Under the green light, there were only coffin aloft everywhere in the town. No trace of human, not even the electric equipments was functioned. Those were survive in this eerie timeline were only shadows.

Within this eerie space, there were three human were active. They were not only adapted the Dark Hour, they also held the power called persona. However, they were different than SEES, and their powers were more like forced to awake. They didn't allow living in this world. They didn't have any record in this country to be recognized as national in Japan. To them, Dark Hour was the only place they were allowed to live, without rules and distract.

"Hey, come on, wake up already." The blue haired boy with spectacle flicked his finger on one of the coffins in back alley. Upon his touch, the coffin immediately melted to the ground.

"Huh? How the heck did I-"

The tall guy inside the coffin looked pretty shocked as he turned to his surrounding. Well, that's reasonable.

"Good evening…are you surprised?"

The tall guy looked to the person right in front of him. That person had pale and thin—too thin feature, compared to the normal guy. His gray-white hair simply dropped behind him, and he's only wearing a jean.

"Wha-?"

"Truth be told, we all visit this world every night…" The thin guy continued his talk without bother the tall guy.

"Wh-What are you saying? Who the hell are you!?"

"Didn't mommy teach you manners? You haven't introduced yourself." The blue haired boy took something out from his case. "Take a look. Name, address, age, etc…this is you right?" Behind the blue haired boy, there's another girl with lolita dress.

"Wha-? Where did you get this!?" The tall yelled.

The blue haired boy simply gave him a smirk. "Somebody's got a grudge against you, and they asked us to get revenge."

"Revenge!? What kinda bullshit is this? Who put you up to this!?"

"Can't tell ya. We're professionals." The blue haired boy Jin shoved the paper back to his case when he answered.

"Professionals? Oh shit…you mean the rumors on the net are true!?" The tall guy took a few steps back. However, the three of them didn't show a hint of anxious or what. They knew, none could run from them…could run from this place.

"May we get this over with now?" The thin guy Takaya pulled out a gun from sheath as he spoke. It added another shade of fear on the tall guy's face. Smith & Wesson M 500 was the name of his beloved gun.

"Hey w-wait! I haven't done anything! Why me? What'd I do!?" He just couldn't believe today was his last day in the world. I mean, no one would ever believe when death was so near to you.

"That is not our concern. Your notion of right and wrong is irrelevant. My client's wishes are all that matter." Takaya raised a smile. It was rather a cruel smile, representing the death, and also the end of the tall guy's life. "People hear what they choose to hear, and believe what they want to believe."

"N-No, stay away…get away from me!" Along with the yell, the tall guy tried his best to save his poor life. He turned back and ran, and—

"You squeal most magnificently! Such raw emotion…" Without aiming it, Takaya pulled the trigger of his gun. The bullet exactly hit the target, though not to the death point, but enough to cause dead.

"Err…!" The tall guy fell on the ground, letting out some groans.

The lolita girl, Chidori threw their target a glance before walking away with her two companions.

"…He's not dead."

"Doesn't matter…we're held up our end of the bargain. Besides, tomorrow this will just seem like some random crime." Jin simply shrugged away. To them, this was not the first time; of course it wouldn't be their last time doing this.

"If there's nothing else…I'm feeling rather tired." Takaya seemed exhausted. He easily got exhausted than the other two. Probably due to the past they'd been through.

Jin secretly clenched his fist seeing Takaya like this. He quickly followed behind Takaya to go back to their base. It's near somewhere in back alley too. For a moment, he realized Chidori wasn't behind like she usually did. He turned back to call the lazy beauty and prepared to drag her back—

"Chidori…?"

The lolita girl didn't seem to pay him any attention. Her gaze was somewhere else, and the one that most concerned Jin was the expression of her.

"There's shadow around…"

Takaya also turned back to them as he heard that. Jin furrowed his brows.

"The random shadow?" Not that much shadow would wonder outside of Tartarus. This was what they knew in common. Though, there would be some of them was randomly appeared. "You want me to kick some ass?"

"Wait Jin…there's another…" Chidori tilted her head, looking rather confused. Jin never saw this on Chidori. The Chidori he knew was someone expressionless…or rather she was lazy.

"Another? Another random shadow…you mean?" He couldn't understand. Chidori seemed started to mumble something to herself now.

"…What is this? Shadow? Persona?"

Chidori was able to detect shadows, much like Fuuka's. She could hide her presence perfectly from being detected. It would be much of her abilities that the three of them were able to stay safely during Dark Hour.

