AN: Time for more Chaos, Chaos! Enjoy!
Chapter Nineteen: Of Monsters and Flowers and Humans
(Kris POV)
I felt it happen again. I was laying in my room when I felt the RESET again. Why is this happening now? Who was performing the RESET?
"Susie tells me you locked your door. What's the matter Kris?" Penny knocks on my door to get my attention just like earlier. I draw a deep breath and wipe my tears away and make a dumb decision.
I unlock the door and Penny falls over into the door. I ignore her and start running for the exit. I needed to stop the RESET. I barely make it three feet out the exit when I feel someone jump on me.
"What is your problem?" Penny says as she pins me to the ground and I growl.
"Let me go!" I yell as I push her off. I couldn't let her stop me.
"Kris. You know something is going on. What. Is. It?!" Susie shouted at me and I turn away.
"Someone is doing something horrible and I need to stop it. No you won't come with." I say quickly before running out of the cave and into the Cavern. I hear them follow me and I run faster, but am unable to lose them.
I pant as I am able to reach the exit of the Cavern. It was a long run, but it was needed to go back to the Dreemurr Kingdom to figure out the situation.
"Kris!" Susie shouts as she exits the Cavern behind me as does Penny.
"Nice to know the name of one of my next victims." I hear a voice say behind us. We turn around and see a flower with a face, surrounded by thorny vines and white bullets.
"Who are you?!" Penny shouts as a vine tries to hit her, but she dances around it. The bullets fly at me and Susie but we jump over them.
"Flowey. Flowey the Flower." The flower responded with a grin as he continued to send barrages of attacks at us that we dodged.
"Where have I heard that name before?" I wonder as we keep dodging and suddenly it hits me. The Chara from my world brought us to her original world and forced us to fight this creature. It had no soul and could RESET! He's the one who's been doing it.
"Susie! Remember our fight with a flower like him before!" I shout to Susie when she starts dodging away from me.
"It's exactly like that, only two less people." Susie realizes and starts slashing through the vines with her axe. Flowey disappears for a split second before appearing right behind Penny!
"No!" Susie shouts as she throws her axe at the flower. Too little, too late as Flowey already stabbed a vine through Penny's Integrity Soul and it shattered.
I take deep breaths to keep my magic stable and summon my sword. I start slashing away vines and making my way over to Flowey. Flowey tries to summon pellets to attack me, but I summon my shield and absorb all of them.
"Die!" I shout as I shoot a beam of red magic out of my sword and at Flower who just grins and takes the attack. When the dust settles I see him still there.
"That did more than tickle!" Flowey screeched as a small flower appeared next to him and a beam of read shot at me. I quickly duck and let the beam fly over my head.
"Susie!" I shout to my best friend, "Use physical attacks! He will absorb any magic ones!"
Susie nods and launches herself at the flower and Flowey tries to fend heroff and fails.
Susie reaches Flowey and slashes at his flowery head and the flower quickly ducks underground.
"FUCK!" Susie shouts when she missed and hit the ground.
"Where is he?" I asked scanning the area and quickly looking over Penny's dead body.
"Here!" I hear Flowey say behind me and I quickly jump back and the vine barely misses me. But now I am struggling to keep my balance over the edge of Hotland. With lava below me if I fell.
"I got you." Susie quickly grabs my hand, ignoring Flowey. I gasp as Flowey has ten vines tear Susie into pieces. I lose my balance and fall down.
I don't scream as I fall. Suddenly I feel my back hit hard ground. I turn over and see that I barely missed the lava below. I look up and see the vines disappear into the Cavern. I try to get back up, but I can't move. I rub my hand across my back and feel that my spine had broken.
I lay there for quite some time, maybe 8 to 7 hours with nothing to do. Suddenly I hear footsteps approach.
"I swear I saw a figure over the edge when crossing this bridge." I hear a snobby voice say.
"Down here." I call out and suddenly I see a raven racoon monster look down and glare at me.
"A human." The monster winces and I roll my eyes.
"Yeah whatever. I can't move and don't want to die. Can you help me out of here?" I call up and the monster disappears for a second before a metallic arm reaches down and grabs me.
"I'm only showing mercy until that flower is taken care of. Then your soul will be collected for the King." The monster scoffs as I am brought up.
