Undyne turned to look at Papyrus with a long, hard gaze as he assured her; taking a moment to glance at Lily when he mentioned her before looking back at him.
"Alright, I trust you. Thanks." she answered. Papyrus would notice a significant amount of resistance drop from being healed by the skeleton; however there still was still a lingering, light resistance which still remained. It didn't hinder his ability to heal at all, just required a small amount of extra effort into doing so. The minute resistance, is likely linked to the warrior's stubbornness and tenacity.

Her attention was brought back to him a short time later when he addressed her name and she nodded, "So the more conjurations of different signatures we have on the field the better. Thanks again." the Captain replied before showing a thumbs up towards Sans' direction. Soon after several dozen spears were summoned in the air above them and they were soon sent flying in circles around and above the mechanical beast; whilst also keeping a safe distance from friendlies.

Soon after Undyne found herself entangled by the bull's grappling hook and was fighting the pull with her green magic. She too noticed the familiar grip upon her soul, immediately deducing it to belong to Papyrus seeing as Sans was currently out of action. For a moment she too found the combined forces of magic seemed complimentary for the mean time, but said thoughts were pushed aside just as J.O.H.N. had charged and pinned Undyne down and caused for further harm.

The blaster summoned to gnaw at the cable was successful in snapping it after several bites and pulls whilst Undyne braced herself by summoning a spear to bite into with her teeth at the skeleton's mildly apologetic warning. She muffled a pained groan by clenching her teeth and lips together against the weapon as she felt the fractures and broken bones in her feet were being set and realigned with Papyrus' blue magic. She sighed out with relief as the healing magic filled her body, already making most of the pain go away and for the broken and fractured bones to heal. With the more grievous injuries healed first, Undyne and Papyrus would probably hear a popping and creaking sound of sorts as her dislocated left hip was pushed back into place and her left knee rolled back into its proper position after being dislocated and offset at an almost ninety degree angle to the side.

Once promptly having her lower half healed, Undyne felt the bed of bones being summoned beneath her, the blaster's familiar cry which bellowed its shining beam through the dirt beneath did startle the fish monster just before she was pulled from underneath J.O.H.N., causing for the mechanical marvel's head to plunge deeper into the earth whilst the rest of its body didn't shift positions much at all. After taking in several breaths, and whilst probably recommended by most healers that one should rest after just being healed, Undyne rolled onto her front and gradually and steadily made it back up onto her feet. Her legs quivered for a moment as it readjusted to the change of centre of gravity and minor after effects from healing, she grinned and slapped a grateful hand to Papyrus' shoulder with a mild shake as a sign of yet another 'thank you', but this time opting to show it rather than say it.


-----

Sans chuckled at his brother's comments about the canine guards, "That's quite the name. I might end up calling it Fal." he jested before raising a curious eye ridge, "Pack? How many are there? They're house broken right?"
His smile grew nervous about Papyrus' acknowledgement of being a favorable target, but he did make an a soft, amused noise at the commented about dodging, "Whelp, glad to hear it'll be useful."

-----

Austin heard the question being called out to him, "In theory, naw it shouldn't. Ah'm not a hundred percent sure on the count ah haven't really tested it since before ah transferred - or copied, ah still ain't sure on that either - my mind ter this here machine..." he paused as he thought over it carefully, clearly not wanting to make a mistake and certainly had that primal instinct to simply live, "Naw, ah should be okay."

---

A soft chuckle rumbled from Austin at June's confirmation, "Yeah, yer right. Never change sis... 'n' that's fair enough. Let's get the heck outta here!" If he could smile, he would have been now, delighted in seeing his sister still looking up to him so highly with that heart comment; if he could hug her, he certainly wouldn't hesitate to do so.

[Battery: 57%]
[Extraordinary Mystical Shield: 73%]

At the realization that its target was no longer pinned down and upon recognizing the group plotting against it, the A.I. instinctively dropped its weight onto June, only to find it was still being held up by those shields she had summoned during its attempt to prevent Austin being taken out. The shields seemed to have been able to hold the machine's titanic weight, but probably for not much longer than the time June needed to extract her brother if the screeches of protest from the shields were any indication. Did it know June was under there? It was hard to say, even for Austin.

