The two rivals ended up on the inside of the arcade, bruised and cut by the glass shards but one of them frankly didn't give a fuck. Minato mounted Junpei and pummeled his face in with every bit of power he could muster. Junpei took a bit of punishment but he ended up blocking the fifth strike and kicked Minato away to catch his breath.
Minato regained his balance and stepped back in with a vicious kick to Junpei's gut. The capped teen was sent crashing into a bunch of arcade games. Minato wasted no time and stalked his teammate, grinning like a beast while doing so.
"Get up!" Minato demanded, circling around Junpei who was slowly getting back to his feet.
"I get what we did was wrong," Junpei panted. "This is not an answer to that!"
"Shut up!" Minato shouted, spearing Junpei into the wall. The capped teen gritted his teeth and shoved Minato away. The bluenette simply charged forward once again, hitting Junpei right on the face with a devastating right.
Junpei rebounded and kicked Minato in the ribs, making him take a step back. Junpei wasn't holding back. He had enough of that bastard's cruelty.
The Agi user charged this time, aiming a right for Minato's face. A grin crawled up to Minato's mug as he sidestepped the charge and smashed his knee into Junpei's gut.
Hacking out a mixture of blood and saliva, Junpei blindly swung his fist around which Minato easily weaved through. Minato smashed his elbow into Junpei's chest which made the teen freeze. Minato grinned sickly in return as he grabbed Junpei by his collar and threw him out of the window of the arcade. The fight was outside now.
Minato laughed his way out to see Junpei was already on his feet, ready for another round.
"Hamuko won't be pleased," Junpei warned.
Minato's rage erupted, he dashed ahead and floored Junpei, repeatedly landing blows all over his face. Junpei's hand shot up and grabbed a fistful of blue hair, he yanked in down and rammed Minato's head into the ground.
The blue haired demon let out a yell of pain as Junpei mounted him this time, unloading several punches that found their mark. Minato's rage erupted further and he headbutted Junpei, making him back off.
Quickly standing up and spitting out blood on the ground, Minato tried to yell but he just collapsed onto the ground, unable to get his voice out due to the injury sustained by his vocal cords.
Junpei cringed as Minato spat out another blob of blood on the ground and stood up. He looked extremely exhausted and bruised. Why the hell was he even fighting?
Minato took a few deep breaths and dashed once again. Junpei took his stance as Minato stepped in with a right. The capped teen dodged and hit Minato right on his cheek. Minato charged back in and roundhouse kicked Junpei squarely in the head.
Junpei was sent to the ground again and this time, Minato began kicking him in the ribs instead of mounting him. The capped teen eventually rolled away but Minato was onto him. He grabbed Junpei by his neck and threw him into the store, again through the glass.
Laughing once again, Minato followed Junpei on the inside. He was met by a glass bottle right onto his head which sent him to the ground. Junpei stabbed Minato on the back with the now broken bottle, eliciting a vicious roar from the demon.
Junpei backed away, covering his ears from the shout. Minato was breathing heavy now, not due to exhaustion but due to rage. Junpei was going to fucking die right here.
Minato nearly knocked Junpei's head off with a lariat that sent the teen crashing to the ground. Minato began to smash knee after knee into his midsection, bringing forth painful cries from the Agi user.
The deranged teenager kicked Junpei hard, sending him back first into a compartment of alcohol and other drinks. Minato continued advancing towards Junpei who was struggling to get up.
Minato was met by a bottle to his face when he tried to grab Junpei. The glassware exploded upon impact, most of the shards embedding deep into Minato's skin. The blue haired persona user let out a painful roar, but he had enough sense to kick Junpei hard in the midsection again. There was a sound of cracking upon contact which greatly pleased Minato, despite the pain he was feeling.
Junpei collapsed onto the ground, barely able to get his breath out. Minato ignored the pain and smashed his head onto the ground. Junpei was close to exhaustion now, he was barely able to breathe.
Minato licked the blood off his lips and grinned sickly. He grabbed a hold of a bottle of wine and poured it all over Junpei, dowsing the capped teen with that blasted liquid. Junpei recognized the smell all to well. The same smell his father reeked off when he came home everything and abused him.
