Asriel flinched as the bullet pierced through his chest, but remained standing. "Asriel, you have been shot!" Chara exclaimed as more humans gathered near the one who had shot Asriel. Asriel put a paw to where the bullet had hit him and felt dust begin to coat his hands.
"Asriel, you need to fight back!" Chara yelled, trying to summon the magical sword again. Asriel resisted and the sword never materialized, and Asriel could feel Chara grow more frustrated. "Asriel, you have enough power to level this town, but you need to fight back!"
"I won't!" Asriel yelled back, startling the other humans.
"That monster killed the child!" a human woman screamed from the crowd.
"It's evil!" another human yelled.
"Kill it!" a third human shouted. More gunshots rang out and the bullets pierced through Asriel, making the Boss Monster roar out in pain.
"Why won't it go down?!" the human who had shot first yelled as he fired again.
"Asriel, fight back!" Chara screamed. "If you don't, you'll die! Please, fight back!"
Asriel shook with pain as he could feel the desperation and anguish that Chara felt for him. "Chara, this isn't right," he said. "We never should have done this. Let's go home. You shouldn't be left here. You should be with us, where you were happy. Come on."
He then bent down into the flowers again, getting seeds stuck to his robes as he picked up his human sibling. The humans continued to shout and yell at him as Asriel stood yet again.
More gunshots were fired and Asriel looked at the humans that were shouting at him.
"Monster!"
"Heathen!"
"Kill it!"
"It killed that child!"
"It doesn't deserve to live!"
"Monster!"
"MONSTER!"
Despite all of the horrible words shouted at him, and the immense pain he felt from all of the bullets, Asriel smiled. He began to walk back towards the mountain, and Chara yelled in his head, "Where are you going?!"
"I'm taking us home Chara."
The more and more he walked, the weaker and weaker Asriel began to feel. As he walked up the mountain, he clutched his head, noticing that one of his horns had been shot off as well. He managed to get to the Barrier, stumbling through the magical shield with his sibling's body still in his hands. When he managed to get back to the garden in the throne room, he winced in pain and let out a sharp cry of pain. He then looked up as he heard voices yell out.
"Asriel?!" a familiar voice yelled as Asriel saw Toriel running towards him. Lacking any strength at all, Asriel dropped Chara's body and collapsed into the field of buttercups, struggling to breathe.
"Asriel, what happened?!" Toriel shrieked, clutching her son's body in her arms as he blinked wearily. He saw Asgore standing next to him as well, speechless as he looked first at Chara's body, then at his son.
"Mom, Dad," Asriel said weakly. "I'm sorry."
He rolled his head to the side, looking at his sibling one final time. "I'm so sorry," he said, his voice a bare whisper. As he closed his eyes one last time, he heard a voice in his head.
"Me too."
Happy Undertale anniversary guys! I wanted to get a chapter out for the 5th anniversary today, so here you go! Sorry for the short length of it, but I have plans for the next chapter, and after debating whether or not to make them into one super long chapter or split them into two chapters, I decided to split it.
