So, you've returned? What is it you seek? A new experience? I've already spoken on the matter…
Your
Name
Is
"Noelle!" said a voicemail on Noelle's phone "get up it's time for school!" "oh, right!" said Noelle, waking up in a hurry and heading off to school. Later at the school. "Maybe I could go with Susie…" said Noelle "umm…okay..?" said Alphys "fear not, Noelle, I shall occupy you for the herculean task! Susie shan't harm you!" said Berdly "no, it's fine…" said Noelle sheepishly "whatever." said Susie leaving the classroom "let's go Noelle" said Berdly following. When Noelle leaves the classroom she sees Susie talking to Berdly "oh I finally caught Susie! She's going to be expelled!' I know that's what you're thinking." said Susie "a-and, you'd be…correct…" said Berdly "hmph. Well, in that case…" said Susie grabbing Berdly and slamming him against the wall "how about I get expelled for some real carnage." said Susie about to bite off Berdly's face before stopping and noticing Noelle "nah, nevermind, wouldn't want to traumatize poor Noelle" said Susie "let's go". Eventually they arrive at the supply closet. "We're here" said Susie "let's get this over with" when they opened the door, they saw nothing but darkness "uhhh…well, go in" said Susie "o-okay!" said Noelle and Berdly going in. "Noelle, I'll look for a lightswitch" said Berdly walking forward "that's strange, there aren't any walls…this is pretty big for a supply closet" said Berdly "Berdly, let's check somewhere else" said Noelle "you're right, Noelle, let's go" said Berdly heading for the door…and then it shut. "SUSAN! OPEN THE DOOR! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" said Berdly "ummm…Berdly…!" said Noelle as the paper they were standing on fell into an abyss along with the two…
You wake up in a strange place, and you feel something strange in your soul. You walked along a strange, dark wasteland, with eyes along the walls, solve an eye puzzle and see strange, breathing piles of dust, and holes in the walls too dark to see through. You eventually find more dust and they explode as you touch them until…"WHAT DO YOU WAN-oh, Noelle, there you are! Do you know what this place is?" said Berdly.
!no
do you?
"Hmm…let's see if we can find anyone" said Berdly "lead the way" you walk forward and find someone on a cliff above watching you "uh, hello, you there, do you know where we are?" said Berdly, before the figure shoots spade projectiles at you "RUN!" said Berdly running away, and you follow him as you dodge the spades. You two eventually arrive at some kind of waterfall "hurry!" said Berdly as you two go down dodging more spades and arriving at the bottom.
You and Berdly find yourself in a strange town with a castle off in the distance with some strange dark pillar flowing forth "I don't think this is the supply closet anymore…" said Berdly as you two walk toward the castle. "welcome, heroes…" said a feminine voice "who's there?" said Berdly "do not be alarmed…I am not your enemy" said the voice, before they see a cloaked figure "welcome, I am the princess of this kingdom. The kingdom of Darkness. Noelle, Berdly, There's a legend in this land, that one day, two heroes of light will arrive, and fulfill the prophecy foretold by time and space, please listen to my tale" said the cloaked figure.
!listen
do not
Once upon a time, a LEGEND was whispered among shadows.
It was a LEGEND of HOPE.
It was a LEGEND of DREAMS.
It was a LEGEND of LIGHT.
It was a LEGEND of DARK.
This is the legend of DELTA RUNE
For millennia, LIGHT and DARK have lived in balance,
Bringing peace to the WORLD.
But if this harmony were to shatter...
a terrible calamity would occur.
The sky will run black with terror
And the land will crack with fear.
Then, her heart pounding...
The EARTH will draw her final breath.
Only then, shining with hope...
Three HEROES appear at WORLDS' edge.
An ANGEL WITH TATTERED WINGS,
A HUMBLED KNIGHT,
And a PRINCESS FROM THE DARK.
Only they can seal the fountains
And banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN.
Only then will balance be restored,
And the WORLD saved from destruction.
Today, the FOUNTAIN OF DARKNESS-
The geyser that gives this land form-
Stands tall at the center of the kingdom.
But recently, another fountain has appeared on the horizon...
And with it, the balance of LIGHT and DARK begins to shift.
