Timeline •----: [Chapter 7]

Flowey (Asriel) sprouting from ground to follow Alphys and Undyne to their home. As Undyne got a bit curious "So ALPHYS…my sweet girl , how did your recent 'science project' went? And how can we fix well…whatever the prince turned into I guess…"

Flowey (Asriel) hovers nearby, chiming in with curiosity, "Yeah, Alphys, spill the details. I'm quite the unique specimen now, aren't I? And what's the plan to make me less... flowery?"

Alphys stammers a bit, glancing between Undyne and Flowey. "W-well, um, the experiment went... differently than expected. Flowey, you're not exactly a typical case. As for fixing you, I'm working on a solution, but it's quite complicated."

Undyne raises an eyebrow. "Complicated, huh? Well, you better figure it out fast. We can't have our Prince stuck like this forever!"

Alphys spoke "I know Al-alright , a-again n-never attempted before as for me…welcome relief of surprise and well.." fix glasses "atleast two humans got revived…"

Flowey nods, his multicolored petals shifting slightly. "Yeah, it's a weird situation, but hey, I'm not complaining about being alive again. And those two humans, Frisk and Chara, seem to be doing fine."

Undyne grins. "Well, if they're okay with it, then it can't be all bad. Just make sure you fix things soon, Alphys!"

As they continue their conversation, Flowey glances around the room, contemplating his newfound existence.

Alphys nod awkwardly , then Undyne glance at Flowey with skepticism before saying with a smile "So it is TRUE sorta…that you the Prince I mean kinda passed away , but indirectly still manifest through one of King As gore's golden flowers.. my girlfriend plucked out?"

Flowey (Asriel) nods, his petals drooping a bit. "Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. It's weird, but it's what happened. I'm not fully back to my old self, but at least I'm not stuck as a soulless flower anymore."

Undyne chuckles. "Well, it's good to have you back, even if it's in this flowery form. We'll figure things out, right Alphys?"

Alphys nods, determined. "Y-yes, Undyne! We'll find a way to help Asriel and maybe even return him to his original form!"

Undyne then scratch his head "Wait , so the reason he got his form because he got all 7 human souls? Ohh shoot….Wait so the 7th soul was brought back to Frisk the human again?"

Flowey nods. "Yeah, Frisk sacrificed their soul to bring me back, and it turns out Chara was somehow tied to them. It's a bit complicated, but here we are."

Undyne smirks. "Well, you got a whole bunch of soul power now, right? We're gonna use that to fix you up, Prince Asriel!"

Flowey chuckles nervously. "Yeah, let's hope so. Alphys and Sans are working on it. By the way, where's Papyrus? I haven't seen him around."

Undyne grins. "Oh, he's probably with Frisk and Chara at Sans' place. They've been having a bit of a sleepover, I guess."

Flowey raises an eyebrow. "Sleepover, huh? Well, that's new. Anyway, let's head back to your place. I want to check in on how things are going with the plan."

Alphys said with a hush to Flowey "Yes we ge-get that after a bit of an e-eat out break…I need to scan your DT soul power level Prince Asriel since well we did rely on it to succeed in reviving such a feat of not one-as TWO human children…along with lending back one of the souls.."

Flowey, now Asriel, glances around the familiar surroundings of Undyne and Alphys' home. Undyne seems intrigued, asking, "So, Asriel, you remember being a flower? And now you're like a mix of your old self and that flower?"

Asriel nods, explaining, "Yeah, it's a bit weird. I've got this new form, but I can still remember being Flowey. It's like I've got pieces of both."

Undyne smirks, "Well, you better not turn evil and try to reset everything again, got it?"

Asriel grins, "Don't worry, Undyne. I've got a feeling things will be different this time."

Alphys, looking at her monitor, murmurs to herself, "I just hope the readings from Asriel's soul remain stable. The implications of this experiment are fascinating, but also potentially risky."

Undyne overhears and gives Alphys a reassuring pat on the back, "Don't worry, Alphy. We'll handle whatever comes our way."

As the trio settles in, the atmosphere is a mix of curiosity, hope, and the lingering uncertainty of the unusual experiment they've embarked upon.

