The birds sing a sad song of freedom as the flowers bloomed in the sunlight. Nothing remained in this space as the shadow clashed with the light. Monsters appeared from any shadows they could, under the window, under the throne, even under the flowers themselves. The ground shook beneath them, each fighting their hardest for what they wanted.

One trying hard to save this world.

One trying hard to destroy it.

From the doorway, Flowey peeked his head in. All the tension he had seen between Sora and Chara finally led to this point. Frisk had tried to avoid this, Flowey could tell that, but nothing could have stopped this. This was the destiny of the world. Flowey just watched with curiosity. How would this end? Who would truly be the winner?

"Flowey!"

Flowey blinked and looked around, "Hello?" He called out, moving out into the hall more. "Who's there?" He looked to the left towards a doorway, then to the right towards the wau back to the Judgement Hall. As he did, there was a shadow quickly disappear around the corner, "Hey!"

He chased after it, not stopping until he was almost out of the hall. He sighed, "What am I doing? There's nobody here anymore." He shook his head and heeded back up the hall.

"Flowey!"

Flowey stopped and turned back. The voice was unfamiliar, but he knew it. Somehow it was a voice he knew well, better than any other unfamiliar voice, "...Frisk?"

There was no response from the darkness. It was just quiet. Hesitant, he turned back to return to the throne room again.

"Save him."

Before Flowey could get far, he came onto a single piece of pie , still warm, just waiting. He narrowed his eyes, looking around, "Save him? Why? What's he done for me?" He asked the voice. When he got no more response, he sighed and lifted the pie up onto his head, "You are such an idiot." He mumbled as he carried the pie back with him.

You were exhausted, having trouble catching your breath. Chara stood back as the army of heartless around her surrounded you. You take a step back. Maybe making a run for it is your best option. But as you got to take anither step, you feel one of the heartless throw it's arms around you and hold you tight. Its all you can do to hold onto your keyblade.

Chara laughs, "What's the matter? Giving up already?" They scoff and step closer to you, "Even Sans put up more of a fight than this."

You are trying not to listen to them as you focus on trying to free yourself from the heartless. You turn your head a bit and look back at it. It's nothing more than a shadow, nothing special. With the right pressure, you could drive your keyblade right through it and drive back to the dark.

"It is a shame to see that none of them created any Nobody's. But, the shadows are just as strong."

You tense and look at Chara again. It had taken you this long to realize. Of course! All these heartless... they came from the fallen monsters!

"Oh? Did that surprise you?" Chara laughed, "Surely even you noticed there were no heartless here when you first arrived. There couldn't be, this world resets constantly. But, when you opened the door, it changed everything."

You look down hiding your face. You came here to help, but you only made things worse. Sans was right, everyone was. You really were helping them the whole time.

Chara stood in front of you and just shrugged, "This isn't as glorious as I pictured, but, it is what it is. Now, if you would just stay dead this time, this will all be over soon." As they moved closer, you could see them reaching for your keyblade. It was all over, the plan had really failed after all. You could only pray for a reset now. What you wouldn't give for a piece of Toriel's homemade pie. It made you smile to think of it. The mixture of butterscotch and cinnamon gave off a much stronger smell than you could have imagined. In fact, it was as if you could really smell it.

Like it was right beside you, waiting for you.

"Chara! Sora!"

You look up a little to see that the smell was in fact beside you, and on top of Flowey's head. He looked more than a little frustrated, but something told you that that pie was probably heavier than it looked to him.

"Flowey, what the hell are you doing?" Chara sighed and turned to face him, stepping closer.

Flowey just smirked "I'm bringing the pie you never ate. So what?"

You watch as Chara had their back completely to you. You start to shift yourself to prepare for an attack without alarming Chara or the heartless holding you.

"If I wanted the stupid pie, I would have brought it," Chara was getting more and more visibly annoyed, "Anyway, how did you even get it here?"

Flowey sighed, "Does that really matter? Just take the damn pie!"

Chara glared at him "Oh, okay, I'll take the pie." They gave an evil smirk as they slowly took the pie off of his head, "Thank you Flowey. And good night!" They lifted the pie up and slammed it quickly down on Flowey's head over and over, Flowey too surprised to fight back.

