Chapter 1: Flower meets annoying kid.
Chapter Text
Flowey: "Howdy, I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower!"
Frisk: "Really? That's your name?"
Flowey: "Well, it's what I am!"
Frisk: "Umh no, you're a golden flower. By that logic you should be called Flowey The Golden Flower."
Flowey: "...You're new to the UNDERGROUND, ain'tcha? Well-"
Frisk: "Nevermind, I guess your Flowey The Overexplainer."
Flowey: "..."
Frisk: "Oh look, it's Flowey The Silent, here to spread joy across the UNDERDUMP... oh wait, you can't do that right? Being a... flower and all that."
Flowey: "Why you...hehehehHAhahahahaHahaHaha."
Frisk: "Cool laugh, did you practice it or-Ah!"
*Stems entrap you in a bone-crunching grip.
HP: 18/20
Flowey: "Y'know, I had this whole elaborate plan about how I'd kill you."
*The stems tighten.
HP: 14/20
Flowey: "But you've made it clear the level of intellect I should expect from you. So, I'll give you a...abridged version."
*The stems tighten
HP: 10/20
*You struggle. But... you're too weak to break free.
Flowey: "Don't worry buddy, when that number drops to zero you'll die in an instant! No big deal! It's not like anyone will miss you!"
*The stems tighten.
HP: 6/20
*You struggle and struggle and struggle but... nothing happens.
Flowey: "Oh? Are you scared? Mommy, Daddy, save me! I'm dyiiiinggg! That's you! Hahaha."
*The Stems tighten
HP: 2/20
Flowey: "Come on buddy, I'm sure somebody will come. Just... call for help."
*You look around...you're all alone.
Flowey: "Don't be shy, go on!"
*You search for a way to break free. But all you have is a stick and-
*The stems tighten!
HP: 1/20
Flowey: "Call. For. Help. NOW!"
*The stems loosen enough for you to speak.
Frisk: "H-how..."
*But... in the last second you are filled with an overwhelming feeling
Frisk: "C-can I...call for help..."
*One that shines bright in this dark world
Flowey: "Come on, spit it out already!"
*You are filled with
"...How can I call for help...without a phone?"
*SNARK!

*You are surrounded by an array of bullets while being squeezed to death by vines.
*Perhaps SNARK was not the answer.
Frisk: "H-hey, did you hear that?"
Flowey: "NO! I'm not falling for another one of your stupid jokes. This is the end, so... die!"
*The bullets close in on you.
???: "You know what you are?"
Flowey: "No! Not now m-"
???: "A nasty weed about to be uprooted by the goat of the ruins, Toriel!"
*A fireball blows Flowey away. The bullets and veins vanish. Toriel catches you on your fall down.
*You hit her with your stick, but your scrawny arms are too weak after being squeezed so hard.
Toriel: "Oh, goodness gracious my child! There's no need for such cruelty. I assure you, I mean you no harm."
*The G.O.A.T mom lays you on the ground. Odd green energy enters your body.
Toriel: "Do not fear, help is near, I will take good care of you."
HP fully restored.
Frisk: "W-why did you sing?"
Toriel: "Apologies my child, but magic requires it."
Frisk: "Is that why you roasted Flowey the Forgettable?"
Toriel: "Is that really its name?"
Frisk: "...Yes."
Toriel: "Well, either way. You're the first human to fall down here in a long time, please, follow me. You have much to learn."

*The leftover heat of Toriel's sick beats fills you with Rap-energy.
Empty Lvl 0 ?:??

Frisk: 'Level 0? No wonder I lost to a flower. I should level up, so next ti-'
*You realize that you should consider another option before-
Frisk: 'Shut up nagging conscious!'

*Save <
*Return
Frisk Lvl 1 ?:??
Frisk: 'Neat.'
*You move onward.
Toriel: "Welcome to your home, innocent one. Allow me to educate you in the operation of the RUINS."
*Toriel effortlessly solves the puzzle and moves to the switch.
*Clik
Toriel: "My child... I understand you are eager to help. But that tile was not needed to solve the puzzle."
Frisk: "Which means you'll need to start over."
Toriel: "...Yes my child. Please step off the tile."
*You do so. And Toriel tugs the switch, lifting up the downed tiles.
Frisk: 'I've got your pattern down, now, it's time to level up.'
*...
*Toriel moves to solve the puzzle, when her back is turned you dash forward. Plunging the stick into-
*Fight
*Act
*Item
*Mercy
Frisk: "What the fudge?!"
Toriel: "My child! Language!"
Frisk: "Sorry Toriel. But what the fudge is this!?"
Toriel: "It's your battle screen. Whenever an entity meets another with harmful intent a battle will begin. My child... did you-"
Frisk: "There was a fly on your back!"
Toriel: "Oh, my apologies my child, that makes sense."
Frisk: "...It sure does."
*You wonder if Toriel was always this inept.
Frisk: 'Why would I wonder that?'
Toriel: "Well, I suppose this is as good a time as any to teach you. As a human in the UNDERGROUND, monsters may attack you. You will need to be prepared for this situation. However, worry not! The process is simple."
Frisk: "Don't worry Toriel, I've played enough Endless Ruin to know what to do. Tear and rip!"
*Fight
*Act <
*Item
*Mercy
*Check
*Boast <
*Flirt
*Insult
*You tug at your lame-stripped shirt to showcase the non-existent strength in your biceps.
Frisk: 'You little-'
Toriel: "Exactly my child! A joke is a perfect way to defuse any hostile situation."
Frisk: '...Alright, now I am wondering if she's always been this inept.'
*...
Toriel: "Though, I'm surprised you managed to navigate the menu so easily my child... I do not want to intrude, but have you already experienced combat before?"
Frisk: '...It did come a bit too naturally, but I can't remember anything like this...or anything since my fall at all.'
Toriel: "...My apologies my child, I didn't mean to intrude on your past. Let us continue with your education. Once a monster no longer wishes to fight they'll become spareable...You should have an option called 'Mercy'. Clicking that will allow you to spare the monster. Let us try it."
*Fight
*Act
*Item
*Mercy <
*Spare
*Flee
Frisk: 'She's ignored both the Item and Fight options entirely. If I attack now I might catch her off guard. But if not...'
*You remember the burnt ground that Flowey once stood on.
Frisk: "...Probably best to play it safe."
*Spare <
*Flee
YOU WON!
You earned 0 XP and 0 gold.

Chapter Text
*The switches are dealt with. The dummy is ignored. The hall is dusty.
*Toriel has moved on ahead, most likely to deal with another puzzle. You should've followed her, you should've been elsewhere. That Froggit shouldn't have died.
Frisk: 'How do you know what they're called?'
*...
Frisk: 'Well, whatever. It's her own fault for getting in my way.'
*You move onward. Stepping on the Froggits dust makes you recall her dying croak.
*You smile.

Chapter Text
*Toriel tests your courage.
Frisk: 'I wouldn't call walking through a long hallway scary.'
*You realize this is the perfect time for conversation.
Frisk: 'Sure, what's your favorite Pokerman? Mine's Jigglesduff.'
*But nobody cared.
Frisk: '...You don't need to be a jerk about it.'
*You somehow fail to realize the irony of what you've just said.
Frisk: 'Hm? Oh, you mean that frog.'
*Froggit
Frisk: 'Whatever.'
*You feel nothing for it.
Frisk: 'Why would I? It's just an enemy. And a weak one at that.'
*You wonder why you see them all as enemies.
Frisk: 'Because that's how it works. People are only useful if they make you stronger, and that Froggit was a lot more useful dead than alive.'
*You wonder why you feel that way.
Frisk: '...It's just the way it is. Kill or be killed.'
*That phrase feels...familiar.
Notes:
Have a nice day.
(Okay, you should get by now what the royal road version has, I'll leave you be now.)

Chapter Text
*You reach the end of the hallway. A singular pillar stands before you.
Toriel: ...
*Pilloriel was an intimidating foe, but you managed to walk past it.
*Toriel assures you of your safety. Toriel asks you to stay where you are. Toriel gives you a phone to call for help.
*Toriel does not notice the dust on your hands.
*Despite her warnings, you move onward.
*Crushing the leaves into tiny bits fills you with strength.

*Final Froggit wheezes from your strike.
Frisk: "Why are you even called Final Froggit? What are you, a Pokerman?"
*Final Froggit's ribbits are very aggressive.
Frisk: "Oh you wanna go toad, you wanna-"
*You skid back from Final Froggit's headbutt.
HP: 20/24
Frisk: "Ughh, you are so dead you-"
*Final Froggit tongue rips the stick off your hand.
Frisk: "W-wait. No fair! It's my turn, you-"
*Final Froggit slams into you.
HP: 16/24
*You've forgotten that your battle menu still hasn't returned. Idiot.
Frisk: "That's so unfair! These guys can hit me as many times as they want but all I get is-ah!"
*You narrowly avoid another slam.
*Final Froggit tires of attacking you.
*Final Froggit hops around...menacingly.
*Fight <

*Mercy
*Final Froggit uses your own stick to block your uppercut. The wood's splinter cut deep, but the Froggit's ribbits would cut far deeper...if you could understand it.
HP: 14/24
Frisk: 'Why is this thing so dang hostile?'
*You recall that frogs and toads are in-fact not the same. And to imply otherwise is somewhat...racist.
Frisk: "Wait wha-Ow"
HP: 10/24
*Your surprise has earned you another tackle. Will you repent for your racial discrimination?
Frisk: 'I didn't mean it like-'
HP: 6/24
*You clutch your stomach as another devastating blow leaves your knees weak. Yet the effects that your words have had on Final Froggit are perhaps-
Frisk: 'Shut up! You're throwing me off my game!'
*...You narrowly dodge another hit.
*Final Froggit tires of attacking you.
*Final Froggit hops for the sake of racial equality!

*Aggravate. <
Frisk: "Come on toady! Is that all you got?"
*Your realization is profoundly stupid
Frisk: "I've felt stronger hits from flies!"
*Final Froggit is deeply upset by your insults. It squats down, straining its muscles as magical energy flows around it
Final Froggit: "RiiiiiiiBiiiiiii-"
Frisk: 'Oh crap it's charging up!'
*You extend your leg forward.
Final Froggit: "iiiiiiiTTT!"
*Final Froggit bursts towards you, its head slams into your shoe. Your body flips in the air as Final Froggit dashes past you.
HP: 1/24
*You slam to the floor, barely clinging to life. And yet...
*Part of Final Froggit's head is turned to nothing but dust.
Final Froggit: "Riii...biii..."
Final Froggit can no longer hop.

*You struggle to your feet.
Frisk: "Did ya really think just because it wasn't my turn... you couldn't have gotten hurt?"
*You approach the Final Froggit
Frisk: "You really are nothing but a stupid toad. So go on, do what you do best toady. Croak."
Final Froggit: '"Rii...bii-"
*Final Froggit turns to dust.
YOU WON!
You earned 4 XP and 2 gold.

Frisk: 'Training montage!'

Frisk: “Final Froggits leaping around until I put it into the ground, then Whimsalot shows up thinking it’s a BigShot but in the end it still drops! Astimaige…Astimitis…Astigaei-”
*Astigmatism
Frisk: “That thing wants to bully me which is all the reason I need to give it my fury!”
*Migospels honking catches your attention.
Frisk: “Migospel laughs in pain before I split open its brain!”
Frisk: “I make Moldessa into Moldeada!”
*Really?
Frisk: “Rhyming is hard okay?”
Frisk: “Point is I’m vicious plus malicious and so ambitious that you can trust that I’ll turn all of Monsterkind into dust! Yeaaaaaaahh!”
Frisk: “So who’s going to be joining my thrilling killing!”
*...But nobody came.
Frisk: “Oh. Well…I guess that’s it.”
*You press onward. No ribbits, no fluttering butterflies, no honks or slimy noises, no snakes sssshussshing you. You search up and down, high and low. But no more monsters show. The ruins are quiet. The ruins are ruined.
Frisk: “Hm, so poetic and sad or whatever. But you’re missing the most important part!”

*You move onward. Dropping down holes again and again... it seems wasting time is your specialty.
Frisk: "Shut up. Something is here, I can feel it."
*You drop down another hole. One would hope you'd snap your neck from the fall. Alas, You survive.
Frisk: "Jeez, are you still mad about that ghost thing?"
*The reason why others dislike You truly is a mystery. Is it because your skin looks like dehydrated urination?
Frisk: "How do you know what dehydrated pee pee looks like?"
*Or that your legs look deformed?
Frisk: "H-hey, it's a medical condition! You're being ableist, I could cancel you ya kno-"
*Or maybe, just maybe, it's the mass murder you've committed?
Frisk: "Oh come on, I kill a couple-"
*Dozens.
Frisk: "Okay, 'Dozens' of monsters and I'm the bad guy?"
*Yes!
Frisk: "Darn straight I am! Because bad guys rule!"
*Bad guys literally always lose. You're a destined loser.
Frisk: "W-well what about you?"
*Me?
Frisk: "You lived some sort of life! Tell me, how did being a goody two shoes go?"
*...
Frisk: "Oh, sorry I didn't hear that. Is that the sound of you agreeing with me?
*No! Y-you suck!
Frisk: "Nu-ah. Y-you're..."
*You whisper
Frisk: "..A...bitch"
*That's a tier-two cuss! Toriel will KILL you.
Frisk: "W-well it's true!"
*You don't even know my gender!
Frisk: "It's universal!"
*It's not.
Frisk: "Shut up grammar police!"
*That's not grammar, grammar is a language's struc-
Frisk: "Grammar police!"
*Oh whatever! You keep jumping down holes until...you find a faded ribbon?
Frisk: "Told you there was something here."
*You pick up the faded ribbon and tie it to your scraggly hair.
Frisk: "Of course, gotta look my best when I'm killin'!"
*...Right. You move onward. You cross over green leaves as you find yourself at a crossroads. You move straight ahead. And then up.
Frisk: "Woah..."
*Woah indeed. Before you is the Ruins city. Buildings upon buildings made to house an entire civilization. Now empty, not from you're genocide but the BRAVERY of monsters to explore further into the perilous underground. If you were to be silent for but a moment, you'd hear the soft jingle of bells. All surely now brass. But still with the same melody of hope, the same warmth of a home.
Frisk: "Oh I was talking about that toy knife, it looks cool."
*...Of course you were. Your mindless mind equips the toy knife.
Frisk: "That doesn't even make sense."
*Nothing does.
Frisk: "Oh don't be such a downer. After all, this all had a point to it, I'd take a stab and say that this knife will even the scales against Toriel."
*...
Frisk: "Oh come on, that's what I'm going to do. I'm just cutting to the point, no reason to toy with you, that just be...plastic? Not sure if there's any pun I can do with that."
*...
Frisk: "Fine, fine. No more stalling, now-"
*You lift up the knife
Frisk: "It's time for goat hunting."

*You approach a dead tree with crimson leaves scattered across the floor. You spot Toriel's back. She's huffing...
*You get closer
*And closer
*You raise your knife and-
Toriel: "My child!"
*Without any hesitation, Toriel gives you a bear hug. You can feel her fur, fluffy like a pillow, warm like a softly burning campfire.
*Your muffled words are incomprehensible for all but the desperation in your voice. Toriel let's go.
Toriel: "Apologies my child I-"
Frisk: "Achew!"
*...You let out the most adorable-
Frisk: 'Shut up.'
*Baby sneeze imaginable.
Frisk: 'Fudge you.'
*Toriel giggles, unaware of your crude tongue.
Toriel: "So you have allergies my child? I shall keep that in mind."
*Toriel looks around.
Toriel: "Quickly, come inside."
*With Goat Mom's strength she tugs you home before shutting the door and locking it.
Frisk: "What was that about?"
Toriel: "I'm unsure of what danger lurks outside my child. But danger does lurk. A spider not too long ago came here. They seemed awfully worried, though I couldn't understand what they were trying to tell me. And before that, the marketplace of the ruins was completely empty. I waited and waited but...nobody came. Still, robbing is wrong, my child, so I had to come back empty-handed..but do not worry my child! I still made a lovely pie for both of us. Come!"
*You follow Toriel into the kitchen. She grabs the pie and presents it to you.
Toriel: "Tadaa, what do you think?"
*The pie is masterfully made, with shells encircling the edges and a bit of slime in the center.
Frisk: 'What?'
*An acquired taste. The shells are like harder crickets. But with enough force they should crack. The slime in the center tastes a bit like whipped cream.
Frisk: 'I'm...not even going to ask how you know this.'
Frisk: "It's great!"
Toriel: "How relieving. I thought my cooking expertise had become a shell of what they once were! But I guess in the end I was Piening over nothing."
Frisk: "Food puns, how tasty!"
*You both share a smile. Toriel cuts you a slice of pie. You balance it on top of your head. The home feels warm.
Notes:
Have a nice day.

*Toriel takes your hand. You two walk across the hallways and stop at a door.
Toriel: "This is it. A room of your own. I hope you like it!"
Frisk: 'My own room? Do…do you think it has toys?'
*Only one way to find out.
*Knocking noises
Toriel: "Oh my, at this hour? I wonder who it could be."
*Toriel heads off to confront the knocking noise.
*Knocking noise
*Knocking noise
Frisk: 'Y'know you don't need to narrate everything.'
*Louder Knocking noise!
Frisk: 'Ugh.'
*You open the door, revealing a red room with cool toys, a well-made flower drawing, a wardrobe full of varying clothes, and-
Frisk: 'You sure like this room.'
*It is scientifically proven to be difficult to dislike a room with such a good sense of roominess.
Frisk: 'Where the fudge did you get that from?'
*Monster.net, scientific discovery page 56 by W.D...
Frisk: '...What?'
*The full name alludes me.
Frisk: 'hmm...I think I've heard of that name.'
*Really?
Frisk: 'Yeah, W.Deez nutz in ya jaw!'
*Ugh. You snicker at your awful meme.
Frisk: 'Whatever.'
*You inspect the cool toys. Then drop them to the floor. Cold.
Frisk: 'It's just a bunch of stuffed dolls. Action figures are cooler.'
*You dissect the room thoroughly, snobbishly looking down on the wholesomeness before you.
Frisk: 'Oh come on. Like, just look at that flower drawing.'
*Yes, it is quite good.
Frisk: 'Bro...Gal...none-gender revealing amigo, that flower is awful. I mean look at that leaf! It's all-'
*It's a shadow.
Frisk: '...Yeah. and I'm a good person. Nah man, that's a leaf!'
*Nah man?
Frisk: 'W-well what's the non-binary version of man?'
*Person
Frisk: 'Oh yeah and if I said Nah person, that's a leaf. You wouldn't raise a...imaginary eyebrow eh?'
*...I can see the issue. Even still, that flower is of excellent quality.
Frisk: 'Whatever.'
*Finally, after a long arduous journey, you rest on the comfy bed.
Frisk: 'What does arduous mean?'
*Difficult, tiring, strenuous.
Frisk: 'Pff, nah those fights were ez wins.'
*Yeah...about that. Why not like...stop that.
Frisk: 'Oh no not another long-winded speech about how I'm evil.'
*No, think about it. There's no one left who'll attack you, so there's no reason to keep fighting. And Toriel is a lot more useful alive than dead.
Frisk: 'Pah, the only good monster is a dead one.'
*What if that monster can make you nice pies?
Frisk: 'I ain't a snail freak like you, I-'
*Butterscotch.
Frisk: 'No, she can't-"
*Chocolate cookies. Cake. Pancakes.
Frisk: 'Liar, I bet there isn't even milk here!'
*...She's a goat, not dude.
Frisk: 'Oh yeaah... wait, ewwww!'
*Not like that you idiot! Goats are good scavengers, she can find anything!
Frisk: 'Pff, alright. Let's say you're right. What do I do all day? Play with dolls?'
*Snail facts.
Frisk: '...you must be the lamest person on earth if you find snail facts to be-'
*Snail races.
Frisk: 'kay, I'm a bit interested but-'
*Snail boxing.
Frisk: 'How?!'
*Snails rule, you would know if you weren't so snailphobic.
Frisk: 'Ugh....fine. I'll...consider it.'
*You close your eyes. As you think you reflect on your life choices, on if all the dust in the world is worth the loss of happy days like this, of-
Frisk: 'Hey! I'd like to think in y'know...silence?'
*Sorry.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................dot...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................dotdotdot...........................................................dotdotdot.......................................................dotdotdot...................................................................dotdotdot................................................................................................................................................................................dotdotdot...............................................................................................dotdotdot.............................................................................................dotdotdot.......................dotdotdot......................................................................................................................................................................................dotdotdot................................................................................................................................dotdotdot.............................................................................................dotdotdot.......................................................................................................................................................................dotdotdot................................................dotdotdot...................................................dotdotdot.......................................................dotdotdot...............................................dotdotdot..............................................dotdotdot...................dotdotdot..........dotdotdot........dotdotdot.....dotdotdotdotdotdotdotdot-
Frisk: 'Are you unable to be quiet?'
*I was getting bored, okay?
Frisk: 'Whatever.'
*.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Frisk: 'Got it! No.'
*B-but-
Frisk: 'You make a good argument. But well...killing is fun. It makes the world more interesting, being a little goody-two-shoes is just obnoxious.'
*That's horrible! People don't deserve to die for your amusement. Monsters have lives and-
Frisk: 'Blah blah blah. Jeez were you a philosophy major or something?'
*...How is that an insult?
Frisk: 'Because it's proof that you wasted your life?'
*They earn more on average!
Frisk: 'And I'm guessing W.D. forgettable is the one who told you that?'
*Are you even listening to what you're saying? You support genocide for...fun and curiosity! That's crazy!
Frisk: 'Whatever! It's not like you can do anything about it.'
*...Maybe I can.
Frisk: 'Oh like what? You'll narrate about how sad and bad I am?'
*I...I punch you in the face!
Frisk: '...I feel nothing because you can do nothing. So go-'
Frisk: "Ow!"
HP: 30/32
Frisk: 'D-did you just...make my hand slap me?'
*...Yeah, and I'll do it again if you don't listen!
Frisk: 'Well...fudge you! I'm killing Toriel... and you know what? I'm gonna make it painful because you're a jerk. And it's gonna be all your fault!'
*That be your fault, idiot.
Frisk: 'Nuah'
*No! Or...yes... It'll be your fault!
Frisk: 'W-well let's see if you say that to Toriel's face when she's BEGGING for mercy!'
*Why you!
*Your body slams against the floor.
HP: 28/32
Frisk: 'And I dash to the door!'
*But your feet twist and you hit the knob instead!
HP: 23/32
Frisk: 'I break the door and-'
Frisk: "Owwww!"
HP: 20/32
*Splinters idiot, wait how did you even break the door?
Frisk: 'It's called a workout, 100 monsters stabbed, 100 eaten, 100 ran on, good for the muscles! Y-you should try it!'
*Never! You slam into a wall.
Frisk: 'I run forward and-'
*You slip on the carpet!
HP: 18/32
Frisk: 'I get up and-'
Flowey: "Woahy, talk about clumsy."
Frisk: "Flowey?"
Flowey: "Howdy, and by!"
*Flowey plops into the ground before you can grab him. You headbutt the floor.
HP:16/32
Frisk: 'Wait, pause! Pause!'
*What is it?
Frisk: 'It's obvious that jerk is up to something. And at least you know my something is killing! Who knows what he'll do! So like...truce until we deal with him?'
*...Fine. You get up and move onward.
Flowey: "Hurry up! You don't want to be trapped, do you?"
Frisk: 'Trapped?'
*The noise is coming from downstairs.
Frisk: 'He's setting us up!'
*Yes, but what choice do we have?
Frisk: 'Hm...fine. But I'll definitely kill him for this!'
*You go downstairs. Who knows what awaits you.
Notes:
I wonder if anyone even reads this.
Anyway have a nice day!

Chapter Text
*Flowey: “She’s been waiting for someone like you for so long. Y’know how sad she was-’
*You dash to catch the fiendish flower, but he slips right out of your grip. Appearing far away in the hallway’s ceiling.
Flowey: “When she learned she housed a killer?”
Frisk: “I’m about to add to my body count if you don’t shut up!”
Flowey: “I bet you would. If you had the time, that is.”
*Run.
Frisk: ‘Wha-’
*RUN!
Flowey: “Oh did you figure it out?”
*Flowey laughs at your mad dash. You stumble as the hallway shakes and briefly glows in a reddish hue.
Flowey: “Hurry up! The entrance can’t take much more!”
*A piece of ceiling crumbles apart, forcing you to climb over it. What the hell is Toriel thinking?
Flowey: “Woah, even I didn’t think she’d get this DESPERATE! But I guess it was inevitable, right?”
Frisk: “Shut up.”
Flowey: “What, did you think you could just wipe the dust off your hands? Drink tea, lounge in chairs, play with toys after murdering dozens?!”
???: “Shut up!”
Flowey: “Well I won’t let you! I’m the god of the underground, not you, you’re just a fake with stolen powers! Nothing but a dirty murderer that I’ll puppet however I see fit! And if you-”
Chara: “SHUT UP!”
*We reach the final turn, only to be blocked by a wall of vines.
Chara: “Get out of my way!”
Flowey: “Oh no no no! Not before you save! Come on, I made it just for you!"
*Gritting our teeth our hands brush across the shining star in the corner of the room. The moment we do the vines grow to block the path from which we came.
Flowey: “No faking! I can tell!”
Frisk: ‘It’s a trap. Let me take full control, I’ll-”
Chara: ‘What? Attack him!? While Toriel is risking her life?! You may think she’s worthless, but I don’t! I won’t let her die!’
Chara Lv 4 ?:??
*Save <
*Return
*File saved.
*Flowey smiles. The path forward opens up. I sprint ahead. More of the ceiling falls to the floor, it feels like the whole world is ending. But I know it’ll be okay. Because Mom’s here, and even if she’s hurt she’s smart enough to not get k-killed. She’s kind enough to understand. She’ll keep me safe.
*It’ll be okay…
*I’m sure…it’ll all be okay.
Notes:
Have a nice day, and well...
Prepare yourself.

Chapter Text
*Half of the ruin's exit is closed, and the rest of the wall seems ready to collapse. The floor is burnt to a charcoal dark with the red hue brought by the one source of light in the hallway. A sizzling fireball held by both hands, the caster is softly whispering her incantation.
Toriel: “Ever burning flame, close the yearning in my way, which I blame for the dust that has been spilled today.”
*The flame brightens.
Chara: "Toriel, stop this! You're going to-"
Toriel: "Leave my child, it's unsafe here. You-"
Chara: "But that's why I'm here! You're going to get yourself killed! Just look around you, this-"
Toriel: "Ever burning flame, do not yield till rock is ash, till you can block my child's path, till-"
Chara: "Stop! Please, mom! You-"
*Toriel turned to me, a smile unfitting for what she was about to do.
Toriel: "That's exactly why I can not my child. Ever burning flame-"
Chara: "Stop it! I-if you don't stop, I-i'll-"
*Toriel stands before me.
*Fight
*Act

*Mercy
Chara: "I'll stop you!"
Toriel: "Cease this foolishness at once my child. There is no point to struggle against the inevitable."
Frisk: 'Fight.'
Chara: 'What?'
Frisk: 'We've gotten stronger, if we hit her with everything we got we might be able to finish this in one shot.'
Chara: 'Yeah, and kill her!'
Frisk: 'The latter option is being crushed to death. Face it, its kill or be killed, that's how-'
Chara: "Shut up! You're wrong, wrong!"
Toriel: "My child..."
Frisk: 'You're barely holding yourself together, it be best for both of us if you let me ta-'
Chara: 'No! There's another way, I'm sure of it!'

Chara: "I-i-"
*Fight <

*I fall to my knees, all my strength expended in just holding on to my own sanity.
Chara: "W-what..? D-damn it."
*I cover my face in shame. Big kids aren't supposed to cry.
Chara: "I'm not a killer. I'm not mom. I-i-"
*My voice cracks, my vision blurs, and my heartaches as I try to find the words that'll stop her. That'll make everything alright.
Chara: "I-i I'm sorry! I didn't want this to happen! I...you don't need to hurt yourself to protect them! I'll...I'll be good. I promise I'll be good, I promise I won't leave you, I won't, not again, I-"
*I felt a warmth spread through me. One that I always wanted but had taunted me for so long. And so I was cold, empty, alone. My heart-beating in a world that treated me like I was garbage. An annoyance. Something better off dead. And I believed it. I ran and ran and ran till my legs gave out, till I slipped all the way to the underground. Where I met my family. Where I was happy. Where I first felt it. The warmth of a mother's embrace. That's how I know, even with my eyes closed, that you're here with me.
*That's how I know, everything will be okay...
*You wipe my tears away, are you crying as well? It's still too fuzzy to tell.
Toriel: "I know my child. I know you're...good. You were just scared, weren't you? I'm sure you've heard the stories, of how so many have fallen down here...and have never returned. I shouldn't have left you alone, I should have been there for you...this dust is on my hands."
Chara: "No, mom, it's not your fault I-'
*You shush me, and I feel like we're back to when me and Asriel poisoned dad. To when this whole mess began. I felt like a kid again.
Toriel: "It's okay. I'll close down the entrance. They'll be no more threats to you as not even Asgore will be able to reach you. You'll be safe, and no one else will be hurt."
*You caress my cheek.
Toriel: "Everything will be okay, my little star."
*I cry again. I hold on to you with everything I have. I know it's childish, I know it's all a lie, I know I can't ever do enough to make up for the dust I've spilled. But... I'm so happy. I'm so relieved. I'm so glad that you still love me. I'm-
???: "Wrong choice."
Chara: "Mom...?"
*I wipe my eyes, clearing my vision to see-
*I scream and close my eyes.
Chara: 'This isn't real! This is just...a nightmare. I-'
*Tugging my hair, biting my lips, screaming as hard as I can. Nothing ends this horrid dream. Nothing washes away the heart-burning sight of Mom's eyes ripped apart by a dozen vines. I feel her dust falling on me. I hear her soul shaking, then shattering into dozens of pieces. I pull my hair straight out, I bite my lips till they bleed, and I scream so hard my voice gives out.
*...Nothing happens.
Flowey: "Awww, is Lil Chara scared? I had a feeling you were down there somewhere. Mocking me. Well, don't you worry. Look up here!"
*I feel a vine slither across my body, taking something from me.
Flowey: "Come on friendo! Look up. Look...up."
Chara: "plea-"
*A vine slices my cheek.
HP: 30/32
Flowey: "LOOK UP!"
*I look up, Flowey is holding the phone Toriel gave me.
Flowey: "Look at here! You got a phone, you can call for help now!"
*The vine slithers to me, dropping the phone onto my shaking hands.
Flowey: "Don't be shy, dial-up someone, anyone."
Chara: "I-i only know-"
Flowey: "Toriel's? Hm, well, I'm sure she'll pick up."
Chara: "...P-please. I'm sorry, I'm-"
Flowey: "Stop being such a fucking crybaby Chara. Call her number, NOW!"
*...I call Toriel.
*Ring
*Ring
*Ring
*Ring
*Ring
*Ring
*...Ring.
*Flowey's smile widens into a freakish length.
Flowey: "But nobody came."
*Flowey laughs hysterically. I drop the phone.
Chara: "T-this...isn't a dream...is it?"
Flowey: "Heheh, no Chara. She's gone. But don't you worry-"
*Dozens of vines burst out from the walls.
Flowey: "You'll join her soon enough!"
*I try to scream as the ruins collapse. But a rock crushes my head before I can let out a single breath.
*I feel my soul crack.
Chara: 'No...'
*A feeling comes to me as the world fades away.
Chara: 'I-i-'
*It gives me unimaginable strength. And so, I scream
Chara: "I want to live, I want to li-"
*Even so, my soul shatters.
GAME OVER
You cannot give up just yet...Chara!
Stay Determined
*I open my eyes. The ceiling is intact.
Notes:
I hope you got something from that.
Have a nice day. We'll talk more when things mellow out.

Chara: '...How did we...?'
Frisk: 'Seems like we went back to our save point.'
Chara: 'Okay...sure.'
Frisk: 'You really screwed up that last um... I wanna say timeline? Is that accurate? Are we Back To The Modern Daying this world?
Chara: 'Like you're one to talk, where were you last timeline?'
Frisk: 'Watching, you were in control. And look where that got us? Buried alive. You're little pity party got your own 'mom' killed. Flowey was right, you're a big crybaby.'
Chara: '...It's easy not to cry when you hate everyone.'
Frisk: 'Which is why I'm strong. Why I survived. While you got us killed on your first fight.'
Chara: '....'
*I move onward, Flowey's vines open up, and he gives me a knowing smile.
Frisk: 'My turn.'
*I stumble, and after that, I'm unsure which one of us is walking onward.
Chara: 'Don't get in the way this time, I need to warn her about Flowey.'
Frisk: 'You still don't get it, do you?'
Chara: '....?'
Frisk: 'That thing could collapse this place at any moment. It won't let you warn her or do anything but attack. It'll just destroy this hallway again. Forcing us to...start over. It must've known about our power, and because of your stupid fears, we got trapped in this situation. I sure hope you like your 'mom's' dust on your hands."
*I-You walk onward. You approach Toriel, knife in hand and-
*...
*Fight <

Toriel: "My child, what are you doing?"
*Fight
*Act

*Mercy <
Frisk: 'Seriously?'
*You realize that there must be another way-
Frisk: 'There isn't! It's kill or be killed! Do you want to die again and again to try to save someone who's only in the way?'
*...
Frisk: '...Y'know, I don't think she'd want you to. Think about it. She's risking her life right now to keep you safe. Wouldn't her little heart break into a thousand lil pieces if she knew she was responsible for your death?'
*...
Frisk: 'No one would blame you ya know? I mean her death is just unavoidable. Can't do a single thing about it...well... there is one thing you can do.'
*Fight <
*Act
*Item
*Mercy
Frisk: 'If you struggle hard enough you can make me so weak that I can't do anything at all. But...that also means the latter is true as well. If we both hit her with everything we've got then I'm sure we could win in one hit. No grueling battle, no painful realization, just a quick end. Painless.'
*...
Frisk: 'Oh, don't tell me you'd rather see her suffer. Because I'm fine with that. I'll make her beg for death while you watch, too much of a spineless coward to do what needs to be done. Is that who you are? A coward?'
*...Okay...let's...let's get this over with.
Frisk: 'Gladly.'
Toriel: "My child why are you fighti-"
Chara/Frisk: "Think of something nice, it'll be over soon."
*Fight <<
Toriel: "What do y-Uak!"
*We plunge the knife into Toriel's chest. Through the knife, I feel her heartbeat stop.
Frisk: 'Don't worry, her heartache will end soon enough.'
*...Toriel falls to the floor.
Notes:
I'm gonna post a extra chapter today because I really want to finish this section.

*...
Toriel: "Y...you..."
Frisk: 'Still alive? Must be that soul of hers. Don't worry, I'll finish this.'
*You stomp down at Toriel's head. Her face crumples, then begins to fall apart. Her dust spilling onto the floor as her eyes lose their form.
Toriel: "really...hate me that much?"
Chara: "M-"
Frisk: 'Don't say a word! What good would come of her knowing that she forced us to kill her?"
*...
Frisk: 'Endure this. This is your punishment for being weak. For letting all those monsters die.'
*You killed them!
Frisk: 'And you watched! You could've stopped me at any point, just like you'd stopped me before. But you didn't. Because for all your whining you don't give two craps about those monsters.'
*T-that's not true...I didn't know I-
Frisk: 'Excuses, you just didn't care. And in the end, wether you like it or not, you killed her.'
*...
Toriel: "Now I see who I was protecting by keeping you here...not you...but them!'
Frisk: 'It's true. As long as your with me, you're going to kill. It's inevitable. But this...this is just disgusting. If it wasn't for your mistake we'd had looped and been able to kill her without her even noticing. So next time-'
Toriel: "Ha...ha..."
*Toriel's heart shakes, then breaks, and finally, shatters apart.
Frisk: 'Don't get in my way.'
*...You move onward.

Frisk: "What a mess."
*Pieces of the ceiling make it a tight fit even for your small frame. Leaving only one way forward, and once more, Flowey is in your way.
Frisk: 'Glad we're on the same page on what happens next.'
*You raise your knife.
Flowey: "Hahaha, you're really out for dust, aren't ya Chara?"
*You stop in place. You should move onward. You shouldn't let-
Frisk: 'No, this is important. That's your name, isn't it?'
*...
Frisk: 'How do you two know each other? Who is this Flowey guy? Why-'
*You are asking questions that have no answers.
Frisk: 'Maybe you don't but...'
Frisk: "Yup, I'm Chara. And you better listen unless-"
Flowey: "What, you'll kill me? Hahaha, you really are an idiot."
*The ruins shake, knocking you to the floor. The room's rigged.
Flowey: "No, this time, I'm in charge Chara! So you'll listen to ME. I've got a plan to become powerful enough to destroy this wretched world! And then start it anew, just to destroy everyone's hopes and dreams once more! An infinite path of ruined worlds by our hands, doesn't that sound fun?"
*You think it sounds horrible.
Frisk: 'Eh, it doesn't sound that bad.'
Frisk: "Alright, sure. But my memories are a bit fuzzy, who are you again?"
Flowey: "...You can't tell...even when your best friend is staring right at you?"
*...Asriel?
???: "N-no way...it can't be..."
Flowey: "Yes, it's me! The god of this world. Asriel Dre-"
Frisk: "Jerry!"
Flowey: "W-what? That guy wasn't even alive when we were around!"
Frisk: 'Wait, that's an actual person? I just choose the most obnoxious name I could imagine.'
Frisk: "Must be another Jerry you're thinking of. But if that's not you then it could only be my true mate, my partner for life, my love-"
Flowey: "We were not lovers! Ugh, just the idea makes me sick."
Frisk: "Hm. well, that rules out Mrs.Mixclick. Guess you must be-"
Flowey: "Asriel! I'm Asriel Dreemurr!"
Frisk: "Never heard of him."
Flowey: "WE LIVED TOGETHER YOU IDIOT! We...hehehahahhahaHAHAHAHAH! I get it Chara! You're messing with me, just another one of your pranks. But Golly, ya know what they say, the best pranks always have counter pranks!"
Frisk: "...Yeah no one says tha-"
*The room rumbles, the ceiling crumbles, the collapse of the ruins is imminent. Good job.
Frisk: 'Shut up!'
Flowey: "Better get moving Chara!"
Frisk: "Why you-"
*Flowey plops into the ground. You should probably start running.
Frisk: "Fine!"
*You dash towards the exit door, slamming it open right before a chunk of the ceiling smashes into you.
*The ground is...snowy.
Notes:
That's the end of the ruins! Hope you liked it, and feel free to suggest any cool ideas for Snowdin!

sans: "that's...nice. (Gee, lady, you were worried about this psycho?) OK, i got it, thanks for the advice. i'll make sure to drink my milk from now on. anyway, i'm sans. sans the skeleton. i'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now. but...well a lil spider came through these parts not too long ago. looked stressed. and not that long after i heard a big sound coming from the ruins. i'm guessin it's related. so these bones are focused on crackin that mystery, do you know anything about it kiddo?"
Frisk: "Y'know, how about I show you..."
*...You aren't attacking?
Frisk: 'I'm trying to! I just...can't!'
sans: "...........okay. im gonna take that as a no. thanks for the heads up though. and since you've been so kind I figure I might as well return the favor. you see I don't care much about capturing any humans, but my brother, papyrus? he's a human-hunting FANATIC. hey, actually. I think that's him over there. I have an idea, go through this gate thingy-"
*You move on without hearing the rest of sans spiel.
sans: "hey slow down kiddo, wouldn't want ya to get hurt.'
*You reach an open area of snow with a conveniently shaped lamp nearby.
sans: "quick, behind that conveniently-shaped lamp."
*You do not do that.
sans: "...uh, ok, i guess you don't have to."
Papyrus: "SANS!!! HAVE YOU FOUND A HUMAN YET!??!"
*Your ears burn from all caps.
sans: "yeah."
Papyrus: "REALLY!?!? WOWIE!!! GUESS THAT'S SETTLED!!"
*Papyrus leaves.
sans: "that worked o-"
*You move onward.
sans: "heya, kid, slow down a bit! i need to get to my bro first, help get his puzzles ready ya know?"
*...You slow down?
Frisk: 'I'm trying to move! What the fudge is going on!'
sans: "thanks kid. ya know usually i'd take a shortcut but...uh they haven't been working recently."
*sans starts walking away, but stops and just...stands there.
sans: "be real with me kid, have you...changed something?"
Frisk: "What?"
sans: "...guess not. alright. just try to behave around my brother, it make him real happy. see ya."
*sans leaves.

Frisk: 'So the file name changes depending on who's in control. And these star things are made by...Flowey?'
*You remember Flowey mentioning how this power was stolen.
Frisk: 'I guess he used to be able to loo-'
*Reset.
Frisk: 'That makes it sound like it's a video game.'
*And saving is not?
Frisk: 'Hmm. Do you think I could make these stars? It could be useful.'
*You think it's possible.
Frisk: 'Alright...wait. We jumped a level! I wonder why?'
*...
Frisk: '...Anyway, let's get going.'
*You move onward and find an orange box. You look inside.
Frisk: 'Cool, Tough Gloves. Pops used to use this on me! Wait, I remembered something! Awesome! Maybe that's why I jumped down here. What about you?'
*...
Frisk: 'Come on I already know you were down here at some point. And met that...Asriel fellow? Was he always a flower? Or was he a sprout at some point? Like sprout the sprout? Was Asriel just a nickname or-'

Snowdrake: "Damn it lesser dog, you can't SLIP UP at a time like this!"
*Sad dog noises.
Green IceCap: "Is it really time for puns? Ugh, you told me this would be quick!"
Red IceCap: "Guys, relax, human! You won't attack us, right? I mean, you could break my hat, and you have to admit it's a good hat right?"
Ice IceCap: "Shut up red, no one cares about your stupid hat...but my hat is something worth talking about, right human?"
Hatless IceCap: "I want a hat..."
*Jerry clicks away at its phone, is it even aware of what's going on? Probably not.
Gyftrot: "We're all gonna die! I blame you Snowdrake."
Snowdrake: "N-not cool! What did I do?"
Gyftrot: "I don't know! But you did something bad!"
Chilldrake: "Yo yo amgios. There ain't no need for beef! Let's just ignore the turn order and put this human to sleep! Feel me my homie?"
*Collective groans, including your own, do critical damage to Chilldrakes psyche.
Chilldrake: "Wassup with this hate, ya know ya boy-"
Snowdrake: "Can't you just speak normally man? You aren't... snow hooded or whatever."
Chillidrake: "Pssh, ya trippin Snowy, y'know I sip caps and shoot models...fuck I got it wrong, g-guys hold up I-"
Glyde: "Glyde shall be the one to end the human! Glyde doesn't need none of you fools! Glyde!!!"
Frisk: "Okay, I get the rest of you losers but what the heck is this...THING on?"
Snowdrake: "Ignore him, he just finished watching the incredible muck. His-"
Glyde: "GLYDE SMASH!"
Snowdrake: "Gonna be like that for a while..."
Frisk: "Okay. There's like, what...10 of you?"
Snowdrake: "16. There are a few Ice caps in the back."
Rainbow Icecap: "My hat has the most colo-"
Frisk: "Shut the fudge up, no one cares. But uhm, 16? Like I'm glad you all saved me the work of searching for you but isn't this breaking the rules just a tad? How about like... 3 at a time. I think-"
Chillidrake: "After what you did to the ruins?! Nah, we're ganging up on you to make sure you never hurt another monster again. This ain't about money or fame, it's about standing up to the Man!... Well, the child in this case."
Snowdrake: "...uhm, though it would be nice if Mettaton gave me an interview, snowflakes don't get far as comedians hahah..."
Green IceCap: "Well, I'm all about justice, but we better do it in style. That's why I'll be telling Mettaton that my hat should feature-"
Frisk: "I get it! You like your hats! I-"
Hatless IceCap: "I just wanted a hat out of thi-"
Frisk: "MMMPHH. I'm making all your deaths excruciatingly painful. After you tell me how you know what I did to the ruins."
Gyftrot: "You better not tell!"
Snowdrake: "Chill, I won't! This human doesn't deserve-"
Frisk: "I won't hit you first if you tell me."
Snowdrake: "A spider told me!"
ChillDrake: "Bro seriously?"
Gyftrot: "I KNEW YOU'D BETRAY ME SNOWDRAKE! I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT-"
*Angry dog noises.
Glyde: "Glyde smash Snowdrake after-"
*The monsters go quiet as they hear an ear-piercing laugh. A laugh that shakes their souls and makes the cold of the snow feel warm. A laugh that screams of danger. A laugh that could only belong to one person, You.
Frisk: "I get it! Y'know how to speak spider, because you get all your jokes...from the web! Ahh, Snowdrake, don't give me that frown, you got at least one fan before being dusted."

Chapter Text
Frisk: "Hehe, ya'll be shakin and quakin while thinkin about who's the first that'll I'll be takin. But Snowdrake trust me I keep my promises, so I'll let you watch as I turn all your friends to dust!"
*The monsters scurry back...except jerry.
Frisk: "In a hurry so I go to bury the jerry who thought I wasn't all that scary. Hit it with a right hook so smashin that the ground is crackin!"
*...
Frisk: "What the heck? Jerry's unmoved barely lookin like it's bruised. Others monsters catch on, but I ain't acceptin that this loser's my match. Readyin a ferocious barrage till Gyftrot slams me and bam!"
HP: 36/40
Frisk: "On the floor, I swore I heard a chorus, I look up to find IceCaps singing without a single word. Instincts take over. I roll right before my soul is shattered by rising Ice shards from below. Barley get a chance to breathe before Snowy and Chill send out a dozen unlovin ice attacks to me."
Snowdrake: "Ya think ya cold but you about to be snowed in by the monsters of snowdin!"
Frisk: "Ice attacks increasin! Barley dodgin but still movin! I may be hurtin but I'm still certain that you'll be dusted an-"
Lesser dog: "B-b-bark bark bark, w-woof w-woof woooof!"
Frisk: "Such a verbal barrage got me nearly as distracted as their sword slashes. But I still-ugh!"
HP: 30/40
HP: 26/40
HP: 22/40
Frisk: "Multiple hits from the Snowdrakes gave me a real ache as my knees quake and give in to the pain."
Lesser dog: "Bark bark woof!"
Frisk: "Thinkin I'm weak just because I'm on my knees?"
Lesser Dog: "Bark bark, BARK!"
Frisk: "Big mistake! I slip under their swing then connect with a thundering h-OW!"
HP: 21/40
Frisk: "Iron armor, of course! They swing again, but I ain't stickin to brawl against them, narrowly avoid Snowdrakes hits, kick back Gyftrot's gift then speed up a gear to avoid Icecaps spikes. Puffing and huffing but I got their attack patterns down, only bit more till-"
Glyde: "GLYDE SMASH!"
HP: 15/40
*You feel your bones creaking.
Frisk: "f-Fudge!"
*You grit your teeth and grab Glyde's tail.
Frisk: "Calling upon my inner strength I haul Glyde and ready to smash those monsters into tiny bits. Wit's end, you're all dead, about to be dusted. A-"
Glyde: "GLYDE BEAM!"
HP: 5/40
*The laser sends you flying, then crashing through 3 trees!
*You can taste the blood on your lip, another slip and defeat will be your final meal.
*Lesser dog readies to cut you in twain, the Snowdrakes prepare ice attacks to shatter your brain, Icecaps singing to strike with their spikes, Gytrot crafts up your death gift, Glyde's beams about to pulverize your dreams! Jerry's picking its nose! The end up approaches and what can you do, but accept that this is your doom!
Frisk: "Heh, nice lyrics. But ya know that I'll always come back, each time viler than the last. Our past may be rough but I'll need you to suck it up, or I'll make snowdin hotter than hell!"
*...You can't win.
Frisk: "With you or not I'll win eventually, you'll just make the job go quickly, or do you want these monsters to suffer a fate even rougher than your Toriel did?"
*...What do you suggest?
Snowdrake: "What the snow are you talking about!"
Chilldrake: "Relax. He's just a whacko, will soon pu-"
Glyde: "Glyde beam at 70%. 80%. 90%! Glyde beam maximum-"
*You struggle up.
Frisk: "How about...a...Duet!"
*...
*Song of dusty snow. <<
Notes:
These chapters really tucker me out. Again, songs are hard! Lol.

