I turned and I walked the opposite direction. Hotlands, boy even the name sounds like a load of fun. I went through an entrance and saw why they call it the Hotlands. Lava was everywhere, the land I stood on was 100 feet above it. It was sweltering. Already tired, I needed water. I came across a water fountain that you would find at work office.
Without hesitation I grabbed a cup and filled it with water. I was taking it up to my lips when a voice spoke behind me.
"D-don't drink that!" She said quickly.
I whipped around to see a small, yellow dinosaur like creature standing before me. She was about the height of Sans. And wore glasses and a lab coat. She was definitely a scientist. No doubt.
"Why?" I asked, really wanting to drink the water.
"T-t-the water here is filled with chemicals that help monsters be healthy in a hot environment." She answered. "Also it's poisonous to humans."
I dropped the cup. That sounded fishy, and not in the Undyne kind of way. Heh heh heh. I stared at the scientist, she seemed to be lying.
"H-here, come to my lab and I'll give you some real water." She said grabbing my arm.
Quickly, we walked to this gigantic building that said 'LAB' and the monster opened the door.
"I'm Alphys by the way." She said as I walked in.
"Names Favian." I said mesmerized at the things I saw walking in. The first thing I saw was a giant TV. When I saw who was on it, I had questions. It was me. Before I could say anything, Alphys spoke up.
"I've been watching you progress through the Underground. Haven't you noticed the cameras?" she asked.
"Nope, I hadn't." I replied.
"Oh." She said.
It got awkward that quickly.
"So you've seen every move I've made?" I asked.
"Yep!" She replied.
"So you saw my mistakes too." I said.
"Favian, it's ok, everyone makes mistakes. Besides, they are helping with my expie-" She cut herself off. "A-anyway, let's get you that water. Feel free to look around if you want."
I saw that there was some kind of escalators leading upstairs. I took them up. Upstairs, there was some cool inventions that I had never seen before. I looked at some books, when I opened them, instead of science stuff I was greeted with anime comics. I couldn't help myself and laughed. I took the book downstair. Alphys was coming back with the water.
When Alphys saw what I had she dropped the water and ran at me. She took the anime away as fast as she could.
"Don't you dare tell anyone about this." She hissed.
"Don't worry, I'm actually a big anime fan myself." I replied.
"Really? What shows?" She said, eyes aglow.
"Well, mostly the violent adventure ones like One Punch Man, or One Piece, or Dragon Ball."
"Wow." She said amazed.
She stared at me for a few moments. Who could blame her. I looked like one of those guys straight out of those animes. With my long spiky red hair, and bandana. Plus my cool looks and anime liking. I must have been the dream guy for Alphys.
"Wou-would you like to stay and watch some." She mustered still staring at me.
Before I could answer, someone busted through the door.
"Oh Alphys darling! I'm here for my new upgrades!" A robot came rolling in. I saw it was the same one that Papyrus and I had watched on TV. Mettaton. That weird square shaped robot with one wheel, two arms and one heck of a personality. She (atleast I think it was a she) saw me and froze.
"Oh my! A human! This day gets better and better! Just think how many viewers will tune in just to watch you die!" She exclaimed jubilantly clapping her hands. "Oh the drama! The violence! The fashion! All in front of a TV audience!"
I looked at her in disbelief. Before I could object though, Mettaton had grabbed a microphone.
"Lights! Camera! Action!" She yelled to seemingly no one. Yet a spotlight appeared on her and the lights went out. "Welcome, to the Quiz Show… of DEATH!"
"Whoa whoa whoa! Wait! This is happening now!?" I said surprised at the sudden turn of events.
"Things happen fast here in the Underground, dearie, better keep up! Now, the rules of the show is that you must answer a multiple choice question correctly in 20 seconds. If you answer it wrong. DEATH!" Mettaton laughed as she spoke.
Again before I could say anything , Mettaton cut me off.
"First question! What is a property of matter? A. Dogs B. Things and Stuff C. Inertia or D. Mettaton." She asked.
I had no clue what she was talking about. I started worrying before I saw Alphys sneak behind Mettaton. She wave that the answer was C. I said C and I was right. Throughout the quiz show Alphys gave me the answer seemingly without Mettaton noticing. She did though, as the last question was aimed to embarrass her.
"Last question. Who is Alphys biggest crush? A. Asgore C. Undyne "
I looked at Alphys. She begged me not to answer. Heck if I knew who she liked. To spare any embarrassment Alphys might of get. I answered the only name I could think of.
"Me!" I said with a awesome pose.
"Wrong! That's not even an answer! Thus, as punishment for the wrong answer… DEATH!" Mettaton yelled.
Walls of fire appeared on each side of the lab. They started slowly coming towards me.
"WHY DO YOU HAVE WALLS OF FIRE IN YOU LAB ALPHYS?!" I yelled to Alphys.
"I-I was going to have them un-installed! Sorry!" She yelled back.
There seemed to be no way out, so I turned to Mettaton.
So yeah, it appears Alphys was good at not telling the truth before her experiments hit the fan. By the way, all of this story is pre-written. I'm just taking my time making sure I don't have any mess ups. This actually took a couple months to write.
