Asriel:...

Frisk:...

Chara:...*sigh* I suppose I had this coming.

Me: Believe me, this was difficult for me to do. I hesitated greatly. But...I did it anyway. So...here it is.

Flowey: Pfft. That's surprising. 'The previous drabble was full of sunshine and rainbows! Ooh, I know! How about we go back to darkness, only it's worse than last time!'

Me: Shush, Flowey.

Chara: *groan* Oh man...this is gonna suuuuuuuck...

Drabble...Start...


Chara opened his eyes, which were temporarily blinded by a ray of golden sunlight. He felt like he was lying on something soft, yet he was fairly certain that he wasn't in his bed. Because he didn't sense Frisk and Asriel by his sides, cuddling him like they usually do. This was the first indication that something might be wrong. The second would be that he definitely didn't feel like he was lying on a bad. He reached his had to the left and felt the ground below him...

Golden Flowers.

His eyes shot open as he looked around in a bit more detail. He was lying in all of the Golden Flowers that were set before the Ruins. The Golden Flowers that the humans after him were cushioned by when they fell into the Underground. There was no way he could have mistaken it for anything else, it was all too familiar. But that could only mean...

No...it can't! There's no way this can be a True Reset! They destroyed that button!

Chara shot up from the flowers and began moving forward. It would be the only way he would be able to find any answers to why this could be happening. He just...feared the worst. Asriel made a Save Point near the outside of the Barrier so there wouldn't be a total complete erase of all of their progress, all of their hard work. Chara dreaded the thought that such precautionary measures were not enough to prevent a complete RESET. Evem after they tried so hard to make sure that they would never resort to that again. What could have caused this? Why didn't happen?

He wouldn't know unless he explored.

He stepped into an all familiar room, where a single ray of light landed on a patch of grass in front of the entrance to the Ruins. He thought silently about what could possibly happen neck, if this really was a RESET. Indeed, after a couple moments of quiet anticipation, a familiar Flower popped up from the ground, wearing a face of sunshine and happiness.

"Howdy! I'm Flowey! Flowey The Flower!" The flower chants cheerfully, prompting Chara to roll his eyes. However... "But...you already knew that, didn't you?"

What?

"Thaaaaaaat's right. I've finally caught onto your little game." The flower said distastefully. "You thought that I wouldn't eventually figure it out? You think that just because you've destroyed multiple timelines that I wouldn't be able to piece together all of the fragments?" His face darkens. "You thought I wouldn't remember you cutting me to pieces, you damn traitor?!"

Chara blinked and stepped back a bit. "W-Wha-"

"Shut up!" Flowey whipped a vine at Chara, striking him across the face and knocking him down, picking up a bit of dirt. "We were supposed to be a team. We were supposed to become gods together! We were supposed to be PARTNERS!" He lowered his petals a bit, his face becoming blank. "I should have known. You may have tried to be a good person before, but your hate was far too strong, and everyone within your sight became a target of your bloodlust. Your lust for LOVE. Because love is a concept you just couldn't let yourself understand. Unlike me, you don't have an excuse for a lack of compassion! I don't have a soul to hold positive emotions!" He turned slightly. "Your unholy influence latched onto this vessel for my consciousness, and made me become so spiteful and full of hate, leaving behind no positive emotions...you did this to me."

Chara blinked. The horror was sinking in that this may not be Flowey all by himself. But once again... "A...Asriel..."

"HA! HAHAHAHA!" The flower cackled wildly, his maniacal laughter echoing throughout the room. Then he tilted to the side. "Asriel? Who's that? You mean the brother you were closest too? The brother who went through hell because of you? The brother that you got killed?" He stuck his tongue out. "Sorry, you killed him off a long time ago because of your skillful manipulation. There's only Flowey, now."

Chara didn't understand what was going on. Though he didn't have time to try, as he was suddenly grabbed by vines from all around, latching onto his wrists and ankles, preventing movement.

