I did it.
I freed the monsters.
All I had to do now was make my way to the city and get the local humans to come and meet with the monsters so they can get a 'new' new home. It seemed easy enough but while making my way there I realized just exactly what I was doing. I was walking to a city that just a few days ago I had run away from with no intent of going back. My steps got slower.
I ran away because of the hate found in such a small place was just unbearable. Steps slowed even more. I didn't even leave a note or anything. Not like it mattered much being a orphan in a city. At this point I was dragging my feet. I was walking into a place were they couldn't accept other humans with the intent of reintroducing monsters into there society after centuries. I stopped walking.
I found myself at the bottom of the mountain path at this point. Looking back up towards the peak I felt a grip in my stomach I couldn't stand. I had been in the underground for what can be logically seen as 3 days but I've lived there for so much more. Making friends for life over and over and going through so many puzzles. Pushing people to do things and then do it all over again. How did I manage this? By all my resetting.
There, humans with a strong soul can have a certain 'control' of time. My soul was filled with determination and allowed me to save and reset as if the entire experience was just a game. At first I took this for granted and just played around with people. Then I saw how some people would carry a déjà vu of previous resets and a certain flower would retain all memories. It was then I had fully realized that what I was doing was not a game and I was messing with peoples lives.
When I fell down I was told by a voice that if I did the right thing and showed people kindness I would set all the monsters free. So you can assume I always took out a froggit or two with the occasional vulkin to keep my time abilities in check. It was later when I had my epiphany that I decided to do what was right. After that the voice in my head was identified as fallen child like me. The flower, who also carried a secret identity as Asriel Dreemur, had told me about the child.
Chara was apparently an 10 year old girl who had fallen In the late 90's. She had attempted to kill herself by jumping into the same chasm I would find myself in. She had a deep hatred for humanity and would show violent tendencies when reminded of the world above. In her case she was reminded often with an 8 year old Asriel who only wanted to see the stars. Seeing the monsters yearn for the human world sickened her. Ironically as her stay continued she grew sick and eventually became the equivalent to a fallen monster. Asriel attempted to bring Chara's body back to the human world but was attacked. Later the queen would take the child's body and bury it under a very familiar flower patch. He would talk about how she was dangerous, but I had only ever heard Chara once or twice upon waking up each reset. So she still mostly a mystery to me.
However recalling all this stuff brought me to terrible realization. That happened in the 90's! That's fairly recent! If humans attacked him on sight then what would they do now?!
I started to grit my teeth. What was I doing. Was I leading them to sanctuary or their final resting place. Could I really take the risk? The monsters have been dreaming of leaving the underground for a long time but is it just to soon for them. I can't bring himself to led them to what they've been waiting years for only for what they would greet with kindness to tear that a part. I just can't.
I slowly found myself on the ground holding my knees and crying. What could I do? I can't sit her and bawl forever. Mom will be expecting me back soon and I don't know if I could look in her general direction at the moment. This is to much stress for a kid. How did they expect me to handle it in the first place? Just walk up to someone and be like 'hey my monster friends live here now. Okay? Okay.' That's not how humans work! They have trouble living along side their own because they are a different color or because they don't like the same things! What am I to do?
"Howdy…Do you need some help?"
I look up and sure enough Flowey the flower or Asriel or whatever he wants to go by at the moment was right in front of me.
"Asriel? How are you here?"
"Well, with the barrier broken I can pop up just about anywhere now."
Isn't this just lovely. Like I didn't already have so much to worry about. I shook my head a little, but he didn't seem to notice. I looked at the ground as if it contained something of vast interest.
"I thought in this form you hate me. Why would you offer to help me?"
"That's not completely true." He went. Twirling his leaves a little as if he would rather be anywhere else which I'm sure he does. "I feel nothing at all in this form. However some feelings have lingered from my old self and to get it out of my system I'd like to help out a little if I can." He stared as if embarrassed but mixed with something I couldn't put my finger on quite
I look at him hard. He starts to slightly pull himself back from my glare. As evil as he was, and still might be, he is older than me technically. He also has the memories from before . Maybe he could give me advice on what to do. I must be crazy to be doing this but I need input.
"Okay, how about some advice? All monsters at the moment depend on me to send message of their arrival to the local people. However I'm certain this will only spell doom for them ruining any chance for a happy ending. I want them to be happy but their hopes and dreams want them dead. What do I do? What do I-" I broke off into a slight sob. Feeling the weight of the responsibility on my back once more.
"Why don't you just reset?"
"Huh-"
"Yeah!" he semi shouted. Looking proud of his answer. "You want them happy correct?" this earned a nod from me. "Well moron, if you ask me, they were the happiest dealing with your shenanigans underground. If it upsets you this much it be safe to say you're determined enough to do anything to make them happy. All you gotta do is go back through and try to convince them to stay in their little hole." He ended with his infamous grin.
I'd never thought of that. While going over my options my literal options appeared beside me. My determination had conjured up a continue and reset option. I knew what I wanted to do but what would they think? I shut my eyes tightly, biting my lip as well. No, this is for their best interest. I gave Flowey one last look before selecting the reset button. Everything flashed white.
Far up on the peak of Mt. Ebott a special group of monsters stood, overlooking the landscape.
"Isn't this view lovely?" Toriel said. Eyes fixated on the sunset. "It sure is." Asgore replied. The beauty of it all was enough for the queen to dismiss his reply calmly. Alphys was currently collecting dirt samples from the new land while Undyne found herself planning out cooking classes with Papyrus and Sans was stuck in the middle. Being the skeleton he was, he didn't put a lot of effort to conversate on the most part. He sighed of relief upon seeing his brother happily going about in the dying sun light. For a while now it seemed his life had been going in a loop and for once he's glad it's different than usual. The kid saved us and now we're free. Tibia honest he was starting to become suspicious of the kid. He had a strong feeling his constant feelings of déjà vu was related with him but now, when he looked over the skies and saw the….expanding ..white…void…that nobody else seemed to see. Okay kid, you've peaked my interest.
He let out one last sigh and tucked his hands in his pockets.
"hey tori, lovin' that nice ass. Oh, and Undyne, Papyrus has had a crush on you since he was a baby bone." Putting on his hoodie as the last words slip.
"My goodness!"
"He has what now!"
"BROTHER! THE BETRAYAL!"
As soon as the ruckus started the white abyss wiped them away. All except a certain skeleton whose eye was giving off a slight blue glow.
