NOTE: I have updated chapters 1-10 (On 3/28/16), so if you want to, you could read through the previous chapters and find things that are now more canon to the plot. Those chapters went through MAJOR updates! I FINALLY stopped procrastinating on this chapter! Oh, and Undertale still belongs to Toby Fox.
Chapter 11
Frisk was now, once again, ankle deep in sandy water. It splashed as she made her way through it to a familiar, blue glow (Yes, a BLUE glow.) Frisk approached it, almost silently. It was an Echo Flower. Its petals protruded slightly from it, and it seemed to be whispering. Whispering… a warning. Frisk put her ear to it, and heard the Echo Flower, whisper in her ear, softly, but scared: "Behind you." Frisk paused for a moment. She hadn't heard anything follow her into the clearing.
Then, she heard metal thuds, along with rhythmic splashes. Frisk darted around to see Undyne standing at the other side of the dark clearing. Frisk's eyes instantly adjusted to the darkness. Undyne's eye glowed, angrily. She conjured a spear out of thin air and aimed it at Frisk. Undyne stepped forward, her spear inching closer. Undyne took another step. Frisk began shivering, and her heart began pounding in her chest. Undyne started walking a little faster toward Frisk. Frisk stepped back. The color faded from the world, and Frisk's soul glowed red and bright through her chest.
Undyne's spear came within a short five feet of Frisk's face, when the tall grass beside her began shaking. The color flashed back into the area as Monster Kid leaped out of the grass, and stood in between Frisk, and Undyne's glowing, pointy spear. "Yo'! You got a front seat to see Undyne fight!" the Monster Kid whispered to Frisk cheerfully. Then, he looked back and forth, at Undyne, then at Frisk, then back at Undyne. "Wait… who's she fighting?"
Then, Undyne grabbed one of Monster Kid's spikes that stood on his head, and dragged the stubborn child through the sandy water, and away from Frisk, and out of sight. "Hey… you aren't gonna tell my parents about this, are you?" the Monster Kid said in an upset tone. Frisk hadn't noticed that she was shivering until she began up a path with small, glowing patches of grass.
Frisk stumbled to a lone bridge, strung across a wide ravine. Stalactites and stalagmites were scattered along the roof and floors of the ravine. Frisk started her slow walk across the wooden bridge. It creaked under her weight in protest. Frisk clutched tightly to the ropes that supported the worn planks of wood. The bridge swung gently from side to side, and lightly bounced as Frisk's boots thudded along the wooden bridge.
"Yo'!" Frisk heard a voice call from behind her. She turned her head to see the monster kid at the start of the bridge. He looked nervous.
The Monster Kid approached Frisk, sweating perfuciously. "Yo', Undyne told me to stay away from you, human, so, I guess that makes us enemies or something? Um, say something that will make me hate you…" Frisk had never done anything of the sort, so she didn't think that she would do good with that. "Um… girly!" Frisk murmured. Monster Kid replied with a smirk, "Yo'! My sister says that to me all the time!" Frisk rubbed the back of her head as the Monster Kid continued. "Yo', uh… I hate your guts!" He said, almost with a hint of confidence.
Then, he turned around. He began running away from Frisk. Then, his foot caught onto a plank of wood on the bridge, he swung around, and he bit into the bridge with his large buck teeth. "Yah! Helsh megh!" The Monster Kid shouted. All of a sudden, as though from nowhere, Undyne appeared at the other side of the bridge, her armor casting a shadow onto the bridge. Frisk's heart pounded fiercely in her chest. Undyne started to slowly walk forward toward Frisk. Frisk sprinted over to Monster Kid, grabbed the bottom of his head with both of her hands (Because Monster Kid doesn't have hands.), and hoisted him into a standing position on the bridge.
The Monster Kid turned toward Undyne, and raised his voice with confidence. "Yo'... um… if you want to hurt my friend… um… you'll have to get through me!" After he said this, Undyne stood, rooted to the spot, spear in hand. After staring at the Monster Kid for a few seconds, she began walking backwards, as though afraid of the Monster Kid.
The Monster Kid was breathing heavily, and he was shaking. He then turned to Frisk. "Yo'... thanks for helping me back there… that was awesome dude…" Monster Kid then turned away, and ran off. And as always, he tripped once or twice, but fortunately didn't fall off of the bridge.
The temperature began to get warmer as Frisk came to the end of the bridge, and she began feeling sweat trickle down her head. She wiped it off with the back of her hand and continued on. Then, she reached what seemed like the entrance to a cave. Frisk was standing on the top of a massive stony cliff, and the cave entrance was on the top of the same cliff. The skies of the underground were an ominous red, and being poked by tall, pointy stone towers that loomed in the distance. Above the entrance to the cave, was a small, pointed mountain. Undyne was standing at the top of it, facing away from Frisk, fully donned in her iron armor, her fiery red ponytailed hair waved in the howling wind.
"Seven… seven human souls…" Undyne said, loud enough for Frisk to hear. Seven souls… and king Asgore will become a god… he has six souls… he just needs one more…" silence broke out for a few seconds. "Let me tell you a story…" Undyne said darkly. "It all started long ago…" Undyne turned around, and looked down at Frisk. "You know what? Screw it! Why should I tell you the story about our people, if you're about to die!? Step forward if you dare!" Undyne said. She lifted her helmet off of her head, and tossed it aside. Undyne had blue, scaly skin, sharp, yellow teeth, small side fins on the sides of her head, and a yellow, piercing, right eye. Her left eye was covered with an eyepatch. Undyne attacks.
