Barely able to keep your mind focused, you felt a sudden gust of cold air. Looking around, you saw that the lights of the lab were already on and standing in the middle of the area, was Mettaton. There where no tricks...no lights...no theatrics whatsoever. He was just waiting for you.
"Oh, there you are. You ugly little creature. You've made quite a name for yourself."
Ugly...you've never felt those words more true then right at this moment. For he was right.
"If your looking for Alphys. She's not here."
She's...not here?
You could feel a small hope in your soul, even if your body was clenching its fists in anger.
"She was running around evacuating people to safety. Now they're in a place where you'll never get to them."
Alphys...thank you...If only I could tell you how amazing you truly are.
Your body took a step closer
"Oh? How sassy. Your just itching to get your hands on me aren't you? Well...t-o-o b-a-d! This world needs stars more than it needs corpses! Toodles!" Just like that, he left.
Your hands gripped it's weapon for a bit before proceeding to leave the lab. Which much to your dismay, you found that there were still monsters scrambling around. As your body hunted it's way through, you saw that none of Alphys's traps were on. Going through Hotland was easier than you wished it would be. All the while you could sense that your body was trying to search for something. Nearing the end of an alternate path, you saw a green glowing object. But try as you might, you couldn't keep your body from reaching towards it.
You obtained the burnt pan.
You resisted against the sharp ringing sound. For you were afraid, afraid on how long it would cause you to leave your body. Afraid of the things you will do without you knowing. But you couldn't fight it...
"Aweh, dis' place is hot!" The young boy exclaimed as he whiped the sweat from his brow. Taking a long look around his surroundings first, he carefully continued his journey. Until he noticed somone looking a bit lost near by. Unable to resist the urge to give a helping hand, he decided to walk up to the young monster. "Howzit ,my friend? You look blou."
"OH! UH, YES...I MEAN NO...I AM FINE!"
"Is it?" Said the young human, not convinced by the young monster's attempt to hide his worried face.
"NO...YOU ARE RIGHT. I AM NOT DOING WELL. I SORT OF MISPLACED MY BROTHER. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?"
"Your broer'? No, I am sorry. I have not seen another skeleton as yourself. Where was da' last place you have seen him?"
"THE LAST PLACE?" The young skeleton started fiddling around with the pale green fabric of his over sized hospital gown as he tried to recall the last time he saw his brother. "THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS WHEN WE FINALLY ESCAPED ..." The young skeleton started talking about his daring escape and everything he could think of to describe his lost brother,(with great detail) until he was aware of the young boy trying to get his attention. "I'M SORRY! DID I SAY TOO MUCH?"
"Bietjie-baie. But don't worry. I just escaped from a dangerous situation myself." Scratching his head he said, "eish! I must tell you, she enjoys telling long stories as well. I have a feeling you might make great friends with her." Patting the young monster's back he pulled out a small piece of paper. "Look, I have a good feeling dat your broer' is looking for you too. And seeing how you don't have any meat in dos' bones, I have a special recipe dat would make your broer' happy."
"REALLY? WHAT IS IT?"
"Boerie roll and another simple recipe I learned recently in my travels. It was one of the few dings' my brother and sisters used to cook for me. Now look my friend, I am sorry to say dis' but my time is quite short." The young human boy had just spotted a small glance of red hair pass by. "If you want someone to help you find your broer'," pointing towards the direction were his chaser had ran off to, "dere' is somone who loves to help monsters just like yourself."
"THANK YOU!" Giving the lost monster a warm hug, the young boy ran off.
Feeling quiet pleased with himself on the thought that he has not only avoided his captor's grasp but that he had cheered and helped somone in the process. Elated, he had failed to notice the small volcano monster near by.
"eina!" He shouted as he felt a small burning sensation as he collided with said monster. Startling the small volcano, his green soul was pulled out.
"Thunder! Helpful speed up!!!"
"I am sorry, but I highly doubt dat'" Said the young boy as he dodge the waves of thunder.
