So, before we get started on what happens AFTER Asgore declares war on humanity, and get into the other humans that fell... We don't actually know which human fell right after Chara-Using the coffins, we get Bravery. Using the placements of the items, however, Bravery couldn't have gone first, because then, the item wouldn't have been placed in the Box, with nobody before us picking it up! Trying to find out what order the humans fell in based on items is something so complex.. Even I haven't been able to do it properly. (You have to gather up where the items were before they were placed where we find them, like the Empty Gun starting in the Garbage Dump.. Then look at what order would result in the items plausibly ending up where they all are without a human just trading their [potential] Empty Gun for a Faded Ribbon, for example. You might even have to add Chara and their Worn Dagger into the equation. If I did manage to do this, that'd be a theory of its own.)

You can try to find out what order they fell all you like, but I'll simply refer to the humans by the order they fell, since that'll actually help us make a proper timeline.

Part 3-In The Absence of Asriel...

Since the monsters were going to have to collect SOULs, to later use them, Asgore, possibly with the help of Gaster, made the SOUL containers. Why he didn't just decide to absorb each SOUL one after the other? ..Nobody thought to mention that. (And by the time he got the specifics down, he already decided he didn't want this after all.. But he already set his plan into motion, so it was too late. This became something he felt he had to do, to fulfill his word.)

The Royal Guard was created, tasked with hunting down humans who came, so that their SOULs may be brought to Asgore. Gerson was the captain of said Royal Guard, for being the Hammer of Justice in the war! Meanwhile, in the Ruins, Toriel checked by each day to find out if another human fell, so that she could take them in, and protect them from Asgore.

Eventually, the next human fell. Toriel took them as her own child:Likely because since she couldn't bear the loss of Chara and Asriel.. She probably wanted this human to fill the void that her first children left. While the human did stay for a while, they wanted to go home. They left the Ruins, trying to reach the Surface... But got killed off instead.

And then it happened again. And again. And again.

Gaster, now with human SOULs to experiment on, could begin his experiments. He was researching time travel, trying to find a way to travel freely across time and space, utilizing the power of determination. If he could replicate the SAVE property of determination... he could go back to before the war, and turn the tides in the monsters' favor, rather than the humans'. He'd develop Gaster Blasters, to then get used in the distant past.. And save monsterkind, by wiping out humanity.

But unfortunately for him, his experiments went wrong. Instead of being able to travel across time and space, he was shattered across time and space-His life was cut short. And the machine? It broke!

Asgore searched far and wide for a Royal Scientist.. But he simply couldn't find one to properly match the brilliance of the last one!

Around this point, Undyne began training, after trying and failing to beat Asgore in combat. Eventually, she succeeded in beating Asgore in combat, and eventually did so well, that with Gerson about to retire, she became the new Captain of the Royal Guard!

And then, another human fell. And yet, another.

Papyrus and Sans showed up in Snowdin, Papyrus befriended Undyne, and eventually decided he wanted to join the Royal Guard-Then, he'd truly be popular. So, he went to Undyne's house, asking to join.. But he was rejected, because it was midnight. But he was still there the next morning, so Undyne took him in training for his enthusiasm. And then, Papyrus set out.. To capture a human! ...But he had never met one just yet. Sans would help him out, though.

Until he discovered the door to the Ruins. And practiced a knock-knock joke. And found someone on the other side. This someone was Toriel, and eventually, she asked him to promise to protect any human who went through the door. ..He accepted the promise, despite hating them, because of Toriel's integrity.

And so.. He'd only PRETEND to help Papyrus capture a human.. While really helping the human out. Of course, this happened after the last human before us fell, so we're the only ones being protected by Sans.

And that's the end of Part 3! And believe it or not, everything I'll be going over in future parts happened perhaps at most two months before the events of Undertale!
