"So G enlisted you too, Anthony?"
"..."
"Huh. Small world."
"..."
"What, you don't remember me? I know it's been a few years, and uh... Clearly stuff has changed a lot for you in that time, but..."
"..."
"Yeeesh... C'mon man, it's me! M_y_n_a_m_e_i_s_._._._"
Crimson eyes snapped open.
Snow white fingers wrapped around that crowbar.
Sharp, blood stained teeth grit.
Chapter 5: Collision Course
"Been a long day, huh?"
It pinched a little, Anarchy concluded, coughing blood through his gritting teeth.
The crimson pouring from his body stained the hopeful gold flowers he'd landed on, blotting out their brightness with a depraved, deep red.
Growling and snarling, Anarchy's eyes were wide, pupils shrunk and trembling, fangs grounding together in that enraged grin that split his face, a bloody froth forming at the corners of his mouth as he slowly lifted his head, those furious eyes locking in on the dripping red, sapphire spear of magic that was embedded in his abdomen.
*Live.
With one shaking and twitching hand, Anarchy began to reach up.
*You have to live.
Those crimson eyes twitched and shook with agony as his pale fingers wrapped around that spear.
*Forward.
Snarling, Anarchy's hand clenched, that spear shattering in two from the force of his grip, the magic dissipating into thin air and freeing Anarchy, revealing the gaping hole in his mid section.
*Vengeance.
Anarchy's hand continued to reach up after destroying the spear. His body felt cold, going numb. His vision began going dark.
*You must have vengeance.
A glowing, golden light in the darkness.
*You are an agent of destruction.
Anarchy's hand reached out. Weak, dying. It was so close and yet so far away.
*Rage.
Slowly, his hand reached that warm, golden light.
*Rage and pillage and kill and destroy, my precious child...
As his hand slowly closed around that light, he could almost see her. Reaching out to embrace him with both arms, her bangs shadowing her eyes, wearing such a loving smile.
*Go forth, my sweet, sweet Anthony...
Light returned to the world. He was warm once more, healed by his mother's LOVE, hand still pressed against that save point.
His eyes were wide, mouth hanging open, as if shocked into awe by some unseen beauty. A single tear dropped from his eye, sliding down his face a leaving a steam of water cupping his pale cheek.
*Go forth, and let even the Angels in Heaven know your wrath.
"Uuhh... Magic insertion..?" My eyes slowly scrolled over to Sans, a distinct concern in my eyes.
"Listen up kiddo 'cause I'm gonna be frank and I don't like repeatin' myself." Sans turned to face me. "So as you can imagine, I ain't the biggest fan'a this RESET thing."
I nodded along slowly, thinking it would be better to just let him talk.
"To be blunt, you suck." Sans shrugged, jolting my expression into a frown and narrowed eyes. "Not tryin' to be mean, just statin' the facts."
"That kid is stronger, faster, more agile, and just over all way better than you." With each point Frisk had on me, Sans slapped the back of one skeletal hand into the palm of his other. "The only thing you've got on 'em is a couple inches."
"Anyone ever tell you that you give a great pep talk?" I asked sarcastically, tilting my head to the side.
"Heh. You're funny." Grinning, Sans' looked to the side.
"So I've been told." I rolled my eyes, before looking back to the short skeleton before me. "What's your point?"
"My point is that even though currently you have a Snowdrake's chance in Hotland of beating that lunatic, you're the only one of us who can persist death like they can, and you're the only one they can't predict. Which means you're our best bet."
"Well when your best bet still sucks, I think it's time to fold." I frowned a little deeper, shrugging.
"Did a DETERMINATION kid just mention giving up?" Sans tilted his head to the side. "'Fraid that attitude won't get you anywhere."
"Well what do you expect me to do?!" I threw my hands into the air. "I can't fight that little asshole! They've kicked my ass every time we've fought! I've never got one good hit in!"