"Is it something important? If not, let's head back." Takaya urged them. He looked more tired than he was a moment ago before.

"Yeah we're coming!" Jin pulled the girl together with him heading back to their base. "Come on Chidori."

Chidori's gaze hadn't left when Jin dragged her along. She saw something else far away; something she couldn't figure out what was that. Shadow? Persona? She couldn't tell. Or maybe neither? Or the combination of two of them?

It's not something dangerous…I guess. So I'll let it be…though Chidori could tell she was curious, but her laziness was always first on top of everything.

As she thought so, she shifted her gaze to Jin—

Found You

Like the air suddenly turned cold, Chidori felt all of the pores of her body opened up. It's a piercing and frightening chill where it climbed up from her back to all over her body, as if a monster opened up its mouth and about to swallow.

"Hff!" Tossing her head behind to where she was staring a while ago, her eyes widened like she saw something terrible. It was terrible, perhaps to her.

"Hey, what's wrong with you Chi-" Jin's voice died out after seeing the girl's face.

Her face was pale white, paler than Takaya's. Her arms circled her body as if she was afraid. Looking closely, Jin wouldn't miss the shaky body of her.

"What's the matter Chidori!?"

"…It is watching us…impossible…how can it…" Find us…? The rest of the words died in her throat.

"Chidori? Chidori!" Jin also started feeling an urge on dragging her back. He might not be able to detect something out of his sense like Chidori, but he could at least know one or tow from the girl's expression.

The air around turned chilled as they ran back to their base. Takaya went on ahead so he probably reached the base already. Panting, even Jin also felt the odd as his pores were opened up to something else. Sweat started to form on his cheek.

What is the thing!? What makes me feel…terrified…?

"…Jin…it's gone…" Chidori muttered softly as she slowed down her pace. "It's…no more there." Now she figured the random shadow she detected early was gone as well.

"Huh?" Though, Jin could tell the air was changed back to the one they used to. "Are you sure?"

Chidori nodded, reassuring him. "Yes…" But how?

"What was that?"

"…Dunno…"

Jin exhaled deeply. He couldn't believe he was holding his breathe until now. Shaking the heavy feeling on his heart, he found they're already in front of their base. Dragging the lolita girl with him again, he decided not to take it in his concern. Maybe it's just some illusion…he told himself.

With her gaze still locked on far away, she let Jin dragged her back without protested. Normally she would throw her hidden hammer to him as warning not to get close to me. Strangely, and luckily to Jin, she hadn't today.

Fuuka jerked up from her bed with light gasp. She clutched on her blanket tightly before looking around to reassure she was safe within this place. Fortunately it was in the middle of midnight, so no one would find how terrible she was now.

Taking a deep breathe to calm down, Fuuka wiped off the sweat on her face. Having a feeling she wouldn't be able to fall asleep in this moment, she got down from her bed and left the room.

It's was so dark. She barely saw anything. She could only rely on the dim green light shined form outside.

It's Dark Hour…

"…What are you doing here?" Familiar voice blocked her way from continuing descended the stair.

"Whoooaaa!" Fuuka jumped up. "W-Who's there!?"

The person took a step forward to the place where the green light shined in, revealing Haruka with a cup of hot milk on her hand.

"…It's me, Fuuka-san."

"H-Haruka-chan…please don't scare me like that…" Calming her feeble heart, Fuuka let out a sigh, hadn't aware how shaky her sigh turned out to be.

Haruka tilted her head as she looked at the aqua haired girl, shifting her gaze to the hot milk on her hand when Fuuka staring it, wondering if she wanted some. In that case, she stretched her hand out handing the milk to Fuuka.

"Eh?" Fuuka winked her eyes a few times. "I-Is this for me? But…" She hadn't expected the poker face girl would do that.

"…Never mind. I can make a new one."

Down to the kitchen, Fuuka found her seat and sat down with the milk on her hand. Feeling the warmth wrapping her body, the fear she felt earlier gone. The milky taste was pleasantly helped her to calm down, as she felt her body became lighter than before.

"Thank you. It's tasty." She smiled, admired how talent Haruka in cooking. She remembered Haruka prepared their breakfast every morning, and that's the moment she always waiting for everyday.

"…What are you doing in the middle of midnight?" Warming up the milk as she waited, Haruka asked, though she might know what's brought the girl up.

