Chapter Eleven: Burgeoning Friendships, and Signs of Conflict
(Kris's POV)
Huh…I can hear music? Regular music not the soul songs…and it sounds like someone is bouncing on the floor.
Let's check it out…
I rolled right off of the couch, a small hesitant smile on my face. Kapro was still asleep, my friend's legs twitching as she had a dream.
"Up and at em…" I jumped up, forming an X shape with my arms and legs. The goat lady had brought me some pajamas for bedtime. A plain wrinkly black shirt and hot pink pants.
A weird combo but everything goes with black anyhow…
I followed the music coming through from the thin walls, and felt my spirits lifted by the waves of electric happiness coming from Brandon's SOUL.
His soul was neat…like an anxious electrical storm. Zinging with static humming, shifting constantly, but still steadfast and set in their ways.
His music was lovely, booming with the sound of lightning and the crackling of flames. But there was an undertone of cotton and clouds, an endless daydream blocking his focus.
Where was I?
Oh yeah…
I slowly twisted the knob to his room, staying as quiet as possible so he couldn't hear me.
He…was…tapping his feet against the floor…while humming?
Oh my gosh he's dancing!
He turned on his heels and I could barely make out music coming out from his really old phone. It sounded like…a musical or some kind…
"So be prepared for the ultimate tussle!" A voice that sounded eerily like the other skelly man…Papyrus blasted through.
It was a nice song…
A smile pulled at my lips and I decided to play…a little prank…
I ducked out of his sight, deftly avoiding his dance steps. He wasn't half bad either, if a little uncoordinated at times.
Under the bed we go…
With a giggle I slammed my hand against the wood, the booming knocking Brandon out of his reverie. He took out a headphone, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. I did it a second time and he jumped back nervously.
"The hell…?" He muttered under his hand as he approached me, and I slowly crept closer to the light, waiting for my chance. All he could see would be the glow of my eyes…
I braced my legs an—
POUNCED!
The moment he ducked and screamed like a girl. My body rushing just past his head. I knew I had made a horrible mistake…
CRASH!
I groaned, my body sliding down the wall of his room before slipping off entirely. I braced myself for a hard fall, but instead fell into a warm pair of arms.
"Ehh?" I blinked a few times, making sure that my vision was correct. I stared into the mildly concerned eyes of Brandon, the black haired boy placing me down with a nod.
"Why would you do that?" I shrunk back at his anger, and waited for the other shoe to drop.
…
…
Brandon crossed his arms, and I looked on with confusion.
Was he serious? I thought he'd…no…most people aren't like that…
"W-Well…I just wanted to prank you a little. Make you jump a bit…but as you can see it didn't end well." He didn't say a word, the gears in his head slowly turning. Eventually something else happened instead. His cheeks started to turn red, and he coughed.
"You…didn't see anything right?" He wasn't looking at me anymore, nervously shuffling his feet.
Oh…his dancing must be a private thing…
His cheeks darkened further and I pursed my lips once I realized he must have read my face.
"I'm sorry?" I wasn't sure whether or not it was right to apologize. None of them seemed to enjoy it when I did that. I didn't understand why…if I did something bad…I should be apologize and then be punished right?
That doesn't matter right now…
"It's…fine…just don't do that again. You could have hurt yourself…" There was a pause in his speech and I decided to ask him.
"What were you doing?" I asked him clearly and concisely, wanting to hear it from him.
He was flustered by the question but didn't back off. "Well…sometimes when I'm alone. I listen to music and…move I guess? It makes me happy…" he scratched his scraggly beard with a blush.
Too cute…
GRRRR…
I felt heat rush into my face at the sudden growl. Brandon didn't say a thing but pointed over to the general direction of the kitchen with an eyebrow raise.
Dang it…
"I think it's Sunday isn't it?" I gave Brandon a hesitant smile while he made me chorizo. Unsure whether he was asking me or asking himself…
"Uh probably?" I answered his question anyway. Because it's good to be polite. And he's a nice person anyhow.
"Ayyy?" I turned away from my apparent caretaker, to see a super tired Frisk coming out of her room. The older girl was rubbing her eyes while letting out a sleepy yawn.
Frisk was wearing a plain black shirt with checkered boxers that didn't bother to cover up her nice legs. And her shirt didn't hide her…
U-Um…never mind…
"H-Hey Frisk…I'm guessing the smell woke you up?" Our cook's voice cracked briefly, his eyes quickly darting back to his task.
"Yeah…smells nice…" Frisk stretched with a small smirk on her face, I tilted my head unsure of how to respond.
"Well…I thought it'd only be fair to some of the cooking around here…it doesn't feel right…you know?" He shrugged his shoulders, his eyes roving over Frisk's form before looking away with slight shame
Frisk only chuckled and with little warning, slid up to his side. I noticed the visible size difference, she was a literal head taller than the poor boy…
"Uh…could you take a seat? I'll be ready in a few more minutes…" Frisk pouted, but took her seat without a vocal complaint.
I narrowed my eyes as Frisk flashed me a friendly smile.
Her song was fascinating, sounding of ocean waves and summer storms. Songs of love and understanding. Bubbles and foam popping and rippling…but I could also hear the roaring stream of a patient river, steadily growing and eroding to form a canyon.
But her song occasionally faltered, a missing note here and there. A broken key, a high C where it shouldn't be…
She was sad…and ashamed…
"Hello again!" I waved and gave her a cute smile to put her at ease.
She beamed and waved back. "Morning sleepyhead…you're looking like you have a little something…" I passed my hands through my long hair, my face heating up once I noticed the fluffy down.
Kapro had shed on me…
"I-I…" Frisk smiled.
"You're too cute!" I flinched when her hand placed itself on my head. I started to relax when her hand started carefully gliding between my strands of hair. She easily and efficiently cleaned up as well as removed the snarls of hair.
"Thank you…" all the dirt and grime was thrown out and I felt a little better.
Frisk crossed her arms with a proud look on her face. "You're welcome! I'm used to taking care of kids back when I was…in the orphanage." She quieted down near the end and Brandon stopped cooking. Turning off the stove he looked over with a questioning expression.
"You've…never really talked about your time before your fall." He scraped off the chorizo, distributing it onto three plates. I couldn't really see much of what he was doing as he cleaned up…but I was curious.
"Y-Yes…it sounds…neat." I cringed once I noticed how that sounded. That I thought her past as an orphan would be entertaining.
