Chapter 1

Back On The Trail

"SO what you're saying is Zipler's on our side?" Skiee asks questionly, I just explained all of a what happened to them 3 times now and they still don't think it's a good idea. I haven't told them about the whole "Zipler decided to change Skiee's SOUL wavelength to where she thought she had a crush on me" thing, it's mostly because Riku's there. Riku looks extremely tired, Zipler's warnings are still going through my head. If Riku's this tired after fighting Zipler, we're probably going to die horribly against this new threat.

"Yes, he says this threat is more powerful than him." I say, Phoenix is shaking her head as if she doesn't believe this.

"This seems all too much like a trap." Phoenix states, this is starting to get complicated. It would help if Asgore was here so I wouldn't have to explain it to him separately, but sadly he's in The Ruins talking with Toriel. Riku still looks out of it, like a drunk person would on a hangover.

"I know it seems like a trap, but trust me on this one. Zipler's telling the truth." I say, Phoenix still looks like she's in disbelief.

"I for one believe you." Skiee says, despite the fact we went through hell and Undyne's dead she still manages to be happy, weird.

"I wouldn't trust that guy if he broke the barrier, but I'm in." Sans says, everybody (expect Skiee and Riku) look a little uneasy. Papyrus nods his head as if agreeing with Sans. I've got 3 people on my side so far, 2 more to go.

"Anybody else?" I ask, Riku looks up at me and Phoenix is still shaking her head. Riku rubs his eyes.

"Sure, like anything else can't go wrong." Riku says bluntly, he walks beside me. All we need now is Phoenix.

"Phoenix, do you really think he'll ask for our help if he didn't need it? We all know he's even got standards he lives by." I state, Phoenix lets out a big sigh.

"Fine," She replies, she walks up until she's inches away from the little group around me. "But one suspicious action from him and we throw him out." She warns, I simply nod my head. I turn to the group behind me.

"Well, if we're to do any traveling or anything it looks like we would need some rest first." I state, looks like everybody (especially Riku) agree with me. We all walk to Sans and Papyrus's house, we all go to the resting places we had back when I had the vision. Nobody wanted to talk or really do anything else, they just wanted to sleep. I plop down on the couch, exhausted from the fight and all the walking.

I'm in a pitch black room with a kind of spotlight around me, I look around and see nothing else in the room. Suddenly a spotlight clicks on, in the middle of that spotlight is my brother Zipler.

"Have the others agreed to me joining your little band of heroes?" He asks, ending it off with a sour note as if he's not used to saying hero and me in the same sentence.

"Yes, but Phoenix doesn't really trust you." I state, Zipler sighs.

"They all need to trust me, if they don't we all could all burn along with the timeline." Zipler states, it seems his confidence has slowly been breaking since I killed him.

"Could you at least give me a hint about this threat, I need to at least tell them what they're up against." I say, I've basically been in the dark about this threat and it's about time I got some answers.

"Don't let Skiee touch the barrier, I don't care what happens." Zipler then teleports right in front of me. "You can't truly prepare for what's coming, only prevent it." Zipler continues, I asked him to give me a hint about the new threat, not scare me even more than I already am.

"Where are we anyways?" I ask, Zipler looks almost delighted by this question. He teleports beside me and puts his arm around me.

"I was able to manipulate your SOUL wavelengths to go into this little dream realm I'm always in, it's like a void between timelines. Many of us to have unfortunate glitched deaths have to live here, slowly going insane." He answers, he then walks off. After he's about 5 feet away from me he looks back, as if he suddenly realized something. "I guess I should leave you to your dreams, shouldn't I?" He asks, before I can answer he snaps his fingers and I start to dream normal dreams for once.

I wake up to the smell of pasta sauce, my stomach growls in response. I guess it has been awhile since I've eaten.
