Broken Crown (Afterdeath story)

Chapter 30

(Reaper POV) 

We looked at each other Horror and shock Written clearly on our face Then a maid Slammed the door open "SIR THERES A ATTACK! What's Your orders?!" panic Struck me "Uhh I" taking a deep breath I calmed my self "Send Guards to fight them off evacuate as much people as You can Evacuate the castle and  Where's captain undyne?" "S-She's Over On the front lines So are most of our men I don't know how thy got this far Inward" "Ill lead them My self Geno will help evacuate the castle gather Up a few guards and tell them to help evacuate" the maid nodded and ran I turned to Geno "stay hear Grab goth and I want you to go the nearest kingdom to get help!" "but-" "Hurry!' I said as I ran to the barracks to get ready for a fight.

It was chaos in there Guards Franticly getting on armour I entered a room pushing through the crowd to get My armour Putting On the black chest plate and Helmet I grabbed My scythe and shield running to a horse I jumped on swiftly and Sped off to the burning town.

(Genos POV)

Oh no Oh no Oh no OH no! I ran to where goth is staying they woke up tiredly "W-what's Going on" they said sleepily "there's no time we have to go!" I picked Him up and started running to the stables Goths eyes where Wide Now with fear I lifted him on and hoisted my self up as well Kicking me heels in the horses side We sped in to the woods Goth was Sat In front of me Clutching on to the horse for dear life as branches kept hitting me in the face this path was not meant for horses I ducked when I saw One that would knock me straight off what's the nearest Kingdom uhhh east it would be So we whent in the direction Please Reaper be safe.

My soul jumped when I saw the faint lights of the kingdom Racing up to it some people let out shocked cry's as we nearly ran over them My face was all scratched up with the countless branches hitting me My shirt was torn On my shoulder I probably looked like hell poor goth was shaking with fear utterly confused Jumping off the horse and I lifted goth with me grabbing his hand I dragged Him up to the gates guards Instantly reacted "Business?" Out of breath "I- Need-Too see King dream" "I'm sorry But hes in a meeting with King error at the moment "Its urgent!" I practically yelled he must of saw the franticness in my eyes as he led me in side down a hall and opened it causing the conversation between the Three kings to stop Rushing in "the north is under attack Please Can You send help!" I pleaded they looked shocked and speechless before dream asked "by who? where is  Reaper?" "I don't know Reaper sent me Our general Captain undyne is on the front lines along with most of our soldiers." dream nodded Cross please Arrange troops to be sent" "Thank You I must go back though Please just look after goth until I come back" dream nodded and saw the small child behind me Before he could ask any questions I sprinted back to My horse.

(reapers POV)

Its worse then I thought Fire Was Roaring from building as people Screamed for help and running around franticly getting off the horse I ran to a family who where panicking "Please evacuate its not-" I turned around to see a soldier running at me with a metal object in his hand swiftly I dodged what was coming at me barley and Cut him with my scythe The air was now filled with gun shots Echo's and Booms I glanced at the sky another storm was coming just was we needed I thought bitterly running to help more people I saw a few Guards ho ran Up to me "sir what's your orders?' "try and drive them out don't let them get to the city center tell as many people to evacuate" "yes sir!" and they when in to action.

I was growing tired with each Time I swung My scythe my chest hurt From the fumes I was breathing in and now rain was Coming down Making it hard to see, Its clear these soldiers are not giving up easily What's baffled me is how did they get hear? they would have had to gone through the other kingdom if they Got hear by land and surly Our guards By the harbor Would have seen them coming a mile away how did they do it? I thought Trying to avoid more bullets Being fired then I heard My name "Reaper!" it was Geno!?!" searching around I saw Him running towards Me "GENO! what are you doing hear?!" I said horrified "I got help" he said "You have to leave Its not safe" I can help!" I shook my head trying to push him away in the direction with less armed Enemy's "I'm not letting you get hurt!" "but!-" "well well well" I heard a voice laced with venom I froze Spinning around it was Dust a gun in hand "Wow fancy seeing You hear" he said sarcastically I pushed geno Behind me to protect him glaring at him "Oh I see Your eyes Healed and the stab wound" "heh takes a lot more then that to kill me" I said angrily He looked down at his gun "perhaps so Reaper, But I think I got something that will" he said now Grinning wickedly as he locked eyes with me "it was so nice of you to visit My kingdom Reaper" I tried to keep a level look but he must-have seen a bit of shock "mhm yep I know, Do you think I haven't got spy's to?" he Looked so smug  my eyes narrowed "So what?! Have You come to take Over my kingdom?" "yep that's the plan but I see that this is clearly unfair and since I'm a man of honor" I scoffed his grin only broadened "I want  a duel but Oh no not with swords or bows I want a duel with Guns" I felt genos Grip on my arm Tighten I ignored it  "Reaper I could call this whole Raid off. IF We duel and me and You both know what happens in a duel?" I nodded keeping my glare "If I die You stop the war for all kingdoms and if You die I take over your kingdom with out anyone else stopping me he hinted to geno . How about that?" I gripped my scythe and Looked around There was No chance Of us winning we where doomed yes help is coming but if I take this offer and win ,this could end everything and we would finally be at a much needed peace. "so? times ticking" he grinned "when?" he laughed in victory "tomorrow at dusk right In the center of all borders" nodding "how will I know its not a trap?' "you can bring as many men as you want but reaper you must keep your word. Do we have a deal?" I heard Geno Keep telling me No not to take it over and Over but I chose not to listen this is for the best so, "yes dust We will have a duel." Dust raised his hand and Heard a few shouting of his men as they retreated "I bid you good luck reaper.' he said as he turned away and Fled with his men.

Realizing what Ive just Done hit me  I looked at Geno Who I didn't  realize he was now hugging me and crying in to my chest Telling me how foolish iam.

I'm so Sorry Geno.
