~Last time~
"I'll use your soul to cross the barrier!" He sent even more at Mabel who had no time to try dodge them all being cause by surprise by the sudden number threw her on her back. She felt weak, too weak to
"I'll stand in the window of a fancy store!" He sent what he assumed to be his final wave and having not gotten up from the last barrage of dummies she was hit on the spot.
~Now~
The dummies hit Mabel but when they did, she felt a warm glow around her body. The pain was suddenly gone. She opened her eyes slightly to see the green glow surrounding her, healing her wounds.
'Goat mom?' She thought. This warmth was similar to Toriel's but she couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
"I did it! I did it!" The Mad Dummy danced around waiting for Mabel's soul to leave her body not noticing her wounds were healed as if they never happened. "Now I just have to wait for her soul to come out then I'll escape through the barrier."
"Hey butt face!" Yelled Mabel standing again.
"What!? I saw you die how are you still here and why don't I have your soul!" The Mad Dummy was madder at this fact. Mad Dummy flew around more while screaming. "Feeble! Feeble! Feeble!" He yelled sending more dummies to attack her, but she figured out the pattern of them now. She grabbed a random cord from the pile of trash and wrapped it around the dummy and forcefully pulled him to the ground in front of her causing him to get hit.
"Gah!" He cried and tried to fly back up with the cord broken but Mabel was quick enough and grabbed him in time and held him tightly. Without even considering he could get hit again he had more dummies attack, but Mabel threw the Mad Dummy at them once again getting hit.
"Hey guys! Dummies. Dummies. DUMMIES! Remember how I said NOT to shoot at me? Well… FAILURES! YOU'RE FIRED! YOU'RE ALL BEING REPLACED! Hahahaha. Hahahaha. HAHAHA! Now you'll see my true power. Relying on people that aren't garbage!" He ranted as he had dummy bots that sent missiles at Mabel, she had to run in circles to get away from them. They were much faster now but she managed to have a few hit the wall while the rest hit her side sending her into the ground again. She hissed in pain cause of the blood flowing out of her wound. But she didn't cry.
Her and Dipper are used to this and if she wants to see Dipper again, she would have to keep on going forward. She put her right hand on her side which unexpectedly gave off a green glow closing the wound.
"I'm still alive you dummy!" She shouted at him making him both madder and even more confused. More dummy bots sent magic missiles at her but with some trouble she managed to dodge them. This annoys the Mad Dummy as he flies around the room.
"Dummy bots try again!" He ordered. This time they circle Mabel and fired their missiles having no time to dodge she got hit.
"Futile! Futile! Futile!" The Mad Dummy laughed watching Mabel get hit waiting for the smoke to clear. Once it did, he was shocked to see Mabel not only unharmed but had a green barrier around her.
"Hey it worked!" Mabel cheered as the barrier was lowered.
"Useless! Your all useless! Your even worse than the other guys! SO! GET OUT OF HERE!" Mad Dummy shouted as the Dummy bots left. "I got knifes!" This shocked Mabel a bit as he held his knife and threw it at Mabel who made a shield with her powers.
"I'm out of knifes. But that doesn't matter you can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you, so we'll be stuck here forever!" Mabel just stared at him. Rain started to come down on top of the Mad Dummy burning it. "Wha…what is this acid rain!? Forget it I'm out of here!" He left without a problem.
"Oh no I just wanted to say hi…..oh no." The Ghost said somberly then noticed Mabel. "Aren't you the one I saw Toriel carrying through the ruins?"
"I think so. Goat mom did say my head needed to heal." She took off the bandages on her head. "See?"
"Ummmm….no….i'm sorry." He vanished
~Dipper~
Dipper got up with a groan and looked around. He saw nothing but darkness. He walked around for a bit until something flashed in his head causing him to fall to the ground.
"Greeting." A voice said. Dipper looked around and saw a child around his age near him wearing the same green sweater he just stole.
"My name is Chara." Her face suddenly changed her eye sockets and mouth looked to be melting and black ooze was coming from them. Dipper took a step back as she appeared in front of him.
"Awww what's wrong." The eerie voice from the girl asked. Dipper threw a punch, but she appeared behind him. "I'm just taking my time to talk to you while your unconscious."
"What about?"
"Your soul. Your Determination. Do you even know what a Determination soul is capable of? Or what it is?"
"What?" Flowey had already explained to him and Mabel.
"For starters you soul is what woke me up I became aware of your actions when you killed my mom and took in your hate when you walked through that door."
