Dust to Dust
Chara felt her blackness lift slowly. She felt herself levitate into the air, her SOUL seeming to flow straight into something else. Her consciousness was bound to it, but she felt whatever it was pull her forcefully. She struggled to escape, but her SOUL was already caught.
She had been dead, resting after she had tried, tried oh so hard to save them, but to no true avail. Her fears and hatred had overwhelmed her and it was all he could do to prevent her from ruining it all for them.
Tendrils of blackness wrapped around her spectral arms and legs within her consciousness, binding her as she began to see images; images of what looked like a human… a human that seemed to resemble her. Her fears and hatred of humanity surfaced, causing her to struggle further as she tried to break free, but the dark things holding her pulled more, holding her tight.
Her confusion came full circle as she saw that this human didn't feel… human. There was an empty husk almost, something Chara became terrified of. She could feel… nothing from this human.
Suddenly, she saw something walking towards her in the blackness she was held in. It made slow, methodical steps toward her, its outline slowly becoming clear as she saw it. Her heart, which she wasn't sure how it was there (perhaps it was just her SOUL), was beating rapidly as her red eyes widened in panic as she saw it.
It was the human from the images, dressed in a sweater of blue and purple that was almost a mockery of her own. The human's hair was cut similarly, but not exactly, like Chara's own. The eyes, however, were brown, one of the two features that were distinctly different. Her skin was the other, being a more yellowish tone to Chara's near albino shade of pale.
"Wh-What do you want with me?" Chara asked, trying to keep her voice steady. The sixteen year old looked at this human that looked… almost like a pale imitation of her with fear and horror.
"I'm here to take what should have been take long ago," The human said in a sick, twisted voice, one that made Chara struggle a little harder to escape her bindings, only to find she was held fast, the human walking up to her with a smile that shook Chara to her core. If she still had organs, she would have urinated herself from the fear this human made her feel, which was truly something that Chara would never have expected such a small human to be able to accomplish. Black tears, almost symbolic of her ghostly state, streaked down her face as she tried to just curl into a ball and avoid the look this human was giving her.
"What's wrong?" The human asked, looking at her. "Aren't you excited?"
"I-I want to go home," Chara said the words she'd never expected to hear come from her mouth as she let out a sob.
"Well, I suppose we're going to go there." The human let out a little giggle. Chara felt her fear rise at the simple action of a giggle. It sounded… insane, psychotic even. Chara just wanted to be home, be back in her warm bed with… she continued to sob as she knew it would never be the same… not without him.
The human disappeared, almost surprising Chara. She was suddenly given what seemed like a view of the human, both from her own eyes and from near the human. The human was in what looked like a field of flowers. Chara had seen several similar in her home, but this one resembled one she knew from the RUINS.
A little flower with a smiling face Chara felt an… odd sense towards popped up and moved back and forth. It looked at the human, laughing.
"Howdy," It said. "I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower. Nice ta meetcha."
The human walked by, ignoring the flower (who then burrowed under the ground) reaching a Froggit. The Froggit ribbited, hopping up to the human. Chara felt an unknown panic rise in her chest, the sixteen year old unable to determine where it came from. She felt herself dragged forward, out of the solitude and into the area where the human was, still fully bound and held by what seemed like a spectral leash coming from the human.
Chara's panic increased as she saw the human strike the Froggit with a stick, turning it into dust. A tear ran down Chara's face at the vile act. The human seemed emotionless, undisturbed by the act. While Chara would want to kill humans, she would never even think of harming, much less killing, a monster. It was the most horrifying act she had ever seen.
She wanted to throw up, watching this human step through the dust of the Froggit, her (at least Chara assumed it was a girl from the giggle) shoes getting a few flecks of white on them. In her assumed solitude, bound to witness the monstrosity of this human, she sobbed once, hoping that no other monsters found their way into this human's path.
