AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello there, everyone! This is my first time creating fanfiction, as well as my first time on this site. This takes places in an alternate ending of the popular indie game, UNDERTALE, that I have made up myself. Some things should be established in here first:
-Frisk and Chara and 10 years old, and female in this story. This is simply my opinion. I do not argue anyone else's interpretation of the character(s).
-Soriel is not a thing here. Please don't kill me. :(
-Charisk (CharaxFrisk), Friskriel(FriskxAsriel), Chariel (CharaxAsriel), and Chariskriel (CharaxFriskxAsriel) (probably) won't be a thing either. PLEASE don't kill me! :'(
-If you want to know how Chara and Asriel are alive, it will be discussed later. All you need to know is that Frisk is somehow more awesome here.
ALSO: This was originally in 2 parts, but I decided to combine them, since they were both relatively short. (about 850 words each)
* CHARA...wake up! Please wake up! There goes ASRIEL, AGAIN. What does it matter for? You don't want to bother waking up unless it's a new plan to destroy humanity. He knows. SHE knows this. And yet-
* "CHARA, I know you're awake! Please stop trying to sleep the day off." Well, would you look at that: him of all people trying to be firm. Nevertheless, you get up anyway, if to at least get him to stop.
* "What." You say with the most flatout voice you can manage. You just didn't get it; considering what you were trying to do, you'd think sleeping the day off would be the least of their worries.
* Mom wants to talk with you about something! You absorbed everyone's souls to destroy the planet, and you failed. There was nothing TO discuss.
It's been 6 months since the BARRIER was destroyed. Everyone has now integrated into human culture, and Frisk is the ambassador of humans and monsters. And here YOU are, wasting your time after your last attempt to destroy humanity.
. . .
The plan was simple: gather enough SOULS to cross the barrier. That ASRIEL failed you last time, so you figured that you would have to do something yourself. So when that human fell onto your grave, you jumped on the opportunity to possess her body. It wasn't hard, really; They had similar enough features to you, the same age, height, and most importantly: Determination. The power ot change the world. You then enacted a campaign of Genocide upon the underground, using her body as a host. You'd break her spirit, lea ving her on the dust for a while, until you gave her the big demand.
* You will give me your SOUL.
And there it was. Right there was your key to your victory. Knowing FRISK well (maybe even more than they know about themselves), they would jump at the opportunity to help anyone in need, even when it would doom them forever. Once they sold their soul, you took full control, and would free all of the monsters, only to end them later. Not even that comedian could realize in time that you were not FRISK, and when he did, all of his close friends would already be dust.
You enjoyed those final moments of those timelines, when that stupid grin on his face finally faded as you stuck the knife into him. You finally got the correct response: loneliness, fear, and agony. It brought you complete pleasure...well, the closest you CAN feel to pleasure, you suppose. Not even doing it six times over got old. That comedian's jokes may be the only thing worse than you, but at least he earns his title: his different reactions were always amusing to you. "This was almost too easy!", you thought. You couldn't believe that this would be so effortless.
Of course, like always with you, things were never that simple. You got too cocky, too greedy, and you paid the price: worthless pity.
...
you wasted enough time here in your room. It's time to leave.
You stepped into the living room. It's filled with books (mostly of snails)
Then, your mother put down her book and looked up at you.
My child, I would like to discuss something with you. Please sit down. She has a worried look when saying so. Great. More pity on the murderer. Just what you needed. You decided to humor her and do as you are told., and sat on the sofa.
* CHARA, I understand that you might be still a bit surprised at your sudden new life. but please, try to relax. There is no danger here. You couldn't help but laugh. It was a bitter one, full of mirth and anger.
* M-my child, this is no laughing matter! I want you to be at peace!
* Mother. You know that there is a large danger in this room. And you are talking to it. You took in the greatest danger on this planet and took her in, telling her that "everything is OK." It is hilarious.
* Self loathing is NOT comedic.
* It is if it is correct, which it absolutely is.
* SIGH. I see you are very stuck in this self deprecation.I will let this go for now, but this will not be the last time I will bring this up.
You briskly walked back to your room. As soon as you closed the door, decided to check your stats.
