Chapter 602: Yukari Takeba

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tatsumi Port Island. 

 

June 20, x788. 

 

Another day passed after those who entered Tartarus during the Dark Hour returned. While Alfonzo, Elicia, Alzack, and Bisca took the time to tour around the island in pairs, Mitsuru and Akihiko went to school like the students they were. However, after the school day ended, they made their way towards the hotel where Alfonzo and the others were staying. 

 

The reason for their unannounced visit was because Akihiko wanted to talk to the wizards from Fairy Tail. And if he was lucky, he would get the chance to spar with one, if not all, of them. Mitsuru, on the other hand, only followed along to make sure that Akihiko did not cause any trouble. 

 

However, neither of them n noticed that they were being followed all the way until they knocked on the door of Alfonzo Elicia's room 

 

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!* 

 

"Tch! It's not room service." Elicia grumbled from the inside of the room. "It's only Mitsuru and Aki." 

 

Hearing that, Akihiko looked at Mitsuru in confusion. 

 

"They said something about being able to feel everything with magic power in a certain radius." Mitsuru said, replying to Akihiko's unasked question. "And they probably remembered the feeling of our magic power." 

 

"Ah! I see." Akihiko said in an understanding tone. "That would be useful the next time I got out to train." 

 

"Do you ever think about anything other than training?" Mitsuru asked. 

 

"Is there anything else to think about?" Akihiko asked in genuinely confused tone. 

 

At that moment, the door to the room opened. Elicia stood in the open doorway with a smile on her face. 

 

"Wasn't expecting to see you until tonight." Elicia said cheerfully. "Let me guess, Aki couldn't wait until the quest was over to ask for a spar, could he?" 

 

"*Sigh* They only met you once, Akihiko." Mitsuru said in an exasperated tone as she glanced to her side. "And they can already figure out your habits." 

 

In response, Akihiko only scratched the side of his head awkwardly. 

 

"Anyway, why don't you all come in." Elicia said with a smile. "Oh, bring the friend you left around the corner, too. The more the merrier, after all." 

 

Hearing that, Mitsuru and Akihiko both wore confused expressions. And when Elicia saw that, she put on a confused expression of her own. 

 

"Hmm? They're not with you, then?" Elicia asked as she tilted her head in confusion. "But their magic power moves in a way that is similar to yours. So, I thought you were bringing a new member of your future team to meet us." 

 

That caused Mitsuru's expression to change to one filled with surprise. Then, her eyes narrowed. 

 

"We didn't bring anyone with us." Mitsuru said in a cold tone. "It seems we have a spy. Do you think you could catch them, Miss Elicia?" 

 

"*Sigh* I told you, call me Lici." Elicia said as she flicked her wrist. "And I can catch them, no problem." 

 

Hearing that, the one following Mitsuru and Akihiko panicked. Then, they quickly turned around to run. However, before they could even take a step, they were wrapped up tightly by Elicia's threads. 

 

"Kya! What is this?" A female voice yelped from around the corner. "Is this... thread? But where did they come from?" 

 

A moment later, a teenage girl with light brown hair and brown eyes, wrapped up in a cocoon of threads with only her head showing, was dragged around the corner. And she was naturally struggling to free herself the whole time. 

 

"Takeba?" Mitsuru asked after seeing the girl's face. "Why are you here? And why were you following us?" 

 

In response, the girl, Takeba, or rather, Yukari Takeba, averted her eyes from the three people standing in front of her. Unfortunately, that did not allow her to avoid the interrogative gazes from the three. 

 

"Mitsuru, do you recognize her?" Akihiko asked while studying Yukari. 

 

"Yes." Mitsuru replied with a nod. "She's a first-year student at our school." 

 

Hearing that, Akihiko nodded his head, as well. Meanwhile, Elicia studied Yukari, as well. 

 

'I guess she's trying to find clues about her father's death from ten years ago.' Elicia thought to herself. 'It's no surprise that she already knew that her father worked for the Kirijo Group. She just has no idea what actually happened.' 

