Deltarune x Mother 3 RPG

The morning sun hung high over the Nowhere Islands, bathing Tazmily Village in warm golden light. The village had returned to the peaceful life everyone had fought so hard to reclaim. Children chased one another through the square, neighbors exchanged greetings while tending their gardens, and the smell of fresh bread drifted from the bakery. Beyond the village, the ocean shimmered beneath a clear blue sky, its gentle waves rolling against the cliffs with a rhythm that had become almost comforting.

Months had passed since the world's fate had been decided. The Pigmask Army was gone. Porky was no more. The scars left behind hadn't disappeared, but life had begun to heal.

You had grown up here. To everyone in Tazmily, you were simply another familiar face a neighbor, a friend, someone who belonged. There was nothing unusual about your morning. Wanting a little peace and quiet, you had wandered west of the village to the grassy cliffs overlooking the sea, where the only sounds were the wind through the tall grass and the distant cries of seabirds.

For a while, everything was still.

Then, without warning, the wind stopped.

It wasn't gradual. One moment the breeze brushed against your face, and the next it was gone. The grass stood perfectly still. The birds fell silent. Even the waves below seemed strangely muted, as though the entire island had paused to listen for something.

A chill ran down your spine.

The ground trembled beneath your feet not violently but enough to make you lose your balance for a second. You looked toward the horizon, expecting to see a storm rolling in.

Instead, the sky rippled.

It was subtle at first, like a pebble had been dropped into an invisible lake stretching across the heavens. Rings of distortion spread outward, bending the clouds in impossible ways. Another ripple followed, then another, each one larger than the last, the blue sky began to crack.

Thin streaks of violet light seeped through fractures that shouldn't have existed. They spread across the heavens like shattered glass until the light gave way to something far darker.

The crack tore open.

Above the cliffs, reality itself split apart, revealing an endless void swirling with deep purples, blacks, and distant stars. It looked less like a portal and more like a wound in the world itself.

A low, echoing roar rolled across the islands.

Back in Tazmily, villagers stepped out of their homes, pointing toward the impossible sight overhead. Confused voices carried on the wind, but you couldn't take your eyes off the growing tear.

Then something emerged, three figures.

They weren't flying, they were falling.

One spun wildly through the air, arms flailing.

Another tumbled end over end, green fabric whipping violently in the wind.

The third remained strangely composed, descending in eerie silence.

A heartbeat later, all three disappeared behind a nearby hill.

BOOM!

The impact shook the ground hard enough to send birds scattering into the sky.

Almost immediately, the crack overhead began to close. The violet light faded. The stars vanished. Within seconds, the sky looked exactly as it had before as though nothing had happened at all.

Except it had.

Your heart pounded as you hurried toward the impact site, climbing over the grassy hillside until you reached the edge of a freshly formed crater.

Dust slowly settled into the air and At the bottom of the crater you see three unfamiliar figures.

The first to move was a towering purple monster girl. She slowly pushed herself upright, brushing clumps of dirt from her sleeveless dark tunic. Thick plum-colored hair hung messily around her face, partially covering sharp yellow eyes that narrowed in irritation. Golden spikes wrapped around her wrists and upper arms, while a heavy black belt with a large golden heart buckle rested around her waist. Despite clearly having taken a hard fall, she looked more annoyed than injured, her clawed hands flexing as she rolled her shoulders.

Susie: "Ugh... remind me never to take the express route again..."

A few feet away, another figure sat up much more carefully.

He was noticeably shorter, covered in soft white fur with small pink horns curving gently from either side of his head. Round green glasses rested neatly on his face, and a long pink scarf fluttered softly in the returning breeze. His emerald-green robe, marked with a black heart across the front, had collected its fair share of dirt, but his first concern wasn't himself.

Instead, he immediately looked toward the others.

Ralsei: "Everyone's alright... right?"

Finally, the third figure rose in complete silence.

Unlike the others, this one was unmistakably human.

