Donfyre: *pops up beside Fox* H-hey! Don't suddenly switch the pain and suffering over to me! L-look, readers… we're sorry that we didn't update for a long while. Is that enough? *smiles sheepishly at the camera*
DarkFoxKit: We've just been busy with other things, but at least we're still updating! Besides, Fyre, I'm not going to make you go through any pain and suffering. I have something else in mind! *Picks up a headband* Put this on. :3
Donfyre: Uhhh… do I have a choice?
DarkFoxKit: You always have a choice. You can just put it on willingly, or… *crawls over to Fyre and nudges his cheek with her own furry cheek* I can just put it on you myself~
Donfyre: O-oh blaaah! Some choice that is! *grabs the headband while pouting at Fox, fitting the headband over his head*
DarkFoxKit: Good and tight? *starts typing on her laptop. Fyre's mind felt dizzy and numb. Then he felt happy and giddy.* How do you feel, Fyre?
Donfyre: *he looked at Fox and smiled happily* I feel reeeaally good! And you look amazing today!

DarkFoxKit: Good boy. Hee, hee, hee, you're my little toy~ *Nuzzles back*
Chapter 14: Captured
Papyrus and Undyne lead Spike and I into the castle. I still remember most of the place from Asgore's tour. I gulped, hoping we wouldn't be taken by the RESET by the time we finished.
"Alright kids, stick close to us. We can't be having you get lost in here," Undyne said.
"DON'T WORRY! WE WILL PROTECT YOU FROM GETTING LOST IN THIS EXTRA LARGE CASTLE! YOU BOTH WILL LOVE IT HERE, IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY!" Papyrus said with such enthusiasm that I almost forgot about my worry. Papyrus always had that effect on people, which is why the resistance became full of despair when he was taken away.
"Oh I'm sure it does, this place is-" I began to say when Spike interrupted me.
"IS HUGE AND AWESOME!" Spike said in awe.
"Why yes it is, and we work here." Undyne smirked proudly.
"That is so cool!" Spike looked like he was about to fanboy.
When Undyne isn't trying to capture us, she seem to show her softer side. She really cares about the people she's working with and protecting… if only it wasn't for Chara's side. I guess Spike was reminded why he used to pretty much worship Undyne before.
"HEE HEE HEE, IF YOU THINK THIS IS COOL, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE OTHER ROOMS!" Papyrus smiled. "NYEH HEH HEH!"
I walked over to a pillar and stuck a tiny camera on it, before following them to the other rooms. Spike set up a camera with his forehead in a few rooms while I did the walls or wherever else I could put them. I did see more of my fellow members here, placing their own cameras in different spots. What was the point of having all of us go on this tour to put in multiple cameras in the same rooms? Was it to have different perspective? Is this really the best plan our oh so great new leaders could come up with?
I decided not to think too much about this right now. I didn't want to seem suspicious to Undyne and Papyrus. To be honest, it was hard not to smile being with them, it was like I was back in the Underground and hanging out with them. Undyne and Papyrus kept talking about cooking stuff, and how Chara has pretty high standards, and how much they like to hang out with her. It both stung yet felt nice and nostalgic at the same time.
Spike was too busy fanboying with Undyne and Papyrus to really care. I'm glad he could be happy at least, he deserves to be after all we've been through. I looked at my watch, making sure I kept track of the time. It was only 2:09 pm, so we still had plenty of time.
"AND THIS IS MY ROOM!" Papyrus said proudly as he opened another door. It was pretty big, and it looked pretty similar to his old room back in Snowdin. The racecar bed, the action figures, the pirate flag… it felt nostalgic.
"You're such a dork, Papyrus, what's with all the toys?" Undyne laughed.
"THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES! AND THEY'RE MY COLLECTION!" Papyrus huffed.
Spike ran to the action figure, impressed by them. I was mostly looking around to revel in the nostalgically of Papyrus' room. I wonder if Sans would feel better if he saw this place? Then again it might just make Sans stay here. I put a small camera on Papyrus' bed while pretending to be marveling at it.
Things were going pretty well so far… that is until an alarm began blaring, and it wasn't from my watch.
