bopdog111: We're back here everyone. For one very important part.
Ulrich362: True, an extremely important part... for one of the main characters anyway.
bopdog111: For only Minako as Chara, Frisk, and Asriel will be at the Dreemurr house around that time.
Ulrich362: Exactly, but they will learn the repercussions of what happens to Minako.
bopdog111: Well let's see what's going on shall we?
Ulrich362: Sounds like a plan to me, enjoy the chapter.

4/9 (Thursday; Next Full Moon: Today)
It was after the time at Hagakure Ramen that all three walked back where Minako waved over to Junpei who waved back at the two girls with a grin before running off. Minako then turned over towards Chara. "So your off to where your siblings, and family are yourself?"
"Yeah, I am." Chara nodded. "Tell the others I'll be back tomorrow."
"Can I ask something before you go?" Minako asked her that Chara blinked but nodded. "Well what are your parents like?"
Chara flinched at that before frowning. "Horrible people, let's leave it at that."
"Oh I don't really mean your human ones... I mean the ones you have right now." Minako softly tells her what she really meant.
"Oh." Chara realized before smiling. "Mom's so kind... she actually wanted to be a teacher and she loves taking care of kids... she's an incredible person and cares about everyone human or monster. I love her so much. As for dad, he's a strong leader and incredibly kind to people."
Minako nodded over before then turning around taking some steps forward before saying to her. "I... have vague memories of my own parents... they died when I was young. As if now, I barely remember some things I used to do with them." She then turned around to face Chara. "So... don't let them go."
"Of course not." Chara answered hearing that before walking off.
After seeing her walking off Minako sighed walking into the dorm closing the door behind her, and nodded over to Mitsuru. "Evening Kirijo-senpai."
"Welcome back Arisato, it's late so you should probably head to bed." Mitsuru noted calmly. "I trust Dreemurr is heading to spend the night with her family as she mentioned before?"
"Yes, I just watched her head off." Minako answered before then walking upstairs to get some rest like Mitsuru recommended.
"Good night Takeba-kun." Minako smiled waving as she walked up.
As she did Yukari frowned.
"Senpai... are you sure it's right to spy on her like this?" she asked Mitsuru.
"I get how you feel Takeba, but we need to be certain if she has the potential." Mitsuru answered over to her. "Inform the chairman, and Akihiko we will be seeing her again."
"Akihiko-senpai said he's going to do more training tonight." Yukari pointed out. "But I'll let the chairman know. What about Chara though?"
"As she'll be away to her family around this time we can focus our efforts on Arisato." Mitsuru answered standing up. "If something does come up, we will warn her."
Yukari nodded only to sigh. "I hope she's alright."
Meanwhile in the Dreemurr Household...
"Mom, dad? I'm back." Chara called.
"In the kitchen Chara." Toriel called over to her.
"Good to see you too, Chara. I'm almost done, get started on homework, and I'll have it ready in a bit." Toriel smiled as Chara can see Frisk, and Asriel are doing homework themselves while they wait for dinner to finish.
She nodded going to join her brothers as she took out her homework.
"How was school Chara?" Frisk smiled to her as she sat down which turned his focus away from homework for a bit.
"It was ok... nothing special." Chara shrugged.
"Well Frisk said that Mr. Shirato gave him some complex lessons."
"Well not really all that complex. I just understand it better then everyone else." Frisk admitted over then what Asriel just said. "He doesn't treat me any different so everyone in class got the same things but I just understand it better."
"That sounds like you Frisk." Chara smiled softly before sighing. "I don't trust them."
"Your dorm mates?" Asriel asked her.
"Yeah... especially after what happened with you Frisk." Chara admitted turning to him. "They're keeping secrets."
Frisk looked down hearing that. "Yeah... they wanted to know about if I was related with mom... why would they? Do they know her?"
"I don't know, but I'm half tempted to find out when I head back tomorrow." Chara admitted before sighing. "Hopefully it's nothing more than the family name but... you never know."
"Well right now it's nothing to worry about. Let's just enjoy the time we have now." Toriel smiled with the pie finished readying it up.
"'Time we have now'." Frisk repeated over before he sighed.
"Frisk, is something wrong?" Asriel asked hearing that. "Are you ok?"
"I was just... thinking that me, and Ken need to stick together." Frisk admitted over to him. "We're trying to fix each other but... here I am like this while he's doing what he's doing alone..."
"Frisk, do you know where he is right now?" Chara asked. "He seemed... kind of angry, maybe it would be a good idea to try and meet him at the shrine?"
