Chapter 37 We Are One

—The next day—

—Dreemurrs house—

Most of the main group of the monster came at the place, discussing what should they do.

Everyone wore their best battle outfit. Asgore and Undyne put on their armor, Toriel wore her Delta Rune robe, Alphys changed to her lab coat. Sans, Papyrus, and Gaster didn't change in appearance. Darkness had geared his hunter outfit, which was strange to the folks. Most of them thought he was a scientist like Alphys.

"All right, everyone's here," Undyne announced. "Let's try to figure out how to help Tempest. Now we have two options so far. One, defeat Lunar, this should be a hard one since Lunar had DETERMINATION, only three people in our group had it," Undyne looked at Frisk and Darkness. "and two of them are not good at fighting. Second, try to get Tempest out of Lunar, this not easier than the last since I don't think such a battle-hungry dragon-like Lunar will listen to orders easily. But Alphys and Darkness stood up all night yesterday to get a device out to help."

Alphys showed some syringe. "This, is the micro version of DETERMINATION extraction machine," Alphys gave everyone one. "According to all the information I learned from Darkness, I was able to adjust all the parameters and create this. It's simple. Just stab it on Lunar, and the device will do the next. And it's fragile, don't throw it or fire it with something." Alphys started to stumble. "Now, I really needed a res…" Alphy fainted out, falling forward and her love fetched her gently. Undyne looked at her sleeping. She was smiling in sleep.

"She used up all her awake time… to get it out." Darkness shook his head. "Time is really merciless."

"Why didn't Tempest tell us he had a double?" Undyne asked Darkness. "If he had told us, this might won't happen." It seemed like Alphys's faint had triggered Undyne, by hearing her volume and emotions are rising in her voice.

"Well," Darkness said while having suppressed sadness in his voice. "Tempest thought Lunar was a shame to him, so he preferred to not say it. It's not that he didn't believe all of you, judging by his actively providing his scales to you, he does trust you, but Lunar was something he wasn't ready to tell others yet." Darkness sighted. "I was hoping someone could talk him out of it."

The Dreemurrs thought the Jiang family was really messed up one, not any short than their family tragic.

"Now." Gerson pulled everyone back. "How abou' we talk about what are we going to do next."

—Park—

Lunar was waiting at the fountain. The power just went off in Ebott, since there are not enough employees maintaining the power station. The whole city went into a sudden dead silence once the power went out, turning Ebott into a dead town. She could feel a few people coming her way. "It's the Dreemurrs." Lunar was excited. "Alongside with some people who I'm interested in." Her hand was rubbing her sheathed Katana with excitement.

'Lunar, what is the point of dragging so many people into this?' Tempest asked in her mind.

'Well then, Lemee ask you back, what is your point to kill people with little honor?' Lunar was quite annoyed about she couldn't get Tempest complete out of this body, but she still had full control anyway.

'You much more like Mother's child, Lunar. You lack the exact same thing that our mom had. I kill them because I know they are much worse than me. Have you ever thought about this? Did you ever think what your actions might cause?'

'No, why should I even care?' Lunar made a W pose. 'Isn't it right to be honest about your own desires?' But she had complicated thoughts when Tempest mentioned their mother.

Tempest went silent, not knowing whether he was tired or gave up reasoning.

"Died out? Good. I don't like someone nagging in my head."

Lunar focused at the entrance of the park, they should appear at any moment now.

And as she expected, they arrived. She licked her lips and stood up. Carrying her Katana by putting in on both shoulders horizontally, while using her arms to hold it in place. She slowly walked up to the gang.

"Hey there." Lunar was looking around, assessing everyone at the place. "So, do you want to go straight down to business?"

"First things first," Undyne said. "Wake all the people up first."

"Na, I don't know how to do it. I can't too." Lunar said irresponsibly and immediately shifted the subject to something to her favorite. "I have a better idea. How about fighting me first? I know you like to, according to Tempest."

"That's not the case today." Undyne gritted. "Why do you do this to all of them?"

"Who?" Lunar showed confusion, not knowing she was really confused, or she was just trying to taunt Undyne. "I don't know what are you talking about."

That confusion which Lunar had on her face triggered Undyne, involving innocent people in this and not feeling anything? "Al'right, that was enough." She summoned a spear. "I'll take you down."

"Wait." Asgore used his triton to halt Undyne from getting forward. "Undyne, you're not ready, let me first."

"What…" This time it was Undyne's turn to be confused.

"Undyne, what did I told you in lesson one?" Asgore looked straight into her eyes. "I told you it's important, it might cost your SOUL if you don't follow it."

