Upside-down

"...i don't really think this is a good idea..." Sans said frowning at her. Frisk shook her head at him as she was sitting on his shoulder. 

"..can you go alone...? i don't want to go back in that damned place." Frisk looked at him and sighed. She nodded. Sans eyes widened and he sighed as well. 

"you're so overly understanding..." Frisk giggled as the elevator stopped and they both exited, going towards the LAB. Sans stopped at the door and put Frisk down. She inhaled and exhaled and started walking in. Sans sighed. 

"hope you never change, flower..." Frisk stepped inside the LAB only to find the lights were dim and more piles of papers were on her desk...alongside some unopened letters. A LOT of unopened letters. She stepped forward and found herself in front of Alphy's bathroom...but it wasn't a bathroom. In front of it stood a note. 

'Hey. Thanks for your help back there. You guys... Your support really means a lot to me. But...as difficult as it is to say this...You guys can't magically make my problems go away. I want to be a better person. I don't want to be afraid anymore. And for that to happen, i have to be able to face my own mistakes. I'm going to start doing that now. I want to be clear. This isn't anyone else's problem but mine. But if you don't ever hear from me again...If you want to know 'the truth'...Enter the door to the north of this note. You all at least deserve to know what i did.' Frisk raised her eye-brow as she left the note there and started walking in the darkness behind that door. Instead of a bathroom she found an elevator. She pressed the button and the elevator started going down...that is until alarms started ringing loudly. A robotic voice could be heard:

'WARNING! WARNING! ELEVATOR LOSING POWER!! EM THETER STABILITY LOST!! ALTITUDE DROPPING!!' Frisk went flying as the elevator started dropping and she hit the ceiling, causing her to lose consciousness. And then it all went black...When she finally was awake her head was throbbing and a quiet ringing could be heard. She woke up on the floor. It took a few seconds to realize where she was. She stepped outside and instead of finding herself in a clean environment...she was in an old dusty and dirty place. No lights, no heat, no nothing. A cold dead space underneath the world, forgotten by time itself.  Cold air was surrounding her. Fog was forming at her feet. Moss was forming in the cracks between the tilted walls and floor. The place maybe once used to be clean but now it had a green-ish dark look to it. No one stepped in here in ages...or rather...no one took care of the place in ages. She saw a screen in front of her. She stepped towards it and right as she approached it, it lit up. Sensors...this place wasn't as old as she first assumed. The neon green letters read the following:

'ENTRY NUMBER 1

This is it... Time to do what the King has asked me to do. I will create the power to free us all. I will unleash the power of the SOUL.'  

Frisk frowned. So Alphys has been messing with forces that weren't supposed to be altered. Frisk opened her eyes properly. This was worth to look at with full eyes. She started walking down and to no ones surprise: she found another screen. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 2

The barrier is locked by SOUL power.. Unfortunately, this power cannot be recreated artificially. SOUL power can only be derived from what was once living. So, to create more, we will have to use what we have now... The SOULs of humans.'  

Frisk froze as she stared at the last two words. Alphys wouldn't.....she-- was desperate. She would. This is what she was hiding. You poor demented thing. 

'Knowledge can be a bliss and a curse. A curse...because the thirst for knowledge may be your own downfall...or God forbids making the wrong experiment...' Those words resonated in her head. One of the many things she took to heart. She was just as dangerous as the woman that researched these. But there were more entries. They however...weren't in order. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 5

I've done it. Using the blueprints, I've extracted it from the monster SOULs. I believe this is what gives their SOULs the strength to persist after death. The will to keep living... The resolve to change fate. Let's call this power... "Determination."'  

Frisk stiffened as her eyes started changing colors in fear. Determination. Determination...yeah...she knew the feeling so to speak. It kept her going so much of the time....Determination...her last will to live...huh...wonder how life feels without it...She took a turn and walked upwards. The place was getting colder as she started to go in deeper. Creepy...She entered a lobby similar to the one she saw in the CORE...Could it be this was built by the same person..? She found a huge metal door with 4 locks in it, each having a different color for it. The key-holes were all different too. There was a sign that said that was the 'POWER ROOM'. Oh... Guess she needed to find the keys as well to get out....In the room there was a vending machine, a dead plant and one of the save points. She saved and continued her adventure. She found a note on the ground. She couldn't make it all out. 

