Chapter Nine: Hopes and Dreemurrs
I rubbed my eyes as the sun-like light faded away, and turned to face my…opponent.
Asriel Dreemurr was much more intimidating in person than on a computer screen. He was tall, almost the same height as his father. His gigantic horns curled around his floppy ears, a brief snarl revealing his sharp fangs. His purple robe fluttered in the turbulent wind of the void we were in. A heart shaped locket acting as the clasp for his cape. The prince's red eyes stared back at me, his usually black sclera now glimmered silver.
'What is this?' Chara was shuddering and I could her feel her body, holding on to my back out of Asriel's sight.
"The power of an eight SOUL Boss monster." Asriel grew angry at hearing the doctor's voice, but didn't yet attack, as if waiting for some event.
"This is the end. Just give up human. Only Frisk could ever defeat me, and that's because I let her win." I crouched down into my best combative stance, and the fallen monster only laughed snidely.
"Together we will stand a chance against you." Gaster denied Asriel's boast.
"You're an old weak fool Gaster! Even combined you don't have enough determination to stop me! I am a GOD!"
The god like being floated up into the air, and he slowly hovered toward me.
"In another time and place, it would be Frisk standing here while I tried to Reset this world once again." He had a cruel smile on his face, and snapped his fingers. The void started to glow, and I felt a strange power surging upwards.
Two certain buttons flashed into existence, and I prepared myself to run with everything I got. His hand blurred as he tried to smack one of the button down,
[Erase] [Do Not]
I succeeded in blocking his press of Erase, and he frowned in response.
"You're the only thing standing in my way. The worst part is that you think you even stand a chance."
"I…"
Wasn't going to give up like that. I still had had things to do, people to meet, I had someone to protect. I would fight to protect the ones that I love, wherever and whoever they are.
"I don't care if you think I can't win! I will fight to protect this world." I heard a sonic boom, as I threw both buttons thousands of meters away. I heaved a bit under the sheer force I had exerted.
"Fool! You will DIE!" I didn't even have time to raise my shaking hands up as Asriel Dreemurr fired off Star Blazing. Each time hit like a truck and I felt my SOUL start to break apart.
"Now let us finish this world and move on to the next."
I heard his footsteps echo in the empty void, as well as the pulse of world destroying power getting ready to be unleashed.
—But the Earth Refused to Die(Hybrid Orchestral Cover)—
No…I won't let you destroy this world.
I grasped my chest, and I felt my SOUL shatter into a million pieces. I was fading away…but an incredible power filled my veins. I could feel the hearts of everyone in the world beating as one. I stood back up, and marvelled at my hand. I could see it shifting between mine, and the hands of others fighting a similar battle.
'What is this?' I couldn't help but as what was happening.
'She's losing controls of tens of thousands of timelines every second we are in this place. Brief cracks are letting us glimpse those other worlds.' Gaster explained it to me with strain in his voice, as his power was used to keep me alive.
I could feel the hope and desperation of a million timelines coming together. This battle would change the fate of this world. There was a humming and I heard a distant stagger in a place unknown. I felt this strange power, and rubbed aside a flow of red. I heard footsteps behind me and a small hand pressed on my back. The hand felt like lightning as my new power multiplied a hundred fold.
"W-What!?" I smirked as my SOUL mended itself from the brink of death. I acknowledged the fallen child, and she gave me a sweet smile.
"But it refused…" A flash of red light filled the Void, and a flabbergasted God of Hyperdeath turned to face me.
Hopes and Dreams started to blare through nonexistent speakers shaking the entire plane of existence with pure sonic power.
"How are you doing this?!" Asriel had grown quieter as I took ever more steps toward the broken child.
"Just…keep moving…" Chara was pushing me forward and I lowered into a stance again. Asriel looked shocked, and he prepared another attack.
"Heh…you're going to have to try a little harder than that." The entire Void rippled as something tore through it, and Asriel stumbled.
"Y-You can't defeat me! Not when I'm so close to seeing her again." He flinched as his ears perked up to hear something. The silver in his eyes grew stronger and neither and his body spasmed.
"Don't be an idiot Azzy!" Chara shouted out trying to reach out to her brother.
"C-Chara…no, no, you're tricking me it's ALL A LIE!"
