Chapter 29 Mission: Final Hope


—Next day morning—

The Sun was shining, a beam of sun shine passed through his window and shown on the prince's face.

At first, Asriel twitched his snout and tried to avoid the sunlight by rolling, but there's light everywhere. No way to continue his sleep under this light. Not to mention, he had an important event today.

So, she lightly yawned and got upright in bed. "It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming. On days like these, monsters like me. Should be celebrating for a re-opening." He quietly said this filled him with DETERMINATION.

Then, he smelt the sweet scent of tea downstairs. He quickly rushed through his morning activities and went downstairs to look.

To his surprise, it was not his father who was making tea, but Darkness.

"Oh, it's you." Darkness took a tea cup he brought to fetch the tea he just made. "Good morning there." A black bag was on the kitchen table, inside was Darkness's personal items. A tea kit, toothbrush, toothpaste, clothes, a plastic bag filled with unidentified objects, and a gun which was a revolver in a gun sheath. "Sorry!" Darkness shouted. "I shouldn't put my stuff here." Darkness shifted his bag to other places.

Asriel walked to the refrigerator and looked inside.

Cinnamon and Butterscotch Pie left from yesterday, cold but still tasty.

Asriel took out some and heat it up with his fire, he looked at Darkness who was tasting his tea out.

"Good morning! My child!" Toriel greeted. Asriel turned to the hallway where Toriel was standing. Then she found Asriel was eating her left-over pie. "I'll make breakfast now." After this, Toriel went in the kitchen.

"What is this?" Toriel found a pot which was cooking something.

"Oh… Sorry I didn't ask before using the stove." Darkness entered the kitchen. "I'm cooking radish cakes there, a usual breakfast back at home. I think it's done for now." He took a piece of cloth and opened the pot, and the fabulous smell of food was unleashed into the air, making everyone at there to drool.

"I cook enough for all of you… Hope you will like it." Darkness said.

"I've never tried out Chinese breakfast," Toriel beamed. "And I'm willing to try out some."

Around 5 minutes the rest of the family woke up and gather at the dining table.

Darkness was sitting in the living room drinking tea and ready to eat his share of food.

"Darkness, come here!" Toriel decided to call the dragon his name instead of "child" because of his teenage look since he might be as old as her. "Your cousin always eats with us when available!"

"OK. Coming here." Darkness carried all his food to the table,

After he was in position, everyone was looking at him, which made the black dragon slightly uncomfortable.

"Well… why you guys are looking at me?" Darkness said.

"I think you should introduce yourself," Frisk said. "You are new here."

"Introduce myself? I'm only here for a day, what is the point for that?"

"Just having a hunch, you might come here more that often."

"OK… Where should I start?" Darkness realized this is just casual talk so he didn't need to be formal. "I'm Darkness Jiang, rank 3 in my family generation. I like tea. So, I have collect tea items from all places…" Darkness looked at Asgore, he noticed the king had some expression changes, mostly to excited. "What's the problem? Did I spoke something wrong?"

"Nothing, keep on please." Asgore looked at Darkness for a while, slightly excited. "A tea lover. I maybe can make friends with him."

Darkness took a breath and continued. "Specialties? Sharpshooter, I think, at least that's how others called me. Main fire magic, wind and unique…" Darkness thought for a while, wondering whether to talk more or not.

"Thank you, Darkness." Toriel paused Darkness's introduction. "That will be enough for today. If we get together more, you can tell us the rest."

"Sharpshooter?" Frisk looked at the glasses which Darkness was wearing. "And I think who wearing glasses couldn't be one, but that's not a talent that can be shown now, or our neighbors will call the police. As I remembered, isn't one of the 6 kids a shooter?"

Asgore suddenly asked a question. "Darkness, can you drive a car? We couldn't mess up our formal outfit. So, we need someone to drive us there."

The black dragon seemed to be surprised, but after a while, he smirked. "I can drive. I'm not SOMEONE who always mistaken the gas pedal as the break one and then nearly murdered the driving coach."

