Asriel: Another chapter?! So soon?!

Chara: He must really be eager to get these out there.

Frisk: I'll admit, I didn't think that he'd try something like this. I mean...

Me: Don't worry about it. I discovered a few things...I looked over a few things multiple times...and I came up with an idea like this. I don't know if anyone's ever tried this direction before. But if someone has already...well, I might have a problem.

Undyne: I'm gettin' a REALLY strong feeling that this is going to be pretty important, just by the chapter name itself. Are you referencing something?

Me:...No. *shifty eyes*

Chapter Start!


The sun's morning rays hit Chara's eyes ghrough the window. He squinted a little and lamely tried to wave it away. "Go away, Sun. I don't feel like getting up right now..." He grumbled while lying back down with Asriel and Frisk, taking hold of one of Asriel's fluffy, floppy ears and placing it over his face. He slowly smiled. "Much better..."

Chara hasn't yet gotten used to the concept of seeing the sun on a regular basis now. So he has a new reason to be slightly grumpy on certain mornings, he doesn't appreciate the light being directed right in his face if he didn't feel like getting up. And this is one of those particular mornings when he really didn't feel like getting up.

"...Chara...how many times do I have to tell you...my ear is not a sleeping mask..." Asriel mumbled with a small yawn as he opened his own eyes, feeling his ears covering Chara's eyes and shielding him from the sun's light. He slowly got up and gently pulled his ear away, leaving Chara to groan in slight annoyance. "C'mon. If the sun's light won't wake you up, then Undyne surely will."

"Oh please no." Chara mumbled, shivering at the thought of the mermaid busting his door down and shouting at him to wake up already. She's done it to everyone at least once, and none of thek were all too pleasant. So with great reluctance, Chara shifts upward and stretches a bit. "I'm up, I'm up. Just please don't sic the hot-blooded mermaid on me. That would be going overboard."

"Glad you see it my way." Asriel smiled. He turned to Frisk and gently shook him to wake him up. "Wake up, Frisk. It's morning."

"Ngh...already?" Frisk moaned slightly as he sits up as well, his hair lightly covering his always closed eyes. He blew some of it upwards as he stretched a bit as well. "We said it just as many times, Asriel...your ears are just as fluffy and huggable as the rest of you. As long as we're careful of your horns."

"Yeah, if we get our positioning wrong...ouch. So much ouch." Chara said, shivering slightly. "I don't wanna be like Undyne. Though...it would be pretty rad to have a laser eye." He shook his head. "Nah, not worth it. I prefer my peripheral vision mostly undamaged."

"Guess that settles that, then." Asriel shrugged as he begins getting out of bed and putting on his casual clothes, which included his treasured rainbow scarf. His brothers began to fully wake up and get dressed as well. Asriel looked out the window and allowed the warmth of the sun to be absorbed into his fuzzy fur, closing his eyes for a bit. He then pulls back out and turned towards his brothers. "Well...should we go wake up Mom and Dad?"

"Nah, let our nose-nuzzling fuzzy parents sleep in. We aren't doing anything important. Plus I'd rather avoid their sickly morning sweetness." Chara said as he slips on his poncho.

"Toooooo late!~"

"And of course I spoke too soon." He grumbled, silently cursing himself for jinxing it.

As he thought, Toriel and Asgore soon came into the room with bright faces and their night clothes on. The former eagerly scoops up Asriel and Frisk while the latter scoops up Chara. They both began kissing their foreheads repeatedly. Asriel and Frisk were both giggling from the attention, while Chara tried not too effected, his widening smile betrayed his intentions.

Asriel snickered. "I know you enjoy our parents morning kisses, Chara. I don't know why you keep pretending that you don't. Besides...you're smiling pretty big."

"I know I am...and I kinda hate it."

Asgore smiled as he sets Chara down and rustled his hair. "Ah, still our lovable grumpy prince. I take it that you were very much reluctant to get out of bed, once again?"

