When Arminius notices that Toriel looks a little bit older, he cuts off the flow, and damn quickly too.

 

Boss Monster Essence obtained.

 

Flowey sneers.  "What, are you going to shove a chunk of that old hag in me now?  Should I turn my head and cough?" he shouts under his blindfold.

"Nobody is too old to be disciplined, you little..." Toriel exclaims, only for the child to interrupt them with a spider donut.

 

Toriel looks back to normal after eating.

Toriel looks confused.

 

"What on earth are you doing?"

 

Then, Arminius manages to grab ahold of the invisible specter.

 

His tattoos flare with light as the Boss Monster Essence merges with the remnants, until...

 

Toriel's eyes widen with shock, and she puts her hands to her mouth, dropping Dolly onto the ground.

The dogs all freeze at this, and Flowey does too.

 

The entire area becomes dead silent as everyone stares on at the person in front of them.

They say to The Child, before turning to Flowey, who has ripped off the bandages from their face.

They kneel down in front of Flowey, who is shaking like a leaf.

 

Toriel can't move a muscle, the shock is too great, too vast, even as Chara walks right past her to the doll on the ground.

They reach out a single hand towards them...

Toriel gasps as Flowey's face morphs, shifting into its true form as something burns inside his core.

At this point, the child approaches too, and, somehow, familiarity finally occurs in Flowey.  Somehow, they feel like they've met the child so many times before.

The gang notice Sans hanging out nearby.  In fact, they notice him hanging out pretty much the exact moment that Chara begins leaking some kind of powerful, unknown magic.

Arminius starts stepping back as Chara starts leaking. Looking around for someone, anyone that might know what, if anything, he got wrong... Deciding the skeleton that suddenly appeared would likely know something just off the timing, Arminius turns to him, starting to approach. "Hey, what's happening to him? Did I fuck up?"

"I... don't like the looks of this," Rachel's hands creep towards her pistols as she cautiously steps back next to Arminius and Sans, "I recognize that the magics here aren't inherently evil, or as inherently dangerous as those I am most familiar with.  But...  That Flowey creature is of a very dangerous mindset.  I would prefer not to need to undo your work of returning Chara to physical form, as I assume you had a good reason for wanting to do so."

Arminius waves off Rachel's concern despite his own. "Oh, unless they've been hiding their personality the entire time they thought it was just them and the kid listening they're fine.... I think I might have messed up though because they shouldn't be... leaking."

Even as Chara speaks, the maelstrom of power surrounding them increases in intensity, purple light surging out of them.

Flowey is crying?

Chara turns to Frisk.

Chara's voice changes, and one might mistakenly attribute the color red to it, if they were prompted.

 

Frisk's SOUL emerges, and a vivid Golden Star appears in front of them.

Flowey's face changes even more.

They swallow heavily, and their face is twisted with... With emotion.

Willpower and Destiny come together, and then...

Everything goes white.

Ultimately, even if they told Arminius...  Nobody would remember, if they decide to Load.

 

The ghost says something quietly, something meant for the child.

 

8crR6SA.png

 

Rachel could have sworn that seconds ago, Flowey was shrieking his head off in Toriel's Grip.

Arminius realizes that the "Ghost" isn't a ghost at all, but a small goat child.  In fact, so is Dolly.

The three humans quickly realize what had happened, as the memories come flooding back.

They had gone back in time, but...

With two goat children instead of a whining doll and a ghost?

When Toriel sees what is right in front of her, she doesn't care about the impossibilities, or the strangeness.

She bawls as she embraces the children, while the dogs stare on in confusion.  The children are crying too.

Frisk stoically allows a single tear to drop, as is mandatory for such an event.

The ghost smiles, and shakes their head.

 

"The snails can only tell if they won by whether or not I gave you money.  It's ok."

 

"Well, I'm going back to my house...  It's over there, in case you want to come too..."

 

"Or... In case you don't........"

"Ah, well if it makes the snails happy..." Jun trailed off as she pocketed her windfall income, and cast her gaze at the friendly ghost's house. A brief moment passed as she wondered if she should continue searching for the others instead, after all they could be doing something important...

 

She let out a slight 'eh' and shrugged her shoulders, Lucine was likely in safe if rambling hands with Proditor, Ignia and Nader back in the hotlands, and it's not like she knew where the other kid was at this point. 

 

And so, Jun stretched a little in place, and said, "Well I wouldn't want to be a bother, but if you're inviting me..." before she walked off towards Napstablook's house to uh, get to know the locals better.

Arminius, after patting himself down and assuring himself that he was in fact not a ghost now, walked closer to the rest of the group. He looks rather quietly pleased with this turn of events, as if he would rather be in the place of one of the crying goats but is happy this came to pass nonetheless. "Ah, well, Chara has been following the kid around this entire time, Apparently they're one of Toriel's children but had died... So I borrowed some of Toriel's essence so that I could funnel it into their soul and they could make their own body.... After that I have no real idea I'm gonna be honest. That was all them."

