Hello my readers, sorry it's been a while but when I last updated my family was going through a rough time and just finished in a pretty messy way, I hope you like this chapter. It's basically the fight with the Queen and them meeting our persona users, but don't worry! It's still a pretty good chapter. Let's get into it!
Chapter 4: The First Meeting.
They turned their heads to see 19 people standing at the doorway. Two of them stepped forward to reveal one with silver hair and the other with blue and bangs.
"Don't worry, we'll help," they both said.
"Now, attack!" a redhead yelled.
They immediately sprinted into the fray. Some of them used playing cards and guns to shoot themselves to activate what looked to be stands.
"Wow! I've never seen stands like those, have any of you?" Polneraff asked.
They shook their heads no. At one point when they were almost at the front. Then they noticed like 20 card soldiers charging an attack. Before anyone could react, Jotaro used Star Platinum to destroy them.
"Whoa, what kind of Persona was that!?" a girl in a pink sweater asked.
Deciding "screw it," the others attacked too.
"WOAH! What personas are these? I've never seen these before!" a girl in a green sweat shirt asked.
"Such annoying pests! Very well... I will crush you myself! I won't let you have this not even if our king demands it!" the Queen said.
After she said that, they had created a big enough opening between the cards the crusaders went strait for the Queen while the others took care of the cards.
"What loathsome peasants! I will not hand it over! I refuuuuse!" the Queen said.
She then used ice dance on Magicians red, but it dodged at just the right moment and turned into a flaming fire ball crashing into hits gut. She re-bounded and summoned a few card solders but Hierophant green used emerald splash to destroy them. The Fool flew strait ahead of them, the Queen used elec dance but Iggy broke apart into sand allowing it to go through him and when he was close enough he swiped at it with its giant medal claws.
"I…I will not hand it overrrr… The treasure… It is miiiiiine… This treasure is… it's…" she said.
They noticed that she was getting weaker, Iggy made a small sand storm slowing her down, Hierophant green used 20- meter emerald splash, Silver Chariot stabbed it where its heart is supposed to be and Star Platinum finished it off with a whole series of punches yelling," ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"
When it was finished the crusaders turned to the others.
"Wow...Your strong," The boy with earphones said.
"Yeah, seems like you didn't actually need our help," the composed boy said.
"Who are you all?" Avdol asked.
"Well like you saw, we're persona-users like you all are," the intelligent looking boy said.
Wait a minute, You guy's are persona-users?" Joseph asked.
"Yes, you seem shocked," the well-dressed girl said.
"We'll explain later, it's kind of a long story on who we are," Joseph said.
"Alright, we can talk once we're back,"
"Yes but now, you go on without us, let's see what she was trying to protect," Avdol said.
They went to the chest where the locks had disappeared, and Zen had opened it and took out… a stuffed Rabbit.
"what!? We came all this way for a stuffed Rabbit!?" Polneraff said.
"And apparently its name is NIKO. What does that stand for?" Joseph said.
"Hmmm… It must be saying, 'smile'!" Rei said.
"You mean like when you win at something, you smile?"
"Do you think it's the same one from upstairs?" Polneraff asked.
"It seems like it, but part of it still feels like nothing more than a wild goose chase," Kakyoin said.
"Do you guys know anything about it?" Jotaro asked Zen and Rei.
"No," Rei said.
"I feel like… I've seen it somewhere…" Zen said.
"Zen?"
"Four… There are four Labyrinths here… Something is hidden in each one… and "Guardians" are protecting them. There was something I had to do here… a task… I had a task to accomplish. But… I lost my memory…"
"Do you remember anything else?" Jotaro asked.
"… It's no use. That's all I can remember…"
"So all we need to do is find the others and we can get some straight answers?"
" Yeah, but with each one comes a guardian, so it won't be easy," Joseph said.
"Yes, that's right… powerful shadows like the one we fought are protecting something…"
"So the stuffed Rabbit triggered your memory?" Polneraff asked.
"I think so. When I touched it… the memory surfaced, like a crack formed in something. What about you Rei? Do you remember anything?"
"I said I don't know…" she answered.
"I see… then I will hold onto this stuffed animal."
"…"
"That thing said 'I won't let us out of here.' Somethings keeping us here. I could feel the presence of more than those people. Something… powerful," Avdol said.
"Yes… but this 'unknown party' must've hidden my memories within the labyrinths… But Rei's memories are not returning. Where are her memories…?"
Before anyone could say or do anything a series of bells began to ring, alarming our stand users.
"Hey those are the bells we heard before coming here!" Kakyoin said.
"We all heard the bells too," the silver haired boy said.
"Really? Why us? Out of all people why were we all specifically chosen?" Joseph asked himself.
After that they stopped and suddenly two hologram-like things appeared. One was a girl with long red hair in pig tails, and another with short light blue hair.
"Hey guys! Come here quick!" the short haired one said.
"Yeah! One of the locks on the doors is coming off!" The one in pig tails said.
"We have to get there quickly!" the silvered hair one said.
"Wait who were they and what are they talking about!?" Polneraff asked.
"We'll explain later! Come on!" the one with blue bangs said.
And with that they left through the exit and went back through the entrance.
Well I hope you thought the dialogue and the fight was good, fav, follow and review! See you next time!
