Chapter 9 - Quiet Town and Temmie Village

Frisk P.O.V

I followed Napstablook inside a little blue house of Quiet Area which happens to be his home. I surveyed around the house, it looks dusty with lots of cobwebs around the place. The only things I can see here is a fridge, television, PC, and music albums laying on the floor. 

"So, this is your home huh?" I asked.

The Shuppet perked suddenly and turned to me wearing his headphones.

"Yeah... it's a little.... messy." Shuppet said softly, "I hope it doesn't bother you."

"No, no, it's fine really," I waved my paws in front of me, meaning to show no discomfort about his little home.

"Okay...." He turned to the computer screen where he was looking through the internet browser about music-sharing forum. It's all based on spooky music. It took a few minutes until the grumble was heard in the house. "What's.... that?"

"Sorry, that was my belly," I scratched my head sheepishly, feeling very embarrassed that my belly gave off that disturbing sound to interrupt the peaceful area.

"Oh... are you hungry?" He asked in concern, "I think I can get you something to eat..." He floats over to the fridge and opens it. He took out something from the fridge and turns around to show it, "This is a ghost sandwich... do you want to try it..."

"Okay..." I took the sandwich into my paws and took a small bite. But my mouth phrase right through it and frowned a bit, "Sorry Napstablook... I can't eat this sandwich." I handed the sandwich back to him.

"Oh... nevermind..." He ate the sandwich instead since it was his lunch. "After a great meal, I like to lie on the ground and feel like garbage... it's a family tradition..." He hovers over to the center of the house and looks back at me, "do you want... to join me...?"

"Sure." I agreed, making a small smile appeared on his face.

"Okay... follow my lead..." He laid down and I mimicked his move on the floor, "Here we go... you'll lie down as long as you don't move... " He turned to me, "so... only move around when you want to get up, I guess."

I stay still with Napstablook, the silence was getting to us. I could feel myself becoming useless and hopeless, but it was a tradition after all. After 15 minutes has passed, I decided to sit up for now. Napstablook notice me got up and so does he.

"Well, that was nice..." He said, and then smiled at me, "Thank you..."

"You're welcome, Napstablook." I replied with a patient smile.

"Oh, there's something I want to show you," He hovers over to the albums on the ground, "I have made my own music using the sound mixer, there are Spooktunes, Spookwaves and Gouliday. Would you like to hear them?"

"Of course," He gave me one of the spare headphones and I choose one of the music, I think Spookwaves sounds interesting. As soon as I placed the headphones over my large ears, Napstablook plays each of the music. They sound pretty cool yet spooky for a ghost.

"Hey Napstablook, I have to go now. But it's nice to hang out with you." I said, pulling off my headphones and stand up.

"You're leaving... that's okay... thanks for coming..." He said. I gave him a hug which simply wrapped my arms around the ghost. He smiled and tears fall from his eyes... he was happy. "Goodbye..."

"Bye..." I walked to the front door and left the house. That was sure a good time but I need to keep going. I saw another area next to the house and it appeared to be a snail farm. Napstablook appeared out of nowhere to check on the snails. I approached him and he noticed me straight away and smiled back.

"awkward... i'm working right now... i mean... welcome to blook family snail farm..."

"You worked here?" I asked.

"...yeah. I'm the only employee. This place used to get a lot of business... but our main customer disappeared one day... now it's just some hairy guy that shows once a month..." He answered. I looked at the farm and see four different types of 'snails': a Goomy, an Omanyte, a Shelmet and Shellos. "but... you should... get going... then...."

I nodded to him and left the farm, walking straight down another corridor until I came across a doorway to a cavern. I walked into the cavern and there was an elderly looking tortoise. His shell is black rock-like with holes that glow with a red warmth. His skin is reddish brown with gray-black bands on his legs and neck. He was wearing an archaeologist attire and a tan pith helmet. In his mouth he was holding was a large magnifying glass, examining the symbol on the wall.

"Hm?" He perked up a bit and turned around, "Oh, hello there kid, what could I do for you?" He greeted, walking over to me "I've got some neat junk for sale." He turned to the rag that displays with different items. "Ha! I'm trying to get RID of my junk, not get more of it! Though, I've heard if you want to sell stuff, the Temmie Village is your best bet."

"Temmie Village? Where is it?" I asked.

