Shades of Grey || Murder Time Quartet: Chaos is Power [Phase 1]

[@caramelcupcakes]

Hello! I hope you enjoyed the video! If you have any questions regarding this quartet, please ask them in the comments or reply to this one. Here are answers to the current questions being thrown around: Q: Where does this take place? (Nobody) A: This takes place in the Sonic universe, around the time of Sonic Colors. This means that Sonic (and Tails) are aboard the Interstellar Amusement Park while the fight is happening. As for how the Sanses, Gaster, Chara, and Frisk end up here, and about more lore details, that’ll come in the future. Q: Why does Shadow team up with murderers? Does it contradict his promise to Maria? (Asian Jerry) A: Shadow initially teams up with the Sanses due to a sorta common goal. Frisk has a Chaos Emerald now, which Shadow was informed of by Rouge and wants to take away from Frisk. The Sanses want to fight Frisk too due to the impact Frisk has done to them. Furthermore, as obvious with the previous point, this takes place between Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) and Sonic x Shadow Generations. Shadow is currently trying to forget Maria, so her promise does not factor in here. Shadow does not even know the Sanses killed people around this time, and the Sanses do not kill any Sonic universe civilians. Q: How is Frisk supposed to do anything? (The Toaster, Insert Name Here, SuperNinjaChicken64) A: [REVISED] As previously stated, Frisk is at LV 20 and has a Chaos Emerald. And when I say to not underestimate LV 20, I mean it. The 9th anniversary newsletter states that at LV 20, “you become invincible. Nothing can hurt you anymore.” And the stats that LV 20 has, which is 999 and 9999, “there isn't a number that's higher.” Sonic characters can go toe to toe with gods and death itself, I know. But LV 20 Frisk is not like… Sonic 1 Final Boss level. I’d argue LV 20 Frisk is Perfect Chaos level, maybe even more. And if there are any more problems with this… let's just say the Undertale characters are buffed to fit with Sonic universe standards and call it a day. Shadow not completely sweeping makes the story more interesting anyway. Q: Is Chara with Killer or with Frisk? (waterawesome) A: With Killer! Chara is actually against Frisk here. Chara is sorta like canon here, where they're actually not fond of repeated genocides. However, the Something New timeline still occurs, due to Chara just accepting that this is how things will go on from now. But now that they're transported to a new universe, a new story would actually be viable! So Chara is fighting for that fact. (They're still a ghost though.) Q: Was this delayed for a year? (Astralify) A: Not actually? If you're talking about the original WIP, then I don't consider that being delayed, perse. I think that's more like having a project cancelled and then uncancelled. Even then, the visions for the original WIP and Chaos is Power are different, as Chaos is Power is inspired from Sonic x Shadow Generations. Q: Does the Time Eater factor into this story? (PokeFan583) A: Unfortunately, no. As said earlier, this is before Sonic x Shadow Generations, so anything with that story is still in the future of the timeline. Q: If Sonic replaced [Frisk], would Sonic win? (INLesor) A: I’d say so, yeah! If we’re going with the current time and Sonic is teleported back to the Earth with the Wisps in hand, I think he could solo them. And do not even talk about stuff like Sonic from Frontiers, the combat between him and Shadow would go nuts. Although, he probably won't even do that, since he doesn't have a reason to just randomly fight Shadow and the Sanses. Q: Could Frisk bypass Chaos Control with their "Determination"? (AloeHalo) A: One, no, they can't. Two, they don't even need to! Again, they have a Chaos Emerald themselves. Q: How can Frisk deal damage to Shadow? He can withstand bullets. (maddoxreddish) A: One, LV 20. Two, that's only in Shadow the Hedgehog's (2005) cutscenes, and only when he's able to use Chaos Blast. If you look at gameplay of Shadow (2005) and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Shadow still gets hit by bullets. (At least, if they're not pitifully slow. Even if they are, it still deals damage.) Three, "taking" damage is probably not the important question here, since Shadow would be fast enough to dodge attacks, even more than the Sanses. Q: Does this tie in to “The Bad Sanses” thing with Nightmare and Error? (Mr. Puzzles) A: Nope. In fact, I don't wanna deal with a lot of Undertale multiverse stuff. This is just classic Murder Time Trio. Q: Do the Chaos Emeralds disrupt “Determination”? (Lor4 the ERROR) A: Not really? “Determination” is the power for humans to keep living, I don't see how the Chaos Emeralds are related to that. Q: Will there be an Instrumental version of this track? (MrFuzzy) A: Maybe? I don't wanna post it on this channel, and I don't think I have access to my old second channels? If I find a way, I’ll do it. But for now, probably not. And that’ll be all of it, I think! It's getting tiring explaining a lot of stuff, plus more can definitely be saved for future phases. You can still ask a question, but I can't guarantee it will be responded to. Thank you for tuning in, and please share this around! I put more than 24 hours on this combined, excluding any breaks, sleep, and other stuff. So it'd really be appreciated if this gets more attention. That'll be all, see ya'!