"Ah ah," Sans lifted one hand, waggling a finger and winking an eyes shut. "You and me both know that ain't true."
Suddenly, his visible pupil disappeared, and he put a hand over his left eye, reminding me of the last person I'd seen pull that face with a hand over their eye.
"Right?"
My jaw clenched, my eyes narrowing.
"When you get mad, you get impulsive." Sans pulled his hand away from his eye, his little white dot pupils reappearing. "Your emotions can drag you into doing crazy stuff, like gouging out someone's eye or taking one of those ballet slashes to the chest."
"Isn't that a bad thing..?" My expression softened with confusion.
"You'd think so, but no." Sans turned back towards that machine, grinning over his shoulder at me. "It means you've got the killer instinct. And with you being emotional, it'll give you a better connection to your magic."
"My magic..?" I cocked a brow, expression growing even more confused. "What magic?"
"Do me a favor and stand right there, okay?" Sans pointed to a small platform directly in front of the machine, which I looked at, before shaking my head and looking back to him.
"What? No, asshole!" I followed after Sans as he walked towards a lever next to the screen reading MAGIC INSERTION MACHINE. "Tell me what's going on! What are you planning?"
"..." Sans sighed, running one skeletal hand down his skeletal face.
"... Alright, look." He turned to face me. Though his grin was permanent, somehow his tone gave the air of a frown.
"This machine?" Sans gestured up towards the machine looming over us. "I've been busy re-engineering it for a new purpose."
"Which is?" I tilted my head to the side, crossing my arms.
"Taking the magic that other machine over there extracts from Monster dust and putting it in you." Sans leaned back against the wall behind him, pointing to me.
"Into me..?" I repeated, unconsciously placing a hand over my chest, lightly gripping my black, red striped shirt.
"I've run some numbers. Having a cylinder full like you see on top of the machine put into you should give you some form of magic." Sans rolled his hand as he explained. "And with the amount of dust the kid has so graciously gifted us with, we have enough for about three canisters full of magic right now. Once they're through Hotland, we'll have a forth."
"Is that a lot? Is that a little?" I asked, cocking a brow.
"For a human? Oh, it's a lot." Sans tilted his head back with a nod. "Should give you some crazy magical potential. Problem is, I don't know how volatile it could be and I'm not sure how your body and soul will handle it."
"..." I nodded slowly, before looking up to that machine again.
"We need time. And unfortunately, that's the one thing we don't have." Sans pupils disappeared, his hands clenching into fists. "Little freak has already made their way into Hotland."
"What?!" I exclaimed. "They're already past Undyne?!"
"They've fought her a hundred times." Sans shook his head. "And they've always won in the end."
"Look, kid, I know this is a lot." Sans stepped forward, placing a hand on my shoulder. "I know you dropped here suddenly from wherever for whatever reason, and now you're suddenly in this situation where you either have to save this timeline or die with it."
"But, the truth is," Sans shrugged slowly. "Sometimes life is chaos. And you just gotta do what you gotta do. So, make your choice. Be trapped here in this loop with the rest of us, or get on the platform and give us all somethin' to hope for."
Sans stepped back away from me, grinning and winking an eye shut.
"Your choice, bucko."
"..." I looked down at my open hand, which I slowly clenched into a fist.
*Now's your chance. Get ahead.
"... Alright, Sans." I nodded solemnly, turning around and walking back to that platform.
I looked to the platform, before looking back at Sans, who gave me a reassuring thumbs up.
"... You better not screw me, skellyman." My eyes narrowed, and I stepped onto the platform, turning to face the machine that loomed right in front of me.
"Not that kinda fanfiction, kiddo." Sans grinned, reaching up and wrapping his fingers around that lever at his side.
"Wait what-"
"Good luck!"
Sans pulled his hand down, and the humming of that machine grew quickly to a roar as the eyes of it lit up in white, and that cylinder of magic began to drain as the machine's mouth lit up in the same white energy.
