Chapter 25 - SAVE Chara
In the Living Room...
Frisk: *looks over* Wow, you writing about saving Chara
Me: Yep, what's better saving Asriel than Chara.
Sans: Isn't she the one who butchered everyone that Frisk cares about.
Frisk: Yeah, she's mean to everyone.
Me: I won't say she was a bad person.
Frisk & Sans: Huh?!
Me: You heard me? I watched a video called 'The Truth Behind Chara' about Chara's backstory and why everyone didn't the character properly. It turns out that Chara wasn't a bad person but someone was controlling them to believe that they responsible for the Genocide and the RESETs.
Sans: Huh, I see.
Chara: *peeks out from the door* I hope they are right...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What's up Buddies! I'm back with another chapter! *throws confetti* Yes, I have finally wrote the part where is finally getting from Demise. Now, before we begin... little reminders that none of the script is canon in the game, there are simply my ways of constructing this chapter. Also, we got like two chapters to go until this story is completed. So, I'll work on that later on. Here's the chapter and I hope you enjoy this~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Normal P.O.V
Darkness thicken due to the tenseness of the atmosphere as the battle between Frisk and Chara began. Frisk with the HOPE SOUL came face-to-face with Chara with the HATE SOUL, still controlled by Demise. Sans and Asriel were meters away from them, witnessing that they should stay out of it because this is a one-on-one battle to determine which one will win. They began pray to themselves, hoping that Frisk will win this battle and get Chara out of Demise's control. No matter what, Asriel hoped his best friend is alright and Sans hoped his girlfriend can do this, after all, she is filled with determination so she will never lose.
After time has passed, Chara started to run towards her with a knife in her hand. Frisk respond to her movements by doing the same thing, charging towards her too. Getting close, they swung their blades at each others and the fencing begin. The sounds of metal clattered and banged against each other as sparks ignite from it. Chara swung overhead but Frisk raised her sword above her head to block it.
"YoU'lL nEvEr WiN, FrIsK. I wOuLd DeFeAt YoU iN nO tImE sO I cAn ERASE tHiS pAtHeTic WoRld FoReVeR." Chara taunted.
"I can't allow that to happen, Chara!" Frisk yelled, pushing her sword back against her knife. As the contact fell apart, she leap out of the way before Chara could launch an attack on her. Then, using her other hand, Chara launched red and black knives at Frisk. Reacting quickly, she held up her other hand to cast a green forcefield that was used when fighting against Undyne. The knives shattered from the barrier and pixelated, but that was about to change when she flash-stepped towards Frisk and strikes her. I jumped back because if Frisk gets strike from her knife, it will be the end of her.
"Come on babe, you can do it!" Sans encouraged.
"Don't give up yet, Frisk!" Asriel added.
"ShUt Up!" Chara yelled, unleashing a red cut-wave at them which Sans used his magic to create a barrier to protect himself and Asriel, "YoUr ChEeRiNg Is NoT gOiNg To HeLp HeR wIn!"
"They are helping me." Frisk reassured, "Encouraging me is filling me with determination." She lunged at her and with her sword changing from red to orange, she strikes her. Chara yelped as the Real Knife fell out of her hand and gripped her wrist using her other hand. She growled at her with anger and threw red knives at her before diving down to retrieve her knife by flapping her wings. Frisk can't allow Chara to get her knife, so she pointed her sword at her and shooting out golden bullets. Chara noticed a bullet past her by the head taking her by surprised and flapped her wings harder to gain speed, barrel-roll around the bullets, her eyes locked onto her knife.
With her insane smile drew across her lips as she got closer, she stretched her hand out and successfully grab her knife, rolling forward and landed her feet onto the ground before pushing herself up, soaring back into the air. She grinned at her opponent, and her knife began to glow black as she slashed a huge cut-wave, heading towards Frisk.
Reacting fast, Frisk create a green forcefield in front of her and the black cut-wave collided against the barrier. She gasped, realizing that she got distracted because Chara appeared in front of her to slashed her. Frisk countered with her sword and the pressure begins again as they pressed against each other's blade.
"I wOnDeR hOw LoNg WiLl It TaKe FoR yOu To GiVe Up NoW?" Chara asked, her words taunting Frisk to let her guard down, "BeSiDeS, tHe MoRe We KeEp FiGhTiNg, ThE wEaKeR yOu'Ll BeCoMe... YoU'lL nEvEr SaVe ChArA fRoM HATE..."
"No..." Frisk grunted, feeling her arms weaker from the strong pressure that Chara was putting in making her loose her grip onto her sword, "I will... save her..."
