Chapter 16: Soul of Souls
A purple car pulled up to a driveway as the engine shut off. Then the door clicked open as the bare feet of a 3-toed goat monster approached the door of a building she didn't expect to be walking up to in these desperate times.
Toriel: *Walks up to the front door before she knocks on the door with her fist*
"Coming! One second!"
Toriel heard the sound of footsteps come in front of the door and then the clicking of locks before the door opened slightly.
Asgore: *Standing behind the door* Oh, Toriel? What are you doing here?
Toriel: . . . Asgore, I going to need your help. *Toriel says in a stern, yet desperate voice*
Asgore: You need my help? With what? *He asks as he raises an eyebrow*
Toriel: There was an attack at the lab. And the kids are out.
Asgore's eyes shot wide open. Toriel explained it all to him, as she seemed so desperate to find her kids before things got worse. As hesitant as Toriel was, Asgore was and still is a very powerful monster. He could handle what's to come in the lab. Asgore listened to Toriel, and the way she talked showed how desperate she was. Whether out of ways to win Toriel's heart back, or to save the kids he loved very much, Asgore agreed to Toriel's request. The two goat monsters then headed into Toriel's car and quickly raced back to Ebott City. . . The smoke from the Ebott City Lab now floating into the air.
.
.
.
"GRAH!!"
Undyne jumped back as she raised her spear and blocked an incoming slash from Chara as she twirled in the air. Undyne blocked before she pushed back and sent a small barrage of spears towards Chara. Chara stood her ground before she swung her knife with precise cuts, parrying off each of the spears that flew towards her.
Undyne: *Panting as she still stares in shock* . . H-how are you alive?
Chara: *Looks up at Undyne as she smiles evilly, not responding to Undyne's question*
Undyne still couldn't believe her eyes, Chara Dreemurr. How was she alive? What's she doing? What's happening?! So many questions echoed through her head!
But there was no time to comprehend those questions as Chara ran forward at remarkable speeds at Undyne. Undyne tensed before she raised her spear and blocked two heavy slashes from Chara. But then Chara pulled her body in and kicked herself off Undyne, Undyne grunted as a result before looking up at Chara. . . As her knife glowed red.
Chara then swung as she wound her knife back, and slashed her knife in front of her and towards Chara. . . As she swung, a large red cleave appeared in front of her, before it flew at her. . . The same red as Determination, and Frisk's DT magic. . .
Undyne's widened before the slash hit in front of her, blowing her away and against a wall, the wall to the left of the entrance. Undyne held her head as she shook the pain off. But when she looked, she saw Chara flying towards her, the tip of her knife pointed at her. Undyne looked in shock, there no time to react. . .
CRASH
A sudden wall appeared in front of Chara as her knife pierced it but wasn't enough to break it completely. Undyne looked too and barely saw the tip of the knife peeking out the other end of the wall. And not just any wall. . . A bone wall.
Chara: *Smiles before she turns to her left and sees a VERY familiar silhouette in the doorway*
Sans: *His eye and hand glowing with blue flames* Heya kiddo, have not missed ya! *Swings his hand as the bone wall pushes away from Undyne and brings Chara with it*
Chara "rode" the wall of bones before realizing that it was heading towards another wall ready to crush her. While that happened Sans walked over to Undyne and lent his hand out to her.
Sans: You ok, officer? Heh. *Sans smiles as he looks down at her*
Undyne: Sans. *Takes his hand before he pulls her up* Get out of here, it's not safe.
Sans: Heh, not a chance. *Turns to Chara* Besides, you definitely can't handle this after your initial reaction.
Undyne smiled as she summoned a new spear and faced down Chara. While the two don't interact as much, Undyne and Sans knew how powerful the two were. Sans knew how determined Undyne could be, and Undyne knew just how powerful Sans truly was. While she doesn't know about Sans' knowledge of the timelines, she does know how quick Sans can be. As well as the numerous amount of powers he has at his possession. With the two together, they might have a chance!
Chara looked back at the wall before she smiled and took her knife out of the bone-wall and sliced the bones in half before she jumped onto the ground. . . As her face became distorted and glitched. . . Her eyes were no longer human, but red, outlined with the black liquid. The same liquid was also now on her mouth, as it replaced her human mouth. All of these features being unnatural and in a glitchy way.
Sans and Undyne: *Recoil back in shock*
Chara: *Her smile dripping and melting as she starts to rise and look up at the two* . . . *Points her knife before she swings it in the air leaving 5 red slashes in the air*
Chara smiled before he knife then shined red faintly. Then the red slashes glowed a brighter red before they flew at the two powerful monsters. Sans teleported while Undyne dodged out of the way. She then pointed her spear as she sent 10 spears flying at Chara's direction, one after the other. Chara slashed 5 of them off her, dodged 4 of them, and then grabbed the last one with her free hand as she smiled, causing Undyne to react in shock.
Chara threw spear into the air before she kicked it back at Undyne as Undyne dodged it. Chara then blasted herself forward with the black liquid at Chara. Undyne dodged Chara's tackle before she summoned her spear and the two engaged in melee combat. Undyne then readied a big swing as she spun her spear around. Then she swung, but when she did, Chara glitch-teleported away. Undyne looked around in confusion before she heard something. The sound of something charging. She turned around, and saw Chara pointing her knife straight at her as it glowed bright. It then released a powerful burst of DT energy, but in the nick of time, the top cover of a Gaster Blaster appeared, shielding Undyne from the blast.
Chara turned slightly to look behind her as she saw Sans, his arm raised and two Gaster Blasters to his side. Sans then waved his arm down and towards Chara as the Gaster Blasters blasted at her. Chara smiled as she stared the incoming rays. . . Then she started glitching, as her face appeared huge for less than a second in the same terrifying distorted look before she teleported out of the way of the Gaster Blasters. Sans looked around before he smiled, he quickly turned and summoned 5 bones that flew at Chara who had teleported behind him, but Chara teleported again behind him as she raised her knife which was also glowing. She then swung down at Sans, but a sudden wall of spears appeared between them, blocking Chara's swing. Undyne then ran forward and rammed Chara backwards.
Chara plunged her knife into the ground as she slowed herself down before coming to a complete stop. Chara then smiled as she took her knife out from the ground. She then swung her knife in the air, leaving red slashes in the air, 10 to be exact. Her knife then glowed again as the slashes then flew at the 2 of them. Sans and Undyne looked at each other before looking back at Chara. Sans then raised his hand as his eye glowed while Undyne pointed her spear. 5 bones and 5 spears then floated behind the two as they sent them flying at the DT slashes. The projectiles collided in the air and canceled each other out, creating a puff of ash. Then through the ash, Undyne's spear came flying through. Chara immediately slashed. . . But realized something. The spear was yellow. The spear then flew around Chara before it scratched her right cheek, causing a bit of blood to spill from it, visibly shocking Chara as she stopped smiling.
Chara wiped the blood with her left hand before she looked down at it. The blood that seeped from her face, now dried up on her hand. Chara smiled as she looked down before looking up at them with her eyes only. She then glitch teleported backwards to the end of the room as she plunged her knife into the wall. . . As the wall turned red.
Sans and Undyne: *Look in complete confusion*
Sans: What the hell? *He mutters to himself under his breath*
Chara: *Smiles before her eyes and mouth turn completely red* Welcome to my Special Hell.
Chara then swung her knife out of the wall and towards them, as an incredible amount of DT from the wall stopped charging and started flying at the two of them. Undyne's eyes widen as she spun her spear before she jumped in front of Sans.
Sans: U-Undyne!!!
Undyne then summoned two spears as she crossed them in front of her. She then shielded herself and Sans from the incoming DT Wave. The wave lasted a while as it was a very thick amount of DT. Undyne pushed but was actively losing ground, which Sans helped by using his blue magic to try and push her forward. By the time the DT Wave washed over, the two kneeled down in exhaustion.
Sans and Undyne: *Kneel to catch their breath*
Undyne: *Looks back at Sans* H-Hey. . You. A-alright?
Sans: Heh, n-never better.
Undyne smiled. . . Before she heard a loud cracking sound. The two looked and saw the wall of spears that Undyne made to block them off from the human souls. . . Was slashed. And Chara stepped forward as she looked at the human souls. Then. . . There was a large blinding light that obscured Chara from the two as they shielded their eyes. The light occurred for several seconds before it died down. When they looked again, they saw Chara, still standing still with her knife out. She then turned and looked at the two monsters. . . Before she pointed her knife at them, glowing yellow.
Sans: . . Grk. *Sans grunts in exhaustion*
Undyne: *Holds her spear in front of her in a shielding motion, but the spear is visibly cracked*
Chara: *Smiles. . . Before a yellow magical ray is shot out at the two*
Sans and Undyne: *Close their eyes*
. . .
. .
.
FWYOOM
BOOM
Sans and Undyne were tense because they braced for the worse. . . But then they felt extra tense. . . When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in their usual positions, a bit farther away from Chara, as her ray just hit the floor. But more pressing on the two, they were unable to move.
Undyne: Grh! Thanks Sans.
Sans: Uhh, Undyne. That wasn't me.
The two then felt the tenseness on them release, but not because of their relief. Chara then stared in their direction. But not at the two. . . But between the two.
King: *In the door way, hand out as he used Blue Magic to pull the two back before he lowers it and pants in nervousness*
Sans and Undyne: Kid?!/King?!
King: A-are you two alright?
Undyne: *Turns to face him* KING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Sans: How did you get out of that?! You need to leave-
King: *Eyes widen as he raises his arm and pulls the two down as he ducks*
The three of them then narrowly avoided an incoming DT Slash that Chara slashed at them. The two dodged it as the slash hit the doorway, destroying it slightly. Asriel, who was hiding behind the doorway, jumped back a bit before hiding behind the rubble.
King: *Stands up and looks back at the destruction*
Chara: You? *Looks at King*
King: *Turns around in nervousness as he faces Chara*
Chara: You're not like the others. . . I've never seen you before.
King: *Panting as he steps back*
Chara: *Starts walking towards King* And you're soul. . .
King: M-my soul? What about it?
Chara: It's so. . . Unique. . . Almost unnatural. Unprecedented. Do you. . .
Chara then glitch teleported in front of King as she raised her knife, the room seemingly getting darker as her knife glowed blood red. . . As she aimed it at King.
Chara: YOU MIND IF I JUST. . . TAKE IT?!?! *She screams in an evil and unhinged way*
King's eyes were wide as he stared in utter terror. He tried to back up, but Chara still had a strong lock on him.
FWOOSH
SLASH
All of them stared in shock. . . Including Chara, but excluding Undyne. As she lunged forward with her spear. . . And sliced Chara's arm off, the one holding the knife.
King: U-UNDYNE?!?!
Undyne: *Drops down in exhaustion*
Chara stumbled back as she looked at her missing arm while Sans and King tended to the exhausted Undyne. . . While Asriel still watched behind the rubble.
Asriel: . . . It really is her.
"ASRIEL!!!"
Asriel jumped and bleated in shock as he looked around before turning around.
Toriel and Asgore: *Approaching Asriel, behind the rubble, Chara and the others obscured by all the debris*
Toriel: Asriel! What are you doing here?!
Asriel: Mom! Dad!
Asgore: Asriel! We need to leave! It's not safe!
Asriel: Wait! You don't understand!
"Hm?"
The three goat monsters then watched as the rubble they were hiding behind was blown up into chunks. Asgore stepped forward, conjured his red trident and spun it, destroying the chunks.
Asgore: Hey! Whoever you are! You need to stop this now-
Asgore's then cut himself off as he looked. His jaw dropped and his body shook. Toriel as well, who was hugging Asriel, but stood and stared into the room.
Chara: *Knife pointed, as she destroyed the debris before taking a look at Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel* . . . *Lowers her knife*
The four of them looked at each other while Sans, Undyne, and King were low to the floor. Chara stared, her red eyes and knife shining in the dark room. While Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel stood in the light as the two goat parents stared in utter disbelief.
Toriel and Asgore: . . . Chara? *The two say in sync*
Chara: . . .
Asriel: *Pulls away from Toriel* Ch-Chara please.
Chara: . . .
Toriel: M-my child, Chara. Please, I don't know how you're here. But don't do this.
Asgore: We can resolve this peacefully, no more bloodshed needs to be done. We can be a family. . .
Asriel: Chara please. . . *Raises his hand to her* We can talk about this.
Chara: . . . *Raises her arm*
Asriel smiled as he saw Chara raise her arm, he thought his words were getting through to her. . . But then his eyes widened as he realized that was the arm with her hand. In a sudden instant, the black liquid shot out from her cut hand and towards Asriel.
Asriel: NGH!!! *Looks and sees the liquid wrap around his torso. . . Before feeling his soul beat*
Toriel and Asgore: ASRIEL!!! *The two shout as they reach out and run to him*
Chara: Hehehe! You think I care about being a family?! No. . . I'm here for one thing and one thing only. . .
"Erasing this timeline once and for all!"
Sans looked at Chara with worry as he heard her whisper those words. Just then, the black liquid pulled away from Asriel at remarkable speeds. . . Holding his half of the Soul of Determination. All of them stared in absolute terror as it was pulled towards her.
Chara: *Smiles* Finally!
Undyne: NO!! *Reaches out*
DING, DING
Chara then felt a tug on the liquid, specifically on the soul, as it appeared blue.
Sans and King: *Arms out as they use Blue Magic on the soul* NGHH!!
Chara continued to reel in and pull at the soul as she tried her best to fight against the Blue Magic of the two skeletons. Asriel, who was drained upon feeling his soul forcible be taken away. Toriel, Asgore, and Undyne rushed over to him.
Sans: HNGKK!! KID!! D-DON'T LET UP!!!
King: T-Trying!!!
Chara gritted her teeth as she continued to tug at the soul, and was actually starting to overpower the two.
Chara: You tried you hardest. But the time for games, is over. *Raises her knife with her other hand* I will finally be whole. *Swings her knife as it releases a DT slash. . . Towards Asriel*
Asriel: H-Huh?! *Looks*
Toriel, Undyne, and Asgore: *Look up* NO!
Sans: ASRIEL!
King: . . .
. . .
. . .
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
. . .
. . .
King: *Opens his eyes as he looks down and sees his soul, projected in front of him, pounding*
King's soul. A monster soul right side up, like a human soul. It pounded in front of King's chest. . . Then pounded faster. Then faster. Then faster. Until it started to spin. . . And released a large pulse of around the entire room. As a strange white light shot out from King's hand.
King: WH-WHAT THE- WOAH!
Toriel, Sans, Undyne, Asgore, Asriel, and Chara: NGHRAA!!! *All of them shout and grunt as they're all thrusted back*
Everyone was blown back from the sudden shock, as the white light that shot out from King then retracted back as King clenched his fist. Sans hugged King in defense as the two were blown back towards the rest of them, King landing right next to Asriel.
King: NGHRAA!!!!
Asgore: *Catches King while Undyne catches Sans* King!!!
Sans: Ngh, thanks Undyne.
Undyne: N-no problem.
Toriel: King! Are you alright? What happened?
King: I-I'm not sure. *Looks at Asriel, hand over his chest* A-Asriel?
Asriel: Ngh, I-I'm fine. . . But my soul.
THUMP THUMP
King felt something. . . In his hand. Something beating. All of them looked as King opened his hand to reveal Asriel's half of the Soul of Determination. . . But just like Frisk's, drained and hollow.
King: Ngh!
Asriel: N-NO!!! Ack! *Clenches his chest as he feels something tighten up*
Toriel: A-Asriel please! Calm down! *Holds him close*
Asgore: K-King please, give it here!
King: H-how?
Asgore: Just, here.
Asgore then lent out his hand as the hollow Soul of Determination floated from King's hand to Asgore's before Asgore moved it over to Asriel. When he did, the soul seemingly re-entered Asriel's body as he started breathing normally, the brief pain dispelling.
Asgore: Don't thank me, thank your brother. He got the soul.
Undyne: *Looks at Asriel, then at King* Wait yeah, how did you get the soul? *Undyne questions as all of them look at King*
King: I-I. . . I don't know. I felt my soul start to do something. Then it appeared, and it released that pulse. . . And it also did something. It made like a rope, a white rope. . . And it grabbed it.
The white rope from earlier before the blow back. When it shot out from King, it wrapped around Asriel's soul, seemingly dispelling the black liquid from Chara and yanking it out from her grasp. . . But clearly. . . Not all of it.
Sans: What was it?
King: I-I'm not sure. . . But I couldn't get everything. I was only able to get the soul vessel. But then trait. . . It was drained by her- CHARA!!! *King realizes as he looks up to look for her*
It then hit all of them, they never looked at Chara after the blow back. All of them followed King's gaze as they looked around, scanning the room. . . But it was empty.
Asriel: . . .
"She has it. . . The other half, of the Soul of Determination. . ."
TO BE CONTINUED. . .

-------------------------------
Chapter 16: Soul of Souls
A purple car pulled up to a driveway as the engine shut off. Then the door clicked open as the bare feet of a 3-toed goat monster approached the door of a building she didn't expect to be walking up to in these desperate times.
Toriel: Walks up to the front door before she knocks on the door with her fist
"Coming! One second!"
Toriel heard the sound of footsteps come in front of the door and then the clicking of locks before the door opened slightly.
Asgore: Standing behind the door Oh, Toriel? What are you doing here?
Toriel: . . . Asgore, I going to need your help. Toriel says in a stern, yet desperate voice
Asgore: You need my help? With what? He asks as he raises an eyebrow
Toriel: There was an attack at the lab. And the kids are out.
Asgore's eyes shot wide open. Toriel explained it all to him, as she seemed so desperate to find her kids before things got worse. As hesitant as Toriel was, Asgore was and still is a very powerful monster. He could handle what's to come in the lab. Asgore listened to Toriel, and the way she talked showed how desperate she was. Whether out of ways to win Toriel's heart back, or to save the kids he loved very much, Asgore agreed to Toriel's request. The two goat monsters then headed into Toriel's car and quickly raced back to Ebott City. . . The smoke from the Ebott City Lab now floating into the air.

"GRAH!!"
Undyne jumped back as she raised her spear and blocked an incoming slash from Chara as she twirled in the air. Undyne blocked before she pushed back and sent a small barrage of spears towards Chara. Chara stood her ground before she swung her knife with precise cuts, parrying off each of the spears that flew towards her.

CRASH
A sudden wall appeared in front of Chara as her knife pierced it but wasn't enough to break it completely. Undyne looked too and barely saw the tip of the knife peeking out the other end of the wall. And not just any wall. . . A bone wall.
Chara: Smiles before she turns to her left and sees a VERY familiar silhouette in the doorway
Sans: His eye and hand glowing with blue flames Heya kiddo, have not missed ya! Swings his hand as the bone wall pushes away from Undyne and brings Chara with it
Chara "rode" the wall of bones before realizing that it was heading towards another wall ready to crush her. While that happened Sans walked over to Undyne and lent his hand out to her.
Sans: You ok, officer? Heh. Sans smiles as he looks down at her
Undyne: Sans. Takes his hand before he pulls her up Get out of here, it's not safe.
Sans: Heh, not a chance. Turns to Chara Besides, you definitely can't handle this after your initial reaction.
Undyne smiled as she summoned a new spear and faced down Chara. While the two don't interact as much, Undyne and Sans knew how powerful the two were. Sans knew how determined Undyne could be, and Undyne knew just how powerful Sans truly was. While she doesn't know about Sans' knowledge of the timelines, she does know how quick Sans can be. As well as the numerous amount of powers he has at his possession. With the two together, they might have a chance!
Chara looked back at the wall before she smiled and took her knife out of the bone-wall and sliced the bones in half before she jumped onto the ground. . . As her face became distorted and glitched. . . Her eyes were no longer human, but red, outlined with the black liquid. The same liquid was also now on her mouth, as it replaced her human mouth. All of these features being unnatural and in a glitchy way.
Sans and Undyne: Recoil back in shock
Chara: Her smile dripping and melting as she starts to rise and look up at the two . . . Points her knife before she swings it in the air leaving 5 red slashes in the air
Chara smiled before he knife then shined red faintly. Then the red slashes glowed a brighter red before they flew at the two powerful monsters. Sans teleported while Undyne dodged out of the way. She then pointed her spear as she sent 10 spears flying at Chara's direction, one after the other. Chara slashed 5 of them off her, dodged 4 of them, and then grabbed the last one with her free hand as she smiled, causing Undyne to react in shock.
Chara threw spear into the air before she kicked it back at Undyne as Undyne dodged it. Chara then blasted herself forward with the black liquid at Chara. Undyne dodged Chara's tackle before she summoned her spear and the two engaged in melee combat. Undyne then readied a big swing as she spun her spear around. Then she swung, but when she did, Chara glitch-teleported away. Undyne looked around in confusion before she heard something. The sound of something charging. She turned around, and saw Chara pointing her knife straight at her as it glowed bright. It then released a powerful burst of DT energy, but in the nick of time, the top cover of a Gaster Blaster appeared, shielding Undyne from the blast.
Chara turned slightly to look behind her as she saw Sans, his arm raised and two Gaster Blasters to his side. Sans then waved his arm down and towards Chara as the Gaster Blasters blasted at her. Chara smiled as she stared the incoming rays. . . Then she started glitching, as her face appeared huge for less than a second in the same terrifying distorted look before she teleported out of the way of the Gaster Blasters. Sans looked around before he smiled, he quickly turned and summoned 5 bones that flew at Chara who had teleported behind him, but Chara teleported again behind him as she raised her knife which was also glowing. She then swung down at Sans, but a sudden wall of spears appeared between them, blocking Chara's swing. Undyne then ran forward and rammed Chara backwards.
Chara plunged her knife into the ground as she slowed herself down before coming to a complete stop. Chara then smiled as she took her knife out from the ground. She then swung her knife in the air, leaving red slashes in the air, 10 to be exact. Her knife then glowed again as the slashes then flew at the 2 of them. Sans and Undyne looked at each other before looking back at Chara. Sans then raised his hand as his eye glowed while Undyne pointed her spear. 5 bones and 5 spears then floated behind the two as they sent them flying at the DT slashes. The projectiles collided in the air and canceled each other out, creating a puff of ash. Then through the ash, Undyne's spear came flying through. Chara immediately slashed. . . But realized something. The spear was yellow. The spear then flew around Chara before it scratched her right cheek, causing a bit of blood to spill from it, visibly shocking Chara as she stopped smiling.
Chara wiped the blood with her left hand before she looked down at it. The blood that seeped from her face, now dried up on her hand. Chara smiled as she looked down before looking up at them with her eyes only. She then glitch teleported backwards to the end of the room as she plunged her knife into the wall. . . As the wall turned red.
Sans and Undyne: Look in complete confusion
Sans: What the hell? He mutters to himself under his breath
Chara: Smiles before her eyes and mouth turn completely red Welcome to my Special Hell.
Chara then swung her knife out of the wall and towards them, as an incredible amount of DT from the wall stopped charging and started flying at the two of them. Undyne's eyes widen as she spun her spear before she jumped in front of Sans.
Sans: U-Undyne!!!
Undyne then summoned two spears as she crossed them in front of her. She then shielded herself and Sans from the incoming DT Wave. The wave lasted a while as it was a very thick amount of DT. Undyne pushed but was actively losing ground, which Sans helped by using his blue magic to try and push her forward. By the time the DT Wave washed over, the two kneeled down in exhaustion.
Sans and Undyne: Kneel to catch their breath
Undyne: Looks back at Sans H-Hey. . You. A-alright?
Sans: Heh, n-never better.
Undyne smiled. . . Before she heard a loud cracking sound. The two looked and saw the wall of spears that Undyne made to block them off from the human souls. . . Was slashed. And Chara stepped forward as she looked at the human souls. Then. . . There was a large blinding light that obscured Chara from the two as they shielded their eyes. The light occurred for several seconds before it died down. When they looked again, they saw Chara, still standing still with her knife out. She then turned and looked at the two monsters. . . Before she pointed her knife at them, glowing yellow.
Sans: . . Grk. Sans grunts in exhaustion
Undyne: Holds her spear in front of her in a shielding motion, but the spear is visibly cracked
Chara: Smiles. . . Before a yellow magical ray is shot out at the two
Sans and Undyne: Close their eyes
. . .
. .
.
FWYOOM
BOOM
Sans and Undyne were tense because they braced for the worse. . . But then they felt extra tense. . . When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in their usual positions, a bit farther away from Chara, as her ray just hit the floor. But more pressing on the two, they were unable to move.
Undyne: Grh! Thanks Sans.
Sans: Uhh, Undyne. That wasn't me.
The two then felt the tenseness on them release, but not because of their relief. Chara then stared in their direction. But not at the two. . . But between the two.
King: In the door way, hand out as he used Blue Magic to pull the two back before he lowers it and pants in nervousness
Sans and Undyne: Kid?!/King?!
King: A-are you two alright?
Undyne: Turns to face him KING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Sans: How did you get out of that?! You need to leave-
King: Eyes widen as he raises his arm and pulls the two down as he ducks
The three of them then narrowly avoided an incoming DT Slash that Chara slashed at them. The two dodged it as the slash hit the doorway, destroying it slightly. Asriel, who was hiding behind the doorway, jumped back a bit before hiding behind the rubble.
King: Stands up and looks back at the destruction
Chara: You? Looks at King
King: Turns around in nervousness as he faces Chara
Chara: You're not like the others. . . I've never seen you before.
King: Panting as he steps back
Chara: Starts walking towards King And you're soul. . .
King: M-my soul? What about it?
Chara: It's so. . . Unique. . . Almost unnatural. Unprecedented. Do you. . .
Chara then glitch teleported in front of King as she raised her knife, the room seemingly getting darker as her knife glowed blood red. . . As she aimed it at King.
Chara: YOU MIND IF I JUST. . . TAKE IT?!?! She screams in an evil and unhinged way
King's eyes were wide as he stared in utter terror. He tried to back up, but Chara still had a strong lock on him.