"Well... he still had thoughts of finding who it was that attacked that night." Frisk admitted over to her. "I... don't know where he is now. But I have some thoughts, there are some places me, and him use to be in together."
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow Frisk." Asriel offered. "If we stay together we'll be able to find him, I'm sure of it."
"You... would do that Azzy?" Frisk turned to him hearing that.
"Of course." he nodded.
Frisk stared before smiling over to him. "Thank you Asriel." He then turned seeing Toriel plating some pie slices before walking, and placing them down for the three to eat.
"I thought some pie might help you three focus." Toriel smiled.
"Thanks mom." all three spoke over with smiles at her.
She smiled at that. "If you need any help, feel free to ask."
They nodded before she walked to give them some time as they did there homework. After that, and a plan in place for tomorrow the three wished each other good night alongside there parents, and head up to there room. They all settle to bed, and fallen asleep quickly but unaware to them the moment the clock struck Midnight things happen that would change to Chara's dormmates nearby.
Tick..
Tick...
Tick...
A blue clock turned green when it struck midnight, and broke apart.
Mitsuru and Yukari were both in the observation room again where they saw Minako was asleep in her bed just as before not changed like they suspected.
"...How is she?" Ikutsuki inquired walking over to them.
"... The same as last night." Mitsuru answered.
Ikutsuki sat down hearing that, "Hmm... very interesting. Even those who have the potential tend to be unstable at first..." He raise some fingers while listing the effects, "Memory loss... disorientation..." The girls turned to him as he smiled, "But, this subject is rather unique. She haven't exhibited any of the common symptoms."
"But... we're treating her like a guinea pig." Yukari looked down.
"I understand your concern, but it's imperative that we recruit new members." Ikutsuki assured her with a smile. "I heard she's your classmate... Wouldn't you be more comfortable working with someone from the same grade?"
Yukari shrugged while turning to him. "Yeah, I guess. But, still..."
"And there's still Chara to consider." Ikutsuki adding looking at Chara's room but frowns seeing she isn't there. "Where is she?"
"She's spending the night with her family, she spoke with us about it already and focusing on Arisato on her own for now is for the best." Mitsuru noted. "If she has the potential we can invite her to join and then shift our focus to Dreemurr."
Ikutsuki nodded over. "I see... and there is still the matter of the monsters that can assist when it-" Suddenly a alarm ring out that everyone grew alarmed at hearing before they started hearing a voice.
"Hey... is anyone there!?" they hear Akihiko's voice from the console, and from the sound of things it sounded like he was in pain.
"Akihiko, what's going on?" Mitsuru questioned hearing that.
"You guys better get ready, this thing is huge and it's chasing me." Akihito's voice told them. "I'm nearly back, just wanted to give you a head's up."
Hearing that Mitsuru, Yukari, and Ikutsuki looked shocked while Yukari looks horrified. "Wait... is he saying, what I think he's saying? He's bringing the Shadow here!?" Suddenly it seemed like Chara not being at the dorm tonight is a good thing.
Standing up Mitsuru turned to Ikutsuki to prepare for the battle at hand. "Mr. Chairman! We need to defend ourselves! We must suspend the operation, and prepare for battle!"
"...R-Right! Please be careful!"
They all ran downstairs hearing the door opening, and closing arriving to see Akihiko stumbling against the door holding his side, and collapsing in pain while Mitsuru ran over. "Akihiko!" Yukari knelled down carefully examining which he flinched away with a yelp that she flinched over.
"Senpai!?"
Akihiko winced over before he then grinned over. "I'm alright... though get ready, it's a big one alright any second now..."
"This isn't the time for jokes!" Mitsuru chastised for trying to humor the tension despite the seriousness of what's going on.
"Is it one of them?"
"Yeah, it is." Akihiko confirmed looking up. "But it isn't a normal one."
As he said that the entire dorm shook causing Yukari to jump in shock. "What was that, you've gotta be kidding me!" The Shadow appears not only larger but stronger then what they normally fight,
"Mr. Chairman, we need you to go to the command room and keep an eye on everything!" Mitsuru told Ikutsuki who nodded before running off. "Takeba, go and wake her up and escape through the back!"
"Huh, but what about the two of you?" Yukari questioned worried over
"We'll have to stop it." Mitsuru stated simply. "Akihiko, it followed you here so you're going to have to help fight it."
Akihiko glared but has a big grin. "Like I had a choice!" Turning to Yukari he yelled when he sees she isn't moving. "What are you waiting for, Yukari!? Go!"
"I-I'm going!" Yukari nodded before running off to get Minako to safely.
Meanwhile...