—Somewhere far away—

Tempest was waiting for the incense on his ancestors' grave to burn out so that he can ask permission from his ancestor to start the next ritual. While waiting, he decided to watch a pine tree to kill time while eating Mochi.

"Ha chu!" Tempest made a great sneeze and rubbed his nose. The pine tree got its leaves blown off by Tempest's sneeze, which was a sneeze with a high concentration of wind element.

"Darkness… Are you talking about me?" Tempest whispered. "I can hear you."

—back—

The new kind of food was quite acceptable by the Dreemurrs, so they ate all the radish cakes in the pot.

"That's good!" Asriel ate the food on his plate. "I hope I can eat more!" He looked at the empty pot.

"Perhaps, we have a new kind of food to eat in the morning instead of what we eat usually." Frisk looked at Darkness. "Can you teach us how to make it?"

Everyone was looking at him, it will be heavenly to know how to recreate this masterpiece.

"It's Mom's recipe." Darkness shook his head. "I promised her not to leak it to others, except the family." Frisk and Asriel was disappointed to hear this but cheered up after the following. "But my cousin knows how to do it. I think he will cook it for you if you ask."

Asgore stood up after finishing the last piece of food. "Now, let's go change. Remember all! After fifteen minutes, we will be leaving! Being puncture is critical!"

—Somewhere in Ebbot—

"All right boys." Thistle was looking at a group of people, consisted with monsters and humans. "Once 11:30. I want you to start crimes in random places. I don't care how you did it, anything will work if it's LOUD. But we need a mess, not chaos, we still need to let the police think this is manageable. Don't over-do it and make a crime wave into a terrorist attack, that will call in the army. We need ONLY the police to be slightly overwhelmed, got it?"

"All right!" Everyone yelled.

"Now go!" Thistle commanded and watched the group split up and went to various places. "I'm sorry, sisters and Tempest. Although you said we already revenged for Lily, there's no need to kill more… I still think humans deserved more than that. They had to pay for taking whatever they want. So, I attended this madness. Boss told me the greedy humans will be erased after all it's done."

—The barrier—

"Here we are." Darkness pulled over and looked at the entrance to the Underground. "Wow. You guys even made a road to the Underground?"

"Yes." Asgore replied. "We used that road to move out all out belongings, or it was mission impossible for everyone to changes houses in a month."

"All right then. I'm driving in." Darkness fired up the engine and drove in the Underground.

"Turn left." Asgore pointed at a road which bypassed the Underground palace and headed straight to MTT resort.

"Wow!" Asriel was fascinated. Compare the castle nearby which had an ancient and elegant aura, MTT resort was representing what does Mettaton like to say the most.

"Fabulous and Glamorous"

"I bet this building made all the fancy hotels and casinos in Las Vegas ashamed when compared to this." Frisk looked at the resort with awe, Mettaton did invest a lot of time and money in this building. "It's so great! I can't imagine how a day inside would feel like!"

"Oh, my." Toriel was reading a booklet which gave information about the facilities inside which could be used. "I need my glasses to read this. There are too many entries to read."

—Outside MTT resort—

This time, lunch will be served outside. Because the opening ceremony will be held after lunch; then Mettaton will take his guests inside to take a look. Before that, he arranged a meeting for his visitors to meet the cooking staff.

That was what Skye wanted.

She wanted Asgore to know who killed him, by pulling the string in front of him with shouting his name. Of course, if she found Asgore is going to leave, she would pull the string at once.

Anyway, she didn't want Asgore to get out of here alive, no matter what it costs.

Pine the dragon looked at the human, dressed as an employee. "Hmm. It seemed like I don't need to intervene at all. But just in case…" He quietly cast a spell, which prevents Skye from getting knocked out by weak magic. "There. I think that should make it perfect. Finish your revenge and bury the Royals for us." Pine snickered and left.

In another place, a pot was floating in the air.

It was what was left behind by the kindness SOUL, Kyle's SPIRIT, which was powered by the magical bomb charges.

