A/N: Awesome, so this is my second ever attempt at a Fanfic, and this time I'm not going to just wait and see if it catches on. I'm gonna write the whole thing and slap it online! Reckless abandon don't fail me now! Anyways, this is going to be a Frisk x Chara fic, and Asriel x idk yet, yay me! Also it's rating is going to be M for down the line and to be safe. I'll also add other things in other author notes as I think of them. Beyond that *Inhales*
I do not own Undertale, or any of the characters in Undertale, it is all Toby Fox's stuff, give it all to him, he gets the respect, I am just a lowly writer using his epic stuff to write other less epic stuff!
Anyways, let the show begin...
A/N extra: I cannot make red letters for some reason so Chara's lines will instead be underlined until I can figure it out...
Chapter 1 – A New Adventure
How long had it been now? No more than a few weeks. To Frisk it felt like just yesterday he had liberated the monsters from the Underground. This though was not the end, not everyone was free. Two still needed to be saved, Flowey the Flower also known as Asriel Dreemurr and the so called demon child that lived within him Chara. This was not good enough for Frisk, for his happy ending, everyone must be happy! After countless resets, many attempts to do it all, pushing himself to even the breaking point of his own mind and even a point where he almost broke reality, this was it. But this time, no more resetting, this was the last time he would make sure everyone escaped from the Underground Alive. It was time to push forwards and try from after the fact. -rework/expand-
Frisk strapped the last of the supplies he had prepared to a backpack. Satisfied that everything needed for a new journey to the underground was ready he would sling the pack onto his back. The morning was quiet, Frisk was alone in his room, Chara was still sleeping in, or as close to a soul residing inside you might have to sleep. She was opposed to this whole thing, thinking it a fools errand. Suddenly a voice rang out behind him, "Hey kiddo, ready to head pack to the underground?" Frisk laughed turning to face the short skeleton who had just appeared behind him. He wore a white T-shirt, cargo shorts, sandals, and a blue zip up hoodie in which he kept his hands in the pockets most of the time. Frisk nodded "All set Sans.", the skeleton's near permanent grin widened, "All right, I suppose we can head in and make our way to Snowdin, figured we can use me and Pap's house as a base of operations of sorts."
Sans was the only one Frisk could ask for help on his mission. Though Sans wasn't all too keen on the idea of dealing with Flowey, nor the idea of anything related to Chara, but when Frisk sets his mind to something, nothing would stop them. So what more could he do but go along with the kid and make sure nothing went wrong. This also allowed Frisk to use the convenient excuse in convincing Toriel to allow him and Sans to leave, under the guise of going camping. The only other person who knew of the real trip they were taking was Alphys. The small lizard-dinosaur person scientist wanted to go with them, but would not be able too without her girlfriend Undyne becoming suspicious or worse, following. So instead she stayed home, helping the pair instead by providing some useful (if experimental) tech. All of which was safely stored in Frisk's backpack.
As Frisk and Sans headed downstairs they were met at the bottom by none other than Toriel. "Are you both sure you have everything you'll need." she asked.
"We'll be fine mom, promise!" Frisk responded to the kind goat lady who more or less by now was his acting mother.
"I know my child, but I do worry, you know that." she frowned slightly looking over the pack on Frisk's back.
"You worry too much Tori, we'll be fine." Sans smirked. "We'll be back as soon as the kid quenches his sans of adventure!" he winked making Toriel giggle and blush.
Suddenly a loud and boisterous voice arose from off to the side, "GAH! BROTHER! WHY MUST YOU ASSAULT MY EARS WITH YOUR HORRIBLE PUNS!?" A tall skeleton wearing odd makeshift cosplay looking armor and a red scarf suddenly walked in from the front door.
"Oh, Papyrus, what a pleasant surprise." Toriel smiled greeting the new visitor.
"That's not true, you totally don't have ears. Also, sup Paps" Sans chuckled grinning at his taller brother.
"THAT IS NOT THE POINT AND YOU KNOW IT ALSO HELLO MISS TORIEL IT IS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS!" The taller skeleton both yelled at his brother and greeted Toriel all in the same breath.
"Anyways, what'cha doin' here anyways bro?" Sans questioned completely ignoring his bothers frustration at him.
"AH YES, I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE NEW COOKING CLASS I WAS TAKING AND I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD STOP AND SAY HELLO TO THE HUMAN BEFORE YOU BOTH LEFT." The tall skeleton said proudly looking over to Frisk. "AH, HUMAN! I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK WITH MY BROTHER AND YOUR CAMPING TRIP."