I shuddered as the Determination surging through us, manifested into the battle screen for one last time. He saw right through through the increasingly solid girl peeking out from behind me.
"CHARA IS GONE! BUT I CAN BRING HER BACK! SHE PROMISED!"
"Who promised Asriel?" He shut up shortly after, and I knew what came next.
"I…It doesn't matter! I'll just kill you right now!" He shuddered with the raw power of GOD, and I let out a deep breath dripping determination from my mouth.
A massive wave of light rushed me, and I groaned as I held back the tide of the End. Chara was holding on as her body was lifted by the hypercane level winds battering us down. I threw myself to the side dodging a slice from his Chaos Sabers. He spun, and I blocked an endless tornado of blades and magic. But with with each hit I felt ever more powerful.
"How!?" As Asriel tried to strike another blow, he was knocked away from me with a powerful beam of energy.
Is…that a—? Dozens of Gaster blasters surrounded the former flower, and fired. The explosion reverberated across the false and empty air around us. Asriel let out a shout of pain, as dozens fired at once, singing his fur.
"I managed to provide the human with a huge source of Determination from my own body. I would explain more but you're not worth the effort as you are now." Gaster sounded smug as the prince roared. I felt the power surging into me from Chara's source of contact, but it seemed oddly small. I shook my head, as the sky rumbled with an incredible aura.
Hundreds of blasts of rainbow energy, crashed into the ground around us like blazing meteors. I focused on my hand, a massive spear shuddering between seven colors. I jumped and weaved out of the way as the magical missiles honed in on me. Any I couldn't dodge I blocked with the spear, sparks flying with each hit.
There was a sudden shift in the wind and Asriel had now snuck up behind me. He readied a Chaos Blaster, but instead of having my molecules scrambled I was protected by a wave of blue magic knocking the blaster and the attack off course.
"Star Blazing!" The goat monster screamed in apocalyptic rage and thousands of stars rained down. A green shield protected me, blocking hundreds of falling stars. My need to persevere skyrocketed, I couldn't lose here.
"DIE!" I felt a red hot pain, as a Chaos Saber sliced a bloody hole through my lower stomach area. I held something wet in my hand that I didn't want to describe and time seemed to revert itself immediately.
I blinked and with a scowl grabbed ahold of Asriel and bounced him around the infinite room with glee. The Gaster blasters didn't seem able to attack and I frowned.
'Child focus your magic within them and they will come.' The skulls came to life, emitting purple light and firing wildly. Dozens of beams fought against the continuous rain of stars until the rain faded to a trickle.
Asriel rushed me, and I felt my bones nearly crack as a near limitless weight pressed against me. The ground underneath us shattered like glass, and I felt the power in me weaken ever so slightly. He grabbed me by the neck, and knocked me against the hard floor.
"S-Shit!" I let out a wet cough, and pain rose up in my chest. I felt a liquid that tasted like iron flood out from my mouth. I lightly touched where it was flooding out from.
Blood…I feel something like a liquid filling my lu—
Oh…
My SOUL broke apart again, and I reformed just as quickly as I left.
I fought the prince in this space again and again, over and over. I blocked a Saber with my spear, and as Asriel hesitated I let loose a purple punch. The goat kid exploded hundreds of meters back, and I gave a small smirk in response. Waves upon waves of attacks, destroyed my SOUL. I shook my head as I was revived and I continued to fight despite the terrible fear and horror. My borrowed determination brought me back to life each and every time I died, but I could feel the void tugging on to my SOUL.
"Hah…"
I scowled as I summoned the strange spear again, it's light had faded and my knees were shaking. I sliced open Asriel's chest, but the wound closed quickly spilling nothing.
"You can't take much more of this can you? Each time you die, this world forgets you more and more." Asriel looked ecstatic and and manifested his Chaos Blaster. I dodged it at the last second, rolling on the ground and avoiding a stomp to the neck. I jumped and even reflected a few beams of energy, then blocked a Chaos slash with the spear.
Asriel slashed each time with increasing power and precision and I felt what seemed like a bottomless power start to wane. Even then the crackle of the air was still more than enough warning to dodge the dozens of bolts of lightning spearing the ground with their strikes. But with each follow up attack I could feel the hesitation and weakness within.
