- TemTale: Ruins -
TT!Mettaton and TT!Kathy reached the end of the land by hallway. A large door with strange symbols were on it. There is a black circle. The circle has these sharp wings to the left and right of it. Under the circle, there were three black triangles. Two were facing towards the circle, while the third faced away.
"What is that?" TT!Kathy asked. She pointed at the symbols.
"Those are the symbols of the royals. We, monsters, are lead by the Dreemurrs. As head of the royal guard, it is my duty to protect the royalty." TT!Mettaton said in a rather dramatic way.
TT!Kathy slightly ignored the robot. She approached the large door.
"Wait!" TT!Mettaton cried as he quickly blocked the door.
"Hey!" TT!Kathy exclaimed out of frustration. She backed away from the strange robot.
"I'm sorry my dear. I can't let you go. If I do... they, the Dreemurrs, will capture you. And then they will steal your beautiful SOUL to cross the barrier." TT!Mettaton said sounding sad yet overly dramatic.
"Look... you agreed to help me find Temmie. At the moment that is my goal." TT!Kathy said in a bitter calm tone.
"What will you do then once you find Temmie?" TT!Mettaton asked in a concerned tone. TT!Kathy took a deep breath to completely calm herself down.
"One step at a time." TT!Kathy answered. TT!Mettaton stared at her. He seemed to have liked the answer.
"Well... let me put some guards here. I promised to take you to Temmie after all." TT!Mettaton finally said. He opened the door. TT!Mettaton left four guards at the Ruins before catching up with TT!Kathy.
- Snowdin Area -
They are traveling to Snowdin Town according to TT!Mettaton. TT!Kathy looked at the area around them. The ground that they are walking on might be soap. A few clusters of soap keeps attaching itself to TT!Kathy's legs. The trees and vegetation in the area are covered by soap as well.
"Why is there a lot of soap?" TT!Kathy asked. She is a tad bewildered that there is soap everywhere.
"It must be Sans. He is a magician. I heard he was coming up with a new trick." TT!Mettaton answered giving a loving look to TT!Kathy.
"I'm guessing it involves soap. This must be the place where he practices his tricks, right?" TT!Kathy questioned.
She noticed the pink heart on his screen. TT!Kathy started getting nervous and irritated.
"Yes. This must be a part of his new magic trick." TT!Mettaton said eyeing TT!Kathy as if she is an angel.
The duo came to a short bridge. There seemed to be a cage next to its' entrance.
"Why is there a cage here?" TT!Kathy asked as she inspected the wooden cage. It is well made, but you can easily break out of it. TT!Mettaton is the first to cross the bridge.
"It's probably Papyrus's creation. Come my love! We have to find Temmie." TT!Mettaton said waving his right hand.
TT!Kathy is about to cross it when a skeleton fell from the sky. At the last second, the skeletons used their magic to levitate off the ground. They gently landed on their feet.
"FRISK! Why the world did you do that?!" the skeleton asked madly. It sounded male.
He has a navy blue hat, a black cape that is red on the inside, a gray shirt with blue fluffs, a black short with a single white stripe, blue shoes, and is wearing a necklace that had a golden ring attached to it. His white eyes looked calm for someone who fell.
"Sorry Sans!" yelled a voice. The voice seemed to be distant.
"Honestly... that kid can be a hand-full some times." TT!Sans grumbled. He dusted off the soap and dirt he got on himself. TT!Kathy walked up to him.
"Are you okay?" TT!Kathy asked sounding concerned.
TT!Sans turns to TT!Kathy.
"I'll be fine. You are a human, correct?" the skeleton asked.
"Yes." TT!Kathy responded. She thought that is a strange question to ask.
"Great. My name is Sans. Sans the skeleton. My brother and I are looking for humans. I have no desire to capture humans. But my brother, Papyrus, is a human-hunter fanatic." TT!Sans explained.
TT!Kathy only blinked.
"That must be him over there." TT!Sans said as he crossed the bridge. TT!Kathy crossed after TT!Sans. The trio waited patiently.