To her horror, several more monsters stumbled upon this vile human. Chara was forced to watch as they were turned into dust, covering this child a bit more. Now, some of their pants were covered in the dust. Black tears now continuously ran down Chara's face, the sixteen year old clenching her eyes shut, but the images were burned into her mind. Even with her eyes closed, however, she couldn't escape the sight of the human.
Eventually, Chara caught sight of a monster she knew wouldn't be able to bring herself to defend against this human. The second monster Chara had ever encountered. Chara could still remember the smell of her fur and dress; still feel the warmth of her hugs. See the smile that was always in those crimson orbs of her eyes.
"Mom, ru—" Chara tried to shout to the monster, but the blackness wrapped around her mouth, immediately silencing her.
"Not like it'd do you any good, but I'd rather not hear your screams in my ear just yet." The human giggled again, Chara struggling to free herself to warn her adoptive mother of the danger she was in. "She won't hear you. But, I brought you out so you could see in an… up close and personal way. I figured some monsters deserve you to see it firsthand."
Chara struggled in vain to free herself from this human's grasp to escape and warn her adoptive mother. She began crying once again as the human walked up to Chara's mother.
"Oh, dear," The got like monster said. "Another child has fallen down. Well, little one, let me take you home. My name is Toriel. What is yours?"
The human remained silent, Chara figuring that the voice coming from her was enough to put any monster on edge. Toriel led the human through the Ruins, eventually making it to a long room.
"I shall be back." She said, patting the human. "Then, I will help you get that dust off of you. A clean child is a happy child."
"Seems it's time you go back in." The human giggled, Chara feeling herself being yanked back into the blackness, letting her see from the human's eyes.
Chara felt the blackness remove itself from her mouth, allowing her sobs to loudly escape as she pleaded with this human to spare her mother.
"Why?" The human asked. "After all, she's a monster."
Chara's eyes widened as she realized this wasn't just a few killings… it was genocide.
"Please… no." Chara said, tears streaking down her face again. "Don't kill them. I'll… I'll do anything."
"This isn't a matter of compensation." The human giggled once again, giving a smile that made every hair on Chara's neck stand up. It was abhorrently terrifying and Chara could feel the pure hatred and evil behind it. This human… looked less like a human than when she'd first encountered her. "It's a matter of extermination. Besides, who said you were the one in control?"
Chara struggled, knowing what she needed to do.
"Please don't kill my mom." She pleaded, bowing her head in shame as she couldn't do anything. Her reddish brown hair fell forward, making her less human looking, but only since she had longer hair than when she first fell.
"I'm guessing you're not gonna like what happens." The human giggled louder as Chara slumped more in her bonds, simply being forced to watch as the human traipsed through the underground, killing any Froggit, Whismur, Moldsmal, or Lox she came across. The dust was on more of her pants now as she made it to Toriel's house.
"Oh, there you are." Toriel said, taking the human by the hand. "It seems you have more dust on you. I'll need to wash that off really well so you don't get it everywhere."
She showed the human to a room where she was led into a room with a single twin bed.
"Wait," Chara thought to herself. "Where's his bed? Is it… a different place?"
"This is your room," Toriel said. "Enjoy and I'll get the bath ready for you."
The human let out a smile that Chara shrank under as she appeared next to Chara.
"Tensing up for what's about to happen?" The child asked, Chara trying her best to glare. But, with her tear stained face, she didn't look very intimidating; only pathetic and lost.
"Oh, don't worry." The human giggled. "She won't feel it for long."
"You… You…" Chara tried to say, but the human put a finger over Chara's lips.
"Best not use your words yet." The human said, giving that smile that put any 'creepy face' Chara had given to shame. "After all, she's not going to be the last."
"She'll… she'll stop you." Chara said.
"No she won't." The human snickered. "She can't. It's not like she fights much."
"You… you demon." Chara said.
"Time will tell." The human said in a chilling voice, different than the previous.
