The four were sitting around the round table. The four great leaders of the Underworld.

All of them were looking rather nervous except for the skeleton in the royal blue robe, who looked rather calm in fact. However, everyone else was fidgeting and looking unsure. They had a problem on their hands, and something had to be done about it. This meeting would decide exactly what they should do.

A large goat-like creature with big horns raised his hand to speak to the other three. "The Round Table Meeting commences."

Almost immediately a sea-creature, one of the four, suddenly stood up and slammed her fist upon the round table. The other three slightly winced when they heard the splintering of the wood. Luckily, the table held and didn't break.

"I say we get rid of that thing immediately!" She exclaimed. Her eye patch was now looking rather intimidating. An amused snort came from the skeleton. However, the white furred she-goat looked rather uncomfortable at this proposal.

"But what if there's even the slightest chance that the creature is good?" She suggested, "It would be a crime to… execute the innocent."

"Toriel has a point." The skeleton commented in a mildly interested way.

"We shouldn't take chances!" The sea creature repeated, slamming her hand down on the table again. Everyone winced at the agression.

"Now now, everyone, we should all calm down." The goat with large horns proposed. "And you don't have to break the table to prove your point, Undyne." But she wasn't backing down.

"Oh yeah?" Undyne retorted rather infuriatingly, "Well then Asgore, what if the being is a threat?"

"It's fine, we have her in the cell. She can't escape when she's in our hands." Asgore reassured her. "Now how about you sit down and we can all discuss this in a more… calm matter?" Undyne hesitated slightly, then reluctantly sat back down in her chair.

"Fine then, what's the plan?" Everyone's heads immediately turned to look at the skeleton for advice.

As usual, he was looking cool and undisturbed. His empty eye sockets were mysterious and unnerving. He waved his hand around dismissively. "We should wait and see how things turn out, ya know? But… we won't be able to figure out much when she's all alone."

"Sans, what are you proposing?" Asgore asked curiously.

"I say we put someone else in the cell with her, and see how she reacts to it."

"No way!" Undyne had stood up again. However, she did not bang her fist on the table, much to the relief of everyone else. "We're not sacrificing one of our kind to that creature! What if something happens to them?"

"When did I ever say we were doing that?" Sans asked, looking slightly amused, "What I'm trying to say is that we put something else in there… like a fake monster. Maybe a robot one."

"I suppose that could work." Asgore speculated while stroking his black beard. "But where would we get that from?"

Sans looked pointedly at Undyne. "Does Alphys have anything we could use?"

Undyne looked slightly interested. "I don't know, she might. I'll need to check with her. But is this really worth so much trouble? We could just get rid of that monster."

"I've already said no to that." The white goat reminded her sternly, "We will not be doing anything harsh until we're absolutely sure she's a threat to us."

"Toriel is right." Asgore agreed, "So if Alphys can scrap up a robot monster, what would we do then?"

"Throw it into the same cell as the human." The skeleton answered easily with his arms crossed, "We observe what she does. Whether it's to keep her distance or approach and attack, we'll have to see." Toriel nodded in agreement to the plan, and although Undyne looked skeptical, she didn't look as if she was going to veto it.

"So is it agreed?" A nod of heads. "Then Undyne will ask Alphys and see if she can help. Is that alright?" Undyne nodded to Asgore's question. "We will discuss what to do with the robot in our next meeting. Meanwhile, we must all stay cautious. Are we all on the same page?" Another nod of agreement around the table.

"Then the Round Table Meeting is dismissed. I hope you all a good day." As Asgore started to get up, everyone else started getting out of their chairs. Well, everyone but Sans, but that was normal.

Undyne was first out the door, since she was excited to visit Alphys and ask her the favor. Toriel was right behind her, and would soon be returning back to the Ruins in the boat paddled by the River Person. However, when Asgore reached the door, he stopped. Turning around, he noticed that Sans was still leaning back in his chair, and with his feet on the table.

"You going?"

Sans turned his head to look at Asgore, and there was a grin tugging at his face. He winked before disappearing in a flash of blue light. Asgore rolled his eyes before taking this as his cue to leave too. He closed the large door behind him and all was silent. The room was dark and the table empty.

The Round Table Meeting was at an end. For now.
