"Ugh…what the hell happened?" A tall orange haired girl groaned lifting herself up from a flower she hissed clutching a hand to her forehead she pulled away and examined it to make sure she wasn't bleeding thankfully she wasn't "Where am I? how the…" the girl's mind suddenly snapped back to reality began replaying how she got here.
Her name is Artina she's 19yrs old, and she was sent on a courier job but… she wasn't alone someone stowed away in the backseat of her havac, it was a kid a boy named…Chara! Artina's mint eyes widened when she recalled chasing after the kid after scolding for sneaking on one her jobs again!
He started throwing a tantrum when she tried take him back to Bunker-city and took off towards Mt. Ebott!…only question was where was he now?! Artina's eyes scanned the cavern frantically before landing on a tiny body she pulled herself up to her feet and limped over the child before crouching down and shaking him.
"Chara! H-hey Chara! Come on Charlie wake up!?"
"D-don't call m-me Charlie…"
{exhale} "Are you alright?"
"I-I t-think so…"
"Can you stand?"
Artina helped the kid to his feet Chara groggily shook his head before looking around the cavern "Where are we?" he asked examining some of the flowers and broken columns "Take a guess." his tall companion jeered looking up at the large hole they fell through. Tween boy swallowed as guilt gnawed at the back of his mind and he realized just how lucky they were to be alive.
"I'm sorry for getting us into this! But, you get us out of-"
"I can't."
"Wh-what? Do you mean? You can just jump I'm not that heavy!"
"Got nothing to do with weigh kid, 1 I can't make that jump! 2 the walls are too weak or uneven me to lift off…and 3 I think my knee is sprained."
Chara looked Artina and noticed she was favoring her right leg more then her left the boy bit inside of his cheek in an attempt not to have a breakdown before Artina seem to notice this an calmly brought ruffled his hair "Don't blame yourself kid, these things happen." she said in a lazy tone.
"Y'know I think I saw a door down there." the orange head nodded behind her with a grin she nudged Chara forward and leaned on him a bit to help her walk…which was little difficult seeing as she 5'11 -6'0 tall and he was 4'8, eventually they found themselves in another room assuming it was empty they continued until something jumped out of the shadows, It looked like a cat wearing a wig and a blue/yellow stripe shirt.
"Hi there I'm Bob! Bob the Temmie!"
(I'm picturing him sounding like Yes man from Fallout: NV.)
"Uh…"
"And welcome to the underground!"
"What did you just say?!"
Artina felt a pit form in her stomach as her mind replayed stories that her mother; Zaalia told her as a child, the old world's war with the monsters the barrier and magic it was coming back to her now as "Bob" smiled at the two humans.
"Gee, you must really be confused! Allow me teach you how things down here!~"
Before, Artina could do anything everything went dark Chara tightened his hold around her waist as she felt a slight pinching tug at her chest as an alice blue heart along with a red heart from their bodies and floated in front of them.
"See those? Their your souls, they start out pretty weak at first, but make them stronger!"
"Um how?" [Artina glares at Chara.]
"By earning LV! What's Lv-"
"Level Of ViolencE"
Bob and Chara both gawked at Artina who glared down a the Temmie seemed bewildered that she knew that, "Well then that's unexpected how did you know that?" the monster smile tightened there was an obvious sneer behind it, the tall human let out a dry laugh "My mother talks about this place a lot." was all Artina said as Bob's face shifted into a hideous sneer as it voiced distorted "Well did mommy ever tell you that in this world…"
he paused as ten pairs of glowing red eyes stared out from shadows.
"IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED?!"
Artina eyes widened as a pack of Temmies jumped out of hiding she barely had time to dodge as one of them jumped at her and Chara, their souls mimicked their movements as Bob swiped at them managing to knick Artina's cheek and chipping her glasses "Uh-Oh…" was all Chara said as his soul jumped back into his body and curled into a ball;
Bob and his pack all looked him confused as static slowly charged the air turned to the taller human who was staring down at her glasses "You chipped my glasses…" the other Temmies started backing up a little "My little brother got me these…" a braver Tem lunged at her only to get caught by the scoff of it's neck; Artina's soul flickered yellow as looked with a feral smile.
"You fried rats!" She growled throwing the terrified Temmie at rest of it's pack before unleashing a large wave of electricity at them; she didn't dust any of them, lucky them she just scared them off, all except Bob who hiding waiting for her to let her guard down, When she was all those vermin were gone Artina fell on her butt out of breath only to freeze when Chara started franticly pointing behind her. Before the tall could process that Bob was jumping at her a fireball blasted him away.
"My what a horrible creature attacking, two defenseless youths."
Both humans looked up and saw a large goat man enter the room he seem friendly; there was an odd fatherly aura around him that was very welcoming unlike Bob, "Oh, children my name is Asgore, caretaker of the ruins." he introduced with a slight bow "I'm Chara this is my mentor Artina." Artina cut the kid off "I ain't your mentor, kid"
she turns to the goat dad. "he just follows me everywhere, even when his grandpa says no." she gave Chara a pointed look as the boy shifted uncomfortably causing Asgore chuckle before offering his hands to the two of them, but then opted to carry Artina as her knee was bothering her as he explained his roll in all this.
"I go to that room see if any humans have fallen down, as you can imaging we don't get many visitors', especially after those tremors two years ago."
Artina's mind :(Two year…oh, right one monster year is 10 human years, 2 years for them 20 for us…")
"You mean the meteor?"
"Meteor?"
"Yeah, a big rock fell out of the sky and smashed into the earth, a lot people died."
Chara explained Asgore hummed warily they continued walking through the ruins and somehow got on the subject of Temmies "Nasty creatures, that are usually wait for some poor soul wander into the dark and attack them." he stroked his beard as looked confused "It's odd to just see the one though, usually there's pack of them?" the goat stated as Chara and Artina shared a look.
"Yeah, s'weird r-right? Chara?"
"Yep! best not to question it."
Asgore gave them both an odd look then shrugged it off, he taught them how the underground worked, soon two weeks had passed Artina's leg was better and Chara was getting restless they both were…and their families were probably turning the wasteland upside-down looking for them it was time to go, so the big question was.
"Whose gonna tell Asgore?"
