CHAPTER 20 / Shade

February 22nd 2010

Dear Yukari,

Ever since the last battle, I still wake up minutes before midnight, and even though I know that the Dark Hour is long over, my body hasn't forgotten it. I still tense up the seconds before the clock ticks over to midnight. I wonder if any of the others are the same. I think maybe out of everyone, Mitsuru is. After all she experienced the Dark Hour almost completely from the beginning. And there might even be many others in the world that experienced the Dark Hour and we would have never known.

Not just in Japan, but all over the world the Dark Hour was experienced. This makes you wonder how the nature of the Dark Hour occurred. I mean we were only in Japan and the furthest we traveled away was Yakushima but was in the same time zone. I wonder if the Dark Hour occurred at the same time all over around the world or not. If so then that would mean it would be the Dark Hour at varying times all over the world. Or maybe the Dark Hour traveled, and stayed specifically at midnight, so regardless of where you lived it would always be at midnight. Well the former makes more sense to me.

I can't help but wonder if there were many more our own age that had the potential and were fighting Shadows in their own region. It might be hard without evokers, but we know it's possible to evoke a Persona without one. Takaya was able to do so quite well although maybe not as elegantly as someone else might be able to. Then again Takaya wasn't really all there to begin with. But I'm sure there are those more than capable of summoning a Persona more naturally. And maybe if we all trained more on summoning we could probably achieve it as well. Although we really didn't have time to focus on silly things like that. Still it would be a good skill to have because dependency on an evoker can be crippling if it gets taken away. Just like when we were taken by Ikutsuki and all of us were hopeless without our evokers. If we had just been able to summon it naturally we could have gotten away.

All of that would have taken time, and honestly it wasn't that important. But I wonder what will happen now... Shadows aren't gone from the world. They never will be. I'm sure there would be more incidents. If Shadows are the suppressed emotions of humanity then there is also many other possible problems that could occur from it.

Maybe I'm thinking about things too much since my time is becoming shorter. Still, I wonder what fight against Shadows will happen next.

Love Always,
Arisato Minato

November 2nd, 2009 / Evening

"Tomorrow will be our last operation," Fuuka said. Minato said nothing as he leaned up against the wall behind the couch. He wasn't sure how anyone could honestly believe that. Yet here they were the night before they faced the final Shadow and in all that time Minato could never find a solid argument to show them otherwise. Well, he was glad that the smirky bastard Ikutsuki was nowhere to be found tonight.

"Yeah, we've been through a lot this last six months. Don't you think," Yukari walked up and pulled Minato into a hug, dragging him away from his spot by the wall. "You don't get to just stand by today."

"Well, it's been a rough ride. Then again I suppose going against unnatural enemies like Shadows, it would be," Minato said as he let Yukari pull him around and onto the couch next to her.

"It was a lot better than doing nothing, right? Besides, we made some new friends. And some of us became a little bit more than that," Junpei added grinning at Minato and Yukari.

"Yukari and I getting together didn't happen just because of our fight with the Shadows I hope you realize," Minato grumbled.

"Oh so you're going to deny that you coming to her rescue several times didn't have a slightest effect in the development in your relationship?" Junpei was having way too much fun with this topic.

"Anyway," Minato waved it off. "I guess we can't completely dismiss it. It isn't like all of us would have met each other normally, or been able to get as close as we have."

"Yeah, I guess," Ken said from his spot at the end of the couch.

"Well, it's all been worth it, if you ask me. It's been two and a half years since I got this power…and you don't hear me complaining," Akihiko smiled.

"Sanada-san," Ken looked at him, which was accompanied by a bark from Koromaru.

"Two and a half years is a long time. Oh wait…For Aigis, it's been even longer, huh?" Fuuka asked.

"I was asleep for much of the time, so I have not been in operation for very long," Aigis supplied.

"How 'bout you, Mitsuru-senpai? You started before Akihiko-san, right?" Junpei was quick to redirect the conversation again.

"Me?" Mitsuru seemed off guard for a moment. She was sitting at the end in her usual spot. She had been reading a book but placed it down on the table. "Yes, it was just me at first. Of course, back then SEES didn't exist, and this was just a regular dorm."

"Did the chairman recruit you?" Yukari asked.

