Waking Up Dead
I do not own this picture, it belongs to their respectful owner.
I know this is a weird idea, but I wanted to do it. I have seen people do this with Sans, someone waking up in his body, but I wanted to do it with Mettaton. But I also wanted it to be like a reincarnation sorta, so she wakes up in the ghost Monster when said Monster was a child, not as baby though. She doesn't remember her name, or how she looks, but she can remember random things from her life as a human, one of them is a game called Undertale that was a sensation on youtube. She has never played, but she watched a few of the walkthroughs. This becomes obvious later on, as she has holes in her information about the game.
It is safe to say she is not a happy camper, and refuses to follow a script. She is going to find a way to stop this child's twisted game no matter what.
Mettaton is transgender in the game, as a ghost has no gender but he goes by male pronouns. In this one it is the opposite, her going by female pronouns instead. The robot body will also look different when it comes into play.
-Start Chapter-
Slurred and muffled voices were the first thing to break through the darkness. She felt weightless, like she weighed nothing yet something. It was a bizarre feeling, unlike she has felt before. She remembers falling asleep......Then what?
Opening her eyes, she was met with a white ceiling. That was normal....Right? Slowly sitting up, she felt lighter. She made to stretch her fingers, but couldn't. Jerking, she looked down and was met with light pink stubs as hands.
'What is going on!?' She quickly looked down at the rest of her body, to see it was a light pink color with no legs. When she stood, she floated like a ghost. 'Did....Did I die...?' She tried remembering back, but hit a wall. 'Okay! Okay....Start small. What is my name?.....Oh god! I can't-!'
"-ook? Happstablook?!"
Jolting out from her panicked thoughts, she sharply turned. A bigger light yellow ghost with a sharp mouth tattoo on their middle, sharp teeth, and angry eyes, and a rough voice was looking at her. A soft giggled left her mouth out of shock once she realized that they were talking to her. The tattoo then opened and closed as the yellow ghost frowned, make her flinch back. That was not a tattoo, it made her wonder how they died.
The yellow ghost float closer, watching her in confusion. "Happstablook? What's wrong?"
It took her a moment to realize that they were talking to her. "Wha....What?" She blinked, not really understanding what was going on. Last she remembered she was human, alive and well...Right? It was hard to think back about herself, but she can remember not being a ghost of all things.
"Dumstablook! Get in here!" The yellow ghost yelled out before turning back to her. "You've been out for a while." They gruffly mentioned, frown growing in thought. "Did somthin' happen?"
Before she could even open her mouth, another ghost flew in, coming through the wall. The ghost was the same height as the yellow one, only a light green color. One eye was a X, the other a wide oval. They tilted their head, like asking a question. The yellow one ruffly shook their head in answer. "I just asked, and I have no idea!"
"I....." Both sharply turn to look at her. "I don't...." She took in a deep breath, trying to think on what to say. But she can remember that her Mother taught her that honesty was the best rout to go for. Even if she can't remember her face or voice, which broke her heart a little. But now was not the time to think on such things, she can do that and freak out later. Tears started forming, forget later, she can feel the panic rising now.
"I don't know who I am." Both ghost still, watching little pastel pink tears gather in the little ghost eyes. "I don't know where I am!" They only unfroze when the little ghost broke down, sobbing out that they didn't know their name or what was going on.
After that, it was blur for her. She was carried out by the yellow ghost, rushing her to the doctor. Through the tears, she saw colors and people pass her by. It was the people that made her cry out louder, making the yellow one fly faster.
They looked like animals, plants, like Monsters.
'Ghosts....Monsters?' Her heart speed up....No, it would be her SOUL wouldn't it? 'No. No!'
She did not want this, but she got it. She never even played the game, so why her? Sure she watched a few playthroughs, but she wasn't a hyper fangirl. Why not one of them? They would be the best wouldn't they?
'I wanna go home!' She cried as the wind went through her. 'I don't wanna be in Undertale!'
But you know the saying, we never get what we want.
-One Hour Later-
Somehow, they ended up in the royal lab. It turns out that most of the doctors are still training, none of them certified. While it has been quite a few years since the barrier has been put up for humans, it hasn't been long for the longer lived Monsters. A lot of medical doctors needed to be trained as they had lost so many in the war, and they would never let one in training do this as it turns out she is still a child.
