Author's Notes: When Gastor is talking Gregory can't understand him. This is due to Gastor talking in Wingdings, and I haven't found a way to make it wingdings work. So, for the viewer it's just regular text.
Gregory's POV:
As we walk out of the hotel, we see two shadowy figures watching us from up ahead. They walk out of our view down the path, before I can get a closer look at them. The atmosphere of this area in general, sends shivers down my spine. I look over at Frisk and see that they are completely calm. I guess doing this hundreds of times made them used to this. Even if we die and Frisk brings us back to the last save point, the whole thing still feels unnerving.
"Frisk, before we continue there's something you should know. Before I came here I was at the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, and that's where I met Vanny." Frisk nods, taking it all in. They don't seem confused when mentioning the Pizzaplex, which isn't surprising with how popular it is. It makes sense that Frisk would have heard about it.
"I was there before closing time. Since the stupid door closed before I could leave, I had to stay there until 6 am. The whole time I was hunted down by the Glamrock was something wrong with him, I think Vanessa might have done something to them before." There is something off about Frisk when I mentioned the animatronics being controlled. There is a look of empathy in their eyes.
"Vanessa she….. killed 9 kids there before trying to kill me. I almost didn't make it. But Glamrock Freddy… he helped me. Through the whole night he was the only one there who was there for me. He wasn't controlled like the others… but I le…" My voice breaks as I feel my eyes tear up. Frisk gives me a warm smile as they gently put a hand on my shoulder.
"I understand. I'm sorry you had to go through that, you had to escape." It helps to have Frisk to talk to. I haven't told anyone what happened, not even Cassie. But I still can't stop thinking about Freddy.
"But he could have been taken over like the others! Maybe if I stayed I could have stopped them… Maybe…." Frisk hugs me, as my tears flow down my face. I'm glad I trusted them with this.
"I think I'm ready. Let's do this." We start to walk into the light filled hallway of the core. But Everything starts to get dark, even Frisk looks surprised.
"What the hell is happening?!"
"I think I know who it is, he can be a little scary at first but he won't hurt us." With that the entire room goes dark. Looking around I feel disoriented, as I stare into the dark void it looks like it could stretch on infinitely. I feel petrified as I stare at who's in front of us. There is a skeleton monster like Sans but there are cracks running down his face, and there are holes in his hands. Suddenly he starts talking as symbols appear in front of us.
Welcome frisk, I'm glad you're here and you brought the anomaly.
"Gastor, his name is Gregory. And it's wonderful to see you too." Frisk can understand him?! What the hell?! I don't know what those freaky symbols are, but to be able to understand instantly! It must have taken Frisk a while to learn it.
I know, i have been watching your journey. This run isn't like any other, somehow the universe has been altered.
I have investigated the matter, and I have found some stunning results. Each time a reset happens your friend Gregory here, would take a different action at the end of his journey. Whether it be staying at the Pizzaplex or saving vanessa each path would end differently. Even though this shouldn't be possible since his journey happened a week before yours.
"But how is that possible? Gregory's soul is bravery, so he can't go back to save points. I was nowhere near the Pizzaplex, so I couldn't have altered it." Frisk looks freaked out. I just wish I could tell what is being said. But I guess I'll just have to ask Frisk about it later.
I don't get it either. But what i do know is that your friend being here is the key to finally ending the resets. But there is still the problem with vanessa. A virus is controlling her, influencing her every action. But there is still a way to save her from it. When the time comes, i will aid you, but for now you need to continue on ahead.
"Vanessa, Gastor says that she is being controlled." W….what?! No…. No, that can't be possible! The person that tried to kill me the whole night, the way she acted…. She already killed 9 kids, could it be true? Freddy said something else was going on other than Vanny, at the time I just thought she was working with someone else. Could she really just be another pawn like the animatronics were?!
You need to go back now; your journey is at its end. Even though the means to free her, are back on the surface. There is another way, to free her mind.
The world bends around us as the experience is so nauseating! Taking in our new surroundings, I see where standing in front of a door with a weirdly similar symbol to the one that was on Toriel's robe. Next to the door is an elevator, Frisk goes near and stands there. By now I know that Frisk is saving, but it is still a little creepy. Frisk explains the elevator will lead to the entrance of the king's castle, but we can't take it now. The only way though is going into the room with the symbol.
As we enter the dark room, we see Mettaton at the center. Out of all the times we have seen him, this one feels the most ominous. There are only two ways out of the room, the way we came and the hallway past Mettaton.
