I felt something building up in me, but I shoved it away. I had wanted to experiment, I needed the XP, and there was nothing I could change about it. I huffed before continuing. No turning back now.
Flowey showed up again. To my delight, he said different things. Something about Chara and such… Bit it looked like I really was taking a different path! The experiment was working. After finishing the nice little chat with Flowey, and him admitting it was "A wonderful idea", I continued.
I was out the ruins. I walked ahead and waited for the skeleton to show up. When he did, I still felt those butterflies in my stomach. We shared a handshake… but Sans' words were different. I chose to ignore that. We went on ahead, and… I didn't move behing the lamp for some reason. I met Papyrus early, and then I continued to destroy all the monsters in my path. I was so strong now, it was almost funny. Why hadn't I thought of doing this before? It was great.
Throughout the rest of the encounters, the skeleton brothers all said different things. It was like I was playing a completely different game, all the dialogue was so different! This game was really well thought-out, huh?
Even the snowman encounter was different. I found out that I could take multiple snowman pieces from the snowman. Wonder why? I didn't feel bad about it either, since I knew I would need as many good food items as possible for my newly enlarged HP.
But then… things got annoying. Those puzzles that I usually enjoyed doing… weren't hard anymore. It was either because the character moved forward too much on their own, or because they were already done, or just because the path I chose to take was different. That was disturbing, I admit. But that couldn't stop me for experimenting further.
Finally at Snowdin. I immediately went to face-off with Papyrus, not even taking a quick look around town or a nap at the inn. I wanted to see how this different path would affect the dialogue I would have with him. It was much different than I expected.
In fact, he spared me immediately.
And what did I do?
… Well, I...
Let's just say that his head came off.
I didn't know what had come over me. I didn't know what I was doing. Experimenting? Sure. But Papyrus really hadn't done anything wrong… he was the truly innocent one here. He had… offered a hug of acceptance. And I murdered him.
Before I knew it, I had already saved. No going back now. I realized that Sans was also missing from his stand. The loss of seeing him made me feel sad, but I brushed it away for now. I sighed before continuing. I hoped I was going about this the right way.
I continued on, and found many more things to be different. In fact, it was almost fascinating. When I first saw Undyne, Papyrus wasn't there to meet her. At the waterfall, there was once again the absence of Sans. There was also no Nicecream Guy or Onion-san. I hoped they weren't scared or mad at me or anything.
Oh yeah. I hadn't thought about it before. Sans would kill me for murdering Papyrus. How nice of me to realize that only now. Ugh… Now that I think of it, I hadn't even checked out the Snowdin town yet. I'm an idiot.
I met Undyne once again and fell. Once again, with that Chara thing. Who was she? I probably shouldn't think too much on it. Further down the garbage place, I saw the dummy. I started to think, Here we go again.
But even this changed. The Mad Dummy became the Glad Dummy. I could spare it. Immediately. But… this was an XP grind, so there was no stopping me. I was sad to do it, but I knew I had to for the sake of my experimenting.
I killed the Glad Dummy. Then I went on.
I went to Nabstablook's house. It was empty. I searched the rest of the place. It was deserted. I went on ahead to find that the Temmie village was abandoned. I started to panick. Where was everyone? Were they scared of something? What? And then I realized… they were scared of me. This realization was rather… shocking. Should I continue? I gulped and did. Remember, no going back now. I found that Temmie was still at the Temmie shop, so I sold my necessary items before leaving.
I went on ahead and approached Undyne again before finding Monster Kid at where he usually fell down the ledge and needed my help to get him back up. This time was different.
It looks like easy XP. I hit and…
She was hit instead. All her health lost, in one hit. I killed Undyne in one hit.
These things were getting more and more bizarre every second.
Moster Kid left, and for a moment I thought Undyne was going to die. But she didn't. I felt relieved, yet at the same time… I knew she wasn't going to be easy XP. At first, I thought all the attacks would be that same. But nope, they were harder. Much harder. Even then, I still beat her with my first try, with the help of some food items of course.
Oh yeah. She was definitely harder to turn into dust.
I continued to the stand at the hotlands where Sans usually slept, but… he wasn't there. I was starting to really miss his constant company. I continued to the lab and found not Alphys, but a hole. Mettaton was already here? He had a nice chat with me before he left.
Sure, this path was sad and heartbreaking. But it was different. And different was what I needed right now. I moved on through the Hotlands. Alphys wasn't there to help me this time, but there was something else different. All the puzzles were solved already, just like Papyrus' puzzles. Who was solving them?
I headed on, destroyed some guards, and made it to Mettaton's cooking show. Except… there was no Mettaton. And when I headed on to Muffet's bakesale, she wasn't there. But ahead… she was. I killed her, and a little spider scurried in. He placed a flower where Muffet had died before quickly leaving. I felt something snap inside of me… but I ignored it. I had won, gained tons of XP, and that was all that mattered.
I continued to find the complete absence of Mettaton. Looks like less puzzles for me. But… I also never saw Sans.
In fact, I hadn't seen him anywhere after Papyrus' death. He wasn't there to offer me the use of the telescope. He wasn't there to go on a date with me. He wasn't there to sell me Hot Cats or Hot Dogs. I had never felt so sad before, but I had to continue. Maybe, just maybe, I would find him in the judgement hall.
I continued to find that Bratty and Catty were no longer in the alleyway. But it didn't matter, since I didn't like them that much anyway. I stole some stuff before heading to Burgerpants. I actually bought some stuff before leaving the Mettaton Resort. I hoped I would see Mettaton again. I wondered how much XP he could give me, if he even gave XP.
Luckily, I found him in the middle of the core. But instead of turning to Mettaton EX, he became Mettaton NEO! I was thinking, well finally! Here comes a challenge!
I killed him in one hit.
Lately, things are never a challenge.
I went on towards Asgore's castle. I wondered how this path would affect him? I checked myself and realized that I was now LV 19, with 92 HP! Ha, this was great! I would be undefeatable now.
As I continued, I got a bunch of messages from Flowey! At first, he kept talking to me as if we were great friends or something, but then he started acting… scared. Uncertain. Why was everyone so scared of me? I didn't like this feeling at all.
Finally at the judgement hall. Hopefully, Sans would be here.
I made the character move down the hall, and just when I thought Sans would be absent, I finally found him. Just the sight of him made me so happy. But the things he said… they made me feel empty. Unhappy. Guilty.
He asked me if even the worst person could change.
He told me I would have a bad time.
He told me that…
He told me…
… that I should be burning in hell.
…
…?
Did he really just?...
Did Sans hate me? For killing Papyrus? But I… I…
What had I done? I'd killed everyone, that's what. And now Sans hated me. But why should I care?
Well that's because… because…
Wait… is his eye glowing blue? That's… weird. Is this supposed to happen? But it's not pixilated… it's actually smooth. Like flowy, with a blue aura coming off his left eye.
I shut my eyes closed tightly. I didn't want to continue like this. Not with Sans trying to kill me and such. I liked Sans, and out of all the people, I wasn't going to kill him. No, I wasn't. In fact, I would just spare him. That's it, I'll spare him.
I opened my eyes. I faced forward to press the spare button but then… I realized something was wrong.
I was sitting, but not on a chair. I was on a tiled floor of orange and yellow. There was no computer in front of me. Instead, there were amber columns next to me, and rays of sunlight shone through the many windows in the hall.
Wait, what?
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait a second here.
I nervously looked up and saw a Gaster Blaster right in front of my face.
I wonder if I'm staging this right... It seems a little weird. But eh. Hope you like!
and... *add Temmie voice here* THANK YOU FOR ALL DA SUPPORT! :3