"Your mom was that goat, wasn't she?"
"Correct. Toriel Dreemurr is my mom and Queen of the monsters." This shocked Dipper a bit he tried attacking again but Chara kicked him in the stomach and held a knife to his neck. "Second, Determination has the power to of Save and Load as well as Reset and True Reset."
"What's the difference between a Reset and True Reset?"
"A Reset risks the chance of someone remembering what you did like Azzy would remember. Or that skeleton Sans. Both will remember. In the case of a True Reset everyone's memory of what you did will not only be gone but you'll be sent back to let's go with the start. It could be the ruins or surface. Your pick really."
"So, I can basically hold the universe in my hands?"
"In a sense, I guess. You can control time." She responded
"But why me?"
"Because you were the one out of billions to be born with a Determination soul. That's right only one person with a Determination soul can exist at a time."
"And how do you know this?"
"Because mine was Determination as well."
"Tell me how I came back to life when I know I died once." Dipper demanded. "Flowey said I went back in time and the cave in never happened. But that didn't make sense."
"Of course, Asriel didn't tell you the specifics. That was Save and Load. It can bring you back to life to one of your previous check points all you have to do is want to live." She walked closer to him. "And lastly you can create weapons with your soul power. They are much more efficient than that spear and axe."
"That's right partner. And together we'll watch the whole world burn." She spoke in his ear and backed away with a smirk. Before Dipper could say another word, he felt his body waking up. "Until next time Mason."
Upon opening his eyes, he was freezing and could tell he's been out for awhile as he is now buried. He came out from the snow and walked over to the nearby bridge he saw. With his eyes looking forward he entered Snowdin now looking barren.
~Mabel~
Mabel met with that ghost again and found out his name was Napstablook. She found him quite funny, and they talked for a bit.
"Wait so your telling me that was my soul that healed me and made that shield!?" Mabel asked shocked
"Yes…I'm sorry." He replied
"For what this is amazing!" She jumped to hug Napstablook but fell through him and hit the floor. "Uhgff" She groaned and used her powers on her face.
"I'm sorry…..you can't hug me….I don't have a body..my cousin does and you can be friends with him." Napstablook suggested
"Having 2 ghosts friends would be awesome!" She cheered slightly surprising Napstablook.
"I think you should keep going towards MTT resort." Mabel got up and walked to the door.
"By Blooky!" She said running out of the house and back down the path. She was quickly distracted by a door in the wall.
"Doors don't go on walls silly." She decided to play around and open it. "No way." She walked in and looked around. It was so dark and there seemed to be no source of light. She came across a large room it seemed so lonely.
" ✡ 🕆 ." She jumped at hearing the voice. She didn't expect anyone to be hear she thought this place was just an abandoned room. "✌🏱 ✋ 💧 💧👍✌ ✋ ✡ 🕆." The figure made itself known. He was a skeleton like Papyrus and Sans but he had cracks on both his eyes one going up and one going down. His body seemed to be hidden in a cloak in her opinion. "💣✡ ✌💣 ✋💧 🕈✋ 👎✋ 💧 ✌💧❄ ." She looks at him confused for a moment unable to understand what he just said.
The skeleton noticed this quickly and spoke what he hoped she could understand.
"My name is Wingdings Gaster. Pleasure to meet you." He held out his hand for her to shake to which she did.
"My name is Mabel Pines." She said with her usual optimism.
"I know this is selfish to ask but may you keep me company for a while? I haven't seen anyone in years. To be honest I'm not really sure how many."
"Sure." She sat on the floor. Gaster was pleased by this and joined her. "But why don't you leave I'm sure Sans and Papyrus would love to meet another Skeleton."
"I wish I could. But I don't exist as you or they do. Since the accident I simply don't exist, and I can't leave here. I can only observe the outside world. Never to interact with them. Until today."
"That's so sad. Is there anyway to bring you back?" Gaster shook his head. "Well I'm sure you'll come back one day."
"Thank you." He replied. "Would you like something?"
"Huh?"
"I couldn't help but notice your soul is a green one. If you run into someone with the intent to kill you would have a hard time defending yourself."
"Well ok. But I don't want to hurt anyone." Mabel said. The thought of that made her feel uncomfortable.
"What they do is your choice. If you don't want to kill that's up to you." Gaster offered
"Well ok. What is it?" Gaster stood up and leaned over her and pressed a finger against her soul. She felt something immense and she couldn't describe it. "It's a special blaster no one has seen." He demonstrated by summoning several hands each with a different color core. "This is just a small part of what I gave you." He said as he made them vanish. Next a skull and 2 large hands. "The skull is known as the Gaster Blaster and the hands are larger versions of the hands I just showed.
