Summery: After reset upon reset Frisk finally found a solution to bring Asriel back, but will her feelings place them both in danger?
New and old enemies appear, New friends made. How will they survive their new adventure from the underground to the Surface!
*This is my attempt to get back into the Writing world so please enjoy!
In the familiar darkness of the underground, A human child of about 13 sat inside a small room. Several options glowed in-front of her;
-Continue- -True Reset- -Quit-
She sighed as she had seen this scene at-least hundred times maybe way more. Reset after reset she had seen, acted, and spared.
A short skeleton wearing a blue coat with white fur lining the hood of it with a pair of black shorts, walks into the room.
"So Kiddo what'cha fixin to do?" He asks her as he leans against the wall behind her next to the doorway.
She gives a tired sigh, "I-I nearly found a way…" She replies before looking to the ground, "I can nearly bring him back… I am so close to bring Asriel back! I'm… just so close..."
The skeleton sighs a frown takes place of his usual smile as he sighs. "Frisk… is this really worth losing your soul for this? Do you really want to risk it for him!?"He asked worriedly to the human now named Frisk.
She looks up before she loudly spoke. "You don't understand Sans! He….He is my friend, I can't abandon him! I WONT ABANDON HIM!" she yelled before she turns her head to the now named Sans. Tears in her eyes as she looks at him. "And I… I think that I may have… fallen for him..." She continues with a light chuckle to her own pun.
Sans's eyes widen as he had noticed that Frisk had become more DETERMINED since her thirtieth reset, and it continued to grow more and more. He never even considered that her feelings would start to play a part in it.
His slight frowning face soon turned into his classic smile. "Well I guess I have to give you a Hand then eh?" Sans said as his eyes close. He opens them again as his left eye glows blue with a small flame blue flame covering it. "I got something to show you in that case, we will take my 'shortcut' alright?"
Frisk smiled as she got up and nodded her head to him before walking to him as he lifted his hand as he snapped his fingers and they were gone.
Frisk and Sans appeared a moment later in a room that appears to be a small lab Sans's eyes had returned to their normal white dot like eyes. In the room was a set of servers hooked up to a single active computer. There was lab equipment all around. Room was well lit with a couple of door ways one with a stairwell leading down with the word 'Generator' on a label, The other was unlabeled though it was closed with a door and a very complex keypad lock that looked to take fourty-six digits.
Sans walked over to the computer as he began to pull up files and information on it, his fingers taping away on the keyboard.
This lab was not as big as Alphys's lab or underground lab. But it sure was just as impressive.
"This place is my personal lab, I've uh had it since the I worked with the previous royal scientist, before he went missing… though uh no one but me, now us knows about it not even Papyrus, so please promise to me you wont tell anyone ok?" Sans asked, Frisk never wanting to betray her friends quickly replied. "Promise!" She chirply replied with a smile on her face
He snaps his his middle finger and thumb as a chair next to him and another next to Frisk, he takes a seat and swivels it around to face Frisk.
"So What'cha have figured out so far Frisk?" He asks his face took a serious look, something that Frisk had only seen once before, though last time she saw it, it was under different circumstances and none that were good.
Frisk took her own seat as she leaned back in it. Giving a long sigh as she recounted the numerous adventures through each reset she had gone through. She made a lot of good memories, and she made a lot of mistakes.
"Where do I begin… There was so much I tried, I even….tried….to..." She started to break down as she looked to the ground, "I tried to collect a monster soul… thinking that was the only way… I think you remember that run...but I couldn't finish it… it hurt so bad by the time I… it was never worth loosing all of you, Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, or you Sans." She cried as tears began to fall from her eyes.
Sans stood up and walked to her placing both hands onto her shoulders causing her to look up, the second she did he pulled her into a hug. "It's ok buddy, I should have been lookin out for ya more that time, it's my fault you fell into such a dire desire to do anything you had to nearly, But I won't let that ever happen again ok? I'm here for you Frisk. I won't break my promise again to protect you like I failed to that time." He spoke as a tear fell from his own eye sockets. "Also I forgive you, Ive had a lot of time to think about that and you reset so much since then and never attempted to do it again. So I forgive you."He replies sincerely as he keeps his arms wrapped around her.
