Author's Notes:

Have fun~ (also go check out camila on youtube n devianart I used her picture because it was useful :D)

I hummed thoughtfully to myself as I looked up at the building simply labeled ‘lab’ in front of me. They had needed volunteers for an experiment involving some technology that was supposed to make it easier to do multiple things at once, and I had signed up purely out of curiosity at what it was.

I entered the building with my hands held together behind my back, strolling in in my dark grey trench coat, grey turtleneck, faded brown pants, so much so they almost looked grey themselves, brown boots on my feet.

Seeing a scientist, I quickly walked over to them, tapping their shoulder. “Excuse me, sir, I signed up for a ‘multitasking’ experiment.” I said.

The scientist turned to me and smiled “Why hello there, I assume you are the… er… Mr. G?” He then took out a clipboard that I saw had my picture and some details I had given from a survey required to enter the selection process. “Well, I see everything is in order, now please, follow me.”

“Of course.” I said, nodding in agreement. “You know, I was actually partially interested in this to further some of my own… personal, research.” I brought up as I followed the scientist through the building.

The scientist looked to me ecstatically “Well, if this turns out to work as planned, you will have a much easier time with your experiments!” he then led me to a chair with a strange headset next to it that had various machines and such that I had honestly never seen the likes of which before. He then pointed to the chair “It is recommended that you take a seat before we commence the trial. The equipment can be quite draining.”

“Alright.” I agreed, taking a seat and putting the headset on. “Now, how do I use this thing?”

The scientist flipped one of three switches, allowing a moderate amount of power into the headset “This headset is meant to safely grant you control over a set of seven hands using a new form of energy that we have discovered, we call it void energy, it is kind of like the opposite of reality, it takes the infinite possibilities and takes the energy from them, leaving the definites of that reality to be at full energy and granting greater stability to our dimension.”

“Interesting, do you mind if I have the notes for this after we’re done here?” I asked, intrigued. “I’d like to experiment with this ‘void energy’.” I requested.

The scientist looked to me uncomfortably “I am sorry, but the notes are classified, we still do not fully understand the applications of void energy yet, and it would be irresponsible of us to give anyone incomplete notes on a potential superpower exceeding nuclear energy.”

“I see… very well, then.” I said, shrugging. “Now, what’s next?”

The scientist smiled and gestured to what looked like a white metal hand on a table across the room “I want you to focus on the hand, and imagine it floating over to the clipboard in my hand, and taking it from me.”

“Alright.” I said. Staring at the hand, I concentrated, doing as the scientist said. The hand wobbled a little, before slowly floating up and over to the scientist, grabbing the clipboard and taking it out of his hand.

The scientist nodded and gently removed the clipboard from my robotic hand before writing down some notes “Now, I am going to bring out the other six hands, I want you to try to lift as many of them as possible, now mind you, we are not functioning at full capacity yet, so do not worry if the hands don’t all move.”

“Alright, I will do my best.” I said, nodding.

I then looked to the other hands as the scientist pulled them out, them also white. I focused on them, and it took pretty much all my concentration, but I was able to lift two or three into the air, but managed to get the rest to at least twitch. The scientist nodded before going to the second switch and flipping it, the hands now all moving much easier and with much less focus required, but there was a strange tingling sensation at the base of my skull. “Are there any adverse effects? No pain or numbness?”

“A strange tingling at the base of my skull, but ignorable.” I told the scientist, experimentally moving the hands in different, increasingly complex formations.

The scientist nodded and walked to the last switch “This will put us at full capacity, are you ready?”

“Yes.” I said, nodding.

The scientist flipped the switch, and everything went gray, then black.

???

“Where… am I?” I questioned silently to myself as I looked around the light gray room around me. “This appears to be some kind of… void… but like a room at the same time?” I mumbled to myself as I examined the area surrounding me.

Looking down, my eyes widened at what I saw. “Why am I goopy?!” I shouted in surprise. My body seemed to be replaced with this black… substance, the substance feeling like goop against my ‘skin’. I looked at my hands, and saw that they seemed to be… detached from the goo that surrounded my arms, almost like a too big shirt, a hole in their center.

I clutched my head suddenly, feeling like information was being poured into my skull just fast enough that I got it and was not damaged, but it was still very… uncomfortable, to say the least.

“This is strange…” I muttered, looking up and noticing a strange gray door. Curious, I… moved forward, knocking on the door. There was then a whooshing sound as I felt the room thud, as if landing somewhere, and I heard a voice on the other side of the door. “Hello? Can you hear me?”

The voice stopped before I heard loud footsteps on what sounded like wood. There was then a knock at the door “Hello? I’ve never seen this door before…”

“H-hello?” I called back, trying to open the door… but it refused to do so. “Could you perhaps let me out? I seem to be trapped.” The door opened, only to slam into my face “Gah, blast! That hurt!”

The woman gasped “Oh, I’m so sorry, here, let me try a spell.” There was a slam as the door closed and it was enveloped in a pink glow “There, now I’ll just open it the other way!” The door opened in the opposite direction and I saw… a purple equine?

I decided that this was not the strangest thing I had seen today, so I simply tried a gentle smile. “Thank you, small equine.” I said, putting a hand on the edge of the door and sliding out of the room. As I did, three lights came at me, entering me and making me pause as light overtook me.

When it had faded, I blinked in surprise, seeing that, while I still appeared to be completely white, with a red circle in my right and a light blue in the left, I was wearing the trenchcoat I had gone to the lab in, and the white clothes under it, though I seemed to still be a little… goopy, my hands detached a from my arms still, so I simply had my hands float next to me as my hands were at my sides.

The equine mare looked to me curiously “What are you? I have never seen anything like you before…”

“I am a skeleton BOSS monster.” I replied, deciding to roll with what the strange memories about my current form were telling me.

The mare's eyes widened “M-monster?! But those don’t ever leave the Everfree! What are you doing in my basement?!”

“If you could be bothered to think logically, you would remember I told you I was trapped.” I said, keeping my cool.

The mare seemed to grow calm and walked to the door, then ran out of it, screaming “There’s a monster in my basement!”

I sighed, face-palming. “This will likely be an annoyance later.” I mumbled as I went up the stairs, deciding to simply wait in the living room. I blinked when I saw it was a library that the mare, from the voice, lived in, deciding to do some information gathering.

As I read a book titled ‘Equestrian history’ I heard shouting outside right before a cyan pegasus with rainbow pigmentation in her rather messy hair flew in. “I’ll take care of him!”

The purple one from before also came in, but through a door like a normal person, instead of through an open window “Wait, Rainbow Dash! What if It is dangerous?!”

“Would you mind keeping it down, I’m reading.” I said, interrupting the two, not looking up from the book in my hands. Right as I flipped the page, I found a very… scandalous book... wedged inside it.

I frowned, picking up the book of socks and looking at the lavender equine with a deadpan look on my face. “Really?” I asked.

The mare blushed a deep crimson red before mumbling “I-it was for Dashie…”

Rainbow Dash looked confused a moment, then flew over to see what book I was holding and blushed “O-oh…”

Then four other females came running in, only to see the awkward situation, and for the Yellow one to say “O-oh… My…”

Pinkie then giggled “Wowie! This is a really weird thing to walk into.”

“It certainly is.” I agreed, bringing the mares attention to me.

The orange one looked to me and raised an eyebrow “What the hay are you supposed to be?”

“I am a skeletal boss monster.” I replied calmly. “Take note, ‘monster’ is just the name of my species, not how I act.” I added, as an afterthought.

The pink one then popped out of my goopy chest “This stuff is weird! It’s all goopy and black!”

“I would not go in that, pink equine, that is void you are touching, and if you are not careful, it will consume you.” I warned, looking rather bemused at this entire situation.

She went inside me and came out from behind me, not even a little bit of the goop on her. “Ok Wingie Dingie!” I raised what counted as an eyebrow for me, amused.

“So, what happens now?” I asked, unworried.

Twilight looked to me cautiously “I’m going to get Celestia, and she is going to say what we should do.”

A purple and green dragon then came out from behind Twilight and blew fire on a scroll that she seemed to have written, only for the ashes to fly away on the wind. “Intruiging.” I commented, looking at the flames until they left, taking a mental note to study a sample later.

“Anyways, what shall we do in the meantime?” I asked, going back to reading the book now that there were no sock books in it.

Just as I finished asking my question, I was covered from head to toe in a mountain of black, lacy socks. “WHY?!” I shouted in annoyance, shooting out of the top of the sock mountain, only for a second, sweatier sock mountain to fall on me, it’s weight and density even greater.

“DAMMIT!” I shouted, deciding to just teleport out of the darn thing. “Alright, now that I am out of the randomly appearing socks, when do you think this ‘Celestia’ will get here?”

Twilight paled as a fireball began coming straight for us from a castle on a mountain “I think very soon, and I’ve never seen her this mad…”

“I wonder why she seems so angry, I have never done anything to harm any equines in my lifetime.” I commented, calm despite the fireball coming towards the wooden house. “By the way, you might want to fireproof this place magically before she gets here.”

Twilight nodded and began sweeping a magical aura over the area as the fireball got closer and closer, me getting rather uncomfortable from the scalding heat. I decided to outwardly appear calm, however, not wanting to start a fight if I could help it.

Right as the heat became unbearable, I saw that the fireball had a large white pegasus with a unicorn horn, and by large, I mean large compared to the other equines, not compared to me.

When she landed, I took the chance to ‘stand’ and walk forward to introduce myself. “Hello, you must be Celestia.” I said, holding a hand out for her to shake.

Celestia swatted my hand away and growled “Don’t talk to me, creature! I know the humans may have died out, but you should still be in Mt. Ebott!” She grabbed me with her teeth and we teleported to the top of a mountain, a whole to its innards right in front of us before she threw me in and I fell towards it.

I did not allow this, simply teleporting onto the land. “Why are you mad at monsters? We have done nothing to your kind, or the humans for that matter.” I asked, narrowing my sockets at her.

Celestia frowned and unfurled her wings “Your kind would consume the souls of my ponies to become gods. I cannot allow such barbaric creatures to live amongst my little ponies.”

“Excuse me, but have you actually met any monsters?” I asked, raising my equivalent of an eyebrow at her. “Monsters are literally made positive emotions and magic, it’s hard for one to hold a grudge, let alone want to commit genocide for power.”

Celestia nodded “But Monsters are also made of magic, which ponies need to SURVIVE.”

“I have been around those six ponies for over an hour before you got to me, in that time I could have killed them, absorbed their SOULs, and killed some random other to become a GOD if I had so desired, yet I did not.” I said. “Because monsters are simply not like that.”

Celestia sighed “I know that, but you misunderstand, I am saying that if the monster population were to grow, the magic we ponies need to survive would dwindle, until WE died out, your population is kept at a constant there, due to the resets of Mt. Ebott.”