"You…don't really want to do this do you Asriel?" He flinched and I dodged under another Chaos Saber. My body was shaking under the exertion and I knew I needed more.
"You think this will bring her back! Destroying the world will kill her Asriel. You're being tricked and manipulated like a puppet by a being that doesn't care."
Oh god that really pissed him off!
Why do I keep trying to anger beings so much stronger than me…?
"SHUUTT UPPP!" He fired off all of his signature attacks at once. I was singed and burned by an endless inferno of fire magic. I was battered and cut by the rain of Star Blazing. Electrocuted and crushed by Shocker Breaker, slashed by the rainbow light of Chaos Saber. I kneeled to the ground narrowly moving out of the way of the open maw of Asriel's blaster ready to kill me. A second beam fired and I dodged at the last second, the beam giving me a little hair cut.
Asriel spun around as Gaster summoned his blasters, evading the beams of evil killing light. Small bite of crystals fell out of the odd goop I was wearing, and they exploded with incredible energy.
Fire, Ice, Water, Lightning, Gravity, and Wind fell upon the ascending God like a storm. He was forced to his knees by Nature's Wrath, and with a roar crushed the stream of nature to a trickle. The prince's face twisted in rage and he screamed.
"HYPER GONER!"
Oh god! I ran backwards avoiding the strange bullets as what felt like the entire universe being swallowed up by the cackling God of Hyperdeath passed me by. I reached for the determination once more and but found nothing left. I turned around to find that Gaster was gasping for air, his body shimmering and unable to give me another boost.
"Something is missing, the determination of the three of us should be en—." He seemed to come to a realization and shook his head.
"Chara please…we need your full power." The Fallen child was shaking, barely able to look her adoptive brother in his raging eyes. "There is more than enough matter in the air to complete the process."
"I…but I don't des—." I grabbed her by the head pulling her into a hug, and she froze solid.
"Yes you do deserve another chance. If you feel guilty for what you've done then help fix it!"
I hoped she would take my words to heart, maybe if I talked more?
"Now will you help me protect this world. Will you help us protect all life from destruction. Will you help us save Asriel." I offered her my hand, waiting patiently.
"I…" She trailed off before humming in thought.
Asriel Dreemurr was in his final form but something seemed to stop him from slaughtering us. As she watched the angelic being that was once her brother, she closed her fists and started to march toward her brother. With each step, she grew more solid, and the floor gave away to her weight more and more until…
A bright light blinded us, and a great wind sent the dreaming prince reeling. With a wave of his hand hundreds of purple comets crashed right into Chara. I felt reverberations across the very fabric of reality as they made contact. I blocked with a shield as countless amounts of bullets were bounced away by an unseen force.
The serial murderer took a step back in confusion as the cloud of dust cleared. A pulsing red heart let out a shockwave, and Asriel took another step back in shock as a figure could be seen. In the dust cloud's place was an orange shield as Chara blurred and with a powerful palm strike broke her brother's large nose. The 20 foot monster gripped his bleeding sensory receptor, dripping black liquid to the floor.
The barely teenager's body was shining, a thin and fiery aura shifting between red, blue, and orange. The goat monster eyes widened to impossible size, and growled ferally.
"No…that's not…" Hope seemed to grow in the beings eyes, and he reached out for his adoptive sibling. She smiled gently, but then frowned as the goat started to spasm uncontrollably. The massive monster sunk into the ground, his claws leaving divots in the floor.
"REAL!" A barrage of red beams fired across the emptiness of the void, and I had to duck out of the way.
"I remember…"
'At least a little…' I recoiled back in shock at what she meant. A teary eyed Chara took even more steps toward her brother. Gaster was smiling and he raised my hand into the air, along with his.
"What are you…?" The darkness was replaced by millions of vast tears, and a rippling of Determination made me shiver.
"Just wait and see, and get ready to move." I nodded as Chara let out another shockwave.
"I remember now what happened all those Resets ago." Her brother took a step back, as she walked closer.
"I wanted to save you, so we reset as many times as we could. Because I thought, if we could change your fate maybe I could also change mine." Chara laughed bitterly.
