Clipping a ravens wings (Ultragal)

Tyler had ended up in another peculiar situation to his usual, you know taking down criminals and all that stuff. 'I say we Should just go in and slaughter them all.' Tyler's phantom commented as they both stared at the seemingly abandoned building in front of them. "Calm down, there's no need to kill them, we haven't been paid to do that." Tyler answer as he shook his head. The phantom sighed 'Your really boring you know that?' to which Tyler just ignored.

The reason Tyler had found himself in front of some dilapidated house was indeed strange. He was accustomed to getting kill jobs and rescuing people from kidnappers when the police couldn't do it but he had never gotten a request as stupid as this. He had gotten an email telling him to go to the current location and have a diplomatic chat with a group of what sounded like terrorists.

"The Ravens? How much more edgy can you get?" He quipped before the phantom replied with 'You're the one with shadow powers, how are you calling people edgy?' Tyler just looked at the phantom and shook his head whilst laughing "Good point."

At that point someone started to walk out of the abandoned building...

Astrid had been told by an informant about the infamous terrorist organization know as "The ravens" so she decided that she would bring them to justice in the usual righteous hero manner.

She was stood on some rooftops nearby the same location that Tyler had been currently standing in front of. As she looked over Tyler she realized something, he was wearing all black and was going to a place filled with terrorists. she deducted that he was either in the wrong place at the wrong time or he was a terrorist. On closer inspection she noticed the sword hanging from his waist and the two guns hanging under his arms. "This guys definitely a terrorist." she muttered.

She then watched as a man wearing a black suit walked out of the dilapidated building and started to listen in on his conversation with the other guy.

"Hello there, your Dusker correct?" The man in the black suit asked Tyler as he placed his hand on his swords hilt.

"What's it to you?" He asked with a cautious tone in his voice. 'I'm guessing this guy sets of as many red flags for you.' the phantom said, keeping in his unmaterialized state.

"I am Walter, leader and founder of the Ravens, I presume you got my email?" The man laughed a Tyler's cautiousness.

"What are they talking about?" Astrid asked aloud, knowing that no one would be able to hear what she was saying.

"So it was you who sent that email. You shouldn't pretend to be a requester you know, I could be off saving some little kid then talking with you." Tyler growled, he didn't like it when people did that sort of thing. "So what do you want anyway?" he asked as he clutched onto the Kage Dokan.

"I merely want to talk with you boy. Come, follow me inside." Walter said as he turned away from Tyler, a grin starting to form across the mans face.

"Okay sure..." Tyler said as he followed the man inside, still clutching onto his sword in case it was an ambush.

"Crap! they're getting away!" Astrid exclaimed as she jumped down from the rooftop and started to sneak after the two men.

As they submerged deeper into the building Tyler noticed a giant metal door in front of both him and the man in the black suit. The man walked up to the door and knocked five times, pausing for a second after the third knock. 'Ooh a secret knock!' The phantom quipped as it looked at the guy calling himself Walter.

The door suddenly started to open to reveal what seemed to be an elevator surrounded by metal walls and steel beams. "Shall me venture down?" Walter asked with a grin slapped on his face.

"You go first." Tyler stated as he nodded in the direction of the elevator. 'This is so a trap.' the phantom stated as Walter walked over to the elevator and stood in the center as he beckoned to Tyler.

"Come on boy, don't be shy." Walter grinned as he held his hand to Tyler.

Tyler nodded his head as he walked into the elevator before Walter pressed a button that made the elevator go underground. as it lowered the metal door started to close.


Astrid then hit a nearby wall and shouted "Dammit!" as she heard an engine stopping over in the distance. She turned around to see a woman and beckoned her over as she looked at the metal door...

When the woman asked why she was interested in the door she looked up at her and explained the events that just passed. "I saw two guys go threw that door, I think they might be terrorists, you might want to get out of here if your a civilian. Do you have powers?" She asked as she tried to think of a plan.

"I think I have an idea to get in!" She announced as she rushed over to the door and closed her eyes. 'I need a pure stick stick of light, a meter in length and 10 cm in width...' she thought, trying to imagine what she was constructing as it started taking shape in her hand.


As he walked out of the elevator Tyler stuck to the side of the room that had the least light. as he walked he created a ball of shadow and pressed it into the Dokan, charging it for later.

Both Tyler and the man in the black suit remained silent until they reached the main room of this underground base. When they arrived at the main room Tyler's eyes where flooded by bright lights, clearly put there to suppress his powers. 'They clearly did a little research, but certainly not enough...' The phantom laughed.

"Come, sit." Walter said as he pulled out a chair and sat around the round table in the middle of the room. Everyone else in the room was wearing a black mask that covered their faces. "Oh come on, a terrorist group called the Ravens that all wear black masks. Is it ment to be ironic or are you really just that edgy?" Tyler giggled as he placed his legs on the table and slung his hands behind his head.

Walter laughed at Tyler's lack of respect. "Well on to the matter we called you hear..." Walter giggled "We would like you to join our little group." Walter explained as he joined his fingers together and smiled.

