Not the One in Control (Undertale Fan-Fiction)

The Creatures of the Underground

        You gazed at Flowey for about a dozen seconds, and he stared back. He was smiling at you. "Howdy!" he said to you. You were still surprised by him showing up out of nowhere, and right after your eerie feelings. He looked at you, recognizing your fearful state. "Ah, do not be afraid... It is me, your best friend... Flowey!" he winked at you, before continuing, "Now that she is gone, we can speak in peace." you had calmed down from the initial shock then, but you still felt tension in the situation.
"Well firstly, I want to know if you're alright." Flowey's smile vanished. "Have you tried to hurt anyone?" for the following few seconds, he gazed at you directly in the eyes, with a deathly serious expression. However, soon he noticed he was being too serious, and he figured he could be scaring you. Swiftly, he tried to correct his mistake, by replicating his previous smile. You were slightly terrified by his sudden change of feeling. From what looked like joy, he had turned completely expressionless, in a matter of seconds. In your fear, you answered to his question, by swinging your head left and right, for you indeed hadn't tried to hurt anyone. Flowey was relieved by that answer, and his false smile translated into a real one.
   "Thank you for following my advice. Now, for what I've been wanting to tell you... That time everything went black and white, except your soul. That was a battle, only then was your soul visible. I hadn't started it with the intents of attacking you, but rather, to teach you about your soul." you then knew that your previous guess was right. Indeed was the colour shifting of black and white, the commencing of a fight. Flowey continued, "That is not all however. You may have realized by now that monsters live in the underground. That being said, monsters are made of magic. They will use magic attacks to hurt you."
   "These magic attacks, are very powerful." Flowey's smile now disappeared, "I'd say, around half a dozen hits will result in you falling on the ground, with death to come soon after. Knowing that, you should try to avoid any battles at all costs, understand?" you nodded. "It is for your own safety. If you do however defeat a monster in battle, you will collect some gold. Tougher monsters will carry more gold with them, but they are harder to defeat. Gold is the currency in the underground, you can use it to purchase foods or equipment." Flowey looked at you, while thinking about something. "Some monsters, do not wish to fight. In which case, you should talk to them. I know many monsters here that would be willing to not only talk... but give advice too. Maybe you should listen to them, rather than me. I have already told you, what they will not, and there is no point in telling you what you will be told again later. So, I will leave you now." he then smiled at you, "But do not fear, I will watch over you, and aid you when needed." Flowey stopped smiling, and looked at you in a slightly irritated expression. "Try not to get hurt though, alright?" he closed his eyes, and sighed. Then he looked at you, while smiling a little, "Farewell." Flowey gazed at you for the following few seconds, and then he dug into the ground. You were now alone again, in the silent room. Although it seemed like Flowey wanted to help you and tried to be your friend, you had an eerie feeling about him, one that you could not describe easily. It was a feeling of a one-sided friendship, a feeling that he could betray you.

   You looked around the now silent, and empty room. You then looked at the doorway, and were prepared to go through it. You took a few steps towards the doorway, yet as you did, you heard something ringing in your pocket. It was your phone, which you took out, and on the grey screen you saw, 'Incoming call - Toriel'. There was no button for accepting calls, so you pressed the 'call' button instead, and the call was accepted. You could hear Toriel's voice,
   "Hello? This is Toriel. You have not left the room have you?" she said, "There are a few puzzles ahead that I have yet to explain. It would be dangerous to try to solve them yourself.", you sighed. You thought that Toriel was exaggerating again, as she did with previous puzzles. Although she only did so to protect you, for she worried about you. You nevertheless didn't get intimidated from going onwards, by her minor warning. "Be good, alright?" then you heard a click, and on the grey screen a message 'call ended' was seen. You put the phone back into your pocket, and then proceeded into the next room, despite Toriel's warning.
   In the next room, you spotted a froggit to your left in front of a doorway, and to your right, another doorway. The room had two piles of red and orange leaves, surrounding a pathway to the two doorways. You walked towards the froggit, and it croaked at you. They weren't just any ordinary croaks however, they carried a meaning that was familiar to you, and you could understand. "Excuse me, human. I have some advice for you about battling monsters. If you act a certain way or fight until you almost defeat them... They might not want to battle you anymore. If a monster does not want to fight you, please... Use some mercy, human." the froggit said. You understood then what Flowey meant, when he had said that some monsters aren't willing to fight, and some would give you advice. This froggit was an example of that.
   You headed towards the closest doorway, the one on your left. Upon going through the large doorway, you entered a minor room, with water streams to the left and right, and a cluster of green vines on the wall in front of you. A coral bowl, that had many various coloured candy wrappers in it, was in the center of the room, placed on a miniature white pillar, which was circled by crimson leaves. You approached the bowl, and you saw a paper note placed in the candy, which read 'Take one'. You took a random piece of candy, and you obtained a candy with a yellow wrapper, which read 'It has a distinct, non-citric flavour'. You didn't want to eat it yet, instead you wanted to save it for later, thus, you stored it in one of your pockets. You initially didn't want to take any more candy, but you were curious as to what the other wrappers said, and what they tasted like. You took one of each coloured candy there was. You obtained a black, purple, blue, green, and red candy. The black one, had a distinct non-licorice flavour. The purple one, had a distinct non-blackberry flavour, the blue one had a distinct non-blueberry flavour. The green one, had a distinct non-watermelon flavour, and finally the red one, had a distinct non-strawberry flavour. You didn't eat any of them yet, instead, you stored them all in your pockets, to eat later.
   You left the room where you obtained the candy, and proceeded onwards towards the other doorway. While walking, you suddenly stopped as you saw a ghost-like creature with wings materialize in front of you. Everything around you started flashing black and white again, this monster seemingly wanted to fight you. Out of curiosity, you decided to check it, and you figured out that it was too sensitive to fight. It was shivering, as it said, "Please forgive me..." and white butterfly-like creatures appeared to your left and right. If those were attacks, then they were definitely avoiding you, rather than aiming for you. You felt sorry for whimsum, and you decided to help it by consoling it, but halfway through your first word, whimsum burst into tears and flew away. Then the colours around you, returned to normal, as the fight was finished. If all monsters were like that, then you had nothing to fear. No matter how strong their attacks could be, if they didn't hit you, it didn't even matter.
