Frisk somehow managed to get past the extremely deadly traps that the Terrible Papyrus had set up. There were so many times they had to reload a save point. It was almost maddening. It seemed as if they weren't gonna catch a break at all today. One huge difference after another. First, Toriel tried to set them on fire and make them a kebab in the ruins. Then there was Sans and Papyrus, constantly fighting each other, and mocking each other. If it weren't for that, Frisk wasn't sure if they would have ever made it past even the first trap. Everyone was so different. Frisk wondered if there was any way things could get back to normal.

Briskly trudging through the snow. They planned on simply running through Snowdin, or hopefully find some monster who won't try to eat them. They took a deep breath as soon as they saw the lights in the distance. It was time. Maybe if the monsters weren't so blood-crazed. They would probably have a normal sleep schedule. A couple monsters could be seen outside of the bunny shop. One was selling some sort of plant Frisk had never seen before. The other monster growled at the price he had to pay, but he reached into his pocket and paid anyway. Absolutely everything was different. Frisk was hiding along the trees right by the edge of the town, hoping that no one would see them in the shadows. They were just passing Grillby's until they heard the window of the bar shatter. It was one of the dog monsters. Doggo fell on his ass out in the cold snow, spitting blood, trying to pull shards of glass out of his arms and shoulders. The door quickly flew open and Doggo quickly tried to crawl away, only to lose balance and fall again. Frisk expected Grillby, or any other monster. But instead, it was a tall man. He wore a large biker jacket which was opened up. A black wife beater could be seen from under it. He had on large black leather gloves, reaching for something hidden underneath the jacket. He wore black jeans along with black boots. The man had a black bandanna tied around his face, hiding most of his face. All that Frisk could really see was his pale skin, his long loose white hair, and his violet eyes, a large scar could be seen over his right eye. Frisk squinted and also saw that the man had a chain necklace with a cross on it.

"Habriel?" Frisk gasped silently.

"Please!" Doggo pleaded. "Just let me go! I'll get you your money! Just give me a few days." Habriel paused and stared at Doggo for a couple seconds, and revealed what he was hiding under his coat. It was a handgun with a silencer attached to it. Habriel flipped the safety and cocked the gun. Doggo screamed in terror before Habriel pointed it right at the monster's head and pulled the trigger. A large splatter of blood soon appeared in the snow around the monster, that was all that was left of Doggo. Before his body dissipated into a pile of ash and his soul shattered.

"Should have paid on the deadline...." Habriel said nonchalantly. His voice was so deep, Frisk could hardly recognize it. Then again, Habriel here is much older than the one they knew. Not to mention, much colder than the one they knew. The normal one would never have done what they had just seen. Meanwhile this one did so without a second thought. He put the gun back in his holster and walked back into Grillby's.

"You're gonna pay for that, asshole!" Grillby shouted. Habriel shrugged it off, pulled out a handful of gold and tossed it to the bartender, who caught it and growled at the man. Habriel didn't care though. He shrugged it off and walked out of the bar. He was slowly making his way towards something, somewhere away from Snowdin. Frisk had no idea, they were about to follow him to find out more until they tripped over a vine on the ground and landed face first into a tree.

Habriel spun around and pointed his gun to where Frisk was hiding in a split second. Frisk got up and saw that Habriel already had his gun out, pointing at them. "Come on out." Habriel said. "No point in hiding, I already know you're there."

Against every fiber of their being, Frisk came out of hiding from within the bushes. It was either they come out, Habriel shoots them and they get the whole mess done and over with, or Habriel chases them across the Underground and shoots them when they're tired from all the running. They didn't feel like dragging this out, so they chose the former. Habriel widened his eyes in shock when he saw Frisk come out from the bushes.

"What the fuck?" he gasped as he put his gun away. "What's a little kid doing here?"

'What are you doing here?' Frisk thought. 'Barrier's not even destroyed yet.'

"How'd you get here, kid?" he asked. Frisk thought he already knew the answer to that. But they decided they didn't want to mess with him.

"From the ruins...." Frisk muttered.

"The ruins?" Habriel muttered to himself. He was in deep thought for a second, but put all of his focus back on Frisk. "Was there anyone there when you were around?" he asked.

"Yeah." Frisk said. "Everyone who usually lives in the ruins are there. A group of Froggits, some Whimsun, and mo-Toriel."

"Toriel!?" Habriel gasped. "That name! Was she a goat woman about this high?" he asked raising his arm about a foot over his head. "Could she throw fireballs at you?" Frisk nodded their head. "Thanks kid." he said while pulling out his gun again.

"What are you doing?" Frisk gasped. They stepped in Habriel's way.

"Gotta pay that bitch back for this little beauty." Habriel said, pointing at the scar over his eye. "Fucking cannibals think they can get away with everything."

"Please don't kill her!" Frisk said. "I know she doesn't seem like that nice of a person right now. But I know she can be a very kindhearted person if she tried. There was a time where I could call her mother, even."

"Kid, maybe you misheard me." Habriel bent down, now at Frisk's level. "She's a cannibal. She tries to eat any human that comes down here. I tried to save my sister when we both fell down here by accident. I pleaded for her to spare Aliyah. You know what she gave me?" Frisk shrugged. He pointed at his scar again. He then pulled out his necklace. "This is all I have left of her. So let me repeat myself, right now. This crazy bitch had it coming."

Determined, Frisk held out their arms, blocking Habriel even more. "I won't let you!" Frisk shouted. "It's bad enough that everyone's crazy! I don't need all my friends killing each other too!" Habriel sighed and stood up for a second. He looked over to where they were hiding for a second. Frisk thought that he would just turn around and walk away, or at least say something like 'You're right.' Instead, he pointed the gun right at their forehead. Frisk widened their eyes in shock at the cold stare Habriel was giving them. He pulled the trigger before they could even gasp.

SAVE LOADED

Back outside of Snowdin. Frisk dropped to their knees, hyperventilating. They soon grabbed their chest and their vision began to blur as tear drops fell onto the snow beneath them. Frisk just knelt there, sobbing for a few minutes. They eventually calmed down, wiping all the tears and snot away with their sleeve. They got up and slowly made their way through the trees right by the edge of Snowdin. They were passing by Grillby's as they saw Habriel shoot Doggo in the head again, and slowly walk away like it was nothing after paying Grillby for the property damage. More tears came down their cheeks, but they made sure not to make a sound, and made sure to be careful of where they were stepping when they were making their way past the village. They looked back at Snowdin one last time and sighed. It was time to go to the Waterfall.
This was a little idea that popped into my head. What do ya guys think?

Before anyone asks. No this obviously isn't canon to Bound Together. This was much more of me thinking 'What if Habriel was in Underfell?'
