*G*

She slept peacefully during the night, I half expected her to wake screaming again but was relieved she didn't. It just made me think of all the things I wanted to do to Gaster to make him pay. She had woken up with an abundance of energy and was practically bouncing about the place. I had lost track of her hours ago and since then I had been trying to help Alphys in the meantime but she sent me away because I was apparently acting grumpy and she was stressed out enough. I rub the back of my skull and wounder, why am I out of sorts? I shake my head and grab a guy carrying a bunch of papers walking past,

"You seen Frisk?"

"She's in main hall with the Prince," he tells me trying to keep all the papers in his grip, for some reason that news irritates me. Nope, not going to dwell on why! I head to the main hall quickly and find them, dancing...

"SANS!" Papy suddenly appears by my side,

"What's going on?" I ask grumpily,

"AN IMPROMPTU PARTY! WE ARE CELEBRATING THE PRINCE JOINING US!" he grins down at me, I watch as more people start to dance, Frisk is laughing as she is spun around by Asriel, "WHAT'S WRONG BROTHER?"

"Nothing," I growl,

"ARE YOU SURE, YOU DON'T LOOK HAPPY?"

"I'm perfectly fine Papy," I cross my arms in defiance, I'm fine, this doesn't bother me, not in the slightest. Frisk's eyes suddenly land on us and she grins that stupid adorable grin she has,

"G!" she waves and beckons me over, I shake my head, Asriel whispers something in her ear, I narrow my gaze as she suddenly blushes bright red and slaps him on the arm while he laughs, she shakes her head and hurries over, "come dance!" she demands,

"No," I respond with a pout,

"What's wrong G?" she asks concerned, I avoid her gaze,

"Nothing," yes I'm being ridiculous, what exactly is wrong with me?

"Come on, come dance with me!" she pulls at my arms, "Or are you scared, can't dance?" she teases, I smirk down at her,

"Is that a challenge doll face?"

"Maybe, but if you don't want to dance, I guess I will just go back to dancing with Asriel," and she starts walking away, nope, not having that, I chase after her picking her up and swinging her around, her giggles make me grin. I will admit, after dancing I felt much better, although I didn't appreciate the smirk Asriel gave me as I kept Frisk from dancing with him again, it was like he knew something I wasn't aware of.

Later in the afternoon we sat in our living quarters, Frisk and Asriel were telling us about the time they first met, apparently Asriel had thought she was Chara. The conversation eventually diverted to our new SOUL colours,

"Well green symbolises kindness, when I use it's aura I can somewhat heal small injuries, so I'm assuming your ability will be enhanced," she's telling Asriel, "I can create a shield too with enough concentration," her thoughts wounder, I watch her eyes go dark from some memory for a moment before she shakes herself and pulls her knees up,

"WHAT ABOUT SANS?" Papy asks, he sounds extremely interested, I have to say I am too, I've never looked into SOUL's all that much, maybe I should, she frowns for a moment but then a slow smile forms on her face and she turns to me,

"Justice," she sits upright and looks around the room, her eyes land on a vase filled with dead flowers, "watch," she raises a hand and her face scrunches in concentration, three yellow orbs flicker into being in front of her palm, she points her finger and they zoom forward. Next moment there's an explosion of dead petals, "cool huh?" she grins, I smile at her,

"Handy," I chuckle,

"I'm not sure what it will do for you though," she shrugs,

"Guess we will see in due time," I respond. We continue talking about about SOUL traits and what she can do with each one until it starts to get late and we all decide it's probably best we get something to eat but as we are about to head out Alphys slams into the room, her eyes wide in panic she runs straight to Frisk and buries her face in Frisk's chest and starts bawling. Frisk looks up at me,

"Undyne," she mutters.

I watched impressed as Frisk took charge, she really was leader of the resistance, she had contacted all branches, those closest to the castle would be lending their assistance, but a few of those here would be going, tensions were high. Alphys hadn't stopped crying and Frisk had given Papy the job of watching over her, I could tell he wasn't happy that she wouldn't let him go on the mission. We had shared a look before he left, he expected me to watch her back, of course I would. Though I'd rather her stay here and I told her as much, "No G, I'm going," she responded looking at her wristband for her DT levels, 74%, her eyes looked up at me, "the main force will just be a distraction, we get in, we get Undyne, we get out, if necessary I can hold off anyone for a while," I didn't like that but she ignores my protests, but I come to the realisation I can't change her mind so with an annoyed sigh I follow her and get into position.

As soon as we appeared in the courtyard I started to have bad feelings, Asriel was with us and was guiding us to where Undyne would be being held, we could already hear the noise of the resistances attack, as we moved quickly my unease started to grow, then that voice rang out in the dark, "Well well well, I knew it wouldn't be long till you showed up," we all turned to see Gaster, he was casually leaning against the wall with his arms folded, but seven disembodied hands floated next to him, palms facing us. The holes in those hands started to glow yellow, suddenly yellow orbs fire quickly towards us but a barrier of green energy stops them,

"Go get Undyne," Frisk tells us,

"I'm not leaving you with him," I hiss, she gives me a hard determined look,

"I got this, I'll be fine I can take him one on one, but Asriel will need your help getting to Undyne, please G,"

"Dammit, you better be damn well perfect when I get back!" I know there's no use fighting this with her she's too determined, I will just have to be quick, I pull on Asriel and he rush away.

