So as of December 21st,2018 I Rewrited this chapter Because of UV! 0.4 and my overall bad writing. No hateful criticism only constructive criticism to help me improve as a writer please! This fic takes place at the beginning of Underverse 0.4 and a couple days before the beginning of volume 1 of RWBY. You should watch volume 1-3 of RWBY and all of Underverse in order for this story to make sense. Also the story and characters will be OOC and AU when I see fit. Finally, here's a key for speaking;
"This is speaking physically,"
This an important word or phrase
{THiS Is WInGDiNGs}
Anyways, here's a warning: I Do Not Own RWBY, Undertale, X-Tale, Underverse or of the AU's in Underverse whatsoever in any way shape or form. RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (Rest in peace), Undertale belongs to Toby Fox, X-Tale and Underverse belongs to Jael Penaloza, and the Undertale AU's belong to their rightful owners you can look up online.
With That out of the way Let's get started!
Chapter 1 REWRITE - XChara POV
*11:00 am - The X-Tale duos universe
"WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO NOW!" Cross exclaimed to his partner as they were sitting down on the ground, quite injured at where Underfell's Snowdin was meant to be after coming back from the raid on Underswap.
"I don't know just LET ME THINK!" Chara replied to the current predicament while clutching the right side of his chest where a gaping wound remained.
The mission was going well until Cross and Chara got a tad bit cocky and let their guard down a bit, and then Dream!sans shows up and things went to hell. Classic gave them a bad time, then Nightmare!sans got rekt by arrows from Dream!sans and was like "Fuck it" and stabbed US!Chara and they proceeded to blow that popsicle stand. Right after the three got back, (reasonably) Nightmare scolded Chara/Cross for nearly getting their party killed because were apparently holding back. Now, there was a small question that remained in their mind… did they make the right choice?
CONTINUE?
Flashback—
"Those arrows were made of positive emotions…" Nightmare!sans angrily said as he pulled out the embodiments of his weakness one by one.
"It's not my fault you let your guard down." Chara scoffed.
Nightmare grabbed the demon's body with one of his tentacles. The inky black abyss clutching his very freedom, "You're lying. Don't try to hide it. You are not using all of your potential..." There was a pause, "YOU. STILL. HAVE. MERCY."
Chara then quickly said "IT'S CROSS NOT ME! HE'S STILL APART OF MY SOU—!"
"Cross is not the one to blame." Nightmare!sans cut off with a finger to the lips. "Both of your souls are still pure." There was another pause, "You're holding back. Just like you did in the past. Good children cannot change at all...He was spared at the beginning because you never wanted to hurt others." Memories of what Chara did after what HE caused flashed through the first fallen child's mind with guilt.
I thought you would change.
Why human?
I am truly sorry child...
Why did you do this to us my child?
AAAGGGHHH! YOU BETRAYED US, NOW GIVE ME YOUR SOUL HUMAN!
You are a TRUE MONSTER.
"You were so attached to him that you preferred not to do anything. Soon you started losing your mind trying to stop him, your negative feelings toward XGaster became the strongest among all neutral and genocide timelines in the multiverse." He trailed off, After Ink and 3rR0r made their stupid truce that caused a reduction in new negative feelings.
"You've been watching us all this time, as if we were part of a show…" The first fallen child tried to look at Nightmare after the trip down memory lane.
"Haha!" Nightmare laughed then continued "But of course! Did you really think you already knew how we work in the multiverse?" The X-Tale duo struggled against his grip. "Stop struggling, we're going to a genocide timeline next, You will have to work very hard for me this time." He went back into a neutral grin.
But it refused… "NO. You helped get Cross what he needed for this world…" N!sans just stared, "Now you must take me back to Ink to get the vial he's hiding. IT'S AN ORDER!"
N!sans just turned his body to the right. The inky tentacle boi then looked toward the fallen child, body still trapped in his grasp. "Oh, so you didn't read the small print of our deal. I'm offering my help in exchange of your freedom. NOW YOU BELONG TO ME."
"THE HELL WE DO!" The demon yelled angrily.
"How rude of you—!" N!sans tightened his grip on the us, "Well, I. DON'T. CARE." The fallen child stopped struggling. "ASKING FOR MORE IS VERY. VERY RUDE…YOU'LL WORK FOR ME, AND IF YOU RESIST WELL, WE BOTH KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN."