Children were precious as they has lost so many during the war, even naturally as they are very important to Monsters, so she was sent straight to the top. Watching the yellow ghost threaten the poor part time doctor before they were sent to the royal lab, was flattering in a way. The ghost was so worried that they threatened to dust another. That wasn't something you should say lightly to another from what she can tell based on how everyone reacted to that threat.
The doors slid open, making her flinch and the yellow one growl. She was floating on a medical bed, sitting but yet not. It was so weird to her. Looking up, she choked. A tall skeleton with cracks on his skull in a lab coat was now walking towards her. "Hello, I am Dr. W. D. Gaster. Please call me Dr. Gaster." He gave a gentle smile down at her before glancing to the yellow one. "What seems to be the problem?"
"I came in from working on the farm, only to find them passed out. Ghost don't normally sleep ya see." They growled out. She shifted, not liking that she was called 'them'. She was she...wasn't she? "When they woke up, they seemed confused. They soon started sobbin', sayin' that they didn't know where or who they were."
A frown soon took over the tall doctor's face. "I see...That does seem troubling." He turned back to look at her. "Did they-"
"She."
Both Monsters paused at her interruption. The skeleton blinked, before giving out a small chuckle in understanding. "Ah, a pretty little lady that we have here today. I am sorry for my mistake." She just gave a nod with a small smile. She was not letting them take this away from her. It was one of the only things she could remember clearly, that she was female. If she couldn't have her name, then she will keep this no matter what. She would fight for it, as it is one of the only things she can cling to as what is true and has been always true to her.
"Did she do anything dangerous?" Gaster asked the yellow one. Yellow unfroze, shaking his head. "Not that I've seen. Our other cousin was watchin' the youngest cousin at the time and heard nothin'." She wondered what they were thinking about, they looked at her like they were confused but yet so focused. "Then it seems like we have to look at the source."
Soon a bony hand was in front of her chest. "I'm going to pull out your SOUL." Seeing her shocked face, he gently soothed the little child's fears. "You will feel a slight tugging sensation, but it should not hurt." He only continued after she nodded. She watched in awe when he moved his hand out, and then with a tug, a soft pink light filled her sight.
In Gaster's hand was her SOUL, a soft pastel pink upside down heart floated in his nonexistence palm. The yellow ghost gasped, making Gaster look to him sharply. "Do you already see something wrong? I have yet to CHECK her SOUL."
"Their-Her SOUL was always a hot pink." Yellow whispered, staring at her SOUL in shock. "I...Why did it change colors?!"
Gaster frowned, making the scares on his face look deeper. Magic swirled, making his eyes glow blue and orange. She watched in shock when a box popped up in front of him. Words swiftly typing themselves down.
HAPPSTABLOOK...?
LV: 1
HP: 100/150
MPP: 000.1/20
AT: 4
DF: 2
EXP: 0
- Has no idea who she is, or where she is right now. Is very confused and worried about what is going to happen to her now.
"This is a problem." Gaster muttered to himself while Yellow floated by his side to see the STATS. She just looked at the both in worry. "Only something important, dangerous, and or something that changes one perspective can change a SOUL'S main trait. Especially one's so young.....At least it seems to be shades lighter and not a entirely different color. And to have their magic so low...Hmmm."
"What about her not rememberin'?!" Yellow growled out. It seems like they were reaching their boiling point.
"Magic is a curious thing, SOULS more so." Gaster straightened, letting her SOUL go back into her chest. Lifting her small nubs to her chest where her SOUL went into, she frowned. 'Could I do that?' Her SOUL was a very pretty color, but yet she didn't want others seeing it. It was her very being, the core to all of her, her SOUL is her very definition right? So shouldn't only her loved ones see it, the ones she trusts above all else, unless the doctor needs to see it obviously.
"She may have tapped into her magic, making her forget in someway." Gaster went on, tapping his chin in thought. "My eldest Son, Sans, has very high magic levels at his age. If he uses it too much, it tires him out. If a child was to use their untrained magic too much, it can cause so many very horrible side effects depending on the type. This could be one of them."