FWOOSH
SLASH
All of them stared in shock. . . Including Chara, but excluding Undyne. As she lunged forward with her spear. . . And sliced Chara's arm off, the one holding the knife.
King: U-UNDYNE?!?!
Undyne: Drops down in exhaustion
Chara stumbled back as she looked at her missing arm while Sans and King tended to the exhausted Undyne. . . While Asriel still watched behind the rubble.
Asriel: . . . It really is her.
"ASRIEL!!!"
Asriel jumped and bleated in shock as he looked around before turning around.
Toriel and Asgore: Approaching Asriel, behind the rubble, Chara and the others obscured by all the debris
Toriel: Asriel! What are you doing here?!
Asriel: Mom! Dad!
Asgore: Asriel! We need to leave! It's not safe!
Asriel: Wait! You don't understand!
"Hm?"
The three goat monsters then watched as the rubble they were hiding behind was blown up into chunks. Asgore stepped forward, conjured his red trident and spun it, destroying the chunks.
Asgore: Hey! Whoever you are! You need to stop this now-
Asgore's then cut himself off as he looked. His jaw dropped and his body shook. Toriel as well, who was hugging Asriel, but stood and stared into the room.
Chara: Knife pointed, as she destroyed the debris before taking a look at Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel . . . Lowers her knife
The four of them looked at each other while Sans, Undyne, and King were low to the floor. Chara stared, her red eyes and knife shining in the dark room. While Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel stood in the light as the two goat parents stared in utter disbelief.
Toriel and Asgore: . . . Chara? The two say in sync
Chara: . . .
Asriel: Pulls away from Toriel Ch-Chara please.
Chara: . . .
Toriel: M-my child, Chara. Please, I don't know how you're here. But don't do this.
Asgore: We can resolve this peacefully, no more bloodshed needs to be done. We can be a family. . .
Asriel: Chara please. . . Raises his hand to her We can talk about this.
Chara: . . . Raises her arm
Asriel smiled as he saw Chara raise her arm, he thought his words were getting through to her. . . But then his eyes widened as he realized that was the arm with her hand. In a sudden instant, the black liquid shot out from her cut hand and towards Asriel.
Asriel: NGH!!! Looks and sees the liquid wrap around his torso. . . Before feeling his soul beat
Toriel and Asgore: ASRIEL!!! The two shout as they reach out and run to him
Chara: Hehehe! You think I care about being a family?! No. . . I'm here for one thing and one thing only. . .
"Erasing this timeline once and for all!"
Sans looked at Chara with worry as he heard her whisper those words. Just then, the black liquid pulled away from Asriel at remarkable speeds. . . Holding his half of the Soul of Determination. All of them stared in absolute terror as it was pulled towards her.
Chara: Smiles Finally!
Undyne: NO!! Reaches out
DING, DING
Chara then felt a tug on the liquid, specifically on the soul, as it appeared blue.
Sans and King: Arms out as they use Blue Magic on the soul NGHH!!
Chara continued to reel in and pull at the soul as she tried her best to fight against the Blue Magic of the two skeletons. Asriel, who was drained upon feeling his soul forcible be taken away. Toriel, Asgore, and Undyne rushed over to him.
Sans: HNGKK!! KID!! D-DON'T LET UP!!!
King: T-Trying!!!
Chara gritted her teeth as she continued to tug at the soul, and was actually starting to overpower the two.
Chara: You tried you hardest. But the time for games, is over. Raises her knife with her other hand I will finally be whole. Swings her knife as it releases a DT slash. . . Towards Asriel
Asriel: H-Huh?! Looks
Toriel, Undyne, and Asgore: Look up NO!
Sans: ASRIEL!
King: . . .
. . .
. . .
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
. . .
. . .
King: Opens his eyes as he looks down and sees his soul, projected in front of him, pounding
King's soul. A monster soul right side up, like a human soul. It pounded in front of King's chest. . . Then pounded faster. Then faster. Then faster. Until it started to spin. . . And released a large pulse of around the entire room. As a strange white light shot out from King's hand.
King: WH-WHAT THE- WOAH!
Toriel, Sans, Undyne, Asgore, Asriel, and Chara: NGHRAA!!! All of them shout and grunt as they're all thrusted back
Everyone was blown back from the sudden shock, as the white light that shot out from King then retracted back as King clenched his fist. Sans hugged King in defense as the two were blown back towards the rest of them, King landing right next to Asriel.
King: NGHRAA!!!!
Asgore: Catches King while Undyne catches Sans King!!!
Sans: Ngh, thanks Undyne.
Undyne: N-no problem.
Toriel: King! Are you alright? What happened?
King: I-I'm not sure. Looks at Asriel, hand over his chest A-Asriel?
Asriel: Ngh, I-I'm fine. . . But my soul.
THUMP THUMP
King felt something. . . In his hand. Something beating. All of them looked as King opened his hand to reveal Asriel's half of the Soul of Determination. . . But just like Frisk's, drained and hollow.
King: Ngh!
Asriel: N-NO!!! Ack! Clenches his chest as he feels something tighten up
Toriel: A-Asriel please! Calm down! Holds him close
Asgore: K-King please, give it here!
King: H-how?
Asgore: Just, here.
Asgore then lent out his hand as the hollow Soul of Determination floated from King's hand to Asgore's before Asgore moved it over to Asriel. When he did, the soul seemingly re-entered Asriel's body as he started breathing normally, the brief pain dispelling.
Asriel: Breathing normally O-ow. . Th-thanks dad.
Asgore: Don't thank me, thank your brother. He got the soul.
Undyne: Looks at Asriel, then at King Wait yeah, how did you get the soul? Undyne questions as all of them look at King
King: I-I. . . I don't know. I felt my soul start to do something. Then it appeared, and it released that pulse. . . And it also did something. It made like a rope, a white rope. . . And it grabbed it.
The white rope from earlier during the blow back. When it shot out from King, it wrapped around Asriel's soul, seemingly dispelling the black liquid from Chara and yanking it out from her grasp. . . But clearly. . . Not all of it.
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
King then felt something, something resonating with him in his chest.
Undyne: King? You're soul?
Sans then reached out and projected King's soul, upright and white like a monster soul. . . But at the center of it, was something unusual. A strange light yellow tint.
Toriel: Yellow?
King: Wh-what is that?!
Undyne: . . That's not the usual Yellow that Justice souls have.
Sans: No it isn't.
King: What's happening to my soul?
Toriel: I. . I'm not sure King.
King: O-ok. . . But whatever it is, it helped me. That's what helped me do that pulse and pull Asriel's soul from earlier.
Sans: What was it?
King: I-I'm not sure. . . But I couldn't get everything. I was only able to get the soul vessel. But then trait. . . It was drained by her- CHARA!!! King realizes as he looks up to look for her
It then hit all of them, they never looked at Chara after the blow back. All of them followed King's gaze as they looked around, scanning the room. . . But it was empty.
Asriel: . . .
"She has it. . . The other half, of the Soul of Determination. . ."
Chara. Is. Back. Maybe not a surprise to all, but the lost child of the Dreemur family. First human to fall into the Underground. Asriel's brother. Has mysteriously returned. Now. . . It's a hunt to find her.

Chapter 15: Hunt
STEP STEP
STEP STEP
STEP STEP
Undyne's heavy, black officer boots made audible steps as she looked around. A bright new and sunny day laid ahead of her as she was out on patrol in the bustling Ebott City.
Undyne: *Looking around as she smiles and waves to people*
The day had been mostly tame relax, like most days. Undyne just followed her usual route as she was assigned, usually ECPD officers would be in their cars while on patrol. But Undyne did prefer to be on foot as it was a more familiar feeling since that was she did back in the Underground in the Royal Guard. Plus, she actually prefer to run when action was called, and depending on the danger, she would arrive at the scene faster than officers in a car which impressed and frightened the officers.
Anyways, Undyne had been walking around for a good while and needed a place she could wind down for a bit. And since she was in the heart of the city, she was by some of the hot places for Ebott cuisine. There were many options, but she preferred a place she was most familiar with. Undyne pushed the door open, and heard the ring of a bell, and a familiar scuttling of. . . Spiders.
Undyne: *Smiles as she walks over to the front counter, no line in sight as there were other humans and monsters at their tables eating pastries* . . . *She then smiles as she sees a familiar 19 year old spider monster walking out from the back* Heh, heya Muffet.
Muffet: Officer Undyneee~! A pleasure to see you here!
Undyne: Can I get the usual? *She asks casually as she leans on the counter*
Muffet: Why of course, coming right up~! *Muffet says with a smile*
The lovable Muffet. . . Last name unknown. Back in the Underground, she was only 18 years old when she had her "bakery" in Hotlands. Now she was 19 and had a successful career and franchise for her pastries that both humans and monsters were enjoying. But she wasn't the only one enjoying the times. Her "rival" monster business also resided in the same hot spot as her's. . . Literally. Grillby's, the iconic bar from Snowdin, with its owner. . . Grillby. Yeah, shocker.
But the two of them found success in the Underground, and while they are "rivals" in the monster food industry, both of them are great friends and have had many talks, even though Grillby is much older than Muffet.
Undyne waited at the pick-up counter for a while, checking her nails and occasionally hearing over her radio before Muffet finally came out with her order. A glazed donut with a touch of cream with a hot cup of coffee. Undyne smiled as the young adult spider came out with them.
Undyne: *Grabs the bag and starts eating them then and there* Thanks, Muffet.
Muffet: Of course, officer Undyne ahuhuhu~!! So how have you been? I heard about what happened with Frisk and her old family a week ago.
Undyne: Oh that. . Don't worry about it, we have officers investigating them. Can't tell you everything though, fuhuhu~!! *Undyne laughs before she takes a sip of her coffee*
Muffet: I know that.
Undyne: *Finishes her donut and focuses on her coffee* How have you been? Business seems to be booming!
Muffet: Oh most certainly! Who would've guessed that theming your pastries after spiders would be such a delicacy here on the surface?
Undyne: Heh yeah, you're helpers?
Muffet: Ahuhu~! *She giggles as countless of her spiders come to her side* My darlings? They're enjoying their time as well.
Each and every spider, at least the spiders within the bakery, were all one of Muffet's. Each and everyone of them had a name that Muffet had a name for. Muffet had talked about each of her spiders before to many others and told them their names. Many didn't know how she could distinguish the spiders from each other, and yet Muffet talked as if she expected you to know who she was talking about.
Undyne: Heh, glad things are booming for you-
STATIC
"Attention all units, we have a-"
STATIC
Undyne looked down at her radio as Muffet could only hear garbled nonsense as she looked at Undyne, also hearing the static. Undyne turned away as she tried to listen, but nothing came on. . . Then there was a ringing. A ringing from her phone.
RING RING
Undyne: *Looks at her pocket before she looks at her phone and sees the familiar picture of her love posing at the beach in a nervous pose* Heh, *Taps accept and puts the phone up to her ear* Hey babe, what's-
"UNDYNE!!! WE NEED YOU AT THE LAB, NOW!!!"
Alphys: *On the stairs as she looks at the front entrance* THE LAB!! IT'S. . . IT'S UNDER ATTACK!!!! *She shouts into her phone as she looks at the massive hole in the entrance to the Ebott Lab as many others and visitors are scrambling away to safety*
Undyne: *Slams her coffee onto the counter* What?! Babe?!
Alphys: P-PLEASE HURRY!!! WE-
As Alphys was talking, the line went dead. Undyne's eyes were stiff as she heard the sound of the line go out. She threw some dollars at Muffet before she quickly gulped the hot coffee down and ran out of the door and headed for the lab.
. . .
Alphys: *Looking at the hole in the wall as she ushers people to safety before she notices a figure standing the center of the ashes and on top of the debris* Oh no. *Runs away*
. . .
Chara: *Smiling as she holds her knife* Hehehe! *Spins her knife before she charges forward and kills a few people as she continues deeper into the lab*
.
.
.
GASP
Sans: *His eye shines briefly as he clenches his chest, feeling a VERY familiar figure*
Sans was walking towards his couch before he felt a sudden presence. Papyrus wasn't home, as he was grocery shop. . . Or probably attempting to. But Sans, the moment his eye glowed, he felt it. . . The karma of a familiar figure.
Sans: . . . Impossible. *Looks out to the town* . . . Kid. The soul. *He says to himself in nervousness before he teleports*
. . .
King and Asriel were out in the city, frantically looking around. They couldn't believe what they saw last night.
King: Asriel, what do you mean Chara?! Mom and dad said she was dead!
Asriel: King, I know what I saw! We have to find her before she hurts anyone else!
King: But she could be anywhere!
King and Asriel found themselves in downtown Ebott City, running around. Asriel ran by a building frantically looking around. King followed after, but then he turned right, looking at the window of a building. . . Then froze.
King: . . A-Asriel!
Asriel: *Turns and stops as he sees King facing the window* K-King?
King: *Looks at Asriel and points*
Asriel walked over to see what King was looking at in the window. It was a wall of TVs on the window. And every single one of them had the same headline. . .
"EBOTT CITY LAB UNDER ATTACK FROM A MYSTERIOUS INDVIDUAL!!"
King and Asriel watched for a bit and saw the massive hole in the wall. Reporters telling of knife stabbings to the chest from the individual. . . King and Asriel both looked at each other before rushing to the Ebott City Lab.
.
.
.
Toriel: *Reading a book to distract herself from Frisk's condition*
DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG
Toriel looked up from her book as she placed it on the table next to her, as well as her reading glasses. When she walked over to the door and opened it, she saw her favorite skeleton, huffing and puffing.
Toriel: S-Sans?
Sans: Tori!! Where are the kiddos?!
Toriel: They went out? Why?
Sans: Why did you send them out after what happened with Frisk?!
Toriel: . . . You know that's a good idea. *Toriel says as she questions her parenting skills*
Sans: *Thinking*
. . .
SLASH
Chara: *In the lab as she cuts through many security guards and lab workers, filling her LOVE*
. . .
Sans: *Smiles nervously* Crap. Never mind, stay here! Do not come out!
Toriel: Wait! Sans- *Reaching out*
Before Toriel get any answers from Sans, Sans had already teleported away. Toriel hesitated as she went back in, completely lost as to what was happening. That's when she heard it, the TV was on as background noise when it was interupted by the news, the same Headline about the Ebott City Lab's attack.
Toriel's eyes widened as she grabbed her phone and tried to phone Asriel. but he wouldn't pick up. Toriel muttered to herself in frantic distress as she tried to phone Asriel a total of 37 times. . . Which was generous in this case. Toriel figured that wouldn't be enough, as she picked up her bag and hopped in her car. But rather than head for Ebott City. . . She drove for the woods instead. . .
.
.
.
BOOM
Charahad blasted open a reinforced door, deep within the Ebott City Lab. This is where the true experiments were conducted. Chara walked in, occasionally glitch-teleporting around to look before walking down the hall. It was empty, and the power was off, but she used her knife as a torch, as it glowed red.
Then Chara approached something, another reinforced door. . . But between the seeps of it, she could see something, light. She smiled, her mouth split amongst actual teeth and the black liquid. She then raised her knife before in one fell swoop, released a strange red slash at the door. The door was easily cleaved as it gave way. . . Revealing 6 containers. And 6 floating objects in them. . . Heart shaped objects. . .
Chara: *Smiles as she approaches the 6 original human souls that were taken in the Underground*
FWOOSH
As Chara approached them human souls, something happened. A sudden light blue glow appeared in front of her. . . As a wall of spears emerged from the ground, cutting Chara off from the 6 human souls.
Undyne: HEY! *Undyne calls from the door way of the Experiments Hall* You shouldn't be here!! Come out with your hands up!! *She says as she tightly grips her spear with both hands*
Chara: *Looks down, her back to Undyne and the light unavailable to distinguish her features. . . Before she turns and her silhouette is exposed to Undyne*
Undyne: . . Y-you're a kid?
Chara: *Raises her knife to her face, before it glows red, revealing Chara's demonic face, her eyes and mouth red, as the black substance oozes and corrupts her smile*
Undyne couldn't believe her eyes. The face, while melted and unrecognizable, she could tell who it was. The hair, the skin, the shirt, and the face. . . She stood in shock.
Undyne: . . . Ch-Char-
Chara then smiled, swung her knife down and jumped towards Undyne.
.
.
.
Asriel and King ran across the sidewalk in distress. When they turned a corner, they saw it, the destroyed entrance of the Ebott City Lab. The two ran into the parking lot as they saw police cars and reporters everywhere at the scene, as officers were evacuating citizens.
Asriel: Ngh, we're too late!
King: But she's in there! We have to!
Asriel and King looked around and tried to see if there was a way in, when eventually they saw a small side door around the lab, away from the entrance and where most of the masses were gathering.
Asriel: There! *Points as King looks and the two start heading towards it*
DING
As the two monster boys started making their way towards the door, they then found themselves. . . Unable to move.
Asriel: BAAH!!! *Asriel bleats as he looks around* WHAT'S GOING ON?!
King: *Tries to move* I-I don't know.
As the two looked around, they realized something upon looking at themselves. . . A blue aura.
"What are you two kiddos doing here?!"
King and Asriel: *Turn to face the voice*
Sans: *His left hand out as it sparks flames, along with his eye* You two shouldn't be here!
Asriel: Sans!!! Listen!!
Sans: Yes, I know. . . I felt it kid, Chara.
King: You know about Chara?
Sans: How could I not? She's the one who- *Stops himself as he was about to talk about his fight in the Judgment Hall* It's not safe for you two to be here!
Asriel: But Chara-
Sans: Asriel! No! Stay here!! *Sans says as he looks at the lab before teleporting in*
Asriel: SANS!!! UNFREEZE US!!!!! *Asriel says as he squirms, trying to move*
King and Asriel squirmed around in their positions, thankfully Sans was generous enough to blue them in the shade. But still, they had to try and free themselves, even if they did want to leave!
Asriel: NGH! King! There has to be something, anything! Can you do something?! You used blue magic yesterday!
King: But I can't move! I can't use my hands.
Asriel: King. . .
"Magic doesn't come from our hands. . . It comes from our hearts."
King listened to Asriel's words as they echoed through his head. And he remembered what Sans said back then. How his powers worked how he used them to save those he loved. Not only was he doing this to save Asriel. . . But Sans had just teleported area of a killer.
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
King closed his eyes as he felt his soul pounding. . . With love. Then, he opened his eyes, as his eyes glowed yellow. His soul then appeared in front of him as it pounded, completely blue. But then the blue tint from it started to fade. King then looked at his hand and pointed. . . As his soul turned from blue to white again, and King was freed from the blue magic that Sans had done.
King: *Gasps before he looks at himself and smiles* I-I did it!!!
Asriel: *Has the biggest smile as he looks at King* You did it!
King looked at Asriel before raising his hand as it sparks with yellow flames. Then, the blue magic on Asriel had completely faded away. While we've never seen this before in the Underground, blue magic from the skeletons can be canceled out, similar to how attacks can be canceled out. Like how in the battle with Gaster, the purple hand created attacks that could cancel out each other. When a magical ability has the same magical ability as another and they collide, it cause the two to "cancel out" meaning both of the attacks cease completely. But as shown, that doesn't go for just attacks. Sans and Papyrus had fought for control over things with blue magic before, canceling each other out to the point where the blue magic is either under the other's control, or completely gone from the object completely. And with King being able to use skeleton magic, he was able to break Sans' blue grasp on the two of them.
King: I DID IT!!! *He shouts, throwing his hands in the air*
Asriel: YOU DID IT!!! *Also puts his hands in the air as the two have the most goofiest expression*
"Who's there?!"
The two stopped their goofy antics before they quickly rushed into the side door just in time as an officer scanned the area before returning to the front. King and Asriel then navigated the tight debris field of the Lab, as 4 monsters closed in on the Heir to the Underground.
While returning home from school, we were met with an unexpected visit and fight from the former royal scientist, Dr. W.D Gaster. Sans, Frisk, Asriel, and King all fought valiantly, and forced Gaster back to where he came from. . . But after that, a strange dark mass absorbed Frisk's soul, mainly her Determination. And with it, it caused someone to return. . . Former Princess, Chara Dreemurr. . .

The voice of a human doctor came through as he held a clipboard and monitored everything. The doctor turned to Toriel, Sans, Asriel, and King. All while he stood over a still unconscious Frisk on a hospital bed.
Sans: Talk to us Doc Richards.
Dr. Richards: Her vital signs are intact, and she'll be good. She just requires rest.
Toriel: Ok, thank you doctor!
Dr. Richards walked out of the room, leaving the 4 of them in the room with Frisk as she slept.
Toriel: *Worryingly looks at Frisk as she caresses her head* My child. . . I'm sorry! *Turns to Sans* Sans! What happened?!
Sans: In all honesty Tori, I don't know!
After the battle with Gaster and Frisk's mysterious draining of her soul, Sans teleported the four of them out of the Underground and into the Ebott Hospital, the same one where they brought King to. By the time Frisk was admitted into the hospital, Toriel had left the school and called Sans to check up on the kids. But Toriel, through the phone, could hear everyone panicking as they were rushing to take care of the ambassador of the monsters. This caused Toriel to panic as she quickly made a U-turn in her card and beelined straight for the hospital. Sans and the kids rendezvoused with her and now they were together as they stood by Frisk's bed.
Toriel: I entrusted Frisk to you, Sans! Something must have happened!!!
Sans: Tori! I swear to you! I don't know what happened!
Toriel: SANS!
Toriel and Sans started bickering and arguing slightly as Toriel tried to squeeze the truth out of Sans. While Sans had some sort of understanding for it all, he didn't want to spill the truth of the timelines and Gaster. What truly did stump him, was the black liquid that absorbed Frisk's Determination. Because in all honesty, he truly did not know what that was.
While Toriel and Sans "talked" with each other. Asriel and King walked over to their only human sibling. Both of them at the side of the bed, Asriel to the left of the bed, and King to the right of the bed.
King: . . What happened to her? Why's her soul like that? *King slightly sobs*
Asriel: I don't know, that shouldn't be possible.
King: *Holds Frisk's arm* Frisk, please wake up.
Frisk: . . .
King: *Looks down and lightly tears*
Asriel: Please don't cry King!
King: I won't, sorry. I'm just worried. . . What happened?
Asriel: I. . . I don't know either King.
King: . . . *Looks at Frisk* There has to be a way to help her. *Looks at Asriel* Is there anything you can do?
Asriel: . . *Projects his other half of the Soul of Determination* . . . I'm not sure. Not without risking my life as well. . But-
King: No, please. Asriel. *Looks over pleadingly*
Asriel: *Looks at King as he still "holds" his soul of Determination*
King: We don't know what's wrong with Frisk. . . I can't lose you too.
Asriel: *Looks at King and blushes lightly* O-ok King.
King: *Looks at Frisk* . . . I'm sorry Frisk. I wish there was more we could do. . .
Asriel and King both held Frisk's arm and gently caressed it to sooth whatever was happening with her, whether it helped or not, they didn't know. All while Asriel's Soul of Determination pounded as well. . .
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
.
.
.
THUMP THUMP
Chara: *Walking through New Home in the Underground, before she looks down and conjures her soul, one half Determination, and the other half completely pitch black. . . As it beats in sync with the other half* . . . So you're still alive, Azzy? . . . I'm coming home. *Rushes forward as she passes the Judgment Hall, then the Throne Room, and now, the Barrier Remnants*
.
.
.
Some time passed as the four of them left the hospital. Toriel had calmed down from her frantic questioning and apologized to Sans as he returned the favor. The four of them parted ways, Sans teleporting back to his house while Toriel, King, and Asriel drove back to their house in her car. All of them were silent as they drove back, an unease clouding and whispering in the air as the sun had started setting.
By the time they all had arrived back home, it was night time. They all ate their dinner, also in silence. Toriel was uneasy with it, as usually Frisk would be chatting and talking at the table, which would be a delight to her and Asriel. But she was of course absent. Not even Asriel wanted to talk during dinner. All of them finished their late dinner as Toriel washed the dishes and all of them returning to their rooms in silence. Asriel finished quicker than his brother and mother, so he put his dishes in the sink and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. by the time he was wrapping up, King started walking in to their room.
King: *Pushes the door open as he looks around and at Frisk's bed, seeing it empty* . . .
Asriel: *Walking out of the bathroom, having finished brushing his teeth before noticing King stare at the empty bed* You ok, King?
King: Oh, *Turns to Asriel* Y-yeah. Thanks. . .
Asriel: I mean. . At least you get the bed to yourself? Hehe! *Asriel lightly jokes*
King: I don't want that. . . Um, *Looks at Asriel* C-can I sleep with you in your bed tonight? Asriel?
Asriel: *Eyes widen in sudden shock before he smiles* Hehe sure! I don't mind!
King: *Smiles* Thanks, Asriel.
Asriel: Hehe you can stop with the formality. You can call me bro.
King: Hehe. . . Ok bro! *Smiles*
Asriel smiled before he hopped into his bed while King grabbed a few of his clothes and a towel before going into the bathroom to take a shower. He felt dirty after the battle with Gaster earlier today. Especially with all the dust and ash that occurred. And to the sweetness of Asriel, King was allowed to use Asriel's shampoo. Do remember that monster and human bodies are different. Monsters come in various forms, whether they have scales, feathers, or in the Dreemurr's case, fur. After a year on the surface, products have hit the shelves that make sure that shampoos and hair conditioners are safe and good for monsters to use. Asriel has a different shampoo he uses as compared to Frisk's since he has to keep his fur clean and soft. And since King does have fur as well, Asriel permitted King to use the shampoo as well. While King may be skeletal, he does still have a furry body, meaning the shampoo does work well on him as well, making his fur extra smooth and soft. By the time King was in the shower, he felt his fur, it felt softer than silk, and it gave him the smell of a soft perfume. Nothing too overpowering, but enough to give him an enchanting smell.
King: *Stepping out of the bathroom, clothes already on as he finishes drying his hair and horns and tossing his laundry in a basket*
Asriel: You feel better?
