Waterfall

Frisk, Chara, and Snow walked through an exceptionally dark area of Waterfall with the only light, which lit up the path, coming from these strange, glowing mushrooms. Frisk stuck to the path until he noticed a light to the south, but no path to it.

"Hey Chara, what's over there?" Frisk asked.

"That's Temmie Village if I remember correctly." Chara stated.

"Temmie?" Frisk asked. "What's a Temmie?"

"Temmies resemble cats, with dog ears on the side of their heads as well as their normal cat ears, shoulder length black hair, and blue shirts." Chara explained. "Temmies are rather weird compared to most monsters.

Normally, when two monsters create a child, they combine their magic to produce an off spring; however, Temmies are asexual by nature and lay eggs when they wish to do so. Those eggs are then classified as 'Soft-Boiled' or 'Hard-Boiled'.

It all depends on how long the Temmie is an egg you see. You can probably also tell what those terms really mean. Both kinds of Temmie do deserve respect, and they are rather kind to Humans."

Frisk nodded. "I'm going to check the place out."

Temmie Village

He walked into the village and found many Temmies all around. Four of them stood before the panting of a Temmie on a dragon, another stood with an egg, and another by a hole in the wall. There was also a shop called 'Tem's Shop'.

Frisk walked up to the four Temmies in a row with the first three all saying, "hOI! im temmie and this is my friend!"

The last one said. "Hi, I'm Bob."

"Huh, I can see what you meant Chara." Frisk thought.

He decided to enter the shop where he was greeted by a Temmie. "hOI! welcom to da Tem Shop!"

"Hi, what do you sell?" Frisk asked.

"tem Have tem flake, reglar, expnsiv, and On sAl. you can also pay 4 tem colleg. 1000 G's." Temmie suddenly froze. "I sens somthin in bag. you gots DogResidu!"

Frisk opened his bag and pulled out a small, blue ball causing Snow to bark. "Snow." He scratched his head. "This doesn't look or smell like what dogs usually produce. Is this because you're a magic dog?"

"I'm at a lose here." Chara stated completely stumped.

Frisk touched the blue ball producing a second.

"i gota have dat DogResidus…" Temmie began.

Waterfall, Much Later…

Frisk now wore a thin, lavender chest pieces under his magenta trench coat, but over his blue shirt. "I like the armor, but I have no idea what that Temmie was thinking. If he had all that Gold to buy what Snow produced, then why didn't he just go to college himself?"

Chara sighed. "I have no idea Frisk. Fact is that some people are just weird like that." She smiled. "Look on the bright side, you got more Gold for yourself and a cool piece of armor that seems rather strong. Plus, if you really need money, you can sell more."

Frisk chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "About that… I kind of sold that last one." He looked at Snow. "Any chance you can make more?"

Snow whimpered and poked his head back into the bag.

Chara sighed. "Damn it Frisk. You were so good about keeping one on you only to end up selling it ?"

"You can't really blame me Chara." Frisk tried to reason. "I mean come on, I sold the same thing repeatedly just to send that Temmie to college and get this armor. It's only naturally I'd lose track!"

Chara shook her head. "Well, at least you came out of it with a bit more Gold and the armor. I guess it's alright."

They finally made it to the bridge, and began crossing, only for Frisk to stop as he heard a familiar voice. "Yo!" He turned to see Monster Kid approaching him. "I've been looking for you for awhile now. There's something I want to ask. Are you a Human?"

Frisk nodded. "I am little guy."

"Man, I knew it." Monster Kid stated with a weak chuckle. "I know it now. I found Undyne and told her what I was doing… About you. She told me to stay away from you. So, um, I guess that makes us enemies. I kinda stink at that though. Please say something mean, so I can hate you."

"It doesn't have to be that way Monster Kid." Frisk stated seriously. "Humans and Monsters don't have to be enemies or hate each other."

Monster Kid turned to the right and looked down. "Man, so I have to do it." He turned back to Frisk. "Here goes nothing… Yo, I… I hate your guts." He turned away from Frisk. "I'm such a turd. I'm going to go home now." He tripped and fell over the side as he ended up clinging to the rock slightly below with his legs. "Yo, I tripped! Someone, please help me! I don't want to fall!"

Frisk was about to lunge into action when Undyne came from the other side of the bridge. "What's she doing here!"

"The crag is nearby. My guess is, she heard Monster Kid and rushed around to get to you." Chara stated. "What are you going to do Frisk?"

Frisk rushed forward. "Hold on Monster Kid, I got you!"

He pulled the little monster up as Undyne advanced on him. This caused the captain to back up in shock. Monster Kid looked from Frisk to Undyne before he stepped forward facing his greatest hero.

