Ok! Finally done with this part, took me longer than I hoped ^^'
The story I want to focus on takes place after the events of the game, but I thought it'd be fun to show Frisk and Starlite going through the underground together c:
If anyone's curious, I'll share more info about their journey below!
Firstly, Starlite would take place of Papyrus' battle (Im sure you can guess which role Papyrus would have ;) ). They would battle right after the events of the last part. I have an idea for how the battle would go, I may draw it out eventually, so I won't share anything about it for now.
For the rest of the journey Starlite would travel with Frisk and the two would grow to be friends.
During the Undyne chase, Undyne would try to avoid hitting Starlite, while still trying to get Frisk. Starlite would try to talk Undyne out of going after Frisk but they wouldn't be enough themselves to talk her out of it. Frisk's acting and sparing would be the final blows (like in the game!) Starlite and Frisk both agree to give Undyne some water at the end, too.
Now might be a good time to mention this would be a neutral timeline with Frisk choosing mercy over fighting.
I think Mettaton wouldn't want Starlite participating in the quiz or any of the puzzles & broadcasts, but they'd still do what they could to help Frisk out, such as whispering what they think the answers were (they got many wrong). Alphys should be present for the quiz too, I'll be honest I forgot to draw her and dont really feel like going back to add her.
Frisk kept a spider donut from the ruins so they get out of the fight early. Maybe the three of them enjoy some teatime together instead.
Starlite cheers from the crowd for Frisk during the Mettaton EX fight.
Asgore keeps Starlite out of the battle by closing them off with fire. Maybe Starlite threatens to attack if he keeps fighting Frisk, but being a monster themselves and being more used to Asgore being a gentle and kind ruler, they'd have trouble actually carrying out said threat. I dont want Asgore to die but I'm not fully sure how it'd be prevented.
And then Frisk and Starlite would battle and spare Flowey together.
Afterwards? Well I'll show that in the next part of the comic.
Fun fact! Aside from Frisk and Starlite, I had to come up with the other designs as I worked on this part, and aside from Mettaton EX (who was giving me too much trouble), I didn't make any reference sheets.. I do want to make reference sheets for them though. Whenever I do that, I'll probably post them and explain the reasons for their designs cause I have fun with them and would love to share the thoughts behind them! Even Frisk, Starlite, and Papyrus.
