A/N I don't watch horror films, so sorry in advance if the scenes aren't accurate. I could only write about Scream as I got the basic gist of thet scene from watching Scary Movie and from the movie trailers combined.
(Before the resets and circular narrative.)
An e-mail arrived for the folks at the AOTP Mansion, at the same time Zach arrived with magic club. 'I'm back, sorry though. Hey Alphys, what did u mean by 'Oh Toriel, you have no idea' When u responded 2 her saying 'I don't know why anyone would like to flirt with an old person like me.'?' Diana asked.
"Oh, heh, that's easy, you see ... you know how t-there's a camera hidden in the bushes that i-is right next to the door to Snowdin? Well it was er on...? And well, I w-was curious so y-you know? A-and well... SanswouldspoutpickuplinesbeforeTorielwouldcometothedoor " Alphys spluttered, making Sans go bright blue and Toriel go red faced.
"you uhh ... you saw that ... you were watching?" Sans asked, who was now hiding in his hooded jacket, Sans's skull was really blue.
"Alright kids, today's lesson is-" Zach was about to introduce his lesson, when the ground started shaking
'AAHHHHHHH is MT Ebott on a fault line or something? Oh no, what should we do!? Well, I mean what should u do, considering i'm on the other side of the 4th wall, safe from the danger!' The rest of the e-mail stated. The Earthquake intensified, causing bits of rubble to fall.
"Holy Crap! Alright, everyone remember barrier? We're gonna do that but bigger, everyone join hands, arms, anything as long as you're touching!" Zach shouted. All the kids from the magic club, along with Frisk, both Charas, Zach, Zara, Zacha, Abigail, Daniel, Undertale fannnnnnn and the rest of the Undertale crew. Mettaton hesitarted, before brushing it off and joining hands with Utf first, then muffet on the other side. They did this until the earthquake stopped "I think it's over... be ready in case there's an aftershock... You kids did very well." Zach congratulated all of the students.
Saoirse only just realised she was still holding kid Zach's hand and letting go, going bright red. "U-umm.." She stammered.
" OH! Sorry, guess I don't need to keep holding your hand do I?" Kid Zach said, before Saoirse could make an excuse. Kid Zach then went to grab a snack as did a few other kids.
"B-but I w-want you to.." Saoirse said under her breath, which only Zach could really hear.
In the background, barely visible if they were in a movie (Or a webcomic) Utf cradled her hand, as if someone had squeezed it very hard." Heh, the grip was a real metal crusher" Utf muttred with a very, Very, VERY slight bronze-ish tinge on the cheeks. Everyone else was wondering who named a song to make a song play from the speakers.
A while later, back in the Q&AWTG universe, Chara was preparing dinner, whilst Zara was playing in the living room. A floating red baloon caught Zara's eye, so she followed it outside. Chara followed behind her daughter. The baloon lead Zara to a sewer drain, where a clown suddenly appeared. "Hello Kiddo! What's your name?" The clown stated
"I'm Zara, what's your name." Zara asked, only knowing clowns as silly people, who always did something funny, she did not know of any evil clowns.
"Zara? That's a great name! Hey, how about you come on in here? We got a little circus set up, we got balloons and corn dogs and chocolate and even an elephant!" The clown stated.
Zara cheered as she attemped an elephant noise. "That sounds like fun, but I don't have money to pay for tickets." Zara responded.
"See? Now, just come on down and we'll have some fun, what do you say?" The clown smiled eerily.
The creepy smile made the hairs at the nape of Zara's neck stand on end. Sensing danger, she ran away. "MOM! HELP ME" Zara shouted as the clown grabbed her ancles, dragging her into the sewer drain.
"Zara! Mom's coming!" Alarmed, Chara ran to grab onto Zara's wrists. Zara screamed as the clown bit one of her ankles off. Eventually, Chara could not hold on much longer and she looked on in horror as Zara was pulled under. She heard a chomp, a scream and then nothing at all.
Chara was frozen in place, when she saw the clown, fresh dust splattered across him, Zara's dust. "Hello Chara, don't worry about her, she'll float. Do you wanna float to?" The clown hummed as he went to grab Chara, who feantically brought up the reset button and smacked her palm on it.
(Reset one, Chara and Zach's)
Chara woke up with a start. The room was still, except for a man in the room, with a happy grin, this man was Jack. "So they were telling the truth! Oh this is gonna be FUN!" He smirked.
"Who are you and what do you want with me!?" Chara growled.
"Oh, sorry where are my manners? I'm Jack, and I have a little game for you Chara. All you have to do is survive until the sun comes up tomorrow, then everything will go back to normal and I'll leave you be... Well almost everything. Injuries, memories of the current reset, and death will remain. Take as many tries as you want, I always love it when horror movie protagonists are smart. Well, have fun! I know I will.~" Jack stated as he fizzled out like TV static.
