"Dad do you think the fire item will work better now?" Nanako asked.
"I'm not sure, but it's worth a try." Dojima said before having Junes Dojima use a Firecracker and deal fifty points of damage. "Well that tells us his Quad Converge doesn't effect items."
"Well at least Yukiko can deal some damage." Adachi said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, that's true." Dojima said thoughtfully. "For now though Kanji needs to guard and Teddie needs to keep us healed up."
Suddenly Rise appeared and charged up and focused everyone.
"I take it that's a good thing?" Adachi asked.
"Yeah, it's probably one of the best things Rise can do." Dojima said. "Basically it means we're automatically Mind Charged and Power Charged so every one of our attacks should do far more damage."
"I get it, so now Yukiko can do a significant amount of damage right?" Adachi asked before Dojima had Yukiko use Agidyne. "Yeah, that did a good amount"
"It helps." Dojima said before Kunino-Sagiri used Maragidyne again. "Though if this Quad Converge doesn't end soon it could be problematic."
"Now that you mention it, Teddie is starting to run a bit low on magic isn't he?" Adachi said thoughtfully.
"No, Teddie needs to keep everybody safe." Nanako said.
"Yeah, and we still have Chewing Souls if we need them." Dojima said. "We should be alright for a while longer."
"Chewing Souls?" Adachi asked in confusion.
"An item that restores our magic." Dojima said.
"Oh, do you think physical attacks would work dad?" Nanako asked.
"It's worth a try, but that means switching back to Sraosha." Dojima said calmly. "Ok let's see here Brave Blade."
"Ok that was definitely useful." Adachi said.
"Yeah, but something tells me we're far from done with this battle." Dojima said. "Now Kanji can hit the boss with Primal Force, Teddie can heal and Yukiko can hit him with another Agidyne spell."
"That makes sense, so hopefully that means we'll beat this thing and rescue the Nanako-chan in the game quickly." Adachi said just as the game mentioned that the atmosphere had reverted and Kunino-Sagiri physically attacked Teddie.
"What does that mean dad?" Nanako asked.
"If I had to guess it means we don't have to keep using fire anymore and can use other types of attacks too." Dojima said thoughtfully. "Well hopefully that should make taking the boss down easier."
"Does that mean that Kohryu's electric attack will actually do some damage this time?" Adachi asked.
"There's one way to find out." Dojima said switching back to Kohryu and trying Maziodyne.
"Ok, that definitely did a lot more than last time." Adachi said.
"Yeah, now Teddie can hit the boss with ice." Dojima said calmly. "As for Kanji and Yukiko, I have something in mind."
"What do you mean dad?" Nanako asked.
"Matarukaja." Dojima said picking Kanji's move. "Then use one of our Diamond Shields to boost our defenses."
Just as Dojima had Yukiko use the Diamond Shield Rise appeared and restored the party's SP.
"That's definitely useful." Adachi said before the boss used an attack called Control. "Wait, please tell me that doesn't mean what I think it does."
The moment those words left Adachi's mouth, Yukiko, Kanji, and Teddie turned red before running to stand next to Kunino-Sagiri.
"Great, of all the things he could have done that just might be the worst." Dojima said in annoyance.
"Dad, we need to rescue everybody now." Nanako said.
"I know." Dojima said before Mind Charging again. "Well hopefully this doesn't end up hitting Teddie."
"Look Dojima-san, Teddie resisted the control." Adachi said before Kanji attacked Junes Dojima.
"That at least helps a little, there's a chance the others won't attack us." Dojima said only for Yukiko to use Agidyne on Junes Dojima and the boss to physically attack him. "Then again that's also a possibility."
"Yikes, that nearly killed you Dojima-san. So I'm guessing if they're under his control and you die that's a game over?" Adachi asked.
"Even if they weren't under his control if Junes Dojima dies it's a game over." Dojima said. "Which means for now we just need to focus on healing."
"Dad, don't we have that thing from the TV?" Nanako asked.
"Now that you mention it we do, but we should keep that in case the others manage to break free from his control." Dojima said. "For now we should switch to someone who can heal us back to full strength."
"I might be wrong Dojima-san, but if you have twelve different personas to use and the boss could take control of your team members why didn't you just fight him on your own, wouldn't that have been easier?" Adachi asked.
"No, we need to work together to catch the bad guy." Nanako argued.
"If you say so Nanako-chan, but something tells me it would have been easier." Adachi said
"Adachi, if we fought the boss without anyone else we would have died a long time ago. Especially if he hit whatever we happened to be weak to when he attacked." Dojima said while switching to Ishtar. "Alright, now let's heal up and try to keep Junes Dojima alive until that control wears off."
"Ok." Nanako said before Teddie attacked Junes Dojima but Yukiko and Kanji resisted the control.
"Wait, why did Teddie attack us this time?" Adachi asked. "I thought he could resist the control."
"It must be random if they attack or not." Dojima said thoughtfully. "The question is can we survive another round of attacks?"
"Well if Yukiko doesn't hit us we might be able to." Adachi said. "What do you think Nanako?"
"We need to stay safe dad." Nanako said.
"Yeah, I agree." Dojima said. "Which means we should switch back to Kohryu and then guard."
The moment Dojima said that, Kanji, Teddie, and Yukiko broke free of Kunino-Sagiri's control.
"That's a good sign, with any luck we'll do enough damage that he uses a different type of strategy." Adachi said thoughtfully.
"We'll have to wait and see, but something tells me there's going to be more to this than we realize." Dojima said thoughtfully.
(Dojima, Nanako, and Adachi are continuing to battle Kunino-Sagiri and he has revealed the extent of his control ability. Next chapter the battle will end. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