"It's…not something I like going back to," she mumbled absentmindedly, and I flinched as her song came to a grinding screeching halt.
"You…don't have to…" Brandon backpedalled, appalled by her reaction. Frisk shook her head with a sad smile.
"It's fine…it'll probably be relieving to talk a bit about…before."
"If you want…" Frisk took a deep breath, and confidence and determination seemed to fill her SOUL.
"I grew up in an orphanage since I was little…it…wasn't the best. The…management barely does anything at all. At best it provides housing while at worst it treats its kids like shit. Calling them degenerates…freaks and unwanted children…"
I felt sick…remembering…him.
There was a tick on Brandon's face and I knew he was angry. But…not at the kids…at…the adults. It…was relieving in some way…that he was normal…
"I…" Frisk swallowed saliva, her clenched fists shaking. "I did my best to take care of the younger kids…got two part time jobs to help pay for food and clothes… because those bastards didn't want to pay for 'problem children" there was disgust in her voice. "I worked my ass off for years, the only reason I could get a highschool education was cus…of…" She stopped and gave Brandon an unreadable look.
He nodded and I felt like I was missing some important information.
"That sounds really illegal…or at least unethical." A bitter laugh escaped her throat and goosebumps.
"Unfortunately…Ebbot Town is a rather unique place. It's government is independent from the rest of Iceland so it can do whatever they want. Especially once the colonists consolidated in the new coastal cities."
"Oh." The older boy looked surprised and somewhat confused.
"Eventually once I was a legal adult, I got kicked out. They wouldn't even hire me on as a worker. I then spent some time drifting…before coming here…" a sour note followed as she skipped over a significant portion of the story.
She needed a hug.
I stepped out from my seat, barely ignoring the enticing scent of fresh food. I wrapped my arms around her body. Burying my head in her neck as I used a nearby stool to support myself.
She sniffed, shaking for a bit before retracting herself haphazardly. I just gave her a smile.
"You're a good kid." I flushed, twiddling my fingers at the sudden praise.
RING! RING! RING!
Frisk tilted her head, and retrieved her phone…from her pocket(?)
She answered quickly.
"SHIT SHIT! Chara found some of the alcoholic chocolate! Then she got to the beer! FUCKING SAVE ME!"
My ears rung at the sudden assault from Asriel's shout…
Frisk paled.
"AYYY AZZY! ANOTHER COOOLDDD ONE! This choccy biccy is FANFUCKINGTASTIC!" Chara screamed on the other end
"Holy shit she must be damn plastered." There was pure shock and awe in Brandon's speech, his face completely slack.
"That B–BURRRP! B-Brandon? Heyyy, how you doin you handsome little dag!"
I giggled at how he froze up at the uncharacteristic flirtation. It was well done…
"Chara step off yo—OWWW FUCK!" I winced at the shuffling and ruffling of clothes and feet. Probably a friendly scuffle…
"Don't get yourrr…knickers in a twist Azzzz… I'm just chatting up a cute bloke here!" I slowly started grabbed my fork, slowly driving food toward my mouth to eat. I couldn't listen to such a spectacle on an empty stomach.
"Uhh…okay then." Brandon shut up, taking a bite of his own dish to distract himself.
"Chara…please…no more alcohol…I'm not dealing with this shit again." Frisk sounded exasperated.
"Hallo Frisky! What's a pretty little Sheila like you wearing?"
I started choking on my food, and the flirted with lady covered her mouth with her hand. Her cheeks darkening and a smile pulling at her lips.
"For the love of god…just stop…"
There was a sudden crash from the speakers and I heard a terrifying shriek.
"Get that crazy drunk out of here Asriel! She's chugging down all of my precious spider cider!"
"Oh god Muffet I'm so sorry!" There was another crash, and drunken singing burst through.
"H-Having a good time, having a good time!" Brandon snorted, covering the sound with the back of his fist. An indignant roar was unleashed and Chara drunkenly yelped.
"Sorry doesn't cut it! She's going to pay!" A demonic voice wrapped its tendrils around our hearts and the line died. The adult lady in our group gulped and hid her phone away.
"I'm…gonna have to clean up Chara's mess. She usually only gets like this when she has really bad night terrors. Hang out here or go out if you want, I'm going to be busy." A wind rushed around us and she was gone…
A beat passe and he spoke up, brushing his hair back with a wobbly grin.
"Uh…maybe it would be nice to to get out for bit…after we eat of course."
"Where would we even go?" I asked. He tilted his head until a lightbulb practically lit up over his head.
"I know just the place…"
(My POV)
—Play Pathetic House—
"ohhh…hello…it's…been a while." Napstablook shyly greeted us from the confines of his lovely if somewhat unkempt home.
I had decided to check if it'd be alright to hang out with him. I feel like we could be good friends, being mutual music lovers and all. It helps that's he's…frankly adorable…but then again so are most of the monsters living here.
Not necessarily physically but by their actions and mannerisms.
"Hello." Kris stared at the ghost monster with an odd look, a pout on their face as they analyzed the ghost.
"ohhh…hello…another human fell? that's…kind…of neat." There was some discomfort but he took the effort to look and sound welcoming. He cleared his…ghost throat. "what's your name…?"
"Kris!" They answered with restrained energy, not wanting to startle Napstablook.
"Is it okay if I bring them along? Kris seems to like music too…so…Uhh…"
There was a millisecond long flash of a smile and Napstablook affirmed his consent. "i…don't…mind…they seem nice…" Kris puffed up their chest at the mild compliment, their eyes sparkling with youth(and magic)
"Uhh…So you want to hang outside or in your house? I'll agree to whatever you're most comfortable with." There was silence for the next one or two minutes, an itch growing as Napstablook focused.
The door silently opened. "inside is…more comfortable sorry…for the mess…and…my lack…of confidence…"
I grinned, showing off all of my teeth with no restraint. This would be a nice and relaxing hang out session with the friendly neighborhood ghost.
We closed the door behind us, and I looked around the cobweb littered room with an inquisitive eye. It looked the same as always, the only major differences being the third dimensional nature of the house.
I could see several excessively large CD players at our right and I walked toward them.
"ohhh…that's…some…of the music I've made…" Kris scanned the cd, curiously tapping at the play button. They accidentally pressed it and
Spookwave pressed against my senses and I shivered at the ambience it gave off.
"oh dang…the ambience…on this one is…intense…like…my whole body is being spooked…" there, a tiny glimmer of emotion and happiness buried deep down in his natural monotone.
