Minato awoke in another room. He can hear a heart monitor.
"Must be in the hospital." He thought. "I hate hospitals..."
"Minato!" said a female voice. "Dammit." Minato looked over and saw it was a cyan-haired girl. "'Least it wasn't one of those other two." He thought. "Uh hey.." "Must be that Fuuka girl."
"Do you..feel alright?"
"Uh, yeah, I'm alright. The others didn't show up?"
" Mitsuru-sempai and Yukari-chan were busy with something. And the guys were busy preparing weapons and equipment after school."
"Oh." Minato feared what may be in store for me at home.
"I'll let you rest." Fuuka got up. "Take care of yourself."
"I will."
She got up and kissed him on the cheek before leaving
"Minato~" Minato was hugged from behind by Mitsuru.
"Sempai."
"Are you free tonight?"
"Oh shit." He immediately thought. "I was...hoping to head to Tartarus tonight." Still not clear on what Tartarus was. Minato just know it's something important, apparently.
She let go of me then. "Oh...o-of course. I'll...inform the others." She walked off, unknowingly leaving Minato to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Later that evening, the dormmates went to the school for a reason unknown to Minato.
Then, it happened. Gekkoukan High then took on its appearance during the dark hour.
"Tartarus." said Akihiko. "The main source of our problems last year."
"Yeah.." Yukari said. "I was was hoping we wouldn't have to happen again after dealing with Ny-

Yukari held her head and groaned.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. I just...don't like coming here that much..."
They enter the building.

Yukari, Junpei, and Minato got their weapons ready and enter.
"Okay.." Everything inside is warped and maze-like, confusing the bluenette to no end. His partners on the other hand seemed used to the atmosphere of their hellish reimagining of the school.
"Alright." Junpei said. "Let's kick some ass!"
Minato nodded, playing along.
"I'm ready." Said a younger voice.
"What the-"
The wildcard turned around, looking down at a kid with a freaking spear. "I'm feeling great today. Let's go."
"Woah woah! Who are you?!"
"I'm feeling great today. Let's go." he repeated.
"C'mon man, let's rock." Junpei said.
"Do you not see the kid right here?!"
"Kid?" Yukari looked at him like I was high.
"I'm feeling great today. Let's go." He repeated, starting to annoy Minato.
A shadow approached. The wildcard attacked it.
"There are two enemies." Fuuka said.
"Nemesis!" The kid shouted. He summoned a buzzsaw-like persona and it cut a shadow down.
"Huh, neat. Mudo." Minato summoned Thanatos. Darkness surrounded the shadow. It crumbled into dust.
"Nice job."
"Thanks." Minato turns to the kid. "You really shouldn't be here. It's dangerous."
"I'm feeling great today. Let's go."
The bluenette facepalmed. "Can you please say anything else? Like, at all?"
"I'm feeling great today. Let's go."
"Ugh..."
They continued walking, until they hit an intersection. "Let's split up. We'll cover more ground that way."
"Gotcha." Said Junpei.
"Sure thing." Yukari said.
The kid nodded.
Minato wandered a bit, slaying some shadows, collecting treasures, when all of a sudden, he hears chains rattle.
"Get out of there! RUN!"
"What? Why?"
*BANG!* A bullet barely grazes his cheek. He looked behind him and sees an extremely strong shadow. Tall, dark, and holding two pistols.
"Dammit..." Minato summons Thanatos to strike. He does little damage. "Is this thing really that strong?" the young summoner thought. It fired it's gun into the air and Minato was surrounded by light. Mahamaon. "Nngh..." The wildcard collapsed onto the floor.
"I felt great coming in, why now do I suddenly feel like crap?" he thought, feeling the full extent of his persona's weakness the shadow aims it's guns at him. He closes his eyes as he waits for the shadow's next move.
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
[Minato withstood the attack]
"...? Huh? How...am I alive? I may not be dead, but I still got hit. HARD."
Minato slowly got up and faced the shadow. He needed something, anything to kill this thing. He doubted his luck will come in a second time. He put his evoker to his head and pray for a miracle. "Persona..." he pulls the trigger.
The ground shook. A mass of energy built up from the ceiling and came crashing down on the two. Thanatos appeared and shielded his summoner from the resulting explosion. When he moved, and the smoke cleared, The shadow was face-down on the floor, before turning to dust.
"That ability I just used...it was different from the others. "
"Death.."
"M-Minato?"
"I'm fine, Fuuka. I just need a second..."
"I told the others to come get you."
"Okay."
"Minato!" Minato was quickly pulled into a vise-grip hug. "Don't you ever do that again!"
"Sorry."
"Well, just...here, hold still." She summoned her persona. "Angel!" Minato began to feel a warm light pass over him. With that, his strength began to return to him.
He smiled a little. "Thank you."
She smiled. "You can make it up to me later."
Junpei groaned as he and the kid walked over to us. "Ugh, c'mon, get a room!"
Yukari went bright red. "S-shut up!"