“That is absurd.” I said, frowning. “The world would adapt to the very slow and slight strain of monsters using its magic to grow again, there would be enough for us and your ponies to survive, if anything we’d end up with more.”

Celestia looked confused “But… the humans told me… those fiends! Okay, Sir Gaster, you have my support, I give you my royal blessing to-” Just then, a black shark tooth necklace collided with my face. “What is that?”

“Just an artifact from the void.” I said dismissively, pocketing it. “Now, about breaking the Barrier, I have an idea.”

Celestia nodded “If I can help, then I will do all in my power.”

“Go and bring me the six ponies I talked to earlier.” I requested. “I will need their assistance in breaking the barrier keeping the monsters in.”

Celestia nodded and teleported away, bringing the six mares to my side about ten minutes later. “Okay, I brought them, and I explained the situation, what can we do to help?”

“Just wait a minute.” I said, bringing the black tooth out. “I call upon the slender man to help the man who speaks in hands!” I said, holding the tooth up.

Just then a man in a trench coat with bloody bandages on his hands, armed with a sword made from serrated scythe blades appeared behind me “Who calls upon the tall prince?”

“I do.” I said, ‘walking’ into his view. “I wanted to know if you would not mind assisting me in the breaking of a certain barrier.”

He thought a moment “If I get to meet Alphys and Undyne, sure. If not, still sure, but I’d be a little sad.”

“That is perfectly arrangeable.” I said, nodding. “Now, I will reveal all of your SOULs, please move them into the appropriately colored hands.” I requested, bringing the six small equines and the Slender-sapiens SOULs as I summoned the other five hands of mine.

The Slender-sapien smiled at the six mares, slightly unnerving them. “I am Greg, by the way. King of the Deer empire.”

“A fair warning.” I called out. “You may feel a little tired after this… hmmm there seems to be more energy here than I thought.” I commented, getting an idea. “If you don’t mind, I would like to restore myself to reality before we do this, we have enough energy to accomplish both acts today.”

The slender-sapien nodded, his soul crackling slightly with TV static “Oh, and I’d be careful with that aura, it’s anti-magic, dangerous stuff for monsters.”

“Good thing that extra hand is a machine then.” I replied calmly. I waited until they all had a SOUL hovering above one of my hands, before I started absorbing the power from it.

As this happened, I glowed, feeling myself become… whole, again.

“Ah, much better.” I said with a smile. “Now, onto business.” I said, putting a neutral look on my face.

I summoned a large blaster of mine in front of me, it charging a rainbow-colored light that shot forwards, smashing into and destroying the barrier. I removed my hands from the SOULs and allowed the SOULs to their rightful owners, slipping something into me when nobody was looking.

Greg smiled and gestured to the broken barrier “I think I will greet the king, my kingdom could use diplomatic ties with yet another dimension.” he then disappeared, not teleported, there was no energy consumed, it was as if he stopped existing in the blink of an eye, yet I sensed him a few miles away, in what I assume was the king's throne room.

“I will go and get the monsters prepared for their re-surfacing.” I said, turning to the hole. “Celestia, I suggest you take these six and go do the same for the ponies.”

POV switch

Greg

I appeared in the king's throne room, standing behind Asgore silently and clearing my throat “Excuse me, your highness, I would wish to speak to you.”

“Just a moment.” Asgore said. “I am watering these flowers.”

I smiled “Oh, I do love buttercups, they are quite beautiful, unlike my new body, which most would call repulsive.” I laughed “I do hope my appearance does not disturb you, your majesty.”

“Why would it do that?” He asked, turning around, not seeming shocked at all at my appearance.

I smiled “Most consider me frightening, upon first meeting me. Either that, or they see my soul and call me a horrid abomination, for my aura is… quite dangerous to any that I wish harm to. No worries for your people or you though, I am not a brute, unlike some would believe... after all, fellow rulers have to stick together, yes?”

“Agreed.” He said, smiling. “Would you like some tea?” He asked.

I nodded “I do adore tea, as long as it is made without caffeine, that stuff makes me even more excitable than my brother, Bob, and he is a chaos being.”

“I would imagine that is rather excitable.” Asgore agreed, walking out of the room with me following. He lead me to NEW HOME, before stopping at the living room.

“Wait here just a moment.” He said, disappearing into the kitchen.

POV Switch

W.D. Gaster.

I floated down the hole, the Princess having taken my suggestion. I felt a strong source of DETERMINATION stirring under me, telling me Frisk was just waking up.

“Good morning, Frisk.” I said in amusement, standing next to her.

Frisk looked to me in shock “Y-you? But I haven’t entered a Gaster timeline…”

“I have been restored to my former glory by the wonderful new occupants of the surface world.” I explained calmly and with a smile. “Now, I believe you wanted to save the prince, correct?”

Frisk nodded desperately “I have tried everything I could think of, short of giving him my soul, but… he refused to take it from me… What should I do, Gaster? I don’t want him to be alone anymore…”

“Don’t worry, little one.” I said with a gentle smile, reaching my hand out, the red one, making what I slipped earlier appear… a red SOUL. “I have that covered, all we need to do now is get to the other end of the underground for the other six, and we can restore the prince.”

Frisk leapt at me and gave me a tight hug “Oh thank you so much!” She then gasped “Oh, Sans and Papyrus will be so happy to see you!”

“We must not keep them waiting then.” I said, reabsorbing the SOUL, holding her with one arm. “Shall we do a ‘speed run’?”

Frisk looked doubtful “Umm… do you think… we could convince Toriel to come with us? I don’t want to make her sad, if we tell her what has happened, she might just come with us!”

“That is a wonderful idea Frisk.” I said, smiling. “Let’s go bring the prince in on this plan, shall we? We need to make sure he’s there to be saved, after all.”

Frisk nodded sadly “If… if he even comes… he’s been ignoring me lately, except for where he absolutely has to talk to me for the resets to function properly…”

“Why is that?” I asked as I carried her towards the doorway.

She sniffled “I think Flowey still holds part of Asriel in there… and Asriel got mad at me for offering him my soul… but everyone would be so much happier with him than me… and… I don’t deserve to be happy… I listened to Chara…”

“Frisk.” I said firmly, giving her a disappointed look. “Never talk about yourself like that again, everyone makes mistakes… and besides, all your RESETting has actually been of benefit, the new beings on the surface are a little… skittish, but much more understanding of different beings.”

She looked to me sadly “I know… I saw that the village I was in fell, I saw the new villages come up, and the trains… I knew that something not human had made them… I don’t know how I feel about being the last Human…”

“Think of it this way, Frisk.” I said. “There are no more bigoted humans to threaten the monster race.”

She smiled “I’d be happy to tell Sans I was done Resetting… maybe he’d actually smile at me again… everyone who remembers the resets is so mad at me, because I refuse to let Asriel keep on like this, it… it’s just not right!”

“Do not worry, if you want I will destroy your RESET button after this in a way that will still let you LOAD things on the surface… just in case.” I said. “Now, let’s go save some monsters.” I added, entering Floweys ‘meeting’ room.

Flowey came up and looked at Frisk before huffing, about to leave before he saw me “Hey, wait… you don’t belong here.” He crossed his leaves “What’s happening here, Frisk? I thought smiley trashbags dad was lost to the void in the Omega Timeline.”

“There are new occupants on the surface that have provided me assistance in returning to my former self, prince.” I said. “With their help I have the key to restoring you to yourself and stopping the resets… permanently.”

Flowey raised an eye petal “Really? Huh… and here I thought that I’d have to steal Frisks determination to stop the Resets, now something new happens.”

“That is not necessary.” I said. “Now, if you would please go wait by your father for us to get there, we should be there soon.”

Flowey nodded “Don’t have to tell me twice, tired of getting blasted.” He then disappeared beneath the ground as Toriel came through the doorway.

“Hello, Toriel.” I greeted, smiling.

Toriel gasped “D-Dr. Gaster?! I thought you had died?”

Frisk smiled “The surface has changed! They brought him back and sent him here to break the barrier!”

Toriel looked to me suspiciously “You have seven human souls?”

“No.” I said, shaking my head. “But I know that your… husband has six, and I have a single one that was given.”

Toriel winced at the mentioning of Asgore, as if even mentioning they had been an item had hurt her or made her physically ill, then nodded slowly “And… why is this child with you?”

Frisk quickly came up with a story “I’m the last human, I want to see my people's sins undone.”

“Yes, there are no more humans on this surface.” I agreed, not missing a beat. “It has been taken over by equines, surprisingly.”

Toriel looked surprised “Huh, well, at least it’s not snails, I’d have to change my diet completely.”

Frisk smiled “I love escargot and snail pie, personally, it would be a massive change as well.”

Toriel then smiled “Well, let’s go see… him, then, we’ll have to go through Snowdin, Waterfall and Hotland, I swear, he never gets any better at naming things…”

“Well, I think I could teleport us all to at least Snowdin.” I said. “Besides, I need to see my sons again.”

Toriel nodded “And I would love to meet that hilarious sentry who I have been sharing puns with.”

I smirked, but said nothing, simply putting a hand on her shoulder and teleporting us all to just outside the RUINs entrance.

Author's Notes:

Double posties!

We started walking down the pathway, only for a familiar silhouette to begin following us, getting closer as we progressed. The silhouette then paused, as if confused “Hello?” The familiar voice said “Who's there?”

“Greetings, Sans.” I called, idly putting Frisk down. “It has been a long time.”

Sans gasped “D-dad? But… you were stuck in the void, this is the wrong timeline, and… wait…” He looked to Toriel before whispering in my ear holes “What is Tori doing here, she never leaves the ruins with Frisk! I’ve seen the timelines, nothing good ever comes of this!”

“I have a plan.” I whispered back. “Do not worry, this is a very new timeline, it will be alright, for now, how about we go get your brother?”

Sans nodded warily “Hope you know what you're doing…” he then looked to Frisk “Wanna go get a bite to eat kid? I think Grillbys is open, and I think that Goat-geaous lady over there needs some new clothes.”

Toriel blushed “Oh my, well aren’t you the flatterer?” She then paused “Hey! You must be the knock knock jokes guy!”

“You three have fun. I will come for you after retrieving Papyrus.” I said, walking into the next area.

The bridge was easy to cross, as the bars were too wide apart to bar entry. I then came upon Sans’s post, to which I saw Papyrus waiting impatiently “Bah, where is that lazybones! I swear, if I, the great Papyrus wasn’t here to check up on him, he’d freeze in the snow.”

“Papyrus, that is no way to talk about your brother.” I called with mock scolding, smiling.

Papyrus gasped and turned to me “Father? Nyeh! It is you! Oh, father I have missed you so!” I simply gave him a warm smile, holding my arms out for a hug. Papyrus tackled me and hugged me eagerly “Nyeheheh! I have missed you so much! Where have you been? Every time I would ask, Sans would go to Grillby’s and get drunk on ketchup!”