TT!Papyrus appeared. He is wearing a red and yellow cap, a short gray scarf, a light blue chef's outfit, red gloves with a golden lace, light gray pants, and red with yellow shoes.
"Sans! You lazy-bones! You are supposed to be looking for humans!" TT!Papyrus yelled.
His broad shoulders made TT!Kathy think that TT!Papyrus could rip out of the outfit at any moment.
"There is a human right here." TT!Sans casually points at TT!Kathy.
"Oh... Really? That is fantastic! Human, you better prepare yourself for some special meals and puzzles! I, Chef Papyrus, cooked them to perfection!" TT!Papyrus yelled passionately.
He seemed rather enthusiastic. TT!Papyrus then left as quick as he had appeared. TT!Kathy is quiet. She is a bit slow in processing what just happened.
"My dear! You can't go do the puzzles. We have to find Temmie, remember?" TT!Mettaton pointed out.
TT!Mettaton put his hands together which made him look like he was begging. TT!Kathy did not seem to hear him.
"Listen, human. I need you to keep pretending for my bro. You see... he has never caught a human before. It would mean a great deal if you were to play along." TT!Sans said getting TT!Kathy's attention.
TT!Kathy has two choices. Go find TT!Temmie with a robot that loves her or do puzzles with TT!Papyrus.
"I think I'll take my chances and do the puzzles. Mettaton, why don't you wait for me at a town or something?" TT!Kathy said to the robot.
"... Very well then. I will wait for you in Snowdin Town. Be careful my darling." TT!Mettaton said dramatically before leaving.
TT!Kathy took a deep breath. She thought for sure she would lose her temper. Now, reality has sunk in. She has to do the puzzles and eat meals that Papyrus has prepared for her. TT!Kathy mental prepared herself for the puzzles.
"Darling? Did Mettaton fell in love with you or something?" TT!Sans asked TT!Kathy. He snapped her out of her daydreaming state.
"I don't know." TT!Kathy said honesty.
"My brother is harmless and I'll keep an eye-socket out for you." TT!Sans reassured TT!Kathy.
"Thanks." TT!Kathy said with a forced smile.
She left the area. TT!Sans watched TT!Kathy as she walked away. He made a mental note
TT!Kathy passed though a good portion of Snowdin Area. She made it to an open area. It is not as soapy as the other portions.
"Human!" TT!Papyrus shouts to get her attention.
He and TT!Sans are waiting on the other side.
"Let's see if you can pass the first puzzle." TT!Papyrus said with a confident grin.
He seemed confident that TT!Kathy is not going to pass the puzzle. TT!Kathy looked around. There is nothing.
"This is an invisible maze. If you touch the sides of this maze, then you will be sprayed with spaghetti sauce. Nyeh heh heh." TT!Papyrus explained.
His laugh is something TT!Kathy has never heard before. TT!Kathy walked forwards without a second thought. She swings both of her arms in front of her.
"... What are you doing?" TT!Papyrus asked raising an eyebrow.
"I am going though the maze. Since I can't see it, I need to feel it." TT!Kathy answered as she continued swinging her arms. TT!Kathy made it to the end of the maze by walking in a straight line.
"But... I needed to give you this orb. It would have released the sauce if you touched the walls. No matter! The next puzzle will surly stomp you. Then! I will be popular once I capture you! Nyeh heh heh!" TT!Papyrus laughs. He did not seem discouraged.
He threw away the orb. He left swiftly to attend the other puzzles.
"Wow... I never seen a human do that before. You are pretty smart for a human. Keep it up." TT!Sans said with a smile and a wink. He then left. TT!Kathy's thoughts seem to disagree with TT!Sans statement.
TT!Kathy begins to wonder if she made the right choice. Then, she remembers TT!Mettaton.
'I made the right choice by avoiding that odd bot.' TT!Kathy thought to herself.
