Alright, let's continue finally! Sorry, it took WAY too long to get back up on this. I got sick, then I got to see what a emergency office looks like, then my Wi-Fi gave up, and THEN some things happened in my personal life. At least I had a fun birthday though. So, with all of that, lets keep this train going. I hope you enjoy this chapter of my interpretation of theatrical Undertale.
SCENE 7
EXT. THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT - UNKNOWN TIME
Frisk trips into the pit, yelling. They then land on a large leaf that's sprouting out of the wall of the pit. They bounce off like a trampoline and land on another leaf. This continues until the child is caught by a branch covered in plants which slides them down on a patch of yellow flowers. The light from the pit above shines on the patch.
FRISK
.. Well, that wasn't so bad-
The stick Frisk grabbed from earlier falls from the pit and hits them on the head.
FRISK
Ouch!
The area around them is engulfed with plant-life. Four roman-like columns surround the child with vines tangling around the sides. The rest of the place has giant leaves branching off trees and flowers hidden in the corners of the room. In the very front is a large door also covered with vines around the edges. As Frisk looks around cautiously, a cold wind flies through, and the flowers and plants begin to shake. An chant begins and echoes throughout the cave.
UNKNOWN VOICES
Welcome to the Underground~
The world of the monsters~
The chant continues as Frisk looks very confused.
MYSTERIOUS VOICE (O.S)
Howdy!
Frisk looks around to see who is talking. The voice is no longer an echo, but nearby.
MYSTERIOUS VOICE (O.S.)
I'm right here, buddy.
The child turns around and sees the backside of a flower with yellow pedals hanging off the sides. Suddenly, it turns around, revealing a smiling face.
FLOWER
Howdy!
Frisk jumps backwards, yelling. They immediately grab the stick and points it at the flower, backing up while doing so. The flower has slight southern accent with a hint of sarcasm, as one does with a child.
FLOWER
(toying with Frisk)
What? didn't you know we plants are alive?
The flower begins to laugh. All the vines, plants, flowers, and grass begin to giggle as well, even though they do not have faces.
FRISK
.. Y-You can talk?
FLOWEY
Sure I can. That's the power of the Underground.
Frisk continues to back up, their hand shaking as they hold the stick.
FLOWER
Why are you so scared, pal? Relax, have a seat.
The flower whistles as a group of flowers begin to morph underneath Frisk, forming a large throne chair made of flowers. A lay necklace (the Hawaiian flower necklace) falls gently around Frisk's neck, who is now sort of smiling. Flowey pops up beside the arm rest of the throne.
FLOWER
The name's Flowey. Flowey the flower. What's yours?
FRISK
.. Fri-
FLOWEY
Eh, whatever, doesn't matter. Now, let little old me level with you if you don't mind.
Flowey shoots down into the ground and pops back up in front of Frisk.
FLOWEY
Don't you just hate it when you don't get your way? Isn't it annoying when others think they know what's best for you, as if they can manipulate you like some puppet, held by the strings of an opposing, exhaustive, no good lyin'-
As Flowey speaks, he gets louder and more angry. He then turns his head to Frisk, who is confused and slightly scared by the flower's outburst.
FLOWEY
Uh, I mean, did people hurt your feelings up there?
He talks in a baby-like tone to Frisk, who nods 'yes' like a nine-year old child would to a parent. Flowey then gets close to Frisk's face.
FLOWEY
Well, I can fix it to where you never feel that way again.
Suddenly, The flowers that make up the throne begin to wiggle, and then slingshot Frisk into the air. They manipulate there selves into a slide in the air and the child goes down it, shooting off back into the air, where they are then caught by a group of flowers who swing Frisk like a trapeze, who is now enjoying it.
FLOWEY
I can make it to where you could always have fun, where you could do whatever you desire, and with no strings attached.
Frisk continues to play with the moving flowers until, out of nowhere, a bright red heart appears in front of them, floating in the air.
FRISK
What's that?
FLOWEY
Oh, that's your soul. The very culmination of your being. Down here in the Underground, a humans soul leaves there body when they enter. Neato, huh?
Frisk touches the heart and it jiggles like gelatin. They grab it and squeeze it.
FRISK
(giggles)
It's squishy
FLOWEY
Hey now, let's be careful with that buddy-
The child begins to bounce it off from the floor and wall like a basketball, laughing.
FLOWEY
Don't do that!
FRISK
Why not?
FLOWEY
Because.. it's very valuable. Yes, in matter of fact it's your ticket away from all your problems.
FRISK
This thing?
They squeeze the heart some more, making Flowey flinch.
FLOWEY
Yes-sir-ree.
The flowers underneath Frisk rise up once more, back into the throne. It then slides towards the door on the wall of the pit.
FLOWEY
On the other side of this locked door, holds the Underground, the world of monsters, where all your hopes and dreams will become a reality. A brand new life, a brand new start.
Flowers attach on to the locked door, and the different colors of the plants creates a mural of an amazing world, with fireworks at the top in front of a night sky, an amusement park in the distance lit up with spotlights coming out of it, and a blue road leading towards it. Frisk looks amazed, an reaches their hand as if to touch it. The throne immediately shoots back before the child can.
FLOWEY
But, we don't run a charity here. You have to pay to get in.
Frisk looks down at the flower and then reaches into their pocket.
FRISK
I have a paperclip and.. lint.
FLOWEY
No, silly. The price of admission into the wonderful world of monsters is simply one.. Soul.
Frisk looks at the heart and grabs it.
FRISK
You mean this?
FLOWEY
Why, yes! That's all it takes.
FRISK
..I'm not sure-
FLOWEY
Just give it to me and I'll let you right through-
FRISK
I like this though.
