Fallen Down (DISCONTINUED)

Cooking Show?! - Chapter 19

(A/N WOAHHHH! Over 100 views?? Thanks guys! I know it's not a big milestone, but I'm just a small writer here on Wattpad. -3-)

Lizzie's P.O.V.

"COOKING SHOW?!?!" Julia and I scream in unison. Sheesh! I can't believe this robot! After what we've seen from Mettaton, he's probably going to kill us and use us as an ingredient! And, look at that, there's a sign that reads 'Cooking with a Killer Robot'. How utterly amazing. Note the sarcasm. Well, so far he seems okay...

"Pre-heat your ovens, because we've got a VERY special recipe for you today!" Mettaton exclaims. "We're going to be making a cake! My lovely assistants here will gather the ingredients. Everyone give them a big hand!!!" He says, clapping his hands as confetti falls down on us. "We'll need sugar, milk and eggs. Go for it, sweethearts!" He finishes joyfully, patting us on the head.

Julia and I walk over to another counter across the room, grabbing the ingredients. As I grab the milk and eggs, I notice Julia is staring down at her phone.

"Something wrong?" I ask, leaning over her shoulder.

"Nothing, but Alphys kinda maybe hung up on us, so we're stuck with this freaking robot for now." She replies, shrugging her shoulders and bringing the bag of sugar back to Mettaton. Following her path, I grip the rest of the ingredients carefully and bring them over next to her. I turn my head toward the maniac robot, awaiting further instructions.

"Perfect! Great job beauties!~" He exclaims. "We've got all of the ingredients we need to bake the cake! Milk, sugar, eggs..." He trails off. "...Oh my! Wait a magnificent moment, how could I forget!! We're missing the most important ingredient..." Suddenly, he whips out a chainsaw. "A human soul!" 

ALRIGHT, NOW HE DOESN'T SEEM SO OKAY! He starts up the chainsaw, and starts walking slowly towards us. As he is literally inches from our faces, his phone starts ringing. Frustratedly, he drops the chainsaw and picks up the phone. "Hello?" He asks, clearly irritated. "I'm kind of in the middle of something here."

Alphys' voice rings out on the other side of the line. "W-wait a second!!!" She says frantically, as if in a rush. "Couldn't you make a... Couldn't you use a..." She stops to regain her thoughts. "Couldn't you make a substitution in the recipe?!"

Mettaton nearly gasps at her words. "A substitution? You mean, use a different, non-human ingredient? Why?"

"Uhh, what if someone's... vegan?"

"Vegan."

"Uhh well I mean-"

"That's a brilliant idea, Alphys!!" Mettaton shouts, music blaring. "Actually, I happen to have an option right here! MTT-Brand Always-Convenient Human-Soul-Flavor-Substitute! A can of which... is just over on that counter!" He motions to a counter at the end of the room, which just so happens to be conveniently placed on a lone counter. He looks at us, waiting. "Well, darlings? Why don't you go get it?"

"Come on, let's go, Liz." Julia says, grabbing my sleeve and leading me over to the can. As we are walking, I can't help but feel suspicious. I mean, come on, it's a can sitting on a counter, far away from the rest of the ingredients. Another thing I notice a slight green creeping up the sleeves of Julia's sweater. I'm sure she'll be fine... right?

Reaching toward the can, Julia tries to snatch it off of the counter. Instead, her hand smacks into the counter itself, which is now... rising off of the ground? I rub my eyes, thinking I'm just hallucinating, but it still continues to rise. I stare at Julia, looking dumbstruck. She seems to notice and all she says is "I don't even know."

Mettaton walks- or should I say rolls, over to us and says "By the way, our show runs on a strict schedule. If you can't get the can in the next one minute, we'll just have to go back to the original plan!" I shiver at the thought of going back to the original plan. "Better start climbing, beautifuls!" He then proceeds to fly above us, hovering in the sky with things in his hands with labels that are too far away to read. If only it were that easy to get up for us.

I hear a ringing noise and assume Alphys is calling Mettaton again, but it turns out to be my phone. I answer it and put it on speaker so that Julia can hear as well. "Oh no!!! There's not enough time to climb up!" She squeals frantically, presumably observing from the computer in her lab. "F-f-fortunately, I might have a plan! When I was upgrading your phone, I added a few... features. You see that huge button that says 'JETPACK'?" I glance down at my phone and find a glowing red button labeled 'Jetpack!!!" I put the phone back to my ear to finish listening to Alphys.

"Watch this!" She says as the button gets pressed. All of a sudden something shoots out from a slot above the button on my phone. I see it form a jetpack, and Julia  presses a button on her phone too, so she can have one as well. "There! You should have just enough fuel to get to the top!" Alphys says. "Now, get up there!!"

Julia and I swiftly slip on the jetpacks and start racing to the top. Unfortunately for us, Mettaton is rising above us and throwing down the ingredients on us in an attempt to slow us down. This isn't good for us, since we only have a minute to get to the top. It's a race against time, you could say.

Mettaton throws down more ingredients, and this time it's the sugar. I guess I wasn't paying attention, and some landed right in my eyes. Out of instinct I scream, but quickly recover to rub it out of my vision. Now, I'm not that far behind Julia. I hope we can make it to the top.

One minute later... (Neutral P.O.V.)

"My my. It seems you've bested me. But only because you had the help of the brilliant Doctor Alphys! Oh, I loathe to think of what would have happened to you without her! Well, toodles!"

"Oh, yes! About the substitution... haven't you ever seen a cooking show before? I already baked the cake ahead of time!!! So forget it!!"

Ring...

"Wow! We... we did it!! We... we really did it! Great job out there, team! W-well, uh, anyway, let's keep heading forward!"
