This chapter is going to consist of two, count 'em, TWO battle scenes. One of them, you'll probably spot as soon as you scroll down a few. Aaaaand today, I have MANY comments to reply to! Like I said before, I love replying to reviews because it's MY way of connecting with you guys! I didn't get to do them last chapter, however. Ooooonto the reviews!
SeerElf- YOU MUST BECOME UNDERFELL TRASH. Join us SeerElf. JOIN US. And I'm going to finish this story, so you have TONS of updates to look forward to.
Random Guest That I'm Assuming The Name Of Is 'N'- Properties of a maroon SOUL? I explained that in RESET and SAVE, but I can do the same here. Each SOUL has a trait assigned to it. For Anna, it's Friendship. This is because of the way her good deeds spread throughout monsterkind. She has more monster friends than human friends. And will she end up killing someone? Well...you'll just have to wait and see.
BlueFlame27- "I LV it,"...
*More angry Papyrus noises*
"c'mon, kid! try harder!" Sans says.
"GETTING REAL TIRED OF YOUR CRAP, SANS!" Shonex yells.
StarBee24- MY GOD, STOP WITH THE PUNS!
"join the party, shony!" Sans offers.
"NO! SCREW YOU!" Shonex yells.
Random Guest Whose Name Is 'N'-MAKE THE PUNS STOP ALREADY! And, no, perverted Underfell!Sans is not making an introduction into this story. Lower your vomit back into your body.
"keeeeep the puns goin',"Sans says,"keeeep 'er goin',"
"SANS I SWEAR TO BARBARA DUNKELMAN!"
"you mean, barbara punkelman, shony,"
"STOP!"
Celeste-Ominous-I'm glad you are pleased! Just know that I read your reviews! Otherwise, I wouldn't reply to 'em!
I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. Until then!
Our little journey brought us to a small field of snow poffs. I recognized this area. It's where I went and faced Greater Dog. I could only imagine what he looks like right now. And considering the other enemies I've went up against, this guy is NOT going to be friendly...I disregard all the other snow poffs and head towards the one at the end. Like before, a small tail pops out of the end of the snow poff. But what I didn't expect to see was a three headed, brown-colored dog in grey armor pop out and growl at me. I guess it should've been expected though...Lesser Dog had two heads. My SOUL appears at my center.
-BATTLE START-
It's the Greater Dog.

"That's the Greater Dog, it's part of the Canine Unit of the Royal Guard," Flowey explains,"It's higher up in the ranks, mostly because of it's raw power. It sort of lacks in intelligence. Maybe...use that to your advantage?"
Flowey looks over to Sans, who waves the stick he has back and forth. Greater Dog doesn't seem to be as easily tricked as the other dogs. I sidestep to avoid the spear that it throws at me. Looking back at Sans, he shrugs.
"guess ya gotta do this the usual way, kid," Sans says,"surprise me,"
The Greater Dog snarls at you.

I had a plan, but I wasn't completely sure if it was going to work or not; it involved a lot of improvising. Oh well, I didn't save humanity by sitting around all day! I put Flowey down on a snow poff. He looks at me, confused for a small bit, but I just reassured him it would be alright. I pick up a snowball and hit it square in the face. I made sure that it didn't do any sort of real damage to the Greater Dog. Greater Dog's growl gets a tad bit louder. It picks up a huge mound of snow and forms it into a gigantic snowball. My mouth drops open a small bit.
"Oh n-"
My words were covered by the impending doom that was sent flying at me. I scramble to the surface of the snow to see Greater Dog standing over me, menacingly. I reach for his nose, taking care not to escalate this any further.
"Boop," I say, touching it.
It gives a confused look at me before its three heads let out a low, rumbling laugh. It goes to press my nose, but just pushes me further down in the snow. I raise my arm out of the snow, asking for help. My arm is grabbed, and I'm pulled onto my feet.
Greater Dog is content.

