Mass Effect Tale COMPLETE

Chapter 6

Sorry guys I forgot to post Tuesday  >-< . New chapter up hope you enjoy :)

Alphys dashed off to escape her embarrassment of her Captain's teasing. She loved Undyne but sometimes she could be overbearing and crude about her feelings towards her. It wasn't that Alphys didn't love the attention or appreciate it but sometimes in large crowds it made her nervous. She wasn't a normal Turian female growing up—she didn't watch adolescent males play fight and spar with one another to win the imaginary hands of girls in the crowd. Alphys wasn't flattered or interested. She was one to dive into her studies...she wanted to be a scientist.

Her parents worried. Her dad less so, because he had no male heirs and he wanted a strong female to make him proud. While Alphys might not be strong she was dedicated to her duty in the medical field—she dual majored in laboratory sciences as well. Went through the academy with some minor issues and still withdrawn from male advances—flattered she had them but she could never see the attraction.

And when all of that was over she was hand selected by a member of the royal staff right out of the academy to come on as a royal scientist and personal physician to the king and his family. It wasn't long after starting her new job and meeting with the royal family for the first time that she met Undyne...

The king said he was suffering from a mild stomach ache and she rushed up from her laboratory that was held under the large sprawling mansion and went to his sitting room where he had been going over the days items. She arrived her medical bag in hand puffing and huffing from the sprint. Someone blocked her path and she looked up wiping sweat from her brow.

"I—I am here to see the king."

"Who are you?" the female voice was harsh a snarl on her lipless mouth as she bared her teeth and flared her mandibles at her.

Alphys jumped back a step and started stuttering seeing who it was—a royal guardsman...or woman in this case. She was tall steel blue plating with red markings on her hide. Two fiery golden eyes glared down at her—they were in the cusps of war with a new space faring race so security had been added round the clock for the king.

"M—my name is Alphys—m-ma'am I—I am the royal—phy—physician." She stuttered her neck on fire from the raging blush—this female looked so powerful—she was like a warrior spirit made flesh before her. She was gorgeous everything that Alphys wished she had been blessed with when she was growing up. "I—I started a few days ago..."

"I am Undyne—head of the Royal Guard—what business do you have with the king?"

"He called me—h—he is complaining of st—stomach pains."

"WHAT!" Undyne spun around and threw the doors open—with a swift kick of her booted foot. The resounding clatter startled the king who was sitting as his desk he jumped clutching his armor over his chest as two lesser guards jumped and went for their weapons.

"Undyne—"

"Your majesty why did you not tell me you were experiencing pain!" she managed to growl concern... "have you been poisoned? I will have their heads!"

"Stop yelling Undyne you are unsettling your team." He chuckled getting to his feet pushing the chair back as the room suddenly bowed to him.

"At ease—come in Alphys—I hope Captain Undyne has not harassed you too much Hmm?"

"N—no Sir, I mean y—es sir I will come in...Captain U—Undyne did not cause me trouble." She dashed in while Undyne calmed herself worry evident on her face. she watched the average looking female rush past and walked into another room where the Queen was sitting watching the news on a expansive vid screen and she stopped looking over to them.
