Papyrus pov

it was the day after sans' date with toriel. I was on the couch watching mettaton read the news when sans walked through the door "oh there you are brother, where were you" I asked. He walked to the couch and sat with me "just coming back from grillby's. Anyway what's on the news" he asked. I pointed to the television "just look for yourself, I know you aren't that lazy" I said with a hint of anger. We stopped to listen to the news "in other news, a serial killer named dacre burns has chose to go after monsters only so if you're a monster remember to lock your doors and stay safe" mettaton said. I saw sans' body tense and his eye flare up "brother are you okay" I asked as seemed to shake off his episode caused by the weirdly dark news. He relaxed his body "i'm fine, I think i'm going to head to bed early tonight" he said as he got up and walked up stairs. I shot a worried expression his way "but it's only 5:00" I said. He ignored me and walked into his room.

Sans pov

when I got in my room I sat on my bed holding my head. Painful memories danced through my mind. My eye started flaring up again as I couldn't stop it. Tears started running down my cheeks. I buried my head deep into my pillow as a headache started to form. I heard a soft knock on my door " sans, it's your brother. You know if there is anything wrong you can tell me" he said. I remained silent "listen I know you do not want to talk about it but just so you know, you're not alone. You have friends and family who care about you" he assured. I eye sockets opened as the painful images were replaced with images of those he loved. Undyne, alphys, asgore, papyrus, mettaton, frisk, and toriel all flashed In his head. His tears stopped flowing, and his headache let up. He laid on his back and smiled a genuine smile as he slowly fell asleep.

The next morning I got up with a skip in my step. I walked down stairs and towards the kitchen. A knock on the front door stopped me in my tracks. Walked over to answer it because no one else was home. When I opened the door nobody was on the other side. I looked down to see a note on the ground. I grabbed it and brought it inside. After closing the door I held it up to read it.

Dear monster scum

you may have heard of me, dacre burns. I've been watching you for awhile. You and that goat seem pretty close. I wanted to see her too, in fact I should be on my way there already. It will be a fun time, you should come join. It would make my job a lot easier. If you should happen to choose to not show up and hide, well let's just say I wouldn't recommend that. If you care about your poor girlfriend's life, head to her house. Oh and if you try and fight back, i'll make her death slow and painful. You'd better hurry, she won't last long. Tick tock monster tick tock.

My eye felt like it was on fire as the rage built up inside me. I ran out the door and sprinted as fast as I could to toriel's house. As soon as I got on to the right street I saw a human with a dark purple hoodie in the distance toriel was also there but thankfully undyne was between them. I saw the human pull out a knife and swing at undyne. I teleported between them and blocked the knife with a bone "ah looks like the guest of honor has arrived" he said. I pushed him back and turned to undyne "he hasn't hurt anyone right" I asked. Undyne shook her head "no but I called everyone else for back up" she said. Dacre started laughing "you're just bringing more and more to slaughter" he said. Toriel ran up to me "sans what are you doing here, it's too dangerous for you" she said. I turned back to dacre "just leave it to me" I said.

I checked his stats 'dacre burns hp 92/92 at 46 def 14 exp 50000 lv 19' my eye flared up and I jumped towards him with a bone in my hands but he blocked it with his knife. I summoned some bones behind him that he deflected easily "ha is that all you got" he taunted. I pointed behind him. He turned around to see a gaster blaster. He dodged it but it clipped his shoulder "damn that stings" he said holding his shoulder. He ran at me and swung at me multiple times but I dodged them all "wow you have some skills but let me get some licks in" undyne said. She chucked a spear at him that he blocked but she used that opening to get a clean punch on him. He seemed to be getting angry "i'm not going to lie you're really starting to piss me off" he said. He tried to stab me but I got out of the way. He grabbed a hold of my jacket and put the knife up to my neck "gotcha" he yelled. Before he could end me a fireball connected with his face. He let go of me and I looked at tori who shot the fireball "no one touches my sans" she said with a rather scary face. Dacre ran at toriel when another punch connected with his cheek but this time it was courtesy of rachel. I look to my left to see asgore, mettaton, alphys, papyrus, and frisk. Without a word we all faced dacre.

