It been a while no? Well no excuses on my part cause i dont 'ave any

Guruda Emperor exe: im sorry for not updating buddy, but im back, for now,

Also what did you guys think of 'jolly king sans' (the character)

Let's begin.

PAPPYRUS POV

"SAVE YOU?, HOW?" "Here" HE SAID HOLDING OUT HIS HAND WHICH GLOWED GREEN "And when you do, my rebirth blaster will become yours, and you will possess the power to erase lv and the ability to ease his pain"

I LOOKED AT HIS HAND AND FOR A MINUTE THOUGHT OF ALL THE TIMES SANS HAD HELPED ME, AND THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MONSTER HE CLAIMED TO BE AN OLD FREIND OF SANS AND HE KNEW MY NAME BUT COULD I TRUST HIM ESPECIALLY WHEN HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING MAD?

YES I HAD TO. . .

FOR SANS

AND WITHOUT ANOTHER THOUGHT I TOOK HIS HAND AND THEN SUDDENLY THE WORLD TURNED BLACK

THEN WHITE AS TUNDILE JUST DISAPPEARED IT WAS JUST ME AND THE BLASTER

"DO YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR BROTHER?" ASKED A DEEP VOICE I SPOKE WITHOUT THINKING "OF COURSE I WANT TO HELP SANS, AND THE HUMAN AND THE QUEEN AND UNDYNE AND EVERYONE EL-". "NO!" SHOUTED THE VOICE "NOT THE HUMAN, JUST THE MONSTERS, HUMANS DESERVE NO MERCY, THEY ARE EVIL CREATURES NONE SHOULD BE SPARED" THE VOICE CRIED WITH MALICE "NO I WILL SAVE EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE MONSTERS BUT EVERYONE" "WE SHALL SEE"

AND THE WORLD RETURNED TO NORMAL,

I LOOKED AROUND ONLY TO BE GREETED BY NOTHING BUT SNOW, TUNDILE WAS GONE IN HIS PLACE ON THE ICE CHAIR WAS A PIECE OF PAPER THAT HAD MY NAME ON IT I PICKED IT UP AND READ IT ALL IT SAID WAS, 'THANK YOU AND GOODBYE' I HAD A FEELING THAT NEXT TIME WE MET WE'D BE ENEMIES,

BUT AFTER SUCH A STRESSFUL DAY I DECIDED TO GO HOME, AS I WALKED THROUGH SNOWDIN ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS WHERE HAD MY NEW FRIENDS GOTTEN THEMELVES? MY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED WHEN I HEARD "Hey Pappyrus" I TURNED TO SEE THE HUMAN AND QUEEN TORIEL WAVING AT ME, BUT NEITHER MY BROTHER NOR BROOK WERE WITH THEM, I JOGGED OVER TO THEM AND SAID "ARE YOU TWO OKAY? DID YOU FIND SANS?" THE QUEEN SHOOK HER HEAD AND SAID "We looked every where, or tried to but when two monsters started fighting outside snowdin we had to turn back, im sorry pappyrus" "THAT'S OK, I'LL BET BY NOW SANS IS BACK HOME BY NOW, IN FACT WHY DONT YOU B. OTH COME WITH ME, THAT WAY WE CAN GIVE SANS AN EARFUL" THEY BOTH NODDED AND SOON ENOUGH WE WERE INSIDE MY HOME

I HAD MADE THEM BOTH SOME HOT CHOCOLATE WITH WHIP CREAM BUT THE MARSHMALLOWS WERE IN MY ROOM, SANS LOVED SPREADING THEM ALL OVER THE HOUSE SO I HAD TO KEEP THEM OUT OF REACH, "HOLD ON A MOMENT AND I WILL GET THE MASHMALLOWS" I WALKED UPSTAIRS AND OPENED MY BED ROOM DOOR TO FIND BROOK PASSED OUT ON MY BED AND SANS PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR,

"QUEEN TORIEL, HUMAN, I FOUND THEM!" I SHOUTED AND I HEARD THEM JUMP UP AND RUN UPSTAIRS,

WITHIN A MINUTE QUEEN TORIEL HAD BOTH CONSIOUS AND BACK ON THEIR FEET, AND THEY TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED (A/N Excluding sans past of course)

POV SWITCH FRISK

As sans and Brook told us about flowey and the castle and tundile, i studied the faces of those around me papyrus looked contemplative when sans mentioned 'tundile' and extremely worried when he said he and Brook combined, chara looked sad whenever flowey or asgore was mentioned' and toriel looked angry when asgore was mentioned but worried when they talked about the fight, as the tale ended brook stood. Up and said "so now we have to go forward and face the faux straw hats, king asgore, flowey and tundile, defeat each one and go to the surface" i shook my head "that and find the royal scientist so chara can get a body,"

At that everyone nodded "AHEM" said Pappyrus and we turned to him "ABOUT TUNDILE, HE CAME INTO TOWN WHILE YOU WERE OUT SANS AND HE GAVE ME HIS REBIRTH BLASTER" then his eysockets narrowed and he said "AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT LV"

As Papyrus said that I immediately studied everyone's faces, Toriel and Chara were shocked and worried, Brook was confused, Sans . . .? I couldn't tell despite what papyrus said he was still smiling, but he wasn't happy or angry or disappointed he just. . . Was.

