Persona: Mask of Innocence

He blushed and hugged her back. "Navo...came out? H-he didn't hurt you, did he?" he asked.

 

"He almost did." Arisa sighed and looked at him. "Maybe you can tell us something."

 

He looked down, very upset. "What do you want me to tell you?" he asked.

 

Nakim cast another healing spell to ease Hattoris pain.

"How are you feeling?"

"I've been punched into a metal railing, crushed and fell off a roof. I've been better. Let's get out of here before anyone shows up to bother us."

 

Jett again stopped fighting and rolled his eyes as he watched the group not fighting, but instead worrying about the small drama going on between them.
"Pathetic." he hissed. "They let their feelings and obsessions get in the way of actually accomplishing something."
He jumped in the air, did a backflip just like in his training, and landed next to Ovan and Suki.
"I'm sorry." he said sarcastically. "But could you choose to have your little moment at a different time? Preferably when there aren't demons attacking us?"

 

"Who was the darkness that took over you?" Arisa asked, serious in her tone.

 

"My dark side, Navo. He has never come out before, but I hear him in my head. He is evil and crazy." he said.

 

Hattori got to the door, but was attacked by two wolf demons. The first lunged and head-butted him in the ribs, which made him stagger into the wall and slump to the floor. Hattori threw his scythe and it caught the demon in the neck. The other ran at him and bit his shoulder, which made him scream in pain. Hattori pulled a pocket knife out and stabbed the demon in the eye. The demon quickly let go and yelped in pain. Nakim took the opportunity to envelop the demon in a sphere of water and suffocated it.

"Took you long enough." Hattori said as he clutched his bleeding shoulder.

 

SHinji had barely got otu of class as he did sense other users like him in the campus and his teacher was very strict about no-one leaving until the lesson ended and he ran down a stairwell and he just caught a voice.

"My dark side, Navo, He has never come out before, but I hear him in my head. He is evil and crazy." teh voice said and SHinji turned a corner and saw Ovan, ARisa and Suki as he blinked a few times, it was either his mind playign trick on him or he could somehow see wings.

"It's not your mind playing a trick on you, they are indeed real, it's only other Persona users which can see them."

"Well, that answered oen of my questions Kumoi, but what on earth is going on with these three?

"I did sense a dark power and from what I can tell, this boy was controlled by this 'Navo' side."

"Spilt personailty." He said to himself without knowing as it was loud enough for those three to hear as he stared at them.

 

Hattori used what was left of the gauze and wrapped his shoulder up.

"Now what should we do, Hattori?"

"We get out of here. I've lost enough blood as is."

 

Arisa heard him and turned around. "Yes, may I help you?"

 

Hattori struggled to stand up and staggered to the door. Nakim stood in his way.

"Get out of the way, Nakim."

"No, Hattori. You're in no condition to be going anywhere. You need rest."

"And where do you suggest I do that? In case you forgot, there's a demon infestation here."

"The nurses office seems safe. There's a bed and some medicine in there."

Hattori sighed. "Alright, I'll go there. You have to keep watch though."

"Understood."

Hattori staggered off to the nurses office. Luckily no one was in the room. He laid down on the bed and quickly dozed off while Nakim kept watch.

 

Jett was fighting perfectly fine until something stabbed him in the back (literally), causing him to fall to the ground. He was on his knees and turned around to see a wolf demon with his blood on it's claws.
"Play dead!" Jett joked as he stabbed the demon with his chakra.
A few other wolf demons noticed this and attacked him. By the time Jett had killed them all, he had several scratches all over him and he felt very dizzy. He took one last glance at the group that was talking and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Jett!" Xawnd shouted, flying to Jett's side. "Jett, wake up!"
The persona rested a hand on Jett and within a few minutes, Jett was half conscious.
"Xa-Xawnd." he whispered, his eyes half opened. "I can't stay here. Quick, take me somewhere else."
Xawnd nodded, carried Jett on his back, and flew away.

 

Hattori woke up a short time later.

"Have things calmed down out there?"

"Not at all. If anything, things are getting worse."

 

"Sorry young lady, but no, although, I believe you need help." He said kidnly to her as his hands were in his pockets, staring at Arisa back.

 

Xawnd landed on a small grassy hill in the center of a park and put Jett down.
"H-How did th-that happen?" Jett silently asked his face burried in the long grass.
"You used only your darkness to attack those wolf demons." Xawnd answered, his head so low that his eyes were just above the tips of the grass. "Thus, you used too much darkness. Think of it as an overdose, leaving you unconscious. I told you before, you have the gift to use darkness and light at the same time. Unlike that Ovan kid, darkness cannot take over you, but you can give yourself and overdose of it. Also, light doesn't control you either. Basically, both are just elements you can use without worrying about being controlled by either. It's an amazing gift, really. You just need to learn how to use it correctly."
"I'm sorry." Jett said, sitting up. "The darkness simply intrigues me, and that is one of my flaws. Let's just get back to my school to make sure everyone's alright."
"No." Xawnd said, lifting his head so that it was no longer near the grass. "You need your rest or else you'll simply fall unconscious again the minute you arrive there."
With a sigh, Jett layed down in the soft grass and waited a little while before falling asleep.

 

Arisa was put to say something when she clutched her hands to her head and fell unconscious. Suki gasped. "Can you help me get her to the hopsital?!"

 

Hattori started to get up.

"Where are you going, Hattori? You still need rest."

"Chill out, Nakim. I'm just getting some asprin. I've got a major headache."

 

Ovan got to his feet and said "Yeah, lets go."

 

"Is it far?" Suki said, holding her unconscious sister.
