Chapter 12

I pulled open the first box, and pulled out a phone. "Oh. My God. Thank you so much, Alphys." I said happily. This particular phone can hold one and a half yottabytes of data, can be on for a whole WEEK straight, and shoot lasers. And that's only to name a few.

I pulled open the next box, and found a large quilt. "Thank you, Toriel." It showed the same image that was on my cape, but less faded.

I ripped away the sloppily wrapped paper, and looked at the contents. Sans had given me a box of plastic swords. "Um… Thanks Sans."

I carefully opened up the plainly wrapped box, as I was told it was fragile. I pulled out a glass figure, and it was of a sword in a stone. I chuckled, and thanked Gaster for it. I carefully placed it on my bedside table.

I opened a box wrapped with what I thought was GasterBlaster print. It had a mask that could open and close, and it looked just like Calib's.

"I, uh, don't know what you like, so I just got you some money." Flowey said with a sheepish grin, and handed me thirty bucks. I handed ten back. Flowey smiled, and we shared a knowing look for a moment.

The next box I opened was blue, and had a couple spears sticking out of it. I opened it, and it was a plush blue spear. I giggled inwardly, and said thanks to Undyne.

Monster Kid handed me a box. Or rather, floated me a box, and I opened it to see a book about Galahad and the Holy Grail.

I opened the box that was clearly from Mettaton, and found a video camera. "Thanks, Mett."

Asgore handed me a box, which I opened and saw it contained a trident, but it was my size. I grinned, and thought for a moment.

Slim handed me a regular cardboard box. I opened it, and pulled out a gilded chalice. Thanks Slim.

Then came Papyrus' gift. It was a mini Papyrus plush.

The next was Chara's gift. It was a plush toy knife.

Then it was Frisk's turn. She waved us into the kitchen and then gave me a couple pieces of monster candy. Oh, how I love monster candy. It has a distinctly non-licorice flavor. We looked at the cake, and it was decorated to look like my helmet.

-=TWW=-

After the cake, and some hanging out, Frisk and I went to the park. When we got there, I saw a few children, with adults scattered around. Frisk groaned at some adults coming towards us. "Hello, Frisk. What brings you here this fine day? Come to finally renounce monsters? Come to your senses?" A man said, standing aside a grinning woman.

"I hate you with a passion, Mertinedd. Get over it. I'm no longer your child." Frisk snarled.

"I'm sorry, but you seem to be upsetting my little sister. So, I, the bigger brother, and loyal protector of Frisk J. Mertinedd-Dreemurr, Will have to take action if you are to hurt her." I cut in. "By the by, have you ever heard of Galahad the Pure, because if so, get ready to meet him." I drew a sword from seemingly nowhere when they took me for a nobody. It was a longsword, with a darksteel blade and a blood red gem set into the crossbar. "Why, I guess you never knew you had an angel in your midst." And my wings shot out as I lifted off the ground. "So, leave her alone, or I will become the deterMined murDerer. I may have integrity, but that doesn't mean I won't protect my friends, and my family."

They thought nothing of it, because they are IDIOTS, and I was forced to slash and try and scare them off. I caught the man on the shoulder. The woman dodged and thought for a moment. She bolted, but got caught by my magic. "Oh no, Steve Mertinedd, you're bleeding all over our nice ground." I said sarcastically. I trapped the two Mertinedds with magic, and took them to the police station with their case files, so that they can be proven guilty. I cuffed them with real metal cuffs, and gave the cops the key. They ended up being arrested for abuse, shoplifting, and several other things.

Dec. 30, 200X

Front yard, 12:45, A.M.

I heard loud noise coming from the house, but dismissed it as a party until I heard the crash of glass. I heard a young child yell in pain, and immediately stiffened. I turned into a shadow and rushed into the house. I took the place of the young child's shadow.

"You did this to us, you mistake!"

"We have no money because of you!"

And the two adults started beating the child. I went under the bed, turned into the Angel of Valor, and came out from under the bed. I saw their faces, and could immediately smell alcohol. These adults were drunk. My magic was clear in my eyes. The child couldn't see my face, but from their point of view, I evidently terrified the adults.

"You shall burn for your sins…" I whispered with a strange voice. I dug into their minds, and immediately learned their names, their ages, and the burning hatred they had for this child, which was named Faith in the woman's mind, and Frank in the man's. I decided I didn't care about the child as much as what the adults were doing to them. I taught them a lesson they will never forget, and lived on in the child's memories as the dark angel who saved their life. The adults then attacked me, destroying my right wing with a beer bottle, and sending glass everywhere. I lashed out, shattering part of the man's collarbone, and dislocating the woman's right arm.

Present day

I looked at Frisk's cheek, and saw a scar. I Thought for a moment, then decided against asking if she remembered me. "Hey, let's go home, 'kay?" I said at the first hint of tears.

She nodded, and we walked home slowly, processing what had just happened. In its sheath, the gem on my longsword glowed as the blood disappeared from the blade.

Damn.

I really gotta start telling people things.

Galahad is Frisk's hero. Even though she doesn't remember him that well, considering she was nine years old when she entered the Underground.
