A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for the SUPER long wait. I know I said a "few days" but that turned into about two weeks. I was getting ready to get back to school. My mom insisted that I do so. Telling her "No, I want to write fanfiction" would be the same as saying "Yes mother, I do have a death wish". Yah get how messed up that is? Anyway, I started writing this fanfic late at night because I felt that you guys shouldn't wait any longer.
I should also note that writing fanfiction is about to get extremely hard to do after the 6th of September. That's when my American high school year starts. So, chapters won't be updated as often as they have been.
Well, I suppose I should address reviews now. Sorry if I don't answer yours.
Lazy Author with writers block: That is one of the single best ideas I've ever heard. Whoa, that would be such an AWESOME twist! I kinda want to do that now…
Should I? We could do a mini vote on that. Should Cinder be Chara? If enough people like the idea I'll find some excuse to make it true.
yaoiprincess101: It's not a problem, though it should be noted that whatever the chapter entails corresponds with what episode I'm on.
King Joker: I'm not sure how I would go about doing that, it seems rather perplexing. I could give it a try later on though.
FionaXC: Aw, your review was so simple, yet it made me smile so much when I first saw it.
Guest(?): There was a particular one of you that sent me music tracks. They don't work for me, as in, I copy and paste the thing into the URL and nothing comes up. Apologies.
Guest(?): One of you pointed out an accidental joke I made, and I only have to say whoa. And good eye by the way.
I think that's enough of those for the time being, apologies if you had a question that I didn't get to. I promise to address it at a later date. I merely skimmed the reviews that I received when I wrote this.
I also saw that people were surprised that I winged that last chapter. I did that because the other version didn't save, so I settled on spit balling it. But I've always winged stories. ALL of my stories are either a hit or a miss based on an idea that popped into my weird head. THIS story was spit balled, but you all liked it so much so I kept it going.
My procedure for writing chapters is I first watch the episode, and then shove Sans in there. Sometimes I differ from original plots but eh.
While we're on that subject, I would like to reveal the winner of the ship for Sans based on your votes. Drum roll please.

YANG! It was pretty close. The score was 8 to 7 in Yang's favor. I'd also like to thank EChurch for coming up with the ship name "Burning Bones". I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna use it. Apologies to those who wanted to see him shipped with Ruby, or who didn't want to see him shipped at all (I think there were about 5 of you, to my knowledge)
Anyway, I've held you up long enough. So, without further a doo-doo,
Enjoy!
Teams JNPR, RWBY, and Sans sat in the library doing various activities. RWBY busied themselves with a board game while Pyrrha and Ren read books while Jaune read a comic and Nora slept. Sans sat at the table with JNPR seeing as they had extra room. He wore his headphones as he idly read a novel.
Pyrrha took away Jaune's comic, and gave him a more educational book that she felt he should read. Jaune sighed and propped his head on his hand, and scanned the room. His eyes eventually fell on Sans, and he decided he had nothing else better to do than start up a conversation.
"Hey, Sans." He called over to the boy across from him. Sans looked up from his book and took off his headphones.
"Yah say something Jaune?" He lazily grinned over at the blonde.
"I've got a question."
"Shoot,"
"How do you do that thing that makes your eyes disappear, and then gives everybody that weird feeling?" Jaune asked. The rest of his team was curious also as they subtly turned their attention to Sans.
"Huh? Oh wait, yah mean this?" As the finally word left his mouth, his eyes disappeared and everyone at the table felt a chill run down their spine. Nora even woke up from her slumber. As soon as the moment appeared though, it vanished and Sans eyes returned to normal.
"Y-yeah, that," Jaune answered, shaking off the feeling. Ren took that moment to turn a page in his book, before Nora fell asleep on one of the pages again.
"I don't think a demonstration was necessary." Pyrrha spoke up. Sans glanced at her with his regular grin.
"Maybe it wasn't, but it was fun." He chuckled. "That's basically me flexing a muscle, to answer yah question. That's my semblance." He said looking back at Jaune.
"What about that feeling?" Jaune asked a second question. Sans shrugged.
"Well, I think that feeling is called 'killing intent'. Yer mind understands that I have the potential to kill you, even if that's not what I wanna do." He explained. "I think that's how it goes, but I dunno."
"Huh, that's interesting." Jaune put a hand to his chin. "Another question I have is how do you get to places so fast?" Jaune asked again.
"Yer asking a lot of questions, yah know? I take shortcuts." He answered Jaune's question.
"Can you take me to one sometime?" Jaune asked hopefully. Sans nodded and put his headphones back on.
"Sure," The conversation ended after that. Jaune sighed and looked for something else to do. The game Weiss was playing looked interesting. He stood and walked over to their table.
"Hey, can I play?" He asked them.
"Sorry, but we already have 4 players." Ruby told him.
