Previous Chapter Next ChapterAuthor's Notes:
I wish to apologize for this chapter as I've been suffering from writer's block, however it didn't stop Night from typing what Chara has been doing while Link was away. This story contains two chapter in one.
CHAPTER 3
I was in the zone - hacking and slashing at random ponies, blood running down my arms as I watched all the little emotions that went through my victim’s eyes lose the light in them. Soon I was standing before Celestia with all her slaves chained up in humiliating ways.
“So here we are again.” I heard the Tyrant herself say on her throne, to which all I did was respond with a small nod. Rising my knife up in a swift movement, I grabbed her soul with a light blue rope right before slinging her over my head and into the ground, crashing her – and hearing her wing cracking in the process. In a quick motion she got back to her hooves and tried to blast me, but I managed to dodge the attack. Within that brief moment I countered by conjuring one hundred marble-sized orange soul bombs – and as I was about to launch them, my dream got interrupted.
“BEGONE FOUL NIGHTMARE!!” A voice boomed across the dreamscape as a full moon rose high into the air, sending out a powerful beam of cosmic rays at the false Celestia.
I was startled, I knew this was a dream but I didn't think anyone would interrupt it. “Luna what are you doing here” I couldn't help but shout in surprise.
Despite only been three days, Luna’s body had changed a tiny bit, mostly her size and her dark colors.
“We were just doing mine job as mistress of the night, we hath to make up for the foul deeds that the parasite hath done to Equestria!” She spoke loud and proud, sending out a windy wave along with her voice.
“Moonbutt, could you quiet down on The Voice?” I snapped at her, only to quickly add “If you really want to help everyone out don't make a Tantabus to punish yourself!”, with my hope about trying to nip that stupid idea right in the bud.
“But this is how we always spoken!” She said back, still using that booming voice.
“Yeah, but it will scare potential friends away – besides, I want to help out my favorite princess-” I said before throwing my hands up over my mouth again as the last part escaped my mouth.
‘I really need to learn how to control my mouth’ I thought to myself.
“Our name, is Princess Luna!” She shouted at me, causing me to tumble backwards.
“Hey princess, I'm not sure the other side of the Dreamscape heard you! Could you shout any louder!?” I replied sarcastically as I tried to get my ears to stop ringing.
“We’re in thy dreams, only we can hear us.” Luna said, then narrowed her eyes. “Also, what do thou mean by favorite princess? Thee barely know of us except for what we used to be.”
“Um, okay… Long story short” I breathed in dream-air before starting: “The Multiverse is a thing and there's a universe that sees a version of this universe as a fictional TV show and before I was sent to my version of Equestria I used to watch it and you were my favorite princess please don't hurt me!” I finished before getting on my knees, knowing fully well I'll get my ass kicked by best pony.
“Multiverse? TV Show? Thou speak in riddles!” Luna said, her voice still loud but not as hard as before.
“Okay here's the basics for it” I shifted awkardly as I quickly brought forth my memories “for everything that could exist there is a universe where it does exist; there is literally infinite universes out there - infinite versions of you, infinite versions of me and the only difference that could be between those versions is what they had for lunch or as drastic as the ones between my Celestia and yours.” I finished while showing her pictures and memories of my Celestia and hers.
Luna blinked in confusion. “But.. there should only be one of us, why are there clones of ourselves? Who made them and what right did that pony have to clone us!?” She asked angrily.
“I think it was an Almighty - and honestly, I think they created the Multiverse out of boredom. I know I would be bored after some time just watching the same old thing.” I said with a shrug.
“And where would this almighty be?” Luna said, pressing on with her questions.
“Luna, this guy literally made infinite universes out of boredom. Do you really want to try and mess with this guy?” I said worry leaking into my voice.
“Me and my own sister created Equus, what difference is there to what he possesses?” Luna said… I suddenly felt like an anvil just hit my head just now.. ‘D-did she just say they created this world!?’
“Okay, so you created one world this guy created infinite different worlds just because he was bored, you see there's a broad difference between one and infinite!” I said trying to get across to her just how fucking outclassed she is.
“Clearly, he had too much time on his hoofs.” Luna mused.
“Yeah, sure, let's go with that - but remember: he also made you and your sister out of boredom! He made everything literally!” I said trying and failing to talk her out of challenging him.
“Nonsense! We have been around since the very birth of the Equus Bloom!” Luna said with annoyance in her voice. “We art but Gods, another universe creator can’t be any difference than us.”
“Luna, even if you got the power of every version of you, he could beat your ass down like an upstart wannabe! He is the literal definition of omnipotent!” I exclaimed, then screamed in my mind ‘why won't this bitch understand!?’
“Beat our ass down? But there isn’t any donkeys.” Luna said, the volume of her voice lowering to show her confusion.
“It's a figure of speech goddamn it, it means he can beat you without a fight!!” I screamed.
“... I suppose he could, if he were a parasite.” Luna said, admitting at least a flaw that she has.
“Hahahaha!” I burst out laughing I couldn't help it the thought of him being a parasite was just too funny.
“Hey! It's not funny, a parasite operates on another realm of existence!” Luna said, shouting me down again.
“I'm sorry, it's just the thought of that guy being a parasite being hilarious! If he wanted to lower himself to coming here he would just will a body into existence.” I explained through my giggles.
A long uncomfortable silence filled the void. “... That is what We and mine sister did to live among our creation… But We guess according to thee, it is an insult…” She said, her voice taking on a solemn and sad tone of voice, the dreamscape beginning to waver. “We’re not worthy to be in your presence.” She turned around with her head hanging low, slowly beginning to walk away from Chara’s dream.
“No, wait! Luna! I was saying it was an insult to him!” I exclaimed to her before she could leave not wanting to hurt her feelings.
But she didn’t hear me, my dreams shattering to pieces and sending me falling through the darkness- OW! Actually, it was only me falling out of bed.
“God damn it, what time is it?” I said rubbing my head and getting off the ground noticing the sun just coming up.
Fluttershy came running in, and she halted in her rush before giggling at my position. “Oh dear. Are you alright?”
“No, I upset Luna when she misunderstood what I said while I was sleeping.” I said looking at the floor.
“What did you say that upset her?” Fluttershy as she kneeled to my level
“We were talking about a guy who created universes, and she told me how she and Celestia created this world right after I told her that if he ever chose to lower himself to entering a universe he created he could just will himself a body.” I said trying to avoid avoid Fluttershy's gaze.
“Oh yeah, I remember that - I mean Twilight told me about how Equus was born, the royal twins make themselves mortal to live with us.” Fluttershy explained.
“But I think I upset her when I said it was lower than him to do so.” I said looking up at her.
“Oh dear, you made her think she was lowering herself… Maybe next time you sleep, you could explain it to her? I mean… If she goes to dreamwalk again…” Fluttershy said, her voice full of worry.
“Shy, I'm going to go for a walk for a little while, okay?” I said getting up and dusting my clothes off.
“Why not walk with me? I’m going to be feeding the little ducklings~” Fluttershy with a smile, her voice full of cuteness when she mentions the ducks.
My eyes widened as I remembered all about that bitch Gilda and what she's going to do to poor ‘Shy.
“Sure, Fluttershy let's go.” I said my smile turning sinister as I turned away from ‘Shy.
