Chapter 6: A Child's Path (Xover 2 - Chara)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAuthor's Notes:
Please forgive Black Night Sun. He only has a phone and uses the voice-to-text command in order to write along side with me. I have tried my best to correct all of his mistakess and there may still be a few issues I failed to correct. Not only is this a Crossover, but Chara is coming along for the ride on the main plot, you will see why in Chapter seven or eight. If you see any cusswords that hasn't been censored, please be sure to point them out in your comment.
Once I was fully healed up and allowed to leave the hospitals. I now had alot on my mind due to the whole Displaced business and the fact that now that Ponyville knows of my existence.
I let out a soft sigh as I made my way back to the Everfree Forest, I needed to get a few things from my home and perhaps try to find another one that’s less dangerous to live in.
Suddenly, I heard a thud behind me, causing me to whirl around and draw forth my Ordon Sword. There on the ground, was a glowing red knife, I was a little paranoid at first, considering that it is a weapon. Was someone trying to sneak up on me but only to flee because of me noticing?
I sheathed my blade before making my way over to it, I picked up it then suddenly dropped it when my ears were assaulted by a message from out of nowhere.
“Greetings, I'm Chara. If you're a displaced and you’re in need of some help or just you just need a friend. Just call me and I'll come, but please don’t call me if you’re facing another Displaced”
“W-wait… Chara? As in the one from Undertale?” I mentally asked to myself. This could go two ways. Either she’s actually genocide Chara, or she’s pacifist Chara, if I remember the game correctly.
I took a deep breath before reaching into my pouch and pulled out the Fierce Deity Link mask. I hide it in the inside of my red cloak. I wanted to be prepared in case she ended up being the bad kind of kid.
“Chara, I do not seek help, but I do seek a friend, hopefully I wish to test which path you follow. Chara, I summon you!” I said, quickly slashing the air as I expect for it to slice reality itself, opening a portal between my world and hers.
Quickly, a young girl named Chara flies out of the portal before slamming into a tree. Suddenly, she goes flying into a string of curses that would make even demons cringe in embarrassment. Eventually, she finally got up, and looked around in confusion. “Where am I now? One minute I'm fighting that b**** Celestia to free her slaves with my pal Zelzer, then next thing I knew I'm suddenly in the f****** Forest again. Eh, Zelzers is probably fine, he has six Souls after all, he can take her.” Suddenly, as if taking notice of my presence, she spins around to face me. “Who are you supposed to be?” She asks, anger still in her tone of voice.
...If I could play sound effect for every foul word that comes out of this little girl's mouth, it would be Solid Snakes Alert sound, it would fit perfect with the way she’s been slinging them. “I guess this is the first time you’ve been summoned, huh?” I ask her, my hand still firmly holding the mask with caution.
“No, of course not, it's not the first time I've ever been to a new Equestria.” She said with sarcasm dripping off of her voice.
So far, she might be the bad Chara considering her current attitude, however she might end up dropping it if she realizes that as long as I hold her token, she won’t be able to return back to her Equestria, I'll give her a moment to see if she does notice. I’ll let with pleasantries to see if I can break the ice.
I extend a hand toward her to try and help her back on her feet, she did hit that tree pretty had and maybe damaged her HP.. That is if her body follows a different kind of logic. While waiting for her to react, I applied a little of my focus toward her, activating the Wide Angle ability that Sans The Batter taught me.
Chara (The Human)
LV: 20
HP: 99
Determination/Hatred: Unbreakable
Chara is a freedom fighter who has been trying to take down Celestia and her slave Empire. Chara has little to no self preservation because of her ability to load, save and reset. She carries two kinds of weaponry: A pocket knife and the True Knife. Her most strongest power is to use all seven soul traits.
“Did you just check me out you a******” She asked with an irritated look to her glare.
“Whoa, hold it. Only I was suppose to see that..” I said, holding up my hand that held her knife token, I did not want to start a fight or else end up drawing attention to the forest, there’s also the fact I need to keep her away from any Save points she might spawn near her. Because if she does, she can just keep coming back, but at least Reset won’t do her any good as she hasn’t lived through this world’s history. The only edge I have over her is that I would be unpredictable for the first few hours of the fight, if one were to explode right here and now. “I just wanted some info to see which path you took, I’m not here to make enemies.” I said as I lowered my hand.