My gaze lingered on Kris as they edged ever closer to the fridge…Napstablook was the first to say something
"you hungry? i…can…get something…for you…" Napstablook easily outpaced Kris's slow unsure movements, and I stared confusedly onward as the ghost monster pulled out a translucent sandwich.
"What's that?" Kris asked.
Napstablook gave them a small barely perceptible smile. "this…is a ghost sandwich…do you want to try it?" Kris nodded, reaching for the food item with hunger in their eyes. Their hands phased through the sandwich and it dropped to the ground. Spilling its delicious contents onto an unforgiving floor.
"…"
"…"
Kris's lips trembled and I rushed over, dropping a… regular sandwich(?) into their hands.
Where the hell did I—oh!
Right I remember now…last night I had made a sandwich and asked Frisk a question on my pocket dimension. Apparently food stored up in there will last forever…which is cool as shit. So I made a couple delicious wheaty delights and stored them up…then forgot about them.
"ohhh….oh nooo…i'm sorry…" Napstablook's form drooped and Kris shook their head.
"It's…okay…I…just…haven't had so many decent meals…in a long time…" the gust and I were taken aback, and worry worked its way underneath my skin.
That shouldn't be happening to a child.
Napstablook opened his mouth but was cut off by a sudden bang, and two voices shouting at each other.
"Dearie…please put t-the axe down! That's not a toy!"
Muffet?! The hell is she doing here? And who's she talking to?
"Shut up! I do what I want!" The second voice was younger and slightly feminine…didn't know who they were.
"Get back h—OHHH!"
"Oh sh—." There was a sudden rush of air and the sound of whistling steel and I pushed Kris away from the door.
A damn axe came flying in, and in my haste I formed a barrier. The shield was easily broken, but the axe had lost much of its momentum.
But it gave me the time I needed…
The axe came to a sudden stop as my magic took hold of it.
"Oh…oh…noo…" Blooks looked on in sadness, his door reduced to splinters of broken wood and twisted metal.
From where we were I could easily follow the trajectory of the weapon, my eyes widening as they made contact with several pairs of beady eyes.
"Ahh…hello there dearie…" Muffet waved, shifting nervously, her usual confidence wavering under our collective scrutiny. "I'm sorry for the disturbance." She waved her pairs of arms in front of her, her sharp teeth poking out.
She certainly was not the one to throw that axe… There was a sharp intake of air from Kris, and I looked to my right.
That's…unexpected…
The thrower of the axe was a…rather tall individual…though she didn't look particularly old. Maybe around…thirteen or so?
The culprit in question was a purple monster with a vaguely reptilian appearance, with freckles at the sides of her face, her long rounded snout in between. Her eyes were obscured by aubergine hair, though I could make out a yellow shine.
The young girl was wearing a long purple jacket, a white and blue shirt, with a pair of torn jeans and black shoes. The deep scowl on her face made me frown.
So would it be Susie or Suzy?
"What are you three looking at?" Her clawed hands were balled into tight fists, and I noticed the soft smile on Kris's face. It quickly faded, confusion soon replacing it.
Does Kris remember her…?
"I'll…find someone to fix your door…?" Muffet trailed off and our ghost friend sighed.
"Ohh…I'm Napstablook…but…you probably won't remember…" Muffet grimaced, and I decided to ambush her with questions.
"So Muffet exactly what are you doing here? Last I heard, it seemed like you were planning murder." Muffet blushed purple, her eyes darting rapidly between us.
"Asriel decided I needed to cool off…though he did let me trap Chara in my webs. Easier to deal with her in that state…" I could practically taste the pleasure that Muffet took in doing so. I pitied Chara for a moment.
"That's…something." Muffet to my shock suddenly lashed out, a web of purple magic trapping Susie as she tiptoed back.
"Hey…LET GO!" The young monster struggled in Muffet's magical hold.
The spider laughed long and hard. "Ahuhuhu! You're not getting away so easily you little troublemaker." There was an almost cruel tone in Muffet's voice. "I'm sorry but I'll have to take you away…"
The purple monster growled. "Like hell you will!" A magic attack resembling an axe sprayed against me. The spell fizzled out at the last moment and I wasn't impressed…
The older spider monster shook her head. "How disappointing, I was supposed to relax and now I have to deal with this young snack." She looked rather tired and irritated. Which made what came next as a surprise.
"I could take her!"
My head snapped back to Kris. The human child covering their mouth as the words exited them. Susie's expression was unreadable, though mild distrust did leak through.
"Pardon?" Muffet didn't entirely take to the idea. "I'm not sure that's a good idea…Suzy…Susie is rather volatile. I'm more suita—."
"It'll be okay…" Kris brought up their arguments quickly and efficiently. "I've got magic to defend myself see?" A powerful barrier came to life around the brown haired humans hands, along with traces of orange lightning around their fists. There was a sad smile on their face. "And…if I do get hurt…it isn't something I'm not used to…" I flinched back, nausea hitting me.
I…What…?
"I suppose…that's alright." Kris flashed the spider queen a smile before fleeing, dragging a befuddled Susie by the arm and away from us. There was relief in Muffet's body posture.
"You know you didn't tell them where to go right?" I rained on her parade.
"Oh…that won't be a problem. I have my ways." She giggled and spiders emerged from the shadows, tailing the young duo of monster and human.
I suppose that took care of that…but now what?
…
…
Neither of us knew what to say, whatever trains of thought any of us had long since broken.
"Ahh…Napstablook was it? My dearies have told me some…interesting things. You make music don't you?" The ghost blinked at Muffet's sudden questioning.
"ohhh…yes…i think you…can still…hear some of it." Muffet tilted her head, a gleam in her eyes. A shiver of anticipation following as she listened.
"Ahuhuhu! A lovely ambient tune, if that's just one of your creations. I wouldn't mind if you made more. My restaurant has always been…lacking in that department." Napstablook sniffled at Muffet's compliment.
"…thank you…"
More silence followed, and that suffocating absence of sound dragged on leaving us in an awkward and unsure position.
Lightning struck as I finally had an idea.
"Hey…would you guys like to hear music from the Surface?" The two monsters perked up with distinct smiles and I preened myself.
But…
Why did I have the feeling of something…going off kilter?
(Kris's POV)
We walked in silence, my feet taking us to our destination as the whispers of crawling arachnid mass guided me
The…monster girl had an angry look on her face, looking ready to…to…
'How do you feel… about losing your face?'
