A portal opened next to Grillby's before TME steps out with a grin on his face, though it seemed a bit strained.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to the first official boss battle of Adventuretale, Finn VS Papyrus. I know some might be confused as to why I said this one is the official first battle, but Toriel didn't want to hurt Finn so I didn't exactly count it. It was more like a prequel type boss battle if that makes sense." TME said while rubbing his head.
"And I've made my choice on the character that mixes well with Papyrus from the KH series and this might anger some. But I picked Ansem the seeker of darkness for a few reasons, Now here me out before you flame or insult me, but I have my reasons, First off is Sans, I chose Xemnas for him, Xehanort's nobody, and I picked Gaster for Xehanort himself if I ever put him in the story officially, but that is for you guys to decide." TME said before he teleport to the spot where Papyrus was and hid behind a tree to get ready to watch the fight.
"Now then, let's get into the story shall we?, and my apologies if it's a bit short to you, but I should make the boss battle chapters a bit on the short side." TME said before the camera shifts to Finn exiting the Snowdin shop.
Snowdin/ Town/ Finn, Chara (Past life ghost)
Finn exits the shop with Chara following with some confusion and humor filling their being since Finn looked a bit shocked when he found out that his eye was glowing.
"So... guess that sweater excited you huh?" Chara said with a humored tone before Finn turned to him with a glowing red eye.
"Not funny... I thought this would be at least gradual if I couldn't get out of this place fast enough, but now one of my eyes changed to a glowing red before I even got out of town, How do you explain that!" Finn said while the duo heads a bit out of town and towards the nicecream vendor while Chara took a moment to look at the ceiling before responding.
"No clue, could probably be from the fact that you killed other monsters on the surface and the added LOVE accelerated the process when you got here." Chara said which confused Finn.
"Love? how does killing a monster get love?" Finn asked which made Chara chuckle.
"There is a difference between regular love and LOVE here... LOVE here stands for Level of ViolencE... and LOVE is a way to increase your level from 1 to 20... or in your case higher since you kill monsters on the surface on a daily basis." Chara said while Finn's eyebrows rose at the real meaning of LOVE in the underground, though something did confuse him when the duo got closer to the nicecream guys stand.
"I get on the surface since I had no choice sometimes... but I haven't killed anyone here so why is it affecting me now?" Finn asked while Chara shrugged.
"Could be many reasons... your level from the surface could be added to your level down here... your determination could be another... there are many reasons but not much in terms of answers I'm afraid." Chara said before the duo slowly approached the area where the Nice cream vendor was while Finn got past monsters in his way without killing them.
Snowdin/ Nice Cream Vendor's area/ Finn, Chara (Past life ghost.)
Finn managed to get to the area where the Nicecream vendor was in a mostly unharmed state, but Finn got nicked a few times along the way which made him sweatdrop at a few close calls.
Chara reappears when Finn got close to the nicecream vendor, though he had a bored look on his face.
"So what now?, I doubt he still serves that kind of Ice cream." Chara said while Finn shrugs.
"Couldn't hurt to ask right?" Finn said before Chara rolled his eyes but kept silent while Finn got close to the nicecream vendor which got his attention.
"Oh hey there, want another nice cream?" The Nicecream vendor asked which made Finn smile.
"Sort of, do you sell something that tastes salty yet sweet?" Finn asked which caused the Nicecream guy to get a bit surprised.
"Uh... I did in the past, but I don't sell it nowadays, where did you hear that from?" The Nicecream vendor asked which caused Finn to sweatdrop before Chara whispered into his ear.
"Say you found an old nicecream stick with the name sea-salt ice cream on it and that you wanted to try it out yourself." Chara whispered before Finn felt a bit relieved.
"Uh... I found an old nicecream stick which had the name sea-salt on it and I wondered if you sold them or something." Finn said which caused the Nicecream vendor to sigh.