"CHARA"

"Lies." You muttered to yourself. You can't believe that this is you now. All of that preperation, all of that planning, all of the RESETs...gone. The thing you worked hardest at was washed away, all by a human. It's a familiar feeling, almost like when...
...
You push it back from your mind, closing the stats screen as well. You decide to use the television. It's not like anyone is in here. That human is probably somewhere foisting their kindness at somebody. You grab the remote and look through the DVDs.
Ugh. You regret ever entertaining the idea of going to buy these things. That giant reptile ended up buying a bunch of "anime". you openly protested to viewing such trash. Something wasn't right about it, and it wasn't just those godawful designs.
When they finally (and you meant FINALLY) got to some actual fighting, it was some of the most ridiculous things you ever saw. Who yells out their attacks like that, and why does it seem like half of the characters end up shirtless in those fights? It weirded you out in so many different ways.
You decided to take out the one YOU picked out. You figured that if you were going to watch trash, you might as well pick one with ease of digestion. You reached and grabbed "Bese-
...
It's gone. Who could've done thi-
...
no.
No.
NO.
"NO!" You immediately turned around, and sure enough, there was a small, white dog, with the disc in its mouth. Your SOUL immedately bellowed out your battle music, MEGALOVANIA.
* It's a small, white, Annoying Dog.
FIGHT
* You wildly swing your fists at the Annoying Dog.
* They all missed.
* The dog didn't even move.
* The Annoying Dog ran away!
"CHARA? Is everything OK in there?" Oh god, you do NOT need any of this right now. But of course, because this timeline HATES you, the human peeked right in anyway.
Frisk is a 10-year-old (the same age as you) girl from Ebott Village. You never questioned why she fell, and honestly? You didn't care. She slowly stepped into the room, wearing her signature blue and purple striped shirt.
"Of course, it's just that mutt stole a DVD I was going to watch."
"But I thought you didn't like anime...?"
"I don't."
The human was confused at your answer, and wait...that made no sense to you either! Urgh, Whatever! That dog has annoyed you enough.
"So why are you still here? Don't you have any of your fake kindness to give to another human?"
All of a sudden, everything went black and white again. Only this time, it's Frisk in front of you.
* It's the human.
ACT
* Talk
* I tell the human to leave me be.
"CHARA...
Are you OK?"
No bullets.
* Stop.
ACT
* Talk
* I ask the human why they bother to care.
"Well...
We're friends...
...Right?"
No bullets.
* ...
ACT
* Talk
* I tell the human that it means nothing.
"..." The human's face went to a melancholy look. Your ATK rose!
No bullets.
* Don't give me your pity.
ACT
* Talk
* I ask the human if we're done here.
Suddenly, the human's face went to a look of determination.
"CHARA. I don't know what happened to you before. It must have been very bad. But remember: things are different now. You don't have to worry about being hurt anymore!" Then the human...smiled at you.
Indignation very quickly rose up within you. You CAN'T BELIEVE they brought up your weakest moment like that! The moment when you hesitiated killing her, and then you-
"I didn't mean to make you mad. I just want you to get better someday."
* The human steps closer to me, with their arms streched out.
ACT
...
(I'll never get do you want to comfort a murder? Why do you keep being nice to me?)
...
(I killed you...everyone...many times over.)
...
(I don't...understand...)
...
* Accept Hug
"There we go!" Color slowly faded back into the world, with you hugging Frisk for a good while. after you stop hugging her, Frisk moves towards the door. "I'll be right back!" Frisk moved towards the door, and left, closing it behind her. You flop back on your bed. Great. You got weak again. And unexpectantly, that annoying dog is right back in your room, DVD still in it's mouth. It just...plops it back down and walks away.
You take the DVD and put it back on the shelf. You walked back out the door.
...And that's it! I hope you'll enjoy it and come back for more. But anyway, here's more important info that you should know:
If you are confused with the MEGALOVANIA part:
1. This follows the headcanon that MEGALOVANIA is Chara's boss music.
2. This also follows the headcanon that character themes (or just boss themes) are attached to their SOULs and play in-universe.
And here's one that I made up myself that requires some real explaining:
Due to events that will be explained later, Chara and Frisk can both use magic. Basically, unlike normal humans, they ARE attuned to their SOULs (well, enough to use magic, at least.) This won't really come into play much though, at least not yet.
