"What's down there?"
After the whole ordeal in the judgement hall, we had left and Madie had turned back to normal, breaking out in tears again and continuously apologizing, but now we stand in front of stairs that lead downwards as Alyssa points down there, questioning what could be down.
Kennedy sighs. "The human souls."
"What?!" Alyssa exclaims.
Kennedy nods.
"Wait, then where's Asgore?" Doug asks.
"Follow me," Kennedy instructs.
We walk into a garden like sort of room and see Asgore, his back turned to us.
Kennedy pushes Doug up front.
"Dum dee dum..." Asgore hums to himself. He seems to quickly notice us. "Oh? Is someone there? Just a moment! I have almost finished watering these flowers." Asgore waters the flowers a bit more. "Here we are!"
Asgore turns around, a smile on his face. "Howdy! How can I..."
Asgore's smile quickly fades as he sees us and he backs up.
"Sup?" Doug greets.
"Oh." Asgore turns so he is facing the right, but turns back. "...I so badly want to say, 'would you like a cup of tea?'"
"Actually, a cup of tea sounds great right now," Doug says.
"But...you know how it is," Asgore replies blankly.
"Come on, we don't have to be like that, now do we?"
"Nice day today, huh?" Asgore says in reply. "Birds are singing, flowers are blooming...perfect weather for a game of catch...you know what we must do. When you are ready, come into the next room."
Asgore walks out and into the next room.
Juliana quickly saves and we walk into the next room.
Doug
"How tense..." Asgore says. "Just think of it like...a visit to the dentist."
"So what you're saying is I'm going to hate it, because man I hate the dentist," I say.
"Perhaps..." Asgore walks into the next room.
I follow, everyone else behind.
"Are you ready?" Asgore asks, standing in front of a door. "If you are not, I understand. I am not ready either."
Asgore walks in and Juliana saves again.
I take a deep breath, stuff a few more chips into my mouth, then walk into the room.
The room looks...weird and bright...it hurts my eyes.
"This is the barrier," Asgore explains. "This is what keeps us all trapped underground. If...if by chance you have any unfinished business...please do what you must."
"I'm ready," I reply, determined.
"...I see...This is it, then." Asgore turns around. "Ready?"
Out of the ground, seven containers shoot out of the ground.
Six of them have souls in them.
But one is empty.
My soul appears and I am brought into battle.
"Human..." Asgore says. "It was nice to meet you. Goodbye."
Asgore pulls out his triton and...
"No!"
He breaks the mercy.
It's gone.
I have to fight him.
So we commence in battle and I know exactly what to grab to activate Soul Power.
Since I don't think I can get that trition from him, I just do the next best thing.
I grab a fireball.
And hold it in the air.
Orange starts to surround my body and I lift off the ground.
Then, everything goes dark.
When the light is back, I am transformed in a human Asgore self!
"Oh come on!"
I turn around to see Nya's arms folded across her chest.
"Why does he have to transform with the same thing as me?!"
"Love ya too, baby!" I wink at her and she rolls her eyes as I turn around again and continue to fight him, but with fireballs.
And he finally reaches down to about 1 hp.
"Ah..." Asgore says. "So that is how it is."
"I'm sorry, buddy," I say apologetically. "But you brought this on yourself."
"I remember the day after my son died," Asgore says, still on his knee and holding his armored chest. "The entire underground was devoid of hope. The future had once again been taken from us by the humans. In a fit of anger, I declared war. I said that I would destroy any human that came here. I would use their souls to become godlike...and free us from this terrible prison. Then, I would destroy humanity...and let monsters rule the surface in peace. Soon, the people's hopes returned. My wife, however, became disgusted with my actions. She left this place, never to be seen again. Truthfully...I do not want power...I do not want to hurt anyone. I just wanted everyone to have hope. But...I cannot take this any longer. I just want to see my wife. I just want to see my child."
"I guess you could say that..." Kennedy says, her voice not sounding nearly as sad as Asgore's.
"Don't. You. Dare," Annaka says, giving her a death stare.
"You really are at a..." Kennedy winks, smiling while placing her hands in a total Sans postion. "...dead end."
Annaka punches Kennedy in the stomach and Kennedy groans while curling up in a ball.
"Go ahead," I say, while turning back to Asgore.
"I'm begging you human," Asgore says. "The war has gone on long enough. You have the power. Take my soul, and leave this cursed place."
"I'm sorry sir, but I can't allow myself to do that."
"After everything I have done to hurt all of you...You would rather stay down here and suffer...than live happily on the surface?...Human...I promise you...For as long as you remain here...my wife and I will take care of you-all of you-as best as we can. We can all sit in the living room, telling stories...eating butterscoth pie...we could be like...like a family..."
