Raven: An Undertale story

Raven Chapter 8

"Have​ ​you​ ​checked​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​warehouses​ ​down​ ​that street?"​ ​Undyne​ ​asked​ ​the​ ​officers. "Yes​ ​Ma'am.​ ​We​ ​didn't​ ​come​ ​up​ ​with​ ​anything."​ ​They answered. "Try​ ​down​ ​there​ ​next."​ ​Undyne​ ​said,​ ​pointing​ ​toward some​ ​old​ ​laboratories​ ​and​ ​military​ ​bases. "Yes​ ​Ma'am."​ ​They​ ​said,​ ​doing​ ​as​ ​they​ ​were​ ​ordered. They​ ​had​ ​been​ ​searching​ ​for​ ​almost​ ​two​ ​days​ ​now, yet​ ​they​ ​still​ ​didn't​ ​come​ ​up​ ​with​ ​anything.​ ​Even​ ​Dogamy and​ ​Dogressa​ ​couldn't​ ​pick​ ​up​ ​his​ ​scent.​ ​Undyne​ ​wasstarting​ ​to​ ​lose​ ​hope. From​ ​down​ ​the​ ​street,​ ​she​ ​heard​ ​shouts​ ​and​ ​gunfire coming​ ​from​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​nearby​ ​buildings.​ ​Running​ ​over,​ ​all of​ ​the​ ​police​ ​men​ ​and​ ​the​ ​royal​ ​guard​ ​beat​ ​on​ ​the​ ​door, until​ ​finally​ ​it​ ​came​ ​off​ ​its​ ​hinges,​ ​and​ ​they​ ​were​ ​greeted​ ​by a​ ​ghastly​ ​sight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sans​ ​sat​ ​and​ ​waited​ ​until​ ​the​ ​man​ ​had​ ​brought​ ​him his​ ​food.​ ​Waiting​ ​for​ ​him​ ​to​ ​leave,​ ​he​ ​saw​ ​the​ ​man​ ​pass​ ​by him​ ​on​ ​his​ ​patrol.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​now​ ​or​ ​never.​ ​Going​ ​beyond​ ​the electrical​ ​field,until​ ​everything​ ​but​ ​his​ ​wings​ ​where through,reaching​ ​around​ ​the​ ​bars,​ ​he​ ​outstretched​ ​his hand​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​keypad​ ​on​ ​the​ ​other​ ​side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​door. He​ ​knew​ ​that​ ​the​ ​second​ ​he​ ​did​ ​this,​ ​that​ ​an​ ​army​ ​of guards​ ​would​ ​come​ ​after​ ​him,​ ​so​ ​he​ ​had​ ​to​ ​be​ ​quick. Summoning​ ​a​ ​ring​ ​of​ ​bones​ ​around​ ​his​ ​outstretched​ ​hand, he​ ​sent​ ​them​ ​hurtling​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​keypad.​ ​Piercing through​ ​the​ ​metal,​ ​the​ ​electrical​ ​field​ ​wavered,​ ​until​ ​finally disappearing.​ ​Down​ ​the​ ​hallway​ ​and​ ​alarm​ ​sounded​ ​as​ ​the field​ ​disappeared. Focusing,​ ​Sans​ ​blasted​ ​the​ ​door​ ​of​ ​the​ ​cell​ ​of​ ​its hinges​ ​as​ ​he​ ​ran​ ​into​ ​the​ ​hallway.​ ​Looking​ ​to​ ​his​ ​right,​ ​he saw​ ​another​ ​monster​ ​looking​ ​at​ ​him​ ​with​ ​wide​ ​eyes. Blasting​ ​that​ ​cell's​ ​door​ ​of​ ​its​ ​hinges​ ​too,​ ​Sans​ ​yelled​ ​for the​ ​monster​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​him,​ ​who​ ​soon​ ​fell​ ​out​ ​of​ ​his​ ​stupor and​ ​followed​ ​him. Behind​ ​him​ ​Sans​ ​heard​ ​the​ ​men​ ​arriving​ ​behind​ ​him. He​ ​turned​ ​around​ ​just​ ​in​ ​time​ ​to​ ​block​ ​a​ ​dart​ ​from​ ​hitting him.