A Race Against Corruption(OC Reader×AU Sans)

Chapter 5: What Now?

Flower faints to the ground, her appearance going back to Skiá's. Why is she not back to herself? The last words Hunter heard her say in a very quiet voice close to begging to help her, purple tears streaming down her face. The wind tonight was howling. The air was fouled with the smell of blood, smoke, and death in the dead of night. The fire now down to just a glow. Cross goes over to Flower's unconscious body, gently picking her up. Tears start to prick in his eyesockets. What did Flower ever do to deserve this fate? One thing Hunter knows is that HUMAN is responsible. He goes past Cross, catching him by surprise. The human was close to death, but not before Hunter had anything to say about it. He lifts him up harshly, making the leader wince in pain. Hunter's eyesocket showing his green target.

"What the hell did you to her?" he says harshly, bringing him closer to his face. All the human did was gurgle. Probably from all the blood loss and whatever blood is in his throat. He wasn't going to get answers from him this way. He takes the human and throws him over his shoulder, making the leader screech in pain.

"We're going to have Toriel heal him. We'll lock him up in a cell afterwards so we can get answers from him. He probably knows how to reverse whatever he did to make Skia awake from inside. As for Flower, Skia is out for bloodshed, so we will also put her in a separate room to watch her." Hunter finishes explaining to the rest of the Death Team. Dust takes out a cellphone to call everyone else. He tells them that they found Flower but did not tell them of her drastic appearance and mind change to that of a completely different person. The leader softly chuckles, making Hunter stop to look over his shoulder to see the leader's head.

"What's so funny human?" He asks with irritation in his voice.
"We're....All....Doomed..." was all he said before completely loosing conscious. He's still breathing but barely. The damage Skia did to him was bad but they can get him to Toriel before completely dying.

"Let's hurry before he completely dies." Cross stands next to Hunter with Flower still in his arms. Chara stands next to him with a worried expression for Flower. He knows what it's like of possession but never at the other end of it. Flare floats above Dust, trying to still calm him down from earlier. He still has his hands clenched from anger, HATRED towards the being possessing his friend. He just sighes to himself, moving forward with everyone else who are seeing how important Flower is to them as a friend. They all head towards back to the mansion, where Flower was living before she ran away.

One hour later:

They all arrive to the mansion, the smell of blood and flesh rotting more apparent from the human laying over Hunter's shoulder. He's still breathing though so that's the good sign. They open the door, grabbing the attention of everyone sitting in the main room. Blue, Sun and Moon are the first to rush over, seeing Flower not herself but a completely different person and she was covered in blood. They can feel her aura as well as everyone else. This was not Flower. Where is she and why did they bring this mysterious girl?

"That's not Flower. Where is she? You guys said you found her. She has blood covered all over her. And why is that human on your shoulder?" Blue said, trying to hide his anger, his magic sparking in his bones. Sun and Moon whimper for Flower, knowing it is her and circling her body. They are confused why her appearance drastically changed. She even had the same markings as her, which was strange to them but also makes them wonder if this is another monster human hybrid. Hunter sighes, setting the unconscious leader down but tied him up with his magic to be on the safe side. G goes over to Cross, who was holding the unconscious girl, putting his hand on her chest where her SOUL is. He closes his eyes, focusing on her SOUL. Only he could hear what her SOUL was yelling. It was crying for help. He knows that this is indeed Flower.

"Son, this is Flower but the one that we're seeing is not." was all he said making everyone in the room gasp in surprise except for the Death Team.

"You all need to sit down but first. Toriel can you heal this man's wounds? He's close to death and we need him alive. He may hold important information. He's the leader of- well was the leader of the group that took Flower." Hunter said, setting the man on the couch, Toriel coming over and start healing.

"W-what do you mean was the leader? You couldn't get anyone else?" Dream asked, putting his hands together, worried for his friend.

"There was no one else because everyone else was killed. This man barely made it out alive himself. If we didn't show, he would've been as well. And this girl was responsible for the slaughter. I'm sure you all feel her aura and quite possibly her EXP." Hunter finishes, Cross now setting Flower's body onto the opposite couch. Mixed emotions spread across the room.

Worried, scared, anger, sadness, confusion are just a few of them.

"What do we do now?" Ink asks worriedly, feeling the power coming off the girl. It was strong enough... To destroy the timeline and quite possibly an entire Universe. How that is possible, he doesn't know. All he knows is that he and everyone else must always have eyes on her.

"First, we're going to get you all caught up with the situation. And it's bad, really bad." Dust says, having everyone's attention as he explains what happened.
