Broken Souls

Battle at the core

(Your POV)

I could hear the robot shouting happily in a murderous tone, as alphys told me he was one of her lab experiments. I don't believe that was the full case but didn't pay much attention as I just ran to go to protect frisk. He was my top priority after all. I soon came into the room the two were in, just in time to as he locked the doors to keep alphys out of the way. I look at the metal rectangle laugh insanely as the floor below us began elevating. Frisk and I panicked and clung to each other, Flowey now clinging to me more then Frisk for comfort. Thankfully the floor stops and a battle begins between all of us. I keep Frisk behind me and take most of the attacks that was until Frisk snuck behind mettaton and flipped his switch.

Frisk and I covered our ears as an unholy screeching could be heard before darkness surrounded us. I blindly look Frisk as rock music began to play and a dim light cast a glow on a figure with four arms. I hear a dark laughter and I knew now who the figure was, it was mettaton as he turned the lights up and smirked at Frisk and I. I felt nervous as he pulls out two extremely sharp chainsaws. I can't believe that psycho has two chainsaws I thought as Mettaton smirks at me. "Now darlings lets give them a show... don't comply you'll get tormented...." he says as I got up and saw Frisk looking at me worried.

I take a breath and look at mettaton, he was dead serious on having a show. Looks like I don't have a choice as I began to sing slowly. Mettaton seemed to perk as he attacks me, I dodge and began to sing louder and noticed a view counter. It was rising, but it soon fell as I wasn't being appealing enough. So I kept singing and began to dance proactively as I sang. I didn't want Frisk to see me like this but it was the only choice...

I could Feel Frisk stare at me as Mettaton growls in frustration. I felt like he was mad at me but I can't tell why? I mean he in his own way seemed a lot more attractive then little ol' me. Eventually I finished my song only to be kicked hard away, I cough up blood and noticed the views spiked when I got hurt. Thinking I let him hurt me as I began singing another song to help keep the ratings high. Beating after beating I continue to sang and still act proactive, mettaton slowly lost his arms and began to malfunction. Frisk who held Flowey before I went up to fight was trying to cheer for me but I could tell seeing me in pain hurt him.

With a cheery smile I look at him and gave a thumbs up as the ratings hit 10,000. Mettaton yells in surprise as he became nothing more then a torso and head. Panting I look at Mettaton who was taking calls to see if they support him. I was happy for him to reach his goal and yet when I heard what his so called fans said to him. "What a loser, this was the worse show ever..." , "I hope you die on the surface" , "this place would be better off without you". I couldn't take it and looked for where the cameras were and soon stood up.

Despite him trying to kill me and beating me no one deserves the mental abuse. "Shut up all of you! Nome of you have the balls to do what he does!!!!" I shout, "He goes on stage everyday to keep all of you entertained!!! That takes a lot of courage! And for him to still do it with the hate he gets!" I shout before looking at mettaton who was crying. "I may not have watched his shows but I know he's the best star you've got...." I say softly and go over to him and hug him softly. I felt him cry as one last caller came in, I remeber that voice.... it was Napstablook as he spoke.

"You aren't horrible.... you can be pretty entertaining I guess... bye...." He said as Mettaton smiled softly. "Thank you....Thank you so muc...." Mettaton shut down as Alphys finally scurried in and noticed Mettaton. She sighs and takes mettaton from me, "He ran out of batteries..... that idiot he over worked his body...." she mutters as I smiled softly at Alphys. "He's lucky to have someone like you to repair him" I say causing her to blush and look off. "Y-yeah...." she muttered as I got up and was instantly hugged by frisk and Flowey. "Cry we are almost at the end.... we can go home" frisk said smiling. I nod and pet his head, "yeah.... home....".
