The area around once again became colorless. Frisk was a little hesitant on continuing. She walked up to a sign on a wall and read it. *Throne room* 'Looks like this is it...' Frisk walked through the doorway and into the room. The first thing Frisk noticed was colors. The ground was covered from one end to the other with grass and flowers. The grass lay on the outer ring while the golden flowers rest inside the center of it all. In the center of the flowers, laid a golden throne with a cushion on it. In front of it was a giant, block-like figure. Frisk slowly stepped towards the figure. She stopped shortly before the flowers. She could here the figure singing to itself. "Dum Dee Dum... Oh? Is someone there? Just a moment! I have almost finished watering these flowers. ...Here we are!" The figure turned around. "Howdy! How can I..." Frisk kept a plain expression. The figure then changed his expression and took a step back. "Oh. ...I so badly want to say, would you like a cup of tea? But... you know how it is." He moved to one of the walls. Frisk prepared for an attack. "Nice day today, huh?" Frisk relaxed but became confused from the mood in the room. She nodded. "Birds are singing, flowers are blooming... Perfect weather for a game of catch." '...Is this Asgore? ...Was Asriel his son? ...' "You know what we must do." Frisk nodded again. "When you are ready, come into the next room." He disappeared into the room. Frisk followed him soon after. The room was small and was only lit by a light coming from outside. "How tense... Just think of it like... A visit to the dentist." 'How about a trip to the park?' Asgore started to walk down the path and Frisk followed behind. They stopped in front of a doorway. Frisk saw a save point. "Are you ready? If you are not, I understand. I am not ready either." Asgore went through the doorway. '...I'm...' She hesitated for a moment. She started to think back to how her life was and how others treated her. She wanted them to feel pain. But at the same time, she wanted to go back to live with Toriel, listen to more of Sans jokes, make spaghetti with Papyrus... She wanted to live underground with all of them. She wanted to save them. She had decided. She saved and then went through the door Asgore had went through. Asgore stood there looking down what seemed to be an endless hallway. The light emitting from the bright wall was like a beacon. "This is the barrier. This is what keeps us all trapped underground. ..If... If by any chance you have unfinished business... Please do what you must." He said, while still looking at the barrier. Frisk just stood there. "...I see...This is it then." He turned to face Frisk. "Ready?" Frisk nodded then seven jars appeared. Six of the jars had different colored souls in them. '...'
The room faded to black. *A strange light fills the is shining through the barrier. It seems your journey is finally over. You're filled with... DETERMINATION.* "Human... it was nice to meet you. Goodbye." Asgore tilted his head down. Frisk was ready to let him take her soul. She was going to let herself die in the first attack. She was going to make sure she ran into everything she could. She didn't want to live no more. She wanted humanity to suffer more than ever. But then a fireball appeared and hit Asgore, knocking him away. Toriel came over. "What a miserable creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth..." 'T...Toriel?' Frisk felt her legs become weak and she fell onto her knees, hands on her chest. "It is I, Toriel, your friend and first, I thought I'd let you make your journey alone... But I couldn't stop worrying about you." Hearing those words made Frisk begin to cry because she knew they were true. For the first time in her life, they were true. Frisk ran up and hugged Toriel. "Your adventure must have been so treacherous. ...and ultimately, it would burden you with a horrible choice. To leave this place, you would have to take the life of another person. You would have to defeat Asgore. However... I realized... I cannot allow that. It is not right to sacrifice someone just to leave here. Is that not what I've been trying to prevent this whole time? So, for now, let us suspend this battle. As terrible as Asgore is... He deserves mercy, too." Frisk was still hugging Toriel, crying at the same time. Asgore finally got back to where the two stood. "Tori... You came back...!" Said Asgore. "Do not Tori me, Dreemur! You pathetic whelp. If you really wanted to free our kind... You could have gotten through the barrier after you got ONE SOUL... ...taken six souls from the humans, then came back and freed everyone peacefully. But instead, you made everyone live in despair... Because you would rather wait here, meekly hoping that another human never comes." Toriel retorted. Asgore remained silent. "...Tori... You're right... I am a miserable creature... ...but, do you think we can at least be friends again?" Asgore finally asked. Toriel sighed. "NO, Asgore." Asgore's face looked hurt. Very, VERY hurt. "Ngahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Asgore! Human!" Yelled Undyne as she came running in. "Nobody fight each other! Everyone's going to make friends, or I'll...! I'l..." Undyne was looking at Toriel, very confused. "Hello, I am Toriel. Are you the human's friend? It's nice to meet you!" Toriel said to Undyne. "Uh, yeah...? Nice to meet you!" Undyne went up to Asgore. "Hey Asgore, is that your ex? Jeez. That's ruff buddy." Asgore just looked depressed now. "H-hey! N-Nobody hurt each other! ..." Alphys said as she came into the room. She was looking at Toriel. "Oh! Are you another friend? I am Toriel. Hello!" Toriel said, greeting Alphys. "uh... h-h-hi!" Alphys replied, then looked at Frisk. "There's two of them?" She whispered. Frisk shook her head. Alphys then went up to Undyne. "HEY! NOBODY FIGHT ANYONE! IF ANYONE FIGHTS ANYONE...!THEN I'LL! BE FORCED! TO ASK UNDYNE FOR HELP!" Papyrus said as he slid in. Toriel greeted Papyrus. "OH! HELLO, YOUR MAJESTY! PST... HEY HUMAN... DID ASGORE SHAVE...? AND... CLONE HIMSELF?" Frisk shook her head. Tears still rolled down her cheeks but she was smiling. "hey guys..." Said Sans, finally joining the group. "what's up?" "That voice...!" Toriel moved past Frisk to get closer to Sans. "Hello, I think we may... know each other?" Toriel asked. "oh hey... i recognize your voice, too." Replied Sans happily. "I am Toriel. So nice to meet you." Toriel said. "the name's Sans." He said winking. "and, uh, same." Toriel looked like she just remembered something. "Oh! Wait, then..! This must be your brother, Papyrus! Greetings, Papyrus! It's so nice to finally meet you! Your brother has told me so much about you." Toriel said. "WOWIE... I CAN'T BELIEVE ASGORE'S CLONE KNOWS WHO I AM! