"I'll say this much," said Yakko, walking down the dark hallway, "at least we're surrounded by twinkling stars."

One of them blocked the way. But as they got closer, they realized it wasn't a normal star. It smiled at them, then morphed into a lanky Shyren-Moldsmal creature that smelled like lemons. The kids shrieked as they were brought into another encounter.

"Not another one!" said Yakko.

Lemon Bread roared at them. Yakko hummed the tune he sang with Shyren; Lemon Bread's body shook and spoke with a thousand voices.

"Welcome to my special hell."

The boundary box became a monster's mouth, with a gap somewhere within the row of teeth.

"Look out!" Dot shouted, pushing her brothers to the open gap at the other end of the box as the mouth chomped shut. Then they hid in the center, and to the top left. They let Lemon Bread be. Lemon Bread's teeth shook.

"That's what they all say."

Candy corn shaped projectiles formed in the center of the box. They looked like teeth next to two eyeballs outside of the box shooting orange and blue projectiles. As they ran from side to side, they could hear the melody of pulsating flesh. Yakko hit his arm, losing 2 HP. He winced, then flexed it; Lemon Bread seemed to remember something.

"I've felt this before."

Chomping attack again. Bottom right, top left, center. Could this be goodbye? Apparently so, as they spared Lemon Bread. Lemon Bread melted into a puddle of white ooze, allowing the Warners to pass. The sign next to the machine said "DT EXTRACTION MACHINE STATUS: INACTIVE". The next room was really foggy. Even with the light, it was hard to find where they were headed.

"I can't see a thing!" said Wakko.

After a few steps, they bumped into the wall.

"I think we need to go the other way," said Yakko.

They turned around, going to the other side of the crossroads from before. It was still foggy, but easier to see. White specks flew around in the air.

ENTRY NUMBER 11

now that mettaton's made it big, he never talks to me anymore...except to ask when i'm going to finish his body. but i'm afraid if i finish his body, he won't need me anymore...then we'll never be friends ever again...not to mention, every time i try to work on it, i just get really sweaty...

"Poor Alphys…" said Wakko.

At the end of the room, they found a switch on the wall.

"I think this is what we need!" said Dot.

She pressed it. The fog went away, but the white particles formed into a ball. It morphed into a dog amalgam and cornered them to the wall.

"Uhhhhhh good boy?" said Yakko.

It was the Amalgamate. It bounded towards them, confusing Yakko's remark for a beckoning command, and flecked a strange liquid from an orifice. The gap in Amalgamate's face widened and spit out spears.

"Gah!"

They moved from side to side. Yakko cautiously petted the Amalgamate, causing it to convulse rapidly.

"You're just a small puppy," said Yakko, trying to calm himself down, "nothing more."

The Amalgamate calmed and rested on his lap. Suddenly, it shot away and crawled vividly on the wall.

"No no no," said Wakko, "bad dog! Bad dog!"

It struck the wall with its claws.

"Fetch!" said Dot, throwing her mallet across the room. Amalgamate brought it back...Proudly? She repeated that process a few times, tiring Amalgamate. It leaned its dripping, amorphous body on her.

"SPEW! Get it off me!"

"DOT!" Yakko and Wakko shouted.

They tried to push it off her, but it wouldn't budge. It twitched affectionately and started to generate a Stage 1 Happiness Froth.

"Ugh, this is so gross…"

Amalgamate's convulsions intensified, but seemed to be satisfied. It got off, revealing itself to be Endogeny. It was contented, allowing the Warners to spare it.

"I guess that one wasn't too bad," said Yakko. "It just wanted to play."

They headed back to the previously foggy room.

"Hey," said Wakko, "now I can see in here!"

ENTRY NUMBER 19

the families keep calling me to ask when everyone is coming home. what am i supposed to say? i don't even answer the phone anymore.

Two refrigerators were inside, between that entry and the next one. Wakko opened the first one.

"Oh poo, it's empty!"

"Ya already got Popato Chisps," said Yakko.

The second refrigerator seemed to have some samples of an unknown sort.

ENTRY NUMBER 20

ASGORE left me five messages today. four about everyone being angry

one about this cute teacup he found that looks like me

thanks asgore.

ENTRY NUMBER 21

i spend all my time at the garbage dump now

it's my element

The last refrigerator morphed into So Cold. She wasn't scary...she looked sad...and cold. The Warners laughed, and kept laughing. It was SO funny, they couldn't stop. Tears ran down their faces.

