"So are we just going to stand here all day or are we going to remove this tarp off of this thing?" Mettaton asked as he tapped his foot, "Don't tell me you dragged us all the way back just to look at fabric color." Undyne shook her head at his statement.

"The room was locked, it has to be important clearly," she said. She moved from the entrance to the door over to the large blanket and pulled it off.

"WOAH THIS THING IS HUGE!" shouted Papyrus.

The fabric fell daintily to the floor to reveal a large machine. It was a circular tube that reached up to the ceiling, cables and cords ran about the tube with four notches sticking out from each diagonal angle facing inwards. It was hoisted on a pedestal with a raised platform and steps leading into the circle. Next to it was a monitor with a series of switches and buttons covered in a blanket of dust. The metal to the center of the circle was charred and rusted.

Undyne held her jaw agape. Mettaton surveyed the machine.

"Oh my! Well this is at least somewhat promising… If I knew what it did," Mettaton said as he held a hand up to his face with an unamused expression.

"HEY THIS LOOKS LIKE SOME SCI-FI THINGAMAJIGGY. SANS YOU KNOW THIS STUFF RIGHT, DO SOMETHING WITH IT!" Papyrus giddily shouted as he pointed. He looked over to Sans who was distracted as he studied the machine with his eyes. He didn't respond. Undyne moved to the monitor and pushed the dust off. She tried pressing a button but nothing happened.

"Gah this stupid machine is useless!" Undyne grumbled as she scrunched her brow and smashed a button with her hand repeatedly.

"it's not gonna work because it doesn't have a power source," Sans finally spoke. He moved his hand along a cable that ran all the way to the back, "needs to be plugged in." Undyne looked to Sans.

"Oh, someone help me plug this in," Undyne said as she walked to one side of the machine. Mettaton moved on the other side.

"I think I see the plug, one second," Mettaton grabbed a hold of an end cable and pushed it into a wall socket. Nothing happened. Undyne gave Sans a glare, he ignored it and walked over to the monitor and tapped a button.

The machine sprung to life and began jittering.

"WOAH HOW DID YOU DO THAT SANS?" Papyrus asked.

"I just pushed the power button," Sans said. He moved away from the machine. The inner fans of the machine turned silently. He took a deep breath.

"pretty sure the thing isn't going to do anything else. It looks too old and broken," he added.

"I suppose you have a better idea?" Undyne snarkly replied.

"nah but-"

"If it's another pun keep your yap shut," she said as she cut Sans off mid sentence. Sans just shrugged. Undyne leaned over on the machine, trying to make sense of the buttons. All of them were labeled with jumbled symbols and dust crust. The symbols reminded Undyne of the letter. She pushed the familiar buttons in place and the machine jumped, she scrambled back.

"HEY LOOK IT'S A MINI TV!" Papyrus said as he walked over to the monitor that now showed a pearly white castle with a brick exterior, red rooftops and a stained glass window on the front depicting a blond hair woman.

"Ooooh look at that castle! Asgore has some competition," Mettaton chimed. Undyne moved back in and stared at the image, she couldn't make sense of what was going on. All this high tech garbage was just not her forte. She reached out and pushed another button cautiously. A bright light shined that blinded the room for a second. The machine made a loud noise and began vibrating intensely. Each notch in the machine sparked electricity and it began to rip a tear out of thin air like fabric. The tear opened up widely and the image of the castle was displayed upon it. Everyone stood there frozen for a moment.

"IS THAT A BLUE CEILING? ALSO WHAT IS THAT GIANT YELLOW BALL IN THE SKY?" Papyrus said as he broke the silence. He slowly walked closer to the machine but Sans grabbed him from behind on his cape to prevent him from walking farther. Mettaton ignored that and walked even closer to the image.

"It looks so real, almost as if I could reach out and touch it," Mettaton said as he was mesmerized. He moved his hand forward without even realizing it.

"Mettaton are you crazy?!" Undyne shouted. Mettaton jumped and his hand had already begun to go inside the image, he was being pulled in.

"No no wait I didn't mean that literally-!" Mettaton shouted as he was yanked into the image.

