Operation: Moonhopper - Briefing video

Threatened by the existence of a self-replicating network of defense and surveillance probes, A small number of Alternian forces were deployed in the Tampixa system with the task of eliminating the matrix’s primary infrastructure. These 4 ships entered the system’s Oort cloud at strategic intervals by hiding behind its planets relative to the matrix’s primary vantage, allowing them the chance to lie dormant until an adequate window was available to attack the primary control facilities on Tampixa’s 4 moons. Despite the preparation, two ships failed within moments of their initial penetration. One was later sacrificed in an effort to compensate for the other two.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS IN NO WAY THE ACTUAL PLOT OF THE NEXT EPISODE. THIS IS JUST A FAN'S PIPE DREAM OF HOW THE NEXT EPISODE MIGHT PLAY OUT. GLITCHTALE BELONGS TO CAMILA CUEVAS. THAT BEING SAID, ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT SHE DOES FIND OUT THIS THING EXISTS, SHE IS ALLOWED TO USE AS LITTLE OR AS MUCH AS SHE LIKES OF THIS CREATION AS LONG AS SHE GIVES ME CREDIT. THIS APPLIES TO THE REST OF YOU. 

 Without further ado, let us begin. 

 This begins with a narration of Dr. Gaster thinking that he is a failure. Sans wakes up in utter agony. Meanwhile, Gaster finishes fighting the blobs and heals Papyrus. They all discover Sans, who screams in pain as the narrative ends.

 Mettaton is seen being carried off to an abandoned building, which is discovered to have the highest source of magical energy in the surrounding area. He confesses to everyone how he is a failure, but Muffet and Isabelle are quick to tend to him and say that he’s a stellar person. Mettaton says his thanks, but says that he wants real friends who say that instead of admirers. The others protest before Muffet backs up and says that she did admire him a little. But Isabelle doesn’t, comforting Mettaton and improving her skills as a therapist. Later, she kills a bug and realizes they’re all coming from the same source. She screams, and Muffet and Mettaton rush toward her. 

 While Toriel is watching Chara fight Betty and fending off some of the pink blobs, Asgore has a premonition and tells Toriel he needs to go. Toriel protests a little, but Asgore tells her the last time that he ignored his premonition, someone extremely important to Dr. Gaster and him died (Gaster’s wife). Toriel’s relationship with him is more strained than ever, and Toriel starts to berate him, paying attention less and less with every insult. Because of the insults, Asgore fights less and less effectively, and when a blob takes down Toriel without her noticing, she is almost killed by it. Asgore overcomes it with his emotional resolve to save his wife, and he manages to at least form a shield to stop it from stabbing Toriel before someone else takes over. After thanking him, Asgore leaves, but just as he sees someone, he yells out just before we see a blob tackle Asgore.

 Betty sends Asriel to go “take care of something. You know what.” I don’t do very well with fight scenes at all, so let’s just say that Chara gets his booty kicked and has to have his mommy take him home. Betty does get overconfident, though, and for a moment, thinks she’ll be strong enough to control the HATE. But it takes over, revealing a frightening face. 

 Undyne tries to fight the Pink Blob on her own, but she eventually gets hurt, especially after memories of Alphys bog her down. They’re minor injuries, but members of the AMD see what’s happening and start to lure the creature over to a room near the AMD’s old headquarters, where they’ve hooked up massive generators next to the spotlights. Just as the blob is about to kill her, Rave gives the order for the spotlights to fire, and the blob explodes. 

 Later, Papyrus is in Sans’ room, calming Sans down. Rave calls and asks if he can speak to Jessica, and with a heavy heart, he tells Rave what happened. After hearing Sans in pain, Dr. Gaster is beside himself with both his son’s and Jessica’s death. He steps out on the street without looking, and immediately, he sees Dr. Gaster yelling for him “not to do it” before he is tackled by a blob. Dr. Gaster saves him and invites him inside. When Dr. Gaster asks him how Sans is doing, Dr. Gaster just shakes his head and cries. Asgore says hello to Sans and thanks him for what he did to save Asriel. Dr. Gaster sobs like a child. Dr. Gaster comes over to comfort him and says nothing but, “I know. I know.” and patting him on the back. 

 Once Mettaton and Muffet rush to where Isabelle is screaming, they realize she is screaming at a.corpse on the ground that almost looks exactly like Isabelle, down to the hair. They start to cover the body with what blankets they can find, but Mettaton starts hallucinating visions from the past of Agate creating the Bete Noire, and staggers against the wall. He frantically sprints towards a stash of medieval paper, where he draws his picture of Agate creating Betty. Muffet screams, abandoning him and Isabelle to be by themselves. Mettaton, horrified, whispers that they “have to warn the others”. As he looks over at the corpse and his painting, flashes of the hallucination pop up on the screen. 

 The Hate takes over for a few minutes, and during that, Chara gets his booty kicked and Tori has to take him home. But this weakens Betty to the point where Chara makes a cut on her ear that’s permanent, but covered by her hair. This is a huge blow to Betty’s pride. Chara passes out, but he smiles at the prospect of Betty actually being hurt. 

 Undyne is in shock as she finds out that a powerful-enough blast of magic can kill even the strongest of Betty’s minions and wonders how and if this will be effective on Betty herself (she hasn’t witnessed the fight between her and Mettaton). Undyne asks what happened before Rave comes out. Undyne starts to berate Rave for what Ronan told her. Realizing that she left Ronan behind, Undyne starts sprinting out the door before Rave can say anything. Rave chases her all the way to where Ronan was, and when Undyne picks up Ronan and starts to heal him, Rave says that he was the one who gave the order to fire the spotlights. Undyne berates him again, but Ronan says he’s had a rocky relationship with Ronan in the past because of Jessica’s irresponsibility for her daughter and Ronan being a part of her job, which contributed to Alina’s death. He says, with a melancholy tone, “Believe me. If Ronan was awake, I’d probably be knocked unconscious somewhere.” Undyne asks what happened, and Rave tells her of Jessica’s death. Undyne remembers the conversation Jessica and her had about her guilt over killing Alphys and starts crying. Rave, in a more sentimental gesture, sits next to her. He tries to put his hand on her shoulder, but Undyne pushes it off. Ronan wakes up, revealing he’d watched the whole thing unfold. Undyne remembers Papyrus and says she has to take care of someone. She walks off to the distance. The camera pans out.