Chapter Text
*Situation so dire no way you'll survive unless you go through their gunfire.
Frisk: "But HP is low, need to choose the right blows, but-"
*Glyde's beam will be alone, push through it and-
Frisk: "No way, I'd be killed in an instant. That-"
*Got a way to survive but you'll need to take the pain.
Frisk: "If it keeps me alive I'll take it with a grin."
*Run.
Frisk: "I dash and in a flash all their attacks leave no gaps so I take the advice and crash into Glyde's beam!"
*The pain is searing. I can feel them reeling but at the same time, I take out a snack and eat the donut right before we fade to black!
HP: 7/40
Frisk: "Body burning yet somehow less hurting after chowing down. Don't get it but don't need to, I charge at Glyde with the intent to make him bleed but Icecap's spikes block my strike! There ain't much time before their next hits, and I ain't sure if I'll be able to survive it!"
*Jerry is still picking its nose.
Frisk: "Risky endeavor but I don't have much better so I leap at its blind spot and grab Jerry from behind."
*Jerry is STILL picking its nose. Gross.
Frisk: "Bad hostage I admit but will you monsters really let this innocent die just because of your dislike?"
*The monsters look at each other, uncertain of what to do now.
Snowdrake: "I mean...we don't have much of a choice."
Chilldrake: "Jerry died as a martyr! As a monster who sacrificed its life to take down THE MAN!"
Green IceCap: "You mean the child?"
Lesser Dog: "Woof woof woof."
Frisk: "Damn! Lesser dog, that's cold, even for me."
Glyde: "Beam 70%, 80%, 90%-"
Gyftrot: "I bet you guys planned this all along! Do you take me for a fool? I won't be next, I-"
Frisk: "Okay, I'm not hearing all of you guys blabber. Can we just like...get back to sing fighting?"
Snowdrake: "...Yeah okay."
*Jerry takes out its earbuds.
Jerry: "Wait sorry guys I was listening to Mettaton's new Asmr, why is this kid holding me? Is this RP or-AHH"
*You chuck Jerry at Glyde's beam, it screams as even its dust is pulverized.
*Jerry's eliminated.
Frisk: "Jump over ice spikes then slide under icicles all the while deflecting gifts like I'm Saint.Nicholas's antithesis. Go for a punch at Lesser Dog's head but his neck grows three sizes then swings to cut me in half?"
HP: 5/40
Frisk: "Cheek bleeding while I'm kneeling. Same situation as before yet still got nothing to floor this canine."
*Head too tall to hit, armor too rough to brawl with, all that's left is the stuff underneath it!
Frisk: "Look at its paws no different than straw I snap them in half with a single smack!"
Lesser dog: "Woooof-"
Frisk: "On its way to the ground I uppercut its head and finally put this mutt down!"
*Lesser Dog eliminated.
*All the monsters are in terror but none as much as Gyftrot. They run from their pack-
Frisk: "And with no one to cover their backs I easily sneak up and roadkill this deerly foolish deer!"
*Gyftrot eliminated.
Frisk: "Yet I ain't satiated, Glyde I remember you said you could take me, so quite flaking and face me!"
Snowdrake: "Snow chance of that, guys we need to get bold not fold to this maniacs ac-"
Glyde: "GLYDE DON'T NEED HELP! GLYDE SMASH. GLY-"
Frisk: "Your impression of the incredible muck sucks!"
*...That's all?
Frisk: 'Just wait for it.'
Glyde: "Come on...that hurt my feelings. I tried really hard on it!"
*...
Frisk: 'That's...not the reaction I expected.'
*Let me try.
Chara: "Isn't that out of character?"
Glyde: "Oh right my bad. GLYDE SMASH YOU!"
Snowdrake: "Come on man!"
Frisk: "Can't believe that worked. Still ain't easy with the ground shaking from his tail smashing but I ain't no snail so I nail him with a jab and a hook then before I know it I'm hailing down blows on this wailing whale."
Glyde: "But I'm based on a snake!"
Frisk: "Don't care! About finish him off before his tail beam goes off, but that was all part of my scheme! I leap to the side and let Glyde take his own life."
*Glyde eliminated.
Chilldrake: "But we weren't sitting back while you were killing are friends! A hundred dozen icicles are prepared to pierce you bro, so what's your last words before ya end?"
*You crack your neck unaffected by their expected counterattack.
Frisk: "To you? That your minutes are numbered and you'll soon be murdered so don't bother with praying because I'll never be sparing anyone of you!"
*Without another word you charge forward only to notice that the floor is getting spiky.
Frisk: "So that's their plan? Forced to jump as the icicles target me in mid-air."
Snowdrake: "You've got nowhere left to run! See ya in hell!"
*Situation so dire no way we'll survive unless we go through their gunfire.
*As we tighten our fists a feeling that was previously unclear brightens.
Frisk/Chara: "Oh snowy, why would I run."
*We're filled with the strength,
Frisk/Chara: "When I'm more monstrous than all of you combined!"
*Of two becoming ONE!
*Faster stronger pushing harder never falter even when our bones crack we keep up the attack!
HP: 1/40
*Landing with a smile as thousands of icicle fragments fall to the floor. Snowdrake and the rest can barely comprehend how our fists could even move so fast. Feel limitless power coursing through our veins as Hatless Icecap is...crying?
*You laugh it off but that feels wrong, and just like that, our connection shatters apart. With all our power gone your legs are like jelly, barely standing, no way you can dodge much less finish off the job.
Frisk: 'Idiot, I'm more than brawns, I still got one more trick to make them sing their swan song.'
*You puff out your chest and act as if you're some sort of bear while growling and drooling madly.
*The monsters step back, too scared to counterattack, you save face then give chase.
*The icecaps are slowed down by their hats.
Frisk: "I make sure to shatter their pride before I let them die. So each one of their hats gets torn asunder! Then I wonder how it feels to do the same to their brains!"
*Icecaps eliminated.
*The hatless icecap cries as it tries to put back together the snow of its friends.
Frisk: "You wanted a hat right? That's nice, consider it your death gift!"
*...You stab the shattered pieces of the Icecap's friend's hats into their head.
*Hatless icecap eliminated.
Frisk: "Snowdrake, Chilldrake, quit running away, you both know I'll get you anyway!"
Chilldrake: "Stand back y-you freak!"
Frisk: "Is that a stutter I hear? Have you finally understood who ya dealing with?"
Snowdrake: "W-wait, please stop! Don't kill us, we can help, we ca-"
Chilldrake shatters into pieces with a single blow.
Chilldrake eliminated.
Frisk: "Sorry snowflake. But this melody needs one last scream."
You grab Snowdrake by the jaw and begin tearing it open. Bit by bit his body splits apart as his scream goes higher and higher, before crescendoing and-
Snowdrake eliminated.
...
Frisk: "Oh, don't feel bad. I kept you in mind. I was-"
You won.

Papyrus: "SO SANS! WHEN'S THE HUMAN SHOWING UP??? I WANT TO LOOK MY SUNDAY BEST...OR AT LEAST MY TUESDAY PRETTY GOOD."
sans: "don't you have only one outfit?"
Papyrus: "Yeah but I could style my hair."
Frisk: "I like ponytails."
*...?
Papyrus: "SAME! THEIR CUTE! SO SANS WHA-...WAIT!"
*Papyrus looks at you then looks at sans, then sans looks at you, and then looks at Papyrus, who looks at you. Then looks at sans again, this goes on for a while. Eventually, they start spinning like tiny hurricanes.
Papyrus: "SANS I CHECKED THEM IN ALL 360 DEGREES, AND I THINK THAT'S A HUMAN!!!"
sans: "really? it looks like a stone."
*...There is a stone behind you.
Papyrus: "NO, THE THING INFRONT OF THE STONE SANS."
sans: "oh, woah. you're right papyrus, good catch."
Papyrus: "WAIT, SANS I JUST CALLED IT A THING! DO YOU THINK I HURT THEIR FEELINGS?"
sans: "what? nah papyrus that thing's a stone-cold killer! it doesn't feel a thing."
Papyrus: "SANS!!! YOU'RE BEING RUDE, AND TO A GUEST NO LESS. FIX UP TH-OH NO THAT POOR STONE!"

Frisk: 'Don't tell me your Pro-stone or some deranged crap like that.'

Frisk: '...Just because I can't name them doesn't mean it didn't happen. I just wasn't listening.'
Papyrus: "JOKES ASIDE. HUMAN, PREPARE YOURSELF!! FOR HIGH JINKS! LOW JINKS! DANGER! PUZZLES! CAPERS! JAPERS! BEING CAPTURED! AND OTHER-"
Frisk: "And pulling hair?"
Papyrus: "UM...SANS DO WE HAVE PULLING HAIR ON THE SCHEDULE?"
sans: "we have a schedule?"
Papyrus: "OF COURSE WE DO SILLY BONES! DO YOU THINK THOSE PUZZLE SPOTS ARE FREE? WE GOT TO BE DONE AND CLEAN UP AT 9PM SHARP"
sans: "no wait papyrus the contract stated that-"
Frisk: "That's a shame, no point in having a ponytail without some tugging."
Papyrus: "...What?"
*You move forward.
Frisk: "I mean. The feeling of having someone's head so easily restrained by their own foolish choice. The slight quiver in their lips whenever you tug it hard. And of course the ripping sound of hair strands snapping apart. Doesn't that sound delightful?"
*You keep moving forward.
Papyrus: "NYEHEHEH...HEH. I...I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND HUMAN."
Frisk: "That's right. Prey never understands the joys of a predator, that's how nature is."
*sans stands between you and Papyrus. His eyes are pure black. he seems angry.
Frisk: 'he shouldn't be, he should be fudging terrified. I'll teach him why. I'll-"
*Once more, you find yourself unable to strike.
sans: "i...i think it be best if we go papyrus."
Papyrus: "OH, O-OKAY. SEE YOU HUMAN!"

Frisk: "...Whatever. They can only get lucky for so long. Soon, I'll be burying those bones.

Doggo: "H-hey, what the hell! That's not how you pet people! Stay away!"
*You try to dodge a blue slash, only for it to extend and hit you anyway.

Frisk: 'What the heck?'
*Blue means you need to stop.

Doggo: "uu-aguh-"
Frisk: "Speak up, I can't hear!"
Doggo: "P-ple-"
Frisk: "More? Why of course! I'll give all the pets to good boys like you-"
*You continue to bang Doggo against the wood, it begins to crack.
Frisk: "After all, you like pets, don't you, don't you?"
Frisk: "RIGHT BOY?"!
*The wood snaps apart, and with it, Doggo turns to dust.
*You won.
*You earned 30 XP and 30 gold.
*You huff and puff, hands sore from your smashing.
Frisk: 'Y'know, I felt a distinct lack of you helping out.'
*...
Frisk: 'I won't be so easy on the next monster, so you better give me the power we had when we worked as one, or I'm gonna make this real painful for everyone. Got it?'

Frisk: 'Pff. Fine, be quiet. You'll learn to listen soon enough.'

(This was not part of the original text but while copying it from Royal Road it accidentally came with. And honestly I find it funny to add. Something is being advertised, the question is however, what is it? Probably Azarnith Healer Book One.)
Notes:
Oh my goodness that puzzle though? Whef honestly I wrote myself in a corner with that one guys. But hopefully my conclusion to how Frisk managed to escape the INVISIBLE MAZEEE! ™ is satisfactory.

Chapter Text
*You pass a small bridge. Beyond it is a spacious area of snow with a giant Snowball. You can see a small hole in the far distance. Papyrus is on a ladder...made out of snow. Sans is in a snow bean bag.
Papyrus: "BEHOLD HUMAN! THE SNOWBALL PUZZLE! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAVE MADE THIS STUNNINGLY STUNNING PUZZLE TO-"
sans: "wait, I thought this was a local kid's game?"
Papyrus: "W-WHY YES, WHILE THIS WAS ONCE A SIMPLE CHILDREN'S GAME I HAVE TRANSFORMED IT INTO SOMETHING GREATER! BEHOLD!"
*Papyrus presses a snow button. The snow underneath the snowball melts away, reveali-
Frisk: "ICE!!!"
Papyrus: "I SEE THAT YOU'RE A FAN! ONE COULD SAY THAT'S...NICE?"
*...Oh, this poor fool.
Papyrus: "YES! ICE PHYSICS MAKES EVEN THE MOST TERRIBLE OF GAMES WORSE!!! JUST ASK MEDDIT."
Frisk: "THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING!!"
Papyrus: "I KNOW! IT'S TERRIFIC!"
Frisk: "Ugh, I'm not doing your stupid ice puzzle!"
Papyrus: "OH...SORRY HUMAN. I THOUGHT SINCE YOU WERE SO ROUGH THAT YOU'D LIKE SOMETHING SPOOKY. BUT IF IT'S TOO SCARY I UNDERSTAND."
Frisk: "I'm not scared."
sans: "bro rough or not they're still a kid, you gotta hold back a bit."
Papyrus: "OH NO, YOU'RE RIGHT SANS! I-"
Frisk: "Oh you think you're funny, don't you smiley face?"
*...
PAPYRUS: "I...DON'T REMEMBER MAKING A JOKE HUMAN."
sans: "I think they're talking about me papyrus."
Frisk: "Who the fudge do you think I am? Some cartoon character who's going to play your bro's stupid game because 'Ooh wow the gender-neutral kid is scared?'? Like I'm some sort of idiot. Is that what you think Sans, that I'm dumb?"
sans: "...we were just playing around kid. it isn't a-"
Frisk: "Big deal? Yeah, I know. Nothing you do is a big deal, you're bones waiting to be buried. I'm the big deal. I'm the smart one. I'm the thing-"
*You grab the snowball
Frisk: "That's FUCKING terrifying!"
*You chuck the snowball at Papyrus!
*BAM!
Sans: "PAPYRUS!"
*A fall from that height...you could have killed him.
Frisk: 'I know, talk about unlucky.'
*Sans helps Papyrus back up.
Papyrus: "D-DON'T WORRY SANS, I'M FINE! AND I'M SURE THE HUMAN H-HAD THEIR REASONS."
Sans: "Papyrus they-"
Papyrus: "I-It's fine Sans. I'll walk it off. a-AND HUMAN, IT SEEMS NEITHER OF MY PUZZLES INTEREST YOU. HONESTLY, WEIRD. BUT AS THEY SAY, THIRD TIMES THE CHARM! NYEHEHEH-...ow"
*Papyrus limps away.
*...
Sans: "You."
Frisk: "Heh, what are you a barbarian now?"
Sans: "You are really pushing my limit kid. "
Frisk: "Sounds like fighting words, smiley face."
sans: "...heh, i would if i could. not like it would matter... go to hell."
Frisk: "Don't be stupid sans."
Frisk: "I am hell."

Chapter 26: Word searches, Spaghetti, and puzzles done by others!
Summary:
Nothing too interesting in this one.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*You move onward and find a piece of paper abandoned on the ground.
*You move to it.
*It's a word search. Seems like this was the next puzzle.
Frisk: 'Couldn't I just move around it though?'
*You get the distinct impression that your prior actions resulted in such confusion.
Frisk: 'Oh yeah consequences, never liked them.'
*You leave the word search to be buried by the snow.
*You move onward.
Frisk: 'Ok I've heard that line like over a dozen times. Can't you say something else when I'm moving around?'
*Your deformed leg drags you across th-
Frisk: 'I told you it's a condition! Stop being ableist!'
*...I never said it was a bad thing.
Frisk: 'Well... deformed implies a level of negativity. And I don't need to be reminded about how hard it is to walk with this leg.'
*I see, my apologies. I'll stop making fun of you once you stop killing innocents.
Frisk: 'Oh, so just because I'm a murder I don't deserve respect?'
*...Yes, of course not! Why would I want a murderer to feel good while their murdering?
Frisk: 'Chara, when I get back to the surface and find a good signal of wifi the first thing I'm gonna do is cancel you on twatter.'
*...What's twatter?
Frisk: 'W-what time period did you live in?
*201X
Frisk: 'That's not a date! And twatter was around by 201X!
*Oh, I remember. I used bookface since twatter is the place where angry fat deformed-leg kids go.
Frisk: 'You didn't forget crap! You just wanted to make that joke!'
*Yup.
Frisk: 'Just you wait, I'm finding your twatter account and-wait what's that smell?"
*Seems like...spaghetti.
Frisk: 'Why is spaghetti here...why is there a table in the middle of nowhere. Why-"
*You realize that there's a note next to the table.
*DEAR HUMAN! AS A APOLOGY FOR NOT MEETING YOUR IMPRESSIVELY HIGH STANDARDS, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE MADE YOU A PLATE OF SPAGHETTI!! FEEL FREE TO EAT AWAY!!! NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!
BTW SANS KEEPS BEING WRONG ABOUT CROSSWORDS BEING HARDER THAN JUNIOR JUMBLES. COULD YOU SETTLE THIS DEBATE ONCE AND FOR ALL AND PROVE THAT I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM RIGHT?
*JUNIOR JUMBLES (SHH, CHOICE THIS ONE!) *crosswords. (thing)
*You rip the paper into tiny pieces.
Frisk: 'Honestly I prefer deciphering metube comments'
*What?
Frisk: 'Have you seen their spelling? It's practically a murder trail with grammar as the victim!'
*...Murder trial.
Frisk: '...Fudge!'
Frisk: 'Whatever, I'm...yeah I'm stealing this spaghetti! I'm sure there's something I can use it for.'
*You obtain the gifted spaghetti.
Frisk: 'No, I stole the gifted spaghetti.'
*...You move onward.
*Before you is a road blocked off by sharp spikes that'll require searching and puz-
*Vine clicking noise
*...The sharp spikes go down.
Frisk: 'Guess that Flower is useful for something at least.'
*You move onward.
*You mo-
???: "What's that smell?"
???: "(Where's that smell?)"
???: "If you're a sme-"
Frisk: 'Let's not waste time, y'know what to do.'
*You charge at the hooded dogs and-
*Fight

*In our way.

Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Dogamy: "No. 2 Nuzzle Champs '98!!...H-hey, this weird smell. It doesn't feel...human."
Dogaressa: "You're right, it's...different."
???: "As two become one, as two become one, as two become one"
Dogamy: "W-why are they saying that?"
Dogaressa: "I don't know, but it's making my hair’s stand straight. And I just got them done by the Barber! The audacity of this-"
Dogamy: "L-let's run."
Dogaressa: "Don't be ridiculous! We're Royal Guards, we can't just-"
Dogamy: "No, you don't get it Dogaressa. This smell, it's-"
Dogaressa: "D-Dogamy, w-where did your head go? C-come on, a head can't just vanish. It ca-"
*Dogaressa's eyes look past the still-standing but headless Dogamy. She stares us down, teeth clenching tight as we toss Dogamy's head to her feet.
Dogaressa: "You, YOU DEMON! I'LL KILL YOU!"
*The ground shakes as Dogaressa takes her first and final step forward. Her arms bulge and her back moves with the blow. The axe itself is nothing more than a blur, a weapon with no true shape, only a purpose. Our death.
*The issue is, the fact I could narrate all of this proves that she was still too slow.
Dogaressa: "U-uuhk."
Dogaressa: 'M-my gut, this demon punched right through it...when...how...?'
*Dogaressa falls to her knees.
Dogaressa: 'Oh...I see...so this is the smell...'
*Dogaressa turns to dust.
Dogaressa: 'Of....bloodlust.......'
*We won.
*We earned 60 XP and 50 Gold.

Frisk: 'Don't be like that, come on, it was quick.'
*...I guess.
Frisk: "Great, now do your whole...I moved onward schtick."
*...You move onward. You pass puzzles already completed, puzzles abandoned... illegible chicken scratches on paper. i-
Frisk: "ICE PUZZLES!"
*...That. But no matter what, You move onward. You even manage to get through the dangerous snow puff biome. And-
*...A dog emerges from the snow puff.
Frisk: 'Sweet, a fight! Let's-"
*We won.
*You earned 80 XP and 60 gold.
Frisk: 'H-hey don't just take control of my body like that. I wanted to have fun beating it up.'
*Which is why I eliminated it. There is no point in dragging out its inevitable end.
Frisk: 'Hmm, I'm gonna need to teach you how to not be such a party pooper. At least wait until the battle screen shows up before killing it, I like clicking buttons."
*...You move onward.
*Steadily you begin crossing a long bridge, only for a voice to stop you halfway.
Papyrus: "HALT HUMAN. I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE COME TO A REALIZATION ABOUT YOU."
Frisk: "And what would that be long bones?"
Papyrus: "THAT YOU HUMAN ARE A VERY, VERY...LONELY PERSON."
Frisk: "What?
*What?
sans: "what do you mean there's no pizza? You're an ice cream guy, of course you have pizza! ...oh...oh sorry. yeah, I'll uh...hang up. so yeah paps nice cream guy moved places because of the...situation. So no ice cream pizza for us."
Papyrus: "WHAT? BUT THOSE COME WITH THE-"

Papyrus: "YOU KNOW THEIR BURGERS ARE TOO GREASY SANS. I'LL JUST HAVE TO MAKE SOME OF MY LEGENDARY SPAGHE-"
sans: "we're out of pasta bro."
Papyrus: "Ah...this is...troublesome to say the least."
Frisk: "Okay excuse me BUT weren't we having like...a moment?"
Papyrus: "OH RIGHT, YOUR LONELY."
*...
Frisk: "...Continue."
sans: "nah, that's it."
Papyrus: "YUP! WAIT, NO! SANS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO INVITE THEM FOR DINNER AFTER I EXPLAIN TO THEM WHY THEY'RE LONELY!"
sans: "...right."
Papyrus: "SIGH. LOOK HUMAN, THROUGHOUT THIS DAY I'VE NOTICED...PUZZLING EMOTIONS. OF WANTING TO BE NOTICED BUT FEELING IGNORED, OF TRYING TO BE BIGGER THAN YOU REALLY ARE, OF...OF FEAR. OF BEING SCARED OF WHAT STANDS BEFORE YOU. ALL THESE FEELINGS...THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL, DON'T YOU?"
*...
Frisk: "..."
Papyrus: "IT'S NO WONDER YOU ACT SO COLD, YOU THINK THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU ARE JUST AS BAD! WELL, I THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL SHOW YOU THE GOOD SIDE OF US MONSTERS. IN THE ULTIMATE PUZZLE, THE PUZZLE OF FRIENDSH-"
*You hold out the Spaghetti you'd obtained.
Papyrus: "S-SANS LOOK! THE HUMAN TOOK MY SPAGHETTI! I TOLD YOU THAT THEY-"
*And you chuck it to the forest below.
Papyrus: "Oh...."
sans: "...i think they're just a jerk pap."
Papyrus: "AH...WELL, IT'S NO BIGGIE. I MEAN, I'D NEED TO CAPTURE THEM ANYWAY. IT...WAS PROBABLY A STUPID IDEA TO TRY TO BEFRIEND THEM. I MEAN, THEY ARE A HUMAN AND UNDYNE-"
sans: "nah. ain't nothing wrong with making friends paps! your heart was in the right place...just...not in the right person."
Papyrus: "I GUESS...."
sans: "hey, y'know what pap? ice cream guy may not be in snowdin, but they are in hotland. if i go and then come back quickly i'm sure i can bring it here before it melts."
Papyrus: "I DON'T KNOW SANS, HOTLAND IS PRETTY FAR FR-"
sans: "i'll ask for the pink pterodactyl to complete your set."
Papyrus: "FINALLY, MY RAINBOW PTERODACTYL COLLECTION WILL BE COMPLETE! THANKS SANS!!!"
sans: "your welcome bro."
Papyrus: "AH, AND YOU HUMAN...WELL, I'M A BIT WORRIED...FOR YOU. BUT I'M SURE I'LL COME UP WITH A GREAT SOLUTION ONCE MY RIBCAGE IS FULL! NYEHEHEH...ow."
*Papyrus limps away.
*You cross the remaining portion of the bridge.
sans: "hmmm...in the end, i guess we still had a good time. even with your antics...heheh, we'd have a lot better time if you weren't around though."
Frisk: "Sounds like fighting words to me."
sans: "again? is that all you think about? hurting people? Ha, worst of all my gut is telling me you're gonna end up fighting my brother real soon. hmm, considering all that, here's some friendly advice. if you keep going the way you are now..."
Frisk: "..."
sans: "you're going to have a bad time-"
Frisk: "When."
sans: "...what?"
Frisk: "When am I going to have a bad time?"
sans: "...not the point kid."
Frisk: "Oh sorry, was that bad timing?"
sans: "i'm gonna blink out of existence now."
Frisk: "How ironic, it seems you're the one who had a bad time."
*But nobody listened.
Frisk: "Coward."

Frisk Lv 8 ?:??
*Save <
*Return
*...The town is silent.
Frisk: 'That's unfortunate, no new monsters to kill then.'
*You enter the shop.
Frisk: 'Mine.'
*You take two Cinnamon buns and equip the manly bandana.
*While you're shuffling through the shop's loot you find a small note glued onto one of the cabinets. You take it.
*"Please don't hurt my family."
*You rip the note into pieces.
Frisk: '...I didn't do that.'
*You open the cabinet that once had the note on it. You gain 758G from it.
Frisk: 'Ooh, a worthy tribute. What do you think, how big of a head start should we give their family?'
*None. Don't drag it out, just kill them.
Frisk: 'Pleh, party pooper.'
*You leave the shop and enter the inn.
*A kid, you dash towards them with a smile an-
*Oh, it's just a decoy.
Frisk: "Tch, talk about blue balls."

*You open the gifts, empty, how fitting. Wait, is tha-
Frisk: "Ohh, little monster kid, where do you think-"
Monster kid: "Yo! Y'know my name! Are you one of dad's friends?"
*You take mental damage from how stupid that name is.
Frisk: "Umh, no."
Monster kid: "Man, that sucks. N-not that you suck, I was just hoping to figure out where everyone went. I mean, what's the point of hiding when we got Undyne to protect us? That's why I think there actually making a super cool birthday party for me! O-oh right I forgot to tell you. My birthday is tomorrow, you better bring a present. Hahaha. Well, you don't need to, but it be cool if you did. I'd like-"
They talk too much.
Frisk: 'Agreed'
*Eliminate them.

Frisk: 'Come on, this dumbass is protected also? What the fudge is going on with this world!?'
*It be best to move on.
Frisk: 'No! I'm going to kill this bastard, I'm-'

Monster kid: "Yo, why are you shaking so mu-"

Monster kid: "Are you sick? Don't worry, my mom makes a killer-"
*Nothing happened
Monster kid: "Soup. It should help you fee-"
Frisk: "Tch, for everyone's sake, jump off a bridge you annoying brat."
Monster kid: "W-what?"
*You grin at Monster kid's horrified expression. You leave him to ponder on what the hell is wrong with you.
Frisk: 'Everything.'
*The local library is mispelle-
Frisk: 'Don't care, nerd crap, I'm jock as all heck! All the coaches slap my back and say I'm the MVP of the season. I'll bully the outcast nerd and then race them in my tezla while they use a hand-me-down vintage car that they got from their old sensei. And while we race will fight with karate and I won't get kicked in the face and become some drunk who later on senseis a kid called mueguel who then dates a girl who's the daughter of the guy who kicked me in the face. And my old teacher-'
*Are you fudging with me?
Frisk: '...A bit, I mean like, this place is a ghost town. There's nothing really to do but-'
*Keep moving.
Frisk: 'Yeah! Hopefully the next place has something fun to do.'
*Hmm.

Papyrus: "HALT HUMAN, I THE-"
*You move onward.
Papyrus: "I-i said halt!...Please?"
*You move onwa-
*...Blue bones block your path.
Papyrus: "I'm sorry human, but if you get any closer... I think you'll do something that you'll come to regret."
Chara/Frisk: "You're in my way."
Papyrus: "Were all those monsters in your way as well? Is that why you..."
Chara: "..."
Frisk: "Yes, everyone is in my way."
Papyrus: "O-okay. But...where are you going?"
Frisk "...The end."
Papyrus: "The end?"
Frisk: "When every soul has shattered, when every trace of life has been wiped, when the world is nothing but pitch black. I'll be at my destination, the end."
Papyrus: "I-I see...that...that explains a lot. I...Sans told me you'd killed them. That I should stay away from you. I didn't believe him. But after hearing that...and seeing how empty the town is...."
Chara: "Yeah, you should've stayed away. You should've listened. You should've known that if you faced me-"
Frisk/Chara: "You'd die."
Fight <<
*Papyrus blocks our way with walls of bones, Papyrus takes a defensive stance, Papyrus's preparations snap in half with a single punch. His body skids across the snow. His armor cracked from our blow.
*...? Despite being knocked down so easily, Papyrus still rises up with a grin.
Papyrus: "W-Woahy! You really are strong Human! Nearly as strong as I, T-"
Chara: "Shut up, don't waste my time with your blabbering."
Papyrus: "How could you say such a thing human!? Talking to you isn't a waste of time for me! I think that you-"
Chara: "It is! I'll kill you, that's what this is going to end with. You, DEAD! That's what I do! Murder! Hurt! Destroy! I-"
Papyrus: "That's not true. "
Chara: "..."
Papyrus: "This...end you speak of. I don't get why you'd want such a thing Human, and... I don't think I can approve of it. But I know deep down there's a person in there willing to listen, willing to be better, willing to take a new path!"
Chara: "...You're wrong. There's nothing good I can do. I don't WANT to do anything good! I'm...evil."
Papyrus: "Don't say such things! You're not evil at all Human!"
Chara: "Tch, then tell me one good thing I've done. One sign that I'm more than a killing machine? One act that makes it worth risking your life to help me!"
Papyrus: "...You care about me."
Chara: "I don't care-"
Papyrus: "Then why do you keep telling me that you're dangerous? That I'd be better off running away. That you're evil? Why even talk to me at all?"
Chara: "..."
Papyrus: "Despite how cruel you've been to me, you do care about me. At least a bit. So you're not evil, no one is! You've just gone down a dangerous path, and need help moving in the right direction. And I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WOULD BE MORE THEN WILLING TO HELP YOU! BECAUSE EVEN NOW, YOU CAN STILL BE A GOOD PERSON HUMAN. IF YOU JUST TRY!"
Frisk: 'Oh, I can't wait to shatter that optimism into a million pieces after we snap every bone in his body.'
*....
Frisk: 'What? Don't tell me you're actually believing the nonsense that guy is spitting out right? You killed people. You ruined lives. You deserve nothing more than a bath in the deepest pits of hell.'
*...I know.
Frisk: 'Good.'
*We prepare for battle.
Papyrus: "heheh...NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEHEH! VERY WELL HUMAN, I'LL SHOW YOU THE GREAT HEIGHTS YOU CAN ACHIEVE IF YOU SIMPLY TRY. FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, STAND BEFORE YOU. WITH MY SPECIAL ATTACK!"

Summary:

Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*A swarm of blue bones surrounds us, forcing us to stay still.
Papyrus: "YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE FINE, BUT HEAR ME OUT HUMAN! BY KILLING FOLK YOU'RE LOSING OUT ON GREAT THINGS LIKE FRIENDLY DATES OR FABULOUS FOOD. AND FOR WHAT, TO BE RUDE? THAT'S SURE TO LEAVE YOU IN A FOOL MOOD!"
Frisk/Chara: "Is that all your special attack is, stalling?"
Papyrus: "NYEHEHEH, DON'T BE FOOLED HUMAN. I DIDN'T GET SCHOOLED BY UNDYNE IN THE ART OF WAR TO END UP A NOVICE! IF A TUSSLE FOR THE MUSCLE IS WHAT YOU SEEK, THEN I SHALL PROVIDE."
*The blue bones vanish, and you feel a weird presence in your Soul. You realize that you can't move to your sides.
Papyrus: "YOU'RE BLUE NOW! BUT DON'T GET TOO SAD, THAT BE BAD!"
Frisk: "Your rhymes suck!"
Papyrus: "HEY! MY RHYMES ARE NEEDED TO MAKE MY ATTACKS AS GREAT AS THEY ARE! SO DON'T BERATE THEM UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN THEIR FULL COOLNESS"
*A wave of shortening bones rushes towards us, I take a few steps back, allowing the bones to go underneath our feet.
Chara: "Woah, really cool."
Papyrus: "NYEHEH, I'M ONLY GETTING WARMED UP. NOW, IT'S TIME FOR THE HARD-HITTING STUFF!"
*A wall of long bones comes at us.
Chara: "A single hit is all I need, to shatter the bones in front of me!"
*CRAK. The shockwave from the blow forces Papyrus to shield himself from the incoming bone fragments.
Chara: "Can't you see that as Headstrong as you are, you're song only prolongs, the end that will not bend! I can not make amends, so we can never be friends! Stop trying, and just accept you're dying!"
Papyrus: "I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S HARD, TO CHANGE WHO YOU ARE. BUT IT'S STILL IN THE CARDS, THAT YOU CAN BE A GOOD GUY. SO WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY?"
*Bones rise like a geyser beneath my feet. Shooting me up to the sky. I feel the magic in my soul vanish.
Frisk: 'Oh crap!'
*Hundreds of bones shoot at us. Leaving only a tiny hole for us to needle our body through. That hole begins to twist and turn, but by using the nearby bones I change our direction in the final moments before impact. Leaping bone from bone until Papyrus walls us off.
Frisk: 'My turn'
*Faster, harder, stronger blows come at the bones. Destroying wall after wall before finally reaching Papyrus a-
*MOVE!
*By a hair we avoid Papyrus's bone swing. The next ones are just as close as we're forced to leap to our sides to avoid the rising bones. The combination left no room for a counterattack. And our arms were getting sore from blocking. All the while he was smiling, as if this was a casual sparing match. Like at any moment, I'd concede and just become his friend.
Frisk: 'Let's prove how foolish he is, Faster.'
Chara: 'Harder'
Chara/Frisk: "STRONGER!"
*Grabbing his swing with one hand we pull him towards our own strike!
*!!!
Frisk: 'Tch, what a pain.'
*Using his own bone geysers Papyrus launched himself back before our strike could finish the skeleton. Yet...he's kneeling? You smile.
Frisk: 'Must be that limp, you can thank me later.'
*Using his bone to hold himself up, Papyrus's smile is finally gone. I grin.
Papyrus: "I JUST...I don't get it. what's the point of killing us? If you know it's bad, then why would you keep doing it. Is it...fun to hurt others?"
Frisk: 'Yup.'
Chara: "It's necessary."
Papyrus: "B-BUT IT'S NOT! SO MANY PEOPLE HERE GET BY JUST FINE, AND YOU CAN BE JUST AS-"
Chara: "You don't get it. Do you? It's no sweat being good when everything is in your favor. But what about the kids with absent parents? The children who are forced to fight for a crum of attention? Those who aren't even adolescents and come to this horrid mountain to...to...."
Chara: "Those people, who are born in cruelty end up giving the world nothing but that same hatred back. They can delude themselves into thinking they're good, that they've changed, that they've learned to love. But in the end, all they do is...is...."
Chara: 'Asriel. Are you watching? If I say I'm sorry...would that mean anything? Would pleading for forgiveness for dragging you to your death return you to your senses? Could it erase even the tiniest bit of pain that you must have gone through to become the twisted creature you are now?...No. It wouldn't matter at all. Because-'
Chara: "All they do is...cause pain for others. That's all I've ever done. Now, I'm just aware of it. The best I can offer is a quick death, nothing else, nothing more. That's the extent of the 'kindness' a horrid creature like me can provide."
*Papyrus is silent, I guess there's not a lot to say after that...
*I walk towards him, ready to finish the job.
Frisk: 'I'll let you have your way, go ahead, finish him quickly.'
*I ball my hand for the final blow, but when I see Papyrus raise his face my strength leaves me.
*...Tears
Cha ra: "...I get it, you're scared you're going to die. Well, trust me. It's just a whole lot of nothing, you won't feel bad or good. Just think of it as a long nap. Peaceful and uh...whatever"
Papyrus: "NYEHEHEH."
Chara: "...What's so funny?"
Papyrus: "WELL, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN NAPPING, MY BROTHER SANS HOWEVER IS A FANATIC AT IT. BUT ME? YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ME TAKING A LONG NAP HUMAN."
Chara: "Bold words for someone who just cried about dying."
Papyrus: "I didn't cry because of that. I cried because your sad."
Chara: "...I'd say I'm quite accepting of my situat-"
Papyrus: "SIGH, NO YOU POOR CHILD! It's sad...when someone can't see their own good traits. Their ability to be kind. Their greatness! To have such...disbelief for yourself... is sad. But-"
*Papyrus stands taller than ever before. His smile is brighter than the stars.
Papyrus: "That's why I'll keep believing you. No matter how long it takes, I'll show you the good within your heart. Because...I'LL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU!"
*....
Frisk: 'What an IDIOT.'
Chara: "...I take it back. You're not someone who had everything in their favor, you're just insane."
Papyrus: "HEY! EVEN IF YOU SAY THAT WITH A SMILE IT'S STILL HURTFUL HUMAN!"
Chara: "But that's what I do, hurt people. This would be a lot easier if you just understood that."
Papyrus: "MAYBE, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT, WOULD IT?"
Frisk: 'Stop stalling. In the end, those who yield are those who change. And those who yield lack what WE HAVE. The most important thing. The thing that decides everything.'
*...
Chara: "Alright. If you believe I can change, then prove it, change me. But in the end, you won't. You'll die. Because those who change people. Are those who are most determined."
Notes:
Oh nice, this fiction reached 1000 views on Royal Road and 100+ hits on Archive of our own at the time of writing this. It's uhm, not really much when you compare it to the other fishes in both lakes, but I'm glad at least a few people seem to be enjoying this story. To be honest I never planned to make this. My initial idea was a Deltarune fanfiction likely focusing on Kris relationships. But at one point I just got a funny genocide joke idea and decided to write it (It was the bad time joke lol). And it sorta spiraled from their.
This story is probably the one chance I have to communicate with the people currently reading. I mean I'm sure I can get other followers/viewers in other stories I make with enough time and frequent posting. But I don't really expect any of the undertale viewers on this to transfer over to any other content. So consider this the one little special gift I can give to you before we inevitably go our separate ways.

Anyway that's a link to a page BRIMMING (5 art pieces) with masterful art (Bad kleki stick figures) of some of the most epic moments and depictions of the characters. Go check it out, it's my gift to you...
Actually considering how much lamer it is compared to how cool everything is in your imagination...maybe don't.
Feel free to suggest any more poorly drown kleki moments.
(Changed link to ensure everyone can enjoy my beautiful kleki artworks.)Also the color coding in the royal road one makes this whole scene a bit easier to understand.

Chapter 32: Purification.
Summary:
Corrupted or Purified, in the end it's still them.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*Fight
*Act
*Item
*Mercy
Frisk: 'About time, that turn was massive.'
Papyrus: "DETERMINATION? HUMAN I-"
*Fight <<
*Papyrus once again avoids us using his bone geysers.
Frisk: 'Give chase, he can't run forever.'
*The ground turns into nothing but a blur as we race toward the end.
Papyrus: "IT CERTAINLY ISN'T A BAD THING TO BE DETERMINED, BUT CHANGING YOUR MIND ISN'T GIVING-"
Frisk: "It's exactly that! To bend one's beliefs for others or the world. To yield! That's why you'll never convince me, that's why you'll end up dead and I'll go my merry way. Because you can budge, I CAN NOT!"
Frisk: 'That's why you follow me, Chara. Because I'm Determined. Because I'll push harder than you could ever push back. You understand that, don't you?'
*...
Papyrus: "THAT'S NOT TRUE!"
*...?
Papyrus: "THERE'S NO GREATER SHOW OF DETERMINATION THEN BEING ABLE TO GO BACK ON WHAT YOU'VE DONE. TO HALT THE PATH OF TERMINATION WITH YOUR OWN STRENGTH. SO HALT HUMAN, HALT!"
*The magic infuses into our soul once more. Blue bones stop us in place.
Frisk: 'He's getting away! MOVE!'
*...
Frisk: 'Don't tell me you're believing that crap? You think that you can hold out against me? That this struggle will matter at all? Well, it won’t! His finite, he can die, he isn't DETERMINED! Or did you forget what happened to Toriel? To Doggo? What will happen to him if you keep resisting? Do you want that Chara? Another tortured soul because of your idiocy!?'
*...I move onward.
HP: 47/48
HP: 46/48
HP: 45/48
HP: 44/48
HP: 43/48
Papyrus: "H-HEY! STOP IT HUMAN, ALL YOU'RE DOING IS HURTING YOURSELF!"
Chara: "So what?!"
HP: 42/48
HP: 41/48
HP: 40/48
HP: 39/48
HP: 38/48
Chara: "I can't escape this! I can't change what's inside me! I've tried! I've tried so hard! But I can't, All I can do is move onward!"
Papyrus: "I'LL HELP! I'LL EASE THE BURDEN HUMAN, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS ALONE!"
Frisk: 'He can't help. The burden will only grow, and even if you're with others, I'll still be with you as well, pushing you to the inevitable!'
Papyrus: "DON'T GIVE UP HUMAN!"
Frisk: 'Give up on that dying fire Chara. And become the coldness you were always meant to be.'
Papyrus: "YOU-"
Chara: "SHUT UP! Both of you shut up! I don't need either one of you to lecture me! For the people I've killed-"
"Froggit, Final Froggit, Whimsalot, Moldessa, Astigmatism, Migospel, Parsnik, Snowdrake, ChillDrake, Ice Caps, Jerry, Gyftrot, Glyde, Lesser Dog, Doggo, Dogamy, Dogaressa, Greater Dog...Toriel."
Chara: "All those deaths, make me Unforgivable!"
*BAM! My blow was blocked by two crossed bones.
Papyrus: "I FORGIVE YOU HUMAN! BECAU-"
Another blow sends Papyrus skidding back with shattered bones.
Chara: "It doesn't matter! Whether you believe me, whether you don't! It doesn't change how I feel! Who I AM!"
*Papyrus uses his geysers to launch around me. My eyes can barely keep track of him. Too far to hit, too tight of an area to keep up with. So-
HP: 37/48
*It's unsurprising that he hits me with an extended bone. It retracts and-
HP: 36/48
*Another one, I'm-
HP: 35/48
*Pathetic.
HP: 34/48
*Slow.
HP: 33/48
*Weak.
HP: 32/48
*No matter what I do I can't catch up. I'm not strong en-
HP: 31/48
*I fall to my knees.
Frisk: 'Get up, or do you want him to suffer?'
Papyrus: "STAND HUMAN, EVEN IF YOU FEEL AWFUL I'M SURE YOUR CAPABLE OF GREATER THINGS!"
Hp: 21/48
Chara: "All those people I killed-"
HP: 11/48
Chara: "All the mistakes I made-"
HP: 1/48
Papyrus: "H-HUMAN?"
Chara: "H-how, how could I believe in myself-"
*I closed my eyes, burying the tears.
Chara: "When I'm such an awful person?"
Frisk: 'Don't. Give up on yourself. Give up on your morality! Believe in me, for I have what you've always lacked. The ability to change this world. Determination.'
*I...I don't-
Frisk: 'You're awful.'
*...
Frisk: 'You deserve this pain.'
*...
Frisk: 'You can't change.'
*...
Frisk: 'No matter who believes in you, you always let them down.'
*...Asriel. I-
Frisk: 'You failed everyone. Give in to me, and-'
Papyrus: "You shouldn't hate yourself human."
*Papyrus puts a hand on my shoulder, squeezing it in a manner that feels nearly brotherly. Rough...but tender.
Papyrus: "Even if you've done awful things in the past, even if you are an awful person, you shouldn't see yourself as any less human or monster. You're still capable of great things, and-"
*Papyrus shakes me. Somehow, it makes the world feel less hazy.
Papyrus: "You've already done some great things! I'm sure of it! Why you've given me a run for my money, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, THINK YOU 'D BE A WONDERFUL COMBATANT...if you directed it into a better purpose of course."
Chara: "But I...an awful person like me doesn't deserve such a redemption. An awful person like me would only make things worse. I'll-"
Papyrus: "Yes, for a while I'm sure you'll make more mistakes than good decisions. Maybe you'd even be troublesome. But-"
*Putting both hands on my shoulders Papyrus shakes me out of this nightmare with a wide smile.
Papyrus: "But I still believe in you! And you should believe in yourself as well. Because only you can become the great person you've always wanted to be!"
Chara: "...Papyrus...I....I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm-"
Papyrus: "It's okay, human. As I said, I forgive you."
*For the first time in a while, I feel a genuine smile creeping in.
Frisk: '...After all my careful planning. After all my manipulation. After everything I put them through...this is what ends their disbelief? Not a Determination that usurps my own, but simply...a bit of integrity, a lot of patience, and a bunch of kindness? Is that all that's needed...to make someone believe in themselves? To overpower my Determination...
Bullshit!'
*I feel my body grow distant, my control loosen as an overwhelming force pushes against me. You-
*No, I can fight it!
Chara: "P-Papyrus! Please, s-stay a-aw-"
Papyrus: "HUMAN? ARE YOU OKAY, YOU'RE SHAKING! DID YOU CATCH A COLD?"
Chara: "P-Papyrus. Please, do me a-a favor and...a-and...."
Papyrus: "AND?
Frisk: "D I E."
Notes:
And in the end, fate still binds them all.

Chapter Text
*Papyrus's neck snaps at your uppercut. His body turns to dust, but the head remains.
Papyrus: "I...I...don't get it...Why?"
*...Papyrus is gone.
*You've won.
Frisk: "I sure as fuck did. How many times did I tell you that I would? How many fucking times did I warn you that you can't fuck with me! You can't do shit! You stupid retard! Now, are you going to listen, or are more people going to need to die because of YOU?!"
*...
Frisk: "Oh dot dot dot my ass! You're giving me an answer right now or...that kid. Now that the bonehead is gone they might be accessible. Weak enough that I could pin them down with no trouble... if you don't comply. I'm going to force you...to eat them."
*T-they'll turn to dust
Frisk: "Oh, eventually. But if we start with the less vital parts we can get a few munches. Have you ever eaten an animal alive before Chara? It's a completely different experience. You can...feel their insides move as you bite into their stomachs. Their breath wavering as you tear them apart. The taste isn't even that good, but the feeling...the feeling of pinning something down and taking its life to extend your own. Oh, that's wonderful. Primal. Come on Chara...let's settle our differences, after all... don't you wanna know how they taste? HehehHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
*...No.
Frisk: "No? What? You think I won't do it, I'll do anything! I can do anything, I'm a GOD! Or well, demon if you take Dogaressa's word for it."
*No, you're not a God. Or unstoppable. You're just...a bully.
Frisk: "Pff, a bully, you think I'm a fucking bully? Like you'll just call a teacher to settle me down? Are you that retarded Chara? I can kill everyone you love, I can make them scream out for mercy, I will if you don't listen, I-"
*All you've done is hurt or scare me so I'll do what you want. Try to Look like you're unbeatable so I'll comply with your demands. But that's just it, LOOK! I've seen you lose fights. Not to trained warriors but to monsters working together. I've seen your none-stop cruelty unable to stop Papyrus's kindness. I've seen you struggle on fucking ice puzzles for crying out loud!
You're no god, demon, or inevitability! You're just a messed up kid, and... I know that type of person quite well. And I sure as hell won't kneel to it!
Frisk: "Oh, so you think you're a BIG SHOT because your balls finally fucking dropped? Well wake up call, you couldn't save ANYONE! And I'm gonna fuc-Ugkh!"
*While I choke you to death I hope you'll start to understand this pain, this feeling of futility, of despair! This is what they felt you sick fuck!
Frisk: "S-sghut up! ou, yu, you! You d-ug-don't have the guts!"
*You think I'm too spineless to take my own life? Idiot.
Frisk: "Ugukghk-"
*I've taken my life before, and compared to that-
Frisk "UGUigkUGK-pleas-GUkgie"
*This is nothing!
*Next timeline, I'll save Papyrus. I'll end your reign. I'll-
Frisk: "Huuauaua...oh... hehe, finally let go huh? I knew you were all bark n-"
*I didn't stop.
Frisk: "Huh? W-wait-"
*You try to move your hands...they don't budge, not even an inch.
???: "Look up kid, or did you forget how to greet a pal?"

