Took way too long but it’s here, enjoy!

Chapter below the cut for my readers who don’t prefer Ao3

Henry walked back onto the campgrounds, books in hand with Frisk following close behind. It was close to becoming 1 o’clock to their surprise.

“Guess we spent longer in the library than we thought, guess we gotta apologise to Toriel about being almost a half hour late home” Henry spoke, knowing he was in trouble for keeping Frisk away for so long.

“Mom most likely won’t mind if she knows that you were keeping me safe Mr. Henry” Frisk replied smiling. Henry nodded and the two entered the camp that was their temporary home.

“Hey kid, I’m gonna pop your books in your tent ok? Why don’t you got snatch us some lunch?” Henry asked. Frisk nodded and hurried over to the camps center to see if Toriel had any leftover pie for them. After Henry left Frisk’s books in their tent he made his way over to the medical tent, only to see Right Hand Man inside, sitting on a chair next to the table where a large container was, holding the fragments of their chief’s soul.

“Hey ‘enry” The man said, in a surprisingly soft tone. Heny set the book down on the table and pulled out a chair, sitting on it a tad awkwardly with it’s back in front of him.

“What’s up boss? Is the chief’s death really hitting that hard?” Henry questioned.

“He’s not-! No, he’s not dead.” The Right Hand Man argued. Henry frowned, knowing something was off.

“Well if he’s not dead, then how come his prized medallion is draped over the tank with his broken soul?” The white-haired man asked, tilting his head to the side.

“You shut your damned mouth or ah swear…” Right spoke with his thick australian accent adding an extra layer of intimidation.

“Okaaay, you’re going through some stuff, I’ll let you be.” Henry quickly responded. He sat up and walked out of the tent quickly to avoid getting Right Hand Man in more of a huff, just to bump into a familiar short yellow lizard. “Oh hey Doc, sorry ‘bout that.”

“I-it’s fine, have you seen the Right Hand Man? I meant to talk to him about your boss's soul.” She asked.

“Mister five stages of grief is in there.” Henry answered, pointing a thumb back to the tent he was just in. “Actually, have you seen Ellie? Meant to ask her something.”

The scientist twiddled her thumbs a bit before answering. “No, but she did leave a note saying she would be back by dinner, I have no idea where she is though”

“Damnit Ellie, be more specific next time.” Henry muttered.

~~~

Ellie wasn’t too fond of her soul trait. PERSEVERANCE had the lamest magic in her opinion, DETERMINATION could bend time, BRAVERY could teleport, JUSTICE could make people tell the truth, KINDNESS could heal and make shields, PATIENCE could freeze in place to avoid damage, INTEGRITY could change gravity, but PERSEVERANCE...it could only make plans based on a few minutes of worth of events. It sounds ok at first but in practice it’s not that great. Luckily, this came in handy for plotting a surprise sneak attack against your local government camp after they killed your boss.

The red-head was positioned behind a bush up on a short cliff only a bit away from said government camp. She pulled out her walkie talkie and leaned in.

“Hey Svensson, you got the coordinates for the government rats?” She asked, in response she got a groan.

“Yes I did, and I am still your superior, so it’s Mr. Svensson to you.” He complained on his end.

“Well Mr. Pain in the ass, ready to beam down the rocket launcher?”

“For the third time, you aren’t getting a rocket launcher. I’m sending down Burt, Carol and a few others.”

“Man, do you not trust me with explosives?”

“Not after the ‘Me and Henry are going to rob a chuck e cheese’ incident.”

“It was fun and it was one time!” She all but shouted into the device. She turned it off and looked back at the camp. So maybe exploding it isn’t a great idea. Ellie glanced over at one of the tents that was larger than the rest, and had a large red medical cross. Bingo.

~~~

“Hey Chara, can I ask you something? Do you know what happened to Asr-” Frisk started.

“No, we don’t mention him.” Chara said, cutting them off. Frisk set down their fork on the plate.

“Okaaay, then what about Flowey?” Frisk reiterated.

“Didn’t he want to stay behind? I mean, he thought he wouldn’t survive out here without a soul.”

“Well what if he was wrong Chara?”

“Don’t tell me you actually cared about that little bugger! He tried to kill you, Frisk!”

The child sighed and stared up at their ghost companion.

“He can change, he’s done it before, and he can do it again.”

~~~

The flower in question sat among his non-sentient copies in the beginning of the underground. Or was it the end? He didn’t know, and didn’t care. Flowey sighed, and stared up at the entrance to the underground. No one ever visited him, after all, he tried to kill everyone and steal their souls to become a god. That was only the second time. How would anyone forgive him? No one would. Why would anyone care about him though? He only hurts, it’s all he’s good for.

No. He won’t hurt again. The golden flower promised himself this, He pondered to himself about how to get out easily. Through personal research he deemed he could only travel for five minutes under the earth before needing to pop back out for at least another minute, as well as, it was difficult staying on the side of a wall without some proper hold. Thinking, Flowey noticed a vine that had fallen some time after the barrier broke. That’ll do.

Flowey popped down under the ground then resurfaced under the vine. He wrapped one of his own vines on it and slid up it like a snake, reaching the top in under a few minutes. He looked out at the mid afternoon sun, basking in the potential photosynthesis he would gain if he just gave up and stayed a flower forever. But no, he had to keep going.

After scanning the area a bit he noticed a camp in the distance that took up a hidden clearing. So that's where they went. He thought to himself. But hey, the worst case scenario is that it was a human camp, but he could blend in as some of the natural buttercups that grew around the mountain. It would take a while until he got there, but he knew it would be the start of his redemption.

~~~

“Ok would you rather fight an elephant sized axolotl or a hundred axolotl sized elephants? Honestly, either would do for me.” Chara asked, smiling.

“Am I allowed to spare either? If not then an elephant sized axolotl, it would give up to get to water.” Frisk answered. Henry laughed and leaned back.

“Nah, a hundred axolotl sized elephants, that way they won’t crush you on the way to the water.” He spoke. “Plus, I ain’t a pacifist, I won’t have a burden on my shoulder.”

“But those are innocent elephants!” Frisked shouted.

“What if they had caused the deaths of thousands? Then would you reconsider?”

“You’re cruel sometimes Chara.” Henry chuckled. Frisk smiled and knew, maybe more humans were like the toppats, they didn’t seem that bad.

“Gasp, I, the dead child sharing a soul with another child, is cruel.”

“Ok, ok, you two, reel it in, we’re meant to have a nice picnic, minus the food.” Frisk laughed. It was nice after most of their life living by themself as an orphan, to finally have a family. Sure, they didn’t have an exact father figure, but they had a mom in Toriel, a sibling in Chara, and now an older brother in Henry. It was everything they could ever dream of.

“Sorry Frisk.” Chara apologized sarcastically.

“Sorry kid, plus Chara isn’t as cruel as another demon I know.” Henry apologized, gazing at the air next to him like he was gesturing towards someone. But no, player was off minding their own weird business off somewhere that Henry didn’t care. They couldn’t do anything with Henry being there as a physical form. With this, they were most likely trying to chase a squirrel up a tree to find it’s home to (attempt to) destroy it.

“Speaking of whom, you said you’re in a similar boat to us, yeah? Well, haven’t seen your little soul buddy, where are they?” The red ghost asked, folding their arms. “Seriously, the fact you can see me means you aren’t lying, are you just in stage one?”

“No, they just don’t like people, and people don’t like them. They also much prefer tormenting squirrels than answering questions about elephants and axolotls.” Henry addressed. Chara scrunched their face while Henry just smiled.

That’s when the two humans felt something off, Frisk in specific heard dirt churning. Chara looked at them oddly as they weren’t sitting to feel the disturbance. That’s when a golden buttercup popped out of the ground.

“Well, that’s not normal, or I’ve been on the orbital station for too long.” The adult said, questioning himself. That’s when the flower turned its head, showing its face.

“That damned flower got out!”

“Nice to see you too Chara.” The flower spoke. “Anyways, Howdy! I’m Flowey, Flowey the Flower!”

“I can tell.” Henry sarcastically responded.

“Oh goodie goodie, the smiley trashbag comedian has a human twin.” Flowey spoke with a caustic remark, while Chara proceeded to lose their mind laughing at the realization of the similarities. “Anywho, I actually came here to say something.”

“What is it Flowey?” Frisk asked.

“Well…..” He paused. Why couldn’t he do it? He recited what he wanted to say on the way over, he knew he wanted to apologise, but the words wouldn’t form. He couldn’t say sorry, he couldn’t tell them the promise he made to himself...

He just was incapable of feeling true remorse.

“Of course, typical unfeeling flower. Will want everyone’s attention, then goes silent. Typical.”

“Chara! That was rude!” Frisk scolded. Flowey sighed, and popped back into the ground. Maybe it wasn’t time to repair that burnt bridge.

When Flowey popped back up, he moved himself next to a large tent near the edge of the clearing (as indicated by the large trees next to the tent). Chara was right, I have no soul, I can’t feel… Thoughts like that raced through his mind, he wanted to be better, but without a soul it was useless.

He stared around for something to do when he saw a tall man, leaning against a tree with a cigarette in his hand.

“Hey, Smokey! Y’know you’re gonna get yourself killed with that!” Flowey snarked loudly at the man. Right Hand Man looked down at the flower with a cold gaze.

“Wow Einstein, you’ve cracked the code and can leave the simulation now, hurray.” He laughed. Flowey was not amused. Instead he slid up the tree Right was leaning on and sat on one of the low branches. “And hey, ‘anks for the concern, but ah don’t get cigarettes that have tar in ‘em. So I’m lung cancer safe.”