"Besides, this game requires a level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt you possess." Weiss spoke with an air of "I'm better than you".
"You attacked your own naval fleet two turns ago." Yang chimed in, causing a growl to erupt from the white haired heiress.
"Bring it on Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I've been told I'm a natural born leader!" Jaune stuck out his chest some with pride.
"Who told you that, your mom?"
"A-and Pyrrha," Pyrrha waved in their direction as she heard her name being said. "C'mon, let me just play your hand for a turn!" He pleaded.
"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo." She stated.
"You've trusted me with way more important stuff before." He defended himself. "I mean, you told us all that Blake here is secretly a f-" He was interrupted by Pyrrha appearing and slapping a hand over his mouth to silence him.
"A fun-loving person, whom we all admire and respect," She stated hurriedly with a nervous smile. Jaune had the decency to give an apologetic chuckle as he remembered they weren't alone in the library.
"Right, um, well, enjoy your game ladies." Jaune bowed. Sun chose that moment to appear at the table with his blue haired friend.
"Hi Blake, Yang, Ruby, Ice Queen," Sun greeted the girls.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?" Weiss wondered aloud. She was ignored though as Sun continued speaking.
"I never got the chance to introduce you to my good friend Neptune." Neptune raised a confused brow at them.
"Aren't libraries for reading?" He asked, earning a distant "Thank you!" from Ren.
"Shut up, don't be a nerd." Sun chastised the boy.
"Hey, intellectual," Neptune defended himself.
"So Neptune, where are you from?" Weiss asked, strangely interested in the newcomer.
"I'm from Haven." He walked over to her seat. "I don't believe I caught your name, Snow Angel."
"I'm Weiss." She introduced herself, much to Jaune's chagrin as he noticed that Neptune's flirtation advances were succeeding.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Neptune greeted her. On the other side of the table Sun addressed Blake.
"I never took you for the board game playing type, can I join?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm not. You can take my hand. See you guys later." Blake quickly left the table after she mumbled those words. Everyone in the room stared at her retreating form in surprise, not having much to say. Nora took this moment to fill the silence with a comment.
"Women,"
LINE BREAK
Sans lied awake in his dorm as he stared at the ceiling from his bed. His hands were behind his head and his legs were crossed as he found himself absorbed in his thoughts.
'Looks like it'll be another sleepless night for me, stinking nightmares…' He sighed. This was one of the rare times where one could find Sans's grin not present on his face. In its place was a rather downcast expression.
'I still don't even know why I'm here, or if I can even get back to home, or if there even is a home to get back to.' He looked up to the ceiling, a grin made its way back onto his face. 'The girls are planning somethin'. I can feel it. It might have somethin' to do with that fight at the docks, and that Torchwick guy.' He mused. His grin fell from his face, an irritated expression now present. 'Somebody's here that ain't supposed to be.' He looked to his door. 'They had better not try to kill anybody; I really don't wanna have to deal with that right now.'
Sans reached into his pillow and pulled out a tattered red scarf. 'I'm not really sure how this came with me, but I'm glad it did.' He grinned and brought the scarf closer to his face. 'It still has his scent, not that he had much of one anyway, being a skeleton and all.' He chuckled a bit.
'He always did smell like frozen spaghetti.'
LINE BREAK
The next school day for Sans moved incredibly slowly. Not that he paid any attention to his teachers on a regular basis, but it seemed even harder to do so today. His classes seemed to drag on until the end of the day when he finally was released to do as he pleased.
'Man, today was such a drag, more than usual. I should probably go restock on my ketchup. That always cheers me up.' He grinned a little wider at the thought as he set out to do just that. He knew just the guy to go to.
LINE BREAK
Yang and Neptune arrived at Junior's club and were currently asking him a series of questions as he stood behind the counter of the bar portion of his club. Though, the answers they received were less than favorable by Yang's standards.
"You know I don't like being lied to, Junior." Yang spoke as she placed her hands on the counter in an intimidating manner. "We'll have a problem on our hands if you aren't telling me the truth."
"I already told you what I know!" Junior defended himself. "Torchwick paid me so he could borrow some of my guys, then he told me he wasn't satisfied, which I can UNDERSTAND!" He addressed the last bit of his sentence to his men, making them attempt to busy themselves with something.
"And while you're here, can you work your magic and get rid of this guy over here? He's just been drinking up all of my ketchup and he hasn't left yet." Junior jabbed a thumb to the other end of the counter with an irritated expression.
"What?" Neptune and Yang asked in surprise. They looked to the end of the table and saw Sans sitting on a stool and drinking from a bottle of ketchup with a few empty ones around him. He was currently drinking from his fourth bottle. Yang decided to walk over and confront him.
