I Kill For The Trees!

[Guu]

However, the celebration ceased when the sticks began to glow a hellish red light. They started to float up in the air and move off into the woods towards the suspected direction of the tree.

“Ice Bear is in disbelief.” Said the polar bear.

“Heh, doesn’t look like the fight’s long from over guys!” Called out Undyne, grinning from ear to ear. “Not complaining, wood’s got nothing on me!”

“Well, yeah, you’re a lesbian.” Stated Sans.

“Tread carefully heroes!” Guu said in her social voice, refusing to acknowledge Sans’ comment. “The big bad is up ahead.”

The group run into the words, the trees around them looking more dead as they got closer to the heart of madness. Many of them were burnt black, ash covered the ground like dirt. Burnt tree branches shatter under the weight of Undyne’s stomp. Soon, the scorched woods outnumber the living ones; all around them was death. To our heroes, it gave a sense a dread, a sense of impending doom. It was something to lose your breath over.

Undyne’s lungs were burning. Ice Bear began to notice it too. They were no longer running, they were no longer thinking. Death hung heavily on their minds. They were no longer breathing. Who could breath at a time like this? What’s the point of going on? How long until their hearts stop and they’d be free of this stupid mission, this mortal coil.

They could be doing anything right now, they could be doing ANYTHING right now but opposing me. I’m not harming anyone by existing. Those trees were stuck to the ground, I am their messiah. I am their master. I’ve freed them from the greedy clutches of the Earth, and you, pathetic, ruthless white knights think it would be a much better world without me in it.

“Get out of my head!” Said someone.

Yes, waste that breath, bring you closer to oblivion. Best not to fight the end. Unlucky for you, you’ll come back, and then you’ll never come back here. I’m being nice right now, don’t make me pierce your heads, or give you a heart attack. It would be easier, but I’m being merciful by letting you die by your own accord.

“I don’t have lungs.” Said someone else.

I know, unfortunately, I have a different death planned for you. I’m just holding you in place for last. Not that you’ll do anything to stop me. You don’t give a shit about anything, and considering your current company, I don’t blame you.

“Ice Bear can hold his breath for a long time.” Said someone else.

Then at least you get to watch fish girl die first. Aint that fun? We are having fun right now. Isn’t this better than trying to kill me? Hahaha, isn’t it so much better with me in control? The elves sent you three here thinking it would change the natural order of things. Nice to know that mortal never chan-



Suddenly, the voice in their heads cut off. The ones that breath convulsively suck in air to their stinging lungs as they gain a sense of what’s going on.

Just behind them, Guu’s face is scrunched up as she pressed her hands against her forehead. She strained, a bead of sweat rolled down her forehead.

“I’m blocking her, go! Hurry!” She yelled.

With full control of their bodies restored, the trio take off further into the scorched woods. It didn’t take long for the threat to be clear. Amongst a large clearing was a large was a tree with black bark with a red streak going through it in a spiral. Its branches twist into the air as if they were in agony, the bushels of leaves take a sickly pale color. The branches began swing around wildly in response to the heroes’ arrival.

Approaching from behind the tree, the remaining timberwolves were joined by timbermen, all brandishing various martial weapons made from hardened wood. Behind the small brigade, the sticks and twigs of the fallen Timberwolves were slowly forming together, taking the shape of a giant wolf. Even in it’s unfinished state, it was almost as tall as the witch tree.

Without hesitation, our heroes charge into the fray, ready for the final confrontation of their adventure.
