Sans awoke first. He looked around and didn't see the abomination that knocked him out. He was confused. Why was he outside the lab? Sans stood up and saw Chara, the demon flower, and a strange boss monster all sitting next to each other. He ran over.
"Hi, Sans. This is my brother, Asriel. Also, I gave Flowey a soul," Chara said.
"what? how did you resurrect your bro, and how did you get a soul for flowey?" Sans asked.
"Chara used the human souls," Flowey said.
"how did a human use other human souls?" Sans asked. Chara shrugged.
"wait, how did you get out of the true lab? how did the souls get into all this? chara, you've got some explaining to do," Sans said.
"I took her out and tortured her. I was still evil..." Flowey said.
"Then I think that Chara said that Flowey absorbed the souls and became a giant plant science demon thing," Asriel said.
"overpowered masterful evil giant abomination flowey. omega flowey, that's what we'll call it. omega flowey knocked all of us out. when you were defeated, did the souls go to chara and did she use them then?" Sans asked.
"Yes," Flowey answered.
"And I let the souls go to the surface. That way they'll be alive in this timeline," Chara said.
"you what!?" Sans said.
"Let them go. Let the souls free. Let them go to the surface," Chara said.
"Please don't fight," Flowey said.
"Yeah, guys! Listen to Flowey," Asriel said.
Asgore awoke.
"Ugh. What happened?" he asked.
"Dad?" Asriel said.
"Asriel?!" Asgore said. He stood up and ran over to his son.
"I missed you, dad! Chara brought me back to life!" Asriel exclaimed, hugging his dad.
"What?" Asgore asked.
"how about chara explains everything when everyone is awake. for now, i know it's safe to let all the civilians finally return to their homes for good," Sans said.
"Thank would be fine, Sans," Asgore said.
Undyne awoke next.
"Eurk! I'm so sore all over! Sans, Asgore, what happened? Is Chara safe? Chara! You're here! Wait, flower! Listen to me, you demon flower PUNK! Wait? Is that you son, Asgore?" Undyne said with very conflicted ideas and feelings.
"Everyone here is good, Captain Undyne. Chara will explain to everyone soon. Will you tell us all everything? From the first timeline, before you fell to us, to now?" Asgore said.
"I don't know if I could..." Chara said.
Then, both Toriel and Papyrus awoke.
"NYEH HE- ACK! SANS, MY RIBS HURT! HUMAN? YOUNG ASGORE? OH, HI FLOWEY!" Papyrus said.
"Huh, young Asgore? Asriel? Asriel! My son, I have missed you so much! Chara, you're here, too! We are all here together again! What happened? Who are you, was it Flowey?" Toriel said.
"They say we'll get an explanation once everyone is awake, Queen Toriel," Undyne said.
"AHA! SO WE WILL LEARN ONCE EVERYONE IS UP! I'LL GO AND HELP THEM WAKE!" Papyrus said.
Toriel walked over to Asriel and Chara as Alphys and MK awoke.
"Yoooooo! My head REALLY hurts! Wait, yo, when did I come out here?" MK said.
"U- ugh. Why a- are we outside? Ch- chara! Fl- Flowey!? A- Asriel?!" Alphys said. She stood and walked over to them.
"I'll explain later..." Chara said. MK came and sat next to them.
Papyrus woke Greater Dog, Shyren, and Napstablook.
"Yip!" Greater Dog said, running after Papyrus.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Papyrus screamed, not wanting to lose any bones.
"Do! Mi, So, hurting. Re?" Shyren sang. She floated over. Greater Dog tiredly pranced over to the group and sat like a good boy. Papyrus also sat.
"Oh... Am I the last to wake...? Oh, Mettaton's still sleeping... Oh...? Chara, you're here...? Who are you two...? Oh, sorry... You've probably explained everything a hundred times... Sorry..." Napstablook said, floating over.
"Ch- chara w- will explain I- it soon, she s- says. I a- actually j- just need to t- turn Mettaton o- on. I f- forgot to. Heheh..." Alphys said, standing and walking to Mettaton.
"Oh Y- Oh Ouch!" Mettaton said.
"Y- you're fine, M- Mettaton. Ghosts can't e- even feel pain," Alphys said, helping Mettaton stand. They walked over. Everyone sat by Chara.
"Alright, Chara. It's the time for our explanation, punk!" Undyne said.
