Chapter 5
Having a Real Bad Time
Many people were huddled in a corner of the clothing store and cowering close to each other, huddling to their family and friends holding each other close. Nobody dared to say a word or make a single movement whatsoever.
Standing at a mirror, Chara was trying on a couple outfits to see if any of them would fit his tastes. He was getting sick and tired of wearing his same old shorts and shirt every time, so he wanted to get a couple new outfits for himself and seeing what works for him and what doesn't. Standing by him and waiting patiently was Neptune's Hound, who kept its eyes moving from time to time as it looked on for any sudden movements, its tail slowly raising up and falling back to the floor from time to time.
Chara stood in the mirror, staring and inspecting his child body as he was wearing a black and red striped tuxedo with a black tie to match with that. He gave a hum as he turned around and inspected the back of him in the mirror before turning back to look at the front. "...Very fashionable... obviously a good look on me... though I'm not 100% sure if it's the kind of suit I would want to wear..."
Neptune's Hound just gave a little growl and its fins kind of rose a little bit. It was starting to get impatient with its master. Even when serving a demonic figure, there was only so much the beast could handle before it started to get agitated.
"Oh, fine, we'll get going. Just... give me a second, ok?" Chara said as he began to put the tuxedo off and change back into his usual shorts and shirt. He gave a hum and folded the tuxedo back neatly and put it in a bag that had a number of other clothes in. "Alright... uh... got some clothes for me... uh... you got the clothes for yourself?"
Neptune's Hound's eyes widened for a second as it heard Chara said that. It didn't want to have Chara dress it up in any clothes. It gave a growl to Chara, which made the demonic child chuckle. "Relax. I'm just messing with you." he said as he patted the beast's scaly head. The beast seemed to calm down and gave a little nod. It glanced back to the people in the corner and then looked back at Chara.
"...Yes, I suppose we should be going now, shouldn't we?" he questioned as he took the bag of clothes into his hand. "Alright, come on. Let's go." He walked with the beast and almost left before looking back at the clerk, who was quietly quivering behind the counter.
"Oh... I almost forgot." he said as he reached into his pocket and walked to the counter, putting aa couple pieces of gold on there. He didn't like to have to pay any human being and feed their greed, but he wasn't really in the mood for stealing anything. So he just decided to pay, and let him keep the change, knowing the gold was worth a lot in the human world. "Here. Go buy yourself a better perfume." he said as he and Neptune's Hound walked out.
He gave a hum and gave the bag to Neptune's Hound, sliding it by the handles onto its tail. "Here. Take these back to the room. I'll go by myself and be back whenever I can." he said. "...And if Asriel's awake, make sure he doesn't eat all my Hershey's, would you? I want to have some chocolate left for me when I get back." Neptune's Hound gave a nod as it began its walk with the bag on its tail, trying to see if there was a large body of water it could find to swim in to get there, as it could theoretically swim much faster than it could walk.
Chara nodded and remained for a couple of seconds to make sure that Neptune's Hound knew what direction to walk before turning around and beginning to walk on the sidewalk. He whistled and whistled quite a bit as he eventually got to a place where nobody could see him, and turned into a shadow as he instantly traveled to Toriel's house. "Time to reclaim my debt." he said as he appeared in Frisk's room.
He was a bit surprised and taken aback to see that she wasn't there. "...Where did she go?" she questioned as he began to walk around the house, looking for her, or anybody. Nobody seemed to be there. Even Asgore was gone, and he couldn't find him anywhere he went. "...Damn it... they must have gotten out of here to prevent me from finding them." he said as he gave a sigh and sat down, trying to think of a place where they possibly could have gone.
He had checked the bathrooms, the kitchen, the living room, and even the basement, but he didn't find a trace of either of them. He checked the home phone to see if perhaps there were any calls made on or received by the phone that could lead him to the right direction, but there were no recent calls. He had scoured every inch of the house to see if somebody had left a note that told where they went, but all he found was a note written from Toriel that had told Frisk that she would be staying home that day and Asgore would be there to watch her.
