TerminaTale

Long ago, two races ruled over the earth, humans and monsters.

...

What's with that look? Have you heard this already?

Well then… perhaps you would enjoy watching as something else occurs.

Something that could destroy timelines.

Let me enlighten you.

Every conceivable version of yourself exists.

Every choice you make, splits off into different possibilities.

The more different choices that are made, the more a timeline changes from the original.

But what happens if two timelines with two completely different choices, end up in the exact same place?

Would you like to find out?

…

Alright then, let us begin our tale…

W.D. Gaster overlooked the edge of the place he called home. The void could barely even be considered fit for a house, but Gaster made do with what he could. He had managed to construct a whole lab with his magic.

The skeleton was very keen on what he did. After all, he had a project still preserved in his lab for future use. Project S-3 was doing just fine. Time was irrelevant in the void, but Gaster decided to spend some time off before continuing his mission. After all, this had been a very hard project to succeed in.

One of Gaster's favorite rooms was where the lab opened up to the void. This room contained entryways and paths to different timelines and worlds entirely. Before the tragic events of when Gaster was erased, he had studied the multiverse theory thoroughly. It had always intrigued him that it is possible different worlds exist.

Now, he could watch them all from this simple room. The void was the connection between all of these timelines. Gaster would monitor them and take notes to find out more. It was really just what he did in his spare time, even though the void lacked time.

Some timelines disgusted him, while others made him watch intently for who knows how long. Some were good, some were bad. Some were just alternations of his own. All of these timelines originated from one simple timeline.

The original was rather boring. Nothing unusual would happen in this one. It was just normal people having random conflicts on literally anything that made them mad. Gaster nearly never paid attention to it.

Gaster let out a long drawn out sigh. He would have to set the project into its main motion, and then he would have to watch it intently. This may be the last time he would be able to watch the timelines without care. When the project succeeded, he would be able to finally come back.

He would make this last moment near the timelines worth it. Gaster watched as all the bright shining orbs which housed the timelines shone with brilliance. It was a beautiful scene. However, Gaster noticed something quite odd.

Two of the timelines were straying off of their normal position in the void. Gaster had seen this happen before. Two different timelines would cross each other and with their essence, make a new one. But both timelines would have to make a choice that would cause them to merge.

This was strange. One timeline, timeline ZD578 was completely different from timeline UT703. How could either of these timelines make a choice that would make them one in the same.

This was interesting. The timelines were most definitely going to merge. UT703 was just an alteration of Gaster's original timeline, but ZD578 was a world with impure monster-like creatures. This would be interesting.

The timelines shone brighter than the rest. Gaster had to shield his eyes as the blinding light reached him. When he reopened them, one new timeline rested in their places. ZT001. Gaster decided that the project could wait for a moment. He would love to watch this timeline develop.

Meanwhile…

"So… What'll it be this timeline Frisk?" Chara asked, floating a bit above the fallen human's head.

Frisk had just reset the timeline again. To them, this was all a game. Sure, they had a passion for these monsters, driving them to do more Pacifist routes then Genocide, but sometimes they got bored and tried different things. Last reset was a genocide, much to Chara's liking.

This timeline, however, was going to be a True Pacifist. Chara normally didn't do much on this route other than make comments on enemies. Frisk began signing, "Pacifist," Noticing Chara's annoyed expression, Frisk continued, "C'mon, we killed everyone last timeline. Why not spare them this time."

Chara crossed their arms, "Ugh, fine. Whatever you say Frisky."`

The young boy, clad in green, fell through countless clocks. The song of time was still ringing in his ears as white light engulfed his vision. He could see most of his items earned in his days of Termina falling from his grasp.

He hadn't played the Song of Time, so why, why did time suddenly grind to a halt? Link had done everything and let everyone reach the Dawn of the New Day. Everyone was finally happy. Link was just about to depart from Termina to venture back to Hyrule, but what happened.

Link's feet touched ground. Tatl, his companion who joined him on his journey through Termina, gave him a questioning look. "Hey!? Why are we back here?"

Link was never a talker. He instead he gave Tatl a confused shrug. Link's gaze wandered upward towards the sky. The moon loomed above them once again. Dawn of the First Day, 72 hours remained. Seventy-two hours until the moon would come crashing down.

"Hey!" Tatl began bobbing up and down around Link. "Have you looked at yourself?" Link did what Tatl said and flinched in alarm. It wasn't his normal body. He was a Deku Scrub again. This was not normal.

He tried to take off his mask, only to find that he was only pulling off his face. Frantically, he began searching for the Ocarina. Luckily, he still had it. So he could play the Song of Healing and take it off.

Quickly, Link rushed into the interior of the Clock Tower. Playing the Song of Healing in public would be a bad idea. When he entered the tower, something was absent. The Happy Mask Salesman was gone. That man never left the clock tower. Where could he have gone?

Link quickly played the Song of Healing on the Deku Horns. The mask fell off, returning him back to his original body. Out of all the transformations Link used, the Deku Scrub was the most uncomfortable. Link went into panic mode. Did he have any other masks?

Everything he collected had completely disappeared. He was only left with his normal Hylian shield, and his Kokiri Sword. How had this happened? Whenever he traveled back in time, his main items would stay with him.

Link quickly burst out of the Clock Tower, looking for any differences. There was one major change. All of the townsfolk had gathered in the center of Clock Town, gazing over to Snowhead. Screams rang out through the town.

The mountain began flashing various colors from a small cave. In a loud crash, glass-like shards exploded from the inside. Smoke began rising from the mountain, covering it from Link's view. Even Skullkid was looking to the mountain in shock. Majora's mask began trembling with ferocity.

The moon was not the only threat anymore. In haste, Link sped off towards Snowhead in a rush. Tatl quickly flew after him in confusion, "Where are we going? Shouldn't we worry about the moon?"

Link didn't respond. At the gateway that existed to the north, a guard attempted to stop him. Normally, he would let Link pass because he had a sword. But the guard did not let him pass at all. "Sorry kid, we can't let anyone through." Link growled in annoyance, showing him his sword. The guard raised an eyebrow, "Even with a butter knife like what you have, we need to make sure travel is secure."

Tatl was getting annoyed, "Hey, we are trying to get through. How about you step aside?" The fairy said, bobbing up and down.

The guard didn't budge a bit. "Sorry, but it's the Major's orders."

Tatl let out a yell and started rushing the guard in the face. He let out a yell of confusion. "G-Get off me you stupid fairy!" He desperately tried to swat Tatl away.

The fairy looked to Link for a brief moment saying, "I'll catch up with you later." The boy nodded, rushing past the guard in a green blur. Termina would have to wait.

Well well well, didn't expect this from me huh?

I have always been a fan of the Legend of Zelda series, but Undertale stole the spotlight.

This first chapter is short, just to set up a bit of the plot.

I have read some LoZ and UT crossovers but most of them are either horrid, crackfics, or Link being sent into the Undertale world.

I decided to shake it up a bit.

So, I have decided to give a crossover a shot.
