The cliff is disintegrated. The water of the sea is cleared. In the midst of that crater stands Robin.
RHT: What kind of power is this?!
You charge your blade and drop down. Standing face to face with Robin, your heart starts pounding.
RBN: Consider this your last fight.
RHT: Tsk, that's what they all said.
RBN: In the state I am now, my audacity doesn't let me spout out lies. I have become one with my soul.
RHT: That appearance. It's reminiscent of the ones' we saw in those school books...
"During the battle with the embodiment of hate, Noire, our knights were overwhelmed, but something changed. It's believed that through pain and grief, a soul, if determined, could reach a state we call "Flow". In this state, the body completely neglects all forms of pain and only exists for one sole purpose, to achieve victory. Our Knights achieved this state and altered the course of that battle. After the battle however, they couldn't replicate that form again."
RHT: So this is a knights' true power. Fascinating.
RBN: Prepare to die.
Robin dashes towards you in a blink of an eye. You manage to react in time to block the first strike but the second sends you flying into the side of the cliff. You regain your ground and look up to see Robin throwing a huge boulder. You slice through it but Robin appears behind it and strikes you in the gut. You are being overwhelmed. Punches and kicks, left and right force you to your knees. Robin slowly walks towards you. She grabs your head and pulls you off the ground. She utters her final words.
RBN: You've fought enough. It's time to rest.
She thrusts her arm through your chest, creating a gaping hole and causing you to cough out blood. She's grabbed your soul, which is slowly cracking.
RHT: (I can't let it end like this.)
*CRACK*
RHT: (Is this really the end?)
*CRACK*
RHT: (No... I refuse!)
*PULSE*
RBN: Don't even think about it.
*CRUSH*
Your soul is crushed. Robin throws your lifeless body to the ground. She starts walking away... this is the end. You've refused death many times, but without a soul, you can't do anything. You're dead now. Without the infinity realm, your soul drifts away into nothingness forever... but for some reason.
RHT: Huh..? Who are you..?
Oh, me? I'm just some guy who's unfortunate enough to spend his time here, watching the events of the world unfold.
RHT: So like... a spectator?
You could say that. But this isn't about me. I'm just a spectator so I don't add anything to the story. This conversation between us is just noise in the grand scheme of things. What is important is that button right there. Yes, the shiny one.
RHT: Why... what does it do? And what's written on it?
That button is yours and yours only. Some other people have their own buttons. I think their names are Frisk and Chara... I can't quite remember. As for what's written on it and what it does... it's really simple. Just look at it.
