"So… Why exactly are we here?"

Sans asked his friends, and adopted human family member Frisk.

"THAT IS A QUESTION I CAN ANSWER BROTHER. WE ARE HERE TO GREET THE NEWEST ADDITION TO OUR BELOVED ABOVE GROUND TOWN."

Frisk nodded her head enthusiastically.

"So… If we are here to greet them… Why are you picking the lock on their front door?"

Sans stretched his limbs and laid down on the soft plush grass that surrounded this house. Now that he thought about it, this house wasn't there the night before.

" You know what, Sans is right. We are doing this MY way! So move it!"

Undyne pushed in front of Papyrus and Alphys.

"UNDYNE THAT MAY NOT BE A WISE-"

Ignoring him completely, Undyne threw one quick punch. The door flew off its hinges and hit the opposite side of the entrance room.

"Oh my, that was much faster!"

Miss Muffet giggled as she patted Frisk's head.

Frisk, seeing the destruction Undyne so easily caused, was filled with determination.

She ran straight inside and took in her surroundings.

The room was simple, with a floor leading up to a few steps. The steps lead to a nice, polished wooden floor, while the floor they currently stood on was made of ugly looking tiles. The door it lead up to was decorated with vines flowing up to a pretty oval shaped window, this window depicted a dragon breathing fire in its center.

And, right before the steps was a sign.

Alphys took a moment to read the fancy handwriting.

"T-this sign says we should take off our shoes before heading in."

"Oops."

Undyne, being the impatient fish she was, already stepped up to the second door. Her dirty shoes staining the previously shiny flooring.

Frisk bounced up the stairs after removing her shoes, Undyne sheepishly took her own off, and the rest followed suit.

Papyrus knocked on the second door, they waited a few moments.

No answer.

"Well I guess no one is home. We should get going, I'm hungry."

Sans turned to leave.

Frisk had other plans.

She took hold of the doorknob, and twisted it.

It opened.

"Oh come on lazy bones! This is just starting to get interesting! Look, the kid opened the door and is already inside!"

Undyne ignored the fact she was inside as well.

"Well. I'm going to wait out here. Tell me if you find the guy or whatever."

"I think I'm going to stay here too, it feels wrong to do this."

Alphys and Sans took a seat in what they guessed was a waiting room, located right after the 'shoe' room. The seats were made of mahogany wood, the padding soft and supple. The two of them immediately fell in love with the seats.

"DO WHAT YOU WILL BROTHER, AND ALPHYS. WE SHALL FIND THE NEW GUY. HE MAY BE IN NEED OF HELP. SO LONG!"

So, Frisk, Undyne, Papyrus and Muffet delved deeper into the house. They drifted through the next doorway into a very large and spacious living room.

There were three couches arranged in a square in the middle of the room, a tv filled the last side of the square. A large rug depicting two dragons intertwining took up most of the room. The far left side of the room held a twisty staircase leading up to the second level of the house.

What caught Frisk's eye most was the beautiful carved statue dragons. They filled her with determination!

"Alright, so I say we split up and search this place! I call Frisk, you two search this floor. Me and my bestie will scour the upstairs!"

Frisk grabbed on to Undyne's pant leg in agreement.

"FINE. YOU GET THE HUMAN THIS TIME. LET'S GO ER, MISS MUFFET."

A giggle was the only response he received.

The two groups split up.

Undyne and Frisk were greeted with a large hallway, doors lined it all the way down to an enormous gate.

Frisk eagerly pulled on Undyne's hand as she pointed to the gate.

"Heh! We think alike you and I! Let's go bust through that awesome looking gate! I bet he is back there!"

With that she threw Frisk over her shoulder and charged forwards at top speed. Frisk accepted her fate, used to such treatment from her bestie.

"EXCUSE ME MISS MUFFET. BUT DON'T YOU THINK THIS HOUSE IS A BIT STRANGE? I HAVEN'T SPOTTED ONE BATHROOM OR KITCHEN THIS ENTIRE TIME. HOW DOES THIS PERSON GET THEIR FILL OF SPAGHETTI!?"

"My dear, what I am puzzled about is this armory. Who has an entire room dedicated to arms and armor, but no kitchen? Perhaps Undyne should have been the one to explore this floor."

Muffet touched a strange, foreign piece of armor. The first thing she noticed was how white its color was. She turned to the armor set next to it and paused.

They were made exactly the same, but this one had some red randomly splattered across it in different spots, what could that be-

"Papyrus dear, I think we have a problem."

"WHAT WOULD THAT BE MISS MUFFET?"

Papyrus dropped the spear he was swinging around and stood by her side.

"I fear the person living here isn't friendly."

Undyne kicked the gate with all her might, the only response she got was a slight shake.

"Shit. This thing is tough! Frisk what should we do?"

Frisk signalled for Undyne to stand back. Rubbed her hands together, jogged in place, then proceeded to gently push against the gate.

It began to open.

Undyne's mouth popped open. Then she let out a loud laugh.

"See?! We make a great team kid!"

