After the explanation between all the parties, Sans tapped his foot in annoyance: "So let me get this straight. Is our story a game to you people? Or is it based on some truth?"

Iffy adds, "Blanc. Tell me, what is this Undertale?"

Blanc sighs and looks down. "Well, figure you and Compa would not know because Untertale is not a fighting game, or a racing game, or a strategy game, it is a simple RPG game about choices, and the game remembers."

Compa: blinked, "but we climbed a mountain and ended up here how are we in a game."

Blanc went quiet and looked away, "The game Undertale in our world was based on a very very old legend…. Even before our reign." Blanc looks out the window and tells a lie to Compa and Iffy, "I don't know what happens at the end of the game, since I have not beaten it yet."

Chara's spirit takes note of this and speaks within Iffy mind, "She is hiding something, bet you can see it too."

Iffy nods acknowledging Chara, "I see, so are you going to tell us more, or are you going to be cryptic about it."

"It's better if you slowly find out the truth," Blanc said which immediately got both Sans and Frisk's attention. Iffy gets impatient and rolls her eyes as she just storms to the bathroom, Compa goes to check on Iffy. When the two left Blanc turns towards Frisk and Sans trying her best to not cry or even get angry, "I just don't want to believe the legends I just want to believe this is just a dream and I got sucked into the game. Because if this is real, then that means your people have been down here for a very long time, cramped, depressed, starved of light. It is not right I tell you. You people didn't deserve this treatment." Blanc looks down at the floor, "Makes me wish that I had shared the game story with the others, but they all had no interest in it."

Frisk and Sans looked at each other and then at Blanc. Sans spoke first, "So, this is quite an existential crisis you having? Sheesh talking about shattering your worldview. I heard breaking mirrors was bad luck but breaking the mirror of your worldview," Sans shrugs, "Seems like it ain't all cracked up to be! Hehehehe!"

"Screw you!" Blanc replied.

Iffy comes out of the bathroom with a bloody hand, and Compa frantically says, "Iffy you should not punch mirrors." Iffy says nothing and just sits down on a chair fuming and closing her eyes, "Oh no, she is very mad."

Sans chuckled, "Speaking of broken mirrors."

Frisk sighs, "There goes another mirror."

Sans sighs, "Well to make matters worse seems like your world up above is dealing with a very dangerous monster known as W D Gaster, there is not much I can tell you about him but what I can say is this. He is a monster among monsters, before frisk came, he fell into the core, or well was pushed in to stop his maddening science experiments."

Frisk ponders, "I wonder if people in this… Gamindustri were affected by the resets."

Blanc shakes her head no, "Neptune and Nepgear would have noticed it since they can manipulate saves, I am one of the two CPU's are just aware of them, but there was only one reset after that…. Ending."

Sans raised an eye socket, "huh, interesting."

Iffy huffs with her eyes closed, "Another ending in Gamindustri, what are you talking about?"

Blanc sighs, "Best you don't know."

Frisk chimes in the conversation, "Well let me tell you the best way to do this to you girls. In order to escape and not get possessed by Chara you must go through the underground without killing anyone."

Iffy throws her hands in the air as she slowly opens her eyes, "Oh wonderful! How in the hell do we spare a freaking psychotic flower that tried killing us as soon as we met him, and now he is stalking us like some crazed fan that wants to kill us. Great this will not become a problem later on."

"Iffy calm down." Compa pleaded.

"I AM CALM!" Iffy shouted.

San shrugs, "could just get weed remover, that will solve all your problems."

Iffy grunts, "Say would anybody know how to handle a ghost with severe anger issues and a superiority complex."

Chara's anger grew knowing Iffy had little regard for revealing her involvement and spoke in her mind, "So you choose to suffer"

Frisk facepalm, "Chara involved figures."

Blanc scratches her head, "I only played the demo and I have gotten most of my information with walkthroughs. Kind of want to play the game though."

Iffy slumps in the chair exhausted from being so angry and frustrated, "Blanc you would not happen to know how we get the best ending right?" Blanc's response was a shrug, "Great even the fangirl doesn't know."