"Speed will help dodge!!" Trusting the small volcano, he lowered his pan. It was true that the attacks did make him faster, but in returned it had hurt him as well. "Ah! I'll help! Healing magmas!" Not used to dodging (only had to relay on the shield his pan provided) he was unable to escape most of the monster's attack. "You're hurt! I'll help!!!"
"Nonono! Dis okay!!"
"Ahh...Not...helping?" The young boy felt bad as the young monster's face lost it's cheerful smile.
"Look, I'm sorry. You are helping."
"Oh! Ah! I'm helping!" The young boy gave them a warm smile as it started shaking his rump.
"Gee my 'n drukkie." Unfortunately for him, he soon regretted those words. For as soon as he placed his arms around the small monster, his body went up in flames. His screams of pain was masked by the surrounding flames. The fire burned quickly through his clothes and skin. Collapsing onto the floor he saw a slim blue scaled hand reach over to his soul. The hand gently cupped his soul, protecting it from the remaining flames.
"I'm sorry you had to go this way."
You let out a shattered breath as you reappeared back into your body. Looking down into your hands you let out a small gasp. The burnt frying pan was dented beyond recognition as it was covered in dust. Clenching your hand, you felt your stomach give a lurch at the thought of the brutal things you must have done. Trying to regain your composure, you tried to look around. With a heavy heart you saw that you had left Hotland and where currently standing at a dark ally way.
Your body kicked around the trash that laid around as it walked deeper through the ally. Finding a small post, it picked up a small letter.
"If your reading this...
"Then, like, bad news you mega-evil werido!"
"Alphys just came here and she's taking us...
"Someplace super duper safe!" Not bothering to read the rest, your body crushed the letter before tossing it behind you. Throwing away all Catty and Bratty's stuff aside, you could feel a chilly satisfaction crawl throughout your limbs as it felt something between it's fingertips. Noticing the yellow glow, you tried to retract your hand back but you were still too weak. The ringing filled your head, pulling you once more.
You've attained an empty gun.
"I swan, you all musta pissed God off somehow. It's drier than a popcorn fart 'round these parts." Exclaimed the young boy as he continued to run through the heat of Hotland. Ducking, dodging, and hiding his way around, he was able to make it make it near the end of the area. Exhausted from running away from his pursuer, he collapsed onto the ground. Relieved that he made it to the next area where he didn't have to worry about the floor scorching him.
Letting out a breath, he soon heard a small tune. Getting up from the floor, the young boy noticed a small pink ghost peeking through a window at what appeared to be some fancy hotel.
"Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, you're a ghost!?" The small ghost let out a shocked stutter as it floated away from the window.
"Oh my, I didn't see you there."
"Don't you be worrying about that lil darling, I ain't looking for no trouble. Just trying to get home is all."
"Darling..hmm...that sounds quite charming. What type of monster are you 'darling'? I have not seen anyone as peculiar looking as you."
"I'd be lying like a rug if I told you that I was one. Cause I ain't. Not to alarm you or nothin' but I am full blooded human." The young boy said cautiously, awaiting for the ghost to respond.
"Hmm, I see. How unusual to see one down here."
"You ain't going to go after my soul or nothin', right?"
"Ho ho, I wouldn't dare to do something so brash. Don't worry, your identity is safe with me."
"That's mighty nice of you young lady." He said with a flirty smile as he tipped his hat.
"Lady? You are quite mistaken." Taking it in for a second, the young boy scratched his head before shrugging his shoulder.
"To each their own I say. No matter what you are, doesn't make you less of a dear, deary." He said with a wink. The small pink ghost started to wave itself as their face started to turn into a slight shade of red.
"Human, you are quite an intriguing character. Now, if your not in any rush, why don't you rest up and tell me more about yourself."
"Love to, but I'm afraid my pursuer might reach me. And I gotta tell ya, she's meaner than a wet panther."
"Pursuer...oh her! Don't worry about her, she never gets this far. The heat does terrible things to her beautiful scales."
"Well, if you say so. Then I have no trouble in joining you for a spell." The two sat against the wall of the hotel as they started talking about various topics of the world above ground. The pink ghost was so entranced by his stories that they were disappointed when he said that he had to get going.