Fluttershy walked off to get her bag of feed, which was a bag of bread crumbs, and soon she made her way out of her cabin and into the outside.
We made our way through town and made it to the pond with the ducks – where Fluttershy noticed that it was a little overcrowded.
“Oh, looks like we arrived at a busy time.” Fluttershy comments as she looked around at the lake.
“Hey shy, maybe you should try relocating some ducks!” I suggested with a smile.
“Relocate them?” Fluttershy said as she placed her hoof to her chin. “Maybe they’ll like the small river under the bridge?” she asked herself, deep in thought.
“Yeah-sure, let's go!” I said, wanting to hurry up and either make sure Gilda never bumped into ‘Shy or make sure I'm there to make the bitch back off.
With her soothing words and calming voice, she spoke with the ducklings, they response in their language and she understood them.
A group of ducks started to follower Fluttershy out of the lake and toward wherever the river is, not all of them followed as they were happy at the lake, quacking happily and dunking their head to get to the lake’s plants.
We were in the middle of the square when I noticed Gilda heading our way. I nudged ‘Shy over to the side so she wouldn't bump into her but Gilda moved right in the way again, I can only think ‘I guess we're doing this’ at her actions. “Shy, we need to stop.” I said in a way too calm voice. At this moment, I could've sworn I heard the universe laughing at me.
“Stop? Why?” Fluttershy asked as both her and the ducks stopped walking.
I didn't say anything stepping between her and Gilda waiting for that bitch to try and run into me, already with my hands on the handles to my knifes.
Gilda bumps into me trying to knock me down.
“Hey, watch where you going, dweeb!” Gilda said with a typically annoyed face.
“Okay bitch, one - you need to watch where you're going and two - I don't take orders from sluts like you.” I said in a annoyed tone of voice, but inside I was thinking ‘hello Misplaced aggression!’
“What did you just call me!?” Gilda said with an angry glare.
“Was it bitch slut cock sleeve or whore, oh wait... Sorry, the last two were said in my head.” I said sarcastically while on the inside I was cracking up.
Gilda took a deep breath, and then screamed loudly in my face.
I did a slow mocking clap “Congratulations! You've learned how to scream! It must be a new all-time high for you!” I mockingly congratulated her while clapping on.
Gilda had an angry scowl on her face, she raises her hand and- wait… Why did her talons sound like claws being sheathed out of metal?
With a quick movement, she swung her claws across of me, ripping my shirt and drawing some blood.
“Okay bitch.” I said through gritted teeth pulling out both of my knives, “let's do this.” I swung my knives immediately afterwards - empowering them with determination - slashing her across her chest drawing blood.
“SSSTTTOOOOOOOPP!” A loud scream broke out, and here comes the pink one herself, all while Gilda was clutching her chest wound.
“You know - “bitch” - you should thank the pink one cuz otherwise” I said before my voice switched to a demonic tone “you'd be dead where you stand!”
“Freak…” Gilda whispered, earning a disapproving glare from Pinkie Pie.
“No, I'm just complicated.” I said pulling up the load and Save button before hitting the save and then the load button disappearing and then reappearing in perfect health.
Fluttershy was staring at me with wide eyes. Despite being told about Chara’s powers, she still couldn’t believe what she saw.
“Whatever, I’ve got better places than to deal with you dorks.” Gilda said as she walked off to probably get her chest patched up, or tough it out like some wannabe.
“Yeah run along little chicken!” I said with a smirk before turning back to Fluttershy “‘Shy you okay there?” I asked knowing how she doesn't like violence.
“W-why…” She managed to speak out.
“Because she wanted to run into someone. It was either going to be you or me, and I didn't want her to make you cry so I stepped in!” I said trying to cheer her up.
“With violence?!” her soft voice turned into a yell, she realizes this and cringes at her own outburst.
“Shy, some people will only listen to violence - and unfortunately, Gilda is one of them.” I said with a frown on my face this is exactly what I didn't want to Fluttershy upset.
“But Chara…” Pinkie Pie spoke out, suddenly placing her hooves on my shoulders. “Ponyville is a nice place, we don’t use violence here…” she had a serious face as she spoke, something I’d never seen from the party-planner…
“Pinkie, that's the difference between us: I'll do whatever it takes to protect my friends even if I have to leave a trail of bodies.” I said absolutely serious at this, I already had a body count in the Millions.
Fluttershy slowly backed away after hearing me say this, she turned around and ran away, crying.
“I fucked up, didn’t I?” I asked not expecting an answer but got one anyway.
“Yyyyeep.” Pinkie pie said with a sigh.
“God damn it I was trying to stop this!” I screamed in sadness and rage.
“Don’t worry!” Pinkie said, that upbeat attitude coming back in full force. “We can cheer her up together… Maaaaaybeeeee?”
“But she is scared of me now Pinkie.” I said voice full of regret and tears in my eyes.
“Cheer up! We can throw a party, parties always make everything better!” Pinkie proudly exclaimed.
I didn't say anything as I turned about to walk to Sugar Cube Corner but I was stopped before I could take a step.
“Hey… that was a pretty awesome thing standing up for Flutters, but it was uncool to hurt her like that.” Rainbow Dash said, she must of witnessed what went down. “Honestly, I didn’t know Gilda had anger issues like that…”
“But I didn't stop Fluttershy from running off crying and now she's scared of me.” I said in a small quiet voice staring at the ground tears in my eyes before trying to move past her
“Don’t cry, don’t cry!” Pinkie Pie said as she went to hug me - but I brushed her off, quickly using my save point to load myself to Sugar Cube Corner.
Much like the many other times I’ve order from here, I had my usual chocolate kamikazee, although Mr. Cake changed its name to the Chara Special for some reason.
‘Why!? why couldn't I stop Fluttershy from running off crying!?’ I thought to myself. Unable to figure it out, I got up after finishing my chocolate, deciding to go to the Everfree Forest and warn her of the plunder vines.
All was quiet in the Everfree Forest, or so it was would be if it weren’t for the loud groaning of wood moving toward me.
“Everfree I know you're there, just come on out…” I said loudly.
But the only response I got, was a lone black vine pointing me, as if watching.
“Do we really have to do this? I know you can manifest anywhere within the forest.” I said with a bit of annoyance.
The vine groaned in annoyance as it realized it could not communicate with Chara - the only reason she can with Link was because of his Triforce.
“I came here for two reasons! One was to warn you about the plunder vines that are sapping the Tree of Harmony’s power; and two: can I hide here for a bit?” I asked her politely.
Suddenly, causing me to have a look of ‘wtf’, Everfree summoned a plunder vine, causing my future knowledge of my world to be skewered sideways.
“Um you're not going to destroy the Tree of Harmony are you? cuz I really really really don't want to have to fight you…” I said in a practically begging voice.
Slowly, the vine grows multiple branches to create a frowning face - it looked like Everfree wished it could talk to me and tell me what it wanted to say, hrrm.. What a dilemma.
“Could you try spelling out what you want to say with your Vines, Everfree?” I asked, trying to come up with an idea.
A moment of silence goes by, eventually she takes action, slowly coming together of multiple vines, plants, and nature life.
Soon, I’m staring wide-eyed at what she just did…
It just created a pony construct that was now staring at me with glowing blue eyes.
