Interior of the soul of Dalia.
Team of Valeria, Fiona and Nu'ma.
"Captain Kid? Why I have to shout Captain Kid and then attack? What kind of bullshit is that!" Nu'ma was completely furious both for having to disguise herself as a rare skeleton and for now having to scream strange phrases.
"It's part of the character! Persona is the only videogame of the hundreds that Hannah has taught me that caught my attention, so if we're going to do this we'll do it right! Your Persona is the infamous Captain Kid... or Kidd... I dont know how long the name was... it doesnt matter!
The key is that he is a pirate, and your element is electricity and physical attacks" Fiona said proud to remember it, while arranging the cleavage of the cat costume.
"Look, Fiona... I'm going to listen to you just because I dont have to listen to you anymore... do you agree, Valeria?" Nu'ma kept looking forward, waiting for the vampire's response.
"Nu'ma, I've been disguising myself for the series too long, a disguise or a disguise less does not affect me in particular..." The vampire did not sound very excited, because after so many years disguising herself as Aleria, disguising herself as Joker was also an empty feeling
"If even Valeria isnt convinced by the idea, and disguising herself is her job ..." Nu'ma did not have time to finish the sentence, because Fiona (completely furious) punched the nearest wall.
"Holy God, all the Iloa are so dry! You have no blood in your veins! Dalia has put together a whole plan around person 5, so I swear to God that you are going to follow him whether you like it or not!" The protoslime took out her revolver, shooting at the ground in front of Valeria and Nu'ma.
Vampire and Iloa looked at each other, sighing and continuing to walk."So I like it! Inside my niece's soul we will do what you like!" Fiona ran behind them, happy to continue with the cosplay.
From a distance, a dark red-eyed beast watched the trio.
The beast licked its fangs as it followed the girls ... its dark body melting into the shadows of the city.
The trio continued walking through what looked like the main streets of the city, looking for any clue about Hades possible... but nobody seemed to pay any attention to them.
At one point, Fiona tried to get in the middle of the traffic and all she managed to do was watch the cars avoid her but nobody said a word about her.Not even police cars!
Valeria and Nu'ma watched as Fiona tried to draw the attention of the drivers from nearby stairs, not noticing how the dark beast lurked from above.
"It's as if we were specters! They avoid us, they do not answer us... finding information about Hades or how to continue descending is virtually impossible in this way... I'm not saying we should give up, but we're not getting anywhere either!"
Valeria fixed her sight on the nearby buildings, and no matter how much the vampire struggled, she was unable to make sense of the city.
"We have crossed four town halls, 2 level crossings and 8 subway entrances, squares connected with other squares, dead ends or roundabouts with only two directions... The soul of Dalia looks like a city, but it would be impossible to live here... until we reach the point where most of the windows seem to be painted! Besides... we havent seen anyone enter any building that isnt something big like libraries or town halls... I'm beginning to wonder what is the meaning of all this"
"Maybe we should have come with Fee? She's a twilight fairy, and she sure understands the way Dalia's soul has taken... whatever it is, let's look at the good side! There are no enemies like Fiona said!" Nu'ma looked towards Valeria looking for complicity, but the vampire was still looking for meaning to the city that stood in front of her.
The Iloa doubted whether to continue talking, but between talking to a wall and doing the imbecile in the middle of traffic like Fiona... the answer was obvious.
Valeria sighed heavily, scaring Nu'ma enough for the Iloa to turn to her. "My knowledge about Person is quite limited, and my phone doesnt work here... but I would swear that the "palaces" are representations of how..."
"Wait wait, first ... we're talking about the game again, right?" The vampire nodded as she got up from the stairs, pointing with her finger towards the end of the street and mentally making numbers. "Okay, you can go on, I just wanted to make sure we didnt start talking about another totally different topic... I already have a hard time understanding all that about People as to change geek-games"
Valeria rolled her eyes, refusing to comment. "I was saying that the" palaces "are the representation of how everyone sees their surroundings... and they revolve around a "treasure", an object around something they consider valuable.
If we take into account all these factors... and seeing that the names of the buildings are based on feelings or feelings that Dalia must feel... Hades surely be in the depths in the deepest of the soul, next to the "treasure"... question is how do we get to it?"