Finally the newly-Justice-filled-Asfaloth rammed into J.OH.N., sending a spectrum of artificial cries and error notification sounds to blare from it. It was pushed to the side slightly, but more importantly, the majority of the damage done was to the E.M. Shield.

[Extraordinary Mystical Shield: 13%]

Feeling disorientated from the clash and the number of magical signatures of numerous conjurations currently present, the bull made another attempt to crush the shield which protected June as she began the extraction of her brother. However, before it could proceed to do so, fifteen E.D. units flocked up to it and obscured its vision by hovering noisily about and even pecking at the spotlight in futile attempt to break it just to name one of the few, various things they did to comply with June's command. In response J.O.H.N. bucked its head to try and scatter its avian brethren; utterly distracted.

The two E.D. units were successful in efficiently extracting Austin from the machine; it was rather efficiently compact with a dedicated, tiny speaker attached to it so the others can still hear Austin whenever he chose to speak. In the process of taking Austin out, one of the avian units also pulled out some extra wires, chips and other small parts found in the cavity and handed it over to the last E.D. unit just before it took off to find a monster to upgrade it. These extra parts may, or may not be found useful in aiding the upgrade along side with the extra parts June had of her own.

"... Thanks Junie."

---

The comments and cries from the king were attentively taken note of by Undyne, as she always did whenever Asgore had even but a mere whisper to say. Now, however, didn't seem like the appropriate time to make further comments on it.

----

Asgore had reached the robot just in time, a mere second before the gun was fired, the trident wrenched the gun skyward and the ammunition was launched towards the ceiling; missing anyone in the chamber entirely. From the force of the sudden spearing of the trident, Asgore was successful in bending the metal of the weapon upward so it can no longer be used to fire more projectiles or even slip back into the panel it poked out from. Any buzzsaws J.O.H.N. decided to use clashed against the trident in failed attempt to strike the king.

Metal yowled in protest as the bull staggered from the force of being pushed aside by Asgore, for the monster's height and weight added to the others attacking it, it stumbled over its feet shortly after Austin was removed; and the anti-magic shield was also affected.

[Battery: 43%]
[Extraordinary Mystical Shield: 8%]

---

Upon hearing the gem beast Undyne sighed irritably, pinching the scaly skin between her eyes as she reeled in the influx of a temper she had felt rise into a more controlled, firm tone, "What does it look like we're doing? If you're not going to do anything more maybe start gathering up the other monsters whom aren't fighting the beast and start getting out of here. We're leaving as soon as this is taken care of anyway."

---

Upon hearing the request Sans merely shrugged in the affirmative and loosely tossed the screwdriver into Zydras' hand in an arched formation so it could be easily caught.

When he came back to return the screwdriver, Sans accepted it, "Not a problem dude," he replied, keeping his gaze at eye level. The skeleton wondered what had happened to his clothes, did they get lost or was he parading around in his birthday suit on purpose? Such thoughts were quickly dismissed as he returned his attention to the task at hand.

-----

Shortly after Zydras had tinkered with the E.D. unit and the avian had powered back up and returned to June, the yellow lights in its eyes turned purple just it had leapt onto the human's shoulder. The bird looked about, its movements were organic and fluid and soon a soft chuckle whispered from a crackly speaker, "Ah gotta admit, this here robot-jumpin' is purdy weird. Ah feel as lost as last year's Easter Egg. Ah'm might impressed though."

---

Hearing Toriel giggle and seeing her blush has got to be, in Sans' opinion, one of the prettiest sights he had ever seen. Her giggles were rather contagious as the skeleton joined in with chuckles of his own; getting a little side-tracked from the situation at hand.
"That's really sweet of of you to say Tori. Although. I don't have a heart, so will you be mine instead?" he asked as he cheekily raised his eye-ridges a few times soon after.

His attention was then brought back to the Core, allowing for Sans to ponder a bit longer, "As of now, probably not, but I'm pretty certain that powering it back up might help lower he rising lava. Or at the very least, prevent it from overflowing beyond the chamber."

He then gave a double-thumbs-up after Toriel had summoned the clusters of flickering flames around the bull; watching it struggle further against the waves of monsters - and human - fighting against it. Some of Toriel's flames danced against the magic shield and a loud, artificial bang indicated that something just went wrong with J.O.H.N.

[Battery: 27%]
[Warning. Extraordinary Mystical Shield has been depleted.]