King: Yeah, thanks again for letting me use your shampoo.
Asriel: No problem. *Yawns*
King: *Catches Asriel's yawn as he also yawns* Tired?
Asriel: Yeah, what time is it? *Looks at the clock as it reads 10:49 pm* Oh wow it's late. Ready for bed?
King: Ehehe, yeah. *Walks over*
Asriel moved his sheets over as King crawled into bed. Asriel put the sheets over the two of them as King snuggled up against Asriel's shoulder, making sure not to hit him or the wall with his horns. Asriel rolled over as he hugged King and snuggled him close. King responded by wrapping his tail around Asriel's torso. As Asriel felt it, he realized how warm King's tail was. And of course, both of them felt how soft their fur was. Both them snuggled close as they felt and embraced, both of them feeling the uneasy tension in the air float away from them.
King: *Smiles happily with his eyes closed* Thank you, Asriel.
Asriel: Of course, King, I'm sure things will get better soon.
King: Hehe yeah, you're right. . . Good night.
Asriel: Good night.
Asriel and King held each other closely as they drifted off to sleep. A bundle of warm and furry monsters sleeping the terrible day behind them away. . .
. . .
. .

"Mhmmm."
Asriel groggily woke up, the room was still dark so it was still night. When he leaned over to look at the time, it was slightly obscured. He then realized it was because of King's horns, still on the bed, but no longer holding Asriel too close. Asriel rubbed his eyes before squinting. The clock read "1:56 am". Asriel smiled before he laid back down to try and go back to sleep. But then his stomach started acting up, next thing he knew, he was sneakily trying to wiggle around King to not wake him up.
By the time he did manage to wiggle out, he tiptoed over to the bathroom, using a small light to illuminate where he was going to not wake up King with the light. He used the faint light next to the sink, which allowed him to see and use the toilet. He quickly used the toilet, flushed the toilet as quietly as he could and turned the sink on to wash his hands.
Asriel: *Looking down at the sink as he washes his hands before he turns the sink off and then looks in the mirror*
Chara: *In the mirror behind Asriel as her eyes and mouth glow red, as she holds a knife, also glowing red* Wakey wakey sleepyhead.
Asriel's had never gasped and turned around so fast ever in his life. The moment he turned and faced the figure, he found himself pinned against the sink counter in a matter of seconds. When he fully regained his vision and woke up, he looked and couldn't believe his eyes.
Chara: *Pinning Asriel against the sink counter as she holds a knife in her other hand* Hehe, hello brother~! *Chara says with an evil smile as she looks down at Asriel. Her eyes back to normal as her pupils shined red*
Asriel: *In speechless terror as he looks up at Chara* . . . Ch-Chara?!
Chara Dreemurr, the first human to ever fall in the Underground. Once Asriel's sister and the Princess of the Underground. But she died, yet now, here she was, alive and breathing.
Chara: Hello again, Asriel.
Asriel: Wh-what?! How are you here?
Chara: How are you here? *She says in a slight sassy tone before giggling an evil laugh*
Asriel: . . . But. . .
Chara: Hehe, Asriel. Dear brother. It doesn't matter how I came back, it's why. *Raises her hand. . . Conjuring half a Determination soul* To destroy.
Asriel looked in utter terror. There it was, the other half of his Soul of Determination. The same Soul of Determination that belonged to Frisk. . . But now it was with Chara.
Asriel: H-how did you get that?
Chara: Hehehehe~! *Dissipates her soul* I know you can feel it too, Asriel. . .
"The glitches."
Asriel's mouth hung open in shock and terror. Remember, Flowey/Asriel also knew of the timelines. Meaning he, like Sans, could detect the fluctuations in the timeline. He knew that this timeline was off, with how long it was lasting. But like Sans and Frisk, he played it off to not alert the others of the timeline. But he knew that something was amiss. Including the now various glitches that plagued the timeline. The Kellers, Gaster. . . And now Chara.
Asriel: Is that how you came back?
Chara: *Smiles. . . As her mouth turns black and the same black liquid from earlier that day oozes from her mouth* As I said, it doesn't matter.
Asriel: *Smiles in complete terror* Y-your face! What is that?!
Chara: *Raises her knife* I have one half of the soul. With the other half you have. . . I can be whole, and erase this world!
Asriel squirmed around, but Chara's grip on him was too strong. He tugged and squirmed as much as he could, then he watched as Chara swung her knife down-
WHOOSH
Chara stopped swinging her knife. . . As a bone was thrown between her and Asriel, the bone falling to the ground after stopping Chara. Chara loosened her grip which allowed Asriel to shover her off, but Chara kept her ground and stood up. The two then looked over to where the bone came from.
King: *Awake and arm extended* A-Asriel?
Asriel: King?!
Chara: *Looks at King* Another? Hm. . . You're interesting.
King: Wh-who are you?! *Opens his hand as he summons 3 bones around him*
Chara: . . . You're the same as that comedian. Hehe, this'll be fun.
King then put his hand out as the bones flew after Chara. She dodged them at remarkable speeds, faster than the bones could even react. Chara then lunged at King, her eyes black, and her pupils red as she pointed her knife straight for King. But Asriel jumped in with a Chaos Saber and blocked the attack before pushing Chara off. King then took the opportunity to summon 2 bones and send them at Chara. As Chara recovered, the two bones plunged into her body, hurting her.
Chara: GGGRAAHH!! *Looks at the bones before she plucks them out of her. But instead of blood, the same black liquid splurts out for her* Ngh! *Looks up at King and Asriel*
King and Asriel: *In a defensive stance*
Chara: . . Hmph. You use the same magic as him. . . I'll be back for you then. . .
"You did never use that machine after all."
Chara then. . . glitched, teleporting next to the wide open bathroom window before she jumped through it and into the night city. King and Asriel looked out the window, and saw Chara glitchingly teleporting around before they lost sight of her in the night. Both of them stepped back into the bathroom, Asriel shaking as he covered his mouth with his hands.
King: *Looks over at Asriel* H-hey! Bro! Are you ok? Who was that?! Did they hurt you?
Asriel: *Speechless as he starts shaking*
King: Asriel! Please! *Holds his hands* Wh-who was that?
A week after the prior chapters and the Keller encounter, things have mostly gone back to normal. . . Mostly.

Chapter 13: Bones of Old
The sun shined but it wasn't as warm with the chilly breeze from the wind on this Friday afternoon. Thankfully though, with it being in the afternoon, kids were out of school finally and ready for the weekend. However, Frisk and Asriel weren't driving back home with Toriel this time around, as she had a conference to attend to. So Toriel kindly asked Sans to pick up the two, as King also tagged along since Papyrus was out of the Skelebros house at the moment.
Frisk and Asriel: *Talking and laughing before they spot Sans and King talking* Hey! *Wave at the two*
Sans: *Turns as he hears the two kids shout* Ayyy, there's the kiddos.
King: Hi Frisk! Hi Asriel! *Runs over and gives the two big hugs*
Sans: Heh, *Smiles as he walks over* You kids are adorable.
Asriel: Hehe, howdy to you too, Sans. Thanks again for picking us up! *He says with a slight mouth-opened smile*
Sans: No problem, kid. *Stretches slightly* Well then, ready kiddos?
Frisk and Asriel: Heck yeah!
King: Wait, are we walking? Like how we got here?
Sans: Nah, over here. *Walking to the side of the building* I know a shortcut.
Frisk: Oh boy, Sans.
King: Wait, shortcut? Then why didn't we just take that in the first place?
Frisk and Asriel laughed at King's obliviousness to Sans' ability to teleport as Sans continued smiling. The four of them then walked around the corner, then in an instant Sans pulled out his fingers, and. .
SNAP
.
.
.
"Hm. . . That will have to do."
.
.
.
FWOOSH
.
.
.
Sans: *Emerging from his teleport, eyes closed* Alright, here we are. *Looks up at the Dreemurr household* I'm sure you kids are-
As Sans turned around, his eye sockets widened as he looked around frantically. . . The Dreemurr kids were gone.
Sans: K-Kiddos?! *Looks around frantically* . . . What the hell?!
.
.
.
FWOOSH
Frisk, Asriel, and King: *Walking, with Frisk and Asriel still laughing. . . Before they stop*
As the 3 kids walked they stopped. The sunlight was gone, the bright vibrant sky was absent. . . As they found themselves in Waterfall underneath Mt Ebott.
Frisk: H-huh?!?! *Frisk says in complete horror as she looks around*
Asriel: The Underground?! Waterfall?! How did we end up here?
King: *Has a nervous smile* Sans! What shortcut did you- *Turns around to face Sans, only for him to be gone* S-Sans?!
Frisk and Asriel turned around as well and were met with the horrifying scene of Sans being gone. The three looked around frantically as they called out for Sans.
Asriel: *Walking along the bridges* SAANSS!!!
King: *Walking in a field of Echo Flowers* SAAAANSSSS!!!
"Sans!"
"sans!"
"Sans Sans sans! S- Sans ans- San- Sans! Sans! S- S- Sa- ans- Ns!"
King: *Looks around at the countless Echo Flowers as they mimic his calls* . . . What the who-ha?
Frisk: *Turns a corner* SAN-
Frisk immediately cut herself off mid shout. This caught the attention of Asriel and King who walked over to Frisk as she stared.
Asriel: Frisk? Are you ok?
Frisk: Y-yeah. Look.
Asriel and King then looked around the corner and followed her gaze. . And were met with an ominous gray door. . .
King: W-woah.
Frisk: I. I don't remember this being here when I traversed the Underground. *Starts walking towards the door*
Asriel and King cautiously followed Frisk as the three approached the door.
Asriel: What's in there?
Frisk: I don't know.
King: Maybe a way home?
Frisk and Asriel: *Look at King with a -_- look*
King: Ok, sorry. Dumb idea.
Asriel: Hehe, it's ok King. We're just playing with you. *Walks over and hugs King* . . But I do hope that.
Frisk looked at the door as she held her left arm close to her chest and reached out to the door knob with her right hand. . .
CLICK
. . . But instead of being met with the sunlight or even an unexplored part of Waterfall, they were met with nothing but darkness. And a short white pathway. . . And a figure, slouched over, seemingly melting away. . .
Frisk, Asriel, and King: *Look before finding themselves taking a few steps in to look at the figure* . . .
. . .
CLICK
. . .
Sans: *Eyes widen as he looks around, then at Mt. Ebott* . . . No! *Teleports*
. . .
Frisk, Asriel, and King: *Looking at the figure*
CRZZK
SLAM
Behind the 3 kids, the door quickly slammed itself shut.
Frisk: *Turns and reaches for the door* Wh-what?!
. . .
"Fa💧︎👍︎✋︎nating"
Frisk and King quickly turned to face the figure, as they heard a distorted voice emit from it. Both of them looked at the figure in horror. . . But Asriel looked in bewilderment.
Asriel: *Stares at the figure, jaw dropped*
King: *Looks at him* Asriel? Are you ok?
Asriel: . . .
"Dr. Gaster?"
Frisk: *Looks at Asriel then at the figure. . . As it smiles*
"Ye⬧︎. . ."
Gaster: 👎︎♓︎♎︎n't ♏︎⌧︎pe♍︎t to s♏︎e ⍓︎ou a♑︎♋︎i■︎, yo◆︎■︎g 🏱︎❒︎inc♏︎. (Didn't expect to see you again, young Prince)
King: Wh-who?
Asriel: Th-the royal scientist before Dr. Alphys.
Gaster, Dr. Gaster, W.D Gaster. Back even before the barrier, even the war, Gaster was a powerful and intelligent skeleton, so much so that it caught the attention of Asgore. Gaster, along with a turtle and fox monster were part of the High Council, a joint council of humans and monsters. But Gaster and his peers were primarily assistants or vice-speakers to Asgore, who did most of the talking.
When the war broke out, Gaster was rarely on the frontlines, he was more so in the back with other intelligent monsters to fight against the humans.
Then when the inevitable sealing of monsters occurred, monsters were in disarray. Many wondered what would happen now, but there were those that stayed calm and collected, Gaster and Asgore being one of them. Asgore tasked him and some of the other brilliant scientists to try and find a way to breach the Barrier, a younger but still intelligent Alphys being one of them. In what we know as the "True Lab," Gaster and the other scientists went to work and tried to find ways to reach the surface again. It was through this research that they would discover that they needed 7 human souls to shatter the Barrier, far before Chara even fell. While Asgore considered the idea, he didn't want to put more tension between humans and monsters. So Gaster tried something else, he composed a machine so immensely ambitious that many of the other scientists considered it impossible to be done. Eventually when the First Human fell into the Underground, Gaster had the thought of using the machine on them, but Asgore had already established Chara as the Princess of the Monsters, and a new era of peace with the humans and monsters would start, so Gaster's thought went away. But then. . . He had done it, months after Chara fell into the Underground, he had completed his machine and wrote his discovery in one of the entry logs. . . Entry 17.
But Gaster got so lost in this research, and the drive to free monsters. Back then, he would interact with Asgore and occasionally having some interactions with Asriel, which is how Asriel was able to recognize him. . . But as Gaster got so enamored with his research, he distanced himself to create his magnum opus. The massive metallic skull in the True Lab, the Determination Extractor. It was able to suck the determination out of any being that crossed into it. But one day, the Core of the Underground went critical, and it overloaded the Extractor. All scientists were forced to evacuate, while Gaster stayed to try and stabilize the machine. He was successful, prompting Alphys to tell Gaster to evacuate with them. . . But then the room crumbled. . And Gaster slipped into the Determination Extractor. Alphys could only watch while backing up, as Gaster was melted away into nothingness within the Determination Extractor, and considered dead. Asgore shut down any and all plans to use the machine at all, and it lay dormant ever since, unpowered. The only casualty being Gaster himself, considered dead. . . Yet now. . . Here he stands, melted in a dark strange room. . .
Gaster: *Looks with his melted face as his mouth and cracks oozes with a dark liquid* ✡︎ou s⧫︎♓︎ll re❍︎♏︎m♌︎er ❍︎e. (You still remember me.)
Asriel: H-How are you here? W-we thought you died. . .
Gaster: No, b◆︎t some⧫︎♒︎ing abo◆︎⧫︎. . . Yo◆︎. . . Hm, h□︎w c◆︎❒︎♓︎ous. (No, but something about. . . You. . . Hm, how curious.)
King: *Looks at himself* About. Me?
Gaster: *Looks back at Frisk and Asriel* 👌︎◆︎t ⍓︎ou ⧫︎⬥︎o. ✡︎ur ♎︎♏︎⧫︎ermi■︎♋︎⧫︎♓︎on e⌧︎♍︎♏︎eds t♒︎e m□︎⬧︎t. Sp●︎♓︎⧫︎ am□︎■︎♑︎st you t⬥︎o. (But you two. Your determination exceeds the most. Split amongst you two.)
Frisk and Asriel: *Look at each other then at Gaster*
King: *Walks behind the two of them* I don't like this.
Gaster: 🕈︎♓︎th t♒︎♋︎t 🙵♓︎nd of p□︎⬥︎er. Wi⧫︎h t♒︎at ⬥︎♒︎□︎le so◆︎●︎. I ♍︎□︎uld ❒︎♏︎tu❒︎n. I cou●︎︎♎︎︎ b♏︎︎ ⬥︎︎♒︎︎ol♏︎︎ ♋︎︎♑︎︎ain. (With that kind of power. With that whole soul. I could return. I could be whole again.)
Frisk: *Turns for the door*
Just as Frisk turned to face the door, 3 strange black appendages shot out from the wall and wrapped around the door and covered the door.
Frisk: Ngh! *Stops dead in her tracks* Um. *Tries to summon her DT Sword. . . But can't* H-huh?!
Gaster: *Smiles as his jaw slightly splits open* I'm afraid you can't. I've waited too long for this opportunity!
Just then, the walls shifted as they broke down, revealing themself to be in a dark void.
Asriel: UM!!! *Looks around frantically*
Gaster: *His torso detaches some of the black liquid from his body, resembling hands* I just have to kill you once, right?!
The same black mass then started slamming down in pillars towards them as they stood petrified, one of the strange black masses about to crash onto Asriel.
King: ASRIEL!! *Shouts as he pulls Asriel back before he's crushed*
Asriel: Ngh! S-sorry!
3 more appendages shot out and took a swing at Frisk, who swiftly dodged them as she rushed to her brothers.
King: Are you ok?
Asriel: Y-yeah.
Frisk: *Stands by them*
FWYOOM
All of them widened their eyes as they turned around, seeing a Gaster Blaster with broken eyes charging before it shot a red ray at the 3 kids. All of them braced. . .
WHOOSH
Sans: *Appears in front of the kids with a wall of bones that blocks the ray*
Frisk: S-SANS!!
King: Huh?!
Asriel: How'd you-
Sans: We can chat later, let's get out of here! *Snaps to teleport. But it fails too* What?!
Gaster: H❍︎hm! Y□︎◆︎'r♏︎ st◆︎♍︎🙵 he❒︎♏︎ w♓︎⧫︎♒︎ me. (Hmhm! You're stuck here with me.)
Sans and Kids stared at Gaster, before they looked at the door, still covered.
. . .
Butterfly: *Flying by the door, enjoying life-*
BWYOOSH
A blue ray from Sans' Gaster Blaster shot out and destroyed the door, leaving a massive hole in the wall. Frisk while holding Asriel and King rushed out of the door and turned the corner. Sans jumped to where the door once stood before summoning a Gaster Blaster just in the nick of time. It shot a blue ray against Gaster's red ray. Eventually Gaster managed to overpower it as Sans teleported away and back to the kids as he sweated a bit.
Gaster: Finally. . *Slithers over to the blasted door area before exiting the area*
As Gaster left the room, the environment shifted before magic started converging on him. He was engulfed before he reappeared, 7'4 in a black science robe, brown pants, and black shoes. The cracks along his eyes are somewhat repaired, not fully cracked, but still remaining. 2 hands then floated at his side, the palms of the hands having holes, with one hand having a red glow in the hole and the other having a light blue glow.
Sans: Hey, so I don't wanna alarm you three. . . But I can't beat this guy.
Frisk: What?
Asriel: Oh no!
Gaster: Then it is useless to resist! *Puts the two hands out as they fly at remarkable speeds at Frisk and Asriel*
Frisk and Asriel stared in shock as Sans looked in shock. . . Then. . .
FWOOSH
Frisk and Asriel: *Stare as the hands stay still. . .*
King: *Hand out as he freezes the hands with blue magic* N-no!! *Swings his hand to the side as the hands fly back to Gaster*
Gaster: *Raises his right hand as the hands float at his side again* Hmmm.
Sans: *Rushes over to King* Kid, you ok?
King: I-I'm fine.
Asriel: *Calls a Chaos Saber into his hand as he points it at Gaster* C-come on! You can't beat him. . But maybe we can, together! Right, Frisk?
Frisk: *Summons her DT sword and shield* Right!
King: W-woah! *Looks at Frisk's DT sword and shield*
Frisk: *Looks at King and smiles* Fergo wasn't the only one who could this, King!
Frisk, after a year of being on the surface, Frisk, like many others, has developed her form of Determination magic, or DT magic for short. Frisk concentrates her Soul of Determination into a red, but transparent sword and shield.
King: W-wait! But I don't know how to control my powers!
Sans: No time like present, kiddo!
King: Sans!! *King calls out as Sans winks*
Frisk: *Steps in front of King* Just stay behind us.
King: *Nods as he steps back*
Frisk, Asriel, and Sans stared down Gaster. Frisk gripped her DT sword and shield tightly, Asriel pointed his Chaos Sabers as he held it with both hands, and Sans stared, hands in his pockets as his left eye glowed blue.
Gaster: Hm, I see how it is. But this will be done! *Pulls the red magical hand in front of him and fires a dark black ray with a red outline*
Sans: *Summons a Gaster Blaster and fires it*
Asriel: *Summons a Chaos Buster as it's already fully charged before he fires a rainbow ray at Gaster's ray*
The two rays from Sans' Gaster Blaster and Asriel's Chaos Buster then both merged together. When the two rays hit Gaster's red ray, they quickly overpowered it and blasted it back. Gaster hopped to the side along with the red hand.
Sans then teleported behind Gaster and fired another Gaster Blaster at him. Gaster glanced before he teleported as well. When he reappeared, he put his arms out, just then 5 more smaller hands appeared, totaling 7 hands at Gaster's aid. A red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, and purple hand each. The hands then floated in a circle before firing a white ray with a red outline at them.
Frisk jumped forward as she shielded the incoming ray. But it pushed against her. Frisk pushed as well, but she was slowly losing ground. Then Asriel came behind her and pushed as well. The two siblings pushed before the ray completely dissipated. Sans then teleported next to them and fired a total of 10 bones after Gaster.
Gaster retaliated by sending forth the yellow hand. It opened as it fired a barrage of yellow energy bullets at them. Sans teleported around dodging each energy bullet. Frisk remained shielding her, Asriel, and King. Asriel then raised his hand up to the air as his fingers charged with rainbow lightning. Then, a small Shocker Breaker roared in the sky before it came crashing down on the yellow hand. But Gaster then sent forth the green hand. When it opened its hand, it formed a green barrier around the yellow hand as it shielded it from the Shocker Breaker.
Asriel: What?!
Frisk: He controls those hands. How do we stop that!
Sans teleported behind Frisk's shield as he was a bit tired from the teleporting, but Frisk was getting tired from keeping the barrier up as well.
Asriel: What do we do?!
WHOOSH
All of them looked in shock as a bone went flying towards the green hand. When it hit the green hand, the hand recoiled back as it tensed up, causing the green dome around the yellow hand to fade before disappearing.
Frisk: *Looks back*
King: *Arm out worryingly* Destroy it!
Asriel looked at King in confusion before turning back to the hand and raising his hand again as a Shocker Breaker came down again and destroyed the yellow hand, stopping the yellow energy bullet barrage. This allowed Frisk to finally drop her shield and regain some breath as Gaster looked in shock as it occurred.
Sans: Heh, good eye kid!
King: *Nods as he stands back again*
Asriel then ran forward as he swung his Chaos Saber into his hand again. Gaster looked as Asriel jumped forward, but Gaster acted quicker. He put his green hand forward as it created a barricade that shielded him from Asriel's incoming attack. Asriel gritted his teeth as he hit the barrier, but then Gaster put his hand out as the light blue hand appeared. It put each of its fingers out, and with it, light blue strings shot out from them. One of them wrapped around Asriel's torso before pulling him in.
Asriel: WOAH!! *Scrambles to try and grab something*
King: Asriel!!!!
Sans: *His eye glows before he puts his arm out and grabs Asriel's soul with blue magic as he pulls Asriel back against the light blue strings*
Sans and Gaster engaged in a tug-a-war with Asriel for a while. But then, Frisk jumped forward and using her DT sword, cut the strings that were holding Asriel, allowing Asriel to barrel towards Sans. Frisk then spin her sword in her hand as she aimed it at the green hand, tip to it. The green hand put up a barrier to stop Frisk's blade. But Frisk's Determination was incredible, and it allowed her blade to pierce the barrier of the green hand. But she was slowed down as she pushed more against it.
Frisk then looked to her left as she saw the light blue hand pointing its fingers at her. It then shot out light blue strings at her. Frisk was about to put up her DT shield. . . But then 5 bones appeared floating between her and the hand, causing the strings to wrap around them instead of Frisk. As Frisk looked back, she saw King, arm out again as the bones just floated.
King: *Looking with his arm out and hand open*
Sans: *Looks at what King did before turning to him* Kid, crush it!
King: H-how?!
Sans: *Looks at King's hand* Clench your hand into a fist!
King: *Looks at Sans, then at the hand before clenching his hand into a fist*
King proceeded to clench his hand that was extended out into a fist. When it did, the bones that shielded Frisk started moving before they formed a pentagonal perimeter around the hand and closed in. When they did, they crushed the light blue hand, along with the bones.
Frisk: *Smiles* Th-thanks King!
King: Y-yeah! *Lowers his hand and looks at his hand* H-how.
Sans: Nice job, kid!
Frisk then turned back to the green hand before she wound her other hand back and pushed against her blade, as it thrusted forward pierced the green hand, destroying it.
Gaster: *Growls as he sends forth the dark blue and orange hands*
The two hand floated before syncing in opening. The blue hand sent forth dark blue, magical buzzsaws at them all while the orange hand floated. Sans, Frisk, and Asriel all dodged the buzzsaws while King stood in the back. But then he noticed something. 5 white glows from the orange hand. But nothing happened.
Sans: *Teleports around before turning to King* Kid, you- *Eyes widen as he looks at King*
When Sans looked over at King, he saw past King, and saw 5 white orbs behind King as he stood, idly and nervously. Just then, the orange hand shined an orange glow, and as a result, the white orbs around King glowed orange now as they glowed rapidly.
Sans: *Teleports in front of King* KID!!
King: S-Sans?! *Steps back a bit before he notices the orbs floating around him*
Sans then hugged King before teleporting away, and just in the nick of time! Because the orange orbs then exploded in a fiery explosion. Sans then reappeared a bit away from the explosion as he held King close.
Sans: *Looks at the explosions, then at King* You ok?
King: Y-yeah, thanks Sans!
Sans: *Nods before turning to Frisk and Asriel as they dodge and parry off the dark blue buzzsaws and noticing more white orbs appear across the battlefield* KID LOOK OUT!!!
Frisk and Asriel looked around as they noticed the white orbs. Then, they turned orange as the orange hand shined. The two 12-year-old Dreemurrs jumped back as the explosions occurred. But as they jumped back, they noticed about 10 dark blue buzzsaws making their way towards them. Sans quickly acted as he put his hand out towards the buzzsaws, causing them to freeze, as a the blue magic's aura surrounded the buzzsaws, but they slowly started advancing towards them. Frisk and Asriel were about to run out of the way, but then 3 large dark blue buzzsaws emerged from the ground around them, they were trapped as the initial 10 buzzsaws slowly started advancing towards them.
