Hello folks. Trenton Sands here. Back with another fanfic about the new Netflix series that's all the rage right now call Haunted Hotel.


Haunted Hotel


fanfic title:


From Undervale With Love.


by: Trenton Sands




Scene 1:



In a hotel called Undervale. There lived a single mother named Katherine. Who inherited a haunted hotel from her deceased older brother Nathan. Tonight, Ben and Esther were trying to take over for her while Katherine is in the hospital with an abcess. Esther conjured up an illusion doppleganger spell to make it look like Katherine was still at the desk checking in guests. Ben and Esther called it Pseudo Katherine.


Pseudo Katherine (checking in guests): Okay you guys are all set. I hope you enjoy your stay here at Undervale.


The guests walk upstairs to their room. Then Pseudo Katherine disappears.


Ben: Shit! Esther! Conjure up another illusion doppleganger spell to make it seem like Mom is still here.


Esther (rolling her eyes): Okay, I'm on it.


Ben watches as Esther tries to make another batch of illusion doppleganger spell but is out of ingredients.


Esther: Hate to say this, but this is the last of the ingredients I used.


Ben: Way to go! You know we have to keep up with charade when Mom is still in the hospital!


Esther: I already know! Question is, when the hell is Mom getting discharged?!


Ben: Sunday I think.


Esther: How long does it take for an abcess to be cured?


Ben: Search me. She's been in the hospital since Thursday.


A quick scene shows Katherine in the hospital sleeping. Until she is awakened my a Downstream Occlusion.


Katherine (screaming): WHAT IS THAT! WHAT IS THAT! THIS IS THE TENTH TIME THIS HAPPENED! NURSE! DOCTOR!!


Back at Undervale. Ben and Esther try to figure out something to create an image that Katherine is still working at the front desk.


Ben: Hey, I know. How about we try that bloody mirror over there?


Esther (walks up to the mirror): It's worth a shot.


Using a magic wand and talking in latin. Esther summons a human that resembles Katherine out from the bloody mirror. It worked.


Ben: It....worked!


Mirror Katherine: Where am I! Who am I! I'm a worthless piece of shit.


Esther: It did...but she doesn't know who she is.


Ben: Uhh, hello. You are the manager of this hotel. Your name is Katherine Freeling!


Mirror Katherine: Uh, okay.


As Mirror Katherine goes to work at the front desk. Ben and Esther sneak away.


Esther: I read in the spell book that if you make a clone of a family member, they act like they have extremely low self esteem. That's why she was insulting herself.


Ben: Makes perfect sense. Mom's always blaming herself for things. Especially Uncle Nathan's death even though he's a ghost now. Anyway, hopefully that should hold us off until Mom comes home.


Esther: Awesome! Now maybe we can have some time to ourselves.


Ben: Absolutely! And perhaps have an adventure!


Nathan (floats through the walls): Did somebody say adventure!


Esther: Uncle Nathan! Where have you been?


Nathan: Even we ghosts have to get away sometimes.


Stabby Paul comes through the walls to join Nathan.


Ben (skittish): Did he have to come along too?


Nathan (embarrased): He kind of blackmailed me into it. So I had no other choice


Stabby Paul: I told him I was going to tell the other ghosts how he died.


Nathan (laughs): He's got me there!


Ben: Any word on when Mom is getting out of the hospital?


Nathan: I snuck through the hospital walls to find that out for you. Should be Sunday.


Stabby Paul: Until then. We need your help with something kids!


Nathan: It's going to be a movie style adventure!


Ben: A movie you say? What are we talking about here? Mad Max? Indiana Jones, or what?


Stabby Paul: You won't find out standing there! Come with us and you'll see!


Nathan and Stabby Paul lead Ben and Esther into the party room where all the other ghosts from Undervale hung out.



Scene 2:



At the party room, Nathan and Stabby Paul take Ben and Esther to where all the ghosts were having a party. Ben sees Annabelle locking lips with another ghost who was a gangster.


Ben: Aww man! Annabelle! How could you! I thought I was your one and only.


Annabelle: It isn't working out, Ben!


Ben: Just my luck!


Gangster Ghost: Maybe you can have her when you're dead! Until then, SHE'S MINE!


