Upside-down

Frisk woke up on a bed of golden flowers, buttercups to be exact, and could hear the water running around. She had a bitter copper taste in her mouth and everything seemed a bit blurry. She then realized she was sittin gin poisonous flowers...Her ears were ringing but she tried sitting up. A really strong pain shot from her wing to her back and she flinched and stopped. She looked to the side at her wing. It was stuck in the dirt where the flowers were growing from. They were now tainted red by her blood. She reached a hand on the spear and inhaled. She counted to three and pulled the spear out, frying her hand in the proces. 

The spear fell to her side, covered in her blood and next to it were a few of her feathers. She pouted. Her poor feathers...She sat up, after her third try and wobbled around, still losing blood. She was dirty and bloody and tired. She just wanted to lay down and close her eyes. It looked like she was somewhere that seemed to be a dump. The water was flowing from the ceiling that was too high up to be seen. She could recognize some of the brands from the garbage..movies and books all in the water that was reddening because of her and her wing. She almost tripped on some shampoo bottles. She could see some records, a tv and a vhs player..those were old....a bicycle...and even some toys. There were some anime cd's and figurines.She passed by a star and saved and continues her way towards the end of the dump.Right at the door, she passes by a training dummy. The dummy seemed to be looking at her, but she bearly made a few steps, when the thing came to life right then and there. 

The dummy flew in the air and blocked her passage. She looked at it, confused and trying to keep up with it since her vision was still blurry. She could bearly focus on him. 

"HAH! Too intimidated to fight me, huh?! I'm a human, not a dummy!! How..? EASY!! MAKE-UP!!" The dummy rubbed off the make up and now it looked like a..really...hazzy..human...She can't see properly and her head was throbbing. She was still losing blood. 

"HAH!! YOU ARE SO WEAK YOU CAN BEARLY STAND! Taking your soul will be piece of cake!!" Everything faded to black as she found herself in that white square again. The 'human dummy' was now sending tiny magical dummies towards her. They were so bad that all she had to do was step out of the way and let the magic hit him instead. But she was growing weaker and weaker....as he changed his attacks to 'robot dumies' she finally got hit and went flying back. She landed on her broken wing and screamed in pain. 

Down the hall leading to the dump were the two brother's teleporting closer. Sans couldn't do the whole jump in one piece so he needed to take it slow. He was tired but he didn't care as he heard the pained scream coming from down the cavern's halls. Papyrus looked worriedly as his brother as they both sprinted towards the dump. There they stepped into a fight. Frisk was on her back as a human was surrounding her with some sort of magical attacks. 

"HAH! Say bye-bye little monster." Sans eyes started flaring. 

"bye bye fucker..." The human turned around and series of bones flew at him, throwing him away like the trash he was. The two brothers rushed to her side as soon as the black faded and the colors came back. Frisk could bearly see and she was still losing blood. 

"shit shit shit...paps, can you do something?!" Papyrus nodded. 

"KEEP HER CONCIOUS AS I HE-- OH MY GOD!! HER WING!!" Sans looked at her wing and could feel himself pale at the gruesome sight. He turned away but Frisk was starting to slip out of conciousness. 

"no no no frisk! stay awake!" Frisk blinked a few times but it was clear her vision was hazzy. 

"i'm sleepy..." She said with a horse voice. Sans frowned. 

"later...now..what's 2+2..?" Frisk took way too long for his liking to say:

"4..." Sans norrowed his eyes. 

"what's 3x3..?" She took way too long again. She answeared. 

"9.." He sighed in relief when she finally answeared. 

"what's your name..?" She was silent. Sans shook her a bit. She groaned. Ok she was somewhat concious..she was slipping in and out of conciousness. Suddenly she went limp in his arms. 

"frisk..?" He asked, worriedly. 

"FRISK?!" He yelled as Papyrus looked up concerned. The time wasn't reseting either...her soul wasn't coming out...but she was just standing there, like she was dead. 