Chara frantically shook Zach awake, who was groggy in doing so. "Chara? What's wrong?" Zach asked. Chara began frantically explaining the recent reset to him. "Whoa, whoa, Chara, calm down... now are you sure this wasn't just a nightmare? I know your thing with clowns and I remember when we watched It when we were younger, you started having nightmares, and you just described the sewer scene with Zara in it..." Zach explained, trying to get back to sleep. After all, it was the first day of fall break.
"Zach, I swear, it was a reset, it occurred 3pm on the 13th of October!, today is ... 6:05 am on the 13th of OCTOBER!" Chara exclaimed.
"Alright, I believe you. Now what do we do about it?" Zach asked
"We wait for the others who remember the resets to show, so we can discuss it.
(Meanwhile, Sans and Tori's)
The three kids got up, only to see Sans up unusually early. "Dad? Where you going?" Emma asked.
"there was a reset, so i'm seeing if chara is alright, as she caused the last reset." Sans explained as he went to teleport to Zach's house.
"Oh... Well let me know if we can help... I know I don't say it enough, but love you dad." Emma explained as she hugged Sans.
Sans chuckled. "what? so your feelings for sorial are more than love? if that's the case, then i think you love sorial more than me." Sans wiped an imaginary tear as Emma went beet red. Sorial overheard and he went bright blue.
Sariel got a text from Allie 'Hey, apparently there was a reset, mom is going out to investigate'
'We know...' Sariel responded.
'Hey, Mac's cousin is coming to visit, his family just moved from England, you've probably seen him as his family lives around the corner from your house, she said his name was Steven.
...wait ...I haven't shown you a picture of Mackenzie yet.' Allie attatched a photo to the message. Mackenzie had long, platnium blonde hair tied in a ponytail and rich blue eyes.
'Wait ... Steven said he had a cousin called Kenzie, but he nicknamed her Kengsington and she looks just like the photo Steven had of her... so that means ...' Sariel texted.
'... that we're cousins and the people we're dating are also cousins!' Allie responded.
(Later)
Everyone who remembered the resets arrived at Zach and Chara's house. This consisted of; Frisk, Sans, Winged Utf, Ink, Error, CORE and Flowey was last to show up, popping out of the ground. "Oh, hey guys, I take it you're here about the reset? I'll get breakfast going while Chara fills you in." Zach explained. That, which Chara did. The only ones, besides Zach who did not remember resets were Patricia and Will who were 'Celebrating' Patricia not being pregnant.
"so, this unknown is really out for your guts?" Sans asked.
"UGH! Who CARES! " Flowey shouted, rolling his eyes.
"I care, dumb weed! We all do!" Frisk snapped as she slapped Flowey with some fire magic.
"Whoever is doing this is a dirty GLITCH!" Error stated.
"So ... any leads?" Ink asked.
"Well the person playing this 'game', his name is Jack, he told me just as I reset. As for whoever is working with him, we have the name of who this belongs to, all we need now is the location, and that's where Zach comes in." Chara explained.
"We should look for this clown, comb the streets!" Utf exclaimed.
They looked for the clown AND combed the streets. For hours. As soon as they come back to the house, Chara was bludgeoned over the head. As soon as she came to, she found herself tied to a chair, with people in masks made out of skin, eating a disturbing looking feast. Suddenly, Jack phased in with a TV like static. "Ok, so if you haven't caught on yet, each reset's going to be a different movie theme, First was It, this is Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Oh and before you ask, you're the only one who can see or hear me, makes it simpler." Jack explained. Chara then warily looked at the food. "Yeah, I had to alter the rules of the universe a bit to make this work, so monsters will have dead bodies instead of turning to dust until the game is done. Gotta give these guys creativity, I didn't think they'd find a good way to eat Sans, but they used his bones and made soup broth. And it looks like... Yep that appears to be Herbs made from Flowey in there. I think they made Frisk into seasoning... Must be on the Angel nuggets." Jack explained.
In anger, Chara Projectile vomited fire onto Jack, whilst she brought up the reset button.
(Reset two.)
Everyone who was at the house the past reset were somehow brought back here. "Well then. I'll leave you to it then. Oh by the way, they won't always be at your house, You may be somewhere else for the plot to work. Good luck!" Jack explained
Someone then teleported into the house, having black hair, brown eyes, and wearing jeans with a black shirt, a man named Souji. "Gotta help them, Gotta help them, Gotta-" Souji only just noticed that his teleporting caused the earthquake. "Oops. Thankfully this works." He said, getting out an Ultimatrix.
Nothing appeared, until it was night time. That was when the phone rang. "Chara Benson ... what is your favorite type of horror film? A creepy voice asked.
"Uhh, why do you want to know?" Chara asked.
