The blue world warped and twisted around you and Sans at an unimaginable rate, as your surroundings blended into a bright orange and red twirl of unrecognizable whirls, it seemed as if it was worse this time.

But it stopped just as soon as it started, and although it made your stomach churn giving a sick feel to you, you were glad you could travel back so fast.

Right as the spinning stopped and you could register where you were a big unhappy croak blurted out "(Ribbit) Where on earth did you go?! Do you even realize how long you were gone? An hour! Almost two!"

Wow...

You hadn't even been back for a second and Froggit was already on your case. It gave your still spinning head a headache as your body slumped over in dismay. Sans took note of this and stepped forward casually and stared down at the little monster at his feet "Why are you so bent outta shape about this?" Sans asked innocently blocking the monsters view of you. Froggits face twisted in anger while his neck was poisitioned in an uncomfortable way too look Sans in the eye "That insane fish thought you had run away and she got so fricking angry she smashed almost everything that was close to her in her bed."

He sat back and extended his legs to show a big bruise "She only stopped when she realized she threw me a couple minutes after!" He said, his face was turning red with anger from not being able to do anything. You smiled a tilted smile at his reaction "Okay, should I go and tell her I didn't run away?" You asked with a chuckle and started on your way with Sans walking along with you. Froggits eyes widen and he seemed to fumble a bit with his words and raced in front of you "W-Well, she calmed down quite a bit!"

You shrugged "You got hurt because of a silly misunderstanding so It's the least I can do." You maneuvered around him, but he seemed strangely persistent.

"B-But uh...she probably won't even remember that it happened because she was in a blind rage!" He said running through your legs, standing in your way again and outstretched his front legs as if to stop you. You frowned, a bit confused down at the frog monster. Sans frowned as well, but not in a confused manner, in an almost untrusting way "That seems very out of character for Undyne, she always knows what she does, and would never hurt a monster."

Froggits face turned even more red as he ran out of words. Between you finding reasons to talk to the fish and Sans critiquing everything he says about her, he wouldn't be able to say anything realistic to keep you from entering.

You stepped around him and gently pushed open the door to see Undyne laying down in her bed calmly as Alphys and Frisk stroked and braided her red hair. Undyne looked as though she was about to fall asleep. It was adorable, they even started to put a few un-tastefully placed barrettes and ribbons in it (mostly from frisk)

You stepped in making the two who were playing with her hair to look at you. Frisk smiled and motioned for you to come in but Alphys quickly looked away and started with Undynes hair again. The blue fish grunted a bit at the absence of one of her hair stylists hands and opened her yellow eye. As it landed on you, you gave a small smile. To your surprise Undyne returned it with a toothy grin and waved for you to come in "Well if it isn't my greatest opponent. What's up? You here to play with my hair like these losers too?"

Alphys blushed bashfully as Frisk frowned a bit but shrugged it off passively. "Uh.. Actually no." You laughed and walked in. "Then what're ya here for?" She asked as her gaze followed you "well-" you started but Sans grumbling voice cut in. "IHop over there says you threw him at a wall in 'blind rage' because you thought Y/n ran away." he said with a bit of sarcasm evident in his voice. Undyne raised a brow "but... I didn't even notice they were gone!" She looked over at you "no offence." You shook your head dismissively and leaned your body on the oddly smooth, bleached looking walls "None taken."

You stopped for a moment then a small frown fell upon your complexion "But then, why did he get all mad at me for not being here?"

Sans rolled his eyes and groaned "i bet Froggits decided that you are a little better than what he used to think of you."

You snapped your gaze to him, and before you could shoot down that theory he persisted with it "think about it kid." Sans grinned and slung an arm around your shoulders and let his hand float from one side to another while he spoke "Froggit has really taken a liking to you, otherwise he wouldn't have been so upset about you being gone for so long with someone else."

Alphys perked up "w-wait. Who w-were you wi-with?" She asked you timidly with a bit of hope behind her voice

Sans grinned at her and pointed to his chest with a boney thumb "yours truly."