"Freaking litterers..., anyway I used to but I ran out of the ingredients long ago and I only have one left after I had my cart magically enchanted by...huh... I can't remember who...anyway... to keep things in it fresh and cool, I would give it to you but only if you found a few ingredients for me so I can make more." The nicecream vendor said which caused Finn to grin.
"No problem, helping others is my job." Finn said with a grin which caused the vendor to chuckle.
"Sorta like a royal guard huh?, anyway I need something salty and sweet, Sugar and Salt won't do if you think like that... I would have gone to Dr. Alphys for the ingredients but she is all the way in hotland and I don't think my cart could take the heat." The Vendor said before Finn grins.
"No problem, if I just need to speak with this doctor then you can leave it to me, I'll get to hotland and back before you can say Adventure time!" Finn said with a grin on his face while the Nicecream guy grins.
"Adventure time… Got my ingredients yet?" The nicecream guy said with a grin while Chara chuckles and Finn sweatdrops.
"Uh..." Finn said while the Nicecream guy spoke up.
"Hehe sorry about that, but thanks, if you manage to get me some ingredients then I can give you the sea-salt Nicecream I have in exchange." The nicecream vendor said while Finn grins.
"Alright, I'll be back soon if things go well." Finn said before he ran off while Chara took a moment to look to the Nicecream guy before following Finn.
"So... that's a human huh?, seems friendly compared to the last few that came by." The Nicecream vendor said with a smile before the scene went back to when Finn and Chara went to town.
Snowdin/ Town/ Finn, Chara (Past life ghost.)
When Finn and Chara made it back to town, Finn looks to Chara which made him raise an eyebrow.
"What?" Chara asked which made Finn grin.
"Just wondering if sea-salt nicecream is good or not... know a way to hotland from here?" Finn asked which made Chara raise an eyebrow.
"You'll find out later right?, and the exit is this way." Chara said before he starts to lead Finn out of town while he had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Something wrong?" Finn asked while he had his hands behind his head while he walked.
"...Nah, let's just get to hotland first... we need to pass Waterfall beforehand though." Chara said while he floats alongside Finn, he wanted to say something but thought otherwise when he remembered what was up ahead after they passed a house with two mailbox's next to it... one was way over stuffed which confused Finn somewhat while the other was neat.
The duo then exits Snowdin and found themselves in some kind of fog...
Snowdin/ Town exit/ Finn, Chara (Past life ghost)
The fog caused Finn to frown before he looks to Chara.
"Know a way through this?"Finn asked while Chara ignored him when he saw something... or somethings to his shock.
"There should only be one person here... who's the second?" Chara thought before they heard the first taller figure speaking up.
"HUMAN... ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU SOME COMPLEX FEELINGS... THE FEELING OF FINDING ANOTHER PASTA LOVER... THE ADMIRATION OF ANOTHER PUZZLE SOLVING SKILLS... THE DESIRE TO HAVE A COOL, SMART PERSON THINK YOU ARE COOL..." The voice, now known to Finn as Papyrus said before he said something surprising to Finn and Chara for two different reasons.
"HONESTLY, I WOULDN'T HAVE MINDED BECOMING YOUR FRIEND...BUT I TRIED TO SAY THIS TO FRISK YEARS AGO AND I FAILED TO STOP HER... AND IT ENDED IN HER DEATH... SO I'M SORRY HUMAN... BUT I CANT LET YOU DIE..." Papyrus said when the fog cleared some to reveal him and... a little white dog?
"Uh... this is different." Chara said which confused Finn greatly but he focused on Papyrus and the dog.
"You don't know that Papyrus, I don't know who this Undyne person is or how strong they are even if they are captain of the guard down here, but I'm a hero on the surface with family and friends of my own and I can't just leave them... you got a brother right?, so you should understand that I can't leave my bro on the surface...right?" Finn said while Papyrus looked a little saddened.
