Frisk: God of the World

She was going to shoot.

Chara had no choice. Before the blaster fired, she threw an energy knife at Goner Kid. Just the one knife cost Chara two HP to cast, but it worked. The knife stabbed Goner Kid in the stomach. Her blaster disappeared as she collapsed on the bridge.

She didn't get up.

Chara felt a pit in her stomach. That couldn't have been enough to kill her... right? Stuffing the Gaster fragment in her pocket, she ran to Goner Kid and held her in her arms. Dust was flowing out of Goner Kid's wound. No, this wasn't supposed to happen. Chara hadn't meant to hurt her that much. She hadn't meant to...

Goner Kid coughed up dust. "Heh, looks like you win after all."

"N-no, you're gonna be okay."

"Haha... I'm such a turd."

What was Chara thinking? She should have just held her ground. Goner Kid wasn't going to fire. Why did she panic? Why did she give in to her fear? She was so stupid.

Goner Kid laughed while coughing up more dust. "You really feel that bad? Why? Are you trying to make me feel bad? You really are cruel. Why don't you just say something mean so I can hate you?"

"Goner Kid..."

"Don't worry," she said. "You won't get any EXP for this. You can't kill someone who doesn't exist, after all."

No, Chara wasn't going to let that happen. She stood up and lifted Goner Kid off the ground. "You're not dying here."

Goner Kid looked up at her, with confusion in her blank eyes. "Why?"

"You're going to see your family again."

She frowned. "I... I can't. I'm not going to..."

"You'll make it. Don't give up."

Chara tried to sense Goner Kid's stats, but all she saw was 'Error!' She couldn't tell how close Goner Kid was to dying; she just had to hope she wouldn't crumble to dust before they got help.

Help... who could help? Sans?

"Seriously," Goner Kid breathed, "why are you doing this for me?"

"Because it's the right thing to do," Chara answered. "Simple as that."

"Even if I survive this, there's no way I'll ever be my normal self again. I'm just some goner."

"I'm not leaving you."

"But –"

"I'm not leaving you!"

Goner Kid fell silent. Chara crossed the bridge and carried her into Snowdin Town. She was surprisingly light, even for a monster. Chara brought her into the town without a problem, and a familiar face approached.

Napstablook rolled up to Chara, still in their robot body. "Oh, there you are. Umm... Alphys wanted to know who you were talking to."

Chara was so happy to see them. "Napstablook! This child needs help!"

Napstablook sounded confused. "I... don't see anyone?"

"What do you mean? I'm holding her right..."

Oh, yeah. Goner Kid was invisible to most people. Napstablook couldn't see her.

"Why are you holding your arms out like that?" Napstablook asked. "And, uh, don't take this the wrong way, but, umm... your face looks weird."

Chara took a deep breath. "Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but right now, I'm carrying an invisible child. She's hurt, and she needs help, now."
