A/N: We've been waiting for this. You all made this possible, the awaited time is come and we are heading for where Markas is now. It's going to be a long fight but stay DETERMINED readers! LET'S GO! (Note: When you see the lines with bold in them that is the narrator (me) talking. Also any song titles which I will underline for you will let you know if you want further fun while reading what song to search up to listen to while reading as they go with the parts of the story.)
Chapter X
Here we are, we've finally caught up to him everyone! It's me, the narrator and now is the time to stop Markas once and for all!
"You really think you can stop me? I've come this far, I won't stop now." he stands tall, black hair and eyes, he is wearing some normal looking clothing of jeans and a white T-shirt.
Markas, stop it now! I've put up a barrier so you can't just teleport out. What can you even accomplish now?
"I can't tell you, it would only make things worse!" he growls.
I can't let you go, and I can't fight you. Mostly because I'm a narrator, what am I gonna do? Talk you to death?
"So we are at a stalemate until I can find a way out." he smirks.
Well no, you see I have some recruits to help me.
"Recruits? What recruits?" but before he can even ponder this a blue aura surrounds him and throws him back as a short skeleton with a blue jacket, cargo shorts, and pink slippers appears. One eye glowing blue while the other dark and pupil-less.
Thanks Sans, you'll have to keep him busy for a while. I know you can do it. Well, that and I'll be throwing in help soon as I finish rustling them up.
"Really? Sans?" Markas head tilts.
"Heh, hey now. I'm tougher than I look..." Sans smiles big then looks up. "What makes you think I can't beat him myself?"
After what one of our readers said it hit me more than anything. This isn't Undertale version Markas, as if it was his name would have appeared as Marcus because Undertale, at least as written by me, is modern themed. This can only be the original Markas Darkeyes. The one who shattered the fourth wall for every him that existed in the first place. Markas is connected with more or less all the selves of him in the universe. Most of them just are able to know what is going on with each other at the same time, which lets them break the fourth wall due to them also being a part of me. This one though, being the one who did it, can take on aspects of his other selves allowing him to use powers of those worlds.
"You know, if that wasn't my back story I'd be bored out of my mind right now. Heh, there you go. I'm the OG OP god version Markas. Still think you can take me on skelebro?"
Sans smile widens, "It's a beautiful day outside." Markas raises an eyebrow. "Birds are singing. Flowers are blooming..." Growling Markas balls his fists. "On days like these. Gods like you..." Markas now has a dark energy about him...
"Should be burning in HELL." Sans summons multiple gaster blasters and fires the whole array at Markas.
Megalovania starts playing in the background.
"Well let's play then!" Markas shoots forwards dodging between the gaster blasters with an insane smirk on his face as he produces a dagger and cuts at Sans. But the skeleton is fast, and seems to simply slide out of the way with ease dodging it.
"Hah, Chara used a knife as well, think that'll kill me?" Sans gloats.
"Oh no, but I know much more than that." Markas turns and spreads his hands as the knife floats, and multiple more appear out of the blue as well. "Try this!" the knives started to rapid fire, appearing and shooting near instantly in a hail of sharp points.
"Huh..." Sans starts warping around rapidly, each knife a death sentence to him in and of itself. "I get your point." He chuckles raising a hand making his aura spread to a grouping of knives and turning them on their creators.
Markas halted his attack as his own knives shot at him, but as they reached him, he suddenly wasn't there. "Well well this will be interesting. A fight of two teleporters." his voice came from behind Sans.
Without flinching Sans summoned two more blasters that shot behind him before he disappeared. Over the next few seconds knives and blasts would be seen coming from every angle and direction before both appeared in the center of the field they were in, facing one another.
"OK I see what he means. What the hell..."
Wow...I didn't even see that. But don't worry here is your help.
A flash of light an out from nowhere comes...Asriel, cute little goat bro. "I'm not cute!"
Both Markas AND Sans stop and look at him very confused.
Oh right, well I had used some power from our views to put up the barrier. Here, let's use some more!
The hopes and dreams of the readers who support the story fill Asriel with DETERMINATION! With all the strength his body changes and he becomes the GOD OF HYPERDEATH!
