Hey everyone, sorry for the wait. For most of my stories, I usually write them out on paper first as a type of foundation as to what I want the chapter to look like. And while writing this chapter, I ran into roadblocks on how to word somethings. Now with this out of the way, on to the story!

Sans' POV

For the past week, I have noticed 7 skeletons following me. Out of those 7, I only recognize 2 of them, the one that followed me before and my pit pick victim. So I think it's safe to say that he noticed. The others are probably friends of his.

At the moment, Papyrus and I are sitting in Central Park. I'm teaching him how to read and enjoying the sun. I thankfully have not seen any of the skeletons so far. That would just suck to get Paps involved. "F-fluffy Bunny wants to p-play hop-hops-sc"

"Hopscotch."

"It looks weird!"

"Most words do Paps."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cross' POV

I was walking around Central Park to get a break from the idiots that I call my friends, when I noticed a certain blue wearing skeleton sitting on a bench with, what looks to be, a younger skeleton. I quickly get out of sight a call Nightmare. "Boss."

-"What is it Cross?"-

"I found the kid, he's in Central Park with what appears to be a younger kid."

-"Where."-

"Near the middle of the park."

-"Try and keep him there, we're on our way."-

He then hangs up, leaving me to watch the two as I wait.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About 30 minutes has gone by. I'm about to call Nightmare again when suddenly he appears right next to me. "Where is he Cross?"

I point towards where they are still reading. "HaVe ThEy BeEn ReAdInG tHiS wHoLe TiMe?" I nod a turn towards Nightmare. "What's the plan Boss?"

"Surround them, Dust make sure to block his magic. He is not allowed to escape this time."

We then split up to surround them. God I hope this works.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sans' POV

I look down one of the walkways and see a black gooey skeleton with four tentacles sticking out of his back,  wearing what appears to be a dress shirt, dress pants, and shoes and icy blue eye staring right at me. Crap. I look at Paps and slowly close the book. "Time to go Bro." I whisper. Paps looks at me, slightly uneasy. "Brother?!"

"Leaving already?"

I look behind us and see another skeleton with, what appears to be black tears dripping from his eye sockets, wearing a black T-shirt, denim blue jeans, with black sneakers. He had no eye lights. "We just got here."

I grab Paps hand and pull him with me to get away from him. Then another skeleton, the first one that followed me, was suddenly in front of us. I looked to the left and there stood a glitchy black skeleton with blue like tears trailing from his eyes. He was wearing a red dress shirt, black pants, and grey boots. He red eye sockets, with one eye being blue and yellow and the other one being blue, yellow, and red. I then looked to my right and saw another skeleton had joined the octopus one. He was wearing a white hoodie, a red shirt, black pants and black and white shoes. He had a red zigzag scar on his right cheek, with the right eye being red and the other one was white.

I look back behind us and see another skeleton next to the black tear one. He had a large hole in the side of his skull and one lone red eye. He was wearing a face mask, a blue T-shirt, black pants and gray shoes. "Sans?!" I pull Paps close and glare at them. "Stay close Paps." I whisper as I pull us a bit more to the middle of everyone.

"You are a tough one to track down boy." I look at the octopus. "And you guys are some determined SOBs. Most would have given up by now." 

The black teared one and the one with the hole in its skull start to chuckle. "You should watch your language. You're like what, 9?" I just glare in response. I already tried to teleport, but it feels like something is blocking me.

"Listen kid, just give us back the money you stole, and you can be on your way."

"I don't have it."

They all seemed to glare at me. "This is New York, did you seriously expect me to have it a week later?"

"Sans!"

I looked down at Papyrus, noticing the scared look in his eyes. I just held him tighter and looked back at the 6 of them. The octopus one suddenly smirked. "Well then, Sans, you're just gonna have to pay us back somehow."

"And how am I supposed to pay you back 200 dollars?"

He just shrugged as he took another step forward. He was know, at this point, standing right in front of me, forcing me to have to look up so I can look him in the eye. "I don't know kid, just do what you did before."

I groaned. "That in it's self is hard. Most people now a days only carry cards. Your buddy was just lucky number 7."

The mostly monochrome one spoke next. "Not our problem kid." I went to respond, only for Paps to ask me a question. "I thought you were a teenager?!" That seemed to throw a couple of them off, causing me to laugh lightly. "I'm still a kid to them Paps."

"Hang on! Hold up! How old are you anyways?!" I looked over at the black teared one before responding. "Non ya."

"What?"

"Non ya business." The crazed eye one and the one missing a chunk out of his skull chuckled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have somehow gotten away from them. At the moment we are running down an alleyway when suddenly Paps turns down another way.....away from home. "Paps!" When I finally catch up with him, I see him being held by a skeleton with a black splotch on his cheek. He was wearing a brown, long sleeved shirt, finger-less gloves, a teal hoodie tied around his waist, and dark brown pants with a teal strip, and brown and gold shoes. His eyes changed every time he blinked.

Beside him was a slightly shorter skeleton who was wearing a yellow jacket, teal shirt and pants, blue and yellow boots, and a yellow and teal cape? With a gold circular crown like thing on his skull, he also has golden eyes. Beside him was an even shorter skeleton who was wearing a blue bandanna, grey shirt, blue pants, blue shoes, and blue gloves. He also had blue eyes. 

I summon three bone attacks and point them at them. "LET HIM GO!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nightmare's POV

I don't know how.....but the kids got away. We are running down an alley we saw them run down. We were just about to give up and go home when we suddenly heard a yell. "LET HIM GO!" 

We look at each other before heading towards the noise. As we were getting closer, I started to feel my brothers positive aura. As we rounded the corner, we saw Sans pointing a bone at each member of Justice Reigns. Sans' brother was being held by Ink. "Put the bones away kid and come with us. We'll give you a better place to stay than on the streets."

At this moment, Cross walked out and stood behind Sans. "Or you can let his brother go, and we can all be on our way."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dream's POV

The kid looked like he was about to put away his attack when suddenly, Cross appeared behind him. "Or you can let his brother go, and we can all be on our way." The kid flinched slightly and looked at Cross before looking back at, most likely, his brother. "This doesn't concern you Cross, get out of here." 

I suddenly see movement down the alley way Cross came from. Slowly Nightmare emerged from the shadows, the rest of his gang following suite. "Actually, dear brother, it does." I looked at Ink and Blue before sighing and signalling to Ink to put the kid down. He quickly ran to his brother, causing the other to drop his attack. "Sans!"

"Papyrus!"

As the two were hugging, we quickly left, not wanting to risk the kids getting hurt if a fight broke out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sans' POV

While I was hugging Paps, I felt something cold and slimy wrap around my waist before pulling me up to be eye level with the octopus. "Sans!" He looked at me with a smirk on his face. "I have just figured out how you can pay us back for stealing that 200. And the save from my brother and his friends." I glared at him. "And if I was to refuse?"

"Then you will most likely be separated from your brother. My brother doesn't give up easily, so it would be in both of your best interest to take what I'm about to offer." I glare at him for a moment before looking down at Paps, seeing him be held by his shoulders by the one known as Cross. I sigh before looking back into the icy blue eye. "Alright, I'm listening."

I did it!

What is Nightmare going to offer?

I don't know, but it's gonna be something.

Until next time.

Sumnerd Out!
