I guess you can say it was nice having my friends along the ride...The problem is; we have to split up separately. I know what you readers are thinking; you're probably saying "what the f&ck man? Why are you splitting up at an event like this?" Whelp, here's an explanation for you. Supposed the kid catches wind of my presence and gets me and the girls at once, who's going to stop them? also, I can take a few more Zs after what happened last time I fought the kid. As Adagio and Aria walked and asked the people a few questions and observed the area, I and Sonata decided to find a high view of the place to see if we can observe the others and keep an eye out for them.
"So far, the only place that's high enough is the Canterlot High School building," Sonata stated.
"Alright, led me there," I said. Sonata hesitated and rubbed her arm.
"I don't think...that's a...good idea," She said. I sighed and gave her my hand.
"Grab on," I said. As she did my eye glowed and teleported us to the place where Sonata thought of. As we appeared on the roof, she was awestruck and....' dazzled' at the view.
"Wow; I only heard rumors that this place was beautiful during the day but...," She overlooked the area and took in a deep breath. I walked up and overlooked the town. It was pretty big, yet easy to see everything from afar. I soon turned my head and saw a city.
"What's over there?" I asked.
"Don't know, I heard that place is where these schools arch-enemies are...Distal Prop or something?" She said scratching her head. I sighed and stared out. It would be easy for the kid to hide here, big buildings, lots of corners, and crannies to hide in. This was going to be a bit harder than I thought. As we continued to look out, I asked Sonata a question.
“So why do you feel nervous here?” I asked. Sonata tilts her head down as if she was ashamed of even remembering.
“Last time we were here; he had a magical power…We were manipulating the entire school and gathering it’s negative energy to make us powerful. We turned friends and loved ones against one another in an event called The Battle of The Bands. We had the whole school at our fingertips,” She said. I stared at her and couldn’t help but think that they were no different from the kid.
“Well, what happened? You had all that power, where did it go?” I asked her as I took a bottle of ketchup out and took a sip.
“We were defeated…By a group of seven friends. Even as we tried to tear them apart they stood up and fought for their friend's will and saved the school; and they also got rid of our magic. It was humiliating, yet depressing. We had all this power and yet we…we…,” She began shivering.
“Do you know why you were defeated?” I asked. She sighed.
“We lost because we were weak?” She stated. I shook my head.
“Sure you had all that power; and it almost got you victory. But in the end; you girls lost because you only looked after your skin; when these other girls came together and fought for those they cared and loved. Magic alone can be powerful; but only having the power to fight for something you love or believe in can grant you your wishes and your desires,” I said. Sonata looked at her palms and clenched a fist.
“How can you be so sure?” She asked. I made a slight narrow grin and chuckled.
“Because I know what it feels like to have everything you have taken away from you,” I stated. As we continued to look out she looked at me and remember saying I had a family.
“Did you lose something precious to you?” She asked. I looked at her and stared at the horizon. Of course, I did; I lost everything I loved: Undyne, Alphys, Toriel, Asgor…and Papyrus. I lost my friends, my family. The kid was alright I thought; but then their attitude changed, their motions changed and before I realized it, it was too late. I clenched my bone like a fist and my eye began to glow again. Sonata saw and placed a hand on my shoulder.
Sans…Sans…SANS!” She shouted. I realized I was dazing off ad saw her concerned.
“You alright there buddy?” She asked. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
“Eh, all this watching is making…’ bone’ tired,” I said. Sonata couldn’t help but laugh at my pun. I smiled.
“For a skeleton guy we met not too long ago, you sure are ‘hummers’!” She said. I chuckled and fell on the floor. We both stood up staring over the area. I then see from a distance and noticed Adagio and Aria were given a note by some stranger.
“Looks like your friends found something. I’ll go check it out, stay here and contact us if you find anything,” I said. I then snap my fingers and teleported to Adagio and Aria. The looks on their faces when I appeared out of nowhere was priceless.
“Holy-! What the hell Sans?!” Aria shouted. I shrugged.
“What, I thought I told you I do this all the time,” I said.
“You didn’t,” Adagio said. I shrugged.
“What did you find?” I asked. Adagio held up a map and placed it down on the table.