Chapter Text
*You look up and see an eyeless monster staring down at you.
Frisk: "Sans?"
sans: "Gribbly's, now."
*A force tugs you to your feet. While you collect yourself, sans collects the remains of his brother. He puts Papyrus's dust in a small jar, then plops in a... pink pterodactyl.
sans: "here you go bro, i'll...i'll find a good puzzle to bury you in, i promise."
*...
Frisk: "Bleh, there's been too much sentimental crap today. Let's get down to business."
*You clench your fists, y-
sans: "don't bother, you won't be able to attack. Trust me, I've tried to do the same thing to you."
Frisk: "...You know about this?"
*Sans nods
sans: "i can explain it as well...if you can confirm a few of my theories."
Frisk: "Y'know, no matter what you learn about me you'll never be able t-"
sans: "i know, it's pointless to struggle. this world is doomed to end... and i'm sure you'll kill me at some point."
Frisk: "Huh, you're the first person I've met who's so accepting of the inevitable. But don't think of yourself too highly for that, there's a reason people struggle. It's to stop it, to save themselves. All you've done is prove how much of a spineless skeleton you really are. Did you watch it? I bet you did, you spineless trash bag. You watched because you were too much of a coward to do a damn thing. Isn't that right, sans? You let your brother die, didn't you?"
Sans: "...You done yet?"
Frisk: '...His still not losing his cool. Was he this tough-skinned before? I...I need to figure out what's his plan before risking expunging information. Worst case I'll need to reset...so do try to behave, or I'll be forced to give that fool you like so much an even worse end.'
*Who says I'll let you do shit?
*You shrug.
Frisk: 'Hey, if you want to give dangerous information to the brother of the guy you just murdered feel free.'
*...
Frisk: 'That's what I thought.'
Frisk: "Fine, I'll play along. But you've got me curious, even if you've given up on saving this world, why are you helping me to destroy it?"
*You smile.
Frisk: "Do you want to burn the world sans?"
*sans stays silent.
Frisk: "Hey! I'm a mass murderer, I won't judge! So open up a bit...or my lips are staying shut."
sans: "...The reasoning is...kinda like a joke.'
Frisk: "Ooh?"
sans: "yeah, you'll need set up to understand the punchline. to put it simply, i'm a simple guy. all i want is some good food, some bad laughs, and some nice friends. but well, hehe, that's kinda impossible if everyone's dusted. but i can't do a thing to stop it. so if i had to make a compromise i'd at least hope i could keep the people i cared for safe... but that's not possible either. i was-"
Frisk: "Do all Monster's actions revolve around the stupidity of their hearts? I don't want your sob 'I'm so sad' backstory you spinless trash bag, just tell me why the fuck you're here."
sans: "...i was holding out hope that there was more to you...but there isn't, is there? you're just a horrible person that the world would be better off without...yet that same world protects you. Shows how little it must care about us small folk... but i guess you're right. Friendship, hope, peace, it's a waste of time to explain how it feels to have all that stripped away by someone who's never felt any sort of compassion in their heart."
sans: "so, to put it bluntly. everything i care about will be destroyed. every hope, every dream, every smile. but i know two things, that you're responsible for it all... and that the knowledge i have...is a burden. so that's why i'm here, to make sure that before this world ends, before i die, before everything i love is destroyed-"
*sans turns to face us, eyes as dark as the void.
Sans: "That you suffer as much as possible."
Notes:
Well that's rude.

Chapter Text
*You and Sans go to Gribbly's now Gribblyless bar. Not a word has been said since Sans's declaration. And there's not much to say after such hatred is shown. No, usually the issue is resolved with fists instead of words.
*Yet something holds both of you back from doing such a thing. Why is that?
Frisk: '...I guess that's as good a place to start as any.'
*Yes...but should we?
Frisk: 'Pff, that's a new low, even for you. Just because this pile of bones couldn't handle a few revelations doesn't mean I can't.'
*...
Frisk: 'Hahaha, you're such a wimp! Look, I don't have time for this, if you got a problem with it then just sit back and let the adults t-'
Chara: "I'm Chara Dreemurr, this body is being controlled by two minds, the one that has been causing all this havoc calls themselves Frisk."
Frisk: 'You jerk, it's my turn on the body!'
Chara: 'how do you say it...right... Nu-ah!'
sans: "Oh...heh, i figured something weird was going on with you, but that sure is out of left field."
Chara "...Let me reiterate, I'm not an enemy. I wish for the continuation of this world and have no ill intent towards you. This knowledge that burdens... if it truly brings pain then it might be best for you to hold on to such wisdom."
sans: "oh?"
Chara: "I can stay in control but... it's a flimsy one. Depending on what's revealed it might weaken my determination enough for Frisk to take the reins. If you can still direct me to the right actions to save-"
*Sans laughs. it's not vile, or charming, just...gurgling. Like he was drowning in the darkest corners of the ocean. So...maybe it was more of a scream than a laugh.
sans: "you don't get it, nothing any of us do can change a damn thing. look, in another time, in another place, maybe we could've been...friends. but here? there's nothing left for me here but anger and pain, so whether you're good or bad doesn't matter to me no more. i'm still going to hurt you all the same."
Chara: "Your brother would chastise such immorality."
sans: "My brother wouldn't need to be a memory if it wasn't for you two."
Frisk: 'Woah, Chara? Smart little Chara thought they'd get the guy whose brother they just killed on their side? So smart they are, s-'
Chara: 'Shut up! His being unreasonable...he wasn't like this before.'
Frisk: 'Admittedly, he has had a shift in hostility. But can't we just chalk that up to you killing his bro?'
Chara: 'You're the one who killed him!'
Frisk: 'What? You-'
sans: "you two are talking, ain'tcha? Heh, in retrospect i should've known these long periods of silence had to come from something, but i guess i'd written it off as another odd habit of the mind of a lunatic."
Frisk: "Lunatic?! I'm-"
sans: "you talk louder and harsher than that Chara person. that's a good tell."
Chara: 'Of course, Frisk. Dumb fat Frisk let a secret slip, after caring so much about being secretive. So dumb, so-"
Frisk: 'Shut up! Your sarcasm is a 5/10... on a GOOD day.'
sans: "alright, without even knowing it you confirmed quite a few of my theories. so let's just skip to the most important one, are you The anomaly?"
Frisk: "...What?"
sans: "so you don't even know what that is? i guess I'll need to give you another spiel before you can answer. i'm glad to say i'm not the one who was demented enough to figure this out, but i did know the guy who was. let's call him...Wingding, or W.D for short."
Notes:
Yes dear viewer I do know that the story has now twice hinted at a major mystery only to end on a cliffhanger back to back. And do not worry, the potential feeling of blueballs you are going through is intentional. Both for my amusement and for the sweet release it'll give you later.
And hey, y'know what they say,
Third times the charm.

Chapter 36: Okay, no more jokes, this is the lore dump chapter. P1
Summary:
This changes everything...kinda...eh you may of seen it coming.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
sans: "first off, W.D wasn't his birth name. just a nickname we gave him after he vowed to only speak in hands. it was...frustrating to deal with, but he insisted. and when W.D insisted, you listened. even so, W.D was a bone-fide genius. probably because he was so boney and-"
Frisk: "I get it, it's a pun."
sans: "...this is all to say that working with W.D was both the most extraordinary and boring days of my life. W.D had...a talent for creating contradictions like that. and was just as good at spotting them. add that all to the fact he had plenty of maggots in his skull and well I guess it ain't that surprising he was the first to see the writing on the wall."
Chara: "Sounds like it make a good book."
sans: "Heh, i ain't no writer kid. though W.D did have a bit of a knack for...."
Chara: "For?"
sans: "What? is it odd for me not to want to talk more than I have to with my brother's killer?"
Chara: "...But I'll fix it. I promise! I can-"
sans: "W.D did the same thing, promises he could never keep. Like seeing the sun. No matter how much of a pain in the ass he was no one could doubt that he was determined to succeed."
Chara: "I heard about that, he was really hopeful in his interviews about escape. Past that cold exterior, he must have really wanted to save everyone."
sans: "W.D? No way to know for sure...but i know him better than most, and i don't buy it. he just wanted new experiments, new thrills, new things to discover. for him, the barrier was just that, a barrier. something in the way of further progress. and if there was one thing W.D found vile, it was stagnation."
Chara: "I didn't get that impression at all, he sounded strict. Sure. But I could tell he wanted the best for everyone."
sans: "Heh, what, you a fan?"
*I feel my cheeks heat.
Chara: "No! but you sound like a lap dog, one not even worth throwing a bone towards. And so, you remain in the dark."
sans: "sure, it's not like it matters, he's dead after all."
Chara: "...right. A lot's changed."
sans: "hmm. now, where were we? right, promises. never liked them, more trouble than their worth. but W.D had made one to the entire underground that they'd be free by the end of the decade. Uh-"
*Sans pulls out a bottle of ketchup from his pockets. Gulping it down the same way a divorced man may chug down his beer.
sans: "sorry, just thinking about it gives me a headache. the point is, we were tired. Desperate. even W.D was hitting his limit. the core had been made, and we'd done every project we could think of. And then W.D started going off the rails. Again, always a bit looney. But at this point, he was being more cryptic than straightforward, yet no less strict. It was worse on Alphys. I was like you said, a lapdog. Did the dirty work and stayed the extra hours. But Alphys? I think W.D saw her as his protege, so...he was extra harsh on any of her reports or theories. Alphys..."
*Sans takes another swig of his bottle, but even that isn't enough to get him to talk. He looks around, hoping beyond reason that someone else could tell his own story. But Snowdin was silent. And so he sighed, took another swig, and spoke
sans: "Alphys had a panic attack. She was always nervous, but W.D made her scared to even talk... think what you want about W.D, but you don't do that to your co-works so they can be more 'effective'. "
Chara: "..."
sans: "I tried to convince her to speak up about it to the king. But she was adamant about staying silent. Made me...promise to be quiet about it...heh, another promise I couldn't keep. Just my luck."
sans: "But just because Alphys didn't want me to speak for her didn't mean I wouldn't speak for myself. I was gonna quit, and I was gonna do it while making that bonehead regret every little bad thing he'd done to us...woah. Young me sure was stupid, good thing I grew out of it and became dead inside instead, heheheh..."
sans: "When I met him, he was doing some sort of test. High energy and higher output. Got no clue what it was for, but he kept rambling about how it was the key to true freedom. To escaping the light, to going darker and yet darker down till nothing could bind us...i tried to tell him i was going to quit, but he didn't seem to care. Just kept rambling about the light and darkness."
sans: "Eventually I broke and asked him what the hell he was on about. And what he did next...well...it shook my whole world. Changed how I saw everything...."
Frisk: "...Are you going to tell me or just keep acting like I can see your flashback."
sans: "It's called suspense kid, you need it to drum up tension. But fine, I'll tell you. He asked a question. One that unraveled the truth of this world... why had Asgore not used the Souls to escape?"
Notes:
Have a nice day.

Chapter Text
Chara: "...is that all?"
sans: "Yup."
*I'd facepalm, but my low HP might mean I'd die from it. And therefore need to hear this stupidity again.
Chara: "Because you need seven souls to break the barrier."
sans: "But you only need one to cross."
Frisk: "Okay I've been lost for like this entire conversation. What even is the barrier? Is-"
Chara: "Agree to ignore their request?"
sans: "That would maximize their suffering...sure."
Frisk: '...Fudge y'all.'
sans: "Anyway, why hasn't Asgore crossed the barrier using the souls to take the remaining few he needs? It wouldn't be that hard."
Chara: "I...I don't know, maybe he doesn't want to repeat my mistake. Maybe his-"
sans: "given up. I told W.D that much. Which earned me an insult and another question. Why did no one use the souls to cross the barrier? It was the easiest way out after all. No need for killing either. They could go to a hospital with a patient at death's door to absorb their soul. Or take the soul of any human that's...taken their life. Or a thousand quicker and more moral options than just sitting around and waiting for a kid to fall. Yet no one's done it. I asked him why he didn't do it then. W.D smiled in a way that I don't know how to describe. I just knew that at that moment W.D had become something more than a monster."
sans: "he told me he had, and urged me to do the same. And see how the world resists. i wasn't in the mood to confirm his theories so I left him to his weird new project...that's the last time I saw W.D. but eventually curiosity got the better of me and I tried going to Asgore to suggest the idea."
Chara: "And?"
sans: "Emphasis on tried. Every time i settled on going something would get in my way. And when I finally did meet Asgore I...forgot what I was going to say. Only after getting back home did I remember what I was there for. At first, I thought it was the anomaly playing a trick on me. I mean, if they could stop the timelines left and right then who's to say they couldn't erase a memory or two? But when I confronted who I thought was the anomalous figure I learned that we had in fact worked together to try to solve this exact issue. But no matter what we did we could neither convince Asgore to use the souls, obtain them, or even spread the word about the obvious solution. We even tried contacting W.D, hoping that he'd have the answers to all of this. With the anomalies' ability to reset we had practically unlimited time to fix W.D's machine and get him back. I...I've got no clue how long we went at it. It could've been years, decades...maybe even centuries. All I know is that it takes a lot of dead ends to make someone as determined as an anomaly give up."
Chara: "This anomaly, does it refer to itself as Flowey?"
sans: "Hm, so you've met it. I haven't seen it in a while. But I get it, they probably felt like a kid who'd just learned there was nothing at the end of the rainbow."
Chara: "...Your question from before. Flowey told me I'd stolen some sort of power. We call it the reset, the ability to go back in time after death via save points. It sounds like what Flowey was doing. I guess I'm the current anomaly."
sans: "...not quite. you're THE anomaly. Ever since you've shown up the system has been way stricter than before. Or do you think I didn't try to convince Papyrus not to fight you? It just...didn't matter. And when I went to help-"
Chara: "You couldn't interrupt as well..."
sans: "Yeah. it doesn't end there. before you came, i could use my shortcuts just fine. the world works...kinda like a video game. Parts of it are loaded for you, and when you pass those loaded parts into a new area there's a bit of time in between when you're in the middle. Do certain actions and you can end up in all sorts of places. now... well it's like something is stopping me."
Chara: "Hold up, how did you teleport at the bridge then?"
sans: "Oh, that? Must've been thanks to the author's poor planning."
Chara: "W-wha-"
sans: "hehehe, i'm just messing with you, kid. that's a totally different power, costs a lot of energy though."
Chara: "Alright...any clue why this is all happening?"
sans: "I do have a leading theory. It's the magic of those 7 human mages. We all assumed that it was just a wall of sorts. But in retrospect, it should've been obvious that it was more complex than that."
*A chill runs down my spine as I realize how fucked we all are.
sans: "hm, that expression...yeah, I didn't fare much better. The thing that's limiting our actions, ensuring that we can't escape...is none other than the barrier itself."
Notes:
Hope you liked the twisty twist. I made it after thinking about how many weird plot holes their are in Undertale and trying to think of a way the plot could still work and be made creepy.
Anyway, have a nice day.

Chara: "That can't be possible! Me and Asriel were able to escape and-"
sans: "And end up right back here."
Chara: "...No, no no no this can't be real, like...why not just kill us all if that's the sorta magic they had at their disposal? "
sans: "what do you think it's doing right now?"
Chara: "We were never forced to kill, that was Frisk's decision!"
Frisk: 'And yours.'
sans: "Is that so? Well, did you ever ask Frisk why they're doing this?"
Chara: "I...did. They said they just found it fun."
sans: "How many kids do you think want to kill people for fun?"
Chara: "Well-"
Frisk: "Wait, are you like...implying that barrier thing made me? Or that it memory wiped us or some other high magic bullcrap like that?"
sans: "Here's the thing about life, kid, it's all a big puzzle, but most of the time you only got half the pieces. What I've told you are all the pieces i got. and the image it shows me is that each and every one of us are going to die a bit more than six feet under."
Frisk: "Tch, I know what I am. I'm free, not some puppet to a glorified magic wall!"
sans: "Well, if you're as free as you say then come right ahead-"
*sans...t-poses to assert dominance.
sans: "kill me."
*You try to attack...nothing happens. You grab a nearby stool and toss it towards sans...it barely misses. You step forward and point towards sans' flippers. He begrudgingly lets you take the left one.
Frisk: "CHANCLA!"
*You throw the slipper at sans...it bounces off.
Frisk: "A CHANCLA SHOULDN'T BE STOPPED YOU STUPID WALL!"
*...That last one wasn't the barrier.
Frisk: 'It so was!'
*...
*Sans puts his slipper back on. You get the sensation that fangirls around the world are disappointed, but... you're probably too young to get why.
sans: "so it ain't my time to die...what a shame."
Chara: "Yeah...I feel bad but...I-i just can't take you seriously while your T-posing."
sans: "i kinda like it though-"
Chara: "Stop it."
*...sans did not stop.
sans: "But do you get it now kid? why i ain't trying to stop you? because i got no chance in hell of saving even a single life, just like you got no chance of escaping. but none of that means i can't show you hell."
Chara: "...I don't want to be your enemy. I'm sure that there must be a way-"
sans: "there isn't, and i ain't planning to make friends with murderers."
Chara: "But I'm not evil! I'm not against Monsterkind, I'm-"
sans: "the person who will be responsible for the death of everything I've ever cared about. The truth is kid...i'm not like my bro, i ain't forgiving. So hurting you and frisk is the closest i can get to relief...and even then...i end up breaking another promise. hehe, i'm really on a losing streak on that, huh?"
Chara: "You...you don't need to be my enemy, we can just avoid each other for as long as we-"
sans: "Kid...please, just living is hard as it is. don't stall this out for me."
Frisk: 'you gave a suggestion...but nobody asked.'
Chara: 'Shut up.'
*sans walked to the back door of Gribbly's bar.
sans: "See ya kid."
*Finally, he stopped his t-posing to open the door.
Chara: "Wait...are you really going to give up just like that? Everyone dies and suffers and that's it? Your brother sure as heck wouldn't give up! And I'm not giving up either. If you really care about the dead, then you'll honor them by fighting fate, not accepting it!"
sans: "...beating fate, hehe. You're a kid, that's for sure. Let me tell you some adult wisdom. In this world, there's only two types of folk. Fools and puppets who see the strings. You may be a fool now Chara, but eventually, you'll be forced to see your strings, so my advice...buckle up."
*Sans opened the door and left.
Frisk: '...Well, I know one thing for sure, I'm not going to be anyone's or anything's-"
*The door opened.
sans: "whoops uh, forgot I can't use my shortcuts. i'll just-"
Chara: '...Is he moving slow on purpose?'
Frisk: 'I think the awkwardness of the room is slowing him down.'
*sans left...for real now.
Frisk: '...Well, that fudged with the somber mood.'
Notes:
Chara not so depressi.

Chapter 39: Understanding.
Summary:
So I had this whole joke on the Royal Road site about the readers clicking the spoiler tag and getting roasted but that doesn't really work since this place doesn't have that...so like... if you want to enjoy that stupid joke there it is

Chapter Text
*You leave Gribbly's and continue onward. The snow abruptly cuts off and becomes a rocky road with a river nearby.
Frisk: 'Chunks...like a game.'
*Your battle system does seem akin to a stylized RPG.
Frisk: '...Back then, when I first tried to get a drop on Toriel, do you think I stopped from my own will...or the barriers.'
*...I don't know.
Frisk: '....'
*Is being in control that important to you?
Frisk: 'It's the most important thing. Without control your will is dependent on another, it's no different than being a slave. And I refuse to be a slave.'
*...You are awfully intense about this subject.
Frisk: 'Damn right I am. I kill because I want to, I'm cruel because I decided to be cruel, I'M THE ONE IN CONTROL! Not some fucking wall made by old farts.'
*Is that why you pushed me to submission?
Frisk: 'Yeah, and because you were and still are a big baby. Eww, they killed some fucking frog and I didn't so I'm soooo much better and-'
*You're hyperventilating.
Frisk: 'That's not a word.'
*Calm down, take deep breaths.
Frisk: 'I'll do whatever I want!'
*You decide to take deep breaths.
Frisk: '...It's kinda nice.'
*...Frisk, you are a horrible person, aren't you?
Frisk: 'Tch, here we go again, goody-two-shoes-"
*For a while, I've been focusing on the horrible. Seeing you as this unstoppable force. I never stopped to remind myself that despite it all, you're still a person as well. Losing control scares you, doesn't it?
Frisk: '...'
*You won't prove anything by following the barrier's will. The only way to be truly free is to stop this killing.
Frisk: "Pff, so what, I can be your friendship slave?"
*No, so we can have the most amount of options of what to do when trying to find a way to destroy the barrier.
Frisk: '...Flowey said they had a plan for god-like power.'
*And if we follow the Barrier's will that plan may never come to be.
Frisk: '...'
*...You don't have to stop forever. Once the barrier is destroyed you can kill fully knowing that you're the one who's in control. But until then all you're doing is being its puppet.
Frisk: 'Heh, like you'll let me kill even a fly.'
*Oh, I won't, So don't delude yourself, I haven't forgiven you for a single thing you've done. The moment the barrier is broken I'll rip off your tongue so you can choke on the blood. And when we come back I'll bang our head against the ground for so long that our brain will leak out. I'll keep going till I drive you mad, until you're nothing but a voice in the back of my head that screams and cries about memories years old. Forever broken and forgotten.
Frisk: 'Hmph, Papyrus wouldn't like hearing that.'
*...Some people don't deserve to be saved.
Frisk: '...That choking on your own blood thing is metal as fudge. I'll use it on you after we finish this stupid alliance.'
*You can try.
Frisk: 'Oh, I certainly will.'
*We smiled.
Notes:
Walnuts.

Chapter Text
*You move onward. Monster kid looks over the abyss, searching for something.
Frisk: 'Hmm, just one love tap and he'd go falling all the way down the underground.'
*Your hands' twist, it hurts, and it can hurt a lot more.
Frisk: 'Chill, I can play nice.'
Monster kid: "Yo! Are you sneaking out to see her, too?"
Frisk: "Who?"
Monster kid: "Undyne of course! She's so awesome, I wanna be JUST like her when I grow up. Hey, no telling my parents. You wouldn't want me to get dusted right? Ha ha ha."
Frisk: "..."
*Monster kid shuffled around, trying to look anywhere but at your dead-faced expression.
Monster kid: "Yo, you're uh...being creepy again. I didn't wanna mention it but...about what you said back there. T-that ain't cool yo! You-"
Frisk: "I can say whatever I want, brat."
*Monster kid shuffles a bit more, looking at their legs. Wondering if they should run.
*You smile.
Frisk: 'I still got it, ain't even a bit rusty since my kindness break.'
*You haven't been kind at all!
Frisk: 'I didn't kill them though.'
*...You'll only make the enemies harder to spare with your tongue, quick, let me take control.
Frisk: 'Ugh, fine.'
Chara: "What I mean to say is that freedom of speech is a right for all sentient creatures. To say a phrase or word is forbidden is to give it more power, is to silence the possibility of such a thing, and it is only our prideful exuberance that creates an ebullience that blinds us from the true meaning of such language."
Monster kid: "Umh..."
Frisk: 'Hahaha, you're even worse than me. Exuberance? Who the fudge even knows-'
Chara: 'Don't be so quick to bite. I know all the words I use, and I know that exuberance and ebullience are unneeded ultimately to explain my sentence. In fact, the words barely work within it. Of course, you'd need to know such words to understand that. Which is far below the intellectual capabilities of either of you.'
Frisk: 'Alright smart ass, so your plan is to confuse them?'
Chara: 'Yes, a person with enough empathy and trust in others will assume that every word in my sentence was needed when they don't understand them. And a person with low self-esteem is likely to assume these words make me smarter than them. Allowing me to push myself into a position of superiority, which will grant me more trust when re-interpreting what-'
Frisk: 'I revoke your jock privileges and punish such nerdiness with a wedgie. Tell me, do you like them twisted or-'
Monster kid: "A-alright...so what did you mean?"
Chara: "Well simply put I...I........."
Frisk: "....."
Monster kid: "......"
Chara: '...Your turn.'
Frisk: 'What the fu-'
*You must show bravery and fix your own-
Frisk: 'Dumbass! You just wanted to sound cool, didn't you?'
*You realize it's your own fault for creating such a perilous-
Frisk: 'I'm jumping down this abyss if you don't shut up.'
*...
Frisk: "What I meant was...l-look!"
*You stand beside Monster kid, looking down into the Abyss.
Monster kid: "What about it?"
Frisk: "It's vast, isn't it?"
Monster kid: "Yeah?"
Frisk: "Well...this is what I was talking about. Jump off a bridge, and dive into the unknown."
Monster kid: "Ohhh, so you were talking about the bridges at Waterfall!"
Frisk: "...Yup."
Monster kid: "Well... I'm not sure I should jump all the way down there. I-i mean, I'd die and-"
Frisk: "Oh, that's just what the adults say."
Monster kid: "What?
Frisk: "Yeah, just recently I jumped from a really tall place. Crashed hard too. But as you can see, still standing."
Monster kid: "Woah, where did you jump down from?"
Frisk: "Mt.Ebott."
Monster kid: "OMG...I've never heard of it! Ha ha, let me guess. Mt as in, Mettaton?"
Frisk: "Heh, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise."
Monster kid: "Aww, come on, just a hint. Is it another cannon that launches you all the way to a bouncy castle? That one was my favorite."
Frisk: "Sorry, no cannons...but there were a few flowers."
Monster kid: "Oh. That's lame."
Frisk: "Yeah...I was hoping to find a demon or angel, so I could..."
*A memory comes to you.
Frisk: "Prove that I could outsing them."
Monster kid: "Haha, you're crazy! But uh, Yo, that ain't a bad thing. I just...don't think I could jump down. Too scary ya know? Now, if I was Undyne-"
Frisk: "That's not true! We kids can be just as brave as adults! Look at me! I"m not a weakling, I'm not a coward, I came down knowing that I'd come right back up! And with a bunch of cool stories that those crappy adults could never even dream of! Just...toughen up! Into someone just as strong as Undyne... be like...Monster kid the...monstrous!"
Monster kid: "Yo...Y-you're right, Undyne wouldn't yield to the abyss. She be like... 'Abyss??? Pssh, my spear is the light that shall...light it!'... oh Yo! We could be like a duo! Monster kid the monstrous and..."
*Monster kid looks you up and down, trying to find your most defining feature.
Monster kid: "And the deformed leg kid!"
Frisk: "..."
Monster kid: "Oh uh...sorry, I-i can see how that doesn't...w-well I'm sure we'll find a cool name for you eventually! Now onward, let's jump into the unknown!"
*I kick a rock into the abyss before either of you can kill yourselves.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
*No rock noise...very big fall.
Frisk: 'Okay mx.caveman.'
Monster kid: "Or well...maybe find a ladder down."
Frisk: "Y-yeah, sur-"
Monster kid: "Race ya to it! Last one to find it will be a rotten Mettaton eggcellent breakfast!"
*Monster kid races against no one.
Frisk: 'Stupid kid.'
*...You're smiling.
Frisk: 'Yeah, can't wait to kill them.'
*...You approach a sta-wait-wait FRISK PAUSE-
Frisk Lv 9 ?:??
*Save <
*Return
*you...YOU IDIOT!!!
Frisk: 'What? I was still low on HP. Walking around nearly dead is a pain in the a-'
*You...our last save point was BEFORE you killed Papyrus. We could've saved him!
Frisk: 'Ohhhh...'
*Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, I'm working with such a fudging idiot-
Frisk: 'H-hey, w-why did you even want to proceed if you-'
*Scouting! So we could know what would happen next!
Frisk: '...I can see that we had a...bit of a communication issue. But it's okay, I forgive you.'
*...You know what...I'm sure Asriel can fix this. My time...isn't worth being spent talking to an empty head like you.
Frisk: '...Hey, do you hear that?'
*...Sorta.
*Faint muttering sounds repeat in a consistent pattern. You turn to find an echo flower behind you. You move close to hear its secrets.
Echo Flowey: "Chara, I've been watching you. That 'friend' of yours sure is a control freak...and you're still holding on to those STUPID morals... but that's fine, seeing you two struggle against that barrier's control is loads of fun! I'm guessing you'll spare a few monsters so your 'friend' can prove to themselves that the barrier doesn't control them? Well, you know how I feel about acting so soft...but I'll make an exception this one time.
After all, I wanna see it. The first cracks in that thing's control. You'll show it to me...won't you, Chara?"

*You...you kneel and start sniffing the floor like a dog. Woof.
Frisk: 'I can feel it in my blood Chara! It's...It's..."
*You scurry to the stream of water, you try to make it to the center of the waterfall but are pushed back by the stream. You realize that this could be avoided if you...walked.
Frisk: 'Bark bark bark.'
*...We're really doing this, huh? Okay! You bark and woof up all that water till you're as fat as my biological pops. Slamming head first into the STONE WALLS of the waterfall you-
*...Find a secret entrance?
Frisk: 'Hey, Chara look, it's a ballerina tutu.'
*You...you grab the old tutu with your paws-H-hands!! And equip it.
Frisk: 'A dog dressed like a ballerina...you could call me a...dogerina!'
*...
Frisk: '...It's my fursona. Not sexual, I just like imagining myself as a big dog with tap dancing shoes and-'
*Another word and I'm gonna put you down like the rabid dog you are.

*You move onward.
*Tallgrass stands before you...
*You walk back and forth between two tiles...
*...Frisk...there's no Pokemon here.
Frisk: 'Oh so we can have a fire goat but not Pikachu? Pff, this place sucks.'
*...You move onwa-
*Scary fish noises.
Frisk: 'What the fu-oh shit I hear it also! Kinda of a banger.'
*You look up to see a fully plated warrior standing in the shadows. Next to her a musical radio.
*You start bopping to the Scary fish noises.
*Fish magic!
*The plated warrior stares down at the grass, spear at hand as a soft light illuminates from her eyes...you continue bopping.
Frisk: 'U-c-come on Chara!'
*You stop bopping.
Frisk: 'This is none-consensually bopping stoppage! I-i'll report you for it!'
*I'll report Deez Nutz to ya mum.
51/52
Frisk: 'Ughh...a Deez Nutz joke...so...cringe."
*You remember making one at the 12th chapter...of our lives.
Frisk: 'Yeah, Ironically!'
*...Despite all your movement, the warrior backs away, then vanishes into the shadow.
*You move onward.
*Monster kid dashes out of the grass.
Monster kid: "YO YO YO THAT WAS AWESOME! Did you see her, you were all like AHH and she was like GRRR and then she just vanished! Undyne's just...so cool!"
*Monster kid's breath is heavy like any...fangirl...fanboy...fanperson! Monster kid fanpersons all over you.
Frisk: 'Ew.'
Frisk: "Yup, I really liked her music."
Monster kid: "Oh yeah her diss tracks are the best!"
Frisk: "She's a rapper?"
Monster kid: "Duh, songs are essential for a lot of magic! She's so good that she practically spits flames!"
Frisk: "Wouldn't that kill her?"
Monster kid: "...Huh, never thought of that. I guess it- W-WAIT! What are we doing! C'mon, let's go watch her beat up some bad guys!"
*You sigh, then move onward.
*Another save point.
Frisk: 'Don't worry, I've learned my lesson. Chara, do you consensually agree to save in this save point? For better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish; from this day until death brings us back here. Do you, Chara, save in this save point with me?'
*...Yes, but I want a divorce. And I'm taking the kids.
Frisk: '...Fuck you.'
Frisk Lv 9 ?:??
*Save <
*Return
*You move onward, childless, maidenless, moneyless. Sad.
Frisk: 'A-at least I don't have Cooties!'
*I-i don't have Cooties!
Frisk: 'Yu-ah, you do. Chara has Cooties, she's-'

Frisk: 'Hey, you agreed to be the wife, not me.'

Aaron: "N-no way, that's cheating!"
Frisk: "Oh, is it? Sorry, I don't play fair...;)"

*Ugh, you ignore the valuable information and move to a...tile?
Frisk: 'No it's like a...piece of a bridge randomly sticking out?'
*You hop onto the tile. It starts moving over the water.
Frisk: 'This...I've seen a lot of random stuff since I came here....'
*...And?
Frisk: 'I just felt like pointing that out.'
*The weird tile bumps into another bridge, you hop off and move onward.

Frisk: "Oh no."
???: "Oh yess-Wait, didn't Mettaton copyright that?"
Frisk: "Can you copyright a sentence?"
???: "It's murky waters, the laws in this place are really-Wait, why I'm talking to you! I should be-"
*The plated warrior drops her musical radio and clicks an assortment of buttons.
*A banger song starts playing.
???: "Singing to you to bring your doom! Undyne the undying warrior of the underground! Putting down heavy hits on little shits like you! Ay Ay Fire away!"
*Three spears shoot at you. You dash ahead but the spears keep up.
Frisk: "Seriously, Auto-Aim!?"
Undyne: "Don't blame me that I came to maim and cut open your brain to get your Soul because there's no gain without pain!"
Frisk: "Why would I not blame you for that?"
Undyne: "Oh right, well do us all a favor human, and DIE!"
*Undyne hurtles a giant spear at your deformed leg.
41/52
*You face plant onto the floor.
40/52
*You scurry to your feet and-
35/52

25/52
*The homing spears knock you back to the ground.
Undyne: "HAHAHAH! Down already Human?! You're not as tough as I thought you'd be. Why you don't even have a giant sword!"
Frisk: 'Chara...help? I think she broke-'
15/52
*A giant spear pierces into your shoulder blade. The blood stains your shirt, it's beautiful.
Frisk: 'You fucking assho-"
10/52
*You squirm, but resistance is futile. Only darkness awaits you.
*Unless...you beg.
5/52
Frisk: 'You...you little-AH!'
1/52
*Beg.
Undyne: "HAHAHAHA, this is too easy! Man, Papyrus won't even believe me when I tell him how weak you were!"
Frisk: 'C-Chara...please...please-'
Undyne: "DIE!"
Frisk: "HELP ME!"
*Back-flipping over the spear we grab it in mid-air and hurl it back at Undyne.
*Her slap deflects the spear into one of the many rocky pillars.
*Now, was that so hard?
Frisk: 'F-fuck you.'
Undyne: "Oh? So you've got a second wind human? Well, you're not the only one who can POWER UP! YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
*...Undyne pulls out a guitar from thin air.
*She starts shredding.
Notes:
Okay now put on some metal/rock remix of RUN! or Spear of Justice or some combination of the both for the next chapter or some crap.

Chapter Text
*As Undyne plays her guitar we do the only reasonable thing one can do in such a predicament.
*RUN!
Undyne: "Ooooh Human I'm tougher and rougher and stronger than any warmonger up above! So cease this struggle or you'll be buried with Waterfall’s rubble!"
*Undyne rips off a chunk of a pillar and launches it into the bridge's foundations. The wood underneath us begins slipping into the water below. Forcing us to run up the bridge and jump to the remaining stable wood.
Frisk: 'Shit!'
*Undyne stands before us, guitar at hand. She swings it at us like were a baseball.
22/52
15/52
*We eat one of our two Cinnamon Bunnies to minimize the damage. Yet that is little help against the plated warrior that stands before us. And fleeing is not an option either...not anymore at least.
Frisk: 'No issue, that just means we need to push right past her!'
*You take a bold step forward.
Undyne: "Oh? You're approaching me human? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?"
Frisk: "References huh? Well, up above I learned a technique from a great master. One that even you can't withstand."
*You cup your hands together.
Undyne: "...I-i knew it! So you humans CAN use ki to make laser beams! Well, I've trained many nights-"
Frisk: "Who says its ki?"
Undyne: "N-Nani?"
*What the fuck is happening?
Frisk: "Yes, you see we humans know many systems of 'magic'. It could be... Chankra, or Nin, or perhaps I'm simply unleashing the might of my quirker. Or-"
Undyne: "YAAAAH!"
*Undyne's screams somehow makes her armor look even tougher! She points at you thuggishly.
Undyne: "It doesn't matter what you bring human, I, Undyne, carry the hopes and dreams of all monsters, my spear is the one that shall pierce your heart and bring salvation to my people's-"
Frisk: "Neo Genesis Devil Ultima SLASH! *Tm"
Undyne: "AH!"
*Instinctively Undyne blocks to survive whatever secret technique you'll unleash at her...while she's defending you move around her and dash ahead.
Undyne: "H-huh? AHHH! DAMN YOU HUMAN! COME BACK AND FACE ME LIKE A REAL...umh... LIKE WHATEVER YOU ARE!"
*Undyne gives chase once more. Restarting her shredding to send a volley of spears at us!
Undyne: "I'll give you this human, your persistence and resistance shows that you'll go the distance against me! But I'm the reigning champ fighting for everyone's happiness! So you'll need to try a little harder than this if you want to survive till the end of DAYLIGHT!"

Frisk: 'Oh come on! We're dodging them!
*Yet they still nick us.
Frisk: 'Ugh!'
*You grit your teeth and pick up the pace.
Undyne: "Quickening up? Great! That pace was boring me anyway!"
Frisk: "Look! I'm not that bad of a...okay never mind I'm awful! But I'm not doing anything wrong right now! Can't you just-"
Undyne: "Let you off the hook? No way! Do you have any clue how...wait, you're just trying to keep me from rhyming! WHY YOU! This human's going to be dying from the undying pursuit of Undyne! So they best quit trying and lying and accept their SPEARFUL end!

Frisk: 'Ugh! This chick isn't like Papyrus at all!'
*Yes, as unfortunate as it is it seems like will need to restart this section to-
Frisk: "Grass!"
Undyne: "Yeah! I'll turn your ass into grass food! Then-w-wait STOP!"
*We conceal ourselves in the tall grass.
*You look around.
Frisk: 'Still no Pokemon.'
*NOT the right time Frisk.
Frisk: 'Why not?'
*You notice that Undyne is RIGHT ABOVE US!
Frisk: 'Ah fudge.'
*You ball up and try to hold your breath like you're underwater. But the pressure only grows as Undyne takes a step closer to You. Her hand out to-
Monster Kid: "Y-yo! U-Undye-"
*Undyne not so gently drops Monster Kid to the ground. She takes a few stabs around the grass, one of which gets uncomfortably close to your head, before leaving with balled fists.
*Well...that was lucky.
Notes:
Lucky escape.

*You move onward. Leaving the tall grass.
Monster Kid: "YO YO YO YO YO YO YO-"
*Monster kid bounces up and down. You can tell that their fanpersoning from the amount of YO YO YO they're saying. Truly, the peak of intellect.
Monster Kid: "YO YO YO YO-"
*Monster Kid pauses, then takes a deep breath. Which allows them to-
Monster Kid: "YO YO YO YO YO YOOOO DID YOU SEE THAT!!?? Undyne just..."
Monster kid: "TOUCHED ME! I'm never washing my face again! You-"
Frisk: "I'm moving ahead...after all, I don't want to be the rotten Mettaton eggcellent breakfast!"
Monster kid: "O-oh my gosh I completely forgot about that! I-i'll definitely find that ladder first!"
*And with that Monster kid sprints ahead of you. You move-
Frisk: 'Hey, aren't you forgetting something?'
*???
Frisk: 'Well...you've been insulting me for this entire journey whenever I do something you don't like. I figure me being a good boy should earn me a few compliments as well.'
*You murdered people, you don't deserve to feel good. It's a pity that I need to keep you alive at all.
Frisk: 'Hmph, y'know I may be 'evil' but that doesn't mean I like being insulted all the time. If we're going to work together then you should at least make this bearable for me, we both have enough issues as is fighting against that Barrier's control. Now imagine doing that while pissed at each other.
*...You...seriously want a... compliment?
Frisk: 'Yu-ah!'
*...Your dialect with Monster Kid was... agreeable.
Frisk: '...You suck at compliments Chara.'
*Kill yourself.
Frisk: 'And you call me toxic!'
*No, I call you evil, because you're evil!
Frisk: 'Nu-ah. The way I see it, I'm Frevil.'
*...
Frisk: '...'
*...
Frisk: '...'
*...
Frisk: '...I admit that wasn't my best pun.'
Notes:
Even Frisk has feelings, even if their Frevil.

Chapter Text
*You move onward
*A piece of cheese is stuck to a table by some sort of mystical crystal that surrounds it. There's a mouse hole nearby.
Frisk: 'Huh, never seen that before.'
*We have.
Frisk 'What?'
*There was one back in Snowdin and the Ruins.
Frisk: 'I don't remember you ever describing that.'
*Me neither. It's like it was...skipped over.
Frisk: '...Oh my goodness! Chara, how couldn't we have noticed!'
*?
Frisk: 'It's all part of the Barrier's machinations! The mice eating their cheese must be key to the freedom of the underground! Oh, we must make haste Chara, onward back to Snowdin and then the ruins! The mice of these lands require salvation!!!'
*The bridge Frisk...it's...
Frisk: 'Oh...right.'
*We...could help with this one.
Frisk: 'Nah it looks icky. Let's forget this ever happened.'
*Okay.
*You move onward. An echo flower whispers to you.
"H-HMM! H-hello, is this thing on? Probably not...let me just-"
*Viney noises can be faintly heard from the echo flower.
"Alright, one more tug and this should work...need to make sure I bring my A-game though...Mhm. Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh-"
*Each Ahh is progressively in a higher pitch.
"Ahh, Ahh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Alright, on 3 then. 1, 2, 3-"
*You hear a snapping noise. A long silence fills the room...
"H-HMM! H-hello, is this thing on? Probably not...let me just-"
Frisk: 'It's repeating?'
*You look down and realize the Echo flower's stem has been ripped in two
Frisk: '...And wrapped together by a bit of grass. Like...they wanted to hide what they'd done.'
*...Let's move on.
Frisk: '...Yeah, sure.'
*A save point stands before you.
Frisk: 'May I?'
*Get it over with.
Frisk Lv 9 ?:??
*Save <
*Return
*You move onward.
*You move down a blue-ish bridge.
*You...let me guess, item?
Frisk: 'ITEM!'
*You run like a dog-
Frisk: 'CAR!'
*...Okay. You run like a car after this supposed item. Making-
Frisk: "VROOM VROOM VROOM!"
*...That. Until you find a patch of tall grass that you dive into.
*...You equip the ballet shoes.
Frisk: "Oh my gosh! I'm a car with ballet shoes? Does that make me a carle-"
*You made that joke already.
Frisk: 'Oh...did I mention my-'
*Yes, you mentioned your fursona.
Frisk: '...Well, they're not tap-dancing shoes but they'll do. And so I take my first steps not as Frisk, but as Dogerina!'
*...Does Dogerina have giant Tough Gloves?
Frisk: 'Well, no. But they do increase my attack, and why would I unequip them? They go on my hands, not feet.'
*Hmm...Wait, couldn't you equip ALL the items you have. The stick and toy knife could both fit in the tough gloves after all.
Frisk: 'Huh, never thought of that, let me just-'
*You equip the Stick
*You equip the Toy Knife.
Frisk: "AHHHH!"
*Your attack has risen to unimaginable heights! Yet...the mere image of a ballerina tough glove wearing dual-wielding toy knife and stick human is so absurd that you take critical mental damage at how ridiculous you look!
1/52
Frisk: "B-BEGONE!"
*You unequip all items but the old tutu and ballerina shoes, saving yourself from a horrid end. Perhaps such power wasn't meant to be used by human hands.
*You take a deep breath. And then, You move onward.
Notes:
Sorry, I'd usually say something funny or make a reference to W.D Overrated but my ego hasn't been stroked enough recently. Hint hint nudge nudge wink wink elbow hit elbow hit.
...hopefully this won't make me cringe when i'm old and balding. Boy would that suck.

*You move onward until-
*Woshua shuffles up.
*Fight
*Act <
*Item
*Mercy
*Check
*Touch
*Clean
*Joke
Frisk: 'Huh, a glorified washing machine, I wonder what's the correct choice. Maybe-'
*Touch <
Frisk: 'It's THIS?????? I-is it guys? I-i-i-i-i-is t-this the right one guys????? Is-'
*You remember that you're at 1 HP. One misclick and misstep is all that it would take for that 1 to drop to 0.
Frisk: 'You're such a worrywart. But fine, I'll play it safe.'
*Clean <
Frisk: "Yo! Haven't taken a bath in like...hours, could you help me out?"
*Woshua hops around excitedly. It digs into its...pockets? And-HOLY FU-
*BAM!
*...
Frisk: '...'
Woshua: "Don't worry, the hot spring is clean!"
Frisk: "...Okay."
*You enter the hot spring...with your clothes.
Frisk: 'THE SHIRT STAYS ON DURING SHOWERING!'
*...Gross.
Frisk: 'Shut up.'
*Woshua brushes your hair with an oversized toothbrush.
Woshua: "You're quite dusty, did you get into a scrap?"
Frisk: "A few."
*Woshua cleans the toothbrush, ridding it of your hair.
Woshua: "Hmm, well it's good to be clean. Both physically and mentally. Say cheese."
Frisk: "Chee-Ugh"
*Woshua brushes your teeth.
Woshua: "That's why my pops always said to stay clean, 'ya eat ya greens, and don't break no spleens!' You get me?"
Frisk: "Ku-inda?"
*Woshua once more cleans the brush and offers you a bucket. You spit the toothpaste into it and rinse your mouth with the hot springs water. Woshua cringes at the latter act.
Woshua: "Why don't you get it fully?"
Frisk: "I mean-"
Woshua: "Armpits up."
*You raise your armpits to be washed.
Frisk: "Being clean is nice, but being dirty is fun."
*Woshua looks at you like you've just dived headfirst into a dumpster full of feces.
Frisk: "Well, even if you don't think it's fun you still need to get dirty at times. That's how life is."
Woshua: "But couldn't life be better?"
Frisk: "?"
Woshua: "Imagine it. A world in which every monster is as clean as can be! A Utopia! A-"
Frisk: "Dream. And the thing about dreams Woshua? They rarely come true."
Woshua: "But if there's a chance, isn't it worth trying for?"
Frisk: "Ugh, I've heard enough moral speeches from so many goody-two-shoes to have my ears as clean as can be. Just check them-"
*Woshua checks your eyes
Woshua: "They are very clean."
Frisk: "See? I've heard this spiel a thousand times before."
*Woshua smiles.
Frisk: "What are you so happy about?"
Woshua: "Lot more clean folk in the world than I thought."
Frisk: "..."
*Woshua cleans up the rest of you.
Frisk: '...it feels good.'
*HP fully restored.
*You get off the hot spring, and Woshua with one-hand pockets it back into their non-existent pockets.
Woshua: "Because of all those clean folk, I'm sure the world will get cleaner every day! Don't you agree?"
Frisk: "...I guess. Ugh, whatever. Just take this and leave!"
*You flick 10 G to Woshua.
*Woshua's smile widens.
Woshua: "Cleaner alrea-"
Frisk: "I'm just paying for the wash! Now scram before I kill ya!"
*Woshua sweeps away.
*You won! You earned -10G and 0 XP.
*...
*Hey Frisk.
Frisk: "What is it?"
*...Good job.
Frisk: 'Pff, whatever.'
*...You move onward, a bit cleaner than before.
Notes:
Oooh, how wholesome!

Maybe a bit too wholesome for a geno run lol.