Greater Dog goes back to another snow poff and sinks into it, disappearing with a smile on its faces. I hear tiny claps.
"That was amazing!" Flowey says, clapping his two leaves together.
I go over to pick Flowey up.
"Thanks!" I say,"I didn't have many options though,"
Sans walks over to me, that same tired expression on his face.
"yeah, yeah, we can celebrate later," He says,"snowdin is over there,"
-88-
As soon as we stepped inside Snowdin, I noticed a large group of monsters standing at the center. It looked as if they were waiting for all of us to arrive. Nobody was in their houses, so that meant that everyone was all in that spot. The crowd parts to reveal Papyrus approaching us. He notices me wearing Sans' jacket and gives a disgusted look. I walk forward, Sans walking near me. We're about three feet from the crowd.
"AFTER ALL I'VE SAID...I FINALLY THOUGHT YOU WOULD'VE GIVEN UP ON THAT HUMAN BY NOW!" He berates,"YOU REALLY ARE PATHETIC,"
Sans stands in front of me and faces his brother. Sans looks at Papyrus in the eye and tries to explain himself.
"listen, papyrus, i-"
"BY KEEPING THAT HUMAN, YOU'RE PREVENTING US FROM BEING FREE!" Papyrus says,"DO YOU WANT YOUR ENTIRE RACE TO SUFFER DOWN HERE?"
Sans looks behind himself at me.
"kid, you might wanna go," Sans warns,"uh...in there,"
He points to a building on the side of us. Looking at the big sign, it says "GRILLBY'S". I was a bit wary, but went inside anyway. The entire pub was empty. I could hear someone in the back. I was going to assume that was Grillby. I sit down at the seat closest to the door. Setting Flowey down on the table, I sink into Sans' jacket.
"How're ya holding up, Anna?" Flowey asks.
"I'm fine, but I'm also a bit worried about Sans," I answer.
"He'll be fine, trust me,"
"I hope you're right about that..."
I get up and walk around the bar. The table where the dogs sat at were still there. Everything looked normal. It wasn't until I went and heard a voice that I realized that not everything stayed the same.
"Is somebody there?" A voice calls,"The bar is closed for today. Why ar-"
Grillby comes from the back room. And that's when I saw it. Purple flames. I froze when I see him. His flames dim when he spots me. He had on his usual outfit, but had leather
"Oh, you," He says,"That damned skeleton DID tell me a human had been found,"
I say nothing.
"The bar is closed for today," Grillby repeats,"But...I think I can make an exception. Just this once,"
He takes off the leather gloves he had. His hands become ablaze within nanoseconds.
"How do you like your SOUL?" He asks,"Boiled or burned?"
-BATTLE START-
Grillby stares you down.

"That's Grillby, he runs this pub," Flowey explains,"He can be greedy whenever it comes to money and things he owns. Nobody really challenges him because of his strength. He isn't that fantastic with defense however,"
Grillby launches a fireball at me. I dodge it and it sets the table in the middle of the pub on fire. He throws another and it sets ablaze on of the chairs in the room. I grab Flowey and narrowly avoid a cluster of fireballs sent at me. The room was burning and I had to duck low to avoid the suffocating smoke. That made it hard to see Grillby, however. I could hear the sound of something breaking. Not a moment later rubble begins to come from the flame-engulfed ceiling. The bars of wood holding the place up were beginning to break.
"RUN FOR IT," Flowey yells.
I nod and dart out of the pub and watch as it becomes swallowed by flames. I put Flowey down and step back to get a clear view of it. The light that was making the GRILLBY'S logo glow was out. The other monsters were coming by to see what the heck was going on. I walk up towards the door and slowly open it.
"Anna, what ar- NO! BAD ANNA!" Flowey scolds,"Don't go- OH SON OF A GOAT ANNA!"
Grillby was lying under rubble. I could see his SOUL being battered by debris falling on top of it. I run towards Grillby and try to lift the rubble off of him. It was hot and I yank my hand back, yelping. I notice his leather gloves on the ground. So, I take the gloves and put them on. I lift up some of the boards and help Grillby slip from underneath them. As I help him from the floor, his flames flicker.
"Wh-why?" He asks.
I shrug.
"Just felt like it was the right thing to do," I say.
Grillby and I move towards the exit and leave the building. As we watch it collapse from all of the flames, monsters come around and put the fire out. Grillby turns to me and grabs my hand. He bows his head.
"Thank you," He says, his flames brightening.
"Any time, Grillby!" I say,"I gotta go see what Sans is up to,"
He waves as I head off with Flowey. At the edge of town, I see Sans standing in front of Papyrus, his head aimed at the ground. As Papyrus sees me, he gets a glimpse of the smoke from the burning building. His jaw drops a small bit and he glares at me.
"LOOK, BECAUSE OF YOUR INSOLENCE, THE HUMAN DAMAGED PART OF OUR VILLAGE," Papyrus scolds.
He shoves Sans to the side and runs towards Snowdin. I look towards Sans, who still is facing the ground.
"You okay, Sans?" I ask.
"...i'm tired," He says.
"What?"
"i'm tired of dealing with papyrus all of the time," He says,"the insults, the condescending attitude of his...i'm tired,"
"Well just go speak to him about it!"
"...for a while, i felt that things would get better, ya know?" Sans says,"...but...now i don't know if that's the case anymore. in this world, it's kill or be killed,"
"Sans, what are you-"
He tightens his fist.
"and...and with your SOUL," he says, looking at me, a red flame coming from his left eyesocket,"I'm going to have a GREAT time,"
"SANS!"
"i'm sorry, kid,"
Cliiiiiifhaaaanger! I'm sorry, but that's all I can show you at the moment! Don't worry, I promise that the next chapter will be...well, feelsy. The feels shall smother all of you. Anyways, if you enjoyed this chapter, review, favorite, or follow for more updates on this story. Until then!
