Persona 3 : Two Souls

Part 21 - Arcana Chariot and Justice

August 6th came eventually, it was the night of another full moon and Ikutsuki had gathered the S.E.E.S group into the fourth floor meeting room alongside Aigis.

"Well everyone, it's another full moon." Ikutsuki said once everyone had become seated, except for Aigis who chose to just stand behind where Takuya was sitting.

"Yamagishi, have you located the Shadow yet?" Mitsuru questioned.

"Yes." Fuuka said "It's another powerful one."

"As to be expected at this point." Takuya commented.

"So where is it, Fuuka-chan?" Miyuki asked.

"It's located by the deserted houses in the northern part of Iwatodai." Fuuka answered.

"That'll be easy to find." Akihiko replied with a smirk as he began cracking his knuckles in anticipation. "Something's strange though...." Fuuka commented "...It seems like the Shadow is underground."

"E-Excuse me?" Junpei questioned "It's underground? So what, it's like in a basement or something?"

"Incorrect." Aigis chimed in "My records indicate that there are no structures that match up with that criteria, however they do show that in the past there was a military-made underground facility within that area."

"W-Well, okay then..." Junpei stumbled out awkwardly.

"Leave it to Aigis." Ikutsuki said with a wholesome series of chuckles "The architectural and geographical data for this was uploaded into her memory back, so I am not suprised she had those kinds of answers inside her metal head."

"Question." Miyuki spoke up "Aigis hasn't been awake since 1999, right?"

"That is correct, Miyuki." Ikutsuki answered "Why do you ask?"

"If it's been almost a decade since she was last up, wouldn't that mean it's possible stuff about the area might have changed since then?" Miyuki questioned.

"Excellent point." Ikutsuki said in response.

"So...how do we want to take this?" Akihiko asked.

"Well, there is no way of knowing without actually going there." Fuuka answered.

"Alright." Takuya said as he stood up "Then I suggest only four of us go. No point in all of us going if it turns out to be a bust."

"Agreed." Mitsuru responded "Takuya, since you're the leader I suggest you decide who goes with you."

"Fair enough, Princess." Takuya said with a chuckle "Akihiko, since you're so ready and willing I think it's only fair you come with me."

"Alright!" Akihiko exclaimed "I won't let you down."

"Aigis, since you'd probably follow me anyway...You're coming too." Takuya said.

"Understood." Aigis said "I am at your beck and call."

"Trust me, I know." Takuya responded with an exhausted sigh. "Finally...and I can't believe I'm saying this...Junpei."

"Hell yeah!" Junpei exclaimed proudly as he jumped up from his seat "I won't let you down, dude!"

"See that you don't." Takuya replied sternly which put a damper on Junpei's excitement. "The rest of you stay here with Fuuka, if the Shadow isn't there then we'll come back here."

The chosen four left and made their way to the northern part of Iwatodai, they did find the underground facility and were currently standing at the entrance.
