The memories flowed into his mind all at once.

Toriel being cut down

Death

Papyrus's head being knocked off

Undyne melting

Make it stop.

Suffering

Mettaton being blown to bits

Sans being cut open

PAIN

Frisk dying, over, and over again.

I don't want to see this!

Nemo felt trapped. Trapped within the confines of his own mind as he was forced to rewatch everyone's deaths. Chara forced the memories of their genocide into his mind. And now, all he could feel was P.A.I.N.

But maybe… he could turn that P.A.I.N into power.

Chara stood up, satisfied with their work. Nemo laid there on the ground, his eyes rolled back into his head, and he was now completely unresponsive. They turned their back to him and ressummoned the ERASE and Do Not buttons. "It's time Frisk. Let's ERASE this pointless world and move on to the next."

"Chara." They heard a voice behind them say, no, growl. Chara's head whipped around as they looked to see that Nemo was standing up again, his eyes closed, the cut under his eye had healed and left a pitch black scar.

"What!?" They cried. "How are you standing back up!?"

"I am giving you one chance. Let Frisk go, or I am going to give you a bad time." He said in a forcibly calm voice.

Chara's shock turned to amusement as they let out a laugh. "You!? Please! Even that smiling trash bag is a better fighter than you! I'd like to see you try!"

"Fine then." Said Nemo as he took a deep breath and let it out. "It's a miserable day outside. Underground's empty, my friends are dead. On days like this, freaks like us…" He then opened his eyes. Chara's eyes widened in shock at the sight of his right eye. It had been replaced by a new one, one with a black sclera and a white iris. At the same time, his hair turned pitch black. "Should be burning in hell!" Nemo aimed the palm of his right hand at Chara, and a stream of white fire rocketed at them. Too shocked to react in time, the flames struck Chara, launching them backwards. They landed on their back and rolled before looking back at Nemo. They decided to use Check on him.

'Nemo

Lv: 25

ATK: ?

DEF: ?

He's now made of L.O.V.E, and he's stronger than you'

Nemo then crouched down and dragged the tips of the fingers of his left hand across the ground before swiping his arm in Chara's direction. A mass of bones erupted from the ground and flew at Chara. Chara moved quickly, jumping through the air and dodging the bones. Nemo reared his right arm back and threw a punch in Chara's direction. White flames shot from his fist and flew straight at them. They spun in the air, dodging the attack and landing on the ground. Then Chara gave them a maniacal grin. "This might be fun after all!" They shouted gleefully. They then equipped both the gloves and shoes and summoned both their knives into each hand before charging at him. As they charged, the real knife began to glow bright red and extend. They swung the blade at him, creating a massive sword beam attack. Nemo formed an X with his arms, causing bones to burst from the ground, creating a wall to block the attack. The wall crumbled under the force of the attack, but it did its job of protecting him. Chara burst through the remains of the wall and tried to stab him. Nemo evaded to the side and threw more fire at them.

Chara summoned the frying pan in front of them, blocking the flames before hitting the ground and rolling. They then summoned the notebook and gun, making them fire bullets and words at him. Nemo aimed a hand at the incoming projectiles, and spears burst from the ground, meeting and destroying the incoming attack. Chara tried to cut him again, and when that failed, they swung their leg and tried to kick him. Nemo brought his own leg up and blocked, then before Chara could react, he used that leg to kick them in the mouth and sent them into the air. While they were in the air, Nemo aimed his right hand at them and fired a burst of energy at them. It struck and knocked them out of the sky. They weren't done yet though, as they hit the ground running and charged at him. They slashed their knives at him again. This time Nemo responded by summoning a trident into his hands. He blocked the knives and spun his weapon around before stabbing at them with it. Chara reacted by using a word fired from the book to deflect the trident so that it would only graze them. Nemo abandoned the trident, opting to punch them in the mouth. Chara returned that punch with one of their own.

The duo began exchanging punches and kicks. Eventually Nemo landed a solid punch in their stomach that knocked the wind out of Chara before he blasted them into the air with a burst of fire. He then summoned two of Sans's blasters and fired at Chara. Chara responded by spinning mid air and avoiding the blasts. They landed on the ground and charged at Nemo, who fired energy blasts from his right hand. Chara switched to the frying pan. They deflected two blasts into different directions before rebounding the third shot straight at Nemo, who stopped the attack by summoning spears from the ground and blocking it.

"You still haven't answered my question Chara." Said Nemo, who was starting to feel the strain of using his new powers.

"Oh?" Asked Chara. "And what question is that?"

"Why did you do this?" He asked. "What made you want to kill everyone."

Chara frowned as they looked at the ground, their hair casting a shadow over their eyes. "Because they betrayed me…" They said.

"What?" Asked Nemo.

