Monsters Don't Retire II (The Nekromonga)

Tyler stood outside of the location that Diana had told him to meet her at with the Dokan resting on his shoulder. "How long do you think she'll be?" he asked the phantom standing next to him. "I doubt that miss Diana will be too long." the phantom answered back in Tyler's voice.

Tyler then began to ask the phantom questions. "Can other people see you or is it just me?" He asked as he put his hand on the back of his neck. "Only if I will them to see me. If I don't need to be seen then I'm not." The phantom explained to his master. "What exactly can you do anyway?" Tyler asked again. "I can not tell you that just yet, you don't want to spoil the surprise." it answered with a light giggle.

He then looked at his shadow cloaked copy. "So you're my mirror image and you sound like me but don't talk like me, why is that?" he spoke out of the blue. The phantom just shrugged and looked down the way he came and saw Diana walking  over. "Is that her?" the phantom asked as he stared at the girl. "Yeah that's her." he answered as he smiled in her direction...

"Really? I was expecting a court house or something." he quipped as he holstered the Dokan. He then grinned at Diana and asked rhetorically "Hey, wanna see something awesome?"

As he said this the phantom appeared before Diana. "Good evening." the phantom greeted as it crossed its arms.

"I've got a phantom buddy!" Tyler laughed as the redheaded nun walked threw the entrance of the gothic church. The nun the greeted the two and asked how she can help them.

"Well, we're looking for some judge guys and apparently they're around here." he explained as he rested his left hand on his sword and waved the other as he spoke. 'Was that really the best idea?' the phantom asked in a very hushed whisper which goated Tyler to reply with "I kinda just go with whatever." in the same whisper.

When the nun answered Tyler just smiled before walking inside the church with Diana. "I wonder why your little friend led us to a church..." Tyler whispered as he looked around the church.

The church was full of homeless people, probably being used as a sanctuary for the time being. Then one of the homeless children looked over to the nun and tugged on her dress, making the nun tend to the child. Diana then asked if he had any other bright ideas which made laugh. "It's not my fault, your friend was the one who led us to a damn church." he explained as he looked at the alter.

"I despise churches." the phantom stated with a quiver in it's voice. Tyler looked at his spectral copy and asked "Why?" which made the phantom confused. "I'm clearly not the most holy of beings." it answered.

"I'm gonna go look around..." Tyler mumbled as he wandered off.

He ended up walking over to an old man and asked "Hey buddy, you ever heard of dark judges?" with a glimmer of hope in his voice. The mans reply was odd, very odd. "Ai I've heard of the dark judges, they roam the night like phantoms and take out the sinners." he replied. Tyler gave the old guy a look before laughing awkwardly "Um, thanks I guess..." and walking off to a nearby door.

As he lent on the door he heard noises coming from inside the room on the other side. He couldn't tell what was happening but was able to deduct that something very peculiar was happening.

As he went to open the he felt a hand grab his own...

When the man grabbed his hand Tyler looked at him with burning eyes. 'Attack!' the phantom roared a Tyler. He ignored the phantom and looked at the mans hand. His hand was covered in scars and Tyler could tell from his hands alone that he was a solider.

When the old man asked why he was looking for the dark judges Tyler moved his hand glared at him. "Vengeance." he replied with a growl as he clutched onto the hilt of the Dokan.

Then he heard Diana's voice in the distance. She seemed to know the guy, who she called "Reverend Earlman." as Tyler heard this he put his guard down and stood in his normal posture. He then cocked his head over to Diana and back to the old man. "Where can we find them?" he asked, getting straight to the point. "More importantly whats going on in there?" he demanded as he pointed at the door.

'Fool! You should of killed him when you had the chance!' The phantom roared as it stood behind Tyler with crossed arms...

When the priest looked at the phantom and showed his holy power he laughed at the man."I am over 3000 years old and you think a lowly stare is enough to take me down? pathetic, I've taken much more holy power than that." The phantom mocked which made Tyler giggle slightly.

"Yeah we'll leave so tell us already!" Tyler said with an annoyed tone in his voice as Diana place her hand on the pommel of the blade which reminded him where he was. He then exhaled deeply and re-postured himself once more.

'We should get out of her as quick as possible!' the phantom stated to the two "This place makes me sick."

When the Reverend led them outside Tyler followed without putting his guard down "He could attack at any moment..." he whispered before the phantom replied with 'Good think Tyler!'

When Diana said she wasn't in it for avenging their master he looked, shocked. "Wait, so you don't want to avenge our master? why?" He question before reverend pulled out a flask of whisky. 'So your a alcoholic priest? that's just funny.' the phantom quipped.

Then the old man asked if the wanted revenge for their master. Tyler was about to answer but Diana spoke before him. She asked if he was a dark judge. Tyler placed his hand back on the sword when she asked this.

When he denied the accusations Tyler got out of his fighting pose but still clutched onto the sword, just in case he needed too.

When he asked if they wanted to find Hotaru he answer quickly. "Yep. But we need you to tell us where the Dark judges are or where we can go to find out.

When the red haired nun walked over and asked what was going on Tyler just smiled at her with his  usual  cheerful grin.

When the reverend explained the situation his smile became nervous. Then the reverend pulled out what  seemed to be a bible. As he opened the book it's pages started to fly around both him and Diana as a magical circle started to form around all of them.

"W-What's happening?" Tyler asked with a nervous tone as he saw Diana cover her face. He began to follow suite and covered his eyes. When he removed his hands he looked around and noticed that they had been spirited away to an abandoned roof top.

"Okay that was pretty cool." Tyler giggled as the phantom suggested something 'You might want to get ready for battle, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.'

Tyler watched as the red haired nun turned into the literal symbol of justice and he couldn't help but be impressed. "My my, I wasn't expecting that." Tyler giggled as he listened to her words.

"Not it!" Tyler said as he looked at Diana. "Hey I've already killed someone this week, I'm dead for sure." he explained as the phantom started to merge with Tyler's shadow, becoming some kind of 9ft shadow guardian. 'I'm staying like this in case she attacks.' The phantom stated.

When Tyler turned around and saw this new form of his phantom his laughed in amazement. "That's kickass!" he giggled before the newly formed guardian laughed 'Indeed.'

As the the woman spoke Tyler pulled out his phone and started to write down what she was saying in his notes. 'Hotaru can be found in the Euclid maze, the massive judge thing is okay with us rescuing her and she doesn't want us to kill the Euclid Knights (I'll try not to.)' is what he wrote.

When the holy woman looked at Tyler and the phantom Tyler just smiled up at the woman, The phantom however didn't. "Ridiculous." it tutted as it crossed his arms. When both the nun and the reverend teleported away he rubbed his eyes and turned his head over in Diana's direction.

"What was that?" he asked with a confused look on his face. "I don't know about all of this holy stuff but this is certainly a weird situation." he added as he fixed his chest armor. 'You need new armor, you look like a bum.' The phantom stated, not pleased with his masters attire. "Shut up." Tyler growled...