 

"So, are you going to answer my question, Takeba?" Mitsuru asked as she crossed her arms in front of her. 

 

"Well, you see…" Yukari said while still not making eye contact with anyone. "While I was on my way home, I saw the two of you walking into this hotel. And I was surprised. So, I followed you, wanting to get some good gossip. 'The president of the Student Council and the captain of the Boxing Team have an elicit rendezvous off school grounds.' Or something like that." 

 

"Pfft! Hahahahahaha!" Elicia laughed uproariously after hearing Yukari's, clearly made up on the spot, explanation. 

 

Meanwhile, Akihiko wore a confused expression. On the other hand, Mitsuru's expression turned extremely dark. And if it weren't for her good upbringing and the training she had undergone to keep her emotions in check, Elicia had no doubt that she would have summoned her Persona, Penthesilea, and turned Yukari into an ice statue on the spot. 

 

On a side note, aside from being able to scan enemies and map Tartarus, Penthesilea is also quite formidable in battle, having the ability to use [Ice Magic]. On top of that, Mitsuru is also quite skilled in the use of the rapier. Unfortunately, because there is no one to provide support from the back lines, Mitsuru had been relegated to the support role. 

 

"Hey, Lici, what's going on out there?" Alfonzo asked as he appeared in the doorway of the room. 

 

"Haha… O.M.G. Haha! Fonzie… You're… Hahaha!" Elicia tried to answer Alfonzo's question. Unfortunately, she was laughing too hard to form a complete sentence. 

 

Smiling helplessly at his wife, Alfonzo turned an inquisitive gaze towards Mitsuru and Akihiko. However, Mitsuru was staring bloody murder at Yukari and Akihiko was too confused to notice. So, he could only wait until Elicia calmed down enough to explain. 

 

A couple of minutes later, Elicia finally got her laughter under control. By that time, Alzack and Bisca, who were out strolling around the island on a date, had returned and were thoroughly confused. However, they, too, were forced to wait for Elicia to calm down to get an explanation. And when they finally heard what happened… 

 

"Hahahahahahaha!" x 3 

 

… Alfonzo, Alzack, and Bisca all burst into raucous laughter. 

 

Unfortunately, all the laughter annoyed the other guests who rented rooms on the same corridor. So, along with the delivery of the room service to Alfonzo and Elicia's room, the manager also came to scold them and ask them to keep the noise down. However, when the manager saw that Mitsuru was with the group of people making all the noise, he quietly backed down without saying anything. 

 

"Anyway, why don't we all go inside." Alfonzo said while wiping a tear from his eye. "We can talk about why the three of you showed up at our door while Lici and I have a bite to eat." 

 

With that, Elicia unbound Yukari. Then, Alfonzo and Elicia took the lead in entering their hotel room, closely followed by Alzack and Bisca. Meanwhile, Mitsuru was still staring at Yukari with a murderous gaze. However, she eventually exhaled an exasperated sigh before dragging Akihiko into the room, as well. 

 

Meanwhile, Yukari slowly picked herself up from the floor. Then, she stared at the open hotel room door while contemplating running away. However, she eventually gritted her teeth before entering the room, too. 

 

'I don't know why they came here, but if I go inside I might find out.' Yukari thought to herself with a stern expression on her face. 'Besides, that was Elicia Taylor, the famous Magic Seamstress. And the guy who came with her was Alfonzo Marcus, they're both S-class wizards from Fairy Tail. Which means, something big must be happening. And I wanna know what it is.' 

 

After having those thoughts, Yukari's face flushed in excitement as she continued her internal monologue. 

 

'I might be able to get some clothes personally designed for me by the Magic Seamstress, too.' Yukari thought as she closed the door to the hotel room behind her. 

 

To Yukari's surprise, as soon as the door closed behind her, she was once again wrapped up by threads. Then, she was pulled into a corner of the room that had been blocked off by curtains that were hanging from metal rails that seemed to be sticking to the walls. 

