Chapter 22
Nyx's Arrival
Everyone ran through the streets as fast as they could to the tower, when they entered it they found it a dark and dismal place where things creaked and the slightest sound made them jump. The tower appeared to be very large and the entrance was right in front of them.
"How many floors does this tower have" asked Snow.
"263 but it should be okay if..." began Mitsuru.
"263 FLOORS!" shouted Makie.
"That is one hell of a work out, now we've got to climb to the top, curse you Nyx, when I get my hands on you I'm going to turn you into a bloody pulp" said Mir.
"Let's move, we need to get up there now said Lucas.
Lucas' group along with Makie and Youske and his friends started to run up the tower, only Aigis, Ikuto and the others stayed behind with a dumbstruck look.
"Those idiots" said Husky.
"If only they listened" said Fuuka.
Those that were left moved towards a strange green machine that was in the corner of the room. Lucas and the others meanwhile ran up staircase after staircase, avoiding as many Shadows as they could and fighting and defeating all those they did happen to run into. Soon Makie and the others collapsed to the floor breathing heavily as they reached the next staircase.
"What floor are we on?" asked Makie.
"Floor 50" said Etna.
"When we get to 100 tell me, I'll be able to throw up" said Lucas.
"You know the Shadows could have the common decency to install a bloody elevator but no, now we have to climb another 213 floors" said Maria.
"Suck it up, keep moving, we don't have much time" said Lucas.
"Wait where did Aigis and everyone else go?" asked Yukiko.
"Who knows, we have to keep moving, we'll worry about them later" said Kanji.
The group continued to run as fast as they could, each of them swearing and cursing Nyx and saying all the terrible things they will do to him once they reach him. They didn't like Etna's idea of cutting of his limbs and feeding them to hungry Demons while she tortured his soul. The group had several problems on the way up such as a freak in chains and wielding pistols kept on chasing them around the tower and appeared randomly. There was also the fact that sometimes when they entered a new floor they would end up separated and have to search all over for each other which after finding each other resulted in the freak in chains appearing and chasing them yet again. For some reason they didn't want to fight it, something about the freak put them off the idea. Yet again they came to an empty floor and they rested for a bit even more exhausted then before.
"How...many floors...are left?" asked Chie.
"We're on the 110th floor, only 103 floors left to go, oh hell" said Train.
"FUCK THAT, BAHAMUT!" shouted Lucas.
The black dragon appeared and took the Persona users by surprise, while on the way to the tower Lucas and the others ha explained a little about the gauntlet but still it was a shock to see in real life.
"Good idea, we can use the summons to help, Odin" said Lyner.
"Tiamat" said Etna.
"Seraph" said Mint.
"Shemhazai" said Train.
"Fenrir" said Syaoran.
"Ramuh" said Shelke.
"Diablos" said Mir.
"Shiva" said Snow.
Their summons appeared and welcomed their masters, Lucas got onto Bahamut's back with Maria. For some reason Makie kicked up a fuss and also joined them on the summon. Snow used the Shivacycle to take Chie and Youske with them, something that the two of the didn't like as they were forced to hold on to each other. Diablos carried Mir and Teddie while Syaoran road on Fenrir's back with Sakura. Ramuh carried Shelke and zipped through the tower in a flash. Etna was join on Tiamat's back by Rise and Kanji who thought it amazing to be riding a dragon. Lyner and Flynn climbed onto Odin and Seraph carried Mint in its arms, Train climbed onto Shemhazai then Bahamut and the summons began to smash their way up through the tower. All was going well as they escalated through the floors with ease but then Train was knocked aside by something which managed to dispel his summon. Out of the fog came the chain wielding freak from before this time demanding a fight, Train landed on his feet ready for a fight.
"Damn this thing, you guys go on ahead, I'm going to teach this bastard some manners" said Train.
"You sure, he's powerful" said Lucas.
"Just go, you've got Nyx's ass to kick" said Train.
The others nodded their heads and left except Shelke, Etna, Rise and Kanji, the two summons landed next to Train and were dismissed as their owners drew their weapons.
"We will assist you in dealing with this foe" said Shelke.
"I've been wanting to teach this punk some manners" said Kanji.
"He looks like a worthy foe, I hope for Lucas' sake they leave some part of Nyx left for me to kill" said Etna.
"I'll back you up, this thing is a type of Shadow so I'll warn you of it's movements" said Rise.
"Ha, what am I going to do with you lot, very well then, bring it freak" said Train.
They charged at the creature as the summons continued towards the top, soon they reached an area with white walls and white crystals, they had to dismount their summons as they had to go the rest of the way on foot. It wasn't far now, in fact the top of the tower was just in front of them, they just had to climb the last number of steps.
"Finally" said Lucas.
