Authors note: Thank you to casbyb1 for the follow and favorite, im glad you are enjoying this, and it has been decided….Frisk shall tell the final part of her journey.
As the laughter died out Frisk spoke up "there is one more thing I have to show you guys, the truth about how the barrier fell, but first…..mom….Asgore….Alphys you guys might want to brace yourselves, because I have some explaining to to first." All eyes were on Frisk as she spoke "So we all know about Alphys injecting a flower with determination and it coming to life to make Flowey…..but the determination wouldn't have worked if the flower she used wasn't so special, the flower she used…..had Asriels dust on it….so when she injected it with determination…." Toriels eyes widened" He came back as a soulless plant…." Sans's eyes went dark , Alphys's eyes watered and she began to panick "o-oh my god….what the hell did I do…..nonononono i'm so sorry, its all my fault I-I" But Asgore stepped in "Alphys, you didn't know about any of this, you are not to blame….i am the one who pushed you into experimenting…..Toriel…..we should hear Frisk's story." Toriel nodded "Very well…...let us get started." Frisk nodded "Ill start from the beginning of the reset, but move quickly forward, addressing changes I made along the way."
Everyone took their seats once more as they watched Frisk's memories, She started once more on the bed of flowers "After resetting, I woke up in the ruins again, able to move on my own, I thought that Chara would try to control me again, but i was of my own will , so I made my way through, smarter than the first time, i spared the froggit that I had once killed, made it past mom….and i'll just let this little scene play out."
Younger Frisk walked out of the ruins, and instead of letting Sans prank her, she called out his name, and he appeared from the trees "heya kiddo, so apparently i know you, and you know about my journal. you went through hell kid, but you're back now." Sans pulled the younger Frisk into a hug, "I want to do Papyrus's puzzles now, though I think I may mix things up a bit." Frisk gave a sly grin to Sans, who chuckled " haha, nice, alright hes about to show up at my station, lets roll." Frisk made it to the station and as Papyrus came into veiw she began to speak loud enough for him to hear "Oh no, Sans please don't capture me! At least allow me a puzzle and a final meal first!" Papyrus rushed over "BROTHER WHAT IS GOING ON OVER HERE?!" "Looks like i found a human bro, but eeehhhh capturing isnt really my thing, how about you do it paps?" "NYEEEEH, OF COURSE YOU WOULD HAVE ME DO THE CAPTURING LAZYBONES, BUT DID I HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WANTING PUZZLES BEFORE YOUR CAPTURE HUMAN?" Younger frisk turned to Papyrus "Oh yes please sir, I love them so!" Everyone was laughing at this point, even Sans and Papyrus were laughing at how corny that was, eventually it got to the point where everything was mostly the same, Frisk befriended Undyne and Alphys, the true lab was new, but everyone already knew that part of the story, but Frisk decided to stop the memories at the judgement hall to let the scene play "This was the last time we would meet in that hall, but dad had this great speech that was nice to listen too."
Younger Frisk walked up to Sans"so you finally made it, well you already know about exp and LOVE, so now heres your judgement kiddo….you never gained any of it, you learned from your mistakes and corrected them, even when you ran away, you did it with a didn't gain LOVE…..but you gained love…..does that make sense? Eeeh maybe not, but paps called everyone to meet up at the barrier, we all decided to accompany ya to face the king, maybe talk him into finding another way, so lets go, i know a shortcut." Frisk ran into Sans to give another hug, and everything happened as everyone remembered, right up to Flowey absorbing everyone's souls " This is where the new part comes in, with the power equivalent of seven souls…..Asriel got his body back, and he wanted to kill me to take control of the time line, to be able to go back to whatever he wanted. So we fought." Frisk played out the battle, Asriel throwing high powered magic at her, her soul breaking and fusing back together a few times, until Asriel unleashed his more powerful form, she could not move, she couldn't access her save file, "So i decided to SAVE what i could….you guys were trapped in Asriel, but I could Free you all one by one."
Frisk let the memories of her saving everyone play out, and finally got to Sans "just give up, i did." Frisk dodged a meager barrage of bones, nothing like how she knew Sans could fight, She ACTed, and asked Sans to take a break, he remembered a little "why even try?" Another barrage of bones, she told sans a pun, and that crossword was way harder than junior jumble, he seemed to recollect that fact. "You'll never see them again." As a final push, Frisk told him that She would never forget the past timelines, and always remember her mistakes, and learn from them. Sans nodded solomnly, and memories came flooding back, he shook his head "na, im rootin for ya kiddo."
Eventually she saved Asriel too, despite being pushed to .000000001 hp, "Im so alone, Chara…..Im afraid….Chara…..im….im" His form turned again, but this time into a small goat child wearing a green and yellow striped shirt. "Im so sorry…." Asriel talked about how he regretted his actions as a flower, and how he wouldn't blame Frisk if she hated him, but She forgave him anyway. Asriel talked about the souls, how they all seemed to care for Frisk, despite not knowing her for more than a day. He used the souls to break the barrier, and set everyone free. "So thats how we knew your name….." The current Frisk nodded "I went all the way back to the ruins, telling everyone the barrier was broken, and found Asriel at the end….I wanted to do something, anything, to bring him back, but there was nothing i could do, i had considered resetting, but if Chara took me over again….im sorry mom, Asgore….but….I didn't want to risk hurting anyone again, he told me about Chara, how she used her soul to take over Asriel and try to get him to kill the humans, but he refused and instead died."
Toriel and Asgore were in tears "Our child…...Frisk we do not blame you for not wanting to go back, you went through too much to finally get us out, and if you getting controlled again was a risk, i am glad you did not take it." Asgore said, putting his hand on Frisk's shoulder Toriel agreed "I would not wish you to go through all of that pain once more my child…..and I know Asriel would not want that either." Alphys spoke up "w-wait….he came back with soul power right?! Frisk i have been meaning to let you know, the scientific community is considering accepting people who offer their souls for scientific research…..of course, the participants would be willing, and would essentially sign forms as one who wished to donate their body to science, though the matter of ethics is being discussed! I-if the idea passes…..we could in theory bring Asriel back without you resetting at all!" Everyone's eyes went wide, Frisk grinned "Wait are you serious?! I mean i know that there would of course be a LOT of issues with that…..but the deaths would be natural right? No actual hurting involved, and willing souls to boot, so…..that may be the best plan ever Alphys! There is one more memory I want to show you all…..this one is actually a happy one."
Frisk shared the memory of Her and Sans in a field, She talked about the Reset option….about not wanting to go back, even though it felt like giving up on Asriel, the risk was too great, they saw her break the option, sans pull her into a tight hug….and heard her call him "dad" for the first time. Everyone got up, they knew everything now, the nightmares, and everything Frisk went though, Gaster eventually spoke up "Frisk, we may want to keep you here under a sleep study, if what you said is true, Chara may be trying to drive you mad instead so she can take control easier, Sans, Alphys i have an idea that would allow us to enter Frisks mindscape so that everyone may assist her, but it will take a lot of work." Sans and Alphys agreed and the 3 brightest monsters had gone into the lab to begin their work, meanwhile everyone else stayed to Comfort Frisk and continue her day untill it would be time to do the study, Everyone felt a sense of hope, hope that they could save Frisk, as she has saved them.
Authors note: Well i did say i would leave the option open, that debate on donated souls would take a long time, I am glad that people actually enjoy my work, yall are awesome, see ya in the next chapter.
