Hey everyone! SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WHILE. I had some personal issues with mental health but it's doing a bit better now. Thank you so much for reading this, you are all really boosting my confidence. And I appreciate that a lot. Also some chapters may look different than others because sometimes I type on my phone and others it is my computer. This chapter was written completely on my computer and the first chapter was written on my phone. This chapter might be pretty short but it is suspenseful. Well enjoy this chapter.

It didn't take that long to arrive at Papyrus's house. It was quite a breeze going through snowdin. Mostly because Papyrus's traps weren't even set up and there were no monster encounters. For some odd reason… Eventually, the three of them went inside the house where it was much warmer than outside.

"OK, LET ME GO GET SOMETHING, I WILL BE RIGHT BACK!", shouted Papyrus as he went to his room.

LIncoln just stood there holding his arm that was hurt by sans earlier. Guess it was pretty awkward to be in the same person who hurt who.

And Lincoln hurt sans too. Physically and mentally.

Not long after Papyrus came rushing back with something that seemed very strange. It seemed like a stick, with greenish liquid inside.

"ALPHYS TOLD ME THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE WAS INJURED, APPLY THIS TO THE INJURY", shouted Papyrus as he gave the strange material to Lincoln.

Lincoln held it in his uninjured hand for a second. He looked at it for a moment confusingly and then went and put it on his injured arm.

In almost an instant the stab wounds on his arm vanished, and no more blood was seeping out.

"Wow, that worked fast", exclaimed Lincoln.

"YES I AM GLAD IT WOR-"

Papyrus heard his phone ringing

"UM EXCUSE ME, I WILL BE RIGHT BACK… I HAVE TO TAKE THIS CALL", shouted Papyrus leaving sans and Lincoln in the living room by themselves.

It was now extremely awkward, Lincoln felt awkward while sans was just unsure. Would they say something or…

"So… uh… how was your day?", asked Lincoln.

"it was good, for a bit", admitted sans.

Lincoln could tell he was angry at him still.

"Look, um… sans uh, I haven't really got the chance to say this earlier but… I-"

Lincoln took a deep breath.

"I am really sorry for everything I did, I've said that so many times at this point, but I really am…", apologize Lincoln

Sans just stayed silent for a moment.

"then why did you decide to do it in the first place?", asked sans.

"Uhm… I was curious… and you might not believe me when I say this but, I wanted to reset mid way so badly… The first monster I killed made me feel so guilty. But I just couldn't stop, it felt like I wanted to kill, but deep down that's not what I wanted at all", explained Lincoln.

"heh, that's LOVE for ya… the more you gain the more your mind will be corrupted into the genocidal mind", explained sans.

"Wait, so all of those feelings I had… they were all LV?", asked Lincoln.

"not completely, you still made that choice… but now i guess i can't blame you for everything, LOVE does make you crazy", stated sans.

"So do you forgive me?", asked Lincoln.

"not exactly, you still decided to make that choice in the first place. But all of your actions weren't necessarily your fault, so for the record… yeah i guess", said sans.

This made Lincoln feel so relieved, heck sans was probably one of the most difficult people to ask for forgiveness. And he just gave it to him.

"it still doesn't explain why you killed me though", exclaimed sans.

That was true, Lincoln can't blame the LV because he actually gained his true self back, but he still killed sans anyways. That was HIS choice, LINCOLN LOUD decided to kill sans.

"I… it was because, I just wanted to know what would happen, I mean, how do you expect me to live the rest of my life, wondering what would've happened if I had continued? And also just when I thought I had gained your trust back, you…", siad Lincoln.

Lincoln could barely finish his sentence without having really bad flashbacks to what sans had done to him.

"i attempted to kill you again, even when you apologized…", said sans. "look uh, i'm actually sorry about that, i acted before i thought"

"It's ok, actually, your actions were completely justifiable, mine weren't…", exclaimed Lincoln. "I haven't even acted like myself once, I am supposed to be a good caring brother to all my sisters, living a completely normal life! Not some killer…"

"hey it's ok, everyone makes a mistake from time to time, i just did recently", said sans.

"Yeah, but I deserved that-"

"whether you deserve it or not, i shouldn't have done that", exclaimed sans. "now stop the whole pity party nonsense"

"Ok yeah… I'll stop", said Lincoln.

Sans decided to lighten the mood.

"Hey, is your fridge running? Cause you might want to catch it", joked sans.

Lincoln laughed for a moment. It's been a while since he had heard a pun.

Lincoln misses Luan.

Until sans then spoke up again.

"i do have one question that is not very relevant to the conversation", said sans.

"What is it?", asked Lincoln.

"why are your eyes red?", asked sans.

Lincoln hesitated, he didn't know the answer to that question at all. But when he was about to say something, Papyrus came through the door.

"UM SO I HAVE GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS", shouted Papyrus.

"What's the good news?", asked Lincoln.

"WELL THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I AM OFF THE PHONE NOW", exclaimed Papyrus.

"That's the good news?", asked Lincoln.

"WELL YES, I HAD TO THINK OF SOME GOOD NEWS SINCE THE BAD NEWS IS PRETTY BAD, UH MOSTLY FOR THE HUMAN", shouted Papyrus.

