Chapter Twenty Eight: Angel, Demon and a monster Part sevin: Food
With Khara, Toriel, etc.
"Do you two have anything on them yet?" Toriel asked 2 boys who where over huge computer, the two were Percy, and Allen two of the commanders from the gentle darkness.
"No ma'am we have not found them yet, neither of us are power trackers like Dale and his squad, we did however pick up on a massive power source on our radar, but we have a couple of problems that are holding us back from sending out a team to go look." Percy said looking at the gote monster.
"What do you mean problems is that your friend and brother out there?" Toriel said getting worried about a problem that would be able to hold the darkness organization back from finding their head commander, best fighter, their best friend and brother in arms and blood.
"You see " Allen started "for one we don't know what kind of power signature we picked up. With Cooper having so many different powers and each having a different signature of their own we put the scanner to detect all powers higher than sans. That problem leads into who is letting that power loss. We know where every single monster that has that kind of power is as far as we know so there are 3 different options that we see of who the power is from. Number one it could be them, number two thair is another strong being on this world we don't know and they are fighting or training, with that option we don't know if they are friend or fo, and option three is that it is a trap."
"So what will you do?"
"We will start searching for a power source that is unique to Cooper as far as we know, his eyes if they start to spin even a little they give off a massive very uniqu and normally undetectable power wave, but with this we are looking for Coopers natural ability to copy things and then reproduce that power or move or cancel other powers or moves out, in a form of a high frequency wave that goes past even gamma rays so that the radar will pick it up."
"Ok good find them."
"Did you find them?" Toriel asked Sans, who teleported in.
"Sorry, Tori." Sans said. "Still no luck."
"Well" Toriel said, sighing sadly. "Check up on Khara. She's taking this pretty hard."
"Will do." Sans said. He teleported to the Judgement Hall, where Khara was (and had been since Chara, Cooper, and Frisk's disappearances two weeks ago). Khara was expelling a ton of energy and looked exhausted. She was panting heavily, sweat pouring off of her face.
"You okay, Khara?" Sans asked, concerned for the Nekomon. "You don't look so good."
"You have no idea how it feels." Khara said, stopping the expulsion of her energy, trying her hardest not to pass out or break down. "You don't know how it feels to not be with your child for thirteen years, reuniting with her only to see her taken."
"Well" Sans said, putting a hand on Khara's shoulder. "I've lost Papyrus more times than I can count. That's gotta be like that in a sense."
"I know." Khara said. "But, Chara's my only daughter, born of me and my lover, Grey. She's the only think I have left of my previous life."
"We'll find them all of them ." Sans said.
With Chara, Cooper, and Frisk
Chara, Cooper and Frisk appeared in a town, Cooper still carrying Frisk and Chara, several people (all humans) around them turning to look at the three teenagers with strangely colored eyes (remember, Chara's eyes looked like they did in her demon form (minus the bleeding) and Frisk's were still greyish blue and Cooper has his eyes uncovered ), dressed in red and white uniforms that had large green hearts on them and one with a straight jacket with hooks on the straps.
"Where are we?" Frisk asked, looking around.
"No idea." Cooper said, shrugging. "I just teleported us to get us out of that facility."
"So" Frisk said. "You have no idea where this place is?"
"Well" Cooper said. "I was thinking of it when I teleported, so we should be nearby. The problem is, I don't know where it is in relation to here."
"Do you think we should ask around?" Frisk asked.
"Maybe." Chara said. A growl interrupted them and she got off of Cooper.
"First." Frisk said, embarrassed. "Let's get something to eat."
"That was your stomach?" Chara said laughing. "I thought it was mine."
"Maybe we're both hungry." Frisk said, laughing.
"I feel like I haven't eaten in weeks." Chara said.
"Chara" Cooper said. "You feel like that if you haven't eaten in two hours."
"Well, I'm still hungry." Chara said. "Let's find something to eat."
"Just don't clean the place out." Frisk said, smiling.
"Frisk." Chara said, mischievously smiling. "You better be careful what you say. I still remember your weakness."
"W-weakness?" Frisk asked, getting a little nervous
.
"Yep." Chara said, leaning close to Frisk's ear and whispering, a grin on her face. "I know you're still veeery ticklish."
"You wouldn't." Frisk said, starting to get a little nervous.
"Wouldn't I?" Chara asked, her tone suggesting that she would.
"Right." Frisk said. The two of them looked around for a restaurant. Chara noticed a store nearby and walked into it.
"Why are we going in here?" Frisk asked.
"Need a quick snack." Chara said. "Can't search for food on an empty stomach."
"If you were anyone else" Frisk said. "That'd make no sense."
"Look" Chara said. "I don't know when the last time I ate was, but I need a snack to tide me over."
