WHOOT NEW UPDATE! Thank you all so much for the favorites and follows since the last update as well as all the Reviews (seriously Reviews make my day every time I read them) I hope you all enjoy this new update posted ON TIME before my own set deadline for myself.
Anyways onto the new chapter!
Sans relaxed on the pine green couch that sat in the living room while Gaster seemed to be almost in a coma not to far from him on the couch. Turns out Papyrus had decided to try… spicing up his Spaghetti recipe to impress their old man. Needless to say one bite and the older skeleton was out like a light and Sans could have sworn he saw at least one or two HP fade away from Gaster's health bar… which instead of a number had question marks replacing them.
"wow dad, couldn't even handle the first bite. kinda seems like an amchur move to me."
The older skeleton seemed like he was holding back a groan from the comment.
"then again it's also a little hard to bay leaf how you can't handle a little spice."
Gaster's held back groan seemed to get a little louder this time.
"but at least this is a good way to get some spice puns out of the way. after all they are jamaican me laugh. feel free to stop me anytime soon, they are ghost chilling me down my spine."
Where and when the hell did he even learn all those spice names? Gaster internally questioned not even realizing once from the continued puns from his oldest son… that his youngest son had snuck out while Sans distracted Gaster mostly unintentionally.
...
Papyrus felt a little guilty for sneaking out after putting the Chilli Pepper spice in his spaghetti recipe for his dad… the old skeleton could never handle spicy things to save his life. However if the youngest skeleton was honest with himself, he knew it was a good decision as he marched his way through the snow filled land of Snowdin. After all someone had to try and make sure that the human wouldn't fall any further into a pit of violence.
Everyone deserves a chance after all… even if they do horrible things to others there just has to be a reason behind it. Good or Bad, it doesn't matter the reason… everyone deserves a chance to explain themselves or to even just have someone there to help them see the error of their ways. Help them find the good inside themselves and latch onto it to help them become a better person in the long run.
OR I COULD AT LEAST FIND OUT WHY THEY ARE BENT ON KILLING PEOPLE… Papyrus thought as he steeled his resolve. Tempted to steal an over the shoulder glance back to his home with the slightest hint of fear that it could be the last time he would ever get to see it again, Papyrus shook his head and continued forward with confidence in his step.
Whatever the reason was that the human had for having the capacity to hurt others for no reason… Papyrus was determined, through the combination of both PATIENCE and KINDNESS, to try and help them start following through on the right path.
Though as soon as he got close to the bridge leading from Snowdin to the Forest around the Ruins, something or rather someone stopped him.
"PAPYRUS!"
OH NO…
Before he could even let out a single word a pair of familiar strong arms wrapped around his midsection almost making him whimper as he knew what usually came next after this.
"Ngh-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The person screamed as they lifted Papyrus and started the following descent into an even more familiar move.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The skeleton screamed as he was pulled off of his feet and was being flipped skull first into the powdery snow below as Undyne followed through with a "Friendship Suplex" as he liked to call it when used on the skeleton.
Soon after touching down into the snow Papyrus was half expecting Undyne to start laughing at him and helping him right back up like usual. However that wasn't what happened.
"Stay here and don't you DARE leave this town Papyrus!" Undyne ordered as she straightened herself up, and was about to go running off into the forest… only to be stopped by a wall of Blue colored Bone Attacks in her way. "LOWER the bones Papyrus!"
"NO. NOT UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHY I SHOULD."
A hesitant look made itself known on her face as her lone eye moved away from Papyrus's determined expression.
"Look… I have a VERY important mission out there that requires me to KICK THE CRAP out of some punk who's causing trouble out there," Undyne said quickly and trying to keep as vague as possible, already knowing she was wasting time right now but she didn't want to lose her friend… no, not her friend, her BEST friend. Papyrus however grew worried, he didn't let down his magic attack down and barely noticed the growing panic on Undyne's face.
"Pap-"
"UNDYNE LET ME GO WITH YOU." If she was a little bit worried before… it had just gotten 10x worse with those six words the skeleton said.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" She screamed, grip tightening on her spear to the point underneath her armored gloves her blue scales would look a little white.
"BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE OUT THERE, I CAN HEL-"
"I said NO! I refuse t-"
"PLEASE UNDYNE!"
There was a moment of silence between the two monsters. The only sounds going on were the usual ones of the residence of Snowdin going about their daily lives… well aside from the few who stopped and stared at the argument between the Captain of the Royal Guards and the Skeletal Sentry… before scurrying off to continue with their usual routines, aside from Monster Kid who was watching with stars practically in their eyes.
The Captain grit her teeth as a jabbing pain of guilt started to hit her heart just looking at the skeleton. She then let out a loud yell before slinging an arm around Papyrus and holding him still and his now nervous looking skull close to her face.
