Dreamer Adventures

Fluttershy had been sparring with a tall and red bipedal bunny, a bear off to the side with a chalkboard that had a pretty heavy tally count.

“They were the ones that repressed my hate… actually it was Fluttershy being cheered on by my Celestia, Luna and the other elements.” Chara explained as she watched the fight for a little bit.

The rabbit had pressed forward with several palm thrusts, sweeping kicks, and axe kicks but failed to so much as graze the heavily armored pony.

“It's hatred, what could they have expected? Darkness can bond, hatred can't.” Azure explained as he winced once Fluttershy had dropped the rabbit into a tight hold.

The rabbit shrunk, revealing Angel bunny wearing a large pink ribbon. The bear placed a tally mark on Fluttershy’s side of the board, making the current score fifty/twenty in favor of the pegasus.

“Oh no…” Angel had whispered once he caught sight of Chara. He quickly hid his ribbon from view. “Shy, we have company.”

The pegasus took note and quickly began to dust herself off in a frantic attempt to appear presentable. “Um… h-hello. I’m sorry for not noticing you before,” The pegasus shot up, wide eyed. “Not to say I was ignoring you! I um… oh, uhm… tea?” She had come up to the pair with a bright smile, squeeing as she did so.

“Do you have juice?” Chara asked, hoping for some juice as she didn't like tea.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I have lemonade?” she brought a hoof to her mouth in worry. “Unless you don’t like lemonade, I could go out and buy something, ooh but I don’t want to waste your time…”

“I don't mind having lemonade, I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound rude.” Chara said hurriedly pulling her hands up into a placating Manor.

“Oh no, please. You're my guest, I should be able to treat you with the same respect and dignity as I do everypony else.” she protested. Azure thusly began pushing the mare along, hoping to diffuse the situation before it escalated into an apology off.

“Come on people, things to do people to see…” Angel and Harry the bear shrugged as they followed the trio into the cottage, the latter going off to obtain lemonade, and the former donning his bow and returning to his demonic form.

Azure took a seat upon a rather worn couch, motioning for Chara to do the same. “Welp, no doubt you have questions. This is about the time you ask em, so ask em..” Azure stated simply.

“So Mr. Angel, I see you can transform into a giant butt kicking awesome thing! You have to be the coolest pet I've ever met!” Chara says as she sits down next to Azure as a loud growl emits from her stomach.

“I’ll fetch us some snacks, you two wait here.” Fluttershy said as she left for her kitchen. Angel grumbled slightly, taking the time to look back to Chara.

“I’m not a pet, I just look like one.” He grumbled.

“Sorry I didn't mean to upset you… but still you're really cool!” Chara said resisting the urge to get up and snuggles the bunny.

He softened up, a smile forming on his face. “Thanks, it feels good to have the rest of my height back.” Just as he said this, Fluttershy had returned with a platter of sliced fish, cheese, and leafy greens along with the lemonade that Harry had just brought in as well.

“Thank you Shy, any word from our friends in the Everfree?” Azure asked as he took a piece of salmon.

“Oh, yes there was a messenger who just left. Asriel is currently being trained to properly use his magic… though I don’t really know much about it.” Fluttershy said calmly.

“Wait! What!?” Chara says loudly, shocked that someone else was teaching Asriel how to use undertale Magic.

Visibly shaken, Fluttershy began to hide behind her armored hooves. “L-like I said, I don’t really get it… I’m sorry if I upset you...” Angel begun running his claw through her mane, calming her down from her fright.

“Veronica did say something about that… she seemed to know you, or at least of you.” Azure muttered, a hand on his chin in contemplation. Chara’s brain was trying to reboot after the revelation that some of the stories she had written were real.

“Something wrong?” Azure asked. “You look like a whitewashed fence.” He thusly began waving a bit of fish in Chara’s face.

“Sorry I'm still trying to get used to the idea that things that I have read and written are real…” Chara said regaining her bearings.