Nathan: You'll forget about her as soon as you see what we have lying ahead.


Esther: So we're here in the party room with all these ghosts. Now what?


Nathan: Right right. Okay. We have reason to believe that one of these ghosts is a sleeper agent.


Ben: Is this going to be a spy mission?


Stabby Paul: Correct! (swings his knife)


Esther: What if we find the sleeper agent? Whoever it is?


Nathan and Stabby Paul take Ben and Esther to a control room. There were cameras and monitors all over the place where Nathan and Stabby Paul were spying on the ghost.


Ben: Wow! Looks like a secret military headquarters!


Nathan: What me and Stabby Paul found out doing some investigating is that whoever the sleeper agent is is a Russian Spy who is programed to go to Moscow to blow up America.


Ben: Wait..what! We actually have to go to Russia?


Stabby Paul: Yes we do. When we reveal who the sleeper agent is.


Esther: Russia? But but, we can't. What if Mom gets out of the hospital before we come back? She'll ground our asses for a year! Maybe even longer!


Ben: Esther is right. Mom will never let us hear the end of it. Is there another way around this without having to go to Russia?


Stabby Paul: You kids out of fucking minds! Other kids your age would love to do a spy mission with ghosts. What's more scarier? Being grounded or our country being nuked!?


Nathan: Oh come on kids! Don't you want to be "Spies Like Us?"


Stabby Paul: Yeah, or Skin Like Flint (laughs maniacally)


Nathan: Think that movie was called In Like Flint.


Stabby Paul: All right, sorry. My bad.


Ben: You win. We'll do it. (sighs) Goodbye freedom.


Stabby Paul: Goodbye Freedom? (points a knife at Ben and Esther) American Freedom will cease to exist if you guys don't help us stop this!


Nathan (points to the ghosts): Now observe. Any one of these ghosts is the sleeper agent.....


Ben (angerly): Bet it's Annabelle. Two timing whore!


Esther: How do we find out which one is the sleeper agent.


Watching the ghosts through the Control Room. Just then Abaddon walks into the party room


Abaddon: Where is everybody! Why am I the only one here! Did everybody leave me?!?! Am I talking to myself!


Nathan: We just need to utter the phrase (rising his voice)"That Russian Couple Sure Loves Capitalism"


Before they all knew it, Abaddon heard the phrase and was stopped dead in his tracks. Then Abaddon went to a telephone and talked in Russian.


Esther (gasps): Oh no! Abaddon? Seriously? HE is the sleeper agent?


Ben: So is this our cue to follow him?


Nathan: Let him finish the phone call first. Then we'll see what he's up to.


Stabby Paul, Ben, Esther, and Nathan wait until Abaddon finishes the phone call to make their next move.




Scene 3:


As soon as Abaddon finished the phone call. Nathan, Stabby Paul, Ben and Esther run out of the control room. Then follow Abaddon. Who stops in the driveway of the Undervale. Looking up in the sky. Nathan, Stabby Paul, Ben, and Esther then hide in the bushes.


Ben: Why is Abaddon looking up in the sky?


Stabby Paul: Because whoever is coming to pick him up will take him to Russia!


Nathan (points to the sky): You called it, Stabby Paul!


A mini jet lands outside of The Undervale. Abaddon goes inside. Nathan and Stabby Paul fly inside of the jet to listen in.


Pilot: Ahh, it's you Agent 2108! Ready to go to Russia?


Abaddon: Where in Russia?


Pilot: Moscow of course. You are the chosen one!


Abaddon: Yes i know. The chosen one to nuke The United States!


Pilot: All in the name of Russian Supremecy! Vladimir Putin will be proud! Now up we go!


Nathan: Perfect! That's all we need to know.


Stabby Paul: Now that's our cue to GO!


Flying out of the mini jet. Nathan and Stabby Paul rejoin Ben and Esther.


Esther: So? What did you guys find out?


Nathan: Apparently, Abaddon had been chosen to set off the nuke that will destroy America.


Stabby Paul: In other words, Russia here we come!


Ben: I was afraid of this.


Esther: How are we going to get there?


Nathan leads Ben and Esther into a room full of Encyclopedias.



Scene 4:



Looking through the Encyclopedias. Nathan finds one that's marked R-S.