“Huh, didn’t know those existed, anyways, I’m Flowey!” The buttercup had returned to his normal jovial mood.

“Nice to meet ya Flowey, I’m Right Hand Man.”

“What kind of name is that?”

“What kind of name is Flowey?”

“Touché” The two chuckled a bit, then Flowey asked the question that he completely forgot about in favor of introductions. “Say, why are you smoking in the first place?”

“Everytime I light a new one, ah ask myself the same thing. Then I remember my best friend is dead, there’s no HOPE left for anyone, and no amount of what if’s are gonna bring him back!” RIght started before going off into a tangent and yelling to himself.

“Hey big guy, calm down, there’s got to be some way to bring him back, yeah? Do you have his soul?”

~~~

Honestly, Flowey didn’t expect a yes, and he especially didn’t expect it to be stuck in such disrepair.

“Holy mother of asgore! What’d you do to him?!” He exclaimed.

“Only managed to get ‘im in by the time he was like this.” Right answered truthfully. He put a hand on the tank, rubbing it thoughtfully while the flower starred from his new-found perch on the Right Hand Man’s shoulder.

“Man, rough timing, eh? Anyways, do you perchance have a pot I could dip into? Soil is much more comfortable.” Flowey requested. Right sighed and kneeled down and grabbed a clay pot from under the table that had been left, he went outside and scooped a bit of dirt in before planting Flowey in it. He went back inside and set the pot next to Reginald’s soul tank before sitting onto the chair still left out from the events of earlier today.

“So, did you know that most likely if his being still exists somewhere, like the void, he would be in complete agony? I mean, I myself wouldn’t know as I have no soul, plus I’m a monster, but probably a broken soul would mean a world of pain?” The plant addressed, looking up at the top of the tent before facing the Aussie with the last point.

“Reg is strong, he can take it, he’s been through worse.” Right replied sternly.

“I’m just saying, if you really cared, you would be working your butt off trying to get him out of this state.”

“Shut it flower boy, Ah don’t need to hear how much of a failure I am.”

“I didn’t mean it like that!” Flowey retorted, managing to bounce his pot closer to the tank. Two vines shot out of the pot, waving about frantically, acting like arms to demonstrate his frustration. Damn his subconscious want of misery in others, he would definitely need to work on that later. “I’m not saying you failed! I’m just saying you’re lounging around crying about your problems instead of fixing them! There’s plenty of things you could do!”

“Well do YOU have any smart ideas? Or are ya just goin’ to be a thorn in mah side?!” The toppat argued back. Flowey stewed for a moment before spotting a leather book on the other end of the table, noticing a keyword, soul. He reached for it with a vine.

“Correction, buttercups don’t have thorns. Plus, this book here may do the trick!” He pulled the book to him with immense speed. Too immense in fact that it hit the glass of the soul preserving tank. It wobbled for a moment before tilting off the table.

Smash!

<--- Prev Next --->

template doesn't look comfortable. Chara grins back and the group goes to skull lagoon.

Core

The skull lagoon was a remote place, the beach had some driftwood and the water was something murky.

“Are you content?” Ink asked Template

he wonders if he should say or if ink would get mad. "i just don't want you to get hurt again."

tonic loved the look of this area and ran over to some drift wood pushing it over and finding some crabs. they play with them.

Core

“I won’t, I know to avoid the smaller one.” Ink said. Shatter was looking around, and Neon kept her distance from the water. Tonic could spot spines breach the water

tonic head shoots up as they watch the water intently going a bit closer. "so like. where are we supposed to go" chara says with her hands up. he's not convinced.

Core

“Not sure exactly...” Neon admitted. Something jumped out of the water and grabbed Tonic’s leg, snapping the bone in their jaws. Chara could recognize them as Corrupted Killer. Ink heard the water splashing. “Besides, we have a guard dog.”

tonic goes about knee depth and sticks their head under to see if they can see the creature it's dark but tonic is bio-luminescent. and is instantly grabbed by the leg like you said (i was already typing that haha) chara looks over just in time to see the corrupted killer. the water around where it bit through tonic's leg is stained black from nightmare's shell and a glass like substance floats to the top of all of that. template peeks around the vines and sees the fight happening.

Core

Nightmare’s shell acted like a shield, keeping any venom out. The Corrupted Star (pathogen) was trying to drag Tonic under water. Shatter immediately ran over, attacking Pathogen’s tail

tonic 's right leg was snapped off and shattered so they were no longer in pathogen's grip. they swim to the surface trying to process everything. chara joined shatter in the fight. jumping onto pathogen's back in front of shatter having a knife stuck into her helping her hold on.

Core

Shatter tore up Pathogen’s tail, not showing any mercy. Pathogen’s back had venomous spines on it

chara snapped off a few of the spines as they reminded her of lionfish spines she manages to put them in her pocket through all the thrashing.

Core

Shatter then went for the throat, making the water turn red with blood

chara assuming it was done swam up waiting for shatter.

Core

Shatter soon came up as well, licking the blood of her lips. “You ok Tonic?” She asked

tonic wasn't bleeding or anything as each segment of their body is mostly separately contained. but tonic was clearly unhappy. not even responding to shatter.

one of the crabs they were playing with crawled up onto their arm

Core

“Come on, at least talk to me.” Shatter said.

( redesign of the template )

(he also has blades that come out of his back that work more like a shield than anything else)

tonic stares at the spot where all the blood of the corrupted star was left and looks up at shatter not knowing what to say

Core

“Look, they were going to hurt you, I had to do something.” Shatter explained

tonic scoots over a tad so they're by shatter and they cling to her leg as they shake, maybe they're scared or sad but they can't really tell which it is.

Core

Shatter hugged him, whispering kind things.

chara taps her foot in the sand. "pick your child up or something we need to find ink. now." she looks to killer and then starts climbing the ledge that leads to the mainland.

Neon found the groove, before the others.

template got out of the area to greet neon. "came back for more i see?" she says annoyed .

Core

“I’m not a fighter.” Neon said.

(What if, since Neon is basically an Ink with a soul, Template starts to like her?)

(all i can say to that is 'oh no' >:3 ) "hm." he looks down to where the others are trying to find them. "than take your friends and get out. i know you have no business being here."

as she doesn't respond template steps closer. "are you deaf? leave."

Core

(Ok?) “Well, I honestly think the score is settled, but Chara doesn’t.” Neon sighed

(template wouldn't be okay with that. he'd deny that he likes neon to the moon and back before leaving ink. that's how he is.) he shakes his head in disapproval and goes down to where chara is. chara stops in her tracks "ugh. you again." template responds with "you're the one pursuing ink. what else did you expect." "well gee, you were never around sense i've known her." he shrugs and goes invisible. chara takes a step back trying to find where he is and makes a green bubble to protect herself. a hit from the right slides the bubble and almost cracks it

Core

(Ok makes sense) Shatter and Killer both got between Template and Chara.”

Template turns chara's soul indigo and those her against the ledge breaking her shield.

Core

Killer attacked Template, as did shatter, who turned into a xenobeast

He teleported out of the way and into a tree shooting down at the two of them

Core

Shatter climbed up the tree, her six hooked feet made to climb.

Chara joins shatter and as template was detracted by keeping shatter away, chara jumped high into the tree and smashed him down into the branch he was sitting on.

Core

Shatter smacked Template with her tail.

He teleported away but because chara was on his back she was brought along as well. He manages to throw her off and down to where killer is, she landed well and was ready for more. He's back up to where neon is

Core

Neon didn’t attack, not a fighter. Killer shot towards Template, extremely pissed

Template couldn't teleport away again cause he can only do it so many times in a row The blades on his back come out as he just straight up punches killer

Core

Killer slashed at him, only for ink to grab the blade.

Template took a step back and turned killers soul blue and started pushing her down while waiting for a good shot at shatter

Core

Shatter stayed low to the ground, her spines raised as she hissed

Template teleported right by shatter and the static hurt her ears. He summon a big pen and stabbed it into her shoulder

Core

The xenobeast didn’t have ears, but the pen did do damage. She hit him with her tail, smacking him away

The pen got pulled out and the end of it started to glow blue with errors. He quickly made a few 4 legged figures and they came to life attacking shatter

Core

Shatter bit them in half with her mandibles. Killer was fighting Ink

"Your group is really a pain." He sneered to shatter. Chara helped get the last few figures off shatter. And through a knife at template which scratched his cheak

Core

Shatter split into three, Sectin stayed as the Xenobeast, Dusk turned into an indoraptor and Eunice to a freybug

He turned invisible and didn't seem to be in the area anymore. He appears behind neon and shoves her to the ground stepping on her back to keep her down. "Tell your friends to quit it or youre the first to go."

Core

“I’m not in charge of them.” Neon replied.

He takes his pen and stabs it into her neck. It's basically as thick as her neck so could easily decapitate.

Core

“I don’t want to fight you.” Neon hissed, grabbing the pen

"Frankly neither do I, but here we are." He pushes down harder

Core

Neon spun the two around, Eunice approached, growling

( Wait what does that first part mean?)

Core

Neon is now on top))

( idk how she did that but I'll roll with it) he desummond the pen and kicked her trying to get away as eunice got closer he got ready to teleport.

