Opening her ringing phone and putting it to her ear, Pinkie ‘proud of herself’ Pie wondered if Toriel was calling to congratulate her on a victory well fought for. Her Temmie Armor shifted back to its previous skirt based form.
“Hello, orange you glad?” Pinkie queried innocently.
“Orange I’m glad what?” Toriel sounded slightly confused by Pinkie Pie.
“Orange you glad I didn’t start talking about banana’s this time?” The laughter was music to Pinkie’s ears.
“Pinkie, oh my goodness, my side hurts. Please don’t make me laugh!” The lilting laughter of a lovely goat lady could be heard coming from the phone, after Toriel calmed down she sounded a bit pained. Hearing that her goat friend’s hip hurt made Pinkie frown. “Anyway I called you for a reason Pinkie, why did you let Mettaton get away? He was right there!”
“… You know, I honestly forgot that I was supposed to catch him. I guess I got a little distracted by all that baking huh? Also I’m not exactly what you call good at catching things; it’s not a part of my many talents that’s for sure.” Pinkie started toy with her braided mane while she thought of what to say. “Hey at least I have some really good cake for you.”
“I’ll be sure to enjoy it when you get back. I love you, mostly because you’re ridiculous. I found out that if you had come alone, Alphys would have scripted all this business with Mettaton.” A Sigh was heard and after a moment Toriel had a little more to say. “She’s become a lot more honest since Undyne set her foot down. Mettaton is actually doing all this on his own; he seems amiable enough to not attack you outside of his shows though. The monster amalgamates say hello, please stay safe and don’t do anything too dangerous.”
“No Pinkie Pie promises I can’t keep Tori, you know that. I’ll do my best for you though!” As she hung up, Pinkie felt butterflies in her stomach. She said her good-byes to each monster on the wrecked kitchen set, and then she set out after Mettaton. “Now I just got to find my way forward, I wonder what Metal will come up with next.”
Pinkie eventually came across an elevator and found that it would only take her up to the second floor, shrugging she went along with it. The elevator to New Home wasn’t working, but apparently the other elevators were working at Mettaton’s behest. She calmly exited the elevator at the second floor.
“Hey there, I’m Heats Flamesman. Remember my name for later, oh and watch out for explosives.” The humanoid pile of flames named Heats seemed friendly enough for a monster, so Pinkie nodded and was on her way forward.
As she walked forward, Pinkie looked out the corner of her eye and saw that Tsunderplane was still hovering around and happened to blush every time she vaguely looked in her direction. Shaking her head and deciding to ignore the strange monster, she came upon a stand run by an old friend she hadn’t seen in a while. There was also a strange blue bird monster that was likely a harpy; she was eating a strange object on a bun. There was also a Vulkin enjoying the same kind of treat that was awkwardly shoved into the top of his head where it was slowly being dissolved by the monsters lava, it reminded Pinkie of things that Mr. Cake likes to do with Mrs. Cake.
“Hey Sans, it’s been a while since I last saw you.” Moving over to what looked like the guard station from Snowdin transplanted in the Hot Lands; Pinkie looked up at the building and saw that there was still snow on the roof of it. She shrugged, not caring if it didn’t make sense or not that the building had snow in an area that was supposedly really hot.
“Hey, Pinkie, heard you got on Mettaton’s show, heard you’ll see more of him as well. Papyrus jumped out a window because you now have celebrity status in his eyes. So want to buy a hot dog? I’ve got mustard, hot sauce and relish. The ketchup is all for me, though I may be willing to share some with you if you ask.” Sans leaned on the counter smiling as he always did, waiting to see what Pinkie would do. “So are you going to pay me thirty G, so I can introduce you to a nice hot Frank?”
“Sure Sans, but to be frank about a Frank, is it made of meat? I know what Griffons put in their hot dogs and it’s pretty weird. I didn’t even know grasshoppers could be cooked like that or that ponies could stomach eating bugs.” She can eat all the sugar, vegetables and fruit in the world, but Pinkie would never be capable of eating meat. “Also if he’s hot, is he too much so to be out of my league?”
