FIVE NIGHTS AT UNDERFELL

Chapter 14

Asgore stare down at Daniel as he throw Fredbear aside. He pressed Check to see Asgore's strength and HP. KING ASGORE 350 ATK 500 DEF. The true monster that dons a crown and a cape. "I feel rather generous today. I will allow you to attack first." Asgore allows Daniel to take his first attack. Daniel shook his head as he look for other options other than FIGHT. He decides to refuse to fight. "I refuse!" Daniel called out, feeling so scared inside. "You will not fight? You must." Asgore demanded, holding his trident, tightly. "I made a promise to myself!" Daniel shouted. "You dare spat on my generosity? I will enjoy killing you." Asgore replied as he lifts red poles while targeting at Daniel. Daniel gasp once he knew what it was targeting at. He moved out of the way after it strike pass him, Daniel took a deep breath, knowing it is his turn. He keeps refusing to fight him, avoiding his attacks, having 6HP for now. He knew this was a dangerous turn, but he just needs to keep going. "Refusing? Perhaps you pity me as well. However, your pity is wasted here." Asgore replied, summoning an attack of red smoke bombs. He avoids them very well, pretty much. He ate a Glamburger, increase his HP. "Do you think I desire pitying? Do you believe I need to be spared? Do you have any idea what atrocities I have performed in the past?" Asgore asked before the dark begins to grow darken. Daniel stays focus while waiting for a warning, then he saw Asgore jumped and tried to slice him, he gasps and rolled out of the way as Asgore's target was stuck to the floor. "I will inform you. I allowed the Monsters here to suffer." Asgore replied. Then, Daniel saw a speedy red smoke pass him, he quickly avoids it but got hit at 14HP. He looks at Asgore, looking a bit scared. "I have six human SOULS. Think about it." Asgore replied. Then, the floor begins to lift with fire. Daniel gasp as he climbs on the curtains, getting distracted by the red smoke. He gets hit as his HP is down to 10. He slides down once the fire is gone. "I could have easily used one human SOUL and crossed the barrier. I could have slaughtered millions. Then come back a god and shattered the barrier. I could have freed my people. I could of preventing overcrowding. I could have prevented the resource crisis. I could have let them frolic in the field of tall grass and breath in the fresh air, see and feel the warmth of the sun. But I did not. Because I enjoy watching the peasants suffer." Asgore explained, smiling wildly. Daniel shaken after what he said, he saw a spot of flame beside him. He gasps while he avoids the attacks, he looks at Asgore with fear. "Stop this!" Daniel cried. "It is true. And the Monsters know it. They have rebelled in the past, and well. The carpet leading to my throne is black for some reason. I just love viewing my handy work." Asgore replied. Suddenly, Fredbear begins to move while Daniel begins to avoid Asgore's flames. "Not enough reason to accrue your wrath still? The Royal Guards are, as I said, indoctrinated. I chose to recruit children to be mentally and physically trained for them to obey and do without question. I made them love killing and dominating others to their knees. I do not hesitate to kill one of my guards if disobedience were to be found. No one is allowed to live if they back talk to me. However, there were an exception. I remembered this one fish who ditch their ground. I gouged out her eye with my thumb, then someone bailed her out. Noble, but what is noble good for, and how can it benefit the now fallen?" Asgore asked. Daniel growled while hi HP is down to 8. "It was laughable. She wanted revenage, so she took up killing Monsters to gain LOVE. So she can overthrow me." Then, Asgore begins to laugh, a louder one which terrify Daniel and Fredbear. After Asgore calm down, he looked at Daniel. "She will make a great ruler in my absence." Asgore stood there, waiting for Daniel to fight back. Daniel shook his head, refusing to fight him. "Still? Perhaps my deeds were not directed at you. Your humankind for that matter. You see, the Royal Scientist creates these abominations called the Amalgamates. I gave her the resources and equipment to work on their power of D E T E R M I N A T I O N. I wanted an army. An army of unkillable soldiers that will invade the surface. That army will destroy any mention of your pitiful human existence. Imagine. Every art. Every achievement. Every song. Every story. Every literature. Every idea. Every creation. Everything humankind created. Suddenly were to be eradicated. You no longer exist. You no longer matter. You no longer belong. Is that fear I sense? Or better yet...rage?" Asgore asked, smiling. Fredbear was the one who felt rage, not on Asgore's plan but pain he is spreading on Daniel. "Perhaps some extra details will convince you to loathe me. The Royal Scientist hates her life and hates what she is doing. I forced her to test on living subjects. I forced her to torture them to bring me back results. I cared not how many living Monsters were melted down nor of the great tremendous pain they have felt. I cared