Washington D.C | Palutena's Apartment


Ignoring the odd situation, both Toriel and Midna followed Palutena, the twili was the onr who spoke first "As I was saying, I have dealt with corrupted energy fields while on my last adventure" she said and showed her palm, a relic appeared from the nothingness, it had a black base color with red aura surrounding it "It took me some time to test it, but this thing can be of use against many types of magic fields" she explained.

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Washington D.C | Palutena's Apartment

Frisk had a somewhat disappointed at how things turned out. She was just trying to play at what she thought was supposed to be a small little party of sorts. But everyoneone seemed to leave the moment she arrived. She watched her mother and the Twili leave before turnning to Sans, held tilted as she askedd. "Why is everyone leaving? Did i do something wrong?"

"SHOTGUN!" Papyrus called out in the middle of Julius's sentence. It seemed they both had idea as Papyrus hopped in the front seat on the passenger side. Once they were both in the car and getting ready to leave, Papyrus finally got serious as he asked. "So... What exactly are we up against?"

Sans just let out a slightly nervous chuckle as he ruffled the kid's hair a little.

"nah kid. it's not your fault. everyone likes you kid." Sans spoke with a light wink as he then gestured back for the door.

"somethin' big is goin on. that's all. we should leave the grown ups to their business. i can take you out for a... hot dog or somethin. that sound good to you kid?" He said as he gave a quick glance to Palutena and the others. It was clear that he was just wanting to try and keep Frisk out of potentially important business, even though Frisk had handled herself well in the underground in their world. Little did the others know, Sans had seen a quick glance of what is essentially nearly every potential outcome of what would happen if Frisk did or did not help in a matter of what felt like a minute. He didn't get a good look at everything he 'saw', but he just has a bad feeling about things right now.

As Papyrus hopped in and buckled himself in, Julius did the same as he hopped into the driver's seat. Taking out his keys he started the car without buckling his seatbelt. When he started to back out of the parking lot, he heard Papyrus ask in a rather serious tone as to what they are up against.

"Have you heard of the Grim Reaper...?"

Frisk had somehow magically taken a stick and a band-aid out of her phone, placing the band-aid on her cheek to prepare to help everyone. But from what Sans was saying, it sounded like they really didnt' need her help anyway. She turned back around and looked at him with a slightly confused expression. "Hm... But.. Don't they need our help too?"

The skeleton put his hand on his cheek bones and thought for a moment, squinting his eye sockets as he did so. "tall, dark, has a big scythe and can kill people just by touching them?" he asked. He defiantly knew what the grim reaper was, but there were so many different interpretations of him across thousands of games. He wasn't sure which version the man was talking about.

From Nitori's fading memories from the first time she met X, he looked like he knew enough about machines to at least tell apart different parts of his body. IF that was the case, then he should be able to at least tell flow regulators and plasma turbines, right?

"Okay, come here." Nitori flicked her wrist, inviting X closer to her while she knelt in front of a broken engine the size of three to four refrigerators. The engine's side was open, revealing a small tunnel leading into the core which would be dangerous if the engine was on. "I need you to stand by the console while I go inside and repair the influx core of this thermos engine. I'll instruct you on what buttons to press and what levers to pull and all that when I'm inside. Okay?"

Barcelona | Spain


"Ah, hey, wait!" Kongou shouted to get either Ciel's or the mysterious attacker's attention when the latter rather forcefully commanded her to stay out of "guy stuff", but seems like they were too focused on trying to find an opening to divert their attention to Kongou. If only she had access to her main guns; she could blow away this punk in seconds... and the entire alleyway at the same time too. Huh.

Cologne | Germany - Chocolate Museum -> Chara's House

It was a daily ritual by now for Chara; everyday she would visit the Chocolate Museum. It was a marvelous place to her for she saw it as a place enshrining chocolate. She loved chocolate, such a sweet and unjudging thing. While absentmindedly admiring an exhibit, she was nibbling on a bar of dark chocolate. She enjoyed dark chocolate since she couldn't stand the sweetness of any other kind.

For the past three years she lived as peacefully as she could. Chara still had bitter feelings in general towards other humans but she was managing. In the time she was in the real world, she learned about her alternative self and, although she pretends that she doesn’t care, she is afraid of the possibility of what she could become. She knows she is a character, albeit a supposedly normal human, but she fears there could be some sort of subtext to her existence. What if because I’m a character, I could become that demon? The question nagged at the back of her mind. She feared the unknown, the uncertain possibility that she was not just human. But there were more pressing matters to be worried about: the fact she was almost out of chocolate. To see Chara without chocolate is to see hell itself. She turned for the exit and went out to where she parked her moped. I should probably go to the store and get more. I don’t think I have much left home.

That too was something that would linger in her mind: what was truly home? Although she found a place to live in Germany, she was uncertain how to feel about her situation. Financially, she had enough money from what gold she had on her to be able to live off of the interest made from it. She could choose to go anywhere but she decided to just stay where she had wounded up. She wasn’t certain why, yet she didn’t care enough to question it further. She was there. She had something she could call home, but something was missing.
She dismissed the thoughts when she strapped on her helmet and got onto her moped. Ugh, focus Chara. Need to just get chocolate. With that thought she drove off to the store.