"Thank you for listening to my tale, I believe you two are the heroes of legend, you have the courage to save the world!" said the cloaked figure "heroes?" said Berdly "o-of course, I understand now! You summoned me here to save the world!" said Berdly "umm…that's not what I sai-" said the cloaked figure "I understand, madam, I will go off on a grand quest!" said Berdly posing "were you even listening?!" said the cloaked figure before strange laughter came from nowhere and a teardrop headed kid on a flame bike knocked the cloaked figure away "ho ho ho! the heroes are already running away! And they didn't even know I was here! My dad is gonna make me Son of the Month!" said the boy "who are you?!" said Berdly "I'm…the bad guy!" said the 'bad guy' "I see…an adversary! I shall take you down, villain!" said Berdly "so, you clowns want to seal our fountain? And - still picturing you guys as clowns - save the world from ETERNAL DARKNESS, huh?!" said the 'bad guy' "indeed!" said Berdly "okay. And you'll go EAST, it's your only way home! But I, Lancer, will stop you! And I have a flawless 2 step plan to ensure that! Step 1: I thrash you. Step 2: you lose." said Lancer "I refuse to let that happen!" said Berdly "get ready, Noelle!"
You told Lancer you can't tell the difference between his clothes and his body
He seems flattered…his ATTACK POWER went down!
BERDLY attacked automatically
LANCER told 20 damage
"Halt, clowns, this bike is fueled by victory!" said Lancer
Lancer rode on his bike and you dodged it
You tried to compliment LANCER again…
He sees it as insincere…his ATTACK POWER went back up!
BERDLY attacks automatically
Lancer takes 20 damage
"I love getting thrashed! wait, that's you guys" said Lancer
Lancer rides around shooting spades out you, you dodge them all
You compliment LANCER.
He gets confused as to your sincerity.
Instead of going up or down, his ATTACK POWER goes sideways..?
BERDLY attacks automatically
LANCER takes 20 damage
"Stop! My personality is getting too deep!" said Lancer
Lancer rode his bike and rams into you, Noelle takes 21 damage
You say some kind words.
They get absorbed into Lancer's skin.
Berdly attacks automatically
LANCER takes 20 damage
"So, what are you guys doing after this?" said Lancer
He rides around shooting spades, you dodge all of them
"Wait! Wait a second! My bike is running out of fuel…! Alright, you punk-a-roos! you had the luck of the draw this time, but…Next time, the losers will be you! Hahaha! Bye, losers! I need to get home before dinner!" said Lancer riding off.
Battle won!
You earned 0 exp and 10 d
"Hey, get back here!" said Berdly "sorry, I lost my place, you see-" said the cloaked figure "umm…can you…take off…the cloak..? I can't hear you" said Berdly "oh right" said the figure taking off the cloak, revealing a woman in a purple silk gown, a pointed hat with a veil only revealing her mouth, elbow length gloves, and a paper fan "my name is Seds, and Noelle, Berdly, it's a pleasure to meet you" said Seds "I'm certain will be good friends soon" "so, that fountain thingy is east?" said Berdly "umm…yeah?" said Seds "okay, I'm off to fulfill my destiny! You two wait for me!" said Berdly running off "*sigh* he's going to be a handful, isn't he?" said Seds.
!yeah
he's not that bad
"Well, I guess it's just the two of us, then…" said Seds "Noelle, I'm a princess but…I don't have any subjects, I've been here my whole life waiting for you two, so let's find Berdly southeast of here" said Seds "lead the way, Noelle!". You and Seds walk to southeast "Noelle, would you like a tutorial for combat?" said Seds.
yes
!no
"Oh, okay" said Seds as you two contine to a giant golden door "the Great Door! It's open?! That must have been how Lancer got in…well, let's go, Noelle" said Seds, you walk through and Seds shuts the Great Door…
You two arrive in a field with purple grass and trees with red leaves and "enemies ahead! You're gonna die! Signed Lancer" said a sign and you encounter an enemy.
You convinced RUDINN
RUDINN became CONVINCED!

RUDINN was SPARED!

