I woke up, and basically flipped out of bed, grabbed my clothes, pulled my armor on, and realized that it was 3:00 in the morning and nobody would be awake yet.
I resolved that since I got up so early, that I should train. But then I realized that I was too tired to see my two feet in front of me, and I ended up sleeping until 11:00 in the morning, which was a better time to go outside and slay children.
Now that I look back, I should've murdered the child at night when I got up the first time. You know, the usual night murder you hear about in anime and other manga horror stories, that you find out about about when your friend (Alphys) drags you over by the hair to their house late at night just to binge-watch anime. Then she kicks you out of her lab-house to run as fast as humanly possible scared of any living creature around you, and collapse on your own bed scared for your life.
Boy, that was a good time.
But the next time I woke up, I started to grab everything I would need during the day and I realized that I fell asleep in my armor.
No wonder I was uncomfortable.
I started to walk out of the house, and I thought that I forgot to cover up the burns on my arm and then I realized that had my armor on and I didn't have to cover it up anyway.
"Un...undyne? What are you doing w...with armor on?" Alphys asked, concerned.
"N-Nothing!" I said, swinging around to face her.
"U… Undyne, stop lying," She narrowed her eyes at me.
You have to lie, The voice persisted, and it sounded worried.
You can't tell me what to do, I thought back to the voice, almost yelling.
"W… Wait, what?" Alphys echoed, looking at me, confused. I instantly realized that I said that whole thing out loud.
"Oh crap," I paled.
"You mean, Oh carp," Alphys pointed out a horrible pun, and I groaned in annoyance. "You've have a lot of things you have to explain, Undyne."
"... Yeah, sorry about that…" I scratched the back of my neck, and realized that I had burns there and winced in slight pain.
"A… and the fact you were w...wearing bandages all around today, and s...said it was my idea t...to Asgore," Alphys raised one of her eyebrows at me, curiously.
"He told you?!" I gaped at Alphys.
"Of course he did," Alphys said without stuttering.
"Fine. Let me take my armor off and sit down," I frowned, and sighed in inconvenience.
DON'T YOU DARE TELL HER, The voice screamed. ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, UNDYNE.
I tend to do things my own way, I noted to the voice, as a headache started throbbing softly. I shook it off, and took off my armor to show my usual everyday clothes. Alphys was sitting at the table, and I walked over and sat across from her. I put my arm out on the table, and delicately peeled off the bandages to show the burns below.
"U... UNDYNE?!" Alphys shreaked in horror. I looked up at her in pain, scared of what she thought of what I was hiding.
"Yeah… that… It goes down my back and down my legs too. T… Theres a lot of it on my feet…" I sighed in both relief and pain as the voice started screaming in my head again, making a huge headache that throbbed painfully whenever I talked.
"W...what have you been doing to y...yourself?" Alphys looked up at me, very concerned.
"Nothing. It hasn't been me. Heck no, I would never jump into a pot of acid, yet I have acid burns on my arms and I have no idea why," I paused. "And then, the soul thing. I think it's all the result of the soul, and… I can talk... to the soul... in my mind… and-"
"W...Why did you not t...tell this to me?"
"I… It…"" I started to say when the headache grew so bad that I had to hold my head in my hands.
"U...Undyne, what's wrong?!" Alphys looked at me with the concerned look she always gave me whenever I ran out of the house or whenever I made her feel bad because she thought "she wasn't good enough for me." But, interestingly, she might be the one who has been keeping me mentally stable.
"I… It told me n… not to t...tell you anything, a...and I t...trusted it but i..it-" I stuttered in pain. I rested my head on the table, tears running down my face in grief and pain.
"U… Undyne," Alphys stood up and walked around the table to me.
"J...ust wanted to make y...you feel a...alone and I d...dont want that-" The pain grew progressivly work.
"Undyne," Alphys said, and put her hand on my shoulder.
"A...and the dreams t...they hurt I… I hate them… b...ut they won't s...stop…" I said, now full out crying, and Alphys hugged me.
"U...Undyne, its fine," Alphys smiled.
"W...why?" I stuttered.
"Because you a..actually told me w...what was going on. I knew t..that something was up from the start, and I knew you didn't like whatever it w...was," Alphys stuttered. "I… I was worried."
"..." I thought quietly as the battle roared in my head.
"I'm s...sorry," I said, hugging Alphys and resting my face on her head. We sat there, breathing in unison for a second, letting our heartbeats be as one for a little while.
You have to stop this happy stuff. It's not going to HELP because there's-
Be quiet. I'm enjoying being myself for once, I thought to myself, happily. Alphys withdrew from the embrace and looked up at me.
