Persona 3: Dreams Under the Moonlight
By Tayla Drago
Episode #13 - Saori Hasegawa
Evening
A nice way for Faye and Pixie to finish up at the café to work there and Minato walk back at the drome together for a nice night out. And what better to end it all since they had to go back to school tomorrow anyways after a short vacation they had.
Pixie: Ah, Minato…This night stroll's so romantic…
Faye: You two are just friends, Pixie. Anyways, Mino, you didn't have to wait for me at the café.
But there was a real good reason why he was there in the first place…
Minato: It's fine, Sis. I needed to work on delivering some supplies at the care itself. So it was good to pick you up from there after my shift was over. If we need to save this world from Shadows, then we need to make sure we're ready for anything.
Faye: Good point. Let's get some sleep to get through school tomorrow next.
And they do right away after some work and relaxing on a short vacation they just had…
5/6/09 Wed Early Morning
From getting to school, both Faye, Minato, and Pixie hear a group of girls gossiping something about a girl being picked on at the school they all go to. For some other popular looking females were giving her a very hard time. Not good.
Morning
Doing well for Faye and Minato from learning things from their teacher Ms. Ounishi.
Ms. Ounishi: It's hard to teach any of you kids anything if you don't pay attention, but I was pay to do this. So I can at least try. Unlike the Arisato twins, they lesson to my lesson. Thank goodness.
After School
With school ending at long last, Minato had something to say to his sister.
Pixie: Hi, Minato!
Minato: Hi. Listen, Sis. I heard someone saying about some little girl's hanging at the shrine all by herself.
A little girl who plays at the shrine alone? With no friends or family with her?
Faye: How awful…We have to do something-!
Minato: Wait. I don't know if I could go over there alone, but maybe you can with Pixie supporting you. A girl to girl talk to win her over. However, try talking to her with some gifts to give out.
Faye: Oh, good idea. (Mino makes the smart choices for me to talk to a child first before he or the both of us can.) What should I give to her.
Handing out a drink can and some food in a bag to hand to his sister.
Minato: A can of Mad Bull drink and a Weird Takoyaki food. Kids these days love this type of drink and snack. Good ahead, give it a try and see what happens. Sorry I have to make you do this while taking care of the clubs all over this entire building.
Faye: Oh no, it's fine. I'll hand it from here. Leave it to me and I'll keep you posted.
With Pixie pulling Faye's hair a little to get going for she'll do anything that Minato left his sister to do for the time being.
Pixie: Than leave it to us, Minato, anything for you. Come on, Faye. Let's get going already! To the shrine!
Faye: Okay, we're going, Pixie. See you later, Mino.
And off the two girls go to the shrine where the young girl was playing at all alone. Sad, huh?
Minato: It'll work out. Trust me.
A lot to come prepare for anything for this guy, huh? Off to the shrine where the young girl was playing at alone with Faye trying to see how she was doing while Pixie was on standby for her human friend. For her name is Maiko Oohashi – as this character will come around later on for the next big thing soon enough. But first is to win over her friendship to slowly start.
Faye: (Here goes nothing then.) Ah…Hello there.
Maiko: Oh, hi! I'm Maiko. Maiko Oohashi. Who are you?
Faye: I'm Faye Arisato. Nice to meet you, Maiko. I was just walking by to hear people saying about a child playing alone here at the shrine, so I'm guessing the child is you.
Maiko: You have? And what about you, Faye? Mom and Dad said not to talk to bad people…Are you bad?
A smart little girl to never talk to stranger, but Faye's good with others who are good to her.
Faye: No, I'm good.
Maiko: Reeeeally? You're not lying, are you?
Faye: Not me.
And Faye never tells a lie either, Maiko looks as if she wants something. That Minato at the Strip Mall area that sells sea food on a stick.
Maiko: I can't play right now because I'm hungry and thirsty. There's something I really want…
Pulling out from the food for Maiko to eat a Weird Takoyaki.