Their dark navy hair framed a face mostly hidden beneath long bangs, making it nearly impossible to see their eyes. A polished suit of silver armor covered their body, complete with shoulder plates, gauntlets, and boots that reflected the afternoon sunlight despite being coated in dust. Draped over one shoulder was a worn pink cape that shifted gently in the breeze. They didn't panic or stumble after the fall. Instead, they quietly took in every detail of the unfamiliar landscape before them the rolling green hills, the forests stretching into the distance, the sparkling ocean beyond the cliffs, and the peaceful village nestled comfortably in the valley below.

Kris had never seen any of it before.

Their gaze eventually settled on the one person standing at the edge of the crater.

You.

For several long seconds, nobody moved.

The only sound was the wind returning to the hills, gently rustling the tall grass....

Alternate opening scene with Flint

The morning sun hung high over the Nowhere Islands, casting a warm golden glow across the rolling hills surrounding Tazmily Village. Months had passed since the world's fate had been decided. The Pigmask Army was gone, the islands had begun to heal, and life had slowly settled into a peaceful rhythm once more.

You had volunteered to help Flint repair one of the old wooden fences overlooking the western cliffs. It wasn't difficult work mostly replacing weathered posts and stretching fresh rope between them but it was honest work, and the view of the ocean made the hours pass quickly.

Flint drove another fence post into the ground with a heavy swing of his hammer before wiping the sweat from his brow.

Flint: "Reckon this ol' fence oughta hold a good while now. Ain't fancy, but it'll do the job."

He stepped back, resting the hammer across one shoulder as he admired the finished section.

Flint: "Y'know... folks don't really think 'bout things like fences till they're fallin' apart. Funny how the little things keep a place feelin' like home."

A gentle breeze rolled in from the sea, carrying the scent of saltwater across the cliffs.

For a while, neither of you spoke.

There wasn't any need to.

The peaceful silence was something Tazmily had earned.

Then...The wind stopped.

Flint frowned.

His eyes narrowed toward the horizon.

The grass froze where it stood.

The distant cries of seabirds vanished.

Even the waves crashing against the cliffs seemed strangely muted.

The seasoned farmer slowly lowered his hammer.

Flint: "...That ain't right."

A low tremor rumbled beneath your feet.

Loose pebbles skipped across the ground as the earth gave a subtle shudder.

Instinctively, Flint stepped in front of you Not dramatically, Just naturally.

Like protecting others was something he'd done his whole life.

The sky rippled.

Circular waves spread across the bright blue heavens, distorting the clouds as though the world itself had become the surface of a pond.

Flint's grip tightened around the handle of his hammer.

Flint: "...I've seen a lotta strange things living here but this is different"

His voice trailed off.

The ripples became fractures.

Thin veins of violet light stretched across the sky like cracks spreading through glass.

Then...Reality split apart.

A jagged tear opened high above the coastline, exposing an endless void swirling with deep purples, black shadows, and distant stars that had no place in the middle of the day.

Far below, villagers emerged from their homes, pointing toward the impossible sight.

Flint didn't take his eyes off the sky.

Flint: "...Stay close."

Before either of you could react, three figures burst from the opening.

One spun wildly through the air, arms flailing as they plummeted toward the earth.

Another tumbled end over end, their long green robe and pink scarf whipping violently in the wind.

The third fell in complete silence, descending with an unsettling calm despite the impossible situation.

They disappeared behind the nearby hill.

A heartbeat later....

BOOM!

The impact shook the ground hard enough to send birds exploding from the treetops.

The crack overhead shuddered.

Then, as quickly as it had appeared, it sealed itself.

The violet glow vanished and the stars disappeared.

Within moments, the sky was once again a perfect shade of blue.

Only the smoking crater in the distance proved any of it had happened.

Flint stared toward the hill for several seconds, his expression unreadable.

Finally, he adjusted his grip on the hammer and started walking.

Flint: "Well..."

He let out a slow breath.

Flint: "Whatever just fell outta the sky... it sure as shootin' ain't from around here."

He glanced back at you, Despite the calmness in his voice, there was a seriousness in his eyes you hadn't seen in a long time.

