We are one and the same

Chapter 8-San's Story

I have paused time right now for everyone, well except you of course. Yep you bud. I will be explaining more to Toriel about after the battle. But for you I'll start at the final battle. That battle is full of dark memories and was extremely hard for me. I had to give a kid I cared about and protected in another timeline a bad time all because she had allowed herself and Chara to kill. I took a break from battling the kid for a few moments as I started sensing that the kid was all the way gone. In hope I cried out to Frisk letting her know I was sparing her and to come back to me. Frisk heard me and I was able to protect her one more time despite her and Chara being merged. I saw her trying to overcome the evilness that had filled her heart and when she told me what needed to be done I did what she asked. Then when she came back I remembered nothing of the battle before. However I used my timeline powers to go back later and see what had happened after I knew she gave up for good. I used my powers to take Frisk back to the happy ending she had worked so hard for and Papyrus and I decided to adopt her. Now that the battle part is over I'll explain the rest to Toriel, I just didn't have the heart to let her know that there was a time when Frisk with Chara's help killed everyone but me. Can you imagine how hurt Toriel would feel about protecting that child if I told her that? It's better this way in order for Frisk, Chara, and Toriel to have a good happy ending. I am starting time again. See ya soon buddy.

I'm just going to start at the beginning for you Toriel as I said it is a long story. So Frisk asked me to adopt her after she realized that Chara was a part of her all this time. She felt I understood more about what she was going through for some reason. When I agreed to adopt her and let her live with us we sat together for a while and she fell asleep leaning on me. I used one of my many shortcuts to take her to my house and with Papyrus we laid her down in the car bed in his bedroom. Papyrus was so excited that Frisk would be living with us and was willing to give up his room for Frisk. However we just decided on finding a time to fix up the tool shed by our house into a room for Frisk. And by that I mean Papyrus found the time to fix up the tool shed by our house.

The next morning is when I noticed that it was not Frisk inhabiting the body but Chara. I had used one of my shortcuts to get back to my house in order to see how the tool shed room was coming along and she ran into me. I felt my judgement eye turning blue and looked inside Chara to see what was going on. She had decided to parade around as Frisk and give everyone at Grillbys a hard time. I also found out she had hacked Papyrus' undernet and wrote a review on Alphys wall in order to cause friction with Frisks friends. I paused time for everyone and talked to Undyne to set up a time she could hang out then took my shortcut back to give Chara the news.

Now as you know Papyrus and I had a bit of a cook off a few days ago and I had found a secret hidden place in waterfall to place the quiche I had cooked not so well. When I got there the echo flower was saying some pretty weird things about a ghost inhabiting the place and tracking whoever came into the hideout down to kill them. I kept this in mind as it sounded like something Chara would say and remembered where the hideout had been. After leaving Chara in Snowdin my judgement eye told me she was going back to this place. I found my way back there and sure enough Chara was building the bridge with the bridge seeds.

I waited a few moments and then noticed that she had cut the bridge seeds with the knife she had held onto. I waited patiently and I started hearing her have a conversation with the echo flower in the room. After her voice stopped I paused time so I didn't have to deal with her hateful act. Yes you heard me right, her hateful ACT emphasis on act. This is where it gets a bit complicated. I touched the echo flower and realized that Chara truly wanted to believe she was a good person and that she was jealous of Frisk's friends. That's when I decided I would continue to work with her and push that she was a good person. I went to her pockets and took out the knife while time was frozen. I also grabbed the cut up bridge seeds and took them to the other room to hide them. Then I started time again and persuaded her with one of my many shortcuts to go see Undyne for a bit. I also told her several puns to show her I felt she was good on the inside in a more subtle way.