Minako was sleeping peacefully until the loud crash happened that made her shoot up sitting on her bed groggy but startled. "H-Huh... what?" Getting up off her bed she yawned with her hair down, and in her Rainbow Dash PJs really tired and doesn't notice or not going to ask about the green hue. "What's making all that racket?" She walked to the door only to hear a frantic knocking at her door. "Who is it?"
"Get up!" Yukari's voice cried. "Sorry but I'm coming in!" She slammed the door open only to see Minako who blinked over confused. "There's no time to explain, but we need to leave right now!"
"Huh, wait what's happening?" Minako asked still confused from the crash.
"Come on, we'll find the first floor get out through the back door!" Yukari mentioned only to pause. "Oh... actually just in case hold onto this." She gave a naginata to Minako as she blinked taking the weapon.
Deciding to indeed question this later, Minako ran together with Yukari as they ran down to the back door of the dorm arriving over while Yukari sighed in relief over before a beeping got her attention that she answered her transmitter. "Takeba, do you read!?"
"Yes, Mitsuru, she's with me."
"You need to move, the Shadow that we're fighting isn't the one Akihiko saw!" Mitsuru yelled out to get them out while Yukari widen her eyes horrified. "There's too many to take on, you need to move!"
Suddenly the door was banged that they flinched over before Minako asked Yukari nervously. "Is it... a bad idea to ask what's going on right now?" She is SO confused what is happening, and figured it best to run first, and ask questions later.
"There's no time, come on we're heading upstairs." Yukari told her as she grabbed her wrist and they ran up tp the dorm roof.
Minako yelled as they ran upstairs before they heard a crash, and something slushing. Not speaking they ran together eventually managing to barge through the roof Yukari closed the door, and locked it. Minako shivered rubbing her arms from the night air, and looked freezing seeing the giant green Full Moon. "What the heck...?" She had seen something like this before but honestly thought she was too tired she was seeing things. As from what she sees with Yukari, it was clearly no dream.
"Okay we should be safe-"
Suddenly they hear something like stabbing, and climbing as they looked around startled before Minako asked Yukari. "I'm... not the only one hearing that am I?" They slowly turned over to the front as something began to rose up. Something blue... Eventually it was revealed as a blue mask held by a black sludge hand... before it brandished lots of blades it's holding as a mass of hands.
"What... what is that!? Another monster that came from Mt. Ebott!?" Minako was of course startled, and surprised by this, and her first thoughts think it's one of the monsters from Mt. Ebott.
"That's one of the monsters that attacked us, it's a Shadow." Yukari explained as the creature began to approach them while she drew her gun... only to point it at her own head while trembling though before her shaking hand could pull the trigger one of the creature's arms smacked her away her gun landed at Minako's feet.
"Yukari!" Minako yelled seeing this at first startled from seeing her aiming the gun at herself from believing it wasn't a real gun. Then noticing the pistol on the ground she slowly picked it up, and stared over at the Shadow. For a brief moment she can see the boy from before smiling over towards her.
"Go on..."
Meanwhile...
In the computer room Ikutsuki, Akihiko, and Mitsuru were looking over the cameras for the two's location. Finding them on the rooftop the two seniors nodded at each other preparing to move out only for Ikutsuki to raise a hand, "Wait!" They looked back over confused.
Back at the roof...
Minako looked over at the Shadow as it squired around readying to attack before after some instinct she placed the pistol to her head reciting a word slowly. "Per...so... na..."
She pulled the trigger as a blue flash of light enveloped her where blue like fragments exited the gun while they began to take shape.
"It's as we thought." Was the voice of Mitsuru as they witnessed this, and something forming.
"I am thou, thou art I... From the sea of thine soul, I commenth, I am Orpheus master of strings..."
It was a female doll like figure with long orange hair, and a yellow body having a harp on her back readying above.
(Cue Theme: Unavoidable Battle)
Minako grinned over at the Shadow who turned over towards her while Yukari looked shocked seeing the monster above her. Suddenly assaulted with pain Minako gasped before holding her head screaming loud as tears ran down her eyes just as the monster above screeched as it spasmed before something split it apart from within revealing a new monster in it's place.
It had a sliver helmet on with drilled eye holes, and a black body, and having chains connecting what looked like coffins together as a cape.
Yukari, Akihiko, Mitsuru, Ikutsuki, and the Shadow looked at the new creature in shock before the creature roared and drew a blade, slashing some of the Shadow's arms before grabbing another one and with a second slash severing its mask in two along with cutting off another arm that fell to the ground writhing around causing Yukari to shudder in fear as the creature crushed the arm it had been holding before Minako seemed to calm down and the creature returned to its original form as though nothing had happened to it before.