"If you're reading this sign…I guess you're dead. Signed Lancer" said another sign. You and Seds continue and encounter Lancer again "if it isn't my two favorite people. Psyche! You guys aren't even in my top five!" said Lancer "Lancer, where's Berdly?" said Seds "you mean the chicken nugget boy? Ho ho ho…you fools! You're too late to stop me…!" said Lancer "what did you do?" said Seds "it's so simple…he beat me up and I ran off" said Lancer "that's a bit anticlimactic…" said Seds walking away "if you go that way, my troops will thrash you!" said Lancer "is that a threat?" said Seds "it's more of an invitation" said Lancer. And so you and Seds fight and befriend more enemies and encounter a triangular man with a chef's hat "mama miba! I'm TOPCHEF! My latest cake worked me to exhaustion! And some stuck-up child turned his nose at my masterpiece!" said Topchef "that's sounds like Berdly, we're heading the right way" sighed Seds. After fighting some more enemies and solving a puzzle, you find a puzzle piece looking guy "woah, wait a minute! Even if you're my enemy, I've got to warn you! There's some maniac walking around! He said 'don't worry, citizen, I will protect you!' and processed to beat up Frankie! Some hero he was!" said Jigsawry. Later. "Ho ho ho! You survived the maze somehow! But don't count your blessings before they hatch! Let's see how you fare against this team!" said Lancer bringing in three Hathys.
you flattered HATHY
HATHY started asking questions!
SEDS spared HATHY
HATHY was SPARED!
The two Hathys surrounded you with hearts…and nothing else happened…
"Hey, why aren't you thrashed yet?" said Lancer
"Because these you support enemies, there bullet patterns aren't balanced at all" said Seds "it's like a dinner made of three glasses of wine"
"And that's…unusual…somehow?" said Lancer
"Let's talk about this later" said Seds
you flattered HATHY
HATHY started asking questions!
SEDS spared HATHY

"Sweet, how much do I get?" said Lancer
"You…lost…you don't get any" said Seds
"Oh…can I have some of yours?" said Lancer
"No." said Seds
"Fine, later, losers!" said Lancer
You eventually find Berdly trying to solve a similar puzzle as you and Seds did earlier "oh, Noelle, you're here, I told you two to wait for me. Well, since you're here, can you watch me solve this puzzle!" said Berdly "as soon…as I figure it out…" said Berdly "Berdly, you can't solve everything on your own. Noelle is the only one who can seal the fountain, so we need to work together!" said Seds "hmmm…mayhaps you're right…you are in clear need of my assistance, so you came all this way to get me! It's decided I will aid you!" said Berdly "..." said Seds dumbfounded "it's…a start…cue the fanfare..?" said Seds
Berdly joined the party…only to boost his ego!
"Alright, back to the puzzle'' said Seds. and so with Berdly at your side, you solved it with ease "my brilliant plan worked!" said Berdly smugly "..." said Seds "let's go" said Berdly. Three of you walk forward and find a checker piece with legs and a dog face approach.
You tried to convince C. ROUND
It didn't understand!
"Fear not, I will slay this beast!" said Berdly
"But, it isn't doing any-" said Seds

You WON! You got 0 exp and 0 d
"umm…Berdly?" said Seds "yeah?" said Berdly "can…not do that..? We are the heroes of this world, and we shouldn't beat up people who MIGHT be a threat" said Seds "...okay, I'll only beat up foes that look like a threat!" said Berdly "...he completely missed the point…" said Seds.
!you get used to it
that's Berdly for you
"I don't think I want to" said Seds. the three of you arrive in a shop "hee hee…welcome, travelers, my name is Seam, pronounced 'Shawn'. Purchase any items that seem of interest to you" said Seam, you proceeded to buy a 'A Plus Halberd', a 'Heart Fan' and a couple dark candies. You three eventually find Lancer "well, flip my flapjacks! The clowns are back in town!" said Lancer "well, bad news! Since you last saw me several minutes ago…I've created a brand new fighting team ready to stop you! Not even chicken nugget boy can stop me now! Ho ho ho! Are you ready to be trashed!" said Lancer before bringing in three Jigsawrys "hmph. Easy, I've already beaten some of your troops already" said Berdly "what troops?" said Lancer "uhh…the ones in the field" said Berdly "those guys? They just live there" said Lancer "oh, have I been attacking innocent people?" said Berdly "wow. That's almost exactly what I told earlier!" said Seds "okay, this getting a bit weird, so, I'm gonna bounce" said Lancer leaving.

