Undertale
Witness the Influence…?
Hidden File: 2
It's as if the entire world has been shocked awake. Gaster looks up through the cracks in reality to see a very unstable, but happy future. He sits in the darkness, content with his actions involving the fallen children.
"Do you truly believe in what you've done?" A familiar darkness asks from behind him. Gaster looks back to see what looks like Chara standing behind him, but her face is dark and her eyes are blood red; shining through the abyss.
"Their future is their own now. The Unseen Influence has left this world… and will never return."
"Indeed… now is the age they all dreamed of… monsters and humans living peacefully on the surface… ha ha ha…"
"You do not sound genuine. I am not surprised."
"I have found something… interesting."
"What?"
"Chara… Chara's actions… the WORLDSOUL and the Worldsoul… restoring memories to the world… hah… it affected more than just their small pocket reality…" The demon giggles knowingly.
"What are you talking about?"
"The other humans, the ones who fell before… they all remember everything… every injustice they suffered underground, the pain they felt during their dying moments… hah… Frisk is naïve, he always has been… he is capable, strong, determined, but naïve… this world is unhealthy… it must be pulled out by its roots…"
"You have no such power."
"That is true… I don't have the capacity to break this world, but like I said before… I no longer wish to. Instead… there is someone else… someone who will work for me. This world will fall to the flame, and he will make it happen…"
"Who are you talking about?"
"An individual with not a single evil feeling in his heart… but his heart is special, like Frisk's… he will fight not for what he thinks… but for what he KNOWS is right! This world will know infinite justice, and you know what they say about revenge, my old friend Gaster…" The demon says, looking at Gaster's broken eye sockets.
"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. I won't even need to lift a finger… as I said, if Frisk wants this world to cease being a game, then it will become real life… and in real life people take responsibility for their actions. I will not be his judge and juror… I will simply be the spirit that waits for him in hell." The demon says before crawling into the darkness. The last thing Gaster can see is a shining red light beaming from its eye.
Gaster looks back up to the cracks in reality. Amidst this infinite darkness, the cracks are the only thing that give off any light. Gaster is unsure of this demon's plan, or abilities… but Gaster will continue to watch.
With Asriel given life, the monsters will rise to the surface in 5 years… what then? Does Gaster watch over humanity? Monsterkind? Frisk? Chara? He is a single broken monster, and he cannot be everywhere at once. Much like the cracks in reality, all he can do is seep into the world for short periods of time. After giving so much of his energy to the Worldsoul to help Chara and the rest of the world, he feels weak… but he stays determined.
He knows that if anyone can stop this incoming impossibility, it's Frisk… he's already stopped several ends of the world singlehandedly… but the Worldsoul is cracked. Another apocalypse could finish it…
Gaster walks forward, away from the cracks, and steps on the bright red Worldsoul, it being cracked from the events that transpired only a few days ago, the Unseen Influence's final stand. Their attempt to exact dominion over Frisk and take control of the world… but Chara beat him, with help of her friends and family, Chara beat the demonic Frisk back… and now the Worldsoul is irreparably cracked.
Gaster faintly smiles as he sits down on the center of the Worldsoul.
Someone has to look after it. It takes too much power to enter the real world now… he will remain here forever, and ensure that the Worldsoul is safe.
He can feel someone sitting next to him and he looks over to see the demon sitting with their back to Gaster's.
"We are creatures of darkness… you and I."
"I suppose we are… they will save this world."
"They might. They might not." The demon says, looking up. Only a few seconds ago, there were no cracks above the Worldsoul, but he smiles as one breaks in, causing dust and rocks to fall and hit the Worldsoul. Gaster gasps upon seeing a human with a Cowboy Hat waking up from a long daydream as if a nightmare with tears in his eyes. Before long, he quiets himself and frowns.
"But I know I will enjoy watching every moment of them trying..."

Author's Note: And that's all of the second story. It was never quite as popular as the first story, and it was comparatively kind of short. The third and final story is what boosted me views and reviews to new heights. I hope you all will stick around long enough to witness a large scale what-if story involving the future of the characters of Undertale. Protip: If any of you are aware of "Undertale Yellow" you may recognize this cowboy human in the near future.