" Well..." He raised his paw to his head and scratched a bit, "I don't remember, sorry kid."

"Oh, that's okay." I chatted, "Well, I can ask you something?"

"Hmm? Well, of course, anything you wanna know." He boasted, taking a seat on the ground. "So, what are your questions?

"Could you tell me about yourself?"

"I've been around a long time. Maybe too long..." He began, speaking like a grandpa telling his past to his grandchildren "Studying history sure is easy when you've lived through so much of it yourself! Wa ha ha!"

"Also, I saw you examining the symbol over there, what is it?" I questioned, pointing at the symbol behind him. He turned around and grinned.

"Eh? You don't know what that is?" He asked, "What are they teaching you kids in school nowadays...?" He chuckled and nudged his head at the symbol, "That's the Delta Rune, the emblem of our kingdom. The Kingdom... of Monsters." He chuckled again, "Great name, huh?" I nodded in response, " It's as I always say... Ol' King Fluffybuns can't name for beans!"

"So what does the emblem mean?" I asked.

"That emblem actually predates written history..." He answered, "The original meaning has been lost to time... all we know is that the triangles symbolize us monsters below, and the winged circle above symbolizes... somethin' else. Most people say it's the 'angel,' from the prophecy..."

"The prophecy?"

"Yeah, there is a prophecy here." He nodded as he continued, "Legend has it, an 'angel' who has seen the surface will descend from above and bring us freedom." He looked at the emblem, "Lately, the people have been taking a bleaker outlook... callin' that circle the 'Angel of Death', a harbinger of destruction, waitin' to 'free' us from this mortal realm... In my opinion, when I see that little circle... I just think it looks neat!"

"Ooh, that reminds me... can you tell something about the King?"

"Who? King Fluffybuns?" He jested, "He's a friendly, happy-go-lucky kind of guy... if you keep walking around long enough, you'll probably meet him. He loves to walk around and talk to people."

"But why do you call him 'Fluffybuns?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Eh? Why do I call Dreemurr 'Fluffybuns?" He questioned and chuckled, "Oh, that's a great story!" He was about to tell me about the story but he looked like he was confused, "... I don't remember it. But if you come back much later, I'm sure I'll have remembered by then."

"Oh, okay then." I assured, "Lastly, who's Undyne?"

"Undyne?" He repeated and then answered, "Yeah, she's a local hero around here. Through grit and determination alone, she fought her way to the top of the Royal Guard. Actually, she just came through here asking about someone who looked just like you..." He stands up on his stumpy legs and placed his paw on my shoulder, "I'd watch your back, kid. And buy some items... it might just save your hide!" He gestured at the junk on the ground.

"No thanks, but I need to go now," I told him.

"Alrighty, but be careful out there, kid!" He replied.

"Okay, see ya." I bid farewell as I left the cavern and continued, as I came across more signs with more information about 'War of Humans and Monsters'.

The facts were interesting because only 'Eeveelution' souls are the only requirements to break down the barrier. But, I'm actually one of them so do I wish to die and offer my soul to them? My thoughts were tucking on me, forcing me that it was my decision to make. But... I couldn't. There was so much life down here, some Pokemon here showed no harm towards me, especially Sans and Papyrus.

I shook my head a bit before moving on, I appeared to be in a dark area and saw some glowing grass lighting up a path to show which way to go. I walked along the path and touch a glowing mushroom which lights up another path... I was about to make my way of this dark, glowing path maze until... 

hOI!

I heard an unusual sound of 'hOi' coming from a hidden area. I followed the noises and there was a small village full of... Meowths? I looked at the sign beside me.

hOI!! Welcome to... TEM VILLAGE!!!

"TEM VILLAGE? Looks like a Tem-tation." I surveyed around this little village. There are Meowths everywhere who knows how many they are? I saw four Temmies all had black hair and wearing blue shirts.

"hOI!! I'm Temmie!!! and dis is my friend... temmie!!!" The first one introduced.

"hOI!! I'm Temmie!!! and dis is my friend... temmie!!!" The second one said.

"hOI!! I'm Temmie!!! don forget my friend!" The third one added.

"Hi. I'm Bob.' The fourth one greeted, unlike the other three.

There are other Temmies on the other side, three of them have something in common.

"awawawawawah!! humans... such a... CUTE!!!!" The fifth one was acting like kawaii, almost passing out from cuteness.

