Undertale yellow:Justice for all

Chapter Three:Acceptance

Morning came,and Clover found themself awoken by a familiar fox-like face,making them remember what was about to happen today.

They got out of bed,and made their way to the living room,snatching their iconic hat and yellow scarf,before following their Family out of the door.

Kanako and Clover messed around and yeased each other while following Ceroba,having to be scolded every now and then for getting out of line.

Deep down,even Ceroba appreciated the lighthearted tomfoolery,it gave their minds peace,and mabye a small break from what was to come.

Soon,They found theirselves waiting outside the entrance of Alphys lab. Ceroba was the first to approach and knock. Eventually,an awkward yellow reptile monster opened their lab door to greet them.

"H-hey. I..I did'nt expect you g-guys so soon..Wh..wait..why are you h..here again? I thought Kanako was'nt due another injection for atleast a week?"
Alphys said,looking extremely nervous. Most people would assume they done something extremely bad,and was hiding something,but apparently this was just their normal nervous behavior.

"She is,but thats why we came here. Her serum is wearing off now,sooner. Apparently she hid this fact from us due to being afraid."
Ceroba replied,slightly breaking their stoic character,but quickly recovering it.

"Thats...thats really....oh...oh god... come inside quick then. We need to fix that as soon as possible."
Alphys concerningly said.

The awkward reptile led them down to a secret elevator in the lab,and eventually led them to what seemed to be a operating room. They motioned Clover to sit down along with Kanako,and began digging through equipment.

Alphys eventually brought an odd looking tool out,to which it had a small needle. They promptly asked for Clover to hold still. Quite soon,Clover squinched as they felt the needle insert and began extracting what was needed. It was quite painful.

"Im sorry...I wish there was a way to make it less painful for you...I..I'll give you a box of my ramen for..for taking i-it so well...I know you liked them last time."
Alphys said,trying to keep Clover calm.

After some time,They removed the needle and injected the essence into Kanako.

"I have some news for you,Miss k-Ketsukane. K..Kanako will be fine for a while again...but...I have to tell you...It seems She is building an immunity to the serum. Th-that is to say...it will become less effective over time."
Alphys sadly elaborated.

"So what then? How will we keep Kanako stable? There is a way to right? Please,tell me there is."
Ceroba said,losing even more of their stoic behavior.

"We-well...thats just what I was going to say...you see...When I extract some of the Essence of Clover's SOUL,it takes a very long time for them to recover that. Not only is it making Clover weaker over time when not enough time is given to them to recover,but due to the way Kanako has already recieved a different essence in the past,Its...well...Its like using a bandaid on a crack. Eventually Kanako's SOUL will more than likely reject the determination all together,regardless of the trait is has."
Alphys confessed.

"Then we have to find another way. You have to help them,Or so help me I will...Ill..."
Ceroba could'nt find the words to say,and just stared into nothing.

"I dont want to lose them again. Not a second time."
Ceroba finally said.

Eventually,Alphys chimed back in,with a slightly more confident tone.

"W-well...I believe there is one way...One thing I have'nt tried. In theory...It might work...but its risky."
They said.

"What is the way?"
Ceroba asked.

"Well...It would take Clover's intervention yet again...but its a huge risk not only for Clover,but for monsterkind. If something wrong happens...it wont only make them suffer,but all of us due to losing their SOUL entirely..."

There was a silence in the room,before Alphys continued speaking.

"I...I think that if Clover...If we tried tampering with not just the essence,but a bit of his SOUL and graft it into Kanako's,and graft a piece of Kanako's soul into Clover's, we could possibly get Kanako's soul to accept the determination,and become stable,while also keeping Clover's SOUL stable.
Alphys declared.

Clover eventually broke the silence that befallen the room yet again,suprisingly.

"I...I'll do it..but would it be possible to give me just one single day?"
Clover said.

"Umm..S-sure. I think the serum injection should last for over a week,atleast."
Alphys said.

And so it was eventually,and tensely settled.

The meeting was concluded with Ceroba apologizing and thanking Alphys for their time,before Alphys handed Clover some ramen and waved goodbye to them all,closing the lab door and reclusing themselves back to their work.