Core

(Made her own back spike up enough to do so) Eunice opened her mouth, showing hellfire. Neon jumped away

With neon off he bearly made his portal in time and was spit out where ink is. His skin was seared and his scarf of fire as he quickly put it out.

Core

Sectin hit Ink, hopefully into the water, but Ink flew up into the air.

Template instantly told himself nows not the time but he was struck by the grace of inks movements. Template made a bat like thing that went to pluck at sectin's eyes

Core

Sectin hissed trying to swat at the bat.

He made a large bird and got on its back to join ink. "I know it's none of your concern. But I loath getting my hands dirty with others blood. Can't we do something about this?"

Chara joined sectin and than jumped high in the sky grabbing onto ink

Core

“Flee.” Ink replied. Dusk boosted Chara up with her head, allowing her to grab Ink’s wing.

Chara held on tight as the wing failed. Template frantically looked for an opening not wanting to hurt ink

Core

Inkused the other wing to move them away from the water as they fell.

When they hit the ground chara took the bag she mage full of sea water and dumped it on her

Core

Ink screeched and hit Chara away

Ink got a good hit on chara as her head spun. Template landed right after and made a screech sound throwing his pen at chara as it went right through her arm and pinned her there she made a painted cry but couldn't get the pen out of hervarm.

Core

Eunice jumped on Template, biting into his shoulder. Dusk went to help Chara

Template blinked in and out of view unable to do almost anything now his magic is basically used up. Chara kicked the air trying to remove the pen with dusk.

Core

Dusk broke the pen with her sharp teeth. Killer went after Ink

Chara got up, the broken pen still in her arm but not in the ground. Tonic made it to the fight slowly, partly cause without a leg they couldn't move fast and partly because of how bad they felt. Template noticed killer and dug his fingers into eunice.

Template got away from her after enough squerming and blocked killer

Core

Sectin picked up Tonic and took him away from the fight. Killer hissed at this, “oh you are so dead.” She slashes at his throat

His defense being as high as it is, it wasn't that deep but it bled plenty. "God! Can't you just leave her alone?! Don't you think you've got your revenge? !"

Core

“Not on you I haven’t!” Killer replied sharply, slashing again

he growled and shot forward grabing her neck trying to choke her.

Core

Killer spun them, pinning him to the ground

"stop! just stop! i'm sick of this!" he thrashes to get away but killer is frankly stronger than him.

Core

“I’m sick of liars!” She hissed

"she doesn't lie!"

Core

“You did!” Killer roared, slashing again

"what? leaving your little friend alone? what do you expect me to do!"

"she wants to kill my only friend!"

Core

“Not my problem! You made a deal!!” Killer hissed

"a deal to be left alone"

Core

“A deal to not harm!” Killer hissed, slashing again

the blades on his back go up and he pushes killer off him. "i'm sorry, i am, but sometimes you have to break morals to keep you family and friends safe " get barely has enough magic to turn her blue and keep her against the ground.

he calls up to neon "hey! i swear if you lead them to her again you're dead!" he goes over to ink and draws some carbon for her

Core

Ink grabbed Template and teleported.

chara went up to killer who was released from the gravity. "well that went well."

Core

Killer growled. “F*cking liars....”

"i know right." she pushes the pen out of her arm and has enough magic to make a save star and she heals.

Core

Sectin turned back, her shoulder was hurt and her eyes were scratched. “Why was I the one to get hurt?” “Maybe because you have the more deadly forms?” Eunice said, turning back as well

"she's got a point."

Core

“I can’t control that form.” Sectin whined. Dusk turned back, going over to Eunice and leaning on her. “It’s too cold here.”

chara yawns and stretches laying on the ground. "yeah it is kinda cold." she makes a small fire that floated above the ground.

Core

Dusk went over and laid down by it. “That’s better.”

tonic laid by dusk. "okay so" chara rubs her eyes. "that little guard dog of hers is making life difficult."

Core

“I can make you a new leg.” Neon offered

tonic looked over to her. "yeah?" tonic wasn't so sure about that.

Core

“Yeah.” Neon said.

"you can try if you like."

Core

Neon made the bone part of the leg, before attaching it

the end of tonic's leg intigrated the new bone to the system but it didn't conect the liquid.

Core

“Can you stand?” Neon asked

tonic seemed to find it fine "yeah, it seems good. thank you."

Core

“That’s great.”

Killer mumbled something under her breath

chara looked over "what's that killz?"

Core

“How long are we gonna do this goose hunt?” Killer said with a hiss.

she shrugs. "i may have given up by this point. it's kinda really annoying with this new star."

Core

“Well I haven’t seen him before, so he must be new... hence why he trusts the squid.” Killer hissed

"they said they knew eachother 7 months ago though."

"so not all that new i'd say"

Core

“Ink works on a different scale of time...” (So she works on our time, so like legitimately one day)

"i don't get it but whatever you say neon. he clearly likes her so that's just worse for us if we ever want to take her down. maybe just protecting ourselves by staying out of her way would be the best option for now." she shrugs "just a thought"

Core

“Agreed.” Eunice said. “I need to heal anyway.” Sectin remarked.

"it's settled than. you good with that killer?"

Core

“Pitch perfect.”

"never heard that expression before. But alright. I'm beat, night" she curls up away from the group.

Core

Dusk went and laid by her, her tail wrapping around Chara.

Template and ink land in a volcanic area making it easy for ink to find what she needs. Templates enerance is trash so as ink was looking around he fell asleep. Tonic tapped her new leg finding it wired she can't feel it.

Tonic has grown emotionally quite a lot. They're more like an actual person now and they don't like it. They feel like they're not supposed to be that way

Core

Ink ate bits of coal and ash, sources of carbon. Dusk cuddled up with Chara, needing warmth. Sectin called for Tonic, unable to see very well

Tonic went over to her. " need something?"

Core

“Well, I can’t sleep with Eunice because she’ll burn me, so I was wondering if we could bunk together?”

Tonic takes a second before agreeing "sure." Tonic isn't tired infact they want to go colect peices of their leg but they lay down anyway.

Core

Sectin snuggled with him, purring softly, she was like him in a lot of ways

tonic nuzzles under her neck the whole group rests until sunrise

Core

Sectin has healed overnight. Dusk was up first, basking in the sun

Tonic ended up by the water collecting pieces of the leg. Chara stretches and goes sovereign to killer shaking her shoulder.

Core

Killer swatted her away.

Chara pouts and rests her head on killers shoulder. "Killer wake up I'm bored"

Core

“Not my problem.” She mumbled. “Go explore.”

She groans "noooo." And rubs her face into her shoulder

Core

“Buzz off.” Killer yawned.

Chara doesn't leave and desides to lay there till killer gets up. Tonic found a few pieces, it was nice that they float but they couldn't find at least half

Core

Dusk saw Tonic. “Need help?” She asked

Tonic was startled "oh uhh... yeah that'd be nice."

Template wakes up finally not seeing ink around.

Core

Dusk stretched and turned into an aquatic dragon, looking on the lagoon floor Ink had found a small ravine

Tonic keeps looking and finds a strange little gem that some of tonics leg was wrapped around. After picking it up her little watch glowed brighter on the draco, when tonic put the gem on it it stopped glowing and clicked into place.

They wonder if that antlion had a similar gem, though they weren't there when it died.

Core

Dusk came back onto shore, dropping a few pieces.

"Thank you." Tonic picks them up. "Um I know you weren't around when me and eunice fought that scorpion but could you ask her if it dropped anything?"

Core

“Sure.” Dusk replied getting a handful of water, and walking to Eunice

( I ment tonic put the pieces dusk gave them with the others.)

Tonic followed

Template found the ravine and slid down to ink. "What you doing"

Core

Dusk then dropped the water on Eunice’s head, waking her up. “Higher pressure means more carbon.” She dug at a wall, finding a small diamond. “See?”

Chara had some splashed on her so she shot up and looked over at eunice. "Wooo, you just got dunked on." Template admired the small gem. "Impressive"

Core

Eunice then tackled Dusk, who was laughing, they never did have a chance to grow up properly so they were still kids at heart. Ink then ate the small gem

"What's that taste like?" Template cocks his head. Tonic clears their thoat. "Uhh eunice."

Core

“Actually they are my favorite, a metallic taste with a bit of zing to them.” Ink explains. “What?” Eunice asked, getting off of Dusk

"Did that creatcher you blew up when we were exploring drop anything intresting?" "Sounds nice" he smiles

Core

“Not that I saw, well, except this.” Eunice said, digging in her pocket. “One of the eyes was a gem.”

Ink found another one and gave it to him

Tonic took it and put it in the spot of the scorpio. He shows it to eunice "check it out" it glowed for a second and then chilled out.

Core

“Huh, that’s weird....” Eunice said. Killer finally sat up, taking some of the pillsZ

Template looked apologeticly "oh I cant, I'm a carnavor. But thank you."

Core

(A Genocide Star, Huh.) “No worries.” Ink said

(Thats right huehue) chara hopped up happy killer was awake. "Good you're up! Let's go do something." Tonic nods "right? I wonder what would happen if you got all the pieces."

Core

(Not What I would assume, well you need some facts then. Genocide stars are like Hyenas, they work in groups with an alpha female. Their main weapon is their bite, the majority Are venomous.) “Like what?” Killer yawned. “Dunno....” Eunice thought.

(Good to know. He is a error veriant an, he goes against his nature in everyway possible because he hates every error varient he's met ever. He kinda hates himself cause of that.) "Well gee I dunno, we could fight if you want. Go find some exp. Critters." Chara says. Tonic thinks it over, what would even be worth gathering all of those pieces.

Core

