Forbidden Sanctuary
Though without its ceiling this stone Labyrinth was built as a tribute to the dragon gods. From outside it is a cloudy sky with fog and a sunlight penetrating the Labyrinth. The fog and sun gave off a blue color that lighted the Labyrinth.
The Labyrinth itself is rather dreary and empty with pots and vases and woodenly creates. But it did had a stone statue of a dragon god along with a door exit, somewhere in the labyrinth.
The double door entrance slowly open. Seven teens and a young girl with a black cat walked inside, most of them flinched as doors slammed shut.
Akira and company looked around the new area. Wondering where they are now…
Nah paced forward in front of the older group she looked up in the sky, the atmospheres familiarity seems to hit home to her.
Akira seems to catch on to what she is thinking, "Let me guess you been here before."
"Unfortunately no. But I read a book about this place. I believe it's located somewhere in the ruined part of the Valm Kingdom. "
Akira was about to inquire her until something happen, he and his friends wince at the bright light.
The dragon blood turns around to face the back hair teen before she could continue her gasped in surprise.
In a brief 10sec Nah saw seven of her companions consumed by pillars of lights.
After the light vanished the seven persona users are now in different costumes wearing their mask. To Nah compared to their normal (weird) attires their couthes seem to fit in quiet well in her home kingdom, expert for Futaba.
Nah sighed in relief she almost didn't recognize them in their new fitting costumes at first.
The Phantom Thieves of hearts were visibly shocked to see themselves back into their individual combat/thieves attires. They had previously thought they had lost due to being transported to a Dyson Spear world.
Akria outfit now consists of a black trench coat with a gray collared shirt, black trousers, dark brown Cuban heeled boots, and a pair of red gloves. His mask is a white bird-shaped mask with a black design around the eyes.
Ryuji now burglar outfit consists of matching black jacket and pants with knee pads, a red ascot, combat boots, a pair of yellow gloves, and a skull mask.
Ann's thief outfit consists of a skin tight red latex catsuit worn with a matching red panther mask, cleavage cutout, zippers, pink gloves, dark red thigh-high boots, and has a clipped on tail in the back.
Makoto's Metaverse outfit consists of a two-toned (dark blue and black) skintight suit that is worn with a long black scarf, a dark gray corset-style leather breastplate, shoulder and knee pads with spikes, white gloves, and an iron mask.
Yusuke thief outfit consists of a traditional kitsune-style half mask, a black jumpsuit with a striped sash worn across his hips, white motorcycle boots, blue gloves, and a white fox tail decorated with red ribbon attached slightly off-center to his sash.
Futaba's Metaverse costume consists of a skintight black bodysuit with fluorescent neon green glowing strips and matching black boots with neon green soles. Her mask is a pair of big black goggles with orange lenses.
And Haru's burglar outfit consists of a dark purple cavalier hat with a feather plume tucked into a Tyrian purple hatband, a long-sleeved pale pink blouse with a cravat, a black corset vest with gold detailing, bloomers that match her hatband, black pantyhose, a holster belt carrying ammo, and lace-up pumps. Her thief mask and gloves are black and violet respectively.
Haru was to the first to speak up "Wow, I sure didn't expect this!" the half French girl examined her old Phantom thieve attire.
"Yeah, at first I thought we were abducted by aliens," Futaba laughed nervously.
"It could be Aliens, you never know. But seriously, it's good to be back! Feel like a boss again."
"Somebody up their must love us," Ann mused.
"But who? That's the question," Yosuke said crossing his arms.
Makoto spoke up "How knows. It's best not too-"
"Good afternoon everyone."
"…!"
"I am the one who has granted your uniforms and a new ability. This sanctum will serve as your guide to acquiring a new kind of power in order to truly combat the Mirage and the 'Opera of Chaos'.
Your new ability will let you talk to a Hostile Mirage into joining you. Once a Mirage becomes your ally you will be able to fight the Mirage just like you were fighting Shadows but there's more to it.
Find an exit to the labyrinth, once you're outside you'll find a monastery of my mother's name. Some familiar faces and a priest will meet you there.
This task is treacherous and I won't be able to grant you a divine blessing this time, a blessing that would otherwise protect you and your Persona's. So be careful and good luck!"
And with that, the voice stopped.
Nah let the familiar of the voice sink in and what the voice had told them. 'Monastery of my mother's name'? Nah, face brightening in joy in realization, "It's definitely Tiki! Tiki's guiding us to her!"
