And now for even more feels! To be honest, this one was hard to write...also, this features one of the two hardest boss battles in the Genocide run...took me two hours to beat. Anyway, we're dealin' with a grieving Sans and a very determined Undyne who decide that humans are in season.

(4 & 5 can be used interchangably, but one has a better waltz section than the other and the other has the better intro imo).
*NOTE* CAPS does not mean that the character is shouting. Paps speaks in all caps, Gaster does too.
"Bold Italic" would be the wingding font that Gaster speaks in. All skeletons can speak it though Gaster is the only one who can't speak any other language, so he uses magically conjured hands to speak with other monsters.
I do not own Undertale, all I own are Kristen (the brothers' mother), Lucida and Boli (the brothers' aunt and uncle) Triton and Sedna (Undyne's parents), Drake and Serran (Alphys parents) and Betus and Gammet (Alphys' siblings).
Chapter 4
"You can't just expect me to sit here!" Undyne snapped, glaring heatedly down at Alphys who held her hands up in surrender.
"U-Undyne you can't!" Alphys pleaded, "T-That human…no…that thing can't be stopped!"
She gestured at Sans, who was sitting on a chair, still holding Papyrus' scarf to his ribcage. The skeleton hadn't moved since he teleported into Alphys' lab and sat there, holding his brother's scarf like it was the one thing keeping him from Falling Down. Alphys turned to Undyne, lowering her voice.
"You see what it did to Papyrus," she finally muttered, but she was sure Sans still heard her, "What that thing is doing to everyone else! We need to get out of here!"
Undyne's golden eyes turned soft as she knelt down and put her hands on her friend's shoulders.
"I am the Captain of the Royal Guard," she reminded her, "I need to make sure that everyone gets out before I do. I can fight…there's so many that can't do that. I need to make sure they get out alright. You need to prepare for the evacuation, alright?"
"Undyne…did…did you come here because…"
"Because I think I'm about to die?" Undyne asked with a sharp grin, "HA! Never! I'm going to kill that little brat. Just prepare for the worst and hope for the best, ok Al?"
Alphys gave a sigh, pushing up her glasses and hugging her arms as Undyne stood up once more and gave a huge smile.
"I feel the whole world chanting for me to win," she stated confidently, "I can't lose!"
She turned towards Sans, who hadn't even twitched. Her confident expression fell as her golden eyes lit upon the scarlet fabric in his arms. She walked over to him, her armor thudding against the tile in Alphys' lab. Undyne gently put a hand on his shoulder, making him flinch slightly.
"Sans…I…" she started, reaching even farther…
Only for a blaze of teal to shoot through the room and Undyne found herself pinned to the wall, her soul burning royal blue through her armor as a wall of bones speared through the floor and angled towards her.
"SANS!" Alphys cried shrilly, grabbing the grieving monster's raised left arm and trying to lower it, "She didn't…STOP IT! Is this what Papyrus would have wanted!?"
His arm shook and finally dropped to his side. But he didn't say a word. Undyne was dropped to the floor, rubbing her chestplate as her soul faded from blue to white and then back under her armor.
"Ugh, Sans, I didn't know that you hurt so much," she muttered, getting up and walking towards her friend, kneeling down in front of him, "Hey…"
Silence.
"Sans…"
Still nothing.
"Look at me," she ordered, grabbing the sides of his skull and forcing him to look at her.
His eyes were dark, it looked as if his very soul was missing, just two black voids devoid of life and joy.
"I miss him too," she told him gently.
Sans turned his skull away, his hands shaking as he gripped Papyrus' scarf even harder, his bones rattling as this god-awful, choked cry emitted from him, chilling both Undyne and Alphys' souls. The two came close, Undyne finally drawing Sans into an embrace. She was expecting to get thrown away again…but to her surprise he clung to her armor, his whole body shaking with sobs. She drew Alphys in and the three of them stayed that way for a while, their souls burning brilliant white through their shirts, labcoats and armor…and Papyrus' soul glowing amidst them all with his brilliant orange light.
"You don't have to come with me, you know," Undyne said as she walked through Waterfall, spear in hand.
"want to," came the reply.
"You sure?"
"…"
Undyne gave a sigh, stopping and turning to face the small, hooded figure trailing her. Sans had eventually gotten out of the chair, wrapping Papyrus' scarf around his neck before telling Undyne he was coming with her. But, other than that, he hadn't said a word…which was odd, seeing as normally you couldn't get him to shut up.