“How about, you fight all three of us, and figure out the differences between the three kinds of stars? No powers or weapons allowed.” Killer explained. Shatter fused back together. “I dunno, I don’t think we are good examples of each type.”

"I agree with shatter but What do you mean 'all three?' I thought neon wasn't a star anyway?"

Core

“Doesn’t mean I don’t fit within the categories.” Neon said. “Yeah, Believe it or not that stupid squid can still be seen as a Pacifist Star.” Killer shrugged,

"Huh. Sounds weird. But you better believe I'm up for fighting neon!" She goes up to her.

Core

“Why?” Neon sighed. Getting up.

Template watches ink colect things patiently sitting cross-legged on a rock. "I wanna see what you can do! Technically I've fought everyone else here."

Tonic is melting the peices of her leg into one piece and works it around their fake leg. Totally unsure what they're doing.

Core

Ink made a bag, filling it with gems. Neon sighed. “I don’t have a choice I assume?”

Chara scowls. "If you hate it that much than I guess not."

Core

“Thank you.” Neon said with a nervous smile.

Chara sticks out her tounge jokingly giggling and turning away. "You wanna explain your hate of fighting?"

Core

“I just don’t see the purpose of it.” She said

"Aww, no fun story? I love those"

Core

“Well I’m sure she has some.” Neon said, referring to Killer.

"she hates talking about 'feelings'"

( don't mind me back story time, hope your notifications are off) Template was born with his brother pale after a big internal fight from his clan of stars. More than half of the group was killed for disobeying the alpha. Their mom raised them for a few years but their area was growing smaller and smaller as other packs fought for the area they lived in. Template was very different from his brother. Pale would almost never talk and when he did it was with a dead tone in his voice. Template was an energetic kit, happy and talkative but very skittish. Their mom favored template but pale was fine with that as he liked to be alone.

The alpha was loosing her grip on the pack again so she devised a plan. Pale was an extremely strong kit. Everyone knew he was made for great things, so the alpha took him under her wing years ago to teach him. The alpha ordered young pale to make some rounds around their pack's area, find the ones who planned on over throwing her. No one but template and their mom knew that pale was the Alpha's little lap dog so the plan was perfect. Or so she thought. Pale walked around listening to others until something snapped in him. He hated this pack. It never stuck him before but he hated it, emotions are something pale was never able to really feel (Cause he's an ink varient.) So when this random nagging emotion boiled up inside him he couldn't refuse. He started with a young family. He killed them. his poison, a shiny oil like liquid, obsorbed their soulstones. He's done that to random animals before but never a star and it filled him with ecstacy. After eating his fill he went on to the rest of the pack. He moved like a plegue, no one saw him coming. After a lot of the pack was gone and the sun started to rise, he went home to rest.

In the morning there's nothing but confusion from the rest of the stars. Template looked to his brother and saw a light in his eyes he's never seen before. He looked happy. Template didn't understand untill he checked his vennom. It was much more colorful in the light, not the black shine that it usually had. Template instantly knew what happened but was conflicted on what to do. Pale played along with the little sharade that he put on with the alpha. Telling her of a beast that came in the night and killed the stars. Template told his mom what he thought happened but she couldn't belive that a kit could do all of that. The next night pale finished his fun. His venom a brilliant matalic rainbow color. He saved template for last. Template ran as far as he could but was not nearly fast enough to excape his brother. Pale slowed template down and grabbed his foot wanting him to stay and talk. Template couldn't get out of his brother's grip so he didn't have a choice.

Pale kept him there as template squirmed and yelled at his brother, he used his pure indigo vennom which is great at paralyzing but it did nothing to this kit that had enough magic in him for a small contry. Pale was not about to yell over his brother so when template stopped screaming he finally got to talk. Pale talked calmly about them growing up together, no anger or sadness in his voice, he just wanted to see if template remembered. Of course template remembers he just didn't know why pale asked. Pale talked and talked more than template had ever heard from him in their life. Template after a while asked "are you going to kill me or not." To which pale laughed. Another thing template has never seen him do. After pale stopped he pulled template closer to whisper in his ear. "You and i are the same. There'd be no point in that." Pale let go of his leg and got up. "Good bye brother." And he hasn't seen pale sense.

Template grew up the rest of his teenhood by himself, petrified to join another pack. He was always good with magic tricks, simple things that pale didn't see a point to. Invisibility, teleportation, both came easily. So easily infact that he was hopping universes quite early. He spends most of his time looking at other as and learning. That's when he learned the truth that he was an error varient. A swap version with his brother pale. He tried to get away from any part of him that was typical for an error and tried his best to learn inks magic, he idealized inks and what they did. His paint brush ended up looking like a tablet pen with error signs and anything he made couldn't be colored, have eyes or have smooth lines. This enraged him for a long time. Then he found the ai star ink and became infatuated Yada yada.

( *looking at other aus )

Core

(👏👏👏 that backstory is awesome, slight problem though, Genocide Stars Are normally nocturnal, but other than that I love it so much. 🤩🤩🥳)

(haha whoops.)

“Well ask her about events, not feelings.”

Chara looks over to killer. "You heard the lady, care to share?"

Core

“Well, I can’t remember too much, but I do remember small bits here and there.”

Killer replied

"Do tell" Chara sat on the ground and looks at killer intently ready for a long story.

Core

“Well I never knew my real parents, I was raised by some humans. They were rather nice, that was until they got ill.” Killer started

"Ooo that sounds a little like what happened to me, though I was kinda the problem for my dad getting ill." She shared. "What kinda illness" Tonic asks

Core

“They called it the Black Death.” Killer answered. “After that this man took me under his wing, he taught me to fight, to kill. I became numb to the idea of death. Eventually he sent me on missions.”

Chara nodded.

Core

“And that is how I lived for a few years, he soon wanted more control over me, he did something called ‘hypnosis’ or something, and that’s where my memories get messed up, but I soon grew tired of his control so I tore out my eyes to keep myself from his control.”

"Did you kill him? Cause you shoulda killed him"

Core

“I did, but it still wasn’t enough for me.. I killed his family, his assistants and everything he cared about.” Killer said

Chara whistles

Core

“Then I met Nightmare, and the rest is history.”

"I see. Do you like horror killer? You two are adorable and should get married." She teases

Core

Killer blushed. “No! S-she’s obnoxious and an idiot and f-funny.”

"Hmmmm~? Looks like you're in denial." She grins

Core

“N-no!” Killer snapped back.

Chara just laughs. "Aww that's precious!"

Core

“Can it runt!”

"Make me"

Core

Killer smacked Chara on the head

"Oww"

"Ya don't have to be shy about it killz! She's really cute after all."

Core

“What do you know?” Killer hissed softly

"I've hung out with her, not like I spent all my time with you when I was in nights group."

Core

“Whatever.” Killer replied.

"WhAteVer" she mocks.

Core

Killer smacked her again.

"Cut that out!"

Core

“Then stop being a brat.” Killer responded

Tonic cut in as he could see chara was gonna flip. "Chara, how about we go huntting. You know, instead of this." Chara glared at tonic.

Core

Killer seemed to agree. “Good idea.”

Chara groans and stands up grabbing tonic ' paw and drags them to an area below where they were on the beach.

Core

A snapping turtle was digging in the sand

"look at that little demon" chara tells tonic. "it's just a turtle." they respond.

"yeah but look at that jaw and those spikes!"

"... okay?" tonic doesn't get it. chara goes low to the ground and sneaks up on the turtle with a stick.

Core

The turtle ate a worm it dug up

chara pokes the shell of it with the stick

Core

It scuttled into the water

"wow, it's a chicken. hmmm think there are bears or wolves around here?" "possibly." tonic says with a shrug.

Core

They soon both could smell something rotting

"smell that?" tonic asks. "of course i smell that tonic. smells like rotten meat, worst smell. my dad was a hunter and a bad one at that so i'd know." she walks over to where the smell came from.

Core

It was a human, their body washed ashore.

"ah, a human. got what they deserved it seems" she laughs. she pokes it with the stick and a part of their skin fell off.

Core

Tonic could see a familiar set of spines breach the water

tonic makes a squeak trying to talk as they back away. "chara chara it's back." chara looks around and sees nothing "what are you talking about spaz?"

Core

The corrupted Killer soon beaches herself, keeping her head low as she tore off some of the rotting meat

"ewwww. don't eat that!" chara tells it while poking a hole in the arm with the stick. a descent distance away. " how many of you are there killer?"

Core

The creature was missing a spine, and had large wounds all over her.

"chara, l-lets leave.." chara shakes her head. "it's just hungry! I'll go get it some meat. there's gotta be some animals on this island." tonic scowls.

Core

The corrupted star acted submissive, in no shape for another fight. Every time Chara messed with the corpse, she backed off slightly

"wow, we really broke you huh? wait here, i'll be back in a second. and don't eat that shit!" she goes up to the more wooded area to find something. tonic didn't follow and instead watched the corrupted star from the top of the beach.

Core

Pathogen ate up, quickly trying to finish the meal, she couldn’t chew like others, but instead tore off pieces. A female pheasant had her nest in some of the tall grass.

