Summary: A quiet stroll that ended up rudely interrupted by unexpected guests.

[A floor of glass walls. It's a rather relaxing floor, in its own way compared to others. Whenever Minato doesn't want to go to the higher floors, he would found himself here, watching the clouds through the walls.

His headphones was around his neck, playing music out of it audibly enough to him and anyone close enough to him.

Burn my dread
Burn my dread~

Then, he pause when he heard something. Minato listened to his MP3 enough time to know whether a sound was a part of the tune or not. This sound...was very familiar.

I'll shrug the pain and run till I see the sunlight again
Oh, I will run burning all regret and dread--

Click. Turning off his MP3, his hand reach for the evoker as he glanced around.

Skree.

He looked over at where the sound came from, already drawing out his evoker. His sword was still with him, but his instinct call upon his evoker, instead.

Was that...a Shadow? Frowning, he mentally shifted through his Personas, settling on one as he saw something approaching.

It's a Shadow...but it looked different from the ones Minato saw before. Without Fuuka, he won't know its characteristics, so he have to be careful with his tactics.]

Persona.

[Pointing the 'gun' at his head, he fired with a 'bang'.]

[John had happened to be in the area too, reading a very heavy and old-looking book entitled 'Colonel Sassacre's Daunting Text of Magical Frivolity and Practical Japery'. True to the name, it did look very daunting, but John seemed pleased with it -- at least until a bunch of monsters appeared in thin air a few feet away! Fortunately, John missed the bit about Minato pointing a gun to his head, and looked up in time to see a blue-haired teenager and some dude with a lance.. Even if he looked like he knew what he was doing, John set the book aside and leaped an unnatural distance to Minato's side -- backed up by wind powers, of course. A moment later he had a big old hammer (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/01739_2.gif) in hand and ready to go.]

Whoa, what are those?

[The said dude with a lance was currently thrusting at the monsters with his lance. While his Persona hold back the Shadows to give him space, Minato held his sword ready in his other hand.

He looked at his new companion, noting the hammer. The boy most likely know how to use it, but Minato's unsure if it's heavy like the bludgeons Shinjiro would use or not.]

They're Shadows. But these look different from the ones I know.

Creepy... [He looked at the 'Shadows' for a moment, then back to Minato.] There are a lot of them. Need help?

Yes. [He's not reckless enough, yet, to take every one of them alone without help. Minato's been fighting them off, but finishing them off was another matter.] Will be glad to have you help out.