“Yeah, whatever. It's not black and white in my world, I may have a level of violence of 20, but everyone I killed deserved it because of the ponies enslaving every other species, So me and Zalzar have been systematically wiping out the ponies.” She said, still irritated at being checked.
“Well, it's not exactly good here either, I mean there is no enslavement, only difference here is that monster activity have increased, half of it just monsters being more violent while the other half are monsters from the Zelda-verse, I don’t know why they target Ponyville.” I said with a shrug, I know I just gave off a hint to her as to who I was Displaced as but it’s a very obvious hint.
She just looks at me deadpanned expression” We’re near Ponyville, you have the Triforce Of Courage yet you still don’t know why?”
Now it was my return to give her a deadpanned expression as I quickly lowered my hood to reveal my face. I put away my mask first before raising my right hand. “This? Are you saying they’ve been after this?” I let out a slightly annoyed sigh. “Wherever the innocent live, evil shall follower, wherever evil goes, saviors will come.” I said, mostly repeating a saying I brought up when monsters never made sense. “I’m just a Forced Hero anyhow, so of course I’ve been the one to slaughter the bastards.” I said. If Chara would to take a good look at my face, she might see the face of a warrior who’s seen his fair share of madness.
“So you're a Mix and match of several Links? I guess we both have something in common there I'm a Mix and match of almost all Charas.“ She said with a sad grin “So how were you displaced?”
I proceed to explain my dilemma of how I got here, basically me avoiding comic cons, I opened up a treasure chest that was left at my doorstep, got sent here via flying crystal. I explained to her from start to finish, minus the ten years of me avoiding ponyville. I then explained about Moon dancer, the timber wolves, the Manticore that almost killed me because I was too caution in my approach and should've just went for the kill. It wasn’t exactly my finest moment compared to all the other monsters I had slain, of course not to forget to tell her about using the Stone Mask to spy on ponies who come through here, I told her the whole story.
Intern Chara told me about how she and Zelzer had woken up in the castle of the two sisters how they had killed she had killed Flutter shy and gave her soul to Zelzer how Zelzer killed Luna and how he took on a platoon of Royal Guards as Chara tortured the shining armor then about the Minotaur that got his soul taken and his town destroyed and about how I went into a coma afterwards.
“Jeez… You had it a lot more rough than I did.” I said with a nervous chuckle. I reached up and rubbed the back of my head. “Well, at least you get a moment to breath, right?” I said, trying to lighten up the mood. “I have your token after all and I can send you back whenever you're ready.
“I don't want to go back right now. Me and Zelzer have been fighting for two days straight and I don't want to keep fighting and dying” she said in the small voice looking every bit the little girl she was now.
I felt bad for this child, so I’ll grant her wish to stay for the time being. “Alright, fine by me as long as you’re not up to any trouble.” I said as I rubbed my head again. “Not sure how the ponies will react to seeing another humanoid, I mean they’re not Xenophobic nor will they fear you, it's just there’s not many humans around here.” I said nervously. I didn’t want not to say the wrong thing and I certainly didn’t want Chara to get more upset.. Actually, maybe bring her to Ponyville will be a nice change of pace as this version of Equestria isn’t like hers, no enslavement here.. Then again, she might end up growing attached to one of them and if or when she returns to her world, she’ll end up sad for killing an alternative duplicate. “Welp, I'll let her have the choice.” I said mentally to myself.
“I promise I won't attack anyone who doesn't attack me first” I heard her. Soon her stomach growled “hey do you have any chocolate link I'm kind of hungry”
“Uh… No, not at the moment. I may have His equipment but that doesn’t mean I have all of the things he put in bottles. If that was the case, my fight with The Batter would of been a lot shorter.” I said with a chuckle, the memory of that insanity was still fresh on my mind. “Maybe ponyville has some, we’ll head there after I get my stuff from my home.” I said, slowly turning around to face that direction, my red cloak fluttering with my movement.
She follows behind me and asks” hey since we're friends want to compare powers?”
I only took a few steps before halting when she asked if we could compare powers. “...I’m sorry, what?” I said as I looked over my shoulder. “Aren’t you familiar with the Zelda-verse? Or did you mean compare as in me to the original Link?” (
“Oh I played Ocarina of time and Twilight Princess but I've never played Link to the Past. so I don't know what powers come with it besides if we get into trouble it'd be best to know each other's moves if you want I can start.” She quickly said trying to placate me.
