Chara sat in a chair that looked out the window where she always stood. Beside her stood Asriel who had taken to staying at her side till she had recovered. It had been a week since the incident that had been named 'The Forest Glade incident'. The official report given to the kingdom and ponies was that a griffon slaver as well as several mercenaries had captured a phoenix and attacked Chara when she ordered its release, while that was true it was only part of the story with the rest buried for the safety of the kingdom. No one could know what Chara did or what she was capable of.
Due to what had happened Asriel requested that the title of prince and princess be altered for he and his sibling. The two while receiving the same authority and rights as a prince and princess would have they were instead given the titles of Lord Commander of the Military. This meant that Chara and Asriel would act as the highest authority of the Royal Guard, Naval force and Air force. With this new authority Chara and Asriel would be able to act as they saw fit to command the Military forces as well as hold equal authority to the princesses in politics. The difference in this arrangement was that while they still held the position and power of a prince and princess they did not to maintain a ruling court. Once Chara was fully recovered she and Asriel were to be fully-sworn into their position and take an oath of service.
Chara sighed and leaned forward to get up from the chair only for Asriel placed a hand on her shoulder and pushed her back down. "Don't even think about it Chara." He said sternly.
Chara sighed and relaxed again. "What's with you Azzy?" She asked concerned. "You act as if I'm going to... oh." She said as she looked down ashamed.
Asriel looked out the window a distant look in his eyes. "I suppose I've become a bit over protective but you honestly can't blame me can you?" He asked as he turned and looked at Chara with narrowed eyes.
"Not my brightest moment." Chara said with a chuckle. "Turns out buttercups are one of the worst ways to go out." Chara said as she rubbed her neck sheepishly.
Asriel grunted and returned to watching the forest outside the window before stopping and rubbing his eyes and looking out again. "Hey Chara, please tell me that's a flock of pigeons and not what I think it is." He said.
Chara squinted. "Well they could be pigeons but I thing those are Griffons." She said calmly before her eyes widened. "Oh fuck they're Griffons!" She exclaimed before rising quickly and gasping as Asriel caught her from falling over. "Screw this shit." She said as her eyes glowed green as her magic sealed up the wounds and healed them.
"You shouldn't do that Chara." Asriel said angrily. " It weakens your immunity to disease not to mention the effects that healing magic has on the affected body."
"Yell at me for recklessness later Azzy but we're in charge of the Guard now thanks to your plan and as long as I live I will fight to protect my home. I did it for the Underground and I'll be damned if I don't do it here." Chara said her eyes glowing red. Suddenly a flash appeared before the siblings and when they could see again a small golden star floated in the center of their room.
Asriel stared in surprise at it before turning to Chara. "It that what I think it is?" He asked.
Chara slowly approached it and hesitantly reached out and touched it, as soon as he fingers reached it the Save screen popped up.
Chara Dreemurr
The first fallen child
LV1 HP 20/20
*SAVE LOAD ERASE
"A save point!" Chara gasped in surprise before seeing her LV. "Wait, how the hell do I still have an LV of one?! especial after what happened in the clearing!" She asked in a shocked voice.
The sound of explosions caused the castle to shake. "Worry about it later." Asriel said as he ran to the closet and opened it up and grab a set of armor and robes and changing into them. As he exited the closet he summoned his swords and smiled as he stood before Chara who had shifted to her Arbiter appearance. "Ready Chara?" He asked with a smile.
Chara summoned the True Knife and nodded. "Let's teach these slavers who they're messing with."She said as she approached the door but stopped before opening it and smiled.
"What's up?" Asriel asked before Chara kicked the door open and smiled as it slammed into three griffons who were crushed under it's weight.
"I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint!" Chara belted out live a drunk sailor.
Asriel groaned and face-palmed. "Can you be serious for like ten seconds?" He asked in an exasperated tone.
Chara laughed. "Come on brother, it was funny and your smiling." She said with a smirk.
"It's a pity smile!" He exclaimed. Chara simply laughed as she ran down the halls as she disappeared around a corner Asriel chuckled and looked at the crushed Griffons. "It was funny though." He muttered before running after his sister.
Chara smiled as she ran launching DT Blades at any griffons that she saw, as she neared the Courtyard however she slowed and began to calmly walk toward the sound of battle. As she entered she saw the Guards getting pumaled to death by the slavers, Chara sighed and ran forward several rings of blades made from determination appearing around her and she slammed into the Griffons lines with them spinning around her.
