- ArcadeTale: New home Area -
(Chara's Theme [ArcadeTale ver.] plays)
"I wonder what your limits are." ArcadeChara caresses their knife.
TT!Kathy said nothing. She used her Jolteon's powers for this battle. TT!Kathy choose the "Fight" button and uses Thunderbolt. ArcadeChara's corrupted SOUL is brought up and electrocuted. ArcadeChara could not dodge the move. They growled at her after TT!Kathy's attack ended. ArcadeChara uses their knife. They rush towards TT!Kathy in hope to land a hit. TT!Kathy dodges the attack. TT!Kathy quickly pressed the "Fight" button. She uses Quick Attack.
"Just like the comedian. Heh. I know how to beat you now! Your pattern is just like Sans." ArcadeChara said with a mischief look. They smile very creepily. They did their best at dodging the attack.
"I can't wait to have a bad time from you. I can't believe it took me this long to figure out that you are a gender-bent Sans. And to put the icing on top, you are from a different AU." ArcadeChara said and then laughed.
Their crazed laughter echoed in this odd battle.
'What is with this kid? Giving them a bad time? I don't know if I am anything like Sans. I barely met him and the Arcade version of him.' TT!Kathy thought as she is visibly freaked out by the strange human.
"What's your next move?" ArcadeChara anticipates her next attack.
ArcadeChara eagerly awaits for your next attack. TT!Kathy froze. She did not know what to do. She does not know what to choose.
"Well? Aren't you going to push the fight button, Sans?" ArcadeChara asked. She looks delusional.
"No." TT!Kathy stated firmly.
She crosses her arms and sat down on the cold ground.
"What do you mean 'no'?" ArcadeChara sounds angry.
"I am not going to fight you." TT!Kathy softly glares at them.
"Sans... You have to fight me you trash-bag! I killed your brother and everyone you love." ArcadeChara yelled desperately.
They want this fight to continue. TT!Kathy did not know the monsters very well, but is sad that most of them are dead. That is... if they really are dead. She doesn't know why ArcadeChara keeps calling her Sans. Perhaps they fought him at some point in the underground.
"Are the monsters really dead?" TT!Kathy asked from her spot.
ArcadeChara sudden smile creeps out TT!Kathy.
"Are you really that dumb, Sans? Of course I did. How do you think I got such a high LV?" ArcadeChara said as they caresses their knife lovingly.
'Maybe ArcadeSans would want revenge on ArcadeChara after they killed the people he loves. Do I want to find out what is going on? I have seen destruction and its' results. I have see it cause the kindest person turn into something wicked. Like a child, of all things, can still cause so much destruction. In turn, this action can make anyone want to seek revenge or seek other options. Why do I feel like I have done this before?' TT!Kathy got lost in her thoughts.
She ignores the angry child across from her. ArcadeChara is getting impatient.
Meanwhile, outside the battle. ArcadeAhri finally finds TT!Mettaton and TT!Nick. TT!Nick has ArcadeDescorda in handcuffs. She has oven gloves on for some odd reason.
"Hey! We found one of the sisters. Where is Kathy?" TT!Nick questioned rather content.
"She is with Chara." ArcadeAhri said out of breath.
TT!Mettaton gave a look of horror. The name meant something to him, but he did not know if it was the very same person.
"Who is Chara?" TT!Mettaton asked in a brave tone.
"Chara is a demon child who wants to kill everything. We must stop them before it is too late!" ArcadeAhri informed while panicking.
She pulls TT!Mettaton by his arm. TT!Mettaton feared the worst upon hearing that this world has a Chara.
"This way! Quickly!" ArcadeAhri exclaimed.
She pulls him to where TT!Kathy is fighting. TT!Nick and ArcadeDescorda calmly follows them. Upon arrival, ArcadeAhri is practically dying from running so much.
"Kathy is fine. Look!" TT!Nick said with a calm smile. ArcadeDescorda looks at him.
"Seriously? She is not fine. Once Chara gets a chance, they will kill her." ArcadeDescorda hisses.
"So?" TT!Nick said only to her.
His eyes are distant. He shows no emotion what-so-ever. ArcadeDescorda got scared for a minute. She thought he is going to... to.
"How do we save her?" TT!Mettaton sounds a bit hopeless.
His question broke TT!Nick's gaze from ArcadeDescorda.
"We can't. I have no idea how to beat Chara." ArcadeAhri adds more hopeless news.
"It appears that they are not fighting." TT!Nick commented.
"Perhaps it is your friend's turn and she has not yet gone?" ArcadeDescorda suggest as she is careful with her words.
Silence.
