Battle: Sans vs. Frisk (Pacifist) Scene: You dimly lit underground cavern, the air thick with tension as the two characters stand ready to engage in battle. The sound of dripping water echoes around them as Sans cracks his knuckles, a grin plastered on his skull. Frisk, a small child with determination in their eyes, stands on the other side. Frisk grips a worn-out stick and looks prepared to negotiate rather than fight. --- Sans: "Hey there, kid. You sure you want to dance with me? You know what they say... just one little hit from behind, and it’s game over." Frisk: (staring blankly, murmuring) "...?" Sans: "Guess that’s a ‘no.’ But you know, I've been around a long time. Let me show you what I can do." Suddenly, Sans summons a wall of bones, the serrated edges glistening ominously in the dark. Frisk: (defensively) "I... I won’t fight you!" Sans lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. Sans: "That’s cute. But let’s see if you can handle this." With a swift flick of his wrist, Sans launches a bone at Frisk, but with a surprisingly nimble dodge, Frisk avoids the attack. Sans: "Nice reflexes for such a tiny human. But can you dodge this?" Sans begins his barrage of bone attacks, launching projectiles that zigzag towards Frisk. With clever maneuvers, Frisk manages to dodge, each narrow escape getting the better of Sans’s confident demeanor. Frisk: "I won’t hit you. We can spare! Please understand!" Sans: (growing slightly frustrated) "Spare? Not everyone can share the same sentiment, kid. You think that’ll save you? Or maybe you’ll just end up like the last few who tried to fight me.” As Sans continues to attack, Frisk’s resolve hardens amidst the flurry of bone assaults. They realize that while they can't harm Sans, they can use their skills to change the course of the battle. Frisk: (determined) "I won’t fight, but I can ACT!" Frisk steps forward, their tiny hand holding the stick high, focusing on their ability to ACT instead of attacking. They perform a series of small gestures; each interaction making Sans halt momentarily. Sans: "What are you doing? This isn't how you beat me!" Frisk: "...I just want you to know there’s another way!" As each turn passes, the intensity of Sans’s attacks slowly fades as frustration sets in. Frisk continues to ACT, drawing closer with each turn. Sans: (finally narrowing his eyes, a slight smile) "Okay, kid. I’ll give you this: You’re persistent. But patience isn’t my strong suit... It’s time for me to go full phase two." With a sudden change, Sans's demeanor shifts. He unleashes his Last Breath, glowing with energy as he summons powerful bone attacks that swirl menacingly, creating a more dangerous battlefield. Frisk: (voice steady) "You can keep fighting or... we can spare each other." Even in the intensity of battle, Frisk holds out their hand, almost inviting Sans into a different kind of duel. Each time Sans strikes, Frisk makes sure to keep dodging, waiting for the right moment. Sans: "What's this? You think you can stand here after all this? You really are making me think twice now." Finally, Sans hesitates. Frisk, with their innocent but firm spirit, speaks directly from their heart. Frisk: "I believe we can find a path without attack. You’re not just a foe. You feel alone, right? We can choose peace!" In that moment, something shifts. Sans, recalling memories of past encounters, starts to see the truth in Frisk’s words—their unwavering determination to spare, to connect, instead of fight. He lowers his skeletal hands, a contemplative look crossing his empty eye sockets. Sans: "You really think that could happen... Don't you?" The air grows tense, the forces of actions mixing with the power of mercy. As the reality of the battle settles in, Sans finally closes his eyes and nods slowly. Sans: "Alright, you’ve got me, kid. I spare you... but only because you're persistent." Frisk smiles brightly, letting go of their stick, as a light envelops the scene—a safe passage born from their unwavering approach. --- Winner: Frisk (Pacifist) Frisk ultimately won not through violence, but through their ability to ACT and demonstrate mercy, leading Sans to recognize the value of peace over combat. By convincing Sans to spare them, they showcased the strength of compassion and understanding, transforming the fight into a true victory for their ideals.