"Could we h- head inside?" Chara stuttered. Everyone stood and walked inside the lab with Chara. They all sat at the table. All eyes were on Chara.
"I guess I'll start from the beginning, huh?" Chara said. She had a couple of tears coming from her eyes. They all sat for a long, long time as Chara described hundreds of timelines.
"I was just a normal little girl until I turned nine. When I was nine, I got in a very bad car accident with my parents. They both died. Somebody helped me out of the car. They told me to come with them. They said that they were taking me to the hospital. They lied," Chara said. She was crying.
"His name was Bane. He was twenty at the time. He was evil. He enslaved me. Once a year for the next seven years, he would abduct another human. The second was a boy named Gordon," Chara said. She was now sobbing.
"He had a green soul, and he was an amazing cook. He cooked with the food Bane forced me to steal. Gordon was very kind to everyone, even Bane. Gordon was seven when he was taken," Chara said. Her heart locket turned to a green tint for a moment.
"The third human was Noel. She was very young. She liked to play a game called Humans and Monsters. She was only five when Bane took her. She was very patient with everyone and never lost her temper," Chara said. Her heart locket turned light blue for a moment.
"The fourth human to be trapped was Adam. Adam was eleven when he was taken by Bane. Adam was the bravest of all of us. He would always fight Bane. Bane seemed almost scared of him, but I don't think so. Adam was a boxer before Bane stole him," Chara said. Her locket turned orange.
"Jay was the fifth. She was always only doing what she believed in. She was nine when Bane stole her away. Jay loved to dance. Bane forced her to at one point, and she refused. Jay was always honest and shared her opinion in a kind way," Chara said as her locket turned dark blue.
"Then Matt was captured by Bane. He was twelve. He always tried to make Bane suffer for what he was doing to us. He was the only one that knew everything that Bane did, and he told us. Matt never was mean to anyone who didn't deserve it," Chara cried as the heart locket resting upon her chest turned yellow.
"The seventh human was Cherry. Cherry would always finish what she was doing. Cherry would persevere through everything, even when Bane hurt her. Cherry was ten," Chara sobbed. Her locket became purple.
"Then Frisk came. Frisk was the person whose body I was possessing when I would kill you all. Frisk was sixteen, my age at the time, when she was stolen by Bane," Chara said. Her locket turned to the normal color and glowed brightly. Chara sobbed for a couple minutes and then continued her explanation.
"Bane made a mistake and sent me alone to grab some rocks from Mount Ebott. That is the mountain we're all under. Earlier that day, Bane had cut open my arms. I was done with the horrible, torturous life Bane was forcing me into. In tears, I..." Chara cried.
"Chara, my child, talk when you are ready. I'm sorry that we are putting you through this," Toriel said.
"Yeah, Chara. J- just talk only wh- when you're r- ready," Alphys said.
"YES, HUMAN! ONLY WHEN YOU'RE READY!" Papyrus said.
"I jumped down wanting to murder myself..." Chara sobbed out.
Everyone looked at her and felt empathy for Chara.
"And I wanted to die for all seven years..."
"Just wanting to be free from Bane..."
"I hate him. I still have my scars from when he tortured me. I would rather die millions of times than be with Bane again," Chara cried out.
Sans spoke now, "chara, i'm so, so sorry. none of us had any idea. i hope you forgive us for forcing you to tell us."
"Chara, I'm so sorry. I was just thinking 'Oh, this punk tripped and fell,' but I had no idea it was this big and sad," Undyne said.
"Chara, why didn't you tell me? You know I love you and would love to help you, right?" Asriel asked.
"I forgive you all. I didn't tell any of you because I was afraid of him. Bane once said to me 'Alright, filth. If you tell a single soul about this, I'll skin you alive,' and I was so scared he would come after me. But, I was wrong. My only seven friends in the world came down. Once a year. They died down here..." Chara said.
Sans, Toriel, Undyne, Alphys, and Asgore all started to cry. Everyone else had big frown on their faces.
"I tried to protect her, my child. She was so young, and the froggit was one of the final waariors. I'm sorry that Noel died, Chara," Toriel said.
"kiddo, if i had know that that that boy was adam and he was good, i wouldn't have done it, i'm so sorry," Sans said.
"Punk. I'm sorry about what I did to Cherry and Jay. I thought that all humans were evil. Forgive me, Chara," Undyne said.
