Guess who's back? ;)

Anyways, enjoy this next chapter.

P.S I apologize for any mistakes I make in advance.


Gray was tired and confused to say the least. Tired from fighting Tekishita, and confused from what their enemy had said before.

"…said he died..."

Gray would know if he had died or not. His standing was pretty obvious proof.

But…he did have a pretty weird feeling when fighting Tekishita from before.

It was like…he had done it before.

When he chased after Tekishita, he had instinctively stopped a few feet away from him. However, he wasn't sure why. But, one thing was for sure; he knew to always trust his gut. And, that trust paid off. There was a nagging feeling in his brain that told him to look down. As he did, he spotted runes on the ground.

Tekishita was surprised to say the least. With his trap found out, Gray used his surprise to his advantage and knocked him out. Afterwards, he rushed down to where the others were.

He frowned. When the kid said he had died, something started nagging in his brain. It was something that Sans had mentioned.

Time travel.

Gray's eyes widened. Could it be?

The kid in front of him dodged Erza's and Natsu's combo attack and slid off to the side. They yelped in surprise as a bright, blue beam flew towards them with blinding speeds. They put their knife up just in time to block the beam. They gritted their teeth.

"Stupid comedian." they muttered darkly. "Always ruining everything, can't he just take a nap one of these runs?"

After hearing what they just said, Gray decided to voice his suspicions out loud. "You're the time traveler Daku mentioned."

The child in front of him looked surprised. Their face broke out into a satanic grin. "Oh, I guess there is a smart one in this group. How'd you figure out?"

Natsu eyes widened and he held up his hands in a hold-on gesture. "Wait, the guild master of Midnight Barrem is the time traveler?!" Then, he thought about it some more. "Actually, now that I think about it, it kinda makes sense."

"Natsu thinking?" muttered Gray. "That doesn't make any sense."

"You wanna go Gray? Cuz I will-"

Erza glared at the two boys venomously. "If you don't shut up right now, I will make you."

"Y-yes E-Erza…" they meekly responded

The child ignored their banter and gave them a sickening grin. "Well Sansy," they said while whirling around to face him. "I'm actually sort of surprised that you didn't tell them. I mean, I almost forgot that you could remember."

Erza frowned. "Remember what?"

"Right, they don't know. You didn't tell them." They shook their head amusingly. "Always the secret keeper, never telling anyone anything, not even your own brother."

Sans shrugged stiffly. "there were more pressing issues at hand. one of them is standing in front of me."

"Hey!" shouted Gray. "You still haven't answered our question!"

"Yeah!" Natsu added. "We're still here you know!"

The child scoffed. "Why should I? You have no chance of stopping me."

Natsu said, "Ya know, that's what all of them say…until they lose!"

"I can time travel. You can't. The only one that could possibly have a chance at beating me is that comedian over there, and even he can't beat me."

Sans suddenly started to laugh. It started out small, but then it grew to a full out laugh. Everyone looked at him weirdly.

The child narrowed their eyes at Sans's sudden interruption. "Have something to say Smiley Trashbag?"

Sans stopped laughing and took a deep breath. "kid, i know i can't stop you. sometimes i wonder why i even tried in the first place. but, seeing these wizards being able to take you down faster than i ever could and seeing them able to defy fate, well i'd say we have a chance at stopping you."

The child raised an eyebrow, unimpressed by his little impromptu speech. "Oh look at that. The comedian has finally grown a backbone."

"well, i'm a skeleton, and you know what they say, we're all bones."

Erza moved to stand next to Sans. She stared down the small guild master. "We're all in this together. Though it is clear that Sans has many secrets, I will not abandon a fellow comrade, especially if their enemy is a murderous one that has kidnapped one of our friends. "

Natsu moved too. "Yeah! I can't wait to give you the beating you deserve."

Gray pounded his fist on his Fairy Tail mark. "We're Fairy Tail wizards! We'll never give up!"

The guild master sighed before saying, "If you keep digging your own graves, well, I'm afraid I can't help you anymore. All that's left is…well, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, would I?"

Natsu's eyes lit up. "A surprise?! Now I wanna s-"

Erza interrupted Natsu by cuffing him in the back of his head. Gray hissed out, "Shut up you idiot!"

Natsu rubbed the back of his head. "Ow! Yeesh, what was that for Erza?!"

The guild master rolled their eyes at the scene in front of them. "Can you guys not even go one second without arguing? I thought you would be a good challenge, but seeing this mess, I guess not."

Natsu cracked his knuckles. "You wanna good challenge?" He grinned. "Well, lemme give you one!"

With a cry, Natsu leapt into the air and yelled, "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!"

