"Owww…" I groaned in pain. I was lying on my side, in a bed of flowers. My wound stung like crazy, as I felt something touching my leg.
"Howdy Undyne! So you're awake…?" I heard a voice say happily. I recognized the voice immediately from that day in the woods, so I didn't even bother to look around.
"Flowey… I…" My vision was still blurry and I was still in pain. The flower stopped touching my leg and popped out of the ground, smiling.
"Boy! That was one fall there. Luckily I was there to catch you unless you would have died!" Flowey exclaimed. I felt something touch my leg again and felt a weird tingling feeling. I tried to get up, but I fell back down. "I wouldn't move. I'm still healing you!" It said, frowning. I sighed in annoyance when I realized what happened before all of this.
"Wait! I have to get to… to Snowdin," I groaned, still dripping sweat and in complete pain. Interestingly, I wondered if that this is what Alphys felt whenever she talked, I attempted to stand up, and only ended up crouching on the floor, shivering.
"Undyne! You couldn't possibly make it to Snowdin! I mean, it takes me around a couple of minutes to get to Snowdin, and I don't know how long it is to walk there on foot!" Flowey looked exasperated as I attempted to stand up again. My plan failed, and I only took a couple steps before falling to the floor.
"Help me out, you… you punk!" I grumbled at the flower as it rushed to help me. It entangled me enough so it could help me walk, and we got out of the room without fail.
"Fine, fine…" Flowey grumbled in annoyance. "Just here's a rule:: Don't let anyone see me," Flowey frowned as it perched itself on my shoulder. I looked at it, semi shocked, but I was too tired and hurt to even think. What is he hiding?
"What do you mean?" I asked it. Flowey grimaced when we took a step because of all of the weight he had to lift up.
"I'll tell you… later…" Flowey frowned as we missed a step and fell. We were almost at that weirdly dark room with the patch of green in it, but we were about a couple feet off. Flowey hoisted us up again with vines from the ceiling, and we walked easily through the black room.
Next was the small house, which we easily traversed. We walked through the puzzles as if it was in any other circumstance, but around 5 times as slow. I groaned as I felt the poison corse up my leg as if they were on a highway. Flowey stopped moving for a little bit when we were going down the long hallway, and peeked his little flower head over my shoulder and looked at me.
"Are you sure you don't want to stop?" Flowey said, exasperated. I shook my head with
the energy I had left, as Flowey frowned and we kept moving.
After around 5 minutes, my leg started to feel numb. After 8 minutes, my torso loss feeling. We finally got to the room around where the spider bakesale is, when I heard a voice.
Flowey jumped, and quickly untangled itself from my numb body. I collapsed onto the floor, and felt scrapes on my shoulder start to bleed.
"Undyne… is that you…?" A heard a voice echo.
Thank goodness for Napstablook. I sighed in relief when I heard the ghosts voice. He looked at me interestingly.
"Yes… it is…" I grimaced when more pain started spasming out of the wound.
"Undyne…! Are you hurt…?" He said, probably oblivious of the bleeding and pussy wound on my side. Oh he said quietly when he saw all of the blood.
"Can you… get… help…?" I said back to the ghost. I would have laughed at how we almost sounded the same, but with a life-or-death situation like this I didn't really feel like laughing all that much. Napstablook nodded but came over to my wound.
Tears started coming out of the ghosts eyes. They hit the wound, and the feeling started to come back. He stopped crying abruptly when nothing else worked, and looked at me.
"Get… royal… guards… anyone… in-" I paused when I realized that Napstablook was already on his way. Flowey popped up again and looked at me, still frowning.
"Do you really trust the ghost? We could easily continue, or I could heal you more…?" Flowey asked awkwardly. I attempted to smile at the silly face it had, and I laughed.
"Me…? Trust Blooky…? Of course! I'm their neighbor…!" I said happily. I will finally get some help! I thought amazingly. "He.. he can go through walls, you know," I stuttered again as my wound started getting more agitated.
"I know! I know almost everyone here," Flowey looked annoyingly at me. "I live here," he said, frowning. "Fine. I'll heal you," he touched his leaf to my leg, and the feeling started to come back.
"Thank you," I said to the flower. The flower paused for a second.
"No problem." it said.