TT!Kathy continues her journey. She came across a "meatball". It is really a snowball that smells like one. TT!Kathy rolls it after she finds a sign on what to do. It is probably the only thing made up of snow in this area. TT!Kathy rolled it to a hole. A gate unlocked. TT!Katy entered the next area. There, TT!Papyrus and TT!Sans are waiting for her. TT!Kathy notices a paper that is on the ground.
"Human! This is Sans's puzzle! Prepare to be defeated and captured! Nyeh heh heh!" TT!Papyrus said with a haughty laugh. He also struck a pose.
TT!Kathy went over to the paper. She bent down to pick it up. It is a Sudoku. Upon inspection, someone started on it. All TT!Kathy needs to do is fill in the last three spots.
"I don't have a pencil." TT!Kathy said putting the paper back on the ground. It sadden her a bit. She likes Sudokus.
"Sans... You did not provide this human with a pencil. You lazy-bones! You are always working on your magic and forget a simple pencil?!" TT!Papyrus asked enraged. His googly eyes popped out from his eye sockets.
"Sorry bro. I get your point." TT!Sans said with a wide grin.
His witty joke caused TT!Papyrus gave out an angry cry as he flipped the nearest rock. His actions caused TT!Kathy to giggle. She placed her hand over her mouth. TT!Kathy did not want the brothers see her smile for fear of appearing rude.
"No matter! Next up is a spicy surprise by me! You should be shaking in you shoes, human! I will capture you." TT!Papyrus said looking very determined. He calmed down rather quickly. He left in a rush to set up the next puzzle.
"I told you he was harmless." TT!Sans said once TT!Kathy stopped chucking. He made another mental note to himself. TT!Kathy walks over to him.
"I am glad I chose to do his puzzles." TT!Kathy claimed with a content look.
"I better go. I hear Paps yelling my name." TT!Sans said as he left. Perhaps there is hope.
TT!Kathy continued to the next area. She made it to a Save Point. The yellow sparking diamond is odd. Why is there be a Save Point here? The last time she saw one was on that dreaded island.
She rested on a tree stump as she let her mind wonder. TT!Kathy recalls how she mostly fought her way up to this point. The enemies have fainted or TT!Kathy ran away from them. It has been a small roller-coaster. TT!Kathy decided to continue. She found herself at TT!Papyrus's first puzzle. It is shaped like a tic-tack-toe. There are blue "X's" on the ground. TT!Papyrus is just standing there all alone. Strange.
"Human! You made it. I see that you have not given up. You will soon! Now... Frisk and I always play this game. I modified it to make it more challenging. Nyeh heh heh!" TT!Papyrus boasted upon TT!Kathy walking closer to him.
TT!Kathy looked at the puzzle. She looked for any sign of signs. TT!Kathy went around the puzzle. She looked to be stumped which made TT!Papyrus rather impatient. TT!Kathy did not notice TT!Papyrus tapping his foot. Seeing a possible solution, she started at the top. TT!Kathy walked across left to right then right to left and finay left to right. TT!Kathy noticed that the "X's" became red "O's".
"You solved the puzzle. Impressive! You must have good puzzle skills. To the next puzzle!" TT!Papyrus said with joy.
He then grabbed TT!Kathy by the hand out of nowhere. He pulled her to the next area. TT!Kathy did not know how to react to being pulled like a small child. It is hard keeping up with TT!Papyrus's long strides.
"Here we are! This puzzle is in the shape of my face. I dare you to complete it." TT!Papyrus said with a "winning" smile.
TT!Kathy almost bumped into TT!Papyrus when he stooped. He released TT!Kathy from his strong grip. TT!Kathy stared at the puzzle as she massaged her hand. In her head, she is making up a solution. She did not notice TT!Papyrus looking at her with a sadden look.
"Forgive me human for being a bit pushy. I did not mean to harm or scare you. I often forget that my appearance may seem... unorthodox. But, you have nothing to fear, human! I am a kind monster. Even if I have to bring you to the Dreemurrs. " TT!Papyrus apologized as he explained his situation.
TT!Kathy looked up to meet an apologetic TT!Papyrus. He seemed to mean it.
"It's okay." TT!Kathy said in a gentle tone.
