[Lyric] XTALE VIII - METTATON (Jael Pealoza)

[XGASTER]
Close your eyes. Let the darkness embrace your soul.
You will find a small fragment of light.
Give it a form, a texture... any single detail you can think of.
Once you are done, release the power of your soul in your hand...
...and you will have created something.
This is how you use the Overwrite button.
This concludes your first lesson.
I created this timeline for you to explore your powers to its fullest.
You can do your homework while I am absent.

[X!FRISK]
Where are you going?

[XGASTER]
I need to visit a few places for... some personal research.
Alphys will assist you in case you need something.
Take your time, and most importantly... have fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[X!CHARA]
We just needed to understand each other.
Everything is better now. We're finally happy, don't you think so?
That's why we gotta do our best to make XGaster proud.
Thanks to him, we're not in hell anymore.

[ENTRY NUMBER 0. TIMELINE NUMBER 8]
THE X-EVENT HAS MADE ITS FIRST CREATION.

[X!FRISK]
Welcome to life, Mettaton! I'm your creator.

[XTALE!METTATON]
Hello. My body feels weird.

[X!FRISK]
Yeah, sorry about that. I don't know how to create arms and legs at all...
Alphys is helping me with that, so you'll be ready in a few hours-
Heheh, don't chew on the cables!
I need you to listen carefully.
XGaster has high expectations of us. We're gonna make a good first impression, okay?
We will show him our creations can be perfect the way they are-
STOP EATING MY HEART LOCKET!
ROBOTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN APPETITE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[XGASTER]
...Mettaton?

[X!FRISK]
Yes! I used some of the data compilation.
He likes to dance, eat all the time...
Oh! And his saber can cut anything!

[XGASTER]
A weapon... Why?

[X!FRISK]
Because he's my friend... and also my guardian!

[XGASTER]
Why would you need a guardian?

[X!FRISK]
I... don't know... I just thought it would be cool.

[XGASTER]
Not bad for your first attempt, experiment.
Now destroy him.
[X!FRISK]
Wh-what!? But you just say that-

[XGASTER]
I TOLERATE your foolish idea. Your creation... is hideous.
I am the one in charge. I decide what is useful and what is not.
You will be able to keep your creations once your training is completed.

[X!FRISK]
I-I don't understand... What did I do wrong?

[XGASTER]
Hurry up. We still have more work to do.
If you can't do it, then I will.

[X!FRISK]
NO, WAIT!
GIVE HIM A SECOND CHANCE, PLEASE!
WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAVE TO END UP LIKE THIS!?

[XGASTER]
Welcome to your lesson number 2.
"Evolution requires sacrifice".

[X!CHARA]
STOP IT!
WHY DO YOU BELITTLE MY EFFORTS!?
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?
I'M TIRED!!!
I'M TIRED OF YOU.

[X!FRISK]
I-I'm sorry! He wasn't supposed to attack you...!

[XGASTER]
...Your training will get more intense from now on.
Assistant, clean up this mess.

[XTALE!ALPHYS]
You're going to be a problem.

[ENTRY NUMBER 1. TIMELINE NUMBER 8]
THE X-EVENT TRIED TO REBEL AGAINST ME.
IT SEEMS I GOT OVERCONFIDENT THINKING I HAD THEM UNDER CONTROL.
EVEN SO, THE FACT THAT THE EXPERIMENT CAN USE ITS OWN CREATIVITY IS VERY INTERESTING.