"Hey watch it you quiet nerd! You're pissing me off!" I let go, once I realized was gripping the purple monster's sleeve too tight. I loosened my grip…
"Sorry…I…didn't get your name…?" I suppress my emotions, the girl's face reading as an "Are you stupid?" face.
"It's Susie…why the hell would you help someone you don't know?" She growled out her question, magic leaking from her fingers.
"Well…because it's the right thing to do. Also it's Kris by the way." I haughtily answered her, hoping humor would alleviate the tension.
She rolled her eyes. "Don't care freak." My hands twitched angrily and I took a deep breath, keeping my cool.
"So…Uh Susie…what were you doing?"
"What's it to you?" Susie didn't want to answer, but I was going to pester her regardless.
"Just curious." Susie grumbled, and tried to get away from me. Instead she was stopped with a minor application of my own strength.
Which was when I noticed how tall she was…easily a head or more taller than Brandon, despite only being a middle schooler. Then again he was kinda a shrimp for a college kid.
My magic had gotten stronger down here…
"Found a cool axe and decided to play around with it…but that damn spider lady started shrieking at me when I almost hit another spider." I turned pale, remembering what Brandon had told me about Muffet.
"That's…not something you should be gambling with."
She scoffed arrogantly. "What's she going to do? Attack me."
"Yes." Susie missed a step at the solidity I was showing her.
"You serious?" I nodded and a brief flash of worry made its way across her face.
It didn't last long…the girl hiding her emotions behind a scowl. I did the same behind my…poker face?
…
Yeah…that sounds about right.
"It doesn't help that a friend of hers drank all her spider cider…" her purple skin turned almost pink, and I realized she must have felt fear.
Susie scowled again. "Hey don't think I can't tell what you're thinking you freak!" She pointed harshly against my collar bone, and I raised an eyebrow in question. "I ain't scared of shit you hear?!"
I nodded "sincerely" donning a smile on my face. "Of course you're not scared of anything." She nodded not realizing my use of sarcasm against her.
Susie was really interesting too…her song was a real banger, reminding me of a metal concert I had gone to once…a long time ago. I think I'd call this song…Susie.
It felt right…even with the brief starts and stops…like she was unsure of herself.
"The hell is…" she stopped as a few weak voices sounded out from a nearby passageway.
"B-Berdly! Y-You shouldn't have made Susie mad! That's not nice." A small timid and cute voice replied to the snide and nasally comments of…Birdly?
"Who cares? She's dangerous Noelle! The sooner she's out of our lives the better." We stopped short as the two monsters finally converged with us
One small and cute deer monster with blonde hair and big doe like eyes, and an…odd looking giant bird monster who was not as cute(or at all really…)
The blue monster bird had turned visibly pale while a tiny scream escaped from…Noelle?
Susie growled, her expression distorting as she leaned forward. "Oh no please go on, don't let me interrupt you." A sneeze escaped Berdly and he fled at a hundred miles an hour, leaving his petrified friend behind.
Strangely…she was looking at me with fear…instead of at Susie…
I took a step forward and she whimpered. I tilted my head at the reaction, finding it rather amusing. Susie didn't say anything, but her smirk was all the answer I needed.
Noelle was scared of humans…
I raised my hand and the deer girl flinched like she had been struck. I felt slightly hurt at her fear, I would never hurt anyone.
"H-Hi. I'm Kris." I offered the monster my hand, giving her a patient smile. Her hand lifted up of its own accord, shaking and trembling. Her delicate fingers brushed just short before she hopped back nervously.
The way her ears twitch is adorable…
The monster took a deep breath before greeting back. "I-I'm Noelle…you're a human right? With flesh and blood and guts and stuff?"
I poked myself to make sure and nodded. "Looks like it…"
"I…I…" She backed away, though she flinched when I stared at her. "I'm sorry…it's just…I've never met a human before. Only heard stories…"
…
"They weren't nice stories huh?" She replied in the negative and I sighed.
"I'm sorry…I've always been kind of…skittish." Her eyeballs moved to look at Susie and I for brief instances. I understood…
"Sure whatever…we were on our way to…" Susie growled, though she cut herself off.
I was supposed to take her where again?
"Hey…Hey kid down here! Follow me remember? We know the way!" A tiny squeaky voice spoke up and I pursed my lips at the spider clinging to my shoe.
"Oh where to little spider?" They pointed in a general northwest direction and Susie scowled.
"I'm going wherever I want you little bug! Wouldn't want me to step on ya after all?" She smiled evilly, though I was more unnerved by the spider's unblinking eyes.
"Good luck to you…Susie…we'll give you an hour or two of fun…but don't let our queen catch you. She likes playing with her food." Susie scoffed, rubbing her hands against her shoulders.
"Whatever." The spider left and the lizard monster looked both ways before talking. "If you two weirdos are still here, make yourselves useful and help me." She had drifted away from the group, tapping her fist against a hollowed section of the Waterfall cave wall.
"What?" I took a running leap, my hands instantly searching for the strange seam. I grabbed a small brush from my left pocket and with a flourish of speed and power…
Revealed the hidden door!
It was an old door with the Delta Rune(Deltarune?) on it, the strange angel like symbol was faded but still legible.
"A hidden door?" Any nervousness in Noelle was washed away by the shock of the discovery.
"Huh? Wasn't too sure if I was right…anyway I found this thing like yesterday and thought hey. Why not get two losers to do the work for me…?" I ignored her ramblings and lodged my fingers within the thin gap.
I started pushing with all of my tiny might an—
BOOM!
A resounding echo followed, shooting through both ends of the corridor…the door was open. And a dusty passageway lay ahead…
"Hey!" Susie pushed ahead of me with a dark chuckle, nearly knocking me on my butt.
"Thanks for doing all the work…you're a good "friend." I felt frustration at how difficult it was to make her friendly.
"O-Oh…you shouldn't…" the purple girl stopped just short of the shadowy area, and I smiled.
Oh…she's a little nervous isn't she?
"You aren't scared are you?"
Susie bristled. "Fuck no! I'm not afraid of nothing." She stomped forward into the darkness and I turned away with pleading eyes at Noelle. She looked like a helpful person. And her song reminded me of that movie with the momma and baby deer in it.
I moved forward and didn't start skipping when I heard the clopping sound of her hoove like shoes.
I lit up a light in the palm of my hand, and I could spot Susie's wild mane of purple hair now.
Let's follow!
"This secret tunnel is hella long." I nodded at Susie's complaint. We had been following her for at least ten minutes. And we still didn't seem close to the other side, though I could distantly pick out a tiny pinprick of light ahead.