"I dont understand shit about this "palaces"or "treasures", but what I do understand is that Hades is close to the center of Dalia's heart! Like her aunt, I'm going to save her! And now... FIONA! stop acting like an idiot and go! We have many meters to review, some should take us deeper!"
Fiona dodged a last car before nodding and walking back to-
CRASH! A black feline beast like the night with completely red eyes fell on Fiona, grabbing her by the back of her vest and shaking her in the air.
Fiona screamed with fear, while Valeria launched herself at the black creature and tried to cut it in two. "Drop Fio-"
"Release it as you wish" The beast said without opening its mouth, projecting its voice directly into the minds of the three. The beast threw Fiona on Valeria, crashing both in the air. "Oh sorry, wasnt this what you meant?" The beast laughed before jumping forward, moving at great speed and hitting a blow on vampire and protoslime.
Nu'ma leap forward trying to hit the beast with his guitar, but the beast was much more agile again catching the guitar with its jaws. "Really? Do you think you can save Lady Dalia like this? Hades will be a coward, but he has been invited into this soul for a long time, and his forces, though inferior to those possessed during the reign of the Master, are still immense...
You face an Alitian God, so I must demand much more effort" The beast released the guitar, pushed Nu'ma back with his paw.
"Who do you think you are to talk to us like that?! I will not let a black cat call me weak!" Fiona shouted as she stood up (pushing Valeria aside with one hand), pointing her revolver at the beast.
"Girl, you should relax and not resort so quickly to violence against your allies... my name is Fenrir, I am what Dalia considers the aspect of her bravery... and before you say anything of you, we know that Fenrir It's not a feline, but Dalia never remembers it and gives me the shape of a cat because she likes it very much"
Team of Samantha and Sildud.
Orc and High-orc ran through the streets of Bright City pursued by creatures of black liquid, defending themselves as they could. "I should have brought my rifle! Fighting with an ax against liquid creatures isnt the smart thing!" Sildud shouted as he and Samantha entered an alley, seeking to hide from the beasts.
"We didnt know there would be enemies here, thats why we only come with my arcanite reaper! So stop complaining, give me back the ax and keep running! I've fought all my life with these weapons and I'm not going to give up like that! As strong, invulnerable or numerous as they are... I WILL NEVER SURRENDER! FOR THE HORDE- "Samantha did not finish her sentence, because Sildud grabbed the high-orc's mouth and threw it into a gap between alleys.
"Girl, you will be an orc and everything you want, but deep down you are human, as fiery and unconscious as all other humans... shut up, dont say anything!" Sildud hid the ax behind Sam, and after that he grabbed a nearby garbage container to cover the hole where they were hiding.
The liquid creatures continued running and attacking all their way, passing by the alley. Sildud slowly lowered himself, waiting a few seconds before opening the hiding place and leaving it.
"Their brain is as liquid as the rest of them... for now we should look for the rest and explain to them about these enemies that have emerged from the buildings... I already thought it would not be easy ... Are you going to get up at some point, Sam?" The orc offered Sam his hand.
Samantha cleaned the dust, getting up without taking the orc's hand. "I'll be human, but I'm an extra-human! An extra-human high-orc! That you are pure orcs doesnt mean anything! I have lived all my life worshiping the horde, and if you refuse to fight-"
"Child, I've told you a hundred times, I still dont understand what the horde is... but an orc fights every battle and retires when you cant win them to live another day.
We havent managed to do anything to these enemies with your ax, so I'm not going to let you lose a battle without a reason... You are a great leader and a good tactic, but when you have to fight directly in the front you have too much Gontra..."
"I'm not a suicide without honor! But if I have to fight, I will fight for my cause until the end! Thats how the horde live! I havent yet understood your tribe habits... but I'm an high-orc! Why we were not going to ... I understand that we might not have won, but still...
...
Okay... who I want to cheat? You may really be right... but I hate to flee from a fight like a coward... I prefer to avoid fighting than to flee from a fight..."
Sildud grabbed the ax, placing it in the hands of the high-orc. "Precisely this is why you are my first general, Sam. But even if your decisions are correct, you must understand that sometimes fleeing is the best option even if it makes you look like a coward... you dont want to become a suicide for a ruins like Xilven, do you?" Sam refused, grabbing the ax with both hands and standing firm in front of Sildud.
"So I like it, now we are going to look for everyone and let them know that they already know we are here... we have to approach the situation from a different point of view"
