"Wait what" Minato said with a frustrated look on his face.

"Miss Kirijo has hurt you more than anything before. Usually you are emotionally detached from everything ever since the car crash that killed your parents" Igor said explaining the exact depth of the pain.

"B-but I'm stronger then that" Minato said trying to show he was stronger than the kid ten years , the kid who was absolutely destroyed where he used countless masks to protect himself from the pain of the outside world. The one time he left his masks on the floor and let himself experience real emotions and it came crashing down on him.

"Aaaah but it was your ability to hide away from the pain and misery that made you a wild card , but now ever since you let yourself experience human emotion to leave yourself unguarded to help you develop real bonds you have been wide open to pain and suffering" Igor said honestly not wanting to break down the kid but he had in order for him to be stronger.

"I am s-stronger then that" Minato said now on his knees with tears rolling down his face.

"But now you have less masks from lack of use , but the ones who have returned your calls have returned stronger than ever to aid you in your hour of need. Use orpheus he has been through a pain similar to yours he will guide you to becoming stronger to be able to face the pain head on without a mask" Igor said now trying to build Minato back up even greater than before.

With that Minato rose to his feet and felt a familiar sensation the pure exhilaration , the sound of smashing glass and the feeling of a true person coming to his aid in his hour of need.

"Thank you Igor I needed that" Minato said with a smile.

"I believe it is time for you to go now school has finished in your world" Igor said as elizabeth opened the door for Minato to exit through.


He felt indestructible for once in his life he felt like he could do anything.

"I shall always be by your side Minato" Orpheus said in his mind.

With that Minato smirked and quickly found himself running to find an old friend of his.

When he had arrived he soon found himself thinking if was alright to just waltz into the place where he worked instead of calling him a head of time. But in his current mood he didn't care. When he walked inside he soon found himself getting stared at by multiple workers of this facility.

When he had arrived on the top floor he found that secretary was staring at him almost trying to demoralize him from approaching her at all but he continued as if he wasn't getting the glare from hell.

"Can I see Tanaka" He said with a more cheery voice then what had been used in the last few days.

"No Mister Tanaka is busy" She said almost trying to get him away as fast as possible.

"Then what's he busy with" Minato said with an intense glare.

"H-hes well busy d-doing nothing" she said finally breaking underneath Minato's glare.

"I'll go see him straight away" Minato said walking straight pass the secretary into Tanaka's office


"Aaaah its good to see you Minato my boy" Tanaka said with an uncharistically big smile.

"Sup Tanaka" Minato said casually to Tanaka.

"Why are you here Minato just bored or want to chat about something important" Tanaka said completely forgetting why minato would want to come here.

"Im here about your offer for your developing music department" Minato said with a smile on his face.

"So are going to accept or are you here to bust my balls about it" Tanaka said jokingly.

"I actually I've decide I would like to as long as I get to sing whatever songs I want" Minato said hoping that Tanaka would agree

"Why of course Minato come see me on saturday" Tanaka said with joy in his voice.

"Sweet I'll see you then Tanaka" Minato said leaving his office and finding the secretary hiding in the corner.

"It seems were going to be seeing more of each other" Minato said faking a smile as he was leaving.


"Everybody were going to tartarus" Minato said bursting through the with a kick.

"what not again I'm still from keeping with you from last time" Junpei groaned.

"I'll come" Akihiko said hoping to improve his stamina and strength by learning from Minato's technique.

"Junpei dont worry im only going to need you to help distract the reaper because I forgot something last time I destroyed him" Minato said getting another groan Junpei.

"I'm going with Junpei on this one" Yukari said still tired and sore from yesterday.

"Eeeeeh I guess I could just you use Akihiko and Aigis" he said with a thinking look on his face.

"I will gladly accompany you" Aigis said

"Fuuka are you coming" Minato said as he looked at Fuuka.

"Sure since I don't have to deal with the exhausting workout of keeping up with you" Fuuka said with a shy smile.

"Yukari you should come along and hangout with Fuuka" Minato said.

"Fine I'll come since you asked nicely" Yukari said while Junpei Grumbled something.

"Okay team awesome lets go" Minato said with a hint of happiness.

Leaving Junpei what had gotten into Minato to make him so cheery and happy.


As soon as they arrived at tartarus Minato gave a team plan for Akihiko and Aigis.

Now they were casually walking through tartarus when they heard the familiar sound of clinking chains.

"Okay used to go on a head and I'll see how much damage you can do buy yourself" Minato said with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

"Why don't you just kill it in one shot" Akihiko said questioning the point

"To see if your worth it" Minato said after changing his mind about Training Akihiko.

"Worth it for what" Akihiko questioned.

"You'll see if do good enough" Minato said with a smile as the reaper appeared.

"Shit cover me Aigis" Akihiko said running in while Aigis was giving him covering fire.

The room was soon filled With elemental explosions , sounds of dripping blood and bullet casings spread all over the floor.

"One more time Aigis lets go" Akihiko said cringing of the pain in his shoulder.

Aigis soon started shooting once more at the fearful shadow soon followed with Ziodyne hoping to at least knock down the shadow at least for a moment for them to heal up and rest but that was not the case with this shadow he was still standing as best as he could slightly hovering awkwardly barely able to even move his hands up to fire his twin pistols.

"Thats enough Ill finish it from here" Minato said not even pulling out a weapon.

"But its currently blocking physical attacks" Akihiko said to his leader.

"Dont worry" Minato said walking towards the shadow with a smile on his face.

This was going to be the first time he would even try to do this but he felt when he was in the velvet room , he felt the way the power flowed through his veins he was damn sure he going to be able to do this.

"Per...So...Na" Minato whispered as he was envelpoed in energy.
