Chapter 19: Full Moon Operations-Priestess
Location: Team DKSM Dorm
Time: 12:00 am
The Dark Hour once again commenced at Team DKSM's dorm and once again Makoto stood up from his bed and saw Pharos sitting on the one of the chairs in the dorm. He approached Pharos and begins their conversation.
"Why hello there." Pharos said.
"Pharos. Good to see you again." Makoto said.
"It's that time of the year again. The full moon will commence, and the Shadows grow even more dangerous." Pharos said.
"I know what happens and I what to do." Makoto said.
"But be careful, this Shadow is different from any of the ones you've face before." Pharos said as Makoto became curious.
"What do you mean?" Makoto asked.
"The Shadow that you will face is somehow infused with Horror blood. So you may need your friends on this one." Pharos said.
"How's that possible?" Makoto said.
"Maybe this Shadow is willing to adapt in order for it to become a better monster. Or someone is making these shadows more powerful for their own motives." Pharos said.
"Could it be that the rumors are true after all?" Makoto said. "That someone has been collecting Shadows for their?" Makoto said.
"That is an answer that you must look for yourself. For now I must leave you now." Pharos said as he stood up from his seat. "Farewell friend…" Pharos said. "Also that little girl you guys are with. She has an interesting power." Pharos said as he fades away. Makoto the scoffs after what Pharos said.
"He called me friend. That's a first." Makoto said as a voice in his head began to ring on his head.
"Thou shall have our blessing when thou choosesest to create Personas of the Death Arcana…" The voice said before fading away again from Makoto's head.
Having a conversation with Pharos throughout the entire hour has strengthened his power of the Death Arcana.
After talking to Pharos Makoto decide to head back to his bed then sleep.

Location: Cafeteria
Time: 12:00 pm
It was lunch time and all four team sat at a table for and Makoto tells them about tonight's full moon.
"So you're telling us right now that tonight will be a full moon and powerful Shadow will appear here in Vale and you need our help for that?" Dante asked and summarized everything Makoto said to the trio.
"Yes." Makoto simply replied.
"So how powerful this Shadow is?" Sora asked.
"Remember the one that attacked us at my first night here in Vale?" Makoto asked as his teammates nodded. "That powerful." Makoto said.
"It's going to be a tough one then." Koga said.
"It is." Makoto replied.
"The one that we fought at city, I felt a high level of malevolence in that Shadow. If we're going to be fighting something like that were going to have a hard time." Zaruba said as he was being raised by Koga.
"Not to mention that you stated that this Shadow has been infused with Horror blood. How that happened?" Sora said.
"I don't know. But we have to deal with it otherwise it'll cause havoc within the city." Makoto said.
"So what time do we meet up?" Ruby asked.
"Until we find the location of the Shadow, we meet up at the warrior's statue at the grounds." Makoto said.
"And how do we find this Shadow?" Jaune asked.
"I can scan the entire city with my trackers that I have placed within the kingdom." Aigis said as she opens a panel on her right wrist which shows a mini-map of Vale. "We can find the high level Shadow in any part of the city." Aigis said as she closed the panel.
"Now remember a powerful Shadow like this can only be eliminated by a Persona user. So me, Aigis and Koromaru are the only one who can kill it, but that doesn't mean that we might not need some help on its other attributes." Makoto said.
"You can count on us as always Makoto. Were your teammates." Koga said.
"You heard the man Makoto. No one on this table will leave you hanging." Dante said as Makoto then noticed all three teams starts nodding towards him.
"Then we'll meet tonight for "Operation: Priestess" be ready by then." Makoto said.
"Don't worry we'll be there." Vergil said as he and his teams starts leaving the table and head for the exit of the cafeteria.
"You can count on us dude." Jaune said as he and his team starts leaving the cafeteria.
"We'll see you guys later tonight." Ruby said as she and her team starts to leave the table and head to the exit of the cafeteria leaving Team DKSM alone at the table.
"We got a fight tonight boys." Dante said.
"This is gonna be fun then." Sora said.
"Just be sure that no one will be dying tonight." Koga said.
"It would be a great tragedy if one of us doesn't survive this." Zaruba said.
"I can assure you guys that least of our problems right now is either a broken bone or our grades failing." Makoto said as he and his team starts laughing then heard a voice in his head.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Fool Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
In discussing the preparations for tonight and determined to watch each other's backs. Makoto's power of the Fool Arcana has strengthened.
