Let's have an history lesson, shall we?
Chapter four: Disclosure
One single night, and all the monsters knew that their king, Asgore Dreemurr, and their ex-queen, Toriel, will fight each other.
Monster children were excited, seeing this fight like a friendly duel, but other monster were terrified: they could never predict that the once perfect couple would fight.
The only thing they hope is that neither the king or the queen would be severly injured. A giant crowd was growing in the Hotland, the CORE was oddly brighter that usual?
On the middle, Asgore was waiting for his opponent to show up, his eyes closed crossing his arms. He decided to wear his royal outfit for his battle.
Our favourite group was in the border between Waterfall and Hotland (Where Frisk fought against Undyne).
Alphys: Are you sure t-this would be alright? Don't f-forget h-he almost k-killed sans..!
Undyne: You have nothing to worry about Alphys. I'm sure Asgore won't kill Toriel! It will be alright!
PAPYRUS: IT SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF FAITH ON THE KING UNDYNE!
Undyne: Of course! He raised me after all! I don't think that I would be the same without Asgore.
Toriel:…
When they made it to the location, they were surprised by the huge crowd. Without a word, Toriel started walking towards Asgore, who remained silent.
Undyne: How the hell do they know about the fight?!
Alphys: I-I got a bad feeling about t-this…
Mettaton: Have you forgotten that I was in the same room as you when the two darlings announced the duel?
Alphys:*facepalms* I should've guessed…
Undyne: Ugh, don't tell me you made the monsters know about Asgore and Toriel's fight by your M.T.T chain?!
Mettaton: My, my! You're much clever than you look my dear Undyne.
Undyne:*summons her spear* Are you picking a fight?!
Alphys: Undyne, c-calm down! D-do you realize w-what you h-have done Mettaton?!
Mettaton: Alphys, Alphys, Alphys. Like you told you soooo many times, that's exactly what my viewers want: drama, action, romance and of course, bloodshed!
Asgore and Toriel are fulfilling those roles at perfection!
Asriel: No! It's even worse in dad and mom's case! If one or the other gets killed, the monsters will lose HOPE one more time! *looks at Frisk*
You were here when they got into an argument, you know dad is serious! If this fight gets longer, he will snap into a blood thirsted monster!
Alphys: B-but even if he has changed, Asgore isn't like t-that!
Asriel: … As long as Chara doesn't interfere in this fight, we have nothing to worry about, I think…
Frisk: Asriel, If you didn't tell anything about Chara to the others, don't waste anytime now before i'ts too late!
After he felt fear and anger on Frisk's voice because of his former sibling, Asriel agreed to reveal to the others the heavy secret on Asgore, and Chara…
Meanwhile, Toriel has reached Asgore. When two meters has separated the two soon to be opponents, Asgore clacked his fingers and a cercle of flames was surrounding them, cutting them of the audience.
Since they were losing time, Asriel was finished explaining to the group that Asgore has made a pact with Chara, promising to add more when the fight would end.
Those flames were forming a barrier in order to prevent any who could interrupt the moment he was waiting for.
Undyne recognized that barrier when she throwed her spear which broke at contact.
Undyne: What the..?! Dammit, we can't reach them now! They are stuck!
PAPYRUS: MAYBE IF WE SPRAY SOME WATER, DO YOU THINK THAT THE FIRE WILL TURN OUT ?
sans: since we are in a place where it's really hot, it will just fire you out.
PAPYRUS: SANS! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO SAY SUCH HORRIBLE PUNS!
sans:*shrugs* i'm not joking bro, if that's the case, i'll just say « sorry, can't help myself ». what i'm trying to explain is that won't be useful,
this is a magic barrier and the only way to break it is to use powerful magic as well. if asriel's right, then we have a real problem.
Alphys: We c-can't do a-anything since A-Asgore has set up a barrier!
Frisk: There must be another way… *thinks and gasps* sans! Use a Gaster blaster to break the magic barrier, now!
sans:*widens his eye sockets in shock* but, how did you—
Frisk: Don't ask me, do it now! We can't let Chara take control on dad!
Asriel: Wait Frisk! We can't do this, there are too many monsters in here! If sans uses the Gaster blasters, some innocents might get hurt or think we'll attack dad or mom!
sans: i don't know how you two could know this but i don't care, for now… don't worry kid, my blasters are very precise, they won't hurt anyone.
Asriel: *looks at Asgore and Toriel* I hope so…
Frisk: I understand how you feel Asriel, I'm feeling the same thing as you… But if Chara takes dad's body, the entire Underground, all the living beings of this world are damned!