Suddenly, pellets surround Asgore.
"What?! No!"
The pellets hit him and he...he turns to dust.
His soul is broken with a single pellet.
And it's not too hard to guess who the murderer was.
Alyssa
"Flowey!"
I storm forward, in front of Doug, just as Flowey pops out of the ground.
"You called?" Flowey says. "You IDIOT! You haven't learned a thing!"
The six souls start to surround Flowey
"In this world..."
"It's KILL or BE killed."
Flowey consumes the souls.
Everything becomes dark.
When light is back, the save screen is all messed up.
"What the..."
Juliana shakily walks forward between Doug(who turned back to normal)and I and presses continue with a tentative look.
We walk forward to see a save point as Juliana walks next to me.
"I'll save, hold on," Juliana says.
She walks forward.
She is about to save, but it breaks before our very eyes.
And giant Flowey towers over all of us.
"Howdy!" Flowey greets
"You," I say coldly.
"It's me, Flowey. Flowey the flower. I owe you a huge thanks. You really did a number on that big fool. Without you, I never could have gotten past him."
"Got that right!" I say.
Flowey gives me an evil stare for a moment, then morphs into an Asgore face. "But now with your help, he's dead." He turns back to a normal face. "And I've got the human souls. Boy! I've been empty for so long! It feels great to have a soul inside me again! Mmm...I can feel them wriggling. Aww, you're feeling left out, aren't you?"
"No," I say.
"No matter. That's just perfect. After all, I only have six souls. I still need one more...Before I become a god! And then, with my newfound powers...Monsters, humans, everyone. I'll show them all the real meaning of this world. Oh, and forget about escaping to your old save file. It's gone forever. But don't worry. Your old friend Flowey...has worked out a replacement for you."
"Uhh...I'll pass..." I say.
"I'll save over your own death!" Flowey says, ignoring me. "So you can watch me tear you to bloody pieces...over, and over, and over..."
"I'll stop you," I say.
"What? Do you really think you can stop me? Hee, hee, hee...You really are an idiot."
My soul appears in front of me.
Omega Flowey approaches me, his laughter full of malice.
"Alyssa, you better know how to do this!" Kennedy yells to me.
"Don't worry," I say calmly. "Besides I've got a few..." I tilt my arm and my pellet falls out of my long sleeved right sleeve on my shirt and I catch it. "...tricks up my sleeve."
Annaka looks as ticked off as ever as Kennedy gives me a thumbs up and winks at me.
I transform, then swipe the pellet in front of me.
And everything goes black.
But when light is back, I am a girl Omega Flowey.
We fight attacks with attacks with attacks.
Until finally, the six souls surround me and my soul.
They give me everything I need to survive, then go away.
"Thank you," I say quietly.
And I hit Flowey over and over, healing myself along the way.
Until he is finally defeated.
"No...NO! This can't be happening! You...YOU!...You idiot!"
I start to lose power and automatically transform back to normal, my soul still in front of my chest as pellets surround it.
"Did you really think you could defeat me?! I am the god of this world. And you? You're hopeless. Hopeless and alone...Golly, that's right. You're worthless friends...can't save you now. Call for help. I dare you. Cry into the darkness! See what good it does you!"
"Alyssa do you need u-" I cut Kennedy off.
"I'll be fine."
"Someone! Please, help me! Justice, bravery, kindness, integrity, perseverance, patience!"
But nobody came.
"Boy! What a shame!" Flowey exclaims. "Nobody else...is gonna see you die!"
The pellets start to close in and I stand there helpless.
Until, they all disappear and my HP reaches max.
"What?" Flowey exclaims. "How'd you...? Well, I'll just..." But it doesn't work. He's as helpless as I felt just a few moments ago. "What? Where are my powers?!"
The six souls appear.
"The souls...? What are they doing?"
They start to attack him intensely.
"NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO OBEY ME! STOP! STOP IT! STOOOPPP!"
Everything goes dark.
But when the lights are back, Flowey is back to his flower self and he looks really beat up.
I tower above him.
"I'm not going to kill you," I say.
"What are you doing?" he asks. "Do you really think I've learned anything from this. No."
I spare him again.
"Sparing me won't change anything. Killing me is the only way to end this."
Spare.
"If you let me live, I'll come back."
Spare.
"I'll kill you."
Spare.
"I'll kill everyone."
Spare.
"I'll kill everyone you love."
Spare.
"..."
Spare.
"...?"
Spare.
"...why?"
Spare.
"...why are you being...so nice to me?"
Spare.
"I can't understand."
Spare.
"I can't understand!"
Spare.
"I just can't understand..."
Flowey ran away.
