Undertale: The Next Worldby unleashedtwilightChaptersEquestriaThe First Fallen ChildThe Meeting That Shouldn't be PossibleThe Return of The LostEquestriaEverything was gone. Nothing but darkness no matter where Frisk went. But what happened? What happened to all of her friends? The answer, as painful as it was, was simple: they were all killed. Frisk had set a happy ending for her and her friends… but she threw it all away by resetting everything. Now that she finished the other route… the genocide route, there was no way to go back. All she could do was wander in darkness… until suddenly, she heard a voice. A very familiar terrifying voice she wanted to get away from. “Interesting.” The voice said. “You want to go back. You want to go back to the world you destroyed. It was you who pushed everything to its edge. It was you who led the world to its destruction. But you cannot accept it. You think you are above consequences?” “N-no I’m not… it really was my fault…” Frisk stammered. “Then what are you looking for?” the voice asked before a brief pause. “Perhaps we can reach a compromise. You still have something I want. Give it to me, and I will bring this world back.” At first Frisk had no idea what the voice was talking about, but she just nodded and said “Alright.” “Then it is agreed.” The voice responded again. “You will give me your SOUL.” Hearing this just made her go into complete shock but at the same time she sighed in defeat. “If it’s the only way back… then……….” Just before Frisk reached an agreement however, a bright light shined in front of her. “Huh…?” The light kept getting brighter and brighter until finally the light died down and all that was seen was an open field. Nothing like the darkness she was trapped in. “What? How did I…?” Frisk asked herself looking around. She started walking around until she found a path that seemed to lead to a town. She decided to follow the path hoping there would be answers to what’s going on. As she got close to the nearby town, she noticed a sign before it. “Ponyville…?” Weird name. She got closer to the town and as soon as she was in sight of the other ponies, all Frisk would get would be confused or disturbed looks. “Literally a town full of ponies… well Snowdin was a town full of dogs.” Frisk then stopped and sighed. “Why did I have to reset everything? Everyone was happy… I had a mom who loved me…” Suddenly as she was lost in thought, she was bumped into by a pink pony with balloons covering her face. “Oh! I’m so sorry!” The pink pony exclaimed. “I’ve got so many balloons in front of me, I’m practically blind!” “Don’t worry, I shouldn’t have been standing there.” Frisk sighed. … Suddenly the pink pony peaked her head out of the balloons to see who she bumped into. “Uh… hello.” the pink pony just screamed and zoomed off in an unnatural speed away from the human. “Well that’s reassuring…” Frisk sighed again as she kept walking through town. most of the residents actually ran back in their homes after seeing the pink pony react like that. “Great… fantastic…” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elsewhere in a crystal-like castle nearby, there were six other ponies sitting in chairs around a big table. All of them doing their own thing. “What’s taking Pinkie Pie so long?” The rainbow maned pony asked the others. “All she was supposed to do was get a bunch of balloons for Starlight’s party.” “Maybe she got held up.” The purple alicorn answered. “After all, a lot of things tend to happen with her.” “She literally only had to go and get balloons from Sugarcube Corner! What could possibly happen!?” Suddenly as if on cue, Pinkie Pie burst through the door running in. “GIRLS!!” “Pinkie Pie? What happened?” Twilight asked. “And where are the balloons??” Rainbow asked getting a shove from Applejack. “What?” “Girls! I saw a weird thing through ponyville!” Pinkie exclaimed. “What do you mean a weird thing?” Fluttershy asked tilting her head. “Well… it kind of looked like those things Twilight told us about from that other world, but this thing looked a lot smaller than how Twilight told us!” Pinkie said. “Did it look dangerous…?” Fluttershy asked. “Not really. It kind of looked confused.” Pinkie shrugged. “And you said it was smaller…” Twilight groaned holding her hoof to her face. “Uh-huh.” Pinkie nodded. “Pinkie!” Twilight exclaimed. “That could’ve been a little kid! The same age as a filly!” “Oops…” Pinkie blushed. “Eheheh... My bad.” “Do you think we should go find… it?” Fluttershy suggested not knowing the gender of the being yet. “It would be best. After all it must be confusing being in a different world with an entirely different species that inhabit it.” Twilight said teleporting next to the door. “Come on Pinkie, you’re coming with me. I want you to show me where you found this being.” Pinkie nodded and hopped out the door leading the way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frisk just groaned feeling ignored by everyone in town. Being this alone just reminded the human of the mistakes she did in the underground; causing everyone there to flee and hide from her. “I haven’t even been here for 10 minutes, and everyone is afraid of me.” Frisk said to herself continuing on. She was right however. Not a single pony showed their face or came out of their homes. “Hello?” Said a voice from behind her. Frisk quickly looked behind her and tilted her head as the site of the purple alicorn standing before her. “Is this the one Pinkie?” “Yup!” Pinkie nodded. Twilight sighed stepping forward. “Hello, I’m sorry about the confusion earlier… it’s just that other than myself, nopony has ever seen a human.” “You’re the pink pony that ran away from me earlier.” Frisk mused a bit. “Uh…” Pinkie blushed. “Sorry?” “It's fine I guess. Except everyone is afraid of me now before I even got to say a word to them.” “Why don't you come back with us to the castle and explain everything that happened, okay?” Twilight asked beckoning Frisk to follow. Frisk nodded and walked behind Twilight while Pinkie Pie followed behind Frisk. “I'm Pinkie Pie by the way… What's your name?” Pinkie asked trying to make up for earlier. “My name’s Frisk.” Frisk answered. “Frisk… That's a nice name!” Pinkie beamed. “Where are you from Frisk?” Frisk just stayed silent for that question. “Something wrong?” “Pinkie!” Twilight spoke out. “Maybe it isn't the best time to be asking her these questions. For all we know, she probably has questions for us too.” Pinkie Pie huffed. “Alright…” After a long silent walk, the three soon made it to the door to the castle. “And we’re here.” Twilight smiled opening the doors. “Keep following me please.” As Frisk followed however, she stopped in place for a moment… She noticed something was off. “Something wrong Frisk?” Frisk however wasn't exactly sure herself. For she had noticed that her LOVE that was once at 20, was back down to 1. She wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad sign of something yet to come. “Frisk…?” Twilight asked again. “Huh? Oh sorry!” Frisk said snapping out of it, following again. “What was that about?” Twilight asked with a worried tone. “Nothing… It's not important.” “Are you sure?” Twilight asked again. Frisk just nodded in response. “Alright then… Let's keep going.” After another awkwardly silent walk, the three approached another door. Twilight being the one to open both doors with her magic. “We’re back everyone.” Rainbow Dash was going to be the first to respond, however she stopped right after seeing the human being in between Pinkie and Twilight. “Is…. That what Pinkie saw?” “Uh… Hi everyone.” Frisk answered staying behind Twilight. The four other ponies in the room just looked dumbfounded at the human not really sure what to think. “Alright, I'm gonna be the first to say it: how in the hay did she get here in the first place?” Applejack asked bluntly. Frisk sighed and told everyone about herself and her journey she