Ch. 7: A Strange Friendship

Toriel's School/The Human-Monster Union School

Eclipse was thinking, he had to get a partner, & his partner just so happen to be the school bully, Susie, as he thought about the situation, he briefly smiled to himself, Susie was tough. But he had a plan to deal with lot of her aggression, as he smiled to himself, he & Susie sat down in their respective seat, as Eclipse begun to think, his mind contemplating what to do, as the teacher call, "Eclipse, (hm?) can you please grab some more chalk, the one we had is missing? (Yeah.)"

As he walked out of the classroom, he was met with Susie, who chomped down on the mysterious missing chalk, as Eclipse blinked Susie noticed him, before she growled, "What? You think I'm a chalk eater, your gonna blab to the teach about this?!"

Eclipse stood his ground, (much to Susie's impression, but she wasn't gonna show it), retorting, "No, I can't really judge you on your actions, I'm not the most innocent either, but you aren't gonna bully me like the others... I may be on the monsters side, but I'm not gonna let you pick on me..." as his eyes changed red, as the duo glared at each other, Eclipse sighed, "Let's just have a truce?" As he raised his hand in a shake.

Susie slapped the hand away, as she shoved Eclipse's back into the lockers, she retorted, "Alright wise guy, YOU are doing the work, there isn't any truce at all, I am not joking, tell anyone about me eating chalk, I rip you head off, understood? (Nope! You stay by my side with the project at least...) Fine, but dojn't expect me to help." As she brought him back, she slammed his back into the locker, as the air left him momentarily, as Eclipse smirked, "I've got the perfect place for us to work, or rather to burn off anger..."

As Eclipse led Susie to a room back when this place was abandoned, he walked into the door, as he triggered a spell that would do something, as Susie growled, "I'm not wanting any of this..."

Eclipse hummed, "Welp... too late..." as Susie saw the school dark, as it became nearly destroyed & abandoned, as the ground fractured under them, Eclipse gawked, "Uh oh...?" As the ground shattered, sending Susie & Eclipse falling.

Eclipse sighed, as he wiped off the chalk dust, as he recalled the story made for the darkeners, as he proceeded regularly, blowing away white mist, as he blew away some in his way, Susie looked at him in shock, "Where are we?"

Eclipse answered, "The Dark World..."

Susie snapped at him, "No we aren't at this imaginary world, I'm not playing this game!"

Eclipse challenged, "Well, you try finding away out, the only way you'll be able to proceed & leave is to move forward!"

Susie sighed, "Fine I'll figure a way out..." that's when she went behind Eclipse now, "Now show me the way out... have you always had canine like looks.

Eclipse rolled his eyes, his clothes were there but some of it seemed like fur instead of human skin, his eyes were still switching between color, he also had spikes sticking out of the back palm of his hand, as he spoke, "Yeah, speaking I'm not technically human in the Light World, I have a different appearance in this one... let's proceed, shall we?"

Susie rolled her eyes, "Fine, lead the way..."

As Eclipse & Susie were met with a hoody figure, the figure in a fake male voice spoke, though it seem to work on the duo, "Halt Lighteners, if you wish to proceed, you must hear the tale of the Lighteners & Darkeners..."

Susie ended the chat, "No. (But, don't you want to know the story?) I don't care for this story, it's a boring enough, let's just go Eclipse."

Eclipse scratched the back of his head, "Ya' know there's something that may happen, sorry about th-!"

They were cut off when the hooded figure was practically run over by a strange guy on a bike, he had a lance shaped head & his eyes were covered by the shadow, he had blue & white as his main color, & he also had a blue tug sticking out of his mouth, as Eclipse, "who the HELL...?"

As Eclipse walked with Ralsei through the hill of hopes & dreams, they both blinked, Ralsei was at a lost for words, it was their creation, a duck head on a tank, as she mustered, "H-how...?" As the tank erupted in an explosion, as she jumped, Eclipse carrying her bridal style at this point, as Lancer & Susie laughed, Eclipse rolled his eyes, 'Here we go again..."

Ralsei slowly got out of his arms, questioning, "Why did you destroy it!?"

Susie laughed, "Because the looks for it sucked majorly!" As she & Lancer high-fived & went back to plotting.

