Hey guys! I know this was long awaited but it's finally done! It isn't bad but it could be better though. I hope you guys still like it though.

Yui's POV

The four of us charged up the stairs with Chie leading us. "Hey Yui! You doing good?" Yosuke asked me as I faced him and nodded, "Yeah. May not look like it but I have tons of stamina. My parents put me in martial arts so I have to have high stamina." He gives an 'oh' reaction as I try to catch up to Chie. "You know, that didn't seem like Yukiko~San... here or the Midnight Channel. Yukiko~San would never say she was looking for studs!" I may not have known her for long but I do think it's quite odd. "She's hunting studs? What would she want to hunt horses for?" Huh? Is he that innocent? With Yosuke's scoldings, we continue to run as I try to keep up with Chie.

3rd Person POV

We're coming Amagi... we're coming!

Just a little bit longer Yukiko!

We're almost there...!

"Huh? Who's there? Who's calling me?"

The doors to the throne room swung open to show Chie Satonaka ready for battle. Her eyes analyzed the room to find Yukiko Amagi and her shadow. "Yukiko!" "Chie!" The two girls called out to one another as the green cladded girl ran towards the kimono-wearing girl. "hAlT!" Shadow Yukiko casted her hand out which made the chandelier hanging from the ceiling to swing in Chie's direction. "CHIE! LOOK OUT!" "Huh? Chie...? Chie!" A silver haired girl reached both her hands out while rushing into the room.

Yui's POV

Chie's in danger... I need to save her!

"You have established the bond of the Chariot Arcana. These Persona's are noted by their strength. Use it to protect those who need it, oh chosen one!"

Margaret... okay. "Ara Mitama!" Calling out, Ara Mitama came in front of Chie, protecting her from the chandelier. It took a lot out of me, but I was able to push the chandelier back. Collapsing from exhaustion, Yosuke caught me, asking if I was okay. Chie did the same and I responded with yes. "aRa ArA! tHrEe pRiNcEs HaVe CoMe!~ HoW eXcItInG~?" Huh? It's Amagi and her shadow! "Wait, three princes... are you talking about Yosuke, Yui and me?" Chie wondered, "aHaHaHa~! YeS! yOu ThReE aRe My PrInCes. Or At LeAsT cHiE wAs..." her answer left Chie thinking about the 'was' she said. "OnCe ChIe ReVeAlEd ThAt ShE cAn'T sAvE mE, tHaT iS wHeN nArUkAmI bEcAmE a GrEaT pRiNcE. i MeAn, ShE sAvEd Me BeFoRe, ShE'lL sAvE mE aGaIn...!" Huh? Wait, is she talking about that time I helped her with that creepy kid? "Ah, YeS... yOu ReMeMbEr, RiGhT nArUkAmI? nOw TeLl Me, WilL yOu SaVe Me YeT aGaIn?" What? My lack of an answer sent Shadow Yukiko to scoff in disgust. "In ThAt CaSe..." with a grunt, she sent the chandelier back our way. I was still exhausted so I couldn't have Ara Mitama block it. "I got it!" Out of nowhere, Jiraiya went to stop the swinging chandelier but it was no good. It just drove him into the wall, making Yosuke drop me by clenching his stomach in pain and grunt. "You have to call him back, Yosuke!" All he did was grunt in pain. The moment he tried, it didn't work as he was too far away. "Persona change! Izanagi!" Ara Mitama changed into Izanagi as I sent it to Jiraiya to try to pry the chandelier off. "Chie! Go get Amagi, I got Yosuke!"

With a small nod, Chie summoned Tomoe and ran ahead. "nOt So FaSt!" Carpet swirled around both the short haired girl and her Persona as Yosuke and I tried harder to help out Chie. "ThAt'S eNoUgH!" Flames grew large as the wax from the candles of the chandelier flew out and hit Yosuke's foot and knee that was planted on the floor. As for me, it hit both of my knees and calves since I was sitting on them. "Ugh! I can't move!" Neither can I... I tried calling Izanagi but he was also hit by the wax spray. "YoU dOn'T kNoW hOw I fEeL! nOnE oF yOu! I hAtE tHaT mY lIfE iS jUsT dEcIdEd FoR Me! I wAnT tO bE fReE! i WaNt To Go SoMeWhErE fAr AwAy! I wAnT tO bE aNyWhErE bUt HeRe!" Amagi... "Stop it! They've had enough! I'm begging you, please leave them alone!" "HiStOrIcAl iNn? PrIde Of ThE tOwN? sCrEw It AlL!?". Amagi looked shocked at her other self's words. "How could you say that?" Oh no... "I'm OnLy SpEaKiNg ThE tRuTh! AfTeR aLl, I aM yOu!" with clenched fist and gritted teeth, Amagi stood up. "... no... you're not me!" The shadow's cackling led the four of us stunned. Black mist surrounded it and once it faded, another chandelier, in the shape of a bird's cage this time, dropped from the ceiling with a giant red bird in it. That must be Amagi's shadow! "I aM a ShAdOw, ThE tRuE sElF!" "Huh?" Suddenly, another cage came down. But this time, it took Amagi in its clutches. "Yukiko!" "Chie!" Chie started to try and wiggle her way out, which was successful, and ran to Amagi. "I wOn'T aLlOw YoU tO gEt ClOsEr!" The bird's feathers turned into giant flames that reached Yosuke, Izanagi, Jiraiya and me. Wait, it's melting! "Yosuke! Try getting out now!" We both did so and were able to break free along with Jiraiya and Izanagi.