was on. However she had only mentioned the journey before she reset everything, afraid of how they would react if they knew she was half responsible for everyone she originally met being dead. Yes she only mentioned the good route she chose. “After that, one day there was just this blinding light and I somehow ended up in an open field here.” Everypony just looked at Frisk with shock and looked sorry for her. “To think that you were pulled away from all that… What reason could there possibly be?” Rarity asked. “I have no idea…” Frisk lied looking down. “Well whatever the reason is, maybe Princess Celestia can help us figure it out. We’ll all go and see her as soon as we can.” The First Fallen ChildShe looked around at the dark forest in anger and confusion. “What is this? What happened!?” the human exclaimed looking around in the dark forest. “She was just about to give me her soul… just to get her pathetic life back! So what stopped it!?” This child roaming around in the darkness; her name was Chara. She was the first human to ever fall into the underground. She is also the only human who shared a similar soul with Frisk. Though what confused the child most was that Frisk was no longer here. They weren’t one person anymore… She was free… Coming into realization of this, Chara couldn’t help but laugh at her new found life. It had been years since she was alive.Yet as if nothing happened, she had her own body again. “Well whatever caused it, I’ll personally thank myself…” she smirked looking for a way out of the forest. She searched for hours looking for an exit, but it seemed like the more she looked the darker it became. She was about to just give up and build a fire until she heard a voice in the distance. “Hello? Is there anyone here?” Chara turned around to where the voice came from… it seemed to come from a talking zebra?... “What is a being like you doing in a place filled with darkness and fear?” Chara just stared at the zebra not answering. “Is something the matter?” “Where are you from?” Chara asked the zebra. “Where I am from is the forest you see.” The Zebra answered. “In the dark and frightening forest known as Everfree.” Chara mused getting annoyed by the rhyming. “And your name would be?” “My name is Zecora dear child. But perhaps introductions should be saved for someplace less wild.” Zecora smiled beckoning her to follow. Chara just sighed and followed the Zebra to who knows where. “What is your name, child?” “Chara.” She bluntly answered. “Can you tell me where we’re going?” “We are heading toward a safer home; the town of Ponyville where many other ponies roam.” Zecora answered again in rhyme. “Do these other ponies rhyme as much as you do?” Chara asked with a tone of annoyance. “They do not.” Zecora sighed. “But I understand if you don’t like hearing it a lot.” “Yet she keeps going…” Chara mumbled to herself. They both were just walking silently towards the town the Zebra mention. Chara looked so annoyed that she probably would’ve acted if she had her knife. But it wasn’t with her. It was with Frisk. “We are here Chara.” Zecora said pointing to the town. “I do hope you enjoy your stay.” strangely Zecora stopped rhyming and turned walking away. Chara shrugged it off and went through the town not hearing Zecora’s final words. “And may Princess Twilight protect us on this day.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Hmm…” Rarity said inspecting Frisk closely. “Uh…” Frisk said confused and slowly feeling uncomfortable. “Is everything alright?” “Far from it!” Rarity stomped her hoof down. “How could you possibly wear something so tacky like that!?” “What?” Frisk asked even more confused. “Those garments!” Rarity pointed. “Blue shirt with pink stripes? It’s so… plain.” “This is what I’ve always worn though.” “Oh darling you simply must let me do some work with you!” “Really it’s fine, you don’t have to…” Frisk said slowly backing away. Rarity simply teleporting the child back to her. “Nonsense, it is my pleasure! I refuse to see anyone trotting around with clothes like yours.” “Don’t ya think that’s going a bit far?” Applejack mused. “She ain’t even a pony Rarity.” “You’re point being Applejack?” “You’ve never made clothes for anything other than ponies… and Spike.” “Precisely!” Rarity beamed. “Just think. If I’m successful with making her new clothing, who knows what else I could do!? The possibilities are endless!” “Sorry kid, I tried.” Applejack shrugged. Frisk laughed a little bit. “It’s alright.” Twilight came back walking in with Spike following. “Alright everypony, I sent a letter to Princess Celestia explaining the situation. She said that she’d be arriving shortly.” “Princess Celestia is coming here?” Rarity gasped. “Oh dear… I must get something better to wear!” Rarity exclaimed running off. “Why would Celestia come here?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Doesn’t she normally ask us to go to there in Canterlot?” “I’m not sure why. But from what she wrote, it looked urgent.” Twilight answered sitting in her throne. “Who’s Princess Celestia?” Frisk asked tilting her head. “Oh, well she’s actually one of the rulers of Equestria. The princess who controls the sun who rules alongside her sister, Luna: the princess who controls the moon.” Twilight answered. “Did you just say controls the sun and the moon!?” Frisk asked in shock. “Since when were the sun and the moon controlled!?” “Well things must work differently where you’re from Frisk.” Fluttershy answered. “Not every place is going to be the same.” Suddenly there was a blinding flash of light in the center of the room, right over the map. When the light cleared, a tall dark blue alicorn could be seen standing on it. “Princess Luna?...” Twilight looked confused. “Why would you just--” Before Twilight could continue, Luna walked up to the human and levitated her in the air, closely inspecting her. “What is your name? Answer me now!” Luna exclaimed with a booming voice. “F-frisk! It’s Frisk!” Frisk cried out answering Luna. “Are you above consequences!?” she asked as well. “N-no I’m not! I’m not above consequences!” Frisk answered crying a bit. Luna huffed and slowly putting her down. “I apologize Frisk… I had to be sure.” “S-sure of what?” Frisk asked. Luna just looked at Frisk silently for a moment. “Come with me.” Luna said using her magic to make Frisk sleep so that she could enter her dream. Inside the dream, Frisk was just alone with Luna now. “I know you must have many questions.” “Yeah, what was that all about??” Frisk asked. “How did I get here and what’s going on??” “Would you rather be in that desolate erased world?” Frisk just widened her eyes. “You can thank my sister for getting you out of that. She felt that something was wrong and found you in the middle of it.” Frisk looked down and sighed. “Then you know what caused all of it…” “It was not all your fault Frisk.” “Huh?” Frisk looked up to Luna. “Surely you must know… you were not alone during all that transpired in that world.” “What do you mean?...” Frisk asked. “It’s why I asked for your name and asked you those questions…” Luna sighed. “It’s hard to explain, but I suppose the easiest way to say it was there was another presence inside of you.” “Who?...” “You’ve met her once… right before the world was erased from existence.” Frisk looked down trying to remember… remember what happened before everything was erased… Suddenly images started flashing in her mind. Images of the deaths of her friends in the point of view of a killer’s eyes. One by one they flashed in her mind… until the very end where the only thing she saw was a girl with a green shirt and yellow stripe on it. she was smiling with red eyes. Frisk gasped in realization. “Her name was Chara…” “Again… why I asked you those questions.” Luna looked down. “But you told me she was inside me…” “Precisely.” “Then why…?” Luna cut Frisk off looking down. “I’m afraid this was our doing… You see, my sister