"elevator...lost power....enter the center room" That's all she could make out. So there were notes telling her what to do. Frisk kept going and she could find the keys. She was growing annoyed at this place...but for some reason she couldn't blame Alphys...but this place did give her the creeps and BADLY! That's when she found another entry. She prepared herself to read what it could possibly say. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 6

ASGORE asked everyone outside the city for humans that had "fallen down." Their bodies came in today. They're still comatose... And soon, they'll all turn into dust. But what happens if I inject "determination" into them? If their SOULS persist after they perish, then... Freedom might be closer than we all thought.' 

Inject...what?! So she thought that she could inject determination into the souls and make them persist...but...there must be a reason that human's didn't have souls persistent after death....Something clicked inside Frisk's mind. Magic....she did the right thing but she needed to also give them more magic...Each human she encountered...they were humanoid only in looks...they were all made of magic...that was what they ate, that was what they used, that was what made this place, that was what they needed. If they wanted to be like how they were before...they needed magic....oh this experiment surely went downhill...No wonder the place was abandoned. Frisk could feel herself shudder at the mere thought of such experiments taking place. This place was just a bad omen...It would have been better off forgotten. 

The next room was...morbid to say the least.....Operating tables you would see at the hospital were aligned next to a wall...and Frisk was sure those tables weren't for a normal surgery. They were still sticky... The fog filled the room. She could almost make out the faint sounds of echoes coming from cries of pain. Oh Alphys...What have you done in this place? This place was...Frisk froze as she noticed another entry.

'ENTRY NUMBER 9

things aren't going well. none of the bodies have turned into dust, so I can't get the SOULs. I told the families that I would give them the dust back for the funerals. people are starting to ask me what's happening. what do I do?' 

Frisk winced internally. She already knew this was going downhill but...If they never died...were the humans still here?? But her assumption was right...the Determination didn't let them die. They will keep fighting even if there's nothing left to fight for. Unfortunately...it's the way things work. Alphys however couldn't know that. They were humans...they didn't know the pain Determination was causing when someone would die or be close to death. It was horrible. She got past the tables and ended up next to three sinks. She turned each one on an off...until the last one. Instead of water, white goo started dripping down. Frisk backed away. It was like someone mixed dust with water or glue...It smelled like sulfur and it started dripping down from the sink. She looked at it in disgust. Suddenly the goop started taking the shape of a face. It was...kind of cute? Frisk relaxed a bit...Until it started growing and instead there was a melted human inside the sink. It was devoid of any color and it looked like it was made out of wax. She started backing away in horror but she was already pulled in an encounter.  She was dragged in an encounter and she couldn't get out. A sad song started playing out of nowhere as it coming from the human...monster...thing? in front of her. It's smile faltered at the edges. One thing was clear...they didn't want to actually harm her. They tried to say something but only static came out. Their attacks were little dots who turned into creepy smiles. But the attacks were easy to dodge...like they weren't on purpose. More static came from the three headed melted monster. That's when she got an idea. She opened her phone and opened the radio app. She started changing the frequency. The static would get lower, louder, sometimes it almost sounded like a voice, as she kept changing it, until she could finally hear something. Her eyes widened and changed to a sad blue as she heard the things voice. 

"come...join the...f-fun" They said. Frisk tilted her head. Fun? Oh...They were just lonely. Frisk smiled and raised her hand. The human looked at her hand and raised it's own. Frisk's smile grew and she raised her other other. The melted human beamed in a creepy type of way. They followed her steps. This played this weird Simon Says, hearing the human laugh. She smiled. They must have missed having a friend. They spared Frisk and they vanished somewhere in the halls, leaving the sink empty. Frisk looked at the sink and saw a glimmer inside of it. She smirked as she stuck her hand inside and managed to get the first key out. A red old key, a bit rusty, yet it glimmered in the nonexistent light of the place with a small fluorescent glow. She took it and remembered Alphys gave her a literal key chain in her phone upgrade. She put it in. One down, 3 more to go. She entered a small room to the side of the sinks. There she found a note on the ground and a weird looking machine who seemed to be connected to the main power room. It had red on it. The red key fitted perfectly inside the red slot. She heard some rumbling but that was it. She went down the way she came and saw that the red light on the main door was now lit up. Interesting... The door to her right too was lit up red. She was able to go in. Another hallway. More entries. She readied herself for this. She inhaled and exhaled and let the green letters show her the secrets of this place. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 12

nothing is happening. I don't know what to do. I'll just keep injecting everything with "determination.". I want this to work.'  