Sans chuckles "Hyperdeath huh?"
Asriel who now looks older and sports delta robes and arcane markings summons his Chaos Sabers. "Hey, it works. Now then, let me take a crack at it, this will be a battle of gods."
Sans shrugs stepping back.
Hopes and Dreams overtakes Megalovania
As Asriel steps forward. Markas swaps to only two daggers, "Hmph, you two are pests at best." Cracking his neck he shot at Asriel, their weapons clashing with a near thunderous roar of power. Sans sweat-dropped and warped back slightly further.
Markas and Asriel's weapons struck again and again as the two power houses started to fight melee. "Oh you are good, I'll give you that." Markas smirked as suddenly Asriel sent a group of fireballs his way. "I'm still better." he warped out, appearing next to Asriel.
"How good?" Asriel seemed cocky, a chaos blaster appearing and charging above Markas.
"Shit.." he blink-stepped backwards summoning a large group of daggers. "OK then, try...THIS" the daggers suddenly started multiplying on a ridiculous scale creating a sphere of them around Asriel. "Eat your heart out Dio." he laughed as the daggers started shooting from every direction.
Asriel started spinning his swords moving around starting to deflect them, but he couldn't stop them all and many were starting to hit. "This is your end!" the last of all the daggers started glowing as they shot at once. Asriel seemed as if he was about to be finished, it was over. But the end didn't come, the daggers all plunged into a giant dragon skull. Sans stood beside him, the shield fading.
"OK kid, you had your fun, let's work together."
Asriel nodded "Right, let's do it right"
Alright! You got him on the ropes if you work together!
"Your all insufferable. Fine then, I shall pull a trump card of my own." Markas smiled as the energy around him seemed to suck into him. "Let me show you an aspect of one of my selves you might like." his body started to morph, becoming slightly younger. Closing his eyes the clothes he wore transformed, becoming strange black slightly tattered MTT brand clothing. Opening his eyes they were now pitch blank, all except for the dots of pupils he had which were bright red. The dark energy surrounded both his eyes almost like a double mirroring of Sans. He spoke, his voice almost like Chara's when she was demonic, "Aspect of Underfell Marcus..." the knife he held slowly seemed to turn a sick purple.
Sans smile fell, Asriel growled as multiple chaos busters appeared. "We can take him..."
He's...why? WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH A FORM!? Readers, the last of your power WILL stop him, I promise. Sans, Asriel, hold on, you'll win. We all believe in you!
SharaX – Dark Darker Yet Darker plays
Markas spreads his arms again as black portals start opening all over the place staying open, one even appearing high in the sky blotting out the sun. The whole area darkens to a new moon midnight, lit by the eerie light of the portals. "Let the game begin." he would sink into a portal under him.
Asriel and Sans summoned their blasters, "This is going to get intense, and we're not even camping." Sans tried to joke.
Asriel was about to retort when something jumped form a portal, whipping a dagger at them. Sans sidestepped as Asriel blasted towards the figure but it was gone into another portal. Suddenly a high speed of Markas jumping through portals, Asriel and Sans started firing whenever they saw him, but couldn't seem to keep up while dodging daggers.
"This is getting nowhere, stop the daggers I'll stop him." Sans was sweating somehow. Markas suddenly shot out so fast it looked like he was in several places at once as a few daggers shot at them. Asriel used his swords to stop them, Sans meanwhile summoned blasters in every direction firing them all at once.
"Arg!" Markas shot into a portal and out of another into the ground leaving a small crater. "Shit..." he stood slowly having taken a direct hit. He looked pretty damaged. Now that they could see him he had taken some glancing blows during the exchange by now. "You won't beat me like that you know." pulling the portals they would move surrounding them. Markas disappeared before starting his high speed assault from up close, shooting every which way from the portals around them striking at them. Both went on the defense being overwhelmed by the assault.
OK I've had about enough of this. Time to finish this. I don't wanna see them being beaten any more than you guys do.
