Run Away: Kanto

Onwards...

No One's POV, 11th Feb 2019, 8:00AM. Ebott Island

Undyne and Alphys both walk into Sans' and Papyrus' house, which was currently occupied by Papyrus, Toriel and the Dreemurr children. "HELLO YOU TWO! WHAT BRINGS YOU INTO OUR HUMBLE ABODE THIS FINE MORNING?" Papyrus greeted the two warmly. The two wore uncertain expresssions. Papyrus noticed this and steeled himself for whatever news he was going to get.

"Well, we probably should have been more careful in just reporting Sans for 'intentionally' harming Frisk. A good majority of the anti-monster party is using this incident as an argument that Monsters are too dangerous for them to live in harmony with." Undyne explained, knowing Alphys was still overthinking the situation and was pretty nervous.

"What? You have got to be kidding me!" The three adults in the entrance room looked up towards the stairs, where they saw the three children coming down. Toriel was off cooking the children's breakfast before they headed to school. "AH! THERE YOU LOT ARE. COME ON, GO INTO THE KITCHEN. YOUR MOTHER HAS PROBABLY FINISHED MAKING YOU ALL YOUR BREAKFAST!" Papyrus told the children. 

Chara quickly shook her head. 

"No no, that can wait a few extra minutes. What were you talking about these anti-monster party people?" Chara said, a dangerous undertone to her voice that translated to "Tell me now or regret it later." Undyne rolled her eyes at Chara's antics. "Yes, you heard us correctly punk. And believe me, none of us are happy about this either." Undyne said, pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration.

"But haven't you told them it was an accident that occurred while Sans was actually trying to protect me?" Frisk said, worry seeping into her voice. Alphys nodded. "W-w-we have, b-but t-t-t-they don't want t-t-to l-listen t-to us, i-it seems." Alphys stuttered out nervously. It seems she has managed to get her nerves together.

"That's so annoying. What are you guys going to do about it?" Asriel asked. Undyne shrugged. "We're still thinking about it. We're technically walking on very thin ice. If I had to be brutally honest, the one big reason we're not being steamrolled by anti-monster punks, is surprisingly because of Mettaton." Undyne mused. The children and even Papyrus looked pretty shocked.

"What?" They all asked collectively, not knowing how the dramatic robot could be such a big buffer between them and people who didn't want them up on the surface.

"Yeah, a lot of the humans actually really seem to love him, so obviously this respect not only affects Mettaton, but extends to basically all of Monsterkind, as that was where Mettaton came from."

Oh. That explained it.

To be fair, this was very true. Mettaton's debut to stardom and fame was actually when the main monsters (Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Asgore, Asriel, Frisk, Chara and Sans) had their interview, shortly after they were (just barely) accepted in by large majority of humankind. Mettaton, being the, well, robot he was, showed off and gave a dramatic show. Surprisingly, a lot of humans watching that interview became fans of Mettaton.

And now?

Mettaton has his own TV show. Said robot was actually not on Ebott Island; He was in the states performing on a 'world tour' of his. It's been successful thus far.

"Anyways, you punks head off to the kitchen to eat and get ready for school!" Undyne ordered. Reluctantly and knowing that they would be late if they did otherwise, the three children headed over to the kitchen, where they were greeted by a warm "Good morning!" from Toriel.
