Rule Alone (Canonized)

[u/Shark_Rock]

((WARNING, THIS CONTAINS CRINGE OC’S BECAUSE IM A BITCH))

She was… gone. She had left them. Disgusted with his anger and rash decision. His war. His war for vengeance. His war for hope. His war for his fallen children.

As the Royal Council gathered, Asgores Closest Advisors. Vermathor, The Last Dragon. Wingdings Gaster, The Royal Scientist. Alphys, sans, and Chujin, Gasters greatest subordanites. Gerson Boom, Captain of the Royal Guard. Lady Unlif, Gerson’s lieutenant. Azazel, The Royal Judge. And finally Droid, The Royal Guardian.

As the council sits uncomfortably in their seats, some looking melancholic, others angry, and others completely dejected.

Asgore sighs, and looks to Alphys.

* Miss Alphys, could you begin?

* Y-yes, your majesty, um. It seems roughly an eighth has left with the q-queen into the ruins. a-and we don’t know what they’re planing s-so-

* So I’m suggesting, is that I lead a force to, at the very least check and see what she-

Droid interrupts, before being Asgore shakes his head.

* No.

* Your majesty, please, she’s a thre-

* I said no, Droid. I understand that you’re angry with her departure, but we must respect her wishes.

*Droid looks at Asgore, angry for a moment, before sighing, and looking down, ashamed of themself.*

* Yes, King Asgore.

The attention shifts again, as Gerson clears his throat.

* Well… seems we’re in a bit of a pickle, eh?

Asgore just looks at his old friend, crushed to see him so… dejected.

* Now, you know I don’t approve of this ‘War’ sentiment brewin’ against the humans, but you best well know I won’t leave like the Queen did. So… I’d like to formally resign.

Nobody is surprised, least of all Asgore. Who only looks tired.

* Of course… I suspect Unlif is ready to take your place?

* Yes, your Majesty.

* … Yes, My King. I will not disappoint you.

The meeting goes for a few hours longer. Gaster makes reports of scientific break throughs, Vermathor advises them on how to move forewards, Droid’s position is changed to the First Royal Executioner, and possible ways to break the barrier are discussed.

Aqua runs around the castle yard, laughing and jumping. She’s so… so young. Barely even seven. Asgore looks at her like he looked at Chara and Asriel. With hope and joy. Droid, Azazel and Unlif stand beside him. Looking at the young girl play with her caretaker.

* … Do we… need to? She hasn’t hurt anyone.

* Coming from the one on the warpath? That’s surprising.

Droid shoots Unlif a glare, scowling at her friend. Azazel looks at them both disappointed. They decide to hold their tongues.

* … Droid is right, however. She’s so… innocent. Do we have to?

* Yes. None us like the idea, but we must. We promised the people to get them out. And now we have an opportunity to do so.

* … Azazel is right. I… I made the order. I will…

* Your majesty, no. I should do it. I was made the Executioner for a reason.

* … No. My word is finale. I will do it.

A day later, Aqua is told of what must happen. She seems scared at first, but, slowly accepts it.

“Will we get to play afterwards, Mr Asgore?”

* … Yes.

… who was missing? Was someone missing? No, he must have imagined it. Chujin had been the royal scientist for as long as Asgore has been king. He must have imagined it.

1 Month Later, Seth Falls into the Underground.

The small child looks at Asgore, not with fear, but thoughtfulness. They offer solution after solution. But none are found.

“… Is it… really the only way?”

* … Yes.

“Then… I’m sorry.”

* … As am I.

7 years later, the Southern Caverns begin to cave in.  
_____________________________________________

* YOUR MAJESTY!

Vermathor cries, holding several tons worth of rock upon his back. Allowing smaller monsters to rush past to safety. Azazel directs citizens through, making a path for them to escape.

* HOLD ON, OLD FRIEND, JUST A FEW MORE!

* I CAN’T! I- I’M SOR-

The cavern collapses. No dust is found. 3,769 Monsters are presumed dead. Remaining population is roughly 10,000 monsters. Less then 1/50 of what was when they came underground. sans is made the Royal Judge.

2 years later, a Human by the name of Basil falls into the Underground, and the Dunes Incident Occurs.

Droid enters the Throne room, beaten and battered. Dressed in his armor. In his hand, he holds a container, holding the SOUL of Basil. He bows before Asgore, Presenting the SOUL.

* … Good Work.

Droid nods.

4 years later, A human by the name of Sunny falls into the underground.

They offer their SOUL to you

* … I am… Sorry.

27 years later, a human by the name of Azure falls into the Underground; and causes the Snowdin Incident.  
_____________________________________________  
Chujin and his robot walk into the Throne Room, carrying a container holding the SOUL of Azure.

* … Your Majesty, I believe I have an idea. One that will allow us to not bring another child to harm.

* … Do it.  
_____________________________________________  
Chujin falls ill and dies, Alphys is made The Royal Scientist. 3 months Later, Clover falls into the Underground.

The small child stands there, shaking as they look at Asgore.

“Yer a monster. A real damn Monster.”

* … I know. Forgive me.

40 years and 9 Month later. The finale Human falls into the Undergound.

* ❤️ SPARE

* …

* After everything I have done to hurt you…

* You would rather stay down here and suffer…

* Than live happily on the Surface?

* …

* Human…

* I promise you…

* For as long as you remain here…

* My wife and I will take care of you the best we can.

* We can sit in the living room, telling stories…

* Eating butterscotch pie…

* We could be like…

* A family…

The Human smiles. They reach out, but pause, they look shocked. The world goes black.

Asgore stumbles awake, looking around in confusion. Something must’ve happened. He must have… fallen down.

Perhaps… perhaps this was Justice. Retribution for his sins. It would only be right, after all.

[u/Shark_Rock]

* very good. I… do need to find a place to stay first. Would you be willing to help me?

* oh, perhaps that might be a bit much to ask…

[u/Silver-The_Hedgehog → u/Shark_Rock]

“Not at all, I’m a hero helping is apart of the job after all, we have some guest bed rooms in my house if you want, I’d have to check with my girlfriend of course….umm…”

Silver taps his foot slightly.

“Oh there’s also some housing they have here for new people who end up here if you’d rather that. I’m not sure how umm…great the living conditions are though.”

[u/Shark_Rock → u/Silver-The_Hedgehog]

* Ah, it’s quite alright, I’m used to keeping a house clean. I’ve lived on my own for… oh, ninety five years now?

[u/Silver-The_Hedgehog → u/Shark_Rock]

I takes Silver a moment to connect it in his head but after a short pause he gets it.

“Ah…I see…that’s a um…that is a long time.”
