A Shift of Events (StoryShift! Chara x Male! Reader)

No, no no no no no NO ! 

I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want to. 

But I knew that it was his. His bandana, his dust. That motherfucker killed him.

"Sad ?~" A voice said behind but far away. I looked behind to see a silhouette. I recognized the shape of the chainsaw. I needed to calm down. 

Do not do anything stupid Y/N. Do not let your feelings get in the way, you learned that. 

"You'll fucking pay for this, I swear it to you." I said loud enough to make myself heard, I received a mocking laugh from that son of a bitch. "Come and try big boy~" He said, and then, his shape was nowhere to be seen. 

I stood there for a good 10 minutes, I was shivering but I didn't care, the shock made me unable to feel the cold wind flowing around me and my previous friend's dust. I quickly stuffed his bandana inside my pocket and made my way home.

I needed to put a lock on my feelings, I needed to think rationally and objectively. But I couldn't do it, I couldn't stop the rage who was growing.

When I opened the door, Chara was still on the couch, looking in the void. When I looked at her, I was unable to stop my emotions from spewing. "Chara..." I said, trailing off, she looked at me and I saw her face, her eyes, she already knew what happened. I took the bandana out of my pocket and I put it on the small table who was ahead of the TV. "I'm sorry." I said, looking at her. I couldn't stop it, and I couldn't stop the tear who fell down on my cheek.

Chara took the bandana and smiled dryly at it. "It fucking gets me every time." She said lowly, but I knew that she wanted me to hear it. "Every time ?" I asked, she ignored my question as she just put the bandana at her neck. The silence was filling every fiber of the house, the dread in the air was feeling my lungs each time I breathed. But what stunned me the most was Chara. She wasn't showing any emotions, and just stood there.

"Are you serious ?" I asked her, and this time, she looked at me. "What do you mean ?" She asked back, looking at the ground. I was a little angry because of her answer. "Are you really gonna sit there and not move a finger ?" I asked, I could feel my voice being angered. The me of three weeks ago would laugh at me right now. She didn't even responded. "You're really gonna wait until that bitch will kill everyone ?" I said, she then looked at me and I could see that she didn't want to hear one more word from my mouth.

But I didn't care.

"He's killing every fucking one down here ! Why don't you move ? He killed your own broth-" I yelled, but got interrupted by her slapping me in the face. "Shut up. Don't talk like that. Don't talk like you know what it feels like. You fucking know nothing." She said. "What did you said ? I don't know how it feels ? I know how this feels, it ain't the first time ! So I'm asking : Why the FUCK are you immobile ?!" I yelled, it pissed me off more that I ever imagined. She stood up and summoned a knife and pointed it at my throat. "Why do you care now huh ? What made you want to act ?" She asked. I quickly move away and disarmed her. Magical knifes ain't knew to me. "You're still on that shit ? I don't fucking know what the fuck are you talking about." I said, walking towards the door. "Fine, if you don't want to avenge your brother. I will avenge my deceased friend. Have fun doing nothing." I said as I opened the door, looking at her. I saw how that last phrase impacted her, but I didn't care, all I wanted was to kill Shifty.

I started to walk towards the next location as I saw something moving fast towards me. "Surprise !~" A voice said, I recognized it a little too late as he kicked my gut, making me fly away. It was stronger that the kick before. "You said that you wanted to make me pay, come on now~" He said, I took the bait as I ran towards him. I threw a punch but he dodged rapidly and kicked my chin and punched me quite hard, making me fall. "Isn't it cute ? Bark and no bite~" He said, I tried to get up but he swiftly kicked my face, making me unconscious.

I could hear some metal clashing fast, someone panting and the other was laughing. Once I opened my eyes, I was in some sort of golden corridor, I looked where the sound came from and I saw two figures fighting, and it was intense and fast. The metal clashing came from the knife and chainsaw of the figures. Once my eyes were adjusted enough to the new light, I noticed that I knew the two person fighting. 

Shifty was the chainsaw wielder, Chara was the knife wielder. Each time Chara managed to kill Shifty, he somehow came back on that little spinning star on the ground. I tried to move, but I couldn't, which surprised me since I saw nothing who could pin me down like that. "CHARA !" I yelled, I thought that I couldn't, but I could. And I'd come to regret it since she turned her head to see me, which broke her focus and created an opening for Shifty to impale her with the chainsaw. I saw Chara's blood splatter everywhere near her, and the only sound I could hear was the gushing sound of her inside being torn by the loud and weighty sound of the chainsaw. 

Once Shifty stopped the chainsaw, Chara fell flat down face first, but I still saw her moving a little bit. She tried to grab Shifty's ankle but he turned on his chainsaw again and cut Chara's hand, and Chara's head. I couldn't look at it anymore but I needed to see Shifty. Once he was done, he laughed like a maniac while he was walking towards me.

"Aren't you happy ? All your friends died, and your closest one died because of you~" He said, I swear to fucking god I'll kill this bitch. I looked at him dead in the eyes and even myself I could feel the hate spewing out of my eyes. "How cute, but you won't do anything.~" He said, while smiling like a madman. "After all you won't remember next genocide, and you'll just watch everything happens, like always." He said, he didn't care to torture me as he was already cutting my head off. I yelled of pain until suddenly, the whole world turned dark.

*

Next thing I saw, was myself during the events earlier, but this time I didn't act, making Shifty put his hand on Chara's arm. 

Then, it was at Chara's house, she was wearing Asriel's bandana, and I did nothing, not talk, not even trying to support her. 

And finally it was the same scene as before, the Golden Corridor, this time I called Chara and Shifty cut one of her legs. Once he was done torturing Chara, he came for me and cut my head off. 

And the cycle repeated. With different way of killing Chara.

Again. 

Again.

And again.

And again, and again.

It was a nightmare, seeing everything go back to zero and seeing everything turning out the same each time. 

*

I suddenly woke up in a grey room and I remembered everything at once. The runs, the resets, the genocides. That's why Chara insisted on the 'again' thing. It's because it's all a cycle. And I saw how I did nothing in each runs. That's why Chara and that bastard said that I wouldn't do anything.

They were right. Chara had every right to be mad at me, because I'm pissed at myself too. How could I stay inactive when Shifty was doing mass genocides ? How could I say those things to Chara ? How could I face myself in the mirror now ? 

How could I redeem myself ?

...

...

I know how.

It's time to bring back an old friend of mine.
