Aliza and I had been with the brother's for a month now,
my sickness had not subsided at all and with no dr alphys or gaster in this timeline we had no way of knowing what was wrong with me. Axe and I had hunted all but ten of the hydra agents. We came back from hotland, where we believed that the agents were hiding, only to find no trace of them.
"maybe some other monster's found them. " I said as axe gave me a noncommittal shrug, just as we got to the house to find, that the front door was kicked in, we quietly entered the house weapons at the ready, when Aliza came running from the kitchen covered in blood and tackled me, tears running down her cheeks, and visibly shaken.
"Aliza what's wrong? "I asked as I pulled her from me to see if she was hurt, while axe looked around for crooks.
"so some d dog Mon monsters ca came here. "she said shaking even more.
"the old guard. "axe growled
"then what happened? "I asked my voice taking on a commanding tone.
"they accused crooks of hoarding food and betraying the crown. He told me to hide in the skin pile, before they kicked the door in,. They took him away. "she said before starting to sob.
"OK Aliza, axe and I will get crooks back, I want you to take this. "I said as handed her my blade.
"human, go up to my room, and do noт come out unless, either genocide or myself come get you. "axe ordered as he handed her a few protein bars, before she went up to Axe's room.
After that we walked out of snowdin and headed for new home.
"you got a game plan? "I asked as we entered the old wishing room in waterfall.
Which as left abandoned, with huge holes in the walls and most of the crystals that were at one time used for wishing crushed on the floor.
"simple we do what ever it takes to get crooks back. "he said as we left the wishing room, and started to cross a bridge that was falling apart, that we carefully crossed.
We had entered the judgment hall which was now a dull grey color instead of the golden color I knew it to be, with shattered windows and cracked pillars. The dog monsters that made up the old guard stood before us in the place where the judge would stand.
"the queen is waiting for you. "a white dog in army fatigue pants with a black tank top and a red bandana tied around his head.
"OK doggo but if papyrus had been hurt in anyway your gonna have a вad тιмe. "axe said as we followed them into the throne room.
The walls were the same dull grey as the hall. The floor was covered in wall to wall dead buttercups, and in the middle of the room sat a throne with a second throne covered by a sheet with numerous spears thrown into it. Undyne sat sideways on the throne the crown on her head was held in place by her ponytail, one of her legs was draped over the arm of the throne, while her other leg was pointed straight out, while she had a spear in her hand the tip tapping against her boot. The first thing I thought upon seeing her was that she looked like jerath from labyrinth, with a smirk on my face, I looked to another dog that looked like a female snoopy knowing that it was this timelines dogaressa , wearing a torn black cloak that was covered in dark stains that most likely was blood and dust.
"you remind me of the babe. "I said to her
"what babe? "she replied
"the babe with the power. " I said as she gave me a confused head tilt.
"the power of hoodoo. "I stated
"who do? "she asked as axe got a huge grin on his face.
"you do. "I replied
"do what? "she asked as undyne who was watching was getting madder and madder.
"enough! "undyne yelled causing the dogs to cower.
"we're sorry your majesty. "they said as they kneeled in front of her, while axe and I just looked at her, our arms crossed.
"you've been very busy lately haven't you sans? Hiding a new monster from your queen, as well as hording food. "undyne said as she stood in front of us.
"didn't see ya jumping ta help. "axe snarked as undyne raised her right hand to slap him.
As her hand came down to make contact with his face. I shifted my weight to the balls of my feet, before moving forward, the metal of my left hand glinted in the light as I grabbed her wrist, twisting her arm behind her as I kicked her behind the knees dropping her to her knees on the floor, before pulling her arm tight to her back.
"I wouldn't move to much if I were you Queenie, if you do your arms gonna pop out of socket. "I said as I leaned down so my teeth were right next to her left ear my voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
"if you hurt me, fuhuhuhuhuhu, I'll make sure papyrus dies. "she cackled as I dropped her hand like it was on fire, before steeping back.
"there's a good girl, know your place. "she said as she patted my cheek, before checking my stats.
Genocide

Exp: 99999

Status : will protect her friends no matter what.
"hmmm, you wouldn't happen to be a boss monster by chance? " she asked as I saw the gears turning in her head.
"and what if I am? "I asked back, as axe stood besides me his axe at the ready.
"well you caught me in a charitable mood, I'm willing to let all transgressions go if you become my new judge, you see sans is no longer fit to be a judge "she said in a leering tone.
"how about this. Instead of that we, get you the seven souls you need to break the barrier. "I offered in return
"how about this then, I'll let the transgressions go if you can get all seven souls in two days, but papyrus will only be set free if you become my judge. "she said in away that told us their would be no more negations after that.
