the cowardly brother

chapter 3

Sprinting down the hot desert road, you start to feel tired from all of the running. But you know in the end it'll all be worth it. when you finally reunite with your brother. Even if you can't get home from the underground, as long as you have your bro you'll be happy.

Running further your halted by a giant iron door, similar to a vault. Walking up to it you see a sign near it reading "steamworks". Walking up to the door you realize it's shut tight and needs a code to open.

Before you can even think about your next course of action, a voice pops up next to you.

"Howdy!"

Spinning around you look down to see the flower you met in the ruins.

"Hi uh...flowery, was it?"

Holding back the urge to kill you flowey spoke up again. "No, it's flowey, anyways what are you doing here?"

"Looking for my brother, Ed said he had come through here to get a place called Hotland."

"Oh yeah you were looking for clover weren't you." He said with a sly smile. "Well lucky for you your good pal flowey will help you out!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well you need a code to get in right?"

"I think so, why?"

"Well it just so happens that I have said code, all I need from you is a favor."

"What is it?"

"Well the code is 7771 and as for the favor, when you find clover tell him hi from flowey!"

"Ok thank you flowey, your a good friend."

"I know I am, oh and before I go I have one more tip! The fastest way through the steamworks is a laundry chute on the left path inside! Well bye friend, I'll talk to you later!"

And just like that he was gone. Entering the code into the panel near the door, your startled by the loud nose the door made as it opened. staring into the dark reception area, you quickly brush off your fears and continue forward into the darkness.

Flowey pov

It's kinda funny how easy it is to manipulate this kid! It's even easier than clover. And now my plan is all falling together. As soon as this kid finds his brother without his soul, he'll probably snap and start attacking monsters. Then all I need to do is give him a little push and he'll go distract the king for me. It's too bad I can't keep clover as a pawn, but he wouldn't attack monsters anyway so he's useless. But with this kid, he's a hair length away from snapping! Oh this is going to be so much fun!

Courage pov

WOW it is dark in here. Walking through the lobby you start to feel an odd sense of dread. Like your walking into a bad decision. Putting your fears behind you, you press forward to find your brother. As you continue to walk through the abandoned facility you start to look back on your life. You start to think back to the last time you spent with clover.

Flashback

You had just had an awful day, you had just had enough of everything and to top things off you were getting picked on for being a coward. But who could blame you the world was so scary sometimes.

Walking into the orphanage you decide to just throw your backpack onto the stairs and skip your room, opting to walk straight into clovers. Walking inside you see your brother sitting on his bed polishing his toy gun.
