"I can walk, no need to worry." Minato smiled, trying to stand up on his two feet, but he just collapsed instead.
"Hush." Elizabeth whispered, pulling Minato up, with visible difficulty.
"I can do this..." Minato mumbled.
"H-Hush." Elizabeth snapped, barely dragging the wounded teenager away, "It's the least I can do for you." Elizabeth gritted her teeth and pulled Minato away from the warehouse, obviously, she wasn't strong enough right now.
"I guess... it's easier to fall for someone who saved you." Minato muttered, blushing at how close Elizabeth was.
Elizabeth managed to drag him out of the warehouse. She rested him on the ground and panted, "That was quite tiring."
"I can manage it." Minato sighed, barely getting up, clutching the wall for support.
"NO! You can't." Elizabeth scowled, "Please, let me help you for once."
Minato sighed.
"Hohoho, what do we have here?" A gruff voice welcomed the teenagers' ears. Elizabeth and Minato turned around to see a thug, over 6 feet tall and muscular, grinning wolfishly at Elizabeth.
"Damn, just what we needed." Minato stood up again, ready for a fight. Although he could barely support himself.
Elizabeth gulped and backed away, hiding behind Minato.
"What? You're actually going to hide behind this bloody mess?" The thug laughed.
"Move it asshole, or I'll cut you in half." Minato growled.
"Hahaha." The thug walked over to Minato, "Say good night, kid- AH!" The brute screamed out in pain as he collapsed onto the ground, right in front of the two.
"Scram." A voice whispered, before another switchblade was sent flying into the forearm of the thug, making him howl from the pain.
"Who the fuck is there?" The thug demanded, looking into the shadows.
"Fuck off." The voice answered calmly, before another blade lodged into his gut. The thug screamed and cussed, before running away.
"And he called me a bloody mess." Minato scoffed.
"Yes, bow at greatness, you dumb shit." Minato sighed, that voice, those insults, no wonder who it was.
"Sora has returned." Sora said, appearing out of the shadows, "Remember me, sweets?" He grinned at Elizabeth.
"Who are you?" Elizabeth blinked rapidly and Sora's expression turned sour.
"I fucking saved ya!" Sora shouted.
"Thank you, I'll forgive you for the space cakes bullshit you pulled out." Minato narrowed his eyes at Sora, "Get us out of here."
"Geez, alright." Sora shrugged and pulled out some car keys.
"Where the hell did you get that?" Minato asked.
"Stole it from under my girlfriend's nose, pretty badass huh?" Sora grinned, "Come on, lets go all GTA!"
Minato and Elizabeth sighed.
...
"Woah, nice ride." Junpei said as a BMW stopped right on the road. The door opened to reveal Elizabeth, who was supporting a bloodied Minato to walk.
"Minato!?" Junpei yelped, cringing at the condition of his best friend.
"Sup?" Minato greeted with a curt wave.
"MINATO!" Hamuko literally jumped over Junpei and ran over to her cousin, tackling him to the ground, "You idiot. I was so worried about you. Look at you!"
"H-Hey." Minato mumbled, feeling the pain return once again.
"Don't hey me!" Hamuko hugged him tighter, nearly knocking the breath out of him, "Where's that gorgeous skankzilla? I'll hammer her for what she did to my cousin." Minato sweatdropped.
Elizabeth's eyebrow twitched. Seeing Hamuko being so close with Minato lit up a fire in her.
"Woah, normally I would clap at the blood, but are you okay?" Ruby asked.
"Seems like a truck ran through you." Terry blinked.
"More like a train." Ryder added.
"It was fast, powerful and brutal." Minato whispered, "She kicked my ass."
"No kidding." Kenji winced.
"Well, good to see Liz safe." Hamuko ran over to Elizabeth and hugged her. Ruby's eyes lit up and she hugged the both of them.
"Group hug!" She cried.
"Owww." Minato stood up again, "Well, thanks to-"
"Thanks to me, give credit, you rude asshole." Sora said, stepping out of the car and grinning at the gang, "Sup losers!"
"Why you mothercanucker!" Hamuko tried to charge and tackle him into the ground but Ruby held her in place.
"Why you bastard. Get the hell out before I make you my bitch again." Ryder snarled.
Sora walked towards him, grinning, "You're pretty sexy when you're angry."
"Sexy my ass." Ryder tried to throw a punch but Elizabeth spoke up.
"This vile, disgusting, rotting creature actually saved us. Spare him." Elizabeth announced, halting Ryder.
"Vile and what?" Sora glared at Elizabeth but cowered as Theo stepped in front of her.
"Saved you? Him? Pfft!" Ryder blew a raspberry.
"Actually, he saved us from a thug, while hiding in the shadows like a bitch." Minato smirked as Sora fumed with rage.
"You ungratefull lil bastards! I should have left you for dead." Sora scowled, driving away in his car, which actually crashed into a pole.
"God dammit!" Sora cussed.
"Hey, its alright, cars crash all the time, the world is an imperfect place." Ryder shouted, earning him a snap from Sora.
"What did sister had to say?" Theo asked, shaking.
"She said she would be back to test me." Minato replied, coughing out blood on the ground, much to the worry of his team mates.
"Get a doctor, you dolts!" Hamuko cried.
"No, just get me to my room." Minato said, standing up.
...
Minato immediately passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow. His persona healing ability would heal the wounds overnight.
Elizabeth opened the door to his room and sighed. Minato looked so bad right now, that it wasn't even funny.
She thought about lying next to him, but relented. Elizabeth placed the bowl of water and a cloth on the desk and grabbed a hold of a chair, placing it next to his bed.
