A/N: People were rather surprised with Chapter 4 when the plot swapped quickly at the end, and I'm glad I had that effect. So anyway, enough talk and time to jockey over to the reviews!
Zekeram12: "This… this… is awesome." I'm glad you like it Zeke, I hope you continue to find it great!
Frisk "I don't have a gender and neither does you didn't know already I'm Frisk!" Hi Frisk! Due to Frisk not having a gender in the actual game is so people can choose what gender they are, for me. I've made Frisk a female Cx
My Name Is Pweety Preety "If I was him this would be my reaction "Ahh! Stop knowing my name until I tell you. It's really creepy." Haha, welcome back Pweety. I agree that would be great! xD
Keep the reviews up guys, they really give me the inspiration to continue the story, so thanks!
And, I think it's time for a really quick transition to the story, byee!
Real Determination Chapter 5
-Realm Unknown
Michael lies on the ground, eyes widening and terrified at the sight of Sans blue eye forming in his left socket. Sans exhales and his eye dissipates as Frisk walks up cautiously and she kneels beside him, Frisk was quite younger than Michael and it was very noticeable when up close "Don't you agree, Michael?"
The first thing Michael notices is that this world isn't as pixelated at the screen would show, Frisk looks like a normal kid but strangely has the features of a female, unlike her sprite in-game, Sans looks like an everyday small skeleton with a smirk, the same with Gaster.
Michael looks at Frisk shock and confusion forming in his eyes. "How did she know who I am?" He would ask himself as he speaks up.
"How did you know my name when I didn't even tell you? It's creepy" Michael shouts, thinking that was the best way to get it out but Sans now more stern face proves him wrong.
"I just do, you've been in my dreams, always looking down at me. Helping me when I needed it" Frisk replies as she gives Michael a kind smile, silence fills the room for a second when Sans speaks up.
"Listen kid, you better say properly why you're here, I haven't had my usual lunch break so I'm annoyed to say the least"
"I-I don't know… Chara had c-come to my world and has started killing everyone" Michael replies, tears in his eyes. Which would make Sans exhale, he stares at Michael for a second, and sighs.
"Alright… Can you stand kid?"
"I think so" Michael stands, looking at Sans, Gaster and Frisk, the feelings of confusion, shock and worry fill Michael's body as he stands there in an awkward silence."
"Well, why don't I make tea for us hmm? We can talk about this properly in my dining area."
"that's probably a good idea G…I'd prefer to not feel chilled…To the bone" Sans would say with a wink, going back to his usual self almost instantly, Michael can't help but laugh and face palm, due to his own love of puns.
"Well great, I shall get the kettle going then, shall I?" Gaster would reply as Sans shows Frisk to the room, on his passing by Gaster grabs Michael and leans in
"I'd prefer they don't know they're in a game just yet…" Gaster firmly whispers, Michael's body has a strong chill go down from the head to his feet, his eyes widen as he stands there speechless.
"Come on, let's go have some tea" Gaster then says, his face returning to normal as Michael nods, still shaken up as he follows Gaster into the dining room.
Michael and Gaster pace in as Michael's eyes gaze around and study the room. It's a nice little room that's warm but looks oddly non persistent with the Scientific design of the lab. In here lies a circular wooden table with four chairs surrounding them, and a fireplace next to it, with the fire going without any wood or anything even burning for that matter. Michael questions it in his head but coming to the conclusion it's magic. There is paintings on the wall, one of Gaster in a much younger light, he seems happy, the second one is a picture of Asgore, and the third his Gaster and Sans.
"Hey G, you still have that painting hmm? I still haven't changed and I still look attractive" Sans smirks with a followed sigh from Gaster.
"Please do not ruin my favourite Painting Sans, remember what you did with the last one"
"Oh c'mon G you have to admit, hydrochloric acid is funny on a painting "
"Ugh…Alright, anyway, we're here for a reason. We need to find out what's going on. I already have an idea what's going on; Michael is here from another dimension, or another timeline." Gaster would exclaim, Frisk's eyes confused and Sans leans in.
"You see, Michael comes from a world where DETERMINATION Is only a figure of speech that means for someone to have the willpower not to give up, not in their SOUL however, but in their mind"
"so what you're saying G, is that Michael doesn't have DETERMINATION?"
"Correct you are Sans, Michael on a scale of DETERMINATION, doesn't seem to have much at all."
Michael thinks about this for a minute, he isn't wrong, Michael can't do anything that Frisk can, and Michael certainly doubts that he could even reset.
