//------------------------------// // The Meeting That Shouldn't be Possible // Story: Undertale: The Next World // by unleashedtwilight //------------------------------// Chara just silently walked passed everypony, at the same time getting strange looks from them. Some looked like they had seen her before while others looked like something was different with her. However they were thinking of a different human; not Chara. She was about to say something to them until a white Unicorn ran into her. “Ugh…” Chara groaned. “Oh dear! I apologize, it’s just I’m in such a rush that I--” The white unicorn stopped in mid sentence. “Oh… my dear when did you get out here? I don’t recall you following me.” “What are you talking about!?” Chara exclaimed in annoyance. “I don’t even know who you are!” “Well there’s no need to be so rude young lady.” Rarity glared a bit. “And it’s not nice to pretend not to know somepony especially after just meeting them a few minutes ago.” Chara just groaned. “Look, I never met you before. My name is Chara, okay?” “Chara?...” Rarity tilted her head. “Oh dear… I apologize; I could’ve sworn you were Frisk.” Chara just widened her red eyes at her. “I’m sorry. Did you just say Frisk?” “Er… yes she’s back in Princess Twilight’s castle. Do you know her?” “You could say that…” Rarity just snapped back into reality of what she was doing. “Oh goodness! I still have to go find something presentable to wear!” she exclaimed running off. Chara just looked at the crystal like castle in the distance heading in that direction. “You thought you could get away from me… hmph.” Chara huffed. “You stupid, innocent child.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “So you’re telling me that when Princess Celestia brought her here, this evil child came with her!?” Twilight exclaimed. “Precisely.” Luna nodded. “However…” “However what…?” “Something seemed a bit off.” Luna answered. “My sister did not look too concerned when it happened.” “Maybe she’s sure that this Chara won’t be able to hurt anyone?” Fluttershy asked. “No I don’t think so.” Luna replied. “She witnessed the events that occurred in the underground. She would not just dismiss that.” Frisk lowered her head a bit thinking. “Maybe she thinks Chara can change.” “Well whatever the reason, we can’t just expect to trust her right away.” “Well we have to do something.” Twilight started to get nervous. “If what you’re saying is true, that means none of us are safe.” “Actually I think we’re fine right now…” Frisk said rubbing her shoulder. “Chara doesn’t have her weapon.” “Her weapon?” Frisk just gulped taking out the ‘Real Knife’. Everypony freaked out at the site of it. Luna however did not hesitate to use her magic and destroy it. “W-whoa!” Frisk exclaimed. “We do not need a dangerous item like that in Ponyville.” Luna said with a tone of aggravation. “After all, you are a human of kindness aren’t you?” “Yeah, I’d never hurt anyone…” Frisk looked down for a moment and sighed. “Almost…” “Almost?” “Well you see… I normally am a pacifist, yes. I thought making my friends over and over again would be fun. So I kept resetting the world to do that.” “Resetting the world…?” Twilight said with complete shock and disbelief. “But…. but…” “Twilight, I shall explain later.” Luna said to the purple alicorn. “Please continue Frisk.” “After resetting a bunch of times, I guess it started to get boring… Then a voice inside me gave me an idea.” Frisk sighed. “Why not try to kill them instead? The world could easily be reset… So I did. But the more I killed… the more my LOVE increased… The more I was losing my sanity to her.” “That sounds horrifying…” Fluttershy said covering her mouth. “It’s my fault… it’s my fault everyone that everyone I cared about is dead…” Frisk stammered as tears started to form in her eyes. “If I had the power, I would take it all back. I thought selling my soul to see them again would be the answer…” “Selling your soul!?” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. “Are you crazy!?” “Rainbow Dash, please!” Twilight exclaimed back. “When you’re in a situation like that, what would you have done??” “That’s--...! … I…” Rainbow stammered a bit and sighed lowering her head. “I guess you’re right…” “I thank you for saving me from that situation… But I really didn’t deserve it.” Frisk continued crying. Luna lowered down to eye level with Frisk rubbing her head. “That’s not true… everyone deserves a second chance. Or in your case: a true reset.” “She doesn’t deserve anything like that!” Everyone just looked in the direction of where that voice came from. It was chara staring angrily at Frisk. “You! You cheated me!” “C-Chara what--...” Frisk stammered. “Shut up!” Chara exclaimed walking toward Frisk. “I don’t want to hear your damn excuses! It was your own fault for everyone in the underground died!” “That was your idea though! I would never have killed everyone if it weren’t for you!” Chara just laughed maniacally at Frisk. “Are you serious!? That first death was your choice and you know it!” She exclaimed grabbing Frisk’s shirt. “So how did you do it!? How did you escape!?” Without warning, Chara’s body was levitated and slammed down hard on the table making her unable to move. “You should be grateful, human! It was not Frisk who brought you both here, it was my sister and I! And believe me, bringing you was the last thing we had planned!” “Well then guess what? You’re both idiots for trying to save her in the first place!” Luna snorted in anger at that remark. “You dare disrespect us like this!? You are nowhere near the position to speak to us that way!” her voice echoed in her royal voice. Chara just struggled to move her body. Being in this situation just reminded her of when she fought Sans: being thrown around with her soul turned blue. “Well in a way, I guess I should thank you and your sister…” Luna just raised an eyebrow at this. “Thanks to you, I don’t need to take Frisk’s soul… I have my own.” “Half.” Luna stated. “You only have half a soul.” “Excuse me…?” “Bringing both you and Frisk here separated not just your bodies; but your souls as well.” She said stepping forward. “What this means for you, I cannot be sure. However there are a few possibilities…” “Like what?” Frisk asked. “For starters, your souls could be linked to one another. Should one of you die, so shall the other.” “So I can’t even get rid of her…” Chara said in an annoyed. “Precisely.” Luna nodded. “Perhaps this is a chance for both of you to have a new start.”
