-Snowdin Road. Eventually, the teary reunion comes to a close, and Frisk turns to the dogs. The dogs, thoroughly pacified, are more than willing to escort you there. -Waterfall Inside the Ghost's house, there is a refrigerator, several music disks laying on the ground, a television, and a computer. Napstablook floats awkwardly by. Refrigerator, Music, TV or Computer? -True Lab Alphys frowns. "Undyne had to... Drop in with me." "We'll have to turn the power back on to fix the elevator. You should go on without us, if you want to get there quickly."

Even as Chara speaks, the maelstrom of power surrounding them increases in intensity, purple light surging out of them. Frisk is surprised, but Flowey... Flowey is crying? Chara turns to Frisk. Chara's voice changes, and one might mistakenly attribute the color red to it, if they were prompted. Frisk's SOUL emerges, and a vivid Golden Star appears in front of them. Frisk starts to speak too. Flowey's face changes even more. They swallow heavily, and their face is twisted with... With emotion. The purple energy and golden light are growing brighter by the second. Willpower and Destiny come together, and then... Everything goes white. - Ultimately, even if they told Arminius... Nobody would remember, if they decide to Load. The ghost says something quietly, something meant for the child. Rachel could have sworn that seconds ago, Flowey was shrieking his head off in Toriel's Grip. Arminius realizes that the "Ghost" isn't a ghost at all, but a small goat child. In fact, so is Dolly. The three humans quickly realize what had happened, as the memories come flooding back. They had gone back in time, but... With two goat children instead of a whining doll and a ghost? When Toriel sees what is right in front of her, she doesn't care about the impossibilities, or the strangeness. She bawls as she embraces the children, while the dogs stare on in confusion. The children are crying too. Frisk stoically allows a single tear to drop, as is mandatory for such an event.

Toriel looks confused. "What on earth are you doing?" Then, Arminius manages to grab ahold of the invisible specter. His tattoos flare with light as the Boss Monster Essence merges with the remnants, until... Toriel's eyes widen with shock, and she puts her hands to her mouth, dropping Dolly onto the ground. The dogs all freeze at this, and Flowey does too. The entire area becomes dead silent as everyone stares on at the person in front of them. They say to The Child, before turning to Flowey, who has ripped off the bandages from their face. They kneel down in front of Flowey, who is shaking like a leaf. Toriel can't move a muscle, the shock is too great, too vast, even as Chara walks right past her to the doll on the ground. They reach out a single hand towards them... Toriel gasps as Flowey's face morphs, shifting into its true form as something burns inside his core. At this point, the child approaches too, and, somehow, familiarity finally occurs in Flowey. Somehow, they feel like they've met the child so many times before. The gang notice Sans hanging out nearby. In fact, they notice him hanging out pretty much the exact moment that Chara begins leaking some kind of powerful, unknown magic.

When Arminius notices that Toriel looks a little bit older, he cuts off the flow, and damn quickly too. Boss Monster Essence obtained. Flowey sneers. "What, are you going to shove a chunk of that old hag in me now? Should I turn my head and cough?" he shouts under his blindfold. "Nobody is too old to be disciplined, you little..." Toriel exclaims, only for the child to interrupt them with a spider donut. Toriel looks back to normal after eating.

Toriel glances at Flowey, the other fellow who is missing bits of SOUL. "I assume it is important, yes?" she asks hesitantly. "So long as it does not leave any... lasting harm." "I see no problem with it."

"Hmm?" Toriel says, holding the rampaging Dolly under her arm in such a way that they cannot try to bite her.

Arminius can tell it will work. The child seems to agree.

The child says. They look determined. The ghost, however, falls awkwardly silent.

The child asks, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Dolly shrieks like a little child, writhing in Toriel's grip. Toriel just sighs, shaking her head. - The ghost is frantic now, and the child thinks heavily. Ultimately, even if they told Arminius... Nobody would remember, if they decide to Load. The ghost says something quietly, something meant for the child. The child begins to speak in low tones.

"Gladly," Toriel says, gripping the doll gently, but firmly. Flowey's face melts and distorts into more and more horrifying threat displays. "No! Don't you dare! I'll kill all of you!" he shrieks in mortification. The process does not take long. - Arminius hears narrated before the fact. The voice seems fearful. The child, however, remains silent, considering the question. They can't help but wish they brought a second doll, if Arminius is this powerful.

The kid approaches, quietly insisting that, no, that isn't their name. Dolly looks horrified. "What? No! Don't do that! I've NEVER gotten to see that old fool bite it before!"

