Hey, a new story! What the hell happened to your other two? Well, they're still active. In fact, aside from some edits the next chapter of 'Fading Shadows' is already done. So rest assured those who are waiting for 'Fading Shadows' and 'Circus of Dreams', they'll be posted alongside this new, and for the moment, final project (final as in only three active stories at once.) And for those of you who just found this story-Hello. Feel free to take a look at the above two stories. They're really cool. And as always, reviews are appreciated, and wanted.
This story was inspired by many things: One of which being that there aren't enough Earthbound and Undertale Crossovers. So, let's begin!

Chapter 1: Who are these guys?
Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS…
In the early 190Xs, a dark shadow fell over a rural town in Eagleland…
One day, war broke out between the two races…
Shortly after, a married couple mysteriously vanished…
After a long battle, the humans were victorious…
The man's name was George. The woman's name was Maria…
They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell…
Two years later…
Many years later…
George returned home but never told anyone where he had been or what he had done…
MT. EBOTT 201X
Instead, he deeply immersed himself in strange research…
Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return…
As for his wife, Maria…She never returned.
You stumble through the forest.
Trees loom over you, branches reaching out to claw the sky and block the moon. Your vision swims. You continue to stumble. You fall. You get up. When you put a hand to your head, it comes back red.
Your vision swims again. You wince again and clutch your head. You concentrate. The pain fades to a dull throb. You look around you.
The forest is now behind you. You see a mountain range in the distance. A particularly imposing mountain looms before you, pitch black against the shimmering night sky. The mountain calls to you. You muster up your will.
And you walk.
"Oh, this is just great. That stupid kid escaped with that old lady! And you know what's the worst part? It's probably not the first time they escaped either. Y'know, because I can't SAVE or LOAD anymore! The stupid brat must've taken it! Rrrr!"
"But golly, I would've been able to kill that brat and steal their soul. If that old hag hadn't gotten in the way! My petals are still singed!"
"Sigh. Then again, with the ability to SAVE, the idiot could just reset and load, over and over and over. Something's changed. And I don't like it one bit…Still, watching the brat will be interesting. There's no way they'll be able to get through the entire Underground in one piece. Heheh! And even if they do, there's no way they'll be 'clean' and 'pure'. They're going to fall. And when they do? I'll be there. Hahahahah! This day couldn't get any better-Oof! What the heck?!"
When you open your eyes, the night sky isn't what meets you.
You see a cavern roof instead. You blink away spots. Your vision clears. The cavern ceiling fades into darkness. You don't know how you ended up here. But you have the vague feeling that you fell. You sit up. You notice the golden flowers below you. You push slightly. The flowers resist. You hop. You bounce on the flowers. You smile and get up.
Your head swims. You put your hands to your head and concentrate again. You walk. You're not sure where, but you walk. Your footsteps are the only sound in the pitch black cave. You focus on walking. You make it through a stone archway. And you find another golden flower.
"Howdy! I'm Flowey! Flowey the Flower! And-Oh gosh. You don't look good. Are your sure you're okay? Hmm…Someone ought to teach you about the Underground. I guess little ol me will have to do, huh? Ready? Here we go!".
"You idiot…! In this world, it's kill or be killed!"
You walk with Toriel, humming haphazardly, skipping every other step. Toriel just smiles as she walks beside you, moving slowly so her long strides don't outpace you. "My, you seem so happy, my child!" Toriel said.
You nod and tell her that you think today will be a good day. Toriel laughs. "I do hope so, my child. Perhaps today you will try Snail Pie?" You make a face, and Toriel sighs. "You should not be so picky. You never know, you may grow to like it!"
You continue to make the face until Toriel bats you lightly.
"Stop it. Otherwise, your face will freeze like that."
You pause for a moment, before making the face even uglier. That was better.
Toriel laughs again, and you giggle after a short while.
"R-Ribbit!" You both pause, and Toriel narrows her eyes.
"What-?"
A Froggit turns the corner quickly, seemingly afraid. Then it catches sight of Toriel, and it shrinks away, eyes darting around for an escape. Unfortunately, Toriel narrows her eyes and the Froggit freezes.
"What is wrong?" Toriel asks firmly, but gently.
The Froggit is still for a moment and glances nervously at you. You give Froggit an encouraging smile. The Froggit nods after a moment, and gulps.
"Ribbit!"