Faye: Do you like this type of food?
Maiko: Oh! This is my favorite! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
And Maiko took your Weird Takoyaki.
Pixie: This kid can eat.
Maiko: That was so yummy, I ate them all! But, now I'm thirsty…
Now it seems Maiko looks as if she wants something. With Minato getting a Mad Bull drink in a can back at the dorm for Faye to pull out last.
Faye: Time to wash the food down. Here you go.
Maiko: Oh! This is my favorite! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
And of course Maiko took your Mad Bull.
Faye: I'm glad you like them. (Thank you, Minato.)
Maiko: Wow! I'm having so much fun! You're nice, Faye. Will you be my friend? Come play with me again, okay?
Faye: Of course!
Mission completed so far, looks like Faye has Maiko open up a little to not be alone after this.
Maiko: Really!? Then, I'll wait for you here! You better not be lying!
Faye: I won't, Maiko. I'll come back for you later. I promise. Don't play alone or hang out with strangers please. See you next time.
That was easy…Being back there again later on, going back to Gekkoukan High School for Faye to aid Minato at the Student Council President of Mitsuru at the club today. How was Hidetoshi and Chihiro holding up since Hidetoshi was saved? Well, a bit more for Chihiro was a bit distances away from the male students more for some reason. Anyways, another Social Link with this guy again.
Pixie: That Kirijo woman and Minato might need some help in this room again. Come on, Faye. Let's get to work.
Inside they go… Gekkoukan High School, Student Council Room...Faye worked with the members of the Student Council - like Mitsuru, Minato, Hidetoshi, and Chihiro. The hours fly by as you work on the tasks. Doing well for other members...
Minato: Here' some papers from yesterday's project.
Chihiro: Another one from the exams coming up...
Mitsuru: And what's to come around for school events later on. Well done, everyone.
Hidetoshi: But of course. Hmph.
Faye: Glad to help out.
More with Chihiro looking nervous with the other male students later, but she is working hard at the student council thing.
Chihiro: ….
Pixie: Someone is having trouble getting along with the boys.
Hours to pass by for Faye was almost done for today, Hidetoshi started to talk to her.
Hidetoshi: Faye-Chan.
Faye: What's up, Hidetoshi. (Good. I'm glad he's feeling a lot better.)
Thanks to her and the SEES members.
Hidetoshi: Id' like to hear your opinion on something. It's nothing serious, but...Some students feel the school uniform should be abolished, and they're recruiting supporters...
Faye: Really? How pointless it all is for that matter.
Yeah, sometimes things can be hard to agree or disagree with in school rules. For Hidetoshi to smile at Faye to agree with him.
Hidetoshi: You're right about that.
Faye: Some people need to follow the rules carefully. Just not push them unless it's wise.
Nice, looks like Hidetoshi seems satisfied.
Hidetoshi: They think life without rules is freedom. It's ridiculous, plain, and simple. Without rules, the whole system will collapse. They're mistaking selfishness for freedom...Sorry, I may have overreacted.
Faye: No, please don't be sorry.
Some people are just playing it safe, a little overreacting by accident wise that is.
Hidetoshi: But I hate people with no common sense. Sometimes, I can't believe the things that come out of their mouths. I don't mean you, of course. I just want you to understand where I'm coming from.
Faye: I do entirely.
Shaking hands on it with one thing for Hidetoshi had something on his mind.
Hidetoshi: Listen, Faye-Chan. Do me a favor for this club and aid someone when you and your brother Arisato have the chance too. Ms. Fushimi has some trouble with other guys to be around with unless it's the Student Council President herself and you. Maybe the other girls too, but could you get her to be open minded with other guys?
Faye: You mean Chihiro?
Pixie: I thought so.
Seems like Chihiro has a big fear of men only, a shy girl who's busy a lot but seeing other guys to hang out with sadly. Another to thing to take care of later on for sure.
