Chapter 1: The Awakening

The core in Hotland was winding down after what seemed to be a long day. Inside the core's resort, the flamboyant robot idol Mettaton stepped off the stage he broadcasted his evening show on and ran a hand through his artificial black hair. The season was changing on the surface and Mettaton was more than excited to begin decorating the core and the resort for the upcoming holiday. He placed fake Jack O'Lanterns in the halls to hide smoke machines, hung fake bats around the lobby of the resort and even went as far as to paint Burgerpants black (much to his disdain). Sometimes Mettaton would call his cousin Napstablook and the little ghost star from Snowdin Lavender to fly through the halls of the resort in order to spook other monsters and even humans that came to stay in the Underground.

Things had seemed to get strange as the season progressed. The power in the core's resort and all throughout Hotland would often short out and cause some of the guests to panic. Mettaton was unphased by this though and thought the momentary shorts of power added to the eeriness of the resort. Alphys tried to talk some sense into Mettaton, but the idol would always avoid the topic by talking about Halloween costumes and even ways to improve his decorations around the core.

"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you Mettaton! The core's power is being drained mysteriously and you aren't doing anything about it! Not only is this affecting the guests at your resort, but the outage is occurring all throughout Hotland! Don't you get how important this is Mettaton?!" Alphys yelled from the dressing room door. "I would do something Alphys dear, but I am far too busy running my show. Believe it or not darling, show business is not easy. Besides I was just able to convince Lavender to come on the show! I even made her a fabulous body to use with the spare parts around your lab!" Mettaton exclaimed from inside the dressing room.

Alphys was getting annoyed with Mettaton ignoring her. She could tell that being rational with him wasn't going to work, but he had given her an idea on the spot. Alphys smirked and leaned against the dressing room door with her arms folded. "You know, if the core runs out of power, you won't be able to film your show today. Which means, no special episode with you and Lavender together." Alphys stated with smug satisfaction, knowing that Mettaton was bound to respond to this. Mettaton was quiet for a few seconds and finally opened the door to the dressing room with an annoyed look on his face. Sadly Alphys was right this time and he knew it. Mettaton grumbled and put his hot pink boots on before walking down the halls of the core.

"That clever little dinosaur. Next time I'll make her go and do this herself. Just because she made my body does not mean that she is my mother!" Mettaton complained as he walked down the halls. It was after he had made his comment that the lights began to flicker again. Instead of remaining on like they usually did after flickering, this time the lights along the hallway all went out and the only light that could be seen was emanating from Mettaton's hot pink heart. Mettaton kept walking down the hall until he came to a steel utility door that was cracked open slightly.

"That irresponsible little kitten! I'm going to have to dock Burgerpants's pay for this." Mettaton said to himself while he examined the main breaker room. It was while he was looking around that he had noticed a strange container in the back of the room. Mettaton walked to the container and examined the sides of it, seeing something etched into the sides. "Nos...four...A...two? What sort of strange container is this?" Mettaton asked before pushing the lid open on the container. When he opened the container, Mettaton was surprised to see the contents of the container having what had seemed to be another robot resting inside.

This robot was different than any robot Mettaton had ever seen before. It had a sort of triangular shape for it's head and the facial design was extremely peculiar. One eye had seemed to be in the shape of a obtuse triangle while the other eye was circular with a gold rim around it, similar to a monocle and he had some loose coverings at the end of his face which connected from his mouth to his chin. The most interesting feature of his face were what seemed to be metallic fangs that peeked out slightly from his mouth. The robot's body was mostly hidden by a long black cape, but Mettaton could make out parts of the robot's red body while her stared. What he had seen of his body had ended where the cape had come together on both sides to form a triangular-like body. His hands where metallic and designed like gloves, but the fingers had seemed to form like talons.

Mettaton examined the robot for only a few more moments before dismissing it as a robot that had no longer been in working order. He had more important things to worry about and continued to make his way to the control panel. What he hadn't seen was that soon after he walked away from the container, the robot's eyes lit up and soon it emerged awake. The robot stretched and looked around seeing the flamboyant robot making it's way to his meal. The robot had examined Mettaton for a moment and a metallic forked tongue licked the lips of it's owner. Mettaton was so busy humming his theme while trying to fix the control panel that he hadn't noticed the faint red glow behind him. Mettaton tensed up once he realized that there should only be the glow of his heart to illuminate the room and began to turn around slowly.

Once he had turned around, he noticed the figure of the robot directly behind him. The robot grabbed Mettaton and the dim glow of hot pink heart had diminished before Mettaton had let out a scream that echoed through the room which was soon joined by evil laughter.

'Mmm...Lovely. Your energy should sustain me for quite a while my friend.'
