On The Surface | An OCTale Sequel

29) Special Attacks

10th February

It's been a few days now since we went out to the capital, and nobody really seems to care about the new information.

I mean...all that stuff happened, like, 100 years ago. The Spadixes paid for what they did in the end, so nobody cares about them any more. We don't need a king or queen anymore, after all.

Anyway, today I'm goimg out again with Impact and Castellar for more magic training. They both have no clue what an Omega is, but they've still said they're going to train me.

After eating breakfast, I head out, deciding to bring Flowey along, too.
"HEY! Why do I have to go to your stupid training?" He yells, as I giggle.

"C'mon, it'll be fun! Anyway, I'll need a sparring partner, won't I?" I reply, Flowey sighing in defeat as we reach the woods. Using what I've decided to dub my "soul vision", I see Impact and Castellar in the distance, in the clearing we were in before.

Running towards them, I summon a magic blob to hand, and fire it towards them. They both dodge it easily.

"Hey, you look determined today. Ready for more training?" Impact chuckles, as I nod.

"Yeah! I wanna learn a special attack!" I smile, Castellar suddenly freaking out.

"OH MY GOD! I WANNA SHOW THEM! PLEASE IMPACT? THEY NEVER GOT TO SEE MY SPECIAL ATTACK BACK THEN!" She screams, Impact chuckling.

"Fine, fine. It's probably better if you demonstrate anyway. My special attack is only for...extreme circumstances." He replies, as I wince. I guess That-One-Time counted as that, huh?

"Hah...yeah. It's pretty brutal. Castellar, what IS your special attack, anyway?" I laugh half-heartedly, not wanting to be reminded of that time again.

"OH! WELL, YOU-" She starts, before finally noticing us wincing. She takes a deep breath, and starts again.
"My special attack is really amazing! Now, I don't know about Impact's, but mine's really unique! Wanna see?" She smiles, as I nod, Flowey still frowning in my arms.

The world turns black and white, and I get into a defense position.

"Now Tyler, you already know the basics of combat, so I'll spare you the explanation. But there's something you should know! Back when you were hanging with Crimson in her house, ypu attacked her with full force, but only hurt her a little, right? That's because of your intent! Human, monster, whatever, you cannot harm them if you don't intend to, and vice versa!" Castellar explains, as I nod in understanding. That must have been true for my fight against Asgore, too.

"So, I will be using my special attack on you, no holding back! But you will only be harmed a little, because you're my friend! Here we GO!" She cheers, her right eye glowing a cheery blue. Flowey groans, and summons a ring of petals to weaken the attack.

Castellar summons a bone to her hand, and jams it into the ground. I hear a faint rumble, unsure of what to do.

"Tyler, look up!" Flowey warns, as I het into my defense position again. Bones of white and blue are raining from the sky. I move to the side to dodge them, but get hit on the head by a fast accelerating one. I summon a shield to hand, and deflect the rest away from me.
