* Italics is Alphys, Bold is Frisk
* You'll understand when you get to it… I don't mean the Italics right after this though
Three people sat in a living room, an adult and two children.
One of the children was coloring a picture of his school while the other was watching a television show about their pink uncle.
The adult was lying on the nearby couch engrossed in a book.
As the room sat in silence a nearby door opened. "Heya, I'm home!" A masculine voice said.
The three turned to where the voice was, the front door.
Sighing yet smiling the older threw their legs over the side of the couch and set the book on a table a few feet away before following the excited children.
"You're back, how was the… important people and what not?" They waved their hand lazily.
"Boring with a hint of old people, remind me why you stopped joining me to these?" They asked, quickly kissing their spouse, and turning to the kitchen.
One of the kids followed their parents as the other ran back to the living room.
"Irene Dreemurr no running in the house!" They said loudly before following the two to the kitchen.
"Sorry mommy!" The child said.
They sat at one of the table chairs as their spouse opened the fridge.
"Anyways, moms too busy with the school to babysit, Undyne would probably make them javelin experts in a week's time and I don't like people, reminds me, why are you still there, don't you hate Humans too?" They grabbed a magazine and flipped through it.
"Yes but, unlike you, I'm not an ice witch" they dropped an ice cube into a drink.
The magazine reader softly glared at him "You're making dinner for the pun and insult" They froze and turned to them in shock.
"What, I'd probably-" they thought for a second before smirking "All right, but you're dealing with the food poisoning afterwards" They started to walk to the living room.
The previous magazine reader stood up quickly as their son held a cup of orange juice and followed them.
"You're not that bad of a cook"
They looked behind them self and smirked again "Oh Chara darling, if you think I'm a good cook, you don't know anything about me"
W- what was that dream?
Wait…
Why can't they feel anything under them… or… around them?
They felt air rush past them, they were falling.
Wait what.
And they hit something, the ground but… why didn't it feel like- HOLY SSSSSSSSSSSSCHITZEL!
Chara shot up from the snow, hastily brushing it off themselves.
Why the hell were they in the snow?! They were just at the Barrier after… Oh, right. Frisk, the one person they thought they could trust, killed Asriel, their brother.
Again.
Great… now they're sad…
Chara heard someone else shot out of the snow, they quickly turned to the person and in their slight panic, formed a knife in their hand
"What the hell just happened?!" The person sounded feminine, and judging by the fish like appearance, it was Undyne.
Chara lowered their weapon.
"Um, hi Undyne" Undyne turned around sharply but relaxed a bit they saw Chara.
Undyne froze for a second before summoning a spear and walking up to Chara threateningly, seeing Undyne move towards them they started to step away.
"What's wrong Undyne?" They hit the Christmas tree.
As she got closer Undyne pointed the spear at Chara, glaring at the child.
"Your friend killed Papyrus, give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now" Killed Papyrus? Oh right, Frisk also stabbed Papyrus, they are really gunna have a bad time right now!
"I- I didn't do it! Frisk did! I don't know why!" That lying little-
"But you were with them the most! Now, because of my stupidity of trusting a Human, he's gone and dust! NGAAAH" Undyne raised the spear up stepping back and shot forward in a stabbing motion.
"Wait!" Someone yelled, the spear stopped just poking Chara's forehead. They could have fainted right here.
Both people turned to the voice, it came from a man wearing a cloak and cowl, the cowl covering most of his face in a faint shadow.
"You shouldn't kill that child miss" Undyne glared at him.
"Why should I listen to someone who I don't know and covers his face?!" She yelled angrily.
The man sighed and ran a hand over his face exhausted.
"Fine, I don't care what you call me name wise but the reason why you should at least listen to me? You" He pointed to Chara "non-murderous child, you saw me trying to help everyone, right?" Chara thought for a moment before nodding "Great, I was the one holding Asriel's Soul together while separating everyone from him, everyone is most likely… somewhere, but safe I can promise you, the large goat lady? Most likely in the RUINS, tiny lizard, by a lab"
Undyne relaxed a little hearing where Alphys was a second later she started to run towards Hotland.
"God dammit… Fish lady! I wouldn't advise going there!" Undyne stopped and glared at him again "Reason being, I'll tell her what I'm going to tell you in a bit, but, it would be safer for everyone to be separated, you'll only get in everyone else's way"
She didn't know why but she listened to the man and walked back to the Christmas tree.
…
"So, what are you gunna tell us?" Undyne asked impatiently.
The man looked up from the snow and to them "Sorry, got distracted" He cleared his throat "So, long story short, all of your Souls were absorbed, the host killed and I was able to separate you all from him before be died, if your gunna be angry at anyone take it out on the Acceptance kid, they're the one who killed your friend… I forget what else I was gunna say…" He hummed in thought.
"What about why I shouldn't kill this Human right here for one?" Undyne suggested.
"Yes, that was one minor thing I forgot" "Minor?" "Sorry, but they are killing now for something that has to do with you" He pointed to Chara.
"So why shouldn't I just kill them now?!" Undyne tried to spear Chara but her spear disappeared before it could hit them, she turned to the man and he was holding it, the blue weapon disappeared.
"Because… killing them wouldn't do much, the other would just LOAD and bring them back, they're willing to take a shot for them so they're important to them…" He turned away "From what I've observed they don't like their friend killing so they're on our side… maybe seeing their friend not with them will make them stop?" He thought aloud.
Chara glared at the man. Seems them and Undyne can share one thing, a new dislike for this new person.
"You know I have a name, it's Chara and Chara" They pointed to themselves "doesn't want to used as bait if that's your plan" They heard him mutter something like… 'there goes plan G'…
He turned back and faced Undyne.
