"Fuck!" The overall sounds of splashing water and seagulls calling from above muffled the struggling sounds of the tall red skeleton untying his boot.

"Yup..." G! sighed, he could not agree more with his doppelganger. Emptying his pocket, the sight of his cigarette pack all drenched and empty was definitely a disheartening sight to see.

"Who cares about that! We're stuck in the middle of the fuckin' ocean!"

If I knew this was going to happen, I would have stayed with my sweetheart. Wrapping that soft body of hers in my arms, burying my skull in the crook of her warm neck. Shit, even just being her watchful guardian when she reverts to her tiny self is better than this. Even when she fuckn' can't remember shit 'bout me, I still get to see that perfect smile. Fuck space, fuck the sea! This shit ain't worth it! Nah, 'stead fuck that forgetful little piece of sh-

"At least we have something to sit on."

"Sit on?! Are you shitting' me!? Caus' all I see is that we only have this stupid small piece of scrap metal keeping us away from whatever the fuck is in these waters!!" G dug his phalanges at the side of the only thing keeping them afloat as G!fell threatened to sink them from his outburst. As good as relaxing to the sounds of waves and the smell of the sea sounded to him, he couldn't find any fault in G!fell's concern. He knew Outer!Sans' little space scooter was not going to hold both of them without complications. However, he never would have guessed that they would suddenly crash down to earth surround by miles of water. Now both tall skeletons found themselves floating on top of said scooter. Sitting in the middle of nowhere until they could come up of some way of escaping.

After Ink had left them back on Outertale, they had to find another means of escaping, easier said than done. Fortunately for them, Outer!Sans had a theory of how they could get out. There was no guarantee that they might end up in a better situation then in what they were currently in. But G!fell was adamant in returning as quickly as possible back to his world. G!Sans also wanted to return even if he wanted to help return the small child back to where she belonged. The only reason they even decided to go was that they thought they could be of some help. They never thought that Ink would just dump them in space. All in all, the two G!s went along with Outer!Sans' idea of going through a small tear in space that might lead to a different multiverse. In theory it sounded like a good idea. Guess the G!'s found how that turned out.

Out in the open body of water, G! was starting to regret his rash decision-making. He should be enjoying what little time he had with his Frisk before they go off to the Underground's core in their universe. He had a feeling he may never see her again once he gets there. Nevertheless, if they ever want to fix the underground to how it used to be, they didn't have a choice. The small sense of justice in him, made him want to put things back into order. Even if, he didn't know what fate lies after it. Maybe he and his brother will survive the reset, or maybe they were doomed to break back to who they used to be. Losing themselves in the process.

Finally able to remove his wet boot, G!fell dumped the small pool of water that had found its way in. Busy mumbling a string of profanities as he tried to dislodge whatever else that might have snuck into his boot, he failed to notice the sound of wood creaking as it broke the water apart behind him. "Huh?" He grumbled when he felt G! elbowing his ribs for attention. Turning his head towards where G! was looking at, G!fell noticed the large ship that made its way towards them. Both G! and G!fell eye sockets widen as the boat came dangerously close to crashing into them. "SHIT!"

The makeshift waves created by the boat, jostled the two skeletons, threatening to capsize them. All they could do was hold on to dear life as their screams fought against the crashing sound of the waves. Too distracted by fear, they didn't hear the sounds of chains quickly rolling down and crashing into the water putting the boat to a standstill. When the water stopped its relentless movement, the tall skeleton duo found that they had resorted to embracing themselves in the short amount of time. Quickly pulling themselves apart, G!fell furiously stood from their small spot, waving his boot at the boat.

"What the FUCK is wrong with ya's! Are ya trying to KILL US!! Caus' if ya are, then I got one thing to say's to ya's and it ain't-"

"aye, and what exactly are ya planning to do with just ye boot there?" G!fell's boot took that moment to wiggle in his hand before reveling a small fish peeking out and plopping back into the water.

