Gaster dove to the right to avoid being stomped by a massive flying ballet shoe. He looked around for a place to avoid the other inbound shoes, but found himself hemmed in by a massive and seemingly infinite plane of the shoes.

Flowey seemed unbeatable, even without his ability to LOAD, but Gaster thought he had an idea. But in order to put this plan into action, he would need to survive this attack, which he didn't seem to be on course toward doing as he was smashed between two of the shoes, and thrown into the stars, which exploded on impact, throwing him back into another shoe.

Thrusting his hands outward, Gaster created a forcefield, blocking the shoe from doing damage, before blowing it out of the air with one of his signature energy blasts. Charging energy, Gaster's "palms" glowed blue, along with the cracks on his face. Suddenly, Gaster once again thrusted his hands to his sides, throwing the shoes telekinetically away using Sans' magic.

"Like fighting trashbags all over again. Except this time, I'm infinitely stronger than before! I'm a GOD! I'll crush you!"

The shoes flew back at Gaster, who flitted gracefully between them, before charging at the ACT button which had suddenly appeared. When the shoes slowed, Gaster took the time to heal before they turned to music notes and exploded in a sound which to Flowey was beautiful music. To Gaster, however, the sound was ear piercing, and black goop leaked from his pierced ears.

"I think that one is the worst by far."

"AAaaaww! It's too bad I can only use them once each before the SOULS get tired… but the next one's a doozy! You'll have to wait, though, 'cause ol' Flowey's got a surprise for YOU too!"

The air trembled, the earth shook, and the void fell into itself. The entire universe was heaving under the incredible power of Photoshop Flowey. The tremendous beast staggered to his "feet," two massive vines the size of redwood trees, each studded with thorns and with titanic claws at their bottoms. Flowey suddenly leaped forward, slamming downward with one of his enormous paws. They could qualify as arms at this point, I suppose. Either way, Gaster was splattered into goop, and was forced to retreat in order to reform.

FILE 2 LOADED

A massive laser fired at Gaster, a laser he failed to avoid. The blast hit him and blasted him into an almost molecular state, but he regenerated.

"Impressive! Even with me mobile, and even after taking that hit, you're still kickin'! Wow! You're stronger than I expected! Oh, look down, by the way."

Gaster looked to his feet and saw a massive number of warheads pointing out of the ground. He attempted, and failed, to avoid them as they went off in harmony, mushroom clouds and the shockwaves that followed enveloping Gaster.

"It would've been boring if you hadn't seen what hitcha!"

"Why are you doing this? Do you expect thanks? Recognition? A rightful kingdom? Do you expect them to worship you as a god?"

"I don't expect anything, Gaster. I'm in this for three reasons! First off, I want power! I want to be a GOD! And until you DIE, I'll always have a pitiful little contender on my hands! I'd have to LOAD every few days just to keep from getting killed! And I'd never get anything done that way."

Flowey whipped a titanic vine at Gaster, who leaped over it in order to dodge, only to be hit by a volley of star-shaped bullets, as well as regular bullets. He took an instant to heal a few HP, before firing off another fireball.

9 damage!

"I told you that's not going to WORK! Where is that DETERMINATION coming from? How do you have so much? You're taking hits better than Frisk did when they were fighting me! Oh, wait. You're getting it from them, aren't you. Seeing you take their SOUL after such a cheap shot… it PISSES ME OFF!"

Flowey brought down a tendril in a massive arc, and Gaster turned to goop to avoid it. By the time he reached the surface of the ground again, the WARNING alarm was blaring in his ears. The SOUL'S power created two massive books on either side of Gaster. Words flew from either side, striking him again and again.

He was hit by MURDER and flew backwards in pain, MISERY hit him with slightly more force, before TRAPPED actually blew off his arm. Suddenly, however, the word CORRUPT struck him and actually healed him. TERROR had no effect, and RUIN only hurt him slightly. Suddenly, though, the word SAVE hit him for huge amounts of damage, followed by an equally harming MERCY. HATRED, and CRUELTY slightly harmed him before HORROR healed him a bit, followed by an extremely painful DESPAIR and SADNESS. NIGHTMARE and DESTROY healed him, before Flowey picked up on the pattern and took advantage of the opportunity, throwing the ACT button into Gaster, turning all the words positive.

PROTECT, KINDNESS, HAPPINESS, LIFE, DREAMS, CALM, all brought his HP near zero. HOPE and FREEDOM healed him slightly, but that was more than made up for by the others, which had damaged him extremely badly.

"Wow. You really ARE kind of a freak, aren't you? I mean… "protect." "Kindness." "Happiness." "Dreams…" Even LIFE. They all… hurt you? You… really hate all of that."

"And you don't?"

"It's just like you said before… depending on your perspective. Some timelines ended with death and destruction, and while most people would think that was bad… you liked it. There's something you're not telling me! You don't want to destroy the world because you don't care! There's something else!"

"Is there, Flowey? Is there? Because I don't think there is. I want revenge, and I really don't care if the world remains intact. So if I do wipe out all the timelines, it doesn't really matter. And, therefore, I will."

"So why would you not wipe out the world?"

"… Because, my friend. Because I want to destroy EVERY LAST SANS, EVERY LAST ALPHYS, EVERY LAST ASGORE, EVERY LAST FRISK, and NOW, even more importantly, EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. ASRIEL!"

"Oh, my. You seem… upset. But don't worry! You'll have plenty of time to cool down, chilling in an empty timeline! Because I've decided I don't want to KILL you! I'm just going to take that SOUL you've got there and leave you in some dump that doesn't have anyone in it anyway! I'll just destroy that timespace and leave you floating there! You thought the VOID was bad? Well just wait until you get a taste of TRUE nothingness!"

"I hope you know that my power will keep growing, regardless of Frisk's SOUL'S uncooperation."

"I do know that… AND I HATE IT! How!? Where is that POWER coming from!? You're almost… a billionth of a trillionth of a quadrillionth of my power."

"DAMN YOU!"

"HEHEHEHEHE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU CAN'T WIN! YOU'RE A DEVIL AGAINST A GOD! GOD'S ALWAYS BEAT DEVILS! YOU CAN'T WIN WITH NOTHING BUT EVIL! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WANT TO DESTROY, AND I DON'T CARE! YOU'RE EVIL, SO I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! AND THEN I'LL RULE THIS WORLD FOREVER! AND THERE IS NOTHING. YOU. CAN. DO. TO. STOP. ME. Do you understand? NOTHING!"

"I know something."

A glowing blade, tinged with the darkest of crimson, appeared in Gaster's hand.

He smiled.

Sorry about updating this rather than my other fics, but I've been pretty inspired for this one, I'm running out of ideas for EndTale, and I don't have as much time on my hands as I'd had before. Please review honestly, 'cause I'd like nothing more than some constructive criticism. Then again, raving reviews in all caps about how great it is are also readily accepted! :)
