Persona 5 Royal: Makoto X Male Reader OC- The Forgotten Shadow (Part 1)

Makoto's Memories Finale (Chapter 122)

*Cognitive World*

Your POV

Coughing up blood, you fall to your knees and grasp the wound on your chest. The darkened crimson pours to the floor. With a strained look on your face, you witness the two shadows approaching you. Gripping your sword, you raise to your feet, trying to hold the wound to slow the bleeding; it slips through your fingers as you feel the painful, burning curse start to spread within your body.

Makoto: Y/N!

You: This won't take me down... I won't let anything stop me from saving you!

Makoto: Y/N...

Makoto's Shadow: I love it when they are on the brink of death!

???: Is this going to finish up soon?

You: That voice...

Pacing back and forth, the voice echoed through the Palace; it was a familiar voice. The very same voice of Kaneshiro. His golden shadow eyes peer from the darkness; a gunshot is heard, a bullet ripping through your arm. You yell in pain and grip the wound, dropping Rebellion. Another round hits your thigh, and another strikes your collarbone. Your vision begins to grow dark; the fatigue and strain of your wounds have entirely tapped you out. Taking a deep breath, you roll under another shot towards your head and grab Rebellion to deflect the rest of his barrage of bullets.

Makoto's Shadow: Hey! Don't barge in on our fun!

Kaneshiro's Shadow: You are taking too long. I want him dead now, or else our plan is off.

Makoto's Shadow: Fine, you prick! My curse is spreading throughout his body and organs; it should kill him in minutes now that he is exhausting himself more.

You: Thank you for letting me know how much time it should take to kick your ass.

Your Shadow: Insolence! Die!

With a swing with his blade, you barely sidestep and kick his chest. He stumbles back, but you keep up and slash through his arm, severing it. Turning around, you slash through and duck under another bullet from Kaneshiro. Taking a deep breath, you leap forward and tackle Makoto's Shadow, only to quickly roll off her and rush Kaneshiro.

He begins to panic and fire more out of his gun, which a few hit your arms and stomach, but the pain starts to numb itself from adrenaline. Gritting your teeth, you cut off both his arms, which he screams about. Twisting in the air, your roundhouse kicks his mouth and shatters his jaw. Once you landed on your feet, you stumbled back but quickly pushed through the curse and turned toward Makoto's Shadow, firing another beam from her finger; you deflected with Rebellion, pulled out your magnum, and fired a shot that took off her head.

Knowing it won't keep them down for long, you channel your flames as much as possible, focus the center of your energy into a single strike, and charge at her body. It was beginning to reform, but it fired another beam, which cut through your leg, causing the curse to burn deep. Gritting your teeth, you unleash a wave of flames, which get blocked by your counterpart. 

You: Shit! Just disappear, will you?!

Frustrated, blue flaming wings sprout from your back, which causes an intense wave of bright light to emit from them. Unleashing the full potential of your Persona, you rush forward only to stumble to the ground, your body too heavy to move. The curse spreads throughout most of your body, causing it to become dead weight.

You: C...Can't move!

Makoto's Shadow: Hmph! It's a good attempt, but it is over for you. Dear, why don't you give him a proper send-off?