​ ​Turning​ ​down​ ​the​ ​hallway,​ ​Sans​ ​used​ ​his​ ​magic​ ​and ripped​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​doors​ ​off​ ​of​ ​their​ ​hinges,​ ​freeing​ ​the monsters​ ​from​ ​their​ ​cages​ ​just​ ​in​ ​time​ ​for​ ​the​ ​men​ ​to​ ​break down​ ​his​ ​defenses. All​ ​through​ ​the​ ​hall,​ ​a​ ​countless​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​monsters were​ ​formulating​ ​a​ ​colorful​ ​array​ ​of​ ​attacks​ ​and​ ​buffs, which​ ​were​ ​all​ ​pointed​ ​at​ ​the​ ​men.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​very​ ​blink​ ​of​ ​an eye,​ ​all​ ​chaos​ ​erupted.​ ​The​ ​men​ ​fired​ ​their​ ​weapons, sending​ ​bullets​ ​and​ ​tranquilizers​ ​at​ ​the​ ​monsters,​ ​as​ ​the monsters​ ​in​ ​turn​ ​fired​ ​off​ ​all​ ​of​ ​their​ ​attacks. Quicker​ ​than​ ​mock​ ​1,​ ​Sans​ ​blocked​ ​as​ ​many​ ​of​ ​the bullets​ ​and​ ​darts​ ​as​ ​he​ ​physically​ ​could,​ ​while​ ​dodging​ ​the rest​ ​of​ ​them.​ ​He​ ​watched​ ​as​ ​the​ ​monsters​ ​attacks decimated​ ​the​ ​line​ ​of​ ​men,​ ​dropping​ ​them​ ​until​ ​most​ ​were out​ ​cold,​ ​some​ ​never​ ​waking​ ​up.​ ​Finally​ ​able​ ​to concentrate​ ​on​ ​something​ ​other​ ​than​ ​defence,​ ​Sans​ ​stood up​ ​and​ ​took​ ​out​ ​the​ ​remainder​ ​of​ ​the​ ​guards. Turning​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​men,​ ​Sans​ ​took​ ​hold​ ​of​ ​the tranquilizer​ ​darts​ ​littering​ ​the​ ​floor,​ ​and​ ​flung​ ​them​ ​towards the​ ​men,​ ​knocking​ ​them​ ​out​ ​cold.​ ​Turning​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​rest of​ ​the​ ​monsters,​ ​he​ ​raised​ ​his​ ​voice​ ​so​ ​they​ ​could​ ​here him. "You've​ ​all​ ​suffered​ ​long​ ​enough.​ ​It's​ ​time​ ​that​ ​we​ ​get out​ ​of​ ​here."​ ​Sans​ ​shouted,​ ​cheers​ ​following​ ​his​ ​sentence. "But...​ ​I'll​ ​need​ ​your​ ​help.​ ​These​ ​men​ ​are​ ​going​ ​to​ ​hit​ ​us with​ ​all​ ​they​ ​have.​ ​But​ ​I​ ​need​ ​you​ ​to​ ​help​ ​me​ ​fight​ ​them,​ ​at least​ ​enough​ ​so​ ​we​ ​can​ ​get​ ​out​ ​of​ ​here." "Are​ ​you​ ​with​ ​me?"​ ​Sans​ ​asked. His​ ​question​ ​was​ ​answered​ ​by​ ​an​ ​eruption​ ​of​ ​cheers as​ ​the​ ​monsters​ ​followed​ ​Sans​ ​into​ ​the​ ​large​ ​open​ ​room that​ ​separated​ ​the​ ​hallway​ ​from​ ​the​ ​door​ ​to​ ​the​ ​outside. Stopping​ ​in​ ​his​ ​tracks,​ ​Sans​ ​saw​ ​over​ ​one​ ​hundred​ ​guards aiming​ ​their​ ​weapons​ ​at​ ​his​ ​chest,​ ​evident​ ​by​ ​the​ ​multiple red​ ​dots​ ​on​ ​his​ ​chest. "I​ ​warned​ ​you​ ​to​ ​not​ ​to​ ​try​ ​and​ ​escape.​ ​Now​ ​you've been​ ​very​ ​naughty.​ ​Return​ ​to​ ​your​ ​cells,​ ​or​ ​else​ ​we'll shoot."​ ​The​ ​doctor​ ​said​ ​from​ ​behind​ ​the​ ​line​ ​of​ ​men. "Then​ ​do​ ​it.​ ​Go​ ​ahead.​ ​Shoot​ ​me."​ ​Sans​ ​said​ ​cockily. "Well,​ ​if​ ​you​ ​say​ ​so.