Chara tried to struggle more as she wanted to just be away from this being. She also wanted to stop her, but she knew she had no power to do so. This… thing had a latch on her SOUL, binding it and potentially using it to her advantage.
The human began to leave the room, heading down the stairs. Chara knew this led to the entrance to Snowdin. She knew this would let this human into the entirety of the rest of the underground. Her only hope was that it was locked.
"My child," Toriel's voice came from behind them. "You mustn't go there. It's dangerous. Come back and we'll be happy here."
The human continued walking, reaching for the door as a fireball shot in front of her, hitting the door.
"It's… it's not safe." Toriel said, her hand smoking a little from the fireball.
The child gave that sickening smile, which actually put Toriel a bit on edge. The child pulled out her stick, Chara shouting and pleading as she watched it. The human walked closer to Toriel, who simply stood there. Chara watched in pure horror as the human made one slash at Toriel. Immediately, Toriel's entire body was rattled, a huge gash opening up as the look of shock and horror on her face was fixed.
"It… seems." Chara heard her voice say, weakening as she felt her fade. "I was protecting… them after all."
And, with that being said, Toriel turned to dust, the human walking over it and stomping on it.
Chara let out an anguished sob, tears gushing from her face as she watched her mother die, right in front of her eyes.
"Don't lose all your tears yet." The human giggled. "We're not near done yet."
Chara continued to sob as the human, now covered in more dust, walked out into Snowdin.
The human came to a gate, immediately turning her head as she saw a skeleton walk up from behind.
"Don't you know how to greet a new pal?" He asked, holding out his hand. Chara could detect some menace in his voice, but couldn't determine what it was. She knew that this skeleton was odd though. The human looked at the skeleton, reacting by saying nothing.
"Eh, whatever." The skeleton shrugged. "Anyway, my brother ain't never seen a human before. So, could ya pretend for a bit?"
Chara's eyes looked up at this. If this skeleton knew this human was so inhuman, would he be strong enough to stop her? The skeleton walked away, almost teleporting as the human continued to walk through, her prisoner still struggling to break free.
Later
The human continued to walk through the snowy area, cutting down any and all monsters in her path. The once decently bustling area became silent, the sound of silence haunting Chara more than anything. She watched as the human, now covered in quite a bit more dust, made it to Snowdin Town. It too was silent, not a soul about as it seemed it was deserted.
The human, seemingly knowing no monsters were around, walked through the town, Chara watching with hope that there were none. She could not escape her prison and the human knew that. She had slowly been torturing the sixteen year old with some slow deaths, including innocent monsters being killed… ones that were too scared to put up a fight.
Eventually, at the edge of Snowdin itself, in the fog of the snowy area, the human encountered Papyrus, the brother of the skeleton form earlier. Chara liked him because he was so nice and loved puzzles. Now, she realized it was come time for him to die. The very thought filled her with genuine sorrow.
"HUMAN, OR WHATEVER YOU ARE!" Papyrus said, standing there. "I WANT TO SOLVE PUZZLES WITH YOU, BUT… YOU'RE SUCH A WEIRDO."
Chara looked at him, beginning to get the notion that this skeleton wasn't as naïve or playful as she thought.
"I MEAN, YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT THIS WEIRD DUST ON YOU." Papyrus said, Chara seeing a slight dark blue light in his eyes. She thought he was realizing just what this 'human' was capable of.
"HOWEVER, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, BELIEVE THAT ALL YOU NEED IS A HUG. SO, I WILL OPEN MY ARMS TO YOU NOW, HUMAN!" Papyrus said, opening his arms. The 'human' walked up, striking him with a knife she'd found. Chara's face was frozen in horror as she was forced to watch Papyrus' head fall to the ground, the rest of his body dust.
"WELL… THAT COULD HAVE GONE BETTER." Papyrus said. "BUT, I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU, HUMAN. I BELIEVE YOU COULD—"
The 'human' stepped on Papyrus' head, crushing it into dust. Chara began to sob, watching as the innocence that was Papyrus faded away.
