Sabaody 7

While still in the group hug, the black area they were in started to shake violently grabbing everyone's attention.

"What's going on?!" - Usopp

"Kyaaaa!" - Chopper

"Calm down, Frisk isn't panicking. Can you tell us what's going on?" - Robin

Everyone looked at Frisk and she shrugged.

"The shortcut isn't meant to be here too long and is being unstable because of it. I was originally planning on sending everyone away-… but I'll put it back in." - Frisk

Frisk pulled out her inventory putting the shortcut back inside and with it the black void that surrounded everyone disappeared and they appeared back in Sabaody. Robin walked to Frisk with concern over her face.

"So… Frisk, can you tell us what's going to happen?" - Robin

Everyone looks at Frisk but Frisk has a shocked face. What Frisk sees behind the Strawhats is a glowing beam from the robot's she's all too familiar with.

"GET DOWN" - Screamed Frisk and pushed Robin out of the way, narrowly dodging the laser. Everyone else instinctually followed Frisk's order's. With the laser passing behind everyone, after a second, there's a deafening explosion. Everyone turns around to see that it's Kuma one of the seven warlords but Frisk quickly clarifies for them.

"That's a robot called Pacifista that looks like Kuma! It shoots deadly lasers out of its hand and mouth!" - Frisk

And with that, the battle has begun.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The peaceful atmosphere of Sabaody Archipelago at grove 12 was now gone with the land itself violently shaking from the Pacifista's laser as it relentlessly blazed across the landscape, leaving destruction wherever the laser landed. Despite the Pacifista's showing the visible sign of pain, there were signs of damage with scorch marks from Nami's lightning, slashes from Brook's and Zoro's blades, and dents from Luffy, Chopper, and Sanji's punches and kicks.

Frisk charges at the Pacifista with her left eye glowing blue, a blue aura enveloped the Pacifista. Frisk extended her left arm and swings her arm forcefully, the Pacifista , despite its immense weight, followed the trajectory of her arm and slammed itself against the mangrove trees and the ground creating a nasty sound.

"What in the world…?" - Franky

"What the…" - Said Sanji as he saw Pacifista being tossed around like a ragdoll.

Zoro watched the battle remembering what Frisk did back at Thriller Bark.

"That's so cool!" - Said Luffy/Usopp/Chopper

"NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO BE AMAZED" - Screamed Nami

Despite it's size and weight, the Pacifista was helplessly thrashed merciselly against the wall and grinded through the ground. However, the Pacifista still stood back up quickly and resumed it's assault against the group even more recklessly shooting the laser everywhere.

The relentless dance of destruction carried on, as the everyone continued their battle against the mechanical beast. Everyone synchronized the assault contributing their unique abilities and strength to the fight.

Frisk, moved without hesitation with her arms motions dictating the path of the Pacifista, each swing sending it crashing, creating moments for others to strike with zoro's three swords crashing down upon it as Frisk pulled the Pacifista down and leaving a mark on it's metallic armor, Usopp landing crucial points on the machines, with Robin assisting Frisk and trying to hold the Pacifista in place. Frisk moved and dodged each attack perfectly as if she practiced a thousand times. The battle raged on, with the battle feeling like an eternity and fatigue starting to clearly show on everyone including the monster trio. Luffy's punch lost it's initial speed, Zoro's blades trembled with exertion, and Sanji's fiery kicks dwindled in intensity. No matter how physically tired they were, no one's spirit has yet to falter. In a collective resolve, everyone prepared to use their remaining strength for the final blow. Frisk's left eye started to glow even more. Frisk's gravitational control immobilized the Pacifista, holding the Pacifista in its place and creating a crater

"NOW IS THE TIME!" - Frisk

"Frisk-san gave us the opportunity! Let's go!" - said Sanji while preparing his Diable Jambe.

Sanji charged at the Pacifista with Frisk holding it in place.

"Hey! Send him this way…!" - Zoro

"Stubborn bastard. Diable Jambe" - Sanji

Sanji sent the Pacifista flying towards Zoro with it's searing kick.

"All right! Looks like he's finally coming apart! Just one more push!" - Franky

"Demon Spirit Asura." - Zoro

Zoro cut the Pacifista with it's swirling blades and Luffy launched himself in the air creating a giant's fist.

"Gomu Gomu… Gigant Rifle!" - Luffy

With the combined assault from everyone, the Pacifista was crushed with it's red targeting light flickering before turning off. The dust settled around with breaths of shallow and rapid breath and muscle aching with exhaustion. While relief was settling in for others, Frisk was silent.

