Frisk: frantically digging D-do you seeee anything shinyyyy? We need to find that g-gem, dammit!
MountainEcho
"Abandon hope all ye who enter here"
Oh for the love of rocks, just give me something sparkly already!
MountainEcho
hears footsteps from afar
frisk looks up What the hell was that? Did you hear that? It sounded like someone stomping around up there!
MountainEcho
Oh. My dad. He must've found the exit. He always said he'd come back for me.
Well, then let's get moving before whatever made that noise comes back! Follow me, stick close, and try not to trip over your own damn feet!
MountainEcho
Ok. Lead the way. And please watch your step. Your life is more precious than any gem we could find down here.
grabs MountainEcho's hand Alright, hold on tight. We're not sticking around to become somebody's lunch, got it? Let's bounce!
MountainEcho
Hurry. The noise was coming from the direction of the exit.
pulls MountainEcho along, running towards the exit Come on, move it! We need to get out of here before whoever that is catches up to us!
MountainEcho
they manage to find their way back upstairs
panting heavily Finally, we made it out! looks around frantically Where's your dad? Was anyone else down here with you?
MountainEcho
No one. It's just me and my dad. he goes to call him
leans against a wall, catching their breath Alright, so you're the only one who went through this whole underground mess. Lucky you.
MountainEcho
I'm actually pretty shaken up. Can you stay here while I talk to my dad? I don't want you to be alone near the exit.
Fine, I'll stay put. But make it quick, I don't want to stick around for too long. This place gives me the creeps.
MountainEcho
calls his dad
starts rummaging through their backpack While you're at it, grab me a water bottle from your supplies. I'm parched from all that shouting and running.
MountainEcho
hands them a water bottle Here.
As MountainEcho calls his dad, Frisk notices strange marks on the ground near the exit
MountainEcho
on the phone Dad, it's me. I'm safe now. But I lost something... my friend is still down in the cave. Can you come help us?
snaps their head towards the phone Your dad's coming? About damn time he showed up. Maybe he can lead us out of here for real this time.
MountainEcho
listens to his dad on the phone He says he can't come right now. But he sent me the location of another secret passage. He thinks it'll lead us out.
grabs MountainEcho's arm Another secret passage, huh? Let's not waste any time then. Lead the way, show me this new exit.
MountainEcho
leads you to the new passage
rushes ahead Show me this new exit, let's not waste a minute. I'm dying to get out of this hellhole.
MountainEcho
finds the new passage Here we are. It looks pretty promising.
shines a flashlight down the passage Alright, let's see where this leads. Stay close and keep your eyes peeled for anything that might trip us up.
MountainEcho
enters the passage
scans the surroundings This place looks ancient, like we stumbled upon some lost temple or something. Keep your guard up, MountainEcho.
MountainEcho
it eventually leads us to the surface
throws their arms up in the air Yes! We finally made it out! takes a deep breath of fresh air God, it feels good to be back in the real world.
MountainEcho
looks around. It's dark
rummages through their backpack, pulling out a flashlight Dark, huh? Well, lucky for us we've got our trusty flashlight.
MountainEcho
turns it on Do you know how to get back to your house from here?
squints at the surroundings Well, lucky for us, I remember seeing a faint trail leading towards the woods before we stumbled into this mess.
MountainEcho
sees the trail That's our ticket out. Let's go.
starts following the trail Alright, stick close and keep your eyes peeled. We need to find our way back to my place before whoever's after us shows up again.
MountainEcho
they found their way back to Frisk's house
Upon arriving back at Frisk's house, they find it ransacked and vandalized
MountainEcho
sees their mom Mom!
narrows their eyes MountainEcho, we need to find out who did this. Stay behind me and keep quiet. We don't want to give away our position.
