Chapter Text
~ Outside of Grillby’s~
A small white portal appears in an alleyway between two building. Sans and Zilla are dropped out of it and land on the ground with a loud thump, Sans flat on his front side with Zilla landing on top of him. Zilla, sitting on Sans back, looks around with her ears flicking around catching unfamiliar noises as Sans places his chin in his hand with his elbow on the ground. Growling slightly he says, “Mind getting’ yer ass off me?” Zilla looks down at him with her eyes narrowed and a smirk on her face, “Nope. I don’t mind. I’m quite comfortable actually.” Sans eyesockets narrow as he uses his magic to grab ahold of Zilla’s soul and lift her off him. “So any idea where we are? Paps never lets me leave Snowdin.” Sans, looking around, shrugs and says, “no idea. maybe we landed by MTT resort but this doesn’t smell like that bucket of bolts food.” Both sniff the air and Sans mouth start to water slightly. “i don’t ‘member Grillbz talking about movin’ shop though.”
Zilla looks towards the end of the alley and sees monsters and humans walking past. Her eyes widen as she walks back towards the darker side of the alleyway’s wall. Sans notices her movements and is instantly on guard. She whispers softly, “Go ahead and check it out. I’ll keep an eye on you and see if I can find Papyrus.” She sinks into the shadows disappearing without a trace as Sans walks towards the alleyway’s exit with his head down and makes his way into the building he assumes is Grillby’s.
~ At the skeleton’s house~
All of the skeletons and the hybrid monster girls have gathered into the living room. The half bunny girl sits like royalty in an armchair, her right leg crossed over her left and her hands on her knees with her purple eyes narrows and face in a neutral expression, with the short skeleton with a sharp toothed scowl on his face, dark blue eyelights constantly shifting around the room, arms crossed behind is back standing on the right side of the chair. The short skeleton with a blue bandana wrapped around his neck is sitting in the middle of a dark green couch with the tall skeleton in an orange hoodie to the right of him and Briar on his left side. The tall, edgy looking skeleton with red eyelights is standing against the wall to the left of Briar and the opposite side of the hybrid bunny girl. Sans and Papyrus are standing in front of the doorway looking at all the newcomers.
Sans rubs his hand over his face and says, “so, um, I know you all must have some questions but I think first we should try to find who we are missing before we get into everything.” The tall edgy skeleton huffs and says with his eyesockets narrowed at Sans, “MY WORTHLESS BROTHER WILL BE FINE ON HIS OWN. HE PROBABLY FOUND SOME SORT OF GREASE TRAP TO EAT AT AND MY LIEUTENANT IS VERY RESOURCEFUL. SHE WILL PROBABLY BE DRAGGING MY WORTHLESS BROTHER HERE SHORTLY.” The short, sharp toothed Sans looking skeleton says curtly, “MY BROTHER IS PROBABLY LAZING ABOUT SOMEWHERE.” The short skeleton with a blue bandana adds, “SEEING AS MY BROTHER IS HERE WITH ME I FEAR OUR SISTER IS THE ONLY ONE MISSING FOR US! SHE MUST BE SO LOSY AND CONFUSED IN A WEIRD PLACE!”
Sans holds his hands up to reassure everyone that they will find their missing companions when a knock on the front door prevents him from saying anything. Both him and Papyrus look at each other confused while Briar stands and says, “I’ll go see who that is.” She slips past the skeleton brothers blocking the door frame and goes to answer the door. A soft, tinkling of a bell is heard in the few seconds of silence as a girl with two purple furred cat ears sitting on top of shoulder length wavy blonde hair and a long purple furred cat tail dressed in a short powder blue dress with orange leggings and powder blue snow boots rushes into the living room.
Her bright green cat like eyes widen at the sight of the short skeleton with the blue bandana and the tall skeleton in an orange hoodie. She barrels into the two almost knocking the couch backwards as she wraps an arm around each skeleton’s neck and pulls them close. The tall laid back skeleton says, “she doesn’t looks so lost and scared bro.” Sans looks at Papyrus and Briar and says, “i’m gonna give grillby a call and see if maybe the Edgylord’s brother is there. you gonna be okay here?” Papyrus nods as Briar gives Sans a shy smile while saying, “We got this under control. Only three more are missing right?” Sans gives them a thumbs up and leaves the room as footsteps sound from the stairs.
A tall skeleton dressed in black pants and a black jacket with yellow fur lining on the hood over a dark orange sweater comes into the room. He covers his sharp toothed mouth with his hand as he yawns. The short skeleton next to the hybrid bunny girl is glaring at the new skeleton, the scar over his left eye socket making it look menacing as he says, “WELL WE DON’T HAVE TO LOOK FOR MY WORTHLESS MONGREL OF A BROTHER ANYMORE!” The tall skeleton looks blearily around the room as he walks over towards his brother standing on the left side of the armchair saying, “s’rry mi’lord. Didn’ mean to nap for so long.’ The short skeleton hmphs in response crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Sans comes back into the room and says with a sigh being followed by an edgy look alike version of himself, “well, it seems that the last missing skeleton was at Grillby’s.” Briar, standing next to Papyrus, says quietly, “So all we are missing is their lieutenant and then we will all be here?” The tall edgy skeleton looks at his brother waiting for some form of answer to his silent question to which the short skeleton shrugs.
The short sharp toothed skeleton sneers at the tall edgy one and says smugly, “MAKES ONE WONDER HOW YOU BECAME A CAPTAIN IF YOU CANT EVEN KEEP TRACK OF YOUR LIEUTENANT!” This insult causes both edgy skeletons to bristle. The shorter skeleton quips back slightly irritated as the taller one takes a step towards the short offending skeleton, “Zilla might be part dog monster but that doesn’t mean we need to treat ‘er like some sort of pet.” The short skeleton takes a step forwards as well looking up towards the taller one and replies back in his still smug voice, “MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUT A LEASH ON HER TO SHOW WHO IS THE BOSS.”
The tall skeleton looks down and narrows his eyes and says, “SHE KNOWS WHO SHE ANSWERS TO UNLIKE THE BABYBONES IN FRONT OF ME.” The shorter of the two narrows his eyes and says with agitation showing in his voice, “YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY. THE BIGGER THE TARGET THE HARDER THEY FALL” Magic from the two begins to spark through the air. In a low voice the shorter one continues with the insults, “Once I’m done cutting you down to size I’ll find the little bitch you call a lieutenant and show her how she should behave.”
In an instant, so quick that if you blinked you would miss it, Zilla jumps out from the shadow and tackles the shorter sharped toothed skeleton from behind to the floor. Everyone freezes with eyes and eyes sockets wide as the edgy looking Papyrus is looking at the two with a proud smug on his face as Zilla, her magic swirling into her hand, creates an orange, animal fang dagger and slams it into the floor right by the face of the skeleton pinned underneath her, his eyesockets widening as his dark blue eyelights shrink to tiny pinpricks, while she leans close to where his ear would be and says growling lowly, “Who’s the bitch now?”
