I do not own Undertale or anything to do with it. Rights reserved to Toby Foxy and his Crew of amazing programmers and storytellers. This game made me feel so many emotions, so I tried to capture that in this. I don't know if this is good, but if you feel like it is, then leave a review detailing what you like about it, or if you want you could just leave a review about how you are feeling lately. I actually do care. Anyways do enjoy :D
In the Judgement Hall:
As Pax is awaiting the human's entrance to the Hall… no… Chara, he had to remember that this was Chara now. Not Frisk, the human his family had come to know for one day… before that demon had surfaced. He had to remember… Chara… Chara was the one to kill them… his dad, his uncle, his friends… everyone. But one thing that he couldn't figure out was why Chara sounded so familiar. But these event all began after his dad and uncle came back with the human.
Three Weeks Ago:
"Hey Paxy, look we brought a human." Pax ran to his dad and saw the human behind him.
"Hey little kid... hey what's wrong? Don't be… dogged… by me. Get it, cause dogs like bones… and I'm a skeleton…" Pax says laughing at his own joke. The kid on the other hand doesn't look so happy.
"Ah don't worry son, we found them in the cold. They're probably chilled to the… bone!"
"Aww dad that doesn't even work. They're not even a skeleton!" Pax says.
"Oh, right you are Paxy, guess I'm a real… bonehead." That gets Pax laughing.
"Oh you two calm down with these insufferable puns… I, the Great Papyrus, must figure out where our guest will sleep." Pax's Uncle says. Suddenly the child begins to walk around the house, it eventually takes a seat on the couch and falls straight to sleep.
"I guess she was… tired to the bone!"
"SAAAANS!"
"Aw come on Uncle Papyrus, that was humorous!"
"I am going straight to sleep to escape you two…" Sans and Pax laugh as Papyrus walks into his room slamming the door.
"Well kiddo, you got a couple of hours before whatever passes for night here. Just don't go to Grillby's, he gets cranky around this time, and people get… smoking!"
Pax cracks up in hysterics, "Aww dad come on now! All right I'll go see if I can find any sticks to burn." Pax leaves the house, not knowing the horrors that he would find when he got home.
Five hours later:
"Well look at my wrist, it's half past a tibia." He walks all the way home laughing at his own terrible pun. Pretty soon he got a chill up his spine, "Wow, guess I'm chilled to the bone." He says with a weak laugh. Pretty soon his jaunty stroll turns into a brisk walk, which turns into a run. Pax reaches his house, not noticing the piles of dust everywhere. He busts into the house, "DAD! UNCLE PAPYRUS! Where did you go?"
Pax suddenly hears a booming sound. He quickly rushes and sees the light pillar and runs straight for it. When he sees the figures fighting he notices he is behind the human… the human who is wielding a knife. He looks over to his dad, and in his arms is Papyrus. When Pax meets Sans's eyes he sees Sans shake his head no. Pax begins to cry as he sees Papyrus disintegrate… Sans looks up and shoves a palm towards Pax, and by some mysterious force, Pax is thrown into the tree lines just in time for the Human to look where he was once standing. When Pax got up he saw his dad standing in anger, he snapped his fingers and a flying skull appeared out of thin air. It opened its mouth and fired a strange beam, needless to say Pax was astonished. But the Human dodged before the beam hit it. This fight happened for hours on end until Sans eventually fell down in exhaustion…. And the human struck him down… Pax broke down in tears… Pax felt something break inside of him, though he felt like fading away, something inside of him surged. It was something he never felt before, something he thought monsters couldn't feel, he felt pure determination. He charged the human, who was taken by surprise. But nothing surprised it more than the look in Pax's eyes, the green irises and the tears that he cried formed into acid when they hit the ground. Dissolving the snow; Pax jumped in the air and shoved a fist towards the Human, "YOU BITCH! I'M GOING TO TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB YOU… YOU… DEMON!" Before Pax's fist hit the ground, a strange aura emblazoned it; when Pax's fist connected to the ground, nothing happened at first. But then, the whole ground exploded leaving a crater in the ground, but the force of the hit caused a huge gust of wind to spray away from the center of the impact zone; the gusts were so strong they cause the trees behind the fight to tumble down, and any monster dust was whipped around in mini tornado-esque whirlwinds. The Human was out of the blast zone, but it still got blown far enough to be closer to its destination so instead of going back to fight, it continues with its genocidal route. Meanwhile back at Snowdin; Pax is holding a fading Sans.
