Five Nights of Redemption

Hey guys this chapter 10 of Redemption, at this point I'd like to say thanks for all who have read and there still more to come so let go.

Chapter 10: the fire of a hero

With new found determination Undyne felt invisible, she had only done this once before when she was fighting alongside Asgore during the war against the humans, she needed all the power she could get, when she was a child her father told her of a secret that only her species of monster could achieve, he said "if ever you go into battle and lose an eye like me, it's not all bad, if anything it's a blessing in disguise, if you take off your eye patch your eye glows and you receive a tremendous power, but just don't go trying to take your eye out" of course being as adventurous as Undyne was even at a young age she didn't listen and she stabbed her eye out with a folk.

Now though it serves as her source of power that can't be removed because technically it already has been, she now stands in the way of everyone/everypony ready to fight them, kill them and if she finds out some of them are actually human she will take them to Asgore, providing their souls last unlike other human souls of the past.

Monster Kid: "seriously Undyne, I just asked why you keep killing humans"

Undyne: "well now you know so you can stop asking, I don't enjoy it, I don't do it for fun, it's not a sport it's a crime, but what can I do?"

Twilight: "you can stop"

Rainbow Dash: "yeah, just look at you, you are awesome but killing is not cool"

Undyne: "I know, but Asgore is still the King of monsters and I'm his best guard so I have to obey him, if not well... let's just say his not the best person to be around when he's upset"

Toriel: "and you think I am when I'm upset?"

Undyne: "oh no you're much worse, but he's a king and you abdicated with makes you a peasant"

Toriel: "did he say that?"

Undyne: "yes, and he said he was sorry"

Toriel: "well I'd like to see his face when I burst in and burn that half backed beard of his"

Undyne: "you'd have to get past me first"

Toriel was more than glad to have at Undyne now, even if she was still with Asgore no one calls her a peasant, Undyne was going to fight her but she saw that Fluttershy had a green soul around her cutie mark which she found strange, Chica had the same soul but that was it no cutie mark, so Undyne went for her and engaged a shield onto her, this made her kind soul the new centre and her cutie mark the shield holder, she had to move her mark around to direct the shield and deflect the spears but as her name would imply she was too shy.

Rarity: "Fluttershy darling, don't be so shy, this is your moment, you can beat her"

Applejack: "yeah you can do it sugar cube, I believe in ya"

Rainbow Dash: "this is your chance to be awesome"

Chica: "you are kind and gentle but that don't mean you can't be rough on though who deserve it"

Fluttershy: "ok, I'll do my best"

Vinyl: "that's the spirit"

Fluttershy then practised using the shield but in the middle of that Undyne through her spears and Fluttershy was put on the spot, she deflected most of the first wave but she was still too slow to stop all of them and she was hurt, she was confident enough to carry on and Undyne launched more spears, she was throwing more at a higher speed and Fluttershy had trouble keeping up with them but the more she deflected the faster she got.

Fluttershy's confidence only grow after getting past another wave of spears, but Undyne had a trick up her sleeve, she actually throw the spears backwards which was weird how they were even designed for that, Fluttershy wasn't expecting that, when she ever saw spears used in the pony universe they have feathers on them only allowing for forward motion, but Undyne's spears are made different.

As they came closer they flipped around Fluttershy and came in from the opposite direction, she had to think fast and move her cutie mark very quickly to deflect the spear, she was having a very hard time dealing with all the different spears that she was about to collapse from the pressure at least until Undyne let up and used the spear in her had to return her cutie mark to her centre.

Fluttershy was now given room to move and she felt a bit relived only to have spears appear and close in on her, she had to find a way out so she wasn't crushed but as she escaped another wave of spears appeared, she was getting very tired and Undyne could see it and finished her off with a swing of her own spear.

Fluttershy: "I couldn't beat her, I'm sorry everypony"

Twilight: "it's alright, you did a very good job at deflecting her spears"

Papyrus: "well given the circumstances, you did all you could"

Pinkie: "hey cheer up, I wouldn't know the first thing about sword play or fencing"

Undyne: "have to say, despite your shy nature, you are a natural at this, you should keep your chin up, now my next fight will be with that Chicken"

Mike: "you up for this Chica?"

