Many centuries after the war, , 201X. A human child climbed high, finding a giant hole in the mountain. Taking a closer look The Child tripped. Injured by its fall The Child called out for help.

"It sounds like it came from over here... Oh! You've fallen down haven't you... Are you okay? Here get up... What;s your name?

"It's... it's Chara I think.."

"Chara, huh? That's a nice name. My name is Asriel."

Dreemurr Castle

"D-dad... I found someone. They're hurt..."

A tall bipedal goat (holding a cup of tea) in long purple robes turns around with a big smile from hearing his son's voice. "Who son?"

The royal goat drops his cup as he trembles from what stood in front of his eyes, "Uh... uh human... S-son where did you find them?"

"A-at waterfall's trash site... Their name is Chara. Dad, we must help them! They are really hurt!"

"Asriel go to your room please. Toriel!"

"Yes dear?" A smaller bipedal goat peeks out the Kitchen entryway.

"This is important, we need to talk immediately!"

Toriel leaves the kitchen and approaches the living room, she notices an injured human passed out on the chair near the fireplace. Toriel puts her hands over her face and walks out calmly over to Asgore. "Oh my Gosh..." she whispers.

"Toriel.." Asgore whispers back.

Gaster's lab a few hours before the fall

Boom

Two skeletons were in a laboratory, a tall one shocked and a smaller one smiling with ashes smothered around their faces.

"Welp... that was excell-plosive."

The taller one moves his eyes down to his left staring at the smaller one, "Sans... I swear. Shutup."

"Raah!" Gaster storms off through his sliding door, putting some papers into his lab coat pockets with Sans following behind him, "Seriously Sans, how does your brother put up with that everyday? I can't even handle those terrible puns for a few hours."

"I don't know? I guess he has more bone-tolerance than you do."

"Sometimes I wish when my experiments fail, they take me with them so I don't have to suffer another failed pun. HA! Get it? "Failed" puns, like when you tell a pun about my failure and your puns fail to be funny?"

Sans kept smiling, "Yep. Don't worry about your failed experiments, you already built a successful heat generator for the whole Underground by The Earth's Core. Then Asgore gave it a terrible name like always. "The Core". Heh."

Gaster looks down at Sans, "Even when you're being supportive you're still making bad jokes."

"What can I say, I'm a skele-fun."

"Huh... I know so many things Sans... things that can kill me. But they don't. Now! Let's test the..."

Gaster stops walking as he reads the name Sans gave the device. He squints, "Gaster.. Blaster."

"Heh."

The two skeletons walk up the stairs of the lab. "Alright Sans, I want you to test it. I've tested your soul and it's strong enough for this kind of power. Focus on your soul to move it through your mind."

Sans blinks and opens his eyelids, a glowing cyan and yellow left eye appears in the black socket. Raising his right arm, the blaster's eyes glow. Sans takes his arm forward and opens his palm, the motion of the blaster mimicking his hand. The mouth opens with beams of white energy specks being absorbed into the jaw, forming a white energy sphere. When the sphere got to the size of a yoga ball Sans clamps his hand causing the energy to be released into a beam.

Gaster shouts, "Amazing! The blaster is so much stronger than I predicted. This will be useful against humans, especially adults. Now let's head to the barrier, I need to examine the barrier's atomic particles a bit more."

Arriving at the castle they met The King drinking his cup of tea in Judgement Hall, The Goat smiles as his royal scientists walk in. "Ah! Gaster, Lovely day isn't it? I see you're here to study the barrier more?"

"Yes, your highness. I think I'm on the verge of discovering a way out."

Asgore chuckles. "Mhm. That's wonderful news to hear. Let me know of your accomplishment so I may announce it to the people when you're ready."

Entering The Throne Room, Gaster steps aside and bows, "Yes your majesty. Come on Sans. Oh, good morning my Queen."

"Oh! Hello to you too Gaster."

As The Queen was out of the way, Gaster and Sans walked through the throne room, Hey Gaster, did you see her, she's beautiful."

