//------------------------------// // The Anomaly // Story: Asriel's Change of Fate // by Corvo Storm //------------------------------// A short, chubby looking skeleton in a blue jacket, black pants, and wearing morning slippers was napping on the couch enjoying the rest he can always get until he felt some type of force that was out of the ordinary, causing him to jolt awake too fast. This caused him to fall off the couch with a yelp and hit his skull on the coffee table that three of his friends were using to play some card game. He had hit his skull hard enough for it to crack. The noise the crack made was loud enough for everyone in the house to come see what happened. "SANS WHAT HAPPENED?" asked a taller looking skeleton that wore skin tight black pants, a white colored chest plate with a orange cape, and orange gloves and boots. The now identified skeleton got up with his hand holding his skull on where he hit it. When he took his hand away to look at it, it was covered some type of red substance. "Heh, that's what you get for drinking ketchup. Papyrus do you mind?" said Sans. "NOT AT ALL BROTHER," Papyrus replied, happy to help his brother out. He took off one of his gloves and put his hand on the cracked part of Sans skull. There was a faint glow and when he removed his hand, his brother's injury was healed. He put his glove back on and asked again, "NOW WHAT HAPPENED?" Before Sans could answer a shark looking woman did it for him, "He just jumped up all of a sudden and hit his head the coffee table interrupting mine, Alphys', and Asgore's game of Yu-Gi-Oh!" "Undyne is right. He looked as if he was scared by something," said a goat looking person with a beard. "Do you care explain what caused you to act like that?" asked another goat person except it was a woman. Sans shook his head and said, "I don't think it would be easy to explain but right now it doesn't matter. Where's Frisk?" As if on cue a human in a pink and blue stripped shirt stood in front of him wondering what the matter was. He looked at the human, who was wondering what was going on, and said in a serious tone and face, "Frisk I need you to accompany me on something important." The human nodded her head(in my story Frisk is a girl because the name is gender neutral)in a understanding matter. After getting her confirmation that she will help he grabbed her shoulder, and said to everyone that they will be, they teleported away to the area that Sans had locked up behind his and Papyrus' old house in the underground. He went over to the broken machine that was covered by the curtain and got something from behind it. Frisk curious about what he was doing and tried to ask but stopped when he came from behind the curtain with some type of device in his hand. He looked at Frisk and explained, "This is a device I made in my spare time that let me jump into different dimensions. I never tested it so there is no telling what could happen. Look, you don't have to come with me on this if you don't want to, but if you do then be ready for whatever happens." Frisk nodded in understanding but asked what everybody else should do while their gone. He answered, "Nothing because they're coming with us." He didn't want to but decided that it would be best seeing as they could use the extra help should it be needed. He grabbed Frisk by the shoulder again and teleported them back to the house. After explaining everything to everyone, they all agreed to go with them. They all began to pack some supplies for the upcoming adventure. The goat woman, who is Toriel, went to the kitchen and made some snacks for the trip. The lizard monster woman, who is Alphys, went to pack some science equipment to help study the area they are going to. Asgore, the goat with beard, went to help Papyrus who was packing some bones that were the same kind of bones that he used to give Undyne as a gift for when he and her 'trained' together. Undyne decided to wait for everyone else to get done so she sat down and watched some anime. After everyone was done packing they all gathered around Sans and waited for him to send them on their way. He put on his trademark smile and said, "I have a good feeling that this will all work out." Then he pressed the button. ------------------------------------------------------- Asriel didn't understand how but she stood in front of him with her knife ready to take his life. He knew that if Chara is here then that would mean that this world will begin to suffer her wrath. He remembers from other timelines when she possessed Frisk to do her bidding. The only one that was able to stop her long enough for Frisk to RESET was that skeleton Sans. He needed to find a way to stop Chara but also spare her. He needed to try and talk some sense into her without this turning into a battle. He tried to reason with her, "Chara you don't have to do this. Please don't kill anyone. These ponies did nothing to you." All she did was smile and say, "I don't care," then lash at him with her knife. He dodged the first two attacks without getting hit while the third attack grazed his cheek enough to draw blood. She kept attacking relentlessly making him have to keep dodging. He was getting exhausted by the dodging that he was beginning to slow down causing him to get hit more. He received cuts of all types: small cuts, big cuts, shallow cuts, deep cuts, short cuts, and long cuts. He was losing ground fast and didn't know what to do other than dodge. There was a flash to his left that occurred all of a sudden causing him to get distracted and turn to see what it was. He regretted looking when he felt a very sharp pain in his shoulder and spread through his body causing him to yell in pain. There was a huge gasp from where the flash came from as well as a voice,"Asriel? Chara?" ------------------------------------------------------- As soon as he pressed the button they were all warped from the house they lived in and went through a disorienting tunnel. He was unfazed by this while everyone else were having trouble from not vomiting or passing out. After quite a bit of nausea inducing travel they reached a part of the tunnel that was completely black while still being able to see each other. They were all wondering what was going and looked to Sans for an explanation. He just shrugged his shoulders seeing as there is no way of explaining what's going on. After a few minutes the tunnel flashed brightly forcing them all to shield their eyes. Once it dissipated they saw a goat child being stabbed in the shoulder by a human child. They all gasped when the goat child yelled in pain. The only one who uttered any words was Toriel,"Asriel? Chara?"
