The group made their way out of the control tower and into the airport itself. Following the map, they found an elevator that would take them to the underground complex that was the military base. The front doors were completely made of glass, and after they piled in and hit the button, it began its descent. Soon they found out why the doors were made of glass: Standing in front of them was a massive army, complete with with tanks, aircraft, and ground troops were stretching out in front of them in rows upon rows that seemed to stretch for eternity. The elevator came to a halt at a catwalk and the group survived the collosal force in front of them.
"This looks like an invasion." Morgana pointed out.
"A soldier once told me Kobayakawa plans to escalate Shujin's renown to global levels." said Shiho.
"And he's forcing me to gather blackmail material on Makoto, whom he sees as the last obstacle. If we don't give him a change of heart, you can bet that all of these will be deployed." Yu added.
"Alright ya worthless tramps, shuddup and siddown!" A man yelled. The voice on the other end was nasally, sick, and just plain uncomfortable to listen to.
"Just because some worthless brat is getting some intel for us doesn't mean ya get to sit around twiddling your thumbs up your asses! I've been burdened with making sure you measure up to glorious Kobayakawa's standards, so get your scrawny tushes in gear for practice! Failure to comply will land you on my shit list!"
Yu turned and looked at his teammates, who had looks varying from confusion to disgust.
"Was that… Morooka?" Morgana asked.
"I'd recognize that nasally voice anywhere. He's just as unpleasant in personality as he is in voice." Akechi answered with a grimace.
The four soldiered on, walking through the catwalk until they heard entered a small decontamination room. The spray from small tubes above started to coat them and the door in front opened up, along with a quaint little saying from Morooka.
"Congrats, you passed the anti-degenerate test! Now quit slacking off!"
As they tried to walk through the open doors, some unknown force pushed them back. An alarm suddenly blared. Immediately, Yu activated his new Third Eye ability to find an exit. Seeing a vent highlighted in blue, he quickly tore it off and the group crawled in just as a Shadow turned the corner to investigate the alarm. As they started to crawl through the vent upwards, they heard the same gravelly voice.
"Well well well. Looks like we got some snarky brats in our compound! They probably are a buncha weirdos who are gonna infect the servers with that pervert trash from the city! Everyone, get on alert!" Morooka ordered.
As the group crawled through the vent, the metal changed to steel grating, allowing the group to see through below them. They saw a man dressed in a dark blue military uniform with a star badge on it addressing two shadows. He had a short bowl haircut, yellow tie, but what stuck out the most was the buck teeth that poured over and covered his lower lip. When he spoke, his unpleasant voice confirmed everyone's unspoken suspicions of who he was.
"Alright you two, we got a buncha little shits crawling around! If you see any, be sure to give them an asswhooping they won't forget! I'll be in the command room if you're too incompetent to do your job."
"Let's keep moving, with any luck, this vent can take us right to that ass." Yu said, but the moment he took one step forward, the grating gave out under him, causing the four Persona users to fall right in front of the Shadows.
"Crap, thought that would hold!" Yu blurted out.
"Intruders!"
The two shadows dissolved and combined their tar puddles to combine into a few succubi. The Tricksters summoned their inner selves, with Shiho in the lead.
"Melt them!" She ordered, Boudica snapping her fingers at the demon women, explosions of fire erupting all around them in a critical strike. One of the demons actually fell from the burst of power, and Akechi spoke up.
"Allow me to take care of this! Robin Hood can take them all down."
"Alright. Pariah, let Ace handle this, then join Carmen and to prepare for an All-Out Attack." Yu ordered.
"Got it!" Shiho acknowledged, passing next Akechi and giving him a high-five. Akechi felt a surge of power from the passing of the baton, so to speak. Power he unleashed on the remaining two demons, the beams of light stunning the enemies. The group closed in, awaiting Yu's orders to finish them.
"What a powerful man. Would you please consider showing mercy?" One demon begged, her voice sultry and alluring.
"Perhaps. If you join my cause."
"Hehe. What? You lacking a girlfriend? I didn't think a hunk like you would have trouble getting women."
"I don't want a regular girlfriend. I want you."
"Oh my! Bold and direct! Just how I like- WAIT! I remember now!"
The girl floated into the air, the other demons vanishing into nothing.
"I am thou. Thou art I. From the sea of thy soul I cometh. I am Succubus, and I will aid thee on thy quest."
With that, Succubus turned into a mask and joined the company Yu kept inside his mind. The team gave various stares of disapproval.
"What?"
"Did you really need her Seeker?" Akechi asked.
"Yes." Yu answered much too hastily.
"Why?" Shiho asked, crossing her arms.
"Because she might've had skills we don't, and now, I know she does."
"Oh yea? And what skills are those?" Morgana asked with a frown.
"Mudo. Curse magic." Yu countered.
"Are you sure it was that, and not the fact she was a sex demon?" Shiho asked.
"Let's keep moving." Yu ordered with a wave of his hand.
"Notice how he didn't answer." Akechi whispered.