“Um… hi?” I say waving nervously at her.
“... For… give me, child… I… should of.. Thought of this… long time ago…” She said, her voice sounding like multiple logs rubbing together just to form out the words.
“I'm just glad I can help.” I replied to her, still nervous as all living hell – all while screaming in my mind ‘what have I done!’.
“I… would not… harm anything.. That is part of me… or.. nature.. “ She said slowly, the vocals forming a little faster now.
“Hehe so just me right?” I asked half joking and have hoping I was wrong.
“Only… because you went… berserk that one… day….” She said.
“You remember the nightmare, right? Well, she had poisoned my mind before I went berserk here, so I'm sorry about that.” I apologized to her, only to ask “So anyway, Link told me you said I'm not natural… what's up with that?” with honest confusion in my question.
“Because everything has a… cycle. You, however… Break the Life and.. Death cycle.” She explained.
“I only come back because my determi-” I said before being interrupted
“There is no need to explain, child. I overheard you… explaining it days ago. Remember?” She asked.
“Yeah, I remember that. You know, you're actually really nice. You want to be friends?” I asked not thinking that she would.
She went silent after that, as if she felt unsure how to answer that, she understood the word, but it was still rather alien in her mind.
“Everyone needs someone to talk to; and plus you'll be here as long as this Forest is here, and I'll be here for… well, until I'm not determined anymore. Besides, Link won't be here forever.” I said in a solemn voice
A gentle humming laugh came from her mouth, she looked like she just realized something. “Seems we do have… Something in common, we are both… immortal.” She said with amusement in her voice. “You forget… child that the… alicorn twins will be around with you.”
“But they don't understand that sometimes you have to kill the threat like me and you do.” I said with full seriousness in my voice thinking of pain that can be avoided if they just kill Lord Tirek and Starlight Glimmer now.
“However… Even threats can be reformed or given a second chance.” She explained before I interrupted her.
“Even those who plan to destroy the timeline out of petty spite?” I asked with a raised eyebrow causing Everfree to stiffen.
“Don’t worry. Link told me of that, and he has a plan, but I do not understand how a song can help.” She explained.
“It's called the Song of Time, and it allows Link to rewind time or if played different versions fast forward a day or slow down time to all but himself!” I explained, loving that I could lecture those older than me.
“Fascinating… I need to speak with Link again and have him explain how he got this power..” Everfree said.
“He got it the same way I got mine by becoming a displaced or dimensionally misplaced. There's this big guy from the void called The Merchant who's been taking random humans and turning them into whatever they dressed as or in my case whoever they wanted to be the most.” I said feeling sorry for Link.
“Ah, that fateful day when he glided into my forest in that strange crystal.” She said with interest.
“Yeah, I feel sorry for him, he lost his family, his friends, everyone he cared about back in his world. But as for me… I had nothing like that - not even my own family cared about me.” I said sitting down and hugging my knees.
“... But he does have you, correct?” She said, making a good point.
“Of course he has me! But I'm no substitute for his family! I'm just a little kid he has to take care of...” I said, tears in my eyes while hugging my knees closer.
“He still considers you a friend, you along with the other tokens he collects, are the only connections he has to his world.” She explained.
I would have continued but we were interrupted when we heard the mane six screaming my name.
“I must go, only you and Link know of my sentience and my existence. No one else must know of me.” With that said, she unravelled her body, returning to being just a normal creepy forest.
“Bye” I said before returning to hugging my knees. In a matter of a moment the ponies burst into the clearing with me, I didn't even acknowledge their presence.
“Thank Celestia!” Fluttershy said with relief, the rest doing the same. They suddenly got together and gave me a group hug.
“Shy, I thought you were scared of me… why did you come looking for me?” I asked with confusion in my voice trying not to look at her.
“I wasn’t scared, I was just very upset, I’m sorry Chara…” Fluttershy said
“Don’t ever do that again, darling. Poor Flutters was worried sick.” Rarity said.
“It's not like I was in any danger - I can't exactly die.” I said with a eye roll at her.
‘Seriously? Did they all forget I was Immortal?’
“Hey.” Twilight spoke up, suddenly giving a soft bop on my head. “That doesn’t mean someone out there won’t try or can get rid of you.” She said with logic, always the smart one.
“Only a god can get rid of my power.” I said with a scoff now knowing that Celestia was a goddess.
“You were poisoned by Nightmare Moon before. You may be strong and you can’t die… somehow. But someone might try to control and use you.” Twilight said, making a valid point.
I glared at her, as I really really hated being reminded of my failures - but then I have an evil idea. “Twilight did you know that the Multiverse is real and I have seen other versions of Equestria have fun with that!” I said happily pulling up the load button and loading my save point at ‘Shy’s before she can start questioning me.
“Oh, I already read about that theor-” Sadly for Twilight, she never got to finish her sentence.
I giggled as I reappeared in Fluttershy's Cottage, ‘I love messing with purple smart’. But I was interrupted from my thoughts by a carrot hitting me upside the head.
The lil’ rabbit realized who I was, but then began chattering with his teeth, clearly pissed off at me. I decided it was time to put the fear of me in this little shit, so I put on my best psychopathic smile and made my eyes bleed black blood, giving him a devilish glare. “The only reason you're still alive is because you're ‘Shy’s pet.” I said in a demonic voice before turning back to normal right before there was a knock on the cottage door.
Angel narrowed his eyes, pointed at his own, then pointed at me, telling me he’s going to keep his eyes on me… Well damn, the lil’ shit’s got nerves of steel.
I walked over to the door and opened it roughly as I stated “what do you want”, not even caring who it was.
“Mail for Fluttershy!” It was Derpy the mailmare, a few minutes late though.
“She's not here right now” I said with my eye twitching while I thought ‘as adorable as Derpy is I don't want to deal with her right now’.
Derpy then handed me over a few pieces of mail which for some reason smelled of muffins.
I was about to walk back in when I saw the main six coming out of the Everfree. “S’up, you certainly took your time.” I said with a smirk on my face.
Rainbow Dash gave me a quite annoyed glare, Fluttershy showed disapprovement, Twilight ignored me, Applejack left to her farm, Rarity left as well probably to her Carousel Boutique, while Pinkie Pie bounced away, saying something about an important party.
“Oh and here's your mail” I said handing Fluttershy her weird muffin smelling letters.
She took them with her, then had a slight look of annoyance. “I told her to take it easy on those…” Rainbow Dash then said her goodbye, flying off while Twilight walked off, knowing she wouldn’t get her answers on Soul Energy.
“Well that was rude of her, she didn't even say goodbye.” I said while thinking ‘At least have some goddamn courtesy gay pride.’
Then I realized the most shocking recent event so far: “Wait… did Twilight actually leave with without asking me about Soul energy!? It's a miracle!” I screamed falling down on knees.
Fluttershy suddenly puffs up her cheeks. “Well, of course, they’re still a tiny bit upset from you hurting somepony. I mean yes, we figured out she’s a bully, but no pony or even non ponies deserves that.” She said, giving me a glare, although her look wouldn’t be as good as the Stare she’ll learn later on.
I just rolled my eyes as I entered back into the Cottage, I didn't need them telling me what I did was wrong - I know it was and I don't care.
