Chapter 8
"Your majesty..." The Knave of hearts said as he knelt in front of the Red Queen.
"What?!" Chara screams at him.
"Where are the prisoneers..? AND WHERE IS MY JUBJUB?!"
"Majesty, Frisk has escaped.." Chara's eyes widened. The Queen is so angry she slaps him.
"On the Bandersnatch..." She slaps him again.
"With the Vorpal Sword....with everyone.." She slaps him yet again. He grits his teeth.
"HOW COULD YOU IMEBCILE LET THAT HAPPEN?!" Stayne rubs his cheek.
"I may have underestimated her..." The Queen looks grim then smiles micheviously. The vengeful smile widens and she looks at her right hand with crazy eyes.
"You’re right, Stayne. It is far better to be feared than loved. Prepare the Jabberwocky for battle. We’re going to visit the dear King and Queen..."
"I had hoped to have a champion by now..." Queen Toriel says to her friends as Frisk steps in alongside Ches.
"I am sorry to hear i am not worthy of that title, your majesties." Frisk says as she looks at everyone in the room. They all look at her hopefull.
"FRISK!! YOUR MUCHNESS!!" Papyrus says as he clasps his hands together. Alphys comes over and hugs her.
"T-thank you so much.."
"Don't worry about it, Alph...anything for my old friends..." They all froze, except for Sans who chuckled.
"YOU REMEMBER US, BRAT?!" Frisk smiled again.
"In hell i don't remember you. You almost killed me...thrice!!" Undyne came over and grabbed her, giving her a noggie.
"HELL YEAH!!" The two laughed and everyone bombarded her with questions. She explained what happened as well as she could.
"Those bastard...HOW DARE THEY THROW YOU INTO THE LOONY-BIN!! NGAHHHH!!"
"U-Undyne please calm down..." Alphys said.
"My dear Frisk..this means you will have to train." Frisk was now serious and nodded.
"The most powerful out of all of us..is Ches..." Frisk looked at Sans and he shrugged.
"sure, why not?" Undyne screamed.
"I WANT TO SPARE WITH HER FIRST!! NAGHHHHH!!" And so it started. For a few days she has been training hard. Frisk would go out and fight with each and everyone of her friends. Asriel and Gaster seemed to be the strongest. Undyne had a really cool power, turning your soul green. Soul, something she didn't know was a thing. A monster soul and a human soul are different. Alphys had a power that could turn it yellow which was the same as Mettatons. That bastard even made her dance!! Papyrus turned it blue and had some special blue and orange attacks. Now she was taking a break on one of the stone benches. Both the King and Queen showed their fire attacks.
"you do know what tomorrow is..right..?" Frisk sighed.
"The Frabjous day. How could I forget..?" Frisk said as she looked down at the ground. Sans frowned and sat next to her.
"why is a raven like a writing desk..? my bro always asks that right..?"
"I give up. Why is a raven like a writing desk?" He shrugged giving her a cheeky grin.
"neither of us know, to be honest." Frisk snorted. Sans put a hand around her waist and made her look at him.
"listen, sweetheart...if you can't do it...just don't show up ok..? we will leave without you and we will fight the jabberwocky." Frisk nodded.
"Come on, Red...you're next right?" His sockets widened as his tail started wagging.
"i am, aren't i? ok ok..let's go, buttercup." The two got up and walked to where they were supposed to fight. Everyone came to watch this.
"you ready, frisk..? i will go all in.." Frisk inhaled and exhaled. Sans made her soul blue. Her eyes norrowed and the bones started coming. She tensed and started jumping. Sans smirked. He started summoning giant animal like skulls. They gathered energy and started firing. She froze as she saw it. The beam got closer and closer and in the last second she moved with unhuman speed out of the way. She rolled on the ground right between two bones and sat up. Sans sockets widened.
"got job! let's go.." The bones were coming more. Some were sharp, others just there to trip her. The 'gaster blasters' as Ches called them however, were the most dangerous ones. To win this she needed to get close enough and touch him...which meant she had to start gaining ground. She's only moved backwards and diagonally. Suddenly, catching everyone off-guard she leaped forward. Sans sockets widened as his red eye started flaring and bones and blasters were coming from everywhere. A bone flew in her and she got thrown backwards. Damn it...She sat up and spat the blood in her mouth. Sans winced a bit. None of the monsters so far were able to hit her that segnificantly.
"SHOW HIM WHO'S IN CHARGE FRISK!!" Yelled one angry fish monster. Frisk took in the words. Who's in charge...charge....*CHARGE* She tensed up again and charged forward. Her eyes shined. Her soul flared with baby blue and the blue magic on it broke. Everyone's eyes widened as she jumped really high up avoiding barely a few blasters and she landed on Sans rolling with him on the ground. When they stopped rolling, Frisk was on top of him, imobilizing him. He groaned and his sockets went blank as he realized she just took him down. Everyone was silent as both of them panted a bit until Undyne yelled.
