A/N: So this is a little project I've been working on and off and here and there on. Just a fun little thing mostly, well except for Underfell. That's a weird place. But this'll basically just be me writing for fun. So, I guess enjoy?
Disclaimer: I don't own Undertale, UnderSwap or Underfell. But I do own this fic! And a little thing here: both my Chara and Frisk are male.

~Chara~
Chara felt air rush at his sides. He gasped at the sensation. It had been quite some time since he'd felt anything physically. He had always been only a manifestation of Frisk's mind, unable to touch, unable to feel. He only ever got to talk to Frisk as he watched everyone else scuttle on by, not even able to talk to them. It was nice to feel something, even if it was small.
The air became stronger, whipping his hair into his face. An uneasy feeling quickly rising in his gut. He realised there was a circular light getting smaller and smaller, further and further away. This scene was familiar.
His eyes widened. He turned himself around to find he was falling in mid air, watching as that pile of yellow came closer and closer.
"HOLY-"
SPLAT!
No. No. That wouldn't be the sound of a body hitting a large pile of flowers would it? Maybe something more along the lines of 'WHOOMPH!'. Yaaaaah. That sounds better.
WHOOMPH!
Chara landed face down onto the flowers.
He slowly sat himself up, groaning as he spat the flowers from his mouth.
"Pleh! Pleh! How the hell did I eat this crap?!" He questioned himself as he rubbed his mouth with the sleeve of his sweater.
After a few good moments of brushing himself off, Chara stood up. He looked around. Same place as before when he had first fallen into the Underground. But why was he back here? He was dead, wasn't he? Well, technically he'd been living inside a child's mind because he was too DETERMINED to give up so easily. Still, he was done gone dead. He shouldn't have a physical being. He was still wearing his old green and yellow striped sweater too.
Chara had a look at it, sniffed it, and shrugged. It wasn't that old. Although it might need a good wash sometime soon.
Oh well, as long as he had his trusty knife in hand, he'd be fine.
Chara reached his hand over to his back pocket, waiting to grab that cold, familiar metal, but . . . it wasn't there.
His eyes widened in panic, hands continuing to pat at his pockets.
'Ok where the hell is Mr. Stabbington the 2nd!? Don't you dare say I lost him! Especially when Frisk took Mr. Guttington the 1st!'
Chara checked the area around him, in the flowers, in his shirt, maybe even on the walls of the cave. (He'd found a small froggit in the cracks) But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn't find his good old knife. So, like any sensible person, he stood up, stared into space for a few moments, went to a corner of the room.
And cried.
-:-
After his crying session, Chara decided it was high time he check out the rest of the area. So far, it was just like before, the purple ruin doors still stood where Asriel had once guided him through to the rest of the underground. He placed a hand on them, remembering his first fall and wondering what it would be like now that Frisk didn't seem to be around. He chuckled to himself. How many lives could he destroy this time?
Chara kept a small smirk on his face as he pushed the doors open and walked into the wide space where Asrie-Flowey would usually be. But, instead of seeing the yellow flower pop out of the ground, there was a white dog, wearing a yellow and blue striped t-shirt, with black hair, curled up in the light.
Chara stood in awe for a moment, eye twitching, mouth agape, taking in what this timeline might be like. He didn't think he could handle a timeline completely filled with Temmie. Good Asgore! He'd rather deal with a timeline full of Jerry's than that! (On second thought, Chara decided that he would much rather deal with a timeline full of Temmie's over Jerry's any day. Nobody likes Jerry. Not even Asriel.)
Chara sighed in defeat and walked to the Temmie. As Chara reached it, it opened an eye, spotting him, and stretched out from its previous relaxed position meeting him with that usually cheerful grin and stupid face. He expected the worst.
"hOI!" It began. The music that played alongside the Temmie seemed to be a mix between "Your Best Friend" and "Temmie Village".
'"Your Best Tem"?' He thought as he chuckled to himself.
"Im TEM dA TEMMIE!" So far, it seemed to be Flowey's dialouge with a twist. He wondered how the rest of it would play out. Finally, something a little interesting!
"hUh!?" Tem exclaimed as it examined him. "nEw 2 UndAgOUnd! CONFUS!" Tem made that weird, squinty eyed facial when they exclaimed their last point.
"TEM tEch hOw 2 fItE! TEM gUd cOchE!" As the Temmie made their last statement, Chara felt his soul tug slightly as it glew it's familiar red. Being pulled into a battle after so long filled him with DETERMINATION! Or was it excitement? Anticipation? He could never pin that down.