They smile , then Undyne facepalms "Shoot as well. How are we going to excuse the Prince' absent with Ms.Toriel and King Asgore? Since the last time they see their revived child visiting your lab right Alphy?"

Alphys ponders for a moment before suggesting, "Well, we can tell them he's helping us with some scientific research. I mean, it's not entirely a lie, considering the circumstances."

Undyne grins, "Perfect! We'll just have to keep it on the down-low. Can't have the royal parents worrying about their resurrected son being involved in some wild science experiment."

Asriel chuckles, "I'm up for it. Anything beats sitting around in the garden."

And so, the trio plans to keep Asriel's involvement in their experiment a secret from Toriel and Asgore, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding events.

As he is in a Flowey form , Alphys ask "So you mention that base on Frisk and Chara's revival , your insight hints that despite the other 6 human souls taken and passed away from their vessels….you can hear their voices and identities?"

Flowey nods, his multicolored petals swaying slightly. "Yeah, Alphys. It's like I've got a council of voices in my head. They're not exactly individual souls anymore, more like echoes of the humans they once were. But hey, they're keeping me company and providing some interesting perspectives."

Undyne raises an eyebrow, "So, you're basically a flower with a committee of human souls giving you advice?"

Flowey grins, "You got it, Undyne! It's like having my own personal think tank. Plus, it helps me stay sane... or as sane as a flower can be."

Alphys chuckles nervously, "Well, we did our best to recreate the DT extractor, but I'll need to monitor your soul power closely. We don't want any unexpected side effects."

The trio continues their conversation, navigating the complexities of Flowey's unique existence and the implications of their ongoing experiment.

They nod , as Undyne beams "So how does before Frisk was revived carrying their DETERMINATION like? Since 7 human souls help you maintained your form?"

Flowey recalls, "Well, before Frisk was revived, it was kind of like I had this burst of energy. Their DETERMINATION combined with the other 6 human souls created this surge that revitalized me. It's like feeling alive again after a long time. But, you know, with added flower petals."

Alphys scribbles notes, "Fascinating. It seems the combination of Frisk's DETERMINATION and the other human souls played a crucial role in your restoration. We'll need to monitor any fluctuations in your soul power closely."

Undyne grins, "Hey, it's like a teamwork thing, right? Humans and monsters working together, even if one of them is currently a flower."

Flowey chuckles, "Yeah, who would've thought teamwork would involve a flower and a bunch of human souls?"

As the conversation continues, the trio delves deeper into the intricacies of Flowey's unique condition and the potential implications for their ongoing research.

Then he added "Plus , compare to my AHEM usual Flowey look since I reverted to this now I have kept my promise and return one of the soul to their vessel (Frisk) and it grew another (Chara). I still had emotions and my identity intact compare to back then being SOULLESS!!! Hehe….Although it was fun being patient being in my usual Boss monster form for a week(referring his usual Asriel Dremurr look like a goat boy in striped shirt)

Undyne laughs, "Well, it's good to have you back, even if you're in a more flowery form. And I'm sure Frisk and Chara appreciate the effort you've put into this whole resurrection thing. By the way, did you learn anything interesting during your brief stint as a boss monster?"

Flowey grins, "Oh, definitely! Being patient, making plans, it's like a whole new experience. But I'll admit, I missed the freedom of zipping around as a flower. Less hassle, you know?"

Alphys chimes in, "Well, it's all quite remarkable, even if it's unconventional. I'm curious to see how this dynamic evolves, especially with the connection to the other 6 human souls."

Flowey nods, "Yeah, me too. It's like I've got a new lease on life, or well, flowerhood. Who knows what other surprises this timeline has in store?"

The conversation shifts to exploring the potential developments in this unique situation and the impact it might have on both the characters and the broader narrative.

Then , Flowey glance at Undyne "wait , typically in other timelines I know of…the closest thing you grasp them Lady Undyne was infact deja vu you ignored. So….did Alphys manage to explain and share it to you back then to understand such a concept? While also processing my return since a week ago and the barrier broken…"

Undyne scratches her head, "Well, Alphys tried her best to explain those things about timelines, but it's not easy to wrap your head around, you know? Plus, I'm more of a straightforward, action kind of monster. But yeah, I get that there are some weird timey-wimey things going on."

