ExperimentTale

Frisk was, to say the least, frightened! She HATED not only labs, but the message she was supposed to deliver in that lab too. She was scared, her knees shaking, and her arms trembling with every step on the warm path of stone. Sans, Flowey and Chara were all by her side. The skeleton reunited with the group after they left Undyne's house. She had to be honest...this lab was scarier than what she saw the first time. It was taunting her, looming over her. Bad memories resurfaced and swallowed her mind like waves who drown the unlucky swimmers in the sea...But the sea was tainted with sadness, anger, and fear.

*I don't want to do this anymore..*sniff sniff**

*Shhh Frisky...we will get out of here, i promise*

L I A R 

*You promise..? You always say that...*

*yes..* N O

*I wanna go somewhere nice..with flowers and no ...THIS...*

*You will..trust me* Y O U   W O N T 

*Really 8&^%$#...you think so?"

*We both will..together*

B U T   Y O U  G O T   L O S T   O N   T H E   W A Y   W H I L E    I   L O S T   H  O P E . . . A N D   Y O U   W O N T   C O M E  B A C K , W I L L  Y O U  B$%%$##R$%$^&%O---^%&%$%$#R...?

"Woah there bucko! You ok? You bone-tired?" In her daze she didn't realize they already got to the lab and she walked head first into the skeleton in front of her. 

"O-oh uhh..sorry just got distracted, that's all" She saw the worried looks Chara and Flowey gave each other. Those two started to read her more easily now that they spent so much time together.

"You sure you're ok weirdo? You seem..less energic..than usual.." Awww just say you care you little shy bean! Hihi!

"I-im fine..Let's go!" And with a forced smile on her face they entered the lab to find a little yellow lizard monster going around her blueprints. She was working at a table that had a lot of monitors on top. All of them were on and she and and her friends were on the screen from different angles.. The room in which they stepped in seemed to be also a living room, having a couch and a TV. Manga, action figurines and posters were scattered around.

"O-oh dear! Y-You are here earlier than i thought! You were s-supposed to stall for m-more time i- oh n-no i c-cant find t-the bluepr---"

Huh..? she thought she would have been late at how much she tried to avoid this conversation.

"W-well umm hi! I-Im A-Alphys! I-im the royal sienc---" As the monster looked at Frisk they stopped in their tracks and took a better look. 

"O-oh...i didn't realize when i saw you from those screens that you w-were a.....y-you know..." So two people so far know or have a vague idea was an unwanted is...good.

"alphys can we talk..?"

"O-oh! S-sure human what do y-you need to talk about?"

"About him" And she did a few hand gestures that probably meant nothing to Chara and Flowey. But from the empty-socket look Sans was casting and the way Alphys dropped her mug, she knew they were both aware.

"Umm bucko...what do you mean?"

"Doctor Gaster is officially the royal scientist on the surface. he wanted me to tell you he is perfectly fine apart from a lot of memories of him being deleted and from a few side effects that the void had on him. He also wants me to tell Alphys that when you monsters will get to the surface he wants to meet you...and he won't come back as the royal scientist for monsters. The job will always be yours now. He also will leave the job as a judge to his eldest son..."

"me..." They both looked at each other confused, happy the man was alive and concerned.

"I-im sorry i can't tell you more until you get on the surface..I wish i could but i umm--" Damn she can't find her words. They must be broken to find out the man is alive after all these years people have slowly forgotten about him!" 

"D-do you know h-him..?"

"...he's an acquaintance of mine..if you can call him that"

"C-can you uderstand his w-writing..wing dings? You s-seem to know how to sign l-language" All four in the room were paying attention to her and it was uncomftarble..

"Yes, i do"

the two monsters who seemed to be close to Gaster looked at each other. what are they thinking...? those looks were hard to read even for her..

"May you help us with somethig kiddo..?"

"sure.." What is she getting into..?

And so they all went to an elevator hidden behind piles of manga and anime dvd's. Where were they going..? The elevator was going down, down, down, Did it just take a right? They were going in a straight line until the doors opened to a dusty place. The lights were dim and the rotten smell was everywhere. That's when Flowey looked around better and only now the lizard monster seems to have acknowledged him.

"P-prince a-as--"

"Flowey...my name is flowey now..."

"I-im s-sorry..F-Flowey"

And they went on. They stopped to let Frisk translate a writting on a screen on the wall, to translate a few blueprints and a few letters and notes. That's when she saw the amalgamets...T-they looked horrible...How did this happen...They injected...Oh god what have they done down here....Of course they did..It was Gaster after all..And she knew better than anyone what he was capable of..even after being in the void.

