"Come on Akihiko! More!" Akira said as Akihiko kept waving swings at him.

"Seriously, Why though on doing this?" Akihiko said trying to catch his breath.

"Yu Narukami called me a chicken, Would you back down from him calling you that?" Akira said testing on how it works hard.

"No, Not at all really." Akihiko said as the boxing champion never lost a fight.

"Then I wouldn't back out either, I take things seriously." Akira said making his statement.

"Aren't you a little cocky coming into battles though?" Akihiko said as Akira took it a bit personally.

"Just no. Shut up, It's not what I do there." Akira said spouting out random words crazily.

"Okay then... You do seem like one of those kinds of guys being like that." Akihiko

"But to Narukami? Isn't that red hot?" Akira said as he began grabbing his bag.

"No it isn't?" Akihiko slowly guessed then answered.

"Then that's it... Just uh, Please don't tell anyone. But it's just us." Akira said as Akihiko was looking too see what Akira is up too.

"What is it like? A special event or something?" Akihiko guessed as Akira shook his head.

"I won't explain. It's a secret from you." Akira said as he was readying to leave.

"If you say so, Im beat suddenly. Is that good for you at all dude?" Akihiko said as sweat really rolled down from him.

"Yeah, I'll see if I can get my update later." Akira said to himself.

"Okay, Do what you want with Narukami." Akihiko said as Akira took a peek at him.

"See you soon Akihiko." Akira said.

"Yeah, Sure man..." Akihiko said trying to catch his breath.

"Hey, I got something on Narukami." Morgana said as Akira noticed his pal was hyped.

"What is it Morgana? Tell me quickly." Akira said knowing they don't have much time.

"The thing? Oh yeah, Narukami left the school. We should get ready." Morgana said.

"Okay, Just us two like he said." Akira remembered as he left. However, Minato and Yukari were nearby when they saw Akira leave.

"Whats up with Kurusu?" Yukari said noticing Akira's odd behavior.

"Shall we take a look?" Minato said, Yukari felt some chills however.

"I don't know, I don't like spying on people." Yukari admitted, Minato followed along.

"Me neither but some heat going on between Akira and Yu?" Minato said as there was a suggestion flying around.

"Hope not, Lets just go and see for the best of it." Yukari said as they followed Akira from a long distance, Akira used his app and vanished.

"He vanished... To the Shadow world?" Minato said as he looked at Yukari.

"Looks like it, But why though?" Yukari said to Minato, Minato remembered and wasn't happy.

"If there is another big shadow. I ain't missing out on it." Minato said rushing in and going into the Shadow App.

"Wait! Minato! Ugh, Idiot!" Yukari said being slightly annoyed, Hamuko came over.

"Let's follow him just in case..." Hamuko said to Yukari as they followed Minato.

3:54 P.M Shadow World.

"Hey you two.. Why so here?" Juan said as Joker was walking.

"Yeah. You got something up?" Chukya said as Joker noticed the small portal, He had an idea.

"Nah, Just block the portal cause I want to keep it secret." Joker said.

"If you say so Joker." Chukya said nervously.

"Yeah, We can do our best." Juan said being proud.

"Thank you both, Please be hard people!" Joker said being happy for the both of them.

"We will! Just watch us!" Juan said as Joker kept walking along, He found Narukami who was waiting... He then spoke one word that got Yu's attention.

"Narukami." Joker said as Narukami turned his head around.

"Kurusu, Or should I say... Joker?" Yu said as he stuttered a little, Joker lightly took out his dagger.

"Im here like you said." Joker said being ready.

"Alright, I bet you warmed up. Cause I am about too." Yu said being ready with his sword.

"Your damn right I am prepared..." Joker said as skimmed his Gun and dagger together making a small spark.

"Alright, We should settle this. It's best for our skills." Yu said as Joker suddenly was confused.

"Wait, Why did you ask to come here again?" Joker asked Yu.

"Remember when I was cornered? I needed to get my guard up on other enemies." Yu said reading himself.

"You gonna take it out on me?" Joker said as Yu refused in a no nod.

"No, I wanted to practice my guarding and awareness skills for more enemies so... Fight me." Yu said with his sword in hand. Minato who was a distance away called his friends over.

"His awareness?! Hey! Yukari! Hamuko! Look at this!" Minato said as the two came over.

"Minato? What is it?" Hamuko said as they didn't know what was happening.

"Yeah Minato, Whats going on here?" Yukari said as Minato wanted to show whats about to happen.

"Their gonna battle! Yu and Joker!" Minato said as they both took a quick look.

"Wait what!? We gotta see this battle!" Yukari said as the three of them took a peek, Joker took off his mask while Yu crushed his tarot card. Calling out their personas.

"Arsene, Eiga!" Joker said as Arsene fired and Eiga.

"Izanagi, Cleave!" Yu said as the Cleave blocked the Eiga, They flew so high they clashed many times... Yukari was watching in amazement.

"Those clashes are like warriors in a movie!" Yukari said as she was amazed seeing something awesome in real life.

"Someone might get hurt though..." Hamuko said as they felt something going on.

"They are going all out. Should we stop them?" Yukari said as she got her Evoker.

"Nah, It's best to savor our energy for battling but-" Minato said as a voice was heard that called them.

