Hot dayum that's a lot of reviews!
I didn't actually think that many people read the story... This is amazing.
As for why I haven't updated despite all of those reviews... Well, the explanation is at the bottom of the chapter.

"####, wake up!"
"Eugh..."
"The bus just drove by you lazy asshole!"
"My loving mother, ladies and gentlemen..." Cter sat up from his bed, rubbing his head.
"We trust you with one thing and you screw it up like everything else!"
Cter glanced over at his alarm clock, seeing it was unplugged.
"Did... Did you unplug my alarm clock?" He glanced over at her with a look that can only be given to the truly stupid.
"Leaving things plugged in can start a fire!"
"Don't pretend you understand how wires work, you don't." Cter pulled his pants on, yawning.
"Further more, you're a lunatic." He added, and his mother angrily slammed the door.
"Any day I don't snap and kill them all is a blessing..." Cter muttered, bags under his eyes as he chuckled to himself, looking out the window to see a car pulling out from the driveway, snow falling in sheets from the air.
"... Yeah, no. That's cool. I'll walk." Cter proceeded to give his mother the finger through the window, and she returned it.
Cter ran through the water, jumping to the side and sending the bullets flying into Mad Dummy, who roared with rage.
"Idiots. Idiots! IDIOTS!" Mad Dummy roared at his bullets.
A wave of bullets fell from the sky towards Frisk, who jumped back, watching them plunge into the water.
Mad Dummy's body was torn from all of the hits from his bullets, and he was gritting his teeth. And by teeth I mean the sharp part between the three parts of his body.
"That's it! All of you numb skulls are fired! I don't have time for worthless trash like you!" Mad Dummy roared, and his bullets looked at each other, before shrugging, walking away.
Mechanical whirs rang through the dump, and Frisk and I watched as small, bullet shaped robots popped up.
"You two don't stand a chance now!" Mad Dummy laughed manically, and Frisk and I stood ready as missiles were fired at us, beeping red as they flew at us.
"Hahahaha!- ... Uh... Wait..! Stop that!" Mad Dummy said, watching as Frisk and I ran right at him.
I jumped, placing one hand on Mad Dummy's shoulder as I jumped over him, Frisk sliding under him as the missiles exploded into him, scattering stuffing across the dump.
"... Alright. Alright! ALRIGHT!" Mad Dummy exploded, his stuffing slowly coming back together.
"Sure, I can't kill you, but you can't kill me either! So we'll just sit here! HAHAHA!" Mad Dummy threw his pieces around violently.
"I heard you humans have pretty short life spans compared to us Monsters!"
I glanced over at Frisk, pointing at Mad Dummy with one thumb. "This guy." I rolled my eyes, and they laughed lightly.
Acid rain suddenly rained down on Mad Dummy, who grunted, looking up at it.
"What?! Acid rain?! Gah, whatever! I'm done!" Mad Dummy stormed off, Napstablook floating down.
"Oh... I saw you guys fighting and I thought it might look like fun... But your friend left... Oh... Well... If you two wanna come by my house to 'hang out'... That'd be okay, I guess..." Napstablook floated away, and Frisk and I followed.
"Ugh... This is boring." They rolled their eyes, watching from above and into the window, seeing the other two humans and one ghost laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling.
Or, in Cter's case, asleep.
"Maybe I should stir things up a little..." Their lips curved into a grin, watching as Cter frowned in his sleep, his hands clenching into fists.
"Not the best idea."
Their grin widened, recognizing the voice well.
"Well, you've just got an eye on everything, don't you?" They looked over their shoulder, seeing Sans standing on one of the peaks the water fell from, hands in his pockets and left eye burning a bright blue.
"Kinda my job, kiddo." Sans grin was its usual wide.
"And you're make it a lot harder than it has to be." Sans added, glancing to the side.
"You sure are persistent to hurt people that've never done anything to hurt you, huh?"
