Undyne's feelings about leaving Jeremy behind were very mixed. Of course, without him she was much faster on her horse, she would reach this Coruscant place sooner and take on that flower without him to worry about - with all honestly, he was a MTT-Brand Burger Emporium employee, not a fighter, and would have held her back more than helped her in the fight. But at the same time, he had been nice company, and now she was alone on the road once again. And she had been able to get some of his cynic, pessimistic outlook on life beaten out of him. She could only hope that he didn't fall back to his old ways in her absence. Because if he did... well, her threat of beating him up wasn't an empty one. She held her promises.
Swiftly, her horse left Ambrosia behind, while Undyne summoned her armor back onto her body - except for the helmet, which she had appear into her hand, and put on manually. She wished she had thought of doing that before departing. The dramatic gesture would have been a lot better if there had been people to witness it. She felt more comfortable riding through this dense forest, even if there was a good path, with some protection on. Since it was unknown territory and Jeremy and her had encountered bandits on their way here, why might that not be the case on the way back too? She thought back to the group she had killed on their way here, with Jeremy hiding. Yes, it had been a good idea not to bring him along. The fight she was headed towards would be far more dangerous than the one he had seen.
... no, she'd better not think of that for now. She had to focus on the road ahead.
And as if the Tangled Green was mocking Undyne, behind the next turn she spotted the now rotting remains of her previous battle: the spots of blood soaking the ground, the broken arrow on the ground and the weapons. Well, not all of them. The axe and the bow and arrow were missing, apparently those had been found and been taken away by someone. But the sword belonging to the bandit leader still was where she had left it when she checked, hidden among a few bushes where it had fallen. Hmm... she grasped it by the hilt, shook off the dirt and leaves that had gathered on top of it and gave it a tentative swing. Come to think of it, why not? She remembered the anime characters wielding enormous swords, up to five times the size of their own body, and using it to slay mighty foes. Swords in general were something seen frequently in anime. This one was no katana, but perhaps with the same powers that she had conjured her armor with she would be able to turn this measly toothpick into a blade worthy of a Knight of King Asgore? If nothing else, it would make for a fabulous tool to chop that flower down to size.
She climbed back onto her horse, placed the sword across her lap and held it by its handle as she began to focus. Let's see how big five times her own size was... if it was too big she'd just have to go adjusting it downwards in steps, to find a sweet spot. It would be a nice distraction while she let her mount find its way back to that white expanse.
