Author's note: So I sorta did this on a whim, so I apologize if this kinda doesn't make sense. I'm honestly just putting this first chapter out there to see what people think. Also I'm pulling some 'head cannon' from the Undertale Community (So there will be tons of mentions of Alternate Universes, more specifically Camila Cuevas Glitchtale in a few areas. And Underverse a tiny bit.) But I will do my best to explain everything! Feel free to review and discuss with me or eachother! So enjoy! Also forgive me if I say He or her on chara and Frisk, I know their genderless, it's just a slip up. Additionally… I enjoy the soriel ship. It won't be egregious but its there. Anyway! Have fun!
Mothertale? UnderBound?

Prologue: I have strings on me
There I sat… the void's crushing silence overtaking me, over and over…
I felt the void glitch upon entry of my personal devil, the strings around the last shard of my existence tightening as our gazes meet
"Hello… What can I do for you Error?" I ask Breathlessly.
"I-I Founnnnd it." He replied holding his hand out to the side…
Two menus show up, colorful and meaningful! It was beautiful too see color, real color again…
The universes he held out came into focus...Mother 3… and Earthbound… Two universes connected through time… Two perfectly, tightly wound universes… I almost cried…
"Thisss IS wHereeee we getttT the E-Ee-energy neccessary for our plan" I hear my glitched capture inform
"Why? Why do they deserve your wrath?" I ask angrily
I feel the strings tighten… "Because, the-ir wwww-wwworld enDds anywaaay. W-W-who cares! We neeeeeeed their energy-y-y-yoooo" He replied
I sighed and looked away "what do you want me to do?"
"Mess with the code that I can't." He said, enough determination to speak clearly "Pull four people from The most recent TruePacifist run, but the one where chara kills them all eventually anyway… and shove them into Mother three… replacing the main characters of that world. If they die in Undertale… we can absorb their death…" He cackled…
I hated it when he spoke clearly, he sounded to much like the original sans… who wouldn't do this. But perhaps I can use this to my advantage if these four main characters can beat or suppress Chara… perhaps they can work together…
"I'll do it. Let me choose. It may have to be thematic, what about earthbound?"
"i-i-Imma bridge-e-e-e-eeee that with M-Mmmmother 333333 And no matter what, as long as both worlds die together… the raw code will be ours… enough energy to erase all the garbage AUs I want!" He explained, pure hatred from his soul, if you could call it that anymore.
"Then do it. And leave so I can work." I say defeated
He cackles, glitches uncontrollably and connects Mother 3 and Earthbound. In that instance, I start pulling the code from the doomed pacifist timeline, and the Mother 3 code…
I read them out… Lucas, Kumatora, Duster and Boney…
Who should I replace them with? Who are the main characters of EarthBound?
.
..
…
Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo…
Well then, how about something thematic for these four.
Sans, Toriel, Alphys and Undyne…
All it takes is a rip here, a mod there… and now the 2 pairs of characters...are switched!
Chapter 1: Gameover -Frisk/Chara P.O.V-
I awake, another day gone and they haven't snapped yet...
"Course not, you keep stopping the inevitable!" I hear them in my head
I sigh… ignoring them getting up for the day, I head downstairs and look around, usually Sans was up and getting ready for work and mom was making breakfast and preparing to go to college.
Turns out Sans found his calling as the best Pizza delivery man ever, teleporting to each house that makes an order.
And Mom, if she wanted to become a teacher she needed to go to school and get up to date on the method of schooling on the surface. Even on a saturday they both work harder than they ever had, it's rather nice.
"And it's all gonna end!"
"Shut it. Not this time." I groan softly.
"You can't run from consequences!"
I look around and hear papyrus upstairs doing… papyrus things, but I notice Sans' hat on the counter and toriel's bag… they aren't that forgetful… somethings wrong.
I go upstairs and knock on Paps door "COME IN HUMAN FRISK! ARE YOU LOOKING FOR TORIEL AND SANS TOO! NO ONE HAS SEEN THEM! AND UNDYNE OR ALPHYS WONT RESPOND TO MY TEXTS!"
Without a word I close my eyes and exit to the menu…
Everything was normal… except… the figures of Sans, Toriel, Alphys and Undyne are gone! They've been replaced with glitchy silhouettes of people I don't know…
But everything is running fine! Even without their code!? Maybe finding these new people I can figure out what's going on.
"And killing them!" They said, this time behind me in their physical body.
"No Chara … or at least… I hope I won't have to." I sigh and reload the save.
I get out of bed and dressed again and begin searching the house, going against my better judgment… or due to charas influence I grab a knife.
