Author's Notes:

Have a thing! And if your going to bother disliking it, leave a comment as to 'why'. Otherwise I shall ignore you completely.

Chara woke up and looked around. Her groggy mind caused her to not remember where she was for a minute, before it all came flooding back. “Oh right… Sombra…” She mumbled as she rubbed her eyes to get the stuff out of them. From the wall, two pipes came, one making a waterfall that fell into the other for Chara to wash her face in.

“Okay…” The little girl said, cupping some water and splashing her face, making her shiver a little and wake up. It’s task done, the pipes retracted. “You’re sentient…” She mumbled, looking at the castle.

The castle didn’t react to her statement at all. Crystal Mercy woke up then, yawning adorably as she did so. Chara felt a desire to protect her that she couldn’t explain. Oh well, one strange bond seemed to turn out well so far, she’d give this one a shot.

Raz came in then, smiling at the two. “Morning sweeties, what do you want for breakfast?” He asked.

“Chocolate pancakes!” Chara said eagerly. “Also, Daddy, did you know the castle’s sentient?”

Raz shrugged. “I could feel it,” He replied simply.

Crystal Mercy spoke then. “C-can I have b-banana pancakes?” She timidly asked. Raz smiled and picked the two up, walking to the kitchen. To his surprise, the food was already made when they got there, even his own which he hadn’t voice, regular pancakes and homefries.

Chara deadpanned. “Sentient. So sentient. #sentient!” Chara said. Crystal giggled, and Raz set them at their seats, sitting at his own.

“Thanks, Castle,” He commented as the three started eating. They ate in silence for a few minutes, before Chara spoke up.

“This castle is now Toriel.” Chara said, leaving no room for argument in her voice. Raz only snickered and allowed it. Crystal looked between the two, confused. Who was Toriel?

Raz, done with his food, sighed contently. “Well, I’m gonna go use a charge or two on upgrading the Crystal Heart, you two have fun.” He said as he got up, turning to leave.

“What are we supposed to do?!” Chara said.

“I’m sure the castle will give you some toys,” He said, and as if to prove him right, a couple fell from the ceiling… onto Charas lap, making her yelp in surprise. It was a bunch of dolls in her lap. Chara’s glare, if it was superpowered, could melt the entirety of the crystal north.

Crystal grabbed some off Chara, playing with them eagerly. Raz, snickering a bit, soon left the two. Chara left, deciding to wander. As she did, ponies bowed and waved to her, some greeting her with a ‘hello, princess Chara’. The brand new princess didn’t really know what to make of this, but decided to just smile and wave back.

Chara just mostly saw ponies working, or if she walked by a park, playing. She thought of how strange her life is getting to be so fast. As she reached a train station, she saw one coming into it. This didn’t look like a normal train, but instead something Royalty would have. Chara narrowed her eyes at it.

The little girl saw a certain pony princesses sun emblem on the front and scowled. “Why is she coming here?” She asked mentally, before putting an innocent look on her face. As soon as the train finished pulling in, the castle glew as a pulse went out. Seemed Daddy was done upgrading the heart.

The train doors soon opened, and six guards came out, two for each pony raise and one of each on either side of the door. From the doorway, a large mare appeared. Chara, making sure the ponies saw her tiara, smiled. “Hello! I’m Chara,what are you doing here?” She asked, an air of innocence around her as she tilted her head cutely.

Seeing the tiara, the large white mare smiled gently. “Hello little one. Can you please tell me who rules this land?” She asked gently.

“That would be my daddy, his name is Raz!” Chara said, making herself sound bubbly as she giggled. The ponies didn’t see anything off about her, despite looking closely. Charas acting was spot on.

Giving off a gentle air, the bigger princess smiled a little more. “May you take us to meet him?” She gently asked. Chara nodded her head eagerly, staring to skip away. In her mind she was thinking about the differences in this timeline.

Ponies they met on the way had whispers and glances at Celestia, not trusting her at all, since she got them imprisoned with Sombra for a thousand years, even if it was the mad king himself casting the spell, he wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for her. When they saw Chara however, their gazes turned protective.

Soon, they got to the castle. Chara led them inside and to the throne room, where Raz was lounging in his throne. There was a smaller one next to it, which Chara skipped to, taking her seat by her daddy’s side. “Well, this is… interesting. Who may you be?” Raz asked calmly, playing the part of a ignorant ruler to the outside world.

“I am Princess Celestia of Equestria,” The princess said. “I have come to negotiate with you.” Being bored, Chara took her phone out, it having been in her pocket and started to play games on it. Her daddy upgraded it for her yesterday most likely when they were asleep. Celestia looked at the strange device with wide eyes. “What is that?”

Raz chuckled. “Something I’ve been tinkering with. It will provide instant long range communication and also give you something to do whenever you're bored.” Raz informed them.

Celestia shook her head a little. “Anyway, we should get back on topic. Guards, if you may leave us for a moment?” Celestia asked. The six nodded, and they soon left to take positions out at the door.