Mostly, SPIRITS which died would rest in peace, but in some cases, they will become active when there's a power source nearby. They are called ghosts by humans.

He was worried by what was going to happen next. If everything runs in the same course, then his sacrifice to free the monster would be thrown in the trash can, alongside with his beloved mother. His mother, perhaps that's the reason why he couldn't rest in peace. He owed his mother a proper goodbye.

But if he didn't do anything to this situation, he would meet his mother soon.

Which was not a good thing.

So, he tried to send out signals, but everyone around him was busy, no one noticed the message, if someone did, it was considered as an annoyance, according to Papyrus. Now, this is his last shot. He was going to go out and try to draw attention. Perhaps. he could catch someone's eyes. But it quite a long shot. Whatever how it goes, he will try his best to make a change. He knew his mom's entire plan, he just needed to someone to notice it, and stop it.

And the Dreemurrs finally arrived at the front door of MTT resort. A mini bot was pointing where Darkness should park his car.

"OK. You guys can go there now. I'll catch up after I parked this car." Darkness said.

"Thank you for the ride, Darkness." Toriel thanked.

"NB." Toriel shut the car door and the car drove away.

And the royals met someone familiar.

"Alphys! Why are you here?" Frisk shouted once she saw Alphys at the place.

"Mettaton was my best friend, it's important for me to take part in this." Alphys sighed. "Unfortunately, Undyne couldn't come. She had work to do today. But I promised her to get some "personal time" here with her one day, also I'll ask Mettaton to make some take-out for me to give Undyne."

"Oh!" Darkness waved his paw when he came. "Hello! Glad to meet you here." Suddenly, something went in Asriel's ears.

"Help…"

At first, he thought it was nothing. But the next sound was even louder.

"HELP!"

This time, Darkness stopped waving and turned his head, but no one else noticed the cry of help.

"Only Darkness and I could hear it. Is it…" Asriel called his mom. "Mom, where's the toilet?"

"It's over there, my child, go in and turn left."

Asriel walked to the toilet, but suddenly take a right turn once his the group couldn't see him. Darkness also followed.

At the end of their way, a pot was floating in the air.

"Who are you?" Asriel asked.

"I'm the kindness SOUL, Kyle. Please! You have to stop my mom from blowing up the whole underground!"

"Blow up!?" Asriel replied with shock. "Oh, Golly! Please tell me what is going from the beginning."

Darkness was beside them, his golden eyes widen. "Holy elements. Some people were more persistence than I thought. And it happened to be I take over Tempest place for one day. ONE BLOODY DAY. And I met this. Well…I'm always not a preference of luck. Whatever. My cousin owns me a big time."

—Later—

It took about 5 minutes for the magic pot to explain everything.

But those five minutes were the most horrifying ones in Asriel's life.

From any angle, this situation should be considered the worst.

First, run through who is Underground. Papyrus, Alphys, Darkness, Mettaton, and the Royal Family.

Then, look who's on the surface?

Undyne, Tempest, Sans, and most the monsters that came from the Underground.

How high is the chance is that the monsters on the surface will rage a war on humans if all the monster and humans are killed in the Underground by a human?

The chance is 100 percent, which meant it will be a mess, a real mess.

Plus, if Asgore tried to leave the place, Skye will pull the string, and then boom. Game over for anyone still down there.

But at least they had one advantage. Knowing the plan in prior, so they can deal with it, they had around 1 hour to solve the problem before the kitchen staff goes on stage.

Whoever did this move, it was a checkmate once they entered the Underground. They couldn't solve this by normal means.

What's worse, only Frisk, Asriel, Darkness, and Alphys could know this.

Asgore was the target, so it's not a great idea to tell him if he reacted iffy after knew the whole event, no one could guarantee what might happen. Plus, if Toriel knew her husband would know it. Papyrus should concentrate on his position as a head cook to avoid attention. Others won't believe it

So, it's up to the four people to think up something to stop this madness, and whatever they planned, must be unusual and unexpected.

