Five Nights of Redemption

Hey guys this is it the fight against omega Flowey, it's all coming together now and the end is near but you may be surprised to see what happens, let's do this

Chapter 18: for friendship and family

On their way back to MT. Ebott the vortex showed the anthros and the monsters the events that had led up to now, they saw the fight against Chrysalis and the party they had before that, they saw the fight with Toriel, Papyrus and Undyne and all the heartfelt moments in between, they saw the fight against Moonlight Star and his power to move the sun and the moon, then his moment of forgiveness and redemption, they saw all the best parts of their adventure, but now comes what could be the fight to end it all, if they win the ponies will be freed and then Flowey will have nothing left to fight with, this is surely his last resolve.

Toriel was nervous, she knows that Flowey is Asriel but right now he's not himself and she may have to fight him to stop him, but she remembered what Freddy said, he has a small light in him when he looks at her, maybe... just maybe she could bring it out and she could find a way to get Asriel back.

They all got back to somewhere within MT. Ebott, but were, it was cold, dark and soundless, it reminded the anthros of the void, a place devoid of anything, no light, no sound, and only a cold chill, if anything it was the place for all those who have died and haven't found peace, maybe this was a hint to Flowey, as Asriel was killed by his friend and was lost for years, this made Freddy more determined to help him.

Freddy: "come on guys, this is a sign, a sign to us saying that Flowey needs our help"

Mangle: "well yeah I'm ready to help but, where do we go?"

Bonnie: "good question, it's nothing but black here and I can't see anything other than us"

Cyril: "maybe there's something we need to find"

Toriel: "what about that"

The crew followed Toriel to where there was something on the ground, it was Celestia and Luna's crowns just sitting there and looking a bit dirty, they were covered in leaves and stained yellow from the pollen of the petals, then something moved, something big, heavy and full of different types materials as they heard metal clanging, bushes rustling and glass shattering, whatever has become of Flowey he is something to be feared and as he got closer they saw him for what he was.

Flowey: "hahahahahahaha, good to see you back again, I didn't think that stupid greasy Rabbit would kill you, you are indeed too strong for him, but it was worth a try, now you face me, you face a god"

Freddy: "is this what you meant when you said you wanted to feel more, you becoming a freak"

Flowey: "but I can feel them, the ponies are trying to break free, they're wriggling all over my body, feels weird but it's good"

Mike: "no you don't feel any different, just look at you, you're still a flower, a soulless freak with just one emotion, bloodlust"

Flowey: "well then let me share this emotion with all of you and see you squirm as I kill you, and with this new form I've gained the power to use save states"

Toriel: "please Flowey, don't do this"

Flowey: "huh?"

Toriel: "do you not remember me, do you know who I am to you my child?"

Flowey: "oh yes I know who you are"

Toriel: "then why, why have you become this hideous monster to fight us?"

Flowey: "because aside from calling out to a certain someone who never came to me, I want to gain the power to go back in time and kill the once friend I had and have a better life then what it is now"

Foxy: "you can't change time, one you'll likely destroy this universe and perhaps others and two, you need to learn to let go"

Flowey: "enough talk, let's do this"

So Flowey started out the fight with a barrage of death pellets some coming straight down, some forming circles round members of the crew and closing in, the crew did their best to dodge but this was the part where fighting against any monster became a real bullet hell, the next thing he did was create small hands making gun gestures and they fired flower headed bullets out, they had a hard time dodging all that too but managed in the end and all the crew were still on their feet.

Flowey then changed things up, he used Rainbow Dash's cutie mark to fill the battle field full of knifes and they had to avoid them, they're seemed to be no end in sight and they couldn't fight Flowey as he was gone somehow, they needed someone to help them and they called for help, but who would answer their call.

Rainbow Dash: "guys I'm still here, it's me Rainbow Dash, here take these, you're doing awesomely so keep going and I'll see you soon"

They heard Rainbow Dash and was spared on to finish the fight, as they came back to Flowey he unleashed a hail storm of nukes on the battle field, they were weak though and only got a few of the crew, it was time to fight back and Freddy took the first shot, he was unsure if he should use his time powers so he just jumped right up to his face and punched him, this did a bit of damage but then Finn used his rock form for a bit and shot some big boulders at Flowey and then he got mad and changed the battle field again.