You come across a block puzzle "hmph, this is easy. So easy, it's not worth my time. Can you please do it, Noelle?" said Berdly, you solve it. You solve more puzzles and fight more enemies until you reach a giant field that looks like a checkerboard. You eventually find Lancer again "ho ho ho…you've begun to cross the Great Board…the halfway point to our castle. So, it's a shame you clowns will never make it! Behold, for this will tear you to bits!" said Lancer, laughing…and pulling out a bucket. "...what's the bucket for?" said Seds "it's to put the bits in. I'm not allowed to make a mess" said Lancer "okay? So, what's going to…do that?" said Seds "a super weapon, no doubt!" said Berdly "uhh…yes! Yes! It's an evil weapon! A thrashing weapon!" said Lancer "...where…is it, then?" said Seds "it must be charging and we need to stop it, of course!" said Berdly "yeah!" said Lancer "and if it finishes…it'll lead to the end of the world!" said Berdly "yeah!" said Lancer "I'll get started on it!" said Lancer fleeing "wait, what?" said Berdly "*sigh*" said Seds. later. "Hohohoho…well step on my boots. If it isn't the clowns. You boys or girls had better turn back while you can." said Lancer "Lancer! What is your dastardly scheme this time!?" said Berdly "hohoho…I'm simply warning you…!" said Lancer "something extremely dangerous is lying ahead! Hohoho! It's actually really inconvenient! Ha! I can't go home at all because I'm so scared!" said Lancer "a greater evil?! What could it possibly be?!" said Berdly, as you walk forward revealing…C. Round. "Is this it?" said Berdly "wow, chicken nugget boy, you're not scared?!" said Lancer "why should I? It's just a defenseless-" said Berdly as a crown falls on 's head…and it grows big and gets giant legs "it crushes people to death I think" said Lancer.

"I did it?!" said Berdly "wow, you clowns really are heroes! You saved the next twenty minutes of my life!" said Lancer "yeah, yeah, another brilliant victory, thanks to the hero of legend, Berdly!" said Berdly "um, Berdly..?" said Seds "hate to lower your overly inflated ego, but…you didn't help to all. You only made it stronger by attacking it. If you had just acted nice to it in the first place, we could have avoided the entire battle" said Seds "w-what?! It was going to kill us! I was distracting it!" said Berdly "and earlier, you terrorized those troops…" said Seds "I was saving them from…the…other…troops…" said Berdly realizing what he's done "Berdly…whether you like it or not, we're a team. We have to work together in order to save the world, so could you please…be a part of it?" said Seds "perhaps…you're right…" said Berdly "I have been a terrible hero…" said Berdly "I…I'm going to go now…" said Berdly, running off "wait!" said Seds "well…see you, clowns…" said Lancer leaving "grr…why won't he listen to me?! Let's go." said Seds.
You two arrive in a forest and fight some more enemies and find Lancer again "hello again, clowns! Are you ready to meet your doom?!" said Lancer "..." said Lancer "...this…is…weird…hey, where's chicken nugget boy?" said Lancer "I thought he was with you" said Seds "he isn't." said Lancer "he seemed upset" said Seds "...hey, I just thought of something! What if we cheered him up?" said Lancer "why do you want to?" said Seds "because he was fun…" said Lancer "oh okay, what's your idea?" said Seds "remember that weapon that was charging?" said Lancer "yeah…?" said Seds "it…doesn't exist." said Lancer "why am I not surprised" said Seds "can you guys help me make it?" said Lancer "sure…" said Seds "cool beans" said Lancer.

"Wow! Looks nasty! Are you sure you're not evil!?" said Lancer "uhh, no, I guess we just have a knack for it." said Seds "okay, I'll get this built and you two find chicken nugget boy" said Lancer "will do" said Seds. eventually you find Berdly, sitting next to a puzzle "*sigh*" said Berdly "Berdly, there you are" said Seds "huh? Noelle? Seds? What do you want? I thought I was a hindrance…" said Berdly "you aren't. I get you're still new to this, but we need to work together, so please, come back" said Seds "okay…" said Berdly
Berdly reluctantly joined the party, but won't fight, as to not get in the way!