"U-uuhh..." I gulped up at the machine, feeling cold sweat forming on my face. "Is it... T-too late to change my mind..?"
*Yes.
In the next instant, a beam of white blasted from the machine's maw, and I could barely get up my arms and let out an admittedly shrill scream of surprise as the light washed over me.
I felt it tear through me, pierce right into my soul and strip away my body.
And yet... It did not hurt. It did not burn, it did not sting.
It just... Felt.
Anarchy sat up, shaking his head and reaching up, wiping the tear from his cheek and looking himself over.
As per usual, the save point had healed everything from the stains in his shirt to the hole in his abdomen.
"H-... How..?"
He looked up, cocking a brow in confusion before he spotted the source of the voice.
And he smiled.
"How did you just... Suddenly heal..?" Undyne held her bleeding side, leaned against the wall in front of her. The water gently flowing over her lower body carried flakes of dust away from her weak and dying form. "What... What are you..?"
Anarchy just continued to smile a warm, genuine, loving smile as he climbed to his feet.
"I am Anarchy." Anarchy tilted his head to the side, Undyne's eye widening from it's winced position in horror.
And then?
Anarchy turned, and began walking away.
"H-hey..." Undyne attempted to push to her feet, but pain shot through her flaking body, making her fall back down. "W-where... Where do you think you're going..?!"
Anarchy didn't stop. He didn't turn around. He didn't so much as look over his shoulder.
"We're not done here..! Come back!" Undyne snarled, tears building in her eye as she attempted to push herself up once again, before crying out in pain, falling back and grabbing her bleeding side, blood soaking through her wet hands.
"D-damn it..!" Her voice broke as she slammed her fist down into the water, causing a pathetically childish splash instead of the intimidating crash her fist's usually brought. "Come back here you coward!"
Anarchy's footsteps were getting further and further away.
"It can't..! I-it can't..!" Tears of indignation streaming down her cheek as her voice cracked, Undyne put one hand on the wall behind her, gnashing her teeth together from the pain it brought her to climb to her feet.
"I refuse..!" Undyne looked to her hand, watching as it flaked away into dust. Slowly, the dusting seemed to slow down, and her skin almost looked like it was beginning to glow. "I refuse!"
Anarchy stopped then, hearing the splash of water as Undyne stumbled forward.
He looked over his shoulder, narrowing one cold eye at the knight as she snarled, eye widening as the white and the iris in it turned to black, her pupils turning to a glowing white as she ground her teeth together.
She pulled back one hand, a glow beginning to shine from her body as a spear of blue magic swirled to life in her open palm.
Undyne roared, turning her body and whipping that spear forward at lightning speed.
"IT WON'T END LIKE THIS!"
Anarchy's crimson eyes widened in shock as he turned around to face her, that pure white glow illuminated the dark. The shadows that usually writhed around him were wiped away, obliterated by The Heroine's light as that spear raced forward.
Jaw clenching, Anarchy tilted his head to the side, everything seeming to slow down as his eyes followed the spear going by his head, a red cut appearing on his cheek and a few strands of his snow white hair falling to the ground as it launched by.
As Anarchy's eyes slowly looked forward again, his jaw began to drop in shock as he found Undyne, looking significantly more intimidating than she had a moment ago, mere inches from him, yanking back her clenched fist.
"CATCH THIS ONE WITH YOUR TEETH, ASSHOLE!"
Everything sped back up as The Undying slammed her fist into Anarchy's face, his nose shattering on impact before she planted her feet, shifting her weight and blasting the punch downward, sending Anarchy exploding to the ground as she planted him in the earth with her punch.
Anarchy blasted into the ground with enough force to throw the water away from the two, forming a large shifting circle of waves around them, a shock wave of force blasting up through the air above them and the ground under them cracking and exploding out in a crater around the two.
*The heroine has appeared.
*Make an example.
The rush of white light stopped abruptly.
