WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR UNDERTALE, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

*(Y/N)'s P.O.V*
Things were getting harder. The puzzles grew more complex, the monsters harder to sweet talk. And without any words of encouragement from Toriel things weren't looking so easy. I had my first fight with Undyne not to long ago, I barely escaped with my life. I had hope that was going to be enough for the old woman to receive my call, but alas it was hopeless.

I sighed as I pushed the phone into my pocket as I continued walking through the maze like hallways. Alphys was making a surprising amount of mistakes though I couldn't blame her. This place did look rather hard to keep track of, I let out a huff of relief as I stepped into the large doorway.

The room was dark, in the centre of the room all I could see where a few square shaped likes blinkering red and white. I knew who this was. "Mettaton" I gasped, the robot chuckled standing up taller on it's single wheel "there's something you must know human" he uttered. His voice was surprisingly low, he was quieter than usual, his tone sounded almost disheartened.

"Alphys isn't who you think she is".

~*~*~*~*~

I refused to believe him, it couldn't true. It couldn't be that Alphys had planned this, for Mettaton to attack me so she could play hero and make me stay. "But my dear~ Nothing brings more viewers than drama, and what better way to create drama than a plot twist?~".

As he shot up, the lights switching on and the door behind me slamming shut with a loud bang, there was a knock "w-what? T-t-the door locked so suddenly" it was Alphys, she was waiting outside. It couldn't be...Mettaton was telling the truth?

The ground beneath us began to rumble and soon we were rising, even if the scientist had managed to get the door open there would be a wall blocking her path. We stopped half way up the room, the ceiling closer then I felt comfortable with "ah yes~ It was I that hired all those to kill you. Why dear? Because if I had your soul for myself then Asgore won't be able to destroy all humanity"

"If he doesn't destroy all humanity then I'll pass through the barrier and have hundreds, thousands- no millions of people watching my show!" he exclaimed, clapping his hands with an excited squeal.

I let out a growl "you're going to let all of your people down here suffer while you go to the surface to get more views? Popularity?" I questioned. If the robot had lips I'm sure he would've pouted, he simply shrugged "why not?".

~*~*~*~*~

I was deep into the fight, I was running low on energy, trying to spare and talk to the male just wasn't working. I stopped preparing for the next plea when my phone let off a loud ring. I answered the phone, pressing it to my ear "h-hello! I-I-I know I can't s-see into t-t-the room b-but...i-if it helps. T-there's a switch on h-his back. I-i-if you g-get him t-to turn around t-then it w-w-w-w-would leave h-him v-vulnerable!".

The call ended with a click, I took a deep breath, my eyes wandering the room searching for anything I could use to distract him. I blinked as a thought popped into my head, I let out a small smile "hey Mettaton! There's a mirror behind you".

His lights stopped blinkering "oh? Right! I need to look my best for the grand finale!" he chirped, spinning on his wheel "where? I don't see it..." I glanced at his back, written across his back was switch with an arrow pointing downwards. There was a switch near the base of his square body.

I took a deep breath, and flipped the switch. Mettaton went rigid, "did you-" he paused "just flip-" for effect of course "my switch?" he finished. "Yes...?".

He let out a deep sigh "I see so you wanted to sneak peak of my final body for the première huh? Well just this once I'll let it slide~". I winced and covered my eyes as he burst into a puff of smoke "feast your eyes upon- Mettaton. Ex~" I coughed, waving my arm to disperse the smoke.

As the cloud faded I lifted my head from my arm mentally preparing myself for what I might see. Knowing Mettaton it could be anything from a toaster to a fish. You never know. My jaw dropped slightly as I gazed upon his 'final form', he stood tall, two finger pressed to his lips, one eye closed in a wink.

Curly brown hair fell in front of his face slightly, his legs were long, feet decorated with heeled boots. His outfit was made primarily of silver and black. There was a small box on his chest with buttons and a dial. On his stomach another box, except in this one there was a heart.

He still had his usual white gloves, the metal skin of his face was tinted pink slightly, his irises were a deep pink, flecks of purple and silver in the orbs. Lines ran down the sides of his face over his black eyelids, showing that his face was constructed of different stripes of metal.

There were threw lines running horizontally leading to his rounded ears. There were three bolts under his narrowed eyelids, and two above his eyebrows. As much as I hated to admit it, Mettaton -- was hot. I bit the inside of my cheek "why won't you let me spare you?" I questioned with a gulp.

He rose an eyebrow "because dear~ Then I will never gain more than my 7 faithful watchers" he pouted, his lips, seemingly painted black puffed out as he did so. I furrowed my brows as I hide to hide my heating cheeks, he rose a brow and leaned closer, one finger now on the centre of his bottom lip, eyes wide. "Oh~ Is the human- dare I say it...blushing?" He cooed.

I turned my head away and held out my hand in a vain attempt to stop him from coming closer, I took deep breaths as I tried to calm my rapidly beating heart. He let out a dramatic gasp as the graph on the screen behind him began to rise, it was views. We were at 8000.

