Someplace else, outside of everything known was a white room. Two doors leading into it, and in the center was a glass table with two chairs. One of the doors would open up revealing Vape and two others, one that looked like 404 and the other was a rainbow skeleton with a white cloth covering his lower half. Vape walked over to the center of the room and grazed his hand on the table.

"Whay makes you think he'll hand him over to us? From what I've heard this guy is a narcissist." Said the 404 lookalike

"I'm certain he will." Vape said, a smile on his face as he pulled his seat out and sat it in, the rainbow skeleton summoned a floating arm and pushed the chair in for him. The 404 lookalike looked at the rainbow skeleton and then to the other door. They all stood there remaining silent.

"How are you certain?" Said the 404 lookalike

"Because I said so." Said Vape, the 404 lookalike wanted to say something, but held his tongue. He didn't want to ruin whatever er plan Vape had, so he just folded his arms.

"This figure says he may have information about Hara and the soul of independence, if he does then I'll engage with him on the matter of which he wants. However if hes lying then this will all be over." Vape said

"Lets hope so, for his sake." Said the rainbow skeleton. Thats when the other door would open. Vape and his party looked up to see two people walk through a gray woman with short hair and pale white skin. Surrounding her were many arms, she wore a white dress with a sort of belt like thing wrapped around her waist. The 404 lookalike looked at her and got a bit flustered at her appearance. In one of her arms she was holding a leash, connected to it was a dog, he looked down to see it was nonother than the annoying dog. However when he looked to Vape all he saw was him looking at the man who entered.

It was him, the one man Vape wanted to meet. The man he had been hunting down and trying to lure out his entire life, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity...meeting him was like meeting with everything at once, he was the cause and effect...he was reason. He was...

Mr.UnderTale

Vape's eyes looked to the woman next to him, it was his secretary-

Holiday

"Well, you have my attention." Said Mr.UnderTale as he walked over towards Vape who stood up and walked to him. Holiday stood behind him, her black heels clicking with the echoes of her movement.

"I'm glad you've decided to take my actions seriously, it can't be often you descend from on high to grace this world with your pressence." Vape said, his eyes focused on Mr.UnderTale as his two floating eyes looked at him as well. The beating hear that floated above his mouth ever still, showing his lack of excitement. Mr.UnderTale walked around the room, he then touched the white wall; wiping his hand aginst it.

"Do you believe in destiny?" He asked

"...I don't, grand designs never suited me. The world only bends in the interest of those in charge." Vape said

"Good answer." Mr.UnderTale said as his blue eye turned around to face him.

"So tell me, what was your interest in meeting with me? And to bring along such interesting company. Zenith and Prism. Tell me, did he open your eyes to the true reality of this world too? To its darker secrecy and perverted knowledge." Mr.UnderTale asked, Zenith looked at Prism who looked at him too.

"He told me. He told me all about." Zenith said

"...You're lying." Mr.UnderTale said, to which Zenith looked at him in a bit of disbelief.

"How so exactly?" Zenith asked

"If he had told you everything about me, then you wouldn't be here. Existing as you are, with the existence that you carry to floatingly. Completely unaware of your piece on this absurd board of rules and regulations." Said Mr.UnderTale as he turned around on a heel and walked back over towards the table in the center. Vape's eyes looked at him.

"Do you still remember what I taught you that faithful day? That day where you decided everything. Do you remember?" Asked Mr.UnderTale, all Vape could do was stare at him with a cold stare. As he did; he would be taken back to it. The moment thay decided everything for everyone, something he could never take back. That moment which was now fintuned into every Au of every Omniverse, of every world here and beyond it.

Flashes of the past began to flood his mind, a younger Vape was on his knees, on his knees at a blood red sea. Waves crashing everywhere around him while Mr.UnderTale stood in front of him. In Vape's hands was a mask with a creepy smiley face on it and in front of him was the body of dead blond boy, his face buried in the cold dead waters that surrounded him.

Vape looked up at him and Mr.UnderTale looked down at him. Vape's eyes reopened as he was back in the white room again, Mr.UnderTale looking at him with a wide grin and his eyes in ecstacy, he then walked over to his seat. Holiday pulled out his chair and then pushed it in as he sat down. Mr.UnderTale then moved his gloved hand over the table revealing a chessboard. Vape looked at him.

