Uber's Hard Mode Part 6

we open in a peculiarly laid out room of the RUINS. it's an open room for the most part, but two thin walls come down into the middle of the room, leaving only a smaller gap to travel through with a pile of leaves across the gap. FRISK and CHARA enter the room, noting the layout and spotting a lone figure blocking the pathway though the gap in the walls, a translucent figure with no arms and legs, to all appearances, a cartoon ghost. FRISK: "Well, here's Napstablook. should we just get this over with?" CHARA: "Probably, the save point is right behind us, we can afford to jump in." FRISK: they throw a glare at Chara "It's not exactly pleasant to die you know." CHARA: They go pale, and look away with a mixture of shame and painful recollection. FRISK: They wince "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ask-" CHARA: "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking abou-" Both of them stop talking and stare at each other, simultaneously giving forgiveness in complete silence. FRISK: "I'll just go to the ghost now." Frisk stands right in front of the spirit laying on the ground.

NAPSTABLOOK: "zzzzzzzzz... zzzzz.... (they're talking to themselves) zzzzzzz... zzzzz.... (are they gone yet) zzzz.... CHARA: "This ghost keeps saying 'z' out loud repeatedly, pretending to sleep... ... move it with force?" FRISK: They do what Chara suggested and try to shove the ghost out of the way, the moment they do that, Napstablook floats up and opens their eyes, the color drains away and a FIGHT begins. CHARA: *Here comes Napstablook. Same as usual. FRISK: They go into the ACT menu and see that the options are the same as normal, they tentatively select Check in order to gather more information, when they do this, Chara bursts out laughing. Frisk appears confused, until Chara speaks. CHARA: *Napstablook, AT 10 DF 10. Missed the memo and is the same difficulty as normal. FRISK: "Ok, that's funny."

NAPSTABLOOK: "oh, i'm REAL funny." FRISK: After speaking, the ghost begins to cry, and large tears start spraying around, Frisk dodges them easily because compared to the rest of what they've dealt with in the Ruins this time around, an attack like this is practically a breather. CHARA: *Napstablook is wishing they weren't here. FRISK: They've done this many times before, selecting ACT and then Cheer. CHARA: *You gave Napstablook a patient smile. NAPSTABLOOK: "heh..." after this, Napstablook starts crying again, but their tears don't act as an attack, instead, they bend and shift into a set of words, 'REALLY NOT FEELIN UP TO IT RIGHT NOW. SORRY.' CHARA: *Napstablook looks just a little bit better. FRISK: They repeat the same actions as before, choosing to Cheer on Napstablook. CHARA: *you told Napstablook a little joke.

FRISK: "Why did the ghost go into the elevator? ... ... ... To lift their spirits!" NAPSTABLOOK: "heh heh..." Yet another bout of crying, this time, the tears snake around the room erratically until they slide around the roof of the room and rain down on Frisk, this one is a lot trickier then the other attack, but Frisk still dodges it, just with significantly less ease then the last. CHARA: *Cheering seems to have improved Napstablook's mood again. FRISK: Second verse, same as the-wait, this is the third time. eh, either way, Frisk cheers once more. CHARA: *Napstablook wants to show you something. NAPSTABLOOK: "Let me try..." Chara's right, of course. Napstablook starts crying, but the tears flow upward and form into a shape, not letters this time, but rather a very fancy top hat. "I call it, "Dapper Blook." Do you like it...?" No attack comes after this. CHARA: *Napstablook eagerly awaits your response.

FRISK: They hover over the cheer option again, before swapping to flirt for kicks and giggles. "A gentleman like you could court me any day." Chara struggles to hold back laughter after that. NAPSTABLOOK: "oh no..." The colors return to the room as the fight ends. "i usually come out of the ruins because there's nobody around. ... ... ... oh, i'm rambling again. i'll get out of your way." And with that, Napstablook floats off. FRISK: "Well that was a nice breather." CHARA: "Yeah, I doubt that trend will continue though. let's go to the room behind us and save before continuing." FRISK: "Agreed." Frisk does as Chara suggested, and then ventures into the section beyond the Blooks battleground. the room is smaller and empty other then a single sign and two large spider webs. Frisk takes a look at the sign, noticing something extra on it this time around. CHARA: *Spider Bake Sale. all Proceeds go to Real Spiders. something's scratched into the bottom... note: spiders are very competitive. FRISK: "hmm... competitive? I guess we'll just have to see what that means." Frisk walks up to the smaller of the two webs and leans down.