Elizabeth sat on the chair and dipped the cloth in the water, before cleaning out the blood that was present on Minato's face.
"I can do this for you, at least." She smiled at the sleeping blunette, before wiping the blood off his lips. A blush spread across her cheeks, as she remembered the kiss they shared at the warehouse.
Elizabeth gulped, "Was in my heart beating like crazy?" She threw a quick look at Minato and felt her face grow hot.
Elizabeth fought back the feelings and continued cleaning up the blood on his face, "I might have to ask Hamuko-san about this."
...
Terry sighed as he adjusted the bag on his shoulder, "Damn teenage kids with their urges for parties." The gang actually thought of having a party, since they repelled Margaret and Elizabeth came back.
It was pretty dark, almost midnight. Terry had to take the back of Port Island Station, since the monorail was closed for some reason.
"Lady luck is not with me today." He chuckled, adjusting his cap, "Hell, when she ever was?" Terry was about to walk ahead but he quickly stopped and sidestepped largely, as a blade went flying, before sticking into the wall behind him.
"The hell? Come on out, ya assholes!" Terry snarled, throwing the grocery onto the ground and rolling his sleeves up.
"Little old man." Terry's eyebrow twitched, only one roided up jerk could say something like that.
"Rick, ya roid monkey, I'll kill ya!" Terry shouted to the shadows. Another round of blades were shot. Terry rolled away to avoid most of them, but, one of them got him in the arm, making him scream in pain.
Terry hastily dug the blade out and threw it onto the ground, before clutching his wound in pain. He wasn't completely healed after the counterattack as well.
Rick emerged from the shadows, shirtless as always, "You got wound?" He taunted.
Terry gritted his teeth and glared.
"You ain't going nowhere." Rick said, cracking his knuckles.
"That's anywhere, dumbass." Terry corrected him, "I mean seriously, you should get a beta, so he can correct your sentences up, before you speak."
"Shut the front door." Rick growled, smashing his knuckles, "You already hurt. I win autometallicaly."
"GOD! Shut up!" Terry growled, lunging towards Rick and throwing a one-two punch. Rick laughed and blocked the strikes with his forearm, before trying to nail Terry with a lariat, which he managed to dodge by ducking underneath.
Terry groaned and clutched the wound again, which was dripping blood. Rick grinned and smashed his head onto Terry, knocking him back.
"You not win here." Rick said, lifting him up and ramming him into the wall, multiple times. Terry fell to the ground and coughed.
"Tch, is this the end?" He asked, powering back to his feet again.
Rick charged in again and smashed his fist into Terry's gut, flooring him once again.
"Hehe, come on big fella. Come and get me." Terry laughed and stood up again.
"You got that." Rick hammered Terry again, before drilling another blade into his other arm.
"... The end?" Terry shook from the pain as Rick stomped on his gut.
"Heh, so be it..." Terry closed his eyes and just waited.
"Thank you. Hug, hug!"
"Hm?" Terry's eyes opened up and he looked up. Rick was ready to pummel him to death. Terry would be okay with it, it was all a good game, if he lost, nothing would matter.
"No..." Terry whispered to himself, "I can't die here... not after for the first time, cares about me... vice versa"
A certain power began to swell inside him.
"HA!" Rick launched his gigantic fist at Terry... Who blocked it.
"HUH?" Rick was pushed back by Terry who slowly stood up and cocked his head up, revealing a grin.
"Come on roid boy." Terry hopped on his feet and cracked his neck, "You want my life? Come and get it!"
"I'll wring ya neck!" Rick growled as he charged again.
"Per..." Rick came closer, "So..." He was mere inches away, "NA!" As Terry shouted the words, Rick was blasted back by a force of sorts, that was emitting from where Terry was standing.
"This feeling." Terry breathed out as his wounds began to close up, a bluish glow surrounded him, "Is this, my persona?" A card floated into his palm and Terry stared at it, it looked similar to a Tarot card, just like the ones that Minato and Theo use, if they had to summon.
Rick stood up and cussed, "You asshole."
"Come on, you wanted to fight, right? Tough guy." Terry mocked, holding the card in his palm.
Rick grunted and charged at Terry who grinned.
"Cu Chulainn." Terry shouted, crushing the card in his palm, which gave out glass shards, which soon collected at the back of Terry, forming into the epic hero.
Rick stopped in his tracks as the wielder of the Gae Bolg towered over him.
"Attack!" Terry shouted, and his persona obliged, throwing the cursed spear right towards Rick who was too awe struck to avoid it. It ended up hitting him right on the shoulder, craving a hole in.
Rick was push back from the sheer force, and ended up crashing into the wall.
Terry called his persona off and walked over to Rick, who was clutching his wound. Terry smashed his fist into Rick's face, multiple times, before smashing his head into the wall, twice.
"Like that?" Terry asked, grabbing a beer bottle and hitting him on his naked back. Rick screamed out.
"Shhh!" Terry silenced him by smashing the next beer bottle right on his head, "As they say, don't drink too much, or it goes straight to your head."
Terry lifted Rick up and smashed his spine into the ground, multiple times, before releasing him.
Rick slowly stood up and tried to make a run for it.
"Let me help you, Cu Chulainn." Terry summoned his persona again, who blasted Rick with a gust of wind, actually sending him flying away, into the darkness.
Terry panted as Cu Chulainn disappeared into mist, "Man, that was a persona?" Terry glanced at the card in his palm, "This game just got more fun."
He stood up and clutched the bag again, like nothing ever happened.
