"With this your minor threat is extinguished." Zorc said calmly.

"This is bad, if Athena gets destroyed we'll have no options left to stop him." Ken said nervously.

"I know, but there's nothing we can do without our personas." Naoto said. "All we can do is hope Aigis-san has some sort of plan."

Suddenly a flash of blue light surrounded Athena as she vanished.

"No way, how did she do that?" Yukiko asked in shock.

"Never mind how she did it, the important thing is that her persona wasn't destroyed like ours were." Yukari said. "That means we still have a fighting chance."

With those words Yukari pulled out her bow and fired an arrow towards Zorc only for a shadow to freeze it with a bufu spell.

"Persona." Aigis said quickly. "Thanatos, Megidola."

The moment the purple orb appeared above Zorc, his eyes flashed and it dissipated into the darkness.

"I admit you're quite stubborn, however you must realize by now that there is no hope for your victory, your world will soon be eclipsed in darkness." Zorc said coldly.

"No, I do not care how powerful you are." Aigis said. "I will not allow our home to be destroyed, I will do whatever it takes to stop you."

Suddenly the other persona users began to glow as blue light flowed from them into Aigis. (1)

"Jiraiya, Magarudyne." Yosuke said quickly. "This is nuts, how much longer are we supposed to keep this up?"

"As long as we can, the others have their hands full dealing with Zorc so we need to handle these shadows." Akihiko said holding his evoker to his head. "Caesar, Marakunda."

"My turn, Kintoki-Douji Matarukaja." Teddie said enthusiastically. "Let's take them down."

"Of course, Artemisia Mabufudyne." Mitsuru said calmly as another group of shadows were frozen solid.

"Guys, something strange is happening to Aigis-chan." Rise said nervously.

"Strange good or strange bad?" Chie asked kicking a shadow.

"I think strange good, she's a lot stronger all of a sudden." Rise said.

"It's probably her Orgia Mode." Akihiko said. "Given the situation I'd be fairly confident that's what it is."

"I have my doubts, for now we should focus on trying to reach the others." Mitsuru said calmly.

"You won't be going anywhere." said a skeletal warrior with two curved blades. "You're all going to die here and now."

Suddenly an orange sword stabbed through the skeletal warrior's back and enveloped him in flames.

"Iori, when did you manage to get behind him?" Mitsuru asked in shock.

"He didn't do anything, you can thank my Flame Swordsman for that one." Joey said with a grin.

"That's right, in this dimension our cards are as real as our personas." Yosuke said.

"I'll let the others know, the more allies we can get the better." Rise said as Himiko appeared behind her.

"That glow, Fuuka-san does Aigis possess the same power as Yu-sempai?" Naoto asked.

"You mean the ability to use multiple personas, yes she has that power." Fuuka said.

"Then I may have an idea as to what just happened. Though I can't be sure why it happened." Naoto said thoughtfully.

"Who cares about all that technical stuff, the important thing is we take him down right now." Sho said confidently.

"Agreed, Sumeo Okami Maragidyne." Aigis said calmly.

"Sumeo Okami, that's your persona Yukiko-sempai." Kanji said in shock. "How come she can use it?"

"I don't know, but if Aigis-san has my persona she might have all of ours." Yukiko said.

"This doesn't change anything." Zorc said coldly as his eyes began to glow again. "Whatever power you possess pales in comparison to the lord of darkness."

"Yamato-Sumeragi, Mahamaon." Aigis said destroying countless shadows instantly and severing Zorc's arm.

"Incredible." Ken said in shock. "She beat him so easily."

Suddenly Zorc started laughing as his arm faded into the darkness and reappeared perfectly fine a second later.

"Perhaps you misunderstand your situation. Here in the Shadow Realm nothing you do has any effect on me at all." Zorc said before a red orb enveloped Aigis and her persona.

"This is bad, I can't get in contact with the others anymore." Rise said nervously. "Something really bad must have happened."

"It's worse than that, take a look over there." Chie said nervously.

"No way, is that Yasogami?" Yosuke asked in shock. "Why is it in the sky?"

"That's a portal, back to earth." Mitsuru said in shock. "Just what is he planning?"

"Wait, that's what they meant." Yu said suddenly. "Zorc is trying to plunge our world into endless darkness. He wants to turn our home into more of this Shadow Realm."

"Like we'd ever let that happen, these guys aren't worth our time. We need to deal with Zorc himself." Akihiko said urgently.

"I know, the problem is there's no way we can get there with all of these shadows in the way." Yosuke said nervously. "Any ideas partner?"

"One, but we have no control over it." Yu said. "I only hope that they decide to do something to help us."

"Wait, do you mean Marie-chan and that Margaret lady?" Chie asked in surprise.

"Yeah, they're both incredibly powerful so if anyone could help us out now it would be those two." Yu said. "For now all we can do is try and hold our ground."

"What in the world?" Bakura asked in shock. "The sky is turning pitch black."

"This is insane, whatever's happening is starting to effect us. This means the world is going to end within the night." Pegasus said nervously. "The others aren't going to be able to stop it."

"What are you talking about, of course they will we just need to give them a little more time that's all." Bakura said.

"You can see it for yourself, our world is being destroyed or worse." Pegasus said gesturing to the sky. "If this continues we'll all become permanent residents of a place where nightmares are reality, everyone on the planet will be placed in their own worst nightmare for eternity."

(Zorc has captured Aigis, and the Shadow Realm is beginning to envelop the earth. Next chapter another persona user will enter the battle. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