Fuuka dropped her face hearing the question. She bit her bottom lips, seemed having trouble to talk about it. Haruka didn't urge her though, still waiting for her to come up first.

"I…" After a brief moment, Fuuka lifted her head looking into Haruka's violet eyes, but shifted away as if she was afraid. "You may not believe me in this…even I don't believe it too…"

"…What is this?"

"I…I sensed something a while ago." She said timidly, uncertainty showing in her tone. "I sensed something like…shadow, but it felt like a persona too…I'm not sure…I sensed another shadow nearby, but it disappeared when the shadow or persona-like thing around." Like remembering something ungrateful, Fuuka's face turned to pale white, though it's barely visible under the dark. "…I might have mistaken it…"

"…I trust you."

"Haruka-chan…?" Widening her eyes in disbelief as she heard that, never she was expecting the poker face girl answered her without a little bit of doubtful showing out.

"I believe in what you told me. You didn't need to lie." Taking a sip of the readied milk, she let out a sigh. "…As a scanner of the group, I don't have to judge you in your ability, that's it."

Chuckle filled the silence. "…Thank you Haruka-chan. You're…so kind." Her words made the poker face girl to look up at her. "Some of the people will still show doubtful in their voice even they say 'I believe in you', you know? But…strangely, I don't feel any in yours. Though you look cold and distant, but you're actually kind and caring. I know it now."

Kind and caring? Was she saying me? Haruka amused by the thought. Seeing the aqua haired girl finished her milk and went back, Haruka took another sip of her cup of milk. Like she asked the reason of Fuuka awoke in the middle of midnight, she also had her own her reason. In similar way, they supposed to have the same reason.

"…It's not like I'm kind or what Fuuka…I just know how terrible that thing was." She understood her feeling, and she was surprised to see Fuuka able to sense it without summoned her persona. Was it maybe her power was strong, or maybe that thing was too terrible? Thanks to that thing, she lost trace of Strega.

Never mind, I can wait. But I have to be careful of that thing…that Shadow Eater…

"Another threat…"

As usual, Izumi walked to Hagakure to start his daily work. He worked night shift today, so save him from rushing all over to get to place. Sometimes if he was late, his supervisor, or rather he called senpai would give him a long speeches making him never heard the end of it. Working night shift had another advantage that he loved the most, was so he could play with Saya, his house owner's daughter more. After all, her mother was rather busy with her works.

"Good afternoon senpai!" He greeted his senpai after stepping into the shop, surprisingly to find Jin was already waiting in the shop. "Jin? What brought you here?"

"Nah, like I was waiting fro you." Using one hand to support his head, Jin lazily spared him a glance. "I'm waiting for my lunch."

"It's rare you come here so often. Waiting for that little couple?" Teasing his friend when putting on the apron on him, Izumi raised a big smile. Since today was not that busy like usual, his senpai just let Izumi be chatting with Jin. "Say, you like that couple, right? Never have I seen you be this close to the others."

"S-Shut up! It's not like that!" Jin jumped up, pretty much disagreed with Izumi however, he wouldn't deny how nice to have the 'couple' around, especially Hamuko.

"Your special here." Serving the special sized ramen to his friend, just the time Izumi saw Hamuko and Minato appeared in front of the shop. "Oh hey, speak of the devil."

"Konichiwa, Izumi-san! What? Jin also here?" Behind Hamuko was another girl they never seen before. Minato passed by Jin went ahead to his seat and ordered. He also ordered for Hamuko and Haruka.

"…Arisato-kun, please give me a regular." The poker face girl dais as she sat down beside Hamuko.

"Konichiwa Hamuko-chan! Your friend here?" Izumi took the order and passed to the kitchen. Soon they could hear the boiling sound coming from the kitchen.

"She's my best friend. Haruka, this is Izumi, the one I always talked to you about." Hamuko introduced. "He's super annoying, so be careful not to get caught by him. Or else he will drag you around by talking nonsense."

"I resent that Hamuko-chan!"

"…I see. So it was you…" Not really paying attention to what the auburn haired girl said, Haruka stared at Izumi and coming up a small comment. it's unclear what she was understand about. "My name is Kamijou Haruka…nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you…although I must ask, what's on my face that make you stare at me like that?" Scratching his cheek, Izumi felt uneasy with those violet eyes as if she could see through everything in him. Also, it's rare to have someone did that since he knew he wasn't handsome or good looking. But…well, there were always people with strange taste, he guessed?

