Warnings: Probably some swearing.

Despite the efforts, the world still shook. The sky went red. The inevitable was truly inevitable. Or... Was it?

No matter where you were, it was the same: The flash that seered the back of your vision, the crumbling of the earth beneath feet as it opened to swallow all that resided on it, the scream of an astral body that was breathing its last. And then there was darkness. Heat, and then icy cold.

The darkness stretched into forever. If one didn't know any better, they'd think they died.

Maybe they did.

Yet it was not the end. The dark faded. Life was still steady in their veins despite it all, and with a lurch and a rush of air in the lungs, our wayward Smash Academy residents would find themselves in a distinctly different place than they would have expected. A bedroom, a garden, an unknown rooftop. Wherever they were, they were alive and they were whole.

And, quite possibly they were not alone.

Where they were, however, was unclear. If they were lucky (?) enough to be outside, everything smelled new. Crisp air, fresh soil, a smattering of scents they've never encountered. Those that awoke inside somewhere were the majority, and while it was a new place to be, it was most certainly not new. Dust, mildew, the creak and groan of wood long since untouched, and the shadows of a place only lit by daylight.

What a dump.

Jolt blinked. "How'd... How'd you do that?" He asked, suddenly very confused. There was no actual food in sight in the kitchen, just equipment. Was this monster magic at work?

It was indeed!

"JUST A FEW THINGS I HAD IN MY INVENTORY! NOW THEN, TO BEGIN WITH THE SAUCE! And he started...punching the vegetables in a bowl.

Jolt watched him pulverize the vegetables, nodding. "So you said Undyne taught you to make spaghetti? She's pretty awesome," he replied.

Jolt no, don't encourage this...

"SHE REALLY IS! SHE'S CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD!" The...sauce ready, he focuses on the noodles. With just as much might, he throws them into the pot and adds water. He puts the heat on as high as it will go and stirs faster than one can track!

Jolt couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous sight. "Hey, if we ever get the internet back here, remind me to show you my internet cooking show," he said. "I think you'd find it pretty informational."

"OOH, I DO LIKE COOKING WITH A KILLER ROBOT ON THE MTT NETWORK!" Soon, Jolt has a steaming plate of spaghetti in front of him!

"NOW, GET READY TO HAVE YOUR TASTEBUDS TANTILIZED!"

"Your TV sounds awesome," Jolt said.

"All right! Let's dig in and see how this..."

And then he tasted the spaghetti.

He chewed.

He tried not to let his face change expression. What was he tasting...

Papyrus is beaming with excited anticipation!

"I CAN TELL YOU MUST REALLY LIKE IT!"

"It's... nice... Crunchy..."

Jolt swallowed. Why did he swallow.

Papyrus however, was ecstatic.

"I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!"

"Y'know, we should totally get back on the search," Jolt said, hoping he could escape having to eat more.

"YOU'RE RIGHT! I MUST FIND SANS AT ONCE!"

"Right! C'mon!" Jolt said, hopping up from the table and away from the skelegetti. "At least we know where the kitchen is for later. So let's keep looking. Maybe there's even cooler stuff around here too!"

"RIGHT! THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY PLACES THAT HE CAN HIDE!"

"So you said your bro likes to sleep. My brother Bulba loves plants, and my brother Char loves meat. So if there's a garden around here, we might find Bulba there. And if there's hunting grounds, probably Char. As for the boss... He's gotta be worried sick about us all..."

"THEN, WE CAN FIND THEM WHILE LOOKING IN THOSE PLACES FOR MY BROTHER!"

"Then let the hunt begin!"

Jolt started to lead the way as they left the kitchen, and the spaghetti nightmare, behind. "Thing is, there's no guarantee your brother ended up here too," he said. "I haven't seen anyone I know since the moon landed... For all I know, I may be the only one who survived. But I'm holding out hope, you know?"

"NEVER GIVE UP HOPE! YOU WILL FIND YOUR BROTHERS!"

"Heh... Never give a guy a chance to have a bad mood, huh?" Jolt asked with a bit of a smirk.

Their travels took them to what looked like a living room of sorts. Sort of a dorm common area, with couches, tables, and a layer of dust so thick it made everything look like it was a dull gray colour. It tickled Jolt's nose just walking in here. "Geez... What a mess."

Papyrus grinned in response.

"HMM! ONCE WE LOCATE OUR BROTHERS, SOME SERIOUS CLEANING NEEDS TO HAPPEN!"

"Think you can convince your brother to help?" Jolt asked, running his finger through some dust, and immediately shaking it off. "Char, no. Bulba would take one look at this and jump at it."

"NO, BUT, IT WILL BE GOOD TO KNOW WHERE HE IS!"

"Not a team player, is he?" Jolt asked with a chuckle.

"HE'S QUITE LAZY! THOUGH, HE'S DOING BETTER NOW THAT WE'RE ON THE SURFACE!"

"Got it. Well, if we do find him, there's no shortage of people who would line up to whip him into shape, believe me," Jolt added. He waved Papyrus ahead as they started searching. "Looks like a bunch of rooms... You check that side and I'll check this side?" he suggested as they arrived in the dormitory hallway.
