"No, no, no, no, NO!"

This isn't happening. Chara yelps as they trip over a rock that wasn't there a second before, suddenly shooting up from the ground and causing them to lose their footing. They flinch when they colide with the floor, palms scraped and bleeding slightly when they look at them, scrambling to their feet and desperately running towards the labs.

The world around them shifts, glitches, monsters half formed, half aware, going through predetermined lines or screaming in terror and rage at the sight before them or what they're experiencing.

Chara doesn't know. Chara doesn't want to know.

"We can fix this- I know we can!"

Their voice is hysteric as they make their way through the maze of changing obstacles, empty spots of pure black they avoid as much as they can, spots of lava they should not be seeing yet, and a scent of something sweet they're fairly sure shouldn't even be underground.

Frisk, arm glitching in and out of existence, doesn't look very convinced.

Their breathing stills when they hear an unfamiliar voice.

"A-aW. HoW c-C-cuTe. THe aNomAlyyyyyy thInkS tHeY c-CaN sUrvIve!"

Chara's head immediately swivels around, a sharp retort on their tongue, which turns to lead the moment they look at the monster behind them.

Well, two monsters.

The one that spoke has an unnatural grin on its face, teeth yellow and bones black, blue tears running down its face. The other is significantly shorter, eyelights shifting into different shapes and colours, a black spot on its cheekbone. They... look entirely too similar to Sans, but also distinctively different.

"Oh, come on, Error! No need to be mean! Their AU is already falling apart as it is. Do you really need to make them feel worse?"

The black skeleton, Error, tilts his skull, gaze shifting to rest on the other skeleton. Chara gets the impression he's raising an eyebrow from where they're frozen on the floor.

"O-oH w-W-wowwwww, sInC-cE whEn aRe Y-yo-yoU coNsidEraTe?!"

The comment is snide despite the grin on his face. The other skeleton frowns at him, left eyelight shifting to a red teardrop. Error rolls his eyelights.

"F-fIne! I'll GeT th-thIs dooooNe wIth!"

Chara has a feeling they should run. They know to trust their gut, so they don't waste a second moving again. They leave half an ear open to listen to Frisk for instructions on where to go, the adrenaline pumping through their veins not allowing for much else. They think the black skeleton says something else, but they don't pay it any mind.

Not till they feel their SOUL getting dragged out of their chest, and the world fades to a vaguely familiar black.
