Time for a fabulous fight.
After resting, Aaron got from the bed he was resting in and walked over to the entrance to store. He walked in and saw another cat Monster, this time noticeably more annoyed at life as he failed to hide it behind his smile.
"You okay?" Aaron asked
"Welcome to MTT-Brand Burger Emporium, home of the Glamburger. Sparkle up your day (TM)." He said
Aaron got a bit concerned about him, he then asked the same question again.
"I mean... i don't really know, i've kind of... wasted my life here i guess?" He said
"Oh... that must suck." Aaron said
"Yeah, i mean, i wish i could be your age little buddy." He said
"It's not great to be me either." Aaron replied
The cat Monster just looked at Aaron silent, kind of concerned really.
"How so?" He asked
"Back on the Surface, i kind of get my money stolen as an apparent tax by these kids that are my age, they even stole more than that. My fridge, my silverware, my goddamn plates, and they even stole food! Why do they need food when they're parents buy them some?" Aaron said
"Wow, that sounds... brutal." The cat Monster said
"Not even the end of it, they're the reason why i'm here. After getting a huge pay, which i was going to use to buy a better house since i lived in abandoned one, they just came on by, saying that i give them my money as a tax for living there. So i ran away from them while taking my life savings and what little items i have, left the place, fell down a hole, and now i'm here. Talking to you, which is kind of nice really." Aaron said
The cat Monster just looked at Aaron silently.
"Huh, so you've had a pretty shitty life. Well little buddy, i think when we both get on the surface. We could work together and actually have a good time." He said
"Yep... so what's your name?" Aaron asked
"My name, well, it's Don but people call me Burgerpants for some odd reason." He said
"Well Don, my name's Aaron." Aaron said
The two shook hands, Aaron bought a Glamburger, a Starfait, and a Legendary Hero. He left, feeling a little less stressed. He almost felt like... he could relate to someone, never happened before but now it did. Aaron walked into the Core, afterward. He received a phone call and answered it.
"Okay, the Core shifts and changes. So your gonna need to figure your way around, from what i can tell... i don't know where to go." Alphys said
"Oh, at least your honest about this. I'll find a way to get to Mettaton." Aaron said
He then hung up, he then started to walk.
After fighting Wizards and solving many puzzles
Aaron found himself at a crossroads, he saw a yellow star and put his hand over it.
[The air is filled with the smell of ozone... it fills you with Determination]
Aaron was about to continue when he suddenly got a phone call from an unknown person, he answered it.
"Human." He heard
Aaron recognized the voice, he then asked this.
"Is that you Gaster?" Aaron asked
"Yes, listen, your going to reach the King soon. I feel as though that... your journey might end, so please... save me from this hell." Gaster said
"Yeah, i will Gaster. Don't worry, i won't forget you." Aaron said
The phone then hung up, Aaron was now even more determined to get to the Surface.
After fighting Knights and solving more puzzles
Aaron had managed to find his way to the end, Alphys called him and found his location was at the end. Aaron nodded as he put his hand over a yellow star.
[Behind this door must be the elevator to the King's castle. You're filled with Determination]
Aaron then walked through the door, he saw Mettaton, standing there.
"Well darling, i guess it's time for you to stop the 'malfunctioning' robot. You know what, no, i'm gonna tell you the truth. I haven't been malfunctioning, all of it was a show put on by Alphys to make you like her." Mettaton said
Aaron and Mettaton looked at each other in silence, he then said this.
"Kind of figured that out." Aaron said
"Wait what?" Mettaton asked surprised
"Oh come on, tell me you haven't heard of this before? A lonely, socially inept person tries to make people like them by looking like a hero to them or doing what seems to be the best course of action or gets peer pressured into doing something they don't like/ might get them hurt. I may not watch much anime or television but i do have some experience there. But you know what." Aaron said
Aaron then gets into an offensive position, ready to draw a gun on him.
