Everything's Alright: An Undertale Story

Chapter 13: Mettaton's Time

Logan's Point of View

I looked across the bridge, the long way up. The six of us stared at the dark door, probably leading into the exit. I blinked, seeing the six of our hearts beating... 

My red one with a new level of determination; Juan's orange soul, playful with every 'THUMP', Collin's lime green kept beating faster with enthusiasm, energy and happiness, Red purple heartbeat calmer, yet filled with help. Matthew's deep blue heart, and Jonathan's yellow heart, beat slowly full of care. I took a deep breath, all of my friends walked ahead of me.

 I think we were ready for the next thing that would happen. Soon a muffled robot spoke inside the room.

"Come any closer, and I'll be forced to show you my true form." Mettaton spoke. 

We ducked behind the corner wall, watching. A man a bit younger than me stood in front of Mettaton, who seemed to sense our presence. Mettaton slowly circled the man, holding a knife, and stopped in front of our hiding spot, like he was protecting us. 

The man face Mettaton, unable to see us. He brushed his brown hair out of his glowing eyes with a hand that was pale, but paler than Juan's.

His eyes were replaced with all black. Matthew, and Collin's eyes widened, their hands were holding Juan's wrists to keep him from sprinting over. 

Juan's knees went down as Red and Jonathan knelt down with him, to keep Juan from crying out, while I quietly got in front of them to protect them.

"Ready?" Mettaton said as he drew out the 'r'.

"It's SHOWTIME!" Mettaton yelled, as he turned glowing white and blinding us.

"A... Aid..." Juan seemed to hold in his cry. Mettaton turned into a human-like robot, with guns for hands and wings, he looked like a robot model or superstar. 

Aiden rushed towards and stabbed Mettaton straight through his hear-shaped core with his knife. Someone seemed to bang on the door, screaming.

"METTATON! METTATON... OH *** NO!" Alphys stopped and her yells were now more silent by Mettaton's loud robotic voice.

"G... Guess you don't want to join f... Fan club?" Metatton laughed weakly before he exploded into tiny bits of metal and tin. Aiden walked over to pick up his knife, Matthew and Collin looked at Juan, nodding.

"AIDEN!" Juan yelled out in fear. Aiden looked at Juan with his black eyes and easily kicked him out of the way of his knife, as Juan coughed to the sudden impact.

"Juan." Aiden started as he seemed to smile.

"You weakling." He says with a forced smile.

"A-Aiden...!" Juan said coughing. Aiden held up his hand to stall for time, as Matthew and Jonathan tugged on Aiden's hands, so he wouldn't hit Juan.

"Aiden, this isn't-" Juan began, but Aiden turned around and hit them in the head, both of them fell to the ground.

"MATTHEW! JONATHAN!" Red yelled sprinting over, only to have Aiden throw a piece pf metal at her, with Red being slammed into the wall and sliding to the ground. Collin looked at the knife where Aiden was only a few feet away. 

Collin kicked it out of the way, towards me. I got it and stuffed it in my backpack. Then I looked back up as Collin fell onto the floor, a huge bruise on his chest.

I was alone, with only Juan up, but he wasn't gonna be of any help. I was waiting for Aiden to come closer, I blinked seeing a small child child on Aiden's shoulders as I had on Juan's. But the child had all-black eyes, some black even leaking down the child's cheeks. 

The child giggled their hands around Aiden's pale neck. I leaned to the left as Aiden swung some metal at me, the metal ended up hitting the wall. As I saw Mettaton's emotionless face, in tiny pieces, and I knew I had to stay determined, as I kept dodging.

Then I jumped backwards, out of the way of Aiden's fist. I saw a smiling Aiden, with innocence in his eyes, kind and sweet like a child, this Aiden was different, but he could change. I stepped backwards, only to feel a wall, while I avoided a large kick. Aiden didn't look tired, he seemed happy, as he stepped forwards.

'He's easy to possess.' I heard a small voice innocently say.

'Chara took him because she hated his kindness and playfulness. If you're kind to people, it's easier to let people in, right?' I heard as I side-stepped as AIden into where I was before.

"Aiden." I said as I held in a yelp as a piece of metal made a cut in my ankle, the small voice continued to give support. Instead of falling to the ground since I was tired, I smiled at Aiden as he neared, finding the knife that had fallen out of my bag.

"Juan misses you." I said smiling as Aiden rose his hand. I cloed my eyes as he brought the knife down. I remembered how Matthew did the same before waking up, how Juan had put his hand back, ready to strike. 

Suddenly, I opened my eyes, as Aiden's arm was hesitant to come fully down, inches above my shoulder, and I smiled.

"You forgot to do something, remember?" I asked, smiling. The child was speaking through me, basically. I walked to Juan and helped him up, Aiden's hand dropped the knife on the floor, where it stopped. He looked around, the child on his shoulder was gone. I heard a little bit of screaming in my head, and I smiled.

"J... Juan? Where are we?" Aiden said looking around the battlefield, seeing the scattered parts of Mettaton everywhere.

"Did I do this?" Aiden asked, his normal human eyes were back, as Juan bear-hugged him.

"I missed you, bud." Juan says as I closed my eyes and saw Aiden's light blue heart, not like Matthew's deep blue one, it beats with playfulness and innocence. 

I smiled, tiredly, as I slid down a wall as the two friends huge, and watched Red, Matthew, Collin, and Jonathan slowly get up as I fell asleep.