The fallen child then faintly said with as much strength as he could muster, "Well we're not gonna work for you at all, we have our own plans..."
SLICE!
999999999999999999999999
That was what it felt like for a nearly dead child with a tiny fading fragment for a soul to accommodate two people to say like two sentences.
"What was that I heard?" N!sans coldly turned to face the X-Tale survivors.
The comedian then yelled, "he said that we're not working for you anymore!" Nightmare starred.
"Well then…you can't finish your story anymore, YOU NEED ME." N!sans dropped Chara as the fallen child gasped for air while the X-Evented parts of the world they stole disappeared around them. He coughed twice quietly.
"We said we're not pawns anymore, the black king has made his moves and his turn is over, I need to make mine. By GETTING. THAT. VIAL. THAT'S AN ORDER ROOK!" He coughed up blood and nearly passed out.
"Have you learned NOTHING child? This isn't your game, YOU. CAN'T. WIN." He closed his eyes. "When you want something done right you gotta do it yourself."
He stepped forward and said "I'm just gonna make a summary of this lesson the best way I can, let me demonstrate…!" N!sans said unsettlingly friendly and stabbed Chara in the chest straight through with one of his tentacles and yelled "IT'S GAME OVER."
"AGGHH!" The demon wailed in pain, the wound letting out blood like a faucet while digging into "his" soul.
"It's a shame…" N!sans faced the fallen child and kneeled, {YOu HAd SO mUCh POtENtIAl} He then teleported to another AU to get new, useful, personnel.
End Flashback—
"Hey kid? Anyone in there? DO SOMETHING!" Cross yelled.
They were running out of time and the world was falling apart around them. They needed an idea, fast. Wait…RESET AND OVERWRITE!
"Comedian, I have a plan, it's not a good one but it's all we have." The fallen child said.
"Spit it out then kid." Said comedian replied.
"Under my time with Gaster and Frisk I learned much more about SOUL's and the abilities they grant. Gaster showed me a complex technique using two types of SOUL's…REWRITE, the combination of RESET and OVERWRITE, the ability to completely edit the STORY, aspects and overall foundation of a world in a timeline."
"Why didn't we do this earlier kid?!" The skeleton questioned. While throwing his hands up in frustration.
"It's just a theory by Gaster and wasn't tested enough before I went genocidal trying to stop him." The reset button appeared in front of the demon and as he finished the overwrite button soon followed.
A mental glance was shared between them.
Cross sighed. "Do your thing, kid."
Chara stood up, walked forward, summoned the True Knife, and sliced the reset button into two pieces, one piece saying RE, and the other one saying SET. He did the same thing with overwrite by slashing it into two pieces where one piece said OVER and the other said WRITE. then bended and manipulated the OVER and SET pieces to make a large purple and yellow X. He then positioned the X in between the remaining buttons and left it floating in the air, after that he initiated a battle and the world went black and white as the dimension changed into the familiar zone. He slashed the symbol in the same order with each respective color of blades responding to the three buttons then stopped and reasonably gulped and considered his options before grabbing what was remaining of US!Chara's soul and RIPPED it right out of its place and slammed it right in the middle of the X, completely mimicking DELTARUNE's ending.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Cross yelled.
The fallen child ignored him for the time being more paying attention to items and pressed said button and looked at a healing item which was filling his entire inventory called 'Lost HOPE' the hell is lost hope? The demon used 'Lost HOPE' and healed to full, (which was like 0.25 hp) then his turn ended. The RE and WRITE buttons drew towards each other and toward the X rapidly and they the X and the word REWRITE was nearly formed. Chara finished the process by taking a yellow True Knife and stabbing it into his soul in the center of the X and when the blade hit the button.
The button fuckn exploded, launching it's pieces everywhere.
"WHAT THE—" Cross wasn't even able to finish his sentence because a portal stood where RE and WRITE was and of course, they're sucked in.
It wasn't discussed between them, but they both had one word in mind immediately and simultaneously.
"SHIT"
Cross POV
11:06 am - Outertale
The duo flew to Outertale through the portal quite suddenly and unexpectedly.