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" Papyrus shouted. "Hey, Papyrus... What does a skeleton tile his roof with?" Toriel asked. "HMMMM... SNOW-PROOF ROOF TILES?" Papyrus replied. "No, silly! A skeleton tiles his roof with... SHIN-gles!" Toriel responded. "I CHANGED MY MIND! THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!" Papyrus shouted as he headed towards the others. "Come on, Asgore! It's gonna be okay! There are plenty fish in the sea..." Undyne said. "Y-yeah, Asgore! Undyne's totally right about that fish thing! S-sometimes you got to, uh... S-stop going after furry boss monsters and, uh... J-just get to know a really cute fish...?" Alphys said. 'Um... What...?' "It's a metaphor." Added Alphys. "Well. I think it's a good analogy!" Said Undyne. Mettaton stuck out his leg saying: "OH MY GOD! WILL YOU TWO JUST SMOOCH ALREADY!? THE AUDIENCE IS DYING FOR SOME ROMANTIC ACTION!" Then pulled back his leg. "HEY, SHUT UP!" Undyne yelled at Mettaton. "Man, the nerve of that guy! Right, Alphys!? ...uh, Alphys?" Undyne said/asked. "...no. He's right. LET'S DO IT!" Alphys said. Frisk brought her arm up over her eyes. Undyne was silent with a questioning look on her face for a while. "Well? Uh? I guess? If you want to? Then? Don't hold anything back!" She finally said. Frisk didn't see anything that was going on, but all of a sudden she heard Toriel's voice again. "W-wait! Not in front of the human!" Toriel said, splitting the two of them apart. "Uhh, right! Sorry, I got a little carried away." Alphys said. 'A little?' Everyone lined up in front of Frisk. Seeing all of her friends together like this made her happy and forget about wanting to die and humanity to suffer. "My child, it seems that you must stay here for a while. But looking at all the great friends you have made... I think... I think you will be happy here." Toriel said. Frisk nodded, drying her face with the sleeve of her shirt. "h-hey, that reminds me. Papyrus, YOU called everyone here, right? Well, besides, uh, her. Uh anyway, if I got here before you... How did you know how to call everybody?" Alphys asked. "LET'S JUST SAY... A TINY FLOWER HELPED ME!" Papyrus replied. '...a... tiny... flower...?' "a tiny... flower...?" Alphys asked shakily.
Just then, a green vine shot across the room and it grabbed everyone except Frisk. Flowey then popped up between Frisk and her friends. "You IDIOTS! While you guys were having your little pow-wow... I took the human souls! And now, not only are THOSE in my power... BUT ALL OF YOUR FRIEND' SOULS ARE GOING TO BE MINE, too! Hee Hee Hee! And you know what the best part is? It's all your fault. It's all because you MADE THEM love you. All this time you spent listening to them.. Encouraging them... Caring about them... Without that, they wouldn't have come here." Frisk started to feel guilt build up on her shoulders. "And now, with their souls and the humans' together... I will achieve my REAL FORM. Hee hee. Huh? WHY am I still doing this? Don't you get it? This is all just a GAME. If you leave the underground satisfied, you will "win" the game. If you "win", you won't want to "play" with me anymore. And what would I do then?But this game between us will never end! I'll hold victory in front of you, just within your reach... And then tear it away before you grasp it. Over, and over, and over... Hee hee hee. Listen. If you DO defeat me, I'll give you your "happy ending". I'll bring your friends back. I'll destroy the barrier. Everyone will finally be satisfied. But that WON'T happen. You...! I'll keep you here no matter what!" Flowey moved over to Frisk's right. Before anything else happened, Frisk was surrounded by pellets. "EVEN IF IT MEANS KILLING YOU 1,000,000 TIMES!" 'How are you going to kill me more than once?' The pellets then started darting towards Frisk. 13/20. 6/20. 1/20. 'So this is it then?' Frisk thought to herself as she laid on the ground in pain, as the pellets slowly moved closer. Just before they hit her, a wall of flames surrounded her and blocked them. Frisk looked up. "What?" Flowey said confused. "Do not be afraid, my child.. No matter what happens... We will always be there to protect you!" Toriel said. Frisk gained 1hp. Pellets formed at Frisk's right and left, then a bone and a spear appeared next to her, blocking the pellets. "THAT'S RIGHT HUMAN! YOU CAN WIN! JUST DO WHAT I, WOULD DO... BELIEVE IN YOU!" Papyrus said. 3/20. "Hey! Human! If you got past ME, you can do ANYTHING! So don't worry! We're with you all the way!" Undyne said. 4/20. "huh? you haven't beat this guy yet? come one, this weirdo's got nothin' on you!" Sans said. 5/20. Electricity and more fire blocked the next pellets. "Technically, you can not beat him... B-but... somehow, I know you can do it!" Alphys said. 6/20. "Human, for the future of Humans and Monsters...!You have to stay Determined...!" Asgore said. 7/20. Then everyone Frisk had met on her journey started to show up all together. 8/20. Each one of them were saying something encouraging. 9/20. 10/20. 11/20/ 12/20. 13/20. They kept on saying things like: "You GOT to win!" and "You can do it!" 14/20. 15/20. 16/20. 18/20. 19/20. Frisk was determined to do what she could do to beat Flowey. She. Was going. To win! 20/20.
