Deltarune Concept OC - Zad Keel [Flower King DW Colors]
Just a simple Deltarune Conceptual OC i conjured up while trying to juggle 5 other pics to do TwT
Zad Keel Lore (Made Before Chapter 5 releases)
||Zad Keel's shtick is that he's Asgore's Officer Badge, back when The Dreemurr family was together Zad Keel and a past Ralsei (lightworld counterpart is a band-aid) that were like Deputy and Sherrif (or bfs) on this cowboy puppet show. One Night, the divorce occured and when Ralsei tried to jump the divide he fell into the depths (trash can) as Zad Keel panicked over his new home (The Flower King Dark World as a form of Asgore escapism) without Ralsei. Meanwhile a mysterious man reincarnated the Goatlike Darkner in Castle Town (Kris's currently equipped band aid) as he has use in the prophecy.
When the Fun Gang arrive in the Chapter 5 Dark World, Zad Keel saves Ralsei from some tough enemies when he's all alone - The two bond a bit as when they go to Zad Keel's Cabin right before Ralsei leaves he requests to follow a case involving chasing down reports of the Knight in a dungeon below Asgore's castle in the Dark World. Of course he describes the place as being very dark so he requests for Ralsei to bring a light, Which will allow the Soul to guide ralsei without fully controlling him.
When they arrive at the entrance of the Catacombs, Ralsei would request to go ahead without Kris and Susie (much like in Chapter 4 when he had to get rid of any Last Prophecy stuff) and Susie obliges. Ralsei does inform that the cave is very dark, so Kris lets Ralsei borrow their Soul like a lantern. When Ralsei walks into the dark catacombs, he meets up with Zad Keel who was there already - excited to explore the area to find and arrest this dark figure he assumes is the knight. Ralsei and Zad Keel would occasionally talk about how long it has been and reminiss on the good ol' days back in the old TV world and how happy Tenna was, of course Ralsei does not remember these events but appreciates Zad Keel's appreciation of him. Eventually Zad Keel sees a dark figure zoom by gives chase ahead of Ralsei. Before a slope there is a save point right beforehand.||
||When Ralsei checks on the excited Zad Keel, he claims the dark figure he tied up with his purple rope is the knight. When he tries to unmask him in front of the cautious Ralsei, the body morphs like a slime before eventually revealing the pink and yellow eyes and large smile.
This was not The Knight but rather a rare Darkner from the Shelter World (as the Mantle game from Chapter 3 hints that these things are common there in the Eram fight). The Friend slips out of the ropes and laughs before consuming the Sherrif and dragging him into the ground. Ralsei calls out for him and is afraid of what happened to his old bf, and with the Soul zooming back to the entrance - Ralsei is left in the dark afraid and alone. Suddenly the voice of Zad Keel calls out to comfort that things will be alright as his textbox portrait distorts into a broken smile with sunken in eyes.
Ralsei is grabbed immeadiately by a large shadowy hand hidden in the dark, with Ralsei alone and in danger Zad Keel lets out a phrase that really echoes in Ralsei: "Y'know, Lightner love Darkners that they can find!" And before Ralsei is obliterated by the shadowy figure's strong attack, A Red Buster is used offscreen to knock away the giant into the dark. Kris and Susie arrive as she says that they had an off feeling and had to run in there.
Susie is ready to start the battle so when the camera pans to the right to prepare for the fight, nobody is there...
A few turns past of checking the surrounding, but after a while of looking ralsei points out he's right below them. Zad Keel rips opens the textbox below breaking it as kris and Susie are knocked out of battle unconscious disengaging from battle for a bit, with the Shadowy Zad Keel using some globs to hover them just out of sight above - this is Ralsei's fight to prove he can stand on his own, with everyone taken by this shadowy being including his sweetheart - he is alone. but unlike Chapter 1 he's more confident.||
||The events of Chapter 4 helped him realize he can stand on his own and unlocked the move "DarksLight" which is like False Swipe with a temporary damage reducer but costs TP to use.
Zad Keel informs that he heard Lightners are mean and abusive much like what the spiders says in Undertale before fighting Muffet. and when he mentions the last claim, his distorted figure is revealed from the dark akin to Photoshop Flowey - even letting off a loud intimidating laugh before beginning the fight. The fight uses an enhanced version of Purple Mode with a horizontal dash with a 3 second cooldown to help get through breakable attacks along with I-frames while doing so.
