One World: Many Souls

Chapter 20: Hit While Your Down

Papyrus' Point of View:

"-breaking news today! After the initial man hunt for the teenage boy, Lucas Madden and his partners, all parties have been found and left without bail in the detention center. His crime list is as thus follows, using magic on a house member, using said magic to manipulate a house member, attempting to force a house member into an illegal marriage and so on. The trial between the Madden family and the Terians house hold is planned to be held at ten this morning. The court house is already packed with many of the monster people as well as the Terians head of house, Angel Terians and her husband Sans. Though I've heard the court proceedings will be private and only a small room will be used for this proceeding. It's also been noted that current head of houses, Victoria Terians, will not be the judge this time around to keep things fair between parties. Another house had been called in, the Masato family's head, Jade Masato will be the judge during this case while it is broadcasted today. We'll be taking a short break before-"

"Look! It's the Terians!"

Angel and Sans could be seen on screen appearing in faded blue light from Sans' teleportation magic. People were yelling, asking for words with them while they blew past, not a word said by either.

Frisk was watching the news with a haunted look to her face. It had been a couple of days and she was discharged from the hospital soon after once she was on the mend from what taxing things that Luke fellow was doing to her. She blinked tiredly at the screen before I came to her side.

"Sister? Frisk?"

She hardly looked at me while I came around to the couch to turn off the TV. She was recovering, slowly. Her external parts of her body were already becoming better as she ate well and wasn't constantly fighting off that Luke fellow's magic, but internally… I knew she suffered from a great deal of guilt for not being stronger, and for letting someone as pathetic as him play around with her, ruining all that mattered to her.

She didn't need to watch the news unfold around her, showing off just how she had let someone get to her.

"Come now, Sister. Won't you help me in the kitchen?" I tried to show her a bright smile. I couldn't let her sadness win! "The Great Papyrus, your best friend, and brother, requires you to help me make a delicious cake! I wish to prepare a safe one for the little ones to eat on their first birthday in half a years' time and would love your assistance! I also need help with making some lovely sandwiches for when our other sister and brother return home!"

Frisk quietly still sat there, which unfortunately brought down my mood slightly. It made me worried for her mentality as she kept us out and unable to help her in her time of need. Though Angel and Sans did say to give her time as she went through how to get better. While we could be there for her, it was something she would mostly need to overcome herself.

I hated how I was unable to help her in those moments. Sitting on the side line and watching from afar was not the way of the Great Papyrus.

"P-papy?"

I lifted my gaze, delighted she was speaking at least. "Yes? What is it?"

"What… do you think is going to happen?"

My smile fell a bit as I watched her sadly. One look between her and her shallow gaze still upon the television that had been turned off was worrisome.

"I will be honest with you, Sister. Our siblings will not allow anything terrible to transpire. However, they will not allow Luke, nor anyone attached to him, to get away with what has been done. Sans and Angel believe that the older brother was the one to steal Sans' signature for Luke to go through with this plan, which puts them both at fault. And those parents of his… they left for far too long leaving the upbringing of their son in hands of someone unsuited for raising another. I… do not know what the end result they will choose as their punishment, but I know that Angel and Sans will fight to get the justice you deserve."

Frisk didn't respond to that. She kept her gaze away from me for a few more moments before her gaze came back to me. There was still no light to her eyes… it honestly had me very worried…

"I… Papy?"

"Yes, Frisk?"

"…I feel… s-shouldn't I… be d-doing s-something?"

"Do something?" I blinked at her, unaware of what she was hinting at. "What do you mean, Sister?"

"Well… I… hurt people… when Luke…"

My shoulders sunk at her comment. "No one blames you for what you have done under the influence of that male. But if you feel responsible and in need of doing something… perhaps I could suggest something for your friends that felt the brunt of Luke's terrible actions?"

She focused more so on myself at that comment. "L-like what?"

I gave her a smile as I led her toward our large kitchen where some items I had left over from college were left. "Come with me, Sister."

