As Woona made her way north into Hotland, she came across a split in the path. Both went further north, but each was a conveyor belt, one going north, one going south. As she took the one heading north, she entered a FIGHT with a monster that looked like a tiny volcano with a happy face. The text above its head by its HP named it a Vulkin.
It wants a hug, Chara told her, knowing how much she liked to hug monsters.
"Hugs!" Woona proclaimed happily, hugging the Vulkin. The embrace warmed her heart, and the Chilled Apron protected her from any harm hugging an active volcano would cause.
"So...LOVEY!" the Vulkin proclaimed happily, spraying magic fire around. Woona allowed the Chilled Apron to block the vast majority of the energy, barely taking any damage at all, which was quickly restored by the Apron. The FIGHT lines dissolved, and the Vulkin went on about its way, leaving 40 gold behind, which Woona happily pocketed.
Another set of conveyor belts lied to the north, these twisting and turning, but still going only north to the next platform and south back from it. Woona crossed without incident. Further north, strange steam blowing panels with arrows on them awaited. "Hmm..." Woona muttered as she stepped onto it, only to be propelled into the air. "WAH!" she screamed out, flying incredibly high due to her low body weight and her wings and apron catching extra lift from the steam vent.
A passing Tsunderplane saw her conundrum, and swooped in to catch her, depositing her further north. "I didn't help you because I like you or anything," the Tsunderplane proclaimed, turning away with a huff.
Woona suppressed her giggles as she sat close to Tsunderplane, but not too close. "Thank you," she said with a smile. "I really didn't want to land in the lava..."
Tsunderplane blushed as she looked away. "Well...I-I'm not about to let that happen..." She then twitched. "But don't make a habit of needing my help, b-baka no kouma!" With that, Tsunderplane flew away, leaving 60 gold behind. Despite it not having been a FIGHT, Woona was happy for that sign of friendship.
Further north, Woona found her path blocked by an orange laser. "Orange?" she spoke up, confused. "I haven't encountered orange magic before...what does it mean?" At that moment, her phone rang, and she picked it up. "Hello?"
"H-hey, Woona," Alphys said nervously.
"Alphys!" Woona squealed happily. "What do orange lasers mean?"
"O-orange is the, uh, the oppo...uh..." Alphys continued to stammer.
"Alphys, breathe," Woona replied quickly.
Alphys took a few deep breaths. "Oh...I'm terrible on the p-phone..." she stammered.
Woona thought for a time. "Hmm...is there a time you don't have any issues speaking whatsoever?" she asked curiously. "I noticed you had trouble speaking face to face, too..."
"W-well...I'm less nervous if I'm all alone...like at the garbage dump..." she replied.
Woona grinned widely. "Pretend you're talking to Glad Dummy!" she offered happily. "He doesn't judge, and is always happy to see you!"
"But he knows that orange lasers are the opposite of blue!" Alphys countered. "Why would I need to tell him that?"
Woona said nothing, letting Alphys realize what just happened.
"...huh," Alphys stated thoughtfully. "I...I actually did it..."
"That's wonderful, Alphys!" Woona applauded, clopping her hooves against the ground. "I knew I could count on you!" She blinked as she got a dial tone in response. "Uh..."
Your praise left her too embarrassed, Chara explained.
"Oops..." Shrugging, Woona walked through the orange laser, making sure not to stop moving. A blue laser moved back and forth between orange lasers, and Woona made sure not to move as it passed over her. Seeing a switch beyond the lasers, she threw it, turning the lasers off.
As Woona continued on, she encountered a three way path split. Her phone rang again. "A-Alphys here," Alphys stammered. "The northern door...it won't open until you've solved the puzzles to either side. To solve them, you need to shoot a target after rearranging blocks so you can hit it. You get two shots, one for a block, one for the target."
"Sounds fun!" Woona replied. She paused as she stared at the steam vents. "...this isn't going to be, though..." Swallowing, she stepped on the vent, propelling herself far to the right.
The east puzzle was solved relatively easily, and Woona then made her way west...only to find her path blocked by a blue laser. She then received a text.
Alphys: Don't worry! I can hack this laser and shut it off! A simple task for the Royal Scientist!
The laser shut itself off. Smiling, Woona sent a reply text.
Super Moon: Thanks, Doc!