"You!" he shouted walking up to her "Your friends were killed by that kid, right? Skeleton and small goat?" She nodded, seemingly smiling he turned to Chara now "And your brother, small goat?" They nodded.
He turned away and walked away to the tree line, pointing up at nothing.
"It will take time, quiet a bit of time with Plan B I have bit I can bring back your friends, Skeleton, and the goats, 'what is Plan B?' you are asking?" Neither were asking that "Well Plan B is… Plan B! Plan A is trying to talk it out with them" He glanced to Chara "Thought you'd like that plan better before resorting to crushing them to a pulp of flesh and DETERMINATION"
"Anyways! Plan B? Is crushing them to pulp of flesh and DETERINATION! You two stay together, I'm off to tell the lizard and goat lady the plan…" He turned to them slowly.
"Any questions?" Undyne was about to speak up "No? Good! Please don't kill each other!" With that he ran away into Waterfall.
Undyne and Chara turned to each other confused.
Undyne stepped towards Chara and they skittered back "Please don't kill me!" They pleaded arms covering their face.
She sighed and turned away, crossing her arms "I'm not gunna kill you punk… if your 'friend'" she made air quotes "is… killing because of you or for you… you may be… able to stop them, right?" Undyne did have a fair point.
…
Wait… why did they feel like they went through this before…?
Chara gasped.
"We went through this before! We've already done this! There's been LOADS, my minds a bit foggy on them, probably cause I'm not with Frisk, but if this is the longest one we've went for Frisk must have stop LOADING!" As they finished talking a ring came from Chara.
Confused, Chara grabbed a phone from their pocket, Undyne's phone. Alphys was calling.
As soon as she saw who was calling Undyne grabbed the phone, answered it, and put it on speaker.
"Hello, Alphys? You there?" Undyne asked franticly.
"Y- Yes, I- I'm here… w- what's going o- on? W- weren't we just a- at the Barrier with th- the Humans? I- I'm in my lab r- right now"
Undyne sighed a breath of relief "Thank Asgore…" she muttered "Alphys, don't panic, a… friend… is coming to talk to you about what's going on"
"O- okay" A faint knock was heard "O- Oh, I th- think that's th- them! S- sorry! G- gotta go!" She hung up.
Undyne handed the phone back to Chara subconsciously. She sighed and leaned against a house.
"What's wrong Undyne?" Chara asked.
"I'm just… glad that Alphys is alright, if that punk killed her I would make sure to kill them no matter what and nothing, no one would stop me" Chara nodded sadly, turning away.
As silence was now between them Chara thought back to that… dream? It felt… so real yet, like a memory.
That person, was them and… the other was… Frisk?
They both seemed… older, much older, late twenties or so and Irene. They always wanted to name a daughter if they had one that, it was a beautiful name…
Wait, didn't Frisk talk about a timeline where they killed them off? And had a life, a spouse and two kids?
Oh wait… Frisk said to them, before Asriel's Soul exploded 'my love' that wasn't a dream, but… it was a memory of a timeline they've forgotten?
Chara shook their head. No, they couldn't have been with them
They blushed at the thought.
Shaking their head again they groaned smacking their head against a random door.
"Uh… punk, you alright?" Undyne tried to ask but Chara ignored her as they tried to give themselves a concussion.
"No." They said flatly, their head starting to hurt.
Sighing Undyne peeled them away from the door and stood between them and the now cracked wooden door.
"Then tell me what's wrong!" She said irritated.
Chara turned around and sat on the ground, staring at nothing.
…
A minute later Undyne sat down next to them in silence.
After another minute, Chara spoke up, their voice in disbelief.
"I literally fucked Frisk"
"WHAT?!" Undyne yelled.
Frisk walked down a hall of the Capital, their footsteps resounding throughout the gray halls.
They sneezed.
Shaking their head for some reason they wiped at their nose. Stupid dust.
Sighing they looked to their left and up, the very evident walkway to the Judgement Hall.
They were currently within the Capital itself, someplace they hadn't been in a Genocide run at least, lots of Monsters.
When they could they would step out of the alleys and kill a Monster that was coming home from shopping or something, they'd eat some food if they had it in a bag.
What? They're hungry and the pile of now dust isn't gunna need it.
But now they walked down what a sign had called X Street, that was literally the name, X Street, the street was just an X.
Asgore was going to get a stab in the leg just for his bad naming habits…
As Frisk was walking they almost tripped over something. Stumbling Frisk grabbed onto a nearby not connivingly shaped lamp pole for balance.
Once they had regained some form of balance they turned around and saw what had almost made them fall, a very sturdy looking teddy bear, er, well, a teddy Woshua to be exact since they don't have bears down here… except bear Monsters…
Holding the plush they put away the knife and continued walking, looking around for anyone to give it to, it had to be someone's.
As they called out for anyone they started up a staircase, holding the railing with one arm and the plush with the other, it was surprisingly soft and… comforting.
Once they reached the top of the staircase they turned around and faced the Capital city, hundreds of gray monotone houses but none holding people.
Sighing they turned back to the path ahead, they looked down at the plush and smiled softly before putting it in their inventory.
Got the Wohu-Plush
* A soft Woshua plush, surprisingly sturdy
They turned a corner, looking to the floor as they passed a pile of Dust, they left it alone.
Turning another corner and they found themselves near Asgore's stairs, the ones to his home.
Climbing the stairs, the scent of tea hit their nose, was- was Asgore here?
They didn't feel like fighting right now, not from fear or whatever they were just… tired, physically and emotionally.
Sneaking as best they could they made their way off the staircase, looking to their right into the living room they saw Asgore, sitting on his chair, sipping tea… looking at them… oh shi-
"Why hello there" he said setting down his cup.
Welp, no use in hiding now. Drawing their knife, they slowly stepped towards Asgore, ready to strike.