Ben: Encyclopedias? We use these for our homework when the Wifi is out.


Esther: What good will Encyclopedias do?


Nathan: Instead of taking an plane. We can go to Russia through these.


Ben: Maybe you guys can.


Esther: In case you forgot. We're alive. You're ghosts. You guys can go anywhere!


Nathan: Esther, remember when Katherine was hanging from the Undervale and you used a picture to transport her to the living room.


Esther: How can I forget? I finally got Mom to trust me!


Nathan: All you need to do is use your Black Magic powers to transport us to Russia!


Stabby Paul: Via the Encyclopedias.


Ben (takes the Encyclopedia): I'll look up Russia and see if there's any pictures. (under his breath) hope we come home in time.


Going over the R-S Encyclopedia. Ben finally finds Russia and a picture of The Kremlin on it. Right next to it there was a map of Russia.


Ben: Ha! There is it! Russia!


Esther takes a look at the Kremlin picture and takes a magic staff. Nathan pointed to the map thinking he was pointing to Moscow, but it was really Sochi. Using the magic staff, a portal appears coming out of the Encyclopedia. Nathan, Stabby Paul, Esther, and Ben all jump into the portal and end up in Russia. However not Moscow. Instead they end up in Sochi.


Nathan: According to our calculations, we arrived in...SOCHI!


Ben: Where the Winter Olympics were held.


Esther: Hey, sometimes my magic makes mistakes.


Ben: Okay I'll let that one slide.


Stabby Paul: Nothing to do with your magic. Nathan here pointed to Sochi instead of Moscow!


Nathan: Hey, I've been dead for a long time! I forgotten how to read maps.


Stabby Paul: Yeah you also seemed to forget where Moscow was!


Nathan: I never had to go to Russia before, okay!


Ben and Esther watch as Nathan and Stabby Paul continue their arguement.


Stabby Paul: Any idiot can locate Moscow on a Russian Map! What the hell is the matter with you!


Nathan: Any idiot can...Any idiot can..I had to hear that a lot when I was alive! Example: Any idiot can figure out the plot to Gone With The Wind!


Stabby Paul: I have a right to be mad at you! I'll ask this once more, What is the MATTER WITH YOU!



Nathan: What's the matter with you! (5x) I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF PEOPLE ASKING ME THAT! I HEARD THAT PHRASE WHEN I WAS ALIVE AND NOW I HAVE TO HEAR IT AGAIN AS A GHOST?!?!?!


Stabby Paul: Yes, because when you were alive. You had severe depression! Think some of that depression must've damaged your brain!


Nathan: Well it's not like I was Robin Williams in Awakenings.....


Stabby Paul: You asked for this!


Nathan and Stabby Paul try to beat up on each other. Ben and Esther looked shocked and dismayed like they've never seen two ghosts fighting before.


Ben: What is this, Rocky: Ghost Edition?


Esther: I'll handle this! STOP!


Stabby Paul and Nathan stop fighting and look at Esther.


Esther: You brought us here to stop a nuke. We're supposed to be working together, not against each other.


Ben: Yes, Esther is right. And like you guys stated before. The fate of America is at stake. So who cares if Uncle Nathan pointed at the wrong Russian city.


Esther: All we need to do is find our way to Moscow. You guys are ghosts, you can fly us there.


Ben: Exactly. And stop Abaddon from activiating that nuke.


Nathan and Stabby Paul make up.


Stabby Paul: Got a little crazy back there. Guess I forgot even ghosts make errors. No hard feelings?


Nathan: No hard feelings.



Scene 5:




Walking around Sochi, Russia. Late at night. A faint red mist glows over the snow-dusted streets. Ben, Esther, Nathan, and Stabby Paul step out of a flickering blue portal that fades behind them.


Ben: (shivering) Great. We’re in Sochi. And it’s colder than a ghost’s handshake.


Esther: (gritting her teeth) Could be worse. At least we didn’t end up in Siberia.


Nathan: (hovering above the ground) I told you, we just need to fly north until we reach Moscow. Simple.


Stabby Paul: (sarcastic) Oh sure, Nathan, simple. You also said this encyclopedia trick was “idiot-proof.”


Nathan: (defensively) Hey, I’m a ghost, not Google Maps!


