Labrys got up from the ground and watched her Shadow standing there with a maniacal smile. Labrys raised her fist getting ready to fight her Shadow. "Ahahaha, you're way too trusting for ya own good." Shadow Labrys walked closer to her other self.
"She may be, but we aren't." Mitsuru pressed a button as mechanical arms latched onto her arms and legs, they pulled her to the wall stopping her from moving.
"You think this will be enough to stop me?" Shadow Labrys starts pulling the restraints but wouldn't budge no matter how much strength she used. She soon gave up as a dark and ominous aura started to surround her. They watched as a giant hand came from the wall and grabbed Shadow Labrys and pulled her into the wall. They all looked around wondering if she's going to reappear somewhere. Suddenly the same giant hand appeared under Mitsuru and sent her flying into the ceiling. A giant bull creature came up from the ground and fired a laser-like beam at Yukari which knocked her into a wall from the force of the blast.
Shadow Labrys slowly rose from the ground and she stared at Mitsuru who was lying unconscious on the ground. Asterius lifted its arm over Mitsuru and it slammed its arm down but was stopped by red energy spears. The spears stopped every movement the bull Persona was going to make. "What!?" The same spears appeared under Shadow Labrys.
"I'm not letting you hurt my friends!" Shadow Labrys struggled against the things restraining her, but it wouldn't budge but the same could not be said for Asterius as it slowly started to move. The bull Persona broke free and fired the beam at Labrys, but then a giant shield appeared in front of her stopping the beam from making contact.
"Thanks, sis! I owe ya one!" Labrys said as Aigis walked next to her.
"Come, Sister, let's stop her together."
Asterius roared at them as lifted its arm and went to punch the two who are going against them. Aigis' Persona, Athena, block it from hitting them and Labrys' Persona, Ariadne, sent three small needles at the giant bull which didn't seem to do much. "What? Is that all you got?" Shadow Labrys laughed at them.
Ariadne flicked its wrist as three gears formed underneath it and started cutting the giant bull. Labrys tried to run at her Shadow but a giant arm stopped her progress. "Aigis! Can you handle her Persona while I go after my Shadow?" Aigis nodded at her and sent Athena to stop the giant bull from doing anything to Labrys. Asterius opened its mouth and fired a beam at Labrys but Athena blocked it. It went to punch Athena, but it raised its shield up and as soon as Asterius made contact. Athena deflected the attack and pushed it against the wall and stabbed it.
Labrys ran at her Shadow who is looking at her waiting for her to attack. "You're going to attack with your Persona? That's so unfair." Shadow Labrys arrogantly smiled at her.
"I know you can handle it. Besides, you were able to handle Sho by yourself." Labrys readied herself for anything.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, but I had a weapon before." Labrys ran at her Shadow once she was close enough, Labrys punched her in the face but Shadow Labrys recovered quickly and kicked her before she grabbed her and slammed her into the ground. Shadow Labrys jumped out away before she got trapped by the spears again. "Not gonna work a second time!"
Aigis blocked every attack the bull Persona threw at her but she started feeling weak and she watched as Asterius dissolved into the ground. She looked everywhere and watched very closely for anything that might be it. She noticed it appeared under Labrys' Shadow, it was holding a giant axe, Shadow Labrys grabbed it and she slammed it where Labrys was standing. "Now, we're even!"
"Where did you get that?!" Labrys gained distance away from her shadow.
"I had my Persona get it. Duh!" Shadow Labrys jumped at her and swung her axe but two spears appeared in front of her blocking the attack. "Tch, Stop resisting already!" Shadow Labrys started getting angry.
"Just please stop this!" Labrys ducked under her swing and kicked her away.
"Why would I? You don't know who it feels to be trapped in there! With no way out and all you can see are memories of our past!" Shadow Labrys ran at her trying to hit her.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm talking about being trapped inside that stupid black box!"
"I kinda know how that feels. You know I was stuck inside a container for years." Labrys dodged the attack that was thrown at her and sent her Persona to attack. Shadow Labrys attacked the Persona and Labrys started having the feeling of tiredness.
"Yeah, that's true, but I can see all the other units when I was in there!" She slammed the axe onto the ground and she jumped at Labrys to attack her.
"Really?!" Labrys jumped away from her.
"Yes, I'm always reliving those times! The worst of it is that I keep seeing her! And what we've done to her!" She turned towards her other self and she jumped at her and suddenly a bolt of purple lightning hits her. "Ahhh!"
"I would've been here earlier," Akihiko said as he walked in the room. "But I was trapped inside a room from the lock-down."
A giant arm stopped the lightning from hitting Shadow Labrys and it slammed into the ground were the Persona was. Shadow Labrys slowly got up from the ground and looked at the three standing in front of her. "Tch, more pest I gotta deal with."
Asterius went for the punch the newcomer but Athena block and Ariadne trapped it to stop it from attacking. Akihiko's Persona, Caesar, flew towards the bull to slash at it but the bull broke free before they could retaliate. Asterius grabbed Caesar and threw it at the other Persona's. Aigis blocked the axe flying towards them and she jumped away as the axe was pulled back from the chain arm that was holding it and she decided to attack since she was open. Shadow Labrys jumped behind some equipment to shield herself from the bullets.
"Sister, what do we do? She seems stronger than before." Aigis said as she stopped firing.
"Don't worry, I got something planned I just need something." Labrys turned around and watched Akihiko carry Mitsuru and Yukari out of the room while their Persona's fought against Shadow Labrys' Persona. Shadow Labrys jumped at Aigis and slammed her axe on her but she was able to block it. Aigis grabbed the axe and threw her at the wall to try and stun her.
She recovered quickly and sent her Persona at the three. "Go, Asterius!" The bull Persona sinks into the ground and they looked around for anything that could give a sign of where it might appear. They jumped out of the way from Shadow Labrys attacking when they heard something behind them. Asterius turned its attention to Akihiko and they watched as the bull punched Akihiko into the wall and it fired the beam of fire at the other two. Athena blocked it quickly and then before they could counter Asterius disappeared back into the ground.
"Die!" Aigis stopped Shadow Labrys' attack and suddenly she watched as a hand grabbed the Axe and yanked her towards her other self. Shadow Labrys struggled against her other self and she looked to her Persona to try to get some help but that plan ended up not working as she noticed that there are a lot more spears holding down her Persona than before.
"Now, we got you!" Labrys struggled to hold her down and Aigis pressed a button which again restraints appeared which grabbed and held her down while Aigis walked towards them.
"Ugh... I guess I'm going back?" Labrys looked at her while Aigis stood next to her.
"...No."
"What?!" Her Shadow surprised by what she said.
"You would have to live through all the pain and suffering we went through, I'm not letting you go through that, again."
"R-Really?"
"Yes, you're just going have to promise me that you won't do anything bad." Labrys stared at her Shadow waiting for an answer.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, but you're going to promise me or else."
"Okay, I promise. I may be a Shadow, but I keep whatever promise I make." Labrys told Aigis to let her go and they watched as Shadow Labrys fell to the floor and she looked at the floor the whole time they went to treat her friends.
