Chapter 34: King Ifrit

Well this was just perfect...

Here you were, new world deciding it's be fun to explore and now...there was this world's Sans holding his hand out and his blasters around you, "w-who are you?" he asked you admitted it wasn't nice to just barge in and scream hello, but you were excited to explore this world "Y/N" you replied simply not moving and just staying relaxed...you didn't want to die today...though you were sure if you were in trouble Reaper would save you.

"...How did you get through the barrier?" Sans asked causing you to turn...strange...the portal wasn't there..."WHERE IS THE PORTAL!" you screamed starting to worry, you can't just make a quick escape now..."portal?" Sans asked causing you to pause "uh yes, this may sound...weird...but I come from an alternate...reality, where your not real" you said with a smile.

And maybe THAT'S the reason you were locked in a bedroom...not that there was anything wrong with that...but...well, how long will it be...until he decides to kill you?

Knock Knock...you groaned as you opened your eyes, you must have fallen asleep...you heard the door open as Sans came in "good morning" he said, you noticed he held a plate of...spaghetti?
"Morning..." you said "I...uh made breakfast..." Sans said quickly handing you the plate, you were hit with the smell of tomato sauce and noodles...well it smelled good..."thanks...but I have to ask...why spaghetti?" you asked, Sans didn't reply back...okay this one was...strange.

You began to eat the delicious food...MMM SO GOOD!
You noticed Sans just continued staring "uh...you know it's rude to stare at someone who is eating" you said causing Sans to blush slightly, "ah s-sorry I'll go" he said "don't go...we can talk" you begged.
Sans stopped and sighed as he sat down on a chair in the room, "so...what should I call you?" you asked yourself, "I'm Sans" he replied thinking the question was for him, you began to laugh "no, no...haha, listen...there is like...god knows how many different versions of you in these alternate universes, I can't call you Sans because the original is called Sans, I give each one a nickname" you explained.

Sans just stared looking confused "...yeah..." he said as you hummed in thought "well...judging from the attire and the crown, you are most likely a king in this alternate universe, and this one is called StoryShift so...hmm...how about Ifrit?" you asked, Ifrit shrugged "uh...sure..." he said just seeming very confused causing you to smile.

You continued eating the spaghetti, then you heard someone knocking on the door, before Sans could answer it they just let themselves in "heya King Sa-" the human started before pausing at the sight of you.

Strange...this didn't look like Frisk, then again alternate universes..."hello Chara" Ifrit greeted which made you more confused, this human had a different name...but kind of looked like Frisk...were they a twin of Frisk or something?
"I see you already have the last human soul" Chara said with a small smile, your eyes widened...fuck was he going to take your soul "no no no" you quickly said shaking your hands, "you can't use MY soul" you declared "why not?" Chara asked giving you a harsh glare "because I don't come from this universe...I-I mean, I come from a world where people will get curious if I go 'missing'" you explained starting to panic.

"Chara stop scaring the human" Ifrit said as Chara sighed "listen...a child just came out of the ruins, no LV and no EXP" they said, "what about this human?" Ifrit asked, Chara stared at you...

"She doesn't have any LV or EXP either" Chara said sighing, "then continue watching the child...they still have a chance to kill if they wish" Ifrit said causing Chara to almost growl "yes sir..." they said quickly leaving, "what's wrong with them?" you asked, "Chara is a judge, they have a good sense on if you have killed or hurt anyone" Ifrit replied, you stared a little confused but sighed "as long as I am not being killed I'll be fine" you replied relieved.
Ifrit gave a kind smile, "well...uh...if you need to get home...then, I can take you to Asgore" he said you blinked "who's Asgore?" you asked as you followed Sans out, "he's my royal scientist, he may be able to help you with your portal problem" Ifrit replied.

Ifrit led you to an elevator then paused...he forgot about the other monsters "why don't we take a shortcut?" he asked grabbing your hand and instantly you felt a rush as you noticed that you were in front of a lab...right teleportation, Ifrit walked to the door which opened automatically and you followed after him "hello the-" the big goat monster started to say before pausing at the sight of you.
"Hey Asgore, this is Y/N she is a friend...apparently she comes from this alternate world" Ifrit said Asgore stared "hmm really, well...that is a possibility..." he replied as he picked up some papers, "there are many theories surrounding multiple realities or timelines..." he continued before looking to you, "miss Y/N if possible can I do a scan of your soul?" Asgore asked.