At the alarm the bull panicked, but also in the masses of magical signatures around it, it was not able to lock onto the nearest monster properly to attack - even one as close as Asgore. Several guns were pulled out in response to the depletion of the shield, firing them wildly around it. Maybe some bullets had managed to hit some monsters, or maybe it didn't; whatever the result, it was by sheer luck - or unluckiness. Another shove from June's steed and Asgore was enough to send the bull topping over, not only to its side, but it also fell into the pitfall which was created earlier. J.O.H.N. crashed onto its back deep within the pit; its legs flailing wildly as it struggled to get back onto its feet. From the looks of it, the sheer size, weight ad design of it might prove impossible for it to do alone.

[…Just like that, someone that I saw myself in, someone I confided in, someone I trusted, someone that understood me, someone that was proof Monsters weren’ all bad… Just… Betrayed me. Proving absolutely goddam squat.]

[So tell me again, when a person seeks to be the hope of their people, but then steals the hope from others, what are they? They’re trash. They’re fake. They’re pure evil. Nothin’ more.]

“Heavens to Betsy…” Austin uttered weakly; shortly after hearing the conclusion of the audio log. The fighting words of his sister clearly had a lasting impact on the now-sentient bull; causing for the cogs to turn and steam being ejected from his nostrils as he allowed for what he had heard to sink in.

Seeing as it was just a recording of June retelling her tale of what happened to her, he didn’t get to witness the vision the human soul had projected her last moments; but she also didn’t need to. Soon after the bull’s spotlight wondered about the different members of the group, seeing as all but the king was dressed in formal attire, he wasn’t sure who was whom from his sister’s story.  When the spotlight lingered on the king, Austin’s new ‘eye’ burned red.
“So yer one of ‘em. I'll remember you.” he growled as his spotlight kept searching.

After a minute of falling silent the machine sighed a synthetic ambience before a panel on it’s back flipped open and a rounded, medium-sized canon poked out, pouting up at the ceiling at a forty-five degree angle. It soon fired a series of fist-size projectiles at a rapid rate, to which they attached themselves along the edges of the chamber and once the circle was complete, the canon disappeared back into it’s slot and a low humming bounced off of the walls. Possibly due to whatever-those-thing-were, being activated or communicating with each other. Monsters with extraordinary senses, powers or by any means otherwise, will notice that their senses have been limited to not beyond the chamber they were in.

Upon hearing June’s warning he quickly replied with a , “You got it.” But soon found his attempt to jump them all out of there failed.
“Uh, guys.” Sans whispered as his lights flickered upward warily, “I’m not sure if I can shortcut anyone out of here.”

While still beside Papyrus, and not making any sudden moves, the skeleton slowly reached for Toriel’s hand and held it tight, hoping to give a reassuring squeeze.

“Ah’m sorry Junie, can’t allow you to do that.” her brother sighed regrettably and apologetically when she gave out the commands to the E.D.s, “Ah know you love yer critters but sometimes y’all gotta put down the dangerous ones.”

More steam was ejected from the bull’s nostrils, “Alright, listen up y’all, none-o-ya are goin’ anywhere ‘til this here injustice gets resolved, ya hear!” he boomed as his front hoof repeatedly dug at the ground beneath him, “Now, by the sounds of it, at least one o’ ya’ll gotta be sentient. So that’s good, means ah won’t be wastin’ my breath, maybe. Ah ain’t supposed ter be conscious in this here machine unless somethin’ went really wrong. So let’s see… J.O.H.N. run a diagnostics scan on what happened to ya…”

The rest of the audio was a recording of the song Gust had been playing and singing to, completely overlapping any conversations held between monsters until the cheetah monster had turned his player off; to which the audio file also stopped playing.

Immediately the red spotlight fell upon Sans with both rail guns pointed a him. More steam was exhaled.

“Woah, there buddy.” Sans quickly commented gently, before raising both hands  out in front of him, his fingers brushed briefly across Papyrus’ back as a subtle indication of which direction he was going to move.  So, then with his hands held out in front of him Sans slid across to the left side of the group, paying careful attention to make sure that no one was behind him. His left eye socket lit up a bright cyan, building up a burst of magic in anticipation. His left fingers curled in the air slightly and he was standing in somewhat of a half-squat and on the balls of his feet; ready to move if it was needed.

[Extraordinary Mystic Nullifying Rail Gun primed.]

