A/N: I feel pretty good about this chapter. Not gonna lie. Anyways, time for answering Reviews!

Guest User FluffyPony101: I know. SAO and SAO II are my favorite animes.

badbloodkiller1: I want to write Genocide stories mainly for the repercussions of the run. I do also want to write one timeline without any G-runs.

Llew444: "WHY THANK YOU, REVIEWER LLEW444! I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED SEEING ME IN ACTION!" Alright Papyrus, that's enough. "BUT I WAS THANKING HIM..." I know, we need to move on though...

Koil-Archer: Of course. If a short chapter isn't short, it's long, and the chapter you reviewed on wasn't long, it was short. Did I make any sense there?

Guest User geniside felix: I'm gonna assume that you want Felix as a vote, and consider your vote received.

Anyway, Papyrus you better head back into Snowdin. Your puzzle is starting to boot up.

"OH GOODIE!"

-Papyrus dashes away.-

While he runs back to the story...

CHAPTER START!

Chapter 6

Getting Snowdin-to Snowdin

Papyrus laughed as the machine started up. "NOT EVEN I KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS PUZZLE!" The snow started to shift away, revealing a rapidly flashing tile floor. Suddenly, it stopped, the entire surface showing pink. "…WHAT… DID… DID IT JUST GO ALL PINK?" I nodded. "I GUESS I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT PINK DOES THEN… ON THIS EVERY COLOR TILE IS DIFFERENT. PINK TILES DO…" I held my breath. "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING." I breathed out. "I GUESS IT'S ONTO MY LAST AND MOST CHALLENGING PUZZLE!" He walked away, a grin still on his face, even though his puzzle didn't work.

"i must say i'm amazed. pap didn't lose his cool when his machine didn't work." Sans sat up. "he must really be happy 'capturing' you." He motioned for us to follow him. Frisk and I followed him until he turned a corner in completely disappeared. Eventually, we made it to a bridge. Sans and Papyrus were at the other end.

"HUMANS!" Papyrus announced. "THIS IS YOUR FINAL CHALLENGE! THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR WILL TEST YOUR SPEED AND DODGING ABILITY!" On command, a cannon, a flamethrower, an axe, a giant hammer, and a… dog on a rope came down? "BECAUSE THIS IS SO CHALLENGING, I'LL ONLY REQUIRE ONE OF YOU TO DO IT."

"Thanks, The Great Papyrus!" I stepped forward. "I'm doing this one, Frisk, and there's nothing you can do to change my mind." Frisk looked like she was about to protest. "Don't worry… I'm gonna use some magic so that I'm safe... er…"

"ALRIGHT, MALE HUMAN! THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR ACTIVATES… NOW!" The Gauntlet swung into action, but I wasn't far enough in to get hit.

I clapped my hands, feeling my magic surge through them… "Dynamic Dash!" I yelled as I parted my hands. I dashed forwards, running through the Gauntlet. The Axe and Hammer were easy. Just zipped past them. I jumped over the Flamethrower, and rolled under the cannon ball. The dog, however, was the hardest, as it was spinning rapidly, almost constantly being in the way of my path. I did something risky. I jumped off the bridge, starting to fall. I gathered my magic in my palms again and blasted it out, trying to do anything to gain some lift. It worked, sending me rocketing forwards, but I landed in the branches of a pine tree. "I'm okay…" I faintly said from the tree.

"HUMAN… THAT WAS AMAZING! THAT WAS THE BEST USE OF MAGIC I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU DODGED EVERYTHING SO FLAWLESSLY, IT'S LIKE IT WASN'T EVEN A CHALLENGE FOR YOU!" Papyrus was awestruck.

"i never thought i'd see the day when something other than a bird flew… guess i should rave on about how amazing it was." Sans seemed impressed. Papyrus didn't even react to the pun. As I climbed down, Papyrus deactivated the Gauntlet, and Frisk ran across the bridge.

"Felix…" Frisk's tone was angry. "If you do something like that again, I can and will put limits on your magic." "Jeez… That's a bit much, don't you think?" "And if you think that's a bit much, just wait until I really get angry!" I raised my hands in surrender.

Papyrus spoke up. "MALE HUMAN, I WOULD CONSIDER IT AN HONOR TO BATTLE WITH SOMEONE WITH SO MUCH MAGICAL PROWESS. IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME TO BATTLE YOU, I WOULD GLADLY WELCOME YOU INTO OUR HOME SO YOU MAY REST UP BEFORE THE FIGHT."

I smiled. "I'd consider it an honor as well, to battle such a crafty individual such as yourself." Papyrus looked like he was about to explode from excitement. "If I may so ask, could you please lead us to your house? I am starting to get tired…" Papyrus nodded and started to march off, yelling to follow him. "Phew… That burst of magic took way too much out of me…"

"i'll see you guys there. i have some business to take care of…" Sans sounded suspicious, but I shook it off. I didn't know Sans well enough to know if his business was dangerous. I walked to Papyrus's, and presumably Sans's, house. Frisk followed. She yawned on the way, so I knew she was tired.

"AH! HUMANS! WELCOME TO MY HUMBLE ABODE!" Papyrus seemed extremely excited to show us around. "HERE IS THE LIVING ROOM, WHERE YOU WILL BE SLEEPING TONIGHT. I'M SORRY, BUT I DO NOT HAVE A GUEST ROOM FOR YOU TO SLEEP IN."

I waved him off of the guest room topic. "No need. As long as I get a blanket, I could probably sleep most anywhere." Frisk rolled her eyes. "What? I could…" Frisk shrugged.

"ALRIGHT. I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHALL BRING DOWN SOME GREAT, BUT NOT AS GREAT AS ME, BLANKETS FOR MY GUESTS!" Papyrus bounded away, his cape billowing. A few moments later, he brought down some blankets for Frisk and I. "HERE THEY ARE, MY GUESTS." He handed each of us two blankets. "I GAVE YOU EACH TWO, AS IT GETS CHILLY HERE IN SNOWDIN TOWN." I nodded in understanding, and Frisk did too.

Papyrus was about to leave when I remembered something. "Papyrus, wait."

"WHAT IS IT, HUMANS? HAVE I FORGOTTEN SOMETHING?" Papyrus's face looked anxious, like he was about to get scolded.

"You're not in trouble…" I laughed slightly. "I wanted to tell you our names. I'm Felix, and she…" I pointed to Frisk, who was already sleeping on the couch. "…is Frisk."

"THANK YOU, THE FANTASTIC FELIX! NOW BOTH YOU AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP SO THAT WE CAN BATTLE AT OUR VERY BEST!" He ran up to his room, slamming the door.

"He's right… I should sleep…" I muttered to myself as I laid down. I drifted off to sleep, not even dreaming about what's to come.

I was awoken by someone nudging me. "H-Huh?" I sat up slowly. "Who's there?"

"IT'S ME… PAPYRUS…" Papyrus's voice was in an unnatural whisper. "I HEARD A LOUD THUMP SOMEWHERE. I THINK SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE IN MY HOUSE… COULD YOU HELP ME TAKE A LOOK AROUND?"

"Sure." I got up, summoning some fire magic in my hand. Instantly, the room was lit up.

"WOWIE." Papyrus's voice was still a whisper, but it showed his excitement. "THAT FIRE MAGIC IS COOL. IT'S LIKE AN ACTUAL FLAME YOU CAN CARRY!"

I looked over to Frisk and saw that she had fallen off of the couch. Sans was sleeping on the back of the couch. "Heh… Well, Papyrus, you either heard Frisk fall off the couch, or Sans get onto the back of it. See, nothing to worry about."

"I'M SORRY FOR WAKING YOU, FELIX. I FEEL SO SILLY NOW THAT I KNOW IT WAS EITHER SANS OR FRISK." Papyrus's voice was now like a normal person's speaking voice. Still quieter than normal for Papyrus, but still a decent volume.

"It's okay, Papyrus. Anything for a friend." I gave him a bright smile.

Papyrus looked like he was about to cry. "YOU THINK OF ME… AS A FRIEND?"

"Of course I do, Papyrus. Yesterday, we had tons of fun with your puzzles, and we're having a sleepover." I stretched backwards. "Although, I haven't had that much sleep in one sitting in a long while…"

"YOU GOT MORE SLEEP THAN USUAL, DESPITE ME WAKING YOU UP?" Papyrus looked surprised.

"I'm a light sleeper. Normally, after a couple of hours, my body wakes me up anyways." I folded the blankets back up. "Thanks for this, Papyrus. I really appreciate it."

"SO, ARE YOU READY TO BATTLE?" He had a wide smile on his face, seeming like he was ready to take on anything. I nodded. "WAIT… YOU CAN'T GO OUT LOOKING LIKE THAT! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE YOUR OWN BATTLE ARMOR!"

"Well… I don't really have much to wear?" I shrugged, not really understanding that I need special battle armor.

"I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, CAN LEND YOU SOME OF MINE TO CREATE YOUR VERY OWN BATTLE ARMOR!" He rushed upstairs and I followed him. He was rummaging through his closet. "HMM… I'M GETTING A CREATIVE BREAKTHROUGH!" The next two minutes passed by in a flash. I was getting clothes put onto me, as well as getting new weapons. Afterwards, Papyrus looked impressed as he motioned me to a mirror. I was now clothed in black. Black pants, black jacket, black cloak, and black boots. I now had a white shield and a white lance on my back, to diversify my color. "IT'S PERFECT! JUST AS I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS, YOU CAN BE THE BLACK LANCER!"

"Thanks a million for this, Papyrus!" I smiled, starting to rush downstairs before turning to him. "Well, c'mon! Let's have our battle!" As Papyrus seemed to gather some things, I woke both Frisk and Sans. "C'mon you two. I want you two there mainly for two reasons. One, to watch. Two, to help out just in case something goes awry." Sans nodded. He seemed like he wanted to watch too.

As I rushed to the predetermined battle site, I felt something… That special power that we had named DETERMINATION… I swear, I was feeling that very power surge through me now. I was DETERMINED to fight, but not to kill. I was DETERMINED to make a true friend out of both Papyrus and Sans. And I was DETERMINED to make sure that all Monsters got out of the Underground for good.