Chara gave a sigh. He didn't have any way to be able to sense Frisk at the moment... he had no idea of knowing where exactly she had gone... unless he could create some assistance for himself. With that in mind, he took that magic notebook he had from So Sorry and began to draw it. After he drew the thing he had wanted, he listed a couple of abilities and powers that the creature would have.
After he had completely drawn the creature and was satisfied with the powers he had written in there, he gave a hum and began to mutter something at the page. In a matter of seconds, out of the page came a little black cloaked being without legs, basically like a ghost. The only thing it had aside from the black ghastly body was a single, glowing red eye on the left side of its face.
"Alright, Illusionare... let's see if you turned out correctly." he said as he stood up. He then walked out to find a picture of Toriel, the creature floating with him. He found a picture of Toriel and held it for the creature to see. "Transform into Toriel." Chara commanded.
The being closed its one eye, and its body began to distort and wave around. In a matter of seconds, the creature had now become an exact replica of Toriel. "...Attack me with one of Toriel's fire spells." Chara commanded. The creature that now looked like Toriel obeyed and sent small flurry of fire at Chara, which he was able to dodge with relative ease.
Chara gave a nod. "Alright... now let's see how this does you." he said as he took out a real knife and hit the creature right in the chest. As it got hit, the illusion began to wave off and wear away, and the creature was now floating there again, though the illusion gone, the being had taken no damage at all.
"Hmmm... you take no damage, but if you're hit hard enough or too many times with the illusion up, it will wear away." Chara said with a nod. "You seem to be able to copy the abilities of anyone you become quite well... perfect... you'll do just nicely."
He then found a picture of Frisk and held it to the being. "You see this girl?" he questioned as he handed the picture to Illusionare, who took the picture and stared at it with its one visible eye. "Search around the city, and find this girl. Take whatever disguises you have to to make sure you're not discovered... report back to me when you have a whereabout of her location."
Illusionare gave a nod and a little bow as it flowed out of the house and began its search. Remembering what Chara had mentioned about not being discovered by anyone, the creature decided to make itself appear as whatever was one of the first things it saw. It looked around outside, and the first thing that caught its eye was a red cardinal, flying onto the branch of a tree, perhaps searching for something to feed on.
Illusionare stared quietly at the bird, impressed at the thing's pleasant appearance before looking down and closing its eye as it had found what it was going to disguise itself as. It soon had changed itself into a cardinal just like the one it had seen flying into the tree, and began to fly up in the air, searching to see if it could find the girl in the photo that Chara had given it.
It first flew all around the sky, seeing if it could find the girl outside. It flew all around the place, from street to street, in a constant flight, but no sight of the child was found.
Seeing that she wasn't outside at all, Illusionare decided that it was going to have to check in a couple buildings. It went from house to house, changing forms through every house depending on the things that it saw in the houses. It changed into flies, mice, spiders, and other creatures that were common in the different homes that wouldn't draw too much attention. It had gone to at least 20 different houses in a matter of 30 minutes, working as hard and as fast as it could to try to find Frisk.
It eventually it came to the house of Sans and Papyrus, and was about to slip in, but noticed that it could look in a window without going in. It took a glance at the window, and saw Sans, Papyrus and Frisk right off the bat.
"Hmmm... while I, Master Chef Papyrus, could definitely make a lot better..." Papyrus said as he twirled some more of the spaghetti onto his fork. "...I cannot deny, even with store bought spaghetti sauce, these humans have impressive knowledge in making bowls of pasta."
"Yeah. See what I told you? It didn't turn out too bad, now did it?" Sans said as he ate some more of the spaghetti. He was just happy that he could eat some pasta that didn't taste worse than what somebody could buy at a Dollar Store for a little less than a dollar.