"damn it frisk..FRISK?! if you can hear me...reset buddy...reset ok? i know, you know what i mean...COME ON!!" Finally her soul came out and he shut his eyes tightly, hoping with all his soul the reset would occur. 

*LOAD SUCCESFUL*

Frisk gasped for air as she found herself lying down next to the little glimmering star. 

Sans opened his eyes only to find himself and his brother two short-cuts away from Frisk. He didn't even bother making two, he did a huge leap which drained his power a lot but didn't care as he ran towards the dump. He stopped when he almost passed the 'dummy' and pulled out a bone and hit it with it. He ran and fell on his knees right next to her. She was crying. 

"shhh...it's ok...it's all over...shhh.." He said as he gently held her and Papyrus came to heal her wing. 

"TINY MONSTER! OH MY GOD! YOUR WING!!" 

"hey...come on kiddo..don't cry..what's wrong.."

"i was fine...but the pain...s-so sleepy...fuzzy...i-it hurt..i was suffocating..dark..so dark...it was dark..i was drowning-- i--" Sans stopped her. 

"shhh...it's fine frisk..you are ok now..calm down.." She was crying and shaking. He didn't know dying hurt so much...he just assumed the monsters came out of it unscratched..yet...he was wrong. How he wished he reacted faster by pullig Papyrus with his blue magic...but he let her be the one sacraficing herself instead. Now she just died for the first time and it must have been like something out of a horror movie. He hugged her tighter and swore that when he will see Undyne he will make her pay for this. She was so kind and innocent, not like the other monsters...literal beasts...she didn't deserve this..any of this...She finally stopped shaking and was now unconcious but stable. She transformed back to her smaller form, her wings vanishing now that they were in an ok condition. Papyrus sighed. 

"I AM GLAD SHE IS OK...DO YOU WANT ME TO CARRY HER, BROTHER??" Papyrus asked. Sans looked at her and shook his head. 

"it's fine paps...but...do you think we can find a place where she can properly rest..?" Sans asked. That's when a very pale human came into view. They took their headphones down and looked at the monster. 

"Oh no...what happened..? ...i couldn't help but overhear what you said...if you want you can use my place....it's ok if you don't want to-"

"YES!" Both brothers said, quickly agreeing. The pale human looked confused but then smiled a bit. 

