Sense of Justice: the Yellow Soul

by Char Mosirren

War is where both sides believe they are right. Arthur, born from the Underswap AU and threw into the OriginTale AU must survive as the world crumbles around him, war settling through his telling of his Origins. Can he find peace, or will Gaster and Chara prevent him from his happy ending? Is this really the right thing to do? (Remake is The Yellow Soul: Beginning Anew.)

2. Back to the start

The battle goes on.

"I WON'T HURT YOU!" I yelled out as he attacked again, I held on as ...

What? What was that about? Whatever.

"JUST LET me WIN " A0r13L SaId.

I start looking around as the batle and the story starts glitching out.

"S 0W Y08RS31F" I tr- t0 say aS the StOrY glitches more.

"H31P!"

...

"What, you thought you could leave?"
...

"You try all the time, but you know what's going to happen." A chainsaw roars against the black background.

...

"So why do you still try? It's futile in the end Arthur." Screams fill the night as the chainsaw hits flesh.

"...Why do you keep going then? It's futile in the end Gaster." I finally reply after opening my eyes, seeing that one of the monster souls inside of me RESET everything again, most likely Chara, who seems to be Gaster's minion in a sense.

"Why, because it's futile, so I can see how your reaction changes with each reset, to find out when you'll break apart." Gaster replied as a bloodly white smile appeared in the black background.

"Sounds about right, here's the thing. I broke long ago, at this point I just stopped trying, but in a sense. To try is not to try, so I have to keep going to progress the story, make sense?" I admitted. A part of me died 200 RESETs ago, when he killed my brother in front of my unseeing eyes, my vision is there. But I choose not to. The sight of the blood on my hands and the memories of my past made my eyes closed by invisible strands of string, tightening them to where they feel like bursting. The only reason I opened them was because the fact he would do even worse things if I didn't open them, but what's the point anymore?

"Hmm, fine. Let's test that theory, I'll let you finish your 'story' and get your 'ending' and then we'll see how you feel when I rip those people's futures from right in front of you. Let's see how far I can break your soul." Gaster said as he grinned again, no longer causing a shiver down my spine. I laughed.

"We'll see indeed asswipe, we'll see indeed." I replied.

Who knew what would happen from that timeline? Who knew that it would fill me with so much DETERMINATION that I surpassed what I originally had? I didn't, but looking back, I wish I never had.
