*At Brandon’s bedroom, 9:00 pm*

After having a big dinner with his family and friends, Brandon and his family were all in their beds after a long day. He really enjoyed spending time with them, even if it was only for a few hours. He looked at the gemstone as it sparkled in the light. “I wonder how it even got in my bag or where it came from”, Brandon question. "I bet I could make a ton of money if I sell this to a jeweler"

After looking at the gemstone, Brandon then pulled out his phone and looked at the news. Most of the news was mostly about the upcoming presidential election campaign. There was one news article about a tragic incident in Japan. He pressed the play button on the video.

“What was once a peaceful village, now has people panicking and screaming. The villagers had just witnessed an explosion in one of the Japanese castles on the side of the mountain. Government officials in Japan speculated that someone could have used a rocket launcher, If so who did this and why. One of the villagers claimed that they saw someone with a green hooded robe and light purple mask. People speculated if this a terrorist act or a group of cultist destroying cities and harming civilians. The government hopes to find out more and investigate this further”.

Brandon couldn’t believe this would appear on the news already. He wasn't surprised by this info at all, he already knew that this happened because he was there when it happened. Not only that but during that time one of his partners was killed during the scene.

*Flashback*

“Don’t worry Pat I got you”

“Thanks Brandon”

*Bang*

“PAT”

*Flashback ends*

Brandon hated that memory of what happened. Questions started lingering in Brandon like “Why did this happen” or “Why would they do this”. So many questions were concerning to him that made him feel uneasy and horrified about the situation. What if he was targeted by someone without even knowing it?

He began to notice another news article about some sort of terrorist organization that attacked and harmed civilians five days ago. It then said on how this was done by a bunch of people wearing purple masks, which then got the governments attention. "First Japan now this, when does this stop",He said to himself.

His eyelids began to start getting heavy. Brandon then started to fall asleep, while having a dream of a certain memory that happened 3 years ago.

*Brandon's house. April 12, 2013. 3:30*

Brandon unlocked the front door with his key that his mother gave him whenever she was still at work or grocery shopping. He looked behind himself and made sure that no one was following him. 'Well this is a good thing that I have a spare key with me, otherwise I wouldn't be sneaky enough to break in',Brandon thought.

Brandon began to close the door behind him and locked it. Brandon noticed that his house was empty as there were nothing inside. No furniture, no pictures hanging on the walls, nothing.

But it didn’t matter to him since he was getting one thing from his house. He went through the hallway and into his mother’s bedroom.

He then began to go near the floor vault that was on the left side of her bed. He started to go near the floor vault that had a digital key pad. He put in the four digit numbers 9280 which then beeped that it was unlocked. 'Wow I cannot believe nobody even dared to open the vault to see what was inside',Brandon thought sarcastically.

He opened the vault and saw what he was looking for. Inside was his mother’s will that showed legal guardianship for Brandon to be taken care by his grandparents. “No turning back now”,Brandon said to himself.

Brandon grabbed his mother's will, but then realized that a photo fell out from one of the pages of the will. He grabbed the photo, which then reveiled a picture of him as a baby and a female adult. The female had blue eyes, golden hair and tan skin. She was wearing a pink sweater and a pair of glasses.

Brandon began to feel sad about what happened to her. The thought of losing his own mother made him shed some tears, which one of them fell on the picture. He regretted the fact that someone killed her and he couldn't do anything to save her. What's worse is that his mother's death happen in front of him.

But Was it worth it? Are these criminals proud of committing murder? In fact are they even human?

Brandon's thoughts were interrupted as he began to wipe away his tears from his eyes, while trying to not get so emotional. ‘Get it together Brandon, you got what you came for’,Brandon thought to himself..

Brandon put his mother’s will in his book bag. He then began to sneak to the front door, but didn’t notice that someone else was inside watching.

“And just what do you think you are doing”,A female voice said.

Brandon completely froze by the sound of the voice. He then turned around and saw an adult female woman with glasses and a business dress. He knew exactly who this person was, but didn’t care.

“I’m doing the right thing, Jessica”,He said calmly.

“By what exactly, breaking into a random house?”,Jessica said.

“Excuse me, but I will have you know that this house belonged to me and my mother. It was our home that we lived in and now it looks like we had our shit stolen. Someone must make amends",Brandon explained.

“But your mother isn’t here, and beside you can't just run away from us. You need to come back to the foster home, it's where you live now”,Jessica explained.

"No",Brandon said sternly.

Jessica was surprised by the answer he gave to her. Did he just refuse to her? "I'm sorry, but that wasn't a option",She said bluntly.

