".........."

Appearing in of him are all these people he doesn't recognize.....he doesn't know who they are and why are they here....but he doesn't care at all. But it would hurt to say a quick hello or what ever...

"......"

He only waves his hand at them. Just who were they....he doesn't know, nor if it doesn't matter.

{☼: 陽介 } — "Oi...                         its getting cold you should                         put this on OK, and please                         don't argue I'm not in the mood.."

                          Clearly concerned the boy shrugged off                           his jacket before draping it over the chariot's                           shoulders, a slight blushing adoring his features                           before casually stepping away so that his light                           optics could look up at the night sky.

worldofthefool and trialofthechariot have come to Junes!

"Oh, hey there Partner, Chie." Yosuke said as he saw them at the start of his break between shifts at Junes. It was somewhat a surprise that Yu and Chie came to Junes without the brunette knowing, not that he was complaining about it.

"Teddie’s hard at work right now so it’s just a break for me." He said as he sat down at the same table as his friends. "So, what’s up?"

[kazesusanoo]

”A simple ‘hello’ would be enough to get my attention, y’know.”

Despite her words, the brunette was rather excited to see the Magician. She turned to face him, a bright, wide grin spreading across her face.  "What’s up, Hanamoron?"

            {☼: 陽介 } — "With you its always gotta be                                   something annoying though, I                                      mean you do have quite a                                 horrible attention span Satobaka."

         His words were playful and yet he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly. The girl had been gone for a while and the boy had become quite lonely since her departure.                                        "Nothing much to be honest                                         I--I missed you a lot, like a lot."

Malevolent Feelings Win

ARGH why wouldn't she pick up? He had to get through to Chie somehow. After what he saw, he had a bad feeling inside of his gut. He recalled that none of them had shown up on the Midnight Channel before. But this...this was not what he had expected. Answering machine again. Letting out a sigh of defeat, he just figured that he would see her tomorrow. Maybe by then it would get cleared up. He just still had that sinking feeling inside of his gut.

The next morning, seemed nothing was different...except Chie hadn't shown up at school. He wondered if anyone else had watched it the night before, and so he approached them to see if they had heard from her. Yukiko nodded and mentioned something about Chie not feeling well the night before, so that she would miss out on school that day. Yosuke felt some relief from that, figuring that between the case and the Grand Prix, he was just overreacting.

Just to be safe, he made sure to check the Midnight Channel that night one more time. And sure enough, the image was quite clear. His thoughts were out towards Ted, to see if he could sniff him out. Turning towards the bear, he saw that he was out cold. That plan wouldn't be going out so well. That's when an idea hit him - the thought of training the next day since it was Sunday. They all had the day off.

Turns out that no one could make it except for himself. Biting his lip, he took one look towards the TV. It was now or never. Moving on inside, he felt the familiar fall, with some sort of added laughter. And right before landing in the usual spot, he found himself getting yanked away. "WOAH!" He called out.

Bracing himself for impact, he wondered where the hell he was going. This was no joy ride either. Instead, the landing was in a familiar place to him. "Why the hell would I be inside...Yukiko's...Castle..." He muttered, voice trailing off as soon as he recognized the area. This was where Chie's scene had been. Frantically getting out his kunai, he took a look around. She had to be somewhere there.

"OOH HE JUST GETS ON MY NERVES! And yet, despite everything he is also a good friend."

That was Chie's voice all right! "Chie where are you?!" Yosuke cried out, just wanting to get help for his friend. It was then that he felt something chill near him, and he rolled off to the side. A Shadow must have come up behind him, and so he spun around, ready to toss his kunai when...

"THE HELL CHIE?!" He shouted. She was moving back and forth in her fighting stance like usual, staring towards him. "Come on Yosuke...it's training." She said, staring towards him. "And you are my opponent!"

Something was still feeling wrong to Yosuke. The Midnight Channel...Chie now here, and with her Persona as well Suzuka Gongen. Well if she wanted a fight. "Susano-O!" He called forth. This would have to be one he would make quick. Besides, the doors seemed to be locked as well and - wait the doors were locked.

"Chie wait how the hell will we get out?" He asked, before feeling a kick to the gut. That was what he got for letting his guard down, he figured as he clutched his gut. And before her next strike could land, he watched Susano-O block it with a quick Garu.

"Nngh...cheap shot." Getting up to his feet, he jumped back to give himself some distance between the two. She seemed to be full of something today. And seemed she was out with full force as well. "All right then!" He called forth, not noticing the Shadow over his head. He was about to lunge forward when he got clocked on the head, getting knocked back. "...Argh damn God's hand..." He muttered. Two could play that game.