"That sounded like a kid," Yusuke said reeling in the information, "Well at least we know why we're in these clothes again; they're prepping us for battle."
Futaba rolled her eyes at the artist "Well what else is new?"
Yusuke shrugged at her "I guess was hoping for something more interesting."
"Like what?" She teased.
"I don't know, like what Kiria got going with Tharja? This kind of ability doesn't make us real Mirage Masters but I guess we'll know more about that later."
"Speaking of Kiria I'm now wondering if we see her again? I mean she and Tharja are a prodigy of that field," Makoto said.
"I'm betting that we will, the last time we would have been completely lost without her. Sure we have Morgana but he's not a good expert." Ryuji said.
"Yeah," Futaba sighed dramatically.
Morgana felt the urge to slap this guy silly. While, it is true that he only knows the basics about the Mirage, and believe him he has to know these things since they are his natural predator, but they could at least try to give him more credit for protecting them from getting their performa drain.
Then again Morgana has been itching to find that secret treasure in the Idolospear, which is guarded by Hungry Trolls and Golems. Granted not all Mirage are bad, Tharja, Ninian, Rachel & Fae come to mind (especially Morgana's waifu Tharja). Only the deformed lesser & stupid Mirage that think of him as nothing more then a tasty furry snack.
The black cat decided to turn his attention towers the newcomer (Since there focus on their own discussion). He noted that Nah had her back turned and was whipping away a tear with her handkerchief.
Morgana walk up to her "What's a matter kid?"
"I-Its nothing a matter I just happy that- What minute who said that?" The cruelly twin tailed Burnette looked both ways.
Great just great! I knew I should have said something earlier! "Down here, I'm a 'magical talking cat'."
Nah slowly turned around looked down at the blue eyed cat. She rubbed both her eyes and blinked, "I-I didn't even know that you can talk my mistake." She maintains her cool and bowed.
"Hey, no sweat it kid. I'm surprised you haven't freaked out, unlike some people…"
Nah coughed at one hand to clear her throat "To be honest I'm not used to hearing a talking cat but then I remembered my own cat."
"Huh, really? Assuming you talk to your own cat."
"Actually, my cat talks to me." Nah giggled.
Yup, that kid a little crazy alright. Still adorable though. Morgana thought.
"I see you and Morgana are well acquainted already," Haru said cheerfully.
"Did you know that he can talk?" Nah, ask.
"Yup. Also, where heading through the trails, try to keep up with us alright?"
Nah scoffed at Akira. "Whatever."

Victoria is not having a good day at all, she was sent on a mission and yet it's taking this long for these goons to really crack open that safe. Sooner than latter Veronica is going to lose her patients.
Fast forward to five minutes later; It's was already too late and she and Roland got the call (from Thor) to leave the area and report back to the Empress and find a new role. Their monster underling dropped what they were doing and took their leave.
Roland with a reluctant Victoria head on out to the Palace area. Just after they leave the alley a new group of young teens & a man in black showed up.
Fortuna All-Stars and Raidou found what they were looking for.
"Is this it?" Raidou asks his cat partner.
"Affirmative! This is the place," Gotou said.
"Well I guess I'll go with you guys," Itsuki offered.
"I think for now you should head over to the border, we don't want you to derail you on your original quest."
"Quest?" Eleonora asks with a smirk.
"We're supposed to head over to Tomorrow Tokyo. He Ho." Pyro Jack, the ally of Eleonora, said.
"Well, I knew that! When I think of the word quest I think of a Hollywood film I was in…"
"HE Ho Ho. I know, you are as amazingly beautiful as a warrior princess! Best film ever! Ho!"
"Did you just call me ho?"
Pyro Jack flinched "W-hat? I didn't mean to say that. It's just the way my kin talk. He ho ho!"
"Rrrright," the blond deapen. "All that aside I agree with the cat, we should head on out."
"Agreed, we do need to regroup with Maiko and Barry," Yashiro said.
"Hm. But are you guys sure you can handle this without us?" Itsuki ask.
Raidou nodded "Yeah, we'll meet up with you after we find our friend."
The Mirage Masters said their farewells as they head on out to the border, leaving Raidou & Gotou to do their shreach by themselves.
"So tell me about this 'Random Mirage' you mention."
The cat looked around to make sure that nobody is listening then preceded to speak "That Mirage I talked about is one of King Top-hat's followers."
