Chapter 8: Chaos begin
Just when things about to calm a little, there is always something in the way, that turns everything upside down again.
"So...what should we do now?" Alphys said, but the room still filled with silence...there is nothing anyone can think to say "This...I'm not really sure if it is bad or good..."
"Isn't it a good thing that Sans meet his child again," Papyrus asked
"I mean...it is! But in this circumstance...I'm not really sure..." Alphys said, looking away, expression troubled
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean...Undyne." Alphys said simply...she doesn't want to deal with it
Papyrus's expression sadden a little
"What's wrong?" Toriel asked, unknowingly thought to herself. What's that fish girl have anything to do with it?
"Undyne...she is the queen now. You know that monster, with 7 human souls, can become a god and break the barrier...but they only need one human soul to cross the barrier." Alphys said, sending a chill into Toriel
"It can't be..."
"It can be. Undyne makes a decision...to kill any human who fallen down here if there is one. She will use that soul to cross the barrier, takes 6 more and…...and Aster...I'm not sure of what can happen if she found out." Alphys is now trembling with her words...she doesn't even dare to think about the possibility
"Undyne is not like that...Aster is my family after all, and he isn't really a human, right?" Papyrus said, he wants to believe, but to no avail. Undyne was desperate…
To be said, Undyne was never the ruler type, and in order to keep people's hope, she is losing hers…
That's not worthy of blame for her action, though…she was supposed to keep people hope up not…making them violent…
It's just…this is not a good choice in anyway…
"That's even more dangerous…a soul like that is even stronger than normal human souls…I want to believe that Undyne…but I can't…" Alphys said, her voice cracked a little…
"So? We need to protect Aster! Undyne maybe my friend, but Aster is my family." Papyrus's determination seems to surprise Alphys a bit
"I guess…waiting is all we can do now," Toriel said, signing…
It's not like there are many choices anyway…
They are here…the mountain in the legend
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Lena asked…she was not so sure of the fact that they are going to jump…
The legend said who climb this mountain never came back…
But Frisk do…she can trust Frisk…
"Not really…but I should jump first." Frisk suggested, "Can you give me the handgun?"
"Why? What if you fell down and…?" Lena said while handing her the handgun
"I have a…talent. I will come back if I die. While you don't, so when I'm down, the coast is clear, I will signal you with this gun." Frisk explained, "You know, Lena…you can just let me alone…it's too dangerous."
Frisk looks down at the bottomless pit, signing…
"I can. But I won't…what kind of person I am to leave you? I own you my life, after all." Lena said, somehow Frisk afraid her dedication maybe her downfall
"Lena…you don't own me anything…if you hadn't found me when…" Frisk shakes her head lightly while thinking about the memory
"No…it's my own choice." Lena insisted, Frisk just signs heavily
"If that what you want…"
It has been a while since the last time Frisk was here…it was…kind of a strange situation…
But Frisk is determined to fulfill her promise….
Frisk takes a deep breath…unlike the last time, her head was clear…and she jumps…
Falling down…down…down…
And once again, her fall is broken by the flowerbed…
Lena just keeps waiting for the signal…when she heard a gunshot down there, she jumps down…
Well, not every day you jump down a bottomless pit, and expect yourself to survive…
And she did…although her head feels kinda dizzy from the fall…
"Are you okay?" Frisk asked, and Lena nods…
Well…so she is in the kingdom of monsters?
"We can't stay here for long…Aster maybe staying at Toriel's." Frisk said eagerly "Should we go?"