"You and I both know you've done some stuff to hurt me." They said, drawing their knife.
"Good times, huh?" Sans closed his eyes.
"Or should I say bad time?"
Chara's heart became blue, and they dropped to the ground on the ledge across from Sans, glaring at him.
"Now as much as I would love to obliterate you, I'm actually here to warn you." Sans said, reopening his eyes and looking to the side.
"And here I thought you didn't care."
"Can you just like... Be quiet? Your voice just... Irritates me." Sans shrugged, and they frowned.
"Look, kid. Holding grudges is a lot of effort. And from what's going on, we could use as much help as we could get. So-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, you want my help?!" They began laughing, holding their stomach.
"Never took you for a liar, Sans!"
"Kid, trust me, with what's out there, you don't wanna be alone. This is bigger then me, you, and everybody else." Sans pupils disappeared.
"Sans, your problems don't concern me." They said with a mocking tone, turning around.
"This isn't just my problem." Sans rose his voice ever so slightly, making Chara stop walking away.
"Heheh... Well, whenever this problem of yours gets to me, I'll make sure it regrets setting foot on the same ground as me." Sans grit his teeth lightly as they left, his pupils gone.
"Figured that wouldn't work."
Throne Room.
Holes in the walls.
They're still screaming silently at me through the portals.
I'm holding a gash in my stomach.
I wave a hand dismissively at my friends, smiling as blood seeps through my teeth.
They're grinning wickedly at me, holding a blood soaked knife.
"Times running out, Cter." They say, though their voice sounds different. The room cracks.
Laughter echoes through it.
My eyes snap open once again.
I was beginning to wonder what a good nap felt like.
"Okay, that was fun." I sat up, stretching, ignoring the beads of sweat running down my face.
"Oh... You're awake..." Napstablook glanced over at me, sitting in his computer chair.
Frisk was in the corner, head phones on as they listened to Napstablook's music, eyes closed. They nodded lightly along with the music.
"It's been fun, Napstablook." I smiled, standing up.
"But we've got a lot of stuff to do." I said, and Napstablook smiled lightly, even though I'd expected him to frown.
"Okay... Thanks for stopping by... And for downloading all of my songs..." Napstablook said.
"No, thank you for making them." I smiled, shaking Frisk lightly, getting their attention.
"Huh?" Frisk pulled off the headphones, setting them down next to the player.
"Come on, we've got an angry fish to befriend."
"Heh..." They stood up, and we waved goodbye to Napstablook, promising to visit soon.
I closed my eyes for a moment as we left, letting out a light sigh.
The nightmares were getting progressively worse, as I'd picked up.
First it was just me and them, then it was me, them, and everyone else, and that time, I was injured, and reality was cracking apart.
I stared at the ground, not focusing as I went along.
"Uh... Cter? You alright? You haven't said anything in the past ten minutes." Frisk glanced over at me.
"Oh... Uh... Sorry. Let's stop at Gerson's shop." I said, and Frisk looked like they were remembering something, and it made them shiver lightly.
"What's with that look?" I arched a brow at them. "Oh, right. Gerson's a badass. I almost forgot." I laughed.
"Man, the look on your face when I just walked right by with a little wave." I snickered at the memory, though Frisk looked disturbed that I would laugh at such a memory.
"... Guess I shoulda kept that thought up here, huh?" I tapped my head with one finger.
"... Do we really have to stand here?" Grillby crossed his arms, looking out over Gaster's multiverse room.
"Yes." Gaster answered. "Error will have to get into our Universe through this way and only this way." Gaster said.
"And when he does come, we'll immediately alert Sans and Cter, and then we'll defeat him together." Gaster said, keeping a close eye on the empty plain.
Behind them was the portal into their universe.
"... Well I can't see that plan possibly going wrong." Grillby said with a monotone full of sarcasm, crossing his arms.
Frisk eyed the Hammer hanging on the wall above Gerson with some fear in their eyes, and Gerson arched a brow at them.