After having lunch the team decides to leave the cafeteria and head to class.
SOR
Location: Beacon Hallway
Time: 3:00 pm
It was the end of the class and Makoto decides to head back to the dorm on his own to prepare for the Shadow. He then noticed Team RRAT being confronted by Team CRDL and decides to get closer.
"Listen buddy I'll let you and your team pass by. If you just give us you're Lien." Cardin said.
"And I said no. Now if you excuse me we want to go to our dorm." Ryuga said as he tries walk pass Team only to be stopped by Russel.
"I guess you didn't hear me earlier. I said pay up or you won't get through." Cardin said as he jabbed his right pointing finger at Ryuga's shoulder.
But in a blink of an eye Ryuga grabbed Cardin's finger and starts wrenching it sideways forcing him to kneel to the ground due to the pain.
"And I said no. Now leave us alone." Ryuga said continues wrenching the finger.
Cardin's teammates pulls out their weapons then pointed at Ryuga thinking he might let go of Cardin. At the same time Ryuga's teammates also pulls out their weapons then pointed at Cardin's team. Tensions were brewing as both team still armed with their weapons at each other while Ryuga was still holding on to Cardin's finger. Makoto decided to step in and stops both teams. He pulls out his Envoker then summons Titan to separate both teams.
"That's enough!" Makoto said as he approached Team RRAT. "Listen, in about five minutes a professor will come out here and take a look on what's going on." Makoto said as Ryuga holds his sheathed sword. "Ryuga walk away. These guys are not worth it." Makoto said as he grabbed Ryuga by the shoulder.
Ryuga then slowly loosen his grip on his sword at his sword at the same time his teammates lowered their weapons and starts walking away. Ryuga then turned his back of Team CRDL at the same time Titan returns to Makoto's body who also walks away with Team RRAT. Cardin stood back and dusted himself off then checked his finger. He then turns to his team.
"Chicken." Cardin softly said as in a blink of an eye Makoto grabbed Cardin by the throat and dragged him on a nearby wall before being lifted by Makoto.
"If you want to live Winchester. Then I suggest that you keep that mouth of yours shut, before I claw my way into your throat then rip your spine from your body!" Makoto said as his eyes begins to glow red while holding Cardin by the throat.
After a few seconds Makoto calmed down then let's go of Cardin then starts walking with team RRAT.
"You didn't have to do that." Ryuga said.
"I tried not to, but the bastard deserved it." Makoto said.
"That's not what I meant." Ryuga said as Makoto looked at him. "Why did you help us? You didn't have to." Ryuga asked.
"Because you guys are new here and people want to take advantage of that." Makoto said.
"They won't do that. I'm a Makai Knight." Ryuga said.
"It doesn't matter if you are a Makai Knight or a Hunter. There are people in this world who will use you one day, so you better watch yourself." Makoto said.
"Then me and my team will try our best not too." Ryuga said.
"That's good to know. Just watch yourself." Makoto said as he heard a voice rang in his head.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Hanged Man Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
Preventing Ryuga to draw out his sword and calming him down cause Makoto to unlock the power of the Hanged Man Arcana.
After stopping the fight Makoto heads to his dorm and starts heading back at the dorm to prepare for the operation.
SOR
Location: School Grounds, Warrior statue
Time: 10:00 pm
Team DKSM with both Hector and Koromaru and Team VKRA with Damien waited for the other teams at the warrior statue for the operation.
"Aigis. Can you begin the scan?" Makoto asked.
"Affirmative." Aigis said as she opens the panel from her wrist and starts scanning the city. "I am beginning my scan now. This will take a while." Aigis said.
"Good." Dante said as he pulls out two boxes of pizza. "Cause I brought this along." Dante said as both teams except for Aigis starts grabbing a slice of pizza.
"You're still on to this stuff? You really never changed." Vergil said as he grabbed one slice of pizza.
"Though this is really good. I can see why." Kairi said while eating her slice.
"But I can go for anything sweet right now." Rei said while eating his slice.
"Say no more." Dante said as he hands Rei a chocolate parfait.
"Thank you." Rei said as he grabs the parfait.
Rei starts eating the parfait until both team RWBY and team JNPR arrives and join both teams.
"Hey guys." Dante said as he handed both team each boxes of pizzas.
"Ooh Nice." Yang said as she opens the box of pizza which her teammates each took a slice.
