In which we SET ME FROM THAT BLOODY DESTINY!

Let's try that again. Okay, I'm not going to tell you guys what all happened at the 5 floors below this time. I'll just update you guys on the results here.

Levels gained: Maki Level 14, Nanjo Level 12, Mark Level 13

Ranks up: Nat Rank 7 with Maguru, Maki Rank 7 with Liftoma, Nanjo Rank 6, Mark Rank 6

Cards gained: Jack Frost, Fuji Musume

Up on the fifth floor, here we are! Nat gains a level after I defeat and contact away some Frosts. (Jack and Pyro) During a battle with the Secret Force, Mark Persona gained a rank, learning Magry, meaning the only person without a party wide move is Nanjo. -sighs- Poor rich kid with his significantly lagging Persona. Mark himself also gained a level up. The full moon brings us a Yukuza contacting us. We manage to make him happy with Nat's lovely singing voice. Anyone wanna guess what he was singing? We decide to get a card from a Hoodlum when we were at it but we only made him happy, getting Nanjo weak in the process. Ah well, one Maguru later and they were done with. And the next battle has Nanjo, finally, gaining a level up. A tussle with an agent and some secret police give LOTS of EXP to Nat and Maki, leveling them up. Nat manages to use all of his Persuading, Singing, Inviting and Taunting to silmulatinously anger and please a Nu causing him to Rage Quit. Okay then.

We step down into the fourth floor again and find rooms filled with a Save Tree and a Velvet Room. YAY! Halfway there! First we go to the Velvet Room for alternate Personas for Mark and Nanjo. We find Gozu-Tennoh for Mark that is a Best affinity and at level 16 which is not too far off from his current level and while a "Best" persona can be found in Lilim, it's at level 21. Let's go for Urvashi at level 14 for him. Though neither of them can take them on yet...Ah well. At least Argetlam can be taken on by Nat now. A battle takes us on the way to the save point but Nanjo's Persona gained a rank and learned Makakaja. Save Tree, you have no idea how happy I am to see you! We also gain a hoodlum's card before heading out. And in the next floor down, we only quickly fight some Mon Shuvuu's and an Angel before heading off. Nyah-nyah-na-na-nyah! I gained levels so you can't touch me~! A group of Secret Police go down easily as well! Happy phoenixdaughter is happy.

Though contacting can still be...fun. I'm sorry Nightmare! I already gave away all my Life Stones to other demons! You don't get any. Though I still got the card.

Back on the first floor...with a new set of doors. Save Tree, store, money-taketh-awayer Trish, I smell a boss fight ahead! A fight with the Agents actually got Maki's persona to it's max rank, learning Gentle Wave in the process, along with a level up! I should set you to using Bufu only Maki. You don't need to steal anymore levels anymore! I would change to the Jack Frost but...Boss Fight ahead. We'll go with the maxed out one, thank you. Anyway, climb up to the boss floor! And wow, an Angel spell card! All from Maki cringing from this angelic visitor!

Maki's Persona gains two ranks in our next battle, with Frosty learning Hapirena. Whatever that is. And Mark gaining a level up. And there we are. Right outside the boss-battle! Ah well. It's two demons I have cards from. And now it's time for Moh Shuvuu to join our cards! Into the boss room!

Inside the President's Office, we find the beefy man, named Takeda and Kandori inside, oddly mentioning something of another "brat" inside. Hmm. Nanjo has some remarks about doing these things like warping reality under the head's nose with Kandori repliying back about an his butler should be taking better care of him. Berserk Button pressed. Nanjo is ready for battle. Maki seems to act oddly around Kandori. Hmm. And cue the...OHMYGODTHISMUSICISAWESOME! -ahem- The boss is Takeda and some agents surrounding him with...Nanjo actually using Hama against Kandori. But missing. -sigh- It seems like Kandori is a Persona-user as well and uses Maragi against us with...is that him?! GET RID OF HIM! Kandori slips away, with us facing Takeda. Let the boss fight begin! My stradagy is to use the party-wide attacks of Nat's Persona's Magaru and Mark's Persona's Magry. Nanjo uses Hama and Maki takes on Takeda's weakness to ice on with Bufu. During it, Nat's Persona maxed out in the middle of the battle, though he also died in it as well. That's what Revival Beads are for! Though both him and Nanjo died quite a bit. But as soon as we managed to take out the Agents, the battle got a lot more easier. With everyone alive and well, it didn't take too long before we took the guy down, everyone gaining levels in the process. Nat, Maki and Mark up to 17 and Nanjo to 15. A lagger, that rich boy is. Though I'd blame the Persona more than anything else.