Fluttershy sighed at me as she shifted through the mail, reading the titles and following after me. She closed the door and took her seat on her favorite chair, and with that she started reading each up silently.
I sighed and pulled out my phone deciding to listen to some music to pass the time
Only for Fluttershy to hand me over a piece of mail that looks like it's made of a different kind of paper. “For you.” She said, trying to keep herself calm after today’s events.
It had Celestia's Royal seal on it, and so - deciding that I didn't want to read it and would rather hear it from the horse's mouth; pun intended; I brought up my load button, and decided to load myself right in the middle of her throne room.
“Chara.” She said with a stern look, her famous poker face mode on.
“Yes sunbutt?” I said calmly but on the inside I was thinking ‘shit shit shit shit shit shit’.
She took a gentle breath and brought her hooves to her chin, she didn’t say anything. Only the sounds of an old grandfather clock being heard in the quiet room. She was giving me a disapproved motherly look and; for some reason; I was feeling pressure radiating from her being.
“Whatever it is I didn't do it!” I screamed not being able to take the silence anymore.
“Chara… I know you had a rough past… But you need to learn to think before you act, I know it is an accident and a misunderstanding with Luna, but attacking Gilda? Yes, I know she started it, but you could have handled it differently.” She said, quickly holding a hoof before I could respond. “Even if you are doing it to protect others - now if she was out to harm Fluttershy, then I would understand. But if she was out to kill, you should either paralyze the threat, or kill it as a last resort.” … Geez, that sounded harsh, even from Celestia, she’s the avatar of peace here and she says that?
“I wasn't aiming to kill, maim or seriously injure but not kill.” I said doing my best imitation of Dobby.
The way Celestia was looking at me, it was like she was some kind of boss lady I need to be careful of, she was still bossy like one, both hooves together under chin and her leaning forward on the throne. “Still, be careful. I don’t want Ponyville to fear you, or worst, they plead me to turn you to stone.” She said.
“I'll tell you what I told Pinkie… I'll do whatever it takes to keep my friends safe even if I have to leave a trail of bodies, and you and me both know that I will.” I said to her in the same voice I told Pinkie this, looking straight into her eyes. I really wanted this day to be over with.
“If those bodies were ponies and non-ponies out to kill, then I’d understand.” Celestia said and bowed her head. “Just be mindful of what I say. Harm others only if you have no choice. I have a reason why I try to keep the peace around here through the power of friendship, it's my way of making up for the war in the past. I don’t want anymore blood on my hooves or my lands, do you understand?” Celestia said in a motherly but soft voice, as if she was trying to be caution and choose her words wisely, like she was talking to a fragile child.
“You know Celestia, I just don't feel guilty about killing anymore to me it's all just a number.” I said telling my biggest secret.
She still kept her poker face going. “I am aware, considering how willing you are to do it - regardless of consequences or the ill aftermath it may bring.” She said.
“Celestia how are you able to feel guilty after killing so many yourself?” I asked her.
“There’s a difference between killing to protect, and killing someone in cold blood.” She said, her eyes gleaming a small fire. “The first time is always the hardest.”
“I guess that's just the downside of my powers, the more I kill the more powerful I get but also the more disconnected from the thought of killing I get.” I said with an emotionless chuckle.
“Just remember, almost everypony have never experienced death. Only me, my soldiers, and maybe my sister knows what it's like.” Celestia said, allowing her hooves to be placed on the ground, sitting like a proper horse. “Let’s not discuss this further.”
“Yeah, why did you really write me a letter” I said looking her in the eyes.
“Because I felt it should be talked about personally rather than me writing words of wisdom on a scroll.” Celestia said.
“No, the letter got to Fluttershy's house way too fast, you'd have to write it first thing in the morning for it to even make it.” I said putting my hands on my hips
Celestia simply stated: “Magic”, and after a moment’s silence, she added as if it were an afterthought “And of course, I promised Derpy extra muffins. Anyways, I believe you should go to my sister and explain yourself.” She said.
“Now I believe that is why you truly called me here.” I said as I left, heading towards Luna's room. On the way I passed by many Nobles who glared at me. I was about halfway to Luna's room before I turned the corner and bumped into Silver Bullet. ”Hey Noob, what's up.” I said half-heartedly.
“Excuse me, I have somewhere to be. Have a good day, Chara.” He said, moving to walk past me, showing zero annoyance.
‘Him telling me to have a good day just sounded wrong’ I thought to myself as I shuddered before continuing on my way to Luna. I finally made it to the double doors with a moon print on the front. I reached up and knocked on the wooden door closest to me.
“Yes?” A young voice spoke.
“Hey Luna can I talk to you.” I said loudly.
“And why do thee want to speak to someone who ‘puts herself lesser’?” She asked, she sounded like she didn’t want any head-games.
“I didn't mean it like that! I meant it as an insult to people like you and him!” I said trying to make her understand my logic.
“Regardless, it is still directed at me.” Luna said with a scuff.
“I'm trying to say that most gods wouldn't lower themselves to interacting with lowly Mortals unless they wanted to start a religion so they have worshippers.” I said trying to explain the gods that I knew of from Earth.
“Because we wanted to walk among our creation, to show that we existed and that we care about them. They would have freaked out if they saw us in our true form towering over them. After all… the mind of a mortal can be a fickle thing.” Luna explained.
“At least you're better than most of the Gods. I know of a goddess who cursed a mortal to never be able to look at someone without turning them to stone all because a god raped her in her Temple.” I said recalling the story of Medusa.
A moment of silence passed, but eventually the doors open to reveal Luna wearing what could be counted as sleeping wear for ponies. “In this universe or another…” She asks.
“My birth universe on a planet called Earth.” I said, then gave myself a moment to think. “And that's just one of the tamer stories anyway.” I finished recalling all of the shit that the so called gods have done.
“Good. For a moment there, We wanted to have a small talk with this so called ‘Goddess’.” She said. I think I’m gonna need to talk to Celestia about Luna’s ‘I challenge all powerful beings and their ways’ attitude.
“You know? You look adorable in your nightie.” I said the first thing that came to mind after a moment.
“U-uh… thanks?” She said with slight hesitation.
“You do realize I would be 17 right now if I aged.” I said with a sarcastic voice.
“I’m an older mare though. Plus, no one has ever commented on me before, even if this is only for sleeping in. After all, I sleep through the day so I can dream walk by night.” She said.
“Well then maybe you can help me stay up all night as well” I said in a flirty voice.
Suddenly, she placed a hoof on my face. “I don’t swing your way, so don’t even continue.” She said with her head raised, it wasn’t a snooty expression, it was more like ‘I’m not your type’ kind of expression.
“Ahhhh! Where am I going to find another Immortal to screw!” I exclaimed, causing Luna to blush brightly.
“You don’t even have the proper tool!” Luna replied desperately as she blushed in embarrassment at my gesture. “Behave yourself, Chara. Or do I need the guards to escort you out?”
“Hahaha th-the guards actually being of use that's funny hahaha!” I said falling to the ground laughing.
Suddenly, Silver Bullet appeared right behind me. How’d he get there without me hearing his armor? What, does he have some kind of Princess-Sense?
Without saying a word, I was suddenly teleported out of the castle- wait what… That lil’ son of a-
“Oh, you want to play that way, huh?” I said loading myself back into the throne room and then activating overclock to run back in front of Princess Luna's room reappearing in front of both Silver and Luna, I quickly created a save point before Silver Butthurt could do anything.