"Huh. Neat." Jaune said as he opens their boxes and his teammates took a slice.
"So what are we waiting on?" Nora asked.
"Aigis is scanning the city for possible Shadow spawning area." Dante replied while eating his pizza.
"How long will it take?" Blake asked.
"Not that long. The results are coming in a steady rate." Aigis replied.
"By the way where is the little rascal?" Dante asked.
"She's with Gonza today again as usual." Blake replied as Aigis's scanner found a possible Shadow location. "I have the location of the Shadow spawning area." Aigis said as Makoto approached her.
"Where?" Makoto asked.
"At an old train yard near the outskirts of the city." Aigis said as everyone finished up their pizzas.
"Alright. Man up! Let's go." Dante said as all four teams starts leaving the area.
SOR
Location: Abandon Train yard, Vale
Time: 11:30 pm
All four teams arrived at the train yard and begins their search for the Shadow's location.
"Let's split up. Find any clues that can lead us to the Shadow." Dante said as he pulls out his pistols. "And remember the Dark Hour is where the Shadows are at their strongest. Be careful." Dante said as he and his team along with Hector starts searching.
The rest of the group separated and search in different parts of the train yard for any clues.
Team RWBY begins their search in one set of broken rail cars stationed in the area. The team separated into twos with Ruby and Weiss investigating one rail car while Blake and Yang checked on another railcar.
Ruby climbed up the railcar then helped Weiss up on the car and starts looking around to find any traces of the Shadow.
"This is kind off creepy." Ruby said as held on to her scythe while slowly walking along the rail car.
"Why did we agree to this again?" Weiss asked while holding her rapier.
"Because they're our friends Weiss. They would do the same for us." Ruby replied.
"That I agree on." Weiss said as she noticed a notebook on the floor of the rail car which was owned by a young girl. "Take a look at this." Weiss said as she grabbed the note on the floor and starts reading it. Ruby also decide to take a look at the notebook.
The notebook was filled with drawing by a six year old using only crayons with stick figures of her along with her parents. The duo kept on turning the pages of the notebook until they reached at some parts where the drawings were getting gruesome. As the last four pages shows the image of the Shadow killing every passenger inside the rail car. Weiss dropped the notebook as both of them were frightened on what they saw.
"What was that?" Ruby said as they slowly step back from the notebook.
"Scary isn't it?" A voice said as a both Ruby and Weiss looked forward and saw a little girl wearing a white dress and was surrounded by white aura.
The duo screamed as they saw a real life ghost in front of them. Both were unable to move as they tremble in fear as the girl slowly walks towards them.
"Don't be afraid. I'm just here for my notebook." The girl said as she grabbed the notebook then slowly approached them.
"Please don't hurt us." Ruby said as she closed her eyes and hugs Weiss for safety who was also shaking in fear.
"I won't." The ghost girl said as Ruby and Weiss opened their eyes. "I just looking for a way out of here." The ghost girl said as both Ruby and Weiss slowly approached her. "But there is something here in this place that wants to hurt you and everybody." The ghost girl said.
"What do you mean?" Weiss asked.
"The thing in my notebook. That thing wants to hurt you." The ghost girl said. "You have to destroy. When the clock strikes twelve, which is the perfect moment for you to destroy it. Otherwise it will hurt more good people out there." The ghost girl said.
"Who are you?" Ruby asked.
"There is no time for that. You must destroy this creature tonight." The girl said before fading away.
"You heard that right?" Weiss asked as Ruby nodded in response. "We have to tell the others. Weiss said as she and Ruby starts exiting the rail car.
While being separated to both Ruby and Weiss Blake and Yang decide to begin their search to a rail car which was still intact. Yang searches the outside of the car while Blake checks the inside of the car. Yang then noticed four long strands of red hair hanging on one of the rail doors of the car.
"Hey Blake take a look at this." Yang said as she grabbed the strands of hair. Blake climbed down the rail car and checked the hair as well.
"So what? A strand of red hair hanging by the rail car." Blake said.
"A red strand of hair which just randomly hanging by the handle." Yang said as Blake jumps back inside the rail car.
Yang continues to check the outside of the car then noticed a locket on the ground and picked it up. She opened the locket and saw a picture of a red headed woman.
While Yang was examining the locket Blake kept on searching the inside of the car with her sword pulled out. She then stepped on something hard on the floor. She then picked it up and saw an engraving of the name of the owner.
