Epilogue

Everything went as planned in getting the final human soul. Burgerpants and Tina soon returned with the final soul, it actually belonging to an old military man in his 80s. And once the barrier was demolished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the monsters left immediately, but a few stayed behind with the humans to make sure they had some company. They included a few Temmies, a few Hotland residents, and a few Snowdin residents.

But among the celebrations of everyone finally able to see the morning sun for the first time in forever, Asgore knew he had to do something as well. He went to the basement of his castle, which was now dilapidated and badly damaged from the blast of light that happened from their singing. He found the casket of his adoptive daughter, looked inside, and saw that she was still there. Her bones were all that remained, her skin having turned to ash.

"My daughter... I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you... I feel responsible for this... I neglected to give you a proper burial... your spirit was a vengeful one... do not worry, my child. I shall give you a proper burial... but to be on the safe side..." Asgore sighed as he snapped his fingers and, combined with Toriel and Asriel's help, they sealed the casket and the contents within inside of a miniature barrier, one that nothing could get in or out of.

"Asgore... where are we going to bury her?" Toriel asked.

"We shall bury her out to sea. She once mentioned she has never seen the ocean before, when she lived with us. I want to grant her wish... to see the ocean. But this barrier I have on her... it will last so long as at least one of our family line is still alive. I fear for what may happen if the barrier were to fail," Asgore sighed.

"Daddy, don't worry," Asriel said, him putting a hand on his father with a smile. "She may have not been the best person, but... I think that being in the Underground for so long... and her constant time loop troubles... it changed her mind. She wasn't all bad. She just had a very rough life..."

"I know, son... we'll need to do this carefully so as not to alert anyone... call up Sans. We need him to take us to the surface and warp us to a place on the ocean's waters. Preferably over the deepest part of it," Asgore said.

"That would be the Mariana's Trench," said Sans as he appeared from the doorway with a smile on his face.

"Sans?" Toriel smiled.

"The Mariana's Trench is the deepest part of the oceans, deeper than even the tallest mountains... but... it also is one that is the darkest. Like an unfathomable amount of dark... I think it'd be easier to bury her in a coral reef. She doesn't need to be reminded of the darkness... and besides, coral reefs have a large variety of fish. She won't be alone in a coral reef. But she'd be forever alone in the Mariana's Trench... Player once told me something. Nobody deserves to be lonely forever. Not even someone like Chara," Sans said, me smiling at him.

"Truer words were never spoken... let's go," Toriel smiled as the group then took the casket and proceeded to find a coral reef to fit the job. And the one chosen happened to be the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world. Upon burying her body and casket under the sandy ground, they then paid their respects by saying words of wisdom.

"Chara... though you were a troubled person before we met, I know you had some good in you. If not, you wouldn't have created Carrie... you wouldn't have befriended Asriel... Chara... I hope that, on the other side, you can finally find peace of mind... we bury you here, in the place you wanted to visit for a long time. The ocean... all the fish in this coral reef shall be your friends now. You will no longer be alone. We promise from the bottom of our hearts... farewell, Chara... my only daughter... I love you," Toriel said with sadness in her voice. "Please... be good... wherever you may be..."

After the monsters had assimilated themselves with the humans of the surface, news reports the world over started talking about the fairy tales being proven true. And though the humans showed hostility at first, the monsters continued to show kindness. And, after a couple months, tensions finally died down and everyone was able to get along for the most part. And, true to the decrees made by Toriel and Asgore, the world was now at peace. Asriel moved back to the Underground and, with Sans and Papyrus's help, he built a home in the arena that Player sacrificed her life in. And when he did, he could've sworn he heard her singing the final verse of the song...

"Player... I know we didn't know each other much... but I will never forget you. This house shall be both my new home... and a symbol of the brave sacrifice you made, so that all monsters may live. So that all humans may live... we all promise you, from every monster in existence, we shall never forget you... the Underground and the humans above have all agreed. You are a true hero. The angel of lore. Without you... we'd never be where we are today," Asriel sniffled at the thought... but he then felt something touch him... he turned around and saw that there was something on the ground near him. It looked like armor that was red and had an obvious hole through the chest area.

"Asriel..." Player's voice spoke, which spooked the goat child a bit. "I am so grateful... to have been on this adventure... take my armor... wear it with pride... proof of the battle that we all shared that fateful day... and tell Toriel... tell your mom... tell her you love her. Give her a kiss and a hug every day. And tell her... tell her that I'm with my parents now... where the angels trod," Player said, Toriel then bursting into tears as he fell to the ground... and a voice heard everything as well.

"Player..." Minus sobbed as she walked to Asriel and climbed his shoulder. She had managed to get pregnant by means of having sex with Player in the past... she didn't expect to, but now she was carrying Player's baby. And she knew exactly what she was going to name her kid. She'd name it after her girlfriend, the one who made everything possible.

"Minus..." Player spoke, Minus smiling in tears. "Take good care of our baby... though my spirit is in heaven... I'll always be with you... I'll always be... with everyone... I'm watching over you... make sure you raise our little darling... to be the kindest person ever," Player smiled to Minus, which made her tear up.

"O-Okay... I will, my love... I will," Minus smiled as a slight whooshing of wind blew by and a small thing was dropped on the ground. It was a piece of cheddar cheese. Minus smiled and grabbed the cheese and hugged it before eating it. "You knew I loved cheddar... I always will love you, Player," Minus smiled happily. And the world would continue to be happy for a very long time, with the humans and the monsters enjoying their everyday lives together in harmony, remembering the hero of the Underground and her noble sacrifice.

And as for the song that Player added the final verse to? It was called Hopes and Dreams and it was officially named the Monster's Anthem, forever cementing the lyrics in the hearts of monster and humankind for ages to come.
