(Author's Note: Back to the Underground. This chapter takes place during Tank Destruction.)
Phoebe, Huntress Wizard, Vivian, Loke, and Viper faced off against Beldam, Marilyn, Doopliss, and a troop of X-Nauts on the shores of Waterfall. Loke was still injured from the fight with Mr. Dark and Viper was focused on defending his comrade from enemy attacks putting him more on the defensive, so the main fighting was up to Phoebe, Huntress Wizard, and Vivian.
Huntress Wizard faced off against Doopliss, who used his copy ability to turn himself into a copy of Huntress Wizard. The two of them ran across the area firing arrows at each other. The arrows struck each other, shattered, and clattered to the ground. Doopliss just smirked feeling confident in winning the battle. Huntress Wizard smirked.
"I'll admit your copy ability is good, but I already fought and bested a double of me. Compared to her this is, but a walk on the beach." Said Huntress Wizard.
"Oh really?" Said Doopliss.
"Really. You may have copied my archery skills, but you don't have my mind, creativity, or drive." Said Huntress Wizard as she selected a arrow from her quiver and fired it at Doopliss.
Doopliss dodged the shot and laughed.
"You missed!"
Huntress Wizard just smirked as the arrow turned into a boomerang and flew back stricking Doopliss in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground, and made him change back into his normal form. Some X-Nauts came to Doopliss's aid and rushed Huntress Wizard forcing her to fight them as Doopliss recovered.
Phoebe faced off against Marilyn, who threw lighting bolts at her forcing her to dodge around. Some X-Nauts tried to grab and punch Phoebe, but she dodged them and they ended up accidentally getting zapped by Marilyn's attacks. Phoebe reached Marilyn, who threw a punch at her, but Phoebe ducked the blow and delivered an uppercut to Marilyn's knocking her to the ground.
Vivian faced off against Beldam.
"You know sister if you just surrender here and now, I will spare you and put in a good word with Spirit and the others not to kill you. You'll be allowed to live, though you will probably face punishment and demotion. Probably be demoted to factory worker or janitor. Now what do you say. Surrender and be a good little girl." Said Beldam.
"This again. You say you care for me, but then you demean me as if I'm nothing more then a minion instead of your sister. You don't care about me! You only care about yourself! You give me hard jobs and when I do accomplish them or do something that is good for us or Spirit and her sisters you don't ever thank or praise me, but instead you put me down and take credit for my work. That's not what sisters are supposed to do. So I'm not going to surrender to you. I would rather take my chances fighting against you and I'm going to show you how powerful I'm really am." Said Vivian as fireballs formed in her hands.
"Foolish girl. You will regret this!" Sneered Beldam before she began to hurl ice spikes at Vivian.
Vivian threw her fireballs at the ice shards and they exploded. Beldam threw some ice spikes into the air and dropped them down towards Vivian, but she dodged out of the way. Vivian threw a fireball at Beldam, who raised a ice shield in front of herself for protection. The fireball struck the ice shield and made a few cracks in it, which took Beldam by surprise.
"How...?" Asked Beldam.
"I told you I'm stronger then you think. All those missions you sent me on gradually made me stronger. My magic is also fueled by my emotions and I happen to be very angry with you. Let me show you!" Said Vivian as she hurled some more fireballs at Beldam.
Beldam quickly threw some ice spikes at the fireballs, but they melted as soon as they came in contact with the fireballs. The fireballs slammed into the ice shield and it exploded sending Beldam crashing to the ground.
Some of the X-Nauts took notice of the Shadow Sirens and Doopliss getting bested and began to consider retreating from the fight, since they didn't think they would fair any better.
"We got them on the run. Let's capture these jerks and make them tell us everything about Spirit and her forces." Said Phoebe.
"A good idea." Said Huntress Wizard.
"I'm more then happy to tell you everything I know." Said Vivian.
"That's great, but first let's takedown these creeps and remove them from the equation." Said Phoebe.
"Fine by me." Said Vivian.
"Don't get cocky! You haven't beaten us yet!" Snarled Beldam as she and her allies recovered and regrouped.
Phoebe, Huntress Wizard, and Vivian were prepared to rush forward, when several dark armored Underworld Knights appeared from a cloud of darkness between the heroes and the Shadow Sirens and their allies. The Underworld Knights were armed with swords, shields, spears, and axes. The heroes and the villains stared at the newcomers in confusion as the dark cloud vanished and the Necromancer appeared hovering above the horde with Deathcalibur in his hands. Phoebe recognized the Necromancer from Snowdin along with Huntress Wizard and the Shadow Sirens.
"That's one of the jerks that attacked us in Snowdin with an undead army!" Said Phoebe.
"Looks like he's back for revenge." Said Huntress Wizard.
"He's called the Necromancer." Said Vivian.
"Looks like luck is on my side! Necromancer your timing was perfect! Now destroy these fools and make it painful!" Said Beldam.
"Wait just a moment." Said NecroDancer as he suddenly appeared among the Underworld Knights.
"Another one." Said Phoebe recognizing the NecroDancer.
"That's the NecroDancer." Said Vivian.