"HOLY SHIT!! THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!" Sans sat up with Frisk still panting on his lap. The other monsters all cheered. However, Sans was more concerned about the girl in front of him.
"sweetheart are you--" But he didn't get to finish that sentance she fell forward uncouncious. Sans winced internally.
"maybe i went a bit too far...I'll take her to her room" Sans says as he picks her up, bride-like, and teleports away. Toriel was fumming at that.
"OH MY~~ DRAMAAA~~ PASSION~~ ROMANCEEEE~~" Mettaton joked. The Queen gave him a stern look and he shut up.
A few hours laters she was finally opening her eyes.
"frisk! damn it, flower! you keep faintin' on me like that i will have a heart attack.." Frisk giggled.
"sorry..it was really hot outside and all the exercise got to me.." She said as she stretched her head. She and Sans were in the room where she's been sleeping.
"you did..great. no not great...INCREDIBLE! how did ya even break free from my damn magic?!" Frisk shrugged.
"If you don't know..? i have no clue what could have possibly happened." Sans chuckled.
"so...do you think you can do it..?" Frisk stayed silent. Ches sighed.
"Just...get some proper rest ok..? we'll see if you show up or not. don't worry...i won't let anyone blame you..i promise.."
"ok...good night Red.."
"good night, sweetheart.."
"DAMN IT!! THAT BRAT ISN'T COMING, IS SHE?!" Undyne yelled. The Queen sighed as she saw that there was no hope.
"We shall fight with everything we've got...It's perefctly fine she can't do this." Sans was dissapointed. He seriously thought she can get over her fear. They all stepped outside as Sans took one last look at the armor and sword meant for her. He sighed and kept going. They all saddled their horses and got on. From there he could see Frisk looking at them from her window. She immediately left as she saw she was spotted.
"WHY ISN'T SHE COMING, DAMN IT!!" Undyne yelled again. Toriel shushed her.
"Undyne, you cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be hers because when she steps out to face that creature, she will step out alone." Undyne growled but calmed down. Alphys put a reassuring hand on her back. Mk was watching from the blacony as well. He saw as they all left on their horses and ran to Frisk's room.
"Frisk!!" She frowned.
"Who are you??" He asked. Her eyes widened.
"w-what..?"
"I can’t help you if you don’t even know who you are, stupid girl!" Frisk frowned.
"I'm Frisk. I live in London. I have a mother named Helen and a best friend named Margaret. My father was Charles Smith. He had a
vision that stretched half-way around the world and nothing ever stopped him. He would have liked it here..." Frisk's eyes widened.
"I'm his daughter. Frisk Smith!" Mk smiled.
"Frisk! At Last! You were just as dimwitted the first time you were here! Papyrus and Sans said that... You called it Wonderland...Papayrus told me that!" Frisk's eyes narrowed then she smirked.
"Did they take the champion's armor and sword..?" She looked out the window to see the Bandersnatch was still in the garden.
"No... Why?" Frisk frowned as she left the room in a rush. Determination flooding in her veins.
"It's time to give this kingdom their rightful champion!"
The Red Queen rides a black steed, Ilosovic Stayne at her side. Behind them, the Red Queen’s Army marches steadily coming forward towards the giant chess board. The JubJub flies ahead. A monstrous winged shadow soars above. Everyone has gathered just outside the chess boards borders. The White Queen and her allies meet the Red Queen and her army at the same clearing in the wood.
"Hello, Chara." Toriel says calmly.
"Toriel...Asgore..Asriel.." Chara says with a growl. Asriel blows a trumpet.
"On this the Frabjous Day, the Queens, Red and White shall send forth their champions to do battle on their behalf." Toriel's eyes soften. Not only they had no champion...it was the human they raised. Almost like their own daughter.
"Oh, Chara dear.." The Red Queen’s eyes soften to hear her care-takers words.
"We don’t have to fight." Toriel says. Chara's eyes narrow, suspiciously.
"I know what you’re doing. You think you can blink those pretty little eyes and I’ll melt.."
"Just give me my Crown."
"IT'S MY CROWN!! JABBERWOCKY!" Behind her, a dark form rises.
"L-Look up! I-It’s here! L-Look up!" Alphys says through stutters. Jabberwocky’s vast wingspan darkens the clearing. It swings its reptilian head, whips its pronged tail, extends one deadly claw. It was enormous. It's skin was dark like a void and it's eyes were a glowing dnagerous red. It's claws were sharp as swords and teeth like a jig-saw. They coul break anything with those. It poot Undyne's sharp teeth to shame.
