Undertale: Genocide

The Power of Neo

I walked into the room where Mettaton was waiting. He talked about how I was evil and that he was going to stop me. If Undyne, captain of the Royal Guard and Spear of Justice, couldn't stop me, he had no chance. I smirked and stepped forward. He laughed and reminded me that he was once a human eradication robot. "And those functions were not fully removed!" He boasted. My smirk fell. Maybe I was in for a decent fight. Heh. I spun the gun in my fingers and pointed it at him, ready to pull the trigger. He turned a dial on his body and a cloud of smoke blocked my view of him. When the smoke cleared, he stood in front of me. He was in a different form than the one from the other timeline. This might be an interesting fight. He had lights on his back that made it look like he had wings made of pink light. His right hand became a light canon, mirroring my own choice of weapon. I saw his soul had returned to the monster state instead of being shown in the human state. He looked a lot like Undyne did before she died for the final time. Alphys really did love Undyne, didn't she? I shot Mettaton and... he dodged? Heh. Now this will be a worthy fight. "Do you really think I'd let you just get away with taking away my audience?" He snarled at me. I shot at him and actually hit him this time. His health dropped to zero. "Gh... guess you don't want to join my fan club then?" He said. A tear rolled down his cheek. I rolled my eyes but then, he grabbed me. "But still, I hope you had a blast." He said with a smirk as I saw a bomb encased in his chest. I struggled free and ran for cover. Mettaton exploded the bomb, killing himself whilst trying to take me down with him. The explosion shone like a bright star. He finally got his dream. I moved onwards to the castle.

