Oops, I haven't updated this in a long time. Hopefully, you'll enjoy this long awaited chapter. (Just a little bit of a heads up, since I was quite clumsy, I skipped over a section.)

Makoto was sleeping until Elizabeth had woken him up. For some reason, she was told by Najenda that there were intruders in the area. He can feel their very life force draining away. Even if he is the Messiah, he also a sense of death.

Elizabeth: Come on Makoto~! We must make way towards our companions!

Sighing to himself, he donned on his school attire...he should really get more set of clothes. Putting his evoker in his holster and clipped on his headphones, he blasted "Burn my dread".

They made it to the main lobby where Najenda was sitting and the others were currently standing. Tatsumi was standing in between Bulat and Akame.

Najenda: It seems we have some trespassers in our territory. Akame, Bulat, Tatsumi, you three are on point. Mine and Sheele will be at the back. Lubbock and Leone take care of any stragglers. Makoto and Elizabeth, either you can stay here or go out there.

Makoto: Even if they are enemies...I'll be there to ensure their death and sealment.

"No soul, robust
All dust, we bust
Justice to the man
With no life"

Everybody turned towards Makoto with a look of "Where are those sounds from?" He pointed to his headphones aa to which they nodded.

Elizabeth: I would like to stay to taste all of the divine confections if that is alright~ and do be careful Makoto-darling!

She bowed and took off straight into the kitchen. He merely chuckled at the attendant's appetite.

He chose to go with Mine and Sheele. It was to bond with them of course and to ensure them he will have their backs. Of course he can always back out and live a normal life...yeah right. He would get bored of the simple life, sure he would enjoy the peacefulness, but his other selves will just rage on. Power is what he has, and if he was to live that simple life, it would be just day to day simple chores.

Mine: Say, Makoto? Do happen to have one of persona thingies that operate in long range distances? I'm curious.

Sheele is seen walking around him like a puppy examing him.

Makoto: I do. Some of my personas are well adapted to range other than close combat.

He remembered Yukari Takeba would occasionally be by his side during some fights in Tartarus. She was extremely skillful with a bow that he had created for her. She would polish it and take it with her always. He was cut off when he heard a yell from behind...

Sheele had stabbed the assailant through the heart with a giant pair of scissors as Mine charged her teigu and unleashed a shot of energy hitting one of the intruders, killing him in one shot.

He felt dread in the air which prolonged sealment, putting his evoker to his head, he felt the smooth cold steel kiss his skin. He summoned Thanatos as he went over to the mangled corpse and ordered Thanatos to send it away. Opening one of it's coffins, it sucked in the dead man's corpse and shut tight.

He was being stared at again, although this time with a sense of confusion.

Sheele: Why...would you...do that?

He clicked his tongue.

Makoto: Someone must send them to the afterlife. It's a thankless job and responsibility.

He left the little group and searched for more dead men. Sealing them and finally laying them to rest.

Whe he got back, he was being informed by Tatsumi that Bulat had a Teigu named Incursio. He had asked Bulat to show him Incursio as long as he'll show him another persona.

And there it was, Incursio kind of looked like Izanagi in some ways but very differently. Incursio has stealth and a spear and it will only accept people who have a sense of justice, righteous heart.

Izanagi was a persona that his successor Yu Narukami had when they had been summoned in a labyrinth with both SEES and the Investigation Team.

Bulat: Would you be willing to show me a persona based upon strength?

He pulled out his trusty sleek evoker and pulled the trigger. The being appeared with a sword in its right hand, a shield on it's back, armor that bore onto it's chest, silver eyes and and a tanned skin. He was surprised he still had this persona in his sea of souls.

Bulat: And who might this be?

"I am Siegfried, young one. I hath come from thy sea of souls of Messiah."

Makoto raised a brow at the incantation of which his persona had stated. Him? A Messiah? It's true that he did save humanity back in his world but he wasn't a native to this world.

"Do not deny it Young Messiah. We hath seen what you hath accomplished."

Siegfried returned back into the sea of souls.

Bulat: Messiah? Makoto-kun here is a Messiah? Surely not! But then again, he has so many surprises that I don't know. Anyways, thanks bro for showing me a persona. If that is all, I shall take my leave.

"I am thou...thou art I
You hath reawakened the Strength Arcana...We of the Strength Arcana give you our blessing."

He smiled to himself. Looks like this will start to get more interesting.

Tatsumi groaned as he was turning and tossing in his bed. He had been thinking about his childhood friends again. Tears swelled up in his eyes as the drop onto the sheets.

He was interrupted by a knock on the door, he brushed away the tears and opened the door only to be hugged by Sheele.

Tatsumi:...Sheele? Why?

Sheele:...You are...hurting...in the inside. I want to...comfort you.

She spoke softly, thus Tatsumi cried into Sheele's loving and caring embrace.

Ending it here with a light hearted moment. Grief is what makes us human. We have many different ways of consoling to it, yet the more it stacks, the less we enjoy the smaller things in life. We press on. Again, sorry for the delay. See you next time!
