ANOMALY V

XTALE II

Ink: Hello there, pal! How's it going?
X!Gaster: Ink...! Nice to see you again, dear friend.
Ink: I just came to visit you for a while and make sure you're doing good with your creations. I see you did something here. Was it a RESET? You don't look motivated at all.
X!Gaster: No. It was something else. I think I'm a bit of a perfectionist... I-I'm sorry, it's just... I want to use all the potential of my power for something I've been thinking about...
Ink: Which power?
X!Gaster: ...Are you sure you want to see it? OVERWRITE. The power to completely change a timeline... The reality itself of an Alternate Universe... T-That's how it will work with my future experiment. This is just like a game I want to explore.
Ink: ...Changing everything? I don't know, I don't think that's okay...
Veris:I can do it too!
X!Gaster:Hes probably bluffing
Ink:expect anything from that kid
X!Gaster: Anyway It won't break the truce you made with that person. I... want to find the best for them. Please, I need you to understand... I've always dreamed about creating something like this and... thanks to you, I got the perseverance I needed. When I find the right timeline to execute it, I promise you that everything will be okay. It will be the best thing you have ever seen.

Entry number 0. Timeline number 2.
I have overwritten the previous timeline. The children will be surrounded by my creations.
"Not again," said one of them. I do not accept that word in my universe.

X!Asgore: This is the perfect day to play outside with your brothers. Why the long face, dear son?
*he sits next to X!Chara*
X!Chara: I wouldn't be upset if at least everyone could remember anything of what happened...
Veris:*yells*I remember!
X!chara:Anyone but us!*he shouts back*
X!Asgore: Something from the past? Sadly you're right, little one. I don't have any idea what you are talking about... But, if something really bad happened before, you shouldn't be upset because of it. Learn from that past, and don't let it happen again. Don't let that make you a prisoner. You're a human child that must be happy, and I'm an old monster willing to be the best father for you. So, what do you say? Can we help your to create some good memories for the future?
X!Chara: Of course you can. Dad.

Veris:CHARA QUICK A SNAIL!!!
X!Toriel:Did someone say snail? It would make a great pie!
Veris:No the poor snail!
X!Toriel:Im only joking
X!Chara:what is it?
Veris:a snail
X!Chara:Its so cute
Veris:Uhhhh..."Mom" wanted to bake it into a pie
X!Chara:What!No the poor thing.
Veris:I told her not to
X!Chara:why would she want to bake a snail into a pie?
Veris:Potassium.
X!Chara:I don't think snails have potassium
Veris:Banana snail
X!Chara: . . .
*few years later*

X!Frisk: Man, this is the hottest summer ever! It feels like burning in hell, right, Sans?
X!Sans: Nah. With all that sunscreen bottles I gave y'all, you're gonna be fine. They're tested by myself, heh. It's good to see your bro smiling and getting along with everyone. Asgore is good at encouraging people, isn't he?
X!Frisk: It's kinda ironic. Remember what we talked about a couple of years ago? How can it be possible that someone without empathy could create a good-hearted being like Asgore? Chara and I can't understand Gaster at all, but we're glad he could give us someone better than himself.
X!Sans: Is it okay I know this, pal? What if he decides to end all of this? What could we do for you two?
X!Frisk: Chara has someone who is helping him become stronger. I have someone reliable that can listen to me. If anything happens, we can fight the pain. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot make us forget. My brothers and I are not his creations, after all.

X!Sans:So about veris he's a weird one isn't he?
X!Frisk:Veris is definitely aware of things
And doesn't get attached easily
X!Sans:why's that?
X!Frisk:Uh...who knows

X!Gaster: Entry number 1. Timeline number 2.
Too much happiness. At this rate, I won't be able to create the best story in the entire multiverse. Maybe... death can make this more interesting. Everyone looks affected by this loss. Especially the three humans. Their reactions are worth observing. This atmosphere makes me feel what Ink described as "excitement."

X!Gaster: Entry number 2. Timeline number 2.
Have I done something awful? No... This is how life is supposed to work. Evolution requires sacrifice.

*veris looks at X!gaster who's hiding in the corner as they everyone surrounds asgore as he lies dead*

X!Toriel:Please Asgore Wake up
Please this isn't funny
P-Please wake up don't...Leave us

There is nothing left. It's time to overwrite this story once again.

[Chara]: ENOUGH. Do you think this is funny!? What else do you want from them!?

[Gaster]: I will put it in words that you can understand. If you want to see your friends AGAIN... ...I must Overwrite this timeline. Could you please let me work?
*chara backs up *
Good.

Veris:ALRIGHT YOU LISTEN UP HERE MY GUY
I see where this is going
AND I REFUSE TO LET MYSELF BECOME A PUPPET DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
X!Gaster:Looks like im starting to crack that shell of yours
Also...
You don't get a choice in the matter

*Veris is unphased by the overwrite but breaking inside due to see his brothers be hurt*

X!Gaster: I'm surprised that you're still so calm.

Veris:why would I freak out it's not my timeline there's no pain if there's no attachment

X!Gaster:this one is...
Interesting