"Hey, what's with that look ankle biter?" Gerson questioned. "I only use that on bad costumers, wahaha!"
"... And you aren't one of those, are ya?" Gerson's smile faded, and his eyes narrowed on Frisk.
Frisk gulped.
"Just joking, little shrimp!" Gerson laughed. "I'm sure that familiar feeling I get from you is nothing, wa ha ha!"
"Here's your Sea Tea and Crab Apples, kids!" Gerson handed me the bag full of the things we'd bought.
"Be safe out there! And uh... Don't hurt anybody, alright?" Gerson said, narrowing his eyes.
"I'd hate to have to use my bad costumer hammer on kids as nice as you..."
He began laughing once again, signaling a joke as we left.
"Well that was tension filled." I said, sipping some Sea Tea as we went along.
"I wonder how many people really remember a thing or two..." Frisk said, frowning lightly as we went along.
After a flexing match with Aaron that I'm pretty sure gave me a hernia and a bath from Washua, Frisk and I stopped by Temmie Village.
"Ba," I tilted my head to one side before tilting it to the other. "Bo,"
The Tems dewed behind me as we went, creating the Temmie Village song.
This made Frisk laugh, and them and the Temmie Village shop keeper joined in as well.
"Dewdewdew, dadewdewdew dew dew dew." Frisk put an arm around the shop keeper as they went Washua's bird friend joined in, adding the tweets in the song.
After we'd sold what we didn't need and given Temmie a decent tip to help pay for Cooleg, We had a short conversation with the other Tems.
"Should we... Tell them it's hard boiled..?" I whispered to Frisk, who shook their head.
"Not with the look that Mushroom is giving me..." Frisk glanced over at the dancing Mushroom, who stared at us with narrowed eyes.
"So, Bob, what do you do around here?" I asked, sitting in front of the one logical Tem.
"Oh, mostly just handle everyone's finances. Occasionally I try to fix the lead water problem, but as you can see, I haven't been very successful in that area." Bob looked around.
"... As you can see."
"I'm pretty sure the shop keeper is faking it though." Bob said. "I caught them reading a book on Quantum Physics the other day. You know what the other Tems read?" Bob tilted his head to the side.
"What?"
"The recipe for Tem Flakes."
"But aren't Tem Flakes-"
"Just cut outs of construction paper, yes."
"... So wait, the other Tems drank lead water and that's why they're like this?" Frisk arched a brow at Bob.
"Like ancient Rome, friend."
"That's hilarious." I said with a tiny smile.
"Lead poisoning is no joke. But from a viewer stand point, I suppose it is... Somewhat comical." Bob glanced to the side. "If you have that kind of sense of humor, anyway..."
We left Temmie Village, making our way through the next room and down the dark path, the light growing dimmer and dimmer until we reached the Echo Flower at the end of the road.
"I just can't stop thinking about an Ancient Rome full of Temmie's now..." I said as Frisk and I stopped at the Echo Flower.
"Behind you."
Frisk and I turned around just in time to see Undyne marching towards us.
"Seven."
"Seven human souls."
"Hmm..." They watched from a distance, eyes narrowed.
"The skeleton stays much too close to them now..." Chara glanced over at Sans, who stood on the ridge above them in the shadows, looking down at Cter and Frisk as Undyne edged closer.
"He was always good at being a thorn in my side." they grit their teeth lightly as they stared at Sans, who still wore that ever lasting grin.
Sans looked back up at Chara, and their eyes narrowed at the glowing blue light coming from his left eye in the darkness.
He waved.
They disappeared.
"H-hey, wait! You aren't gonna tell my parents about this, are you?"
Frisk and I watched as Monster Kid was dragged away, and Frisk and I waited for them to disappear from sight before going towards the bridge.
"This sure is going fast." I commented as we walked up the path towards the bridge.
"Hm?" Frisk glanced over at me.