"Sans?" G! squinted his eye sockets as he tried to get a clearer view of the short skeleton standing at the nose of the ship.

"ay, but i prefer to be called as pirate sans, seeing as ya be resembling me a bit. gotta say, i never suspected to sees a couple of stranded bones in the middle of the ocean." Not the Sans he was hoping to see, but a Sans nevertheless. He was wearing a blue tunic with gold pattern on the back and a blue three-cornered hat tilted to the side, black trousers with a belt and boots. Sans also wore an eyepatch on his left eye and even though it was hard to see, the small lower part of his skull was broken off in the form of a soul. "well, at least not alive enough to threaten me with a boot."

"G'YAAAARRRRRRR! SANS! WHY HAVE YE LOWERED ANCHOR?! WE HAVE YET TO REACH THE ISLAND OF MAURITIUS! I, CAPTAIN OF THIS BOAT HAVE AN IMPORTANT MEETING TO ATTEND TO WITH THE MERMAID UNDYNE CONCERNING WITH SURRENDERING MY FIRST MATEY FRISK!" A voice sounding a lot like Papyrus, took Pirate Sans' attention.

"cap'n, ay don' think our lass was captured. but we do have a problem down in the waters." Peeking the Captain's curiosity, Papyrus went towards the front of the boat to see what was causing the hold up. Upon noticing the stranded skeletons, he quickly rushed towards the long chain connected to the anchor. Sliding his way down, he skillfully landed near the water with his boot planted firmly on one of the closed links.

The Captain, much like Sans, wore a tunic but in red. His three-cornered hat hid most of the scar of what seemed to be a larger crack on his skull and his boots covered what looked like rapier blades for legs. Seeing the state of this universe's Papyrus, it was surprising to see such a cheerful smile on him. "SHIVER ME TIMBERS! IF IT AIN'T ME BROTHERS FROM BEYOND THIS WORLD! HOW YE GET HERE?" Noticing their withered state, Papyrus gave them a comforting smile before ordering Pirate!Sans to lower a couple of ropes to help them onto the ship. "WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE, ME AND MY BROTHER WILL ASSIST AS MUCH AS WE CAN." He cheerfully announced while sticking his hand out towards them. G! smiled and grabbed his hand in return.

"Thanks Pap. Always good to see a friendly face."

"AYE! TIS ALWAYS BEST TO FIND SOLACE IN THE PEOPLE YE KNOW DURING HARD TIMES. WELL, IN THIS CASE PEOPLE YE CAN RECOGNIZE." G!Sans couldn't agree more. After Pirate!Sans helped aboard the stranded skeletons, the Captain saw it to himself in making sure that his new guests where comfortable before hoisting sails.

Far off, in another multiverse, deep down under the ground where the cavern stayed in an unchanging state of winter, a lanky skeleton in baggy dark clothing, desperately searched throughout the area. Dragging a human around by the chained collar around her neck, he never rested as he left the area in disarray. Digging his phalanges into the snow where is older brother once stood until they cracked from strain. But even then, he never stopped his search.

my'lord!! please bro, come back!

"NgghGgh...YoUr hu-hurTing m-mE..." Frisk struggled to fight against her captor's grip. But in her weaken state; she was no match for the raw desperation of the lanky skeleton. Her resistance against his pull unhinged him that he pulled the chain even harder; making her stumble until she crashed onto him. He grabbed her face, crushing it between his hand.

"shut up!" His magic flared before quickly shoving her away into the snowy ground to return to his search. But hearing the small thud of her skull hitting something harder than snow, he stopped in his tracks to look at her. Sprawled onto the ground, unmoving, he let out a long sigh before bending down. Gently grabbing her shoulder, he helped sit her up. Her face covered by her short silky hair, he tried combing it back with his hand to see if he had damaged her in any way.