​ ​Shoot​ ​him."​ ​The​ ​doctor​ ​said, turning​ ​and​ ​leaving​ ​the​ ​room​ ​as​ ​the​ ​men​ ​shot​ ​of​ ​there guns. Moving​ ​faster​ ​than​ ​he​ ​has​ ​ever​ ​before,​ ​Sans​ ​raised his​ ​hands,​ ​summoning​ ​a​ ​wall​ ​of​ ​bones​ ​between​ ​the​ ​men and​ ​the​ ​monsters,​ ​the​ ​bullets​ ​bouncing​ ​harmlessly​ ​off​ ​of the​ ​protective​ ​wall,​ ​though​ ​the​ ​wall​ ​started​ ​to​ ​degrade.​ ​The men,​ ​seeing​ ​the​ ​effect​ ​the​ ​bullets​ ​had​ ​on​ ​the​ ​wall,​ ​started to​ ​barrage​ ​the​ ​wall​ ​with​ ​bullet​ ​after​ ​bullet,​ ​until​ ​finally, seconds​ ​before​ ​the​ ​wall​ ​would​ ​have​ ​collapsed,​ ​the​ ​door swung​ ​open,​ ​and​ ​policemen​ ​flooded​ ​the​ ​room​ ​as​ ​the​ ​real fight​ ​began. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bursting​ ​through​ ​the​ ​doors,​ ​Undyne​ ​saw​ ​men shooting​ ​at​ ​a​ ​wall​ ​of​ ​bones,​ ​which​ ​she​ ​knew​ ​had​ ​to​ ​be formulated​ ​by​ ​Sans.​ ​Yelling​ ​for​ ​her​ ​guards​ ​to​ ​attack, Undye​ ​ran​ ​and​ ​leaped​ ​into​ ​battle. "NGAAHH!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sans​ ​almost​ ​cried​ ​in​ ​joy​ ​when​ ​he​ ​saw​ ​Undyne​ ​burst through​ ​the​ ​door.​ ​Dropping​ ​his​ ​defensive​ ​wall,​ ​Sans jumped​ ​into​ ​the​ ​fighting,​ ​closely​ ​followed​ ​by​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the monsters.​ ​Before​ ​long​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​guards​ ​were​ ​on​ ​the​ ​floor, either​ ​knocked​ ​out​ ​or​ ​worse,​ ​but​ ​the​ ​doctor​ ​was​ ​nowhere to​ ​be​ ​seen.​ ​Sans​ ​turned​ ​to​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​other​ ​monsters. "Do​ ​you​ ​have​ ​any​ ​idea​ ​if​ ​there​ ​are​ ​any​ ​more​ ​guards?" Sans​ ​asked. "There​ ​should​ ​be​ ​more.​ ​Sometimes​ ​when​ ​they​ ​were going​ ​to​ ​a​ ​meeting​ ​or​ ​something,​ ​and​ ​they​ ​all​ ​passed through​ ​our​ ​hall,​ ​I​ ​counted​ ​numbers​ ​exceeding​ ​300."​ ​The froggit​ ​answered. "Crap."​ ​Sans​ ​said,​ ​walking​ ​over​ ​to​ ​where​ ​the​ ​guard where​ ​rounding​ ​up​ ​the​ ​remaining​ ​men. "Undyne?​ ​I​ ​need​ ​to..​ ​Ack!"​ ​Sans​ ​was​ ​interrupted​ ​when he​ ​was​ ​scooped​ ​up​ ​into​ ​a​ ​bear​ ​hug. "Oh​ ​Sans!​ ​We​ ​were​ ​so​ ​worried​ ​about​ ​you!​ ​Geez​ ​punk. You​ ​sure​ ​know​ ​how​ ​to​ ​make​ ​friends."​ ​Undyne​ ​said​ ​after she​ ​let​ ​go​ ​of​ ​him,​ ​gesturing​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​other​ ​monsters. "They​ ​were​ ​the​ ​other​ ​monsters​ ​that​ ​were​ ​captured here.​ ​But​ ​I​ ​can't​ ​explain​ ​now.​ ​There​ ​should​ ​be​ ​about​ ​200 more​ ​men​ ​in​ ​this​ ​entire​ ​building,​ ​all​ ​armed​ ​and​ ​ready, waiting​ ​for​ ​us​ ​to​ ​let​ ​our​ ​guard​ ​down.​ ​We​ ​have​ ​to​ ​find​ ​them before​ ​they​ ​find​ ​us."