A/N: Thanks again for the awesome reviews and I'll take what was said into account. And I've been trying to write a new chapter every night so some come out more rushed than others.
Chapter 5
Yu was surprised to see the girl again from when she suddenly had run up to him but than she looked like a normal girl.
However now she looked almost mechanical but she seemed human.
"I was right," Aigis said, "You are like him."
"Him?" Yu asked.
"Minato," Aigis replied, "He was someone I swore to protect but he sacrificed himself to save us all."
"So did he have the Wild Card?" Yu asked.
"Yes," Igor said, "That boy had the same power as you do and he found his answer to life."
"My dear sister is trying to find a way to free him," Margaret said.
"Oh right you mentioned that," Yu said.
"His Wild Card was passed to me," Aigis said, "and that's why I appeared here after I was summoned."
"Your two groups will have to work together to stop this threat and solve the mystery," Margaret said.
"I don't wish to be rude but who are you?" Aigis asked to Margaret.
"My apologies I am Margaret," Margaret said, "You know my sister I believe."
"She never mentioned a sister," Aigis replied.
"We haven't seen eye to eye in the past so I can see why you don't know me," Margaret said, "I've heard much about you Aigis."
"I have a question Igor," Aigis said, "Why can't my friends summon their personas and his friends can?"
"That is part of the mystery you have to figure out on your own," Igor said, "I cannot tell you that."
Aigis nodded and Yu looked at Aigis.
Yu looked at Aigis and wondered if she knew anything about the man he saw.
"I'm guessing your group would know who we're facing," Yu said, "I need you to tell me please."
"I don't think Mitsuru would allow it," Aigis said.
"Please I think a couple of my friends are in trouble," Yu said, "They were seen by one of them and I need to know."
"They are known as Strega," Aigis said, "They were a group of Persona users that were artificially experimented on."
"Were?" Yu asked.
"Yes they were both killed," Aigis replied, "They were destined to die soon and wanted to see the end so they spread news of the world ending."
"But it didn't thanks to Minato," Yu said.
"Yes," Aigis said, "how they have returned is a mystery to us but they are very dangerous."
"I got that part just by looking at the guy with the gun," Yu said.
"You saw Takaya?" Aigis asked.
"He didn't see me but yeah," Yu said, "And my friends met a guy that used a grenade."
"Jin," Aigis said, "When were they attacked?"
"Earlier I think," Yu said, "There was a story on the news of an explosion where he worked."
"Jin was here earlier," Aigis said, "how could he appear there so soon?"
"I was hoping you could tell me that," Yu replied.
"I'm afraid I couldn't tell you that," Aigis said, "How Strega has returned is unknown to even us."
"Look Aigis we need to get our groups together," Yu said, "If we don't we'll never figure this out."
"I will talk to the others," Aigis said, "You must get yours together as well."
"That won't be a problem," Yu said, "They're all coming to visit soon."
"You may have to get them to come sooner than later," Aigis said.
"I can probably arrange that," Yu replied.
"I'll do my best on my end as well," Aigis said and offered her hand for him to shake.
Yu nodded and shook hearing a mysterious voice which Aigis seemed to hear too.
'I am thou…thou art I…thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest a persona of the Aeon Class' The voice said.
"Just when I thought I was over voices in my head," Yu said.
"You seem to have gained a new persona to use," Igor said, "may it be helpful in the near future."
"Right…" Yu said.
"Well our time is short so we will meet again dear guests," Igor said and Yu woke up in his bed.
"New Persona…" He said.
Meanwhile
Yukiko was walking down the street when Chie ran up to her.
"Hey you should've seen it Yukiko," Chie said, "I totally kicked this guys butt for trying to steal this kids lunch money."
"That's great," Yukiko said smiling.
"Hey what's wrong?" Chie asked, "You seem distracted."
"Well it's just we're all going to visit Yu right?" Yukiko asked, "What if he's got a girlfriend back there?"
"I doubt it," Chie said, "The way he talks he's always too busy for one with his parents always working and such…"
"Right," Yukiko said and heard her phone ring.
She saw it was Yu and answered it.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hey Yukiko how are things?" Yu asked.
"You know normal…" Yukiko said, "You sound a bit distracted is something wrong?"
"Well I know you were hoping to come here after break but…" Yu said, "Could you guys come earlier than that?"
"Earlier?" Yukiko asked, "Did something happen?"
"You could say that," Yu said, "I just need everyone to come here sooner than the break I found out something."
"Sure I'll tell the others," Yukiko said, "I'm sure they won't mind."