A while later she returned to her home with a bag of chocolates and various other groceries. Her home was a small one on the edge of a larger neighborhood. On the outside it looked modest, with various garden beds surrounding it. On the inside however, it looked like a mess. Various things were scattered throughout. Discarded chocolate wrappers that didn't quite make the trash, various magazines including some on gardening, and socks. She dropped the bags off in the kitchen and noticed the mirror she had in the hallway. Her brilliant red eyes seemed to glow slightly in the light. She smiled, which to most would appear almost creepy.
*It's still me, Chara.

Walking up to the engine and Nitori he looked down and examined the large device more closely. His instructions were simple but important, just push the buttons and pull the levers when instructed to. Not too bad. As such he simply nodded and agreed.

"Okay Nitori. Will do." He said as he got into position.


Barcelona | Spain

With a battle unfolding right before her eyes, Kongou was seemingly left unable to help as Ciel opened fire on Add.

Unfortunately Add just flicked his wrist as 3 of his panel-like 'dynamos' float in front of him as they project an electromagnetic barrier of el energy that seemed to not just block Ciel's demonic energy shots from his rifles, but also deflecting them right back at Ciel. Seeing this Ciel quickly rolled to the side to avoid his own blasts before firing another shot the second he saw Add lower his little barrier. However Add also saw this and his Nasod Armor kicked in, allowing him to quickly sidestep to avoid Ciel's last shot. Though when Add looked forward he found himself face-to-face with Ciel who was preparing a heavy slash with his gunblade-rifles. Which barely graced Add, as indicated by a few of the hairs on his head getting cut off due to Ciel's overhead slash.

Upon seeing a few of the precious hairs from his head getting cut off, Add scowled as he quickly attempted a punch to Ciel's gut. Ciel managed to avoid that punch, and countered with a kick. Which Add dodged and countered with his own strike.

The two then got into a very heated, and quick exchange of dodges and strikes which the two were blocking and dodging until- WHAM!

Add's most recent punch nailed Ciel right in the gut, upon his fist impacting and bedding itself deep into Ciel's torso, a purple shockwave was released as Add grinned psychotically before delivering another punch, and another. Add was now delivering a serious barrage of punches to Ciel. With each punch releasing a small purple shockwave before Add delivered one final spin-kick right into Ciel's gut as well. Ciel who was left to Add's mercy for the time-being was sent flying back down the alleyway, before Add seemingly disappeared in a quick flash of purple light. In an instant Add appeared above Ciel who was recovering from the painful series of blows to his gut, only to be struck by an overhead slam to the ground which made Ciel hit the ground. Causing quite a bit of blood to splatter across the ground. The blood was Ciel's, but thanks to being Half-Demon. He was still alive and recovering. It was clear that right now two things were happening.

Either Add was really powerful, or Ciel for some reason... wasn't fighting at his fullest. Which seemed to be the case. I mean... the bodyguard of a Princess, hell. A QUEEN. Shouldn't be this weak... right?


Washington D.C | Palutena's Apartment

Sans sighed as he really didn't know how to properly handle the situation. Instead he just shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

"i dunno kid. maybe they do and maybe they don't. if you really do wanna help then i can't really stop ya kid. just be careful ya know? it'll shake me right down to the bone if somethin' bad happened to ya kid." Sans spoke as he turned to head out the door and to their apartment.

"if ya need me Frisk, i'll be in my room." He said as he then left the apartment for his bedroom. Once outside the apartment he used one of his 'shortcuts' to enter his room where he then locked the door.


Meanwhile Palutena and Pit had already gone through the glowing door of light which had remained open for the others. Upon entering they'd find themselves in a stone grey shrine like room with roman-esque statues lining the walls, with roman style pillars around the place as well. On the opposite end of the building seemed to be a large opening that shows what looks to be clouds and the sky with... ancient looking buildings built upon the fluffy clouds in the distance. In the center of this large room was an empty shrine which Pit was looking into, while Palutena was holding her hand over it, using magic to try and get a glimpse into what's going on.



Washington D.C | Julius's Car - En Route to City Outskirts

Julius nodded as he then spoke up.
"Yes, but Death from my world. The Castlevania world if you are familiar with it. The Death I know is up to something, and whatever it is. Will not be good for anyone. Humans and... characters alike. That's why I need to stop him before he finishes whatever damn thing he's doing." Julius spoke as he sped up. Surprisingly the... streets were empty. Probably because not just Christmas day, but also the attack of Death's (and in turn, Dracula's) army from earlier.

