Undertale: War of Souls

Chapter Two: A Meeting with the King

"Yo Asgore! Mr Asgore-!" The second he'd tried to slow to a stop so quickly, the boy ended up tripping once again and falling onto his face, only to try and pull himself back up like he always did. This time, however, he didn't have to get up on his own, for soon enough, Asgore had come over and picked the monster up himself.

         "Oh? Howdy there, little one. That was quite a fall." It was strange being in the presence of someone so much larger than him, but at least this wasn't extremely new; Asgore had once come to his school after all... Would he even have school after this? Who knows...

         "Mr A-Asgore- I need- I need to tell you something- I-" MK could barely get the words out, especially after running for so long. He was out of breath and downright terrified. The human was heading this way! Could Asgore handle them? Yes. Yes he could. He had to! He was sure of it! But... "T-The human- It's coming- It's here-!"

         The second MK mentioned the genocidal human, Asgore's expression transformed into that of a grim one. He already knew the human was coming. He'd heard about them through the guards. That was why he had ordered everyone to evacuate. That was why he had ordered only the strongest of his guard to try and hold them off. But if he was the last one standing, then he would take them on, even if he was unsure of whether or not he was capable of fighting something so fierce.

         "...Where's the human? And where is your family? Did they evacuate?" Asgore asked, MK then proceeding to gather up some air to speak.

         "T-they're in your house, I-I think. A-and my family went to the Capitol, but I... I didn't-! I wanted to see U-Undyne fight the human, but she...!" Quickly, the boy had gone from merely crying and wheezing to full-on sobbing, grieving for his hero after she'd died in such a gruesome way. And to think she'd died to save him too... Maybe part of this was somehow his fault... But he didn't have time to think that way. Not right now. Not when Asgore was here.

         It surprised the boy when he was suddenly picked up and hugged, but he quickly melted into it, even if it was kind of weird; he needed a good hug right now, and it seems King Fluffybuns was perfect for hugs.

         "Shhh... Young man, you were very brave, and you have done me and monster kind a great service in telling the location of the human. Thank you." The King didn't bother in wiping away the boy's tears, not when he seemed to need to cry, plus it would be better for him to cry now instead of later considering he would need to hide. But Asgore couldn't wait around and comfort the boy all day; if what he said was true, then the young monster would need to leave; he wouldn't let him witness another potentially dusty battle.

         "I-I... you're- welcome..." the young monster hiccuped, only to look up at the King with puffy eyes.

         "There there," Asgore hummed, patting his head with a smile on his face. "You've done what you can. Now please, let me get you some tea."

         At the sound of Asgore's statement, MK couldn't help but give him a confused look. Tea? Now? "Why? The human-!"

         "The human will come, and when they do, I will take care of them. But I can fetch you a quick cup of tea in the meantime. It won't take long." With that, Asgore then sauntered out of the room, heading to a path off to the side, a path that MK hadn't noticed before actually. In fact, now that he'd thought about it, he didn't think it was there before. A secret passage, perhaps?

         "I remember seeing you once at your school. You were extremely enthusiastic. Your name is MK, right?" asked the large goat monster, only for MK to suddenly nod excitedly.
