The End means a New beginning
They waited in the Lab as Alphys came back. Chara was relieved when the lizard monster showed up and the elevator down seemed kinda tense. Mostly the human.
"Hey weirdo..? you ok?"
They were staring off in the distance, lost..
"hey buddy..?" When his hand made contact with their shoulder they gasped and looked at Sans. What is wrong with that weirdo..
"Y-you ok t-there h-human..?"
"oh im so so sorry i was zonning out wasn't i?" They scratched the top of their hood on their head. Dorky..but the human seemed off.
"Alph..? do you know how to start the extractor or do you need my help..?"
"o-oh i w-would l-love some help"
And the two entered the starting booth for the extractor. Sans seemed to take quite a liking in some papers in the room next to this one..so it was Chara and Flowey...just them two...alone.
"so..you ready to be alive again..?"
"do you think it will hurt them..?" She would lie if she said she never thought about that.
"they seem to know the machine quite well if you ask me, i suppose that they will be fine..."
"right..."
Awkward...why were they so tense? They always wanted to come back yet...the thought of the human getting hurt...it was like a lump in their necks, a knot you couldn't untie.
"Hey Chara..?"
"yes..azzy..?"
"you know i love you..right..?" She flushed at those words..this dummy...
"i love you too..azzy.."
"But i love you as more than a friend..."
"w-wait w-wha..?" Chara flushed even more.
"i-i know i-it's sudden..b-but i..i don't know if it will be a 100% guarantee of success..s-so i want to get it off my chest"
"i love you too..you crybaby.."
They both smilled at each other. She was happy she got that off her chest too. She hoped with all her being everything would be fine.
"Y-you r-ready h-human..?"
"yes...i can do this..."
And a whisper which only Chara seemed to hear:
"I'm so sorry...M---"
"T-take y-your soul o-out"
The orb that flew out of the human's chest was the most crimson red Chara had ever seen. it pulsed and lighter shades of red were swirling in it. Like a sea...But as peaceful at it looked..it felt unsettling..
"NOW!"
*HOW COULD THIS FAIL?! #15 ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!*
*n-no sir i d-din't do anything*
*LIAR! THE MACHINE IS DESTROYED!*
*well it wasn't me!*
*HOW CAN YOU PROVE IT?!*
*because one of your mindless bafoons took me to the panic room! THAT'S WHY*
*YOU INSOLENT BRAT DON'T TALK BACK TO ME! YOU WOULD HAVE DIED OF STARVATION ON THE STREETS IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME*
*I WOULD HAVE RATHER DIED LIKE THAT THEN SPEND MY LIFE AS YOUR GUINEEA PIG! YOU KILLED M&^%$#% !*
*OH BOO HOOO! *slap* GET OVER IT!*
*YOU are heartless...*
*And that is what i wanted to achieve..Look at that pulsing red*
*GET AWAY FROM ME YOU M--*
*shhhh it's okay F%$#@y*
*n-noo..*
*now let the extractor do the job...relax...and enjoy..*
Y O U F E E L A P A R T O F Y O U D Y I N G. . . O R R A T H E R B E I N G R E M O V E D ?
And a blinding light hit everyone...apart the human that was just standing in it...Like they have done this before. Alphys stopped the process after only one quarter (which was all they needed) was done. The human was panting.
"H-Human! A-are y-you ok?!"
"y-yeah..i-inject the souls and give them to their rightful owners.." She smiled at the two..but she clearly wasn't ok.. Chara was glad Sans rushed to the human's side to catch them when they tried standing up..That's when Alphys rushed to the fridges and pulled out the two hollow souls. She injected the DT extracted from the human and the souls...They were PINK. No soul has ever been pink before! It was a dull pastel color but it had red swirling around in it for the human one, and white for the monster one. Heh..she had matching souls with her crush. They both gently took them and everything went black.
The next thing she knows she opened her eyes on one of the hospital beds. She slowly got up, since the pain was pretty strong but it faded after a few minutes. She looked around. Then she looked at herself....She was human again...SHE WAS ALIVE! She looked at her files. ALL EMPTY APART FROM THE ONE IN USE THAT HAD HER NAME ON IT! She teared up...Azzy...WHERE WAS AZZY!? that's when she felt a pair of hands hug her and she fell on her back. They were fluffy..
