Chapter Text
It was time, they had made friends with every monster, and learned every monster's story, made friends, found family. It was time. All that was left was to break the barrier and lead their new friends to the surface.
Asriel need more power. It wasn’t working, he couldn’t break the barrier, “I can’t do it, Frisk I need more power...”
Frisk offered Asriel their soul, “Will this be enough?” they signed.
“It would but using your power would kill you! You wouldn’t be able to reset!”
Frisk offered their soul and their life, to free their friends and family, “it's worth the cost, please free them!”
Asriel sobbed as he accepted Frisk’s soul and was finally able to break the barrier. He turned to Frisk, “You’ll have a few minutes to say goodbye to them.”
“Thank you Asriel for everything and good-bye”
Frisk soon woke up surrounded by her new friends and family. They burst into tears, “ Sans this is the last reset. I gave up the power to break the barrier.”
Sans stared at Frisk in shock “Kiddo thats great, but what will that do to you?”
“It will kill me.”
There was a horrified gasp from everyone when they saw what Frisk had signed.
“Sorry there was no other way to break the barrier. I love you all. Goodbye.” With that signed Frisk collapsed, letting go and giving in to blackness, surrounded by their family.
---------
Sans was nervous he knew this was risky and might not work, but Frisk was dying and everyone knew it. Papyrus couldn’t keep a smile on his face, Undyne and Alphys were crying, Toriel was at risk of falling and Asgore was trying not to break. Everyone knew the child who had saved them was dying after they broke the barrier and freed them.
Sans felt their soul fading as he held them and knew it was no or never, He grabbed Frisk and teleported much to everyone else’s shock and fury. He was in his secret lab now he called to Frisk’s soul and saw it fading and knew he only had minutes to attempt to help Frisk. He got to work he enveloped frisk soul in his magic and started to attempt to change it at the same time he cut his arm and used some of the magic blood and determination to create a shot for Frisks soul. There was a blinding flash of light as Frisk’s Soul shifted flashing red blue red blue before slowly calming to a light purple with spots of blue and red.
Sans let out a breath he had been holding, as Frisks soul stabilized. Frisk still had a long road to travel before they were well but they now had a chance. He was to tired to be surprised that Frisk now had the soul of a monster. Sans teleported up to his room with Frisk before collapsing on to the bed still holding the child thought of as his own to him as he fell asleep
-----
No one could believe That Sans had just grabbed the human and vanished. Papyrus was furious right alongside everyone else he was also miserable the human was gone and were likely dead. They had fallen down shortly after they broke the barrier because of this no one had left yet. Papyrus was worried that Asgore’s clone would soon join Frisk and fall down it was hard to watch as she grieved for his small human friend. Papyrus felt the need to say “I’m Sorry For My Brothers Actions I Don’t Know Why He Would Steal The Human Away From Us” as he approached Toriel and folded her into a hug.
Toriel wept for the small human child who had called her mom. She couldn’t understand why her friend had taken the child away. The worst part was she didn't know if child was dead yet or not and she was losing a battle against losing hope. She saw the friends her child had made and realized that the child had truly only left her to explore and make more friends. She saw Asgore and found something to help her hold on to her hope that the child’s life was not lost for no reason. She felt her resolve harden and said “Asgore the people need their ruler to lead them can I help you with that?” She knew it was only a distraction but it was all she had.
-------
Sans woke up when Frisk started to shake him. He didn’t know how long they had slept but he woke up quickly and started to look Frisk over they were pale very pale but otherwise seemed ok “What’s up kiddo?”
”How am I alive?” They signed
“That a bit complicated but I tried to save you by turning you into a monster I don’t know how well it worked”
“Oh can we go see the others?”
Sans checked his magic then nodded “Yeah I can get us there you ready?”
Frisk shook their head and signed “ let's go anyways”
--------
Several hours had passed since his judge had vanished with the human who was surely dead by now he wondered why his judge had left like that. Right now though he was busy trying to keep the woman he loved from falling he knew that she was trying to keep hope that the child had not died in vain. He watched as his guard captain comforted his Royal scientist “Undyne, Alphys how are you holding up?”
“Poorly” was Undynes muttered reply she hugged Alphys again unsure if she was giving or receiving comfort from her girl. Frisk had been the one to open their eyes and show them their feelings were mutual. Undyne was going to miss that punk!
-------
Sans teleported himself and Frisk back to the throne room near all of their friends. He was light headed now but they were back now.
Papyrus saw his brother in the throne room and shouted “THERE YOU ARE BROTHER, WHY DID YOU TAKE THE HUMAN AND DISAPPEAR?”
“Heh I had to try something Pap I’m not sure how well it worked though.” Everyone was now staring at Sans in disbelief and anger now and Sans felt guilt crawling up his back.
“WHERE’S THE HUMAN?”
“They’re right here” as he pulled Frisk out of the shadows.
Frisk was scared they had almost died and these people knew that she didn’t know how they would react to seeing her again. It was soon shown that fear had been pointless as her friends and family rushed forward and pulled her into a hug. Frisk burst into tears and signed, “ I’m sorry, I made you so sad. I love you guys please don’t be mad at me, I’m sorry.”
No one knew how to respond to that Frisk was shaking as they sobbed convinced that they all would hate them.
Sans swept Frisk up into his arms “Babybones we are not mad, we love you and nothing you have done make us stop loving you.” Frisks only response was to curl up in Sans arm as they sobbed.