FLOWEY
But if you give it to me you can go have the time of your life. Now, hand it over.
Frisk hops off the flower throne holding the heart.
FRISK
(brat-like)
No.
FLOWEY
Come on, let's not be silly here..
FRISK
It's mine and you can't have it.
Frisk stands on the pile of yellow sunflowers they fell on, crossing their arms and facing away from Flowey.
FLOWEY
Hand it over.
FRISK
Mmmmmnope.
FLOWEY
Buddy, stop being stupid and give me the soul.
FRISK
Nuh-uh.
Flowey begins to twitch.
FLOWEY
You don't need your soul anyway! Some humans a still live without them! Maniacs, serial killers, politicians, they don't use them!
FRISK
I don't care.
FLOWEY
Give it to me.
FRISK
No.
FLOWEY
Hand it over!
FRISK
For the last time, no!
Flowey's face begins to contorts.
FLOWEY
Now!
FRISK
No-
A giant vine jets by Frisk's head and violently slams into the wall, creating a hole. Frisk jumps sideways and turns to Flowey. His eyes are solid black with white dots for pupils.
FLOWEY
I'm going to ask.. One more time.. Give.. Me.. The.. Soul.
Frisk, scared and without a word, takes the heart and holds it behind them.
FLOWEY
(twitching)
Golly, you must be so confused. Someone ought to teach you how things work down here.
Suddenly, the flowers necklace tightens around Frisk's neck as all the flowers around the child begin to turn red. A tsunami of plants wrap around the child and brings them up into the air, forming a volcano-like structure, with Frisk stuck at the top. Flowey begins to rise using the flowers around him and meets with Frisk at eye level. His face turns into an ugly evil looking shape.
FLOWEY
In this world, it's killed or be killed! Why would anyone pass up an opportunity like this!? Die!
All the flowers begin to laugh maniacally along with Flowey as the plants begin to tighten around Frisk's body. The heart begins to float towards Flowey. Suddenly, the door flies open and the flower turns around, confused. We see a hand with white fur covering it create a fireball and throw it at Flowey. The flower screams as the fireball hits him off-screen. The plants holding Frisk run away and the child plummets to the ground. They hit their head on the ground and everything goes black.
SCENE 8
EXT. THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT - MOMENTS AFTER
Frisk slowly opens their eyes and everything is blurry at first. Frisk then sees that they are laying against the wall, and a figure is humming from the shadows. The figure turns, revealing two bright white eyes. A woman's voice begins to talk.
UNKNOWN FIGURE
Ah, you are awake finally. I am happy I found you when I did child.
The child looks into the darkness, unsure and scared.
UNKNOWN FIGURE
I am going to come closer now. Do not be alarmed.
The figure breaths and enters the light, revealing a rather tall woman, with horns coming out of her head and two droopy goat ears hanging off the sides. She is covered with white fur and is wearing a large purple robe. Frisk, of course, begins to scream and grabs a nearby rock and chucks it at her. She blocks it with her hand. Frisk grabs the stick from before and points it towards her.
FRISK
Help! Help!
MONSTER WOMAN
Child you must stay silent. Please, I am not going to hurt you. I promise.
Frisk stops screaming, but is still on guard.
FRISK
.. But the flower-
MONSTER WOMAN
I know child. What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor innocent youth. Let me introduce myself: I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins. I clean up rubble, I watch for any other monsters, and I am also an exceptional gardener.
Toriel takes a pair of gardening scissors and cuts a flower on one of the columns while smiling at Frisk.
TORIEL
I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down, and you are the first human to come down here in a long time. Come, I will guide you through the catacombs to where it is safe-
She turns back to Frisk, who is still on edge and scared. Toriel frowns and gets on one knee to meet eye level with Frisk.
TORIEL
Listen, I can not force you to follow me.. I can not even ask you to trust me. But all I want for you right now is to be safe from harm from these miserable creatures. It truly pains me to see any child in such distraught.
Silence falls on Toriel as she begins to think.
TORIEL
Say, do you like pie?
Frisk waits a second, and then nods their head 'yes'.
TORIEL
What kind?
FRISK
.. I like butterscotch.. a-and cinnamon.
TORIEL
Oh, I see, you are one of those old simple one-flavored pie eaters. I enjoy a nice snail pie myself, but that's just me.
Toriel laughs as Frisk giggles too. The child begins to smile, but then it fades away. Toriel gives a genuine smile towards the child.
TORIEL
That is nice. I will have to see what I can do.
She stands back up.
TORIEL
If you ever want to come see me, I will be at my house. You can find it if you stay on the path I have created. Do not be afraid to stop by.
Toriel opens the door, revealing a light-pink road that is between two rotting pink brick walls with weeds growing out of them. Toriel turns back around to Frisk.
TORIEL
Oh, I almost forgot. Here, take this.
She reaches up her sleeve and pulls out the bright red heart and tosses it to Frisk, who catches it.
TORIEL
Make sure to keep that safe and never let another monster even lay a finger on it.
Frisk looks at the heart, then back at Toriel, then back at the heart again, and is very confused.
TORIEL
One's soul is so valuable. Never give it away.. And never take one.
She looks away for a second, then back at Frisk. She smiles at the child and then turns around and starts to walk. Frisk watches as she turns a corner and goes out of sight.
Now wait a minute, that's not how the original story went. What's going on here? It will all make sense later. The next chapter will be a lot more fun as we will go through the ruins and possibly go off the path. We will see. But thank you for reading, and as always, please leave a review on what you thought of this and if you have any recommendations or wishes you want to be added. The next chapter will surely be out quite faster than this one did. Thanks for reading!
