Ch 82: Core

*You move onward.

*A metal elevator stands before you.

*...Deactivated.

*You move to the left door.

*...The road cuts off.

*You return to the firs-

Frisk: 'Holy shit!'

*You nearly fall into the darkness below. The room in which you came from is gone...you can hear the screeching noises of moving gears. (for)

Frisk: 'Seems like Alphys has plans for us.'

*...

*Click.

*...I think we can go back now.

*Leaving the empty room behind you find yourself on a long bridge. You-

*Click.

Frisk: 'And there goes our exit strategy.'

*You move onward. Underneath the bridge is pure white energy...falling inside could be lethal.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Frisk: 'I'm sure we'd be fine.'

*You move onward.

*You move onward.

*You move bac-

Frisk: 'Again...didn't do that.'

*...You move onward.

*You...don't seem to be going anywhere.

Frisk: 'Oh, right.'

Frisk: "Alright Dino Girl. I know you're listening!"

*...But no one responds.

Frisk: "Pff! Don't give me the cold shoulder Alphys. You're moving the bridges to keep me walking in circles...or square tiles I guess. The point is, the core needs manual instructions to shuffle around. And those red dots on top of the blue pillars? If my memory serves me right... they're a few cameras hidden in them." (...this.)

*A gasp comes from a speaker you can't find despite your best efforts.

Frisk: 'Alphys was always good at keeping things hidden...even to her own detriment.'

Alphys: "H-how do you know that?"

Frisk: "I know a lot of things Alphys. So here's a little spoiler for you Dino Girl, this won't keep me trapped."

*...No response.

Frisk: "Come on! If you didn't want to face me then-"

*The bridge splits apart. You almost drop to the energy below.

Alphys: "Umh, here's a spoiler alert o-of my own... I-i-i...I know your secret."

*The walls of the core open. Circular bots hover away from their containment and move to be just out of your reach. Their eyes are black but shine with a mixture of red, orange, and blue.

Alphys: "And... I know how to kill you-"

*The red and orange vanish as the blue consumes their black eyes. Beams shoot out from every bot, hitting you with lasers that force you to stand still...or face mortal peril.

Alphys: "Permanently."
