The first part of this chapter will be set in Mitsuru's P.O.V I will be referring to Thanatos as a male or female in one part based on appearances

I recoiled in fear at what I saw a jet black Persona ripping apart a shadow and Jill on her knees with a sword in her abdomen. Yukari ran over when she seen that Jill fell over "no please wake up." Jill rolled over onto her back, pulled out the sword and said something I couldn't hear. "Watch out" I said as the black Persona floated over to Jill let out a ghastly howl then disappeared. "What happened?" I asked Yukari "She pushed me out of the way of that sword" She said pointing at the slowly disappearing sword "and defeated the shadow. Then 5 smaller shadows attacked but a persona with a lyre defeated them "alright" Minato said "that's the last of them now let's get her to a hospital.

I woke up in a room that looked like a blue armory. "Ah" said a man with a long nose "welcome to the velvet room my name Igor." "Let me guess here is some where I can become prepared for my journey." Igor looked surprised "yes indeed it is." He said motioning for someone "this is Elizabeth she is my assistant." "Hmm can I ask you something?" "Sure" "Am I going to wake up in the real world the day after I passed out?" "No" "how long?" "5 days" "hmm not too bad for getting stabbed in the abdomen." "Well" Igor said while handing me a blue key "dear guest its time for you to leave and next time you come here it shall be of your own volition; but first sweet dreams."

When I opened my eyes again I saw a graveyard with weapons and armor strewn about "You're going to have to fight" I spun around to see Thanatos "if you want to command me." I looked around to see my old army armor, m4 carbine, and 44. Anaconda; I put on my armor, picked up my weapon and side arm then turned to face Thanatos. Thanatos had turned into a mirror image of me that had black armor, green and yellow irises, white hair, and red painted weapons. "Why do you look like me?" "I am you." "Now shall we begin our duel?" I nodded in response "very well." We fought for 5 minutes before I ran out of ammo and tackled Thanatos pulled out my anaconda and put it to her head "I concede" "good" I said getting up and helping Thanatos up. I picked up my m4 and looked at Thanatos who had revered to his original form "I will listen to your orders from now on" Thanatos said while looking at me "but now it's time to wake up."

I woke up to hearing "when will she wake up senpai?" "I don't know Takeba the doctors said she should wake up any day now." I looked around seeing them recognizing the movement as me waking up "ah you're awake" Mitsuru said while setting some clothes and the weapons and armor that Thanatos used down on a table along with a cutlass "these are yours." "I don't need that" I said pointing at the cutlass. "Yes you do" Mitsuru said staring me down "you'll be at a disadvantage if you run out of ammo." "Fine" I said getting up to inspect my new weapons and armor. I picked up the cutlass and 44. Anaconda inscribed on the side of the cutlass was a section of the poem charge of the light brigade: it's not my place to wonder why but to do and die and inscribed on the Anaconda was: cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.

I changed out of the uncomfortable hospital gown into cargo shorts and my black short sleeved shirt. "I'm sorry." Yukari said while looking sad "it's my fault you got hurt; if I didn't hesitate, if I was strong-" "it's not your fault." I snapped not letting her finished "I made my own decision." "I'm like you; my dad died in an accident, and my mom and I aren't in very good terms right now," replied Yukari looking out the window with a sad smile on her face. "I don't mean to lump us two together but…" "It's ok" I said getting back into the hospital bed. "I understand what you mean." And after that she left.