Gaster raises an eyebrow, "Sans how do you feel hormones? You are nothing but bone done there and well I guess... Aauuh."

Gaster fell onto the ground, "Oops, The barrier. Guess we're here."

Gaster stands up and pats his clothes, "Ahem. Alright, I just need to take the spell's essence and see the energy in it."

Sans cyan-yellow eye appears and a Gaster Blaster teleports in and absorbs the atomic energy around them and fires.

Gaster held out a device in his right hand, "There we go the energy is scrambling. Yes I got the readings, back to the lab now!"

Few hours later

"Eureka. This is it!

Sans walks in drinking coffee to find Gaster wearing magnifying goggles, "What did you find?"

"A way!"

Sans spoke softly, "Another what?" Then takes a sip of his coffee.

"A way to break the barrier!"

Pfffffttt

Sans spits his coffee onto Gaster from astonishment.

Gaster grumbles, "Really Sans?"

"You found a way out!" Sans replies.

"If you won't spit your coffee at me YOU DON'T NEED! Then yes."

Sans winks, "What can I say, I love my coffee; Makes me feel alive."

"No time for your puns, we must tell Asgore. Umm... Sans."

"Yea Gas?"

"Don't call me that. And you left a trail of coffee all over my lab!"

Continuation of Chara

Asgore was speaking to his wife, "Asriel found them. They're severely injured. I don't know what to do..."

Toriel puts her arms around Asgore's shoulders, "We help them. For Asirel's sake."

Chara was moved by Toriel to her and Asgore's bedroom to rest, Asgore watches the human as Toriel cooks a meal for the fallen Child. A few hours later The Human awakes with bandages on their head, they are confused, frightened to see a room that was not their own. The door opens, Asriel peeking through the door, "Oh! Howdy! You're probably confused where you're at, aren't you?"

Chara saw a white fur goat on two legs infront of them, now knowing what they saw they did no other thing they could do, "Aaaahhhh!"

Asriel raises his hands waving, "Hey quiet! You're ok!"

Chara grabs the pillow off the bed and throws it at Asriel shouting, "Get away you freak!"

The Pillow hits Asriel in the face and falls revealing Asriel squinting, "Really? What is a pillow going to do?"

Chara stands frozen on the bed as they move their eyes left and right with a fearful-embarrassing look, "U-uh stop you?"

Asriel fell on his back, "Hahahahaha! You're funny."

Chara acknowledges the goat is harmless so they ask, "Umm... What is this place? And what are you?"

Asriel keeps laughing, "Ha! You're really funny!"

Chara gazes at Asriel with a confused look as Asriel wipes a tear from his eye, You aren't kidding are you? You really don't know what I am?" Chara shakes their head no very slowly."

"Wow... So humans don't remember us?"

Chara looks directly into The Goat's eyes, "I've heard... legends of this mountain. I'm in Mt. Ebott right?"

Asriel sits down and puts his hands under his chin, "Yea. Can you tell me what those legends are though? They sound interesting!"

Chara stands still in place not sure what to think of Asriel but they know they have to say something, "Well... the legends spoke of ruins from leftover castles and major wars but everyone says they're old folk legends and never happened..."

The door behind Asriel opens, Toriel walks into the room with a warm pie she had prepared. "Oh My Child, you're awake! That is amazing news, eat up! You need to regain your strength."

Chara is stiff, they don't know what to say or think. They never met anyone or anything (especially) so kind to them, "Uh... Thank you."

Toriel lays the pie onto the bed and grabs Asriel's hand, "Come with me. Let The Human get acquainted with their new surroundings for a bit. I will be back darling."

Sounds of shoes came running through the castle hall to the Dreemurrs' home, 'YOUR MAJESTY! YOUR MAJESTY!"

Asgore turns around holding a (new) cup of tea, "Howdy Gaster. Whoa! Gaster slow down, what's the hurry?"

"I-I found a way to break the barrier!"

Asgore spit out his tea all over Gaster's face, Gaster's back is bent down and he wipes off the tea and mucus from his face revealing a sour expression.