“I’m sure you could take being frank-furter than I would as a joke.” Sans smiled and held out his arms as a rim shot played. “I do have a no meat option here that you might enjoy.”
Pinkie reached into her saddlebags and found some gold sitting around, Gyftrot must have picked up some since almost all of the money was with Toriel. She placed thirty gold on the counter and Sans turned around to start boiling what looked like an average looking hot dog and he eventually forked it out with his bare hand and put it on a bun. Pinkie raised an eye at the sight of him shoving his skeletal arm into the hot dog boiler.
“Don’t worry I’m clean, so much so that a vulture would starve trying to pick me clean again.” Sans set a slightly discolored looking snack food on the counter, he liked making the pony giggle. “What do you want on it?”
“I would like the works!” Pinkie watched as Sans placed a book open book over the hotdog, the title of the book read Macbeth. “I don’t think I can digest that much ink Sans, or whoever this Shake A Spear guy is. So maybe you could take that off and start with some relish.”
“Okay, I enjoyed making this special hot dog for you.” Joking about relishing it just made Sans feel so much more sillier than he usually was. “Do you want me to relish it some more?”
“What about some ketchup?” Pinkie was enjoying Sans’s puns and gags.
“Oh I would like to catch up with you too, but I’m busy at the moment. Maybe later though.” Nothing would break Sans’s stride at this moment.
“I’ll take the mustard and hot sauce then.” Pinkie wanted to see what Sans would say now.
“I guess you don’t want it shaken, so it is a must stirred then. So how hot do you want your hot sauce?” As he said this Sans stirred some mustard in a nearby vat and scooped some of it out onto the odd hot dog.
“Oh I like it spicy.” It appeared to Pinkie that Sans didn’t have much more silly to say as he handed over the completed hot dog to Pinkie. She took a nibble of it and hummed. “Oh this is good! I haven’t had boiled cattail in a long time. Why would you call it a Hot Dog or a Frank, it’s really a Hot Cat. I should know, my sisters enjoy a nice Hot Cat every once in a while.”
-
“I get this funny feeling in my gut every time I eat one of these.” Marble ‘Cheesecake’ Pie looked around warily, before she went back to enjoying her Hot Cat with the fixings.
“Yeah well, keep it to yourself Marble; I want to enjoy my Hot Carrot in peace.” Unlike her sister Limestone was eating a carrot on a bun.
Maud was just eating a rock next to Trixie who was also eating a Hot Carrot.
“Trixie always wonders why phallic food always keeps coming up in every form of civilization Trixie visits.” Shaking her head, Trixie just continued to eat silently in thought and leaned against Maud for comfort.
-
Having moved on after finishing her Hot Cat, Pinkie stopped along the path when a flaming creature hopped towards her and her soul pulled from her body once again for the umpteenth time. Hearing her phone ring, Pinkie pulled it out and opened it. The creature looked like a bouncing torch, with two feet, a flaming head with a crazy smile and a body that only looked like it was made of coiled rope.
“Pyrope, they like partying, heat and explosives. Just have some fun with him and he’ll probably stop flicking explosives at you.” As he read off the information Gyftrot watched as Pinkie was blown back by an explosion on the screen. “Warning: the power of the explosives this monster summons is on the high end scale of things.”
“No kidding, those things are powerful!” A round bomb with a fuse went flying towards Pinkie who scrambled to get away from it before it exploded; she was caught in the edge of the blast and was nearly blown off the second floor by the force of the explosion.
“My mind is on fire, my soul on fire, I’m feeling really hot, super hot, turbo hot!” The monster screamed crazily as it bounced and spun into the air launching another salvo of explosive devices at Pinkie. The round bowling ball shaped bombs with small fuses looked strange, but they were nonetheless effective for looking however odd. “We need a party song, a thumping jam, so I go boom, boom, boom!”
