I'm Baaack. See AN at bottom for important update info.

I don't own Undertale.

AN: In this fic, the bedrooms in Toriels house are on an upstairs level, the stairs to said level take the place of the hallway to the bedrooms. The layout of her house in-game doesn't make sense to me.

Hours later, Chara was laying in bed, trying to sort through the crazy day and revelations that they had. Being thrown into a new timeline would do that to someone. The differences in people only scratched the surface, they had also heard of the RESETs and the fact that they had enough Determination to hitchhike on someone else's power! The fact compounded by how strong said someone actually was.

Their power actually disturbed them a bit, they could control the amount of damage inflicted by the beams the blasters shoot. From disintegration level, like they used against the other Chara, to literally no damage at all, which was demonstrated on Chara, just to be safe. Thinking back on it, Chara wondered why Fisk used their soul to power the blaster instead of magic?

Eh, they'll ask tomorrow.

Their thoughts finally at rest, Chara allowed themselves to finally sleep. Tomorrow would be an interesting day.

Chara woke up with a small moment of disorientation. They sat up and looked around the room in confusion before their memories of yesterday caught up with them, and allowed them to mentally reorient themselves.

'Okay,' Chara thought to themselves, 'You are in a different timeline to your own, and things are probably only going to get stranger from here on out."

Chara smiled to themselves before speaking out to their empty room, "I always did like a challenge."

The timeline-displaced human grabbed their green coat as they began to walk towards the dining room. The coat was in major need of repairs from their fight against their darker counterpart, which they were determined to get done. They liked their coat dammit.

Although, they were curious as to why their coat didn't get repaired when they entered the timeline, especially since all their wounds disappeared. When Chara walked into the dining room, they placed their torn coat across the back of their chair before sitting down, the thought of asking Toriel to repair it running through their mind.

Chara quickly struck up a conversation with Frisk, who was sitting across from them. They spoke about random topics before broaching what was on their mind. "Frisk, why do you use your soul to power your Blasters?"

Seeing Frisks confusion they decided to elaborate, "Why don't you use magic to power the blasters?"

"Humans can't use magic," Frisk stated, "Their, our, souls aren't capable of it."

Chara looked at Frisk in confusion, "What do you mean by that," they asked, "It may not be easy to start with, but it is possible for humans to access magic. After all, you've seen my knives haven't you."

Frisk furrows their brow in thought at that as Chara conjures one of their knives to drive their point home. Frisk noticed that Charas eyes flashed as they did so, which when Frisk questioned them, caused them to smirk in amusement.

"You didn't honestly think my eyes were naturally red, did you?" seeing Frisk blush they laughed, "My eye colour changed because I'm using my magic near constantly, most human mages would only get a colour change while they used their magic." Chara allowed their magic to die down for the first time in years to show Frisk what they meant, as their eyes slowly bled from a cimson red to a deep amber colour, then back as they brought their magic back to the fore, running it through their body to keep it at the ready and to slightly strengthen themself.

Their conversation was put on hold by Toriel, who came in with breakfast at that very moment. After they finished with their food, Frisk spoke up again. "Can you teach me how to use magic?" Frisk asked.

"Of course," Chara said, "We can even start now, if you want."

At Frisks nod Chara stood up and directed them towards the front of the house, alerting Toriel, who was mending Charas coat, as to their plans. The motherly goat smiled at her two children as they walked out the door.

"The first step to using magic, is the hardest," Chara told their attentive pupil, "In order to use magic, you need to learn how to run your souls energy throughout your entire body."

Frisk nodded at Chara, determintion shining in their hazel eyes, as the first fallen child continued, "The first step to doing this is the easiest, first you need to feel your soul, without manifesting it outside your body."

Frisks eyes widened in shock for a moment before they sat down and closed their eyes to attempt this. when their first attempt ended in faliure after about ten seconds, Chara sat too, well aware that this would take a while. Though, once past this stage things would move faster. Despite being the easiest part of this, the first step was also the longest, once you passed that step things started to move faster, but they became more straining.

