Characters: Sertoria, her Shadow, and your brave soul.
Setting: September 11th, floor 27.
Format: Bracket spam.
Summary: Sertoria denied her shadow as a part of her and the shadow now can run rampant as a boss. Things will not go well.
Warnings: Repressed android feels and a world of pain? Check. ... In fact, let's say a lot of issues just to be safe.

[ The sort of laugh that escapes is one of pain, victory, and a little madness. Once Sertoria denied her shadow, it decided to go for the kill by binding her self up on a cross before the mutation happened. When that happened, Sertoria's photo album dropped to the floor. Then, when the album dropped, it opened to reveal a page of her and Joshua smiling and looking happily at the camera. Sertoria had given up her fight and looked down at the ground in a broken state. ]

System SPERO shutting down... System SPERO shutting down...

[ The light dies in her eyes and Sertoria's Shadow finally can emerge! At first, the limbs appear to be snapping and her size multiplying that much more. Soon, the doll takes form of a wooden doll, its' limbs hanging by a thread at best. Then, her shadow itself, well - anyone expecting it to be kind?

You thought wrong.

It mutates and morphs into an unrecognizable creature, much like the monster Sertoria views herself as. Its' tendrils dust across the floor waiting to tear these rotten humans limb from limb - show them what it's like to be harmed all because of what humans did to her over her long life span! ]

This place will be your grave. I will make this an everlasting hell! Death, destruction, ruination - let it all reign immortal!

[ She laughs darkly and Tarukaja and Sukukaja are immediately cast thanks to the doll. Start trying to take her down because otherwise, she's going to make this one of the most difficult battles yet. ]

[There's a moment of pause, as it happens. Just long enough for him to groan quietly in the back of his throat. Then he's scrambling about, avoiding tentacles with uncanny grace. He's too busy not dying to bother putting up the drunk act, sorry.

But then the thing actually talks.

Jack can't ignore that.]

Oi, I liked Davy's beastie better than you, lassie. At least that one didn't talk.

[Who hates his life? This pirate hates his life.]

[ Soon enough you won't be alone to hate your life, Captain Jack Sparrow. As there is a certain Doc who comes over here as this whole thing happens. And that's particularly horrible. ]

Great Scott!!

[ He took his riffle, it'll work against that... Thing, whatever it is, right? ~~Irvine Kinneas could take Malboro down with his so why couldn't he.~~ But was that really Sertoria?

Meanwhile the dog Einstein who is also here... Barks at the creature.

It's not very effective. ]

[...Son of a bitch. Well, they tried to make sure this didn't happen. It just didn't go as well as they'd hoped. Yu fixes his glasses without a second thought.]

Persona.

[The Hierophant Arcana falls before him and shatters itself, Kohryu roaring to life once again like a protective shield above those gathered here against the berserk Shadow. See, there's this thing about levels affecting outcomes... and Yu's only two levels from MAX.

The many-colored orbs held within the golden dragon's claws glow brightly as a spell is cast on the party- Matarukaja. They will suddenly find that their attacks are more powerful.

They glow once again to cast Mind Charge on Yu as well.]

[FFFF-This is something straight out of a Lovecraft novel here. This thing, was Sertoria? Or at the very least her hidden feelings. Such a terrible thing to see. But this wasn't right. This was an exaggeration, it has to be one.

He's just flipping out of the way of the tendrils hurling knives at it.]

Let Sertoria go, you creep!

[Obviously this is poetry for insults.]

[Dammit... and he thought they were doing well, too! But now's not the time to complain - that time is later, when he's exhausted and all this crap is over]

[Yu's already sprung into action, and now it's Yosuke's turn to do the same. Sukukaja, huh? Well, two can play at that game!]

Susano-o!

[One persona summon later, and everyone assembled suddenly feels lighter on their feet. The wonders of masukukaja, and there's more where that came from!]

[ Oh, yes, Masukukaja and Matarukaja, right? Well, they'll work for now until the shadow will cast Dekaja to cancel all those nifty effects.

Next, a terrific inferno will emerge next as she'll cast Maragidyne on the entire party, but it's mostly targeting Cross for his insolent comment. ]

Haven't you realized it yet?! I am her! She refused to accept me as a part of herself and is now paying the price!

[ True to her words, she'll sap more energy from Sertoria who's already feeling like dirt over this. The lighter Sertoria will let out a cry of pain as this goes on. though - a sensation that's both unfamiliar and yet an old friend to her from the very beginning of her life. ]

See?! You're all delusional idiots for not accepting me, too!

[Jerk move. He wasn't about to tell her she's wrong, that he knows she is a part of his friend. Yet hearing that scream... He doesn't even do it on purpose when Kohryu transforms back into a card.]

I know who you are... but I cannot condone what you are doing to yourself.

[The same blue light shines about him-]

I am thou... Izanagi!

[Izanagi-no-Okami appears behind him, gauntlet-protected hands pressed side-by side as his naginata spins in a circle about him, electricity building before being cast as a Mind Charged Ziodyne.]