"Alright listen up. You can come with, but the moment shit goes down stream I want you to put MAXIMUM EFFORT into keeping the thing we're going after LOCKED DOWN! If you don't, I'm gonna give you a SUPLEX LIKE NO OTHER and cancel our one on one cooking sessions. Got that?!"
"Y-YES UNDYNE!"
"THEN LET'S GO!"
With that the two began making their way into the forest of Snowdin… being sure to turn OFF the blue magic bones that Papyrus had up first.
...
Mettaton wheeled around anxiously within Alphys lab. Said lizard monster had went into the bathroom saying she would think about implanting the upgrade while there, but from checking undernet status posts he could tell she was actually a whole lot more excited about the human then giving him his long awaited upgrade. Though that's not what he was troubling him at the moment.
It was the feeling of dread he had whenever he thought about the human. There was something dangerously familiar about them to the ghost in the machine and quite honestly it kinda scared him. Especially when one very clear sceen continued to play through his mind that shook him all the way down into his very core.
...
Monsters being beaten down into nothing but dust on the screens around the only underground forest filled with dust blending in with the unforgivable white covered fields below making it hard to even realize where the dust even was. It was a devastating sight to see as he waited for Alphys to finish up preparing the upgrade.
Even worse were the screams that filled the room enough to scare the Royal Scientist a few times herself and continue to make matters worse for the two occupants.
"GOOD GOD THEIR CLOSING IN TO WATERFALL."
"T-Then U-Undyne c-c-c-can stop them!"
Yes that's right the Captain. Sure she was a muscled brute who really needed a reality check on anime in his own opinion, but in all honesty if anyone could stop this menace soon it had to be the fish monster herself.
However that was soon proven wrong a few hours later when the EX upgrade was installed, as well as putting in the rushed NEO upgrade, the duo checked the cameras… only to see the grizzly demise of the Captain of the Royal Guards. Watching as she melted on screen into an unidentifiable puddle of goo instead of the usual dust a monster would turn into upon death.
Had he been capable of it Mettaton would have thrown up at the sight, but what really made the scene that much worse was the heartbroken screams of despair from Alphys.
...
Mettaton quickly snapped himself out of these thoughts, though the sound of Alphys screams of sorrow still echoed through his mind in a haunting chorus of despair, he had to try and focus on what was actually going on right now. After all… he was finally going to get the EX upgrade he was promised so long ago.
But I did get it once before.
No, no. He had to remind himself that no he never did, not even in his unsettling images that plagued his thoughts when he would glance to the screen that showed the human walking through Snowdin, did he actually ever even SEE the EX form in full use.
But the NEO was used.
Preposterous on that one. He and Alphys had never even spoke about a "NEO" upgrade before, so why would something that never made itself known before suddenly make an appearance?
"M-Mettaton!" Alphys voice snapped the robot from his own internal argument/trying to understand just what the hell was with the seemingly random images that appeared every so often.
"SORRY WHAT WAS THAT ALPHYS?"
"T-The upgrade's ready t-t-to be installed now… i-if you want. T-Though if y-you do decide to t-try it out uh just, um-"
"LET ME GUESS POOR ENERGY SUPPLIES?" Mettaton questioned, surprising both himself and Alphys. It was almost an instinctual response he had… like he was expecting it. But how could he have known?
"Y-Yes a-actually. I uh, I'm still, um… w-working on it," Alphys bit out nervously, biting a little bit at her lower lip and carefully adjusting her glasses on her snout.
"WELL… LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED THEN. YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DYING TO HAVE THIS FORM."
Alphys laughed nervously a little bit before motioning for the Underground Super-Star to follow her upstairs to the repair table.
"Um t-to get it r-ready I need you i-in standby mode."
If he had working and visible eyes, Mettaton and Alphys both knew he would be rolling them at this obvious statement. Though he did soon turn himself over into the mentioned mode and seemed to "Power Down" as it were so the Scientist could get to the long awaited upgrade.
Even though she was still a little scared that when it was installed that her friend would never come back to visit her again… she was still determined to install the upgrade and finally get something right for once.
Fun Fact... I had to look up spice names for the puns in the beginning... and after doing that I felt ashamed with myself at how deep I'm willing to go to write puns. But ancho glad this update was made? ;)
Ha ha, but seriously I had to look up spice names for puns about spice.
What the heck is wrong with me?
Eh, oh well.
On a side not relating to the story... Papyrus and Undyne might be in for a bad time now and I'm pretty sure that Pap is glad that they are pretty far from his home so his bro and dad don't even realize he's not there.
...
Well at least he is glad.
ANYWAYS, I hope you all enjoyed this update, leave a review if you did and I'll hear from all of you, next Chapter.
