Sans, something’s wrong. The shaky, soft, shy voice of Kindness rang in his head.

What is it Kindness? Sans asked mentally, stopping.

U-Un-d-dyne is h-hur-rt. Sans was used to Kindness’ stutter and teleported to an area near the place where Kindness hid in Waterfall. Sure enough, Undyne was collapsed on the ground nearby.

“Undyne!” Sans shouted as he rushed over to her. He heard her groan and did a check on her.

UNDYNE

LV: 1

ATK: 50

DEF: 20

HP: 200/1500

*She is unconscious.*

Strange, Undyne didn’t go unconscious easily, or even at all really. Sans rolled her over gently and noticed the bruise of what looked like a giant hand around her. Sans dialed Papyrus’ number.

D-do you w-want m-me to h-h-heal h-her? Kindness asked as Sans put his phone up to where his ears would be. Sans shook his head. The line picked up.

“SANS! WHERE ARE YOU? YOU AREN’T AT YOUR STATION!” Papyrus started.

“Pap! Undyne is hurt, I need you in Waterfall stat! We are near Undyne’s house. You’ll see us quickly. Now bolt!” It was a pretty weird thing to say but it was a code word that said Papyrus needed to use his full speed. They only used it in emergencies, which never happened, but this was definitely one. He abruptly hung up and Sans did another check.

UNDYNE

LV: 1

ATK: 50

DEF: 20

HP: 150/1500

*She is still unconscious.*

Sans clamped his jaw. This was bad. A second later Papyrus was there, not in his battle body but in a plain grey t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and, of course, his signature scarf. Without a word, he picked up Undyne bridal style and Sans crawled onto his back while he was still bent down. Sans clenched his arms and legs tightly around Papyrus, anticipating the rough ride. Papyrus looked back at Sans and he nodded. Papyrus set off at full speed for Alphys’ place and in a few minutes they stood in front of her lab.

“DR. ALPHYS PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR IT’S URGENT!” Papyrus shouted. The door immediately opened to reveal Alphys.

“W-what...Oh! O-oh my! B-bring her inside and set her down on the bed.” Alphys stepped aside and gestured to the bed upstairs. Papyrus crossed over to it in a few long, easy strides and set the injured fish monster down, then helped Sans off his back. Alphys rushed over and began healing her. Sans watched her HoPe bar slowly go up.

Kindness. Sans called out to the young soul in his mind, knowing she was close.

Y-yes, Mom? The souls had started calling him Mom for some reason, but he didn’t mind. They only called him Sans when they were really upset about something.

Will you help Al heal ‘Dyne? He felt her go over to the two girls and float near Alphys’ hands. Undyne’s HoPe climbed quickly and more steadily. Alphys stopped a minute later.

“S-she seems to be fine b-but I have no idea what h-happened to h-her.” Alphys stuttered nervously.

“Neither do we, we just found her like this.” Sans replied.

“S-Sans, I-I saw you call P-Papyrus. P-Papyrus, how can you r-run so fast?” Alphys looked at Papyrus in amazement. Papyrus rubbed the back of his head.

“I have always been able to, please don’t tell anyone.” He said in a uncharacteristically small voice.

“O-of course not! I’m just curious. Is it a s-skeleton t-thing? S-sans got there pretty quickly b-because I saw h-him in Snowdin a few seconds before he was with U-Undyne. A-also, y-you looked like you were shaking your head at someone.” Sans sighed, this was going to be rough.

“It’s not a skeleton thing I don’t think, but I wasn’t talking to anyone. Can we see the camera’s near Undyne’s place?” Alphys nodded and scurried down to her monitor, the skeleton brothers on her heels. She quickly pulled up the two cameras near Undyne’s and rolled it back to when she had been there. They saw her exit the house and walk out the edge of the screen.