Brandon couldn't believe that he was just hearing this crap from a woman who didn't know about what happened to his mother. Hearing that made Brandon's anger to start rising. "I don't give a shit if it was a option or not. The only thing I care about is going after my mom's killer and being left alone",He stated angrily.

"And why would I-"

"BECAUSE I SAW WHAT HAPPENED",Brandon shouted. "And you thought that putting me in a foster home is the smartest idea, then your Damn wrong".

"It's my responsibility to take care of you",Jessica said.

"Not a chance in hell. This mad grab for control, it ends now ",Brandon said angrily. Brandon then began to break the window by jumping out of it. He then landed on the ground with his body. He got back up again and started running for his life. He then heard the woman's again, but this time it was more serious and angry. "YOU GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANCE YOUNG MAN",she shouted.

“Bite me bitch”,Brandon said out loud. Brandon didn't listen to what this woman wanted, the only thing he cared about was getting away from her.

As he continued running, he glanced behind himself to see the woman trying to catch up to him. Lucky for Brandon since he has longer legs, but it wasn't enough to get rid of her.

He then headed towards where some of the trees were in the forest and hid behind one.

He then heard Jessica calling for him. "COME OUT THIS INSTANT, I WON'T TOLERATE YOU RUNNING AND HIDING",Jessica stated while shouting.

Brandon paused while hiding next to tree. He wasn't comfortable with being taken to a foster home since he didn't like the idea. Not only that, but there has been rumors of suspicious activity going on in the one near Rochester.

One of the rumors was that there was domestic abuse going on in that place. The other was not having the freedom or rights to do stuff. These rumors started to make Brandon's anger rise even more, but then calmed down and waited for Jessica to leave.

Brandon started to hold his breath for 30 seconds as Jessica began to look for him. He then slowly look out from both sides of the tree, and noticed that she was gone.

Brandon then began to release his breath.'Looks like I lost her for now',He thought to himself. Brandon started to begin running again.

He continued running through the park until he stopped to see a giant hole in front of him. This hole was just as big as a car and was in the middle of the field.

Brandon did not know how this hole got here or what it was doing here. He then wondered where this hole lead to or if this hole was bottomless.

"That's far enough",Jessica said sternly.

Brandon turned around and saw Jessica standing there after chasing him. Brandon felt unhappy and tired out because of what was happening. "Come back with me to the foster home this instant. Otherwise I will call the authorities and-"

"I cannot, I will not let this happen. If you won’t leave me alone, then so be it",Brandon said in a mix of anger and sadness.

Brandon began to come near the hole and started to do a backwards leap of faith. As he was about to do that, he began to give Jessica the middle finger to her while he jumped. He then began to close his eyes as he continued falling.

*Next morning*

It was Sunday Morning. As Brandon's family got out of bed, Brandon himself had woken up to the sound of footsteps.

Brandon then started to sit on his bed. ‘I can’t believe that I still remember that memory. Even though it happened 3 years ago, I still couldn’t let that go’,Brandon thought.

Frisk then opened the door and saw Brandon sitting on his bed. “Hey Brandon. Me, Azzy and Chara were wondering if you want to hang out at the mall with Bobbie and Tai"

Brandon looked at Frisk. “Sure thing”,He said as he grinned. Frisk then left his room and Brandon began to get dressed.

He changed from his pjs into his red hoodie, black fingerless gloves, yellow t-shirt, black track pants and yellow Adidas shoes.

*The Stewartville Cemetery, 10:00 AM*

It was a beautiful day outside. The birds were singing, and the flowers were blooming. This was a perfect day to be outside having fun in the sunshine. What Brandon was doing was somewhat different, in fact he was in the cemetery carrying a bunch of flowers while having his hood up.

He walked to a tombstone and then stopped to place the flowers near the tombstone. Brandon took his hood off and looked at the tombstone. "Hey Mom",He said in a sad tone.

The tombstone had the name of his previous mother before Toriel.

In memory of a loving mother

Misty Clarke

September 19th, 1976 - April 9th, 2013

"Sorry I haven't been visiting you that much. Things have been often busy and what not for me",Brandon said while looking down. “But don’t worry, Toriel and Asgore have been taking care of me”

Brandon looked at his mother's tombstone again while smiling. "So Monsters and Humans have been getting along nicely, except we may have a few issues. Mettaton(the robot I have told you about before) is enjoying his life as a entertainment star, while going on tour with some people. Plus me, my family and friends all had dinner when I got back from Japan",He explained awkwardly.

