Persona: Their 'Will' [Completed]

Second Encounter

A dark room, where two people, a pale man in his mid thirties and one familiar fellow who have a pair of spectacles on with a green jacket stand near a table,frustrated.
"Dammit! I could've had him!" Jin cursed.
"You 'could' have him. You disappoint me." The pale man shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Takaya..." He lowered his head.
"Never mind, but now.. We know that there are two of them." He walked further from the table.
"Its about time we sent in more of them."
"You don't mean.."
"Oh its alright, even if they do bring Nxy here, they don't have the power to kill it." He smirked. Two ominous shadows appear behind the man.
"Its time for Strega to reborn!"

---------------------------------------------------------

"Achoo!" I sneezed.
"You alright Minako?" Minato asked.
"Yeah, yeah... Anyway, where is this place?" I asked.
"It should be nearby." He looked around. Today, were are exploring bustling Tokyo. Ikutsuki recommended we explore the city and there is this shop that sells weapons, and some medicine. We haven't been outside for 2 months, except for errands. Right now, we are looking for a clinic... I think.
"Man, are we there yet?" I groaned.
"Could you wait."
"... Are we lost?" I asked.
".... No." Minato said.
"Where are we?"
"I think, Yogen-Jaya. I'm not sure." He was dumbfounded.
"In Yogen-jaya? Haaaah." We passed by a coffee shop called Leblanc. We stop for a second and gaze the inside of the shop.
"... You want some coffee?" I asked.
"... Later." He then resumed to walk forward.
"Right now we have to find this back alley clinic." He looked back at his map.
"How does Ikutsuki know these places." I sighed.
"Well, we owe him, don't we?" Minato smiled.
"How can you smile like that?... Did you forget what he done?" I asked him, glared.
"... I... Not sure." He shook his head.
"Then-"
"But even so his helping us now. I may not forgive him, but I can't just let this slide." He said.
"I always return the favor." He said, his eyes filled with determination. I looked in awe.
"Oh, we're here." He looked at me, I was dumbfounded in awe. My mouth was a bit opened.
"Umm, Minako?" He asked.
"Ah, Ah! S-Sorry!" I closed my mouth with my hand. I blushed a little.
"You're alright? Do you have a fever? You're red." He looked at me, tilting his head.
"I-I'm okay! Let's go now." I stomped my feet.
"Well if you don't feel well, just ask the doctor." He pointed towards the clinic.
"Right, we are near the clinic..." I said. We walked in the clinic. We saw a really messy lobby, nobody inside. Suddenly the door opens to reveal a dark blue haired female doctor, in a punk kind off outfit and a doctor's coat over it.
"Well then, next." She said.
"Um, hello. My name is Minako Arisato." I said, bowing my head.
"Minato Arisato." Minato also bowed.
"Oh, a married couple." She said.
"N-No! We're not!" Both of us said in unison.
"Oh, how sad. I thought I could use soem medicine on you two... Oh well, So why are you both here?" She asked.
"Ikutsuki sent us here." Minato replied.
"Medicine...?" I whispered.
"Ohh, that geezer." She frowned.
"Anyway, he must have sent you for the delivery." She asked.
"Yeah. It looks the medicine at the dorm is out." I said to her.
"Alright, wait right there." She then goes back into the room. The sounds of bottles and other drugs are heard through the door. She then comes out with a brown bag.
"Here. The prescriptions he needs and some other meds if you need them." She handed it over to us.
"Thank you." Minato bowed.
"Anytime. Also, if you need a medical check up or if you want to be my assistant, you are always welcome."
"Assistant?" I was a bit confused.
"Yep, there is some new medicines I'm trying to conduct. So I need a guinea pig." She smiled.
"Right..." Both us said. I then remember that sometimes I go to the infirmary at my school and this teacher always gave me some type of medicine. It didn't taste well and it didn't really help.
"Thank you very much." I bowed.
"Anytime." She said.
"Oh, right. What's your name?" Minato asked.
"Its Tae Takemi."