Blanc spoke, "Look in normal circumstances I would know, but in this situation, I really don't know because the game didn't account for us, and Frisk playing the NPC part."

Frisk pouts, "Rude I am not an NPC."

Compa stands up, "We will figure it out! I believe in us."

Iffy sighs, "Sure I guess."

Blanc stands up and summons her axe, "Welp no use of sitting around here doing nothing. Let us just get this shit over with."

Frisk begged Blanc with puppy dog eyes. "I surely hope you are not planning on using that."

Blanc winces seeing Frisk's adorable look, "Oh no, don't give me the puppy dog eyes." Blanc stares at Frisk for a while until she caves in saying, "Fine I will "try" not to hurt anyone"

Compa giggles, "Blanc grouchy cause she stuck in White Heart form"

Sans shrugs, "Alright, guess I get back to work." He walks through the door of his room.

Frisk heads for the door, "Hey Blanc was it, let me get you some supplies for the road"

Compa jumps up happily, "Let me come with you! Maybe we can get some medical supplies."

Blanc sighs, "Sure, but I am going to make myself something to eat." She limps to the kitchen to make herself something.

"I will be here need to get some rest for a bit." Compa and Frisk nod as they both leave. Iffy feels Chara's anger and decides to confront it, but she just remains on the couch, "Yeah, you may bully around whoever came before me but I ain't easy prey!"

Chara comes out of Iffy shadow and her eyes are glowing red with fury, "You think you're so smart constantly outing me! You think you're so tough and all that?"

Iffy glares at Chara, "I got two words for ya. Get lost!"

Chara darkly as she circles around Iffy and the couch by levitation, "My you are much more feistier than Frisk, you are not as easily intimidated. I must commend you for that at least."

Iffy rolls her eyes, "I fought demons before."

Chara laughs, "So you have? Explains why it is so hard to read your mind, but I will crack that shell. Ohhh, so that is what the overworld called, Gamindustri? Quite a weird name I must say."

Iffy groans and clinches her fists, "Ok, so you're talking a big game, and I am aware of your genocidal tendencies. Yeah, you are not the only one that can probe around people's minds in this relationship, as well as what I just learned from the others."

Chara squints her eyes her face getting dark and creepy as she twitches, "Then you know she started it, but I push forward to finish it. She uses me as a scapegoat some days."

Iffy crosses her arms and smirks, "At least she grew up and learned to accept her mistakes, but look at you stuck in the past. Let me give you a piece of advice Chara the unfriendly psycho ghost, the past is in the past and it is not helping anyone being stuck in it and not taking responsibility for letting go. So do yourself a favor and just let it go."

Chara was speechless shocked as if not expecting to be called out, and gritted her teeth and screeched, "Fine! Have it your way for now, but I will be watching, and waiting. You will break, it is only a matter of time!" Chara wanders back to the darkness and disappears into it.

Iffy scoffs as she stands up and stares at the darkness, "Well screw you too Chara!"

Blanc comes from the kitchen with a sandwich and she takes a bite from it, "So the crazy ghost is real, if I didn't know any better I thought you have just gone crazy."

"Gee thanks, Blanc" Iffy says as she rolls her eyes.

Frisk and Compa walk back into the house, "We are back that was quicker than expected." Compa says with a smile.

Iffy smiles with a more determined look, "The psycho ghost came to visit, and I gave her an earful."

Frisk smiles and sets down the medical supplies next to Blanc, and Compa begins to work on patching up Blanc. Frisk turned to Iffy and exclaimed, "You are certainly braver than me, it took me a while to stand up to Chara but be careful they are bad news. If you let her, they will take control of you."

Compa looks around, "Hey where did Sans go?"

Iffy shrugs, "Who knows."

Sans pops up behind Iffy, "Sup, I just got on break!" Sans smiles as Iffy jumps and falls on her back.

"Can you not!" Iffy shouted.

Sans chuckles, "What? Feeling "Iffy" about me popping up behind ya?"

