Chapter 18 - Getting Stronger
In the Living Room...
Frisk: *looking over my shoulder* How did your story go?
Me: One VOTE on each chapter? What the heck happen to the readers? Went on a vacation or something?
Undyne: I'm guessing because you wrote the "killing" part from Chapter 15...
Me: It's called a plot twist, stories can make a dramatic change, going from being happy and lucky to downside and guilty.
Frisk: *crossing her arms* Could've guess... wait a second? *looks over my Followers and glares* I'll be back... I got some things to take care of... *leaves the room*
Sans: What's her problem?
Me: *shrugs* I have no idea...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What's up Buddies! I'm back with another chapter! Clock is ticking and nearly close to finishing off my studies and well, I get to chillax doing absolutely nothing for the day. Also, I was reading some other fandom books from other author and kinda say that their stories are mind-blown. Great work those writers, I praise to them a lot with no doubts. Okay, pushing my praises aside, here's the chapter, I hope you enjoy this~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sans's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning, since today is doing some training to become stronger to defeat Demise and his comrades, Flowey and Chara. I crawled out of bed without waking Frisk up and changed into my usual clothes. After putting on my hoodie, I fixed up the scarf around my neck and sighed.
"It'll be okay, Papyrus." I said to myself.
I returned back to Frisk's side, placed my hand over her shoulder and shook her gently. "Hey Frisk, it's time to get up."
"Five more minutes, Mom." She mumbled, turning her head away from me.
I chuckled, "Baby, we got training today. So stop pretending like you're acting like me."
She groaned as she pulled herself into sitting position with her hair all messy and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. I chuckled.
"Mornin' sleepyhead." I greeted.
"Morning Sans." She replied tiredly.
"Aww... you're still tired?" I cooed.
"Yeah..." She let out a big yawn.
"Heh... well, can't say you're lazier than I am."
"Sans..." She pouted, frowning at me with her eyebrows knitted together in annoyance.
"C'mon, get dress and we'll go to Grillby's for breakfast." I chattered, while leaving our room.
"Okay." She tossed the blanket aside and pick out some new clothes; her signature striped shirt with her blue hoodie, a red scarf around her neck, brown shorts with black leggings and brown boots. After she got her clothes on, she brushed her messy hair and approached beside me.
I teleport the both of us inside of Grillby's and take our usual spots. We ordered some breakfast which is pancakes and Grillby left the counter to head for the kitchen. Don't get me right wrong, I do love Frisk's pancakes from yesterday but I decided going to Grillby for a quick bite since we have to be there by 10 o'clock. Grillby came back from the kitchen with our pancakes and my ketchup bottle. We ate our breakfast while having a conservation about the training.
"So do you have any powers at all, Frisk?" I asked.
"Hmm... not as far as I remembered. When I fight with Undyne or Mettaton, my SOUL somewhat gain the ability to defend and attack..." She replied truthfully.
"Ability? From the Human SOULs?" I questioned.
"Well, kind of... but, I don't remember doing that." She mumbled quietly.
Then, we heard a beep and Frisk looked down at her pocket before taking out her cellphone.
"Who is it?" I asked.
Frisk read the message and then show it to me.
X.x.Asriel_The_HyperDeath.x.X: Hey Frisk, are you guys coming to the training?
Frisk withdrawn her phone and texted a message.
Frisky_Loves_You: Yeah, we're just having breakfast now but we'll be there.
She waited a few minutes until she got a reply.
X.x.Asriel_The_HyperDeath.x.X: Okay, see you there.
She smiled and put away her phone before shoving her last pancake into her mouth before wiping her mouth with a napkin. I grinned at her before shoving my last pancake and placed the fork. I was about to say something but interrupted when I heard a clatter of coins on the counter. I glanced down to see Frisk put her gold down before standing up from her stool.
"Come on Sans, let's go." She said, grabbing my hand before leaving our seats and left the bar.
"Really babe?" I pouted.
"What, just because you're planning on saying that doesn't mean you're going to get away with it." I stated.
"Fine." I sighed, tighten my hold onto Frisk. "Let's just head for training..." She nodded, and immediately close her eyes as I clicked my fingers to transport us into Hotland where we saw the old laboratory. We can see our friends waiting for us by the automatic door.