The child just continued to smile and stood their ground. Just as Natsu was about to hit them, an unfamiliar voice rang out.

"Mist Barrier."

Suddenly, a smoky, red, barrier appeared around the guild master. Natsu's attack bounced harmlessly off the barrier.

"Hey, that's not fair!" exclaimed Natsu.

"When was ever supposed to be fair?" said the same unfamiliar voice.

"Inside the barrier!" shouted Gray.

Everyone looked inside the barrier. Inside stood the guild master and a woman wearing a strange red, misty dress stood right next to them. There was no doubt that she was the one responsible for the barrier of mist.

"Who are you?!" Erza demanded.

The woman smirked. "My name is none of your concern. After all, you're going to die soon, so what's the point?"

Then, with a flourish of her hands, the woman dissipated in a puff of red mist. Everyone's face lit up in surprise.

"Where'd she go?!" shouted Natsu while looking around the area.

"Right behind you."

Everyone whirled around and saw the woman standing right behind them, inspecting her nails. She looked up from her task.

"The master wants to talk to you skeleton, privately." Then, with a blink of an eye, she grabbed the Fairy Tail wizards, and they all vanished in a puff of red mist.

Sans narrowed his eye sockets and whirled around to face his once-called friend. "where did you send them?"

The human walked forward, the barrier disappearing when the woman left, and said, "Now Sansy, is that any way to greet an old pal?"

"heh, you didn't leave a knife feeling between us when you started murdering everyone."

They waved a hand. "That's all in the past. Now," they said while making a circular motion with their knife. "why don't we go somewhere more private to talk about… the future?"

Sans's eye sockets widened in surprise at what he saw in front of him. It appeared to be a circular shaped rip in space time. Or in other words, a portal. It was surrounded by a faint red glow and it was large enough for a person to get through. On the other side, he could see a room with stony walls.

The guild master noticed Sans's surprise. They smirked. "What? Surprised? I told you I picked a few tricks when I got here. Now, follow me. We have a lot to discuss."

Sans's eye sockets blackened. He knew he had no other choice. With a tense stance, he walked into the portal, the human coming in right after him.

The human smirked and slashed their knife in a diagonal line across the portal. The portal behind them closed, leaving no trace other than the ruined landscape around them that anyone was ever there. The human turned around to face the skeleton.

They waved their hands at two chairs that were set up facing each other. "Sit, we're going to be talking for a while."

Lucy woke up with a groan. She blearily opened her eyes. Where am I?

Lucy gasped with surprise when the world came into focus. There wasn't much lighting in the room she was in but, she could make out the distinct shape of bars in front of her. She groaned out loud in frustration. She was in a cell. She reached out to feel the bars in front of her. As she went to touch the bars, her hand suddenly stopped right before it reached them.

Huh?

Then, Lucy looked closer at her wrist. Thanks to the lighting of the room and the concussion that she was pretty sure she had, she hadn't noticed the chains attached to her.

Great, I'm chained up to a wall.

As she examined the chains around her wrists she realized she still had her gate keys with her. She smirked.

"Open: Gate of the Lion! Loke!"

Nothing happened. She sighed. Well, there goes my plan of using magic to bust me out…

"Hey Luce! You here too?"

Lucy perked up. It looked like she wasn't alone after all. "Natsu? Is that you?"

"Of course! Who else would it be?"

"Hey! I can barely see five inches in front of my face. Don't blame me!"

"I'm here too!"

Lucy eyebrows raised in response. "Happy, are you here too?"

"Yeah! I'm so hungry…I haven't had a single fish in hours…"

"That's what you're worried about?!"

"Guys keep it down, yeesh."

"Wait, Gray? You're here too?! Does that mean Erza's here with us?!"

Erza's voice floated across the room in response. "Yes. It seems the enemy has captured us all."

"How did they capture us all?!" yelled Lucy with a bit of panic. "They can't be that powerful!"

There was a moment of silence before Gray spoke. "Well, it wasn't all of them. It was only one of them that got us all."

Lucy's eyes bugged out of her head. "WHAT?!"

Erza continued on with the explanation. "We were facing off against the master of Midnight Barrem-"

Lucy's eyes bugged out of her head. "Hold up! You were up against THE MASTER OF MIDNIGHT BARREM?!"

"Yeah," said Gray. "Apparently, they're the time traveler Daku mentioned."

Lucy's head spun with the new information. "So it's true they can time travel?!"

"Yeah, they told us."

Erza took over the story again. "While were facing off against the master, a woman wearing a misty, red dress caught us by surprise and captured us."