Right to the vial his partner's dying to get.
"we took all this time trying to get the damn thing and it's given to us." The skeleton chuckled.
Chara grabbed it with insane speeds and smirked as there were a multitude of reactions to the new factor. Ink remained emotionless and with his poker face he flew past the demon into the sky. 3rR0r then used his strings and rained down what seemed like thousands of bones on him while Chara absorbed the soul in the vial and both of the X-Tale survivors felt a rush through their body as a new soul entered their vessel and then immediately dodged Ink's brush by turning their body as one hit by Ink's brush would be fatal to their frail soul. Cross took control and teleported above the carnage, narrowly missing Ink's brush but didn't avoid a Gaster blaster courtesy of Ink.
However this giant skull fired a spike wall of bones and luckily that g-blaster had stormtrooper aim and only a few bones hit Cross. "Shit!" He yelled because he felt like hell and wanted to throw up after the sudden impact of the bone wound to the stomach area.
Yet he didn't even have a stomach.
After that, Cross dodged Ink's bones launched at him and fell toward 3rR0r in the air as 3rR0r kept flying to Ink then used his strings to tie Ink in a net and pulled him with ease, over his shoulder and threw him downward toward the sort of bone maze below him. Made by Cross, the deadly zone emerged above said AU skeleton as he made a 3 point landing on one of the many floating platforms caused by a massive explosion of lasers by Fell earlier. The three sans standing off to the side, Classic, Hot topic, and swap helped with the massive attack by just making a shit ton of bones and g-blasters where the spiky bone maze is stationed, 5 seconds before Ink made impact…
With Chara's blade,
Chara took control and Ink's attempts of attacks were blocked and parried by the fallen child as said child tried to dodge Ink's right hand that was trying to get XGaster's soul back and the demon had to also dodge each bone and laser from all the other Sanss involved in this...event.
Chara initiated a battle and attempted to X-slice and dice his second, mortal enemy. Though Ink dodged the attacks with precision and skill and swiped Chara with his brush and trapped him with black ink. Luckily Cross remembered a moment from a few days ago and long bone ejected out of Chara's right eye and stabbed Ink through the skull and the impact created more bones that shredded his ties. Out of surprise Chara took control and then created a sort of shield out of determination knives and bones to avoid the maelstrom of attacks coming at the three. The g-blaster from fell fired and created a massive beacon of light, all the while a hell storm of bones from the others reverse rained down on Ink as a cage of blue bones that supposedly should of skewered Ink and confirm the kill, but then the dust settled and there stood Ink in a sort of Ink cocoon as it burst open and launched ink spikes everywhere hitting everyone but Chara/Cross in vital places which put the sanss out of the fight.
I need a better word for multiple sanss.
Ink then lashed out and created a "spiked floor" of sorts out of, well, ink! and Jumped up toward Chara/Cross while swiping his brush violently creating ink bones and g-blasters with every swipe then misses a swipe which gave Chara a chance to retaliate. Of course, {OBvIOuSLy} the missed swipe of the brush was a trick as Chara went to go punch the bastard, he only hit and got his fist stuck in ink, literally, Ink's chest was well INK! The monster slashed a deep scar over Chara's left eye as he morphed into a inky version of Undyne and kicked
the duo toward the ground but Cross grabbed Ink and threw him beneath himself and jumped off him which propelled him farther up then what he thought. Chara took control mid flight and made a mental agreement with the former skeleton, "It's our only chance if we want to finish this encounter…"
The comedian nodded and looked down at Ink launching homing ink spears at everybody before turning back to normal then he just got laid into by gravity manipulation and bones with KR, being slammed from wall to wall like human pinball. In mid-air, Cross used his gravity manipulation to throw himself/Chara faster down than ever, breaking the sound barrier.
Chara took control and did a similar thing that he did to attempt rewrite but minus one step, Chara summoned the red True Knife then sliced in a wide X shape downward towards Ink then hacked a plus sign right over it with a yellow True Knife.
"STOP NOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT—!" Ink tried to scream but was punched in the face by fell then was cocooned in place by 3rR0r with his strings and thrown backwards toward his original location right beneath Chara's impact zone, after that Ink's hands were pinned by large, pointy bones that ejected from the ground courtesy of Classic. Chara smirked then made a purple True Knife and completed the process by lancing it through the odd yellow/red symbol…
Right in Ink's face.