"I won't repeat the mistake of trusting you. I won't give you a chance to gain LOVE if it only serves to help you destroy me later. This time I'll kill you before the opportunity presents itself! We'll see how YOU like being cut to pieces!" His face became more twisted, as a sharp vine emits from the ceiling and pointed it's sharpest point towards Chara.

"DIE."

The last thing Chara saw was the sharp vine piercing right through his chest, and the sight of his soul shattering.

Reset...

Chara opened his eyes and found himself in a bed. He sits up and realizes that he was lying in a bed. Not his bed, though. It was the bed that lied all the way back in the Ruins. The bed he sleeps in now is in New Home, which was where Asgore's home lies. Toriel simply had all of her things moved there. Though he was able to tell that this still wasn't what should be.

Wondering what's going on, he gets out of bed easily enough, and walked out of the room he woke up in, and confirmed the fact that this was Toriel's house in the Ruins...except that it looks like she never moved any of her things. He was being a bit more cautious this time around, because he swore that Flowey...Asriel...whoever it was, might be watching him, if this is what he thinks it is.

He's searched the entire house, wondering where his mother might be. Though through every room he checked, he came up empty. She was nowhere to be seen in the house. The only thing she could be certain of that she was here recently, because there was a warm plate of Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie lying on the table.

Concern itching at him, he made his way to the basement, which would lead to the exit of the Ruins. Making his way down, his fast footsteps echoing off of the walls, he stopped when he sees Toriel standing in front of the Ruin's Door, her back turned towards him. Cautiously, he stepped forward-

"I suppose you have a personal reason for your violence against monsters...did you not?"

Chara stopped immediately, blinking at her words. "Huh...?"

Toriel sighed. "I cannot fully blame you. I have done a poor job in taking care of you and Asriel. My carelessness has gotten you both killed. And years after, six more children came after you. One after another, I've cared for them, nurtured them, tried to keep them safe. Yet despite my efforts...they've all perished." Her head turned, just slightly. "You thought I was replacing the two of you. You believed that I've forgotten all about you, that I no longer loved you because you were gone. Was that the reason you hated me so much? Hated me enough to kill me? You should have known that I would never forget my precious children."

A deep sense of self-loathing began building in Chara's soul. He didn't like the way Toriel was speaking, how her broken voice projected these words. Especially since he's well aware that he's the cause of them. "Mom...that's not...I didn't mean...you..."

"You don't need to say it. You have every right to hate me, I cannot dispute it. However...taking out your anger out on all monsters aside from myself and Asgore...that is not something I can allow." Chara was shocked to see fire gather around her, as she slowly turned to meet his eyes, her own filled with tears. "I am forced to accept the fact that I am not protecting you from the monsters...but the other way around. Your burning hate will destroy them all. But I will snuff out the spark...before it can catch fire again. I am sorry...this is the end between us."

His eyes widened and he stepped back, flames beginning to cover the walls as well as his chances of evasion. He turned towards Toriel, who had closed her eyes so she wouldn't watch herself break her own golden rule.

"Goodbye, my child..."

The flames closed in on Chara, and was could only witness severe burns growing on his arms...before his soul shattered.

Reset...

Chara woke up once again, faster than the last two times. There was no mistaking that he had woken up in Snowdin this time, due to the heavy cold he felt beneath him due to lying down, as well as a couple snowflakes landing on his cheeks. He stood upright and rubbed his neck.

He was at a total loss on what's happening. First Flowey, then Toriel...he was at a loss on why this was happening. There'd be no way for him to tell if this was an actual RESET and he was just loading ahead at different intervals without his own knowledge...

He didn't even see it coming. A bone to the chest seemingly out of nowhere. Chara gasped out as the bone disappeared and he was going on one knee, his sight blurring from the unexpected attack. Though it clears up just about enough for him to gain sight. He looked up, expecting to see Sans...he actually wished it WAS Sans.

