Hope,Determination and Kindness

Thump!

The sound sent shivers through her body. It wasn't like she knew directly who the sound came from but she could guess. A look to the right. Yep. There was silence before...

"Yo! That's Undyne!" Kid shouted before Scootaloo blocked his mouth with a hoof. She motioned to them, pointing to the tall grass. It was their safest bet. She looked to her right, Undyne was in deep conversation with someone very... familiar.

When in the tall grass, the conversation became clearer. The second person was clearer too...

"BUT UNDYNE, THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO DIE! THEY ARE FAR TOO KIND!" It was Papyrus talking to who she assumed was Undyne from Kid's outburst.

"Exactly! They say they're your friends and then shiv you in your sleep! You can't trust those ruthless ponies!"

"APPLE BLOOM, SWEETIE BELLE AND SCOOTALOO ARE NOT RUTHLESS! THEY ARE MY FRIENDS AND YOU WILL NOT HARM THEM!"

"And who are you to boss me around?! This is exactly why I'll never send you to battle!"

"AHA! I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT MY CAPABILITIES BUT YOUR SELFISHNESS THAT DIDN'T GET ME INTO THE ROYAL GUARD!"

"Papyrus! I didn't mean! I mean... Uhh! Why! I ought to!!" Something known to many was that young and even older unicorns would sometimes experience magical surges linked to their emotions. Depending on the emotion and situation they are in, their magic will react in different ways. Sometimes the unknown to a unicorn was a dangerous thing as they would panic much easily.

Such a thing happened. When Sweetie heard Undyne say that she heard a threat. This made her panic as she didn't want Papy hurt. She didn't see what was going on and didn't know their relationship as best friends. That... that made it worse...

Her magic reacted to her stress. In a split second she leaned out from the grass, earning herself shocked cries from all around. Her magic fired and Undyne had to dodge what had formed from the magic... Knives... She had thrown knives at her opponent. It didn't comprehend. Why? Why had she created and thrown knives whilst under pressure? She wasn't a violent pony, so why?!

Undyne stepped forward, towards the shocked Sweetie and her friends. Her foot came crashing down... Crack!

The sound startled her. It was the sound of something cracking, something very peculiar. She had heard the sound once before, in the moment of her death as some of Papyrus' attacks snapped her bones. Bones cracking. She looked at the scene in shock, confused even more as Undyne jumped an inch at the sound. Composing herself quickly Undyne whirled around, checking every corner of the underground tunnel.

Perhaps she was checking for witnesses? No. The true terror that had gripped this apparently fearless heroine was evident in the way she kept looking around, even after she was sure the coast was clear. What was she searching for? The being that had placed that bone? But that was surely Papyrus' doing... right?

The skeleton himself approached what was remaining of the bone with curiosity, bringing it to eye level and examining it thoroughly. He ignored Undyne, not seeing the state his idol was in. He turned the cracked pieces in his hands before scratching his head.

"CURIOUS INDEED... THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY ATTACKS! I DO NOT USE THESE BONES IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM! IN FACT, I CANNOT RECALL ANYONE WHO REALLY WOULD BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE ELSE USE BONE ATTACKS IN GENERAL, INCLUDING MY BROTHER!"

"So... it's not yours? Then... where did it come from?" Scootaloo asked as she too peeked out from the grass, however Kid was still being held. This time by Bloom. The two remained concealed.

"I HAVE NO CLUE SCOOTALOO HOWEVER I WILL MOST CERTAINLY ASK SANS IF HUMERUS BONES ARE PART OF HIS ATTACKS!"

"With how 'humerus' and 'punny' he behaves I definitely would put it past him." Scootaloo said in an almost deadpan voice as if it was the most obvious thing. Everyone groaned at how bad it was. Papyrus shouted before stomping off muttering about bad role models under his breath. Undyne stopped looking around and backed into the shadows leaving them alone. Silence followed as Sweetie still tried to understand the knives.

"Why? Why did you say that Scoots?" Apple Bloom asked angrily glaring at Scootaloo. Scoots on the other hoof shrugged it off and instead answered.

"It's in my bones."
