SANS: EMERALD FOREST
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest"Ozpin said, looking at the students.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of 'teams'. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today" Glynda said, and looked over at Sans, giving him a nod.
"These teammateswill be with you for the rest of your time at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well" Ozpin added. Earning a groan from Ruby. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin said, pausing for a moment. He then finished, "Afteryou've partnered up, make your way to then northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die."
A murmur went down the line. Sans could hear the gulp Jaune had done when hearing that final sentence.
Once the students stopped talking, Ozpin explained further on what they were doing, "You will bemonitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately." Ozpin finished, pausing for a second, and asked" Are there any questions?"
Further down the line, Jaune raised his hand, "Yeah, um sir?"
But before Jaune could finish Ozpin spoke, "Good! Now, take your positions"
He was obviously ignoring Jaune, Sans chuckled at that. Jaune had started to speak again but Sans couldn't hear him, as Sans had just been launched off the cliff. Sans immediately used a shortcut to get to the ground. After looking around to make sure there was no Grimm lurking around, once he saw the close was clear, he pulled something out of his jacket. It was Papyrus' scarf, it came with him when he arrived in this world. Sans put on the scarf.
Sans started walking through the forest, he knew where the temple was. He had seen it so he was going to use a shortcut. Without even blinking, Sans arrived at the temple. He took a look at all of the relics in the temple, they were little chest pieces. They were all still there, no one else had arrived there yet. Which wasn't very surprising . He scanned over them all looking for the one Ozpin had mentioned, the one he should take. There it was, right in the middle. It was a bone, half white, half black. Sans smiled, they had actually took time to create a chest piece that didn't even exist. Sans took it, and put it away in his jacket pocket.
Sans contemplated whether or not he should go back up to the top of the cliff. But decided not to, it was time to see how the teams had been done so far. He could also see how strong his classmates were, and also find out their weaknesses.
GLYNDA POV:
Glynda had been watching the students ever since their arrival in the Emerald Forest. One boy in particular though, Sans. He was an interesting character. He never seemed to be telling the whole truth, like he had something to hide. From what she saw when he was fighting, it seemed as if he was holding back. And even holding back he was strong. The power he held was incredible.
She had watched him as soon as she found where he had fallen. He near the area where she had found him, but that was not even in range of when he was fired off the cliff. It was confusing.
Sans had started walking straight forward, and then went behind a tree while walking. When Glynda looked at the next camera he wasn't there. He had simply disappeared. She checked all the cameras until she found him. He was by the temple. But that was impossible that was over a mile away from where he had just been. Had he teleported? But that was impossible. Of course it had happened before, a person having two different powers within their semblance, but they were always similar in a way. Sans semblance had mainly consisted of bones so far, teleporting had nothing to do with bones.
Was he like Salem? Did he have 'magic' like her? But that was impossible, Salem was one of the only humans left with magic, unless of course he was her... Glynda shook off the thought hoping she was wrong.
Glynda wanted to see Sans fight again. See if he had any other skills she didn't know about yet. And also to see to what extent his semblance could go to. Before he started getting tired.
Another thought crossed Glynda's mind, if his power was this high, how high was his aura? Was he unstoppable. When Glynda checked she was shocked, his aura was in the yellow. How? He hadn't even fought a monster, or even got hurt the last she checked. She refreshed he tablet hoping it would she her it was wrong, except it stayed the same.
"Ozpin, I think you might want to see this" Glynda said, not even looking over in his direction.
Ozpin looked over at her, seeing her facial he hurried over wanting to know what was wrong, what she wanted him to look at. "What's wrong?" he said, looking down at the tablet.
"Its Sans' aura. It's on yellow, but he hasn't fought, or even done much either. How could it have gone down?" Glynda said, hoping that Ozpin would have an idea. However his reaction told her the opposite, he was confused, just like her.
Ozpin took the tablet from Glynda's hands, and pressed a button. The button showed how his aura had been since the day had started. It had been on yellow all day. That was different, they had never seen someone's aura so low, that was always like that
"We'll have to ask him later, he's capable of attacking, but one hit could end him by the looks of things. He's venerable, just a hit could end his life" Ozpin said, eyes not moving from the screen, "keep an eye on him. And later on we can double check the recordings."
Glynda understood and nodded, going back to the cameras watching him. Wondering how such a powerful boy could be weak all the same. No wonder he was good at dodging, and it also explained why he didn't defend himself, not willing to risk being hit and dying.
SANS POV:
Sans had been half asleep when he heard two voices, coming closer to him. They were close to the temple and Sans recognised their voices. But he didn't know who it was until he saw them, it was Yang with Blake. He wasn't expecting that. He thought Yang would of ended up with her sister, but the pairing wasn't too bad.
"Oh, hey Sans! I didn't see you there! I didn't think anyone else had gotten here yet, we were pretty fast. So, how long you been here?" Yang said, while looking over at all the chess pieces.
"well, i've almost been here since ozpin dropped me off the cliff." Sans said. He looked over at the other two who were confused.
"What do you mean you've been here since then. Its almost 2 miles away from the cliff, and I don't think the pads could launch you this far!" Blake shouted, getting a bit angry from what she thought of as lies. However he had said it truthfully, but she could find no logic behind it. So it had to be a lie, right?
Sans could sense Blake's distrust, and slowly rising anger, he decided this would not be a good time to push her but he did anyway. "hey i'm not kitten around when i say that. so what's with the clawful attitude? i guess i was pretty furtunate to land this close." Sans looked over to Blake who was getting angrier by the second, he was trying to hold in a laugh.
Blake was staring daggers at Sans. How could he possibly know? She had put a bow on her head just to help disguise them. So how had he found out? She was getting angry by not knowing how he knew and also by his awful puns. Hopefully Yang didn't get any ideas of what he was hinting at.
"i get the feline that purrhapsi haven't made the wisest decisions." Sans said, unable to stop himself from all the pawsibility's that came, he had so many jokes stored up.
Sans managed to stop himself, for a while. Looking over at the two. Blake looked enraged, Yang on the other had found the puns funny, but was confused on why he was saying them. As far as she knew, there were no cats around.
"Loving your puns Sans, but their a bit cat-astrophic seeing as there's no cats around." Yang said, filling the silence that had filled the air. As soon as she said that Sans burst out into laughter, unable to stop himself. His laughter was contagious as she could stop herself laughing either when he started.
Blake on the other hand was not amused by either of them. She was glaring at them both now. She knew that Yang didn't know, and had only done the pun as Sans started. But she couldn't shake the feeling off that Yang might soon find out. Blake didn't want that, there would be so many questions, and some unwanted attention.
Sans saw Blake's face and knew she didn't like this at all. He could sense she didn't want people to find out so he finished off the conversation with one last put, "just furget about my a-paw-ling puns." Okay maybe it was two but no big difference.
"Aww! But I was just warming up!" Yang whined. However she went all excited and shouted, "Oh look a pony!" It was one of the chess pieces, she took it and put in her pocket. "well, guess that's sorted!"
"so where are the others?" Sans said.
As if right on time hell broke loose in front of the three of them. They all had the same surprised look on their face, looking at what was happening as if it were some weird dream.