Faye: Then I'll see what I can do for Chihiro later on.
Hidetoshi: Heh, then I'll be counting on you.
Until then, that'll have to wait to aid Chihiro way later on. And it seems you've gained Hidetoshi's trust. Faye's relationship is stronger now! As Hidetoshi's Social Link of the Emperor goes up to 2. It was getting dark out.
Hidetoshi: Why don't you go home, Faye-Chan? I'll finish up here.
Faye: Okay then. See you next time, Hidetoshi. Don't work too hard.
Hidetoshi: ...And you take care.
Soon enough as Faye and Pixie go back home.
Evening
Back home at the dorm now to be night time.
Yukari: ...Oh hey.
Faye: Hi, Yukari.
Yukari: Faye, let's go to Tartarus tonight…Or when we can go somewhere this week. I'm getting worried since nothing's happened since that one day…Is it just me, or are more people getting Apathy Syndrome lately? I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.…Or, am I just being paranoid?
Well, they did train while still doing it at other times.
Minato: We just need to keep all of our guard up, that's all.
Yukari: Minato...Yeah, I hope so.
Faye: Same here.
With Pixie squeezing in front of Yukari to stay close to Minato the most.
Yukari: Hey!
Pixie: Me three!
Soon to work real quick with Faye at the café and to sleep back home for school tomorrow, another day passes. Only for the Prince from within the shadows was still following Faye for no matter she wants to help him out, he only wishes to aid her the most.
Faye: (Huh? Weird, I thought someone was following me….Is it him?)
Maybe so….
5/7/09 Thu Early Morning
Lunchtime
Good hanging out time to have their meals.
Minato: Good food as always, Sis.
Faye: You're good yourself too, Mino.
Even Pixie, Yukari, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Junpei loved Minato's food too with Faye getting better on her end.
Pixie: Yummy!
After School
After school was over, Faye and Pixie hangs out with Junpei for another Social Link with him.
Junpei: Let's get goin', Faye.
Faye: Hey, wait up, Junpei.
Seems like Junpei was happy….They hang out at the Paulownia Mall, Chagall Cafe...Faye came here with Junpei while Pixie was enjoying her tea to drink.
Junpei: Whoa, so this is what it's like inside this cafe...
First time being inside the place, huh?
Faye: It is what it is.
Junpei: Oh, guys can't really come to places like this with each other…
Hey, Junpei seems a little embarrassed…With one question for Faye had to ask her friend.
Faye: Not just here? (First time in a cafe for Junpei.) Where do guy friends go?
Junpei: Uhh…Karaoke, Wild-duck Burger, the manga café…That sounds a lot lamer now that I actually say it out loud!
Junpei laughs…While Faye smiles back.
Faye: I see...
Junpei: Still, this is some damn good coffee. You can tell that the guy who owns this place is really picky about the beans. He probably roasts them all differently using special waters for each type…
Faye: Wow. You know a lot about coffee.
A bit of a know it all there, huh? But there was nothing wrong with that.
Junpei: Hehehe…I just really like coffee. That's all.
And Junpei seems proud…
Faye: You have to like something.
Junpei: Oh yeah, what did you order, Faye?
Faye: Coffee please.
A very wise choice for them to like coffee and having the same thing together.
Junpei: Oh, you got the same thing I did, then. I like the bitter taste. I feel all tough and cool when I drink it.
And Junpei laughs again…With the two of you chatted about different things for a while…
Faye: Now that's nice hand made fresh coffee.
Junpei, Boy, you said it. By the way, are there any guys you're interested in? If you want, I'll totally help you out. It'd be fun being your Cupid.
This has Junpei laughing in a carefree manner…For him to set Faye up with a guy?
Faye: A blind date set up...? (But lately for this Prince guy...) You don't have to do that for me, it seems a lot.
Junpei: Nah, it's fine. Oh yeah, what about Akihiko-senpai? You know girls are crazy about him.