"LiKe HoW?" She raised an eyebrow with amuse smile.
"By using doing THIS!" Frisk yelled, pushing her with everything she got to make Chara stumble back and using her other hand, a rainbow-coloured button appeared in front of her, the SAVE button. Pressing her hand onto it, she took a deep breathe and shouted, "CHARA!!!"
Her voice boomed throughout the darkness and was left behind with echoes from her shout. Frisk looked at her, watching for any signs of Chara. But she stared back at her, emotionless and yet nothing happened. Even Sans and Asriel took notice of that...
"Please... sister?" Frisk whispered to her, with such hurt and sadness towards her.
"HeHeHeHe... DiD yOu ThInK iT's-" She was cut off when she felt something welling up in her eyes and sliding down her cheeks. She rose her hand to touch her tears and pulled back to examine, she gasped. Her tears... were as clear as water. Then, she felt something emerging from her body, "WhAt'S hApPeNiNg? WhAt DiD yOu Do?" She clutched her hand over her chest desperately, feeling a painful swell in her chest, making her hand grip harder. Suddenly, her throat gagged up something but suddenly her lips moved by its own and then...
Frisk's P.O.V
"Frisk." A soft yet gentle tone was mingling within her voice, "Help..."
I gasped, seeing a hint of garnet eyes illuminating from the crimson red eyes. It's her...
"It's Chara." Asriel yelled, joy was refilling him to hear his best friend's voice. "It's really her..."
"No, stop it!" Demise shouted that broke off Chara's tone to speak, "She can't save you! She HATES you! Everyone that the human makes friends with HATES you, even you're best friend HATES you too. Go on, tell them how much you HATE them as they HATE you?"
"Don't listen to him, Chara." I reassured, knowing what Demise was saying was a huge lie "What he was saying to you isn't true, we don't hate you and you're not alone."
Demise wouldn't let that happen if Chara got out of his control, using as much power of his own, he strengthened his mind control. Suddenly, the garnet eyes disappeared and the crimson red began to glow, gaining back into his control.
"LiAr, YoU aCtUaLlY tHiNk I wOuLd FaLl FoR tHaT?" She asked, scowling as the HATE SOUL pulsed against her chest, "PaThEtIc, I'lL kIlL yOu AnD tHeN yOu'Ll Be DiE aLoNg WiTh EvErYoNe ElSe!" She lunged at me with her knife and slashed at me again, which I dodged easily and quickly use my power to create a light blue ring to bind her arms, if she dare moves she'll get hurt. "WhAt?"
"Chara, please. Stop this, it's going to be okay." I cautioned, slowly approaching her with cautious steps as Chara thrashed around within her binds, making her grunt and getting hurt more. Her wings flap harshly like a bird struggling to fly away from the predator. Soon, I was standing in front of her and immediately wrapped my arms around her into a hug. Chara stopped thrashing and gasped when she felt the comfort feeling around her, something warm and welcoming like if she remember this feeling from a long time ago.
"No, No, NO." She yelled, wiggling herself out of my grip "StOp It, I cAn'T-" She was cut off when something impale into her back, it was cold and smooth yet strong and sharp. She looked down and saw the sword penetrate through her chest and stab directly at the HATE SOUL. "Y-YoU cAn'T-"
"That's enough, Chara." Asriel yelled out, causing Chara to look over my shoulder and glanced down to see a young goat adult below her along with the skeleton. She gasped as she saw the familiar face...
"... Asriel?" She whispered out, her gentle tone returning as it wedges through the dark voice to get her words out.
"Please, stop this." He begged, with concern and sadness in his voice "I know that deep inside of you, there is a good person who always wanted to free us from this terrible prison. The person that I always have as my best friend... especially since I don't know why you felt that way about humanity... But..." His eyes bored into Chara's eyes "Aside from everything that happened today, I don't think imposing 'kill or be killed' was for the best." His mouth twitched into a small smile "You're tired, Chara. You've been through a lot. Also... I want to let you know that..." "
"We're all here for you." They both said at the same time, as ghosts from all of my friends appeared all around Chara.
Chara gasped as she saw Toriel and Asgore smiling at her with such love and care. Her crimson red eyes started to fade away from them and was replaced with her own garnet red with clear tears running down her rosy cheeks. The HATE SOUL began to crack down the middle and soon breaks apart into shards. Her arms soon slowly wrapped around me and gave in the hug as her black wings disappeared from her back.
Normal P.O.V
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! MY PLAN TO ERASE THIS WORLD... RUINED!!!" Demise roared, his red eyes blasting with anger as he glared at Chara "YOU INSOLENT CHILD!"
