"My name is Connor as well, but I've grown accustomed to the name of Mute."

"Ok Mute, its nice to meet you, your brother has been so nice to me since I met him" Ki said before hugging Mute and Connor "I just know we'll be great friends"

While being hugged by Ki, I looked over his shoulder to stare my brother in the eye. Great friends? I think not?

Fuuka smiled at Virtu. "Thank you, you look lovely as well." She turned to Austin. "I know this will sound unbelievable, but there are creatures called Shadows that can exist in this world. I've detected two strong ones, but one of them just... vanished."

"A shadow... I think that thing called itself that, but it's gone now." Fang said, stroking his chin. "You're saying there's another one here?"

I walked over to Fang. "What's going on with shadows?"

"Well, there was one that well... how do I put this? He pretended to be me, and kept saying that... he needed to be freed, that he didn't want to be chained here. I finally realized he was the internal screams of my pathos, and... he became a closer part of me. I... I don't know how to describe it."

"There's apparently another one" Virtu said

I looked a Fuuka "Is there anyway I can help you?" I asked with a very slight blush

Ki let go of Mute "So, how was your life before this 'Purple Man' hurt you?"

"I'm not sure how safe it is to send anyone else in, but I can try contacting those inside. I need you to trust me." she said, pulling what looked like a pistol from a holster under her coat. In a rather surprising move, she pointed it directly towards her own head, and as she was about to pull the trigger, Foxy and Fang both cried out, saying "No!" and "Don't!" respectively.

"Guys wait! I know what she's about to do, that's no pistol" I said

"Huh?" Fang asked, tilting his head towards Austin.

Fuuka blushed, as she moved it away from her head. "I'm sorry, I forgot how... frightening it looks when you don't know what it does. This isn't a real gun, it's an Evoker, used to call forth my Persona. It won't hurt me, I promise."

I smiled "I know, I always wanted to have one of my own" I said as I hugged Fuuka without realizing it

"It was fun entertaining all of the kids. I was a favorite. and then... he came..." Mute looked down, and if animatronics had tears, he would have cried.

"I guess this is why my senpai wanted me to enhance her systems' database security." she said, seemingly more concerned with Austin's knowledge of top secret information than the hug. "Still... nobody that lacks the potential to wield a Persona should be active during the Dark Hour, even a contained instance like this." She backed away from Austin, and put the Evoker to her head, and shouted the name "Juno!", pulling the trigger. Shards of blue energy form from where the exit wound should be, coalescing into a mythical-looking being standing behind her. She held her Evoker out to Austin, holding it by the barrel. "Mine lacks any combat abilities, so I'm trusting you to get the others to safety."

Ethan walks towards Fuuka. "Fuuka is it? I think I know what the shadow is and it isn't good not at all."

The Puppet releases an unearthly mix of a howl and moan that can be heard by the outside group.

ki hugs Mute "Its ok now, you're with friends" He said

I nodded "Ok! Everyone, my house should be safe, come on!" I yelled

((Is it too late to join? I have some OCs I'd like to add :3))

"Yeah, I am," said Mute before walking up to me. "And I'm reunited with my brother as well."

Foxy smiled at the prospect of being able to finally see where Austin lives. "Heh, it seems ye will be payin' me back for that years-old favor I did ye." he said, with a slight chuckle in his voice.

Fuuka put a hand on Fang's shoulder. "Wait. I'd like to ask a favor of you. Since you have access to a combat Persona, would you be willing to go in there and rescue the others while Austin leads the others to safety?"

Fang shrugged. "I'd be happy to go in, but... um... I'm not really sure if I actually have one."

She smiled back at Fang. "You do, I can already sense great power coming from it. Let's see... you have Melchizedek, of the Justice arcana. He wields physical skills, as well as Light, Wind, and healing magic, and repels dark attacks. Two friends of mine are robotic Persona-users, but they have built-in evokers. Do you think you'd have anything that could work as one?"

Fang opened his leg panel, and pulled out his own pistol, leaving Evan's revolver concealed. "Well, this gun is completely out of bullets, if that'll work."

"I think that'll do just fine, mister...?" she said, suddenly realizing she'd neglected to ask the wolf his name.

"Fang. I think my intended name was Howly, but Fang's what everyone calls me."

Ethan says to Fuuka "When we go in stay together I personally know this enemy it picks it victims off one by one."

"Its no problem, and you can see something special I've been working on" I said

"This is going to be so cool" Ki said

Virtu looked at Foxy "I wonder what he wants to show us" She said

((Recap? I was gone for a week.))

(Me to I've been away for a bit)

Vardiy: hey Aro what are you trying to do how long I out for

Aro: hours I'm gonna kill your allies now bye (leaves)

Vardiy: well damm it…I better get my self free then

(Aro has entered from the show stage and is ready to eat any anamtronic till there not even a piece of scrap left watch out)

Aro: you bet I'm hungry (her mouth starts to charge up volts avoid that to)

((Well, everyone is leaving the building, most are coming to my house, while Yuuka and Fang are going in to take down the other shadow that's inside))

Ethan walks next to Fang with a desire for revenge in his eyes. "I'm coming with you." He says as he readys his axe.

The Puppet waits for it's prey to enter.

"Austin, how far is your house?" I asked.

"Not very far Connor, just a block away" I said

"Well then, when are we heading out?"