"…" Noelle bit her lip.
I wasn't sure how to fill the silence, though an idea suddenly hit me.
"Umm…would it be alright to talk?" I asked the both of them at once. Noelle smiled, relief on her face.
"Tchh…sure…" Susie walked with her hands in her pockets, dragging her feet.
Tsundere…
Let's go then…what should I ask first?
"So…you both live near here?" I asked, hoping they would answer.
Noelle's eyes lit up. "U-Uh yes! We live near the river that leads to Hotland. It's a small town…maybe fifty monsters. There…isn't a lot to do back there."
"It's a boring as hell hick town where everyone hates me." Noelle looked horrified.
"That isn't true…I don't hate you." Susie's hands has tightened into fists.
"Then you fear me." Noelle didn't reply and Susie sighed. "That's what I thought."
…
Noelle took a deep breath and stared Susie down. "I…always thought that deep down you could be nice person. I still think you could be."
"Well you're wrong." I chuckled breaking the mood by accident.
I was lifted up into the air by an enraged Susie. "What's so funny?!" I coughed out a few more laughs and she shook me.
"I'm sorry. But you…you're nowhere close to being a bad person. I've met people who are truly irredeemable and you're not it." Susie suddenly looked uncomfortable, but a flash of light interrupted us.
"Guess we're here…" Susie strides increased and the smell changed…
The light was revealed to be a small glass less window, maybe a foot tall and six feet wide. I couldn't really see much, being a few inches too short. But Susie could see pretty well…the six foot two freak…
But held up by the collar of my shirt like I was…I could make out a round table made for seven…no eight people.
I could hear the whispers and murmurings of what were likely monsters.
"I can't see anything." Susie's lost her grip on me, and I landed quietly.
"Gimme…a second." With a little magic and creativity you can make anything.
Soon I had a two staircases to get us up to Susie's height. Now we could see for ourselves what was happening.
"T-Thank you." I gave Noelle a dashing smile and the faun like monster flushed. She put her attention back onto the window and so did I.
The door boomed open and an array of different monsters surged in. Seven all in total. From another door, a single monster emerged…
"Is…is that Asgore?!" Susie was a little shocked, her tough girl persona broken. She put it back on when we stared.
"Yeah…but that means…the Council." Noelle whispered back, awe in her voice. Her big doe eyes widened in surprise.
I took a closer look, taking in the seven monsters taking their respective seats.
The first two monsters couldn't be more different. One was a lady who would have looked pretty humanish if it wasn't for the yellow-brownish hawk like wings she sported as arms. She had sharp elegant features, with dark hair like feathers in a long wavy mane on her pretty head.
Her amber eyes were bright and intense, and her razor sharp teeth were being grit. The monster was wearing a silky white dress that made her look regal and sophisticated. With the Deltarune symbol on her chest, with "OH" letters printed underneath.
Her…partner wearing the same badge was a giant music speaker set with arms and googly eyes…
… that's all that needs to be said…
The next to appear was a bunny monster, a grey and white bunny to be specific. He looked oddly familiar, and wore a grey sweater with black pants. And seemed to be drinking carrot juice out of a wine glass…
The next monster looked like a mix of an giant electric eel and a woman. She slithered on the floor with a confident sashay in her hips. Her green hair was slightly wet as if coming out from a shower, and her teeth were sharp. Green glittery scales coated her arms and face, her dark brown skin tinted with the same speckles of green.
Kinda scary…
FWOOSH!
The next monster was incredible. Living Magma strutted their shapely hips, their privacy protected by a flaming dress. Her…they smiled not unkindly, and the other monster showed her a deep respect. Small smiles on their faces, or whatever they had for faces…
Two more monsters emerged…and I gawked at the bulk and size of the next monster.
Bigger than Asgore… he looked like a Chinese dragon, but he had his own charm. His scales were made of bark, while his feathers and fur were constructed of soft looking grass and leaves. He was green…a deep deep green…and he was…so…
FLUFFY!
His horns were gnarled tree branches and casually sitting atop his horn was…a Royal looking human?
She had a black gown, looking for all the world like an evil queen. A contrast to the happiness she emitted…
She had a rounded face with long dark curled hair, her eyes were a brilliant blood red, with light eyebrows. She was a lithe and fit person, the woman cocking a hip as she arrived in tow with the dragon.
What kind of monster was she?
She smiled and I gaped at the long sharp fangs she had…
"A vampire?" I asked Susie and Noelle, remembering that they were here with me.
Noelle replies with an "eep!" And didn't say anything else. Susie grunted, standing on the tips of her toes to get a better view.
So much for friendship…
The air became tense as Asgore released a deep resounding cough…though he had a friendly smile on his face.
"Hawx Fera…Heavy Metal." Asgore greeted the first two monsters to arrive, the hawk lady chirping while the Speaker monster boomed.
"What's up doc?" The bunny greeted him with a wide smirk.
"Bugs…" Asgore replied back with bemusement and moved on.
The eel woman flushed and politely bowed, her green hair crackling with electricity.
"Lamidae here…" the others laughed and her blush only deepened. The magma elemental took pity on her and coughed. Steam leaping out from her…their body.
"I am here as well…it's been a while since you've gathered us all together. Ehh King Fluffybuns?" Lamidae started laughing too, and Asgore grumbled under his breath, chuffing with embarrassment.
He lifted up his collar before continuing. "It has been some time Pele."
"It has been my King…" the fire elemental bowed before rising once again.
"Dracos Evergreen is here…" the dragon rumbled out his name with a smile. "As is Countessa Feros…" the vampire waved.
Asgore grinned, but he quickly became serious and rose to his full stature. And looked scary…
"The Council of Delta has been assembled…"
"The council of Delta…?"
Noelle perked up. "O-Oh! The council is the main governing body besides the King and Queen. They help keep everyone happy to take some of the workload off King Asgore." She was happy to help out and I couldn't help but pat her head.
She blushed and stammered and I gave her a another pat.
"Stop patting peoples heads it's weird freak." I glared at Susie, but decided to give it a rest and focus.
"We have gathered here to establish a plan for the future." The Councilors all looked at one another with Determination hidden within.
Oh…this was a serious matter…
Countessa spoke first. "You talk of the six human SOULS Gaster hid away under our noses?"
