"Are you really sure about this Dojima-san?" Adachi asked. "I mean this is something you and Nanako-chan have been doing together. Should you really just let me do this part?"

"We're all sitting here together Adachi, besides you've already come this far." Dojima said calmly.

"Well, alright Dojima-san." Adachi said before choosing the option to approach the game version of himself.

"Wow, I'm surprised you made it this far." the game Adachi said with a smirk.

"Allow me to confirm the crimes that you've committed thus far." Naoto said. "You had your suspicions this would was dangerous, and yet even so you threw Mayumi Yamano into the TV, and then even after learning that she died here you also threw Saki Konishi inside the TV before manipulating Namatame-san to continue your murder attempts."

"So, we both know that I didn't kill anyone." the game Adachi mentioned. "It was this world, something that I have no control over."

"What kind of lame excuse is that, you knew full well this place was dangerous. Even if you didn't know before the announcer showed up you threw Saki-sempai in after she was found dead. You knew exactly what you were doing." Yosuke said angrily.

"Yosuke-sempai's right." Kanji said in agreement.

"What would a couple of brats like you know?" the game Adachi asked angrily. "You have no idea how the real world works."

"We don't know how it works, you're the one who ran away once we figured out what you did. You're no better than a child throwing a tantrum." Yukiko said.

"Shut up, you damn brats have no idea at all." the game Adachi said before the screen transitioned to the boss fight.

"Huh, why didn't his shadow show up dad?" Nanako asked.

"I don't know, but this is your time to shine Adachi." Dojima said calmly.

"Yeah, I know." Adachi said nervously. "Ok well I guess the first thing to do is have Junes Dojima boost up everyone's defense just in case, and then Yukiko, Naoto, and Yosuke can try and deal some damage."

"That sounds like a decent enough start to me." Dojima said thoughtfully just before the game Adachi's eyes flashed on screen and a persona appeared above him boosting his strength, defenses, and speed. "Well, that explains why we aren't fighting your shadow Adachi."

"I guess so." Adachi said. "Do either of you have any ideas though?"

"Unfortunately not, we'll just have to wait for that to wear off." Dojima said.

"What about you Nanako-chan?" Adachi asked. "Huh, is something wrong?"

"That looked like the one we had." Nanako said in confusion.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Adachi asked.

"Wait a second, she's right." Dojima said. "That persona looked almost identical to Izanagi, well except being red."

"Do you think there's a reason for that Dojima-san?" Adachi asked while having Junes Dojima guard while Yukiko, Naoto, and Yosuke attacked his in game counterpart again.

"I'm not sure." Dojima said. Still, I can't help but have a bad feeling about this. I haven't seen Mayumi Yamano on TV recently either, he thought just as the game Adachi attacked the four members of the Investigation Team.

"Oh no, Yosuke is hurt." Nanako said nervously.

"I know, Dojima-san can any of Junes Dojima's personas heal him?" Adachi asked.

"Yeah, but wouldn't it make more sense for Yukiko to heal everyone?" Dojima asked.

"Maybe, but Yukiko is doing the most damage so she should be attacking so we beat the culprit quickly." Adachi said. "Plus if whoever made this game doesn't like me we might as well play along, I mean we both know this could never happen in real life."

"You have a point, Ishtar should be able to heal him back to full strength." Dojima said calmly. Since when has Adachi been so eager to fight, this is entirely different than his attitude on the job. Then again maybe he's just trying to make a show of things for Nanako but even so. (1)

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Huh, were you expecting company Dojima-san?" Adachi asked. "I can get it real quick."

"No, it's alright I can get it." Dojima said calmly just give me a second.

"Alright, no problem Dojima-san." Adachi said while Dojima walked to the door.

"Who is it dad?" Nanako asked.

"Nobody, it's just a letter." Dojima said before walking back to Nanako and Adachi.

"Oh, alright then Dojima-san." Adachi said. "Ok then, Garudyne isn't doing much, so let's try Brave Blade instead."

"That makes sense, worst case scenario we don't do much damage and have to heal Yosuke back to full strength." Dojima said calmly before Yosuke attacked the game Adachi.

"Damn brats, you have no idea how the real world works. I'll have to teach you a lesson the hard way." the game Adachi said coldly as his persona reappeared and scared Yukiko and Kanji.

"Nanako, didn't the first bad guy do that?" Adachi asked nervously.

"Yeah, we need to make them feel better or they'll get hurt." Nanako said. "The bad you in the game will beat them."

"That's what I thought, oh by the way who sent the letter Dojima-san?" Adachi asked.

"It didn't say." Dojima said looking at the letter.

"Huh, that's weird." Adachi said in confusion. "Do you think it came to the wrong address?"

"No, it definitely was addressed to us." Dojima said. "Though if I were you I'd focus on keeping everyone alive. The letter will still be here."

"Alright, if you say so Dojima-san." Adachi said thoughtfully.

"How interesting, it seems that they have almost reached the end of their trial. Perhaps this cycle will finally be the last." Igor said with a small grin.

"It's entirely possible, though I doubt this will be the last we see of our guest." Margaret said calmly.

"True, all we can do is simply wait and see where our guests journey will lead him." Igor said calmly.

(Nanako, Dojima, and Adachi are battling the game Adachi, and a mysterious letter has arrived. Next chapter the battle with the game Adachi will end. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)

(1) (Dojima is suspicious of Adachi's actions and what they've learned during the game. He's not completely sure if Adachi will end up killing Mayumi Yamano but he's planning on keeping a close eye on him just in case of emergencies.)