"NPTN you carry her to the Evacuation Center." The monster tells the robot that helped me up and the robot nods before carrying me over the bridge back into the Dreemurr Kingdom.
"What's your name?" I ask the monster as he walks in front of the robot.
"I am Baron Raven, the Royal Scientist." The monster says arrogantly with head held high.
"Oh yeah you're him. Chara and Asriel had some choice words about you. I'm pretty sure I needed my ears scrubbed out after that." I taunt and the monster rolls his eyes.
"I'm sure. I never did get along with those two. Anyways, here we are. Guards! Baron Raven requesting entrance!" Raven yells and suddenly a metallic door opens and shows two guards that stare at me.
"She's with me. Don't worry, her soul will be collected by Asgore when he returns." Raven assures the guards who nod and let us enter.
When I am carried by a crowd of monsters I hear mutters about me being here.
"I shouldn't have saved you." Raven says as he places me down on a bed near the back of the Evacuation Center.
"NPTN. You will patrol outside this center and if you see any living flower, attack it immediately and do not hesitate." Raven orders the robot who nods and walks off.
"So, what can you tell me about you that I haven't heard from Asriel and Chara?" I ask and Raven glares.
"I saved you for your soul, not small talk." Raven says and I roll my eyes.
"You try to act tough, but if that was the case you wouldn't have saved me." I retort and Raven opens his mouth to retort me but looks away when he can't
"So are you a kid? Because you look like one. And if that's the case, why were you near lava with a broken back?" Raven asked trying to gain information
"If you are Asriel's age and he is 20, then I think I am two years older." I say as I stretch my neck
"And thus means I can do this." I say as I pull his head to me and kiss his cheek.
"Thanks for saving me. Even if you do try to come off as arrogant." I thank him and he stutters.
"Uh… I need to go." Raven hurriedly says and runs off and I giggle. I just lay and stare at the ceiling for a while. Penny, dead. Susie, dead. My fault. I tried to rush into danger to stop the RESET and I got them killed. One torn to shreds and the other, their soul shattered.
"How exactly did you end up on the edge of the side of Hotland with a broken back?" Raven asks as he approaches me.
"I fought a flower monster named Flowey. He killed two of my friends and he thought I had fallen into lava." I say with tears coming out of my eyes.
After a moment of silence, Raven speaks up. "Tell me everything he attacked you with." Raven demands.
"He used large thorny vines as his main weapon, he used small little magic bullets as magic attacks, he ducked underground to dodge attacks, and he can absorb magical attacks and unleash them with a small flower that he summons." I list off the attacks I can think of and Raven nods.
"I need to contact the King to warn him. He should be in Waterfall like he said he was going to be." Raven says before running off into another room, right as a Temmie enters the room.
"HoI, I TeM and You NEeD heAlINg. TEm help." The Temmie says in broken English and turns me on my back and starts using healing magic. I just lay there without fighting back and let her heal me. After around an hour the Temmie finishes.
"tEM doN. ReST and YOu WilL bE GOOd fOR tOmORroW." The Temmie tells me before skipping away on all four legs.
"Seems like Temmie did her job well." I hear a female speak up and I turn and see a female Madjick.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Madjia. I came to check that Temmie did her job well. It looks like she did. Have a good night." The monster says before floating away leaving me alone once more.
(Third Person POV)
Asgore walked slowly through an empty Waterfall. So far he had found nothing that indicated an attack. He spent a lot of time looking everywhere after the Tem Village so he could postpone seeing the dead. But he knew that they were somewhere.
"Asgore." Asgore hears Gerson say in front of him at the end of the lantern room.
"Gerson." Asgore says in a tired tone.
"Then you're here to take the dead human souls." Gerson said and Asgore nodded sadly.
"Have you seen the dead?" Asgore asks and Gerson nods.
"So much dust. I haven't seen so much since… well the Human-Monster War." Gerson pauses in the middle of his sentence and Asgore nods.
"I never wanted for war, but I needed to strive for their souls." Asgore said as they started walking through the room of light mushrooms above Tem Village.
"There can be alternate methods! You're trying to kill children!" Gerson shouted at his former best friend.
"I promised this was the way I would do so, and when you promise to the Goddess. I can't take it back." Asgore stared down at a mushroom cluster.
"It's not just that. Toriel. All she ever wanted in life was wealth and power, and by marrying her when we were sealed you sealed your horrible future." Gerson said dragging his hammer through the marsh.
