Samael gasped for breath, as he held onto his very heart. He almost feels like he is about to collapse to the ground and die. He held it tightly, as he than sunk down to the ground. He can feel very hurt by this. He slid down, the rock against his back, as he looked down at the ground. So many things, they are happening all at once. He does not know how much he can take. The more he presses on, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more that he needs to keep on moving. If this keeps up, he will not know what to do. He will not know how to deal with this situation, and will be up against more monsters that you cannot even kill. The Amalgamates are one such example, due to how unbearable they are, and he only got lucky with the guards, especially when he had killed one of them. He could only look back at what had just happened, as he held his head. Luckily, the voices are gone for now, but how long will it be until it comes back...he does not know, but he knows that it will be much more quicker and possibly much more aggressive than before. He cannot waste anymore time. He needs to find a way forward.

Samael stood up, as he began to look around, and now...now he is back at the area where his new Save Point is at right now, which he has to remind himself of this sort of thing. Samael than looked down, before looking up, as he than stood up. He held his head, as he than shook it, due to the fact that he had just died again. But oddly, the Fiend is a bit farther for some reason, and he has no idea why. Maybe because he has gained some more LV enough to make him far away? It is possible, as the Scarlet Moth came, as she looked down at Samael, before she than spoke out.

"What are you doing, lying down on the floor?"

Samael looked at Chara and spoke out to her.

"Being miserable, that's what."

This made Chara not a bit happy at the sarcastic tone that he had making, as she than spoke out.

"Do you think that this is the time to use that sort of tone on me now? Use it when we are out of any possible danger. Besides, the Hunger is going to come back to you and you know that."

Samael sighed, before he than stood up from the ground, as he than spoke out.

"Damnit, I hate it that I need to do this once again. Fine, I'll keep on going now, even though I want to do it later. Besides, not like the answers are going to find me anyway."

Samael than looked around the area that he is in, as he than turned to another direction, in order to try and get out of Hotlands. He could feel like he wants to keep on going, despite the fact that it is against his own choice. Even though he is now continuing, he does not want to, and it is not because he wants to. It is because he is unable to try and stop himself. He does not know why this is the case. He tries all he can to stop himself, because deep down, he cares so deeply for Aliza, and deep down, he hopes that he can be captured by her, but for some reason, whenever he tries to stop himself, his body will forcefully continue forward. Whenever he tries to go against the idea of going forward, a sudden push and urge will appear to force him to keep on going. So Samael, he cannot stop trying to go forward, even if he wants to finally stop. It is against his own choice, his goals becoming his new will, and he is forced to carry out this goal that he had assigned himself. His Determination, because his own curse. And a curse that will force him to see the most horrific sights that will forever plague his nightmares, and it shall be one that will not go away for a very long time, even if he does free the entire monster race.

Samael held his backpack and bag, with the large bag holding the Capsule that has the artificial soul. Samael cannot help but feel worried about the fact that he has never seen a soul such as this before. The power is making him worried, because it feels almost otherworldly, due to the unknown magic that is inside of it. Samael simply wishes that he can chuck it and throw it as far away as he can, but he knows that it will make the situation more difficult, and the fact that it will most likely be needed in order to take down whatever it is that has caused this Hunger, which is that Fiend. But he also needs to know something. Back at that memory, Alphys mentions about a flower that she has made that lead to this entity appearing. Just what is she talking about? What flower? Is it that fiend that she is referring to? Who even is that fiend? What was he like on the first place? Samael needs to know some answers that will help him solve this mystery. But for now, he needs to keep on moving. He has so many things that are around him, such as watching out for Aliza, watching out for Sans, making sure that Chara does not manipulate him, and making sure that he does not get consumed and eaten alive. So many things are happening at the same time, and he has no idea how to deal with it. He is just so tired, but he cannot stop now. He needs to keep moving.

As Samael kept on moving, he saw that there is another door, and it is exactly the same one as the one that has the kitchen at the other side. This made Samael unhappy, as he spoke out.

