Persona 5 x persona 4

chapter 6

"STOP!" A voice cut in like a hot knife through the air.

Suddenly a large one eyed elephant like persona appeared between both combatants. Instantly the persona absorbed both attacks that Yu and Joker had been aiming at each other. Taking them without any difficulty before suddenly reflecting them back at their owners. Joker didn't have time to dodge as his gun skill was knocked back at him caused him to fly back and way from both the reflecting persona and Yu. He was thrown back hitting the ground a bit harder than was probably best for a guy that had gotten himself beat up not more than two days ago. Renewed pain surged through Joker as he let himself just lay against the cold ground of Mementos.

From his spot on the floor, Joker could see Justine had her hand out towards Girimehkala as the elephant persona looked between both Yu and Joker. As the battle was now settled, Justine pulled her hand back and the persona faded from the battle field its job done for the moment. Joker had to wonder why Justine had stepped in that particular moment but then again he had been half a second from possibly being sliced in two by Yu's katana.

"Enough!" Caroline called out stepping in between the two combatants. "We've seen enough. Justine?"

"Both wild cards are indeed powerful, maybe one day I would like to test their power against us but for now this will suffice. I will now take your friend's memories and it will be as it was a few minutes ago before this fight." Justine explained before a blinding light erupted from her clip board.

Joker stood before Yu as everything was suddenly back how it was before. The damage Mementos had sustained from their attacks vanished and their friends were calmly chatting between each other. They had been saying things during the fight but Joker had been more focused on the battle that he had gotten none of it. Along with Mementos being repaired all the injuries he had sustained during the battle were all but a distant memory. Something that pleased Joker's no longer aching side. Yu was the first to make a move as he extended his hand out for Joker to shake.

"Good fight." Yu commented.

Joker nodded taking Yu's hand, having a new found respect for the man he had fought. "Agreed."

Joker could instantly feel a bond form between him and Yu. It was the kind of bond that would help him progress in his 'rehabilitation'. It was only a basics of a bond but Joker knew that this one was going to be just as powerful as the rest of his confidants if he just was willing to let it mature a bit.

"World arcana... Huh, you are indeed interesting Wild Card. Inmate make sure to keep striving forward so you don't disappoint our master. Now there anything else you need?" Justine asked.

"I'm good." Joker replied.

"Don't go slacking off on us Inmate." Caroline called before the twins returned to their normal spot next to the blue jail cell.

Joker slipped his hands into the pockets of his coat before he stepped up to his fellow thieves. "Everyone ready?"

Mona glanced over at the other group, there was a bit of unease in his voice. "We still got to fix the issue that my van is too small to fit all of us in less you want to split the groups."

Joker paused thinking for a few seconds, his eyes shifting over to Queen. "How fast to do you think you can go on Johanna? Fast enough to keep up with Mona?"

Queen glanced at Mona. "Yeah I probably could but I'd be worried if the group split up because we got attacked by a shadow."

"Hopefully with two navigators we should be able to keep track of one another." Yu informed them. "I don't think it'd be that big of an issue."

Speaking of navigators, Joker looked to his navigator. "How about you Oracle, think you could keep up?"

"No problem!" Oracle announced with a wide grin as if she was looking forward to what was happening.
