Chapter 5 - First days Part one -Survivors and Charas Promise

Chara groaned as she read though the test before looking up the teacher in disappointment. "You sir are testing my patience." She said crossly.

"Is their a problem?" The mare asked cockily.

Chara sighed and turned to Celestia. "Please tell me this is some elaborate joke, it has to be!" She said.

Celestia curiously went and looked over the test and frowned. "No, this test is the most difficult I've ever seen actually." She said before turning to the teacher. "This was meant to be an evaluation test, I assume you mixed them up?"

The mare shook her head. "As Administrator I can give any test I see fit. This creature dares to claim that it is more intelligent than a pony I will show it just how wrong it is. Ponies are superior to all creatures!" She said confidently

Chara chuckled. "You know that if you want me to embarrass then all you ha to do is ask." She said as she took the test out of Celestias magic and picked up the pencil spinning it in her fingers before beginning to work after ten minutes she walked up to the mare and turned the test in. "Here." She said with a smirk.

The mare took the test and exited the room as Celestia stared at Chara surprised. "Was it really so easy?" She asked.

"I created a Antimatter generator when I was six." Chara said in a deadpanned voice. "An antimatter generator requiters one to solve an equation that combined quantum theory and special relativity to describe the behavior of an electron moving at a relativistic speed. Do you honestly expect me to fail a test given by a board of education?" She asked angrily. "There was only two people who were smarter than me and that was Dr. Wingdings Gaster, my mentor and his son Sans Serif. When you consider that these guys are a complete joke." She said as the mare entered a shocked look on her face.

"Well, how did Chara do?" Celestia asked.

"I don’t know where you found this creature but out of two hundred questions it got every one of them right. This is impossible, Only three pony has ever shown this level of intelligence!"

"And who were they?" Celestia asked.

"Your mother, father and Master Starswirl." The mare said. "They were the ones to design this test actually as a way to challenge themselves."

"Well, with this taken care of I actually need to go somewhere for a bit and them I'll be heading to the library to do some research on the location of Dr. Gasters old lab." Chara said as she got up and began to walk out.

"And just where are you going?" Celestia asked curiously.

"There is something I need to do and I've been putting it off." Chara said sadly.

"Do you need someone to take you?" Celestia asked.

Chara shook her head. "Nah, I know a short cut." She said as she walked forward and vanished.

A blue wisp appeared in a golden corridor and Chara walked out. Chara looked around sadly before seeing the blue jacket and red scarf laying beside each other. Chara slowly walked over to them and falling to her knees as tears began to prick her eyes. "Hey Sans, Pappy, it's me Chara. Sorry I didn't get here in time. I stopped them and even opened the barrier. I... I saw Gaster, he's still in the void but he said there may be a way to save everyone. Heh, even when he can't be here he's still helping." Chara slowly reached out and picked up the jacket and scarf, tears falling from here eyes as she hugged them to her chest. "I'm so sorry." She said as he cried into the clothes. After a while she wiped her eyes and stood pulling the jacket on and then wrapping the scarf around her neck.

"I'll fix this, I promise." She said as she turned and walked down the corridor and reaching the elevator pressed the call button. The elevator opened and she walked into is pressing the first floor button. Calmly she waited for the elevator to stop, once it did she calmly walked out the door and entered Hotland. She walked sadly through the volcanic area stopping only to look out at the core and remember old memories.

Chara sighed and continued down the path and continued into Waterfall and calmly walk down the path til she reached a bridge with armor laying around. "Hey guppy, been a while." She said sadly staring at the armor. "You missed it, Sans actually did his job. He gave the kid a bad time. There is a way to undo all this, I don't actually have all the information but I'm looking into it. I'll fix this I promise." She said sadly as she continued down the path.

Chara continued down the path and reached the snowy parts on the out side of Snowdin. Calmly she walked making extra sure she wasn't stepping on any dust as she walked. At last she reached the place where the fight with Papyrus happened she didn't stop her and continued into the deserted town. It's here she stopped and entered one of the buildings and walked to the bar and having a seat on one of the stools and grabbing a bottle of ketchup. "To you Sans." She said as she opened the bottle threw the bottle back chugging it. As it ran dry she slammed it onto the counter and simply sat there. That was all she did for a while, she simply sat in silence. As she sat their the sound of the door opening drew her attention but she didn't move as someone calmly walked toward her. It didn't sound like the hoof steps of a pony more like the steps of a gentleman in dress shoes.

"You know we're closed right?" a crackling voice asked. "Seriously Sans what the hell are you doing here?" Chara said nothing she simply sat there. "Sans?" The voice asked concerned.

Chara slowly turned and faced to voice. "Sorry Grilbs, Sans didn't make it." Chara said causing the fire elemental to backup quickly. "Hey Grillby Remember me?" She asked as she looked at the monster, tears falling down her face.

"Princess, but you died!" Grillby asked shocked.

"I came back somehow, I don't know." She said sadly as she turned back to the bar. "Hey Grilbs, mind getting me another one?" She asked as she raise the bottle."

Grillby hesitated for a moment before sighing. "Your as bad as Sans but I guess one drink won't hurt." He sighed as he walked over and got behind the bar and pulled out a bottle. Calmly h slid it to Chara who picked it up and slammed it back.

"Barriers broken and the humans are gone." Chara said. "The worlds now populated by techno color talking ponies that can use magic."

"Really?" Grillby asked as he looked at Chara who simply nodded. Grillby sighed and picked up a glass and rag that he began to clean. "Well, at this point I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

Chara chuckled. "Yeah, it's weird but aside from being rude and racist to any other species they are perhaps the most peaceful race I've seen aside from Monsters."

"Got anything else to throw on this old monster princess?" He asked.

"I revived Asriel with DT, we were adopted by the ponies royal family and we thought that that demon killed everyone." Chara said.

"Not everyone but almost." Grillby said. "Aside from me, Napstablook and River Person survived but everyone else was killed. There may be some survivors out their but if there are them they've probable already fallen down on their own do to loosing their Hope."

Chara sighed. "Well... wanna come to the surface with me?" She asked.

Grillby was quiet for a while before he set down his rag and the glass. "And just what would I do?" He asked as he leaned on the bar.

Char shrugged. "I have a lead on a possible way to save all monsters that fell down and I'm looking for more information so I can follow it. You could help me or open another bar on the surface. Napstablook could finally become a DJ and River Person could travel the world and explore."

Grillby thought for a moment before sighing and nodding. "I'll go." He said.

Chara smiled. "Thanks, I was going to the Ruins before I left for the surface but since the river Persons still around we should take their boat."

Grillby nodded. "I'll go to Waterfall and get Napstablook." Chara smiled and got off the bar stool and walked to the door. "Chara." Grillby called out to the child causing her to turn as she reached the door. "How did you really come back?" He asked. "We both know Humans don't return from death and if you think for a moment that 'Idon't know' bull will work on anyone who knows you then are crazy."

"When did I ever say I was a Human?" Chara asked as she summoned her soul for a moment before exiting the bar. As she stepped out into the cool air of Snowdin she pulled the hood of Sans's Jacket over her head and walked for the Ruins.