"Where’s your champion, Toriel..? Oh wait..she chickened out..didn't she..?"
"I still have my army!!"
"HAH!! LET ME FIX THAt! JABBERWOCKY!!" The dragon raised high and came down with fast speed. They all froze as they couldn't dodge the attack. They bearly started the battle..? how could this happen?! Sans looked at his brother, father and friends. he closed his sockets and everyone shut their eyes as well, until they heard a cry of pain from the dragon. They look only to see The Bandersnatch lopes up, scratching the beasta eye as a White Knight astride him. The Kinght takes off their helmet to let the short auburn hair be blown by the wind as they hold the Vorpal sword high.
"The Champion is right here. And i am pretty sure..that wasn't your turn." Sans soul leaped in his rib cage as he saw her.
"FRISK!!" She smiled and then turned to them.
"This is impossible but...“Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast” Sans smirked and looked at his friends and family. They were all taking their stance. Frisk steps boldly into the clearing getting off the Bandersnatch. She looks up at the huge terrifying creature. The Jabberwocky roars. She starts whispering to herself, her voice trembling with fear.
"Six impossible things. Count them, Frisk. One! There’s a potion that can make you shrink. Two! And a cake that can make you grow!" She draws ou the vorpal sword. The Jabberwocky lowers its head as he starts hissing and gurgling at her. It growls as it shows his gigantic teeth who could probably break her bones in an intsant. She gulps.
"So my old foe, we meet on the battlefield once again." Frisk scoffs.
"And they say i'm crazy..he's talking to a sword!!" The dragon growls again. Maybe...that was a bad idea. She's a bit shcoked however. She didn't think it could talk! He strikes out suddenly with his spiked tongue. Alice lifts the sword to defend herself and it slices off the Jabberwocky’s tongue. It falls to the ground wriggling in the dirt. The giant reptile can only make a burbling sound now. In it's rahe, it starts screaming. Hooo boy..what has she done..
"That’s enough chatter, thank you." Frisk says, trying to sound confident. She only angers the beast more, which strikes her, whipping its pronged tail, knocking her to the ground. She lays for a moment, catching her breath.
"Three. Animals can talk..well...humanoid animals...pretty much the fact they exist-- WOAH!!" The Jabberwocky drives its spike tail down to stab her. She barely rolls out of its way in time. The others, on the side, are watching helplessly.
"Four. Four, Frisky! Come on--!!" She pulls herself to her feet.
"watch your head, buttercup!" She ducks in time to avoid the creature’s snapping jaws.
"Cats can disappear..." She continues her babbling. She looks at Red.
"I can manage, thank you." He nods. Chara sees them talking as she's dodging.
"THE CAT IS INTERFERING!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!" Stayne runs toward him, sword drawn and Sans stops him from swinging with his bone.
"not so fast, my friend." His smirks widens and slowly the duel between the two transforms in a full on battle. Undyne and Alphys are helping each other as they are taking down the JubJub bird; Toriel, Asgore and Asriel have separated; Asriel is sticking with Hatter while the couple is fighting together; and the white knights who look almost like chess pieces are fighting the cards while the Bandersnatch is taking some of the knights out by body slamming in them being helped by Mettaton who is a pretty good fighter. Alice and the Jabberwocky are in the eye of the storm.
"Five. There is a place called Wonderland." Frisk muttered as she was sparing with the dragons tail. The tail hit her and she flew in an old tower to the side. A plan came to her mind! All her friends were cornered now. She didn't get a chance to get to the tower as she looked back and saw Sans about to get decapitaed.
"NO!!" She slammed herself into Stayne and they both rolled at the edge of the tower. The Jabberwocky coming behind them.
"YOU BITCH!!" Frisk started running up the stairs and looked down at the Red Queen. A few of the stairs fell as the dragon was circling the tower and Stayne was on her tail.
"FRISK!! WAIT!!' Sans said but a few knights jumped him. Frisk was at the top as she looked over the battle field. Stayne got up and the Jabberwocky was still circling the tower.
"END OF THE LINE FRISK!! You can't save them...the Red Queen is UNDER MY CONTROL!!" Frisk frowned.
"how dare you...HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO CHARA!! I WILL MAKE SURE BOTH YOU AND THE DRAGON ARE DEAD!! ROT IN HELL YOU BASTARD!! CHARA IS A LOVING PERSON AND YOU POISNED HER!! It was you..wasn't it..?"
"SO WHAT IF IT WAS..? What will you do..?" She looked at Chara who seemed to hear what they were saying.
"I will even sacrifice myself...so that all of them can go to the Surface...But before that...i have one question..."
"How did you do it..?"