She looked up towards it before it vanished over while Minako stared. Turning over she sees some smaller sludges are forming over that she grunted over despite feeling weakened enough as is. She turned over to Yukari. "Yukari-kun?" She turned to her as she said. "I'll protect you now." She readied her naganita charging in.
(Battle Theme: Mass Destruction)
"Hiyaaaa!" Minako yelled swinging it down which a blob dodged before one charge a fire attack that she dodged over gracefully. "Gonna have to do better then that!" She swing catching it with the blade of the naganita before she got tackled by one dropping her to the ground. She glared before moving flipping herself up by placing her hands on the ground, and flipped back up. "Okay you got me there, but how about this!" She readied the gun readying it as before. "Persona!" She pressed the trigger as the creature Orpheus rose up slamming down her harp that destroyed one blob as the other charged in landing a fire attack at her which singed her a bit, and damaged her PJs.
"You ruined my Pajamas..." she spoke murderously to the Shadow who despite it's lack of expression suddenly looks intimidated. "This was my favorite set of them, now your dead!" She readied before calling over. "Orpheus come!" She fired as Orpheus appeared as they charged over where Orpheus gave her a boost with her harp, and she yelled out slashing down while Orpheus generated attacks over at the blob destroying it without mercy.
She sighed exhausted over while her monster vanished turning to Yukari trying to stay awake while the girl stared stunned from what she just witnessed. "Yukari-... kun... are you... o... kay...?" After taking a step forward her mind slipped off where she collapsed down on her front unconscious.
Yukari's eyes widened seeing that as she got up and ran over Minako. "Hey, are you alright? Hey can you hear me, say something!"
As she said that Mitsuru and Akihiko ran up to the roof.
(Cue Theme: Aria of the Soul)
Minako blinked finding herself back in the Velvet Room with Igor.
"Welcome back to the Velvet Room." Igor smiled kindly towards her.
"Oh... my head..." Minako rubbed her head feeling aching from that monster tearing apart Orpheus from the inside like that. "Can someone tell me what just happened? I think my head's going to explode unless I know what's going on."
"It seems you lost consciousness after awakening to your power." Igor explained to her. "I see Orpheus was the one who answered your call, that power is known as Persona. It is a manifestation of your psyche."
"Persona? My Psyche, what are you talking about?" Minako blinked asking him in confusion.
"A Persona is an aspect of your personality that surfaces when you react to external stimuli." Igor explained. "You can think of it like a mask that protects you from life's many hardships."
"So... Orpheus is kind of like a mask?" Minako summarized.
"Precisely, when you use your Persona ability you must draw upon your own inner strength." Igor confirmed. "That inner strength grows as you form new bonds with others, as you develop your Social Links. Now, I shouldn't keep you when next we meet it will be of your own accord."
Minako stared before slowly nodding as the room turned black around them.
The next day...
4/10 (Friday; Next Full Moon: 29)
Chara sighed exiting the school after a long day of class. After last night, they went to school like normal, and Chara haven't seen Minako, or her other dormmates so she thought that they head to class early without her, which was fine. Less interaction with humans that way. But after exiting the school she looked around not seeing her dormmates. She knows Asriel, and Frisk are looking for Ken today so she can't expect them but she often sees Minako being chatters deep with someone outside for her.
Frowning she decided to head to the shrine and meet up with Koromaru again only to notice Yukari. "Huh, senpai?"
"Huh?" Yukari turned over before raising up. "Oh Chara! Are you doing okay today?"
"I'm fine... but where's Minako-senpai?" Chara questioned. "I didn't see her at all today."
"Oh Minako..." looking guilty Yukari looked down. "She's... unconscious right now."
"Unconscious?" Chara asked in shock. "What do you mean, what happened last night?"
"Well... without going into much detail she saved my life, and collapsed." Yukari laid out a version that Mitsuru told her to tell if anyone asked about Minako which is the truth without revealing about the Shadows, or anything else they don't need to know. "It been last night since it happened."
Chara frowned suspiciously but slowly nodded. She heard a whimper, and felt something brush her leg that she looked seeing Koromaru whimpering as if sensing something is wrong. Kneeling down she gently pet him. "It's ok boy, don't worry... someone I know just isn't feeling well but she'll be alright."
She gently scratched behind Koromaru's ear and rubbed his belly. Koromaru barked whining affectionately towards her. Then Yukari blinked looking around, and turned to Chara. "Actually where is your brother, and sister? I usually see you three together after school."
"They had to do something." Chara answered quickly.