Frisk nodded and quietly ate the spaghetti, blissfully unaware of the spy that was watching her. The Illusionare, giving a nod as it had found the girl it had looked for, took the form of the cardinal again and flew back to Toriel's house. It got at the window and saw Chara sitting there, looking in the fridge. "Hmmm... no chocolate." he said with a disappointed sigh. "...Man, things have really been going downhill with Mom if she's not even buying any chocolate now..."
He looked and saw the cardinal fly over to him and stood by him. "...Oh, screw off, you dumb bird." he said as he smacked the bird away. After the smack, the illusion wore off and Illusionare was completely visible.
"Oh... you even had me fooled." Chara said with a hum. "You found her, I take it?" The creature gave a nod and went to his side, beginning to whisper something quietly to him.
"...Alright then. I'll head there immediately. Good work." Chara said as he got Illusionare back into the notebook and remained quiet for a couple seconds as he was getting ready to travel.
In a matter of seconds, he appeared inside Papyrus's room. He gave a hum and looked around. The room had quite a number of bones laying around. "...Hmmm... such a strange room..." he said. "...Alright... I think if I can just hide in here... wait until they aren't paying attention to Frisk... then I can sneak in there and take her soul..."
He turned to the bed and froze up when he saw a sight that he was not at all expecting. On the bed was a little white dog, chewing contently on a bone. He didn't know how it got there or how long it was there, as he knew that dog wasn't Papyrus's or Sans's. However it was, it was there, and so was Chara.
The dog just contently chewed on the bone, not noticing Chara's presence until a couple seconds later. It glanced up and looked at Chara, his tail starting to wag after a couple seconds. "Oh... h... hey there... little fella." he said as he watched the tail wag slightly. "Uhh... wh... where did you come from?"
The dog put down the bone and jumped off the bed and walked over to Chara's feet, panting. "Uh... hey..." Chara said. He was trying to find a way to get away from the dog before it started making noise without attracting any attention. "Uh... listen... I'm... a little busy... so... I don't think I can play with you right now... so... maybe if you..."
The dog looked at him and gave a little growl, indicating that he was ready to bark excitedly. "No, no. No no no no no no no." Chara said as he shook his head and put his index finger over his lips to shush the dog. "Don't do that. Don't make any sounds, alright?"
The dog, instead, just kept panting and gave another little small growl, as it was surely ready to bark by now. "Don't you dare bark, you stupid little dog!" Chara whispered fiercely. This only got the dog even more excited, the more Chara acknowledged its presence. "...No, wait. I take it back. You're not a stupid dog. I didn't mean to say that, just please... do not-"
The little white dog finally began to bark. "Arf! Arf!" it barked with that very high and squeaky voice.
"No! Stop it! Stop it!" Chara whispered as he was starting to panic. "I'll pet you or give you a treat or something, I swear I'll do whatever you want! Just please! Stop barking!"
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Papyrus, Sans and Frisk all stopped eating as they heard the little barking. "...Do you hear that?" Frisk questioned.
"It's coming from upstairs." Sans said. "...Sounds like a dog."
"That meddlesome canine!" Papyrus exclaimed as he stood up. "He must be getting into my bone collection again! Oh, I'm gonna get him this time!" He went over to the cabinet and grabbed a spatula as he began to walk upstairs with it.
Sans gave a roll of his eyes and went back to eating the spaghetti. "...Aren't you going to help him?" Frisk questioned.
"Why would I bother?" Sans asked. "It's not my room, it's not my problem... besides, I spent enough time on my breaks as it is already."
The Annoying Dog was barking more and more at Chara, Chara really getting panicky at this moment. "Listen, dog. I am begging you. Please, stop barking." Chara said. "I don't want anybody to catch me here. I don't want to attract any attention. If you keep barking at me like that, you're going to lead someone right to me while they're looking for-"
"Cursed canine!" Papyrus exclaimed as he opened the door to his room. "You're not going to get out with another one of my-" He came to a stop and stared as his eyes immediately caught the sight of another human around Frisk's age standing there with the dog. Both the dog and Chara looked at Papyrus, Chara's eyes wide, and one of them twitching a little bit.