"This is the end for you," Minato grinned, stomping him in the gut, forcefully opening his mouth. With another sick laugh, Minato forced vine down Junpei's throat, making the capped teen gag.
Having mocked him enough, Minato tossed Junpei to the outside once again and followed him, despite the fatigue he was experiencing himself.
Junpei was beaten badly and he was cut up in several places. Minato panted and fished out an evoker, tossing it over to Junpei who widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Why?"
"I want to crush your goddamn spirit!" Minato fished his own evoker out, held it against his temple and yelled. "Samael!" The red serpent bursted out of Minato's psyche, gliding towards Junpei who barely dodged to the right. Samael went ahead and collided with Escapade, detonating a huge explosion that devastated the club and sent embers all over the mall.
Minato began to laugh, pleased with the fireworks going on. Junpei faced him like he was insane, which he actually was. "Y-You..."
Not wanting to hear anything but his screams, Minato stepped in and delivered a thunderous right hand to Junpei who absorbed the blow and clutched the evoker to his temple.
"HERMES!" The messenger of Gods manifested behind Junpei and released a torrent of hell fire at Minato who gritted his teeth and switched to Pyro Jack. He dashed forward and came out of the fire unscathed. Junpei took several steps back and yelled again. "Cleave!"
Minato wasn't expecting this, and he barely had time to react before Hermes' metal talons ripped the flesh off his bones and smashed him into the fountain. The structure collapsed, drenching Minato with disgusting fountain water.
He painfully coughed out the water in his lungs and stood up once again. He was to drop dead right now and get some rest but above all else, he had a mission. His pride was at stake here.
"Aga-" Junpei let out a harsh yell of pain as Minato summoned Death in a split second, which ended up ripping Hermes' head clean off. It happened in seconds and the pain was felt by the teenager as well. Minato took a step back and swallowed the mouthful of blood, before streaking towards Junpei who was off guard.
Minato smashed Junpei into the police station, and took a step back. The capped teen was barely breathing now.
Minato shot himself with an evoker, summoning the red serpent once again. Samael tore into the police station and probably taking Junpei as well. There was a surge of purple energy for a few seconds and the police station exploded in a sky high flame. Minato watched on with delight, Junpei had managed to escape but it bother him at all. More fun for him in the long run.
Junpei pushed the rubble away and stood on spaghetti legs. He was broken but he knew Minato was far from done. This time, Minato wasn't laughing. He was glaring viciously at the capped teen. He pointed towards his arm and sliced his own throat, gesturing that Junpei was done for.
Seeing as he had won the fist fight, Minato marched ahead to the downed Junpei. He dug his knife out and kicked Junpei to the floor. He bent down and began his work. Minato rammed the knife in all of Junpei's limbs, thrice. Harsh yells of pain were blocked when Minato shoved his own cap inside his mouth. Junpei gagged but Minati silenced him by elbowing his chest.
Blood was gushing out of his wounds and Junpei was barely conscious. Minato towered over his broken frame and look below remorselessly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a real silver pistol, not an evoker, a real pistol.
His face was emotionless and eyes ice cold. Junpei shivered. He could feel the stench of alcohol all over him. Minato had surely broken more than his bones. Lying next to Minato's feet bloodied and broken was horrifying and demoralizing, but being dowsed with alcohol added insult to injury. It was a clear message that Junpei was a failure just like his father.
Junpei widened his eyes as Minato shot him in the legs. The capped teen couldn't even scream because of the cap in his throat, but he felt every bit of the pain.
Minato looked around the mall. It was devastated, blown up and decorated with blood. All of this pleased him, despite the fact he was barely standing himself. Junpei was losing blood at an alarming rate as the life was leaving him as well.
Minato pointed the barrel towards his head the next time. "Now you-"
"They're coming," Minato was interrupted by a voice. It was the goth bitch.
"Tch," Minato lamented, sensing a few members of S.E.E.S running towards the scene. He couldn't deal with all of them right now. He bit his lip and backed away, disappearing from sight and back into the Strega headquarters.
... He failed by the skin of his teeth and he was pissed.
