Chapter Seventeen: All Out

With Frisk and Chara

"So" Frisk said, laying (rather uncomfortably) on Chara's broken bed, flexing her fingers in her pink gloves. "Should we do something about that weird fanfiction Alphys wrote?"

"I'll delete it later." Chara said shrugging.

"That's good." Frisk said. "That was really weird."

"I know." Chara said. "It kind of makes me want to send her to a therapist. I mean, what would I do with a hundred feet of rope?"

"Not sure." Frisk said.

"Though" Chara said, thinking. "It kind of makes me wonder what my mom is doing."

With Asriel and Khara

"Asriel." Khara said, spreading her arms out wide, palms up as a black spirit circle appeared under her. "It's time I show you why they call me the Demon's Maiden."

The spirit circle cracked, darkness spilling from the cracks in both light form and in a sort of liquid form. The liquid darkness latched onto Khara's boots, veining up them and spreading over her body. Khara grinned as the very light around her seemed to be drained away, being replaced by the power Khara began emitting. It was a dark, evil power that seemed to chill the whole room a little bit. The darkness entered her open mouth, also moving over her eyes.

The darkness began to drag Khara into the spirit circle. Khara remained unmoving as she was pulled into the dark light being emitted from the circle. When she fully disappeared, the spirit circle disappeared with her. Asriel looked, confused as to what this was accomplishing and worried that Khara might be dead.

However, these emotions were soon replaced with a different feeling, a slight fear, as the ground on the Judgement Hall split open, black light being emitted from it. A demonic looking figure emerged from it.

Her skin was as black as soot, the sheer opposite of Khara's. She wore black armor that was spiky. A black, tattered cape was flowing like in a breeze, attached to the figure by a dark green upside down heart clamp. On her chest was a very dark green, upside down heart. This heart, however, had a jagged crack down it, which separated the two halves of it. Her gloves were black, ending in sharp points due to her claws. Her hair was a very, very dark brown and waving like it was being electrified. Her mouth was in a grin, her teeth all pointed. One was longer than the others. Her ears now were blacker than they were, especially being contrasted and highlighted by her hair. The scariest thing about her, however, was her eyes. They were black, even blacker than her skin, black demonic fires being emitted from them. The pupils of the eye had morphed into blood red slits that seemed to pulsate. Her very aura seemed to darken the room around her, draining the light from it.

"So" she said, grinning. "Do you like my form?"

"It's pretty badass." Asriel said, grinning as well. "But, is it powerful enough to beat me?"

"Trust me." Khara said. "I'm gonna give you the best fight you've had in your entire life."

"Let's do it." Asriel said, getting into a fighting stance.

The two of them lunged at each other, throwing punches that shook the entire Underground. Monsters ran, panicking toward the furthest place from the Judgement Hall: The Ruins.

Khara called a large amount of dark magic to her hand, Asriel summoning fire magic to his. They threw them, the spheres of magic striking each other, exploding in a huge explosion that engulfed the two of them in smoke and flame. Several monsters were looking in to see what was going on and saw the explosion. The eagerly waited to see what would happen, to see if one of their heroes could win this fight.

The smoke began to dissipate, revealing the two standing figures of Khara and Asriel, neither of them hurt or even fazed. They stood, staring each other down, Khara's cape moving like a breeze was flowing.

Asriel then summoned his Chaos Buster sword, which looked like a strange sword made of fire. It was white and was about four feet long.

Khara summoned an evil looking sword made of dark magic that curved in a sinister fashion. Blood seemed to be running down the blade, but it was unclear whose it was.

Both of them lunged forward, making powerful slashes at each other. Their swords collided, the sound of the collision not unlike that of a lightsaber. They both pushed against each other, leaning forward to try to gain an advantage, but neither could.

Khara suddenly kicked her leg up, catching Asriel in the chest and offsetting him, giving Khara the perfect opportunity to land a dark magic infused punch on his face. She then grabbed him by the arms, kicking him hard in the chest again. Asriel flew backwards, hitting a column. Khara rushed forward to throw more punches, but Asriel fired a powerful burst of fire magic, which hit her. She was pushed backwards by the force of the blow, but mostly unharmed.

"You're pretty tough." She said, grinning. "I can't remember the last time I had this much fun in a fight."

"You think I'm good" Asriel said, chuckling. "You should see your daughter."

"Oh, I will." Khara said. "Soon. But, right now, let's finish our fight."

"Right." Asriel said, firing a ball of fire at Khara, who deflected it with her hand. Asriel then moved around behind her, throwing a powerful punch towards Khara's head. Khara ducked, spinning around and roundhouse kicking Asriel in the chest. Asriel grabbed Khara's foot after the blow had made contact. He swung her around, striking her on the ground and a few pillars. He finished it off by spinning her foot rapidly and causing Khara to be thrown off her feet. The Nekomon demon landed on her stomach, rolling over to avoid the punch from Asriel. She sweep kicked, knocking Asriel off balance. She leapt on top of him, throwing punches that both hit and missed. Asriel knocked her off after about fifteen seconds, Khara flipping herself to right her body.