"YOU'RE OK! THANK GOD YOU'RE OK" A goat monster that looked like a smaller version of his father, without the beard and that had the same sweater as her had their arms around her.
"AZZY! WE DID IT! WE ARE ALIVE AGAIN!" They both got up and Asriel twirled her around in his arms. She slid her arms around his neck as he slid his around her waist. She looked at him.
"well well look who's older huh..? you're taller now! ahah!" She booped his nose in a teasing manner as he shook his head.
"hey! you don't look so bad yourself! You're not flat anymore!" That got him a smack and he totally deserved it. They hugged again.
"thank god you're ok!" That's when...he kissed her?! She was so red she couldn't think straight for a minute...
"I've been waiting to do that since forever.." He looked at her with a loving gaze...that hopeless romantic...
"YOU DUMMY" another smack but this time a bit stronger..
"Jeez, that hurt haha!"
"ehem!" They both turned their heads twords the skeleton in the doorway. They quickly pushed away from each other and looked at the floor.
"hey i didn't mean to interupt buttt...the human isn't up yet.." He pointed at the room he just came from.
what..? All three rushed to the side of their friend that was lying in the other room. They looked to be knocked out cold, almost dead. oh no...
"D-do y-you think t-they will wake up..?" why was she stuttering...but the human was their friend after all..they couldn't just die like that...not now...no...
"I hope so..It will be pretty bonely without them..heh.." But she didn't miss the worry in his voice nor the nervousness. Asriel put a reassuring paw on her shoulder.
"O-oh, they w-will wake u-up!" HOLY JESUS ALPHYS?! HOW LONG WAS SHE THERE?!
"sorry i-i w-went upstairs t-to take a s-shower.."
"how long have we been out..?"
"You were out for about 24 hours" ouch...a whole day...
Suddenly the human sat up-right like struck by lightning. They looked like they were panicking..
"Ouch...ok that was a bad idea.." They put their hand on their chest and looked at Asriel and Chara.
"YOU'RE OK" The human jumped out of bed and hugged the two. They couldn't not hug the human back. That would have been rude..since when does she care, she doesn't know nor care.They were glad their friend was ok...
"W-well w-we need to get you to the c-castle n-now..."
"when we get there what will we do..?" Asriel asked in a sad tone..
"let the human cross i guess.." Chara was kinda sad about that too.
The human smiled and looked at all of them.
"do you trust a poor sinner..?" Ohh?
"Alph..when we arrive to the castle call everyone..When all of you arrive..You will have to trust me on that one.."
"what do we get in return for trusting you..?" Asked the comedian raising a brow-bone.
"one word will catch your attention: Freedom.."
Now THAT really caught their attention. They looked at each other and smiled. She knew she trusted the human for a reason. heh.
-------------------------------
Her plan was based on something she learned she could do when she was younger. Barriers. She knew that with the help of the two souls she made, the six souls Asgore had and the monsters coming to 'her rescue to stop Asgore from killing her' she would be able to break the barrier, by tainting it with her magic and dismissing it. That way she didn't have to die doing it. Asriel needed to sneak by with Chara and get the souls. They would come in at the end, when everyone was going to gather. And so they teleported to the highest floor. Passed the monsters that were telling the story of 'the rulers child and the first human' and kept their heads held high. Sans apperently teleported away after he left the three at the highest floor. As they walked Chara started talking. She was holding hands with Asriel which she thought was adorable.
"hey uhh...d-do you think i could maybe be..umm..the human ambassador..? since my dad is the king after all.." Frisk's smile could probably light up the whole tree in Snowdin.
