To think a Crossover story could have so much terror ...
- The whole concept of the story is inherently frightening; Ikutsuki was an ineffectual Smug Snake, but at least in canon, he was patient enough to wait for all twelve Shadows to be destroyed …
- It Gets Worse; the dragons find themselves in a city where there aren't men and women specifically trained to kill them, and the buildings are made out of metal instead of stone. It might not have been as good to work with, but at least brick was relatively fireproof! Chapter one in particular notes that the dragons flying by cause enough air pressure to shatter the windows in the building, and the one that ends up chasing down Shinjiro and Ken managed to knock over a building when it landed.
- Even more horrific; it's still the Dark Hour. In other words? Everyone is asleep in coffins, completely defenseless from the dragons, who seem completely capable of breaking them open to get at the humans inside.
- The dragon who tried to chase down Shinjiro, Koromaru and Ken after eating Takaya. It tried roasting them while they ran away from it, knocked over a fire escape to separate Ken and Koro from Shinjiro after Ken had twisted his ankle, nearly succeeded in eating Ken before getting the fire escape blasted into its face just long enough for Shinjiro – now carrying Ken – and Koromaru to make a mad dash to the shrine. Once Ken and Koro were inside the shrine, Shinjiro decides to fight it off, knowing very well it will more than likely end up eating him. If Theodore hadn't arrived, it would have.
- There's implications that Ken – while he couldn't see the whole fight – could hear it going on. As a later chapter reveals, he and Shinjiro are half brothers. Ken nearly heard his older brother get eaten in an attempt to save his life.
- Ken seems to get put in a LOT of peril the first few chapters; upon his arrival in Elibe, he winds up on the Dread Isle. In an area crawling with Morphs. That nearly find him. Heaven help the world if they had; who knows what sort of damage Nergal could do with the quintessence of a Persona-user …
- Ikutsuki's death in chapter five isn't exactly pleasant either. While it isn't shown in explicit detail, he was thrown to a pair of dragons. Who decided to share him. For as much shit as he caused, that was still one hell of a bad way to go.
- A different type of Nightmare Fuel; Yukari has no clue if her friends are alive or dead. All she knows is that one dragon nearly ate one of the senpai, and that the rest of S.E.E.S was "disposed of". Coupled with her armed with a staff against things with armor that's more than likely tough enough to survive being shot with her arrows, it's no wonder the girl is ready to give up at first.
- Hell, her scene starts with her hiding from the dragons while trying to figure out how to get to safety without being spotted and eaten. She's unarmed, wearing nothing more than pajamas, and there's dragons everywhere. For her, it might as well be a case of The End of the World as We Know It.
