(Dwarfs' Mine – Interior)

The pair of ghosts continues to chackles in glee after seeing us.

"More ghosts?! They're floating around here too!" Ace yells in exasperation at the sight of ghosts.

"If we stop to fight, we'll never get anywhere. Let's just keep moving." Deuce advices to not fight the ghosts but continues in searching for a magestone.

"Sure, but don't act like we voted you as the team leader. The only reason we're here in the first place is because of that stupid stunt you pulled. Man, Sans was right. That was one of the most idiotic moves." Ace agrees but tell him off for ordering him.

"Oh? I'm pretty sure this all started because you tried to shirk your window-cleaning punishment!" Deuce retorts back in anger.

"So, we're bringing up ancient history now? Then, if you wanna get down to brass tacks, this all started when furball torched that statue!" Ace decides to blame Grim for causing this whole mess.

"Myah?! Maybe you shouldn'ta made fun of me, then! Like what Sans said before, your meddling cause all this!" Grim counters back the blame by saying it was Aces' fault.

"Guys! We're in real hot water, remember?! If we don't come back with a magestone by morning, we're all being expelled!" Deuce reminds both of them of the consequences of not finishing the task.

"Yeah, which is why we don't need you ordering the rest of us around. It gets old real fast." Ace replies back with a dismissive tone.

Their arguments are getting louder and it's getting on my nerves. With the violent aura getting stronger and closer causing me to lash out at them. "ENOUGH! THE RACKETS YOU'RE CAUSING ARE REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES! SO, SHUT YOUR YAPPING MOUTH, THIS INSTANT!" I yell with a thunderous sound.

All three of them quickly silence themselves and become a bit of submissive. But they're still glaring at each other with heats in their eyes.

I am about to say something else until a hoarse voice cut off.

"...iiivvv... ...oooouuu..." The hoarse voice becomes louder in a minute.

"Huh?!" The idiotic trio screeches at this.

"Wh-where's that comin' from?" Ace asks in a frighten voice.

"...neeevvvaaa... ...iiivvv... ...ooouuu..." It becomes more clearer and louder.

"Sounds like... it's getting closer..." Deuce comments at this.

A monstrosity emerges from the darkness and the aura it emits is horrible. It has a shattered ink glass as its head and giant pickaxe as its weapon. It screams in fury: "Stooonesss... Stooonesss aaare miiiiine!"

"Bwah! There it is!" The trio shrieks in fear after seeing it in person.

On the other hand, I just grit my teeth to block out this horrible presence coming from this... thing.

"What is that?!" Deuce hysterically asks in terror.

"Myaaah! No one said there'd be monsters! Let's get outta here!" Grim yowls loudly to run away.

"That thing's super creepy! But didn't it just say something about "stones"?!" Ace notices about the stone that the thing screams about.

"Wait, what?" Grim asks in confusion at Ace question.

"Stooonesss... ...nevvva give stooonesss...!" It screams again after hearing Ace question.

"Ah!" The trio steps back at this.

"So, there ARE still magestones here!" Deuce says in enlightment about the presence of magestones in the mine.

"Myaaah... Even as a master sorcerer, I... I don't think I can take that thing down!" Grim backs down as if he knew his own capability is not enough for this situation.

"But we need a magestone or we'll get expelled! I'm going in!" Deuce says with emergence for the magestone.

"Are you outta your mind?!" Ace squawks at Deuce recklessness.

But Deuce ignores Ace protest and run towards the monster with a determine gaze. Until, he got hold up in the air with blue aura surround him.

"Huh?" Deuce confounds at his current situation until he looks back and see me holding out my right hand at him with blue aura surround my hold out hand.

"Are you a... NUTCASE OR WHAT?! DID YOU LOST YOUR MIND WHEN WE TRAVERSSING THE MINE?! RUNNING TOWARDS AN UNKNOWN DANGER CAN GET YOU KILLED DEUCE!" I yell in rage at the madness that Deuce shown at us.

"But Sans, we need the stone. We can't get expelled." Deuce answers stubbornly in return.

I want to say more but I see that the monster is about to slam it pickaxe at Deuce. I quickly pull him back to avoid it.

"Oof." Ace squeals lightly after becoming a cushion for Deuce.

"Stooonesss aaare miiiiine!" It screams again and charges at us.

I summon two Gaster Blasters and shoot two beams at it and orders them to run away to the opening. "Quick! Head back to the opening. NOW!"

The trio just gapes at me but after hearing my order, they quickly shook it out of their systems and run away.

"Myah! But what about you, Sans?" Grim asks in concern.

"Don't worry, Grim. I got this." I assure him for his worries for me.

Grim is about to say something else but got carry away by Deuce after another screech emits from the monster.

I sigh in comfort after seeing the trio manages to escape. I look at the monster and smirk. "Well, inky. It's just you and me, now. So, how about another rumble, huh?" I taunt it to catch their attention.

"GRAAAAAH!" It quickly rushes at me in anger.
