A/N: Hello again ladies and Gents, it seems I'm back with a chapter even earlier than my old schedule, this is still me just trying to repay some of the longer readers some debt for having to wait, but obviously I must acknowledge the new readers and the great reviews and feedback you have all left me, I will try to reply via PM to all your messages! But in all honesty, thank you all for reading my story. I'm not an amazing writer, but I really wanted to write something I could be proud about, and have people enjoy. And you all do! So on that note, let's get onto Chapter 8.
Also, has anyone found my little Easter egg involving the chapters? If someone does, I'll let them choose a funny quirky line that one of characters will say (Just for something fun) on that note though, let's continue!
-Near danger.
'Wait…Hold up one second, what do you mean by that?' Michael would ask, directing the question at Gaster's idea to use the laptop to escape Chara.
'What I mean Michael is that we will open a temporary rift that will send us to this dimension on the screen, now this is just a basic dimension which is almost parallel to ours. Difference is that this could've had different events take place based on what the user did. Before we obtained this, but for now we need to start it anew'
'Whatcha mean, G' Sans would ask, coming closer to Gaster as the tall slender man would turn around, opening and closing UNDERTALE as the screen would come up both Frisk and Sans would look surprised as they see the "Continue" and "Reset" button.
'Wait, this is where it could all restart again?' Sans would ask, as Gaster would nod.
'Indeed Sans, although there's some drawbacks. If someone is greatly evil and awakens Chara in their universe, resetting will get rid of everything but her. In turn, having her block your path to what these people call a "True Pacifist Run", she taints the "game" secretly everywhere. Although normally that's all she's meant to do, Instead Michael must've damaged some inter-dimensional rules when he was debugging the game, meaning she was able to use DETERMINATION to get through… Anyway, I'm sorry I got a bit carried away, we can talk about this later on, okay?' Gaster exhales, as he pulls out the portal device and it opens a rift, as he goes to step in his head flicks around 'Also you three, although this universe is parallel, it's still not OUR universe, please try not to get spotted by your counterpart. And if you get spotted by anyone else, be yourself…Literally.' Gaster jumps through, as does the rest of the gang as the same sci-fi looking images fly past at incredible speeds. As Michael is smiling at the amazing view of different worlds, he hears Gaster distantly say 'There's some problems with the universal link, we may get split up. If we do, act normal…And for the two humans, get a coat or something!' Michael nods to himself as in an almost instant second, he's lying on the floor gripping his head. 'Ouch, that hurt like hell'.
.:Back in the Real World:.
'Where did you go Michael?!' Chara would shout, not feeling his determination as it would instantly disappear from her mind. 'He's gone back into the other world…Huh?' She would giggle, as she would skip towards the general direction of Michael's house, as rain would start to slowly pour 'Ohh, a way to wash off all the blood 'She would say, humming a tune.
She would arrive at Michael's house, walking into the house and down the hall way and into his room as she would look at the computer. 'Now you must be in here, right?' She snickers and she slices with her knife in the air, as the rift would open and she walks in. Arriving on the screen a few seconds later
'Now where are you Michael?' She would ask, now getting slightly annoyed as she grips her knife tightly. 'Fine…The comedian and that scientist wants to throw me for a loop…I guess I will just have to make my own way!' She screams loudly, slicing her knife in the air, causing another rift. 'Even if I have to go through every little dimension to find you' Chara murmurs softly, walking through.
.: Michael :.
As Michael would stand, he his eyes would gaze around him and notice the walls are dark purple with shiny little crystals inside. 'Is this the waterfall region?' he would ask himself as he would flick his hoodie over his head, trying to keep concealed. As he would continue to walk to the left, in hopes to get to Snowdin. Knowing Sans and Gaster would probably be there. As Michael walks around the corner he in instantly approached by a massive Seahorse 'Oh no…Not Aaron' Michael would sigh as Aaron exclaimed 'Hey there, want to see my muscles?' As he would wink
'No thanks, Aaron, I'm busy' Michael replies, trying to walk around him as Aaron blocks his path.
'Nobody's too busy for my muscles cutie, besides you look like you've got some too' Aaron would continue on 'But obviously not as good as mine'.
Michael thinks for a moment, he only knew one way of getting rid of Aaron 'fine, let's do this'
Aaron swings a punch at Michael as he jumps back, he lifts up his arms and flexes them. Not much muscle is there, but he still shows off none the less.
'ohh, nice flexing there cutie, didn't realize you was challenging me to a flex-off' Aaron winks as he flexes, his muscles bulging.
'You call that a flex?' Michael brags, as he flexes slightly harder, again nothing really showing off. But Aaron's eyes bulge almost as much as his muscles.
