A/N: Hello again. I forgot to mention that the residents of Snowdin (meaning the Bunnies, a few dogs, and Grillby's gang) had evacuated to the lab as well, and more important stuff relating to this fact will be revealed in this chapter and later in the story. Enjoy.
"W-what's with that weird expression? Why won't you answer me?"
The spiked dinosaur monster backed away from the human's blank expression.
The three monster in the lab could barely watch what they expected to be another murder of their kind.
They watched in agony as the journal went flying towards the kid's face. They looked away from the monitor, not being able to bear an innocent child die.
What they were expecting was the sound of another monster turning to m, but they only heard the sound of ripping metal.
Papyrus was the first to uncover his face from the pillow he was hugging. What he saw was horrifying.
The dino-like monster was shoved behind another monster as they avoided the hit. The protector, however, was not so lucky.
"Listen next time I tell you to leave, ok?"
Papyrus recognized those words only to come from his best friend, Undyne. Her entire body had seemed to be ripped in half, all in a single blow.
The monster kid ran past Undyne and the human, to the direction of Hotland, where he presumed his parents had to be.
Since the video footage was somewhat delayed, the Kid burst through the main entrance of the lab, bawling his eyes out, not a minute later.
"M-mom! Dad! Sis!"
He fell on the floor, curling up into a ball, creating a pool of tears.
Alphys immediately recognized the child from a photo she once saw, and ran to the elevator to search for his family.
"Mom… Dad… I'm so sorry… I shouldn't have run away…"
Papyrus walked to the child and put his skeletal arm around him.
"I know it must be hard for you, running away… But you need to stay strong! Doctor Alphys went to get your family, I'm sure they'll be so happy to see you safe." He used his voice that he used whenever Sans had nightmares. His most sentimental voice.
He hugged the child as if he were his own, his warm bones and jacket comforting him.
The kid stopped shaking. He leaned into the taller monster, wrapping his tail around his legs. They sat like that for a while, with Mettaton watching Undyne's speech.
"Oh. My. God. Darlings! You simply HAVE to see this!" He called out to them, moving so that there was more room on the couch.
Papyrus picked up the Kid and brought him to the couch, putting the blue coat around him. He tied the sleeves in a knot around his stomach, due to the lack of arms.
"Everyone in the world… I can feel their hearts beating as one! And they all have one goal… To defeat YOUUU!"
Undyne's scream was heard throughout the Underground. It filled everyone with hopes and dreams that they hadn't felt since the seventh human fell down.
Papyrus then made the monitor's footage go to all the screen downstairs by plugging in a few cords, so that everyone could see.
