Annaka

We walk away from where the news report thing was and to another place where the Core comes into view.

Lily's phone rings. She picks up and puts it on speaker.

"Um...I noticed you guys haven't been talking as much...Are you w-worried about meeting Asgore...?"

"Possibly?" Lily replies, uncertainty in her voice.

"W-well, don't worry about it, okay?" Alphys says. "Th-the king is a really nice guy...I'm sure you can talk to him, and...W-with your human soul, you can pass through the barrier! S-so no worrying, ok? J-just forget about it and smile."

Lily grins, just as Alphys hangs up.

We continue on, all of us stepping inside another elevator.

Mimi

We reach an wall with a small hole to go through.

Some of the shorter girls go through with ease, unlike taller people like Nya, Annaka, and Kealani, who have to crawl through.

We reach a room with spider webs and spiders.

I watch as Annaka's eyes widen in fear.

"I'm out!" she declares.

Annaka turns around to leave but Kennedy quickly catches her arm and she turns around.

"Come on, Annie," Kennedy says. "There's no other way to continue on."

"But you know I'm afraid of spiders!" Annaka exclaims, looking like she wants to run away screaming.

"We have to go through," Kennedy says. "If we leave you behind, I will never forgive myself. And there's no other way."

Annaka looks at Kennedy as Kennedy look at Annaka and all of the group looks at both Kennedy and Annaka.

Annaka closes her eyes for a minutes.

Then, she sighs and says, "Fine. Let's just go." Then, points a finger at me. "You better hurry up with that fight, Mimi."

I nod and we continue on, Annaka staying more towards the back and looking totally freaked out.

As we walk, faint sounds of spiders laughter and speaking can be heard.

Just as we are about to step into the ground that is covered all with spider webs, a spider says, "I hear one of the humans hates spiders."

Annaka nods her head a bit and I bite my lip from keeping myself from laughing.

I step into the webs with ease and walk forward at the front of the group.

I reach towards the middle and Muffet comes into view, other spiders around her as well.

I am unable to move as I am brought into battle, my soul already purple.

I swiftly dodge the beginning attacks, then says, "You know, Muffet. Before you send me to my grave, can I have a taste of some of your tea? I do love tea, of course."

Muffet considers this.

"Ok, dearie" Muffet finally says. "It will probably be the last time you taste some so savor it. Ahuhuhuh!"

She tosses me a cup and I swiftly catch it.

I take a sip of the tea inside before holding the cup above my head.

I float up, glowing purple.

Everything goes dark.

When it's light again, I am in a human version of Muffet!

I giggle a bit. "This'll be way easier than I expected now that I'm transformed."

I go through the whole fight, surviving and losing a bit of HP.

Until I am finally let out of the fight and Muffet is gone.

Annaka comes up to me and puts her hands on my shoulders. "You look beautimus but can we get out of here now? How about we talk when we're out of spider webs?"

.

We walk out of the spider room and to another room with a familiar poster on a nearby wall.

I turn back to my normal self quickly and go to check out the poster.

It has a picture of Mettaton on it for a stage performance. It reads:

"A tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers, kept apart by the tides of fate..."

It appears that it's almost time for the performance.

We walk to the right which has a place that looks like it should be in a fairy tale, not the underground.

We walk over towards where stairs are, Elizabeth in the lead.

"OH? THAT HUMAN..." we hear a familiar voice say.

And, up the stairs, peeking out by the stairs, is no other than Mettaton.

Elizabeth

"COULD IT BE...?" Mettaton asks as I stare up at him.

Mettaton reveals himself to be wearing a blue dress that looks like the one Cinderella wore to the ball.

"...MY ONE TRUE LOVE?"

Mettaton looks like he is looking at me.

Oh god. Why can't this be Zac Efron calling me his one true love?

Mettaton rolls over towards the stairs with his one wheel, holding up the gown.

He rolls down the stairs and towards me and, to my surprise, starts to sing.

"Oh my love! Please run away! Monster King forbids your stay! Humans must live far apart! Even if it breaks my heart! They'll put you in the dungeon! It'll suck! And then you'll die a lot! Really sad! You're gonna die! Cry cry cry! So sad it's happening."

Mettaton stops singing and everything seems to be still in time except for me, the other girls, and Mettaton.

"SO SAD," Mettaton says dramatically. "SO SAD THAT YOU ARE ALL GOING TO THE DUNGEON."

Mettaton moves aside and something with a button is in his hand.

"WELL, TOODLES."

A huge square opens beneath us and we fall inside.

I look over to everyone else as we fall.

Most of the girls are looking up or have their eyes closed, but Kennedy is clinging onto the backside of Annaka.

I look up to see the dark sky that was looming above us as Mettaton was singing.

I sigh and close my eyes, letting myself fall into a place that will most likely be full of danger.

.

"Duffy?"

I open my eyes to see nothing but my hair in my face.

I brush my hair out of my face to see Alyssa crouching in front of me.

"Duffy, are you ok?" she asks me.

I smile and nod. "Yeah. I'm fine."

