Undertale Inverted Fate AU

Thumbnail by Juddy. Song is HELLA outdated.

This is a piece for an upcoming AU project of mine. It's called Inverted Fate, and it'll explore what might happen if the main six monsters swapped roles/jobs, but NOT personalities.

Thus, Undyne is a mad scientist who retains her hotbloodedness, strong determination, heroic persona, and over the top attitude. She's also the final boss of Hotland in the AU, fought inside of a mech suit. 

I plans to create more music for this AU soon, so stay tuned! Art/AU info will be posted to my tumblr (megaderping) soon.  For now, here's a little snippet I wrote when envisioning the leadup to this fight.

---
The ratings soar so high, they've broken the charts. Thousands of monsters glue their eyes to their TV screens, awestricken by the dazzling display before them. Stage lights shine down upon Mettaton NEO, gun arm raised, locked on the human below. He smiles-- no, beams. The calls come piling in. One monster after another showers Mettaton with praise, but he's the Underground's beloved action hero. This is expected, isn't it? He said he'd put on a grand show, and the human's courage in the face of danger, their bold poses, the way they sidestepped bombs, lasers, and more...

Perhaps it's enough to wow Undyne and put an end to her murderous game.

Nonetheless, they must go out with a bang! This is to be his biggest, boldest, and most exhilarating show yet. So he aims his arm cannon at the human, then winks. Bombs soar through the air-- and around the human. They strike the walls, flooding the room with billows of smoke. Amidst the smog, he hovers close, whispers to the human.

"That's your cue to leave, darling."

The human nods, toddles toward the door, but stops for a moment, looking back.

"Oh, don't worry about Undyne! Even the brightest stars have their critics, and I'm well accustomed to her temper tantrums."

So the human flees. They bolt into the hall. However, at that precise moment, the floor lurches. The lights flicker. Sirens wail. Still, the human persists, leaning into the wall for support. Reaching for that elevator door--

But no elevator awaits them. Just a dark, round room with a towering ceiling. An arena of iron and steel. There's a dull buzz in the air. As they look around, heavy thuds and clanks pound their eardrums. A mountain of metal lumbers close, a mechanized suit armed with spikes, flamethrowers, and dense armored plating. From behind a tinted window, Undyne's grinning face greets the child. 

"Fuhuhu... You've got guts, you little brat. I thought you would've keeled over halfway through Hotland, but now you're inches away from the capital."  I bet you're all fired up to meet the Queen, KILL her, and leave the Underground to suffer MORE despair!" The mechs foot stomps the floor. "Well, too bad! I don't care what Papyrus says. You're the enemy of our hopes and dreams!" 

The machines whir even louder than before, and her grin recedes. "It was wrong for me to send Mettaton after you. He's ALWAYS loved you humans... of course he'd hold back, but I'm gonna end this right here, right now, and no amount of 'friendship's' gonna change that!"

Inverted Fate - Scientific Justice (OUTDATED)

NOTICE: The upload of V2 got flagged by SC's automatic system, so I'm using the original Wavering Spirit upload with a new MP3 temporarily. This is a slightly newer render, too. If the old track gets restored, I'll probably put V1 back up for those who want nostalgia, but for now, I'd rather have a more recent version to represent it in the OST.

This whole thing happened because I had uploaded a slightly tweaked MP3, didn't like it, uploaded the V2 MP3 back for a temporary fix, but INSTANTLY got auto-detected, likely because I had flagged someone in the past for taking the song.

tl;dr: Automated copyright systems suck. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Retitled this track because Alphys now wields a Crossbow. New thumbnail will probably rectify this as well.

In my upcoming roleswap AU, Alphys is captain of the Royal Guard, but where Undyne is courageous, strong-willed, and brash, Alphys is quite the opposite. She's still introverted, still questions herself, and while she'd love to befriend Frisk, she's fully aware of the dangers humans pose.

I used Spear of Justice and Alphys' theme as a basis, but with a slightly slower tempo. Additional leitmotifs include Heartache, Megalovania, and Spear of Justice. This is because Alphys herself harbors doubts, and the leitmotifs are symbolic of the characters she holds the closest connections to. Toriel, who is the queen she serves, Undyne, who remains her crush and close friend... and also is actively planning to kill Frisk if they make it past her, and Sans, who is a fellow royal guard (albeit a lazy one), whom she feels is the stronger of them.

I may refine this piece at a later date, but I thoroughly enjoyed making it, and I hope you enjoy it, too.

[Inverted Fate AU] Wavering Spirit (Important Notice in Description!)

Downloads enabled, but PLEASE do not reupload elsewhere without my permission!

Took a bit of a hiatus for personal reasons, but I wanted to make something nice to celebrate 100 followers. This track was a challenge to put together, and I may rework it later. Still, it was a great deal of fun.

In Inverted Fate, Toriel does assume the boss position Asgore fills in canon, but her motives are different.

This song uses a LOT of leitmotifs. There's bits of Heartache + Fallen Down + Memory + Once Upon a Time + ASGORE + Bergentruckung + Your Best Friend + Alphys + Megalovania... The prominent use of Asriel's leitmotif is due to the fact that Toriel still mourns the loss of her child.

Flowey's theme is present because of Flowey's role in the AU as Frisk's "friend" and traveling companion and also due to his actions prior to the fight. Once Upon a Time can represent Chara or Frisk, though I intended the former in this case. As for Alphys + Megalovania... Alphys is guard captain, and the Megalovania bit can be seen as representing Sans as fellow guard or Chara if you prefer.

tl;dr: A lot of these leitmotifs reflect plot and character roles in Inverted Fate that have yet to be revealed in the story proper.