Frisk's P.O.V
"Hey punks, looks like you're here just in time." Undyne greeted.
"Hey Undyne." I greeted, before looking over at Gaster. "So is this the place?"
"Yes, the test chamber is located in the True Lab in Floor B2." Gaster informed, "We can use them as training ground to practice our magic and abilities."
"Sounds great." Undyne agreed.
"Please, follow me..." He commanded, opening the automatic door as everyone followed him inside the laboratory.
I felt my biceps tightened by a bind and looked at it before glancing up at Sans, his eyes were hard to read, it look like he have been here before. I remembered he told about his past about being a scientist to Gaster before he disappeared after saving him and Papyrus. Gaster approached the elevator and gestured everyone into it. Once everyone is inside, Gaster pressed a few buttons which are unknown to us and the doors closed up before elevating itself downwards. It was long way down though, maybe because the impact will cause the whole laboratory to collapse. It took two minutes until the elevator has finally stopped and departed its doors to reveal a small room with two doors.
"Welcome to the test chamber, this is where we take the monsters with magic to test their ability." Gaster announced, "This door in front of you leads to the chamber while the on my left is the control room, where I can observe you all."
"And now you're testing us like lab rats?" Sans scoffed, only to get elbowed in the rib by me.
"Negative, however the gravitational of the chamber are highly stable meaning your strongest attack wouldn't cause so much damage since you've using them." Gaster confided, before switching his gaze upon me. "As for you Frisk, we will give you a few powers..."
"Powers?"
"You will obtain one of our powers to use in self-defense." Gaster stated.
"I think we'll give Frisk her first magic, fire magic." Toriel said, stepping in. "I will teach her how to summon her magic..."
"Very well, I'll be in the control room." Gaster chatted, walking through the automatic doors "The rest of you head inside the chamber."
Everyone nodded and waited until the doors departed open to reveal a huge room. They stepped inside the room until the doors closed up and locked so no one can leave unless Gaster say so.
"Okay everyone, I have locked the doors so once the training was over, I shall unlock them." A speaker voiced by Gaster said. "But for now, trained and get stronger."
"Asriel, Undyne, you guys are training with me. Tori, you and Asgore teach Frisk about fire magic." Sans commanded.
"Alright, come my child." Toriel instructed as she walked over to one side of the chamber with Asgore as Sans with Asriel and Undyne going to the other side. "Now, my child. I'll teach you how to summon your fire magic." She began, "Focus your mind and concentrate on your SOUL, feel the burn inside of you and you sense it, withdraw the flame out."
"Okay." I closed my eyes and concentrate inside my SOUL. I can feel my determination flowing inside of me and yet I can't sense a slight burn meaning there isn't a fire...
"Focus harder my child, that burn is still there. I can sense it..." Toriel mused.
I closed my eyes harder as my hands closed into a fist, still concentrating on that burn... Then, I felt something warm inside my SOUL and it's getting warmer each second, could this be the burn? Concentrating on that burn, I slowly took my hands out and felt the burning sensation flowing from my SOUL through my arms all the way to my hands and began to feel something hot above my hands.
"That's it, you've done it!" Toriel exclaimed.
I slowly open my eyes to peek and saw a red fire hovering above my cupped hands. A smile stretched across my lips as I continued to focus on that fire, making sure I am concentrated.
"Now, cast your fireball at Asgore." Toriel instructed.
"Don't worry about me, Frisk. I'm not hanging back so give me your shot." Asgore urged.
"Okay." I nodded, slowly motion my hands until they were held in front of me and aimed at Asgore. With confidence, I unleashed the fireball and the red fire flew across the area towards my Dad who raised his trident and slice through the fireball, causing it to disappear.
"Great work, my child. Well done." Toriel praised.
"Outstanding, you've learn a our main magic." Asgore commented, smiling proudly at me. "Please, do it again but this time on your own."
"Okay." I positioned my hands again and repeating the same method, I summon another fireball and fired at him. He blocked it again but somehow he was pushed back, seems like the force has increased.