"Why would anyone pass up an opportunity like this? Die! Ahahaha-!...What? Gah!"
HP 5.
You can barely stand on your feet.
Check: Flowey the Flower
A talking flower.
Attack ?
Defense ?
And that attack would've definitely ended you.
"H-How!? The old hag isn't even here! No one's here to save you! Die!"
Flowey shakes his petals. Bullets fly into the air. Bullets streak through the monochrome world. They fly towards you.
It's a good thing you're wearing your pin.
*ping!*
"I-I don't-! Why?! Why?! Die!"
The ground shakes. Vines erupt from underneath Flowey. Flowey looms over you.
"If bullets don't work, then I'll tear you limb from bloody limb!"
Thorny vines rush towards you. Flowey smiles, teeth barred.
You concentrate.
PP 25.
"That's right, just sit still! I'll take your SOUL as painfully as possible!"
"P…K…"
"Wait, what are you-?"
"Flash!"
"Gah! What the heck's with all this light! What in the-?...Oh, not you agai-!"
You hide behind Toriel as she unleashes an enormous blast of fire. Magic sparked around her, making her fur stand on end. And the torrent of fire she unleashed boiled the air and ground. Bright red and orange flames break the monochrome battlefield, ravenous flames eating everything. Flowey's vines turned to ash immediately as the fire licked them. And Flowey looked at you and Toriel with contempt and loathing. "
"You…! I will kill you!"
You duck behind Toriel. Then you make up your mind and steel yourself. You peek over Toriel's dress and stick your tongue out. "
"W-Why you-!"
The sight of Flowey at a loss for words fills you with DETERMINATION.
Toriel's fire rushed towards Flowey. Flowey glares at you and Toriel.
"This isn't done yet! I'll always be one step behind you!" Then the fire washes over
Then the fire washes over Flowey. There were no screams. Toriel waves her hand, and the fire dies out immediately.
"Though it is unkind to say so, I hope that wretched thing didn't escape," Toriel says, steel in her voice.
You step into the room, Toriel holding onto your shoulder. In the middle of the blackened vines and ash, there was a hole. You shiver, and briefly, you hear Flowey's laughter. Toriel hugs you close.
"Don't worry little one. I won't let anything happen to you."
You enjoy Toriel's hug for a moment. Then you remember the human. Toriel seems to remember too.
"Oh, the human!" You and Toriel turn to see the human.
He's still standing, though he's obviously struggling. His blue shirt had one yellow stripe, meaning he was about the same age as you. He stood taller than you, with scuffed sneakers, grass stained shorts, and a torn shirt. A red bandana was tied around his neck, tied with a golden pin. And a faded red and blue baseball cap rested askew on bright blonde hair. Bright blonde hair matted with blood from a cut. His skin was a pale grey, and his dark eyes were cloudy and unfocused. But he still stood. And he still held a ball of bright light in his hands.
Toriel stepped forward. The boy tensed. Toriel gave a gentle smile.
"Do not be afraid, my child. I am not here to harm you. I am Toriel, caretaker of the RUINS. What is your name?"
The boy wobbled on his feet slightly, and you could see Toriel's desperate wish to run forward and help him. You feel a pang of jealousy. It's immediately quashed by worry for the boy. He didn't look very good…
"Hey…"
The boy stared at you and Toriel, eyes suddenly focused. Toriel smiles.
"Yes, child?"
The boy looks at you. You give him a light wave. The boy smiles, before unsteadily tipping his hat.
"Hey…Nice to meet you…My name is…Ninten…"
And then the boy's eyes roll into the back of his head, and he falls to the ground.
AN 1: Bet ya didn't expect Ninten, did ya?
Why is Ninten in the Underground? What happened to him? And what will he do in the Underground? Will he be a True Pascifist? Or will he go Genocide? Find out ne-!
Flowey: Yeah yeah! Enough with the chit chat. Nobody wants to hear you blather!
Sooo~! What's this then? An 'Author's Note'?
I get it! This is where the idiot who writes this stuff gets to talk to the losers who reads it! Hehehe!
Gosh, isn't this fun? Things really have changed in the Underground!
In fact, I think I want to be part of these 'Author's Notes'! Won't that be fun?
So tune in next time~!
Just remember…
I know who to blame when the real monsters show up.
And I know who to thank when I win!
Hahahahaha!
