"ERG, IT'S NOT WORKING!"

"do it here, on the toes!"

"HE ONLY LIKES IT MORE!"

Evil Papyrus and Evil Sans were not doing well in the torture department. They were using a feather to try and tickle Chara and make him suffer until he finally passes out. But he was laughing so hard and squirming so much that it was clear he was having fun. It did not help that, despite hanging upside down by his ankles with shackles, Asriel was laughing just as hard, the sight so comical. Evil Toriel sighed and face-palmed, unable to focus.

"Just... NEVERMIND." She finally said, her two minions freezing and saluting, Toriel approaching Chara, still snickering. "And you, you think your so funny, laughing at my torture. Well we may just skip it and move to why I captured you. I am FAMISHED after all."

Asriel blinked. "Wait.... not you too!!!"

Evil Toriel stood up. "Yes me..... wait, me too? What do you mean?"

Chara took a deep breath. "Well the whole reason we wound up here was a certain pink pony and her friends eating him as a flower. A LOT."

Evil Toriel hmmmmed. "So, they are familar with the practice here then I assume?"

"Just Muffet and Pinkie Pie. No one else." Asriel quickly said. But that was a mistake.

"hey boss... maybe we can deal with them if the deal with your counterpart falls through."

"SANS, I AM THE BRAINS OF THE TWO OF US!" Papyrus quickly corrected, slamming Sans on the skull with a big bone. "AND I SAY WE TRY TO DEAL WITH THIS PINK PONY AND MUFFET IF THE DEAL FALLS THROUGH."

Evil Toriel hmmed. "We will worry about that later. After all we only have two of the children. If the initial deal falls through I thik we should up the stakes. Sans! Papyrus! Locate the other human child and bring him to me... preferably covered in honey."

"YES MA'AM!" Papyrus said, forming a bone blade and saluting... promptly knocking himself out with the blade, making the two kids laugh. sans sighed and began to haul him off while Toriel shook her head.

"And this is why I prefer just running my house of kids and fattening them up."

Chara blinked. Kids? It brought back an old memory when he was little, of how wonderful Toriel was with him, even when the Anomaly was taking control. He was so happy then. He took a guess.

"Ummm... sorry to ask but... do you have a lot of kids?"

Evil Toriel blinked. "What concern is that of yours?"

"Just curious I guess, Blame Frisk for doing that to me."

Evil Toriel sighed, Asriel knowing that sigh anywhere... it was a happy sigh. "Yes... I have several kids, all plump and happy from my cooking. Perhaps if your good for me and do as I say I'll make you a sample of it. And by make you a sample I mean you will be an ingredient in my famous chocolate children parfait."

Asriel blinked. "Wait... they like it?!"

"Of course not, you idiot! No matter what dimension you are in you're are an idiot. A sweet idiot, yes, but an idiot."

Asriel whimpered at the words spoken by his mom's evil counterpart.

"What they DO like is how I treat them otherwise...mostly. The one boy seems to really enjoy it more than anything, he is really into fighting, and we love to spar."

Chara listened to this and more and began to get a hunch. What if Evil Toriel...

Was still a good mom?

***************************

True Toriel (As she will be called for now) read the note alongside Frisk and Asgore, unable to believe what she was reading. Her children had been captured, but the culprits were NOT her Sans and Papyrus... but ones from another world. And, to make it worse, they were led by a Toriel from another world.

"These demands... we cannot meet any of them." Toriel said. "I don't even have the Lazarus Lapis anymore, I used it on Gaster."

Asgore nodded. "And I will be burned to dust before I let anyone take slaves." He went to say more as the door suddenly opened, the Mane Six walking in,Starlight right behind looking like she had been crying. It was only natural given how close she and Chara had gotten.

"We came as soon as we heard. Anything we can do to help?" Twilight said. After all, everyone nodding and eager. But Toriel shook her head.

"I'm afraid not. They are demanding the Lazarus Lapis, and as you know we gave that to Gaster so he can at least be somewhat whole. It's now a part of him and I will NOT remove it and what little semblance of a life he has."

Nearby. a picture of a pony got a familiar black line stretching across his face and moved...naturally freaking everyone out. "Thanks, your highness. But there is something your missing. The Lapis is not the only one of its kind. Other monsters copied it remember?"

Asgore blinked. "Of course! Then we just need to locate one with a Lapis. After all with the princess' power we don't really need them anymore except in the most extreme of situations. But who would have one?"

It was at that moment that Pinkie Pie spoke up. "Ummmmmm... I think I know."

Everyone turned to her as she continued. "Well... it's not like we would hurt the little tykes!"

"PINKIE..." Twilight said, narrowing her eyes as Pinkie began to sweat. "What did you do."

