Dungeon Crawl [Angel/Saga]

ngel would be lying to herself if she said that she wasn't just a little bit nervous about her first mission as a rookie hero under the pro hero Ultra Violet. They had met during Angel's and Yusaku's recent Fort Slog run which ended with Ultra Violet recruiting her as an apprentice along with a few select others. It wasn't long after that, and few rounds of training between the two that Ultra Violet asked Angel to come along on a night mission to a warehouse where some sketchy stuff was going down thanks to a local gang. They had been asked by the local police to investigate

Once the pair arrived at their vantage point a few buildings away Angel remained silent and seemingly more focused then usual. She even thought ahead and wore her brand new stealth op gear created by one of the support students named Yojin and designed by her auntie Rose the famous artist. Angel decided to remain crouched so that her pink wings that lay flat against her back. As Ultra violet said that they were good in that the gang had no idea that they were there. Once Ultra violet asked how she was doing Angel made sure to give her new mentor her usual trademark smile to try and hide what little worry she did have inside her.

"I feel great Ms.Ultra Violet! Thanks for letting me come along with you on this mission. I'm just glad Yojin from the support course had my new stealth suit ready in time. My other suit would have gotten us caught for sure, and besides black is rather slimming wouldn't you say?"

Angel let out a soft giggle, but blushed as she realized that when she said that she had begun to check out her mentor's beautiful figure and so she forced herself to look straight ahead with her cheeks as red as roses. As Ultra Violet passed her the night vision goggles Angel looked through them not to spot any gang members, but to look for possible entry points. Once she was done spotting a skylight entrance on the roof and a back door entrance she passed the night vision goggles back to Ultra Violet just in time to see her hand raised for a high five. Angel knew that her mentor was just trying to lighten the mood and so Angel high fived her back, but raised an eyebrow at the cigar and hookers suggestion. Angel knew this was probably a joke so she decided to return the favor.

"You can have my share Ms.Ultra Violet. I don't think my girlfriend would like it very much if I came home covered in another woman's perfume let alone body glitter."

Angel then turned attention back to the building in front of them and pointed toward the sky light.

"Look at the roof of the building ma'am. There is a glass sky light most likely for ventilation purposes from whatever this building is used for like metal work or some such. I could enter through there and sneak around through the raftors and pick off the goons one by one. The quieter we do this the better because we don't know what kind of fire power they have hidden away, and we can't risk a fire fight spilling outside to where people would get hurt. A feather for your thoughts?"

s Ultra Violet complimented not only her confidence, but also her new super suit even going as far as to call her babe the young girl found herself blushing brightly at said compliments because she had never been complimented in such a manner by a pro before. It oddly felt good to finally gain a pro's approval to the point Angel momentarily took her eyes off the warehouse to give her mentor a surprised gaze as she found herself in stunned silence for a moment before lightly clearing her throat.

"Th..thank you for saying that. It means a lot coming from you."

As Maya surprised her with a high five Angel quickly made sure to return the favor though it was what Ultra Violet said next that caused Angel's smile to widen. The pro told her that she didn't have to be afraid to tell her how she was truly feeling because they had to be on the same page when they were together. Angel nodded at this, and then giggled a bit as Ultra Violet said she liked how Angel was thinking about giving her mentor the share of the after mission reward.

"You enjoy the after mission celebration to its fullest mentor."

As Ultra Violet said that Angel's girlfriend was a lucky girl Angel just smiled and lightly shook her head.

"I think I'm the lucky one mentor. We don't really have time to go into the story of how we met, but I can tell you that it was love at first sight for the both of us. Before our paths crossed she was a minor thief out of a need to survive because she was a runaway because she can't always control her summon quirk. She gave up the thief's path so that she and I could be together. I'm a lucky woman Mentor."

Angel made sure to leave Miyami's name out of her little story snippet to try and protect her love in case her new mentor would want to track her down and arrest her. As Angel blushed at the thought of Miyami she thought about what Ultra Violet said about being open and honest about her feelings and so Angel looked at her with a gentle smile.

"If I may be honest Mentor, it feels nice to have a pro hero like you praise me, see potential in me and want to get to really know me. No other pro besides Yellow Jacket ever has before. So I guess what i'm trying to say is thank you for giving me a chance."