"Y… y… y… yo… dude. If… If y-you wanna hurt my friend… you're gonna have to get through me, first." Mosnter kid firmly declared.

Undyne backed up more before running away.

Frisk smiled. "That was brave Monster Kid, but you should hurry home. No doubt your parents have been worried sick with your absence."

Monster Kid nodded. "Your right." He smiled at Frisk. "Later!"

He then ran off.E He then

"That was nice Frisk, but no doubt Undyne's doubled back to the crag by now which means you're going to have to face her." Chara stated sounding worried. "Are you sure you're ready?"

Frisk gave a reassuring smile. "I don't know if I'm ready, but I'm willing to give it a shot regardless." With that, he dropped his bag on the ground but not before pocketing 7 of the food bars and the monster candy. "Stay here and guard my bag Snow."

Snow barked before ducking back into the bag. Frisk then continued with Chara. They walked to the crag only to see Undyne standing on top of it.

"Seven." Undyne began. "Seven Human souls, and King Asgore will become a god. Six. That's how many we collected thus far. Understand. Through your seventh and final soul, this world will be transformed.

First; however, as is customary for those who make it this far… I shall tell you the tale of our people. It all started long ago… No, you know what? Screw it! Why should I tell you the story when you're about to die!? Ngaaaaah!"

She removed her helmet revealing that Undyne was a piscine, anthropomorphic monster. She has blue scales, a long red ponytail, red and blue fins on the sides of her head, and a pair of sharp, yellow, protruding teeth. She wears red eye shadow and an eyepatch on her left eye.

Despite that fact that this was his enemy, Frisk couldn't help but be awestruck. "She looks like she's straight out of an anime! She talks like she's from an anime!"

"Frisk, damn it!" Chara shouted. "Concentrate! She's currently your enemy!"

"You! You're standing in the way of everyone's hopes and dreams!" Undyne continued. "Alphys' history books made me think Humans were cool… with there giant robots and flowery swordswomen! But you? You're just a coward! What with that wimpy goody-two-shoes-schtick!

You're not fooling me because your continued existence is a crime! Your life is all that stands between us and our freedom! Right now, I can feel everyone's hearts pounding as one! They've been waiting their whole lives for this moment! Now, let's end this right here and now!"

Frisk drew his blade. "I have no intention of dying Undyne!"

"That's the spirit!" Undyne shouted as she jumped on down. "No more running away!" She moved her lance casting green magic which made it impossible for Frisk to move except for spinning in place. "En garde!"

"Damn, more magic!" Magic spears began to appear and surround Frisk. "Which will be fired first."

Undyne had the spears launched at the crag causing the entrance to collapse. "No running onward Human because I won't give you the chance to escape."

"Undyne, we don't have to fight!" Frisk shouted.

"We most certainly do." Undyne declared. "Now, take this!" The spears flew at Frisk who gripped his kendo blade with both hands and managed to block them. "Not bad, but how about this!"

Many more spears appeared and launched at the Human forcing him to spin every which way to block them, but some got through causing Frisk to start to bleed. Frisk then noticed his soul turn to normal as a last spear came at him from the side. He rolled back panting.

"Frisk, she's gearing up to face you head on." Chara stated clearly concerned. "Eat the candy and a bar to recover."

Frisk did just that and finished both before Undyne engaged him head on with her main spear in hand. The two clashed weapons, but it was clear that Frisk was at a huge disadvantage. Undyne was a trained warrior while Frisk took classes.

"Undyne, listen to me." Frisk managed. "We don't have to be enemies."

"Yes, we do because your soul is that which holds everyone's hopes and dreams captive inside this mountain." More spears appeared around Frisk impaling him as he was to busy with Undyne. "I won't let you snatch those away from us!"

She kicked the injured Frisk knocking him to his back.

"This isn't good." Chara looked at Frisk. "Frisk, you can't take her on. Don't throw your live away. Just eat two bars and run back the other way. You can lose her."

Frisk jumped back to his feet panting as he felt the Temmie Armor restore his clothes and help restore his health, but stamina was another matter. "I don't think I could get away even if I wanted to Chara."

Undyne tightly gripped her spear. "What are Humans made of? Anyone else would be dead by now." She charged in once more and stabbed her spear at Frisk with all her might. "Take this!"

Frisk just managed to get his sword up in time to take the hit only for it to then split in two. The spear then nailed the shocked Human in the chest knocking him to the ground and sending him skidding along it. The two halves of his sword fell uselessly to the ground.

