It was Dark.

That was the first thing you noticed.

Second thing was that the atmosphere was really tense, and you were on the ground, your Add-ons out.

That confused you, since when did you lower your shield?

Taking in your surroundings, you thought that the place you were in seemed familiar, but it just felt...Off.

Turning around you just saw a black expanse. You couldn't be in Dreamland again...Right?

A flash beside you caught your eye and you quickly turned towards it and there stood a white spotlight-like thing a ways away. Walking towards it you managed to see a speck of green in the center of the spotlight. But that's also when you realized that a glow emitted from your chest. Looking down, you saw your crystal glowing brightly.

Shaking it off you continued to venture closer toward the spotlight. As you did the world around you turned lighter, if only the color. As you neared the spotlight, that was still very much there, the green speck you had seen enfolded into a flower with six yellow petals and two green worn-looking leaves.

Sensing something negative you stalled and the flower suddenly turned to face you and a white bullet streamed past your ear, barely skimming it. Surprised you took a step back before registering what was in front of you. It was obviously a flower, but it had a face, a menacing one at that. Scowling and filled with hatred.

"What is an Idiot like you doing here huh?!" It screamed, jolting you even further, more white bullets vaporized beside him and you shook your head, taking a deep breath. "I wouldn't shoot those if I were you" The Flower scoffed, suddenly looking undecisive "Or...What?" It said eyeing you challenging "Or you'll never get to know my name" You answered, offering a small smile.

The Flower recoiled, looking disgusted. "And why would I need to know the name of an idiot like you?" It answered. You shrugged "So I could learn yours?" You were trying to stall this Flower so you could get your bearings and remember your training readying your own magick.

The Flower looked skeptical, almost drawing away when it finally said "I'm Flowey, Flowey The Flower" You smiled brightly, despite Flowey trying to hurt you, you had to talk. It seemed the only way to know where you were at the moment "(Y/n)"

You introduced yourself sticking out your hand while squatting. Flowey narrowed his black seed-like eyes "Why are you being so nice to me?" He asked. You turned your head why was his voice sounding so...Sad? Then you remembered, Chara had said something once about having a brother named Asriel, but soon stopped for she was overcome with memories, at least, that's what you guessed.

And another time, she had talked about during the pacifist runs, near the end, Flowey would absorb all of the monsters SOULS and turn into Asriel, and FIGHT Frisk, and that Asriel was confused and thought that Frisk was Chara.

She also said that during every Genocide run Flowey would interrupt and try to join her but the Shadowed Frisk would just kill him anyway but he always said something along the lines as Asriel would say.

She never told you what happened that made Asriel into Flowey but you never really wanted to know anyway. So, with the remembered knowledge, you chuckled "Because I want to be...Asriel"

Flowey jerked back at hearing the name. Then his face morphed into one of slight Hope(?) but was soon extinguished "How Do You Know That Name?" He asked menacingly. You stood, dropping your hand sighing, resolving into saying one word "Chara"

As soon as you said her name Flowey cowered beneath you, shock over-apparent on his simple face he seemed to want to say something when he stopped himself and shook his petaled head vigorously. When he stopped Flowey's face morphed into something horrifying, like something from a Nightmare.

"ThErE iS nO eScApE fOr YoU nOw," He started in the creepiest voice you had ever heard, "YoU wIlL nEvEr LeAvE tHiS pLaCe ALiVe" That's when you saw what little color the bleak world had leaked out of existence along with your own colors. Your soul floated in front of you and you didn't feel comfortable with it being out in the open like this, your wings bristled as you heard and saw a ring of white bullets circle around you. Flowey was wearing an unusually wide grin as if he enjoyed watching this unfold.

Breathing in deeply you mumbled "I wished I didn't have to do this" And summoned as many Owl Claws you could, then threw them at each individual bullet. Flowey seemed surprised by this and his face deformed into an angry confusion, he conjured more of the white fatal nuts, so you retaliated with your own attack, deciding to save the Boom Kitties as a last resort. But with each bullet gone, three more took its place.

You twisted and turned, dodging every bullet, effectively angering Flowey in the process, summoning Owl Claws left and right.

After quite a while of this, you finally shouted, your energy almost depleted, "FLOWEY THERE HAS TO BE A PART OF YOU THAT KNOWS THIS IS WRONG!!"

Flowey stopped his pellets from pelting you, a crazed look set in his white oval face, "nO" He said simply, his morphed face twisting more and more with each passing second, but to you, it looked strained. Like he was trying to keep up his charade. Thinking you just about had enough of this. You let one thick tendril exit out of your crystal, having it split into five Boom Kitties, all of them circling around you defensively.

Flowey took one look at the BKs and laughed menacingly. "tHosE aRe YoUr LiNe Of DeFeNcE?! PaThEtIc. YoU rEaLlY aRe An IdIoT" You chuckled darkly "Why, yes they are, Flowey, but I wouldn't laugh. If you know what's good for you" Your right eye flashed, then turned white-hot for a brief second as you thrust out your arm.

The leader BK took off but in addition to its sparkling tail, it glowed brighter than the rest, being infused with the tiniest shard of your soul. Hence the slight throbbing in your chest. From what you had gathered, Flowey needed a soul to be Asriel, but he only needed one monster soul to do so. And you concluded that even the smallest shard of a Human soul would suffice. Clearly, you had been thinking about this since Chara told you about her brother.

The rest of the Boom Kitties exploded the rest of the pellets while the leader ran straight towards the devilish flower. Said flower's simple face contorted into fear as he slowly realized what was happening.

'Too Late' You thought grimly

The Boom Kitty exploded and the FIGHT ended, smoke was still clearing as it regained its color, shimmering (F/c) twinkling as you confidently strode forwards. When the mist cleared, your wings nestled neatly against your back and you loomed over a shaking and crying goat-kid. He was wearing a green and yellow muti-striped sweater, brown cargo pants, and bare paws crisscrossing as he rubbed his emerald glistening eyes. Floppy ears framing his young muzzled face. You squatted and sat down in front of him as he looked at you.

Smiling, you opened your arms and said sweetly "Welcome back, Prince Asriel" He paused, clenched fist raised to one gleaming eye. Then he launched himself into your arms crying over and over "I'm So SORRY" You, chuckling, rubbed his small tuff of fur on top of his head, and rocked back and forth slightly. Being deeply reminded of Chara.

"Asriel," You started, looking at him as he peeked open one sparkling green eye "I am here to take you Home. Will you come with me?" Asriel, without a beat, nodded his head "I-I-I Don't W-Want T-To Be A-Alone A-A-Anymore" He choked out. Your eyes softened and a gentle, caressing, smile graced your lips and you hugged him to your chest.

On their own accord, your wings unfurled from your back and wound around both of you and your crystal glowed, however, from wherever you actually were, you felt like it was harder. Pushing harder against the obstacle you grunted, created a whirlwind of air, and after quite a while...

He Was Home