It was Papyrus.

Even you, Papyrus...? Chara thought to himself as his consciousness was beginning to leave him. Papyrus stood silently, his red scarf flowing freely with the wind. His face clearly shows regret for what he has chosen to do.

"SANS...HE HAS TOLD ME EVERYTHING." He paused, then slightly shook his head. "I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A FEELING IN THE BACK OF MY SKULL THAT HALF OF HIS DAILY HAPPINESS SEEMS CAREFULLY AND DECEPTIVELY FORCED. THOUGH NOW THAT I KNOW THE TRUTH...I WISHED IT WASN'T SO. YOU PROLONGED MY BROTHERS SUFFERING WITH YOUR CRAVING FOR VIOLENCE. AND FOR THAT, BOTH HUMANS AND MONSTERS HAVE SUFFERED FOR IT. BESIDES...EVERY TIME I OPEN MY ARMS IN FRIENDSHIP FOR YOU, YOU REWARD ME BY SEPARATING MY HEAD FROM MY BODY. SO...I CANNOT OFFER YOU THAT CHANCE ANYMORE. I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT MY BROTHER, FIRST."

Chara groaned, as his blood continues to dribble from his mouth, before he calls facedown in the snow. He heard Papyrus with deeply once again:

"HUMAN, FORGIVE ME FOR MY HARSHNESS...BUT...I NO LONGER BELIEVE IN YOU."

Chara's soul shattered moments after the statement was finished.

Reset...

Chara jumped up this time, finding himself in Waterfall. He rubbed his hair in utter desperation in trying to understand the situation he's apparently been placed in. There was very little chance that this would end anytime soon. The cool and calm waters of said Waterfalls around him was not helping in much for the latter case. Though when it came to the past two experiences he's just been put through, he really did not want to get up.

But he had to.

With great reluctance, he got up and began making his way through Waterfall. On the way, he heard the voices emitting from the Echo Flowers surrounding him. Though the menacing voice that he heard flowing from out of the blue flowers is a sign that his troubles were not over:

You're one cocky little brat, aren't you?

The Echo Flower sounded out to him, and it made Chara feel intensely uneasy. There was no mistaking that voice, it was Undyne's.

Thought we forgot, didnt you? No. HELL no. After a couple times, we start remembering that you were the one who cut us down one after another. And don't think we don't know how and why you're doing this. Heh...you think you're so far above us?

The young human was not liking where this was going, because he was well aware that it lead to something he was very much aware of.

You think you're so damn high and mighty that we're considered nothing more than your playthings thay you can break whenever you want and however you want? You find enjoyment in killing us over and over? Do you seriously have that much hatred swelling up in your soul? And to think, this started because you hated humans enough to screw BOTH races over. Do you have ANY idea how much your selfish, hypocritical, petty bullshit was responsible for sending monsters deeper into the pits of despair?!

Chara felt his soul ache at her words sounding from the echo flowers, because they were the truth. They act more like recorders than anything else...which means she was preparing for this.

Well...It doesn't matter now. You'll never destroy everyone's Hopes and Dreams ever again! I, UNDYNE, WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!

Chara's eyes widened as the blue spear shot through his chest before he could react accordingly. The last thing he saw was the shine of Undyne the Undying's armor, before his soul shattered.

Reset...

Chara kept his eyes wide open this time. He didn't realize that he was walking through the last parts of the Core, which was just a but more distance before he reaches New Home. Then he noticed his phone ringing, and went to answer it.

Ringing...

"Don't think that I haven't figured it out by now. And if you do, you underesrimate my skills as the Royal Scientist." Alphys said angrily, which shocked Chara because of how ice-cold she sounded...Geno Alphys! He remembers this part clearly!

