7/23 Th, Yakushima, beach, Afternoon

"Let's dance!" "M.G.!" "Follow my lead, Kazuki!" "Gotcha!" We ran towards the man in front of us. He was wearing a grey hoodie and the hood was up, so we couldn't see his face.

I jump at him with my fist approaching his face. "That won't do." He sidestepped out of my attack and kicked me in the ribs; sending me flying into some of the trees. "ARGH!" "Kazuki-kun! Mitsuru-senpai, we need to help him" "We don't have Evokers on us, and we don't have any weapons, so we can't fight back!" The hooded man was walking over to Fuuka. "Get the hell away from her, You son of a bitch!" "Yamagishi-chan, right?" "You have no business with her!" Mitsuru stood in front of Fuuka… "If you think you'll get off this island without a scratch… You're sorely mistaken!"

I was right behind him, ready to punt his head off. "HAAAA!" He squatted down to avoid the attack. "Tch, don't get cocky!" I ran around him to his back, and I started punching in his direction. "You can't hit me at all." "We'll see about that!" I was throwing as many punches as I could, but he was dodge and moving my fist out of the way. "Is that all you can muster?" "Shut up!" M.G. was behind him; she went in to kick his head. "Damn!" She missed... "M.G., I'm sorely disappointed." "...!" M.G. took out a knife and started slashing at the hooded man.

"Why does Shizuka have a weapon!?" "I don't know, Mitsu-Mitsu-chan, but I'm gonna go find the others!" "Okay, be careful, Arisato...!" Minako left the area...

"You want to use a weapon, then I'll use weapons of my own." He withdrew his hands from his pockets… He was wearing gloves.

"Let's fight!" M.G. moved in on him. She trusted the knife towards where his heart is. He grabbed her by the wrist. "You're out of your league, woman." M.G. was caught in his grasp. "You need to stop making assessments, right off the bat!" M.G. used her right leg to kick his neck; he caught it. Now she used her left leg to hit up under his chin. He dodges by tilting his head back. "Got you!" "Huh?" M.G. threw her knife past his head. "Not even a scratch." He said with a hint of cockiness. "What the...?" For some reason, the knife was coming back to them. "*Gasp*" The hooded man released her from his grasp. He bent his back down-backward to avoid something.

"Clever girl… You tied some wire to that blade. And I think I don't need to ask how it's not cutting your fingers, right now." "You discern that much. ...This might be a bit tougher than expected."

M.G. began to swing the wire… "As you said before: let's dance!" M.G. was swinging the blade in the enemy's direction. She was using the blade and wire with the intent to kill him. The hooded man sidestepped out of the attacks way and made his way to M.G. She Swung the wire to her left. "Not good enough." He jumped into the air. "Let's keep going. Tarukaja, Sukukaja!" Two different colors surrounded the hooded man now. He landed behind M.G. and began to punch near her head "Sukukaja!" A green light surrounded M.G. She was dodging his punches, but one managed to scratch her face. The hooded man moved behind her in the blink of an eye, and he did something to damage her. "ARGGH!" "M.G.!" She was sent flying back and landed on her back. "Huh!?" The hooded man was in the air, above her, and was descending at an alarming rate. M.G. rolled out of the way… She then switched to a different knife. *Slice* "...!" She hit him! "Nice one!"

"That blade…" The hooded man tor off his left sleeve. "What is he doing?" Fuuka asked as she was coming over to me. "I don't know?" He pressed on the wound and blood gushed out. "Damn, how did you figure out that you were poisoned!?" "Studying - it makes for the perfect practice." "So you studied all the weapons I use." "Had to, or else I wouldn't have known about the poison."

M.G. threw the knife away and she began to reach for something in the remains of her sleeves. M.G. pulled out some wires and began to pump SP into them. "Then you should know this trick as well…" "I think I do." The SP was starting to turn blue and also started getting more spikier around the edges. "Do you know about this, then?" "I do, however, there isn't much info on it. ...And I'm betting you kept it like that." "Maybe, maybe not." M.G. ran towards the enemy… She swiped the electrical wires his way. "Missed, now it's my turn! Black viper…!" A dark-red orb appeared in his hand. He threw it at M.G. "Well, if you want more information on this move, here you go!" She swiped at the ball of almighty energy, and the ball changed direction. "What the…!?" "Such a shame and I thought that ball would destroy my wires. You had me worried." "Let's keep at it, then. ...I might get lucky and destroy them."