"When everyone is here and ready to go, I think we're waiting for Crystal, Sssnake, and Varidy" I said

"Wait, how do you know Varidy?" Ki asked

"I did some digging in the database of the restaurant" I replied

"Who are those three you just listed?"

"Well, I only know Varidy by name" I said

Ki butted in "Sssnake was made by Crystal, and Crystal... I like her... But she never acknowledges me when I tell her, she's more concerned about pranks"

(Suddenly Aro jumps onto the building of the pizzeria and shoots volts in the air!!)

Aro: main course animatronics!! (Charges up again)

I look up at the spider. "What is that?" I yell as I activate electric mode. Mute stood up by my side.

"Ok! Forget waiting!" I said I started running home, Ki, Golden Freddy, and Virtu followed, Virtu dragged Foxy

Mute snapped off part of his finger and handed it to me. I knew what to do. I threw the now electrified bit of animatronic costume at the spider before Mute and I ran to catch up to Austin and the others.

(??? Breaks Aro free now Aro is catching up and is reedy for and electric head rush and the ??? Has some grenades)

Vardiy: germades? Where do people get these stuff

(How can you even hear me…just try to free your self)

Vardiyk (tries to break free)

(Sorry, I was really busy for the past couple days. Did I miss anything really important?)

(A killer spider is chasing everyone home. That is pretty much it)

Crystal hid inside the building. She tried to alert the other animatronics, but her headset seemed to have run out of batteries.

(And Ethan is going to help Fang and Fuuka fight the shadow (THE PUPPET))
The Puppet whispers into Crystals mind "They can hear you but they don't care,they never cared about you or any thing you say. To them you TRASH WAITING TO BE THROWN AWAY!!!!

Fang nodded at Ethan, saying "I appreciate all the help I can get, so thanks". He started to walk, but turned to Fuuka, then, realizing she wasn't following. "You're not coming with?"

Fuuka smiled. "I can't really do much in an actual fight, but I can support you and provide intel from afar. I'll stay out here, but you won't be alone."

I grabbed my walkie-talkie "Crystal! You've gotta get out of there!" I said

Ethan said to Fang, "Fang I believe that the Puppet is the Shadow. We must stay together if my theory is right."

'I need batteries for this thing,' Crystal thought. She looked in the Lost and Found area of the pizza parlor, hoping to find some long-lost gadget with some sort of power source.

The Puppet hacks into Crystals ears and whispers."They can hear you but they don't care,they never cared about you or any thing you say. To them you ARE TRASH WAITING TO BE THROWN AWAY!!!!

"I agree, I mean, it was spewing darkness earlier. Well, I'd better give this a try..." Fang said, pulling out the pistol he stored in his leg, leaving the revolver in there. "I just put it to my head... and pull the trigger... no chickening out." he said, while still hesitating to pull the trigger. Fuuka's voice rang in Ethan's and his own mind,

• Guys, I'm detecting two lifeforms near the Shadow, one is the Magician arcana, but I'm getting no vitals, so it's probably an animatronic. The other is inhuman in shape, but has strong vitals, and is of the Strength arcana.
  

Gabe barged into the room that Crystal and the Puppet inhabited, completely unaware of the others' rescue efforts. "Crystal, don't listen to it! The others, we care about you! We need to get you out of here, before this place goes up in flames!"

I hand Ki the walkie-talkie "Get Crystal out of there" Ki said as we reached my house

We ran inside and Virtu pushed Foxy in before slamming the door shut "We should be safe now" Virtu said

I smiled "Virtu, Foxy, follow me to my bedroom" I said

Golden Freddy sat on my couch in the living room "I've never ran like that... except for that day..."

"Well that was fun," I said as I collapsed onto the couch, bumping Mute onto the floor.

Ethan heard Gabe. "Fang we need to GO NOW!" Ethan said as he moved towards Gabe's voice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Puppet moves into the Room were Crystal is, hiding in the shadows. The Puppet stealthily forces a shadowy tentacle into Gabe's back trying to make Gabe lose control of his bestial side. Then the Puppet sings a song.

"The world is going down in an augury of flame,
as Shadows stalk the night, all will lose this fight,
because hope dies tonight."

"Don't tell me they're going with that mouse-brained plan," Crystal complained. "What? I was reading some of those books in the lost and found! Got kinda sidetracked there."

"Ooh, I've been wantin' to see his quarters!" Foxy exclaimed, as he followed Austin to his room, holding Virtu by the hand.

Fang lowered the gun from his head, and he ran after Ethan, his feet clattering on the floor with metallic thuds. "I'm right behind you!" he called after the half-dragon.

• Guys, be careful! One of the beings' arcana... the one that was Strength... it's now the Devil, no, the Hunger, Tower, Jester, Death... it's changing too rapidly to be precise. Proceed with caution!

Gabe writhed in pain as his true animalistic nature started to take over. His form started to change even further from his 'normal' lycanthropic self, letting out loud roars, snarls and howls, interspersed with whimpers. Horns forced themselves out of his forehead, as feathered but batlike wings ripped from his back, and a lion-like mane sprouted around his head, as he lost complete control over that which he'd tried to hide from everyone, even his own family. Through the pain, he tried to hold onto as much rational thought as he could. No, no, I can't let anyone see me like this! I'm a normal therianthrope, like the rest of my family! I'm not a freak, I'm not a freak! This isn't the real me!