Luna blinked a few times at how quickly I got back here.
“Shall I?” Silver Bullet asked.
“No need, she’ll just come back again through her mad method.” Luna said, Silver Bullet bowed down to her before returning to his post.
“See what I mean about them actually being able to do anything?” I said with a raised eyebrow, “Really? they're just the security system so you and your sister know where to throw your Godly might or the canon folder to stall ‘till you arrive.” I said with a shake of my head.
“… We’re immortal, not invincible. We can’t age, but we still wear the coil of a mortal, and we created this security to prevent ponies from misbehaving or if we found out they hold ill intentions.” Luna explained. “Please, do not tell other ponies of this.”
“Yeah but I'm talking about real threats! Like Lord Tirek, King Sombra, Discord, Queen Chrysalis and her entire changeling Army - or the most dangerous - a unicorn with a spell to go to the past and keep Twilight and her friends from ever getting their cutie marks.” I said in a happy tone.
“We know.” Luna answered me in a dull tone. “Mine sister warned Us about that already, after she got me up to speed on recent events.” Luna went silent as she was thinking about somepony.
“Hey Discord is Immortal right?” I asked ‘Maybe me and Discord can get together.’ I thought to myself.
“He’s beyond immortal. There’s a reason why we sealed him away, we couldn’t harm him because of his strange physics.” Luna said with a deadpan expression, remembering all of the insane things that mad draconian did the last time they met.
“Maybe me and him could hook up.” I said causing Luna to pale.
“Filly, and I mean this for your own good… Do not try to date a mad pony. The only thing he’ll love is chaos.” Luna said.
“Then I'll just have to introduce him to the insanity that is the internet.” I said before I started giggling thinking of the many different things that I have seen.
“Right… Anyways, what are you here for, Chara?” Luna said.
“I don't know, You want to hang out?” I asked with a shrug since I already accomplished what I originally came here for.
“Forgive Us but We must decline, for We need sleep for tonight’s dream walking. ” Luna said.
“Well I guess I'll go talk to sunbutt before I go.” I said before walking down the corridor towards the throne room.
On the way there, I accidentally bump into a familiar stallion.
“Oh, sorry about that, M’lady.” The white furred yellow maned stallion said, looking very different compared to what I remember. He extends a hoof out to help me up.
“That's all right I guess?” I said thoroughly confused as to why he wasn't being a dick.
“Oh, you must be Chara, my Aunt Celestia often talks about you.” BlueBlood said as he pulled me up to my feet.
“Only good things I hope.” I say in a joking manner, dusting my clothes off.
He raised a hoof and leveled it off. “Some good, some bad.” BlueBlood said. “I gotta admit, I’m happy that you stood up to those ignorant bucks.”
“Oh you mean those prissy Nobles?” I asked him, raising an eyebrow questionably.
“Argh, they aren’t even worthy of being called ‘Noble’” Blueblood said as if the word was poisoned with toxins.
“Well, there's something that we thoroughly agree on. If I had it my way I would make it that all Nobles earn their titles.” I said was equal venom in my voice.
“You know how my Auntie is, all will be treated equally and what-not, but she does often have to use some tough love on some of the more…” Blueblood said, rotating his hoof’s wrist around as if searching for a word for the more corrupt rich ponies.
“Greedy bastards?” I say trying to throw him some ideas.
“That’s one way of putting it.” Blueblood said with a chuckle. “So, what brings you to the castle?”
“Well, I was summoned by your aunt for a few things, and now I need to talk to her again about Luna thinking of challenging all powerful beings in their ways.” I said with a sigh.
“Ah, that aunt Luna. She has a lot to learn, like how not allow her own power to go to her head.” Blueblood said.
“I'll admit that she is powerful in her mortal form, but I'd still be able to stall them if any of them were corrupted so Link could stop them. I mean… really, I did stall Nightmare Moon on my own” I said puffing out my chest in pride about my ability to stall the nightmare.
“Link? Ah, that… What race is he?” Blueblood asked, not knowing the exact answer.
“Well he's Hylian and the bearer of the almighty Triforce and I am human and the only Soul master!” I said trying to inflate my ego
“Don’t let it get to your head, I don’t mean it in a insulting way though…” Blueblood said.
“You're right… I shouldn't let my ego get the better of me - I mean, really? I only stalled Nightmare Moon, I wasn't actually able to beat her.” I said looking down at my hands and remembering how she tortured me.
“At least she was purified by the Elements, otherwise I wouldn’t have two aunts… That and I would have a hard time finding a teacher who knew dream walking and moon powers.” Blueblood explained. Wait, what? Oh, I see now. A tip of his hair looks a bit like Luna’s.
“You know, you're better than most of the Blue Bloods across the Multiverse, if not all of them you're not stuck up like them.” I said as we reached the throne room and I went in, leaving Blue Blood confused.
He blinked a few times. “I’m sorry, could you repeat that? Multi-verse?” Blueblood said.
“The Multiverse theory is not just a theory, it's a fact - and I'm actually proof of that as I'm not from this Equestria and Link is not from this universe originally.” I said. I turned around when I noticed a rather tired Celestia.
“Oh dear, at least you and him mean well, even if you are a bit of a trickster.” Blueblood said.
“Hey sunbutt, you need to talk to your sister about trying to challenge all powerful beings and their ways. I mean, really? She was going to try and challenge someone who literally created the Multiverse - and I'm talking about the big bang too or whatever you call the beginning of the universe here!” I say interrupting someone who's trying to convince her that she should pay for his new pool.
“Ah, the Equus Bloom is what you mean to say.” Blueblood said.
“I hope you two are getting along…” Celestia said with a tired voice, her hair somewhat of a mess.
“You want me to get rid of the ‘noble’ who's driving you crazy with trying to convince you that you should pay for his pool.” I asked her to which she actually stopped and looked like she was thinking about it.
“I’ll take care of it myself. And if he oversteps his boundaries, I’ll just have to show him why I’m called the mother of all ponies.” She said with a friendly smirk.
“Oh you have a paddle lying around?” I say with a smirk of my own causing the nearby selfish Nobles to excuse themselves.
She leans forward to my ear. “A burning hot one. That way, their flank has a permanent bruise so they know their place. I know, it's a bit harsh, but tough love is needed.” she said causing my eyes to widen.
“Excuse me…” Blueblood said while coughing into his hoof before he had to leave, wow, I never seen somepony sweat that fast before.
“See you later Bluey.” I said as he ran out of the throne room. I turned back to Celestia “So sunbutt, you have anything else to do?” I asked with a raised brow.
“I’m just going to go to the balcony for some fresh air. I finally reached the end for today’s schedules of meetings.” Celestia said with a sigh as she walked passed me. Poor sunbutt, must be more tired than I thought.
“Do you want to go for a peaceful walk in the gardens?” I asked her thinking that might cheer her up
“... Actually, now that you mention it. We should go check up on my favorite lawn ornament.” She said with a joking chuckle.
“You know if he actually didn't just use the bad part of Chaos I can see me and him getting along… I mean, there really is such a thing as good chaos - that's how things get invented.” I said trying to defend him a little.