CHARA: *Leave 14G in the webs? FRISK: "fourteen?" CHARA: *that's right. FRISK: They shrug and place the money in the web, some spiders crawl down and hand Frisk two donuts. Frisk nods, before a voice comes from the other web. SPIDERS: "hey hey HEY! you aren't just going to buy from them are you? come here. CHARA: *Some spiders... took 18G from you. FRISK: "wha-" A jug of cider is placed in their hand, before the other web speaks up now. SPIDERS: "hey, the donuts are much better, here, have a double order!" CHARA: *some spiders snatch 28G from you FRISK: Frisk gets four donuts afterward, but is quickly getting confused and angry. "now hang on just a secon-" SPIDERS: "what? no! the cider is better, here, have a double order from US!"

CHARA: *some spiders try to take 32G from you, but you don't have that much money. SPIDERS: "what? oh, you don't have anything left. in that case, we're closed! spiders pour out of the webs and swarm Frisk, the human closes their eyes as they're carried away, when they open their eyes again, they're back in the place that they battled Napstablook, and the doorway to the spider bake sale is barred by a giant web. FRISK: "what. the heck. was that. CHARA: "I don't know, but how about we don't go back there?" FRISK: "yeah, I agree with that. I don't think we could go back even if we wanted to. guess Muffet taught these spiders this time around." Frisk turns and, instead of returning to the bake sale, heads upward. the room is larger then the last two rooms combined, and very open. a sign is one one side of the room with a line of three Froggits next to it Frisk takes a quick look at the sign, finding it unchanged from normal, Chara still reads it out for the principle of it all. CHARA: *Did you miss it? Spider Bakesale down and to the right. Come eat food by spiders, for spiders, of spiders! FRISK: "Already did that..." While things seem to be normal, Frisk still leans down and sees what the Froggits have to say, just in case.

FROGGIT: "Ribbit." CHARA: "Oh hey, they're saying something new. ehem... 'to get out of this room, you need to find the fourth frog.' FRISK: "to get out of this room?" Frisk looks around the room and to their shock, the far exit is barred by spikes. "well that's not normal..." They then go to talk to the next Froggit. FROGGIT: "Ribbit. Ribbit." CHARA: "Ehem... 'be warned, they can be a bit skittish'" FRISK: and on to the last of the Froggits in the line FROGGIT: "Croak, Croak." CHARA: "That translates to... 'Ribbit Ribbit'" FRISK: "pfft." With that out of the way, Frisk recalls the comment about the fourth frog. from previous runs, Frisk already knows that an ant sized frog is hidden in a crack in the wall of the room, so they waltz up to the crack and peer in.

MICRO FROGGIT: Instead of just waving, the Froggit makes a fly underneath them with magic and soars off; bolting away from Frisk FRISK: "W-wait!" and the chase is on! Frisk frantically runs around, trying to catch the tiny frog riding the fly. CHARA: "Wooo! you can do it! yay!" FRISK: "What are you doing Chara?" CHARA: "Cheering you on." FRISK: "Can you not? it's distracting me." CHARA: "No, and good. I was trying to be annoying." FRISK: Frisk finally catches up to the frog, this only seems to trigger a fight though, as color vanishes from the area. CHARA: *Micro Froggit is within your grasp. FRISK: As is the norm for meeting a new monster, the first thing Frisk does is Check, the other two options happen to be Snatch and Complement CHARA: *Micro Froggit, AT 12 DF 3. though they be but little, they are fierce.