 

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Yukari shouted in both confusion and indignation. "And why are you taking my clothes off? Aren't you married? Hey! Stop!" 

 

"Why are you asking such silly questions?" Elicia asked in a cheerful tone. "Of course I'm married. And I love my Fonzie so~~~~ much. But how am I supposed to take proper measurements if you're dressed? And if the measurements are off, the clothes I make won't fit you properly. And I can't have that." 

 

Immediately, Yukari's eyes widened as her struggles came to a sudden stop. She had just been thinking about getting some clothes from Elicia. And now that dream was coming true. Still, she pouted at the way it happened. 

 

'She didn't have to drag me in here like this, though.' Yukari grumbled to herself. 'If she had just told me that was what she was doing, I would have agreed right away.' 

 

"By the way, what's your name?" Elicia asked as she finished undressing Yukari. "I'm Elicia Taylor. But you can just call me Lici. I'm the owner of the Taylor Shop. I'm an S-Class wizard from Fairy Tail, too…" 

 

While Elicia's onslaught of words seemed never ending, she efficiently took Yukari's measurements. Meanwhile, outside of the curtain, which was created by Alfonzo and Elicia using their [Metal Magic] and Thread Magic], respectively, Mitsuru's eyes turned somewhat vacant as she stared off into the distance. The memories of how Elicia basically treated her the same way, just in her own home, flashing through her mind. 

 

"Anyway, why did the two of you come here?' Alfonzo asked, breaking the strange atmosphere. "We would have seen each other tonight, anyway, right?" 

 

"It's because Akihiko wanted to spar with you. Mitsuru said after she regained her senses. "And I came with him to stop him from going too far if you rejected." 

 

"But didn't we say we would spar with him after the quest was complete?" Bisca asked in a curious tone. 

 

"*Sigh* He's just got a one track mind." Mitsuru said. "He's the type to not stop until he gets a fight that he wants." 

 

Immediately, the same image of Akihiko's hair turning pink and spiky while flames were spewing from his mouth appeared in the heads of Alfonzo, Alzack, and Bisca. Then, they all had to try their best to not laugh out loud. 

 

"More important than that, Miss Elicia said something about Takeba having a feel similar to the two of us." Mitsuru said in a quizzical tone. "What did she mean?" 

 

"Oh, now that you mention it." Alfonzo said while glancing at the curtained off area of the room. "Yeah, she feels like she has the 'potential' you all were talking about." 

 

That caused Mitsuru and Akihiko to widen their eyes. Then, like Alfonzo, they shifted their gazes towards the curtained off area, as well. 

 

"What is this 'potential' you're talking about?" Yukari asked from behind the curtain, as she had been paying attention to the conversation going on in the rest of the room while ignoring Elicia's word barrage. 

 

A moment later, the curtains opened and Yukari stepped out of the curtained off area, fully dressed once again. However, Elicia stayed in the curtained off area while sketching on a note pad. 

 

'Hmm… She's got low C-Class magic power reserves, too." Alzack muttered while watching Yukari approach. 

 

Meanwhile, Mitsuru and Akihiko exchanged glances. Then, they nodded to each other before Mitsuru stepped forward and explained the Dark Hour and Tartarus to Yukari. 

 

'So, is that why I've been sleeping about an hour less than usual?' Yukari thought to herself after hearing Mitsuru's explanation. 'Because I've been sleeping through this… Dark Hour?' 

 

"Takeba, we need people like you to help us investigate the truth about the dark Hour.' Mitsuru said in a solemn tone. 'Right now, the wizards from Fairy Tail are doing the preliminary investigations at the request of the Kirijo Group. But they won't be here for long. So, I beseech you, please join us to deal with this threat." 

 

Everyone else in the room fell silent after Mitsuru made her request. While Alfonzo, Alzack, Bisca, Mitsuru, and Akihiko waited for Yukari's reply, Elicia was not paying attention to the conversation at all, as she was having too much fun designing clothes for Yukari. Yukari, on the other hand, lowered her head as she fell into thought. 