"It was on my father's last wish." Asgore poorly excused and Gerson pointed his hammer to Asgore's crown.
"You deserved that crown from your experiences. Aodh was foolish and an idiot. And I know that my friend would never justify himself with that. You just used Toriel for a plaything until you could return to Diana!" Gerson yelled at his friend and Asgore sighed and pushed past the old tortoise, not making a comment. Gerson followed behind and as soon as they entered a marshy room filled with Echo Flowers and saw piles of dust, still in the grass. Asgore winces as he sees the dead human bodies.
"I'm sorry Diana." Asgore bends down to the dead Adam and Artemis and tears well up. Suddenly Asgore's phone starts ringing.
"Hello?" Asgore asks into the phone.
"My King. I'm here at the Evacuation Point and on the way here I found an injured human. Should I just take their soul?" Baron Raven asks over the phone. Asgore looks down at the dead humans he was next to and sighs.
"Leave them be. Don't hurt them." Asgore tells the Royal Scientist
"I was told by the human that they fought the flower. They said the name was Flowey. Apparently their main weapon is large, thorny vines, they use small white magic bullets, they duck underground to avoid attacks and can absorb any magic attack and turn it back against the opponent." Baron informs the King quickly and Asgore nods.
"Thank you. Give them my regards." Asgore says before hanging up the phone.
"What will you do with their souls?" Gerson asked, prepared to fight to defend the souls.
"There are two that aren't shattered. I will store them until five more can be collected." Asgore informs as the souls start breaking. Before either could react, the souls split in half and were shattered.
"Welp there goes that plan, oh wise King." Gerson snorts sarcastically. Asgore just stood there in silence and grieved at his poor decisions. He regretted what had happened to reach this point
(Metta POV)
I am confused but what Sans needed me to see, but I guess I should listen anyways. I float into his house and see that everything has been left untouched for a while. The couch was filled with dust, not the monster variety.
I go to his kitchen and look at his sink. He said there was a room behind it. I float through the sink and go behind the wall. When I am behind it I see a room filled with nothing but a machine with a note on it. I float over to the note to read it.
To my sons,
I apologize for how I have behaved to the both of you. I have not been of the right mind since my sister Cambria died. But beyond that, if you are reading this, then another Determination Mage has arisen. What am I talking about? Well a Determination Mage holds enough Determination in their souls to determine that time should flow backwards. I had been friends with one before the Sealing. Diana Daro. But this machine helps people remember what happened after a RESET. The range of the machine is limited to just the Underground, but it has two settings. Solo or Multi. Solo allows one person to remember the RESET, unless they die. Multi allows more than one person that lived through the RESET to remember it. But it is limited to three people and the only guaranteed is the one who activates the machine. Don't forget this exists.
Your father, Gaster
I remembered Diana Daro. Asgore's human friend from before the war. She was the one who had helped me and Napsta adjust to our ghostly forms. But RESET? This was beyond what I knew about her.
I notice that there are two levers on the machine and they were labelled how he said. I decide that I needed to pull one of them. I pull on the Multi lever and the machine starts whirring loudly. But within a few seconds it stops and nothing seemed to change.
"Hmm. Does this mean that flower has control over time? And how did Sans know that?" I wonder as I decide to float out of the house and decide to head to the Cavern to see how Asriel was holding up.
(Flowey POV)
I had surfaced in a strange room with a bunch of generators. I look around to see if there was anyone here to kill. But I do notice something else. A warning for the generators.
Warning: These generators require electricity magic of at least two lightning bolts to operate. If this does not happen or the casing is broken containing the magic, the generators will cause a huge explosion that will destroy the entire Cavern. Please be careful and do not mess around with these generators. There is plans to be rid of them soon and get rid of their destruction potential
I giggle as I read this. Perfect destruction. I summon some 'Friendliness Pellet' and launch them at the generators. They break through the casing and magic starts leaking out. Suddenly alarms start going off. I decide this was time to flee from the Cavern area.
(Chara POV)
After Kris had run off, I had stayed down in the lab with Alphys trying to study more about the Nightgem. Suddenly we hear alarms start going off.
"That's the alarm for the Lightning Generators. They're gonna fail!" Alphys shouted worriedly.
