Mio's Hospital

Gabishi was sent flying in an instant. Luckily he was still alive. He can't believe that just an attack like that could be so painful to him. It seems like it was just a normal ice attack in Gabishi's eyes. But he can't do anything even thought he protected himself from it. He look at the roof of the room that he was laying. He somehow remembered when he saw Genji and Naito defeating his Shadow. They did it in such great teamwork. Gabishi slowly raised his head still feeling the pain in his body. Even thought this was his first fight, he can't humiliate himself in front his senior and juniors. He slowly raised his body, blood was coming from his nose. He lick it with his tongue before raising both of his fist. Sorry Senpai, if i did rest a little... Gabishi said with a smirk on his face.

"Aww are you okay, Gabishi~? You seem injured, Eheheh!" The Shadow mocked the Persona-User as she placed a cold hand on her side. "Ignoring my most gracious offer of letting you live is so foolhardy. No matter, if you wish to have a cold death along with my double, then so be it!" Shadow Mio lifted a hand to her lips and gave a cruel laugh that echoed throughout the hallways. When the real Mio stepped forward to speak to the Shadow, the frozen woman would turn to look towards her with a look of pure contempt. "Why do I want you so badly? Isn't it obvious? You don't deserve to live, you bitch! Being connected to someone such as you that goes through life on a whim without recognizing the pain she had caused... It's sickening, and I'll hold no part of it! I'm what you truly are, and if you don't wish to accept that then fine. I'll take your life for my own." The Shadow would lift a hand and brush back a strand of hair while performing her next skill. A shockwave of power would shoot out over Genji and Gabishi, attempting to panic them both, and thus cause them to be unable to summon their Personas. Following up the attack, the Shadow would blow another kiss towards the two, casting another wave of mabufu into them both. Once her attacks were complete, she'd regain her stance and give a small laugh beneath her breath. The Shadow was obviously in her comfort zone, as she saw the two before her as nothing but child's play. After all, they were nothing but puppets under Mio's will. Nothing more or less.

Mio watched as Gabishi was struck by that sudden attack that her other had summoned laughing at them as if this were some kind of game. Her shadow explained that the reason she wanted Mio dead was because she didn't deserve to live, though she's tried her best to live her life to the fullest, they say that she still had a part of her that was still looking back to the past. Placing her hand on her chest she can feel an unsteady beat.

"Have I really been, causing pain?"

She asked herself in a soft tone, looking down herself she could only think again of just letting herself at the mercy of this monster. Allowing both Gabishi and Genji to leave in one piece and put her fathers pain to rest. But she realized that she didn't want to, even though it was a selfish request she didn't think she needed to die for it.

"Ok then I've made up my mind! I don't wanna die but if I really have hurt those around me then I would rather help them, by continuing to live and standby them."

She said toward the large witch who continued to act the one in charge and yet Mio understood what she felt in a weird way. Though it was the wrong way to do it, she believes that she in herself is trying to help leaving her father to have time alone and trying to find her own path was the reason she left home.

Gabishi focused at the Shadow with both his hands raised. There was still some blood under is nose but he didn't cared about it. He was so into the fight that he didn't cared about the others, but he have to cold down his head and do some teamwork if he want to win this fight. Maybe i'm injured, but it will take much more if you want me to go down…. Gabishi said with a smirk on his face while looking at the shadow. Gabishi waited for the right time for avoid the ice attack, but he failed. Luckily this time he wasn't knock off, he was still standing but this time some blood was coming from his head. Gabishi just smirked about it since it was getting more intense. Gabishi heard the scream from Genji that ordered him to heal. Gabishi was a little upset since he didn't wanted, but since Genji have more experience in this things Gabishi decided to do as he said. Once again a blue card was flying on top of Gabishi's head before he punched. Maahes made a huge roar before healing both Gabishi and Genji. He quickly raised up his hands once again, waiting for the next move.