"Ch- Chara. I'm s- so, so sorry a- about what I programmed M- Mettaton to do t- to Gordon. P- please understand th- that I didn't kn- know, Chara," Alphys said.
"Chara. I had no idea that Matt knew you. I'm sorry," Asgore said.
"I forgive you. I don't forgive myself..."
"Chara, darling! Cheer up!" Mettaton said.
"No. I'm an evil failure who murdered one of her only friends. I deserve to die. One of you, please, kill me. Send me to hell. I need to die..." Chara sobbed.
"Chara! It was your EXP! Not you. I know you, Chara! Better than you know yourself! I will only die and live when you do, Chara! If you go to hell, I'll go with you. You're not my blood-sister, but you ARE my soul-sister. Don't kill your soul-brother. You don't need to die, but you want to. Please stay with me..." Asriel said.
"I can't live with knowing what I've done!" Chara screamed. She stood and tried to run out of the building, but Sans grabbed her soul. Everyone gasped and Chara turned. Her soul and Asriel's soul were merging. Then they split. Both Chara and Asriel had a half-monster half-human soul. Chara turned to look at her brother.
"Our souls are merged?" Chara asked.
"I heard about this. Humans and monsters that were very caring about one another had their souls merge. It was very rare, and when it happened, it would typically only be a bit of their souls. Only one other set of people had their souls merge to such a perfect merge. Our souls merged half and half. I think their names were Toby and Wing. I think that they were both scientists and they accidently merged their souls. I was told that Toby became a monster after it happened," Asriel said.
"Wing? As in Wing Ding Gaster? The old Royal Scientist?" Asgore and Alphys asked.
"Yip? Ruff grrrrrr yip yip arf?" Greater Dog asked.
"The darling dog asked if you mean Toby Fox, the dog who lives in the little house by Glyde?"
"I have no idea," Asriel said.
"Beware the man who speaks in hands. Everything is dark. Darker. Yet darker. The darkness keeps growing. The shadows are cutting deeper. What do you five think?" Chara said. Her eyes were pure black until she fainted. Chara awoke a few moments later. Everyone was staring at her.
"Uhm... Let us all forget that happened. My daughter, would you please keep telling us about your story?" Asgore said.
"Uh, sure...?" Chara said.
They all sat for a couple moments until Chara started to speak again.
"But, anyways. When I was at the bed of flowers, I cried. I wanted help. It was two hours until Asri showed. He helped he up and healed me with his healing magic. I didn't trust you yet, Asri. I was terrified of you, mom and dad. It took me two months to finally trust you all. I wanted to show my trust to mom and dad by making a butterscotch cinnamon pie. Asriel and I didn't find any butter, so we used buttercups. Dad, you got sick and I remembered that. Nine months later, at the garbage dump, I found a bloody tutu, a bloody ribbon, a bloody bandana, a bloody hat, some bloody glasses, and a bloody apron. I thought that Bane had murdered my friends, so I was finally ready to kill myself. But then I thought about Asriel and mom and dad. I figured we could free everyone while killing Bane and myself. Asriel didn't want to. Both he and I died," Chara said. She was in full tears.
"I watched all of my friends come a die for real. Then I watched Frisk come down. Frisk made great friends. She stayed with you guys for two months until she was curious. What happened if she killed someone? Frisk RESET and killed Papyrus. You hated her, Sans. She RESET again and murdered everyone. I got a weak physical body. I killed Frisk because I loved all of you. I was possessing Frisk as I forced her to RESET. She killed everyone again and I enjoyed it. It happened 665 more times. I enjoyed all of it. Then something happened," Chara cried.
"Napstablook, Mom, Papyrus, Shyren, Greater Dog, MK, and Undyne, all of you were killed by me and Frisk. Dad, Sans, Flowey, Alphys, and Mettaton, I murdered you all by myself. I killed Frisk and stole her soul, and then I RESET and I saw Sans standing in the entrance of the ruins with his blue eye blazing. I knew something was wrong. I was scared and conflicted by evil. Then, Sans, you told me that Toriel and Asgore are the same Toriel and Asgore as my Mom and Dad. I didn't want to fight, but something made me. Alphys gave Sans some stuff in a shot and then removed my EXP," Chara sobbed.
