DF: Thanks for the review Nyarlathotep will personally be introducing himself in this chapter.
Michelle : No problem glad you reviewed, and yes Minato can hurt him because he has death inside him, in this fic death is absolute, I can't really tell but after the Kyoto trip ARC 2 will start.
Guest: Why thank you glad you enjoy it.
Chikara: Thanks the reason I put Sakura in was a little bit of development, if one looks hard enough you can find it.
SEES gathered in the command room the next day at the request of Minato, the full moon was approaching making them worried but what they heard from Minato shocked them even more.
"W-What?" Junpei was horrified.
"H-Humanity's s-shadow?" Mitsuru was speechless the normally cool redhead was sweating buckets.
"Shit.." Akihiko cursed.
Fuuka gasped "How can we defeat something like that?"
"The situation is really critical." Aigis added.
"How did you know this Arisato?" Mitsuru asked and inside Minato panicked he couldn't tell them about the Velvet Room so he quickly thought of a lie "Ummm...my persona told me."
"Your persona?" Mitsuru asked with a raised brow, Minato quickly nodded "Yeah Thoth he's a single support persona that I got."
"Y-You have a support persona?" Fuuka looked crestfallen.
Sensing it Minato quickly added "Yeah but its nothing compared to yours it not really a support persona he is a really intelligent little ape that gives me info and by chance he know about it the entity had existed for a looong time." Minato said all this in one breath praying that they would believe him.
Mitsuru obsevered Minato for a while who tried mainting a poker face after a while Mitsuru nodded "I see..."
"T-This can't be right? Right?" Junpei was panicked looking around everyone so they could provide some assurance, he quickly darted towards Minato "Dude you gotta finish it."
Minato looked down "I...can't..." Hearing this Junpei gritted his teeth.
"Waddaya mean ya can't? Aren't you suppose to be the strongest of us all.?" Junpei almost spat with more venom than intended.
Minato looked at him dead in the eye "I am a human like you I can't beat him...atleast now right now."
"What good are you then?" Junpei snarled causing everyone to gasp.
"The hell is wrong with you stupei?" Yukari growled.
"Saving your ass multiple times remember that asshat?" Minato hissed and Junpei bit his lip "I'm scared dammit."
"Grow a pair." Minato hissed again "This isn't the end...the being was defeated before and I'm sure we can defeat him again..." Minato declared.
"Ahhhh..." Fuuka let out a gasp causing everyone to look at her in worry.
"FUUKA." Yukari yelled in horror as Fuuka started floating in the air her body twisting and turning, Junpei ran towards her but was blasted back by a invisible shock wave.
"Dammit what's wrong?" Minato yelled.
"H-H-Help me.." Fuuka muttered but suddenly Juno appeared in an instant almost forcefully.
"What the?" Akihiko said.
"Hohohohho.." A demonic voice laughed sending a chill down everyone's spine.
"Who the fuck?" Minato asked.
"You don't know wielder of Wild Card?" The voice asked "I am the vile and faceless Nyarlathotep."
"About time you decided to grow a pair and show yourself bastard." Minato spat "Let go of Fuuka." Minato yelled.
"I don't require this pathetic piece of human flesh...I just possessed her just to give a choice to you."
"A choice?" Junpei asked as the stared in horror at Fuuka who had her mouth open and enclosed inside Juno still in midair.
"Yes...you pigs don't stand a chance against me...so I'll easen the burden...hand me over the blue hair boy." Everyone's eye widened as Nyarlathotep spoke them.
"W-What?" Yukari asked.
"You head me bitch..." Nyarlathotep cursed at her "Hand over Minato as you fools like to call him and you'll all survive."
"Why me?" Minato asked.
"You are the Wild Card along with a tremendous power infused inside you." Nyarlathotep spoke still through Fuuka "You might be the biggest threat against me so simple exchange you come here and you'll pathetic little friends will live."
Minato bit his lip looking at each of his team mates before staring at the floating body of Fuuka "...Deal..."
"What?" Yukari yelled.
"You got it I''ll come but how come I can be sure that you'll leave them?" Minato asked and a laugh was heard "These kids pose no resistance to me...you do even in a thousand years they will be nothing infront of me."
"Alright..." Minato muttered and looked at his team mates "Take care everyone..." He smiled and started walking but was suddenly sprung around and slapped across the face by Yukari.
"Don't you dare go." She snarled.
"Fuck yourself Chaos." Akihiko yelled "You can come get him if you have the balls."
"We shall not hand over Arisato no matter what." Mitsuru said firmly.
"R-Really?" Minato asked.
"Yeah go screw yourself Nyar what ever your name is." Junpe yelled surprising Minato.
"I shall protect Minato-san with all that I have." Aigis said.