Spoiler:

The Shadow took the new attack on without worry, and would issue out another laugh. Once again, it seemed as though the attack was rather ineffective. "Haha! Are you serious? Wow, what a one trick pony! How sad!" The Shadow continued its laugh before the yellow hues that doubled as eyes would focus upon its double. Mio's sudden resolve caused the Shadow to scoff and take a few steps back. What sort of nonsense was she spouting here? Who the hell did she think she was to say such words?! It obviously infuriated the Shadow to no end. "Enough games. This ends here!" Raising its hand, the Shadow would once again send out the shockwave of power upon Kano Genji and his partner Ogami Gabishi, attempting to block off their access to their Personas. Immediately after, the Shadow would let out a shriek, casting mabufu upon both Persona-Users once again. The damage was small, as before, but more than enough for Gabishi. Once the attacks were over, the red aura would slowly vanish from the battlefield, as it was technically the end of her last turn in battle. Now the woman stood defenseless, as she swayed back and forth with the look of complete contempt upon her face. For Mio to come to a sudden realization bothered the Shadow to no end. This was its chance for redemption, and the opponent was getting nothing but life lessons out of it. That was okay, however. Once the Persona-Users were dead and dealt with, the doppelganger would be the only one left. Mio would not leave the hospital alive. Like many of those before her that had come across their Shadow, she would be devoured completely.

"Your right! This does end here!"

Mio shouted toward her evil double, one that saw Mio as the reason for her birth and reason that she must die. Causing sadness and death with every step she takes, only thinking about herself along the way. The true Mio believe in the words of her double both in her ideas and reasons, though her doubles way of doing things was one she didn't like. Like her resolve, she wishes to help those she's hurt by helping them get through their pain, which encouraged her more and now her heart not beated more through her emotions of depression and loneliness but love for her friends and family and the want to help them.

"I chosen not to run anymore. I understand why papa told me to get stronger, to make myself stronger and beating you up!"

She said loudly puffing out her chest, flipping her hair over her shoulder. She placed her left foot forward, and stood with her left side toward her double. Clenching her fists she left her hands by her sides awaiting for what the monster would do next. With her new her heart on a new path and her mind straightened has gotten her stronger then before, not afraid to stand for herself to herself anymore.

"Lets go! Genji! Gabishi!"

She shouted toward them without turning her head around.

Once again, Gabishi was sent flying through the room. That ice attack was a pain for Gabishi, since he have a weakness towards it. He was laying down once again on the floor. Blood was coming from his nose, mouth and other parts of his body. He was suffering, and this was to much for him but he can't give up, it wasn't is style to leave a fight like that. Once again he try to get up really slowly while being healed by Genji. When he got up he almost fall over, it was going to hit his limit but still there was a big smirk on Gabishi's face. He was totally enjoying this fight, but he have to attack back any moment now or the three of them will be totally dead.

Spoiler:

The Shadow would let out an ice cold yawn, as her glowing yellow hues stared down upon her double and the Persona-Users. "How dull. How boring! Are you both so simple that I can simply do this all day, and you'll get no where near close to defeating me? Perhaps you all should learn your place, Ahaha!" Shadow Mio gave out a laugh as the familiar red aura once again reappeared. She seemed to be content on forming the barrier every so often in this battle of endurance. Unlike the Persona-Users, the Shadow had a rather large pool of both health and skill points. She was no where near her limit with either of them. Perhaps a well thought out plan would help more than continuing the same strategy over and over until she hit them with tentrafoo. After all, if they couldn't overcome her strength then they'd never be able to defeat the holder of the second clue. Their journey would end early. Without wasting anytime, the Shadow would lift to fingers to her lips and blow another kiss towards the duo. Once again, she performed her signature mabufu to cause damage to both members of the party. "It'll be a cold day in hell before I lose to the likes of humans. Especially ones who can't see they died fifteen minutes ago. Get out of my sight already!" With the appearance of Mio's resolve, the Shadow was obviously becoming more and more agitated. How would one feel when the one person they wished to hurt more than anything began to grow stronger? It was nerve racking. Of course, all would be well once these three were out of the way. Then the Shadow would be able to be its own being. Its own enigma without needing to cling to the hunk of flesh that was Kiyomi Mio. It was so close to its freedom t could almost feel it touching its cold dead skin.