The little fangirly monster felt herself blush a bit and as her breathing started to sound a bit ragged and a little heavier, she turned away and curled herself into a little ball while fanning herself with a dopey smile on her face and each word she spoke got higher and higher as they were spoken "I ship it so hard!" Although she wasn't a fan of you, in fact she was almost terrified of you, that didn't stop her from shipping and fangirling over her one of her new OTPs alongside a shipping of Papyrus and a certain flamboyant robot she knew and loved.

Sans continued on with his reasoning, ignoring the strange dinosaur related monster's actions and loud raspy breathing.

"And he lied about Undyne hurting him so he could have an excuse to be mad, and every time I am around you he seems to get pretty protective of you." He said poking your shoulder.

You weren't so sure how to handle the newly given information, it seemed pretty plausible but then again ever since you had met Froggit he seemed to be a dickbag towards you and... Well... basically everyone except Whimsun, mostly because she was an emotional time bomb and probably didn't want to deal with her crying all the damn time. But you still loved her.

A moment passed as you tried to think of what to say, in fact, you didn't know if you could! to think that the little frog you knew for the whole journey had grown to fancy you. It was odd and a unsuspecting to say the least.

Undyne then started to jump to a few conclusions right along side the skeleton as Alphys was getting a little rowdy about the possibility of Froggit thinking up ways to sink her new ship.

But there was another unwelcome voice

Oh my, looks like you got a little admirer!

You cringed

Cut it out already!

The child's demonic little giggle echoed in your tormented mind

Oh poor little y/n! It's just sooo difficult to be crushed on.
Ah help! Im y/n! I just made out with a skeleton and now a widower frog has a crush on me! What's a lil ol' human to do?!?

Their sarcasm was pumped full of amusement. You sighed to yourself and said very dryly.

You really enjoy being an asshole don't you.

Oh it's just so fun!

Okay I'm getting real tired of your shit!

Hehe! Oh don't worry, I'll be outta your hair soon enough, or rather, you'll be out of mine.

Before you were able to question what they meant by that, a low and soft rumble echoed throughout the whole lab, which hushed all the loud bickering amongst the monsters.

"What was that?" Sans asked and looked to you. You frowned in confusion as a response as everyone waited for it to happen again.

It did, but it was much louder as if a giant worm was wriggling around beneath the ground. Undyne gripped Alphys' lab coat sleeve to get her attention and grumbled "what the hell was that?" Alphys shook her head helplessly "I-I don't kn-know, it can't b-be an e-e-earthq-quake, it's stopping a-and starting s-so it has to be s-some sort o-o-of... Erm... Monster." Undyne said eyes flashed with a momentary look of fear but quickly changed to rage. She as about to stand until Sans turned to her swiftly and stuck out a hand that froze her in place "Don't move." He slowly looked to Alphys "Get Frisk and that frog over here, now as fast as you can without running" he murmured through clenched teeth, as if to try and not move much at all. Alphys nodded and shuffled carefully out to the living room

The chilling tone of his voice made you realize that something terrible was about to happen, and you knew it had something to do with Chara. Your heartbeat started to pick up, as did your breathing and adrenaline. Your scalp started to worm out two white horns very sluggishly, although you kept the urge to let go at bay you couldn't stop you fear. You knew what Chara was going to do, she was waiting for this moment for the moment when your instincts have to kick in.

Before you knew it you were trembling. Terrified of whatever was underneath your feet, yes, but more so of what you might do of Chara is able to win the controls of your mind.

Sans peered over at you, as a scared-out-of-your-wits look resided on your expression filled face. He felt his soul move around uncomfortably at the look of terror on you. If you were scared, he was definitely scared, but he tried not to let it show as he quietly intertwined his cool hand into yours. You looked down at his hand in yours and then looked back up to him who was wearing an understanding yet somewhat brave look, almost saying 'you can do this.'

