An ambush then friendship with a little extra
Minato was being crushed by the spider like shadow while the goddesses battled the shadow knights, IF, Compa and Satomi stood there knowing it wasn't safe but couldn't bring themselves to retreat, while their allies were in a battle.
Minato focused his power and channelled a Bufu spell around his body. The result was the giant shadow's hands froze over, with all his strength he smashed himself free and leaving the giant shadow with one least pair of hands.
Satomi looks as Minato breaks free, her face lightens up and she calls "Milord…"
Minato turned to look at Satomi, Compa and IF when he notice something sneak up behind them. He calls out "look out. Behind you!"
Satomi looks behind herself, If and Compa did the same after Minato warned Satomi, what they saw were more shadows wrapped in robes with blue masks with the number one on them.
Flames dance around the cloaked shadows, the flames stop then shoot towards the only humans there. They just barely dodged it, IF tried to shoot at them but her bullets passed through each time.
Seeing this, an idea popped into Minato's head, he hit the giant shadow with a zio knocking it down he then ran over towards Compa, IF and Satomi.
He jumped in between them and the robed shadows without looking at them he asked "I'm guessing you want to fight as well right?" IF and Compa looks at Minato surprised that he asked that.
IF was the first to answer "Of course we do. How would you feel if your friends were fighting for their life's and you weren't able to help?"
Compa went on "But all our attacks go through them meaning we can't defend ourselves at all…" she said the last bit with a hint of sadness in her voice.
The robed shadows fired more Agi spells at them, Minato switches his base persona to one that absorbs fire, Minato held out his hand and all the flames were gathered into his hand, the flames were absorbed healing Minato and restoring his SP.
Minato asked the girls another question "Even if it meant risking or potentially losing your own lives?" he turned to look at them, they were surprised he asked them that, but they soon answered by nodding their heads. Minato smirked then snapped his fingers. Minato, IF, Compa and Satomi were surrounded by multiple lights and felt a massive surge in power, for the girls anyway.
Minato points to the robed shadows "IF, trying shooting them again" IF didn't what Minato was planning but did as he said. When she fired the bullets hit the shadows, not only that it seemed to have hurt them.
IF and Compa were shocked that it did damage. Minato seeing their shocked explained "You see the reasons your attacks did nothing before was that your wavelengths and the wavelengths of this shadows are on different levels. The shadows have a higher level wavelength then the humans of this world, meaning they can hurt you but you can't do anything to them. What I just did was I modified your wavelengths so you could fight this things yourselves. Also I used a support spell called Heat Riser, which increases your overall battle ability" he said this while shield the girls from the wave of flames the robed shadows were trying to kill them with.
IF, Compa and Satomi were shocked at what Minato did, he basically gave them the power to protect and fight alongside their friends. When the flames died down IF ran towards the shadows. However, to the untrained eye someone would think she teleported towards them since her speed was increased by Heat Riser. She slashed at one of the robed shadows with her pair Qatar. The attack seemed to be affective so she decide to keep attacking with her Qatar and adding some kicks in.
They all heard the giant shadow roar after it got up from Minato's zio spell. All the armour and robed shadows broke away from their respective fights and gathered near the giant spider shadow. The shadows get into a formation with the armour ones in front of the group the robed ones and the giant spider behind them.
Minato, IF, Compa, Satomi and the goddesses gather together when the shadows get into formation.
Blanc glares at the group of shadows "Damnit, these things are organized!"
Green Heart looks at the shadows "It seems these things really are more than just power"
Black heart glances at Minato "you fought these things before right?"
Minato answers with a nod, afterward Purple Heart asked "Well then any advice?" the robed shadows suddenly released a massive wave of flames leaving no room for the group to escape. Minato stretched out his hand and created a barrier that protected them from the flames. While the shadows attacked with their flames Minato said "I got a plan. Anyone's interested?" Minato glanced towards the group that nodded their heads, "Alright, any of you that can attack long range focus on the robed shadows, while everyone else hold off the armoured ones. I'll take out the giant one, it seems to be the leader of this little pack" they all nod getting ready to fight.
Minato looks at the goddesses "Also one more thing for the goddesses" they look at him wondering what he had to say "When battling you four, I noticed that you all mostly charge into battle without thinking. Using all your power to defeat your enemies. While it is admiral to fight with everything you have, if you don't came up with a plan before you battle shadows or use your power wisely, you're pretty much as good as dead" the goddesses were annoyed that he said that but soon took the advice to heart.
