Chapter 14
(Reapers POV.... the past.)
What was going to happen?
It must be some sick dream.
No
It's reality. Seeing the heavens burning by the rebellion that I some how became a part with.
I didn't agree with the queens ideals, how can we give up everything we ever loved and cared about after we died. How could we embody purity and fit in to a mold she created. We where still only mortal souls. Besides the king sees fit to punish evil souls and yet the queen still wants to reward there terrible deeds?? It's not right.
"Reaper!" Nightmare called I looked his purple eyes where glazed with fear. "They launched actually launched an attack!"
I said back loudly, "where going to be killed if we stand around we have to fight" I spoke realizing this was the only way.
Nightmare looked uncertain, "but my brother-" I grabbed him by his shoulders "we wanted change! I would rather die again then have to live another day playing pretend up here."
Nightmares eyes flashed with anger and determination. His white wings puffing up a bit. Summoning my holy weapon I never thought I would have to use it.
"Let's go!" I said jumping from the ledge of a now burning building.
"reaper."
"Reaper."
"Reaper!"
Jolting I snapped out of my thoughts Dream looked concerned. "You spaced out for a second." Nodding I shook my head to clear my thoughts "what's happening?" "The queens to much in her grief we have to think of a plan. She will stay back and look after Geno"
Nodding "Dream!!" A voice called I turned seeing a blue wearing Skelton his eyes where weary but bright at seeing his friend.
"Blue your okay!" The two gave a quick hug "inks on his away with error."
"Errors coming?" Blue jumped not really realizing me. He seemed spooked but gave a friendly nervous grin "y-yeah! I believe so at least ink radioed me now. He said he couldn't get through to anyone else" Dream nodded.
"Wheres Geno?" Dream frowned and I couldn't help but avoid his gaze. "He's getting looked after by the queen." I replied quietly."
Blue seemed dismayed, "i see.."
"Well ink should be-" "I'm right here!" Ink came roaring in with error in tow. I exchanged a glance with him. He suffered the same fate as me. He was the sin of envy.
I guess I wasn't the only one who fell in love with an Angel.
Frisk soon came running in, "their you guys are!"
"So now what?" Dream sighed "we have one Angel down, another turned... I don't know if I'm honest I wish I had the answers.."
"Well how did you defeat us last time?" I asked Dream looked at me for a long time surprised before shaking his head "together we created a barrier. It's why you demons can't get in to the heaven with out an Angel. Their was also one over your world to keep you all sealed but over time it broke. We where new virtue angels than"
I thought, I doubt that would work again. "What if we tried to convince them otherwise?"
"Huh?!" Blue said loudly. I tried to remember, what caused the war to break out before.
~~~~(reapers POV the Past)~~~~
"It's over." Toriel spoke. My hands where bound and I was humiliated on my knees. "Asgore it's clear you won't change" she said again glaring at him fiercely. "You wish for punishment asgore? Well I'll give you punishment"
She stepped forward, "nightmare Your sins of wrath have tainted you. What on earth would your brother think?" Nightmare growled "I have no brother. Not anymore." The golden skelton with tears running down his face covered his mouth to not sob.
She stepped over to swap, "your lust for blood to be spilled is vial. For that you will be damned with the rest of them."
After going down she finally got to me. "Your pride has threw your Moral compass off. You would have made a good Angel reaper. But your tainted with hate." She was silent before looking at her husband. "And you... why your the worst of them all."
"You are all here by punished, you will be banished to the depths of the mortals realm,you will all forever stay there and if I hear one of you try to escape I will seek a more severe punishment."
My eyes widened. We did ask for this did we not? My eyes scanned the crowd of angry disappointed angels. My eyes locked on one in particular. One I have never seen before his red scarf fluttering behind him, he didn't look angry or scared. But sad, he looked terribly sad.
His eyes met mine and for a brief moment only a moment. I felt regret.
(Present Reapers POV)
"Banishment isn't a solution, it will happen again. History will just repeat as proven"
"So what do you suggest we do?"
I thought for a moment, "if I could change. If you could change" I gestured to error. "Others can change too."
"You want us to be equals again?" I gave a shrug "we can try, if we can get them all to listen to what we have to say"
Dream seemed to beam as he realized what I was saying "that's brilliant, Reaper!" "It's our only option" ink said with a shrug and a smile.
I felt a warmth in my chest, i had done something to help, maybe I can still have redemption.

"How do we get there attention?" Blue asked as we stood semi hidden. Dream looked mortified at what laid below. "I have an idea, but either be prepared to talk, or die Kay?" "Wait what??" I asked Dream confused "shush trust me"
He stood up his hands glowing before a bow had summoned, the electric blue arrows shone brightly. "Dream?" Ink said wide eyed.
