Cter floated in front of the Game Over screen, frowning as he looked down.
"So what did we learn?" Chara asked, crossing their arms and arching a brow at him.
"That everything's bad and nothing is good." Cter said, frowning as he floated on his back, hands in his pockets as he stared up at the empty black abyss above.
"Uh... Not quite, but okay." Chara glanced to the side.
Cter sighed, reaching up and pinching the bridge of his nose, as if he was tired or frustrated.
"Welp, that one really hurt." Cter sat up, shaking his head.
"You uh... You okay? You're taking this whole... Being murdered by your best friend thing surprisingly well." Chara said as Cter walked by them, walking past the Game Over screen and through the doorway leading to the Continue/RESET screen.
"Heh... I'm fine." Cter grinned lightly, red fire spiraling from his left eye as his hair covered both eyes, his back to Chara.
"Well, that's not true. To be honest, I'm kind of pissed." Cter's hands clenched into fists as he reached for the Continue button, teeth gritting.
"I will certainly handle things differently this time around."
Chara looked somewhat confused by Cter's words, almost surprised by his attitude.
They'd almost expected a revolt after that but instead... He's so quick to go back..?
"Are you coming or what?" Cter looked over his shoulder at Chara, who nodded, walking up to the Continue button and pressing it with him.
Chapter 25: 'Regret'
Part 2
"... You really don't know me that well, do you?"
"You can come out now." Character said after the flash, back to Monster Kid, who stepped out from the rubble.
"C-Cter, I uh..."
"Save it." They closed their eyes, hands in their pockets.
"You already got me with that trick." They opened their eyes, looking at him out of the corner of their eye without turning their head.
Monster Kid's eyes widened.
"Really didn't expect that of you, Kid." Character turned to face Monster Kid, eyes closing once again as they took a deep breath.
"Guess you're more of a precious SINnamon Roll than I thought." They winked their right eye shut, red fire burning in their left as they shrugged, pulling off their best Sans impression.
"... But." Character's smirk faded to a frown, their arms going back into their pockets and their eyes narrowing.
"You really hurt me, you know?" Character said.
"Well now you know how it feels." Monster Kid said, eyes narrowing.
"..." The shadow of Character's hair covered their eyes.
"Monster Kid, I can't expect you to understand my motives. And I can't expect you to believe what I'm doing is okay, because I certainly don't." Character said, eyes still invisible in their hair's shadow.
"But... I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it anymore!" Monster Kid snapped, tears building in his eyes.
"We trusted you! We all believed that you were going to save us! And what do you do?! Literally stab us in the back!" Monster Kid stepped forward, tears streaming down his face.
"What could possibly make you do this?!"
"Humans have this... Need to have their cake and eat it too." Character glanced to the side.
"So what?! You just did all this to see what would would happen? You're really telling me you just did all of this for laughs?!"
Character slowly shrugged.
Monster Kid roared in anger, running at Character as tears streamed down his face.
He jumped into the air, spinning and slamming his tail directly down on the top of their skull, making them frown as their head was forced down slightly.
A small point of ink shot up, piercing Monster's brain stem and killing him instantly. Without him even knowing.
Character caught Monster Kid's body as it fell, slowly falling to dust.
Cter fell to his knees, holding Monster Kid's body tight, closing his eyes after closing Monster Kid's.
"I'm sorry..." He whispered again and again as Monster Kid slowly became nothing but a pile of dust in his hands. He grit his teeth, streams of tears running down his face.
there were a few moments of silence, Cter sitting there with arms full of dust.
"..." His frown slowly curved into a grin.
"Well, that's another one down!" Cter jumped up, throwing the dust into the air and letting it blow away in the wind.
Erm... Yes, I suppose it is..?
"On to the Ruins!" Cter said, walking with that grin towards the door.
"You know, I've been thinking." Cter said, a Beat Blaster appearing in front of the Ruins Door and blowing it open with one blast, sending the doors flying through the hall.
"What are we gonna do after this?" Cter asked.
Well, I assumed you would RESET and do it again.
"What? Nah, then it'll just be the same sh!t, different time. Or, same time, technically."
Then what do you intend on doing?
"We could always Error it up."
'Error it up'?
