âAlright.â Red said after he understood. âBut you have to stand in between us, Boss. I donât want any sudden attacks. You know I canât take a hit like most monsters.â
Edge nodded. âThat was my intention from the beginning.â
âHumans are weird thatâs all Iâve gathered from this.â Edge said, shaking his skull. âWhy would you evolve to become weaker?â
âYou never know bro.â Red said. âOur evolution could have been even weirder. Maybe somewhere along the line we are related to humans?â
âHmm,â Edge said. âIt would have to be quite far apart. They donât even dust they just bleed and rot. Iâm guessing we are related to a human about as much as a pineapple is.â
Skelly Demora took a deep breath knowing sheâs have to explain this to Edge since Red is smarter than he lets on, before letting it out in a long and short simply explanation to Edge hoping heâd be able to keep up. âNot quite you see back millions and millions or billions of years ago our world was just formed and still new, since then gravity and all that was still working and much more on all life so when âchangeâ began to happen it caused lots of changes or chain reactions and replacements. In short lots of sacrifices and major changes to having to adapt to those changes, such as losing might and strength to being replaced/adapted to having magic tools or weapons instead. As for body structure weâre not so different from you Edge and Red, the difference is skin and weâre not hunched over still crawling on all fours like apes or chimps and weâre a lot more intelligent millions and billions of thousands years laterâŚâ
âYes but we donât bleed unlike you humans.â Edge blinked. âWe have magic and less determination. I do recall someone saying you have skeletal structures inside you that look similar to us but the fact of the matter is we donât bleed. We have no organs. How closely related can we be?â
âWhen a human dies all that remains is the body and eventually over time and some decaying, all youâll see is the skeleton thatâs left behind which in itself is identical to yourselves weather itâs male or female the only difference is the skull size and pelvis shapeâŚâ Skelly Demora trying to make Edge see and hear more on the similarities and some of what was left on the differences, which in her words would seem to be working now that sheâs fully explained.
âThatâs paculiar.â Edge said. âBut apes also have a similar bone structure and they bleed the same as you. It is rather confusing but I donât understand how you can claim a magic-based creature is more closely related to a human than say any other surface creature. Although there are similarities. Maybe itâs something like⌠Sans, whatâs that word for bugs that evolved to look like bees?â
âYou mean Batesian mimicry?â Red asked.
âYes that. So we donât share that close of an ancestor to humans but since we were living along side them we evolved to look like their corpses for self-protection? So they stay away from us?â
Red couldnât help chuckle at this whole conversation. âThatâs a bit of a stretch bro. A creative idea but no evidence to back it up. But I think you both have valid arguments. Thereâs similarities and differences between humans and different monsters. And itâs be interesting to research. But I think getting out of the underground is a little more of a prority right now.â
âYes and heâs half right to Red somewhere in the DNA thereâs a little Batesian mimicry, but no weâre not insects either and if youâd like and this is a long stretch.â She said pulling out a photo of her younger self before she was captured and hands it to Edge and Red, as she tells them that that was her when she was 13 years of age when she fell in her AUâs version of the Underground. âThatâs when I was still alive and still a humanâŚand now you see how similar I look to you both now, as for Red there are two types of skeletons with his height. Theyâre called dwarves or pygmy skeletons Reds more on the Dwarfism side since heâs near the 5f mark for being 4'9 or 4'8 or soâŚâ She shrugged smiling seeing edge was probably laughing a bit from her making a little joke about Redâs size.
