So here we are. Part one.
The chapter is also extra long, just because I didn't know how long it would take everything.
CHAPTER 8: Finale Part I: Erase
"Okay, Chara, are you ready? Do your creepy face!"
Chara nodded at the friendly monster Asriel and prepared their so called, creepy face. The creepy face was one the many things Asriel had learned from Chara in the amount of time the human had stayed with the Dreemurrs. It was around the time when Chara fed buttercup flowers to the king that Asriel started to get used to the adopted human's personality.
It had been exactly six months since they last saw the royal scientist at all. It has also been six months since they had heard from their little pawns. Were the two really still planning out everything? It didn't really need to take that long to finish either of the plans Chara was going to execute. The Demon Child had met up with their slaves once or twice every month, but they hadn't asked Hatred and Agony were close to finishing their project. The human released a sigh from within.
As Chara made their mouth smile, they felt a hot, burning pressure on their face. Something... was different. They didn't open their eyes, but yet they felt pleasure in opening their eyes. They tried to stop smiling, but yet their smile stretched out across their face madly. They looked straight at someone who was smiling back. The monster from six months ago. With a red scarf in his hand.
They tried to move out of their position of madness, but couldn't. They were only able watch from an unfamiliar perspective. The long hallway the two were in was well recognized by Chara. It was one of the many places the human had traveled through to make it to, what Chara called, New Home. The human called this place, Judgment Hall. Where they were being judged for every single action. Or at least the person Chara was seeing out of was being judged.
"that expression on your face. that's the expression of... hang on." The skeleton's smile dropped, but almost immediately appeared as he laughed at Chara's host and his eyes seemed to disappear entirely. "that expression on your face. that's the expression of a dirty brother killer. a dirty mother killer. a dirty... well, you get the point kiddo. that's why you have that knife after all. i watched you kill every single one of them. and so, i am here to judge you appropriately."
The host's arm rose and pointed their knife right at Sans. The host had similar clothes to Chara and Asriel. Stripped, but not the same color. At that moment, the host released a laugh that brought Chara back to their world.
THE NEW MISSION. WE NEVER FORGOT. IT IS COMPLETE.
Asriel fell over onto the dirt ground backward with the camera as Chara heard the combined voice. A combination of Hatred and Agony's voice. They had been contacting Chara ever since they fell down into the Underground. Ever since Chara had RESET into coming back to there. Chara sometimes thanked their Gaster for telling them all about their power they had. They would abuse the power more, but they were only able to muster enough DETERMINATION to RESET and give DETERMINATION to Hatred and-
Chara blinked. The messages they got. The visions were because the human gave the imaginaries DETERMINATION. They sent messages from the past, and possibly the future, to have Chara notice something. They gritted their teeth with a single thought.
I'm the one supposed to be in control. I'm the one who is supposed to own the DETERMINATION. The two better have a plan. Now.
Asriel got back up and scratched the back of his head, as he faced Chara again. The human removed the tension from themself and gave a surprised expression back at the monster. The monster giggled from his fall. Asriel looked at the camera the was still in his grasp and gasped.
"Oh! Wait! I had the lens cap on..." Asriel took the small, black lens off of the sleek camera and aimed it once again at Chara. Chara on the other hand, created a smile in between a happy smile and their own creepy smile. "What!? You're not gonna do it again...?" Chara lowered their head and shook it sideways as slow as they could. "Come on, quit tricking me!" Chara and Asriel laughed together as Asriel shut down the camera.
Chara thought to themself and twiddled their thumbs behind their back. They sighed as the words came out of their mouth. "I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll be back for dinner, so don't worry about me." Asriel tilted his head and wondered what his sibling wanted from him. The human knew he would be much interested if they said something like that, so good thing that they didn't have to really give anything away about their plans.
"Alright then. I'll go tell mo-" They cut him off.
"How about we keep my walk a secret?" Chara told him harshly. Their voice was sharp and cold as they reached secret. He raised an eyebrow, but nodded slowly.
"A-alright. I can try my best. I can tell her that we're out playing or something like that." Asriel told them.
They smirked.
Chara knew that somehow, the prince was bound to do what they asked. The human had more than earned his trust at countless things. He didn't even care that much about being called a cry baby from time to time to have them get what they want. Chara makes sure that anybody else isn't in the room, or anything like that. Chara always makes sure someone isn't watching them. Always.
They smiled and immediately ran off. They wanted to finish the mission as quickly as they could.
They ran until they started to sweat. The heat. They were finally at Hotlands. They paused as they took in the heat. Chara giggled. A metal dome could be seen from where Chara stood beside huge rocks. They walked forward a little and they saw the huge building. The CORE.
Before Chara could walk down, they needed to go see Hatred and Agony first. They closed their eyes tightly and brought themself to the SAVE screen with both of them standing ready to inform the determined human.
