Chapter 15
Whenever we got off the elevator, I decided that would be the best time to call Alphys, her answering and her being a bit worried.
"H-Hello?" she asked.
"Hey, Alphys? It's Crow," I smiled, her sighing and calming down at that. "I wanted to tell you, Alphys, the family members of the Amalgamates are all very grateful and happy to be reunited with their family members. And Undyne has a message she wanted me to send you... she wants to go on a date with you," I said, Alphys gasping and stammering a bit at that, me smiling and then saying something else. "Come on, Alphys. If Undyne wants to go on a date with you, I'm pretty sure the only answer would be a yes, right? I mean, she's the best of the Royal Guard and one of the toughest monsters down here. Besides, I think Undyne likes you if she's asking for a date, despite finding out what happened," I said, Alphys sighing and giggling slightly on the other end.
"Y-You're right... once again... okay, I'm gonna bite the bullet... I'm going to call her right now! We'll have a great date!... But I also have to tell her about the truth of the human history books and movies I have... they aren't history, but anime," Alphys said, me smirking at that.
"Is that why Undyne is so over-the-top with everything? Heh, I think it'd be better to just let that be. Just tell them that human history is based on the anime, which was centuries before our current year," I suggested.
"O-Okay, I'll do that... it may be another lie, but Undyne really, and I mean REALLY loves those movies and comics! She'd be distraught if she learned the truth... okay, I'm gonna hang up and call her now. Bye," Alphys smiled, us ending the call just as our group arrived at a large hotel that had some neon on it and I saw a note on the ground, two in fact. One was from Sans (you could tell, due to no capital letters) and the other was for a secret shop that was in the right alleyway.
"You guys want to go visit Sans? I want to see what his reaction will be to... well, me merging with Muffet," I smiled.
"It'll most likely be a blank expression, knowing him," Mew Mew smirked.
"I don't know, he was pretty spooky when he showed his true colors," Norma said.
"Well, he did that just to test my power. He wouldn't really kill me. Besides, I have the save spots," I smiled as we got inside of the hotel and we saw that there was a fountain in the middle that had a statue of Mettaton spewing water onto the ground by a sewage drain, which made me smile. And Sans was standing right in front of it.
"heya, did ya get my note?" Sans asked, me nodding at that. "did ya read it yet?" he asked, me shaking my head no at that. "ah, that makes it easier, then. follow me, i got us all reservations to the lounge," Sans smiled as he led us to the left and we got to a fancy-looking place and we saw a Snowdrake up on stage wearing shades and he looked like he was having a good time telling jokes. Most likely Mrs. Snow's husband. Sans had us sit down at the table in the far back of the lounge, where no one was around.
"Okay, Sans, now give it to us straight, what really is going on here?" I asked him, Sans smiling at that.
"well, here's what's goin' on, guys," Sans said as his eyes then lost their pupils and his left eye gained a blue pupil in it and he started to talk again, but this time, he lost all of his soft-spoken nature and we heard him talking in our minds directly. "That fucking Flowey and that horrible child, Frisk. I've been doing some small studies with a special machine that papa Gaster made before making the Gaster Blaster. It showed the anomaly of space and time that happened the moment that Frisk first appeared down here. They have a very odd pattern that he follows. Usually, they do a pacifist ending, then a genocide path, and on every other run through, they do a neutral route, killing only specific characters will leaving others alive, just for sick pleasure... but for some odd reason, every single time they reset the timelines, all of us forget it ever happened... everyone but me, as my secret machine records all of these timelines and is unaffected by the resetting of time and space. I feel there may be a third party person that keeps on doing these horrid actions, but I do not know who it could be... so I wanted to see if it could be someone else. Someone who may be on a higher plane of existence than this world," Sans said, me being confused at him.
"Have you figured it out yet? Who the other party is?" I asked.
"Yes, I have finally deduced the one responsible for resetting the timelines... it is Chara," Sans said, Norma gasping and her shivering a bit.
"I-I-Is that... t-true, Carly?..." Norma asked, me being concerned big time, wondering what her response would be.
"It's not entirely my fault... but I am partially to blame..." Chara said, us gasping at that.
"B-But why? Why do all these horrid actions that Sans mentioned?" Mew Mew asked.
"Because... he... forced me. Numerous times... every time a genocide route happens, I was brought back to life from two reasons. One being Frisk, the other being a certain asshole that is the one responsible for constantly resetting these timelines..." Chara said.
"Who? Who forced you?" Norma asked.