“I have been… away, getting help.” I said, carefully picking my words. “The humans are next to no more on the surface, there's a new, much nicer, race above, and they have provided me with the means to help us break the barrier and free everyone.”

Papyrus looked ecstatic “That means I don’t have to hunt humans anymore?! Nyeheheh! I can report to Undyne that my job is complete, without getting her upset or hurting anyone!”

“Tell her to get Alphys and meet us at the Capital, Papyrus, and go with them, we will meet you there.” I instructed.

Papyrus nodded ecstatically and ran to get Undyne, making sure his cape fluttered dramatically as he ran “Nyeheheh!”

Greg then appeared behind me “Gaster, we have a problem.”

“What is it?” I asked.

Greg sighed “From what I gathered, a powerful chaos being named Discord is about to break free on the surface, he is essentially a lv 14 chaos based monster. I don’t know how he’ll effect the monsters, maybe I could fight him, keep him busy until he can be sealed again?”

“Please, do so, I need to ‘break the barrier’ for the monsters down here and revive the Prince correctly, when I am done I will come to assist you… I am now glad I did not truly break it on the surface, only make it keep things out instead, it will buy me time.” I said, a thoughtful frown on my face.

Greg nodded “I can probably handle him, I have fought his female counterpart back in my dimension. Just letting you know, I don’t want any of my new allies people getting hurt from me not doing my due diligence.” he then disappeared again.

I smiled, teleporting to Grillby’s before walking in. I looked around a little, before finding that Sans and Toriel were sitting at a booth with Frisk. They were laughing merrily, Sans telling joke after joke as the entire room positively died laughing. Sans saw me and smiled “Oh, hey dad, what’s up?”

“It is time to go.” I said simply. “It is almost ready, do you know a… shortcut, to the capital, son?”

Sans grinned “Who do you think you’re talking to?” He then had his eye flare to life as we were suddenly standing in the capitals throne room, everyone in the bar and every resident of Snowdin with us. “That good?”

“Yes, thank you son.” I said, smiling. “I sense Asgore in the other room, you all wait here and I will come back when it is time.” I said, turning and walking out of the back of the throne room, before pausing in the archway. “Actually, Frisk, would you like to come?”

Frisk nodded eagerly “Yes! I wanna be there!”

She followed me to the throne room to find Greg talking to Asgore “You’ll want to create as many magical barriers guarding this area as possible, if I fail for whatever reason, we cannot allow Discord to influence your people, he will turn them into creatures of Hate and Anti-Magic, purely caustic beings.”

“Hello, King, Greg.” I said, smiling, leading Frisk here with my red hand held in theirs.

Greg turned to me and smiled with a concerned look on his face “You ready for this, old man? Cause we have a chaos god to fight… and I can’t bring my siblings here to help. He’s still recovering from the last fight.”

“Of course.” I said, before turning to Asgore. “King, may I have the SOULs to help me in this endeavour?” I requested.

Asgore nodded grimly “I guess, we have no need for them, as we are free now…’ he sighed before laughing darkly “All this blood on my hands… for nothing.”

“Think of it this way my king, they will still be used to protect your people.” I said, giving a reassuring smile.

Greg nodded “And I swear, they will not be used in vain.” Greg then was covered in armor from head to toe, seeming to be a weapon in body form, with that same sword in hand.

“Go, I will meet you there when I have the SOULs.” I told Greg.

Greg nodded and disappeared as I heard a massive crash that shook the entire mountain. I frowned, teleporting to the room the SOULs were in, and threw my arm forward, the hands without a corresponding SOUL flying forward and taking one the same color as the circle in their center, before bringing the SOULs back to me, making me glow.

When the glow had faded, I felt… stronger, conjuring a mirror to examine myself in.

Flowey then came up through the ground “Well? Come on, I gotta help fight this Discord guy, right?”

“I did not forget about you, prince.” I said, concentrating. The SOULs around my form dimmed for a second, before glowing brighter than ever, a rainbow colored SOUL appearing in between my hands.

“Here, this should give you almost as much power as I currently have, it is all I could spare without crippling the both of us in the fight, take on your first hyperdeath form with this.” I told the Flower, handing the SOUL to him.

Flowey sent out a vine tendril and grabbed it as he glowed before becoming his hyperdeath self “Ah, feels good to have this without having to fight Frisk.” He then smiled at Frisk “I guess you get the best of both worlds, ey, buddy?”

“Enough talk, we need to take down a chaos being.” I said, turning to Frisk. “You stay here and help keep the monsters stay DETERMINED, alright?”

Frisk nodded and ran back towards the monsters as a second crash was heard, the mountain shaking even harder as I heard an unnatural cry of bloodthirsty rage. And a voice rung in my mind “YOU SHALL NOT HARM THESE PEOPLE! THEY HATH SUFFERED ENOUGH!”

“We need to go help him, now.” I stressed, snapping my fingers to teleport us outside, what we saw was a series of burning craters in the mountainside from which the barrier could be seen, and a massive armored Greg , his own body almost half the size of the mountain, was fighting to keep Discord at bay, Fighting for the monsters as he let loose another bloodcurdling roar. “I shall leave naught but dust as thy remains, cur!” He said as he swung his sword at an equally massive Discord.

“It appears our… current size is inadequate for this battle.” I commented, turning to Asriel. “Shall we make this a more… even, battle?”

Asriel nodded before he began to grow larger and larger, eventually matching Greg and Discords size, Greg looked to Asriel “Young prince, do not look into his eyes, he can turn your nature against itself!”

Asriel grunted an affirmative before summoning his chaos sabers and engaging in the battle.

I smirked as I grew to match the others, summoning my hands and staying back. I sent the yellow one forward, it firing off multiple yellow blasts at the chaos beast while he was occupied with my allies.

Discord laughed as he looked to me, the blasts stopping in mid air before turning and returning to me at high speed.

I narrowed my sockets, throwing my hand to the side, the green hand taking that as its cue to summon it’s shield around me, the blasts dissipating harmlessly against it.

Greg held out his hand to Asriel “Care for a tag team attack?”

Asriel nodded “Let’s do it.”

Greg then disappeared with Asriel, appearing right behind Discord as they slashed out with their swords, the two of them dealing MASSIVE damage to the chaos being. “Gaaaaahhhhh!” Discord then slashed out at them with his eagle talons, only for them to not be there as they reappeared at my side.

Greg sighed “I think I’m going to have to finish this… this is going to really hurt...” He then let black tendrils come out of the back of his armor as he went behind Discord again, grabbing him with them and wrapping him up in them until he was wrapped up in an orb of black antimagic energy. The orb then began to shrink, until he was his normal size inside the orb. “Girls! Get the elements!”

Just then, there was a massive explosion of rainbow colored energy as Discord, still being restrained by the slendrils, was turned to stone. Greg then released him and fell to his knees as the harmonic energy washed over him, causing him to cry out in pain as the harmonic energies burned him.

I reacted quickly, sending my hands to him to absorb the harmonic energy from Greg.

Greg shuddered as the pain wracked his body and the armor fell off of him, smoking and melting into his shadow “Guh… I tell ya, being a being who is based in negative emotions does not make harmonic energy feel good…”

Asriel looked to Greg in confusion “You are based in negativity? But you have been nothing but benign.”

Greg grinned “It’s because I have determination, my friend, that I do not submit to my instincts to harvest hatred and fear. You should see me when someone hurts my siblings.”

“Excuse me, but I believe that the ponies are getting… nervous about our current size, we should continue this conversation in our smaller forms.” I commented calmly.

Greg and Asriel nodded, Greg looking quite relieved to get smaller. As he shrunk, his under armour morphed back into his default clothing. He then looked to Mt. Ebott “Think we should let them know it’s safe now?”

“It would be wise.” I said, now in my ‘normal’ instead of ‘god’ form. “Besides, you have not yet met Undyne and Alphys, correct?”

Greg nodded “Yeah, I haven’t… Guh, anyone have an unused building, or archway? I need to make a gateway from here to the Deer kingdom, so my wife can handle the diplomatic stuff, luckily Asgore was understanding that I am more the military side of our government.”

“I am sure that you can use something from the RUINs, I imagine its occupants will not be living there much longer.” I said, thinking. “Maybe the first archway where the humans truly entered the Underground?”

Greg nodded “Better idea than what I was thinking. I was going to use a doorway somewhere, maybe Toriels old place.” He then held out his hands to us “Wanna take a shortcut?”

“We should be getting to the monsters, we will meet you in the throne room after you are done making the portal.” I said, idly noticing Asriel was back to his child form.

Greg nodded and was gone in an instant, us now in the throne room, seemingly taken to there by Greg while he was on his way over to the RUINs. I rolled the pinpricks of light that served as my eyes, walking over to Frisk, Asgore and Toriel.

“The situation has been handled.” I told them.

Asgore smiled in relief at seeing us, and even more when he heard our news, he then saw Asriel “S-son? Is that you?”

Toriel looked to Asriel as well, seeming to be so awestruck that she just stood there crying.

Ariel smiled weakly “H-hi mom, hi dad…”

Asgore hugged him tight before breaking down crying “H-how? I saw you die!”

Toriel joined the hug, not even caring about Asgore being there. “I don’t care how it’s possible, I just care that your back with us!”

Frisk then smiled sadly as she looked to me, before she started to sneak away. Curious, I left the family to their happy moment, following Frisk. “You know.” I started conversationally. “There is one more person left to SAVE, if you wish.”

She looked to me curiously “Wh-who? I don’t remember anyone else…” She then looked to me “I don’t think Sans would want me around the other monsters, not with Chara still inside me. It gets hard… hearing her all the time...”

“I can… restore Chara to a previous state.” I started carefully. “But I will need to take some of your DETERMINATION to do so, since Chara is currently attached to your SOUL.”

Frisk looked to me uncertainly “H-how will I know that she won’t try to kill the non-monsters… she was always really protective of them…”

“I will be taking her LV, she will be harmless.” I said. “That is, if she proves to be… untrustworthy, I will only resort to that if taking away the corruption the void has done to her does not work first.”

Frisk nodded “O-ok… do it. I don’t care if it hurts or not. Toriel deserves her children back.”

“This may feel like you are being ripped in two.” I said, summoning the seven hands around Frisk. “Please, attempt not to scream, I do not wish to cause a scene.”

Frisk nodded and I took this as my cue to have the seven hands send ethereal cables the same color as the circle in the center, wrapping around Frisk, and started pulling.

Frisk grunted in pain, but did not scream, it seemed that every drop of determination in her body was being used to help me with this, as if she was dedicating her entire being to saving Chara… this child really is too pure.

I let out a grunt of effort as Frisk flew off to the right, a familiar form flying off to the left, the two crashing into the wall on opposite ends of the room, bringing everyone’s attention to us.