Alphys, Frisk and Froggit tiptoed in and Sans let Undyne go from his telekinetic hold on her and she flopped back into the fluffy bed helplessly out of breath from her injury having the impact on it.

But she kept quiet.

So did the rumble.

Frisk looked around, unsure of what was going on. They gently nudged Alphys with a questioning expression all along their face. It looked as if the little dinosaur was about to faint from fear, and right as she opened her muzzle to hush the child the rumble returned but far more intense along with a roar embroidered in the loud noise, it sounded like the roar of an angry Tyrannosaurus-Rex crossed with a Pterodactyl and possibly a bat.

Sans pulled you close to him and grabbed onto the bed, he hollered "HOLD ON!!"

No one had to be told twice, because once he yelled that everyone grabbed onto the bed he was holding in his grasp, and before you knew it the world melted together into a big blur and hardened into someplace new, which appeared to be the outside of the lab, a hot muggy feel attacked your whole body and you instantly felt even worse, but only when your eyes adjusted you could see the lab that stood before you.

But it wasn't long before what caused the rumbling emerged from the Earth and shot skyward, it was like a gigantic s/c worm with millions of nail like teeth, seven full, green tongues and a flower growing on its head. It came from the base of the lab up with a terrorizing screech causing the whole party to cover their ears in pain, it's maw could nearly fit the whole building inside as it made the lab tumble into rubble with two snaps of its jaw while the tongues were busy circling around its dry, crumbling meal filled to the brim with data and anime.

All anyone could do was watch in awe and horror as the the beast chowed down on Alphys' home of which it seemed hellbent on consuming. Within the minute of constant crumbling and chewing the beast had already gone back underground, leaving only a large hole in memory of the lab. but you spotted a strange lump as if it had a butt, but it was only one random lump and at the end it had five little strange lumps.

Alphys covered her mouth as tears started to fall out of her eyes from the unexplained act of total destruction. A thin smell of dust now floated about and the far away and fading sound of the monster.

Scared yet? Oh wait! Yes you are.

You didn't bother snapping back at Chara, you were way passed confused and scared and even a little grossed out by the monster that just took away the lab in less then a minute. You only stared at the absence of the bleached white lab and then spoke a shaky sentence while your knees rattled a bit from the unexpected occurrence "What the fuck was that!?"

Sans looked over at you while his left eyes glow died down, he sat himself down in the hot dirt, exhausted from teleporting so many people at a time. "It was that flower you hate."

Before you could testify against his theory he turned to Undyne who was holding a sobbing Alphys to her body protectively and soothingly rubbing her back. Frisk hopped off of the out of place hospital bed and started to scribble in the dirt with a stick they had found. "You saw the vines coming out of its mouth. Didn't you?" He asked with more a stating way of speech, you took note that the green things were not tongues. Undyne growled in response "That was no ordinary shit." Her voice sounded like venom as she glared straight ahead of her, as if intimidating everything in general.

Quietly you looked down at your hands skin tone and noted it was the same shade of the misshapen monster. "That thing, it almost looked like..." You peered down to your brassy metal foot, with its pipes of your ligaments and muscle along with its own mechanisms, you perked your head up and scanned the desert-like environment, having only a small stained area of where yours and Undynes blood was spilled but you failed to find any trace of a, by now, pale, shrivelled foot (possibly on fire from the uncanny heat)

But instead there were strange lines in the blood soaked soil. Almost as if a little monster with no legs were trying to move past but kinda just flopped around or someone were just playing around in it.

Your mind settled on the middle ground of those two possibilities, and from what sans said about Flowey being just here, you immediately believed it to be Flowey who was in the blood like a child in a small pool. But where did the foot go, was still your question.

You were about to piece it together until Frisk gently hit the bed frame making a light thinking noise which got everyone's attention and they pointed to what they scribbled in the ground

It read:"where do we go now?"

Everyone was silent for a moment until Alphys sat up slightly and let the tips of her claws slip under her glasses to her eyes and push her quiet tears away, she cleared her throat and spoke softly "I know a place."
