Previously...

A girl named Alison fell into the Underground. After a week of trying to return from whence she came, she was felled by King Asgore Dreemurr, and her soul (Integrity) was taken. The soul was stored for later use. Using what remained of the girl's residual Integrity, the Royal Scientist created an assistant named Alphys in an attempt to facilitate the destruction of The Barrier, a magical force field that trapped all monsters in the Underground. However, the scientist discovered that Alphys portrayed a personality that was contrary to her soul, thus destroying the prospect.

Days later, three siblings fell into the Underground, searching for the already dead Alison. The youngest sibling, Sam Donovan was captured by the Royal Guard. Concurrently, the Royal Scientist, for no absolute reason, started to go insane...

Chapter Two: The Untrying

August 24, 2011

The king plunged his spear into Sam, twisting it before slowly pulling It back out. Sam winced, blood escaping his mortal wound. As he began to lose consciousness, he spent his last moments thinking about his entire life. He could only hope that Uri and Pas would go on without him. He fought to keep death at bay. His Perseverance didn't waver for second.

Sam, now laying on the ground, looked up at Asgore, and let the words come out of his mouth.

"Why... are you... doing this?"

"I need your soul to cross the barrier. Yours, and five other humans. I'm sorry, I really am, but I value the freedom of all monsters over everything else."

Sam, filled with disbelief and anger, spat at Asgore. He spent his last moments angry, but hopeful that him protecting his siblings saved their lives.

Asgore sighed in shame, disgusted with himself. I really am a monster, aren't I?

Gaster sat at his desk, slowly, but surely injecting Perseverance into the artificial soul. Now he just need to wait until tomorrow to bring his second creation to life. As he stood up from his seat, he turned to look at the loaded testing chamber. Inside it floated a new body, a new life to be made. It was a skeleton; it was nimble, male, and short in stature.

"Don't worry kid." Gaster spoke to the lifeless monster. "You'll be my son soon enough."

Gaster began to chuckle to himself as he took his coat and left the lab. On his left hand, he sported a bandage, covering a gaping hole.

"S-so how will we d-do this, Doctor?" Alphys asked nervously. She did not know how comfortable she was with giving life to... anything.

"Don't worry Alphys." Gaster said in reassurance. "This process will be simple. Put these gloves on."

The scientist handed his assistant cotton gloves that matched her skin color. Alphys blushed, embarrassed. She did not know how to feel about this. Flattered? Surprised? But really, Gaster was just handing her gloves. It was then that she noticed the bandage.

"Um... what happened to your hand?"

"Oh, this?" The scientist said, holding up his left hand. "It's nothing. I assure you."

After she put the gloves on, Alphys slowly opened the jar on the doctor's desk, and then took the hybrid soul safely in her right hand. She stumbled over to Gaster, who had already lifted the body up onto the table using blue magic (Psychokinesis). Alphys carefully held the soul over the monster body's chest, and then, daintedly forced the soul inside.

The skeleton awoke immediately, a startled expression on his face. He stared at the ceiling above him, unaware of where he was. He scanned his surroundings for a second, and then relaxed.

"Oh my god..." Alphys stated in awe. "Did w-we...?"

"Yes." Gaster replied. "We did. This was how you came to be Alphys. Now, we have ourselves another monster like you."

"What should we name h-h-him?"

"..."

Skeletons used to go by a font as their name (W. D. for example stands for the Wing Dings font). Gaster had a font in mind, but it slipped from his mind... Oh now he remembered.

"Sans."

Sans sat up, yawned, and then fell asleep on the table.

Private Entry #13

August 28th, 2011

The days sure do fly by, don't they? I feel like it was only yesterday that Alphys came to life. Speaking of my assistant, I promoted her to be the secondary scientist, just in case something should happen to me. I taught her almost everything I know, she can handle a day without me. Over the past week though, I have been examining her behavior. She has a monster soul of Integrity, but her personality suggests otherwise. I've went through all of my research, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not find a valid explanation for this. Alphys should be displaying this human trait... unless this amount of Integrity is somehow locked away.

