Chapter 5: No chance
The execution of the human rebels was supposed to be done quickly and easily. As they stepped up to the podium with their hands tied on their back, they end up with their head off. For those History nerds out there, yes, it's the guillotine. And they never thought they would be on there at all.
Frisk was the first to go up.
'Alright... I know how it's like to die... It's really bad.' She told the others.
'How bad?' Mark asked.
As the guards pushed her up, she looked at her friends before taking her punishment.
'(Breathing) Well, seems like we meet again, death.' She thought to herself.
As she lied down, and everything was going to plan, they pulled the heavy metal back to get it to the top.
'I can't watch...' Stacy cried.
Closing her eyes as the blade dropped, she felt defeat for the very first time in her life.
'I will never lose... I will not let them fight for eternity!' She thought with determination.
All of a sudden, A sudden bolt of lightning struck the machine, and it was powerful enough to send it flying!
'What in the world!?' Jessica was shocked.
A second later, someone was helping their arms free. Then, she revealed herself in the midst of chaos for the human side.
'Phew! Saved you guys last minute!' Bethany cried.
Frisk was pleased. 'Wow, seems like we aren't the only rebels after all... Are you Bethany?'
She nodded. 'I was worried that my friend was in trouble, then I checked where he was a very complicated tracking device, and he was standing right here! I had to teleport here and help you guys out.'
'Wait, your friend? You mean who?' Dan asked.
Joseph, at the corner of her eye, saw her and was very happy.
'You've gotten so powerful recently... I'm very proud of you...' He thought.
She finally saw him and gasped. 'Joseph! There you are!'
Bethany ran to him and hugged him. 'We haven't seen each other for so long! I missed you so much!'
'Glad to see you again, Beth. But, there's no time, we need to be ready for a fight right now!' He told her.
As they expected, some armies came to the scene and vowed to attack the rebels.
'Everyone... You know what to do.' Frisk drew her sword.
Everyone drew their sword as well, powered themselves up and started fighting. Technology has gone much further than the first war, people now have much more powerful laser guns. Yet, this was no challenge for Frisk. The others would be dead, but they're powered up form kept them alive.
After 10 minutes of the humans being completely wrecked, Ruby finally came.
'Aha! Finally found you!' She yelled.
Frisk was scared. 'Back off, daughter... You know you should not hurt me.'
'Does it look like I care? Of course, I don't! Even if it's you, people who try to oppose our side of the war will be executed! And this is where that comes into play!' Ruby drew her (you guessed it.) sparkling ruby sword, and the two sides began to fight.
Quickly, some of the rebels were out of breath and can't hold on. They quickly aborted.
'One left. This should be very easy.' Ruby said with a cold smile.
Frisk held on to her determination and her hopes.
'Ruby... No, Astell, you're my daughter. Stop this madness and stop this war hell. Bloodshed can be prevented. Just listen to me. Your parents know best. Your desire for power has gone too far. All of a sudden, you and Lunar just... fell apart, but why? We never knew why you guys broke up in the first place!' She cried.
The leader chuckled. 'Oh mother, you have no idea, do you? You know, I should be thanking you. You gave me the power to lead all of the humankind! I was nothing before, but now I am the leader of an army! Besides, if you guys had killed that brat in the first place, we would've won! So for this whole war, blame him!'
Frisk held on to her sword tightly. 'No... I am sorry, Astell. You give me no choice but to fight you!
A song was ringing in their heads as they fought.
'Listen here, mom...
It's almost time.
Let me tell you, it was easy making all your friends disappear,
You think you'll win?
No, stand back, this will hurt a skele-ton...'
'I'm a legend, don't tell me to...
Fight for power, that is not my destiny.
So let's go, just me and you...
I wonder if you regret this?'
'Go ahead and try to stop me if you're able,
Can't you see my greed for power is stable?
I know you're getting really tired out of fighting,
But it's too late to go back to the past...'
'This isn't what I want,
Yet it's what I asked for...
Passing my legacy to my daughter,
But you just took away that perfect chance,
Now we're here, it's too late to say sorry...'
'I am made, of~ Love... Oh...
Love~ Love~ Oh...'
'This is who I am...
This is where it ends...
I don't know why you think,
That there's a chance we could make up...'
'But someone deep inside me,
I'm screaming out your name...
Every time I claim the win,
I know that friendship will prevail.'
'Go ahead and try to stop me if you're able,
My determination is much stronger than you,
If I can only kill you now,
It will be over...
But my guilt will follow me forever...'
'I want to be the one to paint it red,
It's a beautiful day to be burning in hell...
He gave me advice, I chose genocide,
And I will help us win this war...'
'I'm not afraid, of~ Love~ Oh...
But I think I'm stronger than you!'
'Love~ Love... Oh~
I'll reclaim our lost hope!'
After a while, when Ruby was in the disadvantage, the backup army came, and Frisk was forced to retreat.
Meanwhile, on the pony side, Twilight and Nathan wanted to talk to Sapphire.
'Ah, it's you guys...' He said. 'Can't you see that I am ruling you guys at the moment?'
Twilight had an unpleasant look on her face. 'No, you cannot control us.'
'Oh, suit yourself then. I know what you guys want, you want me to follow in your steps and ask for mercy? The answer is no if that's what you want.' He said.
And their faces showed they were unsatisfied with his reply.
'What I can give you, though, I do have something.' He got a gun and aimed it at them. 'I'll give you the pain.'
Nathan has had enough. 'You're not Sapphire, inside, you are our child, Lunar Sparkle!'
'I doubt it... And besides, I am the leader and you guys are below me! You can't control me! You can't control what I do! Now, I would really appreciate if you guys will stop your persuading and go back. I am not fancy for a fight at the moment.' Sapphire moaned.
'No way, we are not going to stop persuading you, until you finally give in!' Twilight yelled.
He fired his gun to scare them. 'Silence!' He shouted. 'I don't want to cause trouble to you guys, but if you really want to cause trouble amongst us, and if you're willing to do this to me, it leaves me no choice.'
'Twilight, let's just go.' Nathan told her.
'I guess. We tried.'