As Frisk coughed from the dust kicked up by her collision, she looked to the wall opposite her and saw… Chara Dreemur.

Chara smiled sadly as she looked to me “I see you removed my hate? You do know that that and my determination was most of what held me together, yeah?”

“You might want to check your SOUL.” I commented, smirking.

Chara looked to her Soul, and saw that it was a light red, not quite pink, but still lighter than Frisks usual blood red of Determination. “Huh… will you look at that…” She then looked to Frisk, and seemed to instantly be overtaken with a feeling of guilt.

I saw where she was looking, taking a glance at Frisk, sending the green hand to help her up. “It was thanks to her… generous donation of DETERMINATION that you may exist without HATE in you, princess.”

Chara chuckled “You know, I always hated being called that, made me feel kind of stuck up, you know? Still… I wonder if Mom and Dad would still accept me? Do I even still count?”

“Well, how about we find out?” I suggested, picking Chara up, their new body weak from just being created, cradling her as I walked towards the trio of goat monsters.

Asgore looked to me and gasped “Ch-chara too? How, Gaster?! How have you managed these absolute miracles?”

“Seven human SOULs is equal to a GOD, my king.” I said, smiling softly. “I simply used that new title to it’s fullest effect.”

It was then that Greg came into the throne room, accompanied by a man in a trench coat with long black hair and green skin, a Deer woman who was stunningly beautiful holding a baby Deer, and a strange creature I did not recognize. Greg smiled and waved to me “Greetings, friends! I have brought some of my people to celebrate your freedom!”

Author's Notes:

T-t-t-t-triple post!

The Green man pulled out a massive cartoonish mallet and smashed it down on the ground, creating a shockwave that made a party spring up from nothingness. He smiled as he kept on going, making the party bigger and bigger until it was large enough a setup for the entire kingdom. “I have one question for you, monster kind,” He grinned as he spread his arms wide “Can you out party Bob?”

Greg then facepalmed “My brother the drama queen…”

“Yes… it appears so.” I commented dryly, unamused, before turning to the trio of goats. “If you three don’t mind, I’ll be taking Chara and Frisk to somewhere they can rest.”

Toriel nodded happily “Okay, Gaster, I will be eager to speak with you after the celebrations are over.”

Greg smiled and bowed to Toriel and Asgore “It is good to meet the rulers of Monster kind, I hope our two kingdoms flourish.”

The Deer woman then giggled as her baby looked to Asriel and smiled before holding his hands out to him “I think Arvir wants to make a friend.”

Asriel smiled and tickled the baby's feet before noticing his wildly differing eyes. “Why are his eyes different from each other?”

Greg smiled “One of them glow when he uses my powers, the one with black veins and red coloration. His mother's magic makes the normal green one glow.”

I smiled, using this chance to sneak away from the party, grabbing Friks on my way out and going down the hall, to NEW HOME, going to what was Asriel and Charas room, setting Frisk and Chara into bed.

I then remembered I was going to introduce Greg to Undyne and Alphys, going back to the party to do so, only to find Greg was sitting with his son on his lap, feeding him a bottle of milk as he rubbed his son's belly.

“I see you two seem to be having fun.” I commented as I walked up to them, hands clenched together behind my back.

Greg smiled and nodded “Arvir loves drinking milk, he loves dairy almost as much as I love tea. You should see him when we give him cheese, he gets so excited, it’s adorable.”

“I will have to decline, I am just here to introduce you to Alphys and Undyne, I am not much of a party ‘person’.” I said calmly.

Greg nodded “Me neither, I prefer a nice quiet night at home with the family, maybe a spar or two to keep the skills sharp.” he then stood up as he held ARvir over his shoulder, the boy having finished his bottle. “So, where are the two potential lovebirds?”

“This way.” I said, spinning on my heel and walking to where I sensed them.

Greg followed me until he saw them, them both seeming to feel awkward around each other, and not knowing what to say. Greg smiled and looked to Alphys “You know, I have heard that you are the royal scientist of the monster kingdom. I have brought my head scientist, in hopes of the two of you forming a friendship, he does love discussing magic and machines.”

“T-that sounds g-great.” Alphys stuttered, shifting nervously.

Greg smiled as Alphys waddled over to him “Here’s a picture of him, you can’t mis him, he’s the only Gremlin here.” As Alphys waddled off in the direction Greg pointed her towards, Greg turned to Undyne and smiled “How are you? My name is Greg, I am king of the Deer empire. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

“Pleasure to meet ya!” She exclaimed loudly, smirking.

Arvir smiled as he looked at Undyne “Funny fishie lady!”

Greg frowned and booped his nose. “No, that is rude.”

Arvir wiggled his nose before scrunching up his face in thought “Funny Lady?”

Greg sighed “I am sorry, my son is trying to be friendly.”

“Nah, it’s cool.” Undyne said, shrugging it off.

Greg then smiled mischeviously “I have heard you like anime, is this true? I have collected a few quality pieces of work that are quite humorous. Although my personal favorite has to do with an alternate dimensions view of monsters, so I doubt you would like that one.” He said cautiously, not wanting her to get too excited

“Sure, what cha got?!” She exclaimed, smiling widely, showing her sharp piranha like teeth.

He opened up a small portal “Let me just empty my old shelf… it’s not like I have any use for it anymore.” He then widened the portal and walked through it before walking out with a full trash bag of Disc boxes “here you go, I recommend you watch ‘Bleach’, ‘Katekyo Hitman Reborn’, and maybe ‘Is This A Zombie? Of The Dead.’ They are all quite good, and I own the entire series up to before… well, before I became this.” he then gestured to his body.

“I’ll do that.” Undyne said, taking the bag and walking off.

Greg then walked after her for a second, telling her about the archway in the RUINs before coming back “Want to see how Alphys is doing? As you are a scientist as well, I would like for you to make friends with Praximus as well.”

“I should go watch Frisk and Chara, I do not want one of my sons to try and preemptively remove Chara before she is a problem.” I said calmly.

Greg nodded before walking off, Arvir waving to me from over his father's shoulder. I smiled, waving back before teleporting back to where Frisk and Chara were.

Sans was sitting there, staring at Chara with a torn expression on his skull “Hey dad, how’s the party? Is it a ‘rib-tickling’ good time?”

I chuckled, sitting next to him. “I would not know, I did not stay long enough… what is troubling you, son?” I asked, putting a hand on his shoulder.

He sighed “I know that Chara is not bad anymore… hell, she wasn’t ever really bad, just misguided… but… after what Frisk told me, the one time she ever listened to her… she ran to my place, and was crying her eyes out before she…Let’s just say she forced a reset in the most painful way possible.”

“That is…” I paused, finding my words. “That is… I cannot find the correct words to describe it… are the two of them alright?” I asked.

Sans nodded grimly “They are better than they have been in a long time, dad, thanks to you and Greg.” He then sighed “You know, I think Paps was getting close to figuring out what was going on… the Resets, the way we both seemed so… tired. I think he knew something was up.”

“It is nothing to worry about now, Frisk no longer has the DETERMINATION to RESET son.” I assured, smiling softly at him.

Sans nodded “And, I guess I was a lucky one out of the other Sanses out there, in the multiverse… I get to live happily ever after, and really live it.” He laughed “I never even had to lose Paps, but… I worried, every time she reset, I was paralyzed with fear that this would be it, this would be the time that I lost him.” He began to tear up. “I know you went through so much worse dad, but… it was hard, not telling anyone.”

“Shush, my son.” I said, hugging him. “Everything is alright now, this is a more peaceful world, we will not have to deal with anything like that.”

Sans hugged me back and wept silently “I never thought that a Timeline like this would be real.”

He then looked to Frisk and got up, tucking her in gently “Ya did it kid, ya saved everyone.”

“She would have eventually.” I said, smiling and going to tuck Chara in. “She was DETERMINED enough.”

?☟✌?❄☜☼ ☞⚐?☼

I walked out of the room with Chara and Frisk in it, deciding to check on how the party was going. It had been a couple hours, so I was hoping it had died down a little.

I teleported into the room with the party, sighing when I saw it hadn’t died down at all.

Bob, who was sitting with Undyne and Alphys, was laughing loudly. “I’m serious, I can turn into a mask, and give a freaking power boost to whoever wears me!” He then looked to Greg and smiled “Wanna show them, bro?”

Greg was sitting off to the side, seeming to know where this was going, he had handed his son to a very endowed Deer woman, whom I assume was his partner, as he kissed her briefly before walking to his brother “Sure thing.”

Bob then grabbed his hand and turned into a green mask with a spiked nose guard and burnt rope for hair. Greg put on the mask and was overtaken by a flash of light before he was again visible, now in a green jerkin and armed with a strange staff. He took a bow and looked to Undyne as he grew a wooden helm topped with Deer antlers.

“Interesting.” I commented as I walked over to them.

Greg nodded “I agree, I have been trying to get Bob to let Praximus take a sample of our magic in this form, but Bob refuses, and I do not want to force him.”

“I imagine it’d be an… interesting, sample to study.” I said.

“How about a fight?” Undyne asked.

Greg looked to Prax “You have the sparring spell ready?”

Prax huffed “Do you really need to ask? I’ve had it ready since an hour ago.”

Greg nodded “Okay, let’s decide a time and place. You have any preference, Undyne? Maybe somewhere that Alphys can see? I’m sure she’d love to see you at work.”

“Any field should do.” Undyne said, smiling widely. “Let’s do this!”
Greg nodded and held out a hand to Undyne “Anyone want to come with? I have no problem taking passengers when I slenderwalk. Think of it as a shortcut with passenger seats.”

Prax smiled and grabbed onto me “You know I wanna see this, I love seeing you two fight, reminds me of my glory days!”

“Let us go, this will certainly be interesting.” I said.

Greg nodded and let out a tendril from his back, which wrapped around my hand gently. “Let’s go.” We were then instantly in a field of flowers, not just buttercups, but a veritable plethora of flower species, each glowing different colors. “I think this will be a nice location for our fight, you ready to cast the spell, Praximus?”

Prax nodded and took out what looked like a massive pole with various antennae coming out of it’s back “Okay, Once I plant this sucker, you can go all out, no holding back, cause as long as this things nearby, you can’t stay dead!”

“They don’t call me Undyne the Undying for nothing.” Undyne said, smiling widely, summoning a spear as Prax rammed the spearhead into the ground, the antennae pulsing with magic as I felt a tingling sensation overtake me.

Greg was suddenly behind Undyne and swept her legs out from under her, ramming his fist into her spine and sending her flying into a tree in the distance. As she went flying, she sent a trio of spears at Greg, who simply let his aura flare to life as the spears neared him. The spears stopping in mid air and flickering out of existence.

Undyne looked to Greg in surprise “What the hell was that?!”