***************

As the group went to corner Muffet and confront her on hers and Pinkie Pie's recent actions, Evil Sans and Evil Papyrus (who had recovered) were looking for Frisk. Unfortunately for them, the boy was in with the rest of the group.

"THIS WILL BE TRICKY BROTHER. WE NEED TO LURE HIM OUT AND CATCH HIM."

"why not distract the others and then grab frisk?" Sans suggested. but Papyrus growled.

"I AM THE BRAINS OF THIS OPERATION! AND I SAY WE DISTRACT THE OTHERS AND GRAB HIM THEN!"

sans nodded. "sounds like a good plan."

"NYEH HEH HEH, GLAD I THOUGHT OF IT." He chuckled and moved into position. "WE BLAST THE HOUSE WITH A GASTER BLASTER, AND THEN WA-BOOM! IN THE CONFUSION, WE GRAB FRISK AND MAKE LIKE A TREE AND MOVE IT!"

'seems like a good way to leaf them in the dust."

Papyruus blinked. "SANS...."

"what, don't tell me i.... TWIGgered ya!"

"SANS!!!!!!!!!!!"

"you just need to BRANCH out on your humor."

"SHUT IT SANS OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL...."

Suddenly the two froze, looking over and seeing the real Sans standing there, his eyesockets holloow, shaking his head.

"well well well... looks like we got my counterparts from underfell here. you ain't trying anything stupid are you? because if you are... i may just have to burn some bones."

Evil Sans approached, astanding before his good counterpart, a red eye shining in his eye socket.

"that look in your face... you know about other dimensions too. Guess we are the same there huh?"

Evil Papyrus blinked. "SANS....WHY DID YOU SPEAK NORMLALLY ALL OF A SUDDEN?"

Good Sans shrugged. "eh, happens when we are getting ready for a bad time." He turned to Evil Sans, who smiled with a big grin. "anyways, seems like we should just go for it right now, since i do not want my little buddy in there hurt by you or your boss."

Evil Sans shook his head. "who said we would hurt him? she just wants to... EAT him."

Sans' eye shone blue as he cracked his knuckles. "not happening. for one thing this is not a fetish site. and for another thing i ain't letting my bud get hurt in any way."

Evil Sans smiled, forming an evil looking Gaster Blaster. "you don't have a choice." he turned to his bro. "bro I got this. you get the kid and get back to the boss."

Evil Papyrus smiled. "NORMALLY I WOULD ARGUE BROTHER... BUT NOT THIS TIME. BURN HIM IN HELL BRO."

Evil Sans grinned evin more, chuckling. "i intend to."

A huge explosion from the blaster signaled the start of the fight. Inside the house, everyone turned to look, seeing Sans going at it with his evil counterpart, shooting blasters and using high powered bone attacks.

"what, you think i'll just sit here and take it goody two shoes?" Evil Sans said, just dodging a Gaster Blaster.

"no, i expect you to DIE." Sans said, taking hold of Evil Sans soul and using his telekinesis to send him flying, but Evil Sans knew that trick well, twisting to land on his feet.

By now everyone had run out of Toriel's home, and were unsure what to do. This, sadly, was the chance that Evil Papyrus needed, sneaking around the bushes, then making a dash for Frisk...

...only to wind up smacked in the face by Good Papyrus.

"SORRY EVIL CLONE, BUT I CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO HURT, TOUCH, MAIM, SCORCH, OR OTHERWISE HURT THE HUMAN."

Evil Papyrus strightened up, drawing his own bone, his more like a sword again. "LIKE YOU CAN STOP ME... OR ANYONE. I AM NUMBER ONE AFTER ALL."

Papyrus turned to his friends. "FRIENDS! GET FRISK OUTTA HERE! THEY'RE TRYING TO SNATCH HIM AS WELL!"

The others turned to act... but too late as Evil Sans raised a bone cage around all of them but Frisk and Starlight. Without thinking, the unicorn picked up Frisk and bolted, Evil Papyrus and Evil Sans watching as she fled.

"NO!" Evil Papyrus shouted... just as Paps sent his head flying. However, unlike the good counterpart, Evil Papyrus was strong enough to survive losing a head, and the body promptly tripped Papyrus.

"GOOD WORK BODY! NOW COME GET ME, I'M TO YOUR LEFT! NO.... YOUR OTHER LEFT!.... NO YOUR OTHER OTHER LEFT YOU IDIOTIC BAG OF BONES!"

Meanwhile Starlight was running fast as she could. She knew this was only a mute point, aftrer all even if Frisk was protected the fiends still had Asriel and... Chara.

She stopped. What was she doing? Those two knew where they were being held! She had to go back! Maybe convince them to...

But a sudden whack on her head prevented that thought, as Frisk fell off into the arms of a familar looking form... but her twisted self.

