Get back here you moron! *Aitome continues to run after the Moron in Gray, pumping her legs as hard as she can in attempt to reach the door, ignoring everything else, her scarf flying in the wind

*Gamma sighs and steps back for a moment, allowing Tatsuya to play the lead. He takes out a shard of ice and begins tossing it into the air* yeah yeah, just go on ahead and play hero like usual. I'll be around to clean up your mess. *Gamma calmly walks to the door after Ai and Tatsuya, observing the mostly blank area around him*

*Tatsuya looks back at Gamma... Before simply shrugging and turning back to the door, he's clearly stopped caring about what the edgelord has to say long ago, walking to door with only a sideways glance and a draw of his longsword, rather than the chainblade* Sure Gamma you can clean up the mess, just keep telling yourself whatever you want to. *His words are absent minded as he continues looking ahead, obviously not willing to actually look at Gamma*

*As the small group enters the door the robed figure can be seen standing at the end of a large metal room. Glowing eyes can be seen under the hood but they don't really seem to be looking at anything.* Analyzing foreign entities... Analysis inconclusive...Error...Please standby while the system reboots... *The figure can be seen with a metal sphere floating around in hand. They seem to be absent mindedly playing with it.*

*Gamma walks over to a corner of the room with a sigh, and turns his focus to the ice in his hand, he doesn't say a word, simply catches, and throws, occasionally glancing up at the others*

*Aitome then storms into the room, flames seems to whip around her as she shouts out, eyes red. Hey! Leader! Its me, Aitome! What are you doing here? I spent all my time looking for you and then you show up without even a hi? What happened back there in the arena? Give me some answers!

... God dammit Lux are you in safe mode or something again!? Christ sakes every time I turn around you have something terrible happen, is this a curse or just bad luck? *Tatsuya sighs and walks a bit closer to Lux, stowing his blade once again. And smiling at the robot while attempting to appear nonthreatening so as to avoid causing a fight* Anyways that aside it's good ta see you again man, how the hell did you end up here anyways?

Non-Hostile aproach-ERROR... 038210830298302918309283018309218390128309821.... Initiating...Persona Protocol...Chasm... *Suddenly a card shrouded in static appears in Lux's hands as the hood of the robe flies off. Lux crushes the card in his hand as a dark humanoid figure appears behind him holding a void in its hands. A great force is sent out attempting to knock anyone nearby back.* ERROR...Activating Internal Evoker... *A blue flash goes off in Lux's head as spark seem to come off him slightly. Phanes appears with its cosmic skin and golden wings shimmering. Suddenly the walls form metal spikes to go along with the powerful force.*

*Gamma is practically pushed off the wall by the spikes, leaving him with minor scratches* Ok there pal, you need to cool off. Shiranui, Ice Age. *Gamma sighs as he stands closer to the middle of the room. Ice radiates outwards from him as he starts to cover the area. It extends toward Lux, but is unlikely to reach him yet* Not sure if either of you losers remember, but if you can force him onto the ice, do so. *shrug* Its kinda my thing after all

*Aitome gets hit back by the wall of force but manages to deftly dodge the spikes, seeming surprised that she was attacked ... I see how it is, Tormention. Diamond Dust. *Aitome then takes a mask off of her face and slams it into the ground, a giant black cthulu monster does the same action as it shoots up a icicle where Leader is standing,

*The force slams into Tatsuya sending him flying backwards, generally he'd stab the ground but his sword isn't out so instead he simply slides about 30 feet back and the spikes tear into him a bit, cuts showing on his skin as he summons Lucifer* Hmm... Yeah sure, can't hurt to try your idiot plan out right? *The Persona floats in the air hanging back as dark tendrils form on Tatsuya's back, the man rushing straight at Lux with his blade out once more. Darting around behind Lux and trying to force the bot back with a quick stab, the pair of dark tendrils on the other hand grows sharp with a gesture from Lucifer and attempts to slash into each shoulder of Lux, digging into him if they succeed*

*Lux doesn't even seem keen on dodging as the icy spike tear into him and Tatsuya stabs him from behind before Lucifer tears at his shoulders. He simply lands on his knees and looks to the ground.* Yes...This is the only way... *Chasm screeches in delight as it moves in to try and grab onto Lucifer's wings and attempt to tear them to pieces if it successfully grabs on. Phanes begins charging a metallic looking ball before pushing it into the ground and having two metal tendril come out. One aims for Gamma to try and ensnare him in solid steel while the other does the same to Aitome.*

*Gamma looks at the metal tendrils and sighs before summoning his persona once more* Alright Shiranui, Lets see about this. Maeigaon. *4 tendrils of darkness erupt out of the ground near Lux, each aiming to latch onto a different one of his limbs and pull him to the ground. He does nothing to stop the metal, instead simply stepping back a little*

*Aitome notices the tendrils incoming and spreads her hands out in front of her conjuring a small ice wall for the tendrils to fly into and hopefully stop them as she yells out That's where your wrong Leader! I thought the same way, but in the end I caused more suffering! Think this thorough!