Hey...wait...with Takeda not around...does this mean we killed lots of people on the way of storming the tower? Holy- (Mama, just killed a man. Head a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.) Anyway, the team is wondering where Kandori is at and once again I must search for an exit, after getting a weapon hidden that is actually good for Nanjo. Maybe that'll help with his strength issue. Within the desk, there is a button that opens a wall for a passage. Which leads to an elevator. That leads us down to the "Underground Lab." Well lab! Now it's your turn to be stormed!

Two agents greet us and man is it good to see Nanjo with a proper weapon! Which appears to be a broadsword in contrast to Nat's katana. Nat's other Persona, Airgetlam, gained a rank up, learning Alsanga. Oh and Hapinea makes foes happy. Not going to use it much. Nat's Persona also ranked up to learned Paralama which paralyzes an enemy. Still going to mostly use Magma. I'm at a save tree and could cut it off now, but I don't feel like it. In order to make up for the game over last time, I'm going to head onwards into this lab and advance more of the plot! Unless I die again...

Anyway, next fight gives us a contact list of demons that we have no way of getting cards from. That means we just go in willy-nilly! Nat and Maki both manage to get demons to run away by getting them mad and happy but Nanjo's snarky ways don't go over well with a Rusalka. Ah well, Maki's Persona ranked up, learning Tango Of Dispelling. We run into some scientists who don't seem to upset about the changing of reality thing and they, once again, mention another student in here. We run into a group of Mon Shuvuu's and Secret Police and not wanting to deal with the potental death bringers the Shuvuu's are, I contacted them away, with them giving us money in the process. Nat's Persona also gains a rank, learning Dormina. We make it through a section that is blacked out surpisingly easily and somehow manage to make another demon flee in a happy anger with Mark's dance, bragging and staring. Some scientists mention a Dr. Nicholai that is working to stop Kandori but that he isn't around anywhere. Hmm. Also Maki mentions that this place is fimilar to her. Hmm.

And so we enter the Deva System Chamber where we find Kandori and Dr. Nicholai. Nicholai is pleading with Kandori not to do anything with the system anymore but Kandori will have none of it, saying that the rest of the world must atone. Nicholai says that he didn't have to throw that young man into the dimensional rift but Kandori says that no one shall stand in his way. How very villainous. We rush in, but Kandori just enters into the Deva System with Nicholai. But...Kandori is disappearing in the System with Nicholai explaining that he adjusted the system to break them apart to their atoms, thus overloading it and releasing the town. That...sounds good to me! But Mark says that we should save Nicholai but Nanjo states that we shouldn't as this is Nicholai's way of atoning for making the system. For once I agree with him. This is a pretty good way to go, stopping Kandori's scheme's and making sure no more harm happens. Maki points out two buttons, blue increasing the power and red being the stop. Naturally Nanjo questions how she knows this but....no time! -sighs- I say this is a logical reason for the story to end but...it can't end here can it. And I feel as if I'll regret pushing the blue button so red for stop we go. Value of life is the question here and I do value life. However, the red button doesn't seem to do anything! Kandori and Nicholai are saved...by a girl in black, who claims Kandori as her father. Kandori calls her to take him too her world and so...

One traveling cutscene and the party wakes up. In what appears to be the old school gym. It seems like we traveled in time back six months...but Maki mentions something about the vanished Yosuke. Who, as a harried girl rushes into say, is hurt by the girl in black. Maki runs off to check on him and so we explore this odd gym. In fact, one boy in the background actually saw us appear. Huh? He dismisses it as a dream though. Step out of the gym and...hey the hole's gone! Anyway, let's head to the nurse's office, where there is healing and a save tree for us. And...an oddly depressed Ms. Saeko. Huh?! Anyway, we'll save and cut it off here. Next time! We shall find out something about this school of crazy! Tips and advice always appreciated and we shall see ya later!

"Put a gun against my head, pulled the trigger and gained a Persona."

Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, continuing to love this. The plot, it is thickening!
