📍 Location: The Ruins – Entrance Hall

GasterF stood still staring at the spot where the flower used to be. For a moment the air around him seemed to shimmer like it was really hot outside.

The golden flowers did not just disappear. They were replaced by a picture of torn up petals and grey dust. The ground looked like it had been burned, as if some kind of magic had destroyed everything that was living there. Then in an instant everything went back to normal. It was empty dirt again.

GasterF said, "Am I seeing things? My eyes should be working properly.. What I am seeing does not make sense."

He looked at his hands. Saw tiny sparks dancing around his fingertips.

GasterF thought to himself "I think I used much energy when I made the Blaster appear. I might have broken something inside me. I might have even damaged the Ruins. I need to get to my Lab so I can use my equipment to check if everything is okay."

He started walking. He turned the corner. That is when he saw her.

THE GUARDIAN

A tall figure in a cape was standing near the door. She. Put her hands over her mouth when she saw the child with white hair and a cracked face.

TORIEL said, "Oh my you look so different. Do not be scared one. I am TORIEL the guardian of the RUINS."

She walked closer looking worried like a mother. She did not seem to notice that something was wrong with GasterF. She just saw a child who looked like he had been through a lot.

TORIEL said, "You look really pale and you have marks on your face. Are you hurt? I come through here every day to see if anyone needs help. You are the person I have seen in a long time."

GasterF stared at her. He remembered her. He remembered the Queen.. To her he was a stranger. A child.

GasterF said, "I am… Um… Frisk. I need to go to the Capital."

TORIEL said, "The Capital? You are too young to go. The Ruins are full of puzzles and traps. Let me help you. It is not safe to go."

She took his hand. Her hand was warm. It felt real in a way that GasterF did not feel real anymore.

🐛 THE BUG: THE SMASHED PATHWAY

Toriel led him to the puzzle. A bridge with spikes.

TORIEL said, "This is the puzzle but do not worry. Just hold my hand. Stay close to me. I will -"

[S Y S T E M _ E R R O R]

Everything around him seemed to scream. The purple stones of the Ruins turned grey. The light went away. For GasterF the hand holding his did not disappear but the woman became a picture.

The bridge in front of him was gone.

The Sight: The spikes were not hidden in the floor. They were smashed. Big pieces of stone were torn out of the ground.

The Dust: A thick layer of dust covered the floor like snow.

The Atmosphere: It felt cold. The air smelled like electricity and metal.

GasterF looked at the version of the trap. It was not just solved. It was destroyed by force.

GasterF said, "What is this? Everything is destroyed."

Then as quickly everything went back to normal. The stones were purple again. The bridge was intact. Toriel was looking at him with a face not knowing that she was standing in a different world.

TORIEL said, "Is something wrong child? You squeezed my hand hard just now."

GasterF said, "The floor… I thought I saw… Never mind. Let us keep going."

GasterF thought to himself "It is not my magic. What was that other world or time? This cannot be. I have two ideas.

I am connected to two worlds. Sometimes I can see the other world. This might be because I became one with a human and the world is trying to reject me.

Two worlds are trying to become one. I can see it because my soul was, in the Void, which makes me immune. But if this is real it is bad because I saw that the other world was not destroyed by nature. It was destroyed by force."

But these are ideas. Nothing is certain.

FLASHBACK: THE LAB. [DATA REDACTED]

The air in the Royal Lab was thick with the smell of ozone and burning chemicals. King Asgore stood by the blueprints of the DT Extractor. His massive shoulders were slumped because his kingdom was dying.

"Doctor " King Asgore said in a voice. "The Barrier will not break. My people are losing hope. We need more than hope. We need power. I want an army. I want monsters that are fueled by Determination."

Gaster did not look up from his vials. "Determination is volatile your Majesty. If we put it into a monster soul it will cause problems. It is corrosive."

"Then find a vessel without a soul " King Asgore commanded. "Start with something. Use the flowers. If we can make life from nothing we can make an army."

Gaster looked at the glow of a flower on his desk.

"As you wish. My apprentice and I will start the injections away."

The results never came. There was an accident. The Doctor fell.. The flowers were left in the hands of a nervous assistant.

🌻 PRESENT DAY: THE ENCOUNTER

Flowey popped out of the ground with a sound.

FLOWEY: "Hello. I am FLOWEY. I am FLOWEY the FLOWER."

Flowey winked,. Then his smile faltered as he looked at Gasters white hair and scarred face.

FLOWEY: "Wait a minute."

Floweys face changed to a look.

FLOWEY: "You are new are you not? You look terrible. Is that hair? And those cracks on your face did you fall down a flight of stairs?"

FLOWEY: "Something about you feels wrong."

Gaster thought to himself: I have found the Golden Flower. My apprentice actually did it. She finished the Soulless Vessel project.. Look at it it can talk. It is annoying.

FLOWEY: "Do not ignore me. You are new to the Underground are you not? I will show you how things work here."

FLOWEY: "See that heart that is your soul. You want some love do you not? Do not worry I will share some with you."

Five white pellets appeared behind him.. Then Floweys face went blank. There were no eyes, no mouth, a white void.

FLOWEY: "…Just kidding."

The pellets vanished.

FLOWEY: "Do not take those pellets or you will have a problem. You need to find the Goat. She will help you. For now."

Gaster said: "I see. I will do this."

Gaster thought to himself: I need to perform experiments on this flower to see how it works.. First I must fix this body. My soul is still not working right.

Gaster walked forward into the Ruins. Flowey stayed behind wearing a smile.

🩸 THE AWAKENING

Gaster had not walked far when he felt a pain in his chest. It was not physical it was emotional. A scream came from the center of his soul, a voice that was not his.

FRISK screamed: "NOOOOO. STOP. DO NOT KILL THE HUMAN. NOT AGAIN."

