"You have one minute to come up with a strategy before you fight, Super Smash Bros. style!" Uber announced.

I immediately turned around, summoning the top of a Gaster Blaster that was about the size of Taylor's head in my hand. She looked at me confusedly. I explained, "so your identity doesn't get out. it'd be bad if it did."

She opened her mouth in an 'o' shape and took it, but paused, frowning at it. I rolled my eyes, "just put it on like you would a regular mask without a strap." For example, I summoned another to my hand and pulled it over my face, locking into place through magic. I think. Taylor followed my example and put it on after me.

"What the- I can still see!" Taylor exclaimed.

"er, yeah, it still lets you have full view while simultaneously protecting your identity. pretty useful, eh?" I hadn't actually made one before that, but I've had the idea in my mind for a while.

"Your time is up! Prepare to brawl!" Uber announced, "Our contestants are the Red team, Sans and Skits! And the Blue team, Solid Snake and" Here Uber jumped down, revealing that he, too, was dressed up, "Ganondorf!"

"The rules are simple, if you get thrown out of the arena, which is marked by red lights set down by our amazing minions, then you are out for three seconds! After that time is up, you can jump back in! but be warned, this isn't just about getting your opponents out of the ring, because you will be scored! Thanks to our amazing minion, Jeffery," The spotlight turned to a guy perched on one of the many railings, "there will be points given and taken! Jeffery has a device constructed by our very own tinker, L33t, that will serve to show him who has fallen out of the ring, as he himself cannot see everything. Just put on these special bands and when the sensor on them has passed the red line, it will communicate to the device Jeffery is carrying and tell him who has fallen out. He then will add to yet another device which will keep track of points!" he threw down a couple of red bands.

I tilted my head, "so it's just like super smash bros. brawl?"

They both froze, "You've played it!?" Uber exclaimed.

I grinned, "imported the console and game as soon as i figured out when it came out."

"Uber, we have another game-lover here!" Leet exclaimed.

"Yes, my dear man, it seems we do. BUT! We cannot let the beauty of games distract us from our goal!" Uber said dramatically.

"The spreading of the joy of games to everybody in the world!" Uber and Leet said together, striking a pose that wouldn't be out of place in an anime. It looked weirder since they were in costumes that weren't from anime at all.

Jeffery sweatdropped at their antics. I just sighed while Taylor was confused. I slung a skeletal arm around Taylor's shoulders, "alright, you remember how we played ssbb, right?"

"How can I forget; you beat me into the ground so many times," she replied, peeling her eyes away from the scene.

"c'mon, it wasn't so bad."

She deadpanned.

"fine, okay, it was bad for you." I shook my skull, "anyway, you remember how to play right?"

"Yeah."

"it's exactly the same from what i can tell, so just try to get them out of the ring. there might be items, but they haven't said anything about it, but i'm not going to shove it off the table just yet."

"You two done conversing? If you are, then get the bands on and we can fight!" Uber yelled at us.

I summoned the bands with my off hand and caught them with my on hand. Left and right hands respectively. I tossed Taylor one while I frowned at the other. "hey, skits, could ya give me a hand on putting the band on?"

"What? You have two-" she stopped, staring at me. In fact, everybody was staring at me.

"what? why are you staring at me? is there something on my skull?" I patted my face with my hand, poking my fingers into my eye sockets.

"A- Sans."

"yeah, that'smyname."

"You're missing an arm."

"yeah, that's exactly why i asked you for 'a hand'."

She just sighed and grabbed my left arm and threw it at me. I caught it with magic and shoved it up my sleeve and into its socket. "ahhhh, that's better. thanks." I rotated it a few times.

Taylor sighed and shook her head, saying, "Only you, only you."

I pulled the band onto my leg, after taking the foot off, and stood back up. "ready," I called. I was pretty sure I had disgusted them with my casual 'bone displacing'. I can't wait to see the comments for the video. My eyes lit up some more. Er, eye. I wondered if the video would get featured on my wiki page, if it didn't, I'd add it.

Leet and Uber were getting pretty agitated by now, "Enough talking! Let's fight!" Uber yelled out, then tossed his mic at one of the minions that were standing outside the battlefield. Uber pulled up his gauntleted fists, a purple-black miasma leaking from them. Leet did the same as Uber. Leet had several items stored upon his person, grenades, guns and similar.