"Always have a calm mind before a fight… never let your emotions take over. They are power sources, not controllers of the fight." Undyne now realized why Asgore stopped her. Alphys's pass-out, this event, and what just Lunar said made her heat headed. Not the best mindset for fighting a combat expert. Although Darkness guaranteed that Lunar won't kill, that doesn't lead that she will be mercy on her attacking her exploits in her defenses, having a chaotic mind the is an exact ingredient to a messed-up fight.

"Before you can sort it out, I'll take place." Asgore turned to Lunar. "I'll challenge you, Lunar, I hope you can accept my challenge."

"Whatever, I'll take it. That fish wasn't ready, I can tell. I hear that you made some serious improvements since then. I'm hyped!" Lunar shouted with excitement with her paws were shaking violently, and she placed her weapon tied to her side. Getting ready to fight.

It was then that everyone realized, Lunar wasn't a bag dragon that they thought. She just a dragoness who got completely carried away by her battle lust. She only needs a fight, decent one, it's likely that she doesn't care about winning or not.

But anyway, they still need to win her, in order to get Tempest out of her.

Asgore and Lunar watched each other for a while, assessing which move they should use first. And in a split second, lunged and attack by her using right fist, aiming at the king's chest. Asgore just watched her coming and dodged it by simply stepping aside right at the last moment before impact, making Lunar punching nothing but the air, just like a bull in a bullfight. His paws weren't goofing off during the dodge. He held up his weapon and stabbed Lunar on the side. Lunar reached to her Katana, which was now tied to her side, with her left paw and blocked the attack, not forgetting to push a counter-attack, a roundhouse launched by her left feet that almost hit Asgore, and made a flip using momentum which was made by the missing kick, in order to prevent herself tumbling over; then landed in a distance.

"Good," Lunar said. "You've really made some impressive progress. Last time, I got you pretty well on that kind of attack."

"…" Asgore didn't say a word. What they just did was just a test, and after that encounter, Asgore could tell Lunar was only fooling around, she not even trying to do her best. In other words, Lunar is stronger than him, if only considering close combat, but he still needs to win.

Lunar could feel his resolve to win this and felt a bit amused by it.

This time it was Asgore who took the first attack.

Asgore decided to use another approach, he used his triton to draw in the air, slowly, fire started to form in the void.

"So, you are using magic? Well, so do I. I'm going to use my support magic. Heads up, I'm going really fast!" Lunar shouted.

Lunar made a steady stance, with both paws on her weapon. She concentrated all her magic power in her arms to make them quicker.

After several tensioned seconds, Asgore's eyes flashed, with all the flames surrounding him charging at Lunar at once. Lunar took a deep breath. And started to wave her Katana with unbelievable speed.

—Bang! Bang! Bang!—

The sound of powerful magic colliding and disappearing resonance in the air.

And a distinctive sound of explosion hit everyone's ear, a fireball passed Lunar's blade dance and exploded on her back.

"Hsss…" Lunar hissed when flame hit her in the back. "OK, that hurts." But the pain seemed to make Lunar turned on. "Now that was called an attack! I'm really going seriously now, King Asgore!"

Darkness doubted if he heard it wrong that Lunar just called Asgore by his title. That meant Lunar admitted Asgore's strength and resolve to win, at least to some degree.

This time Lunar went more aggressive, constantly attacking Asgore by her weapon. Another series of loud noises caused by weapon clashing. Asgore felt his paws slowly being paralyzed from the successful attacks from Lunar, but Lunar seemed to be getting more energized, every blow was growing in more power than the last one, not acting like someone who got a serious burn.

And at last, Asgore wasn't swift enough to block the attack, and his guard got broke by Lunar, and Lunar placed her Katana right on his neck; then pinned him on the ground, huffing.

Just like Darkness said, Lunar didn't kill Asgore when he was defeated.

"Well, I take the Loser King back, that's for sure. Hsss…" She touched her back, the burn was there, three degree at least. 'That hurts, but it made me feel alive again.' Lunar smiled, this group is going to deliver more than she expected "But I'm far from satisfied. I haven't fought for years." She let go Asgore and looked at Undyne. "So, are you ready?"

"I supposed to ask you that. Can you still fight with that burn?" Undyne decided not to attack her at the moment. If she is a dragon who cares about fighting honors, then she is supposed to repay the same to Lunar.

"I don't… what?" Lunar stood up. The grievous burn on her back was gone. Making the gang surprised. Not even Toriel could heal others that fast. The cause of the surprise was also shocked, too. She already was ready to endure that wound, and it vanished without a trace. "All right then. I had no idea why did that happen. But I already know one thing." Lunar's eyes flashed with excitement. "This will be good as hell!"

Undyne didn't say anything else once Lunar finished the last word, she simply attacked her. She charged with her spear.