"No," Mitsuru shook her head and kept her eyes looking down to the coffee table in front of her. "I've been aware of the Dark Hour since I was a child. One time, my Father's research team was attacked by Shadows. That's when I awakened to my Persona…when I witnessed the incident."

"That's what happened?" Yukari was definitely surprised by this revelation. Minato actually wasn't surprised, being surrounded by all of that would eventually led to some sort of development. He was actually more worried about what happened after that. It probably went fine for Mitsuru since she was the daughter of the CEO of the Kirijo Group. If it had been someone else…well…the experiments that led to the Dark Hour were not something he could even imagine. But he doubt it would have been anything humane or something that would be readily approved by people.

"It seems I was the first…if that had never happened, perhaps none of you would have to bear this terrible burden," Mitsuru sighed.

"You're wrong," Minato said simply which had everyone looking up to him. "The existence of Shadows and Personas was there long before you. Although they had created them artificially, there were actually several mechanical maidens like Aigis that had already been made."

"I see, so you're saying that they would have discovered people that could naturally summon Persona's before. This is the only reason they were able to do the research they did." Mitsuru smiled seemingly amused.

"More than likely. Didn't your Father say something about the Kirijo Group originating from a different company? Do you know if maybe the research of Shadows and Persona's originated there?" Minato asked.

"I don't know. I haven't heard much about the Nanjo Group. I suppose it is a possibility," Mitsuru mused.

"Either way, it would have happened to someone eventually, even if you didn't awaken to your Persona. Besides, it isn't like we can ignore the enemy," Akihiko said.

"I suppose that's true," Mitsuru sighed once more. "Everyone just make sure you get some rest tonight. You'll need your strength. Just keep in mind it is likely that Strega will show up to stop us."

Minato got to his feet, "Kirijo-san I need to talk to you about something. In private, in regards to tomorrow's operation."

She eyed him for a moment, "Alright. Meet me in the command room." Mitsuru then walked off.

"What is it about, Minato?" Yukari asked.

"Yeah, why can't you tell all of us?" Junpei pushed.

"Just trust me," Minato put his hands in his pocket and followed Mitsuru up the stairs and to the fourth floor and into the command room.

"What is this in regards to, Arisato?" Mitsuru seemed curious.

"I won't be a part of tomorrow's operation."

March 14th, 2011 / Late Evening

There was little room to move, but Hamuko pressed forward behind Kana. A Shadow that had taken on her image simply because they had been friends. She wished she could remember more about it but the only thing that had come to mind was the Shadow's name. Hamuko felt like she was very close to remembering something very important, but it remained just out of her grasp. She wondered if it had been the same for her brother. Most of his life he had gone forgetting the moments around his parents death, only knowing the broad strokes of what had happened. He knew he had been there, but somehow his parents had died but he survived. He had not been in the car that his parents had died in. Somehow he was actually standing some distance away from it. But that was just what he had remembered...there had not been any guarantee that what he remembered was correct. And he had been quick to point out that possibility in the journal.

Yukari had told Hamuko that they were very close in the journal to showing what had been the real reason. And that it was something that had nearly broken Minato. After everything she had read and learned about her Brother, she knew that it would have to take something significant to affect him so drastically. It was comforting to know that he had pulled out of it, but…she could only imagine what it was like to experience it. There was no way for her to know.

Kana held up her hand to stop them. Hamuko looked past her to see the forming of two Shadows in front of them. She stepped forward and took Kana's hand. "Leave this to us, Kana-chan."

"Hamuko, I don't want you to…"

"It's okay. Besides, these guys are the reason you never left your room, right?" Hamuko eased Kana back behind her and offered a smile. She remembered. Hamuko could remember seeing Kana being so scared when she was small. But Kana hadn't taken a form back then, she had still been a Shadow…but somehow Hamuko had known. "The others, you were always scared of. But don't worry; I'm with you this time."

Kana nodded, "Be careful, Hamuko."

It didn't feel awkward or odd to be worried about by a Shadow that had taken her form. Copying her down to her clothing. The only thing she didn't have was the holster, evoker and a Naginata. Other than that Kana's only real difference in appearance was her golden eyes.

Hamuko took the lead and charged forward with her Naginata. The first of the Shadows lunged forward but instead she jumped into the air. A shot and an arrow passed from underneath her and hit the Shadow. Reeling back it couldn't avoid the blow as Hamuko came down hard and slashing through it with her Naginata. The Shadow quickly retreated back, but had taken significant damage. Hamuko held her weapon in her left hand as her right pulled out the evoker from its holster. She hesitated only for a moment but put the evoker up to her head and pulled the trigger. "Setanta! Zionga!" A lightning blast struck the retreating Shadow stopping it in its tracks and dazing it.

