Chapter V - Sit Back, Relax, Sit Back, Relapse

~~Chara~~

"Yeah, I knew. Back then, a war was exactly what I wanted. Because that time, humanity would lose." I thought about the night that I presented the plan to Asriel, then the next morning when we followed through with it. Then… the next day it killed me. I'll always regret what I did that dark day.


"Chara, how much farther?" Asriel looked around. We could both feel ourselves getting tired, but I knew that Ebott City was close.

"We're almost there. Don't worry Azzy."

"Okay…" Asriel kept walking and I floated behind him as a specter made of my own determination.

"Here, look!" I saw the town standing there, maybe ten minutes away.

"Wow. I've… I've never seen a human town before. It looks… Beautiful!"

I kept telling him to move on. "Come on! You're nearly there!"

"Sorry, just...soaking in the moment, y' know?" Asriel continued forth toward my village. I was getting even more excited with each step. As soon as he got there, I planned to get my revenge on my father and brother. They will get what they deserved. I thought bitterly. I would do the same that Jackson, (my brother) did to me. As Asriel reached the town, screams rang out. "Asriel! Come on, just fight back!"

"I..." He stuttered, holding my broken body. A villager took a spear and jabbed it in his stomach.

Asriel looked up, surprised. I took the chance and tried to take control. I felt myself gain control of magic again. I summoned a wall of fireballs between Azzy and the humans in front of us attacking, but it suddenly disappeared. "Chara, you can't hurt them!"

I turned around to face Asriel and glared up at him. "What, do you want to just let these humans kill you?"

Asriel looked up and I saw a spark of determination in his eye, most likely from all the determination he got absorbing my soul. "I won't kill them, Chara. I'm sorry… but… I can't."

I stared up at Asriel, surprised. "You… okay. Then let them kill you. Just know, when you die, it wasn't my fault. It's your choice to show your stupid mercy." He looked destroyed, but I didn't really care. He deserves this.

I repeated to myself over and over.

"Chara…" Asriel stared at me in shock "are humans..really this bad?" I stared up the humans attacking us and nodded.

"Yeah. All of humanity. So just kill them." Asriel thought for a second, then just smiled.

"Guess they'd need someone to show them mercy, huh?" Asriel started to carry my broken body back to the Underground.

"Asriel! Go back! You are so close to freeing everyone!" Asriel ignored me. He just smiled and continued back towards home. He passed through the barrier and onto Dad's garden, "Mom...Dad..I'm fine..." Asriel started to fade into dust.


"Everything blacked out when Asriel turned to dust."

"So, you just blacked out?" I stared at Amber.

"Yes! That's what I JUST said! But what I mean by that is that it's like I was linked to his death." I thought for a moment. I started to feel again after Frisk helped me, right? Maybe we'd be able to help Asriel feel again, but this time… As a bit more permanent. Could he really be saved?


Thanks guys so much for reading! (Sorry the end of that chapter kinda sucked) As always, favorite, review, follow, and I'll see you next time. Sorry that it took me kinda long to put it out, I've slown down writing a bit, but I'll try to start writing more soon.
