Chapter Text
You woke up with a sudden jolt, your head throbbing to Hell and back. You looked around, seeing your friends Amelia, Jack, Rose, Iris, Jayden, and Rowen, laying nearby. Looking upwards, you saw a hole very high up, sunlight poking through. You figured that you and your friends had fallen from up there. Although, how you survived the fall was still somewhat of a mystery to you. It seems that you weren't hurt too badly, however.
"Ugh..." A nearby voice groaned "What the hell happened...?"
You looked over, identifying the source of the voice as Jack. It seemed that your friends had started to regain consciousness.
"Are you guys alright?" Jayden asked, concern evident in his voice.
"I think so..." Rowen replied, putting their hat back on.
"It looks like we're stuck down here." Rose commented "I mean, it's not like we can just climb up there."
"Well, there's a pathway, over here..." Iris pointed out.
"Looks like we have no choice but to proceed." Amelia said.
The seven of you continued forward, entering a room that had a golden flower that, for some reason, had a face.
"Howdy!" The flower greeted "I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower!"
"...that's a talking flower..." Iris concernedly let out "That is a talking. Flower."
"Hmm... You're all new to the Underground, aren't ya?" Flowey asked "Golly, you guys must be so confused."
"V-Very much so, yes." You responded.
"Well, then, someone ought to teach you guys how things work down here!" Flowey decided "I guess little ol' me will have to do. Ready? Here we go!"
Seven glowing hearts emerged from you and your friends. Yours was red, Amelia's was cyan, Jack's was orange, Rose's was blue, Iris's was purple, Jayden's was green, and Rowen's was yellow.
"See those hearts? Those are your Souls, the very culminations of your beings!" Flowey explained "Your Souls start of weak, but can grow strong is you gain a lot of LV."
"What's LV?" Amelia questioned.
"Why, LOVE, of course! You guys want some LOVE, don't you?" Flowey replied "Don't worry; I'll share some with you!"
Around five, maybe six, pellets appeared above Flowey's head.
"Down here, LOVE is shared through little, white 'Friendliness Pellets'." He explained "Are you all ready? Move around and get as many as you can!"
You found yourself feeling a little suspicious of him, but pushed it aside. He said it would help you all grow stronger, after all.
You reached out and touched one of the pellets, only for pain to rush through you entire body. You looked up and saw that the others had stopped dead in their tracks upon noticing what had happened to you.
"You idiots. In this world, it's kill or be killed!" Flowey exclaimed "Why would anyone pass up an opportunity like this?!"
You and your friends were immediately surrounded by rings of the so-called 'Friendliness Pellets'.
"DIE!!" Flowey shouted as the pellets started getting closer.
However, before any of them could hit you, they disappeared, along with all the pain you felt. Flowey seemed just as confused as the rest of you, before he was suddenly blown away by a fireball.
"What a terrible creature, torturing such poor, innocent youths." A soft, motherly-sounding voice said.
The voice came from what looked to be a bipedal goat woman.
"Ah, do not be afraid, my children. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins." The woman introduced "I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first humans to come here in a long time."
Your souls all faded away.
"Come! I will guide you through the catacombs." Toriel said "This way."
You and your friends looked at each other for a moment, as Toriel walked through a purple archway. You all silently agreed to follow her.
