When the group came too, they'd find themselves in a place they hadn't seen in years. The depths of the Dysfunctional City of Limbo. Limbo itself was closed off from the world, thanks to the sacrifice of Hibiki, but if he were to be saved here wouldn't that mean Brahman would be released upon the world? Yachiru's ordeal was enough, so releasing another entity could cause chaos for everyone. The young man continued to glare down Destiny, Kahn, and Naito with keen blue eyes that seemed to glow within the odd coloration of Limbo itself.

Hibiki closed his eyes and spoke with a rather bland voice to the group before him. His only word to this point was: "Why?"

"Mission accomplished. We found you, Nakahara Hibiki." The Tsurinai regained his composure before his comrades when he took notice of Hibiki. Though he could tell something was very different with him, this was certainly the Hibiki that fought along side them those years ago. When it came to talking to others, the Tsurinai was lacking the aptitude. After all, his child hood wasn't entirely that friendly to say the least. Infact, he couldn't make a note of one friend he actually had as a child up to this point, so the words for this part would need to be left to Azame and Endeux. After all, they were alot more passionate than him. He would be sure to take a step back and analyze the situation before saying anything that could compromise the whole deal.

What confused him was what that enigma was exactly, and he was hoping someone would ask that question while attempting to speak with Hibiki. Did he even remember him? If he did, why even ask why? Was he asking why they went so far to rescue him, or why it took so long for them to find him? So many theories, and yet Naito had no conjecture. Had Hibiki been sleeping this entire time while Limbo was sealed away? Perhaps once the brunt of the conversation was over, Naito would have a proper one on one with him.

Kahn blinked as he finds himself in a world...Limbo...he would never forget this place. This must have been the world Hibiki went to in order to steal Limbo away. The young man looked up at his friend and smiled, "Yeah, we did it." The red haired man said...though then his friend asked the strangest question of..."why". Kahn tilted his head and looked up at Hibiki, he was clearly confused as to what he meant by why...

"Hibiki, what do you mean by why? Why what? I don't understand what you mean?" he asked, he need clarification. Was Hibiki asking why they waited so long to save him or why they were saving him. Wasn't it obvious? He was their friend, why wouldn't they rescue him. Not to mention they could use another experienced hand on deck to help them with their cause. The team was coming back together! This was a time of celebration, not of glares and anger...why was he glaring at them? This doesn't make any sense!?

// ...What...Where did we...? //

They fell. That much she knew. One second, they were fighting against those...things, then the next they were...here. But where was...?

Destiny stiffened as she took in her surroundings, running her fingers over collarbone in an effort to calm her suddenly racing heartbeat. This place. She hated this place. She'd only been inside twice before, but both times were not exactly the most pleasant of experiences. The cold eyes of their comrade positively glowering at them only made her want to shrink away even more, but he swallowed her fear and glanced around instead. Her eyes landed on the body of Nola Shephard, and her eyes widened in surprise. Right...Kahn had gone against that Hibiki shadow, and then it turned into Ms. Shephard...so she really was in Limbo this whole time. But...was she alive...?

While Kahn undertook the task of questioning Hibiki, Destiny shifted to the teacher's side and watched her for a moment, hoping to catch sight of the rise and fall of her chest. She then picked up the teacher's wrist, checking her pulse, then placed two fingers to the older woman's neck for the same reason. So far, they seemed to have found Hibiki. Would returning Ms. Shephard be something they could accomplish too, or had it been too long?

"Why did you come here? For you arriving here, everything I sacrificed means nothing. Limbo being sealed, Brahman being disconnected from the fate of humanity; it's all the same. What are you trying to accomplish here?" Hibiki was confused on the situation. There was no hostility or hate coming from him, but there was a sense of confusion and regret for their sake. Had they forgotten the threat Limbo was that year ago? How the world was being covered in that red fog and people were losing their lives left and right? Did they have any right undoing the sacrifice he had done to keep Limbo at bay? The young man required an explanation. He wanted their thought process on what they were doing here. Saving a friend is one thing, but condemning mankind is something else entirely.

