"Wait, but if Junes Dojima is the one who can switch between the personas wouldn't that mean his shadow can't exist?" Adachi asked while having Junes Dojima use Salvation again before having Yosuke guard.
"No, if I'm right that's exactly why his shadow will be the toughest boss." Dojima said thoughtfully while Adachi had Kanji increase everyone's attack strength and had Yukiko guard. "His shadow will definitely be able to switch its strengths and weaknesses at will, not to mention we won't be able to during the boss fight."
"That sounds impossible, I mean if the boss can use any kind of attack whenever he wants how could we possibly beat it?" Adachi asked while Ameno-Sagiri increased his strength and accuracy.
"It won't be easy, but before we worry about that we need to make sure we stop this boss first." Dojima said thoughtfully.
"I guess you have a point, so everyone should guard so they stay safe from his next attack right?" Adachi asked.
"Yeah, we have to make sure everybody doesn't get hurt." Nanako said.
"Of course." Adachi said just before Ameno-Sagiri charged up and dispelled the fog.
"He's clearly planning something powerful so for now we should just guard again." Dojima said thoughtfully. "The boost Kanji gave everyone should last for another two turns after this so we're safe to guard for now."
"If you say so Dojima-san." Adachi said while having everyone guard just as Ameno-Sagiri used Nebula Oculus again before attack Kanji. "Ok, so now we just have to heal up and then deal as much damage as possible."
"Exactly." Dojima said calmly while Adachi had Junes Dojima heal everyone and had Yosuke use Dekaja again. "Now the question is should we hope Torrent Shot hits him three times, or should we go for Primal Force and try and deal as much damage as possible?"
"What do you think Nanako-chan?" Adachi asked.
"Um… I don't know." Nanako said before yawning.
"Primal Force could deal more damage, and it sounds like you're getting sleepy Nanako." Dojima said. "Which means we need to win fast so you can see what happens before going to sleep."
"I guess that answers that." Adachi said while having Kanji hit Ameno-Sagiri with Primal Force only for him to get a critical hit. "Wow, you were right about it doing a lot of damage Dojima-san."
"Yeah, one more hit like that and we should win." Dojima said thoughtfully. "In fact, depending on how much damage Yukiko's next attack does to the boss we just might be able to get away with not healing next turn."
"Really, but she only has thirty SP left." Adachi said. "Isn't that why we had her stop healing?"
"Yeah, but she can still use Agidyne twice so if we're lucky that'll do just enough to beat him." Dojima said calmly.
"If you say so." Adachi said while having Yukiko hit Ameno-Sagiri with Agidyne. "I don't know Dojima-san, it's really close if we'll be able to win or not."
"I know, but for now all we can do is wait and see what happens." Dojima said. "Either we'll beat the boss and be one step closer to the end of the game, or we'll lose and have to try again in the morning."
"We have to beat the bad guy." Nanako said suddenly. "We need to win so when big bro gets here he can play with us too."
"Big bro, you know your cousin might not be like the person in the game Nanako-chan." Adachi mentioned. "I mean, do I look like someone who would hurt people?"
"No." Nanako said before looking down.
"Well we'll have a whole year to get to know him." Dojima said. "Besides, even if he's not exactly the same I'm sure you two will get along well."
"Really?" Nanako asked. "Thanks dad."
I just hope I'm wrong about him, Dojima thought just as Ameno-Sagiri tried to hit Yosuke with Bufudyne before hitting the entire party with Agneyastra.
"That was close, if that was a critical hit we might have lost." Adachi said nervously.
"Yeah, but we haven't lost yet." Dojima said. "Which means we should have one final chance to win the battle."
"I hope you're right Dojima-san." Adachi said thoughtfully. "Then which persona should Junes Dojima use for the final attack?"
"Sraosha, he has just enough HP left for God's Hand." Dojima said. "If we're going to try and win or lose right now we'll have to use our strongest skills."
"Alright, so God's Hand, Garudyne, Primal Force and Agidyne?" Adachi asked while having Junes Dojima change to Sraosha.
"Yeah, if that doesn't work we lose but it's our best option at this point." Dojima said calmly.
"Then I guess here goes nothing." Adachi said before having Junes Dojima and Yosuke attack Ameno-Sagiri.
"Do you think we'll beat the bad guy dad?" Nanako asked while resting her head on the table.
"We're about to find out." Dojima said while Adachi had Kanji hit Ameno-Sagiri. "If we lose, it just means we'll have to try again tomorrow."
"Ok." Nanako said just as Adachi had Yukiko use another Agidyne on Ameno-Sagiri causing him to start to sink into the ground as the battle ended.
"Wow, that was too close Dojima-san." Adachi said. "Was it your detective's intuition that said we'd win this one?"
"No, it was just taking a risk and hoping it paid off." Dojima said. "Then again there's still one more thing we need to do to beat the game."
"Uh-huh, we need to beat our shadow to win right dad?" Nanako asked as her eyes started to close.
"Yeah, but for now we should save the game and get you to bed." Dojima said calmly.
"Ok." Nanako said sleepily.
"Well, if it's alright with you guys I think I should head home for tonight." Adachi said. "We can finish tomorrow right?"
"We'll have to, my nephew is getting here and if we don't want to ruin the ending for him we'll have to make sure we've won the game, right Nanako?" Dojima asked calmly.
"Yeah, it'll be fun playing together." Nanako said quietly.
(Dojima, Nanako, and Adachi managed to defeat Ameno-Sagiri and have nearly beaten Persona Four. Next chapter they will realize the key to getting the true ending of the game. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