"Michelle?" Blake said the name engraved at the bracelet.
Just as Blake said the name she then felt a chill on her spine knowing that she was being watched. She tightens her grip at Gambol Shroud then quickly turned around to see if someone was there but saw nothing. She took a sigh of relief then turns around then saw a spirit of a girl with red hair rushing towards her.
"Are you the one who said my name?!" The ghost girl said as she zooms in Blake who has her Gambol Shroud ready.
"Yes I did…" Blake nervously said as Yang jumps in the car and opens her Ember Celica then performed a fighting stance.
"That won't do you any good my dear." The ghost girl said as Yang heads to Blake.
"Who are you? What are you?" Yang asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I am ghost for crying out loud. And you just said my name" The ghost girl said as Blake stood back up. "Listen to what I'm about to say. The thing that killed me is here." Michelle said.
"What thing?" Yang asked.
"The creature that you are hunting for. A malevolent beast that hunts kills everything it sees. You must destroy it, otherwise people will get hurt." The ghost said as she starts floating away. "Remember when the clock strikes twelve the creature is vulnerable. It hides in the naked eye, watch yourselves." The ghost said before fading away.
"Okay that was weird." Yang said.
"She said that the Shadow can be killed during the Dark Hour?" Blake said.
"That's what I heard. Let's go." Yang said as they exit the car.
Time: 11:40 pm
While Team RWBY were checking on the cars in the train yard Team JNPR decided to check on the office area of the train yard. Ren and Nora checked the storage units where the equipment were being housed while both Jaune and Pyrrha checked the main office on the history of the country. While they searching any signs that could lead them to the Shadow, Jaune finally had the courage to ask Pyrrha an important question.
"Hey uh Pyrrha. Can I ask you something?" Jaune said while opening a drawer.
"Sure Jaune. What is it?" Pyrrha replied as she read one of the files in the office.
"Well you see…the dance is coming up, and I don't have a date for…" Jaune said as he turns to Pyrrha. "So…I kinda wanna ask you something…" Jaune said as Pyrrha stopped whatever she was doing then turned to Jaune.
"Yes?" Pyrrha said.
"I just want to ask. Will you be my partner to the dance?" Jaune asked as Pyyrha opens her mouth in shock.
Pyyrha then stood up then walked towards Jaune then gave him hug which he somehow expected.
"That would be a yes." Pyrrha said as Jauned hugged her back.
"Thanks." Jaune said while hugging Pyrrha.
As the two were having their moment Ren and Nora entered the office then saw both Jaune and Pyrrha.
"So what have you two love birds been doing?" Nora said as both Jaune and Pyrrha retracted from their hug.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Jaune said while Pyrrha was hiding her face due to her embarrassment.
"Well any case. We found something interesting." Ren said as manifest which writes about some missing equipment.
The team read the manifest and find out that date the equipment was missing matches with the date where one of the rail cars were destroyed. It showed that that the rail car was stopped at the middle of its trip only to be destroyed in three minutes after being stopped. The report said that the rail car was dismantled while its passengers were killed by an unknown force.
"You think this matches to the Shadow were looking for?" Ren said.
"I think so." Pyyrha said.
"Then we need to show this Makoto. Come on." Jaune said as he and his team leaves the office and look for Makoto.
Time: 11:45 pm
With the teams scattered to cover the entire area Team VKRA searched at one of the container cars. Vergil and Rei simultaneously opened the door and Aigis used her searchlight to find decomposed bodies which made Kairi vomit.
"Please close it. It's unbearable." Kairi said as she kept on vomiting while both Vergil and Rei closed the door. Vergil then approached Kairi and starts massaging her back to stop vomiting.
"You alright?" Vergil asked.
"Yeah. I'm a little better." Kairi replied.
"Traces of the Shadow is strong in this area." Aigis said.
"Which means that this is where it will appear." Rei said.
"Correct." Aigis replied as Damien starts to smell something.
Damien begins to bark towards another container as it door slowly opened and a group of Shadows which consist of Grave Beetles, Trance Twins and Interpid Knights appeared ready to attack the team.
"Aigis." Vergil said.
"One of them is not target." Aigis said as Rei pulled out his swords.
"Then they're basically canon-fodder then. Nice to know." Rei said while swinging his swords.