Over the countless resets, Frisk had become more than just a person he protected because of a promise, She became like a little sister, or a niece. She was family to everyone, Toriel had become a mother like figure to Frisk, Papyrus had become a Brother, Undyne a Big sister to Frisk.
Frisk cried into his coat, before her own arms wrapped around him returning the hug.
"Thank you… Thank you so much Sans I wish I had the courage to ask you for help sooner, If only I hadn't been so determined to do it my self." She cried out into his coat, Even though it was muffled somewhat he knew exactly what she was saying.
"Hehe, but if you weren't so Determined you wouldn't have been able to try as hard as you did, I'm glad your so Determined."He replied as he continued to let her cry and let out all the pent up pain and guilt she had stored from that, She never tried to speak about it since the run.
She needed to let off some built up emotions she had held back through each run.
Frisk had done so much even though some may consider her actions selfish but he saw them as the old prophecy foretold. An Angle who would save them ALL of them, and saving everyone but the one person she cared about wasn't everyone it was Most of them.
After about twelve minutes frisk slowly calmed down and called back her tears, pushing her self off of Sans and pulling her self out of the hug. She had seen countless varied endings of the route she chose, but when she pressed TRUE RESET it hurt her, because to press it felt like she betrayed everyone. Resealing them into the mountain, Wiping their memories, breaking bonds, all for her desire to revive her best friend, and the monster- no they are not monsters, No matter how much they call them selves that, they are people too, they may look different but a monster is cruel. But she would save the person she loved the most.
"I-I think we have wasted enough time being off-track..." She managed to get out while still sniffling from all the crying she had done, Sans walks off for a moment and grabs a tissue box before walking over to Frisk and offer her the tissues.
Frisk took a couple of tissues and thanked Sans before using one to blow her nose.
She sat back down and began to call her previous runs to pool all the information she gathered to hopefully bring Asriel back.
She made it a goal to make each run unique in a way, So she did something different with Asriel after the fifth reset. That was how she labeled each reset she had to do.
For instance, for reset Twelve Asriel and Frisk tended to flowers while having a light talk.
Another Reset they shared stories of their past, of some good times and a few bad times.
On one of the more recent Reset runs she went on, She instead of giving him a hug… she… she….
Her face went bright red with embarrassment, instead of hugging him before they went their ways… she kissed him… that was reset number ninety-eight. She was a courageous little one that run.
Sans's eye shifted around some, from the right angle it looks like he tried to raise an invisible eyebrow.
"What got you so tomato-ed faced?" He asks, realizing that her face was red. Frist's eyes widen and her hands went up and she waved them around infront of her. "N-Nothing! Nothing at all!" She yelled out still red in the face.
'Oh jeeze! I really hope my reset affects Asriel… I don't know what I would do if he remembers that!' Frisk prayed, if any memories were wiped she hoped only that one was wiped at the least.
Frisk shook her head clearing it and the red off her face as she thought back further to one of her early runs, she had talk to an old tortoise monster about Boss Monsters.
"When Boss Monsters have an offspring, the Soul Power of the parents flows into the child… causing the child to grow as the parents age." Gerson said back then.
That was it, thats why Asriel is able to be sustained as long in his form as he can!
The Soul Power of Toriel and Asgore is flowing into him, because hes ALIVE again! That means this is also the key to saving him. Looking at a clock in the room there was not a whole lot of time left.
She looks towards Sans her eyes burn with DETERMINATION.
"Sans… You remember how Boss Souls Are affected after having a child?" She asked with a serious tone in her voice.
Sans did remember, but what did that have to do…with… Asriel…
Asriel… was the son of Toriel and Asgore… Asgore was a Boss Monster… meaning that the Boss Souls of Toriel and Asgore were transferring Soul Power into Asriel! Their souls were prolonging his change back into a flower. Though this is temporary as he doesn't have a means to store their power since he died he lost his original soul.
"I swear kiddo you seem too smart to be a young child. You sure you are not some mid-aged scientist?" Sans Replies with his smart alec remark.
Frisk gave a light chuckle before sitting back in her seat. "You probably already figured out that its only a temporary solution though...since he no longer has his original soul or in this case a soul vessel to contain the power..." She said. "However… I think with Alphys's help we can make a Soul Vessel… by using my soul...as a template."