She finally left TT!Paprus's side to solve his puzzle. It did take her a longer to solve this than the easier puzzle from before. She does not know why she pretended to be stumped before. Upon completing it, TT!Kathy noticed that TT!Papyrus left the area. She mentally sighed as she went to the next puzzle. TT!Kathy crossed yet another wooden bridge. At the end, there is a gray scaled dance floor.
"Human!" TT!Papyrus shouted from the other side of the floor.
He is not alone. TT!Sans is near him. TT!Papyrus walks over to a machine. It is probably the energy source of the puzzle.
"You passed with flying colors! My new recipe for capture shall be complex. It will have a dash of salt, a pinch of pepper, a teaspoon of honey, and a cup of awesomeness! You have to pass though this next puzzle. But be warned, human! Each tile is a certain color. I shall not explain what each does. I want the kitchen to steaming hot and give you no glimmer of hope that you can beat this puzzle." TT!Papyrus explained with enthusiasm.
"What?" TT!Kathy tried to understand what he just said.
He is about to turn on the puzzle when TT!Nick and TT!Gaster fell from the sky. TT!Nick used his power to levitate at the last minute. It is not enough. The duo still crash on top of the machine.
"Ow." TT!Nick said pushing TT!Gaster off him.
"Uff! I thought you said we would be in the Ruins." TT!Gaster said getting up from the floor. He rubbed his sore head.
"I don't know where the Ruins are. Be grateful that we even made it to TemTale. I thought that I put in the wrong coordinates." TT!Nick said getting up.
He dusted off the scraps of metal on him. TT!Nick has no cuts on him, just a few bruises.
"Nick?" TT!Kathy asked. She is bewildered that he is here.
She ran up to him.
"Where have you been? Are you okay?" she asked sounding very concerned.
"I'll live. I just went to an alternative universe with this kid. He accidentally teleported there when we bumped into each other." TT!Nick explained in a calm manner.
TT!Kathy is confused when he mentions going to an alternative universe.
"Paps? Sans? What are you two doing here?" TT!Gaster asked upon seeing them.
"Gaster? You are okay! I thought something really bad happened to you." TT!Sans said greeting TT!Gaster. He seems relieved that TT!Gaster is back.
"Nah! I had my hero with me. Nick here is going to free us from the underground." TT!Gaster said with his eyes sparkling.
TT!Kathy has just notice a text box above them. Was that black text box with a white outline, white text, and showing the face of the person talking always there? TT!Kathy just shrugged as her attention turns to the three skeletons and Nick.
"Gaster... Your hero is human. We must turn him to the Dreemurrs." TT!Papyrus said in a sad tone. He did not want to crush TT!Gaster's hopes.
"Actually... I am a hero." TT!Nick corrected TT!Papyrus. This got the attention of the three skeletons.
"I have a human form, hero form, and dragon form." TT!Nick explained dramatically placing his hands on his hips.
TT!Kathy nods to confirm this when the skeletons eyed her.
"Three different forms? Are heroes supposed to have that many forms?" TT!Papyrus asked while scratching his chin.
"But... if you can turn into a dragon. Does that make him not human?" TT!Sans asks as he turns to his brother.
"Hmmm... I should ask Mettaton. He will know the answer. But to capture a hero and his girlfriend should be enough for the Dreemurrs!" TT!Papyrus said with enthusiasm.
"We are not together. We are just good friends." TT!Kathy quickly stated.
She doesn't want people getting the wrong idea. Besides, TT!Nick already has his true love. Even if TT!Kathy know that they are consumable items, she does not judge.
"Nice save." TT!Nick whispers to her.
"No matter! I, Chef Papyrus, shall take you both to the Dreemurrs! Then, I will be showered in kisses and work in the Royal Guard. My cooking skills are needed for the stomachs of royalty. Everyone will be my friend. I shall be popular that even spaghetti shall be green with envy. Nyeh heh heh!" TT!Papyrus said with a lot of enthusiasm and big hopes.
He struck a pose at the end of his speech. He then left while dragging TT!Sans with him. TT!Gaster followed the two.
