Eros Ending

It's hard to be a spectator when the channel broadcasts breaking news. Flashes of battle between Flowey and his opponents are shown, though most are blurry with the heavy action being filmed, only a cameraman and a news reporter present to record them. You see the flower -- now a beast -- strike vine after vine, giving his challengers no time to recover from each blow they take. His strikes are incessant, and you can feel your heart clench when you catch a glimpse of familiar faces: Undyne giving it her best, throwing spear after spear at his main grabbing points, attempting to keep him pinned yet failing every try; Toriel trying her hardest not to show sorrow as she tries to talk with the flower in the very middle of battle; the brown bear protecting people nearby by warning them to leave; his wife doing the same; and a stubborn Temmie -- the one who'd fallen for you at the elevator -- distracting the flower by being as disruptive as she best could.

While she's not in battle, you can tell Alphys is present when a decoy camera points directly at the flower, shooting a net at him in an attempt at getting him to stay still and listen. It doesn't last, how sharp his leaves are making the would-be tough fabric snap like twigs. Muffet is another that shows her abilities through means aside from physical confrontation. Spiders of all shapes, colours, and kinds swarm Flowey's vines and roots, nibbling at him from all directions.

"Enough!"

He lashes a vine on par with his shout, sending Toriel and Undyne flying with the mere strength of the wind it produces. The bear and the bunny keep civilians safe by the town plaza, trying to convince the officers present not to cross any lines for the sake of their own lives, and to help the pair take people to safety instead. The Temmie aids Undyne, handing her some armor and helping her get back to her feet, tending to Toriel next.

The camera cuts as another sound takes over -- deafening, violent, and powerful. There's no other way you can place it, the silence that follows after sending a chill down your spine.

"You really know how to disappoint your creator, don't you? I bet ol' W.D.'s rolling in his grave or wherever he is with how pathetic you've become." It's Flowey's voice, some struggle to his words despite the general tone of them. "If there's anyone weaker than you, I pity them. I thought (Y/N) was the weakest at first, but at least they knew how to manipulate you into being a big softie! Who ever told you monsters and humans were ever meant to be friends? Isn't what they did to you enough proof it's not meant to be?"

The same noise sounds again -- stronger, and followed by a louder one barely seconds later. Film returns afterwards, depicting a confident flower and a tired skeleton, both facing each other as the rest try to recover in the background.

"Don't tell me you're keeping them locked away? Are you really that scared of losing them, or are you just worried you'll have to do this all over again? I'm surprised you're even letting anyone else help you with this with how paranoid you are."

"Shut up for one second, punk," Undyne calls, shielded by Temmie armor. The owner stands next to her, controlled shaking hinting at her eagerness to take action. Toriel joins in, Muffet and a spider-cupcake appearing behind them, giant enough to tower over everyone present besides Flowey -- kept higher by nature he rips off from the community gardens around him. "Can't you see we're trying to talk with you here? You're way more stubborn than I ever was, and that's saying a lot."

"I didn't ask any of you idiots to be my therapist," Flowey snaps, baring his teeth at the fish woman. "Try to kill me if you want to end this. Your Mercy's more than useless against me -- Either kill me, or I'll kill you!"

He aims a vine at Undyne, though Toriel stops him, using a small blast of fire rather than a ball of it -- catching him off guard. "Stop this nonsense, child. Frisk has been looking after you ever since we left the Underground. Have you not learned anything still?"