"What does that mean for us?" I question loudly over the alarms.
"That means the Cavern will explode. They are the most powerful tech we have and they power our capital. I heard the capital was gonna be rid of them soon, but since Naia was overthrown they were probably forgotten about." Alphys responds and I bite my lip.
"Does that mean everyone in the Cavern will die?" I ask as I feel I know the answer. Asriel, Red, Espa. All of them would die.
"I have a one person teleporter. But we need to give it to someone that is important and that we can reach within two minutes." Alphys states right as Undyne bursts through the door and Alphys' eyes widened. Undyne had the largest Determination level and would be very useful to the rebellion in the Dreemurr Kingdom.
"What the fuck is going on with those alarms!?" Undyne shouted and Alphys walked up to her.
"The Cavern is going to be destroyed by the Lightning Generators. We have only a teleporter for one person." Alphys said as she activated the blue sphere she held and handed both it and the Nightgem to Undyne.
"Live for us." Alphys smiles as Undyne's eyes widen as she is teleported away.
"So is this the end? Was the prophecy false?" I sit down as I am ready to accept our death.
Alphys started crying and collapsed to the ground. Suddenly I felt the air get thick and felt my hairs stand up. The last thing I saw and heard was my heart locket clutched in my hand and a deafening thunder sound.
(Third Person POV)
Above the mountain it was a rainy day and no one was climbing the mountain. It seemed like just a regular day in the city when a large explosion was heard. Suddenly the western part of Mt. Ebbot exploded.
Suddenly everyone started panicking as pieces of the mountain flew into the sky and started landing in the city. The rubble landed mostly in the outskirts of the city, but some hit in the center. Luckily no one was hurt.
"What happened?" A figure in cyan robes asked as she twirled around a badge. It currently was five hours after the explosion at Mt. Ebbot.
"Aqua, I believe that an explosion happened inside of Mt. Ebbot." A yellow robed figure responded.
"Does that mean it was the monsters?" Aqua asks and her eyes get heavy with anger.
"No, Justin just means that a nuke went off. Of course it was the monsters!" A figure in orange robes yells sarcastically.
"What can we even do about it? It's not like we have a Determination Mage to RESET that." A figure with just a purple t-shirt on wondered.
"We keep the populace in check. I heard that the DAMC is once again growing in power." Justin told the group
"I guess that is the best we can do for now. But, does anyone know where he is?" A green robed figure asked and the other four shook their heads.
"He is currently investigating a disappearance that happened during the chaos today. We both suspected the DAMC in it." Aqua told the group who all nodded.
"Well, then I guess we should all go now. I wish you all luck." Justin said and the group nodded as Justin flicked his fingers and the light in the room went out, like it was magic.
(Kris POV)
I was sleeping through the night when suddenly I heard a deafening explosion. I wake up immediately and drag myself out of bed and outside. I was able to walk but it was a bit of a struggle. I see Raven keeping the monsters from going outside.
"What's going on?" I approach the scientist who shakes his head.
"I'll have NPTN show you all through the monitor as he was patrolling when it happened." Raven says and NPTN goes to the monitor, takes a cable and puts it in the back of his head. On the big monitor I see the robot just walking around the Evacuation Center, when suddenly an explosion went off. The robot looks over to where it came from and sees that there is nothing where the Cavern used to be. Instead you could now see the outside world but a glimmer of magic still shone over the outside.
I hold my hands to my face as I realize what happened. Everyone that the RAQ sought to save from Naia. Dead. Chara, Undyne, Alphys, Asriel, Espa, Red, Jedra. All dead.
"No." I shake my head in disbelief.
"What caused that?" A voice in the crowd yells out.
"I can guess." I mutter as Raven responds.
"If I had to guess, that monster killing everyone did that. Somehow, he did that." Raven told the crowd, but was a bit uncertain of himself.
"If a monster can do that, then who's to say that we won't be next?!" The voice said again and everything went to chaos. Chaos. A thing I was afraid of and it filled the air. Suddenly monsters shoot magic at the walls and run out.
"Every monster for themselves!" Another voice shouts as monsters flood through the opening in the wall and start running. Soon all that's left is me, Raven, the robot, and two Royal Guards. And yesterday it seemed like there were over 2,000 monsters. How did they all run out so fast?
