Megalomaniac

"Megalomaniac - A person who has an obsessive desire for power."

- The definition of Megalomaniac as seen at the beginning of the episode.

Megalomaniac is the 1st episode in the entire Glitchtale series.

Synopsis
Frisk confronts Sans in the judgment hall, but it seems like something is different this time around. When they begin fighting, as usual, Sans dominates Frisk and kills them over and over until he lost count, but a strange substance creeps on Frisk's soul. A black substance, known as Hate. Frisk is shown to repeatedly glitch between Chara and themselves during the fight. When Frisk finally decides to Reset, Chara takes over their body. They fight Sans once more, but Chara is far more powerful than Frisk and dominates Sans, avoiding all of his attacks with ease. Meanwhile, Frisk is trapped in a prison of Hate and attempts to break through. When he finally does, he sees Chara about to kill Sans and gets in the way of the fatal hit. He gives Sans his soul, and Sans Resets the timeline but first, he kills Chara.

Plot
The episode begins by stating the meaning of a megalomaniac, defining it as a person who has an obsessive desire for power.

It then cuts to the final corridor where Frisk and Sans are about to engage in combat for the former is in the course of a genocide route. Sans begins their battle by sending forth a barrage of bones which Frisk manages to dodge, but they gets caught off-guard when a group of Gaster Blasters materialize behind them and blasts them to death before they could react upon it.

Frisk returns to battle once again thanks to their SAVE point, but this time, they immediately attacks Sans with a knife, only to miss. Sans counterattacks by slamming Frisk onto the wall with his magic then lining the wall with bones, impaling them which kills them once more.

Frisk comes back again, but their image begins to flicker between Chara’s and their own. Their soul also starts to grow black tendrils around its edges (Hate). Seemingly oblivious to this, Sans and Frisk briefly recollect their bonding moments in the previous timelines before they begin fighting again. Frisk repeatedly glitches into Chara and back to himself as he fights while the black tendrils branch out further in their soul. In the midst of the battle, a flashback appears which shows how Chara, who was controlling Frisk's body, mercilessly killed Sans's brother, Papyrus, who believed that Frisk could change from their murderous ways. The scene then returns to the present in which Sans kills Frisk five more times.

Frisk reappears at the load screen and begins to feel regretful about his actions. He reaches for the RESET button, but to his shock, HATE pulls his arm away, which now fully envelops his soul, and traps him, allowing Chara to take full control of Frisk upon loading Frisk's save file. Chara is now the one facing Sans in the final corridor. Sans appears to notice the change yet he continues to fight Chara in place of Frisk. The two are neck and neck in combat while Frisk has to watch everything happen through a wall of HATE. Eventually, Sans tires out and Chara is about to strike the final blow, but Frisk manages to smash the wall and takes the fatal hit. Frisk apologizes to Sans for what they did and asks him to fix his mistakes, leaving behind their soul which Sans quickly takes before Chara could snatch it for himself. By absorbing Frisk's soul, both of Sans's irises turn blue, and the control on the CONTINUE and RESET buttons switches to him. He proceeds to kill Chara with ease by impaling them with a large bone then blasting them with a group of Gaster Blasters before he resets the timeline.

Lyrics
Listen and hear a song the birds are singing Sit down a while and watch the flowers blooming A pleasant breeze flows by ... leaving a trail of dust ... This / This... Is... Your... Fault...right? / Fault... right?

Standing in the corridor Who thought we'd be here like this together? On a gorgeous day like this, I ask... What is it that you want?

I believe there was a time When we were pals and things were better Eating bad food enjoying laughs.. / laughs... Can we go back to that?

If you're in there listening, kid... Just reset the time line And please let's forget all of this

Even after what you did he believed in you 'til the end... / 'till

Looking at your face right now That expression tells me I can't afford not to care anymore

Turn this path around, wipe your dirty hands clean. Give up!

Please don't come back If you're my friend Please...

Listen and hear a song the birds are singing Sit down a while and watch the flowers blooming A pleasant breeze blows by leaving a trail of - / of- How could you have done this?

Is there still a glimmer of hope? Will you choose to do the right thing? Please now, bud If you're there Have a change of heart

Listen and hear a song the birds are singing Sit down a while and watch the flowers blooming What a nice day...