*Lucifer is grabbed... But it lashes out at Chasm slamming it's claws into the chest of the beast and pulling them upwards before trying to rip them out, obviously more focused on killing it's foe than defense* No it's not you fucking idiot! You can tell me that crap but... I. Will. Not. Kill. You. *Tatsuya puts his blade back in it's sheath before his revolver appears in his hand, taking aim at the dark figure. 3 glowing white rounds flying from the gun for the center of the creature before he looks at Lux* That weird ass thing tho? I'll kick it's ass straight to hell man, you should probably help it doesn't seem friendly yeah? *He grins and looks down at Lux obviously hoping that he can get through*

*The dark tendrils wrap around Lux's limbs and hold him down.* That thing...it's part of me, too. That's my true self just as much as Phanes is... I'm a real mess...I'll only end up hurting you all. Null gave me a prediction...My death would serve others or I'd walk a lonely road at the very end...I'm sure you can guess what the latter means. This isn't some heroic act, I just don't want to be alone again. I don't want to lose more people, so this is the way it has to be... *Chasm is thrown around by the strikes but it refuses to let go. It opens its mouth to reveal a set of feral fangs as it attempts to bite into Lucifer's kneck.* *Phanes throws another metal ball into the ground and two more metal tendrils rise up. The tendril near Gamma already continues to approach him as one of the newer ones digs underground and appears behind Gamma to catch him off-guard. The one already near Aitome begins ramming into the ice wall to try and break it down. The second of the new tendrils heads towards Tatsuya to try and entangle him as well.*

*Gamma closes his eyes and pretends the tendrils aren't approaching him. He smiles and speaks* How about you shut up and listen to these idiots. Its obvious they care about you. Shouldn't you think of how they'd feel about this, about you simply disappearing? Take your time. Shiranui, Dormina. *Gamma's persona bursts into life and roars, causing light blue flames to travel up the tendrils attached to Lux, they leave behind a feeling of cold exhaustion if they connect*

Moron! Your talking like me before I got Vestal! Why should you be held down by a couple of words?!? No matter what! I'll stand beside you even if it'll kill me! Because... *Aitome then jumps over the ice wall and lands on the tendril, forming more ice while on it in attempt to trap it for a while Because your my friend! And nothing will change it!

*Lucifer's neck is in fact bitten and it does howl in pain, but after wards simply vanishes reappearing behind Tatsuya as Lakshmi instead, a small wound does appear on the same spot of Tatsu's neck however* You think that... I COULDN'T CARE LESS WHAT AN EMPTY LITTLE FUCK WHO HANDS OUT TAROT CARDS HAS TO SAY! *Normally an inferno would roar to life but since Lakshmi is out for a change instead rocks seem to rush out of the earth, forming a giant fist and slamming into the tendril headed for Tatsu, attempting to grab and crush it assuming it's not been destroyed. The rage might not be good for judgment but it certainly makes magic stronger* Why in the fuck do you think yet another God or whatever the fuck that thing is can't be beat dumbass... Tch, it's just some empty fool that's never been anything remotely like alive. I'm sick of people in general taking weird ass supernatural beings at face value... But fucks sake have I taught you nothing!? Don't trust Null Lux, whatever it wants can't be good, and we will stop it somehow. *He laughs bitterly and walks over to Lux, his gun vanishing from his hand* Just because Null acts like he's unbeatable or something doesn't mean he is... Even if he really doesn't want to hurt you. Which I don't believe. He's still gonna get proven wromg. *Tatsuya smiles at Lux and draws his blade slashing down at the tendrils and offering Lux a hand up if he cuts through* Come on pal let's deal with whatever the Chasm thing is... And besides you can't end up alone, *he smirks at Lux and chuckles at the thought* you're my friend so really you'll die before me man, it always goes that way didn't ya know?

*As the tendrils break from Lux he falls to the ground with an exhausted look.* I... I don't know what to do anymore... I've never cared much for my existence, but if it meant helping others, then I'd gladly die. I'm just a machine, one that was made to kill shadows. I can't even do that right though... *Lux stands up with a smile.* But... Even if it costs my life...I will protect what's right next to me. I'll do what I can in the here and now if that's really what you want... *Phanes fades away in a blue flash of light as a metal sword materializes in Lux's hands. He struggles to stand but still faces Chasm. The metal tendrils fizzle away and melt into the ground.* *Chasm looks at the group with a pure feral desire to kill in its eyes as a void appears in its hands. The void grows to roughly the size of a beach ball as it tosses it towards most of the group but purposely avoids hitting Lux. The ball erases anything it touches, leaving behind a massive hole in its wake. If it hits, it won't be good.*