The process this time created a sonic boom that knocked everyone back immensely far and made them lose consciousness.
and the world went white.
No POV
11:51 am - {? ?}
When everyone regained consciousness and had time to process what the hell just happened they realized two things; One: their souls have been corrupted by something and they were phasing in and out of reality because of it. Two: Ink, Chara/Cross, and 3rR0r have…disappeared.
"Ok, does ANYONE know what's going on?!" UF!sans said as he was phasing.
"i got nothin' pal" Classic said to the confusion.
"I don't know either! Are you all ok?" US!sans said worryingly.
"Those are the wrong questions to ask." N!sans said as he got up from the sonic boom and pointed north with his left hand. Everyone looked in that direction and immediately stepped back as THOUSANDS of rifts to many, many different realities and AUs were around them. Undertale or not…
"What have they done?"
XChara POV
12:23 pm - {? ? ?}
"Wake up, don't give up yet!" Said a voice, "Come on Partner…"
CONTINUE? or RE—3rR0r! FILE NOT FOUND,
Continuing your journey fills you with DETERMINATION!
"It's good to see you again, Chara." Said the voice once more.
"whaaaat?" XChara said tiredly as he heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes, ready to summon the True Knife if there was any danger ready to strike, but instead his eyes widened greatly as he scrambled backward in shock.
"Long time no see, partner…"

…smirked XFrisk Dreemurr, the 8th fallen child of the underground. Surprisingly Chara quickly got up and hugged Frisk, his brother.
"Surprised me too…" Cross chuckled as he walked out from behind the tree with the True Knife over his shoulder.
Chara let go and scrambled back once more. "Wait WHAT! You're separated from me and you're HUMAN!?"
"Yeah, I honestly don't know what you did but it made me human, got Frisk here, and now we're on the surface." Cross chuckled at the shock by his partner.
"Huh, well then, what do we do now?" Chara said calming down.
"Well there's some buildings over in that direction." The former skeleton informed.
"Well guys then I propose that we move onward!" Frisk said nicely.
The two three smiled as they add +1 old friend to the party. Frisk, always with a smile to block out the sun.
"Alright, lead the way partn—"
GROWL!
"What was that!" Chara said with the True Knife in hand as he was cut off by some beast in the woods.
"Don't know just kill it!" Cross put his word in with some bones summoned.
This new threat and your objective to beat it fills you with determination!
A black wolf with a bone mask jumped out of the trees and sprinted toward the three.
Cross ended that real quick since he trapped the wolf in place straight through each leg.
Chara then initiated a battle and checked the new mob…
Beowolf - HP 5 - ATK 6
(This wolf-like Grimm runs on all fours and uses its claws to attack quickly. Usually travels in large packs which can tear through villages and humans with ease.)
"Alright, kill it." He said after he was done with his basic analysis of the creature.
Cross followed through and stabbed it through the skull and out the back, killing it.
The beast faded to dust.
You won! 6 exp split throughout your party. Press SPACE to read more about parties.
SPACE
(Parties are groups of players whose SOULs are connected and share loot and SOUL power. They can also all use their turn at once for a massive damage phase or use all their turns separately. Example: 10 exp is shared equally with all two party members, one gets 5 exp, and the other gets 5 exp.)
Press SPACE to read more about connected souls.
SPACE
(Connected SOULs are Well, souls that are connected to each other! example: every time one party member takes damage, all party members take half that damage. When one party member heals, all party members are healed for half of that.)
{Side note: when you join a party or other players join your party, every party members' LOVE is combined to make every party member equally as powerful as the next. Also, when one member dies, they all die…}
"Cool." Chara said at the new info.
"Wait, didn't the description of the beowolf say it moves in packs?!" Frisk realized.
HOWL!
"Shit."
Alpha Beowolf POV
12:24 pm - {T? ?m?l? ?r?}
The beast stared as three humans killed one of their comrades by impaling it through the skull with a sharp bone created by something.
"Humans must DIE! I will not fail my queen!"
HOWL!
"Shit." The humans said out loud in unison. The pack of beowolves gather around and then spread out to block the front of the open forest.
