Gabishi's Boxing Ring

When Naito was hit by the severe attack, he'd let out a pain filled growl while using his scabbard to keep his footing. "Alright, I deserved that." The superiority complex student would give a smirk before being bathed in a green wave of energy. Though he felt better, he looked towards Genji with a twitching eye. "Attack! Forget about me, I can handle myself!" Not even a thanks, as Naito raised a hand and called forth his tarot card. As it floated down before him, he'd clench his grip and shatter it like glass. In that moment his signature Persona would rip forth. However, instead of going in for an attack, it'd raise its hand and call upon the power of the storms. Soon, a blast of lightning would hit the :ion that seemed to be charging for something. Narrowing his eyes, Naito would be on high alert. "Something isn't right.. It's preparing for something." The boy spoke under his breath as his Persona vanished back within his subconscious. Obviously something was to happen soon. Hopefully it would be destroyed before then.

Naito:

Gabishi was still looking at Naito and Genji that where fighting the big lion. The battle was intense that Gabishi felt a chill all around his body. Somehow he was enjoying watching the fight, but he was still upset that he can't help his friends with the fight. Gabishi quickly hear a loud noise that Naito made, he quickly look at him hoping that he was ok. Luckily Genji somehow health him with his angel thing. Gabishi quickly look back at Naito as he decided to attack the shadow lion once again, but this time it was an electric attack. Gabishi can't believe at what he was looking at. Gabishi felt powerless since he can't do anything, he didn't move an inch from where he was standing.

Even through the attack, the massive Shadow continued to charge whatever attack it was preparing for the two Persona-Users. A dark miasma began to coat the Shadow's body as the last stages of the charging period was about to end. The demonic Lion would look towards Genji with an intense stare as an unruly grin came across its face. Whatever the Shadow was planning, it was coming through. The results? Devastating to say the least. Their hope of victory would soon be over soon enough.

Shadow Gabishi:

Calling forth his Persona once again, Naito would crush the card with a grip and watch the First Emperor do its bidding once again. As it emerged from his subconscious, it called upon the power of the storms once more, and rained lightning down upon the Shadow before it once again vanished from sight. Hopefully that would be the last attack Naito needed to perform to finish the troublesome Shadow off where it stood. Certainly if it would have continued to keep attacking back to back, the battle would have most likely had a different outcome. Most likely Naito would have fallen in combat, or Genji. Perhaps even both of them. It was obvious the Shadows were getting stronger, but Naito felt a bit stronger himself after the confrontation. It seemed his Persona had even leveled up during combat, which was what he was working all yesterday towards when he ventured into Limbo alone to train.

Naito:

Gabishi was still looking at both Genji and Naito that where still attacking the giant lion. Gabishi can't keep his eyes off the battle as it was reaching the climax point. Gabishi was really enjoying this fight but he didn't want that both Naito and Genji going to die because of him. Maybe he was a strong fighter, but in that world he was just a weakling. He need to be stronger if he wanted to help them in a fight like this. Gabishi look back at the shadow that was preparing a big attack, but both Naito and Genji where attacking back. This fight was so intense that made Gabishi's more pumping.

With the final hit struck before the beast could unleash its devastating attack, the Shadow would let out a final grow before falling face first into the ground. The dark miasma that coated its body would vanish and disperse, leaving the Shadow in its previous form that resembled Hikuro. The Shadow would push itself to its feet before stumbling back to the ropes of the ring and giving a laugh. "Hah..So maybe I was the weak one after all." The Shadow spat out the words and looked towards his doppelganger with an indifferent look. "You should have let me kill you.." Were those the best lines it could say after finally being defeated? What a troublesome case this Shadow truly was.

With the Shadow finally calmed, Naito would de-summon his scabbard and blade before crossing his arms. To think he would have leveled up in such a ridiculous manner. It was shameless, but the job was done. So without any words, he headed towards the crimson door without another word. Sitting there and listening to heart to heart moments wasn't exactly his style, and so he'd wait infront of the exit to Limbo. If everything went smoothly, he'd be gone. However, if the boy rejected his Shadow and it flared up once again, he'd have to prepare himself for another round of combat. That was one thing the silver haired student wasn't looking forward to. Hell, these trips into Limbo to save people he hardly knew was getting really old, really fast. Perhaps with these other Persona users popping up, maybe he'd be able to focus on more important things. Finding out who or what was behind Limbo's creation. Still, there were no suspects... However, one thing was sure. Students seemed to be the targets of these attacks. And the fact Gabishi was thrown in right after he returned to school, it was quite possible the person behind the attacks was another student.