"I mean, after this, we're halfway done with this. Soon enough, it'll all be over." I placed my hands in my pockets, looking up at the ceiling as we went.
"Yeah, we can finally put an end to all of this." Frisk said. "But... What about that Error... Thing?" Frisk glanced over at me.
"... Huh, I'd almost forgot he'd existed. Guess I like blocking things out." I shrugged as the bridge creaked under us.
"... Yeeeeah." Frisk said, clearly not believing me.
"Or maybe I just had other things on my mind." I said, staring at the end of the bridge.
"MOVE!"
Frisk winced, catching my meaning.
They looked over at me, seeing I was holding my chest, hand gripping my shirt. Right where they'd cut me.
"Cter...-"
"YO!"
I looked over my shoulder at Monster Kid, who was quickly approaching.
"Yo, uh... Undyne said some stuff..." Monster Kid glanced to the side.
"Yo, be straight with me." He looked at us seriously. "Are... Are you two humans?"
There was a pause. Frisk was clearly going to let me answer.
"Well... Yes. We're uh, We're humans..." I scratched the back of my head.
"Man, I knew it!" Monster Kid said. "Well... I mean, I know now. Undyne warned me..." Monster Kid looked to the side.
"I uh... I didn't wanna believe it. Because... That would make us enemies. And I don't really wanna be enemies with someone like you. I was never too good at it..." Monster Kid shrugged.
Without shoulders.
"So, yo, could you say something that would make me hate you?" Monster Kid looked back at me.
"Uh..." Usually I can muster something up for everyone. I have at least one mean thought about everyone, and I think everybody does.
But I was at a loss for words.
"Um... You don't have arms..?" The shrug that came with my words didn't make them any stronger.
"..." Monster Kid looked at me with an expression that read "Seriously?" before beginning to snicker.
"Man, you suck at this!" He laughed. "Alright, lemme give it a shot."
"Uh... Man, I uh... I hate your guts... N'stuff." Monster Kid said, glancing around, as if unsure of his own words.
"Yeah, I'm the one who sucks at this." I crossed my arms, snickering.
"Man, this is harder than I thought'd it be..." Monster Kid looked down.
"Yo... If it's this hard to hate you, maybe I'm not supposed to?" Monster Kid said, and I shrugged.
"Seems plausible. I mean, we get along just fine, despite being Human and Monster."
"Yo, that means I gotta go tell Undyne she's wrong!" Monster Kid said urgently. "Y'know, before she murderizes you two."
"Sounds like a plan." I smiled.
Monster Kid spun around, breaking into a sprint down the bridge.
I smiled, looking back to Frisk.
They had an expression that said they'd just seen something adorable.
"... Don't."
"Cter..."
"Don't..!"
"D'AAAAAAAW!"
I groaned, rolling my eyes.
Monster Kid's eyes widened as he spotted Undyne standing at the other side of the bridge, his foot immediately getting caught on a plank of wood.
He gasped, and I spun around, seeing him fall right off the bridge.
We wasn't able to grab anything.
Undyne reached out, eyes wide as she caught nothing.
"MONSTER KID!" I sprinted forward without a second thought, diving off of the bridge after him.
"Cter!" Frisk reached out for nothing, watching me fall into the black below.
Undyne watched with wide eyes, before looking to Frisk, her hands clenching into fists and her teeth gritting.
"... Uh oh..." Frisk gulped, taking a step back as spears appeared throughout the sky behind Undyne.
They were about to run, when the red heart over their chest changed to green.
"You're gonna pay for this." Undyne said, glaring.
"I didn't do anything!"
"Shut it, punk!"
Monster Kid yelled as he fell, feeling himself get closer and closer to the ground.
A dark blue pierced the black, a liquid grabbing him and stopping his descent, much to his shock.
He looked up, seeing me there, one hand outstretched to hold him with the ink coming from my sleeve as my other arm was back, grabbing the rocky area to our side.
"W-... What..?" They asked in shock, staring up at me with wide eyes.
