Chapter 9
"Chara!!" Stayne yelled as she met the young human and the goat monster playing in the garden with their friends. He looked at her and gestured for her to come.
"yes, Stayne?" Stayne pretended to be hurt.
"why are you hanging out with them..? It's clear they hate you.
"hate...me..?"
"CHARA COME ON!! WE WILL NEVER GET TO THE RIVER IF YOU WON'T COME!!" Chara looked lost at her friends then at the boy whispering sweetly in her ear.
"don't you trust me~? i would never leave you..." Chara norrowed her eyes.
"i shall see..."
"FOOLS!! HOW COULD THEY?! THEY PROMISED!!"
"I told you Chara...i am your only friend.."
"They think you are a bad influence or something...Tsk. Wish Frisk was here..."
"But she isn't..she LEFT YOU JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!! Join me, Chara...we can both rule this land..together..."
"SHE WOULDN'T JUST LEAVE ME LIKE THAT!! TORIEL WOULDN'T JUST-- WHAT?!"
"Oh Chara...trust me...they are all~ leaving..Be my Queen..."
"TSK...Stayne...would you ever leave me..?"
"Never..." Chara frowned then she smiled vengfully.
"Then i shall be known...as THE RED QUEEN!!"
"you...you have been lying to her all this time....HOW DARE YOU!!" Frisk yelled. Stayne laughed as the Jabberwocky came closer.
"AND WHAT WILL LITTLE FRISKY DO??" She smirked.
"What will i do indeed...." She says as she leaps onto the Jabberwocky, pulling herself up his scales. He twists and snaps trying to shake her off. He is fumming with rage. She manages to climb up.
"I USED TO BELIEVE IN SIX IMPOSSIBLE THINGS BEFORE BREAKFAST!! And the sixth one is..?" She locks eyes with Stayne as they shine a brilliant light blue.
"I can slay the Jabberwocky...taking you down with it as well!!" She raises the sword as she jumps up. The sword lights on taking on the same color of blue shining in her eyes.
"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!" The beast let's out a pained screetch as the blade cuts off the Jabberwocky’s head. Both Frisk and the head fall at once, the Jabberwocky’s jaws still snapping at her in its death throes. Stayne watches with wide eyes as the girl just killed the dragon. He tries to run but Frisk jumps in the air again landing on the stairs right in front of him.
"Not so fast you fucker..." Stayne smirks.
"IF I AM GOING TO DIE...I AM TAKING YOU WITH ME!!" He slams his sword into the untsable structure.
"WAIT--" But Frisk's plea was left unheard as the whole tower came tumbling down. Dust raising across the chess board. The Jabberwocky’s head rolls a few feet away. Everyone on the battlefield stops as the beast's body falls in the canyon next to the chess board clearing. The dust has finally settled and everyone could see the ruins.
"S-she just killed the Jabberwocky.." Chara says in disbelief. The white Knights cheer as the Red ones drop their weapons down and they all make peace. However...the main worriors of this fight were still searching for something. Where was....Frisk..? The Queen and King looked at each other and so did the others. Sans looked around, sweating bullets. Chara looked around as well. She heard what Frisk and Stayne talked about and was about to apologize for all her foolish acting and actions. Ches sockets went blank.
"where's frisk..?" He asked as everyone looked at the crumbled tower. The Queen gasped as she realized.
"no.." Sans muttered as he must have caught on as well to what was happening. He teleported to the giant reptile's head and looked around. The bricks were gigantic and heavy. A tiny human like her couldn't survive these....Undyne came rushing to his side.
"OUT OF THE WAY!! I CAN LIFT THESE!! NGAHHHH!! DON'T DIE ON US YOU BRAT!!" Chara rushed to their sides alongside the other fighters. Chara looked at Toriel, Asgore and Asriel and knelt down giving her crown to Toriel.
"I, Chara, wish to apologize for everything i have done..i let him infect me and...i..i'm sorry...i'm so so so sorry--" Asriel hugged her.
"shut up..." Everyone stared a second as the four hugged each other when they heard Undyne scream.