This time there was a bunch of hands in a circle spinning around and moving in and out, the crew had to move through them and then out the other end of them, this was also getting a bit too much for them and they needed to call for help, who would answer them this time.

Applejack: "howdy y'all, here have a thumbs up, hope I'm doing it right, just hang in there a little longer I know you can beat him, cya later"

With Applejack's confident words they felt even more powerful and went back to Flowey to defeat him now he was sending out weird plants with mouths on them and they bounced around the place catching a few of the crew at a time coursing some to almost run out of health, Toriel still had some butter scotch pie left though, she gave it to them and they got back on their feet, then they fought back, this time Monty and Robin choose to attack by possessing him and got him to punch himself, since he was very strong he could hurt himself quite badly and he was having none of it.

Flowey broke free of their possession and used two flame throwers to try and burn them but they backed off, then he changed the battle field to the next cutie mark, this time there were stars and ballet shoes, the shoes were moving up and down at random intervals and there was no way to predict when they would move up or down, it was looking bad for them and they called out for help, who was next to aid them.

Rarity: "my darlings do not fear, I Rarity will help you stop this beast, take these I'm sure they'll help, now you go beat this monster and we'll see each other soon"

With Rarity's help they felt the Determination rise up inside them again, but now there was a problem, so far 3 ponies have been saved and there's only 3 more power cables that Flowey has to contain the ponies, at this rate only 3 more ponies will be saved and they have befriended 13 of them, it's looking bad but Chip was sure he could find a way to save them all.

Back to Flowey he unleashed a string of vines that would target a single member of the crew and fly at them with some force, it was easy to dodge at first but then Flowey grew a Venus Fly Trap from one of two arms, while the other two were used for support, then use the vines to catch them off guard, the trick worked on some of the lighter anthros while the heavier ones could stand their ground and move out of the way but only just in time, this time it was Lenny and Tina's turn to fight, going into feral mode they clawed and scratched at him furiously, this was a bad move and again he changed the battle field.

This time the field had two computer chips running down the sides and they were sending words like: sadness, ruin, death, sorrow, pain, murder, doom, hatred, nightmare, trapped and despair, all the words that would elicit a negative feeling or response, what made it worse was that the words repeated in their heads, with whispers from angry voices, the voices were getting too much and they called for help, who can help them now.

Pinkie: "hi guys, shish such harsh words, how about, love, relief, happiness, joy, hope, relax, trust, faith, prosperity and redemption, feel good, great now go save the others, I'll see you in a minute, oh by the way after this we are so having a party"

With Pinkie's kind words they continued to Flowey and started to fight him straight off, Foxy throw punches after punches and his fists were covered in fire and Flowey started to burn but this is where he used his save states and Foxy was back to where he was about to punch Flowey but then Flowey used his vines and Foxy was hurt badly, Mike and Chip then combined their powers using the Ying Yan shield to push Flowey away but again he used save states and as they were coming back to push him away he brought his hands up and then down on Mike and Chip.

They were hurt bad too and Toriel was starting to really, really hate Flowey, she powered up and her body caught fire she tried one more time to talk to the son she knew was in there some were.

Toriel: "Flowey, I know who you are, I know that you are not as you seem"

Flowey: "oh really, who am I then, what do you know about me?"

Toriel: "I know when you look at me you see that I am something very important to you"

Flowey: "erm... no, no you're not, you... are just a stupid old woman who lost her son and..."

Toriel: "and that he became a flower, lost his soul and can barely feel and love or compassion anymore"

Flowey: "h... how, how do you know... so much about me?"

Toriel: "because I am your mother, I am the one that keeps dreaming about you when I go to bed, I am the one who is sorry I didn't see the evil in your friend's eyes and you, you are my son, you are... Asriel Dreemurr"

Flowey: "don't you dare, don't you... DARE CALL ME THAT, that name is dead, DEAD, and you never came when I called out to you"

After that Flowey was furious and launched all kinds of attacks and save stated around 7 times to re attack and change how some engagements happened, he kept it up and the crew were suffering until Marionette used that one attack he would only use in the most dire of occasions, it was the move that could destroy the universe and a small black hole started to form behind Flowey, at this Flowey knew what he was trying to do and changed the battle field again to stop him.

