Not Friends, But Allys
-Ents POV-
'So i sat there, focusing. This time, i don't want the barrier to erupt, just break nicely. I looked behind me, and saw the king and fish lady standing up again, not looking happy. I setup a barrier around me, so i could focus. Well, the barrier only made it harder to focus. I had to keep strengthening it, because of so many attacks hitting it. 30 minutes in i turned around and expanded the barrier backwards, forcing the duo to move back. Good. Now i could focus on the task at hand. About 3 minutes later, the barrier began to crack. I could hear asgore and undyne being stunned.
Didn't matter to me. Finally, the last peice of the barrier disappeared. That was tiring. I had used about half of my ENTIRE magic reserve to just contain the force of all the magic of the barrier, and to break it. I turned back to Asgore and Undyne, still very much shocked."How? How did you remove the barrier?! Your just one human" Asgore was starting to cry. I could realize why. He had killed children, all innocent, just to break said barrier. Yet i broke it relativity quickly."Asgore, i suggest you announce this to the kingdom. Or actually, to your closest and most trusted people. Anyway, about how i broke it" I let the moment drag on.
"Mmmmmmaaaaggggiiiiiccc" I waved my hands around. Asgore and undyne didn't smile."While we thank you for freeing us...we will never trust you. In fact, if your barrier wasn't here" Asgore punched my green barrier. "We would kill you right now. But then again, it would be futile, would it not?" Woah hang on a second. They remembered the last timeline when i killed them all. Uh oh."YEAH PUNK! DON'T THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU FREED US MEANS WE FORGIVE YOU" Well shit, that's a new problem i have to deal with now. I waved my hand at them as i stood, remembering the strong magic i had sensed in my void."Fine, hate me, like i give 2 fucks. Anyway, i got better things to do" I started walking away. I could hear both of them feeling insults to me. Something around the lies of 'Filthy human mage'. heh i was no mage. As i walked out of the cave a second time, i couldn't help but admire the view.
Though, this time i noticed something else. At the base of the mountain, there was a small camp. I saw 3 people there. Not very old, probably around my age i'm guessing. I'm puzzled though as to why they are wearing military attire..."Ahem" Instantly, i blink a few yards back. I take survey of the group of 4 in front of me. All of them wear a black cloak with a line going down the right side of the cloak. Underneath, they wear casual clothes. They seemed surprised at my blink, and i mentally curse myself. I just gave myself away to a group of people that i could use magic great. I turned back towards the group of teens. By now, i was surrounded by the 7 of them in a semi-circle. I glanced around.
"Well, i guess we need answers. Anyway, where'd you come from?" I stuffed my hands into my cloaks pockets. Heh, similar cloaks. I'm starting to wonder..."I came out of the mountain back there, why?" The group looked noticeably shocked."The barrier is gone? How? We've been here for months, trying to break it!" They were trying to break it? Well then..."Why would you try to break it? Don't you know monsters are back in there? Also i broke it" They teens looked around at each other, i'm guessing they were trying to decide what to do/say." Well" One of the figures stepped forward."We were going to break the barrier, and eliminate the monsters" I stiffen, and its clearly noticeable. The wind howls around us, all of us silent.
I break the silence."So uh...your going to destroy them?" They smile"Of course! Monsters are a threat to human-kind! We were trained to eliminate them!" All around the group, i get similar answers."Well, lets just say, and, i'm just saying..." No no no nonononono! Dont finish that sentence!"If i were to not agree with you?" The teens stop talking, looking at me with...wow. A lot of expersions actually."Dont tell me...your fond of the monsters?" I start laughing at that. The group of 7 look visibly confused. I'm guessing they thought this wasn't going to happen."Buddy, listen." My expression gets serious."I already decimated the entire underground once...i'm not doing it again" At this, one person pipes up"So...it was you then."
I look at the figure, him clearly leading the others. Might i say im kinda shocked? Because there was a copy of me there."You have DETERMINATION aswell, and killed them all once" My copies gaze suddenly is filled with disgust."Then you decide to go back on what you did, because your fond of monsters" He spat at the word fond. I went rigid."Hey, man. Lets get something straight." I could literally feel all of the magic energy in the clearing rising. So...these were the magical signatures i felt."Im not fond of monsters, and i could give two shits about them"
"But then why-" I hold up my hand."Don't you know its rude to interrupt people that are talking? Anyway, i don't like them, but...i think they deserve better." Me and the group hold each others gaze. The wind is howling louder."very well then. If you chose to side with the monsters..." The group of 7 rush me."Then you must die" Now from here? pure. Fucking. Chaos. My magic blazed as i blinked at the speed of light around the oncoming sword, dagger wielder, and magic wielders. I had one problem though. 3 of the teens could teleport as well. So i had to keep up with all the attacks.
