Chapter 60 - Colliding Layers

Frisk had experienced this before.

She knew it quite well. The way time changed randomly, how she kept moving back to places she had already been. It was like the Flowey fight, all over again, but on a larger scale where everyone was affected. People were jerking across the streets, their timeline of events jumping from point to point. It was as if time was destroyed. 

Frisk knew time. It was like a continuous line. A save would place a point on the line, and if she loaded or reset back to that point, the previous timeline would be erased and she would end up back at the same point on the line. But now, it was as if the line was torn and tangled together, points intersecting randomly. 

It was hard to keep track of things. One moment she was walking through her dorm, the next she was sitting in class. Or had she always been sitting in class? Did she even go to class?

Frisk was instantly aware of the changes the moment they happened, her thoughts running, or ran, rampant as she found herself back in her room once more. She heard cries in the distance, before they even happened. People were screaming, but they already finished.

No, Frisk would know of this later. She would learn about resets. But did she already know about resets?

Frisk was running to her car, keys in hand. She had yet to grab her keys, but she was grabbing them? No, she was now turning them as the engine roared to life. The car was already driving before she had even started it. But she had yet to turn the keys.

She had called Toriel, her Mom. Toriel was going to answer, but hadn’t she already? 

“Mom, what’s going on?” Frisk would ask later, her car stopping as it hadn’t started yet.

But Frisk hadn’t even driven from the school, she was back at school. No, now Frisk was driving down the road. Hadn’t she already done that?

“Frisk,” Toriel had said, her voice soon sounding worried. “I-I don’t know, something is happening!”

“I think time, Mom, it’s gone!” Frisk said, or would say. “It’s breaking down! Do you know who is doing this?”

The human let loose a scream a moment before she had even twisted off the road, the car suddenly running off of the road into a tree. But wasn’t the tree over there? Wasn’t she far away?

No, something else was changing, too. The trees were closing in, but some were growing farther. Or they were already far away. Was the front of the car closer to her as well? 

Frisk would later learn about the dimensional layers, after Asgore had explained them. They were collapsing, each one crashing down. Time was first, and now, or then, it was depth. Height and length would soon follow. They were all crashing down to the lower layers, and soon, everything would be gone. It would be like a broken table, laying in a pile on the ground, everything jumbled together in a useless pile of broken pieces.

Trying to drive was proven pointless, as her sense of depth was being destroyed. Trees were suddenly on the road, clouds were drifting inches above the car, or disappearing into the sky. Frisk had moved to the side before she was hitting the door, finding it closer to her than expected.

But when she moved to climb out of the car, she ended up falling against the floor, her feet missing the floor. But she hadn’t climbed out of the car yet.

Everything was breaking apart, the surface was thrown into utter chaos. People were running to and… well, to, since her depth was going to be utterly destroyed. Red cracks started to spread along the ground and objects, splitting open. It was the universe itself, the universe was cracking open. It was all breaking apart.

Frisk tried to reach out with her determination, but she found no ability to reset. Her determination wasn’t enough, there was too much to change. Still too much land, too many souls. Frisk was never going to be enough again. 

The girl tried to make her way to Toriel, or had already tried, but nothing was working. Her car was useless, she couldn’t drive when depth was breaking apart. Things had changed locations, becoming closer than they appeared or becoming further than ever. Trees starting to expand in height, towering above her, while other things started to become so skinny they looked like nothing but a single, thin line. Height and lengths were- had- will change.

Then came the demons. 

Left and right, they started to appear. Not only demons, but angels. People with black and white wings, halos and horns, were going to start becoming real on earth. People started to appear in older clothing styles, taking on victorian outfits. Some were going to speak different accents, their voices rising in concern as well.

Dead souls. Those were dead people. Heaven and hell had collided, too. 

