"The next full moon is coming..." Minato mused as he laid back on his seat. The next expedition would take place in Shirakawa Boulevard, and that place held a lot of memories. "Steamy and horny ones..." The blue haired Fool recalled with a sigh, obviously to himself.
"Oh yeah," Hamuko nodded, writing her notes down. "Wonder what will happen this time..." She muttered.
"Hopefully, you won't get lost like last time," Hamuko wished.
"I hope so," Minato replied. Hamuko had saved Fuuka the last time and right now, Minato had no plans, other than getting back to the veterans who put him into the coma. And of course, Margaret who pretty added insult to injury.
... On second thoughts, maybe he had a plan. A smirk crawled onto his lip as he remembered that the shadow was adept at charming. "Maybe, just maybe, I can vent out all my pent up emotions."
"The price of forgetting about me..."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Never mind for now. Can you play support?"
"Not a problem,"
Minato snickered. "Then, time for some payback."
...
Minato was excited for tonight, he had confirmed from Fuuka that Tartarus was a little unstable and that worked to his advantage.
Of course, his night didn't pass as peacefully, since Hamuko dragged him into the lounge and kept bugging him with questions regarding summoning and personae. Mitsuru also took an interest in their conversation and that further annoyed the fallen one.
Minato let out a sigh as he excused himself and went back to his room for a quick nap. He needed all the rest he could get right now.
He woke up just before the Dark Hour and let out a hollow laugh. "Time to get cracking!" He donned on the same blood stained clothes from the last fight and altered his appearance to match that previous night.
A part of him was feeling a little nervous. If they somehow caught up to him then he would probably get killed. "Eh, can't play safe all the time." He muttered, teleporting out of his room.
...
Minato looked over the Sumaru City, while standing at the very top of the tallest tree in the district. He snickered upon the damage he had done during the last visit here. The entire district was under heavy repairs and the Suou household was no longer there.
Minato could sense the veterans, the weak brunette was there as well. "Find his location."
"Just a moment,"
Minato kicked the air and jumped into the skies. The fallen one let out a cruel laugh and switched to Helel. "Time to finish my job!" He announced.
"Armageddon!" Minato called upon the two behemoth entities from the sea of his soul, and the summoning sent a hot gust of wind blowing over the entire area, followed up a sharp increase in the temperature.
The ground beneath began to crack, blue flames slowly seeping out from the fissures.
"Holy hell!" Katsuya exclaimed, feeling his skin starting sting due to the increasing heat.
Naoya stepped out of the Hiirage Psychotherapyl. "What is happening there.." The veteran persona user ended up letting out a small gasp as there was a calamitous explosion of ever familiar blue flames and the destruction slowly spread across the other side of Sumaru City.
"Shit!" Naoya ran towards the scene.
Maya and Katsuya had already arrived to the place, but they were held at bay by the hellish flames that Minato had unleashed.
"Not again..." Maya mumbled. "The city can't take another one!"
Naoya finally arrived and cussed once again at the sight. "This isn't good..."
There was another horrific blast of flames on the other side of the city.
"He's going to destroy the city!" Katsuya shouted, pulling out his pistol and running for the other side.
"What can we do..." Maya mumbled.
"Beat him to death," Naoya replied, running after the police officer.
The district of Konan began to rot as well, as Minato easily slipped past the three due to the distraction and unleashed another Armageddon just to spite the veterans. He was going to get back at them in the most brutal way possible.
"The entire city is in flames," Naoya muttered, backing away to avoid the scattering inferno. And now, he was sure, these were the same wicked flames that the assailant unleashed upon the city the last time.
"Make it stop," Maya cried. "Sumaru won't last long like this!"
"Hello again, assholes," The cold voice snapped everyone back to attention. It was coming from inside the conflagration. They all recognized the voice all too well. "So fucking sad to see you again."
From amongst the hellfire, a very familiar teenager made his way to the open, black hair and purple eyes and the aura of a vengeful demon like Naoya had stated earlier. Same guy they beat to a pulp.
"You again?" Katsuya narrowed his eyes at the fallen one.
"We beat you to near death and yet you're still here?" Maya frowned at him while the black haired persona user remained silent.
A vein popped up on Minato's forehead when he was reminded of the one sided beating. "You bitch!" He snarled in reply. "I didn't forget that night and for that, you all will pay."
"Run or the same thing will happen," Naoya spoke up, promoting Minato to glare at him.
"I'll beat you the worst," Minato warned as the cruel flames scattered furthered. "You might have the strength in numbers but I'm far more blessed than you old types."
"I found him!" Nyarlathotep blared into his psyche.
"Get him!" Katsuya ordered and the three charged for the fallen one.
