A Murder of Crows (Nightmare Gang Sanses Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: When you mess with gods...

Nightmare seemed VERY pleased with his new plan to seize the infamous AU of gods, and the news even caused Dust and Error to look up in slight surprise. Typically Nightmare was not nearly ballsy enough to try and seize a majorly strong AU, but rather a knockoff or a weak place. Cross and Killer seemed unfazed as always, and Horror tilted his skull in intrigue. Everyone was surprised by the risk Nightmare was taking, but they also knew that succession would mean a large load of LEGITIMATE fear from the multiverse. 

Dust though immediately knew what to say and without warning spat, "Uh, Nightmare? You realize that would mean taking on the gods of DEATH right? The Sans and Pap of that AU are known to be fucking overpowered, and the chances of beating them are shittier than your bad attitude." Error lowly chuckled at the roast, and Dust smiled in triumph of the defiance. Even Cross struggled to hold back a quick giggle. As if Nightmare had just been lit by a match of rage, he used his tentacles to grab Dust quickly. The hooded skeleton barely reacted, but he did realize that in order to avoid a beating later, he'd need to think fast. Dust quickly recoiled saying, "Woah Nightmare, I meant WITHOUT leading us first, you wouldn't be able to take down the boneheads." 

Nightmare growled lowly, seeming to miraculously accept the comeback Dust gave simply out of his good mood. He slowly dropped Dust and then turned away sneering, "Just get ready, all of you. We're leaving in the next ten minutes. If any of you fail to comply, I'll RIP YOU APART." With that, the dark lord melted into a puddle and disappeared. 

Dust muttered low cusses, ignoring Error and Horror laughing their asses off. It was time to get ready anyways and dealing with this at the moment was pointless. As one could clearly see, the gang was not very friendly to each other and interactions between them varied from teasing to beating the shit out of each other. Dust didn't want to tassel with that. Not yet.

~AFTER EVERYONE IS READY BECAUSE I'M NOT A PERV AND I DON'T WANNA DESCRIBE THESE GUYS GETTING DRESSED~

Nightmare stood ready at the front of his castle, his dark guards cowering behind him. Cross slowly came up behind him, his black and white armor fitted and set. He also had his silver sword grasped in-hand. It flashed through his mind to kill Nightmare here, but it was just a thought. Cross had tried once before when he'd first joined the gang, and results had been painful. Cross knew that even though he could hold his own against Nightmare, the dark one's sheer size, cruelty, and skill made him an obstacle not worth fighting. So Cross just glared softly, keeping his composure. Nightmare smirked softly, knowing exactly what Cross was thinking. Cross was definitely one of the members of the gang that Nightmare always needed to remain VERY vigilant around, seeing as if he snapped, Cross clearly would be the one to attack or get reckless first. 'You're a tricky one indeed Cross.' 

The rest of the gang slowly came outside one by one until everyone was waiting for Nightmare's first orders. They were all clever for the most part, but Nightmare was the one who would go out of his way to decide things. Why bother planning when he could for you after all? So Nightmare slowly let his tentacles wind around his teammates and they all melted into darkness with their leader. 

The gang was brought to Reapertale, and they all immediately felt a sense of intimidation. This AU had powerful monsters such as Undyne, Papyrus, and Sans. Nightmare knew that taking out the Papyrus would be easier as long as he didn't let his group mess up and alert the Pap of their threat. However, the Undyne would prove far more difficult and the Sans would be a huge problem too. 

Nightmare quickly concluded a plan, and sent Dust, Cross, and Error to seek out Undyne and pull her out of the picture. As for himself and Killer, He planned to find the Sans quickly. And Horror just went off to go kill some innocents and get rid of the Papyrus. Nightmare really had nothing better for him to do, so why not.

Everyone went off to go complete their part of their mission and begin the AU takeover, seeing as this AU was highly valuable in a step towards the multiverse domination. 

((From here on out, Nightmare and Killer's group will be referred to as the Dark Team, and Error, Dust, and Cross will be referred to as the Dumb Fucks. And Horror is just Horror.))

-Following the Dumb Fucks XD-

Cross led the way towards the land of Waterfall in which Undyne would most likely be found, whilst Dust boredly followed, and Error trailed behind leaving destruction clear in his wake. While Cross just saw this as another mission to complete, Dust saw this as more of a chance to get out, despite everything other than the murder and plundering being VERY boring. Dust was less lazy than his normal counterpart Classic Sans, but he was still terrible at being motivated at anything other than murder, so Nightmare constantly wanted him out of the castle and building a name for the Nightmare gang. After all, the last thing wanted in the gang was  lazy useless lugs with only half a sense to kill.

Error explored the path Cross took with Dust, not really caring what the two had to say about it. He liked Waterfall for its calm, quiet nature in most AUs, so having to destroy it first was often a bummer. Still, Error had no sense to complain since he loved his job of silencing the world and bringing peace to his everlasting anxiety and insanity. Once the voices and him were the only ones left, Error planned to happily let himself melt away into the void, and that would be that. Destruction always came with that promise, and that always made Error very happy.

Cross eventually came to the first meeting place of Undyne, and sure enough she stood high above with pride puffed out in her chest, and a clear sense of confusion and fear as to why so many Sanses were appearing before her. The current Sans of her world was already enough of a threat.

"State your business here skeletons. Why do you dare seek I, the goddess of war itself? Do you possess evil wills, or good souls?"

The fish's voice rang high into the star-covered ceilings above, and she clearly seemed to make it clear that she was someone not to be tampered with, if the attacker knew what was good for them. Ah, these Dumb Fucks never learn.

Cross called up, "Undyne, come down here at once, the matter is of great urgency in the sense of  goddess like yourself." With that, he bowed lowly, receiving a chuckle and a, "Nice going smart ass." from Dust. Just ignore it for now.

Undyne hesitated only momentarily, but she was able to convince herself that her powers were not something to tamper with nor ignore. Cross watched as she leaped down, landing with the grace of a cat. Ironic really, seeing as the fish would probably find a feline of any sort besides Alphys ((*wink wink*)) unappealing. She held out her spear in warning towards Cross asking, "What do you wish to say?"

In those moments, Error suddenly showed up, his eyes locking on Undyne in a crazed way as he threw strings out at her. Undyne mumbled a, "Damnit." and dodged in time, hearing the black and white one would had just bowed yell in annoyance.

Undyne landed quickly and turned, aiming at Dust with precision. He noticed though and knew to dodge. From the point of defense, Undyne still felt searing power and determination fill her soul, and she yelled, 

"I don't know who you all think you are, but nonetheless your aggression ends now! I WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!"
