"I don't know, I just did that thing Fang does with the gun and it appeared" Virtu said

"It was some kind of Persona I guess" I said

"Crazy? You're calling me crazy?!" Crystal snarled. "I'll give you a good reason to call me crazy!" She leaped at Emile.

"Maybe it was one that wasn't fully formed?" Fang suggested, not entirely understanding it himself. "At any rate, it helped get the job done."

*Emile kicks Crystal off of himself**Toy Chica walks into P&S**Emile slams the door on Toy Chicas face* "Guys!! It's about to get bad in here!" Said Emile

Ki grabs Crystal "He didn't know! He didn't know Crystal!" He said as he started making crying sounds, he pulled Crystal out of P&S through the Emergency Exit "Please Crystal, listen to me! I love you!" He said before kissing Crystal

I led everyone out "I'll deal with Chica, just go!" I said

"Hey, you don't need to deal with her alone." Gabe said, walking with Austin. "I'll be able to help."

"Yeah, if anything gets ugly, you might need someone who can hold 'er back with his bear arms." Fang said, winking much to Gabe's chagrin.

"Are you sure? I'd love to mount that things head on my wall of shame!!" Emile said

Ethan frowned. "The Puppet is not dead its recovering by dawn it will be back in it box." Picking up his ax he move near the door

"Wait! I've got a plan to stop the puppet! You distract it and kick it down then ill shove a match down its throat. Okay?" Emile said

"These Toy animatronics, they're... a lot different from the animatronics you know. Some of the best technology from '87, to be sure, but they all lack a component that the originals and later models both have. Best I figure they removed an unusual material, to hopefully make them less murdery, but in this case, it did the opposite.

"Guys, the Puppet won't return if there's nothing to return in" Golden Freddy said as he pulled Ethan and Emile outside

Virtu just stood there with Foxy, watching Ki kiss Crystal

"Fang, go... this is our fight" I said as I started turning into my were-fox form

Fang gave a short nod, then turned to leave with the others. "Fuuka, keep us updated with each others' statuses, please."

• Okay, I'll do my best.

Gabe started to shift into his werewolf form, but something seemed a little... 'off' about his lupine appearance. nothing immediately discernible. "You ready for this, Austin?"

Ethan frowned. "Box can't be destroyed I know I tried." Ethan then said " I'm coming with you guys."

"Ready, Ethan... This is not your fight... I've been waiting for the chance to stop the madness, now go!" I said

"I know he looks normal, but he's... how do I put it? He's like us." Gabe said, stretching his arm behind the back of his head.

Ethan nodded."Lets do this thing."

Connor and I had been standing quietly with everyone else and followed them out of the Parts and Services. I looked at my fake pirate gun. "Hey, does that persona thing require a specific gun?"

Fang shrugged. "I'm not entirely sure, I just used this unloaded one." he said, holding out the gun he'd gotten back from Virtu, before Fuuka's voice rang in their heads.

• Personae are easier to summon during a Dark Hour like this one, so I think it'd be safe to give it a try.

"Well, here goes nothing," I said as I put the fake gun to my head. I fired it and red energy flowed from my head, forming a muscular, red-skinned, brutish humanoid with horns on his forehead and spikes along his back. He looked at me. "Name... Fornu."

Crystal pulled herself out of Ki's grasp. She was a little happy that someone cared, but she was still angry at Emilie for taunting her and calling her crazy. "The only head that's going to be on the wall is yours!" she growled, leaping at him again.

"Woah! Calm down, guys!" Peyton said worriedly.

"Jeesh jeesh, I didn't know ms. Anger issues" Emile said after kicking Crystal off himself once again then he ran and hid.

Ki grabbed Crystal "He's not worth it Crystal" He said as he brought her into a hug

"Lets do it then" I said

Virtu smiled, she was happy for her brother

I reached out and tried to shake hands with Fornu, but he didn't understand the concept of a handshake, so I just high-fived him. I handed the gun to Connor. "You try."
Connor pit the gun to his head and fired. A stream of red energy flowed from his head, forming a copy of Fornu. "Name... Fornu."
"I'm Connor." Fornu just stared at Connor. "Hello?" No response. "Can you hear me?" Silence. I laughed. "We should call him Deaf."
Connor laughed as well. "Okay, Deaf it is."

"Whoa..." Fang remarked. "Those look, well, really powerful. I wonder why more people don't know about this power..."

