The monster's appearance was similar to that of Frisk's friend Monster Kid, who was an armless lizard-like monster, except this monster was gray while Monster Kid was yellow. It also had empty eyes without pupils. The monster started firing magic bullets similar to the ones that the monsters underground had fired at Frisk. The human ducked, jumped, and ran out of the bullets' way and then asked Chara, "Who is this monster?"
Chara replied, "I have no idea. I never saw it during my time in the Underground."
"Who are you and why are you attacking us?" Frisk asked. The monster said nothing, but launched another barrage of bullets at everybody. After dodging them, Frisk yelled out, "Stop attacking us! We're your friends!" The monster cast some more magical bullets. Frisk dodged most of them, but took a few hits to the torso. She screamed and fell to the ground.
"HE IS COMING!" The monster shouted.
"Who's coming?!" Frisk asked, standing up and wondering what the monster was talking about. The monster launched another barrage. Frisk jumped over one burst of bullets and ducked under another. "YOU ARE ALL GONERS!" exclaimed the monster.
The monster summoned several smaller versions of itself. They fired magical bullets as well. It was getting harder for Frisk to dodge them all. "Do you ever wonder what it's like to not exist?" The monster asked.
During the next barrage, Frisk took a few more hits. She was hurt badly. She fell to the ground, bleeding. "This is it. This is how I die." She thought to herself. "It's been an honor, Chara!"
"Fear not, human! The Great Papyrus's spaghetti will make you good as new!" Papyrus shouted as he tossed some of his infamous spaghetti to Frisk. Monster food had a healing quality and could indeed heal Frisk, as it had already done during her journey through the Underground. However, Papyrus's spaghetti was the worst food Frisk had ever tasted. No one had the courage to tell Papyrus just how bad it was. Frisk gagged as she took a bite out of the spaghetti. Her wounds instantly healed, but the taste of the spaghetti was awful.
"Frisk, I have an idea." Chara said. "Try feeding the rest of that awful spaghetti to that monster. With luck, it should go back to… wherever it came from."
"Brilliant idea, Chara!" Frisk said as she threw some spaghetti into the monster's mouth. The monster let out a horrible screeching sound, and then disappeared in a bright flash of light. "We did it, Chara!" Frisk said.
"I guess the amazing taste of the Great Papyrus's spaghetti was too much for that monster to handle!" said Papyrus.
"But what is happening to the space-time continuum?" Frisk asked. "Sans, you're an expert on quantum physics, do you know what's happening?" Sans was indeed an expert on quantum physics. He had a working degree in quantum physics. His advanced knowledge of quantum physics allowed him to teleport, use telekinesis, and many other feats.
"I have no idea," said Sans. "We need to figure out what's happening to the space-time continuum. That monster is probably only the beginning of our trouble," he said.
"I can tell you what is happening," said a mysterious voice. Frisk turned around and saw a boss monster that she had never seen before. He looked similar to Asgore and Toriel, but his fur was gray and he was wearing a black robe and carrying what appeared to be a magic staff. "I am Sargon the Sorcerer", he said. I am a monster nobleman and former assistant of the late Dr. W.D. Gaster. He turned to Asgore. "I assume you remember me from the Underground, your majesty?"
"Yes, I remember you," he said. Can you tell us what's wrong with the space-time continuum?"
"Yes," he replied. If you and your human ambassador meet me at my house, I can explain everything."
"Very well." Asgore replied. "Frisk, we need to go."
"What do you think is happening, Chara?" Frisk asked.
"I have no idea. But whatever it is, you can handle it. No matter what you've faced in the past, your determination has always pulled you through."
