Chapter Text
Flowey looked down at the flowers. He had said he would take care of them but in the end it didn't matter. None of it would. No matter how much he begged, It would reset eventually. It always reset. Flowey let out a sigh.
"what eating your leaves bud?"
Flowey whipped around. He recognized that voice. "What are you doing here smiley trashbag?"
Sans raised his hands. "not here to fight you weed, i'm just here to ask for your help."
Flowey glared at him. "Why should I help you? What could be so important, you'd come ask me?"
Sans' eyes darkened. "the possibility of ending the resets."
Flowey's glare turned to shock. He turned and side eyed the skeleton. "What makes you think I can help you with that?"
Sans' eyes returned to normal. "you were the one who had the power first. who knows, you might hold the key to putting a permanent end to the loops."
Flowey was surprised. He'd never thought finding a way to stop the loops. He looks at the skeleton suspiciously. "Why ask me?"
Sans shrugged. "Why not?"
Before Flowey could respond, a voice echoed from around the corner. "Well now, what do we have here?"
Flowey and Sans turned towards the gate into the ruins. A familiar form stepped out from around the corner. But their voice didn't match the form.
As the figure walked towards the two, they said "You should be careful with that logic. It's a slippery slope."
The figure stepped into the light. They had Frisk's body but clearly weren't them. Their eyes were bright red.
"Chara?" Flowey asked nervously.
Sans' eyes darken. His left eye suddenly flares blue. Chara is thrown into the wall but barely reacts. "where's the kid," Sans demands.
Chara looks at the skeleton. "Relax comedian, they're asleep. Lucky for us."
Sans looks at them doubtingly. "what do you mean 'lucky for us.'"
Chara looks at him, perplexed. "You really haven't figured it out yet? Frisk is just a puppet. Ask your new friend over there. He's met the puppet master."
Sans glances at Flowey who is in utter shock. "they telling the truth?"
Flowey looks at him and hesitates. "Y-yes. At least I think so?"
Sans glares at Chara for a moment then drops them. They stand and brush themselves off. "why'd you come here?"
Chara looks at the skeleton. "I followed you." At his surprised expression, Chara sticks out their tongue and says "You aren't nearly as subtle as you like to think you are comedian. Besides," Chara looks at the pair. "You aren't the only ones who want to end the loops."
Flowey and Sans look at Chara in surprise. "what about the kiddo?" Sans asks.
Chara shrugs. "They want it to end to. At least, what's left of them."
Sans' eyes go dark. "what's that suppose to mean?"
Chara puts their face in their palms. "God, for someone so smart, you can be so stupid sometimes. They've been killed thousands of times, had their SOUL traded away to a demon, forced to kill their friends... am I missing any? Frisk is tired. They are broken." Chara smiled. "But then again, aren't we all? Isn't that why you came to him? We all have the same goal here." Chara glared at nothing in particular. "To get rid of that thing once and for all."
Chara's gaze returned to normal. "So, I have a proposal."
Sans looked suspicious. "oh yeah?"
Flowey glared. "What is it?"
Chara clapped their hands together. "A truce."
Flowey and Sans clearly weren't expecting this. They both reeled at the suggestion. Chara continues. "I know we all have reasons not to trust each other but we're all tired. We all want the loops to stop. Only way we'll manage is if we work together. So..." Chara extends a hand in peace. "Truce?"
Flowey hesitated but then extended a vine. "Fine. But this is just until that thing is gone."
Sans smiled but it was clear he didn't like this. "fine. truce." He extends a hand to shake Chara's hand and Flowey's vine.
A loud exaggerated farting noise echoes throughout the ruins. Flowey and Chara glare at the skeleton. "I suddenly remember why I hate you," Chara says.
"I'm regretting this already," Flowey mutters.
Chara sighs and looks at them both. "Here's my idea. The only way I can help is if It does a genocide run. At 20 LV, I can overpower it, but it would cost both of you you're lives. Instead, we have to do this at 19 LV, meaning I won't be as powerful. I will prevent them from hitting RESET for as long as possible. So the plan is..."
...
...
...
Sans rubs his chin. "that could work. assuming we don't all die or rupture all of reality in the process."
Flowey grins. "I like those odds!"
Chara nods. "It's about to reset. Stick to the plan. We only get one shot at this." Chara gives them both a serious look. "Good luck."