Blinking with confusion, I turned my head from side to side, looking over the blackness that I stood in. Shimmering sheets floated randomly throughout the darkness, flickering with familiar scenes and familiar people.
"Eugh..." I clenched my eyes shut, turning my head away from the screens and shaking my head, beginning to walk forward.
*Does nostalgia hurt you?
"..." I rubbed my shoulder, looking away from my text box. "... It's a new life. Those things hold no bearing now."
*Sure.
Just then, and I'm not sure from where, a Froggit hopped out in front of me, looking up at me blankly.
"Oh, hey there lil' guy." I knelt down, smiling in a friendly way to the small monster. "You wouldn't happen to know the way out of here, would you?"
"Ribbit." Froggit responded simply, before turning, hopping forward.
I shrugged, walking after the frog, following it through the void of memories.
I chose to keep my eyes on Froggit, not daring to look up, not daring to listen to those passing conversations.
Eventually I zoned out. I don't know how long I walked, both literally and metaphorically lost in my thoughts, before I was shaken back to reality by large, fluffy hands reaching down and picking the Froggit up.
I blinked, stopping my walking before looking up, scanning over the tall goat woman that stood before me, petting that Froggit and smiling kindly.
"It is good to meet you at last, my child." Toriel tilted her head to the side, her sweet smile widening.
"Uh..." I swallowed, still jarred by seeing what I once only knew as sprites stand alive before me. "Yeah, it's uh... Good to meet you too."
"I know of the weight that's been placed on your shoulders, and I must apologize." Toriel set down the Froggit, before stepping forward, closer to me.
"If it had not been for my weakness, that horrible child would not have been released upon the Underground, and it would not be up to a stranger from another world to save Monster Kind." Toriel frowned, her eyes drifting down for a moment, before she looked back to me, putting a hand on my shoulder and smiling sadly.
"I feel that it is the least I can do..." Toriel held up one hand in front of me, her smile widening into that happy, reassuring state once more. As she spoke, a fireball formed in her palm, her body almost seeming to begin to swirl, shimmering and being sucked into that fireball. "To gift you with this."
I watched with wide eyes as Toriel disappeared, mouth hanging slightly open. Gradually, my focus shifted from her disappearing smile to the fireball of a pure, golden light that she disappeared into.
Slowly, I reached out to the floating orb of flame. It did not give off much heat, just a soothing warmth. I cupped my hands under the fire, it's light reflecting in my emerald eyes before it began to shift.
The shimmering light of the fireball changed, becoming more of a watery, inky black substance. The black liquid swirled elegantly, keeping the shape of the fireball but now made from swirling ink.
*You made it your own.
My eyes snapped open.
I laid on the floor of the lab, arms out to my sides, staring with wide eyes up at the ceiling.
On the ground around me, ink had splattered. And though I couldn't see it, if one were to look from above, the stains almost resembled wings, jutting out from my back.
"Oh good, you're awake!" Monster Kid entered my line of vision, smiling down at me as I sat up.
"I thought Mister Sans had killed you for a second there, haha." He joked as he knelt at my side, and I smiled over at him somewhat tiredly, before pulling up my hand, looking to it curiously.
I would say that I focused, but... I didn't. It was as simple as breathing in or breathing out, and that pitch black ink was gently swirling up from the sleeve of my blue, red striped hoodie, wrapping up my forearm, to my wrist, to my hand, where it formed a pleasant pattern in my palm.
"Whoa..!" Monster Kid's eyes lit up as he looked over my shoulder, before grinning over to me. "You just got magic, and you've already got that kind of control over it?!"
"It doesn't... Feel like I just got it, is all." I shrugged slowly, the ink sliding back up my sleeve and disappearing somewhere in there. "It's... Like I've had it my whole life."
"Or, maybe the people who I got it from explained it to me..?" I stood slowly, rubbing my head. "It's all... A little fuzzy."