“... I know. We… go way back, back when he used it for making others laugh. But as he got older, his pranks got worse.” Celestia said a with sigh.
“You know he's completely conscious while he's a statue right and he can hear everything we're saying.” I said as we stopped in front of his statue giving it a look of sympathy.
“I know. Although, I’d advise you to keep your mind clear, Discord, despite being in stone, can hear your thoughts.” Celestia suggested.
“Well then Discord if you ever decide to stop being a dick I think we could be friends.” I said before noticing a crack in his statue. “Um princess is that supposed to be there?” I asked pointing at the crack running up and down his statue.
“Oh no… no no no no no…” Celestia runs off, most likely going to write a scroll to Twilight Sparkle and the rest of her friends.
I decided that I was going to stall him as long as I could. First, taking a hold of his soul via telekinesis and then I wrapped my light blue strings around Discord’s stone prison just as he was about breaking out.
CHAPTER 4
Discord let out a dramatic laughter as he took a step forward, only to notice he’s entangled right at the end. “Oh, why hello theeeere. I would shake your hand, but it seems I’m a bit… tied up at the moment.” He said with a chuckle.
“Greetings, Discord. I'm Chara and I honestly wouldn't mind having you around but you're kind of a dick, so I'm going to hold you here ‘till the elements get here.” I said tightening my hold on him.
“Oh, no no no no, no, that simply will not do!” Discord said, his eyes suddenly popped out of his eyes as my blue light somehow cutted him into pieces-wait what?
“You do realize that won't be enough I have a hold of you with soul telekinesis.” I said while lifting all of his pieces.
“Oh please. I have no soul.” Discord said as a fiery background suddenly appear behind him… Did he just quote Squidward?!
“Dude, you're nothing but a Soul, or I wouldn't be able to grab you.” I said lifting him off the ground before slamming him back down.
“As fun as this is, I have bigger fish to fry.” Discord said, suddenly poofing into a chief, then somehow I was flipped over from behind by a giant spatula.
“You know I was just going to hold you here but now I'm going to grind you into paste!” I screamed angrily - grabbing him with telekinesis, pulling him towards me as I made a standing ball of black and dark blue Soul energy right before I jammed it straight into his stomach as he reached me.
Suddenly, right before my very eyes, he… literally turn into paste.
My eye started twitching as I picked him up and slammed him around with my telekinesis. Every time I slammed him around, though - I kept feeling a dull pain in the back of my head.
‘… Ok, now he’s just pissing me off!’, I thought angrily as I noticed him pinning himself on my chest – in the shape of a purple heart. Despite the fact that he’s there, he’s suddenly behind me, slamming me into a mud puddle that appeared out of nowhere. “You’re being a stick in the mud.” Discord said with a frown.
“I will not stand for this! I will not be humiliated by you, retarded ass!” I scream in fury as I fire off a ball of orange yellow and black point blank at his face.
“Careful there, Chara. You might pop a vein.” Discord said, suddenly poking me in the forehead. “Or seven~” He chuckles as he worked his chaos magic, causing the dull throb to get even stronger.
“That's it! Everyone dies!” I scream as I summon up a giant ball of black and orange Soul energy above my head.
Discord just kept pissing me off more and more - and now he’s suddenly dressed up as Trunk, screaming “Father, don’t do it, you’ll destroy the planet!” After which Discord started laughing out loud, causing the pain to increase ten-fold… What’s going on!?
“I will kill as many people as I have to as long as you are one of them!” I screamed in rage as I started firing off energy rounds at him with him dodging and me destroying the entirety of the gardens.
Discord was… Oh dear lord… He’s dressed up as a bull matador, yelling “olé!” with every wave of his red flag like my energy balls were angry bulls charging at him.
The pain was almost unbearable at this point, upon which I fell down to my knees - holding my head tightly, not being able to concentrate on anything other than it – right before feeling like something was ripping from the back of my head.
“Hmm… it took longer than usual… Oh well, Ta-ta~!” Discord said, waving a small handkerchief as if he was a female. He left me where I remained, withering in nothing but pain, it was far worse than dealing with Nightmare’s torture.
‘I’m going to kill him… I’m going to goddamn kill him with a smile on my face!’ I mentally screamed in rage.
Just as the pain subsided I felt something burst from the back of my head, I looked up to see Frisk looking down at me I could only stare at her in shock as she stared at me in disappointment, she even had that emotionless face she was famous for. She opened her mouth to speak, but instead of words, her dialog box appears.
“[I’m disappointed in you.]” Her dialog box read.
“You have no right to even try to guilt me, Frisk! I only did what I had to do.” I said getting up and staring at her angrily.
“[I don’t have to, Chara. Can’t you feel it?]” Her dialog box asked.
“The fuck are you talking about, Frisk?” I asked wondering what she was talking about.
She did not speak at all, instead, she pointed above me, making me look up to see… w-what?
[You felt your sins crawling on your back.]
“No, no you fucking don't! Don't you dare pull a fucking comedian! I will not have it!” I screamed angrily – while starting to worry as I started feeling as if bugs with needles for legs were crawling on my back.
“[They’ve been there all your life, Chara… It took Discord to bring out the karma retribution.]” Frisk’s dialog box explained.
“B-But I'm not supposed to feel guilt! That's your thing! I'm supposed to be able to slaughter by the hundreds and not feel a damn thing!” I exclaimed as the feeling started to become unbearable.
“[The roles have switched, Chara. The original Chara controlled me and my actions, and it's time for me to do the same to you. It’s time for your own pacifist run as long as I exist.]” Frisk’s dialog read.
“I will not let you take control! I'm Chara fucking Dreamer! The most determined bitch to ever live!” I yelled in anger while getting ready to fight as I summoned both of my knives.
Suddenly, the feeling got stronger as I gave in to my anger and hatred. “[You’re only hurting yourself. ]” Her dialog box read, still holding that same expression on her face.
[Frisk is trying to spare you]
“[Remember your friend, Cole?]” her dialog box read, making me freeze where I stood… ‘T-that was one of my friends before I was displaced... He moved away a while ago and we lost contact.’
“D-Don't you dare bring him up, you bitch!” I screamed, taking a slash at her - funneling all my hatred for her through my knives - sending an arc of black energy that she sidestepped.
“[Remember when Darryl snuck you into the museum?]” Her Dialog read. How does she know my memories?!
“How dare you bring him up, I'm going to fucking kill you!” I said tears running down my face as pure hatred was starting to cover me.
“[Remember the day you met Cole?]” her dialog read. The more memories she dug up, the more painful the sin becomes… No, I will not let my determination falter!
“You think you can break me with memories of the ones I called brother and father!?” I screamed as I pushed overdrive to the max, pouring all my hatred and determination into this one overhead swing.
“[If Link hadn’t summoned you, you would still be suffering in that dreaded world, you wouldn't have gotten your favorite chocolate ice cream, you wouldn’t be able to have fun and… You wouldn’t have made another friend and a guardian.]” That sentence made me freeze in mid-swing as I was overwhelmed by emotions.
‘What is going on why is this happening to me now!?’ I screamed in my mind, all while trying to force all the emotions back into the bottle that they had been in for the longest.
[Frisk is trying to spare you again.]
She spreads open her arms and exposes her heart, the dialog Mercy appearing over her head. “Let it go.” She said with a smile.. A smile that you just couldn’t ignore, a smile that could force anyone to do the same.