En route to Prometheus Labs - London


"Knowing lady luck, things could go from a simple conversation and data revision to a full blown firefight" Vala spoke with not so much of a care about the outcome "I also can do the job of testing the official spartans of this world, and see if they are actually humans instead of machines of war with humanoid forms" her tone was more serious this time

"The IIs and some of the IIIs were the colder ones, it is not surprising with how they were kidnapped and forced to become living weapons of mass destruction, and curious thing" Melissa´s digital voice was heard through the speakers "The one who did all of this became the scientist of the century, then a monster after the war was manageable and finally someone to look for. Sometimes the real monsters are the ones who bend the line between right and wrong to their will, isn´t it soldier Michael?" she asked to the spartan

"Where would your loyalties be? with the one who orders you to fire your weapon or to the people?"

Washington D.C | Palutena's Apartment


Following the green haired woman, both Midna and Toriel were surprised to be on the sky, the former of the two made a comment "So a goddess and ruler of a sky civilization, I just don´t want to see a flying baby, it would be too odd" she shivered while Toriel giggled. They walked to Palutena´s location and the goat monster spoke "If what you say about your scouts being overwhelmed by the magical aura is true, then it would be good to keep them at the outer ring of the field, that way they can alert the surroundings of oncoming danger the moment something happens" she offered

Frisk couldn't help but frown when she was left all alone. She had just woken up so there wasn't anyone else left to talk too. The only thing she could think to do now was to follow her mother and that cute Twili girl. Frisk took out her phone to call Undyne and ask her for advice. Putting the phone to her ear she spoke.

"Hello? Hi Undyne.... How are you and Alphys doing?....I'm fine, There's somethng big going on here, the grown ups didn't tell me what it was but it's really bad, what should i do"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTy9v9a7Tmo

The fish girl's voice could be heared blaring loudly from the other side. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!?!?! GET OUT THERE AND BEAT WHOEVERS CAUSING YOU TROUBLE UNTIL THEY CRY UNCLE! DO YOU WANT ME TO COMME ALL THE WAY OUT THER AND DO IT FOR YOU?!?! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"... N-no it's ok I'll take care of it......Thank you Undyne, Merry Christmas." Frisk nerviously hang up her phone and putit back in her poket. Taking a deep breath she picked up her trusty stick and ran after Toriel and the others.

Papyrus recognized the name of the game specified to him. "Oh yeah you're that guy on the NES who jumps and... hits things with a whip... I never beat that one, couldn't figure out what to do. What's death in your world capable of?"

Washington D.C | Palutena's Palace in the Sky


As Palutena finished her little spell, the 'reflecting pool' that Pit and her were looking into began rippling before calming down. When the water in the reflecting pool calmed, they could see the sight. Death and an army of undead and other monsters. The grim reaper appeared to be hovering above the army as one-by-one all the monsters under Death's control began to collapse. Seemingly dead as he drained energy from them. As Palutena watched, she looked up at Midna and the others before speaking.


"No need. My men aren't foolish enough to stay there. After the first two soldiers collapsed, the rest had made their retreat. Thankfully with this pool we can watch first hand what is happening." Palutena spoke as the amount of monsters in the field where Death is was beginning to drop lower and lower... until there were only a dozen left.




Washington D.C | Julius's Car - En Route to City Outskirts

Julius nodded as he made another turn, even though he didn't know exactly where Death was. He could at least figure it out by using his Vampire Killer whip as a compass, as it seems to react more the closer they get to Death's location. As he drove he answered Papyrus.

"Well, mostly correct. I'm not that guy in particular. The person who was in that game was my ancestor. I'm currently the last in the Belmont bloodline. Anyways Death... he's capable of everything you'd expect. He has full control over the dead and undead. As well as strong magical prowess. I'd suggest you wait in the car. I'm not taking the car in too close to the location. It might be too dangerous. The alchemical and magical power of my whip should protect me from corruption, but I am unsure of how a... skeleton such as yourself will fare. Death's power might make you sick, or worse. Might corrupt you. Though I do have a cross charm in the trunk. If you wish to follow you could take that. It's been blessed by a priest in my world. It should protect you as well, but please be warned." Julius said as the car came to a stop at the front gate to a park which was opened. Quickly Julius got out of the car and proceeded to walk to the trunk which he popped open.

Going through the trunk one would notice... a lot of weapons and stuff that looks like they were designed to kill vampires and other monsters. Ranging from holy water, to cross necklaces, to wooden stakes, and various other tools. Taking out a large cross shaped boomerang-like weapon, he holstered it onto his back. He then took a small belt that had four glass jars of what appeared to be water, but was actually Holy Water could be seen hanging from it. Julius then proceeded to strap the belt around his waist before taking out a cross necklace for Papyrus.

After Papyrus would have gotten out, Julius would toss the necklace to Papyrus, in hopes that it won't harm him or anything. Papyrus's soul did not seem to be evil so it shouldn't effect him at all.




Washington D.C | Open Field

Meanwhile in the open field just on the outskirts of the city, which will take a thirty minute hike through the park to reach, the final monster in Death's little army finally drops dead as Death had finally gathered enough energy.

With enough energy gathered Death liften both hands into the air as his Scythe began hovering above him. It was then that the scythe began to glow brightly as Death began the final part of the ritual... a long chant...


Julius and Papyrus will have to make a long 30 minute to an hour hike through the woods in the park to reach Death.
