I have returned and now seem to have perfected some time management on my stories. First,Reapertale will not continue until I get this arc ofLinkedtale done. I'm working on this along side my don't starve story and my original story on fiction press, Angel Call. Now on to the story.

This was not what I expected at all. All of this darkness is just...it just feels wrong.

"Sans?" I asked but I think I already knew the answer. This wasn't anywhere. Sans didn't call me here, it's just...dark.

"Such a disappointment."

"Who said that?" I asked. It almost sounded gabled but I could still make it out.

"You, who can do nothing, will get nowhere. It's no good."

I have no idea what they are talking about but it's really starting to make me mad. I'm way more than useless. Though, I do have to get saved now. Fighting isn't exactly an option for me so maybe...

No, don't think like this. You can't be like that again. Not here, not in the underground.

"Shut up! What do you know? Stop talking so cryptic and just come out." Truth, I want to be anywhere but here. I like dreaming but not like this. It feels like my normal control over myself is waning and I don't like it one bit.

"So determined. Maybe this little arrangement could work. It will just take a little extra push." At that moment, I saw him truly for the first time. This wasn't the goop man I had come to see lately. This was Gaster in his entity.

"If things to come are to change this must be done. You may thank me or hate me. It doesn't matter." He lunges and grabs my face. I feel almost nothing but a frozen dread.

Come on, move. Why can't I move?!

"Just remember, determination is not your only power. I'll see you again real soon." A blazing hot heat overcame me and I began to wake up.

I awoke to a start, that and the entire house was on fire. Well if Gaster wasn't in that dream that would have explained the heat. I turned only to find Frisk and Undyne in the middle of a fight.

I should be a bit shocked at this development but I'm just not.

*It's just Undyne. She'll probably get you to fight next now that you're awake.

So I can hear Sans again. At least things are somewhat back to normal. As normal as things get around here.

You know the reason why I won't better than anyone. Look I'm just gonna say this now, I'm done being mad. Just don't treat me like I'm fragil. I'm not gonna fight but I'm still not gonna hide away.

*Wow, whatever just happened must have really shaken you up. Normally you stay mad at me for longer than that. Look, I won't be overbearing about it anymore. So are you gonna tell me what happened or are you gonna wait till you get back to the house?

I'll wait. I promise you'll get the story.

Just as I finished up, Frisk and Undyne were hugging it out after their fight. It was kinda sweet to see. It just makes that little encounter seem far away.

They looked over and saw that I was awake. "Hey punk! Now that you're awake I wanna fight you next." she looks around at the burning house before laughing. I could only guess what happened while I was sleeping. "After we get out of this burning house."

I just smiled. I know that was coming sooner or later. It's just she seemed so excited about it. Not that I'm actually fighting though.

The house looked quite the sight outside. Shame, it technically leaves Undyne homeless.

"Um, did you have a good nap?" I looked down and saw Frisk looking at be with that cute expression. Curse that kid and my weakness for cute things.

I gave Frisk a smile. "Let's just say it was enlightening. Though It seems you had a better time then I did handing with Undyne."

Undyne just grinned at that. "Hell Yeah, they did! Now it's your turn. " Just as the engaging field was about to appear I put my hand up.

"Wait, I'm not fighting." She looked a bit confused at what I just said.

"What, why not?" she asked. "I'll even let you have the first hit."

I looked at Frisk and they gave me a thumbs up with determination. Well, at least I think that's determination.

*It's fine ok. It's all about intent. As long as you don't intend to hurt her, you won't.

I took a deep breath. "Ok, I'll do it Undyne. I'm just gonna let you know now, I don't like this one bit." She just gives me a reassuring grin as the ok.

Ok, I can do this. I can do this..and not hurt anyone.

I hit that fight button and punched her right in the face. I'm honestly glad I didn't have anything equipped right then. Still I did at least 10 damage. That was a lot more than what I intended.

She just laughed as she put her arm around my shoulder. "Wow, Solid hit. Nice! Now that's two human friends. I win!"

*Undyne really isn't the type to hold it against anyone. Especially if she asked you to hit her. Intentions are very obvious when it comes to attacks.

I could only laugh a bit nervously at all this. "Well, where are you going now?" Her house is literally on fire and I was in a hurry to quickly change the subject.

"I guess I'll just go crash at Papyrus house until I get things cleared up." Frisk perked up when she said that.

"Hey, that's where Marie is staying too."

Undyne just picked me up in response. "Awesome! Now we can be roomis too! Anyway, you can catch us there if you need anything punk." All I could do was wave goodbye to Frisk as Undyne ran off, carrying me like a football.

At least, for now, things seem to be ok. Still, I have to wonder what's next and what did gaster mean by I don't just have determination. I'll just save in Snowdin just to be safe.
