Chapter 16 - A Surprise

 Everyone had been separated in different ways from each other after the explosion all tentatively looking around as they saw eyes around glowing indicating they had not been alone, besides well the big hint of the explosion that had just happened before them ya know. From the perspective of the Queen and King they walked around within the fog unfortunately unable to find their children within. They were both on their guard and luckily that they were as it would not take too long for attackers themselves to make their very presence openly known now. And suddenly out of nowhere several people came out of the fog behind them, yet both of them were aware due to their extrasensory abilities turning around in an instant both sending a blow knocking down several people that stood there. The King and Queen both backed up. "Toriel are you alright?" "Y-yes, I'm fine.. Just why does this have to happen. It was supposed to be a nice day." Axis would sigh as he was rather disappointed as well by the interruption of the day that was supposed to be so nice. "I am certain we will get to the bottom of this, and ensure a more permanent peace, love first let's deal with this." It is not as if they had stopped. The ones that were down got back up and more followed after they spread out in a circle around the King and Queen to not all be bunched together. Although Toriel would suddenly summon a dome of flames around the both of them rendering a defensive barrier made and causing all those outside to stop. Within the barrier Axis was building up his reserves of energy from his soul to deal with this as quickly as possible no need to waste time on guys like this is there? It only took him a few moments and he came out of the fiery domain with the king suddenly going from person to person with immense speed only leaving a trail behind before appearing next to Toriel once more. The trail he left behind would explode along with the guys taking them out for now. "Phew, I hope the kids are alright." Suddenly from the fog someone spoke. "You won't have to be worrying about your kids for now, your majesty." The two would both turn and it seemed like someone else was with those guys, but the presence they gave off was on an entirely new level perhaps like some sort of boss. "My boss wants all of you out of his way. So sorry but I bid you adieu" And from the man nothing came from them but a pure sense of malignant aura and untapped violence. A rather sinister character indeed just who could he be working for, well the monarchs both had an idea. And so the two would encroach upon the lone man with Toriel making a staff of flames appear smacking the man and leaving a scorching burn right on their chest followed right after Axis aiming to quickly incapacitate this person as they could help them get to the root of this using a glove of bravery with a strike to the head of the person. They were knocked to the ground quite easily by these two. It seemed they were just some talk, but something was up.The marks of the attack would swiftly have disappeared for some reason. The malignant man stood back up once more with a grin. Well the two would be sort of eased by this. It would mean they didn't have to hold back. And suddenly within the next instance the man was on the ground beaten and bruised beyond belief. When the two stopped holding back their strength was unmatched especially as a team how incredible.. Yeah that's literally it. Anyways there was more trouble for the others that they would need to quickly take care of, for instance the skeleton brothers who found themselves surrounded in a similar situation just as the king and queen were. Sans was ready at a moment's notice to fight back and even Papyrus too, due to the fact that someone he admired the queen and all of his friends were in danger. One of the guys made the first move throwing a high powered concentrated explosive like the ones before towards Sans and Papyrus, but it was quickly stopped by the telekinesis of Sans and tossed right into the air. The explosive would go off without harming anyone but a trail of smoke dwindled and the two brothers would utilize this towards their advantage both having grand soul detection abilities. From within here Sans would have used his advanced blue abilities that he obtained in the previous training and slowed down the molecules of these people causing them to become frozen like an ice cube. Papyrus on the other hand would have utilized his bones to create cages around several of the other guys, but not only that the cages would suddenly light ablaze making it so they couldn't attempt to escape, this was done through the use of advanced orange magic and accelerating the molecules around the bones to the point where they lit on fire and a bit of pure magic in the mix to assist in this.The smoke would have cleared out finally although sadly there was still some trouble that remained. Some magical bullets had rained down onto them, but Sans would stop the incoming bullets with his blue magic, whilst Papyrus would opt to assist and whacked away all the bullets slightly grazing each of the shooters seemingly intentionally. Although a sudden surprise attack would have come from behind someone was about to strike Papyrus! Sans saw this and acted quickly causing time in the area to stop momentarily as he quickly bashed the man aside with a bit of a rougher force than usual and took a puff of air as time resumed. "Be more careful Papyrus." "Ah sorry brother.. I shall! Let us deal with these humans and make sure everyone is okay." Sans would nod as he made a bone cage around the guy that he just knocked down. Papyrus advanced forwards towards the shooters and spun around a bone in front of him deflecting the bullets everywhere. Sans quickly followed behind his brother and would deal with the rest of the people spawning blasters behind them whilst they were distracted and making them fire low powered blasts at their back, but it was enough because he concentrated his abilities and caused them to be knocked out, especially easy due to the usage of his karmic abilities. Papyrus then cages them up as they would try to find the king and queen first. Elsewhere the first one attacked Alphys was singed by the explosion that had happened to her, but she was still alive, and she had to stay that way is what she thought in her mind. Alphys would have struggled down silently moving down a corridor attached to where she was slightly shivering, this was scary for her, Alphys would softly whisper to herself. "I wish Undyne were here now." Alphys would have slouched herself silently behind a podium that was displaying some sort of technology. Now she sat there taking a breather, but she seemed to hear encroaching footsteps as she would slightly peek out of her cover. Alphys would then think in her head. ("Crap, they must be making sure they got me..") Alphys would have seemed worried for a bit, but her face turned to have more courage as her mind