Chapter 33: The Killer of Temmie Village

It was dark inside the cave, but it was quickly lit up by light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Ruby looked at the Temmies. Some of them were looking at her in awe. Others in surprise. But there was one thing that shined in all of their eyes; hope.

Ruby turned her attention back to Tem. The apparent leader led her to a small chair...which was, in fact, a bunch of Temmies that had bunched together to make a chair. Ruby looked at the Temmie chair, but Tem said, "wELAX! yOu awR tEMMIE gweST O hONor!"

Ruby said politel, "No thanks."

Tem turned serious again and said, "Sit. Down."

Ruby sat down immediately.

"sHo...yOU waNd to hEWp tEMMIE vilLaGe, ja?"

"That's what I'm here for..."

"Ja! thEN we shwuD fWosT show U what Is dwa pWoblEm!" Tem walked to something lying on the floor, and pulled it upright. It was a small projector on a tripod. Ten hit a few buttons, and another Temmie put up a huge board against the wall. The projector started playing.

"for some time, a MonStEr hWas been DwerroRRiZIng tEMMIE vilLaGe." The projector showed terrified Temmies running away from something.

"it cAme oUt of noWhUR, juSt fRoM the sky, Loik that!" Ten made an arc wit her left paw. "we kept caLLIng fwOr hEilP... UnTwil a waRrIOr came..."

The projector showed an armor-clad, buff looking monster, with a huge hammer in hand. He said, "I, Duke Knight, will see to this 'monster,' and teach it a lesson (he swung his hammer) for killing these innocent Temmies!"

The next clip showed the warrior, Duke Knight, approaching a cave.

"dWiS cave is nOt vWery FaR frOM tEMMIE VilLage, it's whERe we KepT oUR sWEkRet ten fWAk's ingrEDientS..."

"Ten ...fwakes?" Ruby asked.

Tem flakes, Chara corrected her.

Bringing her attention back to the screen, Ruby saw Duke Knight atop at the cave mouth. He yelled, "Cowardly creature! Come out and FIGHT!"

Ruby watched. What could it be? What could it be?!

And she saw what.

A small Froggit, no more than half a foot tall.

What, was Chara's response. Ruby looked at Tem and said, "What... Seriously, Tem?! I thought it was something dangerous! But you got me all worked up for a Froggit?!"

"bUt wOOk!"

Ruby looked back at the screen. To see Duke Knight's head get completely ripped off from the throat, as the Froggit tore the head with it's teeth, sending the head flying into the air. The head turned to dust, and so did the body of the knight before it could it could hit the ground.

Ruby jumped back in complete shock, with Chara screaming, "JESUS CHRIST!"

Tem looked sharply at Ruby, saying, "CwE? CwE?! tHe kWillER is dwAngErOs!"

Ruby took back control, and looked at the Froggit on the projector. Chara said, Wait...I've never seen a Froggit look like that...

And she wasn't kidding. This Froggit, unlike the ones in the Ruins, had dark greenish skin instead of white, and hollow black eyes that had red glowing pupils. It actually seemed menacing.

Ok, so its a Froggit that tears peoples heads off, and he's recently been killing Temmies. Any idea why? Ruby asked.

How should I know?! I've never seen a Froggit like this one before!

What? But...

I said it. I've never seen this one.

Ruby grew silent. She looked at the terrified Temmies, and then at tthe projector. At the killer Froggit. She closed her eyes, and said, Can I defeat that Froggit while sticking to Toriel's promise?

Possible chances of having your head torn off-

OK, ok, I know, its dangerous. But...I promised.

Chara was silent yet again. Ruby didn't like it whenever they did that. She could now feel the presence of Chara in her mind. And she was clearly thinking. It felt strange, having your own mind, but letting something else live in there.

Ruby closed her eyes to think herself. So its a deadly Froggit...could I talk it out? But...he doesn't seem much for conversation... I could kill it, I'm pretty much born to do that, but...I promised Toriel...

"wOt's thE MaTTer?" Term asked, "arWn't yOU goIn to heWp us?"

Ruby looked at Ten, then looked away. Then she looked at Tem again and said,

"I'll do it."

TO BE CONTINUED!

The Froggit shown here is (my idea of) an Underfell Froggit. But this is Undertale! So where the heck did Underfell come from here? You'll find out much later.