He slowly nodded, "I see." the man and cat turned their attention towards store entrance. King aka M-DEUS has been their key support in this world but he did not known nor heard that the Casper had follows.

Play Persona 2 Innocent Sin (PSP) OST - Battle Theme
The Phantom Thieves' of Hearts traveled through the Labyrinth. Along with the linear path they, of course, have encountered the mysteries entities known as Mirage.
The first Hostile Mirage encounter is a Tanooki Zhu Sister and three blobs. Akira decided to talk to one of them, just to see if what the voice had told them was indeed true.
"What do you want?" the Zhu Sister said harshly.
"Theirs is a job opening just for you. Are you interested?"
"Hmmm, I'll think about it… let me punch you in the gut, then I'm golden!"
"Do you have a better option?"
"Alright then," Zhu Sister picked up a rock on the ground, "How about I throw this rock at you and then I'll join you."
Akira's face deapen "Yeah, no freaking way."
"Too late!" the Zhu Sister tried to throw a rock at the human but he dogged the rock, hurdling towards him. The Mirage threw a fit "Ugh, forget you! You're no fun at all! I rather joined Masked foxy!"
"Masked Foxy? You mean this guy?" Akira pointed at Yusuke to his right.
"Yup, he's the hottest!" Yusuke flinched is in a mixer of shock and bafflement.
Akira smirked, "Sure he's more than happy to have a partner like you."
"Whoa what a minute, I did not agree to this-"
"Alright, then it's a deal! Yay, I'm so excited! Teehee~" the Mirage giggled as she twirled her raccoon staff.
[Zhu Sister joined Yusuke, on her own accord]
"Dang it, Akira. I'm going to get you for this."
Akira shrugged "We'll talk about this later, right now we need to get rid of those Top-hat freaks. Hey with your new powers you can get rid of them easily."
"I hope you're right about this…" Yusuke walked forward and charge like a ninja at the blobs with his sword at ready.
The blobs reacted by casting a fire ball at him. But Yusuke dogged and then slashed at the blob in a flash in half.
With his back turned the two blobs then tried to pounce at the human. Yusuke then jumped upwards slashing & taking out both the blobs, before that he can touch him.
He landed back down and he put his sword back into the sheath. He looked back at the group and sighed "I'll admit I'm impressed. But I still prefer a different Mirage."
"Well at least it's better than nothing," Ann smiled "Hopefully the next encounter would be my turned I would like a handicap as well."
"Yeah, just a friendly recommendation; don't kill a whole Mirage group. One ally could mean more allies." Makoto pointed out.
The teens nodded in agreement.
…
The Phantom Thieves' of Hearts reached the end of the linear path and found themselves at the Main Hall. There was a main double door with an exit sign and two stairs at the left and right wing areas.
They noted that the main door would not open without a key. So they went to the left wing to a dark dungeon with glassed windows.
They encountered the 2nd wave of Mirage but this time they encountered a new kind of Mirage foe.
This Mirage is completely new; its body looked like a Modern Pneumatic Tube Capsule but longer, and its steel tube legs look robotic (silver balls are the leg joints) with metal cartoon cleats. It's had humanoid muscular arms (A/N: inspired by the ones from the Popeye cartoons & Franky form One Piece). It also wore a gladiator's toga, its head is a big glass eyeball and wore a Greek warrior's hat. Its height is 42 inches and has a monkey like tail.
Futaba dubbed it Julius based on the new Mirage's attire & design.
Ryuji tried to negotiate with Julius but failed.
Haru took the opportunity to negotiate with the new Mirage and was successful at doing so.
…
After the 2nd wave, they continued on to their path through the left wing.
A third encounter had emerged, three Mirage; a Nickelwise, a Troll and a blue Casper.
Makoto and Ryuji were successful in negotiating with the Nicklewise and Casper. Makoto has the Casper with her, while Ryuji has the Niclewise.
As for the Troll, it didn't want to join either one of the humans and tried to attack them but ultimately got its butt kick by Makoto and Ryuji.
When the battle ended the Phantom thieves' pressed on to the end of the area and found a treasure box and a statue of a monster with horns and six eyes.
Akira could have sworn he heard Ayaha's voice again just by looking at the statue. He brushed it off and see what inside the box; he obtain items for currency and future battles.
The eyes of the statue started to flash red after the Phantom thieves acquiring the items.
