Chapter 9
Robert, after scrapping his destroyed Securitron with his tools, slowly made his way back to Snowdin. The day was drifting into the afternoon, and there were less monsters roaming outside then before. Robert, seeing how Grillby's Bar was full of Monsters chatting, entered. An immediate wave of silence fell over the crowd. Patrons all turned to look at him for just a moment, before making an obvious act to look away.
"Pleasure to see you again Grillby. I'll have a Brown Brother's Wine please." Robert said, placing 5 coins onto the table.
Grillby, in return, simply nodded to him, and went to the back room to grab a bottle. Monsters next to Robert moved from their seats, leaving a gap between him and the others. Robert, in return, scoffed, before sipping his wine whilst checking for alerts on his Pip-Boy. Oddly enough, he couldn't see any new notifications of a sort. Robert came to the conclusion that a higher connection would be needed to connect to his servers back in the Lucky 38. Which means that none of his previous messages had gotten through to the Courier.
A sudden burst at the door was heard, before Robert heard a voice speak to him.
"You damn Human! I'll kill you!" An unknown female dressed up in a large suit of armour shouted, before throwing a spear towards Robert, which missed him by a hair-breadth.
"You bloody Monsters and all your fighting. I don't have time for this nonsense." Robert spat out, annoyed, before activating a button on his watch, turning him invisible.
The watch was a device with an integrated Stealth Boy. Robert worked on it as a side project to be used in the up-coming war, before realizing that even this device would be futile in its attempt to go against certain atomic immolation.
"Ngah! Where'd that Human go!?" The Head of the Royal Guard shouted, flipping a table in her anger.
She spent several more minutes screaming and thrashing about in a desperate attempt to find Robert, before someone skidding to a stop in-front of the door arrived.
"Undyne, please stop! Let him live!" Papyrus plead, trying to defend Robert's case once more.
"Papyrus, you know I ca -" Undyne began to say, before a bullet pinged off her helmet, "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU BASTARD!?"
"Come now, that's a tab bit on the brutish side, no?" Robert said mockingly, with Maria in his hand, a smug look adorning his face.
Undyne let out one of her signature screams of fury, before a stream of spears were thrown Robert's way. A momentary look of fear crossed Robert's face, but as soon as it appeared, left. Once again activating his Stealth Boy, Robert made a hasty retreat. It was far too trivial for him. Running through the still open door, he hurried past several monsters who had gathered to see the fight. Cursing as his Stealth Boy de-activated, Robert contacted his Securitron. Immediately afterwards, a barrage of rockets flew to Undyne, who had ran out after Robert with incredible speed. They all blew her to the side, knocking off her helmet. Robert rounded a corner as she was downed, and made his way past all of the buildings.
Robert eventually made it to Toriel's house, where he sought refuge, slamming his fist on the door many times. Silence was the only thing that greeted Robert. Undyne was sprinting towards Robert, intent on getting her revenge. Sans suddenly appeared behind Robert, gripping his arm, before teleporting away, with Robert. It felt as if he was being dragged through a heavy tide of water, being thrown to and fro. Robert opened his eyes, and looked out across a void of sorts. There he saw, in the distance, a hunched over figure. After a few more seconds traveling through the Void, Robert came to a sudden stop.
He immediately vomited, experiencing the effects from teleportation. Robert looked around, he appeared to be in a small lab. Sans was over at a desk, with blueprints with some unknown language written on them, rolling them up.
"You should be safe here, for now at least." Sans said, with an even tone.
"Bloody hell Sans, would you mind explaining what I saw?" Robert said in response, stepping over the mess he had made.
Sans ignored Robert, opting to go underneath a grey tarp. A blue aura surrounded some tools that were strewn about on the desk, and they floated over to Sans. After a minute or so, filled with the sounds of welding and hammers banging, Sans came back out.
"I just teleported you, because of Undyne. You're welcome." Sans said with a smug grin, resting his arm on thin air, thanks to his magic.
Robert adjusted his tie, before looking out across the room, "Sans, where are we?" he asked, confused.
"We're behind Toriel's house. This is a lab that I use to do science stuff in. I also use it to collect socks to throw into Papy's room." Sans said, chuckling.
Robert looked around the small, confined room. It looked rather professional. Blue walls, tiled floors, some machine covered by a grey tarp in the corner.
"Who is this Undyne character, and why is she trying to kill me?"
"Oh, she's the head of the Royal Guard, or somethin' like that. You attacked some of her guards, the dogs back at Grillby's, and now she's annoyed. As in, 'I'm going to kill you', annoyed. Heh." Sans explained, before a sudden fish-lady burst through the roof of the Lab.
"HUUUUUMAN!" She screeched, spears in hand.
"Oh for the love of -" Robert began to say, before he started running.
Robert rolled up his sleeve, in an attempt not to damage his suit, before he activated a cybernetic-application of his. Robert's index finger opened, and with a simple thought, a small, unassuming pellet through forth. Once said pellet hit the ground, it released a form of gas. Undyne fell to the ground, the effects of the gas immediately taking effect. Desperate for air, she unlatched her helmet, casting it aside. Just barely, she noticed the thin outline of a retreating figure. She threw one last pitiful spear towards him, and watched as it sailed through the air, graceful even while she was down.
Authors Notes: So uh, when I said three months, it was just me over-exaggerating. So, here it is. I realized that people were saddened by the three month wait thing (Which was a slight reference to Mr. Poopy-Butthole from Rick and Morty, the last episode of Season 3), so I quickly mashed this together. Also, what with Robert's watch, think of the Enthusiasts Time Piece from TF2, because I'm un-original. Except without the Pacman design. It's the shortest chapter, but that's just to let people know that there's no three month wait. Also, the end of the School year is upon us, so I'll be able to spend some more time working on this! Also, we're one review away from that magical number 50! I just want to say that I appreciate the continued approval of everyone who's read this. And before I forget, with that whole thing about the Colour TV and the small Pip-Boy, I've decided to . . . swipe that under the rug. I haven't played Fallout 1 or 2, and I've barely gotten through 3, so my knowledge is mostly restricted to New Vegas and 4. Sorry to anyone that I may have offended with my lack of knowledge there. Have a good one!