"Why on Earth would we do that?" Yakko asked.

...what? You didn't do that?

"No!"

Oops.

"sn...o...wy…"

She didn't attack. Dot wanted to tell her she looked horrible and ask why she was even alive.

"Hey, no I didn't!"

...what? You didn't say that?

"No way!"

"Seriously narrator," said Wakko, "are you okay? You're acting really weird..."

I'm fine, Wakko.

"Hey," said Yakko, "wanna hear a joke? Somebody asked if I could teach them to ice skate. And ya know what I said? Snow problem!"

So Cold's expression started to shift.

"haha...i...remem...ber…haha...thank...you…"

She completely calmed down and melted away, revealing a blue key. Wakko took it and put it in his hat. They found another room with a slot and a note saying "curtain".

"This is where the green key goes," said Wakko, pulling it out and putting it in the slot.

"Back to the flower room!" said Yakko.

Backtracking through, they entered the room and put the key in the slot.

"That should be the last of them," said Dot.

They retreated to the main room. The door opened as they approached.

"Yep," said Wakko, "that did it."

It revealed an elevator that lost its power and another door leading to another hallway.

"How can she not get lost down here?" said Yakko. "I'm already getting dizzy."

The end of the hall led to the control room. It seemed like it controlled the elevator's power. They turned it on, but when they turned around they screamed as the amalgams cornered them. A familiar voice called out as they cowered.

"Hey! Stop!"

Alphys entered the room.

"I got you guys some food, okay!?"

They ran away.

"Sorry about that…They get kind of sassy when they don't get fed on time. I think they smelled the potato chips you had, and…"

"So…" said Yakko. "This is your big secret, huh? A lab filled with freak shows."

"Yeah…I'm sorry guys…"

"That wasn't your fault," said Wakko. "Ya didn't know it was gonna happen."

"But I should've been more careful...I hurt so many people like this…I appreciate you coming down here to back me up. I suppose I owe you a bigger explanation as to how and why this happened. You see, unlike human and toon bodies, monster bodies don't have enough...Physical matter to take those concentrations of 'determination.' Their bodies started to melt, and lost what physicality they had. Pretty soon, all of the test subjects had melted together into…"

"Those things," Yakko finished.

Alphys nodded.

"Seeing them like this, I knew...I couldn't tell their families about it. I couldn't tell anyone about it. No matter how much everyone was asking me. And I was too afraid to do any more work, knowing...everything I'd done so far had been such a horrific failure. But now...Now, I've changed my mind about all this. I'm going to tell every what I've done...It's going to be hard. Being honest...Believing in myself...I'm sure there will be times where I'll struggle and screw up again, but knowing deep down that I have friends like you to fall back on...I know it'll be a lot easier to stand up on my own."

She pulled them in a tight hug, throwing them off guard.

"Thank you."

Yakko chuckled and patted her head.

"No prob, Al."

She let go and turned around to face the experiments.

"Come on, guys. It's time for everyone to go home."

She walked away with them.

"I'm glad it's gonna end well for them," said Wakko.

ENTRY NUMBER 8

I've chosen a candidate. I haven't told ASGORE yet, because I want to surprise him with it...In the center of his garden, there's something special. The first golden flower, that grew before all the others. The flowers from the outside world. It appeared just before the queen left. I wonder...What happens when something without a SOUL gains the will to live?

"Please don't tell me.." said Dot.

"Alphys created Flowey?!" said Wakko.

"Oh god," said Yakko.

ENTRY NUMBER 18

the flower's gone

"Oh GOD," he repeated with more emphasis. "Why, Alphys? Why?!"

As soon as they entered the elevator, their phones rang.

"Huh?"

It...was a voice...they have never heard before…

"Chara...are you there? It's been a long time, hasn't it…? But you've done well. Thanks to you, everything has fallen into place. Chara...See you soon."

…

"Narrator, what's wrong?" Wakko asked.

The elevator suddenly shot up, shaking violently.

"Whoa!"

The toons tumbled on the floor. Before they knew it, they were back at the castle. As they rolled out of the elevator, its doors were shut tight behind them with vines.

"This is it," said Yakko, nervously gulping. "No more running away from Asgore."

"Who was that?" said Wakko. "And why did they call for Chara?"

"Don't look at me, I got no clue."

The end drew near, the point of no return. The kids were filled with...uncertainty. But despite everything, they were still the Warners.