started racing as she began to think. Alphys was armed with weapons since she was more cautious after the event before, but she didn't think to bring her better stuff to such an event and what she had on her was damaged within the explosion yet this wouldn't stop her grand mind. Alphys took out a damaged strange looking gun type weapon. Alphys began to mess around with the wires on the weapon, when she was finished she would quickly peek over to the people that were very close to her and threw the weapon which clanked against the ground and grew a bright blue. Alphys would slink behind the podium, she had made sure to use the right amount of input, but just in case. Suddenly then an explosion ensued from the gun there were no screams, nothing. Alphys peeked out again and would see that everyone had seemingly been knocked out with a grand shock with some of the place destroyed. She let out a sigh of relief now. Alphys would have begun to run through. "With that kind of shock to their body and souls, they shouldn't be getting up soon. Alphys would have thought for a moment, but suddenly a bullet of some sort would have come right towards Alphys! Miraculously the bullet had only grazed her on the side of her face. Alphys would have suddenly turned around in an instant reaction slipping and tripping on the ground which made her avoid a second shot. Alphys would see one of the guys had actually managed to sustain themselves from the shock that she had caused. For a moment Alphys would have furrowed her face as if she was in full focus and suddenly a bolt of lightning would strike the person that had shot at her, where did that come from? Alphys quickly got up and ran. ('Was that me? Oh boy, that training with Undyne paid off!") Although shortly after running and turning a corner she had bumped into something that was extremely hard and felt like metal. Alphys rubbed her head and quickly looked up. "AH- oh hi Undyne! I'm so glad you're here." It wasn't metal at all, it was just Undyne's incredibly strong muscles. Undyne would seem a bit happy seeing Alphys,but her smile furrowed as she focused on the scar on her face. Undyne would have peered around the corner seeing everyone knocked down and would have seemed relieved. "Good job Al now let's get outta here they attacked everyone." Alphys's expression would not only be fearful, but she was angry. No way could this go on. They had to get to the bottom of this and figure out who they were and why they were after them all and what exactly was their goal. Finally there are two more people that we have to worry about right? That's right, there was Shiro and Sora. They had been closed off themselves and unfortunately Shiro was not in her peak condition due to herself having been beaten by Sora sometime ago, but she was healed up and it had been some time since then. "So Shiro, stay back a bit, this is gonna be rough." Shiro would have her face squiggle as she did not want to stay back as he insisted, but she also did not want to go against him and so she stayed back for now. Sora would stand in front of Shiro, truth be told he did just want to look cool in front of her for a moment, and after recently going through an awakening he was ecstatic to see it more. Sora would have his hands ignite with a purplish black aura. Sora would have eloquently maneuvered around without making even a sound, attributing to skills he had from his enigmatic past and swiftly had struck one of the foes before him with a heavy bunch due to a curse of heaviness weighing on his fist. Sora felt something and within an instant his head turned and a purple glow stared at the person giving them a sense of fear for a moment making them hesitate for a moment and Sora utilized this smashing into the face of the man. For a moment Sora's face would seem like just nothing at all before shifting to a more attentive one. This time two came from his sides and attempted a team tackle, but Sora quickly jumped upwards making it so they both just slammed each other to the ground with himself landing onto both of them with a crushing blow. At this time while Sora was attacking people suddenly people had come around Shiro and tried to assault her even with some snipers in the area. Shiro had a knee jerk reaction and ignited everything around herself in blue flame with this blasting away the people that were around her and keeping up a flame blocking herself from them. At the same time though there were some of the bullets that scraped her, but had melted almost entirely from her flames before they reached her causing minimal damage. The flames around her would be manipulated by her and then formed into various flaming arrows that all shot outwards towards those that had continued and tried to attack her as she would seem glad a bit. It seemed they had finally taken care of the rest of them, they had all been unconscious. By this time all the smoke had been cleared out and it seemed everything was alright with minimal damage caused, nothing close to the scale of the previous event. It would be seen that Chara and Frisk were alright too, but Frisk looked a lot worse than anyone else due to her stance against fighting at all, really with Chara having to save her neck. Chara gave a bit of a side gaze when they were together towards Frisk. "You are such an idiot partner!" Frisk would have laughed, but then she would have started to look around frantically with a worried expression on her face, well minimal expression as she still never opened her eyes. "Where's Asriel!" Everyone would have begun to look around now as they were all very worried looking around for Asriel. Eventually their eyes would lock on Asriel who was walking back towards the Arena from elsewhere with his chaos sabers out, but upon seeing them he would have placed them away now. He quickly ran over towards the rest of the people and dived in putting everyone in a big hug as well they all just hugged back some awkwardly like Alphys. At least they were all okay after all that with Asriel then speaking. Some of the guys that came out here tried to take me away as you can see that didn't work on me no worries. Yet I'm still worried about what they want." There was a consecutive nod as that was on all of their minds right now. Toriel would have taken out something that resembled a phone and walked away from the group momentarily. Toriel then turned back when she was done. "Alright, there will be people to clean this up soon and to get what they can out of these guys. I must stay here and make sure nothing happens." Axis would wander right next to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She was not going to let her stay alone. Shiro would shake her head left and right. "Mama, I'm not gonna leave you with these bad people we are staying with you!" Everyone looked for a moment when she said we, but at the same time they could all agree they wanted to stay there for her. Not only that, they wanted to know about these guys' goals as soon as possible.
