Chapter 66 - A different prophecy

The heroes walked through the bunker. The darkness slowly swallowing them.

Susie: "Dammit, Kris! Why don't you bright this up?"

Kris hesitated as they stopped, and then, Kris' soul glowed, and a white beacom lightened the area, making everything around them visible.

They were in a very old facility, one that resembled a strange laboratory, but completely forgotten and abandoned for who knows how long.

Then, in a sudden, black smoke started to appear from forward towards them.

Susie: "A dark fountain in here? Since when was this open?"

Noelle: "Susie... I think this may be the first?"

Susie: "Huh? W-what do you mean?"

Noelle hesitates, her head down and her eyes closed. Susie started sweating a little, nervous by the sudden silence. Kris remained untouched, the connection he could feel with Noelle more and more closer by what he hated, but couldn't stop.

After a moment, suddenly, they are drowned by the black smoke, brought to the dark world inside the bunker.

Slowly, after a while, everything started to be seen, and they were laying down, but are surprised by Ralsei standing in front of Kris with his hands on his back.

Ralsei: "Kris, you have to get up."

Kris started shaking, then more and more, until he got up.

After a moment, the four started walking through the darkness, leaded by Kris. Ralsei remained near Susie, both near behind Kris, while Noelle followed kris almost aside him.

Susie: "Hey, Ralsei. We always follow Kris, because he seems to know where to go. But now... Why Noelle feels different? And... As she knows?..."

Ralsei: "Well, they must be good friends. But we have to go seal the fountain."

After a big while, they continued, until Kris and Noelle suddenly stopped. Then, two red trails leaving both started to move together, and formed the red soul.

Then, the view changed to move to in front of them, as in the distance, there was a silhouette giving their back to them.

After few seconds, there was silence, until suddenly, the sihlouette was pushed and sent towards them. The figure was the Roaring Knight, and stopped in between Kris and Noelle, kneeling with the bat sword piercing the ground for support, and after a second, the Roaring Knight started glitching like static sound waves.

Susie and Ralsei prepared to fight, but for their surprise, Kris and Noelle ACT'd, and stabalized the Roaring Knight, and it did stop glitching.

The Roaring Knight hesitated, but quickly got up, and continued holding the bat sword with their right hand. They stared at Kris for a moment, until Susie interrupted.

Susie: "KRIS, WHAT THE HELL!? IT'S THE KNIGHT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Ralsei: "S-susie... There's... no need to get like that-"

Susie: "NO NEED TO GET LIKE-... ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF?! THIS SI THE GOD DAMN KNIGHT!! THE SAME WE FOUGH WHEN THEY TRIED TO STEAL KRIS' MOM!! MRS. TORIEL!! AND RAPTED OFFICER UNDYNE!! AND YOU WANT ME TO NOT GET LIKE THIS?!"

Susie then slashed the Roaring Knight, but they dodged the slash by becoming a ball and moving quickly back.

The moment tensed along them, but Ralsei tried to calm down Susie. Meanwhile, the Roaring Knight hesitated, turning to look at Kris, and both stared for a short moment at each other until nodding. Then, the Roaring Knight turned to look at Noelle.

They continued, Susie still hesitating and about rushing to attack the Roaring Knight. After a short moment, they encounter a big goat monster.

Then, quickly, they enter in battle.

* The angel has arrived.

The fight then begun, and quickly, all went into chaos, leaving only Kris, Noelle, and the Roaring Knight, fighting by knowing how the fight was going.

The battle was already in flames, and Susie or Ralsei could do much. Meanwhile, the three were fighting, having to dodge as they could flames, bones, blasters, and more.

Until suddenly, everyone nd everything is pushed after the Angel lifted his left arm and swong it, making a huge wave and wall of flame quickly push everything and cover all in flames.

So far, the battle was hard, but only Noelle was actually doing real damage, as the physical attack of Kris and the Roaring Knight were futile, and the Ice Magic of Noelle was the only thing doing damage.

The battle then continued. The attacks were overwhelming and everywhere, and despite they were withouth coordination, were highly strong, and covering all the area.

Susie: "Ralsei, what the hell do we do?!"

Ralsei hesitated, observing the battle, and then looked down.

Ralsei: "I... I don't know... This wasn't in the prophecy."

Susie: "Fuck the prophecy! We have to do something already! We can't just continue not doing shit!"

After a while, the Angel did his last move. His eyes flashed blue and burnt in flames with no trail or light, and no one could move or hit the Angel anymore.

The Angel started dodging and moving extra fast, the attacks appearing and dissappearing randomly.

And after quite a hard battle, Susie has enough, and throws an axe at the Angel, who easily dodges it, but doesn't finish the attack he was doing.

Susie: "I don't care! How about... I AM THE GOD DAMN PROPHECY!"

The Angel hesitated, but then accepted the 1v1.

Both fought for a while, and Susie proved she learnt from Old Man[2], and with the help of the Player, Susie used Green Magic with the hammer, the hammer she was given after winning against the Old Man.

Susie was showing how much she improved in fighting and in healing, handling the Angel in the 1v1, when not even Kris, Noelle, and the Roaring Knight were actually handling the Angel properly.

But after quite a long while, suddenly, the Angel stops, and a hollow disturbed voice is heard...

