A/N: Hello guys, chapter six is now here and a lot quicker than most of the other ones as of late. Due to exams being over and holidays rolling in, I hope to release a few more chapters before the upcoming next term of school, so let's get right into the reviews!
Also side note, I won't be reading the actual sections of the reviews, due to them being long, so if you wish to check what they said, just go check it out!
feeling nostalgi: "(Chapter 4) Sorry for not catching your review, turns out it had come after I finished most of the story and I'm glad you enjoy the chapter! Keep reading buddy :D"
Asriel Dremmurr: "WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE! It's okay buddy, I'm Undertale trash too, but its okay xD, I'm so happy you love the story, chapters are coming just gimmie time to write them, as I'm normally quite busy. And thank you, if I sold the story, I'd give you a discount, be glad I'm not Burgerpants ;)"
Stormsgaming7: "you're sweet ;)"
Lawl: "Hello there fellow follower, thanks for keeping up with the story. I'm glad you like the way I did the feelings, I really wanted to show each characters opinions and make them feel more of a 3 dimensional character, and well technically they're 2 dimensional characters…pun intended."
Pweety Preety: "Another one of my followers! :D I actually did think about the use of Undertale fans, I might add something comedic into the story involving that fact. Good picking that up. And about your review last chapter….maybe I used a little easter egg ;)"
Reviews done! Another amazing amount, if you guys flood me even more, I dunno what I will do. But seriously, if you like it please leave your thoughts on it, I literally check for them every hour for 24+ hours after a chapter is out. Anyway, to the chapter!
Chapter 6: Merely a step in the wrong direction.
"What happened here?" Frisk says, walking outside with a horrified expression on her face.
"This is Chara's doing…" Michael murmurs, his fists clenched observing the destruction from all sides. Houses were on fire, bodies litter the streets, most of them officers with a few civilians and a viewable layer of smoke filled the air, Chara was purposely causing destruction for the mere fun of it.
"We need to find her…" Michael exclaims in a harsh tone, his teeth gritting with anger.
"Yeah kid, don't worry…We'll find her…" Sans replies, walking past him and patting him on the back, Michael smiles subtly as they pace down his porch steps towards the road. As they get to the side path, their eyes gaze down the road, more bodies and destruction lie there.
"How do we find her?" Michael said, looking down the road some more, trying to spot Chara.
"That may be a little harder" Gaster replied, as he pulls out a small device, the device consists of several different buttons and a screen with a flow of different blue bars that move up and down.
"He went that way." Gaster added, as Sans nods.
"Well let's head after him… Also I would teleport you guys to him, but I should save my powers for Chara" Sans pointed out, as they all nod, pacing down the road, following the destruction.
"You can do it…Come on little soul" Chara giggled. Her hand ready to grab the human soul that would come out of a man who went by the name of 'Lieutenant Becker' but to avail, the soul shattered and dissipated. "That's the 435th" sighed Chara, grabbing her knife and continuing to walk. "So Michael went to find that comedian and Frisk hmm? If only they had known what he did. They may pick up that old scientist, Gaster I believe his name was" Chara laughed, skipping down the highway, behind her was a military truck crashed and bodies were lying everywhere, including Lieutenant Becker.
"So who should I kill next? The army doesn't seem to have any men with determination…So who's next?" Chara asks herself, smiling. "Well I'm still getting EXP, so why not just kill everyone?" She giggles as she skips off to cause more suffering and horror.
"That's a big truck" Frisk murmurs, staring at the green and beige truck smashed against the high way barrier, they walk behind it to see bodies piled on the floor, all with slashes down the body. Guns lie there, fully loaded. Michael goes to grab one when Gaster's hand touches his arm.
"That's not going to work, Chara has too much determination. It won't harm her" Michael nods as Gaster kneels beside one of the soldiers, "This is very recent." He mumbles, as Sans looks down in anger
"This is what it felt like to discover the trails of dust when I was following Frisk" Sans admitted, making Frisk's face turn to sadness, she looks down, tears welling in her eyes.
"No, no, no kid, it wasn't you…It was her, she did that" Sans quickly blurted out while Michael blocks the voice out of his head. They stand up, and follow the trail Chara left, Michael looks down, feeling horrible.
"Hey could you pass the bag of Doritos" Lenny would ask, Daniel standing up and pacing over towards the counter top, he grabs the bag and chucks it at Lenny.
"Oh c'mon man, don't break all of them, it's hard to dip them when they're smashed" Daniel laughs as they sit down and switch the TV on. The usual news intro comes up and plays as the woman begins speaking. "Channel 7 news here, this is an emergency broadcast to all residents in the Hobart region a child wearing a stripy green and yellow shirt with mid-length brown hair and brown shorts has been walking around the streets of Hobart and from what my reports say 'brutally murdering' everything. If you're in the region, try evacuate, but some authorities suggest you hide. Upon seeing the child, many reports suggest the girls is dressed up as a character from the indie video game Undertale, but it's not confirmed. We strongly ask that you all stay away from the child, they are extremely dangerous"
The news stops into advertisements as Lenny and Daniel sit there, they're eyes widening in shock but also surprise all in one. "Chara?!" Lenny blurted, looking at Daniel who is also stunned. "Dude…I was literally playing Undertale about 5 minutes ago…" Daniel replies, shocked at the coincidence, his laptop sitting there with Frisk standing still at Waterfall as they start flicking through channels. In hopes to find more on the matter when a scream is heard outside.
