Chapter Twenty Nine: Angel and Demon Part Eight: Transformation
Elsewhere
"So" Rachaya said to the two figures. "Why are we not allowed to chase after them?"
"Because" the first figure said. "They are about to undergo their transformation."
"I thought they already did that." The other demon that was with her said.
"The stage of the eyes is the first phase." The second figure said. "Next, they will gain the next segment of the transformation."
"And, what is that?" Rachaya asked.
"The second phase of the procedure" the first figure said. "is the stage of the body."
With Frisk and Chara
Frisk woke up, yawning. She looked at Chara, who was sleeping under her, one arm around her. Frisk reached for the bag she'd gotten at the mart the previous night. Pulling out the contents, she hid them behind her back.
Frisk then shook Chara awake gently. Chara blinked her eyes, looking up at Frisk. Frisk smiled, folding her arms as she leaned on Chara.
"What's up?" Chara asked, yawning herself.
"I've got something to show you." Frisk said.
"Oh really?" Chara asked. "What is it?"
"Close your eyes." Frisk said.
"Why?" Chara asked.
"Just do it." Frisk said.
"Sorry, kid." Chara said, moving Frisk's hair out of her eyes. "No can do."
"Please." Frisk said, making her eyes look sad and cute.
"Nice try kid." Chara said, chuckling. "The eyes don't work on me, no matter how cute they are. I'm not gonna just close my eyes, especially if whatever this thing happens to be is something you're going to put in my mouth."
"You would if it was chocolate." Frisk said, fake pouting.
"It's not chocolate." Chara said. "I'd have smelled it."
"Please close your eyes.' Frisk said once more.
"Alright kid." Chara said, sighing. "For you."
Chara closed her eyes. Frisk grabbed her item and used it.
"Okay." Frisk said. "You can open your eyes now."
Chara opened her eyes, her heart nearly stopping when she saw Frisk wearing a pair of brown cat ears. On top of that Frisk had kept the mock pouting face on, causing Chara's face to turn the color of the uniform she was wearing.
"How do I look?" Frisk asked.
"I think I'm having a heart attack caused by overexposure to cuteness." Chara said, smiling, her heart beating like a jackhammer. "I think I need mouth to mouth to help me get better."
"I guess that means they work." Frisk said, giggling.
"Well, kid" Sans said, teleporting into the room. "I think you found Chara's weakness."
Frisk turned as red as Chara, pulling up the covers to hide her blush.
"Sorry, kids." Sans said, teleporting out, the area on the bridge of where his nose would be a slight bluish color. "I'm just checking up on you. Had I known you were going to get PURRsonal with each other, I'd have made a FELINE for the opposite direction. (A/N: wooh! Two in one sentence. New record for me!)"
"Well, kid." Chara said, pulling the covers back over her. "I'm gonna get some more sleep. You just do whatever."
"Me too." Frisk said, getting under the covers as well. Soon, the two of them were resuming their peaceful sleep.
With Khara, Toriel, etc.
"There's some other things that don't settle with me." Khara said. "Those uniforms."
"What about 'em?" Undyne asked.
"Yeah.' Asriel said, thinking. "They kinda look like yours."
"Mine is a summoned armor." Khara said. "Made of magic and has my SOUL image on it. It's kind of like Undyne's Undying Armor. Those uniforms are physical, however, and have no magical properties. The entire thing just screams Order of the Three Hearts."
"The Order of the Three Hearts?" Undyne asked. "Who are they?"
Khara looked at the fish woman in actual shock.
"How do you not know what the Order of the Three Hearts is?!" she asked. "They were the biggest threat to the monsters in the Great War of the Barrier!"
"The history books stopped teaching about them a long time ago." Toriel said. "A lot of monsters figured that since some monsters equate them to all humans, they shouldn't teach about them."
"That's something to learn!" Khara almost shouted. "They killed countless monsters."
"But, Chara killed the leader." Asriel said. "It was Frisk's mother and she killed her."
"What?" Khara said, this fact being news to her.
"Her mother was involved in the organization." Asriel said. "In fact, that was the reason Frisk made it to the Underground. She ran away from her."
"What species was she?" Khara asked.
"Human." Asriel said. "At least she seemed human."
"Then, you're wrong." Khara said. "The leader of the Order was some individual I've never met. But, I know one thing: they weren't human."
With Frisk and Chara—later
Frisk and Chara slept in Frisk's bed, sleeping peacefully. Their arms were wrapped around each other, their breathing calm.