This time there were 3 frying pans that flipped up a number of little flames, they dodged as many as they could and if any of them were having trouble Toriel would absorb the fire to regain the strength she had lost from Flowey's denial of who he really is, but Flowey kept forcing the cutie mark to attack with relentless speed, which was something this cutie mark didn't have, they called out for help to see if it would aid them instead and they got answered with kindness.

Fluttershy: "how are you guys doing, I'm very sorry for hurting you here take these eggs they'll help, I do so love eggs, I'll meet you soon"

After eating the delicious eggs from Fluttershy they regained all their health and those who may have been close to death felt revitalised and ready to stop Flowey, they got back to Flowey and Marionette tried to restart the black hole but Flowey had a move just as powerful to stop him, he started by opening his mouth and charged a blue energy within it, Freddy didn't like this and prepared to go back in time to save Marionette but then thought "what if I get hit by that, will I die, will dying end this whole adventure, I would be giving my life to save the one to give me life, would he be able to bring me back a third time" once he was done thinking the blue energy was fired as a laser and almost hit the Marionette but something blocked it.

That something was Mike and Chip using their Ying Yan shield, it was powerful enough to stop a celestial laser so it was more than enough to stop and general mouth laser, even when Flowey put all his power into the laser it did nothing to stop the Ying Yan shield, then Flowey used his last cutie mark and changed the battle field, on the field there was a revolver, it shot 3 bullets at a time and every time it shot two volleys it reloaded, this gave them time to damage to gun and stop it from firing but it was well made.

It was taking time but this time they did not call for help and persevered and soon the gun was destroyed, after the gun's parts had left the field a cutie mark appeared, it was Twilight's cutie mark, with the smaller stars moving around the central star, it started to talk and it sounded like Twilight but then again it was the cutie mark of Twilight, to Chip it was like when you see a red M you knew it was Mario from Super Mario Bros.

Twilight: "great work guys, now I know you are my true friends but the job isn't done yet, Celestia, Luna, Moonlight and Sunset are still trapped, not to mention Starlight, you have to keep fighting, don't worry though we'll be there to help out soon"

Chip: "here, I'll keep you safe in my hands and release you at the right time"

So the crew went back to Flowey, he was still hardly damaged from the crews attempts at fighting back, but now he could be hurt using the Marionette's black hole to rip the other ponies still trapped inside of Flowey's body, Foxy and Toriel worked together to burn him, Pip and Toy Bonnie used their ice to freeze him, Toy Chica used her feathers and one actually cut right through his left arm and it fell to the ground, Chica over powered the wires and cables holding him up and he was electrocuted, Bonnie and Sans used telekinesis to pull him apart, they tried to separate the body from the TV screen.

Sarah was unsure of how to fight but then she realised that poison Ivy can grew all over anything even other plants and it was finally her turn to make a difference and so using poison Ivy leaves they attached themselves to Flowey and he started to feel ill, his health was so close to depleting they all could taste the victory that was right in front of them but then when they did stop him this happened.

Flowey: "no... no, how, how can this be, how can I lose to you... (troll face)"

Chip: "really, really a troll face, you insufferable piece of sh..."

Flowey: "ah, language"

Mike: "oh what now your Handsome Jake or something?"

Flowey: "no it's just even with your immense power you still can't beat me, I'm a god now and no one can beat a god"

Chip: "now's the time"

?: "you're no god, your just a lost soulless flower and you have nothing on us"

Flowey: "how's that?"

Twilight: "it's me, Twilight Sparkle and my friends"

Behind the crew of anthros and monsters were the ponies that were saved, Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, they were there ready to stand with the crew and save the rest of the ponies and finish this adventure to help him and the Dreemurr family.

Twilight: "come on guys, it's time to put this flower back into the ground"

Papyrus: "oh my god, was that a pun about flowers from a pony?"

Sans: "yes, and it was awesome"

Twilight: "thanks, now then I do believe there's a song coming on"

Freddy: "I believe you're right, and I know the perfect one"

Freddy then started to sing about being beaten down and then coming back to fight harder than ever before and defeating the foe with no way for it to stand up and fight.