"We hop from Timeline to Timeline, Universe to Universe, and play this game everywhere!"
... Not a bad idea. Not one I expected from you, though.
"Eh, Monster Kid killed my last drop'a pacifist." Cter shrugged, grinning as he walked up the steps into Toriel's old home.
... I see.
"Hey there Asgore." Character grinned at Asgore, who stood at the top of the stairs, glaring down at them.
"Oh, so you came back here, did'ja? Yeah, figured I'd find you here." Character shrugged. "Hey, is Asriel here too? I'd like to finish off the boss monsters for good."
Character ducked, Asgore's trident stabbing into the wall above them.
"Keep your hands off of my child!" Asgore said, Character jumping up as fire engulfed the ground where they once were.
They slashed at Asgore, who blocked with his trident, throwing them back.
They landed feet first on the wall, kicking off of it and flipping, landing behind Asgore and slashing across his back.
Asgore snarled, fire shooting from the ground at Character, who back flipped away, landing feet first against the door and breaking through it, sliding down the stars on the unhinged door.
Asgore shot after them, swinging a glowing blue trident at them.
Unable to stop their movement as they slid, they were smacked across the face, being sent exploding into the rock wall.
Their eyes opened slowly before widening.
They jumped, Asgore's trident sticking into the wall where they once were.
They landed on the Trident's handle, kicking Asgore in the face and making him stumble back before jumping down, pulling back one fist as ink coated it, hardening before they slammed their fist into Asgore's abdomen.
Asgore coughed blood into the air, eyes widening in pain.
They pulled back another ink coated fit, slamming this one into Asgore's face.
They punched Asgore again and again, grinning as he stumbled back further and further, body being thrown back and forth with each punch.
They jumped up, placing one hand on his shoulder and throwing their fist right into his face, making him fall back against the wall, slumping as blood ran down his face.
Character rose one arm into the air, a Beat Blaster appearing behind them.
Asgore shot up quickly, slamming one fist into their abdomen and making them cough blood before they were sent exploding through the air at lightning speed and exploding into the stone wall.
Asgore tore his trident from the wall as they lay motionless.
Asgore stabbed down at Character with the trident.
They moved at the last second, the trident tearing into their leg.
They didn't seem to care, putting one hand on Asgore's shoulder as they shot up, tearing their leg free from the trident and spraying blood everywhere.
They pulled back their other arm, ink spiraling around it into a drill, right up to the point of the knife they held.
With a roar, they plunged it into Asgore's chest, Asgore's eyes widening in pain.
The two fell to the ground, Character eating an item to keep from bleeding out from the leg wound.
Asgore's eyes closed as he slowly turned to dust, and Character grabbed him by the shoulder, dragging him back into the house and kicking open the same door that Cter once quietly opened.
Flowey flinched, staring up at Character in horror as they dropped Asgore's body.
"Ah, there you are, Flowey." They grinned.
"Finally got the last member of the Goat Family!" They grabbed Flowey by he throat, keeping him from escaping into the ground.
"P-put me down, you freak!" He spat, being yanked from the ground.
"Heheheh... Lets see here." Character grabbed him by one petal, tearing it off.
"Spare..." Tear.
"Don't spare..." Tear.
"Spare..." Tear.
"Don't spare..." Tear.
"Spare..." Tear.
"..." He grabbed hold of the last petal, Flowey's eyes wide in horror.
"W-w-what the hell happened to you?" Flowey asked. "I thought all you wanted was to give them a happy ending!"
"Yeah... Back then, that's all Cter wanted. Or, that's all he said, anyway." They grinned, grip tightening on the last petal.
"But in reality, all we ever wanted was entertainment." Both eyes burning red, they slowly pulled off the last petal, making Flowey cry out in pain.
"Heheheh..." They dropped the last petal.
"Don't spare."
Flowey glanced past them to Asgore's soul, which still floated there. Just barely.
Flowey glared at Character, vine shooting out and grabbing the soul.
Character's eyes widened in surprise, dropping Flowey due to the flash.
Vines grabbed them by the throat, yanking them back, sending them crashing through the wall and out into the open.
They flipped, debris from the wall flying through the air around them as they glared into the slowly clearing dust.
