Asriel winced as he felt a surge of power go through him the moment he grabbed the red soul. He bit his tongue to not yell out in pain and alert his parents. He felt a powerful magic course through his veins as he absorbed his sibling's Soul. Memories began to flash through the young Boss monster's eyes, but not all of them were his own.
Asriel hunched over in pain as he felt his body begin to change with the magic. He felt his arms and his legs grow as he became visibly taller, growing taller than Toriel. He felt as though someone was beating his head like a drum as two long horns sprouted out of his head. His clothes changed as he morphed as well, his normal green and yellow sweater changing into a long robe similar to what Toriel wore. He still had his heart necklace around his neck, and the charm was over the top of his robes as he let out a breath.
Once he was sure the transformation was done, Asriel shakily stood up, adjusting to his new height. He looked over his newly transformed body and looked at Chara's body laying on their bed. "Six Souls," he said to himself before jumping back slightly. His voice had deepened as well. Once he got over the shock, he said to himself, "We just need to get six Souls."
As Asriel turned to leave the bedroom, he flinched again as he heard a voice in his head say, "Don't forget my body."
One of his paws flew to his forehead as Asriel whipped around to see where the voice came from. "Chara?" he asked, knowing that voice belonged to the now deceased human. "I thought you died."
"I did," Chara explained. "When you absorbed my Soul, I think we became one. Now come on, let's go change the world."
Asriel nodded and bent down to gingerly lift up Chara's body, not wanting to disturb the human. He cradled them close to his chest, finding it strange that he was now bigger than them. When he was still small, he had been less than an inch taller than the human, but now he towered over them. He felt a tear escape his eye and fall onto Chara's body, so he gently wiped it away with a finger.
"Don't be sentimental," Chara chastised from inside Asriel's mind. "This was how it had to be done. This is the only way you all can be free."
"I'm sorry Chara," Asriel said as he left the room. He began to walk towards the basement and Asgore's garden, near where the Barrier was, when he heard someone talking. Before he knew what happened, he felt his body jerk in a different direction than he meant to move as he darted into Toriel's study room.
"What the-" he asked before being quieted by the voice in his head.
"Quiet!" Chara exclaimed as Toriel and Asgore walked by. Asriel felt his body dart near a wall so they couldn't see him and he adopted a look of confusion on his face. "Huh," Chara remarked. "I can move your body, but not too much."
"Weird," Asriel muttered, making sure to keep his voice down.
He then heard the door to Toriel and Asgore's room close before Chara said, "Move." Asriel did as his sibling said and began to go down the stairs to the basement. "That was close," Chara said. "We can't let them see us. They'll stop us."
"But what about after this is done? After we get the Souls?"
"I'm sure Mr. King Dad and Mrs. Queen Mom will understand. It's for the greater good."
"Right, the greater good."
Before he knew it, Asriel was at the Barrier. He stared out at the wall that had kept monsters trapped Underground for years before taking a deep breath. "Let's go," he said as he walked through the Barrier. He felt his body tingle slightly as the magical seal allowed him to pass with Chara's body.
Once outside the mountain, Asriel yelled out and covered his eyes with the arm that wasn't carrying his sibling. "What is that bright thing?!" he exclaimed, shielding his eyes from the light.
"That's the Sun, Asriel," Chara commented. "You need to calm down."
"A-alright." Asriel uncovered his eyes and squinted slightly as he tried to get used to the natural light. Once he was sure he was used to the light, he said, "Alright, we're past the Barrier. What's next?"
"We are going to go to my village. It's just below the mountain. Once you're there, there will be a field of golden flowers. Place my body there."
"Alright, I can do that."
Asriel began the long trek down the mountain, though it did take less time than he anticipated. He figured that the longer legs probably helped him move a lot faster than he normally would have. Once at the bottom of the mountain, Chara began to tell him directions to their village.
Once at the border of the village, Chara said to Asriel, "The flowers are at the center of the town. Once there, we can take their Souls."
Asriel felt a sense of something wrong with the way Chara had said that and asked, "But we're only taking six, right?"
"Asriel, the humans are awful. You have seen my memories, I know you did when you absorbed my Soul. You saw what they did to me. They don't deserve to live!""Chara, this isn't right! We can't just kill them all!"
Chara made Asriel's body move forward and into the town as they continued to speak. "Asriel, look at all the harm the humans have caused! What they have done to your kind, to me! They don't deserve to live! They must be destroyed!"
Screams rang out from the human villagers as Asriel approached. Panicked footsteps could be heard as the large Boss Monster walked to the center of town. He heard them all scream at him, demanding him to leave. They all were unsure what to do as Asriel continued forward until he found the golden flower patch at the center of town.
Very carefully, while ignoring the screams of all of the humans, Asriel knelt down and set Chara's body down. Despite all that was happening, all of the humans screaming around him, Chara yelling in his head about the right thing to do, Asriel stared down at his sibling.
"I'm sorry it had to be this way Chara," he said as tears dripped down his face and onto the flowers.
Before Chara could say anything back, Asriel's head turned when they heard a strange sound. He looked behind him and saw a human man standing somewhat close to him aiming a strange looking metallic item at him. He heard the item click as the human aimed at him.
"I don't know what you are, or why you have the body of a child, but you better get out of here!" the human shouted.
"See?" Chara asked from Asriel's mind. "This is how all humans are. So quick to react and when they don't know what to think, they resort to violence. We need to show them the power of humans and monsters when they work together rather than fight each other!"
Asriel then felt a surge of magic go to his right hand as a glowing white sword appeared in his hand. "Chara, we can't…" Asriel said, feeling afraid. He had never felt his sibling be this angry before, but looking at this human, he could feel just how Chara truly thought about humans.
They wanted to kill them all.
"Yes we can! How else did you think we were going to get the Souls?!""But we don't need to kill them all!"
"Asriel, stop fighting me. I'm taking control now!"
Before he could react, Asriel could feel himself begin to lose control of his body as his body surged forward, the magical sword ready to pierce the human. "STAY BACK!" the human yelled, aiming the metal item at Asriel's chest.
"Chara, stop!" Asriel yelled, regaining control of his body and stopping mere inches in front of the human.
The human yelled out in fear as Chara said, "Asriel, you're being ridiculous! We need to act, now! If we don't-"
Chara didn't manage to get the sentence out as a bullet fired from the gun the human was holding and pierced through Asriel's chest.
