Story of Monsters

Story of Monsters continues

but, a long time ago I was asked to protect and guide the next human that comes through here, I promised. Frisk, do you know what would have happened if I hadn't promised?" His eyes flashed black "you'd be dead where you stand. "Frisk nodded at his friend hugging him tightly. "I know Sans, you and Papyrus are good and loyal." Frisk sighed, " I know I'm the last soul the King needs, mom told me." Sans nodded a little sadly wiping his eyes and getting up he helped Frisk to his feet. "I forgive you Sans, for everything, you were following orders." Frisk hugged his friend again and turned to watch Papyrus as the door opened. "Hey Papyrus! What are you doing here? You've already had your training today AND your cooking lesson." Undyne stood in the doorway in a black tank top and jeans her black eye patch she was given as a 6 year old, her last day on the surface, barely covering the empty eye socket where her eye was taken by a human. "Undyne my friend, I brought Sans and a friend to hang out with you." Undyne chuckled 'you may be kind and forgiving Paps but you will make one heck of a guard one day, you're strong and I'm proud of you.' She thought happily. "Sans! Hi punk, what're you doing over there? Come on and introduce me to your little friend there." Sans brushed himself off "c'mon kid, be brave." Sans whispered to Frisk as he walked over to Undyne. Frisk turned to walk behind him when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimmering figure smile at him and disappear, 'Princess Ivy' Frisk and Chara thought in unison as he walked to stand in front of Undyne, Captain of the Royal Guard. "Hey there, I'm Undyne, Captain of the Royal Guard, nice to meet......" Undyne's voice trailed off as she saw this handsome 10 year old standing in front of her, tears started in her eyes as she remembered each human that was killed, all mirrored in this boys kind eyes. "Hello Captain Undyne, my name is Frisk, I know you've been looking for me, for the King, I'm the last soul you need." Everyone stood stunned at this brave child standing in front of the underground's greatest heroine. "Well....um....that can wait Frisk, would you, like to come in? I'll call Alphys and tell her I'll be over to the lab later." Frisk nodded smiling, "thank you Captain." Undyne chuckled at the polite boy and ruffled his hair gently, "Frisk please, call me Undyne." Hours pass by with Undyne, laughing and just enjoying good company. Frisk flipped a long blue spear around that Undyne had given him. "Ngah! Enguarde punk." Undyne said laughing summoning her own blue spear and clashing with Frisk. "Hahahaha this is the best Undyne!" Frisk laughed blocking her spears over and over. "Well punk, if you're going to meet the King soon, I want you to know how to defend. King Asgore Dreemurr may be a big fuzzy pushover but he is hurting and feels like this is the only way out." Frisk smiled happily at his new friend. "Thank you for this Undyne, but I had a question?" Frisk said "sure Frisk, what's up punk?" Frisk put down his spear for a minute and looked up at the Captain. "I know it's your job as Captain to either kill me and take my soul or chase me to the King so he can take my soul, so why are you becoming my friend? Won't that hurt you more to kill me?" Undyne sighed and bent down to Frisk, "it's NEVER been easy for me to kill, punk, Asgore and I hate it, every moment of it." Undyne sighed, "our people are loosing hope, and the King felt that this was the only way to free us, while making humans pay for killing his children a long time ago." Undyne chuckled sadly wiping a tear from her eye, "you kinda remind me of him, the way you fight, your kind eyes, you're more than just a wimpy loser, you're a wimpy loser with a big heart." Frisk laughed and tapped Undyne lightly on the shoulder as he stood to go with his friends. "See ya around Undyne!" Frisk said as he, Sans and Papyrus teleported away. "See ya, Punk!" Undyne said softly as she walked out the door and headed to Hotland. U...Undyne! I'm so glad you're here, I thought you hated Hotland." Alphys kissed her girlfriend happily. "I do Alphys, Hotland sucks, but I wanted to see my beautiful girlfriend." Undyne chuckled dryly sitting down hard at the table beside a computer Alphys rescued from the trash zone that she'd brought back to life. Undyne glanced at it and smiled, it was showing some sort of puzzle in Snowdin, 'of course'. "A...are you o..ok honey?" Alphys stammered putting her arm around Undyne who turned and smiled at her. "Not really doc." Undyne said, "baby, what would you do if you've killed so many people that it's second nature to you, but killing innocents.....gets