Show No Fear

Chapter 26

"Kid, we told you to run." I hear Dust say behind me, I look over seeing worry gleam in their pinpricks despite their exhaustion. However, their worried looks immediately disappeared as they noticed my change in demeanor, some even seemed to almost recognize it.

Stretch let out a sigh as he placed a hand on my shoulder, "I know that look." He gave me a crooked smile, "Don't push yourself too much." He added, to which I nodded as I stood by their sides, ready to fight alongside them.

"I couldn't exactly leave you guys." I say with a small smile, looking over at the gang, before adjusting my grip on my sword. I charged forwards along with the rest of them, attacking and blocking, defending them whenever they needed it. After all that is my strength, protecting those that I care for ... except Ink.

I slid across the ground, as I watched from the distance as the group worked with one another, slowly we were gaining the upper hand. I couldn't help but smirk as fear began to set in X-Gaster's eyes as he slowly seemed to become overwhelmed. I couldn't help but enjoy the look in his gaze, I then winced as a sharp pain shot in my body causing my sword to disappear. I sat down feeling satisfied, knowing the fighting will come to an end soon.

I closed my eyes, letting out a sigh in relief as I felt my shoulders relax, reminding myself to write my own story so that way it will help me remember. My eyes snapped open after hearing a scream, looking over to see Horror screaming out in agony as one of the spikes was now penetrating his legs. A laugh bounced off the stone walls of the room as X-Gaster spawned multiple gaster blasters, blasting both Dream and Nightmare away.

Dust charged forward, firing his own gaster blasters, destroying the other ones before he sent a flurry of bone attacks with Error doing the same, backing him into a corner before a large purple burst followed by spikes was shot out. Stabbing Error in the arm, and sending Dust flying, slamming head first into the stone wall.

I glared at X-Gaster who wore a grin however sweat was beating down his skull. I jumped up onto my feet creating a sword back in my hand, I relaxed too soon. I darted forward as rage pulsed in my body, doubling, as I knocked a spike out of midair, preventing it from hitting Horror who was already down, clutching his leg in pain.

"I thought about having them do it their way. To capture you again." I growled as the sword in my hand disappeared before a large knife replaced it. "But I think I will just kill you myself." I spoke in a deadly tone as I began to walk towards him calmly, not breaking eye contact as anger radiated off my aura as it began to seep through my skin.

"Extraordinary." X-Gaster spoke with a large grin as multiple gaster blasters spawn, I continued walking forward as they fired down on me, a teal dome surrounding me as I continued to walk before floating knives formed behind me as I let down me dome sending them flying into the skulls, destroying them. The knives were then replaced with arrows as they whizzed through the air before striking him. Only three found their mark while the others were blocked. "I underestimated your abilities." He spoke out of breath as he ripped out the arrows before breaking them with his hands. "I believed without that child's soul you won't be able to fight back. Only be a worthless shield. How wrong I was ... you are much more dangerous than he was." He spoke as fear flashed across his eyes.

Excitement bubbled inside me, mixing with my rage, "Don't you know? Show no fear." A smirk decorated my lips, "Showing fear proves the opponent is winning." His eyes widened as the quote he told us constantly fell from my lips, the memory being clear as the day when he put us through those tests.

I raised the knife before going to stab him only for him to teleport a few paces back using a hand to slap me away, causing me to fall on my side, skidding my body across the ground, stopping right in front of Horror. I pushed myself off the ground, coughing up blood as another shot of pain racked my body.
