republictale ( my first fanfic)

ch1 the start

One day Sans had been visiting the old capital after a meeting he had had. This meeting was held at a council, but not just a council, a senate. A couple of years after The Human with the red soul, named Frisk, freed them the people of the Underground were able to exit through the barrier. As time passed they began to coexist with the humans who lived outside. As time went on the Underground spread its borders and became an independent nation. After some time, the people of the Underground noticed a problem. They were still in an outdated government with ancient, but still functional policies. So, the people of the Underground elected three monsters to rule and modernize the Underground.

The first branch of the government was the legal branch led by Sans. He was elected as the Grand Judge for his charisma, humor, sense of justice, and strong leadership skills. Sans was partly in control of law-making, economics, and legal discussions. The second branch was the militaristic branch, led by Undyne. She was the head of state, or as the people called her, the "Archgeneral". She was elected since the people of the Underground knew her for her heroism and strong will. She was the leader of the military and handled military operations all over the world. Each of her colleagues was a well-known commander in the Royal Guard. And the third branch was the scientific branch led by Alphys, she was the Grand Scientist. Alphys focused on geopolitics, chemicals, industry, and technology. She was elected because she had been an apprentice for the original royal scientist. The old royal family had become nothing more than figureheads.

As Sans walked around in the old royal palace he cringed as he reviewed the meeting he had just left. The senate had been arguing over a trade route between the two countries. The thing is they could only choose one of them. The only two countries that were willing to trade with the Underground were also historically rivals. If they chose one then the other would become an enemy by default. The first choice was the Tree People of the Northwest. They were an economically powerful and cultural nation. Plus, trade with them would increase tourism for both parties. On the other hand, there was the mighty Sand Dune Republic of the South. They were a powerful nation that had a strong military and was technologically advanced. Additionally, they knew strong magic. If the Underground were to trade with them then the Sand Dune Republic could share their technological advances.

Sans was tired of it all. Then he heard a metal clink and he looked up. He had been so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice he had bumped into someone. It was Undyne in all of her armor.

"Sorry, Sans I didn't see you there". Once he noticed who he had run into him he remembered the first time he saw her.

He had walked to the River Styx to take a breather from all the stress he'd been having at the lab. Then a red-haired girl who had been running back home discovered him by the river. She asked, "are you ok?". He mumbled "I'm fine, I'm just looking at the bioluminescent blue water." The girl noticed that there were some tears on his face. She slowly started to feel concerned for this boy, she was thinking he may have escaped from the laboratory. His clothes were similar to what the patients wore. "Hey, uh, you don't look well.

Then she asked, "do you want to come to the playground with me?"

"Ummm, what's a playground", he asked solemnly still looking down at the water.

"Pfft, silly, it's a place you have fun" she squeaked enthusiastically.

"ok" he shrugs, and hesitantly stood and followed her.

They took the riverboat to Snowden to get to the playground. While he quietly rowed the boat she questioned, "Soo, hey what's your name?"

"Sans" he responded robotically. He didn't ask for hers, but she said "Well my name's Undyne" she sang her name playfully. He couldn't help himself but a smile slowly spread across his face. He looked up and quietly gasped, they had arrived at the playground. Sans had never seen such a beautiful thing before. For most of his life, he stayed in a small room in the laboratory. But this, this looked like a fantasy. Children were running and laughing. He couldn't help but feel excited as they took the boat on shore and began walking towards the playground.
