Chapter 01 – The Strange, New World
Author Note : Found some time to start a new fanfiction while gathering last bits of information for Digimon Story : Iliad – I hope you enjoy! Events take places after True Pacifist Time-line. So...
SPOILERS AHEAD! - Also as usual, Windings are written IN CAPS.
Frisk would be wandering through the Underground, looking at the ground as she would be making her way towards the barrier. She would be deep in thought – she had just defeated Absolute God of Hyperdeath and said goodbye to Asriel, and was feeling regret that she could not help him.
"...I know what you are thinking, partner", Voice would say. "I would like to help him too, but... There is nothing we can do." Frisk would look over her shoulder at the floating figure, who looked just like her, expect for bright red cheeks and green & yellow sweater instead of her purple and blue. "I know..." Frisk replies, sighing. "...Is there really nothing we can do for him?" Chara shakes his head. "...You heard him... Without soul, he'll just become Flowey again..." As Frisk would walk past house of skeletons, she would notice flower pot. Chara peers at it a bit. "...Frisk, you aren't possibly...?" Frisk would pick the pot and run back towards the ruins, careful not to drop or break the flowerpot.
After a while, back where Frisk originally fell down, Flowey would sigh. "Great, I'm back being a darn flower..." He sighs, as he hears footsteps from behind him. "Who's there!" Flowey asks, pair of thorny vines appearing from ground. He sighs as he sees Frisk. "...Oh, it is you. You really don't have anything better to do-" He asks, noticing the flower pot. "...Frisk, no..." Frisk grins.
After a moment, Flowey would be placed to a flowerpot, sighing. "...You really are determined not give up once you make your mind about something, aren't you?" Flower asks, as two start once more make their way towards the exit. "Couldn't just leave you here alone", Frisk would reply. She would think a bit. "...Then, there is that strange goopy one, but after that one time we haven't been able to find him..." Frisk would think, sighing a bit.
Unknown to them, ghost-like, black figure would be following them from the distance. Every time Chara or Frisk would turn around, it would vanish somewhere before they could even spot it. Frisk would shrug, thinking it would be a wind, but Chara felt bit uneasy.
Frisk would had not been able to find the Door again, as he made her way through Waterfall and the Firelands, and then Capital, eventually arriving where the Barrier used to be. Other monsters waiting would have been surprised that Frisk had Flowey with her. "...You brought the weed with you?" Sans would ask. Frisk nods. "I couldn't just leave him behind", She replies. Sans sighs, and would ruffle Frisk's hair. "Tibia be honest, I should had expected you to do something like this", He says, Frisk pouting a bit. Flowey frowns. "...Puns, really?" Sans smirks. "What I can say? I am just that Humerus." Both Flowey and Papyrus frown as Toriel snickers a bit. "Well then – shall we see what kind of world waits us outside the barrier?" Sans would ask. Black shadow would be watching them from afar, looking around... Something was off.
As Sans made his way outside with others, he could hear voice saying words in unknown, yet familiar tongue which he somehow understood. "DANGER", "OUTSIDE", "RIFT" and "SANS". Sans blinks, looking around. "...Anyone else hear that?" Papyrus frowns. "...You can save your puns for later Sans..." Papyrus simply states. Skeleton looks around, eye-sockets narrowed. "...What was that just now..." He thinks, as he makes his way outside. Shadowy ghost following with a frown.
Once outside, Monsters would see a beautiful sunset. "...How many years it has been..." Asgore would say, smiling a bit. As monsters admired the sunset, Jerry would come outside from the cave. "...I thought Wifi would be much better here... I was wrong" Annoying monster would say, causing others to sigh. As they sigh, something would happen in the distance.
In the horizon, above the sun, world would start to break, revealing a rift of some kind. Sans blinks. "...Wowie! I never thought something like that can happen outside!", Papyrus states. Asgore narrows his eyes. "...That is because it shouldn't" he says. Summoning his Trident. From the tear, they can feel someone watching... Then rift would begin to suddenly pull monsters and Frisk, along with ghosts, inside. Including Jerry. Once inside, rift would close itself – and laugh would echo through the AU.