"Wait you want me to be a terrorist? Are you stupid?" Tyler giggled as he looked at the terrorists around him. "Sorry, I may look as edgy as you guys but doesn't that doesn't mean I wanna be apart of your group. In fact, if I had come here on my own reasons I probably would have killed you all at this very moment.

"Oh did you think you had a choice in the matter? restrain him." Walter grinned as two of the members stood up and made there way over to Tyler.

When he saw the two guys walk behind him Tyler laughed. "Oh this is gonna be fun!" he smirked as he pushed himself off the chair and into the air, kicking the two guys in the face as he landed.

"Who wants some!" he gestured as he pulled out the Dokan, it teeming with the same kind of black smoke that comes from one of his constructs.

"I certainly am!" The phantom roared as it showed itself to the group of terrorists, currently in its protector form. This made a few of the terrorists hesitate in fear before they all started to rush Tyler...

"Oh um, nice flower but I've already got this ready so..." Astrid said as she held the stick of light in her hand. She then proceeded to jam the stick into the door, melting the door like a warm knife threw butter. She then began to draw a archway with the stick until a clear way in presented its self.

"Yes! lets go in!" Astrid enthused as she stood near the panel in the elevator and pressed the button that would take them both straight down to the current location of Tyler and the terrorists.

"Lets tango!" Tyler grinned as he swung his sword at the terrorists in front of him, creating a projection of the slice that did some serious damage to the guys in front of him.

Then a guy started to rush at Tyler but the phantom pushed the guy away, making him fall over. Just as he pushed the guy over the phantom turned around to see a guy lining up a shot on his master with what seemed to be semi auto AK 47. Luckily the phantom was facing in the same direction as the shooter so he was able to block the attack.

When he heard the bullet bounce off his phantom he pulled out his gun and shot the guy in the knee cap, taking him out of the fight.

Then a group of five terrorists began to run at Tyler. knowing that his phantom would only be able to defend from one of them Tyler started to dodge their kicks and punches until he got a clear strike on one of the guys. He swung at the guys and decapitated it from bellow the knee.

"Sorry!" Tyler shouted as he started to fight the others in hand to hand combat, sheathing the Dokan as he did so.

Walter just sat back in his chair and watched the whole ordeal go down, coffee in hand...

When Astrid saw the guy swinging around his sword she realized that her earlier deduction had been proven wrong. She now thought that this guy must be some kind of mercenary that had been hired by these guys but something had happened to make them fall out, which was closer to the real truth.

She quickly formed a light ball within her hand and shot it into the stomach of one of the thugs, effectively knocking the guy unconscious. As one of the thugs started to run at her she quickly dodged out of the way and threw the guy onto the ground. Once on the ground she punched the guy in the head, knocking the thug out.

Astrid then looked over to the guy with the katana in hand. he seemed to be switching to hand to hand combat against 5 guys, she had to admit that this guy was a pretty good fighter. She then noticed something that she hadn't before, she saw the giant figure that took over the guys shadow. She was mesmerized by the phantom until she saw a woman running at her with a bat in her peripheral vision, dodging her strike as she swung.


Tyler kept fighting the guys bare handed, dodging strikes and kicks with ease until he saw what seemed to be arrows and balls of light wising past him. As he watched them fly by one of the goons was able to land a hit on Tyler, knocking his half mask off as he did so. Once he hit all the others backed off

When he got hit he staggered back for a second and put his finger in his mouth to reveal blood. he stared at his finger for a second until he started to laugh. "Good hit, but now you're gonna get him 5 times harder!" her giggled as he punched the thug in the face, breaking his nose in the process.

With the punch he continued the brawl with the other four of the band that had formed to take him down. 'That was pretty badass. You know what would of been more badass? shooting him in the head.' the phantom commented as he continued to block the shots of the guys on the higher level of the room. "What is it with you and killing?" Tyler asked as he grabbed one of the guys arms and bent it in such away that is broke.

'No idea!' the phantom lauded as he noticed a guy running at Tyler with a bat. "watch out!" he warned as Tyler ducked the swing and uppercuted the guy, adding the group back up to 4.

Walter watched as some new guests walked in. "First ones to subdue those two will get a raise and will be appointed as my right hand!" he laughed as he took a sip of his coffee. "This is certainly going to be fun..." he grinned as he dodged an incoming swing from one of his thugs...

"What brings you fine ladies here!" Tyler smiled as he cracked to guys in the stomach, winding them with the strike. As one held their stomach Tyler grabbed him by the head and kneed him in the face, knocking him out with the strike.

"None of your damn business merc!" Astrid growled, she'd never really liked mercenary's, especially the ones that took jobs from villains. As she spoke she was fighting the woman who tried to strike her with the bat.

She continued to dodge her attacks until she saw her opportunity to strike. As the woman swung she ducked and swiped at the attackers legs making her fall to the ground. Once on the ground she kicked the woman in the head, effectively delivering the knock out blow.

"Sorry but I'm not a merc. Sure I was paid to come and negotiate with these guys but if I would of come here on my own accord they result would be the same." Tyler explained as he pulled out his gun and shot one of the guys in the knee caps, taking him out of the fight. "The names Dusker by the way. Well my stage name at least." Tyler told the woman with the bow. "And I'm a good guy so I don't think you'll be taking me in at all." he added.