"I SAID THEY BETRAYED ME!" They screamed at him. "MONSTERS! THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN THIS! BETTER THAN HUMANS! I DIED SO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A FUTURE! And… and… I come back… TO THIS!" They then brought their knife back out and raised it up, which glowed a bright red and started launching a barrage of red magic slash attacks. Nemo reacted quickly by creating a bone wall, which was quickly obliterated and began to crumble. Chara broke through the remains or the wall, expecting to find Nemo so they could cut him down, but all they found was a cloud of dust from the remains of his magic.

"I'm up here!" He shouted as he summoned three blasters and fired at Chara. They leapt into the air between the blasts and punched Nemo in the stomach, who coughed as the wind left his lungs. Chara then grabbed him as the duo began to fall, and made it so he was beneath them before stomping him into the ground. Nemo growled as he grabbed their ankles before bringing his legs up and wrapping them around their midsection. He then used all four limbs to pull them off of him and slam them into the ground. He then got up and pressed his knee into their stomach and pressed them into the ground while using a hand to grab their throat. "I am giving you one last chance Chara. Reset now and give Frisk their body back, or I will end you!" He threatened.

Chara smirked before changing their appearance back to Frisk's. "N-Nemo! Please don't kill me!" They cried in Frisk's voice. This caused Nemo to freeze long enough to give Chara an opening. Next thing he knew there was a toy knife in his chest. Chara then brought out the frying pan and smacked him in the side of his head with enough force to launch him off of them.

Nemo coughed as he pulled the toy knife out of his chest and threw it to the side.

"Cheap trick…" He growled.

"I would advise against killing me…" Said Chara as they changed back to their true appearance. "After all, that would make the timeline revert back to before you got your powers, and you wouldn't want that, would you?" Then they changed back to Frisk's appearance and stuck out their tongue at him. "And besides, I doubt you're even truly capable of killing me so long as I'm in Frisk's body, since that would mean killing Frisk too."

Nemo grit his teeth and growled. "You little…" He said with a glare. Then he got an idea. "So, if I get you to leave Frisk's body, then I'll be able to end you, is that so?"

This made Chara laugh. "Ha! And how do you plan to make me do that?!" They asked mockingly.

"One step at a time." Said Nemo as he cracked his knuckles. Suddenly more magic bullets and physical words were flying at him. He sidestepped the bullets and when the words reached him, he ignited his fists and obliterated them as they reached him in a flurry of punches. He then summoned a giant fireball in both hands and hurled it at Chara. They deflected it with the frying pan, which Nemo planned for, as bones shot from the ground in front of Chara and knocked them back. He summoned a trident and charged at them. Chara used a combination of their knife and pan to block his attacks before switching to the gun and trying to shoot him point blank. He sidestepped and smacked them to the side with his weapon. "What did you mean when you said that you died so that they'd have a future?" He asked as he rested the trident on his shoulder.

Chara stood up and twisted their head to the side, causing their neck to crack. "You heard the story from those monsters. Asriel absorbed my soul and went to the surface, but not for the reason that everyone thought." They said calmly. "Asriel wasn't taking me to see the flowers, we were going to kill six of the humans and take their souls so we could break the barrier." Nemo wasn't expecting that, but in a way it made sense. "But… Asriel wasn't able to follow through. He couldn't kill those humans… not even as he was being torn apart. He wound up dying for nothing. And now the monsters have become just as bad as the humans."

"You really hate humans huh?" Asked Nemo. He may not have any personal memories, but he has plenty of memories of atrocities that humans had committed throughout history. "Can't say I blame you…"

"See, you realize that humanity deserves to die! And the monsters have proven that they're no better! So help me end this world!" Said Chara.

"Even so." Said Nemo. "Neither of us have any right to decide that this world deserves to die. Maybe we do deserve it, but I won't just lie down and let you destroy everything."

Chara was silent for a moment. "You…" They said as they gripped their knife. "ARE A DAMN FOOL!" They sliced at Nemo, causing a red energy slash to fly at him. Nemo held the trident in front of him. It stopped the attack, but the weapon broke in half. Chara then summoned more words that came flying at him. Nemo responded by summoning two blasters that shot the words out of the sky before they could reach him. He then summoned bones from the ground that knocked the notebook away from Chara. Then they were suddenly in front of him as they tried to punch and kick him. Nemo blocked with a bone before doing a sweeping kick to take Chara off of their feet. As they were falling, Nemo blasted them away with fire. Chara flew and hit the ground before rolling. Nemo didn't let up as he chased after them. He was stopped though as a flying frying pan hit him square in the face. He growled as he grabbed it and threw it to the side.

"Alright…" Said Nemo as he narrowed his eyes at Chara, who was standing up. "Let's finish this, I'm getting tired of this fight."

Chara looked at him for a moment before letting out a chuckle. "You sure? Because judging by that smile of yours, I think you're enjoying this." They said with an evil smile.

Nemo's eyes widened as he reached up and touched his mouth, discovering that he was grinning. "Huh?" He asked in confusion.

"Guess that L.O.V.E is having an effect on you. You're enjoying fighting now. And next, you'll enjoy killing. Because that's what a human does." Said Chara. "They kill."