"YES THAT IS A GREAT IDEA! Asgore and your dad can teach you and it would be the best way of combining this kingdom with the monster kingdom..orrr" Frisk wiggled her eyebrows at her friends as they flushed...friends...she forgot how it felt like to have someone...anyone..that cared for you. She always cared for everyone, that was her nature, the first thing she learned was to grow it into a beautiful trait, empathy; but there hasn't been anyone to teach her, grow her, be there for her in a long, long time. She must have said the last part outloud beacuse Asriel said:
"things can always change.. Just 'hope'" again that word...just like him...
*Just hope Frisky! You are allowed to dream as long as you remember to be realistic*
"heh, thanks you guys. Now lets free monsterkind..shall we~?"
They came to the end of the hallway, the door to the hall before the throne room was there. They all placed a hand on the door.
"the count of three..?" asked Chara. She looked as anxious as her.
"one.." Her blood was pumping.
"two.." Her nerves were a wreck..was she excited..or scared? But there was dread...she knew the feeling too well.
"three!" She saved from afar as they pushed open the door and entered the Judgement hall. It looked like the mosaic from the windows were inspired by a church..To ease everyone's tension she made a joke..even if she saw the shadow in front of them between the pillars and immediately knew who it was.
"hello. do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ and the holy Bible...?" Asriel and Chara started snickering relaxing a bit. Thank god that worked...That's when the shadow spoke:
"so you finally made it" Oh...he is judging her...Knew it...he really is The Judge of the Underground like Gaster said...and like he said back at the lab...
"The end of your journey is at hand" yo..drop the scary voice, im a good kid..
"In a few moments you will meet the king.." and you said i was the scary one. He probably got bored because he stepped out of the shadows and gave them a bright smile, but it wasn't as happy as he tried to make it seem.Dread was hidden behind it. Another one bites the dust..? pfft..dumb joke.
"heh..There's no point in hiding when there's two persons out of three that know that i am The Judge" left out much..? Ok Frisky no time for jokes..
"and you said I was the scary one..Look in a mirror when you do THAT" She gave him a pout just because she could as she gestured at his whole self. He stiffeled a laugh before he was serious again.
"now. you will be judged..you will be judged for your every action. You will be judged for every EXP you've earned..What's EXP..?
"'an acronym for execution points..'" The three stared at Frisk. she knew too well this whole process...she knew what she was forced to do on the surface...she knew Gaster...she knew who SHE was...
"'when you have enough EXP your LOVE increases. LOVE stands for level of violence. A way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt.'"
Sans looked at her. If she wouldn't have been wearing her bandana...he would be looking right in her eyes...'eyes are the mirror to one's soul' but she couldn't show her eyes, nor her soul's true form.
"You don't want to judge me, sans..."
"umm weirdo what are you doing..?" Chara said between her teeth.
"protecting you all from the truth.."She said look at the floor.
They all looked at each other as Sans pulled her soul out..or at least the facade.
"at least in the Underground you didn't gain LOVE...but you gained love if that makes any sense.."
"You cannot judge a judge, Sans the skeleton. i suggest you let me retreat my soul."
He froze. "y-you are a j-judge..?"
"at least were at one point. That will be determined soon enough.."
"so you w-will have abnormaly high LOVE and EXP...just like me...i understand.." of course there were other reasons but she was happy to be allowed to retreat her soul.
Asriel and Chara looked at each other as they too were judged. Sans smiled when he gestured with his head twords the room where the souls were.
"i'm rooting for ya kiddo. Don't die on this bag of bones..got it..?"
"a promise is a promise Sans..See you in a bit" And so she entered the door leading to the Throne room.
Flowers. Buttercups everywhere. Humming. Light. It was warm... and suddenly the humming stopped.
"Oh? is someone there..?" said the monster that was humming. A big purple cape hanging from his shoulders. He was big, seemed to have authority, head held high and a crown on top. HE was King ASGORE. He looked so much like Asriel she couldn't help but smile.
"Yes your highness.." Oh he was such a sweetheart..how could such a man ever kill..he must have hated what he was doing..but he was scared wasn't he...of the humans that took his children's lives...Of course he was hidding..she felt pitty for the man before her.
"Just a moment! i have almost finished watering these flowers." She didn't mind to be honest, but her plan was a bit on a thight schedule...