Neither of the two dared to say a word while they just stared at each other. The Annoying Dog just sat there, panting. Seemed like the discovery of Chara took all the attention off the dog.
"...Who are you, human?" Papyrus questioned. "How did you get into, and what brings you to the house of I, the Great Papyrus?"
Chara just remained silent for a couple more seconds before turning to the Annoying Dog. He was discovered and his element of surprise gone, so there was no sense in keeping quiet now. "Stupid dog!" he shouted. "You blew my cover!"
Papyrus held the spatula up. "I ask you once more! Who are you, and why are you in my house?"
Chara, however, had different plans than answering Papyrus's question. He instead, looked at Papyrus with that creepy eye socket and open mouth face and charged straight into Papyrus, knocking him back out of his room.
Papyrus gave a yelp of surprise at Chara's action. He was taken by surprise and caught off guard. "How dare you attack I, the Great Papy-" Before Papyrus could finish his statement, Chara hit him again, this time his fist becoming a very big fist of some black aura and slamming into Papyrus in a powerful punch, causing the skeleton to fly back and fall down the stairs.
Sans and Frisk both glanced at the stairs as they saw Papyrus tumbling down them. "Papyrus!" Sans exclaimed as Papyrus hit the bottom stair. "You ok?!"
"I-it's him." Frisk said as she pointed up as Chara walked out of Papyrus's room and looked down at all three of them. "He-he's the one. The one that attacked Asgore and I?"
"That's him?!" Papyrus exclaimed as he ran back to Frisk's side.
"Guilty as charged." Chara said as he jumped down to the second floor, landing on his feet without any problems. "I was planning on sneaking up on you, and I would have done just fine had that annoying dog not come around and blown my cover." he said. "Oh well, no matter. It will be much more fun ripping every one of you apart the physical way."
Sans gave a sigh. "Just when I thought I could enjoy my break without any more interruptions..." he muttered as he stood up and put his hands in the pockets of his shorts. "Papyrus... take the kid and get her some distance from here. Find a good hiding place."
"Sans!" both Frisk and Papyrus simultaneously exclaimed. Frisk then asked, "Sans, you can't seriously be thinking about-"
"Oh, but I am." Sans said as he looked back at the two. "Go on, find a place to hide, or a place that's safe from danger where you can watch. I don't really care." he said as he looked at Chara. "I told Asgore and Toriel that I would show this little brat a bad time if he came here, and that's what I'm going to do."
"Sans..." Papyrus said, not at all liking this idea. He had never seen Sans in a single fight before, as Sans was always so lazy. He wasn't sure if Sans would be able to handle this.
"...You boneheads still standing there?" Sans questioned as he looked at the two. "Come on! I'm giving you two a golden opportunity to get out of harm's way, and you're just going to stand there like a bunch of idiots? Get going!"
Unwillingly, knowing that Sans wasn't going to be swayed into changing his mind, both Papyrus and Frisk ran to find a place in the house which was safe and that they could watch the battle. "Don't you dare walk out on me." Chara said as he looked at Frisk running. "You and I have a deal to finish!" He turned into a shadow and began to fly fast to get Frisk.
Before he could reach him, however, Sans suddenly appeared right behind Papyrus and Frisk as they ran, blocking the way for Chara and giving the two a few more seconds to find a hiding place. "Oh? What's the matter, brat? You chilled to the bone at the thought of facing me?" Sans questioned. "You'll be fighting me now, and I'll take you down right here, right now."
"TAKE ME DOWN? ME?!" Chara questioned, his freaky face coming back. "YOU STUPID BAG OF BONES! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHOM YOU'RE SPEAKING TO?! I AM A DEMON! I AM THE ONE WHO SHALL RIP ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET AWAY, AND YOU PLAN TO GET IN MY WAY?!"
