Celestia burst into the medical ward shocking the doctor as she ran to him. "Prepare a bed, this child is injured." She said quickly.

The doctor hesitated for a moment before turning and leading them to a room where Celestia used her magic to set the child on the bed. The doctor slowly approached the child and looked them over. "Princess, what are they?" He ashed confused.

"Does it matter? They are injured and I intend to help." Celestia said as she eyed the doctor.

"I'm sorry princess but I won't just help this...thing." The doctor said as he eyed the child with repulsion. "If you want my opinion then I would say throw it back where you found it and leave it to die."

"Is that so?" Celestia asked her tone darkening. "And tell me, why should I do that?"

"Because it is not a pony simply some repulsive creature." The doctor said not noticing Celestias tone or actions. "If you would like I can dispose of this thing." He said as he walked over to the child only for a golden aura to envelop him and spin him to face Celestia causing the stallions eyes to widened in fear.

Celestia glared down at the stallion her mane and tail ablaze as she eyed him. "Let me make this clear Doctor, it doesn't matter if your patent is a Griffon, Minotaur, Pony or Monster of the Everfree you will treat each patient with respect and tend to them no matter what." Celestia said her voice so cold it would have frozen Tartarus. "If I find you ever pull another stunt like this again, and I will find out, I will throw you into the sun understand?" She asked as the door burst open and Luna ran in panicked.

"Sister what's wrong!?" She yelled in panic as she ran over and began to look over Celestia.

"Luna, calm down, I'm fine!" Celestia said as she set the doctor down and eyed him.

"We were awoken by a guard telling us you were in the medical ward and you requested me!" Luna said angrily. "If this is one of your pranks-"

"LUNA!" Celestia yelled causing her sister to stop and look at her. "I am fine but this child is not." She said as she pointed to them.

Luna turned and saw the child. "What happened to them?" She asked as she walked over to them and looked them over. "Several broken ribs, broken arm. Some internal bruising but no bleeding, that's good. Doctor use a tier two healing spell."

"You can't be serious!" The Doctor exclaimed. "This thing is a simple beast! You can't expect me to heal this filth!"

Lunas eyes narrowed before she slammed her hoof into the doctors face knocking him through the wall. "Racist bigot." She said as she turned to the child and lit her horn and a azure glow surrounded the child mending their wounds. As the glow faded the child gasped as they shot into a sitting position holding her chest.


Pain, that was Chara felt as darkness and even then the pain wouldn't leave, images flashed around her as the pain grew more intense. She saw her brother crying as he held her hand, a village full of hate and cruelty, her brother turning to dust. She then saw darkness that changed as a human fell and began to commit genocide after genocide upon her friends and loved ones, Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, Mettaton, Muffet, Sans and Asgore. She saw the one responsible, the PLAYER who controlled the child she watched over, she watched the player laugh as strings wrapped around her making her their puppet. She fought those strings as she slayed her family, her friends and destroyed timelines. She watched as she took her True Knife and cut those strings before falling into the Void and landing on flowers. She saw a white pony with wings and a horn approach her and say something as she reached out and was consumed by the darkness.

Suddenly a bright glow filled her with warmth and happiness but more importantly it filled her with DETERMINATION. Chara gasped as she shot into a sitting position holding her chest as as if her soul was about to be ripped out.

"Are you alright child?" A blue pony with wings and a horn asked.

"Who are you and where am I? This isn't the Underground." Chara asked confused.

"I am Princess Celestia and this is my sister Princess Luna." The white pony said as she approached the bed. "As for this Underground that you spoke of, no your in our kingdom a place called Equestria. Where is this place thou speak of?"

"It is under a mountain called called Mt. Ebott." Chara said as she rubbed her eyes.

Suddenly Celestia and Luna were glaring angrily at the child as they lit their horns and aimed it at her. "You will return to your prison and never leave again foul demon." Celestia said.

“Why are you mad at monsters!? They've done nothing to your kind!" Chara yelled as she glared at the two rulers. "Damn it your just like the humans!"

Celestia frowned. “You monsters would consume the souls of my ponies to become gods! I cannot allow such creatures to live among my little ponies.”