"So, I can do that now?" He nodded
"And much more. Would you like me to teach you?" She nodded her head. Gaster smiled at this.
"Can you also teach me that weird language you spoke?"
"Of course."
First Gaster taught Mabel how to use basic magic that he infused with her soul. It ended up being basic bone magic and she learned quickly how to create normal and blue bones. Next summoning the hands this proved harder but after several attempts she got 4 of them to appear. She was told these were Justice, Perseverance, Integrity, and Kindness. She was glad to have made progress.
She slumps onto her butt. "This is hard." She whined
"Do you give up?" Gaster asked
"No. But can I rest for a bit I'm out of energy." Gaster complied as magic is very draining.
5 hours later Mabel tried again and managed to summon all of them. She then went onto the Gaster Blaster and managed to summon it now having a better hold on her new magic. Gaster told her that making the hands bigger would just take more magic and he was sure she could do it.
"This is amazing thank you!" She then realized something. "How long have I been in here? I hope Dipper hasn't passed by yet." She was going to run to the door but Gaster put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. When you leave the room, you will end up at the exact moment you entered." After hearing this Mabel sat back down and asked for him to teach that language. He complied.
~Dipper before Mabel met Gaster~
He walked into the shop and saw the must have fled or he already killed them. He shrugged and took all the gold in the register as well as some food then left.
"Yo dude!" Someone called out to him. Running to him was an armless reptile like monster. Dipper held his spear tightly.
"Yeah?"
The others already evacuated you coming?" Before Dipper could attack a bone was sent flying at him.
"Papyrus what's the big deal!?"
"Look at their hands MK they have killed countless monsters. So, I the Great Papyrus will put a stop to his transgressions!" MK saw Dipper's hand and they were covered in dust. MK stepped back in fear and tried to run but Dipper lunged at him only for a blue bone to stop him.
"MK run now." Papyrus sent bone at Dipper who smashed his spear into them destroying several, but Papyrus was much stronger and landed and faster. This ended up with Dipper missing several of them and having to protect his vitals with his soul power.
"What the hell? This guy is much stronger than the other monsters." Dipper said getting up and ran at Papyrus as he sent more bones flying at him to which Dipper ducked. Once Dipper got close, he prepared to thrust his spear at the skeleton but Papyrus summoned bones from the ground impaling Dipper's entire body killing him.
"Mason promise no matter what you'll always protect your sister."
He woke up in front of the inn before he ran into MK. He then took a look at the spear in his hands and threw it away the axe was better in his opinion. He decided to try to use his soul to create weapons like Papyrus did.
He did what Chara told him and created a sword. With this he could kill Papyrus.
He walked over where he was approached by MK again, he let it play out like last time and decided to kill the kid later as Papyrus was going to get in his way if he doesn't.
He ran at Papyrus swing the sword slashing at the bones and going straight for the head.
~Mabel~
Gaster had just finished teaching Mabel to speak in hands.
"💣✌👌 ✡ 🕆 ✌✞ 👎 ✞ ✡ 🕈 ❄ ✌ ❄ ✋💧 💣🕆👍 💧 ✈🕆✋👍😐 ✡📬." He said with a smile. (translation: MABEL YOU HAVE DONE VERY WELL TO LEARN THIS MUCH SO QUICKLY.)
"❄ ✌ 😐💧📬 👌🕆❄ 🕆💣📬📬📬✋ ❄ ✋ 😐 ✋ 💧 🕆 👎 🕈📬📬📬👌🕆❄ 👎 🕯❄ 🕈 ✡📬 ✡ 🕆🕯 👌 🕆❄ 💧 📬 ✋ 🏱 💣✋💧 📬." She scratched the back of her head. She has no idea how longs she's been there, but it's feels like it's been awhile since Gaster just took his time to teach her a whole language. (translation: THANKS. BUT UM...I THINK I SHOULD GO NOW...BUT DON'T WORRY. YOU'LL BE OUT OF HERE SOON. I PROMISE.)