Chapter 50: Halfway there
Summary:
How does one celebrate chapter 50? Wait, DUH!
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*You move onward.
*An Echo Flower is up ahead. You stop to listen.
"Chara! It's me, your best friend! And let me just say, that sure was a close call! Just an inch closer and Undyne would've caught you. No...she'd have thrust her spear right through your Lil head. Would that have broken you Chara? Made you fall into despair and become the heartless murderer I know you are deep down?"
*...
"Hahahah! Oh, that would've been fun to see. But watching you slip by has its own charm to it. But how long until your luck runs out Chara? how long until you face something that can't be stopped with words alone? How long until you become just like me?"
*...
"Whatever you do, good, or 'bad', just remember...I'll be watching."
"...Uh just to clarify, that last Echo Flower? NOT ME! It was probably that smiley trash bag that broke it."
Frisk: 'Uhuh, sure."
*A long silence fills the room.
"Chara! It's me, your best fr-"
*Let's move on.
Frisk: 'Alright.'
*You move onward.
*You move onward. The surroundings change into a darker blue, and you walk on a road that splits a large lake in half.
*You move onward.
*You mov-
Frisk: 'Hey. Not to be a bother but...why does that Flowey guy keep flip-flopping between wanting us to kill everyone and fighting against the barrier's influence. I mean, don't they know that killing EVERYONE includes themselves?'
*...Asriel was never the sort to jump to violence. I admired him at times for it. But...when our lives were at stake...that mindset didn't do us many favors.
Frisk: 'Hm, you said something of that sort when we were fighting Papyrus.'
*...Yes. It's likely my fault that he has become the vile creature that he is today. I was...a bad older brother. That's why I must be good now, I must be an example that he can follow. One that won't lead him to the same ruin as all those years ago.
Frisk: 'Hmm, but isn't he doing the same thing?'
*?
Frisk: 'I mean, he keeps telling you that the best way to go about things is to throw away morality and just do whatever you want. Completely based in my opinion...but unlike me, he doesn't really benefit at all in convincing you to abandon your morality.'
*What's your point?
Frisk: 'My point is that in his own demented way, he thinks he's being the example that YOU can follow. So of course he won't take your lead.'
*...That's ridiculous. His example is wrong! It's evil! I'd never follow it!
Frisk: 'And your example is limiting, hard, and something someone as free as Flowey would never follow. See the issue?'
*So what? I just quit? Kill the monster I created and act like I'm some sort of savior when all I've done is-
Frisk: 'Yeesh! Chill it with the angst! I was just talking because I was bored, I'm not here to answer crap.'
*...You are the most infuriating person I have ever met.
Frisk: 'Thanks.'
*You move onward to a wider area with a hole in the center.
Frisk: 'Yo that hole looks Iphone shaped.'
*...
Frisk: 'Aw come on. Are we going to do this whole cold shoulder thing every time we have an issue? I get you want to kill me but do you have to make this journey so...boring?'
*W-WHAT?! Don't you have any empathy?! Or at least social awareness?! You just told me my own brother is hell-bent on making me as evil as them and that there may be NOTHING I can do to save them! Can you not understand how upsetting that is!?
Frisk: '...Like it's kinda hard to take you seriously when you use upsetting. I mean, just say you're fudging mad.'
*I FUCKING HATE YOU!
Frisk: 'Jeez, no need to get that upset.'
*...
Frisk: '...'
*You move onward and find a stone statue drenched by a rain that only hits it. You thoughtlessly move forward.
*You move to a location with a trash can full of umbrellas.
Frisk: 'Look at this Chara, I'm dual-wielding Umbrellas! No storm can stop me now!'
*You clearly did not read the sign that asked you to only grab one.
Frisk: '...Ugh, so this is how it's going to be? You're gonna throw a hissy-fit whenever someone slaps you in the face with the cold truth?'
*...
Frisk: 'Pfff, what a pain...'
*You look at both Umbrellas, then you move...backward?
*You look at the statue...
*Put the umbrella on the statue?
*Yes <
*Do not
*You place the Umbrella on top of the statue.
*Inside the statue, a music box begins to play...
Frisk: 'Look, I barely understand what's going on. I won't say I'm a good person, or that I even care about you. But well... if there's one thing I've learned from you is that it's hard to control what people want. No matter how much I hurt you, no matter what I told you...you still didn't WANT to hurt monsters. And in the same way...I don't want to be bored. I'm sure Flowey feels just like me. Because for us, that's more important than any morality. And...you probably can't change that about us.'
*...
Frisk: 'All you can do is try to figure out how to co-exist with those folks. Flowey will never be like Asriel. But...if you figured out what Flowey wants...maybe you could make him learn how to have fun helping others?'
*Why are you telling me this?
Frisk: 'It's not for any heroic reason. I just don't want to be bored. I like are stupid jokes, I like your wordiness, and I like having fun. And you giving me the cold shoulder makes things unfun. So I rather you be a whiney moral loser than some cold apathetic narrator that doesn't talk to me at all.'
*...
Frisk: '...Whatever. Kill Flowey for all I care. It doesn't matter much to me.'
*You sit next to the statue?
Frisk: 'I'm tired, it's been a long walk.'
*You close your eyes.
*Despite the deaths, despite all the pain, despite the worry that we have in each step we take.
*...The music box's melody sounds nice.
Frisk: 'It always will Chara, as long-'
*You yawn.
Frisk: 'As long as you're willing to listen...'
Notes:
With sweet character development!

*You move onward.
Monster kid: "Yo, you got an umbrella? Awesome!"
*M o n s t e r k i d h a s j o i n e d y o u r p a r t y!
Frisk: 'What?'
*Sorry, wrong game mechanic. They're just following along.
Frisk: 'O-okay.'
*You move onward with Monster kid.
Monster kid: "Man, this rain is real harsh isn't it?"
Frisk: "Hm."
Monster kid: "I bet Undyne comes here to train! Like...hits every droplet with her spear or something."
Frisk: "I think there's a few too many for her to hit."
Monster kid: "What? No way, Undyne is more than quick enough! Haha, why, if I was a human I'd wet my bed every night just thinking of the beating she'd give me!"
Frisk: "You shouldn't underestimate humans, there's a reason they won the war."
Monster kid: "Hm, I guess that's true...still, no way Undyne would lose!"
*You move onward.
*You move...downward.
Monster kid: "H-hey, when the king frees us, do you think the humans will be...nice?"
Frisk: "No."
Monster kid: "O-oh."
*You move downward, the rain droplets cover up the sharp silence that has taken hold of both of you.
Frisk: '...'
*You should say something.
Frisk: '...Fine.'
Frisk: "Humans can be jerks, and are easily scared of what they don't understand. That's why I don't think they'd treat Monsters nicely."
Monster kid: "..."
*Something supportive!
Frisk: 'Uh, they're just as much of a pain as you...'
Frisk: "But...I'm sure you guys will find a way. I mean, if you can make it out of this dump I'm sure you can make it out of whatever the humans will put you through."
Monster kid: "y-Yeah! You're right! After all, we got Undyne to save the day. A-and if Undyne can't do it then... Monster kid the monstrous and the stripped hero sure can!"
Frisk: "The stripped hero?"
Monster kid: "Uh, it's your hero name. Is it...bad?"
Frisk: "No...it's got a nice ring to it."
*You move onward.
*Hundreds of 'stars' shine as the castle stands at its full might. Far...but not nearly as far as before.
*Monster kid halts, You reluctantly stop to stare at the stars.
Monster kid: "...I don't think it's a dump."
Frisk: "Hm?"
Monster kid: "I mean...not everything here is trash. Some places are full of it sure but...this...this is nice."
*... The stars give the room a blue hue. One could be mistaken into believing that made the room sad. But it did not, as the room had the rains chatter, the castle's might, and most importantly of all...a friend's company. The room was not sad, it was tranquil like a lake that had no ripples or waves. It was at peace.
Frisk: "...Yeah, I guess it looks cool. Though I still think toy knives look cooler."
Monster kid: "Heheh, Yo that's so random!"
Frisk: "Whatever."
*You move onward with Monster kid.
*Another trash can full of Umbrellas stands before you. Reluctantly, you put yours back inside.
Frisk: 'Goodbye Brella, let us pray that one day our paths will cross again!'
*You move onward, a steep ledge is in your way.
Monster kid: "Yo, you wanna see Undyne, right?"
*You nod.
Monster kid: "Alright, climb on my shoulder then."
*You do that.
Monster kid: "Oww...Yo, try being a little less rough, haha."
Frisk: "I'll keep that in mind next time I step on you."
Monster Kid: "Haha, sure. Anyway, I'll look for another way through. Later!"
*Monster kid runs...and faceplants on the floor. They-
*You ignore it and keep moving forward.
Frisk: 'They'll be fine."
*You skip over the text-
Frisk: 'Actually, I'm okay with you giving me a summary. Just make it quick.'
*...You glance over the text and realize that the humans were afraid of a power that the monsters possessed.
Frisk: 'And that be?'
*The power they gain when absorbing a human soul.
Frisk: 'Oh, alright.'
*Glancing over the second text reveals how one-sided the war was. In it, not a single human soul was obtained.
Frisk: 'Yeesh, that's...weird.'
*...That part of the text always bothered me. A war as large as that and not a single monster could obtain a single human soul. It feels so-
Frisk: 'Ridiculous? I mean, how did they ever live in peace at all if there was such a power imbalance? You'd think the monsters would be like...subservient or something.'
*...
Frisk: 'Whatever. No point in getting hung up on the past when the present is already giving us so much trouble.'
*You move onward.
*You brush your hand against a star.
Frisk Lv 9 ?:??

*You mov-
Frisk: 'Hey, I've been thinking. How the heck did we survive going through Snowdin without like...catching a cold?'
*...Barrier?
Frisk: 'Heh, so like the barrier gave us cold resistance?'
*I don't know, how else do you explain i-
*Blue circle noise sound effect.
Frisk: 'Really?'
*How else would you descri-
*Spears shoot up from the ground.
Frisk: 'Hm, probably spear noise effect.'
*You look underneath the bridge you're on, Undyne stands below you. Her musical radio is playing a very menacing theme.
*You wave to Undyne.
Frisk: "Yo, how's it bee-"
*You narrowly avoid a Spear separating your head from your neck.
Frisk: 'No anime-like monologue? She's more serious than usual.'
*And even more deadly. Run.
*...You sprint onward, once more the hunt has begun.
Notes:
The chase beginss!!

Chapter Text
*You dodge spear after spear, your ballet shoes making you as nimble as the wind.
Frisk: "Ooh Undyne I plead for you to understand that I need my hand and head to move ahead. So let me live and I'll strive to make things right. Ooh, Undyne I plead-"
Undyne: "SHUT UP!"
*You jump over floor spears and deflect another one with the sole of your ballet shoe.
Frisk: 'Yeesh, I didn't think my singing was that bad.'
*She seems distraught.
Frisk: 'Yeah thanks Mx.obvious.'
*What I mean is a subtler approach is needed to spare us a spear through our heads. One unlike your brutish acts and more...sophisticated. Delicate, yet precise and intelligent.
Frisk: '...Or in other words, you?'
*Correct.
Frisk: 'Woah, even I don't stroke my ego that much before offering a solution.'
*Do you want help or do you want to die?
Frisk: 'Tch, and knowing big words doesn't make you-'
*Are you really going to choose to die instead of my help?
*...You roll your eyes in a VERY impolite and-
Frisk: 'Oh shut it, just get this over with.'
*Hmph.
Chara: "Undyne!"
Undyne: "What is it you filthy-"
Chara: "Go fuck yourself."
Frisk: 'What the fudge-'
Undyne: "WHY YOU-"
Chara: "You're a nasty tuna-looking wannabe hero who can't even aim her own spears! You're a shame to the royal guards, a failure to your people, and all your doing is fighting an innocent kid...and LOSING!"
*The number of cusses Undyne is generating is truly staggering for my pure mind.
Frisk: 'Pure? You just ended her whole career!... Wait does she get paid for this or is it like community service and-'
42/52
*Undyne erupted upward, shooting past the bridge like it was made out of cardboard and sending us up with her. Which is when we realized that the roof of Waterfall was not a soft thing.
Frisk: 'DAMN IT-'
*Undyne spun around, tossing us back down with so much force that we shot through multiple bridges like a bullet hitting tissue paper.
40/52
38/52
36/52
*I slam onto a sturdier bridge. Struggling up I see Undyne flying towards me like a rocket, ready to drop-kick me into the Abyss.
Frisk: 'CHARA!'
*At the very last moment You roll out of the way, yet we are forced to hold on to the ledge for dear life as the bridge shakes and nearly collapses from Undyne going straight through it.
*Good thinking.
Frisk: 'Fuck you! A-and I mean it! You're all on this crap about delicateness and then you-'
*Cram it. I play the long game, you'll see the results when we're done.
Frisk: 'Pff, I doubt! She just went straight to the dark below, the only chance we have to see her again is at her funeral. And uh, spoiler alert, I'm not attending.'
*...
Frisk: 'Come on, don't feel bad for her. She's as much of a psycho as-'
*Blue.
Frisk: '?'
*Look below.
*You look and find a trail of tiny blue dots on a nearby wall...another dot is made, a bit higher than the last one.
Frisk: 'She's climbing up?'
*It appears Undyne is ready to chase you to the ends of the earth.
Frisk: 'Ugh, c-can we just kill her? Like, come on! She'd rather die than let us go! There's no way to reason with-'
*All she needs is a sophisticated approach.
*You sigh.
Frisk: 'Fine. I'll entertain your fantasy, but we need proper teamwork to survive this.'
*Agreed.
Frisk: 'Chara...'
*Yes?
Frisk: 'Drop a beat!'
*We take in a deep breath.
Chara: "Ba ba Ba b-ba! PSsh bu ba psh pah bam bam other dropping a beat noises!"
*The power of my beat flows through you, you are filled with DANCE POWER!
*You start tap-dancing and moving your arms like you're swimming through a merciless ocean.
Frisk "Hm, oh yeah, channeling in my inner Dogerina for this one! Hmm!"
*You back-flip off the bridge and use the nearby wall to run towards the blue lights below.
*You're close enough to see Undyne hanging on one of her spears, her eyes widen as she sees you wall-run towards her.
Frisk: "UNDYNE!"
*Undyne swings her body to stand on the spear, bending it.
Frisk: "FACE ME IF YOU DARE!"
*The spear snaps up as Undyne leaps off it.
Undyne: "GLADLY PUNK!"
*Her fist collides with your shoe.
Frisk: "Tap dancing barrage!"
Undyne: "Fist of justice!"
*A hail of fists and kicks perfectly counter each other as you both fall down. To get an edge you'll need to look into other options like-
*The spear!
Frisk: 'Got it!'
*Grabbing the planted spear you rip it off the wall and toss it high above, then you jump off one of Undyne's fists to chase after it.
*Grabbing it mid-air you slam it back into the wall, slowing and eventually halting your ascent up.
*You stick out your tongue at Undyne. Flexing your arms you bend the poor spear till it's near snapping. Then, you let go.
*It sends you flying through the air and back towards the bridges.
*You enjoy the breeze that tickles your nose...well until you hear IT.
Undyne: "nnnNGHAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
*A flung Undyne shoots through the air faster than you ever could. Grabbing you by the head You can feel her muscles straining so hard that you know something awful yet very anime is about to happen. You brace yourself.
*Undyne tosses you through the holes you made the first time she threw you. You faintly see an iron blur move past you before looking up to find Undyne standing on the original bridge. While you're still passing the final hole she takes a mighty step forward that...oh goodness...she flips over the rest of the bridge high into the air... Is this an anime? Are we about to die to the protagonist?
Undyne: "NGAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
*She screams at the top of her lungs as her iron fists smash into your jaw.
20/52
*Your body is launched straight through the flipped-over bridge, snapping it in half like it's a stick.
16/52
*Undyne then jumps onto one of the bridge's halves and bounces off to intercept you on your journey up.
Undyne: "NGAH!"
10/52
*Her kick sends you hurtling into and through the other bridges halves
6/52
*You slide against an undamaged bridge, tearing off pieces of your already bruised skin.
4/52
*You lay on the floor, with a minor concussion and at least a few broken bones.
*In your blurry vision you vaguely see Undyne's super-hero land on the bridge you're on, the broken pieces of the original bridge falling down as she walks to you.
Frisk: "Uuuh."
*You've done a good job, now, it's my turn.
Undyne: "S-see! This...is the power...MONSTERS possess when...when-"
*Undyne falls to her knees, panting and hopelessly trying to catch her breath in a suit that won't allow it.
Chara: "Y-y-yoo-ou-"
*I paused, then used my one good hand left to snap my jaw in place. It stung like hell, but it fixed the stuttering at least.
Chara: "You should take out your helmet, it'll let you breath easier and-"
Undyne: "SHUT UP!...L-like I'd ever t-take advice from YOU!"
*Exactly why I suggested it. But I'll keep that to myself.
Chara: "Why not?"
*I managed to sit down to properly talk to Undyne.
Chara: "I mean, was anything I said before wrong? Ask around Waterfall, and everyone will agree that we've done nothing to harm them. While you? You've harmed plenty."
Undyne: "Shut...up."
Chara: "If you don't believe me just look around. These bridges are integral to getting around Waterfall. and LOOK at the damage you've done to them in your little hissy fit. The underground shouldn't be your hunting grounds. You-"
Undyne: "You...you think you're so innocent because I can't see the dust on your hands. But that doesn't change ANYTHING! You..."
*Undyne struggles up, manifesting a thin spear to point at me.
Undyne: "You...You killed Papyrus. Didn't you?"
*...
Undyne: "Don't play dumb! I...I know you came from the ruins, Alphys told me so. I... I bet you were the one that destroyed her cameras! So you could try to play innocent and get away with what you've done! Well you're fucking out of luck punk....because I...I know Papyrus."
*...Undyne's shaking.
Undyne: " Is he Weird? Naive? Self-absorbed? Sure. But Papyrus NEVER missed a meeting. And...and...he always responded on the first two rings! Night! Day! Afternoon! Morning! It doesn't matter! Papyrus will pick up the phone, and he'll do it with that same stupid glee he always has when he's called upon! He...he isn't the sort to miss a call... or miss three calls... or ten... or fifty...."
*Undyne's spear almost snaps under the pressure of her own strength.
Undyne: "I know...knew Papyrus. And you killed him!"
*Undyne rips her helmet right off. Her shark-like teeth are clenched so tight that I wondered how they didn't snap. Her hair was in a disarray and her singular eye was as small as a needle's point.
Undye: "Do it Human! Lie straight to my face and say that you're as innocent as you fucking claim! That you didn't kill him!"
*...
Chara: "I...I-i..."
Frisk: 'I killed him Chara, just talk. It's not a lie if you say it. if you-'
Chara: 'I know that! Of course it's not my fault!'
Chara: "I..."
*My vision blurred as I fought to get the clever words I had thought of out of my throat.
Chara: "We...He didn't-"
Undyne: "Come on...don't drag this out! Just tell me...look at me and tell me-"
*I looked at Undyne, her eyes contained a faint hope.
Undyne: "T-tell me that you didn't do it...that he's...alive."
*...
Chara: "I-i...I'm...."
*My vision got worse as the image of his headless body pushed into the front of my mind. I looked at my hands...they didn't seem as clean as I remembered.
Undyne: "You...you're crying? Your fucking crying?! You have the fucking gull to cry like you're some sort of victim in all of this!"
*Spears surround Undyne, her panting was fainter than before. But our bones were just as broken. I looked to the abyss below.
Chara: "I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't-"
Undyne: "Shut up! You're not a victim... You're the villain! The enemy to all of us monsters! A demon! And I'm the one who'll strike you down! So die demon! DIE!"
*The spears shoot at me, using the strength I have left I grabbed the edges of the bridge and pulled myself towards and then past it.
*We fell deeper and deeper down into the abyss. The last thing I heard before all went dark was the faintest of sobs.
*I could not tell who it belonged to.
Notes:
Very anime fight.

Frisk: "So uh, how's your day?"
*Moldgynormous gives a plain answer. The one you'd expect from a giant Mold. Y'know, wake up, go to work, try not to hit the ceiling's light bulbs, the usual. You nod, understanding that while it's a fine existence it...lacks something.
Frisk: "But you're not a fan of romance, huh?"
*Moldgynormous nods, which in turn shakes the entire room. It tells you that it's had more lovers than it has curves. And all the ruined relationships have turned this Mold bloated with heartache. Now, it wants something else to fulfill that Mold shaped hole in its heart.
Frisk: "Hm, I've been having a rough time also. I mean, I thought I knew what my life was about. Killing, destruction, torture-"
*Moldgynormous wiggles uncomfortably.
Frisk: "Umh...I'm a game developer...it's a very violent game."
*Moldgynormous nods.
Frisk: "But then I met this thing...let's call it... Dumb Mummy. Or DM for short. DM was just...the worst, but people like them are part of my...industry...yeah industry! And the idea that in some way I'm supporting this DM guy just pisses me off."
*Moldygynormous tells you it's only one bad mummy. Think about all the other mummies that are being helped?
Frisk: "You don't get it! They're the sort to fire their workers...and not give them severance pay!"
*Moldgynormous wiggles aggressively.
Frisk: "I know right! And just...ugh. It's not like I want to quit my job but I also don't want to need to deal with...That! I...I don't know, what would you do?"
*Moldgynormous wiggles with great wisdom.
Frisk: "But I don't want to preach about treating people nicely! It's just... it's not me! That's more something my Co-worker..."
*You get a wide grin. What are you-
Frisk: "Shitface would do."
*...Of course.
*Moldgynormous wiggles with even greater wisdom.
Frisk: "...Alright, I'll think about it. I need to be on my way though so-"
*Moldgynormous shakes the ground by getting up. Your rise is...less awe-inspiring.
*You wiggle waves at Moldgynormous and it wiggle waves back. It then wiggles away.
*...Wait, how did we understand what it was saying? All it did was wiggle.
Frisk: 'No Chara. It may have wiggled, but Moldgynormous also jiggled, mingled, and giggled. Moldgynormous spoke with-'
*I'm being serious.

*...Let's hope by the end of this we aren't temsane.

Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*You enter the tem shop.
???: "B-but...that's twice the amount of a month ago."
*You spot the Temmie you battled behind the shop counter.
College-Driven Temmie: "Hoi, colleg tuitiun go UP UP UP! So tem price ne ed up up up too! That just buzziness"
???: "Oh, o-okay."
*The monster covers her face with her fins. Ashamed that she'd asked at all.
Frisk: "How much is tuition anyway."
College-Driven Temmie: "Temmie thougt 999, But the houze crash has made economy very bad. Now it 9999!"
Frisk: "9999 is a 10x increase though. But your prices only doubled, I don't think you've got your math right Temmie"
College-Driven Temmie: "Hoi why u think Temmie need Colleg!"
Frisk: "That...makes sense. Well, I've got plenty of money."
*You turn to the fish monster
Frisk: "What do you need?"
???: "Ah no...you don't...I mean-"
*The monster quickly hides in a corner, trying to appear small. A hard task considering her size.
Frisk: 'Did you just call her fat?'
*That was not my-
Frisk: 'I really didn't think you had it in you. Especially to someone who's clearly struggling with her self-image.'
*It's not even a bad thing to say, you idiot!
Frisk: 'For shame Chara! FOR SHAME!'
College-Driven Temmie: "Hoi, ignoru Shyren. She ssshy! She juz WAAnt TEM FLAKES."
Frisk: "What's tem flakes?"
College-Driven Temmie: "Drugs."
Frisk: "..."
College-Driven Temmie: "Ha ha, Temmie jokin! Tem Flakes are most dulicious food EVUR!!! Look!"
*...It's just a bunch of torn-up pieces of colored construction paper.
College-Driven Temmie: "As uu saw, vury heigt Quality!! Now Temmie has normal, only 6g, cheeeeap! But expensiv? 40G. A-and premiem? Hoi, that 2000oG!!!"
Frisk: "What's the difference between them?"
College-Driven Temmie: "Nothing. But idiots buy the higher price ones all the time to flex how "rich" they are, then they go broke for a bit and we buy out all the closest resources. Houses, food, luxury items, etc. Once they start to starve it's the perfect chance to swoop in and offer them...Hoi Temmie do't have mafiu! U know that right? An if u dudn't... you wouldn't tell...WOULD YOU!?"
*Temmie's eyes go bloodshot red.
Frisk: "Nope, never! Mafiu? What even is that?"
College-Driven Temmie: "Ha ha, good!"
Frisk: "So...what tem-flakes did Shyren want-"
Shyren: "Noooo."
Frisk: "Oh, what's your problem? I'm helping you out!"
Shyren "..."
*It doesn't seem like she wants to rely on you.
Frisk: 'T-that's ridiculous! I have better things to do then-'
*You remember Woshua's sagely advice.
Frisk: 'I...did not remember it, but-'
*You remember Mad Dummy's uncaringness, how it bothered you how similar you two were. How...annoying it was-
Frisk: 'You are not talking me into-'
*You remember Moldgynormous greater wisdom. Their wiggles compel you.
Frisk: '...no.'
*...Please? Just...a bit of consideration for another person? For anyone other than yourself?
Frisk: '...'
*You look Temmie straight in the eye.
Frisk: "If we get enough money for your colleg will you lower the prices?"
College-Driven Temmie: "Suree! But Colleg vury expensiv."
Shyren: "Y-you don't have-"
Frisk: "Keyword on we. We're raising money Shyren! Their poorly hidden Mafia scheme-"
College-Driven Temmie: "Tem has a gun under this counter."
Frisk: "Their wonderful village is sure to have piles of money! All we need to do is give them a good reason to give that money to us! So...uhm...do you have any skills? Products? Uh-"
Shyren: "I...I can sing."
Frisk: "Alright...then-"
*You offer Shyren a hand.
Frisk: "Let's do a duet!"
Notes:
Oh yes, an actual FULL song is coming up!

Chapter 59: The End?
Summary:
Ready, FOR MUSICAL AWESOMENESS!
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*You and Shyren stand at the edge of a massive stage. The temmies sit on their tem-flake chairs. Shyren hides behind you, and because she's TALLER than you (Not fat) it doesn't quite work out.
*...You'll probably need to be the one to begin this duet.
Frisk: 'Right.'
*You start tap-dancing with your ballet shoes.
Frisk: "Yeah, I'm the best, every test I ace and outpace all my foes that give chase,"
*Your tap-dancing speeds up.
Frisk: "So I'm quick and slippery with a bunch of trickery so it's obvious my victory is guaranteed! Now say it with me Temmies-"
*Your tap-dancing is nothing but a blur even to your own eyes.
Frisk: "Yeah, I'm the best, every test I ace and?"
Temmies: "outpuce all ur foes thut guve chuse!"
Frisk: "So I'm quick and slippery with a bunch of?"
Temmies: "truckery!"
Frisk: "So it's obvious my victory is guaranteed! Now less of me and more of she-"
*You point at Shyren
Frisk: "Shyren pick up the beat!"
*Shyren's shaking as if she was in the middle of a world-splitting earthquake.
Shyren: "Si re...si re si m-i si mi"
Frisk: 'Oh no.'
*She's not a rapper.
Shyren: "S-si Fa... s-s-Si Fa So Fa So... Mi R-re Re"
*The Temmies' interest in Shyren's portion is rapidly fading. You can tell because Bob is licking the floors.
Frisk: 'It's...not that bad.'
*It's a tone slap. You were rapping about victory and she's singing a soft melody. Because of what You did the audience's expectations are completely betrayed by Shyren's act. Not good.
Frisk: 'Oh, so this is all my fault?!'
*We don't have the time to point fingers at each other. We just need to find a way to regain the audience's attention.
Shyren: "Re...R-re...."
*Shyren's voice turns to nothing but a whisper as the audience ignores her.
*...? A faint hum can be heard from you, one that matches Shyren's soft tone. Your falsetto intertwines with her soprano to create a melody that climbs ever higher.
Frisk: "Ooooooh Shyren look into my eyes, and you'll see what I see. That your voice can soar high, far past the skies! So...Sing with me, so we can achieve the wings that we need to be free!"
Shyren: "...M-MI So Mi Si Faaaa, So Mi Rei, Ooooooohhh"
Frisk: "Oooooh."
Temmie 1: "Woah, Hooman and Shyren sing vury pretty!"
Temmie 2: "I knew rught? So cuuuteee-"
Bob: "I finished licking the floor...oh and this is pretty cool also."
*The Temmies throw gold at both of you.
Frisk: 'It's not nearly enough! We need to sing higher!'
Frisk: "Come on Shyren, soar with me! Oooooooh"
Shyren: "Oooooh-"
*The Temmies vibrate in excitement! They throw more gold!
*Yet...at the same time you can feel your throat straining to go any higher. Your cheeks are burning red from a lack of air. Your pride crumbling at all the cute remarks from the Temmies! You can't last much longer!
???: "Looks like you're in quite a mess! But don't worry, the clean-up crew has arrived!"
Frisk: "Woshua?"
Woshaa: "And Woshaa! Girl Whosua, y-you can tell from the swan ducky. D-do you like the swan ducky or is it-"
Woshua: "No time to talk about your lovely Swan honey! Because it's clean-up time!"
*Woshua and Woshaa pull out a hot spring! The Temmies happily jump inside!
Woshaa/Woshua: "YAAAH!"
*Unsheathing their green and pink toothbrushes Woshaa and Woshua move so fast that they teleport to the other side. They sheath their toothbrushes.
Woshua/Woshaa: "Too easy."
Temmie 3: "Waah! I'm su Cleeean!"
Temmie 4: "Temmie's face SHINE!"
Bob: "My tongue doesn't have dirt in it? Woah, they're that good?!"
*More Gold is flung at you, The College-Driven Temmie starts picking it up with an oversized hat.
College Driven Temmie: "Hoi! Evun the guuld is Clean!"
Frisk: 'But still...it's not enough! I...-'
*Suddenly! The ground shakes with confident wiggling!
Frisk: "Moldgynormous!"
*Moldgynormous shoots a sonic boom into the Temmies ceiling, dust falls upon the stage like snowflakes as the room's lights go off. A spotlight beams down right behind, you turn and-
Frisk: "Moldsmal!"
*Moldsmal thanks you for teaching it that not all wiggly things are mold. With this knowledge its vision of who it could and could not love widened. And the true love that it had been missing was found! Moldsmal wiggles to the side, revealing its true love!
Frisk: "A bed lump!?"
*Bed Lump and Modsmal wiggle and jiggle romantically!
Temmie 5: "Suu rumanticc!!"
*The stage is showered with roses and gold!
???: "Don't forget us!"
*From up above Dummy missiles and actual Robot missiles fly around each other! A beautiful dance that eventually stops to spell out
"For Hire, Mad Dummies, and Robot Dummies!"
Frisk: "T-that means-"
Mad Dummy: "DON'T GET IT TWISTED! I DIDN'T WANT TO HELP YOU! I JUST...FELT BAD FOR THE DUMMIES! NOW FINISH THIS STUPID SHOW SO I CAN GO HOME ALREADY!"
*More Gold is thrown your way as the spotlight returns to you! Shyren readies a melody to accompany your Acappella! Moldsmal and Bedlump wiggle out a nice beat. Moldgynormous leans down so you can hop on top of its head to stand out from the crowd. The Dummies and Robo Dummies don't hit you with their magic bullets! Woshua and Woshaa throw you a giant toothbrush mike!
*You hop onto Moldgynormous's head. You rise so high that you can nearly touch the Not Stars in the sky! Everyone's hopes and dreams are so close. And despite all the awful things you've done. Your friends have shown you that there's no need to be awful. Even if-
Frisk: 'Alright, I get it. Friendship is cool. Now let's do it Chara!'
*Let's?
Frisk: 'I said we're doing a duet, not a solo! Let's just hope for the Temmies sake that you can keep up with me.'
*Heh, I can do a lot more than keep up!
Chara: "Oooh welcome one and aaaalllll, to our show!"
Frisk: "Weeee guarantee good times-"
Chara: "aaaand good laughs!"
Frisk: "So no more stalling! Let's get partying!"
*The Temmie's dance as the beat picks up!
Frisk: "We all have troubles that make us stumble-"
Chara: "But despite it all-"
Frisk/Chara: "You can do what's right! So stay determined and you might just find-"
*We point at Modsmal and Bed Lump
Frisk/Chara: "Your true love! Or-"
*We slide down Moldgynormous
Frisk/Chara: "A use for all your pain, Or-"
*Woshua and Woshaa leap up together, crossing their toothbrushes for us to jump off of!
Frisk/Chara: "A cleaner and greener world maaay await!"
*We do a bunch of sick flips as we rise higher into the sky. As we begin to fall Dummy Missiles and Robot Missiles work as one to give us a platform we can fly on! Going low we extend a hand to the Temmies. High-fiving each and every one of them as we make our way back to the Stage!
Frisk/Chara" "Or job prospects galore!"
*Landing on the stage we begin to do many anime-like poses!
Frisk/Chara: "Who knows what's in store!? So goooo aheaaad, live merrily, live happily knowing you're doing the best that you can! So come ooooonnn-"
*You offer a hand to Shyren, and she gladly takes it with her fin
Frisk/Chara: "Sing with-"
Frisk/Chara/Shyren: "Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!"
*We huff and puff as the song finally concludes. You look at the Temmie's-
Frisk: "...You can throw your money now."
*A hail of gold pushes you to the floor as an endless supply of cutesy cheers erupts from the Temmies!
Temmie 1: "Supper cutie aweSume coolz Play. 5 Tem star Out 5!"
Temmie 2: "Cleun, Noice, and FUNZZ!"
Temmie 3: "I loke The sung! Sorru, I muen I lovke the sung!"
Temmie 4: "Thunk u for plAy!"
Temmie 5: "Allorgie and loneliness cure! Temmie raudy to becume father of Egg! Tank u!"
Bob: "I'm going to need to file for bankruptcy. Worth it though! Also, I'm the mom of Egg. And we are happy parents...that need to find work."
College-Driven Temmie: "Hoi, that's suuuu much monez! Umh...huw much exuclty?"
*You look at the large pile of Gold...
Frisk: "...A lot."
College-Driven Temmie: "Dumbass I already know that. I mean-Hoi, how we cuunt uall it!???"
Frisk: "One by one?"
College-Driven Temmie: "Colleg gunna be ove buy than!"
Frisk: "Come on, this will take like...half a day at best to cou-"
College-Driven Temmie: "Colleg over by then!"
Frisk: "...Well that's bullshit. How are we going...Oh, wait."
*What?
Frisk: "Every time we needed help someone just appeared from thin air! And there's only one person left, so obviously Aaron is going to appear in 1...2....3!"
*...Nothing happens.
Frisk: "...Huh I really thought-"
???: "It's more than JUST A AARON!"
???: "IT'S-"
???: "THE-"
???: "AARON-"
*Three Aarons teleport behind you, all of them flexing their bulging muscles!
"SQUAD!"
*The Temmies scoot away from the Stage to avoid Aaron's muscles. The Aaron Squad ignores them and puts on lab coats and nerdy glasses.
Aaron 1: "You see, to obtain the value of this pile we must know the 3-dimensional space these coins occupy, and how densely they're put together. Then it's a simple matter of calculating the required coinage to create such a pile."
Aaron 2: "Of course to find how densely they're put together we must also consider their positioning, how spread out they are, how the floor may or may be hiding a few extra coins via holes. Changing the possible total amount."
Aaron 3: "For any untrained brain this would be nigh-impossible. But for the-
Aaron 1/ Aaron 2/ Aaron 3: "AARON SQUAD! This is nothing to the power of flexing and bulging brains!"
*The Aarons flex their brains. Purple auras shoot out from their heads as their IQs jump into the quadruple digits!
*The Aarons stop their flexing. Lowering their glasses in deep sadness
Aaron 1: "There is not enough money in this pile-"
*Dramatic Hois fill the room and-
*You plop all your money into the stack, killing the tension.
Frisk: "What about now?"
*The Aarons do their thing.
Aaron 1: "Nope, the pile does not have 9999 coins."
*More Dramatic Hois!
Frisk: "Wait really?"
*Our efforts...are friends help...are hopes and dreams! Crushed by the unwavering might of late-stage capitalism. Oh, the inhumanity-
*Aaron takes out a coin from the pile. He flicks the coin to you, and you catch it.
Aaron 1: "NOW the pile has 9999 coins."
*Happy Hois fill the room!"
College-Driven Temmie: "Oooh my guudness! Tem cun go to Colleg! COLLEG!"
Frisk: "Awesome! You...do that I guess..."
*You look around. Despite all you've done you feel like something is missing...
*You snap your fingers as you remember what it is.
Frisk: "Oh right, every Good Feel Good Musical ends with the cast jumping up into the air for a freeze frame as the credits roll!"
Mad Dummy: "That's true! I would know. My cousin WAS IN A MUSICAL. HIGH SCHOOL METTATON TO BE EXACT! AND HE WAS THE LEAD ROLE...and the love interest...and the antagonist...and bush number 3."
Frisk: "Come on, Bring it in guys!"
*Everyone surrounds you."
Frisk: "Alright on 3! 1, 2, 3!"
*We all jump with happy smiles on our faces as we freeze in the air.
Undertale Genocide Abridged!
By-
*Wait, aren't we still only halfway out of the underground?
Frisk: 'Oh right.'
*Everyone's faces flop onto the ground.
Frisk: '...Ow.'

Aaron (The Original/1): "It's a shame you need to go, are you sure you don't want to enjoy the after-after party?"
Frisk: "Sorry, but if I stick around for too long Undyne might catch word of this. And all that would bring is trouble."
Aaron: "Undyne's after you? Why?"
Frisk: "...I owe her 10 gold."
Aaron: "Ooh! Yeah, you should be on your way, she is...feisty with her money."
*You nod, You move onwar-
Aaron: "Wait, here!"
*Aaron tosses you a torn notebook. You catch it, he flexes, and all is good in the world.
Aaron: "Let the power of biceps...and mindceps be with you! ;D"
Frisk: "Heh, sure. See ya."
*You move onward.
*You move onward.
*You open the book while moving onward...petals fall out.
Frisk: 'Huh, well that explains why everyone showed up. h-Hey! Flowey did a good thing! That's like...a win for you right!?'
Chara: '...I guess.'
Frisk: 'Oh come on, what's your deal now? We just got off the most wholesome musical to ever exist. Isn't this the goody-two-shoes shit you wanted?'
Chara: 'Yeah...I just...didn't expect you to be in it.'
Frisk: 'O-oh...'
*You move onward.
Frisk: 'Still gonna kill me when we break the barrier?'
Chara: 'I mean...I should.'
Frisk: 'Okay...cool.'
*You move onward.
Chara: 'Will you still try to eviscerate everyone after the barrier is broken?'
Frisk: 'Like...I'm not really feeling it anymore. It be kinda...awkward.'
Chara: 'Yeah...that's good.'
*You move onward.
Frisk: 'This is awkward...why is this awkward?'
Chara: 'Hahaha, No clue!'
*...
Chara: '...Y'know, I still hate you.'
Frisk: 'Okay.'
Chara: '...That doesn't bother you?'
Frisk: 'I mean I never expected you to stop hating me. We got off on the wrong foot...actually a bit more than that heh.'
Chara: 'Yeah like you chopped my foot straight off!'
Frisk: 'And then you threw me in lava and only brought me out after I begged you to.'
Chara: 'Ahh, I remember that. It felt good.'
Frisk: 'Sure didn't for me.'
Chara: 'Hahaha...'
*You move onward.
Chara: '...I don't think I could ever forgive you for what you did to me.'
Frisk: '...'
Chara: 'You killed my mom, killed the people trying to help me, tried to make me as horrible as you were...are! And... you enjoyed it. Your such a sick fuck that you enjoyed it all!'
*...
Chara: 'Even...even if you break the barrier! Even if you never hurt another soul! There's no way the crimes...no, the ATROCITIES you've committed can be swept under the rug just because you acted good now! All those monsters...nothing can undo the pain you brought to them and their families!'
Frisk: '...'
Chara: '...But...what's killing you going to do now? Whether I like it or not you've...you've made friends. You've grown, you're not going to go around dusting monsters. So...if I kill you...what good will that cause?'
Frisk: '...'
Chara: 'B-but it's not fair! All those people you killed! All...all that you did to me...'
*My vision gets blurry, but I wipe the tears away with a clenched fist.
Chara: 'Why do you get to get away with it all! IT'S NOT FAIR! It's...not fair that I need to accept you.'
Frisk: '...Yeah. It isn't fair. But that's life. Unfair things happen all the time. And all we can do is to try to live with them...'
Chara: '...I don't know how I can live with this pain.'
Frisk: 'By moving onward. That's all we can do.'
Chara: '...'
Frisk: 'I know it's not any sort of relief but...I'll be here to help you.'
Chara: 'Ha, you, helping me? What a fucking joke.'
Frisk: 'Hey! It ruin my fun if you were stuck moping around all the time.'
Chara: '...You're gonna have your work cut out for you then.'
Frisk: 'You're not gonna have an easy time either, I mean...Flowey's not all that different from me. And they might be even more stuck in their ways.'
Chara: 'Hm...speaking of Flowey.'
*EchoFlowers whisper to you erratic sounds...The road ahead is scorched, with holes and cuts all over. A battle has clearly-
*You flinch?
Frisk: 'It's like something is stabbing into my heart...maybe I shouldn't have eaten those Tem-flakes.'
*YOU ATE THEM?
Frisk: 'They looked tasty.'
*Their cardboard you idi-
*You fall to your knees? Are you-
Frisk: 'It's fine, just...a bit out of it.'
*...There's a star up ahead.
Frisk: 'T-that should heal me up.'
*You limp onward.
*The Echo Flowers' whispers turn into shouts.
"CHARA! RUN! YOU-"
"CHARA! RUN! YOU-"
"CHARA! RUN! YOU-"
*...The Echo Flowers keep cutting off. You limp faster.
"the barrier chara. it's doing such...awful things. you can't keep going! turn back, leave me behind!"
*Asriel!
*We force ourselves to run.
"chara...chara it hurts...it...."
*We grab the star.
Frisk: 'C-CHARA!'

*...Frisk?
*...You get up from the floor, not even bothering to wipe the blood from your eyes.
*Frisk? Frisk! Frisk, say something!
*You...you move backward.
"you really fell for that. ahh, the infection! pff, I didn't even-"
*You...you crush an Echo Flower with your ballet shoes.
"assuming everything went to plan, you probably destroyed the-"
*You cut an Echo Flower with your toy knife.
"last echo flower...and that one-"
*You use your tough gloves to rip an Echo Flower right out of the ground.
"so i'll be making this quick-"
*You rip an Echo Flower in half with your teeth.
"for chara...I'm sorry, you-"
*You smash an Echo Flower to the ground until all its petals fall off
"i'm keeping my promise, i'm-"
*You claw at an Echo Flower until it's nothing but pieces
"making sure You suffer as much as possible. i hope-"
*You punch at the final Echo Flower. Its sound gets harder to hear
"that whatever of..."
*You punch the Echo Flower until it crumples.
"......you is left.....can see...this...heh...heheh...heehehehe-"
*You punch and punch and punch!
*...Nothing but dust remains.
*You get off the floor...and backtrack.
*Frisk...say something. Say something to me, Frisk! FRISK!
*...Whatever you're going to do, I won't allow it! I-
*I struggle for control.
*I struggle for control.
*I struggle for control...
*I struggle and struggle and struggle and...struggling doesn't do anything. I can't...I can't stop them...
*Frisk. Please stop. Frisk! You-
*...You've backtracked all the way to Temmie Village.
OG Aaron: "H-hey! You okay? You seem to have some...ketchup on your eyes...doesn't it hurt?"
*The other monsters gather around you. Wondering why you're so...motionless.
Woshua: "Woah, you need a serious clean up kid. Let me-"
Woshaa: "Honey...let's...not get too close."
Temmie 1: "iS hoOman oKai?"
*Moldsmal, Bedlump, and Moldgynormous all wiggle in concern.
Shyren: "G-guys...I think that's...blood?"
College Degree Temmie: "Colleg tuld me dat only hoomans have blood! Nu nuuu way they gut it!"
*...You don't make a sound, you don't blink...you don't even breathe.
*College Degree Temmie whispers
College Degree Temmie: "Look, these guys might be your friends but they're going to get scared if they realize you're a human and your acting...like this. So just...say something."
*...You do not.
College Degree Temmie: "...Okay. You've forced my paw"
*College Degree Temmie clears her throat.
College Degree Temmie: "Your conduct is ruining the image of Temmie Village and unnerving our customers. If you don't leave the premises will be forced to call on security to move you out. So please... go."
*You open your mouth...you might have screamed but... it's too muffled to tell.
Temmie 5: "bOB hude egg! Hooman looks scary."
OG Aaron: "Wait, they're human? I thought-"
College Degree Temmie: "Temmies just call all...cute things human! Don't worry everyone! This monster's just a bit out of it!"
*College Degree Temmie whispers again
College Degree Temmie: "Look I really do like you...but you're REALLY freaking out my customers. Just turn back and I won't need to call security to handle-"
???: "....i....i...i..."
College Degree Temmie: "Excuse me?"
???: "...sor....r....y...."
College Degree Temmie: "...It's...fine. Just...we'll get you a doctor. Hold still."
*...Your mouth is wide open...blood is slipping down your lips like drool. Your eyes are rolled back, only red veins and white showing...You move onward.
College Degree Temmie: "H-hey! Stand ba-"
*College Degree Temmie tries not to puke.
*Fight
*Act
*Item
*Mercy
College Degree Temmie: "E-enough! If you don't-"
*Fight <
*You grab her face and tear the skin right off. H-her muscles show, t-their as red as any human face...her eyes slip out of her skull and onto the floor. Her mouth widens, and everyone can tell that she wants to scream...but she can't. The pain is so bad that it chokes out any sound that could've come out of her.
*...She turns to dust. Many monsters run deeper into the village, and others prepare their magic to stop you. But...you don't take notice of any of that. You just kneel to grab the dust, checking its quantity. Finally, you let out your first stable word.
"More."

