"Oh. You said something different. Good, I thought this would get boring," Chara sneered.

Undyne threw the girl a shield and created a spear.

"You can do it, Undyne," Papyrus cheered. He walked to Undyne's side.

"Heh. Even now, I feel the hearts and souls of all monsters. We all have one goal, to destroy you!" She stared into the child's eyes. "You are the enemy of everyone's hopes and dreams, monsters and humans."

The battle was beginning. Papyrus saw Undyne turn the human's soul green. Once she did, both Chara and Undyne had a look of shock. They turned towards Papyrus.

"Nyeh! I've been seen," Papyrus yelled in surprise. It was as if they could see him

"Why is there another heart here," Chara asked. She paused for a moment. She gave a sadistic grin. "Oh well. It can't do anything." She was about to attack, when Undyne's phone rang. Undyne turned on speakerphone and set the phone on the ground.

"U-Undyne! Do you see that o-or is my camera acting funny? Oh! T-this is Alphys, b-by the way," Alphys stuttered over the phone.

Chara tried to attack Undyne, but was stopped by a barrage of spears.

"Yeah! It's weird, right," Undyne asked. "What IS that?"

"I-I think it's a m-monster soul! B-but how? Th-they don't l-last long after death!"

"Whoa! Really?"

"I'm an exception to that rule, my dear friend," Papyrus boasted. He post triumphantly.

Alphys gasped.

"The soul flashed! What is it doing?"

Chara growled. "WHO CARES ABOUT THAT THING?" She lunged at Undyne, but was pulled down by an unseen force. Her green soul turned blue. "What's the meaning of this," she exclaimed. Chara tried to get up, but the gravity weighing her down increased.

"sorry buddy, but i care about this," Sans said, walking towards Papyrus. "i always suspected that you were following me."

"Sans, I..., please tell me that you can see me," Papyrus asked.

"Sans? Do you k-know the soul or something," Alphys asked. She paused for a moment.

"Yes," Papyrus yelled.

"The soul brightened at my question. It knows you, at least."

"i think i know who it is. dad? is it you?"

Papyrus felt like his heart was breaking. "No brother. It's Papyrus." Papyrus gave a small sigh.

"The soul dimmed…"

Sans sighed. "sorry, whoever you are. i got it wrong." He chuckled sadly. He turned to face Chara. He stared at her with malice.

"A-Another soul appeared! Another monster soul!"

Everyone turned to look at the other soul. It was Gaster. "Sorry about that. I was reading her research. I get far too engrossed in scientific works."

"What the HECK is going on here," Undyne screamed.

Chara tried to get up again, but was pushed back into the dirt. "stop it chara," Sans ordered. She tried to get up, but was again pushed into the ground. She let out a curse, but the sound was muffled.

"Are they boss monster souls," Alphys asked.

Papyrus shook his head. "I may be very great, but I'm not a boss monster."

"I am not a boss monster," Gaster said.

Undyne laughed. "Are you kidding? How would Sans, of all people, know a boss monster? He sleeps more than that annoying dog that I sometimes find around here," Undyne exclaimed.

"b'sides, the only one i know of is asgore."

"Mmd mreal," Chara muttered.

"Do you both know Sans? I-I know the first one does… but what about the second," Alphys asked.

"Yes. I do. I actually am his father," Gaster explained.

"And I am his cool brother! Nyeh heh heh," Papyrus exclaimed. "If only people could understand that."

"The souls flashed again," she exclaimed.

"heh. now i'm kinda curious. just how popular can i be? from what dr. alphys has said, your light seems to flash when you agree and it dims when you don't. so, you both know me, but what about undyne," Sans asked curiously. He glanced at Chara, to make sure she was still there.

"Yes! She's been giving me lessons, so I could join the Royal Guard," Papyrus cheered.

"I do not."

"One soul flashed while the o-other stayed the same," Alphys exclaimed.

"Wait… just how do you know me," Undyne asked.

"Can we JUST get back to our fight," Chara asked, seething with rage. "YOU WILL ALL DIE!"

