Chapter 21 Rising Flames of Hate

—Monday—

Before leaving the house, the kids were warned this will be a harsh day.

—Knowing that you are going to have a bad time with your boyfriend fills you with DETERMINATION—

Frisk was thinking about what will the SAVE point say if she interacts with it now.

Frisk sighted inside. "Why am I think this? It couldn't solve the problem now…" She kept thinking. "I wish it will be a nice day for me and Azzy, I could imagine too many horrible scenes…"

When Frisk was thinking about problems that might occur, Asriel patted her in the head, which drag her back to reality.

"Ready to go, Frisk? It's a beautiful day outside." Unlike Frisk, who was thinking pessimistic about the event coming, her boyfriend was positive.

"OK!" She made up a smile, trying to cover her worries, and picked up her pack. "Let's go."

Knowing Frisk was just making the smile, Asriel wanted to say something but was stopped by his servant.

"Frisk, Asriel," Tempest drew the duo's attention. "Sans and I have a note for you. Keep yourself safe."

"I know." Thought not showing it, Frisk was quite annoyed about this, everyone was like talking to her and Asriel like this for thousands of times. "We will stay safe, of course, who are willing to get themselves hurt?"

"I'm not meaning this, you should be MORE concerned about those who hurt you." Tempest highlighted "more" by using a slower pace when saying it.

"Oh…" Frisk knows Sans made his promise to Toriel, so he will protect Frisk at all cost, and Tempest recognized Asriel as his master, he will also do the same. If anyone tried to hurt them… either a bad time is going to come to them or someone will ruin them mentally.

"Can you two just give them a warning and let them be?" She really sometimes thought these two were maybe a little too overreacting on this.

"I don't think Sans will let them go that easily, neither do I," Tempest tapped his head and thought for a while. "Perhaps if they give us something interesting, we might just spare them and give a warning like you said. BUT if you really got hurt, there is NO MERCY for them."

Toriel's voice came from behind. "My children, it's time for school." She saw the kids are still in the house, so she came in to remind them.

"OK, Mom." They both said and went outside.

—At school—

The first welcoming view was their messed-up locker. Post-it notes were on it with not so polite languages usage on it.

"Such a nice way to start a good day, right?" Frisk told Asriel, while tearing off the notes.

"It's always a good day with you around, no matter how it started." Asriel, who was also removing the notes, replied her.

"Awww! Eating too many Mom's cinnamon-butterscotch pie made you a sweet tongue, isn't it, Azzy?" Frisk answered.

While Frisk and Asriel was enjoying their little flirt, other people around looked at the duo with disgust.

"Weirdos." One of them said.

"I can't believe this shit. Aren't they brother and sister? Disgusting."

And finally, an idiot made the question. "Do they even fit?"

Asriel, who has animal hearing, felt uncomfortable after hearing the last sentence. He bumped Frisk on her shoulder. "I think we should leave now, Frisk. We need to be on time."

Frisk took out her books and shut the locker. "Such in a hurry? We have 5 minutes, and the classroom is just across there." She pointed at a door nearby.

Asriel pointed his floppy ears. "I rather like to have a quieter space."

"Oh," Frisk knew with ears like Asriel's, whatever were around them must make him not feeling well. "Well," Frisk looked at the audience around, and they gave unwelcome gazes back. "Let's go in and spare your ears."

—After a while—

Concentrating makes time go faster, it was noon before Frisk and Asriel could realize it.

"I couldn't wait to eat lunch, I can eat a cow now." Asriel stated with hunger. "Let's find a place to eat. Mom made lunch today."

"Me too. I'm low supply in energy now." Frisk carried her lunch box.

After eating it, both of them didn't feel well.

"Azzy?" Frisk was clinging her stomach in pain.

"I know, Frisk." Asriel felt pain, too.

"I think we need to go to see the school nurse or so." Frisk suggested. And after Asriel nodded, they went to see the nurse.

—After a while—

Toriel rushed in the health center, her worries were written on her face.

"My children! Are you OK?"

"We're fine, Mom. Just a stomach ache." Frisk said.

The school nurse asked Toriel for a while.

"Ms. Toriel. I found these two kids have signs of taking overdoses of laxative."

"Laxative?" Toriel was confused. Why would her children take that?

"Adding laxative into food is a common prank for human teens." The school nurses explained. "But this is the first time I've ever seen someone used so many, it's more like an attack than a prank. It has been quite a while, but the kids are not recovering much." The school nurse looked at Frisk and Asriel, who were still lying down. "At this rate, they need to see a doctor. Monster food couldn't help much since the cause was overdose medicine."

Toriel was furious, of course, she could accept jokes and little pranks in her school, but this was far too serious to be one, let alone it was on her children.

Whoever did this, better prayed he or she would never be found.

Thought she wanted to punish the student who did this, she didn't have clues about who did this, she needed help.

But First, she must show all her students that this kind of behavior is not approved in her school.

Not only for her children, but also for the duty as the school principal, maintaining a peaceful and safe learning environment is her job.