When the flames stopped he said one thing before they countered attacked "Don't get reckless. It's do or die right now!" he ran forward and used a zan spell to give himself a boost into the air. He focused on the giant and smaller shadows that he didn't see the others fighting.
The goddesses kept the armoured knights messy with melee attacks, IF and Compa started firing bullets at the robed shadows.
When Minato was high enough in the air he summoned Mjolnir held it up high and gather electric energy. He swung the hammer down and hit the giant shadow in the face. The force was so great it sent the shadow to fall on its back. Not long after a shock wave of electricity shot out in all directions shocking the other shadows too. Seeing all the shadows were knocked down he called out "Everyone attack at once!" they all went in for an all-out attack, which came with an anime like dust cloud covering up the fight in which someone would be sent flying out before re-joining the all-out beat down.
When it was finished the shadows took massive damage, everyone was okay except for Minato who got slashed by an armoured shadow from behind. It seemed like most of the shadows took every chance they had to attack Minato. He managed to dodge it but had a gash on his left arm, forcing him to replace Mjolnir with Lucifer's blade.
The smaller shadows were starting to turn into dust, however the giant one seemed to be turning into dust at a slower rate. Without warning the giant shadow jumped to its feet and let out a high pitch roar, forcing everyone to cover their ears. Minato was less affected by it because the roar wasn't as bad as the scream his persona let out when he stopped them learning a new skill.
Minato looked at the shadow and saw it rip something out of its back, upon closer inspection it was a giant sword. It pulled the sword back aiming to crush the group, however without thinking and going on instinct Minato got to the front of the group and parried the attack with Lucifer's blade,. Minato kept parrying the attacks until the two blades were locked. The two tried to push the other back, however in this fight of strength Minato was going to lose and he couldn't switch persona for a strength boost like this. Also the fact he only had half the strength of his left arm didn't help.
Minato yelled "Feel free to jump in anytime!" the goddesses nodded and took to the air and finished off the shadow with one last combination attack while Minato kept it busy. It fell to the ground and started to turn to dust at a must faster rate, Minato turned around to see how everyone else was. Everyone didn't look too hurt overall they'd be alright. However something caught his eye, it was Compa with her giant SYRINGE. Minato hoped she was a nurse, Doctor or medical student otherwise he may need to keep his distance.
The goddesses and their allies started to see Minato in a kinder light, since they all saw him jump in front to protect them. They were the ones who did the protecting but having someone protect you wasn't a bad feeling.
They all look at Minato and notice he was holding his left arm, upon closer inspection they saw the blood on his arm, seeing this Satomi ran towards Minato "Milord! Your arm!"
Minato looked at the worried expressions of the girls around him, he looked at them with a soft smile and answered "Don't worry I've had worse than this" Minato then channelled Mediaraham into his right hand and snapped his figures. Minato and the girls were caught in the light of the spell healing their injuries. The girls felt the warm soothing light as it heals them while Minato's wound is completely healed.
After the wound finished healing Minato showed his arm to the residents of this new world to show he was fine, Compa came over and inspected to make sure the wound was healed. When she made sure it was ok, by feeling were the wound was while having a blush on her face, Compa looks at Minato wide eyed "Wow! It doesn't look like it was hurt at all"
IF came over next "Yeah, an injury that bad would have taken a couple of weeks to heal properly…"
Satomi seeing the impressed look on the two hero's faces and the looks of interest from the goddess Satomi couldn't help but smile and say "Well… milord is the saviour of our world. There is literally nothing he can't do!" Minato looked at Satomi "Satomi, please be careful with what you say"
Satomi suddenly stands straight and salutes Minato "Yes Milord! Sorry Milord!" Satomi's actions caused Minato to sigh.
Minato looked at the shadow as it completely turned to dust, however he notice a shadow on the ground moving into the forest at high speed away from the group. Minato wondered what it was but just thought it was his imagination.
Minato looks at the goddesses and their allies with a smile "If I may I would like to thank you all" this caught everyone off guard.
White heart looks at him "For what?"
Minato answered, losing the smile "For the shadows, if you didn't save me there, there was a good chance I could've have died" Minato knew that the chance of him dying by those shadows were low but his was still grateful for the help.
Black heart blushed a little before saying "Of course, those things are a threat to our nations. Why wouldn't we help?"
White heart replied "Besides, we had a score to settle with those shadows anyway"
IF says "Me and Compa should thank you, because of that buff spell you gave us we were able to take on those monsters" Compa went on "Thank so much Mr Minato now not only we can defend ourselves but others as well!" the goddesses look at their human now knowing how they fought off those shadows.
