Ch 52: Hunt

*You dodge spear after spear, your ballet shoes making you as nimble as the wind.

Frisk: "Ooh Undyne I plead for you to understand that I need my hand and head to move ahead. So let me live and I'll strive to make things right. Ooh, Undyne I plead-"

Undyne: "SHUT UP!"

*You jump over floor spears and deflect another one with the sole of your ballet shoe.

Frisk: 'Yeesh, I didn't think my singing was that bad.'

*She seems distraught.

Frisk: 'Yeah thanks Mx.obvious.'

*What I mean is a subtler approach is needed to spare us a spear through our heads. One unlike your brutish acts and more...sophisticated. Delicate, yet precise and intelligent.

Frisk: '...Or in other words, you?'

*Correct.

Frisk: 'Woah, even I don't stroke my ego that much before offering a solution.'

*Do you want help or do you want to die?

Frisk: 'Tch, and knowing big words doesn't make you-'

*Are you really going to choose to die instead of my help?

*...You roll your eyes in a VERY impolite and-

Frisk: 'Oh shut it, just get this over with.'

*Hmph.

Chara: "Undyne!"

Undyne: "What is it you filthy-"

Chara: "Go fuck yourself."

Frisk: 'What the fudge-'

Undyne: "WHY YOU-"

Chara: "You're a nasty tuna-looking wannabe hero who can't even aim her own spears! You're a shame to the royal guards, a failure to your people, and all your doing is fighting an innocent kid...and LOSING!"

*The number of cusses Undyne is generating is truly staggering for my pure mind.

Frisk: 'Pure? You just ended her whole career!... Wait does she get paid for this or is it like community service and-'

*Undyne erupted upward, shooting past the bridge like it was made out of cardboard and sending us up with her. Which is when we realized that the roof of Waterfall was not a soft thing.

Frisk: 'DAMN IT-'

*Undyne spun around, tossing us back down with so much force that we shot through multiple bridges like a bullet hitting tissue paper.

*I slam onto a sturdier bridge. Struggling up I see Undyne flying towards me like a rocket, ready to drop-kick me into the Abyss.

Frisk: 'CHARA!'

*At the very last moment You roll out of the way, yet we are forced to hold on to the ledge for dear life as the bridge shakes and nearly collapses from Undyne going straight through it.

*Good thinking.

Frisk: 'Fuck you! A-and I mean it! You're all on this crap about delicateness and then you-'

*Cram it. I play the long game, you'll see the results when we're done.

Frisk: 'Pff, I doubt! She just went straight to the dark below, the only chance we have to see her again is at her funeral. And uh, spoiler alert, I'm not attending.'

*...

Frisk: 'Come on, don't feel bad for her. She's as much of a psycho as-'

*Blue.

Frisk: '?'

*Look below.

*You look and find a trail of tiny blue dots on a nearby wall...another dot is made, a bit higher than the last one.

Frisk: 'She's climbing up?'

*It appears Undyne is ready to chase you to the ends of the earth.

Frisk: 'Ugh, c-can we just kill her? Like, come on! She'd rather die than let us go! There's no way to reason with-'

*All she needs is a sophisticated approach.

*You sigh.

Frisk: 'Fine. I'll entertain your fantasy, but we need proper teamwork to survive this.'

*Agreed.

Frisk: 'Chara...'

*Yes?

Frisk: 'Drop a beat!'

*We take in a deep breath.

Chara: "Ba ba Ba b-ba! PSsh bu ba psh pah bam bam other dropping a beat noises!"

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

*The power of my beat flows through you, you are filled with DANCE POWER!

*You start tap-dancing and moving your arms like you're swimming through a merciless ocean.

Frisk "Hm, oh yeah, channeling in my inner Dogerina for this one! Hmm!"

*You back-flip off the bridge and use the nearby wall to run towards the blue lights below.

*You're close enough to see Undyne hanging on one of her spears, her eyes widen as she sees you wall-run towards her.

Frisk: "UNDYNE!"

*Undyne swings her body to stand on the spear, bending it.

Frisk: "FACE ME IF YOU DARE!"

*The spear snaps up as Undyne leaps off it.

Undyne: "GLADLY PUNK!"

*Her fist collides with your shoe.

Frisk: "Tap dancing barrage!"

Undyne: "Fist of justice!"

*A hail of fists and kicks perfectly counter each other as you both fall down. To get an edge you'll need to look into other options like-

*The spear!

Frisk: 'Got it!'

*Grabbing the planted spear you rip it off the wall and toss it high above, then you jump off one of Undyne's fists to chase after it.

*Grabbing it mid-air you slam it back into the wall, slowing and eventually halting your ascent up.

*You stick out your tongue at Undyne. Flexing your arms you bend the poor spear till it's near snapping. Then, you let go.

*It sends you flying through the air and back towards the bridges.

*You enjoy the breeze that tickles your nose...well until you hear IT.