"Yui! I need cover!" On it! "Pyro Jack!" Izanagi changed into Pyro Jack as I sent him to guard Chie from the oncoming flames. "ToO bAd! I tHoUgHt ChIe WoUlD sAvE mE. bUt SiNcE tHaT dAy... No MoRe! ChIe DoEsN't CaRe AbOuT mE! I wAiTed... sO vErY... vErY... LONG!" Pyro Jack tried to keep up with the fire but it was too much. "Yui!" "Is that what you're going on about?! Do you know what Chie had to endure to get this far? She faced it all to save Amagi! Do you think she would've risked her life to save her if she didn't care Amagi!?" I yelled out while getting burned from the oncoming flames. "Yui... you're right." and with this resolve, Chie walked towards Amagi. "Yukiko..." "Chie get out of here!" "Yukiko... I'm not leaving you. Truth is-" Chie was cut off by more flames blowing past her. "Grr... truth is, I was always jealous of you!"

3rd Person POV

"You have everything I didn't... that's why I was so happy that you relied on me to protect you."

"Thank you so much Chie!"

"ThAt'S rIgHt! I cAn'T dO aNyThInG, i'M hElPlEsS!?"

"That's not true! Yukiko... you're the strongest person I know."

"I'm not... Chie... I'm far too weak! It was the same back then, when Yukimura flew away... I wasn't upset... I was mortified! The bird I thought was trapped like me... had the strength to leave that cage and fly away in a few months when I couldn't even do it in 16 years! I'm weak! I'm a horrible coward! I can't even leave THIS cage!"

"Don't say that! Yukiko, if you want to leave the cage, just do it! You can do it! And it's not weakness, you were afraid of leaving those you love, you were afraid of being selfish!" Chie dropped to her knees while coughing with Yukiko shouting out her friend's name.

"There are many things about me I'm afraid and ashamed of. But they don't matter! You know why? Because I'm your friend! Now and forever!" The short haired girl stretched her hand out the long haired girl.

"Chie..." "You're right... what was I so afraid of? I have everything I need..." A flash of Yukimura flying up popped in Yukiko's mind. "To break away from these damn chains!" With a great big push, Yukiko was able to break the barrier that held her back from her best friend. The two girls hug each other, both relieved. "No!" The shadow squacked, "Ready Yui?" The silver haired girl nodded at her male classmate. "Pyro Jack!" Pyro Jack flew up and began absorbing the fire Shadow Yukiko was casting. Little did the shadow know, Jiraiya was behind her. "Now!" With Yosuke's command, Jiraiya punched the shadow down as it met with Tomoe's kick. It went up and dissolved into red feathers, falling everywhere.

Yui's POV

We did it... yes. All at once, my legs gave out on me as I fell on my knees. Guess me rushing all at the start did it. If I didn't do that, I would've been more useful. 'You can't have your emotions get the better of you', father said that and now I know what he means now. "Yui, you okay?" Yosuke places his hand on my shoulder as I nod. "Yeah, I just need to catch my breath. C'mon, Chie and Amagi are up ahead!" I stood up and walked slowly towards the two girls. "-you see, that's why I created you. I was so caught up in my own head. I wanted to escape, I wanted to run away, those thoughts clouded my vision so much. I'm so sorry for ignoring your voice before, you are a part of me." Amagi wrapped her arms around the torso of her shadow.

The power of one's self has been made manifest.
Yukiko Amagi has faced her other self...
She has obtained the facade used to overcome life's hardships, the Persona Konohana Sakuya!

Amagi collapsed as I caught her just in time. "Thank you... Narukami..." I responded with a smile as I helped her out with Chie. "You guys... came all the... way here to save me?" She asked as I smiled at her. "So who threw you in here?" Wait, where was Teddie during that fight? (I'll answer that Yui, he was behind the door watching the fight lol) "Um, who are you? Actually, what are you?" She asked with a confused look. At least she caught her breath "I'm beary much a bear!" 'Beary' much? Actually, it wasn't bad though. "I'm not sure I follow..." "See? Everything you say just causes confusion!" Oh god, please don't fight you two. "Come on you guys, let's get out of here! Yukiko doesn't look too good." True that. "Chie's right, c'mon!" and with that, I led the way out of the castle. Surprisingly, the shadows left us alone. Maybe because we have Yukiko, the ruler of this place, with us.

Hey guys! So what did you think? Don't worry, this will be edited after I finish this fanfic so don't worry. I don't know when the next chapter will be out mainly because I was focusing more on The Velvet Academy as well as Mystic Spell. But now that I have most of them done, I can focus more on these fanfics! Anyway, that's it. Have a nice day!