I was the first to act, running up to him with a bone. Every time he would swing at me i'd block it. He caught me off guard and was about to connect with my chest when a bone blocked it. I looked to my side to see papyrus "i couldn't just stand by and let you fight alone" he said. Papyrus summoned a wall of blue bones and shot it. Dacre dodged them and ran to him. Papyrus blocked his knife and swept his legs causing him to drop his knife. He saw that the knife had fell behind mettaton. Dacre ran to him and started punching at him but mettaton was able to hold his own even able to get a few punches in. dacre finally punched mettaton to the floor. He picked up his knife and stabbed mettaton's chest pulling out his battery. Dacre chuckled but felt a shock on his back. He turned around to see alphys who seemed very angry. She shot more lightning at him but he manages to dodge them and get close. He brought his knife up but undyne tackled him and started punching his face "don't lay a finger on her" she yelled. Dacre pushed her off and punched her causing her to stumble back. He was about to stab her when asgore grabbed his hand. Dacre looked to see asgore's furious face. Asgore head butted him and punched him in the stomach. Dacre collected him self and stabbed asgore in the shoulder causing him to fall down and hold his shoulder. He was about to finish him off but I whacked him in the head with a bone causing him to face me.

Alphys, rachel and papyrus went to tend to the wounded, so only me and toriel were left. Dacre was swinging his knife at me wildly. I dodged and blocked with a bone and tori used that opening to shoot a fireball into his stomach. Dacre looked very angry. He dodged my bones and dug his knife into my gut. My shirt began to be stained by red. He pulled it out and I fell to the ground where tori caught me "no, sans please stay with me" she said. Dacre walked closer to us "any last words, monster" he asked. I slowly breathed out "ketchup". Dacre raised an eyebrow "ketchup?" he asked. I summoned a blaster and he took it head on. I stood up and pulled a pierced bottle of ketchup out of my shirt. I saw that dacre only had one hp left so I surrounded him with blue bones "if you touch these bones you will die" I warned. Toriel hugged my side happily "sans i'm so glad you're alright" she said. Then she had her scary face back "but if you make me worry like that again, you won't like what happens next" she said. I started to sweat "yes ma'am" I said. Papyrus came up to me "i called for a police car to pick him up" he said. I nodded at him and went to check on everyone else.

I helped undyne off the floor "are you okay" I asked. Undyne flashed a toothy smile "i'm fine, he'd have to try a little harder than that to put me down" I chuckled and started to walk off. Undyne put her hand on my arm "hey wait, you really showed your skills just now. We could use someone like you on the force" she said. I shook my head "thanks for the offer but that job isn't my cup of tea" I said. She nodded and I walked over to asgore. Toriel was healing him "sup asgore, feeling any better" I asked. He simply nodded. Rachel ran over and sat down next to asgore. She turned her head to toriel "will he be okay" she asked with concern. Toriel smiled at her "he might be sore for a day or two but he'll be fine" she said. Asgore sat up while holding his shoulder "i'm just happy that no one was badly injured" he said. I decided to check up on alphys and mettaton. I walked up to them to see alphys tinkering on mettaton "so what's the damage" I asked as I squatted next to her. She looked at me then back to mettaton "his battery was taken out and destroyed, plus there is damage to his main power core" she said. I put my hand on her shoulder "wow, sounds heavy doc. Can you fix him" I asked. She gave me a reassuring smile "it shouldn't be hard to fix, it'll fast to fix" she said. Toriel came to the other side of her "why don't you come in, everyone was going to stay awhile anyway so you can patch him up here" she offered. Alphys nodded and tori helped carry him inside. I saw everyone go inside except undyne. I walked up to her "hey why aren't you going inside" I asked. Undyne turned to me "i'm keeping an eye on this trash to make sure it's taken out properly" she said while pointing at dacre. I nodded and started to walk to the house "well come on in as soon as you can" I said.

When I walked into tori's house I saw alphys working on mettaton in the corner. I decided to walk over to her "hey do you need any help" I offered. She just shook her head while smiling "no, it's a pretty easy fix. He'll be done in a few minutes" she said. I nodded and turned around scaning everyone else. After a moment I decided to walk over to frisk who was talking with asgore. When she noticed me coming she ran up and hugged me. She started pulling me into her conversation with asgore "me and asgore were just talking about the fight" she said. Asgore put on a thoughtful face "yes, I was just wondering how did you gain that power and skill" he said, looking ant me with interest. I chuckled "who do you think papyrus trained with before undyne" I said. Of course that was only half of the truth, it was also due to the experiments by my dad, W.D. Gaster. But of course asgore wouldn't remember him. Asgore smiled at me "that makes sense I guess" he said. Asgore looked like he just remembered something "oh yeah, toriel said she wanted to see you" he said while pointing to the kitchen. I looked to the kitchen to see tori putting a pie in the oven. I walked over and she smiled when she saw me coming "hey tori" I said. She didn't greet me back but instead scoop me up in a hug "thank you for the help today" she said. I could see that she was tearing up "what kind of skeleton doesn't protect his family" I asked. Tori looked at me with a smile and tears streaming down her face "a numbskull" she said happily. Frisk ran over and joined in the hug "i love this family" she said. I started to tear up as well "me too kid" I said