not for her sanity nor of her letters of resignation. I cared not for the families and friends robbed. Their lives are meekly pathetic and insignificant. So, it seems they have more in common with you after all." Asgore replied, trying to convince Daniel that Asgore is really is the Real Monster here. Suddenly, Asgore increase his trident into flames, force his way to Daniel, which brought Daniel's HP down to 0. "NO!" Fredbear screamed, jumped on Daniel as it increases his HP back to 20. He suddenly woken up, inhaling. Asgore didn't see due to his cape were in the way. Fredbear move back, letting Daniel know she is here for him. Daniel look at Asgore. "She had tried to find an alternative host for this D E T E R M I N A T I O N. She says something that is neither Human nor Monster. She tried to inject D E T E R M I N A T I O N into a flower. I tolerate no insubordination. I beat her down with my bare hands until she was in tears, scared and trembling. I forced her to fear for her life if she dares wander off task again. I cared not for any alternation. She was on narcotics the next day. I am the king. I want to know every detail of her pathetic, meek, laughable state she is reduced to. It was, and still is hilarious. The mere fact that she calls others pathetic when she herself is the most pathetic of them all! Laughable, is it not?" Asgore asked. He summoned fireballs on Daniel, it was fast as flash, but not fast enough, it did hurt Daniel down to 18HP. "Unsurprisingly she has thoughts of committing suicide. Knowing the pathetic coward she is, she attempted overdosing. The redundant whimpering wench however. She could not even perform a simple task of devouring lethal poison." Asgore replied, looking a bit irritated. He furiously begins to throw the crueller attacked. Which brought Daniel down to 4HP, he ate a Hotdog to fill up his HP. He stands up, staring at the anger eyes. He still refuses to fight him; he knows what is better. "Did you not hear me? I made a sane person into a self-destructive suicidal sociopath! Why are you hesitating to attack!?" Asgore shouted, getting annoyed. He stood there wondering why. Why he did what he did? He has made it this far without killing. But the monster standing before him has caused this world so much pain. This is where his journey ends. He is DETERMINED to see it through. He raises his voice. "I won't hurt you!" Daniel shouted, pulling out his worn dagger, dropping it on the ground, after it hit the ground, it brought an explosion in Asgore's emotions. "I ruined the lives of my people! For no other reason than for my own amusement! Why do you resist the urge to kill the monster before you!?" Asgore shouted, swinging his trident on Daniel while he dodges his sharpness. Then, Asgore's trident accidentally hit Fredbear, causing her to hit the wall. She shook her head, looked at Daniel with worries. Daniel huffed, still refusing. "I desire no redemption! I seek not for forgiveness! Furthermore! I definitely will not be pitied by the likes of you!" Asgore shouted, trying to stab Daniel. Daniel gets a scratch by the trident, right at the cheek, losing 3HP, now at 17. "I won't fight you!" Daniel shouted, resisting to fight. "Fight me!" Asgore demanded as his trident turn brightly red, swinging it while Daniel gets cornered against the wall. He yelps and dodge the trident's attacked. He ran out of the attack, staring at Asgore who ripped his trident out of the walls. "Enough stalling!" Asgore demanded as he smash his trident on Daniel's Item button. He gasps once he knew he cannot have any healing item anymore. He keeps refusing to fight him. "Why? Why!?" Asgore shouted, swinging his trident at Daniet, stepping back from the burning trident. "I'M NOT GOING TO KILL YOU!-" Daniel cried. Suddenly, Asgore's trident turns into a flaming fire. "SILENCE!" Asgore screamed as he roughly destroys Daniel's Act button. Daniel eyes widen, the only button he has is FIGHT. Then, he thought of something, another idea...he pressed FIGHT, seeing the new view. His aim was about to triggered, but he stands there, not doing anything. He keeps doing it until Asgore has spoken. "Why will you not attack?" Asgore asked. Daniel keeps going and going and going. "Why?" Asgore asked. He summoned fireballs at Daniel, trying to kill Daniel already. But Daniel was determined. "What good will come if I live? There is nothing redeemable about me! I live to torment and bring suffering to those I see fit!" Asgore complained, keeps on trying to stop Daniel to spare him. "Stop it." Asgore demanded, summing fireballs at Daniel. Daniel gasp once he moved out of the way, passing the fireballs. Daniel missed his attack, getting in a rage point but refuse to let the emotion show. "STOP IT!" Asgore shouted, getting Daniel into a harder point. He knew it will piss the king mind's off, however, he will resist to harm. Asgore use his trident to hit Daniel to a cornered point. Daniel gets up, having 8HP left. He keeps miss aiming at Asgore. Asgore tighten his fits, holding it in his chest. "Enough. YOU MUST KILL ME NOW OR DIE!" Asgore cried. Daniel sense Asgore's attack went up