“You sure? I mean there’s quite a lot, not counting duplicates, I don’t use the Bow from the game, I like using the Bow’s Hero compared to that version’s Bow, it's slender and a lot more flexible.” I said as I opened up the pouch’s pocket dimension. “Either I can start by explaining my weaponry of A Link To The Past, or I show you the magic I have.”
“I have to go with magic then I'll explain my powers and then we'll move on to weapons and I'll explain the stats of my knives” she said looking thoughtful
“Are they any different compared to what I already know of the original Chara? I have seen the fan made videos of Chara and her soul powers.” I said as I pulled out the Fire and Ice Rods, the way they were coming out must of looked like something from a cartoon gag.
“Well not the true knife but my pocket knife doubles the power of the true knife if I dual wield” she said showing off her pocket knife which had a green handle and a glowing blade that kept changing colors
I gave my red cloak and hood a tug. “This right here is the Magic Cape, only except it's different since I modified it to be bigger with an hood, it’s still has its enchantments that allows me to leap and glide across the air. I’m surprises it's held up for so long after all those years.” I said as I placed the rods down, now fishing for two medallions from out of the pouch, I still had a lot of magical items to get out, so it would take a while. Next thing I pulled out was an bag of powder, of course I never use this as the outcomes were unreliable. I reached in deeper and kept sorting out the items in my pouch. “I.. think that’s all the magic I have from that era of Hyrule's past, I never bothered with the Bombos Medallion as it's pretty much the same as my Din’s fire, only difference is that it sends out fire columns while the other is an explosion of flames.” I explained to Chara.
“Have you ever tried using both at the same time” Chara asked while looking thoughtful
“I never bothered as Din’s Fire does most of what I need, all it takes is concentration, a different amount, form, and shape. It’s just I can’t use a huge amount of it as my magic doesn’t restore itself, I think need to sleep or find other methods of absorbing it.” I said as I organized the items I have out. “Even the Rods use my magic. The fire rod focuses more on spraying though while Din’s fire is practical part of me.” I said as I held up the rod in all of its glory.
“So it's a magic shotgun just came in their general direction and Fire” she said with a raised eyebrow.
“Pretty much. Oh, I forgot to mention. I didn’t bother pulling out those weird cane things as they’re… really useless, it just creates a block to use in puzzles and switches while the other works exactly like Nayru’s Love.. What were they called again? Cane of Byrna and Cane of Somaria.” I said as I shook my head. I still had those two things but I had placed it in the far back of my pouch. “Oh, right. I forgot I had this..” I said as I pulled out the Magic Mirror. “Doesn’t have much use other than its reflections, I mean there is no Dark World here due to there being so much harmony.”
“Well since you went ahead and me about your Powers I'll tell you about mine. Well, have you seen the mettaton vs Chara animation on YouTube.” She asked
“Before I answer, have you played Majora’s Mask? I mean I have all of the masks..” I said as I scratched my head then shook it. If only I could question whoever’s idea it was to give me masks, I mean four or five them have practical use, but the rest? Merely decoration and eye candy.
“Oh yeah that is one of my favorite if not my favorite Zelda game.” she all but screamed in excitement.
I chuckled as her energy. I then just gotten an idea. “Hey, you can have one of the masks if you’d like. Just pick one, except Goron, Zora, Deku, Fierce, and Giant’s mask.” I said. Realization soon dawned me as I slapped my forehead with my palm. “Why didn’t I use the Giant’s Mask when I fought The Batter? The fight would've been much easier!” I said with a groan. This was the downside to having so much equipment: Sometimes you end up forgetting a few
She's only had stars in her eyes “really you'll let me have a mask?” she asked only to gain a thoughtful look to her face” now the two most likely masks that would be useful to me would be the bomb mask or the bunny ears mask.” she said to herself.
“You can have them both. The Pegasus boots pretty much gives me the dash speed so I won’t be needing the Bunny Hood.” I said as I reached in to pull the two masks out. “You sure you want the Bomb Mask? I mean, you’ll harm both yourself and the intended target.”
“yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes” she said as she started jumping around me.
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at her excitement. “Here ya go then.” I said as I handed her the two masks. “I just hope the Void will approve it.”
“Oh the void better let me keep it or I'll just have to prep my erase button for the void.” she said with a serious expression taking the bunny hood and putting it on while putting the bomb mask in her inventory.