Green Heart came forward "If I may ask? Do you by chance have experience in a leadership role?"
Minato looks at wondering why she asked that, but answered "Yes, I have had experience taking the lead in battles"
Purple Heart then suggested "Then would you lead our charge against these shadows then?" everyone looks at Purple Heart "It's clear as day that you're the most experienced person to deal with this monsters and an excellent leader. So will you take the lead. Of course we goddesses and our allies have your back" everyone soon nod their heads in agreement.
They all turn their heads to see that Minato narrowed his eyes "Nice speech, but I can tell your just forcing the leader responsibly to me because none of you want to be the leader" everyone were taken aback by what he said, even though it was true. Minato sighed "But given the situation… very well I accept the position Purple Heart"
Purple Heart replied "Neptune" Minato looked at Purple Heart, who turned back into her human form "My name is Neptune, Purple Heart is really more of a title anyway. Sorry we didn't use our real names"
The other goddesses changed back into their human forms as well. Black Heart stepped forward "I'm Noire, CPU of Lastation" she said with pride, White Heart went next "Blanc, CPU of Lowee" she said in monochrome fashion and lastly Green Heart "I'm Vert, CPU of Leanbox" she said with a refilled voice.
Minato smiled at this and replied "Well then… I hope we can get along. I'm still new to this world so please take care of me" all the girls blushed at the "take care of me" part.
Noire cleared her throat then said "Well since you're new to this world… perhaps it would be best to show you our nations that you'll help protect" she said with a slight blush.
Neptune got excited after she heard that, Blanc answered "Alright, I've been looking for a new book to read so this is a good a chance as any, so I'll tag along", Vert replied "Likewise, however I will be searching for games. So I'll accompany you as well".
So the goddesses and their allies took Minato and Satomi on a tour of their world, of course Satomi called home first to tell her aunt and uncle were they were.
They heard a noise behind a tree when they turned to look at it out jump out a slime thing with a dog face and tail. Minato's sweat dropped and asked "What the hell is this thing?" he turned to his allies who told him it was a dogoo, a very common monster in their world. Minato decided to ask about the monster thing later. He was about to leave when he turned around and faced the dogoo, summoned Orpheus and incarnated the monster. He turned to face his new allies who were looking at Orpheus floating behind Minato. He pointed at his persona and said "This one of my powers. I am able to summon over one hundred beings called Personas, which is what Orpheus here is" Minato thought he may as well show this to them now.
Omake 2 a different escape
Minato was being crushed by the giant shadow. He thought of any way out, finally he decided to channel the power of one of his strongest personas signature move.
He looked at the giant shadow, face to mask, his fire started to stand up on its own reveal both his eyes, Minato calls out "fire of Sinai" a red laser shot out of Minato's eyes and hit the shadow between the eyes, it lasted for about two minutes before the shadow was completely destroyed.
All the other shadows ran away after the big one was gone. Minato rubbed his eyes because they felt like they were on fire. When he regained his vision he looked to check on the others, however everyone else were more focused on Minato. Asking why they were looking at him they answer in unison "YOU CAN SHOOT LASERS FROM YOUR EYES!"
now for the preview i promised
Special preview of Hyperdimension Messiah Re Birth
Histoire calls out "If anyone can hear my voice… please help us" as soon as she said this a blue butterfly flies to her from the void.
Neptune woke up in Compa's room, afterwards Compa told Neptune she found the two knocked out. When Neptune asked who she was with Compa points to an eight year old boy who was sleeping against the wall. The boy had long blue hair and wore clothes a couple sizes too big.
IF looked at Minato up and down and said "If Minato was a bit older, I would feel confident leaving it in his hands, but the way he is now and with you two this world is doomed. So I'll tag along"
Minato clutches the sides of his head in pain "The time for your reawakening is near our beloved master" multiple voices ring inside his head.
Minato looked at Arfoire who just pushed Neptune back. The shadow of his bangs covering his eyes "Hey! Witch lady!"
Arfoire looks at Minato who raises his finger to her and fires a blast of holy energy. The shadow of his bangs left reveal his pale blue eyes had turned completely silver with a gold pupil "Leave my friend alone"
A masked figured looks at Minato "You cannot escape death. To live is to die, they are one and the same"
"Listen well Minato for these are the words that shall free your memories and your true power. Memento Mori"
Minato replied "Memento Mori, remember your death. Remember my death" Minato fell to his knees losing his strength.
Before anyone could react a load bang was heard everyone turned to Minato in horror. They all scream "Minato, NO!"
"It matters not who you are, Death shall forever await you"