​ ​Sans​ ​said,​ ​hurriedly​ ​explaining​ ​their situation. "But​ ​Undyne.​ ​I​ ​need​ ​the​ ​policemen​ ​to​ ​get​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of the​ ​monsters​ ​out​ ​of​ ​here.​ ​Then​ ​we​ ​can​ ​take​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the guard​ ​and​ ​clear​ ​out​ ​the​ ​building​ ​of​ ​any​ ​other​ ​captives.​ ​It also​ ​would​ ​help​ ​if​ ​you​ ​called​ ​in​ ​some​ ​backup?"​ ​Sans​ ​said, catching​ ​her​ ​before​ ​she​ ​could​ ​go​ ​into​ ​the​ ​next​ ​room. Nodding​ ​her​ ​head,​ ​Undyne​ ​went​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​to​ ​the policemen,​ ​and​ ​informed​ ​them​ ​what​ ​was​ ​going​ ​to​ ​happen. Sighing,​ ​Sans​ ​went​ ​over​ ​to​ ​do​ ​the​ ​same​ ​for​ ​the​ ​innocent monsters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "How​ ​could​ ​we​ ​let​ ​this​ ​happen!​ ​First​ ​they​ ​escape,​ ​and now​ ​our​ ​facility​ ​is​ ​being​ ​overrun​ ​by​ ​police​ ​officers​ ​and guardsmen!​ ​What​ ​are​ ​we​ ​going​ ​to​ ​do​ ​doctor?"​ ​The​ ​head​ ​of security​ ​asked,​ ​concerned. "Don't​ ​worry.​ ​I​ ​know​ ​how​ ​we​ ​can​ ​stop​ ​them."​ ​The doctor​ ​answered,​ ​leaving​ ​the​ ​room​ ​with​ ​his​ ​men. "Wait,​ ​Doctor!"​ ​He​ ​shouted,​ ​but​ ​he​ ​was​ ​already​ ​gone. "He's​ ​going​ ​to​ ​get​ ​himself​ ​killed!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bursting​ ​through​ ​the​ ​door,​ ​Sans​ ​led​ ​the​ ​way​ ​through the​ ​hallway​ ​looking​ ​around​ ​for​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​guardsmen. After​ ​a​ ​few​ ​minutes​ ​Sans​ ​turned​ ​down​ ​the​ ​next​ ​hallway, only​ ​to​ ​see​ ​the​ ​Doctor​ ​there​ ​again,​ ​smiling​ ​at​ ​him. "Watch​ ​out​ ​they​ ​have​ ​guns."​ ​Sans​ ​said​ ​to​ ​Undyne who​ ​had​ ​come​ ​up​ ​beside​ ​him. "☠⚐🕈​ ​💧✌☠💧📬​ ​✡⚐🕆​ ​👎⚐☠🕯❄​ ​🕈✌☠❄​ ​❄⚐​ ​☟🕆☼❄ ✡⚐🕆☼​ ​☞☼✋☜☠👎📪​ ​☠⚐🕈​ ​👎⚐​ ​✡⚐🕆✍?"​ ​The​ ​Doctor said,​ ​surprising​ ​Sans. "How​ ​do​ ​you​ ​know​ ​how​ ​to​ ​speak​ ​in​ ​wingdings?"​ ​Sans questioned,​ ​startled. "Now​ ​Sans,​ ​let's​ ​just​ ​say​ ​I​ ​learned​ ​it​ ​from​ ​an​ ​old friend."​ ​He​ ​said,​ ​his​ ​smile​ ​widening. "Where?​ ​How?​ ​Do​ ​you?​ ​How!?!"​ ​Sans​ ​sputtered. "You​ ​don't​ ​know​ ​everything​ ​about​ ​the​ ​world​ ​Sans. He's​ ​closer​ ​than​ ​you​ ​know.​ ​Maybe​ ​I​ ​could​ ​even​ ​help​ ​you get​ ​him​ ​back?" Sans​ ​didn't​ ​know​ ​what​ ​to​ ​say.​ ​He​ ​was​ ​confused,​ ​how did​ ​they​ ​know​ ​his​ ​father?​ ​How​ ​could​ ​they​ ​speak wingdings?​ ​How​ ​did​ ​the.... His​ ​train​ ​of​ ​thought​ ​was​ ​interrupted​ ​by​ ​a​ ​searing​ ​pain, and​ ​an​ ​electrical​ ​sensation​ ​running​ ​through​ ​his​ ​bones.​ ​All around​ ​him​ ​everything​ ​was​ ​blurred​ ​as​ ​he​ ​hit​ ​the​ ​ground hard,​ ​before​ ​finally​ ​everything​ ​went​ ​black.
