~::Mayonaka Arena - P1-Grand Prix::~
Yasogami High(?) (Gymnasium) - Inside the TV  A strange replica of the Yasogami High School campus inside the television, travel throughout the school is much more difficult due to invisible barriers preventing easy access to other areas of the school. Though it appears similar to the actual school on the outside, running through the hallways can seem to go on forever, and just when it seems as though you're on the right track, the invisible walls block your path and redirect you to wherever the person holding the tournament wishes you to go. And all throughout the building there is a pervasive air of danger, a heavy feeling not unlike the television world's fog or the atmosphere in the Dark Hour. Innocent it may look, but dangerous it most certainly is...and with monitors and a PA system lining nearly every nook and cranny of the school, it's clear that somebody not only wants to see what's going on throughout the event...but they want everyone else to know that they are watching, too. Why? Because the ongoing event at the school is the P1-Grand Prix! A desperate fighting program pitting friend against friend in combat until the one true champion is revealed! Who is behind it and why they put together such an elaborate event is the mystery everyone is trying to solve...but only one person can reach the summit and discover the truth! It's Investigation Team versus Investigation Team, but they're not the only ones inside the TV...the only question is, which one will still be standing when it's over?!
...
This battleground is located in the Gymnasium of the School; monitors line the walls, chairs are stacked to the ceiling all around the outsides of the gym floor, and strange, shadow-like creatures line the outskirts of the area as though they were an audience. They feel like shadows, but what they truly are is unknown...could they be shadows? Shades? Wraiths? Something more?
Win your battle and you may find out, but only the winner can move on!
Will you be the victor? Quote: *~:: P1-Grand Prix [Round 1] ::~*
Nix Gallen vs. Amagai Genji
AND!
Kusuri Keiraku vs. Chie Satonaka

Plus the area she was in wasn't the Lobby, it was Yasogami's gym!? Though the way it looked was very different as well, where did all those chairs come from? "Oh no.. Why did we all get separated?

 The the Tormented Two-Faced Juggernaut, Kusuri Keiraku
Ugh....What happened? Kusuri thought, her head a bit foggy as she looked up.
"This is....The Gym?" Kusuri muttered quietly, looking around. She remembered going into the Television....Right after Soji had handed her some strange item.....
But...what happened..? Where is everyone? she thought to herself, gripping her fists together, holding a Large Axe. Though her Gloves were usually better for this, she figured she could use something with a bit more...power, for the moment. She didn't like this...she didn't like it at all...and if she had the right idea.....
She was going to have to fight...Soon....
"Bring it on.." she muttered to herself, gripping the axe, and bringing it up. She didn't want to fight if she didn't have to, but... Quote: Weapon: Gozuki's Axe. (Start the Battle with Power-Charge) Armor: Devour low-level fire attacks to replenish Health (Drain Agi) and repel mid-level fire attacks (Maragi, Agilao). Accessory: Successful physical strikes leave ragged cuts which [Bleed] (Acts like poison in that it drains small amounts of Health constantly, but cannot be cured by typical antidotes.

Amagai Genji, the Investigation Team's Gentle Fist
"...You see the surface, but my eyes see more...I see your intentions and fears. I see what you truly are..."It hurt. Well, it might be more accurate to say that just about everything hurt. He could remember opening his eyes in the dark last night and hearing the clicking of a door, the faint beeping of the monitor beside his bed, and while his body had been mending well, he hadn't been conscious long enough to have a firm grasp on things when a feeling of being jerked up and out of his bed and then falling, down, down, until a vicious thump against a solid floor send lightning bolts of white-hot pain through his body. He hadn't seen the show last night, but he remembered words that had been whispered just before he fell, though he didn't know who had said them or why they stuck inside of his mind, lingering around like a distant, wispy sound. Like smoke inside of his mind, reflected in mirrors so he couldn't even tell if he had really heard them or if he was just imagining it...but he still remembered them. 'Are you just going to lay here while your friends fight one another?' he heard it whisper, though he couldn't say who said it or why...but that sentence alone had been enough to make him stir, to twist his insides and drag his still-healing body to its feet within his hospital gown, walking with half-steps that shuddered with pain through his rigid, taut frame. His friends were fighting one another...why? Who could possibly turn such a close group against one another? How strongly were they fighting each other...?
