*The Knight stands before the final fountain.* *You mock the Knight about being weak.* Knight: Hero! Do you not know who I am? Kneel down and sacrifice yourself to the titans! *The Knights ATTACK increased!* Susie: Kris..! Susie: Why would you make him mad...?! Knight: I shall summon the overlords once more, and Darkners and Lightners shall all feel what they've endured! Knight: But the question is... Knight: Is it all true? Knight: Can the so-called heroes save the world? Knight: Or shall the world tear open with fear? **ATTACK ONE** *The stars twinkle in the sky above.* Knight: I've watched you three from the stars... Knight: I must admit, your hope amazes me. Your will to move on no matter the cause, or consequence. Knight: But it'll only be your downfall this time! Susie: Alrighty, you wanna see what we can do? Susie: (Kris, think of something!) **ATTACK 2** Ralsei: Kris! I've fought the Knight before! Ralsei: I need to pacify him with a powerful spell... Ralsei: ... *You should let Ralsei charge up his spell.* *The Knight glares at you with immense despair.* Knight: Ralsei? Are you trying to charge up your little spell? Knight: How cute... Susie: Hey! You can't just... Knight: I play by my own roles, I am the Knight! Susie: I'll show what it means to be a Knight! Susie: Kris, good luck. But I gotta charge. **ATTACK 3** *The Knight laughs as both Susie and Ralsei stand down.* Knight: Do you really think they care? Knight: Do you really think they ever... cared? Knight: Feel what it means to be left to fight alone! **ATTACK 4** *Susie is charging up some kind of spell...* Knight: Isn't this fun, dark bringer? Knight: You also rose the fountains, allowing them to create the worlds you seal back. **ATTACK 5** **The fountain roars, the darkness roars.** Knight: Do you hear it? It's the fountains roar. Knight: It roars, it grows, and most of all... Knight: It spreads! Susie: Kris... The light world... Susie: You can do this! **ATTACK 6** **You think about the past friends you've made.** Knight: Do you really think you can defeat a forbidden warrior? Knight: I fight for the overlords, I fight for the roaring! **ATTACK 7** Susie: Hey Knight! Knight: What is it, so called hero? Susie: Knighty Knight! Knight: Wha- Knight: No... Knight: Overlords... Forgive my failure... Knight: For it has appeared... Susie: "It"? Susie: Let's not worry about that. Susie: Ralsei? Ralsei: ... Ralsei: Susie! Kris! Ralsei: Did you defeat him? Susie: Yep! All it took was that spell you taught me! Ralsei: See Susie? Learning is very important, it could even save your life! Susie: Eh... Guess your right... Susie: I'll try to learn more often. Ralsei: You should go seal the fountain before it grows too large... Susie: Oh. Susie: Well bye Ralsei! Ralsei: Come to the school closet Kris and Susie! Bye! Susie: We've made it far... Haven't we? Susie: It might even be over... Susie: We stopped the Knight, and we even sealed all the fountains. Susie: I've changed from just a scary monster, I've learned a lot from just a week! Susie: Let's finish this Kris! Susie: Let's save the world... Susie: Together. *dramatic fountain scene* I will add more to this, like more fight dialogue, but it's 2:00 AM for me.

Oh my god ! That cool . Thank you for comment

[@cysmic8112]

I don't think I can edit this because it was pinned, but it was fun to make this! The Knight would most likely take 15 - 25 hits to defeat. Out of kindness or out of will to be stronger.

[@apollyonnoctis1291]

I like to imagine this "it", is actually the dangerous "Angel" that threatens this world.

Both of them are experienced in baking, so it wouldn't be an easy fight. Would they both have to use cauldrons?

[@Hazgoblin]

honestly amazing rendition of this song, sounds like an authentic final boss track for this game (or at least semi-final boss, who knows what kind of tricks this game will pull)

[@psychopomp4135]

Semi-final boss is what I think will most likely happen. If one subscribes to Chess Theory, then it seems as though we’re finally going to confront and defeat the Knight by the end of Chapter 5. This would provide a good sense of finality to the release of Chapters 3-5. However, we now know that Kris is able and willing to create Dark Fountains of their own, and this it’s likely that they might resume doing this in secret in order to perpetuate their adventures indefinitely. However, in their impulsiveness and desperation, they will inevitably end up being about the Roaring by Chapter 7.