"I'm going to ask you two nicely one time." Asriel stepped from the home, hands clenching into fists.
"Please... Please just RESET." Asriel asked.
"Not gonna happen." Cter answered, grinning.
"... Fine." His eyes narrowed, vines shooting out at Character, who slashed them away.
Asriel extended one hand forward, fire bursting from his palm at Character, who jumped to the side, watching the dead tree in front of the house go up in flames, illuminating the somewhat darkened area.
Asriel jumped back, pens shooting out from under him.
He held out both arms, pedal appearing behind him and firing down at Character, who brought up a wall of keys, blocking the petals with ease.
Asriel landed, Character shooting off at him and slashing, Asriel ducking out of the way and pulling back one palm, a fireball appearing in it before he slammed it into Character's abdomen, the fireball exploding, a circle of fire appearing between the two before Character was sent exploding back across the area and deeper into the Ruins.
Asriel stood in front of the flaming tree, glaring down at them as they stood, grinning as they hunched slightly, firing off at him and swinging rapidly.
Asriel ducked quickly around stabs, a vine shooting up and wrapping around Character's hand, stopping their knife just before it hit his face.
Character instead used their other hand to uppercut Asriel, who stumbled back.
Character tore the vine from their arm with their teeth, spitting it out to the side before jumping at Asriel, who jumped back, vines shooting out from under him at Character.
Character jumped into the air, holding their palm down towards the ground and bringing up a wall of keys, blocking the vines.
They landed on the key wall, running up it and jumping down from the top, pulling their knife back.
Asriel lifted one hand, opening his palm as a whirlwind of pedals fired from it, engulfing Character.
Character hit the ground, bouncing once. They were now coated in cuts.
"You know what's weird?" Character stood slowly, wiping blood from a cut on their cheek.
"That I retained my flower powers?" Asriel arched a brow at them.
"Well, sorta, but no." Character shook their head.
"Usually strong people are bigger, right? Well all the strongest people here are short." Character said. "Or, at least not tall."
"Think about it. You, me, Frisk, and Sans. All under five eight." Character said, shrugging.
"Isn't that weird?" they arched a brow.
"It's weird that you're bringing this up, that much is for sure." Asriel said, two large flowers popping out of the ground behind him and firing beams of fire.
Beat Blaster appeared, firing in return and challenging the fire, the darkened area being lit further.
Character extended one arm, firing an ink hand off at Asriel.
A large flower petal appeared in front of Asriel, blocking the hand as if it was made of iron.
The petal was suddenly slashed in two, Character flying through, knife still down to the side after they'd slashed through the petal.
A vine grabbed by the knife holding arm, forcing them to spin in air, now holding the restrained arm out to the side and using it to stiff arm Asriel, knocking him down.
he landed on his hands and knees after repositioning himself so, jumping up and extending his hand, petals firing at Character, who was busy cutting the vine restraining them.
Character snapped, a Beat Blaster appearing and firing, engulfing the petals and racing towards Asriel.
Another giant petal appeared between him and the blast, blocking it for a moment, giving Asriel the chance to roll out of the way, the beam flying right through and destroying the wall.
Character jumped back as Asriel rose one hand up, vines shooting out of the ground and slashing at them, forcing them to block with their arms in an X formation.
Cuts were slashed into their arms, blood spraying through the air as they landed, skidding back on their feet before extending one arm, ink whips appearing behind them and shooting out at Asriel, who's vines deflected them.
"Heh..." Asriel panted, beginning to sweat. "Really starting to miss having all those human souls..." he said half jokingly.
He moved his head to the side, a cut appearing in his cheek as Character slashed by, placing one hand on the ground and sliding back around, skidding back and holding their knife out to the side.
They shot off at Asriel, who ducked under a slash, popping up behind them and jumping, opening both palms down towards them and sending a wave of fire shooting down at them.
Character rose one arm, an ink wall rising and blocking the fire.
Asriel landed, teeth gritting in frustration as Character shot through the ink wall, pulling back that knife.
He moved to the side of the stab, but his eyes still widened in pain, blood flying through the air.
He looked down, seeing an ink spear stuck through his chest, having entered through his back.
"Gotcha." Character grinned, pulling the spear free as Asriel fell to his knees, holding the bleeding hole in his chest.
