Jael Peñaloza - UNDERVERSE 0.7 (Part 1)

[RADIO]
* The two suspects responsible for the disaster have been located near the Telecommunications tower.

* The Ambassador has suggested not to retaliate despite the fact that human and monster lives are in danger.

* The Human Army has chosen to ignore the warnings. A special unit has been dispatched to restrain the suspects.

* Do not approach or engage with any suspicious creatures coming from the contaminated areas.

* Pleasе retreat to a safe location. Sеarch and Rescue deployment is on the way.

[ALPHYS]
* Oh, Undyne...

[ASGORE]
* Hopefully everyone will return safely.

[PAPYRUS]
If Undyne went to face the bad guys, I am not going to sit on my hands!
I want to help find missing people!

[TORIEL]
* Power outages have compromised the signal all over the city.
* If something happened to you, it would be hard for us to find out.

[PAPYRUS]
No need to worry! That is what the great Papyrus is prepared for!
And I know Asgore is, too!
[ASGORE]
* Do you want me to go with you?

[PAPYRUS]
People need strong guys like us right now!

[ASGORE]
* Oh, of course!

[TORIEL]
* Alphys and some volunteers will help me out here.
* Are you going to help us, Frisk?

[ASGORE]
* You are very strong and determined!
* Tori and the others are counting on you!
* I mean... Good luck, Toriel.
* I will wait in the car.
---
[UNDYNE]
* Humans are stronger, yet they're being defeated too...
* What are we up against?

[HUMAN]
* Stay away...!
* Those things are not from this world...
* Everything happened so fast...
[UNDYNE]
* That’s why the Ambassador said not to fight them, nobody knows if-

[HUMAN]
* THE BEASTS, AGAIN!
* BACK OFF!
* WH- WHAT THE-

[XMUFFET]
* HOW RUDE!
* THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO TREAT SOMEONE ELSE'S PETS!
* You imbeciles...
* They just wanted to greet you!
* I’ll let it pass for this time.
* Please, take a seat and get ready for this world premiere extravaganza!
* Introducing... THE MIGHTY GENERAL METTATON!

[XMETTATON]
* THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
* YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW OVERLOADED I AM ON THIS LOVELY EVENING, LITERALLY!
* OH, DEAR! WHY AM I SEEING LONG FACES?

[UNDYNE]
* WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE REAL METTATON!?

[XMETTATON]
* THE REAL ONE? BUT DARLING, THAT'S ME!
HE IS TRAPPED IN ME...
* THE AUTHENTIC, GLAMOROUS, MODERN METTATON! I'M BETTER THAN EVER!
PLEASE...I WANT TO THROW UP...
[XGASTER, speaking through XMETTATON]
* THE REAL QUESTION IS
* ARE YOU THE REAL UNDYNE?

(XMettaton fires a blast at Undyne, who kicks a tank to intercepts it. Then she traps XMettaton in spears.)

[UNDYNE]
* It's okay, man. I'll take it from here.

[HUMAN]
* R-roger!

[XMUFFET]
* I've had enough.

[XMETTATON]
* GIVE ME A MOMENT, DEAR.
* THAT SENSE OF JUSTICE IS LEGENDARY.
* I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LAST CHANCE BEFORE HE DECIDES YOUR FATE.
* LET GO OF THAT OLD BODY, AND BECOME PART OF A PERFECT ONE!
* YOUR SOUL WILL GIVE US MORE POWER FOR THIS MISSION.

(XUndyne punches Undyne backwards into the forest)

[XMETTATON]
* SEE WHAT MY VOLUNTEERS CAN DO FOR THIS WORLD.

(XMuffet draws in the souls that are trapped in her webs for XMettaton to consume. With the increase of power, he breaks free from Undyne's spears and summons his saber. When he turns it on, the whole world turns black and purple.)
---
[XALPHYS]
* All data of this universe components is ready for operation.

[XCHARA]
STOP! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?

[XGASTER]
Time is almost over, player.
I told you I was going to persuade you
Tell them the truth is you really care about this world.
Let everyone know how you lied to them in the face.
---
[ASGORE]
* What is all this?
---
[SANS]
* looks like everybody has their eyes on you, literally.

[FRISK]
* Sans...?

[SANS]
* told ya, kid, he got us. there’s nothing we can do.
---
[TORIEL]
* What truth is that strange voice talking about?

[Corrupted HARPER and BURGERPANTS]
* YOU’VE MADE ALL UNIVERSES AND TIMELINES FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP FOR AGES.
* HOPES AND DREAMS ENTRUSTED TO A FALSE SAVIOUR.
---
[XGASTER]
Lift the blindfold from their eyes.
---
* Monsters and Humans have recovered every single memory from the past.
* Everybody knows what you did.
* Everybody knows what you were.
---
(XUndyne throws a spear at Undyne, who is stunned by the memories. Undyne catches it.)
[UNDYNE]
* I WON'T SURRENDER UNTIL I TALK TO THAT TRAITOR PUNK!
---
* You don’t know if they believe you anymore. Something inside you is aching.
* It's making you see thing that are not there.
* Frisk!

