Hello and thank you all for reading my fanfic Final Tale. Just some heads up within this fic that I wasn't able to put in within this fic.
1. First of all in this fic, Wingdings Gaster also known as W.D Gaster is going to be the father of both Sans and Papyrus(it's just how I see it).
2. Second, the new child, also known as "_"(For some reason FanFiction is just making it one underline and I can't change it...) is suppose to be a placeholder for you, as in the reader, to put your name down for them or any kind of name you want.
3. Third, this fic will also introduce several new SOULS as well which will go into depth later.
4. Fourth, as you may have known there is another entity at work here and will be elaborated on later in the chapters.
Finally I would like to express my thanks to the readers whom have put down a comment for my story.
UndertaleBigFan1: Thank you so much for putting down a comment as it really helps me a lot. As for a picture of "_," I don't feel like I have the greatest of talents right now but if someone would like to do artwork of them they are more than happy to do it. However I will try my hand on making a piece of art maybe in the future.
Grillby was busily wiping away at some of the table and counter tops with a rag, getting himself ready to open up shop soon. However this morning was particularly interesting as he turned around to gaze at one of his customers whom was already sitting at the bar counter. Usually he wouldn't allow anyone in until he was fully finished with his preparations but when the smaller skeleton showed up with a down trodden look, Grillby couldn't help but feel something was off. So he allowed Sans to stay while he prepped up the pub before opening it for the day.
Sans on the other hand was downing his second bottle of ketchup and slowly placed it back down on the table top while heaving out a tired sigh. He had wished so much, believed that everything was over for him. Especially since Frisk had freed them all and they were well associated into human society on the surface. Letting out a low chuckle to himself it was only wishful thinking that he and the rest of the monsters would ever have a life up on the surface. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be... Like every other RESET that has happened to him.
"Sans..." a whisper of a breathed out, causing the smaller skeleton to slowly turn and look up at the fire elemental.
"uh... what's up grillby?" Sans spoke up as he put on a smile as he stared up at the other monster whom merely gazed back at him with the gentle cracks and popping sounds of flicking flames sounding around them.
"Are you okay Sans?" Grillby finally asked after a long while, noticing San's slightly faltering smile before the skeleton brought his grin on upwards again.
"nah, i'm good grillby, just startin a little early before my shift and hey, what's that look for?" Sans mused with one eye socket closed before taking one last swig of the ketchup.
Grillby however could see the hesitation radiating off from the smaller skeleton before Sans placed the condiment back down on the counter top and let out a satisfying sigh.
"Sans-"
"sorry grillby. i wanna stay and chat but i got to be at my post or i'll get it from my bro. ya know how it is," Sans cut the fire elemental off with a shrug of his shoulders before he hopped off of the bar stool and made his way out of the pub. "um... thanks for letting me hang out before opening up shop," Sans said aloud, without turning around to look at the fire monster.
Without another word said the two of them, Sans was out the door and into the cold of Snowdin. Grillby however watched the small skeleton leave and glanced back to where Sans had sat just prior. The fire elemental made his way on over to clean up and noticed several gold placed there. Usually Sans never paid for anything he ordered, he would usually put it on his ever growing tab, which was eventually paid for sooner or later.
"Be safe," Grillby whispered to his friend before turning back to his duties.
Sans stood outside of Grillby's and heaved out a tired sigh, allowing his shoulders to slump. He had thought that after a few ketchup bottles it'll him out. As usual they did nothing for him and the small skeleton merely shoved his hands into his pockets and was just about to walk off before he felt something. Stopping in his tracks, Sans looked around Snowdin and saw nothing in particular. There were no monsters out and about as it was much too early, so what was this eerie feeling he had, as if something or someone was watching him.
Scoffing the feeling off, Sans closed his eyes nonchalantly and began walking westward once more. He had only taken a couple of steps when he felt something, something like fingers reaching into his chest from his back and touching his SOUL. His left eye flaring up, Sans turned around quickly to see who it was. However all he saw was empty space just like before.
"heh... heh... it was nothing," Sans said quietly to himself.
Great, not only was he being paranoid but he was starting to talk to himself as well, making him look as if he were crazy. Calming down the flaring magic in his left eye, Sans closed his eye sockets and took a couple of deep breathes. Feeling his bones settling down, Sans began walking off towards his sentry post once more.