Faye: Akihiko...? (I'm not so sure...)
Junpei: You'd better be careful that he doesn't play you! Wait…Akihiko-San's not that type of guy, so you don't need to worry. It's like the opposite…He'd be way too serious if you were in a relationship…
Faye: It'll be love at first sight for me, thank you. (I hope to see him again.)
For the Prince the SEES members are helping out maybe.
Junpei: Is that so? Actually, why don't you try and get him? Seriously? A transfer student swoops in and steals the heart of the boy every girl wants…For a sister to be related to a brother who seems popular. Lucky bastard. Ha! I'm just messing with ya.
Faye: Mino can take a joke really.
From one student to be well known to then another family member joining in.
Junpei: But don't you think that would be totally cool? Haha, it'd be something right out of a manga.
Faye: Maybe I should give it a try, then.
Something new to try out for Faye? Even though she and Minato to like Manga, it good to do other things that are fun.
Junpei: Ahaha! What do you mean by "then"!?
Faye: What? I'm trying something.
That's how Faye learns a lot with Minato's help.
Junpei: Well, if you're serious, feel free to talk to me about it.
Junpei laughs yet again...The two chatted about different things for a while…And Faye feels like she understand Junpei a little better now…For his Social Links now goes up to 3.
Faye: That was fun hanging out here for a change.
Seeing the time now…
Junpei: Oh crud, is it already this late? Man, I really enjoy being around you, for some reason. Well, let's head back.
Faye: Yes, let's head back.
Faye, Pixie 'after enjoying her relaxing tea', and Junpei went back to the dorm together.
Evening
Akihiko: You two were hanging out at some café?
Junpei: Yep. The place is kind of kick ass!
Pixie: Nothing's more sweeter than tea and cake together to have…
For the looks and good things to drink and eat was all worth it.
Mitsuru: Heh, it is indeed.
Junpei: Hey, have you noticed how many of those freaks are in town lately…? Other than that, nothin's been going on…Man, talk about boring…Let's go to Tartarus for a little action.
When they do go that is.
Akihiko: Maybe I should come along...I'm dying of boredom, too.
Mitsuru: ...Akihiko, are you trying to make me angry.
He still needs a bit more time to heal up some more.
Akihiko: Sorry!
Something to do a bit tonight before calling it a night…
Minato: Let's give Pixie some photo shots at Game Parade, Sis.
Faye: Sure, Mino. Come on, Pixie, try it out with us.
Pixie: Sure. Why not?
And they do for the rest of the night as they get some sleep back at the drone.
5/8/09 Fri Early Morning
Lunchtime
During lunchtime as Faye and Minato were finishing having lunch, Ms. Toriumi comes into their class room to have a word with Faye herself to do something very important today.
Minato: Ms. Toriumi.
Ms. Toriumi: Ah, there you are, Faye-San. Good day to you too, Arisato-Chan. I'd like a word with your sister.
Already finished with lunch anyways.
Minato: She's all yours.
Faye: Yes, Ms. Toriumi. What can I do for you?
Getting down to business...
Ms. Toriumi: You haven't joined any committees yet, have you? I know this is sudden, but there's some positions that just became vacant that I'd like you to take on. I mean, students are obligated to join a school committee. I'll let you choose which one you'd like to join. Which these would you rather join? The school health committee or the library committee?
Choosing well for another thing Faye to do again, she decided with Pixie tagging along again.
Pixie: Which one?
Faye: Ah...Library committee.
Ms. Toriumi: Good choice for the library to do. All right, thank you. Well, go on over to the library after school today.
…So Faye has joined the library committee. For she You must go to the library after school is out today, while Minato does his at school elsewhere.
Minato: Good luck, Sis. I'm downstairs if you need anything.
After School
From danger lurking of Strega member Jin sees his target on site, being the girl mentioned from the later chapter/episode. From outside of the building to see "her".
Jin: Target locked on.