It was like she was walking deeper inside madness. The writings were getting more and more desperate. Determination will just increase their will to live and imbalance everything inside their souls. Those humans she saw, were no longer humans...they were now closer to being monsters...but...they weren't that either. But she knew calling them thing and humans was wrong. They were anything but those. Lost minds in the determination of a soul, maddened by their will to live. How does it feel to wake up from death..? Frisk knew all too well. The overwhelming feeling and pain. The screams and the jumble of senses. She hated determination...she hated and despised it yet...she couldn't...Her brother wouldn't want this. Her brother....Just by thinking about it she can feel her soul break in pieces. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 13

one of the bodies opened its eyes.'  

She saw it before. The search for answers and progress, hoping that it will work yet failing miserably take someone from her. She still thinks about the masked doctor from the orphanage, her only friend in such a cruel place. It was the reason why he left after all. This place was making her sick. She sighed and moved on. Even understanding the situation it was still sickening. .What Alphys was doing was wrong...yet...was she truly? After all...they were desperate...they have been trapped down here for generations. They couldn't even remember the stars and the sun...This 'truth' was devastating indeed... The next room shook Frisk down to the core. It was a weird room with beds all over. Around 9 of them. There was a food bowl like there were some sort of animals down there. The beds all had their covers on, apart from one. She made the stupid decision to lay in it. To her surprise, just like a ghost, appeared one of those melted amalgams. It slowly reached for her, but they instead grabbed the blanket. Their giant hands pulled the covers on her like a loving mother would. It patted her head gently. But as Frisk got up to take a better look at the tortured thing that just did that, they vanished, just as suddenly as they appeared. Frisk thought she could see something under one of the sheets. She got down and jumped on the bed, pulling the covers down. She found another one of the keys. It was the yellow one. She wiped it on the sheets since it was covered in sticky goo. She then put it in her chain. That's when she saw a save point in the corner. She practically ran to it. She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. That's when she found the next entry.

'ENTRY NUMBER 14

Everyone that had fallen down ... has woken up. They're all walking around and talking like nothing is wrong. I thought they were goners...?'  

Frisk sighed and moved away from the screen with a pained look. If only the human would have known. But nothing could help the blonde scientist now...apart from telling the truth...But Jesus...This place must be crawling with those melted monsters then...This will be more complicated than she thought. Frisk then moved on. She found a hallway with mirrors and buttercups... She scrunched her nose up in disgust. That's when she realized something. Didn't Sans say something about Asriel being a weed? And both Chara and Asriel both said something about them being soul-less husks. She found more entries. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 7

We'll need a vessel to wield the human SOULs when the time comes. After all, a monster cannot absorb the SOULs of other humans. Just as a monster cannot absorb a monster SOUL... So then... What about something that's neither human nor monster?' 

Frisk read the last part in horror as she felt her stomach knot itself. STUPID!! How could you think that would actually work..? What about the balance?! She may not know much but she knew one thing. There is always a balance!! A balance in chemistry, in physics, in science in general so there must be one in magic as well and Alphys broke it!! The experiment failed and now she had those...melted stuff running around...unable to return home...forever trapped in this...place...Oh...oh, she was thankful she was able to see her point of view and to understand her situation...but what will the other humans say...You poor thing....you think you actually ruined your life don't you....? 

'ENTRY NUMBER 10

experiments on the vessel are a failure. it doesn't seem to be any different from the control cases. whatever. they're a hassle to work with anyway. the seeds just stick to you, and won't let go...'  

'You know better than to trust something you see, Frisk. Follow those senses of yours. I made sure they aresharp...' She froze as she heard the voice whisper in her ear. She whipped around at the speed of light....But nobody was there. She looked around dumbfound. She shook her head as to shake herself out of the haze and slapped her face. She was truly losing it in this place. Senses huh..? 

Vessels...So that's what the flowers were for...and the scientist must have succeeded...But she took Asriel's dust with the flower as well...so it was conscious and still had his old memories...of course....so many puzzle pieces that were missing before were now falling into place. The weed was Asriel! Or how the two in the Ruins called him: Flowey. Flowey the flower...Asriel is as bad at names as the King with New Home, Snowdin, Waterfall and Hotland. Like COME ON!! Frisk sighed and kept walking. She needed to get out of this place. 