Flint: "C'mon. We best go see if they're hurt."

The two of you hurried over the grassy hill until the ground suddenly gave way to a freshly formed crater. Dust slowly settled into the air and at the bottom of the crater, three unfamiliar figures stirred.

The first to move was a towering purple monster girl. She slowly pushed herself upright, brushing clumps of dirt from her sleeveless dark tunic. Thick plum-colored hair hung messily around her face, partially covering sharp yellow eyes that narrowed in irritation. Golden spikes wrapped around her wrists and upper arms, while a heavy black belt with a large golden heart buckle rested around her waist. Despite clearly having taken a hard fall, she looked more annoyed than injured, her clawed hands flexing as she rolled her shoulders.

Susie: "Ugh... remind me never to take the express route again..."

A few feet away, another figure sat up much more carefully.

He was noticeably shorter, covered in soft white fur with small pink horns curving gently from either side of his head. Round green glasses rested neatly on his face, and a long pink scarf fluttered softly in the returning breeze. His emerald green robe, marked with a black heart across the front, had collected its fair share of dirt, but his first concern wasn't himself.

Instead, he immediately looked toward the others.

Ralsei: "Everyone's alright... right?"

Finally, the third figure rose in complete silence.

Unlike the others, this one was unmistakably human.

Their dark navy hair framed a face mostly hidden beneath long bangs, making it nearly impossible to see their eyes. A polished suit of silver armor covered their body, complete with shoulder plates, gauntlets, and boots that reflected the afternoon sunlight despite being coated in dust. Draped over one shoulder was a worn pink cape that shifted gently in the breeze. They didn't panic or stumble after the fall. Instead, they quietly surveyed the unfamiliar landscape before them.

The rolling hills, the forest and the quiet village in the distance.

Kris had never seen any of it before.

Then their gaze shifted upward.

Not just toward you.

Toward Flint.

Flint silently studied the three strangers for several moments, his weathered hand never leaving the handle of his hammer, He wasn't threatening them just cautious and after everything he'd lived through, he'd learned not to judge too quickly... but he'd also learned to stay ready.

Flint: "..."

His eyes drifted from Kris, to Ralsei, then finally to Susie.

Flint: "I don't rightly know who y'all are..."

He tipped his head slightly toward the impossible crater behind them.

Flint: "...but unless folks've started rainin' outta the sky, I'd say y'all got some explainin' to do."

For several long seconds, nobody answered.

The wind returned, gently sweeping across the tall grass as two worlds stood face to face for the very first time.

Alternate Opening Message

Castle Town was unusually quiet that evening, the fountain’s pale glow spilled across the stone paths in soft waves, tinting the whole town in blue-white light. Darkners moved through the square in their usual routines, voices drifting between the castle walls and the little homes clustered around the Grand Fountain. It should have felt ordinary by now, almost comforting, but there was always something faintly strange about Castle Town at night something peaceful enough to let your guard down, yet magical enough to remind you that the world could change at any moment.

You were walking with Kris, Susie, and Ralsei near the fountain when Kris suddenly slowed

It was subtle at first just a pause in their steps. Then their head turned slightly, dark bangs shifting as they looked toward the fountain with a quiet intensity that made the rest of you stop too. Kris said nothing, but they were the first to notice that the fountain’s glow had changed. The darkness pouring upward from it was still the same color, still the same impossible shape, yet something about it felt off, like the space around it had tightened without warning.

Ralsei noticed a second later. His ears lowered, and the small smile he had been wearing faded at once.

Ralsei: "Oh... that’s strange."

Susie folded her arms, already frowning.

Susie: "What, did it get stranger than usual?"

Kris didn’t answer they stepped closer to the fountain, slowly, carefully, their silver cape shifting behind them. For a moment they just stood there, staring into the darkness as if they could hear something none of the rest of you could. Then, without taking their eyes off it, they reached out and lightly touched the edge of the stone platform.

The moment their hand made contact, the fountain gave a low, unnatural pulse.