Lunar also charged forward, but Undyne suddenly changed her position from handing to throwing a spear. Then, she threw it at Lunar. In Lunar's eyes, it was a super-fast spear. Since the fact that they are running toward each other and the spear had its own speed. There's no time for her to get her Katana out, she could only make a dodge. She moved herself a little more left, as an attempt to avoid the spear. The spear still hit her on the side, sent her flying, and smashed heavily into a wall.

"Hehehe…" Lunar chuckled, and after a second her chuckling became laughing like a lunatic on the wall. "HAhaha! Now that's something!" She casually walked out the wall, with slit silver reptile eyes. "I like what kind of fight you going to bring to me!" She pulled out her Katana.

"Com'on ya fish. I believe you can do more like that." It didn't seem like she was that hurt by the heavy blow.

'I'm pretty sure that attack should at least cracked a bone or two… But she acting nothing happened.'

"If you're confused. I just used my magic to harden my sides. So that blow was not that effective as you think, but I tell you, I'm trashed if I didn't defend." Lunar explained, and stand in position. "Can we go on?"

"Sure!" Undyne yelled and lunged.

Lunar smiled and rushed to catch Undyne's attack.

It was a tense battle between close ranged weapons, in the fight, Undyne didn't forget to use the syringe on Lunar, but the dragoness was willing to get hurt than being poked by the device. Because of trying to dodge the syringe, Undyne had a lot of gaps to make an attack, but strangely, she didn't take advantage of them. Not knowing that Undyne could use them for any other reasons.

After dozens of back and forward, the two suddenly separated and had a 5-meter distance between them.

Lunar looked at Undyne. "What are you trying to do, fish lady? I know you want something from me. I can feel it. Spit it out."

"Don't you think it is not right involved irrelevant people?" Undyne asked.

"What irrelevant people?"

"Most of the monster and humans here just want a peaceful life, and you came in and wrecked it all apart. Don't you feel it's not right to do that?"

It seemed that just triggered something in Lunar's mind by watching her standing still at spot doing nothing but gazing at Undyne. After a while, she chuckled.

"You know, I heard that from someone else, the exact same words," Lunar answered.

"Who then?" Undyne watched Lunar while sticking her spear on the ground.

"That's none of your business. Plus, she's very dead." Lunar cut off the subject abruptly. "Let's proceed."

And the two clashed weapons again, trying to push each other off and attack.

'What is this?' Undyne felt confusion. 'Lunar had some sort of hesitation in her strikes. Was that sentence made her thought of something?'

Of course, a not concentrated fighter was no match for Undyne. After a few rounds, Undyne was getting the upper hand. Lunar was not as aggressive when fighting Asgore, and she got more and more absent.

Lunar attacked her head by slicing down, Undyne blocked it horizontally with her spear, the two staggered for a while. Undyne suddenly put her spear at an angle, let the Katana slip along her magical spear. It was too late when Lunar found what was Undyne up to and withdraw her Katana out, the Katana was stuck in the head of the spear. Undyne smiled, the fish monster didn't miss this opportunity, she hooked Lunar's weapon, and made a swing. The weapon slipped out of Lunar's paws.

—Thump—

The sound of Lunar's weapon hit the earth was loud and clear, it landed right beside Undyne. There's no way Lunar is getting it back. Undyne pointed her spear at Lunar's throat.

"Well, that's it for me," Lunar said. "Do whatever you want." Lunar was not very satisfied, but Undyne had got her well, it was her who was wandering her mind off, because of a distant memory, she would follow the honors of a fighter. "I want to fight more, still."

Undyne walked close and stabbed her with the syringe after a second the device was filled with black liquid.

"So that was your goal… You believe Tempest can help all of this." Lunar felt Tempest left her. "I don't know that will work… at least I didn't notice that in his memory."

"We got him." Undyne looked at the liquid inside. "What next?"

"Just pass it to me." Darkness said. "I'll take care the rest."

After communicating with Tempest for a while, Darkness frowned. "It seemed like things were not as easy as we thought."

"Not that easy?" Asriel asked. "What does that mean?"

"Tempest told me he needs his body. But now…" Darkness looked at Lunar. "My cousin over there won't agree on this."

"Can I try?" Frisk asked. "I'll try to convince her."

Asgore and Toriel were uneased. It's not they don't believe Frisk's ability to convince others, otherwise, all of this won't happen in the first place. They both know how hard did Lunar hit. It took quite some effort for Toriel to heal the king, his arms were nearly wasted because of blocking Lunar's attacks. If Lunar assaulted her, it might not end well.

"Hey." Lunar raised her head when she heard the sound.