"You'd be guessing right. The Sun is always trying to ruin my mornings...I haven't even known it for that long and I kinda hate it and yet I also kinda like it. It at least keeps me warm enough to kinda want me to wake up. So I guess we have a bit of a love-hate relationship going on until I get used to it. If I get used to it. Probably not. Who knows. We'll work things out as time passes."

"Hopefully so, my dear. We wouldn't want that relationship turning completely towards the latter side." Toriel smiles as she also gives a small smooch to Chara's rosy cheek.

"Mom, come on..."

Toriel tilted her head curiously, blinking in fake confusion. "Oh? Would you like me to kiss you more?"

"No I'm good."

"I'd like some more!" Asriel raised his paw, as well as Frisk raising his hand.

Chara just sighed as he pinched his forehead. "You two are gonna embarass the heck outta me in some unknown epic fashion even on the Surface. I just know it. And I won't be able to stop you, because I've never been able to do so before in the Underground." He rolled his eyes as Asgore simply rustled his hair again.

"Come now, Chara! You don't really find your brothers that embarassing, do you?"

"Don't pull that wool over me, Dad! You and Mom have always been so much worse than these two!"

"Oh? Well you'll find it unfortunate to know that we have no idea what you're talking about." Toriel said as she slowly pulled herself into Asgore's arms, and he gladly took her within them. They both laughed a bit as they began nuzzling each others noses affectionately. They then shared a good morning kiss, happily murring.

Asriel flinched a bit and covered his eyes, while Frisk smiled and giggled at their usual display. Chara cringed and looked away. "Okay...eww. Eww. Don't wanna stick around for that. C'mon brothers. We're out of here." Chara grabbed Asriel's bandadged hand carefully, as well as one of Frisk's, and hurriedly began dragging them out the door in order to avoid their embarassing parents.

Toriel and Asgore pulled away from one another slightly and watched their children run away from them. They each snickered a bit then looked towards one another again.

"Six years...do you still find amusement in embarassing our children?" Asgore asked.

Toriel pretending to think about it, looking around the room as if it were to provide an answer. Then she turned back to her husband with a cheerful giggle. "To be completely honest...yes. Yes I do."

Asgore smirked. "As do I."

Chara breathed heavily as he placed his hands on his knees. He and Asriel were both sweatdropping from their parents display, while Frisk seemed to have been completely enjoying it, as always.

"Whew...we got outta that mess in one piece."

"It's even more embarassing to know that there's doing this completely on purpose." Asriel mumbled while pushing his ears out of his face when they flopped too quickly. "Anyway...what should we do today?"

"Sans said that Undyne, Alphys, and Geno Alphys have been doing pretty good when it came to moving in. Let's go visit them and see for ourselves?" Frisk offered.

Chara shrugged. "Eh, sounds better than watching our parents during their morning nuzzle fest. I say we go."

"Alrighty! To Undyne and Alphys's place! And also Geno Alphys!" Asriel beamed. Destination set, the three siblings began making their way to one of their friends' homes.

(Undyne and Alphys' Residence)

Alphys slowly opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling, vision slightly blurry. She reached one of her paws out for the nearby dresser and managed to grab her glasses. She puts them on, adjusted them for a couple seconds, blinked a couple times, and her vision was clear again. She smiled, this was much better.

S-So that was our first day and night on the Surface...wow...it went much better than I thought it would... She thought as she slowly yawned, her tail stretching out slightly. She had quite a great and peaceful nights sleep despite being incredibly nervous about the Surface. And the reason why was right next to her.

"Zzzzzz..."

The loud snore echoed throughout the room, making her blink and turning her head to the left. Undyne was sleeping right next to her. One arm around Alphys's waist and the other lazily thrown over the edge of the bed. Her hair was undone and completely messy, though Alphys still found it to be beautiful. Her shark-like teeth kept opening and closing slowly as her loud and rough snoring kept leaving her maw.

Alphys smiled. I know I may have said/thought this multiple times...but she's so cute when she's sleeping! It makes me not want to wake her. But...mornings are mornings. She goes to carefully shake Undyne awake. "Undyne...it's time to get up now..."