"Well either way, you knowin' how to use it makes this way easier than you can even comprehend." Sans added, catching my attention. "And ink summoning and control... That ain't bad magic. Not bad magic at all."
"..." I smiled lightly, looking down at my hand. Somehow, I felt a little more hopeful. "... Yeah. Not bad."
"Uh... How long was I out for?" I looked up at Sans, who shrugged.
"'Bout an hour." Grinning, he winked an eyes shut. "Don't worry though, it's like three in the morning. The little nutcase has curled up to sleep somewhere. I suggest you two do the same."
"What are you gonna do?" I asked, arching a brow at Sans.
"Somebody's gotta prepare the next cylinders." Sans pointed over his shoulder to the machine behind him. I could now see that there were less canisters of of dust, and that the cylinder of magic looked about three quarters full.
"Now go on, shoo scram." Sans waved us away somewhat playfully and somewhat seriously, Monster Kid and I walking towards the exit. "I gotta get two more cylinders done and then get back to collecting dust."
As water poured back in and over Anarchy's face, Undyne grinned, wrapping her hand around his face to keep his head under the water, watching as Anarchy wrapped his hands around her forearm, digging his overgrown finger nails into her armor to no avail.
Before Undyne had time to react, however, Anarchy brought up one leg, planting his foot in her abdomen before kicking back, force bursting through Undyne's body and launching her back through the air, Anarchy immediately jumping up to his feet and gasping for breath. He grabbed his chest with one hand, leaning down and picking his crowbar from the water with his other. Blood streamed down his face from his nostrils, his nose bent the wrong way.
A New Dawn by Teminite began playing.
Undyne landed on her feet, skidding back and holding out one hand to the side as she did so, blue energy manifesting into a spear in her hand, which she pointed out at Anarchy, glaring deep into his tainted soul, expression twisting with contempt.
Anarchy just grinned that wicked grin of his, taking a step forward and pointing that crowbar out at Undyne, wicked crimson eyes staring hungrily into her heroic heart, expression twisting with manic glee.
And for just a moment, all was quiet.
...
Suddenly, Undyne yanked that spear back, taking one step forward and whipping it forward, sending it exploding through the air at Anarchy, who slouched forward, bursting off towards Undyne, arms dangling at his sides as his laughter bubbled violently from his throat and he yanked up that crowbar, smashing that spear to pieces, sending shards of blue flying through the air around him, his eyes and grin widening joyfully.
The water under him was suddenly alight with blue flashes, and he front flipped, spears jutting from the ground under him as he flipped down, swinging viciously down at Undyne with that crowbar, only for her to jump back, skidding before bending at the knees, jumping again and launching herself high into the air above Anarchy, who was quick to look up at her with eyes wide in curiosity.
Snarling, Undyne pulled back one hand, another spear appearing in her grasp. That blue energy lit up the sky behind her, spear after spear swirling into existence.
With a grunt, Undyne launched that spear in her hand down at Anarchy, sending it rocketing at lightning speed down from above, Only for Anarchy to once again bring up that crowbar, smashing the spear to shards.
Undyne smirked.
Anarchy's eyes suddenly darted down to his chest, widening with surprise to see that his soul was now green, and that he couldn't move, other than to pivot his body.
Without saying a word, Undyne pointed down to Anarchy, and the barrage of spears behind her fired down, raining down from Heaven towards the creature that lurked in the depths below.
That smile split Anarchy's face, his bloodshot eyes darting rapidly from spear to spear as they fired closer to him, and he held his crowbar out to the side.
In an instant, he threw his arm forward, smashing one spear from the sky before whipping it back, smashing another from his side, before spinning in a circle, shattering the spears spinning down around him.
Undyne continued to pull her hands back, spears forming before she threw them down and brought her hands back again, more spears forming only to be thrown down.
With each passing second, the barrage of spears grew more intense, and Anarchy swung his crowbar more quickly, his amused laughter growing over the shattering of the spears.