 

'She wants me to help them fight?' Yukari thought to herself. 'But I've never been in a fight in my life. The only training I have with a weapon is the time I've spent in the school's archery club. But that's not really useful in a fight. I don't know if I could handle that. Then again, if I follow them into these fights, I could get closer to the Kirijo Group. And I would be able to find out what really happened to my father much easier.' 

 

Reaching that point, Yukari's expression turned resolute. Then, with that same level of resolve flashing in her eyes, she raised her head and looked Mitsuru in her eyes. 

 

"I accept." Yukari said solemnly. "If you need my help to keep the people of Tatsumi Port Island safe, I'll lend you my strength." 

 

Hearing that, Mitsuru and Akihiko sighed in relief. Meanwhile, Alzack and Bisca smiled. Alfonzo, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes while staring at Yukari, who did not seem to notice his gaze. 

 

'She probably joined to find out about her father.' Alfonzo thought to himself. 'Just like she did in the game. But I wonder how much of this will be similar to the game. On top of that, will Nyx appear? And if he does, should I come here and deal with him myself? But what about the silent protagonist, Mikoto Yuki? Will he have to be sacrificed to keep the Dark Hour from reappearing after Nyx is put down? *Sigh* I guess I'll have to make something to stop that before the time comes, won't I? The Answer was so stupid that I can't bear to let it happen in this reality.'

Chapter 603: Yukari's Shock and Awe

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tatsumi Port Island.

 

June 20, x788.

 

After Yukari accepted Mitsuru's invitation to join the future S.E.E.S., the rest of the afternoon was spent explaining what she was getting herself into. And although she did not accept simply on the spur of the moment, she was not ready for what she heard.

 

"Wait, so you're telling me that the school transforms into a gigantic tower every night at midnight?" Yukari asked in a disbelieving tone while she walked with Mitsuru, Akihiko, and the wizards from Fairy Tail towards Gekkokan High School. "But that should be impossible."

 

"In a world filled with magic, almost nothing is impossible." Alfonzo said with a smile. "I've even fought things that just grew their heads back after I cut them off. So, a building transforming into something else is way outside the realm of impossibility."

 

Hearing that, not only Yukari, but even Mitsuru and Akihiko looked at Alfonzo with dumbfounded expressions. Alzack and Bisca also looked at him with strange expressions. Even though they had heard about the fight with the homunculi before, they still could not imagine something like that.

 

The only person who was unfazed was Elicia, who had also fought with the homunculus in the past.

 

"What can I say?" Elicia asked while shrugging her shoulders. "Not everyone dies when they are killed."

 

With that, all the incredulous expressions shifted towards Elicia.

 

"I basically ripped one of those things apart from the inside out." Elicia continued after feeling everyone's gazes. "And it just regrew a new body less than a minute later.

 

When they heard Elicia's explanation, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Yukari felt that she was just messing with them. Growing back a head was hard enough to believe. But a whole body was simply too farfetched.

 

"Well, I can understand why you don't believe me." Elicia said with a smile while shaking her head. "I wouldn't have believed it either if I didn't experience it myself, after all."

 

June 21, x788.

 

Before the conversation could continue, the clock struck midnight and the Dark Hour came once again. And when it did, Yukari, who had never been awake to experience it, began to tremble. The atmosphere created by this strange time of the day rattling her badly.

 

"Is this... the Dark Hour?" Yukari asked in a shaky tone while looking around with a frightened expression on her face. "It's so... creepy."

 

"Yes, this is what we're trying to keep people safe from." Mitsuru said in a solemn tone. Then, she pointed towards the place where Gekkokan High School once stood. "And we think the answer to all our questions can be found at the top of that tower."

 

Following the direction of Mitsuru's pointing finger, Yukari's eyes and mouth opened wide when she saw the outer appearance of Tartarus, she began trembling even harder.