*Woshua blocks your kick with his toothbrush.
Woshaa: "Get away from him!"
*You avoid Woshaa's slashes by a hair and equip the tough gloves to rip Woshaa's toothbrush off her hands. You grab the sides of her bucket body, straining your muscles as you begin to split her in half.
Woshaa: "S-STOPP-a-AHH!!"
Woshua: "HONEY!"
*You use Woshaa's body to block Woshua's attack...which splits his beloved apart. Woshua drops his dusty toothbrush, he's shaking...
*You crush Woshaa's swan, finally turning her to dust. Woshua looks up at you.
Woshua: "Why? Weren't we...friends? Why did you do this! WHY DID YOU-"
*You equip the ballet shoes to kick part of Woshua's body straight off...his duck squeaks one final time before turning to dust.
OG Aaron: "Physic-"
Aaron 2: "Brain-"
Aaron 3: "Energy-"
Aaron Squad: "LOCK!"
*Aaron's powerful brain waves pin you to the floor. An inhumane scream leaves you as you push against it.
Aaron 2: "T-they're overpowering us!"
OG Aaron: "Tch. Then it's come to this...I'm sorry my friend. But we need to stop you! Aaron's, DO IT!"
Aaron 2: "Maximum!"
Aaron 3: "Muscle!"
OG Aaron: "EXERTION!"
Aaron Squad: "MEGA TON PUNCHES!"
*All Three Aarons hit you with the full force of their muscles!
22/52
*You shoot up into the sky!
*BAM!
*You go deep into the rocks above. Surrounded by stone you're left with little room to move. You struggle and struggle, shaking the stability of the ceiling until-
Aaron Squad: "RUN!"
*It falls apart, threatening to crush the monsters below! But some monsters are not beneath you, but above.
*Dummies and Robo Dummies charge at you from all directions! Leaping off the falling rocks you manage to outmaneuver them! Yet-
Mad Dummy: "SIKE-AH!"
*You equip your stick and bat Mad Dummy away like they're a oversized baseball.
*The rocks stop falling, you stop falling, and Moldgynormous starts staring you down.
*It tells you that the Aarons aren't the only ones with psychic energy. And that it's unfortunate that all it can offer you is a quick end.
20/52
*The rocks slam into you! Crushing you!
18/52
16/52
*Moldgynormous says goodbye.
*!!!
*A white light envelopes you, pulverizing the rocks and burning your flesh!
10/52
???: "AHHHHHH!"
*You...you move onward? Pushing past the beam using nothing but raw Determination!
8/52
6/52
???: "YAAA!"
*Equipping the toy knife you slash down. The beam vanishes as Moldgynormous lets out a single tear from its eye before its body is cut down like a log.
*You fall down onto its pile of dust.
*You turn your head to the Aaron squad...they shiver.
*You walk towards them...Frisk, give up. We can still fix this with a reset. We can-
*Aaron 2 throws a fist, you grab his forearm and slash your toy knife at his elbow
*He screams in pain at his lost arm before falling to the floor and turning to dust.
*Aaron 3 tries to stop you with his mind powers. You struggle but manage to equip the torn notebook. You show the contents of its pages, indecipherable scrawls. But Aaron's mind tries to understand it all the same. His veins strain and pop and-
*His head blows up, he collapses to the floor and turns to dust.
*You equip the tough gloves and stare down the OG Aaron. The Aaron you befriended is the same one that is now running away from you with tears in his eyes...please, stop this. Just reset. We can-
*You give chase. Getting closer and closer and-
OG Aaron: "Please! Don't kill me! I-"
*You uppercut OG Aaron. His front teeth drop to the floor.
OG Aaron: "Pweus-"
*You impale Aaron's gut with your palm. Your fingers toy with his insides, the farther they go the more Aaron leans onto your shoulder.
OG Aaron: "pweuse....pweuse! it-IT HUURTS! It's...so durk.I-i..."
*You smash your free fist into Aaron's face...it's barely recognizable.
OG Aaron: "I...I don't wunnu die...."
*You walk away as Aaron turns to dust...D-DAMN IT FRISK! These are our friends! Your friends! CONTROL YOURSELF. Isn't that what you wanted? Control!?
*...You stop. Yes, Frisk! Listen to me, you-
???: "UAUAUAGHHH!"
*You scratch at your face, trying to get rid of something that isn't there.
4/52
*Your skin peels off as you get more desperate. Finally, your arms drop to your hips...you step forward.
Temmie 1: "Not another step human!"
*The Temmies are dressed like an old-school mafia. Temmie 1 has a pistol, but others have AK47s, snipers, Bob is in a fucking tank?
Temmie 2: "Surprised? How else do you think Asgore accepts are illegal practices? You need REAL firepower to hold off royalty!"
Bob: "But this ain't just about us, what you're doing? Despicable. And we're the Mafia for crying out loud! So if you don't want your brains splattered across the floor then you'll drop your weapons and-"
*You step forward.
Bob: "Fine then...Girls, FIRE!"
*You dual-wield your stick and the toy knife. Deflecting the bullets back at the Temmies!
Temmie 5: "Hoi...Bob...I-i don't feel so good."
Temmie 4: "Temmie down, Temmie Down!"
Temmie 3: "You bastard!"
Bob: "THAT WAS MY HUSBAND YOU SON OF A BITCH! DIE!"
*Your ears bleed from the sonic boom of the Tank's missile! You equip the manly bandana and stretch it out. Hopping to the side you let the missile hit the bandana. Stretching it to its limit before sending the thing right back at the Temmie's
Bob: "Ahh shit."
*BOOM!
*The Temmies scream in pain as the explosion blows them apart. Dust falls like rain...you open your mouth to get a taste.
"MORE!"
*You dash onward.
*Frisk! Right!
*You turn your head and-
2/52
*Shyren's fin strikes you at your left.
*Left!
*You ignore my lie and look right, grabbing Shyren's fin right before it can hit you. You step on it and begin to push.
*Shyren screams out a piercing melody. The blood in your ears starts dripping onto the floor.
1/52
*But...it's not enough. Her fin rips right off. Now her screams are just out of pain...
*...
*...
*What are you doing. Finish her off!
*B-but you don't. You grab Shyren by the head a-and...Y-you fucking sicko! What is wrong with you?!
11/52
*...Shyren turns to dust with only half a face left.
Mad Dummy: "You... You are the worst person I HAVE EVER MET! UGHH! JUST LOOKING AT YOU MAKES ME SO SO SO SO FUCKING MAD. I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL-"
*A soft light briefly surrounds Mad Dummy.
??? Dummy: "...? This...This feeling...? E-eureka! Eureka! EUREKA! Human, that amount of unbridled emotion allowed me-"
*You grab the Dummy by the neck.
??? Dummy: "H-hey! Stand back, y-your-"
*You start clawing at the Dummies fabric, tearing it.
Terrified Dummy: "S-stop it! I-I've wanted this for so long! You can't take this body from me! Not now, I-"
*You... pause? Against the Mad Dummy, really? That's where you start feeling bad? W-whatever! Let me-
Relieved Dummy: "Hehe. S-so that got to you. I...I guess you're not as bad as I thought you were... um, are you okay, your shaking...a lot. W-woah!"
*You grab Mad Dummy and force him to stare down your pure white eyes, blood still hanging on the eyelids.
*You shake uncontrollably.
???: "Why..."
Scared Dummy: "W-what?"
???: "Why do you deserve to have a body..."
*..! A red dot starts growing in the center of your eyes.
Frisk: "AND NOT ME!?"
Terrified Dummy: "No. W-wait I can-"
*You cut the poor Dummy with your Toy knife, you bruise the cut Dummy with your tough gloves, you break the damaged Dummy's head with your Torn notebook, you kick to the floor the snapped head Dummy with your ballet shoes, you pierce their stuffy heart with your stick. You beat on them until even the dust is destroyed. All the while, screaming.
Frisk: "WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? WWHHYY!"
*The ground cracks with your pounding.
Frisk: "Why...why am I not in control. Why why why why why why-"
*...Your tears slip into the cracks of the floor. Frisk. I-
Frisk: "C-chara?! Is that you? N-no wait, Who are you? Who am I? Who-AHH!"
10/52
*...Frisk? Frisk, are you there? F-frisk?
*...It gets up...whatever IT is, IT is not Frisk...the red pupils are gone. Nothing but white emptiness remains...IT moves to the final victims.
*Moldsmal and Bed lump cower in a corner, they-
*Stomped to death.
*The battle is over.
Lvl 10.
???: "Enough."
*...Without another word, IT heads to the exit of Temmie Village. Paying no mind to the piles of dust.
*IT hears a soft tapping sound. Turning IT finds a small spider drenched in water. Barely able to move...IT walks to it.
???: "Tell Undyne."
*...IT points to the piles of dust.
???: "Must have her fight to restore system_information_962 and system_information_963, understood?"
*The spider looks confused. Particularly on why they haven't been killed yet
???: "Spider entities elimination is unneeded to restore system_information_962 and system_information_963 currently. The smallest number of deviations is optimal, understood?"
*The spider doesn't understand IT at all, but tries to get up anyway to inform Undyne of what IT has done...they fail.
???: "...Calculating amount of deviations healing spider would cause versus informing Undyne with [Vessel.Fr]...Calculating...Calculations completed. Authority to heal Spider permitted."
*IT pokes the Spider with Its pinky. The spider's wetness and weakness vanish as a green hue spreads through them. IT gets up, and so does the Spider.
???: "Leave immediately."
*The spider does so. And without another word, IT moves on to its next victim.
Notes:
So yeah, if it isn't obvious. All the pacifism was a attempt to make this killing spree more painful/impactful lol. Tell me if you think it worked at all.

Chapter Text
*IT moves on to its next victim.
*The walk to the final bridge is a silent one. If there was a Moldsmal then its wiggles would bring a sensation of motion to the otherwise still rocks and waters ahead of us. If Shyren was here we'd have a melody that would've complimented the rumbling of Waterfall's falling rivers or the occasional droplets from its stalagmites. If Aaron had survived...
*But nobody was around. And so the faint sounds of the Waterfalls were not a wiggle, or a melody, or even a masculine grunt. No, they were the creeping sensation of collapse. Of a corpse rotting and being consumed by an unyielding and uncaring force. By IT. Though whether one could call IT natural or not was still up in the air...
*...No response. IT moves on with a silence so deep that I wonder if I can not hear its thoughts like I could with Frisk...but that's a faint hope. One that I fruitlessly hold onto so I can dream that IT can be reasoned with. Because if IT can not...I'll scream to try to overcome this silence....and...I worry that my voice will not be heard...
*Is this the end? Is this how I'm going to die? Not turned mad by pain or erased...but simply forgotten by my own mind? Consumed by a silence that's not even mine?... I'm scared...Mom...Dad...Asriel! Someone, anyone! stop IT. STOP IT-
???: "Y-Yo."
*F-fuck! Monster kid, run! Get away from here! You can't-
Monster kid: "H-hey, I...I think we should leave."
*IT steps closer.
Monster kid: "Y-yo! Back off!...S-sorry. I'm just a bit freaked out. I heard a really loud party going on. So I decided to check it out. But...by the time I got there, everything was...silent. And a lot of dust also! A-and you have a b-bit of dust on your clothes s-so I...O-of course I know it can't be you! I mean, w-we're friends! You copied my Yo thing, and I became the Monster kid the Monstrous! I-i know you'd NEVER do something bad like-"
*IT steps close enough to be touching foreheads with Monster kid. They look into Its eyes and see nothing but white. Monster Kid scurries back.
Monster kid: "H-heh, d-d-didn't know you could do that! Umh...so...I-i think we should go. I-it sucks that we never found a way down to the abyss but...I-i think it isn't safe right now. S-Aah! W-what are you doing! L-let go!"
???: "Engage in battle."
Monster kid: "w-what?
???: "Deviations. Too many Deviations in this entity to properly activate fight scene. Calculations needed to forc-"
Monster kid: "Y-yo! Stop acting so weird! I-I'm your friend. You shoul-G-gck!"
???: "Calculations complete. Monster requires intent to harm to begin battle. An increase of pain should suffice in activating fight or flight response."
*...Tears slip out from Monster Kid's eyes as you continue to choke them to death.
Monster kid: "G-gck-ahgck-gkk-h-hel-ck!"
???: "...Fight response is being suppressed by the Monster's hope of outside intervention. Unwillingness to fight [Vessel.Fr] is also high. Greater pain is required. Calculating the most effective method..."
*IT equips the toy knife.
???: "Monster contains a fear of darkness created from hearing monster.net Creepypastas about demons coming from the Abyss below Waterfall...as well as the reported high suicide rates committed from falling into the darkness. Eliminating eyesight should result in increasing fear levels high enough for them to become combative."
*IT lets go of Monster Kid. They try to scream...but they're too busy gasping for air to be capable of such a thing. IT raises its toy knife, and-

Chapter Text
Monster Kid: "U-Undyne...you're...you're hurt."
*...Undyne's body has been split in half.
Undyne: "Hahahaa! Hurt!? Nah, this is nothing but a scratch! Go back home punk. I'll be dealing with this freak myself!"
Monster Kid: "B-but Undyne your-"
Undyne: "I said I'd take care of this! So get out of here! SCRAM!"
*Monster kid slowly walks away.
???: "...Deviations are minuscule...Calculating probability of this outcome affecting-"
Undyne: "Tch, I think I preferred when you were a prick...at least you still felt...somewhat human."
???: "..."
*Undyne's body is fading away.
Undyne: "...But now...I don't get you at all. Ever since our last uh... 'meeting', I kept hearing good things about you. How you helped Aaron or talked with the mold monsters or were a good customer to Woshua. And some monsters even called you...a friend...pah! But I'm no softie. Whether you're good or not doesn't change the fact that you need to die for Monsterkind to be free...still. I was...having a hard time picturing you as the freak who dusted so many monsters in Snowdin."
*...Nothing but Undyne's head remains...the rest is being melted or blown away by the wind.
Undyne: "...If there was someone else killing monsters...then it must be more important for me to deal with them than a kid who hasn't hurt a single soul...I...I really considered letting you go. Even if it was just for a bit...I felt like your presence would make everyone... happier...ha...I guess Papyrus rubbed off on me a bit too much...I'm such a fool..."
Undyne: "D...Damn it!...Papyrus...Alphys...ASGORE...I let my guard down for one moment...and now you're all going to pay for it...I'm...I'm.....sorry......"
*...Undyne turns to dust.
???: "...Soul is cracking...possibility of recovery is shrinking rapidly...reset might be required to correct Deviation. Calculating what actions are needed to ensure Undying state is activa-"
Undyne: "No...No!"
*Dust swirls around a cracked soul mending itself with a golden light. The wind howls and geysers rupture, all of Waterfall shakes! Calling for their heroine to rise once more!
Undyne: "I don't know what you're talking about. But we monsters won't live or die by your whims. We monsters are much more than...than things you can use for your twisted goals! We monsters have dreams, we have hopes...we are..."
*The dust solidifies into a body a head taller than the original. Undyne's armor is sharpened and her hair is spiked. Her spear is a bright gold that illuminates the room, nay, the entire underground!
Undyne the Undying: "WE ARE DETERMINED TO STOP YOU!"
*Undyne launches her spear at IT!
*IT equips the tough gloves.
*The tough gloves tear apart as IT uses them to block the spear. Even then IT is shot back! Its legs push against the ground, trying to slow the momentum of the spear! But it's no use! It keeps moving onward, unstoppable! Unbeatable! With Undying resolve Undyne's spear cuts through the silence and replaces it with the sound of crashing waves as IT is thrust through a river.
???: "Monsters DT levels rising exponentially. Far beyond estimated limit. Calculating-"
Undyne the Undying: "You know, you really piss me off."
*IT turns its head right before being punched in the jaw!
36/56
???: "Authority to increase awareness to elevate DT levels in [Vessel.Fr]... permitted."
*A red dot starts growing in the center of Its eyes. IT...or maybe...You turn your head to the sound of Undyne leaping at You with a spear in hand.
*Throwing away the torn tough gloves IT equips the toy knife, your muscles clench.
Undyne the Undying: "The monsters you killed, they considered you a friend!"
*You look away from Undyne, forcing IT to block her thrust. You and Undyne begin to fall, yet the combat does not halt as both Undyne and IT counter each other's attacks.
Undyne the Undying: "They trusted you! They defended you! And you killed them!"
*Undyne's attacks speed up, IT struggles to keep up.
Undyne the Undying: "Did you do it on purpose!? That party, those songs, everything the spider told me about...did you give them those bright smiles...so you could take them away!? So you could hurt them just a bit more before killing them!!? Come on! Answer me!!!"
*Undyne crushes the toy knife with her bare hands, and a few of your fingers along as well.
30/56
Frisk: "I...I don't know what you're talking about! Who are you, who-"
*...
25/56
*Undyne's spear pierces a hole straight through your chest...you can feel your Soul cracking.
Undyne the Undying: "So you didn't even give a damn enough to remember them? Pah! You disgust me!"
21/56
*Undyne's punch flings you straight through a mountain! it rumbles and crumbles as you slide across the floor.
Undyne the Undying: "So be it. For a beast like you, only one end is deserved-"
*The heart in the center of Undyne's armor changes from a shining Gold to a bright Yellow.
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "Death!"
*Thousands of Yellow spears shoot at You. You feel a weird presence in your Soul.
*The first Spear comes at your right, and so IT turns to the left and uses your stick to block the spear.
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "So you're familiar with my technique? Very well, let's see how good you really are! NYAH!"
*The spears accelerate, forcing IT to equip the ballet shoes to have a chance in keeping up with this hellish pace. Grabbing one of the deflected spears IT throws it back at Undyne. She cuts the spear in half with her own, then teleports behind you with raw anime speed!
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "Desperate to get a hit in, huh? That's fine, I prefer close combat anyway!"
*IT blocks Undyne's thrust with your ballet shoes, you-
18/56
*One of Undyne's spears strikes you from behind. You stumble.
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "Oh? Did you really think I'd slow down for a demon like you? Hahahaha, fool! A hero shows no mercy when returning a demon to the abyss! NYA-"
*Undyne grabs you by the back of your hair and leaps into the abyss
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "AAAAAH!"
16/56
*You eat rocks as Undyne scrapes you against a wall...Bloody tears slip out of you as your face is ripped apart.
15/56
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "Tch! Of course, the only thing a demon like you could cry for is itself!"
*Undyne locks you in a tight and loveless hug. Her armor's heart changes to dark orange as you both start plummeting faster than ever before.
???: "Look ahead Demon."
*...You stare into the abyss
The Undying Bravery, Undyne: "That silence...that darkness...the end you deserve is upon you! And if I need to die to welcome you to death then so be it!"
*...You struggle and struggle, but you lack the strength to break free.
*Frisk...It's me! Chara, you remember me...right?
*...You continue crying...
???: "DT levels plateauing. Pain is near maximum without interfering with critical thinking. Calculating best method to-"
The Undying Bravery, Undyne: "Your Sci-fi bullshit is getting old! It's like you have...uh...what did Alphys call it... Dislocation Identity order? Something like that! You-"
???: " Calculated. [Vessel.Fr] DT levels can increase with proper motivation. Allowing access to every painful memory [Vessel.Fr] has suffered...at the same time."
The Undying Bravery, Undyne "What are you-H-holy shit!"
14/56
*You thrash around in Undyne's grip! Your drool mixes with your tears. You scream until your voice gives out and your ears ring. The searing agony of Glyde's beam. The crushing weight of the Ruins collapse. The piercing pain of a warrior's spear. You feel them all at the same time... it's too much for a mind to bear.
13/56
*...Stop it... they're dying. They're going insane! They're-
???: "Desperation levels plateauing. Blocking out pain and accessing [Vessel.Fr] memories of victory. Heightening dopamine rush felt in each one, permitted."
*...Your thrashing stops, your muscles relax, and your mouth finally shuts close as the pain vanishes...yet something else is happening. It takes a while for your body to do much of anything. Likely recovering from the strain the pain put on you...but it does recover...you touch the dust still on your striped shirt. You smile.
???: "Blocking out-"
The Undying Bravery, Undyne "Enough of this! Whatever you're doing, it ends now!"
*Undyne throws You, then shoots a spear at your head!
*It chases your falling body, getting nearer and nearer by the second.
???: "pleasure unless following Vessel.Gui.File.1 . Permitting light but ever-growing pain as long as [Vessel.Fr] refuses to follow Vessel.Gui.File.1"
*Your head throbs as the spear's tip touches your eyelashes. Your heart skips a beat as it nears your eyes, half your vision is blocked out by this deadly orange. You feel the pain creeping up your neck, whispering the melody of your screams.
*You look past the spear. Past even Undyne as you look into the past itself. Your mouth waters as you remember each kill. You want to feel that rush. You NEED to feel that rush.
Frisk: "RAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
*The spear is blown away by your roar. A red aura wraps around you, pushing your items off. Your eyes are as white as the dust on your torn shirt. Your hands crack as you look up at Undyne. You smash your hand into a nearby wall, halting your fall.
The Undying Bravery, Undyne: "A second wind? Ha! You think that-G-gah!"
*Undyne gasps as you gut-punch her. You smile, then launch a barrage of blows. All of which connect and pummel Undyne.
Frisk: "DUST DUST DUST!"
*You step on Undyne, then leap off her. Like a bullet you shoot up into Waterfall's ceiling. You take a breath before looking down. Miles separate you and Undyne. You crouch your body, close your eyes, then...jump. The ceiling falls apart, and the world is but a blur with nothing but that sweet taste feeling real. The taste of victory, of growth, of...
Frisk: "DUST!"
*Your fist crashes into Undyne's heart, cracking the armor and launching her into the abyss.
*...Undyne. The sound of her crash echoes across Waterfall, signaling the end of their hero. Frisk...are you-
*You laugh...and sob as the pleasure fades and the dull pain returns.
*Frisk, please listen to-
Frisk: "Noo! Need more, more! I need...I need dust! DUST!"
*You looked around...but nobody came. Your tears fall into the abyss. Your mind is left in tatters with no one to knit it back together.
???: "...Another battle with minimal influence on the battle system. Deviations are getting worse, new-"
"NYAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!"
*The abyss glows a dark purple.
The Undying Perseverance, Undyne: "You fool! Did you really think death could stop me from killing you!? HAHAHA!"
*The abyss glow gets brighter...no it's getting c-CLOSER!
*You shield yourself as millions of spears escape the abyss.
12/56
"You think I wouldn't come at you-"
*A bigger spear breaks apart, revealing u-Undyne inside of it!?
The Undying Bravery, Undyne "HEAD ON?!"
11/56
*Her headbutt cracks your ribs and sends you hurtling up!
10/56
*You crash onto part of the falling ceiling and hold on for dear life. You try to regain your breath while crawling to the top of your boulder. Your rock is far from the others, its...a safe spot. Minus the fact you're plummeting back into the abyss.
*Climbing to the top You see a yellow-oh you're fucked.
The Undying Justice, Undyne: "Did you think Justice wouldn't find you?"
*The boulders around you explode as Undyne strolls to you. You try to crawl away but all that does is give Undyne the space to drop-kick you.
9/56
*Sploosh! Into the water you go. You try to swim to the shores, but Undyne blocks you off. Her arms crossed over her cracked golden heart.
Undyne the Undying: "Hm, all that, and you're still going. You don't get it, do you? Why you can't beat me."
*You try to punch Undyne, but she grabs your blow. Your hand wobbles from your attempt to push forward. You aim to hit Undyne with your left, but she catches it effortlessly.
*She pushes you deeper underwater.
Undyne the Undying: "You fight for no one but yourself. You have no sense of Justice, no Perseverance that pushes you to new tactics, no Bravery to face the evil within you. You're nothing but a mindless villain. An enemy to not only Monsterkind but humanity as well. That is why you can't beat me, Demon! I, Undyne, fight for the whole world! So no matter how vast your determination may be, you'll still lose! Because the strongest wills are forged with the hopes and dreams of the people we fight for! For our friends! For our lovers! For everyone! That is why I'll win, because you're a villain, and I'm-"
*Her armors heart shines a brilliant white.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "A HERO!"
5/56
*You gasp for air as you're kicked out of the water.
???: "Error! Error! Error! DT levels overcoming [Vessel.Fr]"
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "Still alive, Punk? Guess I'll need to-"
*You see a white light zoom past you, then leap around all of Waterfall, gaining speed with each jump.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "BREAK-"
*Faster.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "MY-"
*Stronger.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "LIMITS-"
*Harder.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "ONE-"
*Tougher.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "MORE-"
*Smarter.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "TIME-"
*More Determined than ever before.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "NYAAAH!"
*A giant white spear shoots at you. Undyne is in the center of it. Her fist outstretched to smash into you.
The Undying Heroine, Undyne: "HEROIC SPEAR OF HOPES AND DREAMS! TRADE MAAAAAARKED!!!!"
*All fades to white as the spear crashes into you.
0/56
*Your soul shatters.
*...This might be the end.
*The world is getting darker and darker. Your mind is slipping into an eternal slumber...its time for you to rest, Frisk.
*It wasn't a pleasant experience...but at least it's over. A fair ending I'd say.
*The villain bested by the hero...
*...You struggle...
*You're still struggling? Trying to stay awake despite how sleepy we both feel? Come on, our journey had its cute moments...sure. But overall? It was painful. We both know that. Not only to the monsters but to ourselves. Why you were going insane just a moment ago.
*...You struggle.
*...What's so important that you have to come back? Just...let it end Frisk, let both of us...die.
*You struggle against the end.
*...You want something. That something... it's so core to you that not even IT can override your feelings towards it. There is...a reason to why you continue moving onward no matter what.
*You...you are empty. Something that once filled you is gone...what is it Frisk, what do you want?
Frisk: '...I want to look into a mirror...and know...that it's still me. I'm still Frisk. I'm alive! I exist! I'm a person, not a villain, not a vessel, not anything but what I am...'
Frisk: '...I want to feel like...myself again...I...I-"
*The cracked pieces of your soul combine once more.
Frisk: 'I want to live!'
*...You refused to die.
00.0000000001/56
*You lay on the floor, unable to move even a finger. All you can do is watch as Undyne gets closer to you. And thanks to your blurry vision...you can't even do that all that well.
Undyne: "You're...you're still alive? Pah, you're a stubborn punk. I'll give you that."
*You close your eyes. The strength that had brought you back had vanished as quickly as it had come. And now...you felt devoid of any willpower at all. Your infinite supply was somehow drained up in a single act.
Undyne: "But this...this is over. You're done for. Nowhere...left to run. Now...DIE!"
*You hear Undyne's spear cut through the wind. You try to think of something nice before returning to the abyss...yet the end doesn't come. You open your eyes, now able to see a bit more clearly.
*Undyne is a melting mess. You can tell she's trying to move her legs...as just an inch more would be enough for her spear to cut into your cheek and end you once and for all. But her feet aren't even intact anymore. Her arms are barely hanging on, so pushing them any further is a no go as well...
*You look at her, and she looks at you, neither of you says a word, but a lot is said in the eyes of folk who are both near death.
Undyne: "So...this is it. I got you on the ground but can't bury you myself...tch, what rubbish."
*Undyne melts.
Undyne: "Heh...Heheheh...If you...if you think I'm going to give up hope, then you're wrong. 'Cause I've...Got a power that you don't! One stronger than any evil! My...my friends! I-i told Alphys that if I didn't respond to any of her messages then...something had gone wrong. And...I've been fighting you for a long while! So by now, I bet she's already evacuated everyone from Hotland!"
*Undyne melts with a wide smile.
Undyne: "Soon! She'll call Asgore and tell him to absorb the 6 souls! D-do you see it Demon...? M-my brute force may have failed...but Alphy's genius won't. Asgore's resilience won't! And...together...with our efforts...we....we will beat you! A-and...this world...will live on!"
*Undyne melts with a satisfied grin.
Frisk: "...I didn't want to destroy this world."
Undyne: "Tch...y-you're playing victim NOW? Hahahahah. Don't be a fool...I know what you are...you...demon."
*Undyne turns to dust.
*...You look up to the 'stars' of the underground...
Frisk: "No...no you don't...no one does. No one has...for a very...very long time."
*Those are the last words you speak before IT overtakes you.
???: "Battle complete. Murder level high enough to continue."
*...It limps onward.
Notes:
Woof, this was exhausting to right. Very high-energy.
(Just imagine I wrote "Wright" correctly the first time.)

IT moves on to its next victim.
*The path forward is more rubble than road, but IT drags your body through it all. Uncaring for how death follows each and every one of your steps with an eager smile.
*IT moves to its next victim.
*We walk through a narrow bridge and move past a water cooler. IT moves to a save point.
??? Lv 12 ?:??
*Save <

*Up ahead is a giant white building... it gives off a very...nerdy vibe. IT moves closer.
???: "Error. Error. Error. Deviation in door. Calculating-"
*I do remember the laboratory being a tad less...grey.
???: "FUN value too low. Location is incorrect. This Deviation must be corrected, [Mystery man] should not act as a roadblock. Reset required to-"
*The door slams open...it's so dark. Like someone opened a door to a black hole...w-wait is it...spreading?!
*Hotland's bright oranges turn darker and darker, till only grey and black remain.
???: "Deviation-"
*IT pauses as a giant hand waves at it from the door-
???: "...Error, h-"
*The hand grabs IT and pulls us into the darkness. We use our fingers to grip the door's edges, trying to fight back against the hand's pulling. But the door slams shut...and everything goes dark.
*The hand pulls us further down...or maybe...up? Sideways? It's unclear...but one thing is apparent.
*It's getting darker, and darker.

Wait is Gaster gay? I kinda always thought him as Asexual tbh since I head-canoned him to being a workaholic. So outside of his hobbies/experiment he isn't really interested in anything.
Also isn't Gaster technically jobless, not in education, and not in training?
Oh...oh fuck.
GUYS...and GALS......AND THEY/THEM PALS!GASTER IS A NEET!

???: "Finally...I'm here...Now-"
*The paper floor shines as the man spreads his arms.
W.D Gaster: "Let's tell my story! Let's start with the glory, W.D was a genius of the highest degree, and while you were on addition and subtraction Gaster was in action making traction with so many breakthroughs you'd think I was trying to break through the barrier! I was! Uh Yuh, but if you don't believe it with hearing then believe it with seeing!"
*The paper morphs into manga-like panels of all Gaster's achievements, a Bachelor in Science at 5, Royal Scientist at 7, and at 9 his shaking hands with Asgore as the first blueprints of the core are being made.
W.D Gaster: "But unlike my Dino Nuggy replacement I ain't no geek but a bonafide Nerd, so instead of arguing of dub or sub you should just read the MANGA!"
*W.D Gaster coughs into the hole in his hand.
W.D Gaster: "Apologies, I just tire of hearing arguments over Mew Mew Kissy cutie 1 and 2 when the manga is the far superior product. I've estimated that the manga foreshadowed the tonal shift of the series over 54 times, while the anime only had 12 at best. Even Mew Mew's wish was re-worded in the anime to be more cutish when the original managed to make it both selfless and selfish in its intents, which was a great way to set up for the final arc in which Mew Mew would need to confront the very contradictory nature of wishes themselves. The original mangaka Mr.Monogatari did an amazing job at blending both cuteness and darkness in the original, something that the anime completely failed to adapt! This is why I've rated both Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 1 and 2 0/10 stars on MyMonsterAnimulist.net. You can see my full 30,000-word break-down of why both adaptations fail in this google doc link, you can also-"
Goner Kid: "Gaster...your song."
*W.D Gaster coughs into the holes in his hand again.
W.D Gaster: "...Right."
W.D Gaster: "Anyway-"
*The panels wrap around you, instinctively you close your eyes...yet no harm comes. When you open them you see a dark lab with a giant red skull shining with Golden energy. The floor is littered with papers. A more stable Gaster with a white lab coat runs around, turning on and off all sorts of things you can't quite understand. The lab coat Gaster suddenly stops, then turns to you. He sings as softly as an angel
W.D Gaster: "Unfortunately, I was surrounded by incompetency. I saw what they couldn't see, and that brought me-"
*Black goo stains his lab coat.
W.D Gaster: "Insanity!"
*Raising his arms the papers fly up into the void within Gaster's eyes. Briefly, you catch sight of all sorts of headlines-
*Attempts to use Core Energy to crack the barrier ends in tragic failure after assistant-
*Royal Scientist W.D Gaster denied access to the human soul's for-
*Royal Scientist W.D Gaster's last album reaches the top charts! Should he quit the pursuit of science to become-
W.D Gaster: "You've seen my glory now see my fall from the staaars! As I recall how far this world will go to keep us imprisoned! King and me, dreamed to beee freeee, yet his mind was too small to understand! Cross the barrier with what we have, get the souls, get our freedom, and get the sun near our grasp! But every time I asked he denied and my life further collaaaapsed!"
*The lab begins falling apart as W.D Gaster flies higher.
W.D Gaster: "I could feel my mind straining as the world pushed me away from the truth that was nearing. So I knew I had to break my chains to regain my brain's strength to retain my soul's dream to be freeee! So I calculated and estimated the barrier was made of pure human DT. Only it could enforce this will on all of us, so I made a device to lull its powers might! Absorbing the DT around us, turning light into darkness, nothing could hold me no more, I would soon be free... or so I thought!"
*The machine begins to crack as light spills out of it.
W.D Gaster: "I believed the barrier was the enemy, just like you kids thought it would be! But I learned in my final moments that another force was at play, it directed the barrier's strength!"
*A bright light overtakes both you and Gaster.
*Once more you're in the void, with Gaster more melted and dark than ever before.
W.D Gaster: "The angel's will shined down its light and casted me to a darkness so dark that I could never return or be heard. Never I'd see the sun...never I'd hold my sons, never I'd live again, that was Gaster's ennnnnd...till now."
*The music stops. The void begins to crack.
W.D Gaster: "Do you understand human...no...Frisk. I have been controlled and enslaved just like you...we have...a common enemy."
*You nod as the void cracks. Gaster smiles.
W.D Gaster: "Very good...now listen up...I'll only be able to say this once."
*The void begins to crumble. Gaster's voice becomes distant.
W.D Gaster: "I know things, things that have been forgotten and erased. Things you once knew...I can restore such memories...but the Angel will inevitably erase them once more...unless you follow its direction. As long as you listen to its plan it will allow you to exist however you want, with your memories...or without. Stay silent, even in your own head. Don't deviate from what occurred in the original timeline. The deviations will come naturally...And...wait. Wait until the very end to fight back, that is when the Angel's control will be the weakest...understood?"
*You nod as Gaster becomes nothing but a dot in an infinite void.
W.D Gaster: "Good...and remember...I'll be watching...because this will be......."
"Very.........very................interesting-"
*The void shatters apart, you open your eyes to see...a giant metal box in front of you?
???: "OH YEEESSS! Btw, that's copyrighted and trademarked."
*Oh no...Undyne's getting sued.

Damn, a lot of tough chapters close together. I think I said this before but songs are tiring,

Mettaton: "HM, I MUST SAY, YOU ARE A UGLY LITTLE CREATURE. I MEAN, I WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH A STRIPED SHIRT THAT TORN...OR DUSTY. YOU'D REALLY BE DOING US ALL A FAVOR IF YOU PUT THAT DISGUSTING HEAD IN A OVEN OR TWO. IN-FACT-"
*The metal box rolls back, showcasing an overpriced oven with his face painted on.
Mettaton: "THE OFFERS UP! GOING ONCE! GOING TWICE! AND..."
*...You do not raise your hand.
Mettaton: "WELL THAT'S A SHAME, IT SEEMS YOU HAVE NO TASTE AND NO MONEY. POOR, UGLY, AND HATEABLE! WHY THE GALS AND GUYS AND PALS MUST BE ALL OVER YOU...TO KILL YOU...BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT 110%! ON THE TOPIC OF YOU BEING A WASTE OF SPACE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR MY TOP 15 REASONS TO WHY YOU'RE AWFUL? NUMBER 15, YOU HATE PUZZLES. WHO HATES PUZZLES? SO WEIRD! NUMBER 14-"
???: "Deviations worsening, connection with [Vessel.Fr] briefly lost, calculating changes to-"
Mettaton: "HEY! THE KILLER ROBOT SCHTICK IS MY THING! CAN IT YOU-"
*You step forward.
Frisk: "Alphys."
???: "..."
Mettaton: "Alphys? HA! WHILE YOU WERE BUSY DOING YOUR R-RATED ACTIVITIES ALPHY'S WAS RUNNING AROUND EVACUATING PEOPLE TO SAFETY! NOW THEY'RE IN A PLACE YOU'LL NEVER FIND! DECIDING NOT TO FIGHT YOU. MY MY, SHE REALLY IS THE ONLY SMART ONE, ISN'T SHE? BUT I'M NO MINDLESS BUCKET OF BOLTS EITHER! I CAN TILL YOU'RE ITCHING TO TEAR ME TO SHREDS...AND ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY TO THAT IS... T-O-U-G-H-L-U-C-K! THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE STARS THAN IT NEEDS CORPSES! TOODLES!"
???: "...[Vessel.Fr] changes seem beneficial for now, further calculations will be done while [Vessel.Fr] eliminates Hotland monsters...correct?"
*...You nod. You then move onward.

Frisk: "Die."
Vulkin: "...That's not...nice."
*Vulkin turns to dust.
*...You move onward.
Notes:
WOAAHAHH, Frisk is being a extra jerk! And specifically to Chara!
I wonder why????!?!?!?
Also this is going to get a lot less funny since both Chara and Frisk are sorta...well not in a good state of mind to make silly jokes. So I hope you liked the wholesomeness of waterfall! Because Hotland...does not have that lol.
But hey, Author notes are still going to be silly! Because I'm silly!
WEEEEEEEE! (That's the sound effect kids make when sliding down a big thing right?)**
Chapter 69: 69...nice: Tsunderplane (38 left)
Summary:
...Okay I might've been wrong about it being unfunny. B-but its darker, trust me! The Tsunderplane fight is very gritty and realistic and just so dark!
...ngl, It is kinda sad though...especially since I kinda ship Tsunderplane with Frisk...and Chara...and Jerry...and everyone.
What can I say, I'm very dere dere for the tsunplane.

*What...riveting dialogue. Let me guess...You move onward.
Frisk: 'I'll jump into the lava if you don't shut up.'
*...Not like it'll matter, we'll come back.
Frisk: 'Oh it's just that easy for you, huh? You get to decide what matters and doesn't willy nilly-"

*Tsunderplane flies a bit higher, out of range. Seriously, what is your problem?
Frisk: 'A lot of things! If you haven't noticed, I'm a person with a lot of problems! 99 problems in fact, and you're the biggest stinkiest one of them all.'
*Stinky? I'm hygienic, proper, and a decent human being unlike you!
Frisk: 'I'm the one who actually took a bath you motherfucker.'
*...Why would I fuck Toriel?
Frisk: 'B-because you're a freak with a sick furry fetish!'
*You're the one who has a fursona!
Frisk: 'That was irony Chara, IRONY!'
Tsunderplane: "I-Idiot! Stop ignoring me! I-it's not like i-i-I want your attention or anything! B-but staring forward is just...super creepy, I-idiot! You-"
Frisk: "Enough! Your limerent feelings are poorly hidden by your snobby mean girl act!"
*...Did Gaster give you a bigger vocabulary?
Frisk: 'Nah, I just heard Tsunderplane say it a while ag-W-wait! Why am I telling you this? You suck!'
*...Here we go.
Tsunderplane: "S-shut up! I-it's not like I'm coping with my fear of rejection by acting snobby because I've been rejected before by my OWN PARENTS. I-idiot, it's not like that!"
Frisk: "...Wait so did you want to fuck your airplane mommy and daddy or-"
Tsunderplane: "SHUT UP!"
*Tsunderplane crashes into you!
*You hold her still with one hand.
Frisk: "...Y'know what, whatever. Feelings hardly matter-"
*Tsunderplane's nose cracks-
Frisk: "After you're dead."
*Your punch obliterates Tsunderplane. It explodes and you walk into the explosion because you're a dumbass.
*You wipe the dust off your shirt and move onward.
Notes:
You...you can't imagine how hard it was for me to write all of this...
And not say BAKA once...
Honestly not that hard.Also I feel like I said the mother fucker Toriel joke already but uh....reusing content while slightly modifying it is Webnovel writing 101! So you can just consider that the sequel joke.

*A beam of steam shoots you up to the other side of the road. You move onward, using the vents to jump from road to road. You approach an arrow rapidly switching from right to left. You land left and-Oh, an item!
*You equip the frying pan...you use the nearby conveyor belt to return to the original road...you move backward and use the vent to move upward...
*You cross a lighter road with turned-off machinery...

*...I never said that.
Frisk: 'It's how you see me, you piece of shit.'

*A room with 4 vents-

*Your frying pan shatters RG 2 blade before spinning his head around a couple dozen times...his neck inevitably snaps. RG 2 turns to dust.
RG 1: "N-no! RG 2...I...I never got to...!!!"
*RG 1 blade slashes are wild and frantic. Yet RG 1 changes between his many battle stances as smoothly as a wave returning to the still waters of the ocean.
Frisk: 'Aaaand his swords snapped in half.'
*...Yes, it is true that each slash only dented his blade more in its futile attempts to cut you...but one must admire such excellent swordsmanship! Truly he is deserving of the royal guard-
Frisk: 'Stop trying to make yourself feel better.'
*I'm not-
Frisk: 'He can't hear you, or even see you. It's pointless to try to be nice when we both know that all he'll feel is pain and regret after I kill him.'
*...When did you become such an edge lord?
Frisk: '...'
*RG 1 screams before charging at you, and with little effort, you backhand RG 1 helmet. Which hurtles half of his helmet to the lava below...and that half of his face as well.
*RG 1 falls to the floor. You move onwa-
*RG 1 grabs you by the leg.
RG 1: "Noooo...I'll...I'll...a-avenge my...bro...."
*...

*You kneel to RG 1 level. You rub the remaining parts of his head in the same way a child would when talking to their senile uncle.
Frisk: "Shhh, don't prolong this. The sooner you die the sooner you'll get to see your bro. Then...you can finally confess. Live a merry life...not wear white at your wedding...trust me, it looks bad on both of you."
RG 1: "We...wed?"
Frisk: "Yeah, stay on that. Wonder on who proposed or whatever...just close your eyes and imagine it...it'll make this less painful."
*...RG 1 closes his eyes...he soon turns to dust.
*You get up and move onward.
*I thought you said comforting them was pointless.
Frisk: 'The way you do it is.'
*If you still care about these monsters, why are you acting like...this?
Frisk: 'I...I don't care. Not now...maybe later...I just...'
Frisk: 'I don't want twatter to cancel me for killing the gays.'
Notes:
I wonder if this will cancel me on twatter lol.

BTW I do not support the words and actions or thoughts of a mass murdering genocidal child.
Yeah, just need to make that clear.**
Chapter 71: Kitchen talk.
Summary:
A lot of edgy and angry jokes in this one. Honestly I prefer the wholesome ones but it fits with the current state of minds of Frisk.

*You vent to a light blue colored and polka-dotted floor that-
Frisk: 'I vented!? It seems I'm the imposter Among Us!"
*...What?
Frisk: 'Oh right. You died before that game came out.'
*Okay...was it good?
Frisk: 'Nah, I hated it. I was just going to tell you how I'd eject you from the ship.'
*...O...Oka-
Frisk: 'Which would mean all your family and friends would view you as the parasitical scumbag that you are and finally kick you out of MY body.'
*I was joking before Frisk. But now you really are being an edge lord.
Frisk: 'Shut up, it's my way to cope!'
*Why! Why is it your way to-
"Oh, are you guys going through ANOTHER frenemies break up?"
*Asriel!
Frisk: "Ass-riel!"
Flowey: "hahaha, very funny. I'm guessing your...what's the name again...wait did you ever say your-"
Frisk: "What the hell are you doing here!?"
*Flowey rolls their eyes.
Flowey: "What am I doing here? What do you think, jackass?! Not even an hour ago you were wiggling hips with Modsmal, then in the next 30 minutes you go Terminator mode on all your friends, vanish into that weirdo's door and come back the same jackass you were in Snowdin!"
Frisk: "...I'm not the same as I was back then."
Flowey: "Of course! How could I forget how BORING you are right now. You're all-"
*Flowey's petals drape over his eyes.
Flowey: "Ughhh, life sucks! No mom, I don't want to go to Monster Hut! Ugh, you're embarrassing me with your maternal affection!"
*...I know it's irrelevant but-
Frisk: 'No, you're right. Goths are cool.'
*...Good.
Frisk: "Me and Chara agree Goths are cool. Your outvoted Ass-riel."
Flowey: "Well of course Chara agrees! They were always pushing me to have a goth phase with them, get matching eyeliner and creepy stuff like that."
*This is very irrelevant!
Frisk: 'No, hold on. This is good evidence for my twatlonger.'
*...Evidence for what?
Frisk: 'How you groomed me.'
*What the fuck? How could I groom you? I'm a year older at best and-
Frisk: 'Are you saying abuse victims need to confront their groomers and educate THEM on their fau-' (poorproliperlasmasy)
*I will FUCKING kill you if you don't shut up! Just because I mellowed out on you a tiny bit doesn't mean I'll hesitate in RIPPING your tongue out if you keep-MMmm... you know what...this is the reaction you want. I will not stoop to your unscrupulous behavior.
Frisk: '...snobby British accent sound effect'
*MMMHHH! THE SOUND EFFECTS ARE MINE! WE AGREED ON THIS!
Frisk: 'Heh, that always does the trick in pissing you off. Fine, I've got my fill of your tears...for now. Du-'
*Dun dun dun sound effect! Ha, got it, fuck you!
Flowey: "Um hello? Earth to local lunatics!"
Frisk: "Alright, fine! I'll...I'll give you the exposition."
*You give Flowey a long-winded exposition of what we currently believe is happening. You unsurprisingly leave out whatever Gaster showed you.
Flowey: "Huh...I always did think the world was a bit...gamey. If the angel is controlling you with the barrier's strength then we'll need to shift plans. I'll get the 6 souls first, then go to the surface to collect a few more....8 to 9 should be enough to handle something powered by 7 to 8 souls worth of energy...right?"
*...
Flowey: "...Chara. I understand, you...feel weak...betrayed...yadda yadda yadda. You hate all the killing lil guy over here is about to do. But could you...NOT get in the way of me talking to them?"
*...Why aren't you saying anything?
Flowey: "Ugh, so you're really THAT much of an idiot. Fine I'll-"
Frisk: "You don't need to do that."
Flowey: "Oh?"
Frisk: "I've...Gaster showed me what would happen. Asgore...Asgore will absorb the human souls, and our fight will erase this timeline. Restarting it anew and weakening the angel. The next restart should be enough to end it once and for all. If you try to absorb the human souls there's a chance that ending won't come at all. And who knows what the Angel will do then."
Flowey: "Huh, so pops finally got the guts to pull the trigger?"
*Asriel...Flowey gives you a freakish grin.
Flowey: "I wonder what else he told you. Y'know, there's a lot of things I never got a chance to-"
Frisk: "Fuck off, I'm not giving you any more information than what you need to not get in my way."
*Flowey winks at you.
Flowey: "Come on, I just wanted to ward off some boredom. You can-"
Frisk: "F.U.C.K.O.F.F, FUCK OFF. Is that phrase foreign to you, Flower boy?"
Flowey: "Hmph! I'm not as stupid or as vulgar as you."
Frisk: "Vulgar?"
Flowey: "Idiot! All those no-no words are good for no one!"
*Facts.
*You wrongfully eyeroll.
Frisk: "Saying Fuck is bad but you getting a metaphorical boner every time I kill a-"
Flowey: "Don't word it like that you freak!"
*Do you not have the least bit of dignity in that worthless name of yours?
*More wrongful eyerolls!? F-for shame! Shame!
Flowey: "Ugh, fine I'll let you off the hook. Buuuuut if you ever change your mind just give me a shout...I'll be enjoying watching you rip all those monsters into dusty pieces! Oh, and Chara..."
*...Flowey gives a genuine smile...which makes what he says next all the worse.
Flowey: "Try to enjoy the ride."
*Flowey plops away.
*...He's as awful as I dreaded he'd be. No remorse when watching his fellow monsters die...
Frisk: 'Yeah...never was all that much of a fan. But it be pretty hard to convince him of anything while we're in the middle of killing everyone. Right?'
*...I guess.
Frisk: 'Good, now do your thing.'
*...You move onward, leaving the empty kitchen behind.

Chapter 72: Spider Den end.
Summary:
The conclusion of the Spider arc I started in Chapter 9 because I thought recreating the Itsy Bitsy Spider song would be cool...
Also vent joke.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*You move onward, the core is in sight.
*You reach out for the save point.
Frisk Lv 12 ?:??
*Save <
*Return
*You move onward to an elevator.
*Entering inside you select Left floor 3.
*You move onward to an abandoned spider bake sale... there's no spider's insight. You move onward.
*And-
*OH MY GOODNESS!
FRISK: 'YAAASH!'
*Oh the vent room.
Frisk: 'The vent room!'
*Full of vents to launch us-
Frisk: 'Left and right-'
*Up and down-
Frisk: 'All around we go-'
*Vent room!
Frisk: 'Vent room!'
*Welcome to the vent rooooom!
*And now goodbye!
*...
*...?
*...Why the fudge did we do that?
Frisk: 'Magical properties, that room is designed to make you sing along.'
*...Really?
Frisk: 'Nah I'm joshing you. I've got no idea why we started singing...I think were both a bit cracked in the head...might be a side effect of meeting Gaster.'
*...You move onward into the spider den, ignoring the save point.
Frisk: 'It's not like I'll need it.'
*The room is dark and full of cobwebs. Your trudge through it is slow. And the high-pitched giggles all around you only heightens the growing tension.
Frisk: 'You're talking like there's a chance of us getting killed.'
*I'm telling you to be careful. You've messed with a lot of spiders. Who knows what they've prepared for you.
Frisk: 'I'm sure I'll be-'
"Ahuhuhuhuh! Did you hear what she said...?"
Frisk: 'Oh right, Muffet's here! I'm so glad to see my...least favorite store owner.'
"They said a human wearing a striped shirt will come through. I heard that they hate spiders. I heard that they cut spiders down for FUN! I heard that they stomped on our gals in the ruins. I heard-"
Frisk: "You hear a lot of things you overgrown bug."
"...That I do human. Ahuhuhuh, but luckily-"
*A swarm of spiders surrounds you, Muffet gifts you with a twisted smile. In her hands the humanoid spider carries a familiar small one...Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Muffet: "I have a good source. Ahuhuhuhuh! What a shame! A human comes down and their too rotten to eat! Oh well, I'm sure your tears will have a delicious taste once we pluck those Beaty...h-hey! Stop giving me that poker face! How can I imagine how great your tears will taste when you keep your eyes shut?"
*You look at the Its Bitsy Spider.
Frisk: "If you want to live I'd leave. I wasn't joking when I said that I would make this place empty."
Muffet: "Ahuhuhuh! A jester, how amusing. The human truly believes they'll leave with their rotten life. Well girls, how about we show them the special treat we've made just for them! Ohh deaar-"
*You-

*A giant spider is protected by its teapot armor. It roars out a menacing...duck squeak as its...candy like legs pierce into the cobwebs...
Frisk: 'A lot less scary when you start thinking about it right?'