“The man at Sugar Cube Corners said they heard reports of a kid wandering the outskirts of the town. Normally it’s just a dank neighborhood that’s filled with abandoned houses and a junkyard. Not even the Diamond Boys go there,” She said.
“Whelp; we better go there,” I said. The others looked at me with shock.
“What are you insane? No one that has ever ventured into that place has ever returned,” Aria said.
“Well I am not just anyone…Besides; you girls did enough and I don’t want you to get caught up anymore,” I said. The others were confused at this. As I explained to them my problem and how it no longer needs them a certain creature decided to make their appearance.
**** ****** *****
""Chara, are you sure it's alright for us to keep doing this?". Flowey asked as he followed them. Chara spun around and smiled as she felt the cool breeze hit their face.
"You just don't get it, do ya Flowey? This world is just begging me to erase them. How can I ignore their request for doing so?" They said as they walked and put on their green hoodie. Sonata was looking out from her post and saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly the phone rings and she sees the caller ID; It was Adagio.
"What's up?" She asked.
"Sonata, we're heading back, met us back at the house ASAP," She said.
"Okay boss! See ya later," She said as she hung up the phone. As Sonata was about to pack it up, she noticed a little kid wandering the streets; dancing? It also looked like they were having a good time, too good. She made her way to the ladder and climb down from the building. As she touched the ground, she quietly followed and observed the kid. She heard them humming some sort of tune and to be frank t was kinda creepy. As she continued to watch he saw an officer walked up to the child.
"Little kid. You shouldn't e out here," He replied. The kid's head tilts puzzled.
"How come mister?" The child asked.
"There's a murder about and the mayor is calling a martial law. All civilians must go back to their homes," He stated. Sonata knew she stuck around long enough. But as she was about to leave the child began to giggle and sigh.
"Really... A killer...? Now that's more...LIKE IT!" The child shouted. Sonata then heard a blood-curdling scream that forced her to turn and look. The officer was on the floor bedding out as he had received a gash across his arm. The man fell and began to panicky crawl away. The kid then laughs as if they had just taken drugs.
"Who...Who are you..? What the hell are you?" The officer began to cry in fear as he was holding his wound backing away as the kid walked towards him and began to hum again and smile.
"Gee sir...Don't you know? You said it yourself," Chara stated. The Officer began to crawl away again and cry out like a wounded puppy.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" The officer shouted and pleaded...But nobody came. The officer starts to cry again and tremble fearfully.
"...Looks like no one came...," Chara said laughing.
"What the hell are you? ANSWER ME DAMMIT!" The Officer shouted. Chara smiled widely and made a devilish look in her eyes and deformed her face.
"It's like you said, sir...I'M A MURDERER," Chara stated as her face started to melt and charged the down man. As Sonata continued to watch she saw the officer then pinned to the ground and repeatedly being stab over, and over and over; blood filling the street as the man screaming and wails soon turned into faint coughs, gags, and moans as he fell and died. Chara then stood up and extend their arms and hand out. The officer was then turning into a light spectrum and was entering Chara's body. Sonata witnessed and nearly threw up as she knew what Sans was warning them about. A SAVE file then appeared and Chara touched the CONTINUE button, as she gained more Lv.
"Holy...I have to get out of here," Sonata whispered silently as she began to crawl away. However that was thwarted by a certain face popping in the bushes with a dark, dripping melted face dripping in blood.
"Where do you think you're going blue?" Chara asked. Sonata jump and moved quickly away from Chara as they stood up and held their blood-soaked knife.
"You...You just straight murdered that man!" Sonata shouted, trembling in her shoes.
"What can I say; I love to murder those who get in my way. Then again; I don't care. As long as I gain more Lv, I'll be unstoppable," Chara said. Sonata stood firm, yet sweat was dripping from her head down; her legs shivering and unable to move, her arms and fist clenched yet terrified to call or do anything. Not only that; she sensed this kid's aura. It was so much darkness, so much hatred, and death.
"You...You're the one San's been looking for," She stated. Charas ears flinched as she heard that lazy bones name.
"So...You know smiley trash bag?" They stated. Sonata gulped and began to take a few steps back slowly.
"What did you do him? He was badly hurt; why are you doing this?!" She asked. Chara began to laugh.