Chara stared at Celestia in shock before she rose from the bed glaring at the ponies. “Excuse me but have you actually met any monsters? She asked. “Monsters are literally made up of positive emotions and magic, it’s hard for one to hold a grudge, let alone want to commit genocide for power especially against a race that has done nothing to them.”

Celestia nodded. "That maybe but Monsters are still made of magic, which my ponies need to survive.”

"I am a Human that fell into the Underground and was adopted by the Monster Royal Family, I was loved and cared for even though I was of the same species that imprisoned them. Do you know why that is?" Chara asked. “It's because monsters are not like that.”

Celestia sighed “You misunderstand what I'm saying child. What I'm saying is that if the monster population were to grow the magic we ponies need to survive would dwindle until we died out.”

Chara stared at Celestia for a moment before busting out laughing. “That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard!” She said as she fell to the floor laughing as tears ran down her face. After several moments of laughing Chara calmed down enough to sit up and look at the princesses. “Seriously, who told you that bullshit? The world would adapt to the strain of monsters using magic to grow again and eventually there would be enough for us and your ponies to survive, if anything else we’d end up with more.”

“Twas the humans told us that, those fiends!" Luna growled in anger. "It seems they deceived us into seeing enemies where there were none."

Celestia nodded “If we can help in any way then we will do all in our power to aid you.”

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself!" Chara said before bowing. "Greetings I am Chara Dreemurr, Princess of the Underground. "As for the offer all I want is to return home and see my family again." Chara said before her eyes widened. "Oh no I have to hurry!" She said panicked.

"Is something wrong child." Luna said with a smile.

"With me no longer acting as mediator they finally have full control!" Chara said panicking at the thought. "I have to get to Mt. Ebott as fast as possible it may be a matter of life and death!"

Both Princesses looked at each other before Luna nodded. "We will prepare a chariot and leave immediately." She said as they turned and left the Medical wing.

"If I may ask what is wrong Princess Dreemurr?" Celestia asked as the group quickly walked down the hall toward the castles stable.

"A human with a Red Soul is going to slaughter all monsters soon, I have to stop them." Chara said.

"How do you know this and what do you mean by Red Soul?"" Luna asked.

"Because I was the only thing Holding them back with out me they can succeed." Chara said. "as for the Red soul that is harder to explain." She said as they exited the castle and emerged onto what looked like a runway.

"Prepare the fastest guards we have and chariot for departure." Celestia said as she turned to one of the guards present. The guard saluted and ran off. Celestia turned to Chara "It's best if you explain from the beginning."

Chara nodded hesitantly. "I guess it's time I tell this story." She said with a sigh. "A very, very long time ago, a broken child fell down Mt. Ebott and made a promise. The child promised their best friend that they would save all the Monsters, together. To do this one friend had to die so they found a field of buttercups and with that the two children started their Game, one that the King and Queen knew nothing of.

The Child died but lived again in their best friend, they would become a god and save the world. They would punish humanity for what they did but they failed and the child stopped existing, becoming only an awful thought as they both turned to dust. That is, till someone remembered their name.

The game began anew but the player didn't want to play by the rules. With knife in hand they played the part of the fool. Even when the child gave them advice they still chose Genocide till nothing was left. That was when they RESET and did it again, over and over, Genocide after Genocide, the child stopped them every time from continuing. Then one day the Player changed and the child became the Puppet forced to fight and kill, but the Child Refused and broke free only to be reborn and saved."

"And now the child returns to fight this player one last time." Luna said sadly. "How long has this been happening? How long have you been trapped in this endless cycle!?"

Chara shrugged. "I lost track. We hit the end so many times only to be sent back." Chara turned away from the princesses and looked up at the sky. "This is all finally new, we're moving forward. But I'm tired, so very tired." Chara sighed and turned back to the princesses only to be embraced by Celestia as she wrapped her wings around her.

"We'll help you." she said to Chara. "We'll free them and end this horrible cycle." Chara hesitate but slowly returned the hug.

"Thank you." She said as Luna walked forward and embraced her as well. After am moment the chariot appeared with two guards pulling it and the trio boarded it.

"Head for Mt. Ebott as fast as you can." Celestia said. The guards launched forward and the chariot lifted off.