"Isis! Garudyne!" Yukari added her own bombardment to the Shadow causing it to disappear.

"Athena! God's Hand!" Aigis rushed forward attacking the other Shadow. A gigantic hand came down crushing the Shadow, forcing it to fall on its back.

"Alright guys! Let's do it!" Hamuko charged forward with Aigis and Yukari right behind her. Holstering her evoker, Hamuko brought up her Naginata. The three of them ruthlessly pounded the Shadow until it disappeared. "Whew, nothing to it. See, no problem Kana-chan."

"You've gotten strong, Hamuko. And you're friends are strong too," Kana walked up to Hamuko with a smile on her face.

"Only because I had to be," Hamuko looked over to Aigis and Yukari, "But they've been fighting Shadows for a long time."

"I see. That explains it," Kana nodded to herself. She began to lead them down the hall again until they reached a door. "This is what they called the Show Room."

"The Show Room?" Yukari wondered aloud. "You mean where they would showcase…wait showcase the children?"

Kana nodded her head. "The experiments were often done here. They often put Hamuko in this room and then subjected her to us. They felt they were close to forcing a natural potential out of Hamuko. However, we never had any malice towards Hamuko. Curious would be more accurate. And Hamuko was never scared of us. So they…changed their methods."

"What do you mean?" Aigis inquired.

Hamuko felt something cold run up her spine and caused her to shiver. This door…it looked so familiar. But like Kana had said, she had been here many times. She stepped forward and Kana stepped aside allowing her to enter the room. The room was circular and about twenty feet in diameter. And upon entering a light could be seen from up above. There was seating up above obviously so people could watch the experiment.

"No! No More! It hurts…it hurts," Hamuko screamed. She couldn't get away from the men that surrounded her. Tears poured from her eyes like a waterfall, but regardless of her cries the men did not stop their torture. She screamed as pain racked her body with a new intensity she had never felt before.

She stumbled forward; Aigis and Yukari were by her side.

"Are you alright?" Yukari asked.

"They tortured her. They cut her, electrocuted her, injected her…they did so many horrifying things to her," Kana spoke. "Coming here has reminded her of all that. She's remembering what they did."

"My, my, do you feel at home, Takahashi?" a menacing voice came from above them. Hamuko forced herself to look up and saw the man named Yoshimitsu.

"You! Why are you here?" Hamuko yelled fighting the returning memories as she spoke.

"While it seems this place is no longer of use to me, it has served its purpose for a time," the man's attention seemed to shift to Kana for a moment. "Hmm, it seems even after all this time the Shadow continues to take your form. Interesting but irrelevant to my research. However this place will serve just as well for your next trial. I have faith that you won't let me down." Yoshimitsu laughed as he disappeared from view.

"It was him! That's the man that made Hamuko suffer!" Kana let out an animalistic growl.

"You too, Kana-chan," Hamuko said most of her energy seemingly gone from her voice. "Fuuka-san, can you track Yoshimitsu's movements?"

"No, for some reason I can't sense him. It's like he was never here to begin with. But I sense the movement of a large Shadow heading towards you. You need to find a better ground to fight at," Fuuka's voice came telepathically and warned all of them.

"Where can we go that has enough room?" Hamuko asked looking over to Kana.

"The cafeteria should have plenty of space. But we may have to get past several Shadows in order to get there," Kana answered. "It's the large double doors at the end of the hall."

"Did you get that, Fuuka-san?" Hamuko asked.

"Yes, I've found the room. It should be more than big enough," Fuuka quickly replied.

"Let's make a run for it then. Just run past any Shadows we encounter. We can deal with them once we're inside the cafeteria. Hopefully we'll have enough time to set up for the larger Shadow," Hamuko took a deep breath and tightened her grip on her Naginata. "Let's move."

Hamuko had to keep moving, if she stopped then she was certain that an onslaught of horrible images would flood her mind. She remembered, she remembered all the horrible things that happened not just to her but the other children, and even the Shadows. They tested to see if pain could directly influence the appreance of a Persona, or if the same thing could influence a Shadow. The results were not what they had hoped for. Children had died, and even the Shadows showed little response to the experiments.