Gabishi was confused of all the things that happened until know, but it seems that he finally get the idea. Gabishi slowly get up and look at both of Genji and Naito, that both remain silent. Well, Naito was already heading out from the place, Gabishi bet that he didn't wanted to waste any time in there. Gabishi look at his shadow as he walked towards him. Gabishi look at his shadow with a look. Weak?...... You are not weak..... You put out an amazing fight against Genji-senpai and Naito. Gabishi said while looking at his shadow. Yeah.... what you said erlier was true, i enjoy fighting people.... Gabishi said as he lowered his eyes looking down. Since Dad left me, i felt so weak.... that's why i decided to train my body to become stronger... Gabishi said while looking at the boxing ring. I was angry at people since they look down at me, like they were stronger than me..... so i kinda rebel at them by giving them a few punch at them, and that made me releasing all the angry inside me... Gabishi continued to talk while looking back at his shadow. But after doing that everyone decided to avoid me, keeping distance at me, treating me like an animal..... Gabishi said as clenched his fists. I hated that feeling, i just wanted that people would accept me like i am, like what are you doing right now. Gabishi quickly look at his shadow. If you felt weak that I'm weak too.... Since you are me, and I'm you.... right? Gabishi said with a little smile on his face. We have to become stronger..... together... Gabishi said with a little smile on his face while looking at his shadow.

With the acceptance of your Shadow, Gabishi has unlocked a power from within...

Gabishi's shadow has become Maahes... The Lion's pride will protect the weak...


The moment Gabishi's Shadow was accepted into himself as a Persona, a blue door would be summoned within the room. Bathing the ring in a blue light, William would exit the door with his usual laid back appearance, and a bag in hand. "Mission accomplished. Here are your items." The Velvet Attendant spoke in a lazy tone, as he reached into his bag and removed the rewards for Genji and Naito. Once finished handing out their rewards, he'd walk over to the newest Persona user and reach into his bag. "Here." With a nonchalant sigh, he'd remove a pair of glasses from the bag that were similar to the ones Naito and Genji had owned. The main differences was the red colored frames. Handing the glasses to Gabishi, William would make his way back towards the Velvet Room entrance. "Those glasses should help you survive longer, next time you're up again Shadows. Ask your friends about the Velvet Room. Goodbye." Blunt and to the point as usual, William wouldn't wait even if someone asked him a question. He'd re-enter the door and disappear in the blue light.

Naito Items Received:

Genji Items Received:

Gabishi Items Received:

Genji didn't care about the reward, honestly. He was just terrified at the fact that Hikuro was going to die if he didn't help him. He was happy that he was rewarded for it, though. It would help him become stronger and get better to help others that may be trapped here. He needed to get even better in order to figure this out. For now, though, he needed to explain a few things to Gabishi, so he wouldn't be left in the dark more than he needed to be.

"Where to start. There's a lot to cover. You just gained a Persona. It is a part of you that you use to help you in social situations. In this world, called Limbo, it's used in a different way. We use our Personas to fight Shadows. They are numerous in this world and they like to attack anyone who isn't a part of it. There is someone out there who is throwing people like us into Limbo. Who it is and the true reason, we don't know as of now. But we can get clues by entering through these red doors. We don't know a lot about it ourselves, but we are slowly trying to figure it out."

"You might also be wondering about the person who just spoke to us. He is not a human, he's a Velvet Room Attendant. They are people who try to help us out and explain Personas to us. Unfortunately, this one isn't in a speaking mood. There are many others, though. If anything, I'm just glad that you are okay. I would've been devastated if you didn't make it out alive. I hope that we can work together in the future, so that we can solve this mystery together. But you don't have to if you don't want to, it's fine. It's up to you. I'll just make sure that you get home fine, though. So once we're ready to leave, I'll help you home."

Genji was relieved that it was all over for now. He wondered if Naito was going to say anything, or if he was just going to leave. He would meet up with the two of them separatley, he wanted to make sure that they got their information across. He would worry about that later, though. He just needed to make sure that Gabishi would get home safely.

[Will Exit with Gabishi]

The moment Naito received the reward, he'd leave Limbo behind without worry. Genji could take it from there.

[Exit]