"... We have to come up with something! I can't leave Kathy there, even if she is from a different AU." ArcadeAhri said not giving up just yet.
"I can try to use my light cannon. Maybe that will help." TT!Mettaton said. He did not want TT!Kathy to die again.
"It might works. It appears that ArcadeChara's SOUL is corrupted like ArcadeSans' was." TT!Nick pointed out.
"If the freak is right, we just need to get in the fight zone and check out their SOUL." ArcadeAhri gives a plan to the group.
"I shall go." TT!Mettaton said bravely. He went into the fight alone. Fabulous and all.
(Chara's Theme [ArcadeTale ver.] resumes)
"Seriously? You are going to sit there and do nothing! You are lazy!" ArcadeChara rages.
They want to fight. TT!Kathy did not respond.
"AHH!" ArcadeChara pulls their hair out of frustration.
TT!Mettaton came into the zone. He partners up with TT!Kathy.
"Darling! Are you okay?" TT!Mettaton asked as sparkles in his eyes appeared.
"Yeah. Just busy doing absolutely nothing." TT!Kathy said with a faint smile.
She sheepishly tucked in a few loose strands of hair behind her right ear.
'Has his eyes always sparkled?' TT!Kathy thought.
"SANS! JUST GIVE ME A BAD TIME ALREADY!" ArcadeChara shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Sans?" TT!Mettaton tilts his head a bit.
"I can't explain that." TT!Kathy said as she gets up.
"I have a light cannon at the ready. Is their SOUL corrupted?" he asked as his heart skipped a beat.
TT!Kathy fails to notice the closeness between her and him.
"Yep. Fire away." TT!Kathy extends her right arm gesturing him to use the attack.
"With pleasure." TT!Mettaton smiles seductively.
His large beam of light magic pierces though ArcadeChara's SOUL. They scream in agony. The song ends as did the battle.
"Kathy!" ArcadeAhri tackle hugs her best friend.
Correction. Her best friend from another AU.
"I was really worried about you." ArcadeAhri starts to squeeze her.
"I'm okay, Ahri. Everything is fine. Now let me go... so I can breath." TT!Kathy said as she is slowly turning blue.
"Opps! Sorry." ArcadeAhri apologizes as she lets go of TT!Kathy.
ArcadeChara disappeared and ArcadeFrisk reappeared.
"Ugh! What happened? The last thing I remember is... (gasp) Toriel! Papyrus! Undyne! Mettaton! I can't believe it... I went down the genocide route again." ArcadeFrisk scolds themselves at the end.
"It it okay, ArcadeFrisk. TT!Kathy and TT!Mettaton here managed to stop you from reaching the castle." TT!Nick tells them sounding rather optimistic.
"Still... Sans is going to be so mad at me. I Reset upon getting to the surface in the last run." AracadeFrisk said looking devastated.
"We were at the surface?!" ArcadeDescorda sounds and looks surprised. ArcadeFrisk nods sadly.
"I should kill you for getting us back down here again." ArcadeDescorda hiss as they tried to lung at ArcadeFrisk.
TT!Nick prevents her from harming them by blocking ArcadeDescorda's path.
"Maybe there is a way for you to get to the surface without a Reset?" TT!Kathy suggests.
"How?" ArcadeFrisk does not look convinced.
"Perhaps if we can find someone who remembers the Resets." TT!Nick said with a gentle smile.
"Sans remembers as do you." ArcadeFrisk points out.
They have never quite figured out how ArcadeNick remembers. On the other hand, the other monsters sometimes remember the previous timelines through their dreams.
"Okay then. All we have to do is convince our Nick or Sans to help us out." ArcadeAhri said.
Even if she is hesitant about getting his help. He might say no after all the bad blood between them.
ArcadeAhri knows that ArcadeSans can only do so much. They will need back-up to keep ArcadeFrisk in check.
"I need to Reset first." ArcadeFrisk feels confident.
ArcadeFrisk Resets... only to fail completely. Monsters that they killed miraculously come back to life. Plus, their memories of dying by the hands of Frisk/Chara. The group is still standing in the New home area.
"... Is a Reset supposed to do this?" ArcadeDescorda asks sounding unimpressed by the Reset.
"I... I don't understand. I'm supposed to start near the Ruins. I'm suppose to meet Flowey at this point. Something is blocking me from doing a full Reset." ArcadeFrisk panics.
"KID!" ArcadeSans voice could be heard.
He teleports behind them. His eye is glowing angrily. He looks pissed at ArcadeFrisk. They slowly turn around.
