No Straight Tales [UT x NSR fanfic]

Chapter 1

Mayday and Zuke had just destroyed the satellite that Kliff sent to destroy the NSR Tower. The NSR party thanked the duo with utmost respect.
Kliff coughed as he tried to stand up. He glared at the two, then to Tatiana. “T-this isn't over, Mayday!” He shouts, pulling out another device with a red button.
Tatiana glares back at him. “What now, Kliff? Another one of your schemes?”
Kliff laughs maniacally. “When I push this button, I'll be sent to another dimension… And I've already thought of one…” He inputs the dimension he's going through. A portal opens up behind him. He enters it and throws away the device.
Mayday quickly grabs the device and opens the portal again. “We can't let him escape!” She shouts as she runs through the portal. “May, wait up!” Zuke follows. The portal closes, leaving the NSR party stunned.
As they enter the new dimension, they suddenly trip on a rock and fall through a hole in the mountain. They scream, knowing they were going to die. But a bed of golden flowers break their fall.
“Are we… are we dead?!” Zuke shouts, his body trembling.
“We aren't dead, you idiot.” She slaps his head, making him flinch. “But we're somewhere… and it's pretty dark.” Mayday stands up and looks around. Her gaze then narrows to the hole above, a light casting down on the two of them.
“We can't climb out way out. It's too high and too risky.” She taps her chin.
Zuke stands up and notices an entrance. It had weird purple pillars and a symbol on the top. “Maybe we should go in there.” He points.
“Yeah. We gotta find Kliff before he does something stupid in this… dimension.”
Mayday and Zuke then enter. Mayday notices a small golden flower with a face.
“Do you think Kliff drew a face on this flower?” Zuke snorts.
The flower then giggles. “Don't know who that is, but they sure didn't do that to me!”
Mayday and Zuke's body then stiffen. They slowly turn their heads back to the flower. The two quickly draw their instruments. “The flower can talk!” Mayday gasps.
The flower's face turns smug. “Don't be like that to your new best friend!”
Mayday's grip on her guitar tightens. “Best friend? I already have one! And it's this leek over here!” She nods her head to the right, where Zuke was.
“Hey, I'm not a leek!”
The flower then clears its throat. “Allow me to introduce myself to you two weirdos- I mean- friends! I'm Flowey, Flowey the flower!”
The duo lower their instruments. “Yeah, and I'm Mayday the orange.” She laughs.
“You have the same humor as that weird skeleton guy…” Flowey grumbles.
Zuke looks at the flower suspiciously. “Okay, two questions. One, where the heck are we? Two, how can you talk?”
Flowey smirks. “You're in the Underground. Full of scary monsters…” He emphasizes the word ‘scary’. “And, I can talk because… I'm a ‘magic’ flower…”
Mayday and Zuke tremble as Flowey mentions the monsters part. “But don't worry!” Flowey speaks abruptly. “The monsters here are… friendly towards humans.”
Their surroundings start to darken. The two can only see Flowey. A bright red heart appears in front of Mayday and Zuke. “This is your soul. The very culmination of your being!” White pellets circle around them. “Here in the Underground, monsters share their LOVE through…” He pauses. “Little white… friendliness pellets!”
Mayday raises an eyebrow. “They… share love? But you just said that they're scary monsters?”
“Shut it, orange girl.” He scoffs. “Why are you two so colorful anyway? Shouldn't humans be… Nevermind!” He grunts, then continues. “You two want some LOVE, don't you? When I throw these ‘friendliness pellets’, you're going to run into them, all right?”
Zuke leans towards Mayday. “I don't have a good feeling about this, May.”
“Me too, Zuke.”
Flowey then shoots the pellets. They stay still. As the pellets hit them, pain surges their body. The two break down. “I…I knew something was off!” Mayday hisses.
Flowey giggles, his mouth suddenly forming sharp teeth. “Wow, you both are naive idiots!”
Another set of pellets circle around you. “YOUR SOUL IS MINE!” Flowey shouts before being hit with a fireball.
“Hey… the weird flower is gone…” Zuke sighs in relief. A tall goat monster approaches them.
“Oh, no, no, no, no!” Mayday whips out her guitar, pointing it at the monster. “Fret not, my children. I am not here to hurt you.” She smiles softly. “I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins. And you two are?”
She puts away her guitar. “I'm Mayday! And this is my friend, Zuke!”
“Hey…” Zuke smiles awkwardly, still trembling.
“What a cretin… torturing such poor, innocent creatures…” Toriel mutters.
“Please, follow me, children. I will show you around the Ruins.” She guides the two to the entrance to the Ruins.