chara caught and killed the pheasant easily, she grabbed the eggs as well. going back to the beach. seeing pathogen eating it again. she sped up and said "hey! i said knock it off! you'll make yourself sick!" she pulls the bloated body away and lays the eggs and pheasant by her.

Core

Pathogen backed into the water, watching.

chara kicks the body away unceremoniously and moves the food she got closer to the water and backs away.

Core

Pathogen slowly came out of the water, eating the eggs whole.

"chara. i don't like that you're helping this thing." tonic says quietly. "well get over it tonic. go hang with shatter, that's what you're good for."

Core

Pathogen ate the eggs, then went back to the rotting body.

tonic huffed. chara picked up the phesent again. "i said stop that! this is your food." she moves the body more.

Core

Pathogen hissed slightly, she was a scavenger, eating rotten meat came naturally to her, besides, the pheasant was Chara’s kill, and she already learned that Chara is stronger, so why steal food from her?

chara didn't appreciate being hissed at and moved the body towards her and drops the phesent by it and started to walk away. "well that happened." she says to tonic. "who really didn't seem happy with her.

Core

Pathogen dragged both objects into the shallow water to eat

"so can you make portals or nah tonic." with a sigh they tell her that they can. "cool! take me to night please!" tonic asks "shouldn't we tell the others we're leaving?" "nah, they always seem to know where i am anyway." "fine." tonic picks up some mushrooms turning their color blue and makes a portal.

night went back home with the kits. "hey guysss." chara greats them. horror, cross, moku, LJ and a couple others were there as well. they were having a meeting or something.

StorySwap Color - Final Episode!!!

Swappy arrives at the castle once again. The puzzles were already solved, so there’s no need to do those again. Once they’re at the throne room, Swappy and Papyrus encounter once again… That is, until a bone blocks Papyrus’ to prevent it from breaking the mercy button. Sans comes into the scene, being all like “alright, here’s the deal: we aren’t gonna kill anybody.” Papyrus is both surprised and glad by Sans’ appearance, HE CAME TO VISIT!! The two skeletons have a back and forth, until Undyne bursts in holding a spear and is like “SANS DON’T YOU DARE HURT PAPYRUS– Oh hey kid”

Swappy waves, and Sans is understandably confused by this, but Papyrus is like “UNDNYE AS WELL??? IS THIS A SURPRISE PARTY???”, to which sans replies with “yeah bro, we’re celebrating the kid’s birthday” “I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS THE HUMAN’S BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUMAN!!!”, Undyne frowns. Then Asgore kicks in, concerned over the well being of Papyrus (and Swappy). Sans and him share a look, but Sans shrugs it off, he winks and says “hey, no hard feelings, ‘gore, i’m over it.” Asgore coughs, he’s like “Papyrus. Please give this human.–”

But he’s suddenly interrupted by chara, who bursts into the scene as well, being all like “Don’t fight each other!! Let this human live!!” somehow avoiding all tsundereness about it, Asriel also appears to back it up. “YEAH don’t hurt Fr- I mean, the human.” Papyrus is so confused, but Sans is like “oh hey, i know that squeaky pubescent voice. oh, and asriel’s.” Chara is ticked off, but Asriel is glad to meet Sans properly for the first time.

But then Alphys and Toriel also come in and ready to protect Swappy, begging Papyrus not to kill Swappy, but he’s all like “WHY WOULD I DO THAT? I WASN’T GOING TO KILL THEM, WE WERE JUST GOING TO DUEL!” Everyone looks at Papyrus with a blank stare, perplexed. “WHAT? WHY WOULD I TAKE SOMEONE ELSE’S SOUL?! THAT WOULD BE MURDERING.” Everyone laughs nervously, looking to the side awkwardly.

Toriel looks at Swappy, being like “Child, you heard Papyrus, crossing the barrier may be a bit too dangerous as of now. You can stay with us, if you’d like!” … Swappy stares blankly, they really do want to go back to the surface. But knowing what happened before, they nod silently, agreeing to staying here for now. Surely they’d find a way, one day. Everyone is relieved to hear that.

Asriel then brings up why did everyone know to come here anyways, Undyne mentions “A weird talking flower told me that Sans was gonna kill Papyrus, so I OBVIOUSLY had to come to save him.” Sans just chuckles about it, why’d she hear a flower? Alphys and Toriel are like “Excuse me, did you just say a flower?”

Oh dear! It looks like everybody’s been imprisoned by Florescent’s vines! Swappy is taken aback; didn’t they do everything right this time?

“Don’t worry, darling, you played your role just fine! But now, it’s time for someone else to have their spotlight! BEHOLD, AS I TAKE THE FORM OF SOMETHING SO FABULOUS, YOUR FEEBLE HUMAN MIND CAN SCARCELY COMPREHEND I- wait a moment.”

Florescent looks up to one of his victims, and notices Chara, another human. “Well, well, well! Isn’t that an intriguing development! TWO humans, for the price of one!”

Chara struggles in futility, trying to wedge themselves out of the vines as Florescent cackles, delighted by it all, in a sick, twisted sort of way. “Let me go, you… you insolent weed!”

The aforementioned insolent weed starts to comply with Chara’s request… only to summon a spiky thorn pit below the two humans… which is promptly burned away by a fire attack. “Get your filthy vines off them, you damn dirty flower!”

Asriel bursts onto the scene, followed by Royal Guardsmen and other monsters that Swappy met on their journey. Chara looks around, tears welling up in their eyes for the first time in… how long had it even been? Well, it didn’t matter now. They were just happy to see everyone here! “You guys… you all cared about us this much?” It all seems like it’s going to be a nice, happy ending, and everything would work out, but… suddenly Florescent starts chuckling.

“Oh, no… human, how could you do this?!” He says in a faux-dramatic voice. “Look at me, I’m positively shaking…”

Well, he certainly was shaking, alright. Shaking and wiggling until suddenly, his face inflated to about 3x its usual size, gaining an uncomfortable amount of humanoid detail as he sported an Oscar-winning grin. “I’ll admit, kids! You almost had me! But don’t you know, a story is nothing… WITHOUT A FEW PLOT TWISTS~!”

“All these souls…”

The face started to melt, becoming more and more skull-like.

“… are MINE now!”

He began to cackle, as everything faded to white.

“Don’t touch that dial, folks! W E ‘ R E J U S T G E T T I N G S T A R T E D !”

The pure whiteness fades out as smoke dissipates into nothing. Chara and Swappy cough the bits of smoke that entered their mouths out before looking around… not only was Florescent nowhere to be found, but they were in a new location entirely. They were… outside. How odd.

“Look, as much as it hates me to say this, I think we might have to team up to stop… whatever’s happening right now.” Chara says, seconds before a cane extends from out of the darkness and yanks them out of sight.

“Sorry, but Chara’s going to have to get ready for their part in the grand finale! You, however… you have front row seats, darling. Toodles~!”

Swappy walks through the dark outside area, through a giant set of wooden double doors that sported elaborate designs relating to the art of theatre. The typical happy and sad masks were there, but their eyes were more ovular and widened, and the happy one seemed to be missing an eye-hole.

Once inside, Swappy would be treated to an enthralling organ composition as they walked past rows and rows of seats filled by empty, doll-like simulacra of their various monster friends. Once they got to the front, true to the voice’s word, a spotlight was cast down on an empty seat near the organ, which was actually ginormous! The stool alone looked to be about the size of a small house.

After sitting there, listening to the music for a moment, their chair suddenly lurched back, then flung Swappy on top of the stool to see… the keys were pressing themselves. At least, for a moment they were, since they stopped a few seconds after Swappy stuck the landing. The giant music sheets flipped through themselves for a moment before stopping on a peculiar page… there were only six notes, and the time signature was 6/8.

Suddenly, the page flipped once more, and on the new page was… a little bedsheet ghost made from notes and lines used in music writing. It had what seemed to be hair covering half of its face, and it looked down on Swappy with glee.

“Ah, you’ve finally arrived! Now, we can finally move past this drab pre-show and get to the main event!” A voice rang out from nowhere in particular. The pages moved again, this time seemingly being more of a flipbook animation for this little ghost. It floated in a figure-8 pattern before the ink started… smearing… into something comparable to a rorschach blot test.

“It won’t just be like old times, it’ll be BETTER! More drama, more action, an intense struggle of man and monster, over the fate of… well, EVERYTHING~!”

Something burst out of the organ, knocking the book down onto the keys and providing a neat little bridge. Swappy runs up as more stairs twisted downwards to allow them to get up to the main platform. Fireworks sprinkled the sky with light as the human made their ascent…

Finally, at the top, Swappy stood before a figure sitting on an elaborate throne, with spotlights that previously swiveled around to light up the sky slowly lowering down to point at him. Florescent was humanoid, now, with dark hair and an eye-catching outfit that just SCREAMED “I’m fabulous to a degree that mortals will never reach for as long as they live on this earth.” Needless to say, Swappy was a bit taken aback by this.

“Ahahaha! Getting stage fright, sweetheart? How cute.” The figure stood up, slamming their heels onto the ground as they bounded down the mini-set of stairs to stand closer to Swappy. “But it’s too late now! The show’s starting, and I’d hate to disappoint a certain someone in the audience…”

Swappy would find the figure to be correct; the stairs that helped them reach this platform had disappeared, leaving only an impossible drop to a sea of ravenous audience members screaming and cheering. Delighted by all of this, the figure summoned forth a dazzling microphone. “Beauties and gentlebeauties… puts your hands together, clap and cheer like it’s the end of the world, for the grandest of returns…!”

Cue battle transition.

“It is I… METTACRIT!”