Alphys interjects, "Undyne, sweetheart, you've got a knack for dealing with the present, not the intricacies of temporal mechanics."

Flowey smirks, "Temporal mechanics? Fancy words, Alphy. But yeah, Undyne, just think of it like this: crazy stuff happens, and we roll with it. That's the best approach."

Undyne grins, "Exactly! We're tough, we can handle whatever comes our way, even if it's time doing somersaults or whatever."

The trio continues discussing the complexities of timelines and how the characters navigate through them, all while trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy in their lives.

Then , they heard a ding to Alphys' phone as she said "Good news!!! The former Dremurr couple accept the excuse of their son staying over for more scientific studies for the day!!! Phew , here I thought I need to lie deeper or make them worry that their own son…unaware the reason he was possibly revived was FLOWEY all along…"

Undyne chuckles, "Well, that's a relief! We don't need King Fluffybuns and Tori worrying about Asriel's extracurricular activities, especially when it involves science experiments. Let's just hope they don't ask too many questions."

Flowey grins, "Great! Now we can continue with the science stuff and, you know, fixing whatever's going on with me."

Alphys nods, "Yes, and maybe we can gather more data about the effects of the human souls and their interaction with Flowey's form. This is groundbreaking research!"

Undyne raises an eyebrow, "Just as long as it doesn't involve turning into a giant killer flower again, I'm on board."

The trio prepares to delve back into their scientific endeavors, navigating the complexities of their unique situation with a mix of curiosity and caution.

Flowey awkwardly chuckle "Moreso a GOD OF HYPERDEATH…since technically that still happen when I used the entire underground's souls of monsters to break the barrier before releasing them (except the human souls) , as Frisk decided to also lend a favor since I did help free us to the surface…"

Undyne gives a hearty laugh, "Well, I guess even flower gods need a day job doing science experiments. Let's get back to it then!"

Alphys adds, "Right! We have a lot to uncover about the effects of human souls, especially in this unique scenario. Plus, maybe we can figure out more about Gaster's involvement. The mystery man with the hands can't escape our scientific scrutiny!"

With renewed determination, the trio resumes their work, navigating the complexities of magic, souls, and timelines in their quest for understanding.

Undyne and Flowey froze awkwardly unaware what Alphys meant. She got more frantic to realize Sans hints not everyone is aware of the fellow (that shouldn't exist)

Alphys stammers, "Uhh, I mean, not that I know anything about any mysterious figures. I was just talking about...uh, science stuff, you know!"

Undyne glances at Flowey with suspicion, "Flowey, do you know something about this Gaster guy? Spill the beans!"

Flowey hesitates before responding, "Well, let's just say he's a bit of a 'handy' character. But hey, I've been out of the loop for a while. Maybe you two can fill me in on the details later?"

They nodded. Then , they observe Alphys' tablet with the data graph to measure real time to earlier records of Asriel/Flowey's DT soul power data (before and after helping to share such power to revive frisk and chara) and manage to pinpoint how to manage to recreate his original form being a goat boy without the need of another 7th human soul or stealing a monster soul.

As Alphys continues analyzing the data, she excitedly mutters to herself, "This is fascinating! It seems the infusion of the 7 human souls played a crucial role in stabilizing Asriel's form. Now, if we can replicate these conditions without the need for additional souls, we might have a breakthrough!"

Undyne nods approvingly, "That's some next-level science, Alphys! Flowey, you're not just a flower anymore, you're a science experiment success story!"

Flowey grins, "Guess I'm not just a regular old flower. Who knew being a part of cutting-edge research could be so... enlightening?"

Alphys blush and whispers to Flowey "Still , You really don't mind since forever that the reason your technically revived as a Soulless flower of yourself due to my earlier experiments with Determination?"

Flowey smirks, "Come on, Alphy. It's not like I had much of a choice in the matter. Besides, being a flower with a bit of an identity crisis has its perks. Plus, it's not every day you get to help bring back a couple of humans and redefine your existence in the process."

Undyne adds with a chuckle, "Yeah, you're like the ambassador of weird science now, Flowey. Embrace it!"