Asgore's gaze flickered between the knife and the plush, he gave a heart laugh.
"I won't harm you Human" Frisk tilted their head "Confused?" They nodded "That would be the… expected reaction" He looked to the fireplace which seemed newly lit.
"Come, grab a chair sit, I wish to have a chat with you" Every fiber of their being told them not to trust Asgore as their trust and bones had been broken many times with similar scenarios on the surface.
But, Gaster told them they could, Monsters weren't- aren't like Humans. Gaster was one of the few Frisk could trust right now, the other being themselves and Chara.
They would and could always trust them.
Frisk put away their knife but into an easy to reach spot and walked over to the table, grabbing the little chair, and dragging it over to Asgore.
After they successfully dragged the surprisingly heavy chair over Asgore laughed again and patted their head making Frisk quickly step away from him, knife already poised to strike.
"Sorry, I did not mean to startle you, sit" he pointed to the chair.
After a moment of hesitation Frisk sat down, resting their hands in their lap as they looked at the fireplace.
How long would it take to burn to death, been a while since they did that to themselves, burning to death.
A cup of tea being handed to them shock them out of their morbid head, taking the tea they carefully sipped it.
Humming in delight they took another sip, not minding the heat.
Cinnamon tea, one of their favorites, they loved cinnamon, ate an entire bag of it once, Undernet went wild after that, same with Undertube.
They turned to Asgore, he was looking at them expectantly, did he ask them something?
"I'm guessing you didn't hear, how do you like the tea?" Oh, that's what he asked.
They nodded, a big smile on their face before taking another sip.
"That's good… Human, do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Asgore looked down to them, smile gone.
Frisk sighed, this is what they were expecting… Being judged, again, only this time by a depressed murderer.
They nodded.
Asgore smiled "Human, do think that it is a nice day outside?" … What?
They looked at him confused.
They shrugged, not wanting to talk right now. They took another sip of their tea.
Asgore did the same before setting his cup on a small table next to him.
"You know, being like this, drinking tea, reminds me of the times I did this with Asriel, you are a lot like him it seems, besides the murdering, of course, both adamant and eager, you could say he was determined" Asgore reminisced time where his family was whole.
"I am getting sitracked, my apologizes" … Frisk while facing the floor, glared at Asgore, ya right.
Frisk went to get another sip from their cup but found it empty, huh, when did that happen? Asgore must have saw their cup because he was stood up "Your cup is empty, allow me to refill it for you"
Once Asgore disappeared into the kitchen Frisk looked around the room then to the big chair, seems like this is the first time he's used the chair in years.
Once Asgore returned they talked some more, or, Asgore talked, Frisk still didn't feel like speaking.
He asked them about their journey, favorite color, likes and dislikes, random things. It was starting to irritate Frisk, but not for the reasons some would think.
"Then, as I walking, I almost tripped on my cape" He laughed, causing Frisk to jump slightly, once he 'settleled down' Frisk sighed, getting more annoyed by the seconded "Luckily, Tori- Toriel, had caught me"
"Asgore…" Frisk muttered, the Monster king turned to them "Why are you being so nice to me?" They asked, voice quiet.
"I don't understand Human, I see no reason not to e-" My name is Frisk, stop calling me 'Human'" "My apologize…" Frisk huffed and looked away.
"Still, why are you being nine to me?" They asked, sounding more annoyed.
"And as I said, I see no reason to be mean to you" Asgore sipped his tea, still glancing at Frisk.
Frisk took a beep breath "Well stop" Asgore hummed questioningly "I don't want anyone's kindness, don't need or want anyone, I… I…" Asgore sighed and put went to put a hand on their shoulder but sighed once again as he saw them closing in on their knife.
"Human, Frisk, do you hate me?" Sadness evident in his voice.
Frisk tensed at the question, relaxing a second later.
After a minute of just breathing Frisk spoke again "Yes, I do hate you, I hate Toriel, Alphys, Undyne, I hate Sans and Papyrus… I hate you all so, so much" Venom and truth in each word.
"But you don't hate Chara?" Frisk turned and stared at him, red eyes wide, he chuckled "Yes, I knew it was them all along, it pained me to kill them… just as it did you, but, you don't hate them? And why not, what makes them 'special'?" Asgore seemed legitimately interested.
Frisk sighed, taking a breath, knife in their hand, ready to strike when they were done.
"Their… special, never thought of it like that, they're the only person who understands me, the only one who can fully remember timelines, before I was, me, they were me… that sounds confusing…" Asgorenodded "Our Souls are… linked" Frisk looked to the wall leading to New Home, two red strings went from their chest to Chara, it always has, and they always intertwined.
"And there's a balance, for a while, they held the higher cards, they were 'bad' while I was good but… after certain… events, I acted different, slowly making myself the bad one and to keep the balance, Chara became good"
"I realized this early on and, Chara always seemed so… miserable, so I didn't want them to go through that again because I… I loved them, I would do anything for them, even corrupting my own Soul so they can be happy, to keep them 'good', I have to stay bad, I need to be bad, I willingly act bad and murder to continuously tell myself 'I am I horrible person, I am bad, I don't deserve anything', it's worked so far!"
They spread their arms, holding the knife tight in one hand as they grinned at Asgore.
"Me being bad also has its… down sides, I'm more impulsive, less caring, less empathetic, and quiet a bit more, over all, it's made me into a… whatever, I don't care…" They looked down to the ground, still holding the knife.
Asgore sighed "You are going to kill me now, aren't you?" Frisk briefly nodded "All I ask is that, if you do, make my families death as painless as possible, can you promise me that?"
"I don't like promi-" "Can you at least not leave them in pain then, for long?" Expressionless, the nodded, raising the knife up.