Frisk walked past some mirrors and suddenly her reflection started morphing and started getting white. A weird floating head that looked like some kind of melted doll or something appeared.  She was pulled into an encounter again. A sad music box, like a distant memory started playing. She couldn't understand what the thing was saying...But she waited for it's attack. It wasn't an attack...it kind of attacked it's self...like...corruption? Corruption? like a corrupted file? no...like something was over-lapping. Frisk tried picking on it. It seemed effective. She also did that little trick where she could remove the thumb from her hand. The melted human seemed hypnotized. She couldn't understand what the melted thing needed...they were...lost...hopeless..? What did she do when she had no hope...

'I may not be very religious but mom was...so that's why you need to pray, ok Frisky? Do it for big bro.'  Frisk got down on both of her knees and put her hands together. She prayed for the lost souls. The melted human froze, but then they relaxed. The human's single eyes teared up. Three different voices spoke up.

'finally...someone...gets...it...'

'courage...'

'Thank you...' Three different voices but the same message....praying to survive...praying for hope...the hope to be what they once were...a distant memory of a life almost forgotten. Frisk smiled at that and spared the melted amalgam of humans. She sighed and continued to the room she wanted...however she didn't have the key she needed for this mechanism. She found another note. 'cold' was all she could read. She returned to the room with beds and went straight up. That's where she found a crossroads. She went to the right first. A room filled with fans stood in front of her. The fog was thick and it was almost hard to breath. There was an entry in there too. There always was an entry at this point...

'ENTRY NUMBER 11

now that mettaton's made it big, he never talks to me anymore. ... except to ask when i'm going to finish his body. but i'm afraid if i finish his body, he won't need me anymore... then we'll never be friends ever again. ... not to mention, every time i try to work on it, i just get really sweaty...'  

Alphys just needs guiding, hope, support....a friend...and Frisk wanted to offer her just that...but she knew she couldn't. If she will take this plan to the end...it may result in her death. But she won't tell anyone...she will give them however the freedom they deserve. They will once again see the sun. Frisk will make sure of that. For now...she needed answers. And she felt that this place...might have just the right thing. The girl walked to the end of the room where she finally found a switch to turn the fans on and get rid of this absurdly thick smoke. It felt kind of sticky too....sticky..? Shit. But it was too late as the sticky fog all got pulled together in a ball. The ball grew and grew and ended up a huge amalgam of humans. It had so many faces...She could practically count some of them. She got pulled in an encounter and she could finally read the CHECK box without only seeing ???. The name appeared on the box: Amalgamate. So that's what they were called....it was after all an amalgam of these humans together. The sad music box started playing again. Another distant memory. Frisk looked at it and noticed it was waiting...for her..? To do something...? That's when she realized. They wanted affection. The pleading looks on the faces of the monster were all looking at her with puppy eyes. She inched closer and gave them a hug. She got a pat on the head from the Amalgamate and she looked up. They seemed happy. So very very happy.  So Frisk spared them. And she was on her way. She went to the hallway on the left of the crossroads. There were a few entries. She prepared herself. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 15

Seems like this research was a dead end... But at least we got a happy ending out of it...? I sent the SOULS back to ASGORE, returned the vessel to his garden... And I called all of the families and told them everyone's alive. I'll send everyone back tomorrow. :)'  

Wait...what..? They seemed normal..? Oh no...The mess must have happened later and she already told them they were alive...OF COURSE DAMN IT!! Oh, Alphys what have you done...? No wonder Sans was mad at her. She just fucked up so many lives in an attempt to save the others.

'ENTRY NUMBER 16

no No NO NO NO NO'  

She could practically hear the hell in this entry. The screams, the pain. The DESPERATION. Suddenly however...another entry materialized right there. The text started changing into-...Frisk froze. Wing...Dings..? Frisk's eyes widened as she read the entry. She could understand it but why...why was it here?? WHY WAS IT HERE?! 

