A few days later, Asriel had successfully managed to sneak away with as many buttercups as he could from their Dads garden. Asriel helped in secretly grinding the little flowers, mincing them into near-dust and, when Tori or Asgore weren't looking, sprinkling them in Chara's food and drink and always ensuring he'd be the one filling Charas plate to sneak in the ground flowers when he got the chance.

At the table, Chara did his best to hide the uncomfortable feeling from their parents. As he didn't want them to suspect anything and ruin the plan.

About 2 weeks passed of this, and eventually it got to the point where Chara would have to be bedridden. Monsters came and went to check on their human prince, but thanks to Asriel's careful grinding, they never could detect the toxins in Charas body. And everyday, Asriel continued to mix the flowers that he helped feed to Chara.

One month since the announcement of the plan.

"I...I don't think I like this idea anymore, Char." Asriel said one day, when their parents weren't home. Toriel was busy getting groceries from Gersons, while Asgore was out in the garden planting and watering as always. Asriel was by Charas bed, kneeling, both hands gently holding Charas own who was pretty much at this point at Deaths' door.

"I...th-thought..you said….you w-wouldn't doubt me…" Chara replied to them, weakly. Doing his best to look slightly angry at Asriel. They'd come so close. Maybe, just one more day and Asriel could absorb his SOUL and continue with the plan.

"Wh-What? No..I'm n-not doubting you! I-I just…" Asriel hesitated biting his lip. 'I just don't like seeing you suffering…' Asriel thought but he didn't say aloud. He sniffled fighting back tears, as he could only imagine the amount of pain Chara was currently putting themselves through to ensure the monster's freedom.

Chara seemed to mouth something, calling Asriel a crybaby. Their trademark nickname for Asriel cuz of how sensitive he was. It was meant in a teasing, affectionate sorta way, like how Sans would tease Papyrus with his puns.

"I-I'm not crying! ….B-Big kids don't cry." Asriel argued, hating the nickname as he rubbed his face on his sleeve, the other still holding on tight to Charas' hand.

"Yo...u're...going to..be a..g-great king...so-someday.." Chara told him, trying to comfort their brother, though he could barely speak as everything hurt so much.

"Yeah...I wi-will be.." Asriel whispered, still holding Chara's hand, trying to will the warmth back into their skin through his paws.

"A..And..d..you'll..b-be strong...f-for me…"

Asriel started to sniffle more, nodding fervently, "Yeah, we'll be super st-strong…!" Asriel started to sob, hating this so much. Hating seeing their brother in so much pain. Hating they were given such an impossible choice, and that Chara had made that choice for them all. Hating they were trapped behind a Barrier and that everyone was so sad all the time and suffering and-

"W-We'll free everyone t-together…! I know.." Asriel sobbed more, hiccupping between words. Not wanting to let go yet. He still had so much he wanted to do with Chara. So much more he wanted to say to them…

'Don't leave me…'

"O...one..m-more...day.." Chara whispered, knowing their end was soon.

"...I'll get more of the flowers…"

The next day.

"Chara...Can you still hear me…? We need you to wake up." Toriel's voice called out.

"Chara! You have to stay Determined! Please my son...You are the Future of Humans and Monsters...Please, wake up…" Asgore's voice called this time.

"..." Asriel stayed silent through this and just cried, clutching Chara's hand in his own.

Asriel waited for quite some time for the doctors and everyone to leave the room. Waiting until they were just out of earshot before he bent down over Charas ear. "Psst...Chara..? Please...wake up...I REALLY don't like this plan anymore. Or at all…Please…"

Chara opened their mouth, but nothing came out. Asriel had to lean over them and strain his ears practically to even make out what they were saying at this point.

"...I thought...you said...you'd never doubt me. You promised, me Asriel... you'd help me...free the monsters...and our family." Chara whispered, their voice sounded strained and hoarsed, as Asriels ear hovered over their mouth not more than an inch away to hear him.

"N-no...you're right.. You're right Char. I... I said...I said, I'd never doubt you. And I won't." Asriel sniffled. "S..Six right? We just..need six more souls. That's it."

"...That's r-right... together...we'll collect the 6 souls... I'll be with-with you... when you fuse with my s-soul..."

"Y-Yeah..And..we'll do it to-t-together..even if... it's not YOU. We'll be t-together no matter what. You're right.."

Chara looked at their crying sibling. There was a mix of pride, pain mostly, but... something else. Grief perhaps.. That this would be their last memory of their family. The last thing he'll ever remember, and grieving over HIM.

A Human. And one of the very race of Humans that had locked them all Underground.

A Human, who couldn't even tell the difference between cups of butter, and buttercups. And could have helped cause the death of their King.

A Human, who couldn't even earn the love of their own parents, and had to go Underground for the warmth that they never got. From a race of people who were all suffering just as much as he was, and still practically gave him the world.

Chara accepted his fate. He'd had no doubt in his mind at this current point he'd done the right thing. How could he even THINK of taking a Monsters soul?

Monsters were better than Humans in every way possible, Chara concluded. They were a kind and loving species who didn't deserve to be trapped Underground, and he saw it all in that of his sibling, loyal to the very end.