Character began walking back towards the exit of the Ruins, dropping the ink spear as it faded to nothing and putting away their knife. They tore Asgore's trident from the wall, as if taking it for a trophy.
"W-wait..."
They stopped.
"I... I don't get it..." Asriel said, his back to them and their back to him.
"I just... I don't understand why you would do this... What did we do to you? I could understand if you were RESETing the same thing over and over but... Cter, this has all been new to you... Why would you do this so quickly?"
"..." Character remained silent, hands clenching into fists.
"Heh... I-I guess I thought you were a better person than you are..." Asriel said as dust flaked off of him.
Character continued walking away after standing there for a moment in silence.
Foot steps echoed across the stone floor as Character made their way back out of the Ruins, images of Cter first running into a possessed Frisk and the more recent avoiding of the fight with Toriel flashing before their eyes as they frowned.
"Hey!" They stopped, seeing Undyne standing at the front of the passage.
"Oh, Undyne. What a pleasant surprise." They grinned, red fire burning from both eyes.
"You... What did you do to Asgore..?!" Undyne asked, teeth gritting.
Her eyes widened as they tossed the blood soaked trident to the ground, the clang reverberating through the hallway as it bounced to her feet.
"We killed him." Character answered simply, and Undyne flinched.
Undyne growled, an energy spear appearing in hand as tears appeared in her eyes.
"Nggaah!" Undyne threw the spear at Character at a lightning speed, blinking away the tears.
They threw one arm up, suddenly holding an ink spear and deflecting the energy spear into the rock wall.
Snarling with anger, Undyne sent more and more spears flying at Character, who's soul switched to green.
Pings ran through the area as Character stopped spear after spear, soul green.
You're surprisingly good at this.
Eh, I play a lot of Unfairdyne.
Undyne panted, glaring at Character as they approached.
"You... You bastard! How could you do this?!" She demanded to know, pulling back one fist and throwing it at Character, who let it slam into their face.
Why did you let that hit?
Because we deserved it.
Fair enough.
"We trusted you!" She said, slamming another fist into their face.
"Yeah, you did. Mistake number one." Character said, grabbing Undyne by the wrist.
"Let go of me you little-"
An ink spear shot down through her chest, making the spear in the hand she pulled back disappear as her eyes widened in pain, pupils shrinking as blood ran down her chin from her mouth.
She coughed blood, falling down to one knee.
"You did your best." Character said, expression blank as she placed a hand over her new wound, eyes wide in pain.
"Don't... Patronize me, you piece of trash..." Undyne said, vision fading in and out as dust flaked off of her.
Character walked by her, placing their hands in their pockets.
"Wait... G-get back here..." Undyne said, climbing to her feet.
Character looked over their shoulder at Undyne, who glared, blood dripping from her mouth as dust continued to flake off of her.
"I... I'm not done with you yet!" She tore the spear from her chest.
Character snapped, a Beat Blaster appearing over her.
It fired, and they turned to leave once more.
"I... I said get back here..!"
They looked over their shoulder, what was left of Undyne stumbling after them.
They stood there, watching as she fell to her hands and knees before them, chunks of her body missing due to the blast.
"..." They said nothing, turning to leave once more.
"I..." Undyne's hands clenched into the dirt.
"I'm not gonna ask again!" She said, flakes of dust coming back to her in a blue glow.
Uh oh.
Character looked over their shoulder, watching the glowing blue orb form.
A spear shot from the burst of blue, and they moved their head to the side, letting it soar by their face, cutting into their cheek.
"For all of the Monsters, and for the humans too..." Undyne the Undying stepped from the glow, teeth gritting.
"I cannot die here!"
Character threw their arms up, Undyne shooting forward and ramming her knee into the X they'd created with their arms to block.
They were thrown back through the air, wincing in pain as spears filled the air above them.
They back flipped in air, landing and skidding as they brought up one hand, a dome of keys appearing above then and blocking the spears.
Undyne shot forward, stabbing at them with one spear, only for them to duck to the side, stabbing at her with their own ink spear.
Undyne brushed their spear to the side with the handle of her own, crouching down and ramming her spear through their abdomen, making them cough blood as their eyes widened in pain.
