Chapter 40: The RUINS

The brunet touched his cheeks and huffed.

"Yep.  I've been reduced to the size of a kid again...."

He looked at his arms and rolled his sleeves back; he checked his Okami sword.

It popped out as a knife.

Cry sighed before letting it disappear in a flash of red.

Cry glanced around with worry.

"Guys?  Anyone?"

*You called out.

*But no one came.

Cry sweatdropped at the black box floating above him.

'....What the f***?  Is this thing narrating what I'm going through?'

The brunet tapped the box.  It suddenly blinked out.

Cry shrugged and looked about the area; there was a pathway leading out of the cave--

The brunet then heard aloud scream of pain.

Cry quickly ran towards the sound, dashing through a large gate.

He came upon a dimly lit clearing of grass; he saw a little brunette girl there, wearing a dark blue sweater with pink stripes on it.  She was clutching her wrist, which looked a bit red and hurt.

There was a creepy smiling flower in front of the injured girl; Cry frowned.

'Ah sh**, it's Flowey.  I knew it, I'm in Undertale.' "Hey!  Ya' big, dumb flower!"

The said flower glared at Cry before giving a warped smile to him.

"Big words for a scrawny kid!   D I E !"

Flowey sent a simple barrage of bullets.

What the flower didn't expect, though, was for Cry to dodge.

'Huh, looks like this kid's got a few moves.' "Beginners' luck, brat!"

Cry grinned and blinked in surprise when he saw a sea-blue heart appear on his chest.

'....Cool!'

The brunet then turned his right hand into a mass of wind; Flowey widened his eyes with shock, dropping his warped grin.

'This brat can use magic!?  B-But....he's a human!'

Cry whacked the flower away from the brunette; Flowey made a soft, surprised shriek.

Cry then crouched beside the small brunette girl.

"Hey!  Are you alright?"

The small girl lifted her head to show......closed eyes(?).

'....Can she see me?  Are her eyes open?  Uuuuuuhhh......'

She moved her hand and wrote in the soft dirt underneath her.

*I'm fine.  Thank you for saving me.*

The brunette smiled tentatively before wincing; her wrist was starting to purple.

Cry blinked and frowned thoughtfully.

The brunet focused on his wind magic and thought of.....well...happy thoughts.

The wind turned into a lighter shade of green.

Cry touched her wrist....and the bruise disappeared, instantly.

'Oh....well...that's new and awesome!'

The brunette looked at her hand with amazement before smiling up at Cry while still keeping her eyes closed; she wrote in the dirt once more.
