Well... this will be interesting...

The hero took a step forward. Asriel scoffed.

The hero was clad in armor, a cape, and had Hiccup's head in a mask that only covered the top half of his face, black ears sticking out the top. Night Fury wings spread from his back. A long tail with one red fin trailed behind. He only had one leg, but where a peg leg used to be, there was only white light in the shape of a Night Fury's leg. The hero glowed with a strange blueish tinge.

Asriel laughed, throwing stars at the hero.

"You really think you have any chance of stopping me?"

The hero dodged the stars with unnatural speed. He countered with plasma blasts released from his hands.

"Yes. We do."

Asriel held a strange looking gun. It let off a bunch of blasts. "Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic." The blaster let off one big blast, which missed the hero by a large margin.

The hero smirked. "Who's pathetic?" Another bunch of plasma blasts flew out from him, almost looking like they were coming out of nowhere.

Asriel dodged them easily.

The hero held out both hands, and swords of fire appeared. Asriel did the same thing, white swords appearing in his hands. The swordfight began, each attacking and dodging with perfect accuracy. It was clear they were evenly matched, despite Asriel having seven human souls. He let off a grunt of frustration.

"Oh, why won't you just quit?" He snarled past their blades, which were locked.

The hero grunted and with a surge of energy, unlocked their swords and cut Asriel's garment sleeve. "No giving up. We have to stay determined."

Asriel snarled and summoned lightning, and the hero dodged that. One struck him, and he didn't seem fazed. The battle then took to the air.

Asriel tore off his robe and sprouted wings. Armor appeared on his body, most of it with heart shapes on it. He had white gloves, and his horns got longer, his fangs grew longer. He took off and began to pummel the hero with comets of fire.

The hero opened his wings, taking off easily. The cape fell off and landed on the ground, armor was underneath with the skull pattern, now winged, etched on it. The hero flew around Asriel, faster in the air than on the ground. He blasted Asriel's colorful wing.

"You can't outspeed a Night Fury." He taunted.

Asriel snarled in return. "You can't kill a god."

The hero stopped, hovering in place. "And who said you were a god? You may be powerful, but you are not a god. You haven't defeated us yet. If you were a god, you would have escaped this place already." He held out a hand, but not to attack. "Let us help you. Stop this."

"No.." Asriel was starting to cry for some reason. "No! I have to escape this place! It's what they wanted!"

"They?" The hero stared at Asriel. "Who do you mean, they?"

Asriel stopped. Frozen. "Chara. They wanted to escape. They wanted too, but couldn't. They died trying. I have to finish it."

The hero lowered his head. "I'm sorry. Maybe this is just a story, like you say. It seems to be. If it is, then we really are trapped in a place where everything is planned. Asriel.. we can't get free. But if you want to be powerful, you'll be alone."

Asriel stared at him, eyes narrowing. "What do you mean?"

"Asriel. Once you absorb every soul and become a god, what then? You'll be alone in this world, powerful and alone."

That seemed to strike a nerve. "Alone?"

"What if you try to leave and fail? What if you are trapped in here?"

Asriel was crying. "No! I don't want to be alone!"

"The more power you get, the more alone you'll be." The hero held out a hand. "You don't have to be alone. We'll be your friends."

Asriel stared at him. "You will?"

The hero nodded. "Yes."

Asriel took the hero's outstretched hand. They stared for a long moment. Asriel smiled. The hero smiled. They both landed on the ground, wings folding neatly. Asriel shrunk down, horns disappearing. He was now wearing a striped shirt, and looked like a little kid.

"Thank you, Hiccup. Toothless. You are good friends. I'm not." He lowered his head and began to cry.

The hero hesitated for only a moment. He walked forward and kneeled down on one knee. He wrapped his arms around Asriel.

After a long hug, Asriel smiled up at the hero. "Thank you so much.. we'll be friends for a long time, right?"

The hero smiled. "Yes."

The hero suddenly let out a groan of pain and collapsed, clutching his heart. Everything began to go dark. Pain shot through his whole body.

Everything went black.

Hiccup was lying on the ground, surrounded by his friends. Toothless nuzzled him worriedly. Everyone else watched as his breathing got weaker and weaker.

The pellet that had hit his heart was still there, killing him slowly.

Toothless licked his face once.

After they had collapsed, they had separated back into two people again.

Asriel had released everyone's souls and gone back to being a flower. He was among those watching now, tears streaming down his face, dripping off of his petals. "No..."

Toriel was on her knees, softly crying. She silently hoped Hiccup would pull through. It wasn't looking good for him. "My child.."

Sans was crying too, promising Hiccup anything he wanted if he survived. "Pal."

Papyrus stood frozen, staring down at the armored Viking with a hopeless expression. "Hiccup..."

Undyne wasn't crying, but she wanted too. She refused to cry, she had to stay strong. "C'mon, punk, live."

Alphys wasn't watching. She was kneeling, looking away and crying.

Mettaton had joined, and looked surprisingly somber. "Darling..."

Asgore had his head bowed in respect for the Viking. "He helped us all."

Flowet spoke up, staring at everyone. "I'm sorry, everyone. I acted so terribly. He doesn't deserve to die. I won't let him." He looked at Hiccup's pale face. "I won't let him!"

Hiccup stopped breathing, going limp.

Toothless whined. "No.. Hiccup."

Flowey gritted his teeth. "We can do anything in this world. I will save you, Hiccup."

Flowey began to glow. The six souls came back, floating around him. "Save him. Please." Flowey was crying. "Save him! Save my friend!"

The souls took Flowey's energy, and gave it to Hiccup.

"Goodbye, Hiccup. Remember me. Go home." Asriel faded away.

Hiccup didn't move.

Everyone stared.

"N..nothing happened." Alphys frowned. "Guess he's gone.."

Hiccup took in a breath, and began gasping. Toothless's ears perked up.

He was alive.

Hiccup opened his eyes. Everything was a blur. He shut them again with a moan. He waited until he was more awake, then opened his eyes again. He saw Toothless's eyes staring down into his.

"Hiccup!"

Hiccup responded with another moan. His chest hurt. A lot.

"I almost lost you."

Hiccup stared at him in surprise. "What do you mean?" His voice was a murmur.

"You almost died." Toothless was upset.

Hiccup sighed and tried to relax.

"Where are we?"

"Asgore's castle. In the room with the beds. We took you here after you started breathing again." Toothless answered.

"Again?" Hiccup tried to sit up, only to have terrible amounts of pain go through his body. He fell back with a pained noise. "I stopped?"

Toothless nodded slowly. "Flowey saved you."

Hiccup's eyes filled with tears. "Asriel..."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Hiccup decided to get some more rest. They'd be headed home as soon as he was well enough. He needed to recover.

And.. ending it here.

Hope you like.