“You think you’re hot stuff, then let’s get all steamy then!” Pinkie started to dance and shake as she got closer to the bouncing explosives spewing torch; all while dodging through explosions and grooving her soul out of the explosion range as best she could. She started to party with the crazy monster and he bounced in place enjoying Pinkie’s hot hooves. She was on fire as she danced, but not literally.
“You got the blood pumping mi amigo; you came to the party knowing what you’ve got! No point in bringing the boom now.” The crazy monster stopped throwing bombs and just danced along with Pinkie for a minute, after releasing his hold on her soul of course. “Know where I can get something hot like you?”
“Sans has a Hot Dog and Cat stand back that way, he also has some good hot sauce. It’s really spicy.” The bouncing monster bowed to Pinkie’s dancing skills.
“I thank you kind senorita!” The monster said before he hopped on his way hooting and hollering wildly.
“That monster sure knows how to party!” That was a friend Pinkie knew she’d eventually be seeing again. Speaking of seeing friends, she could see the Tsunderplane blushing worse now and was still following along behind her. She seemed cold and distant, but Tsunderplane also seemed to be slowly getting closer and closer to her as time passed.
Once again traveling, Pinkie went off the beaten path for a bit and picked up a stained apron with a heart on it. She shrugged and stashed it away in her saddlebags and went back onto the path, she came up to a relatively easy puzzle.
She pulled her shovel into her hooves and looked at the three switches on the way across the conveyor belt to a blue electrical barrier on the other side. It was simple enough for Pinkie to tap the three switches as she passed them and was once again moving forward without any impediment whatsoever.
Seeing that the next area involved a switch puzzle, Pinkie decided to skip the puzzle entirely as she gauged the distance to the other side. She launched herself over to a platform, passing by one entirely in the process. Then she launched the rest of the way with another use of her shovel, Acrobatic shovel based body launching techniques trivialized the whole puzzle for Pinkie.
What came next had made Pinkie pause for a minute, it was another mouse hole. Next to the mouse hole with a hungry squeaking mouse was a safe with the distinct smell of slightly melted cheese coming from the safe. She pulled out her phone and called Toriel.
“Hey Tori, I want to help the mouse, but I don’t know how to open this thing. Do you have any ideas?” If Pinkie didn’t have the solution now, then someone else probably did. She sat down facing away from the safe.
“She could always brute force it!” When it came to ideas, Undyne preferred the violent option and could be heard in what sounded to be the background of Toriel’s phone.
“She could go back and get Pyrope to blow it open.” Of course Gyftrot’s idea was in a similar vein of brute force, but with more friendship and utilization of explosives.
“Maybe this one is impossible Pinkie. Oh right, did I tell you I helped a mouse out in the swamp? We ran by it after you got kidnapped by Temmie’s, doing so caused that mouse to get the cheese that time.” Toriel leaned forward in her wheel chair and she started rubbing at her right horn with a hand. “Why are so many mice having problems getting cheese in the Underworld? I mean it seems to be a bit ridiculous the lengths somebody would have to go to, just to place a hard to get piece of cheese near a mouse hole.”
“Aw, but Tori, it’s my side quest to help every mouse! I mean you obviously got one of them for me, so it’s a bit moot to say I’ve done the quest all on my own, but I still want this mouse to have that cheese.” As she said this something streaked behind Pinkie who was getting sad and an explosion sounded off, turning around Pinkie saw that the safe had been blown open. She looked around and saw that Tsunderplane trying to look even more nonchalant than ever, despite the smoke trail leading right to her. It was obvious that she just blew the safe wide open because Pinkie wanted to help the mouse.
“Thank you for helping me out Miss Tsunderplane!” Pinkie smiled as the plane blushed and even looked bashful as it hovered there in the air.
“I-I didn’t do it for you, you jerk! I did it for the mouse, I don’t have a very bad crush on you if that’s what you’re thinking.” The plane secretly decided that its bombing run was worth the attention she got from the pony.