"tem... WATCH EGG!!! eg... wil HATCH!!! tem... PROUD PARENT!!" The sixth one, was eyeing a hard-boiled egg.

"p... tem heard human allergics to tem.. dat OK... tem understand... tem... ALSO allergic to tem!!!" The seventh one had red spots appearing on its face and screamed. "hOIVS!"

I giggled a bit and went to the box to put away my food and used the Dog Residue. It was filled with more residue and... salads. I saw two signs, each both read...

hOI!! u shud check out... TEM SHOP!!!

yaYa!! i AGREES!! shud check... TEM SHOP!!!

I walked into a room where inside was a set-up shop with a Temmie inside its little box that read 'TEM SHOP' in yellow and blue. It looked up and shouted, "hOI! welcome to... da TEM SHOP!!!" It said.

I walked up to the creature and since I put away my food and got Dog Residue, I went up and place the leftover on the counter.

"WOA!! u gota... Dog Residus!!!" It exclaimed, wide-eyed and whimpers, "hnnn.... I gota have dat DogResidus... but I gota pay for colleg," It vibrates intensely, "hnnnn....!!! tem always wanna DogResidus...! tem buy DogResidu for... 4G!!!"

"YayA!" I receive 4G from Temmie and saw a sign where it says that '1000G is tem pay 4 colleg'. "I got a plan!"

2 weeks later...

I loaded a bag of 1000G on the counter, surprising Temmie.

"WOA!! thas ALOT o muns..." It said, looking at the size of the bag, "can tem realy acepts..." It let out a huge smile and shouted, "OKs!!!! tem go to colleg and make u prouds!!!" It took the bag and ran outside, after a few days, it got back with a graduation cap. "tem bak from cool leg, tem learn MANY THINS, learn to sell new ITEM! yayA!!!" It brought up a new item on the counter.

"That a temy armour?" I asked.

"tem armor so GOOds! any battle becom! a EASY victories!!!" It scratches its head, "but, hnnn, tem think... if u use armors, battles wound b a challenge anymores, but tem... have a solushun! tem wil offer... a SKOLARSHIPS! if u lose a lot of battles, tem wil LOWER THE PRICE! so if you get to TOUGH BATLE and feel FRUSTRATE, can buy TEM armor as last resort! but tem armor so goods, promise to only buy if you really needs it."

"Well, guess what? I lost lots of battles and I don't think I can beat a powerful monster without protection..." I lied, with a fake worry in my voice. Temmie looked at me surprised to hear that.

"You need to by temy ARMOR!!! it can help u" Temmie said, holding up the armor, "its price r now 750G! By it!"

"Okay, it's a deal!" I said, handing Temmie 750G and receive the armor. Temmie looked happy. "Thanks Tem!"

You got the temy Armour.

"bOI!" It waved as I left the shop and check the new armor. I took off my ribbon and pocket it away and donned on the armor. It was plate armor with shoulder pads of temmie faces. It looks silly on me but the protection can save me and I'll use it against Unydne. I walked back to the glowing paths after giving goodbyes to all the Temmies which I hear was 'bOI!'. And right now, the glowing paths are starting to fade and only things that can lit up was these lanterns, they only last a few seconds, I got out of here and now I'm in a dark cave with no lights... I found an Echo Flower and bent down to listen to the whisper.

'Behind you.'

I draw back and turned around to see the armored monster, Undyne. She approached me slowly and with the sounds of crunching gravel underneath her paws, send shivers down my spine. I began to sweat as she got closer. I gripped on my sweater collar and backed up against the wall. The Vaporeon stopped and began to speak.

"...Seven. Seven 'Eeveelution' souls. With the power of seven 'Eeveelution' souls, our king. King ASGORE Dreemurr... will become a god." The voice was too feminine to recognize that this Undyne was a female monster. "With that power, ASGORE can finally shatter the barrier. He will finally take the surface back from humanity... And give them back the suffering pain that we have endured..." She looked at me through her helmet, "Understand, Eevee?" I whimpered and backed up more, refuse to answer back, "This is your only chance at redemption." She raised her tail and held it up high, "Give up your soul... Or I'll tear it from your body."

She drew back and an energy blue star appeared at the tip of her tail. Taking a step forward, she swings her tail at full force to cast the star towards me....