"But no matter how many times we tried we failed again and again. The both of us thought that eventually something's got to give. And it did…" Chara was smiling openly now, the happiness clear to see in her bright eyes.
"With each good Reset we grew to love everyone more and more, and I already loved you so much. I know that Demon inside you is responsible for so much pain and suffering, but I'm…grateful to her. She made this possible." Chara waved around the pulsing gateways, each one glowing with every color of the rainbow.
"With each Reset I understood just what it meant to be human. All the traits that can change the world." For a moment, Chara's SOUL became the color of each soul trait, and I blinked as tears trailed down her face.
"We made mistakes and took risks and over time…" Chara trailed off, and let out a bittersweet chuckle. "We learned how to show mercy, how to show love…" I stood up and leaped to her side, and did my best to look calm and serious.
I could feel it…
This was it…
THIS WAS IT!
"NO MORE RESETS!" Chara yelled out, and I closed my fist, feeling the power. The strange armor I had slipped off and reformed into Gaster wearing a serious expression.
"THIS TIME!" Gaster's eyes let out beams of red and orange light, hundreds of skeletal hands coming together.
"WE END THIS!" I couldn't help but join in. We had to do this,we had to save everyone.
FOR…
"THE SAKE OF EVERYONE'S HOPES AND DREAMS!" I closed my eyes remembering that if we lost…
That my friends and family would die…that my country would die, that my world would die. I will never let that happen… I pointed my finger at the growing monster, his power multiplying beyond anything ever seen before. I could feel the distant pulse of whatever had set these events in motion lending its power to the monster child.
"IT'S TIME TO FACE TOMORROW!" We spoke as one to the now mountain sized angel of death. We took flight, swerving around the constant avalanche of red beams and boulder sized comets. From the portals millions of SOULS lended their power, to fight the Demon that had taken control of the countless timelines.
"ASRIEL!"
The void shifted to an infinite array of colors as every timeline came together to end the cycle of Reset once and for all.
We took the leap…
I bounced up on every crevasse and gap on Asriel's body, dodging and or parrying each turn of light and rock he was sending to destroy us. The prince flailed as he was attacked by the other SOULS. He was distracted and I could feel the real Asriel fight with all his might to free himself. I was trying to reach out for the SOULS trapped within him while Chara fought him with the power of her SOUL.
But I needed to get closer…to help them. The furry mountain I was climbing shook, as massive orange fist smacked right into the monsters solar plexus equivalent. I nearly fell off until a single Red soul lifted me up and with a pulse of blue magic bounced me up right onto Asriel's shoulders. I paled as Asriel's bus sized pupil honed in on me. He lifted up his hand to crush me like a bug, and I was paralyzed as that massive paw came down.
I heard a loud boom, and then a scream of pain as thunderstorms obscured his eyesight. The elements of nature rained down on the monster, an infinite array of bullets reducing his power with each hit. Entire mountains of earth rose up and he stumbled as they rammed into his vulnerable body. A firestorm forced him to bleat in agony, the magically intense heat beyond his insane pain threshold. Thousand meter spikes of ice, pierced his body keeping him in place. I climbed up higher and ducked under gravitational distortions that warped his altered body. A watery roar warned me of the tsunami pressing down on him, and I swam with the current reaching his chin. Once I reached the top of his head I gestured for Chara to follow. A tornado of SOULS wrapped the monster in a powerful vise and he let out a bout of sun hot fire in frustration.
"You are only delaying the inevitable." A quiet machine like voice shook the literal mind palace we were in.
"ENOUGH!" The voice seemed silent for a moment, and I heard a chuckle of amusement(?).
"I DO NOT CARE WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK WE CAN'T WIN!" I took a deep breath after the rare outburst.
"I'm sick and tired of feeling useless. Tired of you thinking you can use us as your playthings for your sick experiment. I'm a soul of Perseverance god damn it, I should act like it!" I galloped right toward Asriel's face, Chara catching up as the other Determination SOULS slingshot her. I was blinded by by a light and found myself with Chara in a black void, with two large windows letting in light.
We were staring through his eyes… The GOD of Hyperdeath was trying to swat the SOULS out of the sky and failing. A spear of orange magic struck him, and the entire SOUL cage shook. We searched around the smaller mindscape and the darkness intensified as we drew away from the two lights.
