Chapter 26: Tower of Strength
Other Yu, Other Yukiko, Other Chie, and Taichi are the only team member left of their squad sent by the Floating City to see the chaos happening in Japan. "Just insane out there," Other Chie said.
"Yes, Chie it is. You are up with the second to last tower before the main complex will be showing up," Other Yukiko said.
"Oh, I got this, I will not fail you guys," Other Chie said as she is pumped to take out their inferior selves.
"Don't overdo it, we are losing too many people," Other Yu said as Other Chie nodded his head.
"You got it, boss. I am going to kick them into next week," Chie said as she goes away with the trio talking about their plans.
"I noticed movement with Adi is quite different. She stole my demon and she moved out of there," Other Yukiko said.
"Seems like her puppets found out her plan for them but we still need to take her in since she is alone now," Other Yu said.
"Indeed. We are so close to completing our mission. Once we get the girl and tower begin to gather power. We will begin our operation," Taichi said as Chie goes off to prepare for the tower to appear somewhere on the outskirts of the town.
Elsewhere nightfall has come with Yu getting cleaned up the bathroom with Rise already in bed. She has already fallen asleep while looking at his beautiful wife to gaze at her lovely face. "So beautiful and nice soft lips," Yu thought as she is wearing a blue nightgown covering her body.
"Oh Yu," she said softly in her sleep. He is dazed by her soft voice as it tempts him to do some naughty things to her body.
"So, tempting," he thought as he sees Rise showing a good amount of cleavage. "So deep," Yu comes up with his hand to put his finger onto her nightgown to slowly slip it down until it reveals her white bra holding in her large breasts. "Damn so amazing," he thought as he pulls down the top part of her nightgown down to her stomach gazing at her body.
Rise opens her eyes to notice her husband being pervy with her. "Oh, I love when he is like this. So needy for me," Rise thought with an impish pretending to be asleep letting her husband do what he wants with her to see what he is going to do.
"Oh Rise, I can't resist," Yu begins to grope her tits to enjoy their softness and the cotton texture of her cute bra holding in her big girls.
"Oh yeah baby, play with my tits you love so much," Rise thought as she can't hold her moans in still pretending to be asleep. "Oh Yu," Rise moaned as she felt her panties getting wet from Yu's firm touch. "Damn he is so handy here," Rise thought as Yu is caressing her breasts to pull down the bra cups to reveal her 32F breasts to be amazed.
"Those tits are perfect," he thought as he goes down to suck one of her nipples and twisted the other with his hand. "Rise, Rise," he said to moan her name as Rise is turned on by his moaning.
"Gee, those moans of his are so hot. He is getting into this," Rise thought.
"Oh goodness, sorry Rise. I can't help it anymore," Yu said.
"Yes, don't hold back baby. Give me your manhood," Rise thought still closing her eyes waiting for him to wipe out his member for her. Yu takes off his pants and underwear to expose his dick as Rise feels his member twitching onto her flat belly. "Oh, come to momma," she thought getting ready for him to do something naughty.
"I need those tits dear; I need them so bad," Yu said spreading out her breasts to place his penis in the middle of them. He presses her mounds tight around his shaft to begin fucking her big boobs.
"Oh yes, I knew you can't resist my tits Senpai. You resist them even back then," Rise thought as Yu is consumed with lust and longing with him enjoying the softness and shape of her overly ample chest. He noticed the looks of pleasure on Rise's sleeping face and her long curly brown hair spread on the bed sheets.
"These fleshy mounds are so irresistible. I love them so much like the rest of you," Yu groaned as Rise smiles at this. She enjoys pleasing and teasing her husband with her curvy hourglass figure. He goes down to kiss Rise to shove his tongue down her mouth.
"Oh goodness Sempai, such a bad boy. I love you like this," Rise said as she returns his kiss with her tongue brushing against his own. She noticed he was so horny he wasn't noticing her looking at his cute face.
His thrusting is getting more intense until he explodes all over Rise's chest and face. "Oh fuck, that was amazing," he said as he flops onto her body.
"Enjoying yourself honey?" Rise asked as she had a lewd smile on her face to lick her pink lips covered with his sperm enjoying their salty taste.
"You were awake this whole time?" he asked.
"Yes baby, I was. You were so naughty with me, doing what you wanted with me while I was asleep. Pretty hot when you are like that," Rise said with a wink while still having cum all over her face and chest. "Goodness, you were blown a lot huh?" Rise asked to see his hot seed on her boobs.
"You were so cute, I can't help myself," Yu said.
"Oh, I understand. Now I need to get cleaned up again," Rise said.
"We can take a bath together," Yu said as Rise gives him an eyebrow raised.
"Oh, we are just going to fuck in the tub after that. Are we?" she asked.
'We might if the time is right," Yu said.
"Smooth but I want us to go into the tub and just cuddle. Gene is going to come to the shop tomorrow, he will be working here from now on," Rise said.
"Oh yeah, he is going to be pretty helpful around here," Yu said.
