IT's weak to lightning! use that.
Now's your chance! Give it all you've got!
I still have some sp items left if anyone needs some
It looks like Agi skills cause them to regrow, Zio doesn't. Hmmm...3xcal1bur, it might be up to you! I'll keep you covered!

Leonidas! Dragon Hustle!

*allies evasion/attack/defense up*
*A surge of power once again flows through the shadow as it raises its defenses and several new appendages appear* That's right your weak, useless...
@Mishimans
it's ok, without that sp item i wouldn't be able to keep fighting strong as I am right now.
*smiles*
@Mishimans Shut up! You're not done yet are you!

*gives him my spear*

His core is exposed, go and end this, we'll cover you!
MAZIODYNE!
(huff.)
I can only keep this up for so long, Mishimans needs to confront the shadow shadow!
I don't have any lightning, but I can do this.

Persona!

*summons forth Raffles, again. This time giving the group an extra surge of agility*

Masukukaja!
Time for the end! Nothing awaits you but the bottomless void of death!
*Multiple small appendages begin to form*
Hassou Tobi!
*The blades strike from all sides at high speeds*
@imtherealklib

Wait your really letting me do this??

Are you sure ...
AAAH!
(the maziodyne attacks stop, and i'm coughing up blood...)
Leonidas! Toss your shield to Mishimans! Save him!
@Mishimans
just do it! you're the only one who can confront this shadow copy!
You're the ONLY one who can do this, @Mishimans!

*And then there were blades. Nicking and cutting and attempted dodges all around*
*gets hit by a blade and tossed across the cavern*

GAHHHH!!
You got this Mish! I believe in you!
*When its onslaught is done the appendages disappear and the core is once again exposed*
Go, ahead give it your best shot! But you know you can't do anything useful!
urk....

*drops to the ground bloody*

Mishimans, you- you're the only one!

Now....GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mishimans, I believe in you!
L-leonidas...go...protect him...

*strains to speak*
Show that thing who you really are!
Use those legs and that fist, boy!
*Looks at every with slightly brimming eyes*

Thanks guys you don't know how much this means to me.

*Charges toward the shadow*

I'm about to take you down you little shit
WASSUP NIGGAS
@CualiqueXSora
sup
Y-you! What do you t-think you're doing!
Don't let... yourself down....you...are strong...you...can win...
*Strikes the shadow directly in his core with the spear*

Who's weak now you stupid copy!!!
*bleeds more*
Leonidas, now! Heat Riser on Mishimans!
GO MISHIMAN GOOOOO
*Continues to stab the shadow with the spear*

Die Die Die!!!
Strike him down Mish!
What I wouldn't give to have a Persona that came loaded with healing.... *grabs a box of bandages, labeled from a popular TV shopping show.*
Nooo! I-I can't lose to you!
*The shadow tries to summon more blades but they melt away as soon as it summon them, the walls of the cavern begin to melt away until only Mishiman's Shadow's Shadow is left*
@Migrant
is that.
Space Princess Annie on those band-aids??
YES GO MISHIMAN I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT MAN!
lol the fuck's happenin.
Whoo! That was amazing Mish!
*sits down on the cavern floor panting after the physical exertion*

I can't believe I did that ...
Shadow: I just want to help those around me, to show them that I'm not weak, but I really am aren't I.
Huh? I just bought them because they were on sale. If you believe they can heal, they can heal... or something. *applies a few*
@Mishimans
WELL I DID AND IT WAS HYPE AS FRESH HELL
Ha...haha...HAHA! HE DID IT!

*coughs some blood*

Christ...almost stronger than the gods! Hehehe!
I think you we might need this too...
*Uses Takemedic-All V*
@Mishimans A job well done I'd say. I didn't even need to use my trump card.
As much as I hate to say it the shadow's right.

Without you guys I would have been dead already...

Guess I really can't do anything without assistance
Thanks @Emerson!
I doubt anyone could've done that alone Mish.
Thanks for the support Migrant and Emerson!

