Hello!

'Yay... Another dark room, let me guess, Mettaton is in here somewhere with another way of killing me, isn't he?' She continued on walking, holding high suspicion on what to expect should the lights turn on. Alphys called Frisk on her way through the darkness. "Okay, I'm back! A-another dark room, huh? Don't worry! M-my hacking skills have got things covered!" The lights turned on and Frisk could only see a large area in front of her and a giant piece of cardboard to her left with a hole big enough for her to fit through. "Are you serious?" "OHHHHHHH YESSS! GOOD EVENINGS, BEAUTIES AND GENTLEBEAUTIES! THIS IS METTATON, REPORTING LIVE FROM MTT NEWS! AN INTERESTING SITUATION HAS ARISEN IN EASTERN HOTLAND!" 'What the heck is going on?' "FORTUNATELY, OUR CORRESPONDENT IS OUT THERE, REPORTING LIVE!" 'Yay... I get to do more work for you...' "BRAVE CORRESPONDENT! PLEASE FIND SOMETHING NEWSWORTHY TO REPORT! OUR TEN WONDERFUL VIEWERS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!" 'Only ten?' Frisk looked at all the numerous objects laying around. Nothing looked suspicious though, so she went up and checked everything. The first thing was a glass, somehow still holding water in the heat. "OH MY! ...IT'S A COMPLETELY NONDESCRIPT GLASS OF WATER. BUT ANYTHING CAN MAKE A GREAT STORY WITH ENOUGH SPIN!" The next item Frisk walked upon was some sort of book with an image Mettaton printed on the front. "OH NO! THAT MOVIE SCRIPT! HOW'D? DID THAT GET THERE? IT'S A SUPER-JUICY SNEAK PREVIEW OF MY LATEST GUARANTEE-NOT-TO-BOMB FILM: METTATON THE MOVIE XXVIII... STARRING METTATON! I'VE HEARD THAT LIKE THE OTHER FILMS... IT CONSISTS MOSTLY A SINGLE FOUR-HOUR SHOT OF ROSE PETALS SHOWERING OVER MY RECLINING BODY!" 'oh god...' "OH! BUT THAT'S! NOT CONFIRMED!YOU WOULDN'T" Fake cough. "SPOIL MY MOVIE FOR EVERYONE WITH A PROMOTIONAL STORY, WOULD YOU?" 'Why would I want to?' She continued onto the next object. The next one she walked up on was a basket ball. "BASKETBALL'S A BLAST, ISN'T IT, DARLING?" 'I don't like sports...' "TOO BAD YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH THESE BALLS. THEY'RE MTT-BRAND FASHION BASKETBALLS. FOR WEARING, NOT PLAYING. YOU CAN'T GET RICH AND FAMOUS WITHOUT BEAUTIFYING A FEW ORBS." '...Is... Is this really important for becoming famous?' The next thing Frisk walked up to was a video game with Mettaton imprinted on the cover. "OOH LA LA! THIS VIDEO GAME YOU FOUND... IS DYNAMITE!" 'WHAT?!' "THOUGH I DON'T MAKE AN APPEARANCE UNTIL THREE FOURTHS IN. BUT I LIKE THAT. APPEARING FROM THE HEAVENS LIKE MANNA, SLAKING THE AUDIENCE'S HUNGER FOR GORGEOUS ROBOTS... OH! THAT'S METTATON!" Frisk went onto the next item. The next item was a present. 'OH MY! IT'S A PRESENT! AND IT'S ADDRESSED TO YOU, DARLING!AREN'T YOU JUST BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT? WHAT COULD BE INSIDE? WELL, NO TIME LIKE THE 'PRESENT' TO FIND OUT!" Frisk couldn't help but giggle to the pun. "This is most likely a trap.' She went onto the next item, which was a dog. "WHAT A SENSATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR A STORY! I CAN SEE THE HEADLINE NOW: DOG EXISTS SOMEWHERE! FRANKLY, I'M BLOWN AWAY." Frisk looked around. 