"I DON'T CARE, she hasn't tried to kill me so far. You've could have told me the truth earlier if you didn't care that much about her, yet you did." Aaron said
"...and what does that mean?" Mettaton asked
"You damn robot, YOU ARE HER ONLY FRIEND!" Aaron said
Mettaton looks at Aaron silent.
"Undyne is a love interest, Asgore is a co-worker, and you are her creation which IS AND STILL ARE HER ONLY FRIEND!" Aaron said
Mettaton still looks at Aaron silent.
"If we're going to fight, at least have something at stake instead of 'I want to entertain the Human's' that just plain selfish." Aaron said
Meanwhile
Papyrus, Sans, and Undyne are currently watching Aaron talk to Mettaton on the television.
"Undyne fought me because she wanted to free people, Papyrus fought me because he wanted some form of friendship which he wanted with someone that would care for him as he would do back, Asgore wants my Soul because i'm the key to freeing everyone from this hell. Alphys wanted to help me because you didn't treat her as a friend, all you treated her was as a backup singer in your life and probably your shows too!" Aaron yelled
The three Monsters watched as he chewed out the Undergrounds star.
"wow, the kid must really have some pent-up aggression towards him." Sans said
"AGREED, I THINK MAYBE HE'S BEING A BIT TOO HARSH?" Papyrus said
"Nah, he's kind of right." Undyne said
They then continued to watch.
Back with Aaron
"So while you may be the Star of the Underground, i don't care because i'm ending this. AND THEN I'M GOING TO FREE EVERYONE HERE, WHETHER OR NOT YOU TRY TO KILL ME!" Aaron said
Mettaton then seemed to sigh.
"You want to fight me? Then i'm going to make it fabulous." Mettaton said
That's when Mettaton switched something on, causing him to shake and shudder. That's when smoke appears all around the arena.
"OH YEAH!" He heard
The smoke cleared to reveal Mettaton, but with black hair, a purple chest, black leggings, and pink heeled boots. There was an audience surrounding them in stands as multiple cameras were around, there was a board with the words RATINGS with numbers and a graph under it.
"Looks like i have unveiled this form early." Mettaton said
"Mettaon EX poses into battle."
Aaron then threw off his poncho which landed a couple of feet behind him, revealing him in his hoodies with the knife around his waist along with the gun, the book, he clenched his fists which showed everyone the gloves he wore, his hat covering some of the lighting reaching his face, the glasses hanging off his hoodie with the faded ribbon tied around his arm still, the manly bandanna blowing in the wind slightly, the stained apron on his back along with the sword and shield. He looked at Mettaton with a glare as he drew the gun, he said this.
"Time for the final act."
Mettaton tried to kick Aaron but he rolled out of the way in time as he fired off a shot, Mini versions of Mettaton came down. Aaron dodged some of their attacks while one grazed his shoulder, he took out a Legendary Hero and consumed it as he posed. He then jumped over Mettaton, wagging a finger with a cocky smirk. Mettaton noticed the ratings go up, he smiled as he tried to kick Aaron which he dodged with a slide while posing. Aaron then spun right back up and fired again, Mettaton growled in anger as he tried to kick Aaron again but instead it launched him in the air. He made a peace sign at the audience with anime stars somehow coming out behind him which made the crowd go nuts, Aaron started to fall to the ground but fired again as he posed afterward. Mettaton managed to get a hit in but he ate a Glamburger, Aaron then threw a knife which hit Mettaton and came back to Aaron.
"Well, our ratings seemed to be pretty high. So we'll take one caller before i end this." Mettaton said
That's when someone called in, Mettaton grinned.
"Welcome to the fight of Human's, Robot's, and Monster's. You are on the air right now!" Mettaton said
"I just wanted to say, it would be sad to see you go." The caller said
Mettaton seemed to look downcast at this as Aaron recognized the voice.