Inside Gekkoukan High School, Library...Lots of other students were assigned to help out like Faye was with Pixie tagging along. With Ms. Ounishi introducing Faye Arisato to everyone else.
Ms. Ounishi: Is everyone here? Allow me to introduce Faye Arisato, Mr. Minato Arisato young twin sister from class 2-F to you like he is in. She'll be joining the library committee. If there's anything you don't understand… Oh, let's see…Hasegawa!
Soon showing up was Saori Hasegawa - who's also Jin's next target to look for the Golden Key. Not good...!
Saori: Yes, Ma'am?
Ms. Ounishi: You're on duty today, right? Teach her how to get around here. Well then, I'll leave the rest to you.
Off the teacher goes to lead the rest to Saori to get to work along with everyone else.
Saori: Understood. Well then…could you come over here so I can explain?
Female Senior: U-Um, Saori-San? Excuse me, but we, um…
Saori: Oh…I'm sorry, I didn't notice. Please feel free to go home. I'll take care of the rest for today.
Female Senior: We're really sorry. See you later…
The other members leave…For other to not do their work and take advantage to poor Saori, she's too caring which is good but without standing up for herself sadly.
Faye: (Ah...Are they allow to do that?)
Pixie: Unbelievable! Humans who use others who are kind and not work their asses off make me sick to my stomach! Isn't that right, Faye?
Faye: Believe me, Pixie, I know.
Sadly, Saori was already use to it even when the teachers couldn't do anything about it.
Saori: Oh, please don't think that the others aren't welcoming you to the club. They're all just very busy…Um…Let's see, where should I start explaining things to you…? …Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't even introduced myself yet. I'm Saori Hasegawa.
The two girls hand shake each other. At least for her to greet Faye and others were fine to like Minato the most.
Faye: Hello, Saori. I'm very pleased to meet you.
Saori: Heh… There's no need to be so formal. I'm a junior, just like you.
Faye: Is that so? You almost look and act younger than me.
Saori: It is fine. You don't have to be so polite to me. But that senior a moment ago…Did you notice? I'm actually two years older than you. I studied abroad and took some time off from school. I'm the oldest student in the school right now.…That's why the upperclassmen all speak politely to me. I really wish they'd stop… but I've pretty much given up about it…Still, considering that we've just met, it'd be nice if you didn't feel you had to be like that around me…Could you just try?
So much for Saori to do well still at this school, a bit too well from her parents' saying so. How rude.
Faye: Oh! Of course I can! I'll give it my all.
Saori: Heh… I'm glad to hear that.
Faye joins the school library committee and met Saori Hasegawa, a fellow junior. As she gets a mature and quiet impression of Saori, probably because she's older than her. Starting up with her Social Links to go up to 1 of the Hermit.
"Thou art I...And I am thou...Thou hast established a new bond...Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Hermit Arcana."
Arcana #7 - The Hermit Arcana -
Portrayed as an old man in a dark place or cave, holding up a lantern, the Hermit is associated with wisdom, introspection, solitude, retreat and philosophical searches.
Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Hermit Arcana are commonly Personas excelling in Mental-Ailment skills. Mythological figures associated with the Hermit Arcana are usually hermits themselves or are otherwise figures or deities that exist and operate behind the scenes.
Similarly, Hermit Arcana characters share the commonality of placing themselves in situations that hide them from the public eye. Hermit individuals hide away from others or act in more supportive roles rather than putting themselves in the spotlight.
Saori: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to explain our duties here.
Faye: Go ahead then. You can tell me.
Saori: We meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we do get a couple of days off before exams. First, let's go over how to check books out. Each book has a barcode on the back cover, so…
Faye was taught the skills you need in order to perform your duties as a member of the library committee. As she and Pixie spent time with Saori in the library until it was time to leave…But before that, Pixie senses more danger.
Pixie: Faye! It's another member of Strega ready to get its next target!
Faye: Saori!