Greg laughed “Antimagic aura, I can negate almost any spell or magic projectile sent at me.”

Undyne grunted as she thought for a moment, Greg not moving. Undyne then looked to Greg “Wait, how come you aren’t attacking me?”

Greg shrugged “I outclass you pretty hard, might as well give you a free hit.”

Undyne narrowed her eyes angrily “The hell you say?!”

Greg looked unamused “I outclass you. I am a 4th dimensional being, I am the military leader of a nation who has the Dragon and Changeling empires out to kill us. I fight to the death on a daily basis.”

Undyne did not seem to take this lightly, summoning hundreds of spears and throwing them at him all at once.

Greg did nothing to stop them, allowing them to strike him, only for them to break upon contact with his skin, he then grabbed a spear from mid air and began to… change it, the spear becoming black and white in equal parts, I could feel the conflicting emotions in his magic, hatred burning for those that would hurt his people, and love for his family. It was a miracle that his magic was not tearing him apart, with how much hate and love was inside him. But then I saw it, that little core of Determination... It held him together, stabilized him, and kept the hate and love from fighting for dominance. “I may not be a monster,” he laughed darkly “But I know prejudice all too well.”

“I would like a try.” I called, calmly walking forward.

Greg looked to me simply “Sure. Want me to finish fighting Undyne, or leave it to MERCY?”

“Undyne knows when she is beaten.” I said, Undyne grumbling a little as she walked off to the side.

Greg nodded and let the spear he had grabbed go, it being absorbed into his staff, turning it black and white as well. “Are you ready?”

I summoned my hands, nodding.

Greg then slammed his staff on the ground, roots tearing out of the ground and wrapping around my legs as he was suddenly in front of me. He then slapped me with the back of his hand hard enough to send me flying out of the roots and through a tree. He then took a combat stance, certain that that was not all it took.

He was proven right by the sounds of my blasters about to fire coming from behind him, not turning quite in time for them to shoot at him.

He flared his aura to life, the aura stopping most of the blast, but still letting in enough for him to take considerable damage. He smiled and took out a large canteen“I came prepared.” He then drank a swig from it, and the scratches on his body healed themselves as he grunted, seems his body still let him feel the pain.

“You said that you have killed before.” I commented, appearing, fully healed. “I believe that you know of ‘karmic retribution’, correct?”

Greg looked to me blankly “I killed to protect my family, I did not do it for fun. I carry these sins on my soul, yes.”

“It does not matter the why for karmic retribution, only that you have done so.” I said with a smile, summoning more blasters, these with the ability in them. “Oh, and don’t expect that shield to work… no invincibility frames, after all.” I added off handedly, firing them all at once at him, only for him to not be there when the beams reached him.

Greg laughed “Do you plan on giving retribution to Asgore as well? He killed children. Or how about the various different AUs?”

“I am not the judge, that is my sons job.” I said calmly. “However, I did make these for that exact… position, of his, so I can still use them to equal effect.”

Greg looked to me curiously “Are you saying, that you would show mercy to someone who threatened Sans and Paps?”

“Now that… I didn’t know.” I growled, left eye going blue, and the right red. I said nothing, merging my seven hands into two larger ones.

Greg laughed “You see, we aren’t so different after all.”

“I never said we were.” I said simply, launching the hands forward, both red as they fired a dark beam with a red outline.

Greg dodged the beams with great difficulty “Then why are you so determined to fight me? I simply said that those I had killed threatened my subjects and family.”

“At first, it was simple scientific curiosity, but what with that implied threat towards my sons… well, I never did say we were different, after all.” I said, one hand turning teal and sending strings that trapped him as the other blasted him.

He responded by sending out a blast of pure antimagic, the burst rocketing through my red hand and dispelling my blast, the hand falling as it broke. “Sorry, but I don’t plan on losing.” He then grabbed the strings and swung my hand through the air, using it as a weapon against me as my hand collided with me.

I grunted as I used the SOULs power within me to catch the hand, using it to repair the other… and summon five other giant ones. I made them all a different color, coming in a circle in front of me and firing off a pure white beam with a red outline, much stronger than the black and red beam from earlier.

Greg slenderwalked again after slicing the threads, appearing behind me and kicking me in my pelvis “Fighting dirty is more my brothers thing, I apologize, he would not shut up about kicking you there.”

I simply smirked as a farting sound went through the air, bringing out a whoopee cushion and waving as blasters sounded out from all above us, the spectators gone as I teleported myself and the hands away.

Greg then was right next to me “What ya looking at?” he then laughed and grabbed me by the face, sliding down the mountain while using me as a snowboard. “This is actually a funny idea, Bob.”

The ‘me’ he was holding suddenly fell apart, revealing it to be a decoy as blasts hit him before he could teleport away. “Aw shit.”

Greg sighed and got up, us both being at the spear, where we were right before the fight started. “Good fight.”

“Yes, very.” I said, restoring my hands to normal and putting them away. “It was… interesting.”

Prax then came forward, looking highly uncomfortable “Ummm… boss… I think there’s a problem at Mt. Ebott. You see, I kinda broadcast the fight to the monsters, and they saw you fight. They are concerned about your magic.”

“Why would you do that?” I asked, facepalming. “What, exactly are they concerned about?”

Prax scratched the back of his head “The hate and love in your magic… and how they don’t fight for control.” He then shrugged “I can’t really tell them how, as you never explained it to me.”

Greg then looked to me “You want me to tell them? I know exactly how it works.”

“Go ahead, best to deal with it now before a panic happens.” I said.

Greg nodded “Let’s go then, see you there? Or you wanna go there together?” he then held out his hand “I could take us there right away.”

“I do not care.” I said, shrugging and teleporting.

As we arrived, Greg was suddenly approached by a very worried looking Alphys “H-Hi… I was wondering...could you… tell me what you are?”

Greg smiled sadly “I am a slendersapien, think of me as the thing that was made to hunt humans, basically, funny thing though... I used to be one.”

Alphys looked confused “Y-you… used to be human?” It was then that she registered the rest of what he said “Y-you hunt humans?!”

Greg shook his head “No, that is what I was made for, not what I do. Big difference.” He then sighed as Asgore and Toriel, as well as the rest of the major monsters, approached, looking for an explanation, luckily Undyne had been a passenger with Greg. “Let’s see, let’s start at the beginning, yeah? I was a human, going to a convention, planning to just have fun, then… I bought something I really shouldn’t have.”

Papyrus raised his hand “What do you mean by that?”

Greg smiled sadly “I bought something from a vendor that displaced me, I woke up in a room that was nothing but pure TV static, and was then eaten by a creature who to this day I have no idea what it really looks like. I woke up, and my human body was gone. I was this abomination. Twenty times sturdier than the average human, able to do things no normal human could. I then just lived my life, eventually meeting Rose and marrying her.
Eventually, I became the military leader of the Deer Empire, as well, by that time, the Dragons and the Changelings declared war with us, and tried to assassinate my family. It was then that I let hate into my heart. I will never forgive them for endangering my family like that. If I find them, I will kill them, there is no swaying me on this.”

“I think that was a satisfactory explanation.” I said, looking at the gathered monsters.

Greg then looked to Rose, who was holding a rather fussy Arvir, Greg smiled “Now as for why the Hate does not overtake my love, have you seen this little stinkbug?” he held out Arvir, who farted before giggling and blowing a raspberry. “I love him and my wife just as much, if not more, than I hate those who would try to hurt them.” He then looked to Asgore and smiled hopefully “I hope the nature of my magic does not change our diplomatic ties?”

“Of course not, if it did, we would be no better than the humans that had sealed us away.” Asgore said.

Greg nodded before he looked to Asriel and kneeled down “Now, little prince, how would you like to see something cool?”

Asriel smiled “Sure! I love cool things!”

Greg then put a hand on his face and removed his mask, the jerkin and helm turning to ash and blowing away on an unseen breeze as he threw up the mask into the air, Bob materializing from it and doing a triple flip before landing neatly on his feet. “Tada!”

“Very interesting.” I said, looking at them with a scrutinizing gaze.

Bob looked to me with a curious look “What’s with the look? I feel like I’m about to be studied for science…”

Rose looked to Bob with a disapproving glare “Don’t talk to the beings we are opening diplomatic relations with that way, or I will not let you have any of Arvirs cake.”

Bob looked absolutely horrified at this, as if he was threatened with months of torture. “No! I love birthday cake!”

I snickered in amusement at this. “No, you shall have regular cake only.” I said sarcastically.

Bob fell to his knees “NOOOOOOOOOO! I love the specialness of it!”

Greg pinched his brothers cheeks so that they stretched comically, then released them with a loud slapping sound “Stop it. We have work to do.” He then looked to Prax, who was looking to Undyne as if he wanted a turn to spar “Prax, do you want to spar as well?”

Prax nodded, stretching a little bit “Yeah, let me just bring out Gracie, she’s been wanting some action lately.” Greg shrugged as Prax pulled out a quartet of poles from his bag and connected their ends, creating a small portal that he stepped into, before coming out with a pair of gauntlets and a backpack, them hooked up together, and a large heavy gatling gun, he then put on the gauntlets and backpack, before picking up the gun with an ease that seemed impossible for someone as old and small as him. “Who wants to spar with an old fogey?”

“I WILL!” Undyne cried, wanting to get back some honor from losing earlier, looking eager.

Prax smiled “Well, okay, let me just reset the respawn point. Don’t want to wake up as some freaky mix of us and Greg or Gaster…”

“That would be unfortunate.” I agreed.

Bob snickered and whispered to me “I’d love to see how Alphys reacts to seeing Undyne get beat up by an old man.”

Prax then walked calmly to the rod in the ground and opened a panel in it’s side, pressing a button that was unveiled. “There we go, ready to fight? I’d love to get a sample of your magic by the way, it always helps to get non- neutral soul magic to study.”

“LESS TALKING, MORE SPARRING!” Undyne exclaimed, summoning her spear.

Prax nodded and pulled the trigger on his gun, sending a blast of green magic at Undyne, making her wounds disappear “Would not due to fight unfairly, you had some hp missing.” He then smiled and flicked a switch quickly on his gun and it began firing a steady stream of flying magical projectiles, them colliding with her spear and freezing it to her hand “Let the fun begin, eh?”

“Alright!” She shouted, summoning a couple hundred spears all around him, showing no mercy as she launched them forward.

Prax smiled and fired again after flipping another switch, a small dome forming around him and absorbing the magic from the spears, before turning it into a small avatar of energy, with Prax in control as the avatar grabbed Undyne and threw her into the air before leaping after her, then slamming her into the ground with his elbow. “I may be old, but I have plenty of tricks!”

“I will not lose twice in one day!” Undyne growled, getting up swiftly and knocking him off his feet, kicking him away and summoning spears from the ground to rise up and try and impale the avatar.

