"OHH YES!"

"Ohh my. If you flipped my switch, that can only mean one thing. You're desperate for the premiere of my new body. How rude...Lucky for you, I've been aching to show this off for a long time. So...as thanks, I'll give you a handsome reward. I'll make you last living moments..."

And that's when-the moment I have been aching to happen, the moment I get to finally show off my true power-he finally appears.

Yes, the fabulous(almost as fabulous as myself)Mettaton EX!

"ABSOLUTELY beautiful!"

And so, we commence in battle.

Mettaton EX makes a pose a second practically, as the ratings gradually raise or drop.

I don't pose as often, but still do so.

I mean come on!

When am I ever gonna be on TV again, even if it is in the underground!

I destroy all of MTT EX's attacks, having no trouble at all and losing barely any HP.

Huh, maybe this'll be easier than I thought.

"Ooh, it's time for a pop quiz!" Mettaton announces. "This one's an essay question!"

"ESSAY PROMPT:

Why do you love most about Mettaton?"

I smile and write quickly:

"Everything! Especially ur fabulousness(even though I'm way more fab;)"

"Done early! Mmm, guess I'm pretty smart." I claim, handing him my answer.

He smiles, despite that last part(which I can tell he is getting a bit irritated about).

"Hmm...I see," MTT EX says. "Your essay really showed everyone your heart. Why don't I show you mine?"

"Bring it."

MTT EX sends out harder attacks, but I manage and I am soon getting somewhere while hitting MTT EX's heart.

In no time it feels like, we have another "heart-to-heart" moment, as MTT EX calls it.

I hit MTT EX's heart as much as I can, and his arms fall off.

I kinda feel bad, but remember that he'll be fine, once Alphys comes in.

"A...arms? W-who needs arms with...legs like these?" MTT boasts. "I'm still going to win!"

"Dream on!" I taunt.

The attacks get harder but I try as hard as I can.

Yet another "heart-to-heart" moment.

I know this one will determine the fate of it all.

And I am determined to end this, right here, right now.

I hit with his heart with no trouble.

Until the very last hit.

How can I tell it is the last hit, you ask?

I can feel it.

I am about to hit until one of his attacks hits me and I fall to the floor.

"Duffy!" I hear Alyssa call to me in despair.

Mettaton EX laughs. "Just give up, darling. There's no way you'll make it past me.

I stand up and stare at MTT. "I will not give up! I never will! I will fight for the underground, I will fight for humanity, and I will fight for my loved ones! But I'll never give up as long as I live!"

I use one last attack and watch as it hits directly at MTT's heart.

And that's when his legs fall off.

And only his upper body remains.

And that's when I know for sure...it's over.

I stand in front of MTT, towering over him as he talks.

"OOH! LOOK AT THESE RATINGS!"

I smile at how large of a number the ratings increased to.

"THIS IS THE MOST VIEWERS I'VE EVER HAD!" MTT exclaims, undoubtedly ecstatic.

"WE'VE REACHED THE VIEWER CALL-IN MILESTONE!" Mettaton EX exclaims. "ONE LUCKY VIEWER WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO TALK TO ME...BEFORE I LEAVE THE UNDERGROUND FOREVER!"

"Leave? Forever?" I say under my breath, still staring down at MTT.

"LET'S SEE WHO CALLS IN FIRST!"

I smile weakly and nod, trying not to ruin MTT's mood.

MTT finally accepts a call.

"HI, YOU'RE ON TV!" MTT exclaims. "WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ON THIS, OUR LAST SHOW?"

"oh...hi...mettaton..."

What...is that...

"Blooky?" I mutter under my breath.

"i really liked watching your show...my life is pretty boring...but...seeing you on the screen...brought excitement to my life...vicariously. i can't tell, but...i guess this is the last episode...? i'll miss you...mettaton..."

Mettaton looks very sad and I look down, my hands entangled together.

"...oh...i didn't mean to talk so long...oh..."

"NO, WAIT!" MTT pleads. "WAIT, BL..." MTT sighs. "H...THEY ALREADY HUNG UP..."

MTT looks sad for a moment, then smiles. "I'LL TAKE ANOTHER CALLER!"

"Mettaton, you show made us so happy!" one caller exclaims.

"Mettaton, I don't know what I'll watch without you!" another caller exclaims.

Another exclaims, "Mettaton, there's a Mettaton shaped hole in my Mettaton shaped heart!"

"EVERYONE...THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

"Don't you see Mettaton?" I say, crouching down to his eye level. "Everyone adores you. If you were to leave...well..." I stand up and stare out to the distance. "...the underground just...wouldn't be the same..." I look him in the face. "You've made everyone happy! Are you really just gonna leave everyone to have no one to look up to? Your an idol to monsters all over the underground! You're a star, a hero, a actor, a singer ..." I smile and turn my head to the side. "...and my idol. I wouldn't have this much confident if it weren't for you. Thank you MTT."

"DARLING, YOU'RE RIGHT," MTT agrees. "IF I LEFT, I'D LEAVE AN ACHING VOID THAT CAN NEVER BE FILLED. SO...I THINK I'll HAVE TO DELAY MY BIG DEBUT. THANK YOU DARLING. YOU'VE PROVEN TO BE VERY STRONG! PERHAPS...EVEN STRONG ENOUGH TO GET PAST ASGORE. I'M SURE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE ABLE TO PROTECT HUMANITY. HA, HA...IT'S ALL FOR THE BEST, ANYWAY."

I know exactly what's going to happen now. "You're going to run out of power, aren't you?"

"...YES...BUT...I'LL BE ALRIGHT!"

I look up at him, surprised. "W-what?"

"KNOCK EM DEAD DARLING!" MTT encourages.

I fall onto my knees and hug the last remains of his body to me.

I can't tell if he accepts or not, for he can't really put his arms around me to show it.

"Thank you," I whisper to him. "I can't wait to see you again."

The thing we were on lowers and we are back to the level with all the others.

I let go of MTT and set him down gently.

I sigh as my soul disappears.

"I'll see you soon," I whisper, looking at the remains of his body. "I promise."

The drama in this story fills you with DETERMINATION

(Um...stay determined and all that jazz! Heh heh heh heh, I don't know what I'm even doing anymore...heh...)
