(Era of War I) Humans And Monsters.

A long time ago, two species lived in peace, Humans and Monsters. These two tribes evolved together as time passed and relations kept on getting closer and closer... until one day.

ASG: They declare what?!
GRD: Yes, your highness! We've just got this letter from them!
ASG: There's no mistake. Alert the troops!

The guard rushes out to alert the others, as a young monster stumbles into the room where the king is in a state of distress. He steps slowly and nudges Asgore.

ASR: Dad..? What's wrong..?
ASG: It's nothing, son.
ASR: Why are you so worried?
ASG: There's nothing to be worried about. Go play with your toys, daddy's busy.
ASR: Oh okay... bye dad.

Asriel turns around with a discouraged look on his face. Meanwhile, across the kingdom, the humans are almost ready to launch their attack.

KNG: We attack at noon!
ALL: Yes sir!

The king backs down from his pedestal and heads inside the base. His strategist approaches him and places his hand on their shoulder.

STG: Sir, I have a proposal that will guarantee our victory.
KNG: I'm all ears.

The strategist proceeds to show the king their new weapon towards an almost guaranteed triumph over their enemy.

|| TWO HOURS LATER ||

The armies are in place. The clock is five minutes from striking noon. Both of the kings stare each other down from across the battlefield.

GST: Your highness, we might lack in numbers compared to the humans, but we more then make up in sheer magical power. After all, we've spent millenia learning how to turn our souls' essence of HOPE into a weapon.
ASG: Gaster, don't underestimate a humans' capabilities. They share a closer connection to the soul then us monsters can ever dream of attaining. A simple humans' connection is stronger than one of monsterkinds' strong warriors. There exist only a few exceptions in our kind, and that's why we must use whatever resources we have to win this battle!

Gaster looks down in embarrassment. The clock strikes noon and without hesitation, each and every troop dashes into battle with all their might. Weapons and ideals clash, and soon, enemies are brought together by fate. In the midst of battle, destiny strikes and seven warriors lock eyes on each side. Amongst them, the two tasked with helping the wounded ultimately end up against one and the other.

ELZ: I've heard good things about you, Miss Dreemurr.
TRL: The same can be said about you, Elize Gift.
ELZ: It's a shame it has come to this. Y'know, I wanted to help people beside you one day.
TRL: It would've been pleasant, but that time's long gone.
ELZ: Yeah, you're right, but don't be mistaken. In terms of healing prowess, I have no equal!

Both warriors dash towards each other. Elize draws her blade and swings at Toriel, who casts a barrage of fire balls. She slices through the flame and gets close. Elize aims for a fatal blow but Toriel manages to blow away her weapon using a concentrated fire blast. Elize doesn't flinch and delivers a devastating punch to Toriels' ribs, shattering a couple of them. Toriel coughs up blood but doesn't faulter, instead healing the damage and continuing to battle. She dashes towards Elize, who throws a hook, which is pushed to the side. Elizes' eyes widen. Toriel presses her palm against Elizes' chest, focusing her fire onto her hand.

TRL: Farewell, fellow angel.
*BLAST*

The concentrated beam of fire penetrates Elizes' chest and disintegrates her heart. Her body drops to the ground, and without a heart...

TRL: Sadly healing won't bring the dead back.
ELZ: Soul Power... Angels' rejuvenating touch.

Toriel turns around, shocked. She sees Elize pressing her palms onto the ground, emitting a massive aura of pleasantness. Toriel realizes what she's doing.

ELZ: Toriel, a healers' duty is to always be there for their troops, even in death, and with this, I'll continue to watch over them as a guardian angel.
TRL: What amazing power...

The human forces suddenly receive a boost in their stamina and body, but Elize passes away.