Ben: Okay, okay, stop it! We’ll freeze to death before we even see a nuke if you two keep arguing.


A low rumble echoes through the streets. Esther looks up. A ghostly blimp drifts across the sky, glowing faint red with Cyrillic writing that flickers like neon.


Esther: Uh… what the hell is that?


Nathan: (squinting) That’s not just any blimp… that’s The Red Ghost!


Ben: The what now?


Stabby Paul: Old Soviet weapon from the Cold War—half machine, half poltergeist. Carries lost souls from the Kremlin’s ghost army.


Ben: Of course it does. Because why wouldn’t it.


Esther: So that means Abaddon’s probably on it.


Nathan: (nodding grimly) If he is, we’ve got to find a way on board before it reaches Moscow.


Scene 6 :


They sneak through the icy streets of Sochi until they reach the old train yard. The blimp lowers a spectral chain ladder glowing with red fire. A tall figure—Abaddon—climbs aboard. His voice can be faintly heard.


Radiohead's 2+2=5 plays.


Abaddon: Да, товарищи… the countdown begins at dawn. America will burn by sunrise.


Ben: (whispering) Yep, that’s Abaddon all right. Why was he chosen?


Stabby Paul: Isn't it obvious? He's a demon stuck inside a kid's body!


Nathan: That's what made him the perfect candidate. Or should we say, "Manchurian Candidate!"


Esther: (takes out her magic staff) Time for some quick transport. Hold on to me!


Tapping the ground, Esther emits sone black smoke swirls around them, and suddenly, they’re clinging to the underside of the blimp as it lifts into the air.


Ben: (whispering) I’m gonna hurl. I hate heights.


Stabby Paul: (grinning) Then don’t look down. Or up. Or anywhere.


Nathan: Quiet! If Abaddon senses us, this whole mission’s over before it starts.


They crawl up the side of the blimp and peer through a frosted porthole. Inside, Abaddon stands before a glowing control orb filled with fire and electricity—an ethereal warhead pulsing like a heart.


Esther: (whispering) That’s it. The nuke.


Ben: Wait—ghosts can make nukes now?!


Nathan: Not exactly. It’s a Spectral Bomb—a fusion of magic and nuclear energy. If it detonates, it’ll erase every living and dead soul in America.


Stabby Paul: Basically, everyone dies. Twice.


Ben: (gulping) Fantastic.



Scene 7:


They climb through a ventilation hatch into the interior of the blimp. The corridor flickers with ghostly red light. The walls whisper in Russian. Esther’s breath fogs as they move.


Voice (whispering from the walls): Смерть предателям... смерть шпионам...


Esther: What did that mean?


Nathan: “Death to traitors. Death to spies.”


Ben: Great. I’m really starting to miss Undervale.


Nathan, Stabby Paul, Ben, and Esther all reach the control chamber. Abaddon stands before the glowing orb, muttering an incantation. His eyes flash crimson.


Abaddon: In the name of the Motherland… awaken, Fire of the Dead!


The orb hums louder. Alarms echo. Red lightning arcs through the chamber.


Esther: (steps forward) Not today!


Slamming her staff down, Esther blasting Abaddon with blue fire. The ghosts are thrown back by the shockwave. The orb flickers wildly.


Abaddon: (snarling) You dare betray the new order?!


Nathan: Sorry, comrade. We’re more into democracy!


Ben: This is for your own good, Abaddon!


Nathan tackles Abaddon. Stabby Paul spins his knife, slashing through the glowing control wires. Sparks fly. Ben dives for a lever marked “OVERRIDE.”


Ben: (yelling) What do I pull?!


Stabby Paul: The one that doesn’t explode!


Ben: THAT’S NOT HELPING!


As he pulls the lever. Ben notices The orb’s glow dims, but not completely. The blimp begins to spiral.


Esther: Ben, whatever you did—it’s not enough!


Ben: (panicking) Maybe because I’m not a damn nuclear physicist!


Rising in the air, Abaddon has his body splitting into multiple shadow forms.


Abaddon: Fools! You can’t stop the will of the Motherland!


Nathan: (glances at Esther) Can you banish him?


Esther: (gritting her teeth) Maybe… but it’ll take everything I’ve got.


Ben: Then do it!


