Alphatale/Miserable World

This story takes place after the events of Astral Mother Day

The Astral Mother's pregnancy was just about over and she was due to give birth any day now, She also got started setting up the two humans and getting them ready for their toughest task yet.

"Alright then you two, I have a mighty task that I want you to uptake" the Astral mother said with a large smile until she handed Frisk and Chara some cleaning supplies

"You two can get to cleaning this place up for when the baby is born, that way when he sees everything he isn't too disappointed. Unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about those faces of yours, but I'm sure I can work out something to make you both better looking." The Astral Mother chuckled

"Yea and Fuck you too" Frisk said

" So do you know when the baby is coming?" Chara asked as Aurora practiced yoga near the TV

" The doctor said any day now, I'm a little nervous to be honest" the Astral Mother said with shaky breath, that's when the front door opened and Quenya came walking through.

"Quenya, I reckon this must be important for you to just come barging in" Astral Mother said slightly annoyed

" Yes, Me and a few other guards have gotten reports of humans setting up camps close to MT.Ebott. I've sent out a few squads to check it out and so far they don't seem hostile, but I wanted a response from you in order to be sure" Quenya said with a bit of tiredness to her voice. Frisk and Chara looked at one another and then to the Astral Mother whose eyes looked to be filled with familiarity and also with a tender glow.

"Hmm, ok then, change of plans, Chara I want you to go out and check out the human camps near by the mountain." The Astral Mother said as she felt her stomach

" NO WAY! By himself?! NO way wendy you've lost it! Char-" but before he could finish Chara elbowed Frisk in the rib causing him to grunt and cough.

" SHUT UP! I can manage just fine on my own" Chara shouted at Frisk

" *I'm tired of everyone seeing me as this weakling a pathetic man…I can manage this on my own!"* Chara thought to himself.

"I can go and make sure the camps are moved away from the mountain ma'am" Chara said with confidence as he stood up

"That's what I like to hear, now go with Quenya and her royal guardsmen, you'll depart early tomorrow the next day." The Astral Mother said as she then got to walking away from everyone leaving them all in the living room. Frisk looked to Chara, but Chara just looked down at his hands which were clenched tight.

" Hey, Just want you to know that missions like these aren't that easy to do, especially due to our lovely relationship with humans already so try to keep a distance and not die ok." Quenya said with a slight smirk. She then walked out of the castle leaving Chara and the others alone, Aurora walked over to Chara and Frisk.

"Great work Chara, now you finally will get a chance to prove your something more then just eye candy to all these gorgeous monsters out there" Aurora said with a wide grin only to see Frisk staring daggers at her

" Chara you have to reconsider! This is dangerous!" Frisk said only to be elbowed in the chest again

"ENOUGH WITH THIS DOUBTING ME! I'M THE ELDEST OF THE TWO OF US AND I DON'T NEED YOU PROTECTING ME! I NEVER ASKED FOR YOU TO PROTECT ME!" Chara shouted, Frisk looked at Chara, this was new, this rage, anger…or perhaps he just hadn't noticed, was it his fault? Was he being too protective. Frisk looked down as he then walked away, Aurora watched with a saddened expression as Frisk went to his room and Chara looked in annoyance before looking away.

"That was a bit cruel don't you think Chara?" Aurora said concerned

" He deserves it, always feeling like he needs to look out for me, I can prove to him that I'm just fine on my goddamn own!" Chara said as he started walking away after Quenya. Aurora looked in concern before she headed down to the laboratory using the elevator from the castle. Once she got there she saw the Astral Mother working on yet another robotic droid.

"Madam Astral if I may, Since Frisk is going to be staying here, I would appreciate it if you allowed for me to take him under my wing" Aurora said as she took a knee to the Astral Mother who opened a drawer filled with flask filled with prosthetic eyes.