"H-heh... I got ya..." I said, beads of sweat running down my face as I felt my arms screech in agony, unable to keep hold on both of us.
Pebbles ran down the wall, and I knew it wouldn't hold for long.
"D-damn it..." I threw Monster Kid to the side, a giant eraser breaking his fall just as the stone I was latched to broke, and I fell.
"Cter!" I heard Monster Kid yell in surprise.
THUD.
A green shield appeared in front of Frisk as they blocked spear after spear, wincing from the force delivered by each spear.
They spun to the left, blocking another before moving the shield behind them, blocking another.
With as many times they'd fought the Undying, normal Undyne wasn't exactly difficult.
That being said, her attacks were certainly coming faster.
Their heart changed to red once more, and they jumped back as spears spun down into the earth before them, being thrown rapidly at them from the sides.
They ran, surprising Undyne.
"Hey! Get back here and fight me like you're supposed to, you corward!" She yelled, spears shooting from the ground in front of Frisk, who jumped over them.
I pushed myself up off of the floor, looking at the flowers below me.
I stood, looking around the Throne Room.
It was empty.
And torn apart.
Ink and blood was splattered across the floor, dust sprinkled lightly over the flowers.
I stepped into the Judgement Hall, eyes widening.
Sans laid there, eyes closed and his hand over the gash in his chest.
And those stains certainly weren't from ketchup.
I reached out, skeptically touching his shoulder, as if afraid he'd fall to dust.
He didn't.
He laid there, lifeless.
I took a step back, shaking my head.
Only then did I notice my own injury.
I decided the absence of my right arm wasn't important.
I kept on, reaching the elevator.
It was smashed, Gaster laying lifeless in the metal, blood dripping lightly from the metal and out onto the floor with light taps.
I kept moving, suppressing my horror with surprising ease.
A crash from outside. I picked up the pace.
I ran past corpse after corpse.
Undyne, Asgore, Toriel, and a suit that resembled Grillby's dosed with water.
I tripped on a chunk of metal, and grunted as I pushed myself up with one arm, seeing what was left of Mettaton laying in a pile there. Alphys's body wasn't far from his.
I got up, wiping oil off of my shirt with disgust before continuing outside.
Stuffing fell from above, landing in torn up shards around me.
I looked up, seeing Muffet falling with a torn up spider web, dead spiders falling with her.
I threw my only remaining arm up at the roof, ink shooting from my torn up sleeve and wrapping around the edge of the roof, yanking me up.
Blood dripped from the roof.
I stared at the mangled corpse of my best friend, eyes wide in horror.
"Aw, what's the matter?" A familiar voice asked from the shadows before me, Frisk's body being thrown from it with a knife stuck in their back.
"A-a-aw, don't tell me. You're Afraid you won't be as good at PuSHinG PenCILs as you used to be, right, lefty?"
"Heh, jokes on you..." I knelt down and closed Monster Kid's eyes for him, closing my own for a moment before standing.
"I was already left handed." I smirked, shrugging with one arm.
"And I don't need my other arm to obliterate you two..." I closed my eyes, raising my left hand into the air.
I snapped, my eyes snapping open, left one glowing red with DETERMINATION.
Beat Blasters, pens, pencils, lead pencils, paper airplanes, keys, ink whips, and anything else I could summon appeared behind me.
"Now let's finish this."
"Cter!"
What..?
"Cter, wake up!"
Did I really go out again..? Heh...
"Cter, please!"
I guess I'm pretty tired, huh..?
"Cter! Cter!"
My eyes opened slowly, and I could see Monster Kid there, shaking me with tears in his eyes.
"Oh... Hey..." I answered weakly, forcing a smile.
Monster Kid was clearly happy that I was alive, smiling with relief.
"Monster Kid... I need you to listen..." I said, and he looked back to me.
"I can't really move, so I need you to open up my phone..." I said, and Monster Kid nodded, maneuvering it from my pocket with his foot in a process that took all too long.
