Chapter 2: WindWalker Awakens

Iffy awakens hours later to see Compa talking on the phone Toriel gave her. Compa spots Iffy waking up, "Iffy, Ms. Tori has been calling you to let you know about something. I had a couple of nice chats with her until a doggy stole her phone."

Iffy gets up and checks her phone, "Well, kinda hard to receive a call from someone when their phone is off. Compa, I am going to ask you again, why you gave Toriel my phone number?"

Compa looks apologetic, "I am sorry, Iffy" She looks down for a moment but then notices Iffy begin to walk off, "Wait? Where are you going?"

Iffy continues walking as she says, "I am exploring. I don't want to be trapped here, and I looked at my phone and, I was asleep for at least four or five hours. We need to get back to Gamindustri and back to our friends."

Compa looked at Iffy, worried, "But Miss Tori said to stay here."

Iffy chuckles and beckons Compa to follow, "Compa, it will be fine. We need to get home to Gamindustri, and I assume Gears and Nep are beginning to wonder what happened to us."

"Ok." Compa nervously replied.

Iffy checks her phone and raises her eyebrow, "I got several missed calls from Toriel."

Iffy clicked the voicemail that was left behind. "Hello, this is Toriel. I hope you have not left that room. There are puzzles up ahead that I have not explained, and they could be dangerous. Alright then, be good." The message ends.

Iffy stares at the message for a moment. Suddenly, she began to laugh, "I can not believe what I am about to do right now!"

Compa asked innocently, "What? What are you saying?"

Iffy turns and smiles mischievously, "What I am saying is that I am going to pull a Nep and throw caution to the wind! We need to get out of the underground and back to our home Gamindustri. The longer we sit here, the more our friends will worry"

Compa laughed at Iffy's outburst, "That news coming from you!"

Iffy rolls her eyes, "Come on, Compa" Iffy looks around, and then she spots a beautiful light above the leaves, "Whoa, Compa look at this! This thing is nuts" Iffy walks to this strange light.

Compa blinks in confusion, for she does not see what Iffy sees, "Iffy, it is just a pile of leaves."

Iffy looked at Compa, "Wait, you do not see the freaking glowing light in the middle of the room?"

Compa looked at Compa with a quite worried tone, "Ummm, Iffy, you are beginning to scare me!"

Iffy puts her hands around the glowing star and feels all her strength coming back to her. She finds herself laughing and playfully crinkling leaves. "I think this is some kind of save point, Compa!"

Compa goes to check Iffy's head, "Ohh no! Did you hit your head really hard? I am wondering if you did because you are really, really, really freaking me out?"

Iffy chuckled softly, "Sorry to worry you there. I guess I got filled up with some determination on getting home, but I don't understand… you know what your right, I might have hit my head pretty hard, but I guess there is no harm walking it off."

Compa Sighed, "Just don't push yourself."

Suddenly a small monster meekly starts buzzing in and unintentionally spooks Compa, which in turn, spooked the monster. "Yikes!" Compa yelled

Iffy draws her blades and tries to intimidate them, "Shoo! Get the hell out of here, Whimsun!"

"Aiiieee! It knows my name!" Whimsum buzzes around in an absolute panic and begins to hyperventilate.

Iffy blinks in confusion, "I… I don't know how I knew that"

Compa yells, "Iffy! You are scaring him!"

"How did I know its name?" Iffy pondered.

Compa walks over to Whimsun with a gentle smile, "It is ok, Mr. Fly Monster we…" Suddenly Whimsun broke into tears and flew away, leaving Compa speechless, "He flew away from me."

Iffy shakes her head in disbelief, "What kind of monster be terrified of you?"

Compa sweats and nervously laughed, "Iffy, I think that one on you."

Iffy taps her fingers together and chuckles, "Ok! Fair point, let us just keep going. Huh, there's a fork in the road; you check out this hall, and I will check out the far hall."