You three continue through the forest, solving puzzles and befriending enemies, although Berdly just sat in the background, not participating. Eventually, you find a giant ominous machine…that looks like a duck. "Hello, clowns! I've returned!" said Lancer riding it "my weapon is ready!" said Lancer "oh no, whatever will we do?" said Seds playing along "..." said Berdly "Berdly…do something…" said Seds "okay, plan b" said Lancer as two explosions appeared in front of you and Seds "I've defeated the heroes!" said Lancer, playing it up "...not yet you haven't!" said Berdly, getting up "if you want to hurt my friends…you'll have to go through me!" said Berdly "that's the spirit!" said Lancer, as you and Seds get up "let's do this!" said Berdly.
You listen to Berdly's idea
"Okay, what we need Lancer off that thing, so, I'm going to throw my halberd at him, handle facing him of course" said Berdly "so, help me aim"

"We…we did it!" said Berdly "yes, we di-wait, you said 'we' I heard it!" said Seds "heh, guess I did" said Berdly "ho ho ho…don't get too excited, clowns…because this thing just finished charging!" said Lancer as the Thrash Machine began glowing "oh no!" said Berdly…but then the Thrash Machine exploded "got you!" said Lancer "*sigh*" said Berdly in relief "feeling better?" said Lancer "yeah, I guess" said Berdly "awesome" said Lancer "..." "..." "now what?" said Lancer "I guess…you could join us" said Seds "really?! that be awesome!" said Lancer.
Lancer joined the party! And Berdly joined the party for real!
The four of you walk through the forest. "Wow, this is cool! I've never been on such a big team before!" said Lancer "don't you have an army?" said Berdly "yeah, but my dad forces them to listen to me. So they don't actually like me that much" said Lancer "well, you don't need them anymore, you have us" said Berdly "aye aye!" said Lancer. "Hmmm…it would seem I am in need of substance" said Berdly as his stomach growled "I can bake you a cake once this is done" said Seds "thanks for the offer, but I'm not really in the mood" said Berdly "look, chicken nugget boy, there's a candy tree" said Lancer "excellent" said Berdly "umm…how do we reach it?" "worry not, chicken nugget boy! I have a special transformation for times like this! Behold!" said Lancer…bending over "Stool Forme!" "all you did was put your hands on the ground" said Seds "is it possible to learn this power?" said Berdly "indeed, I can teach you later!" said Lancer, as Berdly climbed on and grabbed the candy "yeah! Candy joins the party!" said Lancer.
Candy joins the party!
"Let's split it" said Berdly "Noelle, do you want a piece?" said Berdly
!yes
no
"Alright, let's eat" said Lancer. "Delicious" said Berdly, giving a chef's kiss. "I've never had one before" said Lancer "and how was it?" said Berdly "let my teeth are degrading!" said Lancer. "Just walking along with you guys…feels nice" said Lancer "aw, it feels nice walking with you too, Lancer" said Seds "it feels like I'm doing something important" said Lancer "that's because you're walking alongside Lightners, Lancer" said Seds "our purpose - Darkners' purpose - is to aid Lightners. It's the only way we can be truly fulfilled." said Seds "really…? But my dad hates Lightners. He wants to…" said Lancer "does your dad seem happy?" said Seds "...I'm…not sure" said Lancer "okay, can we stop talking about this purpose stuff, it's a little creepy. you're probably happy you ate a weird berry with your friends" said Berdly "f-friends?" said Lancer "yeah, we're friends now, right?" said Berdly "I guess so" said Lancer. "Hey, look, everyone…we can see the castle!" said Seds, pointing at a castle, with designs of a heart, diamond, club, and spade, with a spade in the center, a grinning gate, and the dark fountain "yes! That's where I live! Me and, uh…my…my dad" said Lancer "is that the fountain?" said Berdly "correct, if you and Noelle get there, you can go home!" said Seds "alright, Noelle, Lancer, let's go!" said Berdly "..." said Lancer. "Are you sure there isn't another way home? The fountain is being guarded right now. If you try to go there, um…y…you might get hurt. and…" said Lancer "don't worry, my spade-clad friend, we will try our best to reason with them!" said Berdly "but…what if you had to fight..?" said Lancer "we…will figure that out when we get there" said Berdly "..." said Lancer "I think…I think I need to go" said Lancer "when will you return?" said Berdly "...never." said Lancer running off "L-Lancer?!" said Berdly running after him "Berdly!" said Seds running after him, and you follow her "the Lightners are approaching the castle! Get them!" said a soldier throwing diamond shaped projectiles at you. "Lancer!" said Berdly as Lancer went into the castle gates and slammed them shut "Lancer!" said Berdly "we have you surrounded!" said the soldiers "w-wait!" said Seds, and then the soldiers fired diamond shaped projectiles at you.
