Chapter .10

Four days after summer vacation ended Minato was walking to school when he heard Fuuka calling to him. "Good morning!"

"Hey gorgeous, how do ya feel?"

"There's a full moon tonight. I'm getting worried because it's so soon after summer vacation."

Minato patted her back gently "We'll be fine, we've got two new team mates so let's just go in and blast it like always."

Fuuka smiled as he pulled her closer to himself. "You're very strong Minato-kun."

"I have to be." Ever though he was smiling he was dead serious.

That night everyone except Junpei and Ken is in the meeting room. Fuuka summoned Lucia to find the next shadow.

Ikutsuki stepped in. "Tonight marks the 6th full moon. Do you detect a Shadow?"

Fuuka spoke telepathically. "Yes. It's near Paulownia Mall I think."

"You think?" asked Mitsuru.

"For some reason, I can't quite pinpoint its location. But, I'm trying to narrow it down."

Akihiko was intrigued "Is that its power?"

"I don't know."

Shinjiro grunted. "We have enough to go on."

Ken runs in.

"Did you find Iori?"

"I can't find him anywhere. His backpack isn't here, so I don't think he's been home yet."

"That idiot... He knows tonight's the night!" Yukari wined

Fuuka's telepathy continue to scan but found very little more. "I don't sense him anywhere nearby. Should I take more time to look for him, just in case?"

"No, it's okay. You're all young; sometimes you just get in one of those moods. Anyway, we should focus on the task at hand." said Ikutsuki.

"Let's go waste that shadow, if Junpei's not here to fight then oh well, be on time next time." Everyone agreed with the fool and headed out, except Shinjiro who stopsMinato on his way out.

"Wait... Did he say anything earlier?"

"Not that I remember. why?"

"Alright." They walked out with everyone to the Paulownia Mall.

At the mall Fuuka summoned Lucia to find the monster. "Detect anything?" asked Mitsuru.

"Only a faint presence. It seems so close, but why!?"

Alright, let's split up and search for it. There's no time to lose; hurry!"

"Wait! Please, give me a moment! This is my responsibility!" Fuuka seemed to concentrate intently "Tell me, Lucia... What is this thing that deceives me? Hear the wind's answer in your ear... Touch the earth's answer with your fingertips... Taste the water's answer on your lips." Minato watched her with faith knowing how much stronger she's gotten. "Right beneath our feet... Some kind of webbing?"

"Perhaps it has something to do with the old power cables underground. They were just left there when the island's construction was completed." pointed Aigis.

Mitsuru was curious "Power cables?"

"Yes, they run underground in many directions, like a web."

And they're interfering with her ability?

Minato took a set on a beach waiting for some plan of attack. A minute later he noticed Fuuka having trouble scan, he got up and stood closer the the glass sphere. "You need some help Fuuka?"

"No, I can do this, thank you though." Minato saw that he was the only one to hear that. "I found it. It's close by in this mall!"

"Where is it?"

"It's inside a small chamber underground. It's rectangular, so I assume it's man-made."

"Escapade, it's in the club!"

"Great nicely done Fuuka. Everyone to the club escapade."

"What are you talking about?" asked Yukari.

"Fuuka found the target let's get it."

Mitsuru nodded. "Good job, Yamagishi. Alright, we'll make our move!"

Minato picked the seniors and entered the club. They found a large Shadow drawing energy from the cables crossing the floor.

"That's the source! It's connected to all those cables so be careful you don't get shocked!"

"I will Fuuka, now sit back and watched the slaughtering."

The shadow started charging energy and had a bright blue glow on it.

"The Shadow has a lot of electricity charged up. Please be careful!"

SEES called they're persona's and hammered on the shadow Minato got a bad feeling and switched his persona to Kingu.

The Shadow unleashed a strong electric attack, Minato and Akihiko were able to shack it off but Mitsuru and Shinjiro weren't so lucky.

"It has to charge up before using that one attack. Please be careful whenever you see the enemy charging!"

"Will do, Akihiko and I will fight this thing, Mitursu and Shinj cut some wires try to weaken this thing."

The battle raged on but when the shadow started losing wires SEES didn't need they're persona's to beat senseless.

"Congratulations. I no longer sense its presence. Also I think I've found Junpei. He's back at the dorm, but something seems Chairman's there too, so he should be okay. But, let's hurry back just in case." The leader nodded to everyone and they were off.