[TORIEL]
* WAIT!!
---
[XCHARA]
* DAMN YOU!!! YOU'RE GOING TOO FAR!

[XGASTER]
Hypocrite. That's what you did when you tried to kill me.
Wasn’t this the scenario you wanted during you quest in the Multiverse?
Don't tell me you don't like the hard work your partners are doing on our behalf.

[XCHARA]
* I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE TO GET RID OF THEM TO STOP YOU!
---
(Frisk is running, but is stopped by XPapyrus.)
---
[XCHARA]
* I can't run... I feel so heavy...!
---
(Papyrus and Asgore pull up in front of Frisk.)
[ASGORE]
* Hurry! Get in the car!

[FRISK]
* Asgore! Papyrus...!
* I...

[PAPYRUS]
Let's talk about that later. We've got to get out of here.

[XPAPYRUS]
They're not going with you. Hand over the child.

[PAPYRUS]
OVER MY MILLIONTH BEHEADED BODY!!!
---
[XCHARA]
* What's happening to me...!?

[XASRIEL]
* You're embarrassing Mom and Dad.

(XAsriel grabs XChara's soul with an Omega Flowey-like spiked hand.)

[XGASTER]
A stronger vessel might feel heavier when a fragile soul like yours has no control over it. Don't waste the protection I had the decency to give you. It's not like you would settle for an Artificial Soul like our dear Frisk.

You need pure Determination if you really want to defy me, after all.

(XGaster, XAsgore, XToriel, XFrisk, and XAlphys begin to walk away. XAsriel is still looking at XChara lying on the ground.)

[XAsriel]
* Stop playing the fool and get back on your feet.
* What do you think you can do for this world if you can't even protect yourself...?
---
(Flashback)

[XGASTER]
I want to ask you something, "Ink". Do you have a soul, too?

[INK]
Well, people's creations are what makes me... ME!
Part of their souls are reflected in there.
When I fill my vials with those reflections and drink them...
...I'm able to feel, like any other being with a SOUL!

[XGASTER]
...Are you sure you will never run out of those someday?

[INK]
Nah, don't worry about that.

(In the background, many messages from discouraged creators vibrate. 'They made fun of me.' 'This is boring' 'I pushed myself for nothing...' and more.)

[INK]
Your extraordinary power is all that matters. You have the will to bring it all to reality!

[XGASTER]
We do not even have a "name" like you...

[INK]
Heh, I can help you with some ideas! C'mon, what's the matter?

[XGASTER]
(Holding his soul)
...This must be destroyed.
I am really sorry, my children.

(end of flashback)
---
[INK]
(holding a small wrapped box)
We've come so far that none of this seems real...
...or feels real.
Why am I holding this?
RIGHT! FRESH! I FORGOT IT AGAIN!!
Where did he go...?
Maybe if I say a bad word he'll show up!

(Ink takes a breath to shout a bad word, but then blue strings snap around his wrist and yank him out of the frame, leaving Broomie, his giant paintbrush behind.)
---
(sound of Gaster Blasters powering up)

[INK]
Oh, no...

[ERROR]
YOU ASSHOLE!!!

[INK]
Erasing the Multiverse didn't do it for you??

[ERROR]
SHUT UP!!!

(He uses the strings to smash Ink into the ground repeatedly.)

[ERROR]
IT'S POINTLESS IF NOBODY'S PAYING ATTENTION!!
YOU STOLE THE SPOTLIGHT!
NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT ME!!
YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!
JUST DIE!!!

(Multicolored furbies appear behind Error and Cross uses blue soul magic. Fresh hits Error with his baseball bat into the furbies, which explode)

[CROSS]
* Those things were bombs!?

[INK]
Ah! there he is!

(He jumps between Cross and Fresh, tossing the box to Fresh, who shakes it quizzically.)

[INK]
Next time I'll make payments beforehand.
Psst! Who's this hobo?

[CROSS]
*...Idiot.

[INK]
What kind of name is that?

[FRESH]
And I'm outtie 9000.
Good luck yo!

(Cross grabs Ink and yanks him out of the way of a multitude of flying red bones.)

[ERROR]
I REMEMBER YOU.
WHAT A GOOD CHANCE TO KILL THE TWO THAT SCREWED ME OVER!

[CROSS]
* Tch!

(He throws one of his knives, cutting some of the strings that Error is holding himself up with.)

[ERROR]
YOU SON OF A-

(Error pulls more blue string from his eyes and wraps it around Cross's soul, yanking Cross towards him.)