But it was the second part that hurt, that drove him to move and do more...would he just lay there while they fought? Could he do nothing to stop this...? He had to try, even if he couldn't...he had to find them...find Soji, and Minori, and Nix...especially Nix. She had been trying so very hard to gain he confidence and open up to her friends, he had noticed...even though she never said anything, he noticed. To fight those same friends now, he thought...it would be so hard, wouldn't it? No, he had to stop this...whatever it was...so his feet padded across the gym and past a wall of chairs...he couldn't even quite tell where he was, some ghostly apparition of Yasogami High School? Only his eyes could see the strange aura, the malice surrounding them...there was only one place so evil that he knew of, and that was the Tower where it all would go down and had gone down months ago. Babel. "Hang on...guys..." he bit out as he winced, clutching a hand to his stomach as his gray eyes rose to take in a familiar lump of snow-colored hair, "I'm...huh?" He strained his eyes, but there was no mistake in that peaceful, kind aura. She wasn't just an illusion, was she? It was...he let out a breath and strained a smile. "Nix...? You're all right! Thank...*cough*...thank goodness." He hacked once, but was standing upright in a minute, walking slowly across the gym while trying to hide the trouble it gave him. He had found one of the members of his team, and that was something. At least now he could protect one of them from the fighting. He thought, at least...until that bear began to speak through the monitor. Friends fighting friends? 1st Round Opponent? What was it talking about?
"What is the...meaning of this?" he tried to ask, but the bear was gone before he knew it. Now it was the face of another familiar girl, goading them on. Did they...really think they would fight? That Nix would fight him or that he would raise a palm to her? No way...he couldn't...he would not! "Nix, ignore this imposter...I can *cough!*...I can see...that this isn't the real..."

Ƞix Gallen X ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ As Nix was looking around she heard a familiar voice, one she was hoping she'd hear while in this place. She turned to see Genji, awake and looking at least in decent shape. It was clear he was still in bad shape but at least he had woken up. "Genji? I could say the same to you! I was so worried when I saw you weren't in the hospital and-" She stopped when Teddie appear on the screen, announcing that it was the first round and Rise showing on the screen to urge them to fight.
What kind of place was this!? Trying to make friends fight one another. Nix was starting to open up to everyone, trying her best to let them know she trusted them. So how did they expect her to hurt them in some stupid tournament? "An imposter? That's not the real Teddie? Well that's good.. Oh! Soji asked me to give this to you. He says it's a token of all of our friendships, to help us remember we're never alone." The snowy haired girl walked over to her pink haired friend to hand over the Shrine Charm. After it was in his hands she walked off towards what she thought was the exit. "I saw we should just walk out of here. We don't have to fight ri-!" Before she could walk out the door it felt like she walked straight into a wall and was bounced away but.. Nothing was there. "What the?.. There isn't anything there but I can't get through." ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ♫ Quote: Anglachel the Elf Blade: Deals double damage against pure shadows and demons, but also if damage is reflected onto allies.

Amagai Genji, the Investigation Team's Gentle Fist
"...You see the surface, but my eyes see more...I see your intentions and fears. I see what you truly are..."It was hard to walk, but for now he could rest easy, having found someone else on his team that he had been searching for. He let out a small breath in spite of the television's taunting, and seemed more relieved that Nix was already looking for a way out of the room by the time that he had thought to convince her that their captors weren't who they said they were. ...But he was uneasy, something about this place making him feel walled in, watched, nervous...and when the invisible barrier sent Nix back and away from the door, he knew that his suspicions were confirmed. This place was strange, and they needed to be more careful if they were going to get through this mess safely. They needed a plan. His eyes flashed again, looking around the room...but something strange caught his attention as he looked back at Nix, an unusual...feeling, or aura about her. Was that...no, it couldn't be, could it? That strange aura about her almost felt like she was...an enemy? "Senpai, be careful! There's something strange going on around you...I can detect a dangerous aura around you," the berry-haired heir warned as he extended a hand in her direction, his following words interrupted by the sudden turn of the girl back towards him and the strangely fierce look in her eye...directed straight at him, "I can see it..."
"See? ...Yeah right. You know, I really hate how arrogant you can be about those eyes of yours," the words from Nix's voice sounded like her, except in the tone...the look in her eye...it was like she was an entirely different person! And the aura bout her had grown absolutely fierce, "You think you can see everything? But you couldn't even see that you were too weak to protect yourself. ...You can't protect anyone with those hands of yours. And without power? Your eyes are as useless as you are."
