P5 X NSP ; The Persona In Me

Palace No. 2 Here We Come!

The trio entered the premises of the palace and looked around.

"There's a lot of bushes around. I hope this isn't a maze."

"Sakura, this is a garden, not a maze." Doctor said.

"Shush, Doctor, you're ruining my funny moment." Sakura said. Doctor sighs before slowly walking towards the Mansion, cautiously. He then reached the main door and shifted the door open slightly before realising that there wasn't any security there.

"Huh, well that's strange." Doctor said as he then slips into the museum. It was pretty large, with two staircases and a red carpet. There was a lot of hallways that twist and turn on the sides. The entire group then enters. Suddenly, the large doors closed behind them without anyone pulling them.

"Bloody hell, it better not be like what happened at Tinker's." Doctor said.

"Hello, amigos." A distorted voice said. They then looked in the direction of where the voice came from and saw a shadowy figure. It reveals itself to be shadow Otis but in a mafia outfit.

"Don't call us amigos." Owl snapped back as Otis jumped from the balcony to the ground. He then perfectly lands on both of his feet. He then briskly walks towards Owl and then all of a sudden grabs him by the neck.

"What'd you say, brat?" He said, his face changing from a smug one to an angry one. Owl was Immediately intimidated by shadow Otis. Doctor then cuts in with his surgical knife. Otis jumped back and did not get stabbed in the process. He then stares at his weapons as Doctor held his surgical knife at Otis. He snorted before laughing.

"What's so funny, mafia man?" Doctor asked.

"You call yourself a SoulSaviour yet you use such a small weapon." He said before continuing his laugh. He clenched his fist as shadow Otis continued laughing.

"Doctor, don't let your anger out on this guy, he may seem like a fool but he is tough." Sakura whispered to Doctor. Shadow Otis then shot a glare at Sakura.

"And what did you say, Ninnyhammer?!" Otis snapped at Sakura.

"Oh, I'm sorry fancypants, did I upset your demeanour?" Sakura said smugly. Otis didn't say anything but clenched his fist. He then turned his back away from them as two shadows materialized.

"Go deal with them, men. If you die, you're all dishonourably discharged." Otis said before jumping up to the balcony and disappearing into the darkness as dark, sludgy walls covered the stairs.

"Get ready, y'all!" Doctor yelled as the shadows transformed into whatever the heck they would transform into. They fought the transformed shadows easily and they just died.

"That...was surprisingly easy." Doctor said as the goop on the ground fades away.

"Yeah, let's get going. We definitely don't wanna get stuck here." Sakura said. They then began running to one of the twisty hallways that prolly lead back to the same area if they're not careful enough. And sure enough, it did.

"Wait, we're back here again?"

"Oh, it's one of those. We'll have to guess." Sakura said.

"God darn it, and I thought we would get through this easily like slicing butter!"

"Eh, I wouldn't take that sentence seriously since butter can be rock solid at times." She said. Doctor groans and then they picked another one, which leads them back to the same thing.

"This is gonna take a while." After some time, though, they got through and then they have to face the same thing. Again.

"Ok, this is definitely gonna take a long time." Doctor said. And he was not surprisingly right about that because they kept messing up until they found the correct one. And shadow Otis had the audacity to send them back to square one if they get it wrong.