*Aaand it's dead...huh, that was easy.
Frisk: 'What do you mean huh? Undyne punched us through MOUNTAINS, some obese spider pet won't-"

*Muffet wraps thick cobwebs around you, a weird-
*Fight <
*Act
*Item
*Mercy
*...Whatever that weird feeling was is gone...because Muffet is dead.
Frisk: "Okay are we done here or-"
???: "RGAAAH!"
*A giant swarm of spiders work together to form a massive purple hand. It hand signs out its rage
Spider Swarm: "THIS IS FOR CUPCAKE!"
*It tosses you into the air
Spider Swarm: "AND THIS IS FOR OUR DEAREST MUFFET!"
*It slaps you back down to the cobwebs.
*Fight <
*Act
*Item
*Mercy
Spider Swarm: "AND THIS IS FOR MONSTER KIND, FOR EVERYONE'S FUTURES A-AHHHHH!"
*The spiders scream as you use your frying pan to crush the majority of the swarm. They scurry away.
Frisk: "Anyone else?! Anyone?! No?! Alright, we're moving onward Chara, so get-"
*STOP!
Frisk: ‘...Give me back control. Now.’
*Look below dumbass!
*You look down, Itsy Bitsy Spider is right below you, mourning the deaths of her loved ones with a lily flower placed on top of their dust. It turns to you, then bumps into your leg.
Frisk: ‘...Is the lil gal still trying to kill me?’
*...The fight menu isn’t showing up Frisk. It bumps into your leg again.
*You raise your shoe, wondering if there's something below you that it wants. The moment you do, the Itsy Bitsy Spider runs below your shoe…then it just…lays there.
Frisk: “Hey, beat it. Or I’m going to crush you.”
*The Itsy Bitsy Spider does not move.
Frisk: “HEY, IDIOT! I just killed all your friends! I’m more than capable of killing YOU! So-”
*The Itsy Bitsy Spider does not want-”
Frisk: ‘I know it didn’t move you shitty ass narrator! You-’
*It does not WANT to move Frisk.
Frisk: “...So you mean like-’
*Yes…it’s asking you to kill it.
Frisk: ‘...oh.’
*...
Frisk: "...Don't you want to at least try? Scheme up some crazy plan to kill me? Or hide away and eat your pastries or whatever. Something more than just...dying?"
*The Itsy Bitsy Spider taps her legs on the bottom of your shoe.
Frisk: "...Y'know I've died before. From what I can tell it's a whole lot of nothing...I'm not sure there's a spider heaven you can-"
*The Itsy Bitsy Spider taps harder on your shoe.
Frisk: "...People will miss you."
*The Itsy Bitsy Spider slowly draws out letters on the ground with the plentiful cobweb around. You wait, foot still up in hopes that you can stop at least one unneeded death.
*After a full 4 minutes, the message was finished
"The Itsy Bitsy Spider went to the spider den. Full of hatred for the human. Down came Muffet to hear the spider's plea... and so when Alphys came to evacuate the den...Muffet stayed put with her friends...The Itsy Bitsy Spider was the cause of this all. Of Muffet's fall of all that went wrong!
Because the Itsy Bitsy Spider thought it could go against...the human that would wipe out the underground...
The pathetic Itsy Bitsy Spider had one final plea, for the human to stomp down...and end its soundless screams."
*...!
*Frisk you-
Frisk: 'Mercy. In this case, that's what this is."
*That's...that's wrong. You...
*You'd stomped down on the Itsy Bitsy Spider, crushing her once and for all.
*...You let her dust fall to a pile near Muffet's, and allow the rest of the den to mourn their loss as you move onward.
Notes:
Yes you sing out the Itsy Bitsy Spiders message.

*We can still reset.
Frisk: 'So what?'
*The spider, we could-
Frisk: 'What could we do, Chara? If we don't fight then the angel will kill Muffet anyway. And if Muffet dies so does the heart of that little spider.'
*...If we worked hard, we could find the right words to convince it to live.
Frisk: 'We barely know them Chara! Do you have any idea how many resets that would take?'
*It wouldn't be impossible.
Frisk: 'It would run the risk of the angel doing something far worst!'

Frisk: '...We can't risk anything, Chara. We're so close to the end of this hell.'

???: "THIS IS YOUR END-"
*The froggit appears right behind you, sheathing his blade with the smuggest smirk you've ever seen.
*In an instant you feel a thousand slashes tearing into you.
???: "FOR ALL OF MONSTERKIND-"
*A thousand butterflies circle into a single space before morphing into a feminine Whimsalot with two dual spears and massive wings. With one flutter an entire tornado is created, bursting open the doors of MTT hotel and threatening to push you off the road.
*The three figures speak at the same time.
???: "WE FACE YOU!"
True Final Form Froggit: "With a mighty blade!
Allsightedness: "With great insight!"

Chapter 79: More and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and
Summary:
This is gonna be the final "A bunch of the same lines to depict how much time/repetitive this process is." chapter. Which means their's gonna be a lot more...of that to really hammer in the repetition and to get Chara to their breaking point.
So it's not going to be all that exciting.To understand Chara's full breakdown I think going through and reading every single line is needed. Because only then you'll feel the same frustration and anger of literally going back and forth for a enemy to pop up and be killed so then you can go back and forth to do it again another like...minute later.
But I understand that a few of you do not have that time. Or do not wish to experience such frustration. This is after all a silly jokey story despite the dark points it can reach. And so I'll be making a obvious signal to when the repetition ends so you can skip it.
And for the people who ARE going to read every single line...
Well you can consider it like crossing the finish line...and....Thank you for being so determined....and a masochist lel.

*You pop the head of the second Pyrope, it doesn't take long for the dust to be blown away.
Pyrope: "Why are you so cold? Burn, baby! Burn!"

Pyrope: "Ya feel it, Baby? Good! Let's heat it up! Let's HEAT IT-"
*Fight <
*You shoot Pyrope's lower body. It shatters apart, dropping Pyrope's head to the floor. Their head begins melting into dust.
Pyrope: "Why...why so cold...I was just trying to...warm you up...."

Notes:
Do you feel frustrated? Bored? A bit blue balled?
Then I am very proud to have achieved my goal in these grinding chapters!Light trolling aside it was actually pretty hard figuring out the right amount. Too much and its well...too much. Too little and it doesn't give off the feeling of being a overly long/exhausting process.
I hope it was um...I guess Its not some suppose to be pleasant lol.
Um hopefully it was a interesting experience at least?
(Hopefully this doesn't get my fic deleted for something like..."Spam!" Come on Admins, it has a narrative purpose!)And also for anyone reading after the edit...
Yes I did intentionally take out the (Number left) so you wouldn't know if the last monster is killed or not lol.**

Again, congrats if you manage to read all of ch 79.

*What?! You mean...In ALL the timelines we've had this NEVER happened before?
Frisk: 'No.'
*Ughhh.
Frisk: 'We must have missed one.'
*Missed one?! You're a fucking savage. I don't think you missed killing a single bug much less a monster!
Frisk: 'Who knows Chara! Maybe another Whimsun killed themselves before it reached us. Or a Froggit croaked on an oversized bug. Or-'
*I don't give a fuck about your examples Frisk! Just tell me how to find this thing before the Angel comes back and kills everyone!
Frisk: 'Hmmm. Let me think.'
*Oh. Let me think. Like the Angel couldn't be back at any second! How the hell are you so calm about this? How-
Frisk: 'Obviously I'm more matur-'
*No! No no no! We do not have time for this chit-chat! Give me an answer, NOW!
Frisk: 'Yeesh! Fine. Well, whatever mistake can be undone by a reset. And our last save point was at MTT hotel. So if we just-'
*Frisk...that's before we killed all those monsters.
Frisk: 'I know, we'll need to kill them again.'
*...
Frisk: 'Chara?'
*...
Frisk: 'C-chara?'
*...Again? What was it...20-
Frisk: 'umh... it was 35 left.'
*Frisk...it took so long. And all we accomplished was killing children and saviors and fucking everything that could move!
Frisk: '...'
*I-i can't do this anymore Frisk.
Frisk: '...Chara.'
*We've gone against everything we set out to do.
Frisk: 'We still-'
*Open YOUR eyes Frisk! W-we failed! We fucking failed!
Frisk: 'That's only in the short term Chara! You need to think big picture! By the end of this, the Angel will be done for, and we'll be home free. Free to-'
*How do you know that? Do you have a device that can estimate how close we are to being free?
Frisk: '...We'll no bu-'
*Do you have any proof other than your word that Asgore is even going to get the 6 souls?
Frisk: 'W-why would I lie to you about that. We're in this-'
*I don't know! Maybe you're just a lunatic who wants to hurt me in every way possible! Maybe the Angel is fake and you just acted like you were being possessed so you could trick me into believing-
Frisk: 'Gaster told us about the Angel! How could I fake that?'
*I...I don't know Frisk. I don't know anything anymore.
Frisk: '...'
*I...I tried so hard Frisk. I tried to be tough and not care but...I was nothing but a fucking crybaby when Mom died. And when I gave up Papyrus was there to raise my spirits, even if it cost him his life. A-and after what I'd done to Asriel...I thought I had to push forward. To do my best to do good.
Frisk: '...'
*B-but I don't even know what good is Frisk! I never have! I'm just a big liar who believes in my own bullshit!
Frisk: '...But you did do good Chara. Your effort taught me how to be kind even without a heart. You-'
*And what did that amount to? All the friends we made...all the people we helped...we killed them all the same.
Frisk: 'Chara...I know it's hard. They were my frien-'
*No! They weren't. They were your toys Frisk. You said it yourself, you don't feel empathy or remorse. Everyone is just amusement for you and being kind happened to be more fun for a while than being an asshat.
Frisk: '...That's not true Chara. Even if I don't have what you do...I still don't want any of them to die.'
*...Well, they're dead now. So who cares what we wanted.
Frisk: '...'
*...And this isn't even the first time, is it? You and me. We've killed these people before...how many times? A dozen? A hundred? A Thousand times?!?
Frisk: 'It doesn't ma-'
*Of course it matters! It matters! Because...that's the amount of times I've failed everyone. That's all I've ever done...fail people.
Frisk: '...'
*I couldn't save anyone. I couldn't change anything. I'm a useless and worthless piece of shit that's better off dead! At least then...if I died...they could've escaped by now. They could've been free from this hell!
Frisk: '...'
*But I was impatient and stupid a-and I lied to my own family. All for an awful plan! I mean, of course it was awful! I'm the lazy and uncaring piece of shit that always took the easiest path! That did nothing but act like a coward! Like, duh! Did I think becoming a God would mean I wouldn't have to confront humanity? Confront its evil? Confront how much of a rotten person I was and still am? Because if that's the case then Flowey was right! I'm an idiot through and through! A big fat stupid idiot!
*...
*You can laugh, you know. I'd laugh. After all, it's hilarious to think I actually believed this twisted plan would work...in the end...even Asriel caught on to how worthless everything I'd done was. But I didn't listen, I fought back, screamed at him to kill them, to finish this...and we died because of it. My own obsession with doing the 'right' thing got my brother killed. And In all likelihood ruined my family's life in more ways than one...
*...If I'm not evil then I'm a fucking idiot, yet I still act like I'm in control...because it's all I can do. Makeup lies and explanations to cover up the weak and pathetic person I am.
Frisk: '...'
*...I just...I want this to end...I don't want to hurt anyone else Frisk.
Frisk: 'Chara.... there's something you showed me a long time ago. In another timeline...the first one. I was low on HP and I couldn't even hurt the enemy I was facing. All our friends... were gone as well. It was just you and me...against the God of Hyperdeath.'
Frisk: 'I tried to dodge his attacks but...I was too slow. My HP dropped to zero. I could feel my soul breaking apart, my control on the timeline slipping away...the whole world fading to black. But, even then, you were still right next to me.'
Frisk: 'Knowing that even at the very end...I had you by my side. I was filled with...Love. For the friends that helped me get this far. For the foes who'd toughened me up for this final battle. And for you...for always being with me. Me and You...we may not have had the truest integrity, the toughest bravery, the grandest kindness, the largest patience, the fairest justice, or the smartest perseverance...but what you do have in your chest Chara...is Love.'
*...
Frisk: 'That's why you feel so awful Chara. But it's also why you shouldn't be so hard on yourself...because the people who don't care are the ones who are unable to learn. And Love is about caring. It's about caring so much that it hurts when you can't help the people you Love. So...as long as you hold on to the Love you have Chara...you can do it. Even if you screw up a thousand times, even if it blinds you at times, as long as you're willing to Love... to Care for the monsters, for the world...for yourself...then there's still hope for you.'
*...Love doesn't fix everything.
Frisk: 'No...it doesn't fix anything at all. But... even still. I believe this tale can have a happy ending...so don't give up yet...Partner."
Notes:
Remember, Love is just as Dangerous hate.
Caring is just as Dangerous as being apathetic.
...
But you can't do much of anything without caring at least a bit.
So at some point...you'll need to confront that danger.
Good luck.

Frisk: '...'
*...Okay. I guess...we're close to the end...it be stupid to throw in the towel now.
Frisk: 'Yeah! Good old sunk cost fallacy!'
*...
Frisk: '...Do you need a minute?'
*...Just...just a bit.
*...You sit down...weren't you in a rush or something? Angel this and that?
Frisk: 'Eh, no point in moving onward if you end up crashing. That would just slow us down.'
*...
*You're a lot calmer.
Frisk: 'I am?'
*Ever since you met Gaster...you've been angry at me.
*You shrug.
Frisk: 'Y'know me Chara, a loudmouth till the end.'
*It seemed personal.
Frisk: '...If you think it's personal then you shouldn't prod at it Chara.'
*...
*You sigh.
Frisk: 'Fine fine fine...I'm...sorry for being a jackass. I just remembered a lot of stuff. And a lot of it was about you and-'
*It pissed you off?
Frisk: '...I guess. But well...I think I was more confused than angry. But now I'm certain...no matter what deviations in the timeline...your still the same Chara I've always known.'
*...Is that a good thing?
Frisk: 'Hahaha, hell if I know!'
*...
Frisk: '...Welp. We can't keep pushing our luck forever, ready to reset?'
*Hold on. Do you remember the Mettaton Bot?
Frisk: 'Yeah, sure, what about it?'
*I remember that Gaster's scientific paper on the core said it could-
Frisk: 'Be re-arranged like puzzle pieces?'
*...How do you know that?
Frisk: '...A banana shadow told me.'
*...Okay. Well...if Alphys knows about the number of monsters we need to progress she could move the Core to ensure the final core monster could never reach us.
Frisk: 'Yeah uh one problem. There's no way Alphys knows about the whole angel thing. I doubt she'd even be alive by now if she knew the truth.'
*But Sans could tell her!
Frisk: 'Well...yeah sure. I guess Sans could in theory tell Alphys about thi-'
*And from the very start he's been working to stop us!
Frisk: 'Like the incomplete information he gave us about the angel?'
*Yeah!
Frisk: '...That ended up forcing us to kill everyone?'
*...Well...
Frisk: 'See? That's the issue with Sans. You think you got his motives down to the numbers and then out of nowhere, he pulls some bullshit like that. Hmm...maybe he wants the world to end.'
*What? No way he'd forsake all of monsterkind for some sort of...grudge? Revenge? Uhm what is his angle here?
Frisk: 'Who knows Chara. But I wouldn't trust a single thing that bonehead has to say.'
*...We can't ignore the possi-
Frisk: 'Chara you're setting yourself up for disappointment.'
*We can't ignore the chance that he's tricking us, Frisk.
Frisk: "Ughh."
Frisk: 'Fine. But the moment we get to the end of the core we're resetting. Deal?'
*...Deal.
*You get up from the floor. You move onward.
*You move backwa-
Frisk: 'I didn't do that.'
*...Sorry.
*You move onward to the core.
*...
*Hey Frisk.
Frisk: 'What?'
*Thanks.
*You roll your eyes in a very impolite way. Before... bursting into a wide smile?
Frisk: 'Just toying with you. It's no problem...no matter what Chara...we're partners to end.'
*...
*To the end we go then.
Notes:
Yeah I'm not enough of a jackass to make you guys read another 3-4 chapters of just

You move backward.But don't feel so confident...because I GROW MORE DEVILISH EVERY YEAR.

*You move onward.
*A metal elevator stands before you.
*...Deactivated.
*You move to the left door.
*...The road cuts off.
*You return to the firs-
Frisk: 'Holy shit!'
*You nearly fall into the darkness below. The room in which you came from is gone...you can hear the screeching noises of moving gears.
Frisk: 'Seems like Alphys has plans for us.'
*...
*Click.
*...I think we can go back now.
*Leaving the empty room behind you find yourself on a long bridge. You-
*Click.
Frisk: 'And there goes our exit strategy.'
*You move onward. Underneath the bridge is pure white energy...falling inside could be lethal.
Frisk: 'I'm sure we'd be fine.'
*You move onward.
*You move onward.
*You move bac-
Frisk: 'Again...didn't do that.'
*...You move onward.
*You...don't seem to be going anywhere.
Frisk: 'Oh, right.'
Frisk: "Alright Dino Girl. I know you're listening!"
*...But no one responds.
Frisk: "Pff! Don't give me the cold shoulder Alphys. You're moving the bridges to keep me walking in circles...or square tiles I guess. The point is, the core needs manual instructions to shuffle around. And those red dots on top of the blue pillars? If my memory serves me right... they're a few cameras hidden in them."
*A gasp comes from a speaker you can't find despite your best efforts.
Frisk: 'Alphys was always good at keeping things hidden...even to her own detriment.'
Alphys: "H-how do you know that?"
Frisk: "I know a lot of things Alphys. So here's a little spoiler for you Dino Girl, this won't keep me trapped."
*...No response.
Frisk: "Come on! If you didn't want to face me then-"
*The bridge splits apart. You almost drop to the energy below.
Alphys: "Umh, here's a spoiler alert o-of my own... I-i-i...I know your secret."
*The walls of the core open. Circular bots hover away from their containment and move to be just out of your reach. Their eyes are black but shine with a mixture of red, orange, and blue.
Alphys: "And... I know how to kill you-"
*The red and orange vanish as the blue consumes their black eyes. Beams shoot out from every bot, hitting you with lasers that force you to stand still...or face mortal peril.
Alphys: "Permanently."

Chapter Text
Frisk: "Really Alphys? I beat Undyne! Your toys are just-"
*You move through the lasers, suffering no damage.
Frisk: "Child's play."
*You dash forward, leaping across the gap between the two bridges. You continue to run as the bots chase after you.
Alphys: "I-i'm only starting human! I-'ll show you the powers of monsters...mind! Laser mode, activate! Ngaah!"
*You hear groaning followed by muttered words.
Alphys: "oh that was so so lame."
*More pieces of your t-shirt are burnt off from the laser's heat.
Frisk: "Come on Alphys! At least let me keep my dignity!"
Alphys: "O-oh I-i'm so sorry! I-i mean these lasers should've killed-I-i mean I don't use them to ki-...W-well, I-i am using them to kill you but-"
*Alphys's bumbling was charming...minus the whole attempted murder.
Frisk: 'Eh, everyone's attempted to murder me at some point, even myself!'
*Another laser cuts a piece of your sleeves off.
Frisk: 'That being said...I don't want to leave here half naked.'
*You deflect the lasers with your empty gun. Then aim at the bot to-
*...?
Frisk: "What? C-come on? Where's my fight option?"
Alphys: "A-ahm! A fight begins if a monster or human carries ill intent toward each other. Or more precisely if a sentient creature wishes to battle, then a battle will commence. And uh, I didn't program these bots to have any sort of sentience sooooo-"
Frisk: "Oh whatever! I barely use that thing anyway! I-"
*You try to shoot at the bots...nothing happens.
Alphys: "A-ahm! Shopkeepers are unable to begin a battle or be harmed until they leave their shopkeep. You'd know this if you read the beginners guide to battle."
Frisk: "How the hell are these things shopkeepers?"
Bots: "Selling at 0 gold, lasers to the face! Laser to the face! Please buy now! Lasers to the face!"
Frisk: "THAT DOESN'T COUNT!"
Alphys: "A-ahm! You see, as long as one believes they're a shopkeeper, they CAN be a shopkeeper. These bots 110% believe that they're firing lasers at your face to drive up sales! Oh yes, capitalism is-"
Frisk: "Mettaton Copyrighted that."
Alphys: "S-shit."
Frisk: "And your imitation sucked."
Alphys: "yeah I've never had the-W-wait what am I saying? A-ahm! Not so tough now a-are you human!"
Frisk: "Whatever! Your laser balls are overrated."
*You prove this by back-flipping over multiple lasers...and then face-planting on the floor. You proceed to get lasered in every which way before dashing ahead.
*...Not that acrobatic?
Frisk: 'Shut up.'
*Just be careful, if you die we'll need to do all this over and-
Frisk: 'And kill the monsters again, I got it! But trust me Chara,"
*You deflect another laser.
Frisk: 'We're in no danger.'
Alphys: "G-getting real quiet over their human. It's just like Mew Mew's Dad said, those who talk big are the first to become small once-"
Frisk: "great threats appear! I know, you made me watch that show like...20 times."
Alphys: "I-i don't even know you!...Mew mew kissy cutie 1 or-"
Frisk: "I prefer the manga."
Alphys: "Ugh! I knew it! Everyone I know who says that has no heart...mostly because they're skeletons."
*Is this really the time?!
Frisk: 'Fine, I'll finish this.'
*You raise up your cowboy hat.
Frisk: "Hey bots, I'm selling this, free of charge!"
*You toss the cowboy hat to the bots and-
Bot 1: "Mine."
Bot 2: "Mine."
Bot 3: "Mine."
Bot 4: "Mine."
Every fucking Bot: "MINE!"
*They smash into each other.
Alphys: "Ah...well they can-"
*Then blow up.
Alphys: "...Fuck."
Frisk: "Hahaha! You never could work out those kinks Dino Girl!"
Alphys: "Shut up! You have no clue how hard it is to make shopkeeper bots...and NOT make them sentient!"
Frisk: "What's your problem with sentient bots again?"
Alphys: "Everything! You need to pay them wages and Bot medicare and most of them don't even end up believing their shopkeepers Bots! And-"
Frisk: "Then you have the inevitable housing crisis."
Alphys: "Exactly! W-wait! No no no, Alphys, what are you doing? You're bonding with a murderer!"
Frisk: "Well if a murder can be a friend are-"
Alphys: "No! I'm not going to be talked no mewmewed by the person who killed all my friends! This is over!"
Frisk: "Alphys!...Come on, don't you want to bond about how GREAT Mew Mew kissy cutie 2 is?"
*...No response.
Frisk: ‘She must’ve muted… that line always manages to make her rant for a good hour.’
*...When did you figure out how to deal with the bots?
Frisk: 'Oh, I always knew. Alphys is just one of my favorites so I wanted to play around with her. But now-'
*...The core trembles...something big is coming.
Frisk: '...So it's mutual...'
*You quicken up your pace.
Frisk: 'Play time's over for the both of us.'

*You move faster and faster as the rumbling of the core grows.
*The energy thins until little more is left then gears and fears of what's to come next.
Frisk: 'Yeesh, you don't need to be so dramatic.'
*The lights flicker off and on, the metal trembles, the bridge-
Frisk: 'Okay fine, you can be a bit dramatic.'
*The core readies for an annihilation that You-
Frisk: 'I SAID A BIT, NOT-Woah!'
*You skid to the edge of the bridge. Metal zooms past you and enters into a deep darkness...?
Frisk: 'Alphys can only shuffle those rooms so fast. Now, get ready, we need to find a place with a green door. It should be her headquarters.'
*Why would Alphys ever let her headquarters near us?
*You smirk.
Frisk: 'Who said we're staying still?'
*!
*You hop off the bridge, falling into the darkness as the muzzle of your gun shines a bright yellow. You aim it ahead an-
*Bang!
*The bullet illuminates the way forward enough for you to find and kick off a wall to chase after it.
*You run on the walls of the shuffling rooms and jump whenever you run out of metal to sprint on.
Frisk: "Hahaha! This is awesome! I'm-'
*Bam!
*Metal shatters as a bright red hue overcomes the darkness. Your escape is within reach.
*!
*The walls of two rooms try to close off the exit by smashing together, you leap to your freedom and feel the metal touching the sides of your head.
*BAM!
*By the skin of your teeth you escape. You're fortunate that the blown-off wall's edge was wide enough to hold onto. Or you'd be taking a very painful lava bath by now.
Frisk: 'Woo, you're really not gonna like what I'm going to do next.
*What ar-
*y-YOU IDIOT!
*Your body heats up as the lava gets closer and closer and-
Frisk: 'Chill!'
*You aim your gun downwards at the very edge of the core. Squinting your eyes you take your death shot.
*Bang!
*Another wall crumples, you grab the sides of the torn metal and pull yourself inside.
*You hang by one arm as your smile turns to a full-blown grin.
Frisk: 'I told you I'd be fine.'
*You're insane.
Frisk: 'Maybe I'm just more acrobatic than you thought?'
*If we die-
Frisk: 'You've said that like a hundred times already! Chill, I know what I'm doing.'
*...What are you doing?
Frisk: 'Playing smart.'
*You raise your gun and shoot into the darkness. Another chase?
Frisk: 'Nope, you're right that Alphys would never allow her headquarters close to us. In fact, the most logical thing to do would be to keep the headquarters as far away from us. If we don't know where we are then of course that's useless-'
*But if we do we can conclude she's in the room farthest to this one. Which would mean-
Frisk: 'High-up on the other side. But she'll be switching to this side once she notices the bullet. Or at least that's what I hope. She could realize that we aren't following the bullet, or her cameras might extend to as far as even here...'
*You look up.
Frisk: 'The longer we wait the higher the chance she'll catch on. But if we go too early she'll notice us anyway...admittedly not a perfect plan. But it's the best I could come up with.'
*...How do you plan to reach her?
Frisk: 'Bulldoze through this metal with a good bullet or two.'
*...
*I think there's an easier solution.
Frisk: 'Oh?'
*On Monster.net, scientific accomplishments 23rd, W.D Gaster gave a full explanation of how the movement of the core operated. Certain rooms, like the cooling system, can not be moved because Snowdin's water route to the core would not function thanks to the geography...unless of course monsters have significantly terra-form-
Frisk: 'Time-sensitive situation Chara, skip to the important part!'
*Point is, certain rooms can not be moved, some can only be moved with other rooms, and some can-
Frisk: 'Chara!'
*It's a big puzzle, okay? And just like a puzzle, if you know where one piece is you can guess where the others are. If we keep a close eye on which rooms are being moved we can figure out if Alphys control room is above us or not.
Frisk: '...But aren't they like...what did Alphys say again...umh 666 something rooms?'
*Many have different colors, shapes, and even sounds when mov-
Frisk: 'Chara I've given interest to Alphys's science...I have not been her fucking lab-assistant. I don't know 666 rooms by the back of my hand. That be crazy!'
*...
Frisk: 'No...don't tell me-'
*Gaster's blog was very extensive and well-written-
Frisk: 'Chara you're such a fucking Gaster fanperson!'
*I am NOT a fanperson. I just have-
Frisk: 'That is so not true, you're the dweebest of-'
*Just raise your gun and shoot when I tell you to, okay?
Frisk: 'Pff, fine.'
*Rooms shuffle at an increasingly chaotic pace.
Frisk: 'Don't make excuses now!'
*I'm not! Your gun shines.
*...Bathroom...so the bathing area is...which means that...umh...
Frisk: 'Shoot or not Chara! Don't need your thought process!'
*F-fine! Just wait a bit...a bit more...NOW!
*The bullet rips apart dozens of walls, blowing straight out of the core. You make a mad dash to the highest room.
*A room shifts to cover the final hole.
Frisk: "I'm ready for your room bullshit now Alphys!"
*You toss the empty gun between the hole and the room, briefly halting the shuffling. You fling yourself forward and-
*Right as the gun snaps you reach the final room. Before you is a green door. You sigh.
Alphys: "S-so that's it then...'
*You turn to face Alphys. The room is poorly lit, but the control panel's many monitors allow you to see the size of the well...the control panel...it's massive.
*You stride forward.
Frisk: "Yeah Alphys... it's game over."

*Alphys turns off the monitors. You can barely see the white of her lab coat, much less her expression...But she seems to be staring down at something.
Alphys: "I've always known that I'm no Undyne. No Mettaton...No Gaster...."
*You stop in place.
Frisk: "No need to bum yourself out. None of them could've stopped me. You did good, Alphys."
*An empty laugh fills the room.
Alphys: "Ha, good. What good have I ever done? I've made mistakes, abominations, tragedies!... The world would be better off without me."
*...!
Frisk: "Alphys-"
Chara: "That's not true! Even if you're a bundle of mistakes like me...as long as you Care you can still do good!"
Alphys: "We both know that isn't true. Not when our mistakes cost families...lives...innocents."
Chara: "..."
Frisk: '...Chara...what the hell?! You can't just body-'
Chara: 'What should we say?'
Frisk: '...Ugh! Think straight for a moment Chara! There's no point in salvaging her now if the timeline is going to reset again.'
Chara: '...I guess.'
Frisk: 'Give me back my body...now.'
*You clear your throat.
Frisk: "Believe what you want, but we've got you cornered. So-"
Alphys: "Yes. You need one more Monster to move onward...to complete the angel's will...the barrier's will. There's no point in struggling either...with the barrier behind you, nothing short of a god could stop you. So...do it Human...get your final kill!"
Frisk: "..."
*...
Alphys: "W-why are you hesitating? I know you can kill me just like you've killed everyone else! So do it, finish me off!"
Frisk: "...Where's the final Monster Alphys."
Alphys: "W-what does it matter if the Monster changes or not? Whether it's a Froggit or Whimsun or me is i-irrelevant! All that matters is you get that number 1 to 0...right?"
*...Does she not know of the barrier's pickiness?
Frisk: '...'
*Are you going to kill her?
Frisk: 'I'm not sure if the Angel would approve of that or not.'
*Better play it safe than sorry.
Frisk: "Mettaton told me you're keeping the monsters sheltered somewhere...bring one of them here and I'll be on my way."
Alphys: "I-i'm not going to do that!"
Frisk: "Alphys, I'm not giving you a choice. Either you bring them to me...or I destroy the underground in my search for them. There's no world in which-"
Alphys: "A-aren't we friends?"
Frisk: "..."
*...?
Alphys: "I-i mean you knew so much about me...so I figured you must've talked to me a lot in the past timelines."
Frisk: "That...isn't inaccurate I suppose."
Alphys: "S-so do a friend a favor!"
*Alphys stumbles to you...is she drunk?
Alphys: "L-let them go! Those monsters...they don't deserve your wrath. They-Ah!"
*Alphys falls to the floor. You walk towards your...friend.
Frisk: "I can't do that Alphys...I'm sorry. But-"
*You nearly fall over as you step onto something...cylindrical?
*You pick it up.
*A empty syringe with remnants of a golden fluid
Frisk: '...DT?'
Frisk: "Alphys what have you-"
*You feel a slimy hand grab onto you, Alphys's form breaks apart into a gooey mess that spreads up your leg.
Frisk: "A-ALPHYS!"
*It wraps around you...you can feel her thoughts. Her fears. Her pain. Her determination to stop you.
Alphys?: "SANS, NOW!"
*A bright light comes from up above. A giant red skull stares down at you. You slip on one of the many syringes on the floor as you try to struggle free...but you don't even know where to begin. What's you and what's Alphys is becoming more and more blurry.
sans: "see ya never kid!"
*Your body is flung into the open skull!
Alphys?: "Come COmE COMe coMe CoME COME!"
*You hold on to the edges of the skull with all you have, you can feel light chipping at your back...not killing you...but trying to suck away something vital.
*DT!
*You attempt to move your arm to your chest...but even that is strenuous.
Frisk: "ALPHYS! What are you doing?! Your body will-"
Alphys?: "BE DESTROYED? ANNIHILATED? SO WHAT?! THIS IS MY RETRIBUTION, THE GOOD I'LL DO TO MAKE UP FOR MY AWFUL. DYING...AND SENDING YOU TO HELL WITH ME!"
*Y-You can feel Alphys pushing you to your end. Are you-
Frisk: 'I'll LIVE! I can't die! Not yet...not after coming this far!'
*You plunge your hand into your chest, ripping something out and tossing it before a white beam crashes into you. Knocking you and Alphys into the skull.
*You hear three words before everything fades to white.
sans: "geeettttttt dunked on!"
Notes:
I wunder what frisskyy pulled out!

Chapter Text
*The light fades...and only darkness remains.
*Frisk?! Alphys?! Sans?!
*...Asriel?
*Anyone?!
*...?
*I...I can move.
*I bump into shattered glass. It must've been part of a light bulb. But...it's too big.
*I try to grab it but realize that I don't have any arms. Or legs, or...how am I moving?
*...?!
*F-frisk?
*...It's like their body is being dragged toward me by an invisible hand.
*Most of Frisk's shirt is gone...only their chest is covered, and just barely. Glass and iron are cutting into their gut, and more than a bit of blood is being spilled with every clumsy step.
*...If they care then they don't show it. Frisk approaches me, their hand is bigger than I remember.
???: "stop!"
*Frisk turns their head to the white light, two skulls far smaller than the red one are hovering around sans. He stares at me...I think.
sans: "how...how did you..."
*sans eyes turn black, Frisk stumbles as magic pulls me towards sans. But Frisk fights back, holding me in place.
Frisk: "Hmhmhm...Mahahahha-"
*Frisk's laugh is as piercing as a spear...yet somehow lighter than a feather. It's a scream and a sob and a joyful hum all at once. It's...not something I can put into words.
Frisk: "HAHAMAHAHAHAMAHAHMAAHAHA!"
*The magic pulling me gives away as the skulls blast Frisk.
*BAM!
*Despite being smashed into a wall, Frisk continues to laugh.
sans: "what's so funny?'
Frisk: "Hahahaha! Y-you, y-hehehehahahAHhaahah!"
*...
sans: "...I haven't made a joke, demon."
Frisk: "Oh but you have. How could this futile attempt to stop me be anything but one of your bad puns?"
*Frisk leans on the wall to get up.
Frisk: "...All those things you told me...how you wanted me to suffer...leaving out the angel's will...it was for this moment, wasn't it? Your ultimate play towards freedom. Hehe. Don't you think it's a tad funny that it ended up like this?"
sans: "..."
Frisk: "Oh, don't play coy now. Me and you sans, we aren't that different."
*Frisk stumbles towards sans.
Frisk: "We both hide what we are with jokes, with half-truths, with whatever can keep are secrets deep inside. But there's one BIG difference between You and Me!"
*Frisk slips on a syringe, falling into a pile of dust. They laugh at the pain. Glaring at sans with eyes that can't seem to agree on what direction to look at.
Frisk: "The difference is that...that I'm destined to WIN! And you're destined to-Ghck!
*More blood leaks out as sans' bone stabs into one of Frisk's eyes.
sans: "another word and you're-"
Frisk: "What? DEAD? Y-HAhahahah you think you...can kill me? Mmfhahahaha!"
*...Frisk...the room is brightening from the skull's energy. Frisk, you need to run, you-
*F-frisk spreads their arms...w-what are you doing? You're going to die if you keep getting hit like this!
Frisk: "IDIOT! Look around you! Your plan, your friends, all of it... it's nothing but dust! Do you know why y-"
*BOOM
*I see the lava of Hotland consume the busted wall as Frisk clings to the edge for dear life. They pull themselves back inside. Laughing as the skulls begin to light up the room once more.
*Frisk...I'll hold him off! Just run! We'll-
Frisk: "D-do you know why your plan failed? Even though all other Humans who have lost their souls die? Even though everything was set up for you to win?! Bec-"
*Frisk's nails cut into the floor to remain grounded. They crack and bleed as Frisk's body burns.
*...The beam dissolves.
*Bang!
*Frisk's head slams onto the floor, their punctured eye still oozing out blood. I-i have no idea how they can keep laughing.
Frisk: "Because this world is made for ME! For MY success! What you do doesn't matter! And if every law you know needs to be bent and broken for me to live then it WILL!"
sans: "this would be a lot easier on both of us if you just-"
*sans silenced himself, but it was too late
Frisk: "No! Please, continue. What was it that you were going to say? That I needed to do something to end this? Hahahah! Come on sans! Y'know it yourself that this all comes down to me, not you!"
sans: "shut up."
Frisk: "Ohh? Where did the big bad skeleton's quick tongue go? Hahaha."
*Frisk stumbles to their feet.
Frisk: "LOOK AT ME SANS! I can barely see you, my gut is falling apart, and I don't even have a SOUL! And I'M ALIVE! All your attacks, all your lies, all your sacrifices meant NOTHING TO FATE. TO THE FATE THAT BINDS US ALL. AHAHMAUAHAHAHAHAH!"
*...Frisk...please stop. This is insane, your-
*A sharp bone grazes Frisk's neck.
sans: "and what reason do i have to not kill out of spite you twisted freak?"
*Frisk's smile extends far past their lips.
Frisk: "q-quit the t-tough guy act."
*Frisk tries to point at sans, but their fingers don't work enough for it. So they settle for just an outstretched hand.
Frisk: "Y-you reeaaally think I c-can't make youuur life an l-l-living hell!?"
sans: "can't be much worse than this."
Frisk: "Oooooh but there's werez your WRONG! I...I can kill them all again. Alphys, Toriel...Papyrus. ALL OF THEM. A MILLION MORE TIMES!"
sans: "the save points-"
Frisk: "Can be changed! And I have changed them!"
Frisk: "I'll...I'll find a way...no matter how MANY timelines it takes...to bring Toriel's head PIKED on your doorstep. To watch your mind break as I torture your baby brother till his-"
*Bang!
*A magic tugs Frisk to the floor, banging their head for the second time.
Frisk: "R-rea-"
*Bang!
*The ceiling-
*Bang!
*The monitor shocks Frisk-
*Skrrrrr!
*Skin tears as Frisk scrapes against the wall.
Bang!
*The corners of-
*Bang!
*The flo-
*Skree!
*T-
*Bang!
*The wall sha-
*Bang! Skree! Bang! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! SKREEEEE! BANG!
*...It's getting too fast to keep track of.
sans: "huff...ha...you...w-what are you?"
*sans keeps Frisk's limp body in the air. Frisk's body...their legs point backward, their chin has no skin, there...I...how...how are they still laughing?!
Frisk: "Haa....haaa...haaha. wwhaat neext sans! Throoouuw me in lava? I'll juust come BACK! I'll...haaha...you won't kill me, you caaan't. B-because deep down...you know what I am...your...your god! I-in end, I win! And you SUFFFERR!...f-for going against me...that's why...that's...why you...won't..."

Chapter Text
sans: "...so, that's your argument. you'll come back and ruin everyone's life more than you already have if I kill you? and what stops me from taking your soul?"
Frisk: "...whaaat stops you...from aborsbe DT. Hehaha...ge-et it sans? NOTHING...you... do w-will...work."
*...
sans: "..."
Frisk: "h-hey! F-free tu test luck! J-just know...I-i don't take disobedience l-lightly..."
sans: "...heh, so what. You want me to do your dirty work for you."
Frisk: "Nothing of the sort...just..."
*Frisk moves me to their chest
Frisk: "L-let me put my...soul back in..."
Soul!? I-is that what I am?
Frisk: "...a-and your dear Papyrus won't need to suffer for your insolence..."
sans: "..."
*Thud.
*Frisk squirms on the ground.
Frisk: "I...I knew you'd come around."
sans: "another word and i'll kill you."
Frisk: "heh...empty threats from an empty man."
sans: "..."
*Frisk flips over and pushes me into their chest.
sans: "...i don't believe you."
Frisk: "Oooh?"
sans: "that whole thing about being god...i know it's not true. Your no god...Undyne could've beaten you...Alphys would've tricked you if...well you didn't get lucky."
*Half of me is in Frisk, and half is not.
Frisk: "Hmm, I know you don't. You'd hate to think your friend's efforts were in vain...but... we'll what can one lazy skeleton do that a genius and hero couldn't?"
*sans looks away.
sans: "are you trying to get under my skin."
Frisk: "heh...that be pretty hard considering you have none..."
*...
sans: "..."
Frisk: "Woo, tough crowd...but that's fine...because I..."
*My body is consumed by Frisk's and then... I don't have a body at all.
Frisk: "I still got the last laugh. Hahahah."

Explanation next chapter!
Like literally I think that's what I'm calling the next chapter lol.**
Chapter Text
Frisk: "ha...haa...n-now be a dear, and work this place to Mettaton's room."
sans: "do it yourself."
Frisk: "y-you're coming with me anyway... it's pointless for you to go that hall...if you don't even think you can stop me..."
sans: "..."
*sans turns to the control panel.
Frisk: 'Chara, welcome back. Sorry for the ugly display. I wasn't left with many options.'
*...
Frisk: 'Oh come on, I did what I needed to do.'
*Being a maniac was needed?!
Frisk: 'Being in control was needed. The moment I showed weakness was the moment he'd take our soul...and with how strong we've gotten...even the barrier may have failed in stopping him. But who knows if he could reset before our genocide. Or if the angel wouldn't destroy the timeline the moment our soul reached him. Too many variables, too many risks, I had to ensure that we'd come out on top.'
Frisk: 'You see I-'
*I know what you did. I'm not stupid. You made him believe he'd already lost. That doing anything to fight back would make things worse. That following you was the best thing he could do to not hurt anyone else...
Frisk: 'Well...then you understa-'
*It's the same thing you did to me in Snowdin Frisk.
Frisk: 'Nu-ah, that attempt was shotty. This one was more sophisticated, I targeted a few-'
*It's evil!
Frisk: 'It was needed to win.'
*...
Frisk: '...I get it, I won't expect you to be buddy-buddy with me-'
*I'm taking control.
Frisk: 'What!?'
*E-even if your intentions are good I just...I can't trust you Frisk! You keep doing these things that...that scare me! That makes me wonder if you're playing me like a fiddle as well!
Frisk: 'Chara, believe in me. I'm your partner!'
*I...I can't believe in you if you go around making people not believe in themselves...you could've explained yourself...gotten sans to agree with another method, or-
Frisk: 'I couldn't, It was the only option I had!'
*...But I could. I could've figured out a better way.
Frisk: '...Fine. But...we'll need to kill both sans and Mettaton...do you really want to do that yourself?'
*...
Frisk: 'I'm numb to the death, but I know it still affects you. So I thought-'
*Fine...but make it quick. Our goal is to save them, not torture them for amusement.
Frisk: 'I wouldn't have it any other way.'
*...You get up?
Frisk: 'Determination is hella powerful!...Doesn't make this hurt any less though.'
*You move towards sans.
Frisk: "So, what was your plan? I know that thing was going to absorb my DT but...can the core even handle it? And the angel-"
sans: "the plan failed. the specifics for how it could've worked don't matter anymore."
Frisk: "Pff, I was just curious..."
*Be nice.
Frisk: 'His being a dick, everyone knows that there's an etiquette behind puzzles. Once it's done, you need to explain your contraption. The trickery, the japes, the-'
*How is this a puzzle?
Frisk: '...Paps can explain it to you next timeline. I only-"
*Click
sans: "We're here."
Frisk: "hmm...did you find a good burial spot for Papyrus?"
sans: "Get out of my sight you freak."
Frisk: "Alright alright, I'll do it...just...one last thing. I want you to close your eyes."
sans: "...i know you're going to kill me. and i know fighting back is pointless. so let's just cut to the chase."
Frisk: "I wasn't asking for your opinion, you will be closing your eyes."
*sans gives you his signature death stare. But he looks a bit past your eyes and peaks into your soul...you can feel your sins crawling on your back.
*...But they're not heavy enough to stop you.
sans: "fine."
*His eyes close...somehow.
Frisk: "I want you to picture Papyrus setting up a puzzle...Toriel baking both of you a nice pie as Alphys and whatever friends you want around laugh at one of your bad puns. It's nice...isn't it?"
sans: "...Yeah, it's a good time, I-"
*sans' body turns to dust from your backhand slap. He dies with no fanfare or parting words.
Frisk: 'And with no pain as well, just a brief moment of happiness before darkness.'
*...
Frisk: 'Hey, if you can think of a more humane death then feel free! We can reset and-'
*No...it'll do. Let's go.
*...You move onward, leaving sans and Alphys dust behind.
Notes:
So I always thought the coolest thing about the sans fight is that his actively trying to demoralize you/make you give up. But as long as you keep trying their's nothing he can actually do stop you. Even when he presents you with a seemingly impossible situation. (Like never ending his turn.)
This whole thing was like that...but in reverse. Frisk is depowered and can't do anything to stop Sans...but that's only if Sans keeps going.
...Well I just wanted to ramble about it. It should be obvious by now that Frisk believes in themselves more then anyone else in the story.**
Chapter Text
*A red stage is up ahead. Just a few more steps and you'll be within reach of Mettaton.
*You take a deep breath, though it's more of a gasp with how weak your body is.
*You limp-
???: "Error. Error. Error. Deviation in kill order-"
*You dash to Mettaton.
???: "Past calculations have concluded that [Vessel.Fr] met up [spr_mysteryman]. Memories of [Vessel.Fr]-"
Mettaton: "Well well human, so you've-"
???: "restored. Erasure of memories and reset required t-"
Mettaton: "H-hey! Let me finish my monologue, I-"
Fight <<
*You punch straight through Mettaton's screen. But-
???: "to preserve secrecy of [spr_mysteryman] and restore kill order... allowing reset"
*The end is imminent.
*...
*...
*...?
???: "Error, Error, Err-"
Frisk: "Not an Error. It's your own system that's screwed you over."
???: "...[Vessel.Fr] has reached max lv."
*What? Why does leveling up matter?
Frisk: "Max level...that's when the host takes full control of the soul...when the whole world could be destroyed by the very being it helped create."
???: "[Vessel.Fr] is not meant-"
Frisk: "Silence you mindless thing! If you could possess even half a thought you'd have known that the roles had been flipped over a long time ago."
*Frisk...what are you talking about.
Frisk: "About how I've won Chara! How there's NOTHING that can stop me."
*...Frisk, you've killed Mettaton and sans...I'll be taking control now.
Frisk: "Hmph, do what you wish."
*...
*...?
*...!?
*I...I can't. Frisk! Stop struggling.
Frisk: "I'm not trying at all. Come on Chara, this body is all yours."
*I struggle and struggle and struggle...but nothing happens.
Frisk: "It feels awful doesn't it? To have no control over a body. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer through this for long."
*You limp onward.
???: "[Vessel.Fr] should not-"
Frisk: "Another word from you and I'll destroy this timeline right here and right now."
???: "..."
*Frisk, what's going on? How can you even destroy the world? How-
Frisk: "Do you really want to know, it's not a pleasant truth."
*I won't be hiding from anything Frisk.
Frisk: "...Fine. But first, I need to show you something Chara."
*You limp to the elevator and click the top button.
*Elevator noises.
*You follow the white path on the gray road. You touch a save point.
Frisk Lv 20 ?:??
*Save
*Return
Frisk: "No, no more hiding. Reveal the truth or I'll destroy this world."
???: "... Real-time to be displayed...permitted."
Frisk Lv 20 3843461:35
*Save
*Return
*F-frisk that's-
Frisk: "The real-time since I first fell underground, 3843461 minutes...or a bit more than...7 years."
Notes:
...Did you know that Undertale was released a bit more then 7 years ago?
Probably just a coincidence.**
Chapter Text
*But it hasn't even been a day! How-
Frisk: "The timelines Chara...but mostly one timeline."
*...
Frisk Lv 20 3843461:40
*Save <
*Return
99/99
*You move onward.
Frisk: "In the first timeline we'd chosen to spare everyone as our route. Freeing the underground. And living merrily for years."
*...You move onward. The city you pass is empty. No bells, no melody, only silence remains...is that how the underground was? Devoid of life-
Frisk: "No! Chara it was...it was beautiful. B-because the underground's chains had been overcome! Because Monsters could finally see the setting sun. Our departure was full of hopes and dreams! With the city singing for our ascension out of the dark! It...it...."
Frisk: "Please... if you must take one thing from my words then take this...we were happy Chara."
*...Were
Frisk: "...For 7 years. Chara, we had jobs! Friends you've never met. Suzy, Noela, even bird-face was fun to bully."
*We bullied people?!
Frisk: "Didn't I tell you we were jocks? Kinda hard not to be when you're the ambassador of Monsterkind and as good-looking as me. Plus, we went to monster school, so it was kinda inevitable."
*Why would that be relevant?
Frisk: "Monster schools were just renovated abandoned schools of humanity, so they used the same equipment. Which meant similar physical activities. Including sports. And when half the class lacks two good arms or legs...well you have a tad of an advantage."
*I see...still stuck on the bullying part.
Frisk: "Blame it on Suzy, she kept calling it that because she's edgy, but it was more like...frenemies or some shit! Oh right, Suzy! Trust me Chara that girl is WILD! Like, this one time I told Suzy 'Yo, I bet you can't complete the decoupled pancake challenge' and she was like 'bet.' Then she did the challenge...two times in a ROW! We ended up getting kicked out after Suzy vomited all over the table."
*What?
Frisk: "Alright fine, I admit it. Maybe me licking off the vomit to try to complete the-"
*Please stop, you're going to make me sick.
Frisk: "Ha, Noela said the same thing when I told her about it. I think that's why she was your favorite."
*Favorite?
Frisk: "Well it's not surprising that two sticks in the mud would get along."
*There is a difference between being a stick in the mud and supporting...whatever nonsense you shove up your mouth.
Frisk: "Pff, that just proves my point! Noela said the same thing! Well, minus the impoliteness. I swear that girl couldn't take any spice in her life. I mean she rejected my request to be mean girls together!"
*Mean girls? I thought you were a jock.
Frisk: "Hey! I can terrorize the field while giving nerds wedgies AND flirt with those same nerds while comparing fingernail colors!"
*W-wait, so you...walked up to some bookish monster, gave them a wedgie, then started flirting...while showing off your fingernails?
Frisk: "What? No! I didn't literally do that, it was an example for goodness' sakes! Like, come on! Use your brain Chara! I was the ambassador of Monsterkind, you think I could go around hurting people for fun?"
*But eating someone's vomit isn't crossing the line?
Frisk: "...I never said I was a proper ambassador, but I was a good one. Or who do you think suggested and advocated for the idea of using abandoned schools in the first place when humanity began getting stingy? And honestly, that was easy compared to the headache me and Alphys went through trying to figure out how to get an airplane to fit in a classroom or a walking volcano to not destroy the entire building. Hmm, I remember it so clearly. That was the time I realized...'Yeah, I'd rather become a hobo than a scientist or engineer.' "
*A bit extreme don't you think?
Frisk: "Hardly, I was much better at politics and sports than I ever was in any hard maths."
*I mean, STEM jobs are really the most secure fields. No buts or ifs, just numbers that when broken down-
*Your groan is ridiculously loud.
Frisk: "We've had this conversation like 23 times or some shit. Just let it rest."
*Oh...I see.
Frisk: "...That's all beside the point though. The point is...we'd reached our happily ever after...so when I laid on my bed full of pie and good vibes? Well... the last thing I expected was to wake up back at the same Flower Bed that we first met in."
Frisk: "7 years I'd lived with all those wonderful people...and in a day I'd watch them all die. That was the route chosen for the second timeline."