[ERROR]
DEJA-VU.

(Error controls the soul and makes Cross punch himself in the face repeatedly.)

[ERROR]
STOP HITTING YOURSELF!
HAHAHAHAHA!!

(Ink creates small bones out of ink, jumps up, and flings them at Error, cutting the strings around Cross's soul. Cross punches Error in the stomach, knocking one of his shoes off. Error disappears through a glitchy portal and suddenly Cross's arms and legs are tied up with blue string again. Gaster Blasters are preparing to fire. Ink grabs the knife that Cross had thrown at Error earlier and uses it to slice through the strings holding Cross. He throws Cross and the knife into a glitchy portal to another AU. Ink shoves a Gaster Blaster that is about to fire downwards so it blows up Error instead of Cross.)
---
[INK]
How embarrassing! I didn't know that was Cross!
He almost got himself killed. What the heck was he doing there...?
(So empty...)
(My broom...)
(The vials...)
(I need to find them QUICK and get outta here.)

(He turns around and bumps into Fresh.)

[INK]
Oh, it's you.

[FRESH]
I have a complaint!

[INK]
Can't help you right now. I gotta find something.

[FRESH]
No offense brah... but what da heckity heck is dis thing, yo?

[INK]
Oh, it's an unlimited vial!
Works like mine, but it refills itself, anytime you want!

[FRESH]
Ya told me it was da funniest thing in da whole multiverse...
I can't see da fun in dis. WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU ALL UP N OFFERIN' ME?

[INK]
It's not what you're thinking!

[FRESH]
Y'know dese things are totes not my style, brah. It might work for ya, but it's a no-go for me.
I don't need those ta lie.

[INK]
IT'S NOT LYING!!
Finding hosts like a miserable PARASITE is the big deal here.

[FRESH]
I'm 'fresh' out of ideas on what ya could be takin' bout mah broski!

[INK]
AHA! AND YOU ACCUSE ME OF LYING!?

[FRESH]
We gotta do what we've gotta do ta survive dis madness.

(Fresh shoves the vial in Ink's mouth, forcing him to drink the contents.)

[FRESH]
Ya love ta play ya know, and ya don't care, but...for how long?

(The empty vial falls on the the ground, then refills.)

[INK]
COUGH COUGH WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?
(Suddenly the screen turns dark purple and black.)
---
[INK]
What is this sensation... I've never felt this before...
It's paralyzing...
Is it what people call... pain?
Is it what all of his creations are made of...?
Why did he keep all this from me?
W-what!?
What are you doing to yourself...!

[FRESH]
Brah, look at ya! And ya wanted me to try dat thing!?
I see...
You... are NOTHIN' without dese things.
But me? I can be ANYBODY I wanted ta be... Anyone.
It's about time someone showed ya whose really da weakest!

(Fresh hops onto his skateboard and zooms away.)

[INK]
WHAT!? GET BACK HERE!

[FRESH]
I bet ya'd hate to have nothing' left.

(Fresh realizes that Ink is behind him, chasing him on top of a giant Gaster Blaster made of ink.)

[FRESH]
Ya pick now ta be all mad? NOW?

(He jumps off the skateboard right before the Gaster Blaster fires, and stands upside down on the wave of ink.)

[FRESH]
If ya keep throwin' stuff back at me bro, you're gonna dry out, mah broski!
Ya wouldn't want dat now, would ya?

(He holds Ink's green and yellow vials, then throws them to Ink.)

[FRESH]
What does green even mean?
Yellow? C'mon! Ya can do better dan dat!
You're supposed ta be havin' a great time with dis "funniest thing in the multiverse"!

(Ink catches the two vials, uncorks them, and drinks them.)

[FRESH]
Isn't it da magic cure all? Or was DAT a lie too?

(Ink grabs the sash from Fresh, ripping it in two. He drinks the vials that were on the sash.)

[FRESH]
Ya know, I think I DO all up n' get ya, Inky.
Dat constant fear of being replaced someday... of bein' just some hole to fill.
...Dat we're 'kindred spirits'. Is that what dey call dat??

(Fresh holds a blue vial, the last one that Ink hasn't gotten back. He throws it to Ink.)

[FRESH]
But you'd be wrong, because we're very different.
I'm smarter dan you.
Ya can't even begin ta think outside your precious 'here in da now' moments.

(Ink catches the vial.)

[FRESH]
Dey mean too much to ya do dey? Dat's YOUR weakness, Inky brah.
---
(The screen turns black and white, the only spot of color is the blue vial that Ink is holding. All the open empty vials that are floating around Ink are suddenly closed.)

[FRESH]
If there's somethin' dat gives life to dat soulless body of yours...
...Den dats all dat I need.