Then papyrus turned to toriel and said "QUEEN TORIEL, IM SORRY TO IMPOSE ON A GUEST BUT COULD YOU BROOK AND THE HUMAN GIVE ME A MOMENT WITH MY BROTHER?"

Goat mom nodded and turned to me "come my child let's go," the two of us left and brook closed the door, "where to now" i asked, toriel and brook looked at each other, brook spoke "i suppose we should just wait for sans and Papyrus, so lets go make snowmen" toriel giggled but followed after

Sans Pov

Papyrus watched them walk out and when they had exited he turned to me and with a worried look in his eyes said "BROTHER, A. . . ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU HURT? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS?" As he asked these I kept thinking to myself 'why hadn't i told him? Of course he'd be worried, i should have told him before tundile maybe he would've been better suited to help me if i had, it's times like this where i fel- he grabbed me and said "AND STOP THAT! YOUR NOT USELESS, CAUSE YOUR MY BROTHER, REMEBER?" I nodded "GOOD, NOW ANSWER THE OTHERS, IN ORDER"

I nodded and took a deep breath, "no im not fine" i said honestly, the second i said no his arms wrapped around me, the denial that had gotten me through some of the hardest years of my life had been shattered by little more than Papyrus asking a very simple question, but it wasnt what he asked rather it's why he asked, he asked because he knew the answer, no point being dishonest here, he tried whispering comforting things to me but he stoped when i said "it's killing me, every day i feel so worthless, and it gets worse as the seconds tick on, even worse if i didnt have you I'd be like tundile, hopeless alone and completely crazy, as for the reason i never told ya, well you'd probably treat me like glass, you'd never let me outta your sight, would force yourself to sit in grillbys all night just so you would know where i am, and eventually you'd give up your dreams for me, and thats something id never allow"

Suddenly he looked sullen, "YES, MY DREAMS. . ." He said in both sorrow and contemplation, i narrowed my eyes "something you want to tell me?" "NO, RATHER THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST ASK YOU" "okay lemme hear it" "IT'S ABOUT THE ROYAL GUARDS," he said as he told me what had happened to him, about defending the human, facing undyne, and leaning the truth about them, i didnt need a mirror to know my eyes had disappeared, "okay,' i said smiling "welp it's getting late pappy, you get ready for bed im going to get some ketchup from grillbys, just as i turned to leave Pappyrus tightened his hug, "NO, YOU CAN'T GO AFTER UNDYNE," "she won't hurt me," i said dismissively "THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M AFRAID OF AND YOU KNOW IT," "yeah, fair enough, but next time i see her, her and i will have a little chat"

Frisks PoV

"they've been talking for a while" said chara, I nodded as brook, goat mom and I tried building a massive snow monster, chara looked at something behind me and said "turn around," i looked behind me to see the fish lady in the armour, she had her spear ready and the three dog people from before were with her as were two others I hadn't seen before, "brook, goat mom, the royal guards are back" they turned and then brook froze "but ho-" he started but then . . .

Everything turned white.

Tundile's PoV

I continued fixing the machine, my sanity slowly slipping away, as was my self control, pice by pic the macheinenene saw finalised finalised? No frinalpiseds? I turned to theclock on ym llaw "mmmmh owt syad etal " said whoever said that was it me? "No" i said "it was me" "ho os eh dais ti?" Says i, eh dais ti

Hhe would eb reef rfee f r e e d yes that

Who's tiger? *knock knock* I turned to see walking flower and goat lorde,

"tundile, are you okay?" Asked lorded lorde i smiled a toothysmiled " of course, Chester cheeta is dead, and the underpants gnomes know not to cuddle with me, but enough about the painting, how arent i," then i looked at the clock and growled, it turned to ice and shattered, turning to hem thim whatever I said "sorry about that the clock was late by two days, or was it two weeks? Aye it was two years ether way great saddens" just as fertiliser was about to speak i detrats ym arepo "i am the very model of a modern major general, im well aqunted with the earth and maths stuff im a good guy fi joy dnated blah blah blah" and then i took a bow the crowd rang out into applause and the door slammed shut i was floating in space when a voiced called to me "find snas eh nac pleh su" yes Meami i understand sans always ain't trouble so ill just remove spot from the equations, now where's that clock,

I looked Aron did only to find it smashed to pieces and even worse it was late by three days, i dropped a wrench spanner screwdrivers I don't knew i forgot i was holding and

Who am sans again?