*Frisk*

I stare at the man who fills my nightmares, he grins at me, "So just you and me now Frisk," he stands up straight, "do you remember how to use all the traits?" his grin widens as my hands start to glow with an orange aura, "I have to admit, I'm incredibly interested in what you did yesterday," his floating hands start to glow yellow again, "I had to inspect Chara's SOUL after, she took a long time to wake up, I made an amazing discovery, her SOUL had changed, oh it's still red, but much, much darker," he tilts his head, "now why don't you tell me what you did?"

"I'm not telling you a damn thing," I growl launching myself forward, I dodge as he fires at me and swing at him, he's too quick for my fist, but not too quick for the kick that swiftly follows from my glowing blue foot. The fight continues, I get some hits on him, he gets some on me. We are evenly matched, well we were, I let a smile grace my face as I feel determination flow through me, he watches me curiously as my hands start to glow red, his curiosity falters though as I let it build, "I'm ending this now," I tell him, I take a deep breath to ready myself to fire this built up energy but as I am about to release it I'm grabbed from behind, the energy flies wild and hits one of the columns that surround the courtyard. We watch as the column disintegrates, well I didn't know it would have that affect, the blade of a knife presses softly against my throat,

"Hey sissy," Chara's voice giggles in my ear, Gaster is looking at the column with interest but then starts walking towards us, I try to move but the blade digs in, I feel blood trickle down my neck, "no no dear, you can't escape now,"

"Frisk!" G has returned and he looks furious as hell. Asriel beside him holding up a battered Undyne looks fearful, "Don't you dare touch her!" G starts running towards us, but Gaster's hand on my arm throws panic into me,

"G!" I cry out,

"Too late," Gaster grins and everything turns last thing I saw was G's face, a reflection of my own panic and fear.

*G*

No... no no no! I collapse to my knees right where she was just stood, "DAMMIT!" I slam my fist against the ground causing it a crack, I shouldn't have left her alone, I should have had her back, this is my fault! I had promised her I wouldn't let him get her again,

"G, we have to get out of here," Asriel says softly to me, Undyne places a hand on my shoulder, they both have pained looks, I close my eyes and teleport us out, once back at main base I walk away, "G!" Asriel calls after me but I ignore it. I go up to the surface find a suitable looking piece of rubble and slam my fists into it. Heavens know how long I stood there just letting all my anger out, but the rubble was pretty much dust when Papy gently pulled me away,

"I failed Papy, I failed you and most importantly I failed her,"

"WE WILL GET HER BACK," he says giving me a little shake before pulling me into a tight hug, "WE WILL," but even he doesn't sound confident. We don't even know where he took her, he could be anywhere!

*Frisk*

The sterile scent hit me first, then the dull ache in my shoulders. But it was when I tried to move and the sounds of chains shifting that sent fear shivering through me, I don't want to open my eyes, I want to pretend it's just a dream. But I couldn't deny the feeling of the cold metal cuffs around my wrists. I slowly open my eyes to find myself in a familiar white room, tears sting my eyes but I refuse to let them fall. Footsteps, I can hear footsteps getting closer. Then he appears, smiling down at me, I savoured the rage flooding through me, it was better than the fear, "Well then, where were we?" he moves a chair in front of me and sits down with a clipboard in hand, "Ah yes, you were going to tell me about what you did to Prince Asriel and Chara, and I'm suspecting my idiot son Sans," he smiles at me with pen perfectly poised and ready,

"Didn't you hear me earlier, I'm not telling you a damn thing," I snarl out at him,

"Hmm, guess we will have to see about that," he taps his clipboard as two hands appear behind him, "sooner or later you will tell me and you will tell me about the red ability, I would like to add that to my arsenal," the hands glow purple, knowing what's to come I brace myself. I grit my teeth through the pain holding in the scream as beams of energy pulse through me, I will not give into him, "how long do you think you can last Frisk, if you just give into me willingly I wouldn't have to hurt you,"

"Bite me!" I snap, he sighs heavily at me,

"You make this so hard on yourself," he says shaking his head,

"Can't you just pull her SOUL out and examine it for answers?" Chara's voice says from behind him,

"No, I need to know the actions, what the mind if thinking when performing the act," he sounds irritated, good,

"Well I'm bored!" she exclaims coming into the room and smirking at me, she's playing around with a knife, "Can't I go out and play?" she pouts,

"No, you can't draw too much attention to yourself right now," he clucks his tongue at her, she growls in frustration, this all makes me laugh, they both glare at me, but I can't stop the laughter,

"I wouldn't laugh sissy, not when we are connected oh so strongly," she taunts,

"Oh and what you going to do, sister?" she just grins at me then swirls the knife around in her hand and stabs into her leg, at first I'm confused, but then I feel pain, I cry out, it's as if she stabbed me, but the feeling is intensified, she cackles even as blood pours profusely out of the wound,

"Chara you may not feel the pain but that doesn't mean you won't kill yourself," Gaster growls quickly healing her, Chara shrugs,

"I got her to react though," she says in a sing song voice while grinning and skips out of the room. Gaster sighs,

"Let us continue, tell me what you did,"

"No," I spit out through pained breaths,

"Very well," he raises his hand and I'm blasted again, and again and again. Eventually I cry out, I even beg him to stop, but because I refuse to tell him what he wants he keeps going, making it worse each time. I'm not sure if I can hold on...