Frisk and Asriel: *Back up as much as they can*
Sans: NGH! HNGK! *Struggling to hold the blue magic on the buzzsaws. . . Before feeling the magical weight being lifted from him* H-huh?
Sans looked up, and to his shock, saw that the buzzsaws were now completely light blue, under a complete blue magic control. He looked over and saw King, his hand out as well, sparking with yellow flames.
King: *Hand out as well before he turns to Sans in confusion and nervousness*
Sans: *Smiles* Heh, I think you do know how to control your magic kid.
King: N-not! I just saw Frisk and Asriel in trouble! And reached out and. . . Then that happened.
Sans: And the same thing happened during your first time at the school. Then with Fergo? Then with me?
Frisk and Asriel: *Look at Sans and King*
King: What?
Sans: Your magic. You use them to protect those you love.
King: *Looks at Sans before thinking*
Sans was right in that sense. Every time King has used his powers, it's been in a form to protect those he loves. When he first awakened to his powers, he used them to save Frisk, Asriel, and MK from Ryan and Patrica. Granted, he didn't know how to control them at first, but he did use them to protect them. Then with the Keller family, when Gerald was about to grab Sans back in the warehouse, King acted, to save him. Then finally, when Fergo was about to hurt Frisk, King fully awakened. To save, not just Frisk, but the family he has now, he summoned bones, Gaster Blasters, and even used blue magic. But only for a moment, a moment of adrenaline. Because afterwards he passed out for several hours.
But Sans was still correct, every time King used his powers, it was out of his desire to help and save the ones he loves.
King: Wh-when you put it like that. I guess you're right.
Sans: Heh, now. Lets save the kiddos right now. *Turns back to the buzzsaws* Move your arm to the right!
Sans and King then synchronized as they moved their arms to the right. Just then, the blue buzzsaws moved as well as they flew in Gaster's direction. Gaster dodged them, but the orange and dark blue hands, not as lucky. They were swiftly destroyed by the the incoming buzzsaws.
Gaster: *As he watches the hands get destroyed, the crack on his right eye cracks more* I'm reaching my limit. But that doesn't matter. I will come back! *Puts his hand out and sends the purple hand at them*
Sans summoned a large boulder-sized Gaster Blaster and fired it at the hand. But then the purple hand opened it hand and fired a ray at the Gaster Blaster as well, causing the two to cancel each other out. Asriel then brought his Chaos Buster and fired projectiles at it, but the hand mimicked it as well and caused the bullets to cancel out. King then walked over and summoned 5 bones and "threw" them at the hand, but the hand mimicked that as well. As it summoned 5 black bones with purple outlines, canceling the bones out.
Asriel: How are we supposed to destroy this one?! This thing just copies us!
Sans: *Thinking before looking at Frisk, mainly her DT sword* Hey kid.
Frisk: *Looks at Sans*
Sans: *Eyes her sword before looking at the hand*
Frisk: *Looks at her sword then the hand before catching on* Ohhhh!! You think?
Sans: *Shrugs* Oh I have no idea, but it's worth a shot.
Frisk: You're betting on that?!
Sans: Heh, yes.
King: What? *Completely lost as he looks at Sans and Frisk*
Sans: Keep the hand busy!
Sans then proceeded to summon another Gaster Blaster and blast it at the hand, the purple hand mimicked his actions. Asriel gripped his sword and swung it from a distance, each swing sending rainbow stars at the hand, the purple hand mimicked his actions. King then summon a bone in his hands as he ran forward and gripped the bone with two hands as he swung at the hand, the hand mimicked his actions.
Sans, Asriel, and King: *Pushing against the hand as the hand struggles to hold them all back*
Just then, Frisk stepped as she only had her DT shield in her right hand. She then turned before she swung her hand and threw her shield at the hand with all her might. The shield flew straight for the purple hand. The purple hand tried to replicate it. . . But since it was DT magic, not monster magic, it couldn't replicate the shield. This allowed Frisk's DT shield to easily slice through the hand, destroying it. When it did, all the mimic attacks it ceased to be as well as the 3 male monsters stopped attacking.
Gaster: *The crack along his head breaks even more*
Sans: *Looks at the hand's magical particles cease to be*
Gaster: You don't know how it feels!
Frisk, Asriel, King, and Sans: *Look over at Gaster*
Gaster: To be alone! *The lone red hand fires a dark ray with a red perimeter at Sans*
Sans: *Dodges to the side*
CRACK
Gaster: *Summons 2 melted Gaster Blasters* Helpless! *Shoots the blasters at Frisk*
Frisk: *Summons a new DT shield and shields the blasters before the rays disappear*
CRACK
Gaster: ABANDONED!!! *Summons a larger Gaster Blaster and fires it at Asriel*
Asriel: *Puts his hand up as he summons a Shocker Breaker to block the incoming blaster before it disappears*
CRACK
King: *Staring at Gaster before he hears several of Gaster's Gaster Blasters appear behind him as he turns around*
Gaster: FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!
CRACK CRACK
The Gaster Blasters that Gaster summoned then shot at King. King put up wall of bones as he pushed against them, the bones starting to crack. . .
CRRRRRRAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK
King then felt the force on the bones loosen as the Gaster Blasters stopped firing. All of them looked over at Gaster, now on his knees in defeat, the cracks along his head breaking even more. . As the red hand cracked into pieces, Gaster now out of hands.
Frisk, Asriel, and King: *Walk over to Gaster*
Sans: *Teleports in front of Gaster, between Gaster and the kids*
Gaster: I just wanted to come back.
Sans: . . This isn't the way though, G.
Gaster: You know this is the only way. Even if it means using these errors!
As Gaster talked, 2 black masses appeared behind the kids, mainly Frisk and Asriel. Then, they shot out at the two, aimed at the back of their chests.
SPLAT
. . .
The three kids looked down. . . And back, as they saw the black masses mere centimeters from their backs. Sans and Gaster continued looking at each other, as Sans had impaled Gaster with 2 bones through the chest.
Sans: . . Sorry.
Gaster: *Looks at Sans before closing his eyes and fading into the same black mass as it crawls back into broken door way, before the wall starts to rebuild itself from the same black mass, just no door* . . .
"This timeline isn't normal, Sans. It's around you."
Sans looked as Gaster was forced back into the room he was trapped in. But then he heard those last words Gaster echoed. All while Frisk, Asriel, and King watched. . .
SLITHER SLITHER
Sans: Around us?
King: *Looking over at Sans*
Asriel instinctually looked over at King, but when he did, he saw something. . . Unusual. A strange black mass slithering and attached to the wall. His eyes widened as he saw it, but then he jumped as the same black mass shot out towards King.
THWOOSH
Asriel: *Watches as the black substance shoots out to King* KING!!!!! *Reaches out to him*
It felt like time slowed as King turned to Asriel, then turned around and saw the strange black liquid shooting out towards him. There was no time, he stared and braced. . .
SPLAT
King: *Eyes sealed shut. . . Because he looks down and opens his eyes, to see nothing on him* H-huh? I-I'm- *Looks up and freezes*
When King looked up, his eyes frozen and shook, and so too did Asriel and Sans as they looked over. . . Frisk, jumped in front of King, and the strange black substance hit her instead. But instead of physically harming her. . . It wrapped around her soul, or half of her soul.
King and Asriel: F-Frisk?
Frisk: . . . *Smiles*
Just then, Frisk felt her soul pulse before the strange black mass start doing something to her soul as Frisk was lifted into the air by it. All of them looked in confusion and horror as Frisk writhed and screamed in alleged pain. . . Then she stopped being lifted and fell to the ground, as the black appendage let her go and started slithering away.
Asriel and King: Frisk!!! *Rush over to Frisk as she rests on her knees*
Frisk: N-nghmm. . . *Panting*
Sans: *Rushes over before summoning a few Gaster Blaster to blast at the strange black mass, missing them all as it slithers away. He then stares around a bit before turning to Frisk*
Asriel: Frisk! What happened?!
Frisk: . . . M-my. . . S-soul. *Frisk says in a weak voice, sounding drained*
Sans: Hey kid. *Kneels down* Let me see. *Puts his hand out*
Sans then used his magic to project Frisk's soul. But when that happened, they saw the outline of the soul visible, but the inside of the half-soul was hollow, nothing. Not red.
King: Wh-what's wrong with your soul?!
Sans: *Eyes shake as he looks in terror*
Frisk: I-I'm. . . Not. . . S-sure- Nghm. *Passes out from exhaustion*
Frisk passed out as Sans held her in his arms before the 3 of them stood up.
Sans: *Looks at the unconscious Frisk* . . . L-let's go.
Asriel: Quickly.
Sans nodded before he teleported him, Frisk, Asriel, and King out of the Underground, properly this time. All of them completely confused as to what was happening. . .
. . .
MEANWHILE
. . .
The black liquid slithered through the Underground at astonishing speeds. Moving from Waterfall, through Snowdin, and through the Ruins in a matter of seconds. . . But then it reached a dead end, at a bed of flowers. . . But the bed was disturbed, and a wooden coffin laid there, but broken. . .
The black liquid moved over to coffin as it "peers" into the coffin, as it contained the drained Determination from Frisk. It then leaned down before the entire black mass merged. . . Into a body on the ground. The black liquid and Frisk's Determination being transferred into the body. . .
. . .
GASP
Chara: *Shoots up from the coffin* . . . *Looks around before looking at her hand* . . . *Smiles evilly as her eyes turn black, and her pupils turning blood red* . . .

Last time, the family and friends retreated back and tended to the unconscious King while Frisk and Sans talked about things that had been happening. Now it's time to put this ugly night to rest.
The Moon howled with the chilly breeze within the night sky. Ebott City started dying down a bit as humans and monsters clocked in for the night. That included the Lighttale family, or at least start to. Some of them talked, some of them checked in with the others, etc. Plenty of them were split amongst the house, but the Dreemurr parents sat in the living room, with King still limp. . .
Toriel and Asgore: *Sitting near King*
Toriel: . . . He's not wrong, but he doesn't know.
Asgore: *Looks at Toriel as he caresses King's head on his lap* What?
Toriel: King was right, this wasn't your fault, Asgore. But he wasn't there for everything back then. The actions you did in the Underground.
Asgore: Toriel-
Toriel: I know you're trying Asgore, but what you did was far from heinous. I can't forgive you for that.
Asriel: Mom!!! *Asriel calls out from his room*
Toriel: *Her and Asgore look up before she stands* Please hold your thoughts, Asgore.
Asgore watched in sorrow as Toriel ascended the stairs to see what Asriel needed. Thus, leaving Asgore alone, the cracking of the flames from the fireplace occasionally breaking the silence.
Asgore: *Alone as his thoughts ponder in his mind* . . .
"Wh-what. . ."
Asgore: *Eyes widen as he looks down*
. . .
King: *His eyes quiver as his clawed-fingers twitch. . . Before he opens his eye sockets slowly* . . Wh-what did she mean?
Asgore: K-King! *Asgore says as he helps King*
King sat in an upright position as he rubbed his skull. Asgore swiftly placed the blankets around King's shoulders.
Asgore: Are you ok, King?
King: Y-yes. . . J-just cold.
Asgore: Wait here please! *Asgore asks politely as he rushes to the kitchen*
King waited in silence and achiness as he waited, hearing Asgore work his magic in the kitchen. When he came back, he was holding two cups of hot tea.
Asgore: Please, take one.
King: *Reaches out and grabs one of the cups* Th-thank you, dad.
Asgore: *Looks at King in shock as he calls him "dad"*
Asgore then sat side by side next to King, watching over him as the two sipped on the hot and warm tea by the fireplace. King looked down at the table as he tried to recover, but Asgore kept his focus on King, making sure he wasn't to pass out again.
Asgore: . . .
King: What did she mean?
Asgore: What was that, King?
King: . . . Mom. She said your actions in the Underground? Heinous? Unforgivable? . . . *Turns to face Asgore* What did she mean?
Asgore looked at King, then down at the tea as his giant furry fingers rubbed against the glass cup, feeling the warmth of the tea through it.
Asgore: . . . *Inhales and exhales* . . . It was back when The Barrier was still up.
King: *Looks at Asgore and leans in*
Asgore: We were desperate. We needed any hope of getting back to the surface. . . Because by then, Asriel and our other child. . . Were killed.
King: Other child?
Asgore: . . . The first human to fall into the Underground, Chara Dreemurr.
King: Chara. . .
Asgore then went on to explain the bond that Chara and Asriel built when they lived in the Underground, how the bond they built showed that humans and monsters could live in harmony. . . And how it was all shattered, when Chara and Asriel's passed.
King: . . . I'm. Sorry.
Asgore: It's ok, King. . . But in that moment, something flourished in me. Gripping the last fabric of Asriel's sweater before he passed. . . I. . . I needed our hope back. The humans took the hope we so dearly hoped would happen. So I made a promise to the monsters of the Underground. And to not risk complete annihilation with our backs against the barrier. . . Any and all humans that fell into the Underground from Mt. Ebott would be killed, so we can use their souls to break the barrier.
King: *Looks in shock* So that explains those legends I've heard. Any who ventured into Mt. Ebott never returned.
Asgore: Yes. Me and the Royal Guard of the Underground killed 6 humans and took their souls. Held them in reserve until the time was right.
King: . . . Did you. . . Um.
Asgore: Hm? What's wrong, King?
King: In the Underground. My family. . . Did you-
King was then cut off as he felt one of Asgore's large, furry hands on his shoulder. Turning his head completely, King locked eyes with Asgore's green eyes, filled with reassurance.
Asgore: I promise you, King. I didn't.
King: How do-
Asgore: Because I only took the souls of young ones. About as old as Frisk, Asriel, and you.
King: Then. . . That means-
Asgore: While I didn't take the souls of your family, I took the souls of 6 human children. That's what your mother was talking about.
King: O-oh. . .
Asgore: What I did was unforgivable in Toriel's eyes. But I don't blame her, I just tried to give us hope. Now Toriel tries to distance herself from the carnage. She can't forgive me.
. . .
*SHUFFLE*
As Asgore sat there with his thoughts and feelings, he felt the warm embrace of a hug against his torso. King's fur brushed against Asgore's, his 5-clawed hands wrapping around Asgore as much as they could. King's yellow blanket also wrapping around Asgore. The former king of the Underground looked down at the Skeletal New-Breed.
King: Well. I forgive you. I understand that you were trying to give them hope, but 6 children wasn't the way. But still. . . I forgive you. And I'm sorry.
Asgore looked at King, King wrapped around him as he rested his left cheek on Asgore. Asgore's eyes watered a bit before he closed and reopened his eyes as he made a close-mouthed smile. He reached down and hugged King with one hand and stroked King's head between his horns, patting him in the process.
King: *Recoils in reactions as he slightly looks up at Asgore*
Asgore: *Softly exhales and smiles at King before nodding* . . . Though I do have to ask you something, King.
King: Hm? *Looks up completely at Asgore* What is it?
Asgore: Y-your powers. Your magic. How'd you do it?
King: I. . . I don't know, really. All I knew was seeing Frisk in trouble. And I. . I had to save her. Then something in me just. . . Snapped.
Asgore: Hm, I see. But are you ok?
King: I think so.
Asgore: Perhaps that was just your body starting to adapt to the monster physiology.
King: . . . *Looks down*
Asgore: Oh right. My bad, King. I'm sorry.
King: I-it's ok don't worry. . . But there's something else.
Asgore: *Looks at King* Hm?
King: When I used my powers and then passed out. I felt. . . Something.
Asgore: Your powers?
King: Kind of? I don't know, I can't explain it. But it felt. . . Weird. Like something that wasn't supposed to happen, happened. . .
Asgore: That's concerning. We should Alphys take you to the lab to finish your check up, especially after tonight.
King: *Looks at Asgore in worry* A-are you sure? Because last time-
Asgore: Don't worry, King. This time, I'll be there to protect you all.
King: *Smiles* Ehehehe, ok. *King giggles lightly*
King looked at Asgore as both of them softly smiled, the cracking of the flames from the fireplace breathing a soft and reassuring breath of fresh air into the two of them.
Asgore: *Smiles* . . . Oh before I forget, I want to give you something.
King: Huh? *Pulls away from the hug*
Asgore: Hohoho, in case you haven't noticed, you're wearing one of your brother's sweaters.
King: *Eyes widen a bit and looks down, seeing Asriel's iconic lime-green sweater with 2 yellow stripes* O-oh, hehe.
Asgore chuckled softly before reaching over and down before pulling up a small, slightly rectangular, flat box and handing it to King.
King: What? *Grabs the box with both his hands* What is it?
Asgore: Open it. *Smiles slightly*
King proceeded to open the box, upon looking in, King stared in shocked silence. In the box resided a folded up red jacket with a dark gray hoodie and furry collar line. It has silvery zipper teeth, 2 laces with orange aglets. There were lime-green stripes that looped around the entire jacket. The green stripes were also seen on the sleeves on the shoulders and the elbow. There were also light-yellow stripes at the bottom of his jacket and on the cuff of the sleeves. All of the stripes looped around the jacket. As King pulled the jacket out of the box, he noticed another thing. As he pulled it out, he noticed it was a pair of dark-spacey blue sweat pants. It had the same green stripes for the pocket outlines and knees that looped around as well. Finally, on the back of the pants, right under the waist was a hole in the shape and position of King's tail.
King: *Stares in bewildered shock* H-huh?
Asgore: Hohoho, try them.
King proceeded to remove the sweater and place it on the couch. King now wore a white shirt only, before he threw the jacket over his head. Asgore then looked away as King removed his current pants and put his legs in the pants, the two clothes were perfect fits. King looked at the clothes as he twisted and turned to look at the clothes design.
Asgore: *Looks back and smiles* Like them?
King: I love them! *He exclaims in a whisper* They feel so comfy. I. . . I can't believe they sell clothes like these.
Asgore: Oh these weren't bought, those were made.
King: Oh. . . Hehe, thanks dad.
Asgore: O-oh. *Asgore stutters as King thanks him without him saying who made them* I-I-
King: Mom's been busy and it's only been a few days. I don't think she'd have time. But you would.
Asgore: *Staring at King as he breaks it all down* . . . Hoho, you catch onto things quickly.
That's right, Asgore was the one who made these clothes for King. While Toriel was thinking about buying King some of his own clothes, Asgore acted quicker. In his private time at his log cabin, while he may have not interacted much with him prior to now, Asgore wanted to make a good first impression on King. Thus, he created the clothes King now wears. King and Asgore then hugged again as King rested on Asgore's lap.
Asgore: Now, *Pulls away from the hug* Let's get some rest, King. And put this terrible night behind us. *About to stand up*
King: . . Can I. . Lay here and sleep with you?
Asgore: *Stops as he looks at King* Are you sure?
King: Yes, more than I'll ever be.
Asgore: *Smiles a small open-teethed smile* Well of course, King.
King: *Smiles as he lays on Asgore's lap* . . . Thank you, dad.
That one word. That single word. It hit Asgore like a brick. He's heard that word a lot from Frisk and Asriel. . But now, he heard it from a new voice. A new voice that considered him a father.
Asgore: . . *Smiles as he lays back a bit* You're welcome, son.
King and Asgore laid on the couch until the two drifted off to sleep, as the campfire cracked still.
Toriel: *On top of the stairs as she heard their entire conversation* . . . So you love him too. . . *Smiles* Asgore. *Looks away and softly exhales as she heads to her room to sleep as the house finally turns quiet*

As King and Asgore slept, the campfire's flames burned as much as they could, on it's last breath however. . Before it finally extinguished. . .
Sans: *Inhales as he wakes up, his eyes glowing blue as he sits up* . . . *Looks around before looking at Mt. Ebott in the window* . . . *Lays back down and tries to go back to sleep, but still worried* . . . What's happening. . .
Act 2 is here! And last time, King has shown us, with his new powers, he's more monster than human now. Saving the Lighttale family from the Kellers, Frisk's old family. . . But with the retreat of the Kellers, something new stirs.
Is all that was heard as the Dreemurr cars flew down the road. They were returning from the abandoned warehouse that the Kellers, Frisk's old family, had lured them in order to eliminate them and retake Frisk. They nearly succeeded too. . . But. . .
CLICK
Toriel: *Opens the door to the Dreemurr house* Ok, bring him to the couch, please.
Asgore: *Carrying the unconscious King and rushes to the couch as everyone else follows*
Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Frisk, and Asriel came barreling through the door. Papyrus shut and locked the door as Undyne pulled out her phone to report and open a case on the Kellers. Meanwhile, everyone else rushed to the couch and looked as King lay limp. Still unconscious after his final stand against the Kellers, and after displaying his monster physiology.
Toriel: *Using her green healing magic on King* He's fine physically, no injuries.
Alphys: But his magic reservoir. . . Even his magic category.
Papyrus: This monster can use skeleton magic. This means. . . WE HAVE A NEW BROTHER!!!! *Papyrus smiles happily as he bounces around* He has our powers, match for match!
Asriel: Wait, you can summon those blasters, Papyrus?
Papyrus: Nyeh heh heh, little Asgore! *Raises his gloved hand as a small basketball-sized Gaster Blaster appears, red eyes instead of white*
All of them stepped back in bewilderment as Papyrus, the innocent one of the skeletons, summoned something new to them all. . .
Toriel: W-woah!! *Toriel steps back in shock and fear*
Alphys: P-Papyrus?! Wh-what?!?! What are- How?!
Papyrus: Nyeh heh heh! Impressive, aren't they! *Closes his fist as the Gaster Blaster disappears*
Asgore: Could you do those all the time?
Papyrus: Why yes, I could! I just never did because it seemed too violent to use against humans.
As the others pressed Papyrus more on his display of the Gaster Blaster, Asriel tended to King. And Frisk. . .
Frisk: *About to walk over to Asriel and King*
Sans: *Teleports in front of Frisk* Hey kid, come here.
Frisk: Oh, Sans! What-
Sans: We need to talk. *He says as his pupils disappear and his eye sockets go dark*
Sans then proceeded to bring Frisk over to the dining table, away from the living room, where everyone else was. The lighting was only dim since the lights were off, but there was light from the living room and the campfire.
Frisk: S-Sans? What's wrong?
Sans: . . . Why didn't you do it, kid?
Frisk: What?
Sans: . . .
"Why didn't you Reset?"
That one word hit Frisk like a brick. Reset. To start back from Mt. Ebott. To start the adventure all over again. Where only she, Sans, and Flowey/Asriel knew. They all knew it had to come at the end of runs. Neutral, Genocide, even Pacifist. But yet, here they are now, 1 year later. . .
Sans: Kid?
Frisk: I. . .
Sans: I'm not mad. I'm just curious. . . This hasn't happened before. Sometimes you'll wait a few days or a week after. But this has been for a year.
Frisk: Y-yeah. . . *Scratches the back of her head in nervousness*
Sans: Frisk, Papyrus wasn't supposed to show that off. . . Even that monster isn't supposed to be here.
Frisk: I know! I know! I know Papyrus wasn't supposed to, even though he does have it! And King. . . I'm not sure where to start with him.
Sans: Why didn't you Reset?
Frisk: . . .
"Because I don't have it."
Sans immediately stopped pondering around and looked at Frisk as she pulled up her "game menu." All that appeared were her stats and her name. . . But the Reset button at the bottom left, gone. Leaving a blank and empty area on it. As well as the save and load buttons.
Sans: H-how?
Frisk: I'm not entirely sure either! I. . . *Exhales*
"It happened after leaving Mt. Ebott."
~~~~~~~~~~~
MOMENTS AFTER LEAVING THE UNDERGROUND
Frisk walked around in the park of Ebott City, humans and monsters walking and laughing. Frisk sat under a tree, all alone and isolated as much as she could out in the public.
Frisk: . . . *Exhales* It's perfect. . . But it can't be like this forever. *Opens her "game menu"* I'm sor-
Frisk stopped as she stared, her hand reaching out slightly. Her game menu's slightly transparent dark menu floating in front of her. . . But lacking 3 buttons.
Save. Load. Reset.
Frisk quickly conjured her soul, half of it still beating and glowing red, still intact perfectly. . .
Frisk: . . . I. . .
"I can't reset?!?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
PRESENT
Frisk: . . .
Sans: *Jaw hanging open a bit* What. . . What did you do, kid?
Frisk: Sans, I'm not sure. I'm not sure how it came to be. But the moment I gave Asriel part of my soul. . . It felt liberating in a way.
Sans: . . How?
Frisk: I can't describe it. Like something in me just snapped free.
Sans: Or something else intervened. *Peers back out to King*
Frisk: Sans! *Holds his hand and pulls him back* Even if he was a problem or the source, we can't risk it. If I can't Reset, there's no telling what'll happen.
Sans: . . . So what then? The Kellers? Papyrus' Blasters? King?
Frisk: That's just the start. With this happening for at least a year now, things are going to get shaky. . .
SLITHER
Frisk: My family?. . They're just the start.
SLITHER SLITHER
Frisk: . . . I don't know what's coming. . . But it can't be good.
Sans: . . . O-ok kid. We gotta find out what happened before things get worse. In the meantime, lets stay vigilant, ok?
Frisk: *Nods*
Sans: Good. . . Thanks, but you should've told me the moment it happened.
Frisk: I know. . . I'm sorry, Sans.
Sans: It's ok. *Turns to Frisk as the two hug* Let's still keep this a secret.
Frisk: Got it.
Frisk and Sans continued to hug, as the others tended to King and pondered around after what happened. They all stayed in the Dreemurr home in case the Kellers came back, which thankfully they didn't. They all then slept on sleep mattresses, the couch, and shared some beds.
Hiya everyone! So sorry to do this, but I’m gonna delay Act 2 of Lighttale to next week. We have a small vacation this weekend and I was hoping to fix up and polish a few things for Act 2, I’m sorry everyone.
Little reminder for everyone. With Chapter 10 of Lighttale and Act 1 finished, there will now be a week and a half of no Lighttale uploads until the following week. I hope you all have enjoyed Act 1 of Lighttale Season 1, we're only going forward!