and I tried our best to get you away from that world at the same time trying not to bring that presence with you. The spell worked to bring you here separated… but that also meant giving this presence her body as well, transporting Chara with you.” “So you’re tell me that Chara is…” “Here… in Equestria...” The Meeting That Shouldn't be PossibleChara just silently walked passed everypony, at the same time getting strange looks from them. Some looked like they had seen her before while others looked like something was different with her. However they were thinking of a different human; not Chara. She was about to say something to them until a white Unicorn ran into her. “Ugh…” Chara groaned. “Oh dear! I apologize, it’s just I’m in such a rush that I--” The white unicorn stopped in mid sentence. “Oh… my dear when did you get out here? I don’t recall you following me.” “What are you talking about!?” Chara exclaimed in annoyance. “I don’t even know who you are!” “Well there’s no need to be so rude young lady.” Rarity glared a bit. “And it’s not nice to pretend not to know somepony especially after just meeting them a few minutes ago.” Chara just groaned. “Look, I never met you before. My name is Chara, okay?” “Chara?...” Rarity tilted her head. “Oh dear… I apologize; I could’ve sworn you were Frisk.” Chara just widened her red eyes at her. “I’m sorry. Did you just say Frisk?” “Er… yes she’s back in Princess Twilight’s castle. Do you know her?” “You could say that…” Rarity just snapped back into reality of what she was doing. “Oh goodness! I still have to go find something presentable to wear!” she exclaimed running off. Chara just looked at the crystal like castle in the distance heading in that direction. “You thought you could get away from me… hmph.” Chara huffed. “You stupid, innocent child.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “So you’re telling me that when Princess Celestia brought her here, this evil child came with her!?” Twilight exclaimed. “Precisely.” Luna nodded. “However…” “However what…?” “Something seemed a bit off.” Luna answered. “My sister did not look too concerned when it happened.” “Maybe she’s sure that this Chara won’t be able to hurt anyone?” Fluttershy asked. “No I don’t think so.” Luna replied. “She witnessed the events that occurred in the underground. She would not just dismiss that.” Frisk lowered her head a bit thinking. “Maybe she thinks Chara can change.” “Well whatever the reason, we can’t just expect to trust her right away.” “Well we have to do something.” Twilight started to get nervous. “If what you’re saying is true, that means none of us are safe.” “Actually I think we’re fine right now…” Frisk said rubbing her shoulder. “Chara doesn’t have her weapon.” “Her weapon?” Frisk just gulped taking out the ‘Real Knife’. Everypony freaked out at the site of it. Luna however did not hesitate to use her magic and destroy it. “W-whoa!” Frisk exclaimed. “We do not need a dangerous item like that in Ponyville.” Luna said with a tone of aggravation. “After all, you are a human of kindness aren’t you?” “Yeah, I’d never hurt anyone…” Frisk looked down for a moment and sighed. “Almost…” “Almost?” “Well you see… I normally am a pacifist, yes. I thought making my friends over and over again would be fun. So I kept resetting the world to do that.” “Resetting the world…?” Twilight said with complete shock and disbelief. “But…. but…” “Twilight, I shall explain later.” Luna said to the purple alicorn. “Please continue Frisk.” “After resetting a bunch of times, I guess it started to get boring… Then a voice inside me gave me an idea.” Frisk sighed. “Why not try to kill them instead? The world could easily be reset… So I did. But the more I killed… the more my LOVE increased… The more I was losing my sanity to her.” “That sounds horrifying…” Fluttershy said covering her mouth. “It’s my fault… it’s my fault everyone that everyone I cared about is dead…” Frisk stammered as tears started to form in her eyes. “If I had the power, I would take it all back. I thought selling my soul to see them again would be the answer…” “Selling your soul!?” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. “Are you crazy!?” “Rainbow Dash, please!” Twilight exclaimed back. “When you’re in a situation like that, what would you have done??” “That’s--...! … I…” Rainbow stammered a bit and sighed lowering her head. “I guess you’re right…” “I thank you for saving me from that situation… But I really didn’t deserve it.” Frisk continued crying. Luna lowered down to eye level with Frisk rubbing her head. “That’s not true… everyone deserves a second chance. Or in your case: a true reset.” “She doesn’t deserve anything like that!” Everyone just looked in the direction of where that voice came from. It was chara staring angrily at Frisk. “You! You cheated me!” “C-Chara what--...” Frisk stammered. “Shut up!” Chara exclaimed walking toward Frisk. “I don’t want to hear your damn excuses! It was your own fault for everyone in the underground died!” “That was your idea though! I would never have killed everyone if it weren’t for you!” Chara just laughed maniacally at Frisk. “Are you serious!? That first death was your choice and you know it!” She exclaimed grabbing Frisk’s shirt. “So how did you do it!? How did you escape!?” Without warning, Chara’s body was levitated and slammed down hard on the table making her unable to move. “You should be grateful, human! It was not Frisk who brought you both here, it was my sister and I! And believe me, bringing you was the last thing we had planned!” “Well then guess what? You’re both idiots for trying to save her in the first place!” Luna snorted in anger at that remark. “You dare disrespect us like this!? You are nowhere near the position to speak to us that way!” her voice echoed in her royal voice. Chara just struggled to move her body. Being in this situation just reminded her of when she fought Sans: being thrown around with her soul turned blue. “Well in a way, I guess I should thank you and your sister…” Luna just raised an eyebrow at this. “Thanks to you, I don’t need to take Frisk’s soul… I have my own.” “Half.” Luna stated. “You only have half a soul.” “Excuse me…?” “Bringing both you and Frisk here separated not just your bodies; but your souls as well.” She said stepping forward. “What this means for you, I cannot be sure. However there are a few possibilities…” “Like what?” Frisk asked. “For starters, your souls could be linked to one another. Should one of you die, so shall the other.” “So I can’t even get rid of her…” Chara said in an annoyed. “Precisely.” Luna nodded. “Perhaps this is a chance for both of you to have a new start.” The Return of The Lost“Ugh…” an older female being groaned as she lay on the ground. “Huh?” she said to herself getting a good look at her surroundings. She noticed it was a rather open field. All she had to do was look and see a town not too far in the distance. “Where am I? What is this place?” She said to herself getting up. “This can’t be the surface… can it?” she asked herself as she looked up at the open blue sky. Birds were singing, and flowers were blooming. She could even see the shining sun above. Its heart warming and blinding light felt amazing. She could hardly believe what she was seeing right now. But then another question arose from her mind… “How did I get here…? Where are the other monsters? Where is……” she widened her eyes a bit in remembrance. “My child…” This being’s name was Toriel Dreemurr; ex queen of the underground. Toriel looked back to the town in the distance. “Perhaps I may be able to find the answers I need there…” She said to herself starting to head in the direction of the town. One of the royal guards sighed entering Luna’s room. “All these events always seem to happen out of nowhere… sure disasters happening in Equestria are normal, but now murderers from another world!? What is everything coming to!?” the Stallion