"Sorry Kiddo, maybe you could put those feelings in a j-jar… b-but I guess t-that would be a jarring experience for your e-emotions." Pax lets out a chuckle, but the chuckling is quickly stopped by his own sobbing.
"Dad please don't go… please… I don't know what I am going to do without you…"
"Kiddo, just go… just go to h-hotlands… ask Alphys to bring you… t-the Lab Results… You are in… c-charge now. Come… come on Papyrus… l-let's get some G-Grillby's." Just then Sans completely turns into dust, leaving his son behind… the only things left of his family are his Uncle's scarf and his Dad's Hoodie.
"DAMNIT DAD! WHY DID… WHY D-DID… WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE! HUMAN I'LL KILL YOU!" Pax puts on Sans's hoodie and ties Papyrus's scarf on his head like a hat. Suddenly he feels an energy surge through him, he feels… determined. He feels determined to avenge his family and all the monsters that were killed and that will be killed.
Later in Alphys's Lab:
"AUNT ALPHYS! IT'S ME, PAX!"
Alpyhs turns around and greets Pax, "Oh hey Pax, how have you…" she sees Pax crying, then she notices what he is wearing, "N-no…. don't… d-don't tell me… t-they weren't… t-they c-couldn't have…"
Pax nods, his tears growing in numbers, "I… I wasn't able to save them…"
Suddenly Undyne walks in, "Hey nerds… any of you know where Papyrus is, he hasn't been answering his phone and neither has Sans…" Undyne looks at Pax and slowly, but surely, realization dawns on her. "NO… YOU… YOU DON'T MEAN… THEY WERE KILLED! THOSE IDIOTS!"
"U-Undyne! That's k-kind of insensitive…" Alphys says, still aware of Pax being in the room.
"Oh… shit… Sorry Pax…" Undyne says.
"It's ok Aunt Undyne…"
"No kid, it's not. Monsters like your uncle and your dad don't deserve to be destroyed… and you don't deserve to be taken away from them either… Kid, I promise you that I am going to kill that human! Noone… no one should have to grow up without family… I was lucky your uncle found me when we were little. Without him… who knows what I might have done… As a promise to your family's honor I won't die until the last drop of determination is out of that bitch!"
Suddenly Pax bolts upright, "NO!"
"Kid it's all right, I'm Undyne the Undying. No one can beat me!"
Undyne turns to leave but is suddenly halted by some unseen force, Pax's voice ringing out behind her, "No Aunt Undyne, you are to help evacuate… I'll take the human down. You are Captain of the Royal Guard and you must guard the citizens by evacuating them!"
"Kid just cause your Uncle was Papyrus doesn't mean I won't sucker punch you." Undyne says, getting angrier by the second. Suddenly she is tossed into the air and tossed back down with extreme force.
"I'm sorry Aunt Undyne, but my command still stands. Alphys, Dad said something about some Lab Results… please get the Lab Results… NOW!" Alphys runs behind some door looking for some document.
"Kid, you need to calm down, like you said I am Captain of the Royal Guard. You have no jurisdiction over me." Undyne says, her tone restrained, but still fiery.
Alphys scurries back in with a document, "G-got It."
When Pax reads it he is shocked to see what it says. It is an experiment detailing the DNA of his Grand Father, W.D. Gaster, and Human DNA. The document stops at the day Gaster is said to disappear, but the results detail the experiment going extremely well, unlike the other Amalgamations, this one was adapting to its form rather well. The point that it ends says, 'When the Experiment emerges, it will be stronger than any of the other experiments. Asgore assures me it will have the highest ranking out of any monster beside the Royal Famliy, of course. I am naming the Experiment, Pax. He shall be entrusted to my care. My hope is that he never has to do the things I…'The page ends right there, part of it being burned, so Pax hands it to Undyne, which he lets go of her hold on her just enough to read the pages.