Yukari nodded figuring it's none of her business. "Well, it's good to see you again Chara... was your family stay last night good?"
"Yeah, it was." Chara nodded smiling and rubbing Koromaru's head before getting up. "I'll see you tomorrow boy, maybe I'll even have a small treat."
She then sighed turning to Yukari. "I'll see you back at the dorm?"
"Yeah see you soon." Yukari waved before they walked there separate ways.
Meanwhile...
"Okay... this must be someplace he stops at this time of day." Frisk admitted as he, and Asriel entered a small place of eatery.
"Alright, do you see him Frisk?" Asriel asked looking around.
Frisk looked around trying to find Ken among the crowd. He is worried that he might miss Ken in all of the spots there looking for him at, and hopes this is where he is at so that they can make up for loss time, and for him to meet the family Frisk had made. Thankfully Frisk spots a area of brown hair among the crowd which he widen his eyes heading over.
Seeing that Asriel followed his adoptive brother. Soon Frisk reached over where he see the hair seeing a lone boy eating by himself that he smiled. "Ken!" He quickly headed over.
Ken blinked before looking over. "Frisk, what are you doing here?"
"Looking for you. I figured by going some of the spots we go to together, I'd be able to find you at." Frisk smiled over to him.
"I'm just getting something to eat." Ken sighed.
"Oh, I got someone to introduce you too." Frisk turned over gesturing Asriel to come over.
Ken blinked over which Frisk explained to him with a smile. "When I fell to Mt. Ebott, I had later found a new family. One that both me, and you can be a part at. Nothing can replace mom but there amazing. Asriel, alongside a new sister of ours are great people."
"I'm sure mom, dad, and Chara will be more than happy to let you stay with us." Asriel added. "If you want."
Ken stared over before he then stood up offering a hand to Asriel. "Has Frisk been alright with you all?"
"Yeah, actually... he changed our lives in ways we couldn't have ever imagined." Asriel admitted while he softly shake Ken's hand.
"I'm sure you have a lot to talk about..."
"Ken's younger but he's mature, and sharp for his age." Frisk explained to Asriel with a smile over.
"Of course, I've had to take care of myself for a while and..." he started before his eyes lit up as a theme song started to play. "Oh man, a new Featherman episode? Or... I mean I heard from my classmates it's supposed to be pretty popular."
"Oh Featherman." Frisk chuckled having heard of this series during the 2 years they were separated. "Yeah pretty cool show seeing teenagers battling monsters, and riding giant robots also."
"Yeah, and apparently there's going to be a big twist later this year, the rumor is that... Oh... well I'm sure some people would be interested, I'm not into things like that." Ken mentioned taking a sip of his drink only to shudder.
"Really? It sounded like your into it." Frisk admitted with a tease that Ken blushed over before his older brother just smiled. "There's nothing wrong with acting like a kid, Ken. You may know a lot, and understand things like an adult but your still over 10 years old so of course you would still be like a kid, and honestly... I wish it's something you do more often."
"I can't waste my time on that, I need to find mom's murderer." Ken frowned.
Frisk frowned over before he sighed over. "I know that..." He then sat beside Ken. "But Ken... I worry over you, and it's my job too. We don't know exactly what happened, who that was, or what that monster was about that attacked that night... but Ken, you don't have the carry the burden by yourself."
"Frisk's right, maybe we can help somehow." Asriel offered.
"..." Ken still looked down not saying anything.
Hearing a beeping Frisk checked his phone seeing a text from Chara asking if the two had found Ken. He softly smiled before then turned over to Ken. "Ken?" He turned over as he asked. "Do you have a little time after your done with your meal?"
"Huh, I think so why?" he asked.
"Well, can you come with me, and Asriel?" Frisk asked him with a smile. "I want you to meet everyone else."
Ken looked but nodded taking another sip and shuddering. Frisk seeing he shudders with what he drinks frowns. "Is that milk Ken?" He knows that Ken really dislikes milk but forces himself to drink it as he thinks he gets taller from it and knows he is lactose intolerant.
"No, not out like this... I got some coffee." Ken answered. "It's bitter."
Frisk blinked over from that. "Coffee? Man haven't had a mug in so long..." His mother disliked her sons having coffee but he often sneaks himself a mug when she isn't looking. But man the adrenaline he gets after having a mug is so strong, he can't control himself... it was a phase he grew out of as he haven't had one after the incident a few years ago. "Well it's suppose to be bitter as it's often a 'pick-me-up' for mornings, and you don't like milk so creamer isn't an option for it. ...So that's Black?"
"Yeah." Ken shuddered after taking a sip. "I guess... after I eat I'll go with you?"