Angel's Point of View:

The silence was eerie as we sat inside the court room. Only a small group of us were allowed inside as the court would begin in a short handful of minutes. Myself, Sans and Alphys were on the side fighting for Frisk that was allowed in, while Luke's family had been dragged inside to fight for him or save him from the hell he was about to endue.

Jade Masato had willingly agreed to be the judge in the affair. As head of the Masato household, justice was the main thing that concerned them. She and I were on mutual terms, somewhat friendly when I became head of house, though her being the head of the household that used justice magic, fair judgement was all that mattered to them. They craved to work on cases such as these. She couldn't wait to see all the evidence and see who was the true ill party.

I couldn't blame her, and I knew she would give a fair ruling.

We had endless amounts of evidence to prove that Luke, his brother Caleb, and his small group of friends were all guilty of the crimes committed. There was so much to go over… and the trial took president at the time. Perhaps I was letting my emotions get the better of me rather than focusing on others of the land or the entire country I was supposed to govern.

But Frisk was my sister, someone I raised and cared for unconditionally for years. There was no way in hell I was letting that asshole get away with what he had done.

I could see across the way the parents that had been dragged into the other side of the court room we were using. Both Mr. and Mrs. Madden sat with scowls upon their faces for their work being disturbed for something stupid that their sons had caused. They looked between each other, and glanced at us from time to time, but mostly glared at the empty judge seat where Jade would sit shortly once the two boys of their family will have been gathered from the detention center. It was taking her a while to do so, so we calmly waited.

The parents looked identical to Luke, matching blond hair, pale white skin, blue eyes. It seemed that neither of them shared his misshapen face or teeth with him however. Both just looked positively irritated for the fact that they had to wait for this procedure to start. The wife especially was sneering in our direction at my choice of husband.

Why should we care about a monster lover?

Hush dear, that's a house member. The head of the Terians' household. I'm angry too, but we shouldn't cross them too much.

Those were the words that irritated me the most. Just because I married a monster they were going to think he was beneath them? That he didn't have the same rights as them? What a loathsome woman…

"Easy, Precious." My hand was firmly situated in Sans' to keep me from being enraged beyond the point of reasoning. "Don't let their racist view get in the way, Frisk is more important."

He was right, I was fighting for my sister, not that of monster rights at the moment.

"I-it should be starting soon, r-right?" Alphys tried to take deep breaths as she sat beside us. Even as she was infuriated for what had happened, she was still nervous for standing before people and would most likely be yelled at. Her proof of Luke Madden using magic would be the most solid form of assistance we needed to prove him in the wrong.

"All rise for Judge Jade Masato!"

The door opened the courtroom and the woman came barreling in swiftly with the two men bound in chains. Those boys quietly walked in and sat in a locked area where other chains were used to hold them to their spots. Mindlessly they moved while Jade herself locked them in place and returned to her chair. Not a single other person was in the room, but cameras were scattered all over to cover every angel.

No one was to interrupt us.

Jade's eyes were burning yellow in color, the color of her soul while she used her magic. Those of the Masato family used their magic to create weapons, tools and other useful items to help them with achieving what they always desired, justice. I could see in those moments how Jade had used tiny needles to suppress and partially knock out the men she had dragged over for easy transportation without asking for assistance. Once they were taken care of, I could see her pulling out those glowing yellow needles and they faded into the air.

The mother stood up quickly, slamming her hand on the table before her. "What did you do to my sons?!"

"Acupuncture control. I shut off or wake up certain points in their bodies to control them with these little needles of mine, a rare trait I only have." Jade stated calmly before sitting at her chair. Many needles of the yellow color she held between her fingers and narrowed her eyes to the woman. "Now be mindful Mrs. Madden. I have no ill will toward you and wish a fair trial, however, outbursts of such as you just preformed will get you kicked out of my court room. Do behave."

"Dear." The husband's hushed aggravated tone was enough along with his arm to yank the woman back down into her seat. She struggled to hold back the animalistic hissing that came from her mouth.

"Very well, now let me begin this trial with an overview of the situation before us." Jade carefully pulled up a handful of folders that had been on her desk ahead of time for her to glance through, though I was sure she read up on them before hand to be as knowledgeable as possible. "Angel and Sans Terians, you're here along with Dr. Alphys Chordata of the monster kingdom to charge Lucas Madden with mind control, attempted kidnapping, underage marriage, falsifying documents and underage consumption which he all applied to your younger sister, Frisk Terians, the survivor in this case. Correct?"