MICRO FROGGIT: "Ribbit." Flies start to appear and charge in from every which way, trapping Frisk in a fairly random bullet hell that actually scores a hit, dealing a lot of damage. CHARA: *Micro Froggit is Shimmying around FRISK: "Ow..."After taking a bit to shake off their injury, Frisk goes for the Snatch option. CHARA: *You prepare to snatch the Froggit... Right as Chara says this, the Micro Froggit creates five more flies that all line up around them, the flies then all start to swap places with each other over and over again until stopping, Frisk wasn't expecting this, and snatches a random fly, which doesn't seem to have the Micro Froggit on it. MICRO FROGGIT: The remaining five flies all circle Frisk and charge all at once three times in a row, before the fight ends, and Frisk is left having to chase the frog around the room again. FRISK: "Oh come on!" Another frantic lunge, and the fight starts again. CHARA: *Micro Froggit is within your grasp... again. FRISK: Not bothering to waste any more time, Frisk goes straight for the snatch option. CHARA: *You prepare to snatch the froggit... Once again, the Froggit makes more flies and starts to swap them all around, but this time, Frisk knows what's going on and follows the fly that they know has the Froggit on it. They reach out and snatch up the fly, the battle ends again, but this time, there's no more chasing. MICRO FROGGIT: "Ribbit" CHARA: "Ehem. 'Ok, you got me! I'll let you proceed if you just let me go! Frisk complies with this and the spikes on the far end of the room retract. FRISK: "at first it was funny, then it was scary, now it's just obnoxious." CHARA: "Hey, at least it's not boring." FRISK: "I'll give it that." And with that final quip, Frisk goes past the retracted spikes and into the room beyond.

Long time no see!

The comic this time features Umusa, my boy!

What do you think about the pacing of this one? I feel like 4 pages would've make it feel... less abrupt and jumpy at time? Struggled quite a bit with imagining the scenes in this one lol, also why it took me so long to get to it...

But hey, it's here finally! Hope ya enjoy it!

With that aside, I also have an announcement to make...

I'm writing this with tears trailing down my cheeks that this might be my last time working on the AU 😔. I have made too much shitpost and sent Uber cringy undertale memes and now a decision is made that I might have to part from the team for the sake of Uber's sanity. The next comic you see will be of a different artist.

Farewell.

Just wondering...

[theoverseerau]

POV: I see that Undertale Yellow does similar things to what I have planned.

Undertale Yellow is a blessing upon the Undertale fandom, and I wholeheartedly believe it's a sign of a new era of Undertale fan works. however. I'm writing for an AU focused on the other six humans.

and I know at least one thing I have planned for Justine is... similar to something that happens in UTY.

hey, at least the rest of what I have planned is, as far as I can tell, totally different.

nice.

[theoverseerau]

hey! BT isn't dead, don't worry. there's not much for me to say on the comic itself other then that the embarrassing amount of spelling mistakes are entirely my fault, BT has nothing to do with them. asks are still open as the earlier post states, and there's going to be another set of dreams, three more to be exact. after that, I'm looking forward to showing off another revelation.

Uber's Hard Mode Part 5

for the sake of moving the plot along, we have skipped the first breaking floor puzzle and the first rock puzzle. leaving FRISK and CHARA in a large open room of the RUINS. a silver slot nearby them just large enough to crawl through. The majority of the floor before them is covered in cracked stone that the two are more then aware is unstable enough that they would fall through it if they don't step on the exact right spots. Of course, they don't care about this right now, because they are currently in the process of being jumped by a small armored figure with wings.

CHARA: *Whimsalot rushed in!

FRISK: Frisk sighs, the reality of how difficult things are going to continuing be is proven with this new encounter, it's not just funny changes anymore, it's actually much more deadly then before. looking at the CHECK options before them, they know there's two ways to approach this. but their mental state makes them feel compelled to press 'Pray' and go on one knee CHARA: *You kneel and pray for safety. FRISK: "Please... everything here is so scary now... I don't... know if I can make it though... please... stand down... CHARA: *Whimsalot remembers its conscience.

WHIMSALOT: "There's still hope." A ring of butterflies starts to circle around Frisk, two of them appear to be green in color. FRISK: Frisk smiles with relief and grabs one of the green butterflies, nodding with appreciation at the armored being before them.

CHARA: Whimsalot doesn't want to fight anymore.

FRISK: They happily press the SPARE option and watch as the color returns to the room around them "Ahh... with that done... I guess it's on to the big cracked floor puzzle." CHARA: "Yup... but you already know how this one goes." FRISK: "Indeed." They begin to walk confidently onto the cracked tiles.