Finding the naughty... no, the despicable student will be second on the list.

Speaking of the incident, she knew if two monsters knew this, they would be VERY concern.

She's quite confident that she could calm the skeleton down, but for the dragon…

Clearly, if her children were sent to hospital, it's impossible to hide it from Tempest. Well, she thought Tempest would appear here at any moment now.

Speaking of the devil, one of the windows in the health center was forced opened, and a gust of wind blew in.

After the wind ceased, Tempest was standing right beside Asriel.

The prince told the dragon something, and the dragon nodded reluctantly.

After that, he turned to Toriel.

"I'll help you to find that asshole, and you will decide his punishment. Master's orders. By the way, call Sans in. He can be a good helper."

The event turned on everyone's nerves.

Toriel insisted that Tempest or Sans send the kids food when it's lunch time, Sans stayed around them in class breaks, when leaving school or going out, one of their friends must be with them.

Asriel and Frisk, who were protected, were quite uncomfortable about having eyes always on them.

But they could understand, the situation now, if they were severely hurt, or even killed. The whole monster race would fell into despair. Just like what happened when Asriel and Chara died, which would be not good.

Every effort that was made in this timeline would reduce to rubble in an instance. The fact that the prince and ambassador murdered by humans were surely an insult to the monster race. Thus, monsters grow hate to humans again. Although humans are much more sophisticated nowadays, whether war would break out or not was still unknown… just like everyone thought that WW2 and those horrible events would never happen back then… but it just happened without warning.

After she destroyed the RESET function, all the SAVE points, although still glowing, lost their function to provide a SAVE. She could no longer make a new SAVE file.

Which means if she dies, the whole process she and all her friend made now, would start over again, back to the place where they see the sunset.

Of course, this will also be solved if she gave up her DETERMINATION. But that seemed to be an impossible event to happen.

Not much people knew this. It was Frisk's request. If possible, she didn't want to let many know that she nearly "cleared" the underground in an "alternative way".

But even worse news came in.

Gaster was using The Jumper to study timelines, he noticed their timeline seemed to be "took a turn" at some point, and went back to the time of the last save. Not like other timelines which were constant flowing smoothly.

According to Gaster, Frisk's act about wrecking the RESET option, and Asriel and Gaster were saved, which couldn't happen by normal means, made some damage to the timeline. So, it's having "errors".

If Frisk was still determined in the end of her life, which is likely to happen, her SOUL will automatically LOAD back to the last SAVE. Which makes everything happen again and again.

All those who know the SAVE points couldn't properly work and this bad news, the one who was affected the most was Sans. He thought the curse of living in an endless of RESETs finally came to an end after Frisk achieved her goal and destroyed the RESET option. And he really did hope the future will be better if he made effort. But after this fact was found, it came to him that he just ended up in a bigger loop.

Not only Sans was not delighted about it, Frisk was also not happy.

All her hard work was just dragging everyone into an endless loop.

But looking on the bright side, they are all together in one piece.

They denied fate once, no reason for why they couldn't do it again.

After Asriel came back, they knew this run is a special, unknown, and promising one, it might be the "TRUE" pacific happy ending for everyone.

But also, they met problems that never exist. The malfunction of the SAVE is an example.

This is not the Underground journey, only days of it. But for years. Too many humans and monsters met, too many chances to grab on, too many options to choose from.

If she wanted to get to this point again after a LOAD occurs. She and all her friends who know her ability to control the timeline must do the exact same things they did in the past. Which was impossible to anyone.

Frisk dislike of this kind of life.

Her purpose of bringing everyone together was to make everyone happy, not letting them live a bigger "underground" life.

She had to do something, instead of watching romance movies and playing games with Asriel, which was quite tempting to her.

"Azzy, we must do couldn't stay here any wait for humans outside to change. That will take forever." Frisk said.

"But… We have no idea where to start." Asriel replied. "Remember your public speech last time? The MTPD even have to bring out pepper spray and riot shields, or the whole place was literally a mess."

Frisk sighed, the situation so far was out of control.

"Then, Let's try to think one then. It's better that sitting around and do nothing."

"How about showing out faces to the public more?" Asriel said. "Or maybe save someone, like in manga?"

"Well, Azzy. The latter is more likely to happen of you're a police officer. So, I'll take the first one. Let's go tell Mom and Dad."

When they entered the dining room, they found a lot of monsters there.

All of their friends were sitting or standing around the dining table chatting, and a blackboard was place on the table.

"You're here, my children." Toriel said when seeing them. "I was going to call you."

"Hello all!" Frisk asked. "What was this for?"

"Kinda of a tactics meeting." Sans said. "About ya and the whole mess, and how to deal with it."

"Now, everyone is here." Asgore stated, and all the chatting stopped. All of them looked at Asgore with awe. Asgore was not that image of a "best Dad" now, but a king of the monsters. "Let's begin."