"i am happy to help the nice monster....i met her in the ruins before...i am Napstablook!" Sans sighed in relief seeing that he was telling the truth. 

~~~~~~~~~~

Frisk woke up with a sore back. She sat up from a small bed...well..actually a sleeping bag. She sat up and pain immediately shot through her back. Aw man..what the heck..? She was back in her smaller form. She immediately changed into her bigger form and summoned her wings. She froze as she looked at her right wing. If she could turn pale she would. Tears started streaming down her face. Her feathers were gone from where she was hit and it looked gruesome...dried blood was still stuck between her feathers and she could almost see the hole...even if it was now somewhat healed. Her wings...her beautiful wings...how could this happen...?? She wanted to scream but she just stood there, frozen in front of the mirror in this house god knows where. She couldn't move. She fell to her knees in hoplessness. Sans stepped in.

"hey pidge are you u--....oh...oh bucko, what's wrong..?" Sans asks as he steps closer. She opens her eyes. They were different colored. Immediately as she locked eyes with Sans they turned a light baby blue....sadness...patcience..but for what? She blinked and they turned orange...but she shook her head like trying to get her thoughts in place and they were back to honey yellow. 

"frisk..? are you ok..?" She shook her head as she cradled herself on the floor in front of the mirror. 

"what's wrong, buddy..? come on...i want to help.." Frisk sighed. 

"i..i just...my wings...i can't- i don't..i-...they're-" Sans looked at her wing and his gaze softened. He came close and his hand hovered over the wound. 

"tell me if it hurts..ok..?" She nodded and he gently put a finger on the wound. She flinched. He immediately retracted his hand. 

"i am sure..you'll be fine..ok..?" It was clear he was even more worried than her. He was sweating bullets. He could bearly look at her wing. 

"i am..so sorry frisk..i should have reacted faster and nothing would have happened...now you're hurt and it's all my fault.." He said as he rubbed his neck awkwardly, but to his surprise, she hugged him. She pulled him in a tight hug. 

"don't....don't blame yourself...it was either this...or paps..and i'd much rather have my wing broken than seeing paps die..." He chuckled. She was so kind sometimes. Napstablook walked in. 

"Frisk--!"

"..."

"..."

"......oh.....am i...interrupting...? i can come back later--"

"NO!" Both of them said as they broke the hug. 

"i-it's fine Napstablook....thank you for helping me.." She said with a smile. Sans looked away blushing. Damn it...he didnt expect the albino guy to walk in. The guy smiled. 

"no problem...anything for a friend...." She beamed. 

"REALLY?! WE'RE FRIENDS..?!" Napstablook looked sad again.

"i mean....if you don't want to...."

"NO! I would love to be your friend!" Suddenly Sans noticed something. Frisk's wound was healing a bit. 

"uhh-- frisk..? why is your wound healing??" Frisk looked confused then realized what he meant and hit her head. 

"you see...monster traits are still magical..like..fur and..horns and...a tail...and wings too, in my case...So they sometimes heal from positivity and feelings like happiness and..i don't know..love..? Yeah. Stuff like that. Excitement too. We were the ones with magic a long time ago, after all. You didn't actually expect me to regenerate at normal speed right..? i would have been long gone dead in this place." Made sense in his book stil..someone happy to make a friend..? such a pure soul.

Frisk could finally analize properly the whole place. It was a one room house with a really high roof. It had a small window up on the wall where the door was. There was a small kitchen and living room type of thing with a bed on the side and a bathroom. It was a cute house. She learned that the albino human, Napstablook, was into being a DJ and had a really nice cousin that died...but apperently, the royal scientist brought him back as a robot, by using his soul somehow. The doctor managed to capture a human soul which was pretty impossible. They exited Napstablooks house, which looked like an adorable ghost, and next to it was his cousins old house. They found out that their albino friend has a family business..of snails. And she knew just the person who used to be their best buyer..Toriel. She said something about snail pie at one point, if she recalled correctly. Papyrus and Frisk then spent their G's on a dumb race between snails. Frisk won and Papyrus snail caught...fire...someway...The three unfortunately had to leave. Not far from Napstablook's house Papyrus told her was Undyne's house. They avoided that place for now. They kept going and found themselves into a small shop which was lead by an old man. He was super nice and gave Frisk free candy. Sans didn't let her walk however...so she was being carried in his hood. She didn't mind. It was really comfy. They walked first in some caverns. They were covered in wirtings as well. The text was talking about the power of the monster souls. Papyrus tried to tell her it wasn't important.....but she knew it was about their freedom. She now had her mind set...these human's deserved freedom. She didn't really have anything to go back to in the first place...might as well die for a great cause....she won't tell the brothers...she will let them guide her until they reach the King.  