*gets up and stretches*

OWowowowowow! Okay, not fully healed, but I can move!
Shadow: How can they be so strong, while I'm not though! Dammit! Why is this so frustrating!
Just doin' what I can, X.
@Mishimans
and without you, we never would have won. Just remember that.
Now it's time for you to face yourself.
@Mishimans you think you're special cause you need backup? Ha! None of us can do anything like this alone. We need each other. That's what makes us strong! Bonds!
Mmhm, when we work together we can take down even gods! Even without Yu's help!
We're strong because of each other. None of us are alone, even when physically apart. Persona may be the strength of the heat and self, but it's also the power of bonds. For we can't realize who we are without others there to support us.
*The shadow looks at the floor with a blank expression*
Even without me, huh...
I wouldn't go that far, we are still fledgling persona users after all. But someday maybe.
*Looks toward everyone for support and then directly faces the shadow*

Yeah as much as I used to not believe this mushy stuff these people are right. Even if I couldn't face you alone it doesn't mean that i'm weak it just means that I am just like everyone else.
@Yu-Narukami
maybe not yet. you're still a professional god killer, haha!
I believe we can. All of us together; with and without Personas, helping from the sidelines, even the Thot Patrol.
*begins to laugh*

Heh if only I know the bonds I had with these people earlier then maybe we would not have had to go through all this.
Shadow: Maybe, I'm not weak after all then.
*The shadow begins to disappear*
Shadow: The power of bonds, huh...
*It fades away leaving behind only a card and butterfly*
@Mishimans
the more you knoooow
Mimi, net, now.
*Quickly jars the butterfly*
You're not going anywhere.
@Mishimans

Really dude memes at a time like this???


I really do have some interesting friends ...
Yep, you were never alone. You just wanted to believe you were. *gives Mishimans a good ol back slap*
Well now we wait for his persona to manifest! This is exciting!
@Mishimans
why thank you!
also, what's your persona?
Why do I have to stay in this stupid jar!?!
*arcana
Do I actually have to touch the card or something ?
Memes are the DNA of the soul they say. Welcome to the ranks or Persona users dude.
OOC: Want to pick your own persona or I could try to find one for you.
@Persona
so you wont go summoning people's shadow selves left and right, most likely.
@Migrant

oww i'm still sore from getting slammed against a wall. I appreciate the gesture though
If memes are good at one thing, it's diffusing the situation.
OOC: quick can someone tell me what the moon arcana represents again ???
OOC
Portrayed as two dogs howling at the Moon around a pool with a lobster in it, with two towers in the background, the Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness, illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious, and trickery. In tarot readings, it can also represent being attuned subconsciously to the world around, gaining the ability to sense things without being told about them or without anyone else knowing (which means that some identify this Arcana with psychic energy).

Personas of the Moon Arcana are usually mythological figures directly associated with the moon, are psychically-attuned figures, evil figures whose story involves treachery, or figures associated with illusion. They tend to align towards Physical Skills, while having average Magic stats.
OOC : Moon Tarot Card Meanings and Description. The Moon is the card of intuition, dreams and the unconscious. The Moon provides light as a reflection of the Sun, yet this light is dim, uncertain, and only vaguely illuminates our path as we journey toward higher consciousness.
I wouldn't do that...but when I see the weakness in a mortal heart I just get a bit excited...
OOC: had the wiki open for Migrant's arcana.

Personas of the Moon Arcana are usually mythological figures directly associated with the moon, are psychically-attuned figures, evil figures whose story involves treachery, or figures associated with illusion. They tend to align towards Physical Skills, while having average Magic stats.