'ENTRY NUMBER 17 

monsters' physical forms can't handle "determination" like humans' can. with too much determination, our bodies begin to break down. everyone's melted together...'DARK DARKER YET DARKER THE DARKNESS KEEPS GROWING THE SHADOWS CUTTING DEEPER PHOTON READINGS NEGATIVE THIS NEXT EXPERIMENT SEEMS VERY VERY INTERESTING WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK?' 

Frisk stared at it for minutes. She punched the screen. It shattered to pieces. She looked at her bleeding hand. She scrunched her nose up. She looked at the shattered pieces on the floor. She spat on them in disgust. THIS was the last thing she needed in her life. She found a new door that lead to a hallway with a bathtub at the end but a purple shower curtain was covering it. Frisk saw the shadow of something long wiggling. She gently pulled the sheet only to find...a green key lying in a bathtub. She picked it up and put it on her chain. She only had one key left to find. It's better this way. At this point..? She wanted OUT! She exited and continued her road left. That's where Frisk stopped; looking in horror at the main attraction in the room. What the hell was THAT?! It looked like a giant skull of a dead person...or a bird? a goat? some sort of animal at least...It had rust all over it and it was wired to the ceiling. ...it was...creepy...deadly..it screamed RUN from every angle. It was DANGEROUS. All Frisk could think at the moment wasn't to be disgusted by Alphys...but by another person. She thought to herself: You sick sick fuck... 

This place was getting creepier and creepier. But that thing...that THING!! was something she knew to stay away from. She watched it from a distance. Underneath the giant hanging skull was a pit...it looked bottomless. She tried to keep moving...but the skull's eyes were watching her. She entered the room to the right. She found a room with a yellow key slot. FINALLY!! She slid it in and looked at the entry she found. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 4

I've been researching monsters to see if I can find any info about their SOULS. I ended up snooping around the castle... And found these weird tapes. I don't feel like ASGORE's watched them... I don't think he should.'  

Frisk looked at the tapes and the TV in the room. She knew exactly what these were. Chara and Asriel told her about some tapes they made...Some included their plan...The tragic tale of the Underground...She sighed and sat down as she slid in the first VHS. Who uses those anymore...? But Frisk didn't mind. The screen was blank. But the tapes were rolling, because she could hear voices. She started with the first....and rolled them in one by one:

'Psssst. Gorey, wake up.' Toriel's voice..? PFFTTT Gorey..?! 

'Mmm? What is it, dear? ... err, and why do you have that video camera? ' Asgore..? OH MY GOD!! PFTTTTT!!

'Shush! I want to get your reaction. Gorey, dearest. What is my favorite vegetable?' 

'Hmmm... Carrots, right?'

 'No no no! My FAVORITE vegetable is... Eda-MOM-e. ... get it???' edam...? OH MY GOD MOM!!

'... Go back to bed, dear.'  hah!! 

 'No no!! Not yet! Hee hee hee. Now, if I were a dog, what breed of dog would I be?' 

'Hmmm... I don't know, honey. What kind of dog would you be? '

'I would be... A MOMERANIAN.' 

' Hohoho! You sure are excited to have this child. You know, if you keep making jokes like this... One day, you could be... ... a famous MOMedian.'

'... Well, I am going to bed.' 

'Hey! Come on, Tori! That one was funny! '

'Hahaha, I know. I am just teasing you. Goodnight, dear.' 

' Goodnight, honey.'

'... Oh dear, perhaps it is too dark in here for the video to come out...'

2:Okay, Chara, are you ready? Do your creepy face! AHHHHH!! Hee hee hee! Oh! Wait! I had the lens cap on... What!? You're not gonna do it again...? Come on, quit tricking me! Haha!

3:Howdy, Chara! Smile for the camera! Ha, this time I got YOU! I left the cap on... ON PURPOSE! Now you're smiling for noooo reason! Hee hee hee! What? Oh, yeah, I remember. When we tried to make butterscotch pie for Dad, right? The recipe asked for cups of butter. But we accidentally put in buttercups instead. Yeah! Those flowers got him really sick. I felt so bad. We made Mom really upset. I should have laughed it off, like you did... Um, anyway, where are you going with this? Huh? Turn off the camera...? OK.

4: I... I don't like this idea, Chara. Wh.. what? N-no, I'm not... ... big kids don't cry. Yeah, you're right. No! I'd never doubt you, Chara... Never! Y... yeah! We'll be strong! We'll free everyone. I'll go get the flowers.