Flowey rolls his eyes playfully, "Well, if weird science involves occasional existential crises, then I'm the king of it."

They laughs. Undyne with "Fuuhuhu" while Flowey is cackled cute "hehehehe" as Alphys awkwardly smile as she mutters "Hmm , I guess my least failed experiment or invention was technically creating Mettaton's robotic body and different phases since the secret well he is a SPIRITUAL TYPE monster but now evolved into a Monster soul since he got 'corporeal' having a vessel to possess…"

Undyne playfully nudges Alphys, "Hey, don't sell yourself short. Your experiments might be a bit unconventional, but they do get results, especially this time with Flowey's... revival. Speaking of which, Flowey, you better not cause any trouble. We got a pretty good thing going on the surface."

Flowey grins, "Trouble? Me? Never! I'm just here to enjoy the oddity of my existence and maybe spread a bit of friendliness around."

They continue chatting, the atmosphere lightening with humor and camaraderie.

He winks "Besides , if you want proof I am not soulless Undyne as Dr.Alphys claimed here!!!" As he showcase the white outline wrapping around the fused human souls of 6 to her

Undyne raises an eyebrow, examining the display of the fused human souls. "Well, hot dang! That's quite the spectacle. So you're saying you got these souls backing you up now?"

Flowey nods, "Yep, that's the gist of it. They're my little cheering squad, and it turns out, I'm not as soulless as everyone thought."

Undyne grins, "Well, as long as you're not planning any world domination, I suppose having a flower with a bunch of human souls inside ain't too bad."

Alphys chuckles "Well , the reason FLOWEY back then was like that subtly was because—-being probably alive but no soul must be so emotionless , disconnected and empty"

Flowey nods, "Exactly. It was like floating in a void, aware but devoid of any real feelings. Now, with the fusion of these human souls, it's a whole different experience. I've got a front-row seat to their unique personalities."

Alphys adds, "It's fascinating from a scientific perspective. The emotional resonance between monsters and humans is more intricate than we initially thought."

Undyne smirks, "Alright, you science nerds, as long as we're not dealing with another underground apocalypse, I'm cool with whatever."

Flowey chuckles, "No apocalypse plans here, just enjoying the unpredictability of this new existence."

Then , suddenly Mettaton in his EX form dances around and says "Hey DARLINGS!!!! I heard we had a guest in our household Woah THAT FLOWEY!!!!"

Flowey waves with a cute grin, "Hey, Mettaton! Long time no see, right? Or, well, technically not that long for me, but you get the idea."

Mettaton winks, "Oh, darling, I always appreciate a charismatic flower. And look at you, all vibrant and full of life! You've got quite the story, don't you?"

Flowey chuckles, "You could say that. Life's been a rollercoaster, but hey, at least I'm not stuck in that soulless state anymore!"

Mettaton strikes a pose, "Well, let's keep the energy up! We've got a fabulous ensemble here, and I won't let anything bring down the mood. Let the show go on!"

Undyne grins, "Always the entertainer, huh, Mettaton?"

Mettaton blows a kiss, "Darling, it's in my circuits!"

Alphys then frowns "Well anyways , Undyne can you distract and explain this out with Me-m-metatton I need to chat and do my work with Fl-Flowey (Asriel) Privately okay?"

Undyne salutes, "Sure thing, Alphy! Come on, Mettaton, let's discuss this in a more... dramatic setting!" She leads Mettaton away, leaving Alphys and Flowey alone.

Alphys glances at Flowey, "So, uh, what's on your mind, Flowey?"

Flowey grins, "Oh, you know, the usual. The complexities of being a flower with a soul, the intricacies of my revived form, and maybe a dash of existential pondering."

Alphys nervously chuckles, "R-right. Well, let's get to the technical stuff. I've been monitoring your Determination levels, and it seems stable after the revival. But I need to make sure there aren't any unexpected side effects or complications."

Flowey nods, "Yeah, better safe than sorry, Doc. I'd rather not turn into some unexpected monstrosity again."

Alphys sighs with relief, "Exactly. So, let's run some diagnostics and make sure everything's in order."

They delve into their work, discussing the intricacies of Flowey's unique situation and the potential implications of his revived form.

