---Cross' POV----

My eyes refused to believe what I was currently seeing. This could not be happening. This can't be happening!

I stumbled back, gripping onto Nightmare tightly as X swayed on his feet, his entire body seeming twisted and disproportionate.

"Where are you going~?!" He yelled, his voice sounding drunk and slurred, contorted in pain. "I-I haven't eaten all of your children yet~!"

"S-Stay away!" Ink yelled, looking at X with no emotions other than hatred and fear as he pulled Gradient back.

"Awwwww~ What's the matter, Inky~?" He cooed, his voice seeming to crack in several places. "You don't seem happy to see me for some reason~!"

"Just fucking die already!" Error yelled, flinging a bone attack at him. "OF COURSE WE DON'T YOU HERE!"

X gave us a twisted smirk, somehow managing to dodge the attack with ease. "Oh...that's not very nice...~ You've got quite the attitude, Glitch~ Almost as big as Chara's~"

Chara, who was sat down on the grass several meters away, hissed weakly. "Well no one can manage an ego as big as yours."

X chuckled softly, nodding. "Possibly~"

"No one deserves the title of Monster more than you." I growled, letting Nightmare pull me back slightly.

"Ouch, that hurt." X said, miming sadness. "Don't you think that Error would fit the description of a monster better~? Or maybe Nightmare~? Possibly Reaper~?"

"SHUT UP!" Reaper shouted, jumping up and swinging his scythe at him, successfully managing to cut a deep mark across X's already damaged left arm, making him cry out in pain.

"W-Well well. He can fight back." X chuckled weakly, looking down at his left side. It was a bleeding, mangled mess. His arm had been ripped from it's socket by Killer's blast, and the rest of his body was covered in wounds, slashes, burns and missing chunks.

Reaper growled loudly, lashing out with his scythe again. "YOU MURDERED OUR SON!"

X tried to deflect the scythe, but failed, his right hand being sliced right off completely. "YOU LOT DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

We glared at him coldly, narrowing our eyes. "Understand what?!"

X fell to his knees, coughing up blood as he glanced up at us. "Being forced to kill people so that you can survive...stealing people from their families...tearing people apart...DO YOU THINK I WANT THAT?!"

"You seem to!" Error yelled, stepping forwards by Reaper's side. "Don't try to get pity from us now, you sick monster. We feel nothing for you but hatred."

"Mmm, maybe so. But how would you feel if you were in my position? You're slowly dying. Everything you've ever tried to do to stay alive has failed. You're deteriorating, and you can't just end it with death just yet, it doesn't work like that. How would you feel if the only way you could live or die, the only way to end your endless pain was by stealing the soul of a child and absorbing it as your own, killing the child in the process?! Without that soul, you can't die! You can't live!  Do you know how that feels?! And then what happens? An old group of your enemies come along out of nowhere! And guess what?! They've got plenty of kids! Oh I'm telling you, temptation sits in fast! It claws at you like an animal! Tortures you until you can't take anymore! WOULD YOU WANT THAT?!"

We all flinched, taking a step back in surprise.

"Sh-Shut up!" Reaper hissed, pointing his scythe at him. "You didn't feel any regret whatsoever for what you did! Did you?!"

X laughed softly before looking right at me, smirking. "I will admit, I felt some guilt killing Crossy's child. But that's only because he's my son."

"Y-You're no dad to me!" I hissed, gripping onto Nightmare tighter than ever before as the memories of how X killed our unborn child rushed through my head.

"I knew you'd say that. But nevertheless, I'm glad I met the grandkids." He grinned, looking over Incubux, NiXss, Moonlight, Noah and Eph.

They glared coldly back at him, looking away.

Reaper growled softly, looking X up and down. "So now what?"

X chuckled, his voice suddenly darkening dangerously. "Oh don't you know~? It's the end game~ I know I'm going to loose~ But if I do~ I want it to be a fighting death~ You know what I mean~?"

Before we could even stumble back, he lashed out, a bone attack stabbing right through Reaper's right leg.

"Reaper!"

Error jumped back, wrapping his strings around Reaper and pulling him back as well before X could strike him again. "Little shit!"

X cackled manically, summoning deformed hand blasters around him. "NOW DIE!" He lunged at us, firing several blasts at once.

Nightmare yelped, quickly dragging me and the kids out of the was before it could scorch us. "Can this fucker just die already?!"

