Me: The real story begins!

Bryce: Why is Asriel here? How did he end up here? What's for breakfast? So many questions to be answered!

Chapter 1: Wizard Showdown at The Dojo

Asriel woke up to a light seeping through the window. A calm warmth coursing through him. The rising and falling of Bryce's chest was still very inviting, but decided to start a new day in this new environment. One day, he is a god who nearly killed everyone he loves, only to be forgiven and given a second chance at life. And the next, he's asking strangers to sleep with him because he was scared that he would have another nightmare, truly pathetic he thought. I really am just a burden to everyone, I screwed up Chara's plan, I nearly kill Frisk, and now I've made Bryce worry about me, and I have just met him! He stared out the window eyeing the beautiful scenery outside. It was a beautiful day, it was presently warm was a autumn day, the tall trees around the village were gorgeous oranges and yellows, and the grass was very green due to past rain.

"Morning Asriel," Bryce said, eyes still closed. "Thinking about something, you're lookin deep in thought there."

"Wait, how can you see me? Your eyes are closed." Asriel asked.

"I can sense it, your magical aura is emanating self doubt and uncertainty. Is there something you want to talk about? From last night perhaps?

"I don't really want to talk about it with you…" Asriel responded with a sigh "I just met you and you wouldn't believe anything I told you."

"Well just know that I'm willing to listen to you. I was in a similar situation with Sis and my magic." Bryce reassured. "When she first found me, I wanted to keep my gift a secret, but as we began to trust each other more, I started to open up about my magic, and so did she. Also just saying, you DON'T want to get in a serious fight with her. Her spears do plenty of damage and I'm pretty sure she's holding back against me."

"Heh, she's the same way back home, always itching for a fight"

"Speaking of 'back home' what is that? You say you're from the Underground, but how is there another Undyne there as well?" Bryce wondered.

"Well, I don't think I'm from your Underground, if that makes any sense."

"Yeah, I understand what you're saying… Displacement magic is definitely possible, but very difficult, so that might not be the cause. I know someone who can get us answers though." Bryce pauses, "He goes by the name of W.D Gaster, he's a brilliant scientist who lives in the village, his assistant Sans spars with me and my friends, but he doesn't fight often, he's to lazy most of the time," Bryce explains.

Undyne, now Sans? Another one of Frisk's friends are on the surface here… Am I seeing a distant future? Alternate dimention? "I hope Gaster can get us some answers," Asriel responds, "I really am confused."

"Honestly, me too. I hope I can get you back to your family. We will go at around noon, he doesn't like visitors in the morning."

"So… what do we do in the meantime?" Asriel wonders.

"Well first let's eat something, then i'm going to the dojo to train, you can come if you want. You're a monster, you might have some magic."

"I think I do…" Asriel says, focusing slightly. A few moments later, a small, multicolored ball of flame appears in his right hand, it shines beautifully for a few seconds before disappearing with a grunt from Asriel. "Sorry I couldn't keep it up for long, Mom said I would learn to control it as I got older...:" Asriel said sadly.

Meanwhile Bryce looks on in shock, his jaw practically hitting the floor. "T-that's a Rainbow Fire… Only the strongest monsters and royalty can have that power…" His eyes widen at the realization. "Are you the REAL Asriel Dreemurr?" That and he realizes that he had just slept with a thousand year old dead monster prince.

"Uh… I guess I am?" Asriel gives a shrug and shy nod.

"M-my apologies your highness" Bryce apologizes, now out of bed and kneeling down to the small goat. "I shouldn't have been addressing you with more respect than that… please forgive me."

"N-n-no please don't treat me as royalty!" Asriel stamers quickly, "Please just call me Asriel."

"I'm sorry your hi- I mean Asriel." Bryce corrects himself, "I should have known that someone your age hasn't embraced the royal blood within him… Speaking of which, how old are you?"

"Physically, I'm 9, but in reality, probably centuries, but my mind is still 9" Asriel explains. "And you?"

"I'm not quite sure… but it's been 14 years since Undyne found me, and I was REALLY young when she did find me so… I guess i'm 14 and a little bit. But enough about us, i'm practically starving. I'm sure you are too."

