THIS FANFICTION IS NOT DEAD.
Let me say it again.
THIS IS NOT DEAD. I AM DEEPLY, SINCERELY AND WHOLE HEARTEDLY SORRY FOR BEING A LAZY ASS AND NOT POSTING ANYTHING FOR OVER 3 MONTHS.
Why is this a thing, might you ask? Simple, because I finished school, got lazy, found a new MMO to play, and kept procrastionating doing this. Therefore, we have three months +- of me not writing a damn thing, but NOW I am back and I PROMISE this will never happen again (unless my computer is smashed to bits/The world ends/my account gets stolen or I get a 16 hour a day job or something), and EVERY MONTH WILL SEE A NEW CHAPTER BEING RELEASED, I PROMISE, PROMISE AND PROMISE!
Again, I am so sorry that I am super, duper ultra late on updating this, but I started this story, and I WILL, no, I MUST finish it, it is my duty and responsibility as a Fanfiction writer to deliever to you all, the story that you desire/don't desire since you don't like me anymore cause I'm a lazy ass. Again I am so, so sorry about that, but as I said, I will NOT let a month go by without an update (Otherwise I will ban myself from playing games until I get it done.)
Also, the poll will be closed after Chapter 6 goes up. Personally I'm quite happy with how it's going.
Also, it feels great to be back, so without delay, let's get back into the action! And I may or may not post another chapter of this before the end of the month, since I'm kinda in a writing frenzy right now.
ALSO THIS IS NOT DEAD.
Disclaimer: I don't own DxD or Undertale etc. etc.
Raynare regarded Asia and Frisk with a cold smirk on her face as she twirled a spear of golden light in her left hand. Asia stared at her with a terrified expression whilst Frisk, who was standing next to her, still had his back turned to the fallen angel. "I don't know who you are or how you managed to dodge my attack, but one thing is for certain. You're not going to see tomorrow." Raynare said in a cocky tone of voice.
"N-No Raynare please don't hurt him!" Asia begged. "He hasn't don-"
"I'll be fine Asia." Frisk suddenly said, cutting her off. The blond looked at him and was surprised to see a smile on his face. "Don't worry about me." He then adopted a slightly serious expression and turned around. He immediately blushed as he did so, but kept his eyes firmly on Raynare's face and not the two large things on her chest that seemed to defy physics. "Who are you?" He asked, not in a threatening or cold voice, but in a curious voice.
"My name is Raynare." The black haired girl replied. "And I'm a fallen angel." She then flapped her wings for emphasis. "And I'm also the person who's going to kil-"
"Oh cool you have wings too!?" Frisk asked with excitement in his eyes. "That's so cool!" Raynare blinked and her mouth fell open. She'd been expecting fear, denial, disbelief or just for the boy to fall over in shock...
... Not tell her that her wings were cool.
"I... wha..."
"Wait you said you were a fallen angel? So does that mean you're from heaven and stuff?" Frisk asked quickly. "If so, why are your wings black? Did you get them dirty or something?" He fired the questions off faster than she could process them. Even Asia was staring at the boy with a dumbfounded expression. Raynare then scowled at the boy.
"My wings are black because I got kicked out of heaven, hence the word' fallen' you idiot!" She snapped in irritation, throwing the spear in her hand at Frisk. He casually sidestepped the attack as it reached him and then soared harmlessly past him and Asia. He frowned.
"You got kicked out of heaven?" He asked, sounding surprised. "Why? How?" Raynare's eye twitched and she summoned another spear of light.
"I was going to take my time and taunt you but now it looks like I'LL JUST HAVE TO KILL YOU!" She roared, hurling the spear at Frisk. Yet again, he sidestepped the attack. The fallen angel growled in anger. "How... how the hell are you dodging my attacks!?" She demanded. "It should be impossible for a mere human to dodge attacks of such speed!"
"It's because they aren't that fast." Frisk said plainly. Raynare blinked and then glared at Frisk.
"What did you say?" She sneered, summoning another spear.
"Your attacks are slow." He said again, not in a taunting or arrogant way, but in a matter-of-fact way, as if he were telling her that her that it was going to rain tomorrow or that Papyrus made the best spaghetti in the universe. Raynare growled and threw another spear, which Frisk dodged. "See?"
