The Locket Part 3

Thanks for the reviews and follows they make me smile Enjoy.

Sans almost collapsed when they arrived at the lab.

Sans! Are you okay, you've been using a lot of magic today.

"Yea, I'm fine just give me a minute to rest I've been pushed to my limits before, now is no different." He looked around the whole place was abandoned, Alphys and the amalgamates had evacuated with the others so it was just him and Frisk. He sat down on one of the beds and took comfort in Frisk's presence around him. Frisk on the other hand was a bit on edge it was terrifying here the first time and it was just more unsettling knowing that nobody was there. They took comfort in the magic that swirled around them. "Okay, so I only know so much about DETERMINATION and what it can do but if we play our cards right we should be able to find a way to get past it."

Chara doesn't have much DETERMINATION Sans, it stole most of it from me, we just need a way to get it back.

Sans looked over at Frisk and even though the light was pretty bad in the area he could tell they looked exhausted, bags under their eyes little chips in their projection, they looked like they had been thrown into a barrage of blue attacks unprepared.

"Hey kid why don't you take a rest, I can see that your tiered let me make some plans while you some energy back alright?" Frisk looked over to him and smiled.

Thanks Sans I need it

He smiled as Frisk disappeared he walked over to the main room and started drawing up ideas, he already had a plan he just needed to make sure it would work.

Chara was charging through the underground killing anything that they had missed, one eye had returned to normal but the other had started leaking more black fluids. It needed to find Frisk fast, it had stolen their DETERMINATION but Frisk had to stay with them or it would poison its own soul. Taking it was dangerous and this body wouldn't last much longer unless it found Frisk to make it stable again, and might as well push them into unconsciousness while they're at it, no more interruptions just Frisk and Chara together forever, the demon grinned at the idea they wouldn't let Frisk leave like Asriel. Not even that damn comedian could tear them apart.

Whether Frisk wanted to or not.

Frisk felt a chill go down their spine, Chara must have thought of them, they shivered roughly Sans would never let the return to the hands of that demon unless he was dead but that didn't help the fear they felt, deep down they still wished Chara could change it was so nice to them in the underground but taking one look at their soul now they knew it could never happen.

Their soul was a sickly grey color with a light red tint on it, covered in chips and cracks from when they stepped out of line with Chara. Frisk flinched their own DETERMINATION sucked out of their soul then forced back as a magical attack it hurt so much, and couldn't do anything about it. They wouldn't tell Sans but they already knew about how Chara could die from DT poisoning and take their body with it, if there is nothing else that can be done, they'll just let their body die along with the demon and use the last of their energy to reset one last time. They knew it would cause Sans a lot of heartache but it might be the only way.

They just hoped he could forgive them if that time came.

Sans was stressing himself out, he had an almost perfect idea but couldn't find a way to make sure that Frisk's body could come out perfectly fine, the best way he could get so far would have been taking Chara to the DT extractor and forcing them inside but that could hurt Frisk's body to a dangerous percent. He was getting frustrated he was the only one that could save everyone from that demon, even though he didn't want to admit it he needed help.

"What am I going to do?" He placed his head in his hands.

"I think I can help with that." Sans head snapped up so fast he heard it pop, there against the wall was Flowey or Asriel as his true identity. Sans could feel his magic pick up again, why was he here for Frisk? Was he helping Chara? "Calm down trash bag I'm not involved in any way is that demon, I'm here to help actually." Flowey watched Sans as his magic slowly went down again Chara may have once been his friend but now it was just a demon bent on killing everything, even without a soul he didn't want that to happen and now that Sans was able to take Frisk back from Chara they had a chance to win. Even if it meant helping Smiley Trash bag out. He moved his roots up farther until he was almost at Sans face "I have a plan it has a pretty good chance of working but you may not like it, it has a risk we probably need to take. Sans was sweating what on earth could this kid have planned, well right now the worst he could do was listen to it.

"Alright what's your idea?"

"You want to WHAT?!" Sans had his hand clasped tight around Frisk this… this plan was insane!

"What other choice do we have I know for certain that the DT extractor will harm Frisk's body dangerously to the point where they couldn't inhabit it again."

"I know that they would be able to handle it just until they reset I would help them it would only take a few seconds! Not the big chance of their soul being shattered for good, don't you care about them!?"

"Of course I do and I also know they would take my option over yours! Even if it is more dangerous they would take the chance because it would keep you me and Asgore safe!"

"No! I won't let them take that chance, there has to be another way!"

"What could possibly be another way your plan is stupid it could kill Frisk before they even had the chance of returning to their body!"

"Your plan is basically giving them back to Chara on a silver platter! Their soul is damaged they wouldn't be able to overpower it!"

Sans magic was reaction heavily to his emotions wrapping itself around Frisk while Sans himself tried to hold back gaster-blasting the damn flower. They were at a stalemate both plans where reckless and the two wouldn't back down, Frisk was still trying to regain as much strength as they could and Chara was destroying the underground.

What could they do?

"I think I have a plan better than both of yours." Both occupant's heads snapped over to the new voice their eyes widening at who they saw.

Alphys looking at them both with the amalgamates behind her.

Now I was going to leave it without telling you who what the other person but school is going to start back up for me so I don't know how soon I can update. I'll try my best to get the next chapter out soon Bye!