Ralsei turned her back to them, ranting to Ecipse, as he payed attention, "How could they build it, how DID they even let find the stuff for the tank!? How!?" Eclipse noticed Susie & Lancer, "How did they do it in the little time they had!? (Um, Ralsei...?) I mean it should take a lot more time just to find a dusk head alone!? (Ralsei~...) What is it Eclipse?"

All Eclipse did was point at behind the Darkener, as she gawked, "They made a second one!?" This one exploded, the same scenario apparent, Ralsei asked, more shocked by the second one made, "How did you even make a second one!?"

Lancer shrugged, "We made it."

Susie laughed, "While you weren't looking, we made a second one, in fact..." as she & Lancer moved out of the view, revealing eight others, as Ralsei merely rolled her eye, each one blowing up, "Where do they keep finding them?"

Eclipse chuckled, "It's still funny seeing them work together destroyin' stuff."

Ralsei groaned, "Not you too..."

Eclipse merely laughed, noting the slightest difference in Susie's actions.

Eclipse was in jail...

He had never been in jail before, it was crazy. As he sighed, he felt slightly claustrophobic. As he was slowly breaking mentally, as Susie yelled, "There's a puzzle here!" Before she replied, "You know, how about we wait for Lancer to come let us out?"

Ralsei reply, "Susie just because you don't know how to do puzzles doesn't mean you can't give up."

Susie snarled, "I know how to do puzzles... but... if you happen to know how to do it, share with me if you want..." as she looked away embarrassed.

Ralsei was about to ask, when Eclipse begun coughing, as she commented, "We haven't been in here for more than five minutes, are you seriously eating moss or something? Eclipse?" That's when she noticed none of the moss was touched, as Eclipse coughed more, as black liquid came out of his mouth, it resembled blood, but was pitch black, as he vomited more of the substance, Ralsei cried out, "Eclipse!?"

Susie panicked, "What's going on, what's happening to Eclipse, Ralsei? Ralsei!?"

Eclipse stopped vomiting, as he finally caught his breath, as he shakily stood up, "I-I'm fine, just a little nervous about being in an enclosed area... Susie, you can here me right!? (Yeah!) what does the thing look like?"

Susie answered, "there are two rows of squares, the bottom half with white with nothing in it, while the top half is golden with a clover, heart & spade in that order!"

Eclipse blinked, before answering, "Alright, all ya' have to do is make the white boxes match the box above it, so clover, heart & spade in that exact order! Got it?"

She nodded, "Got it!"

Eclipse sighed, "Please... don't tell anyone about the black liquid, I don't want anyone to worry more than they have to... okay, Ralsei?"

Ralsei nodded, as Eclipse laughed, "You know, it's funny, Susie thinks you a guy..." Ralsei blinked, "How did you... (Your voice sounds more feminine.)"

Susie stopped in front of their cell, as she faced Lancer, Ralsei panicked as a fight was begun, before Eclipse covered her mouth, commenting, "No... Susie has her fights & moments, you just gotta trust her... for now anyway, she's a good person, but has moments when she needs to ACT, she will do it... just trust her & keep quiet this time..."

Eclipse saw as they both fought, he noticed Lancer tire out, before he begun becoming lax, his body slowly stopping without his permission, as Susie prepared to strike him with her electricity crackling axe, as she brought it down...

To hit the area next to Lancer, as he & Ralsei both gawked in shock, Eclipse merely nodded, looking away with a grin.

As Eclipse felt the hold of the darkeners, Ralsei was next to Lancer, begging the king of spades to release him & Susie, as the king hoisted, "Bring the purple Lightener forward, it's time to teach you both what happens to darkeners when they befriend a lightener..."

Eclipse's eyes shot up, as Susie was dragged over to in front of the king, as he begun his weapon to strike, as he prepared to hit her, Eclipse's heart glowed, as he broke free, lunging forward, as Susie accepted her fate, as he shoved Susie out of the way, as he took the hit at full force, as his HP dropped to one, as he breathed, blood trickling down in his forehead & over his right eye, as his eyes became ruby red with his right eye's sclera became solid black, as his soul became visible, half of it was white (left half) while the other (right half) was black, as he gave a defiant smile, as he pointed a newly formed scythe at the king of spades, as he laughed, his voice sounding like two different people (one insane, the other was calm), "To day is the end of your ruling, I WILL overthrow you no matter what!"