"Shut up... how in hell are you dodging my attacks!?" Raynare demanded. Frisk smiled.
"Oh, that's because I know someone who can throw spears a lot faster than that." His eyes widened. "Hey! I could introduce you two!" Raynare's eyebrow twitched and she gripped the spear in her hand.
Fuck this. I'm gutting this boy right now. With a roar of anger, Raynare charged Frisk, spear held high.
"Frisk!" Asia cried in fear. Strangely enough the boy took a few steps forward. Raynare grinned.
"Accepted your death have you!? THEN DIE!" She screeched and swung the spear as fast as she could in an arc, aiming for the boy's neck. There's no way he can dodge at this ran-
He casually ducked, as if he'd seen a coin lying on the ground. The attack harmlessly cut the air above him.
W-Wha...? Blinking, Raynare seethed and swung the spear down towards Frisk's back, intent on carving his torso in half.
He took a step to the side as if he were getting out of the way for someone and the spear got embedded in the ground.
N-No way... H-He can't be dodging me at this range! It's impossible! Raynare's anger rose, further blocking out her reason. She swung sideways again, this time at Frisk's torso.
He jumped. Around 3 feet in the air in fact. Rather impressive.
Raynare spun around and charged him as he landed. "STOP DODGING AND JUST DIE ALREADY!" She screamed and began violently slashing at Frisk with the intent of turning him into swiss cheese. Naturally he dodged every single blow with seemingly no effort, leaving Raynare even more nettled and Asia amazed.
N-No way... Frisk's dodging all her attacks... h-how can he do that!? The Nun wondered, barely able to believe what she was seeing. Frisk almost seemed to dance around Raynare's blows with a strange kind of grace, but as Asia watched, she started to wonder about something.
I-Is Frisk not going to fight back?
Frisk ducked under another swing that was meant to take his head off. He then realised that his face was inches form Raynare's chest and a blush exploded onto his face before he slammed his eyes shut. A savage grin formed on Raynare's face the moment she saw this and she raised the glowing spear in her hand. "TIME TO DIE!" She yelled and swung the spear straight down, intent on carving Frisk in two.
"Frisk!" Asia cried in horror as the spear descended and then shattered when it hit the bone sticking out of the ground.
...
...
...
W-Wait... Asia blinked in confusion. Raynare was as equally confused as to why a pure white bone the size of a man was sticking out of the ground in front of her. She stared at it for several seconds, unable to actually comprehend what she was seeing. Then she spoke, and what she said were words of true wisdom, words that truly touched all those who heard them on a deep, philosophical level and moved them to consider their place in the universe and shook the very foundations of creation.
"The fuck?"
"THERE YOU ARE HUMAN!" A voice cried. Raynare, Frisk and Asia all turned their heads to see a skeleton sprinting across the street towards them. Frisk grinned.
"Papyrus!" He said cheerfully. "Why are you here? I thought you were cleaning the house."
"LOOKING FOR YOU, OF COURSE. I'D JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE HOUSE AND WAS GETTING READY TO RELAX WHEN I REALISED I'D FORGOTTEN THE WIFI PASSWORD AND SANS CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT IS EITHER SO I CAME TO ASK YOU." The skeleton replied cheerfully. "THANK GOODNESS I GOT HERE WHEN I DID, THAT LADY SEEMED TO BE TRYING TO ATTA-" Papyrus froze halfway across the road when he saw Raynare and, more specifically, her outfit. Instantly he raised a finger and pointed it at her. "YOUNG LADY! IT IS HARDLY APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO BE WEARING CLOTHES LIKE THAT IN A PLACE LIKE THIS, MUCH LESS IN FRONT OF CHILDREN! I SUGGEST YOU CHANGE AT ONCE INTO SOMETHING MORE APPROPRIATE!" Papyrus declared, turning his head away from Raynare. He then noticed the falling feathers and the colour of the sky. "IT'S RAINING FEATHERS? THE SURFACE HAS SOME VERY STRANGE WEATHER." The fallen Angel blinked and just stared at the skeleton, too stunned to try and mount an attack.
What... the... hell...?