Undyne threw the spear and, as they were connected, Character with it.
Character hit the snow outside, rolling.
Undyne glared, another spear appearing in hand.
Character slowly climbed to their hands and knees as they laughed, coughing blood and tearing the spear from their stomach.
They continued to laugh, stumbling to their feet and throwing the spear onto the ground, coughing blood with their laughter.
Undyne grit her teeth, shooting at them and slamming into them forearm first, pressing her forearm under their chin and slamming them into the rock Alphys kept her camera hidden behind, snarling as she pulled her spear back, pinning them there.
Character spun their knife in their hand, slashing up and across Undyne's chest, tearing through the heart on her armor.
Undyne winced, but didn't hesitate to stab down through their skull.
They laughed all the way.
Shatter.
Flash.
Character started with shooting off at Undyne, pulling back an ink spear and jumping, stabbing at her only for the spear to be caught.
The ink on the spear spun, tearing through Undyne's hand and sending her fingers shooting off into the distance.
Undyne paid that no mind, palming Character in the face with her blood coated hand and sending them back into the snow, flipping and skidding.
They back flipped onto their feet, spears appearing around them as their soul became green.
They deflected spear after spear with their own, Undyne shooting forward and slamming the handle of her spear into their jaw, blood and teeth flying through the air as they shot back, smashing into the rock wall next to the Ruins entrance.
Undyne wasted no time shooting forward and stabbing through their chest, making them cough blood.
They reached up weakly, grabbing Undyne by the side of the face.
They looked almost sad for a moment, and Undyne looked somewhat confused before their grip tightened, and they tore their hand back, blood flying through the air.
Undyne's eye was wide in pain, pupil shrunk as blood spewed from the side of her face,. Character grinned and laughed hysterically, coughing blood as they held a chunk of Undyne's face in their hand.
Eye full of hurt, Undyne grabbed Character by the face, slamming the back of their head into the stone and closing her hand slowly, their laughter continuing up until their skull gave in.
Shatter.
Flash.
Undyne jumped back, Beat Blasters destroying the ground where she once was, throwing dust into the air.
Character shot through the dust, pulling back their knife.
Undyne caught them with a punch to the side of the face, throwing them back into the snow before stomping down on their side, the sound of cracks running across the land as they roared in pain.
Undyne pulled them up by the collar of their shirt, pulling back her fist and slamming it into their face, throwing them back into the snow, which they skidded through on their back.
They looked up, spears filling the sky above them before firing down all at once.
A dome of ink appeared above them, spinning and absorbing the spears, throwing them right back at Undyne.
She deflected spear after spear with her own, Character shooting off at then and flying past her spear, ramming one knee into her face and sending her slamming back onto the snow, more of it falling around them.
With a roar, Character slammed one fist into Undyne's face, laughing as they pulled back another, punching her again and again.
Spears appeared through out the sky behind them, firing down at them as Undyne shot up, grabbing them in a bear hug as the spears stabbed down through both of them.
Shatter.
Flash.
Pens and spears collided, breaking apart as Character and Undyne shot at one another once again, clangs filling the air as knife hit spear.
Undyne pushed Character back as they collided in air, throwing their spear directly through them after that.
They hit the ground, skidding and groaning, holding their new wound.
Undyne landed in front of them, glaring down at them.
They laid on their side, grinning as blood seeped from their mouth and wound, hair covering their eyes.
"How could you?" Undyne asked, eyes narrowing.
"Dunno." They answered, grin remaining. "Thought it'd be fun." they looked up to her, eyes wide as red fire burnt from each one.
"I was right."
Undyne grit her teeth, stomping down at their skull.
Ink shot up, wrapping around her ankle and twisted it, snapping it.
She grit her teeth in pain, refusing to cry out as she stumbled and fell back on her bottom.
"Heheheh..." They stood slowly, tearing the spear from their abdomen.
"Time to die-" They rose their knife before another spear shot through their shoulder, making them stumble back.
A blue puddle appeared below them, a blue spear shooting up and stabbing through their side!
"Ahah... Ahahah..." Character grinned, slouched slightly as blood dripped from their chin, shadow covering their face.