Lucy gasped. "Wait, you got captured by her? Ugh, I hate her so much!" Then she frowned. "Wait Happy, how'd you get captured? I thought you were guarding Daku."

"That misty dress woman appeared in front of me and knocked me out." pouted Happy. "I think she took back Daku."

"Huh." said Gray. "So, how'd you get captured Lucy?"

Before Lucy could respond, Erza answered, "The guild master told us one of their wizards had captured you. It was that woman wasn't it?"

Lucy nodded even though she knew no one could see her. "Yeah. She even took down Loke!"

A look of surprise flashed on everyone's faces.

"Are...are you sure about that Lucy?" asked Gray.

"Loke was the only sprit I took out during my fight against her. If she managed to capture me, then it's safe to assume that Loke lost."

There was a moment of silence as everyone went over the fact that Loke was defeated. They all knew how strong he was.

The silence was broken by Natsu exclaiming brightly, "I wanna fight her! She seems strong!" Then, his voice took on a more serious tone. "And, she hurt one of our own. She's gonna pay."

"If only we could get out that is." said Erza.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. "Guys, do you know if Sans is in here with us?"

There was silence.

Then, some loud sniffing could be heard on the other side of the room. Then, Natsu's voice rang out. "Nope. I don't smell him."

"I also didn't see the woman take him away with us when she captured us." added Gray.

Lucy gulped nervously. She hoped Sans was okay. Then Erza started to speak. "We need a plan to get out of here. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"Well none of us can use magic …I'm not sure how we can bust out of here." Said Lucy.

Grunting noises could be heard from the other side of the room. If she was correct, then Natsu was trying to bust out using pure strength. Apparently, she wasn't the only on with those thoughts.

"Yeesh, quit your grunting pyro. We're not going to get out of here just by using brute force." grumbled Gray.

"Hey, do you have any better ideas?"

"Well, I might think of one if you stop your loud and pointless grunting."

"At least I'm trying something!"

"Well, it's obvious it's not going to work! Even Erza can't break out of these chains!"

"So what?! I can do this!"

"You're just going to waste your energy Natsu."

"Oh yeah? Then-"

Erza cut him off. "Gray's right Natsu. We can't use magic or brute force to break out. We need a plan."

Natsu could feel Gray's smug smirk from where he was chained up. But, even he knew that Erza was right. No matter how much strength he mustered up, he couldn't break out of these chains. Natsu gave a yell of frustration.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from what seemed like outside of the room they were currently in.

"H-hello? Is anyone there?"

Everyone froze at the unfamiliar voice that spoke. Lucy's hand instinctively went to her keys on her belt. She gritted her teeth when she remembered she was chained up. Though the voice didn't sound very hostile, Lucy knew that could just be a trick to catch them off guard.

Everyone in the room stayed quiet. They all had similar thoughts running through their minds. Finally, Erza decided to speak on their behalf. "Yes, now, who are you?"

There was a moment of silence before the voice responded. "I'm another prisoner of Midnight Barrem and I couldn't help but overhear that you guys were trying to escape. I think I can get us out of here, but I need your help."

There was a moment of silence from the group. They didn't know if they could trust this prisoner; they could be working for the enemy for all they knew. Lucy hissed in the quietest voice she could muster, "Guys, should we trust this prisoner?"

Erza whispered back. "I'm not sure. For all we know, they could be working for the enemy."

"I agree with Erza on this one." whispered Gray.

"Yeah but what if they can help us?!" Natsu half-whispered, half-yelled.

Four different voices rang out. "Shhh!"

Lucy glared at where she thought Natsu was sitting. "Be quieter Natsu!"

Natsu could feel the glare Lucy was giving him. He sweat dropped. "Sorry Luce…"

Then, Erza spoke again. "However, we need to get out of here and this fellow inmate seems to be out best bet."

Lucy was worried. "What if it's a trap or something?!"

Natsu laughed and said, "Don't worry Luce, we can handle it. After all, we're Fairy Tail wizards!"

"Yeah!" agreed Happy.

Then, Erza directed her voice to the other prisoner. "Very well, we'll help you with your escape plan as long as we escape too."

The voice responded back. "Don't worry. It has to work or else…" The voice trailed off.

Then, it came back. "Anyways, I should tell you the plan before the guards come."

There was a short moment of silence before the prisoner added, "By the way, my name is Alphys. Now, here's the plan."

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail of Undertale

Oh look! Lucy and Happy are back! And...is that Alphys? What is she doing here? Guess you have to find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball- wait whoops, wrong fandom.

Okay, for real now, all will be explained in the next chapter...probably. Also, the human and Sans finally have their long over-due chat. (I can foresee a bad time in the future...)

Till next time!
