Update 2019: I guess it ended up being 2 years instead of 2 weeks. Reworked minor word choices and revised some dialogue.

Original A/N 2017: Eheheh... So funny story...
One day as I went to write this chapter suddenly a giant beast came in and wrecked my free time so I couldn't write.

And that beast was Final Exams.
Anyways, school's out so you should be looking at 1-2 chapters per week for the next 3 months. Just rest assured that I will not let this story die.
The support on this fic is great, and I even got a congratulatory message from M. Bison himself!

Looking at you, Robosoviet.

But anyway, this isn't my autobiography; it's a story about Undertale! So I guess I'll stop yammering now...


- almost knocked off his feet as a thick cloud of smoke fumed from the machine. As the dust settled and Asgore regained his balance, the sheer silence of the lab seemed almost eerie compared to the incredible noise coming from the machine before. The door lay open now, and while Alphys was acting like she wasn't about to touch the machine with a ten-foot pole, Asgore rushed to the opening and peered inside.

His heart skipped a beat.

It was Asriel, all right, but something was off. As in, extremely off. Instead of fur, there was some sort of white... gooey substance on his body. By this time Alphys had taken the courage to look into the machine, but then immediately regretted doing so.

"Alphys, what did you do?" The statement wasn't accusational, but instead had the tone of someone trying to be polite but rapidly losing their patience.

Alphys' awkwardness vaporized as the monster equivalent of adrenaline snapped her into focus. "DT overdose. He's melting."

Asgore was, for once, outraged. "My son is to become one of them?!"

"No! If we act fast, I can- err... we can fix it. All we need is a sample of someone's core magic to stabilize the -"

"I'll do it."

"But the side effects are -"

"Devastating, yes. I'm willing to take the risk."

Alphys gulped. She quickly but carefully took a glowing, magical needle from a nearby table and injected it into Asgore's arm. As Alphys pulled out the core magic, Asgore felt like he was going to feel sick. A bit of lightheadedness and dizziness was one thing. But Asgore felt... different somehow.

Alphys injected the core magic into Asriel, and the goo slowly began to fade into a more solid body - one that definitely looked more monster-like.

"He needs rest now. I'll move him to one of the beds." Alphys motioned for Asgore to pick Asriel up. He did so and began to leave towards the room to the east of the DT extractor. Alphys spoke in genuine concern as she added, "And, u-uh, maybe you should get some sleep too. Y-You just donated a huge amount of core magic, and the side effects are -"

"I know, doctor," Asgore half-yawned, and he left the room carrying Asriel.

Chapter 4
Arrival


Well, this is just wonderful.

There I was, literally right next to the people who ruined everyone's lives. If that isn't bad enough, Drew and I are gonna be serving these monsters for the rest of our bleedin' lives! I mean sure, I guess it's better than spending eternity in that camp, but even death is a better alternative to the mess we've gotten ourselves into.

As Drew was being lead off to the main castle, I soon realized that I was not following; instead, I was going to a smaller but just as threatening-looking side wing. What was this? But then the giant golden statues came into view.

Undyne. Brilliant.

There were two statues, one on each side of the entrance to the palace. Each statue had to be at least 50 feet tall, and made of pure gold. The subject matter was (big surprise) the fish herself. In one, she was wearing some sort of armor and wielding a spear of some sort. In the other, she was suplexing a giant golden boulder.

Yeah, right. Nobody's strong enough to do that in real life.

But what she could do to me on a very whim? The thought gave me shudders. While the king seemed almost reasonable, the rumors about Undyne I had heard made it seem like she liked to torture humans just for kicks and grins; a real wildcard. I just hope that wherever Drew is going, it's as far away from Undyne as possible. As for me... well, I'll tell Drew "I told you so" later. For now, I have a crazy empress to go meet. Yay.


Well, I suppose that was easier then I thought it would be. My father thinks I'm finally "shaping up" to how a king-to-be should rule, and even better, I'm finally getting someone to talk to other than Undyne and Alphys. I had already exhausted every conversation topic with those two as a flower, so they didn't exactly make for interesting people to talk with. But now, there will be a new face to talk to for the first time in years. New possibilities, no longer predictable lines of dialogue, but something new every day. Just like you were, Chara. I could never predict you.

A servant knocked on my door. "Arrivial for you, my Prince."

"Thank you," I replied. I straightened my robe and stepped outside into the main foyer.


Inside his private study, Asgore wheezed and sat down on the bed. It was getting worse and worse now. It had been ever since that day he donated some of his core magic. He scratched his arm and a thin layer of dust scraped off onto his paw. It was slow but steady; with a decreased amount of core magic, he was decaying, and would continue to do so until there was nothing left to decay. He wondered how long he had. How long until he had to give the kingdom to Asriel. A great responsibility, to preserve monsterkind. He regretted his decision to wage war on humanity, and yet he knew it was the only way. He was confident in this.

But Asriel? Asgore felt that Asriel would crack under the pressure of ruling the world. He's too young. He is not ready. I need to get him ready. And if that meant teaching his son to be ruthless, then so be it. He longed for the old days that happened so long ago, and yet he knew deep in his heart thatshe was never coming back.

"I'm sorry, Toriel," he whispered softly to himself, "I'm sorry."


The plot thickens.

Anyway, next chapter coming up in just a few days. Please please please leave a review even if you are a guest, because it's the only way for me to gauge whether or not people actually like this story or not. I will respond to every non-guest review.

Thanks for reading.
