Underdawn: Chapter Seven

The group finished dinner and Toriel tucked them all in, leaving the last slicce of pie in case anyone got hungry in the middle of the night. Toriel shut the door quietly and went to her room for the night as well, Asgore was already long asleep.

“You guys aren’t asleep, are you?” Asriel whispered.

“Nope, and I don’t plan on sleeping for a while,”Chara quietly answered,”Frisk are you awake?”

Frisk had opted to lie on the floor after Asriel offered them both his bed, Asriel slept beside them to keep them company as he suspected Frisk was anxious about everything that happened today.

Asriel nudged Frisk,”Frisk, are you awake?”

Asriel and Chara both got up and leaned over Frisk, checking to see if they they were dead.

“Well,” Chara noted,”Frisk is actually asleep, that is kind of stranger than not being asleep.”

“So, what are we gonna do first?” Asriel asked,”Other than potentially wake Frisk up.”

“Well I kind of hoped that everyone would be awake for this but one person is close enough. It’s time that I explain myself and Frisk.” Chara uttered.

“Can I ask one question before you start though?” Asriel mumbled.

“What is it you want to know?”

“Are you two really humans?”

“Yes, we are from the surface.”

“Is it really nice up there like people say it is?”

“Well,” Chara stuttered, If I tell him how great the surface is he’ll want to go there and save all monsters and this journey will have been useless, but if I lie he may find another motive based off my response, I don’t know what to say other than the truth... ”the surface is beautiful, and the creatures that inhabit it are quite wonderful, but the humans aren’t.”

“Why’s that?”

“Humans... are... complicated. No two are exactly alike because everyone is made unique. Asriel, if you ever go to the surface you will most likely die. Humans would fear for their lives and would kill you in self defense even if you did nothing to provoke it, so please stay in the underground with me for as long as we live because you’re safe here, safe with me.”

Asriel didn’t respond and Frisk kept their eyes shut tightly, restraining themselves from asking the burning question in their mind.

“I’m going to sleep, goodnight.” Chara stated.

“What, but what about explaining yourself?”

“I’d rather do it when both you and Frisk are awake, I don’t want to have to explain twice.”

Frisk thought to themself, But I am awake, can’t you tell by how much noise you made, ugh, I’d rather get sleep before you explain this though because it’ll probably take a day to get me to believe you after this mess you’ve made.

“Goodnight I guess,” Asriel climbed back into his makeshift bed and stared at the ceiling before closing their eyes.

Underdawn: Chapter Six

Toriel entered the kitchen where Asgore was eating a slice of pie.

“Sneaking a slice of pie meant for our guests?” Toriel remarked.

“Do you believe three children would care if I had one slice of your delicious pie?” Asgore replied with a smile of his face.

“I guess they won’t eat all the pie,” Toriel said as she took Asgore’s dirty plate and placed it into the sink,”but what are we going to do with the two human children, what’s going to happen to them after they leave to find a way out of the underground only to find none?” Toriel anxiously questioned Asgore.

“We can raise them as our own in the underground,” Asgore replied.

“Raise humans in the underground? Do you forget what humans are capable of?” Toriel snapped back at Asgore.

“I know well what humans can do, but this is the only option available at the moment. I am not saying we have to keep the humans in our care forever, only as long as is necessary for monsters and humans to rekindle a lost friendship.”

“Lost friendship?! Asgore, if one of the humans turns on monsters then our son may turn as well or may get killed, do you really want to take such a risk?”

“If you lost your child and knew another family abandoned them so as not to risk the safety of their own selves would you be fond of that family?”

Toriel stayed silent.

“I am thinking about the future Toriel, and taking in these children is the best thing we can do for everyone, so please Tori, give it a chance and if anything happens that makes you decide that we should get rid of the children, then I will not argue with you.”

“Ok Gorey,” Toriel responded as she leaned in to nuzzle Asgore,”I love you.”

“I love you to,” Asgore nuzzled Toriel and then left the kitchen to talk to the children about their future.

Underdawn: Chapter Five

Chara and Frisk made their way back to the ruins and Frisk met the Dreemurrs, Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel. The family was about to have dinner and let Chara and Frisk join them, Frisk hasn’t said a word since meeting the Dreemurrs.

“Are your wounds better Frisk, Chara told me you were unconscious after the fall, does your head hurt?” Toriel asked while serving a slice of butterscotch cinnamon pie.

“I’m fine.” Frisk responded meekly, trying to avoid eye contact with Toriel.

“All right,” Toriel responded with a ting of worry in her voice,”if you need anything just tell me or Asgore.”

Frisk nodded while staring at the pie. Toriel left the dining room and went into the kitchen with Asgore.

