Margaret, Elizabeth, Theodore.

These three are siblings, working under the master of the velvet room, Igor.

It was unknown why they serve him but it was believed they had been with him since childhood.

However, their role are not only being his servant, his assistance, or guardian, but also his power as the three, all, hold great power that was capable of destroying the world.

Take example of Elizabeth.

She once had served Igor as an elevator attendant and helped Arisato Minato as he wander in the Labyrinth Tower, Tartarus. Then she began building a relationship with him and soon discovers that he had already grown and becoming much more powerful than they first met.

She challenged Minato to fight her alone without bringing his companion.

At first, she had taken Minato lightly and not using her power at full charge. However, that was enough to put Minato in a dry state which he almost died several time with that colossal power. Yet Minato was able to resist and with the help of his persona and his fighting ability, he was able to survive and defeated Elizabeth.

However, it needed Minato to fully use up all of his own luck which, after the battle ended, he found Elizabeth still with more strength than he is even though she was defeated. And he, himself, was almost lost conscious if not for Elizabeth to help him and instantly teleport him back to his room.

If one has to say, the power of Elizabeth is one, just one, level under the Mother of Night, Nyx.

Not to mention one of her skill which can instantly sent one toward the Heaven or the Hell.

And now, two of her siblings, Margaret and Theodore, also gain the chance to fight Minato, Elizabeth's former opponent.

But Minato was not alone this time. It was unsure if it can be called companion or friend, but Minato was definitely not alone.

A person, a girl, with brunette hair, a cheerful one, a beautiful one, also fight together with him.


"Where are you looking, Minako-san?"

"Huh?"

Minako barely able to dodge Theodore's fourth persona: Raphael's pierce attack.

"I dislike opponent who are not focused on her own battle."

"…"

Minako didn't respond.

"Hm… it seems you are very eager to end this fight… Then, I am he who governs power... Even with you now, I still should have pose a challenge. I will unleash everything this time. As I know from the start, you have been fighting me with the intention to kill!"


"Don't lose focus!"

Margaret said as a strong tempest hit the area where Minato and Margaret fighting.

Minato quickly hide behind Orpheus. Hide from Oukuninushi's wind force.

"You had showed me that you're not dulled even though you already become such a seal."

Margaret un-summon her persona.

"It looks like there will be another one who might defeat me. That's why… I'll tell you now, discard any concern you may have for me! I won't hold back any longer. For this one rare moment, I will have to enjoy!"


"Freeze."

Within a moment, the floor had become blue.

It becomes ice and the space suddenly being cold. But Minako had no time for such trivial matter.

She raise her weapon, and then opening her eyes which caused Eurydiceto once again pull the string and send a mighty thunder toward Theodore.

"Close!"

But it was deemed unaffected as the attack was absorbed by a persona which Theodore just summon.

After the ice, Theodore use a mighty thunder attack, strong wind, pitch darkness, and bright light toward Minako but none of them do much damaged.

"Hm… it seems all Elementals attack was pointless. Then, what about physical strength?"

He changed his persona to a big toad which let a word slipped out of Minako's mouth.

"Disgusting."

This, for a moment, made Theodore speechless but he quickly went:

"Ahaha. So funny, Minako-san. I see that you are trying to make me lost focus by insulting my persona. But that won't work on me."

But it seems to be working because Abaddon, Theodore's disgusting persona's attack was missed by itself.

"Oh, so it doesn't work huh? But I'm not trying to insult, it really disgusting."

Theodore smile, he doesn't answer and his only answer is another attack by Abaddon's long tongue.

"P-please don't use his tongue! It really is disgusting!"

"…"

Not only Theodore this time, but his persona also seems to be stopped moving.

Then it vanished, and a Thedore opening his book, closing his eyes while the book changed page by itself.

Then a card appears and within a moment, Theodore's yellow eyes were gleaming.

"Beelzebub!"

"What now, you summon a fly?"

Once again, they (both Theodore and Beelzebub) were rendering speechless.

"Hm? What's wrong? Don't say that my insults really pierce your heart?"

"Haha, so funny."

"Really?"

"Yes, it was. By the way, Minako-san. Do you mind if I ended your life here? My sister and your "brother" seem to almost finish as well."

Hearing that, Minako smile.

"If you can."

She said with an intimidating voice.

Minako let go of her naginata as it vanished and disappeared, Minako then step back, closing herself with Eurydice.

"Then, can you endure this?"

Beelzebub quickly fly towards Eurydice while attacking her with its staff, Beelzebub then fly above, ascending toward the empty space.

From there, Beelzebub stopped and on its staff, black dot slowly gathered then Beelzebub point the staff at Minako and Eurydice which caused the black dot gathered at where they stand.

"It will be painful… Megidolaon."

Then the black dot, that was gathered, suddenly explode heavily, strongly, deeply, and caused the surrounding in a white-black layered.