And as Anarchy smashed one last spear, his eyes darted down, watching his soul shift back to that burning red just before he jumped back. The moment after he did so, the water exploded up where he once was, raining down around Undyne as she landed, snarling and spinning a spear in her hands, pointing it out towards Anarchy before launching forward through the water that poured down.
Anarchy moved his head from side to side at a shocking speed, spear stabbing over his shoulder again and again before he ducked back under one stab, reaching back and placing both hands on the ground, kicking up at Undyne as he back flipped, knocking the spear right from her grasp, sending it spinning up into the air.
Anarchy landed crouched, darting forward with a wicked smile as he pulled back that crowbar, swinging viciously up at Undyne, who growled, stepping back, the crowbar swinging just in front of her face as she cocked back one fist, sending it ramming into Anarchy's cheek, pushing him to the side and making his feet skid through the water, before he brought back his own pale fist, swinging up and crashing his knuckles into Undyne's bottom jaw, making her tilt her head back from the uppercut.
As Undyne stumbled back, Anarchy jumped up into the air, bringing both knees up to his chest before swiftly kicking forward, Undyne bringing up her arms in an X over her chest just in time to block the kick, a shock wave exploding by her and sending the water behind her exploding up in a cone.
"NGAH!" Undyne threw her arms out to the sides, pushing Anarchy back through the air, the albino spinning back before landing on his feet, skidding back slightly before Undyne launched forward, cocking back one fist and slamming it into Anarchy's cheek, his red eyes widening as he was launched off his feet, being sent sailing through the air, blood flinging from his lip before he back flipped in air, landing on both feet and both hands, skidding back and snarling like a wild animal before launching forward.
Anarchy was under Undyne in mere seconds, that crowbar sliding back out from his sleeve as he swung up, Undyne's eye widening in agony as the cruel steel smashed into her bottom jaw, sending her exploding up through the air, Anarchy quick to bend at the knees, jumping up after her, the blood that flew from her mouth falling back down onto his face as he did so.
Anarchy grabbed Undyne by her ankle as the two ascended, pulling her back down to his level as she pulled back her hand, a spear manifesting as Anarchy rose that crowbar over his head.
Undyne stabbed forward, watching her spear rip through Anarchy's abdomen and tear out from his back, Anarchy's blood shot eyes widening and his grin faltering for a moment.
But as Undyne went to pull her spear back, Anarchy's hand wrapped around the crimson stained blue, and his grin returned with a vengeance, teeth now bloodstained as he swung down, cracking his crowbar down into Undyne's chest and sending her exploding back down through the air, smashing into the water and tearing across it, skidding across the ground before slamming back first into a wall, head snapping back from the force and smashing into the stone, cracking it.
Anarchy did not hesitate as he fell back towards the ground, grabbing the spear lodged in his abdomen and ripping it from his flesh, throwing it up, catching it, and whipping it down towards Undyne with one hand, the other placed over the gaping wound in his core.
Undyne was quick to look up, tilting her head to the side and letting the spear stab into the stone wall she was leaned against, embedding itself there.
Anarchy landed on his feet, hunched over before he stumbled, falling to one knee, coughing a glob of crimson into the water, tainting it red.
"Heh... Heh..!" Anarchy panted and frothed, grinning from ear to ear, blood dripping from between his teeth, his pupils shrunk and shaking.
"How many times am I gonna have to stab you before you stay dead?" Undyne spoke in a low growl, grabbing that spear lodged in the wall behind her as she climbed to her feet, spitting blood to the side, reaching up and wiping the stream of crimson that ran down her chin.
Anarchy responded with animalistic growls, and Undyne narrowed her eye, watching as streams of red began to rise from his body, swirling into the air like a toxic smoke. Anarchy's white hair almost seemed to be standing on end, and he gnashed his fang like.
*You can't die. Mayhem never ends.
