Okay...so we could pick apart the various components of this, but I'd rather just ask the broader question.

The basic interpretation of events is as follows: Alphys watches the fight and then starts to evacuate as many monsters as she can; she either forgets to warn Asgore, or does and he ignores the issue; some of the monsters don't believe Alphys and don't evacuate, which is why some monsters are left; Mettaton NEO doesn't attack you (for one of a few different reasons), and then just completely disappears.

So from this basic course of events, what does your explanation accomplish that this one doesn't? Put more directly, why should we adopt your explanation over the more basic one?