"Oh no..." He whimpered. She smiled at him.

"Well, when you want something done do it yourself. Still they at least kept them busy and got you away from them. Not to shabby for a couple of boneheads."

Frisk, despite his situation, snickered.

"Oh you liked that one? I admit my humor is often dark but I like to have pun now and then."

Frisk began to laugh. Sadly that ended as Evil Toriel put the boy into a large sack. "Now, don't you worry little Frisk. If I get what I want I won't hurt you."

Frisk struggled in the sack. "You'll let me go?"

"I didn't say that. Truth is... I like the look of you and your brothers.... got some nice meat on your bones. Once I have the Lapis and a way back home... you'll be coming with me, wether they want you or not."

Frisk began to struggle but it was pointless. All he could to was wriggle about as Evil Toriel laughed, fading into the Everfree, her plan almost complete.

************************

Meanwhile, Evil Sans and Evil Papyrus were tied up soon aftrer, struggling in their bonds, Sans and Papyrus (the good ones) looking a little worse for wear but otherwise okay, while Toriel was glaring at the two. It had not taken the others long to realize the attack was merely a diversion to hget Frisk... which apparently had been done.

And now Toriel was fuming. LITERALLY.

"Now. You have two choices. Either you tell me where my evil counterpart took my boys... OR I WILL BURN YOUR BONES TO ASHES."

Evil Papyrus eeped. "ACK! IT'S THE SAME HERE, NEVER MESS WITH A MAMA." He then grinned. "BUT WHY SHOULD WE TELL YOU? WE HAVE ALL THE CARDS, AND IF YOU DUST US YOU'LL NEVER FIND YOUR BOYS... EXCEPT MAYBE WHAT'S LEFT OF THEM."

Twilight spoke up. "Look, we saw your demands, why do you need the Lapis at all?"

Papyrus shook his head and chuckled. "YOU'RE REALLY BRAIN DEAD, AREN'T YOU PONY. THE LAZARUS LAPIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAGICAL ARTIFACT IN THE UNDERGROUND. IN OUR TIMELINE, IT WAS FOUND BY SEVERAL HUMANS WHO WE CAPTURED AND KILLED, TAKING THE STONE AS A PRIZE.

"OF COURSE, ASGORE SOUGHT TO USE IT TO MAKE OUR TROOPS INVINCIBLE, BUT THE QUEEN HAD OTHER IDEAS. AFTER THE BARRIER WENT UP, SHE MURDERED THE KING FOR HIS WEAKNESS AND TOOK CONTROL. RATHER THAN WORRY ABOUT RETURNING HOWEVER, SHE ISSUED A DECREE: ALL HUMANS WHO FALL DOWN WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO THE LAZARUS LAPIS AND ENSLAVED.

"TO DATE SEVEN CHILDREN HAVE FALLEN. TORIEL HAS THREE, ALPHYS AND UNDYNE HAVE ONE, OUR OWN SPIDER BAKER KEEPS TWO FOR DAILY SPECIALS, AND ONE IS FREE RANGE, FOR ANYONE TO GRAB WHENEVER WE WANT."

"That's horrible!" Twilight said. "The Lapis was never meant for that, I know it!"

Muffet nodded. "The one I have I only use for two little cuties and even then sparingly. What you do is just... just... EVIL!"

"heh, thanks sister!" Evil Sans said. "we try."

The others glared but Papyrus spoke up. "THE POINT IS WHEN WE CAME HERE THE LAPIS WAS LEFT BEHIND. WE DESIRE ONE FOR OUR TIME HERE, UNTIL SUCH TIME A WAY HOME CAN BE MADE. YOU HAVE UNTIL SUNDOWN TO PRODUCE THE STONE, OR ELSE."

"Or else what?" Toriel asked. But she already knew the answer. And already Evil Toriel was preparing for that very senario. With all three now chained up she was looking up recipes in the kitchen of the ruined castle where she was hiding out, so much like home. Even so, Chara kept staring at her. And then he asked the question.

"Do you miss your kids?"

And that, dear reader, was the RIGHT question. For it triggered a memory for Evil Toriel, of the aftermath of a feast, tucking the newly reformed children into rather plush beds, the tattoos she had made still glowing. And one looked ta her.

"Mom?" He had said. Evil Toriel, evil as she was, still had SOUL (a Symbol Of Unyielding Love). So naturally she froze.

"What did you call me?"

"Well... everyone up there is fighting now... down here... I know there are a lot of bad monsters... but at least you are nice to me. Nicer than I ever had been treated."

Evil Toriel remembered that. A tear came to her eye. But she quickly brushed it away.

"No." She whispered, almost halfheartedly. She then set to work preparing for the meal.

Time was running out...

TO BE CONCLUDED...