"Then I was brought here and I drew a picture. Sans and Alphys made sure I was healthy. I got really sad and ran away. Sans saved me from Madstablook, but I ran away again. I hid behind the statue of Asriel and Undyne, Asgore, RG01, and RG02 found me. Undyne brought me to the lab and a tried to kill myself by jumping into the lava. I went unconscious and Dad saved me. I woke up in jail and wanted Sans to kill me. My EXP got into me again and I tried to kill everyone. Undyne restrained me and Sans took away my EXP and then my determination. I ran away and tried to drown myself in the river but Franklin saved me. I ran away from him, too. I was in Snowdin and I stole some clothes, food, and books. Undyne and Sans found me and Undyne put me in jail and Sans fled," Chara cried out.
"Everyone voted on my life and I was sent to jail. I let Frisk's soul go free. I met you, Flowey, in jail and I went to visit Sans, Alphys, and Napstablook. Flowey somehow persuaded me to go to the open room instead of therapy and I went there and git in a fight. Undyne saved the people and I fell asleep for a long time. When I woke up, I ate some chocolate pudding, played a game and got sad again. I went to the bathroom, but it was an elevator to a scary place. I watched tapes of Asriel and I and then I cried. Flowey took me and teleported me to the barrier. He killed me three times and I wanted him to kill me for good," Chara sobbed. She stopped talking for a moment.
Undyne asked, "Say, punk, how DO you kill a human for good?"
"You shatter their soul or destroy their body," Chara cried. She then continued to talk about her story, "Flowey absorbed the souls and I ran here. I saved the souls and absorbed them somehow. I Made Flowey a soul and re-made Asriel and his soul. I sent the souls free and we all cried for a while. Then you guys woke up. Here we are," Chara sobbed.
"You sent the souls away!?" Undyne, Asgore, Mettaton, and Sans exclaimed.
"Yes..." Chara answered between her sobs.
"My child, you have done nothing wrong! All you have done is save your friends and most probably prevent a new war," Toriel said.
"Sorry, punk. I didn't mean it like that," Undyne sheepishly said.
"sorry, chara," Sans said.
"Darling, I'm sorry!" Mettaton yelled dramatically as she fell on the floor into a dramatic pose.
"Chara, please forgive me. I was just thinking of my own desires and not others' feelings or the outcomes," Asgore said.
Chara spoke, "It's okay. A- also, um, when did I go to jail?"
"twelve days ago," Sans answered.
"Oh. Uh. Um. What time is it...?" Chara asked.
"Seven at night," Asgore said.
"Is there a place where I could stay the night?" Chara asked.
"And is there a spot for me?" Asriel asked.
"Could I maybe stay with someone? Hee hee hee, what am I thinking? No one will let me, right?" Flowey asked.
"Fl- flowey, do y- you want to st- stay with Mettaton a- and I?" Alphys asked. Flowey nodded.
"Asriel, my child, I have a place for you," Toriel said. Asriel excitedly walked over to his Mom.
"i know that papy and me have a spot on the couch, if you wanna stay, chara" Sans said.
"Sure, Sans," Chara said, rubbing her eyes and walking over.
Everyone planned to sleep together. Asgore, Toriel, Greater Dog, and Asriel would be together. Flowey, Alphys, Mettaton, Shyren, MK, and Napstablook would sleep together. Sans, Undyne, Papyrus, and Chara would all sleep together.
Everyone said goodbye and departed.
Toriel and Asriel made some butterscotch cinnamon pie. Asgore helped Toriel and Greater Dog plant flowers. Greater Dog played games with Asriel. Flowey, Alphys, Mettaton, Napstablook, MK, and Shyren all ate instant noodles. Mettaton, Napstablook, and Shyren preformed for Alphys, MK, and Flowey. Flowey and Mettaton played chess. Napstablook, Shyren, MK, and Alphys played a game called Jno.
Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne ate quiches and spagetti. Chara just picked at her food. Undyne and Papyrus watched Mettaton's training show. Chara sat at the table with Sans. Sans looked at a something on his laptop. Chara sat and did nothing. Papyrus went to bed early and Sans read him a bedtime story. Chara sat at the table and put her head down. Undyne fell asleep on the couch. Sans said goodnight to Chara and went to bed.
Chara said goodnight to Sans and walked outside. She sat on the porch and looked at all the civilians meeting up again and rejoicing to be back at their homes. Chara smiled at all the people. Chara went in after a couple of hours and fell asleep in her chair.
