The whole group was waiting for the dust to clear after that attack.
'(Grunts) No way... No way he's still alive.' Frisk grunted.
Felix stopped her as she was about to run and smash his body to pieces. 'Don't go nuts yet, Frisk. I think I may be able to tell...'
And he was right. Gromiz emerged from the dust, his face filled with regret.
'Are you kidding me!? Arghh!!!!' Frisk roared, trying to escape from the magic shield that Felix was trapping her with.
Felix slapped her in the face. 'Snap out of it! Let me talk to him!'
Seeing everyone agrees with him, Frisk barely let that slide. So, Felix went over to the wizard.
'Gromiz... I haven't seen you like this in years! So, have you learned your lesson yet? Hmm!?' He complained, crossing his arms.
When the king turned around, he was crying, and immediately started to bow before his son.
'I'm so sorry!!! Please forgive me, my son! Please!!' He cried.
Felix laughed. 'I cannot believe you have suffered defeat ever since the idea of taking over Britannica hit you. I wasn't there the first time, but now I see the joy of seeing you suffer in shame and loss. Boy, I will never forget this moment where I took revenge on my puppet master!'
Gromiz was holding his legs and crying even harder. 'Please forgive me, Felix... Honestly, I did not mean to do this at all! I wasn't the puppet master after all of this!'
'Wait, you weren't?' He asked.
'I wasn't the one who controlled them. The truth is... I was the one controlled.'
'What!?' Everyone gasped.
'I'll explain everything later.' Gromiz said. 'But now, all I can say is... I am sincerely sorry for everything I have done. To you two children, to all of your lives... To my son...' He looked at Frisk. 'And I cannot describe how sorry and regretful I am for killing your parents, Frisk Dreemur.'
Frisk got up. 'Forgive you? Are you telling me to forgive YOU!? The one who murdered my family!?' She pulled her blade. 'Oh, my Celestia! I have waited all my life, I have waited for so many years for this moment! I can finally take my revenge once and for all!' She said, having a huge smile on her face.
Gromiz had his arms up. 'I mean it, Frisk. I will do anything to repay you... Anything to get your mercy... Please...'
Twilight ran to her and shook her. 'Frisk, listen to me! You are not a genocidal killer! Do you want to be one!?'
'Twilight, You don't understand. I-'
Even her brother, who is her husband, slapped her in anger. 'Stop it, sister! Even I think what you're thinking is wrong! I suffered the same thing as you, but he means it. He wants mercy from you.'
Even Astell shook her arm. 'Mom, you can't be like this. I have known you all my life as a peace-making, legendary pacifist. You can't change it just like that!'
Frisk had a furious look on her face and seemed like she really hated that idea.
'Sis, if you can't get yourself back in control, I will fight you! I swear!' Asriel cried, and then they started to pull her and stopping her from attacking the king.
'I'll help!' Nathan said, joining them.
In this situation, even Celestia wasn't amused.
'Luna, do your thing.' She said.
She cleared her voice and used the royal Canterlot voice spell. 'Frisk Dreemur!' She yelled furiously.
They all stopped in shock.
Celestia went to her. 'Listen, Frisk. You were once a true pacifist. Someone who has made so many friends. You have to cope with your past, and allow them to have a second chance. Time will never delay. You can't change the past. Your parents have died, you must get over that!'
Flurry patted Frisk's back kindly. 'That's right. You guys had differences in the past, but everyone needs some love in their life. Couldn't you let this slide? Please? For my auntie? I know you two are best friends.'
As they were chatting, Felix started another song.


'Would you say,
I'm a hero,
Glorious and brave...
If I told you something you wouldn't believe?
That sometimes, we're scared,
And we can't make mistakes...
And we're not that heroic, it seems...

But if Day can turn to night,
And the darkness turn to light,
Then why can't you imagine...
A villain can change?'

As he sang, the others started to take his side and stood for his side to give mercy to the poor, fallen villain.

'Real heroes do not really have to fight,
No villain in this world is just evil...
And we thought we were strong,
But we were nothing but wrong...
When we forgot,
To be so merciful!

So if Day can turn to night,
And the darkness turn to light,
Then why can't we imagine,
A villain can change?'

'Would you say,
We are heroes,
Glorious and brave...'
'If we told you something,
You wouldn't believe?'
'This villain, it seems,
Knows to be kind...'
'And stay by our side...
Till the end!'

'So if Day can turn to night,
And the darkness turns to light...
Then why can't you imagine...
Oh, Frisk, why don't you think...
Just why can't you imagine,
A villain can change?'

They all marched aside, revealing Gromiz behind them, desperate for her mercy.
'Frisk, I am truly sorry for my actions. I promise you, I will never do anything to harm you guys again. Can you ever forgive me?' He asked, with tears in his eye.
She was pitted up with an important decision. Does she risk it and show mercy, just so he can possibly kill her, or will she take her sweet revenge for all these years, and kill him here?
What will be her fate? The choice is yours to pick.
