Determined Love (Charisk)

Chapter 9: Undyne Strikes

       Undyne was quickly rushing the two, and Chara was staring her down with her red eyes, Undyne could feel them piercing her SOUL, but she wasn't concerned, all she was worried about is destroying these two threats to her freedom, no, the underground's freedom. If Papyrus couldn't finish the job, than she would. 
      As Undyne got closer and closer, she could feel the excitement swell inside her. She was ready for a heated battle against the humans.        
     She got closer and closer, and as she was almost upon them, ready to pierce the small girl in the green shirt in front of her, she saw a small monster come out of nowhere.
      "I'll help you Undyne!" A small monster child bust out of tall grass between Undyne and the two girls.
     Undyne stopped dead in her tracks before she could stab the kid. Aggravated, she grabbed him by the ear and dragged him off, so he couldn't watch her FIGHT the humans or get hurt.
     Chara stared dumbfounded. "Did he really just jump in front of her?" She asked.
     Frisk sighed in relief, no matter how many times she would experience that, it always scared her. She didn't notice how hard she was gripping Chara's shirt, trying to hide from Undyne's charge.
     Chara turned around and looked at Frisk. "That was intense." She said. "But I wasn't scared, I was ready to protect you Frisk." She said proudly. Really, she wasn't scared, she'd seen worse, but she was intimidated.
     Frisk hugged Chara and laughed, "Oh, my hero!" She rested her head in the crook of Chara's neck. "I.. I was really scared you know." She said quietly.
     "Yeah," she giggled. "I could feel you grabbing me. It kinda hurt."
     "Oh! I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to!" She said raising her head to look at Chara.
     "It's fine Frisk. It made me feel special, knowing that you needed me." She said, brushing some hair out of Frisk's eyes. They were so beautiful when she opened them fully. A light sea foam green that glistened in the cavern. It makes her heart skip a beat every time she sees them.
     Frisk teared up slightly. "I will always need you, and don't ever think I won't!" She said.
     Chara wiped the small tears from Frisk's eyes, and leaned in, planting a kiss on her lips. Frisk gladly accepted it, and kissed back, tearing up a little again. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of Chara's tender lips on her own, making her melt a little.
     Chara pulled back, "Let's get moving." Taking Frisk's hand.
     "Aww. Already finished?" Frisk said, disappointed her kiss ended so soon.
     "Yeah, I know, but Undyne could come back any moment, so we should get moving." Chara hurried forward. Frisk was about to object, and say she was actually not going to, but decided let Chara lead the way.
     Chara saw a new path that see hadn't seen before, much like the dimly lit stones that led to Temmie Village, but these lead straight north. They passed a few echo flowers, but Chara was too concerned on getting far from Undyne to notice what they were saying.
     She wasn't scared of facing Undyne, but she didn't want to take the chance of hurting Undyne if she attacked Frisk. She would end up killing her and Frisk would hate her for that. Chara couldn't bear the thought of Frisk hating her, so she knew, at all cost, she had to avoid getting into a FIGHT with Undyne.
     Frisk hurried to catch up with Chara. Even though she was holding her hand, she had to basically drag Frisk with how fast she was walking. She hadn't said anything else after the kiss, and just kept walking, it worried Frisk slightly.
     The two reached a bridge, and Chara rushed to cross it, not wanting to look down. Ever since her fall into Mount Ebbot, she wasn't too keen on heights, or falling.
     Monster Kid walked up to them, "Yo!" he yelled.
     Frisk stopped, causing Chara to stop and turn around. "Frisk!" She said.
     "Yo, I'm no good at this kind of thing, but Undyne said you two were humans, and that I should like, hate you and stuff.." He looked down. "So.. uh, I guess that makes us enemies.. and I uh.. hate you, and stuff." He blushed nervously.
     Frisk smiled. "Don't worry, Chara and I are super nice, we aren't enemies, and we'll show Undyne too. We can be friends!"
     The kid looked up, beaming. "Wow, really? Yo! That's cool!" He ran off, but tripped and fell off the bridge, he was barely hanging on by his teeth. "Yo! I.. need help!" He said through his teeth.
     "Oh no!" Frisk yelled, and ran over to help him. Chara ran over too, and they both picked him up.
     "Yo... thanks.." He still looked scared. "Yo, I think I'm gonna just head home." He ran past Undyne without saying anything.
     Undyne had been standing there the whole time, waiting for the humans to attack the poor kid or do at least something  evil... but they helped him instead and said they could be friends. These humans didn't make any sense to her. She backed away into the shadows and disappeared from sight.
     "Come on Frisk, Undyne was right there. She knows we are here, we need to keep moving." Chara said grabbing her hand again and rushing forward.
     Frisk didn't know why Chara was in such a rush all of the sudden. She knew that Chara could handle herself in a FIGHT, she couldn't imagine it was because she was scared, so what was it?
     They didn't run for long when they saw Undyne on top on giant rock formation.
     "Seven." She started. "Seven human SOULS, and King Asgore will become a God." She looked down at the two, pausing.
     "Six." She continued. "That's how many we've collected thus far. Understand?" She stared them down. "We may only need one, but I can't have both of you running around the underground. So I'm just going to take both your SOULS, got it?"
     Chara put her arm in front of Frisk, bracing herself for a FIGHT.
     "But. As customary for those who make it this far, I shall tell you the tragic tale of our people. It all started long ago..." She paused. "You know what?" Her voice got louder. "SCREW IT! WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU THAT STORY, WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE!?!" She screamed. Her blood was boiling and her spine was tingling, she was ready for a FIGHT.
     She screamed again and threw her helmet off, revealing her blue scaly skin. "You two! You're standing in the way of everyone's hopes and dreams! Alphys' history books made me think humans were cool, BUT YOU TWO! You're just cowards! Hiding behind that kid so you could run away again. You know what would be more valuable to everyone? IF YOU WERE DEAD!!!"