‘Dunno what shadow chara should say…’
[YYyeaaa, I’m gonna have to interrupt this sappy moment] A new dialog box appeared, its font bleeding with darkness. [You see… Chara needs her darkness, it's what keeps her safe.]
Suddenly, something that looked like my own shadow formed in front like she was a venom symbiote clone of me, she smiled widely at me, her eyes bleeding down her cheeks like me, there was even black blood sticking to her sharp teeth.
“Okay, who the hell are you!?” I said finally getting a hold of my emotions now that I had something to focus on that wasn't Frisk. I stopped feeling sins crawling out on my back as I stared at my double.
“[I’m your Best Friend.]” My reflection said with a giggle, she sounded like she had two voices talking together.
“You know? I already like you, since I don't feel sins crawling down my back while I'm talking to you.” I said gaining a smirk.
“[Because she’s trying to trick you… Don’t you recognize the Nightmare mixed with your level of violence?]” Frisk’s dialog read hauntingly.
“Well I'll just have to kill her and get it back.” I said with a shrug using overclock again and trying to kill this copy of me
“[That’ll only make her Stronger, she feeds off of negative emotions. Don’t you remember? The very poison Link healed you from?]” Frisk said as she was desperately trying to use good memories. “[The reason why you no longer feel sins is because that Nightmare is trying to stop me.]”
“I don't care, both of you are going to die and I'm going to get my power back!” I screamed sending a wave of determination at both of them.
My burst of energy hit Frisk, causing her heart to break.
[But it refused]
Meanwhile, the Shadow Chara literally inhaled my attack, then let out a relieved sigh, like she just had a delicious meal.
“[There’s only two paths. Save yourself, or save your friend?]” She said, making me remember all of the friends I made, all of the friends who accepted me for who I am. Luna, Celestia, Fluttershy, Link, Blueblood, Mr. Cake.
“Well then! I'm just going to have to try something that I'm not sure is going to work!” I stated, pulling up the erase button. “I'm going to erase all three of us!” I exclaimed with a smile, “Unless the Nightmare gives me back my level of violence and you Frisk stop trying to guilt-trip me!” I finished giggling at the end.
[Keh hehehehehehehehehehe] My shadow double laughed in echo with my own.
“[... You’re only erasing your life. The main screen will be your only friend. The world will be the same, except there will be sadness with your friends.]” Frisk said with slight hesitation, meanwhile the Shadow was giggling madly.
“Well the nightmare will lose all of my level of violence as well.” I said with a smirk startling the nightmare.
Frisk went silent at first, but a smile slowly crept onto her innocent face. [I’ll still be here with you, friend. Only your new path will determine who you bring out. Not unless of course Discord touches you again, who knows?] Frisk said with a giggle that sounded a helluva lot better than my Chara-wanna-be.
“So… Nightmare? Will you give me my level of violence back or are you going to risk being erased along with me since you are fused with it!”I said giving a giggle when I saw its scared face.
[... Go ahead. Even if you do erase me, I will always come back as long as there is sweet, sweet, negativity to feed on. I am their mercy, I am their vengeance, I am DETERMINATION!] Shadow Chara said, making me cringe when she quoted those words.
“Are you willing to risk being erased from time and space? Because I'm not coming back if I press this!” I talked back, holding my hand over the erase button.
[Your physical body, sure. But not your own power. As Frisk pointed pointed out, you’ll be seeing a logo of your life.] My shadow clone said… ‘Jeez, why is she so cocky?’
“Really? I'm not doing that, I'm erasing my life, my name, my past - everything that is me - is going to be erased; and that means everything I did to gain that level of violence that you are currently fused with will be gone with it!”
[I said go ahead! You’ll be DYING to have me back when you’re level one, helpless and feeble, without your precious guardian to save you~] She said, suddenly shifting her facial expression to look like Link screaming.
I pumped all of my power into the erase button, turning it from a regular erase button into the true erase button - a button that would truly erase my existence - there wouldn't be anything left, not even my powers or Soul would exist. “I guess it worked.” I said before looking at the nightmare.
“[Not really much of a choice, Chara~ Erase or not!]” Shadow Chara said, slowly turning her head in a 360 angle.
Frisk lets out a sigh of annoyance. [Nightmare Moon, why ar-] Frisk was interrupted.
[NIGHTMARE MOON IS DEAD!] Shadow Chara screamed, tears suddenly going down her face. [I don’t want to be another nobody! Chara is the only piece of life I can cling to!]
“Oh? So you need me? Well, if you don't give me my power back you won't have me!” I stated, having my hand a inch above the true erase button with a smirk on my face.
Shadow Chara brandished her knife. [And if I do, I’ll end up like a lingering shadow, trying to cling to another one’s Nightmare to feed upon. I’m a parasite, a symbiote] She explained… Huh, I think her slight mental breakdown gave her some common sense, she was being ignorant at first.
“Well, I produce plenty of hatred; if you want you can feed on all my pain and misery that I keep bottled up, and you can live there - as long as you don't try to take over my body.” I said with a shrug.
[Awww, but I wanna have fun killing ponies~] Shadow Chara said, a little of her ignorance showing.
Frisk remained silent.
“Well, I can't allow you to kill the ponies, cuz I really don't want sunbutt to lock away my Powers again; besides, we do plenty of killing. Don't you remember all those monsters I kill on a daily basis?” I asked back, causing nightmare Chara to think.
[If only they’d scream in misery rather than acceptance.] Shadow Chara said, puffing her cheeks out and pouting.
“They are Zelda monsters, what can you do? Besides, it's not like we are in the only universe in the Multiverse.” I said with sarcasm.
Suddenly, Shadow Chara’s smile went a bit too wide for my liking. She begins picking at her nails with her knife. “[Ya know… Link has been gone for a while… He could of been… summoned?]” She said with a giggle. “[Maybe we can have fun in that other universe. I mean, looking at your memories, there might be a certain wedding? Tell you know… I’ll give you your violence, but please allow some of it to be with me. I find it more delicious than your hatred.]”
“How about I give you every emotion I bottle away? I know it would be as big as Canterlot castle if it had any physical form.” I answered her back.
“[Hrrrm.. I guess it’ll have to do…] She said with a smirk, suddenly throwing her shadow knife at me.
[You obtained True Shadow Knife, your level returns to 40 and you got a new weapon!]
[This knife is not only made of your hatred, but also contains a piece of Nightmare Moon’s power to dreamwalk for three minutes.]
“I'm going to enjoy this far more than I should.” I said, grinning evilly - thinking of all the chaos I can sow with it.
Frisk let out a sigh, as she sounded like she was hoping that I’d pick the pacifist path, she also ran out of good memories to share. Slowly, she turns around, as if to walk away… only to suddenly run away crying.
“I should be feeling guilt right now.” I said, tilting my head.
[Nah, just the Sins crawling on your back.] Nightmare Chara commented as she was drinking from a can of soda labeled Chara’s guilt. [Sorry, those are gonna be with you for a long time, can’t do anything about it.]
“Hey as long as I don't have to deal with the comedian I don't give a shit.” I said with a shrug.