"Well, shit."

Samael then went to a direction, and he entered into an entrance of some kind, and he sees another puzzle.

Samael looks at this new puzzle, and it is a bit more complex than before. Obviously this is going to get more and more complex as he tries to open the doors to where he needs to go to. This made Samael look annoyed once again, due to fact that he has to try and go over to do a very hard puzzle once again, the last 2 for the last time. This made Samael angry, but he did not shout out, as he knows that this will not make anything feel better. So he activated the machine with his Taser, using up the third cartridge, as the Taser zapped the Machine to life, the electricity coming back on, as Samael looked to see that the same rules apply just the same as the previous 2 times, but there is one new thing about this, and it is that he has only one shot that he can use, as Samael spoke out.

"Ahh, great, as if it isn't bad enough. Now I only have one shot to go against this ship. How much more worse can it get for me now?"

This made Samael infuriated, as he cannot believe that he has to do this yet again. He hits his head against the counter, but he shook his head and got to work on what he needs to do. He than began to try and move the squares as much as he can, but this proved to be very difficult for him, due to the way the the squares have been are he's, at least, the white ones, and because of this, he needs to put the black squares out of the way, so that he can fire at it. He does not know what will happen if he misses, and he dares to not know what will happen, unless it forces him to recharge the game again, and he does not have enough cartridges that can keep him inside of the game. Because of this, he needs to make sure that he does it in the right spot and areas that he wants it to be in. Samael does all that he can, and after what most have been an entire minute, he is able to get all of the black boxes out of the way, and Samael than fired the shot at the Ship. This made the door activate on one side, as he than went out, and saw that the door is glowing, just like before, and this made Samael a bit happy that he is able to do that, but he cannot let that get in the way, for he needs to do the next and last shooting puzzle. He went to the other side, as he then saw it.

And now, he is at the final puzzle, which is, in his opinion, the most complex puzzle that he's ever seen, due to the position that it is in. It took a little bit longer to arrange it perfectly then the third one, but in time, he did it, and he fired the shot, which hits the ship. Samael signed, as he than goes to the door, and it opened, with Samael going to the other side. Samael looked, and saw what looks like a night sky for a stage performance, and he goes up, to see a multi-colored floor.

This made Samael angry, as he felt his right eye twitch, as he than spoke out.

"Are you fucking serious?"

He smacks himself on the face, but he than remembered something.

"Wait a sec, I'm wearing a jet pack, I'm such an idiot!!"

Samael than pressed onto the handles and flies over the multi-colored floor, as he went to the other side without issue, as Samael smiled, before he than spoke out.

"Phew. Now that is how you remember stuff."

Samael looks around the area that the is in, as he than spoke out to the Devil who appeared.

"Oh, you're back. I didn't expect that."

The Devil nodded, as he than spoke out to him.

"Of course I am back. However, I should warn you, that you are not off the hook, because there is a possibility that there is another monster that is here. And it is one that you possibly don't want to meet in person."

Samael looks at the Devil and nodded his head.

"Noted."

Samael than looks down and touched the top of his head, as he than felt a sharp point. This made Samael flinch a little bit, but he than remembered, his horns. This made Samael look at his hand, and luckily, he did not get pierced and made a hole in the palm of his head. Samael sighed, as he than continued elsewhere to try and find a way out. But as he went forward...he heard a small shriek. This made Samael stunned. It sounds like...stridulating. It didn't take long for Samael to realize what it is that has arrived. He turns around...and a colony of spiders appeared. If there is one thing that scares Samael out of his mind, it is spiders, the one thing that he feared the most as a kid.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Samael tried it run, but the spiders made a bunch of webs around his wrists and legs, as he is now trapped. The spiders than grabbed Samael by the legs, and dragged him forward, and this made Samael frightened.

'Wh-What are they gonna do to me?!'

