Ello folks! Arana here!

Man I like this AU. Its neat. And also, I managed to update TLOTA:TSG so that's good. Also… random thing but I think Fresh!Sans (Creator is the Crayon Queen or loverofpiggies on Tumblr) would sing freaking Gangnam Style because, to me, it fits him so freaking well.

Do you wish to help me design some characters or places or even the cover of the story? Go ahead and do some art!

Now onto the story!

Chapter 8

The next room was… different. The paths to the levers literally had a form of parkour to them, seeing as one had to jump over water to get to platforms in the room. Where Frisk was standing was the normal Ruins floor, but beyond the first stream there were platforms, and likewise after the second stream. At the door leading out of the room there was the Ruins pathway once more.

"So, punk, there is another puzzle in this room," Undyne said with a smile. "Let's see if you can solve it." And with that, she dove into the water, swimming over to the other side of the room and climbing back onto solid ground.

For a moment, Frisk paused, studying the puzzle as she listened to Asriel and C'ara murmur to each other. For a moment, Frisk heard Asriel mention that this puzzle was rather… changed from when he last saw it. When he and the unawake Frisk had gone through here, it had only the streams of water, and was far easier than this.

Shrugging to herself, Frisk walked over to the edge of the pathway and hopped onto the nearest platform. At first it tilted under her weight, making Frisk rather uneasy as she thought that it would disappear under the water for a moment, but then steadied.

Frisk had half the mind to summon her soul to fly to the nearest lever, but realized, after a small tug at her soul, that she couldn't summon it at all. So, gathering up her strength, she jumped to the next platform, waiting for it to steady under her weight.

When she got to the nearest level, and tried to pull it, she realized it was either stuck, or not the thing she had to pull or push. Seeing as there were no chalk markings, Undyne most likely did not think to mark the right levers, Frisk assumed that the key to this part of the puzzle was somewhat hidden.

Looking about her, Frisk realized that the platform she was on tilted slightly. Frowning, as all the other platforms had steadied under her and then didn't tilt, she tested something. Leaning backwards a little bit, the platform tilted upwards, and a clicking sound was heard as Frisk steadied herself once more.

Smiling again, she jumped to the next platform, and then to the next, and then paused as she saw bubbles in the water in front of her. Suddenly, a spout of water rose above her head, spraying her, although not getting her too wet, with chilly water, before the water around her once more was peaceful.

Frowning, Frisk quickly jumped to the next platform, as the spout once more rose after she landed on it. For a moment, she stayed there, before jumping to the nearest dry land, which had the next two levers.

Once again, neither lever had chalk markings telling her that it was the one to pull. This time, Frisk checked about for anything that would be a third lever or a button, but after finding none, she tested each of the levers in front of her. Each were stuck, not budging an inch. Frowning, Frisk looked on the wall in between the two levers.

And found a small Delta Rune chiseled into the stone on a brick. Smiling, Frisk pressed her hand on that brick, watching as it went backwards into the wall as another click was heard. The spikes blocking the door to the next room darted under metal sheaths, clinking as they settled.

With a bright smile, Frisk jumped from platform to platform before once more landing on solid ground. But, she paused, as Undyne was missing. How'd the fish monster disappear without Frisk knowing?

Before Frisk could think of anything….

"Good job, punk!"

Frisk yelped, jumping, rolling, and then jumping into a defensive position at the sudden noise, expecting an attack. However, when Frisk saw Undyne's confused face, she relaxed.

"Sorry miss Undyne," Frisk said, this time not acting in her slight embarrassment. "I… got startled, and thinking I was going to be attacked, I got out of the line of fire or… I just reacted I guess."

All Undyne did was smile brightly for a moment. "It's fine, punk!" the fish monster said, beaming. "That kind of reaction will do you good down here, seeing as some monster will want to attack you since you're a human."

Frisk smiled back at the fish monster, happy that she had not revealed that much. She went to go into the next room, before looking back at Undyne.

Said monster was looking at the puzzle Frisk had just solved, scratching the back of her head as if slightly confused on it.

(Momma has an odd ability to remember passed Resets,) Asriel said with a slight snort. (Although it doesn't happen often, I bet we triggered it by doing the puzzle. Seeing how it wasn't like this last Reset, I bet she's slightly confused that its different.)

"Oh…" Frisk said with an inward sigh.

Then, she went into the next room, waiting for Undyne, who was merely moments behind her. When the fish monster got into the customary place, she turned to Frisk.

"As I said, monsters are going to attack you because you're a human. However, there is no need to FIGHT them, as we don't want to harm them or dust them," Undyne explained. "The best way to end a FIGHT without harming anyone is to ACT and talk it out. However, this might not work for some monsters. Luckily, each kind of monster you FIGHT will have different ACT options. Sometimes, however, you will have to spam MERCY, yes that is a term we use down here, spamming the buttons in FIGHTS, and *Spare them over and over until they realize that FIGHTing is not something that either party wishes to do.

"But, so you can learn how to use ACT here, practice on this dummy," Undyne finished.

Nodding with a smile, Frisk walked up to the dummy. The usual FIGHT happened, and Undyne was indeed there, although in the background.

[ACT]

*Check

(Dummy: ATT 0 DEF 0. The apple of my button eye,) Asriel murmured.

"*The dummy stands there," C'ara said, smiling.

Frisk concluded that they were both going to narrate things for her.

[ACT]

*Talk

(You talk to the dummy. … She doesn't seem to do much talking. Undyne seems pleased with you.)

"*You won! You earned 0 EXP and 0 Gold!"

The FIGHT ended, color returning to Frisk's world. Turning to Undyne, who was beaming, she smiled.

"Good work, punk!" Undyne laughed. "Now, let us continue!"