"... If they ask that question in an alternative universe, also known as AU, say yes. Our lives may depend on it." TT!Nick said breaking the silence. He began to walk away.
"What about you true love?" TT!Kathy asked him as she follows him.
"You mean pie and eggnog? Come one, Kat. You know better." TT!Nick said rather playfully.
TT!Nick seems to be aware of his love. He doesn't want to admit it just yet he likes her. TT!Kathy nods, though she does not completely believe him. TT!Nick eventually leads TT!Kathy to the next area.
It is a long bridge. There are a few planks missing, but it is stable. TT!Nick goes first. TT!Kathy cautiously follows him. He and TT!Kathy are only a quarter away from the end of the bridge, when TT!Nick stopped suddenly. TT!Kathy peeps from behind him to see ahead.
"What's wrong?" TT!Kathy asked when she couldn't see past him.
Curse her shortness.
"Papyrus, Sans, and Gaster are at the end of the bridge." TT!Nick whispered to her.
"Nyeh heh heh! This is the ultimate puzzle. It should leave a sour taste in your mouth! Behold! The ultimate dish that shall lead me to victory! Nyeh heh heh!" TT!Papyrus shouted and gives a haughty laugh.
Two flamethrowers came from above. Next to the flamethrowers, there are two saw blades. Underneath there are two punching gloves that looked rigged to punch at any moment. Next to the gloves, there are two cannons. TT!Papyrus is holding a controller. He hesitated on pushing the button. TT!Kathy does not see a way out of this. Monstly because she can only see a few gadgets. TT!Nick, on the other hand, does.
"Paps... please don't hurt Nick and his friend." TT!Gaster begged him. TT!Papyrus looked at TT!Gaster's pleading look.
"Er... maybe we shouldn't use this puzzle." TT!Papyrus said. He is conflicted on using it. He then shoves the controller to TT!Sans's hands, "Sans... you push the button."
"What?! No! This is your contraption. You should be the one to push the button." TT!Sans said giving the controller back.
"No, I insist. You push it." TT!Papyrus said in a strict tone.
"And I said no." TT!Sans said getting angry.
The brothers bickered as the controller fell to the ground. The bridge is instantly destroyed.
"Nick!" TT!Gaster cried.
He looked distraught. TT!Gaster looked into the deep chasm. He sees nothing.
"I... Gaster... we did not mean to harm this Nick nor his friend." TT!Papyrus said in a gentle tone.
He placed a hand on TT!Gaster's shoulder for comfort. TT!Gaster starts to shed tears.
"I'm sure they ran back to the beginning of the bridge." TT!Sans said. He tries to stay positive.
TT!Gaster suddenly looks at them with disappointment. TT!Papyrus and TT!Sans are prepared to hear a lecture from their brother. All three brothers are caught off-guard upon hearing voices behind them.
"I told you that you teleported too far." TT!Kathy scolded TT!Nick.
"Sorry. I have to memorize a new place don't I?" TT!Nick apologized as he scratches his head.
The two are fine. They are walking slowly towards the three skeletons.
"I suppose you do." TT!Kathy said with a big sigh. She looks up to when she sees TT!Gaster running over.
"You are okay!" TT!Gaster said with joy. He tackled TT!Nick with a hug. TT!Nick is surprised, but returns the hug.
"You are alive?!" TT!Papyrus said. He sounds relieved.
"Did you teleport?" TT!Sans asked out of shock. Teleporting seemed like the only way escaping.
"Yes, we are alive. I can teleport, but not Kathy." TT!Nick said in a teasing manner.
"The bridge is out... The whole town will be so mad at me. Do not worry! I, Chef Papyrus, will rebuild this bridge. Sans! Go get Frisk. Surly he knows how to build one." TT!Papyrus said.
He seemed to have intentionally forgotten what he did.
"I know how to build a bridge. I could help out." TT!Nick suggested.
"Very well then. The hero will help me in rebuild the bridge. Sans and Gaster. You two can take the human to town." TT!Papyrus said with a nod.