"Thanks and Yukiko?" Yu asked.
"What?" Yukiko asked.
"Be careful okay?" Yu asked.
"I will," Yukiko said blushing without realizing it.
Yu hung up and Chie looked at her friend smiling.
"Ah someone's blushing," Chie said, "Was that Yu? No wonder you're blushing."
"Chie…" Yukiko said embarrassed.
"Oh come on every time he's mentioned you blush it's not a secret," Chie said, "A lot of people are jealous of him you know."
Yukiko blushed even more and Chie laughed.
"Hey what's the big idea?!" Kanji's voice yelled from nearby, "Why are you guys attacking a kid and his dog?"
"None of your business so leave," Jin said, "Before we make you."
"He's right you should…" The boy said.
"No way kid," Kanji said, "these guys have no business scaring kids like this."
"Kanji!" Chie yelled running over, "What's going on?"
"These guys just came and attacked this kid," Kanji said, "No way I'm letting that happen while I'm around!"
"Please trust me and run," The boy said.
"No way we can't just let you get hurt," Yukiko said running down.
"Well if they wish to die…let them interfere," Takaya said.
"Hmm fine than," Jin said and turned to face them, "it's your funeral."
Both men seemed to summon their Personas and Yukiko seemed surprised.
"Personas?" Yukiko asked.
"Hey what the…?" Chie asked as her Persona card appeared along with Yukiko's and Kanji's.
"Guess it's time we fight back," Yukiko said summoning Amaterasu.
"You're right," Kanji said, "I won't let these guys win."
Kanji summoned Rokuten Maoh and Chie summoned Suzuka Gongen.
"Hmm it seems we'll have to keep them alive as well," Takaya said, "Who knew they had the power as well?"
(First real official battle in the fic so it might be badly written)
Jin's persona used Maragion and while their personas were weak to the attack they were knocked back by the sheer strength of it but luckily their personas took the most of it.
"Chie! Kanji!" Yukiko exclaimed.
"You're next girl," Jin said.
"I don't think so," Yukiko said making her persona use the same attack which hurt Takaya but Jin seemed unaffected.
"I don't think you get it girl," Jin said, "Fire doesn't work on me."
Yukiko saw the others getting up and looked at them.
"How about this than?" Chie asked having her persona cast Bufudyne on Jin.
"And take some of this too!" Kanji yelled having his persona do a physical attack on Jin.
Jin stood up hurt but recovered.
Yukiko had her persona use Fire Break on Jin and summoned another Maragion attack casting it.
"I told you that fire doesn't…" Jin said and got blasted by the attack along with Takaya, "What…?"
"Want another one?" Yukiko asked.
Takaya's persona vanished and he put his hand on Jin's shoulder.
"Let's retreat for now," Takaya said and looked at the three, "You will all be coming with us soon mark my words."
Jin's persona vanished and he threw the grenade.
There was an explosion which the three personas blocked and when it cleared the two were gone.
"Where'd those two go?" Kanji asked, "We weren't finished!"
"Kanji calm down," Chie said, "Did you notice the guy in green was only attacking us?"
"Yeah so?" Kanji asked.
"Why wasn't he?" Chie asked, "I think he was just analyzing us."
"Well if they ever show their faces again I'll make sure they regret it," Kanji said.
The personas vanished and they heard Yosuke's voice.
"Guys are you okay?" He asked running with Teddie in his bear form along with Rise.
"Yeah we really need to meet up with Yu fast," Yukiko said, "he said he has something to tell us."
"Well I can get us to Senpai pretty fast," Rise said, "If you don't mind a jet."
"Good let's go," Yosuke said, "I have a feeling they won't hesitate to attack again."
Elsewhere…
"So have you found any persona users?" The woman asked, "because I didn't bring you back to life for you to fail me over and over again."
"They're putting up a fight," Takaya said.
"I don't want excuses just capture them," The woman said, "I've put too much time and energy into this experiment for you to fail me."
"Yes mam," Jin replied.
"But I have one interest that you mentioned to me," The woman said, "This 'Wild Card' ability as you call it."
"Yes apparently it allows one to summon multiple personas," Takaya said, "We came across a boy long ago with the power."
"Minato correct?" The woman asked, "whatever became of him?"
"Got me we were dead," Jin replied, "But I expect he died."
"What a shame," The woman said, "I was hoping I could study that ability further."
"Mam…we're ready to start the machine," An aid said.
"Good," The woman said, "with this machine we'll recreate the Dark Hour and the shadows will rule."