'ohh that's sexy, my turn' Aaron would smirk as he closes his eyes and strikes a pose, as he flexes as hard as he could. Michael quickly sneaks past him as he continues to flex, upon opening his eyes he laughs 'How was that ba-' Aaron looks around for Michael but to no avail he is nowhere to be seen.
'Man that guy is so weird.' Michael sighs, reaching the little guard post near the start of the Waterfall. Sans is standing behind it doing nothing as usual, Michael goes to walk out to greet him but stops himself.
'That won't be the Sans I know'
'You're exactly right there…buddy'
Michael turns around in shock to see Sans standing there. Sans laughs at Michaels wide eye look.
'Relax bud. It's me, don't worry. I see you've got a bit of a roadblock there, if other me sees you. He may kill you but don't worry. You've got me on your side…I know a shortcut around him' Sans turns around and walks back the way Michael came, as he grabs Michaels arm. Suddenly in a blink of an eye they're both in front of the Waterfall entrance with snow falling on Michael.
'That was a close one, amiright Michael?' Sans laughs as Michael nods 'Have you see Gaster and Frisk yet?'
'Yeah, they're both at Grillby's. Frisk is hiding behind a lamp, and Gaster's got a hood over him. Let's go there bud' He pats Michael's back firmly as they both motion over to the entrance of Snowdin Town. Both of them pace over to Grillby's before they enter they hear a loud 'SAAAAANNNNNSSSS' from across the town, both Michael and Sans eyes divert in the direction to see Papyrus running over.
'Sans, why haven't you gone over for your shift at the door entrance, If a human comes through, we must be ready and catch them there annnnnnnnnn' Papyrus looks at Michael, Michael looks at Papyrus, and Papyrus continues to look at Michael, as he leans over and whispers into Sans ear.
'S-S-Sans, is that a h-human?!'
'This guy….?' Sans points at Michael as Michael's head looks down slightly
'Of course this guy Sans!'
'Of course he isn't, he's just wearing the outfit for Halloween!' Sans rubs his head, as Papyrus stares at him for a second.
'Of course Sans, that's a really good outfit I must say although sadly not as good as my Halloween costume though' He taps his armor as he turns around and strolls away, pacing past the Christmas Tree.
'Did he just believe that?'
'Don't question it kid' Sans snaps back instantly as they walk inside. Sans waves a Grillby as they sit next to Gaster and Frisk who has a big leather cloak on.
'Okay G, what's the plan?'
'Well guys, whilst I waited for you all here. I did some research on Chara. It seems due to her DETERMINATION off of Frisk, even Michael can't stop her. We will need someone else.'
'Couldn't we just get a Frisk who has become a true pacifist in another universe?' Michael would ask, as Frisk would nod. Sans would stand up and go over to Grillby and grab some Ketchup.
'See, that's the thing, we can't screw with other Timelines as yours is considered the "main one" currently due to Chara's activity. We would ultimately need to get someone from your universe to help us.' Gaster would sigh.
'And how do we suppose we do that? It was only a one off that I got my SOUL out, how would we get anyone else? The world is practically filled with undetermined people in that sense.'
'That's a good question…I wouldn't know yet, all I know is that we need to find a way to lose Chara's tail as we do this, so I suggest we go into other timelines to confuse our tail. But for now we'll get some rest for tonight as you all look pretty tired, also two things guys. Number one is that we don't mess with this timeline whatsoever, Frisk is currently in the ruins with Toriel and I'd prefer we let the timeline flow smoothly, as interrupting can cause some pretty extreme problems, secondly when we go into other timelines, they could be different. Different world, characters and even swapped personalities, so when we leave. You guys will need to stay on your toes.' The other three nod as Sans smiles
'You two can stay at my place tonight, it might be a good place to rest. .. On second thought, other me will be there soon. We might want to find another place to rest' Sans would sigh, as Gaster would reply
'Stay at my lab, it should be good enough for now.' Sans would grab onto Frisk and Michael and teleport there, as Michael collapses on the couch.
'I'm so tired' He murmurs into the couch, almost inaudible. Frisk comes and lies next to him as they both fall asleep.
'Sleep well, you two' Sans whispers as he goes and sits down in Gasters work chair. As he would drift off to sleep, as Gaster would later appear in the lab to see Sans snoring and Frisk and Michael nicely coiled up on the couch, he would go to his bedroom and lie down and drift off. It was good for the gang to have a small rest. As an impending nightmare is bound to soon rise.
Hello you guys, sorry if this chapter has some mistakes I didn't see, it's 4 am now but I really wanted to write a chapter. And yes you read right, there's going to be a new character sometime soon, but who could it be? Could it be some random, could it be you..? Who knows? We'll see what will come up. On that note thank you all for reading this chapter. I'll get another out in maybe the next few days or next week, depending on my schedule. But I digress, I'm tired and I wish you all a great day or night wherever you are. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
