Yumi slammed a hand on the ground. "It's my fault..." she murmured.

"...She.. she wants power.. She'll take over the underground- oh my god, she'll take over the underground!!"

Yumi wiped a single tear from her cheek. "I was too hasty..." she muttered. "It's my fault..."

"Yumi.. it's not.. it's not your fault. We have to stop her."

"Kiara... I'm the one who literally brought the crown straight to her," she murmured. However, she did push herself to her feet.

"..If you're the one who brought it to her.. then you'll have to take it back with me."

She sighed. "I..." she looked away. "Alright," she said softly.

She lightly smiled.

"I'm sure it will go well in the end."

"I hope so..." :Because if it doesn't, it'll likely be my fault...:

"..Now then... we need to escape soon..."

She nodded. "Yeah. We've got to find a way out."

Kiara looked around curiously..

"..hm."

"Any ideas?"

"..I.. ..n..no."

"Well..." she dried her eyes and put on a half fake smile. "Let's just look around then."

Kiara looked around again..

Seeing two white oval shapes..

"Well that's pretty obvious. I say we go look at them," Yumi said. Then, remembering her mistake that mainly led to this mess, she added, "But we should be careful."

"Mhm."

She rather quickly rushed over..

The two ovals looked like mirrors.. but you could see through them.

Seeing through Lucia's eyes.

"What is this..?" Yumi murmured, confused.

..Kiara placed a hand on the 'mirror'.

Slowly, Yumi did the same.

"..This is.. ..this is her vision."

"How..?"

"..I.. I don't know.."

"She did put on the crown... and said you were in the crown..." Yumi murmured. "Then she said something about sending me to your 'cell'... could we be in the crown..?!"

"Yes! This is where SHE'S supposed to be..!"

"Then what happened?" Yumi asked, frightened.

"...She.. ..she took control. ..she took control, and now we're stuck here, since she got the damn crown."

Yumi shook slightly, guilt washing over her once again. "B-But how did she get control..?"

"..."

Kiara went silent, shame overthrowing her other emotions.

"..I.. M-may.. or may not.. have been t-too weak to stop  her.. when she tried.. ahah.."

"She's too strong, though... and you must have been unprepared... it isn't your fault."':But I was too hasty. I shouldn't have let her get the crown so easily! I shouldn't have brought it at all...:

"Her strength is a disguise. She HAS her weak spots, I'm sure of it.."

"But you didn't know her weak spots. You couldn't have known..." Yumi murmured. She held her arms to her chest, looking away. A tear fell down her cheek and she didn't bother to wipe it away.

"...I.. ..I-I need to get out, they can't hurt Asgore!"

She slammed her fist against one of the mirrors. Not even a dent.

Yumi screamed in frustration and shame. She punched the left mirror, a few more tears welling up in her eyes. She punched it again, the drops of salty water streaming down her face. Another outcry of anger. She punched the mirror one more time, tears flowing freely. She let her forehead rest against the mirror, her fury dimming, guilt taking over.

At the second punch..

A part of the mirror cracked.

"..Y-Yumi-!"

Kiara gasped.

She looked up at the crack and gasped as well. "It... it's breaking!" Yumi cried out. Looking down at her hand, she lifted it again, and punched the mirror right where the crack was.

A shard of the mirror dropped..

There was some sort of portal in its place!

Kiara tried to hit it as well, accidentally stabbing her hand with the glass.

Yumi leaned down and picked up the shard. She placed it in her hand and held it tightly, inhaling sharply when it cut through her skin. Two almost parallel lines of blood trickled down her hands, but she didn't care. The point of the shard was aimed towards the mirror, and Yumi hit it against the crack.

More of the mirror shards fell to the ground..

Almost enough space to get into the portal.

Kiara hit the mirror directly, and the rest of the shards COMPLETELY shattered.

"Yes!"

Yumi dropped the shard, which was dripping with her blood. Blood was still welling from the two cuts on her hand, but she didn't notice. Without hesitation, she jumped into the portal, caution being an afterthought that came one second too late.

When Kiara tried, there was an instant reaction.

*BLACKLISTED SOUL DETECTED!

She was suddenly held back by a red chain around her waist.

"N-NO!"

Kiara was held back and Yumi was transported back to the normal world.

When Yumi looked around, she was in the core again.. but the portal was gone.

And so were Lucia and Travis.
