Chapter IV: U.H.W.: Unknown Human Warning!

Frisk awoke in their bed sometime later. How long had they been out for? It felt like it had been hours.

Slowly, they sat up in bed. They noticed a slice of pie on the ground. They hopped off of the bed and picked it up.

You got the Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie.

Frisk stared in awe as the pie literally vanished into thin air. They felt some weight in their pocket, presumably where the pie went. Frisk left the room and was immediately greeted by a wall. They could see paths to the left and right, and decided to head right. They entered a room with stairs leading downstairs, and a door leading outside of Toriel's home. They continued forwards through her home, and saw her sitting in her chair. They walked up to her with no fear, completely trusting her at this point.

"Ah, up already, I see?" She asked. "I want you to know how happy I am to have someone here with me. I have so many things I wish to share with you. I can show you my favorite bug-hunting spots. I can read you my favorite books. We can have a nice life here," she said.

Frisk saw two options appear in front of them. "Okay" and "When can I go home?"

Frisk, feeling a little homesick, hit "When can I go home?".

Toriel looked taken aback, but not by much. "Th-This is your home now, small one," she said. "How about an interesting snail fact?"

Once again, Frisk asked when they could leave.

Toriel was taken aback more. "D-Did you know that snails have a chainsaw-like tongue called a radula? Interesting, no?" She asked. Frisk took moment of how French she sounded there, then asked how to leave the RUINS.

Toriel stood up. "I have some business to attend to. Please stay here," she said, and walked away. Frisk, of course, followed her. She was gone before they entered the next room. Yeesh, she's quick, thought Frisk as they decided to go downstairs. It was cold, damp, and dark. They could barely make out Toriel at the other end of the room they could see. They ran to her, but she just walked away. This felt strange. Shouldn't she be saying things, like the other monsters will kill them?

...

Where were they getting these thoughts from?! Frisk didn't know anything about being down here, but they seem to know things...about every monster. Frisk knew how to spare Loox, Migosp, Froggit, Whimsun, Moldsmal, and Vegetoid without checking them...even Napstablook, which Frisk had NEVER MET.

Everything was getting weird...and everything was going to get weirder.

Frisk made it to the end of the corridor. There, they met Toriel, in front of a door. They didn't know why, but...they saw horrifying images of them killing her with no mercy, in one hit.

"If you truly wish to leave," began Toriel, "then prove to me you can survive out there. Prove to me how strong you are. ...What is with that face you are making? You look like you have seen a ghost. Do you perhaps know something that I do not...? No, that is not possible," she concluded. The room went dark, and Frisk's SOUL was forced from their body.

"They're right there, huh?" I muttered. "Please don't hurt Tori...I swear to God, if you come out of there with a single spec of monster dust on you, I will murder you until only your SOUL remains," I threatened to nothingness. "Oh, sorry, Alphys. Forgot you're always listening to me," I muttered, knowing the horrific images I just put through Alphys' head. "Well, make sure Mettaton doesn't go crazy on this one...I can sense they're the key to our freedom," I said, crouching, ready to spring into battle. "Of course, if they can't get past me...they're useless," I said.

TORIEL blocks the way!

Frisk LV 1 HP 20/20

[FIGHT] [ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]

Frisk hit Mercy and hit Spare. They didn't want to fight Toriel.

"..."

Toriel attacked Frisk with fire magic, which hurt them. Badly.

Frisk LV 1 HP 12/20

They hit Spare again.

"... ..."

More fire.

Frisk LV 1 HP 4/20

Frisk didn't want to waste any items, which was only the ButtsPie (they internally chuckled at that, they found it amusing), so they hit Spare once again.

"... ... ..."

The attacks were avoiding Frisk. She didn't want to kill them! Frisk continued Sparing her, and her attacks continued avoiding them, until...

"I know you want to go home, but...but please...go upstairs now," she said. Frisk disobeyed.

"I promise I will take good care of you here. I know we do not have much, but...we can have a good life here," she said. Frisk stayed put.

"Why are you making this so difficult? Please, go upstairs," she pleaded. Frisk was determined to leave the RUINS, and stayed right where they were.

"...Ha ha...pathetic, is it not? I cannot save even a single child..." she said, sadly. Frisk tried to say something, but...

"No, I understand. You would just be unhappy trapped down there. The RUINS are very small once you get used to them. It would not be right for you to grow up in a place like this. My expectations...my loneliness...my fear...for you, my child...I will put them aside," she said, kneeling down in front of Frisk and hugging them. Frisk couldn't help but return the hug. "I have but one request. When you leave...please do not come back," she said, releasing Frisk and walking back into her house. Frisk nodded to nothingness, and proceeded through the door to the exit of the RUINS.

Frisk was greeted by a very long hallway, almost as long at the one they had run down. They walked the length of this one, and when they exited, they saw Flowey. "Clever. Veeeery clever," he said. "In this world, it's kill or be killed. So you managed to play by your own rules. You spared the life of a single person. Hee hee hee...I bet you feel really great. You didn't kill anybody this time. But what will you do when you meet a relentless killer? You'll die and you'll die and you'll die. Until you tire of trying. What will you do then? Will you kill out of frustration? Or will you give up entirely on this world...and let ME inherit the power to control it? I am the PRINCE of this world's future! Don't worry, my little monarch, my plan isn't regicide. This is SO much more interesting!"

He finished the speech with a laugh that sent shivers down Frisk's spine. After that, the deranged flower tunneled into the ground, and was gone. Frisk walked across the edge of the room, and was out of the RUINS.