Prax cackled as the Avatar dissipated and he leapt at the last moment, pulling out a strange looking orb with a series of glowing white runes. As Undyne tensed in preparation for whatever the orb would do, he threw it up into the air and his gauntlets seemed to open up as his orb split in half and became a pair of what looked like machine gun barrells that landed neatly into the openings made in his gauntlets.

Undyne cursed to herself, hastily putting up a strong green shield.

Prax laughed as he fired a constant stream of magical rounds at her shield, causing it to freeze over “How do ya like my Ice bullets, dearie?! Custom made for fighting against and disabling anything up to the size of a troll! Hahaha!”

“I think you need tochill out!” Undyne shouted, her spears coming from behind him, impaling him in the gut before he could react.

Prax grunted as he removed his hands from the gauntlets, them still firing at Undyne, who was now encased in a dome of ice. He then took out a syringe and grimaced “Damn, I hate needles!” He then ripped out the spears and jabbed it into himself, the otherwise lethal wound sewing itself shut as he tossed one to Undyne “I limit myself to one of these a spar, keeps things fair. Considering I give one to the sparring partner too.” he then pulls out a half sphere and lets one of the guns stop firing as he inserts the second tier firearm, an rpmg launcher, or rocket propelled manonic grenade launcher. “Boom time, Young’n!” He then fired a grenade straight into the dome, punching into it as it burst, creating a condensed explosion all around Undyne.

Undyne had jumped back at the new weapon, putting the needle away for now and instead focusing on making a giant swarm of spears.

Prax looked at the massive swarm of spears as he aimed his gun at them, freezing them and causing them to fall to the ground and shatter, some of them impaling local flora and fauna instead. “I think I should go all out, don’t you? Else this will get very boring.” He then pulled out something that made Greg visibly tense, a vial of black liquid that glowed white, enveloped by a machine that looked like a generator of some sort.

Greg cursed aloud as he slenderwalked between the two of them “Fights over! No one is using that till we finish the testing phase!”

Undyne frowned, but seemed to allow this. “Alright, but tell me, what is that stuff? It feels… wrong.”

Greg sighed “It’s a magic generator that runs off of my blood. Turns out slendersapien blood is like pure magic, our auras seem to absorb the energy around it and convert it into fuel, that machine reverses the process.”

“That seems a little… unfair.” Undyne said, and I nodded in agreement.

Prax shrugged “The purpose of sparring is to prepare for real battle, right? Well, if you fight a Gremlin, you’ll be damn sure they’ll use every tool under their belt, ethical or not.” He then sighed “Let’s give the point to Undyne, girl's got moxie, and she kinda reminds me of-” His face suddenly darkened “Nevermind, not important. I cheated, and she deserves the win.”

“Alright…” I trailed off, before sighing. “Congratulations, Undyne.” I congratulated the guard, who was grinning a toothy grin.

Prax then walked away, rubbing the back of his head sadly as Papyrus looked to him and walked over to him. “You seem sad, perhaps I, the great Papyrus, could help?”

Prax sighed as his color seemed to fade to black and white “Just… just old memories of a Gremlin who’s lost too much… let’s say… I know what your king and queen went through…”

“Papyrus.” I called, bringing my sons attention to me. “It may be best we all get to the others, shall we?”

Papyrus nodded quickly and went off to round up the others, looking to Praximus with worry before he went off towards the others.

“Alright… I believe it is my turn now, correct? At least, that’s how these seem to go, you fight Undyne, then me.” I said, turning my attention to him.

Praximus shook his head “Nah, I’m not in the mood… Besides, we both know who would win.”

“I’d say tie.” I said, shrugging.

Praximus sighed and looked at where Papyrus was going with sadness in his eyes “Whatever you do, don’t let them go… Your heart won’t stop hurting.”

“I don’t plan to, but fate is cruel.” I said, frowning.

Praximus nodded slowly as his ears drooped “I know all too well…”

“Well, shall we get back to the others?” I asked.

Prax sighed, his color not returning “Okay, I guess…” as we returned to the group, Greg took one look at Prax and teleported over to him, taking out a vial of rainbow liquid and injecting it into him, to which his color began to perk back up.

Greg sighed with relief apparent “Thank you for getting him to me, last thing I need is to have to do... what my alternate timelines self did...” he looked rather uncomfortable before shrinking down and taking prax by the shoulder to a tree off to the side, where they sat down, Greg making sure that Prax was okay before he returned to our group. He looked to us and sighed “I suppose you all want to know what that was, right?”

“Yes.” I said simply, worried.

Greg sighed and looked to Praximus “His soul is… damaged, he lost his children to the war that made him imbue himself with eternal youth. He… he begins to sort of decay spiritually. I think the monsters call it falling down? He becomes so depressed that his body begins to shut down. My… other timeline self solved this problem by making him a proxy, basically removing the memories that hurt him, and all free will in regards to disobeying him. He grew addicted to doing it though… I swore I would never do that, never take the chance of winding up like him. That syringe is similar to the determination shots that Alphys used, but they use equal parts of every aspect of the soul… they are basically synthesized souls made in liquid form.”

“Hm…” I hummed, frowning in worry. “I see…”

Greg looked to Bob and nodded as they looked to the rest of the monsters “We owe Praximus a great deal, so we make sure that if he does die, it’s the way he said he wanted to go, helping someone who needed it.”

Bob showed his ring to the group, a circuitry lined band of metal “This ring was made by him, it essentially keeps me sane, without it, I’m even more powerful than Discord, and twice as unpredictable.”

Rose sighed, holding Arvir close “He created more that three quarters of our current medical equipment, including the ones that prevented Arvir from being stillborn.”

“I’ll look into it.” I promised.

Greg looked to me curiously “Look into what?”

“Helping fix Prax’s SOUL, it’s only a matter of time before one of you isn’t around to inject him with that ‘rainbow’ DETERMINATION.” I said calmly.

Greg nodded slowly “Well, we should stay here until that research is done…” he then turned to Toriel and sans, who were holding hands “Would it be acceptable for us to stay at the mountain's base?”

Sans looked to me in confusion “Why are you asking me?”

Greg rubbed the back of his head “Let’s just say I’ve seen other timelines where someone pissed you off, I don’t want that fight.”

“A wise decision.” I commented, smirking a little.

Bob then smiled as he donned french attire “I smell it, love is in the air for the goat lady and the skeleton, when can we expect the, how you say, skelegoats?”

Greg then uppercutted his sibling, sending him flying into a tree “That is for being crass.”

Bob then sighed and stepped out from the now shattered tree “I suppose I deserved that.” He then looked to Toriel, who was blushing a deep crimson red. “Oh, but maybe I wasn’t too far off?”

Greg raised his fist “I am not afraid to be responsible for the deforestation of this area.”

“Please do not ship my son in front of me” I deadpanned.

Sans looked to Toriel blushing and blushed as well “Huh, who would've thunk it.”
Bob coughed into his sleeve and tried not to laugh. Right before Greg knocked him out by slamming him face first into the ground. “Okay, see you in the morning.”

[sometime in the night]

“Huh… well this is interesting.” I dryly commented.

In front of me was a door made of stained glass, depicting Bob in various scenes, many of which he was injured and or crying, upon the center of the door, right where the handles would be, was a handprint that looked suspiciously like Gregs. The fingers long and inhuman.

I decided to try to open the door and look inside, only, the door did not budge. Frowning, I decided to go and find Greg.

Greg was sleeping in the bough of a tree, seeming oddly comfortable as his wife and Arvir slept in the hut he made for them, apparently they did not have enough bedding material for him. He was snoring softly.

I summoned two of my hands, gently separating the two, before bringing the other to carry Greg and walking back with him.

Greg woke up as I entered the bedroom and looked around “What’s going on, Gaster?” he then saw the door and I swore he paled somehow. “What, the actual... hell?”

“I don’t know, it just appeared.” I said, putting him down.

He teleported to the door and pressed his hand into the indentation after awhile of looking at the various pictures. The door opening to show a scene similar to the mountainside, but a photo negative of it. “Whatever this is, I’m getting a bad vibe from it.”

“Let’s investigate, shall we?” I asked, walking forwards.

Greg nodded and followed me through the doorway, only for it to slam shut behind us and shatter, the pieces disappearing in mid air. “Well shit.” We suddenly heard a voice, one that was harsh and shrill, making Greg tense up considerably

“ GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!”

Greg took off running toward the sound, his aura flaring to life as he ran. “I know where we are!”

“Would you care to inform me?!” I shouted back, quickly catching up.

“We are in Bobs night terror! His Mind! I don’t know how, but that’s the only way I can think of that fatass bitch showing up!”

“Who, exactly, would that be?” I questioned.

Greg growled as he spoke the next part “That abusive bitch? She calls herself our mom, but no mother I know kicks her kids down the stairs.”

I narrowed my eyes, growling a little. “I HATE those kinds of people.” I said.

He laughed “That’s on a good day for us, let’s just say she gave us more than physical scars.”

“...If I find her I am going to kill her and then erase her putrid SOUL.” I stated.

Greg looked away “A bit late there…”

Bob's voice could then be heard “Go away! Please, don’t hurt him anymore! He can’t… He can’t protect me any more!”

Greg tensed even further and sped up as he reached an apartment building that looked beyond trashy. “We have to hurry.”

“Why are we not teleporting, again?” I suddenly realized.

“I have been trying, whatever is here is blocking that power. While we are in this dreamscape we are beyond powerless.”

“That is incredibly unlikely, if you recall I flew to catch up with you, so perhaps only you are affected… a side effect from fusing, perhaps?” I pondered, hand filling with light blue as I snapped my fingers, teleporting the two of us to the apartment.

Greg shook his head “No, it’s this place, If you aren’t being affected by it, then… it’s due to this memory… Damn it!” he saw a giant, incredibly obese woman with a beer bottle in one hand as she continuously smacked a young teen with it, the teen protecting a small shild with his body. The teens grunts of pain sounding eerily similar to Greg. Greg tensed and ran at the scene and was repelled by a strange barrier.

“ Surely you didn't think it'd be that easy, did you, big bro?” A blood red puddle formed at his feet as a horrible deformed and pale looking version of Bob rose out of it “After all, you never could save me… it was me that had to clean up this mess, in the end.”

Greg looked to Bob(?) “I tried, Bob! I tried, so hard!”

Bob(?) chuckled and gestured to the broken bottle off to the side as the younger Bob reached for it quickly, throwing it at their mother as she swung at the beaten and bloodied young Greg, the broken bottle cutting her face before she could hit the younger Greg again, the woman screaming as her eyes bled and she stumbled back towards the table, Bob jumping up and pushing her over as she was off balance. Her falling on her back and him grabbing the now bloody bottle as he repeatedly stabbed her in the throat with it until she stopped moving, the young child, now covered in blood, fell to his knees and wept as the bruised and bloodied younger Greg held him close.