—The alley which was Catty and Bratty's store—

The place was quiet after Catty and Bratty left. They started a new store on the surface, which staring recycle junk items and bring them to new purpose of usages. The perfect place for four people to talk about things which shouldn't be heard by others.

Alphys was nervous, why something like this would fell on her shoulders? She didn't have the courage to take it, and perhaps the talent to achieve it. Her mind wandered to her failures again.

Of course, her emotions were written on her face.

But the discussion pressed on.

Frisk made a conclusion. "We couldn't assault her. So, only two ways can solve this, steal the detonator, or put her in a situation which she couldn't use it."

"If my cousin was here he could try the first option. But he's far away. There's no chance for him to get back in time." Darkness stated. "So, we can only choose the latter one."

Alphys was looking the trio talking about the plan needed, and she felt herself useless, not being productive. Every time when things go wrong, she always panics and loses her wit. "Darn it Alphys, all you friends' lives and future are in your paws! Think!" She looked in her dimension box out of panic, and found something interesting. "Isn't this the sparkle spreader I invented for Mettaton? Wait, what if I can… no… that's not practical."

"What's the matter, Alphys?" Frisk found Alphys had some changes on her face. "Got an idea?"

Alphys slowly said her idea. "This is a sparkle spreader, I made it for Mettaton to let her spay glitter everywhere he wanted, even in midair, this item can fly about 20 meters about the floor. I was thinking whether we can use this as a distraction, and one of us could get the straw man…" Alphys paused when Darkness started to stare the sprinkle spreader.

"Can this spray liquid instead?" Darkness asked this question out of nowhere.

"Err… I can modify it…but…" Asriel patted her back, encouraging her to finish. "Yes," Alphys answered. Just give me 20 minutes. I can modify 10 of these."

Darkness smiled. "Good. I can make an aqua dissolved sedative by using the magical plants here. I had to thank my brother who likes to hunt, he was right of dragging me out to see nature and learn about her, while I was glued to my computer. Non-magic protected creatures will be knocked out by this… instantly. I also needed 20 minutes to mix it up."

Now that was not usual, using a glitter spreader to spray sleeping solutions, and that couldn't be achieved if Alphys and Darkness weren't here.

It doesn't need to say, it's up to Frisk and Asriel to cover up Darkness's and Alphys's whereabouts.

"All right…" Frisk said. "We need a mission code for this… Let's call it…" Frisk was thinking for a name.

"Wait for 20 minutes?" Asriel asked.

Everyone was looking at Asriel, just as expected, father like son is a universal truth, no matter humans or monsters. Even in horrible naming. But it was quite funny to see how serious Asriel was while telling the group the horrible name.

I would call it "Final Hope", Azzy. Since this is really our last chance, if we fail, we die." Frisk said.

"Oh…" Asriel was disappointed that his name was not accepted but cheered up later. "OK. Then, let's go get Mom and Dad busy!" The duo left the place. Leaving Darkness and Alphys.

"So," Darkness said. "Mission: Final Hope. Start." He showed his paw to Alphys, wanting to make a hi-five.

Alphys's paw slammed on Darkness's and they left the place, preparing for the action.

"Let's do this!"


Author note's

I'm getting very productive!

Now, our friends had a counter plan, but as you seen so far, this plan will fail… What next?

And for Tempest's and Darkness's brother. I don't plan to let them appear in this fic too much, only name mentioning.

I planned to put them in a fic about The War, which was about a thousand years ago from this fiction. I'm still plotting it. Once it came out, I'll tell you.

And I took a look at the previous chapters…

Just one sentence, I really improved since the beginning.

After the story is done… I'll rework it.

Posting a new version of this story, making events moving smoother, and more detailed plots. Also, the main structure will not change, but some events will be taken out, and new ones will be put in.

But I won't delete this, this was my first fiction. I'm going to keep it here.

Well, according to the speed I was writing… it might take another year or so for that to happen.

That is all!