At the end she sighs and says, "Very well punk, I'll follow your command… Just… just don't die Pax. You're the only thing left those two…" She then hugs Pax, her breathing getting more ragged, "Please… please come back…"
"Don't worry Aunt Undyne and Aunt Alphys… I promise I'll come back. After I deal with the intruder."
Back at the Judgement hall:
"Oh… it's you," Pax looks over and sees Chara standing there, bloody knife in hand, "I bet you're angry about your pathetic Dad and your imbecilic Uncle. I can still taste their dust."
Pax begins to chuckle, then laugh, then finally begin roaring with laughter, "I'm sorry to tell you kid. I ain't even mad anymore," Chara tenses up, "That's right, my Dad died trying to protect his friends, and that's all I care about. As for Uncle Papyrus, his memory shall never be sullied in my mind. Good try though… Princess Chara."
"H-how…"
"Did you really think that I would believe such an innocent child would easily commit such tragedies. Besides, my eye, the one you unlocked for me with your murder, can see souls. Ain't that right Grandpa?" Suddenly W.D. Gaster appears to the right of Chara. Chara looks over and screams as Gaster grabs her, ripping her from Frisk's body. "Thanks Gramps, now please possess Frisk and get her out of here," Pax lifts up his hand, palm upwards, out of nowhere a scythe with a Gaster Blaster skull blade appears in his hand, "I've got a demon to stop. Maybe I can get some exorcise out of it!" This makes Pax chuckle.
Gaster possesses Frisk and teleports away from the Judgement Hall. Pax looks at Chara and sees she is seething with anger. "You little Bonehead! I'll turn you into Dust just like your friends… OOF"
Chara is sent flying backwards by Pax, his unoccupied hand lit on fire., "About that, those monsters were my friends… each of them with dreams of their own," Chara summons a spectral knife, "They wanted to have love," Pax dodges a slice, kicking Chara away from him, "You know what? It's quite funny how losing the things most important to you can make you kill easily."
"What's that supposed to mean."
"It means, you and I aren't so different. If anything… we are, of the same blood you could say." This makes Chara stop. Pax immediately takes the advantage and sucker punches Chara into a pillar. He speeds towards the pillar and punching again, but Chara teleports away leaving Pax to destroy the pillar. Chara stabs at Pax, but Pax quickly summons a Gaster Blaster skull to shield him from the stab and then curves around, slashing with his scythe, nearly nicking Chara's arm.
"You damn Monster, you walk around acting as if I am the most wretched thing here. I hope you know that I could feel the anger in your Dad, I could feel the despair both he and that idiot Uncle of yours felt as I cut into him." Chara laughs. She then stares hard at Pax, she sees his eyes are lit that green again. "Oh I hope you don't think your eyes will help you here. I now know your power, and knowing one's power is half the battle. The other half is knowing their weakness. And boy do I know yours."
Suddenly Pax appears behind Chara, as she turns around he brings his hands, clenched together into one fist, onto her head, knocking her straight into the floor. He then speeds towards her and shoulder bashes her further into the ground. He jumps out of the hole and watches her crawl out of the hole, "You know, your Majesty," Chara tenses, "You'd think you'd follow your own beliefs. The funny thing is you are a blood thirsty creature. You should be able to tell when blood is pumping through something."
"What are you getting at imbecile?"
"Oh nothing much, I just thought you could feel your blood pumping through me."
"What? You're lying!" Chara screams in anger.
"Oh really, then like you said, knowing an enemy's weaknesses is half the battle. Well I share many weaknesses with you, the ones I don't are all related to skeleton based though. Don't believe me, then how am I able to fend you off for so long without that liquid determination in Alphys's lab. If I had been using it, I'd probably be too exhausted to fight back. But you already know this, don't you? That's right, I know this is your thirty-seventh time going through a timeline. I know all about these timeline resets from Flowey and Gramps. You keep resetting and killing the monsters over and over again. The only reason you haven't completed so soon is because in this timeline, I'm here." Pax says with a cool demeanor.