"✋ 💧🕆🏱🏱 💧 ✡ 🕆 ✋ ❄📬 ✋ ✡ 👎 ✌✞✋ ✡ 🕆 👍 💣🏱✌ ✡📬 ✋ 🏱 ❄ 💧 ✡ 🕆 ✌ ✌✋ 💧 💣 👎✌✡📬 🏱 ✌👌 ✡ ❄ ." Gaster said with a smile as Mabel left with a smile on her face at the friend she just made. T her shock after leaving the room the door just vanished as if it was never there. (translation: I SUPPOSE YOUR RIGHT. I ENJOYED HAVING YOUR COMPANY. I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY. PREFERABLY NOT HERE)
Inside the room Gaster stood in silence with a sadden look on his face. "As much as I wish to leave it's impossible. My being has been scattered across space and time. I exist and don't exist. I'm everywhere and nowhere. But the Kindness one human girl has shown me has given me a reason to hope someone can free e from this eternal prison. If I'm to see this on a scientific point, then that day will never come."
Mabel didn't have to go far to meet up with Sans drinking some ketchup and got a smirk on her face.
" ✡ 💧✌ 💧!" She shouted this startled Sans a bit as he started coughing up ketchup. (translation: Hey Sans)
"Kid don't scare me like that. You had me chilled to the bone thinking you were speaking in hands." Speaking in hands in something only a few monsters knew but now only Sans can speak that language.
"👌🕆❄ ✋ ✌💣📬 ✌💧❄ ❄✌🕆 ❄ 💣 ." Mabel told Sans this shocked him a bit. (translation: BUT I AM. GASTER TAUGHT ME)
"Ok maybe I'm not losing my head. But how do you know G?" Sans asked curiously forgetting about his initial prank.
"There was a door over there, and I walked in and met him. He taught me a ton of stuff. Even this!" She showed Sans a bit of the magic Gaster gave her manifesting several hands.
"If I had a heart It would have stopped several times already. Geez kid haven't you heard of subtle?"
"Well yeah but…." Mabel noticed something different on Sans a scarf it seems it was in tatters. "Why are you wearing Papyrus' scarf? He doesn't take that off since it goes with his battle body."
Sans grunted unsure how to tell the kid that the one that killed Paps was her brother. "Actually, kid we need to talk. I can take a shortcut to the place, but I need to go somewhere else first. It would be better to get Undyne as well. I'm sure once she learns about the situation, she'd ignore you and deal with the Genocider."
Sans grabbed Mabel's hand as they came across a bridge where MK had just slipped, and no one was around.
"Hold on I got you." She ran forward to grab him. But showed up and got in the way. She was going to kill Mabel then and there, but Mabel used her soul to create a shield as well as reinforcing it with her magic. As Undyne focused on Mabel's shield she didn't notice Mabel using Blue magic to lift MK up and back onto the bridge.
"Yo dude that was sick!" He then took a look at Mabel. "It's you. You were back in Snowdin and you tried to kill me. Does that mean you killed Papyrus?" Undyne heard this and got angry.
"You what!?" She summoned more spears and destroyed Mabel's barrier. Mabel used Blue magic on herself to levitate as she sent bones at Undyne's spears to protect herself.
Just as Undyne was going to kill her Sans got in the way.
"Sans! What do you think your doing?" She yelled. "This human killed your brother you should be helping me!"
"Check their LV. It's not even over 1 and EXP is still at 0. Besides no used hiding it under the bus. Mabel I'm sure you figured it out by now."
She knew what he was going to say. She didn't want to believe it cause Dipper always looked out for her.
"Your brother is the Genocider. Sorry kid. I gave him several warnings just for the old lady, but he didn't listen. I really hate making promises." Undyne lowered her spear.
"Well since we only need 1 more soul, I'll let you go. Sans I'll fight this kid on my own this shouldn't take long." She tried to run off, but Sans stopped her.
"Undyne if you go you will die." Undyne stopped for a minute and still ran towards Snowdin to kill Dipper. Even if she dies there will be someone to stop him.
"Come on kid. You to MK it's not safe out here." Sans told them both
"Sans we can't you said it yourself Undyne is going to die! We have to sa…" She was cut off
"SHE MADE UP HER MIND ALREADY AND KNOWS THE CONSEQUENCES!" Sans snapped at her his left eye glowing showing that he wasn't happy.
"Alright." MK and Mabel grabbed hold of Sans as he teleported again.
(Mabel speaking in hands was just for fun, but I did it cause of how much I like Gaster's character in Glitchtale which is where the powers I gave her came in. The bone magic was from Gaster actually putting his magic in Mabel's soul. The magic was planned from the beginning for Mabel. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this and ready for Dipper vs Papyrus in the next chapter. Note it won't be like it is in the game Paps will fight back)
