"Like, we're on it Undyne."

RG 01 hung up his phone. RG 02 was standing next to him in the dark cavern, wondering what the conversation his friend was having was about.

"Like, what does Undyne want?" RG 02 asked, looking at RG 01 through the dim light of the cave.

"Undyne wants us to do stuff… something about capturing a human I guess…?"

"Woah, that's like, weird and stuff, what do you think it looks like bro?"

"I don't know bro, but we're totally going to like… catch it and stuff…"

"We're going to like… totally team attack it and stuff!"

"Yeah we are!"

"So… does she, like, want us to go somewhere…?"

"Oh… yah bro she wants us to like cut them off or something in Hotland bro…"

"Cool bro."

"Come on bro, I know… like, a shortcut."

With that RG 01 and RG 02 headed off, deeper within the cavern. The deeper they headed into the cavern, the more quiet it became. No more could they hear the rushing water from the rivers and waterfalls that occupied the marsh in the upper portion of the cavern. The ground was becoming dryer, giving the earth an almost dust-like texture. The more they traveled farther down, the more isolated they became. RB 02 had noticed that it had becoming darker as well, putting him on edge.

"Bro… I think this shortcut is like… kind of spooky bro…"

"Bro… you have like nothing to worry about…"

"Just saying bro…"

As they continued down the path, rocks began to pile up on either side of them, forming a natural hallway. It had become so dark, that neither of them could see thirty yards ahead of themselves. The silence had become deafening.

RB 01 noticed something in the dark as he looked down, he could barely make it out at first. Squinting his eyes through the slits of his helmet reviled it to him. He stopped and turned to RB 02.

"Bro look!"

RB 02 stopped and turned around, looking at RB 01.

"What is it bro?"

"Bro look!"

RB 01 was pointing at the ground. RB 02 scanned the spot of ground where 01 had pointed to. He still couldn't see anything in the dark.

"I don't get it, is this like a prank or something…?"

"Bro look harder! Those are like… footprints bro!"

RB 02 looked harder at the ground, revealing that 01 was indeed correct. There were footprints and on the righthand side of those footprints were what appeared to be a fine line dragged into the dirt.

"Bro… those footprints could belong to that human Undyne wanted us to catch."

RB 02 was becoming uneasy, the atmosphere of the part of the cave they were in was starting to unnerve him.

"I've got a bad feeling about this bro…"

"Like dude… we have to like totally capture this human and stuff bro! We can't just like… leave."

RB 01 began to follow the tracks, with 02 reluctantly following behind.

Apart from the metal clinking of their armor, not a sound could be heard within this natural hallway they found themselves in.

As they moved forward the rock walls began to open, forming a more open space. At the far end of this space was a tall cave opening. Despite being large in height, its girth was relatively shorter in comparison. The pair of royal guards could feel a light breeze seep from out of the opening.

The tracks led into this cave. RB 01 was getting himself prepared to capture this human, RB 02 on the other hand, was becoming more uneased. RB 01 could see that 02 seemed nervous as to where the tracks led.

"You ok bro?"

"I'm cool bro… just give me a minute…"

RB 02 shook out his arm, sword in hand. As he did this, he turned his helmet to look at 01.

"Ready bro!"

"Alright! Let's do this bro!"

They charged into the cave, one at a time with 01 at the lead.

When they entered the cave, they noticed that it was pitch black. They also noticed that they had lost each other when they charged in. RB 02 was the closest to the entrance. He began to walk further into the cave, looking for 01. He began to call out for him.

"01! YO 01…! WHERE ARE YOU DUDE!"

There was no response… only the whistling wind and his own echo called back to him.

He proceeded deeper into the cave, coming to a small opening. Above this opening was a small hole in the ceiling. Light tricked down from it, forming a small circle on the ground. In the middle of this circle was a pile of what appeared to be dust. Atop the dust pile laid a black helmet. A familiar… black… helmet…

"B-bro…!?"

RB 02 ran over to the pile of ashes, picking up the helmet and cradling it in his arms.

"B-bro! W-what did this to you…!"

A calm voice sounded out of the darkness. Making itself known to the trespasser who had invaded its den.

"Ah, another one… come to see what had happened to your friend did you…?"

A pair of radiant red eyes were staring back at RB 02 as he looked up.

He became petrified with fear. Everything in his mind told him to run, but he couldn't just let whatever this thing was get away with killing his friend.

"…y-you…! I-I'll kill you!"

The calm voice spoke once again from underneath those inhuman eyes.

"What a sick joke…"

The voice gave out a devilish chuckle before going silent again.

Suddenly, a figure lunged out of the darkness, plunging its sword into RB 02. He laid on his back, the large sword had penetrated through his armor, himself, and a couple of inches into the dirt beneath him. He looked up at the towering figure as it stood over him. It was illuminated by the light of the ceiling crack.

It wore a steel mask underneath what appeared to be a collar. The collar itself was made of a worn brown leather that covered most of the figures mask. A tall pointed helmet adorned its head and was covered in scratches and indentations alike. Stringy white hair fell out of this helm, the hair itself was straw-like in nature. A faded and tattered red cape flowed from the shoulders of the being and down its back. Its right arm held no armor, but the left side however, had metal plates running down its lanky bicep. It met with a shiny metal gauntlet. In that gauntlet was a jagged dagger, its helm was made of wood.

The lanky figure stared down at 02 as he muttered his last guttural words.

"W-Why…?"

The figure gave no reply, instead it plunged its dagger into RB 02, ending his suffering. It pulled the sword out of royal guard as he turned into ash.

Slowly, it walked back into the darkness of the cave, dragging its great sword along the ground as he did so.

That same calm voice spoke out against the silence once more, before leaving it in peace.

"I pity the sorry souls…"

A devilish chuckle followed, but soon faded, giving way… to the deafening silence of the cave.

[Author's Note: For those of you enjoying the story so far thank-you so much for the support. I am very sorry I haven't been updating as frequently recently. School and work are about to start for me in a couple days and it's been hectic trying to get ready for it. I'll update new chapters for the story as soon as i finish them, but for the time being it's going to be coming at a much slower rate than before. The absolute latest time period for the chapter after next will be around Thanksgiving of this year, but I'll try and squeeze in a couple chapters between now and then. Again, sorry about that, and I hope you'll enjoy my future chapters to this story. This story is far from over and I'll keep working on it till its completion, whenever that may be. Thanks.]