Lighttale: What is Family

Chapter 10: Beginning of a Family,
The sun had started setting, causing the sky to turn orange as it reflected it’s bright rays off of the water that raced across the waves. Those rays in turn reflected into the van that the Dreemurr family were in, as they raced down and followed the road down to the abandoned docks on the far outskirts of Ebott. They had no reason to trust if Amelia was telling the truth last time, but they had no other choice.
A few moments passed by before they found themselves, forests to the right, the cliffs of the ocean to the left. There weren’t any cars that passed or were following them down this road. Speaking of, the road was more cracked and unkept, unlike the other roads in Ebott. These roads haven’t been taken care of in ages. The family bumped around in their seats as they followed the road, all of them silent in anticipation. Eventually, leading them to a gated off area, with a single destroyed post blocking them from the parking lot. . . Though, the lot was empty.
Toriel: Is this the place?
Undyne: It has to be, there’s no other docks up here.
All of them got out of the car, parking to the side as they approached and entered the area. The streetlights that once stood were gone, some slumped over on the lot. The concrete docks themselves had nature retaking it’s land above, and the water and moss chipping away at it from the bottom. They looked and saw a few large warehouses, 3 to be exact. Some of them having holes, but they all were being touched by nature’s vines.
Asgore: Which one are they in?
Alphys: I have no idea.
Papyrus: I say we split up and check them all in groups!
Undyne: Paps, that’s. . . Actually not a bad idea.
Papyrus: *Smiles as he turns to Undyne, a big smile and thumbs up* Thank you, Undyne! *He winks as a star blinks from his eye, anime-style*
Undyne: (Where the fuck did that star come from?)
King: . . What about me?
Toriel: Right, King. King stay out here, Sans with him.
Sans: Gotcha.
Toriel: Asgore, you’re with me to check that warehouse to the far left.
Asgore: Ok, Toriel.
Undyne: Papyrus, Al. Let’s check that middle one.
Alphys: O-ok.
Papyrus: You got it!
Undyne: If we find the kids, we get them and get the hell out of here. I can report the Kellers when we come back from here. If they aren’t in the warehouses we check, we get out and explore that last one on the far right.
Papyrus: Okie dokie.
Toriel: *Turns back* And Sans. . . Please keep King safe.
Sans: I will Tori, don’t worry.
Toriel: *Nods* Let's go. *Toriel says as she and the others start walking towards their warehouses*
Sans and King watched as the rest of the adults made slight haste for their corresponding warehouses.
King: *Watches*
Sans: Hey kid.
King: *Turns around and sees Sans had made a seating area for him made of bones* Oh, thanks. *Walks over and sits down as Sans leans on the bones* Sans?
Sans: Sup?
King: . . . You think they’ll be ok?
Sans: They better be. . .
King: Yeah. . . Me too. *King says as he clenches his arm tight. . .*
.
.
.
“Frisk? Asriel?”
Toriel shouted into the abyss as she and Asgore roamed the dark and hollow warehouse, both of them using their fire magic to illuminate their nearby surroundings.
Toriel: *Looking around*
Asgore: Toriel. . . Listen, maybe it was my fault.
Toriel: Hm? Asgore?
Asgore: I should’ve stayed with the kids. If it wasn’t for me, then-
Toriel: No. . . It wasn’t. . Mostly anyways.
Asgore: Hm?
Toriel: King was right, I did know about your conference. I just thought the kids would be safe. They usually are, this is all my fault for this.
Asgore: Don’t kid yourself, Toriel. You asked me us all to take them, I was just the only one who was able to. None of us could’ve known this was going to happen.
Toriel: I did. . . The Kellers came to our house a few days ago and threatened to take Frisk back by force. I just didn’t expect them to take things this far.
Asgore: Oh. . . Well, Toriel. *Puts a hand on her shoulder*
Toriel: *Turns around and looks at Asgore*
Asgore: This isn’t your fault. We couldn’t have known they’d resort to this. We’ll find the kids, and Undyne will deal with them afterwards.
Toriel: *Looks at Asgore. . . Then slightly smiles* Yeah. . . Thank you Asgore.
Asgore: *Nods*
Toriel and Asgore trekked deeper into the warehouse, the visibility getting harder as night started to approach. Both of them shouting into the darkness, but nothing responds. . .
Asgore: *Splits off for a bit from Toriel as he looks in a few large boxes on some of the tall scaffolding*
Toriel: *Continues forward. . .* Hm?
Asgore: *Digs into the boxes, moving some leftover packaging paper and debris as he tries to see if there’s anything* Huh, nothing. *Turns back around. . . Only to see Toriel’s fire magic gone* Hm? Toriel?
Huh? But he was just with her a few moments ago! Asgore looked around the entire warehouse, back tracking a bit before heading deeper into the warehouse. There was no light however, at least, no orange tint that came from fire magic.
Asgore: Toriel?! Where’d you go?
FWOOSH
Asgore heard something as he looked to his left. Where he saw a flame in the distance dancing around in the darkness.
Asgore: Oh, there you are Toriel! *Walking over*
Asgore continued forward and towards the flame, but was unable to see Toriel’s silhouette as the flame got smaller, indicating she was moving away still.
Asgore: Toriel? Hang on. Wait for me! *He says as he notices the flame finally stopping* Oh, thank you. For a second there, I thought something happened or you left me. Why did you turn off your fire magic in the first pla-
“MHMPH!”
As Asgore got 2 ft (0.61 m) away from the flame, he heard something. It came from his right. He looked over, but still couldn’t see anything. So he threw his fire magic over, which got close to the wall before stopping. . . Allowing him to see Toriel, tied up, tape over her mouth. . . And a magic disabler around her waist.
Toriel: MMPPHH!!!
Asgore: T-Toriel?!?! *Asgore says in shock*
Just then, the flame he was following earlier sparked before Asgore felt something grab the collar of his shirt and pull him in. . . Then flames resparked around a fist. . . A human fist.
Amelia: Hello there, “King of Mt. Ebott.” *Amelia says with an evil smile*
WHACK
THUD
.
.
.
“Nyeh. . . Nyeh. . . Why is this place so big!”
Papyrus heaved as he followed Undyne, who led the charge deep into the far left warehouse.
Undyne: Sorry Papyrus, but Frisk and Asriel could be in real danger right now. We have to find them.
Undyne held her spear as it was the only thing still giving off light around them. Papyrus was faintly in that light, but Undyne used it as a walking stick as she held Alphys with her other hand, who was exhausted from searching.
Papyrus: R-right.
Alphys: *Looking around as she struggles to see anything, but does notice a few doors along the wall* Hey! Over there! *Points*
Undyne and Papyrus looked over before heading over. There were 2 doors that were against the wall. They walked over as Undyne put Alphys down.
Undyne: Lets check them together one by one. *She says as she walks over to the far left door*
Undyne turned the door knock as the creaked open, revealing it to be a small office area. With a desk back and to the left, as shelves of papers and books were against the wall, some of them right next to the door itself.
Undyne: Hm, nothing. . . *Walks deeper with Papyrus following as Alphys stays by the door looking at the shelves*
Alphys: *Kneels down to some of the papers on the lower shelves and tries to read them* Hm. . . *Tenses up*
Papyrus: *Looking under the desk* Nyeh, nothing.
Undyne: It was worth a shot, Papy. *Walks to the back of the room and feels around the wall before feeling something metallic* Huh? *Feels around, only for it to feel like a panel for a the breaker* Hey! I found the breaker! Hey, Al? Think you can get this thing working so we can see?
Papyrus: *Walks over to Undyne* Ah don’t worry. I, the Great Papyrus has this cover. *Cracks his knuckles and stretches. . . Before flicking and pressing everything possible over and over on the breaker*
Undyne: Pft, I like the way you think Paps. . . Though that probably means it ain’t working. Come on, Al. You good-
As Undyne and Papyrus turned around. . . They saw Alphys standing in front of them, the door open still. . . And a light blue thing around her waist.
Alphys: U-Undyne?
Undyne and Papyrus: Al?/Dr. Alphys?
Just then, the rope yanked and pulled Alphys out of the room as she yelped and screamed.
Alphys: AHHH!!!!! *Reaches out for anything as she’s pulled out of the room and to the left*
Papyrus: ALPHYS!!! *Runs after*
Undyne: PAPYRUS! WAIT! *Runs after him*
Papyrus turned the corner, away from Undyne’s vision, still chasing. As Undyne turned the corner, she saw Papyrus turn the corner and leap into the other door that was adjacent to the other room they were in. The door closed behind him as he leaped in, with Undyne running after.
Papyrus: Alright you weird and bizarre thing! Let go of Dr. Alphys right. . . Nyeh? NYEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! *Papyrus says before screaming, all of it muffled as the door is closed*
Undyne: PAPYRUS!!!!! *Undyne screams as she reaches the other door, stops, and kicks the door down*
When Undyne kicked the door down, she stood there, spear pointing forward. . . But nothing. Nothing. No Alphys. No Papyrus. Not even the light blue thing that took Alphys.
Undyne: *Stays defensive as she looks in and narrows her eyes. . . Allowing her to see a tall figure in the darkness, standing there, hands behind its back* Whatever you’re doing, it’s not gonna work. Come with me now, and I will try to lighten your sentence when we take you!
To Undyne’s surprise, the figure did start moving. . . But then it took it’s hands out from its back, revealing a pair of light blue chains attached to it’s palm. . . Patience chains.
Suddenly, Undyne heard a rubble before a pair of Patience chains emerge from the ground behind her and clamp onto her wrists.
Undyne: NGH! *Fights against the chains as she tries kicking and tugging at them*
Undyne struggled all she could, but to no avail. The Patience chains eventually pulled her down to the ground before more emerged and wrapped around her body, she squirmed and wiggled. Just then, she felt something wrap around her waist before she could feel her magic starting to nullify. A Patience string then hovered over her face as the figure emerged from the room and looked down at her. . .
Gerald: You’re time is over, “officer.” *Wraps the Patience string around Undyne’s eyes*
.
.
.
A FEW MOMENTS LATER
King and Sans waited, still sitting as they looked around. The sun had started setting and the night sky was starting to take effect, with the stars twinkling in the air.
King: . . . They’ve been in there for a while, where are they?
Sans: I. . . I actually have no idea kiddo.
King: I hope they didn’t get hurt. And that they’re ok.
Sans: Heh, you’re really caring, you know that?
King: Of course, they’ve given me a second chance at being with a family. You all have. I can’t have that without you all.
Sans: Heh, I guess that’s right.
Sans and King went back to looking at the warehouses and waiting. And waiting. . . And waiting.
Sans: *Sighs* Where are they?
King: *Looks down briefly before turning to the 3rd warehouse that the others didn’t go in*
Unlike the other warehouses, where their doors were sealed shut, this one was slightly open. King glanced over at the last warehouse, not expecting anything. . .But what he did see shocked him to his core. . . Fergo Keller, faintly in the darkness, watching them. But the moment King locked eyes with him, Fergo stepped back into the darkness again.
King: H-HUH?!?! *Stands up*
Sans: Kid?
King: I SAW ONE OF THEM!!! *Runs towards the 3rd warehouse*
Sans: Hey! King! Wait! *Runs after him*
King ran faster than he ever could’ve imagined as he entered the 3rd warehouse, Sans following after him.
Sans: Kid, you can’t just take off like that!
King: I saw him! Fergo! The brother to Frisk!
Sans: Wut.
King: Fergo!!! I saw you!!! Come out!!!
. . .
“What are you doing here?”
King and Sans’ eyes widened as they looked around, the moonlight barely giving off any visibility inside, as the two of them lingered by the front door. And as they stood and looked around, they heard him. Fergo’s voice within the darkness.
King: I’m here for my siblings!
Fergo: We asked for only the other 6. . . But if you wanted to come too, that’s fine. Makes things all the better for us!
King: Where are they?! Frisk?! Asriel?!
Fergo: Why do you want them?! They aren’t your real siblings anyway!
King: They are now! Frisk isn’t you sister anymore! And Asriel has nothing to do with this! Leave him out of this!
Fergo: It became our issue when you all got free!
King: I don’t care! Give her back!
Fergo: . . . If you want her back-
CLAP
Just then, the lights to this warehouse turned on. The door shut behind them as Patience strings held them shut. Fergo and Amelia stood in the center, 10 ft (3.05 m) away from them. . . With Frisk and Asriel tied to their chairs behind them, and 6 large glass boxes behind them. 5 of them containing the 5 other adults, not tied up, but still having the magic disablers on them.
King: FRISK! ASRIEL!
Sans: Huh?! GUYS?!
Frisk: No! Let them go!
Amelia: Shush sweetie, mommy and your brother have some nuisances to deal with.
Sans: *Glares as his left eye starts to glow blue* Listen, I don’t want to do this. But just let them go.
King: S-Sans?
Asriel: SANS! LOOK OUT-
THWIP
From above, a light blue Patience string shot out and wrapped a magic disabler around Sans’ arm before another Patience string grabbed his other arm and pulled him to the ground and to the side.
Sans: NGH!! H-huh?!
King: Sans!!!
Amelia: Look at you all. So confident in your powers. *Looks up*
Gerald: *Atop some of the metal rods that hold the ceiling up, hanging by Patience strings as he uses them to land safely down and next to Fergo’s left as Amelia stands to the right of Fergo* Now, *Shoots a string out to Sans, to grab him and put him in the last glass box*
King: NO!!! *Runs after him. . . As his hand starts to spark again* SANS!!!!
Before the Patience string could wrap around Sans, King ran to Sans. . . Before his hand and eyes started glowing yellow again. . . But this time,
King: *Summons a bone in his right hand before slicing the Patience string holding Sans as he tackles him to the ground, narrowly avoiding the other string that Gerald shot out* NGH!
Sans: K-kid?
Adults and Kids: What?!
Amelia: Uhh, what?!
King: *Gets up from Sans as he looks at his hand and the bone in his hand again* H-huh?!
Sans: Ngh, thanks kid.
King: *Stands up and looks at the bone before feeling his eye and hand again* I-it happened again?
Fergo: So pathetic. You used your powers once already, and you didn’t even know how or what happened. And again? . . . You know what. *Steps forward* Do it!
King: *Looks at Fergo* What?
Fergo: Hit me. Throw a bone at me. Or use that “blue magic” you first did!
King: *Looks at Fergo as his heart starts to pound* I. . . I. . .
Fergo: *Steps towards King* Come on! Do it you monster! I’m right here!
King: *Starts breathing heavily*
Frisk: FERGO STOP!!!!
Asriel: LEAVE HIM BE!!! ANYONE BUT HIM!!!!
Fergo: Shut up!!! *Looks back at King* Come on!! I’m right here!
King: *Breathing heavily*
Fergo: You can’t. . . You know why?
King: . . . W-why? *King says in the verge of tears*
Fergo: *His eyes glow. . . Red. . . Before summoning a DT Sword, pointing the tip under King’s chin and raises it up so King is looking at him* Because. . . You’re a waste attempt at a monster.
Everyone stood and stared in shock. . . Frisk’s twin brother, Fergo. Had a Determination Soul. Meaning he could use Determination magic. . . Frisk wasn’t the only one with the Soul of Determination.
Undyne: Wh-what?!?!
Toriel: A Soul of Determination!
Fergo: . . . No. *Turns back to look at Frisk* It’s not anymore.
Alphys: Wh-what?
Fergo: *Snaps his soul’s projection above his hand, revealing a Determination Soul, but with a darker red tinted center*
Asriel: Wh-what’s wrong with your soul?!
Fergo: Ever since Frisk left us years ago, you have no clue how much it’s affected us. You clearly never even once battered an eye about us! You may be having a fun time, but you left us in the dust! . . . You sis. You were the only thing keeping me determined. Determined to continue. The moment you left us and decided to leave us. . . It caused my soul to wane and loosen the trait it once was. This isn’t a Soul of Determination. . .
“But the Soul of Vacillation.”
The Undertale family looked at Fergo in shock, they couldn’t believe their eyes and ears. A soul loosening and waning from its original state. It’s never even been heard of in the year that they’ve all been free, yet here they are, looking at one.
Toriel: Th-that’s impossible!
Amelia: Well it isn’t! And you can blame your “daughter” for that, tch.
King: N-no.
Fergo: *Looks back at King*
King: *Tenses up as he stays incredibly still, sobbing. The words Fergo said to him echoing over and over*
“You’re a waste attempt at a monster.”
King: *Breathes heavily*
“You weren’t a good human, you’re even worse as a monster.”
King: *His eyes start to spin and shake as he starts hyperventilating*
Fergo: . . . *Pulls his sword back before kicking King in the chest, causing him to drag against the ground*
King: NGH!
Frisk and Asriel: KING!!!
Adults (Minus Sans): *Bang on the glass frantically*
Fergo: You’re not good enough to be her sister! You monsters have caused us nothing but trouble! Ever since the war! You should be on our side, “King.” Look what they made you into. What you’ve forgotten. But now you side with them?
King: . . .
Fergo: You’re old family and experimenters were right to abandon you. You’re nothing more than an anomaly. A failed life. . .
King was on his knees as he looked at the ground. Tears were flooding down his face as he clenched onto the ground. The words tearing him apart one by one. He closed his eyes tightly.
King: . . . I, *He whispers under his breath* I-I. . . I-
“He’s not!”
The Kellers and King looked up as Frisk shouted in her chair.
Frisk: He’s not! He’s a great person! A strong person! He’s the new and reinvigorated glue that this family needed! King gave us another opportunity for our family to thrive! To raise someone who was never cared for! He’s not just a human. He’s not just a monster. . .
“He’s just. . . King.”
King: . . . F-Frisk. . .
Fergo: You think you know him best, Frisk?!
Frisk: Better than you.
Fergo: *Points his Vacillation Sword at her* And I know you better than him.
Adults and Asriel: FRISK!!!!
Frisk: . . . No you don’t.
Fergo: *Growls before raising his sword*
Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel: NO!!!!!!! STOPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
King: *Stares as he reaches out. . .*
. . .
. . .
. .
. .
.
.
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
THUMP THUMP
FWOOSH
A sudden gust of wind blew across the place, as the lights dangled in the air. The Kellers shielded their faces and looked back, as King now stood up before them.
King: Don’t. *Puts his hand out, his eyes and hand both glowing ever brighter with yellow flames* You. *He then closes his eyes. . . Before opening them. . . As a MASSIVE Boulder-Sized Gaster Blaster appears in the air, his mouth filled with sharp teeth as it looks down at the Kellers with its yellow eyes, with 12 bones around the blaster and 2 smaller Basketball-sized Gaster Blasters to its side, down a bit* DARE!!!!!!!! *Points at the Kellers as the bones fly towards them*
The 12 bones spun and aimed at the Kellers before flying at them, all of them dodged out of the way as the bones impacted the ground. One of the Basketball-sized Gaster Blasters flew over, and opened its mouth, charging a yellow glow in it before firing at Amelia. Amelia aimed her hands and fired Bravery flames at the ray, both of them in a ray lock. Then, Patience strings wrapped around the mouth of it before slamming it down onto the ground.
Amelia: You said he didn’t know how to use his powers!!!
Gerald: He doesn’t!!!
Fergo: Use the disabler!!! Quick!!!
Gerald nodded before aiming his palm at King, the magic disabler on his palm before he shot out a Patience string at King, with the disabler attached to it. King put his hand out. . . And clenched it, a blue aura appeared around the string before he threw his hand down and forced the string to slam against the ground.
Gerald: What?!
Sans: Kid? H-how?
King then used blue magic on the disabler and threw it onto Amelia, wrapping it around her wrist before disabling her powers.
Amelia: NGH!
Gerald: Amelia! *About to disable the effect*
Amelia: No!!! If you do that, they’ll have their powers back!
Gerald: But what about-
FWYOOM
Gerald and Amelia’s eyes widened as a massive yellow glow appeared at their side. They looked and saw the massive boulder-sized Gaster Blaster, mouth open, and charging a yellow ray in it’s mouth. Fergo jumped in front before putting up his DT shield as the ray fired. The Kellers tried pushing back on the shield, but the blow back was still affecting them.
King: *Arm out as he continues firing, fingers curved and hand aimed at the Kellers* I’m done. Listening to you! You’re right! I was an experiment. A monster. I don’t know who I was! But it doesn’t matter! Because now I have a new family, that’s here to support me! Here to help me through these times! Here until the very end! *Clenches his fist*
In an instant, the ray from the Gaster Blaster stopped, but the Kellers felt their souls being affected by the blue magic, they were hoisted into the air before King slammed them onto the front door of the warehouse. He then summoned a large array of bones to follow after them, the bones destroyed the front door, and narrowly missed the Kellers, but still did cut them.
Amelia: *Coughing*
Gerald: Are you two ok? Are you hurt?
Amelia: I’m fine.
Fergo: Ow. *Holding a cut on his arm*
Gerald: Fergo! *Looks back at King who’s standing there at the front door*
King: No longer will I be shadowed and seen as a failure or an experiment. I’m not a failed life. I am King. And this is my family. We are a family! Whether you want it or not.
Fergo: *Growls as he summons his DT Sword and is about to rush at King before Gerald stops him* H-huh? Dad?
Gerald: I’m out of the disablers. And this is something I didn’t see coming. . . We have to leave.
Fergo: But Frisk-
Amelia: Fergo. . . Another time.
Fergo: *Looks at his two parents then at King and the Dreemurrs and growls* We’ll be back. We will have revenge. . . You be ready! *Fergo shouts as him and his parents run into a garage by the docks, before pulling away in their car*
King watched them take off, Sans looked at King before he felt the disabler’s effect turn off, he quickly removed it. The other adults felt it as well. Using their magic, they broke free from the reinforced glass boxes and quickly rushed to Frisk and Asriel, quickly untying them.
Toriel and Asgore: Frisk!/Asriel! *The two goat parents exhale in relief as they hug them*
Frisk and Asriel: Mom. Dad. *Hugging them back tightly*
Toriel: Are you two ok? Are you hurt?
Frisk: I’m fine. Azzy?
Asriel: I’m ok.
Asgore: That’s good! It’s a miracle.
Undyne: . . . *Steps past them* Is. . . He ok?
All of them looked over as King was still standing there, staring out at where the Kellers fled, his flames still pulsing. King’s flames then sparked as he stumbled back.
King: NGh! *Stumbles a bit and clenches his eye*
Frisk: King! *Reaches out*
King: . . . *Looks back at them all, then smiles* A-are you all. . . Ok? *King says, before the flames in his eyes and hand disappear, and King collapses to the floor, fainting*

Lighttale: What is Family
Chapter 9: What's to come,
9/19/2016, Monday.
While Alphys rallied the rest of the adults to the lab to discuss their next course of action, we learned where the Keller family's disdain for the monsters came from. Frisk's grandfather, Ivor incited hatred for the monsters in the family, but Frisk refused to believe it. Now, years later, the Keller family make a vow to eliminate the Dreemurr family, using Frisk and Asriel as bait.

"Nghmhm!"
Frisk finally woke up, groggily albeit. She closed her eyes for a bit as there was a blinding white light that allowed her to see, but aside from that. . . Nothing but darkness all around her. She tried to move, but couldn't. When she looked she found that she had been tied to a chair, her arms at her side, and her legs tied to the legs of the chairs. She squirmed as the chair hopped around, but nothing helped. She looked up and saw a hanging light high up, and above it, very faintly she could distinguish the support beams. Support beams that were similar to that of a warehouse.
Frisk: Ngh! Come on!
"Mhm, F-Frisk?"
Frisk's eyes widened as she heard a voice echo in the apparently large room. She turned around as much as she could. When she did, she saw Asriel, also tied in the same position as her, the two of them and their chairs back to back as a single light illuminated them in the middle of this hallow void.
Frisk: Asriel! Oh thank Asgore you're ok!
Asriel: Y-yeah. *Looks around* Where are we?
Frisk: I don't know. The last thing I remember was being in the lab. Then-
CREAK
The two of them look to their side. Frisk to her left and Asriel to his right as they saw a faint light in the shape of a doorway. Then a silhouette stood in the light before the door closed. Then, the two Dreemurrs heard footsteps echoing, stepping closer and closer.
Frisk: Hello?! Who's there?! Please let us go! *Squirming*
"No. Not yet at least."
Frisk's eyes widened as she heard the voice. Just in time for her fraternal twin brother to step into the light.
Fergo: Hello, sis.
Frisk: Not again. I'm not your sister! Not anymore!
Fergo: Oh, but you will be after this.
Asriel: Wh-what do you mean?
Fergo: Quiet, monster. Dad will deal with you later.
Asriel: . . D-deal how? *Asriel asks nervously, a quiver in his voice*
Frisk: Let him go! He didn't do anything wrong!
Fergo: I heard everything, I know exactly everything he did wrong! But. . . He stole you from me! He's not your brother! I am!
Frisk: Shut up, Fergo! Let us go!
"That's no way to talk to your brother!"
Frisk and Asriel quickly whipped their heads in the opposite direction of where they looked, where they found Amelia standing against a wall, watching the interaction between them ever since Frisk woke up.
Amelia: Come on, daughter. You should speak with Fergo with respect. He is your twin brother after all.
Frisk: I remember now. You and Gerald are behind this! But why?!
Fergo: To get you back! You're our family, not theirs! We did promise back then we'd take you back, sis!
Amelia: As much as a nuisance you caused back then. Fergo did miss you when you left us for Mt. Ebott. And now you're back? And refusing to give him happiness? How could you!
Frisk: Because of what you're doing! This is all wrong! Look at you right now! Kidnapping us! And grandpa Ivor was wrong! Monsters aren't evil! Look at all the good we've done for the city!
Fergo: And the bad you gave countless families! Those bullies at school hated you for freeing the monsters. You know our hatred for the monsters. I'd like to think that there are others out there that are just hiding their hatred for the monsters. . . Maybe King even hates them-
Frisk: Don't say that! King loves them as much as I love them!
