He opened his sockets, letting a flood of light pour into his skull. His soul was racing inside of his ribcage, pounding on the door of his bones.

She stood in shock at the sudden skeleton, appearing in her house with a flash or orange light. She twiddled her claws, asking "P-Papyrus? Why a-are you here?"

Then, he looked up, seeing the yellow lizard monster. His eye's fire had disappeared for now, leaving the socket as its normal appearance.

"Doctor Alphys? Wowie, I haven't seen you since I was a baby-bones. It's nice to meet you again."

Alphys pushed her glasses up her snout, eyes still wide from shock.

"O-oh, yes, it i-is. I saw what- what happened in S-snowdin. I-I know he was very i-important to you, a-and it effected a lot of people, i-including me. B-but we can always-"

The oversized monitor made a "wa-psh" sound and their shoe came in contact with another being. The two monsters in the laboratory could only watch as another innocent Woshua was slain.

It turned to dust as the little duck in their bucket-like body fell to the grass. It tried to scurry off, but the human's legs were too quick. It, too, turned into a small pile of dust next to the former Woshua.

"Those poor monsters… We can't sit around and do nothing about it, Alphys!" Papyrus responded as he witnessed another murder.

"I know, P-Papyrus, but there isn't m-much we can do. All we r-really can do is w-wait for Undyne to defeat the h-human." She twisted her hands in one another nervously.

"Maybe there is! Maybe we can do something, other than watch! For example, we could evacuate the citizens of Hotland! Take them somewhere safe!" He came up with the idea off the top of his skull, not having any idea how thy would do so.

"Y-ya know, that's not a b-bad idea. We could get Mettaton to collect everyone he can find, and bring them all here. I-in fact, I'll call him r-right now!" She dashed to the other side of the room, dialing Mettaton's downloaded phone.

Meanwhile, Papyrus could only sit and watch another monster die. This time a Temmie, completely unaware of the killing-spree.

"Hoi, I'm Temmie! Human… so cu-" the innocent monster was met face-to-face with the cover of an old journal, the thick leather fracturing their skull so bad, that they almost immediately turned to dust.

Papyrus couldn't bear to watch any longer, hugging his brother's warm coat. He had already buried Sans' other articles of clothing, knowing that he was in a better place than the living hell that Papyrus was in.

Alphys walked back and sat on the couch, carrying a couple bags of popato chisps.

"Met's on his way here with the residents of MTT resort, along with a few people he found along the way." Alphys said in an attempt to comfort the cowering skeleton. She only got a slight nod in response.

Half an hour had passed, and the human was nearly through Waterfall, crushing the skull of an Aaron. Papyrus could swear that he saw a flower in the corner of the monitor screen, seeming to cheer the human on.

"Mmmmeeeettaton iiiiiis here!"

The door burst open, revealing the rectangular robot, along with, Bratty and Catty, a few Vulkins, Tsunderplane, Pyropes, and various residents from the resort.

Alphys hopped up from the couch, where Papyrus had fallen asleep, crying while doing so.

"Oh, M-Mettaton, thank g-goodness you're here! I-is this everyone?"

"Everyone that I could find, at least. That spider girl insisted on staying and protecting her beloved spiders, and who could turn down someone who wanted to save her species?" The robot responded, with his red "M" appearing on his facial screen.

"O-ok, we don't have enough time to go back t-to look for more. C-come here, I know a-a safe place."

She lead the crowd to what seemed to be a bathroom. She opened the door and revealed an elevator.

"Alright, everyone go in g-groups of ten. Mettaton, s-stay up here with me and P-Papyrus for now. If anything g-goes wrong, I n-need you to stay up h-here and resist the human as long as y-you can." The doctor then motioned for the first ten monsters to get in the elevator, saying it wasn't as scary as it seems.

Once everyone was safely downstairs, Mettaton and Alphys sat on the couch and woke up Papyrus to get ready for the upcoming battle between the two warriors.

Determination.