guard exclaimed in aggravation. “I’m really starting to question my career choice at this point…” “Nyeh…” A voice could be heard from behind the bed. “Hm?” the guard looked in the direction of the voice. “Who goes there!?” silence… “This isn’t funny… come out with your hooves where I can see them!” he said walking to the direction of where the voice originally came from. Suddenly, source of the voice raised his head and was face to face with the guard pony… it was a tall skinny looking skeleton. … “NYEEEH!” the skeleton shrieked. “Oh my god! Is this animal wearing armor!?” “W-whoa what the!? Is this skeleton talking to me!?” The guard pony exclaimed in response. “Oh my god! It even talks!” “Wha--!? Of course I can talk!” the guard exclaimed. “I’m more concerned with the talking skeleton in front of me!” “Of course I can talk, all skeletons can talk!” The skeleton exclaimed. “Just ask my brother, Sa--” he stopped and looked around. “Hey wait… where am I?” “Wha-- you don’t even know how you got here?” The skeleton shook his head. “All i remember is being in Snowdin, there was a blizzard, and now suddenly I’m here!” “Snowdin?... Blizzard?... it’s the middle of Summer.” The guard pony mused. “That doesn’t matter, it always snows!” “Uh… look weirdo, what’s your name anyways?” “I am the Great Papyrus! In training to be a royal guard!” “Pfft… you? A royal guard?” “What’s so funny!?” Papyrus exclaimed. “I’ll have you know that I have been training for years to be in the royal guard. Trained by Captain Undyne herself!” “Well whatever royal guard you were training for, it’s not here. I doubt Princess Celestia would have a skeleton as a royal guard.” “Nyeh? Princess Celestia? Who in the underground is that?” “Uh… this isn’t underground, it’s above ground…” “Oh.” … “OH MY GOD!!” “Ugh…” a deep male voice said in one of the corridors of the castle in the Crystal empire. “Huh?” he said looking around. “This is weird.” he said getting up. He started to look around at his surroundings. “Huh… place looks easy to clean.” he said with a smile. “Still… not the place I know.” he said going to the window to look outside… but wasn’t expecting what he saw: the sun. “... this place is definitely not the underground.” “Uh… E-excuse me?” a female sounding voice chimed in. The male turned to the source of the voice to find a Pink alicorn… levitating an alicorn baby beside her. “Who ar--” she stopped mid-sentence looking at the being's body… it was another skeleton but less thin than the other one. “Oh my goodness… what… are you?” the alicorn asked in shock. “What are you?” the skeleton replied with a smile, not seeming to be hurt by the question. “Me?” the pony exclaimed. “I’m an alicorn pony!” “Huh. cool.” The skeleton shrugged walking to the alicorn. “Well alicorn pony, don’t you know how to greet a new friend?” he asked holding his hand out. “N-new friend?” the alicorn asked but slowly extended her hoof hesitantly. As soon as her hoof made contact with the skeleton’s hand… Pffffft… … “Heh, the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick. Never gets old.” The pink alicorn looked dumbfounded… but eventually couldn’t help but smile and laugh a bit. “Heh, knew that would get ya.” the skeleton smiled again. “My name is Cadence… what’s your name?” She asked. “Name’s Sans.” “Well Sans… may I ask what you are doing in my castle?” “This is your castle?” Sans asked. “Huh… nice place.” “Wait you didn’t even know who’s castle this was?” “Nope.” … “Aren’t you… a little concerned?” “Not really.” … “Okay… I’m going to inform my husband about your arrival. We’re probably going to inform Celestia as well… this isn’t exactly normal you know.” “That’s fine.” Sans nodded leaning against the wall. “Take your time.” “Right…” Cadence nodded and slowly started making her way back to her room. Sans was alone with his eyes closed. He knew what happened… and he knew the cause of it all… “That kid…” one of his eyes started glowing blue for a split second before stopping. “What the hell is going on here…?” Luna was talking in private with Chara and Frisk… when suddenly a scroll appeared in front of her. “Hm?” Luna said opening the scroll. Her eye just read the scroll, eyes darting back and forth. “Impossible.. This can’t be!” “What could it possibly be?” Chara groaned. “It’s… from Canterlot.” Luna said. “Saying one of the guards found a tall looking skeleton in my room…?” Frisk was the first to gasp and run up to Luna. “T-tall skeleton!? Are you serious!?” “That’s what the message says…” “N-no way… Papyrus…?” Frisk said started crying a bit. “What?” Chara said getting up. “What do you mean Papyrus? You killed him too.” Frisk looked down realizing… would Papyrus remember what she did? If he does, would he forgive her…? “I… I don’t know if I should even see him if it actually is Papyrus. He must be angry with me…” “Perhaps this is my sister’s doing… she must be reconstructing the world as you knew it before.” Luna said. “But that doesn’t make any sense, we could just reset it.” Chara said bluntly. Luna raised an eyebrow. “Under what cost?” “...Fair point.” Chara shrugged. “Why are you so angry anyways? You have your own body now because of what my sister did.” “My own body, but only half a soul… after all how do we know that this soul sharing effect is guaranteed? I could just kill frisk myself and gain the other half right now for all I know…” Chara said glaring at Frisk. “There is no way in Equestria I would ever allow you to try that.” Luna snorted. “Ugh… this place sucks!” Chara exclaimed. Suddenly another scroll appeared in front of Luna… it’s addressed to both Princess Luna and Celestia. “Another one…?” Luna said opening the scroll. “This one is from the Crystal empire now?” she kept reading on through the letter. Her eyes widened this time. “Oh dear…” “W-what is it…?” Frisk asked hesitantly. “Princess Cadence just informed me of another skeleton… this time appearing in her castle.” “Another… skeleton…?” Chara asked getting wide-eyed. “It’s him… the damn comedian; I just know it is!” “What’s going on?” Frisk asked. “How are Sans and Papyrus here?” “None of this makes any sense!” Chara exclaimed. “So what now: You’re going to tell me that Sun Princess of your can bring people back from the dead!?” “My sister did not inform me of this… no wonder she didn’t look worried.” Luna sighed. “I seriously wish she would communicate with me though.” “S-so wait… if those two are back, doesn’t that mean--” Frisk was cut off seeing the door open. “Huh?” “All these… creatures are different from the monsters in the ruins.” Toriel said to herself passing by a crowd of ponies. All of them just giving her strange looks, similar to how they were for Frisk and Chara. Sure they were human. But Toriel was something else entirely. Suddenly while lost in thought, she felt a bump from below. “Hm?” “Oh gracious I'm terribly sorry.” A white fancy dressed unicorn said apologizing. The unicorn looked up at Toriel… Only to be dumbfounded from seeing someone that wasn't even human this time! “Sweet Celestia… Who and… For that matter what are you?” “Oh, forgive me. My name is Toriel…” She said helping the pony to her hooves. “Well pleasure to meet you… Toriel. My name is Rarity.” “Rarity… What a lovely name. I don't suppose you could help me.” “Hm? Whatever do you need dear?” “Well… I honestly don't know how I came here. I'm mainly looking for answers.” “Well if you keep going to the castle over there, my friend Twilight may be able to answer your questions.” “Thank you so much Rarity.” Toriel smiled heading to the direction of the castle. “I hope you find the answers you’re looking for!” Rarity exclaimed. “S-so wait… if those two are back, doesn’t that mean--” Frisk was cut off seeing the door open. “Huh?” “Heh… You know kid, it ain't as easy getting around in this place as it is back home.” Sans said angrily with a glowing blue eye. Author's Note I know... I know... *sigh* sorry everyone... Everything's just been hectic and busy for me so I'm a little rusty...