Meanwhile, Undyne, Asriel and Sans were attacking each other with bones, stars and spears. Technically, Asriel was getting even better with his powers. His skills were impressive when he uses his Chaos Sabers. Undyne, however, wanted to him to about defending the attacks such as striking from above or below. Sans also asked him about the strange animal skull he used to save Papyrus. Asriel confided him that it was 'Hyper Goner'.
"Hyper Goner, huh? May I see it?" He asked.
"Sure." He raised his hands out and summon his Hyper Goner.
"Wow, how did you get this?"
"I don't know, I just somehow gain this..." Asriel explained, looking at the Capra blaster. "I normally use it to create a powerful vortex to absorb my opponent's attacks. I even used it to save your brother..."
"Well, gotta handle to ya. You did pretty good." Sans confirmed, making Asriel smiled proudly and disintegrated his blaster.
"Okay, I want to try out something but I need you guys to block it, okay?" Undyne instructed.
"Say what now?" Sans questioned.
"I'm going to make a powerful spear using all of my magic I can use." She positioned her hands, "So, might wanna put up your guard or something..." She narrowed her eyes into concentration as the light blue magic started to gather at her hands making into a spear, but much bigger. Sans sighed as he raised his hand engulfing in blue magic. "Ready?" Sans nodded, and Asriel hid behind him since he doesn't have a move like a shield or barrier. "NGAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Undyne launched at her huge spear at them. Sans's cyan blue eye blazed as he summon a large Gaster Blaster in front of him as a shield and the spear immediately impale into the skull, making a loud crack. Sans and Asriel gasped and the force thrown them back and sent them flying against the air. Thinking fast, Asriel quickly summon his Hyper Goner and the Capra skull appeared which caught him and Sans before they hit the ground.
"Phew, thanks for saving my bones, Asriel." Sans said.
"No prob, Sans." He replied, as his blaster set them on the ground before disappearing.
"WHOA!! Did you guys see that? That was EPIC!!!!" Undyne exclaimed, throwing her hands up in amazement. "It really goes off with a bang! I need a name for that technique..." She placed her hand under her chin and pondered until she came up with a name, " I know! I'll call that move 'Spear of Justice'!"
"Impressive! But, that goes WAY overboard." Sans jested.
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Undyne barked.
"Your attacks nearly killed both of them." He concluded.
"Oh." Undyne said, looking down in embarrassment.
Back with me, I was getting better with my fire magic. I have learn a lot of new techniques from Toriel like creating a fire wall, fire ring and fire wave. Despite I practiced so many times that Asgore was already covered in black smog and spots of smoke on his white fur, he look like he had a fire explosion or something.
"Are you okay, Gorey?" Toriel asked.
"Yes, I'm okay dear." He replied with a big smile, "I don't mind taking a lot of blasts from the fire magic, I'm used to it since Frisk has gotten a lot more longer."
"I see..." Toriel sighed, before turning her head back to me, "Well, my child. I guess that will be enough training for now. Remember that you can use this magic whenever you encounter a FIGHT, so please use MERCY after battle."
"Okay Mom." I nodded as Asgore walked over to us and pat my head while ruffling my hair with the same beaming smile.
"Come on, let's see how the others are doing?" He suggested, as we agreed and went over to our friends which looks like Asriel was blocking Undyne's spears with his Chaos Saber and use Star Blazing to counter the bones that Sans was throwing at.
"Goodness Asriel, you've gotten more stronger since you were a little boy." Toriel gasped.
"Mom, I'm 18 years old, I'm not a little boy, I'm a big boy now, a man." Asriel retorted, smiling proudly with his head held high.
Toriel giggled, "Okay, I see you indeed grown a bit."
"So, are you we done here? Cuz I need a break." Undyne asked aloud.
"Yes you may." A speaker answered, as the loud alarms rang out to signal that the doors will be parted open to allow anybody to leave this chamber. Their attention was turned to the doors as it departed open to the exit.
"Let's go everyone." Asgore commanded, as he lead the group to the exit. Once everyone was out of the chamber, the doors closed up and secured before shutting off to cut off the alarms. I turned to the door on my right to see the doors opened to reveal Gaster stepping from the control room with lots of paper in his hands.