He continued to throw orbs at her, and she kept deflecting them. "Think fast!" He threw an orb over to us… "Fuuka, hold on!" I pick Fuuka up and I dodged red orb. "Ha, you think I make M.G. mess up or something like that!" "Just watch…" I saw something coming from the forest… The black orb appeared! "M.G., WATCH OUT!" "Huh!?" This one was faster this time; fast enough for M.G. not to be able to react in time. *Slice* "ARGGH!" "M.G.!" The orb slice her side...

"Diarah- "That won't do…" The hooded man went over to her and kick her at her wound. "ARRGH" "You really need to get yourself under control, Emmy; yeah, I'm a call you that for now on." "Get away from her you bastard!" "What, do not like me doing… THIS!" *CRACK* "AAAAHHHH!" "RAGHHHH!" I ran over to him… "I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" "Predictable..."

I was coming right at him, and I was using most of Skeith's agility and strength… "That won't be enough, and you know it. Black vi- "We know that…" "Huh!?" I saw wires wrap around the enemy's arms… "You tricked me!" "Of course I did. Although, I can't say the pain wasn't real; but if that's what I need to suffer to win, then I'll gladly live with it." "You little-" "Kazuki, Now!" "I hear ya, M.G.!"

I summoned Skeith to my side. "Kick his ass, Skeith!" Skeith was gearing up to hit the enemy.

"I think it's time to introduce my Persona." A Red aura was forming from the enemy. "Mephisto: Magrava!" When he called out his move, I felt something weighing down on my body.

"(Grunting) What the...shit!?" "What's happening!?" Mitsuru was baffled by what was going on. "Mitsu-chan, don't come any closer! Instead, go find everyone else!" "Ri-Right…!" Mitsuru ran around us to avoid the sudden shift in gravity.

"What are you gonna do now!?" I demanded answers… "I don't know, really… It all depends on one simple factor; a phone call. But although that leaves me with a problem, I'm becoming bored! So I bought this with me…

He threw a sword on the floor. "Hey, that's my-" "I went over to your dorm before coming here, and I have to say this: your security is a joke. ...And honestly, you need to hide your things better."

The gravity around me began to feel lighter. "Pick up your sword." "Why!?" "To kill time, of course. And if you don't, I'll just make the gravity heavier for them until their bodies can't take it anymore." "...Kazuki-kun, don't listen to him!" "Fine... " I pick up my sword and I take a stance. "...Let's do this!"

He was just standing there... *Pip-pip* *Pip-pip* "Oh, that must be mine." The enemy picks up the phone… "Yello? Oh, hey, boss…"

What did he just say!? "The boss?" "That's right, M.G. ...I know the boss, too." M.G. seemed shocked by this fact. "Whatcha need today, boss?" I went over to the enemy and I started slashing at him "Mm-hmm, yep...okay, understood." He was dodging my attack and talking on the phone, at the same time; he's just messing around at this point. "I see… Are you sure? Well, if it's okay with you, then okay. ...Alright, bye." When he got off the phone, he caught my last attack, by closing his phone on my sword, then he lands a blow on my gut.

"ACK!" "Sorry, but it looks like my boredom just died, So... " He pulled out a gem from his pocket. It was glowing purple. I also noticed he was hovering over the ground.

"Yamagishi, how is he levitating like that!?" "He must be using his gravity skill to levitate like that!" The gravity change is still affecting M.G. and Fuuka.

"Hey, stop using your gravity magic on them!" "Fine…" With the snap of the fingers, their center of gravity was restored. "Who are you," M.G. wanted to know. "Hmm… I guess I could say... Your replacement." "WHAT!" "Yep, hell, this was my initiation mission. And the boss even told me that I was satisfactory as your replacement. So, congrats, you aren't a member of the organization anymore. Guess you weren't as sneaky as you thought you were, huh?"