"WARNING! THE RESISTANCE HAD INFILTRATED THE CASTLE. WARNING! ALL SOLDIERS ARE TO SET TO CAPTURE MODE."
"WHAT!? HOW DID THE RESISTANCE INFILTRATED THE CASTLE?" Papyrus said in shock.
"Who cares? They've just made our job that much easier!" Undyne smirked before she looked at us. "You kids may want to stick with us and watch how we deal with these resistance punks!"
Spike and I looked at each other. Someone just got themselves caught. We followed Papyrus and Undyne out the door, seeing soldiers chasing a few of our members.
"Scan everyone!" A soldier said. "The resistance are in disguise!"
Oh no… this is not good at all. If we're scanned we'll get busted for sure.
Papyrus and Undyne looked back at us, making me step back. Spike looked terrified.
"DISGUISES? THESE RESISTANCE PEOPLE ARE GETTING SNEAKIER AND SNEAKIER EVERY LOOP," Papyrus said.
"Well you heard the man, kids. Sorry, but we need to scan ya to make sure you're not with the resistance," Undyne said to us.
Spike and I clenched our teeth. I could feel my heart beating against my chest. Undyne held out a small device. We had to run. Without really thinking, I grabbed Spike's tail and took off down the corridor as fast as I could. Spike didn't hesitate to join in the running.
"Wait! Why are you running!?" Undyne yelled. "Are you two with the resistance after all!? NYGAAAAAAAARGH!"
"Faster Spike, faster!" I yelled in panic.
"I-I'm trying!" Spike panted.
Both of us knew we were in trouble. Snowy and I only managed to escape from the castle before because we got really lucky. It was dark at the time, I could use a flashlight to daze the soldiers, Undyne was too far back in the crowd, and Snowy could fly. But now… we're just hoping we could survive long enough to hide and escape. Outrunning Undyne is like asking us to outrun a cheetah.
Of course I had forgotten about Papryus and his blue magic. I gasped when I felt a tingle go through my SOUL and felt a lot heavier. I noticed Spike's body was coated in blue magic too. We were both having a much harder time running… my legs felt like lead. A couple of shadows loomed over us… General Papyrus and Commander Undyne had their bone and spear in their hands. They didn't look like the friends we came here with earlier, now they look like cold hearted soldiers.
"Wh-what do we do?" Spike stuttered from beside me.
I tried to back us away from them, but there was nothing we could do, except try to fight back.
"YOU TWO LIED TO US…" Papyrus looked down in disappointment.
"That's okay, once we take them they'll be on our side for real, Papyrus." Undyne smirked. "Now you two punks have a choice; you can come with us willing and consciously, or we can just knock you out and take you in anyways."
"We're not going with you!" I snapped.
"Y-yeah! We rather fight first!" Spike agreed, though he still shivered.
"Fine, then we'll knock you out!" Undyne said.
I felt my chest tingle as my SOUL came out of me. Spike's white SOUL was beside my red one. Undyne and Papyrus stood before us. We were as good as captured… I took a deep breath.
"What? This punk's got a red SOUL? I've never seen another human besides Mistress Chara with a red SOUL before, other than… You're Frisk, aren't you!?"
"Undyne, Papyrus, please don't do this. We used to be friends," I begged.
"Yeah, you both always did everything you could to protect us from Chara," Spike said.
"YOU TWO ARE THE ENEMY," Papyrus said in a cold tone that didn't match his personality at all.
"We won't stop until you're both converted!" Undyne snapped.
Spears started coming towards us, along with bones sliding across us. I grabbed Spike's tail and tried to dodge the spears and bones, but it was hard, almost impossible. Spike and I tried to move away, but a spear managed to hit Spike, and a few bones managed to scrape me. I yelped when I felt a sharp pain hit me from behind. Undyne and Papyrus were not going to make this easy for us.
"NYEH HEH HEH HEH! HERE COMES MY BLUE MAGIC!" Papyrus snickered.
I gasped as both my and Spike's SOULs turned blue and we were weighed down by gravity. If it was just Papyrus attacking, it wouldn't be so bad, but with Undyne here too it was pretty much impossible dodging her incoming spears and Papryus' bones.