"You're nothing but scum. And you can't justify your terrorizing by using our own crimes. You're the one that forced us into that situation because of your choices long ago that resulted in building our hatred for humans. Hatred strong enough to take out on children. We don't consider ourselves innocent of our transgressions. But I'll be damned if I allow you to use that as an excuse for total Genocide. You're doing this for your own amusement more than anything. You're one sick and twisted piece of nature if you consider Genocide to be fun. If it wasn't for the futility of it, I would kill you myself."

Chara felt his soul clench up again, and he tried to form words. To his shock, this time no words came out. He was completely silent and he didn't know why...then he remembered that most of the time during the runs, Frisk refused to speak unless he really needed to, unlike his free speech now. He remembered directing Frisk into these situations, how miserable he was making Frisk by forcing him to kill off his loved ones...

And he remembered not caring about it.

"You killed Undyne. And you killed Mettaton. The love of my life, and my best friend, respectively. Not to mention Papyrus, Muffet, Toriel, and all the others. I hope you're happy with yourself. Thanks to you, even if you miraculously stop your killing spree...I'll have nothing left to live for. Even if you don't kill me, I might save you the trouble and just do it myself." Chara remembered when heard did this, how little he cared for her feelings. Now that he actually does...it tore at his soul.

And yet, he was still unable to speak.

"I know stopping you at this point is impossible. I know that, and Sans knows that too. After all, no matter how many times he kills you, all it takes is one win for you, and it's all over. Well...fine. I can't stop it. I won't even try. But...if this is the last I'll hear of you, I'm going to say what I've really wanted to say since this disaster began." He heard a pause on the other end of the line. He dreaded what it would say, because already knew. But now he cares about what she thinks of him. After a couple moments, her tone becomes clear, calculated, calm...and colder than the entirety of Snowdin itself.

"I hate you."

Click...

The human child was beginning to wonder why he's being put through this. He actually WISHED that Alphys killed him here. Before he could begin to collect himself...

Reset...

Chara was well aware of this place, and what happens here. He found himself in then golden light of the Judgement Hall, the pillars lined up on both sides. Expectantly, on the other side of the hall, was Sans the Skeleton, with his hood over his head...

And Papyrus's dusty scarf around his neck.

"heya. you're back again, cool." Sans said casually as he took a look around the Judgement Hall, looking like wa simply admiring it. But Chara could still sense the waves of fury pulsing off of his soul. "so...this is like...what? i'm pretty sure we're getting to the hundreds now. that's a pretty big number gap. i wouldn't know though. i stopped counting after eleven. but ya don't really care about that, do ya?"

Chara was once again stuck in the same situation as before, his voice was seemingly impossible to reach. And even if he could, he doubted Sans would listen to him. He hasn't really given the big-boned skeleton many reasons to try. Reasoning was out the door, and actually winning the encounter in the long-run was unthinkable. Sans went all out because of the nearly unfixable consequences if Chara finishes this run.

He knew that Frisk was mostly lost all of his control at this point.

"yeah. i don't really care much about it either. thanks to you and the weed, you've made it close to impossible for me to care about anything. paps. tori. alphys. undyne. asgore. and...frisk." Sans closed his eye sockets. "no matter how hard i try...it becomes harder and harder for me to truly care about other people and what happens around me...because of the world being constantly RESET. my efforts would become pointless with the push of a button. so i kept thinkin'...what's the point? why even try? i gave up on almost everything a long time ago. but...you've really made it difficult for me to stay lazy."

Chara flinched a bit as Sans' tone became lower and lower, yet it still managed to stay threateningly hostile. He was quite disturbed by the fact that he didn't care at all about anyone else thoughts, even with his own soul hijacking Frisk's when he achieved the Heart Locket on a True Pacifist Route.

"...look kid. i kinda already know that stoppin' ya is pointless. it's that kind of situation. when the bad guy wins once..." Sans sighed. "regardless...i can't just sit by and do nothing forever. even if it is hopeless. i can't...not try just because i've already lost. so...i'm not gonna just let you enjoy your victory...i'm gonna make it hurt." Sans took a deep breath and took his left hand out. "frisk. if you can hear me...i'm sorry. i can't just let them win without a fight. i...i hope you can forgive me for not finding a better solution. my job as the judge still stands..."