This news seems to have shocked and angered M.G. "Well, this was a fun trip to Yakushima. So sad I'll never be able to see this place in one piece ever again." "How come!" "Cuz, Kazu Kei, I'm gonna destroy this place." "How are gonna do that!? You don't seem strong enough to do that!" "You're right, but these guys are…

He threw the crystal in the air… It began to leak out a purple light, then, the whole thing broke; the purple light was shining brighter than the sun...

"What the hell…!?" "No, they can't be…!" "There-There-There power levels are... Too much!" We were looking up to the air, amazed and horrified by what we're seeing. "Shizuka-chan...are those-" "...Personas, yes, they are! They are Helel and Satan...!"

"Well, you guys, this was fun, but I think this will be the last I see any of you."

The Personas in the air were gearing up for something. "Helel, Satan: Armageddon…" The Persona's were forming some sort of attack on them.

"Kazuki-kun…" Fuuka clung to my arm; her eyes were blank. She was scared beyond belief… "Fuuka, go over to Rin and protect her." "What about you!?" I looked towards the Personas. "Kazuki-kun that's a bad idea! Don't do it…!" "Please go over to Rin and protect her; this could be bad if the both of you don't get any shelter from this." "But Kazuki-kun that's- (Muffled)

I kissed her… "Everything will be alright with you guys. So please, go over to Rin." Fuuka was blushing intensely. But she shocks it off and ran over to M.G. "Lucia!"

Good, Fuuka was protecting Rin. It's time to do this! I ran over to the Personas in the sky... "Kazuki, get over here!" "No can do!" "Kazuki you fool, you'll die if that hits!" "We'll see about that…" "Kazuki, get- Huh, Yamagishi?" "I don't want him to do this either, but we both know how determined he is; once he put his mind to something, it'll be hard to convince him not to." I heard what Fuuka said; I really don't want to be this stubborn, but I feel like I can do something to block this. I just need to use Ocean's stream! If this attack really is linked to how much SP I put into it, then I would be able to reflect it, right?

I began to pump my sword full of SP, Which turned into almighty energy… The Personas finally shot out there attack; it was a stream of almighty energy, and it was gonna come crashing down on me.

*BAM* "(Grunting) Holy...shit!?"

Somewhere on Yakushima, evening

I was looking at the two godly Personas in the sky, from a far away distance from the beach. "Nyarlathotep…" "Yes." He said with a shit-eating grin. "What will that attack due to an island like this?" "It has a great chance of destroying this whole island." "What about me?" "You'll live of course. I need you for greater things!" "Oh…"

I looked down at Kei-chan… "Why does the fool go the extra mile," I said with an annoyed tone in my voice. "Who knows…? Puny minded fools will forever be fools." "..."

Yakushima, beach, Evening

We were still watching Kazuki enduring the attack. Yamagishi said that the attack should have destroyed him. But no, he's still alive, holding off that attack. "(Grunting)" Albeit it looks like he's struggling, but there's something else going on here; something unusual.

"Yamagishi, do you see anything usual happening about Kazuki?" "N-No!" I see, so she doesn't notice. It must be due to all the almighty energy. But I feel it…

At this very moment, he's pouring all his SP into his sword. One would have drained all of their energy by now if they were to use the skill Kazuki is using; Kazuki including... However, that's not happening yet. It's like I said before: people have an untapped amount of energy. But I don't know how much exactly... Also, something else is happening. instead of all his energy running out, it's rising! His power is actually rising; maybe the shadow? Either way, this is a spectacle, to say the least

...

"(Grunting) RAAGHHHHH! OCEAN'S STREAM!" Kazuki did something unexpected... He launched the Armageddon attack back at the two Personas who created it. "What the hell!?" The enemy was surprised by this turn of events.

*Personas screaming* "*Pant* *Pant* *Pant* *Pant* *Pant* Hey, I just destroyed those Personas of yours! You wanna go!" I wanted to finish this one and for all!" "Kazuki, stop it! You aren't in any condition to fight" "She's right, Kazuki-kun! You need to stop!"

They were right… "Well, well, well… Looks like Mr. Kazuki is more than he appears to be… As much as I want to see how he ticks, I must make my leave." He began to walk on the air like it's nothing...

