At the moment, the girls were sleeping, all getting ready for their first day of actual work. Sans was having a dream that she had been having for as long as she could remember. It would always take place in adifferent setting and with different people, but it was always the same plot. There would always be a murderer , and at the beginning she would find the murderer, capture him and become the hero of her own world, but then the dream would start over. She would have a weapon in hand and have no control of her body. She would kill everyone.

But today was different. Her body walked towards the first person, but as she was about to slash through them, they turned around, revealing a faceless figure. She suddenly got control of her body again and was transported into a world of black. She looked around her and saw nothing. There was a black liquid covering the floor. She ran forwards, hoping to find something. After a good few minutes of running, the liquid drained from underneath her and gathered in front of her.

It gained a human outline and slowly took shape. It looked like Sans, but.... not? It had Sans demon hands and what looked like talons for feet. Its joints had two, red spikes on them. Its body was covered with inky black scales, some kept melting off, but were quickly replaced. It had a red, rhombus shaped gem on its chest.

It's eyes were rolled back into its head and it wore a murderous smile. It had horns similar to Sans but black and her hair was red and floating above her head. Sans tried to step away, but it zoomed towards her until it was inches from her face. It grabbed her face with its cold, red claws. The scar on her eye opened to reveal a mouth.

"Hello there." It said in a raspy voice and Sans quickly punched its eye, but it already turned into an inky black puddle again. Suddenly, she woke up in a cold sweat. Vortex and Mimu were hovering over her. Sans quickly sat up and accidentally head butted them.

"Wah, what happened?" Asked Sans.

"You, you were shaking and muttering, when suddenly your eyes opened, rolled into the back of your head, and you smiled." Replied Mimu. Sans suddenly felt a jolting pain in her eye. She lifted her hand to touch it and realized that she had her demon hands. She quickly unsummoned them and looked at Vortex for explanation.

"You summoned them and punched your eye." She said. Sans looked at her hands and trembled. Suddenly, she realized something.

"Wait, why're you here." Asked Sans.

"We were here to get you up for your first mission, but by the looks of you maybe-"

"No, I'll, I'll be fine." She muttered in reply to Mimu.

"Ok, well we're going to wake up Erza, you can get dressed and eat some breakfast." Said Vortex as they walked out of the room. Sans stood up, weak from fear. She put on her usual sweater and shorts and put her hair in a messy ponytail. She headed for the kitchen and munched on a piece of bread. Soon, Tamashi and Erza came along and and ate.

"I sure hope we all rested well!" Said Tamashi, meaning to bring enthusiasm to the table. Until he noticed Sans black eye, he quickly stared at his toast.

"Decently." Replied Erza, not even noticing. Sans gave a quick nod and stared at her bread. After they were all done, Erza pulled out the flyer and looked at where they needed to be. Vortex took a look to.

"Hey that place is close to the mountains I lived in." Said Vortex in regards to the location. They left a little note for Isa for when she woke up. In a snap, they were there, Erza learned to summon a sort of lightning bird and flew along side everyone. It was a tiny little village nestled on the other side of Vortexs cave, between the mountains. They approached a tall, stone gate.

"State your business." Exclaimed a human from a watchtower above.

"We're here about your, err, rat problem." Stated Sans. The gates suddenly opened. The town seemed to be deserted. They took three steps in and the gates suddenly slammed. They heard a loud screeching sound and suddenly three rats came out of the shadows. They had red eyes, patches of grey fur, and six arms. Sans roasted one with a wave of fire while Tamashi turned the other to stone and Erza and Vortex punched one on the face. Mimu watched from the shadows. The rats began to retreat.

"Great job team!" Said Mimu.

"Something doesn't feel right." Replied Vortex.

"Nah we totally defeated them." Said Sans, when suddenly a rumbling came through the ground. Ahead was a cloud of smoke approaching them. As it came closer, they realized it was a stampede of rats.

"This is what I would call bad." Said Mimu, backing away towards the gate. Sans looked at the stampede.

"Send a wave of fire!" Shouted Niki in her head, when suddenly another voice interfered.

"Ground pound." It said. It was the same voice of the thing in her dream. For a split second, she lost control, summoned her demon hands, and smashed the ground underneath her. It sent a pulse of black towards the rats. The cracks between the cobblestone road filled with black when suddenly, sharp, black spikes emerged from under the rats. The spikes pierced through the first line of them.

The spikes then formed into a humongous fist and pounded the ground, sending the rats into the air. Sans looked at her hands, her mouth agape. The rest of them went after the rats.i

"It's our job to save the town, not destroy it!" Shouted Vortex at Sans, considering she had left craters in the road. Sans nodded and ran at the rats. Erza summoned her lighting bird and struck them all down with multiple, yellow bolts of lightning. Vortex knocked them off of their feet with a gust of wind. With that, Erza summoned a giant with pale blue skin, rocky skin, and brown overalls. It scooped up the rats, pounded them into a ball, and threw them into the distance.

The giant smiled at them and waved goodbye as Erza unsummoned him. The humans in the houses looked out the window and squinted at the sunlight. A chubby man with a grey moustache, a suit and a top hat stepped out.

"Thank you, oh thank you-thank you-thank you!" Said the man in a booming voice as he shook each of their hands.

"Here's your pay!" He said and handed them each a small sack full of gold.

"But, we'll be taking some of it to pay for repairs!" He said, still smiling as he plucked Sans bag of gold out of her hands. Sans sighed, knowing she deserved it.

"Don't worry Sans, I'll share with you!" Said Tamashi. The others winced at his kindness and stuffed their gold in any pocket they had before they thought of joining.
