* Toriel blocks the way!

He really didn't feel like doing ANY of this. This all felt pointless to him.

He thinks back to what she told him to do with the dummy. She said talking to the monsters was a good strategy, right?

So all he needs to do is talk to her!

"S-So, Toriel! G-Got any interesting snail facts for me?" Chester stutters out weakly, ignoring his small voice crack.

What he didn't expect next to happen was a million tiny fireballs suddenly being thrown towards his SOUL.

"WHOAHHH!!" He screeches, maneuvering his heart shaped object around the danger to the best of his abilities.
Unfortunately for him, he wasn't all that good with dodging attacks yet.

One fireball smacks him right in the SOUL.

"AUGH!" Chester yelps, clutching his stomach with one hand.

* Toriel looks through you.

And the imaginary voice in his head is right once again! Toriel didn't seem to care much about how badly that stung him.

He tries the ACT button again. This time, he presses CHECK instead of the other option.

* CHECK
* TORIEL - ATK 80 DEF 80
* Knows best for you.

Bullshit.

Before he could even look back up at her, Toriel is already throwing out her next attack, the same one as well.

And it hits him again.

"GHH!" Chester hisses through his teeth, his legs are wobbling from how much pain he's in.

He's going to have a million different degree burns after this, isn't he?

He gently taps the ACT button one more time, in one last attempt of talking things out. He doesn't know how much more he can take of this.

"Toriel... p-please. Everything.... everything hurts right now. It f-feels like... I'm burning from the inside. Like... my insides are sizzling, i-if that makes sense." Chester coughs, and blood splatters onto the dusty floor.

His vision is getting blurry, and the room is starting to spin. His hearing was leaving him too...

He can see fireballs whirling towards his SOUL. He doesn't have the strength to move it out of the way, or hell- move at all.

"T....Tori..."

Before his vision goes dark completely, he can see Toriel's once stone cold expression turn into shock as she covers her mouth with both hands. Her eyes are quickly wide open, and... were those tears falling from them?

Chester didn't know, and Chester didn't care.

Because Chester is dead.









And then he opens his eyes once more.

His first breath was a gasp, followed by him stumbling to the ground.

His heart was practically beating out of his chest, and he could barely catch his breath.

"W-... what...? The hell....?" Chester cries, carefully standing up and looking at what is in front of him.

He was back at Toriel's house, specifically the outside. He's also back at one of the many glowing yellow shards that he keeps finding over time.

"H-Huh..."

Did... the mysterious shard bring him back from the dead?

Only one way to find out...

Okay, it totally did.