Chara was fully understanding the consequences of Sans forcing himself to terribly main Frisk in an attempt to keep Chara from winning. He had to keep killing his friend until the evil within him surrendered and gave up. It worked for a while...but like he said, it only takes one win...

Sans's eyes hollowed as Gaster Blasters blinked into existence and aimed towards Chara, who didn't even bother to move. "let's to another round...you dirty brother killer."

Chara sees the magical beams of light strike him head-on, and he felt his soul shatter.

Reset...

There was no way he could mistake this one. He was in Asgore's throne room. And as expected, the one who stood rigbt in front of him was the King himself.

He immediately knew that something was wrong the moment he sensed Asgore's magical presence. His usual friendly, goofy, happy-go-lucky aura was nowhere to be found. Instead was a cesspool of grief, disbelief, shock, boiling rage...and yet all of it was masked by an eerie calmness. He could even hear Asgore sipping a cup of tea, a very slow and steady sip, he was most likely savoring it. After a bit, he placed the teacup back on it's cupboard, and he let out a deep-throated sigh.

"So...you've finally arrived."

Chara was instantly frozen of Asgore's tone. As far as he's known, he's NEVER heard Asgore speak like this. He's only said four words so far and he could feel the underlying anger beneath them. The tone he spoke in demanded complete silence, lest there be fatal repercussions. And he knew that he was the cause of it.

This wasn't the aura of his Goatdad. This was the aura of a rightfully furious King. And it's terrifying.

Asgore sighed again. "Chara...I wish I could say it was nice to see you again...but that would be a cruel lie. Especially after what you've done since your...resurrection." Asgore sipped more of his tea, then set it back down. "I remember. You approached me and felled me with a single blow, when I was unwilling to fight. Allow me to tell you now...I won't make that mistake this time around." He gently sets the tea down, and stands back up. "I would have liked to offer you some tea...but you've proven to be no longer deserving of my hospitality."

Chara kept freezing more and more.

"Of course we should be held accountable for our sins. I would never say that what we've done was right. I would have easily accepted fair judgement. I did everything I did for the sake of my people...it's why I couldn't stop. Not after I've promised them so much hope. But...I hardly think we deserve anything like this." Asgore growled deeply. "I've learned it all...how you killed without remorse. Optimistic Papyrus, who believed in you until the very end. Royal Guard Captain Undyne, whom I've seen as my surrogate daughter and gave her all to stop you. The Royal Scientist Alphys, who's occupation caused her much pain and chose suicide knowing her efforts were for nothing. Sans, the Judge, who knew all of this was hopeless and yet he still felt the need to try. And Toriel..."

This was the worst. Asgore' fists clenched and steam escaped his jaws and his nostrils. Hell, steam began emitting off his entire body!

"You killed her. You killed Tori...you've killed my Toriel. She's also had much to be blamed for...but I've already forgiven her. I was hoping that one day, after she's cooled down, I could have seeked her out and reconciled with her. If not as lovers, then at least as friends. But you...she's been nothing but kind to you. She's tried her best to show love and affection to you, but you've made that difficult due to the dust building on your body. She wanted to steer you on the right path...you've ignored her. You threw her love back at her. You ignored her mercy...you've struck her down without a second thought. Your own mother..."

Chara couldn't find the strength to move. He remembered...this is what being paralyzed by fear feels like. He's on the other end of the sensation now...and it doesn't feel great.

"...Enough talk. You're not here to hear me ramble. You're here to do battle. I don't care if you keep coming back, I will keep coming at you with all of my fury. Because as far as I'm concerned...you're not my son. I'm wondering if you were part of the family at all." The human child's soul cracked at the words and he hasn't even been attacked yet.

Sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt you...who came up with such a convoluted lie?

"Chara...it was nice to see you again...even if the ending isn't pleasant." His Trident suddenly shot out of his robes, and his eyes glowed fiercely at the one responsible for slaughtering his people. Chara showed no mercy...so he won't give any. Chara feels the Trident shoot three streaks of flames at him and incinerated him. His soul shattered.

"Goodbye."

Reset...

Chara's eyes opened up once again, this time finding himself surrounded by darkness. It felt like he was all alone here, but he knew that it wasn't the case. It wasn't for the other times, why would it suddenly change now? So he decided to wait things out and try to see what would attack him this time. He wouldn't be fooled by the prolonged silence, something would come to meet him. And he most likely won't like how it ends.

"Howdy, Chara."

Of course. It had to end with him. With a sigh of acceptance, he turned around and began to greet Asriel...

...and Frisk?

"What-"

"Are you happy now, Chara? Is your hatred satisfied now? Is this what you've always wanted? Total destruction for all?" Frisk said. He sounded furious, but he still had some semblance of gentleness emitting from him. Asriel to a lesser extent, but it's definitely there.

"I can't believe you would do all of this all because you couldn't let go of your hatred. You just felt the need to drag everyone down under along with you. Why did you have to do this to us, Chara? How can you hate humanity so much to as to doom everyone? How could you hate them so much as to manipulate me into doing something that could have kick started a second war that neither side was going to win?" Asriel said, with tears in his eyes.

"You took advantage of our kindness, Chara. You manipulated us to your own ends. The means can't be justified here. That kind of thinking, because of you, is why six other children before me had to die. The consequences of your actions effected everyone else but you." Frisk sighed. "I tried to save you. You told me that the only way to save you as well was to do what I needed to do in a Geno Run. You lied to me. You took advantage of my kindness and twisted it to your own ends. I wanted to keep my happy ending...but you overrode it. You had enough hatred within you to ruin the happiness of everyone else."

Chara stood back a bit. No...not them too. They...

"You didn't want to accept the family you had...you felt it was more important to take one last jab at humanity...that kind of pettiness cost all of us dearly."

"I...Frisk...Asriel..."

Asriel and Frisk both turned their backs on Chara, and began walking away. "Sorry Chara...but we have to leave you behind. For everyone's sake." Asriel closed his eyes. "Our time together is over. Goodbye."

Chara gasped and held his hand out to them, but they slowly faded away, nowhere to be seen. "ASRIEL! FRISK! WAIT, DON'T...don't leave..." Chara let his arms hang as his eyes were wide with disbelief. "Don't...I'm sorry...I..." He fell to his knees and stared at the ground below him. "I'm sorry...call me names...beat me up...don't talk to me at all...hell, kill me as many times as you want, I don't care! But please...please don't leave me alone..."

Chara grabbed his hair and his head hits the ground. "...who am I kidding? This is exactly what I deserve. Everything I've done...has only been the detriment of the future for humans and monsters...my appearance made everything worse. I made everything worse...I started the worst of the conflict, and others had to suffer severely in order to try and fix it...I...I've thought of humans being evil beings...but I've proved to be the worst of them all..."

Chara felt himself beginning to disappear...but he doesn't care. He didn't feel anything...his own self-loathing was preventing him from feeling pain. He was only concerned on disappearing. He would have been suffering far less if they had simply killed him. Then they wouldn't need to deal with the threat of him possibly turning again. Even if the possibility was tiny...it was still a possibility. And it wa snore than enough for someone like Sans to not trust him. He was not worthy of trust. Not worthy of acceptance. Not worthy...of love.

"I'm not worth...anything..."

...ERASE.

(Reality)

"RRRRRAGH!"

