We heard the stories and it's happy and dark moments. That monsters were a general evil across the kingdoms. However, two sides always share different tales of who is evil. You all heard that the monsters were sealed underground, but what of before?
Before the war that drove monsters underground, they were in isolated peace. The king knew, however that they would go to war with humans as tension grew between them. It wasn't one sided during tensions as one side says. Humans burned buildings and monsters would vandalize entire cities.
It was only when the first deaths occurred that the leaders of man and monsters, went to war.
Before the declaration, two monster childern suffered the death of their parents. While one will take vengeance against them, the other just wanted to continue the memory their parents left behind.
Their names were Undyne and Muffet. They watched as humans burned down their homes and heard their screams. That moment was ingrained in them, but only one wanted the justice of vengeance.
There was a chance of Muffet would continue the spider bakery. However king Asgore initiated a draft that everybody had to partake. Childern were trained in military combat effective against humans. Naturally it was only a matter of time when the two orphaned kids meet.
It started on the mt. Ebott training field, just before the grand finale battle. They were losing with no big surprise, humans had souls that outshined them. The only upside is that monsters have inborn magic compare to human artifacts.
Undyne was trying her hardest to increase the amount of spear she could summon. She found spears are a good combination of melee and range. The problem is constructing just one made out of magic was hard. While she is physicality the strongest one there, in magic she was a dunce. Her greatest asset is her never ending will to give up to anyone.
Muffet trained in order to calm her mind from the war. She had six swords in order to scare the humans. She was talented in magic, given that monster spiders need magic to spin a web. In combat she was frail, but counteracted it with a more defensive posture using the swords to parry. While she wasn't the most powerful, she uses her head to strategize a safe victory over reckless defeat.
If you thought they would get along, you're very wrong. During their countless sparing matches over the years, Muffet picked apart Undyne's weakness and defeated her time and again. That always infuriated Undyne and she would always challenged Muffet again, and many more times. In the time of endless sparring they grew in experience and respect until the time of battle commenced.
They still didn't get along and detested the concept of being in a team. Undyne states that Muffet isn't honorable in combat. Muffet retorts by quoting Undyne's one flaw, lack of magic control. The one who assigned them together was, the great general Gerson.
Gerson from the moment he saw the two spar, he found excellent warriors. Of course he assigned them with his own group, just in case.
The current battle of Mt. Ebott was a disaster. The plan was to hold off their forces until they ran out of supplies. They had more then anticipated and many soldiers were dusted. Only Gerson's group of three made it, with a new task to evacuate monsters.
The problem was the humans and the path of evacuation. The humans flanked them from behind earlier in the battle. It was risk life and death or give up to the reaper peacefully. Undyne being Undyne she vouch to protect the monsters, She was surprise Muffet joined too in her vouch.
So Gerson, Undyne, and Muffet marched with the civilian caravan. The path goes through wispwood forest, a great place for an ambush.
Undyne nerves were chilled by the autumn wind. Muffet then stopped the caravan that held supplies necessary for survival. "What are you doing, they could be here any moment!" Undyne saw Muffet pulled out her swords in preparation for a assault
"No, they are up ahead. If we go together we will be slaughtered..." Dispair was felt on all present monsters. "I'll act as a decoy, I can distract them long enough for all of you to escape." Undyne could not believe her eyes on what Muffet was saying.
"Are you seriously giving up you're life! We can find another path, one without-" She was interrupted by a glaring Muffet, the glare said everything to Undyne. Gerson put his scaly hand on Undyne, Undyne wanted to slap the hand away.
"It's her choice...one of my friends did the exact same thing." Gerson's words provided the time needed for Muffet to go ahead.
Undyne looked down in distaste for this chain of events. "I hated her...but not even she deserve death." Gerson sighed at Undyne's mourning. The cart was starting to move as civilians were too scared and desprite to stay still. "We can't leave her to die, Gerson!" Gerson smiled sadly at Undyne's heroic talk.
"You were just like my friend, always wanting to protect others. We can't save her Undyne, but you can." Undyne paused at his words in confusion. "If I had one regret in my life, little guppy." Gerson pummeled his great hammer down on the dirt. "It's that I didn't have the balls to back my friend up. Don't be like me, Undyne, go and save your friend for what it's worth!" Undyne nodded and charged after her comrade. "Are you proud of me old friend?" He mutters at the dirt as he lead the civilian caravan.
Undyne ran and ran passed the dying trees of wispwood. She tried to find Muffet or the source of a battle. She prayed for a miracle to find Muffet and not her corpse on the battlefield. She heard a scream and jolted to the source, Muffet was there. However she was in a near unconscious state around three humans.
"She was a tough one. Who knows, maybe she's a general." A human with a long beard started, laughing at the end. "We probably get a promotion for taking her arms!"