- 3000
All of Asgore's HP disappeared as the Dust on Frisk's knife fell onto the ground.
"Human, it was nice to meet you, goodbye" He said before turning to dust.
His Soul floated in front of Frisk before cracking and shattering.
As Frisk left the now late kings house, they heard Asgore's dust disappear like how Asriel and Papyrus's did.
As Frisk neared closer to the elevator to the CORE Frisk noticed Gaster attention leaving the path they were on and more to their surroundings.
"Is something wrong?" Thy asked, not really caring but curious.
"Are you going to kill everyone?" He suddenly asked.
Frisk looked ahead confused for a second.
"Yes" "Can you say it fully?" Frisk sighed "Yes, I'm going to kill everyone, why are you asking?"
Gaster stayed silent, sighing Frisk continued down the path.
"Are you going to kill Alphys?" He asked again.
"If I can, yes, I am going to kill Alphys" They answered still not knowing why Gaster was asking these things.
They took a few more steps this time before Gaster spoke again.
"Are you going to kill Undyne?" Frisk stopped walking, now very annoyed.
"Yes. I am going to kill that fish bitch" They continued walking, thinking if they killed themselves Gaster would shut up.
On the bright side, Gaster stopped talking, not so bright side, they were at the elevator.
As they walked into the elevator and pushed the button for Mettaton's stage, they've memorized the button layout a few times, and sat against a wall for rest
As the elevator went down to the CORE Frisk took out their phone and in boredom started to scroll at the apps on it.
Phone, Messages, a few random games, Jetpack, Dimensional Box A, B, wait, what's this?
Prank Phone?
Frisk grinned at the sight of it, tapping the app one options popped up: Unknown Number
They pressed it and a keypad appeared, after a moment of thinking they shrugged, if it didn't work, didn't know what would.
They put in a phone number and it started ringing.
Ring. Rin-
"Hello, this is Toriel, who am I speaking to?" A soft voice asked.
Frisk dropped the phone, eyes wide.
She… picked up?
They glanced down at the phone, feeling a tear run down their face.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Is the one calling or someone else hurt and cannot speak? Hello?" She sounded concerned.
Heh, she wouldn't be if she knew who called…
Frisk started shaking, kicking the phone away it beeped, ending the call.
They then tucked their head to their knees and started crying.
…
* Hearing your sins… fills you with regret
Chara sat down on a stool in Grillby's, Undyne was 'patrolling' Snowdin to keep an eye for Frisk.
They ate a fry that was on a plate, Grillby himself wasn't at the establishment so Chara practically had free rain of the bars stock so they stole and cooked some fries for themselves… and maybe some soda too… Hey, who wouldn't?
"NGAAAAH!" They heard Undyne scream as they ate, turning to the door the stood up off the stool and grabbed their drink, leaving the fries.
It had been an hour since the man talked to them and he came back, let them and Undyne know that he talked to Alphys and Toriel, but for some reason, couldn't find Asgore, he said he checked the Judgment Hall and found dust, but too little of it to be Asgore.
So right now, no one knew where Frisk was.
Once they got outside they saw Undyne throwing spears at a tree.
"Hey Undyne, can I ask why your mutilating a tree?"
Undyne turned towards them quickly, spear aimed at them making Chara take a step back.
Seeing it was Chara, Undyne lowered her weapon.
"I'm just so frustrated! I can't go out and fight that brat, all I can do it sit here in this crummy village!" She kicked some snow angrily.
Hmm… how can you keep a very energetic and determined fish who has a strong sense of justice preoccupied…
…
Better than anything else…
"Hey Undyne, I got an idea!" She turned to them curious "How about we spar… as practise for you, cause… cause… they'll be here soon! And… and I'm too weak to fight them! Yeah!" They started regretting the idea the moment Undyne grinned…
"Of course, why didn't I think of it sooner! A weak punk like you wouldn't be able to fight them! Alright! Let's spar!" Undyne recommended her spear as her previous one was starting to fade away and took a stance.
"Hit me with everything you've got punk!"
Chara reluctantly took a fighting stance too but didn't use their red knife, they felt sick when they had it.
"U- Um… why don't you go first?" Undyne looked at them like they were insane.
"WHAT?! It's Monsters Honour to let their opponent attack first!" She said with pride, puffing out her chest.
Oh… they… didn't know that…
Quick, quick… think!
Ah ha!
"U- Um… would you let the k- killer of your best friend attack you first?" Undyne thought, glancing away for a second before turning back to them.
"You're right! Here I come!" She rushed forward, a couple of spears appearing behind her as she ran.
Just as Undyne was closing in to Chara they collapsed onto the snow holding their chest.
Undyne stopped her attack and but kept running to them, this time in concern.
"Hey, why'd you fall? Didn't think you were that wimpy and weak" Undyne patted their back with a bit too much force and Chara fell onto their side.
Undyne gasped as she picked them up and ran to Sans and Papyrus's house, not bothering with the door the kicked it open, breaking the lock.
"Sans! Papyrus! Are you here!" She quickly looked around the house before sighing and putting Chara onto the couch.
"Hey, punk, what's wrong?"
Chara pointed to their chest, to their Soul.
Undyne looked away when they did, she knew she wasn't a doctor and definitely wasn't a family member or lover but…
Desperate times call for desperate measures!
Taking a deep breath, she turned back to Chara "Alright punk, I'm gunna need you to trust me, ok?" Chara nodded.
Undyne took another breath and wiped some sweat from her forehead. She put hand on Chara's chest after a futile struggle on Chara's part to keep them there and started to draw out their Soul.
With surprisingly little resistance Chara's Soul came of of their body, it's bright red glow illuminating the dark Skelebro's house.