"Guys..." Minato muttered under his breath.
There was silence for a couple of minutes before the voice spoke again "Very well...you all shall die then...Wild Card you will not see the light of another day.." He warned "Take your stupid friend enjoy the few hours that you have.." He warned again as the voice faded as Fuuka screamed again, Juno disappeared and Fuuka fell down from almost 12 feet.
Minato quickly dashed towards her catching her before she could fall.
"FUUKA?" Minato asked as Fuuka slowly opened her eyes with a groan "Minato-kun? What was that?" She asked shakily and Minato reassured her "Nothing Fuuka everything will be alright." He slowly walked towards the couch and rested Fuuka on it and then he turned towards SEES "You should have let me go.."
"Don't be stupid...no way we ever could." Yukari yelled.
"Don't act like that Arisato we are friends right?" Mitsuru asked.
"Yeah clear your head up Minato." Akihiko scolded.
"Thanks...but we got stuff to worry about he said I'll die tonight.." Minato asked.
"Does that means he'll come during the dark hour?" Junpei asked.
"He's bluffing..." Mitsuru added "If he wanted Arisato he could have come anytime he would have wanted he just gave a final warning so we could hand him over.."
"Not that you think about it...your right." Akihiko added.
"But we know one thing...he was scared.." Fuuka answered from the couch as everyone turned towards her "I could sense a bit of worry in him...he is scared that Minato will someday kill him." Fuuka coughed out.
"He can bet his ass I will." Minato yelled.
"But what if he comes tonight?" Yukari asked scared.
"He won't...where is Ken?" Akihiko asked.
"He isn't here today...he had a project with a friend." Junpei answered causing Akhiko to relax.
SEES left the command room, they arrived at the conclusion that Nyarlathotep was bluffing but deep down everyone had worry in thier hearts.
...
"Today is the end for you wildcard." Nyarlathotep told himself turning to a sleeping figure beside him "Sorry but I'll be back."
The figure muttered "Please save me..."
Nyarlathotep laughed even without a mouth a shrill laugh "Hahaha I told you are forever doomed to serve me."
...
"If he comes I wont roll over and die." Minato swore as he entered his room it was almost 7 o clock "I'll beat the crap out of him for insulting Hamuko."
Elizabeth clutched the chest area of her dress "Please Minato be safe."
Igor looked on "He will be okay.." He informed causing Elizabeth to look at him "Master Minato might have someone else protecting him right now.."
"You mean it?" Elizabeth asked and Igor nodded "Yes the special circumstances."
...
"I wont let Minato be taken away from me." Yukari swore.
"That bastard won't take away our leader." Akihiko swore.
"I won't my junior get hurt as along as I am around." Mitsuru said as he swinged her rapier around.
"I won't let anybody hurt Minato-san." Aigis said as she rested herself on a chair to recharge herself.
...
"Sister...Mom, Dad watch over me...I won't go down without a fight like last time, I'll make you proud of me." Minato said as he laid on his bed "I swear on my life."
After everyone slept worry still in heart, the dark hour like usual hit the world, electronics stopped working, water turned into blood and the yellow moon illuminated the world which turned green.
The usually silent streets of Iwatodai were not silent this night, a figure clad in a hood and pants ran towards the dorm "This ends tonight." Nyarlathotep said as he ran at almost lightning speed.
"No more annoying kids no more Wild Cards."
"I will rip his guts out." The power he was giving off was enormous, even 10 Minato's would hardly pose a challenge to him right now.
"Must...protect...friend." Inside the psyche of Minato a voice was heard, Minato was sleeping peacefully but suddenly a dark aura enveloped him, but that didn't bother him he kept on sleeping.
"I got your back...friend." The voice was heard again.
Minato suddenly woke up, carefully looking around and then looking out the window "Chaos is here." His voice like before was suddenly very deep but extremely calm.
Nyarlathotep tackled the dorm making it shake.
"What the?" Junpei yelled.
"A quake?" Mitsuru asked herself as she was rudely awakened.
Fuuka panicked sending everyone a mental message "EVERYONE HE IS HERE." The entire SEES panicked how could they defeat him right now?
Everyone took there evokers and weapons running out of the dorm somehow they knew the would die but they still had to fight.
Nyarlathotep stood outside still in a humanoid form he faced the group minus Minato "Ready for your deaths pigs?" Nyarlathotep asked with a laugh.
"Fuck off." Junpei yelled charging forward with his sword, but he was blasted away again by an invisible force.
"IO."
"Polydeuces."
"Palladion."
The personas charged at Nyarlathotep who gave out a sigh, muttering something a huge ball of reddish flame appeared infront of him, the ground shook as he commanded "Fire." A bright flame erupted from the ball engulfing the charging personas.
