Huskys POV:
Again, she was thinking of a way to start the battle. We were circling each other, not letting either of us get near. I could strike her dead now, but that's the problem. There was no respawn, and sure she was a complete and utter murderer, but she used to be someone kind. I wished that she still had her kind soul.
-Flashback-
A young mudkip and an orange haired girl at the age of nine were laughing as they ran through the dark oak forest. The mudkip was being raised by a family of squids outside of the village. The orange haired girl helped her mother as a seamstress. She loved sewing, and had the ability to make beautiful things out of the cloth. She had a pink glow around her when she was happy, although the mudkip only thought that it was a trick of the light every time, although he could not pinpoint why the area smelled of roses each time. The mudkip remembered something from earlier that day, and stopped running. The girl noticed, and looked at her friend.
"What is it Husky?" Her voice had never had a hint of malice. "Even if she was sad, she always became happy not even a second later. Husky looked at the ground, not knowing what to say.
"Well, Dell, the squids are going to train me to fight, and they say I can bring a friend to train as well." He said, watching happily as her smile grew. She always wanted to be able to fight like Husky could against the monsters, and she quickly agreed to go with him to train. It turned out to be a trap, though, and they couldn't escape.
At first, it was uneventful, but then the squids started to talk about experiments. Neither Husky, nor Dell knew that when they were called into a white room. They were the first test subjects, and no limits were put on them. The squids did something to them every day for a week. Dell slowly detiorated. She became blood thirsty, wanting to kill everything. Her voice went from innocent to having hatred. She had grown to love the squids, but hate any human she saw. Husky became withdrawn from socializing. He kept to himself, following what the squids said without a second thought, almost like a robot. He would enjoy spilling blood when they trained, easily killing his apponent. The skills of being an assasin he had were off the charts. He would only open up to Dell, who was becoming more crazy. Her laughter turned dark and her eyes shone with extreme happiness. Husky still kept most of his mind, although his eyes were forever blank of emotion. The squids had created something that would forever change the once innocent children.
-end of flashback-
I looked at Dell, her blood red hair was pulled into a bun, and she was giggling happily as she swung her knife in circles.
"What made you leave, Husky? What kind of idiot changed your mind? You and I used to be the best assasin team the squids ever had. I thought you cared about the squids." I shook my head at her rambling. I was trying to turn off my emotions so I could kill her with no regrets for at least an hour, but it wasn't really working.
"No, I never really cared for them. For the longest time I acted as though I was a robot, only doing what they said. But, I noticed something when I was sent to spy on Team Crafted, I remembered what it was like to be free and to actually feel happiness without having to kill in order to stay alive." I looked at her, she was staying in one spot, listening to me. "When we saved those people from the fire, I felt something I didn't reconize. I had saved a life instead of ending one, I was seen as someone who could save, and I made friends that trusted me and wouldn't try to kill me in my sleep." I remember when a little kid tried to do that when we were still young, although I killed him first. "I found out what the squids did to my parents. Turns out, Mudkips were always great warriors and the squids killed them from fear. I am basically the only mudkip left, but I was always told by those stupid squids that they were on a mission. They used me, tried to make me into a mindless killing machine, why would I care for them." She was silent, maybe I got through to her. Then she laughed, and any hope I had for her to turn good vanished. She looked at me happily.
"Oh, but you are wrong. Freedom isn't being nice." She giggled, her knife stopped swinging. "Do you not feel happiness from killing people. How you can end lives and not get in trouble. Freedom isn't tied down by rules on being kind, IT MEANS DOING WHAT YOU WANT!" She screamed the last words so loud, I had to cover my ears. She lunged at me, and I barely dodged. I grabbed my curved dagger, ready to attack. She stabbed at me to the right, and I sliced at her arm as she ran through. I dodged a kick to the head, but it was quickly followed with her knife stabbing me in theh side. My vision started swimming as a smile formed on my lips. There was no point in holding back, she was too far gone to think that killing wasn't evil. Her soul was tainted, and I could see a pink glow spark around her. The pink had large splotches of red and the smell of rotting meat filled the area. It took all I had not to gag. She ran at me with unhuman speeds, and I barely dodged. I threw my dagger, and it hit its mark on her right arm. She was chuckling, tearing out the dagger.
"You know you want to give into the feeling, admit it...Your having fun." She smiled towards me, looking innocent. She was wrong, I never had fun whenever I go blood thirsty. I regret any time I do that. It was hard to keep down, and I might lose it soon. If I do, she'd be dead quickly, but I am stubborn and I was waiting for a chance to change her mind. "You have great percision with those daggers, but what if I move far too quickly. What if it hits one of your friends that are fighting?" That was not a question I was expecting. I put up my throwing daggers, replacing them with a large cleaver. Small knives were going to do nothing against her. "Finally, some fun." she giggled, attacking from nearly all angles with her knife. I caught her off gaurd with a fake attack, and I sliced at her. I cut open her stomach some, blood getting on me in the process. It was getting harder to stay in control, and I could feel my small smile grow more crazed. She held her knife up, and I could see my reflection. My eyes were blank of any emotion, but on the inside, I was panicking. I had blood on me, and my carving knife was dripping with blood. My smile was nearly inhuman, but I quess I'm not human anyways. She noticed that I was off guard this time and she ran behind me. Before I could turn and try to chop off her head, I felt the knife stab my side. It went in deep, and she tilted it upwards when she ripped it out. I fell to the ground, the pain from the cut was undecribable. I could hear her laughing madly, talking about how she had won this time. I couldn't let her win, she had to die. My mind suddenly cleared, I wasn't going crazy nor was I in a panicked state. I got up from the ground, my limbs seemed useless as the cleaver was held limply in my hand. My head was tilted to the ground when I turned towards her. She had stopped laughing and was most likely staring with intrest. My eyes looked lifeless in the relfection on her knife. A light blue smoke seemed to curl off of me. It was mixed with swirls of magenta, and the air smelled of cut grass. I noticed what it was, and it seemed to scare Dell, the red and pink aura around her dissapearing. I felt nothing, my head completely clear, although I could barely register what I was doing. I walked up to her and time seemed to slow. She was trying to stab me again, but I moved faster, stabbing her in her chest. It went through the heart, and she seemed to go limp.
"Th-Thank Yo-you Husky...T-that was a nigh-nightmare..." She spoke quietly, her smile genuine and her eyes sparkled with tears. I felt my feelings slowly return, and I looked at her oddly. She shakily looked up at me, a pure pink aura shining dimly around her. The smell of roses had returned. "I'm free at last..." She closed her eyes and stopped breathing. She didn't dissapear, nor did she move. I laid her on the ground, turning back to see how the others were faring with their fights. They had already finished and were staring at me. Hero came up to me, healing my wounds and getting rid of the blood. I stared at the dead squids, and a thought came to my head.
"Was this trial...to save Dell?"
Wow, life gets busy. I apologize if I didn't do good with the fighting scene, I'm not that good at those. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I kind of also want to do a story for Undertale. I love the multiple AU's for it, and the story in itself is awesome. I hope you all had a good day, and here are some cookies. (::) (::) (::) (::)