"can you just tell us the bad news pap?", asked sans in concern.

Lincoln was slightly worried.

"THE BAD NEWS IS THAT I MAY OF ACCIDENTALLY TOLD UNDYNE ABOUT YOU LINCOLN AND NOW SHE IS COMING OVER WITH A DESIRE TO KILL YOU", yelled Papyrus.

Undyne… of course, how could Lincoln forget about her? She would definitely be very pissed at Lincoln and 100% guarantee that she will beat Lincoln up for it. And it wouldn't be long before she came bursting through that door.

"don't worry kid, i won't let her do anything to you", said sans.

Lincoln was just thinking to himself.

Maybe if I just… do what I did before, with Toriel, everything would be ok

"DO NOT WORRY AS THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL CONVINCE UNDYNE TO STOP THIS ATTEMPT", shouted Papyrus bravely.

This made Lincoln feel a little bit more relieved but he was still very worrie-

BAM!

There she was, Undyne completely broke down sans and Papyrus's door. She looked around the room until she saw what she was looking for. She looked directly towards Lincoln, making prominent eye contact with him. And making Lincoln extremely uncomfortable.

"THERE YOU ARE!", screamed Undyne.

"W-WAIT UNDYNE I THINK-"

"STAY OUT OF THIS PAPYRUS! I don't even know why you would let him in the house in the first place, HE BETRAYED US ALL!", shouted Undyne.

Lincoln had a very uneasy feeling.

He was afraid.

"ERRRGH… ENOUGH WITH THE NONSENSE PAPYRUS, LET. ME. HANDLE. THIS", screamed Undyne as she summoned a large spear and aimed it at Lincoln.

Sans left eye flared blue as he was ready to use some of his magic to help protect Lincoln.

But then something happened…

As Undyne threw the spear at Lincoln, Lincoln put his hand out and a large red shield formed in front of him. Blocking Undyne's spear. Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne were all extremely perplexed.

Lincoln was breathing heavily, and then sans started to speak up.

"how did you do that?", asked sans.

"Uhh, I… I don't know"

"UHH, THAT WAS… KIND OF A COOL THING YOU DID", exclaimed Papyrus.

"Woah woah woah, so you are saying after all the things this human has done to you, on top of he did that weird thing, You are still nice to him????", asked Undyne.

"WELL OF COURSE! HE ALREADY APOLOGIZED LONG AGO, I TRIED TELLING YOU NOT TO ATTACK HIM BUT YOU DID ANYWAYS", explained Papyrus. "AT LEAST HE MANAGED TO DEFEND HIMSELF"

"in a very odd way… was that magic?", asked sans.

"Uhm well… I guess it is", said Lincoln.

"BUT… CAN'T ONLY MONSTERS DO MAGIC?", asked Papyrus.

"that is something we would have to talk to alphys about", stated sans.

"I am not letting this kid anywhere near Alphys, I do not want him to hurt her", said Undyne.

"Don't worry Undyne, I won't hurt her… I won't even hurt you", said Lincoln.

"How can I trust you aren't lying though?"

Lincoln was getting slightly annoyed, this was the third person to say that they couldn't trust Lincoln. They are alive now right? How can they not understand that Lincoln won't ever kill someone again.

At least intentionally..

Lincoln took a deep breath

"Undyne, I have told many people this before, I deeply regret all of my actions… I will NEVER do something as cruel as I did EVER again…", explained Lincoln.

"Are you absolutely 1,000% double tripily positive?", asked Undyne.

"Yes! Even sans can confirm that for you", exclaimed Lincoln.

Sans nodded his head.

"Still… I just don't know if I can trust you, you literally betrayed the entire underground! Now I don't know what after I… but I can tell it wasn't very pleasant", exclaimed Undyne.

"it wasn't…", stated sans.

"And you killed Papyrus too… he never deserved to die like that…", said Undyne sadly.

"BUT UNDYNE, HE APOLI-"

"Let me finish Papyrus… How do you expect me to trust you after everything you did? You freed everyone, our life was going to be great again… but then you just had to ruin it didn't you?"

Lincoln was staring at Undyne in sadness. He can deny what she said all he wants, but what she said was true…

"I- I'm sorry I-"

"There's no point Lincoln, my trust is broken", said Undyne.

"wait, undyne it isn't completely lincoln's fault", stated sans.

"What do you mean?", asked Undyne.

"well i can't exactly say but, he is truly sorry for what he did… and i think i already gave him what he deserved", exclaimed sans.

"Y-yeah, I'll probably have nightmares f-from that…", stuttered Lincoln.

"Wait… what did you do exactly sans?", asked Undyne.

"YEAH WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"you guys really don't wanna know-"

"WELL NOW I REALLY WANNA KNOW, WHAT DID YOU DO?", asked papyrus.

"i-"

"H-he beat me up… by, c-constantly stabbing me a-anding slamming me into w-walls… a-and it wasn't a bad thing either! I totally deserved that…", explained Lincoln.

"Woah, you did all that?", asked Undyne.

