The battle was already settled when Foolish managed to mortally injure the void with his sword. Containing all the magics, including light, to which he was very vulnerable, he didn't have much time left to live.

As he was laying with his back against the temple wall when Foolish pointed his sword at him "It's over void, do you have any last words?" the void smirked "If i'm going down..." he placed his hand on the wall, a dark flame soon starting to spread over it "Then i shall at least take them down with me"

Foolish growled, sinking his sword right in his heart, making him disappear into a thick cloud of black smoke. Even though he was his enemy, they still grew together, raised by the same master, he was like a brother to him.

But there wasn't time to mourn now, he needed to get everyone that was inside the temple out before-

Crash.

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

"What was that?" Bad asked, starting to hear some cracking sounds echo throughout the empty halls "Don't worry about it, Skeppy how much longer? I can't keep him asleep forever" Abby grunted, starting to run out of magic.

"I'm almost done, juuuust... there!" he cut free the last vine, Eret's soul was now no longer under the void's control "You can put it back now" Ranboo nodded, shakily placing the soul back in his father's body.

"I doubt he will wake up any time soon, but at least we did it lads" Abby said in a cheery voice, but a loud crack alerted them all, especially when they saw a large piece of wood fall from the ceiling and towards them.

Bad and Angela reacted quickly, raising a barrier, blocking it and protecting everyone. It was only then that they noticed the dark flames that were eating the structure from the inside out.

"We need to leave! NOW!" Philza grabbed Eret, while Skeppy helped Abby up, all of them slowly making their way towards the exit, they couldn't run, for Bad and Angela wouldn't be able to keep the barrier up in that case, so they walked at a fast pace, Techno sticking close to Angela.

"I don't like this, i really, really don't like this. Those flames aren't normal" Abby muttered, her eyes darting left and right, clearly scared "Don't worry, as long as we keep the barrier up they shouldn't be able to hurt us" Bad assured, they were almost at the exit when a piece of wood on fire fell right on top of said barrier, it's flame starting to spread across it.

"Ah!" both Angela and Bad dropped the barrier at the same time, stepping back and holding their wrist painfully "That hurt?! How?!"

"It's not important now! Come on!!" the group started running towards the entrance as fast as they could, seeing the structure above it was barely holding together.

"We are almost out!" Techno cheered, it was then that the vault gave in, starting to fall on them. Most of the group was out, leaving only Angela and Techno behind.

"We aren't going to make it!" he warned, slowing down, but Angela dashed forward, dragging him along "Yes we are!" he was right though, they weren't going to make it, not without getting hit.

So right when the debris were about to hit them, she raised her wings, gaining a physical form and protecting them both long enough to made it out, panting exhausted.

"We did it..." he breathed out, a smile forming on his lips, but it soon fell when he turned to see Angela's wings were being eaten by that dark flame "Angela!" he was about to go help her put them out when he got blocked by a sand statue.

"Wha-!?" he then noticed Foolish was running towards them, sword in hand "Let me go!" he demanded angrily, and he obliged, but not before he cut off her wings with one swell swing, making her scream.

"NO!!" he rushed to her aid, holding her close in his arms, seeing her tremble in pain "Why!? Why did you do it?! She helped you! She helped all of us!!" he shouted, tears forming in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, that kind of flame cannot be extinguished, she would have burned to death if i hadn't cut off the limbs that were on fire" he kneeled down, placing a hand on her shoulder, catching her attention "But that doesn't mean she deserve to remain flightless" he smiled, letting some of his power flow in her, causing two large branches to appear on her back, soon sprouting into leafy wings, some blue flowers blooming in them as well.

She gasped, looking at her new wings, which were now covered in flowers of Veronica Persica.

"I cannot bring you back to life until you've fulfilled your regret" he started "But i can at least give you back your wings" he said with a kind smile. She hugged him, catching the golden God off guard "Thank you..." she mumbled, a few tears escaping her eyes, he soon recomposed himself, patting her back "No... thank you..."

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

After a few minutes everyone started gathering around Eret, Foolish woke him up and they were all very tense about how he would react, especially Ranboo.

"Wha..." he sat up "Where am i? What happened?" he asked, not recognizing this place, his eyes landing on a familiar face "Bad?" he smiled, hugging his friend "I missed you Eret, don't scare me like that ever again you muffin!" he scolded lightly, which only confused him even more.

"What is happening? The last thing i remember was that i was running away with my son and then.... everything became dark... did i die? Is this hell.... or heaven?" Bad chuckled, releasing him from the hug, drying his tears "No, you are not dead, this is the overworld, we defeated the void, you are free now"

They talked for a few minutes, filling him in on the most recent events, during the whole time Ranboo had been hiding behind Angela, shaking like crazy.

"Scared?" he nodded "W-will he e-even remember m-m-me?" he mumbled, making her chuckle lightly, she offered him her hand "Let's find out" he hesitantly took it, the two of them walking up behind him.

She patted his shoulder and as he turned, Ranboo hid again behind her wings "Hi Eret, you probably don't know me, but i have a very important question for you" he was a little taken aback by her statement "Ok?"

"Do you want to meet your son?" his eyes widened "HE'S ALIVE?! WHERE IS HE?!" he tried to stand up but fell back down, being still very weak due to the long period of time passed under the void's control.

"He's safe don't worry" she looked behind her wing, gently tugging his hand, encouraging him to come out "I'm scared" be whispered "Don't be, he's your dad, come on" he slowly took a few small steps forward, partially showing himself to him.