Flowey bops and waited as he spoke "Hey I have been thinking of awhile now despite observing afar and before Frisk fallen underground. I use to be the one doing the RESETs….although vaguely enough only The skeletons had a good grasp of their deja vu compare to others so…How did you come across injecting determination on golden flowers? Was it by random order or notice something that made a specific one stand out from the rest?"

Alphys adjusts her glasses, reflecting on the past, "Well, it wasn't entirely random. I was experimenting with Determination injections on various objects, trying to create beings with SOULs. When I injected the golden flowers, one of them exhibited a unique response. It absorbed the Determination and took on a more... sentient nature. That flower turned out to be you, Flowey."

Flowey raises an eyebrow, "So, you intentionally chose that specific flower to experiment on?"

Alphys nods, "Yes, I had a hunch about its potential, and it turned out to be correct. But I never anticipated the full extent of the transformation or the consequences."

Flowey grins, "Well, here I am. A talking flower with a soul, thanks to your experiments. Can't say I expected my afterlife to be this interesting."

Alphys smiles, "I'm glad you see it that way, Flowey. Despite the initial challenges, your existence has opened up new possibilities and knowledge for us. Now, with your revived form, we might uncover even more about Determination and its effects."

Flowey chuckles, "Guess I'm a walking experiment. But hey, beats being soulless and stuck in a flowerpot."

They continue discussing the details of Flowey's transformation, sharing insights and theories about the nature of his unique existence.

They chuckle. As Alphys ask "What did you mean by YOU CAN DO RESETS like Frisk as they did? Like BEFORE they came along? Is that a unique power?"

Flowey nods, "Yeah, before Frisk fell underground, I had the ability to RESET. It's not as straightforward as Frisk's power, more like a subconscious ability tied to my newfound form. I could rewind time to some extent, but it wasn't as controlled or precise as what Frisk can do."

Alphys looks intrigued, "So, you were resetting timelines even before Frisk arrived? That's quite an unexpected revelation. What made you stop doing it?"

Flowey sighs, "Well, it was a bit of an unintentional discovery. I realized I could manipulate time to some degree, but the more I did it, the less satisfaction and purpose I found in it. Eventually, I stopped resetting altogether. It was a lonely existence, repeating the same events with no real connection to others."

Alphys ponders this, "Interesting. Frisk's ability to RESET seems to be more deliberate and controlled. Your experience sheds light on the complexity of these time-altering powers."

Flowey smirks, "Life gets complicated when you mess with timelines. Frisk handles it better than I ever did."

Alphys nods, "Indeed. Frisk's determination and understanding seem to give them a unique control over the timeline. It's a fascinating aspect of our current situation."

They delve deeper into the intricacies of timeline manipulation, exploring the differences between Frisk and Flowey's abilities and how it all ties into the mysteries of Determination.

As Flowey looks down "Still in some of the RESETs my soulless self committed….I know not much remember it's just…I still hurt lots of people in the underground , regardless of my curiousity just to test if I can feel anything…Eitherway , why did you mention your most successful work being Mettaton's body?"

Alphys hesitates before responding, "Well, Mettaton's transformation into his EX form was one of my most significant successes. I managed to create a robotic body that not only enhanced his performance but also allowed him to manifest a form of spiritual energy, essentially turning him into a Monster with a soul. It was a breakthrough in blending technology with magic, albeit unintentionally."

Flowey raises an eyebrow, "So, you inadvertently turned Mettaton into a monster with a soul? That's quite an achievement."

Alphys nods, "Yes, it was unexpected, but it laid the groundwork for my later experiments with Determination. The knowledge gained from Mettaton's transformation contributed to the development of the DT extractor, which played a crucial role in reviving Frisk and Chara."

Flowey seems contemplative, "So, in a way, you inadvertently set the stage for bringing back the fallen humans. Funny how things work out sometimes."

Alphys chuckles nervously, "It's a bit of a rollercoaster, isn't it? Unintended consequences and unexpected discoveries seem to be a recurring theme in my scientific endeavors."

Flowey smirks, "Well, you've certainly kept things interesting, Doc."