"Ok Paps. I hope you can tie a knot." TT!Sans said with this sly smile.
"Hmm... I cannot knot." TT!Papyrus said a bit sadly. He lifted a small piece of rope.
"Not knot?" TT!Sans asked.
"Who's is there?" TT!Gaster answers rather eagerly.
"Sans!" TT!Papyrus yelled with rage.
He realized what TT!Sans was about to do. In hopes of stopping the pun, TT!Papyrus aided in it. TT!Sans began to laugh. TT!Gaster caught the joke and laughed at the terrible joke. TT!Nick rolled his eyes and TT!Kathy only blinked.
"I can teach you. See you later, Kat." TT!Nick said putting his hand on TT!Papyrus's back.
"Okay." TT!Kathy replied.
TT!Sans and TT!Gaster stopped their chuckling. They calmly lead TT!Kathy to Snowdin Town.
- Snowdin Town -
Upon reaching the town, there was a sign that reads "Welcome to Snowdin!". The words are red with a black border around them. The town seems very quaint from here.
"Frisk? There you are. I would have looked for you, but Papyrus found a human." TT!Sans said to TT!Frisk.
TT!Frisk has blue eyes, a gray and blue striped shirt, a necklace with a gold ring on it, a back pants with a single white strip, gray boots, and brown hair with a single gray highlight. Part of his hair slightly covered his left eye. TT!Frisk is hanging out with TT!Mettaton when TT!Sans spotted him.
"Sans! I... um... Sorry for launching you out of your cannon before you said 'go'." TT!Frisk said. He scratched his head in a sheepish manner.
"Hello, I'm Frisk. And you are?" TT!Frisk asks as he spots TT!Kathy.
"I'm Kathy. Nice to meet you Frisk." TTKathy said in a shy manner.
'Isn't Frisk a human too? Then why isn't Papyrus not capturing him?' TT!Kathy thought.
"My dear! You survived Papyrus's puzzles?! That is incredible. You must be really smart if you can pass them." TT!Mettaton said.
He ran up to TT!Kathy and loving grabbed both of her hands. A pink heart appeared on his screen.
"You are even more incredible than I originally thought!" TT!Mettaton said with joy. TT!Kathy quickly retracted her hands.
"Have you f-found Temmie?" TT!Kathy said stuttering a bit.
Her heart skipped a beat. She forgot about TT!Mettaton.
"No... but now that we are here, we can go on a date!" TT!Mettaton said busting with joy.
He grabs TT!Kathy's right hand. He drags her to a place called Grillby's before she can object.
"We need to talk..." TT!Sans finally spoke.
TT!Sans levitated TT!Frisk using his magic.
"Sans no! I said I'm sorry." TT!Frisk began to pout.
"We need to talk about what you said before you launched me." TT!Sans said grimly. His eye glows a feisty yellow. He looks very serious. TT!Frisk flinched.
"I did not mean it!" TT!Frisk said trying to defend himself.
TT!Sans took TT!Frisk to their house. TT!Gaster follows TT!Kathy. He is more concerned about her than TT!Frisk.
- Grillby's -
There are various monsters there. Some which TT!Kathy fled from, others that have been healed, and few she did not recognized. The place is well kept and has a bar section. It also has this cool looking jukebox. TT!Mettaton took TT!Kathy right up to the bar section of the place. They sat next to each other. It is there, a flame monster come out from a door labled "Couch Sessions". He wore square glasses, a grey button shirt, soft blue pants, charcoal shoes, and a light blue undershirt. The flame monster is releasing small blue flames from his head. Along with him came out a humanoid dog.
"So... my squirrel chasing days are over. But what about cats?" the dog asked the fire monster. The poor dog hugged himself.
"Don't worry. Come back tomorrow, Doggo. We will talk then." the fire monster said. TT!Doggo smiled and left.
"Grillby! We need a special over here. I am on a date with this lovely human." TT!Mettaton said in a dramatic way to get the flame monster's attention.
"What?" TT!Kathy asked snapping out of her thoughts.