Shadow Mio:

Originally Tsurinai Naito wanted no part in assisting in Kiyomi Mio's awakening. After all, he hardly knew the first year and had nothing invested in her to wish for her safety. For someone like Naito, he did nothing without reason. Why would he endanger his life to save someone he didn't particularly need? That was the major difference between him and Kano Genji. Everyone he had no investment in was trash, while the rest were pawns. Genji believed everyone had the potential to get along on friendly terms, and put himself in harm's way to protect them. Ogami Gabishi was the same way. If Tsurinai didn't have a rather high opinion on the both of them, there was a chance he would have considered showing up to aide them. After all, perhaps if he helped them here, they would be more inclined to help him realize a real world Hierarchy in the future. There was a chance Gabishi would join him quite easily with the possibility of a world without violence. Though Kano Genji was a different story entirely... Regardless of such thoughts, Naito found himself standing before the crimson door within Kizuna Academy. It would lead him into Limbo where Kiyomi was located. Making sure to make sure the hallways were empty and no cameras were on the door, he'd walk through the doorway and would be teleported into the alternate world. As Tsurinai was blinded by this bright crimson light, he couldn't help but think if he had made any real progress towards solving the mystery behind this Limbo incident. The one clue they had obtained was rather useless. They needed far more information if they were to locate who was behind the disappearances, and why they were doing it. But honestly, Tsurinai didn't care about the reason. He just wanted them out of his way. Such insolence needed to be punished, though Naito was never thrown into Limbo by the culprit himself. No, he had awakened to his Persona in a different way entirely.

Walking into the dark, frozen hallway with his usual black coat, boots, and trousers, the silver haired student would narrow his eyes at the scene. Such an environment already told him about what he would most likely be running into here. A Shadow that was aligned with ice, most likely, meaning alittle heat would help. Too bad he didn't have such abilities under his belt, nor did he really need them. Extending his right hand, his blade and scabbard would materialize in a flash of light. Gripping his soul bound weapon, he'd look down towards the black sheath with narrowed eyes. Ah, his Sugari No Ontachi. A weapon forged from his very soul. It had a special meaning to him. It was a sword which represented the regalia of Japan and only taken when a new emperor ascended to the throne. Quite fitting for someone such as Tsurinai Naito, especially with a Persona that took the form of the first Emperor of Japan. "Heh, very well. I suppose I should go assist the soldiers. If a King's knights will not act, then he has no choice but to act himself." The young male gave a thin smile as he took a confident stride down the hallway and towards the sound of battle. He didn't run, nor did he jog. He simply walked and listened to the voices that echoed throughout the eerie hospital. It reminded him of his sister back at home. Usually she was always in the hospital because of her illness, which was the cause of him dying his eye silver in the first place. No one knew that, though.. No would ever know it.

Turning a corner, Tsurinai would come across the battlefield. Looking towards Gabishi, he saw the male was down and hurting, but still conscious. Kano Genji seemed rather fine, more or less. Mio was still alive, so that was.. okay. And then finally, Naito's eyes came upon the Shadow. It took the form of a woman.. Perhaps Yukionna? Or whatever the frost spirit was called. He had no interest in such myths and folklore. Focusing upon his inner strength, the tarot card of the Emperor slowly floated down before his face. His silver eyes reflected the feint blue glow coming from the card, as it hovered before him slowly. With a sudden grasp with his left hand, he'd crush the card into a shower of light and summon Jinmu-tennō to his side. His Persona appeared in a blaze of glory, as it stood beside its master and looked towards the Shadow. Tsurinai gave a thin smirk, as he tilted his head forward and pointed towards the Shadow. Jinmu-tennō, eradicate that piece of trash!" Once receiving its order, the Persona's eyes would glow a feint blue as it shot forward, past Genji, Gabishi and Mio, and straight for the Shadow. With a quick assault, it'd draw it's blade and slash through the Shadow twice before vanishing back within Tsurinai Naito's subconscious. During this time, Naito had made his way beside Kano and Ogami on the battlefield. He didn't look towards them, but would begin to speak. "So you two seem to be having some trouble here. Ogami, pull yourself together. If you can handle the cold chill, then block her attacks. Wait until she's vulnerable and burn her to a crisp. It's quite simple." Naito spoke with his usual blunt tone as he tilted his head to the side and stared at the Shadow. "Well then, allow me to assist you here. This won't last long at all, it seems rather pathetic. Not worth the time of day, just like a piece of trash." How cruel he was, especially since he was speaking about Mio's inner self here.