to infinity. Then, without hesitation, Asgore tried to punch and slice Daniel with his fists and trident. Then, one finale blow on Daniel with a strong punch. Daniel was looms in the air, fallen to the centre of the Throne Room, having a half of HP. Daniel feels blood flow on his head, he whined while he gets up, staring up at Asgore who looms above him. Asgore was shaken his fits, shaking his trident. Then, he suddenly drops his trident on purpose. He fallen to his knees, feeling defeated and weakened. "Why? Why will you not fight back? Why must you refuse to fight, Chara?" Asgore asked, which brought confusion to Daniel. Asgore must've had a memory of Chara that never fight back. "If you were just a little stronger...Perhaps...Perhaps you could of not died from my son..." Asgore replied, shaken down. Then, Fredbear came with pieces of Mercy, he fixes them up together for Daniel to spare. Fredbear nodded as she moves out of the way. "Thanks, Fredbear..." Daniel whispered, smiling a bit. Daniel pressed his hand on the button, processing to Save Asgore. "..? What is this? What are you doing? Stop it." Asgore replied, ignoring what Daniel is doing for him. Daniel keeps trying to save Asgore, keeping him from being drag to Hell. "What made you think there were good in me? There is no good in me. Not after what I have done! I have hurt a lot of people! I have ruined the lives of millions. Is there a point in doing this?" Daniel stays determined to save Asgore. "What do you see that compels you to...To even consider saving a Monster so underserving?" Asgore asked. Daniel keeps going. "What good do you see in me!? I am the true villain of this world! So why are you saving me?" Asgore asked, looking confused, like he doesn't know the meaning of Kindness or the strength of Loyalty and Justices. "I do not understand." Daniel is determined. "I cannot understand!" Asgore cried. Fredbear join in, wanted to save Asgore, pressing the broken button with Daniel. Then, blue tears were dripping from his corner eyes, it nearly made Daniel to cry but he keeps trying to save him. "My actions are unforgivable. My decisions are unforgivable. My persistence on continuing this trail of suffering is unforgivable. So why...Why are you saving me?" Asgore cried, they both pressed Save. "Answer me...Why...? Why continue down this path? Do you not understand this world cares not for your well-being? Instead cares only for the strong and able? You are but a child. And yet you have demonstrated an unheard of quantities of kindness...But do you not understand there are those whom will use your kindness against you? To harm you? And to those whom you cherish most? But after all the horrible deeds I have executed. And of all the sins I now carry upon my back...It is you that refuses to deliver the fitting end...The final judgement for all my crimes against both Monsters and human kind. The end I truly deserve. Thus I will ask again...Why must you save this miserable creature before you?" Asgore asked, look so weak but broken due to the sins he have craved. Daniel was silent, couldn't think a better explanation. "...I wonder the same thing..." Fredbear responded. Daniel blinked while he look at Fredbear who was thinking. "...Someone told him to fight people to survive this weird place...But he never hurt anyone...Why didn't you, Daniel...?" Fredbear asked, looking at Daniel. Daniel never said a word, thinking why he haven't fight anyone, nor on his older brother. Then, he soon realise the reason he has never thought in those days. "I...I have no interest to worsen the suffering of others. I think...Pain and Suffering is already a basic thing in this world. I don't want to participate the rules of "It's Kill or Be Killed" That tradition has already grow long enough. Sometimes, it's easy to cause chaos than being good. But I proven myself that people can change to good, it may not fix the past, but it can change something in the future. If the world gets there, it might not able to go back." Daniel explained. Everyone was silent, knowing Daniel hasn't finish yet. "It scares me what the world would be like. Besides, killing may make you feel better, but will that solve results? If I killed you, it's not gonna solve my problems, my fear, my relationship, and my family bond. What I believe in this world: It's SAVE or BE SAVED!" Daniel explained. Asgore never spoken, seems surprise what Daniel has justify. It was a silent moment, speechless what Daniel has believed. "I am not sure what to say..." Asgore spoken, staying silent for a moment. "I...I would not believe a vile creature such as I deserve to be saved...And yet...I do want to be saved, however...All the horrible things I have done...I can never possibly imagine myself being forgiven. Let alone be saved from it. From the madness that is myself...The madness that was created long ago. My anger, my sorrow, my grievance...The Death of my children..." Asgore silent himself, looking for more letters, but instead, he laugh a bit. "Ha...I remember...I remember my son were always the ill-tempered child he is. Always so brash, confident of his choices...I