So heya, everyone.
Thanks for reding this beforehand and just a warning I'm a rather new writer, so some things can be smoother I know.
But I currently don't have someone to proofread it and if there are mistakes I didn't really see them.
Reviews will be appreciated and I will try my best to heed your advice.
On that note, I hope you enjoy this a with that I take my leave.
Gaster sat in the Void, frantically searching a way to interfere with the timeline like always. But as always his attemtps were in vain. He could do nothing but watch. Yet he refused to give up.
Determination fueled him to keep searching for a way. Meanwhile the human he watched countless times before was in another „genocide run", as he dubbed it. But... something was... different. Out of place to say the least. It intrigued Gaster. Instead of Undyne protecting Monster Kid, Gerson was faster then this time. He told Undyne to fall back to the castle. She tried to refuse but the old turtle monster barked that it was an order from a former hero, so she backed up reluctantly. Gerson in turn spoke to the culprit behind the genocide.
„I refuse to let... you kill this youth. She might... be strong, but she has much to... learn and live for." He said clearly exhausted, clearly dying...
BUT HE REFUSED.
He refused his end. He refused letting them on their way, without trying to stop them. He refused to see his beloved friends and family die. So he stood up, lifting his hammer, standing on shaky legs. He took a step towards the child. More and more strength and determination fueled him and as he took his 4th step a blinding light shot from him. The next second a hammer smashed the face of his opponent, sending them exploding through the cave. The light settled and revealed a Gerson in his peak condition. A Gerson that is determined to bring justice upon his enemy for their sins and crimes.

Alas, it was to no awail. The child pushed through this new obstacle with their Determination. inevitably Gerson falls, but instead of turning to dust or goo, he turns to stone immortalized for his achievements. The child, Chara, in that moment couldn't care less. They turned leaving the statue behind. The geezer had cost her 76 reloads to beat. To many for their taste. Frisk was silent in the back of their mind. He has exiled himself from this horrible reality long ago. He just wanted it to end, wanted closure, wanted happiness. But they could never achieve it for their own stupid mistake, their own curiosity which led them to murder everyone.
The rest of their journey was rather uneventful until they met Mettaton. Normally when they would meet and fight Mettaton, he was in his NEO form, but … he wasn't.
"Human, on another day... I would have put up a great show for you." The robot spoke in a calm manner, but it couldn't hide his anger. "On another day, I would have danced with you upon this very stage. But today... isn't the day that will happen. Today you will suffer like everyone you faced before. Like everyone you killed. I, the star of this underground will not let this happen. And unfortunately for you..."
He changed his form. But instead of just him changing... He absorbed most of the arena leaving only small room to stand. When everything settled, horror formed on the child's face. In front of them was something closely reminding him of a previous battle fought in a timeline long lost. But it was all metal and had more robotic features rather than a flowers. Mettaton changed into his ultimate defensive system.
"I just have the weapons to do so!" he exclaimed

Yet again, the formidable enemy failed, but not without leaving his mark. 256 attempts, where needed to lay a single scratch on the former ghost monster. 478 attempt where needed to shatter his soul.
"I... guess that... is all... i'm capable of." The robot's last words."Sorry... Blooky."
And with that he collapsed leaving a pathway to the last stand of monster kind.
Another strange thing happened. When they stepped through new home... nobody came. No flower, no monster, nobody. The child walked through New Home, cheering at the fact the flower wasn't bothering him right now. They stepped into the Judgement Hall, awaiting the fight with Sans. They touched the save star, preparing for their fight. They turned only to see not one figure standing in their way... BUT THREE.
In front of them stood a female merman, a short skeleton and a tall goat figure.
"Human..." the tall figure began. "You are a threat."
"You killed nearly everyone underground..." the fish female continued.
"yet you will not stop there, aren't you?" The skeleton finished.
Sans stepped forward. "And not even when all of humanity is dead you will stop. You will keep going until all of existence perished." His left eye starts glowing. "And then you will just reset everything only to do it again. But we will stop you."
Undyne stepped next to him. "We will fight you and kill you. Countless times, we will do this until you stop. Until we beat every last ounce of determination out of that wretched soul of yours, we will fight you with everything we are." She transformed into her undying form, letting her own determination fill every fiber of her being
Asgore stepped up. "What ever you are, there is no way we will let a being evil to point you are roam this world." He looked into Chara eyes, steeling himself and pulling his weapon.
In unison, all of them said
"BAD TIME WON'T DESCRIBE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE."

The King of Monsters will be your final judge.
The fight between the four of them was fierce. Every enemy on their own was fearsome. Every of the monsters was capable of defeating the child a multitude of times, but together they were unbreakable. And without mercy they relentlessly pressed the child, killing them over and over and over again, bringing them to their knees.
In the childs mind the possessor raged and raged, but not once they could seem to finish off even one of them. And the host was relieved. Relieved that soon this horrible fate will end. Soon they will have peace. The world will live on even if that meant he was trapped here for all eternity. There will never be the nothingness they dreaded so much.