"Target sighted, now activating Orgia mode!" "Huh?" When I look over to where that voice was coming from, they have already jumped meters into the air. "Aigis!" I yelled out. Aigis was glowing a bit; oh shit, don't tell me she's trying to blow herself up too! "Palladion: Kill rush!" She tries to shot him and do some physical damage to him, but that was a fruitless attempt. "Magrava." "Crap, she got caught in it!" "What is this!? I cannot move!?" "Gravity magic, blah, blah, blah. So basically, this… With the flick of his wrist, he sent Aigis flying into a small bridge.

Crash* *Splash* "Well, that was boring..." He began to move away from the island… "Oh, before I go, I have a question for you, Emmy." "What is it?" "Why are you wasting time with these people, and why did you waste all your time with him?" M.G. didn't say anything. "Rin-chan, are you okay?"

The hooded man gave out a heavy sigh, loud enough to hear on ground level. "You know what, how about this: You sit on it for a while, and then you get back to me on it, okay."

He turned around in a theatric way. "Welp, it's been fun; sayonara..." He then flew away from the island…

Fuuka ran over to me. "Kazuki-kun...are you okay?" I stick up my left thumb. "Do you need help standing up?" "No, I'm just fine." Fuuka threw herself into me, and we both fell to the ground. "Fu-Fuuka?" "You dummy!" "Huh?" "You worried me! You promised me that I wouldn't need to worry about you anymore! Why did you have to do that, I thought you were gonna die…!

I didn't move at all, I just let her go on. And she began to sob a little. I put my hand on her head and I began rubbing her head. "I was an idiot for thinking that would work." "You're right about that!"

Nothing else was said. We just stood in the same position, quietly… "Fu-chan…" "Yeah…" "I'm such a hypocrite." "What makes you say that?" "...I'll tell you why, when we're back in our room." "Okay."

"Fuuka-san, get away from him!" "Huh?" I looked over to the broken bridge. Aigis was coming over to us. She had her guns ready. "Aigis, stop it! He isn't a threat!" "...I detect that he is one, so, therefore, he is one…

Fuuka walked in front of me… "If you think he is a threat, then… I'm a threat too!" "Fuuka, what are you doing!?" "Defending you." "...You don't need to do that!" "You'd do the same for me; so why not for you!"

I couldn't argue back. Wow, she had me beat… "Fine then, in that case…" I got up and I stood next to her. "...I can't let take the spotlight yet, now can I?" I was ready to fight, but truth be told, I was exhausted.

"It cannot be helped. Then you are my enemy as well…" Aigis had her guns pointed at us, but we didn't move an inch. Although Fuuka was shaking a bit, she didn't move at all.

Stab* *Stab* *Stab* "What the…!?" I saw a bunch of knives fly around Aigis's arms. "Why are you getting in my way?" "Because, you're gonna hurt the person that very well saved us, and an innocent person who didn't do anything wrong to anyone."

Aigis didn't move her arms at all… "If I were to shoot, you would pull back with the wire in your hand." "Yes…" Aigis looked at the wires. "They can always be rebuilt." "...!" "Yamagishi, your Persona!" "I can't summon it now." "Damn! Kazuki…!" "Sorry, Fuuka, but-" "It's okay, I trust Rin-chan with your life." "Wow, you make me sound like I can't handle myself. But I know what you mean, thanks…

I walked over to M.G. "Let's do this, M.G.!" "Kazuki, can you just call me Rin." "Why?" "You'll need to start calling me that from now on." "Um, okay… Let's go, Rin!" "Let's!"

Aigis was ready to go, and so were we…

"AIGIS, STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!" "Huh, Kirijo?" "Mitsu-chan!?" M.G. and I were surprised to see her right now. "Aigis, what are you doing!?" "Eliminating the threat." "What threat!?" "The one in front of me." "Shizuka and Kazuki?"

Mitsuru rubbed her temples… "Aigis, this is a new directive: You will not harm Kazuki, or anyone you deem threat-worthy, other than shadows, and opposing Persona users that I confirm are threats! ...Is this understood?" "Yes…" Aigis withdrew her weapons, and M.G. went over to Aigis to cut the wires around her arms.