After helping make sure the mouse gets the cheese, thanks to some help from Tsunderplane who was warming up to Pinkie’s friendly ways, Pinkie set forth to continue her epic journey.
As she walked forward she saw some green constructions beams off the side of the path, before she could turn the corner she heard someone shouting out behind her. Pinkie’s soul pulled from her body and she was accosted by two armored monsters.
“Hold it right there you; me and my bro are so totally going to capture and or kill you!” The first royal guard looked much like the previous two Pinkie saw before, though there was a noticeable differences in the design of the armor from the two Undyne had addressed. “You know, whichever comes first. Sorry we have to do this, but it’s our job.”
-
“Oh it’s those two, never seen that much tension between two guys in my life. Hey deer boy, call Pinkie and tell her those two guys are into each other.” Seeing the stare she was getting, Undyne rolled her eye at Gyftrot. “What, I’m really curious to know what she’ll do with that knowledge. Those two men have been avoiding the truth for a while now and someone needs to give them a good kick in the pants region.”
The truth of the matter was that Undyne was a bleeding heart for romance and usually paired up the guards that asked if they could get assigned with someone special that they wanted to start dating or were just good friends with. She rewarded bravery and assigned the guards to their friends or eventual significant others based on that.
-
A ringing was heard and Pinkie held up a hoof to the two gentlemen who waited for her to finish listening to who was calling her.
“Really, well that’s neat, anything else… the dirt on their armor is there to keep them nice and cool? Okay I can use that.” A smile of devious intent crossed Pinkie’s face as she rubbed two hooves together. The Grinch would have run for the hills at the sight, Pinkie was going to friendship them so hard. “Hi I’m Pinkie Pie, your armor is dirty. Do you mind if I clean it off?”
“Actually me and my bro would prefer it if you didn’t.” The second of the two knights answered before he charged Pinkie in sync with the other one. They started to attack in tandem and tried to keep the pony between them as they slashed and blasted white friendliness pellets all over the place towards Pinkie. The pony dodged the projectiles with grace and she expertly deflected their swords blows meant for her physical body with her shovel.
“I want hugs!” Pinkie yelled as she attached herself to the second guy’s armor and started rubbing her face and body against it.
“Hey stop getting cuddly with Platwoon! I want to do that…” The first knight in black armor stopped and you could almost see the visible blush through the slit in his helmet at his admittance.
“Zuno, did you just seriously… is it hot out here or is it just me. I’m burning up.” The pony having removed enough cooling dirt from his armor, Platwoon started remove his upper torso armor without removing his helmet. His massive scaly muscled chest was covered in sweat and manliness, Zuno just seemed to start gawking blankly.
“Hug time for you too, then I want you two to talk about your feelings!” Pinkie started nuzzling Zuno the same way she did Platwoon; she was definitely going to need a bath after this.
“Hey, get this crazy creature off of me… ugh did things just get hotter around here? It’s too hot; I’m practically burning up in this armor.” Zuno removed his upper torso armor the same way Platwoon had and now it was his friends turn to stare at him. His fluffy rabbit chest was rippling with muscles.
“Now talk about your feelings, you two like each other! Just so you two know, being gay is completely okay. I should know, I’m almost always happy all the time!” Well if that wasn’t a loaded statement, because indeed Pinkie was smiling at the two because she thought the dragon and a rabbit knights would be cute together.
“You see, this is kind of why Threep and Fourlette are having friendship problems, they both had a crush on me. I was too afraid to tell them or you I was gay and it ruined their friendship.” Zuno looked down and sad, even his armored bunny ears wilted.
“Hey it’s okay, want to get some nice cream together? Maybe we can even call those two and help them rebuild the friendship they had.” Platwoon seemed willing to help Zuno make amends. “We can buy some salmon flavored ice cream, they both love that flavor! Also… would you want to start dating?”