'There's nothing else here so I might as well report it or I'm never leaving.' "ATTENTION VIEWERS! OUR CORRESPONDENT HAS FOUND... A DOG! THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS! IT'S THE FEEL-GOOD STORY OF THE YEAR! LOOK AT ITS EARS, TINY PAWS, FLUFFY TAIL... WAIT A SECOND... THAT'S NOT A TAIL! THAT'S... A FUSE! THAT'S RIGHT... THAT DOG... IS A BOMB!" 'A WHAT?' "BUT DON'T PANIC!" 'WHY SHOULDN'T I? YOU'RE ABOUT TO BLOW ME UP!' "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE REST OF THE ROOM YET!" 'OH GOD!' The cardboard in front of her completely fell apart, letting the audience see the rest of the room. "OH MY! IT SEEMS EVERYTHING IN THIS AREA IS A BOMB! THAT PRESENT'S A BOMB!" 'NEW IT!' "THAT BASKETBALL'S A BOMB! EVEN MY WORDS ARE...! BRAVE CORRESPONDENT... IF YOU DON'T DEFUSE ALL THE BOMBS..." "I blow up.' "THIS BIG BOMB WILL BLOW YOU TO SMITHEREENS IN TWO MINUTES!" Frisk looked up and indeed saw a really large bomb laying there. '...a... a... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?' "THEN YOU WON'T BE REPORTING 'LIVE' ANY LONGER! HOW TERRIBLE! HOW DISTURBING! OUR NINE VIEWERS ARE GOING TO LOVE WATCHING THIS! GOOD LUCK, DARLING!" 'UGH!' Frisk then got a call from someone. "D-don't worry... I installed a bomb defusing program on your phone!" 'W...WHY?' "Use the 'DEFUSE' option when the bomb is in the defuse zone! N-now, go get 'em!" She hung up. 'ohgodohgodohgod!' Each bomb was the same yet different at the same time. All she had to do was walk into the bombs or be hit by it while it was moving, and then defuse it. She almost lost but got the last one just in time. "WELL DONE, DARLING! YOU'VE DEACTIVATED ALL THE BOMBS! IF YOU DIDN'T DEACTIVATE THEM, THE BOMB WOULD'VE EXPLODED IN TWO MINUTES. NOW IT WON'T EXPLODE IN TWO MINUTES. INSTEAD, IT'LL EXPLODE IN TWO SECONDS! GOODBYE, DARLING!" 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' A few moments passed and nothing happened. "AH. THE BOMB DOESN'T SEEM TO BE GOING OFF." 'Oh thank god.' Alphys's voice came from somewhere, maybe a speaker. "That's b-because! While you were monologuing... I...! I f... fix... um... I ch-change..." "OH NO. YOU DEACTIVATED THE BOMB WITH YOUR HACKING SKILLS." "Yeah! That's what I did!" "CURSES! IT SEEMS THAT I'VE BEEN FOILED AGAIN! CURSE YOU, HUMAN! CURSE YOU, DR. ALPHYS! FOR HELPING SO MUCH! BUT I DON'T CURSE OUR EIGHT WONDERFUL VIEWERS FOR TUNING IN! UNTIL NEXT TIME, DARLING!" "Wow. W-we really showed him, huh... ...h-hey, i know i was kinda weird at first... But I really think I'm getting more... Uh, more... M-more confident about guiding you! S-so don't worry about that b-big d-dumb robot... I-I'll protect you from him!A-and if it really c-came down to it, we could just t-turn... Um, nevermind. Later!" 'O...kay?' Frisk looked around to see if she could find the path that would lead her to the next area, eventually she found it and went onto the next room. All she could see was a long path with the core in the background, seemingly bigger than the last time she saw it. On the way down, Alphys called her and asked "why she was so quiet" and "are you afraid to meet Asgore?" and said "Don't be, he's a really great guy". The next room was little, only holding an elevator. She stepped inside and selected "Left floor 3" Figuring that was where she needed to go.