The second puzzle was more complex in appearance, but after looking at it for a time, Woona was able to see the solution.
Then came the problem. The steam vent would launch her too far to land on the center platform, so she didn't have an easy way to make it past. She stared at the narrow gap, trying to determine how best to cross it, only to feel a tug on her apron. Turning, she saw Chara pulling out the bone Sans had given her.
It's long enough to lay across the gap when it's out of the pouch, he explained. You can use it as a bridge here.
Smiling, Woona positioned the bone in place, walking across carefully. She noticed the bone starting to become brittle. Can't do that too many times, she murmured in her mind. The heat's not good for it...
A steam vent path led east, three vents obviously designed to perfectly launch someone of greater weight perfectly onto each one. Stepping onto the first, she yelped as she was launched high enough that the steam from the successive vents propelled her all the way to the other side, where she landed on a colorful green and white tiled floor. "...this looks like kitchen tile," she muttered as she got her bearings.
You'd best get ready, Chara warned her. I have a feeling something's going to happen here.
Nodding, Woona put her hoof to the SOULSTONE around her neck, filling herself with DETERMINATION.
Woona continues to be cute while I keep wondering what atrocities Flowey and Chara are planning.
Ya know, despite Chara being nice, I can't help but feel he's gonna backstab woona some how.
Woona's Cuteness fills you with DETERMINATION
7108185 Some people don't know this, but YOU are the reason Chara is genocidal maniac. You determination revived them, and coupled with your strength giving you a determination boost, they saw power, and by extension murder, as the purpose of their revival.
I know what's gonna happen next.
I want to see Woona do this in the next chapter:
i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/037/303/4d6.png
Hmm... if I didn't know any better, Chara might have actually vented quite a bit this time around.
Probably a good thing that Woona didn't... feel the burn eh?
Guess this area wasn't quite a... flight of fancy for her.
I guess it was... Plane obvious that her broadcast before was well received.
Serious question though, I thought in the previous chapter it was sans that gave Woona the bone?
7108304
Faulty memory on my part there. Thanks for catching it.
Woona should just pick up the can with her magic.
7108333 That... would not be nearly dramatic or entertaining enough.
Perhaps Woona needs to remind the audience that the food is prepared ahead of time and go swimming in cake.
And of course she can always pull some pastries from her saddlebags. If I remember right, it's been mentioned she's stocked up on provisions from both Toriel's cooking and the Spider Bake sale.
7108455 but mettaton's reaction would be funny.
7108457 Ehhhhh, true... there is the possibility of that.
Another enjoyable chapter. Good work.
Oh, I know what's gonna happen next. It's probably going to involve Alphys's upgraded phone and Woona dealing with that robot again.
7108304 Maybe it was given to her by someone ... Too hot to handle.
Well, Wonna is really light isn't she?

7108245 No. Chara was always a genocidal maniac. They've always hated humanity, and always hated the Monsters. They possess Frisk's soul to continue their rampage. It's certainly possible Frisk's DETERMINATION attracted them, but Frisk (and by extension, the player) has nothing to do with Chara's homicidal nature.
7108705
You are incorrect.
Chara hating humanity? Undisputed canon.
Chara hating Monsters? Very questionable, and not supported by anything anywhere in the game (except when he goes to kill Flowey, which is after he's killed literally everything else).
What you're arguing is a heavily unsupported headcanon. While it's true Chara is a demon of destruction that seeks to erase the world at the end of the Genocide timeline, there is no evidence anywhere to suggest he is such in any other timeline, save post-Genocide timelines.
This is adorable, hahahaha!
Nicely done man, nicely done!
7108734 Given Frisk's true pacifist nature (as a Pacifist run is where Frisk completely resists Chara), it seems extraordinarily off to say that they created Chara's hate. Chara constantly encourages Frisk to keep attacking monsters. While Chara may not outright say they hate monsters, the Genocide route text supports it. Once Frisk starts going Chara's way, the save points are just Chara telling Frisk how many monsters left to kill. They see Monster Kid as just "Easy EXP". Killing Flowey was an act of betrayal, just because they could. While else would Chara encourage and force an innocent soul like Frisk to destroy everything if not for pure hatred?
7108759
That is from fanmade material, not the game itself.