Chara clenches her fists, "What would you know of the trouble I've been through. You're merely just an anomaly that shouldn't even have existed. I'll take great pleasure in killing you, I may even keep the timeline like this, just so I can laugh about it for all eternity!" Suddenly a chill fills the room. Pax looks around as he feels gusts of wind, when he looks back at Chara he sees something dreadful. Chara's aura was growing darker and darker, she looked even more demonic every minute. Suddenly Chara looked up and Pax could see the tortured soul that resided within. He made the mistake of looking into the blood red eyes. He opened his eyes and saw a room, he walked around and eventually heard a soft cry. He looked at the corner of the room and saw a chair. In it contained a little girl. Her hair was brown and she was fidgeting around as if waiting for someone to come by. Suddenly a door slams open and a bloodied man walks inside smelling of alcohol. The girl covers her head with her hands.
"Why are you covering your head you little bitch!" The girl said nothing but started crying. Pax felt a sudden feeling to protect the little girl. But when he tried to stop the man from grabbing the girl, the man walked right through him as if he was a ghost.
"DADDY NOOO! I'M SORRY FOR ANYTHING I DID! JUST PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" The little girl screamed.
Pax felt his heart clench as he couldn't do anything but follow the man out of the room. As they were walking out of the house Pax noticed a bloodied corpse of a women with the same soft hair as the girl, needless to say he began to tear up. Pax followed the man still, to the top of Mount Ebot, the entrance to the Underground. "All right you little bitch, you're going down the hole and out of my life forever!"
"DADDY NO! I PROMISE I WON'T CRY AGAIN! I WON'T BEG FOR FOOD EVER!" But her promises were to no avail. She was cast down the hole, her screams echoing down forever. Pax suddenly faints. When he comes to he sees the girl again, but this time she is with the Royal Family, suddenly the Prince gives her a present and she starts crying. The scene fills Pax with happiness for the girl, but then the scene changes to a bedroom. He sees the girl in a bed, a wet rag on her forehead. Pax could tell she was sick, "Mom when will they be ok?" The prince asks.
"I-I don't know… we just have to hope they will pull through." The scene changes again and Pax sees the girl in a big monster's hands. The monster is crying and the girl is unmoving. Pax immediately feels pain in his chest as he realizes the girl is dead.
"CHARA! NOOOOO! P-please don't be d-dead! You can't!"
Suddenly Pax is brought back to the Judgement Hall in time to dodge an attack by Chara. Suddenly he realized… that girl… that girl was Chara. He looks at Chara and begins to cry. That hesitation is enough for Chara to stab him through the chest. But Pax doesn't care, he grabs onto Chara's soul and brings it into an embrace. Chara's anger screams ring out throughout Hall, "Hey… calm down you Punk. I-I understand your pain… I've seen it. You don't have to be scared anymore." Chara's soul calms down a bit, so Pax continues to say, "Please Chara, you don't have to continue to do these things. I've seen your past. Please, you don't have to fight. What you've been doing is… understandable. Hell, I'm sure any monster would have done that."
Chara's aura disperses and in it's place is Chara, and she begins to sob, "How… how can you be so nice? I've taken away everything you loved… I-I don't deserve to live…"
Pax laughs through the pain he is feeling and Chara looks at him, "You're wrong," she looks confusedly, "You see, everything I love is the people you took away… but doesn't that include the innocent girl… the one who was thrown down here against her will. Chara, you may have done all of these things that were evil, and I may hate you for that… but I don't hate the real you. The one t-that gave all of the Underground hope before she died… Chara… I know you are still in there… Please… don't let this happen, reset the timeline… and stay… d-determined…"
"What?" Chara says as Pax falls over, his human blood draining out of him. "NO PAX! I DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS! I-I'm sorry… Please don't leave me now… not when I've finally started to remember."
Pax brings his arm up towards Chara, she stops crying for a moment to see, and he ruffles her hair; he gives her one last smile as his blood fully drains and he disintegrates into dust. As his dust falls on to the floor his last words ring out, "Stay Determined Chara."
Chara wipes her face and looks at the dust and grows a smile. She puts her hand on her chest and can feel the beating returning, she feels her determination growing. She looks at the dust and raises both her arms, "Thanks Pax… I won't forget this… I promise that I will let Frisk control the next timeline… I promise…"
Suddenly a blinding light flashes.