Susie stood by Eclipse as she cut a line across her neck, her toothy grin becoming wider, "I agree... we're gonna rip you apart!" As they clanked their blades together, the prepared to strike, the last fight for their lives is about to begin.

As Eclipse & Susie gave a high-five to each other, Ralsei ran to the duo aLancer followed soon after, as Eclipse yelled, "Yeah! It felt like a good moment back there!" Soon after he gave yawn, as Ralsei chirped, "You guys did amazing! Your combination was astounding!"

Eclipse nodded, his magic energy both spent & fading away, as he commented, "I can see why your father was fearsome, that man could take hits & dish back with just as vicious force..." as he stood up, before he collapsed, his black sclera shifting to a regular one, but his eyes became a ruby star crystal color, as he struggled back up., Susie asked, "What's wrong?"

Eclipse answered weakly, "Just drained, but I'll be fine, just need to not use my magic anytime soon..."

Susie nodded, "Alright well, let's go." As she dragged Eclipse away, as they were distant from their friends, Eclipse paused, "Wait... (What's wrong? Let's say goodbye to everyone we know first before we return to the Light World..."

Susie said, "That's fine, if you want to that is!"

Eclipse & Susie stood in front of the biggest of the jail cells, as he unlocked the door, Eclipse explained, "Me & an old friend of mine used to play with the guys before he was locked up, we were close, a team like you me Ralsei & Lancer, though we were a team of three, it was fun, Jevil was so unbearably strong, you'd be shocked, our team has been strong, his power differed from our bein' a Darkener, he used all types of Darkener magic, heck, he had a thing for scythes like your's truly. Now he's free..."

As Eclipse opened it, he called, "Jevil!?" You in here...""

They heard laughed, as a strange person in a fool's outfit popped in existence, as he laughed, "Phase! It's great to see you once more! Hahahah!" As he practically spun around Eclipse, Eclipse chuckled, "Still insanely hyper as always... huh?"

Jevil complained, "I've been locked in a cell for what felt like ages, can you & your friend entertain me? I've had nothing to do but talk to that munchkin-Lancer for ages?"

Eclipse answered, "No killing... (But that take the fun out of it, but... oh well!) Susie you ready to entertain this fool?"

Susie gawked, "What!? (Oh don't worry he won't kill us, he's controlled of his power...) fine, but we can't stay long!"

Eclipse laughed, "Don't worry..." as he popped his neck & knuckles, he spoke, "This will only take about 10 minutes..."

As Eclipse sighed, they were about to leave the dark world, him triggering the magic gateway there, as he heard Ralsei call, "Susie, Eclipse... are you going to leave now..." as she walked forward, she continued, her hat muffling her voice, "I just wanted to say... I... I... really enjoyed meeting you two and..."

Susie called, irritated, "Hey, can you STOP mumbling into your hat for a sec? Can barely hear ya' dude."

Ralsei stuttered, "O-oh, I'm sorry!" As she took her hat off, revealing her gender to Susie as Eclipse noticed her jump. Ralsei continued, smiling at them, "Um... Eclipse, Susie... I... I hope I can see you again soon. Next time I'll make you lots of yummy cakes, alright?"

Susie was at lost of words, "?" Eclipse elbowed her lightly, as she started talking, still lost, "Umm, yeah! Sure, dude, haha!" As she turned, she said, "Let's go, Eclipse!"

As they went out of earshot, Eclipse commented, "You seriously thought she was a he?! (SHUT UP!)"

As Eclipse walked out of the building, he commented, "Not really used to the light now..." he looked back as a familiar Susie, who seemed to be pondering, "Susie? You broken...?"

Susie was snapped from her thoughts as she stared at Eclipse, she commented, "Let's go back there tomorrow... Friends?"

Eclipse blinked before he grinned, shaking her hand, "Friends." As they went their separated ways, Eclipse commented to himself, as Gaster's lab came to view, "I wonder what you would think about Susie... Kris...? I'll tell Jevil what happened in the future, for now... I hope we'll meet again, where ever that place is..." as he opened the door & closed it.

AN:

Ralsei is a girl! It is confirmed, hell, Treesicle did an episode on the whole situation!

Outside of that, I wanted to do this for a while, your entitled to your own opinions, but I like to think it possible for certain characters to exist in one universe as they do in another. Dark World in this AU is real in MY version of events, I like making different logics & existences. I'd like to hear your comments about it as well.

Let the Light shine forever more... Ciao!
