*SLASH*

"GAAAH!!!" I shriek from the pain...I really am weak aren't I...

"You really are a fool you know that Alphons." I look up at cinder who is standing over me

"To think that you of all people could stall for time and with what a puny little blaster and a ax that you had no experience in whatsoever" she said this in a taunting way

"Maybe you should've died along with your tribe or hide away like the coward you are." I lower my head...

It's true I am a coward...I could've helped so many people back at the tribe...I could've...I could've even saved those who meant so much to me...

Papyrus...

U...Undyne...

Mettaton...

Sans...

Asgore...

Everyone...

Instead I hid like a coward and watched those who mattered so much to me get taken away right before my eyes...

But in my cowardice I was able to save fifteen other members of the tribe...at least they are safe...I hope...

Maybe it is my time to die...I have hurt so many with my experiments to bring back those who passed on...

Even Ruby hates me for when I tried to bring back Summer...only for Summer to come back as...something else...something that was in so much pain...and Ruby hates my very existence for it...

Everyone who is evacuating are seeing this live from their scrolls...and I'm pretty sure that Ruby is probably celebrating knowing that I'm going to die here...

It's funny...they say when you are dying your life flashes before your eyes...I...I can see Undyne...she...She's waiting for me...

I collapse to my knees...and start to sing

*play "Battle Against a True Hero" by Chi-Chi*

"Trembling within the breeze I can feel my soul is shaking"

I can feel myself getting weaker...

"Even with a single blow everything that is comes undone"

I look towards cinder, more specifically her twin glass swords

"Using every ounce of strength of strength just to keep myself from breaking..."

I try to push myself to stand but fall to a kneel

"I...can only watch you walk by~..."

I see Cinder starting to walk passed me knowing that I couldn't buy Ozpin enough time to transfer the remaining fall maiden powers to Pyrrah...

I close my eyes as tears fall from them...if this is my punishment for all I've done...to be remembered as a failure for all of the pain I caused then I accept my fate...

I feel a hand on my shoulder...I look up seeing the ethereal form of Undyne smiling at me...she then turns a little to show everyone from the tribe smiling at me...even though they all know what I have done...

My eyes widen...I then manage to turn around to see Cinder who is halfway to the door...a door that will change everything...and not for good...

I feel more hands pressed on my back and shoulders...I turn and see everyone in a sort of ethereal form...and I don't mean just my tribe...but everyone...my tribe...the Branwen tribe...the criminals...the huntsman and huntresses...the maidens...the white fang...faunas...humans...Ozpin...Glynda...Port...Oobleck...Penny...Qrow...Winter...Summer...Pyrrha...Ren...Nora...Jaune...Yang...Blake...Weiss...And...Ruby...

They're telling me...telling me...to not give up...they're pushing me forward...because I can do this...

I...

I...am...

I AM THE HOPE THAT EVERYONE BELIEVES IN!!!

I feel it...everyone...they fuel my determination...yes...DETERMINATION!!!

a glow resonates from my body as Cinder stops to look at me with surprise as my aura levels start to skyrocket

I know this feeling...this feeling of power being unlocked...this...this is my semblance...MY DETERMINATION

My body starts to glow completely white as it starts to become so blinding that Cinder had to shield her eyes as wind starts to pick up

"HOLDING ON TO EVERYTHING EVEN WHEN BODY SHATTERS"

My wounds heal nearly immediately

"I WILL NEVER LET YOU PASS EVEN WHEN MY TEARS HAVE RUN DRY"

My ax floats into my hand and it glows white as well and starts to change

"BEATING WITH OUR HEARTS AS ONE EVERYONE I KNOW IS PRAYING"

The glow starts to fade and Cinder looks surprised as I look and feel different

My left eye is now completely blackened like i lost it, my lab coat has burned away and changed into a type of black armour with an orange shape reminiscing a heart, my ax has changed into a double sided battle ax

"I WILL CUT YOU DOWN"

Ethereal axes start to appear around me

"DO"

I then charge at Cinder

"OR"

Cinder then charges at me

"DIE~"

Our weapons then clash

This is who I am

This is who everyone is hoping for

Praying for

Crying for

For I am not the same Alphons that everyone knew

I am...

ALPHONS THE ALPHA

I...hope...you...can...forgive...me

R...u...b...y...
