Gerson was a old turtle like monster ran a small shop just nearby the garbage dump and right now he was taking a walk through the cavern just outside his shop when he thought he heard something coming from the garbage dump just up ahead.

"I wonder what that could be?" he wondered as he headed into that area and what he found almost gave him the shock of his life, it was something small with short brown hair wearing a striped shirt, blue shorts, black tights and brown boots laying face down and unmoving in the water.

"Oh my goodness" he said as he made his away over to the small figure and turned them over only to see that it as a little human girl "a human, in the underground?" he checked to see if she was still breathing and thankfully she was so she must have not been in the water for a long time "I think I'd better get you out of here." Despite being old, Gerson managed to lift the small girl and carry her out of the garbage dump, back to his small shop up ahead before laying the human down on the ground to get a better look at her and was shocked at how young she looked, this little girl couldn't have been no older than Nine, maybe ten years old at the most and why was laying face down in the water, did she somehow become injured and passed out but from what Gerson could tell, there was no sign of any injury on the child so maybe she was either extremely tired or unwell which possible caused her to pass out.

"Now what's a young thing like you doing all the way down here?" he wondered as the child began to cough up some water she had swallowed and he quickly turned the girl onto her side as she proceeded to bring up more water until she eventually stopped and slowly opened her eyes to see the old turtle like monster crouched next to her.

"W-where am I?" she asked with pure confusion "what happened?"

"You're in my shop kid" the young girl turned round to come face to face with Gerson "I found you in the garbage dump, it looked as if you passed out and you were also laying face down in the water, lucky I found you just in time eh and how did you end up blacking out in the first place?"

"I must have had one of my seizures, it happens to me sometimes" the young human replied as she slowly sat up, Gerson giving her a look of confusion.

"Seizure?" he questioned "is that something humans get?"

"yeah, I have Epilepsy which is a condition that effects the human brain, makes them have Seizures or sometimes slip into a trance like state" she turned to face the old turtle like creature "thanks for saving me, if you hadn't come I would have, I would have" the child began to sob, pulling her knees up and burying her face in them.

"Hey come on now kid" Gerson replied handing the girl a handkerchief which she took.

"I'm sorry it's just that i'm kind of scared, I'm along way from home with this horrible condition and I almost drown because of it" she sobbed "I just want to go home."

"I hope you don't mind me asking but how did you end up coming into our world?" Gerson asked as the young girl wiped her eyes with the handkerchief "I assume you must have heard the stories about the mountain we are all trapped under and you seem like a sensible child who wouldn't just come down here deliberately."

"I was exploring and I starting having a Seizure which caused me to fall down the big hole that leads down here" she replied "and I can't go back out the way I came."

"I see, so tell me kid, do you have a name?" Gerson asked.

"My name is Frances" the child replied "but mostly everyone calls me Frisk because I don't like being called Frances" Frisk then noticed some kind of symbol on the wall and she recognized it immediately, it was the same one that Toriel had on her robes "hey, I've seen that before, that symbol."

"Oh you mean this thing?" Gerson asked, gesturing to the symbol on the wall "ah yes, you'll see this symbol every where in the underground."

"What is it for?" Frisk asked as she got to her feet and walked over to get a better look "what purpose does it have."

"Well it's a symbol of the royal family but legend says that it's also part of a prophecy" Gerson explained "it says that an angel will come to the underground and free all of monster kind, an angel that has seen the surface, they will come and break the barrier and then all of monster kind will be free."

"The one that's keeping the monsters trapped down here?" Frisk asked and Gerson nodded "is that why some of the monsters don't like humans, is it because they trapped them down here with the barrier?"

"Most likely" Gerson replied "and if our king acquires seven human souls then he will be able to break that barrier and with the power of seven human souls he will become ever so powerful and cause destruction to the human world." Hearing this made the colour drain from Frisk's face.

"So?" she asked with a gulp "is that why Undyne's after me, so she can get my soul and use it to break the barrier along with other human souls?" Gerson nodded and explained that six human souls had already been acquired and that Frisk's was the seventh and final soul they needed to break the barrier to get to the surface.

"So the other humans that fell down here, they all...died?" the girl questioned and Gerson nodded silently "so, does that mean that I could die down here too or possibly get killed" she then realized something and looked at the old turtle creature straight in the eye "if you hadn't had found me then I could have drowned and then Undyne could have possibly got hold of my soul. Why did you save me anyway if you monsters want to kill any humans that fall down here?"

"Kid I'm an old turtle" Gerson replied "if I wanted to harm any humans I possibly wouldn't be able to and anyway, I have no desire to harm any humans because you see, not all us monsters think that not all humans are bad and you don't seem like a bad evil human hell bent on destroying all of monster kind, to me you're just a lost little girl that's only trying to get back home."

"And that's what I need to do" Frisk replied as she stood up and headed for the entrance "I have to get home."

"Do you think you'll be able to manage with your journey?" Gerson questioned "I mean if you're going to be having those Seizures it could make your journey a little more risky."