He couldn't believe what he was hearing...was this really the same Nix who had fought beside him? That he had helped at the Hilltop just a couple days ago? Something twisted inside of his chest... "Nix...senpai?' he spoke her name, but rather than answering him kindly as he was used to, her hand seemed to drift over to her sword...eyes flashing, "What are you...saying...?" He couldn't understand what had changed...was she being possessed, was this some sort of...'That's it! It's an illusion...I can see something inside of...'
"Stop looking at me like that! You're disgusting..." her voice spat with venom that he could never have imagined coming from inside of her...but it wasn't her, no, it couldn't be! He couldn't listen, even if it hurt...! "You can't even make up your mind about who you want to be! You can't protect your family's future! You're just a burden...so just shut up and die already!"
His stomach hurt...his brain swam with the vicious words that she had said to him, but he pushed them down into his stomach and ignored the pain in his chest...and throughout his entire body. A cough shook him, but nonetheless, he felt himself sliding into a familiar stance. "Nix...senpai..." he ran the back of his hand over his lips and ignored the taste of copper, eyes flashing, "I'll protect you...whatever is inside of you, I'll force it out...get ready!"

Ƞix Gallen X ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ "It looks like we might have to find another way out, Genji.. Genji?" Nix turned to look at Genji after not hearing any kind of response. She thought he would have an idea on what to do but he didn't say anything, at least he didn't say an idea. "What are you looking at me for? Can't you think of anything on your own?" He snipped, his tone and demeanor turning very cold and sharp. This wasn't how he was just moments ago. She knew he was in pain but he didn't have to be so rude. "Wha..? Genji, what are yo-" "Genji. Genji. Genji. That's all you seem to be saying these last few days.. Geez. I can't believe I had to run into you first. You're just going to be dead weight during this whole thing since you're such a coward." His words seemed to plunge and twist into her chest. Never before did she think he was capable of saying such hurtful things. The pink haired boy always seemed peaceful and kind, not this uncaring cruel figure. It was as if he was a different person. "Y.. You don't mean that." "Oh I don't? I can see what you really are remember? You are a scared little coward so.. I'll do us all a favor and kill you. They'll thank me later." Genji got into a familiar stance, was he really serious about killing her!?
"You said.. Something about an imposter.. There must be something controlling you or.. Or something because you would never say that!" Nix took some steps back to put distance between them, remembering that he fought in close range. Genji was badly hurt still but she couldn't stand there and let him kill her. She needed to stop him and figure out what's controlling him! "Forgive me.. Amagai-kun. I'll heal you as soon as this is over.. Persona!" The blue card appeared and was shortly crushed in her hand, a large bolt of lightning flying towards her friend. 'Please.. Please don't attack. I don't want to fight you more than I have to! We're supposed to be friends.' She thought, fighting back the tears that tried to fill her eyes. It hurt to have to raise a hand against her friend, especially when he was still badly injured. ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ♫ Quote: Zionga: (Target: Genji) ( Mind Charge, Elec Boost, Elec Amp) Anglachel the Elf Blade: Deals double damage against pure shadows and demons, but also if damage is reflected onto allies.

"...You see the surface, but my eyes see more...I see your intentions and fears. I see what you truly are..."He couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he couldn't deny t hat he was hearing it, either. Whatever this was, whatever was going on, it was wrong...and while he had told himself he would fight, he would do whatever it took to protect this person in front of him, he didn't believe for a second that she would attack him (and couldn't make the move to attack her, either) until she had broken off her cruel taunts to attack him with an even crueler lightning bolt! His gray eyes widened just a moment before the bolt crashed down, his crossed arms hardly an adequate barrier against the strike of lightning. Betrayal and hurt flashed for a moment across his eyes when he recovered, skin on his already-injured arms singing at the electricity, and as he looked at the girl he could only see her as the one who had broken their unspoken promise to support one another as members of the team...she had been the one to throw the first blow. Why? "Nix...senpai...why are you...?" even if something inside of her was causing an illusion, something in this room, could it have really caused her to attack him? Was she doing this of her own accord, or...was she being controlled?! Even with his eyes, he couldn't quite see the truth of this just yet; what he did know was that his body hurt, burned, and if he didn't take action soon he would give in to his old wounds and whatever new compounded. He didn't want to do this! Why?! Why was he being forced to...