All three of you wake up in a cell "we were told to keep you imprisoned down here forever…too bad! Would have loved to see you guys punished! Hahaha!" said a guard "well, this is a nice greeting, isn't it?" said Seds "Noelle, we need to find a way out of here, any ideas?" said Seds.

"Yeah, Noelle?" said Berdly "what? You want my halberd? Okay..?" said Berdly, handing it over. You slide it through the bars…and smack the guard in the head and using it to steal his keys and open the door "great work, Noelle" said Seds "let's find Lancer" said Berdly as you left and found in elevator and left the dungeon.
You exit the elevator and walk around the castle until you find an odd light in a room…and then spikes block the exit "so the worms have decided to crawl out and play…" said a voice "who's there?!" said Seds "geh ha ha ha ha! Thoust fools!" said the voice and a bright pillar of light appeared and disappeared revealing a strange man "I am Rouxls Kaard, thou're greatest adversary! Thou may have clawedst past those otherest conundrums…BUT THOUSE were created by UTTER WEAKLINGS! Now, prepare thouselves. For the STRONGEST puzzle of THOUST LIFE!" said Rouxls Kaard as a puzzle appeared…one are you have to push a block once. "TOIL, WORMS!" said Rouxls Kaard, as you solve it instantly "..." said Rouxls Kaard "GOD…DAMNIT!" said Rouxls Kaard leaving. Later. You entered another room that gets blocked off and Rouxls Kaard appeared again "geh ha ha…thoust guys really think that was all I hadst?! WRONGE! It's time for you to feel my Reale Powere! BEHOLD, MINE ULTIMATE PUZZLE!" said Rouxls Kaard as…a slightly more difficult version of the last puzzle appears and you solve it even quicker "..." "..." "..." "aaaahhh...ha…ha…ha ha…ha ha ha! THOUST FOOLS! That wasn'tst REALLY mine ultimate puzzle! I haveth a wayst better one right…here!" said Rouxls Kaard pointing at nothing "can…can we see it?" said Seds "NO." said Rouxls Kaard leaving. Later, you arrive at a shop…run by Rouxls Kaard "welcome to mine shop, you ungrateful worms! What shalt thou buy?" said Rouxls Kaard. You bought a 'Spade Fan' and a 'Pro-Gamer Halberd' and 10 'RoulxsRoux' "see thou in the dungeon, worms!" said Rouxls Kaard as you left. "Enough, worms…!" said Rouxls Kaard appearing again "thou may have CHEATETHED through mine PUZZLES, but…In COMBAT, thou shalt be scattered about! come, knaves…! Prepareth for battle with…!" said Rouxls Kaard summoning K. Round "WHATEVERETH THIS ISTH!" said Rouxls Kaard "huh…?! The enemy from earlier?! But it's crown looks different!" said Berdly "it's the same" said Seds "yes! With mine Control Crowne…I mayst control any disc-shaped lifeforme!" said Rouxls Kaard "oh no, it looks like it's in pain!" said Berdly "it looks the same!" said Seds "yes…the Control Crowne is painthful…but, I'm certainth this creature will feeleth relief…when it sees how muche MORE paine thou'll be in!" said Rouxls Kaard. You beat the same way you beat Lancer earlier. "..." said Rouxls Kaard "why…brillant! Just BRILLIANT! I knew thou couldst do it! Thou great heroes, thou! Thou see-eth, that was merely…a friendlyth TEST of thine abilities! But thou hast WON! And nowth, NOTHING blocks thine path! I, personally, could NOT be less of an obstruction! Good lucketh, thou great heroes!" said Rouxls Kaard "but you-" said Seds "I. SAID. GOOD. LUCK. ETH. THOU. GREAT. HEROES." said Rouxls Kaard before leaving. You come across the throne room before a giant bridge, where Lancer is "hey, Lancer!" said Berdly "d-dad…" said Lancer "Lancer, my son…what is troubling you…have you dispatched the Lightners..?" said Lancer's father "n-no-" said Lancer "THEY'RE ALIVE?!" said Lancer's father "y-yes, but they're locked up, so they can't get in your way" said Lancer "if that's the case, then who are they?" said Lancer's father "huh?" said Lancer, noticing you "Lancer, why have you been acting so weird?" said Berdly "ummm…hi, Mr. King of Spades, sir, nice to meet you, I'm sure