//------------------------------// // Chapter 5:No mercy // Story: Golden Soul // by Inactive Pone //------------------------------// After losing the first two battles, the seven humans set out for the third battle. Although the saying goes, 'Third time's the charm', they don't want to be cocky just yet. They still have to battle him to make sure. 'Well... My last journey is here,' Asriel whispered to Nathan. 'I really wish it won't be, Asriel. You know that all of us don't want to die.' The group kept on chatting and they were suddenly right by the castle. They walked towards the throne room, and finally stopped in front of the door. They know this may be the end of their paths. Mark touched the handlebars. 'Well... This is it, guys.' Jessica nodded. 'Everyone ready?' 'Time to shut him up!' Dan exclaimed. They opened the doors, and on Celestia's throne, sat the violent killer. 'Ah, it's about time you guys-' He opened his eyes and saw the group. 'What the-' 'We know it's you, Felix! Stop hiding it from us!' Mark shouted. He gasped. 'Mark? What are you doing here!?' 'None of your business!' Nathan yelled back. 'Hmph, very well.' Felix muttered. 'I wasn't expecting you guys, though. But, that's just gonna help me more. I could use a little one versus seven-fight right now, I am so bored. You're just here because you don't want Frisk to be killed. All of you are just trying to protect her. Sounds good? No! You guys just fail before me! You know she couldn't hide from me forever!' Asriel was furious. 'Shut up, you bigot!' He was shocked. No one has ever called him that before. 'Heh, here we are again, just me and you guys, right? With your weapons, your golden friend on the line, you should better be prepared because soon...' Felix pulled out his swords, and everyone did the same. 'Your last hour strikes!' And then while fighting, everyone started to sing as they go. 'One more step now, it's almost time... Show you what my determination has still left for you to get back to, You should prepare to just die! Like all your friends, you'll have a really good time...' 'But kids like you don't play by the rules, And guys like us, It ain't easy to be played for fools... So let's go, let the room get chiller... Let's go, dirty pony killer! (Let's go, just another killer!)' 'Go ahead and try to kill me if you're able, But inside you know that death can't be evaded... I know you're getting really sick of trying, But I even come back after dying...' 'You're not gonna win, We'll be here together, Fighting in this throne room for forever, I know you'll just respawn each time we beat you, But we'll always be right back here to meet you...' 'We are all made, of~ Love~ Oh.... Love~ Love~ Oh...' While the humans are powerful enough to kill Felix over and over again, it was no use since his powers got to the point where he could just revive himself, over and over again. However, the humans never gave up trying, and sometimes tried to show mercy. But, the two sides were at an impasse. 'This is where it stops... This is where it ends... If you want to get past us, Well, you better think again...' 'But even if I hear you, I won't give up my attack... Do you just like the feeling, Of your sins crawling on your back?' 'Go ahead and try to kill us if you're able, You should know by now that mercy's off the table, Think that you can try to spare us like we're some pawns? Well, you didn't spare the others, SO GET DUNKED ON!' 'Why not let me win? You can't dodge forever! Even if the pain is more fun together, You know I will just respawn and come back newer, And with every time, I'm getting even faster than you are!' 'I am made, of~ Love... Oh~ Love~ Love~ Oh....' As the battle raged on, the humans were slowly getting exhausted. This made their winning chances significantly dropping. Felix was slowly powering through the humans, but they still tried their best to stay alive. 'This is where it stops... This is where it ends... You keep telling me those words, And hope that I will understand...' 'But no matter how we stall you, You don't give up your attack... Can you just not see the truth, Or can you not see what this all meant!?' 'Go ahead and try to kill me if you're able, But inside you know that death can't be evaded... You think I might decide to stop if you show mercy, But I am getting you with my DETERMINATION!' 'We know you made our friends all disappear, (You know I made your friends all disappear,) But everything they cared about... (Erasing this whole world...) Is why we're here. (This is why I'm here.) We are their mercy, (I will keep fighting,) We are their vengeance, (You should be dying,) We are DETERMINATION! (That is your DESTINATION!) 