Instantly, they were freezing cold. The area was a snowy forest...Underground. These monsters really knew how to make stuff as real as possible. Frisk took a cold step forwards, and was immediately rushed by something. But...when they entered combat, they saw another SOUL. Another person. A person who's hand was over the FIGHT button...no, a HUMAN who's hand was over the FIGHT button. Frisk moved their hand over ACT.

* ? ? ?

Frisk gulped. Not even the check knew what they were.

* Check * Talk

* Plead * Prove

Frisk studied the options for a bit. They decided to hit Plead.

You plead to the stranger.

"Pleading won't work," they said. They launched fire, lightning, ice, every magical element Frisk knew, and some they didn't.

Frisk LV 1 HP 8/20

[FIGHT] [ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]

Frisk hit ACT.

* ? ? ?

They chose ? ? ?.

* Check * Talk

* Plead * Prove

They chose Talk.

You talk to ? ? ?, saying that you never hurt anyone, and never will.

"Oh yeah? Then prove it," they said, rushing at Frisk with a hand literally on fire.

Frisk barely managed to dodge the attack and was at critically low HP.

Frisk LV 1 HP 1/20

[FIGHT] [ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]

Once again, they chose Act, ? ? ?, and this time, they chose Prove.

You show ? ? ? your LOVE and EXP.

"...It's true. It's really true. Our savior has arrived," they said to themselves. "But if they cannot survive the Underground...I will just take their SOUL back to the King."

Frisk stared at them like they were crazy. They decided to try to SPARE them.

Frisk LV 1 HP 1/20

[FIGHT] [ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]

SPARE

Flee

They chose SPARE, and the fight was over. "I will accompany you through the Underground," said the human. "I will protect you from normal monsters to the best of my ability. But you will have to fend for yourself when you reach the boss monsters."

Frisk nodded. They didn't want to say anything that would make them kill them.

"I will heal you. Sorry for the trouble, but it was necessary," they said, a green light emitting from their palms. The light surrounded Frisk, and they soon felt completely cured, like nothing had happened. They were amazed. "C'mon, kid. Let's get going. Hopefully we can get to Snowdin quickly, I haven't slept in a real bed for a while..." the human muttered the last sentence, and set off. They were quick, and Frisk was soon left behind.

Frisk passed over a huge branch, which snapped once Frisk walked a ways away. They whipped around, but no one was there. Cautiously, they kept walking. They passed two trees near each other, and someone started walking between them. Frisk turned around again, but they were gone in the blink of an eye.

Soon, Frisk was met with a bridge with an overlarge gate. They froze just before the wood when they heard someone walking behind them. Closer. Closer. And Closer.

"Human," they, obviously a man, said. "Don't you know hot to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand."

Hesitantly, Frisk turned around and extended their arm...

But nobody came.

Chara chuckled to themselves. The poor goat wasn't here. She must be downstairs, guarding the exit to the RUINS.

...

How did they know that again?

They shrugged it off and walked downstairs. They walked to the very end of the corridor, where the useless woman was. 'Nothing worth talking to,' Chara thought. Without hesitation, Chara stabbed the knife through her stomach.

"Y...You are much stronger than I had originally thought..." she said. Chara couldn't help but laugh. "Now I...see who I was...protecting by keeping you here...not...you...but them...! Ha...ha..." she said, before turning to pure dust. She died laughing.

Chara proceeded without hesitation, feeling no mercy for the useless woman. After the stupidly long hallway, they met that stupid flower.

"Hee hee hee..." he said. "You're not really human anymore, are you, Chara?" He asked. "What's it to you, flower?" Asked Chara. "The name's Flowey! Anyways, I have a plan to become stronger than you and your stolen SOUL. This entire world...let's turn 'em all to dust," he said, following up with something sounding realer than his normal voice.

"That's a wonderful idea!"

He popped back into the ground, and Chara left the RUINS feeling just a little uneasy.

They entered an area they had never been to; A snowy, underground forest. They stepped forwards, and were immediately rushed by something. Their SOUL ripped from their body once more, they were shocked to see what they saw.

A human in a gray sweater was staring at them, hand over the FIGHT button, bright yellow SOUL shining over theirs. This would be their first use of the Check option.

? ? ? - 50 ATK 60 DEF

LV 13

This human has a thirst for justice, and will stop at nothing to kill you. Has been killing monsters who cannot be saved, as a request from the King.

Chara charged at them, Toy Knife in hand, ready to kill.

MISS

"Man, you have terrible aim," said a voice from behind them, and all went black.

. . .

They awoke where their "SAVE point" was from before. They proceeded, killed her again, ignored Flowey's speech, and went back, ready to kill that human.

Once again, they were rushed, and once again, they missed.

"Y'know, I'm not expecting you to fall for this again," teased a voice. Chara swung behind them, but only hit air. They heard laughter. "I'll SPARE you for now, but if I see you kill ANYONE, you are DEAD."

Chara rolled their eyes and walked forwards. They didn't care how the branch snapped or how they felt someone behind them. They DID care, however, when they stopped in front of the bridge with a gate WAY too big. They couldn't move, and someone was coming. Closer. And closer. And ever closer.

"Human," said a deep, male voice. "Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand."

Chara turned and took the person's hand, knife in the other, ready to kill.

Double cliffhangers!

Yup, double the cliffhangers, double the suspense. Will Frisk ever catch up to the human? Will Chara kill the person who just wants to be friends? Will we ever find out just WHO this human is?!

Maybe, maybe, and maybe! Tune in ne-no, I can't use that...uh...
