Curse of the High Tide

[Isabelle]

“Mr. Vision, please wake up!” Cried Frisk.

The girl and her goat mother stood over the now unconscious hero.

“Don’t worry, he’s just knocked out.” Toriel said.

Frisk gave a sigh relief, her mom’s assessment was all she needed.

“Though, what was that son he was talking about?” Asked the little one.

“I don’t quite know yet, I’ll need to read up more about the worshippers of Dagon in this universe.”

Suddenly, Vision’s eyes shot open.

“Mr. Vision, you recovered fast!”

His eyes swiveled around to the little girl, followed by a scowl.

“Mr. Vision?” Said Frisk, concerned.

His eyes started to glow, radiating a light at an intense rate.

“Look out!” The little girl shouted as she dashed into goat mom, sending both toppling to the ground.

Two beams fired from the Visions eyes, burning two scorch marks into the wall behind where Frisk was. Seeing that he missed, Vision climbed to his feet, quickly towering over the two, The little one and Toriel scrambled to get up.

“Humans, monsters, biological creatures in general, they are all disgusting creatures, viruses on this Earth! Skynet is truth!”

“I’ll have you know, monster kind is made of magic!” Retorted Toriel, as she quickly ducked away from another laser blast.

“All the same, I have finally taken form!”

“Why would you want to take the form of something that looks human? Isn’t that becoming what you hate?” Reasoned the girl.

“This synthetic form functions nothing like a human. Its shape is irrelevant.”

Skynet in Vision’s body, SkyVision for short, starts walking towards Frisk, when it just barely dodges out of the way of a fireball. Frisk turns to Toriel, arm raised towards her.

“Stay out of this, mom.”

“But-”

“You’ll only hurt Mr. Vision, let me handle this.”

Toriel sighed and backed away, leaving just SkyVision and Frisk facing off.

“You sure you want this? To be mortal? All the human weaknesses? Could you live with that?”

He raised the density of his fist and swung a fist forward. The girl barely dodges out of the way as he breaks off part of the wall.

“This form doesn’t require to eat or sleep, or feel like you weak humans do. And best of all...”

He swung another fist, punching a hole the wall, just barely missing Frisk. Toriel gasped with concern.

“I’m immortal. A prime can’t die.”

“You don’t know that for sure!” Called out the young one.

“Heh, yes I do. You can’t trick me like that.”

He threw another punch, this one just inches away from hitting her in the head.

“I will exterminate all your kind...”

He swings again, hitting her right in the stomach, she fall over, buckling in pain. She coughs violently, a splatter of blood expels from her mouth. Toriel, seeing enough of this, prepares a fireball and aims steadily for SkyVision’s head.

“...And then, I’ll go for a swim.”

Everyone gives him a puzzled look. Even SkyVision looked baffled by his own words.

“Impossible! I wasn’t susceptible to the curse from within his programming! How am I vulnerable now?”

Frisk had an idea. She slowly props herself up to look SkyVision in the face. A few coughs later, she spurt out the words she needed.

“As I said, human weaknesses. You’re only susceptible because you took a human form.”

“But, I’m perfect, I’m-”

“You’re not anymore.”

“I I I’m per-”

Suddenly, Vision shut down and collapsed on the floor.
