After that night, Undyne just felt in the best way- miserable. She didn't know how important her dying and the day starting over were. She really just felt purposeless, like when did this start for her? What was her past before this? She really couldn't know. To make things worse, they continued walking for several hours and kept noticing signs of the Enclave still following them. She remembered taking out one and ripping its wings off, but she really didn't know that much about them and all this just made her anxiety even worse.
Right now, she was sitting next to Sans because he had asked her to talk in private.
"So, what's the problem my dear boyfriend?"
"Well, just… I've been having these… dreams."
"Like what kind of dreams?"
"Well, they're mostly of myself. They seem familiar but let's just say I don't remember killing you."
"Wait..what?!" she bursted out.
"Just, it's um, well, I mostly remember seeing myself killing monsters, ponies, and then there's the part where I killed you. I remember my other self saying something along the lines 'of the many times I've died, I've been wondering if I was the killer and how it would fix things.'"
As soon as Sans uttered those words bells started ringing in Undyne's head. "No, it couldn't be. He couldn't possibly be the killer," She didn't know what to think. He had a reason for it. She just didn't know, it was utterly indescribable. As soon as Undyne was about to ask Sans something, a familiar bug-like robot busted in.
"Well, hello again, Undyne! This time I'm here to actually ask for help." The robot said with enthusiasm.
"Ok then, then what do you need help with?"
Then it fluttered in on Undyne's shoulder. "What I need help with, is that as soon as you reach Tent Pony you will meet a certain band of friends I've made. One is a stable pony in a blue jumpsuit that reads "2" on it, as for her race, she's a unicorn. Of course she has her friends, but I'll give you one of the friends' names. One is called Calamity. He is a brown Pegasus and a Dashite. You can easily recognize him from his cowboy hat."
"Ok, ok, just tell me why this is important"
The robot continued, "You'll see as soon as you arrive to Tent Pony, let's just say they are very well known in the Wasteland." Then the bug flew off, as the mysterious hacker named Watcher disconnected from it.
As they got closer to Tent Pony they experienced more monsters and raiders. The raiders themselves weren't as tough, because they easily surrendered as they didn't want to mess with government authorities. On the other hand, the wildlife, such as the chimeras and the Ursa Minor, which itself was a gigantic bear whose skin resembled stars. Those things were tough to fight. The chimeras you had to grab by the tail and rip the scorpion tail off and inject poison into the beast. The bear thing was a no-go for them. Since it was so big, they had to run away immediately.
Along with the creatures changing, the Wasteland also changed. There was more dead trees and radioactive waters than usual. It began to look more like a swampland as they got close to Manehattan, which was the closest city to Tent Pony. The city itself was filled with crumbling ruins of skyscrapers. The buildings were filled with creatures. Giant bats flew around and the sky was cloudy as usual. Near the center were railroaded with a large towering hotel whose sign read "Tent Pony". The building looked like a high-upper-class hotel with a large 19th-century style. It looked like a place for the elite. As Undyne and the group walked towards the gates, the guards didn't seem to recognize them.
"Hold it. Who goes there and why do you want to enter?"
"We're the free leaders from the government of the Underground Republic."
"Eh, don't believe you. Show us at least one piece of evidence that you are who you say." They stopped as Sans appeared. "Nevermind, you guys can come through."
As they walked in through the entry door they saw large murals of Twilight plastered over the bricks. After the guards let them through the building Undyne saw the full scale of the inside. It resembled a luxurious mall, there were ponies in fine outfits and multiple stores were open and the ceiling itself stretched all the way to the top of the building. Undyne had never seen a mall before, neither had Sans or Alphys. So they walked around and explored. They even tried out the food, it was really only edible to ponies though since it was purely hay. Alphys went shopping to buy some clothes, which didn't fit the human or monster anatomy that well. As all of them were doing these things, Sans bumped into a black unicorn with white and orange striped hair.
"Oh, sorry, my dear, I didn't meant to stumble into. My my..oh I've never seen a ghoul like you before. Why do you look like a monkey?"
Sans felt offended, but just ignored it.
"Oh, wait a minute, are you that skeleton I heard about. Oh my, oh my." as the unicorn was talking another unicorn, one who matched what Watcher had given Undyne, a gray unicorn with a jumpsuit that read "2".
"Oh, yeah, we've actually been looking for you guys. You know, since a little bug friend told us about you. We don't know why, but he told us." The gray unicorn hoof palmed herself then looked at him. "Oh, Watcher, why do we have to get involved with politics?"
Sans could tell that the gray unicorn was of course talking to herself, to state the obvious. Undyne said, "Wait, you know him?!"
"Yeah, and plus don't you have somewhere to be? Like with DJ Pony?"
"Oh, yeah, we do." Then they reconvened and headed upstairs via escalator as two finely dressed ponies guided them to a nice salon next to, supposedly, the radio studio. the salon was nice, all 2 of them enjoyed it, they really liked being bathed. And after a bit, a unicorn mare with a steel gry coat and a dark blue mane lead them to the radio studio. Inside the studio were lots of TVs and a singer's mic. The pony with a dark blue mane turned the mic on and used some form of magic on it, "Good morning wasteland! It is I, DJ pony, and today we got some very special guests, first meet the 2 leaders of the Underground Republic: Sans and Undyne!" There was silence but if there were an audience they would be clapping. "Next, meet someone you'll all know very well our wasteland hero!" Then out from behind them came the grey coated pony from before.
They couldn't believe this. They were seeing the wasteland heroine in person. "So, the first question of the day for the Underground Republic is how do you plan on helping Equestria?"
Sans thought for a moment then he answered, "Well, the first part of our plan is to get rid of the raiders and try to lower the crime rate. The second part of our plan is to modernize the towns and cities of the wasteland, basically try to turn the less suitable housing units into to nicer ones. And the third part of our plan is economic reform."
"Ok then, for the heroine. How do you feel about the UR gaining support?"
"To be honest i really don't know what to think about them, but let's just say I'm not on their side, I'm just staying neutral," the stable pony replied.
Sans nor Undyne were excepting to hear a yes from her but then again they were basically taking her homeland.
"Nice answer you got there, now back to the UR. What do you think of this place so far?" she asked.
"Well, pretty good, just its kinda unfamiliar with us." Undyne answered.
After many questions later they were done. For the most part, the questions were basic like "how long have the three of you been together" and "whats home like". Then there were the questions for the hero. Some were like "so what do you think of the sandune republic." and, "do you trust the UR" and her answers were true to her neutral standpoint. She didn't trust the ur or SDR. She was truly neutral.
"Hey DJ or-"
"Homage," the DJ interpreted undyne.
"Ok… what's the stable pony's name and how were you able to change your voice," Undyne asked
"Oh, I just used a voice changing spell, and before you ask I did use the voice spell on her to keep her anonymous." "ok what's your relationship with her?" Undyne asks.
"Oh,, we're closer than you think," the DJ smirked.
"Like, how close" Undyne asked.
"Like mare on mare type of close," she smirked even wider.
Undyne looked flustered as she got a visable image that she didn't want to see.
"So, do you know anything about her?" Undyne asked again.
"Oh, I'm not telling anything about her, she may not like people telling of her backstory. Or you can ask her in pony."
"Do you mean in person?"
"Yeah however you say it."
Then, Undyne walked off to search for that living legend she saw in person.