"P-Please don't hur-"The voice is cut off with a scream and a slashing noise. Both Lenny and Daniel sit there in fear, shaking and looking at the door when Daniel points at the window, shaking.
"L-Lenny…The window" Lenny's eyes peer to the left, seeing a smiling child with a green and yellow stripy top at the window with a big bloodied knife. Chara waves slowly, as she lifts her knife, slashing through the window. The men scream, falling back in hopes to get distance.
"Oh c'mon you two, don't you want to play a fun little game?"
"W-why are you d-dressing up as Chara and doing this?" Lenny asks, Chara's eyes widen with confusion. "How did they know my name?" Chara asks herself when she notices the laptop, the LED screen is clear enough to see Frisk as it clicks.
"Oh…I see" She murmurs.
"W-what?" Lenny asks, scared out of his mind, as Chara dives forward, slicing Lenny, Daniel panics, darting back as he heads to the back door, bashing it open he runs out Chara stares up, chasing after him. Daniel sprints down through the back yard. As he heads to his fence, jumping up onto the top he suddenly feels a sharp slicing pain down the back of his leg as Chara is behind him, swinging her knife as she grabs him. "G-Get off of me!" He shouts, slamming a foot into Chara's face and falling back on the other side of the fence. He coughs and wheezes, landing on his back as he stands up.
"I'm sorry Lenny…" He sobs, limping away from the fence.
Chara stands back up, shaking her head as the wound heals quick. She turns around and paces inside. There lies and quickly bleeding out is Lenny; she walks over to him, putting the knife into his neck. He coughs up the blood in his throat as she watches the life drain from him. When he gives up resisting she pulls the knife out and brings it to her side as she takes a moment to observe the room. "Eh, the house a few blocks back was nicer…" She exhales as she notices the laptop.
"So, what is this?" She asks herself, grabbing the laptop and looking at the screen. There lies Frisk in the same location in Waterfall. She takes time to study the laptop and the game, she is familiar with the area the game is in as she starts fiddling with keys, seeing what each of them do when she comes across the arrow keys, she presses them as Frisk moves…
"This could work." She laughs, folding it and taking it with her.
"Help, Help me!" a shouting voice coming closer could be heard. Sans's head turns to the left as Michael stands there, getting ready for whatever comes.
"O-oh thank god peo-"The voice cuts off when they notice Gaster, Frisk and Sans. There stands a man with short brown hair and a shirt. Michael notices his back left leg is bleeding pretty heavily.
"W-wait…Aren't you Sans" Sans's eyes widen, now completely engaged in the man.
"A-And Frisk…And Gaster!" He adds, Frisk stands back slightly, shocked as Gaster places his hand on his face quietly murmuring to himself "Oh shit…"
"Wait…How do you know my name, kid?" Sans asks, but doesn't get a reply as a knife goes through this boy's body, behind stands Chara smiling with a rectangular object that upon closer inspection Michael notices it's a laptop.
"That's the 438th" She smirks, staring up at the gang.
"Hello there my dear friends." Chara smiles, Frisk's face forms into an angry expression as her fists clench
"You're going to have a very bad time, Chara"
"Oh not so fast comedian" Chara replies as quick as Sans says it.
"I have something to show you, my dear friends." Chara laughs, opening the laptop and sliding it to them, "Use the arrow keys to move" She adds, almost laughing so loud she chokes.
Both Sans's and Frisk's eyes widen in shock and disbelief when they notice what it is.
"Is…This a…Video game?"
"Heehee, on the mark Sans" Chara replies, Sans's eyes go black as Michael stands there in horror.
"You all don't seem to get it do you? You all call me the 'Evil' one, and the 'harbinger of destruction' and the one that ends it all. But it should all fall into place now…I'm not really the evil one. I merely pushed Frisk in the right direction so to speak. The one that not only controlled Frisk, fuelled my power…And better yet, reset the timelines was…" Chara murmurs, staring them down.
"Was you, Michael. You, the player caused all of this…"
In the corner of Michael's vision was Sans's eye glowing in a deep blue, looking at him…
And that's another chapter folks! I hope you enjoyed that change of plot, how do you feel? Knowing that when you do the genocide, you're the evil one? Heh, I'm just kidding, keep blaming Chara ;). Anyway guys, thanks for reading another chapter, I wanted to get this one out to you guys as I know how well the last chapter did. Anyway, just wanted to ask you guys something. I'm thinking about making a forum for Real Determination, an area I can chat to people about things in the story, and even out of the story. Consider it a way it could help form the story maybe xD. If you're up for it, just send me a quick PM saying if you'd like it, as I'd like to engage you guys a lot more and find out your opinions on my story and setting. Anyway, that's really all for today.
I hope you guys are having an amazing day or night, wherever you are!
Ciao!
~S0Quantum.