to you, what happens when the greatest battle is inside, trying to silence the voices in my head saying that real hero's don't have to fight, am I a real hero anymore Alphys, or just a murderer?" Undyne started to cry sinking to her knees in pain. "Shhhh Undyne, i....I'm here, o... of course you're a r...real hero." Alphys said calmly stroking Undyne's hair as she cried on her shoulder. Frisk looked up and saw a clean white lab in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief, Hotland was perfectly named, it was so hot here he was almost melting. He knocked on the door. "C...come in" called a stuttering voice. Frisk walked into a clean cool lab, it took him seconds to take in what was happening. Undyne, his new friend was kneeling sobbing on, who he figured was Alphys's shoulder, "Undyne!" Frisk cried running to his friend. "Hi Alphys, I'm Frisk." He said taking Undyne's head in his hands and looking at her, tears streaming from her eye. "Frisk, why do you care so much about me? I was supposed to kill you, take your final soul to King Asgore so he could become a god and break the barrier, you refused to ever hurt me even knowing all this. Truth is Frisk, I don't want to hurt you either, I never wanted to hurt anyone...." Undyne broke off as her body shook with sobs again. "Undyne please, don't do this to yourself, I know the whole story and I love and care about all of you. I'm here to set everyone free." Undyne looked down ashamed, "Undyne you are the Heroine of the underground, I know everything you've done and I STILL believe that." Frisk sat down and began his long story about how he learned about the underground and decided to get the monsters side, and help them. Toriel paced the ruins back and forth wringing her hands, "I shouldn't be here, I should go after my son." Toriel ran to the exit to the ruins just barely noticing a gleaming figure watching her from the hallway, "I won't fail Ivy, I promise you my daughter, I will save your brother. "Sans and Papyrus were walking towards home when a woman in a purple dress ran by, "Paps I'll be back," Sans said teleporting after the woman. "Howdy Papyrus!" Papyrus jumped and looked down "Nyah! Talking flower you scared me. What have you heard?" Flowey chuckled "the human is almost at Asgore, you need to get to Alphys and mettaton now!" Papyrus nodded and immediately teleported to Hotland. "Heya, where are ya running off to?" Sans asked the woman. "I know that voice!" She said slowing down, "I know your voice too." He said. "Names Sans, Sans the Skeleton" Toriel smiled, "I haven't seen you in years Sans, it's me Toriel." Sans smiled into the kind face of his Queen, "I'll be right back my Queen." Toriel nodded and Sans teleported to his lab, 'please let it work this time, we need him' he thought tears starting in his eyes as he begged nothing in particular, for this to work. "Impossible, how did he?" Gaster muttered to himself as he watched his body return its physicality and the door glowed a bright white and just like that Gaster was standing in front of his eldest son. "Heya dad" Sans said smiling up at the kind face. "Heya son, did ya MIST me?" He asked embracing Sans with tears in his eyes. "Heh let's a-Void the jokes for now, we need you and your help will come in handy." Gaster chuckled, "what do you need son?" Sans smiled "Paps has been telling me about this weird talking flower, I don't trust it. Could you teleport with me to the souls and just check it out?" Gaster hugged his son tears streaming down his face again at the thought of his Great Papyrus. "Of course son, let's go. "King Asgore looked up surprised from watering his flowers and turned around not noticing the two figures teleporting to the soul containers. "Howdy! You must be the human that everyone is talking about. I've heard so much about you, you've made a lot of people love you, even my Captain loves you human child. How is that possible? Humans are supposed to be cold and cruel, they...." Asgore's voice faltered. "They murdered my children and the grief caused my wife to loose our unborn child, I swore to end our suffering, I..." Asgore dropped to his knees in tears just as everyone started to show up. Frisk seeing Asgore drop to his knees ran to him kneeling in front of him. "I'm here to free everyone, but I can't do it alone." Frisk turned to the shadows, "are you sure you want to do this Chara?" "Yes" Asgore heard a familiar answer and out stepped a ghostly figure of an 8 year old boy. "Hi dad, I wanted to see you one more time, I love you." Toriel let out a small cry. "HI mom, I love you too. Please forgive dad, you're a family now." Toriel nodded tears in her eyes. Chara bent down to a flower that just