Frisk nodded from that before he, and Asriel decided to give Ken a little privacy to let him eat in peace while they get some sweets to wait.
A few minutes later...
Frisk had texted Chara to wait outside the train station as he said that he, and Asriel found Ken, and are bringing him over for her to meet just waiting before checking her phone seeing it's passed 5 minutes. Soon she notices Frisk, and Asriel heading over to where she is with someone beside them.
Chara blinked seeing him. "Huh, who's this Frisk?"
"Chara." Frisk smiled placing an arm around Ken's shoulder. "This is my younger brother Ken. Ken this is my- uh, OUR new sister." He looked over to Ken smiling only to blink seeing his brother's expression. "Huh?" Ken was staring at Chara shocked while said girl blinked over as in Ken's head he felt his heart racing, and a slight blush never seeing a girl like her before. Suddenly his stare was broken when he hears snapping fingers blinking seeing Frisk snapping his fingers in his face. "Hey, earth to Ken! You alright there bro?"
"Huh, oh... yeah I'm fine." Ken nodded turning to Chara. "It's nice to met you."
"Same." Chara answered though Frisk could tell she was suspicious of Ken.
"Don't worry Chara, Ken's a cool dude. He just... never met any girls." Frisk admitted to her with a shrug smiling over that Ken never really had met any female friends, and Chara is his first time meeting one. "So you can forgive him, and that he didn't mean any offense."
"It's not that... he's human." Chara frowned to Ken's confusion before she sighed. "Oh, apparently something happened and one of my dorm mates was injured."
"Oh? Are they alright?" Asriel asked concerned over.
"I don't know." Chara admitted.
"Well hopefully they get better." Frisk admitted as they board the train over before he admitted to Ken sitting beside him. "Sorry about Chara she's... not trusting around humans. She's a good person though, just give her some time Ken."
"Did something happen to her?" Ken asked.
"Well... all she told us is that she hates humans." Frisk admitted over. "I didn't ask, and don't want to."
Ken frowned. "But you're an exception?"
"Well... if you remember about Mt. Ebott, I discussed I had proved to her I'm not like them..." Frisk answered before proceeding to explain to him about all he had done in Mt. Ebott starting with the story of Chara falling to Mt. Ebott, being discovered by Asriel, and both of them died from a plan to destroy the barrier gone wrong. Then the other children came, and lost there lives until Frisk came, and after a scuffle with Flowey changed things around the Underground reaching to the end of the Barrier with Asgore where Flowey absorbed the SOULs, and the Monsters to regain his form as Asriel, and fought Frisk but in a long intense battle Frisk prevailed, and rescued everyone even Asriel where he sacrificed the ability to SAVE, LOAD, and RESET to prevent Asriel from turning back to Flowey which carried the effect of reviving Chara as well who had been his guide through the Underground before also explaining what happened after he woken up.
"...Then once Alphys told us what we need to do to be more careful for our new drawbacks, or abilities we started training with Undyne, or Goat Mom, for 2 years, and then Chara got her recommended student offer approved allowing us to come here, and the rest is history." Frisk finished the story as they stopped in front of the Dreemurr household.
Ken's eyes widened in shock hearing all of that. "That... I had no idea you did all of that."
Frisk rubbed his head smiling over. "Started just... to get away from the guilt of letting you, and mom down... but now I have Chara, Asriel, and all of the monsters as my new family, and friends... but it won't be complete without you Ken. I always worried if your alright while I was away but now... we can make up for that." He looked at the house having Ken look over. "This is where we are living now, and they are inside. Chara lives in the High School Dorm so this is where we part ways with her for now." He turned over towards Chara smiling. "Have a good day Chara, and please tell your dormmate I wish them luck... and please don't be too hard on them." He still remembers that Chara said she'll talk with her dormmates after school today about what they know of Frisk, and his biological family, and wants her to go easy on them.
Ken frowned. "I'll meet them but… I need some time."
"Ken..." Frisk frowned over to his brother figuring this be the best time for Ken to meet the monsters.
Ken turned to Frisk. "I meant to move in."
Frisk rubbed his head over from it. "So... are you ready to meet them?"
"Yeah." Ken nodded.
After waving bye to Chara they entered the Dreemurr Household, and Frisk called. "Goat Mom, Goat Dad, guys, me, and Asriel brought someone for you all to meet!"
"We're all in here!" Toriel's voice responded in the living room.
Frisk looked over to Ken. "Now Ken before you meet them, there is some things you need to know."
"What do you mean?" Ken asked curiously hearing that.