Then all of that suddenly came to an end. But it didn't end quietly or without incident.

"Kana-chan! This way!" the young Hamuko pulled on the Shadow to follow her. Her legs hurt, had it been so long since she'd gone this far? It had to be just a little bit more to get to the exit. Although Hamuko could only remember a little bit of when she had been first brought in here.

"Where is Takahashi? Someone find her!" a man yelled.

The Shadow then pulled Hamuko suddenly into a nearby closet and closed the door. The Shadow then took a form for the first time. After a moment it looked exactly like Hamuko but instead had golden eyes.

"Kana-chan, we have to go, we can't…"

"Please stay here, Hamuko," Kana spoke her first words here. "Wait for the coast to be clear and then make your way to the far end of the cafeteria. You can get out using the emergency exit behind the kitchen area."

Kana turned to walk away but Hamuko grabbed her hand. "Where are you going? Don't go, Kana-chan."

"I'll be fine, Hamuko. I'm going to make sure they don't follow you, okay?" Kana gave a smile. "Thank you, Hamuko for everything. You treated me as a friend. So please get out of here. That's what I really want."

Kana broke away from Hamuko's grip and ran down the hall. "Kana! Kana-chan!" Hamuko heard a noise and quickly retreated back into the closet.

"It's her! Takahashi is heading towards the lobby!" A man yelled as he ran past the closet. "Everyone head that direction!"

So that was it. It wasn't that Kana had taken her appearance because of her memories; she had actually done so to protect her when she had escaped from the facility as a child. And somehow she had been trapped inside this facility after that…or simply just never left. Hamuko could imagine the thoughts that had led to Kana staying there. After all she was a Shadow. If she understood it, she was a collection of Shadows that had merged together. Meaning there must be a lot of repressed emotions lying under the surface. But this wasn't a normal case because Kana was more than capable of thinking for herself. How did that happen? A shadow that had gained its own wish…was that really possible?

It couldn't be denied as the proof of it was right behind her as she ran down the hall. The same hall they had taken to try and escape before. Now it was infested with other Shadows. Other Shadows that had been subjugated to the experiments of the Kirijo Group…and most likely some that had killed some of the other children. This time she'd be able to take Kana with her for sure.

Hamuko used her Naginata as a pole vault and launched over a group of Shadows and ran through the swinging double doors to get inside. Aigis, Kana and Yukari all were right behind her and they all turned back to the double door as they came to a stop.

"Here they come!" Yukari warned pulling out her evoker.

"Use your group attacks on the doorway!" Hamuko yelled. She quickly switched her own Persona. "King Frost! Mabufula!"

"Magarudyne!"

"Akasha Arts!"

The combined attack was enough to bring the charging Shadows to a complete stand still. To which the three continued the bombardment and after a few moments destroyed all the pursuing Shadows, not even allowing them an inch into the cafeteria area.

"Stay alert, the large Shadow is closing in on you. I can't quite pin point what it is but I feel it is of the priestess arcana. I can't tell much either than that," Fuuka warned.

"Thanks, Fuuka-san," Hamuko looked over to Kana. "It's because you're with me that I'm remembering, isn't it?"

"Yes, I thought that might happen," Kana looked away. "If I had the choice I would rather you had never remembered what happened here."

"But Kana-chan…If that is true then…you would still be in that room and…" Hamuko shook her head. "Why did you stay here?"

"I was trapped here. It took them a while to realize that I wasn't actually you. That hardly mattered because this place was quickly shut down shortly after the Dark Hour had begun," Kana sighed. "The Shadows here became crazed during the Dark Hour, so I was forced to stay hidden. Then some time ago the Dark Hour ended but the Shadows here did not calm down in the least. How did the Dark Hour end?"

Hamuko smiled, "My twin brother stopped the Dark Hour."

Kana blinked, "You have a brother? A twin brother?"

"Yes, and it is that scientist Yoshimitsu that took me away from him and my family. That's why…"

"The Shadow is approaching. Prepare," Aigis warned.

"I have to find out the truth about the past, and my family. I want to know how my Brother was able to do what he did, and why…why things ended up the way they have," Hamuko said as the ground around them began to shake. She gripped her Naginata a tighter grip. "And maybe…I'll finally know who I am."