"Yes, Judge Masato."

Pleasantries. We did have to keep a certain level about them as we were in public and Jade was our neutral party. I didn't wish to do anything that would cause us to lose the advantages we had. Or for her to dismiss any evidence we had.

"Now, defending Lucas and his brother Caleb are their parents Patrick and Georgianna Madden who claim that none of these charges are real or possible, as your statement says. Would that be correct?"

Before the wife could shout something that could hurt their side of the case, the husband pushed harshly on her leg when she tried to stand. She started at him in anger while the husband focused on Jade. "That is correct, Judge Masato."

"Good. Then we will begin piece by piece to determine if the allegations that the Terians household have made are in fact true. Let us start with some evidence. Does the prosecuting side have any evidence?"

"Yes, Judge." I held up the first piece I had in my hands. The fake marriage certificate that had Luke, Frisk, and Sans' signatures on them. A copy was in my hand to present it to both our judge and the Madden's. "My I bring this to you and the defense?"

"Please do."

I carefully walked out around the table to give Jade her copy first before also giving a second copy to the parents who looked at the documents. It was at the same time that those that Jade had brought in from the cells were waking up from her needles and shot awake to look around.

"What the fuck? Where the hell am I?"

"Woah… what a trip…"

Jade narrowed her eyes at the two. "As I told you before, gents. You are at your trial. Do keep quiet until a question is asked of you. If not, I will throw you out and deem the court in the favor of House Terians."

The older son kept quiet while Luke was quick to mutter profanities. Jade I could see letting it slide for the time being while she looked over the document.

"It seems that you have given me a marriage certificate, one that is very obviously illegal. Is that correct?"

"Yes, Ma'am." Sans replied quickly while taking the copy we had on our desk. "I'm aware that ya know about laws and rules for marriage as a Head of House yerself, but for the people at home and the defense, can I explain?"

"Most certainly." Jade easily nodded, carefully looking over the page again while she spoke. "Do proceed."

"Thank ya. Now, this certificate is very illegal in the eyes of the houses. For a few different thin's. Starts, is welp, my name on it."

"Your honor! His name is on it?!" The wife was quick to shout back. "Then how is it not a legal marriage if a house member approved it! It must have to do with him being a monster, right?"

"Please sit down, Georgianna." Jade's tone was angry as she narrowed her eyes to the mother. When the mother nervously did so under the intense gaze of our judge, Jade returned her look back to Sans. "Continue please."

"Yeah, sure. So, it's got m'name on it, which is a big no no. Plus, it's a poor copied signature at that. For the fact that its plagiarized, 'n the fact that it's gotta be m'wife's name instead o'mine. That's more than enough proof to show its invalid, but I got one more thin'. Both Frisk and Luke are underage. Without the permission o'the Head of House, my wife, she couldn't get married. That's another whole slew of papers that woulda needed ta be done."

"Yes, those would all be true facts. This is an invalid marriage license that seems to be Luke Madden and Frisk Terians trying to be wed. That much I deem true. There is no marriage, so we shall set that to the side."

I sighed as I knew one part was over, but there was more to be done. Jade was specific to not note anything about Frisk being controlled as of yet because we haven't shown any proof of that yet. So far, we'd only managed to solidify that Frisk is not married to Luke.

But it was a start.

"What else would you like to present?"

Raising my hand carefully, Jade looked to me. "We would like to prove the underage drinking one next Ma'am."

"Underage drinking?" It was the husband that time that spoke, though much calmer than his wife which he was struggling to hold her down to her seat to prevent her from being thrown out. "Of course, our older son drinks, but not Luke. What proof do you have of this?"

"A couple of things actually." A small stack of pictures and papers I had in my hands. "I have more evidence to present both you and the defense if I may, Judge?"

"Proceed."