“Sure, I would love to! Wait, what about her?” At least Zuno was more on the ball about dealing with Pinkie instead of getting distracted entirely by that manly, manly dragon chest.
“I’m friends with Undyne, here let me get her on the phone! Then you can go get nice cream with your hot boyfriend, in fact the both of you are quite hot. It would help if you cooled off together with friends.” One phone call later and with some time off ordered by the captain herself, the two knights left Pinkie to her quest after she helped to call their two old friends that were a cat and a mantis.
-
Moving along the path, Pinkie was sure she was going to run into another Mettaton moment as the darkened area she walked into lit up, what she came upon was as much as she would expect. In fact it was a sign of just how egotistical Mettaton could get, since he was inside a larger robot of himself that suddenly rose up and faded into existence.
(N64 Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, the Ghost Robot Tsurami boss music starts playing.)
“Say hello beauties, to the Super Sentai Metatton Machine! Be prepared for my Metal Fan Toss!” The large robot slowly rotated and then pulled out two fans and struck a fantastic pose. It even had a ridiculous eye attracting topknot on it that Mettaton himself didn’t have. It was easy to tell who the twenty foot tall robot was being driven by. It threw the two large fans at Pinkie and they turned into glowing discs of death. “You know I was going to do a boring news story, but I figured changing the time slot to something with more action packed was in the works!”
Pinkie pulled back her shovel and swung it as hard as she could sending the two spiraling discs back at Mettaton’s machine knocking it back, but the discs did little to damage it.
“It’ll take more than that to bring me down Mettaton! Wait… am I the villain or the hero in this scene? I can’t really tell.” Even if she and Mettaton were at odds, it would help to get their stories straight for their audience.
“I’m the villain, everybody loves good villain! Especially an overpowered and handsome attractive one like me! Meet my Miniature Mobile Mettaton Style Bombs!” The machine crouched down and a mouth opened up on it launching out several box shaped robots that vaguely resembled Mettaton with blinking twirling red lights on them, except for one really odd looking one.
The robot bombs quickly charged for Pinkie who started trashing each one that came at her with horizontal shovel swipes. She also knocked the resulting pieces away before they could explode next to her.
“Woo, I made it into someone’s fan fiction as a unbelievably awesome crossover character, hi I’m Clap Trap and I’ll be attacking you n…” Clap Trap was launched back at the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine with swift twirling golf swing, where he promptly exploded and was forgotten as having ever punctured the dimensional barriers on this fan fiction. The only notable thing he did was damage The Super Sentai Mettaton Machine slightly and proved to be an ugly looking Mettaton style bomb too.
“Okay time to bring out the big guns, Kabuki Dance Burning Palm Strike!” The machine danced around weirdly on its one wheel in a circle and rotated its upper torso while it held out right palm which started glowing white hot, it charged towards Pinkie leaving a blazing heat trail in its wake as it thrust it forward.
Pinkie stabbed her shovel into the ground and quickly launched herself high into the air just before the palm strike created a crater filled with melted rock where she had been standing.
“Taste my Shovel Rondo!” Pinkie came down slamming her shovel into the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine multiples times with vicious flipping action.
“Strike the earth!” Pulling back her shovel she jammed it home into the right shoulder joint of the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine causing its arm to take some heavy damage and start cracking. She leapt away while striking at the large robots screen and landed on a safe piece of ground. She swiftly reversed her grip on the shovel as the machine lift its left palm towards her, a hole opened up in the palm and a bulbous shape filled it.
“Now taste My Mettaton Massive Megaton Missile!” Finishing his shout, Mettaton launched a large missile out of the raised palm sending it spiraling right for Pinkie who narrowed her eyes; it even left a trail of pictures with Mettaton on them.
“Super Reversing Shovel Slash Flash!” Doing something that was nearly impossible without her cutie mark powers, in a single step Pinkie flashed to behind the robot having seemed to teleport there.
The missile was suddenly flipped around and already impacting with the upper left screen off of the large machine with huge explosion that caused it a lot of damage. The machine even started smoking now and the large screen had an error message for a few seconds.
