Prologue: A Grimm Tale
It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming. Although not everyone in the timeline is as positive as the weather. A fight that's gone on for too long in the underground is reaching it's final moments. Frisk someone who has gone through many resets all for the sole purpose of setting the world right, has gone through many tough journeys. With the help of W.D. Gaster, a royal scientist for the King Asgore, and Sans, another of the Royal Scientists, managed to figure out how Frisk can use her determination to it's fullest extent, allowing her to ultimately compose the "Perfect Ending."
The first time Frisk met the two scientists it wasn't exactly the most pleasant of terms. The two immediately picked up the disturbance in the timelines the second Frisk did her first reset. The two scientists confronted Frisk and asked her to come with them. She openly agreed despite the frightening persona the two put on, which surprised Gaster to say the least. Sans on the other hand didn't seem to care either way. After running some tests on the girl, they managed to figure out the general aspects of the resets, and how to see the timelines that are caused by the resets. During their time together, Sans and Frisk had formed a genuine bond together. Sans had never wanted to befriend the human, but she rubbed off on him, genuinely laughing at his puns despite the cruelty towards her at first... Sans once made a joke that he hoped would show how "threatening" he could be.
"hey kid, honestly if it was up to me, you'd be dead where you stand. but then there would be one to many skeletons." It was dead quiet for a few seconds but then Frisk laughed and signed.
*Stop, stop you're killing me. Her response surprised Sans. Did the kid not realize he can't stand her?
"heh heh, I hope you don't die from laughter kid." From that day forward Sans started to treat the human with some more respect than he thought he ever would. Eventually Sans started to treat the kid like his own daughter, even going up against Gaster in certain scenarios. In fact if it wasn't for Sans, Frisk may have never gotten as far as she did.
"we should use her Gaster, we can remember most of the events of each reset, we can send the kid back, to see if she can convince the king to break the barrier." Gaster's expression was unchanged from normal. "come on, we can analyze from afar, if the kid can get through the barrier, good for her, if things go wrong, we can step in and take the kid out with no consequence. and the king only needs one more soul anyway, the kings kills the kid takes the soul hooray." Gaster looks up at Sans with disbelief. "yeah the kid could reset couldn't she? hehe guess i hadn't thought about that." Gaster made a face saying "You definitely thought about that." Gaster sighed and responded.
"Fine, we'll test out your theory of yours." The two then managed to build a machine, one that allowed the two to shift into another dimension with their memories intact even with a timeline reset, and also with the ability to observe the girl. The two took enough notes to if just in case failed, they would be able to continue where they'd left off. Once completed the machine, it was time to test it. The two activated the machine and told Frisk to reset. Frisk looked around at Gaster and then Sans with a nervous look on his face. Sans looked down at Frisk and said.
"don't worry baby bones, i'm not gonna forget ya." Sans patted Frisk's head and she smiled and nodded. Frisk closed her eyes and she reset to her last save of a day before. Frisk woke up to see Sans who said.
"hey baby bones, welcome back"
The machine was a success.
Once they confirmed the we're able to contain their memories Gaster and Sans moved the machine to a more locked down part of the lab for safe keeping. Once set up they had Frisk make a true reset, one to where she fell into the ruins.
And that is when Frisk's adventure truly began. This is also when Sans and Gaster saw Flowey for the first time.
"what the hell is that thing?" Sans asked, Gaster looked down at the ground and shook his head.
"A failed experiment by my apprentice Alphys..." Sans chose not to question it any further and went back to observing. Frisk went through the first timeline neutrally, only attacked in self defense. Which as Gaster noted was expected. Sans was also unsurprised, but he wished he was wrong. Frisk accidentally killed Toriel, and in response reset the timeline, and manged not to kill her. Once she left she ran into Flowey who commented on how she went back to not kill Toriel. Sans looked at Gaster once more and raised an eyebrow. Gaster honestly did not have a response to this. The girl then continued on her journey, along the way she met that timeline's Sans and his brother Papyrus.
"wow i'm pretty different in this timeline, almost like i'm someone else entirely." Gaster nodded and continued watching. Frisk went on her was only attacking when she felt threatened, Sans watched as Frisk befriended his brother in this timeline even though he was trying to capture her to bring her to the royal guard.
"hehe just like Paps" Frisk made it to Snowdin and ended up fighting Papyrus only to have Papyrus spare her. The girl managed to make it to hotland before Gaster said something new.
"I need to make some adjustments to the machine." Sans raised an eyebrow. "What adjustments?" Gaster looked over and replied.
"We need to be able to communicate with the girl somehow. I'll figure something out, you keep notes." Sans nodded and continued watching. The girl made friends with a monster around her age, and she tried to befriend the royal guard Undyne, a spider named Muffet and she also met the other scientist Alphys. After sparing Undyne and saving her life in Hotland, she refused to talk to the girl for killing some of the other monsters. Muffet attempted to attack Frisk but let her go after learning she bought food from the Spider Bake Sale. Alphys tricked the girl into fighting one of her robots, made to kill humans. Only to be told by that robot it was her plan to kill her all along. The girl still befriended the robot and continued her way to the king. Although Sans kept up his notes on the human, he was actually more concerned with his counterpart.