"Nice to know everyone's scared of me" I hear Flowey's voice say and I quickly turn around and see the flower with a smile on its face. The two Royal Guards don't hesitate and immediately launch themselves at the flower who just splits them in half with his vines.
"NPTN. Attack!" Raven yells to his robot who starts charging a laser but is destroyed before it can fire.
"You know that I killed everyone that ran out already? Oh they were unsuspecting." Flowey taunted and Raven's eyes widened as I push him out of the way of a vine and my arm is torn to shreds.
"I thought I killed you!" Flowey says in anger and I scoff.
"Like I would die to your hands." I smile as I summon my shield and block all his bullet attacks.
"Raven! You need to help here!" I yell at the scientist as I deflect the vines.
"But I'm weak." Raven whimpers and I once again jump in front of him to block an attack.
"If I can fight with a barely healed spine and a shredded arm, then you can fight!" I shout at the monster and suddenly we are entrapped in a circle of white bullets and vines.
"Die!" I hear a familiar voice shout suddenly and I see a blue spear fly at the flower who barely dodges it.
"Undyne!" I yell happily as the vines aim to her instead of me and Raven.
"I'm glad you're safe Kris. But you and Baron need to run. I don't care if I hate Baron, he doesn't deserve death yet." Undyne says as she summons more spears and tears through all the vines.
"A challenge? This will be fun!" Flowey shouts and Undyne blocks all the attacks.
"Go! Now!" Undyne shouts and I nod sadly as I grab Raven's hand and we start sprinting away. We run until we are out of breath, which was at the old crossing to the Cavern.
I decide to walk over to where the Cavern once was and Raven follows behind.
I kneel down next to a pile of dust and Penny's dead body. I start crying as Raven walks up to where we could see the outside world, aka a forest where we could see.
"Seven souls break the Barrier, but no one ever said anything about just passing through it. What would that take?" Raven wonders as he stares into the outside world for the first time in his life
"I don't know. Maybe a human soul and monster soul. That'd be my guess." I wipe my tears away.
"Hmm. Give me your hand. We're gonna test that theory." Raven said after a minute and my eyes widened. What would happen if it failed? But I brush this thought away and grab Raven's hand and stand up.
"Let's just hope if this does work, that Flowey can't follow." Raven muttered as we walked to the destroyed entrance to the Cavern and step into the Barrier.
After a split second of pushing against the Barrier, I suddenly feel grass beneath me. That worked?! I look to my left and see Raven in shock.
"It worked?" Raven said in shock as he looked back into the Underground. My eyes well up with tears as I realize that I escaped the Underground and Susie had died before we could search for our friends.
"Yes. Let's get out of this rain." I say as I feel rain for the first time in ten years. Raven just looks at the sky.
"You're lucky. You've always been able to see the stars." Raven states as we start walking into the forest to hopefully find some shelter.
(Third Person POV)
"Uh Justin. A camera near where the explosion happened has picked up something." Aqua told her companion.
"What is it?" Justin asked with a bored expression from not wanting to deal with the aftermath of the explosion.
"Two figures exited the mountain. A human and a half raven, half racoon monster." Aqua told Justin, who perked up in interest.
"A monster? You said they had a human by their side. That means they passed through the barrier. After all, my grandfather told me that to pass through his and his other mages' barrier, you needed both a human and monster soul." Justin said as he sat up on the couch in his and Aqua's apartment.
"Should we go collect them?" Aqua asks as she starts putting on her coat.
"No. We'll send Michael. His sister disappeared on the mountain and that could be her." Justin said pulling out his old phone.
"Michael? We need you to go to the area near the explosion site. A human and a monster passed through the barrier and we need you to collect them. And no arguing that you are searching for the DAMC." Justin said through the phone
"I don't care! I'll go after the DAMC myself! I told you what to do and you need to listen! I'll patrol the city with Aqua later to try and see what they're doing. Just do this!" Justin shouted through the phone before he threw it at the wall and broke it.
"That's the fifth broken phone within three days." Aqua comments as Justin lays back down on the couch.
"I can buy another one. The government pays us well enough as part of the Mage Department." Justin shrugged off the comment.
"They don't pay us just for you to buy phones. Just stop getting so mad." Aqua says as she sits on a computer chair and starts watching the cameras that they had around the city.
"I'm gonna take a nap and then we're gonna patrol." Justin said before he passed out on the couch.