Angel listen carefully as Ultra Violet explained that she had planned for them to go in loud. She also explained that a factory like the one they were going into didn't have many places that they could go about their business or move from place to place. Angel couldn't really disagree with this, but she did have an idea of a way to help her mentor if things were to go south.

"That makes sense mentor. I'll follow your lead though as we go in I'll make sure to keep my eyes peeled for fuse boxes so that if things start to go south I can go into the rafters and use one of my projectile feathers to cut the lights if need be since you have those night vision binoculars."

Angel then stepped up onto the ledge of the building and spread her large 3 meter wings to their full length and smiled back at her mentor.

"You wanna knock first or should I?"

s Angel suddenly felt Ultra Violet's hand hit her shoulder Angel made sure not to jump or make her combat reflexes kick in since she knew it was a show of affection in a way. As Ultra Violet told her to keep things rather informal Angel nodded hoping she hadn't upset the pro, but luckily said pro was actually happy with her or at least the plan to cut the lights ahead of time saying that it was a good idea. This made Angel's heart swell with joy at the fact that the pro she was working with was liking her strategic mind.

"I'm glad you like my idea Ultra. I'll make sure to get you a good opening."

As Ultra Violet took off toward the building Angel jumped from her perch and gently and quietly flew toward the warehouse making sure to lightly land next to Ultra Violet and in front of the sky light. As Angel peeked through said sky light for just a moment she listened as Ultra Violet told her not to worry about her in the darkness and that she was basically used to fighting inside of it Angel gently took the Night Vision goggles from her mentor and hooked them to her belt so that they hung there for just a moment as she whispered back.

"If you don't mind then I'm going to borrow these as I'm not as used to fighting in the darkness, and need to be able to see where I'm aiming my feathers so I don't accidently kill someone."

Once Ultra Violet gave her the go ahead if she was feeling confident and that she'll be ready to jump in if needed Angel nodded silently before gently pulling the sliding sky light panel open quickly scanning the inside of the room for the fuse box nodding to herself before jumping through the new entry way and using her wings to land lightly in the rafters. She then lightly stepped through them so she could get a closer shot making sure none of the gang members were near it, or at least were not facing it. She then hardened one of her feathers, plucked it once it was as hard as steel and threw it like a kunai at the fuse box causing it to short out and all of the lights to go dark. Once this happened Angel slipped the night vision goggles over her head and onto her eyes so that she could see. Luckily thanks to her new black suit she should be almost impossible to spot unless one of the goons had enhanced senses. To be safe however Angel quickly, quietly and gently hopped from one section of the rafters to another so that the goons wouldn't be able to trace the trajectory of the feather if it was found. Angel even made sure to use her wings up landing in the new section to soften her steps before resting them flat against her back. 

"The first part of the plan is done. Now it's time to see what Ultra Violet can do."

s Angel heard her mentor praise her and asked her if she had been practicing the young girl felt her heart flutter with joy at the fact that a mentor like figure was actually pleased with her and willing to tell her so! Before Angel got to respond however Ultra Violet decided to jump in head first so to speak as she rather beautifully made her way into the building through the sky light yelling a rather action movie one liner as she landed and proceeded to knock two of the thugs down with a graceful round house kick! Angel decided to take this as her cue to jump into the fray herself spreading her wings, and jumping from the rafters and gliding down gracefully, but instead of landing beside Ultra Violet she chose to aim for behind her as she saw a group of three try an attack from behind. As Angel closed in from the ground she closed her wings against her back and allowed herself to land on her palms where she then gracefully spun as she kept her legs wide in a pinwheel type motion to knock the three foes temporarily off balance.

"And don't worry guys, gals and non-binary pals we have enough cans of whoop ass for every to have seconds!"

Once the three goons were off balance from her windmill spin kick Angel gracefully spun to her feet and grabbed one of the goons by the wrist and belt, lifted them over her head threw him like a sack of concrete into their two pals knocking all three onto their backs. Angel then lightly back stepped to stand close to back to back with Ultra Violet with a grin. This was what Angel had always wanted in a hero team up with a pro! Fighting back to back as equals! The feeling of excitement down right made her feel as if she may jump out of her skin with happiness!