• It probably has something to do with the state of this place... when my friends and I were first using them, it was in a similar atmosphere. Combined with the negative human emotions that must be haunting this place, it's no surprise the stress would be high enough to bring them out... Okay, I just finished scanning your Personae. While they look the same, I believe Mute's persona is of the Star arcana, and Connor's is of the Hanged Man arcana.

Virtu looked at Connor and Mute "Send them in" She said

I stood there, waiting for the others to be ready before starting what just might be the final fight of my life

Ethan looked anxious.
______________-
The Puppet escapes the Vortex and yells IT'S ME IT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

"Send 'em where, again?" I asked. "And how are Fornu and Deaf different?" Suddenly I heard the Puppet. I then looked to Fornu and Mute and pushed them to the pizzeria. "Get the Puppet."

The Puppet begins wandering.
-----------------------
Ethan sees an extra Evoker and picks it up.

I opened the door into the restaurant and puncher Toy Chica in the face "Ow!" She said before running off crying "Ooookkkkkkk..." I said, wondering why she was crying if she was evil

Crystal looked at Ki. "Do you think Austin's acting strange?" she asked. "It's not normally like him to punch stuff in the face. Maybe it's that infernal puppet…"

"I think he's had enough of this insanity" Ki said "But can we talk about you and me? You know I like you, but I want to know if you like me back"

I looked around and found Toy Chica "Hey, I'm sorry for hitting you" I said before she hugged me

"I just wanted to say I was sorry for scaring you and your friends, I know you did what you thought was right" Toy Chica said

"Go outside, this place is going to be a battlefield when I find that Puppet and I don't want you to get hurt" I said before sending Toy Chica outside

"Chica, are you ok?" Virtu asked

"I'm fine, I want to come with you guys" Toy Chica said

"I'm sure we can save that kind of stuff until after we defeat the Puppet. You know how in those video games, people say they're in love after the final boss battle?" Crystal reasoned.

"I guess it makes sense, but I think it would be safer to stay out here, I don't think we should get in Austin's way, he hit Toy Chica because she scared him accidentally, if we go in there, he might do something... Or worse the Puppet could try to hurt you again" Ki said

The Puppet hacks into Chase's legs and makes him move towards the Puppet.

Chase was just moving his legs as Virtu picked him up "Mom, I'm not doing this" He said

"That puppet! Austin! Kick his ***!" Virtu yelled inside

I saw the puppet, snuck up on him, and put him in a sleeper hold "I've had enough of your ****! Why must you be evil? I can make you nice!" I said

Deaf and Fornu made their way towards the Puppet. After glancing at each other, they both charged towards the Puppet.

"Stop! I've got this!" I yelled

The Puppet's head turned to Austin (just the head) and said. "NO!!!" It then teleported away but not before it teleported Chase right out of Virtu's hands.

((Austin and Puppet were inside, Virtu and Chase were outside))

I was away again what happen?)

"For the sixteenth time this week: I'm seriously reconsidering living here," Crystal growled.

The Puppet appears in its lair.

"We have to get Chase back" Ki said

I just stood there "There's no way we can stop this... thing... It escaped a vortex!" I said

Chase appeared next to Puppet "Puppet sir, please don't hurt me" He said

Virtu stood there in shock "No... NO!!!!!" She yelled as she put her face in Foxy's chest

Toy Chica hugged Virtu "We'll get him back" She said

The Puppet says to Chase "No."
______________________

Ethan puts the Evoker away when he hears Virtu's shouts he rushes out side. "What happened?"

"He's gone..." Virtu said "My son is gone"

"Why do this? I'm just a kid" Chase said

Gabe turned to Austin, looking like he was deep in thought. "Okay, the Shadow that Fang had fought was based on his emotions, right? Well, what if this thing is based on someone here as well? What if someone needs to accept it?"

"You bet we'll get 'im back. I'll claw that ****ing bastard to bits if I have to!" Foxy said, as a firey passion lit in his eyes.

Ethan aims his evoker towards his head and fires it causing blue shards to fly out of his head. The shards transform into a red and black draconic knight wielding a weapon that is a mix of an ax and a scythe.
____________________________________________
The Puppet laughs at Chase as it starts plunging tentacles made of Shadows into Chase.

"But who?" I asked

Virtu looked at Foxy, she actually looked like she was crying! "Get him! Go! Get Chase and take that Puppet down!" She cried

Chase started feeling sick "Stop... My family will stop you..." He said before passing out

The Puppet laughs a mind rending laugh that's also part groan then saying. "Not in time."
--------------
Ethan's Persona looks at him. It has a feeling of change oozing off of it.