The griffons turned in panic to defend themselves but couldn't even raise their swords to defend as they were shredded by the red blades. In a matter of moments the only one left standing was Chara, red blades of Determination floating around her. Chara turned to the Guards and eyed them with the look of a drill sargent who was gazing upon a distinctly pathetic cadet. Several guards gulped in fear. "Were it not for the fact that we are presently under attack I'd grind you maggots into the dust but seeing as we are presently being invaded I'll ignore it..." She said pausing long enough to let several of the guards sigh in relief before continuing. "for now, but when this is done I am going to whip your asses into shape." She said causing them to go white.
Asriel ran into the courtyard and looked around before sighing and walking over to Chara. "I saw what looked like the griffon King heading for the throne room."
Chara nodded. "Looks like we'll need a short cut." She said. Asriel nodded and Chara snapped her fingers, the two disappearing in a flash of blue.
The guards stood in there place for a moment before sighing. "We're fucked." one of them said.
"Hey look at the bright side, whoever is in charge of this attack will be getting the full force of the Commanders wrath while we'll be getting the pent up frustration she'll have that we fucked up." Another guard said. The others grumbled an agreement, they may be punished but at least this time Charas wrath wouldn't be directed at them.
"Ya know, it makes you almost feel bad for them." Another guard said. This time everyone nodded.
King Red Baron was a griffon of opportunity, He captured weakling races, broke them through means of rape and torture and sold them to the highest bidder. Most called him a slaver but he preferred the term Merchant. Recently he had been approached by an...odd costumer who wanted a very special slave and was willing to pay a small fortune for them with the only restriction was that they must be alive. The King smiled, the fact that it was the ape that the Princesses of the ponies had adopted only made the job easier, ponies were week and pathetic. Maybe her would take the princesses as his own personal 'pets'. Suddenly the king and all the guards fell to the ground small blue heart shaped things hovered over them. The guards and king tried to rise but it was as off they had a Minotaur on their backs. A quiet chuckle was heard drawing their attention to two figures who stepped out from behind two of the columns in the room and walked toward the middle.
The one on the left was the ape they had been sent to find, they wore a pair of brown pants with red boots tucked in, a white shirt under a green hoodie jacket with a odd winged symbol on the shoulders. She had her hair cut short but it was her eyes and the blade they held that made the King flinch. Her eyes were as red as blood and they glowed giving off a whips of red magic, in the creatures hand was a blade that looked to be made from blood.
On the right stood a tall imposing creature that looked like a bipedal goat with white fur and odd black markings. He wore purple robes with armored shoulder-pads and a chest-plate that had that odd symbol on it. In his hands were twin swords that glowed white.
"Well, you've been busy huh?" The girl said calmly as she approached them.
"What is this, some form of Magic?" The King asked angrily though his eyes showed fear. "Release me now and I may spare the rest of this kingdom after all you are who I was sent for."
"Oh, and who was it that sent you to capture me?" Chara asked.
"white figure with no features." The king said as she shrugged his shoulders dismissively.
Chara froze something about that creature sounded... familiar. Suddenly Chara grabbed her head and screamed in pain as a memory was pulled to the front of her mind of a white figure with no features except a smile on it's face stood before her speaking. "-tely your not the one in control." The figure said as it approached and hundreds of strings shot out from the darkness wrapping around her. Chara fell tom her knees and screamed before her eyes opened glowing red. "You work for the PLAYER." She said hate dripping from her voice.
The King tilted his head. "That's then name he gave me." He said as he rose and looked at the girl. "Said something along the lines of "I want's my toy back"."
Chara grit her teeth and rose her eyes dull and life less. "I got a question for you." She said calmly, the king tilted his head confused. "Do you think even the worst person can change? that everyone can be a good person, if they just try?"
The King opened his moth but fell silent. "Here's a better question," The Asriel said calmly as he raised his sword and pointed it at the group. "Do you want to have a bad time?" He asked before both he and Chara opened their mouths.
"Because of you take another step forward, well, your not going to like what happens happens next." They said together. The king hesitated before steeling his nerves and walked forward with a smirk.
The two sighed. "Well sorry Celestia, Luna," Asriel said sadly.
"This is why we hate making promises." Chara finished as the world when dark.
Arbiter Chara and Reaper Asriel Block your path.
