Chapter 9: Plenty of Spears

"...while both monsters and ponies contained and could manipulate 'magic' though only a select few of these ponies could possesses such a trait and they were known as Unicorns. Despite their similarities, the ponies attacked suddenly and without mercy.'

"In the end, it could hardly be called a war. United, the ponies were too powerful, and us monsters, too weak. Not a single soul was taken and countless monsters were turned to dust,"

A long path of boardwalk awaited Twilight when her head turned right. A familiar feeling of terror crept up her spine when he entered the purple labyrinth.

OoO

Twilight's foot landed in a neon blue circle, she stepped back and more circles surrounded her. Several spears sprung from the circles nearly killing Twilight on the spot. 'Undyne's back!' Fueled by a sudden surge of adrenaline, Twilight ran away as fast as she could.

Twilight saw a gap ahead of her. 'Here I go!'

"..."

"THERE YOU ARE!" Undyne threw spears left and right, oddly enough, they emitted empty clanks. 'I couldn't of missed, I threw like a million spears.' Undyne's neck suddenly snapped forward and she struggled to stay balanced.

"Sweet move, huh," Twilight said as she landed on the bottom boardwalk.

"Yeah, rig—wait she's gone....not for long!"

Twilight teleported back to the top boardwalk. 'This should trick her, she'll still think I'm on the bottom and won't attack at the top.' Twilight soundly flew past the narrow strips of boardwalk, she skidded to a stop. "Looks like I'm almost out of this place, all there's left is this big area, should be easy."

*SMASH

Splintered pieces of wood scattered at her hooves. "What is..." She turned, unlike the last time, Undyne's spears tore straight through the boardwalk, her spears cut as if it were knife to butter againt the dense pieces of wood.

Twilight ran for her life as the spears engulfed the boardwalks. She barely dodged an incoming spear falling from above her.

Then it ended.

Twilight couldn't go any further, she gazed at the black chasm. "My only options are to fight and risk dying or to jump and risk...not trying at all." The immediate clanks of metal gave him his answer.

"This is the end for you, horse." Undyne hissed.

Before Twilight could argue, the boardwalk cut in half and he fell.

OoO

'It sounds like it came from over here...oh! You've fallen down, haven't you...'

'Are you okay? Here, get up...'

'...Chara, huh? That's a nice name.'

'My name is-'

'...'

OoO

Twilight awoke with a startle. "...! Am I...am I still alive?!" She felt the ground beneath him was nothing but a bed of golden flowers. "I-I started over?! Tor-wait," Her snout wrinkled. "What's the awful smell?"

She fell off the flowers and her his chagrin landed in water that reached her neck. A piece of garbage floated past her while she trampled through the thick waters. "Please don't tell me.." Her eyes landed on a floating heap of garbage. "Great." A dummy caught her attention next.

"You look like the dummy Toriel made me talk to in the Ruins." She shook her head and Naruto brushed past the dummy, not expecting it to appear in front of her. "I SURE AM NOT YOU FLY, that was my cousin and they used to live inside a dummy too until...YOU CAME ALONG! When you talked to them, they thought they were in for a nice chat...But th-"

In mid-sentence Twilight froze the dummy and continued forward. 'None of that!'

"Hey, please wait!"

She turned. "Napstablook!"

"Hi...that's all I wanted to see really...I'm going to head back home now...uh...feel free to 'come with' if you want. No pressure or anything. I understand if you're busy, it's fine. No worries, just thought I'd offered it y'know..." Twilight followed Napstablook to a quiet area divided off by tall walls. "By the way, my house's ahead...just in case...you wanted to do the 'mingling'."

OoO

"...You came after all. Wow, that was unexpected...well, it's not much as you can see, but make yourself at home."

Napstablook's house was somewhat an extension of himself. The small, single-room house was wrapped in a plain shade of brown that fittingly complemented the exhausted furniture.

His fridge leaned on the wall with a paint job that screamed withered plant. Twilight opened it. "...There's a ghost sandwich in there...but I'm afraid you can't...um...eat it." Napstablook explained.

"I figured as much." An old TV slanted on the fridge, which Napstablook also jumped in to explain. "And that's my TV, I watch a show on it...sometimes. There might be something on right now if you're interested."

Twilight pressed the button, flickering a bit before it settled on some kind of news channel. Napastblook left his computer and floated next to Twilight. "Met...he, never really has anything to report, so he usually just fills the time slot by talking about how cool he is or something about his legs."

[Mettaton] OHHHHHH YESSS! Good evening, beauties and gentlebeauties! This is Mettaton, reporting l-ive from MTT news! Now I usually till I'm the time slot by talking about how cool I am or something about my legs, but not today! As you all know, the horse lurking in our underground is incredibly dangerous and should be taken care of immediately, but recent reports from, um...turn the camera Alphys,

"WHAT THE HECK?!" Twilight nearly choked when an image of Mad dummy came into focus. "How did he break my spell so fast?!" She looked to Napstablook for reasoning who lazily shook his head in response.

[Mettaton] Anyways, Fad dummy,

[Fad dummy] Mad dummy.

[Mettaton] Right, right that's what I said, Mad honey. So, tell the viewers of what you saw.

[Mad Honey?] The horse used some kind of voodoo black magic on me, but fortunately it was some weak ass magic so I was able to get out pretty quickly.

[Mettaton] Interesting, interesting

[Mad Honey?] Purple horse, if you are watching this, I'm totally going to be beat you up!

[Mettaton] You heard it folks! Now back to your regularly scheduled leg appreciation program.

"Interesting news—"

"Thank you for inviting me, this place is pretty nice," Twilight got herself up. "But I have to try a different time stop spell on him, wherever he is..."

"The MTT news station is in Hotland, it's actually not too far from here, it's just past this weird mountain place,"

"Hotland? I'm guessing I'll be in some kind of desert." Twilight left Napstablook's house, completely ignoring the glamorous pink house adjacent to her and went south.

Down the hall was a small shop and the reoccurring treasure chest Twilight never bothered with. 'I sell weapons, armor, items and knowledge. Don't have money for it.'
