Sans lay on the table while Mettaton was overseeing what Undyne was doing. WHY the tin can had insisted on following while the others remained in the safe place, he didn't know.

"you didn't have to follow us you know. you could have stayed there and kept Paps company."

"Darling, I know what you think of us... or used to, but this was the only way to get him to stay there."

"Besides I trained Papyrus to be the best, you stupid idiot... I can't believe you got yourself poisoned what kind of Sentry are you?" Undyne commented on the situation.

"you know i wasn't the best at playing watchdog. that was Paps."

"Yet as an idiot you still did it so what does that make you?"

"pay was good. makes me an opportunist."

"You were a piss poor excuse for a sentry I mean you let a human go by."

"yeah, but you couldn't get anyone else to do it for the price you paid."

Undyne was fuming and was about to beat up the skeleton in front of her. Thank goodness Alphys was nearby.

"U-undyne can you please not taunt Sans... He is sick and needs rest until we get this poison out of him." Alphys said already getting the machine started the magic goes into it and comes back clean. It is very similar to what humans use to clean blood in this circumstance. It worked well, but although for a human they didn't feel anything but the needles, a monster on the other hand... felt ... very off. Their magic was directly tied to their soul, so while such things made humans temporarily sick and tired for about twenty-four hours, a monster could feel the effects for as long as two days and at the same time, feel like they have boundless energy for a day. It was a mess, and it made the monster a mess as well, but so far Sans seemed to be fighting through it. He had to explain to the others why he'd sent out the distress signals to the various parties.

Asgore was in his new home after getting the alert from Asriel to seek shelter he wanted to get his staff before joining the rest. It wouldn't take him long really. The process to clean the magic took less time than a blood transfusion. So about an hour later they were all back up on the ledge again; Mettaton was carrying Sans as he was too weak to stand on his own.

Chara decided to go into the underground.
"Oh where oh where are the little monsters hiding..." she snickered at her sing-song voice. The tunnel in was silent, nothing but flowers were around.

"Aren't they beautiful Frisk should we have a bite before we go.." she picked up the flower and was teasing the girl within. Frisk gagged.

"is everyone here?" Sans asked, looking around at the monsters that had gathered. Toriel and Asriel looked up and nodded.

"I think everyone is here Asgore should be here in any moment he wanted to grab his weapon." said Toriel

"he's taking a big risk." sans sighed. "can't be helped I guess. first ... this is going to be very hard to believe. believe me, if I didn't see some of the things I have I wouldn't believe it myself." Asriel knew what was coming and he braced his mom by putting his arm around her to comfort her ahead of time.

"we're dealing with a human who's been dead for many years, but decided that they had a bone to pick with us. so... they're doing it... and their hostage is Frisk."

"What do you mean Frisk? Frisk tried to.... " Toriel was having a hard time wrapping her head around this.

"i mean Frisk is being possessed. someone else is controlling her. someone we know... that ghost that has her..... goes by the name of Chara."

"Chara... my daughter Chara...? How is that possible she died from an accidental poisoning?"

"It wasn't an accident mom... It was on purpose." Sans nodded in agreement.

"Who killed her and why?"

"It was her idea... To break the barrier... to free us... but... I fucked up... And instead of getting the souls... I just... I ended up dusted."

"You have no idea what that put me through, I died the day I had to... I had to..." He hugged her.

"I'm sorry mom... I was a stupid kid back then... I should have told you or dad... "

"You were a child it is not your fault... you had to hear us complain about things that you shouldn't have to deal with at your age. Both of you tried to save us ... stupid as it was." Toriel started to cry.

"Yeah... we should have thought it through better."

"be that as it may, Chara has been out for revenge against us since her death. i can't say why against each of us personally, but she has different reasons for wanting each of us dusted. this wouldn't be the first time, i'm afraid, that she has done something like this."

Chara found herself in Toriel's old place. God she missed.... no, she hated everything about Toriel. She hated her mom. Frisk didn't miss the thought that Chara actually missed something.

"BROTHER... WHY WOULD CHARA WANT TO HURT ME? WHAT DID I EVER DO?" Sans shrugged.

"I wish i had an answer for you."

"MAYBE IF WE JUST TALK TO THEM-"

"She wants all to suffer because we forgot her..." Asriel said calmly.

"FORGOT? I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER."

"you were too young at the time to know. the only one who had face time with him and Chara were me when i was a kid. i barely even recall that much."