5: 'Chara... Can you hear me?' 

'We want you to wake up... Chara! You have to stay determined! You can't give up... You are the future of humans and monsters...' 

'... Psst... Chara... Please... wake up... I don't like this plan anymore. I... I... ... no, I said... I said I'd never doubt you. Six, right? We just have to get six... And we'll do it together, right?'

Poor things...no one had a clue what was actually going on... That's when Frisk saw the sixth VHS. That wasn't right...weren't there only five..? She slid it in and suddenly the two shelves filled with anime turned around. Were those...freezers..? Frisk opened them up and fog started coming out. She coughed at the thickness. As it started fading Frisk's eyes widened. A container with...a-....A SOUL!! Frisk took the container and stored it in her inventory. A soul...She knew what she would do with it...But first she needed to get out. Frisk exited the room with the giant TV and tried crossing carefully past the skull. She wanted to step over the save point...until it grew a face. It grew in size until it looked like a melted person. They smelled like sweet lemons and reminded Frisk of a jelly. It kind of looked like the human she sang with back in Waterfalls. She started humming a familiar tune. The things whole body shuddered at the sound, like memories were coming back to them. Suddenly a voice with dozens of echoes said. 'Welcome to my special hell.' This was a hell alright...Poor thing must have been stuck in here for ages. She continued humming. They seemed reluctant to fight her. 

'stay here with me...' She winced at the pain in the monsters voice. She hugged them and the melted human started shaking. At first she thought she was doing something wrong...until she felt sticky tears dripping down. She spared the human that slowly faded like a ghost...like a memory you couldn't quite place...from long long ago. She cotinued her quest: getting out of that hell.She went past the weird skull like machine and looked at the sign next to it. 

'DT EXTRACTOR MACHINE
STATUS: INACTIVE'

DT..? Like..Determination? Alphys never used that acronym before...yet she knew who did. She almost spat again in disgust. She wants to have a chat with that person....no matter...she still had one key to find!! She continued her journey towards the left. More freezers. Great!! And another entry.

'ENTRY NUMBER 19

the families keep calling me to ask when everyone is coming home. what am i supposed to say? i don't even answer the phone anymore.'

Oh Alphys...she went through all of that alone...and no one was there to help her. That was cruel. She looked around. There were fans on the ceiling, still running and some refrigerators. All were empty with only a few samples, apart from the last one, which was shaking off the ground!! She first read the other two entries in the room.

'ENTRY NUMBER 20

ASGORE left me five messages today. four about everyone being angry one about this cute teacup he found that looks like me. thanks asgore.'

No wonder there were all those piles of unopened mail in her house...the poor thing was afarid to even check what she received...the families reacted just like anyone would...and Frisk couldn't stop the guilt when she realized she would have reacted the same as them...

'ENTRY NUMBER 21

i spend all my time at the garbage dump now ..i t's my element'

She finally got to the last refrigerator...only it was another melted human. The goop started dripping on the refrigerator and suddenly she was in an encounter. It was cold...oh so cold....she could see her breath forming fog and raising up. The Amalgamte looked like it was losing itself...it was...oh my god...

"s....no..wy..?" Frisk tilted her head and found a resemblance to one of the humans she met back in Snowdin. They liked jokes if she remembered correctly.

She told them a joke. A bad pun about snow.

'haha...i...remem...ber...' Their attacks were...sad...they didn't even try.... they missed her entirely and the attack was like 10 inches away from her. Some didn't even land in the box...She told another bad pun. They smiled...a true smile. 

'hahah! thank....you...' Frisk nodded and spared the satisfied amalgam. Where the refrigerator used to lie...now lied a blue key. Exactly the last key she needed. She took it. She entered the room behind the refrigerators and slid the green key in. Now all she needed to do was get the blue key across where it needed to be. She ran all the way to the hallway filled with flowers. She entered the room in the back and slid the blue key in. Something seemed to rumble at that. It was time to get out of this place. She entered what seemed like and elevator..but it also had a corridor to the side of the elevator. It didn't work anyways. As she stepped in the corridor she found more entries. She didn't expect there to be more..but the screens were turned off...She entered the last room. A gigantic room filled with pipes and wires. There was a huge generator. She approached it and turned the generator on. She heard the all familiar buzzing of a starting generator. As she turned around and was ready to leave she saw that she was surrounded by 4 amalgamates. They were blocking her way out... she backed away into the generator and realized that she was cornered. 