San's eye sockets were wide his pupils nearly gone from all sight. This was extremely dangerous, its not just risky with possible damage to her soul even if everything going right...it could either end up with her soul completely destroyed erasing her completely from existance… or it could kill her with no way to LOAD back in or even RESET. This was terrifying for Sans… he said he would help but to thin of this… it scared him to no end.
"F-Frisk I don't think this is a good idea… It's too dangerous!" He exclaimed with fear in his voice. He really didn't know what to do… hes going to help as best as he can but… it didn't help to be absolutely afraid of loosing her. She is family after all! If he didn't help though he felt like he would regret it forever.
"I understand that Sans… but we are out of time… either we make a Soul Vessel using my soul as a template… or I try to split my soul and give him part of it… I've come to accept the worst already that could happen. I need to do this Sans… If I don't… I will lose him again! I can not stand that again!" She yelled with a mixture of emotions flowing through her voice.
Sans Sighs, "Nothing I say...or do will stop you...or get you to change your mind will it?" He asks slighly depressed from the situation at hand.
"No." Frisk replied.
Sans sighs once more as he pulls his phone out and dialed a phone number in. It rang for several moments before someone answered.
"Hey Alphys I need a favor." "W-What is it Sans?" "I need you to prepare a room for a Soul Vessel operation..." "W-WHAT? Sans! Do you have any idea what your asking for?! D-Do you even know what that entails?!" "Yes I do know what it entails however its very important Alphys..." "… Who is it for..." "I.. I can't tell you over the phone… but meet me at your lab… just you… I will tell you more there..." "When does this need to be done can it wait a while?" "When? No it can't wait… it needs to be done Now." "a-Alright… I'm heading to the lab now then..." "Alright...Thanks." He hung up the phone as he looked towards Frisk
"Ready?" He asks as he is walking up to Frisk. Frisk looks at him and give him a nod as she stands up from her chair, and suddenly the was a snap and they were gone once again in a blink of an eye. Leaving no trace they were there with the exception of two chairs. Not that anyone would find his lab.
Appearing a moment later inside Alyphs's Lab, They walked into an operating room where Alphys was preparing the operating table for working with or on a Soul Vessel.
Alphys was wearing her Lab coat over her Yellow scaly body, glasses donned on her face.
She turned around upon hearing the door open. "T-That was fast Sans..." She started as she saw Sans, however her eyes soon noticed Frisk with him. "..F-Frisk?! W-What is Frisk doing here Sans?" Alphys asked surprised to see Frisk here since He asked her to come alone.
Sans with his normal classic smile spoke up. "Well… Frisk is the one is truly requested help from you…" He started however his face took a more serious look. "Frisk wants you to make a Soul Vessel based off hers so she can save Asriel the Son of King Asgore and Queen Toriel. She figured out a way since he was revive temporarily in the last fight she had." Sans spoke monotonously. "So She needs you to perform a Soul operation on her Soul Vessel to create a copy of it."
Alphys's eyes widen she got worried instantly upon hearing this. "F-Frisk! D-Dont you know how dangerous this is! Y-You could DIE!" Alphys exclaimed loudly, There had to be another way right?
"Alphys we don't have much time left… If I don't do this I will lose him!" Frisk pressed with her own Determination.
"A-Are you sure about this...I need to know you are absolutely sure before I can help you..." Alphys asked needing to hear Frisk confirm this with her own words.
"Yes. Im absolutely Sure." Frisk replied instantly giving it no more thought.
Alphys sighed, "O-ok then, Sans can you make sure no one bothers us… I can lock the door but it wont stop someone from trying to findout.. nor would it stop Undyne… I will need to concentrate on this for a while. Ok?" Alphys asked.
"Sure thing." He replied before teleporting in a blink of an eye. Alphys putting that aside looked to Frisk. "A-Alright come lie down so I can get started, I'll need to put you under for the whole ordeal as it can be painful and it makes it easier to access the soul." She said as she walked up to the table leading Frisk.
-With Sans-
Sans appeared on a loft of flowers right infront of a small goat like child causing said child to fall back and land on his rear, Startled and surprised he backed up a bit more before he spoke.
"W-What? Who are you!" The child shouted at the skeleton before him.
