   The Auditorium door opened silently into the dark, as Kris and Ralsei peaked their heads inside and looked around. The first thing they noted was the crowd of zombies, waving their hands into the air and snarling like rabid dogs. 

   "You think he's in here?" Ralsei asked. Kris nodded and looked to the stage, staring at two figures in particular. One was Jevil, easily distinguishable by the makeup and jester look, the other a strange monster tied with up with Christmas lights. Kris didn't need to take two looks to know who that monster was. It was incoherent babbling to them, but the Kris knew they were talking.

   Perfect time to sneak on stage.

   "We need to go, now," Kris whispered. Ralsei and Kris crawled through the shadows and avoided the sight of the zombies and Jevil. They reached the first set of audience seats that were covered in blood and lined with tinsel.

   "You can go first, and I'll stay behind you."

   "Just stay careful, and don't get shot. K?"

   "Aye-aye, captain!"

   They continued to crawl around the seats and remained absolutely silent while Jevil and Asgore were continued arguing. Jevil lectured Asgore about how dumb he was, while Asgore let out muffled screams through his thick, black, tape.

  "You're an idiot, Asgore," Jevil scoffed. "No wonder Tori left you, you just can't seem to understand how superior I am to you!"

  Asgore wasn't paying any attention to Jevil, in fact, he was glancing towards Kris and Ralsei. He tried to keep himself calm and collected so Jevil wouldn't know. However, despite his efforts, Jevil began to laugh.

  "Such a shame your little precious children had to be brought into this!" Jevil strolled to the back of the stage and flipped a lever. A bright spotlight revealed Kris and Ralsei, stopping them dead in their tracks.

  "How the hell have you not died yet?" Jevil asked. Kris side-eyed an incoming zombie. He stabbed it with then of his weapon, killing it.

  "Could ask you the same thing," Kris argued. He stepped out of the shadows and into the light. "This is disgusting, even for your standards!"

  "What's disgusting is how your generation hasn't ceased to exist yet!" Jevil marveled. He strolled back over to Asgore, setting his hand on his shoulder. "But none the less, you'll die just like the others did!"

  Ralsei stepped into the light next, with a distraught expression across his face.

  "What do you mean 'just like the others did'?"

  "Why do you think you haven't met your other three friends?" Jevil asked. Ralsei shook uncontrollably, his eyes welled up, and he gasped. 

  "No...they can't be dead! We were just with them!" Ralsei cried out. Kris glared at Jevil menacingly, but Jevil didn't give a care in the world. He smiled and chuckled and shoved Asgore to the ground.

 "You're a coward, Jevil. You're an attention-seeking coward!" 

  "Says a lot coming from the child who's run from all their problems their whole life!" Jevil snapped back. Kris took a step forward and gripped onto his weapon, as did Ralsei. "If you really want to go, then go for it! Give us a show, Kris! Go on!"

  "You got this Kris...I got your back with whatever you do next."

  Kris pulled his hair away from his face, revealing beautiful red eyes. He took one last breath and looked up to the spotlight.

                               "It's been said the world's a stage."

                              "And everyone must play their part."

                       "Well if that's true I'll act, with all my heart!"

            Kris bashed his weapon against another incoming zombie.

                        This only attracted more zombies, though.

                                      "I'll take my cue, to go."

                               "Stand in the spotlight's glow!"

                 Ralsei took out his baseball bat and smiled at him.

                                           Kris smiled back.

                              "And give them, one hell of a..."

              Kris cracked his kneck and whacked another zombie.

                                          "SHOOOOOOW!"

   Asgore smiled and laughed, watching his son beat them to pieces.

     "There are some things in life, that you just can't control!"

       Kris did a pirouette and knocked another zombie down

          "But I'm ready to fight, I was born for this role!"

                  "I'll do all I can before I go to my grave!"

                        Kris pointed his candy cane at Jevil

     "There's good on this earth and it's worth trying to save!"

     "Well Mr. Dreemur, you're so wrong, you don't have a clue!"

             Jevil grabbed a long, and thick, strand of tinsel.

                  "A purge on this species is long overdue!"

          He flung it around his neck and wore it like a scarf

                 "All humanity is broken, our story is done!"

             Kris and Ralsei continued to kill more zombies.

         "As the set catches fire, might as well have some fun!"

           Kris leaped over a zombie reaching for his knee's.

      Jevil ran to the back of the stage, flipping the lever down.

                "SO RAISE THAT CURTAIN! HIT THE LIGHTS!"

Kris placed his feet on an armrest, then jumped over the attackers.

               "STRIKE UP THE BAND, FOR THE FINAL NIGHT!"

                Ralsei jumped over the audience seats after him.

                             "AND IF IT IS MY TIME TO GO!"

                   Kris stabbed a zombie's head once more.

                    "I WILL GIVE THEM ONE HELL OF A SHOW!"

        Jevil hit the lever again and ran to the front of the stage.

           The spotlight shone on Kris and another on Ralsei.

                              "You're a silly weak girl!"

                          Ralsei pointed his bat at Jevil. 

                                 "You're a madman!"

                                       Jevil laughed.

         "Guess the truth can be hard to hear sometimes!"

          Ralsei protected Kris from a couple more zombies.

                       Kris pointed his weapon at Jevil.

       "You've been losing your mind and it's sad, man!"

           "No, I've finally seen where I once was lined!"

                  "And I have never felt so much bliss!"