"I… I'm sorry, Alphys," I told her sincerely. Alphys smiled for a second and then looked at me seriously.
"W… why were you in your armor, Undyne," Alphys looked at me, very concerned. I hesitated, and then realized that I had to tell her to truth.
"I was going to kill the kid, Chara. H...He killed my parents," Alphys looked shocked. "I...I only just realized that and-"
"Y...You're staying in this house, from now on," Alphys said seriously. I gaped at her serious expression, and she didn't change her look on her face once.
UNDYNE LISTEN TO ME, The voice screamed. I quickly winced because of the pain that went through my head.
I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! I TOLD YOU!, The voice screamed in a sort of hysterical happiness. I winced again, as the screaming stopped.
Oh, sorry. Okay so this is what you have to do:, The voice told me.
You have to go the last corridor in front of the king's castle, and like go there right now. Chara has a horrible plan and you need to stop him, right now. I started to panic, but then the voice continued: But don't panic. There's windows all around you, and you don't have time to get your armor. Try doing the "going to the bathroom" trick that Papyrus always uses to get out of your lessons.
Wait is that why he does that? I thought, curious.
Maybe. I still haven't figured out. I mean, he's a skeleton and I have no idea if- The voice stopped awkwardly as I realized what it was about to say.
...yeahhhh, I thought back, awkwardly.
"Uh… Undyne?" Alphys asked awkwardly.
"Hmm, oh yeah, sorry about that. And, uh ill stay in the house." I suggested.
"... Okay," Alphys said in a unconvincing way. I smiled and stood up tenderly on my feet, and went to walk upstairs to the bathroom. As I walked inside, I closed and locked the door, and checked with the voice quickly about what we were doing.
Okay so do I just go out of the window, or what? I asked, and waited a decent 3 seconds when I realized that the window was open, and I could plain just go out the window. I launched myself stealthily to the tree, and quickly and quietly stepped down branch by branch to the cold fall ground. I snuck through the forest, until I was close enough to the elevator in the middle of the road so I could run to it. I tried to cover the burns as I slid across the road to the elevator, and slammed the button.
Darn. I forgot to remind you to put the bandages on. Sorry about that. The voice said.
It's cool. I thought, and smiled as the elevator lurched down to the underground. I leaned against the side of the elevator, letting myself breathe a little bit even though my heart was beating as fast as a drum.
What's your name, anyway? I asked the voice.
My name? The voice echoed.
Yeah, you must have a name, right? I questioned, and the voice paused for a secound before answering:
You can just call me Two. The voice answered, quieter than usual.
That's a interesting name… I commented, and Two seemed to cheer up a little more. I exited the elevator and ran as fast as possible to the hallway, and slid into the hallway to the throne room where I saw two unexpected guests fighting.
Chara and Flowey? What are they doing here? I wondered.
Don't trust Flowey, Undyne, Two recommended.
But I have to kill Chara. I protested. Two sighed in annoyance.
You know what's happened when you don't go with my plans. Two breathed out steadily.
"FOR THE LOVE OF THE DELTA RUNE, UNDYNE, JUST DON'T STAND THERE!
HELP ME OUT!" Flowey panted, while dodging an attack from the kids knife. Flowey summoned some bullets and chucked them at the kid, while Chara ran down the hallway, and turned right into the Throne Room. I ran after Chara, as Two made a overly annoyed sound.
Are you serious? Are you defying me again?! Two seemed very annoyed.
The more you ask that, the more I will, I smirked as I launched myself at Chara. Chara ran and stumbled, and hid behind the throne as if I didn't see them. I summoned some spears behind the throne, and Chara ran to in front of the throne, panting. I quickly noticed another spear straight through the circle in the Delta Rune, and I shivered at the thought of that being there during our fight.
Hey, Two, do you know anything about the spears? I asked, curious.
They were placed there right before the last reset, and haven't been activated… Two tried to explain, but I was still confused.
Whats a reset? I asked.
Nevermind. You won't understand. The voice gave up as I quickly side stepped Chara's attack, and Flowey hit the kid with a vine making him almost slam into the wall. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Frisk run into the room, with a worried look on their face.
"Well look who it is," Flowey smirked. Frisks previously tense face lessened when they saw the Flower, as Chara looked at Frisk menacingly. Frisk pointed at me and then at Chara, and shook their head ferociously.
"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't spare the demon, you know, Frisk," Flowey seemed to hiss at the child. I started hearing a scraping noise, as I suddenly noticed that the two doorways at either side of the room were being covered up by thorny vines just like the ones that poisoned me on Mount Ebott months before. I yelped as a figure jumped through the hole, just as the thorns closed.
"FLOWEY YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR," The figure yelled. I blinked my eyes, and instantly recognized the figure.