"Okay, now go to Dimensional Box A..." I said, glancing over at the health bar that once again read 1/20. I was beginning to think this place was bad luck.
"But what will this-"
"Monster Kid I can feel one of my ribs edging further into my left lung."
"Okay, okay..!" They pressed the button with their nose, and a screen popped up.
"Now press-" I coughed blood, pain shooting through my body as I did so.
"Butterscotch Pie..." I closed my eyes for the longest second of my life.
"What could pie possibly help..?" Monster Kid wondered to himself, pressing the button and making the pie appear on top of his head.
"Alright, now comes the hard part..." I reached up slowly, grabbing the pie and smashing some of it in my hand.
Monster Kid watched as I struggled it down to my mouth, quite literally shoveling it in and swallowing it after a few painstaking bites.
A moment later, I was shooting up, my injuries healing in a golden flash.
"W-what..?!" Monster Kid jumped in surprise, watching as I stretched and groaned.
"Well, that was something." I said, glancing over at him.
"Oh, yeah. Monster food heals humans. Pretty cool huh?" I smiled, before being tackled in a hug.
"I thought you were gonna die why would you do that don't scare me like that!" They said through tears, and I laughed lightly.
"Well, we're friends, right? I couldn't just let you plummet." I smiled, and they pulled away.
"Wait wait wait... Did you use magic earlier?! I thought humans couldn't-"
"Yeah, it's a long story. Keep it on the Down Low, okay? People wouldn't be too willing to be friends with me if they knew I could use magic on them." I said, rubbing the back of my head as I stood, the water below us splashing as I did so.
"But how did you-"
"I'll tell you some other time. Trust me, it's not something you'd believe me on, anyway." I cracked my neck, looking up at the bridge above.
I stood next to Monster Kid, a large key appearing below us.
"Hang on." I said, the key lifting into the air.
Monster Kid was slightly surprised, but kept their balance as we lifted.
As we landed on the bridge the key disappeared, and I looked to Monster Kid.
"You should probably head home. You're parents are probably worried sick." I suggested, and after a moment of thought, Monster Kid nodded.
"I can't thank you enough for uh... Not letting me plummet to my death, n'stuff..." Monster Kid said, and I grinned happily, giving a thumbs up.
"Well show your gratitude by not telling anyone I can do that." I said, and Monster Kid nodded.
"See you later!" Monster Kid ran off back to Snowdin, stepping carefully as he did so.
"..." I waited for Monster Kid to go around the corner, before sighing.
"Now where did Frisk and Undyne go-" I stopped as I turned around, my eyes narrowing.
"This is getting a little creepy." I told them, placing my hands in my pockets.
"Well just floating around doing nothing is pretty boring." Chara shrugged.
"Then maybe you should just go to Hell. Y'know, where you belong?" I suggested, frowning.
"Can't even ask me how my day was before you tell me to go to Hell?" They shook their head.
"I think you were nicer when we were killing each other." They grinned, and I glared.
"Look, I don't have time to deal with you." I said, walking past them, much to their surprise.
"Well that was just rude." They followed, and I ignored them.
"C'mon, Frisk'll be fine. I mean, how scary can the fish really be?" Chara asked, and I glanced at them out of the corner of my eye.
"You of all people should be very aware of how scary she can be." I said, and they began laughing.
"Oh, Frisk can handle the proclaimed 'Undying'." They rolled their eyes. "In fact... How do you know they aren't killing her right now?"
"Frisk isn't going to kill anyone." I said casually, twirling my pen in one hand as I walked along.
"How do you know?" They asked, right eye glowing red as they grinned at me.
"How do you know they weren't just waiting for the perfect opportunity to ditch you?" They were invading my personal space, though I refused to even look at them.
"How do you know they haven't just been waiting to get all their LOVE back?" Some black, blood-like fluid was beginning to drip from their eyes.
