Crazy Theory: The past and the First Dark Fountain
Okay, what I'm about to tell is too far-fetched even for me, but let's talk about it anyway: I think I know what happened to Kris, Dess, and this Fountain, but to find out, we first have to delve into their past.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It all begins when Kris is adopted by the Dreemurrs and, along with Asriel, becomes friends with the Holidays. A few years later, Kris and Noelle grow up and befriend Catti, with whom Kris performs a ritual to summon a demon.
What young Kris didn't know then was that this would cause them trouble later on.
As the story progresses, Kris encounters the same creature one day, who leads them through the forest and causes them to get lost, until they reach a place: the first Dark Fountain. Intrigued, Kris enters and is shocked by what they find there. Then they decided to go back to tell everyone about it, but since they got lost the monsters found them and they got scold. Kris tried to tell them what happened, but no one believed them, until paranormal events occurred in Noelle's house due to the creature's influence, which made Asriel and the Holiday sisters believe them and accompany them to find it.
They search for days, in the cemetery, at the lake, but find nothing. Asriel and Noelle give up the search, but Kris and Dess persevere until they find it. They follow it, and Dess leaves a trail of breadcrumbs so they can find their way back if they get lost.
The two continued on their way until they found the first Dark Fountain and entered it, but that was the beginning of the tragedy.

Get ready, here comes the crazy part:
I think Kris and Dess got caught up in the events of the “Earthbound: Halloween Hack”, or rather, they entered a Dark World based on it, with new characters based on Varik and Dr. Andonuts.
Let’s remember that Toby likes to use old elements from his previous games and hacks to reboot and create new things, so this could be the case here.
In the Hack's story, Varik is a bounty hunter hired to investigate the murder of a young girl’s parents. His mission is to take down the monster.
Varik, with the help of a PLAYER, they do so and discover the culprit is a crazy Dr. Andonuts, who lost his sanity after losing Jeff and his friends. He was responsible for creating and unleashing various monsters to kill everyone.
Confronting him, both end up entering the doctor's mind through a machine, a Magicant (similar to a Dark World), and there they witness the doctor's entire history. His past and his descent into madness.
At the end of the story, Varik and the PLAYER have no other choice but to kill the doctor.
Now, there's another game that Toby made called "peepee.exe", where there's a small part of the story that continues this thing between Varik and the Doctor.
I'm going to include some of the dialogue so you can understand:

Getting back, my point is: Kris and Dess entered this Dark World based on all of this and something terrible happened. This resulted in Dess being trapped inside, the human probably sacrificing to seal the Dark Fountain, Kris ending with the SOUL like this, and everything else that happened with Asgore (who probably followed the children using the breadcrumbs or was alerted by Kris).
That's why I think the person Kris has been trying to remember is perhaps a new character based on Varik or Dr. Andonuts.

This is the craziest thing I've ever come up with, but there you’ve it.