Iffy groans as she kicks back up to her feet, "Don't make a pun with my name"

Blanc smiles slightly, "At least it's not me"

Compa grabs Iffy hand, "Now let me treat your hand," Iffy tries to pull away but Compa insists with an annoyed smile, "I said let me see your hand!"

"Fine" Iffy grunted and let Compa patch up her hand, "It really doesn't hurt."

Blanc finishes eating her sandwich and wipes her mouth with a napkin, "So are we going to continue on."

Sans cheekily says, "You must gather your party before venturing forth!" which earned a slight chuckle from Blanc.

Compa looked at Sans and Blanc with shock written upon her face, "Did you just make Blanc laugh?"

Iffy sighs and heads to the door, "Well I am ready when you guys are, unless you want to make more stupid jokes."

Frisk nods and looks at Sans, Blanc, and Compa heading towards the door and Frisk runs after them saying, "Hey wait for me."

The group walks out the door and Blanc couldn't help but ask, "So what does the psycho ghost want since I heard you talking while I was making a sandwich."

Iffy simply says while walking with her hands behind her head, "She was trying to break me again."

Sans hums, "So Chara is a girl, either I just missed it altogether or never paid attention since you know timeline shenanigans"

Frisk's face came with a realization, "Kinda figured Chara was a girl, but they never did look like one growing up."

Compa looked around as they walked for a while and noticed they walked past the battlefield they had with Papyrus, "That was quite an interesting battle with Mr. Papyrus."

Blanc blinks as she sees the snow melting and notices light rain, "What the snow is melting, and there is rain."

Frisk smiles widely and gets very excited, "Welcome to WATERFALL my home here in the underground!"

Iffy facepalms as she notices all the rain and the water in the area, "Wow! What an original name."

"At least it is straight to the point," Blanc commented.

Frisk takes off her jacket and ties it around her waist, "Yeah, I live further down, and I have a shop here as well as neighbors with some of the local monsters here."

Iffy looks at Frisk, "I thought you live in Snowdin."

Frisk chuckles nervously, "It's… complicated, one I am in the process of moving the other is Undyne... I don't want to talk about it now."

Sans makes a wider grin, "She is making her house into a "doll house" as well."

"Sans! That is not funny!" Frisk stomps her foot and glares at Sans as she huffs with annoyance.

Compa blinks, "I don't get it."

Blanc puts her hand on Compa's shoulder, "Don't worry your innocent head about it."

Frisk crosses her arms, "For the record she is an android now, and quite a sexy one at that." She gasps and covers her mouth in embarrassment.

Blanc takes notice of an echo flower next to a guard station, "No way. I read these were extinct." Blanc slowly approaches it and touches the flower awed by its beauty. "An echo flower that can incorporate past thoughts into them."

Frisk smiles, happy to change the subject, "Oh you know about the echo flowers, and how they record conversation?"

Blanc nods and continues to examine the flower, "It is such an interesting mechanic of these flowers."

Sans goes to his guard station, and he just falls asleep standing up and Iffy shakes her head, "Unbelievable, just unbelievable."

Compa complains about getting rained on slightly, "Is it always rainy here my clothes will get so wet."

Frisk goes to open the infinite box and gets them rain gear, "Here are some raincoats, now good thing I have a sports bra on, I am not worried about getting wet," She takes off her shirt and throws it in the box.

Iffy takes off her winter jacket and tosses it to Frisk, "Get my jacket out of there."

Frisk tosses Iffy blue jacket back to her, tosses Compa a poncho, and looks at Blanc who simply replies, "Don't worry about me, since I am wearing akin to a one-piece like swimsuit as White Heart."

Compa giggles as she puts on the poncho, "Blanc is taking all this quite well."

Blanc nods letting out a slight smile, "I am in a storybook game, and it was one that I was a big fan of though this one could be quite interesting."

Iffy was about to say something until Frisk beats her to it, "So they write stories and games about the UNDERGROUND."

Blanc nods, "There are few stories and they are hard to find. Sadly my little sister Ram colored all over one of my original copies before I could read it." Her eye twitched in slight annoyance about her sister despite not being there.

