"So this is Mount Ebott?" I asked Papyrus. He nodded enthusiastically, as he jumped up on another rock.

We were standing on Mount Ebott, which was supposedly the only way into the underground except from the king's castle. Sans was walking slowly behind us, as the cold wind brushed against our skin. I shivered quickly, and Papyrus looked at me, confused.

"ARE YOU COLD, UNDYNE? I TOLD YOU THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE WORN SOMETHING THICKER," Papyrus frowned at my cold figure. I shook my head instantly, knowing that braving the cold would be more of a challenge. Papyrus narrowed his eyes at me, and then looked at me, excited.

"FAIR NOT! THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAS A SOLUTION!" he took of his scarf and held it out to me. I sighed, and reluctantly took it. Even though I never back away from challenges, I could never back away from anything from Papyrus. Papyrus continued happily up the slope, as Sans stopped besides me.

"you better not lose that scarf," Sans said in his low voice. "that's my brother's favorite scarf. if you lose that, you'll regret it," Sans threatened seriously. I froze and looked down at his eyes, that were almost as small as a pinprick. He walked off, as I stood there.

It's been a month since I met the flower. I went back every Monday, and he showed more places to map. Which, in turn, made me more respected with the humans. It was a fair trade, and I enjoyed listening to the flower's tales of the past.

Life in the over ground is recently more normal. I'm still not popular with the humans (but what's new there?) and I help out Reveton as much as I can. I still haven't figured out the spear mystery, and I haven't gotten any clues since.

I walked after Papyrus, still puzzled with Sans' tone. We stopped near a cave near the middle of the mountain, all of us panting and tired. Sans sat down on a rock near the cave, and looked at us.

"you guys go ahead," he said to us. Papyrus frowned and looked at his brother with a confused look on his face.

"SANS?! ARE YOU OKAY?" Papyrus said, interested.

"i'm fine. just a little bit tired," Sans eyes drooped, as Papyrus and I sighed in frustration. "ill be fine in a minute," he said almost all of the way asleep. I walked into the cave, and saw Papyrus still standing there.

"Papyrus?" I beckoned to the tall skeleton. He turned around and walked in the cave, still with a wondering look on his face.

The cave was full of vines. It was almost impossible to walk without falling over, and they all had large thorns that were probably poisonous. I froze when thinking back about my dream a couple nights before, and shook my head in annoyance.

"Greetings, monsters, so you're here," I heard a snake like voice from the doorway. A small human was standing at the door, his face incapable of being seen.

"YES, WE ARE HERE?" Papyrus said to the human. The human walked into the valley of vines.

"DIE" the human said. I bolted out of the way as I saw a knife fly past me. I groaned in pain when I stepped onto a large thorn, right next to Papyrus. Papyrus summoned a bunch of bones, and chucked them at the human in fury, as I fell down onto my knees.

"UNDYNE?!" Papyrus said, scared. He quickly dodged a knife that was thrown near his head, and looked up as he tripped on a vine. He fell, and yelled in pain as I heard a huge crack.

The pain was horrible. There had to be something in that plant that killed… cause boy it hurt. The human laughed as it walked carefully over to us.

"Did you really think you could beat me?" The human laughed hysterically. I groaned as I forced myself onto my knees, and summoned a energy spear. I chucked it at the human, as they dodged it flawlessly.

"Hahaha! Do I really have to say it again?" The human continued to laugh, and raised it's knife once more. I dove to the side as a knife flew past me, and landed on a couple more thorns. My vision started to waver, as I forced myself to get up despite the pain.

"STOP MOVING," the human sounded more angry. His knife glowed red, as he made swipes in the air. I summoned my large shield that I usually used with the enemy, and blocked myself as the swipes went in motion. Paps ducked behind a large vine as the swipes hit it, and he got out of the way just fine.

"STOP-" the human said quickly, when he stopped. He froze in fear, as a bunch of beeping sounded from the doorway.

"I'M HERE, SANS!" Papyrus said to the beeping sound. I looked back and forth from the doorway to Papyrus, confused about how in the world Papyrus understood that.

