With the Temmie armor and the knife, you felt dangerous. You weren't sure you liked that, but it seemed to make Flowey happy. There was a Lab in the lava field of Hotland, so you knocked on the door.
"Uh, Frisk? That's probably a bad idea. Alphys is nice, but she's a little… unstable. Also her best friend is a human killing robot. Maybe we should leave."
But it was too late.
A monster that could only be described as a dinosaur opened up the door. Alphys smiled.
"C-c-ome in."
You decided to befriend this monster. You stepped inside.
"W-w-hat brings you h-here human?"
"I was curious what kind of experiments you do here."
Alphys flinched. You- no. Not you. I mean the reader. You, the reader, might know why Alphys flinches at the thought of her experiments. But you, the character in the "story" didn't.
Suddenly, a load thud echoed throughout the room. You probably know what comes next, don't you? But fine, I guess it doesn't matter what you, the reader, think. Does it? I'll go back to the character.
A large, metal, robot balancing precariously on a small wheel broke through the wall.
Alphys, "P-p-please. C-c-an't you not k-k-ill this one? I-i-i like it.
"Sorry, Alphy. Rules are rules."
"P-p-lease no"
"Oh yes! Welcome beauties… to today's quiz show!"
Disco balls and a spotlight appeared from nowhere and shined on Mettaton
"Oh boy! I can already tell it's going to be a great show! Everyone give a big hand for our wonderful contestant!"
Streamers fell from the ceiling and clapping sounded.
"Never played before, gorgeous?"
You shook your head.
"No problem! It's simple! There's only one rule! Answer correctly…"
The music stopped.
"Or you die."
A battle sequence started and the music resumed. The text box showed "Mettaton attacks".
You tried sparing. Mettaton looked confused.
Mettaton shook himself out of it and asked, "What's the prize for answering correctly?"
Flowey motioned to D - More questions. You looked confused. Obviously it was B - Mercy. You moved your mouse to B, but at soon as your soul touched the button, Mettaton shot a beam at you. Your health depleted to 10 hp. Flowey growled at you, and you looked back sheepishly. So Flowey was right. On to the next question.
You paid careful attention to what Flowey said to choose for the next few questions.
"I don't understand it!" Mettaton sighed. "You just wont choose the wrong answers. Well, well, well. With you getting all the answers right, the show has no dramatic tension! We can't go on like this! But. But! This was just the pilot episode. Next up, more drama! More romance! More bloodshed! Until next time, darlings…"
Mettaton shot up through the ceiling.
Alphys smiled sheepishly. "Sorry about that. I couldn't stop him… I didn't even try… Maybe I should of… Oh, please just leave."
