Persona: Mask of Innocence

Jett turned around just in time to see the monster collapse to the ground.
"Pathetic creature..." Xawnd muttered, following after Jett. "Get back here! You need to speak with these people. They probably have more knowledge of these powers than you do."
Rage began growing inside of Jett. His persona was constantly changing from darkness to light. Currently, it was in it's dark stage where it is rude and almost evil. When it is in it's light stage, it is more heroic and intelligent.
"I don't need to speak with them..."
"Fine then. But, they will find you again. Once people with powers meet, they never lose their sense of each other. Your destinies are intertwined."
"I have my own destiny!" Jett shouted before calming down again. "I knew that these powers would one day lead me to nothing but misery. Now, these creatures will show up even more. I'll eventually have to use my powers in front of thousands of people in order to help stop these creatures. After that, they'll probably take me away and keep me in a lab for the rest of my life so that my powers can be studied. All because of these stupid powers..."
He cursed under his breath and walked away, but for the first time ever, Xawnd didn't follow. Rain began pouring down as well.
"If that is what you want..." the persona whispered, tears in it's eyes and rain falling down on it. "Then I guess I'll have to just leave you to live your life your way. My mix of darkness and light is only a reflection of you. However, apparently I'm not a privilege. To you, I am merely a punishment. Goodbye...friend."
Xawnd turned around and summoned it's wings...then flew away.

 

"You should probably say something, Hattori."

"Why bother? He brought it upon himself."

"You really can be a jerk, you know that?"

Hattori just shrugged his shoulders. "I told you I don't get involved in other peoples problems. Now come on, we'd better make sure there aren't more of these creatures running about." He said as he walked on. Nakim just sighed and followed.

 

Spades headed back to the school as his weapon returned to being a spirit.

 

Jett decided to skip his next class and hang out on the roof. Once he reached it, he saw Xawnd flying towards him. The persona landed right next to him and looked up at him.
"Quite a show you put on back there." Jett said, smirking.
"I did it to help you." Xawnd said walking around the top of the building. "Now, those others think that you have lost your persona. They will leave you alone and eventually forget you ever had one in the first place. Everything will be back to normal."
"Thank you." he said. "That's all I wanted. You know, you're a really great perso-"
"Slow down." Xawnd said, cutting Jett off. "You owe me. In order to pay for my good deed, you shall not use this time to hang out, but instead use it to practice your powers."
Jett thought about it and sighed. "Fine."
Xawnd summoned ten glowing round balls, each a different color and threw them high into the air. The persona then made a blindfold cover Jett's eyes.
"Now," Xawnd said. "Use a chakra to hit the red ball."
Jett thought hard and tried sensing each ball and it's color. Quickly, he took out a chakra and threw it directly at one specific ball that exploded once the chakra touched it.
"Well done, but incorrect." Xawnd said as each ball fell to the ground. He picked up one that was red and told Jett to take off the blindfold. "This is the red ball. You hit the green one. Now put the blindfold back on, and hit the blue ball when I tell you to."
Jett sighed and tied the blindfold around his head so that he again could not see a thing.
"Go!"
He took merely two seconds of thought and sent a chakra spinning through the air. The chakra hit and destroyed the blue ball.
"Is that all you got?" he asked, taking off the blindfold.
Xawnd grinned and said "You should know that I always have something else up my sleeve."

 

"We better head back."

"Yeah, you're right. Let's get going." Hattori said as he put away his scythe.

 

"Dang!" Ovan siad. "I always miss out on the fun." He dismissed the katana and walked over to the others.

 

Hattori walked passed Ovan without even looking at him.

 

Spades was back to the class room and waited seeing how his class was cut short.

 

"Should you even bother going back to class?"

"Might as well. I left my books in there."

 

Arisa sat up and gasped for air after the monster disappeared. Icarus appeared and gave her the Evoker. She stood up and walked away.

 

Hattori grabbed his backpack and walked out of the school.

"You skipping school again, Hattori? What would your parents say?"

"They wouldn't care less. They threw me out because of you, remember?"

 

Suki walked into Ovan on her way to her next class. "Owie..... Hermes, why am I always clusmy?!"

"That's your own fault, Suki."

 

Ovan also fell back. He got to his feet and brushed himself off. "You alright?" he asked her, holding out his hand to help her up.

 

"Yeah, I'm alright." Suki stood up with his help. "My name is Suki."

 

"Ovan." he said, smiling. "Nice wings."

 

"Why do you keep skipping school?" Nakim asked Hattori as they passed by Ovan and Suki.

"What's the point in coming? I already know all the stuff they teach here."

 

"Thanks. I have a sister with wings like this but they're blue." Suki paused when she heard beautiful piano music. "Nee-chan?"

 

"Is someone playing the piano, or am I going nuts, Nakim?"

"There's definately someone playing the piano. Want to check it out?"

"Might as well. Nothing better to do."

 

"Is she as cute as you?" he asked.

 

"Hold up, Hattori. I'm sensing some demons."

"Here?! Oh man, this is gonna get messy....Where're they at?"

"The roof, basement, everywhere."

"And your just now telling me this why?" Hattori said before drawing his scythe. He sighed. "Let's get to work."