She'd seen him get this serious only a few times. Normally when a human was in the Underground and was getting closer to the palace. She chalked it up to his position as Judge. The closer someone got to the King, the more serious and quiet Sans became. She touched her chest as they continued into the marsh, her soul aching slightly as she thought of her own position in the Last Defense. Sans was the Judge…
She was the Executioner.
"undyne,"
Undyne turned to face her friend, seeing him waiting a few steps behind her.
"'m gonna go this way," he mumbled.
"Alright, just…don't attack her, alright?" Undyne told him, "Come back to me and let me handle it,"
She saw a flicker of blue pass through his eye before he gave a short nod and walked off, disappearing in a flicker of teal light.
"I don't think he's going to listen to me," she muttered before continuing on her way.
Everywhere he went, the paths were covered in Dust. She definitely was heading this way…
"DON'T HURT YOURSELF, SANS, PLEASE!"
Sans' good eye flashed and he put a hand to his sternum, feeling the warmth of both his soul and Papyrus' radiating through it.
"…paps?" he muttered, "can you hear me?"
It had been the first time he heard Papyrus since taking his soul with him.
But, like all the other times, Papyrus' voice was silent. Sans' hands shook slightly before he continued on his way…only to stop as the human child appeared in his vision. He pulled his hood up farther to hide his features as he came up behind her, watching as she stumbled into Shyren somehow someway. He watched as she started to hum, getting Shyren to sing with her, as a crowd of monsters came to hear the singing…
He saw the kid turn around, her body poised to move, showing off the ballet slippers and tutu she was wearing. He tried to move, but something held him back.
"DON'T!" came Papyrus' plead…
Right as the kid turned on all the monsters gathered for the concert, killing all of them. Even Shyren, who couldn't move due to the horror of it all.
Sans felt he had control of his body again and quietly came into the room, unable to do anything but stare.
"paps…why did you stop me?" he whispered, feeling Papyrus' soul burn in his chest, "i coulda saved 'em…i coulda stopped that brat…"
But once again, Papyrus was silent.
Sans continued on his way, eventually catching up with Undyne, who had stopped by the marsh near the bridge, kneeling down and examining some Dust left by some poor monster.
"You saw them too, huh?" she asked, lifting the visor on her helmet as a breeze caused Sans' scarf to come free and float in it.
She shook her head.
"That kid…he stopped me from running that thing through…" she explained, "I was so close, Sans…don't worry, I sent the kid…"
"Yo... Y-you'd b-better st-stop r-right where you are..." a child's voice stammered, making both Sans and Undyne look up.
"Oh no…" Undyne whispered as she looked up just to see the little monster child standing up to the human.
"Cause if you w-wanna hurt anyone else... you're... You're gonna have to get through me, first,"
"undyne…" Sans started as Undyne suddenly burst into action, "undyne! stop!"
She didn't hear him. She ripped off her helmet, dashing forwards, nearly flying over the marshy terrain.
"...an...and…"
She formed a spear and dug it into one of the stones, using it to pole vault over the abyss land on the bridge, her feet pounding on the wooden planks right as the human leaped upwards, her foot arching out to kill the child…
And Undyne leaped in front of the kid, taking the hit and nearly getting herself cut in two.
"no!" Sans yelled as Undyne grunted, her body trembling as the child took a few staggering steps back.
Undyne staggered, reeling from the kick. God that hurt! She put a hand to her chest, feeling the crack in it.
"Undyne...you're...you're hurt..." the child stammered.
"Hurt? It's nothing," Undyne shrugged off, ignoring the crack that splintered through her armor, "Next time, listen when I tell you to leave, okay?"
"Undyne... I..."
"I'll take care of this!" she growled as a crack formed in her spear arm, "Get out of here!"
The child stumbled away, running right into Sans, who shot Undyne a worried look. She nodded, signaling him to leave with the child. She gave a shudder as he disappeared in a flicker of blue light.
"...heh...'it's nothing'..." she grunted as another crack splinted through her leg, sending her down to a knee, "No... s-somehow, with just one hit...I'm already...Already..."
Sans appeared back on the bridge as Undyne fell to a knee, her spear clattering to the ground and sputtering out.
"Papyrus... Alphys... Asgore..." she stammered, "Just like that, I...I've failed you,"
"undyne, no…" Sans whispered as Undyne's arm shattered, her blue scales starting to turn grey.
"No..." Undyne growled as a crack split down her face, breaking at her jawline, "My body... It feels like it's splitting apart…Like any instant... I'll scatter into a million pieces,"
Sans started forwards, good eye flaring blue as magic flared around his hand…
"But..."