"Yep, also he is a real cutie. He will bring even more customers here," Rise said.
"So, you wasn't enough?" Yu asked as Rise pouted at this.
"I am cute enough just two cuties are better than one," Rise said as they went into the bathroom to clean themselves and go back to sleep while cuddling in the bed.
Within the day, Rise and Yu open up the store with Nanako aiding them in setting the place up. Nanako is pretty sad from the recent news about Adi being evil and controlling them for her dark plans for the universe.
"I can't believe Adi is like that," Nanako said feeling disappointed she trusted her.
"Well, life is like that sometimes. We got a new friend Gene who is Yosuke's special partner," Yu said.
"You mean his boyfriend, I hear he is very nice," Nanako said as they see the short cutie Gene coming through the door.
"Good morning everyone. I am ready for work boss," Gene said as Rise is in her work outfit already to see Gene wearing a beige short dress with a black pleated skirt reaching his knees along with blue sandal shoes which matches his blue hair and blue eyes.
"Very cute. Get on an apron and get to work," Rise said.
'Okay, you must be Nanako. Yosuke talks about you a lot," Gene said.
"Yes, I heard about you too. You are very cute, I love your outfit," Nanako said as she points to his beige short dress.
"Thank you, I want to get a paycheck to pay for some more cute outfits. I hope you help me pick them out when we go out shopping," Gene said.
"That would be cool, we can doll each other up," Nanako said as Gene looks excited about this.
'That sounds like a great idea. I hope you pick something nice for me," Gene said.
"Ditto," Nanako said as they are getting along very quickly the four begin to open up the shop with people coming into the restaurant to notice the new pretty waitress.
"Oh Rise, who is the new cutie here?" one of the guys asked.
"She is new here," Rise said.
"I know her, she is Yosuke's new girlfriend he keeps hanging around town," another guy said.
'Oh yeah, he ditched that foreigner woman huh? Better to stay close to home," another man said as they all were not happy with Alice and everything around her lately.
"Well, I will make him happy. What do you need?" Gene asked as he pulls out a notepad to take their orders with Nanako aiding Gene to pass out the orders.
"You are so cute Nanako and working so hard," an old lady said.
"Thank you, madam," Nanako said.
"I bet your father would be proud of you," the old lady said as Nanako nods with a sad smile.
"Yes he would be," Nanako said as Gene looks on to be sympathetic about her father's death since his father who he loved very much was killed by demons recently.
Rise and Yu make the orders while the customers are enjoying themselves. "It must be awful to have your family die in that invasion with those monsters," a middle-aged woman said.
"Yeah but we are managing," Yu said.
"Mr. Dojima was a good man. Who protects us and his daughter to every end," the woman said.
"How are you doing taking care of his daughter?" a man asked Rise.
"Doing well, we have known her for so long. She is like a little sister to us. We are taking good care of her but we need to sell out her old home though. We have no use for it," Rise said.
"Yeah, a lot of packing before it gets sold off. We will put the funds to good use. Building up Nanako's college fund she will need in the coming future," Yu said.
"That is good thinking. Nanako is a bright young girl, it would be a waste to not let her honor her mind and senses for the real world struggles ahead," the man said.
"We know, she is driven that's for sure," Yu said.
"Seems like this is training for you both to be proper parents in the future. Right," the old lady said playfully.
"Yeah, you can say that. I wanted to have a big family who would embrace the life of Tofu among other things," Rise said.
There was a break from the orders with Gene and Nanako in the back washing some dishes. "I like your nails, they are very pretty," Nanako said as Gene has grown out his fingernails to have a nice length, nicely trimmed, and painted blue.
"Thanks, I want them to look nice. Painted them to match my hair and eyes," Gene said.
"I need to paint my nails too," Nanako said.
"I think you would look very cute," Gene said.
"So, are you our mentor?" Nanako asked Gene who is replacing Adi to be their Sensei.
"Yes, I will guide you through this crisis and save humanity from these monsters," Gene said.
"You are an angel?" Nanako asked.
"Sort of, I am a Nephilim. A cross between a Human and Angel. I am different," Gene said as Nanako is confused.
"How are you different, you seem normal to me," Nanako said.
"Oh, some people in my past think I am a freak which made me feel sad," Gene said.
"They are just bullies. You are you; you can't change that. I don't think you are a freak," Nanako said as Gene feels happy she says that.
"Thank you Nanako, you are very sweet," Gene said as Nanako blushes in the face from embarrassment.
"It's nothing," Nanako said.
"I heard about your father and how he died against that woman. Trying to protect you," Gene said.
"Yeah, he was so brave. I miss him so much," Nanako said as Gene nodded his head to relate to this.
"My parents have been dead recently," Gene said as Nanako's eyes widen by this.
"Oh, that is so sad. So many people are dying from these monsters," Nanako said as Gene nods his head.
"Indeed, my father was a brave warrior of heaven who fought back against the hordes of demonic forces who want to use Humanity for malicious intent," Gene said.