Characters who are of the Moon Arcana are often similarly psychically-attuned, but a more common trend is their projection of their own fears and faults onto others (namely, the protagonist). They often tend to have trouble accepting themselves for who they are and, because of that fear, try to correspond to an ideal person. And like the Arcana, there is a hidden depth as to why they act in their behaviors.
OOC: GEEZE WE ALL DID IT AT ONCE!
OOC: I know that would happen damn it...
*knew
maybe like
the sandman????
OOC: lol
(Sandman's so weak though. Why not a trickster god that isn't Loki?)
OOC: K just took a quick look once again through the fate wiki and found two that decently fit. Merlin and Hohenheim.
OOC: Both of those are fanheckingtastic!
Who's hohenheim? I looked it up and just got anime stuff.
OOC: i'd go with merlin, as Mishima is the adviser type
(I like Merlin. Be our resident spell caster)
I vote merlin
@imtherealklib

OOC: I agree Merlin appears to be the best choice.
OOC: Yeah Merlin for sure.
OOC: I fifth for Merlin
Mishimans has gained the power to face hardship and obtains the Persona Merlin.
@3xcal1bur

OOC: Hohenheim was a legendary alchemist befitting his anime interpretation. He loved all mages and humans equally making that his main character trait. He also believed in the Holy Grail.
@imtherealklib
thanks man
*Looks stunned*

I can't believe that I actually managed to get a persona.
Congratulations @Mishimans!
*grins at you*
Hey, if the bear and a dog could do it, anyone can.
That said, I don't mean to undermine you obtaining a Persona. Congrats!
@3xcal1bur

*Grins back*

Guess who is using this persona in the next sin fight ... ME!
If a sense of self and bonds are all that it takes I don't see why it's so stunning. Be proud of that card. You earned it.
Those who possess ego can gain the power that is known as Persona.
@Yu-Narukami

Are you sure that you don't want payment for your services ? Cause I really owe you one and I still have an extra toaster left over.
@Mishimans
HAHA YEAH!
SHADOWS AND SINS BEWARE!
*holds up your hand*
HAHAHA!
@Yu-Narukami
Hello Narukami, I have heard of you giving 3xcal1bur's persona. Yet seen my shadow...
Wait, you have toasters? I completely forgot. Bring us some snacks next time. This works up an appetite.
OOC??: i gtg to bed sorry! I'll be back tomorrow!!
Bear, Dog, Cat.... Mishimans.
or maybe not idk
@Mishimans
Uh, it's okay, really...just happy to help.
@Nightstalker-Hunter
I saw your shadow in the TV world earlier, really creepy, started saying it was going to finish what Izanami started and then started talking in my head.
@Delta-M

Don't worry I got you guys covered with the snacks. I often do Leblanc cafe food runs after all.
@Mishimans
sweet!
Wait there's a shadow nightstalker?!
@Yu-Narukami
I have seen in running in the landscape when I was getting back my weapon back. Never thought it would become taken...What was the goal of Izanami?
@imtherealklib
Yes...even legends of the light have suppressed feelings. Some rejected it, but others accepted it, while others hid it.
Huh...well you look ridiculously powerful...so I don't look forward to dealing with your shadow.
On one hand I can't wait to try out my new persona, but on the other hand I don't want to be killed.

Hmm tough choices
Something tells me we'll need more than just us for that Shadow.
@imtherealklib
He is taken, but I am not...
I don't think this is a fight we're ready for...
@Nightstalker-Hunter
Izanami's goal was to fulfill humanities desires by shrouding the real world in fog and turning everyone into shadows. She believed that humanity desired to reject the truth and instead be enshrouded in an eternal fog.
@Yu-Narukami
Then my fears are true...it is attempting to take the shadows...and breaking them down to their true desires. The Taken king is back.
Well that's not good..
Um. Was there butterflies in persona 4? What are those? Or like represent?
I have no idea what that is, but it doesn't sound good.
*projects itself from the T.V.*

Correct, you dead thing. Not even the traveler's dead LIGHT will save you!
aaaAAAAH HOLY SHIT
Like Dredgen Yor I will turn you into the avatar of hate, malice and corruption! And this waste of a planet will me MINE! I WILL TAKE IT ALL!!!
BITCH YOU CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
@Alekos
OOC: The butterfly is an entity in the Phansite Lore, It's kind of evil.

http://phansite.wikia.com/wiki/Persona_(The_Butterfly)
Well damn guess the choice may already have been made for us.
Can one shadow be as bad as Izanami, though? I mean she was literally a goddess.
Maybe we should call in backup. Is Minato around? Or Boss?
Yu there's always Nyx
@Migrant
Boss is less active because they're struggling with schoolwork.
Oh what im present at the moment while watching Death Note anime (english dub)
*kneels before it*
No...you're wrong...get out of my head...GET OUT!!!

