To the north of the bomb field, Woona found an elevator marked 'L2'. Stepping inside, she levitated herself up to push the Left Three button. As the elevator moved, Chara decided to speak up.
You're being rather quiet, he mentioned. Something worrying you?
"I've been on TV," Woona explained. "What if...what if Daddy was watching? What if Mommy was watching?"
You're worried how Dad will react to you?
"No," Woona replied. "I'm worried how he'll react to you." Feeling Chara's stunned silence, she continued. "He's a Boss Monster. If Mettaton can detect human traits in my soul, then Daddy should be able to sense you, too, or have some other way of knowing you're there. I...I don't know what's going to happen."
...I don't think you need to worry so much, Chara offered comfortingly. It might get really emotional, but I don't think anything bad will come of it.
As Woona stepped out of the elevator onto a much more mechanical floor, she silently raised something she'd notice. You seem different, Chara, she offered. When I first met you, you were really scary...and really angry.
My anger was directed at humans, Chara answered readily. There aren't any more. When you welcomed me into your soul, I thought I could just take you over...but your soul was too strong. And...the gentle purity of that powerful soul has leached away the anger that had consumed my soulless essence. ...being with you reminds me of what it was like to be with Mom...Dad...Asriel... A thoughtful silence descended in Woona's mind for a time. The other fallen humans...I had no thought for them beyond anger, and wanting to twist them into the real monsters of the underground, and gain the power to destroy humanity above. But you...you're my sister. Chara seemed stunned by his own admission. You're...my sister...
Woona smiled, focusing her magic inward and managing to hug Chara. I love you too, Big Brother! she told him happily.
Chara said nothing in reply, just letting the warmth fill him. Gazing at his astral image, he saw that the shadows he had been made of before were almost totally gone. Instead, only a silvery glow anchored itself in Woona's blue, black, and white soul.
Woona paused in her steps, staring at what looked like a smashed food stall. "W...what happened here?" she asked, worried and confused.
I don't know, Chara muttered worriedly. Maybe you should ask that monster over there.
Nodding, Woona walked up to the green skinned monster dressed in yellow. "Umm...do you know what happened here?"
"She...she just smashed her stand," he muttered, staring. "She'd been worried about something for a while...and then she got a call...and she smashed everything! Then she stormed off, enraged. I don't know what's going on anymore..."
...someone's playing games... Chara murmured. Let's keep going, but be careful...
Accepting Chara's advice, Woona moved forward, trying not to stare at the shredded spider webs she passed.
When she entered the next room, she saw more steam vents running each and every way. She sat down hard. "You're kidding me..." she grumbled. When her phone rang, she picked it up. "Alphys, please tell me you can hack the steam vents and turn them into bridges or something? Otherwise, I'll never get across!"
"Umm..." Alphys replied. Woona could hear some rapid tapping. "I have an idea. Push the jetpack button on your phone."
"But...it's out of fuel," Woona pointed out logically.
"True," Alphys agreed, "but if the new program I sent works right, it should be able to refuel from the steam vents now."
Gasping, Woona pushed the button, getting out the jetpack. Stepping onto the steam vent, the steam was sucked into the jetpack to set her afloat instead of propelling her an insane distance forward. "You're the best, Alphys!" Woona squealed happily.
Alphys chuckled nervously at the other end of the line. "W-well, I do what I can. There's puzzles to the north and south you'll need to solve to continue east."
"Will do!" Woona replied happily, jetting over to the north side first. The puzzle was the same as the ones before, though she only had one shot this time. With careful plotting, she managed to solve it. She then took the steam-powered jet-phone to the south. The path to the puzzle room there involved conveyor belts and blue lasers, which she was careful to maneuver around. As she approached the puzzle room, she received another call from Alphys.
"Say...would you like to watch a human TV show with me some time?" she asked. "It's called...Mew Mew Kissy Cutie..."
"It sounds adorable!" Woona squealed. "I'd love to!"
"Really?" Alphys gasped happily. "It's so good, it's one of my favorites! It's about this human girl named Mew Mew who has cat ears-"
"Is that normal for humans?" Woona asked, confused.
"No, it's not," Alphys explained. "So she's all sensitive about them."
"Aww...poor Mew Mew..." Woona smiled widely. "Looking forward to seeing it all! But for now, I need to keep going. ...something scary is going on out here..."
"I'll keep an eye on you from here!" Alphys insisted. "Don't worry too much!"
With the southern puzzle solved, Woona made her way back to the steam vent room to make her way east. She soon found a place that seemed covered in spider webs. "This must be where the spiders live!" she squealed happily, reaching into her saddlebags to pull out the pouch with the spiders in it, racing ahead.
Woona, watch out! Chara called out in warning.
As Woona stepped through the door, spiderweb shot out, binding her against the wall as angry hissing filled the room. "Uh oh..." she squeaked out as she lost hold of the spider pouch.
Fucking cliffhangers.
The spider dance is upon us....
Ahuhuhuhu can't wait darling~
So next part will be Woona dealing Muffet, right? Oh boy. This is gonna be interesting.
Uh-oh...no determination. That's how you know she's in trouble.
Uhuhu! This will be great!
Hope woona's ready because things are going to get. . . Sticky Ahuhuhuhu.
Will, looks like... the cat's out of the bag.
Man, talk about a ... sticky situation.
Oh man, Woona is... all tied up.
Will she save the spiders, if you want the answer... stay tuned.
....Oh brother... talk about being ... stringed along.
Hah, I sent in the first puns, hope you don't get too ... steamed about it.
Oh god no....
Please don't tell me that there's going to be a 'misunderstanding' arc in the next chapter.
Now, I know that there is in fact a whole misunderstanding thing in the original game. And I tolerated it because the music mostly cheered me up.
But when a character knows something's wrong/done something right and nobody takes it seriously
EVEN THOUGH IT'S F#%KING OBVIOUS!!! GOD I HATED THAT IN CANTERLOT WEDDINGand it's just a....misunderstanding...God I hate that Sh!t. More than I hate the 'liar relived' arc. Please for the love of Celestia don't make it unbearable.
My ranting is done. Btw love the Chara redemption part, so cute!
welp, prepare for major misunderstandings! *puts on a army helmet*
7150899 In the game if you held on to the Spider Cider or Spider Donut up to that point Muffet will scan your inventory and seeing you helping her fellow spiders she will let you off scot free, the entire battle is skipped.
I think Woona will be okay.
And now... Woona will perform the dance of the spider
7151124
She doesn't scan your inventory. You have to use the item in battle.
Oooh... awwwwww!
Gasp! ^_^ Awwwww! Yes! I'm feeling all warm inside now, too. Thanks just for that, Tatsurou!
7151051 Looks like our next fight won't be... stalled.
Let's see how Woona manages to... spin this conversation around.
At least she isn't... fuming over the puzzles this time.
Looks like the puzzles aren't making her... Journey to the West.
2 4 6 8, I think it's time for a date...
Another enjoyable chapter. Good work.
... How do you come to that conclusion? I mean, outside of being the STRONGest of the STRONG, their souls being able to last slightly longer than other monsters', and not being able to age beyond middle aged when they don't have any children to subconsciously impart soul energy to, there isn't really anything that confirms it (unless you're doing the whole "imparting upon us a selection of lore mixed with the canon" or something like that). Besides, Mettaton was most likely able to come to that conclusion because Alphys has super sciency stuff (even the joke it's based on pretty much confirms it). So allow me to be Chara and say-
YEAH, that's what's UP!!!
And then he does a Tin Man impression.
... So I'm guessing Pyrope isn't making an appearance, then? Oh well, I guess I can live without seeing a reference to that troll who's almost like the Homestuck version of Sans. At least you've got character development and all that good stuff. See you later.
Aw come on! Do you have to put a cliffhanger when things were getting good!?!
7151313
Upvoted just for that Chara/Tin Man lyrical parody. Any chance you could do the whole song?
PLOT TWIST

