DAILY LIFE: One Sword, Two Spears, Red Saber, Blue Fish

Club Penguin - Forest

"So... uh, what do you do for fun, anyway?" Undyne asked Red Saber, the two of them conversing together in the midst of the forest. The two had unexpectedly encountered each other while pursuing their own interests; Undyne had unexpectedly missed a date with her friend Alphys, and with little else better to do now, she tried to strike up a conversation with the strange girl.

"You speak of recreation?" Saber asked. "Ah, I do adore to spend my time upon a stage in front of an admiring audience. Be it acting in a play, singing or even showing my talents in combat," she proudly proclaimed with a big smile on her face. "...However, I do enjoy solitude sometimes, such as taking a long relaxing bath to rejuvenate the body and mind."

"Hey, I can get behind that," Undyne said. "And not just because I'm a fish, either!" she swiftly added with a hearty chortle. "But you're a fighter with a talent for the stage, hm? You know, I may not look it, but I'm a pretty skilled percussionist. Pianos and guitars are my forte! I was even part of a musical once, all about one of my past escapades!"

Saber's curiosity was piqued. "Oh? And what happened in this historical play, may I ask?"

"I… er…"

Memories of a whole song sequence devoted to her inability to defeat a harmless child, only to be saved by that same child from something as mundane as dehydration, spilled back into Undyne's head. That, and the large number of people who saw it - saw her humiliation - on live television.

"W-well, all you need to know is that I was the strongest under the land, and I never got beaten once! Certainly not in some pathetic way ill-fitting of a proud warrior like me!" Deep down, she thought to herself, Urgh, the next time I see that fancy-pants tincan, I'm gonna 'politely request' a smidge of creative control over his scripts!

"I'll take your word for it," Saber said with a smile. Undyne couldn't be sure, but it seemed as if she saw straight through her. Fortunately for her pride, Saber decided to change the subject; "But that isn't where your main passion lies, is it? You seem to enjoy living these battles, instead of recreating them." Seeing the opportunity for a learning experience, a mischievous grin appeared across Saber's face as her sword appeared in her hand. "I must admit, I do have a desire to pit your spear against my blade," she said, taking a fighting stance.

Undyne smirked back. "You know it!" she replied, still standing upright. "That said, though..." Surprising Saber, rather than readying her spear, she dispersed it. Was she hard-headed enough to fight bare handed? That was when Saber heard an odd sound, one that sounded like the ground was gargling. Suddenly, a half circle of spears popped out from behind Undyne.

"Let's just say, you mean my spears, plural!" Undyne boasted, a spear even larger than the ones she summoned forming in her hand. "Time to see if you're as good, if not a better sparring mate than Nightwing!" she said, taking her stance. She twirled the spear she was holding in a defensive manner, but the spears around her seemed as aching for battle as she was.

Saber showed no fear of the spears that shot out of the ground; if anything, she was excited about it. As the spears charged towards her, she showed her skills with the blade in what could be described as a sword dance, deflecting each one with swift strikes.

"I stand ready. Show me the might of warriors from worlds beyond even my knowledge!"

The birds nesting in the trees, recognising what was about to happen, decided to pack up and wait for the ghastly business to blow over. Loud sounds of metal clanging against metal heralded a large flock flying out to somewhere more quiet.
