At school, Alphys was just about to teach the class about their lesson, and reminding them of their group projects, but notices that both Kris and Susie were late to class, but not entirely like the usual "late to class or school" scenario.  She didn't even see Toriel when she first arrived to school.

Alphys: "Hmm..."

Noelle is curious on what was on her mind, so she raises her hand up.

Alphys: "Y-Yes Noelle...?"

Noelle: "Umm...is something on your mind?"

Alphys got rather nervous on responding to her question.

Aphys: "N-N-Nothing at all...j-just can't help but n-notice that both Kris and Susie are not here, and they usually are not *this* l-late."

Berdly: "Surely they both didn't sleep past their alarms.  Now that I think about it, Mrs. Toriel wasn't here this morning, either."

Alphys didn't say anything and only pondered herself.

Time then passed by and class had ended.  Noelle was very nervous about both Kris and Susie not being at school, so she quickly stopped by the hospital letting her dad, Rudolph "Rudy" Holiday, know that she would be back for him later in the day before sunset, she then arrived at both Kris and Toriel's house, to where she ran into both Berdly and the police officer, Undyne.

Berdly: "Oh, Noelle, what brings you here at Kris and Mrs. Toriel's house?"

Undyne: "Lemme guess... you also came here to investigate on what happened here?"

Noelle: "W-Well, I was nervous about both Kris and Susie not being at school today, so did something happen yesterday or last night?"

Undyne: "I know Toriel called me last night, saying that she saw something prowling outside, and when she walked out of the house, she found that her car's tires were slashed."

Berdly: "Woah!  Really?"

Noelle: "Wh-Who would do such a thing?"

Undyne: "I'm not entirely sure, I think it could be related to why they didn't show up at your school?"

Noelle: "Have you tried knocking or ringing their home's doorbell to see if they answer?"

Berdly: "We both tried that, no luck.  Judging by the windows having their blinds up, it's very dark inside, none of the lights are on."

Undyne walks up to the door, fidgeting with the doorknob a bit.

Undyne: "Huh?  The door's unlocked...?"

Once she had fully unlocked it, all that was visible through the doorway was pitch black darkness.

Undyne: "Wh-What on earth?!"

She stepped back, standing still next to both Noelle and Berdly.

Noelle: "I-It's oddly dark in there."

Berdly: "This is...very familiar."

Noelle: "H-HUH?!"
Undyne: "Kid, what are ya on about?"

Berdly: "I remember yesterday, Noelle and I went to the Librarby to study for our group project, we were both in the computer lab, then the room randomly started to dim down the light, then all there was left was pure darkness, then both of us awoke to be wearing different clothing, and a giant blue woman who called herself 'Queen' came up behind us and try to force us to be her loyal peons--"

Undyne: "Alright kid, that's enough intel."

Berdly: "Wh-What?"

Undyne: "Kris, who is also Asgore Dreemurr's kid, told me the past two days about there being a 'Dark World' inside the school's supply closet, and then came to the police office yesterday and told me that another 'Dark World' appeared in the Librarby's computer lab.  I thought he was fooling with me, but standing here in front of this.  I now believe they weren't kidding about it."

Noelle: "I...actually can't believe it.  I thought it was all a dream."

The three were all looking at each other.

Undyne: "Alright, enough chit-chat!  Time to get to the bottom of this case!!"

Undyne then jumped straight in the doorway, going into the Dark World.

Berdly: "H-Hey!  Wait for me!!"

Berdly then jumped in the doorway too, trying to follow Undyne.

Noelle: "Why did I now get myself into this situation...?"

Noelle slowly walked into the doorway, going into the "Dark World" inside of both Kris and Toriel's house.

Inside of Castle Town
______________________________

Ralsei was inside his castle, reading a book about the legend of "DELTA RUNE", learning more about how the Dark Fountains and many calamities are spoken to be dangerous.

Ralsei: "Interesting."

He then closed the book.

Ralsei: "I think that's enough reading for now."

He began to walk out of his castle, and into the town.

He couldn't help but think that something was missing.  It then popped into his head that both Kris and Susie didn't come in today.

Ralsei: "This is strange...surely it has been one full day since they last visited."

While he did some sight-seeing, he ran into both Lancer and Rouxls Kaard both chatting, who then both noticed him walking towards them.

Lancer: "Hey, Toothpaste Boy!"

Rouxls Kaard: "Prince Ralsei, whatst brings thoust here?"

Ralsei: "Hey guys, have you guys noticed that both Kris and Susie haven't visited yet?"

Both Lancer and his lesser father looked at each other realizing it, too.

Lancer: "Could they be busy with their school project?"

Rouxls Kaard: "Yeahth, that sounds about right.  They art in school, art they not?"

Ralsei: "Maybe..."

Ralsei then started to feel a dark presence, possibly being an indicator that a new Dark Fountain was formed.

Rouxls Kaard: "Something on thou're mind, prince?"

Ralsei: "A new Dark Fountain was formed, I must get going."

Lancer: "Oh, oh!  Can we come?"

Ralsei: "Remember what happened when you two were in the Cyber Dark World?"

Lancer: "O-Oh...you're right."

Rouxls Kaard: "Say, eventh though we turned into stone there, howst come it didn't happen to thoust?"

Ralsei: "I'm a prince of pure darkness.  So I don't turn into stone in other Dark Worlds, unlike you two."

Lancer: "Huh, guess that explains it."

Rouxls Kaard: "I wisheth thoust good luck, prince."

Ralsei: "I'll see you two again when I return, I'll be on my way now."

With that, Ralsei then left his Castle Town, and started to embark on his adventure in the new Dark World.
