Au - A Little Under the Weather (My Au)
In this Au Sabre is much weaker than the weakest of Steves, because he is a Player. But when the Steves find out that Sabre actually has a condition that makes him even weaker and prone to sickness they flip out a little bit.

Context - Sabre was out and about outside of the Rainbow kingdom when a downpour starts. Sabre gets caught in it in the middle of the night while getting lost trying to return home.

———————————————————————————

     Why is everything blurry? And why am I so cold? Last thing I remember I was running through the rain... why was I running? I should keep running... when did I fall on the ground? Oh well, the ground is much more comforting and warm then trying to continue to run through the rain in the middle of the night. I'm just going to take a short nap....

     It's been over seven hours since Sabre was supposed to get home and five hours since the storm started.

     The Leaders and Light had all already sent out multiple search parties to go and look for Sabre. All have come back empty handed.

     "Leaders, Light I have come to give my report." The six leaders and Light turn their attention towards the Colorless Guard. They were all in varying levels of stress, fear, and worry. The worst of them were probably Light and the Yellow and Orange Leaders.

     "Give your report and understand that if it's anything other than you know where Sabre is, prepare for me to go out on my own." Normally the other Leaders would correct the Yellow Leader, but they all shared that sentiment with him.

     The Guard now nervous from the suffocating air of negative emotions, now pointed at him, does his best to explain to the Leaders.

     "Not exactly..." All the leaders were glaring at him, even Violet was showing hatred rather than love. Even though the Guard knows that their emotions are not his fault and that there not completely pointed that him, it's still terrifying.

     "The forest keeps changing every time we enter. Eventually spitting us back out after we reach a certain point. So I thought, maybe there is a person behind this. So I threw an empty book past the point we can't go past. Only for it to be thrown right back to me only a few minutes later, with writing in it...."

     The Guard gives a book that has been written in with a strange substance that looks like ink but isn't, over to Light. Who quickly took the book from him and read it out loud so the Leaders could hear.

     "I only trust the following people with Sabre: Rainbow, Light, The Leaders, Time and Elemental, and M. And so they will be the only ones to find him."

     Everyone collectively winces at the mention of their passed on friend but manage to turn their attention back to the task at hand.

     "I guess now we know why the forest has been rejecting everyone who enters." Green Leader stated, but wonders who would have enough power to do that. While Light and the Yellow Leader who have been making eye contact, unblinking, until now stand up and both walk towards the exit of the meeting room.

     "Where are you two going?" Orange asks the pair. "We're going to go get Sabre. I'm right below the Yellow Leader when it comes to speed. And being the two fastest we're the best suited to get Sabre in and out of there as quickly as possible. We just have to hope he's still okay when we get there." And with that they were swiftly off to the forest that Sabres in.

     Light and the Yellow Leader are both standing in front of the barrier that was keeping everyone else out. And they stepped through both panicking at the sight that greats their eyes. The rain is only a drizzle now as the soaked through Sabre lies unconscious one the ground.

     "Crap..." The Yellow Leader and Light run over to Sabre at the speed of sound, trying to take his temperature.

     "He has an extremely high fever, Yellow you're faster than me so take Sabre and run to the kingdom as quickly as possible. He needs immediate treatment."

     Light didn't even finish what he was saying because Yellow picks up Sabre bridle style. Running him to the Rainbow Kingdom where he'll be safe and sound.

     "It will all be ok soon Sabre, you'll be in a nice warm shelter before you know it and you're going to be okay...." Yellow held Sabre tighter to his chest to keep too much of the wind from making Sabre any worse than he already is. Running as fast as he can so he can make sure that Sabre gets to shelter in no time.