Greg sighed as the memories all fell away, leaving a current time Bob curled up crying in the fetal position, and the other Bob, along with me. The other Bob looked to me and smiled in a highly disturbing way. “ I won’t be held by the ring forever, you know~”

“Maybe I should beat you down now then.” I threatened calmly, narrowing my eyes.

Bob(?) laughed “Then you’d be hurting the weaker me just as much, we are two sides of the same coin~ I doubt he’d survive me being destroyed, not yet, anyway~” He spoke in a sing song voice as he sunk down into his puddle, waving to me in a playful manner.

“You’d be surprised the things I can manage… but you are not a problem yet, so you may stay.” I said simply.

Greg, who was consoling Bob, held him close, black tears leaking freely from his eyes “It’s okay, Bob, I’m here…”

Bob weeped and held Greg tight “I can’t… I can’t hold back the dark… it keeps leaking out… I can’t hold it…”

Greg tightly holds Bob by the shoulders “You killed the bitch, own that shit! She would of killed us! You have been walking with that fake ass smile for years now, just… just live life how you want to! You don’t have to be a bright light for us, you can dim at times, I still love you, brother, I will always be there for you!”

I simply stayed off to the side, letting the two have their moment, there was then a bright flash and we were back in my bedroom.

Greg looked to me and rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably as he helped Bob up “Umm… could you… keep this quiet? I really don’t want the others knowing about this… or that other Bob…”

“I promise to not tell about that… being… until it is a problem.” I said neutrally, going over and opening the door. “Now, you two should get more… peaceful, rest, don’t you think?”

Bob nodded silently as he slowly trudged out of the room, going to a bush and hiding inside it as he curled up and went to sleep silently. Greg looked to me and smiled “I owe you, thanks.” he then teleported to his tree, and all was quiet until next morning.

👍☟✌🏱❄☜☼ ☞✋✞☜

I hummed as I walked through the Everfree, deciding to check the area out. As I walked, I had an idea, deciding to summon a small blaster, it was a toy really, I put it on a small chain I had found.

“❄︎⚐︎ 💧︎🕆︎💣︎💣︎⚐︎☠︎ ❄︎☟︎☜︎ 💣︎✌︎☠︎ 🕈︎☟︎⚐︎ 💧︎🏱︎☜︎✌︎😐︎💧︎ ✋︎☠︎ ☟︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎📪︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕆︎☼︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕈︎☜︎☼︎ ✋︎☠︎❄︎⚐︎ ❄︎☟︎✋︎💧︎ 👌︎☹︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ ❄︎☟︎✌︎❄︎ ☟︎☜︎ 👍︎⚐︎💣︎💣︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎” I said in a strange language, doing so purely so I could mess with whoever got this. Satisfied, I opened a hole in reality, tossing the token into the void before closing the hole.

Almost immediately, I felt a pulling sensation as I was summoned.

??? PoV

I sat in the middle of the field panting after my training. I looked up to see Twilight over me with two cups.

“Thought I should bring this.” she said as she lowered the cup down to me.

“Thanks.” I said as I took it. As I drink it I noticed that she was wearing workout clothes. “What's with the clothes?”

“Oh Rainbow said that I was looking a bit chubby in some places so I thought I’d work out a bit to lose it.” she said. I gave her a once over and saw that she didn't look any different.

“I don't know about her but you look great as is.” I said. She blushed a bit and looked away.

“Her heart rate spiked there.” Beta said. “Trying to woo her?”

“S-shut up you.” I snapped. Twilight looked at me for a moment before brushing it to the back of her mind. We chatted for a bit before something landed near me, I looked and saw a small toy on a chain that was there. I blinked before I reach over and picked it up and a message was heard.

“❄︎⚐︎ 💧︎🕆︎💣︎💣︎⚐︎☠︎ ❄︎☟︎☜︎ 💣︎✌︎☠︎ 🕈︎☟︎⚐︎ 💧︎🏱︎☜︎✌︎😐︎💧︎ ✋︎☠︎ ☟︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎📪︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕆︎☼︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕈︎☜︎☼︎ ✋︎☠︎❄︎⚐︎ ❄︎☟︎✋︎💧︎ 👌︎☹︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ ❄︎☟︎✌︎❄︎ ☟︎☜︎ 👍︎⚐︎💣︎💣︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎” Was what I heard, and it hurt my head trying to understand it.

“Ow…” I said as I held my head. The hell was that about?

“You okay?” Twilight asked worried.

“Just an headache.” I said as I felt it get warm. The small strange skull on the chain started to glow, making me ‘drop’ it in surprise.

The strange skull stayed in the air, floating, the chain hanging off of it as the skull fired what appeared to be a small white beam onto the air, making a hole in reality that hurt to look at.

From the hole, a figure appeared, it calmly walking out with its hands behind its back. The two of us stared at the figure for a few moments in silence.

“Greetings.” The figure said calmly as it observed us. “Why was I summoned?”

“I have no idea.” I said as I looked at the token. “Just picked it up and it did it's thing.”

“Strange.” The figure said, frowning. “Oh well, nothing that can be done about it now, do you need assistance in anything while I am here?”

“Umm…” was all I said.

“You know, he looks a lot like Greg.” Twilight pointed out. I tilted my head a bit and blinked.

“Hey, you’re right he does… only with eyes and nose.” I said.

“Oh, I have… neglected to introduce myself, I am Gaster.” The now name Gaster said, holding a hand out for them to shake. I shook his hand as I thought about his name.

“Gaster… oh… OH! You mean from Undertale!?!” I asked him.

“That is correct.” Gaster said, an amused smirk on his face.

“Question, Gaster from the game or from somewhere else.” I asked him.

“Mostly from an AU I believe was called ‘Glitchtale’.” He said.

“Sweet~” I said with a smile.

“I say mostly because I am… decently more powerful than that version because I have… acquired a power boost recently.” He continued.

“Cool.” was all I said. Twilight just chuckled at me.

“You’re so calm meeting someone new.” she said with a smile. I just shrugged.

“Now, is there anything that you two needed? I would like to accomplish something before I go.” He said.

“Umm…” I said as I thought about it. “Do you want to do something here?”

“What are the current ‘problems’ in this world?” Gaster asked simply. “Perhaps I could assist with one of those?”

“None that I know about.” I said. “I just finished up training so if there was I don’t know it.”

As I said that a group of trees started to glow a bit. We looked at it and they turned into gem trees.

“Ummm… what?” was all I said as I looked at them.

“Interesting.” Gaster said, walking closer to study the trees. I knocked on one of the trees, it feels like a gem. Beta appeared over my shoulder and went to scan the trees.

“Interesting, the bio structure of the tree as completely changed to that of a gem.” he said.

“I wonder what magic caused this?” Gaster mused. “I did not detect any… chaos at all, so it couldn’t be that.”

“I have no idea.” I said as I looked over at the town and saw other things getting changed into other stuff. “But I have a bad feeling, come on.”

“This will be very interesting.” Gaster commented as he walked over to me. “I can feel something… dark about this magic, for whatever reason, I could try to pinpoint it’s source if you wish.”

“Okay, while you do that I’ll follow the craziness to it.” I said as I turned and walked towards the town. On the way I saw what looks like a fancy party with Pinkie standing in it, surprised and speechless. I pulled my phone out and took a picture of this and kept going.

“Why did you do that?” Beta asked.

“Pinkie was speechless, it’s a rare thing here.” I said simply.

Gaster PoV

I silently hummed to myself as I floated over this universe’ version of ponyville, looking for form of pattern in how the dark magic was being used. Seeing one, I teleported to where I felt the one who summoned me was.

“I believe I know where they will strike next.” I said as I appeared next to them. What I saw was her holding her arms up as the ground rose up and stopped some fancy carts that were about to run over some anthro ponies.

“Little help.” She asked. I simply summoned three of my hands in their teal modes, similar colored strings wrapping around the carts wheels and stopping them in their tracks. As the others were out of harm's way Taliyah looked over at me. “You know where the next hit is going to be?”

“Yes, I know a shortcut.” I said, grabbing her shoulder and teleporting us over to the next area. As we get there I saw her turn green and fall forward, groaning.

“Warn… me...next… time…” she groaned.

“You should have known that phrase if you had played the game from my son.” I said with my equivalent of a raised eyebrow.

“What…?” she asked as she got up, a little less green.

“He says that before teleporting himself and Frisk to Grillbys if you talk to him in at the station just before waterfall.” I clarified. She nodded as she looks around.

“So now we wait?” she asked.

“I believe our target is over there.” I said, pointing to a pony and dragon I saw in the distance. She looked over to where I was pointing.

“Hey, that’s Rarity and Spike what are they doing?” she asked as she walked forward before what looked like a stone surfboard rose up under her and she surfed over to them.

I simply chose to teleport over, deciding to see how this would play out. I saw Spike holding a book behind him as he was trying to walk away from Rarity, whose eyes and horn was glowing lime green. She was looking at him funny until some owl flew down and distracted her, to which Spike… moved to eat the book.

I simply quickly moved a pair of hands over to him, taking the book and hiding it behind my back, wishing to study it later.

“Hey!” I heard Rarity yell. I saw her looking at me with green eyes. “Give me my book back.”

“No.” I said simply. She growled at me as her magic started to form a large beast like thing behind her. This lasted for a second until something wrapped around her horn which shocked her as her magic disappeared.

“Magic canceling rings, made out of twenty percent quartz, thirty percent enchantments, and fifty percent gold alloy.” I heard a voice said. I looked back and saw Taliyah walking up to me with that robot eye floating over her head.

“Well, it’s a good thing she made the streets out of gold than.” Taliyah said as she flex her hand a few times. “Working with metal is different than rock and stones.”

“What kind of magic is that ring attuned to?” I asked. As I said that I saw said ring flew past us and that green being was back.

“Well… that didn’t work…” Taliyah said. She looked up at the monster for a moment. “And what in the hell is that?!”

“I do not know.” I said, summoning two blasters to my sides. “It will not be difficult to defeat.”

The being looked over at me and it’s eyes flashed, making one of the same blaster only more… flashy. It fired at us but the gold ground rose up to block it.

“You were saying?” Taliyah said as she made a gold spike and threw it at it, only for it to go through it. “Crap!”

I hummed in thought, turning the blasters to Rarity and letting them loose. Diamonds appeared in front of her, blocking the shots.

“The hell are you doing!” she yelled at me.

“You will see.” I said calmly, summoning blasters around Rarity and letting them fire. More diamonds formed around her and blocked the blasts.

“Look I don’t know what you’re doing but she’s my friend and I’m not going to-” she was cut off as her outfit was changed to a solid gold dress… she fell onto the ground at the weight. “Oww.”

I simply rolled my eyes, adding to the intensity of my blasts as I read the spell in the book. Out of my eyes I saw one of it’s flashy blasters fired at me.

