Chapter 12: Hotland/Core

I walk into the abandoned laboratory and approach the large monitor.

*its me, Chara.

I think I grew another foot taller from last time, and my horns are definitely much larger now. I'm honestly kind of intimidating… i keep walking forward and see Mettaton after taking a package of instant noodles. "Oh, there you are." he has to look up to look me in the face. You ugly creature. You've made quite a name for yourself. Such infamy. I'm quite impressed. Oh. yes. If you're looking for Alphys, she's not here. While you were busy doing your, ahem, thing… she was running around evacuating people to safety. Now they are in a place where you will never get to them. Deciding not to fight you. My my, she really is the only smart one, isn't she?" I step forward. "Oh? How sassy. You're just itching to get your hands on me, aren't you? Well… t-o-o b-a-d. This world needs starts more than it needs corpses! Toodles!" Mettaton runs away and exits the lab. Oh well. Time to keep moving.

-timeskip-

All of the random encounters have already been exhausted. Now all that's left is some of the more important people. For example, muffet's orphanage. I walk inside.

"Did you hear what she said?"

I keep walking.

"They said that a monster with a striped shirt would come through."

Keep walking.

"I heard they hated children."

Keep walking.

"I heard they like to kill children."

Keep walking.

"I heard they like to hide in the shadows and hunt them down."

I keep walking and then stop at a large desk.

"I heard…" a light turns on over the desk, and muffet is there holding a torn notebook. "...That they a real freak. How sad, a monster comes and it couldn't even be a smaller, cuter one. Oh well, I suppose we will have to kill you either way."

*Battle start!

*Magic

*you launch a full force wave of fire at Muffet's SOUL. it takes her HP down to 0 in one attack.

*Shatter!

One of the children comes up to muffet and feels her arm, and then runs away before coming back with a flower to put in her hands and then leaving for good.

*you WON! Earned 300 SF and 0G!

I start walking out, and all of the children have all run off to hide. Oh well… I light one of the beds on fire and then exit the building as it begins to burn to the ground.

-timeskip-

We reached one last room in the core. Mettaton sits there waiting.

"My my. So you finally arrived." I take a step forward, and Mettaton pulls out a revolver and aims it at me. "Would you hold still while I talk, please? You see, I despise your kind, really I do. The only reason I became a cyborg was because the monster before you had injured me. I barely survived as it was. You, however… you are an outright murderer. You shatter the SOULs of countless people. My fans… even if anyone did survive you… no one should have to suffer the pain i did." i take another step, and Mettaton fires, lodging a bullet into my shoulder.

*HP 51/76

"ahahaha. Eager as always, eh? But don't touch that dial. There's something you haven't accounted for. As any true fan might know, I was originally designed to destroy any monster who fell into the underground. It was only after becoming a star that I was given a more… photogenic body. However. Those original functions have never been fully removed. Come any closer and I'll be forced to show you... My true form!" I take another step. "fine then. Rrrrrrrready? Iiiiiiiiiits show time!" There is a large flash of light.

*Battle start!

I take back control from Chara. Mettaton's form has completely transformed again, similar to his normal NEO form. His hair has been pushed aside to show that his right eye has been replaced by a metal one… huh. Oh well.

*Magic

*you throw a wave of flames at Mettaton. It instantly takes his HP down to 0.

"Gh… guess you don't want to join my fan club?"

*Crack!

*Shatter!

Mettaton's body powers down as his SOUL is destroyed. All of the fragments i have have gather together with the fragments of Mettaton to form one more SOUL. there is a flash of light as it is absorbed into my body.

*you WON! Your SL has increased.

*Chara SL 6 HP 51/92