Gaster gasped, clutching his chest. The humans grief was so strong it almost knocked him over. He spun around his coat whipping in the wind.

Gaster said: "What was that?"

He ran back, to the patch of flowers thinking the child was reacting to the flower.. When he arrived the patch was empty.

You can watch the previous chapter here.

Location: The Ruins - The Patch of Golden Flowers.

(Gaster lies on the flowers, staring at his small, pale hands. He slowly clenches them into fists.)

Gaster: "What has happened...? where I am. Ah... I remember now. I was in despair. I was dying. The poor human... they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time

(He sits up, his breath hitching. Every movement feels heavy.)

Gaster: "But I understand something now. Despair can make anyone fight for their life at any cost. Even a me."

Gaster (Internal): > I cannot remember after I fall in the core ... or how I even appeared there. Ah somethink missing. How... interesting. I must find my old research. Fortunately, this vessel is a fascinating specimen.

(He examines the palms of his hands, tracing the circular scars.)

Gaster: "I feel different than I did as a monster. if I am monster with Determination? Or a human with a monster's soul? Which of these two is the 'real' me now? And what happens if I die? Do I truly perish, or does the human return? So many questions..."

(He touches the jagged cracks on his face.)

Gaster: "This body has inherited the details of my old form. There are holes in the hands, but they aren't like mine were. They look like scars. It seems when two souls fuse, they share their traits. But...  is the human really die or  ….

(He stands up and extends his arm. A massive, bone-white Gaster Blaster begins to manifest in the air. It hums with power—but after only three seconds, it flickers like a dying lightbulb and vanishes.)

Gaster: "What—!"

(His knees buckle. He collapses back onto the stone floor, gasping for air.)

Gaster: "what happen  . It seems monster and human powers cannot work together yet. I cannot use my full strength. My code is fighting itself. This is... problematic."

Maybe the the fused soul cant use 100% power or somethink hold me but I think I cant  be sure for this.

(He forces himself back to his feet, leaning against the cold stone wall.)

Gaster: "I cannot think about this now. I must move forward. I must—"

(Step. Step. Stop.)

THIS IS MY PIXEL MODEL

The Surface: Sunset

The Barrier was gone. For the first time in centuries, the monsters stood upon the surface, bathed in the orange radiance of a setting sun. Frisk stood amongst them—Toriel, Asgore, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys. They were happy. They were finally free.

But for Frisk, a hollow ache remained. A quiet whisper scratched at the back of their mind: “What if we could see them all again for the first time? What if we could do it just once more?”

The Button

In the center of Frisk’s vision, a golden box manifested. It hummed with a warmth that felt like home.

[ ❤️ TRUE RESET ] “Everything will return to the start. No one will remember anything. Are you sure?”

Frisk smiled. They reached out a small, sun-kissed hand to press the button, yearning to taste the magic of the Underground one last time. They expected the world to fade into white. They expected the familiar sound of the wind.

They were wrong.

The Reset Glitch

The world was supposed to restart, but the code did not loop. As the command was sent, a jagged crack tore through the white light of the transition. For a split second, the Void and the Real World collided.

✋☠❄☜☼☜💧❄✋☠☝📬 (INTERESTING.) DARK. DARKER. YET DARKER. THE DARKNESS KEEPS GROWING. THE SHADOWS CUT INTO MY VERY ESSENCE. BUT THEN—

In the heart of the darkness, a white door appeared, glowing with a sterile, cold light. W.D. Gaster stepped through. He was not whole; he was a translucent, fading phantom. He was free from the Void, but his soul was still anchored to the nothingness. He was a timer counting down to zero, turning to gray dust from the feet up.

The King and the Stranger

Gaster wandered through the Underground like a ghost in a machine. He did not know his own name—his memories were shards of broken glass, sharp and disconnected. Monsters fled in terror from the "Glitched Phantom."

The Royal Guard eventually cornered him. They did not recognize the former Royal Scientist; they saw only a threat. They arrested him and brought him to the Throne Room.

King Asgore sat with him, offering a cup of tea, trying to reach the silent, "brain-dead" prisoner. Asgore looked into Gaster's hollow eyes and felt a haunting, agonizing familiarity, but the Void had surgically erased Gaster’s name from his mind.

The Barrier: The Final Seconds

The tea was never finished. The human child, Frisk, entered the room. The King stood, his face hardening. "I must go to save my people," he whispered.

Asgore and the child moved toward the Barrier. Gaster was left behind, guarded by soldiers, but he could feel the cold breath of the end. His chest began to burn. His hands were flaking away into ash.

Gaster (Internal): > No... not again. The memories... they are returning. I am W.D. Gaster. I built the CORE. I am the Architect! I will not be a footnote in history! I want to LIVE!

The terror of non-existence shattered his amnesia. Gaster tore through his guards, his ghostly form flickering wildly. He reached the Barrier just as Asgore fell to his knees, reaching for the 6 Human Souls to end the struggle.

The Overwrite

Gaster did not hesitate. He threw his fading, dusting body directly into the canisters.

Gaster: "MINE!"

As he seized the canisters, Frisk lunged forward in a desperate attempt to stop him. The Red Soul of Determination collided with Gaster and the six captured souls all at once. Everything happened too fast—the raw energy of the six souls reacted violently to Frisk's presence.

In the chaos, no one was sure who triggered it. Frisk tried to pull back, and Gaster tried to hold on, but his skeletal fingers had already clamped firmly around Frisk’s soul.

The world turned a blinding, violent white. The True Reset was no longer a choice or a plan. It was a catastrophic accident—a glitch born from the friction of too much power in one place. Reality couldn't hold the weight of them both.

When the light faded, the golden flowers were there. The white hair was there. The scars were there.

And Frisk... was gone.