"Gentle Fist Style..." his voice was low, a painful resignation within as an empty palm extended towards the girl, his legs settling into a stance once more in preparation...why did it have to come to this? His gray eyes narrowed in pain, but his Byakugan was already active...his palms gaining the power that he wanted nothing less than to use, "...Empty Palm...Strike!" The Gym wasn't large and there wasn't a lot of distance between them, pushing all of the energy he could into his feet he was before her in a flash, body stretched into a side-ways stance with one palm extended out between them to throw a blunt strike against the sternum at the bottom of her chest. His was not the way of the Heavy Fist which sought to damage the opponent's body, nor was he of the Killing Fist which sought to take lives. His was a palm that he used to save people...to save Nix from this possession, even at the cost of his own life! He could take the strikes she gave him, on top of what he had already suffered, and he would do it without hesitation if it would save her, protect her...his leg swept to one side as he smoothly danced back into his stance at a range practically eye-to-eye with her. He wouldn't let her take distance from him, his athleticism and speed his ally...for as long as his body would hold, that was.
"Hurt me all you can, monster," he bit out from his stance, eyes flashing as crimson trickled from the corner of his lip, "I will win without hurting my friend...I will save Senpai!"Quote: Byakugan: [Description in Profile] [Negate Elec Amp]

Ƞix Gallen X ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ Nix had no time to react when Genji closed the distance between them and slammed a palm against her chest. It knocked the wind out of her, making her stumble back from the strike. He was still faster than she thought, even in his condition he had the upper hand. What caught her attention was the blood that trickled from his mouth. Did she cause that? Did she really just make his injuries that much worse? What was she thinking attacking him like that! This was her friend and she really just hurt him..
Tears welled up in Nix's eyes and she took a step back, still hardly believing what she was seeing. Was he really going to push himself, take her blows, fight her.. Even if it killed him? It was clear doing this was killing him! He needed to stop before it was too late but he wouldn't listen before. There had to be something she could do that would let him know that he didn't need to fight anymore. The Fake Teddie did say this was Round One so if Genji won then he would be forced to fight the others. She had to convince him to stop and give up so he wouldn't push himself to death. The snowy haired girl summoned her Persona but instead of launching an attack, she healed him.
"Stop it!!.. Stop fighting, Genji! Please.. I don't want to hurt you!" Nix called out, hoping he would hear her this time, that he wouldn't say anything cruel again. Guilt and worry was filling her chest, making tears run down her face. She didn't want to hurt him anymore, she wanted to save him. "I'm sorry I attacked you but.. Can't you see you're killing yourself!?" ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ♫ Quote: Diarama: (Target: Genji) Anglachel the Elf Blade: Deals double damage against pure shadows and demons, but also if damage is reflected onto allies.

Ugh. That had to be one of the worst trips into the TV she'd ever had. She sat up, squeezing her eyes shut. She placed her hand to her forehead, waiting for everything to stop spinning before she finally rose to her feet. She grimaced and glanced around, a frown making its way onto her face. "The...gym?" She asked quietly, slowly raising an eyebrow. How in the world had she gotten here? Where were the others? "This is weird.." She frowned, folding her arms over her chest. This had never happened before. Well, she'd been on her on before, but that was because she had gone charging on ahead. But this was different. She was completely on her own here. It...didn't really make sense. The jarring trip into the TV, and now she was here on her own.
Nothing seemed to be making sense. She glanced around again before noticing she wasn't alone at all. There was someone else! Relieved, she started to move closer, raising her hand in greeting. "H-hey!" She grinned slightly before her confused expression returned. "Do you know what's going on here? I mean, where's everybody else?"

Kusuri turned at hearing a familiar voice, and waved a bit.
"Satonaka-senpai." Kusuri called lightly, her axe being lowered to rest on the ground. "I...have a feeling we all got separated when we went into the Television, but..."
She had no idea what was going on...or why they all seperated. Much less why they were in what resembled the School Gymnasium! Ugh, this sort of thing hurt her head....but she could hazard a guess at what it was.
"Have you seen anyone else, Satonaka?" Kusuri added back to the spunky brunette, raising a hand to her head in thought.