The 'human' was almost up to her neck in dust, less of her shirt showing at this point.
"Oh, don't be sad," She giggled, standing next to Chara in her prison. "It was quick, so he didn't suffer all that much. Now, just close your eyes and watch as I go through the next two areas."
Chara noticed the 'human's voice was even darker, more distorted than before.
Chara once again tried to break free, managing to make the motion of a step toward the human, but the blackness of hatred pulled her back, holding her fast.
"Time to keep going." The human giggled, walking into Waterfall.
Later
Stomping through the monsters in Waterfall, Chara kept noticing this monster child that followed the 'human'. She tried yelling out, trying to get the monster child to run, but to no avail.
The 'human' ignored the monster child, seemingly not wanting to slow down to hurt them just yet. Though, trying to avoid Undyne was also a problem the 'human' was contending with.
Chara watched as they reached the bridge that led to Hotland. The monster child was back, walking up to the 'human' as they tripped, having no arms to catch themselves.
"U-Undyne said some things to me…" The monster child said, stepping closer in a very timid manner, but seeming to gain some confidence. "Sh-She said you hurt a lot of people… so… for the sake of the Underground… I-I will fight you and d-defeat you."
Chara had to admit this child was brave, doing something that would inevitably lead to their death, but she had to admire the courage. The 'human' gave that sinister smile that made Chara quake, immediately turning the monster child's expression to one of pure terror. Chara watched as the 'human' struck the child… only for Undyne to take the blow.
"Undyne!" Chara exclaimed, shock and terror in her face as flashbacks came to her mind. She saw the child version of Undyne run into her father's throne room demanding a battle. Her father, being the softy he was, obliged, but didn't even attack her. Eventually, Undyne got tired, but she kept coming back over and over. Even when Chara and he joined in, they couldn't knock her father down and even then he didn't attack back. Afterwards, he'd grab them in a big hug with Toriel joining in and laughing.
"Undyne!" The voice of the monster child brought Chara back to the present. Undyne looked at them.
"Why didn't you run?" She asked. "You gotta listen."
Chara watched as Undyne began to turn to dust. She looked down, feeling depressed. Undyne was probably the best chance the Underground had against this demon. An emptiness she hadn't acknowledged, had been there since Toriel had died and it now grew a little larger.
The 'human' smirked, turning and walking towards the cave into Hotland.
"Hold it right there, you little shit." A voice that shocked Chara and the 'human' spoke, the 'human turning. Standing there was Undyne, alive and whole, but decorated in a shining black armor with a white heart. In her hand was a powerful spear that looked as if it could pierce the heavens. DETERMINATION was bursting from the hole in her missing eye. She gave the 'human' a glare that would have made Chara's blood run cold if it were directed at her.
"You're not going anywhere." Undyne said, rushing for the 'human' and actually managing to land a hit on her. The human coughed out blood as Undyne launched dozens of spears at her. Several of them impaled the 'human', leaving Chara to hope it was the end and she was dead. Some had even pierced her heart and brain. Chara screamed in pain as she felt the spears. Since her SOUL was tied to the 'human', she could somehow feel the pain inflicted on her.
However, as Undyne watched, the human's head snapped back into normalcy, the spears all shattering.
Undyne watched in horror as the blood dripped from the various holes in the 'human's' body. Even Chara was shocked, the 'human' walking toward Undyne with that sinister grin on her face. There was a murderous intent in her eyes as she walked toward Undyne, the warrior staring her down.
The human rushed for Undyne, the two clashing in a flurry of slashes, showing the sheer speed and strength of both. However, there was one thing this 'human' had on Undyne: a far larger array of DETERMINATION. Eventually, Undyne's regenerated body began to wear down, melting like some odd things Chara had seen that her father had told her to ignore because it was a bit dangerous.
