Now that Undertale has become less of a tidal wave, there's a lot of good stuff lying around. Best thing to do with trends, swim under the wave and check out the remains. For instance, ever heard of Undertale the Musical? It's great, Papyrus makes a mixtape~ Undyne does a number, Mettaton raps, 10/10. Anyway, let's continue
Chapter 16
"Have you all prepared?" Gaster asked as everyone had returned.
"Yup" Sans said holding a bottle of ketchup in his right hand.
"Drinking already?"
"Everythings more fun this way." Sans replied.
"...how do you drink?" Mary asked staring at Sans' stomach, before lifting his shirt up. There was literally nothing but bones, spine and ribs. "What?!"
"Magic kid, Magic."
"Ahem" Gaster cut in. "now that everyone's ready for death, let's begin"
The seven floating hands, each containing fragments of the seven SOULs' power glew once again. White cracks within the black wall spread to every inch of it.
*crash*
The wall fell to pieces and disintegrated. The wall was completely gone like it didn't even exist.
"Let's go"
Of course, there wasn't anything else the judgement hall which meant that Chara was most likely at the barrier since that was where they reset. This speculation was correct. In front of the Barrier, was Chara back turned.
the moment Chara turned around, the battle sequence started. Chara's eyes were empty with black viscous liquid streaming out and dripping to the ground.
"So, you came." Chara said smiling creepily. "Now that you're here with me, I'm gonna kill you all."
Chara attacked first, swinging their knife at Sans, but was blocked by bones in a cross shape.
-Act
-talk
-Chara didn't respond
"Let's try this." Chara said. Five black tendrils sprouted from their back and created five identical shapes. the tendrils disappeared leaving the five levitating black knives. The knives fired out, cutting through Sans' defense like butter. After the knives collided with the ground behind, they instantly disappeared.
"Not done yet."
Twelve more knifes appeared and flew in curved patterns but still targeted Sans. Sans teleported out of the way, but the knives curved around like guided missiles and pursued Sans.
"Oh boy," Sans said trying to avoid the weapons. The knives were faster than Sans, but luckily for him, a green dome manifested and negated the attack. Gaster's green hand defended the skeleton from harm.
"Time for a counter attack, children, stay behind me and Sans." Gaster said before teleporting forward. The yellow hand fired out multiple shots aimed at Chara. Each one was dodged, Chara was no stranger to danger, nor new to combat. The bullets flew slower than Sans' bones did. The bullets continued to fire until Chara threw their actual knife at the hand firing them, shattering it into dust.
"Rg," Gaster flinched in pain. "That's gonna take hours to reform."
In the place of the yellow hand, a blue, aqua, and orange hand stepped forward. (I did not know, until 8:36 PM on 12/19/16, that indigo is more purple and not light blue. Kill me)
"Hah, if seven's all you got then your screwed tall bag of bones" Chara taunted.
On cue, a single gaster blaster was summoned above the three hands. However, this blaster was at twice as large as the ones Sans uses
"Who do you think made these?"
"Heh, I can't even beat this guy" Sans said tilting his eyes towards his fellow skeleton.
The hand blinked, and Chara was pulled towards Gaster who readied the next part of his attack., the aqua blinked, a pair of wheels made of knives spun like disks before flying towards Chara. But regardless of which direction they were going, it didn't really change things. The two blue sharp disks were caught in the center like rings and tossed to the side, on top of that, there wasn't any time to change gravity, momentum a B*tch like that.
*Slash*
9999999999
Gaster was struck down with a large cut diagonally across his chest. He and his hands were dusted instantly, but not before uttering "Wonderful" in a sarcastic tone.
"Who's next?" Chara asked with a crooked jagged smile. They threw a real knife at Mary which struck in seconds, to quick for the others to react.
0
"What?" everyone thought.
"Nothing you can do is gonna hurt me." she declared. She alone was immune to damage even as great as Chara's knives. "We're gonna stop this and save you."
Chara's smile faltered for a second. Replaced by low distorted giggling.
"Y-you think, I? I need saving. Hah! You are slow aren't you. Stop me? I'm not the bad guy you know. I'm sure by now you've heard about what the genocide routes were, but guess what? I didn't start that! I never started anything! The first time this all started, when Frisk first gained EXP, that was ALL them. I didn't even suggest doing it. It was all their curiosity and none of mine. All I did was erase the empty world and offered to bring everything back. Now you go against me? I'm evil right? Tell them I'm wrong Frisk. Tell them I made you push FIGHT, that I'm really evil."
Frisk was silent. Sans frowned, he too knew this fact. Ib and Mary now knew as well.
"C'mon partner, let everyone know how many times you have reset. Normal and true. How often did you take away that oh so perfect happy ending just because of your selfish wants to stay with everyone. Sans must really hate you. I can't even begin to imagine how he doesn't just kill you the moment you step out of the ruins and break the barrier with the other SOULs."