ME? I blinked in confusion. Both Frisk and Chara looked overly confused, while Flowey looked at us both in his usual happy expression.
"Have I? I told you what you needed to do last reset," Flowey chuckled, as this other me griminced. "Undyne, isn't it obvious, you failed. Your little clone did not obey what you said, and therefore what I said before will happen, just as I said!" Flowey laughed evilly, and the other me summoned some spears, and attempted to hurt Flowey. I frowned and blocked the other Undyne's spears, and she looked at me, clearly pissed off.
"I told you about the spears, Undyne. You should destroy Flowey," The other Undyne seethed. I blinked, still shocked, as she facepalmed.
"SNAP OUT OF IT, PARTNER," The other Undyne snapped. "I told you what you had to do, and you didn't do it, and I know what I'm talking about." It took me a couple seconds to realize who I was talking to.
"Two?! You were me all along?" I gaped. Two nodded, and looked back at Flowey.
"What's your plan this time, huh?" Two said in a sort of hatred. "What's your big-"
Suddenly, I heard a swish of a knife and the sound of scattering dust. I jumped as I saw Two die into a pile of dust and blood, with Chara behind her.
"YOU," I growled in anger.
"Me?" The child laughed insanely. "What about 'me'?"
"YOU KILLED TWO," I said angrily from a sort of anger that came straight from my soul.
"Yes, and?" Chara smiled evilly.
"AND YOU KILLED MY PARENTS," My hands shook in pain and shock. Chara laughed at my obvious anger, and I started to walk forward when I realized…
I can't move. I glanced down at my feet, which were tangled up in vines that snuck up on me, and I frantically went to summon spears from my outstretched hand. Suddenly, thick vines wrapped around my hand, and I pulled on them but they wouldn't budge.
"WHAT THE HECK, FLOWEY?" I growled at the Flowey. Flowey laughed in amusement, and both Frisk and I glared back.
"You're not supposed to tear yourselves apart yet, Undyne. I have to explain something first," Flowey chuckled, his face spreading into a horrifying wide grin.
"Undyne, I have to say I find it hilarious that you would fall right into my trap," Flowey laughed. "I thought that you would remember me, and do what I told you to do. But nooo, that 'double' of you had all of your memories, and fell write into my hands! If you were to be smarter to realize that I knew you and I slipped that fact multiple times to you during when we wrote those stupid maps, then maybe you wouldn't have failed!"
"But being as inconsistant as you are, you just went on life as if you weren't getting burned and hurt by numerous 'dreams' that you have had for the past, what, year or so? You only just told Alphys, didn't you? Kid, you have to understand that I have no soul and no compassion, so why the heck would I care if you're hurt?"
"I don't care. And that's the thing you're missing." Flowey's vines slowly curled up tightly around my legs until it was hard for me to feel them. "You thought I was your 'friend'. My question to you, is why in the world would I become friends with a fish?" Flowey paused for a second. Fear creeped up my shoulder, and I struggled violently to get out with no prevail. "... My vines are as strong as metal, Undyne. You can't win," Flowey commented.
"So if you wanted me dead, then why didn't you let me die in the ruins?" I retorted. Flowey smirked in the way I always did in the Underground, and tightened his grip on my arms.
"Because I knew how the timeline would plan out since I've seen it once before! I know what to change to get to my goal, now that the resets restart when you all exit the underground. But now since you've been remembering resets and what happened before, I've needed to change my plan," He started to swing around to Frisk, when I commented:
"I don't remember anything, Flowey. What are resets?" I asked as politely as I could in this situation. Flowey looked at me, one of his 'eyebrows' raised, and slithered over to me.
"You dont remember?" Flowey laughed.
"I.. I don't-"
…
"How did you gain so much determination?" I heard a voice. I opened my eyes to see Flowey looking up at me, in the same situation as before. I struggled, refusing to answer, as Flowey's deadly poison seeped into my veins.
"I… I don't know," I answered, and I truly meant it. I had no idea how in the world I was in the situation that I was in, but still he didn't care. There was more spears littered on the floor than there was before, 13 spears to be exact, but still Flowey was uninjured and menacing.
"How about this. I'll give you a redo. You clearly failed this timeline, and now that you have that power you can reset," Flowey offered. I instantly nodded, my vision blurry, and the thorns came out of my skin and the fuzziness stopped.
"There is two rules, however:"
"You must kill everyone in your next timeline," Flowey chuckled.
"No nononono," I shook my head in pain.
"And if you don't kill them, your own spears will activate and kill them all," Flowey hysterically laughed. "It's not that hard! You're a monster and you know it! You killed many children before, and why not end all of their suffering now?" Flowey continued. I shook my head in anger.
