When Uryu returned to the guild, he required the help of Ichigo and his friends. Uryu met Orihime and the six of them formed a team for this job. He says that they're going against a dark guild by the name Black Talon and their biggest threat is named Korodo. They arrived in Protea Town which is where Black Talon is suppose to be.
"Okay, we're here. What are we suppose to do now?" Ichigo said.
"We need to figure out where Black Talon is going to strike." Uryu said.
"Why don't we just bring them out to us? We get to pound them down and it will be done and over with." Ichigo said.
"Use your head." Renji said. "How are we suppose to lure them out if we don't even know what they want? What's more is that we're dealing with a dark guild. They have practically no limits so they could use innocent people against us."
"They probably aren't expecting us so we have the element of surprise on our side." Uryu said. "We need to track them down before any harm can be done."
"I think I already found something." Chad said. He pointed down the road and there was a crowd gathering the front of the museum.
"We better go see what this is about." Rukia said as the six of them headed straight for the museum.
"Lash and Fists"
People were screaming as they demanded answers as to what was going on, but security was not letting them through.
"Everyone, return to your homes. We have this situation under control." A guard said. The team got to the crowd, but they still couldn't tell what was going on.
"Let's try to get a closer look." Ichigo said.
"I'm with you." Renji said. Both of them tried to squeeze through so they can tried to figure out what was going on.
"Chad, maybe you can get us through with that strength of yours." Orihime asked, but when she turned to talk to him, he was already gone. "Where did he go?"
"How could someone that big be so quiet and manage to sneak away?" Rukia said. Ichigo and Renji pushed through the crowd to try and get answers. Both of them got out in front, but Ichigo accidently shoved a guard and he noticed both of them.
"Hey, stay back!" The guard said.
"Sorry, but we just want to know what's going on." Ichigo said.
"This isn't a bar or anything for irresponsible teenagers so get lost." The guard said. The guards grabbed the both of them and tossed the two of them back to the other side of the crowd.
"Smooth move, Carrot Top." Renji said.
"It was an accident. Don't go blaming me when you couldn't have done any better." Ichigo said.
"We have to get inside. This might be Black Talon's doing." Uryu said as he tried to figure this out. "There must be another way inside, but there might be guards at every entrance."
"Wait, there's Chad." Rukia said. All of them looked over to the side and saw Chad and he was motioning for them to come his way.
"Maybe Chad found a way for us to get inside."Orihime said as all five of them went with Chad and headed around the building.
"Chad, did you really find a way for us to get inside?" Uryu asked.
"Sort of." Chad said. He showed them what he meant when he showed that there were a few guards were knocked out and there was a giant hole in the wall.
"The bad guys must have used this to get inside." Orihime said.
"I don't think so." Rukia said as the rest of them knew that it was really Chad's doing and knew Erza and the guild were not going to like this and they know what that woman is capable of. All of them walked inside and saw this place was deserted. "Anyone see anything?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Renji said.
"Chad, I know you're strong, but how were you able to knock down those guards and create that whole in the wall?" Orihime said. "Did you use it with your magic?"
"You'll have to wait and see. We're not alone." Uryu said and everyone grew cautious. They didn't see anyone, but that didn't last long. A gust of black colored wind blew around and all of them tried to block it out.
"What is this?" Ichigo said.
"This isn't wind. These are shadows." Uryu said.
"You guys are Fairy Tail wizards? This must be a joke if the guild sent you to fight us." The shadows cleared away and showed a bunch of wizards opposing Ichigo and his friends. Korodo was there as well as he was on a spiral of a shadow that he was actually standing on.
"Just as I thought. This was Black Talon's doing." Uryu said.
"These guys are Black Talon?" Orihime asked as she felt a little nervous.
"And I take it the guy on the giant spring is Korodo." Rukia stated.
"That's him alright. Remember to be careful. His use of Shadow Magic is powerful as you can see." Uryu warned. "What are you up to, Korodo? Why are you here?"
"I don't need to explain myself to you." Korodo said.
"I think you do." Uryu said as he held out the bow he carried. He pulled back the string and magic power was starting to build up in the form of an arrow.
"What's happening?" Orihime said.
"That's Uryu's Archery Magic." Rukia said.
"Archery Magic?" Orihime said.
"It's a type of holder magic." Rukia said. "Uryu can gather magic energy and form it into hundreds of arrows. Uryu is quite the sharp shooter with it."
"I won't ask again. Tell me what you're up to." Uryu said.
"If you want to know, you'll have to come and find out for yourself." Korodo said. Uryu decided to leave it alone and just try to take him down. He launched the arrow and it was soring straight for Korodo, but Korodo jumped over it and the shadow he stood on caught him. "You'll have to do better than that."
"I can do a lot better. Why don't you come down and have me show you." Ichigo said as he pounded his fist into his own hand.
"Sadly, I'm far too busy to deal with you. I've got other things to attend to." Korodo said. "Kill them, men. I'll handle what we came for." He had his shadow swirl around him and Korodo vanished without a trace. That left his men to deal with the team.
"Now what? We don't have time to deal with these guys." Rukia said.