"MAYBE... I MAYBE THE GREAT PAPYRUS BUT UNDYNE IS THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD FOR A REASON, SHE IS STRONGER THAN I AM AND WOULD HAVE NO ISSUE WITH KILLING YOU FOR YOUR SOUL." Papyrus said which confused Finn a bit.
"I get that most are attacking me... but why are they after my SOUL again?" Finn asked which made Papyrus sigh.
"IT'S SIMPLE HUMAN, IF SEVEN HUMAN SOULS ARE BROUGHT TO KING ASGORE, THEN HE CAN USE THEM TO BREAK THE BARRIER AND WE CAN GET TO THE SURFACE… FRISK MANAGED TO GET BY MY GREAT SELF WITHOUT HARMING ME… BUT SHE DIED SOMEHOW AND WE COULDN'T USE HER SOUL… IT WAS LIKE IT VANISHED." papyrus said while Finn took a bit to think before looking to Papyrus.
"Wait… why seven souls?, And if I remember right, why human souls?" Finn asked which made Papyrus think for a moment before answering.
"IT'S BECAUSE HUMANS AND THE MONSTERS IN THE PAST, BEFORE I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS AND MY BROTHER SANS, APPEARED IN SNOWDIN… THE HUMANS USED MAGIC IN THE PAST AND MADE A BARRIER THAT PREVENTS US FROM LEAVING THE UNDERGROUND AND ONLY SEVEN HUMAN SOULS CAN BREAK THE BARRIER… I DON'T WANT TO HARM YOU HUMAN SINCE YOU SEEM LIKE A NICE HUMAN… BUT…" Papyrus said while Finn frowns when he had a bad feeling which was proven right when Papyrus spoke up.
"I'M SORRY HUMAN… BUT I CAN'T LET YOU PASS UNLESS I KNOW YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF… AND IF YOU CAN'T… I'LL BE PERSONALLY TAKING YOU TO THE CASTLE MYSELF SO THE KING CAN USE YOUR SOUL…" Papyrus said which surprised Chara since Papyrus was normally more friendly.
Finn was silent before he spoke up.
"Do we really need to fight?... I'm not as defenseless as you might think... I won't harm anyone here who just do their own thing… but I will defend myself if I need to." Finn said while he changed his main weapon to his pink Jewel sword for speed and activated the shield mode of his shield sword while Papyrus looks to him before sighing.
"MAYBE NOT HUMAN… BUT THE LAST TIME I LET A HUMAN BY AND SHE DIED… EVERYONE BLAMED ME FOR IT WHEN HER SOUL WASN'T FOUND… IT… REALLY MADE ME QUESTION IF I WAS AS GREAT AS I CLAIMED TO BE." Papyrus said which caused Finn to get a worried look on his face, but before he could ask anything, Papyrus spoke up.
"SO THE ONLY THING I'LL HAVE TO SAY IS THIS… I'VE BEEN TRAINING SINCE THAT TIME IN SECRET… EVEN MY BROTHER DOESN'T KNOW... SO THINGS WON'T BE EASY FOR YOU LIKE IT WAS FOR FRISK… AND THIS IS MORE LIKE A QUESTION FOR YOU… WHAT IS YOUR NAME HUMAN?" Papyrus said while Finn frowns.
"... Finn Mertens or Finn the Human to others." Finn said which made Papyrus smile a little from hearing that.
"WELL FINN THE HUMAN, I'M SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT…" Papyrus said before he surprised Finn and Chara by summoning two bones in his hands… one orange… one blue, and Papyrus slammed one end of the bones together which caused the two halves to stick together like a dual edged sword of sorts before he spun the blade around and holds it behind him which caused Chara to blink a few times at the sight before papyrus spoke up.
"...YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" Papyrus said before he moved the dual ended weapon in front of him and slams the staff into the ground which actually cracks the ground a little bit.
Chara sweatdrops a bit before speaking up.
"Aside from an old line like that from an old movie… definitely different…" Chara said while Finn wondered what movie Chara was talking about before he shook his head before looking to Papyrus.
