Your P.O.V 

Sans jumped back as Chara made contact with his ribs. You could see the pure terror on his face but he did not fade away. Both knew that he only had one HP so when he didn't die, he and Chara just stood there, stunned. You watched the whole scene from behind them. They both turned to stare at you. Chara was no longer in control of you. You had managed to separate your physical body from her demonic control. 

You stood up, dropping the knife in your hand, grasping the open gash on your arm that was caused by the fight. You rolled your neck around trying to massage the muscles that were aching. In response to the movement, your neck cracked. You looked back up at the two in front of you through the sweat-soaked, dirty hair that hung over your eyes. Your eyes themselves were glowing a beautiful Admiral blue colour.    

You felt accomplished, you felt achieved, you felt proud. You had beaten her. She was no longer entwined with your body and soul. She could no longer hurt you, or Sans, or anyone else.     

Chara's spectral essence hovered between Sans and you. Her expression shifted from joyous ecstasy to a blind rage. She began shouting slurred curses and aggressive threats towards you. "Oh, so you think you win? You escaped me once! You think you can stop me?" She drifted towards you menacingly. 

"Chara," you began, "I have one thing, and one thing only, to say to you. I have no idea what happened in the last few hours... or days for that matter! Like two days ago, I was living on the street and then, all of a sudden, a damn demon is after me?! I have put up with a lot in the past little while. I am Itching for my next hit of a drug that's probably killing me right now! Maybe it's the drugs, maybe it's the stress, maybe it's you! I don't know, but let me goddamn tell you something, I would welcome you to try to come back in this body. You know why? Because I know that even if you do get back in here, I have faith that my good, new friend Sans will end my life over and over until there's no possible way for you to come back. 

"I will endure a million deaths to protect these people," you continued, "even though I've known them for like, 48 hours, they have accepted me and I finally felt safe, even if it was only for a day. So as a (boy/girl) with nothing left but them, I will gladly end your pathetic life to save them!" With each angry syllable, you shouted, your skin gained a deeper blue glow. Your anger grew even more until finally, your eyes erupted into a blue flame like Sans's had been while he fought her. 

A blue aura surrounded Chara as you raised your hand. She tried desperately to break through it. "You can't hold me here forever you know! You'll get tired! You're already tired! You'll break before I do! I'm the one with d-"

"Determination?" You cut her off. "Oh no, no, no. Don't you realize? You need determination to live right? You've separated from the only two bodies who could give you what you wanted. You weren't the one with determination,you never were. You're fading away already. Can't you see that?"

She looked down at herself and realized that it was true. Her spectral form was fading feet first, into nothingness. "No! NO! I will not be taken down by this! I will return and I will kill you!" Her eyes and mouth blackened and almost seemed to melt. "I will KILL YOU! I WILL BE THE END OF YOU! YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE! EVERY MONSTER AND HUMAN! I WILL... I... I'll..." 

"Chara? It's ok. Chara... It's time to go. I know you're scared, I saw it when you were in my mind, and I know you feel abandoned. Trust me, I know the feeling... Killing, however; is definitely not the way to go. It was your time to go a long time ago. But you've been selfish. So accept it." 

Her body faded away leaving only her head. She looked at you, and then to Sans, and then out the judgment hall windows. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and she was fading. You couldn't tell if she was realizing her mistakes or if she was merely accepting her fate, but she nodded and allowed herself to fade away fully. 

You dropped to the floor as the shield that held her and your body's glow faded. Sans was still across the hall, absolutely astonished by what he just witnessed. He ran over to your side and held you close, "kid, that was amazing. Let's get you out of here. You don't look so good." 

"I don't feel so good." You tried to chuckle as you leaned into his embrace. He brushed your hair away from your face and picked you up. You couldn't feel him pick you up, only see it. Your head rested against his rib cage which made you laugh. "I forgot you were a skeleton... No skin." With that odd, last exhausted word, you passed out in the gentle embrace of Sans's boney arms.