TT!Kathy seems more interested on how TT!Grillby can talk with no mouth than TT!Mettaton.
"Alright then." TT!Grillby said as he smiled.
TT!Grillby came over to the bar section.
"Grillby here is the owner of this place. He also offers counsel sessions to troubled monsters." TT!Mettaton chimed.
"Hold on!" TT!Kathy told TT!Grillby. She turned to TT!Mettaton.
"I never agreed to this date. I am going to go find Temmie." TT!Kathy said in a very strict tone.
She got up and headed towards the door to leave. TT!Mettaton's noodle arms are wrapped around TT!Kathy. TT!Grillby raises an eyebrow as he has never seen TT!Mettaton act this way.
"But! My dear. We have to go on a date if we are to be wed." TT!Mettaton started to panic. On his screen is a heart that seems to be rapidly beating.
"I don't know you." TT!Kathy said as she tried to wiggle her way out. She spots TT!Gaster and wonders if he or anyone will help her.
"That is why we are on a date, dear. So we can get to know each other." TT!Mettaton said. He slowly brought TT!Kathy back to her seat. He dared not release her.
"Release me." TT!Kathy commanded.
She started glaring at the robot. TT!Mettaton looked at her. Her glare is really scary and felt like she is going to laser beam him. TT!Mettaton did not reply. Tension in the resturant filled the air.
"I said release me." TT!Kathy commanded once more. TT!Mettaton finally let her go.
TT!Kathy dusted herself off. She then apologized to TT!Grillby for causing a scene. Tension disappeared as soon as TT!Kathy left.
- Snowdin Town -
TT!Kathy stormed out of the restaurant. She begins to walk away from it in hope of calming down. She realized that she commanded that robot out of fear. TT!Kathy wondered if she is even did the right thing as person.
She recalls a time when she fell in love because of a love poison potion. She remembers feeling used and stupid. And the horrible things she did to her friends. It happened because he wanted to control her. Since that day, she promised herself to not fall in love until she is older. A silly promise that she made to herself. A promise that broke.
"Kathy?" a small voice caught her attention.
TT!Kathy turned to see who it is. It is only TT!Gaster.
"Are you okay?" TT!Gaster asks quietly. He could tell that TT!Kathy is conflicted.
"Gaster?" TT!Kathy asks as she approaches him. She is not sure if that was how to pronounce the monster's name.
"I saw what happened back there. Mettaton has never acted that way to anyone. I think that he was being himself to impress you." TT!Gaster informed her. TT!Kathy felt judged and guilty.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to cause a scene like that. I can only hope that it doesn't happen again." TT!Kathy said as guilt punched her in the stomach. She looked like she has committed a horrible crime.
"I think I would be angry too if someone took me out on a date like that. He he... So... Are you feeling okay?" TT!Gaster asked her in a concerned tone.
"I just need to calm down is all." TT!Kathy said forcing a small smile.
"Nick and Papyrus may take a while. Why don't you come to our place? Just until the two are finished building a bridge." TT!Gaster suggested. TT!Kathy thought a bit. She wanted to forget the date with TT!Mettaton.
"Sure." TT!Kathy said with a nod.
TT!Gaster smiled and led her to the skeleton's house.
- ArcadeTale: Hotland -
ArcadeXortex and ArcadeGaster are baffled by this human. ArcadeAhri, ArcadeJena and ArcadeSans came to the lab in Hotland.
"So... Nick is paying for Kathy's medical bills?" ArcadeJena asks the group.
"And this goddess name Lucy is the reason why there was a freak storm that day?" ArcadeSans added.
"Yes and yes. I just did not know that is what happened. Kathy tried to save the plane, but the blast caused her to loose concentration. If it had not been for Nick's emergency landing, we would be goners. Gosh... I feel like such a fool for being so angry at him for so long." ArcadeAhri responded and covers her face. She felt embarrassed now that she knows the truth.
"That does not explain why this TT!Nick did not show his SOUL." ArcadeJena said and began to ponder. ArcadeXortex and ArcadeGaster looked at one another.
