Delta Memory - Deltarune AU

Chapter 31 - The first Darkner

WD Gaster-"To not compromise anything, I must erase the recent memory of your friends, they would have never met me, they would think that you beat the Pawn and now at the fountain. You are all healed. They can't know the truth as they won't assist you like I want to help you finish the prophecy. Once I will press the button, you will be all 9 at the fountain, ready to be closed. Any requests?"

Player-"I would like to save some darkners, can Ouijo and Helli be with us? And I let Kris take the Pawn to Castle town? This is how we proceeded so far..."

WD Gaster-"Indeed, Indeed, I noticed your... Delta Guardians always saved some citizens, and took the councilors with you along majors Darkners but left behind the Leader to slow the Delta Warriors of Kris, Susie and Ralsei. Understood, I grant you that wish. Are you ready?"

Player-"Yes you can press your button, thanks for the explanations, everything."

Gaster press a switch on the console as a blinding light fill the world before we reappear in front of the Dark Fountain.

The whole group is here, along Ouijo and Helli.

Helli-"I'm sorry~ I shouldn't have chased you, I was wrong, the idea of the Pawn is insane. You Delta Guardians opened our eyes. The Angel plan seems perfect, by fusing the worlds, Darkners and Lightners will live in peace in the same world. I want to be part of that world! And that why I convinced Ouijo to come too, we promise to not cause mischief!"

Angel-"You promise you two? I know you are like demons darkners, no tricks hmm?"

Ouijo-"We promise. Yes, we will assist you in your Dark World if you allow us to."

Snowdrake and Lemonbread looked at us embarrassed and smiling.

Snowdrake-"It was a nice walk but as risen lightners, we are tied to this world by soul, once closed we will just disappear but this is what must be done, we will have eternal respite. Thank you, it is time to us to be freed. Close the fountain."

Kris start to appear at horizon and walk toward us to stop us but out of nowhere Ralsei arrive near us.

Player-"What? You? Ralsei? We didn't saw you since Techno World... why are you helping us?"

Ralsei-"Hurry up! Delta guardians! I can't keep them busy for too long, I may use my charm and use the fact I am based after their best friend but... hurry up! Evacuate! Save those Darkners, they are valuable! I arrived too late, everyone was slaughtered by Kris. You are the last ones! Hurry up! Once I am done I come to your world to speak with you all."

As the Angel was starting to take in her wings the two guide darkners, fluffy, anima and gerson and disappear diving in the Darkness of the fountain, I stay with Ralsei taking my sword.

Player-"You can't deal with Kris. Too strong, let me do it, we are surely equal in term of power."

Ralsei-"Close the fountain. With your soul, vessel!"

Player-"And you? You will disappear? Ok if you say I think, you are aware of something."

I start resonating with the fountain to close it.

Kris-"No!!! Ralsei! Stop them! Proceed!"

Ralsei-"Your little trick doesn't work with me demon. You aren't going to stop them."

Ralsei summon flames and fight trying to keep Kris Busy as I close the fountain, he cast a protective shield on me and healing spells on him.

My soul start resonating strongly as the Dark world start to disappear slowly, the Dark horizon becoming a twilight sky and some of yellow trees appearing, we were soon back in the cemetery of hometown. Kris break the stance with Ralsei and start attacking me as I block the attack with my sword. And keep an angry eye glare.

Player-"Rah you never stop! Leave me alone! We only have two dark worlds remaining. We are about to accomplish our version of the prophecy. You failed, you will never bring the roaring! Your whole plan failed. Sure, you killed some Darkners? And so what? We will bring all the ones we saved to the new world!"

Kris-"Grr! I will come personally to your special Angel Dark World to make you pay. I will find it, it is a matter of time before I get a new pawn."

Player-"Susie... no! She will bring back Noelle to reason! We surely.. get her back now."

Kris-"You underestimate Noelle and her love for Susie. This will be her downfall. Well, we will see... see you soon... Vessel..."

Kris stepped back as Ralsei came to knock-back them away, then after a blinding light we were now in the cemetery. I was scared that Ralsei turned into an object and looked rapidly around but noticed he was still near me, in same form, it made me confused. Kris was on ground knocked down at the other side of the cemetery.

Player-"You are still yourself? How? But you are still looking the same? You are a Darkner, you should turn into an object Ralsei!"

Ralsei-"I will explain but first we need to get away rapidly from Kris, bring me to your Heaven world, we can't go to the location of the next Dark World, I know where it is but we can't allow Kris finding it."

We ran out of the cemetery, about to enter the church but we notice sitting next the town hall Susie and Noelle peacefully on a bench.

Player-"Does Susie succeeded into making Noelle nice again? We sent Susie to Noelle before going in occult world, with the hope it will stop Kris control on Noelle."

Ralsei-"I am sorry to bring bad news, but Noelle got colder, she... her dad is dead and she... killed her mother... there is nothing left apart a cold soul. And used her love for Susie to convince her that only Kris know best for them and that Kris is their only true family left."

Player-"Ha! I know! We found her sister, Dess in the castle of the Pawn in Occult World, maybe, I can bring her back to reason? Dess is her sister!"

Ralsei-"It may work. But for now let's go join the Angel, hurry up."

I go inside the church with Ralsei. We are lucky as the moonlight beam to allow us to travel back to the Angel citadel is still active but not for too long as the sun start to rise. We run rapidly in as we start being blind by a divine light until waking up in tbe citadel near in the plaza fountain.
