Undertale Fallen Determination: Book 2

Chapter 21: Run into the Marshes

I wasted no time, and dashed forward, pulling Frisk along with me, as Undyne launched out her volley of spears. We managed to get ahead of where she was aiming, but she immediately summoned another volley.

Looking ahead, while the bridge was one continuous path, it was clear to me now that many planks have fallen off over the years, and it had become a winding path, including many hard turns. But was still a bridge, so...

Using my magic, I leapt over a large gap on the bridge's side, Frisk trailing behind me, and Toby barking crazily.

The spears continued to rain down on us, as I weaved through them, barely slipping through the onslaught, as Undyne chased after us from behind the stone pillars.

Another leap and...

"GAH!" I cried, as a spear manage to cut through my shoulder. My hand got split from Frisk's, but we both landed back on the bridge further down, Toby was still in my arms...

And the Blue Soul magic was still active.

"Keep going!" I shouted, as I got up, followed by the kid. With both of us still under my gravity spell, we now had to jump separately. Frisk, not fully trusting her jumps, I guess, made smaller jumps from one side of the bridge to the other, rather than making the big gap leaps I was.

I was in full run mode. Nothing else occurred in my mind, just escape. A few more spears knicked me, but my focus was on running, as I heard the knight chasing us start to growl in annoyance and frustration.

Until... just as we were about to get away from the stone pillars... I turned to make sure Frisk was still following...

Just to see her, in the air...

Get hit by a spear.

She was luckily launched to the side, back onto the bridge, but she was down. And as I heard the skidding of metal on dirt, and a large number of magic spears formed above her... I knew she couldn't recover in time.

Memories flashed in my mind, of watching Frisk get attacked by Undyne, in the last timeline. And my anger flared. Not again. I wouldn't let this happen again!

I spun back around, and without a second thought, I summoned a Blaster above Frisk as I ran towards her. It charged its power up, and then fired a blast of fire, spinning in a circle to destroy all of the spears. Meanwhile, I formed a fireball in my hand, condensing more and more flames...

Until I reached Frisk, and threw it at where Undyne was.

It burst into an incredible blast of fire, lighting up the area behind the pillars, with flames spewing out from between them.

I didn't think much about that, as I grabbed Frisk's hand, helped her up, and started pulling her away, Frisk not fighting it as she was eager to get away too.

As we ran across the last stretch of bridge, I heard a loud splash behind us. After the bridge, there was another large patch of grass, which we slid into, hiding underneath, as I turned to look back.

And at that moment, something jumped out of the water, and onto the bridge. I could see Undyne's armored body, steaming from my fire attack, but now cooled off from the water. And, with her yellow eye turning towards where we were hiding, Undyne began to approach.

I was now in my fight or flight instinct, trying to decide on which was the best choice, when Undyne reached us, swiped her hand down to grab at us...

...And lifted up a smiling Monster Kid with one hand, said hand covering one of his eyes.

...Since when did you get here!? I thought.

Undyne simply put Monster Kid down, stood there for a moment, still, as if contemplating what just happened, and then she turned around and left.