"To answer your question Ultra Violet, it's not a matter of practice. It's a matter of knowing what kind of tactics to use when! Unlike with the forts defenses I actually have to worry about breaking actual people."

As Angel said this she saw two more goons rush her, but stop half way and reach into their coats. Angel had seen enough movies to know what this gesture meant, and so with her left wing she shot two feathers toward the goons gun hands which managed to reach them just as they went to point said guns at her and pull the trigger. When they did so however they found their guns exploding in their hands due to backfire because Angel's feathers had clogged the barrels. As the goons staggered backward clutching their hands with pained grunts Angel used a burst of super speed to quickly close the gap between her and them, and ducked down to sweep their feet out from under them before quickly standing back up to do as her mentor had done and round house kick one into the other knocking both out. She then looked back at her mentor with a focused gaze.

"I should have probably asked this earlier, but do you have any intel on what these wannabe gangsters are actually using this warehouse for Ultra Violet?"

ngel wasn't sure, but she felt as if she had somehow disappointed her mentor which made the excited feeling of taking down the two gunman faded rather quickly as Ultra Violet said that experienced gunmen wouldn't have given her a chance to block their barrels. While this made Angel's heart sink and made her feel less skilled in the eyes of her mentor it did however make her realize that rushing in against two armed gunmen was kind of extremely stupid even for someone as fast and as strong as she was.

"Yea they were kind of scrubs, but that was a bit of a dumb move on my part. I may be strong, but I am certainly not bullet proof. Lesson learned Ultra Violet"

Once Ultra Violet said that the thugs had one of two players among them Angel watched as a already tough looking brute stepped up, ripped off his shirt,and then suddenly transform into what basically equated into a werewolf. This caused Angel's eyes to go wide for a moment in surprise before a quick sucker punch from one of the quirkless goons knocked her back to reality as well as cause her to stagger slightly. As the man went in for a second punch Angel quickly used her left hand to catch the punch, and throw the man into the movie monster in front of them hoping for a stagger even though she doubted that such a thing would happen due to the wolf man's size.

"I don't know why I thought that would work."

Angel know that the werewolf most likely had sharp claws and so as Ultra Violet asked if Angel wanted the first crack at the big beastie Angel jumped up onto one of the wooden crates around the room and looked down at her mentor with a chuckle of both excitement and a bit of nervousness.

Angel deeply wanted to show Ultra Violet what she was capable of, but the more sensible part of her knew that Jasmine, Feng and Risaka were not with them which meant that she had no need to show off to try and gain her mentor's favor. She also knew that there was no school nurse with magic healing powers to fix her up if she acted recklessly. Ultra Violet was the mentor and leader in this situation and so Angel had to follow her orders, and do her best not to show off in a way that would get either of them hurt or worse. On top of all that Angel had another job she needed to take care of, and that was the dime store goons that were backing up not so teen wolf and so as Ultra Violet asked if she wanted first crack at the big bad wolf Angel shook her head as she hopped down from her crate perch.

"I appreciate the offer Ultra Violet, but I think scruffy's pals would get upset if I ignored them, and besides I've never gotten to watch you work before. Could be a fun learning opportunity yea?"

Angel then looked toward the goons backing up Mr.Tooth and claw and just made the "come at me" finger gesture at them with a teasing wink to try and aggravate them into attacking.

"It's impolite to keep a young lady waiting boys. Let's dance!"

As a triad of goons with crowbars rushed Angel all at once the young girl just smirked and allowed them to come a bit closer even allowing two to swing their crowbars before catching them in her hands and using her super strength to bend them slightly backwards before she just shoved the two who had tried to strike her into the third knocking him over. As the three got back up more angry then before Angel in a burst of super speed rushed the three, grabbed one by the head and slammed his face into her knee knocking him out and giving him a bloody nose. She then grabbed an arm of each of the other two men, spun her body so that they were on each side of her and then kicked them one after the other in the him with each leg to knock them away. Hopefully the goons would stay dumb and not realize they could mob her in greater numbers long enough for her mentor to send their canine foe back to the vet crying.

s Angel continued to easily fight off the quickly thinning number of goons she quickly smiled as her mentor once again began to praise her for going for her gut, but also mentioned that it would not always work. This lead to a nod from Angel as she continued to kick away the thugs that were foolish enough to try and charge her while her mentor also chose to jump away from the claws of their canine foe. This was when U.V. posed quite the interesting question! Why had their numbers thinned out? Why had some of them seem to run away? It was almost like.. they were running not away from something, but toward something. This caused Angel to temporarily look toward her mentor though her eyes were hidden by the goggles.

