This will not be a full story. What you are seeing here is how the story of Lianna and the Underground could have been twisted had this story taken place earlier, with Lianna being the fourth human to fall rather than the seventh - assuming Charlie and Frisk find themselves in the Underground before Lianna. At this specific time period, things would be different enough for the story to be pushed into another direction - while remaining similar enough to have each character within it to remain the same.

After Papyrus runs, Lianna does not actively give chase, though she follows his path. Eventually, they meet again in the basement of Papyrus' house, where Lianna finds Papyrus in the middle of destroying her way back to her family.

Mortified, Lianna's fear turns to anger. She lashes out at Papyrus, only for Papyrus to remain confused. Unsure of what to do, Papyrus fights back once more - This time, however, it is far from self defense. He tries to persuade Lianna into returning to the right path, to stop hurting people out of fear - though his words bounce off of Lianna's furor.

Papyrus does not stand the slightest chance.

He dies an almost pitiful death, uttering his final words:

"I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU!"

"Move."

Lianna's journey through Sunset Grove is silent. The few, scattered monsters she meets are struck down as fast as they arrive - and word quickly gets out about the danger. Lianna, with no guide, takes a much longer time to get through the forest - though she eventually finds herself at a completely evacuated Gradience. She confronts Charlie, who delivers a threatening message before retreating.

"You've already lost."

Believing himself a hero, Asriel confronts Lianna at the Scarlet River. They engage in a bitter argument that degrades into nothing short of trading insults, as neither actually listen to the other. Lianna is too focused on getting home alive, and Asriel is too focused on being the hero the Underground needs. Being the hero that will finally get everyone to believe he is stronger than he looks!

A fight breaks out, and Lianna has no assistance from the SOUL of Bravery, Adrian. It's a grueling battle, and Asriel pushes Lianna to the edge. Just as Asriel is about to deliver the killing blow to Lianna, Asriel stops to taunt her.

"You really are an idiot!"

Lianna breaks and attacks with a desperate scream.

Her fury is channeled into a magical blast of energy that completely obliterates Asriel, leaving nothing left but scorched earth.

Lianna's encounters throughout the Ruins are much more common than Sunset Grove. She almost finds herself happy after each encounter, feeling something primal burn inside of her with every speck of dust she scatters across the wind. Toriel is nowhere to be seen, and neither is Madelyn - Until the very end.

Madelyn attacks Lianna from behind, initiating a sudden fallout between them. Enraged at the loss of someone that her friend had loved, Madelyn finds herself in over her head - and she almost loses it.

The surge of magical attacks and projectiles latch on to Madelyn - and in the middle of the battle, she fuses with her body, finally being able to feel. She erupts into a burst of happy laughter and giddy movements, though Lianna does not laugh with her. The tension in the room skyrockets as Madelyn realizes something.

If she can feel things, that means she can also feel pain.

As Lianna inches closer, seeing Madelyn as nothing but an obstacle between her and her family... Fear flashes in Madelyn's eyes.

"W-We can talk this out! Right?"

"I'LL KILL YOU, TOO!"

At the last second, Toriel leaps into the battlefield and takes the blow, enduring a magical slash of searing hot energy to save Madelyn's life. Without needing to be told twice, Madelyn bolts - She runs, and she lives, able to enjoy her newfound feeling after she calms herself.

Toriel, the most magically adept and powerful monster in the entire Underground, is nearly killed in a single blow. She barely holds on, and on the verge of death, looking into her murderer's eyes... She realizes something.

"You...!"

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SON!?"

She realizes that if this human - if you could even call Lianna human anymore, considering her state of mind - was to pass her here, that it would not just be her son to fall to her magic. She realizes that her one goal her entire life was to keep her loved ones safe... and the only way to do that is to stay alive.

To kill the human in front of her.

Fueled by the Determination to save the lives of thousands, the rage of losing her son, and the terror of losing her other children...

Toriel stands back up and uses fire magic to cauterize her own wound.

"I, Toriel Dreemurr, swear on the graves of every single human and monster, felled by your blade or not, that you will NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN!"

"Hell will be a vacation when I'm finished with you."

A brutal duel cloaks the battlefield in hellfire, scattering embers across the wind more abundantly than the ash of the monsters who encounter Lianna. Lianna feels no fear in the face of the heroine of the Underground, but excitement. She sees this encounter as a challenge. Her original goal was once to see her family, but now, that goal is long since lost to her. She thirsts for power, and with each strike, she gets it.

She has gone completely mad.

The battle between Lianna and Toriel the Torrefying is long, violent and forceful - It shakes the very mountain itself and scorches everything around them. Lianna is left with several horrid burns and is almost defeated.