EquestriaEverything was gone. Nothing but darkness no matter where Frisk went. But what happened? What happened to all of her friends? The answer, as painful as it was, was simple: they were all killed. Frisk had set a happy ending for her and her friends… but she threw it all away by resetting everything. Now that she finished the other route… the genocide route, there was no way to go back. All she could do was wander in darkness… until suddenly, she heard a voice. A very familiar terrifying voice she wanted to get away from. “Interesting.” The voice said. “You want to go back. You want to go back to the world you destroyed. It was you who pushed everything to its edge. It was you who led the world to its destruction. But you cannot accept it. You think you are above consequences?” “N-no I’m not… it really was my fault…” Frisk stammered. “Then what are you looking for?” the voice asked before a brief pause. “Perhaps we can reach a compromise. You still have something I want. Give it to me, and I will bring this world back.” At first Frisk had no idea what the voice was talking about, but she just nodded and said “Alright.” “Then it is agreed.” The voice responded again. “You will give me your SOUL.” Hearing this just made her go into complete shock but at the same time she sighed in defeat. “If it’s the only way back… then……….” Just before Frisk reached an agreement however, a bright light shined in front of her. “Huh…?” The light kept getting brighter and brighter until finally the light died down and all that was seen was an open field. Nothing like the darkness she was trapped in. “What? How did I…?” Frisk asked herself looking around. She started walking around until she found a path that seemed to lead to a town. She decided to follow the path hoping there would be answers to what’s going on. As she got close to the nearby town, she noticed a sign before it. “Ponyville…?” Weird name. She got closer to the town and as soon as she was in sight of the other ponies, all Frisk would get would be confused or disturbed looks. “Literally a town full of ponies… well Snowdin was a town full of dogs.” Frisk then stopped and sighed. “Why did I have to reset everything? Everyone was happy… I had a mom who loved me…” Suddenly as she was lost in thought, she was bumped into by a pink pony with balloons covering her face. “Oh! I’m so sorry!” The pink pony exclaimed. “I’ve got so many balloons in front of me, I’m practically blind!” “Don’t worry, I shouldn’t have been standing there.” Frisk sighed. … Suddenly the pink pony peaked her head out of the balloons to see who she bumped into. “Uh… hello.” the pink pony just screamed and zoomed off in an unnatural speed away from the human. “Well that’s reassuring…” Frisk sighed again as she kept walking through town. most of the residents actually ran back in their homes after seeing the pink pony react like that. “Great… fantastic…” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elsewhere in a crystal-like castle nearby, there were six other ponies sitting in chairs around a big table. All of them doing their own thing. “What’s taking Pinkie Pie so long?” The rainbow maned pony asked the others. “All she was supposed to do was get a bunch of balloons for Starlight’s party.” “Maybe she got held up.” The purple alicorn answered. “After all, a lot of things tend to happen with her.” “She literally only had to go and get balloons from Sugarcube Corner! What could possibly happen!?” Suddenly as if on cue, Pinkie Pie burst through the door running in. “GIRLS!!” “Pinkie Pie? What happened?” Twilight asked. “And where are the balloons??” Rainbow asked getting a shove from Applejack. “What?” “Girls! I saw a weird thing through ponyville!” Pinkie exclaimed. “What do you mean a weird thing?” Fluttershy asked tilting her head. “Well… it kind of looked like those things Twilight told us about from that other world, but this thing looked a lot smaller than how Twilight told us!” Pinkie said. “Did it look dangerous…?” Fluttershy asked. “Not really. It kind of looked confused.” Pinkie shrugged. “And you said it was smaller…” Twilight groaned holding her hoof to her face. “Uh-huh.” Pinkie nodded. “Pinkie!” Twilight exclaimed. “That could’ve been a little kid! The same age as a filly!” “Oops…” Pinkie blushed. “Eheheh... My bad.” “Do you think we should go find… it?” Fluttershy suggested not knowing the gender of the being yet. “It would be best. After all it must be confusing being in a different world with an entirely different species that inhabit it.” Twilight said teleporting next to the door. “Come on Pinkie, you’re coming with me. I want you to show me where you found this being.” Pinkie nodded and hopped out the door leading the way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frisk just groaned feeling ignored by everyone in town. Being this alone just reminded the human of the mistakes she did in the underground; causing everyone there to flee and hide from her. “I haven’t even been here for 10 minutes, and everyone is afraid of me.” Frisk said to herself continuing on. She was right however. Not a single pony showed their face or came out of their homes. “Hello?” Said a voice from behind her. Frisk quickly looked behind her and tilted her head as the site of the purple alicorn standing before her. “Is this the one Pinkie?” “Yup!” Pinkie nodded. Twilight sighed stepping forward. “Hello, I’m sorry about the confusion earlier… it’s just that other than myself, nopony has ever seen a human.” “You’re the pink pony that ran away from me earlier.” Frisk mused a bit. “Uh…” Pinkie blushed. “Sorry?” “It's fine I guess. Except everyone is afraid of me now before I even got to say a word to them.” “Why don't you come back with us to the castle and explain everything that happened, okay?” Twilight asked beckoning Frisk to follow. Frisk nodded and walked behind Twilight while Pinkie Pie followed behind Frisk. “I'm Pinkie Pie by the way… What's your name?” Pinkie asked trying to make up for earlier. “My name’s Frisk.” Frisk answered. “Frisk… That's a nice name!” Pinkie beamed. “Where are you from Frisk?” Frisk just stayed silent for that question. “Something wrong?” “Pinkie!” Twilight spoke out. “Maybe it isn't the best time to be asking her these questions. For all we know, she probably has questions for us too.” Pinkie Pie huffed. “Alright…” After a long silent walk, the three soon made it to the door to the castle. “And we’re here.” Twilight smiled opening the doors. “Keep following me please.” As Frisk followed however, she stopped in place for a moment… She noticed something was off. “Something wrong Frisk?” Frisk however wasn't exactly sure herself. For she had noticed that her LOVE that was once at 20, was back down to 1. She wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad sign of something yet to come. “Frisk…?” Twilight asked again. “Huh? Oh sorry!” Frisk said snapping out of it, following again. “What was that about?” Twilight asked with a worried tone. “Nothing… It's not important.” “Are you sure?” Twilight asked again. Frisk just nodded in response. “Alright then… Let's keep going.” After another awkwardly silent walk, the three approached another door. Twilight being the one to open both doors with her magic. “We’re back everyone.” Rainbow Dash was going to be the first to respond, however she stopped right after seeing the human being in between Pinkie and Twilight. “Is…. That what Pinkie saw?” “Uh… Hi everyone.” Frisk answered staying behind Twilight. The four other ponies in the room just looked dumbfounded at the human not really sure what to think. “Alright, I'm gonna be the first to say it: how in the hay did she get here in the first place?” Applejack asked bluntly. Frisk sighed and told everyone about herself and her journey she was on. However she had only mentioned the journey before she reset everything, afraid of how they would react if they knew she was half responsible for everyone she originally met being dead. Yes she only mentioned the good route she chose. “After that, one day there was just this blinding light and I somehow ended up in an open field here.” Everypony just looked at Frisk with shock and looked sorry for her. “To think that you were pulled away from all that… What reason could there possibly be?” Rarity asked. “I have no idea…” Frisk lied looking down. “Well whatever the reason is, maybe Princess Celestia can help us figure it out. We’ll all go and see her as soon as we can.”
