Undyne and Alphys.

(Aurora's POV)

I started to sing Spear of Justice, Undyne's theme as she jumped down to meet Frisk.

Spear of Justice (Undertale the musical)

This battle is a hard one normally, but with my help Frisk was able to move faster than normal, so he took no damage from any of her attacks, once the opportunity presented itself he ran with a smile on his face. Undyne ran after him yelling at him to stop running and to face her. She seemed confused when she heard the singing follow them, she turned around real fast but didn't see me. Once she caught up to Frisk she turned his heart green again. "You escaped from me for the LAST time!"

Frisk just had this face that screamed 'oh really now?' it was hilarious. Durring this entire fight she was trying to convince him that he should just let her kill him now, because no human as ever gotten past Asgore, But we know how that turns out. She then started to throw her backward spears, soon after she got impatient again and forgot to keep his heart green, so once more Frisk ran. This time though Papyrus called and hilariously they both stopped mid chase as Frisk answered it. Papy wanted to invite him over to Undyne's house to meet her, so that her and Frisk could be pals. After the call ended the chase was back on, and Undyne soon caught Frisk once more.

"STOP RUNNING AWAY!" This time however she was so mad she forgot to turn his heart green so Frisk just ran again, this time running into Hotland. Past Sans, who was sleeping at his sentry post there, across a bridge. Undyne had stopped to yell at Sans for a moment before running after Frisk again, but the heat of Hotland soon caught up to her, and she soon passed out on the floor. At this point I stopped singing and ran over to the water cooler and poured a cup of water and handed it to Frisk, who promptly poured it on Undyne's face. That caused her to stand up and look around, she looked at Frisk then walked away, she was in no mood to fight after that.

"So that was fun!" I said to Frisk as we walked back towards Waterfall. Sans was no longer in his sentry station, it seems he was only there to distract Undyne for us. So we backtracked all the way back to the fishy house. We encountered a new monster who just grumbled about how back in his day puzzles where better and now they are all just lasers and moving rocks. After that it was a simple walk back to Undyne's place, when we got there Papyrus was waiting there for us.

"OHO! THE HUMAN ARRIVES! ARE YOU READY TO HANG OUT WITH UNDYNE? I HAVE A PLAN TO MAKE YOU TO GREAT FRIENDS!"

"Yes I am!" Frisk looked filled with determination!

"OKAY STAND BEHIND ME!" he turned to the door to knock "PSST. MAKE SURE TO GIVE HER THIS! SHE LOVES THESE!" he showed Frisk a bone wrapped in a bow, but he kept it with him.

As he knocked on the door I whispered to Frisk "I can't go in, Undyne would notice me if it is just us in her home." Frisk gave me a look that said he wasn't happy but he understood. "Bye for now." I snapped my fingers and froze time once more. I ran of all of the way back to the Ruins, it was time to see mom again. Once I was behind the Ruins' door I unfroze time. I walked up to the basement and knocked on the stairs.

"who is there?" Toriel's voice held anticipation and hope.

"A herd."

"a herd who?"

"A herd you were home so I came over!" As I said that I heard laughter coming from up above and coming closer, I walked up the stairs and met mom at the top "Nice to see you again!"

"Nice to see you to my child!" she pulled me into a hug. "Were is Frisk now?"

I returned the hug "Currently having a cooking lesson with the head of the Royal Guard, don't worry, though, they are friends." She was startled by this, I laughed as I said "Frisk is one befriending child, nothing can stay angry at them for long."

"So why did you come here, not that I am saying you aren't welcome to visit!"

"Because you and Frisk are the only ones who even know I am down here. I have kept myself hidden using my magic so that I could freely help Frisk. Also I don't want to have to fight monsters mistaking me for human." We had moved into the kitchen and were preparing lunch together, it was around 12:30, we had done a lot today and it was only half over.

"I can understand that, but I do hope that you will be able to make friends."

"Oh don't worry about that, I am doing well on that account, on a similar topic, Frisk called me 'sister'." I may have had to lie about the friends part, but the warmth in my voice wasn't faked when I talked about Frisk.

"Oh really?" she sounded so happy, almost as much as when Frisk called her mom for the first time.

"Yep!"

There was a brief pause as we started to eat, "My child, in our talks, you haven't mentioned your family once, why is that?"

At that question I froze, I looked down at my plate. "I don't have one, my first memories are of the void."

At my emotionless answer Toriel quickly hugged me "I am sorry my question caused you pain, it wasn't my intention!"

I looked up into her eyes "It didn't cause me pain, I was thinking about one of my friends, who went through a loss recently. That question can't cause me any pain, for I have come to peace with that fact long ago."

"Still no one should have to experience that, and who is this friend of yours? Are they doing alright?"

"Her name is Segoe, and I believe so, we all deal with grief in a different way. She has thrown herself into her work and spends time with her friends." After that we talk about a few things, like how far we have gone and what we have done, but I avoid naming people. We had finished eating when I cheeked the time on my phone. "Oh I have to go, I am so sorry but the cooking lesson should be over, and I need to get back to Frisk."

"I understand, have a good day and stay safe my child!" she hugged me as I got up to leave. I returned it then ran down the stairs, once I left the door I froze time and ran to Waterfall using the river to get there faster. I got there and saw that the house was on fire, Undyne and Frisk were standing just outside of it. I ran over and hid behind the tail part of the house and unfroze time.

"Well that was fun huh? We'll have to hang out again another time...! But somewhere else I guess. In the meantime, I'll go hang with Papyrus. So if you need me, drop by Snowdin, ok!?"

Frisk nodds "Yep"

"Oh! and if you ever need help, just give Papyrus a ring, ok? since we are in the same spot, I'll be able to talk, too! Well, see you later, punk!" she then ran out of the area, Frisk called Papyrus and after a few seconds I heard Undyne's voice, she runs very fast it seems, after a brief chat Frisk hung up.