[@Hazgoblin]

@@psychopomp4135 I personally think we will have the knight as an antagonist in chapter 5, and at the end we will fight him, but we don't unmask him and he escapes. Chapter 6 will be when the knight's identity is actually revealed, and he will become an ally who assists us against greater threats like the titans and the angel in chapter 7

[@sanscan7591]

These are too predictable there's gotta be more to come from the next chapter coming out

[@stitch_doll]

This is probably the best rendition I've heard of this

[@jackatk]

I’ve been waiting for a good remix of this song- not only is this amazing, but it’s also one of the *ONLY* Deltarune fan-songs I’ve heard that doesn’t just throw in a bunch of leitmotifs in an attempt to sound good. Every fan song these days is oversaturated with motifs from Don’t Forget, The World Revolving, and Big Shot, but this song is so original- even for a remix. It’s so well done, I love it!

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

Well, with Don't Forget, it makes sense because almost every song in Chapter One is a remix of Don't Forget.

[@jackatk]

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 I know, but in the fan songs it always sounds shoehorned in, like it never belongs in the song, and like they just shoved in another section to check off the ‘Don’t forget motif’ box

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

@@jackatk Understandable. Like, with songs like Hopes and Dreams, it's a compilation of different themes, but they're all remixed into new motifs. Fan tracks don't often have that original quality that Toby's music has.

[@voidomega4211]

This song isn’t exactly a deltarune fan song

@@voidomega4211 Check the first word of the title bro (I know it’s a remake of a cucumber quest song, but it’s mostly original)

Man this makes me miss Cucumber quest

[@sthellarvalkyrie]

Oh my god, i never could imagine that! The Knight is a Pokémon Trainer! Jokes aside, the theme is really good, but i genuinely had some giggles at some points what really looked a bit like a Pokémon Boss theme.

[@mikedude2724]

awesome af music

[@mrvideo6703]

Thank :]

[@stormchaser465]

This sounds more like a KH boss theme than something from a Toby Fox game. It's missing that "pozzaz" that his music always sneaks in.

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

This is basically ripped from "Nightmare Knight's" soundfront, a song that Toby Fox made. Granted, it was a lot earlier than Undertale and Deltarune, but this is 100 percent something that Toby would make.

[@jackeroni216]

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 you mean the kirby's dream land 3 soundfont? he didnt make the soundfont, he just used it in a previous track.

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

@@jackeroni216 I mean the actual soundtrack, not the soundfront, the point being that Toby has, and still continues to, make songs in this vein.

[@stormchaser465]

@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 It's not about the soundfont, it's about how the soundfont is used within the composition itself. If you sincerely think that a soundfont is the only thing that makes a song "Toby Fox-like," you've got a shallow comprehension of music

[@MidoseitoAkage]

Now you've mention it. I imagine the SFX from KH along with Sora, Goofy and Donald, shouting every second.

[@elekunt]

I get Mario and Luigi vibes at some parts of the song, like this part 0:45

[@dustpanman2998]

This guy would absolutely do the same thing that Toriel does when your hp gets low.

[@aVeryUnoriginalPun]

this is a bop dang- sounds kinda kirby-ish to me at some points, am i alone on this?

[@user-wp8yg8ju9y]

That's because the original theme of Nightmare Knight by Toby Fox was made with instruments from Kirby's Dreamland 3.

[@aVeryUnoriginalPun]

@@user-wp8yg8ju9y ooh, that makes sense. thank you!

[@Spamshoter29JeR]

also it has leitmotives from grassland of dreamland 3

[@Cool_Kid95]

More like too Pokemon gen 5

[@ThatGuy-tc6uv]

1:59 definitely came from Heart of Nova.

[@Goat_dood2]

I always think the knight would look like this

[@kyu4903]

Ngl, it would be even better if at around 1:09 it went into the freedom motif

this gives me vs arceus vibes from pokemon diamond

[@realjaspe]

so... deltarune is canon in cucumber quest?

[@mrvideo6703]

Secret ;]

[@cybercider6620]

I mean: Ancient legend with a secret “Legendary heroes” that are just normal kids Smart Prince(ss) as their sidekick 7 powerful enemies connected to special stones/crystals Foreboding and mysterious Knight as the main villain High likelyhood of sparing the Knight in the end Themes of inescapable fate and things happening no matter what Queen is literally just The Oracle Yeah, that seems about right