Nowhere in the game does Chara encourage Frisk to kill. The save point bit is Chara having made the choice to follow that path, since it's the path he's been awakened to.
what if mettaton fell down the stairs
7108705 Yes, but aside from Chara (technically) do yous SEE any humans in the underground?
7108864 Chara tells you outright after killing Flowey that they hate humanity. Also, Humans have no reason to be in the Underground.
Huh, I was JUST finished reading the latest update of Under Tail on fanfiction.net before getting here. Interesting coincidence.
Easy there, Weiss- I mean Akane- I mean Naru- I mean Misty- I mean Asuka- I mean Louise- I mean Noire- I mean-
It's always best to be politically correct.
Anyways, see you... oh, and for those of you who are curious, I wouldn't advise looking up Under Tail... not for the faint of heart / not into lemon-centric stories with gijinkas in them. It's pretty funny though, that is until the latter halves of the cha-
ANYWAYS, see ya.
damn ran of of chapters
Cooking show! Cooking show! Cooking show!
Cook show was first if i remeber correctly.
Awesome chapter, chara is slowly being purified, for friendship powers.
7108297 "HECK YEAH"

question, where did she get the soulstone?
7111349
In the chapter "Growing Problems", when it was called the 'Mysterious Torc'.
It was identified in "History on the Edge of the Abyss".
7111421 k
7111032 sorry, I meant to say the older episodes of the first season.
not a lot of people remember seeing that, at least in my community.
7108734 IIRC, Chara was always a genocidal maniac. I don't remember where exactly I heard it, but it was confirmed somewhere that Chara poisoned Asgore with the flowers that are everywhere. They're poisonous when ingested, and he put them into Asgore's tea to try and kill him. However, because he was a BOSS monster, it only made him really ill.
7112868
Actually, the game only states that he 'accidentally' put buttercups in the pie instead of cups of butter and 'laughed it off'.
His motives for doing so are never stated in game. It could be deliberate, or it could be an accident that Chara laughed off because he didn't want to face nearly killing his adoptive father...or because he saw it as a way to give Asriel his soul so they could pass through the barrier and collect the souls needed to break it.
7113549 I honestly hear a lot more theories of Chara being a murderous psycopath compared to him just being influenced at some point. Granted, they're theories, but they do use in game facts and canon to support them. So... it's a toss up I suppose.
7114435
There are only enough in-game facts to give a basic idea. Everything else is left up to interpretation.
So, I'm not great with Japanese, but "sukoshi" doesn't seem like the right word. "Sukoshi" is an adverb meaning "a little bit/few".
I think it would make more since to use "chiisana", meaning "small/little/tiny". Or you could just replace "sukoshi uma" with "kouma", the word for pony.
7114922
Google translate did not give me Kouma. Thanks for that.
Mettaton appears in 3... 2... 1...
7114922 I'm having a hard time using Google Translate. All I got (that I already know) is baka. Stupid/Dumb/Fool is the meaning.
...wait. Woona is cooking.
R.I.P. Undyne House.
R.I.P. MTT's Kitchen
R.I.P. Mettaton.
7116340
"baka" = idiot/dumb/stupid; "kouma" = pony
"no" is a bit harder to explain, it's what's referred to as a particle, which is basically a small word that tells various things about sentence structure and such
If you were just using "baka" as an adjective, you would add "na" after it, since "baka" is a "keiyoudoushi", or "na-adjective"
By using "no", you're nominalizing (making into a noun) "baka" and connecting it to "kouma"
Basically:
baka na kouma = stupid pony (putting more emphasis on pony)
baka no kouma = idiot that is a pony (putting more emphasis on idiot)
In English, both ways would probably be translated as "stupid pony", but there is a slight difference between the two that just doesn't translate very well; in this instance, I think using "no" was the better choice.
NOTE: I am very much an amateur at Japanese, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. It is VERY possible that I'm completely wrong, in which case, "gomen nasai" (I'm sorry)
Eeeeeeeehooooo!
Glad to see it still going!
7117035 Well, you can't get worse than me. ...or should I word it as "You are an expert compared to me." Either way, it seems whatever lesson you have is paying off.
7117186 Con-Temmie-Nated*
I'd still trust Alphys more than the OTHER Medic that I know of...
(Was that a TF2 reference? Or am I just looking too deep into it and it was just Woona/Chara saying thanks in a casual way? I don't recall Alphys being a doctor anyway...)