"Damn, my sword… it broke." Frisk thought as he registered the pain of his wounds and his armors rate of healing them slowly.

"Frisk… Frisk! Why aren't you moving already!" Chara looked at Undyne who was slowly approaching him. "She's coming Frisk, so get up. Get up now and move!"

"No human has ever made it past King Asgore." Undyne stated as she caused more spears to appear around him. "Killing you now is a mercy."

Frisk slowly rose to his feet, with his eyes closed, panting. "You know, there was a time I'd have let you have my soul."

Undyne sent the spears at Frisk. So. Many. Spears. It created a dust cloud that obscured Frisk completely.

Despite knowing he'd reset, Chara couldn't help but tear up, fall to her knees, and angrily punch the ground. "Moron! Moron! Moron! You should have run! You don't need to fight! You've done just that before, so why now!"

"Guess I'm trying to prove a point." Frisk thought to Chara causing her to look around frantically. "Though fighting her may not be the solution as I thought."

She spotted Frisk now standing before the collapsed doorway of the crag eating food bars with his eyes down.

Undyne looked back at him shocked. "How did he appear over there!?"

Frisk swallowed the monster food and looked up as his eyes glowed blue. An indication of his determination.

Chara looked at him. "His Determination… It's huge. Bigger than mine ever was."

Then his soul reappeared revealing the white triangle within. "I'm not to certain myself, but seems my Determination is back at full which means my powers have awakened. With them, I have some innate knowledge. Not sure what that's about, but I'll take it."

Undyne grit her teeth. "I see. I'd wondered why you weren't using magic like the previous kids." She swung her spear out in front of her. "This changes nothing. You will still be defeated here and now!"

Frisk smiled. "Sorry, not going to happen." He suddenly vanished from view again only for his voice to be muffled. "I'm heading to Hotland, see ya!"

Undyne's eyes opened wide and she ran at the entrance smashing through her own blockade only to see Frisk sprinting down the path. "Get back here Human!"

She gave chase as Chara joined Frisk. "You had me worried Frisk. Really worried!"

"Sorry about that Chara." Frisk genuinely thought. "Didn't…"

He heard more spears being hurled his way and looked back to see just that. He began dodging as he ran ever onward.

"We'll talk more about all of this later." Chara stated. "For now, just get away from her!"

Frisk continued to dodge the spears as he ran. "Already doing that Chara!"

"Stop running!" Undyne shouted. "Get back here punk!"

Frisk didn't answer nor did her pick up his phone, which was in his pocket, as it rang. He entered Hotland, which lived up to its name, and saw Sans resting at a sentry station. He paid it no mind, but Undyne did. He soon made it to a space with a water cooler before collapsing to his knees.

"Frisk, she's coming!" Chara shouted. "Move or teleport… Just do something!"

"I'm already trying Chara, but my body isn't responding easily right now." Frisk replied.

He managed to struggle to his feet as Undyne drew closer to him, but she was considerably slowed due to the heat. "Armor… so… hot… But I can't… Give up…"

She collapsed to the ground with a thud. Frisk, heavily panting, turned to see Undyne unconscious on the ground.

"She's out of it." Chara stated relieved until she noticed Frisk filling a cup of water. "Frisk…"

"Chara, you know I have to do this." Frisk stated.

"No, you don't." Chara stated. "Yes, you can load if she tries to attack you, but I'd rather not see, and have the memory of, her impaling you with that lance of hers. Someone else will come along and help her."

"We don't know that Chara." Frisk slowly made his way to Undyne.

Chara sighed and shook her head. "You have a good heart Frisk. Better than mine."

"It's only natural you'd feel apprehensive. Honestly, I would to if it weren't for you. Because of you, I've begun to remember what little acts of kindness others have done for me. Now, I want monsters to feel those same acts. To know that Humans aren't bad." Frisk thought.

He poured the water on Undyne which roused her. The captain stared intensely at Frisk before saying nothing and walking back towards Waterfall. Frisk sighed, moved towards the cooler, removed it, and just began downing it. It was so cool and refreshing.

When the Human was done, he set the thing beside the machine and slowly started his walk back to Waterfall with Chara. He noticed Sans had vanished, but just continued. Once he had his stuff, he called Gaster.

"Frisk, are you in trouble?" Gaster asked.

Frisk was extremely tired. "Not quite. I'm sorry to ask, but I honestly can't get to a place where I can rest. Mind coming to… get… me."

With that, Frisk fell backwards slipping in and out of consciousness.

"I got you." Gaster appeared and caught him. "Just rest."

Frisk smiled. "Thanks, Gaster."

The Human passed out.