The fight begins against Mettacrit. He talks about how long he’s been waiting for this moment since he failed blooky and the Fallen Human, he misses them too much. He knows that Swappy has been keeping them in their SOUL and he wants to get them out of it, even if it means Killing Swappy to do it. He doesn’t really want to, but the two are trapped, so he tells Swappy to give up.

Of course, Swappy doesn’t agree, which causes Crit to say “I’ll force you out!” As he brings Chara out again, he grins. He forcefully takes out their soul and puts them aside. “Fallen human, I got you a body and a SOUL!”. Swapy is horrified by his actions. Crit laughs, as he shifts into his second form.

Swappy struggles, they can’t move, however… Two voices speak in Swappy’s head, and say “You can still save someone.” Which means LOST SOUL time.

After saving everyone, Swappy saves Metta after calming him down, as he’s finally accepting that maybe, they’re actually gone. The fight ends, Metta apologizes to Swappy.

“I could feel them… but… I suppose I need to accept that they’re… gone…” Swappy doesn’t hug them, they look to the side… “I suppose I can only thank you… … actually, what is your name?” Swappy replies with “Frisk”, to which Metta seems weirded out– just what kind of name is Frisk.

Mettacrit, after a moment of reflection, sighs and says “I guess I should bring everyone, including them.” he says as he looks over at Chara’s body. Swappy immediately brightens up, since, hadn’t Chara died in front of their very own eyes. Mettacrit assures them that he didn’t, he only took their SOUL, they aren’t dead really.

After breaking the barrier, Mettacrit restores the SOULs, and after waving goodbye to Swappy, he leaves as the screen fades to white…

Shattered SOULs: Chapter 1

WOOOO! I did it. I'm really proud of this one, and at the end, three characters made cameos. Cybercore Temmie belongs to XenomorphicDragon! Wolfdog/The irritating cat belongs to @wolfgirl55stuff (Streamtale) And Hawkguard belongs to @luna-shimizu Table of contents: https://www.deviantart.com/bellae99/journal/Shattered-SOULs-Table-of-contents-plus-characters-802585184 Prologue: https://www.deviantart.com/bellae99/art/Shattered-SOULs-Prologue-801887025 Keep reading for the story

Peppy blinked. Her brown hair was spread across her face like threads of spilled yarn. Where was she? The ground was cold and wet underneath her, her arms were on her chest, palms facing upwards, and her legs were perfectly straight. She was lying down. In mud. Then she remembered to breathe and sat straight up, propping herself up with her hands. Mud squelched through her fingers, oozing onto the ground.

Memories started filling her mind and her magenta eyes widened as she realised what had happened. Was she….. outside the Barrier? A chill ran down her spine as she took in her surroundings. A lush forest spread out like a green carpet below her, rolling into cities, and finally to the ocean, which gleamed with the setting sun. She looked behind her, and saw what she had dreaded. The Barrier.

“No…. no!” She scrambled up, wiping her palms on her blue pants as she went. “Lagoon! Lagoon? Are you there?” She pressed her hands against the Barrier. “Please come back….” she whispered. She looked back into the Underground and saw only an orangey flower, faced away from her. Purple columns surrounded the Barrier’s sides, stretching up into an arch. Beyond was the flower….. and nothing else.

A single petal fluttered off of the flower, spiralling towards her. She dropped her knees and caught it. It was soft against the orange sunlight. She swallowed and, despite her efforts not to, started to cry, tears welling up in her eyes, and spilling down her cheeks. A single drop landed on the petal, a glistening diamond bathing in a sea of orange.

Sound had ceased to exist, and so she was startled when a voice groaned. “Ugh…. Peppy, did we just really-” Peppy whipped her head around. “Lagoon!” she cried out, and struggled to her feet, stumbling to help Lagoon, also known as Chara, to his feet.

Lagoon brushed himself off and surveyed the distance. He looked magnificent, silhouetted by the setting sun, his loose robe billowing slightly in the wind. His cheeks glowed green, his emotion-read for happiness, and Peppy sighed.

Lagoon turned to her. “What is it- Oh. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no.” His cheeks glowed orange in alarm and his eyes widened. “Peppy - is the Barrier not-” Peppy shook her head. “It’s not broken.”

His cheeks turned pink, and his eyes turned hollow, a drop of black oozing from the corner of his mouth. “All we worked for- Gone? All gone!? And it’s not my fault!” He stamped his foot, splashing mud on the low-hanging corner of his robe, and Peppy stepped back. “Lagoon, calm down-” “No! I don’t think I will! Everything these past few weeks have been about has been lost, and where are we? In a worse position than before!” He punched the rock beside them. “Lagoon! Calm yourself!” Peppy raised her voice.

Lagoon looked at her, his eyes glinting. “Peppy! Look! What have we accomplished?” Peppy put her hands on her hips. “We’re out of the Underground. And I have a plan.” Lagoon’s cheeks softened a little, and his eyes glowed reddish. “Really…..?” Peppy clasped her hands. “Really.”

They started walking down to the city. “So how is it gonna work?” Peppy grinned. “Well, my dear Lagoon…..” she whispered something almost inaudible into Lagoon’s ear, and he looked at her incredulously. “Where are you going to get a SOUL?” Peppy smiled condescendly. “I move in mysterious ways, Lagoon. Let’s go!”

They made their way out of the forest and into a bustling city. It grew steadily taller as they progressed, streets gradually becoming busier, the world losing its colour and washing out into tall, grey buildings. Peppy started weaving among a throng of people, and Lagoon scowled as he followed, walking through people. Eventually, he hovered above the heads.

Peppy brushed against a person and stepped to the side, slipping into an alley. Lagoon followed and opened his mouth to speak, but Peppy waved a hand through his head. He shut up and Peppy gestured towards the end of the alley.

Someone was dying there. Lagoon could tell. He floated towards the dark mass, and knelt beside it. Peppy raced up to him and rolled the body over. “Oh no,” she whispered. “Hello?” But it was too late. The blue haired boy had bled out.

Lagoon shook Peppy’s shoulder. “Come on! We can get the SOUL!” Peppy stared in horror at him. “We can’t just…. he just…” Lagoon snarled impatiently and Peppy snapped to her senses and grabbed the hovering red SOUL. “Let’s just go, ok, Lagoon?”

They trudged back into the forest and battled their way to Mt. Ebott. “So Lagoon,” Peppy started. “Why did you climb up the mountain?” Lagoon grimaced. “I wanted to take a look at where the monsters were. Then it started raining, and I ran into the cave. And…. I tripped. Fell in. It hurt.”

Peppy giggled. “Why did you climb it?” Lagoon asked. Peppy stopped in her tracks and lost her easy going smile. “I don’t want to talk about it.” Lagoon raised an eyebrow. “Come on, tell. I told you my reason!”

“.... It was because I was being stupid. I thought nobody loved me. Ok?” Peppy stormed up ahead, leaving Lagoon to cover his mouth and curse himself for being silly. “Peppy, wait!”

Peppy only stopped as her phone rang. “Hello?” Cloak’s accent floated into the air. “heya kiddo.” Peppy stopped short. “Cloak! I didn’t kill Asgore! It was that damned flower! Is Dr G with you?” Cloak sounded hesitant. “uh. yeah?” There were sounds of the phone being passed around. “Yes, Miss Frisk?” Peppy snorted. “You know not to call me that. Are the human SOULs still around?” Wing Dings Gaster, affectionately known as Goofster by his friends, inhaled sharply. “Yes? They are.” Peppy nodded affirmatively. “Alright. Get to the RUINs, and I’ll be down shortly.” Goofster frowned audibly. “Uh- ok, but wh-” Peppy ended the call, waited for Lagoon to catch up, and ran off towards the cave, leaving their silent watcher behind.

Peppy skidded to a stop at the edge of the massive drop. “Hello?” Her voice echoed down, bouncing around the damp walls and rebounding at her. “We’re here!” The voice of Goofster echoed up to them. “Ok! Coming down!” Holding her breath, Peppy jumped.

“HUH? HUMAN FRISK!” Jejune, speaking in his trademark Papyrus Font, shielded his eyesockets, looked up, and hurriedly slowed her fall by turning her SOUL blue. Gently lowering her to the ground, he rushed forward. “ARE YOU OK?” He rushed forward and picked her up. “I’m fine, Jejune.” Peppy was placed down and Lagoon floated down after her. “That was incredibly brave or incredibly stupid,” he commented, and Peppy glared at him.

“RIGHT! LET’S GO! NYEHEHEH!” Jejune picked Peppy up, put her on his shoulders, and raced off. Cloak and Goofster looked at each other, shrugged, and stepped onto their respective Gaster Blasters. They acted as helpers for experiments and small testers. They were also capable of holding the skeletons, and were happy to be used as transport. Goofster put his arms behind his back and Lizzy, his blaster, zoomed off. His coat billowed out behind him, whirling into a white cloud.

They arrived at the capitol quickly, Goofster and Cloak trailing behind Jejune and Peppy. They stepped up to the steps of the castle and knocked. The great stone doors swung open, revealing a room with gigantic windows, light streaming in ribbons onto the carpet of titian flowers.

Vines crawled up the walls, but despite the lush undergrowth, the throne room was inhabited. A large goat monster stood in the very center of the room, glaring at the throne in front of her. Her back was turned, but Peppy could tell she was wearing her classic, ankle-length, violet robe with its white hem and pink ribbons flying from the wrist. Her light rose boots were dusted with a light covering of orange pollen, and her brown backpack was discarded in a corner. One of her ears flopped backwards, displaying a scar nestled in the fluff of her fur.

Goofster coughed politely, and the queen turned around, a frown marring her normally kind face. The glowing heart shape on her chest was a dark maroon, signalling anger. “What do you wa- Peppy!” Flame rushed forward, sweeping Cloak and Jejune aside, and scooped Peppy into her arms. Nestled between her arms and her chest, which was now a warm green, Peppy snuggled further into her adopted mother’s arms. “My child, are you hurt?”