Undyne shifted her other arm over Alphys and pulled her to her chest, her only seeing eye squinted tightly in a clearly grumpy manner. "Ngah...Alphys...I don't wanna get up right now..."

Alphys blushed heavily a bit, trying to her best to keep her focus. I k-keep forgetting how s-s-soft she is...! "U-Undyne! Can you please w-wake up? I-It's another new d-day!"

Undyne slowly slid her eye open, only to be slightly blindsided by the Sun's morning rays. She quickly shuts it. "Ngah...damn sun! I like you and all, but I'm not gonna be a favorite of bright lights in my eye so early." She muttered as she began sitting up and stretching her arms out, before enclosing them around Alphys again, kissing the top of her head. "Well, at least there's one thing about sunny morning's I can appreciate! I have my very own bright sun right here! Fuhuhuhu~"

Alphys blushed furiously once again as she covered her eyes. "U-Undyne...g-good morning!"

"Yeah, I kinda got that from you trying to wake me up and all." She yawned slightly. "So..did Geno Alphys come out of the basement lab, yet?"

Alphys slowly shook her head. "No. She's been down there all night, as far as I know. I h-had to get a blanket to cover her up and keep her warm...and stuff."

Undyne groaned. "She's still holed up in that dark basement?! I mean, I'm grateful for having a basement and all, but I don't want her holed up in there all day! Ngaaaaah! I'm gonna go pull her outta there!" She gritted her teeth as she reluctantly lets go of Alphys and exits the room to go and receive her counterpart. Alphys sighs as she adjusted her glasses some more.

A couple knocks were heard at her door, and she stepped out of her bed and went to answer it. She went to answer it. The Dreemurr Trio appeared before her. Asriel and Frisk immedately leaped forward to hug her.

"Alphys~" They both chirped, nuzzling her cheerfully.

"Heyo." Chara simply waved at her.

"Oh! Hi boys!" Alphys smiled as she hugged Asriel and Frisk back, and managed a small return wave to Chara. "Let me guess...escaping your parents morning affections?"

"Any excuse would have done. Any at all." Chara replied blankly, not really wishing to recall it at all. "So, you're awake. Does that mean Undyne is too?"

"Yes it does. She's going on to wake up Geno Alphys. She's been cooped up in the basement all night. We haven't seen her for a while." She rubbed her neck. "So...Undyne is going on to wake her up and drag her out of there herself." She smiled. "Undyne is a bit grumpy this morning because she's trying to get used to sunrise...but I'm sure she won't be too rough with her."

"YOU'VE BEEN COOPED UP ALONE IN THAT BASEMENT ALL NIGHT! TIME TO GET YOUR ASS UP AND HAVE SOME BREAKFAST!"

Chara raised a skeptical eyebrow. "Yyyeeeaah. Totally not too rough."

Undyne could be seen coming back up from the basement entrance, dragging Geno Alphys by the lab coat. She groaned a bit while rubbing her eyes. "Okay Okay, I'm up, Undyne! No need to drag me up the stairs...oh, hi boys." She waved as Undyne lightly sets her down and pointed towards the cabinet. "Alright! I'll grab a pop tart if it'll get you to stop being so aggressively affectionate!" She paused as she rethought the last two words. Her glasses got steamy for no explicable reason, and she blushed a bit. "Then again...you being aggressively affectionate with Alphys certainly is an interesting scenario...

Chara and Alphys covered Asriel and Frisk's ears respectively. "Not something these two need to hear!"

"Right, right. Sorry."

Chara uncovers Asriel's ears as the latter tilted his head. "Geno Alphys...what exactly were you working on in the basement?"

"She was workin' on some weird red glowing rock or something." Undyne yawned as she shook her head a bit, pushing her hair out of her face. "She's been lookin' at the thing all night trying to see if there's anything special about it."

Frisk suddenly became very interested, as memories were triggered. "Geno Alphys...when exactly did you find this...glowing rock? And where?"

