Undertale: Familiar Faces
Chapter One: Lost Feelings
After the events under the surface, peace between the monster race and the human race has blossomed once again. After many years of diversity, the races of monsters and humans were finally able to make peace and live together in harmony. However, there was a certain monster that is followed by a certain dark cloud…
Undyne had just returned home from work as a police officer in Florida one night, wearing a black leather jacket, a white t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a pair of red boots, and carried a black duffle bag over her shoulder, as she arrived home, as she entered through the threshold, noticing that the lights were out.
"Alphys must not be home." She shrugged, as she tossed the duffle bag to the side "Who knows how long it'll be before she comes back from the lab."
After the monsters emerged onto the surface, Alphys had received a job as head researcher at the research facility in Florida, while Undyne got a job as a police officer, living with Alphys to help pay the bills. But something has been bothering Undyne for quite some time. She has a brand new roof over her head, a loving girlfriend, great friends, a good job, but there was something that she had kept buried for quite a long time.
She walks over to the closest bookshelf and pulls out a large book, with a photo of herself and her friends on the cover, and opened it. On the first page were several photos of her and Frisk sitting together with Sans at Grillby's, another of her and Papyrus cooking, even another photo of her and Asgore training when they were younger. But there was one photo that stood out from the others that made Undyne frown: a picture of Undyne and a familiar humanoid fish monster, who appeared similar to Undyne, only his scales were white with black stripes, with dark black and bright white fins on the sides of his head and had white clean sharp teeth, dark golden eyes and black hair. The two stood together, Undyne and the stranger holding each other in a loving hug.
"Azza…" Undyne whispered silently, remembering him fondly "How long has it been since we last saw each other?"
"I'm home!" Alphys called, opening the door.
"Alphys!" Undyne responded, quickly closing the book and putting it back on the shelf "How was work?"
"Pretty good, actually." Alphys beamed, setting some documents on the table "We've made quite the breakthrough in medical science! We'll be able to fully cure cancer by next week!"
"That's…awesome." Undyne said halfheartedly.
"There's no time to waste!" Alphys declared proudly, picking up her notes "I must continue my research!"
And with that, Alphys gathered her documents and made her way to her personal lab, leaving Undyne alone to her thoughts.
"As happy as usual now, Alphys." Undyne chuckled to herself "I like this new you."
After that, Undyne pulled the photo album out again and gazed at the photos, mostly the ones with her and this Azza character, some where they were young, playing on swing sets, and even one where they were on their first date. Such fond memories brought tears to her eyes.
"Oh Azza," Undyne sniffed, wiping the tears from her eyes "Why did it have to end the way it did?"
But she then wiped her face clean, as she slammed the book shut.
"Pull yourself together, Undyne." She growled to herself "He betrayed Asgore. Azza chose his path and he chose poorly. Now he rots in hell for his crimes."
Despite this, she couldn't help but let the tears pour down her face. She trusted Azza, and was there for him after his parents passed. But afterwards, he began to show signs of losing the man he once was. When the two started dating, Azza was a kind hearted, strong willed character, with a strong sense of justice and a happy personality. But after serving an impressive time in the royal guard, he began to show terrible changes, after he murdered a human that dared to venture into the underground. He went silent most of the time, a sense of heartlessness emanated from him, as he killed potential threats without a second thought, it made Undyne uneasy. It only got worse, when he somehow went to the surface and massacred an entire kingdom, including the villagers, and the king that had executed his father. Azza was then arrested for genocide, but soon escaped. And then there was an incident involving Azza's assassination attempt against Asgore. Despite her best efforts to save Azza from this path, Azza was dead set on killing Asgore, even though his purpose was vague, Undyne chose her duty to protect Asgore, and was forced to toss Azza out the window, as he plummeted to his doom, despite her attempt to save him. After such a tragic loss, Undyne distance herself from almost everyone, except for maybe Asgore, Alphys and Papyrus. But deep down, she was torn up about it.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Wiping her eyes clean and straightening herself up, she picked up the phone.
"Hello?" She asked.
"UNDYNE!" Papyrus' voice is heard "IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN! WHAT'RE YOU UP TO?!"
"Just… thinking back on old memories." Undyne shrugged, pushing the thoughts of Azza out of her head "Anyways, what's up?"
"OH, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!" Papyrus declared happily "FRISK AND ASRIEL ARE ANNOUNCE SOME IMPORTANT NEWS THIS SATURDAY! OH, I BET IT'LL BE BIG!"
"Oh, that's interesting." Undyne mused "I wonder what it might be…"
"ANYWAYS, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU'D BE ATTENDING." Papyrus continued "IT'D BE NICE IF YOU AND ALPYS COULD ATTEND."
"Actually, Alphys will be busy researching a cure for cancer."Undyne explained "But I'll definitely be there."
"WONDERFUL!" Papyrus cheered "I'LL LET THE OTHERS KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!"
And with that, the call ended, leaving Undyne to her thoughts.
"Hopefully, it's good news." She mused, before frowning "I wonder if they remember Azza."
She goes back to looking at the photo album, looking at the old photos of her and Azza. She can't help but miss the man she once loved.
"Some men's minds can be corrupted by darkness." Undyne sighed "Azza was a great guy, but he lost himself in the end. And besides, I've moved on."
She had hoped to put these thoughts away, as she looked out the window, gazing at the night sky.
"I look forward to seeing Frisk again though." Undyne sighed, trying to take her mind off of Azza "It's been five years, since we last saw her. I wonder how Sans will react?"
Putting her thoughts aside, she decides it's best to rest for the next day.
Meanwhile, however, a cloaked figure walked down the streets, as he bumped into a passerby.
"Hey!" The passerby growled "Watch where you're going, creep!"
The stranger halted, turning his hooded head slightly, his left eye glowing with golden intensity, causing the man to sprint away in fear. The stranger resumed his walk, walking down the sidewalk.