*Seeing the distortion Chasm's void leaves in its wake, Gamma decides to slide under it, before snapping his fingers.* *sigh* I really should have seen something like this coming. I suppose we move to the extermination part now. Shiranui, tie it down. Maeigaon *4 Tendrils erupt from the ground beneath Gamma's feet, a light blue tint to them. The tendrils attempt to wrap around Chasm and drag him to the ground. If the tendrils attach, ice spreads from any points of contact in an attempt to freeze Chasm*

*Tatsuya grins at Lux for a moment before his thief clothes appear, the ball scraping against his arm and taking a small bit of it in spite of his enhanced speed letting him dodge most* Gah fuck! That's actually worrying even to me I'm impressed! *In a blur of motion Tatsuya rushes at the beast and draws his blade, Lucifer taking the place of Lakshmi as more darkness spreads into Gamma's tendrils, reenforcing them with a significant amount of power. As this happens Tatsu continues running and leaps into the air to go over it's head and slash his sword into the thing before landing behind it. Hopefully Chasm will be too tied down to dodge*

*Aitome notices the ball coming and jumps back behind her small ice wall, using it as a bit of cover that'll hopefully prevent a couple of his as she raises her hands in the air, a green light encompassing the party, healing for medium wounds Do you still not understand Leader? If you die then why did we come here in the first place? We are here to save you! If you die it would have been all for nothing! I don't care what you are! Your my Leader and my friend! I would follow you to the end of the world!

(Prevent a couple of hits, sorry I'm tired)

*The void lands on the ice wall and begins eating through it only stopping wants it's consumed enough to dig a large hole straight through the ice wall causing it to crack and crumble to the ground. The tendrils wrap around chasm and begin freezing its body as it falls to the ground. Lux's skin begins to freeze over slightly but he simply smiles in response. Tatsuya slashes into Chasm before landing behind it. A light scratch appears on Lux's back as well away from anyone's view as he smiles more.* And what would an existence like mine prove anyway... Maybe, there is at least a better way though. *Chasm begins fidgeting and screeching as a faint noise is overshadowed by its rampage.*

*Gamma sighs as the tendrils grow tighter, attempting to prevent any movement from Chasm* Look, honestly, I don't care how crappy you feel about things, just calm down. You mentioned this is your persona, right? A part of you. The solution is easy. Call it back and move on with your life *Gamma holds one arm close to his heart, and speaks in a barely audible whisper* B... Believe it or not. There are people who would miss you. At least three of them. Shiranui, Dormina. *The dark tendrils widen in an attempt to form a coccoon of sorts around Chasm, and then pulse with the exhausting blue flames from earlier.*

*Tatsuya simply hold the beast I'm place just with yet more darkness rather than continuing to attack, obviously noticing Lux's wounds* Tch... There's gotta be some way out of this right? And as for what you prove Lux? *He smiles at Lux and shrugs* I dunno man, like you've said you were meant to be a weapon... But you're more than that so you definitely prove that people can go beyond their so called fate, and beyond that does it really matter? In the end nobody's existing proves anything frankly, doesn't matter though in the end we just keep going and doing whatever we believe in. That's what really matters Lux. So yeah who cares we're here, that's the point.

Pinky is right! I'm not going to take no for an answer! Your coming with us in one piece! If you don't... I.. I don't know what I'll do... I'll be lost without a purpose, I made a vow to try to protect my friends, if I can't save you as well then... *Aitome then clinches her hands, eyes glowing red as she sparks with a mind charge in case of things going poorly No! I won't accept that! You ARE coming back alive! I'll make sure of it!

*Lux seems to laugh as he smiles and walks toward Chasm.* Yeah, I already know you all care... That's why, I have to... *Lux sighs, a clear clicking can be heard now.* How about this... I promise I won't die yet and in exchange, you all have some faith in me... *Lux runs up and grabs onto Chasm as it begins rampaging more and more.* You're my Persona! So that means I can control you! You're me and I'm you! So, now it's time to sleep! *In a flash of light Lux and Chasm are gone.*

Heh... this cruel fate we have been given... hopefully you can change it with your power, don't worry Leader, I can wait, destiny doesn't change overnight after all. *Aitome then gets up, energy dispersing as she turns around, taking one last look at the room before opening a rift, stepping into it but saying a few last words I knew you had something in you Pinky, and thanks again Red Coat, I'll see ya in a bit! *Aitome then fully walks into the rift, closing it behind her

I really need to get that rift crap... Gah what in the hell is Hans up to these days anyways? *He looks over to Gamma and nods slightly, impressed by the fact that edgelord didn't screw up talking for a change* Oh and Gamma... I still don't really trust you frankly, but hey thanks for the help. Turns out we can work together after all huh. So what I'm saying is, you're still an overly edgy jackass and I'm really sick of your bullshit. I think you're probably plotting something... But I also won't do anything unless you give me a damm good reason. So don't. *He turns on his heel hands in his pockets and walks away, leaving Gamma with those parting words as a small smile forms on his face*
