Spoilers for P4AU up ahead... just a little heads up... nothing serious, its just the rest of S.E.E.S's occupation
"With pleasure" I said as I got into the fighting stance taught to me in the Soujutsu club.
"This should be entertaining" my evil twin smirked as he mimicked my stance
"Kala-Nemi!" I shouted as my Persona materialized behind me and electrically charged my spear
My double responded by charging towards me.
I pierced and kicked my opponent as many times as I can and finished it by summoning my Persona who grabbed him and threw him to the other side.
"It's time to get serious!" my double said as an imitation of Kala-Nemi appeared behind him and materialized a thousand of electrically charged arrows which came raining towards me.
I did not have time to defend myself as those electrically charged arrows pierced every part of my body and shocking me in the process which disabled me from walk towards or even retreat from my enemy.
Seeing the opportunity that I was shocked, my doppelganger charged towards me and pierced and kicked me as many times as he wants, but I interrupted him by summoning my Persona which blew him away.
He recovered while in mid-air and as soon as he landed he immediately charged at me once again.
I responded by charging at him, as soon as I reached him, he immediately summoned the imitation of my Persona and I was blown away.
'It's time to get serious" I said with conviction as I summoned my Persona and had him materialize three sets of spears. Two of which pierced my enemy as soon as I pointed my index finger at him and the last set of three spears levitated in front of me and serves as my first line of defense.
"Kala-Nemi!" my double shouted as my Persona's imitation materialized behind him. Then a second later, a lightning bolt stroked me, fortunately the spears that I summoned earlier served their purpose as they disintegrated once the attack finished.
I summoned Kala-Nemi to materialize a thousand electrically charged arrows above my opponent and as soon as motioned my hand downwards the arrows came down, knocking down my enemy as a result.
"Time to end this!" I shouted as I got my evoker, pointed its barrel on my forehead and pulled the trigger.
Kala-Nemi appeared behind me then he proceeded to grab and throw me upwards, he then quickly dashed towards my double and pierced my doppelganger's downed form repeatedly then proceeded to grab my opponent then threw him towards me as soon as I began my descent.
The bladed tip of my spear connected with my shadow's bare chest while my Persona started spinning rapidly.
The two of us landed with my double's back first on the floor.
I regained my footing by stepping on my opponent's stomach and then walked a little towards the left. Moments later a giant lightning bolt hit my opponent's down form.
I quickly summoned Kala-Nemi again and let him perform a Mediarahan on all of us, sans my shadow.
"Of course I would win" I said as Kala-Nemi vanished from sight.
"hahaha this is fine with me." The sinister double said as he got up, as if nothing ever happened
"Good enough for my purposes that I confirmed you have enough power to meet my expectations" he dusts himself nonchalantly as if his defeat never mattered in the first place.
"This is only a temporary form. I doubted there'd be any meaning in changing my appearance, but sure enough, it made for a very enjoyable game." Everyone starts to gather around the two of us.
"all that irritates me is having feign cooperation with that foolish human until I obtain the one true vessel…"
Foolish human, does he mean the hacker?
"I will see you in another guise next time. Just wait until then."
"The real you will meet face the same consequences soon. Choose your last words carefully." Mitsuru-san spoke up with her 'Empress aura'
"ahahahahaha!" my double chuckled evilly as he starts to fade out of existence.
"Fuuka-san!" I shouted
"The reading disappeared. It didn't move, it just… vanished, what could this mean?" Fuuka-san replied
"Tch! Back to square one again!" Akihiko-san clicked his tongue in annoyance
"'Another guise,' huh?" Narukami-san muttered to himself
"Don't even think of about coming around here again!" Satonaka-san shouted to no one
"What are we up against? Our enemy seems to be targeting Persona-users" Shirogane-san whispered.
It seems not even the Inaba residents know who the enemy is and neither does the Kirijo-san's group know.
The enemy had extensive knowledge about Labrys that not even Kirijo-san knows, it could be that this being knows all the inner working of the Kirijo group.
Gathering powerful shadows is the general objective, but what will they do with them?
I then saw Mitsuru-san signal at Akihiko-san.
"Don't worry about it. We'll handle things from here" Akihiko-san spoke up
"Wait, but it kinda said that it was still after us." Hanamura-san rebutted
"Of course, you should be aware that the enemy is out there. Akihiko only means that there is no need to abandon your lives to pursue it." Mitsuru-san clarified
"We will do our best to ensure that no harm comes to you. That is, after all, our duty"
"That goes for you too Ken" Akihko-san added
"But…!" Hanamura-san began to object
I don't expect them to like Mitsuru-san's answer.
In fact I myself don't want to be left behind this new journey
But, Mitsuru-san's goal has always been protecting me and these teenagers of Inaba or the whole world from the Kirijo group's previous heads' evil deeds.
"… Guys, let's leave this to them" Narukami-san cuts off Hanamura-san's objection
"Yu-kun!" Satonaka-san exclaims in surprise.
"Are you serious!" Hanamura-san is also surprised by Narukami-san's decision
"They're right that we need to go back for now. We're all at our limit.
When Narukami-san signals to Hanamura-san, the latter's complaints fall silent. That hardly fooled anyone, even me. Either they take Mitsuru-san as an imbecile, or think it won't even matter if Mitsuru-san does catch on…
He really is natural-born leader, able to make everyone listen to him no matter the complaints.
Teddie jumps around, his footsteps sounding highly unnatural, to catch out attention.
"Alrighty! Attention, please! The trip doesn't end until we get out of the TV."