Was he the rubber one ? No that was tundile

Must be zoro yeszzori that was a good film,

I turned to big device and asked my self one question "why isnt there a chair on the ceiling?"

Asgore's PoV

"He's getting worse," i said as I slowly closed and locked the lab door, more for my staffs safety than his, "yes," responded the small flower monster on my arm "he doesn't seem like the same monster anymore," i let out a sigh, "maybe we should stop this. . . maybe she was right," I couldn't help but feel as if i had somthing to do with tundile's state of mind,

Flowey turned to me "come now my liege, tundile has completed his end of the bargain, he cloned the strong humans that I told you about, and the original ones are left so weak they cant stop us, you sent several royal guards, to get the other one i told you about and their report states that not only have they caught her they also captured the queen, and the one i thought was dead, maybe tundile is crazy now, but he agreed to this plan of ours and if you call it off now, all of his work will have been for nothing."

His words sound reasonable, and his logic impeccable, but still my doubts lingered, i shook my head and said "tell the honorary monsters, to meet the royal guards halfway for extra safety, and i want no one to disturb tundile as he is, should he summon me or any other monster or a tempt to escape i need to be informed immediately, understood?" Flowey nodded and sunk into the ground,

It was quiet, i shut my eyes and walked letting my feet take me on a journey, after several corners and long hallways, I entered a room, and opened my eyes, "why here of all places?" I asked, as i looked at the beds of Prince Asriel and Princess Chara, i sat down on chara's bed as i had when she was alive, turning to the wardrobe i had opened it and moved the clothes they had intentionally stacked on top of a cardboard box with the words 'family pictures' on it, carefully lifting the box out of its resting place, i slowly removed the lid, inside were several pictures of all four of us I remembered our old home where they had done the same thing,

I reached inside the box and picked up a single picture, it was our first family photo, it was even framed, they spent their entire allowance on this one picture frame, i smiled as I studied the picture toriel had her arms around the childeren and the biggest smile on her face, Asriel was hugging her back and smiling, Chara had rolled her eyes but couldnt stop the smile from showing, and I was behind them ruffling Chara's brown hair, with a smile of my own,

I must have sat there for an hour or so, as i sat all i could do was compare the differences between back then and now, and for what must have been the thousandth time i could hear Tori's voice echo inside my head "you're a terrible father," "I know" i said to myself, but it's too late to take back all of what i did,

SANJI'S POV

Everyone was restless we all just sat around trying to keep our minds occupied, Nami was counting what beli she had on her, Usopp and Chopper were talking about what they were going to do when we escaped, Robin was reading, Luffy and Zoro were training, Franky was looking for cola, and i was looking for ingredients for food

All in all it was unusually quiet for us, though I know we all wanted to leave and help brook we went in the best shape to fight, and if we were discovered they might check the ruins, we had found the exit of the ruins but figured it be better if we stayed in this house until one of us had our strength back,

loud thud* i turned around to see moss head collapsed the others took notice and gathered around him, chopper, "LUFFY" shouted Nami "I know your mad but taking it out on Zoro is-" "Luffy didnt do this" said Chopper everyone turned to the doctor "he has no external wounds, however he seems to be fatigued," the doctor placed his ear to zoro's chest "oh no, his pulse is fading slowly, but if he dosent get better, he. . . Won't make it out of here alive" Luffy grabbed his hat, "im going out" "No if you go out there you might not be capable of defending your self, and if you are it will definitely draw attention to the rest of us," he seemed to understand her and begrudgingly sat down,

Everyone looked around we knew what caused it the clone was overtaking zoro's power and soon he would'nt have enough to even live, but luffy's idea for once wasnt the wrong one, we needed to tell brook and the others to pick up the pace,and hopefully get more of us out there to help, Turing to Nami I said "Much as i hate to admit it he isnt wrong, though i think it would be better if i went" she looked surprised bu seemed to argue with herself on it, but i could tell she'd need more convincing, "look if i go im fast enough to get to Brook quickly, im careful enough to stay calm and im strong enough to fight if i actually have too," she nodded, and i started to leave the ruins, "HEY BRO" Franky shouted, i turned back to him as he ran over to me, "take me too bro, nami and I talked it over i may not be in top form but the two of us have bettter odds of beating the opposition, and if we find some cola the two of us might be able to take down some of our clones," I considered taking franky, he had a point "okay, but i want you completely serious, no picking fights, don't try to draw any attention to us, and if your cola starts getting to low tell me," he nodded and the too of us ran down the path, despite his cola shortage he seemed to be keeping up,

Hold on moss head, you'd better not die after what we've been though