"Sans?" I gaped in confusion. The human turned around, confused just like I am.

" kid get-" Sans said before continuing to beep. Papyrus frowned and tried to get up but failed. The human ran into the cave, and held out his knife defensively. I blinked, as I could finally see the human's face.

It was Chara.

I growled in annoyance at the kids trap. He quickly looked at me, but continued to stare at the doorway. The vision blurred, as I collapsed again in pain, clutching my one eye. I shook my head, headache starting to form in my head, and looked back up to the entrance.

Sans was standing there, hand clutching the side of his head in pain. The blackness of his eyes was welling over his eye sockets and making two distinct lines gored into his bone. His left eye seemed to be half closed, while his right was wide open; the difference of the two were chilling. A dark streak went from his left eye up to his forehead, similar with his right but with that line going down.

"Sans?" I said fearfully. He knelt on the ground, clutching his head with both hands as if he was in agony. Papyrus, who was peeking out from behind another vine, was watching in both fear and shock, and he kept one hand on his leg that broke.

"Ga-" Sans said in agony. A large crevice appeared on his forehead, as the two lines got deeper and bigger. Papyrus attempted to stand up, but ended up crashing down again because his one bone wasn't enough for support. I stood up, leg still burning in pain, and pointed a energy spear at Sans ready to throw.

"SANS! ARE YOU OKAY?" Papyrus called up to Sans. Sans beeped and did signs with his hands when they weren't on his head, and Papyrus shook his head. "NO! YOU'LL BE FINE, BROTHER." I looked back and forth between the two and wondered what kind of conversation they could be having. Sans groaned in pain again, as his skull was engulfed by black.
"SANS!?" We both yelled at the same time. Screaming filled the air, as we both covered our ears at the sound. Sans was engulfed in the black goo, and he was clawing his face repeatedly with his large black claws.

Suddenly, it all stopped. Sans became a black pile of goo. Beeping noises still came from the goo, however, and Papyrus was listening intently.

"SANS?! WHAT-" Papyrus started. He stopped when another series of beeps came from the goo pile. The goo pile shifted, as it turned around.

We both gasped.

Instead of nothing being there, a taller, human like mask was in it's place. It had the same scars as Sans had when he was transforming, and it had a jagged mouth kind of like the jack o'lanterns us monsters used to have on halloween. It had floating hands, with round circles through them, as it continued to beep and sign.

We were both terrified. We both slowly stood up, as I felt myself trip.

While the whole fiasco was going on, Chara decided to move around. He pushed me into the hole that Frisk fell in only months before, as I started falling. Chara laughed and smiled innocently down at me as I was falling, and I attempted to grab onto a spear on my left. My grip fumbled, as I slowly slipped.

My gaze wavered as I looked down. It seemed to be a large fall, and I had no idea if I would survive it or not. My right hand slipped from the spear, and I grappled for a hold on the spear with all of my might, as I saw magic flaring above.

I closed my eyes, tearing up. I wouldn't die like this, Papyrus wouldn't… I wouldn't allow us to die like this. I pulled myself up on the spear, and started to climb up the wall.

Even though my vision was blurry and the poison from the flower was slowly going up my leg making me numb, I was determined. Alphys said that monsters couldn't be determined, and that if they were they would become amalgamates.

Well… too bad, Alphys.

Cause I'm determined as ever.

I hauled myself up on the thorny floor above. The-thing-that-Sans-became was fighting Chara, and sending random rainbow colored magic from the holes in it's hands at the human. Papyrus was laying in fear among the vines, as the thing's magic attacks barely missed him. I summoned a energy spear, and glared at the human, who hasn't noticed me yet.

I gave the energy spear one good throw.

…

And it missed.

The energy spear landed on the rocks besides Chara. It clanked violently, as both Chara and Sans looked at me. I saw a flash of magic, and before I knew it I was falling. Again.

I tried to grab the spear again. I missed dramatically, as I fell down.

Maybe it wasn't just a dream...