There are two ways to beat Omega Zad Keel, either by reducing his HP to zero with DarksLight and the basic attack (regular attack only does one damage to Omega Zad Keel) like with the demo fights, or by using "Spare" all the time so Zad Keel can rip out the friend himself.
At the end of the fight with Kris and susie free, the now purified Zad Keel is already half petrified due to the amount of energy FRIEND exherted out of him. Zad Keel apologizes for everything and Ralsei and Zad Keel have one last kiss before Zad Keel is fully petrified, with the "recruited" ui finally popping up on him - meaning he can finally arrive in castle town.
After this scene it cuts to Zad Keel's shack where they look around, Ralsei finds a heartfelt note from Zad Keel that includes the well polished Shadow Crystal and an item called the "Deputy Scarf" the best scarf for Ralsei alongside Kris's Black Shard and Susie's Justice Axe that has a passive health regeneration benefit.
There are also VHSs akin to the ones in True Lab which retell the events prior that caused thier seperation where Ralsei realizes his past and re-unlocks a special passive - the ability to occassionaly survive an attack with 1 HP.
Thus ends Zad Keel's arc in Chapter 5 as you progress through it normally...||
||When you arrive to Castle town in Chapter 5 after sealing Asgore's Dark Fountain, in the light world Susie will point out to Asgore as Kris gets stuff to take to Castle Town if they want to take the Officer's badge (if you have beaten Zad Keel), he obliges as he realizes he's never coming back there anyways.
When you arrive to the Dark World, Susie points out to Ralsei they have "him" with us - Ralsei knows who and will say to wait until they get to his Room to let him out of the pocket to take form. this allow the player to go around and socialize with the other darkners beforehand and get the funny dialog and such.
When you arrive to Ralsei's room the cutscene immeadiately plays where they finally let him out of Kris's pocket, Zad Keel takes form now with his colored design. He relaizes his color is back and he is no longer stone, zad Keel immeadiately breaks the tension and points out Ralsei room needs refurbishing. Happy that Zad Keel is normal again, Ralsei embraces the cowboy and cries in his arms. He points out that he's gonna refurbish the room and need the three to leave to do so, Susie and Ralsei oblige but as Kris is about to - Zad Keel quietly stops them if they have a moment. Zad Keel admit he has seen lots of memories and events in the Shadow Crystal they had just obtained, including things that have happened in the light world when he was on Asgore. When he asks if you want to hear it all (with a warning that its all long) Zad Keel tells everything that he has saw.||
||"The Shadow Crystal showed that I was a simple thing really, I was an officer's badge.
Me and that Asgore fella apprehended so many baddies that you can lose count.
One night after he had to deal with some sort of pipe damage, he was drinking alot.
The old goat tried to drive home to apologize for his behavior around his wife, but he was still so angry and saw this deer on the side of the road and..."
"Normally this is where it could be like a normal deer and he gets to move on, but he saw there was no blood on impact like any other deer. He immediately feared the worst and... it was the worst..."
"He took the body that was there and threw it into an old bunker of sorts after walking through the forest... poor kid never saw it comin'... What would he tell her family?"
"When an investigation was called with us, he got rid of any evidence when they weren't looking. The case went cold as he was burdened with so much guilt, didn't help when trying to talk with his wife and... I never saw my Sweet Razzy ever again..."
"Eventually when i woke up, I was in that New Dark World in the Flower Shop you guys were just in that Asgore made. I was approached by the Knight and when i was trying to make a lick of sense, they took off their helmet and wept. What i saw was brief and yet mortifying, they flew off after putting on their helmet and left one of those crystals for me - kind of like a cookie crumb."
"I wanted to forget it all with my usual act, I wanted to forget that night. But much like that tall figure's fate... it refused."
"So that's all i got hehehe! If you want to hear it all again i wrote it all down on my journal.
...Just keep it between you and me alright?"
"Now get on out so i can refurbish my sweetie and I's room."
After regrouping with Susie and Ralsei, Zad Keel reveals the room when you re-enter with several funny furniture and such to check that informs Ralsei and Zad Keels's personality and relationship.||
