Sans was shocked to say the least. "Another… human…? What, did you come to brag about your friend winning?" He asked tiredly. Nemo looked down and noticed the deep cut on his chest.

""Oh god… you're injured. Quick, we need to get you help!" Said Nemo frantically. Now Sans was just plain confused.

"Look kid, don't bother, I'm all out of hope, see?" He asked as he held up his hand, which was starting to disappear.

"No no no…" Said Nemo worriedly. "Sans, you have to hang in there!"

Sans chuckled. "I appreciate the thought kid, really… but I'm out of time, couldn't convince the kid to reset…" He said dejectedly.

This made Nemo pause. "You know about reset?" He asked.

Sans blinked in shock at realising what he'd revealed, but decided it didn't matter. "Yup." He said simply.

Nemo looked away for a moment and sighed. "Sans… I'm sorry that we couldn't do it in the last timeline, but this time I promise that I will make things right." He said.

Sans was quiet for a moment before chuckling as more of him faded away. "Don't worry about it kid… I gave up on that idea a long... time... ago…" He said as the light began to rapidly leave his eye sockets.

"Sans? Sans!" Cried Nemo when Sans went limp as the rest of his body vanished to dust, leaving behind only that blue jacket. Nemo stayed there for a moment, kneeling on the ground, surrounded by Sans's dust. He clenched his teeth as he tried to keep tears from falling. He then grabbed ahold of Sans's jacket and Papyrus's cape. First he put the jacket on, which admittedly was a little small, but not very, then he put the cape on. He then set his sights on the Judgement hall. He looked at it. It was a mess. There were numerous bones sticking out of the walls, floor, and ceiling. Pillars and windows were destroyed. The tiling was cracked in numerous places. "Sans must've been something else to do all this." Thought Nemo as he put his hands in the pockets of the jacket. He exited the hall and went to the throne room. That's when he heard the sound of Flowey's screaming. Nemo rushed ahead to see what it was.

He entered the throne room and stopped when he saw the sight before him. It was Frisk, and they were standing over the destroyed remains of a flower, just staring down at it. There was a knife glistening with blood in their right hand. Nemo inhaled sharply. "Frisk!" He shouted. This caused them to raise their head and turn to look at him. Blood red eyes met his pale blue ones. "Oh, you're still alive?" They asked calmly. Then they smiled evilly. "Gotta say, I LOVE the new accessories."

Nemo swallowed the lump in his throat. "Why? Why is everyone dead? Didn't we promise a happy ending?" He asked.

Frisk chuckled at this. "Why, you ask?" As they asked this, their body seemed to glitch and distort for a moment, causing Nemo to flinch. "Because these murderers lost their right to happiness."

"Pot meet kettle…" Said Nemo uneasily.

"You're one to talk, it's not like you aren't a killer yourself." Frisk glitched again as they said this.

"Frisk, you know that was only to prote-." Said Nemo.

"SHUT UP!" Screeched Frisk. This glitching was much worse than the last two. They stayed like that for a moment. When they finally collected themself, they looked different. Their clothes had become green, yellow, and brown and their skin was much paler, save for some strange eternal blush on their cheeks.

"Frisk?" Asked Nemo uncertainly.

"Frisk isn't here anymore." Said the human in front of him. "You can call me…" They gave him a terrifying smile as their voice distorted, "Chara…"

Nemo could have sworn he'd heard that name before. No, he'd read it before. "That was the name on the red coffin." He said.

"Yup!" They said. "I'm Chara Dreemurr! The adopted child of King Asgore and Queen Toriel."

"But, you've been dead for years! How are you here!?" Asked Nemo.

Chara smirked as they raised their knife into the air. "Survive this attack and I'll tell you." They said before swinging it at him.

Nemo was confused, there was no way they could hit him from here. Then as they swung their knife, a physical slash made of red magic came flying at him. "Woah!" He shouted as he jumped out of the way. He looked over his shoulder to see the slash hit a wall, leaving a giant slash in it. "How did you…?" He asked as he looked back at Chara.

"When your Level Of ViolencE reaches twenty, you pick up a few tricks." They said. "But more importantly, you wasted your question, so now…" Nemo didn't even see them switch weapons; it happened so fast, but the next thing he knew, they were pointing the gun at him.

"What the heck!?" He shouted as he jumped out of the way of their gunshots. After firing three shots at him, they stopped. "Alright, back to my first question: You died, how are you here? And why do you look like a kid still? And where's Frisk!?"
"Normally I'd be upset that you asked three questions instead of one, but since they can all be answered at once, I'll let it slide." They said. "I did die. I've been dead for years. And then Frisk fell. Their Determination was strong enough to wake me up. And then I possessed them. And if you want to know where Frisk is," Suddenly they were right in front of him, and was wearing the gloves. "You'll have to survive!"

They started throwing punches at him. He ducked backwards to avoid a few, then he held up his hand and tried to stop a punch. It didn't go as planned as they slammed him into a wall. Nemo coughed as he fell to the floor. "What a shame, you failed, guess that means I get to attack again." Said Chara as they switched to the ballet shoes. They charged and started throwing kicks at him. Nemo jumped back and started avoiding their kicks. They were fast too. But after a dozen or so swings at him, they decided to stop.