The Shadow busted through the double doors, sending the doors flying off their hinges and to different corners of the cafeteria. They had flown off in such a high velocity that they hadn't even touched the ground, and the doors were embedded in the walls.

"Holy hell," Hamuko stepped back.

"You sure that isn't a chariot?" Yukari brought up her bow and readied an arrow. The size of this Shadow was even bigger than the one they had fought on the roof of the dorm.

"Be careful, it's starting to cast something," Fuuka warned them.

The Shadow was that of a woman that had six arms and each holding a different kind of weapon. A sword, lance, hammer, knife, a crossbow and an axe. It suddenly dropped the weapons onto the ground, but six other Shadows instantly appeared and took the weapons in hand.

Hamuko took an uneasy step back, as did the others. "Now it's suddenly seven on four…Just how is he even controlling these Shadows?"

"Fuuka, see if you can scan any of them," Yukari called out.

Aigis quickly buffed all their defenses as the three of them took steps back to where Kana was. Hamuko knew that they wouldn't have much time before the Shadows attacked them. She kept her evoker holstered and took a step in front of everyone, spinning her Naginata she took an open defensive stance used for multiple opponents. She couldn't keep running, not like this.

The Axe Shadow attacked first coming in with a jumping attack. Hamuko took only a half-step back and spun around bringing the blade not to attack the Axe Shadow but to block the Sword Shadow as it came in to attack. Gently and easily redirecting the attack, she rolled over the Shadows back and whipped her Naginata around and hitting the Knife and Hammer Shadows away from her. Continuing her motion she stabbed the Naginata into the ground and used it to vault over the incoming Lance Shadow attack. Landing on top of the Lance Shadow she flipped backwards avoiding the arrow from the Crossbow Shadow and used the momentum to free her Naginata from the ground as she landed back on the ground. She automatically resumed her defensive stance.

"Be careful, I can't get a clear read on any of them. But it doesn't seem like they have any strengths or weaknesses," Fuuka warned them.

Hamuko couldn't focus on that, once again the Shadows launched an attack on her. The Sword Shadow lunged forward along with the Lance Shadow. Instead of dodging it she instead met the attacks head on and blocked them both, forcing them to cross each other's weapons by forcing it with her Naginata. Then using the strength of her Persona she forced the weapons down and stepped on the weapons, spinning and slicing through the necks of both Shadows. She jumped away as the Axe Shadow came crashing down with his weapon but instead sliced cleanly through the Sword Shadow causing it to disappear.

"That is one sharp axe," Hamuko muttered jumping back for a moment. Aigis and Yukari were there and opened fire on the Shadows with their weapons. After firing a few arrows, Yukari pulled out her evoker and unleashed magarudyne. It didn't seem to be effective but it at least tossed them all back and gave them some room.

"This is no good; they have an incredible amount of durability. The only one that we've killed is because one of their own hit it," Yukari said as she let loose another magarudyne to give them more room.

Even Aigis and Yukari's as strong as they were couldn't easily dispatch them. That meant Hamuko needed to make sure she didn't take any direct hits. Maybe it was easier said than done. If she hadn't been as dedicated to her Naginatajutsu then she wouldn't have been able to survive as long as she had. So all she had to do was rise to the challenge and come out on top.

Spinning her naginata she jumped forward into the offensive. She avoided an arrow from Crossbow Shadow and then sidestepped with a twist as Lancer Shadow lunged with a thrust towards her. Things happened too quickly. She spun driving her weapon into Lancer Shadow's back, and then collapsed backwards as Knife Shadow attempted to attack her. Falling under the attack she pulled out her naginata at the same time and used her momentum to do a reverse roll and pop up on her feet. She let her momentum carry her back further and spun the naginata to deflect an incoming attack from Hammer Shadow. But the force of it was more than she could handle and she lost her footing. Stumbling back she fell to the ground and hit it hard. She lost the grip on her naginata and watched as it stabbed into the ground away from her. Her momentum propelled her further and caused her to roll on the ground until she hit the wall which brought all the pain she had endured up until this point.

"Takahashi!" Aigis yelled.

Her vision blurred as she looked up. So the main Shadow was attacking her, and the weapon Shadows were going to fight the others. Hamuko reached to her holster but the evoker wasn't there. She focused trying to get the arcana card to come down but she stopped when a figure stepped in front of her. "Kana-chan?"