Amagai Genji, the Investigation Team's Gentle Fist
"...You see the surface, but my eyes see more...I see your intentions and fears. I see what you truly are..."One strike and already he could feel the sickness in his stomach growing a little more intense; just putting his hand against Nix's body in such an unpleasant way gave him a feeling of wrongness that was hard to ignore. He had steeled himself entirely, told himself he would do what he could to push the being inside of the girl out of her, or whatever it was...he was sure that he would solve it. Still, nothing could prepare him for the feeling of actually striking her...even if it was with his Gentle Fist style, trying to avoid damaging her too badly. He stayed within range of her, prepared for the next attack to come his way...his intention was to counter and land another one, but he still didn't like the feeling of it. Her words sent his way remained sharp, but he could barely hear them. His fingers tensed and he pushed down the blood and bile threatening to rise in his throat in anticipation of the next move...but that blow never came. Surprise washed over him with a wave of relief; not enough nearly to restore him to health, but enough to make him feel slightly better, to mend the freshest of his wounds. "N...Nix-senpai? Why did you..." he tried to draw a meaningful answer from her, but the illusion still prevented him from hearing.
There had been no lie in her actions, however...that was the kind senpai that he knew. Was it possible that she simply couldn't bring herself to attack him anymore, in spite of the illusion? Then what the Hell was he doing fighting back? He waited for her to move and twisted his body away from her recoiling form, sliding his feet into a stance at a fair distance from her. But his fingers relaxed, his gray eyes narrowing to find the truth within her. Was she fighting the possession? Was she even possessed at all? No, no it wasn't possession...but what was it? What could it even be?
"Senpai..." his voice was ragged, a cough lacing his confusion and the desperation to understand, "...what is it that you're fighting?"

Ƞix Gallen X ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ Even though Genji spat more hurtful words at her he wasn't moving to attack. Maybe Nix really got through to him? Though she cringed when he snapped once again, asking why she was refusing to fight and acting like a weakling. "Why?.. I don't want you to die!" Suddenly the hostile feeling she got from Genji vanished, it was like how it was when she first found him. Though before she could speak an all to familiar voice filled the room. "Now this is just pathetic. That's not how a match is supposed to go!" A figure stepped out of the shadows to look at the two friends but was mainly focusing on Nix. The person looked exactly like her save for it's bright yellow eyes and the different tone to it's voice. "Can't you do anything right? You're supposed to FIGHT him, not heal him! 'Can't you see you're killing yourself?' 'I don't want you to die!' And you say that after you attacked him.. That's how you always are. Just one brave moment and then you break down." The Shadow hissed, the malice clear in it's voice as it stared Nix down. The real Nix was almost struck speechless at what she was hearing. Why did this person look just like her and why was it saying such things!? "Th.. That's not true! I know I attacked him but-" "He was trying to kill you right? Then why did you decide to heal someone who threatened to do that? You should've kept fighting and put him out of his misery! Look at him! The poor fool is half-dead already. Even a coward like you could've beaten him!" "Put him out of his..? No! I would never do such a thing! He's my friend! Friends don't kill each other! A.. And I'm not a coward! Why are you saying these lies while wearing my face!?" Nix snapped, fear slipping into her mind as the shadow kept talking. She would never want to kill Genji or any of her friends but.. Maybe she was a coward and couldn't do anything right. The Shadow started to laugh after hearing what Nix had said in return as if it heard something very humorous. "Friends? When did you start believing in that? Friends are people who pretend to be kind in order to use others until they are no longer useful. Then we are thrown away like trash.." The shadow's expression grew from it's hateful glare to a sorrowful, painful frown. "Yes.. it's better to be alone. When you're alone no one can get close to us. And we know what happens.. When people get close to us. They BEAT us! Throw us into walls, kick us, punch us, ignore our pleas for help! What kind of friend or family does that!?" It's voice cracked as it spoke and grimaced as if recalling the actions it spoke of. Nix's eyes widened as it mentioned the abuse. How did this fake know about her past? Only Soji, Kusuri, Faust, Amelia, and Minori knew about that part of her life. "B.. Beatings?.. I don't know what you're-" "Stop acting like it didn't happen!! This is why people say you're so distant! You never open up to others and allow them to try and understand you. But.. It does make sense.. People can be scary when they get too close. We don't want to get hit again." The shadow softly sniffled as it seemed to cry after exploding at Nix, exposing the secret she always kept hidden deep within herself. "They.. They didn't need to know! And how do you know all this!? I hardly told