A/N: Edited and changed up the first chapter to make it fit with the rest of the story

Stepping through the entrance of Asgore's castle, we were met by a long hallway with a golden tint to everything. Huge pillars held up the ceiling.

"The Last Corridor..."Chara revealed the name of this place as we "saved" before trudging forward down the hallway.

*Chara

Lv 119

The Last Corridor

"heya." The skeleton in the blue coat, Sans, stood in our path, hands in his pocket. Wordlessly, we stared at him, glaring at him as we prepared to draw the Real Knife.

He looked...apprehensive at us.

"you've been busy, huh?" He continued in his usual lazy manner of speaking, the lights of his eyesockets staring the dirty and dusty state our clothes were in.

"He doesn't look that much different from the rest. We can cut him down like the others." We snorted, gripping th edge of our knife.

"Don't underestimate our opponents, Frisk. We might be powerful, but the Comedian always has a trick up his sleeve." Chara warned beside us.

"so, i got a question for ya." Sans mused, his gaze never leaving us. "do you think that even the worst person can change...? that everyone can be a good person, if they just try?"

Chara was strangely silent at that. Our eyes glowed red with determination

We took a step towards the Comedian.

"heh heh heh heh..." The skeleton laughed darkly, closing his eyes with a sigh, his hands still in his pockets. "all right." He shook his head with a sigh. "well, here's a better question."

The air around Sans seemed to feel heavier and he opened his eyes, revealing two black empty voids where his eyes should be.

We've seen this bit several times now.

"do you think you're above consequences?"

We flinched, clutching our knife, our Determination causing the blade to glow red.

That was new...

"'cause if you think playing with lives is funny, buddy, i got news for ya. that stops here and now."

What a bold statement. We shall rise to the challenge, Comedian.

"You want to try out some of that new magic we gained from our last timeline?" Chara asked, flashing a smirk at us.

"Not right now. We want to keep it as a surprise or last resort, should we need it." We replied.

Chara nodded, and we took another step forward towards Sans.

The Comedian sighed again, shaking his head in disappointment.

"welp. sorry, old lady. this is why i never make promises."

Sans took cracked his neck, opening his eyes to face us, the ever present grin on his face.

"it's a beautiful day outside." Sans said calmly, take a step forward. "birds are singing, flowers are blooming."

"on days like these, kids like you..." Sans took his hand out of his pocket, the lights of his eyes going out once again.

"...should be burning in hell." With a swipe of his hand, our red Soul changed to blue and we were flung down towards the ground, smashing violently into the golden tiled floor.

"Frisk, jump!" Chara shouted to me and I lept up, just as a row of bones jutted up from the ground underneath us. Several Gaster Blasters appeared around us, firing their huge lasers.

"huh, always wondered why people never use their strongest attack first." Sans mused just in time to sidestep a slash from our knife, grinning at us the whole time. I give him a dirty scowl once I recover from our miss.

"what? you think i'm just going stand there and take it?" The Comedian lets out a rattling laugh as more bones jet up, smashing into my gut, causing me to double over in pain.

"You alright, Partner?" Chara asked, but before I could respond, more Gaster Blasters fired on us, forcing me to dive roll out of their path.

It appears this will be the same as the other timelines. There will be no problems.

Pointing our glowing knife at The Comedian, we darted forward.

"all i know is...seeing what's coming next..." More bones jutted up beneath us, we dodged to the side, slashing the bones in half and continuing our advance. "i can't afford not to care anymore." Sans shrugged, sidestepping our slash.

"ugh... that being said..." Sans stopped attacking, the two of us clearly out of breath. "you, uh, like to swing that thing around. huh." The Comedian sighed, putting his hands in his pocket and closed his eyes, returning to his usual lax state.

"listen. i know you didn't answer me before. but...somewhere in there, i can feel it." Sans took a step forward, a small light of hope in his eye sockets. "there's a glimmer of a good person inside of you. the memory of someone who wants to do the right thing. someone who, in another life, could be considered as, i dunno...a friend? i can tell you that i truly believe that no one is pure evil, nor is anyone purely good. so c'mon buddy, if you're listening, let's forget all this, ok?" The Comedian held out his arms in the form of a hug, looking hopeful. "just lay down your weapon and well...my job would be a lot easier."

This nonsense again?

We snorted and crouched to strike the skeleton.

"We're getting ready to attack, Chara." We mentally told our partner, tightening the grip of our knife.

"Wait a second, Frisk. To tell you the truth, killing the same people over and over again is starting lose it's interest. After consuming five entire timelines, I'm kinda curious about how the other path looks. After giving me your soul, what's left you have to lose?" Chara confessed to us with a sigh. "For once, let's spare him too. We'll reset and try the other path."

...Whatever you say, partner. For you, Chara, we'll toss aside everything we've worked for, and throw away all our progress.

"...Fine. I'll give." We spoke up for the first time during our fight, placing the knife down to the floor. "Although, from the other timelines, I know what happens next, I'll stop fighting." I braced myself, knowing what he's going to do.

"...so, you're sparing me? finally. buddy. pal. i know that it must be hard to make that choice. to go back on everything you two have worked for. i want you to know, i won't let it go to waste." Sans chuckled softly, still holding his arms out to us.

"How long did you know she was with me?" I asked Sans, prolonging his mercy kill.

"buddy, no normal human has the kind of reflexes you have. i might not know how, but i know you're not alone in there. and believe me, seeing you two work together is a lot scarier than just one of you fighting me. i couldn't even manage to kill you once." Sans explained, his grin widening as the light of his eyes vanished.

"with that said, i want you two to reset. if i find out you two gained a single point of EXP, the next time we fight, this battle will look like mere child's play in comparison." I felt a shiver go down my back as I watch those empty eye sockets burn holes into my very being.

"now," Sans' right eye gave off a blue glow and we felt our body rise up off the ground. Higher and higher we rose. "geeettttttt dunked on!" The Comedian dropped his hand and I felt our body get flung downwards as a huge bone rose out from the ground. "i'll see you in the next timeline, kid. try not to kill anyone this time."

The last thing I can remember is getting impaled onto the bone and feeling our soul shatter.

"Guess it's time to show some mercy now, Partner." Chara chuckled inside our mind before our vision blackened.