 

"No... way..." Yukari mumbled at a volume that was barely louder than a whisper.

 

"Well, let's go inside." Alzack said. "We only have an hour."

 

Nodding in response, Alfonzo, Elicia, and Bisca made their way inside of Tartarus with Alzack. Meanwhile, Akihiko followed them without hesitation. Mitsuru, on the other hand, glanced at Yukari, who was still stunned into inaction. Then, she started pushing her motorcycle inside, as well.

 

"You've agreed to participate in something quite large in scale." Mitsuru said while walking away. "And I understand you did not know what you were getting yourself into. So, if you decide to leave now, no one will blame you. But if you decide to follow us after tonight, I'm afraid there will be no turning back."

 

After saying that, Mitsuru disappeared past the doors of Tartarus, leaving Yukari with a conflicted expression on her face. But she eventually gritted her teeth and followed everyone else with resolute steps.

 

However, when Yukari finally stepped into Tartarus' entrance hall, she was thoroughly dumbfounded when she saw Mitsuru holding what appeared to be a magic pistol to the side of her head.

 

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Yukari shouted in shock.

 

Even so, Mitsuru did not even flinch, as she pulled the trigger.

 

*Bang!*

 

"[Penthesilea]." Mitsuru chanted as her head jerked to one side.

 

"Kya~~~!" Yukari screamed when she saw that.

 

However, Yukari's scream did not last very long when she saw the figure of Penthesilea materialize behind Mitsuru.

 

"That's how we summon the Personas we told you about." Akihiko said, giving Yukari an explanation. "That gun Mitsuru is holding is called an Evoker Pistol. And after tonight, you'll have one, too."

 

Hearing Akihiko's explanation, Yukari turned towards him with an angry expression on her face.

 

"Why didn't you tell me about that before!?" Yukari shouted. "I almost had a heart attack. I thought she was going to kill herself."

 

"OH... Now that you mention it." Akihiko said while scratching his head. "I guess we probably should have mentioned that, huh?"

 

Seeing Akihiko's nonchalant reaction, Yukari felt she just landed a full powered punch on a wall of cotton. So, instead of staying angry, she just let her shoulder slump. Then, she looked at everyone else, who did not seem to be bothered. In fact, the wizards from Fairy Tail were all wearing amused smiles after seeing her reaction.

 

"Alright, now that the show is over, let's get going." Alfonzo said with a grin as he approached Mitsuru with his hand out.

 

Elicia, Alzack, and Bisca also approached Mitsuru. And when they were within an arm's reach, Mitsuru handed each of them a communication device. Then, after the four Fairy Tail wizards put them on, they all moved towards the teleporter platform before heading up to the eleventh floor.

 

Not long after the four from Fairy Tail disappeared, Mitsuru handed communication devices to Akihiko and Yukari, as well.

 

Meanwhile, Alfonzo, Elicia, Alzack, and Bisca made their way up the long flight of stairs to face the second guardian. And what they saw surprised them.

 

Instead of one Shadow, there were three. Two of which, they were familiar with, as they were the Magic Hands they had been dealing with since the moment they entered Tartarus. However, they were about fifty percent bigger than the normal ones.

 

But the third monster was the one they felt an actual threat from. It appeared to be a large, rubber tire on a fancy metal rim with a lion's head sticking out of one side of the tire. And based on the way it rolled around the arena area, it was quite quick and probably hit quite hard, as well.

 

"Giant, severed hands, I can believe." Bisca said as she watched the three Shadows move around the area. "but now we're fighting sentient wheels? What is this world coming to?"

 

"Who knows?" Alfonzo replied with a shrug. "But we can think about that later. We don't have the time to contemplate right now. Alzack, Bisca, handle those Magic Hands. Hopefully they have the same weakness as the ones on the lower floors."

 

"Got it." Alzack and Bisca replied simultaneously as they both loaded [Fire Ball Shots] into their guns. Meanwhile, Alfonzo charged forward to attack the sentient wheel.

