Working With Phantoms

Return to Nothing

July 4th

Madran arrived back in the Velvet Room to see that everyone had beat her there, as was usual. Chicory then ran around while she sat down.

"Well, uh, sorry I'm late."

"It's fine. So, today, we go after the final White?"

"It would seem so. Well, how's everyone doing?"

Madran looked around to see that everyone appeared to be normal, which was a relief to her.

"So, Flynn, was that White we fought yesterday based off of that friend who vanished when you guys were transported to random dimensions?"

"Yeah. I don't really know what happened to him, but all I can hope for is that he'll be fine. Maybe, he's just back in Mikado."

"Let's hope that you're correct. It's always a shame for your friends to go missing, especially in times like these."

Flynn nodded and stood up.

"Well, shall we get going?"

Elizabeth and Margaret nodded.

"That would be beneficial. May we come along, too?"

Flynn looked at the two and nodded.

"I... sure."

"Oh, trust me, these two are no joke. They may seem like harmless attendees to you, bu when they have to fight..."

Madran chuckled. Elizabeth smiled and stepped forwards.

"Well, let's get started! This odd void gets older the more we stand by, so we should get moving."

The group then headed out to the Monochrome Forest again, with Madran beginning a scan.

"Ok, so, the only way now is down this way! Let's get moving, everyone."

The group then went down the only remaining path that they could go down, with Isabeau looking over at Margaret and Elizabeth.

"So, Madran, by your words, what do you mean by Margaret and Elizabeth being no joke?"

"Ah, we have an audience!"

Elizabeth looked forwards, with Madran doing the same to see a handful of Girimehkalas and Oberons blocking the way.

"Step aside, persona-users and demon summoners alike. We can handle this."

Margaret looked over at the demons.

"Elizabeth, you take the Oberons. I can handle the Girimehkalas."

"Understood. Now, Jack Frost!"

Elizabeth summoned her Jack Frost, who attacked the Oberons with an Ice Age. Then, she swapped to Surt, who eliminated them with a Maragidyne. After that, Margaret summoned Ardha, who knocked the Girimehkalas down with a Makougaon and finished them with a Megidolaon.

"There. Reduced to dust, just as we like it."

Elizabeth looked back towards Flynn and Isabeau, who appeared to be slightly impressed.

"Ah, it appears that our little show wasn't quite enough. Surt, lower your weapon, they're just apprehensive."

Surt glared at Elizabeth and was then de-summoned. Ardha also vanished.

"All we need now is Pierce. Then, we won't have to worry about getting our Hassou Tobi and Heat Waves knocked back at us."

Madran shrugged and continued on.