"Wait, if we take her six arms we can then say we fought three of them!" The secound one shouted with whisky sickened glee. "That way we'll get rewarded three times as much." Undyne's anger was boiling over the edge, but the thought of her friend's safety came first.
Before she had a chance to think the final human interrupted her. He is a huge man twice Undyne's own size and way more muscle. "I'll take them off, no need to dull our blades." Undyne saw Muffet's eyes of terror as the big man lifted her up with one arm. "It will be like squashing an ant." Muffet rolled her eyes and muttered 'arachnid' to mock him. "You dare!" Before Undyne could summon a spear, the burly man ripped the bottom set of Muffet's arms.
"No!" Undyne yelled as she wildly threw the spear at the burly man. The man let go of the Muffet in shock from a flesh grazing spear. Muffet went unconscious as the burly man stared at Undyne.
He looked at his friends. "Chop the arms off with your blades. Her bones are tougher then they look." The man cracked his knuckles in show of intimidation and force. "Can you really beat me shrimp? Your spider friend looked more deadly then you ever could." Undyne saw the two other humans drag a slightly unconscious Muffet to a tree. "Her blades couldn't handle one punch from me. What can you do, sea monkey." Undyne summoned her spear, which was fading due to her lack of concentration.
The burly man threw powerful fist after fist on Undyne's spear. The forming cracks on the spear signaled its durability. "I won't lose!" Undyne stabbed the man in the chest twice, but his health was barely scratched. The man grabbed Undyne's wrist and punched her to the ground. He was on top, punch after punch went by as Undyne's health degraded along with Muffet's.
Muffet's subconscious scream is what kept her awake enough to see the secound set of arms come off. Anger and vengeance was all that Undyne felt that she bit the next fist that connected. The man's screamed in pain then smiled in malice. "Fine then." He then gripped her face and starting plunging his thumb into her left eye.
Since monsters don't have enough determination to mass produce blood, only dust remained in her eye socket.
The pain, anger, sadness, and pure bloodlust was too much for Undyne and she snapped. The man gasped as a spear raised from the ground and into his backside. More and more spears impaled him until he was a fleshy pincushion. The two other men who nearly started on Muffet's last set of arms dropped the blades at the sight the man's soul leaving his body. "You..." she growled in pure, unrelenting anger as her dusty socket sprinkled from her face. "Will face my justice!" Two spears implied the men through the head. the last thought they had was, never mess with an angry fish.
Undyne picked up the vastly maimed and unconscious Muffet. Muffet's health was declining fast and they didn't have any monster food. Undyne refused to see Muffet die today and dashed to the evacuation site, ignoring the corrupted souls.
...5 minutes later...
Undyne made it to the evacuation point of mt. Ebott with a dying Muffet in hand. Gerson who was standing guard, looked calm and expected this to happen. Gerson then started shouting to whoever can hear. "Someone bring me Dr. Aster, there's a monster needing medical attention!" Before anyone can react a bony hand touched Gerson's shoulder. "Ah, there you are, bone doctor." Gerson said causally to the monster's sudden apperence.
The figure that touched Gerson's shoulder was tall, a bit slightly taller then Undyne. He is a skeleton with two lights in the sockets and a dark cloak. He gave a symbol that seemingly told Gerson to leave. "*\ %+^} ~}*{!| _¥¥ }*#.." He spoke in a weird language towards Undyne. The skeleton then shakes his head in an apologetic manner. "Apologies I forgot that most monsters don't understand my language. I asked if your friend all right?"
Undyne growled at the doctor. "No! Are you blind she had her arms forcefully removed!" The fishes one eyed glare make the scientist double check his patients.
"Oh, of course a spider monster! You must be one eyed Willy then, carrying her here." If Undyne didn't have Muffet in her hands she would killed him. "No worries, I just got to seal and sew her flesh. I also have to remove some bones to prevent some malformed growth infections." He pulled out a bone saw from his cloak, which made Undyne step back. "I'm not going to hurt her Undyne, unless you want her to die of infection or the loss of how much blood she even has left." Undying cringed at that she was to let Muffet be with a emotionless doctor.
Dr. Aster teleported Muffet into his own hands. "Don't fret, things like this happen in any war. Death and taxes are always unavoidable, Benjamin Franklin." Undyne was confused, she didn't recognize the quote. "Don't worry, we probably won't live long enough to worry anyway." He nonchalantly carried Muffet to a makeshift infirmary.
He's right, even though she killed three humans, it was nothing compared to an army.
(Hey guys! I thought to do an experiment of creating an AU. An AU that the original universe character have different fates and destiny. Yeah the prologue takes place hundreds of years before the actual frisk, so I made monsters live longer, (so boss monsters live an eternity.) I hope I won't be feeding 'that' part of the fandom. I just want to expand a creative game without influence of the fandom.)
