Breakdown and Recollect

You Booked it, you don't even remember what had happened and what made Sans so mad at you, all you knew, is that your were heading back the way you came. Scared of these monsters and their double personalities. Running you end up back at,

T H E.   R U I N S

*meanwhile*

Mettaton's eyes flared a bright pink for a second as he stands angered. "So Sans dear, you mean to tell us this kid doesn't even realize what she is doing?!" Of course Sans cant have papyrus in there hearing this, or let him fight the human, So he was upstairs in his room with Undyne keeping watch. So just, Himself, Frisk, Mettaton, and Alphys were downstairs to talk about this problem. "That's exactly what I mean Mettaton. This kid doesn't even realize what's going on, she's being used. Frisk, I think you understand don't you?" Alphys gasped when it finally all clicked into place having remembered what Frisk had told them about 6 years ago. "You don't mean?!" Frisk nods grimly. "I believe it's exactly that.... But... How did that even happen? I didn't think that he'd be causing anymore trouble...." Mettaton also remembering this problem suddenly sat down embarrassed. "Oh... That's what's going on here...." Sans nods knowing everyone there now understands the problem. "Yeah, Chara managed to get ahold of her, I don't know how he wormed his way into her head but.... She not aware of what he's doing while she herself is unconscious." Frisk sighs and scratches the back of his head. "Yeah, that's a symptom. Not knowing anything but being out for a period of time-" Alphys interrupts quickly. "But wait! Frisk! Didn't you know exactly what was going on when Chara was with you?!" Frisk frowns. "Yes, eventually I figured out what was going on. But at first I didn't know what was going on. All I knew is that Chara was extremely persuasive, but only after I had accidentally killed a monster who scared me badly. If she was as horrified by what she saw in town as you said, then she likely hasn't killed anyone herself... So how'd he get a hold of her soul?" Everyone frowned and contemplated this issue, but just then Alphys started to tremble and shakily says something, "Frisk.... Y-you s-said t-that H-he took y-you over r-right and y-you couldn't f-figure o-o-out w-what he did, r-right?" Frisk nods and motions for her to continue. She then turned to Sans, "A-and y-yo-you said th-that she s-seemed l-like s-sh-she had s-some f-form o-of P-PTS-SD r-right?"
Sans nods and they all three look at her and she takes a deep breath, "W-what i-if H-he us-used you t-to tra-tramatize he-her convinc-cing her y-you were the r-real villain and th-the only w-way to st-stop you was to par-partner with him?!" Frisk looks horrified as He realizes this could be a definite possibility. "But that means...." Sans groans and runs his hand across his skull. "The kids out to get ya... And it didn't help I scared the life out of them...." Mettaton sighs. "Looks like we will have to be on guard from now on... And your going to have to stay away from the kid Sans..." Everyone nods. Sans frowns and nods. "Understood."

*back to you*

Chara, for now, was able to exist in physical form beside you, which was a great comfort for you. You were sitting just inside the ruins door bawling from the previous encounter. "Why did I trust that stupid Skeleton! He's just as bad as that flower!" Crying you hug your legs tighter to you as Chara rubs your back smirking when you couldn't see his face. He knew that this would be a perfect opportunity to get you to do some of this yourself. "(Y/n) .... I know you may not want to, but your going to have to learn to fight and defend yourself in case of sudden attacks like that..." You sniff and wipe your eyes with your arm sleeve. "R-right.... If it really is Kill or be killed here..." Looking down a few more tears slip from your eyes at the thought of having to harm others here . "I may have to kill some of them myself...." Chara nods feining a sad disposition. "Yes, that may be what has to happen here." Nodding and staring at the ground, you stand wiping tears away again. "I really don't want to... It could make me just as bad as Frisk... Chara smiles and hugs you. "Look, if you don't want to do of you don't have to, all you have to do is let me take over for a while. It isn't dangerous, in fact you can even choose to not see anything if you'd like." You think on this and sigh. "Alright Chara.... But.... Only in dire situations alright?" Chara nods. "Of course. Only on the most dire of such." He thinks to himself silently that this is exactly what he wanted, and nothing was going to stop him now. "To protect you." You sigh in relief and hug him back tightly. "Thank you Chara. You've been a great help." Chara feels a tiny spark of something he hadn't felt in a long time, Love. Not L.O.V.E, but actual Love. It was a faint little ting and it went away rather quickly, but it was there, and he smiled a small genuine smile, one he had only done before Chara and Him, had failed the trip to the surface, But it was gone just as quickly as it had come. You had pulled away from the hug wiping your tears away again. "I-i'm sorry, I've always been a big baby..." Chara chuckles and whispers, "you have no idea how much you have in common with another person..." You tilt your head to the left and ask, "What did ya say Chara?" Smiling a little, Chara answers, "Nothing (y/n), nothing" with that Chara helps you up and out of the ruins, and into the what you perceive as the horrible world of the underground.