âAh hey! I ainât no dwarf or pigmy anything!â Red huffed crossing his arms. âAnd we arenât the only monsters similar to humans you know! Not by a long stretch. I think a majority of us are bipedal.â
âI donât care how closely or further we are related to humans we are.â Edge said after a smirk at his brotherâs reaction. âHumans havenât been able to coexist with their same species a lot of the time according to what little we know of their history. I think that war is inevitable and we must prepare for it.â
âWell thatâs because of ethics and other differences and unfair treatment that war ensues, as well as other issues and problems that made it more bloody which I find to be either welcoming or very stupidâŚâ Skelly Demora said crossing her arms now thinking back to all those lessons in history in school growing up, as she shuddered and scoffed at the idea of war now when thinking back on it. âI just find it stupid even if there was or wasnât a cause for it most were for stupid reason and others were from manipulation to only benefit only themselves from others misery or misfortunes⌠Anyways I think itâs time to go break the barrier Frisk and Nicole are probably already there waiting for us, so Iâll get Demarus ready as well as myself since weâll probably need to start packing up stuff l. As for a new home for the monsters and myself I found a forgotten village that can be used, since youâll all need a place to settle down and plan ahead on things for a whileâŚâ
âHow?â Edge asked. âYou mean in the other AU. I guess there does tend to be the same sort of buildings in other worlds so hopefully it is there in this world too. Do you really think you can break it on the first shot?â Being optimistic was good but Edge just couldnât do it in a world like theirs. And even if they broke the barrier how long would it take for humans to find out? He just wasnât sure. There was no way they would be happy to find out the news of their reemergence
âI do believe that we got a shot or two since thereâs Frisk and Nicole as well as myself here to do this, just in case weâd need extra power or strength to finally shatter the barrier to freeing monster kindâ. Skelly Demora said feeling this should work even if there were to be any sort of complications, as sheâd do her best to help out as much as possible to ensure that the barrier is broken. âYes thereâs a village there and I highly doubt that the humans would even come there, since itâs at the base of the mountain and with the rumors of going to the mountain that you never return from still talked about I doubt youâll have any visitorsâ.
âAlright then.â Papyrus said. âIf thereâs any way we can help we will too. âIâm not sure if we should let everyone know whatâs going on though. It may put the humans at risk of being attacked.â Monsters in the underground werenât all kind and understanding here
âWell they will be once the king hears whatâs going to take place, then heâll have no choice but to issue an order for the Frisk and Nicole not to be touched or harm. You and Undyne will accompany us on the way to Alphys then the king that way no one will be be tempted to try and attack, since you and Undyne are feared and respect if they with to keep what lives they have for this.â She said knowing well enough of their statuses that no one would be willing to try anything fishy if they want to leave the underground, since both humans and her soul along with the other 6 human souls should be highly enough to be able to brake the barrier. âAnd if thereâs trouble I could always give an intimating hand, since my magic can help boost or support others including Redâs magic too due to still having have half a human soul trait that darkened over time.â
âDo you really think king Asgore will be that kind and understanding?â Edge huffed. âAlthough the humans do possess some kind of charm that seems to have worked so far⌠the King May be different. I guess we will just have to see how this plays out.â He had been surprised with Undyne soâŚ
âYes I do believe heâll have no choice to do so if he wants to be free plus it will be good for Queen Toriel to get out and about more, since she always feeling awfully lonely in those ruins and I do remember promising her that me and the humans wouldnât forget about herâŚâ She said sighing softly now since this plan was going to be one hell of a doozy of one thing goes wrong, but it shouldnât be if they can convince King Asgore of the plan to free the entire underground and well as secure them a place and base of operations once out of the mountain.*
âI guess itâs good to be optimistic.â Edge shrugged a little. âBut we should also have a plan if things go south.â
âI can uh- teleport the humans away if necessary.â Red offered. âTheyâre small enough.â
âPlus I can give Red a boost of magic since it take alot to shortcut and since there are some time limits for how long he has wait, till he can do another shortcut again if things are a bit dicey to where he shortcuts to so Iâd be helping out more in aiding, supporting, and defending. But itâll hurt for a momentâŚâ Skelly Demora said as she grabbed Redâs hand as he soon felt a sudden shocking sensation to his soul, as his soul gets a sudden and slight power/magic boost thatâs non-lethal of course so he could keep going if needs to.
âWell Sans?â Edge asked Red.
âI feel more energized.â Red said. âStill lazy though heheh.â
âWell thatâs not something that curable now is it? Enough chit chat. Letâs go get that gate open now then.â
âUmmâŚ.Red go look in a mirrorâŚI think I may have accidentally fixed your other eye, or did you always have two red eyes but were hiding them from me and Edge just to conserve magic?â Skelly Demora asked after she had let go of his hand and seeing his other eye sockets was lit up red, which it was now instead of being blacked out lit up which shocked her greatly seeing it lit up.
âWait are you serious?â Red touched his eye socket as if that would solve the mystery. âHow could you? Thatâs been gone for years-â he didnât even know what to think. He just never expected it wouldnât ever heal. He felt like maybe he should be thankful but really he was just shocked more than anything
âYeah Iâm dead serious Red here hold on I'mma go and grab my compact mirror from my bag, that way you can see for yourself instead of poking your eye out again if thatâs how you lost it in the first placeâŚâ Skelly Demora said as she went right to her handbag that she asked Demarus to hold onto for her, as she grabbed what she was looking for she then opened it up to the mirror section of the compact make-up slot and held it up to Red.* âSee you have two eyes instead of one now!â
âWhoa thatâs amazing.â Red said. He blinked and looked in the mirror. âThanks. Now I can be slightly less scary to the humans maybe.â If he got out of here now with his healed eye it would be like a new beginning.