With Jade's permission, I brought forward the stack of documents for her to look over, as well as a similar stack to the parents. Luke was only scowling in his seat; however, the older brother Caleb looked a little pale in his. He struggled to avoid eye contact.

With that in mind, I opened the stack and set them before me to go over each piece one at a time. "As you can see, there is a police report, multiple pictures of a burned home and medical records that should be in your hands for both parties to see. Is that correct?"

Jade nodded filtering through the items before her after setting her first bit of evidence to the side that was already done and over with. "I see them all, do you, Madden?"

The husband sighed as he looked over the pictures of his burned home as well as the two other documents I had delivered. "I do."

"If you'd be willing to focus first on the medical reports, there are four of them from over the course of the last year. The first is May sixteenth, then August twenty-first, February tenth and finally the most recent March thirtieth. These are all dates where we saw Frisk showing signs of being under the influence of a substance. We took Frisk to our good friend and witness with us, Dr. Alphys Chordata who tested her blood and found either alcohol in her veins or one instance where there was also a small dose of marijuana. While I realize perhaps that anyone can use these substances and that they are not illegal, no one in our family uses them and Frisk is underage. The other fact that we can confer on this is that she only would appear like that after going out with Luke. Attached to the back of the reports you should also see a photo of the calendar dates I showed you from the medical documents. Frisk noted and wrote down every date she would go out and see Luke on a calendar hidden in her room, and she would hide it under the theme of 'Project for Music'."

"There does seem to be a line up between those dates on the documents and between the pictures you provided." Jade hummed as she looked over the documents. "However, that is not enough evidence for me to agree to your claims."

I could just feel the righteous gaze come upon me when the mother of the boys thought that perhaps I hadn't built my defense enough. I could see her husband eyeing me carefully. I'm sure he knew that wasn't all I had.

I knew that wouldn't be enough, but we were prepared.

"My apologies. I have more evidence to go with that if you could switch over to the other pictures of the Madden's home as well as the police report, which was actually done by your own faction."

"Hm? Oh yes, I do remember this report coming across my desk yesterday." Jade looked it over carefully. "It seems from the report that you requested that of my house's police force to do a thorough investigation of the Madden home while you and your people and that of the monster kingdom kept your distance or guarded the hospital where Frisk Terians was recovering, yes?"

"Correct, and before you are the pictures that were taken by actually your brother. Along with his report on the accident."

That caused Jade to blink quite harshly as she carefully looked through the pictures and read through the report that her brother gave. Austin was an asshole. He was a pain in my ass from the time I met him as a child. I was a thing for him to claim and think that he would have me, but thankfully that never ended up being the case. Even with our past grievances, he wouldn't let his wounded pride get in the way of justice against someone who did him no wrong.

"Yes, from this report it claims that as stated the fire was started by Prince Asriel Dreemur, of the monster kingdom who had followed, protected and saved Frisk Terians. He openly admitted to this and was willing to accept any punishment for his magic getting out of hand. Austin also stated how he saw many bottles of echo flower essence and below the floor boards were hidden marijuana."

The older brother whipped over to his younger one. "You took from my stash?"

Luke scoffed. "Not like you never let me try it before."

"Lucas! Caleb!"

Both brothers froze under the actually surprised gazes and infuriated looks of their parents. The mother especially stood and raised her fist. "How dare you keep those items around! And Caleb! Do you know how much trouble you could be in for letting him and anyone else that's not family member drink or try substances?!"

"You would be correct Mrs. Madden. And it would seem that Caleb would be the provider in this case. With the evidence provided thus far, it's clear that under the only adult Caleb Madden, that at least both of those teens were taking in substances that they were not legally allowed to do so until age eighteen. There for, he is the one at fault and will be accepting those punishments I will be later handing out." Jade set those pieces aside before staring back at us. "What next do you wish to go over?"

"Last bit we got is the attempted kindappin' and mind control." Sans commented before a massive packet was in both his hands. "Mind if I brin' it up?"

"Of course."

Sans seemed to not use his teleportation skills then as to not irritate our judge. A massive packet of a presentation was set on her desk as well as that of the Maddens'. Alphys then stood up and started up a projector that she had brought the court room.