CHARA: "Unless this puzzle is-" Frisk falls through the floor. "-Different then normal..." Because Chara is tied to Frisk, Chara ends up yanked into the bottom room after them

FRISK: "Ow... oh, the leaves are really different... probably should have seen that one coming.

CHARA: "Yeah, you should have. but hey, lets just try again."

FRISK: They turn to a silver colored shoot nearby and climb up, exiting out of the slot that they passed by earlier. they are caught off guard by seeing a Froggit nearby them

FROGGIT: "Ribbit Ribbit"

CHARA: "Give me a moment to translate... 'Watch your step next time, I don't want to fix another hole'"

FRISK: "Wait..." Frisk looks out at the cracked floor, and as it turns out, the hole they fell through is fixed. "Well... this is going to take a while..." They step onto the floor again, trying to remember where the leaves were located... but naturally, this takes more then just two attempts.

(attempt three) FROGGIT: "ribbit, ribbit." CHARA: "ehem... 'Puzzle maintenance isn't a joke you know.'"

(Attempt four) FROGGIT: "Ribbit."

CHARA: "err... 'the puzzle is doing its job just fine, but this thing is an antique, can you please solve it soon so I can take a break?'"

(Attempt five) FROGGIT: "Rib...bit."

CHARA: "dum-dee-dum... 'clearly, you have no respect for history.'"

FRISK: "do you have to translate the Froggit every time?"

CHARA: "yes. yes I do."

Luckily for Frisk, Chara never has to put that statement to the test more then they already have, as the next attempt at this puzzle goes swimmingly. The two enter the next room, which has a spike wall blocking the far exit and three rocks nearby buttons on the floor.

FRISK: "so, how do you think this one has changed?"

CHARA: "all three rocks will be sarcastic and resistant?"

FRISK: "yeah, that's what I think too." Frisk pushes the first rock, and it seems to act normally, then they push the second one and it does the same. while somewhat confused, they go to the third rock, touch it, and... instantly, the color drains, the buttons appear, and a fight starts.

CHARA: *Rock refuses to budge!

FRISK: Frisk is understandably caught off guard by this, but goes to ACT, followed by Check.

CHARA: *Rock: ATK 0 DEF 30. In soviet hard mode, rock pushes YOU!

ROCK: "Thought I'd just let you push me around, ehh?" No attack comes after this, oddly enough.

CHARA: *Smells like stones.

FRISK: Going back into the ACT menu, Frisk sees two options other then Check; Reason and Push. Frisk hovers over the Reason option, before instead deciding to see what happens if they just try to shove the rock.

CHARA: *You push the rock. it moves partway to the button.

ROCK: "Alright, you got me to budge, I'll give you that. But lets see how you like it!" The Rock uses magic to make smaller rocks that slide forward at Frisk.

FRISK: Frisk sidesteps for a few seconds, but one of the rocks catches the human off guard, this does no damage, but the attack ends right after the hit.

CHARA: *Rock has pushed you back where you started.

FRISK: Frisk understands how this fight works now, and pushes the rock again. Chara and the rock say the same things as before, but this time, Frisk is able to dodge the attack.

CHARA: *Rock keeps a stone face.

FRISK: With the rhythm now established, Frisk shoves the rock again.

CHARA: *You push the Rock. it is most of the way to the button.

ROCK: "Alright, more impressive. but you still got to prove yourself before I get shoved around without a fight!" The attack is the same as before, albeit with more rocks in a denser spread, unfortunately for the Rock, Frisk is prepared, and dodges this barrage just like the one before.

CHARA: *All rock, and no roll.

FRISK: You know the drill, Frisk shoves the Rock again.

CHARA: *You push the Rock, it is on the button now.

ROCK: "Alright, alright, you got me here, but can you keep me here?" Final round of stone attacks, denser then ever before, one close call... two close calls... and Frisk makes it through just barely!

CHARA: *Rock has accepted its fate.

FRISK: After breathing the second sigh of relief in the past few minutes, Frisk goes to MERCY followed by Spare, and backs away as the color returns to their surroundings.

CHARA: *You Won! you got 0 xp and 0 gold FRISK: They look at the Rock, which is now silent and on the button. "My goodness... that was something... and Napstablook is coming up too, not looking forward to that." Frisk walks past the place where the spikes used to be and enters the next room, staying on guard. the room is small and only contains a table with cheese on it, and a save point. which Frisk gladly places their hand on.