Fergo: Sis. . . You don't even know him.
Frisk: Neither do you!
Asriel: *Looks as Amelia and Fergo are in a heated debate with Frisk as he raises his hands and starts focusing on conjuring fire magic. . . But nothing comes out* H-huh? *Asriel whispers under his breath as he tries again, but nothing happens* What? Wh-why? I can't feel any-
"Magic?"
Asriel looked ahead and saw Gerald stepping in. He had a big smug smile on his face as he looked down at Asriel, hands behind his back.
Asriel: You!
Gerald: You can't use your magic here. Neither of you can.
Frisk and Asriel looked at Gerald before looking around and noticing a white strap wrapped around their waists. Both of them tensed, they knew what it was.
Asriel: A magic disabler?!
Gerald: That's why we waited so long. We knew this kind of tech would exist eventually, it was only a matter of time.
So that's why the Kellers chose now to strike. Remember, Ebott has made astronomical advances in technology, as demonstrated in the Ebott Lab. However, that isn't to say that's the only lab doing the experimenting. Other labs scattered around Ebott have developed technology that can disable the magic of both human and monster magics. The more common form is a strap that wraps around the human or monster, it doesn't matter where it's placed. But once it's wrapped around, it can be controlled remotely to disable or re-enable the magic of the person wearing it. Frisk and Asriel both looked as Gerald held the remote in his hand, before storing it in one of his inside coat pockets.
Frisk: This isn't normal!
Gerald: Maybe not. . . But only for now.
Asriel: Wh-what do you mean?
Fergo: We can never truly have you back, Frisk. So as long as that fake family of your's exists.
Gerald: So, using you lot as bait, we're going to lure those monsters here. . . Then get rid of them one by one.
Frisk and Asriel: *Eyes widen again* N-NO!!!!
Fergo: You don't have a choice, and when they're gone and out of the way. We're going home finally, Frisk.
Gerald: Let's go. *Walk with Amelia and Fergo to the doorway they came from as Frisk and Asriel squirm in their bindings, trying to free themselves, but can't* Amelia hon, send it.
Amelia: Already did, put it in when we left the lab.
Gerald: Perfect. Fergo, stay with them. . . Me and your mother will handle them.
Fergo: Yes, father.
Fergo then stood by in the same room as Frisk and Asriel while Gerald and Amelia left the room, closing it behind them into the rest of the warehouse they were in.
Frisk and Asriel: *Squirming, trying to get free*
Fergo: Don't worry sis. . . This'll all be over soon. . . Mwahaha! *Fergo laughs and smiles. . . Evilly*
MEANWHILE
Back at the lab, the lockdown had been lifted as things were back to normal. . . Mostly. Police cars swarmed the place as officers investigated the area, mostly called by Undyne. Speaking of, her and the rest of the adults had arrived at the lab. Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, and Asgore all arrived at quick notice upon reaching Undyne's message that she got from Alphys. All of them walked over to Alphys' room, where they found her door wide open. Upon peering inside, they saw Alphys sitting on a chair, next to a bed, where King was sitting up on the bed, looking down.
Undyne: Alphys? *Undyne says as she walks in, lightly knocking on the wall next to her*
Alphys: *Looks up and see Undyne* Undyne! Oh thank you for coming! *Runs over and hugs her*
The fish and lizard monsters both embraced each other as Sans and Papyrus watched. Meanwhile, Toriel rushed over to King as she hugged him.
Toriel: *Scoops King in her arms as she hugs him* Oh thank the gods, you're still here King! *Pulls away and looks at him* Are you hurt?! Are you ok? Are you breathing normally? Are you-
King: I-I'm fine. . M-mom.
Toriel: *Exhales in relief* Ok good.
Asgore: I'm glad to hear that, King.
King: Yeah. . . But Frisk. And Asriel. . . *Sobs before he grabs onto his clothes tightly*
Toriel: Hey hey! It wasn't your fault! *Walks over and pats King on the back*
King: Yes it was! I saw them! Ran at them. I could've done something! Anything to save them. . . But I just laid there, frozen. . . And cried.
Toriel: King-
Asgore: King, you're still young. And you don't know how to entirely control your magic. Please, it wasn't your fault.
Toriel: *Looks at Asgore* Why didn't you stay with them for a bit longer?! You could've waited Asgore!
Asgore: M-me?
Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys: *Look over*
Toriel: If you had stayed a bit longer to watch the kids, they'd-
"Stop!!"
Toriel and Asgore: *Look at King. . . As he's the one who shouted*
King: It wasn't his fault! You knew he had a conference to go to at such short notice! He didn't do anything wrong this time, mom!
Toriel: King! You don't-
King: He's a nice person! But you only see the bad in him when you see him face-to-face! He didn't do anything wrong! . . . But if I had-
Asgore: King, stop. You couldn't have done anything. Please, don't blame yourself.
Undyne: Did you see who did it at least?
Alphys: It was a family of 3. A mom, dad, and son.
King: I know. . . *Looks at Toriel and Undyne* Mom. Miss Undyne. . . It was them. Frisk's old family, the Kellers.
Toriel and Undyne: *Eyes widen before looking at each other*
King: Amelia walked up to me. She stopped me from saving Frisk. . . And. . . And told me I was a failed life. . .
Sans: Hey! Kid!
Papyrus: Fellow skeleton, King! You aren't!
King: But I don't even remember my old name. Or the people who held me in the old lab! I don't know what's happening to me! I don't know how I used my magic! . . . And now I couldn't save Frisk and Asriel. They were kidnapped because of a checkup on me. . . How is that not my fault? Maybe she was right, maybe I am a failed life.
Toriel: *Holds King's shoulders as she looks at him, deep into his eyes* King. Son. Look at me. You are not. This wasn't your fault. None of this was. Maybe. . . Maybe this was fate.
King: Huh?
Asgore: You gave Toriel, Frisk, and Asriel someone new to love. After a year of being up here, we have a new one to call our son.
Alphys: I may have to check on you, but I've really enjoyed our times together, King.
Papyrus: It is nice to meet another fellow skeleton that isn't my brother! So it was a delight to meet you, King! Nyeh heh heh! Get complimented by the Grreaat Papyrus!
Sans: Yeah kid, you changed the lives of Tori and the kiddos. You are an interesting one. . . But nonetheless, it's nice to have you around.
Undyne: Heh, and besides think of it. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known who took those pipsqueaks.
King looked at all of the adults as they smiled and looked at King, prompting King to smile slightly as well, but the feeling still residing within him.
Toriel: *Looks at Undyne* So, we know who took them. Can't you send your peers to arrest them?
Undyne: I can't. With their license plate covered, we only have the description to go off of. And getting the surveillance could take a couple days to see their last location.
Asgore: There has to be something we can do!
King: *Watching them all, before noticing something off, taped to the wall of Alphys' room that wasn't there before* Hey, look! *Points*
All of the adults looked and King and then followed his gaze. They saw a paper, taped to the wall that definitely wasn't Alphys' handwriting. The paper was written in a big red marker with the text as big as they can be. . .
"You want your kids back? Come to the Abandoned Docks up North, only you 6."
All of the adults looked before pulling the paper off and flipping it around to see if there was anything on the back, nothing. They flipped it back and read it again.
Alphys: I didn't put that there!
King: Mrs. Amelia must've put it on when we left your room, Dr. Alphys. You never shut the door when we left.
Alphys: True.
Sans: It's a trap.
Undyne: But Frisk and Asriel could be there. And without any leads for now, this is our only shot.
Toriel: Abandoned Docks?
Undyne: An old docks out up North. It was abandoned ever since we were freed a year ago.
Asgore: Only us 6. . . But what about King?
Toriel: He's coming with us. We have no one to watch him now with them wanting us 6.
Papyrus: Is that a good idea, Lady Asgore?
Toriel: No. . . But there's nothing else we can do. . .
King: I'll just. . Stay in the car. You can handle it yourselves. Right?
Undyne: *Smiles before summoning her spear and hitting the bottom of it against the ground* Heck yeah!
Alphys: *Looks at the ground, slightly cracked* Undyne, please don't do that next time. . .
Undyne: Oh, sorry babe! Fwahaha~!!
Toriel: *Looks at the note* . . . Let's go get our children back. *She says she trashes the note and all of them leave the lab, hopping into the large purple van they all arrived in on and heading for the same Abandoned Docks that the Kellers were in*
. . .
King: *In the backseat as he looks out, seeing the sun starting to set* . . . (Something feels off. Like. . . Something more is about to happen. . . What's this feeling?)
While King was being experimented on, Frisk and Asriel were jumped and kidnapped by Gerald and Amelia Keller, Frisk's old family. King tried to confront them, but Amelia got to his head first. . . Now they're gone, and King is left to contemplate once again. . . Why him.
Alphys exhaled in defeat, unable to get the license plate as it was covered. She banged her fist lightly on the wall as she retreated back in looking down and feeling like this was her fault. But then she looked up at King, still on the floor. . . And on the brink of a meltdown.
Alphys: K-King?
King: *Looking down at the floor as his pupils dilate and shake* I'm not a failed life. I'm not a failed life. I'm not a failed life.
Alphys: *Runs over and kneels next to him* Hey, hey! Are you ok?
King: I. . . I-I. . .
Alphys: What did she say to you? Whatever it was, I'm sure it wasn't true! King!
King: . . . I couldn't save them. I couldn't save her. . A-am I?
Alphys: King, you don't even know how your powers are functioning, please.
King: . . . *Looks up at Alphys, tears flooding as he shakes frantically* Am I a failed life? *King says. . . Before his eyes droop and he falls to the floor, fainting*
Alphys: No no! King! KING!!! *Shakes him a few times worryingly* KING WAKE UP!!! *She screams and begs, only for King to be unresponsive* NURSE!!! SOMEONE!!! HELP!!! *Alphys calls out as she hears footsteps coming*
A few nurses came around the corner, and Alphys asked them to help King. They picked him up carefully as Alphys quickly inputted numbers onto her phone, accidentally typing wrong numbers occasionally before she put in the number she wanted.
Alphys: *Puts the phone to her ear as she ponders in nervousness* Come on, come on! Babe, pick up!
Undyne: *On the other end of the call* Hey babe! What's up-
Alphys: Undyne! I need you here, now!! Bring the others!
Undyne: Woah woah babe! Calm down, what happened-
Alphys: There was a kidnapping! . . . Frisk and Asriel were taken.
Undyne: WH-WHAT?!?!?! *Undyne screams into the line as Alphys pulls her phone back a bit*
Alphys: And King. . . He passed out. He thinks this is his fault!
Undyne: What- How- . . . I'll be right there! I'll alert the others!
Alphys: Thank you, Undyne. I'll see you soon!
Undyne: Stay safe babe.
Alphys: I will, thank you! *Hangs up as she quickly follows after the nurses to tend to King*
Alphys breathed heavily but was able to stay composed. Meanwhile, Undyne called the rest. Sans, Papyrus, and of course, Toriel, and Asgore, who were in hysterics as they screamed for answers. All of them did agree to rendezvous at the lab to understand what was happening, and to make sure King was ok, as he was still out cold. . .
MEANWHILE
. . .
VROOM
That's all that was heard from the outside as the car of the Keller family zoomed across the road, zooming down the coast in an isolated road, with barely, if any cars in sight at all.
Gerald: *Driving as he looks at the road*
Amelia: *Looks in the back seat*
Fergo: *Watching the two unconscious Dreemurr siblings, watching his twin sister lay back* . . . I missed you sis. We can finally be together again.
Amelia: That was easier than expected.
Gerald: Without the supervision of those other monsters, it was much more smoother than it needed to be haha!
Fergo: I know it was wrong. . . But it needed to be done. They already took so much from us.
Gerald: Yes. . . Remember what your grandfather told you back then.
Fergo: "Monsters are a disgrace." I remember grandpa Ivor telling me that.
Gerald: Yes. . . Your grandfather, one of the 6 Great Wizards back then.
WHAT?!?! Yes, you heard that right! Not only are Gerald and Amelia part of the Guardsmen, but Gerald's father, and Fergo's grandfather. Gerald then recalled how Ivor Keller was one of the 6 Great Wizards from back during the war. These wizards were the technical council of the humans back during the war. Each of them were modeled after the 6 soul traits. And Ivor Keller was the Great Wizard of Integrity. It was him that started to spark the war. The war between humans and monsters started due to indifferences between the council and Asgore. Ivor proposed a preposition to Asgore, where the monsters could be studied and possibly have their magic used in human magic as well. So humans could wield both human and monster magics. That however, was impossible and preposterous, and Asgore refused the suggestion. However, Ivor wasn't taking no for an answer. Arguments continued, and in the end, during what became known as "The Spark." When humans and monsters were in a heated debate at the outskirts of the Ebottian Kingdom back then, it was the humans who shot first. One of the humans let out a magic, a strange green looking magic. . . And it hit and killed one of the monsters. And this was the shot that started the war between humans and monsters. Ever since then, Ivor has had his son, Gerald, lead the charge against the monsters. A sort of retribution and his wrath to them all. And when the barrier was formed, Ivor couldn't have been happier. However, when he heard of the humans that started to go missing from Mt Ebott, he started to suspect this was the monster's doings. So he made sure to insight his hatred and distrust in the monsters to his family in case they were ever freed. And no one took that more to heart. . . Than Frisk. She refused to believe that all monsters were bad, and questioned if they deserved to be trapped down there. This caused countless conflicts within her family which eventually got heated and resulted in Frisk being grounded at times. By the time the 4th human had fallen down Mt. Ebott, Ivor's health started to deteriorate. With his dying breath, he wished that the monsters would never be freed. And if they were. . . To enslave them all, and kill those that sympathize with them. . . Gerald, holding his grandfather's hand, promised he would, as Ivor drew his last breath. 2 more humans fell down, and Frisk still didn't want to believe that the monsters were evil. During one night, where things got too heated, Frisk was grounded for a whole 2 weeks for her "rebellion" on her grandfather's beliefs. In her room, she looked around and pondered before leaning on her desk with the window that looked out. . . Looked out to Mt. Ebott. It was then she got an idea. If she couldn't convince them with words, she would convince them with actions. The following night, Frisk sneaked out of her room, and headed for Mt. Ebott. And when her family found her missing and heard of a 7th child that fell down Mt. Ebott, they assumed Frisk just couldn't take it with them anymore, and tried to end it by falling into Mt. Ebott. . . Imagine their shock, when Frisk and the monsters returned, Frisk appeared as their ambassador, and she was being raised by Toriel with a new family. They tried to instill rebellion and hate, but all efforts failed as the humans quickly embraced the monsters. Not even recalling Ivor's status as one of the Great Wizards helped them. In their minds, they felt that monsters had taken their status from them. . . And now they took their daughter. They had waited all this time to get Frisk back now for a. . . Special reason. But nonetheless, they finally had her back.
Fergo: I still remember all the times. . . Now she tries to forget them. With her fake brother and family. All those she calls family. I hate them. I hate them I hate them!
Amelia: We do too. . . But now with her and that "prince" we finally can get rid of them. This "family" of hers ends here and now. It's been too long, and now we have the perfect way to lure them.
The car they were in eventually screeched into a halt, pulling into an empty and abandoned parking lot. . . With an abandoned dock and warehouses everywhere, forests surrounding them. This place was far isolated from the rest of Ebott as the buildings hugged the hills it was up against.
Gerald: And this is where we'll do it. . . Go grab them, let's get set up. . . And kill this poor excuse of a family. . . Today, we end the Dreemurrs.
King can use monster magic. Which came to the shock of everyone. What once was a human, is now converting into a monster. How could this happen? We find out today when we visit Alphys' lab. . .

Chapter 7: Taken from,
The sun shined bright up high on Ebott City on this bright and vibrant afternoon. However, instead of happiness that clouded the sky, there was curiosity. Earlier in the morning, King had demonstrated more of his “monstery” physique. As a New-Breed with skeletal features, he had revealed himself to have the same Blue Magic as the skeletons, Sans and Papyrus. This sparked curiosity among them, so during school, Toriel made a call to Alphys and requested a check up on King’s state. Alphys, while shocked a bit, obliged to Toriel’s worriedness. King had stayed with the skeletons after being picked up by Sans. He stayed with the two of them, occasionally chatting, but nothing too much. Then at 2:30, when all the kids got out of school, King was preparing himself mentally to go to Alphys’ lab. However, Papyrus was going to be busy that day, Sans had other business (i.e, sleep) to attend to, and Toriel had a staff meeting with the other teachers after class. So instead, Toriel hesitantly asked Asgore to pick up the kids. And Asgore happily obliged to be the one who would be dropping off the kids at the lab.
King: *Patiently waiting on the Skelebros’ couch, kicking his feet in the air*
Sans: *Laying down on the couch on the other end, before he looks up at King* You ok kiddo?
King: *Looks at Sans* Yeah I’m fine. Just nervous.
Sans: Hm, fair. I’m sure the last place you want to be is a lab. *Looking at the TV as it plays a random documentary*
King: Yeah. . . But, *Looks at his hands* what happened earlier is what scares me more. Am I. . . Am I no longer human? What’s wrong with my soul? And why is this all happening to me?
Sans: Heh, I ask myself some of those questions.
King: *Looks at Sans curiously* Hm? Why?
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Before King could even get an acknowledgment from Sans, 3 heavy bangs came from the front door of the house. Papyrus stepped out of the kitchen and opened the door curiously. But Sans knew who it was the moment he heard how heavy the bangs were.
Papyrus: *Swings the door open* Nyeh? Hello?
Asgore: *In his pink shirt with white flowers sprinkled all over and his blue pants* Papyrus, howdy!
Papyrus: Oh! Your majesty! A pleasure to meet you! *Turns around and shouts upstairs* LITTLE KING, YOUR RIDE AWAITS!
King: *Standing right under Papyrus and looking up at him* Owie, my ears.
Papyrus: *Looks down* Oh, sorry King! But your dad is here to pick you up now! *Steps aside as King lays eyes on Asgore for the first time*
Asgore: King. . Hohoho! *Waves* Howdy! Nice to finally meet you! *Opens his arms wide for a warm hug*
King: *Looks before walking over with a smile and hugs Asgore* Hehe, so you’re Asgore. My dad. Nice to meet you too dad!
King and Asgore hugged for a good while, both of them smiling warmly. King felt familiar, it was like when Toriel hugged him a few nights back. King couldn’t believe it, how could this big hunk of fluff have killed 6 humans. Sure that was all in the past, but still. And even still, Toriel couldn’t forgive him? King was confused but didn’t question it as he just continued hugging Asgore happily. The two hugged for a bit more before they finally pulled away.
Sans: See ya kiddo. Hope things go smoothly for ya at the lab!
King: Thank you, Sans! *Waves as he follows Asgore to his truck*
King followed Asgore to his red truck, it was definitely bigger than Toriel’s car and the back of his truck was empty, but usually it would be filled with pots of flowers and plants.
Asgore climbed into the drivers seat as King swung open the door to the back.
Asgore: Oh, no need for that, King. Come on, hop in the front.
King: *Looks at Asgore* Are you sure?
Asgore: Of course I am!
King hesitantly looked and moved, before he closed the door to the back, went around the vehicle and climbed into the shotgun of the truck as Asgore had finished putting his seatbelt on. King hopped in and put his seatbelt on as well. Asgore looked at King before he started the truck and started making their way to the school.
King: *Looking outside as he sees other cars flying by, people on the sidewalk running and laughing*
Asgore: So, King. How’s it feel with the kids and Tori?
King: *Looks at Asgore* It’s been the best. I haven't had siblings and a mother that loved me this much. Let alone just be around after being so isolated for such a long time.
Asgore: Hoho, I’m happy for you King.
King: But, why aren’t you around? Where do you live?
Asgore: Out in the woods in my cabin. Toriel doesn’t like having me around.
King: But why? You’re such a nice dad. You’re a nice person! Sure all that happened back then happened. But that was in the past. It’s been a year, surely things have changed.
Asgore: I have, but Toriel still doesn’t want me around. But I won’t bother her about it. I’ll respect her.
King: But what about you?
Asgore: I’ll be fine, son. But if you want, you can visit me in the woods whenever you want.
King: . . . O-ok. Thanks. . Dad.
Asgore: *Looks at King and smiles*
Asgore and King rode for a bit more with the radio on, occasionally singing (for King, humming) before they finally reached the school. Where they saw Frisk, Asriel, MK, and another human talking with each other. Asgore parked on the curb as King hopped out.
King: *Looks back and waits for Asgore*
Frisk and Asriel: *Look over and see King waiting* King!!!
King: *Looks over, smiles, and waves at them* Hi Frisk! Hi Asriel!
Asgore: *Comes around as he looks at Frisk and Asriel*
Frisk and Asriel: Daaaad! *Get up and run over*
Asgore leaned down, arms open and smiling as he gave Frisk and Asriel a big hug. King watched before MK and the other human started walking.
MK: *Walks up to King* Hey dude!
King: *Waves* Hi MK, right?
MK: Yup!
???: *The other human walks over* You’re Frisk and Asriel’s new sibling, right?
King: Yes, I am. And you are?
Martin: Martin, Martin Harrell. *Sticks his hand out, covered in his red gloves* Nice to meet you. . . King?
King looked at the hand then at Martin. He was an African-American with black hair that was under his blue beanie. He wore a red coat over his black shirt and pants with gray shoes. He had blue eyes and wore red glass with circular lenses.
King: Yes, *Sticks his hand out and shakes his hand* Nice to meet you. . . I’m assuming your soul is the blue one? Integrity?
Martin: Oh? Yes! How’d you guess!
King: Your eyes. I’ve been starting to notice that with every human.
Martin: Haha, you catch onto that quick!
King: Yeah hehe. So you’re friends with Frisk and Asriel?
Martin: Yup! Been friends for several months now. Me, them, and MK are always together, except for a couple school periods.
King: Cool!
Martin first met Frisk, Asriel, and MK back in January of 2016, when the school opened. Martin had saw Frisk and Ryan getting into a scuffle. Then he decided to step in and help Frisk. Martin had knew of Ryan’s animosity towards the monsters and that Frisk was always a potential target for his anger. But Martin managed to get Ryan off and actually get him sent to the office. Frisk thanked him as Martin asked if she was ok. From that moment, Martin had become a very close friend of Frisk, Asriel, and MK.
Asgore: King, *Calls over as he stopped hugging them* Shall we get going?
King: Oh, yeah, sorry.
Martin: Hm?
King: I have to go the to lab. I don’t know if you heard about what happened this morning-
Martin: Oh yeah, it’s been the talk of the town all day.
MK: Haha, yeah. Everyone was talking about you King.
King: . . I’m assuming not good things.
MK: Eh, some. But mostly how cool it was. Seeing the powers of a skeleton being wielded by a kid.
King: Ehehe. . . Anyways, I have to go now.
Martin: Alright, nice to meet you again! Hope we can get to know each other more!
King: Me too, bye!
Frisk, Asriel, and King waved bye to MK and Martin as they hopped into Asgore truck and started heading for Alphys’ lab. On their way, Asgore had told the kids that he only had time to drop them off. He couldn’t stay due to a conference he had to go to, which Toriel was aware of, but didn’t raise any alarms. She knew that Frisk and Asriel liked to go out alone, and were capable of protecting themselves.
Several minutes passed before the 4 of them finally got to the Ebott lab. The lab itself was it’s own building, a large own for that fact. Due to it’s size, it was located within the city with it’s own parking lot. Asgore pulled up to the front of the building, which had a large rotating glass door.
Asgore: Alright, when you’re finished, Alphys should be able to give you a ride back home. At least that’s what your mother told me.
Frisk: *Out and on the sidewalk with Asriel and King* Ok! Thanks dad!
Asgore: Take care kids! I’ll see you around!
The kids waved bye to Asgore as he pulled away and out of the parking lot. The kids turned and approached the lab. They entered the rotating door and looked in, where they saw countless people, humans and monsters, roaming around with machines and other models lining the area and the ceiling.
Kids: Woaaah.
“O-oh you’re here!”
The kids looked down and saw Alphys approaching them, holding a tablet and in her lab coat.
Alphys: I heard what happened. King? Are you ok?
King: Yeah.
Frisk: Has it happened again since this morning?
King: N-no, nothing.
Alphys: Well that’s good. . . I think. Come on, we need to head to one of the lab rooms.
The kids followed Alphys as they passed several creations up on display and models that hung from the ceiling. Alphys’ lab consists of some of the smartest scientists of Ebott. They worked hard to merge the technological advances that humans have made since, and capture the essence of monster magic to create some of the most astonishing machines. As a matter a fact, because of this, Ebott has some technology that no other city in the world has. Ebott’s popularity with the monsters is slowly making Ebott a tourist attraction around the world.
Anyways, Alphys guided them into a hallway with a few other rooms and seats around. But Alphys guided them to her study area, which had a few seats around her door.
Alphys: Um, sorry Frisk and Asriel. But please stay out here. Some of the things in there can be pretty dangerous.
Asriel: No worries Dr Alphys! Actually can we take a look around? It’s really cool around the lab!
Alphys: O-oh sure. I’ll text you all when it’s done.
Frisk: *Thumbs up*
Alphys *Types on a keypad next to her door and hits enter before the door swings open* King, please follow me inside.
King: *Steps towards the door before looking at Frisk and Asriel*
Frisk: *Looks at King and smiles* You’ll be fine, King. Don’t worry.
King: . . Y-yeah. Thanks, sis. I’ll see you in a bit.
Frisk: *Smiles as she and Asriel head out to explore the lab*
King: *Watches them run off before turning back to Alphys and entering her room*
King walked in and saw a bunch of cabinets, test tubes, panels, and tablets lining the room.
King: *Steps back a bit*
Alphys: Sorry, I’m sure it looks familiar. But I promise, no experiments. I won’t be like dissecting or touching you, I promise.
King: O-ok good.
Alphys: *Pulls out a small device* Lets get started.