Things were going ok until i got hit once. I was dodging a slash of a dagger, when i got impaled by an energy dagger. It began to hum. Before i could pull it out, it exploded, ripping open my left side. From there, i tried dodging a sword swing. My right arm was cut off. I could see the teens had been very well trained, and well, here's a confession. They might've been as strong as me. I was urging my magic to flare, healing me and attacking. I was starting to get woozy. crap, well, here goes one for the offense! I instantly dropped my guards and began to viciously assault their group with everything i had.
Gaster blasters, shield encasing, space rifts, Everything. I was throwing everything at them. 2 of the teens got hit by a barrage of gaster blasters, instantly dropping them low on HP. YES! My victory didn't last though. I turned to my right, only for a FUCKING SWORD-. A FUCKING SWORD.-to be impaled into my left eye. I screamed in pain, my knees buckling. I kicked my attacker away, but also got snuck up by another person. Now, the attack they did? If i hadn't even at least protected myself, half of me would've been blown away. Yes, it was that strong. Anyway, i had turned to my left again, only to meet a giant barrel. It fired, and i barely summoned a shield to protect me. That attack left my left hand charred, and it was covered in 3rd degree burns. It launched my back into the hole. I had to do something, quick. It was evident that i wasn't going to win. As was thrown, i saw a group of monster watch me fly by, completely destroyed. I slammed through a wall, and hit a pillar in the judgment hall.
I was stuck there. I had very little remaining magic, and my healing magic wasn't ding me much good. I could only do 1 thing. The monsters were going to hate me, but i had no choice. I concentrated with every ounce of magic and DETERMINATION i had left to creating another barrier, if not a small one.
-Sans POV -
Everyone remembered the last timeline. The timeline were ent, no that freak, killed us all, just to "test things out" according to what frisk said. frisk went through the underground like they normally did, until she got to snowdin. I got a call from undyne, telling me to get papyrus and to meet us at the barrier, NOW. Heh, guess ent was doing something. I teleported to frisks side."Heya kid" Frisk jumped, and looked back at me."We got a problem, and i think it involves...ahem...ent." Frisk hated him. as did i. I wasn't going to forgive that dirty brother killer. I could forgive frisk, because i knew it wasn't them who had done it in the long run. Anyway, as me and frisk talked, frisks phone rang. She looked at it and smiled.
I looked at the call. Toriel. Frisk answered and i could hear her voice on the other end."Frisk? Could you please come and get me in the ruins? Asgore told me that a certain human is at the barrier, and they want help. If sans is with you, please bring him along alright?" Toriel hung up after that. I quickly teleported back to the ruins with frisk and picked up toriel. I then teleported us back to the kings throne room. Asgore and undyne were there. As well as alphys, mettaton, and papyrus."Alright to the matter at hand. How many of you remember?" Asgore was trembling slightly. I knew why. I dont know how, but ent fucked up somewhere when he reset, leaving everyone the memory that he destoryed the underground. Everyone looked at asgore.
They all remembered, no answers needed."Alright well...it appears that...human...set us free. The barrier is go-" Before asgore finished though, there was a huge bang, like a bomb going off. We looked twoards the gapping hole of the cave, seeing freedom literally within our reach. However, none of us expected to see ent. Ent, flying at us, looking like he was dead. All of our hate turned to confusion, then to shcom as we saw him
smash through a wall. He looked bad. We looked back at the cave entrance. 5 figures were approching, and they all had huge ammounts of magic. My magic flared a bit. If these bastards are here to hurt us to i swear ill-My thought was cut short. A barrier formed back where the old one had stood. It wasn't as solid, but it looked just as strong. Asgore gasped. He angrily turned around, heading back to the judgement hall, where ent was smashed into a pillar. We followed asgore. Geez what the hell was going on? As we entered the hall, we saw ent free himself and start to fall. Undyne and me both did the same thing. Spears and bones sprung up from the floor, impaling ent from every single different angle. Ent screamed in pain. I saw their HP bar. It was slowly being drained. Toriel didn't do anything but watch in horror, as did papyrus.
They knew ent had killed them, but they didn't know we were going to go rough on them. Ent was coughing very badly and started to twitch on the bones and spears, They disappeared and he fell. Undyne approached him first. She stiffened. I came over and saw ent. My eyes darkened. He was a mess. He was missing his right arm, his left arm torched to crisp. His left eye was closed and was bleeding while his right eye was barely open. He had a massive gash running from his left shoulder down to his thigh. And then, all the bleeding holes where we had impaled him. I kinda felt bad. What could've done this to him? I picked him up with my magic. His head slowly rose. He looked surprised."heya buddy. Its your wake up call" I lifted him higher, and brought my hand down. He smashed into the floor, screaming in pain. Everyone looked away as i did it over and over and over again.
