Helooooo Internet!
Today is the day, the big one-oh, every tenth chapter I will replace a character with another, and this time, it's... *notices it's the eleventh chapter* wait... I dun fucked up...
It doesn't matter, were still replacing napstablook, and I'm gonna write a rather large introduction on it (basically a one-shot), oh, who is it you ask? Just wait and see... (It's chara)
Anyway, onto the story!
It was a quiet night in the household, no one was kept awake by situations, the monsters + 2 humans were actually getting sleep, real sleep. Except there was a tiny, and I mean real tiny problem, not significant at all, just that one of the humans in the house was holding a sociopathic, homicidal, long dead child spirit in there soul, and that child was about to wake up...
Despite it being a quiet night, frisk was squirming, like she was experiencing a nightmare, it wasn't long before we eyes opened, yes, opened, to reveal ruby-red eyes, a dead giveaway that something was wrong...
"Hmm..? Oh, I am awake, how convenient"
'Frisk' got out of bed, getting changed into something more warm, Chara had a plan, and it involved Alphys' experiments,
"What? You think you can stop me frisk? It's too late for that now" Chara seeming responded to a voice in her head, she remembered when she was in that situation, trapped in the head of an overly pacifist head, at first it wasn't too bad, but it was when they started taking a bad path that they really began to enjoy it.
'Frisk' walked down the stairs to the front door, silently opening it, a blast of chilly air hit there face, it's been ages since Chara has felt cold surface air, it felt liberating, and only fueled there DETERMINATION more. The two started there walk to Mt. Ebbot, thankfully not too far from the house.
"You see frisk, this is what happens when you sell souls, I hope this has taught you a lesson... What, no, I have no intention in harming your friends, well, except that human friend of yours, he could die"
Chara never wanted to harm monsters, it was the only way to move forward, to get to the humans, the things Chara truly hated, it was her goal from the very start, fusing with Asriel, to kill humans, genocide, to get to the humans, and this act, would be the pinnacle of her efforts, when she finally has her own body, she will be free to kill whomever she chooses, and that control-freak of a human will be first...
Not long after that remark, the duo reached the base of Mt. Ebbot, just above them was the entrance into the mountain, the same place the monsters left, almost there...
"Oh, don't worry, you will gain control of your own body soon enough, but don't go thinking you can stop me, if this goes correctly, I will take all of my LV with me, keeping my power" Chara 'reassured' the mere voice inside there head, it was going to be simple enough, Alphys, without realizing, was working on a solution years before now;
When her creations began to 'create', Alphys tried to create a soul 'separation' machine, capable of, well, separating souls. Unfortunately, monster souls were still too weak for such a simple procedure, and since then, the machine was never used, until today, when it would be put to the test.
After walking through Hotland for a while they found the lab, the outside was gritty, paint peeling, windows cracked from irregular heat, looks like someone forgot to turn off the air con.
The inside was worse, dust was everywhere, the fridge had been hastily emptied, cracked instanoodles and soda was strewn across the floor, thankfully the elevator worked, so they descended into the True Lab...
After such a long walk, they made it, the DT extraction room, walking up to the left side of the machine, Chara interacted with the wall, an entrance appearing almost instantly, the room smelt borderline metallic, like machinery has been rotting in this room for years, exactly as planned, Chara tapped the monitor on the machine, then typing in a PIN number, bringing up a screen of green words and code, glass doors opened beside the machine, revealing a dirty aluminum chamber, assuming that this was the right way to go, Chara entered and pressed a button inside the chamber, causing the doors to close and a loud computer to begin humming,
"Oh, do not panic, I will try not to harm your little friends, all I want is the death of humanity, revenge after how they treated me after all those years, in fact, I am in a good mood, join me, and together we can wipe out humanity for good, and achieve our true purpose... Power... ... ... Hmm? Is that a no? I should have figured, after all, since when were you the OnE iN cHaRgE?" On that note, Chara slammed another button, causing blinding white light to fill the chamber, the light bringing Chara to their knees, before passing out...
Josho household - 9:30
"We'll return to 'That's Mettaton!' after these MTT approved messages"
It was again a quiet morning at the household, everyone was lazing around, watching reruns of 'That's Mettaton!', life was ok, until Toriel found out why frisk wasn't coming down for breakfast,
"Yes, yes, she has... Um... Brown hair, her eyes... Um... H-her eyes are... K-kind of hard to see..." Tories stutters into the phone, she looked distraught,
"aw man, poor tori, she's a wreck"
"Yes, such a shame, why morn when you could be watching me on tv!" Mettaton said, trying to cheer up Toriel despite him being a self-centered jerk.
At that moment, the doorbell rang,
"Should I get it? Its probably the police" Josho offered, not waiting for an answer he got up from the couch and walked to the door,
'Wait, what if it isn't the police? What if it's a psychopathic serial killer on the run? Nah, that's crazy' Josho thought to himself as he grabbed the door handle and opened the door...
Standing in front of him was a child, no, a young teenager, wearing a dusty yellow any green sweater and dark brown jeans, she wore a large unsettling smile which put Josho on edge a bit, who is this? They look similar to frisk, maybe she's a friend from school, better ask,
"...can I help you?"
"You must be Josho, correct?" The young woman responded,
"Uh yep, that's me, were you looking for frisk or..."
It all happened too quickly, the teenager pulled a kitchen knife out from her pocked and thrusts it towards Josho's chest, reflexes kicked in as Josho retaliated, summoning his signature red and black sword and blocking the knife, pushing the knife down to the girls side, the aim was to disarm her, but she had an iron grip on that knife.
