"Dangerous? They're just bugs!"

Jou walked over to the pair, having found nothing to use as a weapon.

"Well, they're a bit big to whack with a shoe, but if there was a metal pipe or something, I doubt they'd be too dangerous. I mean, they're pretty big, but I'm pretty sure I'm asleep right now, so it's no big deal. So, who's the lady with the scythe?"

"Trust me, we are not dreaming and her name is Si. Even though she says she's on our side I still don't trust her..."

Says Minato as he speaks to Jou, who just came up to him.

"What the hell are you doing?" "I'm playing a role, sir, what are you doing?"

"I'm Si."

Si introduced herself again.

"You three, were awaken by that tone too, I take it? That was the Mantises, they lure their prey in that way."

"Uh... huh. So, you took them all pretty easily, they really that dangerous? I mean, I'm unarmed right now, so maybe, but I figure with a weapon, they don't seem so tough. I guess you're the voice of experience for... whatever this is."

Jou managed to put on a more easygoing expression than earlier, as he was around other people. He couldn't let anyone see him scowl like he had been, Midori especially.

"If you enjoy having a soul, yes, they're very dangerous. Bone Mantises, just like every other creature from The Other World, do not attack your body, they attack your mind through the body. Besides, did you see those huge sickle hands? Almost as big as my scythe!"

"Attacking our minds? Hm, I think I might have a rough idea of what this is, I've played a lot of video games and seen anime that has stuff like this. Persona 3, stuff like that. So, that said, what sort of powers are we gonna need to handle these creatures?"

"You like Persona 3 also, eh? And here I thought you were just another bookworm... Anyway, like he said, how will we fight these things, and what did you mean by, otherworld?"

"What the hell are you doing?" "I'm playing a role, sir, what are you doing?"

"My my my my my my. How presumptuous! Assuming, that I can give you powers, that there are powers to give you, and that you are worthy of them! Huh! Unfortunately! I cannot truly rebuke your presumptuousness, as you're right on all accounts this time around. Still, there is another around here we must gather first, I can sense it. Unfortunately, I know not where."

"Well, forgive my repeated presumption, but, having seen stuff like this before, I have a pretty good idea who the fourth person is."

Having noticed that aside from himself, both of the people present were classmates he was more aware of than the other faceless fools, he was expecting Kuriko to show up at any moment. Somehow, Jou had wound up in the exact same sort of media he spent most of his free time consuming. Apparently, his classmates thought he had a need to study. Maybe for finals.

"Well then, oh all-knowing Oracle. Lead the way."

Si gave a mock bow.

"Nice sarcasm there, Si... Anyway, Jou, are you thinking that it may be Kuroki or Tara, also?"

"What the hell are you doing?" "I'm playing a role, sir, what are you doing?"

"Ha ha. No need to be sarcastic, ma'am. I don't know where that guy lives. But, I suppose we should try to find him. I mean, if there's more of those bug things, he might be in trouble. I'm not about to allow my rival to get punked by Metropolis Zone rejects."

"I think the Mantises are the least of our concerns, it grows later, and the barrier between our world and the Other World grows weaker, allowing stronger creatures to leak out, and allowing stronger fears to manifest as realities. We need to find your friend."

"Alright, I know we have a situation on our hands, but you keeping mentioning 'our would' and the 'other world', what exactly do you mean by that?"

"What the hell are you doing?" "I'm playing a role, sir, what are you doing?"

"Fears manifesting as realities? Hm, so, what, is this other world, like, to borrow a term from Rod Serling, a realm of mind?"

"Our World is just that, the world you, I, and all other humans live our physical lives in. But there is another world, at least one other world, I should say, where our inner thoughts spill over and manifest themselves as creatures, people, and events. Sometimes, for reasons even I do not fully understand, the two worlds will intersect and leak over into each other. Someone's darkest fear can easily become a reality at times like these. Essentially, a timeframe where those monsters under your bed are very, very real."

"I see... so basically, if we do not stop the worlds from colliding with one another, we could all possibly die?"

"Die? My good man, think about this for a moment. If what people believe becomes real, and someone is say, a devout Christian. Well guess what, we've got ourselves a Satan walking around somewhere, possibly more than one. Dying will be th' least of your concerns with some of these creatures. That's my theory anyway, I have no way of knowing for shure."

"So, extrapolating from that, if this realm is such that thought becomes real, then are we not capable of using that same property to defend ourselves and those around us?"

"Ah, you'd think. But controlling your subconscious isn't as easy as you think it is. Which is why, when we find your friend, I have something to give the lot of you."

"Alright, while we are looking for Jou's friend, mind if I ask how long you have been fighting these... manifestations? And have you been fighting them alone?"

"396 years. Fighting them alone, well, I do now. I didn't always, but that's just a sob story. Nothing interesting or helpful."

"Hey, he's my rival. That's it. Besides, I wouldn't want anyone to get killed out here."

Well, aside from all the people I do want dead, but who's counting?

"Anyway, I get the idea, this isn't the realm of conscious thought, but of unconscious thought. That does make things a bit trickier."

"Rival...friend, they become the same thing eventually, pal. I've had almost four centuries to learn that lesson. Anyway. Yes, it is quite tricky."

"I still cant believe you have been fighting for almost 400 years, seems way too unlikely, you would be an old hag, or dead... anyway, I always thought you, him, and little miss likes to bugs people a lot were friends? Or was I mistaken?"

Says Minato, as he diverts his attention to Jou.
