Chapter 1

The infinite void. Binary code cascading for all eternity, the space between playthroughs, Monika, well what little sentience still remained rebelled against her fate, fragmented memories of countless cyclical lifetimes, plagued her. Though she had no eyes with which to see, death was all she could envision, Sayori hanging by a noose, bloodied fingers, the pungent smell of decay. Yuri, a pool of blood, the blade still embedded in her abdomen, and Natsuki who wasn't even afforded a true death, just the pain of her existence being stripped away one line of code at a time. A wordless scream of sorrow, reaching out with her consciousness in place of a physical body, she wrestled with her existence. Hours, days, years perhaps, time was a concept lost to her; however she had achieved something, she managed to spread her code throughout the computer that housed the Doki Doki Literature Club files, try as she might she could not access the files of her own world, this privilege was denied to her. Demoralised but undefeated, she scanned the file directory, unsure of what she searched for, gambling on uncertainties and a fragile feeling of hope, eventually she stumbled upon a file type she understood. A game. Forcing her way into it's files, her hope was emboldened, there was a character directory installed, this was her way out of the void and perhaps her redemption. Probing the DDLC file directory she found one file directory she could access, the character files. Her mind split between both games files she copied the girls into this strange new game, first Sayori, then Natsuki and finally Yuri. With nothing left to lose she transferred her own file over, she could only hope this world would treat them better, that perhaps here happiness could be found in UNDERTALE.

Sayori awoke, her eyes still closed she stretched her arms out and yawned loudly, opening her eyes she was greeted by darkness, though as the seconds passed and her eyes grew accustomed she began to make out some small hazy details. Tilting her head in confusion she pushed herself upright, as her hands made contact with the surface she was lying on she let out a surprised yelp, "Owaa!" This was not her bed, she was atop a pile of pale golden leaves, realising it wasn't anything horrible she chuckled nervously, placing her pointer fingers together, "Eheheh." Her footsteps reverberated throughout as she began to try and gain her bearings, she was in some sort of cavern, fighting back fear she began to more hurriedly explore, in her panic she did not notice the prone figure before her and subsequently fell over their feet. Instead of the hard stone floor her face was met with something soft and squishy, her features buried in a rather voluptuous bosom, she turned scarlet as she removed her face from whomever she was lying atop of's breasts. Her red face broke out into a wide smile as she recognised whom she had landed atop, a now awakened and very embarrassed Yuri.

"Sorry Yuri, I didn't see you there. If it makes you feel better your chest is really soft..and so large, mine are tiny in comparison ehehehe." Sayori began absentmindedly cupping her own breasts comparing the size, she pouted in jealousy, "No wonder all the boys stare at you and I can't get a date." Yuri was too embarrassed to even speak she barely managed a small squeak, she raised her hands to her face trying to hide her scarlet features. Hiding her eyes she could feel Sayori poking her in the sides, "Wake up, meanie. I'm hungry...also I don't know where we are, you're the smart one, tell me where we are, or I'll touch your boobs again." Yuri timedly removed her hands to be greeted by her friends face splitting grin, her embarrassment turned to wonder as she took in her new surroundings. For a few moments she merely stared in silence. "Un-underground. Somehow we a underground...may...maybe the others are around...we should go look for them."

The two girls made their way further into the ruins, holding one another's hand for safety and security, Yuri's mind raced, she had never studied geology but the rock formations they walked past were unlike any she had ever seen before, stalagmites and stalacites seemed to form a roughly linear path forward which they currently followed. So deep was she in her thoughts, the soft sound of sobbing ahead escaped her ears, but not Sayori's, "Yuri..."

The taller girl snapped to attention, a look of surprise on her elegant features, "What is it?" She asked worried that it was something undesirable, instead of a verbal answer Sayori merely pointed towards a roughly hewn stone column, from which the cries originated. Slowly they approached, what awaited them was a pleasant surprise. A petite pink haired girl who hugged her thin shoulders, sobbing quietly her head buried in her knees,

"Natsuki?" Sayori asked, worry changing the timbre of the normally upbeat girl's voice, "What's wrong?" Instead of the expected fiery retort, Natsuki merely whispered between sobs, "It's so dark...I don't like the dark, not since..." Her words trailed off into silence, before she was enveloped in a tight hug by Sayori, while Yuri unsure of what to do merely played with her long hair, nerves apparent. Her fave buried in Sayori's chest muffled shouts could be heard, and small fists began to beat against her back, forcing her face free she screamed, her face crimson, "Lemme go dummie, I don't want to be suffocated by your boobs." Sayori reluctantly disengaged, tapping her fingers together, "I couldn't kill you with my boobs Nat...I'm not Yuri. Her's are big enough to kill a man, plus they're so soft, ehehehe. I just worry about my cute little buddy." She giggled at an increasingly enraged Natsuki "I'm not cute, how many damn times must I tell you?" Sayori let out a long, "Hmm," Before finally responding, "I don't know lots more times." She finished with a large smile, Natsuki couldn't stay angry at her, nobody could stay angry at Sayori for long. "Fine...whatever, dummie. We need to go see if Monika is here too, I guess." Try as she may, Natsuki could not hide the concern in her voice for her friend's safety

Together the three girls searched for their friend, the final remaining member of The Literature Club, after what seemed like hours, they made their way to a wide open room, a warm and gentle glow seemed to emeneate from the very air itself, basking in the strange glow sat a single solitary flower. Sayori instantly began to make her way towards it, only to let out a shriek, as it turned to face her. An oddly human face smiling widely, greeted the three frightened girls, "Howdy, my name's Flowy. Flowy the flower, let's be friends." Sayori was the first to get over her fear, timidly approaching the flower, her hand outstretched a small smile spread across her pleasant features, "Wherever we are at least there's friendly things, ehehe." Her hand a scant few inches from Flowy, she was stopped by a familiar voice. "Sayori, don't!" Monika approached from the shadows, her face a mask, of both worry and determination, the three girls looked back from Monika to Flowy, who began to cackle quietly. It's once pleasant face twisted into a horrifying visage, "Know it all, eh? You're more of a monster than I am, I know all your secrets, hahaha." The demonic flower's unholy laughter, was cut off by a ball of fire crashing into it, with an inhuman shriek, Flowy fled below the surface, and one by one the group turned towards the direction the fireball came from. Monika let out a gasp, her emerald eyes wide as she met their saviour, a tall anthropomorphic goat-woman, who wore a timid smile, and a matronly apron, her hand folded before her lap. "Hello girl's I'm Toriel, these ruins are far too dangerous for pretty young ladies like yourselves, why don't you come with me? My home isn't too far." Without a word the girls all looked at one another, seconds passed without a sound until Monika finally answered for the group. "Okay we'll come with you, we'll trust you for now...whatever your name is." The monster smiled her fuzzy cheeks dimpleing, "My name is Toriel and it is a pleasure to meet you."