Compa complains loudly, "Ew! My shoes are all wet, they are all mushy and itchy!"

Frisk laughs as she unpacks some lunches, "Perhaps we should take a moment to get everything you are going to need to go through WATERFALL, and the journey ahead. Trust me it may get harder from here."

Iffy shrugs, "Can't argue with that." The girls get together to go through their inventory and supplies before venturing forth. Iffy sighs, "This is going to take a while."

Meanwhile in Gamindustri Neptune walks up to the bacilicom of Planeptune with Ram and Rom following her. At the front of the building was an angry Histoire, "Neptune why must you make a scene with that civilian?"

Neptune chuckles it off, "That civilian was a real big meanie, and she kind of one of those LET ME SEE YOUR MANAGER type, like gez, that whole interaction was pointless and she could have just you know gone away."

"And you could have not gotten involved with that!" Histoire spats, "Now, there's more paperwork from her you have to…"

Neptune interrupts Histoire, "I am going to just casually throw that paperwork to the shredder, now I'd like to talk about pointless stuff all day but we got a huge problem."

Histoire nods her head no, "No we are not babysitting the twins again."

"BLANC WENT MISSING!" Ram screamed at Histoire.

Histoire blinks and then ushers them inside, "Come inside, and explain everything."

They walk into the Bacilicom and Neptune greets herself to everyone, "Hello there everyone!"

Ram took immediate notice of CFW Brave, "Hey why is one of those CFW dummies here!?"

Uni glares at Ram, "That dummy is my friend."

Ram laughed, "Defending your boyfriend there?"

CFW Brave answers on Uni's behalf, "We did date before, but she didn't have any feelings for me, so I did the honorable thing and let her find her own love."

Neptune tries to greet herself again, "Ummm hello, I feel invisible here."

Nepgear smiles as she enters with Noire and 5pb, "Hello Neptune how was your search?"

Neptune looks down at the floor and sighs, "A whole lot of nothing, and my only lead vanished thanks to this weird skeleton guy I keep hearing about."

Histoire spoke with a frustrated tone, "That is why we are all here. The skeleton has been sighted taking Vert, and I assume he has taken Blanc to a strange dimension, and I have just received word from Mina's illness is concerning."

Noire crosses her arms and sighs, "This freak managed to do something to Blanc, and as if why he captured Vert must be the same reason why he took Blanc. I heard from Cyberconnect, who is in the hospital right now because of him, he had a distorted creepy voice." She shivers slightly thinking about what is going on.

Neptune sighs, "The creepy skeleton has been stalking me, I think he has plans for me, but I won't let him get me."

Uni gets really antsy around Nepgear which prompts the young CPU to ask, "Is there something wrong Uni?"

Uni screams at Nepgear, "It's none of your damn business!" She storms off leaving everyone confused.

"That was random," Neptune says.

Noire chuckles, "Nah, she gets like that when she has her hormone periods, trust me that was tame."

Histoire gets them back on track, "Anyways, we now have a situation with the CPU of Lowwee being missing, and the CPU of Leanbox being kidnapped by the skeleton. Mina being severely ill and her being out of commission does not bode well for Lowwee."

Rom tugs on Histoire's clothes, "Miss Histoire, we fought that creepy skeleton, but he was too powerful, so our big sister came in but, she didn't come back from the fight."

Histoire nods at Rom, "I see, I think ASIC is returning, but… I feel they are not the main issue."

Neptune chuckles, "Bring them on! These bad guys are no match for us."

Noire sighs, "Neptune! Don't get cocky."

5pb smiles, "You never change Neptune."

Neptune laughs at Noire, "Oh Noire! You can't help but love me, I mean I am very infectious here."

Noire crosses her arms, "Infectiously annoying at times."

"And utterly adorable and the best hero in all of Gamindustri!" Neptune pumps her fist in the air and chants, "Go Neptune, you can do it! Goooo NEPTUNE!"

Noire groans, "You are so unbelievable, Neptune."

5pb chimes in, "Can we not argue?"

Neptune and Noire pointed at each other with their fingers yelling at the same time, "She started it."