Nemo stood there panting for a second. "Why?" He asked. "Why are you doing this?!"
Chara was silent for a moment, before chuckling. "Sorry Nemo, if you want the answer to this question, you'll have to survive attacks more dangerous than that." They said.

"Oh shoo-!" Shouted Nemo as literal words were summoned and flew at him. He ducked out of the throne room and pressed his back against the wall right next to the entrance. He waited for Chara to walk through, then threw a punch at them, only for his fist to be stopped by a frying pan. "MOTHER FRGRLGR!" Shouted Nemo as he shook his aching hand.

"Nice try." Said Chara as they swung the frying pan at him. Nemo stepped back, avoiding getting hit. Chara adjusted their grip on the pan, making the open part face him before swinging it at him. As they did the pan summoned and launched a fireball at him. Nemo reacted quickly enough, bringing his arms up to shield his face. The flames struck his arms, singing the sleeves of Sans's jacket, and knocking Nemo onto his back. Chara switched to the ballet shoes and did a jump kick at him, but Nemo rolled to the side just before getting stomped. His eyes widened when the force of Chara's kick cracked the floor. Chara spun and kicked at him again, but Nemo was able to duck before punching Chara in the shin. They barely flinched before switching to the toy knife and stabbing at him. Nemo lost a few hairs ducking out of the way of that one. He then jumped at and tackled Chara to the ground. He tried to punch them, but they switched to the tough gloves and caught his punch. He tried punching them with his other hand, which was also caught. Nemo struggled against Chara for a moment before they headbutted him in the nose. Nemo stopped struggling to put his hands on his face, which Chara used to their advantage to punch him off of them and to the end of the hall. Nemo rubbed his jaw before looking at Chara, who pulled the gun back out and started shooting at him. Nemo let out a yelp before diving to his left, and going through the doorway into the Judgement hall.

Nemo then had to run as more words flew at him. He then adjusted his trajectory and ran straight towards Chara, He then raised his arm and threw a punch at them. They switched back to their frying pan to block, little did they know that that was Nemo's plan as he used his other arm to punch them in the stomach. Chara doubled over slightly before Nemo brought his knee into their stomach. Nemo then grabbed their throat. "Alright, game's over! Now tell me why you're doing this!?" He shouted.

"Because…" Choked Chara as their mouth formed a demented grin before switching to the gun and pointing it at the side of Nemo's head. "They deserve it!" Nemo dropped them and moved backwards just before they pulled the trigger. He then brought his foot up and kicked them in the jaw. Chara's head jerked to the side before spinning around and stabbing at him. Nemo jumped back, narrowly avoiding the blade, but he was so focused on the toy knife in their right hand, he didn't see the real knife in their left hand as it was being raised up. It wasn't until he saw it coming down at him from the corner of his eye until it was too late to dodge. And it was the last time his right eye saw anything.

Nemo screamed as he put a hand over his destroyed eye and fell to his knee, blood beginning to gush out of his face. Chara chuckled as they stood above him. They brought their foot up and kicked him to the ground. "Sorry Nemo." They said as they brought the knife up. "But this is game over for you."

Then the duo heard the sound of something charging up and being fired. Chara looked up just in time to see a laser strike them and knock them off of Nemo. The humans looked over to see the source of the attack. Nemo had to squint with his one good eye to get a good look at who it was. Then it widened in shock. "A… Alphys!?" He asked in shock. At the entrance to the hall, stood Alphys, who had a large metal dragon skull floating next to her.

"Well!" Said Chara. "This is a shocker! I thought you evacuated with everyone else!"

"I… I decided!" Said Alphys. "I'm not going to run away and let you destroy everything… I owe it to the people I've hurt." She said that last part with a very solemn expression.

"Alphys… don't…" Groaned Nemo as he kept a hand over his eye. "Run away! They're too strong!"

"I can't!" She shouted. "I can't…"

"It's too late for her to run anyway!" Shouted Chara as they charged at Alphys. Alphys tried to stop them, bringing out more metal skulls, which all started firing blasts at Chara, but they were able to avoid the attacks and close the distance between themself and Alphys.

"Alphys!" Shouted Nemo as he extended his hand to her. But it was pointless. Chara stopped directly in front of Alphys and swung their knife. Then there was only silence as neither of them moved. Then Alphys's head fell off as her body crumpled to the ground before fading to dust.

Nemo's hand dropped to his side as he felt his strength leave him. Then he heard something. He heard Chara's laughter. He looked and he saw that they were laughing. "Is… Is this funny to you!?" He demanded, causing them to stop and look at him. "Do you find murder to be funny!?"

Suddenly Chara was in front of him. Before Nemo could react, they kicked him in the face and sent him onto his back. Nemo tried to get up, but before he knew it, they were standing over him. They stomped on his left arm and then pressed their knee into his right, pinning him down and keeping him from moving.

"I don't know…" Said Chara as they grinned maliciously.

"What're you doing!?" Asked Nemo as he struggled they placed their hand on his face. "Hey! Stop it!"

"You tell me." Said Chara.

"STOP!" Cried Nemo as Chara began the uploading process.