"Hmm. Did-ya bump your head or something Kiddo? To forget Little old me?" Sans asked sarcasticly. The child looked at the Skeleton before him, when he remembered that this was the skeleton who worked for the old royal scientist! He had seen him a few times and talk to him a once or twice as well!
"S-Sans?!" He then remembered Sans was a good friend of Frisk. "What did Frisk send you to try and bring me with you all to the surface! I already said I can't!" He shouted.
Sans shook his head with his eyes closed how ever when he opened his eye sockets his left eye was blue. "We need to have a little talk...Asriel." He spoke with a serious tone of voice as the air started to quickly chill
Asriel tried to swallow the knot that had found its way in his throat.
"A-About what?" He asked feeling like if he spoke out of line he wouldn't live the little bit of his life left.
Sans walked up to Asriel standing right over him as he blinks and his eyes turn back to normal. He sighed as he sat down infront of him. "Frisk… has made a very dangerous for her-self to save you… She is currently laying on an operating table with a chance she… a chance to die for good..." he spoke with a slightly broken and worried voice.
"What?! Why dont you stop her th-" Asriel shut up immediately as Sans's eye turned back to blue.
"If I could I would!" He started his eye turned back to normal. "But I would not beable to stop this even if I wanted. If it was not this way it was another that was much more dangerous...atleast she has a chance this way..." Sans spoke stilled worried.
"Why… Why is she doing this all for me! I told her to just forget about me!" Asriel cried out as tears started to fall.
"She...Well in her own words I believe she told me. 'I won't abandon my friend...I CAN'T ABANDON AND FORGET HIM!' sounds about right." Sans spoke, Now it wasn't all true. He added the Cant forget him bit but it sounded nice to him.
"Listen As," Sans started looking at Asriel. "She cares for you deeply it seems, If...If things work out and everything goes fine… Promise me you will never make her regret saving you… and you'll always protect her." He requested. Sans rarely asked anyone to make a promise.
Asriel looked down before looking back at Sans. "I...I promise." Asriel replied. Sans smiled before he stood up and walked away vanishing instantly leaving Asriel alone.
"Frisk… Please don't die…not after everything you have done for us monsters." he said to him self.
-Alphys's lab-
Alphys was working carefully but quickly on Frisk's soul to get ready to create the duplicate Soul Vessel she had no idea how it would affect a boss monster but it may work even though its based around a human's soul.
She reached for a blunt strange tool but it slipped from her hand and hit Frisk's Soul breaking off a small fragment off.
Alphys Scrambled to grab the fragment and place it back but by the time she got it something strange happened.
Frisk's soul Regenerated the missing fragment! "W-What?! How is… no this is not the time to ask that. I need to finish up." She said placing the fragment into a container and continuing the work.
-Two Hours later-
Alphys wiped her brow of sweat as she lets out a sigh of breath that she felt like was held in since she started. Other than the single incident involving the fragment earlier things went surprisingly well. Frisk's soul was way more durable than she expected.
She looked over at a container that contained a freshly created Soul Vessel that she just finished creating, Still curious about its effects on a monster she was worried that it would fail but… she placed her faith into Frisk's plan.
"I-I guess its time to wake Frisk up then..."
-Back with Asriel-
His time was soon out and would return to a flower. He couldn't relax though he was agitated ever since he talked to Sans about Frisk. He was worried. No not just worried Afraid… Afraid to lose a friend even though they just met. He felt like they were more than normal friends, he felt like as if they had known each other for years and were best friends… like with how he thought Him and Chara was.
Chara… that was a messed up child… 'I was so naive back then...' Asriel though. Chara used him and he found out when he fused with Chara's soul. 'He...He wanted only to use my powers to kill everyone…' He thought again with a sigh.
He looks back up where he was sitting only to fall backwards and bump his head on the hard ground.
"Sans! Stop doing that! What is it you want this time?" Asriel shouted to Sans who had just arrived on the flower bed again.
Sans's eyes looked down and broken. "Someone wants to have a word with you, please come with me..." Sans spoke, his voice void of all emotions.
This frightened Asriel… Instead of wasting time he knew he didn't have he jumped up and walked up to the skeleton. Sans just stood there as he teleported them away.
-Alphys's lab-
They appeared in a room with a door open that had the words Operating room above it. Sans as quickly as he came turned and started to walk away his footsteps being the only sound in the building.