A red aura exploded out around them, the spears disintegrating. The ones in them and the ones surrounding them, that is.
"I suppose I should tell you... You can't kill me." They grinned down at Undyne.
"Is that a challenge, punk?" Undyne glared.
"No, I mean no one can kill me. I die when I decide I die." Character said, grin widening.
"I'm DETERMINED enough to come back whenever someone kills me." Character said, and Undyne's eyes widened.
"You've actually killed me 3 times already." They said, Undyne looking confused.
"But I'm able to go back to just as our fight started every time." Character said, raising one arm, Beat Blasters filling the sky behind them.
"So it doesn't matter how many times you kill me. Eventually, I'm going to beat every opponent I encounter, because I can keep refighting them until I learn all of their tricks."
"Get it now, hero? You can't win." Character grinned, placing one foot on Undyne's chest.
"... Can't win, huh?" Undyne grinned. "Funny, because I'm pretty sure I've won three times over now."
"..." Character smiled.
"Goodbye."
Cter?
Yes?
Footsteps echoed through New Home, Character stopping in front of the Mirror in Asgore's home.
"Are you... Doing alright?" Chara asked, their reflection in the mirror.
"Strange question." Cter responded.
"You usually aren't so... Grinny." they glanced to the side. "I find it odd."
"Aw, are ya worried about me?" Cter grinned, left eye glowing red.
It wasn't the mocking grin he'd put on occasionally. It was that murderous, psychotic grin.
"No." They said, eyes narrowing as they frowned.
"I guess I just... Didn't think it'd be this easy." Chara shrugged. "Figured you'd fight me a lot more on this."
"Why should I?" Cter asked, arching a brow at them as that grin remained.
"You said it yourself..." Cter began walking away from the mirror.
"We are very much alike."
"..." The reflection watched them disappear before disappearing as well.
"How much you wanna bet Sass is waiting at the end of the Judgement Hall?" Cter asked, grinning and glancing up, as if trying to look into their own mind.
It depends, I'm I betting that he's there or not there? Because I'll bet you all the money I've got that he's there. And did you just call Sans Sass?
Their footsteps echoed down the golden hall, seeing the shadowed figure standing at the end of it.
"So... You've been busy, huh?"
Meanwhile In A Different Universe...
C Frisk watched them play basketball from the window. they figured if the other humans saw an eyeless version of one of the players just standing there, they'd probably be more than a little freaked out.
They looked over their shoulder, hearing the door open.
"Gaster." They greeted.
"They've almost finished with their Timeline." Gaster said, pupils missing.
"Yes, I know." C Frisk looked down. "I surely hope Sans can keep them at bay long enough for them to finish this game."
"... I feel like your priorities aren't in order." Gaster said, looking somewhat confused.
"Well I can't just go down there and tell them in front of everyone. Then everyone will want to go there and help, and that spells disaster."
"Wouldn't having more people there help? I mean, it helped defeat Chara last timeline."
"Yes, if they just had a knife, it would. But with powers like Cter's, the bigger the target or the more there are, the easier it is to hit."
"I really think only one person can stop Character." C Frisk looked down.
"Let me guess." Gaster glanced to the side, frowning.
"He's already proven that he can come back from death without loading a save." C Frisk argued.
"But we don't know if he can do that again." Gaster said.
"Well, if Chara and Cter could still become Character I would send them both, but now that Chara is no longer a ghost and has their own body back, that plan won't work."
"Frisk, Cter is still a child. A child who has been through a lot, but a child no less." Gaster argued. "We can't keep dumping all of our problems on him."
"Then give me an alternative." C Frisk said, and Gaster's eyes narrowed.
"..." Gaster sighed.
"So... I've got a question for ya." Sans glanced to the side. "Do you think even the worst person can change?"
"That everyone can be a good person if they just try?"
Character remained silent.
"Heheheh... I don't." Sans said, pupils disappearing. "Used to, but you've made it widely clear."
"Frankly kid, I'm done. I'm done letting you humans crush me again and again. I'm done getting my hopes up for nothing. I'm done with hope, I'm done with humans, and most importantly, I'm done with you." Sans said, eyes narrowing as his hands clenched into fists.
