Hybridtale: The Glitch

Chapter 26: Collapsed

Bête Noire was soon in Judgement Hall in the Underground. Despite knowing the mountain is on the brink of collapse and a ticking time bomb. 

Andy went to the location where Frisk died, where he hoped Bête Noire was there, where she was.

"You're here to avenge her, huh?" Bête Noire asked.

"You know for a darn fact I am," Andy answered. 

"I'm afraid you're too late. Killing Frisk was the first step. You four have been instrumental into stopping my plan in making, with Frisk gone, I don't think I see three of you stopping me," Bête explained.

"Only because they weren't compatible in defeating you. Yes, Develyn was close, but I'm gonna get far more closer than usual," Andy explained.

"Prove it, then!" Bête shouted.

"Stupefy!" Andy shouted.

Bête blocked the spell, and also returned. Andy also blocked simple spells, but none of the destructive spells Bête had. The two exchanged and blocked spells for quite a long time.

Back the Dreemurr home, Develyn emerged from the basement, where had been all day. He was getting a feeling Andy is gonna fail in fighting Bête Noire, and he was gonna die if Develyn didn't intervene. He soon went out with Toriel and Asgore knowing about it and he took a long trek to the mountain.

Along the way, Bête Noire did another small scale attack involving a ton of dementors. Develyn was ready for them. He used Dismay on most of the dementors, causing them to flee. He soon reached the mountain and went the way Frisk took before she died.

***

Andy wasn't experiencing the fight very well. He was being absolutely dominated. Even the legilimens spell didn't even work on her, leaving Bête Noire very skilled in the art of occlumency. Develyn came around at the right before Bête Noire was about to finish Andy off.

"IIZ! SLEN NUS!" Develyn shouted. The shout froze Bête Noire frozen solid. Develyn grabbed Andy and teleported out of Mount Ebott before the ice began to thaw out.

Bête Noire was in disbelief that the fight ended prematurely and Andy wasn't around to be finished off.

***

Andy was soon patched up by Toriel. Things were still dark with the Dreemurr family with Frisk's death and all. Develyn and Andy soon talked in the backyard about future plans.

"I don't understand... I thought I had it," Andy noted.

"You're missing a few curses, that's all I have to say. I'll teach you those tomorrow," Develyn noted.

"Hopefully, they'll work," Andy noted.

All of a sudden, a somewhat major earthquake struck the town. Colorado is not known to receive powerful earthquakes. Ripples were felt throughout Montrose and Ebott Counties, with Ebott receiving the worst of it, or so it seems. The town was built a several miles away from the legendary mountain, so it wasn't that powerful as recorded on the Richtor scale.

News soon broke out that Mount Ebott, a mountain once legendary, collapsed, forming a caldera.

First, the human ambassador to Monsters passing away, then the most famous mountain in Ebott collapses.

Everyone in the Dreemurr household was alright. Some things were put out of place and some glass/ceramic objects broke. The mess was cleaned up in time for dinner. The fundraiser Toriel organized still had more of it's goal, and Toriel announced that August 4 would be the date of Frisk's funeral. Toriel recently contacted the funeral home for a rather expensive coffin she can afford, and she had to make payments to it.

The bounty is still at large, so there is a chance that the bounty, worth five million dollars, would possibly work.

The next day came around, and Andy was eager to see what new spells are in store, and to possibly see if it could finish off Bête Noire for good.