…
They were suddenly transported back to the main hall. But without any time to ponder they headed to the right wing in hopes of getting the key to the main door.
Little Rain drop started to hit the ground wail they head over to right wing.
The dungeon itself was rather brighter compared to its counterpart, green vines seem to decorate the walls and lilac flowers.
The phantom thieves & Nah are amazed on how beautiful this place looked, chirping of small birds, sprinkles of little rain drops fit the contrast nicely. They had to admire the nice scenery as they walked through the halls.
They reach the end of the hall only to see an altar of a statue. A statue of a woman in long pony tail bathed in radiance, rays of sunlight surrounds it.
Play Rabbit - Super Mario 64 (DS) OST
A white ball of light appeared on the altar and in a pink smoke comes a pink rabbit with angle wings & a halo. It wore a blue tie and white suit cuffs with cufflinks. The rabbit's eyes were closed for some reason as it landed gracefully on one foot on the stone altar.
For the Phantom thieves, the rabbit's appearance could easily mistake for an oversized plush toy of a Mascot (the bunny's height is similar to Morgana's mascot form).
"Salutations, Persona Users my names is Henry, I am the servant of the divine dragon and the best merchant around!"
Akira might as well humor it, but before he can say anything-
"Oh don't worry about introductions, Master Igor and his assistances have already told me all about you guys! I'm impressed that you we're able to teach that Yaldabaoth a thing or two! Anyway, I was sent by the dragon goddess to give you this key."
The rabbit handed the key to Akira.
"I'm also here to give you three Mirage cards, encased some of you missed out on befriending a Mirage." Henry placed three cards on the stone altar. He hoped out of the way as the statue's eyes started to glow.
Three cards started to float upwards until a flash of bright light, after the light was gone three Mirage appeared out of nowhere.

The first Mirage appeared like a UFO but with long jellyfish like yellow tentacles.
The second one is a blue Paladin Horses Mirage.
And last is a yellow Casper with spikes.
"Don't worry, they're harmless. They're just waiting for someone to choose one of them."
Akira nodded, "Well in that case, I go with the Paladin Horses."
"Excellent chose!"
[Paladin Horses joins Akira]
"Any more takers?" Henry ask.
Futaba raised her hand "I'll take the UFO Mirage!"
"Sure, go right ahead!"
[UFO Jellyfish joins Futaba]
"Guess it's down to our last Mirage, eh Ann?" Ryuji teased.
The quarter American girl rolled her eyes "Whatever, at least this one looks adorable."
[Spike Casper joins Ann]
"Whelp! That's all for now, I should head back to the sky palace, I hope to see you all there!" and with that, the pink rabbit vanished in a pink smoke.
"A weird encounter but looks like we're all set."
"What about Morgana he hasn't even tried to negotiate," Futaba said.
"Morgana?" Nah, ask puzzled "Does he has the same powers as you guys?"
"Well duh, of course, he does! He just likes to play kitty cat most of the time."
Nah narrowed her eyes at the orange haired girl, "So he's not a cat after all."
"Bingo!"
"She right, I'm not a cat and I can fight too, but not in this form. However these Lots have been pretty good so far in taking care of themselves agents the Mirage Predators. As for the whole negotiation thing going on, I'm waiting for the day I struck gold with a Mirage babe."
"I'm thinking it's going to be awhile until it comes to fruition." Futaba pointed out.
The blue eyed cat glared at Futaba, "Yeah will see. "
"Sorry I ask," Nah sweatdroped.
…
The Phantom thieves of hearts head back to the Main Hall.
Play Calamity's Advent (Emergency) - Fire Emblem Echos: Shadows of Valentia
Akira uses the key to open the main door and as soon as he does it. They heard a monsters roar, the same roar from the tunnel from before. Nah said it was the sound of a Wyvern and press that 'we should get out of here!'
Akira and company ran out through the door.
Outside they were greeted with an open deserted cemetery. It's still cloudy outside and it could possibly rain.
Haru spotted an old building from the distance, Nah said that it could be the monastery and ran up ahead. Haru called out to the younger girl but preceded to follow her anyway along with the rest of her group.
Nah stopped dead in her tracks when she felt a tremor. She flinched when she saw a thunder bolt hit the ground, a couple of yards away from her.
Something popped up from the ground it resembled an octopus but with multiple eyes. It was floating around in midair like it was swimming under water.