On the Surface:
"Pax wake up dear, you and Frisk are going to be late to school." Toriel shouts up the stairs. Pax gets out of his bed and changes into his clothes, a green and yellow hoodie with black sweatpants. He opens his door to see Frisk running down the stairs.
"Frisk wait up! I don't want you eating all the Pie this time!" Pax yells as he runs down the stairs. At the table he sees his dad and his Step-mom, Toriel, eating breakfast. The one thing that interests him is the slice of pie by his chair. He picks it up and puts it into a plastic bag and proceeds to leave the house, "Ok I'm off to school, bye Mom, Bye Dad!"
"Oh I wish he would stay long enough to bring Frisk to school." Toriel says.
"Aww don't worry Tori, Pax has to have his reasons. Just trust him, okay?" Toriel nods. Suddenly Frisk gets up and runs out the door and catches up to Pax.
"Oh hey Frisk. It seems you were in a hurry this time. You eager to see her too?" Frisk nods with a smile. Pax laughs and calls out, "Chara! We're here, you can visit now." Suddenly Chara appears.
"Hey guys! Off to school again?"
"You know it babe." Pax says as he grabs Chara and hugs her.
"I wish you wouldn't be so upfront in front of Frisk." Chara giggles. Frisk just smiles and laughs.
"Sorry Chara. Oh how has Asriel been?"
"Oh you mean Flowey? Yeah, I've kind of been making some progress, he finally doesn't cower in fear, so I guess that's good."
"Hey don't worry Char, it's probably the most progress anyone's ever made with him this way. Way to go." Pax says. "Hey Frisk how about you continue to school, I'll be right behind you. Me and Chara have to talk." Frisk crosses their arms and pouts.
"Aww come on Frisk, hey tell you what. I promise after school, me, Pax, and you can go to the toy store." Frisk thinks about it and nods, running off to school.
"Hey Chara… Thank you…"
"Whatever for Pax?" Chara asks.
"For resetting the timeline… well resetting my timeline… thanks for helping Frisk get us out of there. Thanks just for being, well, you. These past few months have been amazing, and with you they are even more."
"No Pax, thank you. Without you I could've probably been killing monsters over and over again. But you, you saw me… you took me out of that darkness, and now I can be here free. Even if only you and Frisk can see me. It's still nice to see everyone who once entrusted me with their hopes and dreams can have a better life." The two just stand there for a while staring into each other's eyes before Pax realizes something.
"OH CRAP. I almost forgot, I totally scored you some of Mom's Pie." Pax quickly takes off his book sack and takes out a smooshed up pie. "It's kind of smushed, but I thought you'd like it."
"Aw thanks Pax, you know you didn't really have to do this."
"No, I did. Trust me it's worth it. On a totally unrelated topic, how do you even eat, aren't you a spirit of some sort?"
"Do you really want to ruin this moment with a science question Pax?"
"No I guess…" Suddenly Chara's lips touch Pax's lips. They stay that way for a few minutes until Chara pulls away.
"Get to school Bonehead, you're almost late." Chara says giggling at Pax's face. Pax continues to the school as if he was floating. When he got there the late bell rung and he had to see the principal. When he entered the Principals office he smiled as he saw his Uncle behind the Principle's desk. Pax spent the next three hours dreaming about that kiss, he dreamed about the first time, he dreamed about this timeline.
Hey Guys, you can expect me to be off from Hiatus from Emerald's story in just a few short weeks. But real talk. I realize this story took a dark turn with Chara's surface child hood. This actualy happens, yes I know I'm stating the obvious; Never the less, if this is happening to you, please tell someone. Don't worry about what the consequences will be, because no matter what, if you don't try to stop it. You'll regret it your entire life. Please, don't ever think no one cares about you. If you see or suspect this is happening to someone, please do something about it as well. Don't be that one person that let's things happen so they can't be blamed for it later on. People are fragile things, and something fragile is obviously broken easily. Don't ever be someone who caused it to break or didn't stop it from breaking.
Anyways, sorry if this isn't what y'all like. I tried, but no one is perfect. Well, all of you have a good time, and remember that there are those who care 3
