Ch 94: Asgore.

Asgore: "Human...isn't it curious? I've never seen a Flower so desperate before. That was a new experience. And a new experience is always to be appreciated...or at least learned from...but-"

*Asgore's eyes are dull, and though he's far larger than you could ever grow to be he is the one who appears small. (never)

Asgore: "I truly wished for this day to never come. Though I knew it would harden my heart...I always feared that a human would fall...and end Monsterkind once and for all...you...you are still human, right?"

Frisk: "Oh, I haven't been human for a long time."

Asgore: "I see..."

*Asgore raises his trident. In turn, you raise your brow.

Frisk: "You think you can beat me?"

*Asgore smiles in the way rulers must for their citizens to not despair.

Asgore: "Oh, I know I can't. But a King can not flee his kingdom...if not it wouldn't be a KINGdom...would it?"

*You politely laugh.

Frisk: "Very charming my liege. Y'know, I've always respected your heart. To carry on a plan you hate for the sake of your people...in my most desperate moments, I'd often think of you. Of how you withstood everything for the people you loved...but, in the end, you failed. Did you not?"

*Asgore knee bends like a heavy weight was strapped onto his back...but he remains standing. As a king should never crawl...after all, how else would anyone know how to walk!?

Frisk: 'Ha, I remember that one.'

*Yeah...I always thought of them as bad jokes...now I know they're the weights of the ruling.

Frisk: 'Hmm, let's relieve him of his crown once and for all.'

Frisk: "It's fine Asgore, I failed as well. But now...we shall all go to a better place. But before then...you have one final thing to teach this youngling."

*You enter a battle stance.

Frisk: "Come Asgore, show me the heart of a king! So I can rule with its guidance!"

*A sprinkle of joy enters Asgore's smile.

Asgore: "You are an odd child...and you have done awful things...but...I can not help but feel...that in another time...we could've been friends. Hahaha-"

*Asgore's smile vanishes, nothing but regret and pain is left.

Asgore: "I am truly awful to think such things about the one who has taken so much from my kingdom. I'll rectify my sin-"

*Asgore sprints toward you faster than a bullet.

Asgore: "With your blood!"

*Asgore thrusts at you with his trident, and you parry with your knife.

Frisk: "Your form is excellent, but excellency isn't enough to beat me!"

*Asgore's trident and your knife clash in the middle, you grin as Asgore pushes with all his might...yet is unable to move you by an inch.

Frisk: "Your strength is that of a mountain king...but I have out-soared such heights already!"

Asgore: "Then be burnt to a crisp by my volcano's wrath!"

*A beam of flame shoots from Asgore's mouth. You're pushed back and given little time to recover before Asgore's eyes flash.

Frisk: 'Orange, blue, blue, orange, blue, orange, blue, orange, orange, blue, orange!'

*You dodge accordingly, moving and stopping whenever needed. Asgore huffs and nearly falls over as the entire Underground shakes.

???: "Meteor has landed, no life r-"

Frisk: "Shut up! I'm having too much fun for you to ruin it!"

*The shaking only gets worse.

Asgore: "H-human, what is happening?!"

*You run towards Asgore.

Frisk: "Nothing you didn't know already-"

*Asgore struggles to block your first slash

Frisk: "You're just-"

*Asgore is pushed back.

Frisk: "Fighting at the world's end!"

*Asgore's trident is cut in half.

*You allow him to gain distance. You point your knife at him with a relaxed smile.

Frisk: "Are you done already? Y'know... feel free to absorb those souls. Don't worry, I'll give you the time."

*It's Asgore's turn to raise a brow.

Asgore: "You're being quite generous for someone who's trying to kill you."

Frisk: "Well you can't blame a kid for wanting to have fun with a friend, especially if that friend might be...moving soon."

Asgore: "...I don't think I understand."

*You shrug.

Frisk: "It's probably best if you don't. Point is, you should have fun! Let's let out all the pent-up frustration we have about this awful world! One last thrilling battle before the end!"

*Asgore smiles...but it's very strained.

Asgore: "Apologies, but I don't think I can enjoy this. Despite all its cruelties, all I feel at the world's end...is a sadness that it could not continue a bit longer..."

Frisk: "...You wouldn't say that. If you knew what I knew... you'd let go of that bullshit morality and just cut loose for a bit."

Asgore: "But I do not know what you do...and so, for the sake of everyone, I will not prolong this any longer."

*Asgore cups his hands together and begins singing in a hauntingly low pitch... it's even more beautiful when accompanied by Toriel's heaven-piercing soprano.

Asgore: "Ever burning flame, turn this beast to ash in a flash, let my kingdom rest-"

*You hardly notice Asgore's chant. Even as you feel the ground warm up.

Frisk: "I...I could change that you know. I could-"

*Your words are nothing but yearning whispers to even your own ears...even so, stop.

Frisk: 'Why? Just let me have some fun! Let Asgore have fun! Let-'

*He'd only hurt more if he understood what was loss.

Frisk: '...But I...I-"

*Before you can finish, fire ruptures from the ground beneath you.

Asgore: "Let this child's quest end in death!"

*The flame doubles in force, then as Asgore undoes his prayer it-

*BOOM!

*...Clouds of dust cover the room, Asgore is on his knees, huffing and puffing from the strain of such an attack.

Asgore: "A-ah..."

*He lets out a soundless scream as your knife pierces straight through his chest and soul.

Frisk: "I'm...not selfish enough to play with someone who's not having fun. If you want this to end quickly...then so be it."

*You rip the knife off Asgore's chest...he collapses to the floor.

Asgore: "I...I see...so nothing but pity is what kept me alive...ha...ha...ha-"

*...Asgore's soul trembles and shakes and...then shatters apart. (convey)

*...Goodbye, dad.

*...One left.
