Working With Phantoms

Art of War

Madran watched as Shadow Madarame began to laugh as he expanded into a massive box and rose into the sky. Then, the box separated into four new ones.

"Uh, I don't like this. Hey, guys, get ready!"

The boxes floated down and assumed complete forms, with two being at the top, one being at the middle, and one floating down near the bottom. The top two boxes were paintings of yellow eyes that bulged out of the frame, with the middle on being a painting of a nose that protruded from the painting as well. Then, the bottom one was a rectangular-shaped frame with a large mouth and mustache.

"Nightingale, scan!"

Madran scanned the paintings.

"Ok, here's Ichiryusai 'Azazel' Madarame! Um, he has he two health thingies going on again, so Joker, see you on the other side!"

Madran separated from Akira's group as they seemed to vanish with Shadow Madarame focusing on them.

"Ok, here's the scoop! The two square paintings with eyes in them drains Agi, Zio, Garu, and Bufu but is open to everything else. The nose drains Psi, Frei, Kouha, and Eiha, but doesn't do the same to all else. Then, the mouth one drains gun and physical attacks but is open to magic. Ok, everyone, let's, uh get this rolling!"

Shadow Madarame then began to talk.

"I am the shadow, the true self... I, myself, am a God! I am not a being to be ridiculed. Bow down to me, or meet your slow and painful doom!"

"Well, idiots like you exist to be made fun of! Babes, attack!"

Everyone summoned their Personas and Madran started off with a Marakunda on Shadow Madarame. Then, Suga, Sheila, and Chicory hit the mouth with a Sushify. After that, Maya utilized a Grydyne, which hit all four of the parts.

"Ooh, yeah, Rumor, do that!"

"Gotcha!"

Philemon then hit the nose with a Debilitate, and Wysteria utilized a Makougaon, which hit the eyes and mouth but didn't effect the nose. Then, Shadow Madarame began to attack, with both of the eyes utilizing a Heat Riser on the nose and mouth.

"Now, how about some ice?"

The nose hit Philemon with a Diamond Dust, which knocked him over. Then, the nose attacked again with a strong electric attack on Suga, which looked like a massive orb of shocking substance that exploded. However, Suga dodged.

"What the heck was that?"

"That, I think, was Thunder Reign. Hang in there, Butterfly!"

The mouth then shot at Nefertiti and bit her, which did significant damage to Sheila.

"Hey, ow, my arm!"

"Oh, oh dear, we need a bit of healing!"

Madran utilized a Sukukaja on Suga, who then utilized a Diarahan on Philemon. Then, he got back up.

"Well, that was unpleasant. Come, Sarasvati!"

Philemon summoned Sarasvati, who hit the nose with a Bufula. Then, Maya utilized another Grydyne but missed the mouth and one of the eyes.

"Oh, crap, that Heat Riser's doing its work."

Wysteria nodded and utilized another Makougaon, which knocked one of the eyes out of the sky.

"Oh, hey, nice one, Madame, the left eye is down! Now, we have to get the next three out!"

Sheila utilized a Megido, and Chicory then hit the other eye with a Deadly Fury. Then, the remaining eye utilized another Heat Riser on the nose, which then attacked with a Thunder Reign on Suga, which hit. Then, it unleashed a massive tornado of green and purple air upon Madran, which she nearly dodged.
