"It sounds like it came from over here… Oh! You've fallen down, haven't you… Are you okay? Here, get up… … Chara huh? That's a nice name. My name is…"
"Chara?" Friak asked before wincing and getting to her feet before looking around and seeing she was at the bottom of a waterfall and in the middle of a bed of flowers. "What, how'd I… Oh that's right, she said there was only one way forward. I guess this is what she meant."
Frisk just took a slow breath before turning and walking through the water as she looked at the different piles of garbage all around her before eventually reaching another dummy like the one from the Ruins as she smiled at the memory before moving past the dummy only to pause as the dummy suddenly reappeared in front of her.
"Hahaha… Too intimidated to fight me, huh!?" the dummy questioned causing Frisk to blink in shock. "I am a ghost that lives inside a DUMMY. My cousin used to live inside a DUMMY, too. Until…"
"Your cousin?" Frisk asked before her eyes widened. "You mean…"
"Silence!" the dummy shouted. "Until you came along. When you talked to them, they thought they were in for a nice chat… but the things you said…!"
"I was just trying…" Frisk started only for several other dummies to emerge from the water.
"Shocking, horrible, terrifying!" the dummy continued while ignoring Frisk. "It spooked them right out of their dummy! HUMAN! I'll scare your SOUL out of your body!"
The moment the dummy said that it floated into the air as the other dummies began glowing as some of them shot magic at Frisk which she barely dodged only to notice one of the blasts hit the dummy that was talking to her.
"Ow… Hey you guys watch where you're aiming your Magic Attacks." The dummy snapped.
"Please stop, I don't want to fight you." Frisk said only for more of the dummies to fire magic at her as she dodged and the first dummy was hit again. "Please stop, you're getting hurt."
The dummy ignored Frisk and the other dummies continued shooting magic at her as she uncertainly dodged only to wince as she saw the attacks continue to hit the dummy.
"Hey you guys!" the dummy called angrily as the other dummies stopped attacking. "Remember what I told you about not hitting me? Well… You're all fired!"
Frisk's eyes widened in shock as the dummies sadly sunk back under the water only for more robotic looking dummies to emerge.
"Hahahaha, now you'll see my real power. Relying on people that aren't garbage."
"They aren't garbage." Frisk told the dummy.
"Quiet!" the dummy shouted. "Dummy-bots, Magic Missiles!"
Frisk looked down sadly only to gasp when the missiles started following her as she barely managed to stay away from them only for one of the missiles to hit the dummy.
"Please, I don't want you to be hurt." Frisk pleaded with the dummy only for it to just glare at her as the dummy-bots continued firing missiles at her and inadvertently hitting the dummy.
"Dummy-bots! Final attack." the dummy called as all of the dummy-bots launched missiles at Frisk simultaneously causing her to try and dodge only for some of the missiles to hit her.
"Stop, I have to reach the king its…" Frisk started only for the dummy to start flying around angrily.
"No way, no way, no way! These guys are even worse than the last guys." the dummy complained. "Oh well, it doesn't matter. I don't need friends, I have knives."
As the dummy said that a knife floated up before flying towards Frisk causing her to cry out and dive to the ground as the knife passed inches over her head.
"I'm… out of knives. Well it doesn't matter; you can't hurt me and I can't hurt you. You'll be stuck here fighting me forever! Forever!" the dummy cried before starting to laugh only for drops of water to hit it causing it to wince in pain. "Huh, what the? Acid rain? Oh forget this, I'm out of here."
With that the dummy flew off as a timid looking ghost floated up to Frisk. "Oh, I'm sorry, you looked like you were having fun with your friend and I just made him leave."
Frisk weakly got to her feet and shook her head. "It's ok Napstablook, are you ok?"
"I was just heading home, you're welcome to come, that is if you want to." Napstablook offered before floating off.
Frisk looked down thoughtfully before nodding. "I should probably let him know what I'm going to do."
With that thought Frisk followed Napstablook to his house.

"SANS, DO YOU THINK FRISK HAS REACHED THE END OF WATERFALL YET?" Papyrus inquired curiously.
"probably not, even if she was going quickly with what Undyne said… Frisk won't be getting past her anytime soon." Sans answered. "then again, she's a strong kid so maybe she's just going a bit more slowly because she thinks…"
He turned to Toriel who was looking down hearing that. "No, you're probably right, it's just hard to think about such a kind young girl wanting…"
Suddenly they all paused as they heard Frisk's voice.
"HUMAN FRISK?" Papyrus inquired looking around only for Sans to frown.
"it was just an Echo Flower Paps." Sans told him as they walked up to it.
"The war of humans and monsters. That's not true, the real monsters are up there. Everyone down here, they deserve to be happy." the Echo Flower said in Frisk's voice. "Why did you have to die Chara, you were the only person I had in the entire world. You must have wanted to help them, so that's what I'm going to do. Then we can be together again big sis, just wait for me ok?"
"Frisk…" Toriel whispered as she started tearing up. "My poor child."
"WE MUST SHOW HER THAT SHE HAS PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT HER!" Papyrus stated. "DO NOT WORRY YOUR MAJESTY, I ASSURE YOU WE WILL BE THERE FOR FRISK!"
Toriel just nodded. "Thank you Papyrus. I just hope we reach her in time."
"we will, don't worry." Sans reassured her.
(Frisk has managed to get farther into Waterfall thanks to Undyne's aide and reunited with a friend she made in the Ruins named Napstablook. Next chapter Frisk will reveal her true identity to Napstablook and continue moving through the Underground. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