There was a strange sound and then a machine in the area made a weird zapping sound, soon they were greeted by Ikuto's group, SEES and Aigis all whom just appeared out of nowhere.
"Who, what, how the hell" said Pan.
"You idiots" said Husky.
"How the heck did you get up here so fast?" asked Youske.
"We tried to tell you, there is a machine that lets us teleport through the tower" said Yukari.
"If you had paid attention you would know this, but instead you had to climb 263 floors, unlucky" said Dante.
"You mean we climbed all those floors even though we didn't have to" said Syaoran.
"Pretty much" said Mana.
The group's eye's began to twitch, they had endured a hell that no man should suffer for nothing and it was all Nyx's fault.
"I'm pissed now" said Youske.
"I'm going to kill that thing" said Mir.
"Well you'll get your chance, it's right up there" said Flynn.
"Right, however I'm worried" said Mitsuru.
"Yeah, we couldn't beat the damn thing last time and I doubt we'll be getting another miracle like last time" said Junpei.
"Relax will ya, it's different then last time, this time you have another band of Persona users helping you and not only that but you have us Gauntlet users, together we'll kick the thing's ass" said Lucas.
"Defiantly, that thing doesn't have a chance" said Makie.
"We'll back you up this time so don't worry" said Maria.
"Confident huh, thanks" said Mitsuru.
"Okay, now let's go kick that thing's ass" said Akihiko.
They all ran as fast as they could to the top of the tower, once the reached the top they looked up as the sky, it was pitch black and there was something odd about the moon. They soon began to hear clapping as Takaya came out of his hiding place clapping with an amused smirk.
"Well, hello again, took you long enough" said Takaya.
"Takaya" said Yukari surprised.
"So it was you" said Lucas.
"What do you get out of calling Nyx?" asked Syaoran.
"I am simply bringing peace to the world, everyone wishes for this, death is eternal rest for them, I am simply fulfilling mankind's wish and stopping those who wish to crush their dreams" said Takaya.
"That's bullshit" said Youske.
"No one wants this you moron" said Chie.
"Can all of you justifiably say that you are not the least bit curious about death" said Takaya.
"There is some truth to that, but our curiosity has nothing to do with Nyx, we'll find out when it's our time and until them we'll keep fighting to stop monsters like you" said Sakura.
"Stop thinking you know us rawrr" said Teddie.
"Why don't you just give up Takaya, there is no way you'll be able to stop all of us" said Lyner.
Takaya smirked a little before admitting that Lyner was right, he reached into his pocket and pulled some kind of needle out of it.
"Shame, I thought I could reason with you fools, even if you defeat me stopping Nyx is impossible, you cannot beat death, not really, it's a shame it has come to this" said Takaya as he injected himself with the needle.
"What the hell, what was in that?" asked Snow.
"A little gift from Davros" said Takaya.
"Oh no, I'm sensing thousands of Shadows approaching this area" said Fuuka.
Shadows then flew out of every crack and were absorbed by Takaya, Takaya soon transformed into his Persona, a hideous creature with wings, his body then grew to an impossible size, his skin became like armour plating and his face became that of a demon with horns, his hands became large claws that could easily swat away all of them.
"Now face me, a person who has accepted his fate and fused with his Persona" said Takaya.
"God damn it, Pact" said Lucas.
Lucas charged at the creature but to his shock his sword bounced to the creatures hard plating, everyone joined in but all of their weapons bounced off of the creature, even worse, the creature was able to nullify everyone's Personas, Youske's group and Mitsuru's group were forced to use basic attacks to defend themselves. The creature was very powerful, at one point it shot bullets out of nowhere at them which they found hard to dodge and the next it shot a large freaking laser beam form it's horns. It aimed this attack at Lucas and would have killed him had Sakura not protected them with her Shield card, however the shock wave nearly destroyed the card and sent both of them flying, they nearly flew off the roof of the tower. Syaoran transformed into his Pact and managed to cut of one of the creature's fingers however this only pissed it off even more and it whacked him into the ground. Mint summon her ships cannons and blasted Takaya with them this wounded him slightly but still he stood and seemed like he wasn't going to fall anytime soon. The creature then lunged at Maria and grabbed her with it's hand and began to squeeze her tightly as she screamed out in pain.
"LET HER GO!" shouted Lucas as he unleashed his Orinogami Blasé attack.
The creature was hurt a bit by Lucas' flame sword and threw Maria over the side of the tower. Lucas dropped his sword and quickly jumped off the roof, he grabbed Maria with his right arm and then grabbed a part of the roof to stop them from falling. Lucas was in trouble, he couldn't call Bahamut and by grabbing the roof he had opened up his wound and felt like his arm was about to be torn off.
"Damn it" said Lucas.
"Just let me go Lucas, you can't save both of us" said Maria.