popped up and called behind him, "you two hiding in the shadows, take care of your family ok, love you guys, all of you." Chara took out the remnants of her soul and showed it to everyone, the rainbow colors were beautiful. "When Frisk fell here, my mind woke up inside her and during our journey my soul gained traits enough to survive even after dad uses the other souls and this one to break the barrier." Gaster and Sans stepped forward at that to the gasps and tears of everyone. Chara turned to Frisk, "hey Frisk, take care of mom dad and Azzy k bro?" Frisk nodded as Gaster and Sans teleported the six souls to Flowey and Chara put his soul with them. With a flash of white light a crack was heard and a small goat looking child was standing there. "Hey Azzy," Chara smiled. "Hey Chara" Asriel said tears in his eyes. "Heh you always were such a crybaby Asriel. Take care of my soul ok?" With that Chara vanished leaving everyone to hug and get reacquainted, ready to head to the surface. "Hey my Great Papyrus!" Gaster said pulling Papyrus and Sans into a tight hug as the skeleton family wept, Asgore, Toriel and Asriel hugged Frisk laughing, life was going to be perfect. Sans got a chill and felt a pain in his soul as if it had been ripped out. Sans kept it to himself as everyone happily went to the surface unaware that across town a creature, disguised as a child awoke, "don't worry, I'll keep my promise, humans and monsters will never live in peace" the creature laughed pink eyes glowing in the shadows.
Asriel woke up, the sun beating on his furry head, he yawned and rubbed his eyes. " Man, this morning seems very happy, the happiest ever in three years, I better enjoy it because it'll be one that won't come again for a while.. " He thought as he walked out of his room. Gaster was sipping coffee from his favorite mug, one that was once shattered but is now fixed, it reminded him of his once sad self and he loved it so much because it shows him how far he's come. " Hey Gaster, good morning to you. " Asriel said with a scratchy voice, he needed some water to make his voice a bit more pleasant. " Oh, hello Asriel, how is today going, because I may be wrong but you seem a bit happy since that final battle.. " Gaster replied. " Yea, I'm not sure what's making me so happy, Is Papyrus up? I need to ask him a question. " Asriel asked whilst drinking a glass of water from the tap. " I'm afraid he is not, I'm a little worried, he may wake up a bit later than usual now, but this is much later than usual.. " Gaster said with a worried look on his face. Asriel looked a bit down " Oh, okay maybe later, I'm gonna head around town and enjoy the day, good luck with the election! " Asriel called heading out. " Thanks, I hope you enjoy your day as well " Gaster said reading his speech again to memorize it. Asriel headed out of the house and thought about why he was happy then he realized, Sans, who is dead once asked him to stay happy for him, remembering this filled Asriel with even more joy, a single tear falling across his face, a tear of joy. He'd walk past the police station, where he could hear the police training, and he stopped at a flower shop. " Hey Ms. May, it seems your flowers are blooming quite well! So well in fact I'd like a few! " Asriel said with a grin on his face. " Oh well isn't that sweet, I started using new fertilizer, I'm hoping it'll make them last longer. " Ms. May responded. " Huh, seems to be working quite well so far, so how much for this bouquet? " Asriel asked pointing to a bouquet elegantly wrapped with a assortment of flowers ranging between all kinds of colors. " Oh, that one is filled with many rare flowers, well a bit more rare than the others, that'll be 50 dollars. " She said sweetly. " Huh, for something this gorgeous I must say it's quite cheap, Lemme get the money.. " Asriel responded, grabbing two twenties and one ten, and after handing her the money he'd take his bouquet and leave waving goodbye to Ms. May. After visiting the shop, Asriel visited Rave, to check up how the police training is going. " Hey Rave ,I noticed your police started training again, how's it going? " Asriel asked with a puzzled look on his face. " Oh yeah, it's been going well, I'm training them before election so if the new mayor isn't fit for the job, the police will at least be prepared. " Rave answered with a weak smile on his face. " Oh really? Huh that's nice of you to do for the next mayor, I'm sure they'll be happy they have one less thing to juggle on their first days. " Asriel said, laughing a bit. " Yeah, thanks for that, that made my day hearing that if I'm honest. " Rave said with a small frown now on his face his eyebrows diagonal showing