The NecroDancer scanned the five heroes as if searching for something. After a couple of minutes NecroDancer just scowled with announce, apparently he didn't find what he was looking for. He turned and began walking away.
"It isn't here. I must search elsewhere." Said NecroDancer as he walked away from the scene.
"Oh well, we don't need that guy. Now back to the killing!" Said Beldam.
The Necromancer waved his sword forward and the Underworld Knights charged forward. Huntress Wizard quickly took some Knights down with arrows to the head, while Phoebe, Vivian, and Viper took down some others with blasts of fire. One Knight after another Knight went down from the attacks, but for every Knight that went down two or three more were there to take it's place. The Necromancer just kept using Deathcalibur to summon more Underworld Knights. Huntress Wizard tried to shoot the Necromancer down with an arrow, but he just shattered it to bits with Deathcalibur and used the sword to summon some bigger and stronger Underworld Knights armed with axes.
The giant Underworld Knights stomped in and joined the battle and it seemed like the heroes were about to be overwhelmed, until some flaming bullets flew in and took out a few dozen Underworld Knights. Everyone turned to see where the bullets had come from and saw Flame Face, with Py-Ro, Luminous, Six, Sol Crusher, Stratos, and several bug warriors.
"Fear not! The Legion of Light is here to cast out these shadows!" Said Luminous.
"Oh yeah! This looks like my kind of party!" Cheered Flame Face with wild glee.
"Destroy them all!" Yelled Beldam as the Legion of Light, Flame Face, and Py-Ro joined the battle.
Chaos erupted as the Legion of Light joined the battle. Luminous fired beams of light, Sol Crusher fired waves of fire, Stratos fired robotics flys and attacked with his giant metal jaw form, Flame Face fired flaming bullets powered by Py-Ro, the bug warriors attacked with their swords and Six attacked with Ruxxtin's Staff as well as some unusual powers of her own. Dark shadows stretched out beneath Six and head towards the Underworld Knights, touching them, and causing them to crumble to the ground and die.
"Point me at the big one." Said Ruxxtin's Staff to Six.
Six pointed the staff at a giant Underworld Knight and a purple beam fired out of it. The beam struck the giant Underworld Knight and it's eyes glowed purple as it began to attack the other Knights.
"A nice puppet for us." Said Ruxxtin's Staff.
The battle continued to rage on and the combined effort of the heroes and the Legion of Light were making some fair progress against the Necromancer and Shadow Sirens' forces. The Necromancer was focused on protecting himself as many of the enemies tried to knock him out of the air as he summoned more and more Underworld Knights. It would only be a matter of time, until one of them succeeded. If the Necromancer was knocked out of the air, there was a good chance he could be taken out very quickly and there would be no more Underworld Knights fighting. Beldam came to this realization as well. As much as she hated to admit it the fight was no longer in their favor and they had to retreat.
Beldam and Marilyn flew up to Necromancer and the two of them unleashed a burst of ice and lightning onto the battlefield below forcing the heroes and the Legion of Light to either block or dodged the attacks. This allowed the Necromancer to summon another horde of Underworld Knights to attack and then he and the Shadow Sirens flew away telling Doopliss and the remaining X-Nauts to retreat from the scene as the heroes and the Legion of Light were forced to fight the Underworld Knights.
Several minutes later all the Underworld Knights, except for the one controlled by Ruxxtin's Staff were defeated. Luminous looked a little angry and disappointed that all he and his forces managed to kill were the Underworld Knights and a few X-Nauts. He then noticed Vivian and began to advanced toward her conjuring a sword of light.
"What do you think you're doing?" Demanded Phoebe as she got between Luminous and Vivian.
"That is a Shadow Siren. She is a dark servant of evil that must be destroyed, so step out of the way and let me do my job." Said Luminous.
"I don't think so. Vivian quit the Shadow Sirens and fought alongside us against her sisters and those Knights. She's on our side and I won't let you or your followers hurt her." Said Phoebe.
"You honestly think a being of darkness is your friend? Don't be absurd! All creatures of darkness are evil!" Said Luminous.
"Not everyone who comes from darkness is evil and not everyone who claims to be from the light is good." Said Phoebe with a glare as she formed a fire sword.
Luminous and Phoebe glared at each other and then a portal opened a few yards away and out came Finn, Fern, Gata, BMO, Heckapoo, Undyne, and Mack. Luminous cast a glance at the newcomers and let out a sigh as he made his sword vanish.
"I have other beings of darkness I must track and purge. You'll see what I said about darkness is true. Until we meet again." Said Luminous as he walked away followed by the rest of the Legion of Light.
"Guess I better return to my crew." Said Flame Face as he and Py-Ro left the scene.
"What happened?" Asked Finn as he walked over to Phoebe.
"A big battle with a lot of people. Why is there a green guy that looks a lot like you?" Said Phoebe indicating Fern.
"That's Fern, he's basically me from another universe, who ended up here and was helping Gata out." Said Finn.
"Nice to meet you." Said Fern offering his hand.
"Nice to meet you too." Said Phoebe shacking Fern's hand.
Some introductions were made and the two groups decided to head to a nearby town to rest and tell each other what happened.
To be continued.