As he talked he finished off the rest of the group and looked over at Walter. "And don't worry, if she doesn't pull the trigger I will." Tyler said bluntly as he pointed his Beretta at the guys head. "I'll let you in on a little secret, I really don't like terrorists, or bad guys in general." he added.

Astrid looked at Tyler and thought 'Oh, so he's not a merc, just a hero who has strange methods of fighting for people.', coming to the realization that both of her deductions where wrong.

When the coffee mug went flying out of his hand Walter just looked at the three. when they started to make threats he found it even funnier. "Oh really?" he giggled as he snapped his fingers. As he did this around 20 guys with machine guns walked threw the door.

Before they could fire Tyler stood in front of both of the girls and crossed his arms. Then the phantom hovered in front of Tyler so that it would be able to block the bullets. At this point Tyler looked back at Astrid and the other girl. "It's alright I got this!" he assured them as he grinned and placed his thumb on his chest.

Once the guys started to fire the phantom blocked the incoming shots with relative ease. 'Did you honestly think bullets like that would honestly pierce me?' the phantom laughed as the guys started to lose ammo.

Once they were all out the phantom moved out of the way. As they started to lose the will to fight Astrid stood up and formed a ball of light in her hand. "You ready?" She asked as she stood next to Tyler a smirked at the guys with the empty machine guns. "Do you really need to ask that question?" Tyler retorted as he unsheathed the dokan from its scabbard and ran towards Walter and the thugs.

Astrid then started to shoot out light balls at the guys as Tyler ran, whizzing past him as he did so...

Once Tyler had finished slicing up a few of the terrorists legs he sheathed his sword and walked over to Walter. Astrid followed behind him and watched as the girl held a tomahawk to Walters neck. "Isn't a beheading a little to extreme?" Astrid asked as she sat in one of the chairs and spun around in it.

"It is a little extreme..." Tyler added as he pulled out his trusty Beretta and placed it against his forehead. "He doesn't need to let me go if I kill him on the spot." Tyler grinned as he pressed harder. 'Yes, shoot him!' the phantom added as it began to revert back to the mirror image of Tyler.

Walter sighed as he looked at the two of them. "Fine. You're free to go but..." He smirked as Astrid was suddenly locked into the chair and whisked off somewhere by two men that had been hiding under the table. Tyler was going to go after her but a set of iron doors quickly shut before he could reach them. "I'm taking her insted."

Once he realized that he wouldn't be able to go after her he ran up to the guy and pressed deeper into his head. "Open now!" He roared as his eyes burned with anger.

"I don't see why I should." Walter smirked as he put his hands in his pockets and smiled up at him.

"Here's a reason." Tyler growled as he pressed the trigger, blowing the guys brains out. "Damn terrorists, all they try to do is disrupt happy people." he grumbled as he tried to look for a way in to the room Astrid was being held in. "Dammit!" he roared when he had no luck in his objective...

"Good idea." he said with a nod as he started to follow the mouse around the twists and turns of the underground base. the base was almost maze like in nature, having lots of dead ends and random splits in the halls. As they followed the mouse they were led to a room that was full of weapons, most likely their barracks, and was greeted by around 8 thugs.

"Well ain't that convenient, are you guys gonna tell me where I can find this interrogation room of yours or do I have to cut all your evil asses into pieces." Tyler threatened with a grin stretched across his face, knowing they'd speak up thanks to his clothes being stained with blood.

When he spoke most of the thugs started to move towards the back of the room as a guy who was around 7'3 walked from out of the crowd. He stood in front of Tyler with arms crossed and a mean look on his face. "Wow big fella how did you escape the zoo, I always thought elephants weren't a loud out of the enclosure..." Tyler quipped as the guy raised his hand and tried to hit him. Tyler had already anticipated this happening and was able to quickly draw his sword and slice of the guys hand by the wrist. As he swung the guys face turned from an angered expression to a fearful one, grabbing his stub after his hand was severed.

"Now, tell me where they took my friend." he said as he got in the guy's face and placed his beretta on the side of his head. As the guy spoke he stuttered "Y-Y-You can find her just threw t-that door and two your right." Once Tyler had gotten his information he thanked the guy before knocking him out.

As he walked to the door the guys quickly parted to let him threw.

As Astrid was being wheeled away she couldn't do anything except try and wiggle out of her restraints. "Where are you assholes taking me?!" she said, demanding that they answer. "You'll know soon enough princess." one of the thugs said with a chuckle as they entered a completely dark room. As she was pushed into the room a singular light turned on. the light was coming from a nearby lamp. As her eyes adjusted to the light she saw who was standing in front of her.

"Holy shit, aren't you dead?" She asked with a surprised expression. "I'm afraid that ONE of me is dead. He was simply a dud, a drone if you will." Walter explained as he picked up a knife from a nearby table and started to twirl it in his hand. "Shall we have a little fun before your friends arrive?" Walter giggled as he held the knife to her throat.

Before he could do anything Tyler and Medicine Woman burst through the door...
