What Went Wrong?

Chapter 27

"Good God, I hate that guy!" I growled. Frisk glanced behind them as if the expected to be jumos car ed by me or someone else. But there was nothing.

Frisk then responded with, "What? I understand that what he said meant that he would have killed me, but he's still a cool and funny dude. I still would have spared him if he attacked me on sight."

I glared at the ground as Frisk started to exit the rich dining area. Soon enough Frisk pushed open a door and a rush of cool air rush through and was soon followed by fog. This... this is the core. A giant machine that powers all of the Underground's electricity throw geothermal terms. Frisk closed the hotels door behind them and carefully proceeded. Then I spotted two figures in the mist and Frisk stopped and suddenly Frisk phone went off at the same time. Alphys told us there shouldn't be anyone in the core, and the two figures took off into the core area and disappeared. I felt Frisk's terror cross over them. I assured them and encouraged them by telling them they weren't to far away from Asgore's castle. I wasn't lying, they weren't to far away.

When we entered the core properly there was an elevator and two openings beside it. The elevator didn't work and one entrance was a giant fire pit so Frisk traveled down the only place they could go. The core was basically a giant maze full of cords, lights, and hot steam. Frisk ran one direction and some how made it right back to were they started. It took a little while but they eventually started running into monster who attacked them. They spared monsters like Knight Knight or Majick. These attacks where starting to get pretty intense. It surprised me who amazing Frisk was at dodging.

Soon enough Frisk crossed a dark bridge, sparing monsters left and right, turned off laser systems, and then crossed another bridge. This one was much brighter and I guess some what welcoming compared to the last one. At the end of the bridge was a huge door with a heart shape at the top. I assumed some monster would be inside waiting to kill Frisk. I knew that Frisk knew it too. Frisk's face showed their determination and concentration and they marched on inside.

Like expected, the first thing we saw was Mettaton standing inside, just waiting for Frisk to show up. What a weirdo... I looked around and noticed three cameras hidden in the walls. We were live. Was Mettaton going to kill Frisk live?! I brought out my knife just in case if I had to use it.

Mettaton sealed off the door so Dr. Alphys couldn't help rescue Frisk. We were on our our. The entire Underground was watching this. "Let's do this!" Frisk told ne with a smile. Then suddenly got a call from Dr. Alphys. They told Frisk to flip Mettatons secret switch behind her. When they did, Mettaton acted like he was about to blow up, Frisk freaked out a bit and curled into a ball for protection. Then metal bits when flying everywhere and the was a deep robotic voice, "OOHHHHHH YEEESSSSS!"

I opened my eyes and saw the new and improved, Mettaton EX. The robotic body was no longer just a rectangle. It had full details, like a cyborg like human in a way. Soon enough a board behind Mettaton EX, lit up and the view count was lower. We both realized we had to keep those views up! So Frisk suddenly spun in a circle and struck a stylish pose. I could feel the crowds watching erupt in cheers as Mettaton EX followed! They couldn't see me but I dances along side Frisk. Frisk boasted about how they wouldn't get hurt in the next round and Mettaton EX didn't make it easy! The huge robot swung it's legs towards Frisk's face and they barely dodged it.

Soon enough Mettaton started a dance and Frisk so copied and I did too. Soon they were doing a fully rehearsed dance. I laughed. I was genuinely enjoying myself. This was so much fun, especially for a battle. I quickly glanced at the view count board and it's sky rocketed! Almost ten thousand views! I watched as the dance moves because more and more difficult. So difficult to the point the Mettaton EX's arms and legs actually fell off his body. Soon enough Frisk won the battle once the view count struck over ten thousand views.

We both watched as Mettaton got some really heart warming messages from his fans. His very first call sounded like it came from Blooky himself. Soon enough Mettaton decided that maybe leaving for the surface wasn't the best idea. So it was decided that Mettaton would stay in the Underground for as long as the monster kind needed him. With that his exo batteries died and the power to the LIVE video stopped to. The sealed off door opened back up and Dr. Alyphs came rushing in.

"M-Mettaton! Are you alright?!" Alyphs knelt down beside Mettaton and sighed in relief, "Oh, thank God. It's j-just the batteries." Then she glanced over at Frisk standing there, rubbing they arm. She looked surprised for a second and quickly said, "G-Go on ahead, I'll catch up." Frisk smiled and nodded and walked out the newly opened door.

Once we were out of there I quickly said to Frisk, "You ready? This is it. The long elevator ride to the capitol. This is were you'll fine Asgore." Then I realized something. Once Frisk is gone... I'm going back to my grave. My horrible, dark, and lonely grave. I sighed. This is what they want. They want to go home and live a long life. A silent tear strolled down my cheek. I wasn't ready to leave the Underground again. I looked over at Frisk and the look on their face said the same as mine. They weren't ready to leave either, but I felt the need and want to leave.