(Now play Watch You Crawl by RED, yes RED all the way)

Freddy: "you put my back against the wall,

Watching, waiting,

You never thought I'd get this far,

Beneath your skin, I watch you swim with all your lies,

They pulled you under,

And as you wait for my demise, I'm just getting stronger,

Learning who you really are, and nothing can save you,

I will fight until the end, ready to collide,

And I will watch you fall again, I'll bury you alive,

You tried to bring me to my knees, you tried to take it all,

Now I will stand and watch you crawl,

I'll put you back were you belong,

Hopeless, fading,

And I will rise while you, become the monster you have fed,

I'll let you drown in your despair, now nothing can save you,

I will fight until the end, ready to collide,

And I will watch you fall again, I'll bury you alive,

You tried to bring me to my knees, you tried to take it all,

Now I will stand and watch you crawl,

Now I'm going to watch you BEG!"

After the song Freddy and the crew powered up using their most powerful forms and moves, the ponies used Rainbow power to try and change Flowey back but needed the help of Marionette's black hole to rip the other ponies away, then they would use the light from Rainbow power to grab them and bring them to the place where they are needed most, by the side of their friends, as this was happening the anthros and monsters were fighting Flowey as he tried to fight back but he was bombarded with everything else and couldn't do anything so as the ponies were being freed they used their cutie marks to help and soon Flowey was changed back to his lonely little flower self.

After that all that was left was a dry wilting flower with a small shred of life that was holding on just to have a few last words, at this point Alphys felt it was her turn to help and tried to talk to Flowey.

Alphys: "Flowey, I'm sorry, I know you were one a very happy and loving boy, a child that would see the world with wonder, you had a dream to see more, see the outside world, to feel the sun on your... fur"

Flowey: "well it was my dream, but now well... you might as well just kill me"

Alphys: "what?!"

Toriel: "why would we do that?"

Flowey: "if you don't I'll come back, I'll kill you, I'll kill Asgore again, I'll kill everyone you love, so... go ahead, do away with me, make it quick"

Toriel then burnt up but this time the fire was not of rage but of love, the last few times she burnt up her fire was bright and ferocious but this time the fire was slow moving, more like a candle or log fire instead of a forest fire, and it was a little dim, she wanted to make sure if there was at least even a small piece of love and compassion inside of Flowey she would get it out, but it didn't work.

Flowey: "what are you doing?"

Toriel: "Flowey... Asriel, you are my son, I love you, please understand"

Flowey: "I told you, don't call me... that"

Toriel: "but that is who you are, please understand"

Flowey: "I'm not that, I've not been that since HE took me away"

Toriel: "you are that, you are my son, please... understand"

Flowey: "why are you being so nice to me?"

Toriel: "because... I am... your mother... please... understand"

Flowey: "I can't understand, I can't, I just... CAN'T UNDERSTAND"

Flowey seemed to have an emotion, it was sadness, the sadness to know who he is, who Toriel is to him and yet not fully feel the love she was trying to convey to him, he was crying proof of an emotion but then he burrowed into the ground and he left, Toriel was heartbroken she tried to get him to see that he was still in there somewhere but Alphys was right Flowey just didn't have enough to feel the true love of a mother and her son.

Mettaton: "Toriel my dear, I'm sorry, just a look at that scene has given me inspiration, I want to commemorate this moment in a show one day and I promise it will give full gravity and weight to what has happened, or perhaps this is a bit inappropriate"

Toriel: "just hold the thought, this story isn't over yet, I just know that we will see Flowey again one last time, and now we have the ponies back will have to give it our all to stop him and get him back to me"

Moonlight: "I have to say this has been a hell of an adventure, but now we have just one last thing to do, return your son to his normal form"

Celestia: "and how do we do that?"

Marionette: "we must offer a soul to him, either monster or human should do it but, who would be desperate enough to offer a soul?"

Toriel: "I know who, Marion, is it safe enough for all of us to travel back in time to when we were fighting Asgore?"

Marionette: "well since I just used a black hole like 3 times and nothing got affected I'll say yes, but we mustn't go farther than that, I wouldn't want to risk it"

Toriel: "that's fine with me, let's go"

So now that everyone/everypony are back together they had to go back in time to a point where Asgore was still alive and ask him if he would offer his soul to Flowey, he could then use it to get Asriel back to normal and finally they could be a family again, but if Asgore does do that he will be sharing his body with Asriel and it would be weird to hear quotes that Asgore would say through Asriel's voice, but then again sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

So that was chapter 18 of Five Nights of Redemption, I hope you are ready for the next chapter cus that one will finally reveal the little prince we all waiting to see, I hope you also felt the emotion in the scene with Flowey and Toriel a that point I was listening to a sad song and I felt ready to cry so till next time.