"You see, from where Michael is from, no one has tapped into their SOUL, they have the physical power, but if they were to be struck by, take for example a Concentrated Energized Kinetic Blast Wave or CEKBW for short-"
"Or a Gaster Blaster"
Gaster sighs "Or a…. Gaster Blaster could easily pulverise a human from your world and taking their soul with it, they couldn't change the timeline with DETERMINATION. They'd just die"
"Yes that is true, Human die every day" Michael replies.
"Exactly, and that's because your SOUL's are far weaker than the humans here. This is evident because you're older than her and Frisk alone would have the top dominating DETERMINATION here of course that is provided that she had her SOUL. But I digress, I have a feeling Chara has already discovered this, but there's a prominent feature to someone with an extremely weak SOUL, and that is that they cannot have their SOUL taken from their body, unlike Frisk here" Gaster finishes, they sit there in silence for a few seconds as Sans pipes up
"Alright then…What are we going to do?"
"Well, we need to stop Chara, and do to that we need to defeat the combined power of Frisk's soul and Chara's monster souls she collected during her time here."
"Okay G, and how do you suppose we do that?"
"Well, I work on my anomaly teleportation project to fit more than one being. Then we all teleport across to Michael's world, I can examine the blue tear in the space time in my lab right now and try get the dimensional link coordinates. I've travelled their previously in an older machine, but I still yet to implement a coordinate logging device in a newer model."
"Well then, we best get going" Sans replies, pacing out of the tea room into the lab, Gaster follows and Michael and Frisk are left in the room.
"So, how did you know my name?" Michael asks, looking at Frisk.
"I don't know, ever since I fell into the underground, I've felt you've always been there, watching over me. Like I didn't notice Chara until she made me commit…Genocide." At this moments, Frisk clenches her fist, Michael feels a little bad, she then looks up.
"But you were always there, you were always encouraging me on, keeping me going even when I wanted to stop, you cheered me on, even when I was killing everyone, as morbid as that sounds, you still never left me alone"
At this moment Michael's heart sank, Frisk was fighting for her life and her sanity. And Michael just wanted to see how things would end differently.
"You've always been there for me, so I thank you" Frisk smiles, but Michael doesn't, he looks down speechless. But he is interrupted by Sans coming in
"Hey guys, we expanded the teleporter a little, so we could all fit, let's get going, okay?" Both of them nod and Michael smiles, hiding his face.
"Thank you so much for your help" Michael exclaims and Sans gives a grin.
"It's okay kid, as long as we can set everything back to normal. I'm fine with that"
"of course" Michael replies, the pace out of the dining room into the lab where a curtain that was previously strung over the left side of the room is now open, inside is a weird circular machine and next to it stands Gaster.
"Alright, it's all ready to go." Gaster announces as they motion towards the machine. They all get inside as Gaster starts pressing buttons on the console just outside, "Alright, 4635 63524 5443 should be the dimension we're heading to. You all may feel a little sick when we arrive, it's a common feeling, don't worry" Gaster presses a button, the machine starts to make a loud whirring sound as blue energy forms under them, very similar to the energy that formed when Michael arrived, Gaster stands in, suddenly many different pictures and objects are flying past at immense speeds then it all stops, and they're standing in a destroyed bedroom, a chair is lying against a shelf, the bed has glass all over it and is messy, the desk seems relatively untouched apart from some glass on the desk. Both Frisk and Michael fall to their knees, the dizziness overcoming them as it goes away quickly.
"W-What was all those images!" Frisk asks, looking at Gaster.
"Those are the different dimensions we passed during Space foam travel to put it simply."
"So this is your world, huh?" Sans ask, the smell of smoke and destruction enters the room, as Michael stands up
"That's right, welcome to my room" Michael says as he coughs, as he looks at his computer.
"Well we better get finding that kid" Sans replies, walking towards Michael door. Michael's eyes widen as he sees something on his desktop. Its UNDERTALE open with what looks exactly like Gaster's lab, but in a pixelated form. Gaster catches on to Michael's look, turning around subtly he presses CTRL – F4 and it closes.
"You guys coming?" Sans calls out, they all nod as they walk after him. Michael was surprised Gaster knew about the game, and further yet, that he's helping him. They open Michael's door to see burning houses, smoke and distant screams.
"I see your world is having a few problems…" Sans murmurs, Michael nods as he looks around
"Welcome to hell…" Michael replies.