After a long and vicious battle, Toriel the Torrefying is struck down. Lianna leaves, satisfied, before the overflow of Determination can finish painfully dissolving her.

On her journey throughout Atlantis, Lianna is constantly ambushed by Undyne. An onslaught of magic is thrown her way at every corner, and Lianna has never been more on-edge. She is forced to find another way through the locked-down, empty city as Undyne chases her through the streets. (storySHIFT Season Six - Escape! would play during these moments)

Little does Lianna know, Undyne is funneling her right into her trap. At the end of Atlantis, Undyne corners Lianna and destroys the way out, leaving Lianna with one path forward - through her.

"You're gonna have to try a little harder than THAT!"

After a vibrant transformation, Undyne OVERDRIVE confronts Lianna and allows her to attack first, believing her strength to be far superior.

Despite her massive strength...

Undyne is struck down in one hit, obliterated by a blast of ineffably powerful raw magic.

Forced to take a detour, Lianna finds herself face-to-face with a location she never would have visited otherwise - the GENERATOR, the source of the Underground's magic and energy. She leaps and jumps her way through the massive machine in creative ways, as the machine is highly dangerous and not meant to be travelled through. Despite this, however, she feels... watched. Shadows move in the corner of her vision. Machinery moves in ways it shouldn't, as if manipulated by a phantom hand. Doors and hallways she was sure she closed are found open again.

She realizes now that Blue had vanished a long, long time ago. Lianna thinks they had made a good choice, as they definitely would've been killed by her by now. Blue was useless. Unworthy. How dare they think she had no chance in surviving, how dare they try to 'TEACH' her how to fight? How dare they.

Eventually, she makes it to the other side - a gigantic platform, seemingly a maintenance room for manual operation of the machine. Here, she meets exactly who had been following her...

...Though it is not who she expects.

At the end of the GENERATOR, Lianna is confronted by a strange figure. They seem very much in the know, very much aware of themselves - and they reveal that they have been following in Lianna's footsteps. They have been hurting. Destroying themselves. Distancing themselves from the one thing that made them THEM.

All for one goal - to strike Lianna down. The horror of what they've done to try and accomplish this dawns on them slowly but surely, and the depths of their mind have never been more tainted.

At the end of it all, Lianna finds herself facing the same thing she had in the story that should've happened...

A mirror of herself.

"There's something in me that tells me to run away. Something that tells me to hide. A burning, stinging feeling in my chest that screams the danger I'm in."

"But, I won't run away. I won't let you go free, not after you've taken everything from me. From everyone. You took Rei. You took Mom. You took Charlie. You took so much away from so many people."

"You want to see your family again, right? Is that why you're hurting everyone who gets in your way? It's a shame how what you do here comes back around to bite you in the ass, huh?"

"How do you think those families feel, knowing their children will never come home? Or perhaps the children themselves, wondering just where their parents have disappeared to for so long? You took away their family... So, I'm not going to let you see yours. Ever again."

Frisk and Lianna face off in the depths of the GENERATOR, with Frisk leeching energy from it to power up the light magic they use to fight. The GENERATOR itself crumbles throughout the fight, and Lianna and Frisk will find themselves desperately trying to stay alive through it all. The entire GENERATOR is the battlefield, and the soldiers are both fighting a losing battle. As the GENERATOR falls apart around them, both are pushed to the very limit, realizing things about themselves and each other that they'd never figure out otherwise.

"Let's dance, bitch."

At this specific time period, things would be different enough for the story to be pushed into another direction - while remaining similar enough to have each character within it to remain the same.

At the top of the GENERATOR, Frisk reveals their trump card. In a dazzling finale, Frisk unleashes an all-or-nothing attack - HYPER GONER. Both parties collapse from exhaustion as the attack sparks and dies out, and the entire Underground holds its breath, waiting, worrying, about who would be the first to stand.

Frisk does not wake up.

In the end, Frisk had not even taken a single blow - they had worked themselves beyond what was possible for their body, and died after their body shut down. Lianna simply leaves - satisfied. Nobody else blocks their path until they meet someone at the very end of their journey - in the judgement hall, Charlie awaits Lianna's arrival.

"You've really got a sick sense of humor, huh?"

Here, Charlie explains their thought process - and how Lianna has zero chance to walk away alive, revealing their SOUL: The SOUL of DETERMINATION.

"You have the power to come back after death, right?" Charlie says, taking a step towards them. "I have that power, too, along with something else - I can save segments of time, and revert the entire universe right back to that time period."

At this moment, Lianna realizes something. She had lost before it began - Just like Charlie had said.

As Charlie begins to RESET, overwriting Lianna's 'autosave' to set time back to where it started, before Lianna fell, Charlie leaves Lianna with one last witty remark.

"Sorry, not sorry."