"Not a problem." Renji said as he and Chad stepped forward. "Uryu, you and Ichigo go deal with that Korodo. The girls, Chad, and I will handle these clowns."
"Are you sure you can or are you just trying to impress the girls?" Ichigo taunted.
"Watch it or your hair will have traces of red." Renji said.
"We don't have time to bicker about this. Ichigo, let's split up." Uryu said.
"Fine if it means I don't have to deal with you two at once." Ichigo said. He and Uryu headed for two different halls to track Korodo down.
"You ready?" Renji asked Chad and he nodded his head in agreement.
"Can we really handle all of these guys?" Orihime said.
"Just let the boys take lead." Rukia said. "By the time these two get through, there won't be any left for us."
"Let's go!" Renji said as he and Chad dove right in and the members of Black Talon. "Lash Slash!" Renji held out his hand and a stretchable metal was shot out and hit some of them and knocked them down.
"Whoa! Metal that can stretch out? How did Renji do it?" Orihime said.
"It's called Lashing Magic. Renji can call upon elastic objects and use them for offense and defense." Rukia said. Chad took part in the fight as well. He held up his right arm and magic build around it. A black armor-like substance covered it with a red stripe running down it. He thrusted it forward and unleashed a powerful blast of magic.
"Diablo Fist." Chad called it.
"What was that? What happened to Chad's arm?" Orihime said.
"Chad uses a form of Satan Soul Takeover Magic." Rukia said. "For whatever reason, he only uses it around his arms. I don't know if it's intentional or if he can't fully control his magic."
"These guys are dangerous."
"What did you expect? They're from Fairy Tail."
"I'm surprised we even thought we had a chance." All of the members of Black Talon were starting to get scared. Renji and Chad continued their onslaught against these guys.
"Orochi Whip!" Renji had about eight snake like whips shoot out and lashed against some members.
Diablo Fist!" Chad shot out another blast of magic from his arm and knocked just as much down.
"Oh wow! They're both so strong." Orihime said as she was amazed. This was the first time she's seen the two of them fight and she can't believe that both of them are able to fight off all of these guys. "Is everyone in Fairy Tail this powerful?"
"More than you can imagine. These two aren't even S-Class wizards." Rukia said.
"S-Class?" Orihime asked.
"I'll tell you about it later." Rukia said. "Either way, they're making quick work of them. I told you we wouldn't have any left for us to fight." They are easily defeating Black Talon, but Korodo could be a different story.

Ichigo
Ichigo continued to go down the hall he chose and was trying to find Korodo, but there wasn't any way for him to track him down.
"Damn it. Where did he go? For that matter, I don't even know what he's after…and for that matter, I don't even know where I am." Ichigo said. He was becoming frustrated, but he doesn't know what was more agitating: the fact that he can't find Korodo or the fact that he's just running around without a clue as to where himself was.
….
Uryu
Uryu was down in a different direction as he tried to find Korodo. Uryu ran down a pass, but he caught something out of the corner of his eye. He ran back and saw Korodo was just standing there out in the open in an open area to the fresh air.
"I finally found you." Uryu said.
"So you caught up to me?" Korodo said. "I should have known better than to leave cubs to finish the prey." Uryu wasn't in the mood for him as he pulled out his bow and powered up another arrow.
"It's time you tell me what you're after." Uryu said.
"I already got it." Korodo said as he jumped back and went over the balcony. He caused another shadow to come out and catch him. Korodo brought his hands together and was building up power. "Shadow Prison!" The shadows moved up and it was a surprise to everyone outside. The shadows were beginning to come around the building. Ichigo and his friends saw through the windows that the shadows were trapping them inside and swirling around at incredible speed.
"What have you done?" Uryu said.
"I knew Fairy Tail would try and get in my way." Korodo said. "I was hoping to capture some of its strongest members, but it's better than nothing."
"What?" Uryu said.
"This is going to keep you guys here while I kill the guild masters slowly." Korodo said. "I'll trap them in the same prison that is impossible to break through. They'll starve and run low on power with me torturing them."
"Do you really think that will work?" Uryu said. "There's no way you can trap someone like Fairy Tail's master or any of them and take them down."
"We'll see about that. I can be artistic in torture when I want to be." Korodo said. "They'll starve, no one can save them, and I'll put them through hell. There are some people that would love to have a taste of that as well. Now, get in there." The shadows grabbed Uryu and were pulling him in.
"Korodo!" Uryu shouted before he was pulled in and trapped inside with the others.
"With that done, I'm of to Clover Town." Korodo said. He rode his shadow stand through the air to make him head for Clover Town faster. "We dark guilds have been left in the dark. Now, they'll see what it's like to be left there."

Orihime: Ichigo, can you really eat shadows and darkness?
Ichigo: Yeah, but I have to admit I have my limits. You should see Natsu. He never stops eating.
Orihime: I've noticed. He loves to stuff his face. Do you think you can take him in an eating contest?
Ichigo: Not a chance.
Ichigo: Next Time: Can I Eat It All?
Orihime: You know I have a few recipes you should try.