CHARA: *Knowing the mouse might one day leave its hole and get the cheese... It fills you with determination.

FRISK: "who knows, things are different this time, they might actually get it."

Ask Open!

For an undetermined amount of time, any questions you ask someone in The Overseer will be responded to in character! So in other words, while the next comic is being drawn and I continue work on the Hard Mode side project, this AU will temporarily act like an askblog! Of course, you are still free to ask me or BT questions as well, if you so wish. -Uber

[theoverseerau]

Hey look! It's finally here!

Alright, new button. This one is a bit tricky to explain, but I'll try it anyway. It's like a reverse lie detector of sorts. If you say something using the button, then everyone who hears what you said knows that it is true, and this is something that is impossible to misinterpret, you hear her say something with her button, and no matter how delusional or unwilling you are, you know with every fiber of your being that she said something true. of course, she also can't lie with it. hence why her mouth slammed shut when she tried to say something that she can't actually guarantee to be true.

with that mouthful out of the way, I hope you enjoyed the comic!

Uber's Hard Mode Part 4

The Scene starts in the RUINS. FRISK and CHARA have just left a long hallway and have found themselves in a snaking corridor. there is a FROGGIT nearby the entrance, and a doorway to a room that is to hard to see from within the hallway. a pile of leaves rests nearby, and on this pile is a glowing yellow SAVE POINT. the phone that Frisk has begins to ring the moment they enter the room, after it is picked up, the sound of TORIEL's voice comes through it.

TORIEL: Hello, this is Toriel. You have not left the room, have you? There are a few puzzles ahead that I have yet to explain. It would be dangerous to try to solve them yourself. Be good, alright?

Frisk puts the cell phone away

CHARA: Huh, I thought that the call would be different.

FRISK: Same, either way... we have a friend over here.

Frisk turns to the Froggit and it speaks.

FROGGIT: Ribbit, ribbit. CHARA: Gimme a moment, let me translate. 'Excuse me, Human. I have some advice for you about battling monsters. The monsters in this world are very dangerous and aggressive, in this place, running away will not work during the beginning of a fight. It may be better to try another option.' huh... interesting.

FROGGIT: Ribbit.

Frisk nods to the Froggit and walks to the save point.

CHARA: *Playfully crinkling through the leaves fills you with determination. HP restored.

Frisk hops through the small leaf pile a few times.

FRISK: You'd think after so many resets, that this would get old, but dry leaves are just a universal joy it seems.

CHARA: Heh.

Frisk looks around the room, and walks in the direction of the doorway close to them, but before they can enter, a frog like shape leaps in front of them, triggering the usual fight sequence of color draining from the area and buttons appearing in front of Frisk.

CHARA: *Final Froggit hopped in...?

Frisk backs away in surprise as a person they weren't expecting to see until the CORE appears right here at the beginning of their travel through the underground. Frisk's first instict is to try and flee, but then they remember what the other Froggit said to them, and instead choose ACT followed by Mystify.

CHARA: *You did something mysterious. Final Froggit recognizes it has more to learn from this world.

FINAL FROGGIT: (Thoughtful Croak)

Several flies made out of magic appear in the air and all swarm and Frisk, they try their best to dodge, but take a hit or two, the attacks hurting a lot given Frisk's current lack of armor...

CHARA: *Final Froggit seems reluctant to fight you.

Frisk sighs and goes to MERCY, selecting Spare.

CHARA: *YOU WON! you got 0EXP and 4 Gold!

Frisk stands still after the fight ends, rubbing their chest as they breath heavily.

FRISK: Well... this just made things considerably more terrifying.

CHARA: If something like a Final Froggit is here... then what kind of opponents will be after the Ruins?

FRISK: I don't want to know. but I also don't think we have a choice.

Frisk goes right back to the save point and recovers their health, before carefully trying to enter the doorway again. this time, there are no monsters that jump out. instead, the familiar bowl of candy rests in the center of the room that was entered.

FRISK: Thank goodness. if things keep going at this pace, I'll need all of the food I can possibly get.

Frisk reaches and grabs a piece of candy, then they grab another... they reach again, and the bowl topples over!

