❤️💜SKIPPING 62K TO GO TO 63K BOIIIII💜❤️

---Goth's POV----

In the moment, I hadn't known what I was really doing. After hearing Palette's cry of fear, I had whipped around with Raven, the two of us freezing as we saw Palette down on the floor, looking up at X in pure fear as he prepared to stab a bone attack right through him.

The first thing I felt was pure panic, and then suddenly I felt myself running forwards. Running forwards faster than I'd ever done before to try and protect Palette like how he'd protected me all that time ago.

I flung myself out in front of Palette, full on knowing that by doing this, I'd most certainly die.

I could faintly hear the sound of my parents and brother screaming at me not to, but I was already there, stood ready to take the blow for Palette. I gulped, squeezing my eyes shut tightly as I prepared to feel the agonising pain of the sharpened bone attack spearing through my chest and shattering my soul.

But nothing happened.

An agonised scream rang out in front of me and I froze, my eyes flashing open.

No...

Stood in front of me, his arms flung out protectively...

Raven.

My eyes widened in horror as I saw the bone attack sticking out of his back, having sliced cleanly through his chest. "RAVEN!"

My brother collapsed into my arms, coughing and twitching, his whole body shaking violently. "G-Gothy...?"

I hugged him tightly to my chest, crying "No!" Over and over in refusal. "Wh-Why would you do that?!" I cried, tears already streaming down my face.

"Heh...b-because s-siblings...a-always look after...each other..." He mumbled, coughing up some blood after.

I went to stutter something back to him when he was suddenly torn from my grasp by X, his limp body being yanked harshly over to him.

My parents were flinging all sorts of attacks at X, screaming at him to let their kid down.

But we could only watch in pure horror as X cackled, forcefully shoving the bone attack deeper into him before summoning his soul.

"N-NO!" I screamed, running forwards. "RAVEN!!"

Raven tilted his face towards me, smiling weakly. Tears were streaming down his face, but he still smiled, mouthing something to me.

Instantly I froze, my whole world seeming to collapse as I caught what he mouthed to me.

I love you...

And then X crushed his soul, splintering it between his fingers as he let out a demented laugh, watching in delight as my brother's body started dusting.

I screamed, falling to my knees as I watched the magic from my brother's soul flow up X's arm and into his chest, making him cackle gleefully before dropping Raven.

As soon as my brother's lifeless body hit the floor, it exploded into dust, the grey ash-like particles flying up in the air from the impact before slowly sinking back down to the floor.

"N-No--" I breathed, gasping shakily. NO NO NO NONONONO--!!" I ran forwards, desperately trying to scoop up Raven's ashes, as if could mould him back together.

A shadow loomed over me, and I looked up, my whole body shaking as I came face to face with my brother's murderer.

"Oh I'm sorry little one~! Was he important to you~?" He burst out into hysterical laughter after, pulling back his dagger-like arm to strike me down as well. "Maybe you should go join him!"

I didn't react, staying still. My mind was too numb to make my body move or block the attack. I was just going to embrace it.

"GOTH!"

Suddenly something barrelled into my side and I was roughly slammed into the floor, my arm twisting horribly beneath me as I skidded across the floor.

Something pulled me to their chest, hooking an arm under my legs while the other supported my back before that person picked me up, running as they dodged another attack from X. I looked up weakly, my vision blurry from all the tears building up in my eyes before streaming down my face.

"I-It's okay Gothy...I-I've got you..." They muttered, skidding to a stop by who I can only assume were my parents.

Whoever was holding me wiped my tears away gently, clutching me tighter than ever before.

I blinked rapidly, my eyes widening as I saw who it was. "P-Palette...?"

He smiled weakly down at me before frowning, looking over at my parents.

Geno had fallen to the floor, clutching his chest tightly as silent tears of shock ran down his cheeks, his whole body shaking.

Reaper was stood in front of him protectively, tears also streaming down his face as he pointed his scythe at X. "Y-YOU MONSTER!"

X grinned, his body seeming to change right before our eyes. "Oh I love it when people call me that~"

I clung to Palette tightly, watching in fear as all X's wounds and injuries sealed up suddenly. Completely healed as if nothing had ever happened.

He chuckled darkly at the looks of terror on our faces before spreading his hands out, summoning several large hands behind him. The were clawed and pointed, having long purple spikes sticking out of the middle.

I could already picture one of them stabbing into someone, spearing right through their soul and shattering it, silencing its victim forever.

"Oh you've really messed up now~! Haven't you~?!" He yelled, cackling manically as he lashed out, aiming at Geno and Reaper.

Reaper growled, just about managing to block the attack with his scythe before one of the giant hands rammed into his side, narrowing avoiding piercing his chest as it aggressively shoved him out of the way.

Geno watched helplessly, his expression broken as X laughed hysterically, aiming several bone attacks at him.

"Time to join your child!" He yelled, firing them all forwards at once.

Geno didn't even try to move, ignoring mine and Reaper's desperate screams. He simply stayed on his knees, tears slowly dripping down his cheeks.

"Geno!"

Suddenly Geno was yanked out of the way from the bone attacks, blue strings being wrapped around his body.

Palette and I whipped around, nearly crying out in relief as we saw Error grab onto Geno, quickly scrambling back after.

"C'mon goth!" Palette yelled, putting me down to the floor before tugging me along, running over to where Pj, Gray and Dream were protecting the other kids.

We skidded to a stop behind them, watching with wide eyes as the fight took a turn for the worst. All the damage we had previously inflicted on X was gone. No sign it had ever been there in the first place.

I glanced to my side to see Cross grab a knife from that ghost child, ignoring Nightmare's desperate yells for him to stay back as he sprinted towards X.

He dodged an attack from X's daggers and slid under him before lashing around and slicing cleanly through X's leg, almost cutting it off completely.

X let out a roar of pain and fell to his knees, sending a bunch of those hand-like Gaster Blasters at Cross, grinning widely as he watched the black and white skeleton try to dodge them. "You can't doge forever Crossy~!"

Cross went to answer, but yelped instead as he suddenly tripped over something, his eyes widening in fear as he collided with the floor, immediately at X's mercy.

I could see Nightmare desperately trying to get to his feet and scramble over to him, but the blows he'd taken from earlier had weakened him substantially.

X cackled loudly, firing all of the blasters at once, completely obliterating everything there, creating a small cloud of smoke.

We all froze as the smoke cleared, only to almost collapse in relief as the figure of Dream could be seen stood in front of Cross, his expression dark.

He had a ring of fire around him, the flaming balls having stopped X's blasts. "This ends here X! Someone's winning this! And it's not going to be you!"

Out of the corner of my vision, I saw Fell and Sci booking it along with Gradient, the three of them abandoning us and running out of the room. They can't have been abandoning us, so obviously they have a plan.

X snorted in amusement, getting back to his feet. "And just how do you expect to win?"

Dream smirked, suddenly dragging Killer by his side. He gripped his wrist with the magic restraint, holding it up before pulling out something from his pocket. A key.

"Try, freeing some magic that's been building up for fifteen years."