And three more knives were thrown, but only hitting two. Sans dodged, but Ib and Frisk were hit; Ib in the leg and Frisk in the heart, they were defeated instantly.
GAME OVER
Get out of here
Frisk could use this short time to think of what to do now. There wasn't any rush, what dead person was rushing to do anything. The question was, how to win? Since Frisk was not that clever type, they pressed RESET.very soon.
The world reset to the start of the battle. With a quick scan of the room, it seemed everyone was aware that a reset had occurred.
"Come back to die again?" Chara taunted before sprinting forward. Sans summoned countless blasters that surrounded Chara. They fired, each blaster and the one across from it would fire simultaneously creating a merry-go-round of blinding magic lasers. This attack was used before, the best way to avoid was stay next to the center where the beams intersected and in doing so, Chara was unharmed.
"You're too predictable" both Gaster and Chara noted. "Honestly, this is why you make backup plans" Gaster alone said.
"Yeah, but not all of us prepare for falling into the void." he rebuttaled..
It wasn't time for banter, it was Chara's turn. Dozens of black knife constructs appeared and fired at Gaster.
"Fine, I'll just have to do this." all of the seven hands blinked, those that weren't green turned green. Seven shields condensed together, tanking every knife flung at it. Not a single scratch on the translucent green dome could be seen.
"This is the power of monster." he declared before all of the then green hands blinked yellow. Volleys of yellow bullets bombarded Chara, too many to dodge. However, considering Chara was at lvl 20 and had maximum stats, and Gaster didn't have "Karmic Retribution" like Sans did, the bullets that did hit only sustained only five HP of damage.
"Really now? Well, heh, this is the power of a human filled with HATE." Chara responded. Nearly a hundred black knives appeared, coalescing into one massive blade hovering above them. The seven hands blinked purple. 35 horizontal purple lines stood between the them and Chara's massive weapon.
*slash
The blade effortlessly cut through the defense, and was aiming straight for Gaster. Sans teleported in front of his friend in the hopes of taking the hit to save him. He closed his eyes and prepared for the sting of pain that would surely follow. But, it did not happen.
The blade was dropped but crashed into some red substance and evaporated. Frisk and Ib stood to the side with their SOULs in their hands glowing furiously. two large red shields hovered above the two skeletons.
"...Nice job kids," Sans complimented.
"Thanks,"
"Thanks," Frisk and Ib said back.
"What do we do?" Ib asked. "How do we help Chara?"
"Don't think we can," Sans said with his eyelids lowered.
"That can't be it, Chara is a good person, they just don't have a SOUL anymore like Flowey, we need to help them." Frisk demanded.
"Believe me, I'd like nothing more than for a happy ending, but I couldn't do anything. I have no idea how to save them."
"I have an idea" Mary said clenching her fists. Suddenly, a boom of sound rushed through the room, cracks left where Mary was. She leapt off the floor towards Chara catching them off guard. Mary opened her arms and clung tightly to her friend.
"Wh-what are you doing!? GET OFF!" Chara shouted trying to pry the girl off of them.
"No, I'm taking that HATE outta ya"
When Mary jumped onto Chara, a black SOUL revealed itself at the center of Chara's chest, little by little, it lost it's shape as it flowed into Mary, but once it just barely touched her hands, Mary was ripped off of Chara with a shockwave.
"Oof" Mary let out hitting the floor.
"Child, what was that?" Gaster asked confused.
"W-when I…" Mary began, "When I jumped onto them, I felt something inside. I felt like I had a third arm grabbing something cold. I pulled on it, that must have been what's causing Chara to go nuts."
"Hm~, perhaps there may be a way." Gaster concluded. "We need to restrain the child so we can try again."
"Let's do this G." Sans said activating his magic eye.
"Indeed," Gaster's left eye glew blue as well.
"Heh, if only Papy was here, we could be the Skele-trio."
"Please no puns right now Sans."
The hands blinked blue as well.
The power of two of the most powerful magic users in the underground put two hundred percent into their next move. Chara's entire body turned blue as they were forced down faster than ever before. Just that alone caused 13 HP loss.
"Hurry, we can't keep this hold for long." Gaster commanded.
"Right!"
The children rushed over to the pinned kid and prepared an attempt to extract the HATE. once again the black SOUL-like object appeared and the three grabbed it altogether. Chara was writhing in pain as the object was split into three thick streams of blackness.
"I-It's working" Ib alerted everyone.
It would seem that she spoke to soon, after about half of the hate had been removed,another shockwave hurled the three from their position as well as disabling the magic holding Chara.
"This can't be good," Sans chuckled weakly.
"There's… just, too much HATE." Frisk analyzed.
"That" Chara started to say as they wobbled back up to their feet. "Was a nice try, but you won't stop ME from…" there was a flicker. Like a sudden glitch in a computer, Chara's face, which looked like a mix between Omega Flowey's smile and Chara's jumpscare eyes, suddenly flashed their normal, crying, face. Everybody noticed this, perhaps there was hope.