---------------------------------------------------------

"Well, she was... Weird." I said.
"There is weirder." Minato replied.
"True that."
"Remembering it. I think I might puke." He hold his mouth.
"Yeah. I wonder what this doctor has in mind." Minato then turns around.
"What is it?"
"I feel like we're being watched." He's right. I did feel a gaze somewhere. A cold gaze. A killer's gaze. I then looked at the moon. It was a bright yellow.
"Its midnight." I said.
"...!" Minato took out his evoker. A giant shadow appeared in front of us.
"A shadow!?"
"And its one of twelve others." He then summoned his persona.
"Orpheus." Orpheus dealt some physical damage against it, but it did nothing. The shadows attacked, using ice attacks.
"Ice!?" He kneeled down.
"The Priestess arcana. The one in the train." I shouted to Minato.
"Huh, this guy. I better finish this." He summoned his persona again, this time using a fire attack.
"Orpheus. Agilao." The shadow got knocked down.
"Alright, its time for an all-out- Hey, look out!!" Minato then threw His body on to me. Without me realizing, a shadow almost hit me.
"Ouch."
"You alright?"
"Y-Yeah." He pulled me up.
"How are the meds?"
"Their are okay. For now let's focus on them." I took out my evoker and summoned Eurydice.
"It looks like the other shadow is just a normal one."
"Yeah. Can you deal with it?" I said.
"Alright. Thanatos!" He summoned Thanatos and started to attack the big shadow. I then focused on the main one.
"Agilao!" I used a fire attack against it, knocking it down. It then recovered and used an ice attack.
"Aghhhh!" I screamed.
"Hey! God dammit! Die!" Minato then eventually killed the shadow. He then sprinted towards me.
"Need help?"
"No shit." I frowned. I then summoned Thanatos.
"Orpheus." Minato followed suit. We then coordinated our attacks making the shadow to almost fall.
"Alright, just a little-!" A gunshot was heard.
"Agrrrhhhhhh!!!!" Minato screamed in agony. His shoulder got shot, the bullet pierced his skin but didn't penetrate.
"Minato!" I sprinted towards him. He was about to fall and I caught him.
"Hahh...hahh..."
"Hang in there!" My eyes was about burst into tears.
"Well, well, well. It seems like you made a new friend Minato." Suddenly a pale man appeared.
"!!"
"Strega!"
"Its been awhile." Takaya said.
"I'll kill you." Another man, Jin, came from the shadows.
"Hypno!" Takaya summoned his persona, beating the crap out me.
"Arghhh!" I let out a sharp cry.
"Scream! Scream! Let it out!" Jin cursed me.
"Thanatos!" Minato stood up and summoned Thanatos, making Jin flung to the wall.
"Hmph, well it was expected." Takaya then took aim once more. Shooting Minato in the thigh.
"Hrrrnghh... Arghhh!!!" Minato tried to muffle the scream.
"Well, this is the end of the road for you." Takaya had two other shadows being him.
"N-No way." I shivered in fear. I couldn't get my persona out. I tried and tried but nothing came out. Is this really the end... Its terrifying. My eyes became dead. I just gave up not knowing what to do. I wonder if they also gave up. Yukari, Junpei and the others... I wonder what they are doing now. Are they moving forward or are they like me now...
"It isn't the end until you give up." Minato stood back up. I looked behind me.
"For everything we fought for, our friends never stop believing in us." He put his evoker at his temple.
"You want to quit now, knowing that they still believe in us! Because I won't! I don't expect them to see me appearing out of nowhere, but it doesn't mean they are trying their best to move forward and save us!" He had some tears in his eyes. My eyes had slowing regain its life back.
"So I'll do my best, till that time comes and I won't waver because I know what is right!" He summoned his persona. A red like Orpheus was summoned.
"Let's go. Orpheus Telos!" The persona then damage Takaya and one of the shadows.
"Arghh! Bastard!" Takaya cursed.
"I can do it too! Persona!" I stood up, regaining my determination.
"Come, Thanatos!" I killed the Priestess arcana shadow.
"Looks like they is two more." Minato said, shaking barely able to stand up.
"It looks like the Emperor and Empress. What a pain." I groaned.
"Don't get cocky." He said, without realizing Jin was sneaking up being us. Waiting to suumon his persona.
"Come, Orpheus!" Minato staggered in his state. I couldn't do anything.
"Hah! You're dead now! Persona!" Jin summoned his persona, unleashing a devastating lighting attack towards Minato.
"Minato!" Minato looked behind. Due to his state, he couldn't move.
"Crap! I'm gonna die!?" He cursed himself. I then suddenly pushed him aside, in the end I got hit.
"Arrrghh!!" I screamed to the agony of the powerful attack.
"Minako!" He said, trying to get up.
"M..Minato... Y...Y..You...A...Al....Alright?" I said to him lying on the ground. I feel like I'm about to faint.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Just hang in there."
"I...I'm glad... Without... You... I ma... May have not... Been able... To... Move... Forward." I smiled. Minato let out a tear in his eyes.
"M-Minako! Minako!" His voice was muffled. My eyes are beginning to feel heavy. I closed my eyes. I then remember what had happened in the past. Graduation day, the day I was sent into the Seal. I still remember them running towards me, shouting my name, my head was on Aigis's lap.
I wish It didn't have to end the same way...