"I'LL SAVE YOU METTATON!" without thinking Papyrus jumped in.

"PAPYRUS NO!" Undyne shouted, she was about to jump in but she hesitated as she looked back to Sans. He ran and stopped right in front of the machine and ushered her in.

"after you," he said. Undyne scoffed as she grabbed Sans by the hoodie and jumped in, taking him with her.

…

The blinding ball of light stood above the blue surface. Undyne's eye squinted as she looked to the sky. She stared back down at the lush green grass. She was sprawled on the floor after falling a few feet from the air.

"Papyrus, Sans, is anyone there?" she groaned as she got up from the ground slowly. She felt the grass between her fingers, "What is this stuff?"

"SANS GET OFF OF ME!" Papyrus shouted from a distance. Undyne followed the voice to find Papyrus on the ground, Sans had managed to break his fall, at the cost of Papyrus. He got up from the ground and pushed Sans off.

"I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE TRYING TO FIND YOU AND I GET GREETED TO YOU FALLING OUT OF A TREE!" he said. Sans sat up taking off a branch that was stuck to his hoodie.

"it was a real treeat though, huh?" Sans was gonna add something else but Papyrus interrupted him by picking him up and tossing him into a bush.

"TRY BEATING YOUR WAY OUT OF THAT BUSH SANS!" Papyrus shouted. Sans let out a laugh. Undyne sighed and shook her head as she put her hand up.

"Where are we?" she said as she stared beyond the trees to the sky again. Everything was so bright and green; it almost felt like Undyne had fallen into an anime.

"I CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT BRIGHT YELLOW BALL IN THE SKY IS!" Papyrus added as he also looked up. "BUT IT'S COOL." Sans crawled out of the bush and got up, he patted the leaves off of his hoodie and looked up as well.

"that, my friends, is called a sun," he said as he took a deep breath. Undyne paused and jerked her head down to look at Sans.

"WAIT, you mean to tell me we're on the surface?!" Undyne shouted. "The real thing, outside of the underground?!"

"seems like it," sans said as he nodded.

"We did it.. WE DID IT!" Undyne cheered, "WE MADE IT OUT! We gotta get back maybe we can use that weird thing to get everyone else out as well, we don't even need the souls anymore right?!" Undyne raced through her thoughts, everything was moving so fast that she couldn't keep up. Sans shrugged.

"AHHH THE SURFACE WORLD! I CAN FINALLY GET A FANCY RACE CAR LIKE I ALWAYS WANTED TO," Papyrus said as he seemed enthralled by the idea.

"Besides that we can finally get our revenge on those stupid humans!" Undyne gave a grin, "Oh the real war starts soon, BAHAHAHA." She rubbed her hands together and sparks flew. Undyne looked down at her hands, magic tingled through them.

"but which surface world are we on anyways," Sans added.

"Huh, there's only one surface world Sans are you insane?" Undyne gave a neutral expression. She paused and looked around for a moment.

"Hey where's Metatton?" she asked.

"I DUNNO MAYBE HE WENT UP TO THAT MASSIVE CASTLE, CLOSE TO US," Papyrus said as he pointed a direction within the forest where a dirt path snaked its way into.

"The castle that's right!" Undyne spoke, "We still need to find a way to save everyone back home."

She turned around and began walking into the forest more, Papyrus and Sans followed behind.

"DO YOU THINK ANYONE LIVES THERE?" Papyrus asked.

"Probably but they're gonna have to take orders from us when we get there," Undyne said with a grin as she put a fist up.

"BUT THEY MIGHT HELP US, DON'T WE WANNA BE… NICER?"

"Ugh you sound like Frisk," Undyne sneered and paused. She looked at Papyrus who gave her a glance. She turned her head the other way, angry at herself for wondering how he was fairing.

"I HOPE HE'S DOING OK. I THE GREAT PAPYRUS MUST TASK MYSELF WITH MAKING SURE MY FRIEND IS SAFE!" Papyrus said, he put his hands up and adjusted his cape. Sans looked on holding a stern look.

"Yeah yeah, we'll find him Paps," Undyne said as she could read the worry on his face. She took a deep breath.

"Eventually."