"Watch your backs and don't let them overwhelm you." Vergil said as he unsheathes Yamato.
"Got it." Kairi said as she summons her keyblade.
"Affirmative." Aigis said as she loaded her rifle attachment.
The Shadows rushed towards the team and begins to battle them. Rei easily cuts down two Twins before blocking a Knight's lance while pushing back. Rei then thrust the lance down before climbing it the cuts the head of the Knight before rushing towards another group of Shadows.
Aigis using her rifle shoots down Beetle from a distance then Palladion to take out a few Twins in the process before riding her then proceeded to take out more Shadows. While riding on Palladion Aigis used her rifle to take out most of the Knights that were in the area while Palladion thrust towards a Beetle then jumps off Palladion before taking out more Shadows.
Kairi evading most of the Shadow's attacks by a series of back flips before cutting down a couple of Twins with her keyblade before leaping on top of a Knight. She then cuts down the Knight before riding its horse. While riding the horse Kairi cuts down four more Beetles before jumping off the horse then cuts it down.
Vergil stabbed two Twins together then cuts them down before kicking one Beetle to face which cause it to fall on its back. Vergil delivers a thrust kick at the staggered Beetle which caused it to bounce around the area killing most of the Shadows in the area. The Beetle was spinning back towards Vergil only to be cut down in half by the Dark Slayer. Just as he was about to sheathe Yamato two Knights rushed towards him. Vergil then jumped over the Knights then in a blink of an eye he cuts down both Knights as he sheathes his sword before regrouping with the team.
Damien on the other hand finished off the remaining Shadows by tackling them then clawing and biting the Shadows before returning to his master.
"That's the last of them." Rei said.
"But I'm still sensing a powerful presence within the area." Silva said while being raised by Rei. "My theory that the Shadow will appear during the Dark Hour." She added.
"That is an affirmative. A powerful Shadow such as this can only appear during the Dark Hour." Aigis said.
"So we have to wait until the Dark Hour commence?" Kairi said.
"That's right. We have to be ready by then." Vergil said.
Time: 11:50 pm
Team DKSM were the only team left with no possible lead to the Shadow. So the team decides continue their investigation with the central area of the train yard. The team then separates in to pairs with their partners to widen their search. Dante and Koga along with Hector while Sora pairs with Makoto.
Dante and Koga inspects a rail car which was still intact. As they were about to climbed up the car Hector begins to sniff a presence of Shadows nearby. He then starts barking as both Dante and Koga approached Hector.
"What is it boy?" Dante said as Hector kept on barking.
"There are multiple sources of malevolence over there." Zaruba said as Koga pulls out his sword from his sheathe not before a group of Shadows appeared from another rail car then rushed towards the duo.
Dante starts firing his twin pistols towards the Shadows and taking out two Beetles the two Knights. He holstered his guns then pulled Rebellion from his back then rushed towards the incoming Shadows with Hector while Koga stood from his position while a group of Shadows heads towards him. Dante cuts down two Knights before punching a Beetle then used its body as a shield to protect him from any attacks by the Knights while rushing forward. He then cuts down the Beetle then continues to take out more Shadows with Hector biting and pouncing every Shadow that attacks him and Dante.
Koga stood his ground and waited for the Shadows that was rushing towards him. As two Knights got close enough he pulls out his sword the cuts them down in quick fashion before sheathing his sword. One Beetle rushed towards him with its horn, Koga simply blocked it with his sheathe the used his sword to cut down the Beetle with one clean swipe before regrouping with Dante.
While Dante and Koga were eliminating Shadows Sora and Makoto continues their search for the Shadow. Both were slowly walking while searching for the Shadow. As soon as they kept on walking they heard a scream of girl and rushed towards it without a second thought.
When they arrived where the scream came from they saw a girl being surrounded by Shadows attempting to kill her. Sora and Makoto rushed towards the group of Shadows to rescue the girl.
Sora fired a mix of fire and ice bullets towards the Shadows before cutting down a pair of Twins then rode a Beetle. He then used the Beetle to crush some Shadows attacking the girl before dismounting it then cutting it down. He then cuts down the remaining Twins surrounding the girl.
Makoto used his spear to combat three Knights before summoning Titan to aid him in the fight. Titan used his sword and cuts down all three Knights while Makoto stabs one Beetle by the face. Due to equipping Titan as his current Persona Makoto swings his spear around with the Beetle still hanging. Before tossing it to a nearby container car before regrouping with Sora and checked on the girl.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked as the girl nodded.
