How many times has Chara and the spirits seen this screen?

Well, Sans knew, he kept count.

His dead friends couldn't comprehend how powerful he was. He could dodge every attack she threw at him, give off powerful attacks that are hard to dodge, even if you've memorized them, and he could even number off how many times she has died to him by her face!

No other monster could do that!

They had no idea how he got that way, but they were definitely proud. He was killing her for every monster she had killed, getting revenge for each and every one. Not to mention he was driving her insane, shoving her into the black oblivion after the countless deaths she had from him.

"Wow, 482 times now..." Sans said, staring at her, "You... Uh... Must be really determined. But that's not your determination, is it?"

"What?" Chara huffed.

"Don't act stupid, Chara," Her enemy said her name like it was poison itself, "I know you took over that girls body and her soul, using her determination to keep yourself going."

"How did you know that?" She asked.

"I know a lot of things," He said, shrugging as everything faded into black and white.

"I refuse to sit here and take it," He said, sending a wave of bones at her.

"Our reports showed a massive anomaly in the timespace continuum," He said, "Timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting..."

"H-How does Sans know about that?" Alphys asked.

"What do you mean?" Undyne asked her girlfriend, looking over.

"Timelines are like time, and Chara is using her stolen determination to weave and bend them," Alphys explained, "But that's sceincey stuff that Sans shouldn't know."

Chara jumped over some bones before pressing the button once more.

"Until suddenly, everything ends. That's your fault, isn't it?" He asked her as he dodged.

"How do you know that?" Chara asked him.

"I just do," He said, sending gaster blasters at her once more.

Chara was at low HP by now, but she attacked anyway, once again missing her target.

"You can't understand how this feels!" Sans said, looking iver at the ground before sending more bones to attack, which she dodged all of them.

"How what feels?" Toriel asked her friend, knowing he couldn't hear her.

"Knowing that one day without any warning... It's all going to reset."

"Of course I don't," Chara giggled, "Too bad for you, though."

And he sent more bones at her.

"Sans knew... And he didn't tell me...?" Papyrus asked as Chara continued.

"He didn't tell any of us, that punk!" Undyne yelled as Chara and Sans went into battle mode.

"Perhaps there was a reason, children," Toriel offered as Chara attacked Sans, missing once more.

After some time, she reached the point where she was before, attacking him and missing him once more.

"Look, I gave up trying to go back a long time ago," Sans said sadly, pulling his hands out of his pockets to shrug.

More bones.

More HP lost.

"And getting to the surface doesn't really appeal to me anymore, either."

"Sans..." Papyrus said sadly.

More gaster blasters.

HP lost.

"But I have a plan, which might work," Sans said, "Human, are you listening?"

"I can't zone you out how much I try," Chara said, "So yeah."

"I wasn't talking to you," Sans spat out, "I was talking to the soul of that human you possessed. Don't worry kiddo, use the determination against her, and break free!"

"Shut up!" Chara yelled in a demonic voice, attacking him.

You can feel something stirring in your soul

"You want to know why I don't want to go to the surface?" The short male asked as his eye sockets went black, "Because, in the end, we'll just end up right back here with no memory of it because of you, right Chara?"

"As if I'd let you to the surface!" Chara yelled.

"That's why I want the real human back," Sans said, "Because she would bring us to the surface, without resetting. She saw what a twisted freak you are, she'd make sure you never bubble up again!"

"Shut it!" Chara screeched, attacking him.

Something, or someone, is waking up

"To be honest," Sans sighed, "It was kinda hard to give it my all, knowing that you'd just reset your life and try again. But that human inside of you, who wants freedom, gave me hope again. Hope to try. Hope to fight. Hope to see Papyrus again."

More gaster blasters, more streams of pure energy which Chara barely avoided.

Someone woke up

"I guess that means I never really was lazy, since I'm actually trying for once. Maybe I was depressed, knowing my life was worthless when I read the reports," Sans muttered, "But, when I saw this red scarf on the ground, I realized I couldn't afford to not care anymore, so I teleported over here to fight you and get my brother back."

"Sans really cares about you, huh?" Undyne asked Papyrus.

"H-He does..." Papyrus said sadly, longing to hug his brother once more.

The human is determined to reunite the brothers

"I just want to see him again," Sans said sadly, sweat beading down his forehead, "I just want to hug Papyrus, be able to tell him what a cool bro he is. I just want to be able to listen to him yell about my awful puns, one last time."

"You're never going to see him again!" Chara yelled, getting frustrated.

The soul wants its body back now

So it's going to try to take it back

Chara suddenly froze, the black soul beating loudly as a red crack started to form down it.

"Wait, what?" Chara yelled, "No, stop!"

"What's going on?" Grillby asked.

"The h-human," Alphys said in amazement, "They're fighting to get their soul back!"

Chara started clawing at her chest where her soul was stored as more red glowing cracks made their way across it.

"You can do this!" Sans yelled encouragement, growing closer as exhaustion dwelled upon him.

Chara wasn't going alone.

As the final crack filled the heart, breaking away the black exterior, and breaking Chara's control over her body, Chara managed to swing the knife down one last time.

And she struck Sans across the chest.

"Sans!" All the spirits yelled as he fell backwards, blood pouring from his wound.

The human rushed forward to the skeleton once she had gained control of her body, her warm brown eyes gazing down at him as he brought him into her arms.

"S-Sans..." She choked out, "I'm s-so sorry, for everything! I let that thing kill everything!"

"Heh heh..." Sans chuckled, coughing up blood, "But, in the end, aren't you in control now?"

"Y-Yeah," She said, her hand hovering over the reset button that had appeared in front of her, "But the memory part I lost control over. They'll remember everything, Sans."

"It's fine," Sans whimpered out as his left leg started to dust away, "Just press it."

And so did the human, her tanned hand pressing the reset button as Sans slowly dusted away.

If only he knew the spirit of his brother was by his side, trying his best to hold his brother in his arms as the timeline reset for good.

Reset*

And Sans woke up.

He sat up instantly, ignoring the tiredness of his bones as he threw the covers off of his legs, standing up.

Papyrus...

He'd remember everything.

But that didn't matter at the moment. He was ALIVE, in the room next door.

The door busted open as Papyrus sprinted inside, quickly heading to his brothers bed before scooping him up into his arms in a bear hug before Sans could even react,

"S-Sans!" Papyrus cried out his brothers name, stuffing his skull into his shoulder as he held Sans in his arms.

"P-Paps, I'm so s-sorry!" Sans cried, hugging him back.

"So am I-I, Sans. I love you so much."

"Love you too, bro."