The First Fallen ChildShe looked around at the dark forest in anger and confusion. “What is this? What happened!?” the human exclaimed looking around in the dark forest. “She was just about to give me her soul… just to get her pathetic life back! So what stopped it!?” This child roaming around in the darkness; her name was Chara. She was the first human to ever fall into the underground. She is also the only human who shared a similar soul with Frisk. Though what confused the child most was that Frisk was no longer here. They weren’t one person anymore… She was free… Coming into realization of this, Chara couldn’t help but laugh at her new found life. It had been years since she was alive.Yet as if nothing happened, she had her own body again. “Well whatever caused it, I’ll personally thank myself…” she smirked looking for a way out of the forest. She searched for hours looking for an exit, but it seemed like the more she looked the darker it became. She was about to just give up and build a fire until she heard a voice in the distance. “Hello? Is there anyone here?” Chara turned around to where the voice came from… it seemed to come from a talking zebra?... “What is a being like you doing in a place filled with darkness and fear?” Chara just stared at the zebra not answering. “Is something the matter?” “Where are you from?” Chara asked the zebra. “Where I am from is the forest you see.” The Zebra answered. “In the dark and frightening forest known as Everfree.” Chara mused getting annoyed by the rhyming. “And your name would be?” “My name is Zecora dear child. But perhaps introductions should be saved for someplace less wild.” Zecora smiled beckoning her to follow. Chara just sighed and followed the Zebra to who knows where. “What is your name, child?” “Chara.” She bluntly answered. “Can you tell me where we’re going?” “We are heading toward a safer home; the town of Ponyville where many other ponies roam.” Zecora answered again in rhyme. “Do these other ponies rhyme as much as you do?” Chara asked with a tone of annoyance. “They do not.” Zecora sighed. “But I understand if you don’t like hearing it a lot.” “Yet she keeps going…” Chara mumbled to herself. They both were just walking silently towards the town the Zebra mention. Chara looked so annoyed that she probably would’ve acted if she had her knife. But it wasn’t with her. It was with Frisk. “We are here Chara.” Zecora said pointing to the town. “I do hope you enjoy your stay.” strangely Zecora stopped rhyming and turned walking away. Chara shrugged it off and went through the town not hearing Zecora’s final words. “And may Princess Twilight protect us on this day.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Hmm…” Rarity said inspecting Frisk closely. “Uh…” Frisk said confused and slowly feeling uncomfortable. “Is everything alright?” “Far from it!” Rarity stomped her hoof down. “How could you possibly wear something so tacky like that!?” “What?” Frisk asked even more confused. “Those garments!” Rarity pointed. “Blue shirt with pink stripes? It’s so… plain.” “This is what I’ve always worn though.” “Oh darling you simply must let me do some work with you!” “Really it’s fine, you don’t have to…” Frisk said slowly backing away. Rarity simply teleporting the child back to her. “Nonsense, it is my pleasure! I refuse to see anyone trotting around with clothes like yours.” “Don’t ya think that’s going a bit far?” Applejack mused. “She ain’t even a pony Rarity.” “You’re point being Applejack?” “You’ve never made clothes for anything other than ponies… and Spike.” “Precisely!” Rarity beamed. “Just think. If I’m successful with making her new clothing, who knows what else I could do!? The possibilities are endless!” “Sorry kid, I tried.” Applejack shrugged. Frisk laughed a little bit. “It’s alright.” Twilight came back walking in with Spike following. “Alright everypony, I sent a letter to Princess Celestia explaining the situation. She said that she’d be arriving shortly.” “Princess Celestia is coming here?” Rarity gasped. “Oh dear… I must get something better to wear!” Rarity exclaimed running off. “Why would Celestia come here?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Doesn’t she normally ask us to go to there in Canterlot?” “I’m not sure why. But from what she wrote, it looked urgent.” Twilight answered sitting in her throne. “Who’s Princess Celestia?” Frisk asked tilting her head. “Oh, well she’s actually one of the rulers of Equestria. The princess who controls the sun who rules alongside her sister, Luna: the princess who controls the moon.” Twilight answered. “Did you just say controls the sun and the moon!?” Frisk asked in shock. “Since when were the sun and the moon controlled!?” “Well things must work differently where you’re from Frisk.” Fluttershy answered. “Not every place is going to be the same.” Suddenly there was a blinding flash of light in the center of the room, right over the map. When the light cleared, a tall dark blue alicorn could be seen standing on it. “Princess Luna?...” Twilight looked confused. “Why would you just--” Before Twilight could continue, Luna walked up to the human and levitated her in the air, closely inspecting her. “What is your name? Answer me now!” Luna exclaimed with a booming voice. “F-frisk! It’s Frisk!” Frisk cried out answering Luna. “Are you above consequences!?” she asked as well. “N-no I’m not! I’m not above consequences!” Frisk answered crying a bit. Luna huffed and slowly putting her down. “I apologize Frisk… I had to be sure.” “S-sure of what?” Frisk asked. Luna just looked at Frisk silently for a moment. “Come with me.” Luna said using her magic to make Frisk sleep so that she could enter her dream. Inside the dream, Frisk was just alone with Luna now. “I know you must have many questions.” “Yeah, what was that all about??” Frisk asked. “How did I get here and what’s going on??” “Would you rather be in that desolate erased world?” Frisk just widened her eyes. “You can thank my sister for getting you out of that. She felt that something was wrong and found you in the middle of it.” Frisk looked down and sighed. “Then you know what caused all of it…” “It was not all your fault Frisk.” “Huh?” Frisk looked up to Luna. “Surely you must know… you were not alone during all that transpired in that world.” “What do you mean?...” Frisk asked. “It’s why I asked for your name and asked you those questions…” Luna sighed. “It’s hard to explain, but I suppose the easiest way to say it was there was another presence inside of you.” “Who?...” “You’ve met her once… right before the world was erased from existence.” Frisk looked down trying to remember… remember what happened before everything was erased… Suddenly images started flashing in her mind. Images of the deaths of her friends in the point of view of a killer’s eyes. One by one they flashed in her mind… until the very end where the only thing she saw was a girl with a green shirt and yellow stripe on it. she was smiling with red eyes. Frisk gasped in realization. “Her name was Chara…” “Again… why I asked you those questions.” Luna looked down. “But you told me she was inside me…” “Precisely.” “Then why…?” Luna cut Frisk off looking down. “I’m afraid this was our doing… You see, my sister and I tried our best to get you away from that world at the same time trying not to bring that presence with you. The spell worked to bring you here separated… but that also meant giving this presence her body as well, transporting Chara with you.” “So you’re tell me that Chara is…” “Here… in Equestria...”