He didn't mean to do it. He was acting out of intense emotions that the horrifying nightmare put him through. It was out of reflex, reflexes he's gained from fighting for so long...he thought someone was trying to hurt him. And in his panic paused by his nightmare ignited his magic, and he lashed out at the closest person next to him, the one who was trying to wake him up.

Asriel.

The black flames shot out of his hand and struck Asriel. He raised his right arm in an attempt to summon magic and deflect it, but he was too slow. The black flames latched onto his arm and forced him back into the wall and creating slight cracks in it. He slid to the ground, clutching his arm as his eyes closed tightly in pain. He was able to create a pulse of white flames from his arms to force the black flames off of his arm before it reached the rest of his body, but the damage was already done.

Asriel's fur on his right arm was burned off, and was now completely bare.

Chara's eyes dilated and his pupils became tiny, as the realization of what he has just done eventually reached him. In his fit of rage and panic, he blindly attacked Asriel ans badly burned him. Judging by the severity of his flames, even with magic helping to heal, that fur was most likely never going to fully grow back.

He just scarred Asriel. He scarred his baby brother.

Asriel managed to open his eye while gritting his teeth through the pain, and then noticed the deep cesspool of regret, guilt, and self-loathing all on Chara's face. His eyes widened and he got up. "Chara, you didn't mean-"

Too late. He disappeared without a single trace, warping away just like he and Sans can. Asriel stood up fully and held his paw out.

"CHARA!" He tried to trace his magic in an attempt to get a lead...nothing. He's covered his tracks. He could be anywhere in the Underground due to the number of SAVE points. Asriel sighed as he slumped to the ground, scratching his ear, not knowing what to do.

The others were not going to like this.

(?)

Chara landed on the ground, trying to keep his breathing together. This was just...he couldn't stay there. There was no way he could go back. The others would find out. Sans would find out, and the consequences will be severe. He gripped his hair and pulled at it angrily. Even in a time of piece, he just couldn't help but hurt someone, even if it was by accident.

Was this is only purpose? To hurt people? Even when he doesn't mean it, or wasn't trying to at all, he somehow found a way. And it was agonizing to feel that very little has changed about him.

"Why...?" Chara whipsered as he shook his head slowly. His guilt and shame refused to let him go, so it decided to make him suffer even more by instigating his nightmare. He knew the Dreemurr's didn't spare him just to see him suffer. He knew that they loved him dearly.

And that's why he felt so unworthy of it, because of his past actions. His mind had accepted it because he heard it. But his heart and soul still had doubts, and look how damaging they got.

"Why didn't they just let me disappear...? They would have had much less to worry about that way...?" Chara said softly as he stopped pulling at his hair. "I hurt Asriel again...I just...I can't go back there. I just can't." He hugged his knees. "If Sans is so worried that I'll cause trouble in the future...then I just won't see them again. I'll stay here, where no one can possibly find me..."

"No one?"

Chara's eyes opened at the voice, and he looked up from his fetal position. Then his eyes completely widened as he took in the details. He recognized this room. This room located somewhere in-between the Void. This was...

Oh no.

He felt black tendrils wrap around his torso and lift him up in the air, restraining his arms. He kicked wildly, but it was useless. He was trapped, and the Void magic streaming from the tedrils was making his own magic useless. He looked up fearfully as the voice's owner stepped up to him.

"You feel the need to not exist anymore in order to spare your loved ones more pain?" Chara looked helplessly at the one who restrained him. He should have known this was coming. He had taunted the man earlier, and now karma had decided to bring the incident back up and smack him in the face with it. He could only look on as the tedrils lowered him to eye level with the monster before him. The Previous Royal Scientist.

W.D. Gaster.

"In that case, would you like to trade places with me?"


Me: There. The worst of it is out of the way. Now we wait for part two.

Chara: Well, I was right. This is gonna suck...for ME.

Frisk: This...this isn't good...

Asriel: *worried tears* C-Chara...

Sans: *deathly silence*

Until...the next drabble.

Darker...

...Yet Darker...