Sans gave a chuckle and closed his eyes. "...Let me tell you something... 'Chara'." he said as he kept that grin on his skeletal face. "It's quite a beautiful day outside, isn't it?... Birds are chirping... flowers are blooming..."
Chara gave a scoff of ridicule as he held out his hand to one of the knives in the knife rack at the kitchen. The sharpest, biggest knife flew into his hand, which he caught and grinned at Sans as he was ready to rip this bag of bones apart.
"Yes... a wonderful day... and it's on days like these... and any other day, in fact... that kids like you..." Sans opened his eyes, and the white pupils that were usually there had disappeared. "Should be burning in Hell."
"Heh. You don't scare me. I'll take you out in one shot." Chara said with a grin. He began to charge at Sans with the knife at hand, ready to slash at the elder skeleton brother while Papyrus and Frisk quietly watched on.
One of the pupil's in Sans's eyes returned, glowing blue and yellow. He held out his hand as Chara approached and jerked it down. When he did, Chara was suddenly pulled to the floor with great force, slamming his body face first onto the floor. Chara was dazed and surprised at the sudden hit. He was not at all expecting to be stopped so easily by Sans.
As he got up on his hands and knees, trying to recover his focus from the hit, he could sense something about to come up and strike him from the ground. He gave a yell and jumped up into the air, avoiding a field of bones that spiked up from the ground that was aiming to do damage to the 'demon' child.
"Gah! Lucky shot." Chara said as he landed back to the ground and heard a strange noise, which sounded like something flying in right behind him. He turned around and saw what looked like a dragon skull appeared right there. "What the-" Chara exclaimed as he rolled to the side, just barely dodging the white blast that came out of the skull.
After he dodged the first, there was another one that shot at him again, which Chara also had to avoid. He was able to just barely hop from the ground and avoided the attack. He looked up at Sans in complete surprise. "...What?" Sans questioned with a shrug. "You thought I was kidding?"
Chara gave a growl and he stood up. "Big deal. You just caught me off guard." he said as he held the knife, ready to attack. "That won't be happening again." As he stood there, ready to make an attack, he could slowly feel something crawling on his back. It wasn't like anything physical, it was just that feeling of something crawling on his back and tingling his spine. "Let's see how you like this!" He charged again with his knife.
He jabbed the knife forward, aiming to hit Sans in the stomach, but Sans easily stepped to the side and dodged it. With Chara's hand right close to him, and with the said boy stunned at the dodge, Sans was easily able to grab his hand and threw him down to the ground. "You honestly thought I was going to make it that easy for you?" Sans said as he threw Chara back at the direction he was.
Chara growled as he stood up, watching as bones were coming up from the floor and down from the ceiling and coming straight for him from both sides. Chara had to jump without jumping too high in order to dodge the attacks. One of the bones had hit his leg, and as it did, Chara felt a burning pain shoot all throughout hit body, much more than a normal attack such as that should have done.
He gave a growl as he looked at his leg and groaned. That crawling feeling was still on his back, only now it was felt to a much larger degree by Chara. "Wh... what are you doing to me?" he questioned. "How are you doing that?!"
"Hehehe. Why don't you come over here and find out?" Sans questioned as he held his hand up to him and began to wag his index finger up towards himself, to provoke Chara to try that again.
Chara gave a growl. "I... I will not lose to a cur like you!" he shouted as he charged again.
"Yes, that's right. Keep swinging that knife to your heart's content." Sans said as he easily dodged the attack again. He then snapped his finger, and more of those dragon skulls began to appear around Chara and fire those beams at him. Chara dodged as many as he could, but there were quite a few that were able to hit him. With each hit that Chara took, it seemed like it was getting much harder for him to avoid the attacks.
"Wow..." Frisk whispered as she looked at Papyrus. "Papyrus... you never told me that Sans was so strong."