“Those are your parents?” Frisk immediately asked when Toriel exited.

“Obviously! Can’t you tell by how much we look alike?” Chara responded as sarcastically as possible while eating pie,”but yes, they are my parents.”

“But you’re not related to me?” Asriel questioned as he sat opposite of Frisk. Asriel had a million questions he wanted to ask Chara, Who are you, How do you know all these things, What was that talk about earlier, Who is Frisk, but Chara just looked at Asriel without saying a word.

“Uhhh.....” Asriel didn’t know what Chara was thinking, but figured it be best to just stay silent. Asriel nervously ate his pie with Chara staring him down until Frisk spoke up,”Your mom makes good pie, it tastes... nostalgic.”

“Yeah, it’s the best food in the world after chocolate,” Chara finally stopped staring at Asriel and shifted focus to Frisk. Asriel let out a sigh of relief and the group continued to eat their pie, slowing finishing the whole pie.

Underdawn: Chapter Four

The mysterious figure gets closer and Frisk clutches their stick closely as they prepare to ambush them.

“Hello? Is anybody there? Frisk?” the figure yells into the darkness hoping for a response.

“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Frisk charges at the figure with their stick and trips right at their feet scraping both their knees in the process.

“Frisk what are you doing?” Frisk meets Chara’s eyes and is relieved to see that their is no threat.

“I was looking for you,” Frisk responds meekly, “I saw you jump down but I thought you may have left me to fend for myself down here.” Chara then told Frisk with a reassuring gaze,“ Frisk I only left you because I knew there was no danger, it’s the first area of the Undergound, what possible threat could there be ESPECIALLY when Flowey doesn’t even exist.”

“How do you know all of this? Do you live here?”Frisk sat up so Chara would stop looking down at them, which in this light makes even a gentle smile creepy.

Chara then sat beside Frisk, “I live here. So Frisk, do you know where we are?”

“We’re in the Underground ruins, you just told me that.”

A thought entered Chara’s mind as they questioned Frisk further, “Do you know who’s the caretaker of the ruins?”

“Is it you?”

Chara’s suspicions were finally confirmed, Frisk doesn’t remember anything at all. Chara then responded, “Maybe in another world, but here it’s Toriel.”

“Is she your mother?”

Chara gets up and then answers, “Frisk, all I can say now is that things will be confusing, but don’t worry about any of it because as long as you’re with me nothing bad will happen.”

“Ok?” Frisk listens to Chara seeing as they seem to know a lot about this place and the people that live here.

“Just pretend like you know absolutely nothing and it’ll all be fine.” Chara began to walk towards the entrance of the ruins.

“BUT I DO KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?!” Frisk scrambles to get up and follow Chara through.

Underdawn: Chapter Three

“Hello? Is anyone there? Chara?” Frisk had finally woken up only to find no one else around. They stood up and gazed at the hole they had fallen down and wandered over to stand in the sunlight.

What happened? Also where am I, it looks like a cave but it’s got pillars in it, is it an abandoned monument? I need to find a way out of here before I starve to death.

Frisk found the stick that they had snapped off and placed a bandage on their cheek where a cut had shown itself, “Alright, since climbing isn’t an option let’s see if there is a way out up ahead.”

Frisk began cautiously pacing forward. Sounds were coming from a structure nearby and Frisk made a large effort to not make any noise and sneak past the building, knowing that the sounds weren’t from humans.

The door flings open and Frisk darts behind a rock to avoid being spotted, they cover their mouth to minimize noise.

Frisk hears the footsteps getting closer, and closing their eyes as a figure wanders towards them.

Underdawn: Chapter Two

“Are you ok?” A familiar voice asks.

“Frisk... is Frisk ok?” Chara looks around until they see Asriel, kneeling beside them. Chara’s eyes immediately darts away from Asriel’s, searching for Frisk. Asriel is that really you?

Asriel looks behind himself and responds, “ Your friend is... unconscious, but other wise they’re fine, but are you ok?”

Chara, relieved, answers,“Yea, I’m alright,” Chara begins to sit up, but stops halfway. “Ow ow ow, ok, I’m not fine.”

“What hurts?”

“My leg, I think it’s broken.” Chara lies back down.

“I’ll take you both to my mom, she can heal you. I’ll help you get there and we can bring your friend later.” Asriel extends his paw and helps Chara up.

“Thanks Asriel.” Chara begins to hop with Asriel’s paw around their waist, maintaining their balance as they journey home.

“How do you know my name?” Asriel responded as they helped Chara home.

“I couldn’t forget my best friend’s name.”

“Who are you?” Asriel cautiously asked.

“It’s me, your best friend, Chara,” a genuine smile appeared on Chara’s face as they stared at Asriel.