'Sans...' It was official, she was in Undertale. A numb feeling crept up her body, which was ironic now that she was a ghost Monster. She wanted to cry when she realized that she was stuck, it also slapped her in the face when she remembered something from the game. 'Four ghosts. Mad Dummy, Training Dummy, Napstalook....and Mettaton.' Little tears started to gather in her eyes again. 'I took Mettaton's place?! I know I am not as...showy as he was!' There was no way she could pull off his legs.
A yellow nub soon patted her head ruffly, making her glance up. Yellow frowned in concern, their glare softening for a moment. "Hey kid...Ya don't remember, but I'm your older cousin Madstablook." They took in a deep breath. "You're name is Happstablook, and ya live with me, Dumstablook, and you're younger cousin Napstablook. We live on a snail farm together." Here they hesitated, making Gaster speak up.
"She does not remember and may never get them back. She will relearn, and it may seem like she is a entirely new Monster because of this." Gaster wrote something down, before giving it to Madstablook. "If something happens, come immediately. CHECK her SOUL every week for a few months, if any changes in color happen in the SOUL, even a shades difference, come back. If it cracks for whatever reason, come back. If nothing happens, then there is nothing else we can do but let her live her life as normally as possible." Gaster patted her head, making her blink up at him. "It may seem bad, but it is memory loss, not Falling Down. She will gain new memories if she never gets them back for she is young still. It could be worse, she could be a adult and this happen to her, making her loose so much more then just memories. With a loving family that adores her, she will be fine."
And that was that. Not too long after that, they were lead out of the lab for them to go back home. While on the way, Madstablook explained the basics of their family. Happstablook knew she had a lot to think about, and a lot to cry about once she was alone. 'But at the same time...' She glanced up at Madstablook, who was scowling as they carried her back to the farm. 'Why worry about what you don't remember?'
It still didn't make the hurt go away from her SOUL, and she knew it wouldn't leave for a long time. Later she will grieve for the people she no longer knew, no longer remembered, but for now she had a new family to meet and greet.
The farm looked different then what was in the game, bigger and a more normal shaped house. There seemed to be four floors, but she wondered if there was any stairs. Ghost don't need them after all. Phasing through the door - and feeling so off while it happened - she was greeted by a pacing - floating back and forth in a line - Dumstablook, holding a small light blue blob.
"We're back." Madstablook growled out as they sat her down. Dumstablook jolted, before hurrying over to them. Madstablook jerked his head over, making the green ghost nod in agreement. All she could do was blink when she was handed the blue blob, the other two ghost phasing out of the room to talk.
Looking down, she was greeted with a small sad face looking up at her. 'Napstablook....' Giving a loving smile back, she giggled lightly as she held the bundle close. They were a few inches below half her height. "Hello Blooky~" Nuzzling the smaller ghost, she gave out a delighted laugh when Napstablook gave out a teary smile back at her affections. "What a lovely smile!" 'How could anyone hurt this lovely ghost?' Happstablook thought to herself as she sat down on the ground, Napstablook in her hold.
She has no idea if she will remember RESETS or even Gaster after he falls, so she has no idea what will happen then. Hell, she has no idea what will happen after she becomes Mettaton. And she really wants to, for the body alone at the least. She misses wearing clothing, misses the feel of fabric on her skin, walking on two legs and hugging others without the option of phasing through them. Hopefully Alphys will let her make a different design for the non-battle body, that would make her day and year to look more human without shoulder pads and not like a calculator.
Mettaton....He should be here, not her. It worried her that she was here in the first place. What made her be in this situation in the first place? She had so many questions that needed answers, but she had no answers.
Then there is also how time will move. Is the Underground, the Mountain itself, running at a different time then the rest of the world? There was a picture of the first human with the royal family wasn't there in the game? So what did that mean? When did cameras come to be? And surely someone has more determination then a human child above ground while this is all going on, making them remember RESETS as well if the world RESETS with the underground. They are just a child after all, there has to be at least one person with more determination then a child when there are so many humans out there. Or is there something more at play? Then there is how they can RESET, never mind that she will have to FIGHT a murderous child later on. But if there was one thing she can remember from her time above ground, is that if you have to - if there is life on the line - fight dirty. Do not be afraid to show blood if yours and what is yours's life is on the line. The top side isn't a nice place all the time, and some times there are no second chances because you can't afford to make one or give one.
