The third day as upon them and most of the guard were getting used to the routine . some of them were more worn out than others but it was the lack of maintenance. Most only saw action when something big happens and less induvial attacks happened to any particular town. So the lack of them keep themselves ready to serve was no shock to the older but better fit of the guard knew their captain well enough to not take a relaxed attitude about their duty to the underground. Undyne was probably tired of seeing some of the guard coasts on their laurels and not take the fact they're protecting the underground seriously enough for her taste. She doesn't abide or condone laziness in the guard. You can retire if you not up to snuff if you don't feel like you've been weakened or you too old or want to play it safe now that you got a family. For her don't waste or endanger live, please retire that's her motto she doesn't want monster who are not fit enough or ready and alert all time down here even the tiniest Froggit or the toughest boss monster can be overwhelmed by what the barriers security measures.

Hugh was a very burly monster he was like Asgore a big monster, furry and fuzzy to many and he was intimidating. But those who have talked to him know one thing the werewolf was amicable. Considering his friendship with Asgore? It's not a shock who convinced him to help out.

"to be honest it's Not like Roxy can't demonstrate and be her father aide in a visual and teaching sense." was what asgore told me to seal the favor . He was wearing his nicest pants and the plaid shirt Margie picked out for me to wear and the dark sunglasses more for the new recruit's sake who might ask too many questions if he doesn't wear them at all they would care about is what is wrong with me the whole thing even though that overreact at what's underneath the glasses. It can't be helped and I know our three kids always get mournful when the glasses come off.

"Now, guards, Asgore asked me personally to teach about guerilla warfare but I'm not an agile as I once was. Much less being my eyes strong enough to see if you are performing the tactics correctly , but my daughter who I taught most of the tactics will demonstrate or show you on the board how these maneuvers are done or how to beat an adversary or protect a town how to take down a barrage of enemies. Then I want to see if you're actually getting the tactics I will ask Asgore and Roxy to over sea and help you with your form and give you feedback."

Roxy was looking sheepish at the praise but she knew this might happen it's not like she didn't roll out Undyne's whiteboard regardless. She was proud of her dad he usually at the market more often than not and him teaching what he knows to someone other than me and my brother Fen his tactics were something I'm grateful for.

Let's just say a lot of them were fast learners. A lot of the monster took this kind of training like ducks to water . It's using terrain to your advantage and knowing how to fight in a place your not used to . Damian was the surprising one though he was quick for a big guy in full armor .

I checked my cellphone while I've been here I've been taking guards numbers left and right. It's always good to know everyone number in the case of the backup being needed. But I notice I had a voice mail from mom.

"Asriel gather Chara and Asgore and find a place for you to get privacy and talk alone as soon as you can." Mom sound worried though kind stern the importance of doing her instructions made sure I followed what she asked of me.

"Who was that, Asriel?"

"It's mom she wants to talk to all of us alone including dad can you go get him?"

"Yeah what's the rush."

"Apparently is urgent."

"Chara you go, dad, I'll set up our room to keep eavesdroppers out of them."

Seeing how they were in the common area, Getting Asgore away from the trainees was hard but more because the trainees want to hear more stories. While they weren't children anymore all full-fledged adults Asgore read to most of them as children. The royal guards also have a duty to the monster children of the underground to make them feel safe and protected and to endear towards education something the king was one of the reason the underground flourished so much when you make learning fun and show how what you learn can be used it changes everything in a new light I remember that from a speech he gave when I was a lot younger. I still grabbed his furry arm and told him mom want to talk to all of us.

"Chara please tell you didn't get jealous of the trainees?"

"What no dad!" Chara looked embarrassed her normal pink cheeks had become fire engine red color. Oh of course dad would be thinking I was being a spoiled brat about his attentions, but aren't I way too old for this dad? Give me a break I'm not ten anymore.

"No one could take away how I feel about you and Asriel." He had a genial smile on his face. Lucinda and Felix above! I love dad but he's being such a goofball right now. This is a serious moment.

"Dad, mom sent a voicemail on Asriel be serious, mom has something urgent tell all of us and to make sure we are not overheard. Now come on!"

The walk to the room wasn't eventful but a walk in silence wondering what has gotten into mom she rarely worries and has the tendency on to call sparingly she finds the phone a bit too complicated for her and prefers to only use it to watch videos. But she, in particular, knew not to calling during training camps there for making us stronger we had the misfortune of being overworked and very tired.

"Okay, I checked the room no one is in the hall or going to overhear us.

"Call mom already then." Chara had this look of irritation she kind of looks antsy, better to do this quickly I don't want to deal with Chara's wrath tonight especially after last training session.

Asriel pulls out his phone picking out his mom number. Calling her but keep it at length knowing how his mom gets when I make her wait on a phone or miss a call.

"Thank Felix and Lucinda above! I need to speak with all of you is Chara and Asgore with you as well?"

"Yeah there here mom, how are you?"

"Fine, I'm fine. I need to talk to all you. Something important has happened! Another human has fallen into the underground."

"Dammit!"

"Chara language!"

"Sorry, mom." I looked at her and noticed she was actually chagrinned

"Honey, what do you want us to do?" Dad had a stern face we had gone over this before a few times in case another human happened to fall but not enough to have an actual plan of action.

"We'll need to lead her out of the underground. We all heard the doctor. We don't need another death in our head. Plus, if she's exposed it won't be any good for Chara either."

"Has anyone seen her?" Chara asked now she was a concern before she seemed completely aloof until she realized that protecting her will protect herself. One thing about Chara she demanded my parents to let her stay with them when she fell into the underground. when she fell down here we just ended the war. With Chara, we were all worried about safety when the entirety of the underground might have killed her if they ever saw her. We took a giant leap of faith knowing how short a human life can be here. But for some reason, she froze when she became a young adult after a certain point. they didn't ask questions about what was going on. since there was no way to answer their question without causing exposure to a human living among monsters.

"Not really the miners were to focus getting everything ready to send their dug up materials to the capital on the teleporter. They had triple the amount what they usually get so they were so happy."

"Good." I said honestly those miners are terrible gossips they're the reason people found out I was dating Chara in the first place. though there are few things that stay completely secret I thought that could least stay secret for ten minutes after I asked out, to begin with.

"Well I'm going to get her measurements and tailor an old cloak of you Chara but what need to is get her necklace to try to cover her scent I could smell her from a distance I away and I don't even have powerful smell and the dog squad will have no issue so Asriel be a dear and take her to Cherry Berry Meadows when she sets out on the forest."

"Can you make sure her cloak is different than mine I'm already confused with red enough."

"I know I know I really was considering buying you a different color maybe black or purple but you're too attached to the one you already own."

"Sorry mom buys another one if you need to." Chara seemed sheepish like she was being rude to her mom and it was unwarranted.

"I really need all you to be good guides and protect her we need to get her to the barrier without anyone ever realizing she was ever here. I don't think I could live with myself if she died because I didn't protect her from Sans."

We talked a little more about how we were going to about this .and then we told her good bye and goodnight and dad left. Chara and me just went to bed this was our room after all and after a long day I wanted was to cuddle and snuggle my fiancée.
