Can someone find that one frame of TMWAN (The Man Who Assassinated Nim) and his kid made by Joku? The drawing also had Neil in it, and TMWAN was to the left in the background holding his daughter. I need it and I lost the image months ago and I don't know where it can be found :')
Whenever humans entered the Underground they tended to avoid weapons, most choosing to wander peacefully through the towns. Unaware of what fate was leading them to. Of course, most of the humans had been tiny, little things. Rarely did they wear stripes, but it was easy to tell that they had to be young. Most barely reaching their teen years.
But this human, this one was different.
Taller, for one thing. Eyes no longer full of the curious wounder many of the little ones had as they stumbled through. Theirs were constantly darting everywhere, and they had spent a good portion of their adventure pointedly not interacting with the Monsters. They were careful to bolt at every encounter in hopes that the attacker would not give chase, and they would have made it to the Kingdom had they kept going.
But darling, Mettaton had other plans.
A mystery like that! Oh it just had to be caught! And capture it he would! On live TV as well! For all of Monster kind to see! There would be lights! Interviews! Dangerous acrobatics in the form of interpretive dance! And the humans true colors would shine through!! All thanks to Mettaton!
And oh, did they show.
Somewhere between Speed Building and the Intermission Mettatons “quick change” turned into a… not so quick change. One that involved him becoming tangled in the wiring that hung from the ceiling for various reasons. Easily restricting his movement. Thankfully! He was somehow able to strike a candied pose for when the cameras began to roll!
And the human… well the human was left standing in front of him.
The little thing was frail in a way none of the others had been, unable to really lift the chainsaw Mettaton had left lying around as a prop for his next big show (Death Defying Stunts and How They Bring Out the TRUE You! ) but eventually they found a power within themselves to hold it.
In his defense, no one knew the chainsaw was working. But it did, and as the human revved it to life something glittered in their eyes that made the studio turn cold.
They looked to Mettaton and started towards him. Long, purposeful strides so unlike how they had been before. Mettaton knew should have been happy! For the human was finally coming out of their little shell - They would going to show their true selves to the entire Underground- but all he could focus on was the way their mouth twisted into an almost feral grin.
There were no words spoken, no grand welcome for the viewers on screen. Just the glint of steel as the human stalked towards Mettaton, a look of pure elation in their eyes.
The motor thrummed.
Maybe his viewers thought the human was going to help him down? Maybe the chainsaw was going to be used to cut the wires? That surely had to be the only reason no one stopped it right then and there. Alphys had control of the cameras, so surely if she was watching she would have cut them off the second she saw something terrible. Surely she would have called the Guard.
“GHHK—”
There was no grandiose swing. No warning when the human cut through his arm. Sparks flew as a ringing similar to static burst into Mettatons ears.
He couldn’t feel anything, and then suddenly he could feel everything. Like the burning cold pain that came with such a strong intent radiating off the humans soul to hurt something. Anything.
To hurt him.
“OHHHHHHHhhhhh Fu-DARling~” He shouted, catching himself just in time “No-Now! We–We don’t need to–”
The chainsaw revved again, and the human plunged it into Mettatons shoulder. A euphoria that only came with the terrifying adrenaline Mettaton was feeling shot through him all at once. As the human continued to forced it down more- towards the center of his chest- Mettaton could feel every vibration of the teeth ripping through his casing.
And then, it stopped.
Blessedly, it stopped. For one moment the chainsaw sputtered out and despite the knowledge that he should be in pain all Mettaton felt for a brief moment was a perfect numbness.
“What the–”
The first words the human had spoken. Sharp, devoid of any emotion, so much unlike the other humans that had once passed though.
The human began to tug at the Chainsaw. The crunching of Mettations internal wiring making his soul flip in disgust. The human continued to tug, face twisting into a scowl as the mechient refused to budge.
They gabbed the cord and yanked.
Nothing. The cord reeled back into its place. Mettaton breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fuckin piece of–”
The human yanked at the handle, cursing more when it refused to budge from Mettatons shoulder. The sickly tugging that came with it made Mettaton shudder, and then- coming back to life- wretch out a particularly horrid screech. They pressed a foot to the still intact casing of Mettatons body and yanked again, using their foot as leverage. Hissing over his screaming as they tried to dislodge the chainsaw from him.
The human huffed, finally stilling in their actions long enough for Mettaton to swallow the next scream threatening to release, For a brief moment it seemed like the world stilled.
Laziest doodle ever. I might as well start learning how to draw my future obsession (If Miraculous is anything to go by) I have to say I love the designs. Her superhero outfit is very detailed and beats Ladybug's hands down. To be fair, Ladybug should have gotten more than just spots. I hope the dynamic between this main two's personalities and interactions isn't a rip off of Miraculous. On a side note, I'm thinking that green gem has something to do with her powers or ability to stay as a human.