"I... always enjoyed watching you, i guess when you're gone. There will be a Mettaton shaped hole in my heart, bye.. i guess." The caller said before hanging up
After the call ended, Mettaton looked at Aaron.
"You know, while the Surface doesn't seem that bad. I think i'll stay here for now, i've still got my fans down here." Mettaton said
"And a great friend too." Aaron said
Mettaton smiled, the audience was then gone as the ratings board disappeared.
"I've got to shut down now, i've used too much battery." Mettaton said
"Yeah... see you Mettaton." Aaron said with a somber smile
Mettaton then shut down, afterwards, Alphys came in.
"O-oh Aaron." Alphys said
"Hey Alphys." Aaron said
Alphys was about to say something before Aaron put a hand on her shoulder.
"Take care of Mettaton, i understand." Aaron said
Alphys nodded, she then left, dragging Mettaton's body with her. Aaron smiled, he then left while getting his poncho back on. Not continuing forward, but deciding to pay Papyrus, Sans, and Undyne a visit in Snowdin.
Later
Aaron was back in Snowdin, he saw Undyne and Papyrus out front, he waved as he said this.
"HEY!"
They looked over to see Aaron and grinned as he walked over.
"HELLO AARON! WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?" Papyrus asked
"Here to visit." Aaron said
"Aaron, i need you to deliver a letter to Alphys." Undyne said
Aaron nodded, taking the letter, he then walked to River Person and rode back to Hotland. He walked over to the front of the lab and slide it under the door, after hearing some mumbling. Alphys comes out.
"I didn't know you f-felt that way." Alphys said
Aaron had no idea what she was talking about but went along, at this points, he kind of wanted to go with the flow.
"I mean, i guess." Aaron said
"Ye-yeah, there was no name on the letter." Alphys said
Aaron mentally facepalmed, whenever you sign a letter, you put your name on it or take a picture of it with your name on it, or have dogs tags saying the same thing, or tattoo it. Really make all precautions for the message to make it through to them is what the lesson was, Aaron learned that after watching some anime on the TV's at the local shops that were playing.
Later at the Garbage Dump
Aaron was still in his usual clothing as Alphys was wearing a red dress with polka dots.
"S-so, how are you?" Alphys asked
"Good, you?" Aaron asked
"Pretty good, do... you like anime?" Alphys asked
"Yes, i may not watch much but i do like it." Aaron said
That's when Aaron saw Undyne walk over, a good chunk of her hair let down, wearing a black jacket with a white turtleneck along with a white scarf, some black jeans, he noticed that she had some lipstick on along with a light colored eyepatch. Alphys noticed Undyne, looking at the two confused.
"What are you guys doing?" She asked
"Apparently i'm on a date, Undyne." Aaron said with a serious look
"What?" Undyne asked
"You forgot to sign your name on it." Aaron said
Undyne was then thinking, she then had a look of realization.
"I'm an idiot." She said
"Somewhat because since you probably watched anime with Alphys, you forgot that step." Aaron said
Undyne sighed, she then looked at Alphys with a geniuine look.
"Alphys, i screwed up on trying to ask you out on a date. So, will you go on a date with me?" Undyne said/asked
"Y-YEAH!" Alphys said
The two then left, Undyne then came back.
"Wait, if that's anime we watched. Then is anime real?" She asked
"Nope." Aaron said bluntly
"Oh... thanks for clarifying that, something could have gone terribly wrong when we got on the Surface." Undyne said
"Any time." Aaron said
Undyne then left, that's when he saw Papyrus pop up from the trash.
"I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO TRAIN ALPHYS FOR A SECOND!" Papyrus said
"Papyrus, go home." Aaron said
Papyrus somehow hopped all the away back to Snowdin, in one leap, like he heard the Nyeh heh's end at the start of Waterfall. Aaron sighed.
"I'm going to the hotel, i'm getting some sleep, i'm too tired for this shit." Aaron said
Aaron then left the garbage dump, knowing that today was a long day.
and that's a wrap.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom
