Holy crap! 3 follows and 1 favorite in one night. I had a chapter written today, so I decided to post it early. This might happen again. Anyways, Enjoy and review!
Papyrus and Sans's unconscious bodies were wheeled in on two gurneys. People rushed others out of the way so they could move them safely. Moving to the section labeled "MONSTERS", they moved them both into separate rooms. A human doctor walked in.
"What happened?" He asked. He had blonde hair and a slight beard. His hair was long, but cleanly groomed. He had blue eyes and glasses. A talking cat walked up to him.
"Some type of fire appeared. Both of their skeletons are burned badly. Their charred, actually. What are you doing here?"
"Ain't it obvious, they're my patients."
The cat glared.
"They aren't, they're monsters."
"They're skeletons. They're just humans without the muscle or skin."
"They were born in the underground, which counts them as monster."
"Well what if I do it with a monster doctor? Bones are my specialty, the monster... stuff could be theirs."
The cat stared, then sighed.
"Fine. Their phones are there. See if they have any contacts."
He walked away, a smirk on his face.
Undyne's phone rang, interrupting the TV.
"Hello?"
"Ah.. yes. You must be Undyne." The doctor's voice said.
"May I ask who this is?"
"Of course. My name is Dr. William Dave Graste. You were listed in Papyrus's phone as an emergency contact." Undyne stood up and looked to Toriel and Alphys, who looked back. She turned it to speaker.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Papyrus and Sans were caught in some kind of fire, and were badly injured." Toriel gasped.
"Are they okay?" Undyne said through the telephone.
"We don't know. It would be best to visit them at the hospital." She hung up. She grabbed a few quick supplies and began to open the door. Toriel held onto her arm.
"Start up the car, we'll be there in a second." She smiled.
Back at the hospital, William waited for the other doctor to walk in. As he stared at the unconscious charred Papyrus, a monster walked. He looked human, but had blackened eyes. His body was almost entirely made out of stone, except for his hair, which was black.
"How do you even have hair?" William asked.
"I don't know." He simply replied in a deep voice.
"William." He extended his hand, as did the monster.
"Igneous."
"Cool name."
They both walked up to the skeleton.
"What seems to be the damage?" Igneous asked.
"One of the nurses says they might have been in a fire, But I know that's not true."
"And why's that?" Igneous asked nonchalantly.
"Look at the way it charred them." William point at certain places as Igneous wrote down a few notes on a clipboard.
"It's as if the origin point was inside them. And look at the burn marks! This was like a ball of fire erupted inside them."
"So a fire inside them." William looked at Igneous.
"I suppose."
"I'll bring this evidence to them and we'll make an new theory."
William squinted his eyes and held out his hand, motioning for him to stay.
"Must have been a pretty hot fire. Bones don't burn until around twelve thousand degrees fahrenheit."
"So, what things make fire burn at that temperature?"
"Nothing in an alley. The person that called us, did you figure out anything?"
"No. He called and then disappeared when we got there."
"Okay. Any news on Undyne?"
"No."
"Let's visit Sans and see what's with him."
Undyne tried calling Papyrus's phone. It went straight to voicemail. She called again. Voicemail. She pressed her foot on the pedal.
"Calm down, Undyne. They'll be fine."
"We don't know, for all we know, they could be dead!" Undyne argued.
"I called Asgore. he'll get there with us and Frisk is with him. They wanted to make Sans and Papyrus were okay. So the whole family will be there."
Undyne breathed in.
"You're right. We just have to get there and see if they're okay."
"That's right." Toriel reassured.
"Mind if I play some music?" Alphys asked, pointing to the radio.
"Sure" Undyne answered.
"That was man-made." Igneous said, gesturing around the crack in Sans's skull.
"It was punched in." William continued.
"So who punched it?"
"You think it was Papyrus?"
"Likely. They were the only ones in the alley when it happened." William continued to stared at the smaller skeleton.
At the front of the hospital, Undyne was talking to the desk woman.
"My name is Undyne. These are my friends. We're here for Papyrus and Sans."
"May I ask what you're relationship is with them?"
Toriel spoke up.
"We're family."
"Let them through." Igneous said, gesturing them to the door. Following them, Igneous spoke of his theories.
"We think it might be a self-combustion of some kind."
Undyne led the group and walked into Papyrus's room. William looked at her and smiled.
"You're Undyne. Nice to meet you, I'm William. Papyrus is right here." She ran up to him.
"Will he wake up?"
"No idea." William replied.
Alphys walked in. William smiled again and shook her hand.
"Alphys, the 'royal scientist'. I've heard a lot about you. Big fan of your work."
"T-thank you." She stuttered.
"You're welcome." He walked out the door, then returned with Papyrus's broken and unusable armor. In Igneous's hands were Sans's burned hoodie.
"I believe these belong to them. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing left of the hoodie, and the armor had been damaged so badly it is no longer usable."
Toriel grabbed them.
"Thank you." After taking a look at Papyrus and then Sans, He brought them into a waiting room to the left of Papyrus's room.
"So, I wanted to talk with you all." He whispered.
"I'm sorry, but we honestly have no idea of when they will wake up, if they wake up."
"Do they have pupils?" Igneous asked.
Alphys spoke as Igneous wrote down.
"Sans does, but not Papyrus."
"Well then, we'll know if Sans wakes up, but not Papyrus. Is there… anything he does in the morning to tell if he has woken up?" William asked to all of them.
"His brother lives with him, we don't know." Toriel answered.
William sighed in frustration.
"Damnit" He muttered. Undyne looked up at him in confusion.
"And why do you care? You just met them."
"well, one, they ARE my patients, and two... You wouldn't understand. Sans and Papyrus…*sigh*... Sans and Papyrus are more than what you think. They are possibly the greatest scientific and medical advances. And they're people. If they die then not only do we lose your friends we lose possibly fourteen, fifteen years of medical practices!"
"I'm not saying I only care that they're advancements. I'm not. I care for all of my patients. They are an entirely new species. Heavens I want out of this body and be put in theirs." He sighed again and tried explaining it.
"I care for them as you care for them. As family. I've read up on them. I know who all of you are. I want them to live as much as you do." He extended his arm.
Undyne hesitated, before grasping his too.
"Thank you" William said.
Papyrus walked in and stopped.
"Did I… miss something?"
Welp, that's chapter two! Anything I got wrong, grammatical errors, and anything else you don't like are welcome in the reviews!