Samael has no idea what is about to happen, but he than reached the purple part of the cave, and Samael saw a Save Point. Samael, with the little movement that he has, touched it as soon as he got close, and activated the Save Point. He knows that he cannot abuse this power, but at this point, he is too scared to even think. As they continued forward, he saw the area is purple, and there is a large entrance...and it is what is behind the entrance that is very large...and he saw something that is behind the entrance.

Samael is horrified. There is a large spider in there, but he cannot clearly see what it looks like. All that he knows, is that he is going to be taken by something that is going to be the end of his life. Samael tried to free his arms and legs, but with physical strength alone, he just can't. Than, he remembers something.

'Spider webs, they have a tensile strength similar to steel. I can't break through something as tough as that! Oh god, I'm dead!!!'

Samael felt the feeling of fear crawling up his spine, as he looks to see that he is about to enter the place, and he saw that there is a large carapace of some sort of a Muffet  that has a mouth, but it has holes on multiple sides, and 4 legs, and this made Samael afraid, as he is dragged into a hole, his back dragged against the spider webs, as Samael stopped moving, as if he had dinner in a platter. And when he looked up, with the little lighting that he has, what he saw almost made him scream.

Before his very eyes, above his web-bound body, is a grotesque monstrosity of some sort, with 5 eyes, and 6 arms with 6 hands. The entity is very fat, eating and it is not moving for god knows how long, due to the fact that she is a very large monster. But the monster, it took on the form of what he is afraid of the most: a Spider. This is due to the fact that he had nearly died from a Black Widow spider when he is almost a teenager, and he was luckily sent to hospital. But now, he won't be poisoned, he will be eaten!

"Ahh...looks at what we have hear...a human~."

Her voice, it sounds distorted, and yet...oddly...it sounds so kind and sweet, soft spoken in a way, as Samael spoke out.

"Who...who are you?"

Samael said, his voice quivered in fear, as he did all that he can not to scream, as Muffet smiled, before speaking.

"My name is Muffet, Dearie, hu hu hu. It is very unfortunate you that I have found you, and that you shall be eaten alive."

Samael than looked and saw in the corner of his eye that a spider is coming towards him, as Samael felt horrified, he tried to move, but his arms and legs are stuck and the webs are too strong for him to get out of the way. Than, the spider got in close...and bites his neck, as he felt immense agony. As Muffet starts to get close to him, he can feel his vision blurring and trying to change, as Muffet spoke out.

"Do not worry, Dearie...I shall make this painless for you~. Hu hu hu~!"

Sameel could feel something...he feeling...relaxed, and yet...his body is still struggling. He sees himself that he is inside of his own bed, inside of his house, as he feels the comfy feeling of it. Samael felt like he should not move...but than...he heard a voice spoke out.

"Wake up,
Wake up,
Wake up."

Samael got confused...but than...the Devil appeared out of nowhere and scared him, and this made Samael snap out of his hallucination, as he shouted out.

"NO!!!!" 

The instant that happened, his made fire appear and his wrists and ankles, as Muffet nearly got close to grabbing him, only for heat to appear that made her reel her hand back, as Samael burned the webs off of his wrists and ankles, as Samael stood up from the ground, and he looks very stressed.

This made Muffet stunned, as she spoke out.

"How...you should have felt relaxed. How did you escape, dearie?"

Samael than looks at Muffet and spoke out.

"You aren't the first to do that to me, to trap me inside of my own mind...and well...let's say I have something in my mind that can aid me in this sort of thing."

Samael looks behind him and saw the Devil, who gave him a thumbs up, as Samael smiled, and did a thumbs up behind his back. The Devil smiled, before he disappeared, as Samael spoke out.

"Are you gonna let me go? because I'm pretty sure you don't want me to kill any of your spiders by accident."

This made Muffet look down, as he spoke out.

"And you won't. But since you are so considerate of not wanting spiders die, I'll still give you a painless death. But now...I'll take you, in an old-fashion way, dearie. Hu hu hu~!"