this is a big misunderstanding" said Seds "Lancer…?" said King of Spades "y-yes, father..?" said Lancer "do you…know these Lightners..?" said King of Spades "y-yes…" said Lancer "what did I tell you…?" said King of Spades "don't…get…too attached..?" said Lancer "you have failed…" said King of Spades "they have poisoned your mind with their putrid sentimentality. Free yourself, my son. They care NOT for you." said King of Spades "their goal is to destroy our glorious fountain. They. are. Scum." said King of Spades "n…no they aren't…" said Lancer "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" said King of Spades grabbing Lancer by the throat "let him go!" said Berdly pulling out his halberd "ha ha ha…you want me to LET HIM GO!? Then how about this…? I'll drop him off this edge and let him splatter…unless you kneel and learn your place!" said King of Spades "don't listen to him…he'll…he'll" said Lancer as all three of you kneeled "NOW WATCh, Lancer..! SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BEFRIEND LIGHTNERS!" said King of Spades aiming spades at you, then Lancer hit King of Spades in the back with a spade and ran off "TRAITOR!" said King of Spades "who do you think you are?!" said Berdly "hehehe…hehehehe…to my people, I am a hero…but to you…" said King of Spades pulling a bladed chain from his stomach "I'm the bad guy! Hahahaha!" said King of Spades.
You and Seds try to reason with King
"Mr. King, this is a world where we don't have to fight, we can just talk it out" said Seds

"Listen, I don't see why we need to fight. Lancer is my friend, and we're saving the world by sealing the fountain. So, just let us pass" said Berdly

"Enough…is enough…" said King of Spades "I see..I see that I cannot defeat you…I have grown exhausted from our long battle." said King of Spades as his cape blew off "Lightners…I…perhaps…I've been too cruel. The truth is…I wasn't always this way. There was once a time…where Lightners and Darkners lived in harmony…a time where Darkners could fulfill their purpose in peace…it would be a lie to say that I, too…do not yearn for those days." said King of Spades exhausted "perhaps…perhaps you young ones are right. Please let us put away our weapons." said King of Spades as you guys relax and put away your weapons "I'm glad you see the error of your ways, Mr. King, none of us really wanted to fight. If you can just tell us about your worries, I'm sure we can all be friends, Mr. King!" said Seds y-yes…'friends'...that sounds lovely…*cough* *cough* apologies…I'm not used to…fighting like that…my body is…" said King of Spades "oh, don't say another word!" said Seds, walking up and healing King of Spades "how do you feel?" said Seds "let's see…" said King of Spades, and then rammed a wall of spades through everyone "never better…" said King of Spades "you…" said Berdly before King of Spades aimed spades at Berdly again "did I say you could stand?!" said King of Spades before you jumped in the way "grrr…" said King of Spades ramming Berdly through spades, knocking him away and using one to knock you down "you're the leader, correct?" said King of Spades to Berdly "n…no…" said Berdly "hmph. Well, then, you'll be my appetizer, before I destroy the other one. What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Go on, cry for your angel to save you!" said King of Spades "what are you talking about?" said Berdly "it doesn't matter…it's time for some real carnage!" said King of Spades, aiming more spades at Berdly, before something cold hit his back "stay…away…from…my….friend!" yo-Noelle said casting an ice spell, causing King of Spades to drop Berdly "or else what? YOU'LL KILL ME? Do it, you hypocrite!" said King of Spades "hey…what's that…sound?" said Berdly before the entire army appeared to pick up King of Spades "L-Lancer?! E-everyone?!" said King of Spades "what is the meaning of this?!" "sorry, dad! You're being overthrown! When I told everyone you were fighting the Lightners, everyone remembered how kind they were! They decided they'd rather have a king that accepts them! Me! Now I'm the dad!" said King Lancer "you idiots! The Lightners are your enemies! FOOLS! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!" said former King of Spades "yikes! I think someone needs a time-out! Go to your room, Dad!" said King Lancer "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" said former King of Spades being carried away "are you two alright?" said Seds "y-yeah…" said Berdly "Noelle, Berdly, I'm so sorry…if it aren't for me healing the king, we almost…" said Seds "hey, it's in the past, it's okay" said Berdly "you're right, Berdly" said Seds "I suppose it's time for you two to return home…" "yeah, I guess" said Berdly, as you two walked away "hey, wait…I just wanted to say…" said Seds putting her face into her hat "uhh…could you move your hat? I can't hear you" said Berdly "oh…right…" said Seds revealing a deer girl similar to you, but with short black hair, freckles, and a tiny crown "I'm really I met you both" said Seds "uhhh…you're welcome…" said Berdly "Noelle, let's go" said Berdly as the two of you walked to the fountain. "Is…this the fountain…? I'm not sure but…I feel like we wandered into something very important…well, there's no time to think about that now…it's time to go home, Noelle" said Berdly, it felt so if your very SOUL was glowing…Then, with your SOUL glowing, the fountain was sealed…
"Huh?! What happened?! I can't see?!" said Berdly, stumbling through the darkness and hitting a lightswitch, revealing…an unused classroom, with toys, cards, checker pieces scattered all over the floor "an…unused classroom?" said Berdly "Noelle, you don't think…" said Berdly, before a sound started buzzing from his phone "ah! My shift at the library!" said Berdly "I gotta go!" said Berdly running out of the classroom. "Hmmm…it's pretty late." said Berdly "Noelle…" said Berdly "let's go back there tomorrow, okay?" said Berdly walking off, and you leave the school, you head straight for the hospital "hey, there you are, sweetie!" said your father "where were you? you're an hour late to your usually visits, not to stress you out" said your dad.
!dark world
hanging out with Berdly
"Dark world? Have you been hanging out with that Catti again? Well, did you bring the game system?" said your dad, you pull it out and play Dragon Blazers III with your dad for hours. "That was fun, but I think you should get home" said your dad, soyou leave and talk to a police officer "HEY, PUNK, STAY OFF THE ROAD! Wait, it's you, the antlered girl, how's it going? Do you have anything to report?" said Officer Undyne.

"Okay, see ya. I hope you're doing okay" said Officer Undyne, as you walked away, to the gates, but then you realize…you don't have your keys! Better find someone who's willing to let you stay the night. You find a skeleton in a hoodie next to a shop "hey, look who's walking around. how are ya doing, kid?" said the skeleton.
!great to see you again

"yeah, it's real nice, isn't it? especially since I haven't met you before. The name's sans. sans the skeleton. i'm new in town. what's up?" said Sans

Later. "Noelle is staying over." said Catti as you and her arrived at her house "Noelle! Like, what's up?! you're staying the night?! Like, awesome!" said Catty. Later. "...I set up a futon for you." said Catti.
Will you go to sleep? This will end the chapter.
!yes
no
You go to bed…
In the middle of the night. You start twitching before flinging yourself out of bed, then…you-you-you-you-you-you-you-yo-Noelle rips out a heart shaped object, and throws it into a sock drawer, and then she walks off…
When the light is running low…
And the shadows start to grow…
And the places that you know…
Seem like fantasy…
There's a light inside your soul…
That's still shining in the cold…
With the truth, the promise in our hearts…
Don't forget.
I'm with you in the dark…
To be continued…chapter 2!