"Hamuko, everything I am, I have because of you. I should have never existed to begin with. But you…you gave a Shadow feelings…an ego to be able to think for myself. I love you, Hamuko. You're everything to me and that's why…" Kana raised an object to her head. It was Hamuko's evoker! "I will protect you no matter what!"

"Kana!" Hamuko reached her hand out towards Kana but she heard the evoker fire.

"Eurydice!" Kana yelled as her Persona appeared. Long auburn colored hair with a beautiful long black dress. Hamuko could not see the front of the Persona, but it wielded a beautiful harp. A light appeared from in front of Eurydice and Hamuko felt light headed. Had she hit her head? Her vision blurred again followed by overwhelming darkness that eventually consumed her consciousness.

The Great Seal

Date Unknown

"It seems so boring here," a familiar voice spoke. Minato rolled his eyes from his seat looking at the mirror that the man in white had brought him once. The owner of the one talking to him was someone he was sure he'd never talk to again.

"Ryoji, shouldn't you be happy you are even here at all?" Minato muttered as he stared into the mirror.

"The only reason I am is because of you," Ryoji walked over and sat next to Minato. "But what you did is only temporarily. Eventually the Seal will weaken and when it does, your soul may be destroyed in the process."

"It won't matter," Minato shook his head. "I know that my friends won't give up the fight against the Fall. I just have to hold out until then."

"Perhaps," Ryoji smiled. "I have no right to criticize considering how you were able to show me a miracle. And quite the miracle it is. All though there is an aspect that has confused me."

"Are you here just to torment me or something? I thought we were friends, Ryoji," Minato glanced over at him and Ryoji just smiled back at him.

"Our bond remains unbreakable. Perhaps it is because of that that I can take this form to begin with. Actually within the sea of unconscious I could take any form. Should I return to the form you first knew me as?" Ryoji grinned.

"You're just bored because there are no cute girls here to hit on, aren't you?" Minato gave his usual uninterested glare. Well he was actually amused.

"It is sad that I'll never be able to see those lovely ladies you had the pleasure of being with during that whole time. I'm sure you know I was quite jealous," Ryoji laughed. "But just having us guys to hang out isn't such a bad thing."

"If only it could be more peaceful up until I have to sleep again," Minato sighed looking back at the mirror.

"And it has to do with this girl that is supposedly your twin sister?" Ryoji stared at the mirror as well. "She's cute, wish I could have met her."

"Despite what we overcame, and even though she was never a part of it, she's fighting. Not only that but other people have been drawn into it because of things that happened in the past. Though it is a bit naive to think that the Dark Hour and The Fall were the only things that were happening, although no doubt The Fall was the most important thing to be concerned about. But now things are coming up to the surface. And the past of my family is coming into light," Minato intently stared into the mirror. Then he smiled.

"Oh my," Ryoji grinned. "It sort of brings back memories."

"Yes, but you were different. Then again, every person is different. Why should it be different for Shadows?" Minato laughed a bit.

"It seems it was Fate for both Twins to be linked to a Shadow when they were young. I couldn't imagine a better way for you both to become acquainted. I'm sure she will overcome the trial that awaits her. And at the end I'm sure she will be presented with a choice," Ryoji got to his feet. "I wonder what choice she'll make."

"She's my sister. Whatever she decides I know it will be with her heart, and in the end I'm positive she'll become happy." Minato got to his feet as well. "It's almost time; think you can lend me a hand?"

"I have some spare time. But you know it will be only a one time deal," Ryoji extended his hand.

Minato took his hand with a firm handshake and grinned once more. "That just means we can't screw up."

Author's Note:

Sorry about the lack of a chapter yesterday, but it was 4th of July and I was without computer access. So it is coming up later than usual. Anyway only a couple things to address here.

The nature of Kana is not like Pharos/Ryoji. If you want a comparison then Kana is closer to Teddie. Teddie took his form because of his desire to get along with humans. And you learn in this Chapter that Kana took Hamuko's form because she wanted to protect her. And the best and easiest way at the time was to take her likeness, and give Hamuko and opportunity to get out and making the scientist believe they already had her. More details of the whole thing will come in later chapters.

Next is the first part of the Final Full Moon fight. And well the brief bit that happens in the past here should tell you it will play out slightly differently. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it and I'll see you tomorrow with the next chapter.
