Go check out this awesome fanfic called Flowey Is Not a Good Life Coach by unrestedjade on AO3. It's super cool! They even linked some fanart I sent them! (It's the crappiest one :P)
"Hey, Seaweed brain!" Percy heard, vaguely. He was very tired. "Wake up!" someone shoved him.
He sat up clearing his eyes. Annabeth had been shaking him. "Where are we?" he asked.
"Monster camp," she replied simply.
Percy sat up so fast, he almost got whiplash. He reached for his pocket, only to find his hands were bound.
He looked her over carefully. "Are you okay?"
"Yep." She held up her hands. "My wrists are a little sore, but I'm fine."
"Can you cut mine off?" Percy asked.
Annabeth shook her head. "I don't think that will work. They're magic."
He looked at her wrists. "Then how did you get yours off?"
"Magic."
He stared at her.
"Yes, I know, I can't use magic," Annabeth rolled her eyes. "One of the monsters got them off for me."
"Did they hurt you?" he asked, worried.
"No," Annabeth shook her head. "In fact, they were actually pretty nice. Well, except for this other skeleton we met. He was a jerk."
Percy was about to ask when she had seen another skeleton, when a loud, profanity-riddled, squeaky voice came from the crack under the door.
"You are such an asshole!" it screamed. "I thought you like being friends with Frisk so much, yet you constantly do this to me!"
"keep your petals on," a deeper, relaxed voice replied. "you're right, i do love stem. however i do not like you at all. i might not remember everything, but i know enough that just looking at you pisses me off."
Piper looked up. She threw open the door and ran out, Percy and Annabeth following close behind.
After running down the hall towards the voice they found it was coming from a laundry room. And inside was a skeleton, holding a flowerpot with a yellow flower.
Percy did a double take. The flower had eyes and a mouth, and was currently waving its leaves around in frustration.
The skeleton turned, looking mildly disappointed. "aw, you caught me."
"Oh, this is great!" the flower ranted. "It's those stupid hybrids. Hey, get me away from trashbag here!"
"What are you doing?" Percy asked the skeleton.
He shrugged. "trying to throw this guy in the dryer. it's probably like an amusement park ride to him. a really hot, painful, hour-long amusement ride." His grin seemed to grow wider, in a sadistic sort of way. He paused for a second. "oh, yeah, by the way, i'm the jerk your girlfriend told you about. if you want a skeleton who isn't a jerk, go talk to my brother." Man, this guy had good hearing!
"Wait..." Annabeth thought a second. "The tall skeleton?"
He nodded. "the tall skeleton."
"As interesting as this breakthrough is, I'm still in danger of being put in a washing machine!" the flower screamed. "Get me away from him!"
The skeleton placed it in Piper's hands without them even doing anything. "for you, my love," he joked. "it's not fun when you get caught, anyway." He pushed past them out into the hall.
"Yeah, just run, you coward," the flower called. "You used to run like a little wimp a long time ago. I miss those days."
Piper shuddered and quickly put the flowerpot down, wiping her hands as though hoping to get the feel of profanic flower off.
"Trashbag," he muttered. He noticed them staring at him. "Well, what do you want?!"
"Who are you," Annabeth asked, "and how can you talk?"
"Easy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the flower!" he chirped with fake cheeriness. "And I don't feel like answering that stupid question, because of one thing I learned a long time ago: it's fun to keep secrets." He giggled.
"Are you a monster?" Piper asked.
"Ha, I wish," Flowey replied sassily. "Nope, just a flower. I'd even take being a hybrid like you over being a flower."
"Ahem," someone cleared their throat behind them. Nico stood just outside the hall.
"Oh, howdy!" Flowey exclaimed. "You're the one who almost killed fishy, right? Boy, you're lucky Papyrus got to her before she got to you! She's really tough! Of course, you're the reason she's about to fall! Sure hope Frisk gets here in time! Papyrus gets really boring when he's sad."
"How did you get in here?" a new voice asked. Something that looked like either a little dinosaur or a giant lizard wearing a denim dress hurried in.
"Let's just say a certain smiley someone doesn't like me very much," the flower replied. "Oh, by the way Alphys, that's the human who hurt Undyne. Thought you might be interested."
The lizard's eyes widened and she looked at Nico, her claws twitching slightly. She then took a deep breath. She grabbed Flowey and left without another word.
Nico watched her leave down the hall, Flowey taunting her all the way. "What the heck is that thing? I've been turned into plants before and I don't appreciate smiling flowers teasing me."
"Wow, you were right about that skeleton being a jerk," Percy marveled. "I mean, the flower's a jerk too, but sticking him in a laundry machine just because he doesn't like him sounds kinda harsh."
"Skeleton?" Nico asked.
"Yeah, this one was short, but he was really mean," Percy answered.
"Well, to be fair, he was nice to the other monsters," Annabeth reasoned. "I guess he doesn't like humans."
"Ahuhuhu," came a voice Percy recognized from behind them. "He likes humans, but he does hate people who hurt his brother."
Percy jumped out of his socks. It was the giant spider Annabeth had fought. "Here you go, dearie." She tapped the cords around his wrists and they dissolved. She regarded Nico for a second, then did the same. "I already met the rest of your friends. It's a good thing they didn't have any weapons. Otherwise, I'd be a pile of dust." She jumped onto the ceiling, and hung upside down. "I just saw Frisk come back, they should be in soon. I'll tell them to talk to you."
She meandered along the ceiling and leaped to the first floor when she reached the stairs.
"Frisk…" Nico repeated quietly. "That's the kid. We have to get them to Olympus first chance we get, before the monsters get any ideas."
Annabeth and Piper exchanged a glance. "Nico… I think the gods might have… What if not all the monsters are bad?"
Nico waved her off. "I'm sure not the entire population is all bad, but if you had a chance to get rid of all the monsters that we normally fight against, wouldn't you?"
Percy wanted to argue with him. What about Mrs. O'Leary and Tyson? But before he could, someone stomped up the stairs.
It was a short human kid, maybe nine or ten, wearing a t-shirt and jeans. They regarded the demigods for a minute, then turned and ran back down the stairs.
"That's the kid they all love so much?" Percy asked. He glanced over at Nico and did a double take. He had gone pale and started shivering.
"Th-that was definitely a demon…" he shuddered. "Not even an eidolon. Somehow, it's fused its soul. And it's more powerful than any demon I've ever felt. That little kid… they can't possibly have control." He turned back to them. "We have to get this done as soon as we can."
Logic: You can't cut the purple threads with a weapon because Frisk would have just done that when Muffet captured them. (Not that a frying pan is the best thing to cut a web with, but if you can kill an airplane with a frying pan, why not cut a web?)
This is true pacifist, not soulless, but Chara's role in genocide will be very important in this, so make sure you know the story of Genocide!