"Well one of them loves some jokes, and puns so don't be offended by something he tries, he likes being it alongside a lazybones." Frisk spoken over to him. "One also likes to be tough, and also one is a spaghettitore in his own words. One is a real robot, and one has low self-esteem so please be nice to her. And both Goat-Mom, and Goat-Dad... she's almost like mom but not the same, and Goat-Dad is geninue about his feelings to his family despite what he tried doing so... don't do anything that can upset him." Ken can see how serious is brother is saying this so Ken would know how important this is.
"I understand." Ken nodded though he looked a bit intimidated.
Frisk at that takes a breath, and smiled before he, Ken, and Asriel walked in the living room where Ken can see Toriel, and Asgore on a couch while Undyne, Papyrus, and Alphys are standing up straight while Sans is napping on a recliner, and Mettaton had turned over having on a maid apron, and was wiping the windows as he turned to see Ken.
Ken's eyes widened in disbelief seeing them. "Hearing it is one thing, but seeing it... it's almost too much to believe."
Toriel smiled standing up, and walked over. "So your Ken? Frisk had talked about you a lot. It's nice to finally meet you..." She bowed politely to him. "I'm Toriel, and I hope we can get along well like your brother did. I'm not your mother but I hope I can do my best for you."
"Oh, I hope so to miss." Ken nodded bowing back. "I really appreciate you helping my brother for so long."
"He always talks about you. I'm glad to meet Frisk's brother." Asgore walked up smiling to Ken before bowing over. "I'm Asgore, Toriel's husband, and Asriel's father. I hope that we can get along well."
"Thank you." Ken nodded.
"I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS HUMAN KEN!" Papyrus grinned over as he bowed over with sunglasses on. "YOUR BROTHER IS ABOUT AS GREAT AS I AM, SO I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE IF YOUR JUST AS GREAT IF NOT MORE! I CAN ALSO MAKE SOME SPAGHETTI WHENEVER YOU WANT! NYEHEHEHE!"
"Oh... um thank you." Ken admitted awkwardly. "I just ate though."
"Paps is always energetic." Undyne walked over with a chuckle over. "Sup? Name's Undyne, and I think the punk is one of the coolest dudes I met. He always told us your amazing yourself, and I am looking forward for us to be best buds like he is!"
Ken nodded. "Right."
"Oh um... hi." Alphys spoken up herself waving shyly. "I'm uh, Alphys... I was the Royal Scientist but uh... now I help Frisk with whatever he needs... I be honored if we can be friends."
"I think we can be, it's nice to meet you... all of you." Ken mentioned.
"Such as it's nice to meet you darling." Mettaton wheeled over shaking Ken's hand softly. "I am Mettaton, the idol of the Underground, and who is well known on Television as the TV star! It's fine if you haven't heard of me, I'm trying to make my big break here on the surface for a while actually."
"Well... good luck." Ken nodded before turning to Frisk. "I wish I could stay but I need to head back to do some homework... I'll see you later Frisk."
"Hold on Ken there's one more person you haven't met yet." Frisk told him however with a smile.
"Huh, who?" he asked him.
"Behind you." Frisk smiled over looking passed him.
"heh, here there kiddo. don't you know it's polite to say hi, and shake one's hand when introducing yourself?" a voice spoke as Ken slowly turned over seeing Sans behind him with a grin, and a hand outstretched.
"Oh... sorry." Ken apologized taking his hand only for a loud farting sound to echo making him gasp.
Almost immediately everyone chuckled over as Sans grinned revealing a small whoopie cushion. "heh, the old whoopie-cushion in the hand trick, always funny." He chuckled pocketing it before saying to Ken. "anyway names Sans, Sans the Skeleton, your bro's a cool dude, and all, i've tickled his funnybone sometimes, and even done what I done to you just now. i hope we can make some good jokes together like me, and him do."
"I'll... think about it." Ken frowned.
"okay... letter then kiddo gotta go to Grillby's want anything?" To Ken's shock Sans was there one second... the next he wasn't.
"Huh, what?" Ken banked seeing that. "How did he do that?"
"Ken, I stopped asking that question a few years ago." Frisk sighed with a smile over. "Trust me Sans is something else... I just can't understand him but I do know he's a funny guy, and is a friend. Better not make an enemy out of him.
"Right... well it was a pleasure to meet you all but I should get going." Ken mentioned. "Thank you again for taking care of Frisk."
"We hope we have you here again, and maybe live here." Toriel said with a bow, and a smile. "Oh do you want me to give you a slice of pie before you go?"
"No thank you miss, I'm ok." Ken nodded walking off.