Feeling a small bump on the side of her head, he silently cursed himself for causing it. He didn't mean to hurt her, well... not unintentionally, especially out of his own anger. Her eyes widen into pitch-black orbs as her mouth stretched into a goopy twisted smile. "hey," he snapped his phalanges to get her attention. "snap out of it. look...i'm sorry kiddo. can you come back. i...i can really use your help in finding my'lord."

Frisk blinked a couple of times before closing her eyes once more. Swapfell!Papyrus or Slim or how other au's like to refer to him as, usually never talked a lot, just limiting himself to saying a couple of words here and there. So hearing him speak in a full sentence, must really mean he was not in the best state in the moment. Nodding yes, they both got up from the ground and continued their search. Hearing snow crunching from the distance, the lanky skeleton shoved Frisk behind him, shielding her from any unknown threat that might appear. "Papyrus? What are you doing out here? Why the hell is this place such a mess?" Slim groaned in frustration when he saw that there was no danger. He rather wished it was so he could let out some steam. "Comedian~ hello?" The newcomer waved her hand in front of his skull.

"chara, i'm busy."

"Busy as in what? Dragging a dead girl around for fun?" Slim clicked his teeth in irritation. The last thing he wanted at the moment was to hear the most annoying human wasting his time, let alone insult his human. shouldn't she be annoying monsters or breaking the barrier or...something!? Even so, he could probably do with having a few more sets of eyes to help with the search.

"my'lord's missing, be useful and search the area for anything... strange." Chara placed her hands on her hip and gave him a questioning glare. Slim ignoring her, both he and Frisk continued on with the search. "where's the rat you like to drag around so much."

"Temmie? Why do you want to know?"

"it'll actually be more useful then having you staring at my back."

"Yeah~ no. Not letting you guys near him again. Practically scared the shit out of him last time." The lanky skeleton smirked; his brother had a way of causing that effect when threatening someone to devour his glass filled burritos.

"PapYruS... I thiNk I fouNd soMetHing." Frisk soft voice snapped him back to the present. Quickly going towards where she was, he noticed she was digging something out of a bush. Pulling her hand out, Slim saw that it was covered in a black substance. Chara leaning over his shoulder, he could feel his bones stiffen by the sudden contact.

"What's that? More of your tears?"

"It's nOt miNe-"

"it's ink."

"Ink?"

"iNk?"

Slim tiredly sighed. He really didn't want to deal with that lot, that's the only reason why he kept telling himself that he didn't see what he thought he saw. Which was his brother Sans pushing what looked like another skeleton with a large paintbrush. He really hoped it was his eye sockets playing a trick on him and that his brother just somehow slipped and buried himself into the snow. Even though it sounded silly, it was still better.

why the fuck was that painting freak here in the first place. he knows how my'lord gets when he's around. always bringing false hopes that sans could finally show how great he truly was.

But no, Ink always favored the blue baby version of his brother. the little spoiled manipulative little creep! Well, he suppose his brother might also be a bit spoiled but at least he was honest when he wants to be. Unlike the other one who uses shameless tactics to get what he wants.

Sighing again, which he found that he's been doing a lot of today, he pulled Frisk back close into his arm, which rewarded him with a slight squeak coming from her sweet little mouth of hers. One arm snaked across her waist while his free hand reached towards her left ink-stained hand. Resting his chin on her shoulder, he raised her hand forward. His magic building up, he let a small pulse flow through his hand onto hers. Instantly, the ink reacted creating a strange spark in the air.

Catching Chara gawking at his shameless display of affection, he smirked towards her, causing Chara to grit her teeth before she stomped away. He always enjoyed making her jealous, a simple but effective way to show who Frisk actually belonged to. After several minutes passed, the spark in the air increase and momentarily blinding them both.

"alright, ink you little fucker. bring back my'lord-"

"Sorry, Slim. But you called the wrong person." When the area cleared up, he saw that he was indeed not talking to the painting skeleton but the monochromatic human.