[@Individual281]

I can see Shadow not giving a shit and throwing hands with the human and overwhelming them BADLY with his speed and strength alone. No Chaos Abilities or Doom Powers required, only hands. Now, the Murder Time Trio would probably act as support fire with their long ranged abilities such as bones or Gaster Blasters. In which they can handle the human without losing Horror Sans yet and moving on to Insanity Sans with the help of the Ultimate Lifeform. Plus W.D Gaster being there and shadow (possibly) having the other Chaos Emeralds. To summarize it down: that child is beyond fucked... LV isn't shit when you're going toe to toe with Shadow.

[@IDK-qq7ct]

They’re just bullying the human at this point

[@Semori_gaming]

Call level 20 Chara then. (Erasure)

[@hudnli1375]

as long as they stay DETERMINED THEY AIN'T LOSING (sadly)

[@theonomaly6389]

​@@hudnli1375As much as that might seem to be the case, that can't be further from the truth. You see, different fandoms have different powerscales. Now, crossovers are mess, because of this fact. But holding Shadow to his canon power when he is at his weakest (and I mean his weakest), results in Frisk being incapable of even fighting back. Shadow doesn't have a need for waiting to start a fight. He probably can use the chaos emeralds to remove your save points (considering they are basically the same power as a human soul, if not more). Shadow is fast enough that Frisk (or Chara as the community likes to say) would only land a hit if Shadow wanted them to land a hit. Plus, he actually expects you to try and attack him while he is attacking you. After all, that is how he normally fights. Frisk(/Chara) isn't used to that. You would be hard pressed to tire him out too, as last I checked, he can run for over a days time and still be in pretty good shape. A measuly knife isn't going to do what a Lazer from a fricking world destroying canon couldn't. All in all, Frisk(/Chara) doesn't stand a chance.

[@pokefan5835]

Do you think this meeting is possible because of the interference of the Time Eater, allowing for these timelines to intertwine, free Gaster, and have Shadow meet the Murder Time Trio? This is about the only explanation I could see how Undertale and The Sonic the Hedgehog Series colliding. Unless we're taking in the explanation that those AU's referencing to other media (Sonictale) can create bridges to their own respective Multiverse (IDW, Archie, Classic, etc.). It could be whatever, all I know is, I can't wait for Insanity to pop up and fight with Shadow the Hedgehog.

[@SuperNinjaChicken64]

@shoranrodman865 I already said that I want to stop debating since you're all only applying Undertale to this, when that's not how this works. Seriously, did you know that in game stats mean literally *NOTHING* in power scaling? Especially when going up against worlds that don't take place in a video game, like Sonic. I know that it is a video game, but in canon lore, it doesn't take place in one. & No, you can't put Frisk into the game files & it'll all start to automatically start to play as Undertale or whatever, that's not how coding works. Especially since this takes place during Colors, so you wouldn't even be able to just completely change the gameplay.