Chara's Soul shook, both people could feel the strong emotions it was emanating, sadness, fear, and regret.
But the worst part was, along the face of the Soul, was a small crack, nothing that looked bigger than what a paper cut would be but it was there that was the problem.
Using what she knew about Souls and what Alphys had told her, the crack had come from the sheer emotion it was currently feeling but… 'why were they feeling that?' was the question in Undyne's mind.
Over the next few minutes the strength of the emotions died down enough for Undyne to return Chara's their Soul without hurting them.
One new thing that worried Undyne now thought was the fact that Chara wouldn't wake up…
…
Oh, they're sleeping, right…
The elevator door had been open for the past few minutes but Frisk didn't move, even if they'd stopped crying a while ago, they wanted to delay everything as much as possible.
For the first time since the doors opened Frisk turned to them, seeing the hallway into the COR, they looked away and quickly wiped away a new tear that threatened to fall.
Placing their hands on the metal ground they slowly pushed themselves up so they could stand. They grabbed onto the railing as to not fall and turned their body to the door, taking a deep breath they walked out of the elevator.
As they walked down the hall they ran their hand over the wall.
"Gaster…" they heard nothing in response but suspected they had his attention "Do you think I'm weak?"
They heard him hum in thought for a moment.
"I don't understand the question, you are quiet remarkable in combat-" "That's not what I mean Gaster, I mean… emotionally, I was crying for the past five minutes in an elevator for gods sake!" "Everyone needs to let out their emotions at some point, it's not healthy, Human or Monster, to keep them bottled up"
Sighing they entered Mettaton's arena/stage, in the middle stood Mettaton, EX form in all.
They glared at him and growled slightly.
"My, my! Seems someone is testy today!"
They really waned him or leave, right now they were ignoring their emotions to feel bad about wanted to stab him to death, they were just annoyed, and wanted him gone.
They stepped forward.
"Oh? You want to fight me again? Don't you remember what happened last time darling? But if your-" they took another step to him "Alright… IT'S SHOWTIME!"
A flash of light later and they faced Mettaton NEO.
"I've been watching you killing all the people of New Home, I also heard you talking to yourself about killing Alphys, Undyne and them… but darling, I can't let you do that, I'm sorry, give up now or, as Undyne would say… I'm going to beat the ever-loving shit out of you!"
They looked at him questioningly.

As Frisk ran at Mettaton Gaster recited what Chara would normally, the stats.
Mettaton NEO
90 ATK 9 DEF
* Doctor Alphys' greatest invention
They ignored him still, having heard it hundreds of times over before they slashed Bone at Mettaton who proceeded to simply kick upwards, knocking them back, they still had the weapon.
"Ha, if you think it's going to be so easy to-" he gasped.
-36937
Frisk had teleported behind him and stabbed him in the bad angrily.
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU!" They yelled slashing upwards with their knife still in Mettaton's body tearing his backside apart.
As the knife went out of his body, just skimming his neck they did a 180 turn and faced the door way.
They heard Mettaton fall to the ground and turn around.
"G- Guess she didn't account for teleportation… you may have defeated me but… I know…" Frisk turned around, they saw Mettaton facing them, back sparking.
"I can tell from that strike darling… You were holding back, yes, everyone else will fall easily to you but… you won't harm humanity, will you? You aren't…" he coughed up some oil "a- absolutely evil… If you were trying to be, you messed up, and so late into the show too, ha… ha… At least now, I can rest easy knowing that… Alphys and the Humans will live on…!" He exploded as they walked away.
* My LOVE has increased
Frisk made the turn left to the elevator, they saw the spot they fell asleep with Chara yesterday, wow. To think, everything was peaceful one day ago…
They would have been lying if they said they were asleep when Chara woke up. They actually woke up a few minutes before them and just stayed lying there, remembering events from that timeline, the timeline they and Chara…
They stepped into the nearby elevator cheeks red.
As the elevator went down a random thought popped into their head, they were literally and consciously spooning with Chara, is that considered weird?
Well, they both were 12 physically, but both well over 2000 years old mentally. Guess that's not that bad.
Toriel was happy when Frisk started dating in that timeline when they got to the surface, she only said 'no sex until marriage' and left them a blushing mess after.
The elevator dinged and the doors slid open.
Oh, the ride usually is like… 3 minutes long, huh, anyways.
As they walked across the bored to MTT Resort they turned into the shop.
With all the G they 'ahem' took from the Capitals' residents, they had around… 3000 G on them.
When they entered, they saw Burgerpants standing at the counter, he glanced at them out of the corner of his eye before sighing and throwing away his cigarette.
He cleared his throat "Welcome to MTT Brand Burger Emporium, how may I help you!" The faked joy evident.
"I'll take 5 Legendary Hero's please" Fake friendliness evident as well.
Burger ignored the tone and stepped a few feet away, coming back a literal second later with 5 Legendary Hero's staked on top of each other.
Frisk handed him the price, 1500 G, and walked away with the food in their inventory after buying 2 starfaits for snacks later.
As they came up to the Save point at the front of the Resort they touched it, hearing the familiar beep as they saved.
Frisk LV 17
MTT Resort – Hotland
* File Saved
Huh, 17 LOVE?
They were barley out of the CORE and they're at 17 LV?
Frisk decided to check their stats.
Frisk
LV 17
84/84 HP
42 (57) (90) ATK EXP: 17327
14 (Unknown) DEF Next: 7673
Weapon: (Bone) (Other Knife)
Armour: His Presence
Gold: 2027 Kills: 91
Hmm… interesting stats to say the least… maybe Gaster can shine some light on a few things?