Gaster noted another try "49780: I might be able to end this once and for all, but I still need more time."
In the timeline Chara still fought their seemingly endless battle. They killed Asgore before but it lead to their demise as Undyne intensified her attacks and Sans imbued everything with his Karmic Retribution. When they killed Undyne, Asgore would throw everything he had against them, also imbued with Sans power making him even deadlier than he was before. But never could they kill Sans. Never were they able to kill their biggest problem. But they kept going. Determination fueling them, even when they fought these frustrating enemies.
And then, finally in try 59896 they finally managed to take down Sans. To their horror, the other two just struck harder to make up for the loss of the Sans. Then on try 66666, they knew they were near their goal. Asgore, Undyne and Sans laid exhausted on the floor, unable to fight any further, as the child seemingly joyous skipped over to them.
"... so this... is how it ends?" Sans spoke grief poured out of every fiber of him. He just wanted his brother back. He wanted these ceaseless torture to end.
"... DAMN IT … why ...WHY CAN'T I SAVE THEM FOR ONCE?" Undyne broke down and cried. She wanted to tell Alphys how much she loved her. How much she just wanted to be with her.
"... So this is the price of my sins?" Asgore gave in to his sorrow. Mourning over his inability to save his children. To save his wife. To save anyone he cared about. To save ANYONE at all.
Chara now was just one step from all of them. "It's pointless to try and stop me. You tried so hard but you all were destined to fail. No hard feeling, kay?" They spoke in a sickening sweet tone, just before they sadistically laughed. They rose their knife, preparing to kill them all three with one swift strike. They brought it down... but it never reached those three.
Just before it hit, reality seemingly cracked, nullifying the attack and from the crack a skeleton in a black coat, a turtleneck sweater and cracks in his skull emerged.
"End of the line, young one." The mysterious monster said. "You will not harm this world any further nor will you any longer cause pain to anyone."
A disembodied hand rose beside him, glowing dark blue. Instantly they were pushed back to the point where the save point was. The child smiled but frowned the instant they turned towards the save point. In front of him... was a rather familiar flower. The small flower started to shift and grow and turn into his omega state... meaning Chara had no power to reset and the souls would likely not help them.
"Chara... I really wanted to stick to your plan." the omega form Flowey shook his head. "But I came to realize that we where nothing more than a plaything for you." the TV he had for a head focused on the small child. "And I hate to be played with. And for once I and the souls are one the same side." Suddenly Floweys' form shifted again and from where the once hideous form was, arose a goat, resembling an adult Asriel, but there were flowers all over his body. "For once I'm not he Omega. " He drew a blade, a Chaos Sabre, and pointed it towards Chara. "For once I will be the Alpha and bring an end to all of our suffering."
The child was seemingly frightened and just wanted to run at that point, knowing it would be in vain. They turned around only to face 4 monsters, boiling with anger and determination to stop them. Their soul turned blue.
"I believe it's time for you to let go, isn't it little princess?" Gaster asked knowing that Chara likely won't comply.
"YOU KNOW NOTHING! YOU CANNOT STOP ME! EVEN IF YOU KILL ME NOW, I WILL COME BACK TO KILL YOU ALL!" they started to scream.
But no one even cared at that point. They knew they had the upper hand.
Gaster sighed "I suppose you didn't understand what I meant Chara." He raised his right palm, causing several other identical ones to appear around him, all glowing …. dark blue. It were twelve palms which were raised, half of them then pointing down while the other pointing up.
Instantly the child raised into mid-air, struggling against the hold but their Soul not tearing apart.
The sound of something ripping could be hard and the body was slammed against the ground, while something resembling a soul but completely black with a red outline smashed upwards.
A shadowy figure appeared from it screaming. "THIS WILL CHANGE NOTHING I WILL JUST TAKE BACK WHAT'S MINE NEXT-"
"There will be no next time for you, little demon." The tall skeleton interrupted them. "To die in the form you have now, means to die for good and no reset will bring you back." All Chara felt was the cold stares upon them. And the fear and dread crawling on her back. Soon they tried to escape somehow, but found that they couldn't even move due to the blue magic that hold them.
He turned around, facing Sans. "Will you do the honors?"
Sans looked at him and replied "I think everyone should join in on that."
In a flash the air was filled with all kinds of magical attacks. "With pleasure."
"Goodbye, and I hope I never have to deal with you again." Gaster told the "demon" and the magic fired, shattering the soul into pieces which were then turned to dust by the fire and light magic they used. At first Chara screamed but in not even a second the cries ceased as they were turned to dust like their countless victims before.
Then they all fell to their knees due to exhaustion. Yet they smiled. All of them smiled knowing they would finally be at peace. Yet again they heared sniffling, the sobbing of a child. A child that had gone through way to much. A child that couldn't believe it was finally over. A child that not believe it's own freedom.
"hey, kid, it's okay now." Sans was the first to speak and attempted to calm them down. They didn't stop crying and just whispered "thank you" over and over again, eventually hugging Sans.
"kid, I don't mean to be mean ya know, but tibia honest you still have something to do and I know you will do it great." They looked up and looked him in the eyes before they nodded and everything faded to white. They awoke on the oh so familiar flowerbed. They rushed to meet Flowey who simply winked at him before digging into the soil.
Finally, Frisk thought, finally i'm able to escape this nightmare, as he made his way through the underground as what Gaster would dub it, a true pacifist.
They met old friends a new and even made some more, with Gaster now being free.
Soon enough, they all looked together at the sun rising, enjoying the old newfound freedom.

And deep in the caverns, the echo of a child could be heard. It was laughing, but not sadistic as they used to, but genuine and pure now freed of their heavy burden.
