(Like mentioned in the last chapter this chapter is a time skip, as I don't want to reiterate things already stated in the story, like the meeting of Papyrus. That being said I do hope everyone is enjoying the story so far.)

(Frisk POV, Entering the True Lab)

Frisk took a deep breath as she hit the button on the elevator, her hands shaking as the box began dropping down into the True Lab. She hated having to go here, wishing there was some other way to discover what had happened when Alphys' experiment went wrong. Most of the amalgamates weren't too frightening, despite the fact that they looked like they were still melting despite the fact they weren't anymore. No, what frightened her was those damned Memoryheads. She couldn't avoid them, and something about them was so wrong, so disturbing. Even when she freed everyone she had nightmares for days afterwards of their garbled speech coming through her phone. She jerked as the siren for the elevator having no power went off, pulling her from her thoughts. Her hands gripped the Temmie armor on her body as she waited for the sudden stop at the bottom of the elevator shaft. As the doors slowly opened she flinched, afraid that this time one of those things was going to be waiting for her. Instead her vision filled with very familiar skeleton grinning at her. The relief that flooded her had her rushing to him, his arms wrapping around her as she clung to his shirt.

"While I enjoy holding you sweetheart, I wasn't expecting such a greeting." He said, running his fingers over her hair in a soothing manner. She chuckled softly still clinging to him as she sneaked a look around them.

"I really, really hate being down here. I don't mind helping most of the amalgamates but ..." She paused, looking around them again, hoping one of the Memoryheads wouldn't suddenly appear with no warning. His arms tightened around her, reassuring her as he looked around with a curious look on his face.

"I remember Al saying something about one amalgamate being off, and that she lost track of it before she reunited everyone with their families. That's the one that is scaring you, isn't it?" He asked, his voice calm as he glanced back down at her. She just nodded as she leaned her forehead against his chest with a deep breath.

"I'm always scared they will appear out of nowhere while I am down here. I know where they hide but I'm still scared..."

Sans smiled at her as she glanced up to him, his confidence giving her more confidence than she had originally. He slowly let her go before holding out his hand to her, winking at her and causing her to giggle as she placed her hand in his. "Don't worry sweetheart. Chara knew you would need some emotional backup so I came down to help. I will be right beside you through all of this. I promise."

She smiled at him, happy once again that she wasn't doing this alone before looking around, trying to remember which way to go first. Remembering she tugged him to the left, knowing she had to go this way to even open the area where all of the amalgamates were. After walking down a long hall they walked into a room with surgical beds, sinks and another room where she knew she needed the red key. Unfortunately, she also knew what was waiting for her once she turned on the sinks to find the red key, her hands shaking as she turned on the first one.

"Sweetheart, you alright?"

"This is where they appear. The third sink turned on doesn't have water, no matter which combination I use. And they have the last key we need." She murmured softly as she turned the next knob on. Sans placed a hand on her shoulder, keeping her calm while she turned the last one. The white of the strangest of the amalgamates slowly poured from the spout, slowly forming into the Memoryhead trio. A strange sound came from them, her hand already reaching into her pocket and pulling out her phone. Turning it on she felt Sans flinch as the garbling that the creatures made became voices coming from her phone.

"Come join the fun."

"Holy shit..." Sans said, his tone soft as she felt his magic begin flowing around her, the sensation more calming to her already rattled nerves. She licked her lips as she shook her head at the trio, her body already taking a step back to prepare to dodge the strange attack they had.

"I refuse to join." Her voice was calmer than she felt as one of the Memoryheads bobbed in response to her voice.

"That's a shame." The garbled voice on her phone said before the white pellets began filling the air around them. She shifted out of the way of one before looking to Sans.

"Sans, don't stand still! The pellets grow into weird faces and they hurt more than the pellets." She called, shifting her body around each of the pellets, trying to find a large enough spot where she wouldn't be harmed. Behind her she heard a snap before a roaring noise sounded. She glanced up to see the blaster Sans had summoned opening it's mouth just before she was yanked back against Sans' chest. The room flooded with a bright blue light, temporarily blinding her as she heard movement as if something was moving away from her and Sans. As her eyes cleared she saw the blaster bobbing in front of them, looking inordinately pleased with itself, the Memoryheads no where to be seen.

"He only scared them. They didn't even take any damage from that." Sans said softly, one arm extending past her to the blaster, the large head moving closer to rub the end of its snout on Sans' hand. Once he had shown the blaster a small amount of praise he snapped again, the blaster disappearing before the skeleton looked in the still dry sink. She turned to the sink and picked up the red key she had known would be there, still shaky from their run in with the Memoryheads.

"They never take damage. The first time I ever saw one I reacted in fear and hit one with my stick. It just stood there like I didn't even touch it..."

"I understand why you were so scared of them... What the hell are they even made of?"

"I don't know. All the others I can figure out if I put my mind to it, with which ones being morphed with Ms. Snowdrake being the hardest, but those things... They are just wrong. Even Alphys knows it. I spent one entire reset trying my damndest to figure them out with her, with no success. We couldn't find them to test them and even the other amalgamates feared them so much that they didn't even try to understand them. Only thing we ever got out of the others about them was that they were bad." As she spoke she took his hand again, heading for the room where the red key was used. He followed behind, silent, though she knew it was because the scientist in him was trying to understand what kind of abomination those things really were.

The rest of the true lab went by fairly quickly, Sans keeping her from being harmed while she tried to help everyone remember who they were. Once they reached the room where she could turn on the power she turned to him and smiled, one hand raising to cup his cheek.

"Alphys will be here after I turn this on. I have never had someone with me when she comes in..."

"I already know, sweetheart. I know we can't change things too much. I will be waiting for my brother's call. I love you." As Sans spoke one hand lifted to cup the hand on his cheek, his actions telling her how much he really didn't want to leave her side. Raising up on her toes she placed a chaste kiss on his other cheek, her movements allowing for him to wrap his arms around her waist in a tight hug. Her own arms wrapped around his neck, the pair staying that way for a moment before he reluctantly let her go. She stepped back before smiling at him again, her eyes bright with her hope for the future.

"I love you too Sans. One more step and everyone is free."

He chuckled and nodded before turning away from her, waving to her over his shoulder as he teleported away from her. She turned back to the machine behind her, flicking on the power and turning back to the room. She tried to ignore the shivers going through her spine as the amalgamates all began moving into the room and towards her. Alphys arrived, finally, when they were only a few paces from Frisk, leaving the small human to want to bop her friend for taking so long. As soon as Alphys walked off with the amalgamates she headed for the elevator, shivering when the voice of what she only could assume was Asriel echoed in the elevator. As soon as she stepped from the elevator she took a deep breath, trying to wash the bad feelings the true lab inspired in her from her mind.