Jin takes aim at Saori with her back turn from the school window…
Jin: Now then….Ready, aim, fire!
Taking aim to firing another weapon at Saori's back to get hit and down for the count…
Saori: Huh…? Ah!
Faye: Saori! Hey, stay with me!
For Faye to catch her body and sees one of the Bronze Key showing up, it wasn't a Golden Key that Jin was looking for.
Pixie: She's fine! Saori's just weak from the his to happen and she didn't have a Golden Key, but still need to fight on what Strega sends out for her. Get ready.
Faye: Right, I'll be ready for anything like this.
With Jin taking his leave, but he tries leaving a Shadow of a Persona form to use when someone doesn't have the key item they're looking for to limited the target in the end for the event of the Dark Hour causes it more too. So mess up to do for Strega, huh? SEES only seen Metis as one of them but not others with Jin in person so far.
Jin: (I better take my leave while leaving the mess to be clean up. Maybe while I'm out, I can study the ones who have been in our way so far. Whatever…) Come now, Wheel of Fate – Fortune.
Tayla: Persona #32 – Fortuna
Fortuna, also known as Lady Fortune, is the goddess of fortune, chance and luck in Roman mythology, daughter of Jupiter and Venus. She can be represented veiled or blind. She is believed to have originally been a goddess of blessing and fertility, mainly being worshiped by mothers. She was also treated as the personification of Luck. She is the Roman counterpart of the Greek minor goddess Tyche.
Her cult dedicated the date of June 11th, and on June 24th a festival called Fors Fortuna was held in her name. She was an important goddess in the day-to-day lives of the Roman people and was later merged with the Egyptian goddess Isis. In antiquity, she was also known as Automatia.
This goddess, unlike others, didn't disappear from culture when Christianity settled in Europe, and she was often referred to depicted in poetry and painting, being called Lady Fortune. She is also one of the entities that can be seen in the Wheel of Fortune tarot card.
Fortuna: Your Wheel of Fate has shown disaster is waiting to happen right now!
Crashing into the school building for Pixie's shielding to keep Saori safe with her magic, Jin takes his leave.
Jin: I better retreat f or now.
Off he goes, leaving Faye to power up and leaves a group text message for the others 'or one of the SEES members' to give her a hand right away.
Pixie: I got Saori! Since you tell the others, one of them will show up soon! Now your chance with the other humans out of danger, Faye! Hurry!
Faye: Got it! My Persona! Orpheus, awaken!
Having her female version of Orpheus out and ready for battle to shot Fortuna from crashing inside the building with glass everywhere to burn up.
Fortuna: And who are you supposed to be?
Faye: Stop it! Don't hurt this girl! I don't know why Strega's doing all of this to other innocent lives, but that doesn't give you the right to throw them out like they're nothing! Back away now or else!
From some fire blasts to throw at Fortuna as a warning to stay back, however her special wheel which is part of her body puts out the fire in seconds.
Pixie: Aaaah! That's unfair!
Fortuna: Is that all? Sorry, but your fortune has just run out. So let me cool you off from my wheel until it….CUTS YOU INTO TINY PIECES!
Having her wheel move on it's own and fast to make powerful wind blowing all over the library room 'with things flying all over the place' and making more wind powers to fire at.
Faye: What are you doing-? HEY!
Using her staff, this sends Fey flying all over to try landing back down safely.
Pixie: This Nightmare of Shadow's wind is too strong to do anything to her!
Faye: Really? Then I can't do this battle by myself!
All Faye can do now is to use some ice powers to try slowing Fortuna down in any way she could before she gets cut down, or until backup arrives from the other SEES members sooner than later. For now….She needs to defend herself and run for it!
Fortuna: Come on! Try to hit me! If you can that is why I spin a lot from my wheel. So let's go!
Cool off badly to freezing up alright-like was a battle for Faye gives it her all against Fortuna as long as she can hold her ground carefully. From the strong winds from Fortuna's wind power of her wheel body making a mess inside the school building with Pixie's magic protecting the out cold Saori and Faye holding on to her own battle ground until help arrives was close of breaking Pixie's magical barrier.
