Frisk's eyes widened slowly as if she recognized the strange skeleton soldier in front of them. "Pa..Papyrus?" She asked bewildered and confused. The Skeleton soldier nodded and appeared to smile, Frisk proceeded to run up to the Soldier Papyrus and hugged him in front of the confused Jack. "I..I thought you went to the surface?" Papyrus said looking at her worried, "its...a long story Paps, Wh..what happened to you? What happened to Snowdin?" She questions still in his long patted arms embracing him. His smile began to fade into a stony cold stoic look. "I..I'll explain everything once we get into Zone Alpha." Papyrus said getting up holstering his rifle. "Zone Alpha?" Frisk asked genuinely bewildered, "...Grillby's..." The tall skeleton said grimly as he shoved his helmet on looking at her, he then walked away leaving Frisk and Jack to follow him. Jack Slowly stands up and puts a hand on the small Child, "Cmon, Lets go get some rest for once" Jack say as he limps with frisk next to him. They follow Papyrus into what seemed to be an entrance into a makeshift Fortress with a Fence-like gate guarded by two soldiers that wore the similar attire as Papyrus on the other side. One of the soldiers went up to the gate and faced Papyrus behind it, "Identification" The soldier said stoically at The skeleton in front of him. Papyrus then proceeds to grab his assault rifle by the stock and the muzzle and puts it up to the fence. The soldier inspects the weapon and nods his head, "Welcome home Paps" Said the soldier as he opens the gate. Papyrus then holster his weapon and walks through, as he does this Frisk and Jack notice the words "" etched onto the Base of the Weapon. The two looked at each other confused, then followed Papyrus to a broken down building with two metal panels in front of the building that had the words "" spelled in dripping black Spray-paint. Papyrus took off his helmet and went inside, Frisk looked frightened until Jack softly puts his hand on the child's head. "Just stick close to me and keep your head down, Remember...everything's gonna be okay" Jack said in a soft voice as he kneels to Frisk's level, She smiles and hugs Jack keeping close to him. Jack proceeds to limp with Frisk into the building.

When the two humans got inside the half destroyed building they were met with tens of monsters chatting and eating food that looked less then sanitary, Papyrus could be seen at what seemed to be a bar sitting next to a shorter hooded figure. The two were speaking to each other which Jack nor Frisk could make out with all the noise from the other monsters inside the complex. As the two humans got closer to the Skeleton soldier, he looks behind himself to see them. "Frisk, you mind if we sit at that booth over there?" Papyrus said with a warm smile, which unnerved Frisk do to her remembering a more "Energetic" Skeleton. "U..umm sure, can mister Jack come?" Frisk asks with a cute smile hiding her slight fear of the state of Snowdin Town and her long lost friend. "Actually, I want it to be personal...catch up on old times" Paps says as Jack looks at him with untrusting eyes. Frisk looked a tad nervous watching Jack look at Papyrus, The Skeleton then gave a low, warm chuckle as he looked at the small child. "Nyeh heh, you cant be that nervous. Cmon, ill get us some food" Papyrus said as he stood from his stool and walked to Frisk. She looks at Jack for approval, Jack Looks at her then at Papyrus then back at her and nodded. Frisk smiled and walked with Papyrus to an empty booth and sat down. Jack Watched all this until he felt a strange impulse to sit next to the strange figure that was speaking to Papyrus. He looked around then quickly sat down in the Stool next to the stranger. Jack proceeded to take out his empty flask and pretended to drink, "that's not foolin anyone buddy" The hooded figure said in a deep yet cocky voice as he took a sip of some Vodka with a strange red substance within it. Jack froze as he pretended to take a sip, "okay BUDDY, maybe you can introduce yourself?" Jack said as He glared at the stranger. "heh...lets just say I'm your friend..." The stranger said in a calm attitude. Jack was strangely disturbed by his calm attitude, "You don't need to worry Soldier boy, Frisks safe." the stranger muttered with a smile under his hood. Jack looked at him with a surprised look as though he read his mind. Suddenly a Monster soldier opens the door fast causing everyone to look at him including Jack, The Monster Looks at Papyrus and blurts out "Kni..Knight Ember, we found an intruder near Headquarters Sir!" The soldier then runs out of the Broken down saloon. Papyrus Proceeds to get out of his seat and go to the door but then stops to look at Frisk, "I'll be back in a few minutes, just enjoy the drinks and I'll be back in a jiff!" The tall skeleton soldier says quickly before power walking out of the slightly broken door. Jack Being suspicious of the skeleton decides to get up and walk to the door. He was then stopped in his tracks when the Hooded spoke one last response, "just remember soldier boy, you don't know what's outside this place." Jack looked back surprised at his comment. Jack also noticed that everyone didn't react to the strangers sentence, they just kept eating or playing cards. The soldier squints at the stranger when he lifts his shot of vodka as if to say cheers. Jack then leaves the building, unknowingly followed by a curious Frisk.