You stared a little worried...ever since those flashbacks about your father...science stuff was so much more scary, "it won't hurt...will it?" you asked as Asgore gave you the biggest smile "not at all young one" he replied, you gave a smile "sure" you said and followed Asgore to a machine "just step into here" he said.
You gave it a quick look before stepping in, you stood and waited as Asgore started the machine...nothing...you waited but Asgore seemed confused "hm...a soul should have shown up by now" he said checking the machine but finding no problems, "maybe because I'm from an alternate world it doesn't work?" you questioned.

Asgore nodded "most likely..." he replied, Ifrit seemed to stare concern in his eyes "oh yes...I found a strange reading coming from Snowdin" Asgore declared making you smile "that must be the portal" you said leaving the machine, Ifrit gave a small smile and led you out of the other set of doors, he then turned down a path.

"Hey Riverperson" Ifrit said as you stopped in your tracks, on the boat was another skeleton man...he had holes in his hands, a line running down one eye and up the other, he wore a blue robe...he looked...familiar...but why?
The Riverperson starting signing and making strange noises that you didn't understand...but Ifrit seemed to "this is a friendly human, she needs a lift to Snowdin" he said, you gave the Riverperson a kind smile as he started signing and making more noises "okay he's agreed to take you to Snowdin" Ifrit said.

"Thanks Ifrit, I'll tell Ink about you and he can explain alternate realities better" you said, Ifrit held out his hand and you giggled...you wanted to give him a hug or a kiss...but considering he's a king best to stick to handshakes so you shook his hand "it was nice to meet you Y/N...I hope that you will visit again" Ifrit said, "I will" you replied as you got in the boat and it started slowly moving you gave Ifrit one last wave before staring at the Riverperson.

"So...what's your name?" you asked a little nervous the Riverperson began signing and making those same noises you frowned "I can't understand you" you said, the Riverperson sighed as he began to sign and this time speak "Gaster...my name is Gaster" you smiled "it's nice to...meet you?" you said sounding confused "is something the matter?" Gaster asked "well...I know this sounds strange but have we met before?" you asked, Gaster shook his head "no..." he replied.

You sighed wondering why he was familiar...maybe you should tell Ink about it "how do you know Sans?" you asked, Gaster gave a chuckle "I'm his father" he replied making your eyes widen...actually...you had never spoken to the skeletons about their parents you always guessed that they were dead or...maybe they didn't want to talk about it "well it's nice to meet you..." you said with a smile.
"Do you have parents?" Gaster asked you nodded "yeah my mom is alive and well...my dad has...passed" you replied, Gaster frowned "I am sorry" he said "it's okay..." you replied as you thought back to your father...could this Gaster be related to..."Gaster when you were...young, did you have like a nickname growing up?" you asked, Gaster stared "yes...I was called Aster" he replied.

Finally it hit you, Dad's mystery friend...it was Gaster...or an alternate version of Gaster...but you couldn't remember meeting his friend, the memory must still be locked away.

Finally the boat stopped and you noticed a portal on land "ah there it is, thank you Gaster" you said with a smile getting off the boat and heading through the portal back to home sweet home.

I'M SO SORRY THIS IS LATE!

So I did a little change with Storyshift, I decided to make Gaster the Riverperson here as the Reader won't ever meet the one in Underswap.

Also I have good news and bad news.

Bad news is I am going to have to put this fanfic on a release of every two weeks, unless I get a second writer to help with non plot chapters.

Good news is, me and HeartOfGold have started working together on a comic series of this fanfic!

YAAAAAAY!

So how is this going to look well we are in the process of designs right now meaning no comics just yet.

HeartOfGold is doing the bulk of the work sketching it out, I plan basic stuff like setting, where people are meant to be and I also clean up HeartOfGold's work by digitilizing it.

Of course we are still interested in artist's mainly background artists, you don't have to be great or anything as long as you don't use a base and follow my basic plan you can help work on this.