…
The next few hours of my life included a lot of rushing around. The dogs came as fast as they could to my rescue, and I said a quick goodbye to my friend, Flowey. They pulled me onto a stretcher, and brought me to Papyrus' house as fast as they could. They were all amaze about "how well Blooky healed me"... I couldn't wait to tell Flowey how much good of a job he did. I stayed in Papyrus' house on the wooden floor while I slowly fell asleep.
I woke up to a frantic monster slamming open the door of the house.
"UNDYNE?!" I heard someone yell. I drearily opened my eyes to see a Snowdrake standing there, with a wierd doctor costume on. He was looking at another familiar figure who was looking frantically at me. My head was pounding, but the leg no longer hurt.
"Alphys!" I said softly as I propped myself up from where I was laying before. She had her doctor jacket, even though it was clearly disheveled and a mess. Her glasses were barely on her head the right way, and she was clearly nervous. "I feel fine…" I said to reassure her.
"Thank goodness. I was so…" She stopped talking to me when she realized that the Snowdrake was there. "Thank you so much for taking care of Undyne! She looks great," Alphys said as she hugged the Snowdrake.
"I… I can take care of… this now!" Alphys dismissed the Snowdrake.
"Thank you Doctor Alphys for the excellent guidance!" The Snowdrake chirped enthusiastically. I recognized this one as the younger brother of that punk… is his name Cooldrake? Alphys smiled happily as the Snowdrake exited the room.
"Thank goodness you're alive!" Alphys hugged me. I smiled in happiness as I realized that I was thankful as well.
"Thank goodness for Napstablook," and Flowey, I thought. "If it wasn't for him I would have been dead before the dogs found me."
"It was him…? I… I only just found out," Alphys stuttered again like she always does. I smiled slightly at her habit, and I frowned.
"How is Papyrus? And Sans?" I said, my heart starting to beat frantically. Alphys frowned, and started to reply before closing her mouth.
"How is Papyrus," I held her shoulders firmly as Alphys' paused. "Alphys…!" I started freaking out, my eyes widening. "Is he okay?"
"I…" Alphys stuttered, seemingly overwhelmed. "He…"
"Alphys!"
"He… you… you have to see him... yourself," Alphys clarified that he was okay… but nothing else. I stood up, pain gone, and started walking to the door.
"Undyne! You… you're not all of the way healed yet!" Alphys ran up to me and grabbed my hand, forcing me to stop halfway out of the door. I turned around and looked at Alphys, who was shivering because of the cold weather.
"Alphys," I addressed firmly. "Papyrus was the last person that I was with before I was hurt. And I don't leave my friends- including you of course- in the dust. I need to know that he's alright before I rest," I told Alphys calmly. "I'll be fine."
Alphys stood there, stunned. "I… Are you sure…?" she stuttered. I laughed, which almost made her jump.
"Of course, Alphys! Why would I not be okay?" I smiled the biggest smile that I could with a burning headache. She smiled back, as I started to leave.
"B… but I'm coming with you. O… okay?" She stepped out of Papyrus' house confidently. I smiled as I started running. I smiled at the Greater Dog as I ran by, but it seemed like he had a spear in his armor…?
"Only if you can keep up!" I started running down the road to the Riverperson. Alphys regarded me strangely because of my certain rule that I wouldn't take the ferry. I smirked as the Riverperson asked me for a ride, and Alphys and I climbed on.
"I… I thought you didn't take the ferry," Alphys stuttered. I smiled at Alphys, who was sitting behind me on the flat piece of wood.
"Today's an exception," I smiled broadly, as the Riverperson went by the waterfall. I quickly smelt the smoke from my forever burning house as we sped by, and we continued to listen to the water rush by.
In only in a matter of seconds, we entered the forever sweltering hot lands. I could already feel the heat from my seat of the boat, and I already started to sweat. Alphys stepped out first, and I followed, as we walked to the L1 elevator.
"Hey Alphys… what does L1 stand for?" I asked, curiously. She frowned and looked up at me, and we entered the elevator. She clicked the "R3" button and turned to me.
"It… it means Left 1," She stuttered slightly before continuing. "Because that's the elevator that's on… on the left side and on… on the first floor.