"A... A talking skeleton?" Asia asked, staring at Papyrus in both fear and wonder. The moment he grinned at her, the former emotion evaporated.
"GOOD AFTERNOON MISS! IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU!" The skeleton bolted over to the Nun, who Frisk was now standing next to. "MIGHT I ASK FRISK, WHO IS THIS HUMAN?"
"Her name is Asia Argento." Frisk explained. "She's a new friend I made!" He gestured to the skeleton. "Why don't you introduce yourself Papyrus?" Papyrus' grin seemed to get bigger somehow.
"OF COURSE!" Papyrus drew himself up to his full height and placed his hand on his chest. "GREETINGS HUMAN. IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" The skeleton declared in a loud, boisterous voice. He then stuck out a hand and grabbed one of Asia's before he shook it so fast their arms turned into blurs. "IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU! ANY FRIEND OF FRISK'S IS A FRIEND OF MINE!" Asia stared at the skeleton for a few seconds before she smiled back.
"A pleasure to meet you too Papyrus!" She said cheerfully, the thought of making another friend (even if it is a skeleton) cheering her up immensely. Even though one should naturally be brown-your-trousers-and-run-as-fast-as-you-can-in-the-opposite-direction scared of a skeleton that can walk and talk, Asia didn't feel the least bit afraid of Papyrus and in fact felt safe around him. "I'm glad we're friends!" Asia gave him a sweet smile and Papyrus' grin grew.
"OF COURSE! WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE GREAT AND AWESOME PAPYRUS?" The skeleton declared, puffing his chest out a bit more. Asia giggled softly at his declaration and Frisk just smiled. The skeleton turned to Frisk. "FRISK, I NEED TO START PREPARING DINNER SOON, SO WE SHOULD PROBABLY GO HOME SOON. ALSO I ASKED SANS TO CLEAN THE LIVING ROOM AND I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT HE MIGHT'VE MADE THE ROOM EVEN MESSIER." He then looked at Asia. "ASIA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH US? IT'S SPAGHETTI, COOKED BY NONE OTHER THAN YOURS TRULY!"
"Sure!" The Nun said cheerfully. "That sounds lik-"
"WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE!"
The trio turned to see Raynare seething with anger and hatred and glaring daggers at them. "You aren't taking her anywhere... she's coming with me!" The fallen Angel snapped angrily. "I've had enough of this today. Obviously you aren't a normal human, but once your dead it won't matter." Raynare gripped the spear of yellow light in her hand tightly. Frisk started walking towards the fallen angel, a smile on his face albeit with a determined look in his eyes.
"Please, I don't want to fight you." Frisk said, but immediately had to duck as Raynare charged him and tried to take his head off. He then had to hop from foot to foot as he dodged several more of Raynare's slashes, all of which were getting progressively more and more wild as her anger started to blot out her reason.
"HOW!?" She screeched as Frisk dodged another violent swing. "HOW ARE YOU DODGING MY ATTACKS!? YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A MERE HUMAN!" She howled as she kept attacking. A slash at the neck, duck underneath. Stab at the torso, quick backstep. Strike at the shoulder, side-step. These were just a few of the evasive maneuvers that Frisk was employing. After nearly half a minute Frisk started to notice Raynare's slashing speed was starting to drop. The intensity of her blows was lowering, and her breaths became shallow, faster and ragged.
Her next slash was so slow and badly aimed that Frisk didn't even need to take more than a short step to dodge it. Raynare collapsed to her knees on the ground in front of the human, her whole body shaking from a combination of rage and exhaustion. For a few moments, Frisk just stood there and watched her as she struggled to get her breath back. She lifted her head and looked him in the face. For about 3 seconds, she glared at him with all the anger and hatred that she could, her eyes burning with the fury of the sun.
Then it faded. Her shoulders sagged as the anger in her body bled out, the spear of light in her hand faded into nothingness as her hand opened and her gaze fell, her eyes now on the ground as her defiance faded.
