In Frisk's mind—just after Frisk loses consciousness (note: this is to give a little explanation)

"Ah, come on, kid" a voice said to her, causing her to open her eyes. "Is that really all you've got?"

Frisk looked around her, but all she could see was a void.

"H-hello?" she called out. "Chara?

"Heya." The owner of the voice said, appearing beside her. It was Chara, but she was transparent.

"Why are you transparent like that?" Frisk asked.

"Well" Chara said. "I'm kinda just taking temporary residence here during this fight."

"Where are we?" Frisk asked.

"We're in your mind." Chara said. "You're almost dead. You're clearly gonna need a boost. You should use my power."

"Your power?" Frisk asked.

"Yeah." Chara said, grinning. "What, you thought that kiss was just for a little emotion? I transferred my essence into you, so you can use our combined powers with my help."

"What do I have to do?" Frisk asked.

"Take my hand.' Chara said, grinning. Frisk took Chara's hand, feeling a large amount of power enter her. It came so fast it began to hurt. She tried to stop it or at least slow it down.

"Don't fight it." Chara said. "It'll stop hurting when your body is accustomed to it. We're sort of joining our SOULs together for this."

"O-okay." Frisk said, nodding. "Let's stop her together."

Outside Frisk's mind—just after the end of the previous chapter

"Charisk?" Fortuna asked. "So, that other girl has something to do with it. But, how do you have this much power? You didn't even have this much combined."

"We'll show you." Charisk said, rushing forward and throwing a punch on Fortuna that nearly destroyed the building they were in.

However, Fortuna grabbed Charisk's fist, Charisk's eyes widening in surprise.

"You thought you'd automatically become stronger than me" Fortuna said, chuckling. "simply by combining your SOULs together? You truly underestimate my power then."

Fortuna punched Charisk in the face, a blow that would have broken the jaw of either Frisk or Chara. Charisk stood up, unhurt and lunged again. Fortuna blocked the blows, countering some.

"There is no way a child will beat me." Fortuna said, growling.

"Well then" Charisk said, getting into a fighting stance. "You better hope we're not gonna beat you. Cause that'd ruin your reputation."

Charisk lunged at Fortuna, pulling back for a powerful Superman punch. The punch connected with Fortuna's face, sending her backwards into the wall. Fortuna fell to the ground, dropping to one knee.

"I will admit." She said, grinning. "This is the best fight I've had in years aside from my previous bout with Chara. You two truly are the most powerful beings to be chosen for my goal."

"What exactly is your goal?" Charisk asked, getting into a fighting stance, a mixture of dark and light magic in their hands. (A/N: I refer to Charisk as 'their/themetc' because Charisk is comprised of two beings, Frisk and Chara if you couldn't tell)

"I want to create a GOD." Fortuna said, grinning evilly.

"Good luck with that one." Charisk said, rushing forward once again. "We won't give you the chance."

Charisk threw a punch as Fortuna threw one as well. The punches collided, both light and mixed energy flowing from the point of impact. Both fighters were thrown back from the force of the blows, Charisk flipping over to right themselves. Both of them then summoned their respective energies to their hands, cupping their hands together by their sides. Orbs of their respective energies formed in the space in between their hands, getting to the size of a volley ball.

They fired the blasts, the blasts colliding in the middle, forming a large ball in the middle. However, after about thirty seconds, they stopped firing their blasts, Fortuna creating a blade from her magic and Charisk holding out their hand to call back the blade Frisk had dropped earlier. The blade flew into Charisk's hand, glowing slightly when Charisk closed their hand around the blade. Charisk grinned as they rushed forward, pulling back for a powerful two handed strike. Fortuna blocked the blade, but just barely, Charisk's power pushing the blade forward.

Fortuna kicked the Halfling in the chest, knocking them backwards. Charisk got up, more angry than hurt, and swung their blade, throwing a roundhouse kick at the same time. The attacks connected with Fortuna, the blade making a nice slice through Fortuna's midsection, which drew a large amount of blood.

Fortuna cried out in pain, Charisk grinning in response. Charisk then grabbed both of Fortuna's wrists and threw a powerful kick to Fortuna's ribs, which broke several of them. Charisk then followed up with a powerful uppercut to Fortuna's jaw.

"Now" Charisk said, their sword in their hands. "It's time to end you!"

Charisk plunged their blade deep into Fortuna's chest, twisting it as it went. Fortuna's face made an expression of extreme pain, but she could not scream due to the blade.

Charisk then ripped the blade out of Fortuna, blood flying out of the wound with the force of it. Fortuna dropped to her knees, collapsing from the wound. She closed her eyes, breathing out one last breath.

"It wasn't a pleasure knowing you." Charisk said, turning around and walking towards Chara's body, which was lying there on the ground.

Charisk kneeled over Chara's body, putting their hand on Chara's head.

Inside Charisk's mind

"Well, kid" Chara said, chuckling as she grabbed Frisk in a hug. "I guess it's time for me to go back to my own body."

"But" Frisk asked. "Weren't you dead?"

"Nah!" Chara said. "It looked that way because I came in here. Once I go back inside my body, everything should be fine."

"Oh." Frisk said. "Okay."

"Okay then." Chara said, grinning. "I'll head back and then we can—wait, what was that?"

In the real world

Charisk turned to look where the body of Fortuna lay. However, Fortuna's body was twitching. Her laughter could then be heard as the leader of the Order stood up, laughing as her body was soon enveloped in light. When the light faded, she was in white armor with a large green heart on the front. Her eyes were white with a grey sclera, her hair flowing like in a breeze. A grin of pure evil was on her face.

"Did you honestly think" she said, her voice darker and more commanding. "That I wouldn't have a plan for something like this? Come on, you two aren't the only ones who can harness DETERMINATION. Now, let's have a real fight."

Charisk charged once again, Fortuna grabbing their fist and punching them in the face, the blow nearly dislocating their jaw. Fortuna then punched them in the chest, breaking most of their ribs. Charisk crashed into the wall, heavily injured.

In Charisk's mind

"This is bad." Chara said, clenching her fist.

"We can't let it get to us." Frisk said. "I let her get to me for nine years and you saw the result of that."

"Yeah." Chara said, putting an arm around Frisk and pulling her close. "I did. But, we're gonna need a sh!t ton of power to beat her now. She's at least five times powerful than before and we were just barely able to beat her. We're at a serious disadvantage."

"Perhaps" a voice from behind the two girls said. "We can help with that."


So, Fortuna's not quite dead yet. It seems this battle will escalate further. But, who is that in Charisk's head? Find out soon.
