deltarune Chapter 3 (Theoretical Pacifist Route)

Static Studios

The Fun Gang, with Kris's mother; Toriel, had begun their journey through the new Dark World which appeared to be a film production studio.

Kris was starting to feel a little anxious about it, feeling very worried that they were going to accidentally encounter the bulky TV headed man from earlier.

Toriel was able to sense that her child was feeling uncomfortable. But thought it would be best for her to wait to ask Kris about what exactly is bothering them.

Both Toriel and Ralsei were enjoying the scenery. Kris was doing the same, but their body was slowly shaking due to being scared.

Susie was simply not minding the area around her.

Out of nowhere, two theatrical enemies popped out of nowhere, surprising the four, then those enemies initiated a turn-based battle set in a theater, identical to the one Kris was originally dealt with their encounter with the bulky TV headed man.

Susie: "What the-?! This isn't our usual kind of battle!"

Ralsei: "It's probably how this Dark World handles them."

Susie: "Yeah, you make a good point there."

Kris: "I guess we go first like usual?"

The battle UI was slightly changed in this Dark World, which had blocks floating above each Fun Gang member where each one of them corresponded to a battle command.

Those battle commands include; ATTACK, ACTs, ITEMS, GUARDING, MERCY, and FLEEING.

Kris selected ACT, and chose to check the enemy, wanting to see their stats, and both Susie and Ralsei chose to GUARD themselves, filling up their TP meter a bit.

The enemies then applied their attacks, to where it put no damage to both thanks to them guarding, Kris quickly learned about "Action Commands", so they were able to pull off a successful "SUPERGUARD". Once the foes concluded their move, it was The Fun Gang's turn again.

Kris: "I think I got the hang of these kinds of battles now."

Susie: "Yeah, and honestly, these new battles ROCK!"

Ralsei: "Can't wait to find a Theatre-themed Darkpedia so we can learn more on how they handle doing battles here!"

Kris then looks at the ACT options, and then selects "X-Appeal", to where The Fun Gang's outfits change to theatrical themed clothing, and fills up both Theets' MERCY meter up to 100%.

After dodging the enemy's attacks during their turn, Susie guards herself filling up the TP meter again, and both Kris and Ralsei spare both Theets', the corrupted masks they were wearing disintegrate off of them, and were both recruited for Castle Town.

They all gained 0 EXP and 30 DARK DOLLAR$.

When they finished the battle, The Fun Gang returned to their positions in the area they were currently in, and noticed that Toriel was able to witness the whole battle, and was fairly surprised by it.

Kris: "Mother, are you alright?"

Toriel: "I'm fine, Kris. Just surprised that you 3 were able to handle that fight without any conflict."