"great, it's the bland looking human." not who i wanted to call, but it'll have to do. "look, do you know where my'lord is." Upon asking the question, Core stared blankly at him, which irritated him to no end. Summoning a bone, he stabbed between the links of Frisk's chain down into the ground before rushing to grab Core by her grey jumper. "do ya know where he is are ya don't, it's one or the other, you impassive little freak!"

"Wow, haven't heard you talk so much before. You're usually so quiet."

"yeah, i get like this when my brother is missing!!"

"Sorry sorry, just had a lapse of memory there. I get so many views from so many universes that I get sidetracked a lot." In a huff, Slim released Core in favor of retrieving the embedded chain. "Look, I found your brother in UnderSwap not too long ago. I was going to bring him back to you until I saw a small glimpse of Dust!Sans chasing a human. It was all a blur so I thought it was the human I was looking for. Not sure where I dropped him."

"...not...sure?"

"Don't worry, from what I can tell, he's safe. Just wait here and I'll get him back before you know it." Before Slim could snatch Core, she blinked out of his reach leaving him alone in the snowy forest and his now shivering human. He sighed heavily and dragged his human along.

"PapYruS?"

"it's cold, we're going to Muffet's." Frisk smiled to herself, knowing that he would rather wait in the snow for his brother then go back empty handed. The small gesture warmed her soulless body.

Standing in the dark save space he called home, a skeleton in white stared at his alter self as he stomped around his place, uninvited.

"WHY THE FUCK CAN'T YOU TAKE ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING PLANE OF EXISTENCE YOU BLEEDING LOW LIFE!?" Geno!Sans scratched the bottom spot of his skull. He knew that he was complaining about trying to find something to kill time, but this was not what he had in mind. "YOU WILL TAKE ME OUT THIS PLACE THIS VERY INSTANT! I WILL NOT BE HELD PRISONER BY SOMEONE AS WEAK AS YOU!!" He wasn't sure why Core fazed by his place holding a very angry Swapfell!Sans and just left him behind. But thinking back, this wasn't the first time she just dropped something by. The human was so scattered brained sometimes, he's surprised she hadn't lost things more often.

He was all up for some idle chitchat with another version of himself, just not this one. Digging his hands into his white jacket pocket, he resign to babysitting the angry little skeleton until someone came by and picked him up.

"look here berry-"

"IT'S BLACK!"

"...what?"

"NOT BERRY, OR RASPBERRY!! IF I MUST LEAVE BEHIND MY OWN NAME IN THE SAKES OF CONFUSION, THEN I RATHER BE CALLED BLACK! I WILL NOT BE DOWNSIZED TO THE SECOND BERRY!!"

second berry? what's he talking about?

Swapfell!Sans paced in front of Geno, going in a long explanation on how he was better in every way. How he was not the darker version of the original. "HE IS JUST THE IMPERFECT VERSION OF MYSELF! HOW CAN SOMETHING SO FAINT-HEARTED BE THE ORIGINAL WHEN I'M SO MUCH STRONGER!? HE WOULDN'T LAST ONE MINUTE IN MY WORLD AND I REFUSE TO BE COMPARED TO HIM IN ANY FORM OR MANNER!!"

original? ut!sans...? no wait... is he talking about blue? as in underswap!sans?

Swapfell!Sans, or Black as he seems to be wanting to be called as, just kept on going; listing all the ways why he was so much better than his counterpart. Compared to the fell version of Papyrus, this little ball of anger doesn't know when to quit. If put in the same situation, Underfell!Papyrus would just glare at him, maybe throw an insult or two, but other than just stand patiently for someone to arrive. He wasn't quite sure why all versions of Papyrus' were more composed then all his own versions. All his swapversions always ended up a bit spoiled.

"alright alright, blackberry it is then." Which wasn't much of a difference then hisprevious nickname."look, i understand that you want to leave this place and return home. but i can't do that, the best i can do is take you to another place almost like the one we're in right now."