Compa pumps her fist in the air, "Alright!" She happily skips into the room and sees a bowl of candy on a pedestal, "Oooo, Candy!" She cheerfully rushes to the bowl and reads the sign, "Awwww, it says to only take one! Well, I guess I take one for me and one for Iffy." She takes only two pieces of candy and skips back in the direction she came from.

Iffy waited on the second exit, "So that was a dead end?"

"Just a room with a bowl of candy on a pedestal," Compa replied as she gives a piece of candy to Iffy.

Iffy with a confused expression just take the candy and then resolves herself to focus, "Okay, come on, I found a way out of here" They calmly walk through a hallway, and then suddenly, the floor cracks opens from below them, "Huh What?"

The floor busts open from below, and Compa screams, "We're falling!" Both girls land on a pile of leaves, and Compa blinks, "huh, that was not a long fall?"

Iffy looks up, "Looks like an eight to ten feet fall we did, and a convenient pile of leaves broke our fall. Hey, there's a doorway."

They walked through the doorway, and it teleported the girls past the broken floor from the hallway they fell from. Compa looks around utterly confused, "Huh… we are here now? I am so confused now."

Iffy shrugs, "This is so weird how this place works. I swear this is like the twilight zone." They walked into another room with a boulder and a switch. Iffy smirks, "Oh ho! This looks easy! I got this!"

Compa's phone rings, "Hey, Ms. Tori calling!"

Iffy walks to the boulder, "Go ahead and see what she wants."

Compa nods and answers the phone while Iffy pushes the massive rock into its position, "Hello!"

Toriel from the phone announces herself, "Hello, this is Toriel. I finally got my phone back from that dog that took it earlier."

Compa cheers over the phone, "Hooray for Ms. Tori! Teehee!"

Toriel laughs over the phone, "You are such a sweet girl. Anyways for no particular reason, would you prefer cinnamon or butterscotch?"

"I like butterscotch!" Compa replied

"Alright then." Toriel hangs up.

Iffy comes back with her breathing slightly labored, "All done! The way is clear now."

"Yay!" Compa points both fists in the air with sheer enthusiasm and spirit.

Iffy gestures for Compa to follow until they hear the phone ring again, "I am guessing Toriel again? Well, let us see what she wants this time as we walk."

Compa answers the phone, and Toriel comes through, "You do not dislike cinnamon? You would not turn your nose on if it was presented to you?"

Compa Chuckles as Iffy groans as she spots a floor puzzle with cracks on all the floor, "I mean, I don't mind cinnamon, and Iffy loves cinnamon!"

Iffy stomps her feet, "It is a hidden secret path puzzle, man I hate these types of puzzles."

Toriel overhears Iffy, and began to question Compa, "Let me guess, Iffy decided to leave that room, and you followed, didn't you?"

"Yes," Compa replied nervously.

Toriel sighs, "That is very reckless, you know?"

Compa giggles, "She is like my friend Nep-Nep at times."

Toriel asks "Nep-Nep?"

"Nep-Nep is our bestest friend, and she is from where we came from, and she is the hero of Gamindustri, and so is Ge-Ge her sister!" Compa replied.

Toriel let out a soft chuckle, "Wow, so the overworld is now called Gamindustri? I remembered the time of magic and ancient civilization that was so so long ago. Oh, before I forget to ask, do you girls have any allergies?"

"Nope," Compa replied.

Toriel laughed in what sounded like relief, "Oh, well, that is wonderful! I have to head off now!"

"Bye-bye!" Compa says as Toriel hangs up.

Iffy comes back, "Ok, I figured this stupid puzzle out. Here take my hand, I am going to walk you through this one literally." Compa nods and Iffy takes her hand and walks her through the puzzle. Compa blushed while Iffy had a determined yet annoyed look. "So, what did Toriel want?"