"I... I had no idea." Papyrus said. "I've never seen him like this."
Chara gave a growl as he stood up, that crawling feeling starting to chill his very spine as he tried an attack, this time, it having to be much slower from Chara's sudden weakening.
Sans easily dodged it again, and this time gave a grin. "Alright... let's see how this works." he said, and for a second, all Chara could see was pitch black.
When Chara's vision returned, he was met with the sight of bones flying right at him from the ground. "This isn't possi-" he started before getting hit by the bones, having absolutely no time to reach to them coming at him.
After he got hit from the bones, his vision went black yet again. When it came back, there were more bones heading to him. He was able to dodge a few, but he still got hit quite a bit. After that, his vision went black again, and when it came back, he was surrounded by four dragon skulls. He had no time and almost no energy to dodge them, and he got his by all four of the blasts at once.
His vision went black again, and when it returned, Sans was staring at him with that grin, his white pupils staring intently at the boy. "So then... you ready to call it quits kid, or are you just going to make things harder on yourself?"
Chara slowly got up, coughing up some kind of black sludge as he did and it spilling on the floor, presumably some kind of blood. "H... how... how... did you..." Chara started. "No... NO... THIS CAN'T BE... I'M... A DEMON... I'M MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY HUMAN BEING AND MONSTER IN EXISTENCE... AND YET... YET I LOSE... TO THE LIKES... OF YOU?..."
Sans gave a chuckle. "Oh, did I forget to mention?" he questioned. "I'm a judge for any human or monster that seeks council with King Asgore. You may be strong against any other, but against me, all the sins that you've committed in your life and all the hatred in your heart gather against you and make you weak. You never had a chance to face me, because you're full of hatred and malice."
"N... no... impossible..." Chara said as he slowly got up, coughing up more of his own 'blood'.
"What's impossible is that you would still seek to fight, even though you have absolutely no chances of success." Sans said with a sigh. "...I'm done fighting you... I'm giving you a chance now... leave and never come near my friend again... or else I won't be so merciful the next time we meet."
Sans turned around with a sigh and began to slowly walk. "...No..." Chara said quietly as he gripped the handle of the knife tighter. "...No... NO..."
He gripped the handle tightly and began to charge at Sans while his back was turned. "Sans! Look out behind you!" Frisk shouted. This made Sans look back and see Chara running straight for him.
"YOU WILL DIE!" he shouted, having Sans right where he wanted and thrusting the knife right at them.
Both of them stared at each other quietly for quite some time. Neither Sans nor Chara really knew what happened. The handle was right into Sans, but the blade wasn't in him... in fact, on closer inspection, the blade wasn't there at all.
Chara looked at the knife handle and saw that the blade was completely gone. It must have gotten blasted off by those big white lasers. "...No..." he said as he turned the handle up side down and began to hit the bottom of it, as if expecting the blade could just magically fall back down.
Sans cleared his throat a little bit and Chara looked back at him. He now stood there, his face smug and his hands on his boney hips as he looked at Chara. He knew that the 'demon' child had absolutely nothing. He was no match for him.
"...Heh heh... uh..." Chara chuckled nervously as he looked at the knife handle in his hand. "Oh... uh..." He tossed it to the side and looked back at Sans with his hands behind on his back. "Heheheheheheh... eh..."
Sans gave a shake of his head and lifted his hand up, sending Chara up and slamming into the roof. Chara gave a yelp of pain, and watched as Sans had a few bones appear from the ground right under him. "...Oh... wow... alright... uh... I... know I've done a couple of things... and I've said a lot of things I shouldn't have..."
Sans gave a nod and an "Uh-huh" as he snapped his fingers and a whole ring of those dragon skulls appeared, all of them opening their mouths slightly and charging their beams, letting Chara see the white light of death that awaited him down there.
