As Alphys walks outside, she notices the same Parent earlier that forgave Undyne during the crowd gathering around her. Depressed, looking as if she’s needing some help, but what would Alphys do? There’s even more parents outside that still exchange with other nurses but they are much calmer now than before.
She won’t be doing any good anyway facing them right now, as she might get harassed the same way as Undyne had received. So she walked away, sighs, looking down and carries on with her normal work routine.
Rewinding back to what has happened after Undyne passes out during the battle… the Possessed Human retreated after getting blasted by Sans’ blasters. Avoiding any more battles for the meantime as her host’s body is currently unable to do anything.
“What a weak Body…” the Human pants
「 * You wailed through the invisible barrier. 」
“I get it, you want your body back” rolls its eyes “you’ve been starting to get really annoying.”
「 * You screamed, trying to get help. 」
“You screaming wont do anything… ugh” it groans “this won’t be happening to YOU, if you weren’t WEAK enough.” Possessed Human walks as its hands are on the wall as if guiding its walking somewhere safe towards Waterfalls.
「 * You seem… Determined? To keep on screaming for help.」
“I SAID STOP IT!” The Possessed Human punched the wall in anger and blasted, creating a huge crater on the wall sending a mild earthquake. “Pathetic weak universe… I’ll come and get that weak Monster soon. But first, I think I’ll have to do something else…” it grinned, sinisterly and laughed as it did its next plan ahead.
“I’ve heard from our little friend in this Universe that there’s a certain… ‘Tree’ in this dimension…”
「 * You get confused, but you get nervous at the same time. 」
“Hah, don’t fret now little one… we’ll be meeting that skeleton’s brother in no time…”
「 * You can’t seem to remember, nor understand. 」
“But first, we’ll have to take cover and regenerate what this weak body had lost in that battle.” groans, falls down the floor, sits down and focuses its energy into regenerating its body back “We’ll be staying here for a while, consider this a Gift from me in helping you Body back to its peak.”
“Oh that also reminds me… We’ll be needing what that little skeleton’s gift got during the time he sent me flying away.” opens its eyes and takes a quick pause from meditating “It seems that… our little friend may have told us about that gift that contains pretty much huge power.” Human sighs “Let’s hope that by the time we get to him, he hasn’t activated it yet.”
Meanwhile, at the Tree of Time, Papyrus can be seen working with his other fellow scientists.
“Dr. Papyrus, have you checked in with Dr. Alphys today?” a female fellow scientist asked him
“O-oh! Uh… I have… apparently, the anomaly had escaped and is now being hunted down by my brother”
“We hope everything gets better… and that's what Dr. Alphys saw in her Universal Transmitter would be just… false” the fellow female scientist felt down “I… I lost my brother during their fight. My mother had told me…”
“O-oh no… I’m so sorry Dr. Yule… I didn’t know…” Papyrus stops what he’s doing for a moment, and comforts Yule.
“I-I can’t exactly… stop working to grieve… someone must have been feeling the same thing as me as well. But they are also helping and working to solve the situation.” she tears a little bit.
“That’s right… Captain Undyne must have been feeling the same after seeing her comrades… die in front of her.”
“I-I’ll just get back to work… I’m sorry” Dr. Yule wipes the tears in her eyes with her Handkerchief, and proceeds to continue working on her table detailing the current data statistics of the Tree of Time.
“I’ll let you on it, okay? However, if you need anything, don’t be afraid to come towards me, alright?” He pats her back “The least that I can do is to give you some peace time alone…”
“Thank you.”
“Alright then, I’ll be here when you need me” Papyrus walks towards the other group of Scientists. “Hello everyone, how is it going? Is there something wrong?”
“N-no not really Dr. Papyrus” a male fellow scientist arranges his glasses, with a nervous voice, holding his clipboard near to his chest. “W-well… we couldn’t detect the Anomaly’s presence here in our Universe Sir… it must be that someone is helping him…”
“No one is more capable in this universe than us to help someone or something as big of a threat as this one to let it slip pass through our security.”
“...we also can’t detect which Alternate Reality the Anomaly have come…”
“That's odd… at least our security would have detected where its universe is.”
“Have you tried asking Dr. Alphys about the previous Head Scientist?” another fellow female Scientist in the group asks Papyrus
“You know, I have not really asked her…” he held his chin and squinted his eyes “Maybe I should pay her a visit today after Work.”
“Please do Dr. Papyrus.”
“I will.” And after an hour, their shift is done. Everyone has logged off already, coming out of an invisible force field or a barrier somewhere in Waterfalls. Scientists gathered and took a walk out of the area and headed straight towards the main road and went their separate ways.
A shadow figure from the distance appears watching as the Scientists leave the area. It was the Anomaly, The Possessed Human. It took notice of a female scientist, looking at her closer, it's none other than Dr. Yule.
Seemingly lonely, not interacting with other co-workers after leaving the workplace, the Anomaly took the chance and appeared behind her and kidnapped her from the shadows. Yule, unable to scream for help, descended below the floor within her own shadows.
“W-what was that?” a co-worker looked back, seemingly nervous “there’s something fishy here… come on bro let’s go” and they proceeded to walk faster away from the entrance towards the Tree of Time.
They appeared from where the Human was looking at earlier, behind a wall there Yule squirming from the Possessed Human’s hands, releases her mouth.
“AH! W-WHAT DO YOU WANT?” The human points the cleaver at her chin, scaring her off. “S-sorry.. W-what do you want from me…?”
“I want to know what’s behind that wall.” in a seemingly creepy aura, the human leaned his head slightly to the right, grinning at her.
“I-I don’t know what you mean… p-please spare me…” Yule trying to keep the top secret location, anxiously trembling.