After half an hour, Frisk seemed to be getting closer to success, the gaps between their soul manifesting was growing larger. Chara was conversing with Toriel, coat repaired, about the details of this timeline that Frisk didn't know when Frisk finally figured out how to touch their soul. Their joyous reaction made Chara jump, resulting in the teen falling from the chair that Toriel brought out with her.

"I did it!" Frisk cried out, as Chara picked themselves up from the ground, "So what is the next step?"

Chara gives Frisk a short glare before they sigh and decide that it isn't worth the trouble to stay annoyed at their student. "The next step," Chara said, "is difficult, but knowing you, it won't take overly long."

Chara looked at Frisk for a moment to make sure they were listening before speaking. "The second step involves making the energy from your soul flow throughout your body, in order to do that you need to imagine your soul filling your body, and don't let that image go until you can feel the energy."

Chara hadn't expected this to take long at all, but they were still surprised when not even five minutes later, Frisk opened their eyes from their concentration with their hazel eyes having turned a bright, scarlet, red.

Chara clappedd their hands at Frisks success. Frisks eyes flickered before returning to a solid red. "Last step," Chara said, "is picturing that energy that you feel, going from inside your body to the outside."

Frisk quickly manifested one of their blasters to test their skill, as the magical energy, not their soul, began to form in the blasters mouth, frisk remembered something Sans told them about his KARMA trick once.

-Flashback-

"in order for KARMA to work, i focus on my opponent, and then i imagine attacking through their sins, the higher their LOVE, the more sins the karma has to burn through.

"What if you don't know if they have commited any sins, or gained any LOVE?"

"then i simply imagine testing their sins, testing to see what kind of person they really are."

-Flashback End-

Frisk went through the steps that sans had described about using KARMA, and they saw the light in the blasters mouth turn to a purple-tinged red from the scarlet it was a moment ago. Chara saw this change, and they also saw something Frisk did not. As the colour of energy changed, Frisks left eye turned from red, to a bright blue colour.

"Frisk!" Chara called out. This turned out to be a mistake, as the startled human quickly turned towards them with the energy blast being fired out due to a loss of concentration. Chara dodged most of the energy, however even the small amount of energy that hit them burned. The energy felt like a poison, it was attacking their soul, and it was far more painful than it should have been. Especially since the blast itself didn't do any more than graze them.

As Chara recovered from the pain they saw Frisk panicking and looking guilty. "Stop looking guilty," Chara said to the panicking human, "I should have realised not to startle someone who was charging a laser."

Their voice was slightly croaking from the pain they had gone through but they quickly got to their feet. "What was that anyway, Frisk?"

"It was something Sans told me about," Frisk said, "KARMA, but why did it affect you?"

Chara knew about KARMA, it was something the king in their timeline was able to use. They also knew why they were affected by it. "I'm a misanthrope, Frisk," Chara said, "I have a decent amount of LOVE because I hate humanity, they could disappear and I wouldn't bat an eye."

After the brief awkward silence that ensued, the two humans experimented with Frisks magic, other than the blasters and KARMA Frisk also had access to some gravity magic. Shortly afterwards, Frisk let their magic fade as the two of them went back inside. Chara and Frisk both enjoyed being around Toriel, but they both knew that this time of happiness would soon end. If they wanted to free the monsters, they would have to leave soon.

Frisk is even stronger now! I have another ability that Frisk will gain access to MUCH later on as well, but it will be less powerful than the KARMA. KARMA is also nearly useless against most monsters, so it isn't as powerful of an ability as it looks.

There is also no way you can convince me that even as a child, regardless of version, Chara was LOVEless. It is stated that Chara hates humans, and there is no way that much hatred didn't have an effect on their LOVE.

So, I hope you enjoyed my fics version of human magic. If I made any visible mistakes, let me know.

Important Note: I am currently in college so updates for all stories may become even MORE sporadic than they already are, I have been unable to create as many backup chapters as I would like, so I will still be working on those, however the normal updates shall be returning, next Update will be Generation STRQ most likely, unless i miraculously make a bunch more backup chapters.

Read and Review.