Doge is tuckered out from their walk, and the child pets decisively! In a flurry of motion, the child pets all of the dogs, pacifying them now that they've been neutralized. "Something just pet me! S-something that isn't moving!" Doggo yelps, failing to spot the child sneaking up behind them. "Uhh, thanks for the knife!" Doggo exclaims. "Dogs can pet other dogs?!" "(A whole new world has been opened up to us)" Dog Marriage exclaim, still thinking the entire party is just a bunch of weird puppies. "Ahh... Humans are nice." Doge says, exhausted from walkies. The child cracks their neck dramatically. Arminius hears once again from the ghostly presence. Dolly, meanwhile, seems to have something to say. He cackles wildly at the spectacle. He says in a soft, razor sharp tone that has Toriel glancing nervously at the animate toy. "What name did you just say?" she asks. Dolly looks shocked for a moment, reviewing what he just said. His expression slips into something casual and mocking. They say, glancing at the child. Toriel grits her teeth. "No matter." She looks at the pacified dogs. "You must take us to the king. It is urgent," Toriel says, stuffing down Dolly's words and ignoring them as hard as she can.

Greater Dog summons a bullet shaped like a sleeping puppy... but nobody woke it up! Doge is going for walkies. Theme Status

-True Lab Alphys swallows nervously at Prodditor's gaze.

As soon as Nader agrees, everything happens too quickly for Prodditor to process. (20, 16) Despite the king's size, he's fast. Twice in two minutes a body flops bonelessly to the ground, the whole thing happening in a flash. Asgore's hand grasps Nader's SOUL and... Whiteness Lucine is already healed by the time the blinding flash ends. Nader and Asgore are gone. And then two more assholes show up. Undyne is there too, looking menacing and unarmored.

Asgore looks at Nader. Whatever he does next, it will be based on Nader's response.

-Waterfall The ghost smiles, and shakes their head. "The snails can only tell if they won by whether or not I gave you money. It's ok." "Well, I'm going back to my house... It's over there, in case you want to come too..." "Or... In case you don't........" -True Lab Lucine can hear water rushing in her ears, and then, a voice. It's Asgore's voice, and he is speaking aloud. When Nader speaks, Asgore is frozen for a moment, but when he sees Nader's determined face, something changes. With the power of a human SOUL, even a single one... His hesitation shows, as his magic flickers. Time is running short, and Alphys is nowhere to be found. He chuckles ruefully. With one hand trying to keep Lucine Alive, and the other pointing towards Nader, Asgore summons a vivid red Trident, one made from a wild and dangerous magic. Prodditor's psionic senses immediately note that the magic is made of Love. Nader, however, knows it instinctively. His SOUL emerges, a bright orange color.

Nader's gun lets out a single, sharp bark as he fires it. (9, 10) 31! Asgore's shocked eyes watch Lucine flop bonelessly to the ground with a massive bullet hole through her chest. Asgore's eyes are lost somewhere else. His fists clench and Nader can absolutely see how the seemingly friendly individual could have declared war on humanity itself. But then the moment passes, and Asgore pulls out his phone, frantically dialing as quickly as he can. If Nader considered shooting him again, A brief glance from the Monster King tells him exactly what will happen afterwards. The phone rings several times, and for a moment, it almost seems like nobody is going to pick up. He turns to Nader, closing the phone. He kneels down next to Lucine, trying to heal her with magic. The green energy comes out in fits and starts, only slowing the blood flow.

-True Lab Asgore looks at Lucine, before moving away from her to ensure she is out of the line of fire. Nader can easily see how his movements become less tense, as he moves Nader's line of fire away from the others.

-Snowdin Road The Child begins dodging Doggo's attacks, but risks being hit by Lesser Dog! Waiting until the perfect moment, Rachel fires her inferno pistols at Doggo's doggers! (5, 14) One of the blades explodes, but Rachel's other shot strikes Doggo in the hand, dealing 1 damage! "Yeouch! Where did my weapons go?!?!" Doggo shouts, scrambling in the snow looking for them. Their remaining Dogger is laying on the ground right in front of them. Ignia flings snow at Dogi's faces, the snow splatters all over them! They shake their heads in confusion, sniffing at the air... but everything smells like snow! "Wait, are these guys..." "(Actually snowmen?)" Dogamy and Dogaressa question, sniffing loudly.

Nader fires more bullets, obviously! "C̶O̵M̴E̷ ̵J̷O̵I̸N̶ ̷T̷H̴E̵ ̸F̶U̵N̸" "C̶O̵M̴E̷ ̵J̷O̵I̸N̶ ̷T̷H̴E̵ ̸F̶U̵N̸" "C̶O̵M̴E̷ ̵J̷O̵I̸N̶ ̷T̷H̴E̵ ̸F̶U̵N̸" Asgore says firmly, prepared to protect each side from one another. The memoryheads roll their eyes, and instantly lose interest in the party.

Ignia uses Fira(2d10+10, 50% chance to burn for 1d10+10 twice) on the Doge as a quick action, and then holds her other action to use Cure(1d4+10) on her most wounded ally.

-Snowdin Papyrus freezes, stock still. He steps over the spikes with relative ease. From the snow surrounding you all, several noses poke out all at once. A voice says, their nose and mouth poking up from the snow underneath Papyrus, who looks down with confusion. Suddenly, the snow erupts! Papyrus is flung comically into the horizon as six massive dog-people leap out of hiding. A dog with a spear says, twirling it impatiently. The ghost helpfully announces what is going on. Even the child is stunned. Theme Status

-Snowdin Road He notices Arminius pausing in the middle of solving the puzzle.
