Disclaimer: Undertale and Splatoon don't belong to me.


Callie and Marie entered the next room, the room had six stone tiles on ground and some writing on the walls. Toriel was standing behind a closed door patiently waiting for them.

"So then, welcome to your new home innocent ones. Allow me to educate you in the operations of the RUINS," said Toriel.

Toriel then walked to the first and third row of tiles, she then flips the switch that then opened the door.

"The RUINS are full of puzzles, ancient fusions between diversions and doorkeys. One must solve them room to room, please adjust yourselves to the sight of them children," continued Toriel as she passed through the doorway leaving Callie and Marie by themselves.

Callie then proceeded walked at the tiles that weren't pressed by Toriel, which did nothing much to Callie's disappointment. Marie on the other hand observed the writing inscribed on the wall and read.

"Only the fearless ones may proceed. Brave ones, foolish ones. Both not walk the middle road.

Marie thought for a moment and looked at puzzle that was solved by Toriel and guessed that these may be hints for the puzzles ahead.

With nothing else to do they then entered to next room. The room had two streams and small bridges, three levers, at the end was the exit but was blocked off by spike and a wooden sign in front of them and a plaque in behind it.

"To make progress here, you will need to trigger several switches. Do not worry, I have labelled the ones that you need to flip," Toriel explained as walked to the bridge.

Callie noticed at the wooden sign in front of them and looked at what it said.

"So you can read? Good for you!"

She giggled at what it said, while Marie walked ahead to see what was written on the plaque.

"Stay on the path"

Marie walked back to where Callie was waiting for her. She remarked on how the plaque compelled them to stay on the path despite them having to go to off path to read it.

They crossed the bridge to see that there was a lever to which Marie flipped. Toriel then proceeded to the next bridge, they then followed close behind.

They then noticed there wasn't one but two levers for them to flip, Callie then read what was written next to the left lever.

"Please press this too -Toriel."

Callie would have done that but was curious on what would happen if she flipped the right one.

"No no no! You want to press the other lever, I even labelled them for you," informed Toriel.

Callie then reluctantly flipped the left switch which deactivated the spikes that blocked off the exit.

"Splendid! I am both proud of you little ones, let us now move to the next room."

Toriel then countinued through the next room, leaving Callie and Marie by themselves again.

Callie then proceeded to try pry down the but to no avial.

"Uggghh! Nothing happened," Callie whined in defeat. "I really hoped something cool would happen."

"Let's just go Cal," said Marie as gone through the doorway.

"Marie wait for meeeeeeee!" Callie exclaimed as she catch up with Marie.


In the next room Toriel was patiently waiting for them.

"In the Underground, monsters may harm or attack you," explained Toriel. "You will need to be prepared for this situation."

Callie and Marie then rememberd their first encounter with Flowey which made them shudder in the thought of trusting another flower again.

"However worry not! The process is simple, when you encounter a monster, you will enter a Fight." Toriel continued. "While you are in a Fight, strike up a friendly conversation."

"Stall for time, I will come to resolve the conflict. Toriel then gestured to the dummy. "Now then practice talking to the dummy."

They then observed the dummy, it looks like it had seen to had better days. It had had many make-shift repairs and stitches, it had a bit of stuffing puffing out of the of its head.

Callie and Marie then approached near the dummy, they felt their body tingle and their SOULS get pulled out. Their SOULS are infront of them now initiating the encounter.

(*FIGHT Start*)

*You encounter the Dummy.

They were suprised by the by the text box infront of them but remained their composure.

Four boxes were infront of then above the text box. The panel were colored in orange, the words in them from left to right were FIGHT, ACT, ITEM and MERCY.

This really confused them at first but understood that these were options for them to do.

"Marie can I go first?" asked Callie.

Marie nodded prompting Callie to do so.

Callie pressed the ACT button to which revealed a new option in the text box. She pressed the only option which is only the dummy. THis reveals two new options which is check or talk. Callie then choosed check since she was curious to what it means.

*Dummy - ATK 0 DEF 0.

*A cotton heart and a button eye, you two are the apples in my eye.

Marie didn't know what it meant but just shrug it off. She expected something to happen but nothing did.

Callie then chose ACT again and chose the talk option instead, to which she asked how its day was.

"..." was the only thing she could get from the Dummy, she guessed it doesn't seem much for a conversation.

"Marie it your turn now!" said Callie.

Marie wasn't really much of a talker so she instead chose MERCY, there were two options which were flee and spare. She chose spare which did nothing but prompt a new text to on the text box.

*Dummy stands around absentmindedly.

Marie was curious on what would happen if continued sparing. She then continued to press spare on each turn repeatedly each till...

The dummy being bored of the pointless antics began to float and exited behind through the doorway behind Toriel.

*Dummy tires of your aimless shenanigans.

*You Won! You earned no XP or gold.

(*FIGHT End*)

Toriel raised a brow and stared in confusion at what happened.

"Umm Toriel are we enter the other doorway?" asked a still dumbfounded Callie as looked on where the Dummy once stood.

"Ah yes my child, let us cotinue now," said Toriel snapped out of confusion and passed through the doorway leaving them by themselves once again.