Alphys walked out of the operating room and noticed Asriel. "O-Oh you m-must be Asriel..." She said as she walked up to him.
"P-Please follow me..." She spoke worriedly. Asriel followed her into the operating room,
There on the table was Frisk. Motionless. "F-Frisk is a good friend of yours I hear..." She said
"W-Well the operation was a success but… She wont wake up… She is alive but… in a coma..." Alphys said looking to the ground. Asriel was shooken up by this he was afraid she died… but this was just as bad in his eyes…
"W-What…will she… will she ever wake up?" Asriel asked
Alphys sighed. "I-I don't know..." she replied. However she was having a different thought. 'I-I don't like this… It don't feel right...' thought Alphys as she walked away and picked up a container.
"T-This is the Soul Vessel Frisk had me make so you could live on…"
Alphys unsealed the container and handed the Soul Vessel over to Asriel.
"H-Here… She told me to get this to you before we started no matter what, if it failed I was to...give you what I could salvage from her soul… but luckily we wont have to do that though!" Alphys said with some happiness.
"I..." Asriel started to say but couldn't find the words. If anyone had been looking closely at Frisk they would have noticed an eye barely open watching Asriel closely.
"P-Please take it… Frisk would be upset at me if you didn't take it and live..." Alphys pleaded.
Asriel Sighs as he takes the Soul Vessel looking down at it… before he slams it into his chest, it slides into his body as a pain fills his body. The Soul Power of his parents slowly starting to fill the vessel, not long after the pain stops. Asriel on his hands and Knees panting as the pain let off.
"W-What happened?" He asked
"I-It seems it worked, but it had to forcibly fill the vessel with Soul Power that was forcibly changed to match your old soul..." She said.
He looks down at his soul, A red outlined soul with a White center.
Frisk who is lying on the table smiled as she quietly sat up with a smirk growing on her face.
"Howdy! Asriel are you there…?" Asriel turned around at the voice seeing Frisk sitting on the side of the table.
"It's me! Your best-" She was cut off by Asriel jumping on her and hugging her. "Y-You! I-Idiot!" He cried out as she smiled wrapping her arms around him. "Welcome back Asriel… welcome home." She said as he cried.
Sans walks into the door way a smile on his face and a light chuckle.
Frisk looked down to Asriel. "Sorry for giving you such a scare about the 'coma' thing, I couldn't resist playing a small prank on you to welcome you back." She said
In all honesty though it was partially true… he played a cruel prank on her once in a previous run. He had made it look like he turned into a flower while she wasn't looking by placing a Flower carefully into the ground where he sat and hid. Frisk was not happy about that.
Sans walked up to them smiling, his arms into his coat. "So What now Frisk?" Sans asked her.
"Well… I never thought this far ahead… because I honestly didn't expect to survive..." She said with a light chuckle, though everyone else looked at her with a sweatdrop on their head.
"But if I had to take a guess… I think we should surprise Toriel and Asgore!" She exclaimed.
Asriel paled at this. Oh how was he going to explain this to his parents….
"Sans have everyone meet us at the Ruins, also if you don't mind take me and Asriel to the flower bed before Toriel's house will you?" Frisk asked.
"Sure thing." He said walking to the two children. "Hey Alphys ill let you get Undyne but try not to spoil the secret ok?" He said as the three of them vanished.
Alphys sighed. Oh Undyne would try so hard to find out why she had to cancel their date for some work. "T-This is not going to be fun..." She said to her self as she turned out the lights. The only thing left glowing inside the room was a Container with the Soul Fragment of frisk. It suddenly grew a bit as she left leaving a curious mystery to be solved another time.
-Flower Bed-
Asriel, Frisk, and Sans appeared on the flower bed. "Take care you two!" Sans said before he vanished with phone inhand.
"We should give him a moment to notify everyone and for everyone to arrive..." Frisk said as she turned to Asriel.
Asriel was looking at the ground… "Hey Frisk… I was thinking about it earlier… what… brought you to the underground?" He asked.
Oh, she had not expected that question in a long time. "o-oh you want… to know about that..." She replied not really excited to explain…
She hoped that the reason of why would have faded away since she first arrived.
"If you don't want to tell me that's fine I was just curious." He said looking up at her.