When the cracks started to grow, Frisk realized before that everyone was in trouble. And she had no power to control the situation.

~~~~~~

Everything had crashed together onto the surface. The dimensional layers, heaven and hell, the souls of the dead, everything. All aspects of life were crashing together into an utter mess. Giant birds loomed over tiny trees, people were running, stopped running, then would run. Everything was chaos, and the universe couldn’t handle it. 

The cracks continued to glow, ripping through the ground. Large cracks would soon grow to swallow unfortunate people whose timelines dealt with those locations, falling down into the depths of the universe. Soon, the red glow turned to a sour pitch black, the void starting to seep through the cracks like liquid.

The void was coming.

It crept up trees, up through the sky, devouring everything in its path. There was no structure to the universe anymore, everything was already destroyed. It would be destroyed. The void would devour everything, destroy everything. It would, it had, it would, it had.

The world started to fade away. Physical items were broken apart, chunks of the earth being torn apart into nothing by the void. Screaming, innocent people were consumed, a few determined managing to keep their souls alive within the black abyss. The sky started to be destroyed by the void as well, tendrils of black scooting across the sky to destroy clouds. 

The screams continued to echo as the void destroyed more and more of the world, trying to fix the mistake that had occured. The void had already consumed half the earth, but it was already destroying most of the surface. It would destroy the surface.

And finally, the world was torn into nothing by the black abyss within the void.

……..




























Addy was nowhere.

Or she had already been nowhere. And she was always going to be nowhere. Time didn’t exist anymore. Now was forever, and forever was never. She didn’t exist, nothing did.

But her soul held on. Her determination clung to life, it didn’t want to die. She didn’t want to die, but could she even die? Death wasn’t death anymore, it was nothing. Her soul and body would simply be destroyed, there was no death. Just destruction. And that was only ever the existence of death anymore.

Her purple magic hair didn’t move. There was no wind, it would never exist again. Neither would she. Neither would anything. 

There was other souls around here, or there, or nowhere. Here didn’t exist. But the souls did. 

“Wait, Daddy!” Addy exclaimed.

She could see him, his blue hoodie, in the distance of the black that surrounded her. He turned towards her voice. Addy started running, but when she had, his form started to retreat into the distance. He wasn’t moving himself, but he was still dragged away, soon disappearing into nothing but the blackness once more.

And so, Addy stopped, her own voice sounding different. She could sense her soul most of all, and she could, or would soon, sense the others. They were all there.

Was this is? This impending nothingness? Her soul would eventually break away, and she would become nothing. Just like the nothing that surrounded her. Forever and never.

Addy reached forward through the void, her soul calling out. It couldn’t end like this! Addy had so much to do, so much to see! She wanted to keep her family safe!

They all flashed through her mind. Her siblings, her parents, family, friends, all of them. Their souls flashed through the darkness with her own, her purple soul starting to glow. 

So many people, with so many hardships and goals. Her family were people who had seen so much, and banded together to fight as a team. Everyone was so special in their own ways, their souls were all unique and amazing. 

The souls responded. 

Souls of people she knew started to draw near. Wayne, Leonie, Toriel, Undyne, Papyrus, Daddy. They started to glow near Addy’s own, the girl looking around. Her hands outstretched more, making her soul glow more. Their determination all started to glow as her own soul called out, begging for others to join in.

They needed more determination for-

More souls joined. People she didn’t know, monsters and humans alike, joining together. The souls started to collect around her, forming a small circle around her. No, it wasn’t enough. She needed more souls!

No one-

But somebody came.

Souls joined, more and more. Humans, monsters, angels, everyone. Their souls joined one by one, surrounding Addy until the black void was blocked out by the colorful glow of souls. Patience, kindness, different souls traits surrounded her. Each soul beat in harmony with the others, their determination glowing strong.

And she could see it, in her own soul. A tint of red, spreading throughout. 

Addy, no, everyone, is filled with determination to save the world.

The girl reached out, her soul glowing with the determination of everyone. She needed something, something long lost to the tales of the underground. With enough determination, she should be able to-

The souls started to rotate more and more, more determination gathering with each new soul. They joined the sphere of souls around Addy, each new addition bringing more hope to save the world.

And finally, Addy reached out, feeling a power like no other under her hands.
