Just as a disclaimer, I'd like to inform you all that I do not own Undertale or anything related to Undertale…a fact that saddens me deeply.

Undertale: Redemption

Chapter 1: Beyond the Mountain

It had been three years since the seal had been broken. Three surprisingly short years, despite everything that had happened. Political tensions, financial incompatibilities (although, the gold did fetch a pretty good price on the human market) and, of course, no shortage of problems integrating with human society. Given the less-than-subtle first impressions, courtesy of Papyrus and Undyne, it came as a genuine shock (and obviously a massive relief) that someone didn't get hurt. The locals were definitely scared, but not hurt.

The speed at which things had developed was impressive to say the least. Homes came first, naturally, along with a name: 'Newer Home', followed by a new Grillby's and MTT deluxe hotel…all within the first week or so. With Sans and Toriel working together with Frisk as ambassadors, negotiations with the neighbouring towns went well. Shortly after, Monsters and Humans were living side by side. There was some level of discomfort at first. After all, modern Humans didn't even know about the Mount Ebott legend, and Monsters had been led to believe that Humans were violent psychopaths (Frisk, however, was more than aware that this was true for one or two select individuals).

Things have been mixed since then, however. While the local townships were accepting of Monsterkind, the wider Human populace was a little less so. Major world leaders acted on their fears and sanctioned the Monsters' efforts to expand, some even proposing a means of physically blocking them off from the rest of the world. People elsewhere are uncertain of what to think regarding the mountain's denizens, leading to division amongst the Humans…much to both Toriel and Asgore's displeasure. They knew what led to the last devastating war with first hand intimacy. How things were going so far in the wider world might not be hostile, but it was definitely unsettling.

Still, things on a local scale were pretty fantastic. Everyone was where they had always wanted to be, doing the things they always said they would. Papyrus spent his days 'NYAH HAH HAH'ing down the highways in his car, Undyne and Alphys are living together and showing the world what a perfect couple really looks like, Toriel and Asgore are…well, still working things out but at least no fireballs are involved now and Sans gets to lay back and relax as the sun bleaches his bones…so not really a massive change there...

…And Frisk?

Let's just say things are complicated. On the outside, she's the same, smiling child that everyone knows and loves. But on the inside, she's a nervous wreck. RESET after RESET, vivid memories of violence and death…and Chara. If anything scared her most out of everything that manifested in the mountain, it was Chara. She'd already possessed her once before, and every time Frisk would RESET, there was the very real, very dangerous risk that the little psycho would come back. If she ever did…Frisk didn't think she'd be able to stop her again. And if that wasn't bad enough, there was Flowey. The annoying little yellow flower never left the mountain when everyone else did. He, and Asriel by default, were still down there…somewhere…plotting. Not to mention her role as ambassador to Humankind on behalf of Newer Home. She was pretty much responsible for the diplomatic issues involved with integrating an entire people to a world notorious for being unaccepting of others. It was a huge burden…but being mentally many years older than her body, Frisk took it her stride like a real Heroine would.

The ride hasn't been smooth, and probably won't be for a long time yet, but they're getting there…slowly but surely…hopefully…