"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO FOOL ME! I KNOW VERY WELL YOU CAN STEP BACK INTO OUR WORLD!" Black angered by the thought of Geno or anyone in fact would try to fool him, he tried to grab Geno in attempt to threaten him. Geno seeing Black trying to get a hold of his scarf, he quickly backstepped and summoned bones towards him.

"don't touch the scarf."

Being caught off guard by the sudden display of magic, Black found that he couldn't move out of the way in time. Black shielded himself with his arms and awaited for the impact. But instead of bones, he felt something soft knocking him to the ground. Pushing away from whomever it was that assisted him in dodging away from the upcoming attack, he quickly got up from the ground. "I DON'T NEED RESCU- FRISK? WHY ARE YOU HERE!! AND WHY ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR COLLAR!!" Taking a step towards the human on the ground, Geno grabbed his shoulder, keeping him from getting any closer. Before Black could reprimand him for stopping him, he noticed that he had made a mistake. "YOU... YOU ARE NOT MY HUMAN."

Instead of a red and black sweater, the human was wearing the generic coloring sporting a small red bow in her hair with similar white fault lines that Geno had. "nope, she's mine. so i'd appreciate it if you didn't touch her." Black shrugged off Geno's hand from his shoulder and stepped out of the way to let the semi-dead skeleton help Frisk get up from the ground. "and you..." addressing the human, "stop putting yourself in danger." Frisk just gave her signature smile which Geno returned by ruffling her hair.

"GAG ME. NO WONDER YOUR HUMAN LOOKS WEAK."

"hey-"

"JUST HURRY UP AND TAKE ME OUT OF HERE!"

"i told you, i can't."

"AND WHY NOT!?"

"don't know if you could understand, but i'm not in the best of shape to be going out of this save space."

"WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THAT AS LONG AS I'M FREE FROM HERE." He crossed his arms and looked away.

"...cause...i don't want to die?" Black raised his brow bone at him. "i'll turn into dust."

"AND?" Sensing the tension between the two skeletons, Frisk hurriedly changed the subject.

"Hey... uh Sans, you've been having a lot of visitors lately. Is something going on?"

"VISITORS? SOMEONE ACTUALLY CHOSE TO COME HERE? HOW LAUGHABLE."

"guess i should be offended but, it is strange."

"BESIDES MYSELF AND THE MONOCHROMATIC HUMAN, WHO ELSE CAME BY HERE?"

"Well, there was that little girl." Frisk recalled seeing Geno holding a small child in his arm before she vanished. Not giving her a chance to see who it was.

"WHAT LITTLE GIRL?! WHAT DID SHE LOOK LIKE?! WHAT WAS HER NAME? TELL ME NOW!!" Geno pushed Frisk behind him, keeping her away from the angry skeleton.

"...yeah a little bubbling kid came by a few days ago but glitched away pretty quickly. she's cute. why, you know her?"

"SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER YOU IDIOT!"

"daughter!!!?"

"Sans you have a daughter!?" Red stained across Geno's skull as his eye socket widen, starring at Frisk's suggestive grin.

"of course i don't!!"

"Hu-hu-hu, Sans I didn't know there was someone you like. Hey hey, who is it?" Frisk teased while Sans tried to cover his overheated skull. "Oooh, I know!" Frisk pressed her body close to Sans, startling him as her face turned into flirty mode. "It's... Drunk Bun!"

"...what?" Theabrupt comment caught him off guard that iterased his blush completely.Frisk jumped away from him and placed her hands on her hips.

"Yeah! It has to be her! Who else can it be? Every time I met her, she always flirted with you. actually the only I could remember that might have had an interest in you.Almost as if you two had some history together!" The human mumbled a couple of other monster's she wouldn't mind seeing Sans paired off, but stopped when she found herself talking like Alphys trapped in one ofher fantasies.

"DRUNK BUN? YOU MEAN THAT SLUTTY RABBIT PAPYRUS ALWAYS STAVED OFF HIS HEAT WITH?"

