Began chapter 9.
Derek, Frisk, and Monster Kid all walked a long walkway, the castle being seen, and, as usual, MK being hyped for it. The group reached a high wall, that Frisk and MK would have trouble getting up.
MK: Yo, you wanna see undyne right? Than get on my shoulders and get up here.
Derek: Actually, I could get Frisk up, but you're gonna have to find you're own way up Kid.
MK: That's ok! I always find a way around.
MK ran off in the other direction, being the klutz he is feel on his face, but got up and ran off.
Derek: Alright, I'll jump up, than get you up, alright?
Frisk: Ok.
Derek stepped back a few steps, than ran forward, once he was close to reaching the wall, he jumped up and caught the edge, climbing up. He immediately turned around, laid his body on the ground, then extended his arm over the edge. Frisk thought about what was happening for a minute, then realised what it was, she than jumped up, grabbing his arm, and pulled Frisk up with ease.
Frisk: Thank you.
Derek: No problem.
Derek put his hands into his vest.
Derek: Come on, let's move on.
They continued on, and soon the lights made shadows on them.
Derek: Frisk, keep on guard…
The two walked slowly on the bridge, which Derek had finally realised they had been now walking on. Derek looked below the bridge, and saw a small, faint, white light. Than, a bright blue puddle appeared below him, than more and more, he stepped off the puddle, than multiple showed up, and spears shot up from them.
Derek: Time to cheese it!
The two ran for it, spears striking rapidly up at them, getting faster and faster, tell they reached a dead end.
Derek: Dam, alright, we'll try to go back…
The both began jogging back, as the spears had stopped, but Frisk stopped, and Derek stopped with them.
Derek: What is it?
Frisk pointed forward, Derek looked up and saw Undyne walking to them. Derek got in front of Frisk, protecting them from Undyne.
Derek: Take one more step….
Undyne stood they're, looking at them. Time passed, then suddenly, spears struck the middle of the bridge.
Derek: No…
THe bridge split in half, sending Derek and Frisk falling into whatever was below.
…
*Frisks perspective*
?: It sounds like it came from over here… Oh, you've fallen down, haven't you...are you okay? Here...get up. ….. Chara, huh? That's a nice name. My name is…
Frisk's vision would become white, then they'd jerk up from there slumber. They looked over to Derek, who looked stressed, sitting up.
Derek: You up?
Frisk: Mhm.
Derek: good.
Derek got up, looking a bit...off...than before.
Derek: Let's go.
He put his hands into his vest, Frisk also noticed they had landed on another bed of flowers.
Frisk: Derek?
*Derek's perspective*
Derek: Yeah?
Frisk: What happened while I was asleep?
Derek sighed, putting his hands out of his vest.
Derek: A really bad nightmare.
Frisk: Of what?
Derek: Of some bad memories...
Derek put his hands into his pocket, sighing.
Derek: Come on, let's go.
Derek stepped off the platform they we're on, which they had stepped in shallow water, on covering the soles of his boots. Frisk stepped off as well, there sneakers soles getting wet as well. They continued their journey.
They passed heaps of garbage, and at some point Derek walked towards one, and pulled out a case.
Frisk: What is it?
Derek would wipe the case off of any dirt and garbage, and open it, revealing it good looking disc of Trigun, DBZ, Fairy Tail, One Piece, Bleach, and One Punch Man.
Derek: It's some anime shows I used to watch whenever I got on that anime site i used, forgot it's name, though. Trigun is one of my all-time favorites, but One Punch Man was a newcomer to anime, and so far, it's impressed me.
Derek closed the case, and pocketed it in his back pocket, having it peek out a small bit.
Derek: COme on, let's go.
At some point they met another dummy.
Derek: Huh… You know what, I'm gonna fight it.
Derek got his fists ready, ready to bring the beat down on this dummy, till Frisk tugged on Derek's vest.
Derek: What?
Frisk looked a little upset at this, than Derek sighed.