"She was asking if we prefer butterscotch, or cinnamon" Compa replied

Iffy laughed, "Wow! Did she really call to ask that? That is so freaking random. What in the world is she thinking asking that? Let me guess she making a pie or something. Oh, that's rich a giant, goat monster baking us a pie? What's next Neptune busts through that wall and pronounces herself to be an idiot by just doing the hula?"

Compa sighed, "Iffy!"

Iffy replied, "What? Neptune would so totally do that! Hey, I can picture it now!" Iffy does her best impersonation of Neptune, "Hey guys! Watch me as I dance the hula like an idiot and make an absolute fool of myself!" Iffy busts into utter laughter while Compa crosses her arms, getting a bit mad, "I could so see Neptune doing that"

Compa snaps, "Hey! that is mean! You should not be making fun of our friend!"

Iffy recoils, "Whoa hey! I was only joking, and let us be honest that is something Nep would do."

Compa chuckles slightly, as they enter the next room, where there are three rocks and three switches on the floor. "Guess I am going to have to help here."

Iffy nods "Yeah let's tag team this one, I will take the bottom one while you take the top one"

"Okie-dookie!" Compa skips to the top rock

Iffy cracks her knuckles, "Alright let's go!" She goes to the rock and begins pushing.

Suddenly a voice from the rock "Whoa there, partner! Who said you can push me around."

Iffy instantly draws her weapon and cautiously walks around the rock "Who's there!? If you are that damn flower, I am going to roast you alive! I am going to give you a one-way ticket to hell!"

"Watch your tone missy! I am not a flower!" The rock said

Iffy blinks and scratches her head, "I must be going crazy because I think the rock is talking to me. No, that is impossible! A lump of stone cannot speak. It has no mouth, and therefore cannot logically speak!" Iffy sighs and chuckles to herself, and then begins to push the rock again harder, "Grrrrr come on! Move it already!"

"Hmm, so you are asking me to move over?" The mysterious rock said.

Iffy getting agitated at this point yelled, "Yes! Move! Whatever the hell this voice came from, move this stupid rock!"

Compa yelled over after she finished putting the first rock in position, "Iffy, are you ok!?"

"Yes, Compa I am…" Suddenly the rock magically moved to cause Iffy to fall flat on her face. She groans very angrily as she gets back up on her feet. "I am ok!"

The rock spoke, after it moved, "Alright pumpkin, I moved just for you."

Compa spoke, "I will push this one, and you can help me when you're done"

Iffy growls as she pushes the rock again. This time it responds with a question "Hmm, you want me to move some more?"

"Yes!" Iffy demanded.

The rock then moved away from the button on the floor, "Alright then, how is that?"

Iffy's eye twitches in fury, "I am going insane, am I? There is a literal sentient somehow both talking and moving rock right in front of me, and this dumb hunk of rock is getting on my nerves!" She begins pushing it toward the button, "so go in the right direction will you!"

The living stone replies, "Oh, that was the wrong direction? Ok, I think I got it!" and it moves to the button on the floor.

Iffy yelled in relief, "Finally! You got to where you need to be, you dumbass!"

Compa stares at Iffy a little hurt and on the verge of crying, "You… You think I am a dumbass?"

Iffy was taken aback, "No. No. No. It was the talking rock!"

Compa starts crying, "Why are you lying to me, Iffy?"

Iffy sighed in defeat, "Let us just go" Iffy and Compa began to leave until the rock moved again off the button, and Iffy having enough turned around and yelled, "Alright, you stupid hunk of rubble! This is getting seriously annoying" Iffy marches to the living stone and punches it toward the button.

The living stone asked, "Hmm, you want me to stay there? Geez, you are putting me to work, hun."

The Rock move back on the button, and Iffy grunts, "STAY! For the love of everything good, STAY ON THAT DAMN BUTTON!" Iffy marches back to Compa

The rock replies, "Sheesh, someone needs to take a chill pill"

"Did that rock just talk?" Compa asked.

Iffy grabs Compa and pulls her, "Let's get out of here! This is getting ridiculous!" They go into the room where moldy cheese is on the table, and Iffy can see another save point, "Finally, another save point!"