Chica: "of course I am, don't worry Mike I'll be fine"

Undyne: "ready to die Chicken?"

Chica: "oh don't you worry, no one or pony is dying today, and you may find that I have a rather electric personality"

Sans: "wow, that was pretty good"

Chica awaited the swing of Undyne's spear as she stood ready to face her, Undyne did so and Chica got her shield, Undyne started off easy again and used her spears by throwing them forwards, Chica could see them coming and deflected them with ease, Undyne was impressed and smiled at the skilled Chicken but the next move through Chica off, she expected Undyne to throw more spears but instead she turned her soul red and the battle field widened, Chica knew what was coming a prepared to see spears come for her in all directions, they did so and Chica got moving fast.

The spears came thick and fast, Chica was pushed to her limits just to avoid them which with every passing wave got harder and harder, some she barely got through by the skin of her beak, Undyne only let up when she got bored and used her own spear to turn her soul green again, giving her the shield and throwing her spears backwards, but she was so tired that just the first backwards spears to appear had her beat.

Chica: "ha... I couldn't... beat... her, she's... too... strong"

Toriel: "Chica, Fluttershy, my children you have done very well, here have some pie"

Toriel took some butterscotch pie out and gave it to Chica and Fluttershy and they enjoyed it.

Toriel: "so now I believe it is my turn"

Stuart: "when do I get a turn?"

Toriel: "well there's not just you but I'm sure a few other's that I'm sure have not fought in a while either but now is not the time, this one is mine"

Morice: "go for it mum, she called you a peasant"

Toriel: "indeed, I am aware"

Undyne: "I know you are now the former Queen but to fight you feels wrong, I used to serve you so to fight you would be treason"

Toriel: "but if you don't Asgore will be upset, won't he?"

Undyne: "actually he'd probably be happy to see you"

Toriel: "will he now, I don't think he'd be too pleased to hear what I have to say"

Toriel stepped up to Undyne just asking to engage in the fight, she didn't know what to do, yes Toriel was now considered a civilian by Asgore but she didn't want to hurt her and surely Asgore would fell the same about it, Toriel came in to the battle field none the less so Undyne gave her a green soul and she started to defend herself.

Toriel deflected and dodged every spear Undyne had in her arsenal, she was not going to let any of the anthros get their human souls stolen by Asgore, she would have to die for that to happen, but then weirdly enough she felt like that had already happened, she thought that maybe Flowey had been around and Freddy had gone back in time to save them and put Flowey at bay for now.

Undyne tried one last thing, with the power of her missing eye at max she summoned one massive spear and threw it towards Toriel and watched as it slowly made its way to her, Toriel could see that it was impossible to dodge and without a strong enough shield to protect her she had only one option.

Undyne: "I'm sorry my Queen but this is where you fall and the reign as the King of monsters shall belong to Asgore"

Toriel: "I shall accept my fate only to return as a more powerful being and destroy you"

The spear hit Toriel and a massive cloud of smoke covered the area, everyone/everypony thought Toriel was dead and they all focused their attention on Undyne who herself was sad, in fact she had lost her will to fight and put her eye patch back on making her revert back to her normal form.

Undyne: "she was a great Queen, I'm sad to see her go, I climb full responsibility to her demise and wish to only kill again in the name of King Asgore"

Toriel: "I'd hold off on any grand speeches my children"

Everyone/everypony: "TORIEL?"

Toriel was indeed alive, she has her own shield and armour that was strong enough to withstand a blow of even that magnitude, it was the armour she had when she was Queen, she decided to keep it, it was hers after all, it was called Dreemurr armour because one it was reserved for the Dreemurr family only, and two it could take in lots of damage and still not even look scratched.

Undyne had completely forgot about that armour since Asgore never seems to wear it, he just wears standard armour that just so happens to have the Dreemurr crest on it, Toriel was now confident that they had won this fight and could now move on to finding Alphys' lab and ask her about any info she may have on Flowey.

