The light peeking into the cave, a familiar voice wakes you up. It's her of all people.

KND: Heya, miss me?
RHT: How are you even here?
KND: Well, my soul is now part of yours so I'll be here as a spirit, although I can't do anything.
RHT: Of course you are. Anyways I need to get up and go kill your friends too. You can watch if you want.
KND: I'm aware I can't stop you.

You get up and grab your bag. After a bit of stretching, you head out of the cave. Such a good day outside. You flip open your map and start heading towards the burg. If news hasn't reached them yet, you'll have the suprise advantage but can't be too sure.

CHAR: Good morning Rhett.
RHT: You finally woke up, ay?
CHAR: Yeah... wait a minute, what is she doing here?
RHT: She's part of my soul now. You'll have to deal with her until this is over.
KND: Hey-
CHAR: Shut up.
KND: Okay.

Along the walk, you encounter a river. You kneel down to take a sip of water. Suddenly a frog comes out of the water, but it's way too big for a normal one.
*RIBBIT*

CHAR: That's a froggit, the monster equivalent.
RHT: It's huge for a frog.
CHAR: Yeah. But-
*SLASH*
RHT: More killing, More LV.
CHAR: Ruthless.

After that weird encounter, you pass the river and continue moving to the burg. You didn't expect the walk to be this long. Step after step, seems like an eternity until you get to your destination. Meanwhile, in the centre of Determination, news has arrived.

SNS: Heya kiddo, it's been some time since I saw you.
FSK: It sure has been. It's good to see you.
SNS: You've been busy with the knight work, you forgot to hangout sometime. But that's not what I'm here for. Frisk... I think they're back.
FSK: By them, you mean... Hate.
SNS: Yes, but not Bette, it's someone new.
FSK: You think ₮ⱧɆɎ have a hand in this?
SNS: I'm not sure, but one of the knights has... fallen.
FSK: *shock* This can't be! Mobilize all troops! NOW!
SNS: Calm down Kiddo. We can't let the public know.
FSK: You're right. Do you know where she's headed next? We have to alarm the others.
SNS: My tough guess is the Burg, but Shane just had her wedding, it'd be a blow to realize her best friend is dead and she's been partying.
FSK: Then what now? What's the plan?
SNS: I thought you'd come up with something, but seems you're out of ideas too.
FSK: We'll wait it out. Shane is a tough one after all. I doubt that kid is as strong as we take her to be.
SNS: Alright, I'll be heading to grillby's. Take care!
FSK: You too sans!

After sans leaves the soul palace, Frisk gets up and clicks a button on the back of her chair. A flight of stairs emerge from the ground. Frisk descends the stairs into the basement of the palace. Various weapons, relics and totems are scattered around, but a flashing light catches the eye. Frisk approaches the light and holds her hand above it.