"I won't die until each and every one of your kids are dead or dying!" X yelled, firing at all of us again. "You're lucky I've only managed to devour two kids so far! One of them was practically handed to me, unable to fight back! And the other sacrificed themselves to me! Step in line kids! You're next!"

He tried to grab onto Sprinkle, but Desire jumped in front, blocking it with a small wall of bones.

"L-Leave us alone!" He shouted, the expression on his face heartbreaking.

"Awwwww~ Young love~?" X cooed, his melted grin widening. "How adorable~ The only way I could make it even cuter would be if I let you both die TOGETHER!!"

Sprinkle and Desire both stumbled back, yelping as X fired two blasts at them. The beams barely missed them, one of them almost hitting Desire.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH OUR KIDS!" Horror and Dust yelled at the same time, launching themselves at X before stabbing two sharpened bone attacks into him each.

X simply smirked, the attacks having not fazed him in any way. He simply pulled them out, barely even flinching. "Oh it's going to take more than just that to kill me, pipsqueaks!"

He suddenly lashed out at all of us, and before I could dodge, a blast slammed into me, slamming me into a nearby tree with a thud. I'm sure a few more of my ribs broke from that.

"Cross!" Nightmare went to run to me, but suddenly growled loudly, whipping back round to face X before lunging at him suddenly, his tentacles stabbing into him all at once.

X screeched in pain, stumbling back.

Nightmare hissed, suddenly forcefully shoving his tentacles to the side, ripping right through X. He practically split him in half.

X screamed, falling to the floor, blood flowing from him like a river.

Nightmare stabbed him through the chest, growling. "That one's for hurting Cross." He then stabbed him just below the neck, earning a strangled scream from X. "And that's for killing my child."

He glared down at X before glancing back at me, his expression softening slightly as he indicated for me to come over. He then did the same with Chara.

I glanced to the side as Chara groaned softly in pain, Betty helping him get to his feet. Grunting, I forced myself up as well, whimpering slightly from the pain of my damaged ribs.

Limping heavily, Chara and I stopped by Nightmare, looking up as him expectingly.

"Look." Nightmare muttered. "As much as I-- we all want to kill him. It really should be the two of you that do."

Chara chuckled softly, looking down at X's shaking figure as he summoned a knife by his side. "Oh I'm not going to protest with that. Not at all."

The others all stood back, nodding. They'd obviously agreed with Nightmare's decision.

"Yo Criss-Cross. You wanna stab the final blow?" Chara asked, glancing at me as he positioned his knife at X's chest, which was still rising and falling faintly.

I leaned against Nightmare, letting him wrap his arms around me. "...Sure..."

Chara gave me a weak smile before suddenly stabbing right through X's chest, twisting the knife deeper as X screamed out in agony. "This is for how you tortured us."

X screeched in pain as Chara dug the knife in again, smirking. "And that's for my brother."

He then stepped back, glancing at me as he offered the blood soaked knife. "You deserve to be the one to kill him. Take the honours."

I looked down at X, who was looking back up at me, his expression seeming to change. "Fine..."

I took the knife and stepped forwards, wrapping my fingers around the handle. Instead of stabbing him, like Chara had done, I reached a hand out, forcing his soul from his chest.

It was glitched, cracked, torn and dripping. You'd think it'd fall apart at any second.

X let out a weak laugh, looking up at me with pain filled eyes. "I-If you kill me...you'll be forever killing your child..."

I faltered slightly, my grip on the knife loosening slightly as I stiffened up.

X grinned widely, seeing my hesitation. "If you kill me, you kill them~ There could be a chance to save them~ But if you kill me, you'll kill them forever as well~"

I flinched, squeezing my eyes shut tightly. "Th-They're dead...A-And I'd rather let them die freely than be trapped inside of you for eternity."

And with that, I stabbed my knife right through his soul, opening my eyes is as I heard it crack and shatter.

X froze, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked at at his soul, the knife embedded deeply into it.

And then, without warning, it shattered, splintering into hundreds of tiny fragments.

X let out a choked gasp before his head fell back and he shut his eyes. "Well then... Congratulations... You've won..."

And with that, he dusted, his ash-like remains falling to the ground softly in a little heap.

I stumbled back, falling into Nightmare's arms. "H-He's dead... He's f-finally dead..."

Nightmare nodded, nuzzling me affectionately. "Yes Cross... Yes he is..."