Eventually, the teary reunion comes to a close, and Frisk turns to the dogs.

The dogs, thoroughly pacified, are more than willing to escort you there.
 
-Waterfall
 
Inside the Ghost's house, there is a refrigerator, several music disks laying on the ground, a television, and a computer.  Napstablook floats awkwardly by.

Refrigerator, Music, TV or Computer?
 
-True Lab
 
Alphys frowns.  "Undyne had to... Drop in with me."
 
"We'll have to turn the power back on to fix the elevator.  You should go on without us, if you want to get there quickly."

Ignia nods slowly.

"Fortify a Heart with something is holds dear, let it rebuild its own body and restore itself....Yeah that checks out.  We should keep an eye out in case she had a Nobody and it gets jealous."

She follows the others.

Jun gingerly walks inside of the ghost's house, taking a brief moment to take in the decor, before she takes some very careful steps to avoid stepping on any of the disks strewn about the floor. "Nice place you got here," she said to try and start a conversation, while her eyes glanced over the disks to find something interesting to play.

Proditor

 

"Very well" Proditor replied simply as he floated over to Lucine, one of his bony hands reaching out and placing itself on her shoulder.  For a brief moment, nothing happened to the two aside from Proditor's helmet opening to let out rays of light. Then, as if suffering from a glitch, both the alien and homunculi flickered out of sight as Proditor began teleporting the two upwards. However, due to the distance the two needed to take, Proditor resorted to making several "small" jumps through the empty elevator shaft, leaving both him and his passenger floating in the air for a split second before teleporting once more.

"Okay. We'll do our best." The effect was somewhat spoiled when Lucine let out a small squeak as the two began to flicker upward. She managed to push herself back to simply squeezing her eyes shut for the succeeding motions, if they could even really be called that. This elevator shaft was rapidly becoming her least favorite place in the mountain, however; that much was certain. She would remain in a mostly-frozen posture until she knew that they were done with the rapid, stuttering teleports and ready to move normally.

-Hotland

 

Lucine and Prodditor discover that the elevator leading straight to New Home has been damaged somehow, and the door on it has been reduced to steaming metal, forcing them to take an alternate path that eventually leads them to a gigantic combination Hotel and Restaurant.  Just through those doors, New Home sits.

Lucine notices that, however she was healed, she's running incredibly low on mana, and wasn't the food here made of magic?

Proditor

 

Thankfully for Lucine, Proditor's method of travel didn't take more than a few teleports before they settled back into the lab, the ancient alien releasing his hold on the young girl and giving her a few moments to reorient herself before pressing onwards, initially back to the elevator they used to arrive at the Hotlands before being forced to change his path, seeing as the elevator was damage and it would be far too risky to try and teleport through whatever turned it into nothing more than hot metal. The journey was otherwise uninteresting, mostly because Proditor barely stopped to take in the surroundings. Even when the two made it to the Underground's very own Hotel, the alien just continued floating forward, barely paying any mind to the monsters gathered in the building or any of the sights as he moved through, content with simply going to Asgore if nothing stopped him.

Despite Lucine's determination to reach Asgore and save Nader, if such a thing was even possible at this point, she found herself feeling lethargic. It was a feeling she'd come to be worryingly familiar with on this trip thus far: mana depletion. It seemed that whatever magic had been used to heal her had not been entirely sourced externally. That, or she'd simply hemorrhaged it out in her blood. The girl idly poked at the still-missing patch in her hoodie, still damp and darkened with her own blood. Despite the urgency of their mission and her almost certainly alarming appearance, Lucine slowed in front of the hotel. "Um, Proditor? I'm sorry, but I'm, uh, really hungry. . ." The little mage was visibly unsteady on her feet as she spoke.

Jun begins playing one of the songs.

 

"dang, that ambience... It's like my whole body is being spooked..." Napstablook says, adjusting their headphones.

 

TV
More Music
Computer
Refridgerator

 

"Oh, is it bothering you? Because I could try playing something else," Jun asked, while glancing at some of the other disks lying on the floor to try and find something else to play if they'd prefer less....spooky music playing in the background. She briefly thought about borrowing their computer to try and find out more about the underworld, but really, it'd be less creepy to just ask the actual ghost that owned it, and besides, after walking, running, and standing around for so long, she really cared more about finding readily available seating more than anything else right now...

Napstablook attempts a small smile, and goes over to the fridge to get some food while Jun puts on a different song.

 

Spoiler

 

 

"Ohh... That song...  Once you learn the lyrics, you can't help but sing along."

 

"Oooooo OOooooo Oooo Oooooo Oooooo..."

 

After they finish their sandwich, they seem to notice Jun looking for somewhere to sit.

 

"You know... After a big meal, I like to lay on the ground and feel like garbage.  It's a family tradition."

 

"...Would you like to join me?"