"Our two plans are ready, my creator." Agony said to Chara.
"Took you two long enough." Chara hissed.
Hatred took a few steps forward toward the child. "We don't have enough time to talk, but we think we'll be able to ERASE Gastah from existence. No one will remember him if we do this. We can talk to you when the time is ready."
Chara nodded and closed their eyes to bring them back to the real world. I hate them. Telling me what to do... Pricks.
Chara walked down the path toward The CORE. They had never been in there before, so they wouldn't know the way around to find and kill Gaster. Luckily, that was before. They traveled there in the past. When they learned about determination. Save points. They were taught about it when they came to meet Gaster in the last reset.
The cold air made Chara shiver. Something was different though. Something changed. Chara shook the thought off, but they knew something was wrong. They kept walking through the CORE to Gaster's laboratory. With every single step they took, it got colder and colder. The air was freezing. Either the air conditioners were turned all the way up to counter Hotlands heat, or something else.
"Demon." The voice was strong and the air got even colder. Cold enough that when Chara would breath, puffs of air could be seen. "Don't you know how to greet the future savior of the Underground. Turn around. And prepare to die."
Before Chara was able to react to what they had just heard, a blue aura covered the child and they were lifted up from the ground and turned around without any control of what they were doing. W. D. Gaster stared at Chara, and they stared back. The human knew that this was it for the scientist. They were going to kill him some how. ERASE as the other two called it.
Chara was flung back to a wall next to one of the many research tables with bottles of liquid on them. There was even an experimenting table with cuffs on them to hold people down. The wall was freezing cold, even colder than the air here. Chara wasn't able to do much, being stuck to the wall from Gaster's telekinesis or something, expect for watching as the skeleton walked slowly toward them, with one hand in front of him and the other behind his back.
Chara needed to at least be able to move their hand, then they might be able to fight the skeleton. They were always prepared, as they kept a knife in their pocket, but they looked around, just in case there were any better weapons for taking on Gaster. There was one. A bigger weapon that they ever hoped for, but it was a bit far away. On one of experimenting tables.
Damn.
Gaster snapped his fingers with the hand that was held out, holding Chara to the wall. The snap rang through The CORE. A gigantic skull, possibly of a goat or something similar, floated right by Gaster's side. The scientist took a few steps forward and the, skull moved into the new empty space, looking directly into Chara's demonic eyes. It's mouth opened and a light slowly flicker inside and began to grow in brightness. Though, the human already knew about it from the last timeline. This was a Gaster Blaster.
"After this, Demon Child," Gaster spoke up, "I'll take your soul. I will obtain all of the power in the world. I will become a god. I will be the one to bring the humans to their knees. I will-"
INTERRUPT HIM. HE'S FOCUSED ON HIS POWER AND NOT ON YOU ENTIRELY.
Chara let a giggle out of their mouth, causing Gaster to stop his speech.
"You know that this was your downfall, right? Last timeline, you told me all about DETERMINATION. The DETERMINATION that you took from my clothes. The ones when we first met. Mom told me that she took my clothing, so, she gave it to you. For your selfish research."
Gaster growled at Chara and took a step toward the blaster. He was focusing his hatred upon them, instead of focusing on his power. He focused on Chara, letting go of his telekinesis power and the blue aura around the human disappeared. Even though the blaster was still there... The Demon Child was free to cause pain.
Chara ran past the Gaster Blaster, just in the nick of time, as the blaster released a blue blaze of light. They didn't look back, but Gaster yelled something at the human. They didn't hear what he yelled at them, instead, all they heard was the loud sounds of new G Blasters zooming right toward the Demon Child. Chara didn't care and focused all of their strength onto getting the hatchet. One of them drifted in front of the human, causing them to stop in their tracks. It opened up it's mouth, but they moved swiftly and jumped on top of it. The Gaster Blaster released it's devastating blast and sound as the child jumped off.
The table was right there, just about their height. Just in front of them was a grey table with the blood and cuffs. And the hatchet. Chara didn't wonder how the blood got there, or why he was testing on others, they just cared about the weapon they needed to fight Gaster with. Chara could hear the charging sound of some of the Gaster Blasters in the background, so they needed to hurry. Chara quickly jumped over the table, collected the hatchet, and then landed on the floor, scraping their knee. The blasters immediately destroyed the table, exposing the wounded Chara.
They had done what they needed done. They took out a small knife from their pocket, a very similar knife to what was used to murder some of the people at the orphanage. In their left hand, Chara slid the knife down to the bare edge of the hilt and in their right, they gripped the hatchet tightly. The human giggled and turned around, to stare at an angry Gaster. There was a word that rang inside Chara's head. A single word.
ERASE
I was barely able to put all of this in, so there will either be two chapters or a chapter and an epilogue. I decided that I wouldn't leave this hanging, so I promise that I will finish.