anyone!" Nix's fears were realized when the shadow finally answered her question. "How do I know?.. Why am I wearing your face? Haven't you figured it out you pathetic, spineless, little coward? I am you. I am your Shadow, all the thoughts and feelings you keep hidden away.. I am your true self." Those words floored her completely. What did she mean her true self? Was this really how she felt? "What's the matter? Still can't speak your mind?.. This is why your friends don't trust you." Wait.. What did it say? The snowy haired girl stared at her 'Shadow' forgetting that Genji was there to witness the whole thing. "Heh.. Now I have your attention. Your friends abandoned you in here. Left you behind to die in this place while they go off without a care in the world. You are nothing but a burden to them. No one needs a person around like you. You have no friends!"What Nix's 'Shadow' said didn't sound like something she would normally say or think but..Was that really all true? Was that how she was? 'Do I.. Really have no friends?' Doubt was starting to cloud her thoughts as tears came into her eyes once more. Her chest ached as she felt that crushing feeling of being completely alone. Was she truly betrayed by the people she called her friends? Did they really see her as nothing more than a burden? "Th-.. That's not true. You're not-" A memory then flashed in her mind. It was Soji handing her an item, a glass marble. The girl reached into her pocket to look at it. 'A token of our friendships. That I'm never alone. Did he really mean that?' "Well~? Are you going to finally speak your mind? .. Speak you coward!!" Her copy snapped, growing impatient when it came so close to making Nix finally doubt her friends. Nix closed her eyes and thought about the friends she made, the bonds between them and how far she had come. 'Wait.. What was I thinking!?' The snow capped girl looked up at her 'shadow' the glass marble still in her grasp. "I will admit.. That some of the things you said are true. I can be a coward at times, I am afraid to get close to others and there are times when I feel like I can do nothing right but.. I will not let you stand there and tell me such lies about my friends!! I know that they would never abandon me, they have helped me through so much and I wouldn't be here without them. You are me but I refuse to accept those lies!"The Shadow Nix's expression twisted in rage, why didn't it work?! She came so close! So close!! It unleashed a sharp shriek as electricity started to arc and jump about her body. "They are not lies! I am YOU! I'm telling you the truth that they betrayed you! But fine.. If you won't listen then I'll kill you!" Nix took a deep shaky breath as she watched the copy explode with rage. It seemed set on attacking and killing her but this was a fight she refused to lose! "Not if I beat you first! I'll show you the power they have given me! Persona!"The tarot card shattered in Nix's hand and her Persona appeared before her but something happened. The marble glowed in her hand and her Persona shattered right before her eyes. Did she lose her power?! Just as soon as it shattered, it started to rebuild itself at an explosive rate. A large dragon took form before her, her new Persona. 'I am Aion, dragon of the Arcane.. Call my name and my power is yours to command.' The Persona vanished as the card appeared before the girl once again. "I summon you.. Aion!" A powerful bolt of lightning crashed against the Shadow, sending it flying back.. This was only the beginning. ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ♫ Quote: Nix overcame a personal trial and has gained the Persona, Aion! OOC: This is part one. ;>> Feel free to post if you want. I'll work on part two tomorrow. *looks at time* Technically later today. Enjoy~.

Amagai Genji, the Investigation Team's Gentle Fist
"...You see the surface, but my eyes see more...I see your intentions and fears. I see what you truly are..."He still couldn't quite see whether or not Nix was truly in control of her body when he pulled back from attacking, but he could see from her reluctance to attack him the truth in her actions. This wasn't possession...this was illusion! And no sooner had he made the distinction between them with his eyes than did the whole thing drop, the malicious aura surrounding the girl fading, only to be replaced by a pulsating aura...something terrible and strong opposite from her. It wore her face, he could see it plainly, and the words that it spoke to the girl made it clear that this threat was more than psychological. This figure was powerful, attacking her mind while harboring the power to significantly damage her body. But from what he had heard, this sort of being was supposed to be called a shadow, right? Wearing her face with those golden eyes, taunting her about her fears; he listened to the way that it spoke and everything matched up with what he knew about the figures that emerged from his friends from the stories that had been told...he matched it up with the Shades and the normal shadows that they encountered inside Babel...and none of it made any sense to him! One thing did make sense, however...this thing was trying to get to her, to hurt her, to make her doubt herself and she nearly did. Even as her confidence began to wane, however, his voice broke through the silence and called out to her. She couldn't allow herself to be deceived like this! And he wouldn't let her...