"HOLY SHIT!! FRISK!!" The fish monster yelled from somewhere between the giant bricks. Sans eye-lights shot towards the sound and he teleported. He ended up next to Undyne in a small place where the bricks stopped each-other and they found Frisk, lying down. Undyne pulled her out and Sans knelt down to listen to her heart-beat.
"oh please please please..." He said as he was listening. Everyone climbed over the bricks and waited.
"I-IS SHE OK, BROTHER..?" Sans was searching franatically. He couldn't find her pulse nor heart-beat.
"o-oh god...i can't watch." Sans started trying to make her blood pump in her body by pressing her chest.
"damn it...why do you always do this..wake up.." He muttered. Suddenly she took in a deep breath opened her eyes and shot up like struck by lightning. She was breathing heavily. Sans sighed in relief and groanedas he let himself fall forward in the dirt.
"YOU. are going to fuckin' kill me, ya hear?" he said as he pointed at her. Chara jumped down where Undyne, Ches and Frisk were and gave Frisk a hug.
"Thank you...for standing up for me after everything i have done...and helping me see what i did was wrong. THANK YOU!!" Frisk hugged Chara back.
"Anything for a friend..." Chara only hugged her tighter. Sans lookes up and smiles. The Hatter bursts into an enthusiastic dance.
"OH FRABJOUS DAY! CALLOU CALLAY!!" He says as he keps dancing.
"What is he doing..?" Frisk asks through giggling. Sans shruggs.
"futterwacken." The Hatter pulls both Frisk and Ches into the dance. It’s a wild, wacky joyous dance. When it's done, Ches kisses her. The White Queen leans down to the still bleeding Jabberwocky’s neck and fills viles up, giving one to Frisk.
"so uhh...what now..?" Ches asked, confused and red from the kiss, even if he started it. Frisk smiles.
"Do you guys trust me..?" They nodded.
"Do you love adventuring..?" They nodded again.
"Then i have the perfect plan to get all of us out of here...and make a witch pay."
"Let's all drink a toast then. Monsters..? Shall we?" Toriel says as she holds a vile up. The monsters all start filling viles or armor helmets. They all raise their 'cups' for a toast...the toast for freedom. Underland shimmers and then dissolves into...
Grass. Frisk was back face down in the field, clinging to the edge of the rabbit hole, legs dangling precariously. She looks around. She couldn't see anyone. She pulls herself up and looks around, blinking in the bright sun. She shakes her head.
"Hatter..? Toriel..? Red..?" No one answeared. She started to panic. Has she really dreamt all of that and it was all just in her head? She couldn't be that mad.
"RED?? CHARA?? ASRRIEL?!" Suddenly Ches falls down from the tree.
"ouch...that hurt..." He says as he massages his skull. They both look up to see the monsters in the branches and some falling from between the leaves only teleporting then. She smiles. She wasn't crazy. They all got up; or down in a few cases; and started marching with Frisk towards the party. She felt like she was finally part of something....or a family...Undyne and Alphys were looking around asking her about everything. Toriel, Asgore, Chara and Asriel were all happily walking together enjoying the sun. Papyrus was rolling in the dirt. They finally got into the maze. Before they were going to enter the party she gestured for them to be quiet and stop.
The party is still going on although a bit subdued. Mark speaks to the confused guests trying to calm them down.
"She left me standing there without an answer." She could hear Sans softly growling. She shushed him.
"A case of nerves, no doubt!"
"No, not really.." She says as she walks back onto the lawn, looking like she’s been through a war.
"Frisk..?" Frisk shruggs.
"pretty sure that's me.." Mark's father looks at her and gasps.
"Good Lord. Are you all right?" He asks concerned as her mother starts walking towards her.
"What happened to yo--" She raises her hand at her.
"fell down a hole, hit my head and a lot more. Now then.." She looks at Mark.
"I’m sorry Hamish, I can’t marry you. You’re not the right man for me. And there’s that trouble with your digestion." She turns to her best friend.
"I love you, Margaret. But this is my life. I’ll decide what to do with it." Margret frowns but sighs and gives her a smile. She turns to her friend's husband.