Undyne: "well you beat me, I'm exhausted, I couldn't come up with anything else even if I try, I'm out of energy"

Sans: "great now you can take us to Alphys so we can find out about Flowey"

Monster Kid: "what? Who's Flowey?"

Papyrus: "he's a flower that used to be a child much like yourself, but has lost his soul"

Monster Kid: "wow, that sounds like such a heartbreaker, what kid did he used to be"

Chip: "we believe he used to be Asriel Dreemurr, but was killed be his human friend"

Undyne: "no, that is exactly what happened"

Toriel: "wait you know?"

Undyne: "yes, I want you all to follow me"

So everyone/everypony followed Undyne back towards the waterfall that lead them here in the first place, back through the dump and toward an area of Waterfall that not many of them have ever been before, there was a small cave hidden among the rocks that was very wet due to the amount of water in the Waterfall area and in the centre of the small cave stood a stone sculpture of Asriel, Finn felt the emotion of it as he had rock power and at times can fell stiff if he doesn't move much, to see a statue of the child they're trying to save was like a hammer to the heart.

Undyne: "after the death of your son we made this, it was at the hotel but then that Mettaton removed it and put it here, now it just sits here getting wet and ruined by the moss that grows on it"

Toriel: "oh Asriel, my child, if I'd known that a statue was made for you I would have come to see it every day, I would have brought flowers and notes just to tell you how much I love you, how much I miss you, how much... you mean to me"

Mike: "mum, I feel the same way, did I ever tell you that back in my human life I lost my parents?"

Undyne: "wait, you were human?"

Mike: "yeah and so were the rest of us anthros but you missed your chance so shush"

Toriel: "no you didn't, wow you must have been hurting for a while"

Mike: "yeah I was, but then I had Chip here for me, he was so understanding and helped me through it and now we are the best of friends"

Toriel: "well thanks for sharing that with me, makes me feel better"

Mike: "you're welcome, hey, where is that umbrella?"

Toriel searched her inventory to get the umbrella, she picked it out and gave it to Mike, Mike then climbed to the top of the statue and put the umbrella into a gap between the head and the ear of the statue, it stopped the water from dripping on the statue's head and perhaps severed a more metaphoric purpose too.

Toriel: "oh my Mike my child... that's so thoughtful of you, to stop the water like that, maybe some of the turmoil Flowey is going through will cease now"

Mike: "oh we aren't done yet, Chip if you would kindly play my fav song, Opal, Ashe if you would kindly provide as backup"

Opal: "oh no, Ashe please go get the tissues"

Ashe: "yeah this is going to make people cry"

Mike wanted to sing a song about losing yourself and needed someone to help you pull out of despair and ruin.

(Now play Not Alone by RED)

Mike: "slowly fading away, you're lost and so afraid,

Where is the hope, in a world so cold?

Looking for a distant light, someone who can save a life,

Living in fear, that no one will hear your cry,

Can you save me now?

I am with you, I will carry you through it all,

I won't leave you, I will catch you,

When you fell like letting go, cus you're not, you're not alone,

Your heart is full of broken dream, just a fading memory,

And everything's gone, but the pain carries on,

Lost in the rain again, when will it ever end?

The arms of relief, seem so out of reach but I,

I am here,

I am with you, I will carry you through it all,

I won't leave you, I will catch you,

When you fell like letting go, cus you're not, you're not alone,

And I will be your hope, when you feel like it's over,

And I will pick you up, when your whole world shatters,

And when you're finally in my arms, look up and see love has a face,"

When the song was done just about everyone and most certainly everypony was crying, which for Applejack was on the inside, and Toriel was an absolute train emotional wreck at this point, she was just so happy that her children didn't even know the first thing about her biological child but had enough respect to do all this because of a statue, Opal and Ashe barely even got through the song without crying but they did their best, Toriel had to thank Mike for this.