"How do you know they haven't been calling to me this whole time?!" The black liquid ran from their eyes down their face as they gave an open mouth grin with sharp teeth.
"You don't know anything about them, but I do!" They laughed.
"They don't care about these creatures, and they don't care about you. This is all a game to them, no matter what happens to them."
I remained silent as we went along.
"You think they didn't enjoy every second of cutting those pathetic creatures down?" They laughed. "Do you think that it was just me doing all of it? Or is that just some lie you keep telling yourself? I'm not the bad guy, Cter. I'm the one who stops them from destroying it all at the end."
"You're smarter than this, Cter." They floated above me, looking into my eyes from above, upside-down.
"So why don't you just work with me, and we can destroy them for good?"
The black fluid from their eyes was running upside down, dripping from their forehead as the red from their right stared into my soul.
I stopped walking, staring blankly at them.
I blinked once.
They stretched their hand out to me.
"I think we'd make a wonderful team, Cter." Their grin was from ear to ear.
"Huh..." I closed my eyes, smirking lightly. "That so?"
"Funny..." I reached out to their hand.
"I was thinking the same thing."
Their teeth were stained with blood, eyes almost as wide as their grin.
There hasn't been a reload, so Cter is probably still alive, and saved Monster Kid. Frisk thought, standing before the cave that lead to Hotland, jumping back to avoid spears shooting from the ground.
"Why won't you fight back, shrimp?!" Undyne demanded to know, throwing her spear at Frisk, who narrowly dodged, feeling it slice through their shoulder.
"I don't want to fight you!" Frisk said, rolling to the side as another spear flew by.
"I know you've got it in you." Undyne said, jumping forward and pulling back one fist.
"I can feel it!" Frisk held up both arms in an X, blocking the punch, which threw them back through the air.
They hit the ground, bouncing and rolling, groaning as they pushed themselves up to their hands and knees.
Undyne kicked them in the chin, throwing them into the air and pulling back the butt of her spear, ramming it into their abdomen and throwing them back through the air into the wall of the cave.
Frisk groaned, chomping into a crab apple.
They suddenly jumped into the air over the spear coming down at them, flipping and landing behind Undyne, breaking off in a sprint into the cave.
"Hey- wait! What do you think you're doing?!" Undyne ran after Frisk.
As I was about to grab their hand, murder in their eyes, I grinned.
I reached forward, grabbing them by the wrist, much to their surprise.
"I was also thinking about betraying the person in front of me." I said, ink running from my my sleeve up around their arm and around their neck.
I threw my hand to the side, whipping them back through the air and into the ground.
They cut through the ink, jumping up and away from me as the blast from a Beat Blaster exploded into the ground where they once were.
My jacket was blown around from the force of the blast, and as the dust cleared, I saw them glaring at me.
"That's fine, I understand." They grinned darkly. "You wanna see how this plays out. I guess I'll have to give you time."
"But soon enough, I'm sure you'll come to your senses." They turned around, beginning to walk away.
"And when that day comes..." They looked over their shoulder, grinning at me.
"I'll be waiting."
They disappeared, and I sighed, turning around and continuing towards Frisk and Undyne.
"Friggin' lunatic..." I muttered, closing my eyes for a second.
"Ya had me worried for a second there, kiddo."
My eyes reopened to see Sans walking next to me.
"C'mon, you didn't really think I'd work with that kid, did'ja?" I smirked, looking over at him as we went.
"Well with everything going as wrong as possible lately, who knows." Sans shrugged.
"I see your point." I said, placing my hands in my pockets.
"Speaking of which... Would you mind teleporting me to Frisk and Undyne?" I glanced over at Sans.
"You're really working me-"
"Down to the bone, yeah, I know."
"If you're gonna use me as a mode of transportation, at least let me finish my puns." Sans said. "You're lucky it doesn't get under my skin when people do stuff like that."
I sighed.
"Tibia honest, it was pretty rude of you to interrupt such a humerus pun."