"..here we are! Howdy! how can i--" Oh poor him..the sad look in his eyes spoke stronger than he ever could. She bowed. It was only polite to do so. He was king after all.
"oh! no need...i so badly want to say..'would you like a cup of tea' but..you know how it is.." The king looked outside the window. She saw the sad smile he had when he spoke again..
"nice day today..isn't it? Birds are singing, fowers are blooming. The perfect weather for a game of catch." come on Asgore..don't give her that look.
"shall we,your highness" She tried to talk like she did with the King on the surface...
"Oh please..call me Asgore" But this king wasn't like the one on the surface, from a lot of different point of views..
She smiled..such a nice guy. No wonder Toriel was his wife.
"ok Asgore..I believe the room up ahead is the one isn't it..?"
Just don't hurt him Frisky...act...spare...show mercy...They will all be free. Don't hurt him.
"let's proceed."
And the King led the way as the human followed behind. They continued into a corridor...The King entered first through an archway leading to another separate room. Frisk messaged Alphys and saved just in case...As she too entered the room.
"ths is the barrier.This is what keeps us all trapped down here.."
"..."
"this is it, then."
"Yes...it's time to give you all a happy ending"
The King forgot to raise the containers just like Frisk had planned. He was so thrown off by the statement he already started fighting.
"it was nice to meet you. Goodbye."
And a giant red trident was summoned. Woah that was a big trident. And it was coming straight for her. Frisk doged the attacks with ease. She tried to talk to the king, to tell him there was another way. Because there was, and it was the one she would provide to them.When the king slowed down she finally got a chance to get him to react. That's when a fireball came from next to the King. He was thrown to the side.
"what a miserable creature,torturing such a poor innocent youth..." Toriel...Of course she would show up first...
"i'm so sorry child but, i couldn't stop worrying about you..." Such a king soul..with so much motherly love to share.
"it's fine Toriel, thank you" She smiled at the goat monster that pulled her into a hug.
"Tori.." Oh and the drama begins..
"don't 'Tori' me, Dreemur..." Ouch..that's rough.
That's when Frisk smiled..."No no no, Toriel.. i believe the best word for him is.."
"dad" Asriel and Chara walked in with Sans, holding the containers for the souls..
"M-my children..m-my son...OH MY CHILDREN!" Toriel threw herself at Asriel and Chara as Sans used his magic to set down the containers.
"i believe that..dad..deserves a second chance...he was afraid of the humans that killed me...even the human explained why the kids would have died anyways...they were sentenced to death as soon as they fell.." That's when Toriel looked at her husband and said.
"I guess..he didn't know better...Ohhh we can be a family again!" She hugged Chara and Asriel again.
"B-but how are you alive.." Said the King as he teared up. Toriel was fully crying at this point.
"the human helped us, Asgore" said Chara.
"i see..." He looked at Frisk as he hugged his whole family..including Toriel..that didn't say no. Frisk smiled at the sight.
"thank you for bringing my family back.."
"actually dad, Chara isn't your daughter..."
"o-oh..h-her family on the surface..i forgot.."
"she might be your daughter-in-law.." Asriel smirked at Chara.
"AZZY!" and another smack. These two were so cute.
"ohh! Chara, I fully approve of this! Right..ASGORE..?" the last part was spited out...such a nice family..
"yes of course! I--"
"Ngahhhhhh!! ASGORE! human!!" Pfft Undyne looked winded..
"Nobody fight each other! you will become friends right now!"
And so on one by one..Frisk's friends came. After Undyne came Alphys, then Papyrus, then Mettaton, that almost managed to convince Undyne and Alphys kiss. Toriel ruined it though...Asriel, Chara and Frisk were "too young" to watch...they all were 17.... So to make her mad Frisk smiled at Asriel and nodded as he looked at Chara who then looked at him then back at Frisk.A weird chain but they got the memo. Asriel twirled Chara around and kissed her.She raised a leg up in the air for effect as Asriel bend down with her in his arms.NOW THAT is what you call passion!! Toriel was FLAMING...literally! Sans and Toriel finally realized that hey were each other's 'knock knock buddies' (Sans being a bit dissapointed that she was not only much older but married as well) and all the monsters slowly gathered around. Starting with Muffet and Grillby, who everyone found out they were dating right there, up to even the smallest Tsundere plane she encountered. That's when Frisk looked at Sans and said.