Just as the eight Persona users caught up to tend to Nah's side. A new Hostile risen up from the ground; it had a purple large muscular body, wearing a brown toga, its oval head is covered in a brown bag wrapped around in barbwire. And its hands and forearms is are encased in what it appeared to be oval shaped white pods with three orange crane polygon claws as its fingers.
Another new Hostile emerged but this one looked like an Iron Maiden but it wore a white mask and dragged around a sword lance. It had skeleton arms with a blue orbs as its elbow joints.
"Great, just great," Ryuji whipped out his steel pipe weapon, his friends are prepared to fight the new enemies as well.
Nah's fear had gripped her as she slowly backed away. Without looking both ways she bumped into the older female, Haru.
Haru place both hands on the Burnette's shoulders from behind, "Nah, do you know what these things are?"
Nah took a deep breath and shook her head "I-I don't know, but I've seen that octo creature in a book before. It is called a Mogall."
"What type of Mogall? A Shadows or a Mirage?" Haru ask, as she held on to the young girl.
"I'm not sure… but I read they once served an evil god. As for the other two, I think there with-"
"Watch out!" The pair snapped back to reality, they were meet with an Iron Maiden charged directly at them.
Akira sprung and fired his pistol at it the zombie maiden. The said maiden keep on charging, Haru and Nah moved out of the way.
The Iron Maiden swung its lance at Akira but he avoided it with a back flip. He then tosses out daggers to its white masked face, but it blocked it with its lance.
Akira gritted his teeth as the zombie maiden retaliates with a fire ball blast. He dogged the upcoming hazard by dodge roll to his right.
Ryuji took that moment to attack while it's was distracted. He hit the neck with using his steel pipe, the force of the blow causes the neck to bend sideways.
The Iron Maiden spun around wild with its lance but the blond teen blocked the upcoming attack.
Akira came rushing in and did jump round kick on its head, knocking the head off. The headless Maiden stumbled sideways, to its right, until tripping over.
Akira and Ryuji took the moment of their victory but it was short lived because two more enemies started to attack the whole group head on.
The Mogall swept down at Makoto, Ann, Yusuke, and Futaba which they dogged out of the way. The floating Mogall then spin around, with its tentacles flailing wildly near ground level like it was dancing.
"You wanna dance, eight eyes?" Morgana shape-shifted into his anthropomorphic self. On the surface he looked very strange: an anthropomorphic and biped form with a large head and eyes, where the collar turns into a yellow bandana in addition to gaining a utility belt. Morgana lacks any visible cat whiskers in this form.
He aimed carefully at the moving target "let's dance!" Morgana whipped out his slingshot and fired his shot.
Morgana hit one of the Mogall's eyes, which promptly stop its spin attack and screeched out in pain. The Mogall then summoned an orange barrier around itself and retaliated with a thunder spell agents the group.
The Phantom Thieves' worked to avoid the attack which lasted for 10sec. Ann and Ryuji got hit by one of the bolts but Futaba came rushing in and healed her and Ryuji.
After Ann was healed she summoned her Persona, Carmen. Futaba told her that the Mirage Mogall's barrier is weak to ice and so Carmen cast out an ice spell at the monster, its barrier was broken in the processes.
Ryuji was about to follow with his Persona, (Captain Kidd) but he looked to his right to see the bag head muscular gladiator looking monster jumped midair and extended out his arms skyward and down at Ryuji, Ann, and Futaba, which they jumped out of the way.
The Mirage Risen landed on the ground the long arms retraced back to the Mirage, it looked to see its first new target is Makoto and used its extendable arms to throw a punch at her.
Makoto quickly moved right to avoid the attack and dashed up to the brute. She dashed up and jumped to perform a jump kick at the enemy Mirage's head. The force of the kick case the Mirage to stumble backward. Makoto landed on her feet and perform a low kick sweep at the monster's legs, causing it fell backward on its back.
Meanwhile, in the battle, Akira, and Yusuke summoned their persona's to attack the derange octopus creature in the air but despite its one eye being blind it anticipated the personas every move and avoid their attacks.
The Mogall then repeated its spin attack down at the humans. It had occurred to Akira that he can hurt the eyes of the Mirage while it was spinning around. He loaded his pistol and fired at the eyes, the Mogall then spin towards the surprised Akira. He narrowly ducked the attack and got back up to see the monster stopped.
Six of Mogall's eyes became blind as it winces.