“Ok?” They must’ve hit their head really hard, I’ve never seen this person before but how do they know my name? A lucky guess?

“I’ll explain everything later, but for now,” Chara and Asriel stopped and Chara hugged Asriel,”just trust me, ok?”

“Ok Chara,” Asriel said as they smiled at Chara. “Oh, we’re almost there, just a little further.”

“I know,” a tear left Chara’s eye, Asriel, you have no idea what I’ve been through just for this moment.

Asriel let go of Chara as Chara wiped their eye and they began moving home again.

Underdawn: Chapter One

“AHHHHHH” Light blinds Chara as they fall into the star. “FRISK!”

“CHARA!” Frisk responds while being sucked in with Chara. The light starts to die down and both fall onto grass.

“Hehe, haha,” Chara chuckled to themselves while tears started forming,”Well at least you’re still alive.”

Frisk gave no response, but looked toward the sunrise while standing atop the mountain.

“Frisk?” Chara questioned as they stood up and reached out a hand for Frisk’s shoulder. “Are you ok?”

Frisk turned around, eyes open and staring at Chara blankly. “Where am I?”

Chara gives a sigh and says,”You’re on Mt. Ebott, don’t scare me like that ok? Ha, that was a pretty funny though, I thought you lost you memories or something.”

Frisk kept staring at Chara, yet their face was growing more nervous by the second as their eyes got smaller and smaller. “Umm, I have another question.”

“Shoot away.” Chara put their arm around Frisk and stared into the sunset.

Frisk nudged Chara’s arm off and backed up from Chara. They were beginning to take a defensive stance as they fearfully looked at Chara, who had a great big smile on their face. “What’s your name?”

“Frisk it’s not funny anymore. Cut. It. Out. Now.” Chara started to approach Frisk with an even bigger grin that struck fear into Frisk.

Frisk cautiously backpedalled, tripping over a vine and falling onto their back. Chara didn’t halt their advance, so neither did Frisk. Frisk started crawling away from Chara, who’s smile was starting to fade and their eyes got wide.

“FRISK!”

Frisk, even more terrified now, jumped back and fell into a massive hole. Tumbling down Frisk managed to grab hold of a stray branch that began to crack under the pressure.

“Frisk!” Chara extended their hand, and Frisk stared at them hesitantly. “That branch won’t hold you! Please! Grab my hand!”

“CRACK!” The branch broke and Frisk dropped into the underground.

“FRISK!” Chara leapt in after them.

Underdawn: Prologue

Asriel breaks the barrier with the human souls and all monsters see sunlight enter the underground. Monsters head towards the sunlight while Frisk remains looking where Asriel once stood.

Chara then speaks up,”I’ve told you already, you can’t save us. We were doomed to this the moment Asriel absorbed my soul. It’s pointless. Even if you try again what is their left to find? You’ve already made every choice you can, so just give up. Have the happy ending we couldn’t.”

Frisk looks at their save file and contemplates what Chara said. They move their hand towards the reset button, and pause right before contact is made.

“You really think it’s impossible?”

“Well yeah, there’s nothing left for you to do.”

“Then what about you?”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ve had my soul for a while now, why don’t you try resetting, resetting to when you fell down.”

“That’s stupid. It’s you’re soul Frisk, you’re save points are what it remembers, not mine. It’ll just get reset to the beginning again.”

“You could reset when you were alive, you had a save point at least, so it should work since you’re in control of it!”

“It won’t work.”

“Worst thing that’ll happen though is that we get to make friends with everyone again. It won’t hurt to try.”

“I guess I can try to reset for myself, instead of for you, but what if it works Frisk.”

“Then you’ll be able to stop yourself from dying and be able to live with Asriel again.”

“That’s not what I mean. It’s your soul Frisk, not mine. If I reset to my time, something will happen to you. You weren’t alive that long ago, you might die. And if Asriel and I don’t die, you might never exist! Are you really willing to risk your own life for a dead child and his friend?”

“When you both died, the entire underground lost hope, and it took war to inspire the monsters again. It’s not just about you, it’s about everyone.”

“Well, goodbye Frisk.” Chara hugs Frisk and starts tearing up with a smile on their face.

“Goodbye Chara. I’m glad I had you with me on this journey.”

“I don’t want to let go.” Chara’s tears start streaming down their rosy cheeks as they hold Frisk closer.

“Me either, but I’m going to anyways, it’s the last choice I want to make.” Frisk tears up and lets go of Chara, and Chara reluctantly let’s go and wipes the tears from their eyes. “Bye Chara.”

“Bye Frisk.” Chara pushes the reset button Frisk is standing next to and there’s a flash of white light that engulfs the entire underground, and at it’s center is a twinkling yellow star.