"Sans? What are you doing here?" She asked him, doing nothing to keep her surprise from her voice. Sans slowly turned his head to look at her with half lidded eyes and a lazy grin.
"Sup, Yang? I heard yah come in, made a boom that yah did." He spoke almost sleepily.
"You sure you should be drinking that much ketchup?" Neptune asked him, looking queasy.
"Yah see people drinkin' alcohol all the time…and they're fine." Sans reasoned.
"No they're not, those people are called alcoholics." Neptune informed him. Sans's grin shifted a bit into a half smirk.
"Well…I'm not an alcoholic am I?" He asked back. Yang sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, Sans-" She was cut off by her scroll sending her a mass call.
"Hello, anyone?!" Blake's voice came in. She sounded as though she were in motion. We are being pursued at the moment and-" Blake's voice was cut off by another.
"HEEEELLP!" Sun yelled over her voice. Yang shared a look with Neptune before turning back to Sans.
"Sorry, but me and Neptune have gotta go, Sans." Yang spoke hurriedly.
"Sounds like it," Sans replied as he turned away from them and went back to his bottle. This only surprised Yang a small bit. She half expected him to demand to accompany them, or at least ask what was going on, but Sans didn't seem to care. Then again, this was Sans they were talking about. So with a nod she sprinted out of the building with Neptune in tow. They were soon gone.
"Hey, Junior, let me get another bottle of this stuff." Sans waved the empty bottle at Junior, making the man sigh as he retrieved another for him. He returned after a few moments with a new bottle and he handed it to the silver haired boy.
"Dude, you're gonna run me out of ketchup at this rate. Aren't you gonna pay for at least one bottle?" Junior asked. Sans graced him with a sidelong glance.
"I seem ta' recall savin' yer life once, and I also recall yah sayin' that yah owe me one. So I asked for all the ketchup I want." Sans chugged from the bottle after he finished speaking.
"If I'd known that you literally drank ketchup I would have never made that promise." Junior grunted in irritation. He then looked at Sans in slight concern. "Are you sure you can drink that much ketchup without, yah know, dying?"
"It'll take a lot more, than five bottles of ketchup ta' kill me." Sans grinned at Junior as he set the bottle down.
"Yeah, it'd probably take seven bottles," Junior laughed, prompting Sans to laugh alongside him. "But still, this is more than you usually drink, is something wrong with yah?" Sans expression drooped a bit but still held his grin.
"Thanks for askin', but I don't feel like talkin' about it…maybe the next time I come here I'll take yah up on that offer." Sans began to chug the bottle once more. Junior let out a groan at the teen's words.
"Ugh, that means you'll be coming back here again?" Sans only chuckled.
"Ah shuddup, you know yah love my company."
LINE BREAK
Team RWBY was currently battling the giant robot that Torchwick resided in. They had made great progress in their fight with it, taking off one of its arms, but it was still difficult to completely subdue, and they were beginning to tire.
Yang had managed to sneak up behind the mechanical monstrosity and was now currently unleashing a torrent of blows onto its back. The single remaining arm of the robot was unable to reach her, so Torchwick decided to improvise. Using the thrusters on the robot he flew backwards, smashing Yang's body through a couple pillars in the process. He stopped on a particularly sturdy pillar and turned around to face Yang as she peeled off the pillar and fell. Torchwick's intention was to strike her through the pillar with the robot's fist before she had the chance to fall to the ground.
Right before the fist connected with her she felt familiar arms wrap around her person, before she felt her body being quickly moved through the air. She was then set down in front of her team, who wore surprised expressions. Slightly disoriented, she turned to view who her savior was, though she was pretty sure she knew already.
"Sans?! What are you doing here?! How did you get here so fast?!" Ruby asked in alarm. Sans merely chuckled a bit as he wobbled slightly.
"Heya, Team RWBY, are you guys gonna," He sucked in a sharp and seemingly unwanted intake of breath, before letting out a burp that he covered with a fist. "Are you guys gonna make a habit, outta gettin' into trouble?" He asked. Blake took notice of his slightly impaired speech and his wobbly state.
"Are you alright to be out here?" She asked, concerned for him. He waved her off with a hand before turning back to the giant robot.
"I'm fine; I dunno what's goin' on though. Why're yah fightin' a robot?"
"Uh, well, Torchwick is inside of that thing." Yang said as though that explained everything.
"Well, that's a good enough reason, I guess." Sans let out another burp and grinned at the robot. "Yah know, if I was still nine years old, I'd be geekin' out, right now." He spoke. Weiss frowned at the robot.
"Why isn't he attacking us right now?" She asked. Torchwick seemed content with answering her himself.
"I'm a villain, Ice Queen, not a jackass." He spoke from within the robot, his voice slightly distorted. Sans suddenly snapped his fingers and grinned wide.