She blinked. "The Artifact? I found it in Waterfall as all the monsters were gathering up the last of their things. When I went and packed it away, a small white fluffy dog tried to take it from me. I distracted him by giving him a dog treat."

"The Annoying Dog?" Chara tilted his head. "All he ever does is annoy people and be adorable. Why would he ever try to actually try to keep something from you...unless there's something about this Artifact that's so important that he's willing to keep absorbing it for multiple timelines so that no one gets it. So...since you have it...it means he can't absorb it...and since he can't absorb it..."

Asriel tilted his head as he sees Chara's eyes sparkle with interest. "Curious Chara emerging?"

"Oh yeah. We're checkin' out that rock." Chara grinned. He then turned to the basement entrancce and went down the stairs. Frisk and Asriel looked towards one another, simply shrugged, and followed him down the stairs. Geno Alphys munches on a strawberry pop tart, shrugs at Undyne and her own counterpart, and followed them as well.

The trio reached the basement, which Geno Alphys converted into a casual lab for her and Alphys's use. And right in the center of the room was the red glowing orb that has Geno Alphys in such a stump, and has Frisk constantly frustrated since the Annoying Dog keeps absorbing it. But now...it was right in their hands. Chara and Frisk shared very curious and intersted glances, while Asriel simply...glanced.

This Artifact. Why does it feel like it's...calling to me?

"Woah. I don't know exactly what this thing is...but it feels powerful." Chara said as he gazed at thenred Artifact, heading closer to the capsule. "Yo, Geno Alphys. Can I take a look at it? And by a look...I mean hold."

"Yeah, sure. I haven't made any progress with it, except discovering that it's constantly emitting soul energy in waves." Geno Alphys sighed. "I'm starting to think that this thing is messing with me, yet at the same time telling me something."

Chara pressed a button on the capsule, and it slid downwards, releasing the Artifact. He holds it in his hands, gazing at it from different angles. "She's not kidding. I can feel the magic coming off in waves, alright."

Frisk placed a hand on it, and raised his head in heightened interest. "He's right. It's pulsing in some sort of pattern. Almost like breathing. Or...a heartbeat."

"What do you think it means?"

"I'm not sure..." Frisk turned towards Asriel. "Asriel, do you want to feel it for yourself?"

Asriel continued to stare at the Artifact. He hasn't blinked at all since he caught sight of it. Undyne noticed this, and lightly nudged him. "Hey. Earth to Asriel. Are you listening?" Asriel still didn't respond immediately. Instead, he moved forward towards the Artifact slowly, almost as if he were in a trance. Undyne blinked at the display.

Chara and Frisk watched their brother with slight unease at his lack of response, and Frisk didn't stop him from taking the Artifact in his paws. Chara patted his shoulder. "Azzy? You okay bro?"

Asriel continued to stare at the Artifact, still unblinking. The crimson glow of the orb reflected off of his green eyes a couple times. His focus was unbroken, as he sensed the great and powerful magical energy being released off of the orb in small waves. And like Frisk said, it feels like breathing, and...a heartbeat...

"...There's someone inside."

"What?!" Alphys and her counterpart's eyes widened in shock at Asriel's declaration.

"Woah...are you serious?" Chara said quietly. "I sense something powerful...but a person? How could you have guessed that?"

"I didn't guess. I know someone is in here." Asriel said strongly, then he relaxed a little. I...I don't know how I know. I just do." He blinked after such a long time, and his decision was set with a resolved nod. "I have to free whoever it is."

"What?" Geno Alphys said, a bit confused and just slightly skeptical. "Asriel...even if you're right and someone is trapped inside the Artifact...how do you intend to free the person?"

"...Only one way to find out." Asriel declared, filled with DETERMINATION.

He closed eyes as his rainbow soul began glowing within his chest, the Delta Rune symbol on his rainbow scarf began to glow as well, and his ears began to rise. To the others shock, the Artifact began to rise as well, and levitate in front of him...and have a miniature version of the Delta Rune symbol glow within it. They responded to one another as Asriel began focusing his magic on the orb. The others watched in anticipation as nothing else happened at first.