While making their way down the hallway with Frisk leading them on. _ noticed a giant archway at the end. When _ made an "ah" sound Frisk turned towards them and simply gave them a reassuring smile. Upon seeing Frisks' face _ held their teddy bear closer towards their body and proceeded onward with Frisk.
The moment the two children made their way through the giant archway they were both greeted by another room with a patch of small grass. However now this time there was only one single golden flower, one that seemed to have a face on it.
Upon the sight of Flowey, Frisk had to bite back a gasp. They still remembered how Flowey treated them the first time they had fallen into the ruins. With his friendly facade, only to trick them into his own gains.
"Howdy! I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower!" the small golden flower known as Flowey greeted the two children.
Upon the greeting it elicited a happy gasp from _ while they held onto their teddy bear while Frisk on the other hand merely frowned back at Flowey who seemed to be ignoring the gesture, for now. Frisk couldn't help but wonder to themselves. It seemed that whatever this TRUE RESET was, it had also wiped Flowey of his memories too.
"Hrm... You're both new to the underground, aren'tcha?" Flowey asked, gaining a smiling nod from the child with the teddy bear while the other merely stared. "Golly, you two must be so confused. Someone ought to teach you two how things work around here! Guess little ole me will have to do." Flowey proclaimed. "Ready? Here we go!"
With that said a giant translucent field of energy spread around the two children. Frisk being familiar with what was going on, simply looked down at themselves and saw the red glow of their SOUL. Hearing a surprised gasp next to them, Frisk turned their attention to _ and was taken aback a bit when they saw the cyan glow of the other child's SOUL.
New to whatever was happening to them, _ had dropped their teddy bear at the sudden transition and placed a hand upon their chest when they saw a cyan colored heart glowing from within them. Looking up worriedly they turned to Frisk whom was staring at them.
"See that heart?" Flowey's voice said aloud, causing the two children to turn their attention back to him. "That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being!" Flowey stated. "However your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. What's LV stand for?" Flowey ask, noticing the confused look of the child who had bent down to pick up their teddy bear. "Why, LOVE, of course!" Flowey said aloud cheerfully, causing the child to smile again while the other merely stared. "You two want some LOVE, don't you?" Flowey asked gaining a happy nod from the mute child while the other, just as before, kept on staring at him.
Flowey didn't quite understand but not gaining a reaction from the child with the stick was starting to irk him, expressed by a slight twitch of his left eye which had gone unnoticed by the other happy child.
"Don't worry, I'll share some with you two!" Flowey said aloud with a wink causing the child with the teddy bear to giggle.
Suddenly five swirling pellets appeared behind Flowey, causing the children to look up at them. The child with the teddy bear looked up in wonder while Frisk merely breathed through their nose as they stared at the pellets.
"Down here, LOVE is shared through... Little white... Friendliness pellets," Flowey announced happily. "Are you ready? Move around! Get as many as you can!" Flowey said aloud as the pellets started to hone in on the two children.
Watching the incoming pellets, Frisk knew that they were not "friendliness pellets" at all and was about to move around them when they noticed _ making their way towards them. Frisk had let out a horrified gasp, although they themselves knew about Flowey, _ did not. Frisk quickly ran on over to _ and quickly maneuvered the both of them around the pellets.
_ looked up confusingly at Frisk, wondering why they had pulled them away from the friendliness pellets from their new friend, Flowey. Frisk on the other hand frowned slightly and shook their head, confusing them all the more.
"Hey buddies, you missed them." Flowey said aloud drawing attention of the two children. "Let's try this again, okay?" Flowey huffed out in a semi flat tone as five more pellets were sent towards their way.
Thinking fast, Frisk took a hold of the sleeve of _ shirt and quickly pulled them away from the pellets again.
"Hey is this a joke? Are you two braindead?" Flowey asked while his eyes narrowed at the two startled children. "RUN. INTO. THE. BULLETS! Friendliness pellets." Flowey corrected himself as five more pellets flew towards the two children.
Upon hearing the sudden change of Flowey's voice from friendly to suddenly stern put quite the shock onto _, freezing them on the spot. Their eyes widen slightly as they watched the pellets fly towards them at an alarming speed. However the pellets never made contact when they were suddenly pushed down onto the ground with the attacks zooming by overhead.
Looking up to see whom had pushed them, they saw Frisk smiling down at them. Sitting up slowly _ reached on over to where they had dropped their teddy bear and hugged it close towards their body before looking back at Frisk. Now understanding the situation that they were in, they were glad that Frisk had saved them from whatever Flowey had thrown at them. Hearing a low growl both Frisk and _ turned their attention back on over towards Flowey. What _ saw was not the friendly flower before but instead a creature that has warped it features into something more menacing and sinister.
