Chapter Six: A Mother's Love

Chapter Six:

A Mother's Love

"Ow! Damn it!"

"I'm truly sorry about this Undyne," said Toriel, pulling the sides of her robe close to her so as to not get caught on the forest's branches.

"Don't worry about it, I'm a Royal Guard. I'm suppose to guard royalty and stuff. Besides I want to see some action!" Undyne smiled widely and pumped her fist in the air. She had been waiting for this for a long time. Not just for freedom, but for the chance to see all the stuff Alphys had talked about. She couldn't wait to see the giant robots, psychic princesses, and the cool swords...

"I hope Broken Baby's okay. The woods can be so scary at night..."

Oh right.

The baby.

Undyne had completely forgotten why she was out here.

"I'm sure we'll find the little pipsqueak no problem! If their scared then they'll cry and lead us right to em'!"

"I hope you're right," said Toriel feeling a little better. She could see why Undyne was captain of the guard. Not only was she strong physically, but her spirit was too. She had a way of making terrible situations seem as troublesome as stepping over a log.

"Are you looking at the radar? Some Fonts are hard to see and Horrors love the dark apparently." Toriel looked warily around her. She loved her children, but Horror Fonts still terrified her. The fact that her husband wanted to fill the world with them was even more frightening.

What would the world be like filled with scary creatures that HAD to hurt others? Would she and her family even survive?

"Oh yeah, I forgot about the Fonts!" Undyne took out her FontSearch excitedly. Although Frisk had told her about Fonts before, Alphys had made things much clearer. Skeletons were apparently a whole other species and had super cool abilities based on their name. It reminded her of a game Alphys had tried to get her to play.

I can't believe the little nerd was playing me the whole time. Papyrus had me fooled for friggen' years! Even the TRIAL was part of his master plan...

Undyne smiled as she remembered the ruse. She wasn't angry with Papyrus, far from it actually. She was super impressed with his dedication and skill, every memory she had of him acting stupid made her smile. She usually hated japes, but this one was different. This one took precision, iron willpower, enormous strength and guts. Papyrus had been protecting people before she even knew what a true hero was! She couldn't believe the weenie she had been training was a super smart serial killer. The novelty of it had nowhere near worn off. She couldn't wait to see him again; she had so many question running through her mind. What was he really like? Was he stronger than her? Was the training fake too? Could Papyrus kick her ass?

Alphys had shown her how the FontSearch worked and let her see some of the entries of the Fonts Toriel and Asgore had taken in and planned to raise. She had checked Papyrus out too.

He's the Lying Font.

He can make me believe anything as long as it's a lie.