I stopped and brought him level to my face." Now, why are you like that?" Ent starred at me with an unreadable expression. He started chuckling, and coughing up blood."Ha, so i save you guys...*cough* and this is what i get?" I slammed him down. Something deffienelty broke that time." Funny, how you killed us all last time."He started to sob"Look sans...please im sorry. I genuinely am. But i did protect you and everyone here. A spear shot out of the ground and impaled ent. I dropped my hold on them and let them hang there. Frisk was visibly crying as was papyrus and toriel. I turned back to them."You might want to look away." I summoned a storm of gaster blasters and undyne summoned spear after spear."Look just listen! Outside, there were 7 teens, with about as much power as me! Understand, please! I protected you! I-" Before he finished we let our attacks go. They all hit there mark.
Ent slumped to the ground, on his knees."Well, i guess i should have expected that from monsters. Not even letting me talk just like last time. Why did i think it would be different." His soul appeared out of his body. Something surprising happened. Ent turned to ash. He literally turned into ash. His soul then just disappeared. I looked back at frisk." hey frisk. can you reset now? Im done with this timeline." Frisk, however, was shaking. "sans...i...i cant reset. Someone else is blocking my ability!" Around me, the group of monster was confused. I however, knew what was up. Upon ents death, he lost a hold on the timeline, yet someone as strong as him had a hold of it instead."Of course you cant reset you fucking idiot" I turned back toward the voice. Ent just came out of a rift, looking good as new."And you want to know what? The problem outside of the barrier? Its no longer my problem"
Ent turned and began walking back into the underground."I suggest you guys hide. Like...HIDE. Those people out there? There gonna kill you all." Bones and spears flew at him, and they all hit their mark. Wait, he didn't dodge? Ent turned around, blood coming out of his mouth."I said i was sorry, but i don't think i can help you anymore. I also cant get out of here so...well good luck." Ent walked forward, then stopped."Oh yeah. You have about 24 hours for that barrier that i made to disappear. As to see that i'm hated, ill be taking my leave." I teleported in front of ent."Who sad you could leave huh?" Ent looked at me, his wounds healing."I did" Ent teleported away.
-Ents POV-
I teleported to a random location. I ended up face first in the ruins. I had died. I had really died. I turned to ash...then i just reappeared in my void. There was no point in helping these monsters now. But to leave this timeline...i had to destory it. Why didnst i just destroy it? Better yet...why couldn't i? On to more important matters...WHO THE FUCK WERE THOSE 7!? THEY GAVE ME A BAD FUCKING TIME!. I let lose a shock-wave of energy, my eyes dark red. They were going to regret fighting me, oh yes sir. I heard a pop behind me, and turned. Asgore, frisk, undyne and sans teleported behind me. I turned, my eyes still dark red. The squad flinched at the sight of them. I turned around, sighing. I calmed down, my eyes going back to their normal color. I stated walking away."Hey wait!" Frisk ran at me. I turned and they punched me. I looked at them with a murderous glare."now that's that out of the way..." frisk regained herself.
"What happened back there? You were nearly killed...even though you uhh.." I stopped them there."Listen, i told you. 7 humans outside the barrier i setup. they are BAD news. hide. Got it?" I turned and was about to blink away, but i collapsed. Undyne, sans, even asgore rushed me. I just layed on my back breathing hard. I dont care if there was snow behind me. Im tired."Hey buddy whats wrong? You look bone-tired" I lazily opened an eye."I did just come back from the dead, and fought and lost to 7 other people. How would you take that huh?" I closed my eye again."Look...i'm going to fight them again. If there's a reset, its because there's another human who has more DT than me or frisk. I gotta kill them first. When that happens, frisk has to regain control over the timeline." I stood up, brushing off the monsters trying to heal me."Pal listen, we may have our differences, i may hate you, but ill help alright?" I laughed a sad, cruel laugh."Sans, you wouldn't last a second against them!" Sans looked at me seriously."How would you know kid? Im stronger than i look"
I was dieing of laughter."Sans i killed you in under a minute. Put that into perspective." This earned a scowl from frisk sans ans the other 2 monsters present."Now imagine 7 other copies of me, some faster some stronger." I let that sink in."That's what i was fighting against. 7 other humans that are about as strong as me. I only killed 2 of them but...My determination has been holding back a reset from the human outside." I looked at sans."Do it" sans and frisk said at the same time."What...?"They looked at me with unreadable expressions."Do it, let them reset, well just try again. You cant give up...right?" I looked at them."Didn't you want me dead?" The 4 of them, asgore undyne frisk and sans starred at me with hard expressions."Yup, and we still do. But according to what you said, your our only hope soooo..." I looked at them."Alright then, see you on the other side."I lowered my DT, and the reset took place. I appeared back in the flower bed of butter cups. Frisk was already up, reaching a hand out to me. I guess if i wasn't there friend i was a temporary ally huh? Sure, why not?
Oh snap. Do you think ent can take these 7 humans on? Will he lose hope? Who even are the 7 humans? Why is one of them his clone? So many questions, no answers! Stay tune for chapter 12!