"Wow, that sounds so cool. My dad is a detective who seeks out criminals to protect everyone in town," Nanako said as Gene smiles to see they both have cool dads.
"We have something in common little missy," Gene said.
"Yeah, our dads are so cool and heroic. I am proud of my father," Nanako said.
"Me too," Gene said.
"So are all demons bad?" Nanako asked curiously Kai and his sister Rei who are demons who saved her from Other Yukiko and her demons.
"No, not all demons are bad. Just like not all angels are good," Gene said as he has bad flashes of memories of a certain angel who he doesn't like.
"Oh, like who?" Nanako asked.
"There is this jerk named Merkabah. One of the right hands of my former master. Anything that doesn't follow Heaven's rules, would be destroyed. Deeming those he sees as unworthy of our master's grace filth," Gene said.
"He sounds so awful," Nanako said.
"You don't know the half of it. He finds this world, it would be hell to pay," Gene said as he can imagine the damage one of the most Angels in heaven would do to this world.
"Are angels pretty?" Nanako asked.
"Angels can be some of the most beautiful beings in all reality. Humans would gaze at them and be taken aback by our beauty," Gene said.
"Which means you are very pretty Gene," Nanako said to comment on his looks with Gene being bashful about this.
"Gee, kid. That came out of nowhere but thank you," Gene said feeling humble about his feminine looks.
"No wonder Yosuke likes you. You look like an idol. So cute and pretty you know. Very sweet and gentle," Nanako said.
"Goodness, I am glowing up in the face. Thank you, it's nice to be treated well by others," Gene said.
"No problem," Nanako said.
"Gene and Nanako, we got more customers coming in," Yu said as they finished their dishes to go back to work.
Rise and Yu noticed Kai and Rei coming into the shop. "Welcome again, you two," Yu said.
"Hey there," Nanako said happily to see the two there.
"Hey there Nanako, are you okay?" Rei asked.
"I am fine, thank you. You need some food?" she asked as the two sat down at a booth.
"Yes, I will have the usual," Kai said.
"Same here," Rei holds onto her chest feeling doozy.
"Are you okay?" Kai asked worried.
"I am fine, thank you," Rei said as Gene comes over to see sense these demons instantly.
"You are going to cause any trouble here?" Gene sounds serious about this.
"No, not at all. We are just enjoying some good food," Kai said.
"Yes we are," Rei said.
"Okay, whatever you say but if you are deemed a threat. I will not hesitate to cut you down if you hurt my new friends," Gene said.
"Noted, bring us our orders," Kai said.
"Sure," Gene said as he walks away to not have a good feeling about him. "He only seems to care about his sister. No care in the world," he thought. "Nanako said you fought Other Yukiko and her demons?" Gene asked.
"Yes, I did. It was tiresome. Other Yukiko is very strong but those Sisters of Fate are bothersome as well. They have roles in helping Other Yukiko in her fight against me. Clotho is the healer of the three, she keeps them healthy and makes barriers to keep them safe. Lachesis can depower her enemies and power up her allies as well as subvert people with aliment skills. Then there is Atropos who is the mage who has access to the four basic elements fire, ice, wind, and lightning acting as extra firepower," Kai said as this will be useful to him.
"Thank you, that will be handy if we fight them," Gene said as he walks away to get their orders. "I have useful information about Other Yukiko's demons," he said to Yu and Rise.
"Thanks, we don't want to be caught off guard again, especially after Demeter," Yu said.
"If she shows up again, let me handle her for you all. She will use their feelings about Teddie's death to distract you," Gene said.
"Honestly, I can't stand seeing her again. We will let you handle her," Yu said as Gene nods his head.
"Thanks, I will show you why you call me Sensei, leader," Gene said as he does a nice curtsy for him.
Time has passed with the afternoon coming in as the sun is setting with the tower popping out of the ground with Other Chie waiting for them on top. Demeter is watching on top of a tree. "Seems like they are making their move. Well, I need to ambush them and take them out. I wonder if that angel freak is going to show up," Demeter said.
Back with the others, Yu can see the tower within the distance. "So, a new one shows up," Yu said.
"Time to go. Nanako, are you ready?" Rise asked as Nanako has been training for us.
"Yes, I will not disappoint you, big sis," Nanako said.
"If something happens. Run away, they need you," Rise said as Nanako grabs her fusion gem which used to belong to Teddie.
"Teddie," Nanako thought as she heads off with Yu, Rise, and Gene.
"Who is available?" Yu asked.
"Only Marie is in town, I will call her to tell her," Rise said as they nearby a forest to see a ton of roots erupting out of the ground trying to attack them. Yu is dodging the incoming roots trying to leash out onto them as Gene leaps out of the car.
"This is Demeter for sure. Keep going," Gene said as he pulls out his punching daggers to slice up the roots. Demeter is summoning her horde of living trees. "Fire Dracostrike," Gene swings his blades to summon a flaming dragon to burn through the groups of monster trees. "Firestorm," he conjures a twister of flames to burn away the living trees.