Toriel: "Mike... thank you so much, I cannot believe that you could care for someone you don't actually know"

Mike: "look, if Flowey is Asriel then we need to get his feelings back, was he very emotive"

Toriel: "oh yes, he was always looking out for other monsters and the flowers that grow in the ruins, he was always fascinated in them and when Chara feel down the hole he was always looking out for him, they became like brothers"

Chip: "who's Chara?"

Toriel: "he was the first human to ever fall down here, but he was naive and foolish... and killed Asriel"

Mike: "sounds like a somewhat similar story don't you think?"

Marionette: "yes, tragedy strikes again"

Freddy: "well then that gives us all the more reason to help, what about you Twilight?"

Twilight: "if there's a chance we can get Asriel back then I will help and I'm sure my friends will be by my side"

Everyone/everypony now wants to help with saving Flowey but they still need to get to Alphys to confirm the theory that Flowey is Asriel, they were about to go back to the Hotlands when they spotted something or someone was blocking their path, it was Flowey.

Flowey: "and where do you think you're going?"

Toriel: "Flowey... Asriel, it is I, your mother, please let us past we only need some more information about you then we can help you and perhaps bring you back"

Flowey: "bring me back, don't you think I've already tried that? No your souls will turn me into a god and with them, I'm going to kill Asgore the fool and use your souls to brake the barrier and then destroy every single human that even dears to exist"

Mike: "come on Flowey, you are not a monster, per say, you're just a scared little boy that just wants to go home and be loved, right?"

Flowey: "wouldn't you like to know but the fact is, you're an idiot and you have progressed too much so, it's time to have fun, I'm sending you back to the pony universe and you can take your friends with you"

An inter dimensional vortex opened up sucking everyone/everypony into it, Flowey was controlling the whole thing leading them through different universes all the time, while going through the vortex they saw what looked like an old British police box with a blue light on top... strange, when they exited the vortex they found themselves at the Crystal Empire in Equestria, in a heap again of course.

Cadence: "oh Celestia, Luna, thank goodness you are back, I have some troubling news to report"

Celestia: "yes what is it?"

Cadence: "well it's about the mirror to the human world at Canterlot high, Sunset Shimmer came through and ponynaped Starlight Glimmer and now I'm worried, they may work to destroy Equestria and use the human world as some kind of hub or base"

Cyril: "don't you worry princess, we'll do our best to stop them"

Pamela: "as loyal subjects we'll put an end to any plans they may have for your destruction"

Twilight: "wait, Sunset did this, oh I thought I was getting though to her, all our talks about friendship were going so well"

Rarity: "and she was really warming up to us, I wonder what could have coursed this?"

Luna: "we'll have to go through the mirror find her and Starlight and see what is happening"

Pinkie: "and then throw a PARTY"

Rainbow Dash: "really Pinkie"

Pinkie: "what, it's been ages since we've had a party I need one now"

Vinyl: "yeah, I'm with her"

Celestia: "no that's enough, we've had a long and hard day at MT. Ebott so now I believe we should rest, Cadence, could you provide us with some more rooms please, we have more friends with us tonight"

Cadence: "of course princess, Shining, stop playing with Flurry Heart and take our guests to their Chambers"

Toriel: oh my, I haven't seen proper Chambers in so long"

Shining Armour led everyone/everypony to their chambers, the crew got the ones from last time before they went to MT. Ebott, the ponies got the one they all slept in when Luna first reviled the Tantibus and as for Toriel, Sans, Papyrus and Undyne well, Toriel got one right next to Celestia and Luna's, Undyne got the guards chambers and Sans and Papyrus got the one down the hall and shared it.

Everyone/everypony rested up ready to help the ponies with another threat to Equestria, the monsters didn't mind helping either as the ponies had proven themselves strong willed and good friends, they would help anyone in a pickle if they needed it, it really is just like they say, friendship is magic.

So that was chapter 10 of Five Nights of Redemption I hope you enjoyed it and that you'll come back for more, and I hope you liked the way I put the song in for this one cus I did lol, but of course till next time