"Marie why did you that?" questioned Callie. "That was really weird of you to do,"

"Dunno,"shrugged Marie as she was really was just curious on what would happen. "I was just tempted, I guess?"

"Ok then, Toriel is waiting for us, let's Go!" exclaimed Callie entered through the doorway, to which Marie followed soon after.


The next room had was rather same but they noticed at the side was a narrow path leading somewhere they couldn't see yet.

"There is another puzzle in this room," Toriel said with a warm smile."I wonder if you two can solve it together?".

"Yes! Cause together we can do it," Callie cheered in enthusiam.

"Yeah, these puzzles seem really easy," Marie added.

They then followed behind Toriel, not noticing that something has just hopped near them prompting an encounter and made their SOULS appear from out of their bodies.

(Fight Begin)

Callie and Marie startled at first but quickly recovered, they then confront their opponent. It seem to look like a short white frog, it had three black markings and had .

*Froggit attacks you!

"Aww, look it a cute little froggy," cooed Callie

"It's a froggit Cal," corrected Marie as she pressed ACT and check the froggit.

*Froggit- ATK 4 DEF 1.

*Life is difficult for this enemy.

Before they could anything Toriel backtracked and saw the encounter with the froggit. She gave a very disapproving look to spook it away, to which the froggit was intimidated and promptly fled.

You Won! you gained no amount of XP or gold.

(Fight End)

With the monster gone, Toriel turned to them to see if they had had been harmed.

"Are by any chance been harmed or hurt by that froggit children?".

"No Toriel were okay," said Marie.

"Poor froggit," muttered Callie as she look on the fleeing monster.

Seeing that they aren't hurt or injured she coutinue again to the narrow way.

They then noticed a blueprint in the wall and read it.

"The western room is the eastern room's blueprint."

Continuing forward they then see Toriel waiting for them. The room was wider, but was surrounded with water to which to they didn't really want to fall in, since they would dissolve in contact.

But they didn't notice the most important detail, the path behind was covered with spikes, really pointy and sharp spikes.

Seeing the distressed expression on there faces, Toriel knew that they needed her guidance.

"This is the puzzle, but I see your are nervous about this. Here, hold my hand for a moment "

They obliged and held Toriel's paw and began to take a step on the spiked platform, at first it seemed that it would impale her bare foot but instead retracted on contact. A sigh of relief escaped from there breath as they continued forward till the end without any hassle.

"These puzzle seems a bit dangerous for now," said Toriel passed to next passageway.

Callie and Marie looked at the spikes and then followed soon after.


The next was a long hallway to which Toriel faced them as they entered.

"I am rather proud of you two so far, children," Toriel praised to which Callie grined and Marie smiled.

"How ever... I have difficult request for you to ask of you" began Toriel as took a deep breath. " I would like you two to walk to end of the room by yourselves,"

"Forgive me for this," muttered Toriel as turned around and dashed to the farther reaches of corridor.

"You heard her Marie, let's go!" exclaimed Callie as headed forward to the corridors.

"Callie wait! Why does always be this peppy?" grumbled Marie as pursued Callie.

They continue to stroll to through the long hallway till they manage to reach the end of the hallway.

"So tiring!... so long!" wheezed Callie as she panted near a pillar.

"Thats what you get for running all the way," gloated Marie as she just walked all the way and took short brakes.

"Where's Toriel when you need her?"

"I am right here children" said someone.

"Ekkk!" scream Callie as she was suprised at the sudden voice behind her.

Marie stepped back to see who was the one behind the pillar.

"Greetings children, do notbe afraid, it is I Toriel," the figure at pillar introduced themselves.

"I apologize for startling you my child, as I did not you were behind the pillar," explianed Toriel.

'It's okay Toriel, I was just supriced that's all," exclaimed Callie.

"Thank you for trusting me, however, there was an important reason for this exercise,"

"What is it?" asked Marie.

"To test you independence children," continued Toriel. "I must attend to some business, and you two must stay alone for a while.

"Wwwwwhhhhyy? can we come too?" begged Callie as she didn't wan't to stay in one place.

"No, please remain here. Its dangerous to explore by yourselves,"

"Oh wait! I have an idea, I will give you a CELL PHONE," said Toriel as she pulled out an old looked device out of her robe. "If you need anything, just call, be alright?"

"Yes Toriel," Callie and Marie both said as they were handed the cell phone which looked really blocky and large.

Toriel then proceeded to the doorway leaving them by themselves once again.

"So? What are gonna do?" asked Marie as she slumped over the walls.

"Dunno," answered Callie as she lied down paitiently waiting for Toriel to return.

"Well this is boring, let's just go cal," said Marie as she gone to doorway.

"Wait! what about what Toriel said?" Callie ask as she didn't want to disappoint Toriel.

"Well it's boring and I think it might be a long before she comes back,"

"Well if put that way... OK!" quiped Callie as she as much didn't want to disappoint Toriel she would be really bored doing nothing.

They then began their trek through the RUINS not noticing a yellow flower watching then through doorway omniously.
