A/N: Okay, before I go on my two-month hiatus from posting stories, I'm going to give you all a treat and post the last three chapters of this story, starting with this one. :) Enjoy! :)
Chapter 10: The Real Monster
The monsters trapped in Flowey's thorny vines squirmed around as the vines hurt them and forced them to mostly stay still. Frisk, Chara, and Asriel were also struggling and the small goat saw Flowey's thorny vines hurting his parents. "Stop it!" He demanded, but the evil flower ignored him.
Frisk looked at Flowey. "Release the others, please," she pleaded with him.
"Not a chance!" Flowey said. "Since Asgore refused to gather the traits we needed to break the barrier, the story of the three souls is the only way and it will be carried out!"
"No, it won't!" Chara cried out.
The evil flower looked at her. "One dies. One turns to genocide. One stays pacifist," he said. "The prince is the one who will die. You will be the genocide child, while your sister…she'll stay pacifist, but be under my control."
The three children looked at him and then looked at each other. "You're the real monster!" Asriel said.
"He's right!" Frisk said.
Chara gritted her teeth as the vine around her tightened and brought her up to Flowey who looked up as a giant RESET button appeared above his head. "It's time to restart the story," he said evilly.
The three siblings struggled before seeing the three red hearts in the flower's thorny vines and Chara suddenly perked up, remembering something. "Gaster said Asriel had determination from being around humans," she said to herself as an idea formed in her head and she turned her head to see Gaster bound by vines beside his younger brothers. "Gaster! What are the seven traits? The ones originally needed to break the barrier? What colors are they?" She called out to him.
The skeleton looked at her. "They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple," he said, wondering what she meant. "In order: determination, bravery, justice, kindness, patience, integrity, and perseverance."
Frisk's eyes widened. "The six people who died," she said. "They had each of those traits, except determination. The girl with cancer: her trait was patience. The old war veteran: his trait was bravery. The lady judge: her trait was justice. The young boy's trait was kindness. The mother and the baby: the mother's trait was perseverance and her child's trait was integrity."
"Yes," said Asgore.
Chara now looked at them. "You guys have those traits too!" She said.
"What do you mean, kiddo?" Sans asked.
"From being around humans!" She said. "Gaster said Asriel gained determination from behind around his human families! You guys were around the six humans who fell before us. Not only that, when we fought you guys, your magic was different, depending on who we faced!"
Asriel began to think about it. "She's right!" He said. "Sans' magic is blue! Papyrus' is orange! Undyne's is green!"
"Exactly!" Chara exclaimed excitedly.
Frisk also realized what her sister was saying. "Grillby, what color is your power?" She asked.
"Yellow," he answered, curious as to what the children were up to.
"Shut up!" Flowey said sharply.
"Not a chance!" Chara said with a grin as she looked at the monster. "You guys have those traits too! You can break the barrier!"
"But only a human can do that," Undyne said uncertainly.
Now having caught on what their sister was driving at, Asriel looked at Frisk and nodded and she nodded back. "That's what we're here for," she said.
The three red hearts in Flowey's vines glowed brighter as the three siblings felt determination fill them and they turned to their friends, who looked at each other and suddenly, their souls began glowing too, the colors mixing together and blending together into a vortex that Flowey, who had been about to press the RESET button, was forced to watch as the colors then became a very bright vortex and he turned away, gritting his teeth. "Stop!" He demanded and threw out flower pellets in every direction.
Seeing this, Sans concentrated his power and stopped the pellets, but this was hard on him because Flowey kept throwing pellets at them and his thorny vines tightened, making them all gasp in pain. "Let them go, you monster!" Frisk said sharply to him.
The most evil laugh escaped the evil flower as his visage turned very ugly and he glared at them all. "No one will stop me from making sure the story of the three souls happens!" He said, one vine raised to strike Asriel while the other two girls felt vines wrap around their heads and make them see their brother die in front of them.
"NO!" Toriel screamed out.
The monsters' souls and the kids souls became even brighter, blinding Flowey, who tried to glare, but couldn't as all of a sudden, a blast of rainbow-colored light originating from the vortex of colors hit him head on, making him scream as he waved his vines around, the ones around his prisoners loosening and allowing them to get away as the rainbow light grew even brighter and Flowey's screams increased in volume as slowly, his vines began turning white and shattering like glass. With each vine shattering, the light seemed to get a little bit brighter before they were all forced to shield their eyes as the blast of light was now at full strength and Flowey turned all white, his screaming the only sound besides the sound of the brightening light as the evil flower then shattered like glass, destroyed forever.
But not a sound came from the three children or the monsters as they all passed out as one from pain and exhaustion as silence filled Asgore's throne room once more.
Well, Flowey won't be making sure the story of the three souls ends the way it was told, but did they all make it before he pressed the RESET button? Is the story going to be retold or will the monsters finally be freed from the Underground? Read on! :)