“Uh… Chara.. This is the void, cross-roads between the multi-verse. I don’t think you can erase something that huge, you’re powerful but not God-like.. Not unless you somehow became a void-dweller.” I explained based on what The Batter told me. “The void is huge, it’s infinity according to him and I’d rather not you take the risk of trying to get out of the Void’s transportation between tokens. Actually, I think I've got an idea. I have your token with me, my token should be arriving in your world soon, we can establish an link and connect the tokens, allowing an easily transfer.”
“Hey weren’t we talking about Powers a minute ago?” she asked. “hey, that's right you never did tell me if you've seen that animation!” she said giving an accusing stare and putting her hands on her hips
“And I said No, Chara. But seriously, you can’t erase the void.” I said in a serious tone of voice.
“Well, that's too bad it would have made explaining a lot easier. Wait a minute, I've got an idea.” Chara said as she pulled out a touch screen phone. I was honestly surprised she even had one, it was something I haven’t seen in Equestria yet. “Give me a minute and I'll have the video up.“she said. Pulling up the video of mettaton ex vs Chara before pressing play and showing me the video.
I watched in silent as the video played. So far, it just she kept coming from due to the Save Point, each death only filled her with more Determination just to destroy Mettaton. While yes, it looks quite useful, I can’t help but quote a certain psycho doll. “In the words of Chucky, ‘I'll be back! I always come back! But dying is such a b****’” I said.
"Yep” she said popping the p “so that's how my save and load ability works but my reset and erase buttons do the same as in the game, I can also do everything that season 1 finale Chara can do from glitchtale as well as absorb monster souls.
“So, how did you discover you could do all of this?” I asked just out of curiosity. “I mean, I’m Link but whatever twisted powers that be out there, is only allowing me access only those four link’s magic and equipment.” I said as I went deep in thought.
“Well, remember how I told you that me and Rezas made a displaced story together? Well, We had already figured out what powers we were going to get Zalzar would be a skeleton undying hybrid monster with both Sans the skeleton and undying the undying Powers and I would have the powers of several Charas.” She stated.
“Say no more, I think I see where this is heading. Basically, you were making a story and then some powerful being from above want to displaced you for laughs and giggles.” I said with anger in my voice. “No doubt the same one who left the chest at my door along with the disappearance of everyone mentioned in the news.” I sighed as I reached up to rub my forehead. “We should just.. Continue where I was heading. All this talk is only bringing up the reason why I've been trying to get home in the first place.” I said as I put away my things I brought out, pushing them into my pocket dimension of a pouch.
“Ok, you know if I ever get a chance to go back I'll give it to you I don't have anything that I can go back to” she said in a sad and quiet voice while putting away her pocket knife away.
“Hey..” He kneels down to her eye level. “I can always bring you here and you can always talk to me via my token if you find it in my world. Although not sure about the other way around, I mean you’ve got it rough in your world. So far based on what you told me, Celestia has non-ponies enslaved, they put a bounty on my head if they knew what I’m capable of.” I said, reaching up to pat Cara's hair. “So for now, considering this a place to escape, or a vacation.” I said with an smile as I got up from my kneeled position. “Come on, we need to head to my place, get whatever is left of my old home, then head on back to Ponyville to get you something to eat.”
The rest of the travel was strangely peaceful, no enemies, no monsters, no timber wolves, just nothing but mother nature playing her song.. Honestly, while I did enjoy it, it kind of bothered me.
We head back to my old home, grabbed what I needed, then headed on back to Ponyville.
Chara hesitated a little while we were heading into Ponyville obviously not feeling comfortable “Are you sure that they're friendly.” She asked.
“Trust me, they brought me to the Hospital after I collapsed from the Manticore attack.” I said as I pulled the hood down further to reveal the stitches along my neck from the Timberwolves attack. “I’ve also got them on my chest when it clawed me, I’m lucky the chain mail deflected most of his claws. If I didn’t have this, I’d probably be dead.” I said, I would of mentioned me having a game over, but the joke was just too sour and dark to use, considering that there is no continues nor extra lives. Chara is damn lucky to have that Save Point- The heck am I saying? It lets her defy death, but not the pain of death.
“But my eye's are different where you have white I have black my pupils are heart-shaped and the ring around it is red” She said in response to me.