"Where is every—." Chara ducked under a fire blast, and spun away narrowly avoiding a red trident. I heard flapping as Toriel and Asgore's respective clothing blew in the weak wind.
"This is for your own good."
"I do this for the good of my people." Both attacked, and I blocked the firestorm with a rippling green shield. It cracked and then exploded but fortunately the volley had ended and it was now our turn. Chara's leaked tears and ran into the arms of her mother.
"Mom please snap out of it, we need to save everyone." Toriel shivered and I could hear her murmur quietly. I turned to the king and smiled weakly.
"King Asgore I'm not gonna hurt you so stop fighting." I begged him and my smile widened as he stumbled.
Chara flipped backwards as her lost mother swiped a fiery arm. I formed another spear, shining a reddish purple only. I swiped the weapon detonating the incoming projectiles. A twist of my hips added momentum and power to the parry of his trident. In the brief interval, I threw his trident away from him, and reached out to him with my hand.
"You said you were offering a place in your family and your kingdom right? I'm offering a place for you in mine. We need you so we can save everyone's souls, so we can save your child's SOUL." A bright light blinded me, and the strange fiery static covering their faces vanished. I grinned as the King took my offered hand and shook it vigorously.
"My golly you're right." He turned and his expression shifted into shock at his former wife crying onto his dead child's shoulders. Both of the women were crying, and he rushed to them with haste. Toriel moved a little back, and Asgore lightly gripped his daughters delicate chin.
"You need to go and help the other monsters." Chara sounded hesitant and both of her parents reluctantly vanished. We went even deeper, and I focused on any aura I could sense. I heard two familiar voices, and gestured Chara to follow.
The whistling sound saved my life, and I ducked under a transonic bone attack that had Papyrus written all over it. Chara yelped and ducked backwards, as the signature bwoom of a Gaster blaster missed.
There the two bone brothers stood in combat stances, their smiling faces blocked by the static.
"just give up. I did."
"I MUST CAPTURE A HUMAN!"
"Don't give up sans, you're the one who told me not to, remember!" I shouted out the shorter skeleton while Chara aimed for Papyrus.
"You don't need to capture a human to be great! Why not give your friends a good meal!" Both stumbled, and I narrowly avoided getting my head sliced in half by a death beam. I fell to my knees as I suddenly felt 10 times heavier, as my soul was turned blue. I couldn't help but smirk despite the situation as an idea came to my
"Hey don't weigh us down so much skelebros. The both of you should know the gravity of the situation." I heard a chuckle from sans and a groan from Papyrus and then sensed the powerful fog lifting from their minds. I jumped over the row of bones, gritting my teeth as I lifted my SOUL up into the air. I rolled around another blast, and Chara cut one in half with a small red knife.
"I think the both of you need a break. You need to catch up with Gaster anyway." Chara smiles not unkindly at her mentor's children, and in a flash they had returned to their senses.
"YOU'RE RIGHT HUMAN! WE HAVE NOT SEEN OUR FATHER IN SO LONG!"
"heh. thanks for reminding us. I know you can end this once and for all." We nodded and as they started to flash away, I pulled the both of them in a hug, lifting the both of them up in the air.
"WOWIE! A GENUINE SIGN OF AFFECTION!" I nodded and they faded away with a happy wave.
I ignored the smug look on Chara's face as we searched for the next lost SOUL. Chara then eeped and tackled me, pushing me out of the way of a blue spear. Two spears formed into shields, and we blocked the incoming swarm of spears.
"All humans must die!" Undyne boomed as she entered the scenes, her face obscured and her voice filled with righteous fury.
"Oh jeez!" Each spear came in faster and faster, and I put more force behind my blocks. I stood my ground and felt a wide smile pull at my lips. Undyne wanted to smile back but couldn't. I felt tired and my legs and arms hurt a fair bit, and it gave me an idea.
"UNDYNE! REMEMBER YOU WANTED TO TRAIN US! OR DID YOU LIE TO US!" Undyne seemed offended, and the static shrunk. She pointed to Chara and dozens of spears struck where she had been. Chara had run off, and while in midair bounced the spears away. She smirked until a spear smashed into her face, and she was thrown down onto the ground. Chara growled and ran towards the fish monster, and cart wheeled over the fray of spears until her turn started.