Minato snapped to attention and let out a hated scream. "Not this time!" The three stopped their charged and jumped to the side as there was another explosion of blue fire, it wasn't as horrific as the last two but it allowed Minato to slip away once again.
"Shit!" Maya cussed. "He's going for Tatsuya once again!"
"Let's take the other way!" Katsuya panicked. "Hurry!"
Minato sped past the flames and quickly made his way towards the place where the brunette was sleeping. The Dark God provided him with the directions and this time, it was a much smaller house.
"Don't kill him," Nyarlathotep warned, causing Minato to cuss. Regardless, he smashed the door open and stepped into the house. He looked around the house and sensed the weakling in the nearby room.
He ripped the door clean off, and the brunette jolted up straight on his bed, ready for a fight. The fallen one sneered and easily blocked the punch, and sent Tatsuya crashing to the ground with a punch of his own.
"I'm surprised you are still conscious," Minato complimented.
"What do you want!?" Tatsuya growled back.
"Simple," Minato kicked him on the head, knocking him out this time. "A meat shield." He lifted the taller male with ease and let out another cruel laugh. The fallen one reached into his pocket and took a gulp of Soma, restoring his SP.
"I need a full gas tank for this one," He chuckled upon hearing several loud footsteps. This was his sign to leave. "Come follow me, motherfuckers!" Maya only caught a glimpse of Minato jumping out the window, along with the unconscious brunette.
"Dammit!" She panicked. "He's taken Tatsuya away!"
"Let's follow him!" Naoya ordered. "Hurry, he might kill him just to spite us."
Minato laughed to himself, there was no way they would leave Tatsuya with him. That Maya chick was clearly attracted to him and he was sure that the group would follow him to hell itself.
"Add the police brother as well," Minato chuckled once again. "I've won this time!" He had a considerable lead on them but he was sure that they were trailing behind him. They had to.
Minato set his tracks for Iwatodai and the other three followed him. He quickly sped past the moonlight and nearly jumped in joy when he reached the Tower of Demise. "HOME!"
"Are you ready?"
Nyarlathotep chuckled. "Yes. Keep going."
Maya and the rest finally caught up to the fallen one and saw him moving into some sort of monstrous tower that reached to the skies. It unnerved her, most likely a trap but there was no way she would leave Tatsuya alone with someone demented as the asshole who destroyed nearly the entire city.
"We're following!" She declared, making the other two nod. The three veterans made their way into the tower.
"Welcome!" Minato greeted them, standing real close to the access point. "This is my home. This is hell." With that, he stepped into the access point and disappeared from view.
"After him!" Maya yelled.
Naoya had second thoughts about the whole thing. It was definitely a trap. The intruder was already strong enough to go blow for blow with him and playing in his home turf gave him a huge advantage.
"Right..." The black haired persona user nodded and took a deep breath. Like Minato had done before, the three stepped into the access point and disappeared from the lobby.
Minato still held on the unconscious brunette as he stepped foot into the labyrinth. "Where are they?"
"On the same floor, but on the far end side," Nyarlathotep informed.
...
"This place looks... scary," Maya gulped, pools of blood and scary looking faces sticking out of walls. This really looked like hell. "Where is he?"
"I sense him on the floor," Naoya said aloud. "I can't pinpoint his location though."
"Follow me, follow me!" Minato yelled out from the other side, his loud and psychotic voice reaching them. "As I trip the darkness!" He sang along, with loads of mockery injected.
"Let's kill him this time!" Katsuya gritted his teeth.
"He's gone," Naoya blinked.
"To where!?" Maya panicked.
Naoya looked above. "He's above us..."
"WHAT!?"
"We have to hurry, if we lose him then its all over!" The black haired persona user ordered.
"This is a tower, correct?" Katsuya looked around. "There have to be some stairs around."
"Let's split up then!" Maya ordered and the other two nodded.
Soon, the three found the staircase and with slight hesitation in their steps, they made their way up and ended up on a similar looking floor, the only difference being...
"What the hell are these things!?" Maya cried, as several black blobs and monsters circled around them.
"Are these demons?" Naoya mumbled.
"No, something entirely different," Katsuya replied. They seemed mindless compared to demons.
"HAHAHAHA!" Minato yelled, briefly stepping into their view with an insane smirk. "Either you save yourself and get the hell away from here," He punched the unconscious teenager, making Tatsuya grunt in pain. Maya's blood boiled at that.
"Or you follow me, in my home turf," The fallen one laughed once again, the moment was true good to be true. "If you do so, none of you will ever be the same!"
"GET HIM!" Noaya yelled.
Minato took back and yelled once again. "Last Judge!" Another insane smirk played on his lips. This was his game to win.
Welp, here they are. Inside Tartarus. He kinda won here because like I said before, Minato is smart.
Anyway, see ya later.