Markas smirked and stood before a tired Sans and Asriel, both were tired, Asriel fell back returning to his kid self, and Sans stood in front of him protectively. "Hah what will you do? Another barrier? Nothing you could do can affect me."
Shows how much you know, there are games I've been playing your not even in yet.
"What? Wait who is here? You..your not allowed to pull a second OC!" Markas looks shocked.
Who says? You changed the rules, now you get to live with it.
Now plays, Serpent Eating the Ground – Bravely Default OST
The portal that blocks the sun starts to change, it becomes a golden color and brightens the area like a moon as something emerges through it. Slowly floating down is a silver haired youth, with purple eyes, and wearing green robes. The figure seems to have some arcane markings on it's face and cannot be figured to be male or female. The figure holds a tall staff with a gem on the end.
Markas, this is Sage Starkeeper. You have yet to meet in the game I play Sage in. But your going to get to see his ability full force.
Sage smiles and touches down to the ground next to Sans and Asriel. "Hello." Sage says in a pleasant voice.
Sage has an interesting curse, no it's not that sage is genderless like Frisk sometimes is. Sage can eat peoples souls. Kirby's the soul right from you. But that's too good for you my friend, instead we're going to one up that with Sages true power. Now, feel all the last of the hopes and dreams of our audience!
A ball of energy drops down, moving fast but suddenly slowing as if in slow motion above them all. Sage drops the staff. Exhaling and moving their hands down in an upside down triangle Sages mouth opens very wide, wider than normal the est of their face moving up. Suddenly a purple whirlwind appears sucking from Sage's mouth. The ball of energy gets hit and in a great light is pulled down and sucked into Sage. Closing their mouth Sage gulped as the light seemed to radiate from inside the new addition to the fight.
"Y..You think I'm afraid. Even if I get beaten here I still have all the other me's in existence." he smiles again. "I wont be stopped!"
Sage smiles "That's why I'll stop this now. I do not wish to stay in this realm and I'll keep this universe safe."
Markas spits and summons a storm of daggers, "Fuck it, I'll end all three of you here. Then you'll have to see. I'm the one who will save the universes!"
Sage glows brighter before the light envelops their body, when it dissipates Sage is in a new form, a crazy cross between a human, dragon, and angel/demon. With one wing consisting of black and white feathers, and one dragon wing. The eyes now two different colors and a scaly tail curving from behind. "It ends now...This is everyone's answer to you."
Markas howls with rage and all the daggers glow dark purple before aiming and shooting towards the three. " R!"
Sage raises a clawed hand as a field of yellow flowers seems to appear from nowhere coating the entirety of the field they lay in.
"The fuck..." Sans watches speechless.
"Wait it's like the underground but...so many." Asriel blinked.
Sage smiles as a rather indescribably large floating blaster cannon the size and length of a school bus appears to the right of them, making yellow petals swirl and dance everywhere as it quickly charges, "Be erased from the Karmic Record... N!" The blast from the giant seeming orbital cannon shoots forth, overtaking the attack Markas shot, and hitting Markas "D...DAMMMIIIIIIIIT" he rages as he disintegrates.
All is quiet a moment before Sage reverts to normal, turning and smiling to Sans and Asriel before fading out.
We did it? We did it! HAH!
Sans smiles and Asriel looks relieved. "It's over! Golly!"
Chuckling Sans smiles "Finally, you got some explaining to do Mr Narrator. But...later. For now, I need to get the kid home." Standing he would take Asriel's hand and they would disappear.
We did it! Oh man I was scared for a while there. Sans and Asriel did an amazing job, but so did you all! Sage could only have gotten his soul if Sans and Asriel did enough damage, which they did but it wouldn't have stopped him from using his other selves! But with all your DETERMINATION and help we stopped Markas, your power was enough to put Sage into Oversoul mode, and with that Oblivion Cannon destroyed Markas' existence so he couldn't! You all made it possible to defeat him. Now we will have a normal story once again! Whew. Now then I have to take the time and fix this area before anyone finds out. I'll be seeing you all in Monday's chapter. In the meantime, all of your who were here and reading, following, favoriting. You all gain a level! You've earned it!