"…No, sorry. It's nothing. I just have a feeling that…I don't like you." Such bluntly and straight forward comment spoke out from a young girl just when he thought this was the first time he received that kind of look, Haruka abruptly broke his dream, sending him from heaven down to hell just within a minute.

"…You don't have to be so frankly…" Izumi hid behind the counter tried to comfort his poor heart.

"H-Haruka, you don't have to be this straightforward…" Hamuko sweat dropped hearing that from Haruka. This was the first time she heard this from Haruka telling others straight in front of them. Izumi was the first.

Beside Haruka, Minato covered his mouth hiding under his arms. It's clearly found his shoulder was moving up and down. Again Izumi dropped his face.

"Man…you're sharp and bluntly. Didn't someone teach you to respect people the first time you meet?" Jin just couldn't let it be. Seeing his friend shot him some helping signals, he raised his voice a bit.

"…I can't respect someone I don't like." Ignoring the guy's glare, Haruka took out the chopstick when the food served to her.

"Why you little-"

"Hey, no fighting! And don't you dare to hit my friend!" Hamuko blocked in front of Haruka. "Come on, eating time!"

"…Your friend just as rude as you." Jin cursed, feeling pissed with Haruka. Now on the other way round, it ended up was Izumi who had to comfort Jin.

"Sorry, but that's just how we are!" Hamuko huffed. "Sorry Izumi-san, Haruka's…a little off today."

"Oh…never mind. I'm use to it." Izumi simply let it off with a smile.

Then, only eating sound filled the air. It seemed Izumi didn't care how Haruka treated him in their first met, he still tried to make the girl to open up to him. Perhaps like he said, he used to it, or rather he really hadn't care about it. Like Minato, though Minato would show disgusted whenever he talked to him, Izumi still trying on reaching out to him. In Hamuko's opinion, Izumi was not that bad at all. Still, something seemed very strange with this guy.

I just can't tell why…

"Hey, did you heard about the rumors on the net?" The girl behind them talked loudly to her friend.

"What rumors?"

"The revenge request website! It said it could help people to get revenge and it's 100% successes!"

"What!? Really? Give me that website…"

"The revenge request website huh? The students in our school all talked about it." Losing the interest on the topic, Hamuko dug back her food.

"It's getting famous recently." Minato added. "But I'm not interested at all."

"Neither is I." taking the sip of the soup, Hamuko let out a big smile upon on the great taste.

Things spread quickly on the net, and it seemed the revenge request website had become a piece of the trend. It's not bad thing to Jin since in order to survive, they needed money. And this was exactly where their money was coming from.

"…You guys, what do you think about the revenge request website?" Izumi asked. His voice lost the calmness and playfulness.

The three Gekkoukan High students exchanged some glances before any of them wanted to answer it. Why suddenly asked this? They all had this question in mind; even Jin also raised his brows at Izumi.

"Hey, no, don't stare at me like that! I just want to know your opinion!" Feeling all the sight on him, Izumi quickly made it clear. Not like he was a part of that website!

"…Ridiculous." Minato said, still digging his food. "It only provokes people to get revenge."

"Agree. It just like, those who requests to get revenge don't want to stain their hands by pushing these to the others. I bet the person that created this website has something wrong with his mind too. That aside…" Hamuko raised her chopstick, pointing at the air. "Revenge is mean killing or what? Doesn't that illegal?"

"Now you talk about it…" Izumi looked up and thought. He became unsure for now.

"…The revenge request website only reveals the true and naked desire of the human. None of us living without hatred and darkness builds inside us. This website is the perfect place where people are able to show out their wishes…no matter how ugly that wish is." Putting down the chopstick as Haruka finished the content in the bowl, she timidly said, yet her voice was firmed and steadied. "Gochisosama deshita."

"Gochisosama deshita." Minato on the other hand also finished his food.

"Eh? Hey, you two are fast!"

"…You're too noisy, and not concentrate enough in eating." Minato simply tilted his head. A hint of teasing showed on his face as he raised a smirk.

Not wanting to be left behind, Hamuko shot him a grimace and continued dug in her foods.

"Wow…Haruka-chan, you're cool when you spoke that all." Like she knew everything in the world, Izumi had a feeling this girl was strange, especially when she talked about this kind of thing. Restless feeling rose up from deep of his heart as he stared into her eyes. Not good…he quickly shifted his gaze away.