(The vials turn a bright purple with a mouth ringed with teeth and a red and yellow pupil inside the mouth, making it look like both a mouth and eye. This is the Fresh parasite.)

[INK]
Aw, COME ON!

[FRESH]
SHH, SHHH...
IT'S ALL COOL BRAH. DIS INTERVENTION WILL MAKE THINGS A LIL MORE ENTERTAININ.

(Four writhing purple tentacles slide out from behind Fresh's sunglasses.)

[FRESH]
DATS WHAT YA WANT, RIGHT?

(Fresh's glasses drop a little and there is a close up view of the parasite inside his eye. It gets ready to move to another host. The screen fills with multicolor smoke to prevent viewers from a horrific transformation.)

[FRESH]
YOUR PRECIOUS ENTERTAINMENT.
---
(As the rainbow smoke clears, Error is unamused.)

[FRESHINK]
DUDE, DESE DAYS HAVE BEEN KINDA ON DA WACKO SIDE FOR EVERYONE, HUH?
I SMELL UNRAD VIBES JUST ALL OVER DA DANG PLACE.

[ERROR]
YOU'RE DEAD, INK!!

[FRESHINK]
I THINK YA TALKIN' TO DA WRONG BROSKI.

(Error fires Gaster Blasters at FreshInk, but misses. FreshInk lands with a new weapon: a marker sword.)

OUR GLITCHY PAL NEEDS A CHILL PILL.
LET'S LEARN HOW TA HANDLE DIS HERE SITUATION.
SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE GET ANGRY ALL DEY GET IS A WELL-DESERVED TIME OUT.

(FreshInk whacks Error into a piece of land with the marker sword, which breaks into markers.)

[FRESHINK]
SO- TELL YA RAINBOW BUDDY- WHAT'S MAKIN' YA SO UNHAPPY?

[ERROR]
QUIT PLAYING GAMES YOU FUNKING MUSTARD!!

(He ties FreshInk up with blue string and boots him upwards with red bones.)

[FRESHINK]
UNRAD, BRO! NOBODY LIKE IT WHAN YA RUDE!

(Error smashes FreshInk into pieces of land and blows him up with Gaster Blasters.)

[FRESHINK]
AS YA CAN SEE, HOSTILITY CAN BE CHALLENGIN' AT TIMES.
IT'S A SIGN DAT THEY'RE ALL UP IN THEIR HEAD, FIGHTIN' A MUCH HARDER BATTLE DAN DA EXTERNAL.
AND MOST PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE OF IT.

(Error's blue strings squeeze FreshInk's spray cans open, releasing clouds of purple smoke. The clouds form one giant cloud that looks like it has multiple hands)

[FRESHINK]
FIND OUT WHAT IT IS DATS TORMENTIN' DEM.
AND USE DAT WEAKNESS AGAINST DEM TA DESTROY THEIR LIFE.
LET DEM KNOW DAT NOBODY MESSES WITH YOU.

(A Fresh parasite's eye/mouth appears in the middle of the cloud. The cloudy hands all speed towards Error, who creates a glitchy portal and escapes.)

[FRESHINK]
...AND THAT MAH FREINDOS, IS HOW YA COME TA REALIZE DAT YOU MUST CARE ABOUT YASELF FIRST AND ABOVE ANYONE ELSE!

[ERROR]
YOU'RE FUNKING CRAZY!!!
I'M WASTING MY TIME WITH FREAKS LIKE YOU!
ONCE I'M DONE WITH INK, YOU'RE NEXT, WHOEVER YOU ARE!!!

(Fresh-Poof!! A rainbow cloud of smoke fills the screen and Fresh and Ink are in separate bodies again.)
---
[INK]
WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?
NONE OF THAT MADE ANY SENSE!

[FRESH]
Neither does eatin' paint but ya do it anyway...
Not da worst thing I tasted though.

[CORE FRISK]
So, is this "game" still about you?
I see you're having second thoughts.

[INK]
...This needs to stop now, right?

[CORE FRISK]
I wouldn't consider it that way.
From now on, there will be thousands of possibilites- each one with a margin of impact that will mark one before and after in the Multiverse...
...including YOU as as its "guardian".

(Broomie, Ink's brush, floats back to him.)

[INK]
I see...

(Ink transforms into his new outfit.)

[INK]
I know something big is coming.

[CORE FRISK]
...Aren't you forgetting something?

[INK]
Say "Thank you"?

[CORE FRISK]
CROSS, YOU BONEHEAD!

[INK]
OH MY GOD WHERE IS HE!?
---
[CROSS]
* Where's my heartlocket...?
* How could I've lost it in a fall like that?
* It shouldn't be too far from here, dammit...

[GENO]
* hey.

(holds up Cross's heartlocket)

[GENO]
* i think this is yours, buddy.