The Meeting That Shouldn't be PossibleChara just silently walked passed everypony, at the same time getting strange looks from them. Some looked like they had seen her before while others looked like something was different with her. However they were thinking of a different human; not Chara. She was about to say something to them until a white Unicorn ran into her. “Ugh…” Chara groaned. “Oh dear! I apologize, it’s just I’m in such a rush that I--” The white unicorn stopped in mid sentence. “Oh… my dear when did you get out here? I don’t recall you following me.” “What are you talking about!?” Chara exclaimed in annoyance. “I don’t even know who you are!” “Well there’s no need to be so rude young lady.” Rarity glared a bit. “And it’s not nice to pretend not to know somepony especially after just meeting them a few minutes ago.” Chara just groaned. “Look, I never met you before. My name is Chara, okay?” “Chara?...” Rarity tilted her head. “Oh dear… I apologize; I could’ve sworn you were Frisk.” Chara just widened her red eyes at her. “I’m sorry. Did you just say Frisk?” “Er… yes she’s back in Princess Twilight’s castle. Do you know her?” “You could say that…” Rarity just snapped back into reality of what she was doing. “Oh goodness! I still have to go find something presentable to wear!” she exclaimed running off. Chara just looked at the crystal like castle in the distance heading in that direction. “You thought you could get away from me… hmph.” Chara huffed. “You stupid, innocent child.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “So you’re telling me that when Princess Celestia brought her here, this evil child came with her!?” Twilight exclaimed. “Precisely.” Luna nodded. “However…” “However what…?” “Something seemed a bit off.” Luna answered. “My sister did not look too concerned when it happened.” “Maybe she’s sure that this Chara won’t be able to hurt anyone?” Fluttershy asked. “No I don’t think so.” Luna replied. “She witnessed the events that occurred in the underground. She would not just dismiss that.” Frisk lowered her head a bit thinking. “Maybe she thinks Chara can change.” “Well whatever the reason, we can’t just expect to trust her right away.” “Well we have to do something.” Twilight started to get nervous. “If what you’re saying is true, that means none of us are safe.” “Actually I think we’re fine right now…” Frisk said rubbing her shoulder. “Chara doesn’t have her weapon.” “Her weapon?” Frisk just gulped taking out the ‘Real Knife’. Everypony freaked out at the site of it. Luna however did not hesitate to use her magic and destroy it. “W-whoa!” Frisk exclaimed. “We do not need a dangerous item like that in Ponyville.” Luna said with a tone of aggravation. “After all, you are a human of kindness aren’t you?” “Yeah, I’d never hurt anyone…” Frisk looked down for a moment and sighed. “Almost…” “Almost?” “Well you see… I normally am a pacifist, yes. I thought making my friends over and over again would be fun. So I kept resetting the world to do that.” “Resetting the world…?” Twilight said with complete shock and disbelief. “But…. but…” “Twilight, I shall explain later.” Luna said to the purple alicorn. “Please continue Frisk.” “After resetting a bunch of times, I guess it started to get boring… Then a voice inside me gave me an idea.” Frisk sighed. “Why not try to kill them instead? The world could easily be reset… So I did. But the more I killed… the more my LOVE increased… The more I was losing my sanity to her.” “That sounds horrifying…” Fluttershy said covering her mouth. “It’s my fault… it’s my fault everyone that everyone I cared about is dead…” Frisk stammered as tears started to form in her eyes. “If I had the power, I would take it all back. I thought selling my soul to see them again would be the answer…” “Selling your soul!?” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. “Are you crazy!?” “Rainbow Dash, please!” Twilight exclaimed back. “When you’re in a situation like that, what would you have done??” “That’s--...! … I…” Rainbow stammered a bit and sighed lowering her head. “I guess you’re right…” “I thank you for saving me from that situation… But I really didn’t deserve it.” Frisk continued crying. Luna lowered down to eye level with Frisk rubbing her head. “That’s not true… everyone deserves a second chance. Or in your case: a true reset.” “She doesn’t deserve anything like that!” Everyone just looked in the direction of where that voice came from. It was chara staring angrily at Frisk. “You! You cheated me!” “C-Chara what--...” Frisk stammered. “Shut up!” Chara exclaimed walking toward Frisk. “I don’t want to hear your damn excuses! It was your own fault for everyone in the underground died!” “That was your idea though! I would never have killed everyone if it weren’t for you!” Chara just laughed maniacally at Frisk. “Are you serious!? That first death was your choice and you know it!” She exclaimed grabbing Frisk’s shirt. “So how did you do it!? How did you escape!?” Without warning, Chara’s body was levitated and slammed down hard on the table making her unable to move. “You should be grateful, human! It was not Frisk who brought you both here, it was my sister and I! And believe me, bringing you was the last thing we had planned!” “Well then guess what? You’re both idiots for trying to save her in the first place!” Luna snorted in anger at that remark. “You dare disrespect us like this!? You are nowhere near the position to speak to us that way!” her voice echoed in her royal voice. Chara just struggled to move her body. Being in this situation just reminded her of when she fought Sans: being thrown around with her soul turned blue. “Well in a way, I guess I should thank you and your sister…” Luna just raised an eyebrow at this. “Thanks to you, I don’t need to take Frisk’s soul… I have my own.” “Half.” Luna stated. “You only have half a soul.” “Excuse me…?” “Bringing both you and Frisk here separated not just your bodies; but your souls as well.” She said stepping forward. “What this means for you, I cannot be sure. However there are a few possibilities…” “Like what?” Frisk asked. “For starters, your souls could be linked to one another. Should one of you die, so shall the other.” “So I can’t even get rid of her…” Chara said in an annoyed. “Precisely.” Luna nodded. “Perhaps this is a chance for both of you to have a new start.”
The Return of The Lost“Ugh…” an older female being groaned as she lay on the ground. “Huh?” she said to herself getting a good look at her surroundings. She noticed it was a rather open field. All she had to do was look and see a town not too far in the distance. “Where am I? What is this place?” She said to herself getting up. “This can’t be the surface… can it?” she asked herself as she looked up at the open blue sky. Birds were singing, and flowers were blooming. She could even see the shining sun above. Its heart warming and blinding light felt amazing. She could hardly believe what she was seeing right now. But then another question arose from her mind… “How did I get here…? Where are the other monsters? Where is……” she widened her eyes a bit in remembrance. “My child…” This being’s name was Toriel Dreemurr; ex queen of the underground. Toriel looked back to the town in the distance. “Perhaps I may be able to find the answers I need there…” She said to herself starting to head in the direction of the town. One of the royal guards sighed entering Luna’s room. “All these events always seem to happen out of nowhere… sure disasters happening in Equestria are normal, but now murderers from another world!? What is everything coming to!?” the Stallion guard exclaimed in aggravation. “I’m really starting to question my