"Frisk… I can't… hold on… anymore…" Spike said weakly to me before he passed out.
"S-Spike!"
"Hey, be honored, punk! You two lasted longer than anyone else that we've teamed up on," Undyne said.
"Please stop! You're my friends, both of you! We shouldn't be fighting like this," I begged again.
"Anyone who opposes Mistress Chara is no friend of ours," Undyne said coldly.
"BUT ONCE YOU CONVERT, WE WOULD GLADLY GIVE YOU A PROPER TOUR NEXT TIME!" Papyrus said.
"No… this isn't right…" I said weakly, looking at my battered SOUL.
"Say goodnight, punk," Undyne said, and before I could even react I felt something sharp impaled my SOUL.
I fell to the ground, everything was getting dark for me. Undyne approached me while I could see Papyrus picking up my little monster kid friend. I felt Undyne tugging on my hood, probably trying to get a look at my face.
"HAH! I knew it, this is the kid Mistress Chara wanted. The war is almost over," I heard Undyne say in a giddy tone.
I don't understand… what does Chara want with me?
I couldn't ask, because everything went black. The voices and sounds became distant and I felt numb. Is… is this it for me? When I wake up again… would I be a part of Chara's soldiers? I'm… I'm too scared to open my eyes anymore…
… … …
"FRISK!"
A familiar voice called and echoed, and I started becoming aware again.
"Put her and Spike down now! Or you'll have to face me!"
Everything was still black… and I still felt numb… but I could hear voices… they sounded far away though...
"Whoa, looks like we just found Asgore's ex-wife."
"THIS IS GREAT! WE'LL GET THREE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! MISTRESS CHARA WILL BE SO PLEASED!"
"Just make sure Frisk gets to Mistress Chara."
"Stop! I won't let you take Frisk away!"
I could start feeling again… I think I was in someone's arms… it didn't feel very comfortable. And… it feels like there's some kind of weird gravity that keeps shifting around… I think whoever's holding me is moving around.
"Hoho! This one is a tough one!"
I felt sick… and the comforts of the dark abyss welcomed me back…
… When I started coming to again, I felt a lot more comfortable. It feels like I'm leaning against something smooth and hard. And I heard voices again.
"So that's the new idiot leader's plans. Have the rest of the resistance as bait while they try to be the daring hero by bluffing their way to Chara with a prototype shield, which is theoretically said to resist RESETs, but it's not even tested and it's highly doubtful it can even do that."
"THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION, MASTER! WOWEE, MISTRESS CHARA WILL BE PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT THIS! I'LL GO REPORT TO HER RIGHT NOW!"
Who was… oh, Papyrus… must be talking to the spy… I have to try and open my eyes to see… who… Wait… did he say that our so-called leaders were planning to use Alphys' prototype shield to bluff his way to victory while the rest of us were bait? Those lying little-
"Wow, their new idiot leader is just handing us the war on a silver platter. We've captured a lot of the resistance, there won't be any left at this rate. We've even got the big prize."
That voice… that voice sounds very familiar… where've I heard it? I desperately tried to get my eyelids to open. I needed to see where I was and who the spy is.
It was rather uncomfortable to move my body at all, it made me groan a bit, though I wanted to stay quiet.
"What's this? Oh looks like someone's waking up. Hey, rise and shine, sleepy head!"
I finally managed to open my eyes. My vision was blurry for a second, then it started to clear up. I saw a golden flower in front of me. Wait… that flower… it had a face! I thought that-! I tried to step back, but I found I couldn't move. I put my hands in front of me and they ended up touching something hard and smooth… is this…? Am I in some kind of glass container? I looked around and saw more of my fellow members were unconscious in their own glass containers, including Spike who was in a glass container beside me.
I felt confused and disorientated. This looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. I looked back down at the flower… it was…
"F-Flowey…?"
"Heh, at least you remember me. Howdy Frisk, golly you must be so confused right now!" Flowey snickered.