What Brandon said was in fact true. For three years, Monsters and humans have been trying to get along and live together peacefully. It may have taken a few months to get Monsters their citizenship and everything, but it was a big change for the U.S. Brandon is happy that Asriel and Chara are alive again enjoying the surface. Alphys is doing cool research in the science department. Toriel is loves teaching kids at the elementary school in Stewartville. Papyrus enjoys making different types of pasta with Brandon. Undyne loves the training he and his siblings do on Fridays. Asgore is content with all the gardening he does. Sans is just being his usual self and Mettaton is now one of everyone’s favorite celebrity.

Brandon however had one problem he was dealing with in his social life. Every since that woman with green hair appeared 3 years ago, Brandon was looking for information about where she was last seen or her whereabouts. The only reason he was doing this was because she killed his mother and made him watch. He will never forget that face or what she looked like.

As he was thinking, Brandon started to sense that someone was behind him. He didn’t know who it was or what they wanted, but it didn’t feel right.

“Awwww ain’t that cute. This little punk is giving his respects to his dead Mommy”

Brandon then turned around to see three guys behind him. It was three random guys that looked like they were twenty or twenty one years old.

The first had short spiky hair, the second had long spikey hair and the third had wavy hair. Brandon looked at them suspiciously.

“Can I help you guys with something”,Brandon asked cautiously.

“You must be Brandon Dreemurr”,The one guy said in a sadistic voice.

Brandon got confused with how he knew his name. “You know me”,Brandon said.

"Everyone knows you as the kid who let monsters out of their stupid prison 3 years ago",The second guy said.

After what one of them said, Brandon got a little angry at the moment. "Excuse me",Brandon said in confusion and anger.

"You herd us, we know that you freed those Monsters long ago. Which is why we're going to kill those monsters who you call family and friends. And we're going to make you watch"

After hearing what that guy said, Brandon got angry but he remained calm at the moment. He knew what this was all about. While Monsters and Humans are living together in peace, there were some who didn’t like the idea at all. This then led to some problems with people protesting and saying it’s a bad idea. Some even sent death threats to monsters, but got arrested for even to try and do that to them.

Brandon looked at them with serious look. “I don’t think that you realized that sending death threats is just stupid, dumb and just plain wrong. So let me say this to get it through your thick skulls”,Brandon said.

Brandon’s irises changed from hazel to red. “If you dare try to harm Monsters or my family and friends, you are really not going to like what happens next”,He added with a little bit of a demonic voice.

The first guy smirked as he heard that statement. His buddies however chuckled a little bit. “Do you really mean that or are you trying to scare me away with that big talk”.

“I’m giving you guys a chance to walk away from this peacefully, or else your going to have a bad time”,Brandon stated seriously.

The first guy then started to crack his knuckles, the second began to pull out a pocket knife out and the third did nothing but stand there. “Let’s get him boys”

They all walked up to Brandon at moment. Brandon however got into his fighting stance. The first guy came up to throw a right hook punch at Brandon’s face.

Brandon grabbed his right arm with his left hand and then elbowed him in the face with a his right arm. He then did a push kick on the first guy’s chest.

He then noticed the second guy coming at him with a pocket knife in his left hand. Brandon immediately did a jackknife kick on his left hand.

This made him lose his pocket from his left hand. The second guy began to throw a left hook punch at Brandon, which he then caught at the right moment. Brandon then grabbed his head and kneed him in the face.

The second guy grabbed his pocket knife and began to get up off the ground. He then began to pull out a monster plushie and smirked when came up with an idea. “Hey monster lover”,The second guy said.

Brandon looked at the second guy who was holding the plushie in his left hand and his pocket knife on his right hand. He began stabbing the chest area of the plushie multiple times.

Brandon then realized what the second guy was trying to show, which made him furious. Brandon then proceeded to duck from the first and third guys punching him in the face. He then did a sideways hammer fist on both the first and third Guy's gut with both of his fists. This caused them to fall on the ground from the hit on their stomachs.

Brandon then Created a burst of explosive flames to propel off the ground and charged at the second guy. The second guy dropped the monster plushie and was about to swing his pocket knife. He then paused as Brandon touched the ground with his fist, which then created another burst of explosive flames. This time it propelled him upward and over the second guy while doing a 360 front flip. Brandon then landed and threw a straight punch at the second guys face, knocking him out instantly and fall on the ground.

Brandon looked at the three guys who were laying on the ground. The two were groaning in pain from getting hit in the gut, and the one who was knocked out at the moment. “Are you done trying to hit me”,Brandon said while crossing his arms.

The first guy got up and looked at Brandon with anger in his eyes. "You shouldn't have messed with-"

Before he could even finish his sentence, the three random guys suddenly disappeared magically in front of Brandon's eyes. Brandon looked shocked and confused with what just happened or where those guys went.

"What the F**k",He muttered.

