The Reckoning Has Come, The Defenses Have Fallen
Disarray was grinning merrily as he made his way into the Hotlands, giving a sigh of relief as he felt himself being heated up. Now this was someplace he'd love to settle down in if he was ever inclined to settle down at all. Which, unsurprisingly, was a no. But he did have a bit of fun walking through Hotland, barely noticing the monsters he was killing more than torturing at this point. It was only how many he had killed that he gave any attention to.
"Man, there is a fuck-ton of you guys just waiting to be slaughtered." Disarray commented airily before smirking. "Looks like that just means more LOVE to spread around."
At this point, he wasn't even bothering to keep track of what his actual LV was anymore. To him, it was just meaningless numbers when he could very clearly feel how much his power grew and grew. Though he had to take a break from his thoughts as he was eventually caught up in a spider's web. He hadn't planned on it, but he figured he might as well play along, if only to indulge his newfound interest in acting.
"Oh no. I am caught in a spider's web. How unfortunate for me." Disarray deadpanned.
A quiet giggle could be heard in the dark before a figure of a lady walked in. This one though was decidedly more monstrous than the last lady look-alike. Something about being half-spider usually would do the trick. As it was, it was an interesting sight to behold, with this woman having 6 arms and 5 eyes, not to mention fangs.
"Well now dearie~ It's been quite some time since a human visited my parlor~" The spider lady cooed.
"What, no name to go with such a beautiful face like yours?" Disarray purred, turning on the charm immediately.
"You just simply had to ask, dearie~ My name is Muffet~" Muffet giggled before pressing onwards. "However, I've been hearing many interesting things about you~"
"Oh? And what could that be?" Disarray answered, sounding very amused.
"Have you heard what she was saying? That a crazed human would be walking through here. I also heard that they hate spiders. That they love to stomp on them and tear off their legs." Muffet's voice could be labeled as 'venomously sweet', which made Disarray sweat a tiny bit as he heard Muffet continue with her monologue. "I heard… they have awful taste. What a shame. Another human comes through and they aren't even fit to be eaten~ Oh well! Rotten ingredients can always be discarded~"
It was at this point, Disarray was done playing around. He promptly set the web on fire, making Muffet screech in horror as she tried to dart away. However, Disarray quickly pinned her down by turning her own SOUL blue momentarily, now letting him be the one in charge.
"I'm afraid, Muffet, you were misinformed on many different levels. One, I'm not entirely human. Two, I hate everyone equally. And lastly, I don't give a rat's ass about how well I taste. Although…" Disarray grinned demonically as he came up with an idea. "I think you'll find I'm quite a sweetheart."
And with that phrase, he ripped out his own heart, giving a small roar of pain as it was replaced by a kidney before throwing it at Muffet, who was understandably freaking the fuck out at this point. When it landed on Muffet though, it started burning through her skin, as the smell of caramel was in the air.
Disarray then calmly walked up to a near-catatonic Muffet, instantly taking every memory he possibly could from her before leaving the entire room covered in a sickly-sweet caramel that bubbled and fizzed away, eating at the remnants of the spiders and their webs. Disarray chuckled, loving how well everything worked out for him. Truly, he could've been a tremendous actor, if he didn't have the urge to collect, torture, and destroy everything and everyone in his path.
Eventually, he ran out of free-range monsters to kill, making his way through the CORE without a hitch. Although, he wouldn't admit this, even under pain of death, but he had gotten fairly lost within the large structure and backtracked more times than he could count. Soon though, he was faced off against yet another interesting monster. This one though, was a robot, which sparked at his curiosity.
"MY, MY. SO YOU'VE FINALLY ARRIVED. AFTER OUR FIRST MEETING… I REALIZED… SOMETHING GHASTLY. YOU'RE NOT JUST A THREAT TO MONSTERS… BUT ALL HUMANITY, AS WELL. OH MY. THAT'S AN ISSUE. YOU SEE, I CAN'T BE A STAR WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE. AND BESIDES… THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE… I WANT TO PROTECT." Metatton droned on before noticing Disarray taking an eager step forward. "AH HA HA. EAGER, AS ALWAYS, EH? BUT DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL. THERE'S SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T ACCOUNTED FOR. AS ANY TRUE FAN WOULD KNOW, I WAS FIRST CREATED AS A HUMAN ERADICATION ROBOT. IT WAS ONLY AFTER BECOMING A STAR WAS I GIVEN A MORE… PHOTOGENIC BODY. HOWEVER. THOSE ORIGINAL FUNCTION HAVE NEVER BEEN FULLY REMOVED… COME ANY CLOSER, AND I'LL BE FORCED TO SHOW YOU… MY TRUE FORM!"
"Oh no, a tin can trying to threaten my life. How will I ever survive?" Disarray taunted, taking another step closer.
"FINE THEN!" Metatton snarled at Disarray. "RRRRREADY? IIIIIIIT'S SHOWTIME!"
Disarray watched in sheer boredom as he saw Metatton's bright and very flashy transformation. At this point, he figured he'd have a little more fun taunting the robot.
"You know… I believe I heard your name back in the RUINS… and a little bit more in Waterfall." Disarray smirked. "It was a ghost of a rumor though."
Metatton looked incredulous before the realization kicked in. "YOU… WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BELOVED BLOOKY?"
