Undertale Fallen Determination: Book 2

Chapter 12: Snowy Challenges

"Better not 'snow' flake out!" a Snowdrake joked. This duck-like monster with the feathers on his face making a snowflake-shape, a toothy grin in his beak, and a scaly belly, had engaged us in a fight along with his friend. Frisk and I decided to try splitting up (so to speak) to challenge each monster one-on-one between the two of us.

I gave a quick laugh at his bad joke, and the monster smiled, responding with, "See!? Laughs! Dad was wrong!"

After dodging some of his ice flake attacks, I told him, "heh, I thought that was pretty good. It was a pretty 'cool' joke of yours."

The monster's excitement ended, as he just stared at me in disbelief. "Ugh, I've heard that one."

"Eh... guess you win them all." I gave the drake a thumbs up, signaling the end of our battle, and he fluttered off.

Looking over, it seemed Frisk was doing pretty good without me. She was fighting an Ice Cap monster, a small snowman monster with big eyes and a carrot nose... and a big ol' ice-crystal hat. At least it was for the moment...

The narcissistic monster was annoyed that Frisk wasn't paying attention to its "cool" hat (hey, just because Snowdrake or Sans aren't around, doesn't mean I'm done with bad puns), but eventually, it was defeated in trying.

However, it seemed that wasn't Frisk's plan. Once it stopped sending icy waves at Frisk, and it stopped paying attention to her, the mute girl snuck up to Ice Cap... and stole his hat! (Which promptly melted in her hands...), and the monster turned into a cube of ice. I guess without its "Ice Cap", it was now just "Ice" (and no, I will not stop with the puns).

"Well, what's the point..." he said dejectedly. With him being Ice Cap no more, it just sat there.

But then Frisk gave him a thumbs up, and that seemed to cheer Ice up. "So I can still impress you?" Seemingly happy with his new identity, the new ice cube monster slid away.

"Hey, good job! I knew you could do it!" I exclaimed.

Frisk looked up at me and signed, it was scary. I don't want to do it without you. Tears welled in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay. Look, I won't always be there to help, but for now, I will be watching you. And I want you to be able to become comfortable with monsters. If you can learn to become friends with them, they will be friendly to you. So, can you do this for me?"

Frisk didn't move for a bit, but then she excitedly signed, YES! I WILL!

"Okay, calm down. No need to get too excited. But thank you."

Frisk seemed a little confused by my response. I guess she didn't quite understand how important the monsters were to me. But still, I knew she didn't want to harm anyone anymore, so this was necessary.

We reached a small frozen pond, with a small "island" in the middle with a sign. There was something off to the left, but it was mostly out of view due to trees or such, so I couldn't make it out yet.

As we approached the frozen pond, something else walked out from behind the trees. "hey."

"Hey, Sans," I greeted the skeleton, while Frsik gave a nervous wave.

"i just wanted to tell you something important to remember."

"Yeah?"

"see, my brother has a very... special attack. if you see a blue attack-"

"Don't move and it won't hurt you?" I interjected. "I've seen that kind of magic before. We even just dealt with someone who tried using it on us."