Frisk's Dream: Waterfall, Bridge…

Frisk, as transparent as always in these dreams, stood on the bridge with the Wizard Gaster. His clothes were now cloaked in dust and he carried a staff Frisk could only describe as arcane. Clearly, WG had come a long way since the beginning.

WG faced Monster Kid who seemed unsure with a touch of fright. "Yo. Undyne told me to stay away from you. She said you… hurt a lot of people. But, that not true, right!?"

WG stayed silent, but Frisk could hear his thoughts. "Exactly as I observed in so many timelines before. Undyne will soon arrive." He grinned maliciously before slowly approaching the child. "Just got to play this right."

"Oh, man." Monster Kid stepped back before suddenly gaining some courage. "Y-you'd b-better st-stop r-right where you are… Cause if you w-wanna hurt anyone else… you're… You're gonna have to get through me, first."

Wizard Gaster held his staff out and sent a red beam at Monster Kid with intent to kill. Frisk ground his teeth angrily at seeing this until Undyne got in the way taking the blast through her gut and leaving a hole as she stood protectively in front of Monster Kid.

Monster Kid looked at her. "Undyne, y-you're hurt."

Undyne put on a smile as she placed her hand over the hole. "Hurt? It's nothing. Next time, listen when I tell you to leave, okay?"

Monster Kid teared up. "Undyne." They fell. "I-I…"

Undyne spoke up. "I'll take care of this. Get out of here." Monster Kid walked away allowing the captain to laugh at herself. "It's nothing…" She began to turn to dust. "No, somehow… with just one hit… I'm already." She was cracking up and fell to her knees. "Damn it."

WG laughed. "It is no mystery Undyne. I am neither Monster nor Human. Wizard nor Boss Monster. By taking the soul of the Human who owned it. This particular soul of Determination. I have become a Demon. Something far more powerful than anything you could imagine.

An ender of timelines given enough power. Power that I have been acquiring from this timeline." He chuckled. "You wouldn't understand. There are only a handful of people with the ability to stop me. You aren't it."

He turned and began to walk away.

Undyne punched the ground and Frisk could now hear her thoughts. "Damn… Papyrus. Alphys." She looked at WG's back. "Asgore. Just like that… My body." She gripped her eye patch. "It feels as though it's splitting apart."

She was breaking down faster and faster. "Like, at any moment I'll scatter into a million pieces, but deep deep in my soul there is a burning sensation in my chest that I can't describe." She ripped the eye patch off.

"A feeling that won't let me die." Her dust rejoined and whipped up around her as her body went through a change. "This isn't just about monsters anymore. If this demon gets by me, then he will destroy them all. Monsters… Humans… Everyone.

He will destroy them all. Everyone's Hopes. Everyone's dreams. Vanquished in and instant. I won't let you do that. Right now, I can feel everyone's hearts beating as one. We all have one goal…. To defeat you. Demon, for the sake of the whole world, I will strike you down!"

Gaster smirked as the dust cleared. Undyne's pupils had turned white, and her sclera black. She no longer has an eyepatch, and her newly revealed empty eye socket emitted a flashing light in the shape of a spear. Her hair spiked at the ends like a trident.

She also had a new set of darker colored armor with souls/hearts on her chest plate and new white gloves, which have spikes protruding from their backside, accompanied by boots with pointed toes. She was in a runner's position with her spear in her left hand.

Gaster held out his staff as red magic appeared around him. "With Sans already dead, this shall be the ultimate tests of my power. Accumulated and acquired."

Undyne rushed forward shattering the bridge with her insane speed. Fortunately, Frisk had moved to solid ground well before this and just stared in awe at Undyne hoping she defeated WG.

Undyne jumped into the air and aimed her spear at Gaster. She summoned hundreds of magic spears behind her making it clear that her Magic was far stronger than when Frisk had faced her in the waking world.

Gaster stood his ground and took a deep breath as the spears came at him. He began spinning his staff generating a shield that the spears crashed into cracking severely, but it still held. He then pushed it out straight at Undyne slamming it into her.

Undyne hit the ground on the other side of the chasm between them, but she was far from done. The heroine stood, summoned another spear, and jumped the gap as Gaster jumped back from her. The two then engaged in armed combat. Staff against lance.

Gaster soon found the time to snap his fingers causing a Gaster Blaster to appear. This one was far larger than the two Sans had used against him. The beam began to charge distracting the Heroine.

He thrust his staff into her chest plate and with a burst of magic sent her back over the chasm. The beam fired after her. Undyne screamed from the pain and crashed down on the other side. Gaster jumped over and slowly approached the down heroine.

