Betty: I... I need a new plan. This mission to stop Agate is really just getting us nowhere... I suppose, though, making a plan won't matter right now. After all, even with my Determination, I still don't think I'll be stronger than Agate the way she is now. I don't really want the help from everyone else, either, especially from Frisk even if he does want to offer it. I might as well just go find and fight her. Alone. To try and finish what we started: Defeating her, once and for all. 

Sans: (walking into the backyard) Betty? You okay?

Betty: ...I suppose.

Sans: Hey, look, don't blame yourself for the argument, okay? We all tried to convince Frisk. 

Betty: ...Sans?

Sans: Yeah?

Betty: Can you do me a favor?

Sans: *sighs* Sure, kiddo. What is it?

Betty: I'm leaving. If anyone tries to come find me, tell them I said not to. 

Sans: Leaving? Why?

Betty: Don't ask. You probably already know where I'm going. 

Sans: (realizing Betty was leaving to fight Agate) Kid, are you crazy? You're going to get yourself killed!

Betty: That doesn't really matter. It's already Ǧ̘̦̕ả̦̱͝ṃ͝e̞̾ ͕̚O̬͐v͖͗é̥ŗ͈̇̀, isn't it?

(Betty then teleports to the city, leaving to find Agate.)

Sans: I'm not letting you go alone, kid. (rushing inside) Hey, G! Undyne! Mind if we talk for a minute?

(While Sans, Gaster, and Undyne prepare to leave to find Betty and Agate, Frisk is in his bedroom thinking about his argument with Betty.)

Toriel: (coming into the room) Frisk?

Frisk: What?

Toriel: Please, come help everyone with plans. Sans, Gaster and Undyne already left, and they won't tell us why. Betty even left without telling anyone but Sans where she was going...

Frisk: I already said I'd go face Agate alone. 

Toriel: My child... please...

Frisk: ...Fine. I'll... I'll be out in a bit. 

(Betty has been walking around the city, trying to locate Agate. She comes across where she and Undyne fought in the nullifier room much earlier in the timeline, noticing Agate standing in the middle of it. She jumps down into the room to face her.)

Agate: ...It's  too bad this nullifier isn't working anymore. I'm a human. You could've destroyed me with it... I know why you've come, Betty. You want your friend's soul back, don't you? 

Betty: (switching to her Determination trait and creating a Sword and Shield of Determination.) Shut up and bring it on. 

Agate: ...Alright, then. Fight me.

(Betty and Agate begin fighting, but, even with Betty's Determination, as Betty had predicted, Agate is still proving to be stronger than her.)

Agate: Oh? Why are you struggling? Is it because you know you won't win this? Or because you're SCARED OF ME?

(Agate then begins beating Betty easily, though as she prepares to kill her, Undyne enters and blocks the attack with one of her spears as Sans uses his telekinesis to throw Agate across the room.)

Undyne: We got your back, Betty!

Betty: Sans, I told you not to follow me!

Gaster: Technically speaking, you only told Sans to tell everyone else not to follow you. You never told Sans himself not to follow you. 

Betty: Ugh, fine, point taken. But if anyone dies, I'm calling it on you Sans!

(Gaster looks at Betty with a confused expression on his face.)

Sans: ...Fair enough. 

(Gaster then looks at Sans with an even more confused expression, then goes back to fighting Agate.)

Agate: Well, this is adorable watching you all argue with each other, but I think it's about time we finish this. 

Sans: You're darn right. 

Agate: Ugh, I've already had enough of you. Besides, I need to stop wasting all my power.

(Agate uses most of the HATE she has, making her more invincible and her attacks more powerful. She prepares many magic blasts to throw at Betty, Sans, Gaster, and Undyne.)

Undyne: Uh...

Gaster: That's a lot of projectiles...

Betty: Stay behind me. I got this. 

(As Agate throws her magic blasts towards Betty and her friends, Betty activates her special attack, Rhabdophobia, and throws the blasts back at Agate, severely damaging her.)

Sans: Nice one. 

Betty: I can already use it again, if need be. 

(However, as the four continue fighting against Agate, she more easily begins to overpower Sans, Gaster, and Undyne, and after casting another hallucination on Betty, Betty actually begins to lose her soul traits (like Frisk in Love: Part 2) which weakens her and is soon stabbed in the chest by a Pink Creature Agate summoned. She holds the attack back a little, but after it cracks the center of her soul, she loses consciousness as Undyne destroys the creature with her spear before it can do any more damage.)

Sans: Kid! 

Gaster: (holding Agate's attacks back) We need to retreat, now. Sans, teleport us back immediately.

(Sans grabs Betty and teleports himself, Betty, Gaster, and Undyne outside the safe house.)

Asriel: (noticing Sans teleporting them back and talking to Jessica, Alphys, and Papyrus) Hey, guys, Gaster, Sans, Undyne and Betty are... back... (noticing Betty's condition) Oh, man... (going to open the door) Mom!

(Toriel comes rushing into the room and sees Betty unconscious, quickly attending to her wound.)

Toriel: Don't worry, she'll be alright.

(Frisk walks into the room, and he quickly notices the state that Betty was in, rushing to the backyard. Gaster notices, and follows him.)

Gaster: (after arriving in the backyard where Frisk already is) Frisk?

Frisk: (voice kinda cracking) What do you want?

Gaster: ...I was going to tell you to try to give Betty another chance, but... what's with your voice?

Frisk: It... This was my fault. I shouldn't have argued with her. Now this has happened...

Gaster: Frisk, don't blame yourself, okay? She's going to be fine. 

Frisk: It's not just that... I know she's been doing good... only to think that I lashed out just because one of my friends could be gone...

Gaster: Look, if it's that way, you have a right to be mad. But we can get his soul back... it'll just... take some time.

Frisk: ...I suppose I don't really care how long that takes... I just want everyone to be safe again...

Alphys: (calling from inside the house) Gaster, you must see this!

Gaster: Don't... suppose you'll come with?

Frisk: *sighs* You know what? Sure, why not.
