OCTale: Pacifist [Editing]

23) Test of Determination

In the darkness, I see the six human souls appear.

"Guys? Can you hear me?" I shout over.

"...Lukas!" They run over and all hug me.

Lukas? But...

"Heh..." I chuckle, as they surround me with green items.

A bandage, a thumbs-up, a music note, a kind word, a fried egg, and a four-leaf clover.

*Flowey's defence dropped to 0!

"HUH? WHAT?" Flowey screams, as he appears again in all his monstrosity.

All seven of our souls appear on the battlefield.

"Lets' go!" Justin orders, as Katrina wields her frying pan and Tip gives a fierce twirl and grins.

"Let's do this." I say, gripping my knife firmly.

Tip swings around and roundhouse kicks Flowey in the gut with her ballet shoes. He sputters out a curse laced with blood.

Whilst Flowey's distracted, Timothy runs forward and punches him at full force, knocking the victim back a little.

I then run up and uppercut Photoshop Flowey with my knife, landing a bunch of damage on him.

The other souls fire ranged attacks at him, until all that's left of his HP is 1 point.

Us souls gather around each other again, cheering our victory.

Loading File 3...

Suddenly, we're blinded by a flash of light and my new friends disintegrate into the darkness. Photoshop Flowey appears again, fully healed, with a mocking grin.

"You IDIOT." He cackles.

"Lukas" 0/20 HP

Over and over, Flowey loads save files to instantly kill me again...

"Lukas" 0/20 HP

And again..

"Lukas" 0/20 HP

And again.

No...

I AM DETERMINED.

"Lukas" 1/20 HP

For hopefully the last time, friendliness pellets circle me, getting closer and closer.

I brace for the hit, but nothing touches me. I open my eyes again to see the bullets are gone, Flowey glaring at something above him.

The souls!

"What...how'd you...? Nevermind, I'll just..." Flowey summons up a LOAD button, and presses it, trying to load a new file.

Nothing happens.

Flowey looks even more frustrated.