"Chara would want to torture Papyrus because he is the closest thing other than Frisk in his soul." Papyrus and Sans both winced a little, but Sans nodded while Mettaton put his arms around Papyrus, trying to comfort him.

"I am sorry guys I wished I could say I could convince her otherwise but I don't think I can do anything to stop her."

"you know her best. we don't blame you for her actions."

"S-so what d-do we d-d-do? You said that Chara has d-done this in the p-past... but i d-don't remember it... why? W-what was d-different that allowed Frisk t-to succeed?"

"Maybe right now the power of Frisk will just confuse everyone. We should get some help."

"we can't just say anything though Azzy. it was bound to come out at some point."

"Fine smiley trash bag your funeral..." he scoffed.

"Asriel language." Toriel snapped. "Sorry, Sans..."

"don't be, at this point i'm kinda used to it from him."

"That does sound very familiar." Toriel said...

"you can ask him about it later. thing is you all need to know what Frisk is capable of. Think back, did you ever have a sense of deja vu when you met Frisk? did you ever think that you'd done something before with her?"

"Now that you mention it stupid I did think of something like that when I met her...," Undyne added. Alphys nodded.

"I s-swear I had m-met her b-before or s-something..." Alphys said after a moment's thought. Sans looked over at the others.

"Well... she did seem to know what she was doing in our final battle... Like ... " Mettaton said thoughtfully.

"like she'd done it before."

"Yeah, how is that possible?"

"Frisk has an ability to manipulate time. it's called a Reset."

"What, Frisk can do that?" Asgore asked as he just rejoined the group.

"Yeah... you, I and a certain flower were the ones who had any recollection of the Resets."

"Me.... mom, I was the flower; before we go on that tangent, we need to stay focus on Frisk for now."

"M-my experiment worked?" Alphys questioned.

"a little too well Al. for... what spanned into a year's time... Asriel had the ability to Reset thanks to the Determination he had. that was until Frisk showed up." Sans still hadn't fully forgiven Asriel for all those nightmares... He'd always had a few, even with Frisk around. So far though he'd managed not to wake her during the night. He knew that luck wouldn't hold forever.

"Doesn't matter now Chara controls Frisk and in any second we can all forget we are talking about this except you Sans and me." Asriel added.

"yeah... unless they choose to save somewhere.... in which case... all the damage they've done up to this point can't be erased. knowing that brat... they just might. chances are we've got a few hours before they do one of two things..... either they find us, and we have a yelling match until they reset... or they save and then find us. And that's the best two scenarios.... the worst being they just decide to reset and the entire day starts over.... i don't wanna go through that."

Chara wandered through the basement of Toriel's house to where she was buried for a short time. Her bandages still left in the coffin before she was buried in the flower bed. There wasn't really anything interesting to be seen other than what little was left of the coffin and bandages. Frisk was silent as they wandered through the place.

"What? Nothing to say? And here I always said things when you decided to investigate the underground's areas."

"This isn't a game Chara, and I'm not your friend."

"Sure it is! After all, life is a game to be played." She giggled as she moved past the small patch of grass where in the past. Asriel would appear. He was a stupid pawn. She should have known she couldn't rely on him; even if he had been willing to actually do what she said. He had proved useless in trapping Frisk and Sans before - though he'd had the power over them for some time - and now he was back to himself and had his "happy ending" while she was still trapped in Frisk playing second fiddle to the goodie two shoes. Well... not anymore.

"Just let me take over Chara I can at least maybe salvage what you did." Frisk pleaded.

"What fun would that be? Besides, I told you before... all I have to do is reset, and it aaaallllll goes away like it never even happened... Well... except ONE thing anyway... besides me being in control... Sans will still suffer."

"Sans will kill us to protect them... I wouldn't want it any other way."

"Oh, you think so huh? You put a lot of faith in him you know. I underestimated him the first time; it won't happen again."

"He is my mate I know him better than anyone... he will destroy you."

"Maybe, but don't you forget something? We have the power of reset... he could kill us thousands of times and still won't be able to stop us. We CAN'T die Frisk. We will live for as long as I decide we will."

Frisk just started to weep at the thought of the future hell she was about to endure.

"The best part is... When I DO finally decide to let go... I still get that comedian too."

"You bitch I hate you so much..."

"You know the saying, Karma's a bitch and guess what... I'm now your karma."
