Chapter 4 – A Pair Reunited (Part 2)
Frisk looked around the inside of the pod he was now laying in. It seemed quiet, but that only lasted for a few moments. Soon he would be able to hear the machine activating. A soft green light slowly filled the pod he lay in.
"This feels weird" came a voice from his head, though already her voice was fading.
Frisk himself felt a tingling sensation running over his body. After a minute the sensation became fuzzy, and didn't seem like it was even happening to him but someone else.
"Hey Frisk, only one on this ride!" suddenly Chara's voice was loud and clear next to him.
"Wha-?" Frisk looked down seeing none other than himself below. He was being pulled towards Flowey as well after all!
"Hey, I'll see you again...once I have my own body! Then...well...just get back to your own body so we can get that far!" She shoved him back down into his body.
Frisk opened his eyes with a gasp, holding his SOUL in his own body with all of his DETERMINATION! A minute went by, it felt like an hour though. Then the lights went out, the sounds stopped, and the pod slowly opened shining light on the now alone Frisk. Slowly Frisk would push up and climb gently out of the pod.
"Frisk!" came Alphys' worried voice.
"I...I'm ok." Frisk assured them making his way over to the other pod. As the second pod opened it revealed not the Flower that was put in, but a white furry miniature Torial/Asgore staring up at everyone. "Howdy, I'm Asriel!" he greeted everyone with a big smile. The goat child wore his signature green sweater with yellow stripes like Chara did, and a pair of dark pants.
Frisk smiled wide, glad everything worked and they now had Asriel back with them! Sans breathed a sigh of relief, and Alphys was internally cheering but externally smiling with a big goofy grin. Almost immediately though Alphys started putting Asriel through a whole series of tests and examinations to make sure nothing had gone wrong that they could not see. Apparently everything went exactly as they had needed it to for once, which was a big relief to all. Asriel kept a little of his former power, though not much, due to only having a single human soul in him compared to the amount of souls he had held as the God of Hyperdeath.
"So then, everything looking ok?" the goat boy finally asked after what seemed to be the millionth exam.
"Alphys smiled to him and nodded, A c..clean bill of h..health" Looking over to a very Bored looking Sans she chuckled "Ok, you can b...bring them both h...home now. I'll keep working o..on those p..papers" Frisk and Asriel ran over taking each one of Sans' hands.
"Thanks Alphys, hope you can learn something from those documents soon. I'll be in touch." He smiled wide and the three disappeared before Alphys could question Sans' odd wording.
Frisk wanted to make Asriel a big surprise for his parents, so with Sans' help they called Asgore over and brought both goat monsters to the living room, both had very confused looks. Frisk finally was ready, walking out someone completely covered with a sheet.
This confused them both "Erm..is this...a magic trick or something?" Toriel asked.
"Er...if that's Sans, we already know that he can use those 'shortcuts'" Asgore mumbled only to get a sharp kick in the leg and a disapproving glare from Toriel.
Frisk chuckled and shook his head, putting up three fingers and lowering them one at a time counting down. Then he would quickly pull off the sheet revealing the goat child to his parents "Howdy!"
Both Toriel and Asgore gasped in pure shock, Asgore's jaw practically dropped, had he been a skeleton it might have fallen right off even! "But...how!? Is that...really?" Toriel got up and rushed over pulling Asriel into a hug, followed soon after by Asgore. The three shared a loving reunion, many happy tears and talk of how much they missed their son.
Frisk smiled off to the side watching the three. "Well kiddo, you've goat this far, now it's up to Alphys." Sans said. Suddenly standing next to Frisk. "I'll be popping in on her to check on the work, so don't you worry." Sans chuckled patting Frisk's shoulder before disappearing again. Frisk frowned, he knew when Sans was up to something, and this was definitely a big 'something'.
After a long family reunion Toriel and Asgore turned their attention back to Frisk. "My child... how was it you were able to bring our son back to us?" question Toriel.
Frisk was unsure weather it would be wise to let his mother and Asgore know what actually happened, instead telling them that it was with the help of Alphys and Sans that they found some odd ancient magic and with Alphys' gadgets they made it happen. Asriel who realized this was the better way for now, feigned ignorance of everything as if he had no idea what happened between his death and resurrection. Luckily, both the goat monsters were too happy to have their child back to ask any more, or need to hear any more.
Later that night, everyone was called over for a huge dinner to celebrate. Of course they kept what it was about a secret, wanting to introduce Asriel to everyone at the start of dinner, he stayed waiting upstairs until dinner readying a room in which he would now be able to stay. Frisk was excited, now he had Asriel there and he would see all his friends again!
The first to arrive was Papyrus, "HUMAN! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS , AM HAPPY TO SEE OU BACK FROM YOUR TRIP WITH MY LAZY BROTHER! NYEH HEH HEH!" Papyrus was his usual loud and boisterous self. "I AM SORRY TO INFORM YOU THOUGH, MY BROTHER WILL NOT BE MAKING IT TONIGHT! THOUGH HE WOULD NOT TELL ME WHY...AH WELL AT LEAST NOW WE CAN ALL HAVE A PEACEFUL NIGHT WITHOUT HEARING ANY OF MY BROTHERS ATTROCIOUS PUNS!" Papyrus shrugged and smiled walking in to greet Toriel and Asgore.
Soon after Undyne would arrive with similar news. "Hey punk! Good ta see you again! You any stronger yet?" she teased giving Frisk's arm a playful punch. Unfortunatly it was Undyne, so it still hurt a lot. "Oh, Alphys says she can't make it. She's busy working on some science thing in her lab!" she sighed slightly. Frisk smiled rubbing his arm as she too walked in to greet everyone.
"Ooh! Darling! It has simply been too long!" A pair of metal arms snaked around him and pulled Frisk into a crushing hug.
"H..hello Metaton, I missed...you...too" Frisk somehow managed to get out while being crushed by the hug.
"Hey Frisk...' A small ghost wearing a pair of headphones appeared next to Metaton.
"Blooky and I just got back from a short tour and when Toriel called we just had to come and see our favorite human!" After a few brief words with the robot superstar and his cousin both also entered the party.
Now everyone was finally here and ready. The table was set and everyone gathered to sit. Frisk took his own seat next to Toriel, though the seat next to her remained vacant for the moment. Clearing her voice Toriel got everyone's attention, "Everyone" she smiled. "Tonight is a wonderful night! Thanks to Frisk, Sans, and Alphys, two of whom are not here unfortunately, I asked you all to come tonight to introduce someone who has been gone a long time." she beamed happily. "Come on in dear!" she called...
End Chapter 4: C-C-C-C-Cliffhanger!