"Oh my god!" Frisk grabbed Geno by his shoulder, "Sans! You go into heat!!?"

"w-what! o-of course not!!" And with that, his blush returned into full bloom. He couldn't believe he could ever be more mortified in his borderline life.

"I can totally understand why you would choose her! She's a total babe! You know how many times I tried talking to her!!? But I could never get her attention because she was always drunk!" Frisk quickly rushed towards Black who had his arms crossed, glaring at the two. "Hey, do you think I can look like a hot guy!?"

"WHAT!?"

"I always thought I could pass as a relatively cute guy. But if I try hard enough, I think I might be able to reach hotness status. Well, not as hot as a bartender we all know." Black tipped his skull to the side, glaring at Geno if he could voice in anything in regards to his human's weird behavior. But Geno just stood there, with a stupid look in his face that told him he's in a bigger loss for words then Black was.

"THIS IS WHY MOST OF OUR HUMANS ARE SILENT. WHO KNOWS WHAT STUPIDITY MIGHT COME OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS." Turning his attention back towards Frisk, he pinched the bridge between his eye sockets. "WE WHERE TALKING ABOUT A TINY HUMAN, WERE WE NOT?" Frisk nodded. "NOT A SKELETAL RABBI-" Noticing that Black's patience was wearing thin as Frisk was wearing her neutral face with an air-headed vibe around her; Geno intervened by pushing Frisk to the side.

"calm down black-"

"I AM CALM!!!

"heh, easy there" Geno raised his hands as if calming down a wild animal. "okay, so why are you asking for the kid? did something happened to her?"

"OF COURSE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER! SHE WAS LEFT IN THE HANDS OF THAT BUMBLING PAINTING IDIOT AND A DESTROYER OF WORLDS! WHAT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TO HER!? BUT I THE MALEVOLENT SANS, HAVE ACQUIRED AN IMPORTANT CLUE ON WHERE THE TINY HUMAN BONBON WAS LAST SEEN! NOW THE PATHETIC GROUP OF THE STAR SANS' WILL HAVE NO REASON WHY THEY CANNOT ALLOW ME TO JOIN! MWHAHAHAHA!"

"Wiggity wiggity what's up my Brah! Did someone just say the name of the itty-bitty chocolate covered marshmallow? I think I did!" Both Sans' froze in place as the strange new guest came rolling by on a skateboard. "What up my radical me's!? How did the un-groove-static burning ball of anger of a berry skele get to a place like this?"

"FUNK OFF!" Black's bone brow twitched in irritation when he noticed that he was being censured.

"Broseph, watch it with that colorful lingo. I'm just here to give out a totally fresh-like help. You know, help ya get back to your humble abode. While abso-radly finding that adorable human. So, my dark-little brotastic friend, why don't you tell Fresh here what you know." He said while bopping Black on the cheek.

"I AM NOT GOING TO STAND AROUND AND LISTEN TO YOUR HORRID-SELF!" Fresh slung his arm around Black's shoulder, causing panic in the dark skeleton. "GET YOUR SWAGGY HANDS OFF OF ME!"

"Wow, that's totes cold. Well, it's not like there's anywhere else you can go. Seeing how I'm the only one in here that can get you out safely." Fresh said in a not so subtle threat thathung in the air. Letting go of the dark skeleton,who was frozen in fear, (he disregarded Geno, seeing how he looked too confused to help him at the moment), Fresh decided to look at Frisk instead. "How ya doing my little swagalicious friend." Seeing Frisk with her eyes open in aww, ticked Geno off that he rushed over to hide her behind him once more.

"sorry fresh, but i only held the kid for a moment before she disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"yeah, sorry we're not much help-"

"You had her in your arms when she poofed? Do you remember any magic signature that crawled over her itty-bitty body?"

"...yes...why?" Fresh began to vibrate in excitement before exploding into a cloud of smoke. Everyone covered their face until the smoke cleared. When it did, Fresh grabbed Geno's shoulder.