❄︎☟︎✌︎❄︎ 🖐︎💧︎ ✈︎✝︎🖐︎❄︎☜︎ ☜︎☠︎🏳︎✝︎☝︎☟︎📪︎ 💧︎🏳︎☠︎📬︎

☟︎🏳︎⊕︎ 🖐︎☞︎ ⊕︎☜︎ ☞︎🖐︎☠︎🖐︎💧︎☟︎ ❄︎☟︎☜︎ ✌︎☠︎☝︎☜︎☹︎📪︎ ✌︎☠︎👎︎ ☞︎🖐︎☠︎✌︎☹︎☹︎✡︎ 💣︎✌︎😐︎☜︎ 🖐︎❄︎ 👍︎🏳︎💣︎⚐︎☹︎☜︎❄︎☜︎✍︎

They all hesitated, but then, red trails moved from Kris and Noelle, and from both, a more full glowing determination soul, all the Player's control from Kris and Noelle, all into one.

Then, the soul was dragged like a magnet towards the Angel, and after it entered inside him, he charged, and after a short moment he unleashed it.

All exploded in fire and ember flames.

The next they could see, was a very different creature.

A towering 9'8 feet tall tank.

His body not visible and just wearing a spike black shadow armor with red lines glowing around. In the middle of the chest, a heart shape with a red flame glowing and fading with intensity.

His head similar to the Roaring Knight, but instead of 1 eye, having 2. More reinforced, with red lines and red sparkles of flames coming from his eyes and mouth. The goat horns massive and reinforced with bleeding sharp spikes with strange red pulsating veins coming from them to the head but fading the closer the veins were to the head.

And from his back, big red shadowed wings.

The armor seems reinforced and made by scarlet crimson metal.

They all hesitated, but Kris and Noelle fell down, knocked out.

Ralsei went and checked on both, while Susie prepared herself to continue the fight, but then the Roaring Knight moved and stood at Susie's left adn placed their right hand over her shoulder.

Susie hesitated, not liking the Roaring Knight, but she had to fight along them.

But before they could move, Ralsei healed the team and placed himself at Susie's right.

Ralsei: "Don't worry, Susie. Even if this isn't as was in the prophecy, you showed me we can change it. So let's change it."

Susie: "... Heh. Yeah, you finally saw it, nerd! Let's get this prophecy written down... WITH THEIR BLOOD!"

And so, the prophecy was changed. The heroes stood against 'The Angel', and was their job to exterminate them to finally fulfill the prophecy.

A vessel with human soul, a monster, and prince of the darkness... And last was the girl, at last was the girl. But for the prophecy's to end, to save the world and the story end, there is only one way... And then when all hope is lost for the tale, the final tragedy unveils.

The second hero, the girl with hope crossed on her heart; love founds its way to the girl. LOVE FOUND ITS WAY TO THE GIRL.

The fought went on for a while, and even if the heroes couldn't reach to win, and were losing quickly more and more chances to possibly win, suddenly, at a chance, Susie launched herself and tried to strike the Angel.

The Angel easily grabbed the hammer, but at few seconds later, Susie made the Angel be under Green Magic, and unable to move, Susie started smashing the Angel over and over.

Until a short moment later, he charged and launched a wave of scarlet flames that did inmense damage to everything and everyone.

Susie fell down, but instead of just remaining DOWN, she stood up how she could, and tried to smash the Angel again. But this time, he threw a flame and broke the hammer, and next, was Susie.

Susie received the attack, FATAL, and the fire damage instantly dusted her.

Everyone hesitated, and Noelle who was in shock, now more aware than ever, feeling all the love she had, and the love she got, had enough and was time to share it, and so, she stood up and walked to the front.

And then, with all her love from her crossed heart of everything, she casted Icestorm, making everything be surrounded and covered by Ice and receive massive lethal ice damage, instantly freezing the Angel.

Noelle then fell down, exhausted, empty, but it was done.

Kris walked near Noelle, and with the Roaring Knight, both tried to calm Noelle down, while Ralsei observed what remained of Susie, and at the Angel.

Until suddenly, a sudden warm is felt, and then, the Angel got out of being FROZEN with a roar; flames covered everything and made all the ice be melted instantly, and the heroes under Orange Magic.

The heroes hesitated, but for that, they all received massive damage, as they were suffering from the flames consuming them. Noelles and Ralsei were DOWNED, while Kris and the Roaring Knight remained, with the Roaring Knight barely receiving aany damage as was constantly floating which was allowing them to be moving.

Kris noticed and started swinging slightly to keep themselves moving too, and started barely receiving any damage, and prepared to continue the battle, but the Angel was twitching and way weaker than before, and so, the Knights, fought the last stand.

Kris, the Knight. And the Roaring Knight. Both fought together to fight the Angel, and for last, finish with the Angel and fulfill the prophecy.

Quickly, both had the upperhand, and after a big battle, the Roaring Knight started beating the Angel, but the Angel was inmune to be SWOONED. But was weak enough, and then Kris appread of the Roaring Knight when they moved aside to their right.

Then, the Knight, slashed once, dealing fatal damage, but with not enough, did another slash, X slashing the Angel, and for the final, a stab that pierced through the middle of the Angel's chest, and the twisted sword twisted the flames of the Angel, making them unstable, burning him with fatal damage, and then, the Angel exploded under flames.

And after a short moment, the Angel dusted away, and the soul shattered, melting quickly.

And then, with the extermination of the Angel, all glowed white, and everything was done. All the dark worlds, erased; the dark fountains, sealed; and all the darkners, killed with nothing remaining inside the items they were.

And so, Kris stood in surprise, aside Asriel and Dess when both suddenly appeared after the Roaring Knight glowed white and dissappeared. Ralsei was gone, and the three, took Noelle to the hospital.
