Section 1 - In Ruins

**In Ruins** (or, alternatively, **Section 1**) is the first section of *Deltatraveler*, taking place in Undertale's Ruins. This is the only section with Hard Mode.

It was originally released in November 13th, 2021. (while Hard Mode was released in June 27th, 2022.)

## Story (Normal Mode)

Kris and Susie wake up at the beginning of the Undertale Ruins. Soon after, they meet Flowey, and Susie (accidentally) discovers that he wanted to steal their SOULs. Once Susie hits him, the Toriel from Undertale appears and thinks Kris is Chara; which causes her to run away crying. When Kris and Susie catch up with her and resolve the misunderstanding, Toriel suggests they go to the royal scientist (who she thinks is still W.D. Gaster) to get them back to their universe. After she gives Kris her phone number and leaves to prepare something for the two of them, they both have to make it to the end of the Ruins.

### Normal Route

They make their way through the Ruins without much trouble until they reach Toriel's house (who seemed to be thinking about what she could do with the magic that brought Kris and Susie into this universe). She tells them that she has a surprise for them, and shows them that she has prepared a temporary room for the two of them. Once Kris goes to sleep, they have a dream where W.D. Gaster tells them that he can free them if they reach him through the grey doors.

After resting, as the duo decide to leave, Toriel warns them that Asgore wishes to take every human SOUL. But she knows they have to go back to their world, so she lets them go despite her fears. Upon reaching the end of the Ruins, they both confront Flowey because he wants to take their SOULs so he can travel to other worlds and see Chara again. Leaving there, they find Noelle and she joins the party. Shortly after, they meet Sans and he gives them information on how they can get to Hotland to meet Alphys and also tells them that his brother will try to capture Kris. When they find a grey door, Noelle trips and falls into it, and Kris and Susie jump into it.

### Obliteration Route

They both kill all the enemies in the Ruins (Napstablook included), which starts to worry Susie and makes her think that Kris is just freaked out. At one point they arrive at Toriel's house (who seemed to be thinking about what she could do with the magic that brought Kris and Susie into this universe), and she tells them that she has a surprise for them; showing them that she has prepared a temporary room for the two of them. Once Kris goes to sleep after the player killed everyone there, they have a dream in which W.D. Gaster tells them that he can free them and cleanse them of sin if they reach him through the grey doors.

## Story (Hard Mode)

Susie wakes up at the beginning of the Undertale Ruins and meets Frisk. Soon after, they meet Flowey, and Susie (accidentally) finds out that he wanted to steal their SOULS. Once Susie hits him, Toriel appears and thinks that Susie tried to kill Frisk; which makes her very hard on her. After going through some tutorials, Toriel attacks Susie because she believes that she's a danger to Frisk's life, but they get in the way and they try to defend her. After Toriel lets Susie explain herself, she suggests that she go to the royal scientist (who she thinks is still W.D. Gaster) to take her back to her universe; and trusts that she can take care of Frisk along the way. After Toriel gives Frisk a cell phone and leaves to make something for the two of them, they both have to reach the end of the Ruins.

### Normal Route

They make their way through the Ruins without much trouble until they reach Toriel's house (who seemed to be thinking of convincing Frisk to stay). She tells them that she has a surprise for them, and shows them that she has prepared a temporary room for the two of them. Once Frisk goes to sleep, they have a dream in which W.D. Gaster tells us that we will meet him after finishing this side experiment.

After resting, as the duo decide to leave, Toriel warns them that Asgore wishes to take every single human SOUL, and tells Frisk that they can stay if they wish. But Susie tells her that they really don't want to be there despite that, so she lets them go despite her fears. Upon reaching the end of the Ruins, they both confront Flowey because he has Kris trapped and wants their SOULs to travel to other worlds and see Chara again. Leaving there, they find Noelle and, as she and Kris join the party, Frisk is kidnapped and taken to LOSTCORE. Soon after, they meet up with W.D. Gaster and he comments that his real experiment is getting the Delta Warriors through the grey doors without intervention. After analyzing all of Frisk's journey up to that point, he finishes them off.

### Obliteration Route

They both kill all the enemies in the Ruins (Napstablook included), which starts to annoy Susie. They arrive at Toriel's house (who seemed to be thinking of convincing Frisk to stay) and she tells them that she has a surprise for them; showing them that she has prepared a temporary room for the two of them. Once Frisk goes to sleep after the player killed everyone there, they have a dream in which W.D. Gaster tells us that we will meet him after finishing this side experiment.

Upon reaching the end of the Ruins, they both confront Flowey because he has Kris trapped and wants their SOULs to travel to other worlds and see Chara again. After killing him and leaving, they find Noelle, and Frisk (being possessed by Chara) tries to kill her. Susie finally gets fed up with Frisk's psychopathic behaviors and she and Kris draw their weapons to finish them off, but Frisk is kidnapped and taken to LOSTCORE. Soon after, they meet up with W.D. Gaster and he comments that his real experiment is getting the Delta Warriors through the grey doors without intervention. After analyzing Frisk's journey, he finishes them off.