They rushed toward each other, throwing punches infused with their respective magic. However, this time, they caught each other's fists, lunging as they pulsed powerful magic from their hands in an attempt to overpower each other. However, Khara, having far more experience when it came to using her LV to its fullest extent, focused her magic on a single point. Piercing through Asriel's hands. Asriel cried out in minor pain as Khara grabbed him by the wrists, swinging him around, smashing him on the ground and on pillars similar to what he did with her earlier. To end her combo, she leapt high into the air, holding Asriel by his chest armor. She began to fall, her and Asriel's combined weight causing them to fall pretty rapidly. Just before impact, however, she slammed Asriel's body into the ground, making a large crater and causing a minor earthquake in the Judgement Hall.

Asriel simply lay in the crater for some time, a little dazed and actually amazed that Khara had managed to actually make him feel this much pain in this form. Though he wasn't as powerful as when he had seven human SOULs, he was still very powerful and it took a lot for him to hurt, similar to Chara entering her own demonic form.

"I'm actually amazed." Khara said, standing over Asriel, her hands on her hips. "There has never been an opponent I've faced that can match me for this long in this form, despite my lack of ability to use my full LV. I must say, when Chara told me how you were extremely powerful, I never believed her when she said it was this powerful. I didn't think I'd have to use my Demon's Maiden form to fight you at your full form, but still. You may not be a match for my full power, but you've given me a fight I've enjoyed all the same."

"You should have seen me when I had seven SOULs." Asriel said, chuckling as he started to get up to continue.

"I wouldn't stand up." Khara said, her tone warning, but not threatening. "That blow may have caused you a lot of internal damage. You may be extremely powerful, but that attack is still able to cause serious damage to DEMONS. I wouldn't try to move very much."

"This isn't over yet, Khara." Asriel said, standing up. Using his powers he could sense that he had minor internal damage; not bleeding, just a couple lightly fractured bones.

"You know this is just intense sparring, right?" Khara said. "We're not actually fighting to the death."

"I'm gonna fight until I go unconscious." Asriel said, grinning. "I know you would."

"I'm a little different." Khara said. "I'm literally empowered by demonic energy. My healing factor is much faster than yours, even with powerful monster food. You're the best fight I've had in years, though, so let's finish this one another day."

"That sounds nice." Asriel said, taking a deep breath as he shifted back to his original form.

Khara held her arms out by her sides, the darkness wafting off of her and rising up into the air. As it did, her original form returned. A spirit circle appeared on the ground, the darkness moving to it, absorbing into the circle and turning it darker. Once all the darkness was absorbed into the circle, the circle disappeared.

Asriel collapsed from his injuries. Khara, who was slightly injured, moved over to Asriel, catching him and holding him.

"To think." She thought to herself, chuckling with a small smile on her lips. "He's Tori's kid and he can dish out that much violence. Reminds me of how she used to be back when we were war buddies in the First Great War. Man, the Demon's Maiden and the Servant of Death, those were good times. Funny how she's much softer than before. Asgore must have been the reason for that, the big weenie."

Khara teleported with Asriel to the couch in the living room, placing him down on it. She pulled a blanket over him, sitting down on the chair next to the couch.

"What happened to him?" Chara asked, coming into the room with Frisk.

"We had one hell of a fight." Khara said, grinning. "He sure can pack a punch."

"Seems like he lost." Chara said, crossing her arms.

"It was a draw." Khara said. "We weren't trying to kill each other."

"But, he's still the one unconscious." Chara said.

"Yep." Khara said. "By the way, I need to train with you sometime soon. I need to teach you to control your dark magic and bring it to its full potential."

"Cool." Chara said. "Now, Frisk is gonna go distract Alphys and Undyne while I delete that fanfiction she wrote of the two of us."

"Oh, I read that." Khara said, trying to stifle her laughter. "I'm surprised Alphys actually wrote something like that."

"Watches way too much hentai." Chara said, sighing.

"You want help with that?" Khara asked. "I can tell it made you uncomfortable, especially (*grinning*) the way Frisk is blushing right now. I mean, if you two want to take things slow when it comes to having a relationship, go ahead."

"I haven't even really decided who I want to date yet." Chara said, Frisk nodding in agreement.

"I don't care either way" Khara said, putting an arm around both Frisk and Chara and smiling. "so long as you're happy. I was just messing with you when I made that joke (I'm a mother, it's my job). It is still kinda funny how Frisk smells so much like you, Chara. It's almost like you wear each other's clothes."

"We did that once." Frisk said, laughing. "Chara's clothes felt really itchy."

"Yours did too." Chara said. "It was Sans."

"Makes sense." Frisk said. "So, should we go get rid of that story now?"

"Yep." Chara said. The three of them made their way upstairs, thinking up an epic plan to commence.


so, Khara's pretty powerful. Wonder how much of that Chara inherited? Well, find out soon (not next chapter most likely).