"I know you. The human who free the monsters and saved the prince. Plus, not a fan of battle. What is your thing here?"

"For a question. Why do you hate Tempest?

"Hum! Because he locked me in the Land of Dreams for like what, forever? That was enough to hate him!"

"He had his part wrong on taking way too extreme methods on you, but he's not someone who will do this casually, there must be a reason."

"…" Lunar started to think, she doesn't do that many times, and it's mostly on fighting, she knew Tempest too well, Frisk was right on that one, she only focused on the fact that she was locked there, not on the reason why now this question emerged in her mind.

"Bother to hear my guess?" Frisk said. "I think you battle lust was endangering others and yourself. You know, if you continue to do this, you will get killed or be captured. Or something worse."

Lunar was surprised when Frisk mentioned herself, that was never a way she would think.

"Myself? When did Tempest become such a generous monster?" Lunar huffed, she's not going to take that.

"Because he is you, and you are him. I believe he had a way to take you out of him, but he didn't do it."

'That was true, there was a spell in the book to take an addition SPIRIT out of the body. I actually want to do that when everything is settled.' But Lunar didn't say that out loud.

Frisk continued to talk. "Whether you or he likes it or not, it's already a fact you both are the same monster. You are twins, at least I think. Tempest just understood that a bit more than you did."

Lunar continued to think, was that true? Or this human was just bluffing around?

After some internal struggle, she decided to take the human's viewpoint about this, since she couldn't find another feasible explanation for this. He had many years, many leisure time, but he didn't decide to banish her from this body.

"OK…" Lunar said. "Put him back inside. I'll let him take control."

Darkness injected Tempest back inside. After a while, the red dragon opened his eyes again, this time they were gold.

"I agree with you, Frisk." Tempest looked annoyed. "Although I hate to admit it, she is part of me. And I am part of her. We are bounded to stick together. Maybe I should use a better way to treat her, instead of treating her as an enemy. I need to have a chat with her soon."

Tempest touched his head as if he had a headache. "Alright then. Now I will ask Lunar to get all of you asleep. Then I'll wake everyone up. It'll only take 5 seconds to finish it."

"Doesn't that lead to bad results?" Alphys asked.

"If you're asking succession rate… I would say near 100 percent. In fact, you might won't feel anything."

"What?!" Darkness yelled. "How?"

"It's strange, we are the same monster, but different entries. We can understand Dream and Nightmare respectively and work together to finish it. It takes out the main reason why the ritual would fail. Perhaps, the ancestor who made this also had a alter personality? No one knows. So, get ready, Lunar is starting."

Slowly the gang except Darkness felt dizzy and sleepy. At a certain point they couldn't feel their conscious and it blacked out, after another second the world became bright again, the gang watched the sleepy humans slowly woke up, mostly confused why they are here, it took another second for them to realize why they are going to do next, and hustle to their destination. It seemed like no one didn't notice they were asleep before.

"OK, that was done, I don't know how will people react when they found a day passed without a hint… Most humans won't remember they had been sleeping. Which was good for everyone. Now the question is, how are we going to deal with Lunar, after she dealt such destruction."

"I think we are not going to punish her, after all, she wasn't that bad. And punishing her is the same as punishing Tempest, which is not right. But how are we going to deal with her…" Toriel looked at Tempest with a headache. "Two different entries in one monster, I haven't met something like this before. As far as I know, monsters will die before developing any mental problems."

After a while, Lunar's voice appeared. "I just strike a deal with Tempest, from now on, we share our 24 hours of time in two halves. Well, after hearing what just Frisk told me, I suddenly had some interest in this group." Lunar blinked her silver eyes. "I would like to watch what happens next. I kinda understand why did Tempest wanna to stick around with you guys."

"And that is settled for now…" Asgore folded his arms, staring at Lunar.

"What's the long face?" Lunar giggled and made fun of the king. "You have to be used to my existence since I'll meet you more often than you think."

Asgore sighted. 'Golly. How long I can bear this without getting crazy?'

Author note's

Hello?

I need to rest a bit after a trip to Japan.

I'm alive, just have a lot of things on my back!

There's too much to tell in such few words.

Akihabara was such a heaven for anime fans and Otakus(?)!

Tokyo's sub is literally a mess, imagine 10 rail companies in the same station and the station is split up into 3 parts, that's exactly what I saw in Shinjuku…

Too much.

Yes, with such data and experience, I'm considering to add some of it in my story.

Next chapter will be out soon, I'm on 66% for now, I'll take it out ASAP.

Thank you very much!

So, this event ended.

But I still have some aftermath to address, mostly the KING on the next chapter, he's almost a sandbag in the major fights, and that will cause something. The next chapter covers it, at least I think.

That is all!