"No! My little harvests are burned away. So, you have come freak," Demeter said as she appears before the Nephilim.
"I have come in the others' sake. You are going to pay for killing their friend," Gene said.
"You still hung on that. That shadow is worthless," Demeter said as Gene gets into a combat stance with each blade in hand.
"I will not be swayed by your appearance. I will not hold back in taking you out," Gene said as he glows in a bright white light to spawn his visor over his face, his dove-like wings pop out of his back and his outfit changes into a white flowing robe fitting his slender body with white tights and black slippers.
"Seriously, is that a sailor dress? Sticking with a lady boy thing huh?" Demeter mocks him.
"I think it looks nice on me. Please don't understate me, you are going to regret it, Violet Flash," Gene uses a light spell to blast at Demeter to knock her into a tree breaking it on impact.
"Doesn't matter to me, I will kill you and my master will reshape the world," Demeter said as she uses her psychic shove with Gene sidestepping away from the attack to unleash bolts of light to pepper the area around Demeter destroying any trees she can use to her advantage.
"Adi is twisted by her experiences on the Other Side. That bleakness of her world made her into what she is now. She needs to be stopped," Gene said as Demeter summons two rocky towers above to crush Gene but blast them away with ease with powerful fireballs.
He flies towards the goddess to kick her in the back to knock her into a tree. "Holy Dance," he rapidly cut and slash into the goddess with Almighty energy flowing through his blades delivering powerful attacks to leave her breathless. He follows up with a close-range Megidolaon to catch her in a huge explosion of white energy.
Demeter fumbles onto the grass with Gene hovering in the air with his pure white wings with his robes flowing against the wind. He is tossing fireballs with the Demeter getting pushed back with her summoning walls of earth to block his attacks.
He uses Megidolaon to slam through the barriers with ease to speed toward Demeter like a bullet to dive into her to spear his two blades into her body. He then unleashes a wave of light to send her flying away.
"Grave," Demeter unleashes waves of stone spikes trying to overwhelm Gene to fly out of range. Demeter made the stone spikes unleash explosions to knock Gene out of the sky. Demeter summons a big fist of stone trying to crush Gene.
"Not so fast," Gene said as he unleashes his firestorm to summon a flaming twister around him to destroy the earthly fist. "As I said, I am not going to show you mercy, Demeter. Nothing but a heartless demon who needs to be purged," Gene said as Demeter is shacked by his man's power.
"Gee, he is stronger than I thought," Demeter said as she keeps going to fight against Gene.
Back with Yu and the others reached the tower to see Marie waiting for them. "Seems like trouble never stops," Marie said as she looked to see Nanako is there. "You sure you are ready for the fighting?" Marie asked.
"Yes, I want to fight. This is what I want," Nanako uses her Fusion Gem to fuse with Artemis sporting a cute Greek-like archery outfit.
"Gee, looking like a sailor suit Greek edition," Rise said.
"I think I look cool," Nanako pulls out her bow to be ready for a fight. Rise noted Nanako's Persona element is Nature.
"Come on, let's move," Yu said as they are all in their fusion forms to enter into the tower to see the spiral staircase.
"Hello to my tower. Before you fight me, you need to clear three floors where you will be fighting a powerful demon each. Think of it like a bout of skill," Other Chie's voice echoed through the tower.
"She thinks this is some kind of tournament," Nanako said.
"Yeah, seems like this is the gimmick of this tower," Marie said as they go upstairs to be within a large space seeing a large Minotaur appears to block their path.
"I will be your opponent deemed by Mistress Chie. Only one on one is allowed for each floor but Navigator can give support like it would matter," the Minotaur said.
"Seriously. Who is going first?" Yu asked.
"I will go," Nanako said.
"Alright, I will back you up Nanako. Be careful," Rise said as she splits up with Kouzeon aiding in supporting the fighter on the field.
"So, the little one has shown up. Foolish mistake," Minotaur said.
"Well, she was going to go anyway. Might as well keep an eye on her," Rise said as Nanako pulls out her arrow to prepare for a fight.
"Do your worst," Nanako said.
"Well, I will rip your soul from your dead body and Mistress Chie will greatly reward me," Minotaur lets out a big roar which shakes the floor to lunge at Nanako. She rolls away as she focuses power into her arrow to fire into the demon's back making him flinch.
Rise uses her Valor Song to empower Nanako while slowing down the demon. "Crush," he stomps his hooves onto the floor to unleash waves of energy to skirt across the floor.
"Spiral Shot," she empowers energy into her next arrow which has a glowing tip. She fires her arrow to strike deep into the leg of the beast to make him knell onto the floor. "Floral Gust," Nanako summons a wave of sharp leaves to cut into the hide of the monster.
"Hmm, you have some skill missy but I will crush your bones into dust," Minotaur uses Charges to empower his new physical move. He stomps his feet to stun Nanako with a violent shake to get tackled by the big beast knocking her across the arena to slam into a wall.