"And... uh... I... know you're probably thinking, 'Should I throw this boy into that ring of death?'... and the answer to that question might shock you... but... if you could just find it in your heart to put me down-"
"Put you down, eh?" Sans said. "...Mm. Alright. Whatever you say."
Chara gave a gasp and looked back at the bones and the laser skulls that awaited his descent. "No! Wait! That's not what I-" He began to fall towards the ground. "MEAAAAAANT!" The bones pierced his body as soon as he came into contact with him, and once he did, every single skull in the ring fired their beams at him, encasing the entire house in a bright white light.
When the light disappeared, Chara was laying there, without his legs, his left arm, and the entire left portion of his face gone. His body was spilling its black inky blood all over as the bones faded away with the skulls, as he laid there, silently.
"Oh yeah!" Sans shouted as he spread his legs a bit and smacked both of his hands on the sides of his crotch. "I got three words for you, kid! Get! Dunked! On!"
"Sans!" Papyrus exclaimed as he and Frisk came out of hiding. Papyrus went to his brother while Frisk just stared at Chara. Even after Chara trying to kill her multiple times, she couldn't help but feel bad that he was in such pain.
"Sans! That was AMAZING!" Papyrus exclaimed. "...Well, I mean not as amazing as me... but how did you do that?! Where did you learn to fight like that?!"
"That's why you don't piss me off, Papyrus." Sans suggested with a chuckle and a shrug. "When you gotta judge a lot of people that come wondering in to meet Asgore, you gotta learn how to punish some people, you know?"
"Obviously! You gotta teach me how to fight like that!"
"Well... I don't know." Sans said. "I mean, with me having two jobs and having to work a lot to get them done and earn my legal breaks..."
As the two continued talking, Frisk watched as Chara slowly opened his one eye that he had. He groaned in agony and looked as Sans and Papyrus paid no heed to him. He didn't seem to notice that Frisk continued to stare at him. He felt so humiliated and embarrassed, beaten by such a lazy lowlife as that bag of bones. And now here he was, at their mercy, absolutely helpless...
He glanced over on the floor and saw his one miracle. His magic notebook that laid there, feet out of his reach. Perhaps... if he could get to that notebook, he may be able to save himself.
Frisk just stared as Chara forced himself onto his belly and began to slowly crawl with nothing but his right arm. Any other person would be absolutely immobilized and helpless to bleeding and at the mercy of everyone, but Chara's determination to get out of there made it so that he was able to move his body.
Frisk stared, thinking nothing of it, and having the thought that he was just crawling to escape. She decided that he should have a chance to leave, and have some mercy. That thought was immediately smashed when he put his hand on that notebook, and began to flip the pages as he was trying to find a monster he had drawn that could buy him enough time to fully heal himself.
"...Sans. Papyrus." Frisk said as Chara got to a page and began muttering something with his hand over it. Both of the two skeleton brothers turned just in time to see something pop out from the pages. It stood at around 6 feet, and looked like a human. Its entire body was covered in some kind of teal wear that covered his whole body, with a trapezoid shape going from the part of the neck up to the area below its supposed nose. There was another trapezoid shaped part above its eyes that covered its head. Between these two parts, its face was covered by darkness, save for its eyes, which glowed yellow.
"W... Windeol..." Chara groaned as he got himself back on his back. "Gi... give me... time... to... heal..."
The humanoid creature known as Windeol nodded and held its hand open. In its hand, from a strong blowing wind, a staff of wood had appeared in his hands. It stood at about 5 feet, and at the top of the staff was a cloud of pure wind, with powerful little gusts blowing around it.
"Heh... you gotta learn to quit some time, kid." Sans said as he stood at the ready.
Windeol held its staff towards Sans, and a very powerful gale of wind suddenly blowed throughout the house, almost blowing Sans Papyrus and Frisk over, and causing quite a number of possessions in the house to topple over.
"Hmph... fine then... you want to blow things away... blow on this!" Sans said as he sent bones flying at Windeol. The creature didn't move an inch, and yet from his sheer mental control of the air around him, all of the bones steered away from Windeol and missed him.