"yeah i did…"

"SANS HOW COULD YOU!", shouted Papyrus.

"Wait! Papyrus! Don't get mad at him he didn't do anything wrong-"

"HE HURT YOU THOUGH!"

Papyrus was getting slightly irritated. But Lincoln was also slightly irritated.

"I DESERVED IT! And plus, I already hurt everyone else a lot… sans did what he had to do", exclaimed Lincoln.

"EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RESOLVED WITH VIOLENCE", shouted Papyrus.

"OH YEAH SURE! LET'S JUST TALK TO THEM THEN"

"YE-"

"We can just go 'hey Lincoln I know you murdered over 50 people when its not even like you to that, but anyways I need you stop, it isn't nice' because then he will definitely stop! Don't beat him up! It's not nice! Do you even hear yourself Papyrus? On the contrary I don't exactly blame sans for what he did earlier, I don't even blame Undyne for wanting to kill me. I DON'T EVEN BLAME EVERYONE FOR NOT TRUSTING ME! But you? It seems like you don't even care! You weren't even mad at me for everything I did, I KILLED YOU! I K I L L E D Y O U R B R O T H R, you're acting like that's ok! I'll just do it again, it doesn't matter anyways! Do I want people to beat me up? Of course not, but I won't blame them for doing so… Am I grateful that you forgave me? Yes I am, but it just seems a little odd…", ranted Lincoln.

Everyone was shocked at Lincoln's rant. Especially Papyrus…

"Then that same murderer happens to show up again, only they now have red eyes and can do things they weren't able to before… and you aren't even slightly concerned?", wondered Lincoln.

"WELL UH, I DO CARE… I JUST DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE", exclaimed Papyrus..

"Uhm Papyrus, I'd hate to add insult to the injury but Lincoln is right, You are way too forgiving, and nice too. I told him this before but I couldn't ever let you into the Royal Guard. You're too nice, I could never send you into battle… I do love your personality, you are an easy going person, but you can't just expect everything to just be sunshine and rainbows because it definitely is not like that at all" explained Undyne.

Sans just had remained silent…

"OH… I NEVER REALIZED THAT… I DO CARE A LOT TRUST ME, I JUST DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO ADD MORE FUEL TO THE FIRE… JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HURT YOU DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD HURT THEM, BUT I GUESS NO I REALIZE MAYBE I JUST NEED TO BALANCE OUT THE KINDNESS", exclaimed Papyrus. "SO I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT…"

"It's nothing really to be sorry for… being kind is something you should never apologize for, but it can sometimes be hurtful… and Lincoln… I am sorry for wanting to beat you up earlier", apologized Undyne.

"It's ok, I am sorry for everything I did before", apologized Lincoln.

"All is forgiven"

"SO ARE ALL GOOD NOW?", asked Papyrus.

"Yeha.."

"Sans what about you?", asked Lincoln.

Sans just remained completely silent the entire time, he was thinking deeply. Even the white dots in his eyes were gone.

"Sans, are you good?", asked Undyne.

"i know why papyrus acts 'too nice' sometimes…", said sans.

"Really why?"

"i can't say…", said sans.

Lincoln started having a strange flashback… only this flashback…

This wasn't his…

Why was he having this flashback if it wasn't even his? He wasn't even IN that event.

Lincoln knew exactly what sans was talking about. But how?

"Lincoln, are YOU good?", asked Undyne.

"U-uhm yeah… I'm ok", said Lincoln as he gave sans an uneasy look.

"Uhh, well… TO CHANGE THE TOPIC- Lincoln I have one question", said Umdyme.

"Yeah?"

"Why are your eyes like… red, and how can you do that shield thing?", asked Undyne.

"Everyone keeps asking that and I've said the same thing to all of them… I don't know… I have no idea how it happened, I have no idea how I am able to summon weapons", explained Lincoln.

"You can summon weapons????", asked Undyne in curiosity.

"Uh- yeah I can-"

"Show me!"

"Uh ok…"

Lincoln then easily summoned a red knife in his hand.

"WOAH"

Papyrus was amazed, Undyne was too.

Even sans was intrigued.

"I still don't know how I am able to do this…", said Lincoln.

"Wait I have an idea, why don't we ask Alphys? She knows everything!", shouted Undyne.

"Hey that's not actually a bad idea", said Lincoln.

"YAY WE ARE VISITING THE GREAT DOCTOR ALPHYS! I HAVE TO BRING MY CONTEMPLATORY SPAGHETTI TO HER, BE RIGHT BACK", shouted Papyrus leaving sans, Undyne, Lincoln.

"So I take it, we are going to Alphys's place?", asked Undyne.

"Yeah I guess so"

"Great, I'll get ready to go", said Undyne.

"sans are you ok with going to Alphys's?", asked Lincoln.

"yeah i'm fine with it… but…"

"But what?", asked Lincoln.

"i need to talk to you first…"

Well that's the end again, and also there is a reason why Lincoln's middle name was tagged. You'll find out later why. Much much later… And autocorrect is being a pain whenever I type sans's dialogue. I trina make it all lowercase but autocorrect is like No.