Suddenly and simultaneously, they clenched their eyes tighter, holding each other closer. Inside of them, their heart rate began to accelerate, rising as their internal temperatures rose up. Both Frisk and Chara began to sweat, the volume of sweat slowly increasing. Their bodies began to tingle. Their peaceful expressions changed to slightly pained expressions. Their very SOULs shuddered, undergoing some form of change. Both of their pairs of eyes spouted flames, Chara's releasing red and Frisk's releasing light bluish white.
The two of them opened their eyes, staring at each other, realizing that the other was in pain. They held each other, the only thing they could think to do.
"Wh-what's going on?" Frisk asked, her chest glowing a light blue color, the shine showing through her uniform she was wearing.
"I-I don't know." Chara said, her chest glowing a reddish color.
Their bodies began to levitate, shifting to a standing position (note: the room has a fifteen foot high ceiling). Their bodies were slightly repulsed by the energy they were emitting, pushing them back about five feet from each other.
They threw their arms and heads back, crying out in pain. Their backs ripped open, wings emerging from them.
The wings on Chara's back were black, leathery wings that sort of resembled bat's wings. They were about five feet each in span, from just above her shoulders to her ankles (they were stretched out to the sides currently). Their width was about a foot each and they were seemed thin and fragile, but were strong, nigh unbreakable.
Frisk's wings were white, feathery wings that resembled eagle's wings and were shorter than Chara's wings (Frisk is shorter than Chara). They were about four and a half feet, reaching from above her shoulders to her ankles (though, also stretching out to the sides). They were about a foot in width as well.
The two of them dropped to the ground, hitting the ground hard. Though they weren't near unconsciousness, they were in pain. They looked at each other, moving closer.
"You okay, kid?" Chara asked, putting her hand on Frisk's head.
"I-I think so." Frisk said. "You?"
"I've felt worse." Chara said, the pain beginning to subside. She looked at Frisk's wings, admiring them. She then noticed that she had a pair as well. She felt them, then feeling Frisk's.
"Why do you think we grew these?" she asked.
"Maybe the SOULs did this." Frisk said. "As part of that experiment."
"Well, whatever it is" Chara said. "We need to figure out how they work. If we don't do that, they're useless."
"Right." Frisk said, the two of them beginning to stand. They managed to fully stand, holding onto each other for support.
"So" Chara said. "The first thing to do is figure out how to make them work."
"I don't think we have enough room in here." Frisk said, looking around. "We should go outside where we can fully stretch them out."
"Right." Chara said, nodding. She grabbed Frisk's hand, teleporting the two of them outside.
"So" Frisk said, trying to figure out how to move her wings, which were hanging limp. "What can these do?"
"Maybe we can fly." Chara said. "I mean, they are wings."
"Maybe." Frisk said. Finally, she managed to get them to move, waving them and flapping them.
"How'd you do that?" Chara asked, amazed.
"I just did it." Frisk said. "I'm not sure how."
Chara tried and eventually succeeded in moving her wings. She began flapping them slowly.
"I wonder how powerful these are." Chara said. She flapped them as hard as she could downward once. The force of the thrust shot her ten feet up in the air. She fell back down to the ground, landing in the crouch position.
"Wow!" Frisk said, amazed. "Let me try."
Frisk flapped her wings, the force of hers, carrying her up about six feet.
"Maybe it's because I'm physically stronger.' Chara said. "That might be the reason why you can't get as high."
"I wonder if we could fly with these." Frisk said.
"If they can get us in the air that high." Chara said. "I wouldn't see why not."
With Khara, Toriel, etc.
"So" Khara said, thinking. "Should we go get them and ask questions."
"I guess so." Toriel said.
Toriel, Khara, and Asriel walked up to Frisk's room, opening the door.
"They're not here." Toriel said. She looked around the room.
"I think they're outside." Asriel said, looking out the window. "At least I think that's them."
Khara and Toriel walked over to the window to see Frisk and Chara standing in front of each other and stretching their wings.
"Wings?" Toriel asked. "Is this part of the demon state?"
"not one that I remember." Khara said. "But, more powerful demons and angels usually gain wings. Though, now I can sense more than one SOUL in them."
"I think" Asriel said. "Now would be the time to interrogate them."
so, they have wings now? What does this mean for them? And what were those figures talking about 'stages'? Who's the leader of the Order of the Three Hearts, if they are behind this? Will there be any further transformation? Find out soon.
