|  No matter how much it hurt... Even if she cried... Even if they could not compromise... They had to push on. If it was going to happen, she had to move forward. If they didn't understand, then Tomoe would have to try and make them. She wanted to be on even terms, and perhaps that still could be achieved. However, first they needed to make sure that they could not stop them. After all, a world ruled by one is hardly a world if only one person shapes it. It's just a delusion for one. Tomoe didn't believe in that. Her whole "fake" life she always had it fairly, and never took anything from others. Maybe those feelings and beliefs were planted by Ahura, and fake and worth no more than the dirt she stood on; but they were hers. She took them, and she would keep them with pride. It made who she was, and what she is is a person who simply cannot leave things half-done, even if she messed up. She would just have to pick up the pieces, and find a way. She had a reason to fight this time, and she couldn't back out. Not Now... | |

- Key & Information:
Any questions, ask me before making a move.
If you have more than Four members, only four members will participate at a time. Those who are starting, choose a yellow star as a starting point. Through battle, if one of your members are defeated, this fifth player can join the fight in their place (starting at one of the stars). All players who participate, even if they are back up, will receive EXP for defeated enemies.
Purple Stars = Shadows
Red Stars = King level threats
Orange squares = Fire - Agi skills have a 20% boost while Bufu skills are lowered by 20%. Ices skills used on these squares will cause the Fire to cease and turn green.
Brown squares = Rugged Earth. Tera skills have a 20% boost while Garu skills are lowered by 20%. If there is a dark gash in the square, you cannot cross the area. This is the split in the Earth caused by the First King during his fight with Yatagarasu.
Player vs Shadow Skirmish: A skirmish battle is quite different from the rest. It takes place on a battlefield map where players move individually. Each player can move a certain amount of squares depending on the amount of points they have in their luck stat. For every 10 luck stat you can move a square. However, that's only for the first 50 points you have in your luck stat. After that point, it's every 20 points in your luck stat you can move a square.
To attack an enemy on the battlefield, you have to land on a square next to their own. Depending on the terrain can determine if any skills are strengthened or weakened. If you initiate the attack, you'll automatically be the first to attack, but the enemy also gets an attack back. Once that phase of combat is over, your turn will end.
So to keep it simple, each of your turns you can move and attack once. It doesn't need to be in that specific order. For example: if you're already next to an opponent you can attack them and then move.
If you attack an opponent and one of your teammates are adjacent to that same opponent, you both can attack them back to back. If your entire team surrounds an opponent, all of you attack back to back with the final teammate initiating an all out attack for heavy damage. Take advantage of this team mechanic to win this battle. Enemies can also do this, so beware.
If you're hit by your weakness and downed, you'll only miss your chance to attack the enemy back. After that turn, you'll be standing back up again.
Your starting area on the map will be the stars. Everyone will pick a single star to begin at, so your first post you can choose a star you're starting at and post your movement. You can only travel on open areas, so areas where trees are placed are barricades you cannot travel through. Also recovery skills such as media and mediarama can only be used on your allies if you're on an adjacent square to them (unless you have remote heal). It does not take an attack post, so you can heal yourself or allies and then attack still. The same goes for buff and debuff skills.
When it comes to analyze skills, you can use this any time on the battlefield and scan any enemy, no matter the location. Auto-skills will only be applicable the first three combat phases of the battle. Meaning the first three actual battle posts you have against a specific opponent. After that, they deactivate.
- Enemies Encountered:
Far Left Shadow Star = Tsurinai Naito
Left Shadow Star = Cole Barbados
Center Shadow Star = Destiny Enduex
Right Shadow Star = Marah B.
Far Right Shadow Star = Lorielle Rutherford
Left King Star = The Second King
Right King Star = Guren

| How could so much have happened while they were gone? Upon arriving back in the tower courtyard, Destiny had been greeted by the sight of someone she never thought she'd seen again. After her initial confusion and wariness, there'd been a lot of hugs and information passed between herself and Ruo. Apparently there'd been quite the battle back here, and now the others had gone off to try and put an end to all of this once and for all. Se wasn't pleased about having to rush back into a fight so soon, but so be it. After leaving both Ms. Shephard and the other student with Ruo, Destiny hurried on ahead to the place Ruo had told her to go. Catching sight of a certain redhead, Destiny came to a stop not far from him and took a second to catch her breath. "Sorry I'm late." she huffed slightly, scanning the field in front of her. So this was who they were supposed to go up against...? ...Goodness there were a lot... Stepping around Kahn, Destiny folded her hands and called Calliope back to her side. Surveying the situation, the persona pulled the paintbrush from behind her ear and began to write, the Greek words appearing as silver streaks in the air, which instantly broke apart and flew towards Destiny and her allies. Her protection spell cast, Destiny looked first at Kahn, then down at Tomoe, sending a silent prayer that everything would go according to plan. - Stats:

| Tomoe looked out at the field. She left Kahn together, and soon she would see Destiny show up, which was nice. She frowned at it all, and took a moment to glance at the field, seeing two faces she didn't completely recognize. Though she saw a familiar face close to the other two, and would run towards the team, her Persona checking out the familiar body of Naito. Only of course she knew it was a fake at this point. That done, Gwenhwyfar appeared and Viviane took her place. Using an ability she had, she looked through the eyes of Hibiki's, to see that their conflict had already begun. Was this really what it was going to come down to? She wasn't afraid to fight if she actually had to, but that didn't mean they had to keep going with it. If they killed more Kings, then it would simply be blood shed. They had to try something else. - Tomoe Stats/Action:

Gwenhwyfar uses Auto-Analysis on Shadow-Type Naito.
From then, after moving 14 spaces straight left from the star second to the right leaving a square between me and the right of Kahn's star, switches to Viviane and uses Remote View to communicate.
Currently has all Personas available.

| Kahn looked at them, Aburai wasn't kidding there were a lot, and he looked over to see their leaders. The second king and a man he had encountered before. Kahn grimaced a bit as the memories of a very memorable defeat surfaced. He was wondering where Destiny was, and then she turned up. "Welcome back, glad to have you. Things are pretty serious as you can tell. We're the front line so we get to deal with these guys. 7 on 3 isn't exactly fair odds, but we have something going for us that they don't know about yet. So let's be sure to give them a surprise." He said offering Destiny a smile and nod. When Tomoe spoke up, the red haired young man nodded his head. He could understand that, and he would be happy to follow those orders. As Tomoe joined them, Kahn gave her a soft smile. "Well said, don't worry, I'll avoid fighting the kings if it appears we can reason with them. The shadows, I'll be sure not to destory them too badly. One thing for you both to know is that man." He said pointing to Guren, "I've fought him before, he's powerful and quite tactical. So we need to be careful around him, he will be a challenge." His eyes then shifted to the shadow in front of them, "I'm going to attack that one first, we need to even the odds. Let's stick together and watch each other's backs. if I recall correctly, my new power might be able to disable it rather quickly." The red haired young man said before bounding toward the Naito impostor. But then he took a step to the side, moving around to fake Naito's left flank. "Hate to do this to you after you helped us in the beginning, but I need your help in another way. We need parts to get the fourth king back, and I'm afraid your the closest thing that gives parts. Sorry." He said before Raguel appeared and swung its blade, glowing bright green into the impostor's stomach, and because Kahn was unsure how much these things could take he would hold enough force back to avoid completely eviscerating it, but he still swung with enough power to at the very least disable it. - Stats::

| (Let me post my movement, because I somehow forgot that there is a map now) - Movement:
I am the second star from the left. I ran straight toward the first purple star (9 squares unless I miscounted), then one to the left, and then one to the right. That puts my on the left hand side of the first purple star.

With the sudden attack, the Shadow staggered backwards and held his ground. He was honestly surprised at the sudden change in strength. The Shadow self would summon its blade and scratch the back of its head. "Oh ho ho, where did you get this kind of strength, Azame-chan? This is not in our records, you know? Will you tell me, so I can take it away?" The Shadow self grunted before taking an stance. To reciprocate Azame's attack, he throw out a number of slashes towards the red head, even though his own speed was significantly lower to some degree.

- Movement:
Naito moves 9 paces upward
Cole star is to the right of Naito's
Second King moves upward and closer to the brown squares
Guren moves downward
Shadow Destiny follows Guren, and moves downward, being the closest Star to his own.
Shadow Marah moves downward aswell, making him the further northeastern Star on the map
Shadow Lorielle remains in the fire encased area
Shadow Naito sucked his teeth at how his attacks missed so easily. His data showed him that he should have been far superior than Azame in terms of speed, so why couldn't he hit him? Was his data outdated? This was not forseen. Infact, the false Tsurinai sheathed his blade and turned tail to run. Using a sudden burst of speed, he'd vanish in a gust of wind, making sure he created some distance between himself and the red head, while making it over to his comrade. "Something certainly is wrong here. This doesn't make any sense... It would be imperative to attack as a team." The Shadow scratched its head in complete confusion. This only further proved these were machines, and not true shadows. Basing everything off data, when it came to something that went against it, it left them completely baffled. Considering Tsurinai Naito rarely ran from battle, it only further proved this Shadow was just using his appearance and abilities.