'We're entirely made, of~ Love~ Oh... But I think we're stronger than you! Love~ Love... Oh~ I am stronger than you... (High pitched) Love~ Oh~ Love! We are stronger than you! Love~ Oh... Love...' As the song finished, the humans were getting thrown one by one. 'You guys are finished!' Felix roared. Jessica was blocking his attack. '(Grunts) No! I won't lose!' A minute later, Felix swung his sword, and he flipped her sword away, and with a loud roar, he stabbed the sword right into her soul. And she was gone. 'Jess, no!' Mark cried. He turned to Felix and charged at him furiously. 'You'll pay for this!!!' As the two engaged in a sword fight, it didn't take long for Felix to knock Mark out, giving him the chance to control gravity and let him fall right onto the tip of his blades. 'Oh no! Mark is down!' Asriel cried. Felix levitated the souls right out of their bodies. They both had a mystical glow, one of them is magenta coloured and the other is yellow. 'Aha! This fight wasn't a waste! This is not any ordinary soul, it's one of the exotic souls! I have been looking everywhere for this type of souls!' He exclaimed, pulling out a crystal chest. 'Let's see here... This one goes here, and this one goes there.' Twilight and Frisk were confused to what he was doing. 'What is he doing? Frisk, any ideas?' Twilight asked. Frisk thought for a bit. 'Wait a minute...' Her mind sparked a terrible thought. 'The exotic souls... I know what they are! They were the ones representing them all along!?' 'What are they?' 'I've heard about them from a book, it said that the exotic souls consists of eight human souls: Soul of Bravery, Soul of Justice,Soul of Kindness, Soul of Patience, Soul of Integrity, Soul of Perseverance, Soul of Hope and Soul of Determination. When a user uses all eight souls at the same time, they will become a god or goddess.' She explained. Suddenly, another thought came into her mind. 'That's it! I understand why he's killing us all now!' Twilight gasped. 'Why? Tell me!' Just before Frisk was going to say anything, they heard another scream. 'Another one is down!?' She gasped in horror. Twilight tried to speak to the remaining ones. 'Nathan, who went down?' He was trying to attack Felix. 'It's Stacy! She just got wrecked to pieces!' 'Oh dear... The girls are both down!' Frisk cried. 'Get off my sight!' Felix spun around in a insane speed, and threw them hard into the pillars. 'No! Not like this!' Joseph cried. He charged up energy balls in his hand, and fired them towards the two defenceless warriors. '(Grunts) No!!!!!' Shouted Dan. And then, both of them were gone as well. Asriel was extremely worried. 'It's only the two of us...' 'There's no way, he's too strong!' Nathan replied. Felix laughed. 'Don't you understand why I am doing this? I am the the god of this world! I will get all eight souls, and I will finally fulfill my dream!' Frisk was very nervous. 'Come on, brother... You got this!' Nathan signalled Asriel to attack him on both sides. They both got ready while Felix was talking to himself. 'Now, to get your souls and-' He saw the two weren't there. 'What in the-' 'Do it now!' Nathan shouted to Asriel. They both jumped up high in the air, and tempted to use their swords against him. Felix was blocking both ways, but still surprisingly held on. He managed to fight them off. 'Shockwave spell!' He used the soul of bravery, and made a sword that initiated a shockwave when he stabbed it to the ground. The two were powerless after they got thrown. 'Just give me your souls already!' Finally, Felix threw the sword across the room, and it got caught straight into the two's necks. And thus, the third round, too, had failed. Even with the power of their souls inside, it wasn't enough. He grabbed all the souls of the five remaining humans. 'Yes... YES! It's mine!' He exclaimed joyfully. 'These seven souls... I wanted them for so long, finally they are in the palms of my hands! Bravery, justice, kindness, patience, intergrity, perseverance and hope... I just need one more soul... before I become god.' He put the souls inside the slots of the crystal chest, leaving one slot remaining. That last soul, was the soul that represented Frisk: Soul of determination. 'One last soul... I am coming for you, Frisk. I hope you are prepared.' He thought to himself, as he took his belongings and his new set of treasures, and set out once again.
