[Minato, you're not the only headphone wearing schoolboy in town! He'd been minding his own business when he saw a group of shadows - well, he's pretty sure they're shadows - going up the stairs. Yosuke's trailed them to this point, and is slightly surprised to see them converging on one young man]

[He is somewhat less surprised when the object in the boy's hand looks just like one he saw Minako use. So, another persona user? Fine by him, he's more than willing to lend a hand! On go the headphones, out come the daggers, and up goes Yosuke into the air with his trademark twirling jump]

Go! Susano-o!

[Cu Chulainn was fighting the Shadows, between casting Mazionga and striking with his lance at Minato's silent orders.

Hearing someone's shout, he glanced over and saw an unfamiliar Persona joining the battle. Behind it was a person, a fellow headphones wearing teenager. Whatever kinship he may feel about being headphones buddies, it's shoved to the side in favour of surviving this.]

Thanks!

[princeofjunes]

Thank me when it's over!

[Shadows? It's officially on - Yosuke's been itching for a chance to really cut loose since he got to the tower, and even if you guys are creepy, grotesque and wrong looking, he's going to take the opportunity however he can get it. Susano-o proceeds to start letting loose the unbridled fury of a thousand Magarudynes (or maybe just one or two), and a few lucky shots on both their parts later, it seems all of the shadows are down. Yosuke shoots a grin to his new companion in arms]

Now's our chance! You ready?

[evokemydread]

Let's go!

[ALL-OUT ATTACK With a nod, he draws out his sword and runs toward the Shadows. Minato trust that his new companion would come along.]

[Rushing up the stairs came a slightly older boy with an odd belt on - he paused at the top of the stairs, finding himself on the other side of a monster - and was that a kid with a gun at his head and flashy lights and-- Y'know what, forget it. No sense trying to make sense of it. Kid is doing something and the monster's after him.

Eiji whips out three red coins, slots them into the belt, and swipes the scanner, activating a transformation...]

Henshin!

[evokemydread]

[Well, instead of suicide, Minato's surrounded in a blue aura and a black flaming wheel appears. A moment later, the said flaming wheel--with some kind of person on it--spins and cast an ice spell on the group of monsters.

Yes, a flaming wheel just cast an ice spell.

Minato glance over when he heard someone's shout. Wait, what--Never mind, battle first, questions later.]

[comboherooo]

[It's not the strangest thing Eiji's seen, or experienced, so he doesn't seem too fazed by the display. Once the transformation's complete, Eiji calls forth a small buckler onto his left forearm, which is thrusted forward to launch fireballs at the monsters.]

Haaaaaaaaahh!

[evokemydread]

[Between the ice spells and those fireballs, a fair number of the monsters fell down. The defeated Shadows dissipated into fine, disappearing mist.

Keeping Throne out, Minato hold his sword and stab, hard, at the nearest monster.]

[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 in hand and ready to go.]

Whoa, what are those?

[evokemydread]

[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.

[windykind]

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

[evokemydread]

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.