A noticeable, malicious smirk graced his face. "I had hoped you'd have lasted longer Undyne. I barely broke a sweat. Didn't even need to load at all. Maybe it helped that I'd observed your same transformation time and time again. Every time it was futile."

Undyne coughed and panted from her place on the ground. "I don't care what you say punk." She slowly got to her feet. "Fighting isn't futile. I will defeat you and protect everyone!"

Gaster got bored and looked around only to notice that Monster Kid hadn't gone to far as he knelt in the grass.

Gaster laughed. "Really now?" He shot a blast from his staff turning Monster Kid to dust before Undyne's eyes. "Well, you couldn't protect him." Black and blue tears fell from Undyne's eyes and she began to melt as all that determination she had begun to fade.

"That's really it? All you have?" He continued to laugh and antagonize her. "This is simply priceless. Next to Sans, you're the biggest threat a Genocidal Human could face, and you fall due to one Monster's death.

I will remember that as I move onto the next timeline. I can't wait to do the same repeatedly. Next time it should be someone closer than Monster Kid. I'll remember this and use Papyrus, Asgore, or Alphys. Why not all three?"

Undyne froze in place as she stopped turning to liquid.

The heroine gripped her fist. "I don't get what your talking about, and frankly I don't care. What I do care about is protecting the people I care about more than anything in the world." She got to her feet. "You won't lay a finger on them!"

Her Monster Soul, which glowed red with determination, appeared. An orange triangle appeared in the center as her Boss Monster soul truly awakened.

"Impressive." Wizard Gaster continued to smirk. "Most impressive. Unlike most Boss Monsters, death awakened a different power while correct motivation awakened the true power of her Soul. With these factors in mind, she's more powerful than ever."

Undyne's insane increase to her speed caught the unprepared Wizard off guard. The heroine slammed a fist into Gaster's gut before removing it. The wizard began to fall into the abyss below, but Undyne was going to be certain that this was over.

She jumped and spun axe kicking WG into the abyss before lunging after him with a flurry of punches and kicks. To finish the combo, she hammers fisted him into the shallow lake below. Undyne jumped back and watched as the Wizard stood.

Gaster woofed down a couple of those food bars repairing his clothes and self. "Yes, this is the battle I wanted…" Undyne launched forward, but Gaster just barely managed to block with his staff. "That's it! Show me your power! Show me Undyne!"

Hands with holes surrounded Undyne while magic spears did the same to Gaster. The two fired their respective weapons. Multiple colored beams nailed the heroine while spears impaled Gaster. Then, Frisk saw it. Gaster's soul shattered and his hands vanished.

Undyne, stumbled as her broken armor fell to the ground below. The heroine, heavily wounded and exhausted beyond belief, fell to the water before turning to dust. Glad to rest knowing that the people were safe.

Frisk was both amazed that Undyne stopped Gaster until he was brought to a save point which Gaster stepped out of good as new. "My first death…" He chuckled. "This is going to be a learning experience."

He walked back to the bridge and Frisk knew that Undyne would eventually fall unless she could make Gaster give up. Gaster wasn't about to do that any time soon. This point was proven when Frisk ended up back at the shallow lake.

Gaster had stabbed his staff straight through Undyne. "30 loads top beat you. Not bad Undyne. Not bad at all."

He retracted his staff and Undyne began to melt unable to continue fighting. "Damn it. So, even a true Boss Monster imbued with Determination wasn't enough. Heheheh…" Despite this, she gave a huge, genuine smile.

"If you… If you think I'm going to give up hope, you're wrong. You already admitted yourself that someone can stop you. On top of that, I got my friends behind me. Alphys said she'd watch the fight.

If anything went wrong, she'd step up. She will evacuate everyone. You might be strong, but Asgore can stop you. With the power of 6 souls, this world will live on because I believe Asgore is one of those people."

She then turned to dust and Gaster collected her soul storing it away before walking on. "You're wrong Undyne. True, my words may have changed what you normally say, but much of it was intact. Asgore can't stop me. With my plan, no one will be able to stop me."

Snowed Inn: Room 201

Frisk bolted awake and turned to Chara. "I had…"

Chara hugged him stopping Frisk. "Yeah, you had another dream like the others. I could tell it was especially bad; however, just let me enjoy the fact that you're okay, alright Frisk."

Frisk hugged her back. "Sorry Chara. I didn't mean to worry you."

He truly meant that. He could tell Chara was upset, more at the situation than Frisk himself, but she at least seemed happy now. That was enough, in the moment, for Frisk. Although, he was starting to find it odd that they hugged so much., Not that he was complaining. Far from it.