Frisk held up their green energy shield, blocking a line of spears and sliding back slightly from the force behind them.
I don't remember her being this strong when she isn't Undying... Frisk thought, moving the shield from side to side to block oncoming spears.
Their heart switched to red, and they jumped back, spears shooting from the ground below them.
They landed on their feet, ducking under a swing from Undyne and sliding between her legs, coming out from behind her.
Undyne spun around, stabbing at them with one spear.
Frisk jumped into the air, landing on the spear and running up it, jumping and flipping, landing behind Undyne and beginning to run away.
Spears shot out in front of them, making them stop with a skid.
"Ngaaaah! You aren't getting any further, punk!" Undyne said, aiming her spear at Frisk.
She felt something bounce off the back of her head, and looked slightly confused.
"Hey, Fish Face!"
She turned around, seeing me staring them down, left hand holding my pen after I'd caught it when it bounced off of her head.
"You should have taken the opportunity to be friends while you had the chance!" I said as they approached.
"Because now that you've pushed us, I'll be forced to-"
I suddenly threw mud in her face, much to her shock.
"Run like a little girl!" I ran by her as she roared in anger, wiping mud off of her face.
"I'm gonna murder you you little- Nggggaaaah!"
Frisk and I sprinted past the sign that read 'WELCOME TO HOTLAND' in lit up letters.
"So did you save Monster Kid?" Frisk asked as we booked, Undyne not far behind.
"Of course." I glanced at Sans, who slept at his post, opening one eye slightly and grinning at us as we ran.
Undyne stopped for a moment, glaring at Sans.
"Ugh... I'll deal with you later!" She continued running, sweat forming on her brow as she did so, Hotland's heat combined with this running beginning to wear her down.
Undyne stumbled slightly, panting as she reached the end of the bridge.
"Armor... Too... Hot..." She stumbled, falling to her knees as Frisk and I skidded to a stop, watching her face plant in the heat.
Is this... Is this how I die..? Are they going to kill me... Or will they just leave me here..? I knew I should have put that heat resistant crap on my armor...
Undyne's eyes widened, feeling water splash down on her.
Frisk and I dumped a few cups of water on her, smiling.
"..." She rose slowly, staring down at us.
"Why did you..?" She asked, arching a brow at us.
"Just part of our stupid saccharine schtick." Frisk smiled, and Undyne looked to be thinking about something.
She turned around without another word, walking away.
"Well, that could have ended much worse." I said, before Frisk's phone went off.
"Hello Humans!" Papyrus greeted as Frisk put him on speaker phone.
"Hey Papyrus." Frisk and I said in unison.
"So, I was thinking..." Papyrus began. "Why don't we all go over and hang out with Undyne? I have training with her soon, and you two should come! Sans said he had other stuff to do, most likely a nap or go talk to that door again..." I could tell Papyrus was rolling his eyes on the other side of the phone.
"I think it would help you all get along better! I mean, you can't be on the best terms after the whole... trying to take your soul thing, right?" Papyrus glanced to the side.
"Good idea, Papyrus!" Frisk smiled.
"Yeah, we'll be there." I added.
"Good! See you there, humans!"
Click...
Frisk and I walked into Hotland, clicking the Save Point before moving down the steps to the River Person.
"Tra la la..." They greeted.
"Care to take a ride in my River Boat?"
Alright, I finally updated. I know I said I would update sooner with more reviews, but some stuff kind of happened.
I really wanted to update, especially after getting over thirty reviews (Big thanks for that, by the way.), but some stuff came up.
Or, really, some grades plummeted.
So I was forbidden from the ol' laptop. My only time to type was late at night over the weekends. So that only gave me a few hours to type per week.
So updates are probably gonna be kinda slow...
Unless my family has forgotten about it by now. It's a possibility, as no one's said anything about it in the past two weeks.
Whatever the case, please Review, because I've still got so much in store!