Without waiting for a reply, Flame checked Peppy’s stats. She gently put her down, and turned to the skeletons with a look of anger on her face. “She’s hurt! You should have healed her when you had the chance!” Goofster bowed a little. “My apologies, your majesty, I-” “Don’t ‘your majesty’ me!” thundered Flame. Phantom cowered beside Cloak, who remained perfectly still, staring intensely at the queen. Peppy shyly tugged the edge of Flame’s robe. Flame whirled to face her and knelt. “Is there anything you need, my child?”

Peppy shook her head. “No, mum. I’m just saying, they didn’t know. I… I have to do something. Can you take me to see the SOULs?” Flame cupped Peppy’s cheek with one soft paw. “Alright, my child. Once you’ve healed and rested.” Peppy internally rolled her eyes, but agreed. Lagoon stood in the corner of the Judgement hall, observing.

Peppy stayed the night, and woke at exactly 3:45am. She quietly moved the bedcovers out of the way and tiptoed to the window. She swished the curtains aside and looked out at the artificially moonlit city. Two whispers caught her attention and she stuck her head out the window to see two familiar figures making their way past the castle and heading to the park.

One was tall, and lean, with fanned ears and a high ponytail. The other was about to her hip, with rows upon rows of head spikes, a hunched posture, and stubby little limbs that would have been recognizable anywhere. Oak and Minerva. Peppy whistled and Oak whipped her head to see Peppy waving wildly at her. “Punk?” she muttered, and, pointing her out to Minerva, started making her way over. “What are you doing back down here?” she called up. Peppy shrugged. “I’m here to free you all.” Minerva remained silent.

“That sounds excellent. How are you planning to do that?” Peppy folded her arms. “Not telling.” Lagoon mumbled and turned in his sleeping position on his bed. “What are you two doing out at 3am?” Minerva peeped her head up beside the window. “N-nothing.” Peppy sighed. “Alright. See you two tomorrow. Have fun on your date!”

Ignoring Minerva’s protests, she shut the curtains and headed back to sleep.

She woke again at 7:00am, and jumped up to see Flame cooking breakfast. “I’m so glad you’re awake! I thought it must have been a dream when my darling child made her way back here.” Peppy grinned. “I’m glad to see you too, mum!” Flame turned with a stack of steaming pancakes on a plate in one hand. Peppy’s mouth watered at the sight of it.

Peppy scarfed it all down, Lagoon staring jealously at the food, and Flame laughing and telling her to slow down. Once she was finished, Peppy jumped up and started bouncing excitedly. “Come on, come on, let’s go!!!!” Flame laughed, and obliged Peppy by taking her to the SOULs.

They were in front of the Barrier, looking out at the sun and the overworld. Lagoon floated to the nearest, the patience SOUL, and looked at Peppy. Peppy nodded, and unscrewed the jar. The SOUL floated out, humming, and shining with an iridescent cyan glow. Flame started to say something, but Peppy touched the SOUL.

It melted into a thousand particles and flowed into her arm.

Her SOUL felt as if it were on fire.

Then the burning stopped, and Peppy straightened. She felt strong, empowered. A mark in the shape and colour of the SOUL appeared on her arm.

She repeated the process, exhausting herself.

Soon she had seven tattoos on her arm. She swallowed, and looked at Flame. “I can break the Barrier,” she announced, and Flame stared at her, flabbergasted.

There were thousands of monsters at the breaking of the Barrier, including a cat-like monster with green eyes, yellow fur, and orange markings, who went by Wolf, a Temmie with a dark grey chestplate with light blue glowing markings that went into wires that attached to bracelets on its wrists, a hawk-like humanoid with plain clothes, yet with obvious muscles behind her feathers, and a few others that, like the afore mentioned, flickered a lot.

Peppy could feel the eyes burning into her as she reached out a hand. Murmurs ran around the crowd, the main ones being ‘We’re going to be free’, and ‘Our saviour’. Tears welled in Peppy’s eyes as she reached out a hand to touch the Barrier…. And the last thing she saw before fading blackness, was the Barrier cracking, bending, and finally shattering under her touch.

Home for the Holidays: goodbye (2 of 3)

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy went and put Shifter on the bed again, prompting up Shifter’s head again. with a pillow. He put a candy piece by the bedside for Shifter. "I… I don’t know what happened to him… I was trying to help him… ”

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): “I know Gummy… he… it was propably too much for his mind… he went in some crazy amok… that’s why I took Candy with me…” Little green gril was next to Nightmare hidding little, shyly and worried. “She already was using sleeping spell on other flower once… at least he will rest a little… but not too long I think anyway.” He admitted. "Don’t blame yourself buddy… you did everything you could…“ He added.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy rubbed his vines together, he was still sniffling from before, Shifter was hurt, scared, and alone… he should have found him sooner… it was…"But I was suppose to protect him… I pr-promised I’d keep him safe…. I should have tried harder… ” he rubbed the tears away, looking to shifter, “ I just want to send him home… that way…” he paused, he knew that it also meant never seeing shifter again, “… that way he has his other friends to protect him…” they’ll do a better job than he ever could right…?

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Nightmare looked sadly at Gummy. “Well… as much at it sounds awful… you can’t protect someone all the time if you have your own life, and… as much as I would want you two to spend more time with each other… it… yeah… I think sending him home is the only thing that can make him back to his senses. He can’t be here any longer… otherwise… it will not be Shifter anymore…” He pet Gummy on the back.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy’s gaze never left Shifter, he had done this before… but the memory felt so old… watching someone sleep on their last night. He rubbed his vines together, he didn’t want to think about it… it wasn’t like that… it wasn’t like Cha- "….I know I can’t keep protecting him…. but at least until he goes home… “ but sending shifter home would make it so he’d never see him again, he’d never see Shifter again… he’d forget Shifter, he’d go back too… he’d- ”…. m-maybe we should send him home now…? th-that way it’ll feel like just a dream to him… ju-just a nightmare…“ Gummy grabbed the blanket and pulled it over Shifter. He was shifter’s nightmare…: he had to be a terrible friend… he had always been a terrible friend.. why would that ever change?

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): "I-i… I would want to send him like that too, but… he must be woke up for that… I don’t think that there is the other way…” He looked ta Gummy, he was a true friend, a friend that many people wish to have. “I think you should say goodbye to him anyway… you are like one of few people that he really trust… you… shouldn’t leave this all without a word… I am sure he would want that too…”

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy stroked Shifter’s head slightly with a vine, as if a last check on the reality. his vine fell back to the floor as he finally looked to Nightmare, “…yeah… I guess I could at least do that…” with that he went to grab another bottled water placing that on the bed side table, “…. he might want to say goodbye… ”

CuteCat: Shifter murmured, starting to shift. He was talking in his sleep, but it was all just gibberish. Fragmented.

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Candy has an idea. “ Uum… m-maybe if… if you want him wake up… y-you should try put on his face few water drops? I heard that it helping someone to w-wake up…” Nigthmare looked at her and thought for a moment. “Hmm… m-maybe she is right… but… you should decide Gummy.”

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy looked at them confused, but decided maybe it was for the best. he opened the bottle of water, and tried to drop only a little bit onto Shifter’s face.

CuteCat: Shifter murmured, then opened his eye. He stared distantly at Gummy before moving up to a sit, leaves placed to his stem. He still felt like he was bleeding. He felt he was bleeding from his eye. [crying] His insides were still broken. … He looked to Gummy. For now not saying anything.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy looked over to shifter, he smiled slightly in relief. “y-you’re awake… I was so worried… I…” gummy handed Shifter the water bottle, waiting for him to take it, “I… I found a way for you to go home… y-you can…” Gummy sniffed a bit, he should be happy… he finally could give Shifter the one thing he wanted… he could…

CuteCat: Shifter watched Gummy. He didn’t take the bottle. “Gummy?” he asked. His vision felt fuzzy… He couldn’t hear himself. “My heart won’t stop bleeding.”

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Nightmare and Candy was watching from the distance all situation. Both was little worried what Shifter meant by that.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy tensed up, what did shifter mean, what did he mean by that? Gummy pulled the bottle away, placing the bottle down, and moving his vine. “… d-does where your wound use to be hurt…? are you hurt… ? I-” gummy moved the blanket slightly, checking over shifter for and injuries… “Shifter… was it your dream…?”

CuteCat: Shifter was quiet for a few seconds. Then, carefully, he pulled a soul from himself. A grey, almost sickly-looking heart, definitely not human nor monster, thick strands of something dark and sludge-like tethering it to Shifter’s body. “This… Won’t stop bleeding.” He didn’t like it. He couldn’t see it bleed. He was sure it was. But it was out now; he felt hollow again. Like his … him, was gone again…. It kept away some of the buzzing static that enveloped his mind. It felt better. So he didn’t think, didn’t mind, when a few strands of black tar started running down from the hole where his right eye should be.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy tensed up seeing the soul, Shifter said if he pulled it out he’d stop existing- why did he-. Gummy pushed shifter’s leaves into putting back the soul inside of Shifter’s body. with a shaking voice, “D-don’t do that… don’t ever do that….” he almost couldn’t hold back the tears. it was that memory of his, someone had do it before… they tried to… chara… but it was something else, not like this it wasn’t- “DON’T YOU EVER PULL THAT OUT. I-it’s fine…. it’s not bleeding… it was just a dream…. it wasn’t real…” he gripped tightly on Shifter’s leaves, finally letting it show that he was hurt, he didn’t know why… why did he have to lose all of his friends… he didn’t deserve to keep friends… that’s what the universe had to be telling him… wasn’t it… "… y-you’re fine….“