The minion with the mic handed it off to another person who spoke into it, "Three!" all of us shifted into a fighting position, Taylor shifted uncomfortably, "Two!" I raised my skeletal hands, as did everybody else, Taylor narrowed her eyes behind the mask, "One!" I flashed my left eye, it lit on fire, as did my hands; both making a faint dinging sound. Uber and Leet narrowed their eyes and shifted into a position. Various things flashed through my mind.

Even without powers, I could've been labelled a thinker for how fast my thoughts moved and what it inferred from little things. As I saw Uber and Leet shift position, to me it looked like they were going for a leaping attack, they could also be going off to the sides. All of these thoughts flew through my mind, and more, quickly. "Go!" the announcer yelled.

I instantly slowed my perception of time and saw Uber and Leet start to jump, so I was right on one account. In slowed time, I could move fast, but it expended energy that I wasn't willing to waste, so I returned the perception of time back to normal. They were quicker than I expected and I barely had time to dodge out of the way of Uber's attack. Taylor wasn't as lucky and got caught in the side by Leet's punch.

I barely dodged a purple covered fist, reminding me that I had my own fight. Thanks to my powers I had an innate sense of dodging so that was keeping me afloat in the battle. I noticed that he was charging up for another punch, so it was the same as in the game, well this just goes in my favor, I ducked low and reinforced my fist with bones and brought it up the same time I jumped up. Uber's eyes snapped open as his head was flung back from the force of the blow. I took my chance as his attack was foiled and he was off-guard, I jumped off of his chestplate and landed just inside of the of the ring.

I gained a cocky grin, "hey, uber, can't even beat a skeleton, can you? it seems like you're just as useless as you make your power out to be. being able to master everything, anything, in only a couple of minutes? now that's a power to be proud of, for sure. but you don't. you're not proud of it. why? why do you hate it so much? is it some sort of mental block not letting you reach your full potential?" I took a glance at where Leet was being swarmed by bugs, "or is it from something else? leet perhaps? he might be the kind of thing that's holding you back. or it could even-"

"Shut up and fight!" Uber yelled, running at me. It was the moment I was aiming for. I had been surreptitiously laying bones over the area where the line was, obscuring the light from the ring. His eye caught the light from the other areas of the ring. he tried to stop himself, but he had built up enough momentum that he couldn't stop.

I jumped up as he reached me, and pushed off of him simultaneously shoving him out of the line. I dispelled the bones there and let the tech catch his band, recording his loss. "point for skeleton!" I shouted, raising my hands in the air victoriously. Uber glared at me from outside the ring, "ya snooze ya loose." I put my right hand in a 'L' gesture on my forehead, striking a pose.

I heard a shout of victory and turned from mocking Uber to see that Leet had gotten free of the few bugs that were around him and had successfully trapped Taylor. I clucked my non-tongue several times, "now that just won't do." And sent a bone right up at Leet's manparts. His eyes came very close to bulging out of his skull, but the attack had the effect I wanted, Leet was incapacitated, albeit in a humorous and painful method, and I struck. I rocketed myself across the battlefield using GBs (Gaster Blasters) strapped to my feet. I dispelled them as my foot collided with Leet, sending him flying across the rest of the battlefield spinning out of the ring.

"SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS!" Uber yelled out, running at me.

"he looks pissed." I stated to Taylor.

She gave me a flat look, "Well no duh, what did you even do to him?"

"psychology. it works." I shoved Taylor out of the way and ignited one of my own fists as Uber encroached, fist incased in purple. I pulled back my arm and swung as he reached me, our fists colliding. It was like hitting concrete, but about three times worse. I was lucky that I didn't have skin right now or else it would've broken and bleeding. Uber didn't have that luxury as his gauntleted fist crushed in upon itself, probably crushing his fist in the process.

But the strangest thing was the shockwave of two super-powered fists colliding. Since me and Uber were at the center, we were flung back- not like in anime where they just stay standing there- into the far walls of the building, both of us exiting the ring. I didn't see what happened to Taylor, but I guess that she got flung back, too. I could only guess what happened to Leet.