...then a tiny crack appeared on the orb. Then in a slow process, the crack began to grow larger, and branch out into more cracks. Then it began to vibrate constantly, emitting a soft whirring sound as the cracks also began to glow brightly. Slowly, the cracks began covering the entire orb, glowing ever brighter. The glow then began glowing pink, and small rays of it began shooting out ,and the whirring grew louder. Until then...

...Shatter!

A bright and pink flash of light covered the entire room, temporarily blinding everyone in the room, and they could slightly feel the debris from the now shattered Artifact harmlessly hit all of them. It lasted all but a few short seconds. The flash slowly died down, and Asriel was fhe first to fully open his eyes, followed by Chara and Frisk. They looked to see the flash continue to slowly fade away...and discovered that Asriel was indeed correct.

There was a person inside of the orb.

The person was still levitating in the air, and they were able to make out a couple features. The person was wearing a red cloak with a pink ribbon, white gloves, white boots, and a white mask. What Asriel found most noticeable details about this person, was the pink hair poking above the top of the mask, the dandelion that is stuck within the hair...and the Delta Rune symbol that lies on the shirt under the cloak.

Chara narrowed his eyes. "Interesting..."

Frisk looked a bit closely as the glow completely dies down...and was shocked to see that this person was completely covered in battle damage. The cloak, boots, and gloves were tattered and ripped, the pink hair was messy, and the mask was severely cracked. The only thing that was completely undamaged was the dandelion in the pink hair. Other than that, this person was badly hurt.

The mystery stranger then stopped levitating, falling towards the ground. Asriel quickly caught the stranger in his arms. He lightly turned her over to stare at her mask. He was unsure of what the expression might be underneath it. Probably one that resembled pain.

"...ngh..." That...clearly sounded female. And not much older than the trio.

Chara blinked. "She's really hurt. But...we don't know who she is. Should we-"

"No. The mask may be damaged, but she has it for a reason. It stays on." Asriel said as he gently picked her up bridal style. "We'd better get her back to Mom and get her patched up. She's still significantly better healer than I am." He made his way towards the stairs, closely follwed by Frisk and Chara, along with the two Alphys's and Undyne.

Geno Alphys continued to stare at the stranger as Asriel carefully carry her. This...this was unprecedented. She's always known there was something special about the Artifact...but to actually hold someone inside of it? Of course she has many more questions than that? Who was she? How did she get so damaged? Why was she sealed within the Artifact? Why was the Annoying Dog so intent on keeping the Artifact a secret to the extent of absorbing it multiple times in different timelines?

...and how was Asriel able to break it?

(Dreemurr Residence)

"welp, this is a rather interesting start of our day, ain't it?"

"I don't think we've seen this particular monster before, have we?"

"She seemed pretty messed up when we brought her in. Wonder what did this to her? And who put her in that Artifact thing?"

"I read on the plaques in Waterfall that the Artifact is supposed to be legendary...maybe she has something to do with that?"

"Obviously it has something to do with monsters. Why else would she bear the Delta Rune on her shirt?"

"THAT IS A RATHER INTERESTING MASK SHE HAS ON. I WONDER WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE BENEATH IT?"

"woah, pap. damaged magic mask or not, privacy seems to be her main game at the moment. so let's not touch the mask unless she lets us."

"That pink hair has me intrigued, I'll admit. Though by the looks of it, it might be fur."

"Golly...I am unaware of why...but she seems familiar. I know she does. I just...cannot out my finger on it. I know it's been so many years.."

"I can feel it too. Asriel dear...how were you able to free her from that Artifact prison?"

"I...I don't know. I just...knew I had to get her out of there. She was imprisoned in there...and maybe she knows why."

"Of course she might know why, Azzy. She was the one put in there, after all."

"O-Oh. Right. Ehehe..."