the expression of sadness. " Oh well, I'm glad I made your day, but why is it your sad recently? " Asriel asked, concerned for Rave. " Well it's just been so stressful being Mayor and recently I feel bad I took the job as it was originally Jessica's, and while it was rightfully mine, I still regret taking it, it should've gone to her, but sadly she's dead.. " Rave said starting to cry. " It's okay, I know how you feel, I've been sad recently to, after what happened at the final battle 3 years ago. " Asriel said, with a weak smile plastered on his face as a few tears fell. " But the past is the past and we can't change it, we can only accept it and move on, completing the things the dead wanted before they passed. " Asriel said with a grin. " Thanks ,I needed that alot right now... well I better get finishing my speech, have a good day Asriel. " Rave said now showing a big grin. " Anything to help a fellow affected by Betty's tirade, and I will enjoy it, good luck with your speech.. " Asriel yelled as he headed out into the forest to continue training. Papyrus would wake up with a groan, his head hurts and he wished it would stop. He fell out of bed and got up, he barely got any sleep but he needed to be awake for Gaster's big day. He'd walk out of his room into the kitchen where he enjoyed some coffee to wake him up. " Hey Gaster, how this fine day treating you? " Papyrus would say with a sigh. " Because for me it's not going so well. " Papyrus would sigh. " Oh glad you're up, it has been a. It worrying until you awoke, why are you up so late? " Gaster asked. " Well making that speech took so long I had to stay up late, I hope it's good enough. " Papyrus responded. " Oh I see, yes this speech should very well do, I'm sure it'll work, thank you Papyrus. " Gaster said with a small smile. " I'm glad.. " Papyrus said half asleep. " I wanted to know if you wanted to visit sans grave today.. " Gaster said out of the blue. " I would very much enjoy that.. " Papyrus said, thinking of sans. " Good, let's head there now, I don't have much more time till my speech. " Gaster said putting on his coat. " Okay yeah, better get it out of the way so we can both finish the day. " Papyrus said eating some cereal. After his breakfast Papyrus put on a jacket and walked with Gaster to san's grave, it was silent, but pleasant. After they got to the grave, Gaster and Papyrus mourned Sans and remembered the good times. " I remember when he would always have me drag him to his station every day for work.. " Papyrus said chuckling a bit at the memory. " I remember, when you snapped him out of that trance Betty had him in, it made me so happy he was back. " Gaster said smiling while tears dropped slowly from his face and eventually falling off. " I just wished I could've protected him from whatever killed him... " Papyrus said as he started to cry. " I wish I hadn't injected him with determination, it must've put him through so much pain.. " Gaster replied. " But we must forgive ourselves, the past is something we cant change and we must accept it... we didn't know that he would die, we didn't know what determination would do to him, besides.. " Papyrus would start. " If I forgave you and Sans most definitely forgave you, can't you forgive yourself Dad? " Papyrus asked closing his eyes, hugging Gaster with a big smile on his face. " ..... Yeah... " Gaster replied, as he smiled at the thought of being called dad then embracing the hug. Gaster couldn't help himself, he'd been repressing sans for a while and to let it out with someone who new him just as well felt really nice, he enjoyed it. And hour later the speeches commenced, Rave was up at the podium giving his speech. " Hello citizens, it's been a bit hasn't it? Well today is election day thus I must give a speech if I want to be Mayor again.. I will be honest, it's been stressful, I'm not exactly sure if I want it again exactly, especially since we have a famous scientist that built a huge generator fueled by lava powering a whole new world down the mountain that will last years upon years, but I guess I should try my best shouldn't I? Anyway if you choose to elect me, I will personally make sure that all cops receive the best magical training to further our protection from them. If you choose to elect me, then I guess you'll have me as mayor.. I'm not sure what else I'd do, but I guess you'll have to find out.. " Rave said as he walked off into the crowd, waiting to here Gasters speech. Gaster walked up, papers in hand, he'd set it on the space he had, he looked into the crowd a bit anxious, only to see Papyrus wearing a shirt, saying " You got this, Dad, it was hand knitted and tears fell when Gaster saw it, it