They continue discussing the intricacies of Alphys' experiments and how they influenced the current situation, delving into the complex interplay of science, magic, and the consequences of their actions.

Then Alphys then hesitates "Still before Mettaton I can't deny both your Soulless Flowey incarnated state I am unaware of and the unintended failure of the fallen monsters injected with determination turned into Amalgmates instead…They did still got accepted by the families thanks to Frisk and my Fri-friends encourage me to face the truth.."

Flowey nods, acknowledging the complicated history. "Yeah, the Amalgamates were a result of failed experiments, and it's fortunate that Frisk and your friend helped bring acceptance to those families. Things didn't go as planned, but it's essential to learn from both successes and failures."

Alphys sighs, "Absolutely. It's crucial to confront the consequences of our actions, whether intended or not. I've learned a lot along the way, and even with the setbacks, it led to breakthroughs that eventually brought back Frisk and Chara."

Flowey looks thoughtful, "It's fascinating how the journey unfolds, isn't it? Despite the challenges and missteps, we've reached a point where we managed to revive the fallen humans. And now, here I am, back in a form that's a blend of my original self and this new, soulful existence."

Alphys smiles, "Indeed. It's a testament to resilience and the capacity for growth. We adapt, learn, and sometimes stumble upon unexpected outcomes."

They continue discussing the intricacies of their past endeavors, reflecting on the twists and turns that led them to the current situation. The conversation delves into the complexities of scientific experimentation, morality, and the unforeseen consequences that shape their understanding of the world around them.

Flowey then bops "Still , I do desire my body back a bit…I only experience maintaining it for a week…so are you debating if I possess a temporary vessel like Mettaton? Or a substitute to actually had that same level of soul power to let me transform to such form?"

Alphys nods thoughtfully, "Yes, that's a consideration. We'll need to explore options for a more permanent solution that allows you to regain your original form. Whether it's a temporary vessel or finding a way to accumulate enough soul power, we'll have to delve into the possibilities. It's a challenging task, but with the progress we've made so far, I'm optimistic about finding a solution."

Flowey grins, "Great! I'm up for the challenge. Just imagine me strolling around in my original body again, a proper prince of the Underground. It'll be quite the sight!"

Alphys chuckles, "Absolutely, Flowey. We'll work on it together. And who knows, with determination and some scientific ingenuity, we might just achieve the impossible."

Their conversation shifts to brainstorming potential strategies and experiments to pursue the goal of restoring Flowey to his original form, blending scientific curiosity with the hope of a positive outcome.

Then , at the other area of the house. Undyne and Mettaton were laughing at the tv where it has compilation of Mettaton's vlogs of the underground and surface as of recent time. Before Mettatton spoke "So basically Darling , you're telling me the superstar human is back and the first fallen of that Prince as well? Quite amusing to hear…"

Undyne grins, "Yep, that's the gist of it. Flowey's got himself a bit of a situation going on, and Frisk and Chara are back in action. The surface life is full of surprises, even for us monsters."

Mettaton chuckles, "Oh, darling, the drama is simply divine! I can already see the headlines: 'The Royal Family's Resurgence!' Imagine the fanfare and excitement. This could be my next big break!"

Undyne smirks, "You're always ready for the spotlight, Mettaton. But hey, it's a celebration, right? We've got Frisk and Chara back, Flowey's doing his flower thing, and the world's our stage now!"

Mettaton strikes a pose, "Absolutely, my dear Undyne! We'll make headlines and dazzle the world with our fabulous selves. The monsters of the Underground are ready to shine on the surface!"

Their laughter fills the room as they continue enjoying the entertainment, reveling in the newfound joy and opportunities that the surface world has to offer.

Undyne then frowns "But pipe it down for the Flower okay? Not everyone knows Asriel's revival is connected to that flower…"

Mettaton nods, "Understood, darling. We wouldn't want to steal the spotlight from the main act. Let's keep the flower drama under wraps for now and focus on the positive vibes."

Undyne grins, "Exactly! We'll let Frisk, Chara, and Flowey handle their business. Our time in the limelight will come, but for now, let's enjoy the show without stealing the scene."

The two continue watching the TV, savoring the lighthearted moments and anticipating the adventures that lie ahead for the monsters on the surface.