After some time, Undyne's body was half melted and she panted as she looked at the 'human'.
"While we were having this fight," She gave that cocky smirk Chara had always known. "Alphys managed to get nearly every monster out of here and to the CORE. You lose, freak."
The 'human' looked at Undyne, letting out a laugh that managed to take Undyne aback.
"If you think that's all I'm here for," She said in a voice Chara felt was even more distorted and a body to match. "You're pretty stupid. I'll find all of you eventually. Just you wait, fish."
"Good luck, shithead," Undyne said, her body melting and turning to dust for the last time.
A single tear ran down Chara's cheek as she watched yet another one of her friends die at the hands of this freak. Was she also responsible for his death? No… Chara had been the one to have a lot of the responsibility there, but it could have been.
"Looks like I'm killing more and more people you care about," The freak said, snickering at the utterly dejected look Chara gave her. The sixteen year old was a broken shell at this point, sobbing silently as the freak walked closer to her. Chara could practically smell the dust on her at this point, the freak being even more covered in it. It completely blanketed the front of her pants and a good deal of her sweater.
"I wonder how many more there are," The freak said, turning after cupping Chara's cheek. "I'll just be able to tell by your sobbing."
Chara clenched her eyes tightly shut, just wanting this to all be a nightmare. She wanted to wake up, wake up next to him. Let him hold her close and comfort her through the sobbing, like he always did. She wanted him back.
She watched as the freak entered Hotland, the looming entrance to the Lab of the Royal Scientist. Chara wasn't sure who the Royal Scientist was this time around, but she heard the name Alphys, so she figured this may be the person. Chara could only watch, trapped by the nightmare and hatred as the freak entered the Lab.
There was, thankfully, no one, but still some notes laid around. Chara hoped that all the rest of the monsters were evacuated.
Later
The freak had gotten to the Bake Sale area that Chara remembered from her younger days. Her parents had often brought her and him there to get some donuts. Chara remembered that with fondness, but that fondness immediately went away.
"Oh, what's wrong, Chara?" The freak appeared next to her, teasing her. "Still bummed out over Undyne? Well don't worry. I've got a few more people you care about still alive and I'll find them so you can see them die too."
Chara didn't respond, staring blankly ahead, truly traumatized by the events.
The freak walked through, stopping as she got stuck in some webbing.
"Looks like I found a human who's been causing trouble killing monsters and hurting spiders." A monster who was a spider came down, giggling at the freak. "Looks like I have something new to add to the next batch of cider.
The freak attacked with a frying pan she'd found, squashing the monster and turning her to dust.
Chara said nothing, not being desensitized, but fresh out of tears and voice for the moment.
"They seem to be getting easier," The freak snickered in a further distorted voice. "Looks like I'll have to settle for nothing entertaining."
Chara looked at the freak. She looked even less human than before a strange grotesqueness coming over her.
"Aww, chin up." The freak snickered. "We're almost done. Then, I'll leave your SOUL to rot in this emptiness for eternity. How's that sound?"
Chara just looked down, dejected and broken. Her body sagged against the darkness that bound her in this consciousness she was trapped in.
The freak laughed, leaving her all to her lonesome. The freak then continued moving through the Underground.
Later
Heading through the CORE itself, the king's elite guard had stepped up to handle this freak. But, every single one had fallen to the gun the freak had, having taken it from an empty alleyway.
The freak continued through the CORE, reaching a room where sat a rectangle with buttons on it.
"Greetings, darling." The box said. "How are you doing today?"
The freak walked through, standing in front of the box.
"Looks like you've made a mess." The box said. "Unfortunately for you, I was made to handle pesky human wannabes like you."
The box exploded in a flash of light, revealing a humanoid robot with an arm cannon and wings. They aimed the gun at the freak.
"Burn, darling." The robot said, firing. However, the human dodged, running around and rushing for the robot, smashing them into pieces with the frying pan and shooting them with the gun she'd picked up.