They didn't have to travel far until they entered a new room, but it was shaped more like a silo. It was a massive laboratory, one that stretched several floors above, almost as tall as the hotels from before. On each floor was a single room, one that was dedicated to testing equipment, from rockets to lasers. After taking a moment to admire the massive array of The door in front of them was locked, with a keypad that read 'Warning! Equipment testing in progress! Will not open until all equipment is deactivated for safety.' The team proceeded to turn their attention to the first piece; armor stress testing. Inside the room was armor being fired upon to test it's durability. There was also an elevator that led up to the second lab; bullet experimentation. In that room was a catwalk that climbed up to the lab at the top of the silo, which was testing various fuels for rockets, and finally, right next to that was a bridge that would take someone across the lab to the laser testing room. With their goals laid out in front of them, the infiltrators began their task.
In the control room, a general in a blue pushed a few buttons on a keyboard and on a massive screen was the face of the man whom he sweared loyalty to.
"Report." Kobayakawa ordered.
"You were correct in your suspicions Mr. President. The jet was deceived into ferrying the rebels over here. I suspect that they are sneaking into this base now, with the intent of killing me." Morooka replied.
"Do you require reinforcements?"
"Negative Mr. President. I assure you, I have everything under control."
"If you insist. But be cautious of Narukami. Akechi has never made it this far before, and it's no doubt because of his most recent accomplice."
"You have nothing to fear. That little shit will make it this far, but no further."
"I hope you are correct. For your sake."
The widescreen turned off, and Morooka just noticed a blinking red light. Pushing it, a live camera feed showed up of what was happening in the testing lab. Morooka frowned. He hadn't expected them to get this close to the Control Room so fast. By now, the group had managed to disable two of the four testing rooms; the armor and gun testing rooms. He needed to stop this, and now. As the rebels approached the door that would lead them to the next testing room, he hit the lock button right before it opened. He smiled as the group struggled to open it, and turned on the microphone.
"Well well, look at what we have here! I knew that there would be some rats, but you look even more pathetic than I thought!"
The group turned and began talking amongst themselves, and Morooka pushed another button, opening the floor of the lab.
"Alright ya sorry ingrates! There are a buncha brats in here, trying to take down our awesome President! If you want to earn your food for the week, then bring me their heads on a platter!" The general ordered as a platform carrying the soldiers made its way to the surface. The Shadows immediately spread out. Yu decided to retreat to the previous room, ordering his team to split up and hide while he tried to make his way to the panel that controlled this lab's equipment. One Shadow managed to spot him, and he and the others came running. Turning on the computer, Yu searched frantically for what he was looking for.
"Bullet tests… incendiary, armor piercing… aha! Here we go." He said to himself as the screen popped up 'Are you sure you want to test this bullet type?'. Yu turned the turrets that would fire and hit 'Yes'. As the Shadows finally arrived, and the turrets roared to life, spewing bullets at a lightning pace. With each bullet that made impact, an explosion tore a hole through a Shadow, or made a hole on the wall. Within seconds, all of the guards were dead from the explosive bullets before they even had a chance to transform. Morooka let out a shriek of anger.
"Years of academy training WASTED!" He lamented as Yu turned the explosive bullets on the door. The turrets clicked, signaling that they were now empty.
"Alright you little shit. Now you pissed me off."
Morooka pushed a button and alarms started to blare in the lab. A green mist began to fill the lower levels. Poison.
"We need to get out of here, and fast." Yu said as he and the others rushed into the third testing room; the rocket room. Various tubes of several different types of rockets were currently offline, but one of them was still burning. Yu turned to the control panel and began to rotate the exhaust, straight to the door. By now, the poison had reached the first lab. The flames from the rocket began to melt the locked doors, granting the four access to the bridge to the lab.
"Great, so how do we get into the lab itself?" Morgana asked.
"This is how."
Yu turned the rocket so that it was facing the lab door, and released its hinges, sending the rocket flying into the room. A massive explosion shook the whole compound, and the laser room was not even intact anymore.
"You goddamn brats! Do you know how expensive that equipment is to replace?!" Morooka shrieked.
"That didn't manage to punch through the wall. We're trapped." Akechi pointed out.
"No, we aren't." Yu replied, sprinting across the bridge, his teammates following close behind. When he entered what remained of the laser lab, he looked at the map on his phone and saw a small sliver on it. He activated his Third Eye, and saw a small blue square among the rubble; a vent cover. The poison had made it to just over halfway.
"Alright, good eyes Seeker!" Shiho congratulated as Yu tore off the cover and they began to crawl through. Morooka yelled at them as they escaped.
"Hey! Where the hell do you think you're going you little shits?!"
"That's a good question. Where does this lead Seeker?" Akechi asked as they crawled.
"Right to the Command Center. How's everyone holding up?"
"Good to go." Morgana replied.
"Ready for whatever that jerk can throw at us!" Shiho added.
"Ready, willing, and able." Akechi finished.
"Alright. Then let's get to it."
Yu reached the end and pushed the vent cover, dislodging it. Coming out, he saw Morooka, yelling at the computer screen. The others came out of the vent and silently called their Personas, pulled out their weapons and took battle positions. Yu revealed his katana and summoned Izanagi, slowly walking to the general.
"Where'd they go?! Where the hell did those damn brats go?!"
"Hello Morooka. I'm Seeker. These are my friends. Prepare to die."