"What are those?" I asked.
"These are results from your training, I would have appeared that your determination has become a lot stronger since you learn magic." Gaster answered, flicking through the papers, "However, there is a chance since we're going to defeat Demise and save Chara from the SOUL of HATE."
"I just hope the Chara I knew is still there..." Asriel murmured, "I just... really missed my best friend." He closed his eyes and whimper as his parents went over to comfort him. "She's a special friend to me, and I just want her back..."
"I understand how you feel Asriel, but don't worry, we'll rescue her no matter what it takes." Gaster reassured, with a genuine smile.
"Thank you." He muttered, wiping the tears with his hand.
"Now, everyone let's head over to our place, I'll prepare some dinner." Toriel insisted, as everyone agreed and went into the elevator before leaving the test chamber.
(Meanwhile... somewhere)
Chara's P.O.V
"AGH!!!" I shoved my Real Knife into another monster that was pertified of me screamed until it dissolved into dust. I grinned a wicked smile as the dust fell from my hand like sand and raised my knife to kill another monster, Snowdrake or perhaps Aaron. It doesn't matter, my LOVE has increased with the amount of EXP I gained from them. Killing them feels so good...
"NO, stay back! Get away from me!" Snowdrake screeched, moving itself further back with Aaron.
I had enough with that bend beak, he's annoying as hell. I grabbed him by the neck and stabbed my knife into him, causing him to screech and dissolved into dust. Black tears rained my crimson eyes as I shift them over to the last monster standing, Aaron.
"Please don't do this! Please, spare me. Have Mercy!" He pleaded, until he was back up against the wall. His face showed fear and panic, like he was risking his life to a certain death.
"I DoN't ThInK sO, HoRsEy~" I grimaced, as I withdrawn my knife and glared menacingly at him like a psycho killer "I DoN'T aCcEpT 'Mercy' fRoM wEaKlInGs LiKe YoU." I took a step closer with my grin widened more as the fear in Aaron's eyes grew more until they look like they were going to explode from his eyesockets. Flashing a menacing smile, I impaled him with my knife thrusted into his chest, watching him letting out a hoarse scream and dissolved into dust. Looks like my work here is done... so much EXP... so much LOVE. I became so much stronger, next time if I came across Sans or Frisk, I'll give them one last kill before Flowey can activate his RESET, this happy ending will be completely erased forever.

The good Chara gasped at what she heard from the possessed self. Frisk or Sans are going to be in serious trouble when the timeline will be RESET. She can't allow that to happen not after what she did in the past to the free the monsters by sacrificing herself for Asriel to absorb her SOUL, cross the barrier and confront the humans. She was guilty for her best friend to end up like this. She can't afford that mistake again. She has to gain control over her body to prevent from resetting or even worse, the ERASE. She fought the urge to gain control but she was too weak, the SOUL of HATE is too powerful for her. She tried again and again but she collapsed on her knees, feeling weak and pathetic, just like Frisk without LOVE.
Her garnet eyes looked back as she saw her body strolled over to another monster, killing it right before her eyes. Killing is bad, she can feel their pain knowing that her actions was not what her best friend would expect. She shouldn't toy around with the knife because he knows that knives are dangerous but she said that she needs it to protect someone that she cares about.
She allowed herself to curled up into a small ball, shrouding herself into the darkness of her mind, no the possess mind of HATE as she watches the horror scene in front of her. She buried her eyes into her kneecaps and sobbed. She became more weak, as the HATE grew stronger.
All she needed was Frisk to rescue her, even if it takes her determination to pull out from the prison of darkness and away from Demise's control...
"Frisk... Help me..."

My Sayings: 4 days until the perish commits...
*staring at the doom clock* I'm seriously not going to like this, only three chapters left and it's bye-bye to everyone in the True Pacifist Ending and hello Genocide. *checks the calendar* So far, not much readers today, I wonder what happened to them? I don't know... *throws the calendar* I wouldn't worry about them, they're just people. Anyways, I'll work on the next chapter and hopefully for the best, this should spice things up a bit.
Don't forget to leave a VOTE and COMMENT for this chapter
Peace out Buddies!