The views were growing as he continued to move closer eventually he grabbed my wrist with his. His eyes were narrow, brows furrowed slightly. His orbs gave off somewhat of a sinister glint, and the edges of his lips curled up into a smirk. I inched back slightly, his grip on my wrist tightened and he slowly began to pull me closer. I glanced between his face as the graph, it was slowly increasing.

I furrowed my brows he was doing this on purpose, I tried to tug my arms from his grip, he pulled me close enough to wrap his other arm around my waist pulling my body flush against his own.

I let out a grunt as I struggled to pull away, he had been toying with me this whole time. He's strong, real strong. The views were over 9000 now (I just know someone's going to make a joke about that in the comments now -.- ). He let go of my wrist. I started beating on his metal chest "let me go!".

He leaned closer, pressing his forehead against my own. I let out a silent gasp, coming to a halt, he flicked his gaze from my eyes to my lips "w-what are you doing?" I whispered. Mettaton simply smirked "as they say...do it for the views~" in one swift movement he moved his face closer pressing his lips to mine. My eyes widened, I stared at his closed eyelids, before glancing at the graph. 10000.

I squeezed my eyes closed, trying to pull away. He cold metal lips felt odd against my own, he pulled back with a satisfied grin "we've hit 10000! That's amazing~!". He let me go to twirl in a circle. I wiped my lips with the back of my sleeve "jerk" I whispered.

Mettaton pouted "now, now that's not very nice" he tutted "I don't care! You took my first kiss! Something I treasured very dearly just for views, and you're going to do the same with my soul" I held my hands close to my chest. Over my heart and frowned.

Mettaton was silent, the views still began to rise at the drama between us two. He sighed and lowered his head, hair flopping down to cover his eyes. "I have reached the viewer milestone" he had little not no enthusiasm in his voice "which means a viewer will get the chance to speak with me before I leave the underground".

"Hi, you're on live T.V on our last show" he perked his head up with a small smile. The other line was silent for a moment "oh...hi-- Mettaton. I really liked watching your show...my life is pretty boring but--" the smile slowly dropped from his face.

"Seeing you on the screen...brought excitement to my life...vicariously I can't tell, but...I guess this is the last episode...? I'll miss you...Mettaton.........oh I didn't mean to talk so long....oh...".

"No! Wait! Wait, bu- H...They already hung up." Mettaton said dejectedly. He closed his eyes and offered another wide grin "I'll take another caller!" he exclaimed.

"Mettaton, your show made us so happy!"

"Mettaton, I don't know what I'll watch without you"

"Mettaton, there's a Mettaton shaped hole in my Mettaton shaped heart"

The heartbroken messages kept coming, Mettaton took a seat on the ground "ah...I...I see....Everyone, thank you so much." he paused for a moment, the smile on his face appeared broken.

"Darling, perhaps...it might be better if I stay here for a while. Humans already have stars and idols but monsters...they only have me" he flicked his eyes from the side onto me, his smile growing slightly. "If I left...the underground would lose its spark".

His face contorted into dramatic pain "I'd leave an aching void that can never be filled. So...I think I'll have to delay my big debut, besides...you've proven to be very strong". I bit my lip at his words, his smile was gentle "perhaps...even strong enough to get past Asgore. I'm sure you'll be able to protect humanity" he let out a shaky laugh, and rubbed his face with a deep sigh.

"It's all for the best anyway. The truth is, this form's energy consumption is...inefficient" I let out a small gasp at his words, taking a step closer. "In a few moments, I'll run out of battery power, and...well" he chuckled, I bit my lip and knelt down in front of him.

"I'll be all right" he shook his head, his eyes closed and a smile "knock 'em dead, darlin' and everyone...thank you. You've been a great audience!".

Light flooded into the room causing the LED lights to dim "I managed to unlock the door! A-are you two...oh my God" it was Alphys. She ran to his side "Mettaton!" the chicken like monster exclaimed, her lab coat fluttering. M-Mettaton, are you...?".

She trailed off, she let out a sigh "thank God, it's just the batteries. Mettaton, if you were gone I would have...I-I would have...I m-mean...hey! I-it's n-no problem, you know? It's just a robot, i-if you messed up, I-I could always...j-just build another".

She turned to me "why don't you go on ahead? I...I just need a moment" she whispered, turning her attention back on Mettaton. He sat still facing forward, eyes unmoving. He had powered down, I bit my lip and nodded before leaning in and pressed my lips to his cheek "I'll see you around...Mettaton, and I'm gonna free you all" I whispered.

I pressed my hand to his cheek, my thumb gently caressing under his eyes. Alphys smile slightly and kept quiet through the moment, I cleared my throat and pulled my hand back "r-right so...I'm gonna go on ahead now" I declared as I stood up.

"Y-yeah, take care. I'll be with you soon" she replied, I stepped around Mettaton and towards the passage behind him. As I stood in the doorway I glanced over my shoulder, before sighing, shaking my head and continuing on.

I'll fix this I swear it to you Mettaton, when you wake up, we'll be able to see the stars together

To be continued....?
