Logan's Point of View

I walked with the three to the end of the stone hall, where the sun showed, we entered the sunlight. The knight's shining armor caught my eye. Her red hair flew dramatically in the wind, as she laughed.

"Heh... DO you really think being all nice can save you, humans? Foolish humans. You think you can do something, but you lie. You'll kill someone eventually." She screamed.

"And I'm going to stop that, Approach when you are ready! Your group cannot save you." She screamed, as I looked at the three people with me. Matthew looked at the others with care, Collin bounced up and down ready for the fight, while Red looked distraught, but had a gleam of hope in her dark eyes, but I smiled.

"Let's go!" I said to them. The knight took off her helmet, showing a fish-teen-young adult woman. She grinned, whipping out a blue spear. She leaped down barely, slamming her spear in the dirt.

"Come at me! You won't run away!" Undyne yells, as I felt a sudden anchor on my chest, all four of our souls is in front of us. 

Red's purple hopeful heart, Collin's neon green one filled with enthusiasm, Matthew's caring and concerned blue heart, and my determine red soul. I felt something grow in my hand, a coin that has cat whiskers on it, a small, blue ninja toy grew in Matthew's hand, a simple green circle grew in front of Collin, and Red had a black wolf mask appeared in front of her. 

Undyne smiled from ear-to-ear as spears appeared on all four sides of us. Some closed in, but I deflected them with my coin, as Collin jumped over it somehow.

"Run!" Red said as she took my hand, as Collin too Matthew's. The four of us sprinted away past the fish woman.

"Get back here!" Undyne said as she went in front of me. 

She fired a spear aiming straight at my heart, but I deflected it away, hitting the wall and letting it dissolve. Red hopped out of the way of another spear, while Matthew and Collin blindly sprinted away from the spear's path of death. We sprinted away from her, as Undyne was straight on our tails.

"Sans!" Red yelled, but Sans was asleep. Undyne growled, her eyes focused now on the skeleton. 

In the moment, the four of us sprinted away. Later on, the heat under our feet felt as if we were melting, but we continued on, the determination strong in my heart. Undyne pants, her armor wearing her down, as we crossed the weak wood bridge.

"Too... Hot..." Undyne said as she passed out, a water cooler was out of place, lying next to us. Matthew walked over to it, poured a cup on Undyne's face. Later Undyne got up, looked at us, and walked away.

"We did it..." Collin said panting, lying on the warm floor.

"We got away..." Matthew said looking at Red.

"I can't feel my legs. I feel like I'm melting." Red said giggling.

"We're icicles melting." I said jokingly.

-Time skip to after Undyne was friends with the humans, and now they were back in hot lands again.-

"Hey, look!" Red said pointing at the huge lab a few steps in front of us. It looked like it towered over the four of us, the shadow covering out light. 

We walked towards it, with the doors opening automatically. I heard a small child's goggle, but there was nobody there. Then an orange lizard with glasses and a white lab coat working hard on what looked like a robot, and a guy my height with brown hair, and glasses was working with the lizard. A screen showing me was on the wall, I saw a huge version of me, with my dark brown orbs, and brown hair.

"Oh! I d-didn't expect you to c-come so e-early!" The lizard said as she jumped back, the screwdriver in her hand. She gave us an anxious smile, with the guy next to her turned towards us with a small smile.

"I-I'm Dr. Alphys." The lizard said, as the man looks at us fully.

"Hey, you guys... I'm Jonathan." The man introduced, himself next to Alphys, who was working on a robot right next to her as well.

"Hi, Alphys. Nice to see you again Jonathan." Matthew said smiling, while Jonathan nodded at him, smiling.

"Oh! We watched you! N-Not in a creepy way, I mean... You're Matthew. Y-you weren't in control. That w-was Frisk. No, Chara. Whatever, it's not your fault, either way." She said smiling shyly, Matthew gave a patient smile.

"What are ya looking at?" Red said smiling looking at the robot, Alphys blushed.

"M-Mettaton. You're Red...! You were with Sans and Papyrus! Your jacket is cool. Reminds me of an anime-" Alphys said blushing harder, losing her orange shade, and turning into a tomato-like shade.

"What anime?" Collin said looking at her and grinned ear-to-ear.

"I-I'm rambling." Alphys said giving a little smile.

"You're Collin! Your excitement, I envy you." Alphys said sighing, but Collin simply smiled even wider.

"No problem! I'll show you Papyrus, if you need!" I said with Collin nodding at me, a little flash of happiness grew on Alphys' glasses as she looked at me.

"Y-You're Logan." She whispered a bit.

"Oh my god. You're special, okay? I can't say much without rambling too much, but just remember you're special." Alphys said in a serious tone, and I nodded. 

I had a small daydream of a square robot Alphys worked on lying in pieces, a knife in its center, and a red heart like mine glowing as a child walked away from it, I blinked, and it was gone.

"Anyway, we need your help." Alphys said looking at the five of us in desperation.

"Chara and Frisk are both murderers, both of them chose to do it." She said looking at Matthew calmly.

"Anyway, they were children that fell down here, as far as we know or hope they're dead, but... They can deceive people to kill others. Matthew was a victim of theirs, but you guys helped him recover." Jonathan informed as Alphys nodded at his statement, while staring at Red and I through her shiny glasses.

"They're out on the loose. We're trying to make a defense mechanism to help, his name is Mettaton NEO." Alphys said while both her and Jonathan looked at Mettaton.

"Hmph. So, what can we do?" Red asked, deep in thought.

"Just... Stay near Log- I mean, each other. I don't want you guys falling into their grasps." Alphys said to all of us.

"Okay." Matthew said smiling, as Mettaton turned around and waved.

"Oh, hello! You must be Jonthan and Alphys's friends." He said in a robotic voice, as Alyphys and Jonathan laughed nervously.

"Yeah. Uh, Mettaton, don't you have something to record?" Alyphys asked the robot.

"Oh, yes! Ta, ta!" Mettaton said as he went away. Soon we left the lab, with Jonathan, as Alphys waved goodbye.

"Hello darlings!" Mettaton said rolling up to us.

"I have completed the puzzles for you! You need to get to the KING and escape! You'll be able to do it!" He said to us.

"Wait, do what?" I asked curiously.

"KILL Asgore or DIE. You need to escape, but Asgore needs one more soul to break the barrier and we go free!" Mettaton explained.

"O-Oh..." Matthew said as his eyes lost all of its happiness, as Jonathan was looking shocked.

"More killing...?" Matthew asked looking at the robot with concern.

"Alphys didn't explain this..." Jonathan said concerned.

"I'm sorry, darlings." Mettaton said, as we started the long way to the elevator, where we were lifted up to the three floors.
