Undertale: War of Souls

Chapter Seven: Finding the Royal Scientist

MK was barely aware of how much noise he was making at this point. No. He was aware, but he was too panicked to care, and so was Lucy. Both were absolutely terrified of the strange dog monster that had howled at them, and the fact that the creature was now chasing them through the halls certainly didn't help.

         The second they reached the end of the hall, MK made a split second decision and threw himself to the left, the monster relying heavily on his ability to move fast with those legs of his. He almost fell over at first, but Lucy had quickly jerked the body another way in order to try and prevent that. It seemed Lucy was very agile, which was good. Tripping and falling with not only a soul container in hand, but a mutant monster chasing them was not at all an ideal way to go.

         As they raced away from their pursuer, Flowey shouted right along with them, the flower's yelling only occasionally getting drowned out by the howls of the large amalgamate. Occasionally MK heard someone pained yelps coming from the creature, but he didn't bother looking back to see what had happened. Besides, Flowey shouting, "Die you idiot!" told him all he needed to know.

        For a moment, MK thought he had a handle on the situation, but when another strange sludge monster appeared, the boy skidded to a stop with wide eyes. There, standing before him, was a snowdrake, specifically a female snowdrake from what he could see. No. It wasn't just her. There were more monsters merged in with her, but that was a snowdrake. He would know. He lived next to a family of snowdrakes after all. In fact, he knew one who'd... lost his mother...

         Oh no.

         "Hey! Why'd you stop?!" Flowey's snapping brought MK back to the present for a moment, the monster not moving as his arms clutched the container in his hands. He was scared. Horrified. What was this? Why did they all look like... Undyne when she was dying...

         What happened here...?

         "MK?" The fusion didn't hear Flowey speak this time, for too many thoughts and emotions were swirling in their head. On top of MK's own fright and confusion, Lucy was terrified and on the defensive, and that, unfortunately, was beginning to show through the magic they both now possessed.

         Eyes turning yellow, the fusion glanced back and forth from the two amalgamated boxing them in, yellow bullets beginning to form in the air around them. The dog amalgamate moving back allowed MK to feel somewhat better, but the fact that the amalgamate containing the snowdrake had tried advancing was only making things worse.

         "Go away." His voice was shaky, but he was trying. He didn't want to hurt anyone, especially when he didn't know how much of an affect his new and improved magic would have on the sluggish creatures. Unfortunately, the request did nothing. They needed to be harsher than that.

          "Just go away!" Lucy had taken the reins for the moment, though MK had clearly had a say in this command. The voice sounded dual, like it overlapped with another's. And that was enough to scare the amalgamates into actually taking some steps back.

         For a moment, they just stood there, MK and Lucy on the defensive with the amalgamates staring in fear and confusion. As this happened, Flowey refused to say a word, and then finally, someone came to their rescue.

        "E-Everyone! C-c-calm down-!" The sound of the timid scientist quickly garnered the attention of everyone in the room, the amalgamates all pausing to look her way as she ran into view.

         "Finally!" Flowey's exasperated yet relieved whine was quick to disrupt the grim mood. "What took you so long?!"

         Unfortunately for Flowey, Alphys wasn't looking at him, but rather she was staring at the panicked monster as well as what he was holding. A human soul. The murderous human's soul. And he, MK... He looked so different. She knew she'd seen him before, and he didn't look like that. What did... "E-Excuse me-"