For two seconds thy just stared at each other, Josho's eyes fading from blue to purple as his magic grew stronger,
"Oh, I see... You are a Mage, aren't you" the girl said, breaking the silence,
"A descendant, yes, please explain why you tried to kill me" Josho retorted,
"You wouldn't understand, what you need to know is that today, humanity will fall"
In that note, Chara pulled the knife back and positioned it for another strike, using the opportunity, Josho raised his sword and slashed at the open chest area. Chara flew back several meters, seemingly writhing in pain, before immediately getting back up, her unnerving smile still there, creepy as ever...
"heya, what's happenin?" Sans said, walking out onto the front lawn
"Oh thank god your here sans, I heard from frisk that your a great fighter, and... I really need your help" Josho explained, pointing to the child,
"hang on... woah, lv 20, they must've slaughtered an entire monster civilization for that"
"Why do you say that?"
"just a hunch..."
"Um... Never mind, just, help..." Josho parried another knife slash, leaving sans to stare at the kind of cool fight,
"Well, what are you waiting for? DO SOMETHING!" Josho yelled at the half asleep skeleton,
"fine" sans moaned, he shuffled his stance a little, before holding his hand out to the furious child, immediately Chara stopped moving.
"What..? Who did this?" Chara attempted to yell, "...oh, it's the smiley trashbag"
"nice to see you too kiddo, now, where were we..." Sans flung his hand down to the ground, resulting in Chara being slammed into the ground also, he then fling his hand to his left, towards the house, causing the immobile serial killer to slam into the brick wall, cracks erupting from the brittle bricks,
"Oh come on, don't destroy the house" Josho warned,
"what do you prefer, a house, or a life?" Sans answered, before swiping his hand back to the ground, where Chara was released from the magical grip, blood and bruises all over her body...
Josho walked over to the 3rd human, standing triumphantly over her, demanding answers,
"Since I fell like you know, what have you done to frisk?"
"That pacifist hasn't been harmed, but I doubt you'll find her anytime soon"
"You will tell me, or..." Josho summoned his .44 pistol, a silver gun with a sweet synthetic oak grip, and held it at the demoness,
"You wouldn't, you don't have the guts..." Chara taunted the 2nd human, his grip shaking, "yeah, you know you can't harm another being, no matter how tough or cool you think you are, your still nothing. If you think you can barge into other people's lives, act all cool and funny, and expect people to like you, well your wrong. I've seen it all through Frisks eyes, you..."
"Alright that's it!" Josho interrupted Chara's little speech, pulling back the hammer, he prepared to let loose a shot, but Chara had other ideas, pulling out a second knife, she thrusted it forward, directly through Josho's leg.
The sudden burst of pain rippled through Josho's body, causing him to fire into the air, the recoil pushing him onto his back. The pistol disappeared as he grabbed the wound, feeling the cold metal stuck through his body like a hot knife through butter, "oh... kay, that was a little uncalled for... Holy crap that hurts..."
Sans snapped out of his daydream to catch sight of the brutal attack, as Josho lay on the ground, close to passing out, Chara stood up, brushing off the dust and blood from her jumper. sans felt something he could have only felt in another timeline, primal anger. His eye sparked a bright yellow and blue as he again picked up the murderous human and slammed them into the ground, bringing them closer to his face,
"i would say a few things now..." Sans's eyes blacked out, "But I'm Sure You've Heard It Before" Sans summoned a pit of bones underneath Chara, fear coursing through her veins,
"geeeeeeeettttttttt dunked..."
"WAIT!" A human voice yelled from the sidewalk, it was frisk, "please, whatever you do, don't hurt them!"
"woah, kid your back!" Dropping Chara next to the pit sans ran over to frisk and gave his signature uncle bear hug, "it's... great to see you again, tori'll be so happy"
"Thanks sans..." Frisk pulled out of the hug, turning to Chara, "But I need to do something first"
Frisk walked over to the beaten up human, smile only just fading,
Act - Talk
You ask Chara why she hates humanity
"...Oh, it's you, what have you come here for? To rub your friends victory in my face? To humiliate me any further? I don't think you deserve an answer..."
You ask again
"It's a long story, no one would understand..."
You ask again
"*sigh*... If you really want to know, I won't stop you...
...humans, they took everything I loved away from me, they killed my parents, took our possessions, kills our livestock, without family, what is the purpose of life? I'm sure you know why I climbed mount ebbot. But instead of what I hoped would happen, I got a family, I got a brother, I got friends. But all I wanted in the end was to get on even levels with my kind, and I thought I could do it... But I was wrong, about humanity I mean, you showed me another side, a side that isn't greedy or murderous, by trying to get on even terms... I was becoming one of them..."
SAVE
2 hours later...
Everyone was in the house, recovering, the atmosphere was tense, as a lot of mistrust was still in the air, thankfully the only brings with injury was Chara and Josho, who, unfortunately we're in the same room as each other as they recovered.
"Ah, good morning psychopath" Josho said to the bed next to him, where a heavily bruised and broken Chara lay,
"You know, I did apologize, you don't have to be so passive-aggressive with me"
"Well I'm sorry, it's a little hard to forgive someone after they stab you in the leg"
"That was a regrettable mistake, I should have been able to kill you on the spot"
"Oh hardy ha har, very funny, I'm definitely feeling your sociopathic humor"
The room was silent for a little while, before Chara spoke up again,
"I don't care if you accept my apology or not, I'm still going to say it again, all of this was a rushed conclusion, killing everyone was never the answer in the first place, I just wish I had done that with asriel..."
"Huh, you really like that goatkid, don't you?" Josho questioned,
"He was a great brother and partner-in-crime, yes"
"Well, what if it told you that he was in this house? Just... well... not as a boss monster"
"That... would be comforting"
"Oh by the way you are now officially #10 in the house Situation Games, prepare yourself for some crazy shenanigans!"
"Wait, what did you just say..?"
