As Corruption grew colder, its tendrils of darkness drenched over Hackey5, evermore sinister as their aura chilled his spine and unsettled his companions. Where he had travelled from, he could not tell. The encounter with Flowey was yet another danger he had narrowly avoided, but as more of Corruption's spawns approached, things were looking more dismal. He had set out for something that was going to help the others, but now he was at a loss for what that was, mind clouded, struggling to stand at ease against the weight of Corruption. Suddenly, Sans shuddered, and burst into a pile of bones. The souls he consumed had embraced Corruption's grasp and were pulled from Limbo. Hackey5 tried to retaliate, but found himself ensnared to the ground and met with severe paralysis. Then Flowey emerged before Hackey5.

"Idiot! To think I would leave you in peace. I accepted your offer, and will offer you the companionship you requested. In the meantime, I desire that you stick around here for a while."

"Maybe I will, but I won't allow you to such appalling conduct. Kill or be killed, you had your chance."

Performing his summons quickly, Hackey5 empties his inventory onto the Laser Shark, evolving it with the Evolution Potion, empowering it with the Genetic Mod to swim through darkness, and using the Fusion Kit to fuse the Shield Generator onto it. Flowey watches on intently, before laughing and ordering the corrupted souls to fall upon Hackey5. They plough into the Shark which rose against them, and are repelled swiftly, but are not scattered.

"Edicus (the Laser Shark)! Free them from this realm!"

Charging once more, the corrupted souls make in beeline for Hackey5, but the Shark makes no hesitation, and ignites them with its laser. They scream in terror before dissipating, their essence homing to Flowey and being absorbed.

"Put an end to this wretched cursed flower!"

But Flowey shouts out.

"Fool!"

Instead of facing a barrage of rose-scented death, Hackey5 is then released from his constraints as Flowey falls beneath the ground in a puff of black smoke. Free to move, he immediately equips the Mjolnir, and turns to observe his enhanced companion. It was now a being of Corruption he knew, and it could not leave. At least, it could offer him protection on his way returning to the Overworld. Sans. He was gone, a pile of bones. No, he could be resurrected. Hackey5 retrieved his Resurrection Device and newfound Mega Life Crystal. Speaking the words etched onto the side of the Resurrection Device, Sans' bones started to form together until he was one, complete again.

"You did this?"

"Yes, I did."

"Do you find satisfaction in your actions, Hackey?"

"You're back, Sans. Of course."

"Resurrecting souls of the dead in Corruption. These are our souls. You are in debt for what you have stolen from us."

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

"You wish to use dark magic, you must then remain in our service."

"What?!"

Sans approaches Hackey5 and swipes the Mega Life Crystal that shatters beside them.

"What have you done, Sans?!"

"You're one of us now. Flowey sends his regards."

Where the Mega Life Crystal shattered, darkness began massing.

"No."

Hackey5 thunders Sans with the Mjolnir, sending his bones flying, but Hackey5 could already feel the darkness pouring into him. Energy could not put an end to Sans, and he continued to speak with no further need of a physical form.

"What Resurrection Device would truly bring one back to life if it were not from Corruption itself. No, you dabble in necromancy, my friend. And those you have slain in the past? Cthulhu supports our interests and you go about disrupting our business. We need to expand, and the Overworld has not been claimed by Crimson yet. We face annihilation should they grow beyond our strength. Enough with this! You will help us now..."


 * Hackey5, the Corrupted; necromancer:
 * Wields the Umbramal (former Mjolnir)
 * Mounts the Ocovulent (former Demon Eye)
 * Accompanied by Edicus the Subersascus (former Laser Shark)
 * Carries the Shadow Orb

Now that he is an enforcer of Corruption, he will seek to claim the Overworld and with it the living. Before doing so, he will dwell in Corruption where the Shadow Orb can be fueled for an initial attack. Those who arrive may join Corruption's new legion, or may choose to fight against it to save the Overworld and quash the consuming darkness. Prepare yourself.