As Jack walked through the door, he noticed a crowed of monsters and soldiers around a fortified two story wooden house with old fashioned Gatling guns on both sides of the house. Curious but suspicious, Jack walks slowly with his hands in his pockets to keep himself warm still unaware of Frisk following behind him. The soldier slips slowly through the crowd until he reached the front to see what seemed to be two soldiers and Papyrus beating up someone who wasn't fighting back from Jack's position, "So you think you can come into MY HEADQUATERS and Steel MY RATIONS?!" Papyrus yells as he grabs the human by Their shirt. "L..LISTEN MAN! I..I was only hungry...it was an honest mistake...P..PLEASE DONT KILL ME!" The Person pleaded, strangely their voice sounded very familiar to Jack. "Smalls?" Jack whispers to himself, he makes a split decision and pushes Papyrus away from the person causing both to fall. "WHAT THE HELL!" yells Papyrus as he stands up to his feet. Jack Ignored Papyrus as he looked at the Downed person who was a Human with blonde hair and blue eyes, it was Smalls. "P..Papa Bear?" Smalls exclaims in a shaky scared voice as Jack helps him up. Suddenly Jack is Grabbed by Papyrus until he pushes him away, after this the Skeleton dusts off his armor and composes himself trying not to get angry. "HUMAN, Please move out of the way..." After Papyrus says this, Jack only stared stoically at him with a long silence and a build up of tension in the air. This silence built Papyrus's anger causing him to silently clench his fist, "I'll Ask one more time HUMAN, move out of the way..." Papyrus gritted his teeth as he said this, but yet only more tension grew. "NO..." Jack simply said staring into Papyrus's soul. Papyrus then sighed, "And I thought this was gonna be easy." Not even two seconds after Papyrus says this, he punches Jack square in the jaw with enough force to knock him down into the snowy, Muddy ground! Seconds Only few gasps heard including one from Frisk who was hidden well enough not to be seen by Papyrus and Jack. After a brief silence, Jack got his feet and wiped blood from his mouth. "Alright, MY TURN!" Jack exclaims before he unleashes a uppercut to the Jawbone of papyrus! At that moment both of the soldier combatants tackle each other into savage brawl of wits! Both Soldiers were equally skilled meaning each hit from both was powerful and hard. During the escalation of their beat down, Jack tackles Papyrus to the ground causing mud and the small amount of their blood to splatter everywhere. At this moment Jack began punching the skeleton's skull causing it to slightly crack but then was stopped when Jack felt the sharp end of a RUSTED Commando knife nudging at his stomach! "What's your next move...the crowds waiting..." Papyrus's snarky response pushed Jack to his limits! In only TWO single seconds, Jack took out general valaskez's knife and pointed to Papyrus's would-be throat! "My next move, is either LIFE or DEATH" The Lieutenant said whilst gritting his teeth and bringing the knife closer to the Skeleton's neck. Suddenly all Muscles in Jack's body stops as he feels the coold tip of a pistol on the back of his neck!