"Heeey, Kazu…!" "Hmm?" I look behind me to find everyone else come out from the forest.

"Kei, what's going on!?" "Kei-kun, Fuuka, Rin... Are you guys okay!?" "Yes, we're okay Yukari-chan." Yuka-chan sounded relieved to hear that, and so was everyone else. I was happy to see them unharmed...

"But where were you guys?" I really wanted to know why they didn't just come here, right away. "We were attacked by monsters in the forest," Kio said with a straight face. "Shadows?" "No, they looked different than shadows; they were more coordinated than shadows, too." An enemy that's smarter than a shadow, and it's not even the Dark Hour...

"Hey, guys, look…!" I looked to where Junpei was pointing to… There was a ship in the sea. "It's the boat." I went over to Fuuka… "You okay?" "Yes, I'm okay." "Oh, good then."

Fuuka was blushing and fidgeting a bit. "Um, I think my leg is sprained though!" "But you said you were okay? ...And your standing." "...But, my leg!" "*Sigh* Fine…" I picked Fuuka up - bridal style.- "Kazuki-kun…" "Yep." " Thank you for saving us." "No problem…"

I kissed her on the cheek and she began to blush. "Wait, why is Kazu holding Fuuka like that?" "Well, Stupei, the thing about that is…" Yuka-chan told Jun about 'us'." "WHAT…!"

?, Unknown,?

I was walking to the main hall of our hideout.

"Yo, I'm home. And I bring some news. "That's good, what is it?" "Where's the big man?" "He told me to see you personally, for him." "Oh, alright, might as well. ...I confirmed that one of the anti-shadow units activated on the island." "How many?" 'One." "I see. Anything else?" "...I also had a run in with Kazuki." "..." "I was surprised at what he did with the Armageddon attack." "What happened?" "...He deflected it back at the two Personas." "Really..." 'You seem interested." "I am intrigued, somewhat." "Eh, whatever you say."

*Buzzing* "Looks like we are being summoned." "Yeah, looks that way." We began to make our way to the gathering place.

"Oi, Sadao." "What?" "He also had yellow glowing eyes when I pissed him off a bit." "Is that so?" "Yep." Sadao looked like was pondering on what I told him. "I see now, I'll relay this to the head." "Cool, on that note, let's get going." "Yes..." We made way to the gathering place...

"Kei Kazuki, he seems like a kid I like to fight against. What about you?" "He doesn't matter to me at all..." "Cool, then he's mine."

...

"You bitches aren't gonna land a single hit on him!" I drove my fist into the palm of my hand. "...Cuz he's mine!

Thanks to the power of Google docs, I was able to do this chapter with ease! (Sort of...) But seriously though, this chapter was not as hard to type down than I initially thought it would be. But on a bigger note, I was finally able to have Rin-chan's fight seriously in this story. Now as you might have seen in this chapter, Rin fights more strategically than any other character in this whole story; like for example: with the piano wire being tied with the knife, and yes, I know piano wire cannot kill a human being, but can only make a hole in you. But I thought "Why not, right." Also, I like to point out that Rin-chan wears her bodysuit under her clothes because she likes to be prepared at all times. (Except when she was wearing her bathing suit because she doesn't want people seeing her with all that equipment.) Also, for reference, let tell you what she wears for the summer. She wears her bodysuit under her clothes, but she wears a skirt with a checkers patterned design, of copper red and black. And for the top, she wears an all-white buttoned t-shirt, with her bodysuit sleeves sticking out. And that goes over her summer wear... Now finally, yes, I started a new series - Persona 4: reversed. Let me just say one thing about it before finishing up here; it won't be as long as this fanfic will be, but I'm gonna put the effort and the careful typing, I should have put for this story at first. And as a fact: I'm gonna go back and clean-up all the mistakes I made from my earlier chapters of this fanfic after I upload this chapter and the next chapter for Reversed. So with that all being said, please follow the story if you wanna be notified when I upload and leave what you thought about this chapter, past ones, and future chapters. So until the next chapter; see ya...
