The Last Point of No Return

Date, Time: 14\04\2023, 09:50:12

Place: The Bar Counter, The Coffee Bar AU

A portal opens. Guess, who's—

Naki, you missed... A LOT.

— "Oh, hello again Naki."

— "Hello Merc, what did I miss?"

— "A LOT."

If I'm telling this, YOU ACTUALLY DID.

— "What happened this time?"

— "Deta tried to erase the bar, explode the bar, and use radioactive clouds."

Ehh, not quite...

— "Well, where is he now?"

— "Ded."

— "I hope seven feet underground."

— "Taka just took and murdered Deta."

— "Good." Naki looks a little bit sad.

— "Which is why happened all of this bull—"

— "Wow. Deta murdered."

— "Sup, Charlie."

— "Yeah..." Frisk confirmed.

— "I can just revive him. S—"

— "DON'T!"

— "NO!" Merc added next to Naki.

— "Oh, cool, a fractured soul."

— "I should have took the soul," Taka says to Charlie. "It would be nice as a puppet. ..And then you guys are calling Weather dangerous then there is this shit."

— "I was also aware of Deta, that's why I communicated it to you."

— "I meant myself, Naki. But that works too."

— "Well, I'm..." he sighs, "disappointed that I couldn't be here to protect the bar, but I'm happy that you guys were able to defend it."

— "Here's the thing. It happened because I killed Deta."

— "What?"

— "I killed him, he was being annoying. There really isn't much to explain."

— "...So I can kill people if they're annoying?" Potato made her conclusion. "Bet–"

— "No, you can't," Merc replied.

— "No, but I can," Taka slams Potato with a frying pan.

— "JOEY, COME BACK, I'M BEING BULLIED–"

Meanwhile..

— "Silly ding-dong. What the helll.. Something happened to the bar." Charlie tries to figure something out. "And I didn't know."

— "Ceiling broke, wall collapsed... bar split in half..." Frisk tells the situation to Charlie. "It ended up that Merc was needed to disable bar's code."

— "But the bar does automatically revive people–"

— "I don't think it does. We have a reviving method?" Naki asked her.

— "I think.. MERC! YOU DISABLED THE CODE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

Merc: Action: CODE ERASED

— "..This will take me ages.."

— "There is NO NEED to return the code," he answers to Charlie.

— "First off, people will not be allowed to access this code unless you're a barista or like above. Merc, you don't understand. Nothin'. Works. Because of you."

— "Charlie, YOU don't understand. Deta's chaos happened because of the code."

— "Back off. Anyway–"

— "Need help with it?" Naki questioned her.

— "No."

Merc hands to Charlie a reserve copy of a core code of the world:

— "Here, play with it. I always have plan B."

Naki whispered to himself:

— "(Too bad the plan A always sucks.)"

 Deta went back to the book and turned the pages almost to the very end.

Deta, iTem: 19/04/23, 09:09:00

— "REWRITE STARTS IN.

 8. 7. 6. 5.

 4.

   2.

    1—"

 Then came the algorithms familiar to him, so he began to read the third row of sheets.

Place: NOT The Bar Counter, The Coffee Bar AU

The earthquake is gone. Outside visibility: 0

Probably, it's already clear that a funnel begins right after the door of the bar and continues right to THAT place where was DetaScop. The depth extremum: 44 ft.

After a few minutes the clouds flew away... And you see absolutely no one outside except for... Deta? Wait, there's another one, who 'opened the wrong door' in the bar before THAT and ran outside by kicking the door down, do you remember him?..

— Cough. "I. Swear." A few more coughs. "He's actually crazy."

He still holds the used 'REWRITE' button, leaning back to a bar's wall, full of green zeroes and ones.

Not Deta pulls out the rewritten Deta's soul from the bosom, part of which he picked up after Taka broke it.

— "He-heh..." The glitched violet-blue heart doesn't even shake in his hands. "That was... Uh, very risky. And now I can finally know that.." He creates a tesseract and carefully puts there the soul. "..Mission's completed."

"Deta" opens a portal to the Infinite Void, tying the 4D figure with a few strings, and makes it lost near the some of thousands of them. After that he closes it and falls asleep, nullifying the button and waiting for tomorrow's opening.

— "Good night, Xsate."

 After these events, he wasn't in the bar for exactly a month. But the mentions of his name continued. Of course, this interested him, so he put the book on his lap and picked up the sheet where his name was mentioned.

 For the full picture, Deta started reading it a little before the mention.