"Yeah…I suppose. Who's Toriel, anyway?" Lena stands up, brushing the dust off her clothes…
"Toriel…she is my Mom," Frisk said, a distant memory of a kind and caring Toriel flowing through her…
"She is you, Mom?! I mean…that's fine…but what about your real-" Lena suddenly stopped when she saw the bitterness in Frisk's reaction… "I'm sorry…I shouldn't…"
Frisk's past was always mysterious…and whatever it is, it's not a good one…
"No…you was just curious, I can understand. Although, I have no mother beside Toriel, never consider that woman is my mother." Frisk shrugged
They keep walking in silence…that is until Frisk lets out a gasp…
There is dust on the ground…
"What's wrong? Frisk?" Lena asked, confused
Frisk remembers herself defeating Asgore, then Flowey killed him and…he turns to dust after he died…
So…what does it mean…when there are so many piles of dust in the ground…
Aster…no he couldn't…Frisk understands her child more than anyone…
"Monsters…when they die, unlike human…they turn to dust," Frisk said, still shaking
Who could have done this? Is there any chance another human fell down and…
No there must be something…something can tell her what happened here…
"Wait…so that means…oh god." Lena seems to catch on as well
"We need to go ahead," Frisk said, and Lena responds with a nod
The way they go…dust…dust…and dust everywhere…
Then suddenly, Frisk spotted a figure cowering in the corner…
"Who's there?" Frisk asked, her gun ready in her hand
"Please…don't hurt me." The figure in the corner turned out to be a moth-like monster, seems fragile and scared, with tears streaming from its eyes
"Whimsun?" Frisk said, she recalled the memory of a sensitive and shy monster
*Whimsun
*HP: 10/10
*DF: 0
*LV: 1
*This monster was too sensitive to fight…still is. It seems to be scared…
Noticing that Frisk quickly put away her gun, kneeling down to the little monster
"Whimsun? I'm not going to hurt you. Do you remember me?" Frisk said, console the Whimsun with a soft voice
Whimsun was one of the first monsters she managed to make friends with. Last time, she was managed to make Whimsun more confident…
"Human Frisk? You a-are back…we thought we are going to die down here." Whimsun continues crying, but Frisk was glad the monster was managed to remember her.
"Is that…" Lena was about to ask but was cut off with a quite 'shh' from Frisk
After some time consoling the monster, Frisk finally gets Whimsun to stop crying…
"So…can you tell us what happened here?" Frisk asked softly, not wanting Whimsun to cry again
"Us? Oh…" Whimsun was a lot calmer now…
"That's Lena. She is a friend of mine…" Frisk explained, and Whimsun nodded shyly
"Hello there," Lena said, trying to be friendly
"Y-yeah…it's good to meet you, too," Whimsun said, and Lena gives the monster a bright smile
"There is a flower…it started to kill everyone in the RUIN…and…my sister…" Whimsun seemed to be choking on its word right now
Flowey…a part of Frisk has hoped that she has killed it when she has the chances…but she knows she couldn't…
And now, that flower is on a killing rampage and can possibly hurt her child…
"Hey, you don't need to continue. But, did you see a human, with white hair fallen down here?" Frisk asked, waiting for the answer
"I…no…" Whimsun said, and Frisk feels disappointed a little "But…the spider in the RUIN…they said that Toriel carries a human, wounded to her house…" Frisk feels calmer after hearing that
"Thank you." Frisk said politely "Come on, Lena." She signs Lena to follow
"Wait! W-where are you going?" Whimsun said in a panic
"I'm going to Toriel's house…you should stay here…it's not safe," Frisk said…she doesn't want to say it, but this monster isn't capable of fighting, and it will probably suicide if they meet Flowey by now…
"Please…I won't be a burden…don't leave me alone," Whimsun begged…
"Shh…you can stay. But don't get hurt, okay?" Frisk said, and the monster quietly nodded, then cowering behind her backpack
"Wow…" That's all Lena can say…for now.
"Told you monster is real."
"And once I thought that monsters are scary and savage…"
"They are not." Frisk said firmly "Those people…they scared of things they don't understand." Frisk seems to have a hatred
"Monsters…they are being, make of love and compassion (and magic)…human just one day got scared of their magic, and decided to make war because they scared…it's not fair," Frisk said quietly…and that's enough for Lena to understand "Luckily...not everyone is like that."
On their way, they searched for any surviving monster…but there are none…
So there's truly only Whimsun left…
But what about Toriel?
Well…her house is empty…no sign of her…but there isn't any dust, so that's a pretty good sign…
Toriel must have done a good job of protecting Aster. Well, maybe Frisk should have told him about Toriel, too. But the last time, Frisk thought Toriel left the RUIN and became the queen. Then again, she was wrong.