I let out a soft hum as I tried to think of something, while yes the ponies so far are friendly, they might be a little startle. by Cara's eyes. “Only thing I can think of is to give you a mask, maybe the Keaton’s mask to make you look more innocent since the black part of its eyes are seen through from only your side and not theirs.” I said as I reached in and pull out the mask to hand to Chara. “For the time being until we find some sort spell they'll disguise or change your eyes.” I said.
“Okay, I think that's a good idea” She said while slipping the mask on. “Okay, let's head on out” She said with a voice filled with determination.
We followed the dirt path past an apple farm and soon into Ponyville itself. All around them were all sorts of colorful ponies, most of them were Earth Ponies but there were a few unicorns and pegasi. In all honest, I was pretty new here and didn’t know where anything was, we were pretty much lost at this point.
“Hey I know where we can go to get something to eat” She said before grabbing me and dragging me to a gingerbread house looking building, I almost ended up tumbling due to our height differences but I managed to keep up with her sudden charge of speed.
“Alright, alright, alright, no need to pull my arm off.” I said with a chuckle as we made our way to where she took me, its not the strangest thing but hey, if it works, it works.
I reach over and push the double doors open, causing a little bell to ring above us.
“Hello and welcome to Subterfuge Corner!” A loud cheerful voice filled the air, a yellow stallion with a bit of an under bite waved over at me. “Who'll it be?”
Before I could say anything, Chara stood on her tippy toes and yelled “Chocolate, all of the chocolate!”
The yellow pony chuckle at Cara's energy. “What kind? Chocolate sundae? Chocolate muffin? Chocolate-” At this point, he was listing all sorts of recipes that started with ‘Chocolate’.
“All of the chocolate but none of the white chocolate that's not even real chocolate” she said interrupting him
“Uh, just grab her whatever has the most chocolate in it.” I suggested before things got outta hand, like Chara climbing over the counter and getting it for herself.
“Alright, they'll be Chocolate Surprise with the works.” He said as he made his way to the back. I patiently waited as I reached into my pouch, pulling out a rather large bag full of rupees I never used until now, I really hope they accept this kind of currency. A few minutes later, the Baker Pony returns with a large bowl in his teeth, I blinked a couple of times at such a skilled display of strength, how was he holding it without-.. Actually, that would explain the under bite he has.
“Here ya go, Chocolate Surprise with the works.” He said as he sat it down on the counter. The bowl indeed did have the works, it had chocolate.. Well, everything! Chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate- sheesh, this truly IS the works.
Suddenly I heard Chara scream. "MINE!” and before I knew it, the bowl vanished from the counter as she was constantly noming on it. My eyes went wide at this when she somehow ate it all, that bowl looked like it was a serving for three.
“Whoa! C-... oh boy, you’re gonna have brain freeze from that..” I said with a soft chuckle. “Uh.. Do you accept rupees?” I said nervously, I reached in and pulled out a red rupee. “It makes a jingle when you shake it.” I said before doing just that, the sound it made was just like when you picked it up most of the zelda games.
“Rubies?”
“Uh, no, Rupee, it's Hylian Currency.” I correct him, he somehow picked it up with his hoof, giving it a good examination.
“Well, I don’t usually accept jewels and I’ve never heard of Hylian, but I will admit, it looks high quality. Tell you what, I'll keep this and see what it’s going for in the market, then I'll get back to you another day and give you bits in exchange.” He said with a smile. I was relieved that he’d accept it, I wonder if this will work with all the other shops.
Suddenly I saw Chara walking up to me with an empty bowl and a smile that if I didn't know any better I would say she had an orgasm.” That was the best experience I've ever had.” she said she said in a dreamy voice
“Glad it satisfied ya.” I said with a sigh, I just know that’s a huge change of pace for her from her usual daily life, it was pretty much a flower finally blooming in a field of.. Of.. nuclear waste. Okay, Okay, I will admit that was a bad comparison, but it was all I could think of to describe Cara's expression, even with her Keaton mask on, I can tell she was feeling ALOT better.
She set to bowl on the counter, the kind pony took it away probably clean up. Soon, we left Sugarcube corner as Chara walked up beside me. “So, where do we go now, Link?” she said not as dreamy as before.
“Huh… I don’t know..” I said as I reached up to rub the back of my head. “What DO we do now?” I repeated after her. “I suppose we need a place to live, I mean ponyville knows about me and it wouldn’t do any good to live in the everfree forest.” I said as I gave our current situation some thought.