"Aw man, I just had an, awesome idea…I've always wanted to see somethin' like this." He turned his body halfway to look at the girls. "Trust me, you guys, are gonna, love this." He let out another burp before turning his eyes black. He turned back to Torchwick as a blue iris formed in his eye.
The head of the Gaster Blaster appeared first, and its eyes glowed blue. He then took one of his hands out of his pockets and then stuck it out towards the Gaster Blaster. His iris turned yellow as skeletal arms with 4 clawed fingers appeared next, followed by a ribcage, clawed legs, and a long spiky tail at the end of it. Sans's iris turned blue as he coated the creation in blue energy.
"Heh heh heh, I'm thinkin', 'bout callin' 'im 'GB', what'cha think?" He tilted his head back to look at Team RWBY's expressions. They were mostly that of awe and disbelief. He chuckled at them, before burping and turning back to Torchwick.
"Alright, GB, let's do this." He shoved his hand forward, and GB moved accordingly. GB's arms and legs bounded it across the ground as though it was moving of its own accord. Torchwick decided that now was as good a time as any to spring into action as he fired multiple missiles at GB and began to charge at the skeletal creation. GB tanked the missiles for the most part, as they only made it pause for a moment before it charged again. It met with Torchwick as the two began to clash.
"This is just…" Weiss began as she stared at the scene before her.
"Unbelievable…" Ruby finished for her as everyone else nodded in agreement.
Torchwick and GB were still battling as Torchwick used missiles and his remaining arm while GB only clawed at him. One particular swipe of GB's claws took off the giant robot's remaining arm. Sans grinned wider at the sight.
"Got yah," He spoke as GB opened its maw. A blue ball of condensed energy formed that quickly shot off towards the robot as a beam of unleashed power that tore through the metal easily. Torchwick's robot was soon destroyed as he tumbled out of it and to the ground.
Team RWBY took that chance to fire off rounds of dust at him from where he struggled to quickly get off of the ground. The attacks met his location, causing a cloud of smoke to rise after an explosion. When the dust cleared a girl with pink and black hair stood in front of the man, revealing that she stopped the attack with her pink umbrella.
"Thanks for the assist Neo." He spoke to the girl before turning his attention back to his adversaries. "While it's certainly been fun battling with you I do believe it's about time I take my leave. Neo, if you will." He tipped his hat to everyone as Yang charged at them with a fist raised. She attacked them, but they fell to pieces much like glass would, indicating that they escaped via illusion.
"Well, it looks like he got a new henchman." Yang grunted with a frown. Weiss came up behind her.
"Yes, it seems she really made our plans fall apart." She smiled at her own pun, but the rest of her team groaned at her. "What? I thought the situation called for one." She defended herself.
"There's a time and a place Weiss." Yang told her as she walked away.
"Was this not it?"
"No, it just wasn't good."
"At least yah tried." Sans spoke up as he placed a hand on her shoulder. GB was nowhere to be seen.
"Ah yes, Sans, would you mind telling me WHAT IN REMNANT WAS THAT?" Weiss asked/yelled.
"Yeah, because THAT WAS AWESOME!" Ruby gushed.
"Yeah, that was pretty freaking cool." Yang agreed.
"It was certainly interesting." Blake quietly decided to add in her opinion. Weiss sighed.
"Yes, it was quite the awe inspiring technique but what was it? And how did you know we were here for that matter?"
"Well, I found you guys, from all the noise you were makin'." He burped; he looked a little green at the moment.
"Are you alright there Sans?" Ruby asked him. Sans pulled out a brown bag from his pocket.
"Not really, all that jostlin' around, didn't seem like it was a good-" He then cut himself off as he vomited into the bag, much to the disgust of the girls.
"Ugh, I knew I should'a stopped at six bottles, but I just had to go for lucky number seven." Sans groaned.
"I told you that drinking all of that ketchup was a terrible idea!" Yang said. Sans put a hand to his stomach as he gave her a weak grin.
"…seems like, you were right. Can we just go back, to the school now?"
A/N: Not dead guys. It seems that during my time of writing this fanfiction some of you all have become impatient, and can't wait for updates. So, maybe I should lower your expectations, that way you guys would be SUPER happy when I decide to update two chapters in rapid succession.
Not exactly proud of the chapter here, but it's something at least. I'm not exactly well versed in either of these franchises but for some reason I had the psychotic idea to write a fanfiction with both of them. *sigh*
How'd you like GB? I decided to put him in there last minute. It's every 9 year old boy's dream to see a giant robot fighting a giant monster. Well, it was my dream at least.
Anyway, tell me how much you hated the chapter and how awful it was in a review or PM. Jk, just tell me what you thought about it.
I can't really think of anything else to say at this time, I stayed up a while doing this. So I guess that's all.
Buh-bye!