Everyone was frightened by Frisk's panicked tone. Chara must have traumatized her if she is on a state like this.
Asgore, still ignoring the first fallen child's plan opened his eyes, staring at Toriel.
BGM: In My Way
Asgore: So, you've come…
Toriel:*stays silent and narrows her eyes*
Asgore: *stands up* Before we begin, I have a few questions to ask you…
Toriel: What…?
Asgore: It's true that I wanted to fight you here, but I didn't forced you to come, so why did you come here on your own? Aren't you saying that violence doesn't solve problems ?
Toriel: The kids need to be avenged. Long ago, I thought the pain would disappear, but your presence isn't helping. Because of you, the pain is still in my heart…
Asgore: So it's about vengeance then… You want to kill me for them ?
Toriel: *glares at Asgore* No, I don't want to kill you like you killed them. No, I want you to suffer like I did !
Asgore: Hmpf, well do your best…
Toriel: I also have something to ask you Asgore: why you wanted us to fight here especially ?
Asgore: Speak sense ?
Toriel: *sighs* I mean, we could have fought on the surface or any other place of the Underground…
Asgore: Well, If I wanted to fight in the Underground, it's to avoid drawing humans's attention. The reason why I wanted to fight you in Hotland, it's because the entire place means a lot to me…
Toriel: What do you mean ?
Asgore closed his eyes and has started walking around Toriel.
Asgore: Do you remember, Gaster?
Toriel: Gaster..? W.D Gaster? The former royal scientist? Our best friend with Gerson?
Asgore: *nods* Yes… After your flee, with Gaster, I was searching for another way to destroy the have discovered secrets of our world, like the humans's SOULS great power, or the force of the barrier against magic…I even met two of his children, who were just babies. I thought I could get over my losses… But life has decided to me more unfair with me and one fateful day… *stops walking* Gaster died…
Toriel's eyes widened of shock. She never known that Gaster has passed away. But then she realized it did made sense since she had no any sign of him since the monsters's freedom.
Her thoughts has vanished when Asgore continued his story.
Asgore: He fell down the CORE, his own creation… His children has disappeared… The whole Underground was in total despair. Everyone have lost their will to live…
But, my people's hatred towards humans has vanished among with Gaster… Mine too… Until now! Because of you, hatred and despair took over my heart!
Toriel: This is not a reason to claim violence! I can't believe that someone who pretends to not hurt anyone dared to make such a childish mistake!
Asgore:*glares at Toriel with red pupils* YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME !
The aura which made the entire group shiver last night came back. Asgore summon his trident which glowed redder and redder by each second.
Asgore: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO GIVE ME ANY LESSON ?!
BGM: Assassin's Creed: Enter The Animus
Fireballs went to Toriel as she shielded herself to prevent being hurt, making the fireballs vanish. When she opened her eyes to look at her ex-husband, she saw pure rage in Asgore's eyes, like last night… Around him, fire was all around the king, like it was playing with him. The fire was so hot that it made Toriel a little dizzy for several seconds. All the monsters were getting scared too, even the Mad Dummy, it's the second time since Asriel and Chara's death that Asgore got really angry. They knew that the fight is coming.
Asgore: I have been waiting for this since that damn barrier fell apart, and this time, I won't let my coward self take over my actions ! YOU ! *points at Toriel*You have abandoned the entire Underground to hide in the RUINS just because you disagreed with me ! You gave up trying to find a solution to liberate your people and instead of giving them a little of HOPE,you left giving them more despair ! When the six other humans came, I don't know how they were to you but to us some of them were destroying almost everything ! Only three of them, Undyne, Asriel when he was a flower, and sans managed to stop them once and for all ! I was willing to make a pact so I can give you a lesson and I won't stop until you learn anything, did I make myself clear ?! When the nightmare came to an end thanks to Frisk, you acted like you're an absolute goddess, like you did nothing wrong… I CANNOT stand it ! Show us your humility !
The truth is revealed. Shock has spread in everyone's mind and some shot glares at Toriel, since they thought she has just disappeared. Undyne and sans were confused, they can't remember the other humans before Frisk. She was the first human they saw. sans was thinking that maybe that was the reason why Asgore's karma ability almost killed him, but… he is certain that Frisk is the first human he met… Where is the truth? Toriel, remained silent and closed her eyes as flames surrounded her, like Asgore but less powerful. She was ready to fight !
This is it, the next chapter is gonna be long
