2nd POV: Y/n

You're walking through the snow, Chara the short term memory demon girl trudging along behind you. The clearing of snow ahead of you slowly melts into a blue-ish cavern, spiked towers connecting themselves high into the ceiling.
"Food?" Once again, for about the seventh time since you got out of the house, she's asked for a snaxk of some sort. With how much she ate already your suprised that her hunger still hasn't been satisfied.
You reach into the pocket of a pair of sweats you grabbed earlier and pull out a cinnabun, tossing it to Chara and continuing along before she gets a craving for meat.

Another human has fallen, their body twitches slightly, and dust floats around them. "He..hehe....hehehehehehehello Underground!" The human laughs maniaclly, a strange sense of familiarity about this location and this human.

Toriel, captain of the royal guard...derranged, animalistic, and completely bloodthirsty, she isn't a momma goat to anyone anymore. Her prowling grounds are up in the taller grasslands, the beutiful scenery messed up because of the piles of blood and dust.
You and Chara sneak through the grass, trying to make as little noise as possible to not disturb and alert Toriel to your presence. That seems to have worked, until a large fireball goes right over your head and singed your hair.
"You...your food..." Toriel growls, her mouth watering while looking at you and Chara, seemingly loosing the fact that she adopted the latter human.

Toriel strikes with her staff, fire licking the ground. You duck, pulling Chara down as well. Your hand rests on the chainsaw and you sprint foreward, -96966 Toriel bends her knee and collapses. Her breathing slows down, and her eyes lose the feirce power they once had.
Toriel turns to dust, her animalistic nature locking her second form from saving her, resulting in your victory.

*Gained 2500 EXP

*LV INCREASED TO 8

*Hp up! 64/64

The scenery shifts for a moment, just a second, but a new being has entered the world. Your phone rings, and you pick it up to look at.
Calling...Hunter
You answer, "Hello?"
"What do you mean 'where am I'?"
"Yeah, right under Mt Ebott. Hm? Of course you can help! I'll be at the closest spot possible."
"Aight, see ya soon." The call ends, and your stomach slowly gurgles in hunger. You wince, and Chara notices. She comes over and holds out her arm, where you can clearly see bite marks and bandages. "Hungry? Me...Food." She shivers in some kind of self preservitive memory, but still offers her arm for munching on.
"Eh!? Nonono, I-i think theres still a snack in my pocket...I hope."

<Alright, sending in the heavy.>
>You sure this'll work? We aren't even sure they can save Chara, much less another....seven?<
<Such little faith....don't worry about the others, worry about what might happen when the people get bored.>

"So Chara, if Hotlands is called Hotlands because its hot...the why isn't snowdin called Freezeland?"
"King had terrible sense of names. Not good. Very Lazy."
"Didn't answer the question...but okay." You shrug, wiping dust off your hands and pulling out the last item you have. You snap a Bicicle in half and give one to Chara, while you eat the other. Its not really food as it is water, but it still fills your stomach.

Monsters here seem to have failed to adapt to the slowly freezing land around them, with the core sitting in cooled magma its obvious on just how cold its gotten. Monsters of flame and fire just stare and the both of you while whining, unable to move lest they get put out by the air alone.

You and Chara make it to the Lab, where  Chara quietly opens the door, and gets a cup of ramen smacked into her face. The demonic girl slurps the remaining ramen and crushes the cup, the one who threw the cup is a large goat, similer in looks to Toriel and Asriel, but still has a look of intelligence.
The lights flicker, and the goat looks at Chara with sadness. He pulls out a red vial, making her gasp, and her drinks it.

Somewhere in the True Lab, right underneath the Mc, a canister appears. It holds a soul, so brightly colored that its impossible to tell what trait it has right now. Its glass shatters, and the soul is enveloped inside a mass of red mist.
A figure steps aside, turning the camera away, before speaking. "Congrats on making it Hunter...We need to get you a spare set of clothes, just a moment."
Rustling is heard, but as the camera faces the wall nobody will ever know how [-------] got the clothes.
"There, all set. Y/n is upstairs, heres your complementary basket and a shapeshifting weapon. Have fun, and...be prepared, I have more plans then just this world."
