Asriel and Verdana appeared in the air above the couch. They fell on the couch with a thud. "Oof!"

Toriel and Papyrus quickly ran to the couch as they heard the noise. "Asriel," she shouted as she ran from the kitchen. Toriel spotted the child fiercely hugging Verdana with tears in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Verdana… not a cat," Asriel began to sob,"...so we… w-were going to find out… w-who she was!"

Verdana nodded. She pet Asriel's arm. "I'll take it over from here." The cat looked at Toriel and Papyrus' concerned faces and sighed. "So we went down to this secret lab thing and tried to piece together my past. We were all kinda tired so we were taking a nap. That's when... " Verdana looked to the ground. Her face twisted with anger. "That's when my murder decided to strike!"

"Murderer," Toriel exclaimed.

"Strike? Are you okay," Papyrus questioned. He began to look over Asriel and Verdana.

Asriel nodded. "B-B-But there was a-another monster w-with us," he cried. "H-He didn't come back!"

"Who didn't come back," Toriel demanded.

"S-Sans," Asriel stuttered. "He p-protected us."

Toriel and Papyrus felt their souls shattered. "Sans," Papyrus asked in a small voice.

Frisk and Chara walked down the stairs. "What's going on," Frisk asked. She saw the crying faces of Asriel and Toriel. Papyrus also looked like he was on the verge of tears.

"S-Sans? B-But he..." Papyrus shook his head. "I-It's all a trick! A d-dream! He c-can't be dead."

Verdana frowned. "I'm sorry, but... he was protecting us and... my murderer, from when I was a different monster, killed him in cold blood."

Chara scoffed. "Yeah right. He wouldn't die that easily. Trust me, I know. And hold the phone. You're not a cat?" Verdana shook her head.

"He pushed m-me out of the way of some st-strangely-shaped bullets… and took the hits himself…"

Chara growled. "When I find that monster who killed Sans…" Chara's eyes had a red glint to them. "...They'll wish that they were NEVER BORN!" Chara marched upstairs angrily. "I'm getting Gaster. Don't bother trying to stop me."

Frisk quickly ran to Papyrus' and Toriel's side. Papyrus fell to his knees. He closed his eye sockets to try and fight the tears, but it didn't work. He softly sobbed into his hands. "Brother… dear brother… if only I had been there to protect you…"

Gaster came running down the stairs at a blistering pace. He carried Chara under his arm. "Asriel, what happened? What happened to Sans?"

"Dust… he…," Asriel muttered.

"This monster was coming after me again," Verdana grumbled. She looked to the ground. "It's my fault that he's dead."

A blinding white light erupted from Gaster's eye sockets. He stomped towards the knife drawer and pulled out a knife given to Chara by a person from a separate dimension. "Chara, you're coming with me. If you use it on anyone other than the killer, I will end you on the spot. Do I make myself clear."

Chara gulped. "Very." She took the knife from Gaster's hand. "Verdana should come this time. This person's after her, afterall."

Gaster nodded. "I'm sorry Verdana, but you have to be bait."

Verdana shrugged. "It's fine." She wiggled out of Asriel's tight grip and hopped off the couch. "I'll follow you."

Gaster created a door from thin air. He fiercely turned the doorknob and marched through. Once everyone entered the door, Frisk walked over and shut it. It disappeared from existence.

"Why did this have to happen," Papyrus wailed. "I got him back! My family was together again! Sans wasn't even mad at Dad anymore, even if he claimed that he couldn't forgive him!"

"Chara was improving," Toriel muttered. "I think she even grew to respect Sans and Dr. Gaster…"

Asgore walked into the living room with Alphys and Undyne. "What's wrong," Asgore questioned.

"S-Sans is d-d-dead," Papyrus answered in between breaths.

"Who's the punk and WHERE ARE THEY," Undyne demanded.

"U-Underground… somewhere," Asriel answered. He sniffled.

Undyne nodded. "Alphys, you stay here and help comfort everyone. I'm gonna kill that punk!" Undyne stormed out of the house. She yelled as she ran back to Mount Ebott.

"Why do these things have to happen to us?" Frisk sniffled.

Mettaton, now in his EX form, smiled at Napstablook. "Ready to start today's show Blooky?"

Napstablook shied away. "i dunno… if i'm really cut out to… report news…"

Mettaton shook his head. "Oh Blooky, you only have to hold the camera. I know how nervous you get when you're on camera anyway. "

Napstablook nodded and gave a tiny smile. "okay mettaton. i'll do my best!"

"That's the spirit," Mettaton cheered. "Now where's the news I'm reporting on?"

Napstablook floated over to a sign and pressed a button. The sign now showed the script he was to read. "there it is!"

"Thank you Blooky!" He turned to the camera and smiled. The recording sign turned on.

"And go," another cameraman yelled.

"Welcome to Ebott News, I'm your host Mettaton, and I'm here to bring you all the news you want."

A piece of paper was handed to Napstablook. He read it over as Mettaton began to read the script in front of him. Shyly, the ghost floated over and handed Mettaton the paper.

"-And for some, it means to," Mettaton read. He looked over at the paper. "Oh, it would seem we have some breaking news!" He skimmed the paper. "Let's see… disturbance… spears… screaming…" His eyes widened. "Death." Mettaton faced the camera and gulped. "Breaking news from the house of monsters. A monster, now identified as Undyne was seen running towards Mount Ebott. This is what originally got our attention, so we stopped the monster to ask why she was causing a disturbance. According to Undyne and eyewitness testimonies, a monster, still unidentified, has killed a monster by the name of Sans Aster. We do not have all the details, but we'll be sure to keep you updated."

The recording sign turned off. Mettaton threw the paper on the table and ran out the door. Napstablook followed. "Hey wait," the employees yelled. "Come back Mettaton!"

"Sorry darlings, but I've got some field study to take care of."

And done! So, now we've got several people tracking this person down. Hooray! I will make sure said character pays for what they did.

I know you really shouldn't, but trust me. I know what I'm doing and was completely prepared with the decision I might've had to go through

Also on a different note, Uncontrollable is a great song to write fighting scenes to. Perhaps it's because every time I hear it, something wants to kill me.

Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. Bye guys!