And to her word, Alphys didn’t touch King at all. Her tech allowed her to scan King and give him details on what was happening. Alphys looked at the numbers and details and tried to make sense of it. Trying to understand what happened, and why King’s powers were awakening now. . .
A FEW MINUTES LATER
Frisk and Asriel: *Looking at all the exhibits and models*
The two Dreemurr siblings were running around the lab, astonished by all the things that were happening. Their footsteps echoing against the marble floor as they walked around, other visitors also admiring the area.
Frisk and Asriel eventually sat on a bench that was in the middle of a walkway. Not completely in an isolated area of the lab, but there was no one around them.
Frisk: Haha, this place is so cool, right Azzy?
Asriel: Yeah! I didn’t know Dr. Alphys. Had made all of these! So many cool things she and everyone had made in a year.
Frisk: *Turns to Asriel* . . . Remember when we first came here to check up on us?
Asriel: Huh?
Frisk: Remember? Our-
Asriel: Huh? . OH!! Hehe. . . *Conjures his soul. . . One half of Frisk’s Determination soul* Yeah.
Frisk: *Conjures her soul, revealing the other half* Yeah, hehe.
Well, that explains a lot!!! Way back then, in the Underground. After Frisk and Asriel’s fight and when the two embraced each other, Frisk did something unprecedented. Making a small sacrifice, Frisk willingly split her soul in 2 and allowed Asriel to take on half, while Frisk kept the other. Frisk and Asriel did reveal it to the others, which prompted a bit of panic amongst the others. But after settling in, Frisk and Asriel were brought to the lab on the surface and both seemed to be in stable conditions, and have been for a year now.
Asriel: Hehe, memories. *Unconjures his soul and looks around* Looking around again just makes me realize how much has changed.
Frisk: I know right! *Unconjures her soul and looks around, turning away from Asriel and looking out* What’s your favorite thing we’ve seen by far?
Asriel: Haha, definitely the-
STEP
“MHMPH?!?!”
Frisk waited for a bit before she grew curious. She looked back and saw Asriel was gone from his seat.
Frisk: Asriel?
SLAM SLAM
Frisk heard a light slamming, like someone pounding on the marble floor. She turned around behind the bench, where the sound was coming from. . . Only to see Asriel on the floor as a hooded figure was on top of him, pressing a cloth against Asriel’s mouth as he struggled.
Asriel: FRIMPH!!!! *Asriel calls out as he looks at Frisk*
Frisk: ASRI-
STEP
Frisk was about to reach out to help. . . Before she felt something wrap around her torso and pull her away, off the bench and into the air. She struggled a bit before she also had a cloth pressed up against her face. As Frisk struggled and tried to breath, she noticed the cloth smelled like. . . Chloroform. . . Uh oh. Frisk struggled and tried to squirm out of the grasp of the figure, but it was no use. This figure was strong. . . Very strong.
Frisk: *Squirming and kicking*
“Stop struggling, Frisk.”
Frisk: *Eyes widen as she looks back and sees the figure, also hooded. . . But can see his face*
. . .
Gerald: We’re taking you home now. *Gerald Keller says in a whisper*
Frisk: *Her squirms and kicks get less frantic as she starts to feel droopy*
Eventually, the Dreemurr siblings started to feel limp and they eventually passed out from the Chloroform clothes.
Gerald: . . . Amelia let’s go.
Amelia: *Grabs Asriel’s unconscious body* Right.
. . .
. . .
. .
. .
.
.
King: *Sitting on the bed, with a heart pressure wrapped around his arm as he sits and waits*
Alphys: *Looking at one of the panels on the wall, as the numbers start coming in* Hm.
King: What’s it say? Anything?
Alphys: It seems your body and soul are starting to adapt to some sort of implementation.
King: Huh?
Alphys: Something was implanted onto your soul. I’m not sure though. Can you recall what happened to you when-
KNOCK KNOCK
“DR. ALPHYS!!!!”
King and Alphys both jumped as they heard heavy knocks on Alphys’ lab door. King removed the heart pressure around his arm, but he still sat as Alphys approached the door before opening it. She was then met with a human scientist at the door.
Alphys: Oh, Dr Nile. What’s wrong?
Nile: I’m sorry to bother you while you’re experimenting, but. . .
“Frisk and Asriel have gone missing!”
Alphys and King: WHAT?!?! *The two scream as their eyes widen*
Nile: Our person on the cameras radioed in, they saw two hooded figures grab and knock out Frisk and Asriel. We don’t know where they are!
Alphys: Oh no. . . Oh no oh no oh no! *Alphys nervously and frantically walks in circles*
Nile: We-
King: *Running out of Alphys’ room and running into the lab* FRISK!!!! ASRIEL!!!!!
Alphys: King!!! *Reaches out before she runs after him*
King zoomed out into the main area, where he saw security guards out and searching. He stopped and looked around, the lab was massive, they could be anywhere!
King: *Breathing heavily in nervousness as he looks around*
Alphys: King! Don’t just take off like that!
King: But we have to find them!
Alphys: I know. . U-um, we should split up!
King: Split up?!
Alphys: The lab is huge, even with us all it’ll take a long time to search this place! I’ll check the 2nd floor, you search the lower floor.
King: But I don’t know this place like you do!
Alphys: Just start running around! *Running up the stairs as she pulls out her phone*
King: *Exhales in nervousness before running around*
King ran around the light yellow walls of the lab, his feet echoing against the white marble floor and the fluorescent lights overhead zooming by his face as he started sweating. He then heard over the intercom that the lab was on lockdown. most likely due to Alphys. No one was allowed to leave without thorough inspection from security, and to be on the lookout for Frisk and Asriel.
King ran out frantically before he found himself near the back of the lab, in a staff only section, with a few experiments and models aligning the walls. As he turned a corner, he saw an exit door around the back. . . But it was open, as a tall figure was walking towards the door carrying Frisk.
King: *Gasps as he’s about to scream, but stops himself. He then looked at his hand and recalled what happened earlier this morning. He then clenched his hand before running towards the figure* YOU!!! STOP RIGHT-
WHOOSH
Before King could get close to the figure, he felt a gust of energy push him back. A wall of flames appeared, pushing King back before retracting. . . Bravery flames.
Amelia: *Steps from around a corner before looking at Gerald, holding Frisk’s still unconscious body* Go on, get her in the car with the other.
Gerald walked out to the back of the lab, where a car was waiting. Meanwhile, Amelia stepped towards King as he laid on his stomach on the ground.
Amelia: King, was it? How sad that Frisk settled for you as a brother.
King: Ngh, give her back!
Amelia: Why? You’re not her brother. . . Not like this.
King: I-I am her brother!
Amelia: Maybe if you weren’t a monster. . . Since you were once a human. Isn’t that right?
King’s eyes widened as he looked up at Amelia, his white pupils shaking worryingly as he hears Amelia’s words.
Amelia: You were once a human, right? But then you were experimented on. Turned into this. *Steps back King, who’s on his knees* Think about it. Asriel, your brother, turned you into this. How could you forgive him?
King: He. . . He said he didn’t mean it.
Amelia: Or is that what he wanted you to hear? Monsters are nothing more than creatures always craving for violence. But you, you were once a human. You could’ve lived a nice life as one. But now you’re made into this. . . I mean look at you now. Even months after, you’re still being experimented on. Because you don’t know who you are.
King: . . . Th-that’s not true. I-I’m King.
Amelia: That’s what Frisk named you. What was your name? Your real name? As a human? Hm? You don’t remember. Because you were made into a monster.
King: . . . I-I. . . S-stop. Please, give me them back. Frisk, she-
Amelia: *Steps in front of King, presses her hand against his chest and lightly pushes King onto the ground, her powers enhancing her physical capabilities as King slides across the floor* Don’t say her name. She’s not your sister.
King: Aggh!! *Sliding before crawling to his feet*
Just then, King heard footsteps echo behind him, as Alphys came around the corner.
Alphys: *Gasps* KING! *Runs over to him as she looks up at Amelia*
Amelia: (Drat!) *Stands in front of the door* She’s Frisk Keller. You were never her sister. You’re just a failed excuse of a life, meant to be forgotten. That’s probably why your first family abandoned you. *Turns to the door and runs out and into the car, as the others are in and ready*
Alphys: No! *Rushes over and opens the door, only to see the car pulling away. The Kellers, including Fergo in the car. . . And Frisk and Asriel unconscious still in the back* NO!!!!
Alphys looked out and tried to get the license plate, but King. . . He was still laying on the floor, panting. . . And tearing a bit.
King: *Tears formed in his eyes as Amelia’s words echoed in his head. . . “You’re just a failed excuse of a life, meant to be forgotten. That’s probably why your first family abandoned you.”* . . . *Brings his hands up to his head as he starts breathing fast* I’m not. . . I’m not a failed life . . . R-right?
Previously, King and Toriel had shared a touching moment. King had bonded with Frisk, then he bonded with Toriel. Officially being one of the Dreemurr kids. So much happened on that weekend. But alas, the weekend is over and something. . . Unleashes.
The sun has just started to approach the horizon as the early morning has started for Ebott City. A few days have passed since last, when Toriel and King shared a wholesome moment as officially mother and son. Now it was Monday, meaning that the school times have begun again. Frisk and Asriel had already been enrolled in Toriel's school in the beginning months of being freed from Mt. Ebott, the Ebott Unity School. Allowing both human and monster children to enroll. They were enrolled in the school that Toriel had opened, following both the US education system, and a learning area for the new children that were starting to develop their corresponding soul traits and how to focus their magic. Though for monsters, it's just them starting to develop their powers as their souls aren't able to produce traits like human souls. However, due to King's still unusual nature of his soul and body, Toriel has made the decision to not enroll him in the school yet. He will eventually, but not at the moment. She has promised that she will teach King individually at home so he's not held back. Frisk, Asriel, and technically King are in 7th grade. All of them are the same age after all. And one thing about Toriel's school is that it combines Elementary and Middle school students into one campus. Though the Elementary kids are split into a separate area from the middle school kids. However, while at different education levels, Toriel has still made sure that all grades above 4th grade start their "training" to master their soul traits, as 5th grade is typically when kids start to develop their soul traits.
Anyways, the Dreemurr family household was sound asleep, 5 minutes before their alarms flared up. Toriel was laying down peacefully, a sleep mask over her eyes. Asriel was curled up as he hugged one of his stuff animals. And Frisk was laying down peacefully as King curled up slightly in the corner of the bed.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Was the sound that all of their alarm clocks made as it signified that it was time to get ready for school. None of them were angry or annoyed, they all gladly sat up, rubbed the sleep out of their eyes, and turned their alarms off, with the exception of King who curled up more to block out the sound.
Frisk: *Yawns as she turns her alarm off and looks at Asriel* Morning Azzy!
Asriel: Morning Frisk!
Frisk: *Looks over at King* Morning King!
King: *Groans* So early.
Frisk: Hehe, *Crawls over to King* You sleep ok?
King: U-um, kind of? *Sits up* Still trying to get used to these horns.
Frisk: Yeah, I don't know how monsters with horns do that.
Asriel: Dad does it, and eventually I'll have to when I get my own horns.
KNOCK KNOCK
Toriel: Children? Are you awake? *Toriel says, muffled due to the door*
Asriel: We're awake mom!
Toriel: Good, get ready for school. Except for you, King.
King: Yay. . . I can sleep more. *Lays back down*
Toriel: No no. I have to teach, and I'm not leaving you home alone. Get up, I have a good friend of mine looking after you.
Frisk: Hehe, you heard him sleepyhead, let's go. *Grabs King's legs and starts dragging him out of bed*
King: Nuuuu!!! Nuuuuu!!!!! *King overdramatically screams as he clings onto the bed sheets as Frisk drags him out of bed and onto the ground*
King continued his overdramatic screams as Asriel laughed. King clinging onto the floor as Frisk dragged him to the bathroom. Though King was joking around as he eventually got up. The 3 used the bathroom, with Frisk and Asriel taking their time using the shower as King just brushed his teeth over the sink. Frisk and Asriel got dressed as King started folding their bed sheets which the two very much appreciated. Frisk and Asriel grabbed their backpacks as King finished up making Asriel's bed before the 3 of them started to head to the kitchen. Toriel had cooked up a small breakfast of bacon and eggs for all them. Each of them took their seat as they ate before getting ready to get out. Frisk put on her brown boots as Asriel and King waited on the couch before Toriel walked down in her teacher's attire and her small suitcase. All of them headed for her car, still in the driveway and started making their way to Toriel's school, which resided between the residential and downtown area. Kids had already started coming in, which caused a bit of traffic. Toriel safely got into the faculty parking lot and parked as all of them got out. The chilly and cold breeze blowing past them, which only Frisk shivering a bit. Toriel and Asriel's snow-white fur kept them warm from the cold, while King's skeletal body, paired with his fur kept the cold away from him.
The 4 kids walked onto the large public campus. A large pavement of concrete with some tall trees, grass patches, a sign of the school, and a pole for the flags. But the actual entrance to the school was still locked as the school opens the gates after a certain time threshold.
Frisk and Asriel: *Looking around*
King: *By Toriel* So who's coming to watch me?
Toriel: My good friend, Sans. He should be here any-
"Minute?"
Toriel jumped a bit as a voice was heard to her right. And when she looked, she saw the beloved small, blue jacketed skeleton himself.
Sans: Heh, heya Tori.
Toriel: Sans! Thank you! I'm surprised you're here! Thought you'd still be sleeping in.
Sans: Hey, you called last night to ask for a promise. To watch your new kiddo.
King: *Peeks around Toriel and takes a look at Sans*
Sans: *Smiling as he looks at Toriel before looking at King* Heya kiddo. King right?
King: Y-yeah. . . Also a skeleton? Your brother? Papyrus?
Sans: You met him, Saturday? Not sure.
Frisk and Asriel: Sans!! *The two shout as they run over to give Sans a hug*
Sans: Ohhh, hah. Heya kiddos! Missed you two. *Hugs the two back in the 3 way hug*
Toriel watched happily as the 3 hugged, while King stood idly by.
King: So he'll watch me until you're back home?
Toriel: Yes, don't worry. Sans and Papyrus are really fun to be around. And they're skeletons too, maybe you'll learn a bit about yourself. . .
King: Heh, yeah. *Looks back*
"Yo!! Dude!"
Frisk and Asriel pulled away from the hug as all of them stood. They looked over to see a certain yellow skinned lizard running over in a yellow and brown striped shirt and brown pants. With light yellow spikes lining his head and back and down to his lizard tail. Frisk's best friend that she's grown acquainted with after meeting the in the Underground, Monster Kid. Or as Frisk and Asriel call him-
Frisk and Asriel: MK!!!
MK: Frisk! Asriel! *Running over and stands next to them, smiling*
MK, or Max as he's actually named. An 11-year-old, yellow lizard monster. Slightly younger than Frisk by 1 year, but still very good friends and utilize the chance to hang around the moment they get it in school. MK back in the Underground, had no arms. However, thanks to the advancements made in human technology by magic, MK, with the assistance of Dr. Alphys and some other scientists at the Ebott, they managed to create robotic hands for MK. These robotic hands are infused with nerves that connect to MK, meaning if something happens to his hands, he will feel it. These hands are also a lighter yellow to his skin color. They have 5-clawed fingers on each hand and connect to the side of MK, under his shoulders where his arms would be if he had any.
MK: Feels like it's been forever since I've seen you two! *Reaches his hand out as he handshakes with both Frisk and Asriel* How have you two been?
Asriel: Hehe, we're doing really well! As a matter a fact, meet our new adopted brother! *Steps aside and shows King, standing behind him. As King also stands next to Toriel*
King: *Waves at MK* Hi.
MK: Woaaah! You're a skeleton?
Frisk: He's an exp- *Cuts herself off as she doesn't want to put King in an awkward and questioning position* A New-Breed.
MK: That's sooo cool!! You have horns! And fur!!
King: *Looks down and to the side as he uses his hands to pull out his skeletal tail*
MK: Woah!!! WHAT?!?! *MK smiles in shock and glee as he runs over* DUUUDEEE!!!! *Reaches out to King's tail*
King: Oh! Ehehe.
Toriel: Please be careful with him, MK. He's still getting used to these features.
MK: Sorry! *Looks back at King and sticks his hand out* Max, but my friends call me MK.
King: *Accepts and shakes MK's hand* King.
The two of them shook hands for a bit before MK continued walking around King, jealous and gushing over King's skeletal features compared to his lizard-like features. Meanwhile, Toriel and Sans stepped away to talk for a bit about taking care of King while Frisk and Asriel just watched as King stood all flustered as MK admired his body.
MK: Dude!! You are awesome!
King: Oh, ehehe, thanks! *Scratches the back of his head in flusteredness*
Frisk: Hehe, you ok King?
King: I'm fine, just not used to this.
MK: Bro, you are one of the coolest New-Breeds I've ever seen! The tail, the horns, your bones, and your claws! Ah, I'm so jealous!
King: Haha, th-thanks. Sorry, I'm not used to being admired like this, you know.
MK: Dude, as a New-Breed. You are so-
"Disgusting."
The four kids looked over after MK was interrupted by a voice that came from behind Frisk and Asriel. There, they saw two other kids walking over, both of them human. One of them was a 13-year-old boy. Tan skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. He wore a blue shirt over his puffy, green jacket and blue scarf. He also had black pants on with brown boots that had white highlights. The other kid was also 13-years-old, but she was a girl. She had brunette hair with orange highlights, her hair flowing down past her shoulders and a quarter of a way down her back. She wore a purple sweater with a fancy design on the front in orange. She also wore brown pants and shiny, glittery magenta shoes.
Frisk: Ryan. Patrica.
Ryan and Patrica: Frisk.
Patrica: Not a pleasure seeing you again.
Frisk: Please don't do this now. School hasn't even started yet.
King: *Looks at MK and Asriel* You know those two?
Asriel: Bullies. Been like that ever since.
Ryan Henderson and Patrica Padillia. Two human kids who are part of the minority who despise the monsters. As much as many people welcomed their new monster peers, there are those that hate them. We've already met a few personally, the Keller family. Frisk's old family. But now we meet Ryan and Patrica. Ryan lived with his parents who were already in a rough relationship. However, when the monsters came to Ebott City, tension between the two parents finally snapped. And when Ryan's mother left her husband for a male bird-monster, it broke his father. Ryan stayed with his dad as he was more loyal to him than his mother, but it still made him resent the monsters that took his mother from him. Which fueled his distrust in them. And when he was enrolled in the Ebott Unity School, where both humans AND monsters learned together, he wanted to enact his "revenge" on the monsters that stole his mother from him.
As for Patrica, she was and still is part of the human nobility. This was mostly due to the propaganda during the war she and her family had created, inciting hatred and violence to the monsters. It was only strengthened more when Asriel made his first appearance, and with the "disappearance" of the 6 humans that fell down Mt Ebott. She and her family had been like this for years, but after the monsters returned and Frisk won the trust and loyalty of the humans to trust the monsters, that trust from Patrica's family came to question, and the loyalty to her family came crashing down. Now she and her family developed an animosity towards the monsters.
Ryan and Patrica met when they were in 7th grade, where they both found their disinterest in the monsters. Ever since then, they've been picking on the monsters and occasionally giving Frisk a hard time.
Ryan: If it isn't Frisk Loser, herself.
Asriel: Don't call her that!
Patrica: Oh why? Because it's true, you hideous and disgusting excuse of a kid.
Asriel: Hey! *Asriel steps back a bit, hurt by the words*
MK: Leave Asriel alone!
Ryan: As if you're not different. You slimy and scaly kid!
Frisk: Leave them out of this!
Ryan: It's your fault they're in it in the first place! You freed those stupid monsters a year ago! And for a whole year, my life has been the worst!
Patrica: You made it bad for the both of us! You're the cause of this all!
Frisk: Just because they're monsters doesn't mean you have to treat them so poorly! Leave them alone. They have just as much humanity as we do, so you have to try-
Ryan: *Steps towards Frisk and points at her* I don't have to try anything! Because you ruined everything! Monsters ruined our life! And it's all. Your. FAULT!!! *Ryan screams before he pushes Frisk back and to the ground*
Frisk stumbled a bit as Ryan pushed her. She braced, but then found two hands around her shoulders as she felt no impact. She looked at her shoulders and saw 3-clawed hands holding her shoulders gently.
King: *Holding Frisk up before she falls to the ground* Are you ok, sis? That wasn't very nice.
Frisk: King, thanks. And yeah, I'm fine.
Patrica: Another monster kid? Never seen you before. . . What'd you call her? Sis? You got to be kidding me! Haha! *She laughs a smug laugh* You got another monster kid? What's wrong, couldn't have a human sibling?!
King and Frisk looked up at Patrica as Frisk got to her feet and stood in front of King.
Frisk: Yes! This is my new brother! He maybe a monster, but he's more human than you think-
Patrica: How? Look at those things on him! His horns. Those fangs. That skeleton face. That long tail. And those claws! Haha, it makes him look so weird!
King: *Looks down in a bit of sadness*
Frisk: Leave him alone!
Ryan: *Steps toward Frisk* Or what?
Frisk: *Steps back as Ryan approaches her, stepping backwards and off to the side*
Asriel and MK walked over to help reinforce Frisk, but this left King alone. King stepped back as well in nervousness, this with him isolated, this allowed Patrica to approach King. At this point because of this ruckus, a small patch of middle school kids were starting to group up to see what was happening.
Patrica: So. What did Frisk name you? Another stupid name?
King: K-King.
Patrica: King?! Pft! Hahahaha!!! *Laughs as she holds her sides* Oh my gosh! As if you monsters aren't terrible enough! So is your name!
King: I-I like it.
Patrica: Well it's dumb! Just like you! You pathetic, foolish monsters. *Steps in front of King as he just stands there* You. . . There's something about you that makes you unlike the others. What is it?
King: N-nothing! *King says in nervousness as he feels something in his chest. . .*
THUMP THUMP
Patrica: It's clearly something. . . And I'm going to find out. *Steps back. . As she summons a Perseverance book*
Do remember, Ryan and Patrica are humans. With them being in 8th grade, they have more experience when it comes to their powers. Patrica as we see has demonstrated her soul trait, Perseverance. While Ryan possessed a Bravery soul. Patrica's book flipped through the pages before she closed it, causing a small gust of Perseverance energy to push at King and knock him to the floor.
King: OOMPH! *Pushed by the energy as he lays on his back and looks up at Patrica*
Patrica: Come on! You're so weak!
King: *Speechless as he looks up at her*
THUMP THUMP THUMP
Frisk, Asriel, and MK: *Look over as they see Patrica knock King down* King!! *The three of them shout as they start running over*
Ryan: *Smirks before he steps his foot out and trips Frisk*
Frisk: Ah! Ow! *Frisk says as she rubs her head and lays on her side*
Asriel and MK: Frisk! *Turn to her before a Perseverance barricade is put between them by Patrica*
Ryan: *Grabs Frisk and slams her against the Perseverance wall* You have been such a stubborn and foolish girl! These monsters aren't for everyone! Only yourself! To hide your dumb feelings!
King: FRISK! *Reaches out to her*
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
As soon as King shouted, this caused a few adults, including Toriel and Sans to step out and look at what was happening. They were shocked as they started running over to break it up.
Ryan: *Winds his fist back as it sparks a bit with Bravery energy*
Frisk: Hey!
Ryan: This. Is for EVERYTHING YOU PUT ME THROUGH!!! *About to punch Frisk*
King: FRISK!!!!!
.
THUMP
.
THUMP
.
.
.
FWHOOSH
A sudden blow of the wind occurred. . . But as it washed over Ryan and Patrica they found themselves. . . Unable to move.
Ryan and Patrica: Wh-what the heck?!?!
Toriel: *Reach the perimeter and about to say something before she freezes and stops*
Sans: *Catches up to Toriel and looks in confusion*
Ryan and Patrica couldn't move their bodies, but they were able to move their eyes and mouth. The magic that the two sparked also disappeared. Ryan in his state let go of Frisk as she dropped to her feet and looked at Ryan. . . Seeing a blue aura around him.
Frisk: *Looks around and sees Sans* Th-thanks Sans. That wasn't gonna be good.
Sans: Uhhh kid. . . That's not me.
Frisk's eyes shot wide before she looked back, Asriel and MK following her gaze behind them all.
King: *Arm out still from when he called Frisk's name. . . Sparking with light-yellow embers, harmless to him. Both of his eyes no longer white, but now replaced with the same light-yellow color as the glow from them slightly illuminated the eye sockets on his face. He pants a bit. . . As his white, human soul glows, beating extra fast in front of him* H-huh?!?! *Looks at himself* W-WOAH!!! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!
King scrambled to his feet as he looked and felt his body reacting weirdly. It felt tingly inside, as if a bunch of bugs were swirling and wiggling around in his nerves. He pondered quickly and breathed heavily as he waved and batted at his hands, trying to push the embers off. But this caused Ryan and Patrica, who were still stationary, to be flung slightly in the air.
Ryan and Patrica: WOAH WOAH WOAAH!!! WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!
Toriel: *Looking at the two before looking at King* King! Please calm down!
King: Mom! What's happening?!?! *King shouts frantically as he breathes faster*
Sans: Kid! Put them down!
King: *Puts his hands on his head as he starts hyperventilating again* I. . . I don't know how!
Toriel: King!
King: *Looks at everyone now recording and whispering about him as he breathes faster before closing his eyes* What's happening?! What's happening?! What's happening?! What's happening?! What's-
*Clap*
Frisk: *Runs over and holds King's hands before holding them to his chest* King. Please. . . Calm down. I know it's scary. But please. . . *Hugs him* Stop before you hurt them.
King looked at Frisk before looking up at Ryan and Patrica, decently high in the air and were mere moments from being flung into one of the branches on a tree. King gasped in shock. . . Before he felt Frisk starting to pat his back.
Frisk: Calm down, King. I'm here.
