Link with us, Judge, and do what you must. Another voice said as the six human souls appeared in front of him. Sans reached out to them. They disappeared and Sans felt shear agony envelop him. Then it was gone. He could feel their power coursing through him but he couldn’t see any difference in himself. He brushed it off, checked his illusion magic, which was still in place, and let time resume. A bone wall blocked Chara’s attack and a blaster hit the RESET button, shattering it. A shard fell on Temmie, it turned into a monster soul and phased into her body. Another shard hit Chara and the figure in blue appeared behind her shrieked and dissolved into nothingness. Chara’s red eyes became soft and she cried, finding themselves in the clearing they were in before. Sans teleported to her side and embraced her. He laid a hand on Papyrus’s chest and let his magic heal the wound. Being part angel already made him proficient in healing magic but having the six souls, specifically Kindness, made him even better at it. Papyrus was almost instantly healed and Sans healed the sobbing human in his arms, healing her injury.

“Hey Temmie, you have a soul now.” Temmie bounced around him.

“I know! I’m so happy!” Temmie leapt onto Sans, knocking him down off Chara. Chara stopped crying and giggled a bit.

“Someone seems excited.” Sans laughed.

“Thanks for destroying the reset button, Mom!” There were noises of surprise.

“Temmie has taken to calling me, Mom.” Sans explained briefly.

“It’s only because you are so motherly.” Temmie retorted, Sans laughed, and Chara giggled.

“Welp!” Sans said as he stood up. “We need to get going, don’t die. We will protect you after you get out of the Ruins.” Sans smiled at the human child, she appeared to be only 10 years old. Chara nodded and they heard Asgore’s thumping steps.

“We better get going.” Sans nodded and grabbed Papyrus’s arm.

“Thank you.” Sans smiled.

“Anytime, kiddo.” They suddenly found themselves outside the ruins.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From there, the Pacifist route went as normal, minus Temmie stealing the human souls and Chara fighting Toriel. Toriel had pulled up the soul containers only to find them empty. Her surprise gave time for Sans and Papyrus to run in, panting heavily, in Sans's case.

“Where are the souls?” Toriel asked.

“They are gone, the barrier is weak.” Sans stepped forward, after catching his breath, and touched the barrier. It shattered. In truth, the barrier wasn’t weak. Sans just used the power of the six souls plus his own. As Judge, his magic reserves were massive. The others came in and gasped as they saw the non-existent barrier. They stepped outside.

“I don’t know how the barrier broke.” Undyne pushed up her glasses. “But I think Chara is the reason we are free.”

“Chara, would you like to be Monster Ambassador?” Toriel inquired, looking at the small child. Chara nodded enthusiastically.

“Mr. Asgore.” Asgore turned towards the small child. “Will you forgive Mrs. Toriel? She was only doing what she needed to.”

“Every child I faced. They looked at the barrier and asked me to take their lives. They said that they wanted to die.” Toriel looked once again at the view.

“I know Toriel. When I found them, they seemed so disappointed. I never knew why. Now I know that they wanted to die. Toriel, I...I forgive you.” Tears slipped down Toriel’s face as she looked at him.

“Thank you.” She smiled and Asgore embraced her, she hugged him back, crying.