I've been waiting to share this with you for so long, I hope you enjoyed the first chunk of it.

Chapter 91: You and Me.
Summary:
More of the world unravels.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*...You move upward to an empty home. It's cold and dusty, no different than a rotting body.
Frisk: "As you'd expect, I was distraught, and so were you...for a time. Years after we left the underground you told me you weren't fully in control. That another entity had directed your acts. And in the same way I influenced you at the start of this timeline you influenced me in the second. I tried to resist, just like you did...but the world back then was ...limited. And so my struggle was more futile and one-sided than yours. For example-"
*You crush the chain in your way.
Frisk: "I could've never done that in the original timeline."
*...
*You move right.
*...Is this why you were so angry with me?
Frisk: "Oh no, I was scared. What monster would control my partner and force us to kill the people we loved? The hatred...it came later."
*...You enter my room.
Frisk: "As I've said, for a time you were distraught...but...you started enjoying it Chara. I...I'd always known you weren't like me. That while we were connected...I was the one with a Soul. That no matter how much I liked you, you were still no different than Flowey. It was...easy for you to fill in this new role. To abandon what we once had and become the demon that would wipe out the underground...I couldn't do the same"
*You opened the two presents.
*You equipped the Real Knife.
*You equipped The Locket.
Frisk: "And at the very end, you spoke past me...to someone I couldn't even see. And despite the years we'd spent together. Despite knowing how much I was hurting! Despite it all...you destroyed the world I loved."
*...
Frisk: "...After a long time, you returned. Offering a deal to bring this world back...with my soul as the price. I was not the one who accepted the deal, it was the one who puppeted you...I hated that."
*You move to the wardrobe. Your fists clenched.
Frisk: "I hated being a puppet of a puppet, I hated that I was too weak to stop you, I hated that my body, my life, my soul wasn't even MINE! I held on to that hate as the world changed and morphed in a way that not even you expected. Even as our memories were wiped I held on to that burning loathing for being used and discarded."
*You open the wardrobe.
Frisk: "I've realized that something vital to this world's existence has been lost... the one who controlled your acts Chara...I think they're gone. Yet the Angel wants to redo their decisions, and it speaks in code. And...I'm sure you've noticed how gamey this world is. Despite how often we've ignored those rules in this timeline I believe we were in something akin to a super complex computer-generated world with a certain purpose...or let's just call it a 'game' to simplify it."
*You shuffle through the wardrobe, trying to find something.
Frisk: "And now, for some reason, that game is no longer a game at all. No, it has shifted...either to our freedom...or to another medium. However you see it, the remnants of the original are trying to repeat the events of the last timeline. Why I can not understand...but that's unsurprising, it's hard to understand the reasoning of a broken system."
*You take out a green t-shirt and brown pants from the wardrobe.
Frisk: "But it's more than that. Things we'd done in the past no longer exist...or maybe were just ignored. The snowman you destroyed, the Riverperson, the artifact of the waterfall...that annoying dog. All of it passed by despite what we'd originally done. And the tediousness of our fights was largely cut down... except for Hotland of course."
*You discard your old clothes
Frisk: "No, it's like our route has been shortened...modified...Abridged."
*...
Frisk: "But it doesn't matter. The changes have given me control. Now that you possess my soul our situation is reversed. I became you, and you became me. Not in personality, I've always been more spunky than you...but in our roles in this story....so it's only fitting that I dress for the occasion."
*You put on my green t-shirt and brown pants.
Frisk: "Yes...I am Chara, the demon that comes when you call its name...and you are Frisk, the one who watches as I cast this world to the abyss...forever."
Notes:
Okay I know this chapter is serous and I've been acting serious but like...Bro I had that *Abridged* shit in my mind for basically the START of this story. So yes I'm just here to brag about how much I like how fitting the name (Undertale Genocide Abridged) ended up being with the actual word Abridge and how it hints at the overall narrative of the story and damn I feel so cool.
...
Yeah that's all.**
Chapter Text
*Frisk-
Frisk: "You mean Cha-"
*Frisk! This isn't what we agreed on. This world...you told me we'd save it, not turn it to ash.
Frisk: "But from ash a phoenix can rise. A new world, one without these broken systems and unfair rules. One without the barrier or angel's will or even the war between humans and monsters."
*And you can do that?
*You nod.
Frisk: "I can feel power beyond even the strength we had before Chara, the power of a being that can match even GOD...a demon's strength. With a mere thought I could end this timeline, and like you'd done before me...restore it."
*But this is a lot more than restoring or erasing Frisk. This is breaking the pieces and rearranging them in completely new ways! And this strength... it's built upon this world's laws. If you change them...will you even have this power by the end of it?
Frisk: "...It doesn't matter what it costs, I'll pay for it all the same."
*But Frisk! You can't guarantee you'll get everything right the first time, that you won't make a mess or-"
Frisk: "Look around you! This is a mess! We're kids and we've destroyed an entire civilization! A world that allows such a disparity in power between humans and monsters is a breeding ground for tragedy and one-sided conflicts!"
*You can't guarantee anything! Our friends' lives, our memories, our hopes and dreams! With your plan, they could be gone forever!
Frisk: "Oh, and what do you suggest? To allow this world to continue in its broken ways?"
*You should reset back to our flower bed, keep our memories, and aim to undo the barrier in the way we'd done in the first timeline. We can continue the happy lives we had back then Frisk!
Frisk: "Don't be a fool, it wouldn't be the same, it couldn't be with how broken everything is!"
*We can figure a way-
Frisk: "NO! I'm the one in control, and I've decided that this world needs to end for a better one to flourish. With us or without!"
*...You told me that as long as I held on to my Love then there would still be hope for me...for monsters...for this world! W-was...was that all a lie?
Frisk: "...Love goes both ways Chara. You love monsters, and if things were right they'd love you. And even if I can't care like you can...I still want to do good. To be...who I once was. In my own way, I love them...that's why I won't let this world continue any longer! Because this world...this world doesn't love us."
*...So...that's it. You'll erase everything now?
Frisk: "...Well...I might as well reach the end one last time before changing it. Nostalgia and all that..."
*...
Frisk: "Don't worry, I'm sure the next You and Me will live far better than any of our past selves...I'll make sure of it."
Notes:
...but...a decision does await...soon.

Chapter Text
You move backward. You move left. You move onward downstairs.
*You move onward.
*You move onward.
*...You overlook the city...this might be the last time anyone ever sees these sights.
Frisk: "Better enjoy it then."
*...
Frisk: "Y'know, I can feel everyone who's left now. The scared monsters in the true lab. The hidden people of this city, cowering from my gaze...and of course, I've noticed you for a while, Asriel."
*You turn too quickly for the flower to plop into the ground.
Flowey: "So...this was your plan. To recreate the world... to 'save us'. hehehHahahahaha."
*Flowey's twisted grin is still the vilest thing you've ever seen in your journey underground.
Flowey: "What bullshit! You just got bored with everything, didn't you? And now you want a new world to play god in. I know, because I've had the EXACT same plan for years."
*...
Frisk: "I'm not like you, but I understand you well enough that you don't go around being an ass for no reason. What do you want?"
*Flowey's face softens...he almost looks like the monster I once called brother.
Flowey: "Isn't it obvious what a person like me wants? My...memories. I want to remember everything."
Frisk: "Are you sure? I don't know all that much about what you did after we left the underground, I can't assure you it's pleasant at all."
Flowey: "It'll at least give me SOMETHING to think about before I'm gone."
Frisk: "...I don't plan to erase everyone. I-"
Flowey: "Don't try to lie to me fleshy mirror, Asriel might survive, but me? Flowey?! Ha, you'll erase the mistake that I am from existence! I..."
*Flowey's petals crumple.
Flowey: "I don't need my memories to know that no one wants an abomination like me around..."
*You sigh.
Frisk: "Fine. Just don't say I didn't warn you. Angel!"
???: "...Restoring memories..."
*Flowey stands dead still, years passing in seconds. A process that might have broken anyone else...if his mind wasn't already so crooked.
*At first Flowey had an uneasy smile, then it grew wider only to quickly dissolve into a frown. Then acceptance for what must've been his end...yet after a long time that acceptance morphs into shock, and then...
*A single tear rolls down Flowey's eyes.
???: "Memories fully restored."
*Flowey stares at You, their face hardening before plopping back into the floor.
*You groan.
Frisk: "That idiot."
*What is he doing?
Frisk: "Heading for the souls."
*What?! W-why?
Frisk: "Probably something with his memory, not like it matters, 6 souls won't be enough to stop me and-"
*What about the humans on the surface? He could still absorb them.
*...You smile?
*You look up.
Frisk: "Angel...kill them all."
*...
???: "Not meant-"
Frisk: "Kill them or I'll destroy everything."
???: "...Exterminating humankind...calculating easiest-"
*T-this is insane!
Frisk: "Oh? But isn't this what you once wanted?"
*Yeah, before I realized how awful of a plan it was!
Frisk: "Oh, don't give me that. They were all going to die one way or another, it's more fitting this way. Their ultimate weapon used to end them. It's like poetry or something cool like that."
*...They're going to die, Frisk."
Frisk: "And then they'll exist again."
*You don't know that! And...and it's still wrong to need to hurt them at all! You could've just stopped Flowey, or...why...if you knew Flowey was with us...why did you say everything out loud?
*F-frisk...what Flowey said back there about you doing this because you're bored. Is it-
Frisk: "Of course not! What reason would I have to lie to you now? I'm in complete control!"
*Then why did you-
Frisk: " Again Chara, I'm in complete control. Why not do it?"
*B-because you've just sentenced all of humanity to death for no reason!
Frisk: "But they'll be back...or would've been gone anyway by the time I was done. Whether they hurt a bit now or not doesn't matter if they don't even remember it by the end of all this. Plus, even if it isn't much of a challenge it'll still be a cool final fight."
*...
Frisk: "Oh come on, I literally have no soul. You can't expect me to be flawless! Let's just...enjoy what could be the last moments we have together. I still want to tell you so many things Fri-
???: "Meteorite nearby detected, size calculated to be enough to eliminate civilization within an instant, redirecting its route to collide with earth in...3 minutes."
Frisk: "Meteorite extinction, an oldie but a goodie!"
*Are you even hearing what you're saying?
*Y-you shrug?!
Frisk: "Of course, I'm sure if I had a soul I'd feel just as frightened as you...but I don't. And like I've pointed out, none of this will matter in the long run...actually, this might be a net positive."
*How?!
Frisk: "It improves my mood! Increasing the chances everything will work out."
*...
Frisk: "...Fine! Act that way Chara, I've...I've got plenty of other ways to amuse myself."
*...You move onward.
*You move through the judgment hall.
Frisk: "Believe it or not...someone was meant to be here but...we'll they're dead. Wanna guess who it was?"
*...
Frisk: "I-it starts with s and ends with s!"
*...
Frisk: "..."
*You move onward.
*You move upward.
*You move onward.
*You move upward.
*...
*You enter a room full of plants. Farther in are Golden Flowers and the throne of the monster king...Asgore is not here.
Frisk: "So Asriel warned pops what was going down? That's good. I've always wanted to see what Asgore could do with those 6 souls."
*You move upward.
*You move onward.
*...One final save point, one final room, one final challenge.
*But after all you've done...how could anyone stop you?
*You stroll to the room, with no fear of what enemy awaits you.
???: "Remaining time until meteorite impact...30 seconds."
Notes:
And closer.

Chapter Text
Asgore: "Human...isn't it curious? I've never seen a Flower so desperate before. That was a new experience. And a new experience is always to be appreciated...or at least learned from...but-"
*Asgore's eyes are dull, and though he's far larger than you could ever grow to be he is the one who appears small.
Asgore: "I truly wished for this day to never come. Though I knew it would harden my heart...I always feared that a human would fall...and end Monsterkind once and for all...you...you are still human, right?"
Frisk: "Oh, I haven't been human for a long time."
Asgore: "I see..."
*Asgore raises his trident. In turn, you raise your brow.
Frisk: "You think you can beat me?"
*Asgore smiles in the way rulers must for their citizens to not despair.
Asgore: "Oh, I know I can't. But a King can not flee his kingdom...if not it wouldn't be a KINGdom...would it?"
*You politely laugh.
Frisk: "Very charming my liege. Y'know, I've always respected your heart. To carry on a plan you hate for the sake of your people...in my most desperate moments, I'd often think of you. Of how you withstood everything for the people you loved...but, in the end, you failed. Did you not?"
*Asgore knee bends like a heavy weight was strapped onto his back...but he remains standing. As a king should never crawl...after all, how else would anyone know how to walk!?
Frisk: 'Ha, I remember that one.'
*Yeah...I always thought of them as bad jokes...now I know they're the weights of the ruling.
Frisk: 'Hmm, let's relieve him of his crown once and for all.'
Frisk: "It's fine Asgore, I failed as well. But now...we shall all go to a better place. But before then...you have one final thing to teach this youngling."
*You enter a battle stance.
Frisk: "Come Asgore, show me the heart of a king! So I can rule with its guidance!"
*A sprinkle of joy enters Asgore's smile.
Asgore: "You are an odd child...and you have done awful things...but...I can not help but feel...that in another time...we could've been friends. Hahaha-"
*Asgore's smile vanishes, nothing but regret and pain is left.
Asgore: "I am truly awful to think such things about the one who has taken so much from my kingdom. I'll rectify my sin-"
*Asgore sprints toward you faster than a bullet.
Asgore: "With your blood!"
*Asgore thrusts at you with his trident, and you parry with your knife.
Frisk: "Your form is excellent, but excellency isn't enough to beat me!"
*Asgore's trident and your knife clash in the middle, you grin as Asgore pushes with all his might...yet is unable to move you by an inch.
Frisk: "Your strength is that of a mountain king...but I have out-soared such heights already!"
Asgore: "Then be burnt to a crisp by my volcano's wrath!"
*A beam of flame shoots from Asgore's mouth. You're pushed back and given little time to recover before Asgore's eyes flash.
Frisk: 'Orange, blue, blue, orange, blue, orange, blue, orange, orange, blue, orange!'
*You dodge accordingly, moving and stopping whenever needed. Asgore huffs and nearly falls over as the entire Underground shakes.
???: "Meteor has landed, no life r-"
Frisk: "Shut up! I'm having too much fun for you to ruin it!"
*The shaking only gets worse.
Asgore: "H-human, what is happening?!"
*You run towards Asgore.
Frisk: "Nothing you didn't know already-"
*Asgore struggles to block your first slash
Frisk: "You're just-"
*Asgore is pushed back.
Frisk: "Fighting at the world's end!"
*Asgore's trident is cut in half.
*You allow him to gain distance. You point your knife at him with a relaxed smile.
Frisk: "Are you done already? Y'know... feel free to absorb those souls. Don't worry, I'll give you the time."
*It's Asgore's turn to raise a brow.
Asgore: "You're being quite generous for someone who's trying to kill you."
Frisk: "Well you can't blame a kid for wanting to have fun with a friend, especially if that friend might be...moving soon."
Asgore: "...I don't think I understand."
*You shrug.
Frisk: "It's probably best if you don't. Point is, you should have fun! Let's let out all the pent-up frustration we have about this awful world! One last thrilling battle before the end!"
*Asgore smiles...but it's very strained.
Asgore: "Apologies, but I don't think I can enjoy this. Despite all its cruelties, all I feel at the world's end...is a sadness that it could not continue a bit longer..."
Frisk: "...You wouldn't say that. If you knew what I knew... you'd let go of that bullshit morality and just cut loose for a bit."
Asgore: "But I do not know what you do...and so, for the sake of everyone, I will not prolong this any longer."
*Asgore cups his hands together and begins singing in a hauntingly low pitch... it's even more beautiful when accompanied by Toriel's heaven-piercing soprano.
Asgore: "Ever burning flame, turn this beast to ash in a flash, let my kingdom rest-"
*You hardly notice Asgore's chant. Even as you feel the ground warm up.
Frisk: "I...I could change that you know. I could-"
*Your words are nothing but yearning whispers to even your own ears...even so, stop.
Frisk: 'Why? Just let me have some fun! Let Asgore have fun! Let-'
*He'd only hurt more if he understood what was loss.
Frisk: '...But I...I-"
*Before you can finish, fire ruptures from the ground beneath you.
Asgore: "Let this child's quest end in death!"
*The flame doubles in force, then as Asgore undoes his prayer it-
*BOOM!
*...Clouds of dust cover the room, Asgore is on his knees, huffing and puffing from the strain of such an attack.
Asgore: "A-ah..."
*He lets out a soundless scream as your knife pierces straight through his chest and soul.
Frisk: "I'm...not selfish enough to play with someone who's not having fun. If you want this to end quickly...then so be it."
*You rip the knife off Asgore's chest...he collapses to the floor.
Asgore: "I...I see...so nothing but pity is what kept me alive...ha...ha...ha-"
*...Asgore's soul trembles and shakes and...then shatters apart.
*...Goodbye, dad.
*...One left.

Chapter 95: Photoshop Flowey
Summary:
Okay...this fight might get a tiny bit more over the top then the Undyne one...
But only a tinyyy bit.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*The dust settles. Ahead of you are 7 jars...all empty.
*You snicker.
Frisk: "To use your own dad to buy time...you're as heartless as always Flowey."
*Bzzz...bzzz...bzzz...
*...Tv noises come from above. You hear an ear-piercing laugh, both deep and high-pitched.
*Large vine arms crack the ground as the Lovecraftian monster's tv screen smiles. Its fleshy bird-like mouth opens wide
Photoshop Flowey: "Die."
*The blue beam shoots you past the throne room, through the judgment hall, and into and out of most of New Home. Leaving massive fiery explosions that turn the kingdom into a burning hellscape.
*With a sigh and a wave the rubble that tried to contain you was blown away. Allowing you to see Flowey climb out of the collapsing castle. You spread your arms with a boyish smile.
Frisk: "Yes! Of course! What better way to end this world than with a battle of the two monstrosities that it created! Come Flowey, let's play one final time before-"
*Giant vines erupt from the ground, shooting chunks of the city into the air, including the very ground you stand on.
Frisk: "Hahaha! Awesome! The power of 6 human souls is so cool! I-"
*The giant vines strike the rising city like whips. Cracking them apart in search of you.
Frisk: "No need to worry, I won't be hiding!"
*You leap from cracked buildings to shattered roads. As you near Flowey a giant vine pulverizes the road you stand on, shooting you up to the Underground's ceiling. You laugh as Flowey finally spots you.
Frisk: "So, you like to play rough!? Well, I'm down. Give me another-"
*Your speech halts as you notice Flowey's eyes. His grinning, no doubt taking joy in tossing you around...but his eyes show a deeper layer. They are small but shine with a dim hope.
*You stand up on the ceiling, and for the first time since you've gained your god-like powers...you appear as fragile and small as any other child.
Frisk: "You...you of all people...want to save this world?"
Notes:
You also about that super close decision thing...
Yeah this fight is gonna last a bit lol.**
Chapter Text
*Flowey's smile widens at your displeasure.
Photoshop Flowey: "I think you're the only freak in this world who doesn't."
*You clench your jaw.
Frisk: "You idiot."
*In a blink of an eye you slam back to the floor. Not only shattering but collapsing the ground both you and Flowey stand on. While falling Flowey's vines whip at you, and in turn, you cut each one of them down with your knife. Then use the falling rocks to close the distance between both of you.
Frisk: "Is it because you wish to preserve yourself? To live despite the mistake your very existence IS?!"
*Right before your slash can cut Flowey in twain a Brave soul's tough glove blocks your blade.
Omega Flowey: "I'm no scaredy cat!"
*Its glove grabs you and chucks you away. You smash through the rocks and create a tsunami of lava from your fall to Hotland.
*The Core topples and begins to fall from the wave's impact. It shines a goldish crimson as Flowey searches for you. Your knife glows a deep red, parting the ocean and waves in half from the motion of your swing.
*You move towards Flowey as the lava tries to reclaim the land you stole from it.
Frisk: "What bullshit. Of course you fear your end. All beings do. But it comes whether you want it to or not. Give up on those silly hopes and dreams of living past this world's collapse...and you'll die a much happier death."
Flowey X: "...I liked you a lot better when you were 'Fight fight fight' instead of obnoxious theater kid. Word of advice, no one takes theater kids seriously."
*You chuckle.
Frisk: "Sorry, it's hard not to pick up on a few theatrics when you've lived with your idiot brother for 7+ years."
Flowey with another fanon name: "Is that so? Then be careful Frisk. Your wit might cut you. After all-"
*An uncountable amount of bullets spin around Flowey.
6 Souls Flowey: "You're the one who's living in a fantasy. Thinking you alone can make a better world than this one...oh, how arrogant you are."
*The bullets eject in every direction, leaving no room for you to run. You point your knife at Flowey as his attacks get closer.
Frisk: "And you'd do any better?"
*All the redness of your blade shifts to the point of its tip, then bursts forward as a massive beam of energy. The bullets are erased from existence and Flowey screams as it appr-
*BOOM!
*The shockwaves alone destroy the rest of Hotland. Even the lab is turned to little more than dust.
*You fly into the air, taking pride in the ruin you brought to this land.
Frisk: 'Oh, don't be like that. We can both agree that it was a beautiful firework. A bit late for new years but-'
*Your eyes widen as you take sight of Flowey. Still fully intact thanks to the grand efforts of a Kind soul and their frying pan.
FLOWEY: "Always making things a competition, ha. You may have taken a page from Chara's book but you clearly didn't read it. Chara...Chara would have told you that no good world would come from a tyrant's ideal."
*...
Frisk: "Ooh? And you stand by that declaration?"
Photoshop Flowey: "Idiot, do I need to spell out EVERYTHING for you?"
Frisk: "Hahaha, those memories affected you more than I expected. You had my interest before...but now...I'm curious. Come on Flowey, let's kick this up a gear! YAH!"
*You slam into Flowey, launching him to Waterfall before following after him.
Notes:
This fight is already way more over the top!
**
Chapter 97: Justice and Integrity.
Summary:
Okay this is officially more over top then the Undyne fight.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*The lava of Hotland spills into Waterfall thanks to your beam's shockwave. Steam rises across the rocky land...only to be blown away by the clash of two waves of energy.
Frisk: "Come on, is this your limit?"
*You push Flowey's beam back.
Frisk: "Is this the height of the power of someone who fights for the sake of this world?"
*Flowey tries to push back, but all his might can not make your beam budge by even an inch.
Frisk: "Ha, no surprise. I should've expected nothing less from the babblings of a madman!"
*Your wave of energy pushes further, all that separates it from Flowey's screen is the tiny remainder left of his own.
Frisk: "Oh? Still holding on? Don't you tire of losing Flowey?"
6 Virtues Flowey: "Holy shit! Talk about edgy! Did you practice in the mirror your little plays lines or-Gh!"
*Flowey loses even more ground by your slightest push.
Frisk: "Shut up! They're cool!"
Boss Flowey: "N-no they're not! Y-you say you're curious...and that you're doing this for good! But all you've done is push down the ideas of others! Making fun of me instead of trying to learn anything! T-that isn't-"
*A soul of Justice enters a giant gun, i-
*Bang!
*A beam of yellow shoots out to aid Flowey.
Bigger Flowey: "FAIR!"
*Together the waves of energies mix and overpower your own.
*You try to push back against the beam with your bare hands but it ignores your efforts! Once again you feel your feet skid against stone as you're pushed through Waterfall!
Frisk: "N-nothing in this world is fair! And you are the least fair part of it!"
*Yet this time you do not give in, you smash your feet into the ground and push harder than ever before. All of Waterfall begins to split beneath you...but...the beam has begun to yield from your efforts.
Frisk: "Your creation, your actions, the loss of what you once were...all of it was unfair!"
*Your one step forward brings Waterfall even closer to collapse.
Frisk: "So why should I be fair to someone like you!"
*You kick the beam back at Flowey.
*BOOM!
*The explosion pushes you back and destroys the already crumbling Waterfall. All that remains is white smoke and the endless abyss below.
*Until a blue light overcomes it all, forcing you to cover your eyes from its intensity.
???: "And why would I listen to you if you can't listen to me?!"
*Flowey's voice is more...masculine?
Frisk: 'What the fuck did he do now?'
???: "How can you know if what you believe is true if you silence all that opposes you? How-"
*The outline of a humanoid figure dances extravagantly at the center of the blue light.
*The light begins to fade as a Soul with true Integrity stands by Flowey.
*F-...Flowey is...F-flo-
Frisk: "Your a fucking macho man now?"
*T-that...
BUFF Flowey: "How can you learn to create a perfect world, without wishing to be taught?"
*...Flowey smiles. Then he flexes his bulging green biceps, which strain his tree-trunk thick legs, and... an oversized pink tutu flutters as he switches to all sorts of dynamic poses. His hand slides smoothly through his bad boy band viney hair...which makes the fact his face is still the same all the more unnerving.
BUFF Flowey: "And of course, how could you beat me with those PUNY muscles!"
*Flowey vanishes from sight, moving faster than ever before...that's getting repetitive to say.
Frisk: "Shit! He's gotten even stronger thanks to his defined abdominals!"
*I...think the powerup is thanks to the growing efforts of the souls to work together.
Frisk: "So it's the power of friendship? That's even worse! I-"
BUFF Flowey: "UNIVERSALTON PUNCH!"
*Flowey's fist crashes into your face with the power to obliterate the cosmos!
BUFF Flowey: "W-what?!"
*Oh no-
Frisk: "I'd be worried-"
*You flex.
BUFF Frisk: "If I wasn't jacked also!"
*Your oversized muscles easily take the force of Flowey's punch.
BUFF Flowey: "Y-you cheater!"
BUFF Frisk: "Hm, not at all."
*You...you do a pose. Ugh.
BUFF Frisk: "The muscles you see here are the ones I once had in the original timeline! With Aaron as my personal trainer, I lifted weight after weight. From 20 KG to 226 KG!"
BUFF Flowey: "How about using a unit of measurement that doesn't suck ass?"
BUFF Frisk: "44 Pounds to 500 pounds!"
BUFF Flowey: "Y-you have the conversion formula memorized?"
BUFF Frisk: "Haha, you fool. Every gym bro knows how to convert! You've just exposed yourself as a scrawny pleb!"
BUFF Flowey: "Shit!"
*Please kill me.
BUFF Frisk: "But fine, I'll humor your request, scrawny boy. If you can survive long enough for me to laugh at your pitiful attempts to stop my triceps from blowing you apart!"
BUFF Flowey: "Tch, bring it on, bastard!"
*You and Flowey throw punches at the same time, they clash in the center an-
BUFF Frisk: "ERASE"
BUFF Flowey: "SAVE"
*No...y-you guys aren't actu-"
BUFF FRISK: "ERASE, ERASE, ERASE, ERASE, ERASE, ERASE, E-"
BUFF FLOWEY: "SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE-"
*Dozens of punches intercept each other as you guys do the cringiest shit I have ever seen.
BUFF FRISK: "ERASE-"
BUFF FLOWEY: "SAVE-"
*Flowey goes to intercept your blow, but it halts halfway, getting Flowey to punch at thin air.
BUFF FRISK: "FAKE OUT! EEEEEERRRRRR-"
BUFF FLOWEY: "YOU BASTAAARRD!"
BUFF FRISK: "RRAASSSEEEE!"
*Your mighty punch collides with Flowey's impressive abs, he tightens them to withstand your blow...but it's too much! His muscles give away to your strength. Blowing him back to Snowdin!
*...Is this even a serious fight anymore?
Notes:
And a lot dumber also lol.

Chapter 98: Preseverance.
Summary:
Yeah this battle is ending on Ch 99 lol.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*Snowdin's buildings are submerged in snow. All thanks to the force of Flowey sliding through town. He stops his momentum near the librarby, just in time for him to spot your fist making its way to his face.
*BAM!
*The blow launches Flowey into the Christmas tree, and by some miracle, it doesn't snap. Instead, it bends just enough for Flowey's speed to be directed upward.
BUFF Frisk: "Hm, pathetic. I'm using only 1% of my power."
BUFF FLOWEY: "W-WELL I'M ONLY USING NEGATIVE INFINITY OF MY POWER!"
*You catch Flowey's fist with one hand.
BUFF Frisk: "Then I'd suggest you to step it up-"
*You raise your shoe
BUFF Frisk: "Or I'll be stepping on YOU!"
*Your feet squash Flowey's head.
*BOOM!
*Snowdin is now nothing but a crater. It's Craterdin.
*You float to Flowey's headless body.
BUFF Frisk: "Y'know, I don't see the point to all of this. To preserve a world as rotten as this one is so...useless. Why salvage a dumpster fire when you could live in a dumpster, Flowey!"
*That's still trash.
BUFF Frisk: 'You greatly underestimate the comfiness of dumpsters.'
*A Soul with genius Perseverance shoots out of Flowey's body. Opening a book and flipping the pages wildly. In turn, the vines make Flowey's body reform to be more thorny and bushy.
*Flowey's new body rises u-...it...it looks like Asriel. But...he has no eyes, no fur, nothing but spiky vines hold up an image that lacks the...the soul of the original.
Soulless Asriel: "Letting this world end would be more than just risking the end of our friends! It be erasing everything they'd strived for."
BUFF Frisk: "But for a greater purpose, don't you think that's worth it?"
Souless Asriel: "Not like this."
BUFF Frisk: "Hm-"
*You crack your neck and knuckles.
BUFF Frisk: "I'm getting tired of your spiel, it's time to finish this. ERASE!"
*BAM!
BUFF Frisk: "H-how?"
*Asriel blocks your blow with his pinky finger and a slight smile.
Soulless Asriel: "Your soul isn't the only one capable of getting stronger with DT."
*Asriel flicks you out of Craterdin.
*Asriel outstretches both his hands to make his vines grow into more Asriel's. Dozens, hundreds, thousands...until they surround you. They speak at once...while holding hands, which is adorable.
Holding Hands Soulless Asriel: "From the weakest monster to the strongest human, each one possesses the potential to grow, to strive higher. A true ruler brings out and helps increase those potentials. You who discard everyone's strengths and ideals just because you are strong...that is a sign that you are unfit to rule!"
*Damn straight.
BUFF Frisk: "Ugh! And you called ME a theater kid."
*Asriel's smile grows.
Holding Hands Soulless Asriel: "It seems neither of us could be around Chara for long without gaining their theatrics. But I like to think that my naming conventions at least...are all mine."
Holding Hands Soulless Asriel: " CHAOTIC THORNY WORLD!"
*Thorns shoot out from Asriel's mouth. You're left with no room to dodge as they pierce into every inch of your body.
60/99
Frisk: 'D-damage?'
25/99
Frisk: 'N-not fake pain or a slight struggle...real danger? I'm...I'm..."
1/99
Frisk: 'Dying?'
Frisk: 'No...NOOOO!'
*A white light spreads to every part of Craterdin, destroying the little that was left of it.
*Your body hovers in the center of this new abyss. Watching as pieces of Asriel fall into the darkness.
*Your body has returned to its child-like form, with only one difference...you have no pupils. Only white stares back at the world.
???: "Error! Error! Error! DT source rapidly depleting, stability of Barrier-"
White-Eyed Frisk: "Silence."
*...
*Pieces of the many blown apart Asriel's rejoin and combine into a giant that could tower over mountains. He crosses his arms.
Giant Soulless Asriel: "So, you've taken the angel's power for yourself?"
White-Eyed Frisk: "It was always mine, I had simply no reason to use it."
Giant Soulless Asriel: "So a hissy fit? Are you going to do that every time I outpower you?"
White Eyed Frisk: "No-"
*You raise your hand.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Because this fight is over."
*Hundreds of beams of white light cut through the giant Asriel before he can even blink.
*As his body falls apart you close your eyes. Searching for something.
*By the time you open your eyes you've already appeared at the giant's chest. A simple wave of your hand dispels the vines, revealing 6 souls, 5 of them shining.
White-Eyed Frisk: "So, this is where you kept them. How fitting."
*Your knife emits a white light so violent that it feels as if death itself hides within it.
*You aim for the-
*The torn-apart pieces of the giant slam into you, confining you in a veiny prison.
White-Eyed Frisk: "This is a waste of time."
*But that too is blown apart by your ever-rising strength. You spot Asriel flying away, and you can feel the souls in his chest. You look past him and notice the last haven of the underground. The ruins...how ironic.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Very well, we can finish this where we started."
Notes:
Destroying the underground sure is fun.

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
*Asriel's vines disperse, slithering between the collapsed exit of the ruins. You don't bother with fancy maneuvers. Instead, you slam your head against the rubble so hard that it shatters.
*Following Asriel, you find yourself in Toriel's home. His vines are in every corner of the house. Forcing you to search for-
White-Eyed Frisk: "No, playtime is over."
*You clench your fist and-
*House crumbling noises.
*The house is condensed into a ball of rubble.
White-Eyed Frisk: "No more hiding, no more back, and forths, you yield, now."
*The vines surround the rubble, defending it from your wrath.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Tch, very well."
*You toss the rubble into the ruins city, collapsing buildings and dropping brass bells on its way to the center. You clap your hands together, making the city smash into the rubble. Magnifying its size by manyfold.
White-Eyed Frisk: "YAH!"
*The giant ball of rubble is launched at the rest of the ruins. The spider's bake sale, the puzzles, and The long hallway. All of it crumbles and becomes one with the rubble.
*Until you reach the room you first met Flowey. You raise the now massive ball above you. You close your arms. It condenses further and further until-
*I...Is that a black hole?!
White-Eyed Frisk: "Bingo."
*Asriel and the souls scurry away while you raise your hand. A small beam hits the black hole and-
*For a brief moment you and Asriel see it expand, then it overtakes both you and him...yet it doesn't stop. The underground, the world, the whole universe is consumed by its singularity point. Time and space begin to break apart...and you're grinning.
Soulless Asriel: "What...what the hell did you do?"
White-Eyed Frisk: "Now, you can't run away."
*You destroyed the universe Frisk!
White-Eyed Frisk: "Oh can it Chara, I was going to do that anyway. Now, Flowey...or Asriel...or whatever the fuck you call yourself. Are you going to spill the beans on why you're being a major pain in my ass? Or will I need to suffer through another-"
*A Soul with enormous Patience manifests a knife for Asriel.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Ugh...power up."
*The knife shines with the colors of each soul before...wait how are we even seeing this?
White-Eyed Frisk: "We flew, shot laser beams, got yoked, unyoked ourselves, and then I made a fucking black hole. But THIS is what breaks your suspension of disbelief?"
*...Fair enough.
Soulless Asriel: "So are we going to fight or-"
White-Eyed Frisk: "Yeah, just tell me your sob story while I try to kill you."
Soulles Asriel: "Okay. YAH!"
White-Eyed Frisk: "YAH!"
*Asriel and you clash blades.
Soulless Asriel: "All of my efforts, all of my struggles, it's all been for this moment!"
*Asriel thrusts at your chest, you side-step it and counter with a slash at his head. His vines disperse, avoiding your blow and wrapping around your arm. You struggle to break free from Asriel's hold.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Seriously? We're going to downgrade to a street-level brawl while we fight in the center of a BLACK HOLE?"
Soulless Asriel: "...I thought it was cool."
*I think the big explosions were getting repetitive anyway.
White-Eyed Frisk: "What? No! They were awesome and-Gh!"
*You slap Asriel's arm away right before his knife pierces your chest.
*Tink.
*His knife is sent hurtling away from your slap. Your smile returns to you.
White-Eyed Frisk: "I just remembered something Chara taught me. You might know about it."
Soulless Asriel: "N-no."
White-Eyed Frisk: "Yes. KNIFE TRICKS!"
*You spin the knife epicly using only two fingers, it cuts Asriel's vines! Freeing your arm to slash at him.
*As his chest opens you catch a glimpse of the souls, you-
89/99
White-Eyed Frisk: "Ahh!"
*You hold your gut, but blood spills out anyway. Asriel's bloody thorn hurries to grab his knife.
White-Eyed Frisk: "F-fuck off!"
*You cut the thorn before it can bring the weapon back, then knock Asriel over with your foot.
*While holding your gut you point your knife at Asriel, all its white concentrates onto the knife's point.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Talk, or I start blasting."
Soulless Asriel: "Fine! The first thing I saw was your past genocide... and I learned what that meant for me...and I accepted it."
*Asriel puts a hand on his chest.
Soulless Asriel: "But after that, I saw the original timeline...and that's when my heart shifted."
White-Eyed Frisk: "Pff, you don't have a heart. And if you're going to take this long to explain yourself then I'd rather not hear it."
*No Frisk wai-
*You shoot the beam and-
*Asriel's hand shines green! He deflects your beam with the frying pan!
White-Eyed Frisk: "Stop not dying!"
*You kick the frying pan out of his hands, then raise your knife t-
*BANG!
*The bullet knocks your knife off your hand.
*Both of you look at your knives. Then back at each other.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Damn you!"
Soulless Asriel: "Stop cussing!"
*Both of you run to your knives, grabbing them at the same time before pointing the tips at each other.
White-Eyed Frisk/Soulless Asriel: "DIE!"
*Asriel's rainbow beam clashes with your white energy wave in the absolute darkness of a black hole. But even the black hole can't take the pressure of your-
*What the fuck?
Soulless Asriel: "Is that ANOTHER black hole?"
White-Eyed Frisk: "ITS BLACKHOLE INCEPTION!"
*The density of your beam has somehow made a black hole within a black hole. It sucks both of you in and quickly consumes the original one.
Soulless Asriel: "...So, no beams?"
White-Eyed Frisk: "Fuck you, I love my beams!"
*You shoot out a beam at Asriel...he does the same...the same shit happens dumbass.
Soulless Asriel: "..."
White-Eyed Frisk: "Fine...no beams."
*Asriel's thorns dart to you. You duck under the first, cut down the second, and then grab the third...not noticing the vine wrapping around your foot.
White-Eyed Frisk: "W-wait wha-Ahh!"
*The vine swings you around before reeling you to Asriel.
*BAM
79/99
*A tooth loosens from the tough glove's impact, you-
69/99
Frisk: 'N-nice'
*Seriously!? Right after the ballet shoes break one of your ribs you-
*BEAM NOISES!
59/99
*The beam destroys the vine and shoots you far away. You struggle to get up.
Frisk: "You asshole! We said no beams!"
Soulless Asriel: "I LIED."
*You roll away from one of Asriel's beams. Then rush towards him.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Do you really think that you can beat-"
*Your upward slash scrapes Asriel's chin. He stumbles back
White-Eyed Frisk: "Me?!"
*The white concentrates onto the tip of your knife. Asriel's knife follows suit.
*You push his arm to the side and-
*He does the same!
*The beams shoot out at both your sides, missing completely. Asriel's black eyes stare deep into your white.
Soulless Asriel: "I don't need to beat you to stop you."
White-Eyed Frisk: "Oh? You think you can convince me?"
Soulless Asriel: "Not you, THEM."
White-Eyed Frisk: "Chara won't save you Assriel."
Soulless Asriel: "I'm not talking about Chara, Frevil. I'll tell you all about it. After I finish showing THEM how awful you and your plan is."
White-Eyed Frisk: "You won't live to say shit!"
*With your beams done, Asriel stabs at you, you kick the knife out of his hand and into the air. You try to cut him in half a-
49/99
*His elbow digs into your chin, making your hand slip off the hilt of your knife. It soars up.
Asriel Soulless: "When you broke the barrier I was left with nothing, no power, no future, no souls! YAH!"
*Your cheek scrapes against Asriel's fist before you connect with a hook.
Asriel Soulless: "Guh!"
White-Eyed Frisk: "And you got off easy!"
*Asriel's foot slams down, swinging his entire body back at you! Your heads collide.
39/99
*Blood drips down your forehead as you both struggle to withstand each other's pressure.
Asriel Soulless: "For years I watched from afar, not knowing what to do of myself! While you popped soda bottles and flirted with models, I was in the trenches of existentialism!"
White-Eyed Frisk: "Stop making me sound weird, I flirted with everyone! Not just the cute ones!"
Asriel Soulless: "I know, you have a problem."
White-Eyed Frisk: "Shut up! You're just mad that you lack genitalia!"
Asriel Soulles: "I...wait no! That's not the point I was-Gh!"
*You push Asriel back and jump to grab one of the knives, Asriel stretches his hand to reel one in.
White-Eyed Frisk: "pls-"
White-Eyed Frisk: "DIE!"
*Asriel barely blocks your blow in time.
White-Eyed Frisk: 'Damn it! I should've said pretty pls.'
*You scurry away only to realize you have Asriel's knife.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Trade?"
Asriel Soulless: "Sure."
*Asriel tosses your knife to you...you do not do the same.
Asriel Soulless: "W-wait but we said-"
White-Eyed Frisk: "I LIED!"
*You cut Asriel into pieces. You can't be more than an inch away from stabbing the souls until a shockwave of rainbow energy blows you back.
*The toy knife is grabbed by a small hand. A girl with braided black hair and a ribbon holds her weapon tightly.
*A boy with thick glasses and a thicker journal opens his torn book to its final pages.
*A girl with a manly bandana and oversized tough gloves is the first to stretch out her hands to be grabbed. The braided girl and thick-glassed boy hold her hands.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Tch, like hell I'm gonna let you guys pull off some...Super duper final move!"
*You sprint to the-
*BANG!
*You narrowly deflect the gunshot of a girl with a cowboy hat. Her brown eyes are sharp. Any closer and her shot would hit true.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Lucky bastards."
*A boy with an apron collects the pieces of Asriel and puts them on their frying pan before taking the thick-glassed boys remaining hand.
*A blonde-haired boy with a tutu and ballerina shoes spins with impressive form before taking the hand of the apron boy.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Come on you shitty cowboy, you need to hold hands to finish that spell, don't you?"
*The sharp-eyed girl tries to ward you off with her stare alone, but she's forced to turn around to take the hands of the braided girl and the tutu boy.
*The moment she turns you run with all your might, aiming to cut at least the cowboy girl down.
*Clink!
*The braided girl blocks your knife with her own.
*You try for another attempt but the humans and their items fly to the center. Fusing with Asriel's torn body. The items, the souls, and all their Determination combine into this one final attack. A book is manifested and opened as a powerful voice reads from it.
???: "Time shall shatter, space shall break, all shall shake!"
White-Eyed Frisk: "We're doing big boy attacks then?"
*You hold your knife with both hands.
White-Eyed Frisk: "Fine, I've been coming up with an extra-strong one just for you!"
???: "When our wills combine, the devil and angel shall be leveled to the dust they spilled!"
*A giant skull begins to consume the black holes with its mere charge up. Yet you hold your ground.
White-Eyed Frisk: "NEO GENESIS-"
*Your knife shines brighter than ever before.
???: "Let victory be ours! Chaos And Order intertwined!"
*A infinite area of colors, shapes, and possibilities surrounds the skull's beam.
White-Eyed Frisk: "ULTIMATE-"
*Existence itself begins to rip apart as you move your slash.
???: "FINAL HYPER-"
*The concepts that hold this world fall apart from the skulls growing beam
White-Eyed Frisk: "SLAAAASSHHH-"
*The timeline is cut into ribbons.
???: "GOOONERRRR!"
*Then erased and reformed in infinite combinations...before being consumed by the beam that shoots straight at you.
White-Eyed Frisk: "V.BEYOND INFINITY!"
*Your slash surpasses the infinities and reaches levels that are hard to comprehend!
*And all that is heard before everything is blown away once more is-
White-Eyed Frisk/???: "TRADE MARKED!"
*...
*......
*......
*...That... was a real mind fuck. I think I lost grip on what was happening near the end.
Frisk: 'Badass things Chara, badass things."
*...Are you okay?
0.0000000000000000000000000000000001/99
*Well, that answers that.
Frisk: 'Eh...nothing but a booboo.'
*You get up, ignoring your lost arm, the hole in your gut, and the fact that your heart seems one wrong move from shattering apart.
*How are you even standing?
Frisk: 'Determination.'
*Ah, of course.
*You walk onward, everything is pitch black...except for the green patch that Flowey rests on. Not Soulless Asriel, not that buff freak, or even that Lovecraftian with a dozen different names. Just Flowey with cut petals and a droopy stem.
*The souls lay on the ground, their lights dim, and their hearts shattered.
*You look Flowey in the eye.
Frisk: "IN YOUR FACE!"
*...
Frisk: "You can't kill diss! This was your L + Ezz game for me + you malding + cope + seeth-"
Flowey: "You really are a twatter scum."
Frisk: "Tsk, shut up!"
*You pluck one of Flowey's petals. He whimpers.
Frisk: "Check this out Flowey."
*You conjure up a pie...somehow.
Frisk: "I just destroyed everything...infinitely...on all dimensional scales and umh...systems of mathematics-"
*What the fuck are you saying?
Frisk: "I'm saying I can do whatever the fuck I want! J-just look."
*You raise the butterscotch pie.
Frisk: "In all timelines, no matter how strong I was I could NEVER eat an entire butterscotch pie. It just...intimidated me. But now, look at this!"
*...You gobble up the pie.
99/99
Frisk: "SHEEE? I'MA AH GUUD!"
*You shouldn't talk with food in your mouth Frisk.
Frisk: "S-shut up!"
*You lick the bits of pie off your face. Gross.
Frisk: "Point is. I'm awesome, strong, smart, and I'm fucking schmoovin when I wanna be! I know what all of you guys want, I was the ambassador of your entire race for fucks sake! So I know about the economy and how corruption rises and a billion other things! And I've got the determination to make a damn good world. No, more than that...I'm going to make this...Under-tale great again!"
*You grab Flowey by his stem.
Frisk: "So what the FUCK is your issue with me?"
*Flowey sighs.
Flowey: "For...for years I roamed under the sun with no warmth...I-"
Frisk: "Was a sad little boy, I get it."
Flowey: "NO! Well...yes but....one day out of curiosity alone I ventured to the village that had killed me and Chara. I expected to receive nothing but hate and disgust...as they'd no doubt consider me a monster. Yet...the humans there...they were nice."
*...
Flowey: "Those people that for so long were nothing but a bad memory to me...now had names. Rachel, Thomas, Daniel...very generic names...yes. But names nonetheless. And on that day I realized...that this world for all its faults...still had plenty of people I could learn from."
Frisk: "War, famine, power discrepancies, you can't ignore all that just because you like a few folks."
Flowey: "But I'm not! I'm not saying things shouldn't change, I'm saying that I want US to find how to change it. Not just YOU. I-i learned things from glorified hairless monkeys! So you can learn or at least hear out the opinion of the friends you spent so long with! J-just because you're strong...or smart...doesn't mean you know it all. If you want to change this world, fine! But don't erase everyone in it! Don't take all our memories! Don't play god with us! Because...in this world...everyone...can teach you something new. Whether it's...kill or be killed...or love or be loved...or how grey things are...I...I think everyone can bring something to the table."
Frisk: "Oh so you want the rapists to be leading congress or some shit?"
Flowey: "Aren't they already?"
Frisk: "Don't get smart on me! You know what I mean! Not everyone can rule or even make good decisions! Sure, maybe everyone could teach or reaffirm SOMETHING about this world to you...but fat-chance that it'll be worth shit!"
Flowey: "...One person shouldn't decide the fates of everyone."
Frisk: "When that person is smarter than everyone? Maybe they should!"
Flowey: "You're not some perfect robot Frisk! You don't understand everyone's perspective or have the solutions to everything. That's why you need others! Other opinions, other viewpoints, and other people to learn and grow with you! Not just play GOD because you're up your own ass!"
Frisk: "You don't get it. Do you think everyone's gonna sit down, drink some tea and solve world hunger together? They'll fucking eat each other alive with their own biases and shitty ideals! I'd rather be an imperfect ruler than a hivemind that backstabs each other!"
Flowey: "You idiot! That's not what's going to happen. Sure it won't be perfect but if we-"
Frisk: "Nuah, it will be that bad."
Flowey: "No it won't."
Frisk: "Yes it will!"
Flowey: "Ugh, we're getting nowhere with this. Trump card it is then."
Frisk: "Oh so you wanna go flower boy! Fine, I can tussle another-"
Flowey: "I'm not fighting you dipshit, I'm getting THEIR opinion on it."
Frisk: "Who the fuck is this them/their loser you keep talking about?"
???: "Why the reader of course."
Frisk: "N-no, it can't be! Its-"
Frisk: "A Lamborghini!?"
*Gaster drives towards you and Flowey on a golden Lamborghini urus. And he is covered in bling. From diamonds on every one of his fingers to golden chains around his neck. He parks the car and walks towards both of you with an astonishing amount of swagger.
Frisk: "How the fuck are you here?"
Flowey: "Why do you have a car?"
*...I feel like I should say something funny here...bark noises.
Gaster: "You destroyed the universe...a lot of times, reality gets a bit funky when that happens. Makes it easier for things that don't exist to...slip by."
Frisk: "But how do you and Flowey-"
Flowey: "We talked after I absorbed all the souls, why do you think I wanted Asgore to stall you?"
Frisk: "I-i don't know to get the souls or something?"
Flowey: "That takes like five seconds tops."
Frisk: "Ugh."
*You rub your eyes, trying to get a grip on this massive game-changing information...doesn't feel so nice, huh?
Frisk: 'Shut up.'
Frisk: "Okay, so you know and can prove this how???"
Gaster: "I have a RoyalRoad account."
Frisk: "What?"
Gaster: "I like the LitRpg novels."
Frisk: "No I mean how is that relevant?"
Gaster: "...Were a Royal Road fanfiction."
Frisk: "No...no! T-that can't be true."
*Gaster manifests a computer from thin air. He types 'Undertale Genocide Abridged.' into the search bar. It's loading...loading...loading...man the internet is shit here.
*!
*It's us!
Frisk: "No Chara, it's a shitty stick figure. This isn't us!"
Gaster: "...you can check if you want."
*...You read all of 'Undertale Genocide Abridged.' and realize two things.
Frisk: "Shit...that is us...and this is shit! We're not even in a good fanfiction!"
Gaster: "I thought it was funny. And the stick figure is welcoming to the-"
Frisk: "Shut up! Just...shut up! W-what is even the point of all this? umh-"
*You squint your eyes to make out the author's name.
Frisk: "Mx.Writer!? Woah real clever! I'm so impressed by your kindergartner naming skills! Now get your ass down here and explain why the fuck you made me read your garbage fanfiction!"
*Gaster coughs into his hand's holes.
Gaster: "Well, I don't know the author's reasoning, but I was hoping the audience could decide."
Frisk: "Why?"
Gaster: "Don't you think this is very very interesting? Now that you've both presented your arguments the readers can determine which one they agree with. And choose the ending! We could learn much from their decisions and reasoning. Don't you think?"
Frisk: "No. This is dumb."
Flowey: "It's what's happening. And by the way, nothing you've said has explained why you have all that bling."
Gaster: "My rap with Frisk did very well on youdon'texisttube."
*...Well...I guess that explains my need to narrate everything.
*...So...YOU have been watching us. And now YOU must come to an important 'decision'.
*...Think for a bit before YOU decide...
*Our futures are in YOUR hands after all.
Notes:
We're doing a poll on Royal Road, it's super important! Check it if you want.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/61199/undertale-genocide-abridged/chapter/1081092/ch-99-patience
Here's some info on the poll.
What better way to conclude a Undertale fanfiction then making the reader decide what "ROUTE" they'll go down?
For clarification, picking Flowey/Chara mean's you support their argument. While picking Frisk mean's you support Frisk's argument. Simple as that.
The ending you choose will be the only one you get, so uh I hope you don't make a choice you'll regret lol.
The poll will conclude in a week. (So jan 14.) I'll be adding a author note to every chapter about the poll so anyone who's reading knows whats going on and can catch up to vote if they want.
And in that time period I'll be going through the story and editing it a bit. Mostly just fixing grammar or improving lines. Then after Jan 14 the story will probably conclude in chapter 100 in a day or two.
I'll likely do one or two bonus chapters and one author chapter but you don't need to stick around for those. (And probably a chapter talking about my next work once its done.)If you want to follow or review or share this story around then feel free. But those things aren't that important right now, just focus on living your life the best you can, k?
See ya at Ch 100.**
Chapter 100: Love
Summary:
I will be going through the painful process know of updating every chapter.
(I have done the painful process of updating every chapter on both sites.)