Asriel: *Walks over to King and hugs him as well*
MK: *Watching*
King felt the embrace of his siblings. Their hands and arms wrapped around him as it filled him with a warm embrace. The warmness of them filling his body, and easing the tingling in his nerves. He felt that tingle go away, as he looked and saw the embers in his hands starting to die down. At that same moment, Ryan and Patrica started to slowly lower to the ground, before the magic on them ceased completely. And at that same time, King's hand stopped sparking, and his eyes reverted back from light-yellow to white. His breathing started to be more relaxed and tame again.
Frisk and Asriel: *Pull away from the hug and look at King* You ok, bro?
King: Y-yeah. . I'm fine.
THUMP
The three of them looked down and saw King's soul. His white soul right side up like a human's, pounding more calmly. Then it stopped thumping before moving towards King again and disappearing.
King: . . . Wh-what just happened.
Toriel: King. *Walks over to King*
The other supervisors started to disperse the crowd while a few others tended to Ryan and Patrica who were a bit shaken at what just happened.
King: Mom? What happened?
Sans: Kid. . You just used monster magic.
King: I. . . What?!
Toriel: You're body must be adapting more now. . . We have to bring you to Dr Alphys' lab to see what's happening!
King: I thought everyone could use magic?
Asriel: Yes, humans and monsters. But we're restricted to certain types. . . And you used the same magic as Sans and Papyrus.
While magic is diverse, there are types of magic that are restricted to certain people. Obviously, there's human magic that's split into the 6 (technically 7, but Frisk is the only human with the soul of Determination) different categories. Orange Bravery filled humans can use their soul traits to create flames that strengthen them physically. Yellow Justice attributes tend to be more ranged. Allowing them to shoot yellow Justice shots, whether through a concentrated weapon, or if you're skilled enough, in the air. Kindness souls are associated with the color green. They play a more supportive role, allowing them to create strong barriers, stronger than the one that Patrica put up. But they can also heal wounds. Similar to the way Toriel healed King back in the hospital. But Toriel's was a much more weaker form of Kindness healing magic as she is a monster. Light blue is affiliated with Patience souls. These souls allow humans to create a large string from the palms of their hands, and some humans can get creative with this. Like Gerald Keller did, turning his Patience strings into a whip. Normal colored blue souls are Integrity based souls. These souls tend to mean that the person is a strong willed person. And lastly, there's the Perseverance soul. Colored purple, these souls help distinguish the knowledgeable and sometimes arrogant ones. While the weapons of the Underground are associated with the soul traits, this "new generation" of humans aren't restricted to these weapons specifically. While the Integrity human who fell in the Underground had a ballet shoe as a weapon, Integrity humans on the surface can summon any weapon with their magic to their disposal with enough willpower.
But that's humans. Monsters are a tiny bit easier to comprehend, but much more restrictive. Monsters only have a monster soul, meaning they don't have attributes, but that doesn't mean they are all restricted to 1 type of magic. Depending on the species of the monsters, their bodies are more susceptible to the magic around them, allowing the species to mold the magic into their species type. Like Toriel and Asgore can use fire magic. But Muffet can use web magic. And Undyne can use spear magic. Froggits can summon bugs to fight for them. Ice caps can summon sharp icicles. Etc. With New-Breeds being able to inherit the traits of two monster magics. But only skeleton monsters, like Sans and Papyrus, can summon bones and use a form of blue magic. Blue magic allows them to grab a hold of a user's soul and move it around, forcing the person to move with it. But they can also use this blue magic as a form of telekinesis, forming a blue aura around an object and move the object as well. Only Sans and Papyrus have been known to use these powers. . . Yet here King is now. A skeletal New-Breed experiment. . . Using the same powers of Sans and Papyrus.
King: So is that. . . A-a bad thing?
Toriel: No no-
RING RING
Toriel: *Looks over as the gates to the school are starting to be unlocked* Oh no. Uh, there's no time. I have to get class ready. King, Sans will watch over you. He can do the same thing you just did.
King: You can?!
Sans: *Winks* No.
Toriel: Sans!
Sans: Sorry Tori.
Toriel: Thank you. *Looks back at King* King, please. Just stay calm. When school is over, we're going to take you to Dr Alphys to see what's going on.
King: O-ok.
Toriel: Please, stay calm and be strong King.
King: *Nods* I'll try.
Toriel smiled as she hugged King, with Frisk and Asriel joining as well.
MK: Guys! Come on! We're gonna be late for class!
Frisk: Oh right! *Pull away as Asriel and Toriel do the same* Stay safe King! We'll be back before you know it! *Turn and walk towards school, waving at King*
King waved back, Sans as well as they watched Toriel, Frisk, Asriel, and MK walk into the school and out of their sight.
King: . . . *Looks at his hands*
Sans: Don't worry kiddo. You'll be fine.
King: How do you know?
Sans: I was once in your shoes. Not knowing how to control my magic.
King: You were?! What?!
Sans: Heh, we can talk back at my house.
King: Oh right. . . So are we walking? Or driving? Or-
Sans: Oh no, over here. I know a shortcut. *Winks*
King followed Sans around one of the buildings. Turning a corner before Sans teleported him and King off campus and back to his house. Leaving the day to resume, but still shaken. King has just demonstrated more of his monster-like side. Once a human, now converting into a monster. That was the talk of the school for the day as kids entered and walked into class. . . As 2 stood on the sidewalk, who had watched everything. . .
. . .
Amelia: He's scared. He's an experiment. . . We can use that.
Gerald: Yes. . . Later today. . . Ready?
Amelia: *Nods as the two Keller parents walk away*
Lighttale: What is Family
Chapter 5: A Parent's Love,
9/17/2016, Saturday.
Frisk's older family, the Keller family. Consisting of her mother, Amelia. Her father, Gerald. And her fraternal twin brother, Fergo. They paid a visit to the Dreemurr household to try and take Frisk back. Thankfully, Undyne and Papyrus came to the rescue. But why were they actually here?

-------------------------------
Chapter 5: A Parent's Love,
After the kerfuffle between the Dreemurrs and the Kellers, things started dying down. Undyne would reassure that she would do her best to make sure the Keller family wouldn't cause any more trouble to the Dreemurrs as she talked with Toriel while Papyrus kept the Dreemurr kids company.
Toriel: Thank you very much, Undyne.
Undyne: No problem, Toriel. . . ANYWAYS! *Undyne drops her professional and serious tone and back to her loud and goofy self* On to the real reason we're here! *Looks over at Papyrus and the kids* You kids want to head out?!
Toriel: Huh?
Papyrus: Oh right! I forgot that's why we were here! Nyeh heh heh! *Papyrus, "Nyeh"s in embarrassment*
Frisk: Go out?
Undyne: Heck yeah! It's still the weekend, the carnival is still up! And it'll be night time! So it'll make things even better!
Asriel: *Gasps happily before turning to Toriel* Can we please go, mom? Please, please, please?!
Toriel: I don't know. . . After what happened earlier-
Papyrus: You don't need to worry, Lady Asgore. I, the Great Papyrus, will protect the kids like the Royal Guardsmen trainee I am!
Frisk: Um, Papyrus. The Royal Guard hasn't been a thing in a year.
Papyrus: Nyeh?! Then what have I been training for all this time?!
Undyne: *Turns to Toriel* Don't worry, Toriel. We'll keep the three safe.
Toriel: Well. . . If you're sure. Just please bring them back before it gets too dark.
Undyne: Of course-
King: Three? *King walks over next to Toriel*
Undyne and Toriel looked down at King, who seemed a little nervous still.
Undyne: Yeah, King. We're bringing you and your siblings along for the fun! It'll be a blast!
King: I. . .
Toriel: Right, that's where we found King. . . Um, I'm sure Frisk and Asriel do want to go, right? *Looks over at the two kids*
Frisk and Asriel: *Thumbs up*
Toriel: But King. . He just got out, I really wouldn't want him to go out into that environment again. Especially the place that ended him up in the hospital.
Undyne: I'll be sure to keep King safe. I promise. Nothing will touch him.
King: . . . I. . . I want to stay here with mom.
Undyne: *Looks at King* I'm sorry?
King: Please. I'm sorry miss Undyne. But I feel comfortable here now. I have a home again after months. I want to stay, please.
Undyne: Are you sure? It'll be fun! There's games. And rides. And-
Frisk: Undyne. *Frisk says as she holds Undyne's arm*
Undyne: *Looks at Frisk and smiles* Yeah, right. Sorry. *Looks back at King* Ok, kid. You can join us next time. . . Next year! Fuhuhuhu~!
King nodded as he watched Frisk and Asriel run upstairs to get dressed. Toriel chatted for a bit with Undyne and Papyrus while they waited for the other kids. Meanwhile, King stood by idly before walking over and climbing onto the couch and flipping the TV on, wrapping some blankets around him as the sun had started setting now, the day finally starting to come to an end, starting with this early evening as the chilly and cold wind started blowing in. Frisk and Asriel came down, their sweaters and long pants equipped as they reached the bottom steps.
Papyrus: Nyeh! Ready for some fun times?!
Asriel: Heck yeah!
Papyrus: That's the spirit! *Holds Asriel before raising him up and lifting him to his shoulders* Nyeeehhh!!!
Asriel: Woaaah! Haha! Papyrus! Hehe!
Frisk: Haha! Me next! Me next! Undyneee!!!
Undyne: Haha, they're excited it seems. *Looks back at Toriel* We'll bring them back safe and sound.
Toriel: And before midnight! *Toriel chimed in as she pointed at Undyne*
Undyne: Yes, yes I will!
Toriel: Perfect, thank you! *Looks at the two kids as all four of them head for the front door* Bye kids! Have fun!
Frisk and Asriel: Bye mom! We'll see you later! *The two say in sync as they wave. Frisk atop Undyne's shoulders, and Asriel still aboard Papyrus*
Toriel smiled and giggled as she waved at them all. Undyne and Papyrus waved as well as they headed up and closed the door. Toriel could still hear the four of them laughing outside as they stepped onto the sidewalk and started making their way to the anniversary carnival. But amongst their laughter, she could hear the TV on as it played the night cartoons.
Toriel: *Smiles, looking out the window before turning around and looking at King*
King: *Eyes glued to the TV as he's bundled up in blankets and pillows*
Toriel: Can I get you something to eat, King? Drink?
King: Oh, um, yes please.
Toriel: Perfect! I'll finish up dinner for the two of us! I was going to make it for all four of us, but with Frisk and Asriel gone, it'll be quicker than I thought.
King: Hehe, yeah.
Toriel then headed into the kitchen to finish up dinner while King sat on the couch and continued watching the cartoons. The yellow light from the small chandelier overhead casting shadows across the room as King heard the light hum of it buzzing. He then felt around and felt the blankets coddle him in a warm embrace. Feeling like a big warm hug around him. He smiled a bit as he continued watching. That was until Toriel came out with 2 plates of curry and a special butterscotch pie.
Toriel: Alright, King. Let's eat heehee! *Toriel says as she walks over and sets the plates on the glass table as she sits beside King*
King shook the blankets off of him and wrapped them around his legs as he sat crisscross. Toriel grabbed the two plates of curry and gave one of them to King. She pulled the table in closer as she and him ate, both of them watching the cartoon on the TV.
Toriel: *Eating before looking over at King*
King: *Eating, but shaking a bit*
Toriel: Are you ok, King? Are you cold?
King: Hm? Oh, um. Not really? Which feels. . . Weird. I'm not used to not feeling cold during the night.
Toriel: Heehee, well being made of bones and fur will do that to you! *Toriel jokes around*
King: Ehehe, yeah. . . *King sets his plate on the table, almost finished as he watches and slouches*
Toriel: . . Are you sure you're ok?
King: I'm. . Kind of?
Toriel: *Wipes her mouth with a napkin and sets her plate down* What's wrong, my child?
King: Ehe. . . That.
Toriel: Hm?
King: You call me your child. . . I'm not used to it.
Toriel: Oh. I guess that would make sense, months of being alone without your parents does that to you.
King: I mean. . That's true. But also, just. . . My mother never did that to me.
Toriel: Hm?
King: My old mom. My old family. I guess it made sense since they did kind of throw me away.
Toriel: Don't say that, King. I'm sure they meant no ill intention.
King: Then why didn't they come visit me? Come see me? Check up? Or even try to take me back after it all. . . They just threw me away.
Toriel: That. . . *Scoots closer to King* That's no family. No parent. No mother.
King: *Looks over at Toriel*
Toriel: *Places her big 3-fingered paw on King's thigh* I'm sorry that happened to you. No child should ever go through something like that. But you don't have to worry about that anymore! You have a new life. A new family. A new mother. Sure I was the former Queen of the Underground. But back in the Underground, we had such a happy life.
King: Frisk and Asriel?
Toriel: No. The first human who ever fell down.
King: First human?
Toriel: You must've not been born yet. The first human to ever fall into the Underground from Mt Ebott, Chara.
King: Chara. . .
Toriel: She fell down and was injured. But Asriel found her. And brought her to us. Me and Asgore. There, we took her in, raised her. And Chara. . . She loved it. Chara and Asriel were always an inseparable bunch. They always did everything together. They ran around the entire Underground. From Hotlands to Snowdin. They did everything they possibly could together.
King: What happened to her?
Toriel: Chara grew sick, too sick. We tried our best to help her. . . But she eventually passed. But in her dying breath, she had one request for her brother. The golden flowers in her town, she wanted to see them before she passed. But with the barrier, there was nothing we could do. . . And she died.
King: Oh. . I'm sorry.
Toriel: Don't be. Because when she died, her soul still beated. And when it appeared before Asriel, he absorbed it. It was only then that he passed through the barrier. Because a being of a human and monster soul could pass through. He took Chara's body to the town. . . But the humans attacked him. . . And. . . Well you know your story. . .
King: Right. . . He said he didn't mean it.
Toriel: He didn't. Asriel didn't want to hurt them, but the humans didn't care. Asriel in a panic let one magic out before retreating back to the Underground. They thought, Asriel had killed Chara.
King: But he didn't. It was just the human's rage. . . So it was because of them I became a monster.
Toriel: Don't blame anyone for what you became, King. . . But when Asriel came back to the Underground, he was badly injured. . . And when. . . *Sobs*
King looked up at Toriel who stared at the table, tearing a bit. King looked at her hand, still on his thigh. He raised his 5-clawed hand up and placed it on her softly. Toriel looked at King as her sobs eased.
Toriel: Sorry.
King: It's ok. But, I'm assuming the worse came.
Toriel: . . . Yes, on one day. We lost both of our children. Asriel lives now thanks to Frisk. But it still hurts to remember that day.
King: I'm sorry.
Toriel: It's ok. . But on that same day when we found them dead. . . Asgore, King of the Underground, made a decision-
King: Asgore. . . Frisk told me about him. How is he technically our dad? But something happened between you two? Why don't you like him?
Toriel: . . When he found out about the death of Chara and Asriel, he made a promise. I don't know what came over him, but he made a promise. The barrier will be destroyed, one way or another. So any humans that fell into the Underground were to be killed.
King: . . . Oh. . .
Toriel: That's when I resigned as Queen of the Underground. Fled, and lived in the Ruins. Tried to keep any human who fell down safe and sound. But they always wanted to go home. . . Where they all met the same fate.
King: Except Frisk.
Toriel: Yes. . . But those memories. Those times with Asriel and Chara. Those were some of the happiest moments of my life. Where we could live as a family. . . Now I get to live that again. With Frisk. With Asriel. . . With you.
King: *Looks at Toriel*
Toriel: King, I try to be a good mother. That's all I want to be. And I promise.
"For as long as I live, I will make sure you have the best life ever."
King: . . . Toriel. . . No.
Toriel: Hm?
King: *The corners of his mouth quiver and croak. . . Before he hugs Toriel, tears forming*
Toriel: Oomph! *Looks down at King*
Toriel was shocked a bit at King's sudden actions, but when she saw how emotional and heart-touched he was, she smiled. Toriel then reached down and hugged King. King felt her fur, her warm and soft fur brush up against his. It was even better than the blanket. Because it was filled with the love of a mother. . . His mother.
King: . . . Thank you, mom.
Toriel: *Smiles and pats King's back* You're welcome, my child.
Toriel and King hugged for a bit longer before pulling away.
King: . . Can we sit here for a bit longer?
Toriel: Heehee, of course.
Toriel wrapped her right arm around King before pulling the blankets over their shoulders as they watched TV. Toriel dimmed the lights a bit a they continued watching. . . Before the two fell asleep. Mother and son side by side as the stars above gleaned and smiled alongside King. Happy to finally have a place he can call home. And a family he can love again.

Little update for Lighttale's releases. When Act 1 ends, there will be a 1 week or 1 and a half week grace period between the end of Act 1 and the start of Act 2, and it will be like this for all other Acts as well.
So if the final chapter of an Act is releases on Friday, the next week won't have any Lighttale uploads, and then the week after will start up Act 2. This is for both timing and to polish up the stories before releasing.
King was introduced to his new home and his new family, the Dreemurrs. After settling in, King reminisced about his old family. . . Until a doorbell is heard.
The 3 siblings opened their door as Asriel bolted out and downstairs, where he was met with his mother who had just walked into the living room upon hearing the doorbell. Frisk and King stayed upstairs as they pondered and thought. Who could be visiting them at this time?
Frisk: We just got home, who could be here now? Dad?
King: Dad?
Frisk: Or. . Kind of? Asgore, former king of Mt Ebott. But things. . . Happened between the two of them.
King: O-oh. . .
Frisk: But she doesn't hate hate him. But he's trying. Undyne must've told him about you, come on. *Frisk says as she starts walking out of the room, with King following after her*
Meanwhile, Toriel and Asriel looked at each other as they approached the front door. Asriel stood behind Toriel as she reached for the doorknob, and turned it open.
CLICK
As Toriel creaked the door open, she was met with a sight she wasn't expecting. A human family of 3. A mother, father, and their son. The mother seemed to be in her late 30s. She wore an orange casual dress with her brown pants and shoes. She had pink nail polish, red eyes, and blonde hair that reached down her shoulders. The father was in his early 40s as he wore a brown suit and tie and over his white shirt. He also wore black pants with black boots. He had black hair that was combed to the left, and he also had light blue eyes. And the son seemed to be 12-years-old, wore a dark green shirt under his black and gray jacket, blue jeans, and blue sneakers. He also had black hair that was combed up as he looked up at Toriel with his blue eyes.
Toriel: Oh? Hello, can I help you?
???: Hello, we need to talk. *The mother figure said as she stood, her voice light, yet stern*
The son looked down at Asriel who was looking up at Toriel before looking at the kid. Asriel waved at them, but the kid looked away quickly, prompting a bit of confusion into Asriel.
Toriel: Is something the matter?
Before the mother could speak, Frisk and King walked down the stairs and approached the door.
Frisk: Mom? Who is it?
Toriel: Oh, Frisk. *Steps aside, allowing Frisk to take a look at the family of 3 at the front door*
The moment Frisk laid eyes on the human family. . . She froze and tensed up.
???: There. She is what we need to talk about. . . *The mother said as she looks down at Frisk*
Toriel, Asriel, and King looked at Frisk. She however was still frozen stiff as she stared at the family.
King: Frisk? Is something wrong?
Frisk: . . . H-how?
???: Didn't think we'd find you, Frisk? *The father finally chimes in, a more deeper and coarse voice*
Toriel: Hold on please. What's wrong?
Asriel: *Walks over to Frisk and holds her* Frisk? Are you ok?
???: *The son looks at Frisk as Asriel holds her* Miss me. . . Sis?
Asriel's eyes widened as he looked over at the kid, stepping aside. Toriel and King were also in shock.
Toriel: Sis?
???: She never told you? How rude.
Frisk: . . .
Toriel: Frisk, dear? Who are they?
Frisk: . . . M-my. . . My old family.
Asriel: Huh?!
Frisk: The family I lived with before Mt. Ebott. . . My mother, Amelia. My father, Gerald. . . And my twin brother, Fergo.
No. Way. But it does make sense. Frisk had an old family, and she lived with them for the span of 10 years before she eventually took off for Mt. Ebott. Amelia, Frisk's mother. Gerald, Frisk's father. And Frisk's fraternal twin, Fergo.
Asriel: Wh-what?!
King: Twin brother? Old family?!
Toriel: Fraternal twin. . . *Looks back at Frisk's old family* But why are you here?
Amelia: It should be obvious. We're here to get our daughter back from your clutches! *She says as she slightly raises her voice, pointing at Toriel and stepping forward a bit*
Toriel stepped back a bit before putting her hands up and stepping forward at them.
Toriel: Please, let's calm down. We've already established Frisk as my daughter a year ago. We did the paperwork.
Amelia: Yeah?! Well we're taking her back regardless!
Toriel: I'm sorry? You can't. I am Frisk's mother now.
Gerald: And we're her actual family! She belongs to us! Not some monstrous creature like you!
Toriel: Excuse me?! *Toriel says as she raises and eyebrow*
Asriel: Hey! Don't speak to my mom like that!
Fergo: You replaced me for a goat monster, brother? How could you?!
Frisk: Hey, he's been more of a brother to me than you ever were!
Asriel: Frisk?
Gerald: Frisk! Don't you dare yell at your brother like that!
Frisk: *Steps back* He's not my brother! And you're not my family! Not anymore!
Amelia: Frisk. We're going home! *Starts stomping towards Frisk*
As Amelia started stomping her way towards Frisk, who was being hugged by Asriel and King, Toriel stepped between the two.
Toriel: I said no. Frisk is part of this family now. Now please, leave my house, and go! You are being very rude!
Gerald: Monsters like you deserve it!
Amelia: You all have been nothing but a hindrance and nuisance! Before the war and after you all returned! You all haven't changed one bit!
Toriel: What do you know about monsters?!
Gerald: Because. . . We were part of that war. When we sealed you all away!
That's right! Just like King's old family, Frisk's family was part of the Guardsmen. But unlike King's old family, Gerald and Amelia were top captains of the Guardsmen. They were responsible for taking out so many monsters back then. Though their powers and skills may have waned over the years, their hatred for the monsters hasn't.
Fergo: Now, give me back my sister!
Toriel: No. She is my daughter now. Now please. Leave.
Amelia: . . We're taking her back. *Clenches her fist. . . As Bravery flames spark* By force if need be!
Frisk: Oh no.
Toriel stepped back a bit, but still held firm in front of her children. Fergo stepped back as his two parents took point. Amelia's hands started to glow orange, she possessed a Bravery soul, meaning she had all its attributes and powers. Meanwhile, Gerald's right palm glowed light blue, as he conjured out a Patience string from it. He then cut it, as he pulled out a Patience whip.
Toriel and Kids: *Look in nervousness*
"Hey!"
All of them heard a voice shout at them in an authoritative manner. They all turned to the still open front door where they saw two figures approaching the house.
Undyne and Papyrus: *Walking up the house's pathway and towards the patio*
Undyne: Is there a problem here?!
Toriel: Officer Undyne, thank you for arriving.
Gerald: Another one.
Undyne: You two, stand down or I will be forced to arrest you! As Captain of the Royal Gua- I mean Chief Officer of the ECPD, leave this household.
Amelia: Officer, there's a mistake. She has-
Undyne: There is no mistake.
Papyrus: We saw you about to use excessive force against this family here! We witnessed it all!
Undyne: *Walks over to Toriel with Papyrus as they stand tall* Now leave. *Summons a spear* Before I'm forced to arrest you.
Papyrus: *Summons dual bones as swords*
The tension was high as the two parties looked at each other. . . Before Amelia and Gerald made their powers disappear.
Amelia: Fine. . . Sorry for the trouble.
Gerald: Come on, lets go.
Amelia scoffed at them as she and Gerald turned, guiding their son out of the house and towards their gray car, parked on the curb.
Fergo: But Frisk-
Gerald: Don't worry. *Waits until they're away and at the car* . . . We'll get her eventually.
The parents and son got in their car before pulling away and out into Ebott city. Meanwhile, Undyne waited and watched them leave. Both her and Papyrus concealed their weapons before turning back to Toriel and the kids.
Undyne: Are you all ok?
Toriel: Yes. . Thank you, Undyne. Papyrus.
Papyrus: You are most welcome, Lady Asgore! Nyeh heh heh!
Undyne: Who were those 3?
Toriel: *About to answer before stepping aside and looking back at Frisk, who has calmed down at bit and is no longer as tense*
Asriel: *Hugging Frisk before looking at Undyne* That was Frisk's old family. . . Her human family.
Undyne and Papyrus: WHAT?!/NYEH?!
Frisk: My old family. Amelia, Gerald, and Fergo. . . Keller.
Toriel: Who?
Frisk: Their last names. Keller. Amelia Keller. Gerald Keller. Fergo Keller.
King: Then. . . That would make you-
Frisk: No. . . Frisk Keller isn't my name anymore. But why now did they choose to try and take me?
Undyne: I don't know. When I get back to the station, I'll make a report on them. If you want, I can help you get a restraining order.
Toriel and Undyne chatted for a bit about the situation as Papyrus walked over to the kids.
Papyrus: Are you ok, Frisk? I know that was scary!
Frisk: I'm fine, thanks Papyrus.
Papyrus: Good. *Looks over at King* And. . . This must be your new brother.
King: *Looking up at Papyrus* Y-you're a skeleton? Who are you?
Papyrus: I am the GREAT Papyrus! Nyeh heh heh! You must be the new brother to Frisk and child Asgore that I've heard from Undyne! *Winks and sticks his gloved hand out* Nice to finally meet you!
King: N-nice to meet you too. *Reaches his hand out before Papyrus grabs it and starts energetically and "aggressively" shaking it* WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH!
Frisk: Papyrus! Please, be gentle with him! He's still getting used to his body.
Papyrus: Nyeh, right sorry! *Stops shaking King's hand* Sorry, just not used to seeing another monster that isn't me or my brother!

Papyrus: Sans, that lazy sack of bones. Nyehhh. *"Nyeh"s in a sigh*
Asriel and King giggled at Papyrus. But Frisk looked out to the door, still open. . . And where the Keller family once stood.