After a moment, all disappeared.

The layered, Beelzebub, the vision of brunette girl and a long brunette harp-playing persona, all had disappeared.

Thedore closed his book, turning his body toward where his sister is fighting.

He had claimed the victory of this battle.

"Hey."

But suddenly, he heard a voice.

"Where are you going, Theo? Running away?"

"Hm? … You survive…"

Theodore was astounded by it.

When he turned his body, looking at the source of the voice, looking at Minako and Eurydice still stand with nothing changed on their body.

"How?"

"Well… I didn't need Ananta and Vishnu anymore to use Infinity… Eurydice had saw it countless of times which got it planted on itself on her brain… I guess?"

Hearing that, even Theodore cannot believe it.

Infinity was a fusion skill of two personas: Ananta and Vishnu, which granted the caster a barrier which block all kind of attack, no matter what it was.

For one to master a fusion skill and planted it on her persona, not needing the two necessary persona, Theodore was even more amaze.

Logically, for human this was impossible, but…

"… it seems like my loss was decided from the very beginning."

"I don't really know that. Adjusting your attack and my skill was very hard since even if I was able to use it, Infinity with only one persona can only last for the max of 30 seconds and using it multiple time will make my body drastically exhausted. So if you were to use a skill instantly after that last one, then maybe I had to repeat that world again."

"Heh… So that's how it is. I see, but why are you telling me this?"

Eurydice had vanished.

Minako walk forward, step by step closer to Theodore.

"Because I'm looking forward for our next battle. A warm-up battle with an ultimate boss… If only this was a game, then it'll be really ridiculous."

She passed Theodore as she put off her earphones.

At that same time, Theodore vanished while saying his words: "Then I will wait for you in that world."

"Yeah… But I'm not going back anytime soon."


At the same time as when Theodore was fighting seriously with Minako, the same thing happened with Margaret and Minato.

"You look so calm, not caring for your surroundings, your friend, other people, and even not afraid of Death. So why is it that you sacrifices yourself?"

"…"

"The floor had becoming cold. Which mean Theo had chose to unleash his full strength. Is it okay for you not to help your companion?"

"I believe in her."

Minato close up on Margaret and instantly stretched his rapier which Margaret parries it with her book.

"Believe in her? Do you know who she is?"

"No."

"Then why do you believe her?"

"I just do."

"I see… One last time, why are both of you fighting?"

"Because there's an opponent."

"If there wasn't?"

"Then we wouldn't fight."

"Why are you accompany her?"

"Because she's the one who brings me."

"From your eternal slumber?"

"Maybe."

"… What about your persona? Why are you summoning it?"

"…"

This time, Minato didn't answer.

Margaret smile.

It's not because Minato's answer, but because Minato DO answer all of her question.

When she ask him something that is related to the person "Minako" he immediately answer but when she ask him something that is unrelated to the person "Minako" he didn't even give a sound.

What does this mean?

That question crossed Margaret's thought but she already knew the answer which she then close her eyes.

"I see… I see… You are indeed a unique person."

*Prank!*

Then the moment after she finished her sentence, the space is like a cracking window.

The cracking sound was heard distinctly in Minato's eardrums.

The floor becoming black once again as Margaret looks into Minato's eyes from afar and Minato can see a fairy king floating in front of her.

Margaret was in deep silent.

She's not moving so when did she summon the fairy king?

But regardless, the fairy king was not like usual. By "not usual" it means that the aura around him was more violent which Minato never felt or seen before.

"It was intriguing talking with you. But I am disappointed as our talk session must end."

The fairy king then raises his thin sword.

Gathering so many violent energies at one point which even Minato couldn't tell what it was.

"Now then. You who govern Death… You who chose to protect humanity… You who had faced the Absolute Destruction… I will use all my strength, for this one last attack… Can you endure it?"

Just then, the black space crack once more and the darkness begin filling Minato's sight.

Only the bright blue eyes and the glittering yellow eyes was visible in that spot where everything had begun to vanish.

The skill Megidolaon was activated.

The unavoidable destruction befalls Minato.

"…"

Everything had gone.

The space becomes empty.

"…"

Margaret smile, as if she was accepting a defeat even though she won.

"So…"

A word slipped her lips.

Her eyes slowly opening, showing her bright yellow eyes which appear so beautiful in that empty space, looking at one straight direction.

"You chose to let me live…"

In that empty darkness, which her eyes had been staring for a while, is a giant white sphere with two tiny black spheres inside which is cracked all side.

In those tiny spheres, one was empty, and the other one was filled with almighty explosion of a violent fairy king.

"Sealing the space I created in a space you created in order for both of us to survive… An impossible power for a human, but…"

She turns her head.

Behind her was an image of a dark being, a chained statue with no face, a golden door with many eyes, and a feeling of ominous deep dread.

"I supposed… Fighting you was one experience I wouldn't be able to forget."