The King gasped in surprise as the world went dark and quickly drew a sword as he watched the two creatures. Chara and Asriel's heads were bowed and there eyes were closed.
"It's a beautiful day outside," Chara said calmly.
"The birds are singing, flowers are blooming." Asriel said.
"On days like this," Chara said with a sigh.
"people like you," Asriel said sadly.
Suddenly both the siblings looked up and their eyes snapped open Charas glowing red and Asriel glowing purple. "Should be burning in Hell." They said together as they raised their hands. Knives and swords launched forward in maze like pattern that the griffons had to weave through, once they made it through the attack several Gaster Basters appeared around them and fired forcing them to dodge again. One of the guards wasn't fast enough and as the blast hit him he screeched as he was disintegrated, not even ash remained.
As the attack ended Asriel smiled and a large skull appeared before them and began to inhale creating a vortex that pulled the remaining guards in before unleashing a beam at the king who barely dodged the attack by ducking under it. "What the fuck was that!" The king gasped out as he rose.
"Dr. G♋︎⬧︎⧫︎♏︎❒︎ created special weapons for us long ago, Chara was given the Determination Gaster Blaster while I was given the Hyper Goner." Asriel replied. The king gulped in fear before looking down and seeing four buttons.
FIGHT ACT ITEM MERCY
They king narrowed his eyes and hit the Act button and looked over the options
CHECK BEG
TAUNT PRAY
The King hit the check button and selected the option of checking Chara, as the King hit Charas name information appeared about her.
Arbiter Chara Dreemurr
HP: 20/20 AT: 99 DF: 99
The last Judge of the Underground, is filled with Determination.
The Demon who comes when People call their name. =)
The King shuddered and checking Asriels information.
Reaper Asriel Dreemurr
HP: 99 AT: 99 DF: 99
The Prince of the Underground, will not let you harm his sibling.
I Have stood at your side since the beginning, now fear the name of the Reaper.
"Huh, well that was informative." The king said as he looked up and narrowly dodged the knives aimed at him before jumping over the swords swung by Asriel. As he jumped backward Chara appeared in front of him with a smile.
Chara floated in front of the King as she turned his Soul blue and it appeared in front of his chest. "Never let your guard down." Chara said as she shot him backwards ricocheting off of knives that broke through the floor and ceiling before Asriel shot forward and thrust a sword into his chest pinning him to the wall. The King screeched in pain and hung there for a second before the blade faded and he fell to the floor, slowly he rose and let out a screech as his wings extended and he shot forward toward the two siblings. As he neared he swung his sword and Asriel raised his to block the strike sending sparks flying. The King swung furiously each strike paired or blocked by Asriel who smiled as he thrust his arm forward and a blast of rainbow lightning shoot out of his hand and ripped through the King. As the King flew back Chara teleport behind him and slammed her fist into his back her eyes glowing with orange magic and her fists covered in orange gauntlets that looked like claws. Chara spun around delivering kick and punches that caused shock-waves and shredded the Kings armor.
The King screeched in anger and swung his sword catching Charas cheek and leaving a shallow cut while he used his other talon to push her back, as he landed he stood between Chara and Asriel gasping for breath. "W-what in the name of Tartarus are you?" He gasped out his eyes wide in terror.
"I'm the Judge." Chara said her eyes glowing red and cyan.
"I am the Reaper." Asriel said his right eye glowing purple and the left a rainbow of color.
The King grit his beak and raise his sword in defiance. "This isn't over." He said angrily. "I'll return, with another army, a stronger army!" He screeched.
Chara smiled. "You made your choice them." She said calmly before she shot forward, her knife transforming into a rapier, the King swung his sword as she approached however Chara nimbly ducked under it and rose bringing blade up as an arc of steel death. The Griffon King froze for a moment, eyes wide in terror, before the blade fell from his hand and he fell backwards. Chara watched calmly as the light in the kings eyes faded. "Foolish King, it didn't have to be like this." She said sadly.
Asriel walked toward her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "He made his choice, we made ours." He said sadly. "Remember what father said, the choices and actions we make reflect who we are. We chose to use our power and skills to help as such we must face the actions of that choice." He said and he pulled her into a hug.
Chara nodded slowly as she returned the hug. "I wish the choices weren't so horrible." She said sadly.