"You’re lucky to have my best friend as your wife. I know you’ll be good to her. I’ll be watching, very closely..."He blanches at the veiled threat. She frowns at him and scrunches her nose up in disgust as she eyes the blonde that's wiping her make-up from her mouth. She turns to her aunt.
"There is no prince, Auntie. You need to talk to someone about these delusions..." She turns to Mark's mother.
"I happen to love rabbits, especially white ones." She says with a smile and a nod. She gasps like she was just about to kill her or something. She turns to her mother.
"And you...oh ho ho YOU...I have no words for you..i should be hating you, you know? But something in my heart just stops it..Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll find something useful to do with my life." She says as she takes out her father's pocket watch and opens it to show a small painting of a small Frisk alongside both her parents smiling lovingly. Her mother takes a step back and looks down in shame. She looks around. Anyone else? Mark's father lifts a finger.
"You have left me out..."
"No I haven’t, sir. You and I have business to discuss."
"The impertinence!" His wife screams. She scofs.
"I’d like to hear what she has to say. Shall we speak in the study?" Frisk smiled.
"We shall, after i do a few more things.." She turns to her mother.
"Mother...it's true you sent me to an asylum to get me checked because i saw monsters..?" Her mother scurnched up her nose and frowned in disgust at the recall and nodded.
"my, now that's quite rude.." Says a gruff voice from behind her as everyone screams and backs away.
"Meet moster-kind. Your majesties..?" Frisk says looking at the maze as both Toriel and Asgore come out followed by their loyal servants. Mk came running by Hatters side as the Bandersnatch came with Alphys and Undyne on her back. Mettaton, Chara and Asriel came from behind alongside Gaster and other monsters. A spider monster they freed from the castle that Frisk learned was named Muffet, a fire monster that fought for the White Queen that was named Grillby, a giant octopus and so much more.
"I promised i will find a place for these monsters in our society..might as well start with our pretty town." The man's eyes widened as he laughed.
"You are just like your father.."
"THIS IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR A LADY!!" Frisk frowned and shrugged. She lifts her skirt, revealing her bare legs and does a brisk Futterwacken to the shock of some and delight of others. All the party guests gasp but Hatter joins her. Sans chuckles.
"Now then, good sir. Shall we? I do believe we have quite the things to talk about."
"Yes we do Miss Snachez, we do." And the two left alongside the monster royal group, leaving the monsters and guests outside.
Frisk studies a map of the world on the table. She nodded in thought looking at it and making a marking on it.
"My father told me he planned to expand his trade route to Sumatra and Borneo. But I don’t think he was looking far enough." The man raised his brows as the monster royals didn't flinch at all.
"Not far enough?" He asked. Frisk nodded with confidence and determination as her eye started flaring a brilliant blue.
"Why not go all the way to China? It’s vast, the culture is rich and we have a foothold in Hong Kong. To be the first to trade with China. Can you imagine it?" The man looked at her eyes and shook his head nostalgically. She looks at him. Her eyes shine just like her father’s did.
"If you were anyone else, I would say you’ve lost your senses. But I’ve seen that look before. Since you’re not going to be my daughter-in-law..apprenticeship?" Frisk shook her head.
"Partners. I have rightfully inherited my father's company at the age of 18. My mother had no right to try and sell it." The man's eyes widened then he laughed.
"You Smiths never cease to amaze me. The monsters and now this? Well, Frisk. I am looking forward to partnering with you!" Frisk's eyes sparkled.
"The Wonder will be ready to leave shortly, sir!" They shook hands and the deal was now official.
A crowd was gathered in the port. They were here to see the China Trading Company’s ship off. Alice stands in the port, waving to her best friend and to the man that made all of this possible and her partner in business. She gets on the ship's deck as her monster friends all gather and get on as well. Mk jumps up as he is using a small whistle.
"MAKE WAY FOR THE CAPTAIN!!" Sans teleports behind her and puts a tail on her shoulder.
"hello, doll~" He says with a purr as Frisk giggles.
"Hello my dear." She scratches him behind his ears as he melts behind her. She keps walking and then salutes the people on the deck. The ship pulls away from the port and it starts sailing. And so the adventure starts.
But this story ended, on a happy note may i add.
But it's:
~The end~