My breath was caught at the tension, and the two monsters besides me shuddered…
Asgore's eyes were hidden under his shadow. "I am…but there are other things he had revealed to me…a threat to the entire Underground." The seven monsters all growled, a protective aura coating them.
"The humans?! If Gaster killed them…then." The goat king raised a hand in a placating way.
"There are no worries in that regard…only two died from unnatural causes. During the CORE incident." Pele burst into angered flames and I shuddered at the best of raging war drums mountain thunder.
"What do you mean my King?"
"The children…sacrificed their bodies to maintain the integrity of the CORE. Without their help, the Kingdom would have been torn apart by dimensional rifts."
What the heck is the CORE?!
Ripping holes in spacetime?! How?
"That's the trouble isn't it?" Lamidae blushes under her fellow monster's scrutiny. She started her explanation. "I…saw his notes once…writings of nonsense. Raving about a dangerous Anomaly. I thought they were part of some game he had made for his children…" the other monsters gave her a blank look.
"Perhaps something to have mentioned young one…?" She wilted under the stare of Dracos, the plant dragon laughing a little bit.
"Golly…you're not wrong." The other looked on worriedly as the king sagged into his ornate chair.
"What is this threat? It must be a terrible one to have you made you like this…" Pele asked Asgore with her crackling fire like voice.
He took a deep, deep breath and then released, and started talking with conviction. "All of you know of Gaster's experiments with the KALEIDOSCOPE and the substance known as Determination?" The group stiffened, and Asgore grimaced. "He never told you that the determination was sourced from the human SOULS." They gasped… "From he I learned that this was the cause of humanities strength. A physical body capable of holding incredible amounts of determination. Allowing them to destroy us with ease."
"So what does this have to do with the threat…?" Countessa cocked an eyebrow with the question.
"He told me…that the being with the greatest determination holds sway over our timeline…the power of RESET" the crowd broke into an uproar and Asgore stomped his feet and trident silencing them all.
Reset?
"He told me…that a being of pure malice and evil had tricked a determined human. Inflicting an unending genocide against our people with their body and power. That the doctor we know…was killed in the CORE incident, scattered across space and time. He told me…that after thousands of resets, after thousands of failed plans. That they broke free, after obtaining the soul of a void forsaken human. That they rewrote History itself, to SAVE us all."
"W-Who…it was one of those…humans wasn't it? Tricked by this…Anomaly." There was disgust in the vampire's voice…but a hint of pity too?
"It's trying to come back isn't it?" Her dragon companion stated the truth, the King giving him a grim nod.
Susie suddenly tripped, her head cracking against the rock and echoing into the room. I covered her mouth before she could scream bloody murder and blow our cover.
"We should go." Against their protests I dragged them away. We didn't need to get in more trouble that we were already in.
I had no idea what we had just walked in on. And I didn't want to know any more.
…
…
We need to find the entrance…and fast.
Because the sinking feeling in my stomach isn't going away…and my instincts are screaming at me to run.
(3rd POV)
Many many eyes followed the three children, filling with warped glee and hunger. The veil shattered like glass, and several legs crawled in an unsteady balance. Jaws full of broken bone and shards of blackened crystal snapped shut.
It was hungry…
It crawled, waiting, festering, hungering… It's…clusterlings followed…they were so very hungry. Centuries of sleep had broken them, madness had claimed what barely qualified for minds they had left.
But IT promised them many things…food, the light, and freedom…for a simple, simple price. Their warped minds uncaring of morality, of the sanctity of life. Now after losing their world. They would commit any sin, commit any atrocity and crime…
All for the feast…
KILL THEM ALL. But leave the VESSEL, they are MINE.
Alien teeth groaned and cracked and the veil shattered again. Six more just like it came, and they listened.
"H-Hey Kris? Is it me or has the door closed?" The purple beast held fear in her voice.
"It has…" And the vessel replied flatly back.
"Do you think there's another way?" The fawn asked with misplaced hope.
But there would be none…they would die, and their new master would swallow the moon and stars.
Today they would feast on monster dust and human flesh!
(My POV)
I felt a sudden chill. The three of us had been listening to music for at least an hour or so. We had generally been having as much fun as a short human, a spider lady, and a teary eyed ghost could have. And having someone know my taste in music was liberating.
Had to restrict it to non Undertale/Deltarune though…
Muffet stiffened up as well, all color draining from her face. My soul pulsed as a scream rang out.
But it wasn't physical…
Like a beating drum in my head…
"what's…wrong…?"
Muffet was shaking in horror. "My spiders…oh…gods…what are those things?"
"Muffet?"
"The children…we need to find them…now." I could even see the worry in Napstablook's face. "Come quickly…" I yelped as three arms grabbed me, and my mana reacted bracing itself for l—
BOOM!
We flew like a whip crack and Napstablook phased into the floor, several spiders whispering to him. At the very last second I grabbed Susie's axe off the ground…it might be helpful.
We eventually rushed through what felt like half the Underground before crashing through a hidden stone door.
Muffet's pretty swole…
Waves of fear and outright terror were thrown against us and I felt a match light in my soul.
"Kris!"
In reply instead, a gurgling burbling shriek shook the tunnels we were in…
I could hear human and monsters panting but it wasn't close to where we were…
I looked down at my equipped weapon.
* Plain Old Iron Axe ATK 10
* Its an axe, what do you expect?
Fair enough…
I followed behind Muffet with axe in hand, my heart clenching as a sound like rasping chuckles and snickers filtered though…
I looked around in the infinite darkness around us, unnerved by the faint shine of Muffet's many eyes.
Skittering…
From up above, all I could see where wriggling spiked tentacles and a split mandibled jaw posing to strike…
SHREEEE!
With a terrified squeak I lashed out with my axe, piercing through its horrifying jaws and splattering gallons of black blood all over Muffet and I…
I gagged at the smell and taste, falling as the thousand pound body slumped. Instantly dead…
Muffet shrieked back, throwing purple webs at incredible speed. Two more lunged, before their spindly legs were caught in her webs and tripped…
Fire: Axe Tesla Beam
Justice flowed into the magical axe, and electric plasma beam flew with its slice. The smell of rotting burning flesh hit me. I felt chills as the creatures screamed their death knells, their flesh melted and scored away by solar level heat.
One remained alive, still trapped in Muffet's traps. It's mandibles shattered, and black goopy blood gushed from its jaw holes.
It…was difficult to describe…
It's skull resembled a dragon, if someone had split its jaws down the middle to form a horrifying insect like mandibled face. Three to four pairs of sharp tentacles obscured its face, wriggling with a slimy sound. Spikes and crystal formed rudimentary teeth along its four mandibles. My body shuddering as it wheezed.