"..." Finn was silent when he looked to Papyrus before Papyrus charged him with the annoying dog in tow before the battle starts between Finn and Serious Papyrus.
Finn VS Serious Papyrus
Papyrus raised his arm with the dual colored bone staff while Finn raised his shielded arm to block the attack.
Papyrus noticed and shocked Finn when his Blue side of his bone staff actually going through his arm without damaging it instead of Finn blocking it.
That shock was short lived when Papyrus spun the bone staff and the orange end connects with Finn's torso which caused Finn to get launched back with him shout of pain before he crashed into a nearby snow pile.
"FINN!" Chara called out with worry while Finn pulled himself free of the snow while Papyrus watched Finn as he got to his feet before shaking his head while he remembered something that Sans told him.
"My brother has a very special attack, if you see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you." Finn remembered Sans saying before he looked to the dual ended weapon and rubbed his chest while he took another moment to think.
"Ok… Blue is being still, that I get, but what is orange?" Finn thought before Papyrus got into another attacking stance while Chara spoke up after he flew next to Finn.
"Finn, you have to move through ORANGE attacks, their the opposite of BLUE attacks." Chara said while he wondered how Papyrus learned how to do that.
"Great…" Finn mutters before Papyrus charged Finn again with the BLUE and ORANGE bone staff spinning, this time Finn charged as well when he saw the orange end heading his way this time before he dashed through it… before he saw the blue end heading towards him which caused Finn to slide on his knees to avoid the hit for the most part, but it nicked him a bit on the brow which knocks off his goggles which fell to the ground.
Finn ends up behind Papyrus before he got up with a jump into the air when Finn looked back and saw Papyrus attacking him with a spinning bone pole already which results in the orange nearly hitting the snow under him before Finn brought his guard up when the blue end shot towards Finn when Papyrus used the momentum to spin before Finn could land.
And since Finn was in motion, he took the hit instead of it passing through him harmlessly which sent Finn flying again before he crashed into another snow pile.
"FINN!" Chara called again before looking to Papyrus with wonder before thinking.
"What is going on… even if a thousand years did pass, I normally watched multiple monsters and for a while I watched Papyrus when Flowey tried to mess with him and he never did a single thing like this?" Chara thought while Finn pulled himself out of the snowpile while panting for breath when the attack was stronger then he thought and he felt some blood drip down his face.
"Glob that hurt!, Need to think of something fast or I might die." Finn thought while he summoned his pink jewel sword to his hand before he stood in front of Papyrus after he used a few drops of cyclops tears on the wound on his head before he examined papyrus, but what he saw would shock him a bit.
Former info: PAPYRUS 8 ATK 2 DEF
He likes to say: "Nyeh heh heh!"
However a second window popped up to show very different info to Finn, especially when that white dog popped up near Papyrus.
Current info: SERIOUS PAPYRUS 20 ATK 10 DEF
ANNOYING DOG: ? ATK ? DEF
Doesn't want anyone to die after Frisk's death since he was blamed for it behind his back.
Annoying dog was trained somewhat by Papyrus to aid in some attacks.
However, before Finn could wonder about it for even a moment, Papyrus charged him with the blue/orange staff at the ready and Finn only had this thought when he summoned the pink jewel sword to his hand and tossed the blade at Papyrus who raised his staff to block the attack, but when it got close, it vanished to Papyrus's surprise and when he got over his shock, he saw that Finn was already running quite a bit away from him and the sword was in his hand somehow.
Papyrus narrowed his eye sockets before he held a hand out and raised it into the air before a wall of bones blocked Finn's path to his shock before Papyrus spoke up when he got close to Finn.
"NICE TRY FINN THE HUMAN, BUT IT WON'T WORK ON ME FOR LONG, I TRAINED WITH UNDYNE FOR MANY YEARS AND LEARNED A FEW TRICKS…I WON'T LOSE ANOTHER FRIEND!" Papyrus said while he got into an offensive stance and Finn grits his teeth when he turned to the loud skeleton.