Afterward, I go and head to the underground, specifically to alphys old lab, I had thought maybe I could use some of the equipment there for… something? The cameras at least, if I was a gambling person these outsiders would be starting where I did.
It didn't take too long to get there but the Trek brought back memories… some nice ones… some not so nice…
When I get to the old lab I fumble with the computer for a bit before finally getting the cameras up and running… and I saw nothing… no one traveling, that doesn't mean they aren't where I fell, they could be unconscious.
I sigh and jog down to the river person… who just likes the underground for some reason… and he takes me to Snowdin, then a light jog later I'm in the ruins… my head begins to hurt… all the experimenting I did here with my powers… all the grinding…
"Yeah all of that was fun" chara sighed happily
If there was one thing I regret more than anything I've done… is pass my hate onto chara to make them like this.
I open the door to the little guarded under the hole where I fell… and there I saw Flowey… standing over 3 unconscious people and a dog…
"Flowey…" I said… gripping my knife uncontrollably.
"Don't worry idiot… I'm not going to kill them… what's the point? You probably are. But um… they're weird so I wouldn't recommend it." He said
"I'm not gonna kill anyone Flowey. Chara is-"
"-'under your control' I doubt that, idiot… you wouldn't have brought the knife if you did." He sighs.
I sigh as well… going to sit next to him, looking down at them, thankfully they were all breathing. One was a boy about 15, a little on the short side but was really fit for his age. He had blonde styled hair, soft looking skin, a yellow and red striped shirt, cargo shorts…
"He looks like a mommas boy" chara laughed
I'll admit I chuckled too. The woman next to him was not much older, but looked almost like a boy… she had pink hair and this long hoodie that stretched her body, she to was also fit and toned for someone her age.
Now this next guy… looked like a weirdo… his leg was all weird, and his hair… middle age lookin…
"I bet he's their dad. I feel bad for them." She sighed
I chuckle again and look to the sleeping doggo… brown with a collar. I reach out and turn the collar so I can read it…
"Boney, best pal to Lucas, Claus, Hinawa and flint… if you found the collar please return, if you found Boney… he'll be back whenever tell him to pick up eggs." I read out.
"These new people are weird." Flowey said.
"Yeah, why did their code replace Sans and the others?" I question out loud.
Flowey started laughing "Hallelujah! Trash bag is go-"
"As is Mom, Alphys and Undyne…" I say to him.
He pauses and continues laughing "Oh well! At least Smiley Trashbag is gone!"
"For once he and I agree" I hear Chara laugh
I groan and pull out my phone…
"What are you doing?" Flowey asked
"Callin paps" I replied as paps picked up, I held the phone away from my face.
"HELLO HUMAN FRISK! WHERE ARE YOU!?" He said in the normal way he does… loud.
"In the beginning of the underground. I need you to grab Asgore and Bring him down here… say it's urgent. There are unconscious people here that need help." I explain.
"RIGHT AWAY HUMAN FRISK!" He said before hanging up.
I put the phone down and close my eyes, finally able to put the knife down… chara must be curious about them to.
"No, I'm not!"
They are. I then turn to Flowey "Did you try to attack them?"
"No! well almost. I uh… checked them and backed off." Flowey admitted
"You coulda had 3 humans souls" i said
"He's a coward! Just like his father!" Chara screamed
"No I wouldn't have… check them." Flowey said, poking the weird stick the boy was clutching
Having control of my impulses at the moment, I chuck the knife far away before I enter a fight…
The world becomes monochrome and the silence of this place is deafening…
Blonde boy is crying in his sleep, pink haired girl is sleeping angrily, weird guy is snoring weirdly and Boney is sleeping Worriedly…
I take a breath and go to act, checking the blonde boy first… and what I found surprised and scared the hell out of me. First I noticed their hearts and traits… I couldn't tell what the dog was… but it's soul was strong! So I guess its trait is doggo… but The weird guy had a purple soul, the girl had an orange heart… and the blonde kid had a red one… like mine…

I didn't quite understand what I was seeing… but I understood why Flowey backed off… they had to be in another world entirely… and there's no telling what they could do…
I still had control over the timeline so then his DT as a power isn't as high as mine… good to know… or bad to know if chara takes over.
Their health was low, Flowey was really holding back if he didn't kill them!
"So what's your current theory?"
"From another world… sans and the others must be there." I reply.
"We could kill them now! Free exp!"
I groan and hold my head… I try to siphon some hate from Chara to make them more docile…
"Well… I'm gonna get out of here before dad and Papyrus gets here… stay safe idiot." He said before going under the dirt.
