~Izabella's POV~
Its been an entire year since monsters came to the surface and so far its been peaceful. Normally my brother Vincent would explain all this, but he's in Washington DC with Frisk doing ambassador stuff. Right now I'm in school eating lunch with Asriel and MK, "So when will Vincent and Frisk be back?" Asriel asked "Tomorrow." I stated "I still can't believe its been an entire year since monsters joined the surface." MK added. Asriel and I nodded in agreement, "So Asriel are you visiting your dad today?" Asriel nodded "Yeah. Since its the spring time alot of flowers need to be plowed." "I never took you as a guy with a green thumb Azzy. Besides I thought you would go with Vincent and Frisk to Washington." Asriel blushed "Bella how many times have I told you NOT to call me that and mom said I should focus on school." I pretend to ponder at Asriels first comment, "I think maybe 20 times." Asriel sighs while MK chuckles. The school bell rung signaling everyone to go to class, "Back to the grind." MK says scratching his head (remember he got arms thanks to Alphys). Asriel and I nodded, we all then get up from our table, throw away our trash, and walked to our next class.
~Timeskip After school~
~Izabella's POV~
I wave goodbye to Asriel and MK as they got on the bus and left. It was always like this. They took the bus while I walked home and when I do I would think about my brother. I remember he always walked me to school and when he did we would talk about random things. Before I could make my way home I heard a familiar voice, "Hey Bellz." I turn around and I was surprised to see Vincent. I widen my eyes in shock, "Vince?". He nodded. Vincent wore a black zip-up hoodie with fur inside, a grey t-shirt, blue jeans, and black converses. I ran up to him hugging him, "I thought you would be back tomorrow?" "Frisk and I got alot of stuff done in DC so we came back today." We talked for awhile and afterwards I got in his car and went home.
~Vincent's POV~
As I drove home Izabella told me about her day and I told her about my time in DC. Frisk and I spoke to the government about initiating new laws for monsters. Specifically about monsters leaving the US, but the government wouldn't agree. They said that the world is still getting used to the fact that monsters live among humans despite it being only a year. It pissed me off a bit, but Frisk reassured me that one day they will agree. "We just need to be patient" as Frisk puts it. Bella and I arrived at home seeing our mothers car and Sandys, "Mom's home pretty early." "Yeah" Bella said. After parking my car we got out and entered the house. We instantly see my girlfriend sitting in the livingroom on the couch watching a Harry Potter movie, "Hey babe." I said. Sandy looked away from the TV, got up, walked up to me and kissed me, "Welcome home." I saw Bella roll her eyes while walking towards the kitchen, "Get a room." Me and Sandy chuckle then sat on the couch, "How's DC?" she asks "It was nice, wished you would have came with me." "You know I have work." "Yeah I know." "By the way, everyone's coming tomorrow for the party." "Cool. Its been a few weeks since I've seen them. It will be great."
~Timeskip Tomorrow at the Party~
~Vincent's POV~
The day of the party came and everyone was on their way. I was happy that I was getting to see my monster and human friends in one place. Sandy is upstairs taking a nap while I was helping mom cook. I was dressed in a grey and black flannel with a black t-shirt underneath, jeans, and high top shoes. "Vincent could you hand me the garlic and pepper from the spice cabinet." mom said "Sure." I turn around and summon my right orange cloak arm to stretch to the spice cabinet. I open it and reach for what my mother asked for. Once grasped I handed them to her and she laughs, "Couldn't walk 5 steps from the stove to the spice cabinet." I shrug "What's the point of having magic if I can't use it." We both laugh and we heard a knock at the door. I excuse myself to answer the door. Once opened I was met with the skele-bros and Gaster,
"HUMAN VINCENT IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" Papyrus greeted almost immediately pulling me into a hug. "Its been awhile kid" Sans gives me a grin and a lazy wave.