"Oh…" I frowned, realizing how simple the whole entire thing was… I should have known that. I flinched as the elevator almost stuttered to a stop, and my leg wobbled because of the force. Alphys looked at me, almost worried.
"A… are you sure you're okay…?" She said to me, almost worried.
"I'm fine," I breathed in slowly as the elevator dinged. We walked out, went to the MTT resort, and was greeted by the nice triangle greeter at the door.
"Welcome to MTT… wait... Undyne?!" She said, confused. "You never come out here!" She walked around awkwardly in a circle on her two feet, and then faced me. "I better call Mettaton!"
"W...wait… Ciel…! We d...dont need to talk to Mettaton," Alphys stuttered, as I started to walk past the two.
"Hmm… your name's Ciel?" I said down to the triangle shaped starfish. "We're on a very important mission, and we don't want any distractions, so can we please proceed?" I glared down at the starfish as they pulled out their phone and started talking in the phone. Alphys groaned in annoyance, when a weird buzzing was heard from the speakers.
"DARLINGS! WE HAVE TWO SPECIAL GUESTS AT THE MTT RESORT!" We heard from from the speakers. We both groaned as we both knew the voice of the 'iconic tv star' Mettaton. I've never trusted that guy, and the fact that we were 'special' means that we would be regarded as 'MTT brand CELEBRITIES'.
We looked forward as the pink and black-extremely tall celebrity walked through the doors of the resort. He, as always, held a microphone, and he smiled overly dramatically. The strobe lights shined on him, as monsters ran out of their rooms to see him.
"ALPHYS DARLING… AND UNDYNE…? WHY ARE YOU HERE," Mettaton gave me the strangest look as he noticed me. I frowned in annoyance as I knew the robot was trying to get more information out of me, like he always does.
"We're on an important mission, Mettaton. Now, we need you to get out of our way so we can continue," I crossed my arms and gave that robot the most amount of sass that I could muster. The robot raised his eyebrows and looked at me closer.
"WHAT IMPORTANT MISSION? I THOUGHT ASGORE WOULDN'T HAVE ASSIGNED YOU TO ANYTHING WHILE YOU'RE STILL HEALING," Mettaton pointed out my wound that I almost forgot about that was still bandaged up. I looked back at the robot and stepped closer to him, now really annoyed.
"It's my own mission, okay?" I spat at the robot. "Now I have to get the the surface. And as the ex-leader of the royal guard I demand you to move." Mettaton cued an audience gasp from the speakers and then looked at me mysteriously.
"U… Undyne… I-".
"ISN'T PAPYRUS LEADER OF THE ROYAL GUARD? DARLING… I'M AFRAID YOU MIGHT BE LEFT BACK IN THE OLD DAYS…" Mettaton smirked a little bit. I growled in annoyance when the robot decided to cue another gasp from the speakers.
"I am NOT! And Papyrus is stuck in the human hospital and he NEEDS MY HELP," I yelled at the robot and then realized my mistake. A real round of gasps and chatter filled the room, as Mettaton gasped dramatically, and turned the microphone back to me.
"TELL ME MORE, DARLING," The reporter smiled, his hair swishing back and forth in the "wind" he queued just seconds before.
"No."
"WHAT."
"I said no." I frowned, and walked around the robot as fast as humanly possible. Alphys briskly walked with me out of the hotel as Mettaton waved goodbye.
"REMEMBER TO FINISH IT, ALPHYS!" Mettaton shot us a cheeky smile as the door closed. Alphys shivered in the cold air, as I ran to the elevator. She followed me into the elevator, as I relaxed.
"That robot… he gets on my nerves," I sighed in relief, as I pressed the elevator button to get to the top of the core. "Also… what did he mean? What do you have to finish?" I asked Alphys. She glanced down at her feet before looking back up at me.
"I… He wants me finish his… his new um… 'outfit'...?" Alphys explained, while shuffling her feet. "I… I'm worried… that if I get it to him… he won't be my 'friend'" Alphys drooped. I frowned and looked down at her.
"Who wouldn't want to be your friend?" I smiled down at Alphys. Alphys blushed and smiled as the door opened, and we both briskly walked down the hallway to the next elevator. We clicked the button as we went up again, both of us silent. We walked down the grey corridor to the last elevator on our "mission", when Alphys stopped.
