Undertale Awakening: Inspired Reality

Ch.11 Brief Respite

  After walking through the portal into the living room the first thing I'm met with is the sound of shrill screaming and demonic hissing. Then I noticed three little figure quickly dart behind me. Not even five seconds later a certain Furby comes scuttling in with black and red eyes leaving a trail of black miasma behind them coming from their mouth. They stop immediately after noticing me and go back to normal. I rub my forehead and sigh, feeling an oncoming headache. "I don't know whether I'm too young or too old for this, so let's go with both." I say aloud, mostly to myself.

  "Who are you? Where is Catcher? You feel kinda like them, but different." The bitty I recognize as Carber, a FellSwap Gold Sans bitty, demands.

  "It's gonna get annoying explaining this over and over again isn't it?" I say sighing.

  "Oh most definitely. Especially with how many bonds you have. I can't see all of them very well, but their definitely there." Reaper tells me.

  I look down at the three confused bitties. I honestly don't know exactly how to explain what was going on to them. Catcher saw the bitties as friends/family, where I saw them more as my children. I wrote them to both protect Catcher and be their family. But honestly I didn't even know exactly how I saw some of the beings I wrote in my stories. This was going to get really complicated over time. I turn around and bend down on one knee slowly looking at the bitties. "The easiest way to explain it is I am an alternative version of Catcher before they became a Dream Sans. I somehow because fused with theirs, and other version of ourselves souls. I am familiar with some of their life since I have written it in a story. I don't know if I'm their actual creator or if I was just given knowledge of their life, however I will do my best to find out what's going on or even recover their memories if at all possible." I tell them nervous.

  "So your telling us that you and Catcher were originally the same person, but are alternates of eachother, you are a creator like Catcher, your souls fused together, and you don't have their memories, but you will do your upmost to recover them. Does that cover everything?" Moon, the Corrupted Nightmare bitty asked.

  "You've also been transported to another reality where the government wants to capture anyone like Aster and Blessed here or us and experiment on them. Also, Aster's human family has been captured by a group of unknown individuals and we need to leave in less than an hour for them or they will probably be killed." Reaper sums up.

  "Talk about ripping off the bandage Reaper. You could have atleast let them process the first part before you dumped a bomb with a timer on them." Blessed says.

  "We kinda are on a timer anyways. They have to get over any hang ups they might have and fast. We won't be able to stay here long anyways since with the higher ups of this world governments on our tails it means we have to go on the run before they can catch us. I still think we would be better leaving this reality all together, but Aster wants to help the others here like you Blessy."

  "Ugh, please don't call me that, it seriously sounds like a name for a cow or something. I'm a grown woman." Blessed says annoyed.

  "Uh, HeLlO?!?! We'Re StIlL HeRe!" String, the Error bitty says.

  "Why does the woman-child look like a baby skeleton, but um... Aster looks human." Carber asks.

  "I'm currently shapeshift to look like what I did as a human to avoid bringing attention to myself. If I was going around as a skeleton I would likely have the military on me or at least the local police. I mean I'll probably have to deal with them eventually, but it's best to prolong that eventuality." I explain.

  "Can you turn back to look like Catcher? It would allow us to confirm what you have told us is true." Carber asks, the other two nodding in agreement.

  "Alright, just let me relax. I'm still pretty new to the whole having special abilities thing." I say closing my eyes. After a moment what were once eyes opened to reveal a single golden yellow glowing eye light in a black socket with the other being covered in blackish gold goop. My entire body melted to black goop and shrank. Blessed fumbled for a moment before readjusting their grip on me. "Give a lady warning next time! I almost fell off!" Blessed exclaims.

  "Sorry, I forgot to account for your grip on me when I changed size." I apologized, carefully grabbing them in my arms and setting them on the ground.

  "YoU ReAlLy ArE CaTcHeR." String says.

  "I would prefer you called me Aster. While I may be fused with them it's the name I prefer. It's also the most common nickname I used for my OCs for my different stories, so it will make things simpler in the long run." I tell them.

  "How many stories did you write?" Moon asks.

  "Technically only 3 or 4, but I came up with quite a few more stories than that I just never wrote down. I'm a fan of writing reincarnation stories so all my OCs are alternatives of me being reborn in Undertale multiverses." I explain.

  "So it really wasn't just Catcher you fused with?" Carber asks.

  "They fused with 10 versions of themselves, though only two are fully fused with them. One being Catcher and the other being who was originally my soulmate Error." Reaper says.

  "Holy Guacamole, that's a lot of souls!" Blessed exclaims before disappearing. It seems they got a bit TOO worked up.

  "Oh no, they did it again..." I say concerned.

  "Don't worry, they'll be back. We already explained how to direct their ports to us." Reaper says nonchalantly.

  "Uhh... Will the woman-child be ok?" Carber says confused.

  "They'll pop back in eventually. They just have issues with bouts of accidental magic due to being so young again. Makes them teleport to random locations. Nothing to worry about." Reaper tells them.

  "Oh, I'm definitely gonna worry. They are literally teleporting across the globe randomly. Who knows what kind of trouble they can get up to even if it's probably not intentional." I say.

  "Your just being a mother hen. The kiddo will be fine. Plus your dealing with an influx of hormones and instincts." Reaper says before immediately realizing their mistake.

  "Did you just call me hormonal?! Who's fault would that be hmmm?! I'll show you how hormonal I am by kicking your coccyx!" I exclaim menacingly with 6 tendrils now swaying threateningly behind me.

  "Now just wait a minute Aster- Gak!" Reaper was saying before being cut off by me tackling him.

  "BEWARE MY WRATH AND SUFFER!!!" I exclaim before wrapping Reaper in my tendril and shaking him around. I wasn't going to actually hurt him, but a lesson was due.

   "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

  "MUAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!"

  The three bitties and the furby watched all this going down extremely confused but also kinda happy. They had never seen Catcher so light souled before. It was like watching a light that had been snuffed out come back to life. It was like night and day. Catcher had lost all will to live for themselves but had been recovering. Though they doubted they would ever see what they had been like before they had lost everything. But this was something else. This was what they were supposed to be like. They knew Catcher had dealt with great pain when they were human, but they hadn't imagined they're soul would be so bright and vibrant. Their was still an undercurrent of pain and sadness through the bond but after giving a look to one another they came to the consensus that they would do their best to heal it. They promised they would stay by Catcher's side no matter what and they wouldn't be going back on that now.
