A/N: ...Everyone's probably gonna hate me for this... but... in the words of Pewdiepie: "I DON'T CAAAAAARE!"
Chapter 14
Spear of Protection vs. Spear of Justice
Trekking through the rest of the Waterfall was simple, since we didn't have to dodge spears being thrown at us in a few sections, from what Frisk told me. We did have to jump down into the garbage dump, which did hurt on impact. But from what I remember… there… was a voice…
"Oh! You're hurt! Lemme help you! … What's your name? Chara? That's a pretty name… . . . " The voice cut of when I was shaken awake by Frisk.
"Ugh… My head…" I stood up, helped by Frisk. "Was someone speaking?"
"Speaking? I tried to get you to wake up by calling your name…" Frisk looked concerned. "Are you hurt that bad?"
"No, someone was…" The dream had left my memory quickly, and I sighed. "Nevermind…" I started to walk forwards, seeing a waterfall with trash floating down it. Frisk looked at it for a moment, looking DETERMINED for a moment again. I advanced forwards, just trying to make it to the Mountain Perch by the time Undyne specified. Suddenly, a DUMMY appeared in front of me.
"YOU! You're the one that didn't even say HELLO to my cousin! Now they're stuck all alone in the RUINS since his greatest friend hasn't shown up for WEEKS!" The dummy seemed not only angry, but pissed…
"Uhm… It's only been a few days since we left the ruins… Maybe a week at most." I scratched my head, nonchalantly reaching for my Spear.
"IT'S TIME YOU PAID FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST DUMMY-KIND!" It turned red, and I backed up a step. A wall blocked me off from Frisk, and she looked surprised. From her face, I could obviously tell that this hasn't happened before.

I grabbed my spear, my expression turning slightly angry. "I don't have time for this! If you hold me up here, than Undyne will kill her!" I pointed at Frisk. I dashed forwards slicing through the Dummy, and it fell apart, but it almost instantly reassembled. I growled slightly. "This is gonna be harder than I thought…"
"IDIOT! I'm incorporeal! I can only be hurt by mag-OWCH!" I had tossed my spear at it, and the spear had collected flames as it traveled. It sunk deep into the Dummy, and the Dummy started to turn to dust. "H-How…"
"I don't care if I kill. What matters is Frisk getting to the Barrier." I could probably say my eyes were glowing green again… I felt protective towards Frisk, and I didn't want her getting hunted down by Undyne. The Dummy collapsed in a pile of dust, and I rubbed my temples.
"*'Felix' LV 5?! You gained that much EXP from a DUMMY?!" I shrugged, not really giving a damn at the moment. "*'Felix's' Stats: HP 37/37, ATK 10 (+12) DEF 30 (+4)… Jesus, you're strong…" "I just wanted to make sure Frisk didn't get hunt down. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to meet with Undyne…" I started dashing off, shouldering my spear. I can't tell how far I ran… I dashed past someone named Monster Kid, but I helped him get up a ledge using my spear. Finally, I walked over a bridge, where Monster Kid came up to me again.
"Yo… You're a human… right?" I nodded. "Heh… Undyne told me… She… She also said that you killed someone…. Th-That's not true, right?! You could never kill someone!"
I sighed… "He so innocent and pure… this is gonna break his heart…" "…I did kill someone… A monster was trying to keep my friend and I in the garbage dump… If I stayed there, my friend might've gotten hurt or died… I don't care what happens to me because of what I did. I don't even care if I die, but I want my friend to make it to the Barrier alive." Monster Kid looked away. "Look, Monster Kid… You can run away, you can attack me… You can tell Undyne I'm nearly there, you can even accompany me to see the fight… Just… Don't tell my friend Frisk about it, alright? She probably thinks I'm a monster, and I just don't want her getting hurt more, or hurting herself because of her thoughts…"
Monster Kid thought for a while. "I wanna help you fight Undyne!" He looked serious, and I looked at him like he'd grown another body. "Yo, you're fighting for all the right reasons! You just wanna protect your friends! Yo, when I grow up, I wanna be like you!" I smiled, and ruffled the fins on his head, motioning for him to follow. "Heh, cool! J-Just… don't tell my parents, alright?" I nodded.
I stood at the base of a small mountain, and Undyne stood proud on top of it. Monster Kid stood next to me. "He's really serious about helping me fight Undyne…" "Alright, Undyne. I met your time limit. We can fight." I drew my spear, sighing.
"I will once the small child next to you goes back home…" Undyne seemed very stern.
"Yo, Undyne!" Monster Kid had an unnaturally serious look on his face. "My friend Felix here… He's fighting to protect his friend, Frisk! He's even willing to die to save her!" Undyne crossed her arms, her expression telling him to go home. "I won't go home! I'll stay here and fight with Felix, to help him protect his friend!" I smiled, spinning my spear in my hand.
"Do you even know what this human has done?" Undyne looked livid. "He killed a monster! He deserves to die, more so now than ever!"
"He did it to save his friend, because he knew if he didn't face you by the time you said, you'd hunt down his friend! He had to! You'd do the same thing!" Monster Kid stepped forwards, and I readied an attack just in case I had to defend him too. "If anyone you felt close to, like that skeleton named Papyrus, you'd go ballistic, and make sure to kill whatever was trying to hurt him, right?!"
Undyne looked shocked and remained silent. I stepped forwards, placing myself between Monster Kid and Undyne. I whispered back to him. "If she attacks, I don't care if you want to fight with me… Just retreat to a safe distance. You don't have to leave, just make sure that you're save from any collateral attacks…" Monster Kid nodded, and I looked up. "I'm prepared to fight Undyne, so whenever you're ready…" I got into a defensive position.
"I'LL BE READY TO GIVE IT ALL I'VE GOT!"
Undyne leapt down as I charged forwards, our spears colliding as we were both blasted backwards. Monster Kid still stood there, appearing to charge an attack? Undyne was mainly targeting me, so I figured Kid was safe. Our spears clashed and I felt my SOUL pulse and get stronger. Undyne's reaction told me all I needed to know. "W-What?! Y-You shouldn't be able to move when your SOUL is green!"
I laughed, charging forwards again. "My SOUL already is green!" I leapt up, manifesting a spear in my off hand and throwing it. It missed Undyne by a mile, but now that I knew I could at least summon spears, I summoned another one in my off hand to attack.
I glanced over at Monster Kid, and he… was glowing?! "Yo, Felix, gimme a clear shot!" Apparently, Undyne was in the wrong place at the wrong time as Monster Kid shot a giant sword from his maw and skidded backwards. Time seemed to slow down for a few moments. Undyne seemed focused on me, and didn't even notice the giant sword moving towards her. So, in one of my classic fits of stupidity, I shoved Undyne away from the path of the sword. The adrenaline in my system didn't even prepare me for what was next. The sword pierced through me, nailing me to the wall. I coughed, blood running down my face and onto the blade. The last thing I remember is Undyne running towards me as I blacked out…