“Oh my… I guess I have no USE FOR YOU!” In a desperate attempt, before the Human slices her neck, Yule pleads “ P-PLEASE! I-I will tell you… please spare me…” she cries.
“Not so hard, isn’t it? Now tell me, what is it?” it unsummons the cleaver. “I’ll give you a few seconds.” The Human’s hands chokes Yule.
“P-Please… urgh…” Trying to remove the hand away from her neck to breathe “I-I cant breathe…”
“Now I’ll let you go, if you tell me…”
“I-Its… chokes I-I…”
“Yes??”
“T-Tree of Time…” and there the Human releases her from being choked, she catches her breath as she falls down the floor, sobbing and pleading to be released from the Human.
“Thank you.” The human walks away slowly as it still hears Yule coughing, and catching her breath.
“W-What do you plan to do??”
“Oh? Just give it a little visit.” it lets out a little chuckle.
“P-please… S-stop what you are trying to plan…” she desperately tries to stop the Human from moving even an inch from where they are…
“Petty.” The human stopped, looked back through Yule, seeing her lying down on the dirty floor, sobbing on the human’s legs, he summoned his Cleaver. Without Yule knowing what’s about to happen, she got stabbed at the back, piercing through the floor. “What a petty monster… tsk.”
Yule screamed, she coughed blood, as her bottom half body began to feel numb. She feels the Cleaver twisting her organs inside, and finally see’s a pool of blood at her head’s direction. Her head falls on the ground, as she continues to cough blood.
“There… there… You won’t be feeling any pain now.” and a few seconds later, twisting the cleaver on her body, he forced sliced her left side of body. This made her even bleed more, sliced organs scattered throughout the floor.
There Yule’s body lies, Soulless, disintegrated through thin air, leaving nothing but ashes behind as it flicked the blood off of its sharp ends of the cleaver. Unsummons the weapon, and proceeds to walk away from the scene.
Papyrus is now left alone at the Tree of Time area when suddenly an alert comes from one of the computers. It's a signal from Alphys. He walked towards it and answered the video message.
“Dr. Papyrus, I advise you to put the Maximum Security of the Tree of Time after you log off.” Alphys on the other end of the video, distressed and sweating as she keeps on continuing to work while talking through the video “The Anomaly have escaped for now, and we must not let anything happen… hopefully to the Tree of Time.”
“Okay, got it.”
“Why of all universes are we the one to watch and take care of these other universes like we are caretakers?” she groans on the video “OH I-I’m so sorry, I got carried away. Please come to the Lab after you’re done with it. Alphys, Out.”
And the video message cuts. Papyrus went on to the security computer to raise the maximum security to the highest. This makes the Tree of Time undetectable from the outside and affects the current Universe becoming Anonymous to the Tree of Time.
“Please, I hope we’ll all be safe...” Papyrus finishes to put the security Max. He goes on to log off, wears his coat, and proceeds to leave the area. Not until a few seconds later, he sees a silhouette from just in-front of him. “W-who’s there? I- this place isn’t safe for monsters to walk around to-”
“My my…”
“Please walk around-” The Human teleports in front of Papyrus, and this scares him, making him fall down the floor. He looks up at the Human and his eye socket widens in fear as he starts to crawl backwards away “w-who are you?”
“Just a visitor.” the human shrugged
“P-please this area is off limits… I advise you to leave or else…” Papyrus’ voice trembles as he speaks, sensing the ominous aura the Human gives.
“Or else?” leaned its head on the side and grins, Papyrus at the distance looking anxious and nervous, body is trembling from the presence of the Human “Or else… what?”
“O-Or else… I-I’ll do t-this!!” Papyrus stands up, and defends himself and the tree of time from harm’s way. His left eye glows orange, in a form of a water drop.
The Human noticed this “A different kind of Papyrus. Huh?”
“Y-yeah?? So what if I’m different from any other papyruses in the Multiverse?”
“Means you are nothing less important than everybody else!” Human summons its cleaver and dashes forward in Papyrus’ direction, Papyrus not able to predict nor even prepare for the fight is forced to block the attack with its bare skeleton hands. “Puny little skeleton hands… nothing but WEAK!”
The Human pushed him far to a wall and sent that area exploding creating a massive crater. Some of the Machines got broken too, nearly the machine that helps sustain the Tree of Time. It looked at the Tree of Time. “So… hah… this is the infamous Tree of Time. A Tree that is overseeing every Multiverse.”
It looks at some of the disconnected branches, and particularly see’s a familiar branch along with it. “How generous of the tree to continuously grow… but does not even care to nurture back some branches that are torn off from its roots.”
“P-please get away from it..” Papyrus coughs, kneeling on the ground, trying to reach for the Human who’s far away from him. “It's not safe…”
“Why? Am I going to die on touch?” It laughs a bit, sighs but then groans after a few minutes “I’m getting bored of you. Surely… Your ‘brother’ wouldn’t mind if I play with you for a while. Right?” The Human disappears from Papyrus’ sight and in just a split second appears in front of him. Papyrus startled, jumped from his position and sat back at the ruined machines behind him.
“W-what do you mean…?” looking anxious, he says
“This.” In a matter of seconds, the Human rotates around, and upon successfully rotating, a Cleaver spawns in its hands, with the most sinister smile, prepares to send a fatal blow towards Papyrus.
Time feels like it’s slowing, is it the End for Papyrus? What happens to him? He closed his eyes, and there… he accepted what’s about to happen to him.
“I’m… sorry. Brother.” In Papyrus’ Mind he says, tears roll down its cheeks, ready to receive the blow. The Human continues its rush and as soon as it gets close… Everything went dark.