"Hey kiddo"

Brandon looked behind him and saw Sans with nervousness on his face.”Sans what are you doing here",He asked.

"Just came to see what you were up to",Sans said nervously. "Hope you weren't bonely without me".

Brandon put his hands on his hips while giving a stern look at Sans. "Well I was paying my respects to my mother Misty, but suddenly three guys tried to beat me up",Brandon stated. "But looking at the fact that they just magically disappeared, you probably used your "Shortcuts" on them"

Sans managed to calm down and talked normal. "Well Tibia honest those guys were bothering you, so I got rid of them",He said calmly.

"I know right, It has been so frustrating to deal with these kinds of a-holes and jackasses for three years",Brandon explained furiously. "Especially when all you guys are trying to do is enjoy your lives on the surface"

Sans looked at Brandon with curiosity. "What are you trying to imply here"

"Look man some people are getting fucked up all around the world, because someone is killing humans left to right",He replied calmly. "I mean look there's the homie James over, little devil is over there and big devil is over there",Brandon said as he pointed at the random tombstones.

"And your telling me this because?",He questioned.

"Look I just want you guys to keep an eye socket for suspicious activity around these parts",Brandon stated. "I made a promise to Frisk that you guys would be safe, and I am not going to break it anytime soon"

Sans looked at Brandon with nervousness. He didn't know that he cared that much about humans and monsters that much. Even when he tried to make a joke or pun, Brandon would try to make him take it seriously because of a "Murderous demon" killing humans with nature.

"Um kid I-"

Sans got interrupted by Brandon hugging him. "Promise me that you will be careful",Brandon asked.

Sans hugged Brandon back. "I promise kid",Sans said.

To be honest, he hates making promises to anyone in general. But seeing Brandon behave like this made feel like he should do it to not make Brandon or anyone worry.

After They each other go, Brandon then looked Sans with curiousness. "By the way Sans, was there another reason you came to see me",Brandon asked.

"I just wanted to know if you want to go to Grillby's with me",He asked.

Brandon looked at his watch and then back at Sans. "Sure what time?",He asked.

"At 7 if that's okay with you",Sans added.

Brandon then smiled at Sans. "Of course. I will see you at 7",Brandon replied.

"See ya",Sans said back.

Sans then used a shortcut to his house while Brandon watched him leave. To him, Sans was the strangest skeleton he had ever seen. When Brandon first met him, he thought that Sans was out for his soul. Now he was just a Skeleton who tells bad puns and jokes, while somewhat having a serious persona.

Brandon's thoughts were cut off when he realized that the three guys that attacked him suddenly disappeared in front of him. 'I wonder were they went......you know what, never mind',He thought.

*Somewhere in Florida*

The three guys magically appeared in the middle of the beach. The first guy was about to get his pistol from his back pocket and point it at nothing.

"Me",The first guy finished.

He then realized that he wasn't pointing at Brandon, or more importantly he realized he wasn't at the cemetery in Minnesota. This only irritated him and his two buddies even more so, due to the fact that they went all the way to Minnesota only to be teleported back to Florida.

The second guy kicked the sand in frustration. "Are you fucking kidding me right now. We first got our asses handed to a 16 year old teenager and now we got teleported back to we came from",He shouted.

“I know what you mean Chuck. Now we have to go back there again, hopefully we get rid of him and those monsters”,The first guy said.

The third guy got up and dusted himself off. He then looked at the two guys with concern. “Hey guys I feel like we would more likely get caught if we keep doing this. Plus if we go back to Minnesota again, we would more likely to get caught”,The third guy said.

The first guy looked at the third one. "Are you trying to wuss out on this will",He said.

"Look Tom all I am trying to say is that we should be careful of what we do, since now he is aware of our presence",Will said being cautious.

Tom looked unhappy about the situation. Knowing that this plan was a big fail that left them humiliated and embarrassed, they all went home to relax. Little did they know that someone was watching them from behind.

*At Alphys's and Undyne's house, 12:30 pm*

After dealing with the three guys at the Cemetery, Brandon got a call from Undyne about something she wants to tell him at her place. This made Brandon suspicious about what was going on, or even the fact that it was important.

Brandon decided to head over there after hanging out in the mall with his friends. He then proceeded to go and knock on the door.

Undyne opened the door and saw Brandon standing. "Come on in",She said.

Brandon came inside and shut the door behind him. He then came into the living room, noticing a few pictures of Undyne and Alphys. Along with that were a few posters of Mew mew kissy cutie and other Anime shows on the wall, a flatscreen tv with a DVD player and a Xbox one, and a square clock hanging on the wall.

