Left.

Right.

Up.

No wait that one switched to down.

Shit!

Pain lanced up your back and you couldn't help but glare at Undyne who was looking slightly guilt before she shrugged at you. "Was that completely necessary?!" you signed to the fish woman while shouldering the violin you had been trying to play before you were hit. Sure, it wasn't the worst pain you felt but there had been some sort of intent behind the magic projectile for you to feel it in the first place.

Undyne smiled sheepishly and shrugged again. "Sorry, nerd. Kinda got caught up in the heat of the moment. Besides you really need to work on your dodge game."

Your eye twitched in annoyance. "When Alphys said 'we need to test Sans's theory', this was not what I had in mind." you gestured to the camera that was filming your 'encounter' with the fish monster. This whole situation was kind of odd. Why were you on stage doing this when you had a new song to write?

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. This is just how it has to be. I would be the one to initiate the fight but I'm the only one who knows how to run all of the equipment that is available. Alphys is on the other end recording any data or results and anyone else is on the surface." Mettaton stated with a sheepish look of his own. "Though I have to agree that harming songbird was highly unnecessary. So I would love it if you would refrain from that happening again, Undyne." The underlying threat in Mettaton's voice was ignored as the fish woman huffed in annoyance.

"It's not my fault your girlfriend has no dodge game!"

"I don't need to dodge! We're trying to see if my magic can affect people watching from a distance over TV. Which I don't get how we are doing this since all electronics are partially magic based down here." You signed slightly frustrated. At least the pain was gone. You still had the right to be a little mad. "Nothing on the surface is enhanced by magic. So this isn't a proper test. Also there isn't a human on the other end and monsters are sensitive to magic."

Undyne began stretching with a smirk on her face. "Oh there's a human on the other end." She turned toward the camera waving enthusiastically. "HI, FRISK, VINCE, AND NATALIE!"

What?

"How did-" you were cut off as Mettaton made his way towards the stage. "Sans teleported them down here. Now that the barrier is gone he can easily traverse between the surface and the underground. I mean they could have came in through the normal entrance because it is almost fully cleared but we didn't want to have any unnecessary accidents." the robot idol stated as he elegantly made his way up the stairs and strutted his way over to you.

When you had arrived at MTT studios for the first time all of those months ago, you had thought that stage had been huge. It was nothing compared to the one you were sparring with Undyne on. Thousands of empty seats lined the elevated stage in a circular pattern. It was a complete circle with no front or back hinted at. Anyone performing on this platform would be hard pressed to entertain the entire crowd without leaving one group out. Mettaton truly lived up to his name whether it was on the surface or underground.

"As for the television electronic thingy, Alphys and Sans set something up in Snowdin to make it as close as possible to what everyone has above ground has. We'll do another small test once we go topside again but this will tell us what we need to know. At least, that was what Alphy said." Undyne said as she finished her stretch and dropped into a fighting stance. "So, in the meantime, all you gotta do is work your magic and every monster knows it is at it's pinnacle when it is out. Try and get the other humans to feel a certain emotion or something. Anything to prove if it will work or not."
