Colors Of The Soul

Ch. 24 Killer On The Loose

"What the... " There was mass chaos from what the two skeletons could see. Fires were being put out, and there were construction crews across the city. "What happened here?" Inky blinked in confusion. They'd only left the city a couple of days ago because Aria had wanted to visit someone who had dropped into this AU but was on a different content so that he avoided bumping into this universe's Sans.

"Looks like a tragedy of some kind. Let me see if I can pick anything up from the code logs." Aria commented, her usually purple eye lights seemed to blend to silver as she was looking at something that even Inky wouldn't be able to see. After a moment she scowled, and the silver left her eye lights.

"What is it?"

"Chara. Looks like she is out to make trouble in this world."

"Should we do something?"

"Normally I'd say no, but ... "

"But?" She sighed.

"They've been through enough with Chara, they deserve the happy ending they've been struggling to make. You know how I am." Inky smiled a little, kissing her cheek and bringing a soft lavender blush to her cheeks.

"Yeah... I do. You want everyone to be as happy as you."

"Everyone deserves a chance at it... no matter what they've done. Stars know you've given me a chance more than once."

"Let's not dwell on the past. What's our first move?"

"We find the monsters first. No doubt we'll need to speak with them and find out what the full details are."

"Where would they be?"

"One of two places in the underground."

"Fun."

"Yep."

"After you." She smiled a little at the portal he'd made, His magic was always beautiful to her. She intertwined her phalanges with his, and they both stepped into the portal that would take them to their destination. The first place to look... Snowdin.

Back at the safe place, Sans was watching his brother pace; Mettaton was too. Ever since the news most of the group had been quiet. As Sans was relaxing, he got a text message on his phone. He glanced at it.

P1: Saw the city. We're heading your way.

Foxtrot: you 're still here? i thought you left.

P1: Went to meet up with an old friend. Yes, we're still here.

Foxtrot: know where we are?

P1: Sort of, we're looking in Snowdin at the moment... or the forest instead.

Foxtrot: we're in the waterfall.

P1: Alright, we'll be there shortly.

Chara went the long way round to Snowdin since the bridge was out.

"I hate this place..." She scowled.

"If you hate it so much why not just leave and never come back?" Frisk said, Chara laughed.

"Then who would have the pleasure of torturing you than Frisk..." She could burn the town down for all she cared.

"Not like you needed to come down here for that." Firsk grumbled back.

"My pain needs to be their pain," Chara said solemnly before moving through the silent town.

Chara took a chance the opportunity to walk into Sans' house and set it ablaze, releasing gas from the oven to do so.