But all of that was not what Brandon was focused on, he turned his attention to the teenager who was sitting on the couch.

He had chocolate brown hair that fell straight with a slight tan. He had hazel eyes, and tan skin. He looked tall, about the same height as Brandon.

Brandon looked at Undyne with a straight face. "Undyne could you please explain to me why you have a stranger in your house",he asked.

Undyne rubbed the back of her head while looking nervous. "Well you see that's the reason why I brought you here",She said.

*A few minutes later*

After telling him about what happened in Colorado, Brandon was shocked to hear that the stranger(or Joey Steffen as he is called now) was one of the survivors. The only big mystery was how he got here in the first place.

Brandon looked at Undyne. "I can't believe this mess happened in the first place. Are you guys currently watching over him right now",He asked.

"We pretty much are since we got this punk enrolled at your school. Plus now that he is living with us, we gave him a bedroom of his own",Undyne said.

Joey was just sitting on the couch, unhappy with this conversation. “I had enough of this. I’m going to my room”,He said.

He then got up from the couch and headed to his bedroom. He shut his bedroom door and not noticing that Undyne or Brandon were watching him. "What's his problem?",Brandon asked.

Undyne sighed in frustration. "He has been avoiding me and Alphys lately ever since he appeared right in our front yard five days ago",She replied.

"Did he ever tell you why he was acting like this?",Brandon asked.

"Well he didn't say, but I think that his parents were killed in front of him",Undyne said sadly.

Brandon looked at Undyne horrified and sadden by what he heard. “He lost his parents. Damn, I feel bad for him already",He said.

"And since we have been given the responsibility to take care of him, we were hoping you could help him open up at School tomorrow",Undyne stated.

Brandon looked down at thought to himself. After thinking for about 10 seconds, he then looked at Undyne.

“Alright I will see if can get him to open up at School”, He said.

Undyne smiled as she grabbed Brandon with a headlock. “Thanks Brandon, I knew I can count on you”,She said.

After their conversation, Brandon went back home to relax for today. He hoped that he could talk to this Joey person and figure out how to open him up even more.

*At Brandon's house, 9:00 pm*

Brandon was laying in bed after a long crazy day. He first had to deal with three a-holes who tried to beat him up and now he just met one of the survivors from Colorado. He wonders what other crazy thing is going to happen next. He then started to fall asleep while having another dream of a mysterious place.

Brandon woke up and got up only to find out that he wasn't in his own room. He then found himself staring at someone who was sitting at his office desk.

The figure was wearing a black lab coat and pants. He has a white, distorted and cracked face. His hands had giant holes.

He was sitting there gazing into Brandon's soul. "Welcome to the phantom room. My name is W.D Gaster",He said.

Hearing this Brandon got confused for a moment. "Allow me to explain. This place only exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. It's a room that only you can enter throughout your journey",He continued.

Before Brandon could say anything a woman with dark gray skin and wavy light brown hair. “And I will be also here to accompany you on your journey as well, you may call me Com”,She said.

“As of now, you’re welcomed here as our guest. We look forward to seeing you more often on your journey”,Gaster said.

*At Stewartville High School, 2:55 pm*

As everyone was going to their lockers after their long first day, Brandon was grabbing his stuff from his locker.

During that time he was curious about that dream he had last night. So many questions raced inside his head like “Who were those people” and “What do they mean by journey”.

Other than that, the rest of the day was alright to him. Some of his classes were good and some were boring including Algebra.

“Hey Brandon”

Brandon looked at the person standing next to him. A Vietnamese with hazel eyes, black wavy hair and tan skin. He was wearing a blue hoodie, black jeans, fingerless gloves and green converse shoes.

Brandon smiled as he knew who this person. “Hey Tai what’s good”, He said.

Tai smiled back at him. “Nothing much you”,He replied back.

“Same here man. What are you doing man”,Brandon asked.

“I was wondering if we could hang out later today”,Tai said.

Brandon then shut his locker and look at him. “Sure thing, lets head back to my place”,He replied happily.

“Great”,Tai said in happiness.

Brandon and Tai were then walking to the back door to the School building. As Tai opened the back door, he noticed a giant flash that made him and Brandon cover his eyes.

*Ponyville, 12:00 am*

As the flash was gone, Brandon and Tai opened their eyes to realize it was dark outside. Not only that but they looked around to realize that they were in a town of some sort.

Brandon looked behind him only to realize that the school they came out of was gone and replaced by a forest. “That’s weird, where are we”,Brandon said suspiciously.

Tai looked at the town with a curious look. “Maybe we could ask someone”,Tai said.

Brandon and Tai then headed in the town, hoping to ask someone for guidance.