"I went to Snowdin and saw dust everywhere. Then all of the sudden, everyone is alive again. But, they have their memories?! Is this some twisted game to you? Making everyone remember what you did?" ArcadeSans questioned as he is beyond anger while grabbing ArcadeFrisk's shirt.
"I-It wasn't a complete Reset! Something blocked me from doing so. You got to believe me." ArcadeFrisk said looking terrified.
"The kid is right ArcadeSans. Kat could be the one blocking you." TT!Nick stated casually.
ArcadeSans drops ArcadeFrisk. He turns his head slowly to her. ArcadeAhri gets close to ArcadeSans in case he tries something.
"What?" ArcadeSans asked in an unpleasant tone.
ArcadeAhri did not know what to say.
"I have the red SOUL. I may not know what it means, but lets just roll with that... In my AU, I recently discovered that I now possess power of Reset. Sans told me that my Determination is stronger than Frisk. ArcadeFrisk, I am really sorry. Anyhow, you are going to have to deal with the consequences of your actions." TT!Kathy said as she timidly puts her foot down.
"You won't Reset. Nothing I can do to change your mind?" ArcadeFrisk asked dreading for the answer.
"No." TT!Kathy meekly says as she took a deep breath afterwords.
She still despises conflict. TT!Mettaton wonders how close he can be near her. He wishes to comfort her. He walks towards her.
"(Sigh) I was afraid you were going to say that." ArcadeFrisk said with a sad tone.
"About time someone gives her a talk like that. Toriel is too nice to give you tough love." ArcadeDescorda comments.
She starts to viewing TT!Kathy as the Toriel of her AU.
"Now what?" TT!Mettaton asks as he takes two inches towards TT!Kathy.
"We go home. Really, there is nothing to do here. The AU rock is saved" TT!Nick said with joy.
He pretended to forget about ArcadeLuminous being on the loose.
"What about Luminous?" ArcadeAhri inquired ArcadeDescorda as she remembers about the other sister.
"She is long gone by now." ArcadeDescorda sneers at her.
"Since she came here, do you think she went to another AU?" TT!Kathy asked the group.
TT!Mettaton took another inch. TT!Kathy softly pushes him back a bit once she noticed how close he is to her. TT!Mettaton pouts softly.
"She would not leave without me." ArcadeDescorda said.
"You sure?" TT!Nick raises an eyebrow.
- ArcadeTale: Hotland -
Some time later, the group went to the lab located in Hotland.
"This portal shall lead you to Luminous. We shall keep an eye on both Frisk and Descorda while you are gone." ArcadeXortex tells the group.
He and ArcadeGaster are keeping ArcadeDescorda in a magic jail cell. It is somewhere in the lab.
"Thanks for letting us use your portal thingy." TT!Kathy said with gratitude.
"Are you sure six will be fine?" ArcadeXortex asked the group.
"Yes, we shall be fine." ArcadeGaster chimes.
ArcadeGaster, ArcadeSans, ArcadeAhri, TT!Mettaton, TT!Nick, and TT!Kathy are going on this trip. The large group prepares themselves for the journey.
"Okay then. This portal shall take you to Luminous. Do be careful." ArcadeXortex said with a concerned look.
"Okay, we won't." TT!Nick jokes.
TT!Kathy chucks at his goofiness. The group jumps in pairs into the portal beneath them. In a blink of an eye the group is gone.
"... (Sigh) I think I worry too much, chicken." ArcadeXortex said to the chicken.
It is the same chicken that TT!Nick left. The chicken suddenly starts to sabotage the portal.
"What are you doing?!" ArcadeXortex asks out of surprise.
He began to chase the chicken. The chicken ran and jumps into the lava. ArcadeXortex could not catch the fast chicken. Watching it die and seeing the feathers reveal a metal body, ArcadeXortex did a mental note of what it did. He went back to the portal. The chicken did not physically damage the portal device. He then checks the log of all AUs they have visited so far.
All of it is there, except for TemTale. The chicken erased the back-up drive and the back-up drives numbers 2-4. That is unrecoverable data. The device can no longer send anyone to TemTale.
- LittleTale: Snowdin area -
"Ugh! Where am I?" TT!Kathy questioned herself as she wakes up. She does not know why she is lying down on something cold.
"You're in Snowdin silly." A small voice pipes up. The voice sounded close.
"Great. I have finally gone crazy." TT!Kathy said as she rubs her eyes.
She rubs her sore shoulders as she sits up straight. Her eyes laid upon probably the most adorable group of monsters she ever saw. Small versions of Papyrus, Sans, Toriel, Undyne, and Alphys.
"Are you our mom?" Little!Undyne asked in the most innocent way.
TT!Kathy feels like she died and gone to cute heaven.