It's first pair of true limbs resembled brutal swinging clubs, reminding me of a mantis or pistol shrimp. The way they twitched eagerly frightened me…the clubs were spiked and tinted with a strange leaking fluid.
The second pair of limbs were those of an enormous spider, the limbs twitching disgustingly. Right above them on its back, a second pair mirrored them. But it instead had seven clawed fingers, wrinkled and scaled. Built for grasping and gut tearing…
It's barrel shaped body ended in a prehensile tail, a mouth like organ at the end spitting balls of weak acid.
Coloration wise…it resembled a newborn child…wrinkly wet purplish pink skin, with…god's…
What is this…monstrosity?
* R#v#S## ATK 4 DEF 2
* Hungry…
The creature fell silent…before screaming in our faces once more. A horrible, ear piercing roar. It's limbs and head twisted in unnatural angles, before glass started shattering. The creature was overtaken by a cloud of static clouds, vanishing into oblivion. The others did the same.
That sound…rung of Genocide.
…
What an odd thought.
"H-How…how many more?" I asked, feeling jittery and nervous at the darkness around us.
Muffet scanner the vicinity, nodding to an unseen conversation. "About 15…14 now…that Susie has brought down one."
That's…good…
More skittering…and Muffet sighed. Glowing webs appeared tripping up four more of those creatures…
They screamed and bellowed, their jaws tearing through the webbing with ease. One attacked the tunnel itself, it's clubs shattering the sound barrier with each eager twitch.
Hahhh…
How about…
Gravity Crush
The clubber's legs snapped under its own weight and with a dainty elegant twirl, Muffet fired back. Dozens of pastries filled the space between us, and holes were easily punched through the beasts fragile flesh. Blood and guts coated the tunnel and my nose twitched.
Ten left…
A hot puff of hot air hit me and I screamed, the monster sneaking up on me lunging with full intent to devour me.
A rain of tears poured down, and the beast started scratching out its three pairs of eyes, twitching itself into an early grave
Floating above us, Napstablook gave us a small friendly smile.
H-Huh? What the hell…
"Thanks…" he nodded and Muffet gestures to another more stable tunnel.
"The children are this way…we may need to leave someone to guard the tunnel. If those things escape." Her wordless warning was enough
"ohhh…there's no worries…i called someone…a few guards should…be…here by now…"
Oh…good thinking.
The screaming picked up, and we started moving even faster…
I brushed off the sweat on my forehead. Four more had gotten in our way, and Muffet had mentioned that one had been killed by Kris.
None of us had an idea what these…invaders were. They weren't monsters…and they seemed to be made of physical matter.
Despite disappearing into shards of screaming glass after a certain amount of time…
Now only four…remained, and I heard three distinct pants and cries growing closer…wait its too cl—
I was suddenly barreled over by three oversized children, and felt blinding pain as a pair of antlers met my "special area"
…
…
"Kris…are you and your friends alright?" Kris shook silently, and anger surged within me at the marks and bruises costing their arms and legs.
There was a small crack in one of…Noelle's antlers and Susie had a scratch on her face.
So not unscathed…and that pisses me off…
The tunnel started shaking, and the air in front of us was distorted and shifting, four invaders making their way toward us. Their mandibles clicking together with malice and hatred.
A strange…song started playing, and the usual flash of black and white flared around us.
The three of us stepped up(floated in Napstablook's case) and…
My legs are shaking aren't they? They can't stop shaking…why…why…why?
The two meter monster sauntered forward but…one of them…was different from the rest. Twice as tall and ten times as heavy, more heavily armored, and certainly more clever. It's eyes filled with a frighteningly sadistic intelligence.
Yet…it felt terribly empty, as if there was a deep void in its SOUL.
—Ultra Beast Theme—
In a single leap, the smallest had its clubs poised to aim….
Thunder boomed, and I yelled out as I took a hit straight to the chin. Back claws surged downward and cut through my shirt, but not through my skin.
My only saving grace being a quick flash of reinforcement.
I held myself up with the staff of the axe, wheezing at the sheer force.
They were stronger than the others…
* Greater R#v#S## ATK 10 DEF 8
* Will enjoy feasting on your still beating heart.
Oh gods…just why?
I read the big one, and started regretting every moment of my short human life.
* Queen R#v#S## ATK 55 DEF 55
* Puppet of the ANGEL'S HEAVEN
I'm going to die aren't I? I'm really going to…to…
"Brandon focus on the FIGHT or you really will die!" Muffet roared in my ear and I returned to the here and now. My attacker shrieked and suddenly found an axe embedding into its hideous tentacled face.
I struck a dozen times, screaming the entire time in unholy terror. "Die die die die die die! DIEE!" The crawler stumbled back, and I threw a gravity crusher enjoying the sudden snap of it's legs. Despite its injuries it got up anyway, snapping its drooling mandibles attempting to bite my face off.
It leaped on shattered pulverized bones, gripping to the cave wall with its bound.
It was healing…slowly, it's powdered bones shifting back and solidifying…
Need…to…have to…hit at the right spot.
An idea came to me and I jumped, avoiding its claws and attaching myself to its vulnerable stomach.
I took a breath and…
Structural Analysis. Locating weakness in armor.
For a brief moment, my head was filled to the brim with knowledge, a blueprint of its anatomy burning itself into my mind.
I twisted my hips as I swung the axe with all might, striking a direct hit on its chest. There was a sickening crack as it'd body collapsed inward.
With another nightmare inducing shattering of glass. It was gone…
Now there were three…
The Queen looked straight at us with bloody murder in its eyes. It's tail mouth opened like a hideous flesh flower…
BLEHHH!
Vomitic acid started flying everywhere, and while my teammates ducked out of sigh. I made a barrier to protect myself and the kids. The acid slowly corroding the dense layers of defensive magic away.
I gaped as a second invader leaped, bouncing from barrier to barrier before…
OH SHIT!
I took a one two punch, acid burning into my aura, and claws trying to carve out my flesh. I suddenly took a tail bash, my breath leaving me as I flew through the air.
Napstablook shook, and a wave of acid burned half its face off. Muffet giggled madly, and with a snap of her fingers, spider fang bullets snapped off its arms like twigs.