"Won't you play with me? Play with me once more, with the lives of those you so carelessly discarded before. The lives that you choose for, all for a second chance to catch the one that got away with that which would grant you your heart's desire.

Or should I say...soul's desire." Said Mr.UnderTale, Vape then closed his eyes as he walked back to his seat and sat down in front of him. The two looking to one another. Zenith and Prism focused on the game about to happen. The inevitable decision about to be made. Here they had a chance to witness a choice beyond choices, a decision nonother could make; but Vape. Vape looked at the chessboard, on it were designed pieces. Pieces which looked like every soul from every Omniverse that was, would be and may never be. It wasn't chess, this was life they were playing with. Stories better to say. Mr.UnderTale immediately grabbed the classic sans piece and placed it forward.

"Starting out strong aren't we?" Vape asked

"I never make a wrong boy, you know that. In life every move must be precise and perfect. Otherwise it isn't really a move now is it." Answered Mr.UnderTale as he fixed his gloves and leaned back, Vape looked at his pieces. His eyes moving up and down. Underneath the board he could see multiple holes, each one leading to different windows into each soul of the world.

"Tell me, what does it mean to be free? To be beyond decisions and reasons to make them. Is it to be God? A God perhaps, does God decide everything or are we simply living in the illusion that we have control over something we never had; when I look at you I don't see a puppet on strings. I see someone who has made every choice not to be, someone who's decided to hold no ties to this world or any other. If God created man and us in his image then there's no way I or you should be here. If we're here does that mean God is dead?

Does that make us the ones pulling the strings? Or are we still living in an illusion of control?" Mr.UnderTale asked

"I don't believe in control, its narcissistic and depriving. Control is something that someone wants when they feel they never had it. Control is a matter of belief in one's own self. That they are the ones who caused their own fate and destiny.

Yet if destiny and fate don't exist than what is there to control, nothing. Notbing; but yourself. And if your all that can be controlled and no one can control you. Then you are God, everyone is God over they're own lives. God is the illusion and denial of freedom entirely. Those that believe in such a figure are doomed to forever be slaves to the very thing they believe gave them freedom." Vape said as he then moved a piece that looked just like 404. Mr.UnderTale's blue looked at Vape's move with his other eye remaining focused on him. He smirked as he touched each of his pieces before stopping on one that looked like a raging red skeleton.

"Very philosophical, very forward. So tell me, do you intend to beat that boy with that? Or do you have a actual goal in mind?" Mr.UnderTale asked

"I intend to retrieve what he and Hara stole. Right now he's trying to find his other. He wants to give it to him." Vape said

"If he gets that soul, he'll have full control over the entirety of each outcome, he'll be in control." Said Mr.UnderTale as he moved the raging red skeleton two spaces forward. As he did the white room's walls and interior began to change, it began to reflect events happening at this very moment with 404 and Infected, events to happen in the future and even some from the far past. It flashed them vividly.

"I know. Thats why I wanted to talk with you." Vape said, Mr.UnderTale looked at him.

"I don't want you to interfere. Chris's fate is mine to handle. If I'm not the one to do it then she'll inact her anger over everyone. I can't have that." Vape said as he moved a piece that tooled like King Multiverse. He moved him forward and then to the left.

"Becauae then the fun will end." Mr.UnderTale said

"..."

"The longer you deny your part in these poor soul's misery. The longer you will take to find him. Realizing the fun in all this is the key to realizing what it means to him, hes currently huddled away in his own little nook. Far away from prying eyes. He's making fun of you yaknow.

Playing God over these lives, I see it all the time. God likes to watch, hes an observer first and a helping hand never. He likes to watch, to tease, to manipulate and of course...kill." Mr.UnderTale said, the annoying dog barked before it laid down next to him. Vape looked at Mr.UnderTale. his eyes still cold and staring with indifference.

"You must learn to realize what it is that drove them to this point. Look around you, witness and see what it is he desires and then use it to find the one you seek. The longer you deny that your the one who made him. The harder it will be to find him. He is your shadow afterall and Hara is your face. He did take your eye didn't he." Mr.UnderTale said, Vape felt his eyepatch before he then attempted to move him piece.