"Like hell I will, your too important to me for me to just let go, I'll think of something" said Lucas.
Lucas tried to reassure her, he had not noticed her shocked face, truly Maria saw Lucas in a new light, in thank Maria wondered why she was so happy despite evidence of her imminent death. She began to think and realised that she had always felt a glint of joy when she was around Lucas but this was the first time she considered it might be something more than friendship. Lucas held on as hard as he could, he was losing his grip faster than he could count; the only thing holding them up was Lucas' three fingers.
"Damn it" said Lucas.
Lucas then completely lost his grip and the two began to fall to their deaths, they closed their eye's as Lucas held Maria tight, however they soon felt a thud as they hit something bit it wasn't as hard and as painful as they thought the ground would be, they opened their eyes and where shocked to see that they had been saved by Etna and Tiamat, the two landed on the dragon's back looking at its master with shock and joy.
"Hey love birds, break it up there is a battle going on around here" said Etna.
The two realised that they were still holding each other and quickly split apart.
"Where is Train, have they defeated that thing?" asked Lucas.
"It's called The Reaper apparently and no they haven't it's just the battle up here was going so terrible that I had to leave and help you idiots" said Etna.
"Well thank you for saving our lives" said Maria.
Tiamat reached the roof and circled around the Takaya creature, everyone was fighting bravely but they had barely managed to hurt it at all.
"Damn it, nothing is working on it" said Maria.
"I think I know why, most of our attacks are physical, that thing is designed to repel those kinds of attacks, magic is the way to go but you need a strong enough attack which is why it stopped all the Personas" said Etna.
"So what do we do?" asked Maria.
Etna smiled as she flew Tiamat way above the Takaya creature, she then left the riding position and walked to the side with her spear in hand almost like she was about to jump off.
"What the hell are you doing?" asked Lucas.
"Saving your ass, just trust me and look after my baby" said Etna.
She then jumped off with a confident smile, she had to make sure she gave herself enough air time for what she was about to do.
"Gauntlet of power I call you to obey your master, I call the Gauntlet who has made me it's host, I name thee Thor god of lightning , I evoke the pact of Kanji Tatsumi" said Etna.
Her gauntlet became riddles with electricity, forming an eye with Kanji's image in the middle of it; soon a voice began to speak.
"Do you accept Tatsumi?" asked the voice.
"Hell yeah" said Kanji's voice.
"Very well, pact accepted" said the voice.
"Evoking pact Kanji" said Etna.
Etna transformed into her Pact form, she gained a black jacket along with silver shoulder pads and gauntlets, her tail became covered in armour and her body glowed with electricity. Her mask covered half her face and was in the shape of a helmet with a skull like face, the skull seemed like it had a scar on its cheek just like Kanji did. She gained heel like boots with daggers at the end of the heels, her skirt became silver and grew a few inches longer, her hair also grew a few inches and became scruffy and untidy, her spear became a silver armoured plated spear with two wings at the blades end and the blade became curved and jagged almost like a sword, the spear filled with electricity.
"Now Spear of Odin" said Etna.
Etna and her entire body turned into a flash of lightning, she fell with her spear pointed at the head of the creature. She hit the creature dead on, her spear got caught on the creature's head however the large amount of electrical power she had stored up in her fall had gone all the way thought the creature like a blade. Although her spear had not cut the creature at all the Magical power it had caused the creature to be sliced in two. Takaya screamed as the creature faded away. Etna called Tiamat to her and Lucas and Maria joined everyone on the roof as Etna dismissed her summon. Takaya screamed and released a blinding light, after a few second it faded and Takaya was back to normal, badly hurt and slowly backing up to the edge of the roof, he looked like he would collapse at any moment.
"Impossible, how could I be defeated yet again" said Takaya.
"Accept it you lost" said Etna.
Takaya gave a grunt but then he smiled as he looked up to the sky.
"Everyone be careful, something is coming" said Fuuka.
It seemed like everyone had regained their Persona abilities how it was true that something humanoid was approaching them.
"That must be Nyx huh, about time" said Mir.
"You're too late to stop her arrival" said Takaya.
"Who said anything about stopping it" said Flynn.
"We let her come so we can defeat her and end this once and for all" said Mint.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA, HA HA HA, YOU FOOLS, NYX IS UNDEFEATABLE!" shouted Takaya.
"We'll see about that" said Yukiko.
"You fools, why do you fight so hard for a world as miserable as this one?" asked Takaya.
"Who knows, we just do" said Lucas.
Below Light Yagami smiled as he looked up at the sky, he pulled out his Death Note and wrote down a name before smiling.
"Goodbye Takaya, you have served us well but you have outlived your usefulness" said Light.
Takaya began to feel pain in his body he grabbed his chest as pain shot out though his body, the image of Light Yagami filled his eyes.