“C’mon now. See, we’re not going anywhere. We can talk about this and resolve it, right? No need for that.”

His eyes flickered up to the Core, already seeing parts of it shutting down layer by layer. Sans’ eye socket burned brighter as he in kind built up more magic with hopes of being able to dodge in time.

A bright light started to build up at the mouth of the Nullifying Rail Gun..

“Yer responsible for what happened to J.O.H.N.” Austin growled, “If ah didn’t go the extra mile J.O.H.N. woulda’ been stuck down here and June wouldn’t have been able to go home. Yer just as bad as the rest o’ them.”

[Initiating launch.]

That was just the moment’s notice Sans needed just as the Nullifying Rail Gun fired Sans had taken his brother with him as they disappeared through one of his shortcuts and reappeared several feet away from where they were standing; away from the group. His left eye socket was still flickering a bright cyan hue as he watched the beam of bright light shot past the group and Austin turned to look at the new location of the skeletons. Probably with surprise?
“So. We got here a slippery one. No matter, it won’t make a difference.”

Sans sighed after seeing that the beam had struck no one and he took a few more steps to the side away from the group. Watching another exhale of steam to fizzle out.
“Hey.” he called out to the bull, grin widening, “What did the steam say to the robot?”
The red spotlight remained on Sans, “He ain’t serious…”
Sans waited enough for a dramatic pause to take its full effect before clicking his fingers and pointed both indexes at Austin, “Hey buddy, ya 'mist'.”
The robot in question didn’t seem to respond to the humor, instead cogs kept turning within as he watched Sans.

The elder skeleton’s grin lessened as he can just come to two realizations – and it wasn’t relating to the joke either. One being, that the E.M.N. beam hadn’t detonated and second, the lack of any sounds to indicate that the beam had collided with something – such as a wall. He dared to turn around.

What could be seen is that the beam of white light had slowed down to a speed which could be manageable to track with the naked eye of anyone’s. Not only that, the beam had changed direction and travelled up the wall, arched it’s way back before it set off a few sonic booms to exponentially increase its speed as it hurdled down towards Sans.

With just enough moments to spare, Sans was able to leap to the side just as the beam shot past him; separating him from Papyrus. The beam, once again slowed down before taking a number of erratic turns in the air before redirecting itself back to Sans once again. The skeleton vanished into one of his shortcuts once again, the beam ricochet several times around the chamber until Sans reappeared on one of the upper levels of the chamber. The beam instantaneously shot upwards, increasing its speed as soon as it was on the straight.

“You can keep runnin’ as much as you want, but soon enough you’ll be worn slap out. Machines, however, don’t.”

The Sentry once again disappeared through a shortcut and summoned a small platform of bones on the opposite chamber wall, to which he landed on. Sweat started to pour from his skull as he watched very carefully as the beam of light arched its way back to him. Following after two walls of bones – one white and one blue - were shot out from the ceiling, just wide enough to encompass the width of the beam. Much to his dismay, the magically summoned bones were no match as the beam bulldozed through them; shattering bones by blasting holes through them. Next, Sans summoned more bones from the ceiling, only instead of serving the purpose of walls, he punched through boulders; carefully timing them to collide with the beam, only for it to change direction around each of them before firing straight at him.

Undyne shook her head in disbelief and marched forward, “Call off the attack!” she demanded.

Sans reappeared on another higher part of the chamber, opposite to where he was; keeping a safe distance from the group.

Receiving no acknowledgement from the robot Undyne took another step forward, past June, “I said, call off the attack!”

This time he summoned a long line of Blasters facing each other, all primed. As the beam of light flew between the Blasters, said skulls primed their attacks and fired. Only for their beams to be deflected; some burning through the walls, some destroying other Blasters whilst others simply fizzled out on contact.

Sans then vanished and reappeared a shirt distance away from Austin.  He was hunched over, breathing laboriously for the constant use of his magic to dodge was starting to take a toll on him. He didn’t dare look at any of his allies.
“Ugh… that being said…” he huffed, keeping a look out for the incoming beam, “You, uh, really like steering that thing around huh…  listen, friendship… it’s really great, right? How about it?”


Sans was asking to be spared.