Frisk would not be sure how long time passed, before she started to finally wake up. Slowly, he would start to sit down, looking around, blinking. Sunset above a forest would had changed into a lush jungle. "...Wha-" She would ask, as she heard a familiar groan next to her. Looking to her side, she would be surprised, to see Chara having now a physical body. Frisk would poke Chara, who would simply mutter "Five more minutes..." Frisk sighs, before trying to wake Chara up. With that failing, she would whisper to her "Free chocolate", which would cause her to snap wide awake. "Where?!" She would ask aloud, looking around, then at Frisk. "...Oh. Just you..." She would ask. "What happened? I remember strange rift and then... Nothing", Chara would say. Frisk shrugs. "...Your guess is as good as mine, but... Haven't you notice something odd?" She asks. Chara blinks, crossing her arms. "...Like what?" She asks. Frisk would point at Chara, who looks at her shirt. It would take her a moment. "...Wait, I am not transparent!?" She asks, looking both shocked and surprised. "...Does this mean... Am I alive again?!"
Two would be soon interrupted as nearby bush would begin to shake. Frisk would blink, looking at the direction of the bush while Chara would pick up a toy knife. From the bushes, a pair of small dog-like creatures with runed, golden collars would run past them. Frisk and Chara blink, looking at the direction where they came from – And see a floating blue cocoon with six tendrils with arrow-like blades. Frisk and Chara would blink, before Frisk would start to run after the dogs, followed soon by Chara.
"What is that thing?!" Chara asks while fleeing. "How am I supposed to know?!" Frisk replies. "It is Chrysalimon!" Third voice would say. Frisk and Chara blink, looking at dogs. "It eats data – we need to get away as soon as possible!" fourth voice says, coming from one of the dogs. Frisk and Chara look surprised, to see them speak as they run away from Chrysalimon. "...You can talk?" Frisk asks, looking surprised. "Of course we can!" one of the dogs replies, stopping suddenly running.
Ahead them would be a cliff, with river raging below. "...Oh no..." Salamon says, turning around, as Chrysallimon appears from the forest. "...We have to fight..." Other one would say. They nod each other, before taking a deep breath. "Puppy Howling!" They both call out, as they release soundwaves at the Chrysallimon, forcing it to back away a bit. "Did it work?" One of the small dogs would ask. Chrysallimon would soon give its answer. "Data Crusher!" It calls out, its tendrils lashing out at one of the digimon, whose eyes widden. "Watch out!" Frisk calls out, jumping and pushing digimon and herself out from way of the attack. Digimon blinks, looking suprised, as Frisk would pick up a branch. Chara sighs, drawing out a toy knife. "...Seems we cannot get out of this without a fight" He says, smiling as he moves in front of other digimon.
As the two take the positions, their Souls would react to something, as a strange, heart-shaped devices appear front of two. "...What are these...?" Frisk asks, looking confused. Chrysalimon would back away. Chara also looks curious about them. "Digivice..." One of the digimons say, before both begin to glow brightly alongside with the screens of their devices. "Lopmon Digivolves to..." Both begin to call out as they start to assume more feline forms. "Tailmon!" One behind Frisk would call out. "BlackTailmon!" One behind Chara would in turn say. Chrysalimon would peer at two, pulling its Tendrils backwards. "Data-" It begins. Both Tailmon and BlackTailmon then rush at Chrysalimon. "Lightning Paw!" Both call out, smacking Chrysalimon at same time, scattering its data.
Frisk and Chara look both surprised by the change. "Is it dead...?" Frisk asks, sounding worried. Tailmon shakes her head. "...Nah, he will reborn someday", She replies, Frisk looking relieved. "Good to hear..." BlackTailmon looks at Chara. "...Seems we found ourselves partners", It says. Tailmon nods. "True... They seem nice too", She replies. Frisk and Chara look at each other, and then their devices. Frisk's heart would be red from right and white from left, while Chara's would be black from right and red from left.