CHARA: In this hellish world... you can only take two pieces of candy.

FRISK: ...

Frisk just stares at the fallen bowl while their eye twitches slightly.

CHARA: It is called Hard Mode after all.

FRISK: But this is just mean.

STOP RIGHT NOW AND HEAR ME OUT!

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

LIKE!!!

WOW!!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

After a post pacifist route, Chara (who's living on the surface as ghost (kinda like napstablook)) starts having really realistic dreams about some kids on the underground.

After a while, Chara and Frisk realize that these are not simple dreams, but a core part of why the underground and the monsters are the way they are.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dude like, what are you doing >:/

Why are you not reading this >:0

Stumbled upon this AU by accident and I love the concept???? And the art style???? It's freaking amazing???

First chapter:

But like I reccomend giving the whole account a go (it's short!) Because there's a lot of interesting stuff besides the comic!

Behind the @theoverseerau account, there's an amazing writer (Uber) and an incredible comic artist (BT)!!

Love this !!!✨

If like stories that talk about the other fallen children I recommend you Underline!

(need more of this concept 😩)

Uber's Hard Mode Part 3

The scene starts in a corridor of the RUINS. a section in the middle of the corridor has a lighter colored floor in an odd snaking pattern. FRISK and CHARA enter through a door near the western end of the hall, and approach TORIEL, who is standing close to the light colored pattern.

TORIEL: There is another puzzle in this room. I wonder if you can solve it? CHARA: Hmm. nothing seems changed so far... FRISK: You're right, though we should stay on guard... TORIEL: Who are you talking to, my child? FRISK: Well... Frisk Debates telling Toriel about Chara, but enough about the underground is different this time around that Frisk opts to just let this run play through like normal. FRISK: Just talking to myself. I'm kind of a weird kid. TORIEL: Well, Weird or not, you seem like a wonderful child. come now, into the next room. Toriel leads Frisk through the hallway, Chara floats behind them. when they approach the end of the hallway, a FROGGIT leaps out and blocks Frisk's path, Toriel doesn't notice this and enters into the next room, oblivious to this event. Color leeches away from the hallway nearby Frisk and the familiar buttons appear in front of them CHARA: *Froggit attacks you! Frisk enters the ACT menu. selecting Complement from it. CHARA: *Froggit didn't understand what you said, but was flattered anyway. The Froggit blushes deeply FROGGIT: Ribbit.. The Froggit leaps at Frisk a few times, Frisk was expecting Toriel to come in and scare the Froggit away, so this jump ends up smacking right into the soul in front of Frisk, they wince in pain. CHARA: *Froggit seems reluctant to fight you. Frisk smiles and presses the MERCY option, choosing Spare. Chara: *YOU WON! you got 0EXP and 20 Gold! Color returns to the area. FRISK: Well that was different... CHARA: Yeah, Mom just kept walking, guess we should catch up. Frisk and Chara finish walking down the hallway to catch up with Toriel, who is standing in front of a large amount of spikes surrounded by water. Toriel turns around TORIEL: This is the- Toriel gasps TORIEL: My child, you are hurt! FRISK: Ah, it's noth- TORIEL: I am ashamed of myself. leaving such a vulnerable soul out of my sight for that long. FRISK: It was only a few seco- TORIEL: I will be sure to do better next time, fear not, this was only a momentary lapse in judgment. here, let me tend to your wounds. CHARA: You have been restored to full health. TORIEL: I was going to have you try to solve this puzzle, but in light of recent events, I will just lead you through, here, take my hand. Toriel leads Frisk safely through the spikes. Frisk appreciates how pretty the room is as they are lead. TORIEL: Puzzles seem a little too dangerous for now. The three enter the next room, it is a massive hallway with many vines hanging down, a single pillar is just barely visible at the end of the hall. TORIEL: You have done excellently thus far, my child. However... I have a difficult request to ask of you... I would like you to walk to the end of the room by yourself. Forgive me for this. Toriel speedwalks away and Frisk saunters after her, quickly falling behind. they continue walking down the hallway, the tension no longer being unnecessary as Frisk looks around, waiting for whatever hard mode surprise might be inside this hall... Frisk makes it all the way across the hall with no sign of anything happening. and when they reach the very end, they look behind the pillar, expecting to see Toriel. but there's no one there. CHARA: So. She actually did it, the mad woman. FRISK: pfft... HAHAHA! CHARA: HEH HEH! Toriel eventually comes into the room, having waited inside the room after the hallway. TORIEL: Well done, you have proven your independence. I was afraid that leaving you alone was foolish, but you went above and beyond. now, the reason I have tested you is because I have to leave for a bit, and you have to stay here until I return. Now, I will also give you a cell phone. if you have a need for anything, just call. Be good, alright? Toriel leaves the room, and the scene ends here.

