Big thanks to @ferretukas for letting me draw their Chara! Make sure to check out their profile and all their awesome art!

Me: “This’ll be fun once it’s all put together!”

Me, after 2 hours of very careful sound effect timing and editing: “What the fuck was I thinking?”

Across the Universe

Here, have some AU Frisks of my own making and design! :>

"Damn it!"

There was the sound of glass shattering as Chara threw a bottle at the farthest wall in his anger. He couldn’t believe any of this. It had been a little over a week since the monsters had taken Frisk and had been able to completely overrun the men that he had led in to push them back into monster territory. They had lost a good number of men to the monsters and it did nothing but help fuel his rage .

"How is it that with as many resources as we have that we cant find one fucking woman?! In a place that is currently full of nothing but monsters no less!" Chara knew that it wasn’t really the fault of the people he was yelling at, their only real crime here was just being in the same area as him when his rage came out full force. But in over a week there had been no results at all, no one had seen anything of the skeletons nor Frisk.  How was that even possible? Chara really didn’t know and he hated not knowing. It made him feel weak and that was something he really couldn’t stand. It was why he had joined the mafia in the first place. Why he had worked so hard to prove himself and raise in the ranks. It had taken years to do but here he was and none of it was helping him in the slightest

"Boss we have questioned everyone. The last anyone saw of the gal was when ya faced off with the skeleton." One of the men around him said for what had to be the hundredth time. But it hadn't helped yet and there was a chance that it never would. At least not until Frisk was back.

Chara slowly took a breath and forced himself to sit. He needed to calm down and clear his head if he was going to be any help to Frisk. "Alright what do we know for what happened that  night? I want to know every move of those skeletons from the moment they entered our territory."

Chara spent the next hour or so listening to what was known. And as far as he could tell there wasn’t a single way for them to have gotten Frisk out of there and been back so soon. 'Unless they are hiding her somewhere close.' the voice in his head said but he quickly pushed it back. There was no way that would have happened. Especially because of the fight. If the monsters had lost then there would have been a bigger problem. Since they wouldn't have any chance to collect their new prisoner nor would it have made it any easier to find Frisk.

Chara was ready to throw something else, break something, or better yet shoot something but right before he could act on any of those violent wants he remembered something. Something that he hadn't fully remembered before thanks to the fighting and how quick everything had been happening. "The short one. It was able to vanish completely." Chara said calmer than he had been before. "When the group I was with shot at it and would have hit, it vanished and must have been able to go somewhere else."

The men in the room looked at each other and then back to Chara. "We have never heard of a monster being able to do that before. Don’t you think something that big would have been known right away?"

Chara knew that it would have been. "If anyone ever saw it. Those monsters usually hold their ground or build walls with their magic to protect themselves from our bullets. But this time it didn’t."

Usually the walls would block their sight from the monsters but this time the skeleton was gone before there was the wall of bones. And of course not long after it was discovered that all three of the skeletons were there for the fight. Just dealing with one was challenging enough, two could take on a small army it seemed, but all three together. That was something that no one could go against.

Chara wasnt ignorant when it came to these particular monsters. He knew that they were dangerous. They had split from the original Don of the monsters, taken some land and started to build from there. More than that as far as he knew they had never lost a fight. That would mostly be due to their ability to seem to predict everything that they did. It was uncanny how no matter what they did the monsters always seemed to know about it and were able to counter it.

No one knew exactly how the monsters were able to do it. If it weren't for the fact that a monster would stand out so much one might suspect a traitor. It was something that Chara had even looked into a few times wondering if the monsters hadn't found a way to disguise themselves. But try as he might nothing turned up.

But that wasn't the current issue right now he had to figure out where Frisk was and if he wasn't able to he wasn't sure what they would do to her. He knew that Frisk wouldn't fight she was always too soft for that. And he knew that would make it all the easier for the monsters to do whatever they want to her. " We need to figure out exactly where they took her no matter what that is our first priority. Once we find her we will also be able to gather some information about these monsters and about their Don. If we have to kill them all we will and so help me the City will be covered in their dust."

Chara stood up and walked away from the table he had been sitting at for hours. He was still worried and he knew that time was running short. The skeleton brothers were not known to be kind if anything they were known for their extreme cruelty especially to humans. If he didn't find Frisk he feared that they would kill her, and he could not let that happen.

" I will save you Frisk no matter what."

                                                       ~=~

Frisk wasn't sure how long she had been here exactly, she knew that I'd been at least a couple days by now. After the first interrogation the a skeleton and mostly left her alone. In fact she only ever saw any of them when they would bring her food or when the short one would come to mess with her. She was usually a very patient person but somehow that particular skeleton was able to get under her skin easily.