"I-I'll be s-stating this piece, M-ma'am." Alphys attempted to do her best, straighten her back and keep her stuttering to the bare minimum she could. It was all for Frisk, we had to do our best. "I-I have t-two pieces o-of proof t-to show you. T-the first is L-luke's effect on F-frisk. F-frisk w-was often brought i-in for medical h-help a-as you saw f-for the last year d-due to a decline of h-her health. I-it was v-very difficult t-to pinpoint it a-at first, b-but seeing no c-change in Frisk n-no matter the t-test o-or treatment, w-we used a small s-scanner t-to constantly s-scan her soul e-even when s-she'd left my lab."

Pictures everyone seemed to scan through matched up with the presentation that Alphys was showing. Pictures of Frisk when she started out much healthier before she slowly began to deteriorate before our eyes. Then Alphys brought out the pictures where you could actively see the scans of Frisk's soul and where its red color seemed to be covered by a grey haze, and the most dramatic declines always happened after that.

"Y-you can see here when someone h-has t-taken advantage of her s-soul here and i-it restricted her. I-I have m-multiple records w-where its s-shows F-frisk's soul b-being r-restricted and e-even hurting her."

"Yes, I do see that." Jade carefully looked at the slides Alphys pointed at as well as continuing to scan forward. "And with this being a magic where its honestly harder to prove that it came from Luke, do you have any more solid evidence to prove such a feat of him?"

"I don't have magic!" Luke shouted from his side of the room. "You idiots fucked that one up!"

"Lucas, shut up!" The mother snipped at him quickly. "You already have us a heap of trouble! If they can prove this one too-"

"Oh, we can prove it." The voices stopped at my tone.

Jade waved me forward. "Well then, go ahead."

"Thank you Judge." I turned over pages in the packet they had been given until I got to the final few sets. Alphys returned to her seat letting out a nervous sigh. "After doing extensive research of the Madden's bloodline, it shows that from Georgianna's side that her father was able to use similar tactics while assisting with House Charisse. It was noted more publicly that he worked as a servant there, but after talking with the current head of house, it turned out that he was used in trying to swindle information from those that had attacked or were a threat to the family. It notes here the exact details of his abilities. Slowly being able to take over a host body until they're entirely under his influence. And it appears that his grandson was able to inherit that ability. The same grey coloring of the soul takes place from detailed documents and it seems the pre-requisite for the magic to activate also took place, which is where the subject is caught during a point of extreme emotion, normally anger or a negative emotion, and that allows the protective layers of their soul to be easily bypassed. You will find these details on the back five pages of the packet."

"Yes, I do see them." Jade took the moment then to turn to the parents of the accused. "Do you deny any of the claims made today? Mr. and Mrs. Madden?"

"You… have made your points…" The father sighed before giving up, leaning his head into his hands. "It's clear you've won your case. We can see just how our sons have done wrong while we were away. But… what will become of them?"

"Due to the claims listed and what has been proven correct, both brothers will be facing jail time. Caleb will face two years for what time we were able to understand of his brother getting into items he should not have. As for Luke, most of the crimes fall to him. Regardless of the fact that he is still a minor, he's of age seventeen. He will be tried as an adult for what he's done. Due to it being his first time… I will say twenty years should be more than enough."

The mother screeched. "Twenty!"

"What?!" Luke called out after her. "That's a fucking long time! What's wrong with you?! Don't I get less time for it being my first offense or some shit?"

"I see you've read up on the law. You would be right. But your case is unique due to it involving taking advantage of house members. You also falsified documents, and while we can't necessarily prove that you used your brother to gather said forged signature that is on that document, you still bare the brunt of the guilt. Your parents will also be facing fines and limitations on where they are allowed to travel to due to your incentive actions due to negligent parenting."

The mother and father both jumped from their seats, but it was the woman who shrieked. "What in the world do you mean by 'where we're allowed to travel'?!"

Jade sighed before she glanced over at me. "Would you care to explain yourself to them, Angel?"

"I'd be more than happy to."

I stood far too quickly then I should have. But we were in the final stages of the trial. Jade had given her ruling that Luke was guilty. We had won. It was only time then to cut the loose ends.