Pixie: No! Don't break!
Using her weapon of strength power of her Persona skills next, Faye tries to hold the Shadow's power back for as long as she could before losing her grip.
Faye: Saori!
Fortuna: Close of break! It's time to blow this battle to sky high away! Just a little more now. No human can withstand my power for very long.
Almost close to get cuts a lot from the sharp air waves and Faye about to be close to Pixie's barrier to break, something happens. A flash of light appears to aid Faye right in front of her.
Faye: Huh?
Pixie: Prince?
It seems Pixie recognizes the powers from the trapped prince himself of his spirit powers to aid the SEES members 'Faye the most' against Fortuna's attack to cancel out. An all charge up attack happening…
Fortuna: Hey. Why did my attack slow down?
For Faye to see not one, but two of the Princes forms to be big to small? Huh…? But it was really hard to make out on what his true form looks like to one of them or so. His Persona or what?
Faye: (This feeling….It's Prince.)
Prince: Fear not, Faye Arisato. Anytime you're in danger, I'll be here to save you as I am right now.
Powering up to use Faye's attack on the wheel power of Fortuna to put it an end right away….
Faye: (He's helping me!) Ah, right. Lighting Black Slash Attack!
Firing one off and send Fortuna flying as her own attack was thrown right back at her to get lots of cuts for the tornedo room to finally stop. Leaving Pixie's magical barrier not to break or Saori wasn't hurt in the progress. What an epic back attack there!
Pixie: (He did it.) Wow! Faye, that was amazing!
Faye: I did it…? (I wasn't alone in this battle; Prince came to my rescue again.)
Getting back up for some fighting was still within Fortuna to use other wind to air sharp moves for her wheel to still have some power from within in.
Pixie: Ah, Faye…? The Shadow.
Fortuna: No! No! No! No! I won't let you defeat me that easily-!
Minato: Star Storm Breakdown!
And in comes Minato to destroy Fortuna's wheel to be broken into pieces on her body and is worthless now.
Fortuna: Aaaah! You ruined it!
She does the Anime upset face of tears in her eyes in defeat.
Faye: Mino!
Pixie: It's Minato!
The other girls were happy to see some backup arriving 'even Pixie the most'.
Minato: Sorry I'm late, Sis. The others had to make sure the other students were safe outside on a fire drill test while a battle was going on here. I had to make sure they all got out safely before coming back to aid you.
Faye: I'm glad you did.
Time to say the line to their enemy while Fortuna was down for the count, might as well do it too.
Fortuna: I can't lose…! Who are you, humans?! Answer me!
Faye: We are the members of SEES! To fight for what's right from Strega or bad Nightmare Shadows out there to restore the kingdom of Dreams and Nightmares. I'm...Faye Arisato!
Minato: And I'm...Minato Arisato! We protect to those we care about with good hearts and dreams of their own!
And then they say the last part together.
Faye and Minato: We won't let the Dark Hour continue!
Pixie: Glad to hear it! Now finish this Nightmare Shadow off, you two!
It was time for the final move to use 'as always'.
Minato: Please, ruler of reality...We need your strength. Twilight Wave!
Using it for the Prince of his shadow-like spirit of his two forms again show up.
Prince: Anyone who's on Faye's side, I'll be there to aid her and any of you who stop even like her.
Powering up for Faye fires her attack on Fortuna.
Faye: Flare of Darkness, Fortuna of Wheel of Fortune...Bond by Power with me!
Using it for this Nightmare/Shadow of Fortuna of evil was gone to become a cards now and Faye with Minato's too of their new skills to use for battle.
Fortuna: I should've not been fooled by these humans…! And now I've been captured.