[You’ll just be dying a little bit quicker than usual.] Nightmare Chara said as she gave my forehead a poke. [Cause you know, slow damage per second or whatever you call those… game mechanics…] She suddenly chugged the rest of it down then dove into my head to hide when Celestia came back. [Don’t you dare tell this to Celestia, got it?!”] her voice echoed into my mind as she hid deep into my head, as if she was trying to escape Celestia’s senses as she quickly appeared close to me.
“Hey sunbutt! Have you seen a girl about my age? Only she got a purple and blue sweater? She's kind of my conscience that got ripped out by that bastard Discord.” I said as Celestia looked at me startled.
“Y-yes, she was mumbling something… Something about the end?” Celestia asked with a concerned tone.
“She may be afraid that I'm going to destroy her; and of course I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to destroy a part of me - even if they're the annoying part!” I stated with a sigh thinking ‘she's a piece of me, she should know better!’
Celestia went silent for a moment. “Well, you’re a trickster, but not as bad as Discord…”
“Yeah we need to find her before she does something stupid - like trying to summon Sans.” I said shuddering as I follow Celestia.
We headed to the throne room, in which we saw Frisk drawing a summoning circle, tears still fresh on her face.
“Frisk don't!” I yelled out right as she finished the circle and activated it.
She turned around and looked at me with fear in her eyes. Soon, from within the light’s shadow, came a rather familiar skele- oh fuck all kinds of ducks…
“Oh, god damn it. Celestia, you need to get out of here! That guy is a judge, and can make all of your sins become poison in your veins! Go, Equestria needs you. And besides… I'm expendable.” I said throwing Celestia out of the throne room with light blue Soul wires closing and locking the door behind her.
Celestia begins banging on the door in frustration.
“Well, well, well, hello again kiddo. Even in another universe, you’re still a…” The skeleton looks up and stares at me. “Dirty brother killer.”
“Shut the fuck up, Sans. I didn't kill your brother in this universe; hell, your brother doesn't even exist here! I only killed fucking flavors to get this power along with monsters that had no regard for others’ lives!”
Sans went silent, showing a wide eyed shocked expression, he looks over at Frisk, Frisk shakes her head. Sans looks back at me. “Since when were you able to speak… Or be so Colorful?” Sans asked.
“Because fuck you that's how.” I said with a smirk on my face.
Sans simply shrugged, unaffected by my insult. He then looked over at Frisk and ruffled up her hair. “Even so… If Frisk brought me here, it means your a threat.” Sans said, suddenly looking back at me with a single glowing blue eye.
“I'm only a threat to those that make me their enemy!” I said as I brought out my pocket knife and my new true Shadow knife. “I don't want to fight you! But, if I have to turn you to dust to get to my conscience over there… then so be it.” I said was resignation as I pointed at Frisk.
“Conscience? Kiddo, what is she trying to say?” Sans asked as he looked at Frisk. “Wait. Is this this whole multi timeline theory all over again?”
[Multiverse] Frisk corrected him.
“In this universe Frisk is my conscience that was ripped out of my head by an evil spirit of Chaos.” I said, loving how I'm messing with the comedians head.
Sans blinked a couple of times. “Sorry, Kiddo. I would believe you, but as long as I can see the sins, it doesn’t make this situation any better.” Sans said. Suddenly, I heard Nightmare Chara laugh in my mind.
“I have a way to get rid of my sins temporarily.” I said mentally telling Nightmare Chara to to take my level of violence until Sans leaves or I want it back.
At that moment, I felt my strength suddenly vanish when my double pulled it away. San’s blue eye blinked yellow for a second. “Huh… Neat trick.” Sans commented. He looked back at Frisk, she’s furiously shaking her head.
Now Sans is conflicted with two choices. Honestly, this is probably something new to him - to see genocide suddenly become pacifist before his eyes.
“Yeah, like I said this is only temporary. My level of violence will return eventually, plus I will never harm a piece of myself, if Frisk even thought rationally for a second, she would have realized that.” I said with a sigh, pissed that I even have to talk to the comedian.
[LIES!] Frisk screamed out. [I still remember the runs, you always killed because of your hatred, how can I even trust you?]
“Because I'm not really Chara. I'm just someone who's become Chara, you dumb little girl… or did my memories not tell you that!?” I screamed startling the comedian and making his eyes go wide.
[But… the deaths… I saw so much death in our mind.] Frisk said.
“... I’m starting to wish my Frisk was here. You two are just too confusing to figure out…” Sans commented.
“Sans, the best way to describe this is that for every possibility, there is a universe where it is fact. In fact - my universe sees yours as a game, and I was a fan of your game. I never actually played it but I was a fan. My two favorite characters were you and Chara, and I was turned into Chara before being thrown out of my universe and into another.” I said lecturing the skeleton with pure Glee on my face.
For a moment, his eye flashed, but faded away to normal eyes. “Truly? Or is this just the same mercy tactic. I mean not saying you’re like the original Chara, I’m just being cautious here.” Sans said, while Frisk hid behind him.
[But… What purpose do I serve in your mind… What am I to you?] Frisk asked.
“Well, Frisk… you're the annoying little pest that keeps me from going too far.” I said to her before turning to Sans “and besides… Sans, I can show you proof.” Pulling out my phone and showing him a playthrough done by jacksepticeye that was recorded in it.
Sans watched in silence as the video played, earning plenty of chuckles from the pun loving skeletons. “Alright, you’re off the hook… For now. But if Frisk brings me back because of you stepping out of line, I’ll just have to give you a really bad time.” San’s eye flashed with a glowing aura.
“Yeah that'd be pretty hard when she's back inside my head.” I said with a roll my eyes.
Sans shrugged. “Alright kiddo. I think I’m done here.”
“And Sans? Before you go, don't lose hope - I always related to you the most.” I said trying to give him reassurance
Sans stared at me for a moment, then slowly smiled. “Ya know? Despite that L.O.V.E of yours, you’re alright. Keep it under control, will ya?” Sans asked as Frisk placed her hands on the summoning circle.
“Yeah I know how dangerous L.O.V.E can be.” I said with a smile.
The summoning circle flashed and Sans was sent back to his world.
Celestia burst through the door, looking like a raging meteor… Oooooh, that must be the phoenix form she mentioned, she even had the flaming wings and tail of a phoenix…
“Oooooh, you look angry, yeah you're angry.” I said as she turns to glare at me.
“NEVER. EVER. LOCK ME OUT!” She shouts in the canterlot voice… She takes a deep breath and sighs, calming herself and the inferno down. “I know you can’t die, but my-name damn it, whoever that was might of knew a way around your power.” She said in a motherly tone of voice, suddenly scooping me up and hugging me. “All of my Equestrians are important to me.”
“You're right, he does know how to kill me. He is the most dangerous opponent any Chara has ever faced.” I said avoiding her gaze.
“I’ve already lost many, I don’t want any more ill memories of my children dying, even if you’re not of my own.” Celestia said as she hugged me with her forearms around my back.
“W-wha?” I said intelligibly completely shocked that she thought of me as her daughter.
“I told you before. Everypony who lives in my world will be my child, even Link.” Celestia explained…. Ya know, I’m glad I’m here with this version of Celestia instead of the slave-owner from my dead world.
‘What's going on? Why do I feel safe and warm?’ I thought as I was subconsciously leaning into her with tears in my eyes.
