A/N: Hi everyone, Here's another chapter. I hope you enjoy.

Searifa sputtered as she was pulled out of the water. She was on her hands and knees. Her SOUL was blue as she was pulled on to relatively dry land. The white spade shape turned white before returning to where it belonged. The lizard monster spat out a mouthful of water. A low chuckle sounded above her. She leaned back so she could see who was speaking. Sans stood with his hands in his blue jacket. "Thank you, Sans," she said, trying to catch her breath.

"No prob," he said, his eye-lights looking down at her. Searifa got to her feet. "Kendall took off without you," he said, he didn't ask.

"Yes. So although I am grateful, I need catch up with her. She can't go to Asgore alone," Searifa said as she got up to her feet. Searifa started to run toward Hotland. There was a ping noise and she could feel magic grab her SOUL. The blue spade shape appeared in front of her chest. It was pinned in place. She couldn't move forward. "Sans, I have to go. She'll die if she is by herself," she said turned to face the skeleton.

"Are you certain that you want to help her?" Sans asked.

Searifa tilted her head. "Yes, why wouldn't I?"

Sans leaned back in his slippers. His smile dropped a little. "She can't past the barrier, not by herself. She'll have to kill Asgore in order to past the Barrier," he said.

Searifa paused as she tried to process what he was telling her. "Her SOUL isn't strong enough. I-I guess I still need to catch up with her. She can just stay here," she said. "Let me go please."

Sans nodded, "Ok." He released her. She thanked him once again as he released her. She ran away from him.

UT~UT~UT

Kendall tread through the hot streets. Monster passed her, giving her the barest glances. She saw mother's pull their children tighter when they ventured too close. "What kind of monster is that?" she heard one curious child ask. The parent scolded the child for the rude question.

"You, you're human," a monster called. He looked like a coil of rope that was on fire. He bounced on his two feet. The monsters around Kendall backed away disappearing from view. The world became dark, the fire and magma disappeared from view. Her chest became cold as her SOUL appeared in front of her. The green heart glowed. Kendall held her burnt pan in her hand. It was loose in her grip, she didn't want to hurt the monster.

"Please let me by. I don't want to fight," she muttered. The monster's eyes squinted at the girl.

"But you're human. Fighting is all you do," the monster said. Kendall laughed and shrugged. White rope-like bullets materialized around the monster. They flew toward the girl. Kendall jumped over the first white attack. She ducked under the second. Kendall dove to the left.

The monster stood still, waiting. Kendall held her pan. "What's your name?" Kendall asked.

"Abiz, I'm a Pyrope," the Pyrope replied, bouncing side to side. "Are you going to use your weapon? Fight in anyway?"

Kendall shrugged, "I don't want to hurt anyone. I just want to go home." Abiz stopped bouncing, eyes squinting. She dropped the pan to show that she was serious. The Pyrope was still, only the crackling of his flames moved.

"Hmm, I don't know. Are you lying to me?" he asked. White rope bullets snaked toward her slower than before. Kendall stepped left, letting one bullet buzz by. The second struck her legs. The attacked stung slightly as she fell forward. The last bullet flew over her body. The Pyrope's eyes widened. His coils shivered slightly.

Kendall pushed herself to her feet, leaving the pan on the floor. "I don't want to hurt you," she repeated. The monster relaxed.

"I don't want to fight either," the Pyrope said. The world reappeared as her SOUL returned to where it belonged. "I'm sorry about that," he said, motioning with his foot. "Here. I know that it doesn't mean anything, but have some gold." He bounded to the teen. Gold coins dropped from the fiery coils.

Kendall gave the Pyrope a small smile. "Thank you."

"I would heal you, but my magic isn't green," the Pyrope apologized. "But the Resort has some good food and I think a skeleton monster has a hotdog stand near here."

"Thank you again," Kendall said. The two separated, waving as they went separate directions. She reached down to pick up the pan. She walked slowly. There weren't any more monsters. The red streets were empty. The word about a human probably was spread. She couldn't go back even if she wanted to. The Guard knew she was here.

She kept her eyes ahead. She could see the shimmering image of two armored monsters approaching. Kendall stopped, she took a couple of steps back. "Kendall," a familiar voice called. The teen turned around to see Searifa ran toward her. The golden lizard was closer to the teen than the guards.

The chef was in arm's reach in moments. Kendall gripped her grip on her pan. The other wouldn't leave. The teen could feel, the static feeling of magic. It didn't wrap around her like a coat, instead it gathered, becoming dense. White star shapes formed above her shoulders. But the chef didn't look at the teenage girl. Her green eyes were focused on the pair of monster guards that were gaining on the pair. She was going to attack them. Kendall looked over to the Guard. Kendall couldn't let Searifa attack the Guard, not for her. The human swung her pan toward the the lizard monster.

The attack had no intent to hurt the monster. She just needed her to stop her pointless protection. The metal pan collided with the chef's rib cage. There was a horrible crack sound. The white bullet fizzled instantaneously. Searifa's eyes widened as stumbled. Kendall wanted to drop the pan, but she tightened her grip. She had to do this. She had to protect the other, prevent her from making a huge mistake.

Searifa held her ribs, taking a couple of steps back. "I don't understand," she whispered, her green eyes filled with pain. Kendall opened her mouth to speak before a burning pain knocked her to her knees.

The clatter of armored feet surrounded her. "Don't worry. We got the human," an echoing voice said. Metal feet passed Kendall's view . The armored monster put a hand on the chef's shoulders. He physically put himself between the two. "They won't hurt anyone, anymore," the guard continued.

"She isn't a danger," Searifa said, clawed fingers wrapping around the guard's metal -clad arm.

"That's just the mind control, miss. It will wear off momentarily," the guard continued. Kendall was pulled to her feet. She left the pan behind, she wouldn't need it anymore. Searifa looked at the teen, clearly distraught. She didn't say anything as the guard that held her pulled her away. This is okay. They would all be one more step closer to leaving here. There wasn't any other way. She ignored Searifa's voice, even as it became angry. She wouldn't look back.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked the guard that kept a firm hand on her.

"To the King," was the curt reply. She could barely hear it over a call of her name.
