Summary: No Matter How Weak The Human Looks, Never Ruffle His Feathers.
Notes: First chapter of the year! Hi everyone! How was your holiday season? Mine was... not ok. But I got a lot of work on my fics done so that's something good!Ebott Ville, The Surface, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
Asgore texted me early today to give me the info of when would be the meeting with that human Wilson and his sister, so I told him it was fine and I would call in sick today to be there and stop him if he tries anything funny.
Man…. This has been a couple of rough days for Asgore.
I can`t believe all of this shit happening just because of those two humans!
NGAAAAAAAHHHHH
If not for the fact that the little squirt likes them, I would totally pierce that man's chest with one solid spear for all the chaos he's been spreading!
It infuriates me so much that he acts so cool and mighty!
Just like the villain of a great anime! He can change clothes like a magical princess! And the crown, fucking shit if it felt powerful!
The way he spoke, again, like the villain who knows he won't be defeated until the very end of the series…
That.
THAT IS THE THING I HATE THE MOST!
"U-Undyne red light!"
*Tires screech*
*Hooooonk!*
"Fuck! Okay! Okay! I understand!" These humans are complete assholes I swear! The car behind me honked like their life depended on it.
Well not all of them are bad. Frisk will forever be the only human I can trust. And worth to put up with…
A handful of others come close but who cares about them!
"Uh… Undyne?" I hate to hear her scared like that…
"Yes, love?" I try to answer as sweet as possible with people shouting obscenities at me behind my OWN FUCKING CAR.
"A-are you alright? Yo-you have been distracted to-today… Bu-but it's fine! I-I mean… I…" That self doubt… It's something I want to change in Alphys.
She has to feel secure when with her GIRLFRIEND! No need to doubt anything or feel as if she is overstepping!
Fuck! She can even say that my spaghetti is bullshit and I wouldn't mind!
The fact that it actually is has nothing to do with it.
"Sorry, Al, it's just that Wilson guy… he is… weird… The humans I've met since the barrier broke, with the exception of Frisk, couldn't believe their eyes when they saw any of us. That Wilson? He looked as if he had met all of us before…" I visibly cringe a little
JUST A LITTLE BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF NO MAN!
"You a-are right… I felt th-the same."
I scratch the back of my right fin, a habit since I have the use of memory. I feel the need to explain myself a little bit more to my woman.
"Well… what about that transformation he does… the going shadowy cat-like thing? Or how he is from a fucking KINGDOM of humans, like ROYALTY? What the fuck is an Earl? A Duke? Who knows. He could have told us that he was someone important from the beginning! What about the title of King of Shadows? I have never heard something like that before!" Graaaaaahhhh. This is driving me nuts!
"We-well… uhmm…." Alphys fidgets with her fingers in her lap…
Oh no.
Eyes darting left and right: Check
Mumbling under her breath: Check
Sweating: Check
Blushing: Check
Alphys status: . . .
"Don't tell me, please..." The need to facepalm is mighty in me.
*Dino sweat*
"Seriously, Al?"
*Dino sweats harder…*
"Alphys Dinohorn I love you, with all my soul, I really do, but you can't possibly fall for every single person who looks like an anime character, please…"
What a way to ruin my day.
Damn you Wilson Higgsbury!
"It's just that his transformation remained me of chapter 30 of Mew Mew Kissy Cutie season one in which the male lead transform into a black magic cat-form and…."
This will be a long ride.
After a full hour of Alphys ramble about her favorite anime of all times and a certain gentleman scientist and how she will totally draw him in a Black Hat cosplay, from Villanious series, a princess knight dress from another series and Mew Mew Kissy Cutie cosplay that matches his eyes…
We FINALLY reached the Embassy of Monsters. It was not awe inspiring at all but the full importance of this little building hits me every time.
Monster kind's new battles front it's right here.
It's here where it's all decided.
The future of Humans and Monsters together in the Surface, a world of limitless possibilities blocked only by stupid fat bureaucrats in the Human Congress.
*sigh*
The fish and dinosaur monster entered the meeting room without knowing what would greet them.
It happens to be…
Well…
"I win again! Wahahaha!" Willow's laughter echoed in the room.
Frisk pouted and crossed his arms. As he did the last three times he lost another round of 'Miss Mary Mack'.
Time to intervene.
"Willow dear, don't be a mean, you have literal years of experience in that game." I opened my eyes after the little nap and after urging away the drowsiness it always leads me to, I speak lazily to my younger sibling.
With my sanity restored I see the scene unfolding before my eyes with amusement.
"Awwww…" Willow pouts as she cross her arms in her chest, too. Such a brat….
"It's fine, I'm having fun, too" Frisk assures but he has a flush in his face for the exertion of going all out against Willow.
I chuckle at their faces. Both, determined to out-skill the other.
"Okay Frisk! One more time, this is the final round so we will start as fast as the last round we had before. Are you ready!?"
Oh…
A battle to death. I hope they don't hurt each other with how intense the game has become.
*Not so subtle cough to catch attention.*
I turn around to find two very serious goats.
"Good evening, your majesty." One could hear the spite with which she said the last part.
Lords of Science give me Patience…
Because if you give me strength… Frisk won't have a mother tomorrow…
"Good evening, Ma'am. Good evening, King Asgore" I said respectfully. It's only because of the years of etiquette training my honorable grandfather gave me, I am able to hide my distaste for the two.
Sans seems to perk up at my tone, but he is a master in reading people's intentions so I'm not afraid that the Queen and King know about my undertone.