"How do we break the barrier, Dr. Gaster!"

Gaster stands up straight and puts one hand behind his back and the other pointing a finger up in the air, "We need to acquire seven human souls."

Asgore drops his cup, "Uh... Uh a Human Soul?"

"Yes. Seven magicians. Magic is manipulated by the soul, which focuses and manipulates the atomic energy around us. The atomic energy needs to match the strength of seven human souls to break the barrier."

"Gaster.. I will inform the people of your findings."

"Thank you King Dreemmurr."

Asgore walked into the living room to find Asriel and his wife walking away from the bedroom, "Tori, I need to speak with you. Alone."

Toriel sees the despair in the eyes of The Old King, she knows Asgore has grim news. "Asriel go to your room and play with your toys." Asriel lets go of his mother's hand and walks into his bedroom while staring back before he shuts the door.

"Asgore what's wrong?"

Asgore grabs both of his wife's hands, "Gaster found a way to break the barrier."

Toriel breaks free of his grip, she covers her mouth due to shock and amazement, "That is wonderful news! Wait...You aren't happy?"

Asgore put a hand over his wife's shoulder, "Tori, to break the barrier we need the power of seven human souls."

The Queen stares into her husband's eyes, "What do you mean?"

Chara finishes eating the pie, hopping out of the bed, they explore the bedroom until they eventually find a photo frame. Picking up the frame, Chara notices the photo of Toriel, Asriel and a bigger goat. All three of them look very happy, something Chara wishes they had back with their own family. Putting the family photo back they decide to walk over to the door, reaching for the knob they open the door to see Toriel talking with the bigger goat in the living room of the gray home.

"Asgore, what shall we do with Chara?"

Asgore replies with heavy breaths, "I... I don't know..."

Toriel speaks the idea, she has been thinking for sometime, she was waiting to see if Asgore had something in mind (to a non shocking surprise he didn't.) , she put her hands over Asgore's shoulder and looks deeply into The kings weary eyes, "Maybe we can... take care of them. There's no other way, they are too young to care for themself and they cannot return home."

Asgore sighs, "You're right. I have an idea! This can even be a symbolism of hope for Humans and Monsters, a chance for an era of peace!"

Chara shuts the door quietly, their heart pounding after hearing what has been said. They weren't sure what to think, they felt fear and perhaps joy at once. The door knob turns, Chara faces the door to see the bigger Monster come in.

Asgore walks quietly over to his picture, grabbing it as he spoke, "Chara.. that's your name right?"

"Yes.."

"So? How do you feel?"

"F-fine... If you don't mind, may I ask a question Mr..."

"Asgore."

"Mr. Asgore, what is this place?"

Asgore puts the photo down and turns around, "Hahahaha! This is the Underground dear child; This is where The Monsters live."

"Monsters?"

"No need to be afraid, we don't hurt anyone; We are a peace loving race. Monsters is just a term..." He scratches his beard, "Well, to describe us."

Asgore walks over to Chara's direction and he bends down on his left knee and places his right hand on Chara's shoulder, "...My wife and I have decided to take care of you. I promise as long as we live we will protect you, care for you as one of our own. We can sit in the living room eating butterscotch cinnamon pie, telling stories."

Chara beautifully stares into the King's eyes, this feels like a dream come true and what is weirder is that this is kindness from a family they never met and wants to care for them out of the bloom.

"W-what about my real family?"

Asgore lets go of Chara's shoulder and puts his hand behind his head scratching his hair, "Child...I'm afraid to tell you, there is no way out of this mountain."

Chara steps back raising an eyebrow, "What?"

"You see child, we are all stuck in this mountain."

Chara shoves The Old King and runs out of the door, trying to get away from him; all of them. Chara runs by Toriel and pushes her against the wall, making Toriel drop the baked cookies she made for the occasion.

Toriel shouts, "My Child?"

Asgore runs out of the room down the hall breathing deeply, "Where did they go?"

Toriel grabs Asgore's hand, "Outside!"

"Outside?"

Both The King and Queen shouted, "Chara!"