"I-it's tragic. This is the r-reason why w-we stopped doing this...F-Flowey i-im sorry i should have n-never..But i do have a way of fixing it.."

Wait a way to fix Flowey?!

"before Gaster h-has left..he made t-two artificial s-souls..B-but they both n-need s-some more DT t-to work p-properly" Jesus things are moving at an alarming speed right no-- Did she just say 'artificial souls'?

"two..?"Chara and Flowey were both now looking up at each other. Frisk was tginking the same: A way to save them..The skeleton however seemed to be trapped in memory lane...

"Y-yes a-a monster one a-and a human s-soul.."

"Take my DT" The scientist and Sans both looked at her.

"A-are you s-sure...I-it's not s-safe.."

Frisk smiled at the two monsters behind her then at the two in front of her "Yes". Alphys and Sans both looked at each other than they took Frisk to show her two almost hollow souls: One upside-down and one the human way up; Then the DT extractor. That's when her knees started buckling the most..

*Gaster..a-are you sure about this..?I'm scared..*

*Yes, #15 i am certain that we need some more DT to test your capacity. You are bearly developed porperly for that power you posses...It needs testing*

*B-but it always hurts..really bad...*

*don't worry i am right here with you ok? Trust me..*

T R U S T    DONT    M E       Y O U  W O N T  WILL  S U F F E R   

Jeez...This is going to be harder than she thought...While the lizard monster was talking to Flowey explaining her plang and as he told her in return about Chara, Frisk moved twords the skeleton in the corner who seemed to look sadly at some papers from a desk.

"Penny for your thoughts, lazybones..?"

"I'll take a dime..or make that a few G's"

"Pfftt...aren't you an expensive man...are you ok..?"

"Does he miss me and Paps..?Gaster i mean"

"...from what i know...he misses you a lot" Oh he did miss them so badly..But that man doesn't deserve them...or at least didn't before..now..he is a better man...even if the nightmares will persist...

"heh..but why did he never tell us anything..w-why didn't he tell us he was up there..h-he let us all forget him...with the core's help making it worse..."

"The messages that he wanted to send never got through..They were stopped..but he did write in wingdings so no one was able to read what he wrote"

"Got through what..?"

"Guards, the water to get in the Dump, the sewers, the barrier, the ruins"

"H-he tried to talk to us...all this time...heh" And for the first time since she first punned with him..the stressed skeleton relaxed and smilled for real. He pulled the human in a hug..You poor thing...

"Glad someone is happy.." And as she was about to leave after they broke the hug they heard:

"W-wait...i uhh..i never got a chance to thank you..for everything.."

Aww he truly was sweet..wasn't he..?

"It was ice of you to say that"

"Snow down buddy, you're walking on thin ice here"

"what can i say..? one day i might steal your heart, so throw me a bone here"

"You're a charmer aren't'cha?"

"i learned from the best"

"G-guys l-let's get back to t-the upper l-level and w-we can do this a-after i f-finish fixing the Extractor" That was their que to leave then.

"You know what? How about i take all of ya for a ride..?" He took her arm, he put Flowey on his shoulder and took Alphys by her hand and they all teleported from that sad place that was called "True lab"

------------------

And so after he teleported all of them out, and Chara flew through the walls to get back to Alphys main room, the little group was about to leave after the human made a new friend and gave hope to another person, when he heard the WORST voice he could hear..

"OHHH HELLOOOO DARLINGSSSS" Anyone but THAT tin can..

"Oh no..not that peacock.."

"OH BUT YESSS DARLING IT IS I~"

"who's this..?"

"OH YOU MUST BE OUR HUMAN STARRR~ THE HUMAN THAT FELL AND IS THE SEVENTH SOUL! OH HOW WILL THEY SUCCEED IN THEIR TRIAL OF LIFE AND DEATH?!SUCH DRAMA! SUCH ACTION! SUCH PASSIONNN~"

"o-oh j-jeez m-mettanton s-stop.."

"IF IT ISN'T OUR DEAR CREATOR ALPHYSSS~ GIVE HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE EVERYONEE~" And his sound effects came from nowhere: Applauses

"Well it is nice to meet the star of the Underground"

"OH MYY~ AREN'T YOU MANNERED BUT BELIEVE ME DARLING YOU ARE MY SPECIAL GUEST IN MY COOKING SHOW!"

"eh..?"

"YESSS NOW ALL I NEED FOR OUR DISH IS ONE LAST INGREDIENT: A HUMAN SOUL"

"Umm..but im vegan..?" Oh that was a huge lie they ate a burg at Grillbys...Smart kiddo..

"OH MY~ WELL THEN WE SHALL GET THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE SOUL! COULD YOU BE A DARLING AND GRAB THAT~?"