They quickly got out of the caverns and hit another echo-field. It had the same mechanism with the mushrooms. That's how they ended up in Temmie village. Sans seemed quite annoyed but Papyrus was more than happy to explain to Frisk that Temmies.were.so.fucking.GREEDY AND DUMB! One of them was protecting a boiled egg....thinking it would hatch..and they were allergic to it! They left and from the light and beautiful patch of glowing mushrooms they got to a dark room. Frisk was finally walking on her own. They walked until they hit a dead end. The only thing was a patch of tall grass and an echo flower. Frisk didn't get a chance to touch it as she heard something. 

"B E H I N D    Y O U." They all turned around and the light in the room seemed to get stronger, like on a dramatic que on something.She would have found that strange if she wasn't frozen in shock alongside the two humans as the three were standing in front of the armored human. 

"Seven." Frisk tilted her head in confusion. 

"Seven monster souls and With the power of seven monster souls, our king...King ASGORE DREEMURR..." Toriel's ex..? Frisk tried hard not to think of the dumb nickname Sans gave him, because the king was a softie, King fluffybuns. 

"..will become a GOD. With that power, ASGORE can finally shatter the barrier." Frisk norrowed her eyes even more. 

"He will finally take the surface back from monsterkind." Frisk scoffed. The two brothers looked surprised as she opened her eyes and her eyes were changing again and they were orange again. She grew to her normal form and took a few steps towards the armored human. 

"And...what will that do..HUH? What will that do...if he goes out with no knowledge no NOTHING and declares war. He kills thousand of innocent monsters, kids, families, he brings chaos and then what? What is the price..? What will that give you? The old generation that trapped you here has been dead for hundreds of years...and so have been the people who lived through the war from the Underground." Undyne stopped. Frisk and her were at a few feet distance with the patch of tall grass to their side. 

"I-..." Undyne tried to start. But Frisk was smarter. 

"You what? You never probably considered the fact that monsters, just like humans, have families, lives, jobs, loved ones and all your king was planning is to ruin it, eh? Not so nice to learn you lived a lie now is it?"

'Because i already lived mine..'  Were the words that resonated in her mind. The words of a dear person...that had one day left to return to their rightful home...but got lost on the road. Undyne watched the determined monster as their eyes changed to red. 

"TSK...LISTEN MONSTER! THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE AT REDEMPTION!!" Undyne said as she summoned a spear. So facts didn't work with force. Noted..

"GIVE UP YOUR SOUL! OR I WILL TEAR IT FROM YOUR BODY! I'll even make the brothers watch!!" Sans and Papyrus stepped between them. Frisk got closer and stood right in front of the point of the spear. 

"Alright...do it." Frisk said solemnly. The humans all froze. There was rusttling in the grass then a kid popped up. 

"UNDYNE! I'll help you fight!" Mk..? Oh no...The kid looked at the human then at the monster and the two brothers. 

"YO! You did it! Undyne is RIGHT in front of you! You've got front row seats to her fight!!" He started looking at the two again. 

"....wait. who's she fighting..?" The armored human let the spear desintegrate as she pulled the kid by his ear and started leaving. 

"H-hey! Wait! You won't tell my parents about this, right...?" Frisk and the two brothers watched as the other two left and they sighed in relief. After that Frisk was pulled in a group hug by the two bros. 

"huh?!" 

"you...are...so..RECKLESS!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Sans yelled at her. Papyrus nodded. 

"INDEED TINY MONSTER! YOUR RECKLESSNESS MAY HAVE COSTED YOUR LIFE!!" She giggled. 

"It's fine..now then..shall we continue..?" 

"yeah, sure."