Cost: 6 SP
Type of Damage: N/A
Description: A skill similar to Sukukaja, except more precise and used for combat majorly. Once within ten meters of an opponent, this skill can be used. It is not an attack, but instead allows the user to close the distance between themselves and a single opponent. Using their opponent's blind spots and a sudden burst of speed, the user can propel themselves behind an opponent within just a few seconds. For PvS dungeon crawling, this allows the user to move double the amount of spaces they usually would when actually used.
Shadow Cole had moved downward towards Shadow Naito so they were side by side. Summoning Reverse Gatsuga, he'd heal Naito before turning towards the opposition. "You may be right. Teaming up would be the better option here for sure. It seems as though we need to update our records." If that wasn't already obvious, of course. Luckily, they had Marah B across the field that would be able to scan each and every one of them. With this updated information sent to the team, especially Guren, it would certainly help when it came in terms to taking them down.

| Catching sight of the woman approaching her, Destiny gave Tomoe a nod in greeting before looking back towards Kahn. At the moment, that Naito look-alike seemed to be fairing poorly against Kahn. As much as she liked to think the ginger was fine on his own, it would probably be best to hurry over to him and remain on standby in case he got hurt. Destiny looked towards Tomoe and held up a hand in pause. Calliope immediately redrew her letters, this time casting them onto Tomoe. "That should make you a little more resilient for a bit." she commented lightly before making a "come on" gesture, hurrying towards the redhead. She came to a stop at his side before glancing back, making sure Tomoe was still with her. - Stats:

| "...." Kogami being dead...? No, she didn't want to believe that. She didn't want to believe that she did nothing to save her friend. And yet, it made sense if they did. Jin was not wrong, if this was going the way he said, then it would make a lot of sense if they had killed him. And if they did.....no. "No, even if so, we can't let them get to us. We have to push forward. If Jin is right, then we cannot fight. Not now." she said to everyone, as she ran to back up destiny, and moved to analyze the friend next to the Shadow of Naito.- Movement:

| Kahn deftly dodged out of the way of the attacks rather swiftly, before watching Naito vanish in a guest of wind. The red haired young man watched another shadow type appear to heal him, and he felt as though something was analyzing him. He glanced over toward Marah, and then gesturing toward him with his head as the other two came up. "Pretty sure that one can analyze." The young man said through the telepathic link to Destiny and Tomoe to just keep things quiet and their communication silent. When Jin updated them about the whole sacrificial altar business and how this tower was literally a place where people were supposed to die...the young man frowned. Before responding back to Jin and everyone that was linked up. "It reminds me about the Fourth King, what she told us...it's like she knew even if we didn't defeat her that she would lose her purpose and likely die. If when Angra Mainyu comes down, everyone dies it is incredibly likely that the kings die as well. Yachiru seems like the smart sort of man that would not like any loose ends, he might have promised them something in the next world, but in reality he is duping them. He's pulled a sheet over our faces, if the kings beat us they die in the end. If we beat them, we've empowered Angra Mainyu. Either way they die, and there is no loose ends." Kahn communicated telepathically, "Ask them the reason they're fighting, and then convince them that they're either being duped by Yachiru or that we're trying to make amends in regards to the Fourth King's death. Avoid fighting them if you can, and if you cannot convince them then avoid killing them. They might come back to bother us, but they might not. Regardless, death is worse than maiming, hold back enough to not take their lives. I don't want to kill more people, and it doesn't help us. Find out their reasoning for fighting, and try to get them a reason for them want to live and continue living." The red haired man said telepathically before turning his attention back towards the battle. They were still outnumbered, but not for long! The red haired young man, looked back at both of the women behind him. "I'm going ahead, I nailed the fake Naito really good, he's on the ropes so I'm going to reduce their numbers by one." The young man said switching Personas to Power, and he ran up toward the fake Naito. "Sorry, but you won't be able to use that new data you just got. I'm afraid that I need you to stay down." The red haired young man said as Power came forth and unleashed a torrent of electricity at Naito to disable the impostor. - Stats:

"Systems shutting down.. shutting do-.." Shadow Naito would explode into machine parts before falling down into a black sludge. This only confirmed that these were the machines Soki spoke of.