"Ahem, as I was saying, now that you broke that wall I so graciously made to warn you. I'm going to kill you all and erase it all."
A large button poofed out of thin air behind Chara's hand. In large letters, just like the reset button, was the word "ERASE".
"But, I can't push this button alone, I need more power. I am going to need the human souls."
Because of the shockwave's sudden and great force, Ib, Mary, and Frisk struggled to stand up. Sans was too tired to continue, and Gaster' hands bursted from strain.
"No you're not Chara" a new voice declared.
Everyone looked at the entrance, there stood Asriel Dreemurr, Chara's best friend and sibling. He was not alone. To his sides were Toriel and Asgore. The three stepped in, and behind them entered more monsters. Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Napstablook, Ms. Muffet, every single monster they had encountered and befriended in their travels; Dogs, Spiders, guards of unknown species, moldsmals, froggits, whismurs, ghosts, monster kid, everyone. Including Mary and Ib, they all shared their powers and energy with the child of prophecy.
The HP Frisk, not only was restored, but it was expanded. Despite not gaining lv. Their health ascended to 99 each.

"Grr!" Chara growled in anger. "Just die!" they said lunging at Frisk hoping to take them out with one shot. Unfortunately for Chara, Frisk caught the knife barehanded. Frisk, with a leap, took Chara into the air creating a large sphere cycling through the seven colors of the rainbow; Purple, blue, aqua, green, yellow, orange, and red . Too thick to penetrate and to see through.
Toriel: "My children, Please come back safe"
Napstablook: "I… know you, can win…"
Sans: "Good luck kid"
Papyrus: "Human! I believe in you!"
Monster Kid: "don't lose your cool dude!"
Undyne: "Kid, don't you dare lose"
Alphys: "I-I think you can do this"
Mettaton: "Give them a marvelous show"
Asgore: "Don't give up. Stay determined"
Asriel: "Bring Chara back"
Gaster: "child, don't die."
"Go... Frisk" everyone said in unison.
Within the magic orb hovering a meter off of the ground, was but a dark vast plain. Frisk and Chara. Chara, while not physically restrained, was unable to move a muscle within the sphere.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Chara snapped at Frisk.
"In here, HATE fades. We're going to save you."
"..." Chara hung their head down, and started giggling.
"Heheheh, hah! What a joke, you think I can lose? To a pipsqueak like you? I'm not just going to give up and be all happy go lucky like you Frisk. After all, I am what you made me. I'm your sins. y-"
"I know" Frisk cut Chara off. "I know you are a good person. You tried to do what Asgore didn't want to do. You sacrificed yourself and tried to go to the surface and get seven SOULs. But it failed and years later… I killed. I'm not going to deny it Chara. I just want to move on, with everyone including you."
"..." Chara was silent. They blinked once more, shifting from demonic to human and demonic again.
"A lot of people care about you Chara, I do, Mary, Ib, Toriel, Asogre, Asriel, every monster cares. Nobody wants you to be alone."
"Oh shut up Frisk. How could you speak for so many? How are you so sure anyway? No, they love you. Barely any of them has ever even heard of me, let alone my own name. What are you? Some monster?"
A third person stepped in.
"No, but I am"
Asriel had somehow entered the sphere made out of pure "love", Frisk didn't know and neither did Chara care how he did so though.
"A-Asriel, how did you get in here?" Frisk asked smiling.
Ariel raised his hand, and formed his own SOUL. a SOUL with all seven traits. Six from when he merged and the seventh from when the world was reset.
"I too have love Frisk… Chara" he said turning his attention to his old best friend. "Please, this is pointless for for any of us to fight."
"Asriel, it seems like you've forgotten. Frisk and I killed you remember?"
"I know, but that time was a different time. This isn't the real you Chara."
"And how would you kno-"
"Because I've seen your SOUL" Asriel said showing a red SOUL under his shirt. "And I know you're still in there Chara. I was still me even as a flower. You are too, you still have that locket." Asriel pointed to a golden colored necklace around Chara's neck, shaped and designed identical to the one Asriel owned.
"We're still best friends."
Another blink, and then another. Chara's face and mind were shifting rapidly.
"No, stay away Asriel." Chara said looking down and shaking.
"Frisk, let's do it." Asriel said. Frisk nodded, grabbing Asriel's left hand and sharing hold of Chara's SOUL while inputting their own powers. The dark red SOUL floated towards Chara, phasing through their body and into them. One last flicker passed. Chara was returned to their true state, albeit with some elements of Frisk, Asriel, and six other emotions.
The sphere started to crumble. Chunk by chunk the object broke into pieces and evaporated into the air.
Three people emerged from the fragments; Frisk, Asriel, and Chara. Smiles arose from everyone's faces. The king and queen rushed to their once dead children with arms wide open. The three kids were enveloped by their large arms. It had been a long time since Chara felt something like this. Once the hugs were done, Chara and Asriel stood directly in front of the barrier.
"Let's take this thing down."