“Pfft, tell me about it. I keep expecting some giant in genji armor to fall out of the sky and tell me what an asshole I am for having killed people.” Azure says as he dropped another piece of fish with cheese in his mouth. “So, whenever you’re ready, I can take you to our mutual friend.”

“Can you please…” Chara said quietly.

Nodding, Fluttershy began to lead the two through the back door, a luminous path leading directly into the Everfree Forest. “Once you’re in, a wolf will find you and lead you further in.” Fluttershy explained calmly. “Don’t worry, they’re all very nice.”

With that, the two were left to the path.

-Everfree-

Despite how deep into the forest the reluctant duo had traversed, the floating phosphorous lights only seemed to shine brighter, giving them light within the darkness.

“This forest sure has changed…” Azure mused.

“It certainly looks different than from the forest I know…” Chara said admitting to herself that it looked more out of Dragon Fable then out of My Little Pony.

“A lot of this world changed… I’m afraid it might have something to do with me just being here.” Before either could muse further, several bushes began shaking. Glowing yellow orbs peeking out from just behind them. “They must be our contact, let’s follow them.”

The glow became brighter as a rather robust and well polished timber wolf exited the shrubbery and stood at attention. Azure focused on a pendant hanging around his neck as he took the form of a grey husky/wolf hybrid, a black dragon tattoo stamped on his forehead.

He began motioning for Chara to get on his back, hoping to cut time by running through the forest. Chara climbed onto his back using all of her willpower not to snuggle into his warm soft fur.

Without a moment’s notice, the wolves sped off deeper into the forest. Through twisted trees, glowing vines, and several shrubberies the two did race. Slowing down only after hearing the sounds of explosions and several grunts.

“Finally got that buster working for you! Who was the idiot that told you it was a good idea copying the Gaster Blaster?” A harsh female voice echoed from a vast arena formed by the forest.

“Well, Luna actually… she said it was a good idea!” Asriel replied.

“Hush, they’ve arrived.” A voice that almost sounded like Azure’s chimed in,

Azure made his way before his lover, his clone, and his new friend. Whimpering and barking at the trio. Chara was clinging to him with a death grip her face buried in his fur.

A hand found itself on the collar of Chara’s pink sleeveless shirt, leveling her face to an angry face of Veronica. “Great, she’s even starting to dress annoyingly…” The vampire muttered, incredibly jarred by her current choice of apparel.

With a casual toss, Chara fell atop Asriel as Veronica moved to lift and heft Azure over her shoulder. “My property.”

“But he's so fluffy!” Chara yelled out wanting to snuggle the husky wolf hybrid as she tried to latch on to him.

As if to taunt her, Veronica buried her face in Azure’s fur, eliciting several fidgets and pants from the dog. “My property…” She mumbled through the fur.

Chara grabbed ahold of asriel and started cuddling him burying herself in his soft warm fur causing asriel to let out of bleat in surprise. “Mine…” Chara Whispers as she continues to rub her face into his fur.

“Come on… I missed you too, but this is kinda embarrassing.” Asriel groaned.

“I thought I was alone again…” Chara whispered not letting him go. The goat child groaned as he began ruffling Chara’s head.

“Not my fault you dragged me into a tear through space-time, shortstack.” Asriel muttered.

“You're so fluffy…” Chara says happily as she continues to snuggle with her Crush.

“Hey, now that the big guy’s here, ready to start your real training?” Veronica asked Asriel, slowly lowering “her property” back on to the ground.

“What training!?!? I need training too!” Chara says loudly not letting go of Azriel for a second.

Azure had finally reverted and shook his head, much like a dog would. “I only agreed to train Asriel. If you want a session, ya gotta sign a contract.” He stated as he revealed a contract in his hand.

“Let me see the see the contract.” Chara snatch the contract from him going over it with a fine-tooth comb, what people may not realize about Chara what is that she was good with word play, hell she should have been a lawyer in her last life considering how many times she had exploited and uncovered different loopholes Within sayings she read.

