After Frisk leaves the underground, she encounters Sans outside on blue territory. He does the handshake thing except it’s a hand buzzer and it nearly kills you by knocking your health down a good chunk. Convo starts. Depending on your shirt, Sans comments on it. Either, “Are you trying to get killed?” or “I see you’re sporting team colors. Nice choice.” He warns you about the reds. As you pass the spaced bars that Papyrus built so long ago (the wood is rotting), you notice that the snow starts to have a bluish tint. As if someone spray painted it or something. You hide behind the conveniently shaped lamp as his brother Papyrus comes up on neutral ground and tries to get Sans to join his side. Sans refuses, but offers his brother a deal. Join his side instead. Papyrus says no. The conversation may go something like this. 

“Brother.“

“Bro. Come to negotiate again?”

“Of course Sans, otherwise I wouldn’t be so close to Rebel territory.”

“So what’s it this time?” Sans asks, although he knows the answer is the same as the other hundred times. 

“Join the Merciless, and we’ll end this together.”

“How about you join team NotAFuckingMurderingSquad? We’ve got hot dogs.“ 

“But we have my delicious spaghetti!”

“Yes, but we’ve got Grillby’s.”

“That stuff rots your insides!”

“Kinda too late for that, bro with us being skeletons n’ all.”

“Don’t get smart with me, Sans.”

“It’s okay if you don’t got the stomach for it, more for us.”

Outside of a bush pops Mettaton, filming a scene for the underground equivalent of World Star. 

Papyrus initiates the battle and it goes  with Sans dodging and throwing these really lame attacks until a wild bone from Papyrus shatters the lamp. You’re exposed. Papyrus is shocked. He tries to attack but is too excited. “Oh my gosh Undyne will be so proud of me! A real human! The final soul!” He pauses. “And she’s wearing blue!” He stamps his foot angrily. “Nevertheless, I will capture you human.”

“A human!? Oh my goodness! My ratings are gonna soar!”

Sans bends down, picks up some snow and throws it at the camera, covering the lens. 

“Hey!”

He throws one at Mettaton, who is knocked back into the bush. 

Sans also chucks one at Papyrus, before yelling out for Frisk to run and meet him ahead. You pass a sentry station that has a couple of weird gadgets behind it, along with a few bottles of barbecue sauce.

So the human, Frisk, falls into the underground. (Frisk is a girl in this au and she’s 18, because no one’s gonna stop me from shipping Frans. ;3) This takes place in an alternate universe where it’s several years after UT Frisk would have fallen down. during this time, the Underground has basically gone to shit.

She runs into Flowey who mistakes her for a member of The Merciless because of her RED shirt, and initiates a battle. When he realizes that she’s a human, he makes her cover her shirt color with mud or something so no one from the Rebellion makes the same mistake.

Then he guides Frisk through the puzzles in the ruins. They’re either old and dusty from being out of use so long, or damaged from the war, or specifically designed for the opposing team. Flowey leads Frisk to Asgore so he can explain exactly how much danger she’s in, but instead of getting straight to the point, he offers Frisk Golden Flower tea and shares gardening tips. If the player accepts the tea, then that along with Asgore droning on and on about the perfect fertilizer puts the player to sleep. If not, then just Asgore.

The player wakes up in a child’s bedroom. There is more tea on the floor, which they can put in their inventory. There’s a box of clothes and they have the choice of either the RED shirt or the BLUE shirt which stays in their inventory. Afterwards, Frisk walks out to the living room where Asgore is attempting to replace Flowey’s soil with fertilizer. When he sees her, he stops. If the shirt is on, they both comment on it depending on the color. Flowey insists that Asgore just tell Frisk everything, and that he stop messing with his soil.

Asgore then tells this long tale of how the war started, he mentions W.D. Gaster and his plans to end the war, and Frisk gets excited. But Asgore mentions that Gaster was the only one who knew how to do it, and he disappeared after a freak accident. (Way different version of Gaster than canon.) He also mentions that Gaster had a partner, but nobody knew what happened to him either.