Of course! Now I know why we could never find him and why he was the perfect spy! We've been trying to scan for monsters and humans… but Flowey isn't a human… nor a monster…
"Normally we would take any member of the resistance and convert them, but since there were so many, we've decided to keep you all imprisoned until Chara decides to RESET," Flowey smirked. "It'll be easier and faster that way, and she said it'll add to tension if we waited until midnight. But this was just so easy, those new leaders you got just practically handed you over. Your original leader must've just given up when his oh so precious brother here got into Chara's army." Flowey gave a sadistic smile.
I knocked against the glass.
"And what's even easier is that none of you were able to even fight back much. What, were you all allergic to fighting or something?" Flowey laughed.
"No, let us out!" I yelled.
"Now, now, Frisk, just settle down. After all, you get to have the honor of meeting Chara before she RESETs." Flowey smirked.
I looked up to see Undyne clicking up another glass container. Inside the container was Toriel, and she looked pretty beat up.
"T-Toriel!" I called. "TORIEL!"
"She can't hear you, punk!" Undyne snapped. "To think you and that little kid managed to trick me and Papyrus, well at least we were able to capture you both in the end!"
What's going to happen to us now? Why is Chara targeting me specifically? I don't know… but I'm sure I'll soon find out.
I looked at the other humans and monsters in the glass containers. We're all getting caught by the soldiers. Flowey was right, those two idiot Jerrys practically sent us all to the slaughter house, and we fell for it like the cattles that we are. Darn it, Sans… did you really let this happen? You should've known a plan like this would've ended up in disaster for all of us. Did losing Papyrus just made you not care anymore?
No… I… I can't just give up now… there's got to be a way out… I looked down at my watch. It was 5:34 pm right now. We still had time, but every second counts right now. I have to find a way to get us out of here or we're all going to be Chara's little slaves for good.
I looked up again to see Flowey and Undyne had moved their attention away from me and were talking to each other. I took this time to look at the monster nearest to me; Spike. He was still unconscious… I need to wake him up somehow. I looked down at my watch and began messing with it. Every member of the resistance had this watch on, it warned us when a RESET was coming and it allows us to communicate with each other. Spike wore one around his neck since he lacked any arms.
While the soldiers were busy moving the other resistance members, I tapped on my watch to connect with Spike's and send an alarm to try and wake him up, but not so loud that the soldiers would hear it. The beeping from Spike's watch was muffled by the glass, but I could hear it thanks to my watch. I looked at Spike, who was starting to stir. Come on Spike, get up…
The little monster kid soon began blinking open his eyes and lazily looked around, before his eyes grew wide in shock and frantically looked around. I knocked on my glass to get his attention and he looked at me.
"Frisk! A-are we captured?" I couldn't hear him through the glass, but the watch transferred his voice quite clearly.
"Yes, Spike. We've been captured, and we need to get out of here," I said. "They're planning to keep us in here until Chara RESETs, we have until midnight. We're going to need help to get out of here, Spike."
"But how? Just about everyone's been captured…" Spike frowned.
"Not everyone…" I said, looking at my watch. "I just hope… our call will be answered…"
FLOWEZ: Yup, Jerry, and look at where it's gotten them now.
The-Jade-Knight of Kozar: And look at how they ended up. Seems Frisk is always getting bad luck whenever she leaves the shelter.
The Rude Girl: Frisk wanted to do that, but she felt she had no right to demand proof since nobody's seen or heard from Sans since Papyrus was taken.
penguinfan28: Heh, that'd be pretty funny to see. How were Snow's puns in the story?
mechasniper51: Yup, they were screwed alright.
vivi05: It can't, hence why they needed the lockdown feature in case the soldiers tries to invade the shelter. And everyone hates Jerry. XP
Bloxxerstudios1: You like it? It is very different from the norm of the Undertale fanfics. It's inspired from a dream I had a while ago. And what is dhmis?
rathix2002: Yeah, my Undertale stories hadn't been the most popular. I'm happy to know you like my other stories, not just the Pokemon one. And sure, I'd love to use those potions on my co-writer. XP And if Mew came it would cause a lot of chaos. ^^'
Minimandy125: Sadly they can't just ditch them since they are their new leaders, and look at where it's gotten them. Sorry for the long wait. ^^'