"Ken?" Frisk started as Ken turned over. Then Frisk smiled hugging Ken close to him as his brother softly hugged back. "Thank you..."
Ken hugged Frisk closer. "No, thank you... and, I'm sorry."
With that he left. Frisk stared before he then looked down. "Now he's met you all... and nothing bad happened."
"Of course, nothing bad will happen Frisk." Toriel reassured him with a hug.
Frisk hugged her back before he then said. "Well... I hope that he can... be here, and live with us soon."
"I hope." Asriel agreed.
Meanwhile at the dorm...
Chara entered the dorm as Mitsuru looked over hearing her. "Ah Dreemurr, I am glad you made it back safely." Akihiko was with her to try resting from what happened last night. "I'm sure Takeba already told you about Arisato?"
"She did." Chara nodded. "What happened exactly?"
"She had explained it over. She collapsed from helping Takeba out of a sticky situation." Mitsuru answered over to her. "Arisato is at my family's clinic being looked over. They told us, she was exhausted, and will wake up sometime later in the week."
"I know that, what situation?" Chara questioned with an accusatory glare at Mitsuru.
"You are suspecting we have something to do with it." Mitsuru stern her gaze over knowing that Chara is onto them.
Chara only frowned before walking up to her room. They watched over before Akihiko frowned over. "I don't like this Mitsuru... it looks like she suspects that we're not completely telling the truth."
"Right now we can't say anything unless the Chairman approves or she finds out." Mitsuru spoken over to him. "Don't worry about it right now, you focus on resting, and recovering from last night."
"I know." Akihiko frowned before sighing. "Whatever that was last night, the Shadow and her power... she'd be an invaluable ally, but what about Chara herself?"
"I'm not sure. We don't know if she has the potential." Mitsuru admitted over to him.
"So she could just be like Ikutsuki-san then." Akihiko frowned. "Still, while she's in the hospital we need to keep an eye on Chara. The more allies we have the better."
Mitsuru nodded before looking back where Chara was. As Chara is walking to her room Yukari opened her room door. "Chara?"
"Yeah, what is it?" Chara asked quickly.
"Sorry for pulling you but... I need someone to talk to right now." Yukari apologized before opening the door wider. "You got a minute?"
Chara sighed. "Fine."
She walked where she entered Yukari's room as she closed the door, and sat down on her bed looking at Chara. "Well Chara... this won't take long just... something I need to ask."
"What is it?" Chara frowned.
"Well... how would you feel if you stood there while someone you care about is fighting for you, and you just... did nothing but stare?" Yukari asked her looking guilty over that took Chara by surprise. "When it happened that Minako collapsed... I didn't do anything while she was fighting... nothing but staring... how would you feel if... something like that happens to you?" She looked to Chara for her honest opinion about it.
"I'd hate myself forever." Chara answered without a second thought. "And I still do."
"It happened for you?" Yukari asked hearing that with a blink.
"Yeah, it did." Chara nodded.
"Oh... so... to deal with the fear of... handling yourself when it happens... how do you deal with it?" Yukari then asked another question to her as she experienced it, wants to know if Chara has any advice on how it control the fear that took her that night.
"I didn't… I watched him die and didn't… couldn't do anything." Chara frowned as she left the room.
Yukari widen her eyes hearing that but didn't stop Chara as she left. That made her think about it a lot as she sat deep in thought from what she heard. Could this be one of the reasons why Chara doesn't like humans? Cause she sat, and watched someone she cared about died? Well it didn't happen to Minako but... if something else came up, and Yukari just sat there her blood would be on her hands. With that thought she takes a breath, and walked out of the room downstairs where Mitsuru, and Akihiko is. "Mitsuru-senpai?"
"Hm? What is it Takeba?"
"I... if it's alright when the Dark Hour comes tonight... I want us to train together." Yukari requested over that surprised the two. "I didn't do anything when Minako was fighting, and saved my life... I want to repay her by having myself be able to fight as well without... the thought of my Evoker actually doing that to me..." She looked at her hand clenching it before looking at Mitsuru determined. "So please Mitsuru-senpai... tonight let's train together to change that."
"Unfortunately we won't be doing that tonight. We need to determine if Dreemurr has the potential." Mitsuru stated calmly.
"I can watch her while you two do it." Akihiko offered over not seeing a reason they can't as long as he can keep watch. "I can inform you two if anything happens. I needed to stay here so it makes sense if I watch over her if she has the potential while you two train off. And with me benched for now, you girls are on your own until later."
Mitsuru sighed. "Tomorrow."
"Thank you." Yukari bowed before turning, and heading upstairs to sleep for the night.