He stopped, freezing as Undyne grabbed at her eyepatch, her body trembling…and a faint, yet vibrant green light started to shine through the cracks in her body.
"Deep, deep in my soul. There's a burning feeling I can't describe," she growled, staggering to her feet, balancing on her remaining leg even as it cracked, "A burning feeling that won't let me die,"
She glared at the human, the green light burning brighter and brighter. Sans watched in shock as her stats started increasing, moving upwards at an almost impossible rate.
"This isn't just about monsters anymore, is it?" she demanded, "If you get past me, you'll...You'll destroy them all, won't you? Monsters... Humans... Everyone..."
She summoned a spear, just for it to sputter and go out as her leg gave out, dissolving into silver dust.
"Everyone's hopes. Everyone's dreams. Vanquished in an instant," she gave a bitter laugh and turned her golden gaze on the human, "But I won't let you do that. Right now, everyone in the world…I can feel their hearts beating as one. And we all have one goal,"
She managed to tear off her eyepatch, green light lancing from it in a brilliant emerald display.
"To defeat you," she snarled, her light becoming unbearably bright, "Human. No, whatever you are. For the sake of the whole world..."
The wind began to howl, whipping around the three combatants, Sans had to grab onto Papyrus' scarf to keep it from being ripped from his neck.
"I, UNDYNE, WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!" Undyne roared as the world burned with searing emerald light.
Sans lowered his arm as the light died…but what he saw before him was not Undyne…at least…not the one he knew. She was at least two heads taller, her armor was pitch black save for a single emerald heart emblazoned upon the chestplate and a pair of snowy white gauntlets. She summoned a spear of brilliant blue-green light and bared her fangs in a wide grin, her dark eyes blazing brightly.
"You're going to have to try a little harder than that!" she snarled and she charged forwards as if shot from a gun, shattering the bridge behind her with the force she gave out.
Sans watched as Undyne became a blur of black, white, blue, red and green. She was faster, stronger, and more determined than ever. Her spears flew in impossible directions, but the human could not move, Undyne's role as Executioner kept them from fleeing while her magic kept them from fighting back or dodging for brief moments at a time. She seemed to dance over the battlefield, a being of whirling death and retribution.
"looks like you're gonna be avenged, pap…" Sans whispered, hand to his sternum as he teleported to Alphys' lab.
"S-Sans!" Alphys squealed, jumping five feet into the air as he pushed past her and pulled up the Waterfall cameras.
"you're gonna want to see this," he said with a bright smile, pulling up Undyne's initial battle and her transformation.
"…A-A-And I th-thought anime wasn't real," she stammered as Sans fast forwards to the current moment where Undyne was beating the living daylights out of the human.
"heh, looks like you were wrong," Sans chuckled, watching as the human struck at Undyne, doing a little damage but not before Undyne came back full force.
"Y-Yeah," Alphys smiled…only to freeze, "NO! UNDYNE! LOOK OUT!"
"what?" Sans demanded, looking at the screen…just to see the human kick Undyne in the chest savagely, making her fall to a knee as her HP ran to 0, "what!? that…that's not…she was just winning!"
He watched as Alphys ran back into another room, he heard the phone clicking as Alphys called someone. He turned back to the screen as what looked like blue and red paint began to drip from Undyne's pitch black armor.
"So even that power... It wasn't enough...?" she whispered, the green light in her left eye flickering and fading, "Heh...Heheheh...If you...If you think I'm gonna give up hope, you're wrong. Cause I've... Got my friends behind me,"
She turned her black gaze towards the human, her expression still fiery despite the fact that her melting from her inner determination was making her body lopsided.
" Alphys told me that she would watch me fight you..." she growled, "And if anything went wrong, she would... evacuate everyone. By now she's called Asgore and told him to absorb the 6 human souls. And with that power...This world will live on...!"
Undyne's body melted even further before she turned a shaky smile towards the camera where she knew Sans was watching.
"Someone will defeat you…he won't let you past him…" she whispered, but the human was already walking away, "After all…he's got a bone to pick with you…"
She closed her eyes…right as a hand laid itself on her shoulder. She looked up just to see a humanoid fish-like monster with red scales smiling down at her.
"C'mon, my little warrior, you did good," Triton told his daughter, "Your mom and I are waiting for you. We can go to the river and play…just like we used to…"
Undyne gave a brilliant smile, taking her father's hand…
Right as her armor fell to the ground amidst a pile of silver dust and a pool of what looked to be red and blue paint.
Genocide will probably the shortest out of the trilogy...but it is going to be quite interesting. That's for sure.
Anyway, hope you liked it. If you did, please let me know!
