Chapter 4: Classified

March 2, 201X

"I know you're there." A tall blue monster with her long red hair in a ponytail wearing a black suit with a green tinge to it along with a white dress shirt and a black tie visible beneath the suit's jacket without turning around to the short, yellow, and armless monster bedind her.

"But I, like, want to help you Undyne!" The armless monster shouts to the blue scaled monster in front of them.

"No! You need to go back home Monster Kid! It's too dangerous for you! And this is FBI business!" Undyne yells back to Monster Kid, trying to discourage Monster Kid from following her down the alleyway.

"B-but . . ." Monster Kid starts, trying to think of something to convince Undyne to let him follow her before she interrupted his train of thought.

"No buts! You need to go home this instant!" Undyne yells once again, starting to move over to Monster Kid, bringing back some unpleasant memories of her dragging him back home to his parents.

"Ok Undyne." Monster Kid replies, lowering his head in defeat before starting to run home only to stop once he rounded the corner.

'Tonight, I'm gonna help Undyne and she won't be able to stop me!' Monster Kid thinks to himself as he waits patiently for a few seconds before poking his head around the corner of the alley's enterence only to see Undyne has already left down one of the three alleyways.

"Oh no! Undyne already left! I should have checked to see if she was still there earlier!" Monster Kid quietly berates himself as he surveys the area for some sort of clue that will lead him to Undyne.

'She can't be too far. She could have only gone left, right, or forward.' Monster Kid thinks to himself, trying to think of a reason he should go down a certain path over the others. 'Maybe right, 'cause, it's like, right?' Monster Kid justifies why he should take the alleyway to the right to himself while also confusing himself in the process as well. As he walks down the alley he soon is momentarily blinded by a distant street lamp flickering to life, revealing two figures in the darkness.

'That must be Undyne!' Monster Kid tells himself as he rushes forward towards the figures tripping in the process, with their features shrouded in darkness. As he trips, one lifts up their gun and cocks it in the direction of the other, causing them to rise their hands for the occasion to surrender.

"Yeah Undyne! Show 'em who's boss!" Monster Kid cheers when he lifts his head of the ground followed by his body. As he spoke, one turned in his direction and inched closer, revealing that they were a woman.

"Run!" She urges him before the other, still in the shadows, shoots the woman in the head, her features covered in shock as her body falls limp and falls to the ground covering the street in her crimson blood as the bullet that took her life clangs against the asphalt, seeming harmless as rolls towards Monster Kid.

"Hey kid. You shouldn't be here this late at night." The only other living occupent of the street tells Monster Kid, cocking their gun.

"You're not Undyne!" Monster Kid shouts, his voice wavering, backing away from the approaching danger, getting ready to follow the woman's last words and run away as fast as he could but was frozen in fear.

"I'm not like her. Never was, never will. And neither will you." The other creature replies lifting their gun up, the tip of it catching the light as they walked closer with part of their face in the light, revealing a maniacal smile that formed on their face as they pulled the trigger.

BANG!

Monster Kid stood frozen in fear, as his eyes go wide open and his mouth opens to let out a shriek as he falls to the ground.

'Is this what death feels like?' He asks himself, looking around himself only to still see the same lonely street except Undyne was in front of him. 'She looks epic.' He thinks to himself once more as he notices Undyne clutching her left eye as if she was in pain but was still holding her gun to her opponent like in an old west stand off.

"Undyne. You're... you're hurt." Monster Kid tells Undyne, his voice wavering.

"Hurt? It's nothing. Next time, listen when I tell you to leave, okay?" Undyne tells him, then quickly shooting the flickering street lamp as she runs over to Monster Kid, puts her gun away, and picks him up and runs back into the alley carrying Monster Kid.

"U-Undyne. You got hurt. C-cause of me." Monster Kid cries as Undyne gets him to safety.

"It's alright but we've got to get you to safety." Undyne replies, checking around her shoulder to make sure they weren't being followed.

'What was going on there before I saw them? And why'd that guy try to shoot me?' Monster Kid asks himself, wishing he had the answers as he drifted to sleep from the craziness of the night, hoping it was all just a bad dream, but the nightmare was only starting to unfold.