"Because I'm not a bad person," I seethed.
"NOT A BAD PERSON? You make me laugh, Undyne. You realize that all of humanity thinks that you're going to kill them at any moment, right?" Flowey chuckled.
"I know that," I answered.
"And you're not going to follow that? I mean, there's no reason not to," Flowey smiled. I sighed in annoyance.
"Just show me the damned reset screen already," I groaned in pain. I felt the vines release me and I fell into a dark void. I slowly stood up and looked around, noticing that this was just like my Sans dream from a while ago, and also from the more recent death dream. I turned around and noticed two buttons; one that said reset and one that said continue.
I pressed reset two times…
…
"I remember," I seethed in annoyance. Flowey laughed and winked.
"I knew you would," Flowey said and slithered away. Flowey went over to Frisk, who was trembling but still amazingly calm.
"Why the hell does Undyne have the determination?" Flowey asked, his eyes soulless pits of black. Frisk trembled now in fear more than determination, and shook their head.
*I only realized that Undyne gained my powers when she reset, Frisk said quietly. Flowey narrowed his eyes at them, and then turned to me.
"So if you really remember, you know what will happen?" Flowey chuckled. I growled and pulled on the vines so I could look at Flowey right in the face.
"You better not," I hissed under my voice. Flowey turned around and laughed, and slowly made his way to the throne.
"Golly, you look so mad," Flowey smiled with his happy face again. "But as I always say, in this world…"
"It's kill or be killed."
As soon as he said that, small gaping holes appeared in the wall, showing 11 of the 13 different spears. I quickly noticed that it showed each of my friends doing their usual everyday tasks near the spears, just as Flowey predicted.
"No! NO YOU CANT!" I yelled, tears slowly running down your face.
*I'll see you next reset, Frisk was crying too, across the room. It was clear that the spear in the king's garden which was right near my feet would hit them. I stretched to try and move it so it didn't hit them, but my leg was around a inch away from the stick.
Suddenly, the spears blazed with energy. I suddenly realized that there was nothing I could do. I was stuck. I was hurt.
I was not determined.
Before the spears reached their max power, I looked at the holes that showed my friends that I thought as family, and watched them do what they usually did everyday one last time.
Grillby was cleaning his cups that the people drank out of with a slightly burnt cloth. Napstablook was floating near some rocks in the forest, crying. Asgore and Toriel were eating butterscotch pie. The dragon dude that I trained was also in the forest, and talking to his best friend. Mettaton was in one of the human's house, and giving them a hug.
Tears started flowing out of my eyes faster.
The kid, Tristan, was wandering on the top of Mount Ebott. Tem was wandering around his village. Sans was in the fun room, looking at a wall and sleeping while standing up.
Papyrus was in the hospital, gazing at the ceiling. He seems to be the only one actually ready to die, being all solitude like he is.
And Alphys…
Alphys
Alphys was helping the Greater Dog with a thorn it its paw. She poked out the thorn and The Greater Dog whimpered, but she pat his head nonetheless. The Greater Dog quickly sighed and-
The spear went straight through its chest and speared Alphys. I gasped in horror as they all turned to dust, and I glanced to either side of me to see both Chara and Frisk do the same. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, and seeing all of the blood and the dust didn't help.
"So how was that?" Flowey laughed.
"You're fucking sick" I growled.
"Language, Undyne," Flowey winked and tightened his vines even more to the point that I felt that I would explode.
"Fuck you," I yelled. Flowey completely ignored what I said, and turned around to look at the ashes of what was left.
"You understand that if you continue, everyone is going to blame it on you?" Flowey chuckled again, and I clenched my hands.
"I understand," I said through my clenched teeth.
"So you can reset, and then do what I want, right?" Flowey stuck his tongue out. "Kill everyone, and then you get to be happy with who you really are."
"Fine," I growled. "Just let me reset already, okay?"
"You have to do it yourself, remember? I can't reset anymore," Flowey shrugged. "Have fun passing the time there."
"#!&$! *#&$!* #&$ ARE YOU SERIOUS?" I yelled in both annoyance and pure hatred.
"Golly, you look mad," Flowey said as he popped into the ground and went away.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PAIN THE THE F'N ASS," I yelled, but nothing came out of the ground. I screamed and struggled but nothing happened. I just stayed there, but nothing happened. I focused all of my thoughts to this reset thing but nothing happened.
I blinked quickly, and something changed. I was in a black room that I remembered before, and there was two buttons just like before: Reset and Continue. I quickly faced the reset button, and reached out to click it.
I clicked it 1...2...3….4…..5
6...7
8
9….10
11
12
13
My hand then disappeared into darkness.