The sight that greeted them forced them to stop in their tracks. The room they stood in possessed a sword lying on a stand in the middle of the room. Fireplaces in the shape of dragons heads surrounded the entire place, blazing hot, even though there was no fuel for them to burn off of. Just beyond the sword was a statue of some woman, strong yet kind and lovely looking. This one was obviously painstakingly carved by hand.

Beyond that piles upon piles of treasure lay halfway up the wall.

Frisk and Undyne slowly walked forward. When they reached the sword, which lay right underneath the statues gaze, they stopped.

"See Frisk? Anime is real. I see this kind of sword in them all the time!"

Frisk giggled and nodded her head.

Undyne, without thinking, reached down to grab the hilt of the blade.

She lifted the blade up, and drew it from its scabbard. The entire time she was too transfixed by the weapon to feel Frisk tugging on her shirt and pointing towards the top of the treasure pile.

The blade shone with an otherworldly glow, as if fire ran through its veins. A strange language was etched along the blade, she wondered what it meant.

"Undyne!"

Frisk softly shouted, as if they were in a library.

"What is it you ner-"

Undyne stopped speaking, gold coins were falling down the mountain of treasure like an avalanche.

Slowly, Frisk and Undyne directed their attention to the top of the mountain of treasure. A humanoid creature emerged from the pile, and returned their gaze.

His yellow eyes were only half open, his red hair a mess. He obviously just woke up from a long nap.

He looked the two of them up and down, but when he saw what Undyne was holding, his eyes popped wide open.

" Thieves! Come to take whats mine eh?! I'LL SHOW YOU TO STEAL!"

He dropped to all fours, breathed in deep, and out of his mouth came an enormous cone of fire.

"Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiit!"

Undyne snatched Frisk up and charged out the door, only a split second before the fire scorched them.

"BROTHER. HAVE UNDYNE AND THE HUMAN NOT RETURNED?"

"Nah bro, haven't seen em."

Sans eyes popped wide open at his brothers loud voice. Alphys was still asleep on the opposite chair.

"I wonder where those trouble makers ran off too~."

Muffet mumbled out loud.

Then the house started to shake.

And down the steps they came.

Undyne ran right out the door, snatching each one of her friends up in her arms, before throwing them out side.

They heard the stairs smash and crumble onto the floor.

Undyne tried to slam the door on their pursuer.

She spotted the door she broke before and groaned.

So she began pushing her friends away from the house.

That was all the encouragement they needed after spotting what was chasing them.

The humanoid from upstairs was now completely consumed by his own flames.

"Seems like he is hot on our trail!"

Sans yelled out as they sprinted away from their pursuer.

"SANS! THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME!"

Frisk turned around and threw a few tufts of grass in their hunters direction.

Muffet grabbed her by the back of her shirt and dragged her along.

The group took a sharp turn and hid behind a large bolder, about a few hundred feet away from town.

"Okay why is this person trying to kill us?"

Alphys whispered angrily.

"Maybe it has something to do with the incredibly valuable sword the silly fish is carrying?"

Muffet pointed out, also whispering.

Undyne's head snapped to her hand so fast, it looked like she broke her neck.

"I thought I dropped this awhile ago!"

"UNDYNE! STEALING IS WRONG!"

Papyrus's sudden shouting made all of them flinch.

Shortly after the bolder they were hiding behind turned red, then exploded into millions of tiny shards. Sending the gang flying in all different directions.

The fire guy stood behind the rock, scowling.

"Tell me who sent you and I may let you live!"

Undyne's protective spirit kicked in at his final few words.

"Look dude you didn't even give us a chance to explain, I wasn't going to steal anything!"

She threw him his sword and summoned a spear with her magic.

And without another word the two warriors charged.

Sans used his magic to float everyone further away from the scene just in case something bad happened.

Undyne slashed to his right side, he parried this with his sword.

Undyne observed he was a lefty while swiping at his chin with the butt end of her magic spear.

He headbutted it away with all of his might.

This guy was really angry.

He immediately went on the offensive, using powerful two handed slashes.

He slashed vertically.

Undyne dodged, and went to counter.

Before she could, he followed up with a stab.

Undyne blocked and stumbled backwards.

His next attack swiped right for her neck.

Undyne ducked and took the spear stance Asgore taught her, thrusting at him a few times to try to give herself some breathing room.

He backed off a few paces. And began eyeing her up and down.

"You are no joke for sure, fish monster. Yet, I still sense something within you, forcing you to doubt your capabilities. You will not win against me."

"Big talk for someone who's about to get skewered!"

Undyne charged, summoning a few more spears to shoot towards him.

He took this as a sign to up his game, and shot a fireball out of his mouth.

The two met in the midst of an intense explosion.

After a few exchanges, the fire guy began to gain the advantage.

A few of his slashes made shallow cuts on Undyne's skin and she was panting.

"Hey, when did this become an anime?"

Sans asked out loud.

They all ignored him and continued to cheer on their friend.

"Undyne don't give in! You can do it!"

"We believe in your strength dearie!"

Frisk throws more grass.

"N-no I mean really, wasn't this about stealing?"

Undyne is filled with determination, knowing her friends stood behind her.