I shook my head and blinked a few times. Blink? I held my non-skeletal hand in front of my face rotating it. "Huh, so even my changer state has a limit. Good to know." I grabbed my glasses off of my face and teleported them to the desk in my room and created a Blaster skull mask to hide my face. Did I forget to mention that I was still in the wall? I jumped down from my position in the wall and rolled with the landing, even though it was jarring. I popped back up and looked around. Leet was sprawled on the ground a few feet away, Uber was embedded in the wall opposite me, and Taylor was also sprawled on the ground a few yards away from me.

I jogged over to her, crouching down and helping her sit up. She shook her head a few times, getting her bearings, "What, what was that?" she asked.

"Honestly? I don't know, but it was cool." I glanced around, "Let's get out of here before they wake up. I'm done with villains for today." Taylor nodded and I helped her get up. We quickly made our way outside and back out into the street after removing our masks.

When we were a good few blocks away Taylor spoke up, "Well, that happened."

"Yes, it quite did."

"Really? Is that all you can say? After that," she struggled for words, "Insanity?!"

"Not really, but that about sums it up."

Taylor struggled for more words, but then gave up, heaving a big sigh.

"A-ok, then. It's time to get you trained up." I pulled out a few sheets of paper from my jacket, "This is 'Freohr's Plan to Get Stronger'!"

"It says 'Aim to Pass! American Dream Plan!'"

"Ignore that minor detail, what you need to know what to do it on here, and we will get that body in shape in no time!" I put the papers back in my jacket and clapped my hands twice, "What is now needed is some training music. But that minor detail can wait as it is quite late."

As we were talking we had walked to the closest bus stop.

"Wait, training music?" Taylor asked as we waited for the bus.

"Yup! Can't have a montage of you training without good music! Hmm, I'm thinking of having 'I'll Make a Man Out of You'."

"What? I'll make a what out of you?"

"Have you seen Mulan?"

"Mulan?" Taylor echoed confusedly.

"Of course you haven't seen it, Disney doesn't exist in this world." I shook my head, "What was I thinking."

There was a pause in our conversation as the bus arrived and we boarded it. I saw a druggie as we went down the aisle, he wore the Merchants' colors. My eye twitched.

"Merchant here, probably to cause trouble. I'll keep an eye out," I muttered to Taylor as we sat down. I saw her visibly shudder. I put a comforting hand on her arm.

As soon as everybody boarded, the bus started moving and the Merchant got out of his seat, "Nobody move!" he shouted, clearly not as inebriated as he tried to portray. He was also waving a gun around.

My face fell flat and I breathed a deep breath, "I'm done with enough BS for today." I muttered and got up, already skeletal.

"you're coming with me." I said, grabbing the Merchant by the neck and teleporting out.

We landed in front of a police station, and I rang the doorbell. Someone answered immediately, "i got a merchant for you folks, tried to take over a bus that i was on. didn't go over well for him." The Merchant was knocked out from the teleportation.

"H-hey! Aren't you that new cape, Sans?" the Officer asked.

"yeah. what about it?"

"N-nothing, b-but thanks."

I nodded, "your welcome. i'll be getting back to the bus now." I teleported back to the bus, which hadn't moved. I raised a non-existent eyebrow, "you can drive now, the threat's gone and taken care of."

"T-thanks." The driver stuttered.

I waved it away, "no problem, it's my duty as an aspiring hero."

"You joining the Wards?" he asked.

"nah, i'm going indy for now." I replied.

"Good luck with that." The driver said, looking over his glasses.

"eh, i'll survive."

I walked back to the end of the bus and transformed back, but to everybody not in the know, it seemed like I had teleported out again. Taylor poked me in the side as she muttered, "You could've warned me."

"Can't really warn you for certain things like that." I grinned at her.

She rolled her eyes and looked out the window as the bus started moving again.

The rest of the ride was uneventful and we got back home safe. Me and Taylor took off our outside gear and went to our rooms, it was about eight or nine at night. I undressed and got into bed, the ambient sound of the fan running knocking me into blissful sleep.

This is the last pre-made chapter i have available, so it'll be a while before i make the next chapter(as i have more important things that need work on, mainly Nimwhe, or NMWH,WNS.).

whelp, i'll leave this here!