"Do it then." She said in what was her attempt at a flat, emotionless voice, but she'd failed even in that, as fear permeated her tone, and the shaking of her body was now motivated by fear. "You've won. Kill me." A part of Raynare's mind was screaming at her that what she was doing was insanity, that she, Raynare, the Fallen Angel, would never surrender to a mere, filthy, pathetic human. It demanded that she summon up a spear of light and continue attacking the human. It demanded that she continue on to her goal of stealing Asia's sacred gear to ensure that she would be of greater use to Azazel. It demanded that she stand up and fight.
But she didn't listen to what it had to say. This human boy... he had beaten her. She had failed to land a single blow on him, and somehow that completely crushed her will to fight. Part of her mind wondered if he was brainwashing her somehow, using magic to make her give up so dealing the final blow would be easier... bu-
"Why would I want to kill you?" Frisk asked, genuinely sounding confused.
Raynare's head snapped up in shock and she looked at Frisk, eyes wide. She blinked several times as she just stared at him. Why would I want to kill you? The words echoed in her mind.
"B-Because you defeated me..." She said, her tone equal parts fearful and confused. Frisk raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with friendliness and a hint of seriousness.
"So? Just because I win doesn't mean I have to kill you. Besides, I never wanted to kill you in the first place, I actually just wanted to talk." He said in a rather casual tone, as if he were discussing the weather.
"B-But-" Raynare's self preservation instinct was screaming at her to shut up and accept what the boy was doing, and her cruelty instinct was screaming at her to attack the boy now, but the rest of her mind was so confused that neither of those ideas got carried out. Frisk then lifted his right hand and Raynare flinched, instantly recoiling and slamming her eyes shut as the boy lifted his arm. She braced herself for it, the killing blow, and wondered if she'd even feel it. Would there be pain, or would it just end?
Several seconds past... and nothing.
The Fallen Angel slowly opened her eyes to see Frisk was extending a hand out towards her, as if offering help. His eyebrow was raised again.
"What's wrong?" He asked. Raynare stared at him and then at his hand.
"W-What are you doing?" she asked, utterly confused by the situation. Frisk frowned and tilted his head slightly.
"I'm offering you a hand." He said. "After all, sitting like you are on the ground isn't really good for your knees, so I'm offering to help you stand up so you don't hurt yourself." Raynare blinked at the human, the cheerful tone of his voice and the grin on his face confusing her.
"I-I..." Frisk's smile softened and he cocked his head to the side slightly. In that moment, Raynare looked into the boy's doe brown eyes and her whole body froze. His shining brown orbs bore no trace of malice, anger or hatred, but were filled to the brim with warmth, friendliness, gentleness and a strange kind of innocence. Raynare blinked several times as she stared at the boy, and she felt something change inside of her. The feelings of wickedness and selfishness, that had long festered in her heart, as well as an insatiable lust for power, slowly began to burn away, cracking the shell of evil that had formed around her heart, and in their place a new feeling rose.
It was a strange yet warm feeling, and with each passing second that she stared into Frisk's eyes it grew stronger. Confusion welled up inside of her, and only increased with each passing second. Slowly she started lifting her left hand to take Frisk's, and the sky started to flicker between purple and blue. Frisk's smile grew.
Only for a spear of light to force him to jump backwards. The sky turned fully purple again as he did so.
"Tch." A man wearing a trenchcoat and fedora said as he landed next to Raynare, his black wings out on display. "A lowsy human is offering you help?" He sneered, holding a spear of light in his right hand. Frisk blinked as he stared at him and then his eyes widened in amazement.
"Oh wow... you've got wings too!?" He asked, excitement in his voice. The man threw a spear straight at his head in response, and his eyes visibly widened when Frisk dodged it with no apparent effort.
"Hehe... looks like this human isn't such an easy target." A short, twin-tailed blond haired girl wearing a short-skirted dress said as she landed next to Raynare as well, her wings also on display. "Either that or you just can't aim anymore." She said mockingly, directing the comment at the fedora man. Said man growled.
"Shut it. Kill the boy, chop the skeleton to pieces, get the nun. We need her sacred gear." The man said. Frisk and Papyrus both frowned whilst Asia started shaking slightly in fear.
"F-Fri-" She started.
"Sacred gear?" Frisk asked, tilting his head to the side and unknowingly cutting Asia off. The girl giggled, but it wasn't even remotely cute.