"Hmm, You and those children have been getting rather close and since I'll soon be taking care of my own spawn I suppose it wouldn't be so bad as to let you have Frisk for now, prove you can take care of him and get him to his best potential and mayhap I'll let you take them both" the Astral Mother said with little care as she then added a pair of yellow eyes, she then moved a dial on the droid's head turning its hair color from green, blue, brown and then finally to yellow.

"W-What are you working on if I may ask?" Aurora asked

"It's the next cyborg I plan to make, since Chara and Quenya are to go and rid of those human camps I need another humanoid to assist me and to make sure Frisk keep on improving in their skill set." The Astral Mother said as she then grabbed a vial filled with some concentrated nuclear elements into the machine.

"Nuclear elements?! Madam your pregnancy…you're putting it at risk!" Aurora said with mass concern, the Astral Mother then turned her face, a look of annoyance and slight anger as she stared at Aurora who also looked back at her with shock and fear.

"Pain" Astral Mother said and with that Aurora's body and hardware began to electrocute and fry Aurora causing her to squeal and scream in pain as she sprawled on the floor.

"ARGH!!! P-PLEASE MISTRESS PLEASE!!! I ONLY WANT WHAT IS BE-ARGAAHHHH!" Aurora continued to scream as her head began to smoke

"I want you to understand something, just because I like the way you get those kids off my back or how you listen to me better then everyone else, DOSEN'T mean I require your inputs on how I live and take of mine or others lives." Astral Mother said as she then got up and walked out

"Another time Aurora enjoyed the chat, electric as always heheh" the Astral Mother chuckled as she left through the elevator.

4 hours later

As Frisk laid in his bed he thought on Chara's words from before, although harsh they were not untrue. He was always there, behind Chara and besides him. Frisk always fought for Chara, lied, and even stole at times, back at they're home in Shinkoku. It was never a paradise, but it was still home regardless of course. The days the were simpler and yet even back then the hostility was there.

"…maybe I should…" but Frisk couldn't finish his words, instead he ventured back downstairs, as he did he then saw Peterson standing and looking down as he floated in the living room. Frisk never did understand the Astral Mother's affection for him, he wasn't brave or even that well brought together and yet somehow Frisk did find some solace in being around him at times.

"What are you doing Peterson?" Frisk asked as he walked next to him, Peterson simply looked down at Frisk and then looked away. It was late, the night sky and cold air flowing from the outside and into the underground so seamlessly. Frisk looked up Peterson as he just saw he was staring continuously off into nowhere, Frisk then walked past him and towards the elevator down to the laboratory where he then upon exit saw Quenya with a unconscious Aurora.

"Hey, you good? you bucket of bolts" Quenya said lifting Aurora up by her arm

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Frisk shouted in anger as he summoned his blade, Quenya looked back now noticing the human.

"Frisk, listen calm down, I didn't hurt Aurora I'd have no reason to do so." Quenya said as she put her hands up

"See? I mean no harm" Quenya said

"Sure you do" Frisk said as he then charged forward attempting to stab Quenya only for her to move out of the way with ease and then kick Frisk into a filing cabinet.

"That's strike one, I got two more that will teach ya good if you don't cool it kid." Quenya said, Frisk got up pissed, but then when he realized that his arm had been dislocated from the one kick from Quenya.

"Alright, fine, well what did happen?" Frisk asked

"That's what I was trying to say before, I don't know, but shes not dead from what I see, she seems to just be out for now" Quenya said as she then walked over and picked up Aurora

"Come on, lets go" Quenya said as she began walking to the elevator

"No, the table, she can charge better down here" Frisk said as her and Quenya and set her on the table and got a few cords to plug into her reactor which was placed in her stomache.

"Hey, I just remembered, but shouldn't you and Chara be going out to stop those human camps?" Frisk said

"Chara is no doubt already up at the barrier with the other guardsmen, I came here in hopes perhaps maybe Aurora would be up to help us, her speed could be a nice edge that we need." Quenya said as she watched as Aurora started charging

"Well lets hope she pulls through whatever happened to her." Frisk said

"Yea" Quenya replied only to then get a ringing on her phone, she then picked up putting it on speaker.