Mettatons screen lit up with an arrow pointing at the can on one of the cabinets. The human didn't make a move they looked like they were analyzing the situation. that's when they leaped with a hand up in the air. Right as they did multiple counters started erupting and the can was going higher and higher. But they didn't leap with their hand up for nothing. They grabbed on one of the top counters and they were going up with the can.

"W-WAIT THAT WASN'T IN THE SCRIPT"

"Well tin can guess you need to improvise dont'cha?"

"OH THIS IS A CHALLENGE I SEE~" and the robot took off after the human. He couldn't help the laugh that escaped him when he saw that the human was already half way down that mountain of counters with the can for the "vegan sould replacement". He saw the smug smirk on Flowey's face and the small mocking smile on Chara's face. jeez he would have been totally afraid to say in a radius of 10 feet from these murderes yet here he was now, helping them come back to life. this kid really turned their worlds upside-down didn't they..? he just got news his dad was alive!

"W-WELL THEN I SEE THE HUMAN IS FASTER THAN THEY LOOK BUT DEAR FANS THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER TI--" Oh god.. Did the human accidentally hit the switch on the robot's back?! Smoke started pouring everywhere as everyone coughed.

"O-oh n-no t-that's t-the--"

"OH YESSSS~ I WAS SAVING THAT BUTTON UP FOR MY PERFORMANCE IN A "BOSS BATTLE" BUT I SEE I HAVE REVEALED MY SCECRET TRANSFORMATION" what even is happening?!

"alph..what have you done.."

"OH MY GOD THEY LOOK HUMAN!" Ok human,chill! you are human after all?!?

"OH YESSSS~ WELL SINCE YOU DID THIS I SHALL PROVIDE YOU THAT BATTLE FIRST THING RIGHT NO--"

And the kid vanished again. They were now in the back of the robot looking dirrectly at their power source. Scary..

"W-WOAH THERE DARLING, LET'S C-CALM DOWN~ WE CAN TALK THIS OUT~" How are we getting from a cooking show to this..?

The kid pretended to think their options before they closed the heart shaped door leading into the heart shaped compartiment on the chest of the robot. Jeez this tin can was now pissing him off even more.

"THERE WE GO DARLING~"

"Let's make a deal mettaton...You will always keep inspiring people like you already do, after all the monsters need a star as great as you; and you won't attack us..Deal..?"

"I-INSPIRING? BUT BROADWAY AND HOLLYWOOD ARE ALL WAITING FOR ME DARLING"

"But the monsters are waiting for you too..You are the only star they have..Up there..Thousands aspire to get bearly where you are in the Underground. remain their star mettaton...Guide them like you did before" Ok kid you seriously striking this robot's ego. But all of them were surprised at how good the human was with their words.

"Y-YOU THINK I INSPIRE PEOPLE..?" Where is this even coming from?! Is this some sappy drama he doesn't know about? Hidden camera show?

"And i think one of them is a friend of mine...Napstablook..?" Huh? That shy ghost? Oh wait that was the tin can's cousin, wasn't he?

"B-Blooky said that about m-me?" The robot is almost crying. Jeez kid you really hit a wire in that metallic heart of his didn't'cha?

"DARLING I HAVE DECIDED THAT I SHALL SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY~! A FRIEND'S OF ALPHYS IS ALWAYS A FRIEND OF MINE AFTER ALL~ PLUS BEACUSE OF YOU THE STAR OF THE UNDERGROUND WILL SHINE TWICE AS BRIGHT! I WILL ALSO GO TALK TO MY DEAR COUSIN BLOOKY~"

"That means a lot to me. thank you, Mettaton" And so the robot striked a dramatic pose and left waving their right leg in the air. This human is seriously doing the impossible here..not to mention the weirdness of some of these encounters.

"W-wow y-you have a w-way with w-words...and s-striking e-egos....A-Anyways a-after you v-visit A-asgore come s-see me..T-the extractor s-should be f-fixed by t-then thanks t-to your t-translations"

And the group was off again to adventure in Hotlands, solving puzzels and sometimes laughing at Alphys status on Monstergram. Alph was seriously a total dork.They even upgraded the human's phone! And so, they were getting closer to the castle in this weird timeline where the human that fell is good (compared to the brats that also fell down) and don't mess with time like the others, Sans was frenemies with his two biggest enemies (another thing he seriously believed was impossible), the human befriended half the Underground, or maybe more, and his dad...his dadster was alive...heh. guess he will show the human his machine before they get to the castle when he will tell Paps the good news about their dad. He could finally tell someone about the machine. For the first time in a long time, Sans was content with the way things were going so far. Of course there is more good up ahead but after you fly that close to the sun, you are bound to fall...