"why am i acting like Gaster in this timeline?" Sans thought and just shook it off. "hope i didn't intimidate the kid too much. but i seem to be looking out for her, even in this timeline." Gaster returned to the control room with news that he finished the device and would only communicate if necessary and pull the kid out if she reached a dead end. Sans agreed. Sans also noticed something odd about this timeline. "hey i haven't even seen you yet Gaster, wonder where you're hiding." Gaster didn't say anything and continued to watch. Eventually Frisk made it to Judgement Hall to see Sans standing there waiting for her. San's eyes widened. "i'm the judge of this timeline?" Gaster looked back at Sans and replied
"Something must have happened to me in this timeline. It also explains why Alphys was filling my role as the Royal Scientist." Once the Sans of that timeline allowed Frisk to pass she made it to the castle and ended up fighting Asgore. She managed to beat Asgore and convince him to spare her, after that Flowey attacked Asgore behind his back, killing him and taking the six human souls. After that, they lost the ability to see the timeline.
"what happened?! can we get it back?!" Sans yelled standing up from his chair, however Gaster looked down with a sullen look on his face.
"No, all we can do now is hope and wait for another reset." Sans was not satisfied with that answer although he believed in the kid, she made it this far, he believed in her.
What felt like forever in the void. There was eventually a reset, although the reset seemed as if she reset all the way back to the ruins.
"what is the kid doing!" Sans yelled. Gaster only stared at the screen, although he too seemed upset with the result. The events played out the same until she was shown how to FIGHT. this time, Frisk attacked the dummy rather than talking to it. This confused both scientists. "Something is off." Gaster said, looking at the screen. The events that unfolded afterwords we're ones neither of them hoped for. Frisk started to kill every monster she could find. Sans looked at the screen in horror. He could not believe that Frisk would kill all the monsters in the ruins. "we have to pull her out!" Sans yelled. But Gaster refused. Sans could only look on in horror as Frisk managed to make it through the underground, killing everyone one by one. Frisk once again fought Papyrus although she hit him until only a head was remaining. Papyrus said that he still believed in her, that she could be a good person if she tried. Sans watched as the kid started to cry hysterically before she stepped on his skull, turning him to dust. Sans eye started to glow with anger as Gaster put his hand to Sans face to seal the magic.
"You need to calm down Sans..." Sans smacked his hand away.
"She just killed Paps Gaster! She just killed your son..." Sans started to cry. Gaster just put his hand on Sans shoulders.
"It's okay, he'll be back... I know it..." Sans wiped his tears and sat back down. He wanted to be mad at the kid. But after seeing the kids face before she killed Papyrus, it's as if Papyrus would not allow him to be mad.
The fight with Undyne changed, she had used her determination to fight the child, but after a few resets was inevitably killed. This intrigued Gaster, Sans sworn he was impressed. But that was short lived, since after that fight the child ended up killing everyone afterwords without fail. That was until she made it to judgement hall. The Sans of this timeline would not let Frisk pass no matter what. The two scientists prepared for the mass amounts of resets, Frisk reset around 50 times before they noticed something different about Frisk. Gaster was the first to say something. "That expression, is one I have seen before..." Sans noticed now that Frisk had red eyes and a more crazed expression on her face. "That's Chara." Gaster continued. Sans raised an eyebrow. "Chara Dreemur? The kings human kid?" Gaster nodded. A few more deaths in Chara got closer to beating Sans. Eventually the Sans of that timeline said.
"ugh... that being said... you, uh, really like swinging that thing around, huh? ... listen. i know you didn't answer me before, but... somewhere in there. i can feel it. there's a glimmer of a good person inside of you. the memory of someone who once wanted to do the right thing. someone who, in another time, might have even been... a friend? maybe... maybe even more than that? c'mon, buddy. do you remember me? please, if you're listening... let's forget all of this, ok? just lay down your weapon, and... well, my job will be a lot easier." Sans was shocked, was this timeline's Sans connected to himself? Something more? Once Chara heard that her expression turned back to one like Frisk's who started crying even more hysterically than with Papyrus. Frisk hit spare as fast as possible and ran towards Sans and hugged him. This Sans hugged frisk back and said.
"... you're sparing me? finally. buddy. pal. i know how hard it must be... to make that choice. to go back on everything you've worked up to. i want you to know... i won't let it go to waste..." He then impaled Frisk with as many bones as he possibly can, killing her almost instantly. "Gettttt dunked on." Sans said before tossing the corpse on the ground. For the longest time the corpse just laid there, unmoving. Both Sans's we're wondering the exact same thing. when are they gonna reset? Sans then looked back at the corpse and said. "if we're really friends... you won't come back."
The world reset once again.
"The Human made another True Reset." Gaster said writing more notes down. Sans was shocked. Did he influence their reset? Why would the kid reset after I killed her. That was when Sans realized.
That was not the same Frisk he knew.
Frisk was loving caring, and even laughed at his cruel jokes. He now knew even after what he saw, that that girl was not the Frisk. The Frisk he spent so much time with. It was something else entirely. Now Sans was worried about something else...
Will he have to watch everyone die again?
Prolouge to something of an idea I have, hopefully I can make this a little less confusing when I put out the next chapter. Until next time . R&R -Devster77