"Nix-senpai, you don't have to listen to this thing!" he called out, taking a shaky step in the direction of the two Nix figures and then another, "You're stronger than it thinks...you're always taking action for others, even when it hurts yourself. You're even trying to protect me now, when this monster wanted us to fight one another. ...To use your fists to protect can be hard...harder than using them to hurt others! I know...I've spent my whole life afraid of the art my grandfather taught me, while respecting what it could do. But he taught me that to fight to protect the people you love, the place you care about, isn't weakness...that is real strength! And Senpai...Nix...you are strong!" Even without his words, though, she seemed to understand the truth...and as she looked at an item inside of her hand he could feel the power inside her begin to change. His eyes widened, glancing down at his pocket...an item he swiftly pulled into his shaking hand as he looked over at the snow-haired girl and envisioned her power, believing in her strength...and the strength of all of his friends. Was this...was this gift...a symbol of their power? A symbol of their bonds?
'Chin up, Amagai. You've got to save me from boredom at the next big dinner, right?'
'Amagai-san...I'll fight with you, even if I can't be there, I'm fighting with you...'
'...We've still got a lot to talk about, right? Don't give up yet...'
'GEEEEENNNJIIIIII! LET'S GO GET SOME BAAAAAABEEESSS!!!'
'I'd love to run some tests on those eyes of yours...but you know, it would be a shame if you died now before we got to know one another better, don't you think?'
'Hey, it's me Karu...let's go get some Aiya's when this is over, yeah?'
'Don't even think about holding back on this thing. Do you even know how sad Nix would be if you died on her?'
'You heard the woman...but you know, you're a lot stronger than this, aren't you? Those eyes of yours can see that much, I'm sure...'
...
'Damn, dude...you've really got it rough for a newbie! But hey...you're really tough for hanging in there like that. I'm not sure I could last the way you did against those Shades and keep on...'
'Amagai-kun...everyone believes in your strength. And we need your power, so...you can fight a little longer, right?'
'Yeah, fight on! Yukiko's right, you know? Your power is special, and we'll do all we can to protect you from now on, so...do you think you can keep going?'
'If you ain't got the power, then you just gotta become stronger, right?! But that power isn't going to come from your fists, man...it's gotta come from inside of you.'
'You have to accept your strengths and weaknesses alike. But you cannot be crippled by your own analysis. You have to believe in who you are...'
'Even if you aren't sure who you should be...all you've got to do is choose the you that you like best! Decide for yourself, and just GO FOR IT! RAAAWR!'
...
'Genji-kun...you really are strong, you know? Please, keep fighting...I believe in you! And you're not alone in this!'
...
'...We all believe in you. You won't die so easily, so...thank you...'
...
"Per...so...na"
...
About the body of Genji Amagai a white power swirled, his eyes closed as his fist clenched at his side...wrapped up in her showdown with the shadow, Nix might not have noticed it herself...but the being standing as her opposite noticed. Its eyes flashed dangerously, turning in his direction only to meet with a steely gray...an almost preternatural calm about the teen masking the simmering power and emotion boiling beneath the surface of his body. Here, before him, was an enemy who had turned them against one another and manipulated Nix, toyed with her emotions, and threatened to hurt the both of them...here was an enemy that was made for his eyes to see! And there was no illusion left when he looked before him, he could not see any shape but this near-formless mass of slightly humanoid chaos and blackness, an aura more terrifying and uncertain than anything he could recall having set eyes upon before. And yet in the face of his foe he did not shudder or waver, his palm extending into that dagger-like pose that was so familiar to his Gentle Fist; his enemy seemed to suddenly spike its energy, interest piquing in the figure as it watched him. It was of no importance to the berry-haired heir. Whatever this thing was, whatever intentions it had, they were unimportant...all that mattered was that it needed to go down.
He wasn't alone.
"Nix...you aren't alone. Let me help you,' his words were stern and sincere, and even if he wasn't looking at her she could tell...his focus was entirely upon his enemy, "this monster isn't your shadow. I can see...what this creature is...is chaos...and with your help, I will stop it!"
"SHINING GENJI!"
There was a sound not unlike glass shattering, and over the head of the boy his persona seemed to evolve before their eyes! It reached down and placed the back of a paper fan upon his shoulder before disappearing...and when it was gone, his eyes and hands shimmered with barely-contained power. ...His enemy spoke just then, its voice this time sounding not unlike his own. But he could see through the illusion straight to the core of it. He could see...and he would not be fooled! "Do you really think that you've grown? That this transformation changes what you are?" it taunted, "You know the truth...all you are is an indec-!"