"Remember when I said you would know if I was threatening you, well now you know" said Light.
Takaya understood what was happening but he smiled and then laughed hysterically as he fell backwards causing him to fall of the roof and to his death. His body smacked along several rooftops before it fell to the ground and was turned into jelly. Light smiled as he put away the Death Note and turned to his partner.
"Did you get everything you needed?" asked Light.
"Yes, it was an interesting show but now I have all the necessary data, we have found the second Lord" said Davros.
"Good, then lets head back, we'll leave them to deal with that thing" said Light.
The two then vanished as a large creature floated down to the roof, it was a creature with black wings and carried a large sword, it had a white face with no eyes yet it could easily see them as they looked up at the creature. Lucas then realised, it was the creature he had seen in the World of Trio, it was Nyx.
"So this is Nyx" said Lucas.
"No, I am merely a harbinger of the fall but Nyx and myself are one in the same" it said.
"It's not Nyx, just his Avatar" said Mitsuru.
"Really, well either way we will still smack the crap out of it" said Syaoran.
"This is for making me climb all those floors" said Etna.
"You do know that none of that was his fault right" said Rika.
"Does it matter, it's his fault for trying to kill everyone again" said Youske.
"So you must all know, what people fear in their hearts, what is always lurking around the corner, what comes closer every second you live your life, that is what I am" said Nyx.
"Then you will know me well, we already know of what you are" said Mana.
"Then you should know that is near impossible to defeat me and so your struggle is pointless, yet you still want to fight me" said Nyx.
"Well duh, we don't care if it is impossible, we'll fight for our lives until the very end" said Chie.
"There is no in hell I'm going to let you hurt anyone" said Teddie.
"We'll stop you here with all our might" said Lyner.
"Renamon, Biomerge Digivolution" said Rika.
"Right away" said Renamon.
Their was a flash of light, Renamon and Rika disappeared and in there place was a humanoid Digimon with a staff and a wolf like mask.
"Don't worry, this is their strongest form, Sakuyamon" said Ikuto.
"Great, now Dia, lend me your power" said Amu.
"Certainly" said Dia.
After incantation she transformed into Amulet Diamond and got ready for a fight, everyone changed into their strongest forms and prepared for a fight like none other, Lucas grabbed his weapons to join the Personas charged at Nyx while everyone unleashed their strongest attack, the attacks hit Nyx dead on however when the smoke cleared they were shocked to see that even their combined attacks had only slightly hurt Nyx. A card then appeared from out of no where, it then changed into a new card which sank into Nyx's skin.
"Is that all the will of man has to offer?" Nyx asked.
He swung his sword , he didn't even hit any of them yet they were all flung into the ground by the force of the attack, truly Nyx was a strong opponent.
"Do not mistake me, I am stronger then all those years ago, do not think you will defeat me so easily due to having more people this time" said Nyx.
"Damn it" said Lucas.
Both Lucas and Ikuto then charged at Nyx however both their attacks were blocked by it's sword, Nyx then used a fire spell to try to burn them away, they had trouble dodging that and soon they were back where they had started.
"Don't give up, this fight has just started" said Lucas.
Oddly two boys then appeared behind Nyx, both Persona groups seemed surprised to see them, Nyx turned his head and was too surprised by a certain blue haired boy.
"Impossible" said Nyx.
"Can't be..." said Mitsuru.
"It is..." said Yukari.
"But how..." said Akihiko.
"It's him" said Aigis.
"Isn't that guy on the left..." said Chie.
"How did he get here" said Youske.
"Who cares, it's great to see him" said Teddie.
"Who the hell are they?" asked Pan.
"Minato Arisato" said a joyful SEES group.
"Sōji Seta" said Youske's tearful group.
Everyone prepared for the battle with Nyx as the Protagonists of Persona 3 and Persona 4 took to the centre stage.
Aftermath
Hi I'm joy
And I'm Project H and welcome to the aftermath
Oh my god, oh my god
What is it
Not only is the Protagonist of Persona 3 there but also the Protagonist of Persona 4, I smell an epic battle on the next chapter
"Indeed" said Takaya.
This chapters guest is Takaya, seeing as this is the last chapter we will have with him we decided to be nice and let him be the guest this time
So what do you think, interesting chapter huh
"Indeed, not only it the deceased leader of SEES there but also the hero of Inaba as well, I hope the writer explains how that is even possible" said Takaya.
Indeed, don't mess it up writer, anyway just so you know the answer to the riddle is yes it does the question asked if it makes a sound not if you heard it
"What a strange riddle,anyway the riddle for this chapter is a doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl named Sarah,the bus driver had to go on a long bus trip that would last a week, before he left he gave Sarah seven apples why?"asked Takaya.
Now onto some profiles, spin the dusty roulette
Takaya spins the roulette, it suddenly stops