She started growling. The amalgamates stopped. It was...a primitive method of dealing with things yes, but it was actually commonly used between monsters. They were after all...kind of like animals.

They were slowly inching closer. They were only a few inches away from her face when she heard from behind the monsters a voice. 

"Hey!! Stop!! I got you guys some food, ok?!?" Alphys said as she rushed and the melted humans turned around and left, happy to finally get something to eat. Frisk sighed in relief at the sight of the scientist. The human with blonde hair came closer. 

"Sorry about that...They get kind of sassy when they don't get fed on time." The two giggled. That was kind of funny. 

"I think they smelled some food you had on you and...The power went out and I've been trying to turn it back on! But it seems like you were one step ahead of me.." She talked like she wasn't fully acustomed to the place...maybe she wasn't. That solidified her theory that someone else built this place. 

"This was probably just a big inconvenience for you...B-but i appreciate that you came here to back me up! As i said i was afraid i might...Not come back...But that's not because of these guys or anything!!" Alphys...don't you dare do what she knows you wanted to do...You dummy. Frisk came closed and hugged the human. The scientist blushed and pushed up her glasses. She hugged her back. 

"th-thank you...Frisk....oh..i suppose i owe you an explination..." Alphys said as she wiped her eyes and glasses. Frisk shook her head. 

"N-no..? Oh...You read my entries...oh..OH! THAT'S GOOD YES!!" Frisk smiled at the human.

"..now at least i know..it will be a lot easier to stand...thank you..Come on guys...it's time for everyone to go home..." said the blonde girl, as she took the amalgamtes who came rushing to her, back in the common room, or the room with the beds. Frisk then exited a bit after her. That's when she found the same entries that were turned off before...were now turned on. proably because of the power generator. 

'ENTRY NUMBER 8

I've chosen a candidate. I haven't told ASGORE yet, because I want to surprise him with it... In the center of his garden, there's something special. The first golden flower, that grew before all the others. The flower from the outside world. It appeared just before the queen left. I wonder... What happens when something without a SOUL gains the will to live.' 

'ENTRY NUMBER 18

the flower's gone'

Now that would totally scare the shit out of someone if it happened to them. As she stepped back into the elevator her phone started ringing. It's the same voice she heard back in the ruins. It sounded familiar. Frisk almost wanted to punch herself for it. 

'Y o u      h a v e     d o n e    a    g r e a t    j o b .   T h a n k s     t o     y o u ,   e v e r y t h i n g ' s    f a l l i n g    i n t o    p l a c e. S e e   y o u   s o o n ,   F r i s k'  But Frisk didn't get to ask more questions. The doors closed and she started ascending. But she ascended too high...or so she thought..? She woke up and she was next to an elevator back in the castle...wasn't she supposed to be back at the lab..? She looked at the elevator only to find it covered in vines. what...? But she just used it??? She reached the elevator she took last time down to the Lab and made her way to the lab. When she entered the front door she found Sans waiting for her.

"heya there sweetheart. flower you today?" He said as he chuckled and took a flower out of her hair. Frisk didn't even know it was there. She motioned with her hand chaotically and Sans chuckled. 

"know the feeling...so what's your plan now..?" Sans asked. Frisk was about to grow in size when her phone started vibrating. Guess the barrier will have to wait. Right now Undyne was spamming her to come to Snowdin. Sans looked over her shoulder at her phone and snorted. 

"alright...let's take the boat. come'ere." Frisk smiled as she let herself be picked up by the human with snowy hair with a blue-ish hue. That's when her phone started ringing. She answeared. 

"Hey..!uh...This is Undyne!" Undyne..? Why was she calling her??

"(SHUT UP PAPYRUS!! THIS WAS YOUR IDEA!!)" Frisk giggled. The two were always fighting with each other. 

"HUMAN! you have to deliver something for me!! Uh...Please..?" Frisk laughed and agreed. 

"I'm in Snowdin in front of Papyrus's. SEE YA PUNK!!" She ended the call and turned towards her friend. Sans sighed. 

"guess we heard the captain. we really are going back after all...ohhh boy.." Frisk patted his head and he chuckled. 

"alright, got'cha kitten. let's see where this is going, shall we??"
