Max's POV

I looked down at his heart, the cracks at the top getting bigger, Frisk walks up to me.

"There was nothing we could have done, we didn't know it was him" They say putting a hand on my shoulder.

"He didn't even have his own face! It was like a mix of his and mine! 1 purple eye and one red one, I-I don't know what to say." I reply. I look at them.
"Hey, what is that?" I say, pointing to a note on their shirt. The pull it off and read it.

" It says check your pocket" They say. They put their hand in their pocket and pull out another note and they read it, a tear rolls down their cheek. They pass the note to me, it says:

If your reading this them I'm probably dead. But don't worry,

I'll find a way to get back, If I don't... please RESET. Make sure you are all together and you tell Sans,

he would be pretty mad if you didn't... anyway I hope to see you soon and stay safe.

-Matthew

I pass the note back to Frisk and walk towards the other side of the bridge, past the water cooler, still holding his SOUL. Before I could get any further, a flash of light blinds me for a second, after it passes a shadowy figure appears in front, and traps the SOUL in a see through canister, (One of the ones that contain the other SOUL's) and pulls it towards him.

"I'm sorry for this Max, but he will be safe. And I'd RESET, I'll take care of everything else" He says before disappearing

"Brad?" I say falling to my knees, Chara and Frisk rush up to me.

"Who was that?" Chara asks.

"That. Was my brother, Bradley" I reply "Come on lets get ready to RESET" I say

"What about his SOUL?" Frisk says

"He says he will take care of it" I say, getting back up. I walk back across the bridge and back to Snowdin. Sans appears beside me.

"so what's next?" He asks. I look at him.

"We are going to RESET, and... do a Pacifist run" I say. He looks at me, eyes blacken

"hehehe... after all of that? you want to RESET? and do a Pacifist run?" he says confused

"It's what he wants." I reply, his eyes return to normal.

"ok kid, lets do this" he says. The rest of the group get back to Snowdin. Me, Frisk and Chara lock hands and we look at Sans, a button appears in front us, it says RESET on it.

"see ya in the next timeline" he says. Frisk hits the button and everything goes black...


Matthew's POV, The Void

I look down at myself, I was a ghost again, my SOUL in front of me, in the canister.

"So, why are we here Brad?" I say. Brad appears beside me.

"The Void is the only place which isn't affected by the RESET's or time itself" He replies

"I get it, so what is going to happen to my SOUL" I ask, he look at me and then to my SOUL.

"I'll keep it here but I'll give your ghostly body enough magic to be able to travel around the Underground for a while. Then when the time comes, and when Frisk, Chara and Max reach Asgore, I'll place your SOUL with the others... That is as much as I can tell you just now, I'm sorry" he says, lowering his head. I put my hand on his shoulder and comfort him.

"Brad. It's ok, you don't need to apologize, I'm fine with it." I say he looks at me in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Yes, Brad, I'm fine with it... Now we wait i'm guessing?" He nods and I sit down. He sits down with me and I close my eyes.

"What made you come down here anyway? You haven't told me." He asks out of the blue. I open my eyes and look at him.

"The reason i came down here was because my best friend went missing, I knew exactly where they would go but I didn't expect them to fall down here" I say. He nods again.

"Did you know about your powers or?" He asks.

" I knew about my SOUL but it wasn't after I got into a fight with Flowey that they unlocked." I reply looking into the empty void.

"Ok, that's all I wanted to know" He says. A screen appears with a picture of the start of the RUINS on it. It also showed 2 kids walking into the room with Flowey.

"Ok, that's it, now lets get you enough magic." Brad says channeling magic through his body into me, after a couple of seconds my body became solid and I nod at him.

"I will see you soon Brad" I say,

"If you need to get back here just shout my name and I'll teleport you back here, oh and you can't do anything like attack monsters, I only gave you enough energy to help you get through the Underground." He says, I nod and he teleports me to the room with the yellow flowers.

"Ok, lets do this" I say to myself, the black aura from before swirl around me and I change into my other form, I look at myself again and I had the black armor on. with my swords on my back and the kitchen knife on my hip.

"Well at least it will help me stick to the shadow's" I continue, walking towards the room ahead of me.
