Katie gasped as suddenly, her soul heart came out of her body, though with also her body, and they were in a black expanse to fight. She looked incredibly nervous, but was ready as she ever would be. Her soul was green with no red now due to Chara not possessing her anymore.

"YOU! You're standing in the way of everybody's hopes and dreams!" Undyne glared right at Katie with her visible golden eye as she unleashed her sword. "Alphys's history books made me think humans were cool with their giant robots and flowery swordswomen, BUT YOU?! You're just a coward!"

"I told you I wasn't strong enough, not all humans are soldiers!" Katie told her, not happy at being called a coward. "But I'm not running away as I'm protecting my friends!"

"Ooooh! You know what would be more valuable to everyone?" Undyne mocked. "IF YOU AND THOSE FRIENDS OF YOURS WERE DEAD!"

Katie took on a more secure stance, her eyes narrowing behind her glasses. "Look, if you kill me that's fine, but you only need one more soul, so you leave my friends alone and if you get to the surface, well, the humans outnumber this place, I'm sorry to say." she said, the last bit calmer as she knew if the monsters went up fighting they would all die.

Papyrus looked very anxious for Katie now, he didn't want her to die, but he couldn't interfere as well.

"What're you sayin'?!" Undyne scoffed as she put her sword down for now.

"I'm saying if you kill me, which I'd let you do to keep my friends safe, and get to the surface... If you try to kill the humans, you won't be able to win... There are many more humans than monsters in ratio." she told her.

"I suppose it would be unfair, I never give up and you would never be able to escape me!" Undyne smirked.

Katie looked at her, and then glanced to Papyrus and then back again. She held up the sword but then let it drop to the ground. "I know I'd not be able to win in a fight, so here... If you have to kill me and take my soul, I'm going to face it head on and not try to be cowardly and try to stop you." she told the fish lady calmly, even holding out her arms so there was no barrier between Undyne and her soul.

"Admitting defeat when you know you've been bested... You've got guts, kid!" Undyne replied.

Katie looked at her, her face calm and determined, even though that wasn't her main trait. "Well, I know I'd never win against you, I mean you are the head of the Royal Guard here." she told her.

"That I am!" Undyne replied. "You seem smart for a human."

Katie gave a small smile. "Not the smartest, but I'm not dumb at least." she said quietly.

Undyne flashed a menacing smile. "I suppose I could spare you just this once, but don't tell nobody I did you any favors!"

"Um... Thanks a lot... And I won't tell anyone." Katie said and then promised. She blinked slightly in relief as they were now back into the normal Underground again.

"So, uh, I think we should all hang out sometime?" Papyrus suggested nervously.

"Oh... I suppose that would be fine, but no nerds allowed!" Undyne chuckled, sounding more like an immature teenager.

Katie chuckled. "I better just go now then." she joked, obviously joking. After all, she was quite nerdy too. She took Papyrus' hand though.

"Papyrus, show her where my place is later on, this human ain't so bad." Undyne replied.

"Right, Undyne, I'll get on that." Papyrus promised.

Katie smiled a little. "See you... Later?" she said, actually looking forward to it now the risk of death was over.