Back to Makoto's fight with the Mirage Risen. The wounded monsters cybernetic claws started to spin around like a blender and tried to throw a punch at her. But Makoto skillfully avoids each punch it throws at her. Then it was Makoto's turn, she uses her spiked brass knuckles and punches the Mirage right through its chest, blue liquid spurted out of the brute, she then twisted and pulled out of its chest.
The hulking Mirage Risen fell backward and exploded in purple smoke. Makoto sighed in relief that she manages to live through these kinds of situations. She spots to see the octopus creature and in a weakened state and ran up to joined with the rest of the group.
Now back to the last battle. Ann used her whip to hit the last monster eye. Mogall screeched as it is completely blind.
"All right! It's time for an all-out attack!" The Phantom thieves jumped up and hurled like a comet at the creature. Each comet hit the target but each attack was more devastating than the last.
After the all-out attack, the Mogall was decapitated and vaporized in purple smoke.
The Persona Users took a moment of their victory but it was short lived when Futaba alerted of more like them coming from the distances.
Eight more Mirage Risen and four more Iron Maidens and a new type of Mirage one that looked like a giant shield (?), the slowly hunched their way towards the Humans.
"Really?" Morgana whined. "At this point, we'll make a run for it rather then deal with more of these meat bags!"
Nah took a deep breath, she digs into her bag to pick up her dragon stone "No worries, I got this."
"Girl, don't be thinking about taking on things all by your-"Morgana's eyes shot open like saucer plates as he saw Nah slowly being covered by a giant flower. The rest of the group was in awe at the site.
The flower cracked open to reveal a giant lizard- no it's a velvet colored dragon, its green colored scales similar to a coral reef.
The dragon roared up into the havens, she flapped her wings and flew up.
Ryuji's jaw dropped "Nah's a freaking dragon!?"
Akira and company ignored Ryuji's outburst while they watch Nah few upwards to the sky with shock look in their faces.
Nah looked down while up in the sky; she targets the eight undead warriors and fired a powerful blast of energy at them.
The eight Persona Users all ducked and cover as the blast wiped out the enemies. The teens & Morgana got up as the dragon descended down on the ground, they have a brief look at the dragon.
Akira and the others shield their eyes as the dragon was then consumed by a bright light. The form of the dragon then changed back to the form of Nah.

Nah dusted off her white skirt and made an apologetic smile at the group.
"O.M.G that was Awesome! I didn't know you can do that," Futaba reacted in awe, she ran up to the dragon kid, gave her a big hug and blabbered words of a fan-girl.
Nah, sweat drop in response, "Um, do you mind letting me go?"
Haru, with Morgana watched Futaba hug Nah, like she finally found her long lost little sister. The half French girl cough at one hand and said "Heh, looks like Morgana isn't the only one that can shapeshift," Haru grinned at Morgana.
"Yeah," Morgana heartily laughed, "But can she transform into a car?" he smirked.
"My sensitive ears can hear that, Morgana and no I can't transform into a contraption you call a car!" Morgana flinched at Nah's loud retort.
"Wait a minute... can Morgana transformed into a... contraption?"
"Well yea, only as a armored van," Futaba said as she held on to the younger girl's shoulders.
Ann, Ryuji, Yusuke and Makoto watch Haru and Futaba's conversation with the dragon shapeshifter "Nan wasn't kidding around when she said that she's a dragon the first time we meet her," Yusuke said.
"Indeed! Well looks like you were wrong Ryuji," Ann nudged at him.
"Yeah well it doesn't change the fact that she can still eat us," Ryuji said tiredly. Ann, Makoto, and Morgana rolled his eyes at him.
"Implying that people are incapable of doing the same thing to each other," Yusuke mused.
"Hey that's going too far!" the masked blond retorted.

Akira looked in the sky, it started to rain hard. He then clutched his head with his right hand; the ringing in his head was starting to get louder, every time.
"Stay out of this Akira, don't even try!"
Akira felt like he was about to pass out, but then Ayaha's voice, the ringing had all stopped and he was back to normal. He looked back at his friends who have been talking with Nah.
He clenched his fist, he made a promise (mostly to himself) that he would rescue Aya. But he can't figure out if the Mirage is just playing tricks on him or maybe it could be Ayaha's Shadow that's messing with his head somehow.
Akira looked out in the monastery in the distance, "Guys, it's raining. We should head over there pronto."
They all complied with their leader and head towards the Monastery.