“Oh no, my beautiful machine of me that’s really impressively built to look exactly like the wonderful Mettaton! You’re ruining it, how did you even do that!” Mettaton couldn’t even figure out what Pinkie had done, but he slowly turned his large machine around to face her. “Your becoming such a nuisance, activate Super Sentai Metatton Machine Melee Masher!”
The machine started glowing brightly and a huge barrel shaped object flew up high into the air and came down extending a long handle into the hands of the machine in a very flashy manner, it was held high in the air and it flashed a rainbow of colors. It was just a really big hammer with flashy special effects.
“Now let’s see if this marauding mare can really handle my mechanical might!” The hammer raised high into the air and then it was brought down on top of Pinkie; it caused a huge explosion and a shockwave.
The pony had quickly planted and spun around her shovel to launch herself sideways and she rode the massive resulting pressure wave spinning through the air with her legs splayed out. Flying like ninja star she flew in a wide arc and then came back and cut through the large robots topknot as she passed it by with her shovel.
“Oh no my robots topknot, what did my beautiful machines appearance ever do to you? How dare you strike at my robots vanity?” That really upset Mettaton and he really sounded it too. The panels that made up the large robots screen opened up to reveal a ton of missiles beneath them; it held the large hammer off to the side in its left hand. “It is time for my ultimate attack, Heat Seeking Massive Mettaton Missile Massacre!”
Unfortunately for Mettaton this attack proved to be more of a detriment to him than Pinkie Pie who was still recovering from her rolling landing that left her near the edge of the battleground that hung high over a vast sea of lava. They were still on the second floor after all and if the fall didn’t kill her, the lava sure would.
Why was Mettaton’s attack such a detriment, you may be asking? Well remember where Mettaton is launching this attack from. In the middle of the hot lands, a heat seeking missile was less likely to hit a colder than everything around her thanks to magic armor Pinkie Pie. In fact the hottest thing in the area was the right hand on the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine at the moment as it was still cooling down.
“Oh no, I miscalculated!” Was the scream Mettaton let off as the entire right arm of his machine was blown off a by a large number of missiles impacting with it. “Super Sentai Mettaton Machine, fight on for great sponsorships and ratings!”
The machine swung the hammed sideways at Pinkie who ducked under the swing; the machine retracted its wheel and lifted off on a jet. It continued its swinging motion to start spinning around, this generated a tornado that threatened to suck Pinkie in and send her flying out in dangerous manner.
“Come on Super Sentai Mettaton Machine! You can do it, I believe in you!” It seemed like Mettaton was just shouting encouragements to his machine now instead of doing any actual piloting. It even seemed to be working.
The machine spun faster and faster trying to suck the pony in and it buffeted her form with tons of loose rocks, she had her shovel jammed into the ground and was trying to hold her position with all her might. She even took a few rocks to the head that really stung quite a bit, she held her position as best she can to not be dragged in.
The damaged Super Sentai Mettaton Machine started to wobble as it spun faster and faster, creating a large vacuum tornado that threatened to tear Pinkie apart as she slowly slid closer to it. Suddenly something in it finally broke and the left arm flew off the machine. It slowed down and started wobbling, the large screen even showed a circle of yellow stars on it.
“Now’s my chance, I’m going to bring his mad machine of destruction and explosives down for good!” Pinkie planted her shovel in the ground and pulled back as hard as she thought the shovel could handle. “This is one of my more devastating techniques, but I’ve got no choice, Super Spear Spade!”
Pinkie turned into a blur of spiraling pink, she went shooting through the air creating a spinning drill as she shot towards the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine with an incredible velocity. As she came up to hitting the screen, it gained three question marks on it as Pinkie hit and slowly started to push against the large screen. The large robots screen started to bend inwards at the force Pinkie was applying to it.