"Hey, who are you callin' an 'insolent child'?" Sans questioned, narrowing his eyesockets at the wraith.
Demise turned around sharply to glare at them but he gasped to see fifty Gaster Blasters and one Hyper Goner surrounding him, aiming directly at him.
"I bet you need to have proper respect to my best friend." Asriel added.
"As for you, for treating her and Flowey to work with you with such bad intentions to ERASE our world is pathetic. I except to get rid of you for good..." Sans said, as the Gaster Blasters began to open their mouths and charging up their beams in their maws. His grin widened as he says his final words, "Get dunked on!!" With a click of his fingers, the Gaster Blasters unleashed their beams at Demise, completely obliterate him to nothing except smokes appearing around the darkness from the blast. As the smoke clears and the blasters disappeared, Sans and Asriel turned their heads to the two girls embracing each other with such love and care.
But suddenly, they noticed that Frisk started to stumble a bit before crumbling to the floor taking Chara down with her.
"Chara! Frisk!" They both yelled, running towards them and kneels down besides them.
"What happened?" Asriel asked, panic was shown in his tone.
"Remember what Gaster said? When the HOPE SOUL has been used, she'll slowly died after saving Chara." Sans mumbled, looking down at his unconscious girlfriend. "There is... no revival for her." When he said that, blue tears began to form and spill from eyesockets, rolling down his cheekbones.
Asriel bit down his lip, fighting the urge to stop crying but seeing Frisk at this stage, makes it impossible for him. Clear tears spilled from his eyes and rolled down his furry cheeks and dripped onto Chara's shirt.
"You're always such a crybaby, don't you Asriel?" A gentle voice said, breaking the mourning between the monsters.
With a surprise gasp, Asriel stopped crying and stared down at the semi-conscious Chara, her half-lidded garnet red eyes looking at him with her first real smile from a long time.
"Chara!" He engulfed her into a tight hug and cried, "It's really you, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
Chara choked a bit from the sudden hug and his strong embrace, crushing her body as Asriel realized what he done and pulled back, mumbling his apology, "It's fine Azzy, but you can't be around here any longer."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Your time is up..."
"The Resurrection..." Sans was first to notice it because he saw the dust starting to fall like sand from his fingertips, "Our time limit is... up." He turned to Asriel whose floppy ears began to dissolved to dust. "We have to go now, Asriel. Let these two be..."
"Okay..." He nodded his head before looking down at Chara, "See you around." With that, Sans and Asriel closed their eyes as their whole form was reduced to dust.
Chara's P.O.V
I felt weak since the LOVE and EXP has finally drained from my body and out of Denise's control and the HATE SOUL. My head was pounding with a huge headache despite he was caging me inside my mind to take full control of my whole body. I turned my head to look around me and saw another person beside me. Wait a minute.... I rolled over onto my side until I can see who was beside me.
"Frisk!" I half-yelled with astonishment as I pulled my weak body over and scooted closer to her unconscious body. I can't believe what I'm seeing right now, my baby sister has grown up so much since the day I disappeared into Mt. Ebott. I examined her complexion, she looks exactly like my, no, our mother since she was born.
I felt my eyes sting with hot tears welling up and streamed down my cheeks leaving a wet trail, gathered at my chin before falling onto her face with a soft splash. I carefully check her SOUL by touching her chest gently with my right hand and withdrawn back to see her SOUL, completely destroyed with no determination, her determination. I looked down to myself and saw a dull heart on my chest. To my surprise, I have one empty SOUL that doesn't have a trait meaning it was just an empty container. I looked back at her before leaning over to lay my head on her chest for a heartbeat, but there isn't one making me scared, I can't afford to lost my precious sister. I need to do something but what?
Then I remembered, I dug my hand into the pocket of my hoodie and pulled out the two syringes. Those were the ones that I stole (while being possess) from Alphys's lab. I examined closely and inside was the red substance, it was my determination that got ejected by Dr. Gaster when he was running some tests on them to see how strong my determination was from the past. Taking the dull SOUL from my chest, I snapped it into two causing me to wince with a sharp yelp and took one of the syringes. I injected the substance into my half SOUL, experimenting to see if my determination can help restore my SOUL to full.
Then, there was a miracle to see the red starting to flow and began repairing, which will take some time. Now, for my sister...
Placing the other half of the dull SOUL over Frisk's body, I was about to inject my determination into the SOUL when something glowing caught my eye. It was a small fragment of red, is this... Frisk's determination?