"Alright, you already know how LV and EXP work I'm sure" they nodded "Good, I guess you are wondering about your 'armour', His Presence is me, I, am acting as your armour, when you entered my gray room I linked my Soul to you, nothing can separate us besides you and me, I can deflect a various amount of damage so you would not take it, it depends on the attack really" Frisk nodded and waited if he had anything else to say.
From his silence, they continued walking out of the Resort, turning left to the two Royal Guards, 01 and 02.
But before they could take out their weapons Gaster spoke up again.
"Oh, if you're are wondering, I am still working on that new weapon I promised you, I can assure you, it will be a lot better than the measly Bone I gave you in the Judgment Hall"
Nodding again they slipped out the Other Knife and Bone and ran at 01 and 02.
Frisk cut the web blocking the exit of the Spider Cave, a few minutes after dusting Muffet, her pet was stronger then they though, they'd need to get to the SAVE Star to heal this damage.
As they got to the star and healed their HP, SAVEing in the process, they pretty much ignored how much LV they had, they'd have 19 soon enough, then it would just be the extremely long track to LV 20, taking 49999 EXP.
But, even though they kept track, they weren't doing it for EXP, this was the last string, the straw that would break the camels back, or well, Chara's mind.
As they walked they wiped some sweat from their forehead, they turned to the hotdog stand, sans Sans.
Thinking for a moment they walked to the side of the stand, looking over the stand they saw hotdogs, water sausages, 'dogs, ketchup and, oh thank everything! Water bottles!
They rushed behind the stand and grabbed a water bottle, hastily undoing the cap and chugged the drink.
They stopped drinking to catch their breath, looking at the bottle they saw they drank over half of it in under a few seconds.
Screwing back on the cap they put two more bottles in their Inventory and held the half empty one as they made their way to the elevator, they were glad skeletons needed water at least.
When they got to the elevator they pressed the call button and took another sip from the bottle.
"Don't drink too much too fast chi- Human, don't Humans need to… expel water at some point?" Gaster asked slowly.
"If I need to 'expel water' you can go some place else if your uncomfortable, but I think I read somewhere that even Monster water is pumped with magic for Monsters who don't have organs so I don't need to worry about that, gives it some taste too, normal waters very plain in taste" They stepped out of the elevator on L1, in front of the LAB, Alphys's lab.
They tried to put the bottle away but found their inventory was full.
"I can store that for you, I have my own inventory"He offered, Frisk accepted and the bottle disappeared in a small blackish purple flash.
Gaster seemed to perk up "Human, I have finished that weapon for you! It took a while as you know but, it is done" He seemed proud of himself.
* I got the Septon, it seems to be a glowing red knife
Frisk looked at it with interest, why was this so good that Gaster was excited over it?
Frisk held the 'Septon' in their hand like an ordinary knife and slashed it at nothing. Nothing preculier happened, just seemed like a normal knife.
They were about to put it away when it disappeared, they turned around and looked at the ground and on their person for it.
Eventually, they found it, on their hand… sort of. It seems to have turned into a pair of orange gloves, the tough gloves to be exact.
"What…" They questioned "Yes, it turned to gloves, think of the empty gun or any other of the children's weapons, go on, try" He still sounded excited.
They brought their thoughts to the Torn Notebook, and in a split second, a purple book appeared in their hand.
They thought of the Empty Gun and, they now held a yellow revolver.
Huh, seemed to be a decent weapon, now just needed to test it on someone.
Oh, should probably check it, Gaster?
* Septon, can turn into any of the Fallen Children's weapons, damage varies on weapon, weapon ATK 100
Frisk smiled and it turned into a pair of fingerless gloves again, this seemed to be the easiest way to carry it
They looked to their right, the entrance to Waterfall.
May as well try, right?
As they walked to it they didn't see a magical barrier so they kept going.
"Human, wai-!"
ZRRT!
Frisk was thrown back slightly as a few hit points were taken away.
"Ow… that hurt, quite a bit actually" Frisk stood up and dusted themselves off "Looks like someone doesn't want me going to Waterfall just yet…" They smirked as they turned to the LAB.
"Wonder how much EXP Alphys is worth…" They muttered as they started walking to the doors.
As they walked into the lab they looked around as the door closed behind them, they saw the screen still watching them, but, the screen was now part of the wall now instead of being a single standing object.
The more they looked around the room they realised two things, they have bad vision, and everything was gone, it was just an empty room. No computer, no deck, no fridge and the dog food was probably in the True Lab somewhere.
As they headed for the escalator they felt their body move away from it on its own.
"I can feel an invisible barrier on the escalators, so I moved you away from it, I hope you do not mind" Frisk wanted to be angry at Gaster for seemingly taking control of their body even for a short time but he has been helping them and it was to keep them from taking unnecessary damage, so they'd let it pass, this time.
"Just don't do it again and there'll be no problem" they said walking to the other end of the lab, the other place they could go.
Frisk now stood at the other door, it wouldn't open… they guess the other one was as well, when they turned around they heard a blip and the world went dark, their dark red Soul exiting leaving their chest.
As their Soul floated in front of them the walls flashed the same dark red color as their soul before returning to their regular color.
Their Soul returned to their body as though nothing happened.
"You were scanned…" Gaster warned them before they could ask what happened.
They heard the escalator working and a squeak as Alphys almost fell off it, she was wearing her nor mal white lab coat but, it seemed dustier and stickier…
"A- Ah, there you are" She said turning to them.
"Yes, y- you're the Human that came through h- here before, well y- your friend carried you here, where are they?" Frisk glared at her a tiny bit a frying pan appeared in their hand this time.
They saw Alphys take a step back.
She looked down at the ground for a second before looking up at them, sadness in her eyes "In my c- camera's I saw you talking t- to someone, S- Sir… is that you, are you in them? D- Doctor Gaster?" She had a sense of hope in her voice.
