Section 2 - Oh, Mother

**Oh, Mother** (or, alternatively, **Section 2**) is the second Section of *Deltatraveler*, taking place in Earthbound's world.

It was originally released in June 27th, 2022.

## Story

### Normal Route

The Delta Warriors arrive in Earthbound and Kris and Noelle use a new spell called LightClear to change the art style. They go through Peaceful Rest Valley, where they discover that they can contact the Toriel from Deltarune and where Sans will sell useful items. Arriving at Happy Happy Village, they see that the Happy-Happism cult, a cult that believes the world will be a better place if everything is painted blue, controls the place, and they look around for a way to continue.

They end up meeting Paula, who is freed thanks to Susie. Then, everything stops and W.D. Gaster starts talking about Kris and Paula being "Essence Holders" and that she could benefit Kris's cause. Everything returns to normal and Paula says that they will need her to get to the grey door; since they need a bomb that Mr. Carpainter (the leader of the cult) has to destroy the seal towards Lilliput Steps and she has a Franklin Badge that avoids his lightning. She ends up piggybacking on Kris and the team finds Porky coming out of the cabin. Paula says that he was one of the people who kidnapped her and Susie starts chasing him. Once she returns after being unable to catch him, they head to the town hall and defeat Mr. Carpainter to put an end to the Happy-Happism cult.

They reach the end of Lilliput Steps and confront Mondo Mole to gain access to the end of the area. But when they are about to leave, Porky appears with his mech and tells them that he wants to kill them because they are causing dimensional destruction and that would ruin Giygas' plans. After finishing the battle, Ness appears and thanks the help of the team for bringing him closer to defeating Giygas. Finally, Ness and Paula continue on their way while the Delta Warriors do the same.

### Obliteration Route

The Delta Warriors arrive in Earthbound and Kris and Noelle use a new spell called LightClear to change the art style. They go through Peaceful Rest Valley, where they discover that they can contact the Toriel from Deltarune and where Sans will sell useful items. After killing all the creatures in the area, the team feels strong enough to kill the enemies that don't normally die; causing them to bleed to collapse. Susie gets really mad at Kris after killing Coil Snake and they try to tell her that they can't control themselves, but she doesn't believe them. Noelle convinces her that maybe Kris is right, and Susie tells them that they need to talk about this when they have a break.

Arriving at Happy Happy Village, they kill a Blue Cultist and a creepy woman talks about how the team's LOVE has been rising. She then approaches Kris and "rewards" them with a hard blow to the head that knocks them out. Kris hopes they won't wake up again, as they were unable to stop the player's actions, but Susie and Noelle take them to the doctor and he tells them they have a concussion (and Susie complains about the fucking rip-off that was spending all their money to pay the doctor's fee).

When they leave looking for a way to progress, they meet Paula, who is freed thanks to Susie. Then, everything stops and W.D. Gaster starts talking about Kris and Paula being "Essence Holders" and that she could benefit Kris's cause. But before he can finish, Kris passes out and Paula talks about going to Lilliput Steps to treat their concussion. She leaves looking for someone who can help them get there while they stay at the cabin, but Susie prefers to keep going and they find Porky outside. He talks about how he was going to catch Paula again, but she got away when he mentioned the killers on the loose. Susie starts to chase him and when she comes back, she sees that Paula dropped her Franklin Badge and gives it to Kris. They go to the town hall and confront Mr. Carpainter. After killing him, he gives them the bomb to see if their violent nature will heal upon reaching Lilliput Steps and begs them to spare the children.

After killing as many enemies as possible, they confront Mondo Mole in order to gain access to the end of the area. After killing it, it tells Kris that they are going to have to make a difficult decision now that they have killed it. When they get there and are about to leave, Ness and Paula show up to stop the Delta Warriors from killing more people on more worlds. Despite Susie and Noelle's attempts to avoid fighting them, they end up taking part in the battle, and Ness is killed. Paula tries to revive him with a Horn of Life, but it has no effect. So, she gets depressed (as do Susie and Noelle) and give it her all to get revenge. When Paula is about to die, she tries to attack the screen directly and it starts to crack; but ends up collapsing. After this, the Delta Warriors continue on their way.

### Aborted Obliteration Route (While Kris has a concussion)

There are changes depending on when it's aborted, but the most important thing happens at the end. At first, it looks like the normal Obliteration Route, but Porky appears instead of Ness & Paula. He tells the Delta Warriors that he thought they were the murderers, but changed his mind when he saw that they couldn't kill Mondo Mole. But even though he thinks it did the killing, he still wants to finish them off because they're causing dimensional destruction and that would ruin Giygas' plans. After finishing the battle, Ness appears and explains how he heard that murders had happened in that area. He assumes it was Mondo Mole and believes the Delta Warriors took care of it and freed Paula. After saying goodbye, they continue on their way.

Alternatively if they choose to kill Mondo Mole and spare Ness and Paula the two will let you go, mad at you but glad you stopped your ways.

## Trivia

* During the initial reveal of all future sections in the official Discord server of *Deltatraveler*, Section 2 was called "Valley Blues".
	+ Additionally, there were plans to change the Section name in the end credits depending on the route the player was in: "*Oh, Mother*" for the Normal Route, and "*Valley Blues*" for the Obliteration Route. However, the idea got scrapped.