Among the five of them, Jin remained quiet listening to them. As Hamuko also finished the remaining content in her bowl, softly but coldly, he let out some laughs.

"Heh…like you guys know everything." His voice drew all of their attention over to him. "'People don't want to stain their hands by pushing to the website' or 'person who created this website has something wrong with his mind'…'true and naked wishes'…like you all know everything in the world…talk about pain."

Hamuko furrowed her brows, feeling offense. "Jin, you're rude!"

"Stop being cocksure you little punks! What you guys know when you're able to attend some kind of private school, living as a fool without knowing how the others struggle to live their life like a dog!? Ridiculous? That's just how people live their life!" He slammed the table, making others customers jumped up a bit, yet his action didn't scare away the three students in front of him.

"…What are you crazy at?" Minato looked as calm as he usually did, but the fist he held tight had clearly betrayed him as a sign he was trying hard to had his raging flames under control.

Hamuko, on the other hand, jumped up all of the sudden; slamming the table again it shocked the people around. "Stop pretending you know about us!" She pointed straight at his nose, glaring him back, especially her piercing strike red orbs like burning flames inside them. "You're talking like the life you're living now is the worst in the world, and ours are something without meaning and a bunch of fools! You too, know nothing about us. I've been through a lot as well. I'm not those you think of. We are not!"

Feeling the situation would lead to something terrible, or the worst Jin might accidentally revealed the past he held, Izumi quickly dragged Jin away, separating them from started any fighting.

"Calm down Jin! What's got into you!?" Maybe he shouldn't bring up the issue of the website…wait, don't tell me Jin has something to do with the website? The sudden thought faltered him for a moment. If so, he truly a stupid! "Just calm down for now!"

Grabbing her bag along, after paying for the foods, Hamuko swore she wouldn't want to meet this rude guy again…at least not before she could forgive his rudeness.

"See you, Izumi-san."

"Oh…yeah, be careful on the way…"

"…There's no worst in the world, only worse." Minato whispered softly near Jin's ear before leaving. It's his way to show his anger, though it less visible. Haruka simply passed him by without looked at him.

"Tch!"

"Phew…I thought you two might fight each other." Releasing his friend, Izumi apologized to the other customer and assured them. "Jin, don't be so reckless, okay?"

"…I just can't help. They're…too arrogant." Like a child, Jin turned his head away not wanting met Izumi's gaze. He knew he was overacted…but he just couldn't help!

"…So, that revenge request website has something to do with you?" Clearing the table, Izumi asked.

"…That's just how we live."

"Okay, I'll pretend I know nothing about this." Smiling helplessly, Izumi rubbed Jin's head like a big brother. "For a second, I thought you might reveal things about Kirijo Group and the Experiment they did to us."

"…I'm not stupid."

"Hmmm…"

On the way back, Hamuko kept pondering something after stepping out from Hagakure. Minato exhaled deeply and remained as quiet as he could, probably tried to keep his emotion calm.

"…What's it Hamuko?" Like Haruka couldn't stand the weirdness of the auburn haired girl, she asked.

Tapping her chin along, her gaze still locked on the ground. "No…I just wonder…I don't remember anything in the past, so why'd I burst out those to Jin? You know, it just like…kinda blurted out."

I've been through a lot as well. I'm not those you think of. We are not!

Haruka nodded quietly. Minato still remained silence as if the both of them didn't know how they should answer the question.

"…I think it's better to stay in this way…"

"What? Haruka, did you say something?" Hamuko and Minato both threw her a weird glance.

"No, it's nothing." She shook, reassured them.

It's better they don't remember anything. For a second, I thought they might finally catch something about their past...but I guess…that's just kind of strong emotion that made them blurted out.

"So, they will not remember anything before the time is right…is that it?" Under the dim green light, Haruka sat on her bed tackled her blanket to her chest. "Even that fateful night?"

"…Yes, it seems to be." Pharos, the little boy in striped shirt played her pen by spinning it on hand. "If they remember anything, it will alter the fate of the world. So, when this world was born, it itself made its decision to seal away their respective memories to make sure everything is on the track…kinda like that."

"…However, their future still unpredictable." She whispered, tackling the blanket even tighter.

"…This world couldn't sustain the impact of being reset again. If things run out of the track again, this world will collapse." Pharos added. His finger flicked, and the pen on hand dropped down. "In order to make sure everything is alright, only we're able to keep the memories."

"But you attempt a change." She remembered what he told her last time.

