"Phil! Tall ender dude!" Tommy hissed, poking his head around a corner. "They're coming! There's like- A million of them! And some of them have elytras!" Phil grabbed his kid and pulled him behind a crate in the alley.

"Thanks kid. Ranboo, just run, they won't be able to keep up with your teleportation. Wil, Tom, find your brother and get in the safety bunker." The elytrian instructed.

Wilbur's brow furrowed. "What about you? You need to hide more than us."

Phil smiled softly at his son but shook his head. "Trust me, they'll still want you two, and I've got... My powers, if you'd phrase it like that." Tommy seemed to accept this immediately and ran off to find his adopted brother, but Wil wasn't buying it.

"Dad, I'm not stupid, I know what dark magic does to people. You can't do that all the time." The kid sighed, reaching out hand towards his father's. "See? It's already taken effect. The decay is spreading." The two stared at Phil's hands, which were blackened, his veins glowing with a faint shade of purple under the skin.

The father sighed and nodded in acknowledgement, but sent the boy on his way. He knows way too much about these things, he's just a kid. He was distracted a moment later though by the sound of approaching footsteps, and lots of them.

Phil whipped around to see a group of about a dozen people about to walk into the alleyway, two with their crossbows fixed on his chest. A man stepped forwards from the group, a wickedly sharp spear held in his hands.

He grinned and barked a laugh "Ha! Here's one of them beasts!" He said in a hearty tone, advancing towards Phil. "Look closely boys. It has wings and feathered ears, but no other powers. What is it?" The man glanced back at his gang, who were advancing as well.

"An Avain!" One yelped, but they were shushed by another.

"No, it's an Elytrian!" A woman cried, pointing her axe at him threateningly.

The man in front of Phil nodded. "And how do we take down these creatures?" More chattering erupted from the crowd, and Phil gulped nervously. What am I supposed to do?! There's no way I'm outrunning them.

"Take out it's wings!" The group finally yelled, and the man in front of them yelled his approval before pivoting and hurling his spear at Phil. The elytrian dodged, leaping into the air and trying to fly away, but he was stopped by a person with elytra flying right in front of him, nearly slicing him in half with a long diamond blade. It still gave him a nasty bleeding cut, and boy, did it sting.

He ignored the blood seeping from the wound and turned around to pivot and fly the other way, but instead he was met with a huge net about to hit him. CRAP- NO-

It was too late to run.

The ropes tangled around his huge feathered wings, the iron weights on the edges of the net pulling him into the ground. Phil's shoulder slammed into an abandoned cart and pain exploded from the point of impact, but he did his best to ignore it.

The elytrian's wings flailed around, trying to break free of his bonds, but the ropes wouldn't budge. He had only just gotten into a decently upright position when he realized that he was surrounded on all sides by Exterminators.

"Awww... The little birdy is trapped, isn't it?" The sneering man in front of his crooned maliciously, his yellowed teeth bared in an extremely fake smile. Phil would have given up if it wasn't for the thought of these beasts getting their filthy hands on his children.

He forced a smirk and replied, "Oh, I wouldn't bet on it."

Phil focused all of his energy to this last ditch effort, whispering a dark incantation as he did so. His palms began to feel clammy and his chest felt empty, lifeless, and cold. It was almost painful, but not quite. It was something else entirely.

His feet lifted off the ground slowly, and the group around him readied their weapons, but the bows and arrows would be no use. He gritted his teeth, readying himself for what was to come.

C'mon Phil He urged himself on, squinting his eyes shut. Do it for Wil. Do it for Techno and Tommy. Do it for everyone.

He cracked open an eyelid for a split second to see the mass of writhing purple and black energy amassing in his now clawed hands before it exploded, and everything went black.

...

Phil came to in the shady alleyways of the Hub, his ears still ringing from the blast, with Wilbur and a familiar-looking sheep hybrid sitting nearby. It took them a few moments to realize that he was awake, but when they did, Wilbur instantly shot to his side, putting one hand on his shoulder.

"Are you finally awake?" He asked, exasperated.

He gave a small chuckle and nodded. "Yeah. Er- So, how long was I out for this time?" Silence fell on the small group for a moment before the sheep replied.

"You've been taking a little nap for two days, Phil." She told him flatly, crossing her arms. "You also need to get that 'magic' of yours under control, or just don't use it at all." Wilbur nodded, agreeing with her. He looked rather distressed with the whole situation.

"Puffy's right. You should stop, the magic keeps spreading and- I mean- It's getting worse. Look, you have claws now, and it's spread another several inches up your arm. You can't even control the actual magic itself, look where that ended up!" Wilbur gestured wildly to Phil's bandaged and bruised body.

The elytrian sighed, still feeling the exhaustion from the battle even though it was apparently days ago. "Fine. I'll stop, unless it's completely necessary. It's just that I don't want you or your brothers hurt, Wilbur."

The boy stared at him for a long moment, his grey eyes glistening slightly with held back tears, before replying "A-And I don't want you to get hurt either. You know that Phil."

They lapsed into silence again, before Phil nodded resignedly and fell back asleep.