I walked to New Home and saved. I entered the house and went into the first room. On the floor we're the two boxes. Inside one was a Real Knife. I equipped it. Inside the other was a Locket. I placed it around my neck and gave it a pat. "Right where it belongs." I mumbled to myself. I went into the living room and found Sophie waiting for me. "Howdy, Chara! You finally made it home. Remember when we used to play here? Hee hee hee... Boy! Today's gonna be just as fun." They said. I took over so I could talk to my sibling. I did remember all the time we played together, when we did drawings together, when we fought over toys. I felt myself welling up a bit. Sophie, my Sophie. I walked into the kitchen to grab the key to unlock the chain over the stairs to the basement. I was interrupted by Flowey again. "I remember when I first woke up here, in the garden. I was so scared. I couldn't feel my arms or my legs... My entire body had turned into a flower! 'Mom! Dad! Somebody help me!' I called out. But nobody came." They said. My heart sank. No one heard their cries. Why? Where were Mom and Dad? Why?! I was so angry. I felt no remorse for Toriel's death and now I believe she deserved to die. I moved towards the flower garden, where I knew Dad would be. After unlocking the chains, I ventured down into the basement. I was constantly stopped by Flowey. They told me about what happened when they woke up. "Eventually, the king found me, crying in the garden. I explained what had happened to him. Then he held me, Chara. He held me with tears in his eyes, saying... 'There, there. Everything is going to be alright.' He was so... Emotional. But... For some reason... I didn't feel anything at all. I soon realized I didn't feel ANYTHING about ANYONE. My compassion had disappeared! And believe me, it's not like I wasn't trying. I wasted weeks with that stupid king, vainly hoping I would feel something. But it became too much for me. I ran away from home. Eventually, I reached the RUINS. Inside I found HER, Chara. I thought of all people, SHE could make me feel whole again. ...She failed. Ha ha..." They said. I could feel the sadness in their voice. I felt so bad for my best friend. I abandoned them, playing my selfish game. "I realized those two were useless. I became despondent. I just wanted to love someone. I just wanted to care about someone. Chara, you might not believe this... But I decided... It wasn't worth living anymore. Not in a world without love. Not in a world without you. So... I decided to follow in your footsteps. I would erase myself from existence. And you know what? I succeeded." My heart stopped. They... they erased themselves from existence?! Follow in my footsteps?! My heart broke. I felt sick. "But as I left this mortal coil... I started to feel apprehensive. If you don't have a SOUL, what happens when you...? Something primal started to burn inside me. 'No,' I thought. 'I don't want to die!' ...Then I woke up. Like it was all just a bad dream. I was back at the garden. Back at my 'save point.'
Interested, I decided to experiment. Again and again, I brought myself to the edge of death. At any point, I could have let this world continue on without me. But as long as I was determined to live... I could go back. Amazing, isn't it, Chara? I was amazed, too.
At first, I used my powers for good. I became 'friends' with everyone. I solved all their problems flawlessly. Their companionship was amusing... For a while." I could feel where this was going. They thought I was in control. I was never in control and neither was Chloe. Something else was pulling the strings. "As time repeated, people proved themselves predictable. What would this person say if I gave them this? What would they do if I said this to them? Once you know the answer, that's it. That's all they are. It all started because I was curious. Curious what would happen if I killed them. 'I don't like this,' I told myself. 'I'm just doing this because I HAVE to know what happens.' Ha ha ha... What an excuse!" I felt my grip loosen as I took control. That last line shook me to my core. It was like what I was doing. I could reset at any point and yet, I haven't. I've kept going. I've continued down this path and now I feel like I'm reaching the end. "You of all people must know how liberating it is to act this way. At least we're better than those sickos that stand around and WATCH it happen... Those pathetic people that want to see it, but are too weak to do it themselves. I bet someone like that's watching right now, aren't they...?" I was confused at this line. What did they mean? Oh well. Never mind. "Nowadays, even that's grown tiring. You understand, Chara. I've done everything this world has to offer. I've read every book. I've burned every book. I've won every game. I've lost every game. I've appeased everyone. I've killed everyone. Sets of numbers... Lines of dialog... I've seen them all. But you... YOU'RE different. I never could predict you, Chara. When I saw you in the RUINS, I didn't recognize you. I thought I could frighten you, then steal your SOUL. I failed. And when I tried to load my save file... It didn't work. Chara... Your DETERMINATION! Somehow, it's even greater than mine! I just have one question for you, Chara. How did you get back to the RUINS from here...?" They questioned. I don't even remember how I got there. I only remember collapsing in the garden with Sophie. "Wait, I know. She must have taken you when she left. And decided to give you a proper burial, rather than... Hanging out in the basement forever. ... but, why then...? What made you wake up? Did you hear me calling you...?" They squeaked. I felt Charlotte smile. I heard them, I just couldn't respond. I needed my soul, my determination. Since I was dead, I had neither. Flowey sighed. "It doesn't matter now. I'm so tired of this, Chara. I'm tired of all these people. I'm tired of all these places. I'm tired of being a flower. Chara.
There's just one thing left I want to do. Let's finish what we started. Let's free everyone. Then... let's let them see what humanity is REALLY like! That despite it all... This world is still 'kill or be killed!!'" Their voice and manner had changed. They wanted to make the humans suffer for what had been done to them. It wasn't just about showing them that there is only two constants in this world. "Then...? Well. I had... Been entertaining a few ways to use that power. Hee hee hee... ... But seeing you here changed my mind. Chara... I think if you're around... Just living in the surface world doesn't seem so bad.
We don't even need to leave to get them this time. The king has six of them locked away. I've tried hundreds of ways to get him to show me them... But he just won't. Chara... I know he'll do it for YOU." They said. They sounded so sure of themselves. "Why tell me this?" I asked them. They chuckled. "Why am I telling you all of this? Chara, I said it before. Even after all this time... You're still the only one that understands me. You won't give me any worthless pity!" They were right... and I needed to complete my genocide. My expression became neutral. Nothing was shown on my face. I kept my cards to my chest. "Creatures like us... Wouldn't hesitate to KILL each other if we got in each other's way. So that's... So... that's... Why..." They trailed off as a crazed smile slid across my lips. It was barely a smirk when I saw Flowey start to shake. My smile grew more sinister. "... ha... Ha... ... what's this... feeling? Why am I... Shaking? ... Hey... Chara... No hard feelings about back then, right? ... H-Hey, what are you doing!? B... back off!!" I approached them, a very sick smile on my face. My creepy face as they called it. I hummed the tune of the music box inside the statue. It was now a haunting melody. "I... I've changed my mind about all this. This isn't a good idea anymore. Y-you should go back, Chara. This place is fine the way it is!" I advanced still, the smile on my face. My creepy face. They asked for me to come back and here I am. "... S-s-stop making that creepy face!" They screamed at me. "This isn't funny! You've got a SICK sense of humor!" I backed them up against the wall. I had the knife in my hands. "Are your memories still all there? The smell of the surface air, the wind blowing through your hair. You promised we'd both be theirs." I sang, my words chilling the flower to their roots. I swung at them. They gave a small scream and ran away. I chuckled, ready to meet Asgore.

I entered Judgement Hall. I saved. LV19. I walked through, until I came face to face with someone I thought would have been long gone. "Heya. You've been busy, huh?" Sans said to me. I stayed silent. I couldn't look at him. "So, i've got a question for ya. Do you think even the worst person can change...?" He asked. "That everyone can be a good person, if they just try?" He asked, echoing the words of his brother. I looked at him this time. He was wearing Papyrus's scarf. The red fabric was secured around his neck. I felt my sins crawling all over my back. I felt myself move forward. "Heh heh heh heh... All right. Well, here's a better question." He said, his grin feeling sinister. "Do you wanna have a bad time?" He asked, his voice filled with calm rage that shook me to my core. "Cause if you take another step forward... you are REALLY not going to like what happens next." He said. I felt myself shuffle one step forward. I didn't want to move, but I did anyway. "Welp. Sorry, old lady. This is why I never make promises." He said to me. Toriel. I remembered the last run, the promise he made for us. The world flashed grey scale and the fight began. I wonder if this will be entertaining.
