Just One Night

Execution

The two teleported hand in hand inside of Alphys' lab, frozen in place by the two monsters fumbling around on the couch, quite obviously in the midst of a heavy make-out session if their twined bodies was any indication. There hovering over the yellow dino was a familiar fish monster, their faces inches apart, and from the flushes on their faces, they had been going at it pretty hard. Frisk squeaked and hid her face behind her hands while the two monsters separated, quickly smoothing their rumpled clothes. Sans laughed heartily watching his blushing girl and the two frazzled monsters before a spear whizzed by his skull and an outraged Undyne picked the skeleton up, cursing him for his poor timing and lack of courtesy.

"You just had to show up, huh? Couldn't give us a heads up first.. no, no just have to interrupt when we were just about to get to the good part!"

Alphys blushed and stuttered, the poor thing on the verge of fainting. Frisk was beet red, but went to Alphys' side and pulled her lab coat lightly and gave her a reassuring smile. The two women apologized profusely for either interrupting or being unaware of their surroundings.

Sans had gotten quite an earful from the annoyed fish before she finally dropped him back to the floor and returned to her lover's side.

"So what are you punks doing here anyway?" The fish huffed and pulled her girlfriend back into a loving embrace.

Sans took the liberty of taking over since Frisk had no idea what was really going to happen. He walked over and squeezed her hand gently, sending her warmth and reassurance.

"She has decided to help us power the device. And before you speak, yes I did explain the situation to her. I'm sure you heard from the news that a monster is suspected to be the murderer of the humans who disappeared a while back."

The other two monster nodded, faces falling grim. Frisk carried on, the earlier excitement fading as the seriousness of the situation settled in.

"Yeah, I've been reviewing the files left behind on these men, and although there isn't much evidence to suspect a monster as the culprit, the council doesn't believe us to be innocent. Sans said you need my DETERMINATION to power this cloaking device. Although I didn't expect to have this done so soon, I'll help in any way I can."

"The sooner the better," Undyne agreed.

Alphys had finally calmed down by the end of their talk and she nodded briskly. Guiding the others, she pressed a button by the bathroom door. It opened to reveal an elevator, one that Sans had hoped never to revisit again.

They all got in and Alphys pushed a button. They stood in relative silence until the door opened. Alphys rushed ahead claiming to need to tend to some things before the others could follow.

Sans kept the other two busy with silly puns to distract them from their anxiousness, but despite his pokerface he couldn't deny that this facility gave him the creeps. The whole area was poorly lit with a few lights blinking sadly, the walls a hard steel, almost like a cage, and the place had an odd smell of chemicals and decay. He hated this more than anything, but he kept his cool and prayed this would be the last time he would have to come down here.

Alphys returned about ten minutes later apologizing for the wait. The dinosaur then guided them down various hallways, her steps assured and confident as though she spent a great deal of time down in the gloomy lab. They passed through a room filled with nothing but rows of old rotting beds, a thick musk making them all cover their noses. Alphys dragged them past the room and took a left down another hallway, opening up to a large room with a strange looking machine.

Frisk looked around thoroughly creeped out by the entire facility. It was nothing like the bright, bubbly atmosphere up above. This all felt wrong, the atmosphere was thick, the shadows seemed to grow around them and she could distinctly feel the stares of.. something. Those creatures, the amalgamated, they had been freed had they not? It certainly didn't feel like it, although She wasn't foolish enough to go and find out what lie in the darkness around them. She looked at the massive machine, flinching at the sight. It was a large rusted looking thing that strangely resembled a goat skull, quite disturbing to say the least. Multiple pipes rose outward to who knows where. The darkness surrounding the machine only frazzled her already anxious nerves while she glanced over to her skeleton, her mind buzzing with nervous anticipation.
