The Angel of Darkness, And the Demon of Light

Chapter 15: Thoust Fools!

Once the group exited the cell, they started making their way to elevator. On their way, Susie noticed Vixen wasn't as scratched up as she was earlier. "Hey Vixen, did you heal yourself? Because last I saw you, you were all beat up." Susie asked. "I didn't, but Ralsei did. He, uh, heh, gave me a bit of a lecture..." Vixen admitted.

'How did you get so scratched up anyway?' Kris signed, which Chara translated. "Oh, well... I kinda... Got in the way of a bunch of attacks to keep you all safe." Vixen casually stated. "Seriously? Dude, you being so nice is gonna end u-" "Gonna end up in getting myself killed? Yeah, I know. Not the first time I heard that." Vixen cut her off. "Yeah, Sans would always tell her that. But for some reason, she always does stuff like that." Chara added.

"Well Vixen... I'm glad to know you care about your friends so much, but please, be careful!" Ralsei said, looking over at Vixen. "I'll try." Vixen replied. When they got into the elevator, Ralsei hit the button that would take them to the first floor.

"Alright, this lift should take us out of here." Ralsei stated, looking at the others. "Now, it might take awhile, so..." He paused, taking a seat on the ground. "Get comfy, everyone!" He finished. The group all took their own spots. Kris sat on the ground next to Ralsei, Susie leaned against the left wall, and the sister sat against the back wall.

After a bit of silence, Susie had decided to say something. "...Hey. Ralsei. Y'know Lancer's dad... The king?" She asked, making everyone look over at her in curiosity. "Yes...?" Ralsei replied, urging Susie to go on. "When we meet meet him... You think we'll have to..." She hesitated, glancing away. "...Hurt him?" She finally asked. The sisters and Kris looked at one another, somewhat surprised that Susie, of all people, seemed hesitant about fighting someone.

"Susie...?" Ralsei said questionably. "I mean, I could EASILY smash him, but... You guys, I know that's not really your thing." Susie quickly stated, before adding, "You're more about, uh, grovelling like total losers." Another moment of silence passed by.

"And I was thinking... Maybe... I could... do that too?" Susie hesitantly asked, nearly causing Chara to fall into Vixen from surprise. Ralsei's eyes lit up as he heard Susie ask that. "Susie!? You want to try acting?" Ralsei asked, hopeful. "Uh, well..." Susie trailed off. "Susie... We'd be happy if you acted with us! And don't worry, we'll be there to help you! You won't have to figure it out by yourself." Ralsei stated happily. Susie was quiet for another moment before saying,

"...Sure, alright."

Another moment of silence before Susie asked another question. "Hey. Ralsei." "Susie?" "Are you... Still gonna make those, uh, cakes...?" She awkwardly asked. "Well, will you stop making fun of me?" Ralsei asked in return. Susie glanced at the others, waiting for them to say something. They all just watched on as she finally said, "Well, if I HAVE to, I guess." Ralsei's eyes lit up again. "Then I'll bake you as many as you like, alright?" He replied.

"Yeah, like you can make that many, dude." Susie stated, smirking slightly. "Heh, like you can EAT that many, Susie." Chara remarked, crossing her arms. "Is that a challenge, kid?" Susie asked, eyeing her. "Damn right it is! You and me. Who can eat the most cakes!" Chara challenged confidently, as she stood upright. Susie stepped closer. "You're on!" Susie accepted, smirking even more.

"Uh, are you sure about this, sis...?" Vixen questioned. "Yeah!" Chara replied. "Well alright then... Susie's funeral..." Vixen stated, whispering the last part. Given that the cakes were gonna be chocolate like Chara requested, Vixen had total confidence that her younger sibling would in fact win. Kris heard her whisper, and snickered slightly.

Everyone stopped talking momentarily as they realized that the elevator had stopped. "Well, this is our stop!" Ralsei stated, as he and the sisters stepped out. Before Kris could step of too, however, Susie stopped him. "Hey, Kris. Wait a sec." She spoke up, causing Kris to look at her. Susie took a step closer. "Y'know, I'm starting to realize. It'll be easier for us to get out of here... If we all, uh, "get along" a little more." She stated. "So, next time we fight an enemy..." She paused, looking away.