"That's a radical discovery my tragically-cool broseph! I bet you can now identify the tiny freshtastic human by just being in the surrounding area! By just picking up her rad-like energy!" Ever since Corecloaked the small human's soul to prevent her biological fathers from sensing her and going into a panic, Freshalong with the other searchers were having a difficult time finding her."Brah, mind helping a rad dude like myself in finding the funky-"

"love to, but can't. like i told black, i can't leave." Fresh stared at Geno for a bit, creating an uncomfortable silence. Fresh turned around and looked over to where Black was trying to ignore the whole scene.

"Heh, no problem my cooltastic bro." Fresh removed his shades and dark purple smoke-like tendrils seeped out of his eye sockets. Before anyone could move in their shocked state, the purple tendrils rushed forward into Black's body. As if they were watching a horror movie, Geno and Frisk stared as the purple tendrils entered through every orifice in his body, shutting down any screams he might have created. Once all the tendrils left Fresh's body leaving him empty, his shell collapsed onto the floor.

Black stood in front of the stunned Aftertale resident, his body glowing in numerous color before blowing up into a blast of light. When the lights died off, they saw Black's unconscious body on the ground and Fresh's body slowly rising off it. Standing up, he smiled at them before rising his hand towards Geno. "Brah, I got you." A beam of red light left Fresh's hand and engulfed Geno's body. As fast as it hit him, the light soon left.

"w..what did you do?"

"I just gave you most of Black's HoPe! No-bigy. Now we can begin our funktastic trip around the universes for the cool itty human!"

"...great." Geno rubbed the back of his neck. This whole thing was getting out of hand, but going along with Fresh's idea was better than going against him. He would prefer not to have the same thing happen to him. "what are you going to do with him?" He pointed the collapsed skeleton.

"Don't worry about it. Frisk my radical alternate romance, got any of that determination we all love and fear?" Frisk perked up and placed her hand over her chest. "Atta girl, you do you!" Frisk nodded and her soul began to glow surrounding her body in white. All her fault lines covered her body until she was but a white silhouette. When the fault lines disappeared, Frisk's appearance changed.

Once was her blue and pink sweater was now white with red stripes and her brown hair bleached of color. Fresh nodded approvingly before handing her a jump rope from his pocket. Geno glared at the two, trying to figure out what Fresh wanted Frisk (or Mercy as she was now), to do. Jump rope in hand, it only took a few moments before a smile appeared on Mercy's face. She walked towards Black's body and started tying him up before attaching him behind her like an oversized book bag.

"...what..."

"Don't over think about it, you'll hurt yourself. Now let's get going!" Fresh grabbed onto both Mercy and Geno. "Swag out!" In a poof of smoke, all four where gone.

The sound of her tiny shoes against the metal floor helped the hooded skeleton keep a track of her whereabouts. Without it, he was sure he would have lost sight of her from the beginning. It was one thing having Alphys getting confused of the Core's shifty layout, but it was something altogether when the person she's giving instructions couldn't follow them. In the very end, Alphys left the tiny human to fend for herself after stumbling over her misguided directions. Sans had to slightly slide the munchkin over with his magic to keep her from getting hurt from all the activated puzzles that lied ahead. Which was tougher to accomplish seeing how Bonbon had no qualms with putting herself into danger.

why of all places does she have to play along the thin bridge with lasers blinking in and out!?

He could already feel his magic running thin just from keeping her from jumping off the bridge or accidentally hoping towards the lasers. Not counting all the Royal Guards and random monsters that scattered the area he had to fend off before they even get close to her. He hoped his magic could hold on, afraid that even the slightest slip up and one of the monsters might confront Bonbon into a fight. Oh how he wished he could get his hands on whoever let all these monsters into the Core and putting his munchkin in even more danger. If he ever did find who did this, well...

they're in for a bad time.