After being released from Pap's death hug I happily invited them inside. Papyrus wore red shirt, brown pants, and orange shoes. Sans wore a blue jacket with a white
t-shirt underneath, black shorts with white strips, and blue sneakers. The only thing that Sans wore different was the jacket and sneakers instead of his hoodie and
slippers. I mentally chuckle knowing Sans was to lazy to dress appropriately. Gaster wore a grey turtle-neck sweater and black pants with dress shoes. Papyrus went into the kitchen to help my mom cook while Sans sat on the couch after asking if he could watch TV with Gaster joining him. Izabella came downstairs from her room in a dress. She greeted Sans and Papyrus while I headed to the door when I heard knocking. Opening the door I see Toriel, Frisk, Undyne, and Alphys "Hello Vincent" Toriel greeted "Hey everyone glad you could come." I let them all in and Undyne asks, "Where's Sandy?" "She's upstairs taking a nap, but she's probably up now getting dressed." "H-how are y-you both doing?" Alphys asks. "We're doing awesome." "Have your human friends arrived yet?" Toriel asked. I shook my head "Not yet, but they will probably be here soon." Not to long Asgore and Asriel were at the door with Mettaton and MK who happened to arrive at the same time.
The sun was setting and mostly everyone has arrived except my human friends: Damian, Jack, and Thomas. I called them, but I got no answer from either of them which was weird. And whats even weirder Sandy hasn't come downstairs yet. I ask Izabella to go get her while I chatted with Sans, "So have you asked her yet?" "No" "And why not?" "I'm not sure if I'm ready yet." "Most people aren't." "How would you know that?" Sans shrugged "Just saying that its ok to be scared." "I liked to see you in my position." Sans chuckled and winked "Good thing I'm not" I roll my eyes playfully. "Do you at least have IT?" I nodded "I've had it for a good while." "Then you should go for it." "I'm waiting for the right moment." Sans was about to say something, but was cut off when Izabella ran down the stairs and yelled, "Vincent, Sandys gone!" I stand up "Gone? What do you mean gone?" "She's not in your guys room!" I didn't understand. Sandy couldn't have left the house cause I would have seen her left. I walk up the stairs to my shared bedroom with everyone following. The door was left open and when I looked inside Sandy was nowhere to be seen. However, there was somebody standing beside the bed. I growled summoning my orange sword and pointed it at the intruder, "Who the hell are you and what did you do with my girlfriend!?". The figure flinches and slowly turns to me. 'No way. He looks just like..' I thought as the figure's appearance became more clear, "Sans?" Said skeleton came up next to me "Uhh kid I'm right here." I look at him then at the other skeleton in the room. The Sans look alike has black paint on his right cheek. He has a blue pinprick in his right eye while he had a yellow star in the left. He wears a blue jacket with fur at the rim tied around his hips, brown long sleeves with blue lines and a light shirt, a giant brown scarf which practically touched the ground. He has a work belt crossing his chest with rainbow paint vials on it. His pants have the same color scheme as his sleeves and over them he wears light brown shorts. Instead of slippers this Sans wears sport shoes with a tiger print on the sides. Despite all that the strangest thing about the Sans look alike is that he holds a giant paint brush on his back. The skeleton had a sad look, "Oh dear, I was to late." "What are you talking about?" "Uhh do you think we could talk about this downstairs Vincent?" I was shocked "You know my name?" 'Sans' chuckles "Of course I do, how could I forget. You helped free monsters in this universe." I tilt my head in confusion and 'Sans' notices, "Don't worry I will explain everything."
~Everyone in the living-room~
~Vincent's Pov~
Everyone sat around the living-room ready to listen to the other Sans while he sat on the couch with a cup of tea Tori made for him, "First things first" he waved his left hand around while balancing the cup with the other. Magical dust appear around his hand and just like that everyone except me, both Sanses, and Bella were knocked
unconscious. I looked at the other Sans as he sipped his tea, "Sorry about that. What I'm about to tell the three of you is very secret and unfortunately they must not remember my presence." "Alright then. Tells us who you are and what happened to Sandy?" I asked. The other Sans sighed, "My name is indeed Sans, but I'm from another universe so call me Ink." We all nod "I'm here because the multiverse is in danger." "Multiverse?" Sans questioned "Whats that gotta do with Sandy being missing?" I asked "Its not just your girlfriend whose been taken?" "What do you mean?" Izabella asked "4 other humans have disappeared in this universe and I wanted to ask you if anyone you know has not been around lately." I think about it, but I don't think any of my friends are missing..wait a second, "My human friends: Damian, Jack, Thomas, and Joanna haven't arrived yet. Do you think they may have been taken too?" Ink nodded "Mostly likely if they are not here." "But how could they be taken?" Sans asked "Well theres this other Sans named Nightmare. He's the reason people have bad dreams. He must of dragged your friend's souls out of this universe and transported them to other AU's" "AU's?" Sans asked "Alternate Universes for short." Ink said "Why would he do that?" Bella asked "He was ordered to by Error Sans." "Error Sans?" I asked "He's a glitch in the multiverse. He's all kinds of evil. To him all the AU's are abominations and they should be destroyed." Ink abbreviates 'abominations' with his free hand. "Why?" I ask "He believes your universe should be the only one that should exist." "But why kidnap my friends?"