Aigis, Yukari and Akihiko screamed, feeling something ripping there very souls apart, they collasped to the ground.
"Everyone." Fuuka yelled
Mitsuru knew it was hopeless, still she raised her evoker to her temple, but it exploded as soon as it came near her temple, Nyarlathotep laughed "Stupid humans." His hand glowed blue and Mitsuru found herself being lifted in the air and then slammed back to the wall with a huge thud.
"I warned you, now you all shall die first then the Wild Card." Nyarlathotep said as he brought up another ball of fire intending to finish the member of SEES, he laughed, his featureless face adding more fear into the hearts of the fallen warriors.
"CHAOS WAVE." He screamed the light shone again this time towards the fallen until another voice cut in."
"MOONLESS GOWN." The voice was deep, a silver barrier shielded SEES from the impending doom.
"What the?" Akihiko asked as he slowly got up and saw the barrier.
"Who did it?" Junpei asked.
Nyarlathotep looked towards the door of the dorm and saw Minato...floating there.
"So you finally decided to show yourself?" Nyarlathotep taunted.
Minato clapped his hands and the barrier disappeared.
"Minato?" Yukari asked as she got up but Minato ignored her, he slowly floated towards eyes were black again and just like before blast mist was coming out from his body.
"Arisato? Is his persona taking control again?" Mitsuru asked as she slowly got up, SEES stood here as Minato floated towards Nyarlathotep.
"You can't beat me chaos." Minato stated in his currently deep voice.
"Go to hell." Nyarlathotep answered back as he tried to hit him in the face, but Minato easily caught it, and then twisted his arm, summoning a dagger he rammed it on his shoulder, with a huge jerk applied, the humanoid arm of Nyarlathotep separated from his body, and green blood splattered everywhere.
Nyarlathotep screamed as he backed away, Minato threw the useless arm away and floated towards him again "Death trimpus all." He said and a red ball came out from his hand, the ball grew larger and Minato quickly blasted the humanoid on the chest, a huge explosion ensured and the radius was huge, the dorm would have been taken down if he shot in the other direction.
"Woah." Junpei yelled as the shockwave of the blast threw him backwards "I told ya he is the freaking Hulk."
Yukari smiled "Minato...he is winning.."
The smoke cleared and Minato was still standing there but Nyarlathotep was on the ground, his half face destroyed, it was a really sick sight.
"I told you." Minato said as he grabbed Nyarlathotep by his hood "You can't beat death."
"Your a monster yourself." Nyarlathotep yelled and Minato chuckled "If means a monster means to protect a loved one then I will gladly accept that."
"No your not normal boy...but know this, this power won't save you always."
"You won't live." Minato stated, his hand glowed red again and he rammed in into his chest, making Nyarlathotep scream again, Mianto's fist entered his chest and came out from the stomach.
"That's sick." Junpei added.
"But he won." Mitsuru said.
Nyarlathotep screamed as his body was beginning to be reduced to mist, slowly his body began disappearing and finally he was gone, Minato gave out a scream and then collapsed on a knee.
"MINATO." Yukari yelled running to his side.
"Ugh...my body feels drained." Minato said as he used Yukari for support standing up.
"Dude...what was that?" Junepi asked as the rest ran towards him.
Minato chuckled "I don't know...but bottom line...we survived."
"Hell yeah you kicked his ass...Nyarlathotep is dead." Akihiko cheered.
"SEES 1 Evil 0." Junpei cheered as everyone began to laugh.
Aigis was standing there, her softwares over processing "Bridge...seal...boy...13.." Her softwares was processing the unusual and sudden information until Minato called out "Yo Aigis lets go inside." Hearing this Aigis nodded "Roger Minato-san." With that the mechanical maiden walked with them.
...
Elizabeth jumped "Yes my Minato-sama did it." She cheered jumping around the room until Igor spoke "He isn't completely gone yet."
"What? But he was killed we saw it master." Elizabeth argued and Igor sighed "I don't know for sure Elizabeth only time will tell, but something tells me this isn't the last we have seen of him." His face was grim.
SEES celebrated the victory, not caring what took control of Minato as long as they were safe, Mitsuru ordered sushi as they had party laughing and eating celebrating the defeat of the ancient evil but how wrong they were Nyarlathotep was merely stopped not killed.
"Dammit that bastard is alot stronger than I thought." The humanoid cursed as he barged into a room "He is the angel of death, noway I can defeat him right now."
But suddenly he snickered "Why am I worried?Only 3 full moons left, after that I'll rip him to pieces and I will relish it until the." He turned towards the sleeping figure "My puppet will do all the work." With a final laugh he disappeared and the sleeping figure woke up.