"Alright! I'm not going to hold back any more! Get ready you little punk!"

Spears shot at the fire person in all directions as Undyne engaged her opponent, whom fiercely fought back.

Undyne surprised her opponent by throwing a swift front kick, he stepped back a few feet, and that's when Undyne unleashed a powerful attack.

Small spears shot at him from all sides and met in the middle at the same exact time. An echoing boom resounded throughout the valley.

A few moments of silence passed as Undyne tried to look into the dust to see if it was over.

She felt the pommel of his sword smash against her chin, in the next moment she felt his leg sweep hers out from under her.

She slammed right into the ground, then felt his blade rest against her neck.

"Give up Fish Warrior. I do not wish to kill-"

A tuft of grass lodged right in his mouth before he could finish his sentence.

Frisk posed victoriously.

At the same time, Papyrus started running forwards, a large bone club held in both hands.

"UNDYNE NOOO!"

Papyrus tripped falling face first.

The bone was sent flying towards the fire guy.

It smashed straight into his crotch, he fell to one knee, spitting out grass with an angry growl.

Papyrus's foot sent Muffet's cup full of spiders flying onto the humanoid fire man's head. Little spiders quietly muttered apologies while climbing off of him.

Surprisingly he didn't ignite to kill them all.

Undyne sat and stared, trying to get over her apparent loss while holding in her laughter.

Sans turned around to avoid being caught laughing himself.

Alphys ran to Undyne's side to check on her, silently.

And so, one of the most tense silences of all their young lives began. Everyone held the same pose for over two minutes, watching this man as he trembled slightly.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Then he began to giggle.

This started a chain reaction, in which each one of them started to laugh louder and louder. Until their laughter could be heard all the way in New Grillby's.

"So you fools weren't trying to steal my sacred sword, you were trying to greet me?!"

The six fools, as they were called, nodded their heads.

The seven of them moved to New Grillby's to explain everything and get a bite to eat. After introductions, they explained themselves in as much detail as possible.

"Hm. Well next time don't be so suspicious, breaking people's doors down, touching their important items without permission… That's incredibly rude. Though I can't say it wasn't fun."

Lucifer, as he named himself, took a few gulps of his root beer.

"ER. YES. PLEASE FORGIVE US FOR OUR BEHAVIOR. WE THOUGHT SINCE YOU DIDN'T ANSWER, YOU MAY HAVE NEEDED HELP."

Though no one spoke it out loud, they all knew only Papyrus thought that in the first place.

The rest of them were simply curious.

"I must say you do have great taste in furniture and decorations."

Muffet changed the subject, impressed by the humanoids self control when her spiders were crawling all over him before.

"I agree. Those chairs were more comfortable than my bed."

Sans joked, earning a laugh from everyone but Papyrus.

Lucifer crossed his arms.

"You lot are an interesting bunch. And this little one you guys have, she's got guts to throw grass in my mouth. With such amazing accuracy!"

Frisk felt herself begin to fill with determination.

Undyne wrapped her in an affectionate headlock.

"Of course! She trains with me, so I expect nothing less! Right bestie?"

Frisk had no choice but to nod her head.

Lucifer smiled wide.

"That's another thing, you're capabilities in combat are refreshing. Lately Monsters have been… Anyway. It was fun, even if I did get my ass kicked in the end by a kid, clumsy Skeleton, and a teacup full of spiders."

They all laughed at the memory.

"Y-you guys looked so cool! It was like watching an anime in real life."

Alphys spoke up excitedly.

Lucifer tilted his head to the left.

Undyne on the other hand beamed.

"Wh-what? Really? We looked that awesome?! Oh my gods I hope you taped- I mean. Of course! Not even anime can compare to me!"

Frisk shook her head.

"What?!"

Undyne shouted at the little child, whom giggled in response.

The group ate and chatted a little more, telling Lucifer all they could about the small, growing town. Where the best places to eat and shop were, what they did for work, and they gave him the location of their places of residence.

Eventually they needed to leave, and so it began.

"Although it saddens me to do so, I must return to my bakery. Goodbye friends! It was nice meeting you Lucifer, do stop by my place if you ever wish to relax or try some of my baked goods."

Muffet slid one of her hands on his shoulder as she walked out the door.

Sans was the next to stand up.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to go back to selling hot dogs. You guys kept me away from work for so long, I better hurry… see ya."

Sans slowly walked out of New Grillby's.

Slowly, as in it took him five minutes to get out the door.

"I should go too, have some stuff I want to work on today. I slack off enough as is, see you guys l-later. Undyne, anime will be ready when you stop by tonight!"

Alphys waved goodbye. Undyne waved back with a huge grin.

Papyrus's mouth popped open.

"I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR MY COOKING LESSON! TORIEL IS GOING TO BE UPSET! I MUST GO!"

After finishing his loud announcement, he dived right out a nearby window.

They heard Grillby mumble a few silent curses.

"Man, am I the only one without work today? Guess it's my job to watch this little punk for now. You guys want to go punch mountains or something?"

Both of Undyne's companions nodded their heads yes.

And so ended yet another life or death experience, in friendship.