7151460 Sure, as long as Pyrope makes an appearance... oh please, you know I'd do it anyways.
There.
7151548
Thanks so much!
Hmm...I think I can actually make use of that, if that's alright.
7151553 Of course it is. If you want, you can even have Flowey duet.
Oh shit! I guess someone told Miss Muffet that Luna took all the spiders with her, and Miss Muffet misunderstood... Cue the best Music in the game!
7151616
Now IMHO Spider dance isn't THE BEST music, but it's pretty dang high.
But the lyric adaptation...
God I love that song. Cause it's actually a song!
7151134 ..........Eh, tomato tamato.
Looks like things are about to get a little... steamy.
Hope Woona can get out of this rather... sticky situation.
I foresee that this fight might be a little... uh... fighty...
Yeah that's all I got.
Nice chapter Tat!
7152036 Woona needs to get a leg up on Muffet.
Muffet is about to go black widow on Woona.
....yeah I'm out too.
The cliffhanger is horrible, but the chapter is pretty great. I really enjoyed this one.
7152151
We did our best, we did our best.

You can't use mobile YouTube URL's.
Also that URL does not lead to a video.
Mother Muffet is mad, maybe she should go and sit with her Tuffet.
7151088
Misunderstanding in the game? Are you talking about Muffet mistaking you for someone else and so attacks you, or something else entirely? I've only done two playthroughs so far.
Let's hope he never discovers the mirror that goes to the EG universe, then.
Oh no, Muffet thinks she killed every single spider in the ruins. That's not gonna end well.
WELL, SH*T.
I BLAME TAKUMI. //shot

7152255 It... It leads to a video. Gooseworks' Spider Dance cover...
To everyone who thinks this will be a legit boss battle (there were too many, I'm lazy to tag everyone): knowing Woona, she'll just let all the spiders out and the problem will be solved a few attacks in.
I really hope Chara and Woona continue to vent out there problems.
Chara's really seeing the silver lining in life now.
My work here is done. *Throws hands in the air and walks out the door.*
Angry spider mommy!
I feel like an idiot, I accidentally unfavorited this story and I couldent understand why it wasent updating.
p.s. can someone explane why I randomly wont get update notifacations in the favorites tab?
7152216 Well, we tried hard ENOUGH. I don't think we did our absolute best though.
....Jeez, I'm to tired to think up any more puns right now.
7154769
Next time, we'll get some better puns
hehehe
NOOOO SOOO CLOOOSSE!!
Time to dance, Woona!
I'm surprised nobody did this.
*The Spider Dance intensifies causing ear-rape*
Sorry but this is the best i could find.
7153926
Oh. It works now.
That part with Chara was just so sweet!
Also that ending. No determination! Oh noes!
I guess muffet is a little pissed??