"Who fought TT!Nick?" ArcadeGaster asks sounding angry.
"I did out of anger." ArcadeAhri answers. Her ears and tails flopped down.
"It is not that he did not want to show off his SOUL." ArcadeAhri said wanting to change the subject. Her ears picked up a bit.
"If not that, then what?" ArcadeXortex askes as he scratches his chin.
"I asked that to our Nick. Turns out... the guy is SOUL-less freak." ArcadeAhri answers in a harsh tone.
"SOUL-less?! So we have another person that is like Flowey?!" ArcadeSans said and his eye begins to glow. ArcadeJena gives him a paper bag. ArcadeSans began to hyperventilate. The bag helped calm him down.
"But our Nick is a good guy... despite being a SOUL-less freak." ArcadeAhri stated couldly.
"TT!Nick is not from here, Ahri. He might be smarter than Gaster here and our Nick. Look!" ArcadeXortex said as he processed this new information. He showed the gang the fixed AU portal.
"TT!Nick fixed this thing so quickly! It took me a month the first time it broke and still does." ArcadeGaster jumped with anger. He did not like the fact that TT!Nick might be smarter than him.
"TT!Nick also knew about Error!Sans, Luminous, and Descorda. We never even told him." ArcadeXortex added as he closed his eyes.
He then opened them after a few seconds passed. Wondering how TT!Nick knew.
"For as long as I have known our Nick, he can use telekinesis and teleport." ArcadeAhri informed them in a very serious tone.
"We have to assume that TT!Nick can do all of that plus some!" ArcadeSans said as he recovered. He recalled the dragon form.
"What do you mean?" ArcadeXortex asks him.
"We looked up TT!Nick on the AU computer. We found no information on the the guy. It's like... he doesn't exist." ArcadeJena said as it bothered her.
"But we did manage to find a person from TemTale. That being TT!Kathy. It is like the entire AU doesn't want to share its' information." ArcadeSans added.
"TT!Kathy? Are they going though the underground?" ArcadeAhri asks rather eagerly.
She is glad to know that there is a healthy Kathy there. ArcadeAhri's tails began to wag slowly.
"Yes... the two are currently in Snowdin." ArcadeSans answers calmly.
"What are we waiting for, let's go!" ArcadeAhri said joyfully.
"You will have to say here, Ahri." ArcadeGaster said in a strict tone.
"Aww!" ArcadeAhri pouted. She knew why ArcadeGaster asked her to stay.
"Sans and Jena, you two will go find that TT!Nick. I fear this SOUL-less freak may know something that we don't." ArcadeGaster said harshly.
ArcadeXortex prepares the AU portal. ArcadeSans and ArcadeJena went to stand in the middle.
"We are sending you to the Ruins Area of TemTale. Find TT!Nick and get the information that we need." ArcadeGaster yells. The AU portal is making a loud noise. It did not make noise the first time.
"You got it doc!" ArcadeSans yells back. The AU portal made a sound of a chicken. It then teleported ArcadeJena and ArcadeSans to TemTale.
"... Did that thing sound like a chicken?" ArcadeAhri asked the two scientists.
"It did. This is strange. I fear that TT!Nick may have done this. I am starting to not like the guy. No one plays pranks on me! Not even a freak!" ArcadeGaster rages.
ArcadeXortex found the chicken TT!Nick gave them inside the control frame of the portal.
"I found our chicken." ArcadeXortex said in a dull manner. He pulls the chicken out from the destroyed control frame.
"Gaaah!" ArcadeGaster yelled as he pulls his "hair". "He dares play a prank on me!? I will get the better of him. Just he waits! I will kill this TT!Nick." ArcadeGaster said burning with determination.
ArcadeAhri did not laugh at TT!Nick's prank. TT!Nick's personality is similar to Original!Sans, but a less lazy version of the guy. ArcadeAhri began comparing the two in her head. ArcadeGaster prepares himself to fight TT!Nick. ArcadeXortex keeps an eye on the chicken. This is going to be a long day.