Austin didn’t reply to Sans and the skeleton vanished just before the beam shot through just where he was standing previously before arching up and towards the ceiling again. The ground shook as the mechanical bull lowered it’s head slightly just as the Core had shut down temporarily. The Core shoot violently as the temperature sky rocketed, various sections going critical and the lava started to rise slowly whatever was left in its reserves was being forced down to the robot attached to it.

“Huh. That’s interesting. Looks like I still got enough juice for one more shot. Good work Junie, J.O.H.N. has been hooked up long enough for this.”

[Electromagnetic Rail Gun Primed.]
[…]
[Predicting coordinates.]

When the second, lethal Rail Gun pointed upwards and redirected it’s canon to face a specific, upper, left-hand corner of the chamber. With a gasp Undyne took off, charging towards the bull.
“NO! CALL OFF THE ATTACK!”

Sans repeatedly vanished and reappeared at various parts of the upper levels of the chamber, trying to keep a safe distance from the others, but the more he kept short-cutting, the sloppier he got with each movement. The beam continued to take sharp, erratic turns, eventually herding the skeleton to the corner.

“An eye for an eye.”

[Target locked.]

The Sentry then came into view, unawares; resting on the ledge J.O.H.N. had predicted where he would land. The Electromagnetic Rail Gun yowled out a cry as it quickly charged up it’s blast.

“GNNAAAAAA!” a mighty cry boomed as the blue monster leapt from her feet and grasped onto the bull’s horns and jerked it violently to the side, just as the rail gun fired.

---

“Argk!”

Sans just about leapt out of his dress shoes when the projectile from the lethal rail gun shot right in front of him; just barely scraping past him  and slammed into the wall beside the skeleton. In a brief moment of horror and odd fascination, Sans stared at  the freshly made hole beside him – which, from the looks of it, just kept going deeper and deeper into darkness.

[Target missed.]

[…]

[Target within range. Commence EMN Detonation.]

Sans’ lights wen out at the realization and as a last stretched attempt, four blasters were sent flying his way with their jaws open just before the blast.  An explosion of bright light erupted from the higher level and shimmering sparkles rained from above; sending that blast of a pulse the monsters had grown familiar with. Being so close each and every one of them, for a fleeting few seconds, felt completely displaced; similarly to a feeling of losing the sense of touch, blindness and deafness all at once.

One by one the bones in the ceiling and the Blasters in the sky fell like rain. The lights of the Blaster Skulls faded as they all hit the ground surrounding the group of monsters – one of which was sent falling on top of them – whilst others fell and dissolved in the pools of lava.

Once the light cleared from the pulse, another bulge fell from the sky; from the looks of it was the four Blasters stacked and over biting each other. Their skulls with **** and with a gaping hole near the centre. The Blaster Ball came crashing down to the ground, topping and turning as it threatened to fall off the edge if no one reacted quickly enough.

---

Undyne fell to the ground in an heavy heap.  She couldn’t hear anything beyond a loud, high-pitched ringing in her ears. Her vision blurry and she felt numb all over. The fish monster coughed, watching a plume of dust escape her lips and after blinking a few times she realized she felt a thin layer of dust covering her as well.

Groaning, Undyne rolled over and tried to get back up, but only fell face-first back down again from such a simple attempt. An irritable growl rattled out as she used her left hand to push herself back up. With a shake of her head she shook off more of that dust which had fallen onto her. It was then an overwhelming ripple of pain shot throughout her right shoulder, catching her off-guard, she let out a sharp scream of agony before biting down on her lower lip to muffle her cries of woe.

It was then she realized that her right arm was completely gone.

With another grunt she quickly reached for the end of her dress and ripped the hem of her cocktail dress off and with some rough coordination between her left hand and teeth, she tied and wrapped it around her wound to help reduce the flow of dust bleeding out.

Austin seemed to struggle with the mechanical body, particularly when his neck started to spark. Undyne might have managed to break something from that sudden, violent reaction. That and, after firing two rail guns it was started to shut down and needed a manual reboot. Still, determined as ever, Austin managed to keep it going a little longer, manually moving each part like a puppet as he then marched towards the group again.

“HEY!” she bellowed, rolling to her feet, “GET BACK HERE!”
“Which one o’ you varmints is this turncoat Captain?!”
Undyne cast one hopeful glance at the group of monsters, while not all of them show initiative, she still had hopes that they would know what to do and to do the right thing. Together.