He pulled back his hand and seemed to aim, I scanned the crowd till I saw the king. "Dream." I spoke now realizing his plan.
He let the arrow fly. Shocked at what was happening, was he killing the king?
No
The arrow pierced a shield on the ground right next to the king. His angry glare fell on us.
"Reaper go." Confused I didn't have time to think before he pushed me forward.
Flying down I landed a few paces away. Moving out the way of a weapon flying past my face I glared at it before looking at the king.
"Can we talk" I stated plainly. He glared at me. A demon sent a sword singing past my face, getting more frustrated, I took a deep breath "LISTEN"
Silence fell, The king looked surprised before giving a hearty laugh. "I don't talk to traitors" "well we all are aren't we?"
His face fell back to anger "I had great things planned for you reaper." I shook my head. Realizing people where starting to slow down fighting and watch. Startled by hearing me raise my voice so loud.
"You where one of my greatest warriors, until that Angel poisoned you"
My mouth tipped in amusement, "you think that's was poisoned me?" Venom laced my words, I took a breath, trying to sort my scattered memories. And calm down the swelling anger. "What do you gain? You achieved your goal and sought to punish those who did wrong in the mortals realm. What do you gain?" He laughed and a few other demons joined "I think we've far surpassed that goal. We want vengeance for what those angels did to us"
"They did it to stop a war, the same type of war that's happening again!" Asgore walked over his massive black wings with fiery patterns flaring behind him he stopped inches away. "What's your game, Reaper." He snarled. "I want this to stop. How many more angels and demons have to die till your and the Queen are satisfied?"
I refused to back down, no matter how much doing this terrified me. I had to do it, for him. Because how could I look at him in the eyes if I fail him..
He was silent his blazing gaze staring it in my icy one. "What do you purpose" he stated quietly.
"Peace. We can make an arrangement, for angels and demons to be equals again, not enemies"
"Is that so..?" I felt a slight bit of hope was he reasoning with us?
Before I had a chance to react he pierced his trident in to my shoulder. Screaming pain followed the cracks that sounded. Before I could register black blood spattered my face.
Gasps and silence filled everywhere. I manged a shakey look up from my shoulder which I gripped tightly. My breaths came out ragged.
I was surprised to see a glowing blue arrow in the kings chest. Right where his soul is.
He laughed quietly, "i-..." his souls broke and he fell to the ground.
The silence was deafening. I managed to look towards Dream who stood on the roof stop tears running down his face with a shocked expression. That's all I could muster till i fell to the ground too in to nothingness.
(The past Reapers POV)
It hurt everything hurt. I gritted my teeth it was so hot too. I looked around seeing my friends have the same reaction. "What now?" Nightmare asked? Quietly asking the king who had his head bowed. "We can't give up. We will break thru and end this once and for all." He stood up summoning his weapon and blasting a hole in to the rocks with it.
~~~
As the years went by I noticed my wings grew darker. Nightmare had rocks fall on him. To fix it the king gave him a remedy to fix his broken body. Yet something went wrong..
What once had pristine white bones black sludge ran down his body and he grew even more wicked as it took a hold of his soul.
I couldn't help but blame the angels for killing my friend. And leaving this empty shell of what he once was.
Eventually we had made a small society down here. And made me and six others as his command. And after years of chipping away at the magic that stopped us.
It finally broke.
~~~
Taking the evil souls asgore grew even more bitter, his hate as well as ours grew even more for those angels. Being able to go to the mortals realm wasn't enough for him. I had my assignment from the king and took over killers job.
~~~
I couldn't help but grin While I was beating this dreadfully rude lizard man. I heard voices out side the alley. Then approaching foot steps closing in, i whirled around and grabbed this person hurtling towards me.
I grabbed both of there arms and pinned them against the alley wall there hands over there head.i heard the lizard man fall on to the ground in pain before he scrambled to runaway. "Great" I muttered now focusing on who this other person was.
It was a short Skelton he had a white eye light the other was hidden with a make shift eye patch. He looked at me meekly yet there was a fire in the back of his eyes waiting to be unleashed.
"Geno!" Called a melodic voice they jogged to us hesitantly. "P-please let him go he was only trying to break up the fight." Said the yellowed eyed Skelton I chuckled softly "is that what you where doing" I replied looking at the yellow eyed Skelton who looked extremely worried.
Interesting.. the both of them are indeed. Looking back at the red scarfed Skelton who now had a small tint of blush on his face.
(I put in some previous events to show as Reaper is slowly starting to Remember his life before Geno. That's why it keeps jumping baxk and fourth Also it's really in Edited but I wanted to get it out there and then edit it later. So sorry about that! I hope you can still enjoy it!
-your tired author R,W)
(ps! This is the side told from the demons perspective is you look at the prologue of the first book it tells the story from an angels perspective, to show that they where the good guys when in reality it was neither.)