*Draws out Thron and shoots at the shadow but disappears*

I can feel it's presence...it's fingertips clawing on the surface of my mind!
Yu, is there anything we can do?!
@Nightstalker-Hunter
*grabs you by both shoulders*
Hold on! Don't let it get in!
Can I kill him?
To be honest, I've never really encountered a shadow like this before.
@Nightstalker-Hunter

Dude hold on I'm sure someone here can help you.

*Looks at everyone while mouthing help*
Way I see it we have two options. Take down that Shadow, or get everyone out now!
Damn it, I feel so useless...
*Rips of his mask and the third eye of the Hive breaks open from his forehead*

My eyes...I can see him...he is in the Dreadnaught...the warship...it weaved it's exsistance into the T.V. world. He must die...the regicide must be complete.
@Nightstalker-Hunter
You okay?

Oh god what's happening
This dude is having a full on breakdown. We will most likely have to do what Minato recomended and kill his shadow.
Well, should we go now?
If we don't go now will there even be a next time...?
Yup! Let's mess that thing up!
The Taken king is a god to the eyes of the hive. I lived in the moon when the disaster struck. I was in the Hell for eons...they took my ghost and my eyes, I had to graft my skull to the eye of an acolyte to live on. And ever since I hid among the light...desperately trying to walk among it again, then the Void called me, I lost my golden gun and arc blade, but in exchange I was given the Void Bow and a new ghost. I lost so many on the moon...I must avenge them.
Hrm... I'll stand with you guys. Whether you fight or flee. Or, at least try to.
Time to bullshit some persona fighting abilities
Huh? Who are you?
Uh, yeah let's go before this guy starts having another mental breakdown.
*Jumps into TV*
Emerson huh
Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOC: Anything magic works for merlin like the main 4 elements, concentrate, etc
STOP SHOVING NARUKAMI!
I think we'd all be flying by the seat of our pants here. That doesn't sound very Shadowey. *follows Yu wherever he's headed via that TV!*
Allons-y! *follows Yu*
I cannot risk anyone loosing you, I may not kill the shadow...but I can force it to retreat to it's ship. Only then I can recover.
*Lands on ass really hard* ow! Narukami threw me in
Alright, onward!
*Follows Yu into the TV*
*CRASH*
ahh, I still have to get used to that...
*lands feet first*

Holy crap! I did it! I landed! NICE!
Also, Minato, nice to meet you. I'm not a Persona-user, but I'm trying to help.
*barely had time to process the shove*

Ahhhhhhhhh

OOC: I'm probably going to use the basic skills for each of the element like Gary or ago nothing complicated
@Emerson
Your help is always welcome!
Ugh I could've gone in by myself!
*rolls over as he lands* Close enough I guess...

So where are we?
There's no time for that!
Nice to meet you Emerson
*hits the floor with a loud thud*

Yu next time a fair bit of warning would be much appreciated.
You okay, @Mishimans?
I guess your right Yosu-I mean Mishimans.
*materialized into the T.V. world*
I told you...you can't kill the taken king

*points to the ship in the sky*

That is where the king resides...we cannot kill it, making it retreat is the only option.
Can't we just get you to accept your shadow like usual?
OOC: And now that we know a ship is involved, I cannot avoid posting this. Click to load youtube video
@Nightstalker-Hunter God or not, we won't lose. We can do this, together.
*Jumps down and has Satan catch me, before leaping off of it to land from a more comfortable position.*

Don't think I'll be left behind that easily.
I don't care if they're a king or not, nobody messes with our world.
@3xcal1bur

My bones aren't broken so I'm good to go I guess.
God is probably the least concerning thing this could turn out to be.
My body is ready
@Mishimans
Thank god, it would be bad to be one man down.
Fuck religion, that god is going fucking downtown.
It's an avatar of vengence and malice I have accepted it so many times.
*holds a arcana card Tower*

I call upon you Alak-Hul

*The Dark Blade summons from the ashes of the earth and kneels to it's summoner*

He was my persona for the first time. But it returned time after time.
I'm revved up now! Ready when you are!
Looks like we about to fight royalty.