"Come on we still have work to do and the griffons wont stop themselves." Asriel said as he turned and began to walk away. Chara simply stood there and Asriel stopped to turn to her. "Chara, you okay?" He asked concerned as he turned to her. Chara groaned and rubbed her forehead before falling forward. "Chara!" Asriel cried as he ran and grabbed her before she hit the floor.
Chara coughed and smiled up at Asriel. "Sorry bro, just give me a moment." She said.
"Chara you idiot!" Asriel yelled in anger. "You used too much magic, don't move just rest." He said as he lay her down. Suddenly the doors to the hall were blasted open and Luna and Celestia charged in only to stop and look around. The moment they spotted Asriel leaning over Chara they ran over and knelt over the two.
"What happened here?" Luna asked as she looked over Chara who weekly tried to bat her hoofs away.
Asriel eyed Chara angrily before turning to the princesses. "Chara is what you would call a glass canon." Asriel said calmly. "She is extremely powerful and skilled however that power comes with a price, when she uses her magic it puts a strain on her body. She can use her magic just fine but too much and it drains her body, it's something she had in common with a certain skeleton." He said as he looked at Chara with a hard look."
Chara scoffed. "So I tire easily, doesn't mean anything." She said as he moved to sit up only to struggle.
"Chara, why didn't you tell us this?" Celestia asked concerned.
"Cause normally it's a small problem." She said as she stood shakily. "I'm not some fragile child that has to be handled like a broken piece of fine china, I am a warrior, trained to fight and, if I must, lay down my life of the protection of the kingdom I serve." Chara said as she looked at the two princesses. "Besides it's not a problem unless I completely exhaust myself."
"If that's the case then you'd be fine right now." Asriel said as he crossed his arms. "Honestly the only time you were like this was when- Chara what have you done!" He screamed in anger. "That experiment lead to G♋︎⬧︎⧫︎♏︎❒︎ falling in to the Void, Sans lost almost all his HP from it and that machine is the reason you have this fucking problem!"
Chara flinched and looked away. "I did what I had to do Asriel." She said.
"We will discuss this later but for now we have other things to worry about." He said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Got that right." A voice said from the end of the hall. Everyone looked up in shock to see the army of griffons standing before them. "With the brat out of juice this will be much easier to capture her. "A griffon said calmly as he stepped forward only to be eviscerated by a bolt of rainbow lightning.
Asriel took a deep breath and lowered his hand. "I can't do that much more Celestia, we need to fall back or something."
Celestia shook her head. "I'm out of magic myself, Luna?" Luna shook her head as well, Celestia sighed. "Well looks like were going down fighting." She said as she summoned a halberd and Luna raised her swords. The Griffons smiled and stepped forward only for a small flame that would belong to a candle to flicker to life between the two groups. The two groups stared in surprise as the flame flickered and began to grow into a human like figure that rose out of the ground.
The figure wore black dress shoes, black trousers, a white dress shirt with a black tie and overcoat. The figure stood calmly before the griffons and stared at them before he pulled what looked like the hilt of a sword from his pocket. The hilt was made from what looked like obsidian and was ornately carved. The figure flicked his wrist and the carvings glowed with orange and a blade of fire shot out, calmly he rose the blade and pointed it at the griffons.
"As amusing as this has been to see you chickens play at solders I've grown weary of this." Grillby said as he raised his sword and set it on his shoulder.
"The flames of Hell are calling, looks like it's time for you to join them." He said as he swung his sword and released a wave of fire at the griffons. The griffons panicked and tried to scatter but were too uncoordinated, they slammed into each other and the walls before the wave of fire consumed them. Grillby then charged forward and swung his sword at the nearest griffon chopping on the wings before driving it into the griffons chest. "You know I always preferred chicken breast over the wings, more meat on it." He said calmly as as the sword engulfed the griffon in fire turning him to ash, calmly he turned to the other griffons who readied their weapons and charged.
Grillby sighed and blocked an oncoming spear turning the wood shaft to ash as he pierced the griffons chest disintegrating him as well. A sword was swung at him but he simply caught it with his hand and melted the blade before eyeing the griffon. "I believe you dropped this." he said as he threw the melted steel at the griffon who screamed and ran. Calmly Grillby looked over the remaining griffons. "This is your final chance, leave this kingdom and do not return." He said calmly.
The griffons look at each other for a moment before turning and fleeing the hall. Grillby sighed and deactivated the sword before sitting down tiredly. "I'm getting too old for this shit." He said.
