The Locket Part 4
Why do you people enjoy these stories? My writing is crappy also I'm sorry I've been gone for so long computer broke and while it was broken my word subscription ran out so half of this chapter was writing in editing I hate it but I hope you guys like it
"Alphys?! What are you doing here! Why didn't you evacuate!" Sans was so confused, so much had happened, Frisk, Asriel, and now Alphys what else could happen!
"I know you're confused so let me explain without interruptions okay I have a lot to cover." She looked over to Flowey. "Both of you." Flowey looked away begrudgingly and Sans still wouldn't release hid death grip on the locket
"Alright then explain scientist." Flowey said moving back towards the wall.
"First things first I remember the previous timeline." The other occupants stiffened and Sans looked over to her shocked.
"H-how did you?" She pointed to the amalgamates.
"They helped me, when the timeline reset I had no idea that anything had happened but when I went to give them food they were acting really strange, it took me a bit to understand what all of them were saying but they keep telling me one thing something was wrong, time went backwards. They filled me in on everything that had happened and I remembered, I'm not quite sure how so I decided to run some test. And I realized the amalgamates could remember because they had DETERMINATION not enough to control the timeline, but enough to remember previous ones, helping me out as well." She walked up to moth of them and pulled out some papers from her lab coat. "I don't remember everything but the best I could do was tell everyone to evacuate and put the lab into total lock down nothing could get in or out, except either of you, so I sat and waited."
Sans was amazed, Alphys was safe here and could tell that something was wrong, thinking back on it he never did notice but everything was off except for the low power light, the lab had been shut down not even Chara could break into here when it was offline.
"Alphys that amazing I can't believe that you could remember everything, this changes so much! I'm so glad you're alive." Alphys smiled at him and Flowey scoffed, she stopped smiling and re-adjusted her glasses.
"Besides that I only remember the last timeline what happened during this one, why is Frisk and absolute insane! They were killing everyone on my cameras, they almost killed Mettaton to."
"He's alive! But I saw him explode into a million pieces?!" It was Flowey's turn to be shocked he watched all of the kids fight with residue horror, he could tell from the beginning that it wasn't Frisk but nobody else would have believed him.
Alphys glared at Flowey for mentioning it.
"Yes he did explode but I managed to save his soul from turning completely to dust, in the main power room he is slowly recovering." She walked up to them looking at Sans completely serious. "Still Sans what is happening, what happened to Frisk I know something is wrong but I know that you'll know more than me." Sans took a deep breath his hand coming back up to grasp the locket once again.
"I'll explain everything, just please keep an open mind Alphys." And so he did, from Chara to what he had learned from Frisk to the fact they were stuck in a locket and neither Flowey or Sans could come up with an idea so save them. Alphys was stuck between a mixture of shock and horrified. Their sweet little Frisk possessed by a demon?
"C-can I see them?" Alphys didn't see it but Sans gripped the locket just a bit tighter, he didn't want to let them away from him even for a second, but Alphys deserved to see them.
"Alright but only if they want to." He looked down at the locket and used his magic to shift their soul a bit letting them know he wanted to talk. "Hey Frisk, can you come out for a sec, someone wants to talk to you." He could feel their soul twitch in his magic before the locket glowed a soft red and Frisk appeared sitting next to him with their head down.
Had something happened? Why else would Sans want them to come out, maybe he found something to help them. No, nothing could help them, maybe that was the reason he called them out, to break the bad news.
"F-frisk!" Their head snapped up shocked, Alphys?! What was she doing here, they noticed that Asriel, or Flowey was there too.
Alphys? Flowey? Y-you're okay? They were going to start crying again, Alphys must have been able to tell because she came over and put her hand over Frisk's
"It's okay Frisk, Sans told me everything and we can all help you get your body back."
Even with that reassurance Frisk started to cry again, how could they not? Alphys was alive, they thought she was dead, other than Asgore, Flowey and Sans they thought everybody was dead.
I-I, I'm so glad your alright Alphys. I thought you were gone. Alphys smiled at them.
"Don't worry were going to fix this together, now I'm assuming you'll want to rest more? Me Sans and Flowey will figure out a plan from here." Frisk smiled at her.
Thank you Alphys. Frisk's image vanished back into the locket as they rested and the three got to work.
Sans gave Alphys his idea and Flowey gave his to her as well, she went onto writing down all the possibilities and how they could be fixed and improvised on her own and finally got a solution.
"Alright so instead of both of your solutions I decided that if we do a mixture of both we can cut the possibilities in half that anything happens to Frisk. Here my idea is that we could make a hand-held DT extractor for one soul and after we weaken Chara we can have Frisk go back to their body and RESET can you both agree on this." She looked at the over the glare of her glasses, they would all have to work together to make sure this would work.
"I can agree on this if it's the best way to keep Frisk safe." Sans said as he walked over to Alphys he looked over a Flowey who reluctantly agreed to help to pair.
"Fine I'll help, only because I don't want to die to that demon."
Alphys went to start on the DT extractor, Flowey went to see where Chara was and Sans and Frisk went off to rest.
He hated this so much, Frisk wasn't even 10 and they have to go through all of this shit. If only he had keep his promise and protected them better the first time. He was filled with what ifs.
If they had never died would they had fallen to Chara
If he stayed with them could he have prevented so much?
Eventually his mind started taking darker turns
What if after they RESET they just stayed in the underground with their family? They didn't have to break the barrier the surface was nothing special in his option. Keep them underground and safe, no they wouldn't want that for their family.
He got one more idea, one twisted with desperation to keep them safe from Chara at any chance.
He could absorb Frisk's soul and fight Chara and kill them with a new host the RESET would go to them and Frisk would stay with Sans even after because their original body was dead. Nothing could get to them, he just had to open the locket...
"ARGG! What am I doing?!" No he shouldn't be thinking these things they will free Frisk and get them back to their body he doesn't have the right to take away their choice.
It would make him no better than Chara
He needed to sleep.
Chara was fucking insane
No that was wrong Chara was actually pretty smart
What they were doing was fucking insane.
More black fluid was leaking out of their eye and the other was turning back as well, they even were coughing up their tainted DETERMINATION.
They were running out of time fast, they needed Frisk but at the moment they needed to get rid of some DETERMINATION. They knew just how to do it and let Frisk know that time was catching up.
Chara pulled out their soul a blood red with black cracks all over it dripping liquid DETERMINATION turning black as it came off.
Chara smiled as they took the knife and cut inside the edge of their soul they fell to the ground coughing out black liquid and more and more of it bleed out from the heart the pain was indescribable and Chara made damn well Frisk could feel it too locket of not their souls from being in contact for so long could feel each other.
In the lab Frisk could feel pain but keep it from Sans, as he feel asleep they looked over their soul again, another crack appeared they were so damaged even if they could get back to their body would they have enough DETERMINATION to RESET?
They didn't know
And that scared them