"Nanako!" Yu, Marie, and Rise said as Nanako spits blood onto the ground.
"I am okay, I can do this," Nanako said as she leaps back into the action to toss down a Floral Gust to follow up with a Spiral Shot to do some damage.
"No bad," Minotaur is trying to hit her but Nanako is dodging and rolling away from his attacks.
"Wood Divide," Nanako summons spears of wood from the floor to cut into the Minotaur. "Seed Bomb," she tosses a seed to let out explode potent pollen to do some damage while causing the monster to be stunned.
"Wait what?" Minotaur is surprised her seed bomb made him unable to move leaving him. Nanako conjures vines to bind the beast down as she uses Spiral Shot to pierce through the stunned beast's head to kill him instantly.
"Gee that was close," Nanako said as the trio were happy to see Nanako handle herself in her first battle.
"Oh Nanako, that was so good," Rise said.
"Pretty good Nanako," Marie said.
"I am proud of you Nanako," Yu said as the teenage girl is blushing from all the praise she is getting.
"I want to do my best," Nanako said.
"Well, the young one managed to win her fight. Go to the second round on the next floor. Your next fighter will be waiting for you," Other Chie said throughout the tower's interior.
"Time to keep moving," Yu said as the four head upstairs.
Back with Gene and Demeter fight is getting more intense for the forest is getting ripped to parts by their battler. Both of the spewing out spells and attack with Gene get through Demeter's defenses to use Holy Dance to nail her hard several times and deliver a strong kick to knock Demeter onto the floor.
"Damn it, you put up a way better fight than the humans did," Demeter said.
"If they knew how you operated. They wouldn't beat you too but I do have skills to make this fight go faster," Gene sees more living trees trying to kill him but he flies into the air. "Divine Arrowfall," he spreads his wings to unleash a powerful Almighty skill making a ton of glowing arrows from his back to seek out every living tree destroying them on contact. "Trisagion," Gene conjures an orb of powerful flames and flings it at Demeter which breaks through her resistance to fire giving out great damage.
"Damn it piercing spells," Demeter said as Gene is shooting out bolts of light trying to overwhelm Demeter and keep her on her toes.
"You are not the only one who can use those types of spells. Indignation," Gene raises his hand into the hand with the sky above begins to darken. He then calls down beams of light to begin peppering the landscape with mighty explosions that rocked the whole forest near Inaba.
"What the hell?" Demeter is surprised by the sheer power of the light spell.
"Wash away your evilness, Prominence," Gene unleashes waves of golden flames to slam into Demeter knocking her into a beam of light and getting hurt even more.
"Shit," Demeter said as she uses Impaler's Glory to power up her next move.
"Great Logos," Gene uses another Almighty spell which summons four orbs of energy around his body.
"Eat this Dazzle Ray," Demeter fires a big beam of light from her little finger but one of the orbs absorbs it getting bigger. "What the hell?" she asked as she tosses more spells at Gene but his orbs absorb them acting like a shield while getting stronger.
"Dummy," Gene tosses all four orbs at once to trigger a few massive explosions. Demeter is caught off guard by this spell which greatly wounds her.
"Gee not good," Demeter use an Aeroblast to fire off a beam of wind. Gene uses his blades to slice the spell in half as he uses Antichthon to slam into Demeter while weakening her. "You have that spell too," Demeter doesn't like it when someone uses her own medicine against her.
"My father taught me well to fight bastards like you," Gene said as he is pressuring her very hard. Demeter is trying to use barriers but they got torn apart by Gene's powerful physical attacks and magic spells.
He flies towards Demeter to rapidly slash into the goddess to gather up a storm of flames to engulf her inside it. He flies in front of the huge flaming twister tearing into Demeter. "Heavenly Blade," Gene powers up his blades to extend them into white swords to slice up the twister to make it implode badly hurting Demeter.
Gene comes in to cut and slash while kicking her reducing her into a bloody mess. Gene manages to sever one of Demeter's arms to make it drop onto the grass. "Damn it, Demeter," the goddess is screaming in pain as blood is pouring out of her severed limb.
"If you bleed, you can die by my hands," Gene said looking very serious backing Demeter into a corner.
"Damn it, he is stronger than I give him credit," Demeter uses her unique skill Eleusinian Harvest which fully heals her wounds and makes a passive shield acting like a second skin.
"Okay, all I need to do and break that field around her body, and then she is mine," Gene said as he prepares to wipe out this goddess.
Back with Yu and others are on the second level to see their next opponent which is a Hydra for the one-head monster looms over them. "So, who will be the victim I will turn to ash?" Hydra demanded.
"I will fight you now," Yu steps up with his sword in hand.
"Interesting, I hope you are destroyed by my power," Hydra said.
"Honey, I will back you up," Rise said getting into her navigator position.
"So, we got the second round to this bout. Let's begin," Other Chie said as Hydra spews streams of flame from its maws with Yu using Black Frost to drain the flames.