"INDEED! WE ARE QUITE BEHIND SCHEDULE! BUT! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL MAKE SURE WE ARRIVE ON TIME!" Frisk smiled as the three started walking again. The next room was beautiful. It was another wishing room. Small fireflies were everywhere. Papyrus tried to catch a few. No success. Frisk smiled sadly as the monster and then looked around. She found what she wanted in the roots coming from the walls. A type of plant. She took it and smeered it on Papyrus hand and let him hold the root. He looked confused. 

"TINY MONSTER I DO NOT SEE WHY-- OH MY GOD! SANS LOOK! THE FIREFLIES ARE ATTRACTED TO MY HAND!! NYEH HEH HEH!!" He said laughing as she started running around with the fireflies chasing him. Sans looked at Frisk and she gave the older human a thumbs up. He pat her head, which made her blush. 

"pfft...never change kiddo." They exited the wishing room and ended up on more bridges. They were about to step off when...

"Hey you!!" They all turned around. It was Mk, standing awkwardly. He slowly made his way closer. 

"Yo, i know i'm not supposed to be here, but..I wanna ask you something." Sans norrowed his eyes and frowned as his smile flattered a bit. 

"ask her on a dat..i fucking dare you, you--" Papyrus smacked him. 

"SHUT UP, SANS!!" Frisk looked at the kid. 

"Man, i've never had to ask anyone this before..." Mk said, looking down and wiggling his feet. Frisk tilted her head in confusion. 

"paps let me at him...i just wanna 'chat'"

"NO!!"

"Yo, You're monster...right?" Sans froze and then burst into laughter. The two were now fighting in the background. Frisk nodded and smiled at the kid. 

"haha. Man! I knew it!..well...i know it now, i mean...Undyne told me to 'stay away from that monster'." Frisk was mostly confused at the fact it took him this long to realize. 

"So, like, umm...i guess that makes us enemies or something...But i kinda stink at that, haha. Yo, say something mean so i can hate you?" Frisk shook her head. Mk looked dumbfound then blushed. 

"Haha...you're so nice....Fine, i'll do it! 'i hate your guts!'...Man, i am such a turd. I'm gonna go home now." As Mk was walking back the bridge shook and Undyne stepped on it. The kid fell and was now holding onto the edge. Frisk gasped and both the brothers turned towards her and wanted to pull her away. 

"frisk..i think we shoul-- FRISK WAIT!!" Sans said, but she was already running towards the human child. 

"TINY MONSTER!! DON'T!!" Papyrus yelled as well, but she was already lifting him up and helping him. Undyne was just watching. 

"what the fuck?! what type of head of the royal guard leaves a child to fall of a bridge and only watches as he is being helped?! one hell of a guard you are!! your priority is our damn safety, Undyne!!" Sans barked at the human in armor. She flinched. 

"YES INDEED, UNDYNE!! I, SECOND IN COMMAND, THINK YOU ARE DOING YOUR JOB AWFULLY!!" That's when Mk stepped in front of her. All four of them stopped. 

"Y...Y..yo! Dude! If...if y-you wanna hurt my friend...You're gonna have to get through me, first!" Frisk opened her eyes in surprise as they changed colors around and then they were back to their original yellow. Undyne backed away and left. 

"she's gone...yo..you really saved me there and..you're so awesome and cool..Guess being enemies was just a nice thought.." The kid said with a blush. Frisk smiled at the kid. 

"We'll have to be friends instead..unless...maybe you would like to..be more than th--" Sans stepped in. 

"hey frisk! come on...we gotta get going." He said as he hoisted her up. Mk frowned. 

"DUDE! I was trying to ask her to be my girlfrie--" 

"she's taken kid, beat it." The kid frowned and left stomping. Frisk looked at Sans confused. He looked away blushing. 

"he's too young, ok? he was also getting...on my nerves..." Papyrus sighed. 

"SUCH A WEIRD BROTHER I HAVE...HUH?" Frisk chuckled. Sans raised a brow. 

"what's that supposed to mean..?"

"NOTHING, BROTHER. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT!" Frisk laughed alongside Papyrus as Sans watched in confusion. The three started walking again. That's when they arrived at the place where Undyne usually was. 

"man..we gotta fiht her now..we ran too long from this." Frisk got down and looked at the two as she changed forms again. 

"No...i will fight her...You take Papyrus somewhere up forward. You have a station at the start of Hotland right..? Teleport there." Sans looked at her. 

"TINY MONSTER FRISK! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUSLY THINKING TO FIGHT HER ALONE!!" Papyrus said worriedly. 

"I do not want you two getting hurt because of me..ok..?" Frisk said with pleading squinted eyes. Sans looked at her. 

"come on kid...don't...none of us will get hurt..come on..." But Frisk shook her head. He sighed as he took his brothers hand. 

"come on paps.." 

"BROTHER WAI--" And the two teleported away. Frisk gently touched the shining glimmering star in front of Undyne's huge clif. This was it...

The fight with Undyne will start soon. 

Oh how she hoped she won't die...

But she was  W R O N G.