The fish monsters then sprinted, running in front of the bull and skidding off to the side. Any monster in the group with combat experience, or even just common sense really, could tell that she was trying to redirect the walking gun dispenser’s attention away from the group. So that they could have an opening of some kind – to do something, anything that required attending to in this situation.
“HEY JACKASS!” she bellowed before crossing her left fist over her chest in what appeared to be a more of a military, one-arm salute, “I am Undyne, Captain of the Royal Guard. I murdered June.”

That got his attention.

Even with the bull’s red headlight pointing squarely at Undyne, horns lowered and head bucking aggressively with other weapons besides the railguns drawn and pointed. Even so, Undyne stood tall in her salute when facing the behemoth.

Austin continued to lumber forward, the ground trembled with every step. As time went on he struggled to puppet the machine, but the unseen fury behind that spotlight. Whilst he may be vengeful, he wasn’t impossible.
“ Ah wonder.” Austin seethed, as steam was aggressively ejected from his nostrils, “Is all that talk mimicry? Or can you understand me, monster?”

Undyne’s steely expression sharpened, “Allow me to make myself perfectly clear.” she responded, coiling her hand into a fist. A bright green glow shone from June’s centre, halting her where she stood. There was firmness to that touch, but in no means harmful or forced – as it usually tended to be, “I AM UNDYNE! CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD! I MURDERED YOUR SISTER!”
Immediately afterwards she released June, the green glow faded away just as quickly as it had appeared.

Without a doubt, the bull charged forward, steam continuously huffing out, multiple guns out and firing at a rapid rate towards the Captain.

Seeing Haruno climb back up at the same place she jumped off prior, the E.D.  hopped and scuttled along the spot and kept a yellow eye trained on her. Scratchy recordings sounded from the mechanical bird; though it seemed to be not directed at anyone but itself.

The bird froze for a moment as it seemed to communicate with the E.D. closest to June; within the second shield. With outstretched wings and a burst of steam it leapt to her shoulder.
[June. Do you require us to track the non-sentient?]

After the transmission was sent the bird picked up some words spoken from the gem beast, but it was too quiet to hear.
[Voice command unrecognized. Please stand closer, speak with clarity and try again.]

Seeing the Core overheating, but not anywhere a critical state as of yet, Sans shook his head, "Always thought it was kinda dumb cooling the Core down with blocks of ice from Snowdin. Would have thought the genius behind that would have made a dedicated coolant system for it." he commented with a mild bite to his words.

Sixteen E.D. units did so as they scuttled along the ground towards the colossal-sized mechanical bull. The birds then stretched their wings, crouched and ejected another large burst of steam so that they could make that dramatic ten foot jump and land on J.O.H.N.'s back. The birds scrambled and scuttled in an incoherent mess along its back until it found a row of nine coin-sized holes at either side of its back. Soon some wires were unraveled from the breasts of the mechanical birds and inserted; uploading the information they have gathered from interacting with the monsters.

While the E.D. units were helpful, being machines, they couldn't go against their programming when voice commands were recognized; they too were also assessing the monsters. They recorded how many there were, how many were speaking to them - the robots concluded by their programming that said monsters whom interacted with the E.D.s were considered sentient, which monsters demonstrated prowess, whom were aggressive, whom were passive, whom were assertive, whom were timid,  whom were considered dangerous and whom were considered violent. They asked the monsters if they knew where June was, not because the robots didn't know where they were, but as a part of their assessment of the nearing group.

The bull bucked its head up and down in a repeated motion; causing for the singluar ring piercing it's artificial snout to clang and and clack against the upper and under sides of its head. The singular, yellow, headlight-for-an-eye flickered with aggravation upon realizing that not all E.D.s were there to deliver the information to it; along with hearing June's passionate outcry. The robots didn't appear to recognize the difference between June's form as a soul alone or one with a physical body.

