***Hello, everyone! I'll give you this reasoning behind this story: music is a great inspiration. Anyways, Undyne belongs to Toby Fox, everyone else who's kind of an extra belongs to me, and let's go!

Chapter One: A New Recruit

One only had to be nineteen to join the Royal Guard. Every five years, a new recruitment was sent out across the Underground for anyone who wanted to join. It was right after Undyne's twentieth birthday when the recruitment call came.

And she was raring to go.

XxX

It was a long walk to the castle. Undyne steeled her nerves and pulled her hair back with her black hair back with her black hair band. Then, she walked to the Guards at the door.

"Who are you?" the one on the left asked.

"Undyne Undying. I'm here to join the Royal Guard training," Undyne said. She couldn't help but notice that the guards were both taller and more muscular than her. Then again, it wasn't like she had access to a gym where she lived.

"A girl, huh?" the guard on the right asked. He punched Undyne on the shoulder. The blow caused her to take a step back, but she came back.

"Inside. The recruits are all at the throne room. And by the way," the right guard said, smirking, "don't call it quits when you break a nail."

XxX

Undyne found herself to be the only girl there. Also that she was the shortest, and the least muscular by appearance. Still, she walked in confidently.

Do it for her... do it for her... she repeated in her head like a mantra.

"Attention!"

She and everyone else moved to stand stiff and straight, shoulder to shoulder in line. In front of them, in silver armor, was the Captain of the Royal Guard. He was a wolf monster, with gray fur and a hardened expression. "So... you all think you have what it takes to be in the king's army?" he asked.

There were a few nods across the line.

"Alright. From this point on, you will refer to me only as Captain Graystone. Am I understood?" Captain Graystone asked. There were more nods. Then, he noticed something.

"We've never had a female among our ranks before," he commented.

"How much you willing to be she leaves in an hour?" a voice on the left asked. "I'd be shocked if she lasted that long," a voice to the right commented.

Undyne felt her temper flare a bit.

"What's your name?" Captain Graystone asked. "Undyne. I'm here to join the Guard, just as the rest of you are," Undyne said.

"Well, then," Captain Graystone said, amused, "let's see what these recruits can do."

XxX

"First, we do basic tests. You can't begin Guard training until I know what you as yourself can do. As you can see, I have these training Dummies for you. They're Mad Dummies, so fight them with your best ability," Captain Graystone said. He'd lead the hopeful cadets to an open field, filled with Mad Dummies.

"We don't get paid enough for this!" one barked. "We didn't volunteer for this!" another objected.

"Summon your weapon of choice!" Captain Graystone ordered. Everyone went to a Dummy. Undyne summoned a spear, twirling it in her hand.

Just... sexism from a bunch of punks. Prove you're as strong as them, she thought. But something took her legs out from beneath her, and she fell right onto the ground.

"Off the ground!" Captain Graystone snapped.

Undyne got up, but she couldn't help notice the monster with a bow staff and a smile on his face.

***And this is what I have for the start of a story. Why I get so many ideas for new stories before I actually have to take big exams is beyond me. Anyways, be sure to leave a review on the way out, I'll see you all in the next one! Bye!
