Persona Survivor Ch.8

The Second Day pt.4

 

Outside of the mall Adachi leads the group towards the main entrance marching around happily as the group follows behind him keeping an eye out for Shadows. They stop in front of the doorway as Adachi spreads out his arms happily seemingly presenting it to the group.

            "And here we are, the mall, this is where everyone should be!" Adachi yells out excitedly.

            "How can you be so sure?" Daichi asks curiously.

            "Well where does everyone go in an apocalypse? I mean there is food here and there is space and stuff you can use to defend yourself." Adachi says explaining things with a grin on his face.

            "He does make a bit of sense." Noriko looks on seriously moving towards the door. "Either way it would be good  to at least check around inside."

            "Maybe, it could've already been hit hard by looters." Hinako looks on annoyed before walking towards the doorway. "Oh well might as well just go along with it, what could we lose."

Suddenly a series of loud screams come from within the mall as the group stands outside.

 

They quickly rush inside to a large entryway with escalators leading to the second floor with various shops awaiting potential shoppers. As they walk in the screams grow louder and louder before suddenly stopping as the sounds the sounds of an odd squirming starts crawling closer to the group.

            "Okay what is that?" Airi asks nervously.

            "Everyone ready yourselves, we're in for a fight." Noriko unsheathes her sword as she looks on ahead.

On top of the second floor a large figure comprising mostly of hands grabbing at everything within reach appears using those same hands to grab anything into itself. Looking on the image of a mask appears in the middle of the mass of arms and hands staring down at the group.

            "I am the Shadow the true self, I am Greed, everything in this world is mine, mine, mine! I will clam everything and make it mine, mine, mine!" The figure yells out as it looks down to them.

            "Great another one of those big Shadows." Daichi says annoyed bracing himself. "So what're we going to do?"

            "We do what we always do, we fight." Hinako takes an offensive stance staring up at the Shadow. "Come on, let's take on this stupid thing and get some food."

            "Well I might as well." Daichi says taking a stance.

            "MINE!!!" The Shadow reaches out its arms shooting out black sludge that falls to the ground becoming more Shadows with grasping hands reaching out for anything.

            "The stupid thing can make more of itself?" Daichi asks panicking.

Suddenly Adachi tosses out two knives into the Shadows before they quickly fade away. "Oh goodie, that means I can kill more and more and more, without stopping!"

            "Seriously how many knives do you have on you?" Daichi asks curiously.

            "Knives for days."

            "Knives for days?"

            "Knives for days!" Adachi tosses out more knives towards the Shadows being spat out by the larger beast, excitedly jumping around with a large grin on his face.

            "Everyone, it's time for battle!" Noriko says seriously holding out her hand. "Hua Po!"

Noriko's Persona materializes above her shooting out a large blast of fire out at the large Shadow causing it to wince out in pain. Everyone follows in action summoning their Personas and hitting the Shadow with a multitude of attacks.

            "MINE!!!" The Shadow reaches out its arms grabbing each of the Personas and pulling them towards it and lifting their users into the air.

            "What the hell I can't move?" Daichi says seriously struggling to move his body.

            "It's because were connected." Hiroto says seriously. "Everyone don't use your Personas!"

The Personas fade away as the grip breaks and they fall to the floor regaining their ability to move. "So using Personas against this thing is an out, so what now?" Hinako asks curiously.

A large Shadow starts crawling over her as she starts getting up off the ground. Almost instinctually she kicks it knocking it back as it fades away.

            "Wait that kick worked?" Daichi rushes up to her amazed by the feat before she pushes him back. "How did you do that?"

            "I just acted, I just thought I could kick it."

            "Wait, it's like Wakui-San's sword. It can't actually cut anything because it's fake, but because she thinks it can cut the Shadows it can."

            "So as long as we believe we can fight against them we can, does that mean Akie-San's knives are...."

            "No my knives are realer than real, wanna test them out?" Adachi asks holding a knife in his hand happily.

            "No thank you." Daichi says nervously. "So let's try punching these things......"

A Shadow creeps up to Daichi, who freezes instantly as Hinako comes in kicking the Shadow back and pushing him to the side. "Maybe it's best that you just stay out of this one."

            "Yeah." Daichi says nervously.

Hiroto, Daichi, and Airi run off towards the corner away from the main entryway, leaving Noriko, Hinako, and Adachi to fight off the Shadow's hordes. The trio rush inside of one of the stores and hideaway behind the counter.

            "Okay so we just wait here until the others are done fighting the big guy then we come out to help." Daichi says nervously looking for any form of cooperation. "This is a perfect plan don't you agree."

            "I don't know, there has to be something we can do, even without our Personas." Hiroto looks over the counter staring out at the ongoing battle. "Something even I can do."

 

On the other side of the mall the sword wielding girl walks through the chaos caused by the Shadows rampage, past the smashed store fronts and dead bodies with a grin on her face. "This is getting quite exciting, maybe just maybe this is the thrill I need."

 

Outside the mall Eiji and Rio walk up to the entrance looking on to see the raging battle inside. They stop just outside of the doors with Rio putting her hand on the door hesitating to open it.

            "What're you doing, let's turn around this place isn't going to make a good shelter." Eiji says seriously looking at the battle. "Those guys seem to be like us, so they'll take care of this, or they'll die either way we're not involved."

            "Your correct we're not involved, yet." Rio swings open the door bow and arrow in hand with Eiji reluctantly following behind her.

She takes aim at the Shadow firing an arrow at the Shadow's mask causing it to roar out in pain. The Shadows around the group start to fade away after the blow as everyone focuses their attention towards the larger threat.

            "Are we involved now?" Rio asks jokingly.

            "I say we most certainly are."

The group comes upon a large Shadow as they enter combat yet again.