More Undertale mixes soon, now that I'm getting back in the groove. Got some Inverted Fate -and- Story Shift stuff in various stages of completion.


[OUTDATED] [Inverted Fate AU] Bergkönigin + TORIEL (Seriously, go listen to Fallen Crown)

This is mostly a test track for Inverted Fate to see if Wavering Spear/Alphys' leitmotif can work with the Ruins track. I will probably redo this later. Mostly did this for fun and experimentation.

Working on setting up a blog for my AU so that it's more accessible. In the mean time, you can find the prologue, part 1, and part 2 at...

Part 1 of Asgore's battle theme in Inverted Fate. Obviously based on Heartache, but I took some liberties when transferring some of the leitmotifs to fit the piece. The reason I said it's only Part 1 has to do with the way his fight's going to play out in the story, but I'll say no more than that.

NOTE: This is not Underswap. You can find more about my AU at...

I plan to set up a designated blog for it soon. Part 3 is also forthcoming.

No, this is not Underswap. Read the FAQ if you're confused. :P

Anyway, I revamped Scientific Justice to sound more fitting for a boss battle. It's been months, so revisiting this old track was interesting. I am very happy with how it turned out, however, and I hope you enjoy it too!

Thanks to all the kind folks following me! I hope to have more music out very soon. Just have a few things to finish first.

[Inverted Fate AU] Scientific Justice 2.0 (200 follower celebration)

Most people, when making Underswap Undyne tracks, make the song using the same exact instruments as the one in Alphys. It's perfectly okay to do this, but I don't think that instrumentation fits Undyne at all. This is just my take on it.

Special thanks to Keno for the flp that made this possible!

Here's the comic, if you're confused about what the AU is. c: The blog also has a FAQ!

No, I didn't copy Gibus with the use of IRSE. I had actually started this song before he posted it, which makes for a funny coincidence. Also, yes, I'm aware a lot of people treat Megalo as a Chara theme. It's a valid theory, but not one I choose to follow (I prefer Once Upon a Time for Chara). If that's not your headcanon, that's totally cool. It's all just a matter of preference.

Decided to go with a more laid back tempo for this, as IF Sans retains his original personality. Slower tempo, and his "nyeh heh heh" is basically a chiptune "sans."

[Inverted Fate AU] heh + Lazybones (go listen to the new version)

Special thanks to Keno for the base FLP. This revamp was a collab with Jimmy the Bassist (https://soundcloud.com/jimmythebassist). We both spent a lot of time sprucing the tune up, so I hope you enjoy!

If you have questions, I recommend reading the comic and the FAQ. 

As I said before, this song has nothing to do with Chara. I use Once Upon a Time as their theme. Motifs used include sans. + STMPWYS + Megalovania + It's Raining Somewhere Else.

[OUTDATED] [Inverted Fate AU] heh + Lazybones v2

I'm so glad I can finally show this off now that the ARG is over. I slowed down the melody in Passive Aggressive and changed it up a bit to include STMPWYFS. Also, I outsourced to Keno to make it sound more authentic.

ALL comments about or relating to Chara / Storyswap will be deleted. Seriously. Not even joke comments. It's not funny.

I'm on a Sans kick.

Special thanks to Jimmy the Bassist for providing the base flp that made this possible.

In Inverted Fate, Frisk is more than just a silent protagonist. They're a full on character with their own personality and struggles. Ergo, it seemed appropriate to give them a theme. If you can guess what track inspired it, you get a virtual plate of Papyrus' patented SCIENTIFIC SPAGHETTI. It may give you laser vision.

Motifs used: Reunited + Stronger monsters, with a bit of Once Upon a Time 'cause narrachara. 


[Inverted Fate AU] Your Theme(Theme of Frisk)

BEFORE ANYTHING; Yes, I know Megalovania is Chara's Theme, but this is for Inverted Fate, and I wanted to make a megalovania remix for papyrus... thank you

This might be my best one yet...

[Undertale AU - Inverted fate] Disbelieving Rage

http://invertedfate.tumblr.com/tagged/inverted-fate-comic/chrono/

Decided I'd do the start theme for my AU. No, Flowey does not swap with anyone. Yes, there are more start variations than in the actual game, as you befriend Blooky, as well as Sans separate from Papyrus, and a certain other monster is also included. ;)

Please READ the AU before accusing it of being an Underswap copy. It is not, and I should think Flowey's theme being so prominent is proof enough, but there's a bigger story to this universe beyond that.

[Inverted Fate AU] Restart (full start theme)

I wanted to do another IF track that wasnt interchangeable with Underswap but bones, heya, heh, and sup were already taken.

IF has a lot of Sans tracks.

Creds to Keno for the thumbnail. Also, for the remainder of September, I'm gonna do only Sans-themed songs.

Inverted Fate - skeletwo.

i need to make more normal undertale remixes lol

have this in the meantime, quite like it myself

[Undertale AU - Inverted Fate] THE SONG THAT PLAYS WHEN YOU FIGHT THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!!

No, you may not upload this to youtube.  Read the comic here: http://invertedfate.tumblr.com/tagged/inverted-fate-comic/chrono NO, ASRIEL AND MK DON'T SWAP. That's dumb, and Flowey literally remembers canon as a major plot point.

Decided it was time to refine Tori's theme, so I did. Added some new stuff, refined a few things, redid the intro.

Motifs used: Heartache, Fallen Down, His Theme, Once Upon a Time, Bergentruckung, ASGORE, Your Best Friend, Fallen Down Reprise, Alphys, Megalovania

There is a reason for every motif used. Note: IF is a Megalosans AU. :P Deal with it.

I don't even like Apollo Justice's soundtrack that much.