Gaster sighed in Frisks mind "I am Gaster, but I am not your Gaster, I am not this Universes Gaster" Frisk got the thought that should tell Alphys that.
"Yes, he's here, but he's not, are you going to fight me Alphys?" They suddenly asked.
Alphys took another nervous step back, but other than that, she nodded, using all her confidence to walk forward.
"The scanner has already adjusted for your Soul…" She said confidently, her stutter gone.
"Now, i- in here, your DETERMINATION… won't work" Frisk stared at her confused, why wouldn't it work? What would that do?
"Y- you're confused I see… w- well" She cleared her throat.
"A- All I have to do it k- kill you once" The floor around her glowed yellow with electricity.
["UNDERTALE - Alphys Takes Action II" by coffE K]
watch?v=274ugtlYUkE
Frisk barley had time to jump away as electricity shot towards them. As they landed on the ground more floor panels were glowing yellow, looking around they saw nothing they could use to stand on.
Welp, they'll be sticking with the gun then.
They raised their hand, gun appearing and pulled the trigger, a dark red bullet shot at Alphys.
- 0
They looked at the number in a sort of shock.
Sometimes when no one's left,
you can't sit in silence.
Some mistakes don't vanish,
you have to take action.
"W- What? It is supposed to do damage!" Gaster said angrily.
"… You keep fighting, I'll check her" Frisk agreed and shot her again, dealing 0 damage again.
One of the not yellow floor panels near Alphys lifted and a yellow colored gun type thing came up out of the ground.
They stared at it in confusion for a second before it stared to shot at them.
Frisk tried to run the other way but a second gun started to shoot at them as the bullets neared they raised their arms over their face in some form of protection.
Sometimes when no one's left,
(Hi there, here I am.)
you can't sit in silence.
(The literal trash.)
Some mistakes don't vanish,
(The cause of this mess,)
you have to take action.
(but I never wanted any of it.)
But… the bullets never hit them, opening their eyes they saw a small green shield in front of them, two, where the guns were shooting at, constantly blocking the bullets.
"Try not to get hit… I am trying to concentrate and making a shield to help you is not helping me…" Gaster said irritably. Frisk nodded, deciding to not make Gaster more annoyed and hit some of the bullets, them going back at the guns damaging it slightly
Frisk took out the Justice Gun and shot at the same turret while dodging bullets to the best of their ability, surprisingly, the shots they fired, did nothing to it.
Sighing they got back their Determination Knife and proceeded to block to bullets, less then half they hit going back at the turrets.
When the turrets stopped, possibly to reload or something, Frisk looked at Alphys, she was smiling like she had a chance.
We all have a reason to be stronger,
got things we are fighting for.
And I, though I never was a fighter,
will try to become even stronger, too.
Heh, not on my watch.
Frisk took a step back and took out the gun again, they held own the trigger.
It seemed Gaster took a break trying to check Alphys as the turrets weren't hurting them. Or even hitting them.
Once they released the trigger a very dark almost black red bullet shot out and hit the turret, knocking it over onto a glowing tile, electricity climbed over it and destroyed it, leaving only one left.
"Here we go…" A text box appeared in front of Frisk.
Alphys The Remorseful
ERROR
DATA NOT FOUND
The tiles by against the walls glowed yellow now.
"Oh come on…" Gaster said tired, Frisk knew he wasn't 'tired' but just 'tired' of trying to Check her "Let's try again…" He supposedly went back to trying to Check Alphys, 'The Remorseful' apparently.
Frisk took a few steps back as the turret started to walk forward, briefly they glanced to Alphys, she was twiddling her claws but was still smiling.
I thought I would never make a difference.
And true, I still haven't yet.
But if there is no one left to do it,
I swear I will still do all that I can.
They glared at her, she stopped smiling and took a step back.
Frisk saw that one of the tiles near the second and final turret weren't yellow, briefly thinking (As usual) they started to Run as the turret.
Once they got to the edge of the last white tile a bullet shot their left hip.
With a quick gasp, they fell onto the ground holding their now bleeding hip. Unfortunately, they landed onto one of yellow tiles, a large jolt of pain went through their side.
As they tried to keep themselves from screaming Gaster came back, he tried to stop the damage but couldn't.
Frisk could feel their HP slowly depleting in large chunks as their vision went black.
…
They… weren't unconscious… or dead. But the pain was gone…
As they opened their eyes they were met with a face full of Alphys, with a totally not super girly scream they, painfully, scrambled away, shocked.
Alphys stepped back too, surprised they were alive?
I said, "Help us."
I said, "Someone, save us."
Now there's no one,
'cause of what I've done.
"O- Oh no! I- I didn't w- want it t- to be painful! I thought th -the turrets would… would…" She looked at the ground.
"Kill me…?" They finished, voice sort of weak.
She nodded.
Determined, their red knife appeared in their hand as they slowly tried to stand up. As they tried they fell back down, more pain coming to them as they hit the ground.
Still, they didn't give up, even more determined than before they pushed themselves up, Alphys watched them with curiosity and horror.
Curiosity by Frisk being so Determined and horror by them being so Determined, to kill her.
Frisk moved their knife into their left hand as they held their arm with their right hand, they turned to Alphys, grinning.
"Here's a tip…" They raised their arm that held the knife "Finish the job next time!" They threw the knife, Alphys still too shocked to react.
This is not a cartoon.
This is me facing you,
and if I die,
at least I'll have tried.
"Ah ha!" Gaster said victoriously.
Alphys The Remorseful
7 ATK 999 DEF
* Her Defence is linked to her emotions, she's determined, lets change that
The knife hit.
- 0
The weapon reappeared in Frisks hand before it hit the ground.
Frisk scowled at the knife in their hand before sighing.