So what will happen when a human child decides to play God? How does a certain SOUL type have more power then others? How does magic play into all this? Are SOULS just magic in a physical form for Monsters because they are closely tied to the more spiritual side of the spectrum unlike with humans who are more on the physical side?
'Magic is fascinating....I wonder what SOULS play into-!' A soft gurgle caught her attention, making her look down sharply. Napstablook was waving their tiny stubs, trying to get her attention, little tears starting to form.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Blooky!" Softly wiping the tears away, Happstablook gave a kiss on their cheek. Making them blink in surprise before a soft giggle left them. "I'll pay more attention to you from now on!"
Unknown to her, the older ghosts came back in, feeling slightly better at seeing Happstablook giving so much affection and playing with Napstablook. It gave them hope that everything would be okay, that their family would not break from Happstablook's memory loss.
-End Chapter-
The color Pink means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness. It is associated with bubble gum, flowers, babies, little girls, cotton candy, and sweetness. It is the universal color of love of oneself and others.
I think the shade of the color of one's SOUL play a big role in what it means. I also think SOULS can change after something changes, how you go about things, or how you even view the world.
In this story, The Original Happstablook had a Hot Pink SOUL, meaning - in this story at least - Passion, Dedication, and Euphoria. Because it is a close color to red - Determination - and white -Hope for Monsters - this makes sense to me.
Main trait is Dedication, minor traits Passion and Euphoria. But that doesn't mean that they can't show more of a minor trait then the main one.
The Vice of the Hot Pink SOUL is Vanity - Passion, euphoria and dedication only for oneself or doing it for others to benefit oneself. For every trait, there is a bad side to it, a vice to every virtue. That doesn't mean they act on it or that they are not a good person if they do, but they can have it and act on it, or even be all about the Vice rather then the Virtue.
For example: Determination - Spite, Patience - Idleness, Integrity - Conceit, Bravery - Audacity, Kindness - Compliance, Perseverance - Inflexibility, Justice - Vengeance. Or at least this is what I think they are, this is all my headcannon for SOULS and is in no way cannon.
My Happstablook has a SOUL that is light pastel pink, a softer shade that is quite a few shades lighter then hot pink. It means - in this story at least - Caring, Compassion, Love.
Main trait is Love - Not L.O.V.E - the Minor traits are Caring and Compassion.
Love, caring, and compassion is what Pink means/symbolizes Spiritually - I figured I would go with that as Happstablook is a ghost for her Soft Pink SOUL - it also means unconditional love and understanding, and is associated with giving and receiving care. Because it is made with the colors red and white, both colors add a little bit to it's characteristics.
But it is more white - Hope - then red - Determination - in the meaning of SOULS, so that plays a part in it as well. Like how Hot Pink is more red then white, that is why Dedication is one of the main virtues in it unlike in Pastel Pink where Love is the main and Dedication is not. But Compassion is a bit like Dedication as Compassion can drive a person, just not as strong as Determination or Dedication.
The Vice for this SOUL is Egoism - where the person with the SOUL is only compassionate, caring, and loving to oneself then others, or doing this to others to benefit oneself.
But don't worry, this Happstablook is not like her Vice. But she can be too loving at times, embarrassing - in a good way, like when your Mom kisses your cheek in front of your friends that you want to look cool in front of - her family.
I would think losing one's memories, and remembering having been a human in a world where everything around her is a game, would make one's SOUL change color. She will be different then Mettaton's personality because of this.
I also believe that you can have more then one color, especially when you get older. What if you are equally brave and determined because of how you grew up? But that may come in later.
Later, when the humans start showing up, it is not going to be in cannon order or even go through all cannon events. In fact, a lot of cannon is not going to happen in this story. So might as well throw that out the window. I will also be making up a lot of magic, magic facts, magic about SOULS and bonds, science mixing with magic, and science in general, so if you don't like that, there are other stories you can go read.