Compa spotted the cheese and reacted with disgust, "That cheese is yucky, and it looks like it is stuck to the table! Ewwww! And it's all moldy too."

Iffy walks over and touches the save point; she stares at the cheese and then a small mouse hole in the wall at ground level. Iffy could not help but let out a slight chuckle for the mouse that may one day get the cheese, "Heh, keep at it, little guy, one day you will get it"

Compa lets out a soft yawn "Hey Iffy, do you mind if we can take a break? I did not get to sleep as you did, and Ms. Tori had been chatting to me while you were asleep until the dog took her phone and that was the time you woke up."

Iffy lets out a sweat and smiles sheepishly, "Sure, I guess. You have been awake for a long time, and I bet pushing those rocks and doing those stupid puzzles did not help matters one bit. Besides I need to cool my head and go to sleep something tells me this save point here is a safe spot."

Compa chuckled nervously, "You keep saying you see a save spot, but I don't see anything. Are you sure you're not imagining it?"

Iffy blinks in absolute astonishment, "Well, I can see it plain as day! It freaking bright as all hell, and you are telling me you can't see it? You know what, we will talk about this later no need to boggle our minds with questions when we are already this tired."

Compa yawned, put her back on the wall and slide down and begin dozing off, "Nighty-night," Compa drifts off to sleep and Iffy shrugged and went next to Compa until eventually she too decided to take another nap.

Undenounced to the two girls, Flowey was watching them and let out an evil grin, "Ohhh, this is so interesting! Only the one with the blue jacket has the Determination trait, and her LVL is not one… yet I have not seen her kill any monster. As far as the other human she is such a damn idiot it is almost pitiful, and I am willing to be a peddle or two to say she is not going to harm anyone down here. Blondie seems too nice, yet she can be easily killed. I wonder how far they will go this time because not every day two humans fall to The Underground." Flowey laughs manically as he gets away from the girls plotting something for them.

Meanwhile in Gamindustri…

Neptune jumps awake out of bed and says, "GOOD MORNING VIETNAM! Oh, wait wrong material." Neptune then crawls back to bed pretending to sleep and then jumps out the bed again and speaks, "GOOD MORNING GAMINDUSTRI! Why it is a lovely day today; Compa and Iffy should be coming through that door any moment now!" She gestures to the door and then stands there like an imbecile waiting for her friends, "Any moment now…. Any day now…." She stands there for fifteen minutes until she gets a call from Nepgear, and Neptune answers, "Ayo what's the deal Neppy Gears!"

Nepgear sighs on the phone, "Why did you call me Neppy Gears?"

Neptune chuckles and jokes, "Nah, I am just grinding the Neppy Gears, Nep Jr! Ba dum tssss!"

Neptune can hear Nepgear facepalming over the phone, "That was awful. Anyways, I called to tell you Iffy and Compa have not checked back in. Sis, where are you right now?"

"At Compa place waiting for them to get home and walk through the door, but I don't think they are coming home right now," Neptune says with an embarrassed laugh.

Nepgear sighs, "Guess stay there in case they do come back home in the meantime, I am going to search Planeptune for any leads of their whereabouts."

Neptune shrugs and says, "alright, divide and conquer, I guess. Talk to you soon."

"Bye Neptune." And then Nepgear hung up.

Neptune smiles as she puts away her phone and then stares at the door, "Come home soon guys, because even I am wondering where you're at." Neptune sighs and sits on a couch, and turns on a PlayStation console, "Let me see if good old Noire is on, if not I will switch to another game system" She finds Noire online and goes to play Dark Souls with her, and little she would know she would get killed a lot in that game trying to play in with Noire.

Author notes, This chapter was more focused on the puzzles and the explanation of the Save points in Undertale. Poor Iffy going through a lot of puzzles if only she knows how many more there going to be. I reformatted the Gamindustri event so it will be a bit more noticeable.