I drop out of the fight and wait. I go and pick the knife up… of my own volition thankfully
A few minutes later Asgore and Papyrus shows up.
Asgore holds his mouth "Oh my!" He then gets on his knees and gently shakes Lucas.
"Are they okay human frisk?" Papyrus said, actively worried.
"Alive but barely… it wasn't from the fall." I replied.
"We need to get them to a hos-" as Asgore was saying that.
The brown dog, Boney yawned and woke up… he looked up at us and jumped up growling…
"Hey hey there little pup. We're not gonna hurt you." Asgore days and reaches out slowly.
Boney tilts his head and let's Asgore pet him…
Boney barks happily, then he walks over to Lucas and nudges him… licking him worriedly…
"Is his your owner?" Asgore asks
Boney barks angrily.
"Well the dog seems less annoying than that white one." Papyrus whispers to me, which was a normal talking voice to most people.
Boney barks louder
"I think he wants us to help them" I said
"Well I'll carry the grown man, Frisk will you carry the young man?" He asked
"AND I'LL CARRY THE PINK HAIRED MAN!"
"That's a girl papyrus." I reply, picking up Lucas bridal style… he instinctively clung to my shirt… it was kinda cute.
"Fuck off, you're mine!"
"OH ALL YOU HUMANS LOOK THE SAME!" Papyrus exclaimed, carrying Kumatora.
Boney walks beside me as we head back to the river guy.
After 20 ish minutes of walking, we reach the surface and head to a local hospital.
The doctor pulls us aside "Do you know the patient's name? The hospital has a no Fight policy.. So we can't check that way."
I refrain from answering at the moment, but we all said we didn't know.
"I know the dog is the blonde boys." I answer "He might be named Lucas, Claus, Hinawa or flint according to his collar."
"Hmm.. I'll check the records… Can you take the dog home, he can't be here." The doc said
"Frisk, will you take Paps and Boney home and have him rest?"
"BUT I'M NOT TIRED!" Paps said
"The dog paps"
"OHHH. THEN LET'S GO! I'LL DRIVE!" He said.
I get on one knee "hey Boney, your friends are gonna be ok. But you need to come rest at our place. We can feed you and let you sleep."
Boney whines toward the door where Lucas was being kept... before nodding… he was as intelligent as a person… which was astounding!
I stand up and lead him out with paps who promptly drove us home. Once we get there I save in the livingroom and watch boney smell himself and whine, he then bit my pants lightly and tugged on my pant leg.
"What is it boy?"
He then walks to the bathroom and jumps in the tub.
"You want a bath? I guess I could do that for you." I reply, he did smell like he had recently been fried.
Paps walks up "FRISK! HAVE YOU SEEN SANS AND TORIEL?"
"I haven't, or ; they've vanished… Will you go around looking for them?"
"YOU KNEW!"
"Yeah, that's why I was in the underground. They weren't there… Undyne and Alphys are gone too." I reply as I start the running water.
"I'LL GET THE OLD GUARD TOGETHER AND FORM A SEARCH PARTY!"
"Good luck paps" I say getting toriel's fur soap
He runs off and I sigh…
"Its sad when we kill him" I hear chara say, they're starting to lose hate and ease up thankfully.
"We're not killing him chara." I reply.
Boney got tense and looks at me…
"Sorry, Old joke from a friend who passed away"
He eases up but was weary… It didn't take long to wash him, he was very cooperative. And now he seemed more energetic… seemed the hot water healed him up to full!
"Wanna go sleep Boney?"
Boney nods
"Hmm… don't sleep on Paps bed. My bed is okay, the big bed that Sans and Mom sleep in. And the couch which is pretty comfy, I end up passing out there most days anyway." I say as I hear my phone ringing on the counter in the kitchen.
"Go ahead and find your way around Boney, I'll be back." I say and head too the kitchen, washing and drying my hands.
It was from Asgore.
I pick up the phone "hello?"
"Frisk! Can you come back to the hospital as quick as you can! The blonde one is awake and is lashing out terrified! Please Hurry!" He exclaimed as I hear struggling in the background.
I hang up and bolt out the door as fast as I can and down the road… it took much longer to get to the hospital with Papyrus out.
I reach the hospital and bolt up the stairs to see a security officer get thrown out of the room Lucas was in.
I run to the room panting, where I see asgore standing off in a fight trying to calm the boy down,
"Its ok young man! I am not here to hurt you." he said
Lucas was in tears, with my extensive DT I could see his mind on the menu confusingly.