"Undyne…come on FIGHT IT! You're a good guy, you're supposed to defeat evil not become it! BE ANIME!" Chara bellowed out with enthusiasm, pumping up our fish sensei.
"NNGGAAHHH!" Undyne ripped off the face obstruction with her bare hands, breathing heavily all the while.
"I WON'T LET THAT DEMON BITCH WIN! I'M COUNTING ON YOU TWO TO GET THINGS DONE!" I gave her a thumbs up, and she laughed with a "fufufu!".
"Now I'm holding you to those lessons kid!" She faded into particles and nearby sniffling told me our next stop.
I felt a tingle as lightning bolts struck me, and shook my head to get my bearings. With a finger gun I blew up the small number of Mini Metta's rearing to kill us. Chara ran up, and with a high high kick smashed another robot to metal bits.
"You must hate me…" Alphys cut in, directing her gaze to Chara.
"I don't hate you Alphys…I could never hate you." The lizard monster trembled at Chara's words. Dozens of robots circled around her in a protective sphere and with a wave of blue they were knocked out of the sky.
"Heeyyy Alphys…Undyne wants to kiss you!" Alphys flushed and stammered, and I responded with a fist pump in victory as the cloud faded to near nothingness. The bolts felt like mere static shocks, and I giggled as they tickled my body.
The fallen child had a harder time, as bombs exploded around her. She swatted then away with a flat knife, or used lasers to prematurely detonate them. She crushed a drone with a violent karate chop, and it split into two even pieces. Chara got a mischievous look on her face and hollered.
"HEEYY! Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 2 is better than 1!"
"H-HEY NO IT'S…not?" Alphys shook the stars out of her eyes, and the remaining bots dissipated. She stiffened at the look we gave her and chuckled nervously.
"Uh hey, and um thank you…". I gave her a thumbs up, and flash of light followed as she closed her eyes.
The void felt empty, but I knew there was still someone else to SAVE. I felt a pang in my heart and felt both fists curl up.
Two SOULS to save in fact…
"Stop! The experiment is not yet complete!" I ignored the alien voice, and nearly tripped on nothing as an image of Asriel's body getting skull bashed by a massive Gaster blaster flashed through my head.
Where is she?
Where is she?
I felt frantic as we surveyed the area, until I found a strange eldritch darkness. I pointed to the strange goopy area, and Chara nodded, forming a knife for defense. I felt the weight increase, and with no hesitation I grabbed Chara by the stomach and exploded into action. A sonic boom later and we had punched through the black goo.
There in the center of the small room, I felt a strange presence and I decided to push it out, since it was giving me a headache. The strange will seemed to give up, and while gripping Chara's wrist I rushed to the two chained figures.
There in her usual tattered blue and purple striped sweater and laying down in a lotus position…
Was Frisk…
The same fog as everyone else in this prison covered her face. Her shaking arms chained down by a strange black metal, with red electrical sparks coming off of them. Asriel was just more of the same, and I could hear him murmur in fear and terror. Chara followed my gaze and nodded, kneeling down to face her brother directly.
"Hey Frisk…" I frowned as I tapped her chin, waiting for her to reply, to say anything. She tried to pull away but I didn't let her, first pulling her into a hug. And then proceeded to tighten my hold on the poor girl. I hissed as red spikes tried to imbed themselves into my skin, my aura taking the hit for me. A sound a lot like glass cracking sounded with each spike, and I took a deep breath as my shield weakened.
Chara was a little more active having to dodge small flames, and the occasional vine before tackling the small goat monster to the ground.
"I don't want to go…" Asriel, the real Asriel whimpered in his siblings arms.
"Remember who you are Azzy. We were the hopes and dreams of all monsters. We can end this." One black chain loosened and then fell, the invasive fuzz of his mind weakening.
I felt a stronger pang in my chest looking at the state of the young girl.
"Frisk please don't leaf me alone." I grinned weakly at Frisk's weak but amused giggle, and then ruffled her matted hair response. Her next wave of attacks felt nearly painless, like a little bee sting rather than being stabbed by a hatchet.