"Ha…Ha…." - Luffy

"Haa…Ha…" - Sanji

"Ha…Ha…" - Zoro

"...Ha… He's stopped…! That bastard!" - Franky

"...Well… That's … as expected!" - Usopp

"He looks like he'll start moving again… Creepy…" - Nami

"If that happens, we're done for… I'm so exhausted, I can't move a muscle." - Usopp

"...Maybe… Instead of fighting… We should focus on… Getting away…" - Chopper

"...We should get rid of the people that we can, since they'll come after us later anyways…" - Robin

"...But.. Just what was that guy…!?" - Zoro

"Like Frisk said… This is a robot that looks like Kuma… You can't just modify and make a person that looks just like someone…!" - Franky

"Let's just… Rest for a minute… I didn't think that… We'd be fighting at full strength all of a sudden…!" - Luffy

"... Frisk san?" - Sanji

Everyone looked at Frisk.

"We were going to ask you what happened But…" - Said Nami moving her eyes towards the robot

"This is what Frisk was going to tell us! RIght? We did it! We save-" - Usopp

Frisk shook her head.

"No… Something much worse- Everyone, move!" - Frisk

Everyone looked up at the two figure dropping down quickly creating a sudden tremor in the area. It was Sentomaru, axe wielded with an imposing grip, along with another Pacifista.

"Look what you guys have done! You're looking pretty pathetic px-4…! Building one of you Pacifistas costs as much as a battleship! Jeez, What am I supposed to report to that punk…!?" - Sentomaru

"UWAAAHH! ANOTHER ONE!" - Everyone

"We don't have the strength to fight him now…!" - Sanji

"Who are you broadaxe!?" - Franky

"Who do you think you are, calling me by my weapon's name?" - Sentomaru

"It doesn't matter what you ask me, I've got nothing to tell you! I'm a hard man who's the best guard in the world…! Even my mouth is hard!" - Sentomaru

"Not even your name?!" - Usopp

"I told you, i'm the man with the hardest mouth in the world, Sentomaru. Ah, I just said that accidentally. I wasn't answering your question. Let's start PX-1!" - Sentomaru

With that, the new Pacifista shot a laser from it's hand that was just as deadly as the previous one.

"...! He's shooting beams again! What the hell is going on!?" - Sanji

"... Now's not the time for that. We need to focus on our safety. If we fight again, someone's going to get seriously hurt! Before we run into the Admiral…!" - Zoro

"Yeah… We're running!" - Luffy

"The 3 of us need to split up!" - Luffy

"All right…!" - Sanji

So everyone split up into groups of three trying to run away with Usopp making a big smokescreen. Frisk ran away with Usopp, Zoro, and Brook.

"Everyone! Meet up in 3 days at the Sunny!" - Luffy

"They're splitting up! Pursue them, Px-1!" - Sentomaru

"Don't let them out of Grove 12! It'll be more trouble!" - Sentomaru

While running away, there was the smallest light that Frisk saw that was being aimed at Zoro and no one else could see it. Frisk pushed away Zoro and got fully hit by the laser causing a huge explosion. Frisk was visibly burnt.

"FRISKKKKKKKK!" - Usopp

"GOD DAMN IT FRISK!" - Zoro

"F-F-F-FRISK-SAN! FRISK GOT HIT BY A BEAM!" - Brook

"GET BACK! GET AWAY FROM FRISK, YOU STUPID BASTARD!" - Said Usopp aiming his weapon at the man.

"...Jeez, you're late! So you're really here, Uncle Kizaru…" - Sentomaru

"...! Kizaru…!? - Robin

"BE CAREFUL! THAT MAN IS A MARINE ADMIRAL!" - Robin

"EHHH! AN ADMIRAL!" - Brook

"...It's already too late for you…" - Kizaru

"A bounty of 250 million… "The Child Frisk". I was more aiming towards Pirate Hunter Zoro…!" - Kizaru

Kizaru aimed his lasers at Frisk

"FRISK - Luffy

"FRISK! YOU'VE GOT TO MOVE!" - Franky

Frisk's first thought were if she was going to have to reset again and felt a crushing weight of despair filling her heart with sorrow. Everything was dimming with the sounds slowly disappearing. However, there was a familiar voice that she could hear Chara.

(You cannot give up just yet…Don't lose hope! Please… Wake up!)

"...Chara?" - whispered Frisk

However no matter how hard Frisk tried, she was unable to move and her consciousness slowly faded away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

she was in a familiar black area with Frisk standing over a RESET button embedded in. Frisk's mind raced through the countless timelines she did, each desperate attempt to rewrite the tragic tales in reality. Despite Frisk's best effort, fate was cruel. Frisk was falling into a pit of despair.

"Why…" - Frisk whispered with her voice trembling.

"Why can't I change it? Why does it always end the same?" - Frisk

Frisk cried again and again. Unsure of what to do anymore.

"Frisk…" - Said a gentle voice behind Frisk

Frisk knew that voice and turned around.