"Well..Now is it a good time..?"
"Kiddo..Now it's the best time..Break a bone" He winked at her with his specific grin.
Chara and Asriel brough the containers closer as they set the souls free. The souls gathered around Frisk, swirling around like pulled by an unkown force...It was a rainbow of color. Asriel and Chara looked stunned until Frisk gestured for them to grab her hands..feeling every soul beat like one...using the DT of the swirling souls..their hopes...their dreams...they all wanted it...they all could feel it...'freedom'. The barrier turned a crimson red. Then with a blinding light everything went black as the barrier broke. The power was so intense it knocked Frisk out.
*wake up, #15....you need to wake up and stay DETERMINED*
*wake up, Frisky! we need to run!*
*wake up, kiddos..they found us!*
*wake up, Frisk! he isn't coming back!*
*wake up, you are a filthy unwanted!*
W A K E U P !
"OI! PUNK WAKE UP!" Frisk gasped as she woke up...oh right the barrier..suddenly she felt two pairs of different arms around her. One was fluffy, the other felt human.
"THANK GOD YOU ARE OK!" Both Chara and Asriel shouted as the monsters around were relaxing, relieved the human was ok.
"bucko..YOU are going to give me a heart attack.."Sans said with a smirk. And so they all climbed up on Mt.Ebbot..and looked at the sun together...the end...it was here...
"well now i'm going to tell you all something...I can't come with you guys." They froze...oh her heart dropped when she saw their sad looks..
"Chara...you are the King's daughter. You are as easy to recognize as a girrafe between goats so the King will easily know who you are. You will be the monster ambassador... i want you to convince the King..NO.. i KNOW you can convince the King to unify your kingdoms.."
Frisk looked at the path up ahead..they were coming closer.
"m-my child..what has brought up to this..? we can fix it..."
"yeah punk! Why can't you stay..? ARE WE NOT GOOD ENOUGH?!!? IS THAT IT?!"
"c-calm down U-Undyne..I-im sure t-they have a r-reason.."
They were all looking at her. She could hear them mumbling, asking 'why'... but it was for the best...it was for the very best...
"because she is an unwanted...isn't that the reason..?It would be awful, us monsters who are already feared..to show up with an unwanted..."She was so thankful the others didn't understand the term, ony bearly Alphys. Frisk looked at the fire element that was holding the spider monster's hand..She smiled with a sad, knowing smile as he did so as well. What no one knew is that the night at the MTT resort, she didn't actually sleep, apart from one hour. She went back and had a talk with Grillby. She and him would stay in touch, that was the deal. He wanted what she wanted and Muffet did too: freedom for her kind as well as monsters. Grillby told Frisk what he knew and Frisk filled him in. It was a fair exchange of information and the start of an allience, a rebellion so to speak. If Grillby will move his bar to the surface, that would mean information for her and the others just like her. They both agreed that with the freedom of monsterkind, that was only fair.
"Thank you, Grillby, Muffet" She politely noded her head in their direction
"the pleasure is ours, dearie.." She also had that sad look. Oh she hated to say goodbye like this. That's when she heard the footsteps and voices.
"QUICK OVER HERE LET"S GO!" Anyone but that jackass...
A tall blonde man approached them with 2 others, all dressed as The Royal Guards. But she knew the blonde man talking in his radio right now.
"Yes sir! our prediction was right! The barrier has been broken! The monsters appear to also have been freed alongside your daughter sir!" that's when the man locked eyes with her. oh no..
"and THEY are here too sir. Roger that! Over!"
"You are very rude...you know that, don't you Jonathan...? But you are after all the definition of rude..."
Anyone but THIS asshole...things are going downhill and fast. As she looked at the monsters one final time she was determined. determined to meet them again and free her kind...Make the unwanteds, wanted again!