"You may have learned a few tricks Papyrus, but I trained as a hero for years… YOUR NOT THE ONLY GREAT ONE HERE!" Finn said before he charged Papyrus with a roar and their weapons clashed, Papyrus's bone weapons and Finn's jewel sword and the shield sword when defense wouldn't work well thanks to the nature of Papyrus's bone weapons and the fact that they could change color at will before they try to attack one another with various attacks.
For a few attacks, the duo blocked and parried one another with various techniques, Papyrus's seemed more spear based while Finn stuck with dual wielding his swords.
Finn at the time didn't want to hurt Papyrus, in fact Papyrus reminded Finn of himself somewhat… he was trying to think of a way out of this when he tried to remember what he had, the best healing item he had was cyclops tears and his weapons, he had snacks sure, but he didn't think they would work here right now.
A moment later, Papyrus tried to use an overhead strike on Finn with both bones which caused Finn to raise the swords in a guard before the attack connects and Finn's body shudders from the strength that Papyrus's uses in the attack, and thanks to the dual sided bone staff, with the blue side at Finn, thanks to Finn not moving on the ground, he wasn't harmed thanks to that but Papyrus starts to send the orange side to Finn from and swinging low to upper strike and Finn had to backflip away to dodge the attack and he lands on his feet before he took a moment to catch his breath while he tried to think of a way out of here.
"Glob.. what can I do that won't kill him?" Finn thought while he saw Papyrus getting back into his combat stance while Finn tried to think of things again… before he had one idea, it was risky for many reasons… but it was the best idea he had right now since his options were limited, Fighting wouldn't get him anywhere, running was pointless since he would be blocked by Papyrus, and he couldn't kill him, he had many reasons not to but the main one was Sans, he had a feeling the lazy guy was stronger then he looked and he didn't want to find out.
Finn then returned his shield sword to shield mode which confused Papyrus for a moment before Finn brought one of his cyclops tears out before charging Papyrus before the tall skeleton narrowed his eyes and summoned a small bone and for some reason just tossed it towards Finn and when he tried to stop, Papyrus spoke up when he points to Finn.
"FETCH!" Papayrus called out before the Annoying Dog, who was laying nearby, popped it's head up before it saw Finn catch the bone… right before the Annoying dog gets excited and charged Finn who got a surprised look on his face right before he got tackled and he dropped his bottle while the Annoying dog starts to lick and jump on him while Finn tries to get the Annoying dog off while Papyrus approaches with a walking pace while he made sure his weapon, which had a few nicks, get repaired for his next attack.
Finn in the meantime was having trouble with getting the Annoying dog off of him when the… Annoying dog wouldn't leave him alone, the bone Papyrus tossed got caught in his scarf and it made it hard for Finn to get it out with the Annoying dog jumping him constantly.
Finn tried to get away for a moment more before he heard an extra loud crunch next to his head and saw Papyrus's boot next to his head while the Annoying dog looked to Papyrus with an excited look.
the Tall skeleton raised his bone weapon with the blue bone raised and he even summed an orange bone to his free hand in case Finn tried to dodge before he sent them towards Finn's head to try and knock him out.
Finn saw the attack coming, and with a quick roll, barely missed the attacks and had to grip the Annoying Dog with one arm and pushed himself to his feet before he used a bit of his strength to pull the Annoying Dog off him while ripping his shirt a bit before he tossed the Annoying dog onto a high snow pile and the bone as well which caused the Annoying dog to pop its head out of the pile and had the bone in its mouth and starts to munch on it.
Finn ignored both the cold biting at his chest while he looked to Papyrus who dismissed the orange bone on the bone staff which now left him dual wielding a blue colored bone in one hand and an orange bone in the other.