With a roar, Anarchy threw his head back, and Undyne held one arm up to guard her face as a blood red aura exploded out around the albino, the shadows that slithered around him beginning to lift from their 2D state, writhing into the air.
*You can't let her hurt you. You're too strong for that.
That red mist seemed to be focusing as Anarchy screamed and roared, swirling into the gaping hole in Anarchy's solar plexus, which began to seal, flesh growing and reconnecting.
*Make her pay.
And Undyne watched in shock and confusion as Anarchy stopped writhing, that hole sealed, and his arms dropped down to his sides, that crowbar sliding back from his sleeve and into his hand.
In an instant, Anarchy's head snapped back down to look at her, and those wriggling tendrils of shadow stopped their wriggling, each standing on end, pointing right to Undyne.
That wicked smile slowly crept up Anarchy's expression, those soulless eyes only half open.
"Die."
Undyne jumped high into the air, those shadows crashing through the stone behind where she'd been standing, shattering the wall and sending cracks webbing through it and pebbles falling from the stone.
Undyne landed on separate ledges, darting further and further up the wall, those tendrils launching up after her, each crashing into the wall, just barely missing her.
Anarchy crouched down, and his own shadow exploded out from under him, launching him up on a pillar of darkness towards Undyne, who flipped, finally scaling the wall and landing on the plateau above, Anarchy riding into the air above her on his shadow, which then abruptly launched down at her.
Undyne jumped back, the darkness smashing into the earth where she once was as Anarchy darted from it, pulling back that crowbar and swinging at her skull, only for her to hold up one forearm, the crowbar smashing into her bracer and cracking it, Undyne's teeth gritting as she then reached out with that same arm, grabbing Anarchy's crowbar wielding arm by the wrist and holding him in place, cocking back her fist and cracking a punch across Anarchy's face, throwing his head back and sending blood splattering across the blue dirt of the plateau.
Head tilted back, Anarchy swiftly pulled himself forward, whipping his head forward and crashing his forehead into Undyne's, making her wince her eye shut, blood flinging from her nose as Anarchy's eyes widened gleefully, and he flicked his wrist, which was still locked in Undyne's grasp, throwing his crowbar up into the air. He reached up with his free hand, snatching the crowbar from the air and swinging down, hammering Undyne across the back of the head with it and throwing her face forward into the knee he swiftly drove upward, sending her launching back and off her feet, Anarchy quickly jumping up, pulling back both knees to his chest once more, and shotgunning a kick into Undyne's chest, sending her flipping and skidding back through the air and across the plateau.
Undyne seemed to catch herself as she launched back, back flipping and landing on her feet, skidding rapidly back as she pulled one arm behind her head, a spear of gold manifesting in her hand before she whipped it forward at Anarchy, who was already racing closer, pulling that crowbar to the side in preparation to smash the spear to pieces.
But just as he swung, the spear changed course, jumping over his head, his eyes widening in shock as he looked over his shoulder, watching the spear rip through his left shoulder, making him stumble forward and lose his footing, slouching forward with that shoulder.
As Anarchy lost concentration, he was rewarded with the searing pain of another spear burying itself in his right side, making him stumble back, crimson eyes and psychotic grin widening before another spear tore through his back and out his chest, making him stumble forward, vomiting up a splatter of blood, letting it pour onto the earth before quickly looking up, staring the spear launching towards his face down.
He quickly stepped forward, opening his jaws and crashing his teeth down on the spear's head, shattering it to pieces before throwing his head back and clenching his hands into fists, that red aura exploding out around him, the spears embedded in his body shattering to nothing from the force of his DETERMINATION, his screams and roars echoing throughout the Underground, his wounds quickly sealing.
Snarling, Undyne bent at the knees, spears appearing throughout the air around her as she launched forward, cocking back one fist.
Anarchy stomped one foot forward, his head snapping back down to look at Undyne as those shadows blasted out from around him again, Anarchy pushing off the ground and firing forward and Undyne, pulling back his own fist.
