Evening
The Dark Hour was steadily approaching as I looked up to the sky. (I was taking a walk.) There's a full moon tonight. Kinda eerie when it's 11:59 pm.
Dark Hour
Two words: HOLY CRAP.
I swear I just saw the biggest Shadow I've ever encountered! Lemme tell you what happened:
So, as stated earlier, I was just taking a walk, right? Well, when it turned to the Dark Hour, something just didn't feel right. I heard a strange writhing noise behind me...
It was a Shadow that seemed at least twice my size. It had a Big blue mask for a face and multiple black gooey arms. I didn't like the look of it, so I called home base and ran. Here's how the conversation went:
Mitsuru Kirijo: (on tranceiver) Command room. ...Is that you, Akihiko?
Me: You're not gonna believe this...! This thing is huge! Unfortunately, I don't have time to talk... It's chasing me... I wanted to let you guys know. I'm almost there.
I think that just before I hung up, I heard Takeba say "Does that mean... he's bringing that thing here?!" Unfortunately, she was right. I had to. I couldn't face that thing by myself.
I finally outran the thing by at least a mile and made it to the dorm. Here's the next conversation:
Mitsuru: Akihiko!
Me: Agh...!
Yukari: Senpai!?
Me: I'm alright. Get ready to be surprised... It'll be here any second.
Mitsuru: This is no time to joke around!
Ikutsuki: It's one of them, Akihiko?
Me: Yes, but not an ordinary one--
[The ground suddenly shakes.]
Yukari: Ahh!! What the...!? ...You've gotta be kidding me!
[Mitsuru pulled out a gun(evoker).]
Mitsuru: Mr. Chairman, please head for the command room! Takeba, go upstairs
and wake him up! Then, escape out the back.
Yukari: But, what about you two?
Mitsuru: We'll stop it here. You led it to us, Akihiko, so I'm afraid you'll
have to fight.
Me: [glares] Like I had a choice! What are you waiting for, Yukari? Go!
Yukari: I-I'm going!
So, Takeba ran off to the second floor to get the new guy, Arisato up and outta there while Kirijo and I fought the shadow. However, the one that came up to the front wasn't the one I saw before. I can't remember just what the one Kirijo and I fought looked like, though. Mitsuru thought it her duty to warn Takeba.
Mitsuru: Takeba, do you read me!?
Yukari: (on transceiver) Y-Yes! I hear you!
Mitsuru: Be careful! There's more than one enemy! The one
we're fighting isn't the one Akihiko saw!
Yukari: (on transceiver) What!?
And then communications were cut off. After Kirijo and I beat that shadow, we headed over to the command room to check on Ikutsuki. When we got there, we saw Takeba and Arisato on the roof, facing the shadow I had seen initially. I witnessed Yukari finally using her Persona, Io, to fight that thing. However, her efforts weren't that fruitful. Mitsuru and I were about to head out to help when Ikutsuki got our attention.
That's when we saw Arisato. Holding Yukari's evoker up to his head. Muttering something. And firing.
Oddly enough, the guy had a smirk on his face. Smoke began to rise and we heard a voice that sounded kinda metallic. It was coming from Arisato's... Persona.
Persona: Thou art I, and I am thou. From the sea of thy soul, I cometh. I am Orpheus, master of strings.
It then let out a huge roar. But, it didn't do much else. At that moment, Arisato cringed and keeled over in pain, screaming and holding his head. Orpheus began to wriggle around erratically and was breaking apart. It was first beheaded and then ripped completly apart by a much larger Persona with, seemingly, coffins for wings, from the inside. Using its blade, it made quick work of the Shadow.
After that, the Persona reverted to Orpheus. After Arisato defeated some lesser shadows with a shortsword (apparently given to him by Takeba) he collapsed. He was still unconscious by the time Kirijo and I arrived at the rooftop. Mitsuru drove him to the Hospital on her motorcycle.
I hope he's gonna be okay...