When it came to blonde teacher and the student who was saved previously, both of them would still be alive. They seemed to be sleeping, or atleast resting. That mysterious enigma that took Hibiki's appearance seemed to give up using them as a host, so they had been returned to normal.

This was interesting. Did Nakahara not wish to be saved? He had a good point that if they did save him, then Limbo and Brahman would return. But at the same time, the world was already in peril. Without his assistance, things could end much worse. It was imperative that Hibiki was retrieved from this crypt he created from himself. That much was known.

"Nakahara, times have changed. You've been sleep for a long two years. The world is already in peril once again. And do not think we are coming to you so you may sacrifice yourself again to end it. No, we're here to save a friend in need. With our strength now, we can deal with Limbo if it ever shows its ugly head again. You've given us plenty of time to get stronger." The silver locked young man would cross his arms and close his eyes as he spoke. "More importantly, we need you now. We need the entire team to deal with the current threat plaguing Ueitawa. And also, we wouldn't want you to give your life for all of our burdens. Let us carry our own weight." The young man spoke with a clear tone that was obviously sincere. Hibiki was quite different from back then. He was stronger and not so soft spoken. For some reason, this made Naito rather... happy?

Kahn looked at Hibiki confused, he didn't want to be saved? The young man blinked, his friend's logic made some sense, but...based on that vision...it seems likely that Hibiki will be needed in order to handle the upcoming battle. They saw the world where if they failed, and Hibiki wasn't there...then no one would be safe. They had no choice, and Kahn wasn't worried about Brahama, like Naito said they had gotten stronger and Kahn was constantly growing stronger even as they faced the challenges inside the tower.

"Naito's right, currently another supernatural event is threatening our world.We need your help in order to overcome the issue we are having right now. If Brahama seeks to challenge us again then we'll have to beat him down too. Once we got the team together, nothing will stop us. However, more importantly, we get a good friend back, so come on, let's go save the world...together this time." the young man said, he held out a hand toward Hibiki, hoping his friend would take it. It would be like the good old times, working together to beat up the bad guys. They would be protecting each other and ensuring that no harm befell one another.

Destiny couldn't help but relax slightly upon finding that Ms. Shephard and the other student were still alive. How healthy they were would have to wait to be determined by a trained medical professional after the night had passed and the crisis averted, but judging by how they looked, their bodies had been in stasis for a while. Perhaps they maintained their muscle mass and strength thanks to the strange properties of this world? Maybe it went for Hibiki as well, since he seemed healthy...

She listened to her companions speak, attempting to sway Hibiki to come along with them. His fears and concerns were entirely justified. After all, if he left, then the terror they faced last year would begin anew. ...Or would it? The girl's brow furrowed as she recalled running into Marah B. briefly on this very night. He'd even called out to her by name. If he was untimately responsible for last year's events and was supposed to be sealed here, in Limbo...then how could he have appeared there, in the courtyard?

"I know that you being here is--was important." Destiny tried to speak loudly, but her voice cracked slightly as agitation at her surroundings set in again. After a brief swallow, she continued in a stronger voice, looking towards Hibiki but unable to make direct eye contact at the moment. "But things have changed. Brahama--Marah B.--whatever he's calling himself isn't here any more. He's back in Ueitawa. We don't know how he got out or what he's trying to do, but I don't think you being here is going to help any longer." She wanted to thank him for everything that he'd done, or maybe make another plea for him to come back, but Naito and Kahn had already said all that. It was time for Hibiki to make his own decision.

Of course, that didn't stop her from bowing her head slightly and offering a silent prayer to whatever entity that would listen.