"Is this gonna be a new thing between you all? Picking up stray monsters from random places and random items?"

"shut it, weed."

"I DO HOPE SHE WAKES UP SOON. I'M BECOMING QUITE CONCERNED."

"We all are."

V...Voices? Voices all around me? I recognize at least two of them...but not all of them. Where...where am I...? Why am I...? She slowly opened her eyes through her mask, getting used to the light shining to her eyes theough the holes in the mask. She slowly sits up, adjusting to the light, and was surprised by how easy it was for her to sit up. W-What...? I shouldn't be able to sit up so easily...it's like I'm completely healed! She briefly placed her hands on her chest, arms, and her back...no scratches and bruises or bleeding or dust from open wounds. No...it was all gone. Every single one of the wounds she sustained was no longer present. Like they never existed. This...how...? Who healed me?

"...Thank goodness...we were getting concerned that you would never wake, my child."

She heard a voice full of genuine motherly warmth and she turned around to meet the voice. She could have sworn her soul dropped out of her chest. Those two...they recognized those two very clearly, though she doubted that they would remember her. She wasn't that memorable to them...at least not personally. In a particular...performance...she certainly was definitely someone to make note of.

King Asgore...Queen Toriel...? Where...how...? She looked around the room for the occupants. She could see plenty of monsters that she did not recognize. She could see two skeletons, a blue mermaid, two yellow lizards, and the the most surprising three that caught her off-guard.

The fuzzy child that looked like Asgore and Toriel, and the two somewhat identical humans with the brown hair. All three of them looked like they were around her age. All three of them...their souls were extremely powerful. Though in three different ways. One of them, the one with his eyes always closed, felt like he could never willingly submit to violence if there was a way to avoid it, and prefer peaceful methods instead. The rosy-cheeked one felt like he'd rather speak with forceful action instead of words to solve a dangerously dire situation. The last one, the fuzzy middle child, felt like he would be able to use a mix of both peace and force in order to find eventually find the major solution to a problem, though he would prefer peace.

Who...who are they? The only ones I recognize are King Asgore and Queen Toriel. Even then ,i don't even know them personally. So...I must be a complete stranger to everyone here then. She sweatdropped. That's certainly not awkward. But still...what are two humans doing here...shouldn't...?

"When Asriel and the boys brought you home, you were in critical condition. I immediately went to work to healing your wounds." Toriel said, her paws clasped. "Luckily none of them were out of my range of skill, so I was able to bring you back to full health. We simply waited for your recovery from that point."

Queen Toriel...healed her? She knew she was a gifted healer...but this was ridiculous. It's like those wound never even existed! And King Asgore was just as huge and intimidating as she reme-why is he wearing a pink shirt with yellow flowers? Something was going on here and she didn't think that she would fully understand the answer. Most likely not. But what was she to do? She won't be able to come up with a conclusion if she doesn't start asking questions. Silence would get her nowhere.

She nervously looked up, looking towards Asgore. She gathered up all of her courage and tried to look stronger than she looks, yet just as respectful. "King Asgore-"

"Howdy! And please, do just call me Asgore, my child."

She blinked. Okay. She's never known Asgore personally...so this was completely unexpected. She rubbed her neck. "Um...okay, Asgore." It feels so weird to call the King simply by his first name. "If it's not too much to ask, can-"

A loud growl sounded through the room, and the stranger's eyes wodened before immediately looking away. Stomach, you are picking a VERY bad time to be doing this to me!

Chara folded his arms. "Well. Somebody's hungry."

"I-I am not!" The growling persisted, and she seemed both embarassed and irritated by it. "S-Stupid stomach! I have more important things to deal with than your hunger!"

"Hold on. Whatever you have to say, you don't have to say with an empty belly." Asriel said as he turned to the side for a moment, and picked a tray. He handed her a tray of recently made cinnamon rolls. "Breakfast cinnamon rolls! It's still pretty much the morning, so it should fit quite well!" Asriel tilted his head cheerfully and smiled. "Here, have a couple!"