"For starters, I don't want Luke, his brother or you two anywhere near my sister. She's gone through a tremendous amount of trauma that needs time to heal, being anywhere near him isn't going to help her, so all of you are going to be required to leave Terians' land and stay elsewhere. Jade already made plans with me before the trial that if we won, she would take both your sons to Masato territory. It's your choice if you two plan to move there as well, but you will not be allowed back here."

"Wait a moment… not allowed back?" The wife's jaw dropped at that. "For how long?! Our jobs require us to have the ability to move between the countries governed by that of the houses!"

"Mine will be off limits to you no earlier than Luke getting out of prison."

"WHAT?!"

"Gotta think 'bout it from 'nother prospective, lady." Sans struggled to hold back the glow in his eye light then. The boiling rage we both felt in those moments boiling over. "Terians country's filled with monsters. Monsters that treasure Frisk, m'wife and that of the Terians' entire community with quite a lotta respect. Ya really wanna stick around where there's a hellva lot o'monsters that could hurt any of ya?"

The husband sweated at that. "Is that a threat?"

"No, but it is a likely scenario being that a house member was harmed and a dear friend of the monster community." I picked up the conversation, seething lightly as I tried my damndest to hold back my anger. "I don't like fighting; I don't like seeing people get hurt. But your family near destroyed my sister. Something that is unforgiveable. And you should be aware that of both monsters and humans, many of them are not as kind as myself or my husband. You would do best to leave by the court's chosen date."

"We will begin on that shortly then, Angel." With a snap of her wrists, Jade lined up all the evidence she'd been given and summoned more needles to use to knock the men back out. They didn't even have a chance to react before their heads fell over and were once more in a daze. "I believe you are done here. You may leave with your husband and Dr. Chordata. Those opposing you are guilty and will face the charges I give out, and I will move them to my land effective immediately."

I was very thankful to Jade in those moments. I would need to make it up to her for the work that she put in for us. But first, I had a sister to help heal and children to take care of. They needed me more in those moments…

I really worried for Frisk…

Third Person Point of View:

"God damnit!"

Papers were hurled along with a laptop together in a pile. The table under it was held as well while the office was in turmoil.

Their practice was closed, their licenses revoked.

They had never been caught before, but it seemed a new eager doctor bit off more than he could chew.

They had been offered the chance of a lifetime to tend to that of Angel Terians, not only a house member, but wife of a monster. There was so much that could be learned of a child of theirs that grew inside her it was uncanny. And to learn that she had been pregnant with twins? Why, that was twice what they could learn as these new creatures made it to the surface world and 'joined' their society.

But said new doctor of his group was too eager to play with this information. He tried to be too rash, tried to convince the mother to be that she had lost her children without faking more evidence to prove those of medical and science studies beside them.

If he had taken more time, adhered to her what her wishes had been at the time... perhaps she would have come back, or stayed to listen.

But instead his little side business of gathering monster DNA to make a creature stronger than those of the houses was gone! House Terians became involved the second it was discovered that their well developed lie was uncovered through legal documents and the fact of Angel Terians' children surviving. They actually made it to a stage of growing like a normal child.

It was enticing to learn, but frustrating at how his hands were bound.

They lost such crucial information. Such rare and special genes that could have been learned.

"Excuse me, Dr. Baldeth?"

"What?!" The male raced around to look at the intruded to his recently taken domain to see a woman standing before him. Her figure was mostly covered so he was unable to get a good look at him. The cloak masked much as she approached the whirlwind that was what remained of the doctor.

"It would seem you're in need of some assistance, especially if you wish to finish that project of yours."

"You wouldn't say?!" The male barked back as he shoved over more tables and monitors. "I lost everything due to that stupid woman!"

"Well then... perhaps an agreement would be more... helpful?"

"... what in the world do you mean by that?" The doctor became rather hesitant at the words uttered, shielding himself backward from the woman. "Are you a spy sent to get me in more hot water with that atrocious family?!"

"Hardly. We're nothing of the sort." The woman could only be seen from under the cloak by glowing red eyes. "We want them taken down as badly as you do. So, I shall propose again. Shall we come to an agreement to help you?"

