APRIL 6, 21XX, 8:21 A.M. UNDERGROUND, Undyne's home

All you wanted was to train with Collie and Undyne, but HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

You and Collie decided to accept Undyne's request to train with her. She's the leader of the Royal Guard herself, so hey! Can't pass up an opportunity to train with someone who almost killed you both one time!

Collie, on the other hand, was a little more hesitant than you were. She is a pacifist, so it's not very unexpected. She's gotten used to the sparring matches and such at this point, so that's a plus for you and her.

So, now let's not focus on that. Let's focus on the present.

Collie manages to dodge and block most of the jabs and attacks that Undyne throws at her. You watch carefully in the background while sitting on the ground. Yes, it's hard and uncomfortable, but it suffices.

"NGAH! Not bad, kid," Undyne pants out to Collie.

Suddenly, Collie's expression softens slightly. She briefly looks off to the side, letting her guard down. Undyne manages to land a blow on her, making the human focus again. Her movements become a bit more wobbly and stiff, as if she's afraid of a very strong monster quickly popping up out of nowhere and attacking the three of you.

What's going on wi-

CLANG!

Your gaze snaps back to the girls at the sound. You only manage to catch a glimpse of Collie being flung against and slumping against the wall.

"Oh, crap- Collie!" Undyne exclaims. You and her rush next to Collie.

Dammit, she's banged up...Slowly and weakly, Collie opens her eyes. She turns to look at you, her eyes slightly widening. She reaches a hand towards you.

"A-...Asriel-?"

...what?

Collie places a hand on your cheek. You look at Undyne.

"Is she okay?" You manage to ask.

"I don't know," she replies. "and did she just mention Asriel Dreemurr?"

Collie manages to crack a smile before wrapping her arms around your torso. She mumbles some incoherent things under her breath, probably out of her weird trance.

Ouch.