...It's taunts were interrupted by the thudding impact of a palm against its 'chin'.
"I told you...I can see right through you!" his words were without hesitation, and no sooner had the foe recovered than dagger-like fingers had dug themselves into its chest, its arm, a series of piston-like attacks driving it back towards the wall in a whirlwind of flying appendages! Every so often it managed a counter, but most sailed clear of his weaving head or buried themselves in his stomach, earning a spurt of blood, only to be answered with a similar strike to its own sternum. They were similar in fighting, but the ferocity of the true Genji was unstoppable! His skill was impeccable! This smooth series of strikes, whirlwind motion, and precise tactics was the true form of the Gentle Fist, the martial art that his grandfather had passed down to him from their family legacy! It was an inextricable part of who he was, and each movement was as though he were meant to do it...until the final strike with an open palm thudding against the foe's sternum, all pretenses of upholding his attitude as Genji's shadow fading with the spattering of black blood and spittle that flew from his mouth onto the floor, sizzling...white energy splashing in every direction from the final palm strike. It was just a momentary opening, however...and the teen knew it. Catching it by surprise while it was playing with them and having the power to kill something of this magnitude were two different things! He kept his palm extended to try and hold his foe, turning over his shoulder to call out to his companion in the room, desperately pleading for her to take this opening before it was too late.
"Nix-senpai...! Use your lightning!" his voice was choked suddenly by the thunderous impact of what looked like his own fist in his stomach...only it was his foe, recovered from its shock...its other hand taking him by the neck to hold him up before him, "...Do...it...!"
"My, my...you're quite spirited, aren't you? How interesting," the figure teased, glancing over his foe's shoulder towards the snow-haired girl, "you would go this far to protect a girl like her? ...You're practically bleeding out, and still you fight. Is this stupidity, or is it commendable? I can't decide...but do you really think she will have the courage to fight and save you?" It taunted, and its fingers closed tighter, making the teen gasp for air...fighting against whatever this monstrosity was, kicking against its stomach to escape to no avail with the last of his strength.
"I will...always...protect..." he struggled, his power flaring with one last white swirl, white hospital gown staining with red from a reopened wound on his back, "...and..believe in...her!" Quote: [Genji] has awakened his Ultimate Persona, [Shining Genji]!

Ƞix Gallen X ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ Hearing Genji say he believed she was strong gave Nix more confidence that she could win this fight. Before she could attack again her Shadow seemed to focus on him instead. Something must've happened that she could not see, was his health getting worse and the shadow sensed it? The stance he took said otherwise and his words confirmed that. "Not my Shadow then.. Genji wai-" She stopped, knowing that asking him to stand aside wasn't the right thing to do. He may have been badly hurt but that look in his eyes showed that he wanted to help. He had to help in this fight.
Soon Genji and the shadow were exchanging blows and she could only watch as he got more wounded. Soon the shadowy copy of herself was on the ground as her teammate called out for her to attack. Then in a flash he was hit once again, trapped in the Shadow's grip. The pink headed teen tried to get away but he couldn't break free. If Nix didn't attack now he would get choked to death but if her aim was off he would get hurt even worse! 'I have to focus.. He believes I can do this.' A glare came to the snow haired girl's eyes as she focused on her target for a moment before glancing at Genji, the tarot card appearing in her hand. "Genji, don't move!.. And you.." Her attention now solely on the Shadow, the figure that was trying to deceive her, fill her head with lies. "I'll show you that I'm no coward! Get your hands off my friend!"
Nix shattered the card in her hand, her Persona appearing behind her. "Arcane Clash!" A powerful torrent of wind erupted under the Shadow's feet, knocking it high into the air. While it was airborne, being lashed at by wind, vicious bolts of lightning crashed down upon it, sending it crashing to the ground. It was over, it had to be after all that. A chill ran down her spine as it got back on it's feet, a smirk on it's face. Instead of attacking once again, it merely faded away.
The fight was over, against that imposter at least but something, or someone, was more important right now. "Genji, are you okay!?" If he wasn't then she would have to patch him up right away. ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ♫ Quote: Arcane Clash - Very High Elec and Wind Damage, Elec Break ( Elec Boost Elec Amp) (Target: ???)