I enter the fight as well, He looked to me as I see-
Lucas is hysterical! Crying uncontrollably! Lucas's turn…
I prepare myself to dodge or jump in front of Asgore… there was no telling what he could do unarmed without his stick. I watch his decision… he chose fight
Lucas used PSI Shield Ω
I watched as a barrier of… magic? Formed around lucas, and him pant heavily.
You chose act
"Asgore! Can you break his fight button!"
"What! No! That will scare him more!"
"That's true...I'm going to talk to him"
"Or kill him and put him out of his misery, look what a crybaby he is!"
Asgore's turn- He chose act
"Listen, young man my name is Asgore. I used to be a father, my kids were not much younger than you when they passed away… I do not wish to hurt you." He says and slowly approaches
"Stay back! Where's Kumatora! Where's Boney! Where's Duster!" He shrieked, tears streaming down his face
Lucas's turn- Lucas chose fight!
Lucas charged pink energy, pulling up from around his head… the building shook, the ground cracked...
Lucas rushed Frisk
Lucas was pretty fast, I wasn't prepared for a straight punch to my jaw…
You suffer 32 damage
I feel my heart shatter and everything goes black, those big stats aren't just for show, I hear the game over music… However… instead of Asgore or Chara saying something with the big game over screen. I see….
GAME OVER

Then the menu was brought up… the silhouettes were still there but less glitchy than before..
"Well how are ya gonna get out of this one I wonder." Chara said full body this time.
"I'm gonna bring Boney with me this time. And what was with the gameover screen?" I reply to them
"I dunno, they look familiar. Or you can let me kill them!" They laugh and do that creepy smile stepping closer to me.
"No." I reply
I then load us back into the world just before I gave boney a bath… I didn't wanna look crazy, plus now I can bring boney with me after his bath.
"Look crazy! Just go back to the hospital now! And take boney with you!" I hear their voice again.
Nope, I'm gonna give Boney a bath first, he's so tired and in pain.
When boney tugs on my leg, events proceed as normal… However… This time after the bath and after paps leaves…
"Hey boney, this might sound crazy" I say as I hear the phone ring. "Lucas might be in trouble! So come on!" I exclaim as we both bolt out the door, i pick up the phone as im running
"Yeah?!" I answer
"Frisk I-"
"I'm on my way!" I reply and hang up.
Boney and I get there as the guy is thrown out again, people and docs yelled at us for bringing a wet dog that smelled like soap but we reached Lucas's room in time.
Lucas see's boney and the fight ends…
Lucas drops to his knees as he bawls his eyes out, Boney runs up and they embrace tightly.
I smile to myself…
"Well. that's settled."
Lucas takes a bit too calm down as other doctors and security officers rush in… Asgore stops them and shows he isn't a threat anymore.
I turn to the doctor "What happened?"
"We're halfway through healing him magically and he wakes up acting hysterical. We were going to heal his friends afterward." The doc says.
Lucas finally stops crying "Where are we? Why are you wet boney?"
I walk up "hey, I'm Frisk. We found you guys unconscious, you're in a hospital. And I was giving him a bath when Asgore called about you."
"Ok this is weird you never tell anyone your name unless they ask first. And you're not usually this talkative come to think of it!"
"I-I'm Lucas…" He replies meekly…
"Okayyyy this little sniveling shit killed us!?"
I choose to ignore chara and help him up "these doctors are going to heal you… don't worry okay?"
He nods and gets back in bed. "Where are my friends? Duster? Kumatora?"
"They're in the room next to yours. They'll be healed soon with magic. You know what that is?"
"No? I know that I can heal with PSI… here"
Lucas used PSI Lifeup γ
A green glow encompasses him… he heals completely but he looked fatigued
The Doctor gathers around "You should rest… but… We are detecting higher brain activity… but increased heart rate… you need to sleep, we can heal your friends."
Lucas looked to boney… who nods. When they do I look at the screen, it showed a higher brain function as well.
"They're fucking psychic!?" Chara exclaimed
Psychokinetic… interesting. So not magic...
I go and save at the hospital and thankfully the doctors let boney stay after they get a towel for him…
I go and sit in the lobby…
Chara… don't mess with me right now… what do we do?
"Those symbols on the game over screen felt familiar... I don't remember how though, they remind me of Paps and sans's fonts…" They reply
Guess we gotta die again.
End of chapter 1
Next chapter
Chapter 2: sans.
(Hey guys! Thanks for reading this far! I uploaded two chapters at once to get basically both story stuff out of the way at once. If you enjoyed this please review! It was just a fun idea I had. And yeah it might not make a whole lot of sense with Lucas and the others' abilities, but I didn't want to strip them of it, that isn't fun and then they'd be a stronger base frisk… sorta, But anyway! I hope you all continue reading!)
