Chapter 4: The Vicious Fish Woman
Sitting at the edge of a cliff, Frisk took a moment to stare at Asgore's castle, all the way out in the distance.
High above, the caverns above were twinkling like the stars themselves.
It had taken some dexterity to manipulate the bridge seeds without hands, and the Monster Kid's running commentary was just as grating as it was the first time around.
But despite all of that, the young human felt calm.
He had come up with a few ideas on how to handle Alphys, Mettaton and Asgore, but the most pressing obstacle at the moment was Captain Undyne… and her absurd tenacity.
Speaking of which…
"So… what'd you think of Undyne?" asked Monster Kid.
"She sucks ass."
"Huh? Why would you say something like that? Undyne's the COOLEST!"
"You're just saying that because she's not trying to kill you."
"Trying to… no way! Undyne would NEVER try to hurt an innocent person!"
"She's trying to hurt me. Does that count?"
Monster Kid look over at Frisk with incredulity. But then, they just laughed.
"… Psh. Yeah, right! You really had me going there!"
The young monster walked toward the next section of Waterfall, only to be interrupted by a huge scream of frustration, courtesy of Frisk.
After taking yet another deep breath, the human decided to take a different approach.
"I'm the human that Undyne's looking for. That's why she's chasing me."
It took a few moments for Frisk's statement to click, but once it had, the monster child recoiled.
Around ten minutes later, Captain Undyne was vigorously chasing down the dangerous human.
It had been a rather exhausting endeavor, but the fish monster had successfully thrown a single energy spear through the human's abdomen, crippling them.
As the Captain closed in for the kill, the annoying monster child from earlier chose that specific moment to jump out from a bush, putting themself between the human and the monster captain.
After blinking twice, Undyne glared.
"Kid, what the HELL do you think you're doing!?"
"Protecting my friend!"
"Friend!? You do realize that THING is the human who's posing a danger to everyone here, right!?"
Monster Kid glared back.
"They might be a human, but they're not dangerous!"
"That's bullshit, and you know it. The humans of the ancient past were racist, evil people, and this human is just as bad!"
"Then why haven't they tried to kill you, me, or anybody else?!"
"I… that's because the human's just trying to lure us into a false sense of security so they can kill us all later! Obviously!" Undyne spat.
Seeing the child's refusal to yield, Undyne firmly marched forward, and lifted the young monster by their neck.
"Kid, give it up. I could easily beat up the two of you with my little finger." she hissed.
"Argh… Hah… I used to look… up… to you… Undyne…" the child wheezed. "But… you're just… a… big… bully…"
Undyne vision immediately turned red.
She was highly tempted to lash out right there and then…
"UNDYNE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
…but she was interrupted by her old friend, Papyrus.
Undyne took a moment to see how bad the situation was.
She was holding a young monster child in a chokehold, and a human child was bleeding out a few feet away.
"Uh… Papyrus, I SWEAR this isn't what is looks like!" Undyne foolishly shouted.
As the skeleton jumped in to defend two innocent kids, Frisk slowly slid a small phone back into his pocket...
After the debacle was over, Frisk walked back to Napstablook's neighborhood.
There were some people he needed to talk to.