This made Samael flinch, as he realized what is about to happen next.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Samael's soul flashed 3 times, as he entered battle against Muffet, her eyes staring down at Samael, as he clenched his fist, his hands covered in flames, as Samael tried to check her stats. Problem is, when he tried that, something blocked his way. When he tried to see her stats, the information is obscured entirely by cobwebs. They invade his eyes, his nose, and his mouth, almost like they are alive in a way, as Muffet than giggle

"Hu hu hu... oh no, my dear, that just won't do! No cheating, if you want to fight, we must fight the old-fashioned way!"

Samael's left eye twitched, as he snarled out.

"Damn it!"

He than felt something, he looks down, and saw that his soul is turning purple, the battle box is being filled with purple liquid, as he filled up everything, and before Samael knew it, the entire body is filled, before it is gone, but his soul is now purple, and there are 3 lines. Samael, for one, is in the middle, in between the other 2 lines, as Muffet spoke out.

"Hu hu hu, purple seems to fit you right, dearie. Don't feel blue~."

Then, spider began to rush towards him, as Samael dodged the spider by going onto the lines, and Samael is lucky to avoid them, as they went to him as fast as they can. Samael looked like he is about to sweat, as he has no idea what to do next. He checked the area that he is in, and he saw that there is an entrance, but it is blocked off. And he cannot kill Muffet, due to how huge she is. He could set the place on fire but...that would mean killing himself, as he would resist even his own attacks. He could try and use his sword and axe, but that will mean killing the smaller spiders, and Muffet is going to kill him in mere moments, due to her massive size. Samael needs to think of a plan.

Samael than turned to the side, and sees that a the spiders are carrying something.

The spiders carried a sign that says 'Up Next.' But what is up next, since there is nothing on the sign. Samael's eyes are half-lidded, as if to tell them what kind of sick prank that they are playing at, but the spiders do not seem to notice, as Samael got ready for what is about to happen in this fight next. He can't fight for now. But what he can do...is mercy. It may sound strange...but he needs to find another way around this situation that he is in. Muffet smiled, as she spoke out.

"Hu Hu Hu~. Why are you hesitant to fight back dearie? Are you scared of us?"

Samael looks up and spoke out.

"Scared to death about spiders, yes."

Samael than sweat a little bit, as more and more spiders came charging at him, and Samael just barley avoided the spiders. Muffet smiled, as she than launched purple webs to try and ensnare Samael. But Samael dodged the purple webs, just barely, as Samael turns to look at Muffet, who smiled at him, she touched her stomach, as he can hear the growling of her hunger echoing inside of the cave, as she than spoke out.

"Hu Hu Hu~. I cannot wait to feed on you, dearie. I must feed to satiate my hunger."

Samael thanks looked down a little bit, as he thinks of a plan. But he then remembered...they are hunger, and Muffet must not have eaten in a long time, as Chara than went to Samael and spoke out.

"Samael, what are you doing? You are in a fight, you need to kill her!"

But Samael spoke out.

"She is too big to kill, and if I try, I might accidentally step on her spiders and I'll be killed effortlessly. I have a better idea."

Samael than fished his hand into his bag, and this made Muffet confused, as she spoke out.

"What are you doing, dearie~?"

Samael smiled, as he than spoke out.

"You're hungry, huh? Well, I have something that can help with that. Here."

Samael than held out his hand, and too Muffet's shock, it is a Crab Apple, as she than spoke out."

"Is...Is that..."

Samael nodded his head, as he than spoke out.

"Come on, take it."

Muffet extended her hand, and takes it, before she looks at it. She recognized the Apple, as she than ate it. And the moment that she did...she felt something...leaving her, as Samael than took out another Apple, and she than ate it again, and than, another. Samael watches, as Muffet continues to chew onto the Crab Apples, as Samael spoke out.

"How do you feel?"