"So I'm going to ask you nicely just once. RESET, or you're gonna have a really. Bad. Time." Sans said, pupils missing once again as he stared right through Character.
They grinned, taking a step forward. Sans sighed.
"Welp, sorry old lady." Sans glanced to the side, grin remaining. "Really thought things were gonna be different this time."
Sans closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
"It's a beautiful day outside." He said, sunlight shining in through the wide open barrier a few open doors down.
"Birds are singing," Birds chirped in the distance.
"Flowers are blooming..." The flowers of the Throne Room seemed to rise up to meet the sunlight shining down on them.
"And on days like these... Traitors like you..."
Sans reached out, Character's soul becoming blue.
"Should be burning in Hell."
They were thrown down, slamming into the ground face first before jumping up, expecting bones to shoot out from under them.
A Gaster Blaster appeared at their side, firing and throwing them across the room, where another bone shot out, smashing into their back and stopping them dead.
Sans threw his hand down, slamming them into the ground before whipping them into the air, two more Gaster Blasters appearing above them and firing, making an X with the blasts, engulfing them.
Character fell to the ground, hitting it and bouncing once.
"What, did'ja think I was gonna do something else?" Sans grinned, glancing to the side.
*You feel like you're going to have a really bad time.
I jumped, reaching for the hoop as everything seemed to move in slow motion, Asriel, Chara, and Frisk all jumping to block me.
Sans and Monster Kid jumped in their way, and I kicked off of Monster Kid's back as lightly as I could, slamming the ball into the hoop.
"And that's game!" Suzy said, jumping up as we all landed at once.
"BOOM!" I said, throwing my hands into the air. Cheers erupted from the crowd.
"I! AM! GOD!" I said, walking in a circle around Chara as I fist pumped, Chara glaring at me.
"Man, we sunk three hours into this game..." Frisk said, looking at their watch.
"Welp, now that I've proven I'm still the best around, I'm gonna go back to the room." I said, placing my hands in my pockets and walking towards the room.
The crowd cheered as we left the area, all of them dispersing as well.
"T-that was really amazing, Cter!" Suzy said as she ran to catch up with me.
"Thanks, Suzy." I said, smiling. "But I'm nothin' special, just your average baller."
"Yeah, right." Suzy said, rolling her eyes.
"Not buyin' that one?" I smirked lightly at her, closing one eye.
What can I say? it was nice having a fan.
I'm sure you can guess I didn't get many in the old days.
We walked up the stairs towards my room, and as I pushed open the door, I was slightly surprised.
"Uh... How did Frisk beat us up here?" Suzy asked as C Frisk turned around. "And... Why... Are they missing... Their eyes..?"
"Oh, that's Core Frisk. I call 'em C." I said, walking into the room.
"Didn't think you'd still be here." I said, hands in my pockets as I walked up to C Frisk.
"Well I didn't think you'd straight up jump out a window when I had something so important to talk about." C Frisk said, eyes narrowing.
"Y'know you claim to know everything but my name, but clearly you don't if you didn't see that one coming." I said, grinning lightly.
C Frisk shook their head.
"Uh... Can you give us a moment?" C Frisk looked past me to Suzy.
"It's 'important'." I said in a mocking tone, using air quotes.
Suzy smiled at my joke, closing the door.
"So..." I frowned, looking back to C Frisk. "How much time do we have?"
"... Not long. A few hours at best." C Frisk said, looking to the side.
"Aaaaaaaah sh!t." I said, looking up and sighing.
"Then we better get moving."
"Ah!" I fell over, startled by the voice.
"What are you, Batman?!" I snapped at Chara.
They shrugged in response.
"I mean... How did you even..?!" I looked between them, the door, and the window.
"Not important." They said. "We need to go."
"Uh... About that..." I glanced to the side.
"..." Their eyes narrowed as they looked back at me. "You can't seriously be thinking of taking them on alone, can you?"
"Well I've come through worse." I shrugged.
"No! No you haven't!" They said. "The worse you've gone up against alone is me, and they are literally me and you combined!"
"Are you an idiot?!" They said, knocking on my skull and making me frown. "Is there anything up here at all?"
"First, it's 'You and I', second, we've seen that I can come back if I die."