And unfortunately she knew that he would be showing up soon. He always did and no matter how much she tried to ignore him he always seemed to find a new way to make her react.

Frisk was looking through the books to find something decent to read. There wasn't much else to do while she waited for... something. She wasn't sure what she thought would happen or even what would happen, but she kept hope that as long as she didn't give up everything will be fine and she could go back to her normal life.

" whatcha lookin for sweetheart?"

Frisk jumped at the sudden sound behind her she knew that Sans could just appear and disappear at what seemed like any moment, but that still didn't make it any easier to deal with. She spun around and looked at the skeleton who was laughing while sitting on the couch.

" what's wrong dollface? You look like you're about to jump out of your skin."

Frisk glared and turned her back to the skeleton once more. " I thought I told you to use the door like a normal, civilized, person." Frisk said giving the skeleton a firm glare. This only seemed to amuse him more than scaring her did, and she hated it. Even more so when he caused a knocking sound at the door. She knew it was him because not one of the skeleton brothers knocked before coming in. Sans was the only one who didn't use the door at all. That meant that Frisk didn't get any warning with his visits. At least with the others she could mentally prepare herself for them. Gaster usually just did little check ups to make sure she was behaving and not doing anything that might kill her, after all she wasn’t any good to them dead. Papyrus was generally only bringing food for her or came to drag Sans out saying that there was work to be done. Sans on the other hand came the most often and the only clear reason for his visits was to piss her off and make her uncomfortable.

"It doeant help when you are already in here." Frisk said before turning her back on him once more. She could hear a chuckle from him and right before she could grab a random book and retreat to the bedroom, a place that thankfully the brothers didn't usually enter, she felt a familiar weight on her chest a moment before she was pulled back and into Sans' arms. She had come to understand that this was Sans' magic and he could move her to where ever he wanted. Another thing that she didn’t like about him. She had no control it felt whenever he was there after all how could she when he could, quite literally it seemed, force her to do anything with a simple wave of his hand.

"Let go of me!" Frisk snapped using her anger to hide the fear that she felt. She was sure that he knew that she freaked out on some level whenever he did this and she was sure that it was why he kept doing it. He enjoyed scaring her and reminding her just how powerless she really was here. Why? She had no clue and she wished that she could stop it.  But as always her attempts to stop it were met with a chuckle and him holding her tighter.

"Aww come on now sweetheart yer gonna freeze my bones being that cold. " Sans said with a shit eating grin on his face. But that always seemed to be there.

"Can't be any worse than the cold from that frozen heart of yours. So let go!"

Sans chuckled a bit  and just seemed to hold on tighter and Frisk felt that strange weight of his magic get even heavier making it nearly impossible for her to do anything other than wiggle in his grasp.

"Now now sweetheart is that any way to talk to the person who makes sure ya got some company every day?" Sans asked and Frisk could feel the smirk on his face, one that she really wanted to smack off at the moment and she wasn’t normally one for violence of any kind.

"Your company is one that I could do without." She said before finally being able to move her arm enough to elbow him fairly hard in the ribs. She heart grunt from him at the same moment that the weight disappeared and Frisk wasted no time forcing herself away from Sans and practically sprinting to the room. She let out shaky breath the moment that she got the door shut feeling that she was safe in there.

She was wrong.

As Frisk turned around she felt her heart sink and fear grip her as she saw a thoroughly pissed off Sans standing in the middle of the room. Frisk turned to rush back out but before her hand could even touch the doorknob she felt the weight of Sans' magic right as she was yanked back and slammed into the far wall. Frisk gasped as he air was knocked out of her and her vision swam. She hadn't had any time to prepare herself for the impact and so hadn't been able to do anything to lessen the blow to her head.

"now that wasn’t real nice dollface. I just wanted a friendly talk and apparently that was too much for ya." Sans growled as he stalked towards. It was when he was only a couple feet from her that she realized that she wasn’t touching the ground at all. Her feet were dangling at least a couple feet off of the ground and worse than that was that the pressure from his magic was so strong at the moment that she wasn’t able to move at all. She wasn’t even able to flinch anymore than squeezing her eyes shut as his hand came out towards her. Frisk could feel her heart racing and was pretty sure that anyone within a mile of her would be able to hear it as well with how loud it seemed in that moment.

"Looks like I'm gonna be needin to teach ya some manners." Sans growled sending chills all through Frisk's body.  "And I am going to enjoy every second of it."