Undyne: "nnnNGHAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

*A flung Undyne shoots through the air faster than you ever could. Grabbing you by the head You can feel her muscles straining so hard that you know something awful yet very anime is about to happen. You brace yourself.

*Undyne tosses you through the holes you made the first time she threw you. You faintly see an iron blur move past you before looking up to find Undyne standing on the original bridge. While you're still passing the final hole she takes a mighty step forward that...oh goodness...she flips over the rest of the bridge high into the air... Is this an anime? Are we about to die to the protagonist?

Undyne: "NGAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

*She screams at the top of her lungs as her iron fists smash into your jaw.

20/52

*Your body is launched straight through the flipped-over bridge, snapping it in half like it's a stick.

16/52

*Undyne then jumps onto one of the bridge's halves and bounces off to intercept you on your journey up.

Undyne: "NGAH!"

10/52

*Her kick sends you hurtling into and through the other bridges halves

6/52

*You slide against an undamaged bridge, tearing off pieces of your already bruised skin.

4/52

*You lay on the floor, with a minor concussion and at least a few broken bones.

*In your blurry vision you vaguely see Undyne's super-hero land on the bridge you're on, the broken pieces of the original bridge falling down as she walks to you.

Frisk: "Uuuh."

*You've done a good job, now, it's my turn.

Undyne: "S-see! This...is the power...MONSTERS possess when...when-"

*Undyne falls to her knees, panting and hopelessly trying to catch her breath in a suit that won't allow it.

Chara: "Y-y-yoo-ou-"

*I paused, then used my one good hand left to snap my jaw in place. It stung like hell, but it fixed the stuttering at least.

Chara: "You should take out your helmet, it'll let you breath easier and-"

Undyne: "SHUT UP!...L-like I'd ever t-take advice from YOU!"

*Exactly why I suggested it. But I'll keep that to myself.

Chara: "Why not?"

*I managed to sit down to properly talk to Undyne.

Chara: "I mean, was anything I said before wrong? Ask around Waterfall, and everyone will agree that we've done nothing to harm them. While you? You've harmed plenty."

Undyne: "Shut...up."

Chara: "If you don't believe me just look around. These bridges are integral to getting around Waterfall. and LOOK at the damage you've done to them in your little hissy fit. The underground shouldn't be your hunting grounds. You-"

Undyne: "You...you think you're so innocent because I can't see the dust on your hands. But that doesn't change ANYTHING! You..."

*Undyne struggles up, manifesting a thin spear to point at me.

Undyne: "You...You killed Papyrus. Didn't you?"

*...

Undyne: "Don't play dumb! I...I know you came from the ruins, Alphys told me so. I... I bet you were the one that destroyed her cameras! So you could try to play innocent and get away with what you've done! Well you're fucking out of luck punk....because I...I know Papyrus."

*...Undyne's shaking.

Undyne: " Is he Weird? Naive? Self-absorbed? Sure. But Papyrus NEVER missed a meeting. And...and...he always responded on the first two rings! Night! Day! Afternoon! Morning! It doesn't matter! Papyrus will pick up the phone, and he'll do it with that same stupid glee he always has when he's called upon! He...he isn't the sort to miss a call... or miss three calls... or ten... or fifty...."

*Undyne's spear almost snaps under the pressure of her own strength.

Undyne: "I know...knew Papyrus. And you killed him!"

*Undyne rips her helmet right off. Her shark-like teeth are clenched so tight that I wondered how they didn't snap. Her hair was in a disarray and her singular eye was as small as a needle's point.

Undye: "Do it Human! Lie straight to my face and say that you're as innocent as you fucking claim! That you didn't kill him!"

*...

Chara: "I...I-i..."

Frisk: 'I killed him Chara, just talk. It's not a lie if you say it. if you-'

Chara: 'I know that! Of course it's not my fault!'

Chara: "I..."

*My vision blurred as I fought to get the clever words I had thought of out of my throat.

Chara: "We...He didn't-"

Undyne: "Come on...don't drag this out! Just tell me...look at me and tell me-"

*I looked at Undyne, her eyes contained a faint hope.

Undyne: "T-tell me that you didn't do it...that he's...alive."

*...

Chara: "I-i...I'm...."

*My vision got worse as the image of his headless body pushed into the front of my mind. I looked at my hands...they didn't seem as clean as I remembered.

Undyne: "You...you're crying? Your fucking crying?! You have the fucking gull to cry like you're some sort of victim in all of this!"

*Spears surround Undyne, her panting was fainter than before. But our bones were just as broken. I looked to the abyss below.

Chara: "I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't-"

Undyne: "Shut up! You're not a victim... You're the villain! The enemy to all of us monsters! A demon! And I'm the one who'll strike you down! So die demon! DIE!"

*The spears shoot at me, using the strength I have left I grabbed the edges of the bridge and pulled myself towards and then past it.

*We fell deeper and deeper down into the abyss. The last thing I heard before all went dark was the faintest of sobs.

*I could not tell who it belonged to.