 

{"That' Shadow is called the Barbaric Beast Wheel.."} Mitsuru said over the comms.

 

"And we'll have to figure out if it has any weaknesses ourselves, right?" Elicia asked as she ejected a large amount of thread from her fingertips.

 

{"Unfortunately."} Mitsuru replied. {"As I told you, my Persona is actually better suited for battle than support."}

 

"I know, I'm just complaining for the sake of it." Elicia said with a smile.

 

In the next instant, Elicia's threads wrapped around the spokes of the rim at the center of the Barbaric Beast Wheel. Then, she pulled them taught, trying to stop the Shadow from moving.

 

Unfortunately, the Barbaric Beast Wheel was stronger than Elicia expected. So, instead of stopping its movements, she was dragged along behind it as it rolled around the arena, picking up speed and momentum as it went.

 

"Uh oh! Fonzie! Do something!" Elicia said as she slid around on the arena area as if she were jet skiing.

 

"I'm on it." Alfonzo said as he appeared in front of the Shadow.

 

In the next instant, Alfonzo created a long metal spike. Then, he jammed it into the lion head's mouth. As a result, it stabbed into the tire behind it. And after less than a second, because of the spinning wheel, the spike slammed into the floor before flipping the Barbaric Beast Wheel, and causing it to fly through the air.

 

"Now!" Elicia shouted excitedly as she lengthened her threads.

 

Then, with all her strength, Elicia began to spin in place, whipping the airborne Shadow around, slamming it into the floor and walls with every opportunity. In fact, her thrashing was so violent that after a minute or so, Elicia's threads broke, sending the Shadow flying once again.

 

*Bang!* *Screech!*

 

Eventually, the Barbaric Beast Wheel slammed into the floor and skidded for a while on its side. However, it did not take long for it to start stirring once again, attempting to right itself and continue its rampage.

 

"Alfonzo, the Magic Hands are down." Alzack said.

 

"Alright, light that mother fucker up, then!" Alfonzo shouted from high above the Barbaric Beast Wheel.

 

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

 

In response, Alzack and Bisca, who easily took care of the Magic Hands, which were weak to [Fire Magic], unloaded the rest of their magazines at the Barbaric Beast Wheel. However, the Barbaric Beast Wheel did not seem to be too bothered by the flames from the [Fire Ball shots].

 

{"It's resistant to fire."} Mitsuru said over the comms. ["Switch to another element."}

 

Reacting quickly, Alzack ejected his magazines before switching to [Lightning Bolt Shots] while Bisca loaded a magazine filled with [Icicle Shots]. Then, the couple restarted their barrage once again.

 

At the same time, Alfonzo was floating above the downed Barbaric Beast Wheel and gathering an absurd amount of lightning on each hand. Then, he brought his hands together with his palms pointed down at the Shadow.

 

["Electromagnetism Magic: Final Flash]." Alfonzo chanted as he fired a beam of violent lightning downwards.

 

*Boom~~~~!*

 

In the next instant, Alfonzo's spell slammed into the Barbaric Beast Wheel. At the same time, it created a crater in the floor and sent a cloud of dust and debris into the air. On top of that, Alzack and Bisca continued firing into the dust cloud until it dispersed.

 

A few moments later, the dust settled. And when it did, the Barbaric Beast Wheel was nowhere in sight, more than likely destroyed by the gun fire from Alzack and Bisca, rather than Alfonzo's [Final Flash].

 

Even so, after realizing the enemy had been defeated, the four wizards did not waste any time. Instead, they rushed up the stairs to check the treasure chest room before heading up to the twelfth floor.

 

From there, they rushed through the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth floors at a rate of ten minutes per floor. On top of that, there were no new Shadows to slow them down. And when they reached the seventeenth floor, they realized there would be another Guardian up ahead when they found another long flight of stairs right as they entered the floor.

 

"The Shadows got stronger after the last Guardian again." Bisca said. "Still, they're at the very most a match for a high-level C-Class wizard. So, when Mitsuru and her team start exploring, they shouldn't have any problem handling it."