"U-uhm... h-hi" he mumbled, Eret didn't say anything, a large smile formed on his face and tears started to fall from his eyes "Ranboo? Is... is it really you" he reached out with his hand, Ranboo looked at Angela insecurely, receiving a nod.

He let go of her hand, walking closer and taking his's. Eret let out a breath he didn't know was holding "You're alive... you're ok" he pulled him down into a tight embrace, holding his head close to his chest "I'm sorry, i never wanted to leave you all alone. I love you, i promise i'll never leave you ever again" he buried his face in his shoulder "My son"

The dam in Ranboo's eyes finally broke and he allowed all his pent up emotions to flow freely, crying with his father. They were together, at long last, father and son had been reunited.

Techno placed a hand on her shoulder "I think we should give them some time alone" she nodded, walking away with him, soon getting stopped by Foolish.

"I can't bring you back now..." he smiled "But once you've fulfilled your regret, come back to me and i shall grant you another wish"

"Why? You told me everyone only get's one, and you don't grant them every time" the God chuckled "You've proven yourself multiple times to be worth of a second chance. You were able to forgive those who hurt you. Help those in pain. Save innocent in danger. Reunite families" he smiled "You more than anyone deserve a second chance to live, so come back to me once your regret is fulfilled, alright?" she smiled back, nodding "Thank you Foolish"

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

Angela and Techno decided to take a walk around the city to clear their thoughts a bit, he was very happy to hear that she could be revived, now they just needed to find out what her regret was.

"Techno?" she called, bringing him back to reality "You've been awfully quiet, is everything ok?" she asked, he smiled, leaning down to place a gentile kiss on her lips "It is now" she chuckled "What is that supposed to mean?" they kept talking for several hours, walking until the sun began to set, that's when they decided to head back towards the temple to reunite with the others.

That's when someone who was in a hurry bumped into Techno, causing him to fall.

"Ouch" the other person quickly stood up "I'm sorry, i'm in a hurry and wasn't looking where i was going" he quickly helped Techno up, soon resuming his run towards the temple, Angela managed to hear him mumble something.

"Mierda" her eyes widened and she started to chase after him "Wait!" she called, as the man turned a corner, disappearing from her sight, she followed him through the narrow alley, managing to lose Techno in the meantime.

But after a few minutes of chasing, the man surprised her, turning back and pointing an axe at her "What do you want? Why are you chasing me?" he asked in an angry tone "If you are trying to rob me then i suggest you scram, i won't be lenient just because you're a woman" he warned.

"N-no i d-don't want to rob yo-"

"Then what do you want?! I don't have time to waste so just spit it out!" he angrily demanded.

"Y-you..." she mumbled, lowering her gaze to the ground "Y-you look... familiar... do... do i know you?" she asked, earning a scoff from him "I'm a guard around the temple, you've probably seen me around, i'm heading there now, since i was told something happened" he put away his axe "Now if that's all, i'll leave, you've already wasted enough of my time"

"W-wai-"

"Angela!" the man froze upon hearing that name being called by a distant voice, Techno was looking for her, and judging by the tone of his voice, he was quite desperate "Angela! Where are you?!"

"Techno..." she mumbled, knowing that she shouldn't make him worry like that, maybe she heard wrong, maybe he wasn't who she thought he was. She turned away, starting to head back towards the main road to rejoin him.

"Angela?" the man repeated, his voice barely above a whisper, but she still managed to hear it, turning around to see him look at her with a shocked expression "Is... that your name?" he asked, she shakily nodded. There was a moment of silence.

"Those wings... what... who are you?" she cringed a bit at the question "I-i'm... a ghost.... but i was an Elythrian before... a white Elythrian..." she answered, making him gasp.

"It can't be..." he mumbled "Mi dulce pastel?" she flinched, a memory flashing in front of her eyes.

'Don't ever scare us like that! Your mother and i almost had an heart attack mi dulce pastel!'

"D..." she lifted her gaze, noticing that now he was standing right in front of her "Dad?" now that he was closer she could clearly see the same scar that her father had on his face, she shakily reached out to touch it, tracing it with her fingers, she also noticed that he seemed to have some new ones.

"Mom always told you to be more careful with your wounds" she mumbled, the man chuckled lightly, placing his hand over hers "It's really you" he went in to hug her, surprisingly managing to take a hold of her.

"It's... i... i'm sorry... they... i couldn't..." he hushed her, gently caressing her hair "Shhh, it's ok, i'm here now, everything will be alright, i promise. I won't let anyone hurt you ever again" he assured in a soft voice, his eyes starting to water, she nuzzled her face in his shirt, even though he didn't smell of trees and sap anymore, she enjoyed the warm and safe aura he emanated.

"Angela!" Techno shouted upon finally finding her, running up to them, sword in hand, which caused Quackity to get defensive. He drew his axe, placing himself in front of his daughter "Who are you? What do you want from my daughter?!" he shouted.

"Daughter?" Angela peeked out from behind him, making Quackity lower his weapon "Techno!" she said in an exited voice, running up to him, taking his hands "Techno i found him! He's my dad! He's alive!" she said with a large smile, both men looking at each other with a confused look.

"Wait... you mean he's..." she nodded "Oh... i see" he cleared his throat, placing away his sword "I-i'm sorry for the way we met, i'm Technoblade, king of the Antarctic empire and uhm...." he blushed a bit, Angela hugged his arm "My fiancee"

"WHAT?!"