She sighed as she sat down. "It's fine I should have expected this to be asked sooner or later… Well, I am not going to say it lightly. I was miserable up there on the surface with other humans. I never knew my parents, I lived on the streets for most of my life. There was a few humans that were nice to me. Mostly elderly." She said as her hand touched her sweater. "In fact… before I came here this elderly woman gave this to me. It was winter at the time and she said I should stay warm this time of the year. I thanked her for it before going on my way." she spoke
"However even though some people were nice to me not everyone was… No one wanted to sale me food, I had to dig through the garbage most of the time to find food. Other kids would bully me and try to hurt me. It was how I got so good at dodging I guess." Frisk looked down at the ground.
"No family wanted to take me in… I never knew why but I figured it had something to do with who my parents were, I did learn they had died just after a while when I was born." She continued
"I decided that since Mt. Ebott was filled with rumors saying if you fell in you would guarantee your death. So I traveled there… and I fell into the mountain hoping it would all end. I never hated humanity but I hated that I couldn't be happier." She said.
"Then you know the rest." She finished. "Frisk...I… didn't know...I'm sorry..." Asriel said but Frisk just waved it off.
"It's fine, besides if it wasn't for all that I wouldn't have met any of you!" She replied looking so happy. "You all are my family now… and my friends! I couldn't be any happier right now." She said.
Suddenly Sans appeared in the room again "Heya everyone is waiting you two!" he spoke.
"We will come through the front door so go meet up with them we are on our way."
Frisk said as she stood up. "Alrighty then kiddo see you there." he replied as he vanished as he came.
"How does he do that Frisk?" Asriel asked Frisk just shrugged. "Don't know but come on everyone is waiting!" She said grabbing Asriel's hand and pulling him along. "H-Hey slow down frisk!" he shouted.
-Toriel's Home in the ruins-
Sans walked in the living room, where Undyne, Alphys,Papyrus,Mettaton,Toriel, and Asgore were all at. Toriel noticing Sans, stood up from her seat. "Did you find Frisk Sans?" She asked worriedly since Frisk had not arrived yet.
"Yeah, She will be here shorty… She was flowering about." He said, Papyrus though glared at Sans as Toriel lightly laughed at the pun.
"SANS! ENOUGH OF YOUR HORRIBLE JOKES!" Papyrus shouted. "Ah c'mon bro! You know they are all tear-ariffic!" He said as he pulled a piece of paper and tore it while he spoke. Toriel sudden bursted into laughing as Asgore groaned. "Please Sans stop it with the jokes..." He asked.
"oh but it seems Toriel is having a Goat of a time!" He said laughing at his own joke. Toriel was on her knees holding her stomach laughing hard. Undyne had to hold Asgore back as he tried to charge at Sans. Laughing at the whole ordeal.
However everyone suddenly stopped when the door opened.
"Hey everyone!" Frisk said as she walked in. "I got someone you should all meet!" She said waving her arm to someone outside. As the person shyly walked in…
"H-Howdy..." He said. As Asriel walked into the door way for the living room and the entrance. Toriel stared with her eyes wide, Asgore couldn't believe it him self.
"S-Son?" Asgore spoke first… "Is it really you?" He asked in disbelief.
Asriel was about to just say yes, but the urge to say something else.. was much greater… as he smile he opened his mouth.
"I'm ASRIEL as it gets!" He replied before blushing at what he said. Sans chuckled as Toriel Started to cry with laughter and happiness before saying. "That's my boy!" Asgore though was held back from attacking Sans again. "YOU'VE CORRUPTED MY CHILD WITH THOSE HORRIBLE JOKES OF YOURS!" Undyne started to laugh at Asgore's rage.
Asriel was home… The Prince was home again.
End of chapter one; The saving of a prince.
Chapter Two: Surface of love?
This chapter took me 4 days to write, With distracts such as Final fantasy and reading.
I looked and read through other undertale fanficts and theories, and I chose one that I found only 1 comic of Based off of GLITCHTALE Series from Youtube,
A Soul Vessel idea combined with the idea that Asriel can't die once hes revived due to how boss souls worked to make this new twist.
I have no one to proof read but I hope you enjoy as I get better I will re-write all my chapters one by one.
Please leave a like and a review! And Favorite if you liked it.
