The two Persona-Users watched the porcelain-skinned girl as she stood there, simply staring down the both of them.

"We are Nemesis... We are here for the Wild Card…"

Her voice made them both shudder, cold chills flowing down their spines like ice water. Minato gripped his sword as he spoke. "Who are you?"

"We already told you… We are Nemesis…"

Souji pointed his sword at the girl. "Why did you and that kid attack us?"

The girl looked at the young man who she had just killed. "We needed to bring you both together…We needed all traces of the Wild Card together for the ceremony…"

Her sentence was barely finished before a massive flash of energy enveloped her. Souji looked beside him, seeing a very angry Minato with his Evoker to his head, Messiah hovering behind him. "I'm fucking sick of everyone trying to kill me!" Another blast of energy slammed into where the girl stood. "You, Strega, Shadows… I'm sick of you all!" One last massive blast slammed into Nemesis.

As the smoke cleared though, Minato dropped to his knees. Three blasts of Megdolaon and the girl didn't even have a scratch. Her mouth seemed to turn into a small smirk. "Beautiful… We are impressed…" She lifted her finger. "Our turn…"

Just then, Minato flew back, slamming into a nearby statue. Souji's eyes grew wide. Neither of them seen any sign of an attack. Souji tightened his grip around his sword. "What do you want with us?" He needed to keep his cool. Maybe if he could find out why this Nemesis wanted them he could stop her…

"Like we said… We want the Wild Card…"

"But why..?" He heard Minato stand up and shuffle back over to him. He was holding his ribs, but he looked fine.

"The Wild Card is the true power of the gods…" She lifted her hand to the sky. "The chosen ones claim this power to protect their world… Those who wield it can stand against any darkness and triumph…" Her eyes shot a look that seemed to make their very souls shudder. "This power… We need it…"

Suddenly, she seemed to teleport in front of the two young men, her hands wrapping around their throats, lifting them into the air. Minato spat out a quick sentence. "What about the kid...?"

"A mere pawn… He was promised eternal life and he shall receive it when the gods fall…"

Her grip tightened around their necks, choking the life out of them slowly. "You want our power… To kill… Gods..?"

"The gods are your power…" Her hands squeezed tighter, her nails digging into their skins. "They are your Personae… Without them, you are nothing…" She smiled a small, sick smile. "With their power, we can end their oppressive reign… We can crush them and mold the world to our image…"

Minato closed his eyes. "You bitch…"

"We want to end the oppression of the gods…" Suddenly she let them go. "We only want to live without their control… Without their oppression… Without their mistakes… Is this wrong...?"

The two boys regained their breath, looking at the young girl. "We aren't stupid…" Minato's grip tightened around his sword. "You're just another sick bitch wanting to take over…"

Her smile became cold. "Foolish boy... We do not with to take your race over..." She seemed to chuckle. "Humanity is simply another bug… The gods protect you… They treat you like a treasure…" Suddenly, her body began to mold itself, her skin looking like a layer of armor formed all over her. Massive blades shot out of the top of her wrists. "You are not treasures… You are mistakes…" A visor seemed to flow from her skull, across her eyes. "You need to be exterminated… I can no longer wait for another to crush your race… But for our vision to become reality, we must kill the gods..." Her dark voice now grew colder. "Now, give us the Wild Card…"

Souji and Minato looked at each other. "What do you think?" Souji asked, a bit of worry in his voice.

Minato simply smirked, flipping his blue hair out of his face as his gaze met back with his new foe. "Nemesis, you're going to have to take it from us."

Then, for the first time in their confrontation, Nemesis opened her mouth, letting out a massive scream. It pierced into their hearts and heads, knocking the two of them onto their knees. Suddenly, a massive orb of dark energy surrounded the three of them. A cage, making sure they wouldn't escape.

Nemesis screamed again. "GIVE US THE WILD CARD!"

She charged at the two of them, the boys barely able to put their guard up before her wrist-blades smashed into their swords, knocking them both back. Minato shot back up, pulling the trigger on his Evoker. "Messiah!"

Messiah charged at Nemesis, the two locked up with each other. Souji then crushed his card, sending Lucifer into the fray.

The two Personae were powerful, but not a match for Nemesis, who kicked both the Personae away, sending them both back into their owner's souls.

"We will own the Wild Card! We will not falter!"

Souji looked back at Minato. "I think we might lose this…"

Minato laughed. "Man, that can't happen." He put his Evoker back to his skull. "See… I don't lose." He pulled the trigger. "Orpheus Telos!" Then a Persona appeared behind him, one that oddly resembled him, save for all the red and white.

Souji smirked. "I guess you don't…" His Tarot card appeared in his hand. "I don't lose either…" He crushed the card. "Izanagi No Okami!" A Persona dressed in all white then appeared.

Nemesis smirked. "Now, let us show you our true power…" Then three more wings sprouted out of her back, an ominous halo glowing red appearing above her head. A dark energy shined from her body.

The four of them stared down the girl. They all knew this was it, the best they all had. Orbs of energy began shining in Nemesis's hands, charging up for an attack. The two Persona-Users looked at each other.

"Well, I'm sorry we had to meet on such bad terms, man."

Minato smiled. "Call me Minato."

Souji smiled back. "Souji."

Minato smirked, looking back at Nemesis. "Well, Souji…" His Evoker was back to his head. "Let's make sure we hang after we take care of her."

"I'm game." His Tarot card appeared in his hand.

Then the young men charged, swords pointing at their enemy, ordering their Personae to charge in with them. All four swarmed into the Nemesis, who unleashed her blast of energy just as they made contact…