A young wolf lashed out of the bushes.
The wolf gets disintegrated on the spot by a giant skull.
The pack might need backup.
XFrisk POV
12:24 pm - {T? Em?al? ?or?t}
A beowolf launched out from the bushes and was disintegrated on sight by Cross.
"Why can't we spare them?" He asked himself and wanted to ask the party but already knew the answer to his question.
"Piece of cake." Cross said in victory over the small foe.
Thirteen more wolves came out in front of them in a sort of line and one of them had crazy spikes along it's back.
"You had to jinx us didn't ya?!" Frisk said slightly pissed and then asked, "Plan?"
"Just slash away, BAD TIME, and NO MERCY!" Chara said then X slashed a wolf before him into four pieces then kicked said pieces at the one with spikes and then countered a large one and... made him pay. After that he made a mad dash for the wolf with spikes until his instincts kicked in and sidestepped to avoid a massive feather?
Uh oh
Cross paid no mind to the inconvenience of grimm, instead grinning then used telekinesis to slam one into a tree on it's right, he then teleported forwards and decapitated a different one while maneuvering his body downwards to avoid the swipe of the beowolf he threw to a tree. After the dodge he did a roundhouse kick and killed the wolf in a great play of force.
Frisk punched one away then pulled out the empty gun and said, "Who needs bullets?" After the one liner he fired into a line of three wolves he set up and killed all three.
Chara was hacking and slashing the spiked wolf into submission when he stopped and spotted another three regular ones going for Frisk. He then snapped his fingers which caused a wall of knifes to rise up from the ground and impale all three with speed before Cross appeared before him and launched the remaining wolves into the air using telekinesis, including the spiked wolf. This prompted Chara to jump up and kill them all at once by using a red True Knife filled with DETERMINATION and X-sliced all of them in one swift swipe.
"Ok we should really get moving now, our SOULs are weak in this current state." Cross said since he wanted to CONTINUE.
"Their SOULs are weak, hmm, oh wait! I have an idea!" Frisk thought. "Guys, I can make your SOULs stronger by sharing mine." He voiced his idea.
"And how are you gonna do that with your fragile soul?" Cross replied.
"Well I still have my whole soul so I can just give each of you one fourth of my SOUL so you we all can have half a SOUL and 0.5 HP!" Frisk explained.
"You sure partner?" Chara asked while spinning the True Knife in his right hand.
"Yes."
"Well? Your choice, do your thing kiddo." Cross said.
Frisk ripped out his soul from his chest and slowly but carefully divided it in half, straight down the middle. Next, the eighth fallen child divided one half into halves to make two, one fourths of a soul. Then he absorbed the other half back into his body. Finally he said "Well my friends, the deed is done. Absorb your share quickly, we don't wanna encounter more of these 'Grimm.'
The two others absorbed their respective pieces and said thanks before they heard footsteps and a large Grimm bear appeared from the bushes.
"Really?" Chara face palmed.
Cross started a battle and stabbed the bear in place with bones that ejected out of the ground. He then checked the thing...
Cross POV
12:28 pm - {Th? Eme?ald ?ore?t}
Ursa - 7 HP - 9 ATK
(This bear-like beast is quite strong and uses its large paws and body structure to overpower opponents.)
Cross then disintegrated the Ursa with two gaster blasters at once.
"Like I said, let's move!" Cross repeated.
Five more Ursa spawned to the left side of my the three.
Said three turned to face them, and they summoned their magical weaponry.
"Where are the KNIVES?"
VRRROOOMMM!
*gun cock sound*
"Let's have a duel shall we?" Frisk said to the five bears who stayed a distance whom' were clearly smarter than the others as they weren't rushing their three opponents. "On the count of three and after I say draw, we will attack each other" Frisk finished explaining. Chara rolled his eyes.
"..." Silence…
"One."
…
…
…
…
…
…
...
"Two."
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Three."
…
"Draw!"
SLICE! WROOMM! BANG!
About three seconds later the mangled and burnt bodies of the Ursa were piled up after their demise.
"Ok, for real! Let's go." Frisk said.
And as if the world wanted the three to move on, it sure as hell didn't want them to right now because they heard a screech and there was a massive Grimm bird in the sky!