The doctor paused, running a hand through his wild coal colored hair that stuck to his skin. He was so stressed from it all that he was showing that stress through perspiration. He smelled, he was tired, his research was taken from him.

He didn't have a choice but to start over. But perhaps... it wouldn't be all that bad.

Witch's Note:

Uh… (I can't help but look over at my best friend and sister.) Mystic? I though you had this guy on lock down? I literally gave him to you like, ten chapters ago?!

Mystic Girl: What?! (She darts away, looking for the doctor that I'd signed over rights to a while ago. Upon inspecting the containment area for this man, noticing that he was no longer within the binds that once held him, she screeched loudly.) WHAT THE FUCK?! WHO LET HIM OUT?!

Me: Uh oh… that's not good… Uh… can you guys help with finding him?

Mystic Girl: (She screeches out while she goes on a mad hunt for that man.) ALL OF MY ARMY TO THE MEETING ROOM NOW! MYSTIC GIRL IS NOT HAPPY!

Me: Oh boy… welp, let's come back to that later. Mystic is gonna have her hands full so let's focus on the rest of the chapter besides that little piece!

Oh wow... what a chapter! In a dramatic fashion, Angel and Sans with the help of Alphys manage to put those horrible people in their place! Luke is being put away for at least twenty years, and his brother for at least two. Parents aren't welcome to the Terians lands until Luke is released, oh my! What a dramatic turn of events!

Granted... after all that's happened... Looks necessary to me. Oh! I can't forget!

(Turning to my best friend who was watching just a few feet away hungrily getting ready for her meeting with the others, I hurried over to my desk and grabbed a rather thick stack of paperwork which I passed over to her.)

Sorry for the wait Mystic, but here is your ever so prized documents and deeds to Luke's life! It took me a bit longer due to needing to finalize the paperwork also that my organization wasn't going to attempt to rehabilitate him, nor try anything else. I have the signatures from those of my group on here as well, which took time to gather. But anyways, here you go! He's all yours!

Mystic Girl: YES! (She snatches the papers from me, ensuring that all of them are together and in order before leaping backward from me.) We got the bastard! Let's get started! Chaos! Mystic Boy! I need you!

(She runs off then to meet up with her group to do as they wished to the evil teen. I waved her off, knowing it would be some time before I saw her again.)

Me: Welp, guess that just leaves those of us who didn't speed off with Mystic Girl! We also have a lot of work to do... poor Frisk is gonna be taking some serious time to recover after all of this. Look at the poor girl! (I can't help but wobble my lip looking at the poor teen.) It kills me, it really does. Anyway, back on topic, why don't I move onto reviews?

Thechaosmaster: My, oh my! Everyone is coming out with their darkest side over here! I love it so much! And Mystic is gonna need those dark thoughts when taking care of that lovely piece of crap she just took from me.

The unity is amazing! I love it so much that we were able to make a character that is so universally disliked (hated) by everyone that it's bringing everyone together to save their close friend and beloved character!

Is it bad that I kinda want to see how all of you describe what you want to do to Luke? I'm sure Mystic wouldn't be too opposed either!

Mystic Girl: (Peaking her head in my doorway while in the middle of her meeting.) They better! I wanna see what horrible things they will tell me about that bastard of a man!

Shadown8Phantom: It is really wonderful to start having Asriel back in the story. He took a backseat for so long not because I wanted to, but because Frisk had literally been taken away from her friends due to Luke messing with her mind and soul. For all those years, that was the reason for his lack of presence. I wanted it to be like a shock when he finally came back, and for Frisk to see how involved he actually was trying to be, but couldn't.

I hope this chapter also answered a lot of the questions you were wondering about when it came to Luke's family. Parents never around and an older brother who wasn't the best role model which helped mold Luke into who he was.

Oh boy, that's the end of this chapter, and now we have a lot of recovering to do. Lots of healing to do. Poor Frisk is going to be dealing with this for a long time. I imagine it's going to weigh on her soul for a while.

But we'll just have to wait and see! Love you all and see you next week!
