"this is it, John. once you enter that room, you will begin the hardest battle in your life." John said to himself once more.

He stepped into the room. The doors closed behind him and nearly got his hood stuck.

"you're a God-Tier, this'll be cake." John said. He suddenly remembered his dad, and the sadness in his voice was obvious. "i bet he's fine."

"oh, look who's here."

"what?"

"oh, John, you don't recognize me? i'm SO hurt."

"that's… that's me!"

"who are you talking to, John? there's no one here."

The only difference between John and the Other was the Other's yellow eyes.

"shit, John. you gonna just stand there and wait to die? because I can't wait to GET STARTED."

"what… THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"

The Other grew in size, and turned into a giant green snake with a white head.

Typheus awoke. The big green snake coiled around the pile of grist slithered to face John. A large metal fence shot up behind it.

"shit… what the hell? oh well, it's my Denizen, right? guess I'll have to kill it… LET'S DO THIS SHIT!"

John did the windy thing.

The gust of wind was strong enough to lift Typheus, and as it was in the air, John equipped the full sized version of the Fear No Anvil and flew towards it. He bashed Typheus a few times and retreated.

"what? i only got its health down by so little? you've got to be kidding me. dammit, Vriska, I wish you could help me right now… shit! that's right!"

John equipped Vriska's D8 and threw the dice on the ground. All of them were 8s.

"THANKS, Vriska!"

John dual-wielded the Vrillyhoos, and bashed Typheus while avoiding all his attacks.

The Thief of Light was controlling all of John's luck. Every time he hit Typheus, he rolled an 8, dealing massive damage to it. Eventually, he was able to kill it. Typheus dropped the Hammer of the Ancients. It was the best hammer in the game. A few seconds later, John saw a flash of light. A smaller version of Typheus appeared.

"oh, SHIT, again?"

He heard a voice: I am thou, and thou art I. Thou hast defeated thy denizen. Thou shalt be blessed with Typheus, the Slumbering One. Thou shalt use thy Persona to aid thy allies in their battle against their Denizens. They too, shalt receive this power.

"a Persona? the fuck is that? how do I summon it? do I just shout Persona? let's give it a shot. PERSONA!"

Typheus appeared and darted forward, looking for enemies to kill.

"holy fucking shit, this is awesome."
