A/N: Ditto. Shoutout to darkraizerGx1 and The blackmoon64 for favoriting the story!

"You're the Pyro?" asked Scout is disbelief. "I doubt that, you don't look like the type of person Mumbles would be,"

"I can vouch for her," said Medic as he stepped in. "I can say that she is our Pyro,"

"And you can how?" asked Sniper.

"Do I really have to explain dummkopf?" Medic said as he rolled his eyes. "Does annual checkups ring a bell?"

"WHY WERE WE NOT INFORMED OF THIS DOCTOR?" Soldier said as he got into Medic's face.

"Patient-doctor confidentiality, Herr Soldier," said the German as he pushed Soldier away from him. "Besides, she would've done, ahem, some rather painful things to me if I reveled her identity,"

Soldier grunted as he stepped away from the ex-doctor.

"Ok so we know the Pyro is a girl now," said Scout. "Now comes my second point," he took a deep breath. "WHY COULDN'T YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO HERE ON THE BATTLEFIELD?"

Scout received a strong slap to the face by Tina, "Thanks, I needed that,"

"It's because I fight fair, chucklenuts," she said. "Besides, it wouldn't be as fun,"

Some of the other mercs nodded at this.

"The questions you are asking can be asked later, Scout," said Spy. "But you are missing the elephant in the room,"

"Elephant in what now?"

"He means you're missing the big picture," Tina explained.

"Thank you, at least we have someone with a brain here,"

"Watch it spook," threatened Sniper, who got smoke blown in face in retaliation.

Spy walked over to the dead body of a small creature, "First off what is this?"

"That there is an imp, a very weak demon individually, but they can become dangerous in hoards," Tina said.

"DEMON!" everyone yelled.

"Correct! Did you really think they were myths?"

"Uh yeah," said Scout. "Now don't tell me unicorns exist as well,"

"They do, in fact, all creatures people think of as mythical exist in real life,"

"Even the bad ones?" Demo asked.

"Unfortunately yes," Tina said as she looked over the dead imp. "Why don't we discuss this inside, I'd rather not be attack by a harpy or some other winged beast,"

Time Skip

"Luars, why do I feel that name rings a bell?" asked Demo. "I think me pappy once told me a story about the Luars and how they fought many monsters of the night,"

"So you're a monster hunter…why didn't you tell us that?" asked Engi.

Tina crossed her arms. "First off, I doubt you'd believe me. And secondly monster hunting is dangerous,"

"DANGEROUS? WE FOUGHT AGAINST MERASMUS, A PUMPKIN MAN, AND DEMO'S EYE. WHAT COULD BE MORE DANGEROUS THAN THAT?" shouted Soldier.

"The monsters we fight against pale in comparison to what you guys had fought, and Merasmus? I betcha he wouldn't last a second against a necromancer,"

"Necro-what now?"

"A person who can raise the dead, annoying fucks am I right? Anyways I'm getting off topic," she cleared her throat. "I'm assuming that you're all wondering why I am telling you all this?"

All the other mercs nodded.

"One of my sisters wants you eight to be part-time monster hunters,"

There was a deathly silence in the room.

"But didn't you just say…" started Engi.

"I know what I said Engi, but we need the help, and you eight are the only people who dealt with something supernatural before,"

"I'm opting out," said Sniper as he stood up. "I'd rather not see anything like this for a while,"

"Yeah," said Scout. "I do not want to be torn to shreds by a demon again,"

"You'll be paid," Tina said sternly. Believe it or not, some callers paid handsomely for getting a creature off their back, so sometimes it was profitable.

This changed the mood slightly; Tina knew that the call of money would turn any merc's head.

"Anything we should be concerned about when we take this job?" asked Spy.

"First off, no Respawn whatsoever. Secondly, you'll be going up against things that are going to be better than you in every way. Think of it as an Arena match,"

"Then it is settled!" said Soldier. "We will go out and kick some magical creature ass!" he then proceeded to march out of the room.

"Uh, I think we still have a problem," said Sniper. "What about the Administrator? I doubt she would just let us go,"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. You mercs just get ready, we leave tonight," Tina said, a glint of mischievous intent in her eyes. She left the mercs with worried looks.

"I don't like the look of this," said Engi.

Time Skip

Convincing the Administrator was easier than Tina had expected, the older lady waved her off, saying that if the REDs die she can finally leave this "boring job". She said it with a notion that she didn't really care about the mercs and would rather be doing different things then this.

Right now she was stuffing clothes and other things into a duffel bag, while also trying to figure out how to explain the true situation to the guys. Ever since she heard her dad say something big was coming, she was constantly paranoid about when it will happen, which was normal considering she was the oldest out of the four.

"Maybe tell them later," she thought. "Right now we should focus on the basics first,"

She finished packing by stuffing Balloonicorn inside her bag, even though she was too old for such things, she had a soft spot for the unicorn plush.

Tina walked out of the room and headed to the living room.

Engi folded up a shirt and carefully placed it inside a hiking bag. Though he didn't look like it, the Texan was a neat freak and had some OCD. He didn't show it around his teammates for obvious reasons.

Engi had multiple things going through his mind. First, finding out your supposed "male" teammate is actually a female. Second, she has god-like powers. And third, her true job is, in fact, hunting down and exterminating creatures that were once called myths.