Spears and dark tendrils exploding into one another around them, the two reached each other, throwing their fists forward, their knuckles colliding and sending a shock wave blasting out around them, the earth shattering beneath their collision.
Anarchy side stepped another punch, cocking back his leg and swinging it at Undyne, who stepped back, watching as Anarchy spun through, jumping and pulling back both knees to his chest, once again going for that drop kick, only for Undyne to duck, Anarchy's legs soaring over her head.
She reached up, grabbing Anarchy by both legs and roaring, yanking him up above her head, spears jutting from the earth in front of her before she threw Anarchy down, power bombing him onto the points, which ripped through his flesh, tearing cuts in his legs and arms, one going through his shoulder.
Undyne panted, sweat beading down her forehead as she brought up both arms, spear forming in her grasp.
Her eyes suddenly widened, agony blasting through her body as she stumbled, knee giving out after a shadow stabbed through her kneecap, another firing through her opposite shoulder, making her body recoil back, sending her stumbling back.
Anarchy tore himself up from the spears in an instant, a red glow flashing in his eye as he grabbed Undyne by her chest plate, planting his feet and twisting his body, roaring as he whipped her body over his head and launched her through the air, flying over the ledge of the plateau and sending her plummeting down back towards the garbage dump.
Snarling, Anarchy launched forward, rapidly sprinting towards the edge and diving over it, grinding his teeth together, pupils shrinking in rage as he yanked back his left fist. Those shadows swirled up from the darkness the two plummeted into, wrapping around Anarchy's fist, clinging to him.
Letting out a battle cry for the whole world to hear, Anarchy grabbed Undyne by her chest plate as the two plummeted, looming over her and twisting his entire body, sending all of his weight crashing down with that fist.
A shock wave of black fired out around the two, a gust of wind blasting down through Undyne and smashing into the water below, sending the lake of trash water firing into the air around them, waves forming a prison around the two as they fell, Anarchy continuing to roar out his rage as he fired down through the air, Undyne smashing back first into the now dried out ground, making it explode into a deep crater under the two, cracks blasting out from around the crater through the earth.
The music faded out.
The only sound was the rain now pouring down around them from all the water that punch had thrown into the air.
Undyne stared silently with one wide eye up at the glimmering ceiling of Waterfall, her mouth hanging open slightly, blood streaming down from the corner of her mouth down her chin.
Anarchy panted, slowly climbing to his feet. His face was devoid of manic joy. Sweat beaded down his forehead, his chest heaving. His left arm hung limp, Undyne's blood splattered up his sleeve and dripping down to the ground.
"... You should have won." Anarchy eventually spoke, tilting his head back to stare up at the rain pouring down around the two.
Undyne didn't respond. It was hard to tell if she could even hear him, dust beginning to flake from her body.
"You had every right to. I'm the bad guy, after all." Frowning lightly, Anarchy stuffed his hands into his pockets, his thumbs poking out. "Bad guys shouldn't win."
Undyne didn't so much as blink. A weak stream of water began under them once more, carrying silver and crimson away from her body.
"You had things to live for, right? The world wanted you." Anarchy blinked coldly up at the sky, light very much lacking in those crimson eyes. "So then why did I win?"
"How could a good for nothing bastard like me be allowed to kill a hero like you?" He cocked a brow up at the sky. "Is the world really so cruel? What kind of God would let this happen?"
"... I guess there isn't any God out there, then." Anarchy shrugged casually, snow white hair now slicked back with the downpour falling over him, water rising higher.
"Or, if there is, they must be a lot like me, huh?" Smiling sadly, Anarchy looked down, where his eyebrows raised in surprise.
Undyne was gone. Nothing but silver streaming down the waterfall with the rest of the trash.
"... I guess none of it meant anything, huh?" Turning around, Anarchy began walking forward again. "I can't feel it, but..."
"I think that must be pretty sad."