"What on earth are you three doing here at this time? Don't you got better things to do besides being here?" Mitsuru said as the three jumped and saw the student council president, Besides her was Ken.

"Senpai! Why did you-" Yukari said as Mitsuru interrupted her.

"Amada told me you guys vanished so I followed along, What are you three doing here? Is it another case?" Mitsuru said as they tried to explain the situation.

"No! It's not that! It's..." Hamuko said as another big clash happened, Ken and Mitsuru checked around too see the ruckus.

"Whats going on?" Ken said being scared a little as he checked with Minato, Just too see the clashing of Yu and Joker's personas. Then another voice was familiar to the group.

"What are you doing here?" Naoto said as Minato pointed upwards.

"Uh, Well it's that." Minato said as the Persona's kept using Eiga and Cleave. Down on the bottom was Joker and Yu clashing with their weapons.

"Is that Senpai clashing with Joker?" Rise said as Yu's sword clashed with Joker dagger. Then Joker knocked it away from him.

"Yes, So far Joker has gotten the upper hand." Hamuko said as Joker suddenly knocked Yu down.

"No! Senpai!" Rise said trying to rush in.

"No Rise, Stay back... Don't get brutally hurt from that!" Yukari said lightly grabbing Rise's arm from pain.

"But, Senpai..!" Rise said as she tried to stop the fighting.

"He isn't badly hurt... Just watch." Mitsuru said as the group kept watching the moves collide.

"Arsene! Eiga again!" Joker said as Arsene kept using Eiga.

"Izanagi! Zionga!" Yu said as the moves collided and made black smoke, Joker saw his open moment.

"Dream Needle!" Joker said as a suprise switch attack, A Dream needle came from the smoke and hit Yu, Then he began to feel sleepy.

"Wh- Zzzzzz..." Yu said as he snored from the hit.

"Senpai! He's asleep!" Naoto said in surprise. Minato knew his moves too well.

"Oh yeah, Dream Needle has a chance of putting you to sleep. Yu is now gonna lose." Hamuko said as Ken was watching.

"Yep... Thats game there." Ken said as Joker was ready to deliver the last blow.

"Cleave!" Joker said as Arsene knocked out Narukami with his own Cleave.

"Ugh! Ack... ugh..." Yu stuttered as he was feeling dizzy from the knockout.

"You alright there..? Here, Let me lend you a hand." Joker said as he helped a dizzy Yu up.

"Ugh... Man my awareness is kinda dizzy still and still sleepy somehow..." Yu said feeling weak a little bit.

"You okay? Want some help?" Joker said helping Yu.

"Here, Pixie, Diarama." Minato said as he healed Yu, Joker turned too see his friends who were watching the battle. An odd silence fell upon until it was broken.

"Minato? Your here?" Joker said as Minato nodded.

"Why wouldn't I? Also... We came along too..." Minato said as Yu got himself together, Joker helped him a little more.

"Feeling better after all that?" Joker said.

"Yeah thanks, Thank you for training me Joker, I got my awareness working now." Yu said as Naoto came to check on him.

"Senpai! Are you okay!?" Naoto said as Rise was checking for bruises around him.

"Im fine Naoto and Rise, Why are you all here?" Yu said.

"Well we didn't know what happened cause we never saw you. What happened? Big Shadow? Special item missed?" Mitsuru said as Joker gave a small answer.

"No, Just training..." Joker said chuckling as Mitsuru didn't laugh.

"Training? Wait, Who didn't tell us that?" Rise said as Yukari looked then whistled and tried to act innocent along with Hamuko.

"We saw you guys leave, We wanted to come in case you were in trouble." Minato said.

"Amazing battle to you both!" Juan clapped from the sidelines.

"Thanks Juan... Your nice." Hamuko gleefully said as Chukya ran to the group.

"You know... The portal comes from your phone app. It was used multiple times that it created one." Chukya said as everyone was surprised.

"Wait really? Where?" Minato said.

"We can show you. Come along!" Chukya said as they followed her and there was an actual portal.

"Wow! It really is a portal!" Hamuko said as she was amazed by it's colors.

"It's cool really, But sad that we can't pass but only you can." Juan said as Joker kept jumping through it.

"Can there be a reason it breaks and we are able to enter and exit?" Ken said to Juan.

"I don't know about it..." Naoto said, Juan tried to enter but he couldn't.

"Yeah, Even if you tried attacking... It won't work." Chukya said as she felt sweat.

"So no conclusions on that we can both escape?" Juan said to her sister.

"Sorry we can't, We used our energy... What did you do?" Chukya said feeling weak.

"Nothing but fail..." Juan muttered as Joker put his hand in, It went through.

"Well then, The portal on escaping seems hard... But don't freak out, You might enjoy our world soon." Joker said.

"Yeah, Do you know when though?" Juan said as they look like they were ready to leave.

"I don't know, Seems unbreakable to you... Well see ya!" Rise said as everyone left through the portal.

"It might be unbreakable... Unless?" Juan said staring into the portal.

"Brother? Your not thinking about..." Chukya said to Juan who looked like he was eager.

"I think so Sister, Just let me think. How to get across..?" Juan said as the day ended for the small training session with Akira and Yu.