"Diamond Dust," Yu ordered as Black Frost strikes the Hydra with intense cold to freeze them in place. "Cross Slash," Yu leashes out two powerful slashes to sever the head from its body.
The Hydra makes two more heads from the exposed neck slot. "Try again human," Hydro uses Toxic Breath to cover him in poison mist.
"Oh, damn it," Yu switches to Ishtar to have her use Amrita to purge the poison out of Yu's body while making a psychic barrier to shield him from the poison. "Psychic Surge," Ishtar blows the poison away. "Wild Thunder," Ishtar unleashes wide amounts of lightning bolts to purge all the poison in the air.
Both Yu and Ishtar tossed lightning bolts to strike at the heads leaving burning flesh behind. "Switching to Cybele, Grave," Yu switches Personas to unleash rows of sharp earth spikes to cut into the monster. Both Cybele and Yu block incoming strikes with their swords. Both swing their blades to sever the heads of the monster.
Nanako looks to be very impressed with Yu's performance. "He is so cool," Nanako said.
"Yep, he is. He went pretty hard trying to save you back in the day. He was on fire, wiping out Shadows to protect you," Rise said.
"Wow," Nanako said as Yu is evade incoming four more heads from the beasts with him.
"More crap like this," Yu tosses his blade to chop through two heads with Cybele using her blades to slice off the rest of the heads. Then 8 heads appear with Yu summons Yoshitsune to make him use Charge. "Use Hassou Tobi," Yu ordered as the Yoshitsune unleashed a powerful attack that hits the beast 8 times and sliced up the demon into a pile of gore on the floor.
"Well, you managed to defeat Hydra. Ou are not as powerful as my Yu but you are okay. I guess," Other Chie said as they can get up the stairs to last to the third level.
"Big bro, you were so cool out there," Nanako said.
"Thanks, come on. We need to get over with this," Yu said as they go stairs.
"I hope Gene is okay?" Nanako said is worried about him.
"I think he can handle himself," Yu said as they goes up the stairs.
The battle with Gene and Demeter continues as Demeter is shifting the forest around her. Creating walls of stone to block his path while setting up bulb turrets shooing him with seeds that spread stunning spores while twisting the tree roots trying to grab him.
He flies towards the giant stone walls to slice them in half with his Katars. He reduces the walls into diced pieces of debris as he washes the roots and bulbs with golden flames to burn them all away. Gene tosses a bunch of flaming spears to weaken the barrier on Demeter.
"Megidolaon," he tosses an orb of Almighty energy to score a hit doing more damage to her passive field.
"Where is your nerve Demeter? You were high and almighty at the beginning of the fight. Sword Storm," Gene said as he is pressuring Demeter to unleash a rapid amount of stabbings with his punching daggers weakening the barrier with each hit. One final thrust knocks Demeter away as he blasts her with another Megidolaon deeply reducing the power of the passive field.
"Damn it, he is much stronger than I thought," Demeter said as she summons more living trees but Gene uses Judgement Light to trigger a lot of instant kills wiping out a large amount of demonic trees. He purges the rest with his golden flames.
"Impaler's Glory," Gene empowers his next move via 3 times boost along with Pierce. "Dazzle Ray," he aims his dagger to fire a thin beam of light to destroy the passive field and punch through Demeter's chest.
"Fuck," Demeter spits blood onto the glass as Gene overpowering her with ease. "Damn it, I will not be bested by some femboy freak," Demeter said as she hovers into the air. She aims her only hand into the air to begin gathering masses of wood and earth to begin forming something around her.
"That can't be good," Gene said as he gets into a combat stance.
Demeter is inside a giant humanoid made of wood and stone becoming as big as 100 feet tall. "I will crush you freak and kill your little human friends too," Demeter said getting very cocky with this.
"I am going to blow you away and crush your essence. Removing you from the table forever," Gene said as he takes flight with his wings to engage in combat with this huge humanoid Demeter piloting within its core in the chest.
Back with the gang got to the third arena to see their opponent Cerberus who is a bigger stronger version of the original. "Which human wants to die against me?" Cerberus demanded.
"I will go this time," Marie said as she focuses her light magic to be ready to fight this demon.
"I got your back," Rise said as she gets into her spot with Marie stepping up to fight.
"So, the fake goddess has shown herself," Cerberus said.
"Stop calling me that. I am going to make you regret what you said," Marie said as she is blasting it with bolts of light. The three-headed dog rolls away as he unleashes bolts of lightning from his left head.
"Deflection Shield," Marie activates her energy mirror in front of her to catch and deflect it back with triple the power and speed to strike at the same head doing some serious damage.
"Not bad fake goddess," the Cerberus pounds his paws onto the floor unleashing beams of darkness coming out of the floor. Marie is dodging away from the attacks with her striking it with bolts of light.
"Eat this, Photon Geyser," Marie conjures a pillar of light under the monster dog to follow up with a barrage of light spears to rain down onto the Cerberus. She unloads a bunch of light orbs to blast apart the left head leaving two heads off.