Tsurinai Stats:

Yet again both her senpai's attacked her shadow self as Mio stood before it, angering it more then it was before. Her shadow wanted nothing to do but eradicate the real version of her and finish off the rest of her friends who decided to help in her time of need. She could do nothing but anger the shadow more and more with her reason to continue living instead of dying like she wanted to. And with that another voice can be heard from behind her, one familiar and yet she couldn't place her finger on it. Turning her head slowly, something sped pass her eyes and she can see the one called Naito was standing between both Genji and Gabishi.

"Glad to have you."

Mio said in a happy tone, as she looked his way before looking back toward her shadow self and deciding on whether it was the right choice to face it head on. Her powers were out of this world but for some reason Mio wasn't scared of getting hit, but more wanting to hit the shadow, as if hitting herself. She decided to wait it out a bit more before doing her own thing, Genji did say to leave it in his hands and she had to do was believe it was her. Though the shadow looked like a evil witch, she can see some resemblance though not physically but emotionally.

Gabishi was breathing kinda heavily, maybe he should stop on the smoking to have more stamina. Suddenly he saw another persona striking the shadow. At first he was surprised by that but he have already saw that persona somewhere else. He saw his back for a moment and saw a silver haired man, Gabishi just smirk to when he saw that face and quickly turn his head back to the shadow. Yo Naito... Gabishi said to Naito while concentrating to the shadow. He was kinda angry and happy too. Angry because he felt really weak right now, and happy since someone else was going to teach him how to bring down a shadow.

Once again he was strike by the ice attack, but this time he didn't fell down since he didn't wanted to be laughed by Naito. He was trying to catch his breath while listening to Naito instruction. Even thought he didn't like to follow any order, he have too or he will be dead in just seconds. He quickly raised both of his arms to cover his face going to block the next attack from the shadow.

Spoiler:

So the Shadow was hit with a surprise attack. How annoying. It wasn't the fact the attack did some adequate damage that bothered it. It was the fact another human was getting involved in its affairs of becoming independent. How dare this pale skinned loser intrude on her independence day? It almost looked like he had never seen the light of day once in his short and minuscule life! Whatever the case, Shadow Mio would take the sudden attack but hold its ground before brushing her hair to the side and taking a step forward. "Another for the slaughter?! This is getting old, you filthy kids!" The Shadow stood firm, showing it still had plenty of fight in it her. How weak could they be? Snapping her fingers, a different wave of energy would shower the Persona-users. This time it was a pink aura, filled with hearts, and held a lovely aroma. She was attempting to bring them to her side now. The Shadow had performed a simple "Sexy Dance" skill as she switched her hips back and forth. Instead of doing her usual mabufu, she'd once again perform another skill. Placing two fingers against her lips, she'd blow a kiss and send out the familiar shockwave that was attempting to cut the Persona-User's off from their Personas. Once her skills were performed, the Shadow would loom over the Persona-Users with a cold gaze. This battle of endurance was getting old. They'd continue to heal if she didn't either bring them over to her side, or simply cut them off from their abilities. Regardless, one way or another, she would reclaim her freedom.