I looked at axe who nodded at me. "only under one condition, any human who's soul we don't need gets to go free. "he stated
"fine. " she said as we left the throne room and headed back to the house. We had just got Aliza from Axe's room and sat on the couch, when Aliza asked, "where's crooks? "
"we're going to get him back, but for now I need you to stay hidden while we work, OK? "I stated
"OK. "she said as she went back up to sans room, while I pulled out my phone, and dialed red's number just as I've done each week for the month I've been in horrortale. "hey babe, it's your doll, I'm calling you to update you on what's been going on. Undyne found out about me and captured crooks. So axe and I are going to go after the rest of the agents to break the barrier... Uh... Undyne wants me to become her judge as well. So that's all that happened since I last called... So I'll call you next week if you can't call me back... I love you. " I said as I hung up the phone, and noticed that axe was giving me a look of sympathy.
"sorry gen. If I had just listened to you and left some of the bodies at waterfall and hotland, none of this would've happened. "he said in a remorseful tone.
"that doesn't matter now, what does matter is saving crooks, you guys couldn't have kept me hidden forever. "I replied as I pulled my phone out, and brought out the schematics of the prototype arc reactor we planed on using for Mettaton.
"we're going to build seven of these, and turn the bodies into containers. "I explained as I followed axe to his lab under the house.
The lab looked like it hadn't been used is years, there was no power to the lights so I quickly ran back up to the house and grabbed a couple of the lanterns. When I got back down axe had started up the small generator that he had hidden there, and we spent the night building the reactors from the metal that he had laying around.
It was near dawn when we finished the final reactor. "ya need ta sleep. "he said as he looked at my slumped shoulders.
"you need the sleep more that I do, and don't say that I still need sleep, with what I'm planning I'll still get my sleep. After you sleep and we eat I'm showing you now I plan on get the souls we need. " I said as he sat in a chair.
"look I know you made a promise but... Why ya willing to become undyne's judge? "he asked
"because that's what avengers do. " I replied
"what are avengers? " he asked as his eyes started to close.
"we're like the old royal guard, we protect people from those who want to do harm. "I answered as I looked at the sleeping axe.
Once I made sure he was asleep I went back to the house, to make a breakfast of French toast and some meat. As the meat was cooking, I grabbed my duffle bag, and pulled out a voice changer that I then set for Russian, along with a few widow bites I had, pulling them apart so I could rewire them, to JumpStart the core, giving the lab enough power so I could be triggered. The meat was just about done, when I finished rewiring the bites, so I plated some French toast on the plate with some syrup drizzled on them, I didn't even noticed that I took a swig of the syrup.
I brought the plate up to Aliza who was still asleep. "hey sweetie, I brought you breakfast. "
"ugh... What. What time is it? "she asked as she rubbed her eyes while sitting up.
"it's about six thirty in the morning. "I replied as I handed her the plate.
"thank you mom. Gasp. "she said nearly dropped her plate as she tried to cover her mouth.
"do... Do you see me as your mom? "I asked as I sat next to her on Axe's bed.
"well yes, you take care of me and show me love unlike my mother. "she said as I pulled her to me hugging her tight.
"then I guess that I'm your mom now, if you'll have me, that is? "I said while she nodded really fast.
"well now that that's settled, I need to wake up axe, so we can finish this and get crooks back. I'll see you later baby bones. "I said as I kissed the top of her head, before leaving the room. I barricaded the door with a wall of blue bones.
"please let this work. "I whispered as I summoned Lilith like I would if she was a regular blaster.
There was a feel of the space around us expanding as Lilith appeared, jumping up and down in excitement at the sight of me, before she quickly ran over to me as I fell to my hands and knees dry heaving.
"I'm OK girl. "I said as I patted her head while I got back to my feet.
"Lilith I need you to sniff the human behind this door. " I said as she got Aliza's scent.
"now I need you to keep Aliza safe. Kill any monster that is not a skeleton, who so much as sets foot in this house. "I ordered as I vaulted over the railing, and grabbed Axe's and my food.
"wakey wakey, tofu eggs and backey. "I said startling axe.
"shit, ya scared me gen. "he said
"here's breakfast, eat up then we're headed to the core. "I informed him as I sat down and started to eat.
"why tha core? "he asked
"because, we're going to give it a jump, so we can trigger me. If there's one thing hydra wants more than anything it's their asset. "I answered determination in both my voice and eyes.
"OK. "he replied as we ate in silence.
After breakfast was done, we headed out to hotland.
"your gonna need this. "I said as I handed him the voice changer, when we got to the entrance of waterfall.
"what's this? "he asked
"it's a voice changer the words only work in Russian. "I said
"still don't see why we need the lab if we got this? "he stated
"because, youre going to electrocute me. "I said a manic smile on my face.
"are you crazy? "he asked in shock
"a little. " I replied as we walked quietly through waterfall.