The beast unleashes a wave of energy to knock Marie away to lunge at her. She activates her deflection shield to protect herself from the physical attack and triples the damage right back to the beast.
"Not a good idea dog," Marie is pounding away at the monster dog to drop light mines around the battlefield. The demon's movements are slowed down by the mines as she hits it with light bolts. "Divine Judgement," Marie hits it with a big flash of light to deliver severe damage.
"Burn," the right head fires a beam of flames. Marie used Deflection Shield to knock it back to blow off the head leaving two bloody neck slots leaving one head left.
"Hush-puppy, Photon Blaster," Marie unleashes a big beam of light to strike the monster dog to purge it and reduce it to dust.
"Well seem like you passed my test. Come to me, we are going to have a final bout," Other Chie said as they go up the stairs.
"You were cool Marie," Nanako said.
"Oh thanks, it was nothing. Let's deal with this woman and shut this tower down," Marie said as they go to the final stage.
Gene is flying away from the huge arms of the giant monster as he gets hit by the huge fist. "You are nothing more than an ant to me," Demeter said as rows of wooden spears and stone spikes lob at Gene. He flies away with him blasting and cutting them to pieces.
"Gee, time to soften you up," Gene said as he lobbed Antichthon spells at the giant to do some damage and weaken it further. "Great Logos," he summons four energy orbs around him to catch spells to make them bigger and leave him unharmed.
"Stupid protection," Demeter said as she feels her power slipping and getting sluggish. Demeter answers with her own Antichthon but his orbs absorb the spells reaching their full size.
"Taste my orbs," Gene tosses the four orbs to cause huge blasts which gravely damaged the giant. He flies up to the left arm to use Heavenly Blade to sever parts of the arm off dropping onto the ruined forest below.
"You bastard," Demeter is getting annoyed as this huge giant is just a big threat allowing Gene to pick it apart with his skills and spells.
"Fire Dracostrike," he swings his blades to toss twin flaming serpent dragons to crave into the stone and wooden hull of the living giant Demeter is puppeteering inside. "White Dracostrike," Gene summons a bright serpent dragon from his blades to strike at the head of the giant to blast it apart.
"Killing Wind," Demeter hits Gene with a strong wind spell to blow him away. He maintains his airtime to shake off the damage he took as he uses Photon Edge to unleash a barrage of light crescents to crave into the frame of the giant.
"Flare Barrage," Gene summons a big orb of flames above his head as it spews little fireballs that seek out their targets to pepper the giant breaking it apart. The flame orb finished as Gene tosses the orb and triggers a big blast destroying parts of the torso where Demeter is hiding.
"I will crush you," Demeter catches them in a psychic hold to use her remaining hand to grab him to crush him. Gene unleashes a wave of light to purge away the hand leaving the giant handless.
"I am going to blow you away. Impaler's Glory," Gene powers up his next move to spread out both hands powering up almighty energy into both palms. He raises his hands above his head to begin unleashing his last move.
"Do your worse," Demeter said as she unleashes a powerful beam of wind to head for him.
"Megido Blaster," Gene thrusts his palms forward to unleash a massive amount of almighty energy to pierce through the beam and slam right through the chest of the giant getting Demeter where she was.
"Such power, how could a freak like this be this strong," Demeter screams in pain as the attack leaves a huge hole in the giant as it falls apart onto the forest floor. Demeter gets launched into a tree with her lower body missing only leaving behind blood pouring out of there.
Gene lands on the ground to walk towards Demeter to see he is dying on the ground in a much worse than the last time she was beaten. "The others send their regards for you killing their friend. He is avenged," Gene said.
"Damn it, doesn't matter. I did my part," Demeter dies to become a crystal again which holds her essence.
Gene places his shoe onto it and crushes it under his heel putting down Demeter for good this time. "Good riddance," Gene said as he flies off back towards the tower to aid with the others.
Yu, Marie, Rise, and Nanako reach the last floor to see Other Chie along with her dark Persona. "You have come. Time for the final bout in our little tournament. You all get to fight me and my persona at once. This will make it more fun," Other Chie said.
"Gee, can you quit this already?" Rise asked as they all prepared for a fight.
"We are doing this for your own good. The chaos is spreading and your world will be inflicted with suffering," Other Chie said as Dark Tomoe swings her blades to unleash waves of earthly spikes for them to roll out of the way.
"That is nonsense, we know the truth about the Chaos. Your method will not help us in the long term," Marie said.
"Oh, you hear that from the angel reject huh? Doesn't matter, we got for big plans for this planet. You all seem to be waiting it away anyway," Other Chie said as she engages Yu with her blows and kicks.
"I will deal with her, deal with her Persona," Yu summons Cleopatra to shoot out beams of light with him unleashing waves of lightning bolts to push her back.
"Alright, Nanako sticks with us," Rise said as the three women are fighting the dark Persona with Tomoe unleashing rows of icy spikes across the floor.
"Not fighting back, it's for your own good. Why even fight at all, we know you are not with the criminal anymore," Dark Tomoe said.