The Duo then stood there and eyed one another while Finn took a moment to breath in right before he charged Papyrus with the pink jewel sword in one hand and pulled out another bottle of cyclops tears out of his backpack for some reason which confused Papyrus, he knew one was a full healing item so why bring it out?
However he didn't think about that when he saw Finn charging him and decided to end this here and now when he saw that Finn wasn't even putting up his guard by raising his arms and with the ground rumbling to Finn's surprise, blue and orange bones shot out of the ground and flew towards him randomly which made Finn's eyes widen in shock but he knew he couldn't keep running and dodging forever… so he did the next best thing when he shocked Papyrus and Chara by actually charging right through the bones while they passed through them, the blues ones hurt like hell but he passed through the orange safely, so it could be debated that instead of panicking and getting hit by all, he only got hit by one time before he roars when he charged Finn and shockingly tossed his pink jewel sword away.
Unlike Chara and Frisk when they first came to the underground at Level 1, Finn's level was much higher from his fighting on Ooo.
His current level… was 10...
Finn continues to roar when he charged through the bones… and when it looked like he would pass out when he stumbles near Papyrus… he remembers Jake, Marceline, Phoebe, Bubblegum, BMO, Rattleballs… and many more on the surface who would miss him greatly if he died… which caused both of Finn's eyes to glow red and he shot through the bones and in front of Papyrus with a fist held back… and the Cyclops tears tossed vat Papyrus who's eyes widen in shock… right before Finn roars and punched through the bottle and hits Papyrus on his chest plate before it cracks… and when Finn took a step forward… he said this.
"I don't know what Frisk's motives for trying to leave are… but I have mine… and if I don't get back home… THEN I CAN'T PROTECT ANYONE!" Finn said with a determined look on his face right before he yelled and the last thing Papyrus saw before passing out we're Finn's eyes that looked right at him with a look… that was similar to his own… no… it was more then that… a gaze of a protector...
Papyrus crashed hard into the snow, but unlike when Frisk's attack would cause Papyrus to turn to dust, thanks to Finn holding his punch back, and with the Cyclops tears added to his attack, most of the damage was negated and Papyrus was knocked out as a result.
"Ha….ha… ha… wow… gotta say… he…. Is a tough guy." Finn said while his eyes return to normal… or as normal as one red eye still being there could be.
Chara on the other hand was surprised at the move, Finn could have gotten killed and Papyrus should have died, but thanks to Finn's thinking, he got by with healable injuries and Papyrus was just knocked out.
But before he could say anything, Chara saw Finn go to his fallen bottle of Cyclops years and instead of using them on himself, he walked over and poured the entire bottle on Papyrus's chest and the remaining damage healed before he just quietly corked the bottle and just starts walking away after placing the bottle in his backpack when he saw the bone barrier fall.
"Hey Finn, wait up!" Chara said before he floats after Finn.
The annoying dog, after watching Finn leave, moved over to Papyrus's side, and lays next to him while the tall knocked out skeleton had a slight smile on his bony face even when asleep.
The scene then fades to black with Finn walking down the path while he summoned his pink jewel sword to his hand and sheaths it.
Up next… Waterfall...
The scene fades back in with TME being seen while he watched Finn and Chara heading away from a knocked out Papyrus.
"He then looked to the readers before he spoke up.
"Hey everyone, sorry for taking so long with the story, but I got caught up with others with Atomsk and lost track of time, I'll keep things short since Gaster could pop up at any moment, but I want to say that Boss battles here are mainly short for various reasons, but I hope you all liked the fight, as for Finn's level, he did fight a lot of monsters on Ooo, but you may question the low level, I can explain that later in detail but lets just say that the barrier that keeps the Monsters in has a weakening effect and leave it at that, don't think it's canon but it would explain a few things… anyway, I'll get out of your hair and get to work on the next chapter soon, so peace." TME said before the scene fades to black… but not before the camera turns a bit and saw Gaster in the background while he grins at the readers.