"Oh dearies…hurting my friend was a mistake you won't survive." The beasts choked, as webs trapped them in place. Barely able to move at all…
Only two…
I increased the mass behind my weapon…releasing as much power as I could…
A giant slash of light struck down like the hand of a mighty god. Throwing as much as I could until it was…dead…
Only one remains…
The strings of spider silk strained as they hung onto its limbs and I hoped to god it would hold.
But it didn't…
SNAP!
It's pulled itself free, it's face tentacles shivering in anticipation…and drool melting the ground. It's growl intimidated me…and that was all it needed…
My body flashed with pain…
I'm on the ground…Muffet is screaming obscenities…green tears are dripping down, and a massive influx of energy is…urk…
"uhhh…he's at full hp again…" I groaned, feeling woozy…
I'm…back on my feet again. My axe is cracked…shit we gonna die.
"How much…HP left?" I asked as I stepped forward, barely catching myself.
"Just…a few more hits from Muffet and…" Kris answered me, their voice shaking with terror. The Queen froze, before it suddenly flickered.
Muffet cried out, and was thrown against the tunnel wall. She didn't have much of anything left. And Napstablook's acids tears aren't much of a deterrent.
The monster started galloping, its arms sparking with heat and fire…with intent to kill.
No…no one will die today…
I was nearly beaten to near death, two savage bashings more than enough to drop my HP down to only 1 again.
I knew I only had less than a split second before they Queen would spill my guts on the floor…
I grit my teeth, Feedback Loop spinning up into action.
The clubs of death drew back, and as I moved and as the claws inched closer…
I know I had failed…I was going to die.
A yowl split the air and the clubs missed my head by inches…and I roared again.
"Feedback Loop: Chainwhip Barrage!" A hundred heavy metal chains collided, cracking through chitinous armor and soft flesh.
The alien froze in place, as still as death. It looked me in the eye…and spoke.
"There is no stopping us. You will die to the Angel's Heaven." The Queen collapsed like a puppet on strings, and my legs collapsed under my weight.
I passed out in exhaustion.
I snapped awake, a scream bursting out of my lungs. Footsteps hurriedly came from the next room. And I suddenly had a faceful of Frisk's boobs as she hugged me to death.
I can't breathe…
"What happened…?"
"Kapro saved you…her tackle of that…thing gave you the time to bring it down with your Feedback Loop." I wiggled myself higher, resting my head in the crook of her neck. A less awkward position frankly…
"So…nobody's hurt?" I asked with a quiver in my voice. Frisk seemed uneasy, and I hoped…
"N-No…some of the guards took some damage when twenty of them burrowed out from the walls…but they were pretty weak."
That's…good…good.
Frisk gave me a light smack and I glared. "Hey?!"
"Don't fall asleep when I'm talking to you!" I wilted, the deep concern she showed touching me.
"Sorry…?" Her gaze softened, and she let out an anxious huff.
"It's fine…but you almost died…"
"I don't want to be reminded Frisk." Her face flushed and she muttered out an awkward apology.
…
…
"The kids are unhurt too right? I know they were a little banged up but still…"
There was a light smile on her face when she replied. "Nah…Toriel took care if it with her magic. Outside of some trauma…they should be alright."
"That's good…has…anyone figured out what those things are?"
That smile of hers was instantly wiped from her face by my question. I mentally kicked myself at ruining the moment.
"I…they haven't…the only thing they do know…is that they aren't life as we know it. It's made up of physical matter…but they aren't genetically related to earth life. We don't even know how they got here!" There was a hint of hysteria behind her tone and I forced myself to remember back for clues…
Puppet of the Angel…
"Hey Frisk?"
"What?" Frisk replied back with irritation. I gave her a friendly flick on the nose, not willing to tolerate her bad moods. She glared and I glared back. She backed down pretty quickly…
"That…thing that possessed you, it's a destroyer of realities right?" She grimaced and I had my answer, and an idea. "How…perfect would it's destruction really be? I doubt it could wipe out the universe with 100% accuracy."
Her eyes widened and her face went slack. "A-Are you saying? That those creatures…?"
"May be survivors of this…Angel's wrath. And they've…possibly become creatures of the Void, where they're most vulnerable to its machinations."
"I won't let them take our happy ending!" I was jolted back at the sudden anger and desperation coming from a Frisk. Her baby blue eyes had turned into a darker stormier hue. Sudden pressure seemed to be crushing the air out of my lungs…
The pressure stopped as quickly as it had come, all the fight leaving Frisk in an instant.
"I…okay? That's…it's great you're fired up Frisk." Frisk was flustered, and stammered out a shy(and cute) apology.
I grinned…
…hmm…something feels different? But I'm not sure what?
Frisk giggled and a small text floated from over my head to down to her palm. A CHECK box? Possibly read from Frisk's perspective…
* Brandon ATK 5 DEF 6
* Feels a little more confident in himself.
* Enjoying contact with the opposite sex.
My eyebrow twitched…and Frisk stepped away from me in fright. Her hands and arms waving in a placating fashion.
"Hehehe? S-Sorry?" She apologized, and the expression on Frisk's face broke my scowl.
It's too much!
Frisk whined, her cheeks inflating with air. "Are you making fun of me?" I choked on my laughter, not wanting to make her mad.
"N-No I'm not. But I do need to sleep…" Frisk reddened at my statement, and I laughed again. Seeing her so flustered was cute.
"Right…you…do need your rest. Sorry…" she brushed the wrinkles out of her nightwear, giving me an easy smile.
"Good night." I waved politely and she blinked dumbly.
"G-Good night." Frisk swiftly left the room, leaving me with some confusion on her sudden exit.
Did I say something wrong?
(Unknown POV)
Hmm…? So those pathetic creatures have been an utter failure. I suppose it makes sense. Such weak willed beings have no place as my tools.
Such weakness…will not be tolerated…
I suppose if they have no more usefulness, I will have to terminate the remains of their world from the VOID.
Even though some have drifted onto the surface…
Troublesome creatures…the humans can deal with them for now… Now…what other meat sacks can I commandeer? I need a much stronger vessel, one that can finish the GENOCIDE I started all those years ago…
…
…
…how ironic, you once gave up ultimate power to save your people…now you will serve as the herald of its destruction. Once again…you will fall prey to your darkest desires.
Your world is gone…dead by my hand. Your Frisk is gone…your Chara is gone, you have nothing to play with anymore
So won't you come with me? Once again…
Flowey?
"…"
Good…so…very good…
Soon…you are running out of time, foolish interlopers. I will ERASE this world, and move onto the next.
As it is meant to be…