"Dude, we were In the middle of a conversation" Hanamura-san rebuked the mascot in annoyance
"What are you doing with this very old TV? Wait where'd you even get this?!" I asked
"It's a Teddie-vision You can get out from here!"
The teenaged people of Inaba exchange banter as if there was no problem to begin with.
"How's Labrys?" Mitsuru-san asked Aigis-san
"There wasn't much damage to her motor functions. I don't believe it will take much time to repair her" Aigis-san replied
"Still, the stress on her cognitive functions must have been severe. It may take some time for her to awaken."
Aigis-san's gaze fell to the motionless body of her sister unit
Hotel Room, Real World
When we returned to the real world, imagine my surprise when we appeared inside Junes' electronics department.
I quickly buttoned my unbuttoned shirt and am relieved to see the blade of my spear disappear.
After escaping further embarrassment, I quickly gave my room's keys, which was inside my pocket the whole time, to Amagi-san and went with Mitsuru-san and the others who were staying at a hotel in a nearby city.
Upon arriving, Mitsuru-san immediately began barking orders on how to handle Labrys-san while Fuuka-san prepares to check up on the Aigis-san's sister.
I am currently sitting inside one of the rooms Mitsuru-san rented as she checked and reviewed on some paperworks she left unattended due to today's events.
"We will begin our discussions once everyone is here" Mitsuru-san said not even sparing me a glance.
Well that's Mitsuru-san for you
"understood"
Some people who are apparently Mitsuru-san's subordinates went in and out of the room after Mitsuru-san has instructed them.
Once the last of the men in black were outside, Aigis-san served Mitsuru-san a cup of tea.
"Here you go Mitsuru-san. Thank you for the Hardwork"
"Ah, thank you" Mitsuru-san received the glass of tea and sipped from it.
After a few idle conversation between Mitsuru-san and Aigis-san, a knock was heard
"Its me, Akihhiko"
"Come in"
Akihiko-san, still in his travelling nomad attire, went inside the room
"Akihiko, shouldn't you at least put some clothes on?" Mitsuru-san asked
"What? This is the only that's left, all the others were ripped to shreds" Akihiko-san explained
"Mitsuru-san, if I may?" Aigis-san began
"No, you may not" Mitsuru-san dismissed with a sigh, "you could have at least borrowed some shirts from the others" Mitsuru-san spoke now addressing to Akihiko-san
"That's rather unethical, I mean abusing your powers and all that" I muttered, expecting nobody to hear me.
"The kid's got a point Mitsuru, we'd be abusing our powers if we do that
"yes, that is true. I see something's never change" I feel my face redden in embarrassment
Another knock was then heard.
"It's me, Fuuka"
"Come in"
"I'm sorry I had to summon you on such short notice" Mitsuru-san apologized to Fuuka-san as soon as she entered the room
"Oh no, it's all right. I was on vacation too, after all" Fuuka-san replied as she helped herself on the couch beside me.
"How is Labrys?" Mitsuru-san asked, back to business
"She's still resting. There was a lot of stress on her, so we might have to carry her out"
"I see, we can discuss this later. Amada, what do you think is our profession?" Mitsuru-san asked
Akihiko sat on a stool beside Mitsuru-san by her table full of papers.
"As far as I can tell from the situation earlier, I'd say you're working for the government with specialties that lie in shadows and Personas" I stated honestly, "though it could still be a Kirijo group exclusive endeavor" I added
"Great deduction Amada, as you have deduced we are working for the government, though as for the S.E.E.S members, only Aigis and I are full time members. Mitsuru stated
"Iori, Takeba and I are only part timers. Iori has his Baseball team to coach, Takeba is still in college, while I'm traveling around the world training. I'm sure you've already heard of it." Akihiko said
"As for me, I may also be considered a part timer since, I can be summoned by Mitsuru-senpai" Fuuka-san explained
"I summoned Yamagishi to help us locate Labrys while she's outside the TV world" Mitsuru-san explained
"Though, you must understand that we can't divulge any details to a civilian, such as yourself, the specifics of our organization" Mitsuru-san informed me.
"I understand"
"Don't worry Amada-san, one of Mitsuru-san's inspiration for initiating this organization was your situation from two years ago"
I just sat there feeling embarrassed.
Just then a paper fell from my pocket.
I picked it up
I remember pocketing this piece of paper after fighting Labrys-san
"What do you have there Ken?" Akihiko-san approached me.
"T-this paper contains all the demeaning titles those high school students has…" I trailed off as all three older members of S.E.E.S went behind me and read the contents of the paper I was holding.
"Mitsuru-san! This paper also has our names on it!" Aigis-san exclaimed
"And it also gave us titles"
"Let's see, The man who lusts for Power returns. The two fisted protein junkie."
"Punishing evil from her lonely throne. The imperious queen of executions"
"Her fingers are guns, her eyes are sights. The heartless armed angel"
"Mommy, mommy where are you?! The pint sized avenging crybaby"
My jaw dropped at the ridiculous title given to me, and the others also have varied reactions.
"hmm, it seems I am heartless" Aigis-san nonchalantly said
"What's wrong with protein, it helps to become stronger and build muscles!" Akihiko-san may not have shouted but his voice is full of conviction
"I see, who our enemy is, he or she has extensive knowledge about us" Mitsuru-san's aura turned ice cold as she become frustrated.
"And we don't know a thing about them!" Akihiko-san, who calmed down when he felt Mitsuru-san's anger, said.
"In any case, Amada, you remain vigilant but don't abandon your life just for this cause." Mitsuru-san ordered me.
"if you ever get involve in a Shadow situation, contact us immediately" Akihiko ordered me
"Yes, I understand!"