felt nice having a support system like Papyrus, Gaster cleared his throat he had this one chance to read his speech, he should do it now, Gaster started reading, " Hello citizens, its Gaster, now I'm sure since the Betty incident you have a- " " Who's betty? " A citizen shouted Gaster look confused, how could this group forget a tragedy to such a high degree, he turned around seeing movement in the corner of his eye, he saw Chara giving a thumbs up before disappearing. Chara had removed the memories of Betty so the town wouldn't have to live in fear. Gaster got up to try and recover when a loud crack could be heard, the windows shattered and the citizens flew into the cold frosty air, an a newcomer appeared. " Who is the one with the rainbow soul. " He asked, looking around. Asriel quickly landed and said " Why do you want it, and who are you exactly? " The villian laughed and responded " That is not important, now who has i- " He was cut off by Asriel " If I were to give you my soul I'd like to know why and who you are.. " The villian paused before walking through the crowd up to him " So you're the one with the rainbow soul.. " Asriel stood there " Yeah, now who are you? " The villian started at him " I have no name, but I am someone who seeks for power, power to keep my soul stable, soul energy, your rainbow soul, has enough to last my whole life, and I don't have to live in fear of outbursts, like that one that made that crack, I'm sure you don't want that happening again, do you? " Asriel's eyes would close a little " So what your saying is you constantly kill people for their souls all because this one person must live. " Asriel said growling. " Fine be like that, be just like all my victims, all the adults, after the incident. " Asriel looked puzzled " Incident? " The villian chuckled " Yes, the one that gave me an unstable soul, All I did was be at the wrong place at the wrong time, they said it was for the community, only to turn out we were test subjects for an experiment with nothing to do with the community, from the hundred there, only 5 survived, I stole their souls I after I got the news how unstable it was, My dad disowned me, couldn't have someone like him in the world, so I stole his soul, and now go around to- " Asriel asked " What about your mother? " The villian stopped before saying " She's dead, I visited her memorial after stealing Dads soul, I could feel her hug me tightly saying it's okay, If my mom thinks it's okay it must be fine, she was the sweetest person.. " Asriel stopped him " So you think it's okay, because your dead mother said it was even when you most likely just hear things. " The villian responded " I shall respect what she says, and now I got from town to town seeking souls to keep mine stable, I will admit, its something I don't like, but I want to live.. for my mother. " Asriel huffed and said " I'm sorry in that story you're the one who sound like the bad one there, I mean its basically about you got in an accident so you kill people so you may survive to what? Kill more people? " Asriel said, starting to raise his voice. " Just give me your soul you filth. " The villian said pointing to his now glowing soul. " Fight me for it. " Asriel said, summoning his Chaos Sabers. Gaster would be right beside him summoning a Gaster blaster. The villian would summon a sword and clash with Asriel, while Asriel was stronger, he was much faster and could easily dodge his attacks while Asriel could only hope to dodge his. Gaster frowned and fired his Gaster Blaster knocking him to the ground, Asriel then struck him with a lightning bolt, knocking him back. " Hmph, be that way. " He said, charging at Asriel and Gaster, his soul glowing purple. Asriel and Gaster would be hit back into a building, busting the wall and leaving a gap in it. Asriel summoned a Chaos Blaster and started shooting the villian who was blocking all the attacks by swinging his sword around. Asriel was getting tired of this and threw a volley of Fireballs at him. Gaster summoned all the 7 colors and prepared a beam at the villian, the villian saw this noticing the huge strength increase with all seven hands out. He snarled before retreating, he'd be back, stronger and he will get that soul.. Spite Flatline sat in the old abandoned AMD building. He knew this was a safe place to think, to train and get stronger. He HAD to get stronger if he was going to go back and get the soul of that monster.... what was his name again? Asriel yes... "Asriel" Spite whispered "get ready, I'm coming for you. I will wipe out the Dreemurr family if it's the last thing I do. Mother, I swear I will not fail like my cousin did. Betty... I will avenge you, I swear."