CuteCat: Shifter tried to push back against Gummy’s vines, but his little leaves were too soft to be a match and thus the heart was pressed back into his stem, and he was forced to absorb it. "I don’t want it,” he protested. He had no pupil, only watching Gummy with a black void. “It’s bleeding. I’m bleeding.” Dream. A dream? That was right, he had dreamt. Disjointed snippets of dialogue and pain. Someone’s voice. His brother. … Best for you.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy was shaking, why was Shifter saying that… he shouldn’t be… Gummy couldn’t look at the black orbs, he couldn’t face them… he tried to tell himself, that it was fine, that the soul was fine, he wasn’t a regular flower, Shifter had a soul, it had to be different. “Shifter it’s… Y-you’re different… it’s not bleeding… you’re-” Gummy’s voice got quieter, he was trying to hold back the tears. “… I don’t want you to stop existing…”

CuteCat: Shifter kept watching Gummy. “Why?” he asked. “Nothing will end until I do. I can’t go home until I do.” I don’t want to go back anymore Thank goodness he wasn’t rooted, so he couldn’t make any vines and further worsen matters

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy shook his head, tears started forming in his eyes, “TH-THAT’S… That’s not true.” Gummy’s eyes looked hurt as Shifter said that to him, “I-I got you a way home… I found it for you, you need to keep existing s-so we can see eachother again….” Gummy sniffed, as he held shifter’s leaves, “ ….d-don’t you want to see me again…?”

CuteCat: Shifter leaned down toward Gummy, almost touching faces with him. Like he was trying to be comforting. “Everyone will be happy.” His voice was shaky, unstable. Everyone had to be happy. He couldn’t move his leaves. Couldn’t pull his heart out again, couldn’t stop the bleeding. His heart felt heavier, chained.

GUMMY (LLA): “I…I won’t…” Gummy sniffed as he wouldn’t let go of Shifter’s leaves. “I won’t be happier with you gone… Y-you’re my b-best friend… I… I’m suppose to protect you…I’m…” he sniffed again, “I don’t want you to go away… wh-what about Akim and Eb-Ebott…? D-don’t you want to see them again…? Don’t you want to go home…? Don’t you….”

CuteCat: Shifter was quivering. “Everyone would be happy,” he repeated, shakier and less convinced. Why? protect you Why? want to go home Why? Why? Why? friend He was crying. He tried to tug his leaves back- he couldn’t. He couldn’t summon new ones, the ones he had took up too much space. “I… I… why…” Why had all this happened to him? It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t right. He was supposed to have an answer. He was … he … “……….” He felt like he was blacking out.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy took one of his free vines grabbing the half piece of the candy, “… Sh-shifter please… we’re best friends, and best friends are there for eachother, they protect e-eachother, they’d do anything to k-keep them safe…” he gave one last big sniff as he brought the candy towards shifter, “ I- I can send you back home, I can make sure you go far away from this place, you can… you can see your other friends, they’ll m-make you feel safe too…”

CuteCat: His vision was hazy, too hazy. Only colors. “I can’t… I can’t see you…” Thoughts of home were nowhere on his mind anymore. He wanted to black out. He couldn’t stop- his eye wouldn’t stop bleeding tears. Home. He looked distraught and sad, trying to pull his leaves free only a tiny bit before slumping forward. It made no sense. His mind wouldn’t make sense, it was only a loud buzzing. He couldn’t think. “I can’t think I can’t see you please he lp m e”

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy started shaking, “ I-I’m right here, Shifter” he let go of shifter’s vines as he wrapped himself around Shifter holding him close, he didn’t know what to do…. if he sent Shifter home, he’d- he’d be fine… he had to be fine… gummy moved the piece of candy infront of Shifter’s mouth, shaking as he could barely bring himself to force it into Shifter’s mouth, “I…I’m sorry….”

[Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Nightmare turned his head, and Candy seems to disappear somewhere. It was hard for them both to watch.

CuteCat: Shifter didn’t take the candy, he couldn’t see it. He didn’t understand. Why? Why was Gummy apologizing? He couldn’t see him. He could feel him. The noise kept him from thinking, from doing anything. He held onto Gummy tight, as tight as he could. “I can’t think. I can’t see. Don’t let me go.”

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy held on tightly to shifter, he didn’t want to let shifter go, he didn’t want to loose his friend, “y-you need to go home… I want to send you home… s-so you can be with your other friends, just like you wanted. ” gummy sniffed, he stroked shifter, trying to calm Shifter down, “j-just relax, please… let me help you” his vine still shaked as he held the candy, “I can send you home… j-just let me send you home, shifter…”

CuteCat: Did he want that? He could no longer remember. Shifter’s gaze was distant. He wanted to pass out. He closed his eye, slumping against Gummy. Nothing but noise and buzzing.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy held on to shifter tightly he sniffed again, he wanted to remind Shifter that he would go home and he’d be safe again. he wanted shifter to be happy, to continue to exist it wasn’t fair. “ I’ll send you home to your friends… a-and then we can visit eachother, we can play together again, a-all you have to do is go home, j-just like you wanted. Yo-your friends will find you and th-they’ll take good care of you, they’ll… ” he sniff as he brought the candy to Shifter’s mouth, as he started to whisper quietly. “…g-goodbye Shifter… I-I’ll see you soon…”

CuteCat: Goodbye. Why? “Where are you going?” Was Gummy leaving? “Don’t let go…” He didn’t want to be alone again. Alone, hurt, I’m sorry alone they tore him apart the whispers and the reassurances and pain together. “Don’t help me,” he whispered.

GUMMY (LLA): “Sh-Shifter, y-you have to go home… you’ll be safe i-if you go home…. I know that it’s too dangerous for you here…. s-so if you go back home you’ll be safe…” his vine shook as he held the candy just infront of Shifter’s mouth ready to push it into shifter’s mouth any second… he wanted nothing more than to just go with Shifter… he just wanted to keep shifter safe, he didn’t want him to be scared. “This was all you wanted before… you kept telling me how much you missed them too…” " … I just want to send you home… s-so you can be with them… S-so you can be safe again…“

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): You could hear soft sobbing from one of the corner in room.

CuteCat: "Don’t help me,” Shifter repeated. pulling out his eye, he couldn’t see anyway “I can’t think.” I can help you it’s okay I know what to do “I can’t remember anything.” He wasn’t resisting, but his thoughts were all a jumble. He could imagine Gummy smiling in that sweet reassuring way. Knowing how to help, suggesting, telling him what to do. How to do it. Opening his mouth and a buzzing sound like a swarm of flies … Shifter frowned. “I can’t remember…”

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy tensed up at the shifter’s final words, he held shifter there for a moment, before he sniffed, “ just open your mouth…and I’ll give you a way home… just like you wanted” it was the only thing Gummy could think of, “I-I’ll take it too… we can go home… we can both go home… an-and we’ll see each other again really soon”

CuteCat: Shifter fell silent, just leaning against Gummy. His thoughts fizzled out completely, and he passed out.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy sniffed, he couldn’t take it… why did this happen, he held onto shifter tightly. He had to send Shifter home, he had to it… shifter couldn’t stay here anymore… he had to go back. He vine shook more, he tried to bring up the courage just to force it into shifter’s mouth… but it was so hard.. why couldn’t he just help shifter… why couldn’t he be a good friend and… “I… I’m sorry…. Im so pathetic shifter…..”

GUMMY (LLA): After several minutes of gummy sobbing with shaking vine, he forced shifter’s mouth open, forcing in the candy. It’s for the best was all he could say to himself. He’ll be safe, he gave shifter a tight embrace as he made sure to make shifter swallow the candy piece… he’ll see him again… they’ll find each other again

CuteCat: Shifter was held close, hugged, unresponsive to any of it in his current state. The candy disappeared into his body … and then, almost like he’d never been there, he vanished out of Gummy’s vines. There was no farewell, no chance to undo it - he was just suddenly… not there anymore.

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): It turned little quiet… Candy wasn’t around anymore… she propably couldn’t withstand all situation. Nightmare otherwise was still sitting in corner, shivering, pretty hurt by this situation. That’s silence was scaring him, but he must know… is he……He looked at a place where Gummy was. Shifter…….was gone. He wasn’t here anymore. Like in the start he thought it was a good idea, that… it will end suffering at least few flowers… n-now… he felt guilty, covering his face in vines he finally said: “ I-i’m… I’m so sorry G-gummy! I-it’s all… my fault! Y-you… y-you don’t deserve this all to h-happened. Y-you… don’t deserve to b-be in horror like t-that… and… it’s a-all because of m-me.” He was shivering and sobbing in the corner. What if Shifter isn’t alright? What if he taken a bad choice?

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy looked down sniffing as he hugs himself, as though Shifter is still there, he couldn’t take it… he had made the right choice he had to have… shifter would be fine… he had to be fine… his friends… his real friends would help him…Gummy barely heard nightmare, he just wanted to keep pretending shifter was there, that Shifter would be fine, that everything would be just fine… “… I saved him… I gave him what he wanted… I…” gummy turned around seeing the state of the hotel room… shifter’s things were still on the ground…He made his way over to the belongings and placing a vine slowly on the music box.. " … he’s safe… he’ll be just fine…“ ”… his friends will find him…“