career choice at this point…” “Nyeh…” A voice could be heard from behind the bed. “Hm?” the guard looked in the direction of the voice. “Who goes there!?” silence… “This isn’t funny… come out with your hooves where I can see them!” he said walking to the direction of where the voice originally came from. Suddenly, source of the voice raised his head and was face to face with the guard pony… it was a tall skinny looking skeleton. … “NYEEEH!” the skeleton shrieked. “Oh my god! Is this animal wearing armor!?” “W-whoa what the!? Is this skeleton talking to me!?” The guard pony exclaimed in response. “Oh my god! It even talks!” “Wha--!? Of course I can talk!” the guard exclaimed. “I’m more concerned with the talking skeleton in front of me!” “Of course I can talk, all skeletons can talk!” The skeleton exclaimed. “Just ask my brother, Sa--” he stopped and looked around. “Hey wait… where am I?” “Wha-- you don’t even know how you got here?” The skeleton shook his head. “All i remember is being in Snowdin, there was a blizzard, and now suddenly I’m here!” “Snowdin?... Blizzard?... it’s the middle of Summer.” The guard pony mused. “That doesn’t matter, it always snows!” “Uh… look weirdo, what’s your name anyways?” “I am the Great Papyrus! In training to be a royal guard!” “Pfft… you? A royal guard?” “What’s so funny!?” Papyrus exclaimed. “I’ll have you know that I have been training for years to be in the royal guard. Trained by Captain Undyne herself!” “Well whatever royal guard you were training for, it’s not here. I doubt Princess Celestia would have a skeleton as a royal guard.” “Nyeh? Princess Celestia? Who in the underground is that?” “Uh… this isn’t underground, it’s above ground…” “Oh.” … “OH MY GOD!!” “Ugh…” a deep male voice said in one of the corridors of the castle in the Crystal empire. “Huh?” he said looking around. “This is weird.” he said getting up. He started to look around at his surroundings. “Huh… place looks easy to clean.” he said with a smile. “Still… not the place I know.” he said going to the window to look outside… but wasn’t expecting what he saw: the sun. “... this place is definitely not the underground.” “Uh… E-excuse me?” a female sounding voice chimed in. The male turned to the source of the voice to find a Pink alicorn… levitating an alicorn baby beside her. “Who ar--” she stopped mid-sentence looking at the being's body… it was another skeleton but less thin than the other one. “Oh my goodness… what… are you?” the alicorn asked in shock. “What are you?” the skeleton replied with a smile, not seeming to be hurt by the question. “Me?” the pony exclaimed. “I’m an alicorn pony!” “Huh. cool.” The skeleton shrugged walking to the alicorn. “Well alicorn pony, don’t you know how to greet a new friend?” he asked holding his hand out. “N-new friend?” the alicorn asked but slowly extended her hoof hesitantly. As soon as her hoof made contact with the skeleton’s hand… Pffffft… … “Heh, the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick. Never gets old.” The pink alicorn looked dumbfounded… but eventually couldn’t help but smile and laugh a bit. “Heh, knew that would get ya.” the skeleton smiled again. “My name is Cadence… what’s your name?” She asked. “Name’s Sans.” “Well Sans… may I ask what you are doing in my castle?” “This is your castle?” Sans asked. “Huh… nice place.” “Wait you didn’t even know who’s castle this was?” “Nope.” … “Aren’t you… a little concerned?” “Not really.” … “Okay… I’m going to inform my husband about your arrival. We’re probably going to inform Celestia as well… this isn’t exactly normal you know.” “That’s fine.” Sans nodded leaning against the wall. “Take your time.” “Right…” Cadence nodded and slowly started making her way back to her room. Sans was alone with his eyes closed. He knew what happened… and he knew the cause of it all… “That kid…” one of his eyes started glowing blue for a split second before stopping. “What the hell is going on here…?” Luna was talking in private with Chara and Frisk… when suddenly a scroll appeared in front of her. “Hm?” Luna said opening the scroll. Her eye just read the scroll, eyes darting back and forth. “Impossible.. This can’t be!” “What could it possibly be?” Chara groaned. “It’s… from Canterlot.” Luna said. “Saying one of the guards found a tall looking skeleton in my room…?” Frisk was the first to gasp and run up to Luna. “T-tall skeleton!? Are you serious!?” “That’s what the message says…” “N-no way… Papyrus…?” Frisk said started crying a bit. “What?” Chara said getting up. “What do you mean Papyrus? You killed him too.” Frisk looked down realizing… would Papyrus remember what she did? If he does, would he forgive her…? “I… I don’t know if I should even see him if it actually is Papyrus. He must be angry with me…” “Perhaps this is my sister’s doing… she must be reconstructing the world as you knew it before.” Luna said. “But that doesn’t make any sense, we could just reset it.” Chara said bluntly. Luna raised an eyebrow. “Under what cost?” “...Fair point.” Chara shrugged. “Why are you so angry anyways? You have your own body now because of what my sister did.” “My own body, but only half a soul… after all how do we know that this soul sharing effect is guaranteed? I could just kill frisk myself and gain the other half right now for all I know…” Chara said glaring at Frisk. “There is no way in Equestria I would ever allow you to try that.” Luna snorted. “Ugh… this place sucks!” Chara exclaimed. Suddenly another scroll appeared in front of Luna… it’s addressed to both Princess Luna and Celestia. “Another one…?” Luna said opening the scroll. “This one is from the Crystal empire now?” she kept reading on through the letter. Her eyes widened this time. “Oh dear…” “W-what is it…?” Frisk asked hesitantly. “Princess Cadence just informed me of another skeleton… this time appearing in her castle.” “Another… skeleton…?” Chara asked getting wide-eyed. “It’s him… the damn comedian; I just know it is!” “What’s going on?” Frisk asked. “How are Sans and Papyrus here?” “None of this makes any sense!” Chara exclaimed. “So what now: You’re going to tell me that Sun Princess of your can bring people back from the dead!?” “My sister did not inform me of this… no wonder she didn’t look worried.” Luna sighed. “I seriously wish she would communicate with me though.” “S-so wait… if those two are back, doesn’t that mean--” Frisk was cut off seeing the door open. “Huh?” “All these… creatures are different from the monsters in the ruins.” Toriel said to herself passing by a crowd of ponies. All of them just giving her strange looks, similar to how they were for Frisk and Chara. Sure they were human. But Toriel was something else entirely. Suddenly while lost in thought, she felt a bump from below. “Hm?” “Oh gracious I'm terribly sorry.” A white fancy dressed unicorn said apologizing. The unicorn looked up at Toriel… Only to be dumbfounded from seeing someone that wasn't even human this time! “Sweet Celestia… Who and… For that matter what are you?” “Oh, forgive me. My name is Toriel…” She said helping the pony to her hooves. “Well pleasure to meet you… Toriel. My name is Rarity.” “Rarity… What a lovely name. I don't suppose you could help me.” “Hm? Whatever do you need dear?” “Well… I honestly don't know how I came here. I'm mainly looking for answers.” “Well if you keep going to the castle over there, my friend Twilight may be able to answer your questions.” “Thank you so much Rarity.” Toriel smiled heading to the direction of the castle. “I hope you find the answers you’re looking for!” Rarity exclaimed. “S-so wait… if those two are back, doesn’t that mean--” Frisk was cut off seeing the door open. “Huh?” “Heh… You know kid, it ain't as easy getting around in this place as it is back home.” Sans said angrily with a glowing blue eye. Author's Note I know... I know... *sigh* sorry everyone... Everything's just been hectic and busy for me so I'm a little rusty...