"Well I can't stay down here forever" Frisk replied "I've got parents up on the surface and they'll be worried sick about me, especially with my condition."

"Well no one can imagine what a parent would be going through if their child is missing" Gerson replied "well I will not stop you young one, you get back to the surface and back to your parents because i'm sure they'll be missing you as much as you do them, be careful out there you hear me?" Frisk nodded and thanked him again for saving her life before heading out of his store to see that she was still in the caverns of waterfall.

"How big is this place?" she thought to herself as she pushed herself forward, it felt like that she had been in this area for days even though it had only been a few hours and it could be possible that Undyne could still be on the hunt for her if soul was the final one they needed to shatter the barrier.

"I won't let them take my soul, I won't" she said to herself as she felt tears threatening to fall from her eyes "I'm going to get out here alive and I'm not going to harm anyone, I ain't gonna follow that whole kill or be killed stuff, if I can prove to them that I don't mean any harm then they'll probably won't want to hurt me." Taking a deep breath, the small girl began pushing herself forward, keeping a look out in case either Undyne or Flowey decided to show up unexpectedly but as she continued walking further and further, she felt her whole body beginning to ache and she assumed that it was from the Seizures she had been having whilst down here, after all, she didn't have her medication so she was having more Seizures than normal and it was starting to take effect on her small body.

"Maybe if I rest somewhere I'll be okay" she said as she entered an area that held one single echo Flower "perhaps I should take just a quick nap in here for a little bit before continuing onward." Frisk walked towards where the echo flower was and with her body slowly giving into exhaustion, the child layed down on the ground and slowly closed her eyes, drifting into a much needed sleep.

Meanwhile, Undyne had just witnessed Frisk leaving Gerson's store so she decided to pay the old turtle monster a visit and ask him whereabouts the child had gone.

"Oh good day Undyne" Gerson greeted in a polite manner as the captain of the royal guard entered his store "how can I help you?"

"Where is the human?" Undyne questioned "I've been chasing the little punk all around waterfall and I saw them leaving your store not too long ago, so tell me, where did they go?"

"They're heading for the barrier and I don't think it would be necessary to destroy the human you see because they're only a child and they don't want to cause any harm to any monsters down here, all they want to do is to get home" Gerson explained but Undyne only growled in frustration "and I don't think this child is capable of harming anyone, they're really young and they have some kind of condition that some humans get so they wouldn't have the energy to do such things."

"What do you mean the human has a condition?" Undyne questioned.

"They said that they have something called Epilepsy" Gerson replied, rubbing the back of the head "they said it makes them have Seizures, think it has something to do them possibly blacking out because I found them in the garbage dump and it appeared that they had passed out and they told me what caused them to pass out."

"I must capture the human even if they have some condition or not" Undyne replied "they are the seventh and final soul that we need to shatter the barrier and you know that humans are our enemies, they're the ones who trapped us monsters down here in the first place."

"But is it worth it really, taking the soul of an innocent child that's trying to get back to where she came from, if you want to take the soul of a human so badly, why not wait until a bad and evil human comes down?" Gerson suggested but Undyne stated that another human coming down may not happen for a long time and that the sooner the seventh and final human soul is acquired then the sooner the monsters will be able to break the barrier and return to the surface.

"I see, you must be pretty determined to capture the human but I will not help you find them as I have no knowledge of where they could be right now, all I know is that they're heading for the capital" said Gerson.

"Well" Undyne muttered "the little brat won't get very far once I get my hands on them." With that, Undyne left Gerson's store to continue her search for Frisk who was still napping in the room with the single echo Flower and it wasn't long until Undyne had found them, still sleeping on the ground.

"Got you now you little punk" she muttered as she made her way towards the little girl and began to rouse her by giving the child a shove with her foot "get up human." With a small groan, Frisk slowly opened her eyes as she felt another shove on her back followed by an annoyed snarl and the girl slowly sat up, sensing that there was someone in the room with her.

"Is someone there?" she asked, her voice shaking.

"Behind you" Undyne replied and Frisk slowly turned around to see the head of the royal guard towering above her and with a startled cry, she clambered to her feet and backed herself against the wall, too petrified to move as Undyne slowly made her way towards her "six, six human souls we have collected so far and with your seventh and final human soul we can finally shatter the barrier and leave this wretched place. Now I am going to make you a deal human, give up your soul willingly or I'll take it by force" Frisk remained frozen on the spot, too scared to say or do anything " fine, if that's the way you want it then I'll take your soul by force" she summoned a giant blue spear and began to run towards the petrified child but before she could reach her, MK jumped out of the tall patch of grass nearby, standing between Frisk and Undyne's spear.

"Yo what's going on?" he asked before noticing that Undyne was pointing her spear at him instead of Frisk "dude, this is so cool, Undyne's right in front of you, that means you got front row seats to her fight" the little armless lizard creature began looking around in confusion "hey, who she fighting anyway?" With an annoyed mumble, Undyne grabbed MK by the face and began to drag him away, giving Frisk the chance to make her escape out of the echo flower room and further into the caverns of waterfall, little knowing that she would be encountering Undyne yet again.
