Chapter 33: Grand Finale
I open my eyes and I'm back in the room with Flowey. "Had enough, child?" "Are you ready to die?" "I don't think so." I see a sign. It says "Flowey's DF dropped to 0!" "It's my turn to go on the offensive." I swing my Dagger into the air creating an X. It turns blue and shoots an arc straight at Flowey. 300 Damage. He's got a high HP bar and my earlier attacks barely scratched him. Now, things are changing. He shoots the plant monsters. I duck underneath and slice the arm off. 500 damage. Flowey screams in pain. So far all I'm doing is making him angry. Here come the bombs. I swing my dagger and deflect one right into Flowey's face. 1000 damage. The health bar is going down. I can do this! Here comes the beam. Can I deflect it with my dagger? Time to find out. I plant my feet, holding back the beam, trying to push it back towards Flowey. My dagger starts glowing blue. It shoots a beam right at Flowey. 2000 Damage. Flowey screams out in pain and the beam fades.
His health bar is at half. I can beat him! He's not invincible! "You can't beat me." I am the prince of this world." "I will be a GOD!" "You can't stop me." "I'm sick of you Flowey. Take this!" I create the blue arc again but swing it up and down and left and right so it repeatedly hits Flowey. 5000 damage. His health bar is almost done. He shoots the plant monsters and the beam at the same time. I slash at the plant monster and hold my dagger to block the beam. "You are quite the fighter, but you are no match for me." "Just who do you think you are?" "I am Michael, the Angel!" My dagger clashes against the beam. "The SAVEior of this world!" "I am going to defeat you and save everyone." The beam starts to head back at Flowey. "For the Underground!" The beam pushes towards Flowey. "For the Monsters!" The beam continues to move towards Flowey. "For Humanity!" The beam is almost about to hit Flowey. "For my best friend!" So close. "And finally, Flowey, this is for Frisk!" My dagger glows blue and shoots a beam blasting my beam and Flowey's beam directly at him. I am blinded by the light and I can't see.
I open my eyes. Flowey is screaming. I did it! I defeated him! "NoNo... NO! This CAN'T be happening! You... YOU..." "Wait what is that?" File 0 loaded. What the hell? His HP Bar is restored! He's cackling. "You IDIOT." The Beam! I leap to the side, but I'm trapped in limbo. Every time I avoid, he keeps reloading the file until he finally hits me. My HP drops to 1/20. Uh oh. He surrounds me in a ring of friendliness pellets. There's nowhere to go. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Flowey is laughing triumphantly. "Hee hee hee. Did you REALLY think… You could defeat ME!? I am the GOD of this world. And YOU?" You're HOPELESS. Hopeless and alone... Golly, that's right! Your WORTHLESS friends… ... can't save you now. Call for help. I dare you. Cry into the darkness! "Mommy! Daddy!" "Somebody help!" See what good it does you!" I click ACT(You called for help...) But nobody came. The pellets begin to move towards me, closing in. "Boy! What a shame! Nobody else... Is gonna get to see you DIE!" The pellets close in. What do I do? What can I do? This is it. This is the end. I close my eyes. I'll never see Frisk again or Chara or Toriel or anyone.
Wait a minute. I open my eyes. No. It's not the end. I can't lose Hope. I can't give up. As long as there is HOPE anything is possible. I grab the piece of butterscotch pie and eat it. My HP bar maxes out and the pellets suddenly disappear. "What? | How'd you...? | Well, I'll just" File Load 2 Failed. "Wh... Where are my powers!?" The SOULS appear in front of me along with the children. "You did it Michael." "Justice!" "You freed us." "We will finish this with your help." "Let's take him down." "You did it!" Flowey looks at me in shock. "The souls...? What are they doing?" "Now!" The children start glowing and shoot beams into my dagger, creating the rainbow beam. I point my dagger straight at Flowey. "Fire!" The beam hits Flowey directly and he screams. "NO! NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO OBEY ME! STOP! STOP IT! STOOOOPPPP!" Flowey explodes in another bright beam of light which stuns me and I fall backwards and hit my head and am out cold. I open my eyes. I'm back in the Barrier Room. The children are gone as are the SOULS. All I can see at first is darkness and the light from the Barrier, but now I can see a withered flower. "Flowey." I walk over to him. "You beat me. You foiled my evil plan. You truly are better." "So kill me, please." "Kill me and end my suffering." Kill Flowey? If this had happened at the beginning of my journey, I would've done it in a heartbeat. He was the one who murdered Frisk. He took everything from me. But after my conversation with the SOULS and my talks with Toriel and Frisk, I can't do it. It's not even about what the SOULS said. I sheath my dagger. "What are you doing? Do you really think I've learned anything from this?" "That's not the point. My eyes which had been glowing with golden flames return to normal. "Sparing me won't change anything. Killing me is the only way to end this." "That's not true." My dagger returns to normal as the blue glow fades. "If you let me live… I'll come back. I'll kill you. "Already tried that." I'll kill everyone. I'll kill everyone you love." "You already did that." "But I learned something, Flowey." My kind smile returns and I move closer to Flowey. "Every life, no matter what they've done or what they've said is worth saving. Everyone deserves to live." "Even you." I give Flowey a hug. Rather than bite me or attack, he is silent. He starts speaking "Why? ... why are you being… so nice to me? I can't understand. I can't understand! I just can't understand." He descends into the ground. Flowey ran away. I sigh and suddenly realize how tired I am. I lay down, close my eyes and fall asleep…