"It seems I might have been right U.V. The skylight was meant for use in some kind of operation and it seems like our friends don't want us getting to it so they are running to save what materials they can. Classic gang move though I'm ashamed I learned that from those corny crime shows. While you deal with our fuzzy friend here Do you want me to go after them, and make sure they don't get away? Speaking of our fuzzy friend, I speak from personal experience when I say that high pitched sounds are your friend."

Angel then smirked at her mentor trying to remind her of the moment during her slog run where she had been hit with a flash bang and had to remove her hearing aids. Hopefully the purple haired shinobi remembered. Angel then once she was given the okay by her mentor turned her attention to the entryway to see a final line of goons rushing her, but instead of plowing her way through them Angel just took a deep breath through her nose before begin to stepping in a circle in between the goons causing their strikes to miss. She then as she met each thug delivered a fast and powerful strike to their stomach or ribs causing them to double over. Once that was done She flapped her wings as hard as she could to try and give her mentor an opening by pushing the wolf back. She then with a mighty jump and a simple flap of her wings returned to the darkness of the rafters where she silently began to chase after the running goons making sure not to pass them as they went. 

"Remember Angel. Wait, watch and then strike.

Angel made sure to stop and crouch down in the rafters every time the goons stopped to speak. There was defiantly something more going on here besides a monthly gangster meeting was. The question still remained however as to what that was exactly. As she waited for the situation to develop Angel found herself hoping that Maya could handle their fuzzy friend without aid, and that she wouldn't get hurt.

s Angel waited in the rafters it wasn't long until the remaining thugs ran in to the room she was perched in Angel smirked a bit, but decided to watch for a little while longer to see if she had been right about the warehouse actually being used for something, or if it was just a meeting place of sorts. As she watched she heard Ultra Violet's voice come in through their com link connection, and tell her not to get in over her head, to report in and if told to pull back then to do so. This last bit caused Angel's smirk to fade as it sounded a bit like Red Horn who didn't trust her. Angel just decided to take a deep breath through her nose and chalk it up to this being their first mission together. Angel just pressed her fingers to the com link in her hearing aid, and spoke softly.

"Understood. Angel out for now."

As she watched Angel noticed that a few of the thugs were trying to find something through the darkness Angel had forced upon them while one was rushing for the back door of the warehouse. This was rather odd. Why would the thugs who knew that a pair of heroes were after them take the time to try and find something instead of just booking it. There was something important here that they refused to leave without. Whatever that was Angel had no clue, but she did know one thing. She wouldn't let them escape with it. As the goon heading toward the door was about to reach it Angel launched three feathers down above the man's hands to startle him back before jumping from the rafters and spreading her wings to glide down toward the ground with a grin.

"Now now boys, it's a school night! I'm gonna have to call your folks!"

This taunt caused the thug by the door and one of his buddies to rush Angel. The odd thing was that Angel out of the corner of her eye saw one of the few remaining thugs running away from both his friends, and the exit as if he had somewhere more important to be! Whatever was in all of the crates in this warehouse wasn't nearly as important as something else that this thug was trying to get to! As said thugs reached her Angel decided to catch their punches, quickly spin with both and then throw them both across the room so they would slam into the closed back door to hopefully knock them out. Angel then took off after the final thug while pressing her fingers to her com unit.

"This is Angel! Most of the thugs are down and out, but one of their friends booked it toward another room. The back entrance is blocked off, but whatever they are doing here doesn't seem to be as important as something that's in here! Probably some stolen loot, or the like. I'm in pursuit! Angel out!"