Minato trudged back into his room without sparing a glance to the other members of Strega. Panting hard, he rested himself against the desk and pulled out a few glass shards out of his body. He smelt like shit.
"If I had a couple of new personae, I could have finished it!" He growled. Speaking off personae, he wasn't welcomed into the Velvet Room anymore. Fucking sucks.
"Fuck!" He pounded the desk with his fist and bit his lip. His psyche was malfunctioning once again. The anger was building up to extreme levels. He needed to vent. He needed to kill.
Strega had stepped out for their late night activities and left just one ass clown behind. Steve thought it was a good idea to poke fun at the enraged persona user, without knowing that Minato was wandering on the cliffs on insanity once again.
Steve opened the door with a cheeky grin as Minato kept staring at him, expressionless as usual. The guitarist faced with him a condescending smirk that made his blood boil.
So fucking near...
"Failure," Steve uttered and Minato lost himself. He started the assault off by slamming the knife into Steve's gut. The singer didn't even get a chance to yell as Minato floored him and took the knife out of this flesh.
Minato began stabbing Steve all over his body, multiple times on the chest and arms. He tossed the knife away and began to pound his face in with his bare fists, mustering all the energy he could manage. Blood splattered all over Minato's body as he kept pummeling the clown, fracturing his nose and rearranging his facial structure.
"HAHAHAHAH!" Minato released another insane laugh, his pupils constricting in utter insanity. Steve was shivering underneath Minato's weight and the psychotic persona user just kept on punishing the helpless fool.
Minato smashed his knee right into the throat of Steve and lifted him up by his hair. Minato swung him around, smashing his head through both of the windows before he rammed it against the wall with so much force that it cracked a little. He floored Steve once again and started to pant.
"Fucking around with me, huh!?" Minato snarled, pulling his fists together and cracking his bones with an ax handle. The blow was vicious and the ground underneath the two teens cracked slightly as well.
Steve coughed out blood but Minato wasn't done. He grabbed a hold of his blue hair and lifted him up. "YOU DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH ME!" Steve tried to mutter something but Minato grinned again, he forcefully ripped apart most of his hair and let out another laugh.
"Behold Death!" He shouted, looking below at Steve who look nothing like he was 5 minutes ago. His right eye was actually damaged since Minato smashed his face against the window.
Minato took out another knife and rammed it right for his heart. Steve stopped moving as blood gushed out, pooling around the teen who was on death doors. Minato forcefully pulled the knife all the way towards Steve's abdomen, utterly mascaraing his innards and killing him in the cruelest way possible.
Minato laughed once more time and collapsed onto the dead teenager. He felt so fucking free in a long time.
Chidori had informed the rest about the influx of power in their base and Strega ran back towards their headquarters. Takaya and the rest slammed the door to Minato's room opened and most of them released horrified screams.
Steve was mangled and lying dead on the floor, in a pool of blood. His face was beaten beyond recognition. The sight was horrific even for the scumbags that killed for money.
Minato slowly stood up, his face now expressionless and stoic. He was caked in Steve's blood entirely. Yet, he wasn't unnerved. There was a look of a completely demented demon in his eyes. He had forgotten all about love and was back to his old ruthless ways tenfold.
As Minato slowly gazed at the other members of Strega, most of them shivered and took a step back, utterly horrified and fearful for their lives.
Takaya however was busy marveling Minato. His lust for blood was returning even faster than he predicted. Minato was becoming all he hoped he would become : A true killing machine.
Thanks goes to those insane douchebags. I wrote more than usual this time so not all the credit goes to them. :P
See how quickly we updated? yyyeah, review is really a powerful fuel, esp for us authors. This was kinda too violent but I hoped you enjoyed it, Minato is slowly and slowly going back to his old ways and I'd like to say, since Death inside him has lost several pieces, it is very unstable so who knows what might happen.
Junpei isn't dead but uh... he'll be out for a while. Who will Minato target next? Welp, keep reading and find out. PS : I was just asking about replacing Hamuko. It won't happen since I don't it could work with anyone else. :P
Like always, please review and you'll see a new chapter really soon.
Thanks for reading.
