Revisited Hostilities [Chara]

[W.D. Gaster]

"Understood and I see you are still doing as well as ever Flowey." he concluded as he hurried himself as well, catching up with Chara and Flowey.

Thankfully, they were ahead of him and therefore, this should be much quicker. However, it didn't stop Prometheus from floating ahead of the group and looking around before returning back to Gaster's side; they were on the right path.

Everyone in the group is not only wary of the surroundings but of each other. The silence of the forest and the ambiance it brings peace to the situation somehow at best. Though, as long as they don't encounter anything threatening, they would be good but as they walked on, the day was passing, the sun was slowly shifting to the western of the horizon from past midpoint in the sky.  It wouldn't be for a few good hours before sunset which meant it would be awhile before darkness falls; this was good. They were making progress, well, steady progress at best.

There was eventually a steady breeze that would blow through, shifting the leaves of the surrounding trees but only by a bit.

Deeper and deeper the forest they went, the sound of rushing water from nearby was flowing every so steadily and calmly. However, as they were nearing closer and closer towards Ambrosia, there was something of a presence: a military-like one as there were some people scattered around in the horizon.

Seems like they have company..

"Hold it!" exclaimed a voice from in front before one of the individuals approached from a distance, causing Gaster to stop as they approached. They looked Human, albeit a scrawny fellow with brown hair, blue eyes, tan skin and had something resembling some sort of uniform; they were shorter than Gaster in height no doubt but also a bit on the short side of things for a Human.

The first reaction to the stranger was Prometheus floating in front and growling at the other, scaring the other a bit and causing him to jump back. "Nice, floating skull thing. Don't hurt me! I'm not a fighter!"

"Easy Prometheus." sighed Gaster albeit he did had a bit of a smirk from the blaster being protective. Immediately, Prometheus looked to Gaster before back to the stranger, growling again, before it floated back to his side. As he looked down at the other, Gaster clasped his hands. "Apologies. They are making sure nothing was going to happen. In short, protection reasoning to ensure our group travel is successful."

"Oh, oh no! I'm fine. Haha, sorry. I'm not used to seeing, well that around. Hoo, that was scary." they panted tiredly before they looked back to the unfamiliar group of monsters, a plant and a Human. "A-anyways, I'm a scout and I'm making sure nothing shady gets through to Ambrosia. So, first off, who are you and what is your business? You look unfamiliar."

"My name is W.D. Gaster and I'm en route to Ambrosia. This girl, Chara, needs to see a doctor and we can't hesitate any further, she is terribly poisoned." he answered calmly before the other pointed to Flowey. "Then what is that thing? The flower with a face?"

"The flower goes by Flowey." he explained. "Is there a problem sir?"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ollie annnd I'm afraid so. You don't want to go into the city with.." He pointed to Prometheus. "..that hovering around. You might scare some of the denizens and you really don't want to make enemies with the guards. Bad news all around, haha. I mean, we have to deal with Camelot, then those Koopas from the Koopa Kingdom in Ashen Steppes and the other factions around here. It's one noisy neighborhood, if one or more of us, are out of control."

Gaster crossed his arms for a bit. "I understand. However, to explain with the situation with Prometheus, besides means of extra safety in the forest, I used them to be our lead to the city."

"Oh, d-does it track or something?" the other asked as he looked at Prometheus with a tilt of his head Gaster nodded,"Yes, it tracks. Only magical energy from monsters of the Underground. However, the source seems to be coming from the city after all, however, if it's for the safety of the populace, I will abide."

Gaster looked to Prometheus and smiled, "You did well, take your rest."

With the waver of his hand, it wasn't long before the blaster was teleported out of sight, calming the scout a bit if not having him look to Gaster more closely and curiously. "Is there anything else or are we done here?"

Ollie nodded. "Proceed however be prepared to be stopped at the city gates, haha. The reason why is because the Princess is currently out and we are here to ensure nothing else comes to harm it and so we have to make sure that everything is in order and everyone is safe. It's our duty and well, you don't want to annoy the higher ups..especially Undyne..she kinda scares me, haha.."

With a hint of curiosity, Gaster rose one of his arms and touched his lower skull with his skeletal hand. As with an apprehensive look, he asked,"If I may inquire, who is this Princess?"

"Princess Guu? Oh, um, she is the head of the Ambrosia faction and if you desire to reach her, you are going have to speak with Undyne or someone else associated. Her Palace is currently on lock-down until her return." he answered before Gaster nodded. "Understood."

"I'll go ahead and make my way back to inform the others since you are in a hurry. Be careful and have a nice day, Mr. Gaster! Oh and feel better soon, Ms. Chara! Be good for the doctor okay?" the scout answered speeding off before Gaster sighed, lowering his arms again.

In the aftermath, now they are wondering about this Princess Guu; they followed the direction that the scout came from to approach the city.

There's one Human gone, another left to get to the settlement ahead, if not a third counting the situation.