Raising a bitter smile as if he hadn't expected she would say that, Pharos walked to her front. "…It's hurt to see them experience the same thing all over again. I don't think I'll be able to take it if anyone of them died in front of me. They're…too precious for me." His palms put onto her cheek and raised her face. His clear blue eyes covered with a shade of sadness, and seemed shining with tears. "But, I'm happy to see them again. Without their friends, I'll never have a chance. In other way, their friends' wishes are accomplished…only in the other way round."

"…And so, I was born." She murdered.

Pulling her into his small fragile body, Pharos softly rubbed her hair.

"You're not a tool. Believe me, you're born for a reason. You…just need to find it out."

"Any luck Fuuka?"

On another Full Moon day, the group gathered in the command room. Fuuka summoned her persona Lucia to find their target.

"Just a moment…I found it! I sense a strong presence!"

"Hey, we're right!" Junpei yelled.

"Or so it would seem." Ikutsuki was there with them to make sure his 'research' was right.

"It's located in Iwatodai…inside a building on Shirakawa Buliding."

"Hmm, Shirakawa Boulevard…they've been finding The Lost in pairs lately…now I understand why." Ikutsuki slightly adjusted his spectacle.

"In pairs? Oh…I get it." Mitsuru's face slightly burned up.

Dismissed her persona, Fuuka tilted her head innocently. "Why? What's on Shirakawa Boulevard? I'm not familiar with that area…"

Hamuko sweat dropped. She didn't know in the first hand. When she kept tackling the cool boy to tell her, she finally realized what that place was from his expression.

"Fuuka, that's…"

"That's where all THOSE hotels. That explains a lot...you've heard about 'em right Fuuka? Where they go to…you know." Junpei raised a smirk…a rather dirty one, making Yukari kicked his ass.

"Ugh, you have the dirtiest mind!"

"Nonsense. They're no different than ordinary hotels. The rooms are a bit fancier, that's all." Ikutuski explained to them. Hamuko wondered if he had been there before. Why he knew al clearly about it?

"Aw man, that's it?" Junpei growled in disappointment.

"I don't know about this…maybe I shouldn't go…"Yukari sounded uncertain.

"You're just like a little kid Yuka-tan."

"What!?" Stupei provoked her up. She tugged on Hamuko, and—"Leaders, I want a piece of the action!"

"Eh?"

"Y-You do!?" Junpei seemed quite shocked with her sudden changed of action. Minato shot him a glare, telling him 'good job you big mouth'.

"Then, it's decided. Tsukikage and Arisato, you two did well in our last operation. So I'll leave to both of you to decide who to go and who to stay as back up team. We might not know what's waiting inside the building." Mitsuru demanded. "Yamagishi, I want you to handle support during the operation."

"I'll do my best."

"Yes, we'll do our best!"

"Understood."

After some discussion, it ended up Hamuko took the lead with Yukari, Akihiko and Mitsuru went inside. Minato and Junpei as support team waiting outside along with Fuuka. It made Junpei protested in the beginning, but soon quick it after Mitsuru about gave him an execution.

"Man…this is suck." Sighing lazily, Junpei sat down on the ground. "It's no fun at all staying here."

"Don't say that. We're important if anything happened." Minato sat beside him.

"Dude, why don't you go along with them? You know, you're a leader too."

Minato took a glance at him before answering. "Never mind that. It's not like I'm the leader in the first place." He only took command last time when Hamuko unable distracted her attention.

"Hmph."

Fuuka was in front of them helping the team to analyze the enemy. It seemed they finally encountered the Hierophant.

"Huh? I still sense another shadow in that room! It's not the one you defeated! But…where it's hiding?"

"What's wrong Fuuka?" Finding something unusual with Fuuka, Minato stood up from the ground and asked.

"No…It's just, it seems there's another shadow somewhere in the building. I can't find it out…like something is blocking me."

"Hey, isn't this is the perfect time we heroes show up!?" Junpei jumped up and yelled excitedly.

"We're not playing Junpei…"

"Wait…I lost trace of them…what the!? The surrounding is…! Be careful Minato-kun, Junpei-kun!"

"What!?"

The surrounding of them like melted into the hotel and absorbing the three of them inside. Minato tried to reach his hand to Fuuka, but when he finally grabbed her hands, the unknown energy became stronger as if it didn't allowed them to escape from its realm.

At the end, the three of them that supposed to be as support team also being dragged into the battle field.