Sans gave a groan and tried to slam Windeol into the floor to have bones appear under him, but before Windeol hit the ground, he let the air push his entire body up and have the bones miss him. Sans gave a sigh and snapped his fingers. To that, a dragon skull appeared. "Let's see what you got against this."
To that, however, Windeol was fully prepared. Before the skull could fire, he used the power of the air and forced the skull to turn around, aiming directly at Sans. When the skull was turned around and facing the skeleton, it fired. "...Oh." Sans said.
The blast had hit him and sent him flying and crashing into the wall. "Sans!" Papyrus exclaimed as he ran to him. Windeol held his staff at both of them, and used the air around them to hold both of the skeleton brothers to the wall.
Frisk hid and watched as Chara, who had used the time of his break to fully heal himself, stood up and walked over to the two. "...You're a judge that judged those who met Asgore, hm?" he questioned. "...I'll tell you what. Since you've really impressed me in our fight, I'm prepared to let you go if you answer this question... where are the Human Souls?"
"The Human Souls?" Papyrus questioned as he tried to get down to no avail. "What do you want those for?"
"I want them because though I hate to admit it, my fight with Asgore and my fight with you has proven to me one thing." he said. "...Without that special notebook of mine, I don't have the power to defeat all of you and achieve my goal... but with those souls, I'll be invincible..." Chara looked at Sans. "I'm giving you and Papyrus a chance to save yourselves... all you have to do is tell me where they are."
"...Alright..." Sans said. "...I'll tell you."
Frisk gave a gasp and watched on as Chara smiled. "Good decision... go ahead..."
"I'll tell you... when Hell freezes over, you little bitch." Sans said with a triumphant grin at him. "Asgore released those souls the minute we got up here... by now, all of the souls of the humans he had killed are all across the world, safe from the reaches of someone like you... and you'll never be able to find them... quite a bone-shattering realization, isn't it?"
"Gah... fine then... if I can't find the Human Souls, then I guess you both can find your way in Hell." Chara said as he held his hand up, ready to give Windeol the order to kill them. "Do me a solid, would you? When you both meet your Creator, tell him to go ahead and skip my judgment... Hell won't be able to contain me." He gave a grin and was ready to swing his hand down to give Windeol the signal to kill.
Brother. I don't want you to hurt anybody...
The sudden remembrance of those words caused Chara to stop cold. He stood there, as if frozen in time for a few seconds, his hand slowly lowering as he didn't seem to realize what he was doing.
"...Why am I hesitating?" he thought to himself."I have them right where I want them... I just have to give the order to Windeol... and they won't be able to stand in my way...' He raised his hand up again, ready to give the order once more.
I... I just want my brother back... I want... you to be happy...
The words that Asriel told Chara kept appearing in his head. It was as if they were trying to stop him from killing them. "...Why can't I do it?!... I... I am a demon with no heart!... They deserve it!... All of them deserve it!... Just give the order!... Just give... the order... and..."
I know there's still good in you... please... just let it free... let go of your anger... let's go home... let's be a family again...
Sans and Papyrus waited for the end, but became confused as Chara had hesitated to give the order not once, but three times now. Frisk also remained watching, silently waiting to see what happened.
"..." Chara gave a humiliated sigh and closed his eyes, looking down as he swung his hand to the left, giving Windeol the order to let them free and call of the kill. For some reason, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
Papyrus and Sans both flopped on the floor, gasping for air with Frisk running up to them. "Are you both ok?" she questioned. She looked back to Chara, who had already gotten Windeol back into the notebook and was walking away.
Frisk looked down and thought about what she had just saw. The supposed 'demon' had the perfect opportunity to kill them, yet he decided to spare them anyway. Frisk thought about that as Chara disappeared out of sight... perhaps the demon child wasn't as evil as he convinces himself to be...