I summoned one of my hands in it’s purple mode, it firing a blast that stopped the flashy one in its tracks. I saw a gold flash in front of me as something passed me.

“I CAN BREATH!” Taliyah yelled out as she was… now in her undergarments. This changed as they turned into what I can guess is a belly dancer outfit only flashy and covered in gems. “Oh come on!”

“You look fabulous dear.” Rarity said. Taliyah grumbled as she stood up.

“If it wasn’t for the fact she’s my friend I would throw a boulder at her.” she said.

“I admit it does look… decent.” I commented, turning to the small dragon. “Now, Spike was it?”

“Umm… yes?” he said as Taliyah started to throw golden spears at the flashy blasters.

“Do you recall the last couple lines of the spell from the book?” I asked.

“Umm…” he said as he started to think about it. “I think it was… ‘Only when true words will set you free’ or something like that.” As he finished there was a blast that missed him about two inches from one of her blasters.

“What have you been telling her all this time?” I pressed. Summoning a green hand to make a shield around us.

“That everything she made was great…” he said as a gold spear bounced off the shield.

“Is it really?” I asked. He shifted a bit.

“Well, yeah… kinda… maybe…” he started to frown a bit.

“Maybe that is not what is best.” I said, smiling as I teleported us next to her. “Say what needs to be, not what one wants to be said.”

Rarity snapped her head towards us and growled. Spike reeled back a bit and looked like he was looking for a way out… before he sighed and looked at her.

“Rarity… I’m sorry but all you have done… it’s… sure it looks nice but it’s not that great… it’s awful.” he said sadly. She blinked a few times at him.

“A-awful?” she said, shocked. She looked confused as the green magic went over her head. “What?... yes their great… everything I make is great.”

“Like hell!” Taliyah yelled out. I saw her outfit had tears and rips all over it, anymore and she would be in the buff. “All this pretty stuff sucks! It’s awful and not practical, like really, solid gold dress? It’s not useable!”

The green spirit looked over at her and made a lot more blasters appear and fired. She made a dome of gold around her as they fired onto her.

I sighed, summoning my seven hands to myself. “It appears I will have to get more serious.” I said, summoning blasters all around the spirit and firing. More flashy things appeared to block the blasts but some went through and hit them.

“Yes! Everything I make is Amazing~!” Rarity yelled and looked over at us. She frowned and looked confused. “Spike? Why are you shaking?”

“B-because Rarity, all of this… it’s scaring me.” he said as he geasters all over the place.

“Scares you… but… my creations shouldn’t scare anyone, they should fill them with joy and…” she stopped and became more confused, the green spirit looked down at her and tried to whisper something to her but she shook her head. “No...no no no…”

I acted quickly, using blue magic to tint the spirit blue, thrusting it away from Rarity while the connection was weakened. She grabbed her head as there was still some tethers of it still on her. In a gold flash a spear slashed down on them and cutting them. The spirit screamed in pain as it started to shrink.

I frowned as I pulled it over to myself, summoning two blasters and obliterating the spirit. Rarity fainted as the land and building that was turned into flashy things got turned back.

“Is… is everything back to normal?” Taliyah asked as she peeked out of her small earth dome.

“Yes.” I said, snapping my fingers and tapping into my more…. Godly abilities, making a dress appear. “This should be… suitable to cover you.” I added, tossing it her way. She grabbed it and looked at it.

“Not much of a dress person but it beats being in my underwear.” she said as she ducked down in her dome. After a few minutes the dome dropped and she was wearing the dress.

“What… was that thing?” Spike asked as he picked up Rarity who was still passed out.

“It was simply a dark spirit that was corrupting the magic in this book.” I said, holding it up.

“Huh… That explains the lime green colour.” he said.

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked.

“Every comic book, show, and movie I have seen that has lime green with someone or thing is evil.” he then frowned. “Though I don’t really know why.”

“That is… incredibly stupid.” I deadpanned, summoning my green hand. “I have literally just used similarly colored magic to shield us, it represents KINDNESS not evil.”

“Also it’s the colour of lima beans.” Taliyah added. The two of us stared at her. “What? I like lima beans.”

“Regardless, I suppose that this situation is over, if that is all?” I asked.

“I guess so.” she said. Spike in turn just spun on his heel and started to walk into town.

“I’m going to take Rarity back home then take a nap.” he yelled back.

“Yeah… so anything else you want to do?” Taliyah asked.

“I am satisfied, feel free to de-summon me whenever.” I said.

“Alright, your services are no longer needed.” she said as a portal opened up near me. “Later I guess.”

“Feel free to call me if you need anything.” I said, walking through the portal and reappearing in my Everfree, going back on my walk. Little did I know, what catastrophe would await me when I returned...

Chapter Six...

Author's Notes:

Hey, guys. This ones a little short, but I just needed it done to set something up. Let's just say... this stories about to go through a very big change. And, to be honest, it'll be almost something entirely new. So, it might take a while. At least ya get some warning this time though, right? Anyway, enjoy this little snippy chapter thing.

When I got back to my world, I could immediately tell something was very, very wrong. Everything felt… off. It was almost familiar in the way that it was wrong, yet it seemed… worse somehow. Stronger.

I flew up, and saw glitchy chaos. “What in the world?” I muttered, sockets wide. What had caused all of this? All around me were nothing but random pixels that were mismatched such as one half of a tree being fused with the ground as a strange tile blocks. Everypony was walking backwards despite moving forward in a strange animation loops. I had to do a double take when I saw the black void in the distance.

With haste, I brought my souls power to bear, trying to will away the damage caused in a great burst of magic. However, I was met with a lot of resistance.

“Oooh how… A̸̛̪N̵̩͠Ń̸̙O̷͈̕Ỵ̵̀Ï̷̤N̸̪̾G̶̡̎!̷̪̀ ̴̩̽” I heard a glitched voice said as a headache quickly formed at how messed up it sounded, it was like listening to earape being filtered through an old speaker. How was something affecting me like this? I lived in the void before!

I turned to the source of the void, scowling heavily. “Who are you?” I questioned.

“Do you want to know my true name? Or shall I tell you a name that won’t turn you inside out?” The voice said as a strange abomination floated toward me, the creature in questioning reminding me of Discord, except even more of a mess with the floating glitched pixels and his body parts constantly shifting.

“Well, I’ve been torn across all time and space, so anything that won’t imitate that feeling would be preferable,” I dryly said. While we were talking, I was gathering magical energy.

“Oh hoo hoo hoo. Where I come from, there is no t-t-t-t-t-.” He was skipping like a broken record. “Time and space.” He said with a grin as his body unnaturally twisted around.

I hummed. “Now, that just looks uncomfortable.” I said dryly. Whoever this chaotic jerk was, I wanted him gone now. He was breaking my world, and understandably I didn’t want that to happen. I kept all my stuff here, after all.

As I was about to start attacking the creature in front of me in earnest, I could just tell he wouldn’t be open to negotiation, I felt something fly into my side. On instinct, I caught the thing in one of my many hands. What landed in my hand was a strange golden cartridge of some kind, no logo nor label.

The creatures eyes went wide as he started foaming at the mouth, causing colorful pixelated blocks to drip from his maw. “Not that Nuisance again!” the creature screamed out as he reached out toward me, causing a ray of corruptive pixels to fly in my direction. I dodged, of course, teleporting away in a finger snap a few dozen yards away. Putting it in a hand aligned to red, I channeled energy into it. A hologram popped up, revealing a tired expression of a pixeled human face, except it was strangely vividly detailed.

“...Jeez, you guys just keep coming….” The human said with a yawn. I shoved the thing around, turning the heads face in the direction of the glitching chaos user. “...He’s back?! Oh for crying out loud, I saw the codes of harmony destroy him!” the human said with a groan. He raised his arm, revealing some sort of strange futuristic gauntlet.

[Searching…. New World Found: Inputting code. 453347213]

I heard a robot voice say as the hologram started to flicker. Suddenly, the human leaped out, becoming more detailed and three dimensional. While the gauntlet that surrounded his arm looked impressive, the rest of him looked a little plain with just a white tank top, black shorts, and flip flops.

“I’d exchange pleasantries, but it appears that one of your villanses is destroying my world. Let’s just cut straight to the point, shall we?” I suggested, readying my hands and a couple blasters too.

“Don’t. He can’t be hurt, not by normal means anyways. If you try to touch him, you’ll experience a world of hell.” The human warned as he raised his hand toward me.

I frowned, keeping an eye on the glitch. “How do we beat him, then?” I questioned the human. “He seems rather… irritating to deal with.” Honestly, at least normal Discord could actually be physically damaged if you managed to surprise him and had the strength to do so.

“The codes of harmony is the only way to beat him, not unless you’ve got a method of trapping him in a computer or something.” The human said as he watched the sky fade to black. Reality itself was falling apart to this creature’s presence.

Sighing, I turned to the human. “It appears there’s not quite enough time for this world to try trapping him. Can you use those codes?” I questioned. If not, then… I may need to bring a certain button out of retirement. It may not hurt him, but hopefully it will kick this bastard out of here.

“Let me rephrase that, the codes of harmony as six heroens I brought together to fight Glitchcord.” The human said as he started pressing a combination of numbers. “If your world was more of a video game, I’d send you into an alternative timeline.” The human said as he scratched his head curiously. “I don’t ha-” The human stopped in mid-sentence as Glitchcord unleash a furious screech, causing the corrupted to spread even further.

“I Ị̸́ ̴̳͋Ẇ̴̩O̵̧͝N̵̥̂'̶̰̾T̶̻̓ ̸̓ͅL̸͙̇Ě̴̼T̷̤̍ ̸̹̾ Y-Y-YOI ̴̉ͅE̸̯̅S̷̻̉C̴̰̃A̸̜͆P̶͍͝E̷̙̊ ̵̞̎Ţ̷͊Ȟ̵͙I̷̹̽S̸̯̅ ̵̥͝T̸̯͐I̵͈͗M̶̭̀E̵̻̿,̶͎̂ ̵̯͛C̵̳̈́H̴̘̽E̶̜̾A̶̼̎T̶̡͒Ē̵̥Ȑ̷͙!̷̼͛” Glitchcord screamed out at it started to madly charge at us.

I grabbed the human and teleported a mile away. “I have a… potential solution,” I said, hesitant. “This world… it’s doomed. But, if I use this,” I said, bringing out the orange and black Reset button. “Maybe… just maybe… it’ll Erase this timeline, and start a new instance.” I explained, the button hovering right in front of my hand.

“You can’t hide from-” I didn’t hear the rest of it as the human suddenly closed both of our ears.

“He just said his real name, but anyone hearing it will end up corrupted. I suggest you hit that button before he gets even more pissed off.” The human explained as he removed his hand from my head. I nodded, and button went yellow. The sound played, and whiteness enveloped the world...