"You all.. really don't understand, do you? Marah B. wasn't the issue. He was just another tool to something much larger that lurked in the darkness. If you're willing to face this threat now, I will join you. If Brahman is defeated, then I'll have no reason to stay here anymore. I'll assist you in this fight, but you must know, it is the ultimate reality. It will not be an easy feat to force it back once the battle begins." Hibiki shoved his hands in the pocket of his hoodie as he closed his eyes. "The moment I sealed the entrance to this place, that being tormented my every sleeping moment. I know it all too well, but luckily the thought of protecting you all kept its influence at bay. It was my battle to handle Brahman, as long as you could find and eliminate Marah B. But, if you honestly want me to rejoin you, then this must be done. Brahman must be eliminated for good. Luckily, being sealed here for some time has made it much weaker. If we're going to drive back this God, now would be the best time." The young man was giving the small team a choice. If they wanted his assistance, and the power of the Universe, they'd have to defeat the lingering God that dwelled within the isolated reality of Limbo. If they wished to leave him there, they could easily refuse and Hibiki would send them back to the courtyard. The question was, would they risk their lives to fight a being that existed in a whole nother world than anything they had faced to that point. This wasn't a human or another shadow like they were used too. This was an actual God and that was a sobering thought.

It seemed the battles never ended this night. To be honest, the Tsurinai was starting to feel some fatigue from all these fights. But if he needed to defeat a God to free Hibiki, he had no problem with that. The silver haired young man would summon a blade to hand. "I'm willing to fight for your freedom, Nakahara. I'm sure with your abilities now, we will put this God in its place. Beneath the heels of humanity. After all, nothing becomes a God until the people believe enough in it. Well I believe human will is more powerful than any God that we can manifest. Brahman is no different." The young swordsman knew he was asking much from the comrades he brought along with him. So his silver eyes would look towards Kahn and Destiny. "If you both want to step out now, I won't look down on you because of it. One fight after the next, you're probably both exhausted. I'm sure I can handle this if you need to rest."

Kahn frowned well as it turns out there was one more challenge that lay ahead of them, and that was the god of this reality. The one who started this entire mess, if they wanted to save Hibiki then they had to defeat Brahama. Evidently, it was weaker than what it was before, that is good news to hear. Naito spoke first, and evidently Destiny and Kahn were given a free pass to bail out of this fight. "Listen to you, didn't you once tell me to ensure my comrades safety a few years back?" He said before chuckling a bit, "I can't exactly see to your safety or Hibiki's for that matter if I turn with my tail between my legs. I'm in this, I'll do my best to pull my weight." He said before taking into account the others who the mysterious Enigma had taken over.

"Hibiki, could you please transport Noel and the student out of this place? I'd hate for them to get caught in the crossfire, and I know someone is looking for Noel. He will probably be very happy to see her." Kahn said giving Naito a nod, they should know who he was talking about. Who knows, with any luck perhaps more good could come of it. The red haired young man, then looked toward Destiny, "Destiny if you think you can manage it, you and I are still hurt from the last fight, if you could heal our previous injuries, I think we'll be better off if we're all at our tip-top shape. You healed me before the fight ended, so I'm alright." Though he fishes out an two snuff souls from his coat pocket, and he places it into Destiny's hands.

"If you ever run out of energy, use this, it will restore some of it. I have a few more as an emergency" he said before turning to Naito and giving him a nod. "Alright, now that is taken care of, I'm ready whenever everyone else is."

It was tempting to reach out and offer Hibiki some kind of consolation for the terrors he'd gone through in this horrible place for Ueitawa's--no, their sake--but Destiny stopped herself from moving. What could she say to wipe away that pain, that awful experience? Nothing. No amount of hugging or soft spoken words would fix it. All that was left was to convince Hibiki to come with them...or, well, fight again, it seemed.

The girl's brow furrowed at the thought of their next adversary. The one behind the Limbo incidents, hm...? This wouldn't be easy. Heavens, she could barely hold her own against Hibiki himself! ...But...if this was the only way, so be it. And she'd follow the others and give as much support as she could, whatever that was worth.