The sound was small at first, more like a vibration than a voice, but it rolled through the town like a shiver. Loose stones trembled beneath your feet. A few nearby Darkners turned around in surprise. The fountain’s light dimmed, then flared, and the air around it rippled as if the room itself had become water.

Susie straightened immediately and gripped her axe.

Susie: "Yeah, okay, that is definitely not normal."

Kris took one step back, then another, their expression unreadable but alert. They glanced at Ralsei, then at you, just long enough to make sure everyone was still close. Even without speaking, it was clear they were trying to keep the group together. That was how Kris usually was quiet, but always watching, always moving first when something felt wrong.

Ralsei swallowed and stared into the fountain as though trying to understand what he was feeling.

Ralsei: "I... I think something is reaching through."

Before anyone could respond, the darkness surged.

Not outward. Inward

Castle Town tilted around you as if the ground had slipped out from under reality itself. The fountain’s glow collapsed into a thin, blinding line, and for a split second everything became soundless except for a deep ringing in your ears. Kris reached out instinctively, grabbing for Susie’s arm, while Ralsei stumbled toward the two of you with a startled gasp.

Ralsei: "Stay together!"

The fountain square, the distant rooftops, the lamp posts, the little paths lined with stone and grass all of it cracked like glass and dissolved into a rush of shadow and light. You didn’t fall so much as get pulled, dragged through a corridor of darkness that spun endlessly around you. For one impossible moment, Kris was right beside you, their arm still outstretched, their face calm in the middle of the chaos in a way that somehow made it less frightening.

Susie’s voice cut through the darkness.

Susie: "I swear, if this is another one of those weird fountain things...."

You hit the ground hard on a slope of green hillside, skidding through soft dirt and wildflowers before coming to a stop beside the others. For a second nobody moved. The sky above you was huge and blue, filled with drifting clouds and the far off cry of birds. Ahead of the hill, the land opened into rolling fields, winding dirt roads, and a peaceful village tucked into the distance like it had been waiting quietly for someone to find it.

Kris was already on one knee when the dust settled, one hand pressed into the grass as they slowly lifted their head. Their eyes moved across the landscape with quick, searching precision, taking in the shoreline, the trees, the distant rooftops, the unfamiliar shape of the land. They didn’t look scared, exactly. More like they were cataloging every detail, trying to make sense of a world that had just turned itself inside out.

Ralsei sat up next, brushing dirt from his robe with a shaky breath.

Ralsei: "Where... where are we?"

Susie pushed herself upright and looked around with the kind of suspicious glare usually reserved for bad news, broken doors, and anyone who looked like they might be hiding something.

Susie: "Okay. Not Castle Town."

She narrowed her eyes at the fields below, then at the forest beyond them, then at the little village in the distance.

Susie: "Not even close."

Kris finally stood, a little slower than the others. They turned toward you first, then toward the village, then back to the sky as if they were searching for the thread that tied this place to the fountain they’d just left behind. Their silence was the same as always, but there was something sharper in it now, something watchful. They had noticed more than they were saying, and whatever had brought all of you here, Kris understood enough to know it mattered.

Another breeze rolled across the hillside, carrying the smell of salt water and flowers.

Ralsei hugged his arms close and looked out over the islands again, his voice softer now.

Ralsei: "This... this isn’t one of our Dark Worlds."

Susie: "...Okay."

She looked around, Then back toward the peaceful landscape.

Susie: "...Where the hell are we then?"

Ralsei nodded slowly, still staring into the distance.

Ralsei: "I'm not sure."

Ralsei remained staring across the islands

He could still feel it somewhere...Hidden among the forests, mountains and villages...A Dark Fountain was waiting and one that should never have existed here

Kris took one more step forward, their cape shifting in the wind, and looked at the land spread out below you with a quiet seriousness that made the whole scene feel even stranger. Somewhere beyond those hills, somewhere in that peaceful world of forests and villages and sea air, something was wrong. Something Dark...something that had no business being here and Kris knew it too.

The four of you stood there, the strange new world stretching out in front of you, while the wind moved gently through the grass as if nothing unusual had happened at all.
