Entry Number 0. Timeline Number 7.

Testing my new acquisition.

XGaster stared at the reset button with an unamused face as it disappeared.

Just as I thought, the RESET is extremely boring.

XGaster's heterochromia eyes reverted back to his usual white ones as he held his fused soul.

At least my soul has a powerful fragment of DETERMINATION.

Chara's new heterochromia eyes that are similar to XGaster's stared at the body in front of him while removing the knife from said body. He frowned at the sight, a feeling of sadness beginning to take over him.

[Name] watched everything from afar while weeping. After many resets and many times of being confused (along with getting a feeling of déjà vu), they eventually connected the pieces together.

Chara was testing his newfound abilities on Frisk. Killing him with every reset.

All [Name] could do was weep. They knew they couldn't do anything about this. It would all reset again.

The prototype of my experiment seems to have fun with its new abilities, however. . .

. . . the other. . . other. . . human. . . made this new timeline a waste of resources.

Frisk's body laid there while his soul appeared above him. It began to crack slowly while its original red color began to fade into a hollow purple one. He held his heart locket in his hand. The heart locket was open, revealing a picture of him, Chara, and [Name] all smiling together while the music played.

Again.

He refused to fight or defend himself with every reset executed.

I guess it's time to move on.

Frisk's hollow soul appeared on XGaster's hand within the blink of an eye. XGaster observed it closely, inspecting the soul with a smile.

I have learned something about human souls. . .

They can lose their trait due to their feelings. . .

He handed the empty soul over to his assistant. "Assistant, add this to the data compilation."

Alphys took hold of the hollow soul, generating it into a piece of glowing, purple paper. "Data saved successfully."

"Good. I will study that soul in detail later," said XGaster, growing more curious about what a human soul can and cannot do. But a light purple tear managed to slide down his face as he caressed his cheekbone, feeling water coming down. He inspected the tear before narrowing his eyes on Chara, who shed a tear on his purple eye.

"Why are you crying?"

Chara stared at Frisk's body as his blood scattered across the light lavender grass. More purple flowers bloomed where he was, with small bits of blue forget-me-nots sprouted as well.

". . . I want him back."

XGaster smiled, finding this quite pathetic in a funny way. "Is that so? Chara, he is irrelevant to this world. You already have [Name]. Isn't one already enough?" He questioned the white-haired boy.

"One isn't enough. . ." Chara reached his hand up to generate the reset button once again. But XGaster grabbed his hand, preventing him from doing so.

"NO MORE RESETS. That coward will turn his back on you again," XGaster told him while gripping his hand tighter. "His determination is gone forever. There is no reason to let him live in our world."

"And if you keep this up, perhaps [Name] won't be allowed to coexist besides you."

Alphys checked her own cheek to see her own tears falling down on her face. She gently caressed her own cheek while noticing a key detail under her sleeve.

There was something golden shining from underneath.

"You want him back, too," Chara told XGaster as his heterochromic eyes glared right at him. "Our soul is not satisfied, and you know it."

"I did not expect us to also share our thoughts," XGaster muttered with a small yet hard to make smirk.

Chara crouched down to gently pick up his brother while XGaster averted his gaze away from him. Chars turned his head back to meet [Name]'s gaze from afar. He sent them a small smile as they lightly gasped in surprise. Chara turned back with his head hung low as he generated the overwrite button.

"A perfect soul should have a graceful vessel as well."

Entry Number 1. Timeline Number 7.

The prototype of the X-EVENT managed to destroy its "brother."

The ability to not die thanks to DETERMINATION is a very useful power. I NEED IT.

ENTRY NUMBER 2. Timeline Number 7.

Prototype Number Two.

A human with dark hair held XGaster's finger while he grabbed [Name]'s hand with the other.

The mastermind hidden within another body.

What will two minds be able to do with my power?

'Frisk' opened his eyes, revealing a purple eye with black sclera as the ghost of Chara smiled behind him.
