"That is indeed an issue," Asgore muttered.
Gaster sighed. "Although Error WAS from a different universe, I highly doubt that the humans will understand. The city was attacked by monsters. That's all they'll see."
"Unless it was all a promotional stunt," Mettaton suggested. He grinned. "After all, I am a star both aboveground and belowground."
"Do you really think that idea will work," Chara asked. "I mean, look at the destruction!" She gestured to the downed power lines and various holes in the buildings and the pavement.
Mettaton frowned. "At least I'm trying! What are you doing to help?"
"Well what am I, a child, supposed to do," Chara demanded.
"Well you're a very rude child," Mettaton said.
Chara nodded. "I know. You're just lucky that I'm not allowed near knives."
Frisk pushed Chara away from the now-disturbed robot.
"so, we doing mettaton's plan," Sans asked. "cause to be honest, i have no idea what happened this afternoon and i'm not sure i want to know."
"Yeah. That's probably a good idea. Although I do want to know why you were in that rainbow cloud," Gaster muttered. "What attacked you?"
Sans shrugged. "it was dark. i couldn't see the thing's face"
"Do you have a clue Dad," Papyrus asked.
Gaster's eyes narrowed. "Fresh did say something about someone wanting to get rid of him. Sans was standing in the cloud when Fresh left. So, if my theory is right..." His face scrunched up. "You were attacked by Fresh. So that means that Fresh was controlling you..."
"okay listen, i didn't need to know all this. i just got attacked by some unknown thing, and now i find out that some weirdo took my body and used it for their own nefarious gains." Sans frowned. "at least let me recover a little."
Humans began to gather around the group of monsters.
"Is the attack over," they asked.
Asgore stepped forward. "Hello everyone. As former king of the monsters, I would like to inform you that it was a single vigilante who decided to do this." He frowned. "I am terribly sorry, dear human friends."
"Guess we're not using Mettaton's idea," Frisk muttered.
"It's no worries darling. My camera broke in the chaos," Mettaton whispered.
"sorry...," Napstablook muttered. They appeared beside Mettaton. "i couldn't save the camera..."
Mettaton hugged the ghost. "Don't worry Blooky, my dear cousin. Asgore's trying to explain the situation."
"So! If a vigilante did this, where are they," a human asked.
"Er...," Asgore blurted. He hung his head. "We were forced to take action with the monster. He was threatening the lives of all who lived here. I could not stand and let him kill everyone."
"Did you kill the monster," a human asked.
"We did what we had to do," Gaster muttered. He acted like he was distraught about the imaginary action.
They gasped. "So... you would rather choose our side than the vigilante monster," someone asked.
Asgore nodded sadly. "I just want peace."
They gasped again. "You poor huggable and fluffy monster," a girl squealed. She ran out of the crowd and up to Asgore. She hugged the goat monster.
"Thank you human, for your kindness," he muttered.
Everyone was sitting at home, thinking of what just happened.
"That was some nice acting Dad," Chara complimented.
Asgore chuckled. "Well, I had to think of something, otherwise there would be another war."
Toriel nodded. "And we wouldn't want that." She looked over at Sans. "Are you alright Sans?"
Sans shook his head. "i was attacked by an outdated weirdo and was possessed by said weirdo. how would you feel?"
"Well, it wasn't you who used the outdated lingo, if that makes you feel any better," Papyrus offered.
"nope. i might just die of embarrassment."
"Good," Chara stated bluntly. "Then there will be one less Sans in the multiverse."
Sans feigned being hurt by her words. "ouch kid, and here's me thinking that you didn't hate me as much."
Chara glared at Sans. "No. I hate the entire skeleton family, although I hate Papyrus less than you and Gaster."
Papyrus grinned. "Wowie! I'm the least hated of my family!"
"Yeah yeah. Don't get to excited buddy."
Papyrus hugged Chara tightly. "Thank you Chara! I didn't know that I meant so much to you!"
"You don't," she growled. "Let me go you stupid skeleton!"
Papyrus let go. Chara frowned and dusted herself off. "Sheesh. You give him an inch and he takes a mile."
"An inch of what," Papyrus asked, slightly confused. "Is it pasta related?"
Chara groaned. "No Papyrus."
Asriel giggled. "I do love this family!"
Chara grabbed the TV remote. "I wonder if we're being talked about."
The TV displayed a news reporter near the site of the Error incident. Construction crews were on the scene, as well as a crowd of people.
"And we're here at the scene of the strange attack caused by a monster vigilante. We've heard that the vigilante has been taken out, however the damage has been done. Work is now being done to help repair the buildings."
A man suddenly ran in front of the camera. "Don't you guys realize that the monsters are just trying to trick us," he asked.
Chara rolled her eyes. "It's our history teacher."
"Who are you," the news reporter asked.
"I am a local teacher, and I have been threatened by monsters. They don't want me to teach on Monster History. Why, you may ask? Well, I personally think that it's to keep from spreading the truth," he exclaimed.
Chara turned off the TV. "Let's not feed into what that guy has to say."
"i really do not like that guy," Sans muttered.
"I don't think any of us do," Frisk added. "I'm hoping that he'll quit or someone replaces him soon."
"That would be great," Asriel muttered.
Okay. Sorry for the delay also for a kinda short chapter. I wasn't really sure what to do next. I've got an idea. What that idea is, perhaps you'll see. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Bye guys!