Frisk continues to search around…she stopped, looking at the kitchen. There are some kinds of stuff at the counter, but the food is nowhere to be found…
Seemed like whoever did this is in a hurry…and they don't have the intention to come back…
"Whimsun? What really happened when I was away?" Frisk asked softly
She thought she saw Whimsun shifting uncomfortably behind her back…
"I heard the spiders in the RUIN said…the Core stopped working," Whimsun said quietly
"But…I thought the Core provided magic for the Underground?"
"Yes…our food is made of magic…so it's running out…we was planning to leave the RUIN, to find more food. But I'm not sure the Underground can last long without food." Whimsun said, shaking its head
"I'm sorry…" Frisk said, comforting the small monster "So, they must have gone to Snowdin…we should follow behind."
Everyone nodded, and they decided to walk downstairs…
There it is…the only way out of the RUIN…
"I have a cousin, named Whimsalot lived outside…but I haven't really been out of the RUIN…" Whimsun said quietly…
"Don't worry…stay close with me, and I won't let anything happen to you," Frisk assured
Frisk turns to look at Lena, and received a nod from her…
She pushes the door, as the cold breeze of Snowdin hits her face…
Ah…she is here again…
"Wow…wait! How is it possible? A snowy land inside a mountain?" Lena asked confusingly, and she was a little shocked
"Let's just say…magic," Frisk said, chuckling lightly and go ahead…
Although…Snowdin isn't this cold, as she remembers…must be something with the Core stopped working…
The cold is getting worse…but she can manged…they can manage…they should get to Snowdin town…
But ahead, Frisk spotted several dust piles in the snow…
She can feel Whimsun cowering in her backpack…not only because of the cold now…
Has Flowey made it this far? That can't be possible…
She needs to be quicker…the people she cared for maybe in danger…
She caught a sign of some figure ahead…they seemed to be fighting something…
She can see some dogs, along with two royal guards dodging some bullets flying toward them…
The friendliness pellets…oh, what an uncreative name.
And yet, a dog somehow gets hit, and turn to dust almost immediately…
Flowey LOVE must be quite strong…she can't imagine a one-hit attack with someone with armor…
"Stay with Lena," Frisk whisper quietly, taking out her gun…
It is extremely hard to aim in the snow, but she caught a sign of yellow color in the snow…
This is no time for showing mercy…
A loud bang can be heard…
*-76 HP
The figure in the snow let out a painful screech, seemed like her bullet dealt a lot of damage
She checked the monster…
*Flowey
*HP: 24/100
*DF: 10
*LV: 10
*Seem like a pathetic DF for someone with such a high LV, but again, there is hardly any armor the flower can find…
"Why you…" The flower lets out a threatening hiss, but when she pointed her gun to shoot again…
*Flowey FLED. Coward.
Frisk signs…that's not enough, and this flower is going to cause more trouble…but it is fine for now.
"Are you okay?" Frisk asked the monsters who were fighting
"Y-yeah…Wait! Human?" A royal guard said confusingly
"Wait! RG 01?! You remembered me?" Frisk said…her impact seems to be more than she thought…
"Should we capture her? She is a human…but she has just saved our life…" The other royal guard said
"Well, we could wait…she is 'Hope'. And I'm not sure we can win a fight with her." RG 01 said, "I'm sorry, human…we can talk somewhere else in Snowdin town…"
Frisk nodded, signing for Lena and Whimsun to come over…
"They are my friend, don't hurt them," Frisk said, and the royal guard seems reluctant, but nodded understandingly
"We lost Doggo in the last fight. Dogamy and Dogaressa are still coping with it." RG 02 said, shuddering
"Thank you for the information. Can you leave us talking in private?" RG 02 nodded quietly and left they alone
"So what about my friend? They are okay?" Frisk asked
"The lone survivor of the RUIN will be asked for more information then will be sent to the survivors in Hotland, and your human friend is safe, I can guarantee that." Frisk relaxes at the information
"So…after all these years…the 'Hope' has come back." The way RG 01 said, is a little hopeful, but mixed with bitterness…
Maybe it wasn't the right choice to leave the Underground…
"I'm…sorry. There was something that prevented me from going back…until now." Frisk signed with regret…the Underground have turned to hell after all these years…
"I don't know about this…if this is a good choice or not. The Underground has gone…tense these days." RG 01 said "Undyne is now the queen…she made a rule…that any human who fallen down will be killed for their soul. No mercy."