Frisk looked at Asriel, who was staggered since this was the first time he saw Asgore like this, and giggled. For now, her boyfriend didn't have that kind of aura on him yet. The aura as a leader.

"One day he will become a king like this." Frisk frantically thought. Her thoughts started to drift away for the meeting. "Long smooth horns, a royal like feeling on him with those bright emerald eyes, and even fluffier…" Frisk started to think about the grown-up Asriel imagine how soft it is to snuggle the fur on his chest. "It's so soft like it's not real."

"Frisk?" She heard something, but she ignored it. "Frisk!" This time the voice was louder, yet her imagination went on. "FRISK!" She was been shaken.

"What?" Frisk came back to her thoughts. The first sight was Asriel, who was embarrassed, and then she found everyone looking at her. "What's the matter?" It didn't take long for her to realized that she was snuggling Asriel's arm. What's more, Asriel was wearing long sleeves, so Frisk actually roll up Asirel's sleeve and rubbed on it in front of everyone.

At this moment, Frisk really wanted to dig a hole and jump in.

"Look what you done, little girl. That is why you don't daydream." Frisk thought. "The best way to embarrass yourself."

"Now." Tempest took a stick and pointed at the duo. "Frisk, Asriel. We just made a conclusion that you must get more exposed to the public. We are going to make this official whatever they like it or not!"

Well, that was originally what the duo planned. So they agreed.

—The next day—MTPD—

"Sorry, sir. But I won't accept undercover work." Tempest declined.

This was the third time that the MTPD chief asked him to became an undercover cop.

Among all the humans in the department, the chief was one of the few humans he showed his respect to. Not only he was his superior, but also he didn't look down on Tempest because of his appearance.

"At least, give me the reason. Your magic was the most suitable to do this. And all your conditions fit."

Tempest raised his left claw, showing the delta rune on it.

"This is the mark of the servant. If my master called me, I must respond. How could I be undercover while I have to appear by my master at any time?"

"Who is your master then?"

"Asriel Dreemurr. Prince of monsters." Tempest replied proudly.

Although The MTPD chief didn't know about the royal servant spell, he knew Tempest was not that kind of monster would shy away from hard work. So, he took Tempest's reason. "Well then, I have to find someone else then…" He whispered while leaving.

Undyne came over and patted Tempest's back. "Hey! Temp!"

The dragon turned around. "What is it, madam?"

Undyne crossed her arms and said "Alphys said she's interested in ya crossbow. She wanted to take a closer look."

"Which? I have a lot of them."

"The one you used in target practice yesterday, that one which was half-auto firing."

Tempest took it out from his storage magic and offered to Undyne.

"I never seen crossbows could reload itself, so did Alphys. That is why she's interested." Undyne took the crossbow. "Do you remember where did you get this?"

"My cousin made it for me. As a birthday gift."

Undyne took a closer look. The whole weapon was in black, there are two sides of the crossbow, one side up and one side down, both of them could load one bolt, and a steel cylinder in the middle which surrounded the main body, except the arc, on the left the cylinder was a hanger, serving as a bolt magazine, and the trigger was on the under part of the cylinder. And a special mark on the main body.

"Can I try it out?"

"Why not? Let's find a place."

Both of them went to a shooting field to test the weapon out.

Undyne pulled the trigger and fired a bolt.

The main body spun inside the cylinder, also bringing the arc to spin, while a unnoticeable blue magic helped to reload and armed the crossbow.

The whole process was only for a split second, and the crossbow was ready to fire again.

"Wow! Your cousin was really a creator." Undyne fickled the bow string to find out how tense the string is. "This kind of tenseity, it needs about 10 to 12 seconds to finish the whole reload."

"Yeah… But unfortunately, he's now in some kind of 'inventer's block'. He didn't have the motivation to make things except for me." Tempest fell into memory. "After that…"

"Do you think he will be friends with Alphys and Gaster?" Undyne said. "Although they are quite different in personality. But they are both great creators."

"Yes… I think." Tempest scratched his head. "After all, it's a delight to meet someone alike. Perhaps, they can help with his inventer's block."

And a duo of people walked by, Undyne and Tempest overheard what they were talking.

"Those little kids don't even know what they are doing!"

"Sure, they are such a disgrace…"

The police itself was actually a more conservative unit than others, since its military like nature. So, recently, Undyne and Tempest hear some people chatting about the monster-human couple, mostly negatively. Both Tempest and Undyne were not happy about this. While Undyne wanted to decorate their faces with her fists, Tempest wanted to slap their lips with a wooden plank. (During ancient China, criminals who verbally offended the judge often got slapped on the lips until they couldn't speak.)

But this is a world of freedom, respecting different opinions is a must, so Tempest and Undyne didn't react much on this.

Also, the MTPD chief warned all of the officers in the muster.

"I don't care what opinion are you on, as long as you're an MTPD officer and I am your MTPD chief, you must work together to aid any citizen who is in trouble, regardless of their preference." Not long, but he made his statement clear enough.

Undyne took a deep breath.

"This is really a mess. Hope it will end soon."
