Frisk stood stunned; Asriel was standing a few yards away from her. 'How can this be?' "A-Asriel!?" She called out holding her hands to her chest.
Asriel snarled before his eyes found Frisk standing on the lawn. "F-Frisk!" His demeanor changed completely as he broke out into a run towards her; a wide toothy smile across his maw.
"SISTER!" He ran faster closing the distance.
Frisk held out her arms and Asriel hit her hard against his chest, wrapping her up in his arms swinging her around. "ASRIEL!" Frisk laughed; tears streaming down her cheeks.
"How! How are you here! I thought we lost you in the Underground!" She squeezed him tightly.
Asriel chuckled happily in her ear. "Alphys!" He replied pulling her away from him to take in her appearance. "You've grown into a fine young human woman!"
"Lookit at you! Your.. grown!" She punched his arm playfully.
"Haha.." He flexed his arms for her. She giggled feeling his muscles. Sans watched the display and his socket twitched in annoyance.
Asriel smiled at Frisk. "When did you get back!? I didn't know you were to return home so soon!"
Frisk hesitated then shrugged her shoulders. "I finished school early; and wanted to surprise everyone. I didn't know you were.. back or I would have came to visit. "
Asriel hugged her suddenly. "I would of surprised you, but mom and dad thought the shock of seeing me might be too much if you were alone.."
Frisk sighed; patting his back softly. "Well I don't know about that, but I'm so glad you are here!"
Undyne coughed. Sand and Papyrus stiffened and glanced at Undyne. She was getting
impatient. Frisk and Asriel looked over and let go of each other. "Alright, so who wants to tell me what's going in, and why my mother and father's dwelling has been destroyed?" His eyes narrow at Undyne; then his gaze catches a few new Skeleton Monsters that he'd never seen before.
Red had composed himself and was sauntering over to the rest of them. Keeping as much distance between him and Undyne as possible.
His jacket had a few tears here and there from Undynes spears. He grunted at the others. Stellar and Sansy watched nervously as Frisk and Asriel made their way over.
Blueberry ran from inside and clung to Papyrus's leg. He blinked when he noticed G hadn't been present this entire time.
"Sans, whats going on?" Asriel gestured to the skeletons.
Sans shoved his hands in his jacket pockets. "Guess is as good as mine boss.." Asriel didn't like that response and turned to Undyne. "Care to explain?"
Undyne huffed and turned her head to stare towards the forest.
Asriel let out a growl, Stellar finally spoke up. "I know who we can speak to.. c'mon.." He gestured for them to follow him. He turned to go back through the entrance stepping over broken pieces of wood and furniture to go towards the staircase.
Sansy followed after; Papryus picked up Blueberry and carried him. Sans grumbled following behind him glaring at Asriel every few seconds to keep an eye-socket out for Frisk.
Red followed behind Frisk and Asriel and Undyne.
After a few minutes a flight of stairs and a long hallway; Steller pushed open the door that led them to the room where they had been kept in their cell.
Stellar stopped at the first cell and gestured to the yellow lizard that seemed to be panicking and walking back and forth.
"ALPHYS!" Undyne screamed and ran over to beat on the glass. Alphys looked up in surprise and her soul and heart dropped at the site of everyone; including Sans and Asriel..
"Oh d-dear.." She fidgeted her hands nervously and waved.
Undyne snarled "WHY IS SHE IN HERE!?"
Sansy and Steller looked guilty and looked over to Red. Red grimaced and glared daggers at them to shush it.
Alphys walked over to the glass and sighed. "I-its o-okay sweetie; I'm f-fine." She gave Undyne a reassuring smile.
Undyne frowned and crossed her arms over her chest; she wasn't happy.
Asriel cleared his throat and approached the glass. "Alphys; would you care to explain what's going on; and why there are.. " He gestured to the Skeletons, "multiple Sans here.."
Sans sockets darkened but Alphys could tell he was staring right at her. It send chills down her spine.
Frisk had slowly moved closer to Sans and reached in his pocket to squeeze his hand. He glanced over at her and gave her a gentle squeeze back. She had a nice calming affect on him.
"Y-you m-might want to t-take a seat.." Alphys took her glasses off and cleaned them with the end of her lab coat again.
Everyone kind of found comfortable sitting arrangements and waited for her to start.
(In this instance Alphys will not be stuttering)
"You remember how I helped you regain your physical form.. " She glanced at Asriel. He gave a nod in reply.
"Well.. I had created a machine that was loosely based of W.D Gaster's Research.." All the Sans seemed to flinch at that name.
"The machine allowed me to.. take from other alternate universes." Asriel's brow arched. "Take things like what.."
Alphys frowned.. "Souls.."
Everyone looked nervous. Frisk gasped and covered her mouth.
"In order for you to take form.. we needed human souls.. but the souls that we had already collected had been released when you helped break the barrier."
Asriel stood up, looking uncomfortable where this was going.
"I still wanted the other universes to break their barriers and get freedom.. sure there would be minor set backs like the length of time it would take for them to break the barrier.. but.."
Red growled his right eye flared in rage. Stellar and Sansy also didn't take kindly to what they were hearing. "So where do we come in?" Sansy asked lowly.
Sans had a bad feeling tugging at his soul.
"I took one soul that each universe had gathered and brought it back here.." She paused then continued. "I re calibrated the determination machine that Gaster had built to stabilize each soul and help you take form.."
Sans stood this time letting go of Frisks hand. "Are you crazy! You could of killed him!"
Alphys flinched but didn't look at Sans. "There was only a 15% chance that it would of worked.." Asriel gasped and turned away to look at the ground.
"I took the chance.. and was successful.. or so I thought. I didn't know there would be repercussions.." "After you left Sans.. I found your alternative selves in another room.. somehow when I had pulled the souls from the other universes.. it pulled your alternate selves from each one.."
"How.." Sans snarled.
"Y-you remember that black orb I had..that shattered when you came to save me?" Sans briefly remembered something shattering and causing Alphys harm.
"It.. was an essence of Gaster's power.." She whispered.
Sans left eye flared in rage. "SO, YOUR TELLIN' ME YOU HAD SOME OF MY OLD MANS SOUL; AND YOU KEPT THAT FROM ME!?"
Asriel grasped Sans shoulder firmly; "Try to calm down Sans.. " Sans growled shrugging off Asriel's hold.
"How'd you get it.." He asked darkly...