"HEEYY Pacifrisk, can you wake up for me please? I…don't want you to go." I heard a weak sniffle as my grip tightened. "Stay Determined, you still have someone to visit don't you? We have to get out of here, we have to go…home." I felt a pulse and then a crack as the chains were torn apart.
"Brandon…" She looked up to with tears running down her face, and she collapsed into a sobbing mess.
"I…it hurt! It was s-scary! The voices…the screams…I want to go home!" She blubbered and I felt a shiver run down my spine. I couldn't imagine what it felt like to be anywhere near that abomination.
"And we can do that right now." We turned to face a guilty looking Asriel holding hands with Chara.
"I won't let you!" The SOUL trap broke as the mountain sized God of Hyperdeath collapsed. We hit the black ground hard, and I rubbed my sore rear. I could hear the confused chattering of what felt like millions of monster and humans coming together in a cacophony of sound. I felt a pull on my SOUL and resisted with all my remaining strength. Out in the vast distance I could see hundreds, thousands, no millions of end antagonists fighting against the tide, and the pull started to taper off. Asriel reached for my hand, and with some trepidation I decided to lend him my SOUL. However a small plop heralded the fall of a familiar shape into this dimension.
"What in god's name is that thing?"
Red…
The black shape in the distance rippled with lightning, but instead of an awesome battle it merely stopped and made way to leave.
"Timeline Experiment is a failure…we will find another way."
A powerful suction sound started to pull us in, and I flailed as my feet left the ground. All the Monsters of our timeline held onto each other as a white portal consumed them one by one. Gaster had softened the speed with his magic, and soon I only knew light.
…
…
I felt a warm sensation gently caress my body and murmured as nine other voices joined me.
"Wake up!" A furry paw smacked me in the face and I lashed out in irritated anger. A small feminine hand stopped me, and my eyes opened wide in shock.
We were back in the original black void with only Asriel, Chara, Gaster, me and something else within it. I shuddered as what felt like spacetime itself snapped back into place, the countless parallel world's cut off for the time being. I realized I wasn't lying on the ground, I was instead in a lazy orbit around the prince.
"Howdy!" Asriel waved, looking mighty goatish at my glare. 7 glowing lights started to materialize around the young goat like monster, and I jolted as a Purple Heart brushed me by.
"Is…is it over?" Asriel thumbed behind himself toward the odd pressure.
"It wants to talk with you." I scowled as a red eye gave me a spotlight. The god like power it once possessed seemed almost entirely absent, though it was still far stronger than any individual human or monster.
"You have only delayed what is coming…" I raised an eyebrow, and I marvelled at the sudden pair of gonads I had, willing to stare down in the face of a god.
"I still have this weird feeling that we can win." I felt a little queasy as a dark and bitter chuckle echoed across the room.
"Perhaps you can human…I look forward to seeing what your kind will bring to a battle that has raged for an entire stellar lifespan."
"You can leave now…" Only Chara would dismissively shoo away a mountain sized mass murderer. The shadow slowly faded away into dust and ashes, it's eye focused on us for a final time.
"We'll meet again." The cloud vanished and I breathed a sigh of relief.
A strong wind started to pick up, as the floating SOULS spun around the sole monster at a faster and faster pace. I flinched as a resounding crack created a constant shaking in the chamber.
—Final Power—
I could feel…the barrier was folding in itself, as a power greater than seven SOULS rammed into it.
Asriel gave us a sad and weak smile, and Chara looked frightened.
"Don't worry about me Chara…I'll be okay. I think…this time I can finally be healed. I can feel the love and compassion of everyone in the Underground, and I can feel a piece of my SOUL I thought lost." Thousands of monster SOULS joined us and a felt a crescendo of desperate voices, I even heard my own sing by their side.
"So now…let me set Monsterkind free for the last time."
The assault on the barrier started to break another great power and I smiled as I slowly fell into unconsciousness. The same story repeated itself a million times, and I knew the threat of this power would no longer exist.
RESET
Another crack as the power of a GOD slowly dissipated into nothingness.
*ESET
BANG!
**SET
BWOOM!
*The barrier was destroyed*
…
…
"Wake up! This is all just a bad dream…! Please wake up…!"