"Looks like you're ready for the scrap heap instead." The freak snickered, walking past. Chara was shocked. Everything that had gone against this freak had failed… every single thing. The Dust of the monsters now speckled her face, making her more hideous than before.
The freak walked into the area of New Home, walking slowly through the castle.
All the time, Chara kept seeing that Flower keep appearing, speaking as if it knew her… not the freak, Chara herself.
The freak walked into Chara's old house, stopping to take a powerful knife that Chara had been given as well as Chara's locket.
"Give that back." Chara said. "It… isn't yours."
"I'm well aware." The freak smirked, putting it on and feeling the SOUL energy run through it.
Chara continued to feel a strange feeling as the flower kept appearing. Eventually, the flower stopped appearing, seemingly becoming afraid as the freak made it to what the monsters aptly called "Judgement Hall". Standing in the middle was the skeleton from earlier, Sans. Chara immediately felt chills run down her spine as he stared at the freak, pupilless eyes staring into their very SOUL.
"It's a beautiful day outside," The skeleton said in a voice that immediately made Chara curl up into a ball. The freak felt Chara's fear and her eyes narrowed at the skeleton.
"Birds are singing," Sans said, a slight, blue glow coming out of his eye as he looked at the freak. "Flowers are blooming. Kids like you…"
Immediately, the freak was impaled with bones and blasted by a monster that had the skeleton of a dragon.
"Should be burning in hell." Sans walked towards the freak, his eye flaming with a blue glow that ignited a powerful fear in Chara's heart. The freak stood up, cracking her neck as she ran towards the comedian, slashing with the knife.
Sans dodged it with a speed that managed to surprise Chara. Immediately more bones impaled the freak as she was thrown around the room like a pinball. Black fluid that could have been mistaken for blood burst from the freak's mouth, dropping onto the ground.
"Seems I was right," Sans said, creating a cage of bones. "You're not human after all."
Bones shot up, stabbing through the freak. Chara was dragged, screaming in horrific pain, into the blackness. The freak walked up to her, smirking.
"Looks like I'm going to need more of your SOUL after all." She said, grabbing Chara's chest and ripping out Chara's SOUL.
Immediately, Chara felt drained, pain shooting through her chest. She didn't think she could feel more pain than before. Immediately, they were back in the Judgement Hall, Sans having a surprised look on his face.
"Seems you can do some neat tricks." Sans chuckled, summoning a hoarde of the dragon skulls. "Too bad it's over."
The freak and Sans continued to fight, Sans seeming to have the upper hand. Chara began to hope that he could actually put this freak down for good. However, she noticed that he began to slow down after a bit. She saw the freak manage to get a lucky strike on him. A red substance leaked from his chest, which truly confused Chara. It also leaked from his mouth.
"Welp," Sans said, seemingly not in pain. "I'm goin' to Grillby's. Paps, you want anything?"
He left, dust falling from his body as he teleported. The demon walked over to it, smirking at her victory. She continued walking into the other end of the Judgement Hall.
Chara gasped as she saw the demon enter the throne room. Standing there was a big monster that looked like Toriel; Asgore, Chara's father.
"No, please." Chara whispered softly, a new tear running down her face. "Please don't kill my dad."
Asgore turned around, looking at the demon.
"Hello there," He said. "I didn't see you there, little one."
Chara then realized that he didn't know this wasn't a monster. The Dust covering the demon had completely changed how she looked.
"A flower told me you'd be coming." Asgore said, Chara knowing the danger. Her father was powerful, but he had his guard down. "Odd… I've never seen a flower cry before."
Chara gave a shudder. The flower, who'd talked about killing mercilessly, was afraid of the demon that had bound her and tortured her with watching dozens, perhaps hundreds of monsters die. Chara let a tear fall down her face as she watched the demon approach Asgore.