Right on que, Asriel's stomach rumbles, prompting a heavy blush from the monster. "Yeah let's just go…" Asriel says thoroughly embarrassed.

In the kitchen, Undyne was already cracking eggs for an omelette. For someone who almost burns down the house every time she cooks, the result is surprisingly good. Bryce jokes that she should make a cooking show called "Hell's Kitchen" but she says that's already a thing.

"Sup sis, fry us up a couple of omelettes for the two of us will ya?"

"Yeah whatever punk, but first…" she pauses the whisking of some eggs. "WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU FIND THE CUTE GOAT MONSTER" she suddenly booms.

"Well, it's a uh... Long story" Bryce stamers.

"No need to explain, I heard most of the conversation last night, speaking of which, Asriel right? Your eyes are a bit puffy from the cryin', so you should go wash your face." Undyne explains.

"Oh yeah sure," Asriel abloges. He walks down the hall to the bathroom, a large, white tile sink and counter greeting him. He dips his hands in the cool, running water and splashes himself in the face, grabbing a nearby towel and drying off. However as he looks himself back in the mirror, the black ooze that he saw in his nightmare was rolling down his face from his eyes and mouth…

Asriel yelps in fear and jumps back, hitting his head on the wall behind him, prompting a whimper in pain. No I'm not going to cry, I'm going to be strong for Bryce and Undyne. I wasn't strong with Chara or Frisk, so this is another chance to make it right. I won't jump at my own shadow again, I will face my fears! His eyes now filled with DETERMINATION.

"HEY PUNK! YOU ALRIGHT, I HEARD A BUMP OR SOMETHING FROM THERE" Undyne yells from the kitchen, or was it her normal voice?

"Y-yeah im fine." Asriel responds.

Undyne gives him a toothy grin "Breakfast is served your majesty" she says with a bow. No! Not her too... Bryce looks on, a squint of suspicion crossing his face.

The omelette was really good balance of the egg, ham and cheese for a nice, filling, savory bite. Asriel eats all of it in seconds, while Bryce still looks at the distracted goat with a bit of suspicion. He had a pretty traumatic nightmare… and now mirrors… He thinks as he starts to put the pieces together. I not going to bring it up though… he seems shaken up as is. "I gonna go to the dojo, wanna come Asriel?" He gives a nod in agreement. "Then let's head out, after we will go to Dr. Gaster's."

It's a surprisingly warm day in the Sycamore Village, it was often this way in the large clearing that the village was built on. Passerby waved to the duo, sometimes commenting on Asriel's cuteness, causing him to blush profusely. No one bat an eye at the new, fluffy monster though, or commented that they hadn't seen him around.

"Lots of people pass through here on their way to Mt. Ebott to rest and replenish their supplies. Speaking of Ebott, you said you were from there right?" Asriel gives a hopeful nod, "Well, it's a tourist attraction now, the legend died down over the generations. The road there is treacherous so making it to the top is considered something you have to do before you die."

"My lifetime wish was to climb to the top and look down on the Surface world, but I guess that isn't special now is it…" Asriel sadly said with a sigh. "It's a dumb wish I know…"

"No! It's not dumb at all! Considering you have never seen the sky until yesterday, thats a very valid wish." Bryce reassures.

The dojo was an old looking wooden building with a pyramid like roof. There were no walls, only a few pillars scattered along the outer rim. Someone was already there in the middle arena, preparing to launch a thunderbolt at a wooden dummy.

"Yo Justise! How you been!"

"Sup Bryson! Who's the goat-bro?" Justise responds, pulling Bryce into a bro-hug.

"Oh, it's just a friend passing through" Bryce answers with a wink towards Asriel.

"Howdy! I'm Asriel" Asriel says with a friendly wave.

"How you doin' goat-bro, I'm Justise, clearly the best mage in the village" Justise says with a confident handshake.

'Woah! That sounds like a challenge!" Bryce's eyes lighting up.

"Yeah it is! First to get a clean hit, what are we putting on this?"

"10 bucks sound good?"

"10 bucks AND you have to go drink my mom's 'Death Blossom' sauce."

"Oooo… that's dirty… alright! Your on!"