Taking a breath, the mare looked at the two. “I had plans for my student here. I had hoped that she would defeat Sombra and learn a valuable lesson, but it seems you got here first.”

Chara glared at the pony princess. “You realise they’re living people and not pawns for your tests, right?” The little girl asked.

“Yes, I had just hoped to take care of two problems at once. Teaching my student a lesson and freeing the people here.” Celestia calmly explained.

Snarling, Chara continued. “And what if she didn’t pass?” She asked.

Celestia's face didn’t waver. “She would have succeeded. She would have had her friends with her, and that is all that she required.” The mare said.

Chara laughed. “You're as bad as an old wizard I know of! Sending children to fight your battles!”

“I’ll have you know my student and her friends are adults.” Celestia replied with a bit of a glare.

“ENOUGH!” Raz shouted, slamming his now glowing hand on his throne, shaking the room. “Chara, she is our guest. Stop trying to start a war. Celestia, you should not have so much faith in an untrained civilian.”

“Yes daddy…” Chara mumbled, going back to her phone.

Celestia breathed a little, calming herself. “I was going to ask if you may… simulate the experience for her. In return, I will send needed crops and medical supplies that my nation has a surplus of,” The white mare offered.

Raz hummed to himself in thought. It was true that the land here wasn’t really the best for growing crops, and while he could make something to fit it… he figured it’d be better to turn his attention elsewhere. “I will need to see what exactly my nation will be getting before agreeing to anything.” Raz said neutrally.

Before the talking could continue, a roar was heard from outside. “Oh. come on!” Chara said as she put her phone away.

Off in the city…

A short figure with a blue hood approached the city, nopony paying attention to it. It walked towards the castle until it heard the roar. It then looked at towards the direction the sound came from. “well, looks like things are about to get interesting…” it said, voice sounding male, walking to the source of the roar.

What he saw were a veritable army of dragons of many shapes and sizes, some only as big as a person and others as big as buildings. The smaller ones seemed to be charging the city while the larger flew around the castle.

The figure sighed. “well then, let's see if all that practice paid off…” The figure heard a mare screaming from nearby. He then walked towards the scream. He turned to an alley, and saw a red Drake attacking some mare.

The dragon shot a fireball at the mare. Before it hit, several bones shot from the ground in front of the mare, shielding her from the the blast. While the two were surprised, the dragon heard laughing behind him. When he turned around, he saw the hooded figure behind him.

The dragon glared at him. “What's so funny, little pony?” It asked the figure.

The figure chuckled again. “not a pony, big guy.” The figure then took off its hood, revealing his face to be a skull with a large grin and white pupils in its socket. “now, i’ll only say this once so listen closely. go away and never come back, or you're gonna have a bad time.”

The dragon laughed loudly. “Oh really? And how are you going to do that?” The dragon then spread his wings and hovered above the ground. “I'll roast you alive.”

“Well, don't say i didn't warn ya.” The skeleton sighed. “you know, it's a beautiful day out. birds are singing, flowers are blooming. on days like these, people like you…” The skeleton blinked and his sockets were suddenly blank, dark holes, and he said in an angry and intimidating voice, “should be burning in hell.”

Before the dragon can truly react, an orange object in the shape of a heart appeared on his chest. The skeleton took his left hand out of his pocket and motioned it at the heart, his left socket suddenly having an eye that was glowing cyan and yellow. The heart turned blue and the skeleton immediately shoved his hand downward. The heart followed, and the dragon’s body followed the heart, causing the dragon to slam into the ground. The skeleton then snapped his fingers and a bunch of bones popped out of the ground under the dragon, impaling him. The heart then broke in half, and disappeared, the dragon dying as a result.

The skeleton then put his hand back in his pocket, his pupils back and white again. “get dunked on, you overgrown gecko.” He then turn to the mare, who had a look of fear in her eyes. “don't worry, i ain't gonna hurt ya. but you need to go somewhere safe.” The skeleton then turned around and walked away, as if it didn't just beat a dragon in just a few seconds.

Things weren’t looking good for Chara. She’d died almost to her last ‘life’ for the day, and was visibly exhausted. Even as she clung to one of the bigger dragons trying to shake her off, it was more out of desperation than anything. Especially with how Chara crippled a few nearby with the last bits of energy she could muster.

The reason the dragon was so desperate was because the fact that Chara was using its spine as a handle, having carved some flesh out with her diamond knife. She couldn’t speak, on account of putting all of her energy just to holding on to the spine.

Knowing she was going to lose her grip soon, Chara hacked the top half off the spine she was holding, causing the dragon to crash outside of the Crystal Empire. At that point, Raz showed up. And he looked mad.

Chara noticed that some of her bones felt broken, but tried to smile at her daddy. “H-hey,” She said weakly. Turning to her, he picked her up gently and froze time around them, letting him quickly go back to the castle and put her in bed to rest and heal, before going back to the battlefield, ignoring her insistence of her capabilities to still fight as they cut off.