"I... It was... Gaster..." she said. And the moment she said that, something happened that we were definitely NOT prepared for! Out of nowhere, a spooky-looking skeleton appeared right on the table in front of us, Sans gasping and frowning for the first time in his life when he saw Gaster... and his appearance was very creepy. His skull was oddly shaped, having many dents and bumps on it. His eyes were large, empty, and had black holes in the bottom of the sockets. And his smile was the creepiest part, but other than that, his body looked to be intangible!
"So... you've finally figured it out, have you, son?" Gaster asked, me growling and wondering if, since I was part monster now, if I could attack him.
"gaster... why would you do this? what benefit does it gain you?" Sans asked as I pulled my pants down slightly and I grabbed some spider silk, seeing that they were purple and sticky to anything but me.
"It amuses me... to see everyone live out the different timelines..." Gaster said before cackling deeply and ominously, which I then slammed the silk directly into his body and he gasped as I managed to not only trap him, but also simultaneously send out his soul for a soul battle! "What?..." he gasped as I saw his soul was completely black.
"Good luck trying to teleport away now, bastard! This silk is unaffected by any kind of magic, so you're stuck for a soul battle!" I said, Gaster gasping and looking at everyone of us with worry on his face instead of his cocky creepiness from before.
"What are you going to do to me?..." Gaster asked.
"sorry, pops... but i'm tired of these childish games from you. on days like these, skeletons like you..." Sans said before he teleported up to Gaster's soul and his eyes went pure black again. "SHOULD BE BURNING IN HELL!" he exclaimed as he then forced a whole slew of bones to completely cover Gaster's soul, it starting to crack and shatter bit by bit until Gaster's soul finally shattered, him gasping as he then turned into dust... and then, after turning to dust, Sans then teleported it away with a flick of his wrists.
"Where'd you warp the ashes to?" I asked him.
"to the molten lava directly beneath the core," Sans said, him finally sighing and sitting down again, us gobsmacked at him.
"So... what now?" I asked, Sans smiling at us.
"welp, now we know that the timelines can never be reset ever again... but we need to deal with one more thing... is chara completely reformed? or would she be susceptible to kill again?" Sans asked as he sent out Chara directly from Norma's body and she reformed right in front of him, Chara gasping and her shivering in fear before Sans. "Look into my eye, Chara... let me see your sins," Sans said, Chara shivering, but listening as she stared into Sans's eyes and she then clutched her head as I saw the sins for myself... and what did I see? Horrifying stuff.
Chara tried to kill herself when she fell down to the Underground, but was found by Asriel... but when she said she accidentally added buttercups to the pie? She did it ON PURPOSE after relaying the plan to Asriel! And then, it showed her possessing the body of another kid, most likely Frisk, and then killing every single monster they came across, including Papyrus, Toriel, Undyne, Asgore, Flowey, and even brutally injuring Sans! And then, after all that, when Frisk refused to kill the world, Chara gained Gaster's eyes and attacked Frisk while laughing just like Gaster, which not only killed Frisk, but also reset the entire timeline at the same time... and it happened over and over again, but I could see that Chara, the entire time from getting resurrected, was a completely unwilling participant, as Gaster was forcing her to do those horrid actions!
"Hmm..." Sans said as he retracted his blue eye and he gained his regular eyes once more, Chara falling to her knees and shivering with tears dropping from her face. "it is just as i suspected. gaster was the one calling all the shots, you being resurrected and possessed constantly to kill and kill and kill again without wanting to... your only sins are the ones that happened before your first death. you, yourself, are fine..." Sans said as Chara then simply turned back into a soul form and entered Norma again, her being concerned as I then heard Chara sobbing in fear and sadness, as did Norma.
"Chara..." I said, her sniffling a large booger inside of Norma.
"Just... leave me be for now... I need to stay quiet for a bit... I'm just... I'm not sad... not mad... not afraid... just... so relieved... it's all fucking over... I'm so happy..." Chara said, me looking at Sans with a smile and him smiling at me.
"Thanks, Sans. Really, sincerely, thanks," I smiled.
"ah, i didn't do much, honestly," Sans said.
"Well, if you didn't invite us here, we probably never would've defeated Gaster," I smiled.
"and if you hadn't merged with that muffet girl, you'd never have been able to trap gaster so easily," Sans smiled.
"Okay... now for the finale. To finally get to the end of the road. But first, we'll need to go visit the nearby shops... and before we go meet up with Mettaton, I think we should get some rest... after all that, we deserve a small break," I smiled.
"That's... a good idea... yeah..." Mew Mew said as we then went over to the east, but not before Sans stopped us.
"here, have some cash. it costs 200 per person to have a night in this hotel, and you could use some extra funds to buy some more equipment," Sans said as he then gave us 2 thousand gold, me smiling at him.
"Thanks, Sans," I smiled at him.
"hey, i'm rootin' for ya, kid," Sans smiled at me.
