Toriel knocked Asgore on his backside, "My child, we cannot let you fight. Not even Asgore." The human nodded, "Please come back with me to the ruins, the barrier will open soon enough." The human looked at the souls, "Umm, mom, what if I absorb the souls and shatter the barrier?" Sans looked at the souls, "That could work. Someone would have to monitor the kid though. That is a lot of souls in one tiny body." Papyrus looked at the human, before whispering in her ear, "Only if you want to. You don't owe anyone anything." The child nodded, "It should work."
She absorbed the souls, reaching out for the surface, despite feeling the souls' anger at the monsters in her body. "Could've before." "They killed us." "Chances were given." The human had to focus hard on the surface, and as the barrier shattered, the world became black.
"Human. Can you hear us?" "Mmm." Everything was still dark. "Try not to move. You are really hurt." The human felt some hands on her, "Try to open your eyes now." The human opened her eyes and saw the skelebros, Toriel, and Asgore over her. "You are still too injured to walk, but should be able to move a bit."
Sans looked at the bloody human. It looked as if the souls rebelled against her and had no interest in the surface. Like they ripped out of her body, "You guys can go on, I'll stay here with her." "You sure brother, she is quite in need of attention?" Toriel looked at her child, "I think we should. She never struck me as liking attention and four of us coddling her may make her worse." Papyrus nodded looking back.
After they were alone Sans sighed, "What happened?" The human's face said she knew, "The souls blame monsters for their deaths. They didn't want your freedom. Something about you had your chance."
"That's different. But I meant to you. You almost died kiddo and no reset was going to happen." "How do you-" "I have my ways." "I shouldn't have when they insisted it doesn't happen." "Nothing we can do about it now." Sans sat next to the human, "So, you call Toriel mom. That's weird." "Sans!" The human's breath was still unsteady. "Tori said it may take a couple hours before you can walk, so we got a while." The human's face paled. "While I admit, it is an opportune moment, I'm not the type for revenge, too much work. Plus, Tori likes you." The human blinked.
After a few hours the human stood up, unsteady to her feet, but stood up. Sans took the human's hand, "Let's meet the others."
"Ah, glad you two are well." "Yep. Just go slow for her." The monsters went through the barrier and it was amazing. Sans hoped this reset was the last one. "Sans." "Yes, kid?" "Where's Flowey?" "He promised not to bother you." The human nodded.