What are you aethiest or something?
OH! Well this is interesting...you still have a shadow after accepting it and getting a persona?!
Minato, don't act like you haven't killed a God, too.
@MinatoArisato14

Do you even still believe in God after all the stuff that happened to you ???
@imtherealklib I hear it does happen on occasion. Pretty rare though.
Once you kill the King...there will always be a new one to take it's place.
Well, first question. How do we get up there?
Oh, @Emerson here.

*passes a spear*

It's not much, but at least you can defend yourself.
@MinatoArisato14
Nah, I just wanted to say something
I n t e n s e
Oh, uh, thanks Klib.
You sure you don't need this?
@Nightstalker-Hunter
Well if it hasn't destroyed the world yet, what makes this attempt any different?
@3xcal1bur

Well then hun you did good.

I got shivers just from hearing that badass line.
Can't we just launch some magic at him or something a la Harry Potter style.

I assume a fireball can cover the distance?
@Emerson nah, watch.

Come Leonidas! I need a spear!

*summons Leonidas who procures a spear and passes it to me*

Boom. Granted, not as strong as his spear, and they disappear after a while...but it's a nifty trick.
Or maybe I should tell him the truth...
Let's get focused everyone. Set that blood to a boil so we can knock this shadow into next Sunday.
Huh. That's a pretty useful trick.
Actually... do you know how many you can summon at once?
Yeah!!
Messiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heat Riser on all party members!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's get charged up first team
*Messiah charges everyone with tremendous power*
Buffs, check. Blood, boiled. Persona, obtained. I'm set to go!
@Migrant
There is a hull breach on the side of the ship, made by the Skyburners. I will find it and signal it with my bow. Until then stay here
*Fades out into the Dreadnaught*

*Telepathicly talking to @Yu-Narukami*
Please contact Rise, I need to find the three weapon nodes that powers the main weapon.
But we don't even have a way up, do we? How are we gonna reach it?
@Emerson at least 4 before the copies become useless. Practice makes perfect though, so maybe more in the future.

And alright! Let's get ready!

Leonidas! Charge up!
Oh. Well nevermind then...
But in all actuality
Let's make sure nobody in our party gets killed ok?
@Yu-Narukami
Got it.
@imtherealklib Hmm. I have an idea for a future strategy now...
@MinatoArisato14
MINATO WAIT!
*Rushes back and grabs him back to the ground*

If anyone thing flys by it, it will nuke the entire world.

*Returns to the ship*
@Nightstalker-Hunter
Got it.
OOC: Accidentally used my own name lol.
MESSIAH!!!!!!!!! DEBILITATE!!!!!!!!
Time to get focused on this fight

*Summons Merlin and casts concentrate*

Huh what?
A nuke huh
Nukes??? That ship must be fucking loaded! But then again what did I even expect.
This'll help!
*Uses Rasetsu Ofuda"
*in a bloodcurdling roar*
EVERYONE STOP!!!!

Ooook.
Stop, what're they talking about.
Ow my ears
Let's leave it to him right now. We should focus on preparing.

@Emerson what's the idea?
If we're noticed, it sets off a nuke that'd destroy the whole TV World or something. So... I guess strategy session for now?
Patience is a virtue my friends. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
Someone is pissed
Well I guess we're leaving
@imtherealklib
I doubt it'd work here. But, I'm noting it for future fights.
Essentially, you'd summon a massive ammount of spears as an intimidation tactic. It wouldn't be able to do much damage overall, but it could create an opening.
So we know we've got buffs covered, but what about healing? Neither Ramses or Satan has any healing abilities. Well, Ramses kind of does, but it's a last resort type of thing.
Let the hunter disable the ship, and until then return to you're mortal realm. He will notify you when gets the ship's weapon nodes.
Does Merlin have healing capability?
Oh yeah, kinda like Mishiman's Shadow did with those arms.