Kris karate kicked a zombie down, it hit its head on an armrest.

                "Oh, how can you take pleasure in this?"

   Jevil stood behind Asgore, setting his foot on his back.

                 "It's been said the world's a stage..."

                "And everyone must play their part..."

               Jevil leaped into the air, over Asgore.

                          "If that's true I'll act!"

             Jevil raised his right hand into the air. 

                        In it was a zombie's head.

                            "With all my heart!"

                 Kris reached the front of the stage.

  Jevil looked down at him, and Kris looked up at him.

                        "I'll take my cue, to go!"

                  "Stand in the spotlight's glow!"

                              "And give them!"

        Kris looked back at Ralsei; they both nodded.

                          "One hell of a show!"

       Jevil ran to the back again, laughing like a maniac.

                        "RAISE THE CURTAINS!"

   Jevil pulled down a rope, and the curtains opened up.

                            "HIT THE LIGHTS!"

  Jevil flipped the lever once more, and the light went out.

       "STRIKE UP THE BAND FOR THE FINAL NIGHT!"

 Asgore continued to rip out of his lights, feeling frantic.

     Ralsei continued killing more zombies with his bat.

                     "AND IF IT IS MY TIME TO GO!"    

              "I WON'T WASTE A MOMENT, I KNOW!"

      Ralsei jumped into the aisle and ran towards the stage.

         "I WILL GIVE THEM! ONE HELL OF A SHOOOOW!"

                Jevil ran back to the front of the stage.

                    "ONE HELL OF A SHOOOOW!"

             Kris tried grabbing Jevil's foot but failed.

        "ONE HELL OF A SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

       Kris put his hands on his head. Jevil just laughed.

        Ralsei got onto an armrest and leaped into the air.

    He landed on Kris's hands and propelled himself at Jevil.

   He knocked him down on the stage, keeping him there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

   "You get your dad, I'll stop Jevil!" 

   "K!" Kris replied. He grabbed the edge of the stage and pushed himself up with all his upper body strength; he got up just as the zombies advanced to the front again. He proceeded to untie his dad and let him stand up, while Ralsei wrestled with Jevil. 

   "You ok, dad?"

   "I'm fine, Kris! You should be worrying about yourself!"

   "I missed you so much!" Kris cried. Asgore rubbed his back and cried with him. 

   "I missed you, too."

   "STEP BACK!" 

   Click!

   Jevil pulled out his gun and placed it on Ralsei's neck. Ralsei widened his eyes and stared at it, not doing anything.

  "I SAID STEP BACK!" Jevil ordered. Ralsei, with no options, got off of him and walked back to the others. When Jevil stood up, he pointed the gun at Kris first, forcing all of them to raise their hands to the sky.

  "I have to say, for a freak like you, you're impressive! You managed to stall this whole process and save your friends from danger!" Jevil took a step forward, avoiding the grasp of the crowd. "It's so sad that this had to happen! You could have just run away and left! So sad indeed!"

  "I stand by every word I said. You were never anything but a coward!" Kris hissed. "You're going to die, Jevil. Karma is going to take your life as you did with the others!"

  Kris glanced down at his weapon, a plan forming in his brain, then looked back up at Jevil. There was nothing but revenge and flames of hell in his eyes. 

 "How about this, why don't we play a game?" Jevil grabbed Ralsei and pulled him to his chest. He set the gun at Ralsei's head and kept him in a neck lock. 

  "You choose, your dad or your sweet little friend. And don't think I won't hesitate!"

  Ralsei looked at Kris, and Kris looked at him. Ralsei whimpered and cried, but Kris looked calm and collected. Almost like he had anticipated this, but honestly, this usually happens in every horror movie. However, Kris had a plan, unlike all the other fools. He inched his foot back and kept both his eyes locked on Ralsei. When he was close enough, he clenched his fist and smiled.

  "RALSEI JUMP!" Kris shouted. He set his foot behind his candy cane and slammed it as hard as he could across the stage. Ralsei did as instructed, and so the weapon hit Jevil's foot like a hockey puck.

  Jevil had little time to react, and instantly his guard went down. Ralsei got out of the neck lock, and all Jevil saw was Kris running toward him.

  He knew that Kris would kill him and that it would all be over. Even if he shot him, he would still fall off the stage and into the zombies that waited below. He knew this, and so he also realized that if he were to go. He was to go with leaving the most damage. 

 So he shot his gun, the bullet flew over Kris's shoulder, to the two in the back. Kris didn't realize it, so he kept running. He crashed into his torso and pushed him as hard as he could.

 Jevil fell, right off the stage and into the zombies. They grabbed him and pulled him down, biting into his shirt, skin, and head. Jevil just laughed and laughed, and screamed with joy.

 "THEY LOVE ME! THEY LOVE ME!" he screamed. Before a second was up, Jevil was devoured and gone. So as far as Kris knew, he had done it. He had saved his dad and Ralsei and had killed him, all in one push.

 "WE DID IT! WE DID IT! DAD, WE DID--"

 When he turned around he saw his dad, with a gunshot wound to the head, on the ground. Blood oozed out, and Ralsei was shaking with fear, trauma, and more tears. He was too slow, and a zombie grabbed his head and slid him silently off the stage.

 Kris and Ralsei looked up at each other, then looked down at the crowd of zombies that prevented them from leaving the stage. They were trapped, no way off.

 And they had lost another soul...