"I… I have some stuff to… to do at the lab," she looked at me hopeful. "B… but! I'll be b...back to the surface as soon as possible!" She smiled, her glasses bobbing up and down as she nodded.
"Okay! I'll see you then," I said as Alphys shuffled down the corridor. I stepped in the elevator, took a deep breath, and clicked the button.
I've always hated the elevator to the surface. It always takes unbelievably long, even more than the one before, and it always made strange noises as it went up. Supposedly the humans crafted this elevator as their "pinnacle of creation" and what not. Even though of it's "greatness", it still looked like the elevator before it was installed.
I still don't understand why humans don't install fire to everything they own. I mean, the annoying robot has a rocket powered jet pack shooting out of his rectangular butt; WHAT ABOUT ELEVATORS?
I smirked in laughter as I thought of the idea of rocket powered elevators shooting out of the ground and throwing grenades around (Another new invention from the humans! Buy one for only 100 gold!) so all of Chara's little henchmen run away and leave everyone to run to freedom.
And all from the GREAT UNDYNE who was SMART enough to think of the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING idea!
Scratch that. I'm not a nerd.
I sighed in relief as the elevator dinged and opened. I exited the elevator to see humans milling about, minding their own business. I shook my head to get myself back on task from elevators to wounded skeletons, and ran to the hospital.
I entered the hospital and (as humans say is more polite) walked to the front desk. There was a human sitting there with the most peculiar look on her face as if she was eating some sour candy. She looked from over her giant gold-studded glasses up to me, and puckered her lips once more.
"So. What do you want," she looked back to the computer, her pink dress barely touching the floor.
"I'm here to see Papyrus," I said confidently. She looked back at me, gazing at me right over her glasses as if she was a librarian.
"Which Papyrus," she said as she looked back to the computer once more. She started typing some words into the computer, as I began to sweat in annoyance.
"The Skeleton…?" I told the lady.
"Which Skeleton," she said. "Could you be more specific?" I frowned in annoyance as I catched a glint of realization in her eyes. She must know who I am… maybe because of Chara…? I clenched my fist in annoyance as I slammed my hand down onto the table.
"Okay Lady!" I hissed softly at the lady. "I want to see my friend, okay? He was wounded and I need to know he's okay. I'm pretty sure he's the only skeleton here, because I, out of all of the monsters in the Underground know both skeletons." The lady looked a little bit frightened because of my soft outburst, and she smoothed her skirt down.
"Which skeleton do you mean then?" she stopped looking at the computer and looked me straight in the eye.
"For the LOVE of GOD! The tall one!" I said furiously. She looked back at her computer and then puckered her lips again.
"Bring this young lady to room 513, Ronald," The lady said to a guy behind her in a different cubicle. The guy swung around, his red hair swooshing dramatically, and smiled.
"Okay!" Ronald cracked his knuckles and went to open the door. He smiled and waved, and I followed.
As we walked towards the room (which, of course, was at the very end of the hallway) I eyed something on Ronalds arm. I was metal, and that's all I could see… What was it? I coughed politely and smiled.
"Mr…?" I said. The human turned around, and looked at me. "I was wondered, what's on your arm…?" I pointed to the right arm that stayed tucked in his right pocket.
"Hmm…?" he frowned. "Oh! You must mean my arm," he took his arm out of his right pocket. He smiled, and shrugged. "It's just my arm…"
"Whoa!" I gaped. His arm wasn't a arm… it was this weird robotic thing that worked like a arm. Gears moved as he clenched his fist and unclenched it, and he slowly brought it back to his pocket. "That's so cool!" I looked up to the tall man in excitement. He smiled, and started to walk again.
"Glad you think it is," he frowned as he opened the door.
Papyrus was laying on the bed, still wearing his "battle" outfit. It was clear that it was hard for him to breath… you could hear every breath that he took. His bones were broken, and his skull was cracked… it was amazing that he was still alive. I gasped as I realized that Sans was still nowhere to be seen, as I realized I was still wearing Papyrus' scarf.
"Papyrus…?" I said to the tall skeleton whose eyes were shut. I quietly walked up to him and laid his red scarf across his body. I started walking out of the room, and I sighed.
"What have you become, Sans?" I said softly under my breath as I walked out of the room.