Destiny blinked, stunned at Naito's words, before she fixed him with a frown. Yes, she was hardly as strong as any of them, but Naito seemed to have a fondness for telling her to run. Some people might find it touching; at the moment, all she could see it as was a stabbing reminder of how far behind the others she was in practically every way save one. Honestly, it hurt. But she couldn't let herself get wrapped up in those thoughts right now. "Same here." she added after Kahn spoke up, steeling her gaze. Staying behind didn't feel right. Besides, what would staying behind accomplish? Nothing. So there was no point in taking that road at all.

"Of course." Although she hadn't done so in over a year, summoning Thalia had become easier and easier to the point where the process barely took more than a few seconds to accomplish. The persona popped into view, giving the three boys a wide grin and a wave before blowing a kiss. Instantly they glowed with a soft light, an indicator that the persona's magic had worked.

The girl accepted Kahn's gift with a nod, placing the items in her pocket. They were strange, no doubt, but if they were to be of use, she'd keep them. Thalia rocked back and forth on her heels, whistling silently as she eyed everyone. Destiny, on the other hand, sighed softly before looking towards the others, awaiting a signal that they were about to depart.

Hibiki closed his eyes and gave a nod to the other. The darkness from his hoodie began to seep to the floor, revealing the previous white and blue that he wore that year ago. This black, sludge like material would begin to pool together, dragging pieces of Limbo within to it. With this done, Hibiki would have removed the remaining piece of Limbo sealed within him that had held Brahman this entire time. The power of the Universe was something amazing, however it could not easily erase a being like Brahman alone. However, they would be able to force the God back if they were strong enough.

The darkness and bile began to grow, consuming more and more of the area round them. A dark red fog would begin to cloud the area, cutting view, as a towering figure appeared within it. To Kahn and Hibiki, this creature was something they had encountered before in the Dreamscape Aberration. This figure in the Fog would look down at the individuals.. its gaze moving towards Kahn and Hibiki first.

"You... The "Avenger" and the other who sealed me within himself. Releasing me will be the last mistake you humans ever make. The new world I create... You will no longer exist within. Every reality, I will erase your existence. Cower, because these are your final moments before the living."

Brahman:

Hibiki:

Kahn watched the familiar fog roll in and the silhouette hidden in the fog, he could feel its eyes on him. It had a grudge with him, and it claimed that it would erase his existence from all realities. The ultimate game over if one were to think about it. However, it was clear that him and Hibiki had its attention, which was good...it could focus on Kahn all he wanted. He could take a beating, and perhaps it would keep it from harming his comrades. That would be worth it in Kahn's mind, he might not have the damage of Naito or Hibiki, or Destiny's healing.

However, he could take a hit or two, and he seemed to have a knack for pissing off the all the wrong people. "You had your chance when all this was going, even when I refused that deal of yours. You didn't do it then, and you expect me to believe you can do it now? Ha, bring it on. Make me believe it." The red haired young man said as he summoned Power to his side and it would analyze the evil god before the group, and it would pass the information on to the rest of the group.

...This was it, huh? The time that has passed was a bit blurry, but Hibiki did remember how this all started. And he hadn't expected things to come to this. Was it the right choice to start this fight and struggle again? That, he didn't know. Back then, it seemed impossible, which is why he chose to do what he had. So that all of them did not have to die. Yet, it was obvious his old friends were confident they could take it on now. He did not know what exactly happened since the moment he had gotten stuck here up till the current time, so he would have to trust them on this. Perhaps they indeed had a plan to solve this without anyone losing out in the end. It was something he would have to ask them about later, after Brahman was dealt with in some way, now that he was out again.

''If you're as strong as you claim to be, why is it that I was capable of holding you back all this time? Humans aren't as weak as you think them to be, otherwise neither they, nor I would be still standing today. We have no reason to back down now that we've made this choice.'' He had done taken on Limbo back then to protect the others, and he wouldn't back out now either. That would make everything that had been done pointless. They had to win this if they did not want things to go to waste.

The Justice Arcana card would appear, before shattering to summon the Persona of his comrade Kahn, Richard to cast a spell upon the being. Despite Brahman being weakened from being trapped for so long, they still needed to be careful at least. If they fell now, what would become of the world?
