Chapter 10 Making a Weeb A Scientist Was A Mistake

     Lydia stared at the giant white building in front of her in misery. Hotland was way too hot. She would have gone into the, most likely, air conditioned building but she had no idea what to expect in there. All she knew was that it was some kind of lab, if the sign outside wasn't lying to her. Sierra was just vibing as ghosts had no temperature.

     Lydia tried to call Conrus (and, technically, also Undyne since she was hanging out with him) about the weird Hotland lab, unfortunately, they got into an argument about Undyne having a crush on someone? It resulted in the two throwing bones and spears at each other. The call ended when someone threw spaghetti at the phone.

     So, yeah, that wasn't very helpful.

     Lydia took a deep breath of hot, hot air and walked through the white doors. Into...blackness..? Where is the light switch? Sierra was fine. For some reason ghost things have night vision.

     Lydia soon discovered that her every move was being watched by a camera. She realised this because a giant screen was displaying her walking blindly in the dark room.

     Looking ahead, Lydia could just make out the outline of a door, the exit! About halfway to the door a different door opened, revealing a monster that looked like a combination between some kind of lizard and Sonic the Hedgehog's deformed cousin, in a lab coat. They turned on the light.

     "Oh! O-Oh no, you weren't s-supposed to be here yet! I didn't have a chance to hide my m-manga collection!" They turned away and started whispering. "Well I guess everything would be fine if she didn't go upstairs." They remembered Lydia was still there. "I-I mean there's n-nothing upstairs, actually there isn't even an upstairs!"

     "What?" Lydia turned to Sierra but she was just as confused.

     "A-anyway. I-I'm Dr. Alphys, the r-royal scientist. I w-was instructed to, uh, watch over your journey a-and come up with an e-effective way to, uh, let's say.. c-cut your journey short?"

     "Wait, you've been stalking me?!?" Almost everyone here had tried to kill her so Lydia wasn't at all concerned that this weird scientist lady was out for her too. "Bro, this weird thing is creepy." Sierra said in reference to Alphys.

     "N-no! No, I was observing your p-progress. I t-thought that you w-would have been more c-concerned about the fact I a-accidentally made a gay killer robot that thirsts for h-human blood."

     "Wait, you did what?" Lydia was actually more impressed that Alphys made a robot gay than she was concerned about her safety. Sierra nodded in approval, she likes that summary.

     "Y-you see the thing is, w-watching you through my hidden cameras (that no one but me knows about) made me root f-for you. (Except-when-you-were-fighting-with-Undyne-I-couldn't-watch-that-part.I-really-didn't-want-Undyne-to-get-hurt-but-I-didn't-want-you-to-die-so..A-anyway) So I d-decided I would turn that r-robot off, but I couldn't find him. D-don't worry though. I'm s-sure he didn't go far, you won't even have to see him a-at all."

     Just then Lydia heard a loud thumping noise.

     "Did you hear something?" Lydia nodded to Alphys's question while looking towards the direction of the noise. There was more thudding, wait, was that a chainsaw!?! Alyphys muttered "oh no" before someone else started talking.

     "Oh yes!" Unfortunately it wasn't the Kool-aid Man, but instead the hottest calculator Lydia had ever seen! That or a rectangular robot monster named Mettaton.

     He seemed to be the only thing in this world that wasn't a mistake. Perfect ninety degree angles, beautifully polished metal coating, and the way he called everyone "Darling" with his soothing yet robotic voice; Lydia could already see this robot reclined on top of a piano feeding himself grapes while rose petals fluttered around him. "He needs a solo number of I need a hero." Sierra whispered causing the robot, Mettaton, to look in her direction.