Histoire yells, "Enough! Now listen here! There is a looming threat approaching and you are all arguing like little children."

Nepgear sighs, "Why all the unprofessionalism? Can we please get back on track?"

Ram yells, "Yeah, can we just get to the point already?"

Rom spoke softly, "I miss older sister."

CFW Brave looks around the room seeing everyone has settled down, "I think we have all settled down," He walks out to the middle of the room, "Since Kei could not show up, I will display her findings. It appears that some of the ASIC members have been revitalized and had strange movements with their organization which are strange even to them. Regardless, they are a threat."

Histoire adds, "And they must be dealt with before they become a problem. Also, something is bothering me about this mysterious skeleton."

Rom taps her fingers together and timidly says, "When we fought him, he spoke in hands."

Histoire froze for a second, and looked down as if she remembered something, "I see, I will need to look into this, it feels very familiar." Histoire left in a hurry, toward the library.

Neptune being Neptune cheerfully says, "Well let's do it to it!"

Noire yawns, "Brave, I need to get some sleep, come find me when you're done here ok" She earns a nod from Brave, "Thanks" She leaves for the guest room in the bacilicom.

Nepgear sighs, "No doubt, CFW Magic is back. This is going to be a little scary, well I am going to find Uni."

Ram and Rom started dozing off. The next thing they knew they were sleeping on the couch and Neptune chuckled, "Aww how cute."

CFW Brave picks up the twins, "I will send them to bed." He goes to put them in a nice cozy bed in one of the guest rooms and then goes to join Noire.

5pb looked around and noticed everyone but Neptune left. She walks up to Neptune and hugs her, "So we are finally alone, and you are not busy."

Neptune chuckles softly and confused by the hug, "So, whatcha been up to 5pb, and what with the hug?"

5pb shyly chuckles, "I had my songs to write and I even wrote one about the CPU I always wanted to date, but I never bothered her when she was on her mission."

"Oh, I bet it's Vert!" Neptune added with a warm smile. "oh by the way, even though we know about this Undertale game there are very few copies of it. Now."

"Wait really?" 5pb says in shock.

Neptune nods, "Yeah, I was running by every game store but they are all gone, but lately finding my friends has not been my focus ever since what happened in Lowwee."

5pb asks "Why didn't you mention that to Histoire?"

Neptune nervously laughed, "I forgot about it once I found there was a creepy skeleton stalking me. Hm, creepy skeleton, that Undertale game and all it going missing, ASIC, do you think it's all connected…" 5pb suddenly kissed her, "Whoa! What"

"Sorry, I couldn't hold it back anymore. It's you, Neptune! I want to be with you! I love you!" 5pb confessed

Neptune was just stunned and yet a knock at the door pulled her out of her stunned silence, "I am… going to get the door." She opened the door and to her surprise, the Underling was there, "Uhh ok you really want to fight that bad?"

"I surrender." Linda boldly says

Neptune just says nothing as her mind stops processing things because she just got kissed by 5pb out of nowhere and an ASIC underling is surrendering. "What?" Neptune finally spoke,

Linda scoffs, "Wow, you look dumber than usual, but no surprise there, I surrender! I hate my boss, and I don't want to work for him."

5pb walks up behind Neptune and asks, "Neptune are you ok?"

Neptune chuckles nervously, "I think I need a nap," and proceeds to faint on the floor in disbelief, and shock.

Linda sighed, "Oh so now, you are knocked out. You know what I will wait here till your brains are not fried like a fish."

5pb shakes Neptune only to see her fast asleep. She sighs, "I think we broke her." 5pb just drags Neptune to the couch while Linda snickers at the ridiculous sight of this, and then just shuts the door to wait outside. 5pb just sleeps on a nearby sofa that wasn't occupied by a Neptune.

Author Notes: Sorry this one took so long, I had a death in the family, and to be honest I had to get away from writing for a while, when I came back, I had reread my notes and made major changes to this chapter to both shorten it and help the continuity of this work. This chapter is not my best chapter but, the next chapters will be better in due time. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