"You two know what's going on here, don't you?" Flowey accused in a more demonic voice. "You two just wanted to see me suffer," Flowey growled out as pellets suddenly surrounded both Frisk and _ whom suddenly held onto Frisk for comfort at the sight of the attack. "Die!" Flowey screamed aloud, followed by a series of maniacal laughter as the bullets all closed in towards the two children.
Not liking the sudden change in Flowey and his demonic laughter that ensued, _ held onto Frisk and their teddy bear tightly as tears flowed down their eyes. They were so confused. Why was this happening to them? Why did Flowey suddenly change in demeanor and wanted to kill them? We're they both going to die to the flower monster? During all this though a comforting hand was placed upon the back of the child, causing them to turn around to see Frisk's warm smile.
"Don't be afraid. It will all be okay," Frisk said quietly in a reassuring voice.
Before they could ask why the pellets all suddenly vanished. Looking around quickly they stared back at a bewildered looking Flowey whom had stopped laughing and was eyeing them confusingly. Suddenly a small fireball appeared just a few feet from the flower monster and before Flowey could do anything the small flame flew towards the creature and knocked him away. Letting out a small gasp of what just happened both the child and Frisk looked around and saw a shadow slowly making it's way towards them.
At the sight of the approaching shadow, _ gripped onto their stuffed bear tightly and cowered back in fear. Frisk on the other hand glanced on over towards them and gave them a comforting smile before turning back to look up at the approaching figure. Confused, _ followed Frisk's gaze and was quite surprised to see a goat like monster dressed in a purple colored robe entered into their view.
"What a terrible creature, torturing such poor, innocent youths" the goat monster spoke softly in a motherly voice, staring off in the area to where the flower monster was blasted off to.
Turning back to see the two children the goat monster placed a hand over her bosom, closing her eyes and let out a relieved breath. She had worried that she had been too late but was happy to know that she had got to the two human children just in time.
"Ah, do not be afraid, little ones. I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins." Toriel announced in a soft voice causing one of the children to smile up brightly at her while the other seemed to hold their teddy bear toy closer towards their body.
A thought seemed to have crossed Toriel's mind, questions bearing as to why these two children had suddenly appeared within the ruins? But no matter, she had to get the children out of the ruins and to a safe place. So without a second thought Toriel offered a hand towards the two children.
"Come! Follow me now my children. It is dangerous here. I will lead you two out of the catacombs," Toriel offered.
Without missing a beat, Frisk ran up towards Toriel and quickly threw their arms around the monster's leg and held on firmly.
"Oh-oh dear," Toriel yelped out at the unexpected hug.
Turning to look up at Toriel, Frisk could see the surprise on the monster's face which slowly turned into a kind smile. With that, Toriel reciprocated the gesture by wrapping her arms around Frisk's backside.
Turning back around to face _, Frisk beckoned for them to follow.
_ bit their bottom lip and hugged their teddy bear close to their body, unsure whether or not to trust this Toriel. How would they know if this Toriel was just putting on a facade as well, just as Flowey did? While they thought about it, it did seem that this Toriel monster seemed genuine enough. She had come in to saved them when no one else came and Frisk seemed to have put their whole trust and faith on this monster as they ran on ahead and threw themselves around Toriel's knees. Frisk had then turn back around and waved for them to come on over.
Taking a deep breath _ hesitantly approached both Frisk and Toriel upon the former's call. Once they were standing right beside the two, _ glanced up at Toriel and watched as the goat monster smiled warmly down at them before she knelt down next to them and gave them a warm hug.
"Do not be afraid now my child. You are safe now," Toriel spoke softly.
Upon being hugged by the goat monster, _ felt something, something that pushed away at all their worries, fears and sadness.
"There there now, it is alright. I am here and I will protect you, the both of you," Toriel spoke soothingly.
Frisk couldn't help but wipe away at the forming tears that were appearing at the edge of their eyes at the sight of Toriel hugging the other child. Knowing that they had found their mother again and knowing that she will protect them, fills them with Determination.
At Toriel's soft and kind words, _ buried their face deeper into the monster's bosom who soothingly held them tighter all the while. Upon knowing that within this scary world, there were others who would protect them from harm, fills them with Hope.