Uber's Hard Mode part 2

The Scene starts inside the RUINS. FRISK and CHARA are within a room filled with fallen leaves, two staircases lead up to a raised platform that contains a door at the end of it. a shining yellow spark is between the two staircases, a save point. TORIEL is on the platform. Frisk walks to the save point and presses it.

CHARA: The shadow of the ruins looms above, filling you with Determination. FRISK: Thank you... time to move on then. Frisk and Chara follow Toriel as she explains the function of puzzles. the two had heard this explanation many times before, and simply waited while Toriel pushed four buttons to solve the puzzle and opened the door, beckoning Frisk forward. CHARA: ready for the hardest puzzle in the entire underground? FRISK: you know it. TORIEL: To make progress here, you will need to trigger several switches. Do not worry, I have labeled the ones that you need to flip. CHARA: As per usua- TORIEL: Ehh? CHARA: ? FRISK: Huh? TORIEL: It seems that the labeling has worn away. Oh dear. This might be far more challenging then I anticipated... Both Frisk and Chara burst out laughing. TORIEL: ...Have I said something wrong my child? FRISK: No, I just... it's nothing. TORIEL: Very well. Toriel walks to the other side of the room CHARA: Ok, I was not expecting that. FRISK: what do you mean? I thought you already knew this was hard mode and whatever? CHARA: that's literally all that I know. everything else I have to find out for myself, like the bandage not helping you run anymore. I had to look in your inventory to find that out. FRISK: interesting. well, time to attempt the best puzzle in the underground, hard mode version. Frisk takes a few seconds to remember how the puzzle is supposed to be solved outside of the labels, and flips the proper switches, going to Toriel who complements them and leads them into the other room where a dummy is located. TORIEL: As a human living in the underground, monsters may attack you. You will need to be prepared for this situation. However, worry not! The process is simple. when you encounter a monster, you will enter a FIGHT. While you are in a fight, strike up a friendly conversation. Stall for time, I will come to resolve the conflict. Practice talking to the Dummy. Frisk walks over to the Dummy and triggers an encounter. the color leeches from the surroundings once again, and the buttons appear, along with the soul. CHARA: *you encountered the dummy Frisk moves their hand to the ACT button and then selects 'talk' from the list that appeared. CHARA: *you talk to the Dummy *... *it doesn't seem much for co- DUMMY: Oh? are you training for a fight? I can help! The Dummy shakes and what appears to be stuffing flies everywhere as projectiles. Frisk is caught off guard by this, but dodges all of the cotton. CHARA: *The dummy shakes slightly. Frisk picks ACT again, but goes to Check this time CHARA:* A cotton heart and a button eye, it seems this time it may truly try. The Dummy shakes once more and cotton flies everywhere, Frisk begins dodging again, but one of the cotton balls catches them by surprise and the soul floating in front of Frisk smacks into it... the cotton ball bounces off harmlessly, dealing no damage. Frisk looks confused and purposely runs into another cotton bullet, it also bounces off with no damage. Frisk chuckles to themselves after this. CHARA: *Dummy rocks around absentmindedly. Frisk chooses the talk option again. CHARA: *You talk to the Dummy. DUMMY: Oh, we're talking now... uhh... umm... uhh... oh crap my mind just went blank... this is so awkward... uhh... GOT TO GO, SORRY! CHARA: *the Dummy ran away..? *YOU WON! *You earned 0 XP and 0 gold Color returns to the area as the fight ends TORIEL: Ahh... the dummy must just be shy. anyway, come now. Toriel exits the room, Frisk and Chara have a short chuckle over what just transpired, before following Toriel. end scene.