Engi placed a spare PDA inside the bag.

When the Texan first saw Tina, he was simply stunned by her appearance, just like the first time he met…her. He shook his head. She must've had someone already, who would pass on a woman like that? That brown hair flowing gently in the breeze, those orange eyes, her gaze…

CLINK!

Engi looked down as he saw he dropped a shotgun shell. He mentally cursed at himself as he picked it up and continued to load his shotgun.

He also wondered why Tina acted like a kid when she was Pyro. She didn't seem to act like a kid when she was talking to them; in fact, she acted the exact opposite of what Pyro was. Was it to hide her true intentions? Engi had to ask that later once they arrived at the monster hunter base. He cocked his shotgun and slid it into a side holder.

Engi closed the bag and slung it over his shoulders, he looked outside from the broken window to see the sun setting.

He couldn't help but feel that the sun looked just like Tina's eyes.

Tina entered the living room to find all of the mercs milling around, waiting. She whistled to get their attention.

"Everyone ready?" she asked. She looked around and found everyone had a bag or duffel of some sorts, plus their respective weapons.

"Yup, where are we off to?" asked Scout.

"North, to Washington,"

"That's around a day's drive or so," said Sniper. "We better get going,"

"Who says we're driving?"

"Well how else are we going to get there?"

"Simple, magic," she pulled out, what looks like a small snow globe, and whispered to it. She then threw the globe in front of her and exploded. A green colored portal opened where the globe exploded. "C'mon we're wasting time," she said as she stepped through the portal.

The mercs had their jaws on the ground as they saw this. A cricket could be heard in the distance.

"I'm starting to rethink this magic thing," said Soldier as he marched towards the portal. "Maybe this is why Merasmus likes it so much," he stepped through the portal.

The other mercs soon followed suit.

When they exited the portal they found themselves in a forest of some sorts. It was dark and hard to see as well.

"So where's the base?" asked Scout. "It just looks like a creepy dark forest,"

"We have to walk there," said Tina. "The base is enchanted so that people cannot teleport inside it or out from it, it's mainly a security measure,"

"Walk? Um, don't you see it's nighttime and we're smack dab in the middle of a forest? This is literally a death trap,"

"Don't worry, as long as you eight stay near me we wouldn't have much trouble, lets go,"

Time Skip

The group had been walking through the forest for about twenty minutes. The mostly everyone was twitchy and jumped at any noise that was made, heck, Scout almost shot Spy when he heard a branch snap, gaining the ire of the Frenchman.

"So how much further, firebug?" Sniper asked as he swatted a fly that landed on his shoulder.

Tina stopped and looked around.

"We're lost aren't we?"

"No…I think I heard something," she responded. "Lights out, something's coming!"

The team quickly turned off their lights and hit the ground, weapons at the ready.

At first nothing happened, but none of the men were eager to get up just yet.

"I don't think-" Medic was silenced by Demo's hand as they heard rustling. A light soon appeared near where the mercs were hiding. The mercs couldn't see much of who or what was there, but they did make out a kerosene lantern, a weird looking rifle weapon, and found out later, when the figure moved, that it was very tall, about the same height as Heavy.

The figure was about to turn away and walk away when a blood-curling scream was heard. The team whirled around to find that Sniper had walked onto a bear trap, and now he was stuck inside the metal device.

"You imbecile!" Spy hissed as Sniper slapped a hand over his mouth but it was too late.

Despite its size, the figure ran over to where the mercs were hiding with incredible speed and vaulted over the bush that hid them. It aimed the rifle at the mercs.

"Who the hell are all of you?" it asked. "And what are you doing here at this time of night?"

Tina recognized the voice and said, "Hanna?" and switched on her flashlight and illuminated the figure.

The figure was a tall and slightly chubby woman who had golden brown hair tied in a ponytail, and under a bucket hat. She had on a green shirt under a black unzipped jacket, and wore black pants with gray sneakers. She also wore fingerless gloves like Heavy.

"Tina?" Hanna asked. She went up to her sister, lifted her off the ground, and gave a very tight hug. "Omigod it is you! How long has it been…"

"Erp, Hanna…can't…breath…" Tina choked out.

Hanna released her grip and put Tina back on the ground. "Sorry…" she said sheepishly.

"Wait you two know each other?" asked Scout.

"Yup, we're sisters," Hanna said.

"Are you…"

"If you're asking, no, I am not older than Tina. I'm the youngest out of the four of us," Hanna quickly said. "I don't get it with you people thinking height is proportionate with age,"

"Sorry if I'm interrupting anything," said Medic. "But Herr Sniper is still trapped inside that bear trap,"

Everyone turned to find Heavy and Soldier trying to pry the trap open, the Australian in obvious pain.

"Ooooh, sorry about that," said Hanna as she went over to the three. "These things were made to trap very strong monsters, so it's going to be hard to open it,"

While everyone was focused on helping Sniper out of the trap, Scout slipped away for a bathroom break. But as he did, he didn't know a wolf was following him. But not just any type of wolf was following him.

It was a wolf with a white coat.

A/N: Well here you go, chapter two as well as a cliffhanger. Is this canine good or evil? I know the answer already, but for you, welp, you have to find out.

Review Question: Ditto.