Chara burst out laughing. "Always knew you had a sense of humor buried under all that hot air." Chara said.
Grillby groaned "You are more like Sans every time we talk."
"Indeed, My toy has been most entertaining." A voice said calmly causing everyone to turn in surprise as a completely white figure with no features except for a white smile on their face calmly walked forward. "A Puppet with no strings but still is quiet amusing."
"Asriel summoned his sword however it flickered and dulled as his magic was almost drained. "Who are you?" He asked as he moved to in front of Chara.
"I am but a simply PLAYER." The figure said with a chuckle.
Chara rose slowly however something was off about her. "I remember you." She said as she walked forward and drew the True Knife.
"Fascinating, and what do you remember my toy?" The PLAYER asked with a bigger smile.
Chara charged forward and swung at the PLAYER her eyes glowing red with determination. "You are the one who Corrupted Frisk!" She screamed as the PLAYER barely dodged the attack. The PLAYER quickly turned and deflected several more attacks but Chara presses on her skin turning a sickly white and decay as her eyes beginning to leak a black substances. "Yo◆︎r Go♓︎■︎♑︎ ⧫︎□︎ ◻︎♋︎⍓︎ ♐︎□︎❒︎ Th♓︎⬧︎!" She screamed her voice cracking and distorting as She charged and slashed the PLAYER across the chest causing him to bleed. The Player gasped and grabbed his chest as he leaped back and looked at Chara in what was either shock or fear. Chara glared at the PLAYER and smiled. "That was for Sans you dirty brother killer." She said
The PLAYER growled and in his hand papered a knife as well. "You know they say if you want something done then you have to do it your self." They said as they charged at Chara swinging the Knife with a smile. Chara smiled as well and charged forward meeting the player only for the Player to decapitate Chara.
"Chara!" Asriel cried as her body flew past the PLAYER who stopped and turned wit a smile only to gasp as a glowing star appeared and Chara leaped out charging at the PLAYER the knife shifting into a long sword that she swung at the PLAYER her eyes glowing red.
"You may have manipulated the Timeline and had control of Frisks Determination but you don't know how to use it like I do." She said as she added another deep gash to the PLAYERS chest and knocking him backwards into Grillby's waiting fist which slammed into the PLAYER with enough force to cause a small explosion on impact. The PLAYER was thrown backwards and Charas eyes changed to blue as she grabbed the PLAYERS soul and threw it backwards causing him to crash into a wall. Chara smiled as several bones ripped form the wall and impaled them. "Get dunked on." Chara said in a low voice with a smile on.
As Chara turned away from the sight a low laugh was heard echoing through the hall and everyone froze as Chara turned back her eyes wide as she saw the PLAYER pulling away from the bones that pinned them. The PLAYER laughed as they ripped them self free from the wall and fell to the ground with a wet splat before rising. "You can not beat me Chara Dreemurr, your not strong enough to best me." They said as they walked forward. "To be honest if you were at your best with a full pool of magic them perhaps you'd have stood a chance but in your state nothing you throw tr me will stop me." They said.
Chara sighed sadly. "Look kid, I gave up hope a long time ago, You don't know how it feels knowing that one day everything could simply be erased. " As Chara spoke everyone looked at her confused except for Asriel who sighed with sadness. "However," Chara continued causing Asriel to look up. "knowing what I do now, after having finally gotten my brother back and regaining a family, after finally having some hope for the first time in so long... I can't afford not to care anymore." She said as she glared at the PLAYER.
"So what, you'll just give me some crappy speech about how you love everyone and then the power of love and friendship will save you?" The PLAYER mocked with a laugh. "News flash kid but this is the real world not some prissy little girl's TV show."
Chara chuckled. "Oh your adorable for thinking that but no, I think I'll save the Orbital Friendship Cannon of Deus Ex Machina for another time." Chara said with a chuckle as she closed her eyes. "Rather I think It's time you met someone who I'm sure is dying to meet you after what you did to his sons" She said with a smile as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a black liquid that glowed with a white outline.
The PLAYER pause for a moment in confusion as Chara chucked the vile at him and it shattered coating him in the substance. "Ugh, what is this shit?" He asked before it began to glow brighter and the PLAYER screamed as a hole in reality was ripped open "This isn't over Chara, I will be back and when I return I shall destroy all you hold dear and rip your family apart!" They screamed as they were sucked inside.
"Give my regards to the Void." Chara yelled happily before passing out.
