*You move faster and faster as the rumbling of the core grows.

*The energy thins until little more is left then gears and fears of what's to come next.

Frisk: 'Yeesh, you don't need to be so dramatic.'

*The lights flicker off and on, the metal trembles, the bridge-

Frisk: 'Okay fine, you can be a bit dramatic.'

*The core readies for an annihilation that You-

Frisk: 'I SAID A BIT, NOT-Woah!'

*You skid to the edge of the bridge. Metal zooms past you and enters into a deep darkness...?

Frisk: 'Alphys can only shuffle those rooms so fast. Now, get ready, we need to find a place with a green door. It should be her headquarters.'

*Why would Alphys ever let her headquarters near us?

*You smirk.

Frisk: 'Who said we're staying still?'

*!

*You hop off the bridge, falling into the darkness as the muzzle of your gun shines a bright yellow. You aim it ahead an-

*Bang!

*The bullet illuminates the way forward enough for you to find and kick off a wall to chase after it.

*You run on the walls of the shuffling rooms and jump whenever you run out of metal to sprint on.

Frisk: "Hahaha! This is awesome! I'm-'

*Bam!

*Metal shatters as a bright red hue overcomes the darkness. Your escape is within reach.

*!

*The walls of two rooms try to close off the exit by smashing together, you leap to your freedom and feel the metal touching the sides of your head.

*BAM!

*By the skin of your teeth you escape. You're fortunate that the blown-off wall's edge was wide enough to hold onto. Or you'd be taking a very painful lava bath by now.

Frisk: 'Woo, you're really not gonna like what I'm going to do next.

*What ar-

*y-YOU IDIOT!

*Your body heats up as the lava gets closer and closer and-

Frisk: 'Chill!'

*You aim your gun downwards at the very edge of the core. Squinting your eyes you take your death shot.

*Bang!

*Another wall crumples, you grab the sides of the torn metal and pull yourself inside.

*You hang by one arm as your smile turns to a full-blown grin.

Frisk: 'I told you I'd be fine.'

*You're insane.

Frisk: 'Maybe I'm just more acrobatic than you thought?'

*If we die-

Frisk: 'You've said that like a hundred times already! Chill, I know what I'm doing.'

*...What are you doing?

Frisk: 'Playing smart.'

*You raise your gun and shoot into the darkness. Another chase?

Frisk: 'Nope, you're right that Alphys would never allow her headquarters close to us. In fact, the most logical thing to do would be to keep the headquarters as far away from us. If we don't know where we are then of course that's useless-' (For)

*But if we do we can conclude she's in the room farthest to this one. Which would mean-

Frisk: 'High-up on the other side. But she'll be switching to this side once she notices the bullet. Or at least that's what I hope. She could realize that we aren't following the bullet, or her cameras might extend to as far as even here...'

*You look up.

Frisk: 'The longer we wait the higher the chance she'll catch on. But if we go too early she'll notice us anyway...admittedly not a perfect plan. But it's the best I could come up with.'

*...How do you plan to reach her?

Frisk: 'Bulldoze through this metal with a good bullet or two.'

*...

*I think there's an easier solution.

Frisk: 'Oh?'

*On Monster.net, scientific accomplishments 23rd, W.D Gaster gave a full explanation of how the movement of the core operated. Certain rooms, like the cooling system, can not be moved because Snowdin's water route to the core would not function thanks to the geography...unless of course monsters have significantly terra-form-

Frisk: 'Time-sensitive situation Chara, skip to the important part!'

*Point is, certain rooms can not be moved, some can only be moved with other rooms, and some can-

Frisk: 'Chara!'

*It's a big puzzle, okay? And just like a puzzle, if you know where one piece is you can guess where the others are. If we keep a close eye on which rooms are being moved we can figure out if Alphys control room is above us or not.

Frisk: '...But aren't they like...what did Alphys say again...umh 666 something rooms?'

*Many have different colors, shapes, and even sounds when mov-

Frisk: 'Chara I've given interest to Alphys's science...I have not been her fucking lab-assistant. I don't know 666 rooms by the back of my hand. That be crazy!'

*...

Frisk: 'No...don't tell me-'

*Gaster's blog was very extensive and well-written-

Frisk: 'Chara you're such a fucking Gaster fanperson!'

*I am NOT a fanperson. I just have-

Frisk: 'That is so not true, you're the dweebest of-'

*Just raise your gun and shoot when I tell you to, okay?

Frisk: 'Pff, fine.'

*Rooms shuffle at an increasingly chaotic pace.

Frisk: 'Don't make excuses now!'

*I'm not! Your gun shines.

*...Bathroom...so the bathing area is...which means that...umh...

Frisk: 'Shoot or not Chara! Don't need your thought process!'

*F-fine! Just wait a bit...a bit more...NOW!

*The bullet rips apart dozens of walls, blowing straight out of the core. You make a mad dash to the highest room.

*A room shifts to cover the final hole.

Frisk: "I'm ready for your room bullshit now Alphys!"

*You toss the empty gun between the hole and the room, briefly halting the shuffling. You fling yourself forward and-

*Right as the gun snaps you reach the final room. Before you is a green door. You sigh.

Alphys: "S-so that's it then...'

*You turn to face Alphys. The room is poorly lit, but the control panel's many monitors allow you to see the size of the well...the control panel...it's massive.

*You stride forward.

Frisk: "Yeah Alphys... it's game over."