"You are mistaken, this is for our sake. We are protecting our homes here and you are not welcome here," Rise said as she slams her with big bubbles to knock her away.
"You took my father away from me and threatened my home. I will never help you," Nanako lobs empowered arrows to explode bursts of pollen which are slowing down the persona.
"We need your soul. Either dead or alive, your body is not needed little one," Tomoe said as she unleashes a wave of cold air to be slowing them down their movements.
"We will not let that happen," Marie said as he tosses orbs of light to blast into Tomoe several times. Rise unleash leashes from her water whip to tear into the Dark Persona. "Wood Divide," Nanako cast rows of wooden spears to cut into the enemy Persona.
"How sad, we will put this world to better use. So ungrateful," Dark Tomoe said as she pushes them out with blasts of stone. She tosses stone spears with Nanako picking them out of the air. Rise cutting into Tomoe with her whip. Marie blasted her apart with light orbs and conjured a pillar of light to cook her alive.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Rise asked as Yu and Other Chie blocked and struck each other.
Cleopatra cast Gravity Well to set a dome to intense gravity to pin Other Chie in place. Yu cut and slash into her body but she muscles through it and uses Frost Breath to freeze Cleopatra and Yu in place.
"It's what it means. This world is filled with apathy, strife, and corruption. It will be better under new management," Other Chie said as she kicks Cleopatra across the field with Yu getting hit as well.
"Gee, that smarts," Yu said as Cleopatra casts Salvation to heal them both. "Thanks, Cleo," he said as the beautiful Persona nodded her head.
"No problem master," Cleopatra uses Photon Blaster to unleash a ray of light to slam into Other Chie but she braces against the attack to tank the hit.
"Get slammed," Other Chie creates pillars of stone and ice trying to crush the two between them. Cleopatra uses waves of gravity to slam into these pillars with Yu getting close and slashing into her body.
"Cross Slash," Yu has Cleo set up a Zero G to lift Other Chie into the air helplessly while Yu uses two powerful slashes to deliver heavy damage.
"Shit," Other Chie said as Yu kicks her across the space. "Eat my Galactic Punt," Other Chie delivers a powerful kick with Yu and Yoshitsune blocking the move to be shaken a bit.
"Time to cut you down to size," both swordsmen are overwhelming Other Chie to cut and slash into her body.
"Gee, they have been getting stronger. This would be trouble for the others," Other Chie thought as Yoshitsune stabs through her thigh. "Damn it and Yu uses God's Hand to power up his fist to slam into her face to knock her into a wall leaving a dent behind.
"Chie," Tomoe said as she wanted to aid her other self but the three women are keeping her on her toes.
"Time to put this woman down," Rise said as she traps her into a bubble. Marie uses Photon Blaster to deal heavy damage to put Dark Tomoe in a weakened state to be very vulnerable.
"Spiral Shot," Nanako powers up her arrow to turn the tip into a drill. She takes aim and fires at the head of the Persona to see they made a death blow.
"I am sorry Chie," Tomor fades away as Chie spits up blood with the defeat of her Persona putting her in a weakened state.
"Damn it Tomoe," Other Chie said as Yu sees an opening to use Cross Slash and Thunderous Rend to tear into her body with Yoshitsune using Hassou Tobi to finish her off. Their blades severed all her limbs from her body to be dying on the floor.
"It's over," Yu said as Other Chie looks at the ceiling.
"Damn, you guys have gotten stronger but I am afraid you will be no match to my bestie Yukiko and her boyfriend Yu. She will avenge me and you will face hell," Other Chie said as she dies right there.
"Guys," Gene flies through the openings to meet up with them. "Seems like you cleared up here. I got rid of Demeter for good but crushing her crystal which holds her essence. Meaning she is never coming back," Gene said as they are very impressed with this.
"Wow, you killed a god. You are amazing," Nanako said as Gene glows in the face.
"I am just doing my job. My father trained me to take out scumbags like Demeter. Despite her cute appearance, she is a real devil," Gene said as he goes over to the demonic gem to deactivate the tower.
"We are so close to our goal of stopping them from killing off our home," Yu said.
"Yes, it is," Gene begins to do something odd to use his angelic powers to purify the demonic gem to make it normal energy for him to absorb making himself stronger.
"What did you do?" Yu asked.
"I managed to make the demonic energy into pure energy and make it useful for me to power myself up," Gene said.
"Are you okay?" Marie asked.
"Yes I am and I need to get stronger for the fools we will face will only get worse from here. We should get going out of here," Gene said as they shut down the tower.
Elsewhere Other Yukiko is not happy with the news as her best friend Other Chie is no more. "Gee Demeter is dead and now my best friend is gone. I need to plan carefully for these next events. There is only one more tower left before the complex shows up to draw the demonic circle needed for the ritual. I need a plan to get Nanako to join us," Other Yukiko plots for she has her remaining demons Zeus and the Sisters of Fate who she will use to make her enemies pay.