"What the hell is a girl doing in an abandoned train yard?!" Makoto angrily asked.
"Makoto! Come on man cut her some slack." Sora said while giving her his jacket then helped her stood up. "We need to regroup with the others." Sora said as he helps the girl walk.
"Come on. It's almost midnight." Makoto said as they walk back to the group.
Time: 11:55 pm
Teams RWBY, JNPR and VKRA were the first teams to regroup and gave their theories and background of the Shadow.
"We found something that can lead us to it." Ruby said.
"Same goes for me and my team." Jaune said.
"We found a possible location where the Shadow will appear." Vergil said as Dante and Koga walks out of the dark.
"Anyone else fought a bunch of Shadows in this place?" Dante asked.
"We did actually." Rei replied as he noticed that Sora and Makoto were not with them. "Hey, where are the other two?" Rei asked as both Dante and Koga starts to look around.
"I thought they were with you guys." Koga said as Sora and Makoto arrived with the girl.
"Don't worry we just ran into a little trouble." Sora said as he helps the girl walk.
"Who's that?" Ruby asked.
"We found her being attacked by Shadows. We rescued her and decided to bring her here." Makoto said as both Ruby and Jaune approached the girl and starts asking her questions.
While that was happening Zaruba begins to sense a high level of malevolence within the girl.
"Koga." Zaruba silently said as Koga placed him on his ear. Zaruba tells Koga of his suspicion on the girl. Koga then gave Zaruba a nod then approached Dante and told him what Zaruba said. Dante nodded the whispered Vergil what Koga told him before he gave Rei a nod.
"Alright, we'll get you out of here. Let's go." Ruby said as they start walking back until Dante and Vergil drew out their swords then halted the girl on her tracks.
"Hold it right there." Dante said.
"What are you two doing?" Ruby asked.
"Check her!" Vergil said as both Koga and Rei have Zaruba and Silva scan her. While this was happening the girl was pulling out a knife from her back.
After a few seconds of smelling, Zaruba and Silva finished their analysis.
"No doubt about it, she's not human. She is a Shadow" Zaruba said as everyone was shocked.
"To make matters worse, she is drenched in Horror blood. Which means she's the one were looking for." Silva said as the girl pulls out her knife and tries to attack Koga.
Koga was able to block the knife then pushed her back with a palm strike. The group surrounds the girl as she readies her knife. The girl took off Sora's jacket the jumps over the group then lands to a rail car and starts running away from the group. Hector, Damien and Koromaru gave chase to girl.
"We have to follow her. Let's go!" Sora said before being halted by Vergil.
"I may have an idea where it's going." Vergil said as he gave Sora's jacket back to him. "Let the dogs lead it there." Vergil said as he and all four teams' starts running towards the area Vergil investigate earlier.
Time: 11:58 pm
The girl kept on running towards the area where the containers are located before being cut off by the hounds. The dogs start barking causing the girl to step back and lean on a container van. All four teams arrived and immediately surrounds the girl and drew out their weapons.
"How long till Dark Hour?" Dante asked as Makoto pulls out his scroll.
"Thirty seconds." Makoto said as the girl begins to laugh.
"Guess times up." The girl said before sitting down while her back on the container.
"Dark Hour is now commencing." Aigis said as the clocks strike twelve and Dark Hour has begun. But just as the entire area has changed so did the girl.
Time: 12:00 am
It has the appearance of a young woman wearing only the bottom half of a dress, her whole body is covered in either white or black, with the letters B and J on her breasts. Her hair looks like scrolls with text written on it, which are stuck to the wall not allowing anyone to pass. She wears a red, butterfly-like eyemask on her face, indicating her Priestess Arcana.
"That's its true form?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah." Makoto said as he pulls out his Envoker. "And now we have to kill it!" Makoto said.
(Insert Persona 3-Masters of Shadow)
As the battle begins the Priestess unleashed a barrage of ice spells towards the four teams which separate them. The Shadow then unleashed another barrage of ice spells which the group evaded.
"Separate then find the perfect moment to attack." Dante said as Ruby, Pyrrha and Ren starts firing towards the Priestess.
The bullets were doing little effect to the Priestess. Koga and Rei rushed towards the Shadow with their swords. As they got close enough for an attack a black barrier prevents them from delivering an attack before being pushed back.