"Hello Quenya here" Quenya said while Frisk watched Aurora.

"HEY! YEA ITS ME PETERSON! It's…it's Wendy, she…she had a miscarriage" Peterson  said in a raspy and desperate voice, Quenya dropped the phone in shock with Frisk face also being one of shock as well.

"…That's….I…we have to go" Quenya said as she then ran to the elevator with Frisk following her.

The two ran outside the castle, Quenya using her quick thinking picked Frisk up onto her shoulder and then began to jump to Watercity, she jumped onto the Hotland sign and then over a a big chunk of Waterfall before entering the city, Quenya moved way faster then Frisk, the hospital was loud and insanely active as Frisk could only assume the worst, once he entered the hospital all Frisk could hear was the sound people running around and loads of panicking. He tried to find Quenya in the chaos, but no luck.

"This place is going nuts, well then again if I had the Astral Mother in my building I guess I'd freak too" Frisk said as he then got to running towards the main desk

"HEY! Wheres the Astral Mother being kept?" Frisk asked the concision lady

"Sorry kid no ones allowed in or out of this place until we can help her…somehow" she said

" It was miscarriage right? Then you'd best get out of here in hopes of helping yourself" Frisk said as he backed up looking for a elevator.

" Just have to follow the noise" Frisk mumbled as he then got to running up the stairs

"HEY KID WAIT! Damn" the concision lady said

Frisk got to running up the stairs where the noise, panicking and screaming got even worse the higher he went. He saw doctors running past and around him as he kept making his way closer to the chaos.

"The sedatives are waring off!!" shouted one nurse

"SHES GONNA WAKE UP!! WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!" shouted another

"HURRY UP AND MOVE OUT OF MY WAY I NEED TO GET IN THERE!!" Quenya shouted, Frisk then stopped at the 4th floor as he then moved towards where he heard Quenya's voice was coming from

"NO QUENYA! YOU CANT!!" shouted Peterson as Frisk then heard Peterson's voice.

He kept moving until Frisk rounded a corner to see Peterson stopping Quenya from entering the hospital room as Nurses and Doctors all jammed inside or tried to.

"LET GO OF ME PETERSON!!" Quenya shouted

"NO!" Peterson shouted

"I SAID LET ME GO BEFORE I DO SOMETHING WE BOTH REGRET!!" Quenya shouted as she then grabbed onto Peterson's cloak

"HOW CAN YOU STAY OUT HERE WHEN YOUR WIFE IS IN THEIR LOSEING YOUR BABY!!!?!" Quenya screamed getting a few people's attention

"….I…" Peterson looked down only to then see Frisk, Quenya noticed as well before scoffing and throwing Peterson to the side

"I'm going in, Unless you want to try and stop me" Quenya said as she looked over to Peterson with a cold stare as he simply looked down. Frisk just watched, he knew that things were definitely not gonna get any better as he watched as Quenya walked over to the hospital room. Frisk attempted to enter, but some doctors pulled him back.

"You…you really don't want to go in there" said the wolf like doctor, Frisk was about to argue before a sudden bloodcurdling scream rang through the entire hospital, it was Wendy. Quenya and other doctors and nurses rushed in as all Frisk could hear was the screams of the Astral Mother.

"NOOOO!!! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!!! PUT HIM BACK! PUT HIM BACK!!!" screamed the Astral Mother from inside the room, doctors left with tools and bloody surgical gloves as nurses went in with towels and some. Frisk looked over to Peterson who was sitting on the floor shaking and talking to himself nervously

"Not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault not my fault" Peterson kept saying over and over and over again as the Astral Mother continued to scream in the other room, the doctor continued to hold Frisk as the screams continued for the rest of the day.