“Fight it Super Sentai Mettaton Machine, fight off her attack for great publicity! Oh no beauties, it looks like I have to eject, the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine can’t handle the stress!” Mettaton quickly ejected out the backside of the machine and ran for it just as Pinkie finally pierced it with a large exploding flash of white light.
(Boss music ends.)
Landing on the ground behind the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine, Pinkie stood up shakily. She was hurting all over; turning around there was a pile of scrap metal that was the exploded shell of Mettaton’s Super Sentai Mettaton Machine.
“Darn it he got away again! That last attack really took a lot out of me.” Holding up her shovel in victory, a victory that was short lived as Pinkie’s pupils shrunk and her eyes started to water. The battle had taken a victim; her shovel fell apart in her hooves. “My… the… it… just fell apart. Just like all the others before it, it… just… fell apart. Shovelllllll!”
Pinkie started to sniffle slightly and then started crying over the remains of a good friend that had helped her through tough times in the Underworld. Her shovel had died from the stress of performing that last attack.
“How am I even supposed to dig a grave for you?” A blubbering Pinkie screamed over the remains of her shovel, she may have won the battle, but she just lost a good friend to the war between her and Mettaton. “Don’t worry shovel; I’ll dig your grave with my bare hooves if I have to! I’ll carry your remains until I can find a good spot for you, you… you deserve the best. I… I’ve always loved you and I always will shovel, you were like a shovel to me. I pushed you too hard; now you’re… you’re all broken up and shattered into pieces. You were one of the best shovels that I’ve ever had! Perfect balance, high tensile flexibility, pogo capable and you even gave me some of the best launches in my life. I’ll miss you…”
-
Toriel sat there with tears in her eyes. Despite the ridiculousness of it, she couldn’t bring herself to laugh about Pinkie’s sorrow at losing her shovel. She also felt some hints of jealously for a shovel of all things. She wasn’t the only one with wet eyes in the laboratory. Even the amalgamates crooned sadly and Alphys even wilted under the sad scene of a mare and her shovel swiftly parted.
-
Stowing away the broken shovel pieces into her saddlebags, she stood up hiccupping and crying over her loss. She looked to the path forward and started walking with her head hung low. She had lost a partner in combat and was now leaving a trail of tears in her wake as she walked away from the bored out husk of the Super Sentai Mettaton Machine, her spoon shaped defense against really bad monsters was now gone.
No monster bothered to attack her because she was giving off a very thick field of bad funk, she was just too sad to attack now. She boarded the next elevator untouched in silence and went up to the third floor; she was still mourning the loss of her beloved shovel. It was a moment of silence until the elevator doors opened and she walked out with none of the pep her friends would recognize her for.
“Will I ever learn to love another shovel? Will I even find one that was as good as you?” As Pinkie asked this she approached what looked like a spider bake sale, but she wasn’t in the mood for a bake sale or helping to teach spiders how to bake for real. “How can things be any worse now? My goat friends injured, I lost my shovel and now I feel lonely. I miss throwing parties at the drop of a hat…”
“Hellooooooo….” The long drawn out greeting was creepy. It came from a six armed girl with the five eyes sitting next to the bake sale behind a counter; she was giving Pinkie a rather sadistic looking fanged smile. It was the kind of smile you see on a cat before they do something mean spirited. Her raven hair was pulled up into two pigtails held up by two red ribbons and she was wearing a neat red outfit with a large bow over her chest and pantaloons with long boots that extended right up into them. “Welcome to our parlor dear customer. Are you interested in some of our spider pastries? All proceeds go to real spiders!”
“I’m not really interested at the moment, excuse me.” Pinkie continued to walk on by feeling downtrodden; as such she missed the malicious smile coming from the strange monster that just spoke to her.
-
“Why have we suddenly just lost contact with Pinkie?” Toriel started to panic slightly and even Alphys was a little spooked that the video feed watching Pinkie cut out as soon as she reached the third floor. Something was obviously wrong here and just after Pinkie lost her means of self defense.