"Well it seems you had fun, tell me did you get anything to eat?" As I was talking I walked out of my hiding place

At my voice Frisk spun around "Sis, there you are!" he literally ran into me, giving me a hug. "Where you there the whole time?"

I hugged him back "Nope. I went and got some food." I didn't want him to know I went and visited mom, she still wouldn't answer her phone when Frisk called, she had hope that Frisk wouldn't be killed by any monster, but she didn't want to give Frisk false hope.

"That sounds boring! Me and Undyne had lots of fun! And no I didn't get to eat anything."

"So I see, and I thought as much." I handed him a PB&J sandwich.

"Where did you get this?" he asked curiously

"Maaaaagic" I wiggled my fingers for effect.

"Right, is that the actually answer or do you not want to tell me?"

"It is the actual answer." as we talked we walked back down to where the Riverperson was, we got a ride to Hotland.

"Beware the one who holds many faces" I just give them a look. Frisk looked confused at that

when we got off of the boat. "Who are they-"

"Me, though I don't know why they said that to me, but I can change myself and mimic others."

"So you can be anyone?"

"To an extent, if I am mimicking someone I have to seen them and heard them. Which usually not a problem."

"That is so cool! Have you impersonated anyone here?"

I shifted uncomfortably "once or twice, for the most part this world's timeliness are normally very stable."

"Who did you impersonate?"

I smiled at his curiosity "In this world I have played the role of MK."

"You were Monster Kid once! I never noticed." He sounded disappointed about that.

"That is the point, I was supposed to be MK, not me, so I played my role to the letter." We walked into Hottland after leaving the dock, in front of us was a save point, which Frisk used immediately.

"So off to go see Alphys? Or are you going to wait for me?"

"She probably knows that I exist, but not what I look like or what I am, so I might as well come with you." I was teasing him.

"Hey! Oh, wait... your teasing me aren't you?"

"Yep" we walked down the right path towards the lab, the left path lead back to Waterfall, and the path forward was blocked by two guards. As we walked into the lab it was dark, so we just kept walking, when we got to the screen, Frisk looked confused because I wasn't in the video.

"Why aren't you in the video?"

I laughed at that "Look closer" I pointed out a thin purple outline of me, it was barley visible, if you weren't looking closely you wouldn't see me.

"Oh! I see it now." we walked past it to the point where Alphys comes out of the elevator and the lights come on. I moved over to the bag of dog food while Alphys went through her speech, the only difference was that she mentioned the purple 'ghost' that followed him. Frisk looked at me for a brief second, and I returned the look with an 'I told you so'. Right on cue Mettaton appeared crashing through the wall like the diva he is. As he was introducing the show I gently climbed onto his head and sat there, Frisk was having such a hard time not laughing, especially when I started to mimic him only more dramatic.

After the quiz show ended, I hopped off of Metta and landed next to Frisk as the robot took of. After Alphys calmed down after that last question, the one about who she had a crush on, to which we said Undyne, She turned to Frisk "um, I wanted to ask you something, have you noticed that you are being followed by something?" she wasn't stuttering, she was serious about this.

"Do you mean Sans or something else?" Frisk asked. I could barely keep myself from laughing at that.

"N-n-n-not Sans, there is this um thing that follows you, it only appears as a purple outline on the cameras, but no one seems to be able to see it in person." she got a little bit nervous when we brought up Sans, but oh well. Frisk looked at me as we moved over to the monitor, I nodded in response. He pointed at where I stood in the room. "you mean that purple outline?" Alphys looked confused until she looked at the monitor, Frisk had pointed to where I stood not at the screen.

"Yes, do you know what it is?"

"I do know who it is yes."

"who?"

I let go of my magic. "Hello Doctor Alphys, I am Aurora."


(In the void)

It feels wrong.

She had her hand over her chest where the soul hid. It ached and throbbed, like someone was trying to pull the shards apart.

She groaned in pain, unable to link the pain with the procedure. Then a thought struck her:

Aurora doesn't have a soul...that means that something would need to act as her life force.

Her pupils dilated, leaving her eyes black.

Her magic would be her life force...and I just ingested it.

She pried her patient shards from her being, they were held together with knots of gunk-Aurora's magic. It was like a parasite, trying to feed off the turquoise trait.

Without a soul, her body's hungry for life. This could...

She doesn't dare continue that thought.

I need to reverse this!

She pulled at the amethyst substance, trying to tear in away. It tightened it's grip, causing her to wince in pain.

"This isn't what I wanted!" she wailed in defeat.

One of her eyes felt different, she looked into the vacuum of the void-so far that it acted as a mirror. Her left eye was glowing purple.

Her soul retreated to her body, the pain only growing. Tears streamed from her eyes. The right sported the original, color-corrosive tears, while the left dripped inky, black ones. She hated it.

"Segoe, you need to-" a familiar voice appeared.

"Ink!" Segoe sobbed, whipping around to face him.

"SEGOE, WHAT DID YOU DO?!" he panicked, eye-lights changing to red diamonds.

She whimpered, drawing out the corrupted soul.

Ink freaked, vomiting black paint in surprise, indicating that his magic was fluctuating.

"Can y-you get it off..?" Segoe coughed on the purple substance which began clogging her throat. It dropped from her eye and jaws, mixing with the corrosive tears.

"It'll take a bit..." he frowned sympathetically, "It may hurt-"

"Anything but this!" she hiccuped.

Ink sighed, "It's called 'Cleaving'. We will remove the parasitic magic from your soul, but it will still be in your system."

She nodded her head slowly.

"Let us begin..."