Chara gave Asriel the weakest, most genuine smile he could possibly give, all of his strength leaving his body as he died in the moment.

His red soul drifted in the air. And Asriel absorbed it.

"...Hey, Azzy.." Chara thought, now one with Asriel's soul. "If I...could have just one more request...I'd like to see the golden flowers outside my village, one last time…"

Asara thus, carried Chara's dead body. Chara in control secretly as his mind became semi corrupted by the sheer power he and Asriel now wielded in that of their half-Boss Monster/Half Human form. It was far stronger than ANYTHING Chara could even dream of having. Asriel's untapped magic storage due to him still being so young, combined with that of Chara's immeasurable amounts of determination...

'So... this is what having the power of a God is like huh? Hehehe...Maybe...I should make them all pay for putting my family through all this. For putting ME through all of this. If we're going to kill 6 humans anyways for their SOULs...What's a few more heads rolling for monsters freedom?' Chara thought.

Power had consumed him so much so that he forgot what the original plan was and his mind wanted to use Asara's power to get revenge on his human village, where Chara had originated from before he fell into the Underground.

Asriel was scared, simply allowing Chara to control their shared body, and not really knowing what to expect as he watched through their shared vision as Chara brought their own dead body to the surface and saw the flowers. There was a brief moment of peace, as Chara, controlling their hybrid body, laid their dead corpse to rest.

Suddenly behind them, voices rang out. It was Chara's human father that laid the first blow as they'd thrown a sharp sword at the hybrid. "YOU MURDERED MY CHILD YOU DAMN MONSTER!"

"MURDERER!"

Rage.

Asriel sensed the blood luist coming from Charas half of their SOUL and tried to cull Chara and calm them down. Now realizing just a little too late what Chara was wanting to do.

"Let me go Az! We need their human souls!" Chara called, trying to use the SOUL collecting as an excuse to mostly justify their revenge plot, and commit utter GENOCIDE on their original village. To KILL all the humans who caused him and the Monsters Chara had loved so dearly so much suffering... who in Chara's mind, Chara blamed for having pushed the boy to essentially commit suicide in order to give his Monster family the freedom they utterly deserved.

'LET'S TEAR MY HUMAN FATHER LIMB FROM LIMB FOR ALL THE PAIN HE CAUSED ME!' Chara's thoughts raced in his head as he then tried to use Asriel's fire magic on the town.

"NO! Chara, please...Let's just go back!" Asriel shouted, still trying to stop Chara.

More spears, swords, Axes and so on entered their Hybrids body as even more humans came to join in beating the Hybrid down to the ground.

"I thought you said you'd never doubt me! THIS is what Humanity is like, Asriel! They all deserve death and JUDGEMENT for what they've done!" Chara screamed out, fighting Asriel and trying to fight back the humans in self defense, but Asriel stayed firm. Mentally calling in as much magic and willpower as they possibly could to stay in control now and prevent Chara from murder.

"Chara, please! This isn't like you!" Asriel sobbed, no longer seeing the kind, Chara they'd befriended. The kind Chara they used to call their Best Friend and Brother. "Chara, please, what's wrong?! Let me help you!"

More Humans came to attack the Hybrid. More weapons pierced Asara's body.

"Asriel please, we need to fight back or they're going to kill us! They're going to kill YOU! Asriel!"

The Hybrid had doubled over when a particularly sharp sword went through their chest, just barely missing their Godsoul.

Chara mentally turned to their sibling as he continued to not fight back, panic settling in as Chara fought to regain control of their combined body. "ASRIEL PLEASE! ONLY I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE! NOT YOU TOO!" Chara screamed, now even THEY were getting scared. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LIVE AND FREE EVERYONE! PLEASE ASRIEL FIGHT BACK!"

Still Asriel chose not to fight back, holding back Chara as their Hybrid body took blow after blow…

CRACK!

They both felt it.

Chara's human mother had thrown a kitchen knife, that just so happened to be at the right angle as it hit the Hybrids body dead center in the chest.

Their GodSoul Shattered.

Asriel noticed as Chara had practically frozen into place, no longer fighting, as Asriel, still in control of Asara, had bent down to repick up Chara's corpse, calmly.

"Ch...Cha...c-come...come on..i-it's...t..time to go.." Asriel whispered, as bits of their Hybrid body was already starting to turn into dust as he made Asara smile at the Humans who'd just killed them, and walked away.

Chara said nothing. Even as Asriel commanded their shared body to pick up Chara's corpse and bring it back. Chara was silent the whole time.

Asriel shuddered when he realized, the smile hadn't come from his control. But from Chara.

A single tear fell from Asara's left eye as he walked away.

Eventually, with staggered steps. The Hybrid returned to the safety of the barrier, and into Asgore's Throne Room where the King and Queen were searching for them.

By this point the Hybrids body was already half turned to dust.

"ASRIEL!" Toriel cried, reaching their child first as Asriel collapsed into their arms.

Asriel had wanted to say something, but the instant he started to fall he'd burst into a pile of dust upon contact with the Queen. Dust spread across the floor of the Throne Room…
