(Howdy! I'm Carmike and I'm stoked you're reading UNDERCHANCE. Before we dive in, let's clear up a few things. First off, 'Undertale' isn't my brainchild - all credit goes to the amazing Toby Fox. Duh. And if you spot any Au's popping up, they're owned by their awesome creators. ANYHoo now that thats out of the way!
Ik ik this first chapter isn't exactly groundbreaking, but im tryna set the stage a little. I'm also toying with the idea of throwing in some Oc's later down the pipeline. I'm all ears if you've got any thoughts on that! That's about it, so kick back, relax and enjoy! Or don't, nobodys forcing you lol.)
Rushing water ran through the rivers of the now silent and eerie town of Waterfall, and right alongside them was the captain of the royal guard, Undyne.
Fully clad in armor and sprinting as fast as she could. Something was happening in Snowdin; there was no way to be sure of any danger yet, but something felt off.
The way to Snowdin seemed a lot longer than the captain had remembered it to be. She felt sluggish, like all of her running wasn't actually getting her anywhere. She came to a halt rather abruptly, clenching her fists so hard blood began to drip from them.
'What the hell is going on with me right now?!… I- I've gotta get my shit together!' Undyne shut her good eye tightly, and she could feel the sweat beading down her forehead.
Then, as she had steeled herself for a moment, her eye began to open back up…
"Wha- how did I?" She looked around frantically. Undyne had already made it to Snowdin. But it was quiet… too quiet.
"Hello!? Is everyone alright?!"
. . .
BUT NOBODY CAME.
UNDYNE FEELS SOMEONE ELSE'S SINS CRAWLING AT HER BACK.
"Found you punk!" shouted
The royal guard captain as she shifted around and stabbed out with her spear in an instant. Her eye started to look downward, just beneath the blade, to see a scared and crying Monster Kid.
"︎︎︎." A broken voice spoke.
"Huh?" Was all Undyne could blurt out before the shadowy black figure looming over the child came into focus. When she looked up to meet its eyes, the figure seemed to stretch taller and taller.
When she finally met with a pair of eyes on the creature, her mouth was agape. It was grotesque. Some kind of amalgamation made from what seemed like hundreds of other monsters.
The looks she met with were more than just one pair.
. . .
"︎︎︎︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎︎" Its voice distorted and echoed. One of the heads began creeping ever closer.
Undyne felt paralyzed, her eyeball wide open, staring at the skull before her.
It had two long cracks along its face, and as it got closer, they began to impossibly stretch into the space around, seemingly swallowing all of Snowdin.
UNDYNE FEELS THE CREATURE PEERING INTO HER SOUL.
Its black tendrils wrapped around her throat as she felt herself begin to panic. She knew this monster. Something about it... No.. Him. Something about him was so familiar.
"Agh.. Ahh! Let go!" Shouted Undyne as she felt the tendrils seep into her neck. The next thing to come out of her mouth was a scream of immense pain.
Ring-ring! Ring-ring! Ring-ring!
Undyne shot up from the bed with heavy breathing to the blaring alarm as the morning sun shined through the open window.
"Uh-Undyne!? Are- are you alright?" exclaimed an already awake Alphys.
Undyne didn't respond right away. She took a moment to catch her breath. 'That was.. waaay too real.' she thought as her hand traced the back of her neck.
"Um- Undyne?" Alphys stuttered.
"Huh? Oh, yeah! I'm totally fine, babe. Nothing to worry about!" But Alphys stayed silent. Undyne yawned and cracked her neck before hopping up.
"Damn! Ha! I thought I'd get used to that Sun by now, you know?" The heroine bravely smiled, trying to brush off the nightmare.
Alphys eventually broke her silence. "Undyne.."
"What?" she responded.
The Royal scientist pointed to her face. "Y-you're… c-crying." Undyne gave her a confused expression before looking over in the mirror.
She was right. For the first time in a long while…
She was crying.
(Hey again ;) glad you made it to the end! Sooooo!! What did you think? Got any notes for me? Things you wanna see, or think I could have done better?! Anyway thanks so much for reading, it means a lot to me. Felt like I had to start writing an undertale fanfic once my now official second ut phase started setting in. AND YES THIS UNDYNE HAS BOTH EYES! No crazy differences from the Og universe yet but… hehe we'll see what shenanigans I get up to. So some of the Wingdings went missing by adding it here :()