She helps me up and Mettaton comes down, flying.

Everyone else is up and awake and looking at Mettaton.

"OH NO!" Mettaton exclaims. "WHATEVER SHALL I DO? MY LOVE AND HER FRIENDS HAVE BEEN CAST AWAY INTO THE DUNGEON. A DUNGEON WITH A PUZZLE SO DASTARDLY, MY PARAMOUR AND HER DEAREST FRIENDS WILL SURELY PERISH!"

We look over to see a colored tile ground.

"O, HEAVENS!" Mettaton exclaims. "HAVE MERCY! THE HORRIBLE COLORED TILE MAZE! EACH COLORED TILE HAS ITS OWN SADISTIC FUNCTION. FOR EXAMPLE, A GREEN TILE SOUNDS A NOISE, AND THEN YOU MUST FIGHT A MONSTER. RED TILES WILL...ACTUALLY, WAIT A SECOND. DIDN'T WE SEE THIS PUZZLE ABOUT A HUNDRED ROOMS AGO?...THAT'S RIGHT. YOU REMEMBER ALL THE RULES, DON'T YOU? GREAT...THEN I WON'T WASTE YOUR TIME REPEATING THEM!"

What the freak?! I don't know this!

"OH, AND YOU'D BETTER HURRY," Mettaton says. "BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T GET THROUGH IN 30 SECONDS..."

A row of flames appears.

"YOU'LL BE INCINERATED BY THESE JETS OF FIRE!"

As we reach the puzzle, Mettaton starts to sing but I pay no attention to that.

"How are we supposed to get past this?!" I exclaim.

"Just follow me," Annaka demands. "I remember what everyone of these means. Just follow, ok?"

Everyone agrees and we follow Annaka.

She goes in certain path, avoiding all yellows for some reason.

Just as we are almost done, the tiles turn gray and black and we all stop.

"OOHH, I'M SO SORRY!" Mettaton says. "LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE OUT OF TIME!"

The flames start to close in and we all stay towards the middle, as close as we can.

Just as they are so close that I could touch them, they completely stop.

Suddenly, my phone rings.

I answer it.

"Watch out!" I hear Alphys exclaim. I'll save you! I'm hacking into the firewall right now!"

Within seconds, the fire is gone.

"OH NO!" Mettaton exclaims. "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? FOILED AGAIN BY THE BRILLIANT DOCTOR ALPHYS!"

"That's right!" Alphys exclaims. "Come on, Mettaton, give up already! You'll never be able to defeat us...Not as long as we work together! Your puzzles over..Now go home and leave us alone!"

"PUZZLE?" Mettaton questions. "OVER? ALPHYS, DARLING, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT...? DID YOU FORGET WHAT THE GREEN TILES DO? THEY MAKE A SOUND, THEN YOU HAVE TO FIGHT A MONSTER. WELL, DARLING...THAT MONSTER...IS ME!"

I am brought into battle, my soul yellow.

I sigh and wait for attacks, until my phone rings.

I roll my eyes and answer it.

"Not the best time to call!" I yell.

"S-sorry," Alphys says apolegetically. "I know th-this seems bad but don't worry! Th-there's one last thing I installed on your phone...! You see that yellow button? Go to this phone's ACT menu and press it!"

I go onto the act menu and press yellow.

"Now shoot!"

I definitely do shoot, which seems strange to me, but works!

It seems to shock Mettaton or something.

Mettaton seems like 'whatever' about me defeating him, then just leaves and I am brought out of the battle.

"L-looks like you beat him!" Alphys exclaims. "Y-you did a really great job out there."

"Yeah, ok," I say. "Thanks to you!"

"W-what?" Alphys asks. "Oh no, I mean..."

"Come on," I say. "You deserve credit."

"You were the one doing everything cool!" Alphys exclaims. "I just wrote some silly programs for your phone."

I scoff. "Silly? More like fabulous!"

"Oh...well..." Alphys trails off. "H-hey can I tell you something? A-although I have already m-met the other human, they went on and d-didn't need my help anymore. B-but before I met the other human...I didn't like myself very much. For a long time, I f-felt like a total screw-up. L-like I couldn't do a-anything w-without...W-without ending up letting everyone else down. B-but! Guiding you girls and the other human has made me feel...A lot better about myself. So...thanks for letting me help you girls."

"Alphys, if you wouldn't have helped us," I say. "We would've been dead a long time ago."

"Hey!" the girls exclaim.

I put a hand up. "It's the truth!"

"Uhh, anyway, we're almost to the CORE," Alphys continues. "It's just past MTT Resort."

My eyes brighten. "Resort you say?" I start to walk. "If it's a resort, I am so there!" I look back to the rest of the girls, who are trying to catch up with my rapid speedwalking. "Hurry up!" I plead.

Then, I turn to face forward again, feeling full of pride-and speed-as I lead the way...even though I don't really know where I'm going in the first place...


The sense of action and adventure fills you with DETERMINATION

(All I have to say for this one is stay determined!)