Aqua rolls her eyes as she starts zooming in on the camera where she could see the human and monster.
"Why do I have a feeling of familiarity when I look at that human?" Aqua questioned as she kept watching the two and saw them take shelter in a cabin halfway through the forest. They had arrived near the bottom of the mountain at the explosion site and now were halfway to the city.
"Michael, they are in a cabin that is immediately south of the explosion site. Don't attack them. Just be peaceful." Aqua said over her phone after Michael picked up.
"No I won't go on a date with you. Stop joking around and just do what Justin told you to. Also Justin broke a fifth phone this week already, so you and Aria owe me ten bucks each." Aqua said over the phone before hanging up and letting Michael go to look for the unknown human and monster.
(Gaster POV)
I watched as chaos unfolded over the Underground. Flowey, the generator explosion and the large amounts of death. Both my sons were dead. Gone. Along with most everyone else. The only monsters left were Baron Raven, Asgore, Gerson, Mettablook, Undyne and a few monsters that were hiding either in Old Home or Snowdin. Actually there was a spider monster in Hotland that didn't evacuate so just add one more to the living.
"I can't believe this happened. This is Ateno's fault. I can feel his aura surrounding that flower." Leya said with horror in her eyes.
"You know what?! Since you won't do anything, I guess I will!" I shout as I start manipulating the Void around me.
"What are you doing? You can't bring another being into this world!" Leya yelled at me and I ignored her.
"I am bringing a strong monster from the Deltarune Universe. He will stop the chaos caused by Flowey." I explain as a large boom happens and a J-shaped tail appears.
"Chaos, chaos! Where be the freedom?" A voice crazily says from the tail.
"No! You did not bring that monster from that dimension!" Leya shouted at me as the J-shaped tail transformed into a gray skinned, imp being that wore a jester's outfit.
"Yes. Jevil is our last resort option." I say closing my eyes.
"Last resort? Oh I get to spread chaos, chaos!" Jevil says happily.
"Jevil. There is a flower monster killing everyone. I need you to kill it. If you do so and it remains dead, then freedom will be granted to you." I say and Leya glares at me.
"Oh fun, fun! Goodbye man of whispering hands!" Jevil says as I summon another portal and transport him into our world.
"You made a terrible mistake, unleashing him into the unknowing world." Leya growls at me and I roll my eyes
"And you made a mistake by refusing to do anything against your brother. As soon as the flower RESETs he will be put back in his dimension." I glare at her and she storms off into the Void. I turn away from her and just keep watching the happenings of the world.
(? POV)
News had reached me of an explosion at Mount Ebott. I found this curious. What had happened Underground to cause this? Were my brethren finally trying to free themselves? I suppose it was just a matter of time.
"My lord. A human is requesting an audience with you." One of my servants, a serpent covered in ooze, informed me.
"Curious. I thought I hid our kingdom well from the outside world." I mutter to myself before responding,
"I would like to meet this human. Have them sent up here immediately along with the Captain. Oh, and be sure to remind out jail keepers to torture Rin once more. Last I was down there, she looked like she was gaining hope. I want it crushed immediately." I tell the servant who bows and backs out of my throne room. Within a few minutes my Captain, a brute made up of loosely held together stones, entered with a robed human.
"Quake. Has this human anything to say for themselves? Human, if you answer before he then you will be beheaded." I tell the human as I look at them carefully.
"Quake don't know. They would not tell Quake." Quake responded in short words and I nod.
"Speak human. Be glad I am merciful." I stroke my mane slowly to try and nerve her.
"Your grace," The human bends down to their knees, "I am here to offer my aid in your supposed want of war against humans."
I sniff and sense the lie she told.
"Tell. The. Truth." I growl as I prepare to summon my magic.
"Fine. I have selfish reasoning. I want revenge on someone who had wronged me. But I will pledge my allegiance to your cause. That, I swear on my soul." The human places a hand on their covered heart.
"What reason should I allow you to help me?" I glare at the human. They were very brave to come here and admit they were being selfish.
"Because," The human summoned an orange and magical fist in the center of the room, "I am one of Ebott's mages and know how they work."
Oh this was something I wanted to hear. A mage was very valuable nowadays. More valuable than Quake even.