"Possibly! That was a chance thing, Cter! And it's been awhile since you've had to so much as load a save." They crossed their arms. "If you try to fight that thing alone, you'll die."
"Meh." I shrugged, walking past them. "If that thing really is killing everyone, it's not me anymore. It's someone with my strength. And if it doesn't think or act like me, I can beat it."
"Cter, I'm coming with you, and there's nothing you can do." They said, eyes narrowing.
"Well I certainly appreciate the care," I said mockingly. "But trust me on this."
"The only reason I'm helping is because I want to kill you myself." They glared. "And if that thing kills you I guarantee Sans, Gaster, and Grillby will stop being as lenient as they've been."
"Whatever you say, Edgy Mc Edgerson." I said, beginning to stretch.
"Alright G, hope I can remember some of what you told me." I said, stretching my hands out before shaking them out, looking into the wall.
My eyes seemed to focus in, and I could see codes. Ones and zeros moving around rapidly.
"And... There!" I jabbed forward into empty space, hitting what seemed to be a mix between a one and a zero, suddenly opening a portal.
Chara's eyes widened in surprise.
"Peeeeeace." I said, making my voice deeper before falling backwards into the portal.
They jumped after it, grabbing at nothing as the portal disappeared.
"Why is he a walking meme?!" Chara snapped, hands clenched into fists in frustration.
C Frisk shrugged in response.
"Ugh..." They groaned, pinching the bridge of their nose before focusing in where the portal had closed.
"Alright... Let's see if I remember how to do this..."
"Wait, you're not gonna-"
Chara quickly opened their own portal.
"Got it!" They said before looking to C Frisk. "See ya!" They jumped into the portal.
"Wait but-" C Frisk reached forward, the portal disappearing. They sighed, pinching the bridge of their nose.
Why do I even try?"
"Ugh... Okay, mighta screwed that one up." I said, sitting up and rubbing my head.
"What the..?" I looked around, seeing I was sitting in the middle of an empty street, clouds blocking the sun as smoke swirled into the sky.
"Something tells me I'm in the wrong place..." I said, standing and dusting myself off.
I looked ahead to the sound of footsteps echoing through the empty streets of this ghost town.
My eyes widened.
"W-who... Who are..?" Chara looked terrifyingly confused, blood dripping from their knife.
"Oh boy..." I said, eyes narrowing as I stood ready.
"No... You... You're supposed to be..." Fear rose into their eyes. "I... I killed you!"
"Uh... Yeah, looks like that went well for ya." I said, and their knife shook.
"I'll just have to kill you again!" They shot off at me, and I sighed, bringing one hand into the air.
Pens shot up in front of them, forcing them to jump back.
"Look pal, I don't have time for this." I said, placing my hands in my pockets and beginning to walk away.
They snarled, teeth gritting as their grip on their knife tightened.
"DON'T YOU IGNORE ME!"
I looked over my shoulder, eyes widening.
Ink caught them by the wrist, stopping their knife mere centimeters from my face.
"..." I sighed, the ink whip picking them up and whipping them across the street.
"Why do I always get stuck cleaning up everyone elses messes?"
"Okay... Maybe I screwed up something there..." Chara sat up, rubbing their head.
"Haven't done that in awhile, after all..." They stood, one hand on their head as they walked out of the alley they'd appeared in, looking around their town.
"Huh... Did I just teleport or something?" They said, holding their chin in confusion.
"?!"
They looked over their shoulder, somewhat confused.
"Oh, it's just you. Guess you messed up the-"
They jumped back, a blast destroying the ground where they once were.
"Cter, what the hell?!" They snapped, instinctively reaching for a knife they didn't have.
"What. Are you. Doing here?" Cter asked, standing in the shadows. Only the red fire from his left eye illuminated his face.
"Questioning that lighting." They said, arching a brow at Cter, who frowned, hands clenching into fists.
Cter snarled, pens shooting out from under Chara and forcing them to jump back.
"Stop doing that!" They snapped at him.
Cter opened one palm to Chara as multiple Beat Blasters appeared behind him, left eye burning red.
"I don't know how the hell you're back, but I'll bury you again if I have to."
Well, this escalated quickly, didn't it?
I really don't have much to say, as I'm rushing through the proof reading and authors notes to post this.
