A/N: Oh hi there, welcome to my new story… It's been over two years since I've written anything on here! Anyway I digress. Welcome to my Undertale story, just a few notes to get the story going, I will be using all normal names of Characters, e.g: Sans, Frisk, Chara. Stuff like that, but the player name will be set to Michael, just for story settings. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my story, have a great day!
Real Determination Chapter 1
-Deadly and Unexpected
The room was tinted with an orange-yellow glow. The judgement room as it was known to players all across Undertale, it was the area that Sans The Skeleton would judge you on your actions within the game. If you chose Pacifist or Neutral run you'd be lucky getting away with minimal grilling from Sans. But choose Genocide, and as Sans would put it… "You're going to have a bad time". This was all well known to Michael, he had played the game far too much, trying everything different, what happens if he had killed Everyone but Papyrus, or left Undyne… These questions banged around in Michael's brain like a bouncy ball being thrown in a small room, but instead of searching his answers on YouTube or Google, he wanted to test them himself, regardless of the many resets that he had enacted. Although deep down, Michael felt like he had a connection to these digital forms of code and text. But I guess that's what to be expected of a game that has such lovable characters and quirky humour, but also the freakiness to go with it.
But this reset was different though, Ever since Flowey had told him to not reset after his 3rd True Pacifist, Michael had done it anyway, but what followed onto the next reset was strange to say the least. Michael had been playing this game a lot to know where items and general map areas were. But opening his new SAVE, he had noticed some different sounds, one sounding like the clinging of a thing piece of metal, almost like a knife. Michael dismissed it quickly "Okay, talk to Flowey, get past the pellets, and kill everything. I think another Genocide is in order" Michael smirked subtly, he wasn't a messed up teenager or anything, he just liked the challenge of Sans and Undyne the Undying. Throughout the game Michael had noticed a few changes or weird things happening. Different sounds, items in the map moving place or even new props being placed. Michael deep down had a bad feeling about this, but chose to ignore it swiftly "It's just a game, I don't know what I'm worried about!" He laughs as he continues to play. After Mettaton was defeated, that's when Michael really started paying attention, but still in the mindset of it being a game, Michael just shrugs it off "Might just be some sort of thing to do with the fun values, did I forget to reset them?" Michael asks, but still ignores looking into the problem any further.
The Judgement room, the faceoff between Michael or Frisk vs Sans. Michael moves Frisk closer as they engage in conversation, the conversation seems normal, but something's off. With closer reading Michael picks up a few words pertaining to Chara and killing everything, Michael didn't think Sans knew much about Chara. As the battle commences Michael doges the attack swiftly when something strange happens. A new piece of dialogue is displayed from Sans saying "Hey buddy Let me look into your eyes…You seem different than before" The text continues as the music stops, before Michael knows it, Sans eyes widen as he murmurs "Oh crap.." When suddenly an attack is ushered in, Michael is stunned when he realizes it wasn't his attack. Sans drops down way before even the part where Sans spares you. "Was this an ending exclusive to replays of the game?" The idea runs through his head as Sans finishes his text like nothing happened and like the code had run its course. "Well, that was kind of disappointing…" Michael murmured, still a bit shaken up by the alternative ending so to speak. Normally Michael would quit by now and reset, but this time was different, the urge to keep going beckoned in his head like a master calling for its dog. Michael sits there and contemplates it for a minute, he knew if he continued it'd be soulless in the next playthroughs. On the contrary, he could always just delete the files. And start over, so he continues to go until he eventually reaches Asgore .
Michael approaches Asgore and skips through the text, he's seen it enough to know what's being said. As the go to the barrier, Michael can't help but feel a deepening sense of dread, like he shouldn't be doing this, but curiosity is something humans find tough to deny. As the battle screen comes up for Asgore, and Michael strikes, Asgore goes down with one hit, Michael knew this. But he didn't know about what happens next.
As Asgore sits there, on his knees, he starts to cry. Michael stares at the screen for a moment, horrified that Toby went into so much depth on showing how strong you really are. After a second something shows up down in the dialogue box above the action buttons and it reads "Chara begins to laugh…" Michael's eyes widen in a confused manner when suddenly the "Michael Lv20" changes to a "Chara lv20" and Asgore is struck down with a faint laughter in the background. Michael knew this wasn't supposed to happen, Michael generally tried not to spoil much for himself, but even he knew this wasn't supposed to happen, it shouldn't happen. As the fight screen ends we are shown two figures, Chara and Frisk. Frisk seems to be kneeling down with Chara standing next to the soul containers. With her hand she rises her knife up and slashes down the front of Frisk. Due to the lack of graphics and the restraint of gore, Frisk just drops as Sans limps in. "Hahahaha…Hello there again comedian. You're already a little too late" Chara laughs, grabbing Frisk's soul in one hand, and Asgore's in the other, she absorbs them as Sans sprints towards the canisters. Not much sound is heard in this scene as Michael watches Chara smash the canisters and absorbs all of the souls. We see Chara's face form a big grin as a white light starts forming from her body, then some form of glitches. ERROR's and texture bugs begin to happen around Chara when suddenly in a blink of an eye. She's gone.
"Welp…This is going to be a lot worse than expected." Sans says, as Michael fixes his eyes on the screen, waiting to see when Chara will jump up on screen. Ten seconds pass and nothing, when for a moment Michael's heart almost flies out onto the screen when the simple words are spoken behind him "Hello Michael…" Michael's eyes widen as he slightly turns his head around to see a green and yellow shirt and a knife.
It was Chara…
Ending Note:
Thanks for reading my Real Determination Chapter one, I hope you like this. I wanted to try something different, I don't know if anyone in particular has done this before to be honest. I hope you leave a review, I love them and I always respond to them in a section in the A/N on each new chapter, so leave any constructed criticism you may want to leave. I haven't written many pieces in a while, so excuse me if this is a little messy and hard to read. It is like 1 am here and I have college tomorrow. But anyway I hope you enjoyed this, have a great day or night!
Peace.
