.. ... .... white, Frisk found themselves in a white place, they were in the bed of their home, how did they got there? They have were their cellphone, something that was far from being a normal one that you would find in your local store, unless your local store sells phones that could disarm bombs, turn into a jetpack, have two dimensional boxes that could place stuff in there, and it could shoot lasers with the yellow button of the phone.
They also had some itens bag with them, making them confused, but they dindt complain, founders keepers, right? Even tho they had their own itens in store, they try to call someone, nothing, they try again, nothing, they try the dimensional boxes, it works, maybe its have time and space propreties.
Frisk gets everything they think they need and decide to explore
But they encounter a shocking image
~
White.
How?
The place seems empty.
Carry on
They were close to getting to the castle
Just needed to go to the Final Corridor, nothing could had stopped.
What is this place.
With nothing but their itens in hand, their Real Knife, red as can be, and The Locket, that they could hear it beating, they decided to proceed
Then, they encounter something very, very, interesting
~
Frisk coulndt believe what they were seeing, a perfect mirror of themselves, but they seem... distant and at the same time, they couldnt recognize the image as them, Frisk couldnt explain, the thing also had the Worn Dagger, old as ever, and the Heart Locket, who is seen with wear, how did this figure had that?
~
That is different.
No matter.
They on the way.
~
The figure seems to step closer and closer, Frisk didnt liked that, when suddenly
*SLASH*
Miss, thank goodness they dodged, it was fast, thankfully, Frisk had gone tho worse things, like a god shooting beams and lightining at them, but they cant get cocky now, this is clearly don't a cause to just stand around
~
Dodged.
How.
They were fast.
This wasnt planned.
- BATTLE BEGINS-
"...." Frisk is ready to whatever may happen, they try to check them, it was clear that the figure ahead was not good news, they were certainly very agressive with that attack, but they actually dindt seem that strong, however, they cant let this say about the opponent
The figure was checking too, to them, this was another one blocking the way
".... Ahem... Hello?.... are you... alright?" Frisk dindt know what to say or do for now, they always had a hint what to do when they had fighted someone back in the Underground, all that they could see in the Things face was someone... troubled... and the expressions.. wasnt theirs
How ever, this doesnt work, as the figure does another attack with the dagger, Frisk, again, dodges and pushes the figure away, "Back off!" Frisk exclaimed
Frisk was already wondering what to do, there is many ACTions to subdue someone without hurting someone, but is gonna be hard to do so with them, and they can't talk it out with it, since this.. doesn't even want to hear them.
Another attack happen, horizontal, Frisk barely dodge
The figure was clearly getting frustated, its shouldnt be happening, there is no logic to this, and the human wont stop moving, but they will keep attacking, one moment they will hit them.
Dodging again, Frisk tries to grab the doppelganger weapon, but get punched in the face, it dindt hurted and barely damaged them, but soon they are struck by a slash, it hurts, they gasp and hold the wound, but they are not dying by this, this is nothing compared to what they dealt with, a knife? This was far from being at the level of bombs and lasers.
The figure stops in desbelief, they are still standing, it shouldnt happened, yet, the human is acting as nothing, as if was not that damaged, but it get itself togheter and continues.
Frisk advances fowards the thing, avoiding the attack and throwing it, don't very far, but falling to the ground, Frisk takes the time and eat a Spider Donut, healing themselves.
"Look, I don't want to fight, but you are making it harder" Frisk gets their line cut by avoiding another attack, they reach out their itens
The Human have healing to they proporsal, it have to stop-
*PLANK*
The figure rather comedically get hit in the face by a pan, the knife falls to the ground
"Look, I dealed with worse, you DONT know what survived to, so please, leave that knife there, and we can resolve this peacefully" the thing, however, very quickly, got the knife back and was ready to another strike
"You are NOT making this easy.." Frisk defends with the pan, but the doppelganguer have a strong grimp and don't let the knife go
"Please, I know that, somewhere in there, you dont want to do this" Frisk speaks up, the other tries to attack, but Frisk do a side step and trips it
".... you have a high LOVE, I can see it" Frisk says "The way that you seem distant... the way that you attack, it says it all, but... why?" Frisk is just received by another desperate slash that only hit the clothes ".... I can tell... you seek power, you see yourself above the others, but sorry, LOVE is NOT going to help you like it did before" Frisk notices how dusty it is "it may have worked to your victims, but, I will say, and this is don't me getting heroic, is just the truth, Humans are NOT affected by ill emotions like monsters, and this tiny worn dagger won't help
The figure heard it, but it refuses, they have power, they are stoppable to the enemy.... but this human is, acting as if this is child play
"I think you CAN do better, but they way you acting doesn't help" the figure attack, but again defend it and is deflected
Frisk then gets ready for the next strike, it happens so, it tries to stab but Frisk side step, grabs its arm and spin and toss it away
The thing attacks again, Frisk defends, again, Frisk dodges, and even when Frisk is hit, it is nothing to them, and they just heal themselves afterwards
No matter how, Frisk will still pesist
They don't give up HOPE
They are Determined
"Im sorry for this" Frisk lets the other attack, but then, they hit it with the pan, making them fall to the ground, Frisk quickly gets the knife and toss it alway, the thing tries to get up, but Frisk hit it again "You are not going near it"
It gets up, it do a desperate attack, attempting to punch the human, they just lean backwards and the punches are mostly missed, the once malicious grin was seen to become a a frustated emotion, if more... fear
Frisk just stands there, doing nothing "You can't win, you know that, if even if you say, kill me, I will come back, this flaming will, this golden light, it wouldnt let me stop, I know you will hurt more people if things don't change, and I will don't stop if I can do anything now! So please, don't you see? The person you are hurting most is yourself, you may feel less hurt, you may, in your eyes, becoming stronger, but this pain, it tells us something, pain is not a pleasant feeling, but with it, we can cure ourselves faster, without pain, without feeling hurt, you will meet a miserable fate without receiving a hint.. I know there is someon in there! A playful child with hopes in their eyes, someone that you can be friends with! So please, show it, come back to reality!" Frisk says with all their heart
It is just tembreling, all of this shouldnt had happened, the plan was perfect, there was nothing to stop it, than suddenly this FAKE appears and humiliates it, it couldnt belief, and should-
It get cut off
Frisk is seen hugging it
Tears are appearing, the thing..., no, this child, was finally coming back to being themselves, those emotions, are theirs, they also hug
"I knew it... you arent gone... you can still do what is good, so do it..." Frisk says smiling
.....
......
......
...
All fades away
The human is seem lying in a corridor, they know what they must, concetrating themselves, they awaken in a bed of golden flowers.
~
Frisk wakes up, they look around, is their room, was all of this... a dream...? ...It doesnt matter, its was as if they could feel a part of themselves becoming better, is was as if they could feel a certain, forgiviness, but for what, they did nothing wrong?... they realize, they could have been what they had seen, and they forgive and feel forgiven by themselves, any problems that Frisk had, they feel lifted alway, they could feel self-love, instead of being just like them, Frisk did all right choices, they showed love to everyone, and always showed their best, they dindt let others change their vision of themselves, they are what they are, and nothing will change that, it was never kill or be killed, because that
Despite everything
It still you, Frisk