Then I remembered when my parents told me about their determination, my father has termination while my mother has determination. The difference between them was about their ability to persist after death. But our mother is most determined, meaning she has gain the ability see and use the SAVE points. But when she persists death, a small fragment of her determination will be left behind.
I took Frisk's left hand into mine and guide over the fragment, letting her fingertips touch it. Then, surprisingly the fragment was absorbed and appeared inside the SOUL. I feel the pride of happiness, joy and relief causing through my body as I injected my determination into her SOUL allowing her to consume it into her own.
I've waited for hours and notice a sudden movement - a twitch. Her eyes began to flutter until they were opened, revealing her beautiful chocolate brown eyes.
"Wha-what?" Hearing her voice for a very long time makes me wanna cry. I missed her hearing that voice. Her eyes were locked onto mine and gasped, "Chara?"
"Sister!" I threw myself onto her and embraced her into a tight hug, "You're okay, I thought you were dead." I cried onto her shoulder, letting my tears fall onto her shoulder. I don't care if this was stupid, it's how I feel. I felt her arms wrapped around me in comfort manner, resting her head on my shoulder.
"But I thought... I was going to die after I saved you..." She whispered quietly near my ear.
"But you did SAVE me." I assured, pulling back to look at her puzzled expression, "But you're not dead because I prevented it from happening by using theses." I showed her the two empty syringes I used, "My determination was enough to keep yourself alive since you never knew about our parent's determination. What you have was our mother's determination, meaning that your determination has left a fragment behind after you slowly persist to your death. That also means I made you touch your own fragment to recover your determination."
My sister was speechless with everything I explained to her, like she couldn't say anything at all. I was happy that she was okay, but I have repay my debt to her for saving me. I broke away from the embrace and helped her sat up onto her bottom before standing up, pulling her up with me.
"Now what do we do?" She asked.
"We need to load a SAVE file." I answered, looking around the room of darkness. "I believe we can leave this place and..." I hesitated when I remember the words that Sans spoke when I was fighting him at the Judgement Hall. About the timelines, RESETS... I knew that I died because of the Dr. Gaster's request to test my determination. Since the RESET happened, I was brought back from the start like watching a movie over and over.
"But there isn't one." Frisk replied, noticing there isn't a single SAVE star anywhere.
"There is... " I told her and remembering that there is one, "Flowey..." I walked over to the wilt flower who was beaten and torn from my possess abuse actions. I crouched down in front of him and he opened his little beady eyes.
"Chara? You're... alive." He said, giving his small smile to me.
"Yes I am, and also Frisk is here too." I gestured to my sister beside me which he shifts his gaze on her.
"Hey Frisk, nice to see your happy-go-lucky face again." He greeted with usual non-positive speech.
"Thank you, and I understand that you can't feel love but at least you are your usual self." She chatted, showing her own kindness towards the little flower.
"Say Flowey." I broke in to get his attention, "You still have your ability to SAVE in certain files, right?"
"Y-Yeah..." He answered weakly, lifting his head up a bit "Why?"
"Can you recover a SAVE file for us?" I requested.
"Recover? You mean you want me to recover a file?" He asked, looking a little surprised "I guess I can... but are you sure you want me to do this?" I nodded my head, "But... I can't... my determination is not strong enough to load a SAVE file; the one with the most determination is you two." He pointed at me and Frisk with his clipped leafy arms.
"Our determination is weak because we just got recovered from our death." I argued, "So you are the only one with enough determination to load the SAVE file."
"I-I-I guess right." He admitted weakly, "Okay, well...here goes..." Using whatever determination he has left, he was able to upload a file though it looked different.
"This is only one I can recover..." He announced, looking at the file "If this works, you girls can go home with all of your friends."
"You sure you don't want to come, Flowey?" I asked.
"Of course not, I'll stay here, alone, away from you and your happy friends." He murmured, turning his head away from us.
"I'm sorry if I had to say this but we can't leave you here." Frisk denied, kneeling down to him, "I believe that you make up and be good friends with someone."
"I do have someone that I'm good friends with." Flowey retorted.
"Who?" I questioned, curiously.
"Darkness, my only friend." He beamed with his weak smile proudly.
"How about... no." She rejected, picking him off the ground.
"Wha-What? Hey! Put me down this instant, you idiot!" He yelled, thrashing his stem body to wiggle out of her grip. She propped him on her shoulder and he immediately gave up by tying his roots around my neck to support himself
I rolled my eyes in annoyance before looking at Frisk. She looked back at me with a big smile.
"Let's go home, big sister."
"Yeah, let's go."
I hold out my hand and she grasped it into her own hand before using her other hand and touch the SAVE file, before we disappeared into thin air.