You quickly take the opportunity to strike the heartless down holding you and drive your keyblade directly through Chara. Chara stops, dropping the plate next to Flowey, it shattering over the mushed pie, "This ends. Now!" You turn the key, a locking sound emitting and a single heart flying out as Chara disappears completely.

With a sigh, you smile and watch as the heart floats over to where Frisk sleeps and disappears inside of them. You turn back to Flowey who just hangs simply over himself and kneel in front of him, "Flowey, thank you."

He doesn't answer you, he just shifts away.

You get down to the ground to look up into his face and smile "If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have gotten to opportunity to stop them."

Flowey meets your gaze for a second and just turns away from you .

You lean back on your knees and tilt you head "Are you okay, Flowey? They really did a number on you."

Flowey raised his head a little, but still faced away, "You should have just let them kill me."

You blink at his bold statement, "What? Why?"

Flowey glances at you through one of his petals before he sighs and disappears into the ground.

"Hey, wait!" You call after him. After a moment you just stand and sigh, "Oh well."

"Sora..."

You look over to the throne and see Frisk rubbing their eyes, just looking around confused. You walk over and smile, "Frisk, can you remember anything?"

Frisk shook their head, "I... I remember Snowdin. A voice was telling me to make them suffer. But then, nothing."

You look down, "So... you can remember what happened in the Ruins?"

Frisk frowned, "It's all a blur. Did I spare them? Did I kill them all?" They put their hands on their face, "I can't... I can't remember for sure."

You look at them again as you strap your keyblade to your back, "You don't have to worry about that voice anymore, I promise." You smile at them as they lower their hands, "I promise, things will be better."

Frisk meets your gaze, truly believing your words. They stand and nod, "If I reset one last time... will things be better?"

You nod and hold your fists up, "Yeah! I know together we can set everyone free. If you reset, we can do this the right way!"

Frisk nods, excited "Okay!" They hold their hand to the side as the room goes completely black and a white set of text boxes appears. You see a bunch of information that you don't quite understand, but manage to pick out "Chara" and "Lvl 20." Beneath it are a couple boxes that read "Continue" and "True Reset." Frisk hesitates over the rest button, then turns to you, "Sora?"

You blink, pulling yourself away from the information in front of you to look at them, "Yeah?"

Frisk just frowns, "I know... I know my heart is a lie. I lost my heart when I fell down here," they put one hand on their chest and looked down, "I don't really know when the whispers started, but, I know I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. If I reset... will I truly be able to do the right thing?"

You frown, they were definitely struggling with this decision. Sora, you feel Roxas as he forms himself beside you and Frisk in your mind, If they don't reset, will they just fade away into the dark? Is this world just destined to fall like that?

"No, I won't let that happen!" You say suddenly, making Frisk jump. You look at them and smile, "Frisk, let me take your place. I'll go through the new timeline and free everyone."

Frisk looks surprised "Huh? Is that even possible?"

You shrug, "I dunno. But, if you really think you don't have a heart, than you can share mine," you put your hand on your chest, "I don't mind, there's plenty of space in there, I think."

Frisk shook their head, "What if that voice comes back and takes you over next?"

You shake your head and gesture to your keyblade, "Ain't no way that heartless will be getting inside my head. Not while I have this keyblade."

Frisk thought for a long moment, then nodded, "Okay." They smile at you, "I'll take you up on it. But. When everyone is free, I'll go back to being my own being. I can't live off of you forever."

You smile and shrug, "It's up to you, really. But, I promise I will do this right. And hey! You can help me when I need it. I'm sure there's plenty of things down here I still haven't seen."

Frisk giggled a little and nodded, "You're in for a ride." They just smile at you and nod finally. They hold their hand out, "Take me hand. When you wake up again, no one will remember a thing, but you have to play along like you don't know them. Okay?"

As you take their hand, you nod, "Alright. I can do that. Im pretty good at playing dumb." Frisk just smiles at you and you both look ahead as they select "True Reset."

A light flashes for a moment, before everything goes dark once again.
