A/N: HEY, look at me! Totally alive and everything!
Alright look, before you guys decide to throw anything, I want you to hear me out.
Life sucks right? I'm sure we are all aware. It's been REAL hard to juggle things in my normal life not including fanfiction. I started to feel obligated and lose interest after a while. Hell, I didn't even check the messages you guys sent me. While I do love you all and appreciate how you haven't given up on me yet, it was just crushing me to look at them earlier today.
I hate letting people down.
But I had lost my groove from being inactive for so long. So, it's gonna be kinda hard to get it back you know?
I think I'm rambling, cuz when I look back at the paragraph above I don't understand what I was trying to say…It's hard to get my thoughts in order…
Any who, I'm gonna try my best to update ALL of my stories, and not just this one, so be on the lookout for that too.
I would reply to some of the reviews I received, but there's a WHOLE LOT and I'm running out of time.
Anyway, I won't bore you any longer. So without further a doo-doo,
Enjoy!
Sans lazed around in his bathroom mirror wearing only his shorts as he shook off the last of the small 'hangover' that he experienced. He realized that he was late to class, but he didn't care,
'I never thought that you could have too much of something so wonderful.' Sans sighed. 'This human body has such limitations.' He clenched his fist and stared at it for moment. 'Even so, human bodies were built to push pass limitations. I'm able to become stronger than I was as a skeleton.' He grinned to himself as he flexed a muscle in his arm.
Sans then frowned again and dropped his grin. 'I'm still no closer to finding out why I'm here than I was when I first showed up.' He put on one of his many basic white shirts, and his new pair of flip flops. 'It's not like I ain't been searching around for answers, but that ain't as easy as it seems, especially since now I'm in a school, a weird one at that.' He slipped on his jacket and stuffed his hands into the pockets as he exited his dorm room.
'Eh, I ain't in a rush though.'
LINE BREAK
Pyrrha let out a breath after she had just defeated Cardin's team. She had decided to take Sans' idea when she battled the lot of them. She had been looking to spar with him ever since witnessing his fight with team RWBY. They had that food fight, but she didn't really think that counted as a spar, since they were mostly playing around (that was debatable in Yang's case near the end). Her attempts at asking him never went very well though…
FLASH BACK START
Sans had been wandering around the Beacon, seemingly aimlessly when Pyrrha approached. She had a slightly hopeful look on her face as she proposed her offer.
"Sans, would you care to indulge me in a spar?"
"Nah I'm good."
LINE BREAK
Her first attempt didn't seem to work, so she had decided to go for a more, subtle, approach.
Pyrrha caught up to Sans after their class with Professor Port ended. He grinned as he turned to her in greeting.
"Yo, yah need somethin' Pyrrha?" He asked. She smiled as she proposed her question.
"Yes, I've been struggling with training lately and was wondering if you could assist me in a session after school?"
"Isn't that what your teammates are for?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "You and Jaune get along pretty well, he could help." Pyrrha blushed a bit at that, before closing her eyes and shaking her head.
"Well, yes, but-" She cut herself off as she noticed he was gone.
LINE BREAK
Okay, this was getting a little frustrating, but her next plan was foolproof! She grinned as she set up her trap.
She had left a bottle of ketchup in a clearing with a small fan next to it to blow the scent into the air. She hid in a nearby bush while going over her plan.
"Alright, I'll use the ketchup to lure Sans into this clearing used for training. When he shows up, as I know he will, I will emerge from my hiding spot and demand a serious sparring session from him. I will initiate it, forcing him to defend himself until he fights back. It may be a little extreme, but such things have become necessary." She let out a round of near-crazed laughter.
"So whatcha over here plottin'?" A voice sounded from behind her. Take a wild guess.
Needless to say, the shriek that erupted from Pyrrha after that could be heard from all over beacon.
"OH NO! Jaune's in trouble! C'mon guys we gotta save him!"
"THAT WASN'T ME!"
FLASH BACK END
Pyrrha admitted that she went a bit far with the last one, but she was getting a little desperate. She didn't know why, but she felt the need to test herself against Sans, even though she was sure that she would most likely lose should he decide to fight her. She couldn't quite help it.
"Well done Ms. Nikos, you should have no problem applying for the tournament." Ms. Goodwitch congratulated the girl, who only gave a nod and a small smile in acknowledgement. "Alright," Ms. Goodwitch continued. "We have time for one more sparring match, are there any volunteers?" She asked the class.
A gray-haired boy in the audience raised his hand. "I'll do it." He offered.
Ms. Goodwitch squinted at the boy then toward her scroll. "Ah yes, Mercury. Well then, let's find you an opponent."
"Actually," He began, causing the woman to look up from her scroll. "I want to fight her." He spoke, pointing towards Pyrrha.
"Me?" Pyrrha was a little surprised, but Ms. Goodwitch wasn't having any of it.
"Ms. Nikos has just finished a match, so I'm afraid that you must-" Pyrrha cut her off mid-statement though.
"I'm fine. I can go another round." She smiled politely. 'Unlike some people, I actually accept requests from fellow students.' Pyrrha thought to herself only slightly bitterly.
Ms. Goodwitch sighed at the girl, but relented. "Very well then, you have five minutes to ready yourselves."
LINE BREAK
Mercury had been in the locker room 'getting himself ready'. This involved putting on a duplicate of his shirt and…nothing else.
He had been about to leave, when he felt a disturbing presence. Mercury whirled around to find…nothing. He stared for a few seconds and then relaxed while letting out a hum. As he turned to leave he let out a small yelp when he saw that Sans blocked his path.
"Yo, heard you were about to fight Pyrrha huh?" Sans stared at him with a lopsided grin. Mercury couldn't quite bring himself to speak as he was too shocked at the mere presence of Sans.
'What's he doing here?!' The boy internally yelled. Sans noticed his discomfort and grinned a little wider.
"Heh, what, didn't expect me to be a student?" He asked, before his expression dropped a little. "Alright listen, I ain't gonna beat around the bush, I can tell you and your little buddies have got somethin' planned. I'm pretty sure that green haired girl is with yah, and the two of you can't be dumb enough to start something on your own, so you must have a couple of more dudes with yah." Sans shrugged his shoulders in the 'what can you do?' position and closed his eyes.
"I ain't gonna outright just end all of you here, 'cause you'd already be dead if that was the case. You've got the option to quit while you're ahead, but it won't stay for long." Sans shoved his hands into his pockets and opened his eyelids to reveal completely black eyes. He started to omit an oppressive aura that caused Mercury to slightly wobble where he stood. The pressure increased to a point where it was a struggle for him just to stand.
"This is a message to the lot of yah. You might not wanna continue down this road, 'cause you're not gonna like what's at the end of it."
A/N: Alright that's it for now.
Sorry for such a short chapter, but it ain't quite easy to just jump into writing, it's kinda hard actually.
Any who tell me how awful the story is via review or PM. You can also use those to rage at me about my absence.
Can't think of anything else to say, so, until next time,
Buh-bye!
