*Long ago, a human fell into the CORE.
*On the brink of death, the human called out for help.
*And somebody came.

UNDEREVENT 2024 - Shift In The Horizons

This is TRACK 100 for the indie RPG known as "EPOCH of DECLINE." 

{ This is the MEGALOVANIA replacement for my and @ribimaka's hypothetical take on "SWAPFELL." }
{ Inspiration for the AU's name is taken from "Secret of Mana." }

===

This is possibly the most ambitious "UNDERTALE" related project I have ever created, and the first I am immensely proud of.
Credit to "Toby Fox," "Vic the Underfella," and "Khoppang" for creating "UNDERTALE," "UNDERFELL," and "SWAPFELL" respectively.
Thank you to @ribimaka for creating the thumbnail art, helping with writing, and the song's title. <3

[Introductory Dialogue]

===

* cruelty.

* your inhumane acts of slaughter surpass even the likes of the many barbarians that fell here.
* i ask this of you, why?
* what drove you to make this decision?
* such rash, mindless brawn...
* ...

* the life cycle here is straightforward.
* defend yourself. fight to live. if one is to get in your way, it is a matter of life or death.
* but you are different. 

* you went out of your way to uphold brutality.
* ravaging all you come into contact with, and purposefully seeking more.
* you are a blight upon this world.
* a stain to be wiped, a blemish to be cured. 
* and if i am to be the last who stands before you...

{ SOUL flicker transition into battle. }
{ First attack would happen, with little chance to anticipate it coming. }

* I will purge you from every medium of this shattered world.

===

[Repentance Dialogue]
{ This is the “spare” (repent) dialogue replacement. No intermission to spare Papyrus is given between phases. You have to REPENT multiple times in the fight. }
- Dialogue by @ribimaka.

===

[ * (I cry.) ]
[ * (I cry.) ] 
[ * (I keep crying.) ] 
[ * (Tears stream down my face.) ] 
[ * (It’s all so sad. I keep crying.) ]
[ * (…) ]
[ * (Papyrus stares right through me.) ]

* …
* what are you trying to prove with this?
* that you can be redeemed after the atrocities caused in your wake?
* you have left our kind to rot without a moment of contrition, and you think you can be even remotely forgiven?
* you sicken me.

[ * (It’s true.) ]
[ * (Deep down, I know I am unforgivable.) ]
[ * (It’s hopeless, is it not?) ]
[ * (Atonement? For THIS?) ]
[ * (I made my choice long ago.) ]
[ * (There is no going back.) ]

{ The MERCY button is shattered. }

===

[Check Text]
[ * (PAPYRUS - 30 DEF 30 ATK) ] 
[ * (Only one thing I can do now.) ]
[ * (I wish I could say I was sorry.) ]
 
===

[Flavor Text]
{ Instead of KARMA, you are afflicted with "GUILT" (GT) in this fight. GUILT is an effect that causes the player to take more damage and lose rational thinking. Using an ITEM may result in a wrong selection being made, for example. } 
- Idea conceptualized by @ribimaka.

===

[ * (The GUILT from my sins weighs me down.) ] @ribimaka

[ * (Coward.) ] @ribimaka

[ * (I feel myself losing track of thought, the gravity of my actions overtaking me.) ]

[ * (The damned call for my departure, and I feel the compulsion to agree.) ]

Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans

* HUMAN.
* I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
* YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN PAST ALL OF MY TRAPS,
* BUT THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
* FOR MY NEXT TRAP...
* ...IS A BATTLE, AGAINST ME!!
* I'M SORRY IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY.
* BUT ALPHYS IS NEVER GOING TO LET ME IN THE ROYAL GUARD IF I MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!
* YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS WOULD MEAN FOR MY RESUME.
* A CLEVER BONEHEAD LIKE ME WOULD BE PERFECT AS A GUARD AND LATER, ASSISTANT ROYAL SCIENTIST.
* THEN PAPYRUS FINALLY WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WORK...
* ENOUGH WORDS, UNLESS THEY'RE FIGHTING ONES!
[* Battle starts]
* Sans blocks the way.
> ACT
> SANS
> CHECK
* SANS ⬜ ATK ⬜ DEF
* It seems like his stats are redacted.
* YOU THINK I'M JUST GONNA STAND THERE AND TAKE IT?
* THAT'S SENSITIVE INFORMATION THAT ONLY I CAN KNOW!