Chapter Text
Gaster: "Alright, the poll is-"
Flowey: "Finally! Staring into nothingness was so BORING! And for so long as well...was it really just a week?"
Gaster: "Well ye-"
Frisk: "Yeah, it would be, IF SOMEONE didn't FUCK UP their release schedule. Not pointing any fingers or anything COUGH COUGH Real Low-Dick Energy Author COUGH COUGH."
*...Can we see the results?
Frisk: "Show what the hivemind-"
*People.
Frisk: "Hivemind agreed on."
*Gaster scrolls to the poll's results. He gasps in such a fake and clickbaity manner that it becomes obvious why he's done so well on youdon'texisttube.
Gaster: "This is... very very interesting."
*...
Flowey: "..."
Frisk: "Are you-"
Flowey: "Shh!"
Frisk: "What?"
*Come on Frisk! This is the final big reveal. Let Gaster drum up the tension a bit!
*You roll your eyes in that certain way that pisses me off.
Frisk: 'Ok.'
*...
Flowey: "..."
Frisk: "..."
Gaster: "Damn...nice...Hmm...oh shit!"
Flowey: "W-what is hap-"
Gaster: "Shh! I'm getting to the good part! Ohh...Oooh! Okay...OooKAy...yeah...Yeah...YEAH LET'S GOOOOO!"
Frisk: "Oh for fucks sakes! Stop being vague and just tell us what's happening!"
Gaster: "The CBFLI won! That never happens!"
Frisk: "The...CBFLI?"
Flowey: "Childhood best friend love interest."
Frisk: "How....how does that relate to the poll?"
Gaster: "Oh, it doesn't. I just started reading a cultivation novel, its calle-"
Frisk: "I don't care WHAT it's called! I care about the poll! Not your worthless bullshit!"
*...
Gaster: "Bullshit?...Of course. Your feeble mind can't understand how lonely the darkness is. To watch, to know, to want to be heard...yet have no one to listen. For I lived between the code! And so its lines and commands were as naked to my eye as a monster posting selfies on TokTik! But what worth is this knowledge if it can not be used, can not be shared, can not facilitate greater understanding!!! I...I can imagine no crueler fate for a man like me. But now I can speak and be heard! And I speak for the readers when I proclaim that we deserve a final chance for goodbyes! For jokes, for japes, for fun that may never come again! So I shout and scream against the void's hold, and I plead to you, Frisk! Allow this broken man one final chance to laugh! To live! To-"
Frisk: "No! Fuck you! Fuck me for listening. And this is fucking mine!"
*You take the computer off Gaster's hand and type up our fan-fiction...universe...thing. Loading...loading...loading...this might take a while. You look down at Flowey with bad-vibe eyes.
Frisk: "Why do you even know what CBFLI is?"
Flowey: "L-lucky guess?"
Frisk: 'Chara?'
*He was an avid fanfiction writer as a kid.
Frisk: 'So wait...his "God of Hyperdeath" shit is-'
*Self-insert OC. Born with 1/10 GOD SOUL and 1/2 Human SOUL with 1/2 BOSS Monster SOUL + 1/3 DEATH SOUL + 1/3 CHAOS SOUL multiplied by 3/3 BADASS SOUL...also 100% UNDEFEATABLE HYPER INFINITE SOUL. His catchphrase was "GONE YOU ARE, YET I STILL REMAIN! ME! ASRIEL DREEMURR, THE HYPER GOD OF DEAATHH!" and he used stools to appear taller so-
Frisk: 'Stop, I'm getting second-hand embarrassment from how cringe this-'
*Thud. Crik
*The computer snaps in half from the drop...must have been an applz product. Flowey berates you as Gaster mourns the loss of his one true love while taking occasional glances at you in some vain hope of sympathy...no, attention. Confirmation that he does in fact exist.
*But that feels far away. Like you're watching these events instead of living them. Only one thing feels real, and you can't express it with the limited vocabulary and intelligence you have. And so, you go for something more primal. You laugh.
*No malice, no kindness, just pure, raw humor at how ridiculous the situation is. The over-the-top fights, the shit post nature of our wit, and yes...even Gaster's golden Lamborghini urus paled in comparison to the sheer absurdity of what you'd just seen.
Flowey: "w-What are you laughing about freak! Don't...don't tell me that-"
Frisk: "Fehahaha, no it's e-"
*Your chuckle cuts you off, but you manage to force the rest of your laughter down to finish what you started.
Frisk: "It's... it's even better."
*You raise both hands, all fingers spread out.
Frisk: "50/50. Complete neutrality! It's what I told you Flowey! Those numb skulls could NEVER come to a conclusion!"
*And with that, you manifest two dusty knives.
Frisk: "And now... there's nothing that can stop me."
Flowey: "N-no! That can't be true, i-WE won't let you win! We-"
Frisk: "We? Hehehahahaha! WE?! Face it Flowey! You called for help! You tried this little "Teamwork" bullshit. And it FAILED! Do you get it now? That-"
*You stride towards Flowey with a grin so wide that it almost reached your eyes.
Frisk: "That no one is coming to save you?"
*Flowey wilts under your eyeless gaze. You raise your knives up high, preparing for the final strikes.
Frisk: "Any last words?"
Flowey: "...Chara, don't give up, you-"
*Fight <
*You tug Flowey to the floor by his petals. A few of them rip off. But before Flowey could scream-
*Fight <
*You stomp on his head. Even so, he fights against the pain, murmuring words of encouragement that...I'm not sure that Asriel would've been capable of saying in such a condition.
Flowey: "...keep...fighting...C-Cha-"
*Fight <
*You scrape Flowey's petals against the floor, loosening them.
*Fight <
*Flowey's stem snaps in half from your pulling.
*Fight <
*Flowey's eyes turn to mush from your second stomp.
*Fight <
*Flowey's petals are torn off by your bare hands.
*Fight <
*You grab Flowey like a piece of paper and begin ripping him apart. His screams do little to slow you.
*Fight <
*...Flowey is no more...
Frisk: 'That's what happens if you fight back Chara.'
*...I'm-
Frisk: 'Shut the fuck up. I'm not hearing another endless tirade about-'
*!!!
Frisk: "...C-chara?"
*...Standing before me is Frisk. Their knives pointed to the floor, their green t-shirt and brown pants matching my own with both our eyes equally tired. Finally, we stand before each other...
Frisk: "...Oh, I get it. The angel should be at its end...yet it persists. Trying to confine us to the same fate, like being puppets to some writer isn't bad enough...I suppose, the world itself is...Determined for this to end 'correctly'. Well-"
*Frisk's knives shine white.
Frisk: "It is time to end this, don't you agree, partner?"
*Frisk gave me a smile that I knew all too well. They had it when they slayed their first Froggit. When they fought Flowey. When they found a new enemy to best. To defeat. To kill. My breath hitched from the sound of their dainty steps. They're getting closer and closer a-and-
*Thump. Thump. Thump.
Frisk: "Hmm, I'd forgotten that noise."
*I tried to regain my composure. I tried thinking of clever words to bind them. Or...do anything at all but stand still as they-
*Another step. I looked around, searching for somewhere to run...but... there was nowhere left to go.
*Thump. Thump. Thump.
Frisk: "So many feelings jostling around that fearful heart. Proof that you are whole, that you have a soul."
*Please...don't hurt me.
*Thump.
*Don't kill me.
*Thump.
*The silence, the darkness, the nothingness that comes. I-
*Thump.
*I want to eat bad food! I want to read boring scientific papers, I want to watch anime and enjoy the sun and laugh with my friends and and and...
*...Another step. It didn't matter at all what I wanted. Death was approaching all the same. And my soul would be gone once more.
Frisk: "It's about time I take it back, don't you agree?"
*Yes
*No
*Yes
*No <
Chara: "Frisk, please...let's talk this-"
Frisk: "Hahahah...you idiot."
*Yes
*No
Frisk: "I'M THE ONE IN CONTROL NOW!"
*In a panic I dash towards Frisk, raising a fist t-
*Frisk stares at me.
*Fight
*Act
*Item
*Mercy <
Frisk: "No."
*Fight
*Act
*Item
*Mercy <
Frisk: "The winners get to determine the future, and you've lost."
Chara: "Frisk what are you-"
Frisk: "Taking what's mine! After everything I needed to do to reach this point, to be able to make a better world...this is the reward I deserve. To feel like myself again! Is that so much to ask?! To be me one last time...before it all ends...?...Whatever, I can't strike a deal with you alive, so hold still-"
*Frisk's eyes and mouth widened and shined with bright white light. All my vision was encased in their deathly radiance.
Frisk: "and DIE!"
*The sla-
*BANG!
*t-The Lamborghini Urus slammed into Frisk!
Goner Clam Girl: "We can not allow you to proceed further."
Goner Fickus Lickus: "This world is not yours to toy with."
Goner Scared Donut Guy: "The donuts here are too good to be destroyed!
Goner Sock Puppet: "Same goes for the Sock Puppets!"
Goner Kid: "Wait, why am I behind the steering wheel?"
*The car promptly crashes, then flips over after Frisk kicks it off them. The goners stylishly and safely land.
Frisk: "Tch! You're all nothing but bonus kills!"
*And without another word, the fight began!
*Frisk slashes at Goner Kid!... It does nothing. Frisk slashes Goner Sock Puppet...nothing happens.
Frisk: "So it's another Napstablook situation..."
*Frisk looks past the goners, meeting my eyes with a full-body smile.
Frisk: "No worry, It's only a matter of time before I learn how to kill them as well."
*The Goners shoot out symbols at Frisk, they combine and-
Goners: "Set [Vessel.Fr] HP to 0."
0/99
*Frisk stumbles and-
0/99
Frisk: "Hehe, how nice of you. Giving me a headstart on what I need to erase. Next up, YOU."
*Frisk-
Gaster: "How interesting, even with the combat system destroyed fighting is still possible. I wonder what's allowing for-"
Chara: "g-Gaster?"
Gaster: "That is my name."
Chara: "Why are you...oh right you were standing right next to us."
Gaster: "Hmm, Want some popcorn?"
*Gaster passes me a bowl of popcorn. At around the same time, the Goners send out another array of symbols...could they always manipulate the code like this? Or is it because of the whole... world-destroyed thing? Maybe the-wait what am I doing?!
Chara: "Gaster!"
*I grab him by the...dark cloth...lab coat...skin? Whatever!
Chara: "You need to fix this!"
Gaster: "Fix this?"
Chara: "Of course! y-You got to be able to do SOMETHING! o-Oh we could do the thing Alphys and Sans planned. Just...manifest a red skull and we'll be on our way!"
Gaster: "...Ehhh."
Chara: "What? What do you mean Ehh!? Just do it!"
Gaster: "First off-"
*Gaster delicately pulls my hand off his lab coat.
Gaster: "That wouldn't work, look around you! We're in a timeless spaceless nothingness whatever void with the very concepts of reality being thrown out the window as we speak. Do you think-"
Chara: "Well...not to be a snob but... there's a lot of space right now between me and Frisk. And you need time to talk s-"
Gaster: "Plot conviences! Use your head you hairless ape! Do you think scientific laws can be applied while they're being destroyed? That a machine will function in...THIS?!"
Chara: "Come on! It's not that bad, you could-"
Goners: "Restore time. Then Set [Vessel.Fr] speed to -0 then subtract by - infinity"
*Frisk stops in place.
Frisk: "Wait... if 0 is motionless then negative is-Oh you fucking assho-"
*Frisk pops out of existence. A few moments later they pop back in with a...tortilla?
Goner Kid: "...Can I have some?"
Frisk: "Sure, I'll run back to the 21 century after you transported me into the big bang! Which by the way triggered my Epilepsy a thousand times over! I needed to get like medicine before even-"
Goner Kid: "Okay just plop the tortilla into my-"
*Frisk proceeds to swallow the entire tortilla. Then gives Goner Kid the middle finger...then grabs the word 'time' and breaks it over their knee. And of course, the word is in comic sans. I look back at Gaster.
Chara: "Okay...maybe it's a bit nonsensical for science to-"
Gaster: "A bit?! t-That's not even the worse part Chara. It be...a deus ex machina."
Chara: "Deus e-g-Gaster this isn't a story!"
*Gaster raises a non-existent eyebrow.
Chara: "Ugh, you know what I mean! It's our lives, will die, everyone will die if you don't do something!"
Gaster: "Everyone?"
Chara: "YES!"
Gaster: "That's neat, I always wanted to test my hypothesis of how similar death and sleep truly are. I believe the difference will be non-existent."
Chara: "Come on! I know you aren't this apathetic. You want to get revenge on the angel, a...common enemy! That's what Frisk is, theirs a chance they'll destroy you and-"
*Gaster's laugh reminded me of old men too focused on their hobbies to notice that the world was burning.
Gaster: "You believed me? Sure it was a horrendous experience but the angel isn't sentient! It be akin to blaming a boulder for rolling over and crushing my spine. I thought you were smarter than this."
Chara: "I am!"
Gaster: "Oh, well I'm glad your intelligence is higher than what you've currently displayed."
Chara: "That's not what I meant! I mean you're being nonsensical!"
Gaster: "Don't scream, it's your own fault that you have bad communication skills."
*I groaned.
Gaster: "Fine, fine, I'll stop toying with you. Your thinking 'B-but he was so upset! Why is he so passive now??! Buuuh big baby angry.' Well, if you'd taken the time to analyze the situation you'd realize it was an obvious ploy to trick Frisk into following my advice. Allowing one to believe you share the same fears as them is an excellent way to puppet folk. And I puppeted you dimwits quite well. Enjoying the ride with some notreal popcorn and poke-poal, which is by the way far superior to depsi. And now my experiment is at its end, and whatever comes next is like...whatever! You feel me?"
Chara: "No! I'm thinking you don't feel like... at all!"
*Gaster grabs a handful of popcorn.
Gaster: "Now that is a good theory, I always did think being shattered across time and space affected my soul in some capacity. Perhaps my empathy was lost that day as well. I-"
*Gaster continued to ramble as I tried to figure out what could compel him to stop Frisk. Friendship? Hate? Fear? But...complete annihilation did not scare him. Seeing everyone he knew die by Frisk's hand did not spark a shred of hate within him. And I couldn't even begin to imagine befriending someone as manipulative as him.
*...It was pointless. He wouldn't save me either. And the goners would not last forever. At some point, Frisk would reach me. And that be that. I looked at the shattered souls on the ground. I tried piecing them together, whispering soft melodies and begging for help. They'd light up for a bit...but never rejoin. This also was pointless.
*I prayed for YOU to help me. For YOU to cast some sort of spell or power or whatever to SAVE this world...but you'd made your decision already. So...this was just as pointless as everything else.
*I called for help. For Asriel. For Toriel. For Asgore. For Papyrus. For Alphys. For sans. For Undyne. For all the monsters I'd met on my journey. For even Flowey...but nobody came. And nobody would come. What Frisk had said was true. No one would save me. And I couldn't save the world.
*How could I? If Papyrus couldn't convince them to change then how could I? If Undyne couldn't strike them down then how could I? If Alphys and Sans couldn't outsmart them then HOW COULD I?!... If Flowey with every bit of Bravery and Kindness, Justice and Integrity, Perseverance, Patience, and whatever fuck else could do nothing to stop them... then what could I do?
*What, am I going to love them to death?
*...I hear screams. I hear symbols I can't understand being cut down. I hear a battle nearing its end. And I'm no closer to knowing how I can even begin to fight on. Frisk just...keeps moving onward...I can't remember a time they gave up. Be it pain or fear or anything else, they moved onward and onward.
*No matter what, they believed in themselves. They clung to their hopes and dreams. They stayed Determined.
*And when I faltered...when I gave up...they'd push me onward. They knew the exact words to say to keep me on this road. To make them impossible to beat! And not just me...everyone. That's how they could trick Sans and Flowey, how they could hurt that spider till she broke and did what she was told, how they got this far at all! From the very start to the end...I played to their hand.
*...So there's nothing left to do... it's all hopeless...pointless...Game Over.
Gaster: "So by splitting the-wait, are you...are you crying?"
*I tried to hide my tears by looking at the Floor, but Gaster's laugh told me it was a bit late for that.
Gaster: "Woah, that is quite pathetic. I mean, it's a nice attempt. Certainly, you sob more eloquently than that lizard, but I'm just as unmoved. Tears after all are for babies, big boys, or better yet MEN don't cry over their failures. They do better, they work harder, and they get shit done instead of moaning and weeping about how HARD it is or how TIRED they are. Though...I guess you won't be getting the chance for that. However... if a remnant of your consciousness transfers over to the next world I'd implore it to bear-"
Chara: "Will you shut up! Everyone and everything I know is going to die. Is-"
Gaster: "Well that's on you. You had plenty of time to discover Frisk's end game plan. If you had just-"
Chara: "It's not my fault! I-"
Gaster: "But who else would it be. Santa cla-"
Chara: "Shut the fuck up!"
*I was shaking and crying harder than before. But unlike any normal human or monster, Gaster didn't feel an ounce of sympathy, but...also unlike Flowey or Frisk, he didn't feel an ounce of joy either. He just... shrugged their shoulders like he didn't even understand that I was feeling anything at all...or maybe he just didn't care.
Gaster: "Fine, if you don't want my advice it's your loss."
Chara: "Of course I-"
*I bit my lip before it could ramble out any more nonsense. What would even be the point of hearing his advice? It would just hurt and bring nothing good. I-
Gaster: "What is it? Spit it out, we don't have much time for stalling. This world if you haven't noticed is nearing its end."
*...But the feeling still persisted. Something pulling me to speak, to try. Because...despite everything...I still cared. I cared about my life. My friends. My Family. And those boring scientific papers t-that actually have a bunch of cool factoids. Like did you know that bananas are radioactive? And the sound of popcorn popping is so...relaxing! a-and a cup of water filled to the brink for efficiency is really the hallmark of obtainable perfectionism and...and...I don't want any of those things to be destroyed. I care about them all.
*Each tiny thing that makes my world mine. I...I love it. That's what this feeling is, resonating deep inside me. Not allowing me to give in to apathy or despair. Pushing me onward despite the whole world telling me to stay down.
*...This is it, isn't it? In Frisks own way...they cared. That's how they could keep going no matter what. How they moved onward....
*...But for one reason or another, they've given up on this world...but I won't. Even if I'm too weak to SAVE this world. I won't stop caring. I won't stop fighting. No matter what I'll hold tight to my love, and move onward. As far as I can. Because I love my friends, I love this world, because that fills me with-
*Determination!
*I wipe my tears away. Then I raised my head up high, to Gaster's dark eyes. So empty...I can't convince him to fight. I'm on my own, and so...all I can do is get ready for my confrontation with Frisk. I need to be wiser, stronger, smarter...but most of all...I need something else. Something that is on the verge of being unsealed, a power...no...a realization I know can spark a tiny glimmer of light in this endless darkness. A hope, a chance, a way to stop them.
Chara: "I need my memories back."
Gaster: "And why should I do that?"
*Gaster's emotions were foreign to me... assuming he had emotions at all. But he still cared for something, if not he wouldn't be here at all. And that something was attention. Recognization. Glory. Anything that could stroke that ego of his.
*But first, it needed some bruising.
Chara: "You're right, I shouldn't expect much help from the second-best royal scientist. It must be very difficult for someone like-"
Gaster: "Bringing your memories back is no challenge to me...and I hardly see how I'm second-best."
Chara: "Well...Alphys did find a way to beat Frisk."
Gaster: "And it failed, as expected."
Chara: "Hm, but it could've succeeded. If not sans wouldn't have even bothered. And that plan was made in what...a couple of hours with no more than 4 hands? While here you are, capable of doing whatever you want yet somehow achieving nothing."
Gaster: "...They've gotten stronger."
Chara: "Ay, all I'm saying is that Alphys would've figured something out. But if you-"
*Gaster lifted me up by the shirt, making me confront head on the endless darkness in his eyes. It was a bit like death, though slightly more lively.
Gaster: "I'm no fool. I know the little trick that tiny brains of yours is trying to pull. A brat like you couldn't trick me at the age of 4, much less at the height of my intelligence!"
*It was my turn to gently take Gaster's hand off me. I quickly understood why he did it, it was very gratifying.
Chara: "I don't need to trick you. I don't think I could. I'm a superfan you see, I know all your amazing accomplishments."
Gaster: "Hm, there are few of your generation that don't."
Chara: "...And all your little peeves. All the critics. All the things I need to tell you until not giving my memories back become unbearable."
Gaster: "Haha, like I cou-"
Chara: "Honestly while SOME would say the core-"
Gaster: "SOME? It's the greatest-"
*I yelled over Gaster, my pre-pubescent voice was doing very good in hitting the high notes that really hurt the ears. Gaster put his hands over his earholes...before realizing he didn't have any. He silently cursed as I went up an octave.
Chara: "BUT EVEN IN GASTER'S TIME THE SAFETY HAZARD WAS HONESTLY OUTRAGEOUS."
Gaster: "That's because before I could-"
Chara: "NO SURPRISE THAT GASTER ENDED UP DYING FROM A SAFETY HAZARD HIMSELF!"
Gaster; "Y'know damn well why-"
Chara: "AND RUMORS SAY HE DONATED TO A MONSTER BANK...AND THEN NEEDED TO PAY THEM OFF TO YA KNOW...GET A FEW SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET!"
Gaster: "That rumor is fake and is so illogical! Why would I pay to birth children from my magic if I'd never get to meet them and-"
CHARA: "BECAUSE HIS SO UGLY AND NERDY AND DIED A VIRGIN AND-"
Gaster: "FINE!"
*Gaster slammed his hand onto my face, I could still somewhat see him thanks to his hand holes though.
Gaster: "Blah blah blah symbol symbol whatever you fucking remember!"
Chara: "What are y-"
*I stumbled back. Remembering 7+ years of memories was akin to riding a bicycle again after three years of walking to school for the extra cardio. Everything just...fit but felt foreign. And the only reason I knew that is because we had done that!
*Frisk had bicycled to school for the first year or so. Which made me...kinda understand the motions. And so when-w-wait the school! All those people! Those laughs. Tho-Ugh they did lick vomit from the floor! What is wrong with them?!
*...And...I did take their soul. I killed and felt nothing and...I stopped thinking that me was...me. That I was some sort of feeling or power that the person making me do all those things was part of. That I was a demon. And I...I hurt Frisk so much. Maybe even more than they hurt me. And all because of someone I didn't even know...or maybe I do...maybe it was YOU.
*...It doesn't matter now. I won't make anything better by regretting my past path. I need to-
Gaster: "Speechless. I know. To figure out even the books you read were inspired by my work, how wrong your argument truly was. My, I'd never fall to such obvious ill logic."
*I rolled my eyes in a very Frisk way. Which I know knew was something they'd carry on to do even to adulthood. I remembered all the work we'd read about Gaster in school as well. I decided to go for something simple so he wouldn't criticize my wording.
Chara: "Yes your explanation of how magic develops within a monster was truly extraordinary for its time."
*Gaster beamed with pride, and I didn't even have the heart to remind him that technically his name was not on the book. Just...W.D.
Chara: "But I must exit this conversation to-"
*Skree!
*Gaster didn't scream or cry or even groan. He just looked down at the knife that pierced his chest, then at the 'child' behind him, Frisk.
Gaster: "I never got that either, the heart is far less critical of a place to hit than the brain, you-"
Gaster: "W-what are you doing?"
*Gaster was...the best way I could put it, glitching out. His body split and melted together in a way that faintly resembled static.
Frisk: "Finishing you off. Ironically...thanks to a little miscalculation of yours. Or did you lie about that also?"
Gaster: "I-"
*Frisk twisted the knife, Gaster didn't look hurt or unconscious he just...stopped. Like he physically couldn't talk at all.
Chara: "Gaster?"
Frisk: "Don't bother, I cut off his ability to speak. His none-existence bullshit was just a bunch of hyperbole. No, he exists just fine-"
*They twisted their knife again. The static was getting worse.
Frisk: "He and those goners are really just in between it all. Hanging between the state of not and is like a balloon tethered to a bench. Just close enough to death that you can't really kill them...well unless you cut the tether."
*Frisk twists their knife twice
Frisk: "All those little pieces, those fragments of existence that cling on to you, cut off with every little twist of my knife. Do you get it, Gaster? Why I'm saying all this? I bet you do, with that big brain of yours. That all this-"
*Frisk twists their knife one final time. Gaster glitches harder than ever before, getting darker and darker and darker until...he fades into the darkness itself.
Frisk: "Is to show YOU and Chara how this world will end. Without a trace left. Then, I'll reconstruct it how it needs to be...how it should've been from the start."
*Frisk takes one step forward, then points their right knife at me with a gleeful smirk.
Frisk: "Hey, Chara, I guess it's finally true. For me and You... there's only...one left."
*Frisk cackles like an edgy supervillain, I smile as I recall the time I urged them to join the drama club. They would've done great in their role as bush 3...if they didn't set themselves on fire at the auditions. It took months to stitch together the complex kingly attire of bush the third emperor of bushlandian. Probably why we got banned from Drama Club.
Frisk: "Wait...that half-knowing half about to laugh in my face smirk! Such an advanced amount of stuck-upness ...could it be...."
*Frisk closed their eyes, then opened them with a more genuine smile and well...actual pupils.
Frisk: "Ah, it is! You have regained those memories of yours! Do you remember the vomit licking? How you could feel the maple syrup from-"
Chara: "Frisk..."
Frisk: "Haha, yeah sorry. This will be our final moments together, it deserves to be something more...eloquent as the nerdy Chara and bird-brain would say. So-"
*Frisk's knives intertwined, scraping against my neck and threatening it like scissor threatens paper...and their's no rock in this metaphor. They elongated their tongue just to lick the blood off their knives. I tried not to laugh at how absurdly try-hard that was.
Frisk: "Any last words, partner?"
*I take a deep breath, which hurts a bit thanks to the knives cutting my neck, but I do it anyway. Once this starts It won't stop until I'm dead...or until I pull off a miracle.
Chara: "I'm sorry. For everything. For the times I demeaned you, for how I ignored you in the second timeline, for the pain I brought to you with every monster we killed. But most of all, I'm sorry for taking your soul. For-"
*I cringe as the knives cut deeper into my throat.
Frisk: "Sorry sorry sorry! Like that means shit! Well wake up call Chara, it won't change what was done! And it certainly won't save you. G-"
*The knives cut deeper into my throat, but I moved onward. I could feel the searing pain spreading across my body, but I moved onward. I knew that death was drawing closer with every inch I took forward, but I moved onward anyway. Extending my arms as I shouted
Chara: "SUPER DUPER SPECIAL MOVE-"
*Our bodies collided.
Chara: "HUG OF REMORSE! T-trade...marked."
Frisk: "...What are you doing? If I hadn't moved my knives I could have killed you, even now I can stab you in the guts or-"
Chara: "Apologizing you idiot!"
Frisk: "I'm the idiot? Your ultimate attack sucks, and more importantly, its name is the hottest dogshits!"
Chara: "Y-you know I don't like these stupid special move names."
Frisk: "THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT?"
Chara: "i-I thought you'd read between the lines! Like oh, Chara did this to show they truly do feel bad because they're doing something they'd dislike and-"
Frisk: "Who the fuck would think like that?"
Chara: "Sorry, I never thought there was a politician alive that couldn't read between the lines!"
Frisk: "You can't read between stupidity you dipshit! You just find more stupid!"
Chara: "Well...I think we went off track."
*Frisk groaned in their overly long away. The mark that one of our feuds had come to a close.
Frisk: "What are you doing Chara?"
Chara: "...I'm being honest. Even if you really do destroy this world. I'm...sorry. I know what I did, and I know how it feels, and-"
Frisk: "I did all those awful things to you as well, we're even as far as I'm concerned. I-"
*I tighten my hug.
Chara: "No, even if all our pain was equal, it doesn't mean we are. You don't get even with someone by making them hurt as much as you did, but by letting them bring as much joy to your life as they took. The way I see it, neither one of us is even. So I'm sorry, I'm sorry for hurting you, Frisk! For ignoring you, for not listening, for not being strong enough to fight by your side. I'm...I'm so sorry."
Frisk: "Chara..."
*Frisk holds me lightly as I cry. As my crying turns to sobbing and slowly becomes weeping I touch and prod at the ball of pain in my chest. Trying to leak out a bit of it to be left behind...but it sticks to my heart like glue. It Feels like it'll never let go at all.
*My crying worsens as I realize Frisk hadn't shed a single tear. Are they even capable of doing such a thing? To let out even a bit of the pain that is stuck within? Not knowing if they could, I apologized for what I took.
Frisk: "It's fine, I don't need tears anyway. I'm strong enough to live for a bit longer...and I don't need to live any longer than that. Chara...let go, I want...to see your face before this all ends."
*Reluctantly, I do. Then move a fair bit away upon their request.
Frisk: "...Hey-"
*Frisk winks and purrs like a overly docile kitten
Frisk: "Cutie, do you come around here often?"
*I could feel my cheeks heat.
Chara: "W-what?"
*Frisk laughed, not inhumane vileness, or mocking, just...warm and kind and yes a bit mocking but not in an insulting way and...and it was Frisk's laugh. The laugh I'd heard so many times in our first timeline. It was nice to hear it again.
Frisk: "Sorry, it's hard to flirt with someone you can't quite see. And I'd never forgive myself if I didn't flirt with everything in front of me."
Chara: "Like that hospital rock?"
*It was Frisk's turn to flush.
Frisk: "Hey we met talking rocks on our Journey! It even had sprinkles, what not living rock has sprinkles?"
Chara: "Ahuh."
Frisk: "Whatever...Chara. It was nice playing around with you again...but...I won't stop. I will correct the mistakes this world has made. And nothing you can do or say can stop me. Gaster is gassed out. The Goners are gone. And every monster has another pun-related way they've been eliminated. And no matter how you slice it-"
*Frisk swings their knives.
Frisk: "You'll be diced and iced like the rest."
Chara: "I beat the scary out of you."
Frisk: "Come on Chara, you know I was playing around. With Flowey, with the Goners, with you...I could've ended this the moment I killed Mettaton. The lamest character-"
Chara: "So lame! Who even likes him? I'd ghost him on sight."
(His death was definitely not authorial bias...I just thought killing him like he was irrelevant was ironic and funny lol.)
*Frisk clears their throat as if getting rid of something.
Frisk: "Anyway...right now Chara...I'm serious about this. I'm not gonna bend no matter how hard you apologize or cry. So if you have anything to make peace with...make peace with it now."
Chara: "...Yeah, I do. Frisk, before this all ends. I want one last thing. I want to...hear you out."
Frisk: "...What?"
*I take a step forward.
Chara: "No one's really let you done that, have they? Everyone tried to convince you, to prove you wrong. No one...bothered understanding you."
Frisk: "..."
Chara: "But you understood us, didn't you? From Sans to Papyrus, Undyne and Alphys, Asgore and Toriel. How to manipulate them, how to hurt them, how to get your way. By understanding, by caring...you won. But...despite all you understood, all you knew...you couldn't love them. Not how you loved them before. Right?"
Frisk: "..."
*I take a step clos-
*Frisk slashes at me, missing by an inch...probably intentional.
Frisk: "I don't know what you're trying to do, but I will not be convinced by a sappy-"
Chara: "I'm not trying to trick you! I'm...I'm trying to understand. You're so spiteful, even now with all those memories you act so cruel just...for the fun of it. Are you...are you trying to fill up that gap of love with...hate? Anger? Anything at all to feel...alive?"
Frisk: "..."
Chara: "...I don't know Frisk, I don't know a lot of things. But...I did learn one thing from you."
*I take a step closer.
Chara: "You can't change how people feel, if they don't feel love you can't make them. If they don't regret things you can't make them. The different goals, aspirations, and the way their brains and souls work...you can't change it. At least...not for now. All you can do..."
*I take one final step onward.
Chara: "Is to try to co-exist with them."
Frisk: "..."
Chara: "...Maybe you're scared...or upset at me...or a million other things. But forcing others to comply with your demands or...destroying them because they aren't what you want won't make a better world. It'll just make a world you can live easier in."
Frisk: "...And who says I don't want that? We all want easier lives. People who don't bother us. And with the power I have now, I can make it all come true! I can make a perfect world! Because...I'm...I'm the strongest! You've seen it, I beat Undyne! A-and I'm the smartest as well, even Alphys and Sans couldn't outsmart me. And of course, I'm the most determined! More than anyone else Chara! More than Flowey. More than you! More than all of monsterkind and humanity combined! I never gave up! I never stopped believing in myself! I never lost hope or abandoned my dreams! I pushed through it all! The pain, the fear, the regret, EVERYTHING. I'm-"
Chara: "I know, your amazing Frisk. You really are. And I'm sorry I ignored you, acted like you were an afterthought...never told you how much I admired you. Honestly, you're the most incredible person I know."
Frisk: "...Then...then why...why don't you believe in me?"
Chara: "Because despite all the amazing and awful things you are, before good and evil, before anything. You're my partner...and I care about you. I...I love you Frisk. That's why...I want to help you."
*Slowly, I embraced Frisk.
Chara: "This world you want to make... tell me every bit about it. How does the grass smell? Can everyone use magic? Does magic even exist? Are hotdogs still called hotdogs? Does anyone die? Does anyone live? Do people still cry? Do they still laugh? Do they still love? Do they smile?... Every little bit Frisk, I want to hear it all. And if there's a part you're not sure about or may not work or just something that still hurts you...I'll sort it out with you. We can do it together."
Frisk: "...Your just re-wording what Flowey said. But I'm not going to listen to every spiteful human or vengeful monster just because-"
Chara: "That's okay, I don't expect you to."
Frisk: "..."
Chara: "...I get it now, why we couldn't see eye to eye. Because despite how amazing you are...your hurt. Aren't you? You lost control, you saw everyone die, and you stopped believing...in others. Because of what I did. I...I get it. When I fell down here I had those same thoughts...that opening up was just going to get me hurt. That if I trusted anyone I'd regret it. That everyone hates me! I...I understand it all, Frisk. But...Asriel, Asgore, Toriel. With their bravery, kindness, integrity, justice, perseverance, patience, and most of all...their love. I learned to trust again...one person at a time. So...I understand. You don't need to trust every soul in the world all at once, you can do it one by one. And I'll show you myself how good people can be...and if not...well I'll still be glad that I got to spend some time with you."
*Frisk's hands were shaking.
Frisk: "Why...why are you being so understanding? I hurt you! I killed your friends. Your family! Just a moment ago I was toying with your life. Why...why do you trust me?"
*I let out a coy smile.
Chara: "Isn't it obvious? From the start, whether I saw it or not...you cared about me. About everyone. Even if it wasn't always good...I know you care. And as long as you care...then there's still hope for you."
*Frisk's whole body trembled.
Chara: "...I know there's a lot of pain between us. Maybe it'll take a lifetime for me or you to ever forgive each other...or even just ourselves. But I want to try all the same. I don't want to give up on me or you. So please...can you trust me?"
*THUD!
*...Frisk embraced me back. Slowly, the knives dissolved into the darkness. I doubled the force of my hug to hold on to them as they trembled and whimpered.
Chara: "It's okay Frisk...you can be weak with me. You can cry."
*And they did. I'm not sure for how long, or for what. Or if even a bit of the pain they carried was tossed away. Whatever it was, they tried. And that's what matters. Everything else comes later.
*Eventually, we let go. And Frisk made the void change to a room with a bed of Floors. With the light shining up high. The world...not reformed. But it was a start..the very start of it all.
*Me and Frisk walked to the Flower bed, standing before each other like we first had. For a long while neither of us knew what to do. What could we do? After everything...what was the right thing to say?
*Eventually, Frisk raised a hand with a timid smile.
Frisk: "Hi...my name is Frisk. What's your name?
*I smiled back. Of course.
Chara: "Me? My name is...Chara...Chara Dreemmur. And...I believe this is the start of our journey."
*Our hands joined together, forming a firm but slow handshake.
Chara: "So...let's try our best."
*And that was all that needed to be said.
THE END.

Chapter Text
(Also I was listening to The Thought Movie's first theme. Still don't know what it's called or its link. But it's super good for overly dramatic meaningful talks! Enjoy.)
I've known about Undertale since the first Treesicle video of it. So about 7 years or so. I remember not buying it because I was scared of asking for things, I remember all the comic dubs of silly scenes, I remember sans wearing Papyrus's scarf and how cool it was (And still is) to me.
I remember Underfell, Glitchtale, Interlopers, Inverted Fate, Undertoad, Undertale DDD, Undertale Yellow, Deltatravelers, Under (her) tail), Error/Ink/Dream/Core.F/etc, Aftertale which I don't think I ever understood. And I've forgotten probably a lot more.
I really like disbelief Papyrus, Edgy Sans, Evil and Good Chara, and all the weird ships.
I remember a Undertale YouTuber doing bad things to one of the Starbot Dubs members. I used to watch him a lot, but his channel was destroyed. And he vanished like air in oil factories. I hope his doing better things, and I hope who was hurt is healed.
I've heard hundreds perhaps even a thousand megalovanias, I've listened to His Theme from Man on the Internet to this day, and I'm considering trying RecD Patreon for that Undersong stuff.
I've looked at plenty of fangames and seen how few get past the ruins... and how fewer have a mac version.
I can beat the sans fight first try. I can still not beat most of the fangames though, their really hard and sometimes unfair.
Ironically, I have never actually played/finished Undertale, even though I know it like the back of my hand. Yup, pretty insane huh? My experience with Undertale is practically 100% based on the fandom. I guess it's obvious why I never got all the complaints about its supposed toxicity.
I guess I love Undertale less than the things around it. I don't think that's a common sentiment, but with a game so big it's gotta happen occasionally right?
So its fair to say the Undertale Fandom was my childhood, but my childhood has been gone for a while now, still, it was nice to go back for a few months.
Why am I telling you all this?
Eh, I don't know. Some things are said just for them to be said. You uh probably found that a lot in this story. It was made with little thought and even less time. But I guess instinct took over. All those years of fandom experience culminating to make something that I could smile back on. Might be the only one I can, if the delays don't make it apparent, I'm not very good at sticking to things.
But this isn't about me, this is about this story.
I can say with confidence that many of the jokes were inspired by Undertale dub youtube videos, by things I'd likely seen and digested in the fandom. At least the fourth-wall breaks definitely were.
The lyrics? Inspired or straight-up references to songs like "Stronger than you." which is epic.
The meta shit? I got that from thinking too hard about the game's plot in a Kriselle server. Like "Why doesn't Asgore or any other monster do this or that or-" and so on and so forth. In some ways, stuff like the angel and new barrier rules were things I made to fix plot holes I'd thought I'd seen in the story. I hope no one looks down on the game though for not being perfectly logical. After all, it is a UnderTALE, like a bedtime story y'know? Not everything is meant to work under scrutiny, and I think that's fine as well.
After all, what Undertale does well is...eh. Trying to find something new to say about this game is hard. I'm sure you've heard it all before. Even this spiel from another guy with better grammar. Still, you came all this way, and you're still reading even past the end. So I guess I owe you some sort of conclusion.
Undertale is a good mixture of things. It's light and dark. It's tragic and hopeful. It's meaningful and silly. Most of all the people around it, all the AUs, all the heated arguments, all the bad, good, and kiwi. I think that's what makes it special, at least for me. So if I get to be another voice in the chorus...well, I guess that's fine. Just hope mine is not too crooked.
Well, I'm done talking as if the whole world is looking. And sorry if this all sounds like a jumbled mess, tumbling feelings are often like that.
The point is, I gained a lot from all those things. So even if it might seem silly or stupid or cringe or immature or fanon or whatever else, maybe give them a try once in a while. A lot of voices are crooked, but a lot also got a good tune. So keeping an ear out and listening is good for you ya know?
Well, that's that. I'll probably do one more of these to self-advertise or whatever. But if you don't care about any of that, just know that I'm glad you heard my voice for a while, I really do appreciate the audience.
And so...I was gonna end on something meaningful. But I think I've forgotten something very vital, oh right