"Ohh Yes. There you are darlings! It's time to have our little showdone. It was fun while it lasted. But the MASTER needs your remnants now! We will take your souls, and get the other from Asgore. Then once we flee this place, I shall be the newest entertainer at the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex! And then there will be nothing to stop MASTER from being reborn!" I grab Frisk and run for the door and pull with all my might. Ohh crap, it's locked! The floor rises, as Mettaton flips a switch on his back.
"Awww, don't tell me you plan to leave before the grand finale. At least you'll die getting to see my gorgeous new form!" There is a flash as everything goes dark. Suddenly spotlights lower from the ceiling as smoke fills the room. I guess Mettaton planed all this out, he's really going to make a performance out of fucking killing us! It's not like I'm not used to scarry robots trying to kill me, but to do this?! At least the animatronics were direct, and didn't try to make a big show of it! How are we going to get past him? His stats from earlier showed that any of our attacks would do nothing!
The smoke disappears as the lights come back on revealing…. Mettaton?! Instead of being rectangular, his new body is has a purple chest piece, and black hair.
Frisk POV:
Mettaton's ratings have just reached over 1000. Mettaton is in front of us, but only his torso and head remain. But instead of stopping the fight and deciding to not leave his fans, he refuses to stop until he has our souls. But his power is running out, hopefully we can find a way to help him. But at least he won't be a threat to us once we leave this room.
"You may have stopped me. But I was only the opening act! You will stand no chance against master and what he has planned. Now go on darlings, you don't want to be late!" Metton barely has enough time to finish talking before his power runs out. Now all that is left is to pass through Asgore's house, and judgment hall in order to reach the barrier. Mettaton said that the person controlling Vanessa is up to something up ahead. Could they have gotten to Asgore? No he has to be ok, I have to stay Determined.
Walking ahead we take the elevator. After we step out we walk until we reach Asgore's house. The once happy house holds sadness. It still doesn't make it any easier seeing this, even though I have been through this area hundreds of times. To know what happened to the Dreemurrs, breaks my heart. Even in the True Pacifist ending, Asriel still refuses to leave the Underground. And Chara is still dead with Gastor in the void. I just want to save everyone, but no matter what I do someone is still suffering.
The monster appears along the path telling the story of Asrial and Chara. Usually Chara could say something during this time. Such as sarcastic comments, or remarking on the memory. But for some reason I haven't heard Chara say anything for a while. The last time I heard Chara, me and Gregory were fighting Muffet. It's so unlike Chara, are they ok?
As we unlock the chain and go down the stairs, the monster finishes telling the story. As they do I can see Gregory listening with empathy. He's lost family too and he knows the feeling. I don't know whether I should tell Gregroy about Flowey being Asriel or not. I want to respect Asriel's privacy, and I know that if he tries to take the souls Gregroy will learn soon enough. But I still hate keeping secrets from friends, but it's important.
Now we stand in front of Judgment hall. Walking into the yellow-hued room, we can see the light shine through the windows adorned with the deltarun symbol. Sans stands at the end of the room, looking at us in anticipation. We haven't killed any monster, so I know Sans is going to go with the Pacifist run dialogue. But Vanessa… This run has experienced many losses, but there's still hope.
I go over to the save point, and save. We walk to Sans, as bells ring off once we stop. Even with his permanent smile, I can still see the pain on his face. He's probably thinking about all that has happened, with Vanessa.
"So you finally made it. The end of your journey is at hand. i'm not going to lie, Greg here along with his 'friend' threw me through a loop. you were an enigma kid, i didn't know what to make of you. but after seeing you go through the underground, i have confidence in you. now let's get down to business." Sans takes a deep breath as he continues.
"In a few moments, you two will meet the king. Together… you will determine the future of this world." I can tell as Sans says this, he is trying to sound normal. He knows that the world will probably be Reset again. To have all everything return to the beginning, and have all that we have done erased. The first time he said this it came from his heart, but as time went on it just became a habit. Sans continues talking about our judgment and into EXP.
"What's EXP? It's an acronym, but i'm guessing you already know this from earlier. Frisk you have never gained any LOVE. But Gregory, you have, on the surface. life isn't simple, and sometimes things are not always clear. but i see who you truly are, Gregory, and know this. i am here for you if you need me. good luck, and break a leg.
"Thanks, we would have made it this far if you didn't handle Vanny. And thanks for being our friend." Sans nods as he teleports away. Continuing ahead we make our way to the king's castle. To the end.
Author's Notes:
Gregory and Frisk are nearing the end. How will the story conclude and what does Glitchtrap have up his sleeve?