Joy.
"Are you kidding me?" Cross said while twitching his eyes. He sighed and teleported up to fight it.
"Should we help him?" Frisk turned to Chara and asked.
"Nah he's fine." Chara replied.
A giant Grimm scorpion dashed out of the trees and forced the two to dodge its pincers.
"Now this is just getting annoying!" Frisk announced while getting into a stance.
"Look I'll deal with this and you just go help Cross got it?" Chara ordered to his partner.
SCREECH!
Oh my fuckn god. "Alright…" Frisk sighed.
He jumped up to where Cross was and deflected a sharp feather going for him by the newer bird. After that he landed on the head of the new bird and ran along the left wing, slashing his blade with every step on the face of it to hinder it's flight capability. This worked as it started to fall along side Frisk. He finished the job of destroying the wing by pulling out the Empty Gun and firing it at the loose strand of bone keeping it on the bird thing.
SCREEEEECH!
the wing fell off completely and the bird tumbled toward the ground. Frisk then spotted another scorpion and dived towards it to kill.
Cross was still fighting the bird who he checked and found out that it was called a Nevermore, an Alpha Nevermore. The former skeleton dodged its feathers and beak mid air then summoned a long sharp bone, more akin to a long sword, and barely stabbed it into the tail of the Nevermore and held on tightly as the Nevermore struggled and flew recklessly around the forest then whipped its tail around, hoping to get the comedian off. Cross fell but teleported to the head, stabbed the true knife into it, then held the blade by the handle and steered the giant Grimm bird toward the ground. He jumped off of it, and then summoned gaster blasters and just eradicated it.
To put it in perspective. Let's just say that the Nevermore was Jenga, and someone threw a bowling ball at it.
That was a terrible example.
Anyways, Cross teleported down and just watched as Chara rekt the scorpion and two smaller ones by X-slashing EVERYWHERE. The first one was missing it's front legs and stinger, while the second one was missing half it's tail and three eyes, and the third one...is handicapped. Chara decided to finish this and summoned a hell of a lot of knives just below the surface and then raised his hand very quickly. This made the DETERMINATION knives eject out of the ground and impale all three right in there tracks.
They faded to dust.
Congratulations, You won!
34 exp shared throughout your party.
"Cross." Chara began.
Cross looked at the child.
"Teleport." He said, exhausted.
The former skeleton was about to teleport the three but Frisk stopped them.
"Wait…" Frisk looked around and narrowed his eyes on the ruins behind them and a small hole in one of the pillars.
"There's a camera!" He exclaimed.
After that he pulled out the Empty Gun. He aimed it at the camera and fired a laser.
"Alright, now, let's go." Frisk prompted.
Cross complied and snapped his fingers.
12:30 - {?}
"Whoa." Frisk said as he and his group walked out from an alleyway and saw a human city.
"Whoa indeed, this city is quite beautiful looking." Cross smiled.
"Agreed, we should also go look for directions." Chara said while spinning the True Knife in his hand.
"HEY!" Said a random voice behind them.
The three turned around and saw a man with, wolf ears? The man was wearing a light, white piece of armor, black under armor with a hood, black pants, a brown belt, and a white mask that kinda resembled the Grimm from the forest. He was also holding a small firearm.
"You talking to us?" Cross said with a grin.
"Yeah i'm talking to you humans. Now hand over all your money!" The mugger threatened.
The X-Tale trio looked at each other, unimpressed, then nodded in unison.
VRROOOOOM!
"How about no?" Cross said while summoning a g-blaster above himself.
The Gaster blaster fired.
VROOOOOOOM!
Surprisingly, that guy didn't die but was knocked out from the blast. Chara walked over and searched him, he had a wallet. The demon pocketed the money and walked over to his friends.
"Ok what now?" Frisk asked the group.
"Well we need to find a place to sleep for one." Cross stated. "And we need to find a library."
"True, and I'm hungry." Chara agreed.
"Well there's a chocolate store over there—!"
"WHERE?" Chara cut off Frisk and looked around and spotted a sweets store then ran off.
Cross sighed then said "let's go."
"Ok…" Frisk facepalmed then followed.
And our heroes have arrived to a remnant of the past. With the darkest shadow they will ever know, following.