"Now now," Asgore said as the demon pulled the knife. "There's always a better way for this. Perhaps we could talk? Over a cup of tea?"
A huge gash appeared in Asgore's chest as the demon attacked him.
"No!" Chara shouted weakly, her voice near gone. Just… like them… she was truly alone. Her father was all she had left.
"Why… you…" Asgore said before petals surrounded him, killing him and destroying his SOUL.
Chara's expression darkened in horror as the dreaded flower appeared, a pleading and scared look on his face.
"S-See," He said, shaking. "I didn't betray you. I-It's okay. W-We can go back to how it was, right? J-Just us? R-Right, Ch-Chara?"
Chara looked up, confused as to how this flower knew her name… then remembering she was once hailed as the princess of the Underground. But… she didn't know any flower monsters…
The flower's face shifted to a face that immediately caused Chara's own face to turn to an expression of true horror. Flowey's face became his face. Chara's gaze was transfixed on it as tears rolled down her face as well as the flower's.
"Please don't kill me," The flower begged with his face, his voice.
Chara immediately saw the demon's hand move to the knife.
"No, please don't" She begged with fervor. "Please don't kill him. Please!"
As she saw the knife slice the flower, Chara let out a scream that would have been heard clear to the Ruins.
"ASRIEL!" She let out a wail as her bonds shattered, letting her fall to the ground, a waterfall of tears streaming down her face as she let her voice out to the blackness, crying over the second loss of her brother.
She felt the blackness grab her again, but this time it seemed to become one with her, turning her tears to a darker black, allowing her to feel a strength she'd never felt before.
The demon continued to walk forward heading towards the barrier to leave the empty world.
However, in front of her appeared a floating, ghostly yet living figure, the figure of Chara.
"Greetings," Chara said in a voice to match the demon's own. The demon flinched, feeling Chara's HATRED. Her very SOUL within the demon pulsed. "I am Chara. Thank you. You've awakened me from death. You've given me a new life."
The demon held the knife towards Chara, who smacked it away, punching through the demon's chest. She ripped out her SOUL from the demon's chest, taking the locket as well.
"These are mine." She said, grabbing the demon by the throat. "You've killed all of the people I ever cared about. Now, it's your turn. But, I'll give you a choice. You can join me or die."
"I'll never join you." The demon said.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Chara said, black goop leaking from her eyes as an evil grin crossed her lips. "Who said you were the one in control?"
With that, Chara punched the demon, the blackness lashing out and crushing her and cutting her into pieces before pulling her into Chara.
Chara took her SOUL, opening the locket Asriel had given her. Inside were two pictures: one of Chara and Asriel hugging each other and one of Asriel, Chara, and their parents along with Undyne. She placed her SOUL inside the locket, closing it and putting it around her neck.
"Right where it belongs." She sniffled, her sadness reigniting.
Chara gave out another wail for her fallen brother, Asriel, more black goop leaking down her face as she cried. She grabbed at the blackness around her, tearing it and throwing it aside, leaving only the broken, crying, sixteen year old girl that had died in the first place.
She curled up in a ball, sobbing human tears. She wished she could just wake up from her nightmare, just go back to being dead even. She wished she could fix all of this, just change everything and leave this void that was left.
Suddenly, there was a bright orange light shining on her. She looked up to see what looked like a button. It was an orange rectangle and it said RESET on it. Chara stood up, wiping her tears and looking at the button.
"RESET?" She said to herself. "Could I… Could I?"
She reached out almost timidly, touching the button. A flash of white light and…
Well, I hope you enjoy. If you readers want me to continue this with Chara leading a neutral/pacifist run, let me know. I wouldn't mind continuing this. That's why I left it open-ended.
So, this was an idea I had when I was explaining Undertale to my cousin. I tried to write this well. I know I skimped out on fights, but this wasn't about them in the first place. This was a oneshot idea... though I actually expected it to be much shorter...
