Finally it was time for the mayor, Kazuki Sakahagi, to speak up. Not even an thirty minutes left to the celebrations, but seeing him go appeared to be lighting up a spark in the citizens. It wasn't too hard to see why; his enthusiastic grin and way of walking could easily melt anyone's worry away.

He walked to the center stage as cheering broke out, two men in black and Junko Tanako behind him.

Yosuke cries out in pain as the wood is lodged into his chest, stomach, arms... and then he's sent hurtling forward towards Naoto's Persona, his expression full of pure panic. Whatever small part of his mind that isn't screaming at how much pain he's in is so extremely thankful that instead of hitting him, Yamato-Takeru caught him, keeping him from landing on those wooden shards.

He's leaning heavily into the Persona pressing his hand against the wooden shard that narrowly missed his heart, gasping and choking in pain as blood seeps through his shirt and onto his hand. He can barely move, and his vision is going fuzzy, but he's holding out his hand and calling forth his other Persona, Apollo, as best he can.

Hearing his master's desperation, Apollo unleashes his mutation skill on the one who inflicted the damage, Hitsuji, an Almighty attack that removes fire resistance.

[camoflage]

He held his hands up to brace against the Deathbound, teleporting around to avoid most of the slashes. It did a good job of slicing up his coat much, but that seemed to be about as much as it affected him.

"Ah ah ah--!"

With Apollo moving to attack, Spades teleported once more, appearing in front of Hitsuji. He stopped for a moment, before straightening up and reaching out his hand, fingers outstretched. Within seconds of the attack unfolding, the purple particles of the Almighty magic started to gather and center around Spades' outstretched hand instead of on Hitsuji. The particles fizzled around until the entire attack had run its course, swirling around and-- it appeared to swirl into his hand, soon disappearing without any traces that it had occurred.

The entire attack had been absorbed and nullified.

He clenched his fist and withdrew it, extending his pointing finger and waving it back and forth as if he were chiding a child.

"That's not very fair, is it?"

Hitsuji pulls a chunk out of the ground with her telekinesis to block against the raging attack, wincing as pieces of shrapnel blow off of the chunk to nick at her exposed skin, and chucks the remains of the concrete at Yamato-Takeru when the attack had concluded.

Her eyes widen slightly as Yosuke directs the almighty attack straight towards her, but Spades barely gives her any time to worry as he interferes. She clutches a little at the back of his jacket as he absorbs the attack, a small smile tugging at her lips. What a gentleman, Spades. Her hero~

"Very rude, I'd say."

[detects]

Naoto grimaced. Unfair? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Although Spades seemed to absorb Yosuke's attack she noted that neither of them were able to do anything against hers besides dodge it. Perhaps Physical attacks were the way to go? They had to have an actual weakness. Everyone did.

During the time it took them to react to their attacks, Naoto hurried over to where Yosuke and her Persona were. She made sure to grab her gun again too. She left a trail of blood in her wake but paid little attention. The concret blocks tossed at her Persona were cut in half with a swift strike of the sword Yamato-Tekeru clutched in its other hand.

"Please hang in there, Yosuke-senpai." His injuries were grave. At this point their best chance was to escape. There was no way they could continue like this...

Yamato-Tekeru attacks again with Tempest Slash, aimed at Spades, while Naoto herself fires on Hitsuji. Her Persona, with Yosuke still in tow,begins to fall back. But Naoto stands her ground.

[disconinjafrog]

"Ugh... I... I can't move my arm..." His right arm was hanging limp by his side as he leaned into the Persona. It hurt too bad to stand on one of his legs, and he was trying all he could, as he groaned and kept his left hand pressed near his heart, not to pass out and collapse.

"Naoto, you're hurt..." Yosuke had heard the gunshots from Spades, and he had seen the blood dripping from her arm. He closes his eyes as he tries to summon Susano-o, though he's fading fast, the pain becoming far too excruciating. "Media... media..."

He stumbles and chokes back a shout as Yamato-Takeru pulls him back, just wanting to get out of here, wanting the pain to go away...

[camoflage]

Spades was certainly everyone's hero today!

He raised his arms again, this time in defense; he takes the Tempest Slash head on, but it doesn't look like it's doing much to slow him down; a few more shreds to his jacket sleeves, but he didn't seem to be much of a fashionista. The next minute, he was running forward, swinging his left fist forward to deliver a punch right to Naoto's solar plexus.

"Y'sure you don't wanna just run now?"

[hinoto_npcs]

One bullet narrowly scrapes across her arm before she dodges out of the way of the second (note to self: train more with guns, too many narrow calls so far), reaching one hand out to the detectives gun to jam it from within with her powers. For all the damage a gun could do, they were surprisingly easily to ruin with just the slightest bit of dirt.

Hopefully Naoto would heed the suggestion now that one of her lines of defense was ruined.