"Understood." Frisk said, getting down from Cooper's grip. Chara walked over to the food section, passing through the children's toys section.
"I never understood half of these toys." Frisk said, picking one up. It was a set of cards.
"Well" Chara said. "You weren't raised as a human. Human stuff might not be your thing."
"Well, these are cute." Frisk said, picking up a set of cat ears that was part of a larger Halloween costume (apparently, the store hadn't cleared out its October stock yet).
"They're too small for you though." Chara said. "That's for children."
"Well, still." Frisk said, putting them back.
"Maybe later." Chara said, a gleam in her eyes. "Now, help me find something that'll tide me over until we find a restaurant."
"How about those?" Frisk asked, pointing to a bunch of granola bars. I've heard they keep you from being super hungry."
"Sweet." Chara said, taking a few. Her expression then turned to one of realization.
"What?" Frisk asked.
"We have no G." Chara said.
"Actually" Frisk said, pulling a small pouch full of G out of her pocket. "I found this when we were inside the facility. It should have enough to get us something to eat."
"Sweet." Chara said, grabbing two bars for each of them and walking up to the register. The cashier looked at them in small confusion.
"Nice costumes." He said. "But, Halloween was a few months ago. And, what's up with your eyes?"
"What do you mean, 'what's up with my eyes'?" Chara asked, then noticing a mirror on the back wall.
"They look like that." Chara said. "Though, usually it's when I'm angry."
"Interesting." The cashier said, shrugging. "So, what're you buying?"
"these." Cooper said, placing the bars down on the register, along with the appropriate amount of G.
"Okay." The cashier said, nodding. "Is that all?"
"Yep.' Chara said, her and Frisk leaving the store
.
"Hold on." Frisk said, running into the store really quickly and running back out two minutes later.
"What'd you get?" Chara asked.
"You'll see." Frisk said, a mischievous grin on her face.
"I'll bet I will." Chara said, chuckling.
"So." Frisk said, thinking as the two of them ate their bars. "What should we do now?"
"We should find a restaurant." Cooper said, his mouth full of her bars. Frisk managed to pick the words up all the same.
"Yeah." Frisk said. "But, where is one?"
"Not sure." Chara said. "We could just look around."
"Guess it's our only option.' Frisk said.
The two of them walked around until they found what looked like a restaurant. They walked inside, the waiter coming up to them.
"Hello." He said, glancing at their eyes briefly. "How can I serve you?"
"Well" Chara said, shrugging. "You can start by finding us a table."
"Right this way." The waiter said, leading them to a table. The two of them got menus and browsed them, Chara skimming quickly to the meat section while Frisk looked all over.
"So" the waiter asked. "What can I get you?"
"Something that bleeds when I take a bite out of it." Chara said.
"So, meat then?" the waiter asked. "Like steak?"
"Pretty much, yeah." Chara said. "As rare as you can legally get it."
"I'll take some too." Frisk said. "But, a little more done."
"I just need water and lots of it" Cooper told the waiter
The waiter nodded, heading into the kitchen and giving the chef their order. Chara, Cooper and Frisk sat in their seats, leaning forward and talking.
"So" Frisk said. "We need to figure out where we're gonna go from here."
"I don't know." Cooper said. "Probably head north."
"Why north?" Frisk asked.
"I don't f #$ing know.' Cooper said, shrugging. "I have no idea where to go. The place isn't nearby. We saw most of this town walking here."
"Right." Frisk said, thinking. "We don't have any leads, so we may just have to look around some more or ask someone."
"Excuse me." A voice said from nearby them. "But, could you three please turn around? You two in the red and white uniforms and the one in the jacket."
Chara and Frisk turned around to see what resembled a skeleton wearing ghostly robes. Cracks were in his skull both of them stemming from his eyes.
"Who are you?" Chara asked, her tone getting defensive and threatening. "And what do you want?"
"I am a friend." The skeleton said, bowing slightly.
"Well, excuse me if I don't trust you." Chara said, her and Frisk standing up, Chara standing in front of Frisk and Cooper behind her. "But, the last man I remember with skeleton hands wasn't really on the same side as me."
"I assure you I will not harm you." The skeleton said, holding his hands up.
"So" Chara said. "What do you want?"
"I wish" the skeleton said. "For you to follow me."
"And if we refuse?" Chara said, her voice nearly a growl.
"You may never regain your memories.' The skeleton said.
"Give us a name." Chara said. "Then we'll talk."
"My name is Gaster." The skeleton said. "You do not need to introduce yourselves. I already know who you are."
"What do you want?" Frisk asked.
"I wish to take you home." Gaster said, holding out his hand to Chara and Frisk.
Chara suspiciously took Gaster's hand, holding Frisk's hand and Cooper holding on to Frisk's shoulder . Gaster then teleported, taking the three of them with him.