The avian machines seized up and spoke one after the other with the same deep, pre-recorded voice:
[Input command received.]
[User: June recognized.]
[Welcome to the E.D. and J.O.H.N. network interface. We will protect you and adhere to any commands you may have.]
[Command type recognised.]
[Processing...]
A side panel of the bull opened up to reveal an arsenal of different firearms for June to pick from, and once taken from their racks the panel closed up again and the bull resumed it's organic movements; circling around June as long, thick wires connected from its lower back to a base part of the Core. The sixteen E.D. units spread out to the outer perimeters of the island, all of which kept their cautious, yellow eyes on the group from below.
[Charging Juggernaut Optimized for Hazardous Nullification unit.] it decreed, [Electromagnetic Rail Gun primed. Extraordinary Mystic Nullifying Rail Gun primed. Default settings: E.M.N. Non-lethal.]
[Scanning...]
It looked up to the group. The yellow light turned red.
[Hostile detected.]
Loud revving sounds of a large, heavy weapon sounded, along with the entire Core shutting down so suddenly and drastically from having all that power being drained from it all at once caused for the ground to quake. Albeit, not quite as violent as the last one, but still enough to shake the ground about.


If it was sheer luck, pure skill or he just had damn good reflexes, Sans didn't know or stop to think about it. In half a soul beat Sans' left eye flared up as a vehement, cold, blue flame as the icy feeling and pressure of his magic burst out from him; causing for his formal attire to flicker violently about his bones. Monsters with absolutely, incredible, inhuman eyesight would have just barely caught a glimpse of what had just happened; the first being a flash of blinding light from one of the Railguns on the behemoth of a robot's back. Then Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Asriel, Undyne, Asgore, Cherry, Zydras, Muffet, Hiss, Lily, Sakura, Gust, Riverperson, the unconscious guards and Generva had vanished, were propelled suddenly forward and just as their feet touched the ground of the island below; the beam of bright light shot through the air right at where the monsters were standing but a moment before.
[Target within range. Commence EMN Detonation.]
An explosion of bright light erupted from the higher level and shimmering sparkles rained from above; sending that blast of a pulse the monsters had grown familiar with. Being so close each and every one of them, for a fleeting few seconds, felt completely displaced; similarly to a feeling of losing the sense of touch, blindness and deafness all at once.

Sans gasped and leaned against his brother for a moment after pulling these monsters through a shortcut so suddenly and with this many souls present to avoid the collision. After the pulse he welcomed the opportunity to dilute the burning flame to a mere glowing eye which flickered through blues and yellows.
"Oh crap." he breathed with dread, "I don't think I got everyone."
He looked around and realized just who was missing. A very tall monster. It wasn't intentional by any means, but that didn't change the outcome.

[Direct hit. Target neutralized. Threat level: decreased.]
It's eye then reverted back from a violent red to a cautious yellow; and then going out completely. The machine's head lowered as it powered down and the Core went back online.
An E.D. unit scuttled up to June and leapt to their shoulder, [J.O.H.N. requires your attention to go back online. Some of his functionalities are still active, but the efficiency is vastly decreased. Please access the emergency power override panel and re-calibrate J.O.H.N. unit.]

Back on the upper level, just outside the collapsed tunnel, Haruno had taken a direct hit from the blast to her abdomen. She wasn't physically injured in any way, but the magic she possessed from conjuring instruments, drawing strength from or otherwise from the darkness all the way to how she could change clothes at will were depleted. Use of her magic, other than from keeping her form, was repelled and sparked dangerously around her. She would still be conscious, move around, speak and all that, but use of her magic had been utterly taken away from her.

Following up soon after, the small, scratched up television screen on the side of the bull closest to June flicked on as soon as June's voice was recognized. There was no visuals on screen yet, but the recording of a voice June would easily have recognized to have belonged to her eldest brother sounded. His voice sounded just as scratchy and noisy as the prerecorded voices of the robots.
[Hello? June? You must be there if yer hearin' me. Otherwise this here message wouldn'tah started playin'. You haven't forgotten abou' yer goof of a brother, Austin, now have ya?] A forced chuckle rattled through the speakers, [ This is such a relief lil sibs, 'n' don't you worry no nothin'. J.O.H.N. won't hurt you. Please go with it June, we miss you. It's gettin' a mighty quiet around these here parts without ya slingin' those revolvers all mighty impressive-like.]
There was a noticeable pause before a sigh was heard, [Ah 'dun know if you just disappeared because you were taken or ran away from home, but if ah did anythin' to make you mad, ah'm really sorry. Please come back home.]
A click and some static sounded shortly after to indicate the end of the recording.

((A/N: Here we go! Anyone can post now! Please note what happened to Haruno is the result of her actions and lack of actions made in the Mini. Like Gust, she will get her powers back by the end of the mini.))