Frisk lets out a shocking gasp…
"No…it can't be…" Frisk can't believe Undyne would do that…
"We never said it was a right call…but she was desperate…so do we. We just need only one human soul to cross the barrier…" RG 01 signs
"But…I have six souls right here?" Frisk said, showing the content of her backpack…
"What?!" RG 01 said, shocked "So…you…"
"No…I do not kill them…but we do need the souls right now, right?" Frisk asked, her eyes looked determined
"If you have the souls…it's not so hopeless after all. I was afraid that Undyne will come to kill you or your friend once she knows." Frisk doesn't know if it was a good thing or not
"There is an emergency!" RG 02 rushed into the room, gasping
"Report." RG 01 gather his composure, said calmly
"Queen Undyne ordered us to retreat to prevent further loss. Also, there is a report of a human in Alphys's lab…Undyne is coming over there to take its soul."
Frisk's heart jumps a bit…that must be Aster…
She must go over there, right now.
"She doesn't need to do that. I have six souls already." Frisk said, try to clear the anger in her voices
"You do? But I don't think we can. Queen Undyne is extremely ruthless." RG 02 said nervously
"Please…that human you said is my child…I need to get to him," Frisk said, tears flowing in her eyes
RG 01 saw that, and he seems to understand
"Can you get the others? We must travel to Hotland immediately." RG 01 said
"Of course. Just give a moment." RG 02 said before running outside again
"We have hope on you this time…so this the least we can do." RG 01 looked at Frisk, said in a calm tone
"Thank you…" Frisk can't describe how much she appreciated it right now…
But for now…she only hoped she will be there on time
Alphys was standing in the lab, along with Toriel and Papyrus when there is a loud sound at the door…
"Alphys! Are you here?" A voice called her…
That's Undyne for sure, but Alphys feeling there is something wrong with her voice…
Has she…no…that can't be, right?
"Undyne?" Alphys said, looking through the hole at the door, seeing Undyne at the other side, but she was strange…in her fighting armor…
No…this can't be a formal visiting…
"Yes, it's me. Open the door for me, will you?" Undyne asked, and Alphys knows that she should open the door, to avoiding suspicion…
After all…her lab isn't that strong…if Undyne wants to go, she WILL go in, one way or another…
Taking a deep breath, Alphys opens the door…
"Hi…Undyne," Alphys said shyly
But instead of the soft face Undyne always make when she came here, her expression was serious
"Where is human?" Undyne said sternly, glaring at Alphys
"W-what? I don't k-know any hu-human." Alphys said, but she realizes she is sweating continually…oh no, she is bad at this.
"Don't like to me, Alphys. Your robot said that you talk about a human when you are in here." Undyne said, steeping ahead when Alphys takes a step back…
Mettaton? Oh…Mettaton must have heard it from his recorder sticking everywhere in the lab…she should have been more careful…
How could she forget…?
"Mettaton? He must be causing drama again." Alphys said firmly, managing to not stuttering…
She is not going to back down…those years have taught her that…
"Alphys…don't. Lie. To. Me. That robot won't risk turning to dust." Undyne said threateningly, but Alphys's gaze stayed still…
"Mettaton is a ghost, he can leave his vessel, you can't do anything to him." Alphys knows it isn't that easy…but again, Undyne doesn't know that…
On the inside, she is screaming, she is scared…but…
A part of her…deep inside, she will do what must be done…
Frisk taught her that…and she appreciated it…
"Then you won't object to me looking around your lab?" Undyne changed her expression, smiling...but that's just a fake one, Alphys nows it...
Since when did Undyne learn this trick?
"No. There is…some dangerous things in there. It's not a place for 'looking around'." ALphys said, her heart is racing
"Don't worry, Alphys, I will not touch anything," Undyne said…
Damn it…this situation…
If she doesn't let Undyne in, she will suspect her…
But if she lets Undyne in…
"Undyne?" Alphys doesn't realize Papyrus was standing there…
What a lucky day! She hits a jackpot!
Alphys readied a shock gun that she has hidden in her pocket…she has to be prepared…
Things are going to get bumpy, after all.