"Hm… trying to think… what exactly did I… ah, yes! I believe I made him drown in his own tears and feel like everything bad in the world was his fault before finding a way to kill him, even as a ghost!" Disarray grinned wickedly. "I believe his last words were-"
He was abruptly cut off, quickly dodging a plasma bolt from an enraged Metatton. Seems like the two really did have a close connection. And as Disarray shot a bolt of lightning clear through Metatton, now it seemed they shared one last thing in common: able to truly die. Metatton couldn't even form a response before they crumpled to the ground, afterlife nearly drained. They couldn't even resist if they wanted to when Disarray came up and drained the ghost in a metal shell of every last memory they had before throwing the now empty metal suit off to the side.
"Almost done with the Underground… now only few stand in my way. The comedian… the human… the weed… and the king of monsters. Not to mention the few survivors I let slip through to a false sanctuary." He laughed coldly, turning around and making it back to the Lab once again, looting every conceivable thing he could along the way, and killing the one or two monsters that thought they were invincible behind that damned shopkeeper function.
Soon enough, he arrived inside Alphys' Lab once again, grinning at the barren look about it, having taken everything while passing through. "Now then… if I was a scientist, where would I hide any survivors from an insane serial killer? I would suspect a hidden room… unless…"
He slowly turned to the one door he seemingly missed during his looting spree. From the looks of it, it was an ordinary bathroom, like one would find on the Surface, albeit modified to the monster Underground. However, Disarray soon realized that this was the first bathroom, outside of Toriel's home, that he had come across. His grin widened as he chuckled darkly.
"So obvious… yet ingenious. I have to say, if it was a regular human, I might've skipped past it. Unfortunately for them… I'm nothing like a regular human." Disarray shook his head before magicking the door out of reality and jumping down below.
What he found once he slipped through the elevator roof and into the lobby, were the last remnants of the monsters, who of course tried to flee from him as soon as they could, seemingly going towards one spot. That was quite alright with Disarray, as he pretty much herded every monster he could, killing the weirdly deformed and melted monsters along the way before he got everyone trapped inside the one room.
In said room, Alphys tried to keep everyone calm and at peace, but such words were useless in the face of everything. After all, a human had managed to find out where they were and didn't look like he was wanting to SPARE anyone at all! Not even children were safe it seemed.
"E-Everyone… p-p-please try and remain… please try and re-remain calm…" Alphys tried to placate.
It was at that moment the door to the room burst open, and there stood the other human. The demon that had seemingly followed the previous human down here, and managed to kill everyone, even those who were thought to be invincible.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Disarray's voice oozed through, making everyone shiver uncomfortably. "A motley crew of monsters, desperately trying to cling to survival in the form of one Doctor Alphys. Yet here I am, easily blowing through anything the Doc sent my way."
"You d-don't scare us, human!" A girl seemingly made of green fire taunted, which was met with agreements and glares at Disarray.
"Oh? Is that so?" Disarray had to chuckle before it devolved into full-blown laughter, scaring everyone as he then quickly changed to a more serious look. "Don't try your hand at comedy. Because that was a weak-ass, pathetic joke. Funnily, Alphys could relate very much to that."
"What d-do you mean by th-that?" Alphys was glaring holes at Disarray from that comment, while a few monsters looked offended.
"Oh? So, you didn't tell them what I just slew back there? What looked like melted remains of other monsters? You also told them what this lab was truly meant for as well?" Disarray started to smirk in mild amusement. "You know… explaining to them that what seemed like family members and close friends were all sacrificed? For the Greater Good?"
Monsters seemed to flinch at just how much venom was behind that last sentence before the rest of his speech was heard. Now Alphys was getting confused, and horrified, looks, making Disarray snicker as the air began to feel hotter and heavier.
"That's right, you sniveling piece of shit. Too scared to tell them what happened, and drowned it all out in… what? Ramen and old human anime? You really are that pathetic."
"P-Please, listen to me!" Alphys cried out in horror as she saw more murderous expressions on her fellow monsters.
"Oh, they'll be listening alright. Listening to the screams of pain you'll soon be giving them. Isn't that right, everyone?" Disarray's eyes glowed an ethereal red as everyone else except Alphys took on the same look.
Soon, they all charged and started to viciously attack Alphys, causing her to scream in pain and horror, a look of betrayal on her face. Disarray had tossed around what he wanted to do to Alphys, even considering killing every other monster until she was left. Then he would make her go insane and then kill herself. But it seems this worked out even more perfectly than in his twisted mind.
Soon though, he quickly killed off the other monsters in the room, leaving only a broken and burning Alphys laying on the ground. She was near death herself, and much like Metatton, provided no resistance when Disarray absorbed her own memories, his grin getting wider and wider with the influx of knowledge he was given. So many scientific theories to test… and how a flower could possibly move about like Flowey did.
"Artificial Determination, hm?" Disarray mused as he clenched his now empty fist, Alphys turning to dust. "I think I took the stock of it all, but… I might have a bit of fun with it later. For now, though… I have one last errand to run. Soon… oh so very soon… the Underground will become completely empty. And no one will be able to stop me. NO ONE."
And with that, Disarray made his way back through Hotlands and the CORE, eager to finish off the last bits and pieces of the Underground. The CORE he left untouched for now, as he had extra plans for it later. But as he made his way forward… he looked very eager for the last few actual fights down here. His LV was unmatched by anything in the Underground, and he had even figured out how to warp reality to his every whim. In time… the Surface would meet the same fate.
