"Be careful, this one smells really strong." Teddie said nervously.

"Right, in that case Izanagi." Yu said before a dark purple glow appeared around Shadow Chie.

"Nice one, alright my turn let's do this Jiraiya," Yosuke said as his persona summoned a gust of wind and blew Shadow Chie off balance.

"What the, ok now you're really making me mad." Shadow Chie said angrily.

"Now, before she gets back up let's take her down." Yosuke said.

"I'm right behind you Yosuke." Yu said as the two of them ran towards Shadow Chie and started relentlessly attack her before she lashed out with her whip and forced them back.

"That's it, I'm not letting that happen again." Shadow Chie said before a green shield appeared in front of her and she started glaring at Yosuke with hatred in her eyes.

"Hey, why is she so angry at me?" Yosuke asked.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." Yu said before running towards Shadow Chie and slashing at her with his katana.

"Right, persona." Yosuke said as Jiraiya summoned a second gust of wind only for Shadow Chie to barely seem bothered. "What the, that did way more last time."

"It has to be that shield, it's blocking her weakness." Teddie said.

"Great, now what are we supposed to do?" Yosuke asked.

"You can die." Shadow Chie said cracking her whip as bolts of lightning struck Yu and Yosuke.

"Oh no, Yosuke's hurt." Teddie said fearfully.

"Izanagi." Yu said quickly just before Shadow Chie moved to hit Yosuke with her whip only for Izanagi to attack her instead.

"Man, that was way too close." Yosuke said getting to his feet. "Alright, let's try something else. Persona."

With those words a bright green glow appeared around Yu.

"Yosuke, alright I get it." Yu said.

"Nothing you do will beat me, I'm going to get rid of both of you." Shadow Chie said before small blocks of ice appear around Yu and Yosuke before exploding.

"Come on, ice too?" Yosuke asked. "Just what can't she do?"

"Are you alright Yosuke?" Yu asked.

"Yeah, I'm ok." Yosuke said just before the green shield appeared in front of Shadow Chie before shattering. "Whoa, how did that happen?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely a good thing." Yu said. "Izanagi."

The moment Yu said that, his persona appeared and an orange glow appeared around Yosuke as a bright purple glow appeared around Shadow Chie.

"Oh no, it's defenses are back to normal." Teddie said fearfully.

"Don't worry about that, let's take her down Jiraiya." Yosuke said as his persona created a powerful gust of wind that sent Shadow Chie crashing into a wall.

"Nice, let's finish her off." Yu said.

"Right behind you partner." Yosuke said as the two of them ran towards Shadow Chie and started attacking her again only to be forced back by her whip a second time.

"That's it, now I'm really mad." Shadow Chie said angrily before cracking her whip and creating two more blocks of ice.

"She's getting even tougher, my legs feel like jelly." Yu said weakly. "How are you holding up Yosuke?"

"I've been better, one or two more of those and I'm done." Yosuke said nervously.

"Alright, in that case we need to take her out quickly." Yu said. "Izanagi."

"I was thinking the same thing." Yosuke said. "Let's take her out."

"You're not going to do anything like that." Shadow Chie said coldly.

"We'll just have to wait and see, Izanagi." Yu said as the dark purple glow appeared around Shadow Chie again.

"I think I've only got one more of these in me, so this one needs to be enough." Yosuke said. "Let's take her down Jiraiya."

The moment Yosuke said that, Jiraiya appeared and created another tornado.

"No." Shadow Chie said before collapsing.

"Did we do it?" Yu asked.

"I think so." Yosuke said. "That was way too close, though now we get to do the hard part."

"Oh man, what happened?" Chie said weakly getting to her feet. "Wait, why is that thing still here?"

"I know it's hard to accept Chie, trust me I know better than you think, but that's you." Yosuke said. "It isn't all of you, but everything it said is true."

"No, I would never treat Yukiko like that." Chie said defensively. "She's my friend and I'll do anything to help her, it's just…"

"Just what Chie?" Yu asked.

"She's so popular and everything, I just don't want to lose my friend." Chie said sadly.

"Trust me Chie, that's not going to happen." Yosuke said. "Trust me, the two of you are going to be fine."

"Yeah, thanks Yosuke." Chie said before walking up to her Shadow as it got to its feet. "I guess what you were saying is true."

The moment Chie said that her Shadow nodded before a blue light enveloped it.

"Tomoe." Chie said collapsing to her knees.

"Hey Chie, are you alright?" Yu asked.

"Yeah, just give me a second and we can keep going." Chie said.

"No way, we should head back." Yosuke said. "None of us are in any shape to keep going, plus as long as we get to Yukiko before the fog rolls in we'll be fine."

"I can't just leave her here, she could be in danger." Chie said.

"I know, don't worry Chie. We'll rescue her no doubt right partner." Yosuke said

"Yeah, we'll be sure to save her." Yu said.

"Ok." Chie said slowly getting up. "Don't worry Yukiko, we're definitely saving you."

With those words the four of them walked back out of the castle.

"Wait isn't that the door?" Yu asked suddenly.

"Door, what are you talking about?" Yosuke asked.

"Wait, do you mean the door that goes with that key you had?" Chie asked. "Well where is it?"

"You guys really can't see it?" Yu asked. "It's right over here."

The moment Yu said that, a blue glow enveloped him, Yosuke, and Chie.