"Oh this is a fine development." I say as I stand up and grab her hood with my paw. I pull off the hood and see a female girl, with orange eyes and a large gash that ran across her face. The gash was filled with a black substance but I could care less about it.
"Name and one wish for me to fulfill?" I state as I take a step back. I made the same statement to any new guard joining my guard.
"Onela Audson. Top Bravery Mage of the Ebbot Mages. And I wish to learn how to corrupt a soul." The girl states and I grin with my sharp teeth.
"I, Leon Madag, accept you into my kingdom so long as you will never harm one of my subjects. And you must tell me information about anything I wish." I say and Onela nods in response.
"I pledge myself to you. Now I will tell you what I know about the going ons with Mt. Ebbot." Onela brushed a strand of pink hair from in front of her eyes. I grin widely as she starts telling me what she had learned from being a part of the Mage Department.
"So monsters blew up part of the mountain earlier yesterday and a human and monster left the mountain. Tell me what the monster looked like." I demanded with anger starting to seep into my voice.
"From what I was told, a raven head and raccoon body. Wore what looked like a lab coat." Onela tells me and I take a deep breath.
"Not a boss monster. So my reign is safe for now. Onela, one of my servants will show you to your quarters for when you are not spying on the Mages. Now begone." I wave the girl away who bows her head and leaves
"Need Quake?" Quake asks in first person and I nod as I brush my mane.
"As always. Back to guard duty my good captain." I smirk to the mentally challenged rock monster who nods happily before leaving me alone in the throne room with my thoughts.
"Why should goats be the rulers? My kingdom has been operating well enough under my rule for 400 years. Lions will decimate the goats. Tis but the food chain." I think to myself in my head as I nod off to sleep with a smirk on my face. Boss monsters will pay for their insolence. I swear it on the Phoenix.
AN: And thus our death toll adds up to every Underground inhabitant besides Asgore, Gerson, Undyne, Metta, Muffet and Baron and Kris. And Flowey of course. Shyren died in the explosion and the bunny kids drowned when running from the city in a frozen river. And I bring in another Deltarune character...
Leya: Bringing Jevil in is a horrible idea!
Ateno: Yeah, but the chaos!
Angel: He will not be a prominent figure outside this arc, in case anyone was wondering.
Leya: I'm also upset that a lot of my monsters died.
Ateno: Get over yourself. Monsters were always weaker than humans.
Angel: And I will let them argue that for a week. Seriously being stuck with those two is horrendous. All they do is bicker.
Ateno and Leya: Hey!
Angel: Don't backtalk! You know it's true. Anyways, onto stuff for this chapter. Firstly, why did Chara not leave with the Nightgem and why did Undyne? Yes, Chara knew she was in a prophecy but felt she was not the most important to fight the good fight. Undyne had the highest DT levels and thus was immediately thought of as a contender by the two (and Alphys and Undyne are a couple). Now, Kris and Raven. I may have made Raven seem a bit out of character by allowing a human to live, but he was trying to do his best to understand the situation. He is a scientist and knows not to make rash decisions. And don't worry, he won't remain this way forever. Now onto the Mages. I'm not gonna say much here as more will be revealed about them in the future. A little bit in the rest of this arc and I think they are gonna become major players in Books 2 and 3 (counting on the fact that I don't have to juggle too many characters already). And the Phoenix? What is that? Wait I do know but that will be for the future.
Ateno: And you tell us we can't rant
Angel: Shush! Anyways I had mentioned before that some monsters escaped capture. Well time to bring that back into the light. And I think that's all I need to say. Oh wait no it's not. I want to clarify some character ages before I confuse myself with RESETs or timejumps or fucking whatever!
Undyne, Alphys: 23? (I think. I think I mentioned it before. If it isn't please tell me).
Kris, Ralsei, Susie, Noelle: 22
Asriel, Red, Muffet Baron, Chara: 20
Lancer: 18
Clover: 14? (I think)
Artemis and Adam: 12 (birthday happened a week before Flowey)
Penny: 13
Frisk and Monster Kid: 14
Asgore, Gerson, Gaster, Naia, Toriel, Leon: Over 1,000
And there's more but I'm stopping there. I don't want to try and remember every single age.
Angel: QOTD. Uh... When does everyone think Deltarune will come out? My prediction is 2021 to 2022. Anyways I wish everyone a good night or day or whatever! I'm going to go work on a different story now.