"nope." Sans' eye glowed blue for a moment. Chara was no longer there when his eye stopped glowing. "that should give us some time."

"Y-you scare me sometimes S-Sans," Alphys muttered.

"you shouldn't be scared. after all, i'm a bit of a lazybone," Sans insisted. He winked his left eye.

Gaster chuckled. "Good one, Sans."

"Sans! I cannot believe you!" Papyrus started to stomp his feet. "Why do you do this? What is it with you and puns," Papyrus demanded.

There was a shriek on the other side of the phone.

"what is it?"

"One of the souls is brightening slightly while the other n-nearly blinded me. I don't know if it's happy or angry. I-I'll have to write this down. Your pun seemed to have an affect on it."

"really? huh. doesn't really tell me much. i perform at mtt resort sometimes. anyway, time for another question. do any of you like science?"

"Why would you ask that? It s-seems kinda random."

"nah. my other question was more random than that," Sans insisted. "anyway, do you like science?"

"Yes Sans, but you surely knew that." Gaster gave Sans a small smile.

"No. It makes my head spin," Papyrus muttered.

"O-One of the souls brightened!"

"okay. i think i know who it is. you're my dad, right?"

"Yes, Sans. I'm glad you knew I was watching over you," Gaster said.

"It brightened! Sans, it brightened!"

"HOW," Undyne exclaimed. She stared at the short skeleton in disbelief.

"he didn't die naturally. he fell into his own creation."

"Sans, what are you talking about," Alphys asked.

"me and papyrus' dad was the royal scientist before you, but something went wrong one day. he fell into his own creation and was erased from the world," Sans explained.

"W-What? B-but there wasn't a Royal Scientist for years! I took over an empty role!"

"so you didn't remember him?"

"S-Should I have," Alphys asked cautiously.

"nah. how 'bout the other soul. what do we have so far?"

"W-Well, it knew you and Undyne, had a strong emotional outburst at your pun, and it doesn't like science."

"Got it! So soul, do you," Undyne started. She suddenly stopped and fell to her knees.

"UNDYNE," Alphys and Papyrus screeched.

"undyne, what's wrong," Sans asked, his voice filled with concern.

She began to melt.

"No. No no no no no," Alphys exclaimed.

"Undyne! You can't die! You're my cool friend! Who else will cook pasta with me," Papyrus asked on the verge of tears.

"Please... d-don't die! I-I want you to live," Alphys yelled.

"S-sorry… Papyrus…. I c-couldn't… g-get… revenge…for you…"

"YOU STUPID SKELETON," Chara screamed. "HOW DARE YOU SEND ME ALL THE WAY BACK TO SNOWDIN," she exclaimed.

Sans' eye turned blue again. Once again, she vanished. He walked over to Undyne and closed the cell phone. He stood next to Undyne as she was saying her final words.

"Alphys… Papyrus… Asgore… Sans… I-I'm sorry," she muttered. She faded into dust.

"No…," Papyrus muttered. He walked over to the dust pile "Y-you can't be dead."

"sorry, undyne. i couldn't help," Sans lamented. He grabbed a handful of dust. "heh. for a moment, i thought that this timeline would be different. i don't know how i could be so naive," Sans muttered before disappearing.

Papyrus looked over at Gaster. "Dad? Can you revive her the same way you did for me?" He looked at Gaster with pleading eyes.

Gaster shook his head. "No. She had her own determination. Besides, I only had the one vial."

Papyrus let his gaze fall to the ground. "Oh." He let out a soft sob. "Why? Why did she have to die?"

Gaster patted Papyrus' back. "The human decided that nobody should live."

The echo flowers were strangely quiet today.

Done! I fooled you, huh? Gave you false hope for Undyne and the rest of the monsters, huh?

Well, perhaps... all is not lost... but then again, maybe it is. Who knows? I am glad I was able to put that twenty question-like thing in this. Made me happy to write it for a while, but it is the Genocide run type setting... so...

Anyway, thank you so much for the support! Bye