"Asriel… I missed you so much…" - Frisk

"Me too…" - Asriel

Frisk immediately hugged Asriel. Within the embrace, Frisk cried with Asriel hugging Frisk harder.

Asriel looked at Frisk.

"I guess you're the crybaby now?" - Asriel

Frisk smiled a little.

"Yeah…" - Frisk

"Why do you keep looking at the past and cry?" - Asriel

"I… I wanted to save you, Asriel. To change everything… Have a happy ending…" - Frisk

Asriel made a gentle smile

"Frisk. In this new world now, you've made new love, hope, and friends." - Asriel

"But I couldn't save you…" - Frisk

Asriel hugged harder and warmed her soul.

"You have saved me, in ways I can't even say. Your endless love is what freed me from my soul in eternal pain." - Asriel

Asriel slowly started to fade away.

"Oh, looks like time's running out for now." - Asriel

"Wait!" - Frisk

"This isn't a goodbye partner. We'll meet again. It's a promise right?" - Said Asriel getting his pinky finger out.

"...! A promise. I'll always carry you in my heart, Asriel." - Frisk

"Me too…" - Aerial

With that, Asriel slowly disappeared again.

Frisk's face was an island of calm, a soft light amidst the overpowering shadows. Her heart held a

sweet melody, its gentle whispers bringing her calm and steadfast strength. The loving memory of Toriel's soft smile, the lively spark of Alphys's energy, the strong gaze of Undyne, the perpetual cheer of Papyrus, and Sans's light-hearted wink flowed within her mind. And Asriel… his memory, a soft touch among the turmoil, a tender embrace for her embattled spirit. Together, their gentle breath rekindled the dim embers of HOPE cradled within her heart.

Her thoughts smoothly transitioned to the warm embrace of new friendships, their presence a sturdy shield against the encroaching darkness. Chopper's caring arms wrapped her, his gentle touch healing the battle-worn scars upon her spirit. Sanji's burning passion and unwavering support fanned the flames of her resolute will, a fiery blaze within her soul's sanctuary. Usopp's formidable courage fortified her tender heart, his bravery a steadfast guard against the tide of fear. And Nami, her love a guiding light, a bright beacon showing the clear path ahead, pushing away the lurking shadows with its warm light.

Robin's thoughtful whispers surrounded her in a soft hug, her wisdom a golden link binding the journey together, uniting the broken pieces into a harmonious unity. Franky's unrestrained spirit and creative genius, a boundless field where possibilities soared, unchained and free. The heartfelt hum of Brook's melody blended with the internal tune, its soothing tones a comfort to her tired spirit. And Luffy, his indomitable spirit a bright sun, its radiant beams cutting through the cloak of darkness, lighting her path with a guiding glow, leading her toward hope's victorious embrace.

A quivering sigh escaped their lips as their gaze remained affixed upon the RESET button, a symbol of the relentless cycle that ensnared them. In the depths of despair, a fragile bloom of understanding unfurled, its delicate petals caressed by the breath of revelation. It wasn't the past that needed mending, but the present that craved embracing.

With a newfound resolve, Frisk raised her arm, a determined glint illuminating their tear-brimmed eyes. They couldn't keep clinging to the ghosts of what could have been. The embrace of the present, no matter how fraught with the shadows of uncertainty, beckoned them with the allure of uncharted moments and the warmth of enduring friendships.

As Frisk's hand descended upon the RESET button, a surge of strength shattered the chains of the past. With a resounding crack, the button crumbled to dust, its fragments whispering tales of liberation upon the ether's embrace.

The shackles of yesteryears dissolved in the burgeoning dawn of the now, as Frisk's heart resonated with the harmonious hymn of the present, a melody woven with the threads of love, camaraderie, and the boundless tapestry of the unyielding moment.

A tender smile caressed their lips as they turned away from the remnants of the RESET button, their soul bathed in the luminescent embrace of the present's gentle cradle. The path ahead, though strewn with the unknown, bloomed with the vibrant hues of possibility, love, and the cherished embrace of friends who stood as steadfast sentinels amidst the voyage of existence.

"Thank you, Asriel..." Frisk murmured, their voice a tender breeze amidst the hallowed echoes of the caverns. "I understand now... I'm ready to live, truly live, with everyone…"

The RESET button now gone, a new one formed. RESUME. Frisk pressed on it without hesitation.

* YOU ARE FILLED WITH DETERMINATION

Frisk stood up quietly and she pulled out her stick.

"FRISK!" - Screamed Everyone

"..." - Frisk

Something was glowing inside Frisk. A yellow light.

"Oh? Not many have stood up from a direct hit from my laser?" - Kizaru

Frisk feels her heart pulse with an unwavering will.