"Open the front door, Chara, I have the popcorn here with me!" The voice exclaimed.
Chara curiously opened the door. A hooded figure in a theatre like mask stepped in the room. He held Chara down and literally staabbed her in the back. Before the world turned to black.
(Reset three)
Everyone woke up on a boat, in army uniforms with rifles, including Zara, Zacha and the babies, Chara questioned Jack about this. "What? Never heard the phrase 'the horrors of war'? Ok I know it's a stretch, but just roll with it. Oh and you may want to get ready to run." Jack stated.
"... Wait, this is D-Day, were invading the beaches of Normandy." The Monsters, Paricia and Chara (Due to being nonexistent in that time period. If you read Q&AWTG You would know that Chara was taken from the past, along with Asriel to when the ask took place.) "... We're in one of the bloodiest wars in human history. Once we hit the beaches the Germans will be shooting at us, and we need to find cover." Zach explained.
"Oh come on, I'm Irish, we weren't involved in this shite..." Will whined
"You're Irish, I was dead long before the wars started. And Poor Chara had to skip all those events." Patricia explained.
Souji transformed into "CANNONBOLT! Gotta go ultimate! " Cannonbolt the pressed the big 'go ultimate' button "ULTIMATE CANNONBOLT!" He shouted as he obliterated the war zone. As the boat arrived on land, the adults prepared to shoot any german they saw, either with magic bullets or actual bullets. The triplets were making it difficult, though, by playing with the guns. Nobody noticed a gun going off, or the fact that Sans was hit, eeryone just thought a German soldier decided to act like a stormtrooper.
"Oh-OH" Angel said as she was the first to notice Sans slowly crumbling to dust. When the first person noticed, it was too late, all that was left was a pile of dust. Chara instantly pressed that orange rectangular reset button, right next to the orange rectangular continue button, on the other side of the yellow four pointed star.
(Reset four)
Everyone woke up in hotel, on a mountaintop, with a maze out the back. Zach started twitching and laughing maniacly. everyone tried the front door, but it wouldn't budge, Which meant ... everyone had to escape through the Maze. Even Sans saw teleporting useless and nobody managed a portal. "All work and no play makes Zach a dull boy... You know, I think this place may be haunted... Let's join them shall we?" He said as he grabbed an axe. "C'mon guys, I want to Ax you a question!" Zach said slashing at the others. Winged Utf kept the door closed for as long as she could, but Zach broke out, nearly slicing Utf's wing off. "Heeeeeeeeeres Zachy!" Zach ssaid as he broke through.
"Zach, this isn't you..." Utf tried holding him in place, but it seemed no magic could work here.
"Sans! Hold still!" Zach said as he tried toslice the skeleton.
"didja think i was just gonna stand there and take it? nope" Sans sated.
After Zach sliced through Sans, he went after Chara. Utf saw this as an opportunity to fly ahead and look for the exit. However, Zach managed to knock her out from the sky. "Chara dearest~ where are you?~" Zach hummed. he then switched tactics. "Zara, sweetie? Daddy want to talk to you!" Zach said.
Souji was looking for a way out for everyone, when he saw a dead end. Zach was approaching. Fast. " Oh no! God dammit I'm gonna Die!" He exclaimed. Suddenly, the creature that was after Dawn crash landed on Zach. after that, Takeo and Jen made it a pile, landing in the exact same spot, followed by Steven, making a cherry on top.
"What I'd miss?" Takeo asked. His question was answered quickly, when Chara came across the piles of dust, and reset.
(After many more resets.)
Everyone looked outside to see an onslaught of Zombies coming toward the house. Everyone who came in the previous reset, was caught up on what they missed"eh, it's just zombies, which are actually man-skeleton halfbreeds, we should be able to talk to them." Sans said as he went outside. but these creatures did not follow the Undertale lore, they followed the same lore as 'Night of the living dead.
"Time to go A-" Souji was interrupted by True Gaster, who was dressed as Micheal Jackson.
"UGH, more people trapped in this Thriller." Flowey, being a smart cookie knew what true Gaster was up to, as Thriller started playing. True Gaster did the Thriller dance, with the Zombies joining in. This lasted until Sunrise, meaning everyone was free to go home.
"I'll go and punish Jack, right now!" Souji ecxlaimed, as he teleported to where Jack was.
The man used Pixie dust on him "Nighty Night. " The Pixie dust stated. Souji then teleported back to the house, where another Earthquake hit. everyone looked at him angrily.
"Sorry!" He exclaimed as everyone who wasn't still shaken chased after him.
A/N for those who want to know, time has been going on as usual for the AOTP universe, so whilst it has only been a long day for these people, the people in AOTP have gone through two weeeks, so Charie would be worried about Jen, and Frisk and Chara would wonder what's happened to magic club.