And the battle is done for Fortuna was now the Arisato twins to use her skills in battle and all things are back to normal all around the building – all thanks to both the Prince's skills and Pixie's combined. That's how all things go back to normal after battles like this unless it's during the Dark Hour at Midnight. It takes time to fix the areas afterwards.
Pixie: Victory!
Minato: That's how I like it.
Faye: Alright! Another victory at hand for us! (But, Prince….No wait, he's beginning to trust me. And maybe me, so I guess we're even now.)
Taking off now from within the shadows for Prince leaves yet again.
Prince: See you next time you call upon me again.
Seems like Faye wasn't too worried about it, for he'll come around soon to not be worried as she'll get the change to talk to him soon. For now Pixie heals up Saori to place her somewhere alright to relax at until she wakes up.
Minato: Sis?
Faye: I'm fine, Mino. I'm just happy to see this Prince is on our side.
Minato: Yeah, me too. How is Hasegawa doing, Pixie?
Pixie: She's just fine. Other humans will think she had to go to the bathroom for the fire drill thing happened the last second, so I wouldn't worry about it. But we better join with the rest to think we're with them already. Let's go! Let's go!
Placing Saori's body down gently near the bathroom of the library room, all is well. This was Minato, Faye, and Pixie's chance to head on outside.
Faye: Good idea, Pixie.
Minato: And more activities to do with Hasegawa later, Sis?
Faye: Of course. Saori's good, I just need her to be more positive to herself. I have a feeling that she'll get there in no time. (Rest up, Saori, I'm glad you're safe.) Come on.
Minato: Alright.
Taking off in a hurry as Mitsuru, Yukari, Junpei, and Akihiko knew both Faye and Minato would pull it all off in the end with Pixie's guiding them and all. As Saori finally wakes up to think she was daydreaming, it was really real to her. The same as Hidetoshi, Bunkichi, and Mitsuko was.
Saori: (Oh…dear me. I must've fallen asleep again for working so hard. Maybe. I believe I saw Faye finish working and leaving before I could go home too. But the dream I had of her and Arisato saving me f or some mad woman…? I wonder…)
Maybe she and the others will know soon enough, maybe…? Yeah, for some special Social Link ones that is.
Evening
What a day at school that was, but it all turned out well in the end as it always does.
Mitsuru: Welcome back, you two.
A nice greeting from others as always.
Faye: Hi, Misty.
Minato: Hello...
He was blushing again...Cute.
Mitsuru: …It's odd, really, how quiet it's been.
Akihiko: You're referring to the Shadows, I take it?
Mitsuru: It's been a month since the attack, yet I'm certain that won't be the last time they appear outside of Tartarus.
Akihiko: True…Lately, it seems like The Lost are everywhere. So, something must be going on…
Yeah, and SEES members need to be on their guard with another Full Moon was showing up tomorrow. Could that mean something?
Pixie: So, anyone up for some arcade fun?
Well, Yukari and Junpei tag along with Minato and Faye to get out for a night at Game Parade to playing some Horror House for a while before heading back home. Night time happens for they all go back home to sleep; while elsewhere something was growing somewhere near the train station area for the second of the 13 Coins of Fate Arcana Shadows…Like the Fate of Fool, the Fate of Priestess is about to appear. Making the Miki Sanada ghost worry to support SEES and her brother to take off, this one was bad. This was known as The Angry Princess - Dana Newman. For the main Queen villains unleashes some of her powers for it yet again.
?: (I should've known the first of the 13 Fate Arcana Shadow would fail; it doesn't matter…I have a few more to aid my doing. The Fate of Priestess will do wonder for me. As for the other members of Strega…Perhaps another strategies of finding the Golden Key must be found as soon as possible. For the Prince…)
Not knowing yet of the Prince 'other than the good one from Nightmare Kingdom' and the female villain's true identities – who knows when we'll get there just now. But for right now, the second of 13 Fate Arcana Shadow will soon make her move elsewhere on the island itself. Another battle for SEES to take care of next time.