âWell thatâs good but donât say your too scary because a walking skeleton is always considered unnatural, since the only skeletonâs the humans have seen are those buried, in x-rays of a living human, and plastic decorations for Halloween.â She had stated to him chuckling softly, when realizing she had made a holiday pun or joke about skeletons when sheâs one herself.*
âYeah I knowâ Red chuckled. âAt least Iâm not big unlike my bro. Never thought Iâd say that in my whole life. Finally not being intimidating will pay off.â
âDont relax yet Sans,â Edge said. âWe still may need to intimidate the humans depending on how this goes. Anyway donât think this is a excuse for you to do pranks to âease the tension.â If humans are smart at all they will be just annoyed,â
âJust annoyed is better than being terrified Paps.â Red smirked.
Edgeâs left eye socket twitched a little. âLetâs just go.â
âYour both correct on the subject but yes we meaning the humans since I used to be one are quite smart, but weâre also quite somewhat adaptive when it comes to change and some can be quite âhumerusâ and âpunnyâ just like most monsters and Red here too.â
*Skelly Demora said smiling softly as she got Demarus and the humans all set and pack to leave, as she held Friskâs and Nicoleâs hands while her and Demarus carried backpacks of supplies for Red, his brother, and the humans to head for King Asgore after stopping by Undyneâs place*
âAlrighty then first stop is at Undyneâs so we have extra hands and more authoritive power so that the other monsters donât get âANYâ ideas, I may also enlist Chillby(Grillby) as well since they seem to have a very dark intimidating gazes and feel about them plus they owe my a favor because of greater dogâs littleâŚ. âincidentâ with my last handbag for stealing treatsâŚâ
âOh great.â Red said. âBoss you knock on the door.â He knew she was acting a bit differently with the human children but he still was not comfortable with her. Actually, the change of attitude kind of freaked him out more. âWhat happened with greater dog?â He asked Skelly Demora.
Edge knocked on the door and waited for undyne to answer. He didnât care for wasting time or stories. The dogs were always a pain to him too. He didnât really care to hear about them. Or Chillby. Of course Sans would care though since he hung around the bar
âWell Red remember when I said that Greater dog stole my handbag for the treats? Well it was a very expensive bag and in my AU is worth more, then whatever Chillby and Muffet can or have charged for things in yours and Edgelordâs universe.â
Skelly Demora stated before speaking up again to explain the damages that Greater dog did to it, while also explaining why my attitude is different some I had noticed Red staring at me suspiciously.
âIâve been noticing that your staring at me suspiciously Red is it because of how I at to children or human children, and if so itâs because I am both envious and yet empathetic to âa childâ no matter if monster or human since I was and am both in the past human child and now the present an adult monster hybridâŚâ
âSo truthfully am nervous and yet brave to see how things work out, as well as how I and my son will be treated once weâre all up there on the surface since all endings are different or vary in the many AUâs of the multiverse.â
((Oof sorry I was talking about Undyne
((lol itâs okay at least she explained what happened to greater dog and her handbag. You can start from there if you like))
((Iâm a bit confused what does greater dog have to do with chillby? Like why would he have to pay her back. Is he not just a customer
((Heâs seen there playing doggy poker/Red Dogs poker in the place and as for how the greater dog caused a disturbance and if Iâm correct, Chillby he doesnât like any kind of disturbances or losing money/customers and Skelly Demora was gonna leave after asking for a refund if she bought anything or to replace what was damaged that belonged to the customer))
(I guess that makes sense although idk if the owner would be responsible if one of their customers caused damage to another customers property. I wonder how that works. Anyway sorry am I playing Undyne now?))
((if you want to Iâm not that good at Fell UndyneâŚ. I can only pull off a Undertale Undyne))
((Ok
âThat isnât reassuring knowing how cheerful the other worlds sound in comparison to ours.â Undyne said through clenched teeth. âHow strong are they? I know there are many of them but maybe if we strategize we can take them all down.â
âLetâs not get too excited.â Red said. âEven if this might be a less cutesy universe where monsters live in harmony, thereâs a chance the humans arenât like that. And attacking them will just make things worse.â
âOf course youâd say that you lazy coward,â The head of the Royal guard growled at the shorter skeleton in frustration.