"Thanks Papyrus." Frisk smiled giving the big skeleton a quick hug which was quickly returned.
"I suppose we're gonna need luck. You know how camping in the human world is. It's super...in-tents!" Sans quipped resulting in everyone but Papyrus laughing.
"MY GOD, YOUR JOKES ARE GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME-DON'T YOU DARE MAKE ANY KIND OF SKELETON JOKE ON THAT!" Papyrus stopped his brother before he could make any further jokes, his eyes looked like they would jump out of his head. "ANYWAYS, IN FEAR OF MY BROTHER TELLING MORE JOKES, AND BECAUSE I AM LATE I BID YOU ALL FAREWELL!" the tall skeleton said his goodbyes and was on his way.
"Well, that was...interesting." Toriel said watching Papyrus leave and head down the sidewalk.
A little while later Frisk and Sans would also be walking out, closing the door behind them after a few more words with Toriel. "All right kid, lets do this." Sans held his hand out to Frisk, "Let's go, I know a short cut." Frisk smiled and took Sans' hand knowing where this was going. In a flash the two were suddenly standing in front of the exit to the Underground. This was where everything had ended, and where the next great adventure would start again for Frisk. He gulped looking deep into the dark cave, resolving himself he forced a smile. Only two left to save, a new adventure! This gave Frisk a feeling of excitement.
"Bah, hey! What's going on? I'm trying to rest and all I hear is Papyrus and puns!" A voice rang out in Frisk's head. A ghostly figure appeared next to Frisk with their arms folded. A girl of similar age and looks with rosy red cheeks and a grimace on her face appeared. In front of him. "Oh...um...we're heading down today remember?" Frisk responded as Sans eyes moved over noticing Frisk talking, he knew it was Chara, but said nothing. "What? Your wasting your time. Everyone is free, things are good. Why ruin it trying to do the impossible!?" Chara shook her head. Frisk shrugged "You know I'm not satisfied with just that." with a confident smile Frisk moved on and through Chara's image as she flickered out. "Fine, just don't come crying to me when you fail..." she responded before withdrawing to just sit along for the ride.
Sans followed along behind Frisk, "I still don't see this as a good idea, I mean I can understand Flowey's case and bringing back the Prince would make Toriel super happy..." He sighs, "But after everything that happened and knowing how Chara is, we really should just let her stay how she is where she can't make any trouble." Frisk shook his head, "Sorry Sans, I've made up my mind. "She'll be good though, I know it." Sans chuckled "You are too trusting and optimistic you know that..."
"Also tell that bag of bones I can hear him and he's an asshole!" Chara's voice rang out.
Frisk coughed a second "Sans...Chara hears you..." Sans smirk widened "Good then she knows not to try anything or I'll have a bone to pick with her." Frisk chuckles at the pun though he doesn't like the idea of those two fighting, but decides that is a bridge to cross when the time comes.
The two would soon be deep in the underground, making it just to Alphys' old lab. The place was mostly cleaned out as Alphys had moved all her equipment to the new lab she opened above ground. "So then we still have a good bit of the day to go. Should we head further in now or keep headed towards my place?" Sans asked looking over a few dusty computers.
"I think we should head into the True Lab first and scrounge around. The sooner we finish everything the less time we need to stick around." "Better idea, let's just go home now and forget about this stuff!" Frisk ignored Chara's suggestion. "Ok then, you know where it is so lead the way."
A few minutes later the pair would arrive at the elevators. Stepping in Frisk looked up to Sans, "We need to be ready, once we head down the elevator will likely crash again." Sans shrugged "I got it kid, don't let this old elevator get ya down" Frisk laughed hitting the button. As the elevator descended downwards it would rattle and shake. After a bit Sans looked up, his left eye glowing blue, and the elevator stabilized bringing them to a slow stop at the bottom instead of a hard crash like last time. Frisk was nervous though now that they had actually made it all the way here. Last time he came here the entire place was overrun by amalgamations created by Alphys as well as a few other weird machines he didn't understand. Frisk felt safer with Sans around and he would know what some things did, at least Frisk had hopes that Sans would know more.
Slowly the elevator doors opened into the dark shadowy reverse lab, the True Lab. Stepping out looking around it was quiet and spooky. Many secrets were hidden here both good and bad. Something here would allow them to attempt to save Chara and Asriel, that was the though Frisk held onto. The will to save them and the means to do it before him fills Frisk with DETERMINATION!