---------------------------------------------------------

"Hrmm... Hrmm? Where am I?" I said, lying on some bed looking around.
"Let me- Ow Ow Ow!" While I was trying to sit up, back hurt a little.
"Wait, isn't this?" I was back in my room, the dormitory. I wonder what's today's date.
"Its the 15th... I passed out for a day!?"
Well, its not that surprising, if you think about it. I wonder where is Minato...
"Minato! I wonder if he's okay. He had a lot of injuries and a gunshot wound." I panicked for a second, then I saw a blue haired boy sleeping on the edge of my bed.
"I shouldn't have shouted." His hair, was a nice dark blue. His face had a nice build to it. Even though his small, his pretty strong. I looked at the boy, slowly caressing his hair.
"You're so cute. You care about those who you hold so dearly to. You also kind. I wonder what is this feeling I'm getting..." My heart thump a little. I felt relieved when I'm with him. I feel like even though we just met, we know everything about each other.
"Hrnng... Minako?" I retracted my arms, panicking. He woke up.
"Ah, M-Minato. G-good mor-" Before I could finish my sentence, Minato tightly hugged me.
"I thought I lost you." He cried a little.
"I'm okay." I said, a small blush appeared on my face.
"Promise me you won't die, promise me we'll get through this together."
"I promise. You really are vulnerable." I said.
"I'm just scared of losing you. I don't know what to do if I did lose you." He said. My eyes welled up and let out some tears.
"M-Me too." We embraced for a moment. We looked at each other in the eyes, our lips almost getting closer. Then the door opened.
"Excuse me I... Oh my... I'm sorry." Ikutsuki saw us.
"Well you are at that age so... Continue." He closed the door.
"Oh god." Minato said.
"Y-You okay?"
"Why did it have to be Ikutsuki that came in?" He groaned.
"Oh right, here is something, well just in case." He threw the box towards Minato. It was a box of condoms.
"...I'm going to fucking kill you, Ikutsuki." Minato stood up from the bed and went toward the door. He was about to punch him...
"Also they are two new guests here." He said.
"Guests?" I got up.
"Oh yeah. They're the reason we got out alive, just so you know." We walked out of my room and headed for the stairs.
"What are they're names?" I asked.
"You may be familiar with one of them the other... Was another experiment I held at the lab." Ikutsuki replied.
"You mean like Strega?" I asked
"Yes, but he is a little different." We almost made it to the lounge. We saw two red heads, one female and another male. I recognise the female, Chidori, but the other I did not.
"Allow me to introduce you."
"Sho Minazuki."