"BRAVE BLADE!" He called out, watching the sliding gear launch towards Chie. It seemed to do something towards her, and once he got up to his feet he lunged forth, tossing some of his kunai towards her. She seemed to block them with kicks of her own. "Come on Chie we don't have time to be fight- URGH!"

He started to cough up some blood, as her Persona had lunged forward, thrusting its spear towards him and caught him on the arm. That hurt like hell, and the blood flowing down told him this was no game to her. What sucked was that he was now down an arm. "...Dammit Chie...why..." He muttered softly.

Flipping one Kunai, he tossed it towards her helplessly as the next strike went on. One more sweep and his legs got struck, him crying out in pain. Falling to the floor, he looked on down. "...Why..." He muttered, not understanding this at all. This was no training session at all.

"You are a foolish one." Came a call from Chie as her body crumpled to the floor, and out walked a Shadow version of her. "Coming to the aid of your friend because of what you saw...and yet no one else saw it? You realize this was all some sort of trap right? But no, you figured try and be the hero. Well then, hero, lets see what happens next. Oh wait. Suzuka Gongen - finish your work."

And what came forth was a darker version. Closing his eyes, he waited for the moment. He felt nothing as it slid through his chest, and his body crumpled to the floor. Dammit...all...

In that World

After things had finished up in Inaba, the IT went back to their normal lives. The only one who felt like there was more to come was Yosuke, since he had caught his leader's look. And since he wasn't around as much, they couldn't gather together as often. He kept his ears open just in case. If the Midnight Channel would strike again he knew what to do.

Thing was, throughout the months nothing was coming up. He was getting restless after that entire P1 Grand Prix. That was complete bull shit by whatever that thing was. There had to be more coming! And yet whenever he would try to talk about it with anyone they would push the idea off. It was frustrating him more and more since they finally had a case to deal with. Thankfully for him, their leader was accepting in it.

"Yosuke, calm down. I'll be back over the summer and we can look more into this then." Those were the words he had been given. There was just some kind of sinking feeling inside of him - like it wouldn't get there. He wasn't quite sure why. And it was one day in late May that he got his answer. He'd been plucking some notes idly one day, since he couldn't get some sleep. when it came on.

"Well boy. You were wanting to find me. If you truly want to deal with me then you had better come get me. I am waiting for you inside of hear!"

The screen instantly flicked off, just like usual. The Midnight Channel had struck again. He tried giving Yu a call, figuring he'd be up but got nothing. "Dammit...rrgh guys I'm sorry but I can't wait!" He said softly. He would be able to find his way back after all, and into the TV world he went. The only thing that felt wrong was that he heard laughter while falling inside of the TV.

Landing gently on his feet, he took one look around. The area was a vast open plain casting out for so long. "...Well maybe I should have waited and gone in through Junes." He admitted, rubbing the back of his head. Feeling Susano-O though, he knew that he'd be safe if Shadows came after him.

"Yosuke." Came a call from behind him. Spinning around, he saw his friend smiling towards him. That was a relief that he wasn't alone. And - wait why was Yu there? "Partner, the - " He started to say before he felt a bolt of lightning shoot towards him. The hell was that about?! He quickly got his answer though.

"Did you honestly think I wanted you to be searching for this truth with me? The original case ended...and I feel it was on a sour note. Perhaps Izanami was right with the fact we should live in blissful ignorance." He said, his Persona deck flashing in front of him. That rang alarm bells inside of Yosuke's head. Was he being possessed by the Malevolent Entity? It made some sense. And the next lightning bolt shot at him told him to stop thinking.

"L-Lets do this...SUSANO-O!" He called forth, unleashing a Garudyne towards Yu. He didn't want to fight his partner, yet he had to snap him out of it. Twirling his kunai, he charged in from behind the winds, ready to lash out. What he did not expect was his friend to be ready with his Persona.

"You were always reckless Yosuke...that is why...this is goodbye." He said, Magatsu Izanagi at the ready and thrusting its blade straight out towards his rushing body. He had no time to guard himself, and found himself being impaled right through the chest. Blood came out of his mouth as he coughed in shock. Was this...really now it was going to end? Without them learning what was going on.

"My, you were such an easy boy to target. Always hasty to become some kind of hero." Called forth a dark voice that made him shudder. "To think that you were one to help take down a god? Please! You are just a joke...and no one will miss you."