Now back at the battle, Raz resumed time. He had about… eighteen charges left, after upgrading the Heart and all. He used them all on one thing. He gave himself Ki. Not just any, it only took one to give himself the rather strong ability. And with each charge, the Ki, and his control over it grew by a factor of two. That may seem like not much, but consider this. He started with roughly… 800 Ki from his modifications with Shaper. X2 would be 1600, x2 again would be 3200, and so on. Until he got to 52428800.

Stronger than a certain she-boy tyrant, Raz trembled with rage, a spiraling rainbow aura that constantly shifted around him, likely because of the kaleidoscope he had and because of power manipulations own influence. Raising a hand to them, he charged a ball of Ki.

“Die.” He growled, before a giant beam of pure white shot from his hand. The dragons were erased. There wasn’t a molecule left.

“What the buck?!” Celestia, who had appeared nearby shortly before the blast, shouted as she looked at the devastation with wide eyes. There wasn’t even snow left in the beams wake. There was a single dragon that escaped most of the damage, but had an arm and a wing left… and not much else.

Raz floated over to the crawling dragon, another orb of energy forming above his palm. “P-please, p-please don’t kill me! I w-was just following orders!”

The floating father frowned. “Whose orders?” He snarled.

“T-the Dragon lord!” the dragon said. Not needing the hunk of uselessness anymore, Raz pointed at the dragon, the orb of energy at the tip of his finger.

Celestia ran over. “Y-you don’t need t-to kill him!” She said hurriedly, shivering at the pure power he was putting off.

“And let him come back somehow stronger to hurt my family?” Raz asked coldly. “I don’t think so.” To circumvent Celestia's block, a giant portal opened above the dragon, a huge greatsword lopping the drakes head off. “No One harms my family and lives.”

And with that, the dragon was evaporated. Turning away, Raz started to hover back. “If you want to do that deal still, I will oblige. For now. No changes to it,” He said as he started to hover back to the castle, leaving the stupefied Celestia where she was.

Raz floated into his castle, down the halls and back to Chara. Immediately, he did two things. One was take all the powers except save and load from her, and two was heal her body. Chara looked at him in surprise. “W-what, why?!”

“Because you went out there when I told you not to,” Raz said simply. “I need to punish you some way to make you learn. Taking your offensive powers should do nicely.”

Chara looked down, sniffling. “I-i was o-only trying to help…” She said. Raz walked forwards, getting on a knee and putting his hand on her chin, bringing her head up so he was looking her in the eye.

“I understand that, but I nearly lost you sweetie. You can’t just go and do this, I won’t always be there to save you before you run out of LOADs.” Raz said seriously. Chara hugged him, crying a little. Both at the seriousness of the situation and how stupid she was.

“well, this is unexpected,” they heard an unfamiliar voice say.

Chara spotted him first, and was completely terrified, shaking as she clutched onto Raz tighter. Holding her to his chest, Raz looked back at the skeleton with a raised eyebrow.

The skeleton winked with his left eye. “hey.”

“Hello,” Raz said as he held Chara protectively. “What do you want, skele-ton of trouble?”

The skeleton shrugged. “nah. just noticed the massive blast from around here and decided to check it out. imagine my surprise to see two humans after so long.”

“That all?” Raz asked skeptically.

“buddy, you have no idea how good it is seeing humans again. especially since i've been dealing with nothing but snow and yetis the last few months.”

“That musta been boring,” Raz commented.

The skeleton sighed. “you have no idea. so, what's your names? i doubt the kid in your arms is the real demon my...lookalike deals with.”

“I’m Raz. Chara goes by Chara,” The father replied, still wary of the displaced skeleton.

“huh. nice to meetcha. name’s toby. or...it was. you can no doubt tell who i am now.” He looked around. “nice place, by the way.”

Chara calmed down a bit, knowing this wasn’t the real Sans. She wouldn’t get blasted then. She just noticed the tears in her eyes, right before Raz wiped them away.

“whoa, why the tears, kid?” Toby asked.

“She was scared you’d kill her.” Raz replied bluntly. “Now, if you don’t need anything, I have an Empire to run, so…”

Toby shrugged. “sure. just came to see what was going on. oh, by the way, i kinda left a few bodies around the place. those dragons aren't the brightest.”

Raz frowned a little. “Well, just get them out of here. I don’t want the populace to see the dead bodies. It’s partially why I went with vaporizing the army that was outside,” Raz told the skeleton even as he rubbed Charas back.

“can't. without their souls, i can't move them. and this body isn't really strong.”

“You have bones, don’t you? Launch them out of the city, I don’t care,” Raz said simply as the waved it off. Chara giggled at the thought of Dragons being launched off via bone catapults.

“i'll try that on my way out.” Toby then turned around and walked away. When he reached the end of the room, he stopped. “oh, and one more thing. expect to see me once in awhile. but if you ever need me, just give me a call.” He then winked with his left eye.

“Actually, would you mind keeping an ear out for anything you think may… require our attention?” Raz asked the skeleton.

“sure. i literally have nothing better to do. well, see ya around.” Toby then winked and suddenly disappeared.

“Hey Daddy… did you just say you vaporized them?” Chara asked. Crap.