Derek: It's only a dummy.
Frisk looked at him with a 'are you kidding me?' face. Derek sighed again.
Derek: Fine, I won't fight the dummy, but only for you.
They walked on, but then they heard a noise behind them. They looked behind them, all of a sudden, the dummy had eyes of anger, and went into the water, the arose from the water in front of the exit.
Derek: For Fucks Sake!
Dummy: Hahaha…. Seems that you're held back by the kid.
Derek looked at him with his hat shadowing his eyes.
Dummy: I am a ghost that lives inside a dummy. My cousin used to live inside a dumym too. Until… YOU CAME ALONG! When you talked to them, they thought they we're in for a nice chat… But the things you SAID….!
Derek and Frisk looked confused.
Dummy: Horrible. Shocking! UNBELIEVABLE! It spooked them right out of they're dummy. HUMANS! I'll scare your SOUL right out of your body!
A smile grew on Derek's face….A ghost, you can't kill a ghost, he could hit this thing as many times as he wanted and be PERFECTLY fine, both him and the dummy.
The fight grew on, tactics would change, moves would differ, but evuantly… Acid rain feel on the dummy.
Dummy: Acid rain? Ah forget it, I'm outta here.
Derek looked confused, but Frisk knew exactly who it was. Than, napstablook came down from above.
Blook:...sorry, i interrupted you, didn't i? as soon as i came over, you're friend immediately left... oh no...you guys looked like you we're having fun… oh no… i just wanted to say hi… oh no…
Derek sighed.
Blook: well, i'm going to head home now… oh, feel free to "come with" if you want. but no pressure… i understand if you're busy… it's fine...no worries… just thought i'd offer…
Napstablook would float off towards the exit of the dump, with Derek and Frisk following. Napstablook was about to head up another trail, when he stopped and turned around.
Blook: hey...my house is up here...in case you want to see it...or in case… you don't…
Napstablook floated off up the trail.
Derek: You wanna go there?
Frisk: Mhm.
Derek: Alright, we'll go to their house.
They walked towards Blook's house, which was neighboring a very similar house with a pink coloring. Napstablooks house was a blue-ish color. Derek knocked on the door of Blook's house… No one answered, he knocked again… No one answered, he checked the door knob, it was unlocked. He opened the door, walking into a single roomed house, with a computer, some music disc cases, a TV, and household necessities. Napstablook looked back at the humans.
Blook: oh...you really came...sorry i… wasn't expecting that… it's not much, but make yourself at home.
Derek's stomach growled.
Derek: Huh, guess i haven't eaten much. You got anything to eat?
Blook: I have some food in the fridge… if you want some…
Derek: Sure.
Blook floated over to the fridge, opening it, and pulling out a ghost sandwich.
Blook: this is a ghost sandwich… do you want to try it…
Derek: Yeah, sure.
Derek would try to grab the sandwich, but his hand would phase through.
Blook: oh...nevermind…
Derek: Don't worry, it's fine.
Blook: whenever i eat a great meal i like to lay on the floor and feel like garbage...it's a family tradition… do you want… to join me?
Derek would be in the back eating a pocketed wrapped up food he had with him, finishing it quite quickly.
Frisk: Ok.
Blook: ok, follow my lead…
The two went into the middle of the room, and layed down.
Blook: here we go… you'll lay down as long as you don't move.
Derek looked at them, which they looked like they we're getting lost in space. He got a small grin, then sighed. He hadn't slept in awhile, so he sat down on one of the walls in the house, and almost immediately fell asleep.
End chapter 9
Writer: Man, did this feel like a long chapter. I really like how many views I'v gotten with this story, it's one of my most viewed.
Smart Reader: It's because you joined the 'hype train' that this game still has with it.
Writer: Guess so, lucky timing is the best I could use to explain it. Anyways, it's chapter 9, and Derek seems to be getting worse on his mental health as this journey goes on, hope he makes it through.