Both the offer and the cheerful smile of the fuzzy boy in front of her managed to make heat rise on her cheeks. She tried to keep denying her hunger because she thought the questions were more important...though her stomach was proving to be the stronger influence. Another growl eliminated the rest of her restraint. With a loud sigh, she takes one of the cinnamon rolls. "Fine, stomach. You win this round." She grumbled. Reluctantly, she lifted her mask upward, but didn't take it off. Asriel could make out the little black nose on her face.

She felt herself to be greatly enjoying it.

"Wow...this is...oh my god this is really good!" She grinned as she nibbles on it happily. 'Monch Monch!'

"Glad you lile them. Now...mind telling us who you are?" Chara asked with an amused smile and folded arms. "Start by...I dunno. Showing your face?"

"Chara, let's not rush things. She's still recovering." Geno Alphys said.

She closed her eyes. "No. I get it. It's the whole mutual trust thing on, right? I can smell it."

"...Smell?"

"Right now, I can smell the suspicion distrust you have of me. It's coming off of you and the shorter skeleton most of all. It's both a natural thing and kind of a magic skill. I have a pretty good nose for certain emotions, but I'll admit it's not always completely accurate." She reopened her eyes. "If I remove my cowl...can we start asking one another honest questions? Because you all seem to be wondering who I am, and I seriously don't understand what the heck is going on around me."

"Let's just start with who you are. Introductions are very important, right?" Asriel offered.

She nodded softly. "Yeah. I guess that's fair." She closed her eyes as she slowly pushed her cowl off of her head. Asriel blinked as she watched her reveal more of her face, which included the pink tuft of fur on her head which contrasted just slightly from her white fur on the rest of her body. He could see a bit of canine teeth in her mouth when she opened her muzzle to yawn. She reclosed her mouth and scratched her also canine and slightly fluffy ears. Undyne was slowly raising an eyebrow. The girl lightly twitches her snout a bit, regains her focus, and looks towards everyone with a serious expression, her hands on her lap.

"I'll get the super basic stuff outta the way, first. I'm fifteen years old, I'm sort of a master swordsman, and I'm pretty good at fetching sticks."

"Really? That's a pretty cool skill for canines to have." Chara chuckled.

She continued on, just slightly irritated by the comment. "I am a proud member of the Royal Guard, as well as it's youngest member." Undyne's eye widened.

But I've never seen her before in any of my days as a Royal Guard Captain! She doesn't sound like she's bluffing, though. Which can only mean...Alphys must have come to the same conclusion, as she suddenly looked like she had a sensible realization. Undyne's eye lowered as a serious question pops up in her mind. H-How long was she trapped in that rock?! The girl looked up towards everyone, as she bore a look of confidence, brushing away the last of her current nervousness.

"My name is Red."


Me: I wonder what happens if you take a character from a pretty good fangame...and take her into a different direction?(First major divergence, Undyne doesn't know her) As in...give her a different story, yet try to keep her in-character...and possibly fail...i spoil too much.;~;

Frisk: Wow...this was unexpected. And yet...familiar.

Chara: I really don't know what this girl's deal is...but...I feel like I know her.

Asriel: Really? I don't seem to know her at all. She seems like a nice person, though.

Me: I don't know if someone will have issues with this or not...but yeah, my version of Red is canine. She's been interpreted as a canine monster, a ghost possessing a large doll, some non-specific monster, or a human. The only thing her creater says about the subject that's definitely canon is that she's NOT human. The creator's(taxiderby of tumbler...which I do not have ;~;) favorite is the doll interpretation, and that is probably going to be the one they choose to be canon...might be seriously behind if it's already been done. If it was...welp, too late now.

This NOT meant to purposely disrespect to the character or anything like that...it's just what I chose. So...yeah. Anyway, I don't own Red. I do however, own the direction she goes in this story...that's not bad, right?

Chara: Ugh, you're talking too much, Ben! Time to go!

Asriel: What he means to say is our time is up.

Frisk: Until our next chapter, I suppose.