The two wizards move to opposite ends of the field, a circle, about 20 feet in diameter, so there was plenty of room to maneuver. Asriel sat on a nearby bench, and picked up a nearby shield, he might be needing it with all the magic flying around.

"Wait!" Asriel yelled suddenly, "Won't the dojo burn down if you're going to be throwing fire around!"

"Don't worry! The wood has magical properties embedded in it. It won't catch on fire!" Bryce reassured.

"Enough talk Bryson… let's throw down!"

(Music: Stronger Monsters)

The two circled each other, trying to size up the opponent. Justise is a pretty strong melee fighter and will want to get in close with Lightning Blades, so I need to keep him away…

Suddenly a lightning bolt strikes from above, Bryce able to dodge to his left, but this is what Justise wanted, as he rushes in with a Lightning Blade. Bryce caught off guard, has to deflect the blow with his own Inferno Blade, then pushing him back with a blast of heat.

"You gettin' a bit slow there B?" Justise taunts.

"Nope, I was just warming up"

Bryce launched a large, smoldering fireball at Justise, who prepared to dodge, but at the last moment he detonated the ball, causing smaller embers to surround the opponent. So I'll trap you with Flame Wheel so I can force you to use your ranged attacks! With the opponent trapped, Bryce sent out a flurry of flames towards Justise, with limited room to dodge, he was forced to counter with his own lightning bolts, which took more energy to cast. I need to tire him out, make him make a mistake… Bryce continued the assault, mixing up the speeds of the blasts to keep the opponent guessing. Justise continued to deflect the blasts with his own, realizing that he wouldn't be able to keep it up for long.

Asriel watched in awe, captivated by the trading of blasts. When I go home, Mom's going to show me how to do some cool techniques! So I can fight with Bryce and Justise! Asriel quickly saw flaws in this statement. 1. He probably will never go back home and 2. If he were to get back home somehow, he would have to leave the two behind. Asriel sighed at the realization.

"You know, you have gotten a lot better, but what I will do next will be shocking" Justise says, panting.

"Oh jeez, we're both turning into Sans aren't we?" Bryce responds with a chuckle.

"With Doc's help, we were able to awaken my Special Attack."

"Special Attack?"

"Our souls can be comprised of 6 key morals. These can be used to enhance are magical powers!" his right eye suddenly turned a powerful orange. "My souls main value, is BRAVERY."

"Wait, Justise… main power is Bravery… alright," Bryce responded, bewildered.

Before he could say anything else, Justise rushes through the fire, right arm and eye glowing a bright orange with blinding speed. Bryce is forced to put up a solid Firewall to stop the Bravery charged blow. His speed and power is greatly increased, but his stamina has to be running low, I need to get a quick hit off, and fast. Maybe I can get a powerful attack to land if he's tired...

With a new plan of attack, Bryce releases the wall, sidestepping while doing it. As a result, Justise's momentum flings him forward, almost ringing himself out. He then starts charging his electric magic into his right arm, now crackling with Bravery and lightning magics he rushes for Bryce again. He's combining his lighting to the mix! This is my chance! He waited for the moment Justise was about to strike him and then casted his trap.

"Fire Mirage!"

His physical body was replaced with a spinning cone of fire. With his momentum too great, he was trapped in the cone. The spinning fire turned the electric energy against him, burning his arm as he yelled in pain.

"Stop! Stop! I give!" Justice announces as he realizes that Bryce had got him stuck.

Bryce reappeared next to Asriel on the bench, who yelped in surprise. He then gave round of applause, thoroughly entertained by the spectacle he had just witnessed.

(Music Stop)

"Good game. I thought I you had me there." Bryce said, clearly exhausted.

"Same, I thought I could end the fight by combining my two powers, but you turned them against me,"

"don't beat yourself up about it" a monotone voice from seemingly nowhere said.

Suddenly a short, blue sweater clad skeleton appeared in the middle of the arena. Still proudly wearing his pink bunny slippers. "that was very impressive bryce, but…" Sans paused. "you have a special attack as well."

Me: That was my first action scene, hope it wasn't terrible.

Bryce: Nah, that's a pretty good description on what happened.

Sans: oh yeah, i'm here now sorry to cut in. *takes out a pair of scissors, prompting a "boo" from Bryce

Me: I'm just going to end this before it begins...