"Ah! It's my turn." Mr.UnderTale said, Vape then leaned back and gestured for him to make his move. Zenith was trying his best to keep up with what was happening while Prism just watched with his hands folded.

"What is this? I'm piecing togther only bits here. What does this game mean?" Zenith asked

"...They're moving them." Prism said to which Zenith looked at him curious.

"With each piece they are a life, its a path. Each path for each character of every world being decided right here and now." Prism said

"...Then where am I here?" Zenith asked

"You don't have a path Zenith, you've been making your own. Defying the logic and rules of the world. This one and many others of course." Prism said, Zenith looked at him curious as he looked back at the board.

"Whay do you see when you look at these pieces? Do you see lives? Do you see hopes? Dreams maybe? Or do you just see pieces." Mr.UnderTale asked

"...Why don't you tell me." Vape said

"Hehe, I cannot change what you see. Everyone has they're eyes they see the world through, rather its blind or not is irrelevant to the staring contest." Mr.UnderTale said as he then slamned all his pieces together morphing them into one entity. He then closed his palm and crushed them only to reveal them all as a heart, a soul. A beating red soul.

"Lives are like a soul, they're only good so long as its still beating. That's what he said, but the question is do you see it? Or are you simply pretending to believe that." Mr.UnderTale said as he then looked at the soul with his eyes, immediately the soul turned to ash. He then shook the ash out of his hand revealing billons to trillions of tiny omniverses in his hand. Vape kept looking at him.

"He wants this, he wants to make it so that they all are in his palm. Like a video game he toys with them, choosing characters. Looking through they're eyes like a pair of glasses, and once he has them all." Mr.UnderTale said as then all the Omniverses smashed togther creating something else, it was a massive structure of white orbs and circling each other like an orbit.

"Sir, its almost time." Holiday said. Mr.UnderTale nodded as he kept his eyes on Vape who looked at him too. Mr.UnderTale then made trillions of the same structure in his hand, still small and all in his palm.

"With the independent soul, he'll no longer be in your power to stop. You said you didn't want me to interfere, well this is your chance to show me I don't have to.

I didn't design this so that I could watch you fail. God only plays when he's interested, and never before that." Mr.UnderTale said

"...The Crio..." Prism said, Zenith recognized them too. Mr.UnderTale then blew them away and snapped his finger, Holiday then walked over and handed the annoying dog over to Zenith. Vape looked at the exchange and then back to Mr.UnderTale.

"Why?" Vape asked in the same cold tone.

"Consider it my donation, I reckon he'll be interested once you have something else he wants. Use him, lure him out and he'll soon follow the design you claim dosent exist. Heheh, your fascinating Lucas. Never before have I been in the presence of someone who can play on my same mental field.

Its not often I get a chance to be interested. You've interested me. Pray you keep it." Mr.UnderTale said as he then stood up. He then walked over towards the other door with Vape still sitting in his chair. Holiday following behind Mr.UnderTale. He then stopped and turned around, he gave out one last chuckled before he opened the door.

"Do this right, and I'll show you a real room with stakes. Deliver the independent soul to me and I will guarantee you a seat. One in a place where no world can touch and no God can decide.

Its truly splendid. I promise. Promise me you'll keep my interest? Or is being a Sans make you a automatic promise breaker?" Mr.UnderTale asked, Vape tilted his head at him.

"And you?" Vape asked, Mr.UnderTale smiled widely as he left. Vape continued to sit in his seat as he grabbed the 404 piece.

"So we have the bait, now all we need is the game." Prism said

"So...that was him huh?" Zenith asked, Prism looked at Zenith and then to Vape who was focused on the piece.

"Yes, Mr.UnderTale. What perfect name for the one who brought it all into fruition.

The perfect embodiment of everything it means to be related to UnderTale and yet he is so...unlike it. But isn't thag what it means to design something, to make whay you want. Not to make yourself." Vape said

"He was as narcissistic as you said." Prism said

"No, hes not. Hes selfless, hes a helping hand." Vape said

"Yet it also has throns." Zenith said

"The perfect one, true neutrality. He doesn't yet does care. He's everything yet nothing at all.

Hes just...God." Vape said