"I don't have to tell you that," They stated and pointed their knife at her. Sonata wanted to make a break for it, all she ever wanted was to make friends, or better yet, be with hers. Suddenly, she remembered what Sans was telling her a moment ago.
"Magic alone can be powerful; but only having the power to fight for something you love or believe in can grant you your wishes and your desires,"/color]. Sonata looked around and saw a metal pipe. She grabbed it and took a stance. Chara chuckled and looked at Sonatas stats.
"Sonata Dusk...
Attack:22
Defense:11; Nothing special," Chara stated and began to walk towards her prey. Sonata took in a deep breath and sighed. She then glared her eyes and charged the demon child head-on.
"You think you can defeat me?!" Chara shouted. She blocked Sonatas's attack and laugh. Sonata knew this was hopeless, if Sans couldn't defeat this kid what makes her any different? But she shook her head and focused on the battle; and a good thing because Chara was moving and sliced at Sonata, who manage to doge and get back up to her feet.
"I will stop you; you devil!" She shouted and charged again. Chara smirked and teleported; then reappeared behind Sonata. Chara then lands a strike on her. Sonata screamed and fell as she felt the pain surging through her. However; she wasn't out yet.
"Hmm...Interesting. Your Def. is only 11, yet you stood against my attack. This may be interesting after all," Chara said licking her lips. Sonata stood up and remembered that her magic was working as well. As she saw the pole she concentrated on what Sans told her and did something Chara least expected. Sonata raised her weapon in the sky and pointed at her foe as the ordinary metal pipe, turned into a glowing blue spear. Ciara's mind went through a flashback and shook her head in dismay.
"It...It works!" Sonata squealed happily, yet focusing on the fight. Chara made a few slashes and set a wave of red attacks at Sonata. However, Sonata's magic and her weapon blocked every attack as she defended herself. She then channels her magic spear to multiply and sent a barrage of spear attacks at Chara. Chara dodged almost all of them, except when the last one passed them, Sonata ran up and was able to deliver a blow to Chara's face. The child fell and stood, as Sonata stood up and smiled at them. Chara touched her face and licked the blood that was coming from her cheek. She then smiled and her grin got even bigger with anticipation and excitement.
"NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! I HAVEN'T HAD A SCRATCH ON ME SINCE THE BATTLE WITH SAN'S!" Chara exclaimed. Sonata knew she could keep like this forever; this was the kid who committed Genocide and defeated all of San's strongest warriors, including himself almost. She had to find a way to escape while making sure this kid wasn't going to hurt anyone. Just then Chara's attacks became quicker and she even became faster. Sonata took a few dashes back, yet Chara was already in her face. Sonata blocked every attack Chara threw at her, yet she knew something was up. She soon felt tired and panted heavily while Chara stood in place barley breaking a sweat.
"*Pant*...*pant*...Th...this isn't where...*pant*...I'll fall," Sonata exclaimed as she raised her spear. Chara smiled and charged her again, this time she was moving even faster than before and managed to bang up Sonata a bit, throw her into a wall, slice her arm, scratched her face and punched her stomach. Sonata fell on the ground, yet she wasn't gonna let it end here. However, she can barely stand up and her magic began to fade, soon her awesome spear turned back into a pipe, and blood was dripping from her head, eyes, arm, everywhere. Sonata fell on her knees and struggled to stay focused and up.
"Guess the fun needed too early. Too bad, I wanted to have more fun. Now you die," Chara said. Just then a blue ray of magic shot through the room, separating Chara from Sonata. As Sonata looked up she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her, arm extended as the hero blocked her. Sonata then saw her friends Adagio and Aria running and helping her up, shouting her name.
"A...Adagio...Aria...an...and...Sans," Sonata fainted in her friend arms. Sans looked back and placed her hand on Sonata's face.
"You did good kid; you did well. Adagio and Aria will help you...Leave this to the big kids now," Sans said as he clenched his fist and turned around to see his enemy again.
"Hey Sansy...I missed you," Chara stated. I made a grin and placed his hands in his pockets and his eye began to form a blue power as he was now ready for round two.
"I missed you too...Chara!" I shouted as I formed my Gaster blasters and my bone attack at the ready.