"Gotta do things the hard way, eh Alphys?" They looked up at her, small smile on their face "You want a fight, I'll make it to the death" They took a shaky step back.
"Try not to move so suddenly! I am still healing you, the injures you have, it will take a while, in the mean time, try to lower her Defence, insult her or something…" he suggested before tending to Frisks wounds, their HP slowly increasing.
Alphys, now recovered from the attack, was frowning. She extended her hand, yellow lightning shooting out of her palm at Frisk.
They stepped back, slashing at the attack. A majority of it was deflected onto the wall while they only took a speck of damage, say, 3.
Frisk looked around the lab, the screen was still set on them. A few posters hung up on the back wall… The smell of dog food in the air…
Wait, dog food? Oh yeah, Endogany… the Amalgamates…
They looked back at Alphys, her lab coat was still sticky and covered in dust.
Gaster caught on to what Frisk was thinking and checked Alphys again.
Alphys the Remorseful LV 5
I feel something rise to my eyes
from inside; Terrifies me.
This, although it is like revenge,
I know that it's right.
Yup, exactly what they thought! This should work very well.
Smirking, Frisk put their weight on one leg and crossed their arm to Alphys "So doc, how's your sticky 'patients' doing?" Alphys looked confused for a second before starting to sweat.
"W- wha-" "Endogony, Reaper Bird and even poor old Mrs. Snowdrake" They 'tsk'ed her as they shook their head disapprovingly.
"And the dust on your lab coat, not the neatest Monster, are you" Alphys looked down at her lab coat, the clothing having a fair amount of white powder on it, Monster dust. She gasped and tried to wipe the dust off her clothing.
Frisk simply smiled at her. They wouldn't consider themselves a sadist but, times like these? They can't help but smile.
I remember my old friends' lives,
how they'd fight, and it's not me.
But I've chosen what I must do
and I won't run away.
"I- I… I didn't w- want to k- kill them, I- I knew s- strength a- alone wouldn't win so… fight fire with f- fire? Or, LOVE with LOVE…" She looked down at the ground.
"I- I just thought that i- if I beat you, everyone would… f- forgive me f- for my experiments" she finished quietly.
Alphys the Remorseful
DEF 952
"That e- eceryone would forget my s- sins…"
Alphys the Remorseful
DEF 926
"S- So that's why I have to beat you! W- why I have to k- kill you" She stood up tall, or, as tall as she could and smiled.
DEF 950
… Still not enough to do significant damage…
Frisk tilted their head to the side a bit, dark red eyes wide and grinning, they started speaking without thinking.
"You think they'll forgive you?" Their voice more disbelief than questioning "After you murdered 6 Amalgamates? That like what, 100 Monsters, more maybe? What do you think Undyne will do when she see's your LV?" With their mind back to thinking before speaking, they decided to lie now "As far as I know, only Monsters give LV, Humans don't, she'll know you murdered someone, a lot of someone's, then what? Answer me that 'Miss New Hero'" Frisk laughed as they ducked another bolt from Alphys who seemed to be getting more upset.
Alphys began to sweat even more, she felt her DEF lower but couldn't concentrate on that as she thought about what everyone would think about her way of winning, through murder.
DEF 500
I wanted a second chance
from all that had been done,
and although you gave me that,
it wasn't near enough.
They'd hate her, no one would even pay a mind to what she was doing right now, risking her life for them, they would just hate her.
Like they probably already do…
Def 400
Frisks smile got wider as Alphys slumped forward, no longer feeling confident, determined or brave.
They started to walk towards her, ignoring the pain in their left hip. Gun in hand.
DEF 258
No one would… Undyne would… No, she wouldn't hate them.
DEF 260
Frisk glared at the numbers in front of them, her defence was rising…
No one would resent her, they wouldn't hate her, they would thank her, they would…
DEF 261
They would…
- 3000
Now all that I want to do
is force this world to end.
Am I to be stopped by you?
* My LOVE has increased
Frisk raised the Justice Gun and blew the non-existent smoke away before it turned back into the Tough Gloves for easy carry.
They walked up to Alphys and patted her shoulder.
"You tried, that's what mattered, but sadly, you failed, miserably" They pushed Alphys to the ground, her body turning to dust before she hit the tiles.
...Yes?
The remaining yellow tiles faded back to their normal white color.
Besides the pile of Alphys's dust next to Frisk, the lab looked like nothing happened, well, also the pools of blood on the ground, wait what?
They looked down to where their was pain, their left hip, it was bleeding, heavily.
"Oh dear me…" They muttered walking up to the escalator.
Maybe after they fixed themselves up, they'd use Alphys's old cube bed.
After they got their hip repatched, they unfolded the cube bed and sat on it before lying down, quickly falling into sleep.
A Human sat on a couch, they seemed to be in their mid early twenties or so, they were wearing a pair of black job type pants and a purple hoodie for the winter weather. Seemed to be reading from a book or something.
A child ran up to them, short, seemed around 12 years old, wearing a gray long sleeve shirt and blue shorts. He had a book in his hands also.
"Daddy" The older Human looked to the child.
"Hello Adam, what's up?" They asked with a smile.
The child looked around before he sat onto the couch "Can you tell me your Undertale again? Please, I promise I won't fall asleep" The older one chuckled and ruffled his hair before agreeing.
"Sure, so, Long ago, two races ruled over the earth, Humans and Monsters, one day, war broke out between the two races…"
…
"As Mettaton tried to grab me with his arms, I jumped and-" They turned to their side and found the child had fallen asleep leaning against their side.
"Made it to Hotland, new record" they smiled again as they rubbed the child's back softly. Yawing they checked the time, 12:34 am.
They set their phone down and turned back to the child.
"My wonderful son, never grow up, you're too precious…"