 

"As long as they stay at that level." Alzack pointed out. "But we have no way of knowing if that's the way things will be."

 

"We can only hope." Elicia said. "But as long as they train hard, there shouldn't be any issues as long as the Shadows don't get super strong."

 

"Lici's right." Alfonzo said. "At least we won't have to worry about Akihiko training hard. And Miss Kirijo seems pretty strict with herself, too. I'm just worried for the new people they recruit. I mean, putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger takes a special kind of... person. Even if they know the gun isn't loaded with bullets."

 

"By the way, Mitsuru, how much time do we have left?" Bisca asked into the comms.

 

{"Eight minutes."} Mitsuru replied.

 

"That should be enough time." Alfonzo said with a smile. "I'll just released Riot and Bedlam. Then, we can go back to the hotel."

 

The other three nodded in agreement. Then, they gathered by the teleporter platform. Meanwhile, Alfonzo flashed up the stairs with his body covered in violet lightning.

 

At the same time, back on the first floor, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Yukari, who were all listening through the communications devices wore confused expressions.

 

"What does he mean by 'release Riot and Bedlam'?" Yukari, the newest member of the team, asked while staring at Mitsuru and Akihiko with a confused expression on her face.

 

"No clue." Akihiko replied while also looking at Mitsuru with a curious gaze.

 

"This is the first time I've ever heard of something like that, too." Mitsuru said while shaking her head.

 

A moment later, Alfonzo's voice sounded through the comms.

 

{"[Run Wild with Destruction on your fingertips. Usher in Pandemonium with Creation in Your Hands. Riot, Bedlam.]"}

 

With that, Mitsuru's expression fell. She could feel Alfonzo's spike in power through Penthesilea, and if she had not been straddling her motorcycle, she would have fallen to her knees from the shock and pressure.

 

"Mitsuru, are you okay?" Akihiko asked as he rushed over to Mitsuru's side.

 

Yukari was also surprised to see Mitsuru in that state. However, she had no idea how to react. But she figured it had something to do with the chant they heard over the comms.

 

In the next instant, the entire tower shook for the third time in a few days, surprising the three completely.

 

"Kya~~~~!" Yukari screamed in surprise.

 

At the same time, Akihiko moved to protect Mitsuru, who was still incapable of moving. However, the shaking did not last very long. So, they breathed a sigh of relief. Shortly after that, Mitsuru's expression started returning to normal, as Alfonzo had resealed Riot and Bedlam again.

 

Mitsuru, is everything okay?" Akihiko asked in a concerned tone.

 

"Yes, I'm fine Akihiko." Mitsuru replied while taking deep breaths. "I'm fine now."

 

"What exactly just happened?" Yukari asked. "And what made the tower shake like that?"

 

"It was Mr. Marcus." MItsuru said. "His attack is what caused the tower to shake like that. He annihilated the Guardian on the seventeenth floor with one attack."

 

Hearing that, Akihiko and Yukari opened their eyes wide in surprise. To think that only one attack could make a tower like this shake so hard.

 

"But why did you go pale like that?" Akihiko asked.

 

"It was because of that chant before the shaking." Mitsuru replied. "After Mr. Marcus finished, his magic power spiked by so much that I could not handle it."

 

"Just how strong is he?" Yukari asked in an amazed tone. "And what could make someone's magic power spike by that much at once?"

 

"And can they all do that?" Akihiko added a question of his own.

 

While Yukari was asking her questions, the teleporter platform flashed before the four Fairy Tail wizards appeared on the first floor of Tartarus.

 

"That's a Fairy Tail Secret." Elicia said, her voice startling the three teenagers. "So, we can't tell you that."

 

"Anyway, we shouldn't have more than a few minutes left before the Dark Hour ends." Alzack said. "So, we should hurry and get out of here."

 

With that, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Yukari nodded their heads. Then, the group of seven left Tartarus for the night and headed back to their own resting places.