"Your guess is as good as mine Vincent. My plan was to gather humans who have 7 soul traits to stop Error and save the AU's. Error is dangerous and needs to be stopped. So Vincent, the question is, will you help me?" Ink sticks out his hand. Truth is I didn't want to go through another journey. My life was perfect the way it was, but once I heard Sandy and my friends have been taken my mind was instantly changed. I took his hand and shaked it, "I'm in." Ink grinned, but for some reason he threw up on the floor and the vomit happened to be ink causing me to let go of his hand in shock. "Sorry about that. It happens when I'm really excited." Ink scratched the back of his skull bashfully. He then took out an empty paint vial and used his magic to transport the ink on the floor inside the vial. We all stand up from the couch and make our way into the backyard.
~In the backyard~
~Ink's POV~
After heading into the backyard I pull out my paint brush and drew a magical portal. I turn to Original Sans, Vincent, and Izabella "Cool huh?". They all nod and I look at Vincent, "Now since your friends have been taken. I will look after Bella since she will most likely be Errors next target." Vincent nods and turns to Bella "Do you think you can stay with Ink for awhile?" Bella shrugs "If I have to. But why can't I come with you." "Its because your not trained for these kinds of things." I decided to step in their conversation "If you don't mind, I could train her." "Could you?" Vincent asks. I nod, "Sure I don't see why not. Before we get started Vincent you might need better traveling clothes." Vincent looks at his outfit, "I guess I could change." "Don't worry I'll take care of it." I wave my paint brush and magical ink surrounded Vincent. Soon a soft orange glow disperses the ink and Vincent had new clothes. He wore an orange leather jacket with a grey hood and a grey t-shirt underneath. He also wore dark jeans and black combat boots. Vincent takes a look at his new outfit, "Cool." I hummed a bit, "Somethings missing though." Izabella seems to notices, "Hang on a second." She runs back into the house and a few minutes later she came back. "Here Vince." Izabella hands him a red bandana and gloves, "I forgot about these." Vincent said as he wraps the bandana around his head and and puts on the gloves. I nodded, "Much better." "So what now?" Sans asked. I turn to Original Sans, "Well I'm going to transport Bella to my home where she will be trained. Once shes ready I will send her to wherever Vincent is. While shes training-" I look back at Vincent "-you will travel through the AU's your friends were taken to. Error may have more allies then just Nightmare." I tell Bella to step through the portal. She and Vincent said their "See you laters" and she obediently goes through the portal. I hated separating families, but its all for the greater good...I think. Once the portal closes I open another, "This portal will lead you to the first AU and I will accompany you. Sans I'm really sory for intruding in your universe." Sans shrugs "Its no skin off my back...then again I don't any." Everyone laughs at the cheesy joke. As I was about to step through the portal I remember something, "Oh I almost forgot" "What is it?" Vincent asked "I have something for you." "What is it?" "A gift. Sort of like a 'thank you' for setting monsters free." I wave my brush and magical black paint wraps around Vincent's left wrist. It disperses and an orange, black, and silver brace appeared on his left wrist, "Turn the dial counter clockwise then say 'Armor Change' and watch what happens." I say. Vincent nods and does as instructed. After hearing 3 small snapping sounds a flash of light covers his body. Once it dies down Vincent sees what happens. "A suit of armor?". The armor was orange, gold, and black "This journey is going to be alot harder then your last. The armor may look heavy, but its light enough for you to move freely. To undo the change turn the dial counter-clockwise." He does so and the armor fades away. Vincent turns to Original Sans, "Look after everyone while I'm gone ok?" Sans nods. They both shake hands and Vincent walks up to me, "I'm ready." I nodded and we both step through the portal.