Um... healing? I don't have any healing. Only Psi attacks, physical attacks, and Agility boosts.

I do have some bandages, but those are piddly at best even with cognitive boosts.
I have healing items. Mostly Recov-R: 100mg and a few Somas.
@3xcal1bur

Oh apparently I can the spell Dia ...

I forgot to check what I could do
Wait.... return? Already!? Geeze, this is like some actual dungeon or something...
@Yu-Narukami
And YOU Narukami...

*Kneels down*

I thank you for making my lord regain the courage to face the demons that he had locked away for so long.
Ok, then. Traesto!
*A light engulf the party transporting them back to the real world*
Well all that was something ...
@Alak-Hul
It's no problem, we all need to face our inner darkness from time to time.
Wait I prefer to wal-

*in surrounded by light*

Urf...still...not used...to teleporting...
I guess we'll be able to gather the rest of P.H.A.N.S for this, then...

*pauses*

I wonder if this maybe has to do with Gluttony.
@imtherealklib
Holding your breath helps.
It's 1:00 am and I have school tomorrow So ima leave. Don't do anything of epic proportions without me, ok?
This seems unrelated for now but...
@Migrant
Not sure what the connection to gluttony would be, but we'll just have to see.
OOC Night X.
It'd certainly make things easier if it was. Though I suppose around here multiple threats popping up at once shouldn't be seen as bizarre.
I don't think that gluttony really had anything to do with this situation just now.

If anything waht just happened could be related to sloth.
Should we debrief?
I didn't think new age Personas even still had the Traesto skill. Wild Cards really are something. Well, good work across the board everyone. I guess we can get some other's awakened another time.

All of these unrelated threats have me slightly concerned. Good thing they don't seem to have a desire to coordinate.
OOC: I am also going to have to leave for tonight. It's 1am and I have some morning stuff to attend to. Night everyone.
OOC Night Mich
Ya, I'm pretty tired after fighting so many shadows today.
Last thing we need is a few people's personal troubles deciding to unite, and attack while a sin is wandering about, while the Phantom Thieves are out stealing a heart.
That's why we need more persona users, though I guess the fact that their all inexperienced might put us at a disadvantage.
Clearly there must be training in additon to awakenings.
True, we should hold training sessions for the new users. Myself included of course. But I liked Emerson's idea for a spear manipulation technique.
If I might speak up, I'd... like to get a Persona.
That said, it is late, and we're all worn down...
Looks like we'll need some training to prepare for the coming trials. The T.V. world always seems open. And I hear a place called Tartarus has resurfaced or something... Mementos should be ok to explore too.
Perhaps, we'll help you overcome the darkness in your heart tomorrow then.
I've got a bit more fight left in me. Granted the TV world is occupied. Yu and I have been to the metaverse though, so we should be able to get back.
I guess I could keep going.
Well good luck I'll be lurking in other threads if you need me so see ya
OOC: Don't really have anything to do tomorrow anyway. Plus I'm in a different time zone so its only like 10 for me.
OOC: I finished up my work for the night, so now if something pops up I deal with it. So i'm basically free.
(I can go for a little longer. My final isn't until night time, so I can sleep in.)
OOC: Up to you really @Emerson.
OOC I'm fine with doing it now. It's only 10 for me too.
OOC: I think I'm going to use stuff like this and the fights against the Sins in my Tabletop persona campaign.
OOC: Ok, so I just need an idea for the shadow personality and palace/dungeon setting.
OOC: Jealous that you have the people to do a tabletop.
@imtherealklib
OOC: If you need help writing shadow designs or dialogue I might be able to help.
(@Migrant we could get people together from here and do it over discord and roll20 or something.)
OOC: I'll try and find the thread I had with the info in it. And it would all be done digitally over tabletop so I'd be more than happy to have you on board Migrant, and sure thing Persona.
OOC
-Afraid of not being accepted by others
-Worried about losing their friends over time
-Afraid of being alone in the world

Setting is your discretion. I don't have ideas for it.
Me exactly Emerson