suppose...As a result, he killed my adopted child." Asgore replied, as soon he said it, tears became a waterfall in his face. "That child was so kind and innocent...Perhaps...I mellowed because of Chara...But when he..." Suddenly, he sob, shaking a lot. "It is all my fault. The day of which Chara died, in anger I...I lashed out at him...Perhaps if I did not, he might not have taken the soul of Chara and ventured out to the Surface. He...He came back...He was brutally beaten and wounded...My poor boy, Asriel...He had one last request before he died. Please...Don't kill the humans." Asgore explained, calming down a bit. "I...I did not know who to blame...I blamed everyone. I blamed my wife. I blamed the humans. I blamed my guards. I blamed my kingdom. But too pathetic to blame myself...The actions I have took from that point on. Justified it with nonsense...Calling myself evil...A tyrant...I just...I just want it to end. Knowing nothing will go back to how it was...Believing there is no meaning in life...Just an endless cycle of the strong taking from the weak...So I embraced it...Even so...Maybe I was fooling myself believing all humans are evil. Denying to myself that Chara is human themselves. I cannot...Cannot undo what I have done. I am too much of a coward to face my regrets. Too much of a coward to acknowledge my conscience. Too much of a coward to fix and undo this norm I put out. This to kill or be killed ideology...It is maddening. But I am just too cowardice to change my ways..." Daniel sadden what Asgore has to go through, he walks up to Asgore and hug him. His arms may not wrap around Asgore but can still give him a hug. "Human...What is your name?" Asgore asked, looking down at Daniel. "Daniel" Daniel responded with a smile. "Daniel...Thank you." Asgore replied, hugging Daniel back, healing Daniel's HP up to 20. "But I do not deserve this. Nor should you. Daniel, please, take my soul and crossed the barrier. I will not allow an innocent child be corrupted by my presence any longer." Asgore replied, letting Daniel to kill him and leave this dreadful place. However, Daniel thought about all the good memories of the underground, getting his arm healed by Sans, which brought tears coming down his cheek. He look at Asgore and shook his head. "No, I won't take your soul, I won't kill you." Daniel replied, denying Asgore's offer while wiping his tears off. Asgore look shocked. "But...But why?" Asgore asked. Daniel smile a bit. "because I am home!" Daniel cheered. "I...I see...This place may not be suitable for a child like you. But I promise you, no harm will not touch a hair upon your head. Please, is there any request you have?" Asgore asked. "No, but...I think, there's someone who might has the last human soul for the barrier." Daniel replied, smiling while looking at Fredbear. Fredbear blinked and look at Asgore as if she were smiling. "...Can we see the barrier...?" Fredbear asked, ignoring the brightness in Asgore's eyes. "Of course! This way." Asgore answered, acting like himself from a long time ago. He led them to a dead garden, seems like flowers never grown here. "I might need to water my garden again." Asgore replied, checking the plants. "Is it alright if I can help?" Daniel asked. "Of course, I would like some help!" Asgore replied, cheerfully adorable. Daniel felt like he just met the older version of Asgore but feeling better after taking a nice nap. "...Where's the souls...?" Fredbear asked, walking into the room where the barrier is. "It's in the Barrier Room, this way." Asgore replied, leading Fredbear to the barrier room. Then, Daniel spot a Save Point, he might as well save it. "Believing that the villain can changed fills you with Determination." Daniel smiled. He felt like a hero, feeling proud of himself to be brave against fear, no, terror, that's the word he was thinking of. He stop once he has his eyes on The Barrier, the incredible force to separate the Surface and the Underground. "This is the Barrier. This what trapped us all in the underground. It is not long now. Are you all ready to continue?" Asgore asked, smiling while look at the barrier. Daniel stare at the barrier, knowing this might be their happy ending to get out of this place. He nodded. Asgore pressed a switch in his pocket, suddenly, 7 empty circulars chambers build up from the ground, no souls were there. Daniel click as realisation, forgotten the plan he has explained to Flowey. "Wha-What!?" Asgore asked, looking shocked as he look of the empty. Before he could turn to Daniel, a struck of a vine with spikes cuts through the king's chest, releasing all the blood out. Daniel trembled after what he saw, Asgore tumbled to his knees, then fallen. There was nothing but black dust across the clothing. "Asgore..." Daniel whispered, his eyes was vibrating. "I did it! I did what you planned!" Flowey cheered, getting the six souls circled around him. Daniel shook his head, trying to talk to Flowey. "Now! You can finally go home! Let me transform! I will become their new ruler!" Flowey was too quick to think twice. "STO—Error-Error-Lost-connection-Restart-Restart-Wattpad-Complete.
