the OOC version where they actually do trick clover, in character version where flowey tricks him up next.
clover woke up with a jolt.
the last thing he remembered was... after his death.
his friends had laughed about it, all about how they tricked the kid.
clover got up and appeared before him
F: "you know how it happened, buddy!"
F: "so, your choice now. since you dont have a soul, you wont be hunted"
F: "do you try to live peacefully..."
F: "or do you give them what they deserve?"
F: "either way, im here for ya."
clover reached out to the save point flowey left behind.
the feisty five and ceroba were watching TV, just flicking through channels
"BRE-" "next you add the-"
Ed: "hey go back what was that?"
"ITS BEEN REPORTED THAT A HUMAN IS IN NEW HOME. SURVIVORS ARE SAYING THAT THE HUMAN DOES NOT HAVE A SOUL!"
C: "thats clover!"
S: "shit. he's not dead?"
everyone's silent for a moment
Ace: "the only reason he'd be doing this if he knew what you two did after he died."
starlo and ceroba very quickly run out of the house.
ceroba is going to the steamworks, in hopes of stopping it before it gets too far.
starlo, to evacuate the wild east and oasis.
C: "c'mon damnit, where's axis"
ceroba hears footsteps behind her, they come to a stop
she only barely manages to turn around and deflect a shot from clover's gun, her staff gets snapped in half.
C: "clover i swear its not what it seems l-"
clover shoots again with a grazing shot, since ceroba wasted her turn.
C: "look, i know it seems bad but-"
another shot, this one landed
clover was angry enough to kill ceroba in one hit
F: "even after everything she's done. and she's still trying to lie to you!"
F: "imagine if monsters ever got to the surface, what they'd do to humanity."
clover's rampage continued into the dunes, he couldnt find axis unfortunately.
not many were left thanks to starlo, but finding the cowboy himself was easy.
S: "so... ceroba failed."
S: "i'll admit it, we tricked you."
S: "wasnt hard either. i almost feel bad about it..."
S: "but, pardner, it was for the good of everyone down-"
clover had heard enough, he shot starlo's hat off"
S: "alright, we'll fight"
wasnt much of a fight, starlo fumbled his bullets due to stress.
F: "golly! he just admitted it. didnt even try to "
F: "good thing im here to help you, ey buddy?"
clover continued through the dunes until he found the spot where he fell with the raft, the wreckage was still there
F: "well aint that a sour memory?"
F: "but it looks like that was your only way up as well!
clover stared at flowey
F: "do i have a way up?"
a ladder of vines starts weaving through the stones
F: "sorry pal, thats the best i can do"
clover climbs up...
lower waterfall.
F: "hey buddy you made it!"
F: "the nice part about being soulless is that you dont have to worry about silly things like stamina."
F: "but now that you're here lets get you saved up!"
clover saved and began emptying out lower waterfall.
it wasnt long before he was interrupted by an energy blast.
A: "HUMAN. I HAVE SEEN THE NEWS."
A: "I DID NOT THINK THAT WE EVEN HAD A WORKING TELEVISION DOWN THERE."
A: "BUT YOU!"
axis lets off another energy blast, clover dodges
there were no more words as the two went to fight.
since axis wasnt blocking, he was taking all of clover's shots.
axis died, clover continued to lower snowdin.
F: "there's martlet buddy. you know what to do"
clover snuck up behind martlet and let off a single shot.
she never even knew that he was alive, she just died...
clover turned to flowey
- reload. tell me to get her attention
F: "... huh? well, alright."
F: "there's martlet buddy. get her attention first, make sure she knows who's doing her in!"
clover shot the roof of martlet's guard stand
M: "huh- CLOVER?!"
M: "clover, im sorry. really. b-but you know how it is! i had a job to do. i was just... doing it."
clover took a step forward
M: "i mean it! if it could've gone another way i would've done that in a heart beat."
clover took a step forward
M: "b-but look, you're alive again! things can be different now so why dont you just-"
clover raised his gun
M: "j-just drop the gun and we can-"
clover let out a final ringing shot.
he stood there in silence as flowey popped up
F: "so, buddy. what next? dalv's left the ruins you know, you could-"
clover points up a cliff
F: "huh, the main path? well if you're so sure..."
F: "but what about dalv? c'mon nobody would-"
clover shoots flowey a glare
F: "ugh alright fine! of all people you leave alive..."
flowey made another vine ladder for clover
he had emptied the underground
not a single monster remained, even flowey had been cut down
at some point it went beyond simple vengeance, and became killing purely because its what was imprinted on clover's mind without a soul.
asgore's soul was taken
now clover stood face to face with the human souls and their containers.
...
he shot them, one by one.
it was the only conclusion, really.
flowey had made someone worse than himself.
a machine that could only kill, because all else had been replaced with that.
clover shot the last soul, a myriad of multicolor fragments littered the floor
he walked out of the underground, ready to move onto his next group of victims.
and the in character version where flowey was the one that tricked clover, abbreviated to parts that are the same as the OOC version
F:"yep, thats EXACTLY how it went buddy."
"so, your choice..."
ceroba was in the steamworks, going over it a bit more thorougly
she wanted to recover some things that chujin had made
she heard footsteps behind her
C: "... clover?"
C: "clover! you're alive i cant-"
flowey popped up
F: "hah, she was about to pretend to care about you! c'mon buddy, lets move on"
clover took the dunes by surprise
he started with starlo in the middle of the wild east
from there, everyone was in too much of a panic to really fight back.
clover made it to snowdin
he stood behind martlet
M: "huh... clover! clover you're alive!!!"
martlet ran to hug clover...
and got dusted without even knowing how he had changed.
- reset
M: "huh... clover! clover you're alive!!!"
clover shot martlet's hand
M: "ow! that hurt. why did you..."
clover raised his gun to martlet's head
M: "clover? im not sure what happened but we can talk about it!"
clover held his aim
M: "look, if you're mad about us not stopping you i get it, really. if i could i'd go back in time and slap myself."
M: "but you're here now! things can be-"
clover shot martlet
flowey popped up
F: "gee golly! and you know what the best part is?"
F: "they never actually betrayed you! i made it all up. and you blindly killed them because i told you too."
...
F: "nothing? c'mon i know we're not supposed to feel but you should at least pretend to be upset!"
...
clover simply pointed up a cliff.