"What was that?!" Koga said.
"A barrier is blocking the Shadow." Zaruba said as Rei and Jaune rushed towards the Shadow and delivered a few slashes only to be blocked by the barrier.
With each slash they delivered at the barrier black liquid begins to drip splash out and begins to form up Horrors. In a matter of minutes, a small army of Horrors begins to defend the Priestess.
"What the hell?" Rei said.
"It's the blood that has been infused to the Shadow. It's calling out more Horrors from the Makai realm." Silva said.
"So how do we break the barrier?" Dante said as he cuts a Horror in half.
"A fire spell would do the trick. Burning off the barrier would give us an opening." Zaruba said. "But we have to deal with this mob of Horrors blocking our path." He added.
"We'll deal with the mob you guys take care of the Shadow." Vergil said as he unsheathes Yamato and Damien getting ready to pounce.
"You guys go on ahead. We'll be fine." Jaune said as he and his team are ready to battle the mob.
"We'll leave to you guys then." Dante said as both Koromaru and Damien pounced at a Shadow.
"Let's go then!" Ruby said as both Team DKSM and Team RWBY rushed through the mob and cut their way towards the Shadow.
While both team JNPR and team VKRA rushed at the mob to clear out the area. In a matter of minutes both team RWBY and DKSM plowed their way through the Horrors and confronts the Priestess which was still protected by the barrier.
"Sora, Weiss." Dante said as both Weiss and Sora stepped forward and started firing flame bullets towards the Priestess's barrier which was slowly dissipating.
The Priestess countered by unleashing another wave of ice spells towards both teams. Dante, Blake, Koga and Ruby stepped forward and cuts down the ice heading towards them. Yang joins both Sora and Weiss at shooting flame bullets towards the Priestess. With one final bullet the shield dissipates and Koromaru summoned Cerberus who starts mauling the Priestess. After a few seconds Koromaru calls back Cerberus then Makoto walks forward then points his Envoker to his head.
"Jack Brothers." Makoto said as he summoned both Jack Frost and Pyro Jack of the Magician Arcana.
In one final attempt the Priestess fired one final ice spell towards Makoto. Jack Frost intervened and absorb the spell then sends it back to the Priestess. Pyro Jack unleashed a barrage of fire bullets which caused the Priestess to burn. Both brothers looked at each other then rushed forward at the Shadow. Jack Frost clutched his fist for a punch while Pyro Jack ignites Jack Frost's fist for a combination attack by two Personas. Jack Frost punches the mask of the Priestess which caused to disintegrate before being completely destroyed eliminating it for good.
(End Song)
As the Priestess was destroyed so was the rest of the Horrors that were in the area. All three team regrouped and took a breather after a tough fight.
"Is that all?" Rei said.
"I scanned the area. There is no sign of any Shadows left." Aigis said.
"Then that's it then for now. Time for us to go home." Dante said as the entire group starts to walk away from the train yard.
"Wait." Zaruba said as the entire party halt. "I'm sensing an un-earthly presence nearby." Zaruba said as everyone starts to look around.
"Is it a Horror?" Koga asked.
"No it's something pure…" Zaruba said as the two ghost that appeared before Ruby walks towards the group.
"Hello there." The young ghost said as the teams turned around before she smiles towards them which gave Jaune a shock that he almost fainted. "I would like to thank you, all of you. You have destroyed the creature that killed. For that I am grateful." The ghost girl said as Michelle appeared behind her.
"It's time for us to go kid." Michelle said.
"Okay Michelle." The ghost girl said as Michelle fades away.
"Wait!" Ruby said as she steps forward. "Who are you?" Ruby asked the girl smiled.
"You can call me Cassidy. Farewell Ruby." Cassidy said as she fades away as she and Michelle has found peace.
"Wow." Ruby said as Makoto steps forward.
"You see Ruby when a Shadow takes a life of a pure innocent soul, they wander around Remnant until justice can free it. But when justice has been severed at Shadow the soul receives it freedom that it long for." Makoto said.
"That is beautiful…" Ruby said as a small tear falls from her face. Makoto wipes of the tear off Ruby's face.
"I know." Makoto said as hear a voice in his head.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Sun Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
Explaining to Ruby about the wandering soul and giving her an idea on their destination has unlocked the Sun Arcana for Makoto.
As the mission was over everyone started heading back to Beacon.