To those who sign upon this binding agreement, for services rendered for (Spiritual/Mental Training)

The agreed payment of (Essence/Data) will be given in exchange

Below this was a signature of Azure’s full name, and a space left for another name.

“Something wrong?” Azure asked.

“let's go over what the payment is first before I sign anything…”Chara says as this thing left a huge and quite many loopholes. “Also if I were you I would add a time limit to this.”

“I don't control the limit, Harmony or the contractor does. As for the payment, I either read his mind, his soul, or take a piece of him.” Azure explained as he took the contract back and gave it to Asriel. “You wanna make a contract? That's fine, but I wouldn't mettle in the affairs of others.”

“Then let me talk to the people, cuz I'm not giving up a part of my soul even if I do have unlimited DETERMINATION.” Chara says been mentally against anyone poking around with her soul as it was her main source of power.

“Whateva… Asriel, ready when you are.” Asure says as he sits down in a lotus position, waiting to see if Asriel would sign.

“I've already been poked and prodded once, let's get this over with.” The goat says reluctantly.

“I don't want to be in some binding contract that I don't want or cannot fulfill.” chara says refusing to be bound to anyone.

“Then don't sign.” Azure stated, not once looking up.

“Why can't we just negotiate what I give you now and what you give me in return?”Chara asked as this was a shady deal she ever saw one.

Sighing, he looked at Asriel apologetically. “Give us a minute?” He asked.

“Yeah, she can be a handful… good luck.” Asriel said as he went back to physical training with Veronica and Answer.

“Aight, shoot.” Azure says as he tosses an empty contract to Chara.

“Okay… I think the first thing we would do together is that we can call in each other's help unless the other one is busy with something like fighting a war or in the middle of adult activities.” Chara says giving him a look that asked if that was alright.

“Each event is a new contract with it's own payment equal to the severity, though I may be able to set a string or master contracts just for major events like say a world ending calamity or invading force.” Azure explained, waving his hands about to accentuate a point.

“It also doesn't matter if I'm in the bath or in bed. You want to call in a contract or a debt, I have no choice but to accept.”

“Do you have anything that can duplicate undertale powers?” Chara asked as she didn't really know what else to do.

“I need data for that, but chances are I can copy your brand of rules and mechanics.” Azure explains. “Why? Someone you feel like empowering?” He asked quizzically.

Explosions and yells began to echo through the clearing, rainbow lights splitting the serenity.

“They look like they're having fun.” Azure pointed out.

“Yeah they do, but I'm not good at writing contracts... I'm good at breaking them but not writing them…” Chara says as she wrecked her brain on what the contractor should say.

“Then don't write one, just open it up and see if it says anything.” Azure stated solemnly, though seeming a bit off his rocker. It's not like these contracts were magical…

Another explosion echoed, Veronica cheering Asriel on as he struggled against blackened elemental tendrils.

“Are these contracts even magical?” Chara asked as she thought of that and was going to be really angry at herself if it wasn't.

Azure simply raised his left hand, a sigil of Harmony began to shine and hum on the back of his hand, a similar sigil appearing on a contract.

“God dammit…” Chara whispered angrily

“In the words of the great Egoraptor, “God can't help you now.” He replied with a smile.

Chara looked at him wholly unamused as she crushed the contract in her hands before slicing it to pieces with DETERMINATION.

A third explosion boomed outward, a screaming and flying Asriel rocketing directly at the pair. Without nary a glance, Azure caught the flying goat by the scruff if his turtleneck.

“Feel like trying to get some revenge, or are you ready for our session?” The unflinching dracopyre asked Asriel.

“Dunno, you two done yet?” Asriel asked, content with hanging about.

Chara grumbled and crossed her arms looking like a child not getting their way.

“Yeah just about, might of been something I said,” Azure placed his new charge beside himself and offered a quill. “Just sign your name and we can begin.”

Asriel took the quill with a nod and opened his contract, softly placing the quill tip upon the parchment.

“But I want training too!” Chara whined out like an impudent child.

Flinching, Asriel removed the tip before he could so much as blink. “Uh… so ask for it?” He said more so as a question.

