Gaster could not believe it, at least for a moment. He had thought that this was a hallucination, that he was not really here. That is until he reached out and touched his son's face. He let out a chocked sob as he yanked Sans into a tight hug and sobbed purple colored tears in grief of all the lost time and relief that this is not a mind trick the void has played a trick on him with.

"Sans... my son.. I'm here... I'm here.." he spoke with a shaky voice as he clung to Sans like if her let him go it would show that it was just a figment of his imagination fueled by the longing to be back in reality. Sans soon reciprocates hugging him back just as tightly as he cries too. Likely just as afraid for different reasons.

He looked to the side seeing the young woman, Mercy, whom he had watched for such a long time before she even fell down here, standing in the room with the crystal encased cheese looking like she is unsure what to do. He realized she must have saved in order to make sure he was not to be erased if something were to happen to her. But now is likely anxious cause she does not want to intrude on the moment he and his son were having. He smiled at her using his magic to pull her over and brought her into the hug. "Thank you.. thank you for helping me come back."

She teared up shaking her head unable to speak right now. The poor dear always got emotional when it came to seeing people have moments like this on the surface in public locations. She is such a precious soul. He felt his son pull back as he let out a small laugh. "All this time.. I thought... I thought you were... I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.."He frowned shaking his head rubbing his son's back like he had when his son was a child to soothe him.

"It is not your fault Sans.. what happened to me was my own doing and nothing for you to feel guilty for. You would not have known that I was trapped in a place like the void. And even if you did you would not have had the power alone to liberate me, and likely would have suffered the same fate leaving your brother alone and not remembering you." He felt much joy withing his newly reformed soul but sighed a frown coming to his face.

"As much as I would love to continue our reunion I am afraid that we will have to cut it short for now. There is something that poses a great danger to you Mercy... I am afraid that when I had been tossed from this world it had been what caused the humans of the past that fell underground after my accident to be corrupted and also is mostly responsible for attaching something to the previous holders of the reset ability.

I need to have your help Sans to create something that will repel the entity so that the cycle of resets will not have to be concerned about again. After this is dealt with I would love to be able to.. to meet your brother.. and try to make up for all the time that was lost." He watched his son's expression look to be shocked upon the new information looking over to the person whom he has developed feelings for before his expression hardens and nods. He sighs softly as he released his son and the young woman from his standing up allowing for his arm to be grabbed by Sans as he teleports to the lab below his old home in Snowdin.

He hopes that what ever he and his son comes up with will be able to restore the order of things... before the entity has the chance to strike again.


You bite your lower lip as you look between the skeleton that had been like the father you always wished had been real growing up, to the other skeleton whom your sure is somewhere between friend and boyfriend... hehe your bonefriend perhaps. Maybe you could say that when things settle down. You tense as feel the taller skeleton gave your head a gentle pat like he would in your dreams to help calm you which made you relax refexivly. 'I am so glad what ever it is we did worked.' You mentally agree with your other half as you smile shyly up at him.

"Don't worry Stardrop. My son and I will figure this out so you will not have to stay down here long." You feel you face burn slightly feeling embarrassed and you let out a whine. "... Why are you calling her Stardrop?" Sans said his confusion only making you more flustered. The parental skeleton just smiles sporting a amused smirk.

"It is just something I would call her when I visited her dream as she grew up. The place I was trapped in... allowed for me to wander beyond the reaches of the underground. I had seen many things and while I had the misfortune to of witnessed her life she had suffered I did what I could to try and make it not so unbearable. Much like I tried to do with you and your brother.

Sadly even though I could interact in dreams like with most things the void and made it so in waking it is not remembered. Though due to her coming into the section of the void that was bridged between the world and where I was at at her reaction she remembers most of the dreams now." You made a point to not look at either skeleton as you took one of the folding chairs set it up the sat down. You were honestly to overwhelmed with everything right now to really speak so you chose to tune out what they are talking about.

As you zone out you find yourself hoping that meeting his long lost father would make Papyrus very very happy.


"C-Chara... your... hehe... that's it. I have finally lost my mind completely." Flowey said shaking his head with his eyes closed before opening them again to see Chara and another older looking ghost emerge from where they were at. The older ghost looks... to be pissed about something. He felt himself tense up and shrink back a bit looking to Chara. They look almost exsactly like they did before their died... aside from being slightly translucent.

"... This is not my imagination is it.. your.. your really back?" He said after a moment of staring. Chara shrugs with a noncommittal 'eh' sound coming from them. He perks up a genuine smile on his face. He may not feel being happy, but it did not mean that he could not fake it.. was he faking it? He does not know nor does he care. Even if Chara is a ghost now it is a relief to see them again. And not be looking at someone that looks similar to them.

"Anyways... Azzy there is something we need to talk about... I have a deal for you. And I need you to agree before I let you in on it." He tilted his head confused for a moment. But shook the confusion off. What ever it is it does not matter. This was Chara. His best friend. Sure they are with a strange ghost woman but he trusts Chara. And what ever they have in mind it will surely be exciting. "Sure. What is it that you want to do Chara!" He agreed with a chipper chirp and a eager tone in his voice which turned into a startled yelp as he was uprooted from the ground with red magic and brought over to them. Was being a ghost now giving them magic!? He suddenly began to feel uneasy about accepting so easily a chill going up his steam.

He watched in shock as Chara made a monster soul appear, one that took matter of moments to realize it was his which he thought had been long destroyed before it got thrusted into him causing him to scream as his plant body began to morph and change.

"I need you to try and fix our mistakes, before things take a turn for the worst." Was the last thing Asriel hears before he falls to the ground passing out from the toll it took for his body to return to his true form... all be it with a bit more yellow to his fur on top of his head. As the ghosts leave him they hope that he will be able to restore the king's brokenness.. before he finds out about the human that is still alive down here and tries to end her life. After the first time she had died they knew...

She would not be so lucky to avoid the entity trying to take control a second time.