"Sorry, but if you don't know what that is now, you'll die without ever finding out." She hurled a spear at Frisk who, unsurprisingly, dodged it without effort. Raynare was just looking down at the ground, electing looks from the other two Fallen Angels.
"Aren't you going to fight Raynare?" Trenchcoat man asked, despite his tone suggesting he didn't really care about the answer.
"Just leave her, she's probably depressed that she couldn't hit a mere human." The blonde girl asked.
"Tch, you'd be acting the same if you'd failed to hit a human." Fedora man shot back.
"I would not!" Dress girl shot back. Papyrus was analysing the situation carefully as they bickered, and soon came up with a cunning plan, one which would go unrivaled for all of time in its complexity. He reached forward and grabbed Frisk's arm before informing him of his master plan.
"HUMAN, I THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE. SANS MIGHT START TO WORRY SINCE I TOLD HIM I'D ONLY BE 5 MINUTES." The Skeleton said.
Frisk nodded in agreement to this tactical genius.
"Sounds good. Don't want Sans to get worried." He turned to Asia. "Do you still want to come to our house?" He asked. Asia blinked and stared at the brown haired boy for a moment before she replied.
"Um... yes please, I would like to very much!" She said, trying to sound cheerful.
"EXCELLENT! I ASSURE YOU, MISS ASIA, THAT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED BY THE SPAGHETTI COOKED BY NONE OTHER THAN THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" Papyrus declared in his usual bolsterous but sincere voice, electing a small giggle from Asia.
"Anyway, we'll be taking the nun back. We need her for something very important." The blond fallen Angel said, cutting into the conversation. Raynare lifted her head to look at Frisk, Asia and Papyrus as they faced down her Fallen Angel allies. As Raynare looked at Asia, the thoughts of what she was going to do to the young, innocent nun flooded her mind, and a strange emotion welled up inside her, one that was completely foreign to her. J-Just who are you human? She wondered.
"Sorry, but we've invited her to dinner so she can't come with you." Frisk said nonchalantly. His eyes brightened. "Hey... you can come over for dinner too!"
A spear of light nearly embedding itself into his face showed the Fallen Angels opinion on that offer.
"You aren't going anywhere." The fedora man said. "Don't try to run, because you'll neve-" He immediately stopped talking when he realised a small problem.
Frisk, Asia and Papyrus were gone.
"-SUGGEST NOT GETTING TOO COMFORTABLE AROUND SANS. HE LIKES PLAYING JOKES ON PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING IT." Papyrus explained to Asia as the group casually walked away from the Fallen Angels.
"HEY WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?" The blond haired Fallen Angel screamed before she charged off after them, a spear of light in her hand. The man with the Trenchcoat quickly followed, prompting Frisk and Papyrus (who was now carrying Asia) to start running. Raynare however, remained motionless and simply watched the unusual trio run away, being chased by two of her comrades. The strange feeling from earlier surged again, but now she'd figured out what it was. Something that Frisk had somehow managed to instill into her with nothing but a simple smile (and dodging all her attacks).
Hope. Hope for a better life, one not ruled by the petty desires she'd once had.
So uh... yeah that's this chapter done. Now before you scream *IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS AND WE GET A CHAPTER THIS SHORT? (Incomprehensible screaming and gathering of pitchforks)*, or the fact it's only one scene well... I'm sorry. I am so sorry about how late this update was, and how it took me three+- months to get something new out, but as I said in the beginning, I PROMISE to get at LEAST ONE Chapter out a month. If I can't keep that promise... well then... I'll just stop playing video games until I can keep it.
So now we're back, and I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I actually had to re-write it like 3 times, since I couldn't figure out how to do most of it the way I wanted to, but I'm happy with how it turned out. The whole thing with Raynare, well as seen in Undertale, Frisk can make people have a change of heart simply by often not even attacking them, and with Raynare, his friendliness and kindness kinda just rubbed off on her. Frisk won't actually fight anyone, since it's not his nature.
I'm hopeful that I can get a second chapter out this month, which will tie up the events here and get us back to school, where Frisk owes Koneko some Spaghetti. Anyway, regardless of when that happens, again I am sorry this took forever to come out, I hope you enjoy it, and I will see you in the next chapter!
Adios!