“She doesn't want to sign something she has no control over.” Azure replied simply.

“So go to Veronica and Answer, they'll put you through the ringer.” Asriel added, motioning to the vampire and elemental clone.

“He looks like a sadist…” Chara said flinching at the intense gaze that the elemental clone was giving.

“Veronica's the sadist, Answer is actually pretty chill.” Asriel replied. “Don't know what Veronica's story is, she seems kinda…”

“Angry?” Azure added. “She's… not exactly human. She was a mystical construct summoned by a tiny lolita vampire princess. If you've seen anything Touhou related, the wooden wings are a dead give away.”

“that sounds like two bloody hearts…” Chara whispered as she started thinking about the friend she left behind again.

Both the goat and dracopyre looked at Chara like she grew a second head. “Two bloodied… what?” Azure asked.

“I don't know what either of the things you both said are.” Asriel added.

“it was a story that me and a friend were writing about Flandre Scarlet and Chara Dreemurr…” Chara whispered tear starting to prick at the sides of her eyes.

“That… would explain Veronica at the very least knowing of you…” Azure muttered as he gently placed a finger under one of Chara's eyes. “Chances are you'll meet them in the future… or at the very least their creation. Have hope.” Asure said with a smile.

“Can't I include her in our training?” Asriel asked rather hurriedly. “Or at least shoulder her cost?” Asriel was suddenly tackled by a flying Chara giving him a hug.

“Thank you thank you thank you thank you!” Chara repeated as she hugged her Crush/friend.

“I take it back! Strictly one on one!” The struggling child yelps, only gaining a round of giggles and chuckles and a scroll thrown at his face.

“You can shoulder her cost, but she still has to sign.” Azure explained, his smile unwavering.

“I'll sign since he's taking the cost for me!” Chara whispered with a happy content smile.

“The things I do…” Asriel muttered as he opened the second scroll, signing both and giving the second to Chara which Chara looked over thoroughly.

To those whom have signed, only one must pay

A master you shall be to a student not yet seen

Below the simple text were three spaces meant for signature, one already in use. Chara signs with her chicken scratch handwriting.

“Eesh, someone never practiced their cursive.” Asriel commented as he returned both contracts to Azure, the dracopyre signing his name upon the second.

“Who’s up first?” He asked.

“Well my powers are mostly energy construct based as I don't really have any hand to hand combat training.” Chara says

“Physical trainers,” Azure points back to Veronica and Answer, the latter sitting upon a stump and drinking tea, the former punching a wooden golem into mulch. “Over there. Everything else,” He thusly points to himself. “This guy.”

“Maybe I should go first,” Asriel said. “I'm kinda dying remember?”

“Azzy I won't let you die!” Chara says as she once again grabs ahold of asriel. “ besides I'm kind of fucked up as well ever since the black soul trait was repressed…” Chara finishes.

“I'm gonna have to flip a coin aren't I?” Azure asked as he began searching for a coin in a pouch he pulled from thin air. Smiling, he pulled out a wide gold coin marked with a dragon head in one side, and an X on the other.

“Heads, he goes first. Tails, you go last.” Azure said jokingly as he pointed to Asriel and then Chara. Chara stared at him angrily her cheeks puffed out.

“That was in poor taste, I call tails, Chara can take heads.” Asriel replied.

“I hope that wasn't some kind of an innuendo…” Azure added as he flipped the coin… straight into the sky. “Give it a second…”

Seconds passed before the coin landed straight into the dirt, the dragon head barely visible from it's crater. Chara was staring wide-eyed at Azure wondering how powerful he was and knowing the only thing that would keep her safe in a fight against him was her ability to save and load.

“Alright, since your powers are nerfed, I'm gonna see if there's anything in my arsenal that can help you…” Azure mumbled as he began to move his right hand in front of Chara's face, his Index, middle finger, and thumb aiming for her forehead.

“You'll be entering my mind, not your own, so ease up and and try not to hold your breath.”

Azure's fingers made contact, and the world was gone.