The Temmie then went on to explain in it's weird temmiefied way about the battle system which Chara knew all too well. He might has well of been a master at it at this point.
Chara, half way through the Temmie's charade, rolled his eyes, looking down boredly at his nails (which he realised he chewed them too much) and stated, "Hey, Temmie,"
The Temmie stopped abruptly with that weird grin of theirs plastered on their face.
"If you could speed things up that would make my day." Chara didn't want to have to listen to this entire explanation again. He'd already gone through it with Frisk more than a million times. He didn't need to make it a million and one. And anyways, he wanted to find a weapon as soon as possible so he could get this over with and hopefully reset. Maybe he could even get through without Frisk getting in the way. That would be the cherry on top.
The Temmie had a defeated look on its face for a second, seemingly surprised at Chara's advances. Chara smiled at this, he won! The poor Tem could go scurry along home to wherever it came from and-
"You know what's going on here, don't you?" The Temmie's face suddenly went dark, a smile much like Flowey's growing on its face. It's once cheerful tone had disappeared, hell, it was actually speaking PROPER ENGLISH for once. That was what disturbed Chara the most.
'What the heck is going on?' Chara thought to himself as he stared horrified at the Temmie. Since when did Temmies become slightly frightening?!
"You just wanted to see Tem suffer," It said, referring to itself in the third person.
Chara watched as it slowly lifted its head, white irises glowing just like Flowey's. That twisted grin spread across its face.
"DIE!" The Temmie began to laugh as a circle of bullets surrounded Chara, drawing closer and closer.
Chara didn't even flinch. He shrugged and went to check his HP. He remembered it had originally been pretty high when he had first fallen in the underground. When Frisk came along, his HP was reduced to half. It took getting used to, but after so many pacifist runs, he nearly aced it.
As Chara saw his HP appear above his head his world began to crumble as he turned paler than the ghost he had once been.
He now had only a quarter of what his HP had been with Frisk. 5 HP. That was it. Nothing more. H-He hadn't been that bad, had he? Not to deserve such little wiggle room. At least with Frisk he adapted fairly easily. Frisk could take a few good hits and still be going thanks to his DETERMINATION, but Chara only needed one at this rate and he would have that dull drone of 'Game Over' stuck in his head and 'stay DETERMINED'.
No way in hell was he gonna die here. He was DETERMINED to survive this sack of crap. If he could survive a genocide run with an Undying Undyne and a dunking Sans with only 20 HP, he definetley would survive this twisted peice of crap.
The bullets were nearly touching Chara before he dropped carefully to the ground as the pellets shot past him from above. The Temmie's howling laughter had stopped as it stared at Chara shocked. Frisk sure was dumb to have never have thought to go under the pellets or bullets or whatever they were now.
As Chara stood back up, his expression darkened, his trade mark smile creeping onto his face. He walked to the Temmie, towering over as he cast his shadow down on it. He could see the Temmie visibly sweat. Chara chuckled and said, "Someone is in for a bad time." Chara pounded his fists together at this. Seems like that comedian had rubbed off on him a bit.
Just as Chara had reeled back his arm, ready to punch the Temmie right in the face, a fire ball came out of nowhere, shooting the Temmie out of sight.
Chara stood there for a moment, standing still in his readied position, processing what had just happened. He was already having a bad day, and just when he thought he'd have a little fun, some bozo came in and stole his prey away. Oh, wait till that hunk of shit got his lesson, just wait.
Chara quickly turned to where the fireball had come from and started, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT F-"
Suddenly, he heard an all too familiar, deep voice that reminded him of golden flower tea.
"What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor and . . . interesting youth."
From the shadows emerged, the King of all Monsters, Mr. Fluffybuns himself, King Tea, as Chara sometimes liked to call him. But most commonly known to him as:
"DAD!?"

A/N: Oh gosh this was fun to write. This'll hopefully be a fun adventure through Underswap for both you guys and for me. Now onto Underfell and get down to some explanations! Might update with two chapters each update so y'all can have both the Underswap or Underfell depending on which you prefer. Also, depending on whether you only read the Underfell or Underswap chapters, it won't hinder the story at all or only minimally. Basically means that y'all can read the UnderSwap and Underfell chapters alone or together without having plot holes everywhere. Fun. :P Anyways, see ya later ~