I tried looking into this with my next creation, Sans. He is supposed to be displaying Perseverance. Contrary to the type of soul he has, all he has done since waking up is loiter, take constant naps, and hang around with Alphys for no apparent reason. This baffles me so. Regardless, Sans will now be my assistant. Until I can find a home for him, he'll be staying at Alphys's house. I came to visit her once, and while it is a mess, it will suffice.

...

If I'm going to figure out how to unlock my creations' hidden potential, I'll need to... Play ArouNd wiTh thE nexT tesT subJect. Or beTter Yet... cReatE potEntiAl...

September 1st, 2011

Asgore sat in his throne room, slowly regretting his life choices. He thought back to when his adopted daughter, Chara first came to his home. He remembered how happy his son, Asriel, was to have a sibling. He could see his wife's motherly smile. He missed his family terribly. If he ever had a second chance to prevent his predicament from happening, he'd take it.

Oh, if only he knew...

There was one flower in his garden that hid from him. A buttercup with a face, and cute facade, but malicious intent. It stared at Asgore, who did not appear to notice it. The flower, Flowey had no soul. He constantly infiltrated the castle to get news about Gaster's experiments. However, Gaster was nowhere to be found.

Oh well..., he thought as he vanished, disappeared into the ground.

"Hey Doc." Sans greeted Dr. Gaster. "Why did you call me again?"

"Sans, this is important." The doctor replied. He held out a syringe containing a blue liquid. "I need you to hold onto this." He handed the liquid to Sans, who safely stored it in his own lab coat.

"What is this stuff? And why not leave it with Alphys?"

"That is synthesized blue magic, straight from The Core."

Sans flinched. He remembered Alphys telling him about types of magic the other day. Blue magic is psychokinesis, much like the magic Gaster used on a daily basis. But why was he, of all people, the one obtaining this?

"Should a human arrive, inject yourself. It will come in handy."

"I don't understand. I... can't fight. All I ever do is read your books, nap, and assist you in your work. How the hell am I supposed to use this?"

Gaster didn't care. He was flipping through one of his previous medical files, looking for a way to make his next creation better than his last two.

"Fine. Don't answer. Look Doc, I'm not a fighter. I don't intend to hurt anyone anytime soon. So if you'll excuse me..."

Sans walked out of the lab, leaving Gaster to his work. Gaster had his motives. He didn't want his newest "creation" to get hurt. Alphys couldn't hurt anyone no matter how bad she wanted it to happen. But the scientist was there... he watched Asgore kill Sam, he saw the whole scene. Sans could be capable of harm if need be.

Gaster cared about nothing more than his work. That included his "creations".

September 3, 2011

Alphys found herself in a dream...

She was up on the surface, walking down the block. She looked down, finding herself with human legs. She looked at her hands. Human. She touched her face. It wasn't hers.

"Hey, Alison!"

A thirteen year old boy called to Alison from several yards away. He had a cheery smile on his face, genuine and polite. It was Sam.

"Hey Sam. What's up?"

"Nothing much. Ready to go on our trip?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be?"

Alison had her supplies stored in her backpack. Her's and Sam's families came from The United States. They visited this small town, Ebott, to learn about common Irish culture, and to climb the mysterious Mt. Ebott.

Alison leaned in to kiss Sam. He blushed in response. They had only been dating for a week.

"Golly Al..."

But then all of a sudden, she found herself in... King Asgore's throne room. She stood behind the king's throne, staring at a back door, leading to the barrier. She ran towards it, Integrity coursing through her veins. But then-

Alison felt a sharp pain in her back and torso.

GASP

Alphys awoke abruptly, fear in her eyes.

You may be wondering why Alphys and Sans are named after Alison and Sam. Gaster found out about their names.

You may also be wondering why Gaster is losing his mind. I will have to get into that issue in another chapter.

You may be asking how Alphys is able to pay for her house's rent. Gaster is paying for it.
