Oh hey old buddy ol pal friend chummy chum pal.

Frisk. 

Eyes closed, as if they were sewn shut.  Mouth curved up into a smile that reaches the ears.
A delicate frame, hiding a knife behind its back.
The one that killed my dad.
Who hurt sans.

I really did not want to see this demon again.

But, I do feel slightly comforted that I'm seeing it through gold lenses, and that I could already feel my magic flowing.  My hair feels a lot lighter and if I wanted to I could probably hover over the ground a bit.

Every fiber of my body is telling me to destroy frisk right now.  But I have to wait.

"How was your time in the ruins?"  I ask.  I look over at papyrus and Alphys.  They are ready to kill frisk.  As am I. 

I look down at the small amount of dust in my hands.  Maybe, just maybe...

"Oh I had a blast! You see I met my old best friend there!"  Frisk replies happily.  The puts their hand, still holding the knife, onto their chin.

"But for some reason, I can't find them anymore."  Frisk tries to look confused, but instead their personality shows through again.

"Did you feel your sins?"  I ask letting Alphys and papyrus prepare for their attacks.  It'll be the first time we are doing this.

"Oh, no I only felt lonely!  I tried to talk with dad... "  they tilt their head and some kind of black liquid drops out of their eyes. 

"  β  μ  τ       Ν  ο  β  ο  δ  γ      C  α  m  ε  "

They then fling themselves at me holding the knife in front of me. 

Their movements make frisk look like they are possessed.

I sidestep them and give them a push from behind, just as Alphys and papyrus begin their attack.

Everything turns black again, but the only thing different from the usual battles, is that I'm on the side with the monsters. 

Frisk will be trying to dodge all of their attack, and im here to defend Alphys from anytime frisk tries to stab her.

The reason I spoke with frisk was to get Alphys in her battle mode, she starts saying stuff about everybody's hearts beating as one, and then she gets armor that actually fits her, and her eye that is usually closed opens. 

It's actually pretty weird.

But it makes her more powerful, and that's exactly what they need.

"Oh papyrus! I see that BOTH of your eyes are glowing now! Now, is that just a decoration?"  Frisk says and puts her hand on fight.  They then immediately run up to papyrus and swing their knife. 

I was told not to get in papyrus' way.

Papyrus teleports to the left, avoiding the knife, then grabs frisk's collar and throws them against the wall.

Frisk seems used to this though and turns like a cat so they kick off the wall.

"Hehe... This is going to be  Fμη¡"

First turn, is papyrus' turn. 

He summons a pathway of bones, frisk easily jumps over it.  He summons the gaster blasters,  frisk nimbly dodges them.

Papyrus smiles.

He summons his new gaster blaster.  It's the same size as the normal gaster blaster, but it's speed is the same as the tiny ones.

He sets them off, again, and again, and again, and again.

Frisk can't dodge.   They all manage to hit frisk at least slightly, and they have decreased frisk to half health.

They silently hit fight again and charge towards us, this time aiming for Alphys.

"On no you don't!!!"  I say pulling the stick out of my back pocket.

They swing at Alphys but I move in front of them and deflect their knife with my stick.  They try to push my back but,

I refused.

They finally jump back and the next round of attacks starts.  Now, it's Alphys' turn.  I move out of her way as she swings her axe, turning the soul on frisk's shirt green.

Then axes get summoned from every direction.  Frisk just grins and move their shield in all different directions, blocking them. 

I place my hand on Alphys' back.  She nods and starts to grin. 

Then her gold axes come out.  Frisk doesn't even bother putting her shield where the axe is coming from and puts it behind them.

Bad move. 

The arrow hits frisk from behind where their shield wasn't.  Frisk shows a surprised expression, but not for long since the axes keep coming.

The next gold axe approaches and frisk puts their shield where it's coming from, then as the axe swings over their head they put the shield behind them.

Another bad move.

The axe swings over their head and then hits their left side.  This happens many more times as the axes hit frisk from anywhere.

It's great that Alphys special axes were already gold, saves me from trying to disguise the ones that i directly control.

As Alphys' attack ends I look down at frisk's health.  Only 1 hp left.

Frisk is panting with the buttons in front of them.  My eyes widen. 

Frisk is still smiling.

No, they're smiling even wider than before.  A laugh echoes throughout the battlefield as frisk tilts their head backwards. 

"Interesting.... This is so interesting!!! This timeline is completely different!! It makes me want to go through it again, and again, and again, just to find all the different possibilities!!!"

They turn towards papyrus.  "How did you get both eyes working? Could you always attack me even if I don't kill everyone else?"

They look over at Alphys.  "How could you go in that mode if I hadn't killed you first?  Do you remember other timelines? How did you control those attacks?"

They turn towards me.  "Why was there another human?  Why can they do magic? Can I do magic?"  They tilt their head so much it looks like their neck is broken.  The strange thick black liquid starts to dribble out of their mouth too.

"And how... Did you save sans?"

I look over at sans.  He's surrounded by a golden glow and floating in midair.  Im using my magic to heal him, but it's going very slowly.  Also one of his arms had already turned to dust...

But...

Seeing Sans fills you with determination.

I will save him.