Muffet looks down, as she held her stomach, before she spoke out.

"I feel almost like...myself again."

Muffet looked down, as she felt sad, before speaking out.

"My goodness...what have I been doing?"

Muffet felt like she wants to cry, as black tears began to leak out, and Samael stepped forward, as he held out a handkerchief, and spoke out.

"Here. Take this."

Muffet looks at Samael, surprised that, even though she had tried to kill him, he is still acting kind to her now, but Muffet took it, and she rubbed her eyes, as Samale spoke out to himself quietly.

"Good thing she does not have a nose, otherwise, I wound be cleaning spider snot. Okay, that was a sentence."

Muffet was finishes, as Muffet spoke out.

"Thank you, human. I...I don't deserve such kindness from you, as the spiders that are with me, they...they saw you kill monsters."

Samael than looks at Muffet, as he than spoke out.

"I may kill, but I don't like it. Besides, many of the monsters decided to do that, and I was forced to do it in self-defense, or they have lost their senses. But you...you didn't lose all of your sanity. And besides, you care a lot for your spiders. So...I figured you don't deserve something like this."

Muffet smiled, as a single tear tricked down one of her eyes, as she spoke out.

"No words can describe how thankful I am. But...how did you get those Crab Apples? All of the food has been depleted when all of this started."

Samael shook his head, as he spoke out.

"Not all of them."

Luckily, Samael recorded how he got to Waterfalls and the area that he went to, as he showed Muffet a video of how he got the Crab Apples in the first place. This made Muffet look at Samael in awe, as he spoke out.

"Hopefully, this can help you with your insanity a little bit."

Muffet nodded with a smile, as she than spoke out.

"You know...you remind me of the human that fell down, and she is just as kind as you are now."

Samael spoke out.

"You mean Frisk?"

This made Muffet stunned, as she spoke out.

"Oh, you know of her?"

Samael spoke out.

"Not personally, but I do know of her daughter."

This made Muffet stunned, but she than remembered something.

"Oh, that is right. Frisk has been pregnant with Sans' child. I'm surprise at this. What...happened to her?"

Samael than looks at Muffet and spoke out.

"Same thing that happened to me."

He than felt black tears come out, and Muffet was stunned, as Samael spoke out.

"I got infected by this...Hunger. And right now...I'm trying to find some answers in dealing with this. Do you know of something that can help me in this?"

Muffet looked at Samael, and spoke out.

"I do. You see...the source of where that Hunger is coming from, my spiders have seen it, for it is somewhere in New Home, right wear the castle of the Dreemurrs are in, and where the barrier is located in. If I were looking for answers, I would after there."

Samael nodded, as he spoke out.

"Thank you. And also, if Frisk's daughter comes, along with her dad...don't kill her, okay? She maybe infected, but I still care for her life."

Muffet looks down a little bit, before she smiled, as she spoke out.

"Normally...I would not agree to this, but...since you gave me something that I thought was gone...I shall fulfill that."

Samael smiled, as he than spoke out.

"And one more thing..."

He than tells her about wha to do with the Crabapples if she were to have her spiders take thin, and tells them to plant the seeds once she is done, so that the Crab Apples can continue to grow and she can eat them, but she also tells them to use the Crab Apples sparingly, so that she does not run out of them. Muffet smiled, seeing how Samael, despite his killing spree, cares a little, as Muffet than slice the spider webs away from the exit.

"Thank you for helping, Dearie~. And also, if you decide to come back, let's have some tea together. Hi hu hu~!"

Samael nodded, he sweats a litte bit, as he than spoke out.

"Yeah, sure. See you later, Muffet."

Samael than left Muffet's area, as Chara was stunned that Samael was able to avoid killing her, but she spoke out furiously.

"Samael, why did you let her live?! You could have easily killed her and her spiders and-"

But Samael held his finger up and spoke out.