"Once Undyne and Alphys arrive we can give start to our—" The king of monsters started.
"Pardon me but… was Papyrus informed of this reunion?" Because if he is only waiting for the ladies then…
Don't tell me.
"He is a citizen. This is a serious matter in which we cannot let—"
*royal sigh*
I extend my palm in a placating manner to stop whatever nonsense the monster is saying.
Manners be damned.
I can't work like this!
Both monster goats still as I unlock my phone.
What's Papyrus cell phone number?
**XXX-772-4838**
I dial and hit the call button.
It didn't get to the second ring when a boisterous voice came from the receiving end.
"HELLO! THIS IS THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WHO MIGHT THIS BE? AND FORGIVE ME FOR I DON'T HAVE YOUR NUMBER REGISTERED YET!"
Hehehe..
"Hello Papyrus, Wilson speaking… I'm calling because—"
"Why does Frisk get to spare with her first! and not ME!? NGAAHHHH"
Oh it's seems that the ex Royal Scientist and ex Captain of the Royal Guard are here.
"OH WOWIE! HELLO THERE WILSON! HOW IS FRISK AND… WAS THAT UNDYNE! THAT SHOUT OF UTTER OUTRAGE CAN'T BE ANYONE ELSE!"
"Yes Papyrus, you're the only one left to arrive so we can start the meeting!" I say cheerily.
"… WHILE I WAS NOT INFORMED BEFOREHAND I APOLOGIZE! WHERE WILL THIS MEETING BE HELD?"
"Oh don't worry, I can go to get you"
Where is Papyrus?
I give a last hard stare to the two royalties before moving to where the tall skeleton is.
Wow.
I have never seen THE fluffybuns this annoyed before.
Shit may hit the fan sooner than I thought.
After the scientist went to fetch my brother I stood up from the chair I have been sleeping on.
I see Undyne watching the battle between Willow and Frisk intensely, trying to memorize every move and what the rhyme says so she could play, too. Alphys is recording the moment with her phone. A great move, knowing that Undyne will surely forget the moves and break some of the things in their new surface home in her anger.
Frisk laugher took my attention next.
"Hey! It's not fair! Two against one, I call a rematch!"
No, that's not Frisk.
"Oh come on! If you don't like to lose then don't play! ahahaha" That's definitely not Frisk's sweet laugh.
"Chara… my child" Toriel approaches the possessed child as she (they?) froze where they sat.
That very moment when the two children turn around to face their goat mama Wilson decides to rise from the floor with Papyrus in the same swirl of dark magic we have seen before.
Right in between the ex-Queen and the possessed child.
And the room is filled with silence next.
"SANS!" Papyrus shouts.
"I CANT BELIVE YOU CAME HERE EARLIER THAN I THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" He starts to stomp his foot down, completely missing the tense atmosphere.
Heh.
I don't know when he begun to do that, but I remember a very little baby bones *clack* the floor with their bare feet.
Cute.
"sup bro."
"DON'T 'SUP' ME BROTHER!"
"Now that we are all here let's begin this meeting." Wilson claps his hand and urges everyone to take a seat.
Once everyone took seat, there was a clear division between humans and monsters. Frisk in the middle of all of it.
Poor child, how much more responsibility does he has to bear?
I hope my brother knows what he's doing… He surely knows, but… Those insanity attacks have been too close together to be anything good.
The King of Monsters, Asgore Dreemurr clears his throat.
"We are here today to discuss certain… differences between all of us."
An unanimous nod.
Differences? don't make me laugh...
"Recapitulating on the things we know so far, are. One, The two humans by the name of Wilson Percival Higgsbury and Willow Victoria Higgsbury can control magic at will…"
Oh! Someone remembered not to call us mages, how very sweet!.
Yeah, sure.
"…Two, Wilson entitles himself as the Shadow King and has a position in the English Royalty, the… Earl of Nottingham soon to be handed the title of Duke of Winsor by her majesty Queen Mary, if I'm correct?"
Wilson nods.
"Good." He stops to see that everyone is paying attention.
"Three…" Another pause. He is insecure of this one I guess.
"… This human knew Frisk from before… or after? the time he entered the Underground err?"
Frisk perks up and raises his hand.
"Yes, Frisk?"
"I met him…. uhmm" Frisk speaks up but then asks my brother silently if he can disclose the information.
My older brother inhales deeply, exhales slowly, smiles to Frisk and nods.
"During my time in the Underground"
The effect is instantaneous.
All of the monsters turned to where their companion sat to try to understand what is being said. That means, Undyne turns to see Alphys' reaction, Papyrus towards Sans and lastly the King and ex-Queen look as shocked as if their empire has fallen.
"That can't be right my child… no one else fell after you did, how in the world did you meet him inside the barrier? That simply cannot be."
So much of trusting your own child, huh?
I have a hunch that they are NOT going to believe how these two met each other…
Not that I believed it at all at first but…
Oh well…
"I think that we have our starting point then" My older and only brother exclaims as he quietens the crowd.
"Shall I start with our Tale?"
Notes: PS. Wilson rules! If you have questions about why Sans didn't call Papyrus earlier to be on the meeting with them, was that, he is not supposed to be there. Just like how Papyrus wasn't really allowed to attend. He is just a 'monster citizen' and thus, shouldn't be in an official reunion. But all of the others (Asgore, Toriel, Undyne and Alphys) know that he is The Judge and has a right to be there. "No Matter How Weak the Sun Knight Looks, Never Ruffle His Feathers" comes from the novel series The Legend of Sun Knight by the author, Yu Wo (御我)