Esther raises her staff. The blue and red lights clash violently. The blimp tilts, crashing through storm clouds as a portal opens behind Abaddon.


Abaddon: You’ll regret this, girl!


Esther: Tell Putin I said hi!


With a burst of magic, Abaddon is sucked screaming into the portal, which collapses. The orb’s glow fades. Silence. The blimp steadies itself.


Ben: (panting) Is it… over?


Nathan: For now. But that was just one bomb. Who knows how many they’ve built?


Stabby Paul: (grinning) Guess that means the Undervale’s got an international branch now.


Esther: Don’t even joke. Mom’s gonna kill us when she finds out.


They all laugh weakly as the blimp floats over the dawn horizon, smoke trailing behind.


Nathan: All right, team. Next stop… home.


They vanish in a swirl of blue mist, leaving the wrecked Red Ghost blimp drifting toward the frozen sea.



Scene 6:


Now back in Undervale. It was Sunday Nathan, Stabby Paul, Ben, and Esther are about to go inside.


Nathan: Oh I forgot to mention. This all magic we used for the mission makes days go by faster.


Stabby Paul: Thats right, kids. It's Sunday already! The day your Mom gets out of the hospital!


Esther and Ben feel a rush of anxiety.


Ben: You don't think Mom's back already do you?


Esther: I'm dreading that.


Nathan: You kids stay here I'll take a look.


Stabby Paul: Wait for me.


Nathan and Stabby Paul go isnide Undervale for any sign of Katherine.


Stabby Paul: OKay the coast is clear.


Nathan and Stabby Paul go inform Ben and Esther that Katherine has not come back from the hospital.


Ben: Think Abaddon will be okay.


Esther: Yeah, the portal will send him back here in a while. It's an anti brainwashing portal. Trust me I know these things.


Stabby Paul: Good news, kids.


Nathan: Mom is still in the hospital you're in the clear.


Ben: YES!


Esther: No punishment for us!


Ben (looks at the front desk): That Mirror Katherine is gone.


Esther: Oooh shit! Forgot about that.


Running inside Undervale. Ben and Esther run to the couch. The portal from earlier spits out Abaddon.


Abaddon: HEY! I just found out I was in Russia! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!!!!



Scene 7 Conclusion:


A doorbell rang. Ben went to get it. Katherine is finally home from the hospital with Charlie accompaning her.


Ben: Mom you're home!


Esther: How are you doing?


Katherine: Oh kids. So great to see you again. I missed you so much!


Ben: We did too! Nothing happened while you were gone.


Esther: Yep, just the same old same old. School, homework, etc.


Charlie: Want to help your Mother into her bedroom.


Ben: Sure come on Mom.


Katherine: I'm going to need at home wound care for a month or so. Other than that, I'm fine.


Esther: We'll help you to your bedroom!


Ben and Esther help Katherine into her bedroom. Charlie looks around.


Charlie: Hmmm, looks like Katherine is keeping up this place very well since Nathan died.


Hearing loud voices in the other room. Charlie goes to investigate. In the living room, Abaddon was yelling at Nathan and Stabby Paul.


Abaddon: Why the hell was I in Russia! What was I even doing there?


Charlie (to himself): I better not get involved.


Nathan: Okay that portal that sucked you back in there was anti brainwashing portal. Esther told us about those once.


Abaddon: Why and how was I brainwashed into going to Russia!


Stabby Paul: Apparently you were the "chosen one" to set off a nuke.


Nathan: You were a sleeper agent so to speak.


Stabby Paul: You were programmed to set off a nuke from Russia to the United States.


Abaddon: Okay all right. I'm always doing evil anyway. But how did I become a sleeper agent?


Nathan: You were activated as a sleeper agent by saying a phrase. What was it again.


Stabby Paul: Now I remember, it was "That Russian Couple Sure Loves Captialism!"


Charlie now finds himself in a hypnotic state and runs to the phone and speaks Russian.


Nathan: Here we go again.


The person on the other end of the phone tells Charlie to shut up. After hanging up the phone Charlie starts walking around in a sleepwalking like trance speaking in Russian.


Stabby Paul: Are we going to do something about this?


Nathan: I'm not sure....


Abaddon: Nah, let's not.