"I don't care about that, Chara. Besides, Muffet cares for her spiders, even if she has an odd way of showing it. I may be scared of spiders, but I am not remorseless and take pleasure in the pain. Besides, this is a much more easier way to get out of the area safely."

Chara wanted to argue, but she simply remains silent, as Samael continues forward. After he goes to another area of the Hotlands, he seems himself in front of a resort of some kind.

This made Samael surprised, as he than spoke out.

"Woah. Never knew that resort is needed."

He than noticed a red arrow that points to some place, and Samael decided to go there, in order to see what it is that waits here. He goes inside of the area, and it appears to be a shop, made of...garbage? Samael does not want to know about it.

"Some of these monsters can be a bit odd."

Samael than turns and goes to the resort, but not before planting some Crab Apple trees and giving it some water, that is clean. Samael than goes into the MTT Resort, and it is a mess. It looks like this place has gotten destroyed in a rampage of sorts, as Samael than saw a state of a box robot of sorts on the ground.

"Mettaton...I remember seeing his shows on Papyrus' TV. This resort must be named after him."

Samael than looked around, he sees a place with tables that he been turned over and broke into pieces. This made Samael confused, but he decided not to question it. He than goes to the other part of the Resort, as he than saw that it is hotel rooms of sorts, with beds and all of that. Samael than entered the second door...and surprisingly...it is very clean, and he not been used. This made Samael sigh, as he looked around the room, and checked under the bed to see that no one is in there. Samael, seeing the room empty, spoke out.

"One more rest wouldn't hurt."

Samael than locked the door, and he goes into the bed, he puts his stuff down, as he than decides to sleep. Samael shook his head, as he snuggled into the large bed, so that he can rest off from the experience that he had to go through. After all...he does not know how much he can take.

Dream...

Samael is in front of a house of some kind, and it is the house of the Skeleton Brothers, and Samael felt confused as to why he is here. But as he looked around...the voice of the Hunger appeared.

"You cannot escape from us!"

Samael turns around, and saw a wave is monster appear before him, with Sans and Papyrus among them. Samael, panicking, flees away from the insane monster as fast as he can, as The Hunger continues to speak out, but this time, speaking as if he is a normal human.

"You cannot run from us, no matter what you do! You will become consumed or become one of us, regardless of what you do!"

Samael kept on running, but than, a hand made Samael trip, as he fell flat onto his back, as Samael fled pain from it. And he looks, to see Aliza, half of the flesh from her face gone, an insane grin appears into her face, as she spoke, along with the Hunger.

"Come on, Samael! Join us in this wonderful feast!!!"

Aliza than lunged and opened her mouth wide, as she prepares to bite his face off...

"GAAAAHHH!!!"

Samael cried out, as he held onto his head, due to the fact that he just had a nightmare. He held his head, as he felt very horrified by what he had just seen. That is the most terrifying sight that he has ever seen.

Samael than shook his head, as he than spoke out.

"I had already wasted enough time. Besides...ghhh..."

Samael felt the Hunger trying to take control again, but in a bit more of a severe way, as he can feel his mind beginning to slip. Using the time he has left, he goes to his bag, and pulled out something that he gained from the Lab, a Bag of Chisps, as he opened it and ate the chisps inside of it, as Samael held the hunger back. He sealed the bag, as he than spoke out.

"Man, that is close."

Than, the Scarlet Moth came next to Samael, as Chara than spoke out.

"You had your beauty sleep?"

Samael than spoke out.

"There is nothing beautiful about it. Besides, I need to keep moving."

Chara nodded, as she than spoke out.

"Your next stop will be the CORE, the machine that kept the electricity in the underground running."

Samael nodded his head, as he took his bags and went outside of the room, as he goes up to the elevator, as he than pressed a button, as Samael spoke out.

"Well, inside of the Core, hopefully, I have enough it a chance try and do something about it. After all...I have no idea what is at the other side."

He than looks down at his sword in hand, as he spoke out.

"But regardless, I need to be ready...

...for any danger."