"Sorry, but as much as it was fun conversing with you. I gotta hurry outta here." As he stood up, the pink ghost noticed a strange object hanging on the side of his pants.
"Oh and what could this be?" Before the ghost could try to touch it, the young boy took a step back.
"Sorry bout' that but I'd rather you not touch that. Was a gift from my old grandad. He manage to modify it quite a bit before he passed on. Told me to stay true to myself as I brought justice to my surroundings."
"Hmm, justice..."
"Yup. Since I'm on my own, I gotta have something protect myself from those who try to bring me harm and to those who wish to harm others."
"Sounds quite dangerous."
"Don't you be worrying there, I ain't gonna use it on ya. Probably won't do ye no harm as ya got no body to shot ye with."
"Is that so...what if I dream to have a wonderfully new body so as I can showcase my star like quality."
"If ya thinking like that, I'd go for a special type of metal body. Now if ya'll wanna be a star, you gotta fight your way to the top. Being a star is messy business. To achieve a dream, sometimes you gotta break some eggs to create the cake you want." Tipping his hat towards the ghost, he ran through the hotel.
Reaching the end, he stepped towards the Core. But as soon as his foot took its first step, he felt his whole body give off a strange chill.
"Something smells bad enough to knock a dog off a gut wagon." He whispered as he continued to walk forward. Hearing to the sound of his footsteps echo through the metal hall, he failed to notice a strange appearance looming behind him. Seeing the shadow, he quickly turned around.
But he was too late to escape as a magician like monster pulled out his yellow soul. Pulling out his gun, he gave them a warning to leave. Not heading to his request, it began sending strange magic that he was able to barely sidestep out of the way. When it was his turn, he felt a strange sensation overcome his mind. The sound of various whisper started to echo through his ear. Trying to shake it off, he glanced towards his opponent through blurry eyes.
Whatever the monster was, it caused him to become quite disoriented.
"Mommy?! Where are you!?!
"Please! Have you seen my kid! He was just hear but..."
"WAHAAAA! I want my daddy!!!!"
Voices after voices started to pile against one another. Unable to fight, he took his chance and ran back towards Hotland. In all his confusion, he was unaware that he was back at Waterfall. Standing before an abyss, his eyes was filled with fear as the voices left him. Fear and guilt rang throughout his whole as he soon realized that those voices belonged to all the family members he has killed.
"But...but...I didnt...I didn't want to." Flashes of his encounters passed through his eyes. "They...they were after me! What was I supposed to do?!" Feeling the weight of his gun, he clutched it with both of his hands as he gazed at it. "No...there was no justice for what I have done." Opening the barrel he saw only 1 remain out of the 12 he had.
Stifling his tears, he held on tighter to his weapon. " 10...I destroyed the lives of 10 families..." he said through gritted teeth. Instead of the cold steel of his weapon he felt it'swarmth. Which gave him an unsettling feeling. "...and I ruined the life of somone who was trying to protect those around her...how...how...could..." Realization dawn on him as he stared into the abyss.
Placing the gun to the side of his head, with tears streaming down his face, he pulled the trigger. The blast was so loud that it alerted a monster who was tending to her wound. Rushing forward, she tried to grab a hold of him. But was only able to catch his floating soul before it too fell down the watery abyss.
Your head started pounding against your skull as you regained your senses. You could feel your soul was pulled out. Trying to back away from the current situation you felt something in your hand. Lurching forward a bit, you could feel the weight of the gun in your hand. Blinking through your foggy vision, you noticed the many lights blaring around you.
"G...Guess she should have worked more on the defenses..." You let out a small gasp as you heard the voice of who had spoken. "I know. I can tell from that strike, darling. You were holding back."
Mettaton!!?
"Yes, Asgore will fall easily to you...but you won't harm humanity, will you?"
No...no...what...what did...I'm...I'm ...s...sorry..
"You aren't absolutely evil. If you were trying to be. Then you messed up. And so late into the show, too."
I...I tried...I really did...I never ment...
You tried to take a step forward but failed as your body refused to budge.
"Ha...ha. At least now, I can rest easy. Knowing Alphys and the humans will live on...!"
His body gave off a blaring light before you fell to your knees.
