Adventuring Other-Worlds With The Adapting System 41 Joker

Akira moved all around the room, fiddling with anything and everything while Ryuji became 'Captain Obvious' as he pointed out the things everyone could see.

"That chain over there seems bolted to the wall…"

"That barrel seems empty…"

Axel just stood by and watched while trying not to burst into laughter. While their actions didn't seemed scripted as they genuinely were trying to find a way out, the way they were going about it was hilarious.

However, his laughter didn't last long as the sound of footsteps could be heard. Unlike in the game, Ryuji leapt into the barrel to hide while Akira pretended to sleep on the bed.

With nowhere to hide, Axel opted to just stand in the middle of the cell. The door slowly opened as a man wearing nothing but a cape, his underwear and a fancy crown walked inside.

As he went to open his mouth to speak, Ryuji leapt towards the man while screaming. Then, as if they discussed it earlier, Akira dashed off the bed with the ragged blanket in his hands and wrapped his head with it.

Axel stared in a daze as the man didn't even get to speak a word before being besieged by the two teens. Ryuji and Akira were already outside of the cell as Ryuji screamed, "Dude, get a move on! He won't stay confused for long!"

Impressed by their teamwork, Axel followed the two outside. However, not before stealing the key off of shadow Kamoshida and locking him inside the cell. Ryuji and Akira both gave Axel a mischievous smile, which Axel returned with a smile just as mischievous.

After running for a bit, the boys stopped as the sound of armour clacking around could be heard just around the corner.

Whispering, "I got this.", Axel leaned against the corner as he listened to what the guards were talking about.

"Hey, did you guys get the memo? Some intruders are roaming around the castle. They somehow escaped when the king was going to execute them."

"Really? Wow… what a lousy king. Letting the prisoners escape."

"I know right? King Kamoshida is lucky his standing makes him king or else we'd be trying for a new King."

Axel was surprised by what he was hearing. It turns out that the shadows weren't was loyal to Kamoshida as they were in the anime. h.e.l.l, the even doubted him and wanted a replacement.

However, before Axel could get more information, Ryuji suddenly yelled, "Yo, did those guys just say Kamoshida?"

Both Akira and Axel glared at Ryuji as they yelled, "d.a.m.n IT RYUJI!!!"

Giving both Akira and Axel a clueless look, Ryuji said, "What? What'd I do?"

As soon as he finished talking Ryuji finally realised that his little outburst had given away their location and now they were cornered by a huge group of armoured guards.

The guards quickly swarmed the trio, making sure to capture Axel first. As they struggled to free themselves, the man who they locked in the cell appeared before them. He clapped sarcastically as he said, "Well done. You three managed to escape me for a full five minutes."

Ryuji glared at the man as he yelled, "What the h.e.l.l Kamoshida! You can't just hold us here like captives!"

Shadow Kamoshida burst into laughter before roaring, "I CAN DO WHATEVER THE h.e.l.l I WANT TO!!!"

Kamoshida seemed insane as he suddenly started throwing punch after punch at Ryuji's stomach while s.a.d.i.s.tically laughing. Without even a second thought, Kamoshida s.n.a.t.c.hed one of the guards sword and lifted it above his head.

Ryuji was shaking in pain and fear as he started thrashing about while begging to live. The s.a.d.i.s.tic smile on Kamoshida's face grew and grew as he said, "Die."

However, just as Kamoshida went to slash at Ryuji, a shockwave burst outwards from Akira's body. The guards and Kamoshida were knocked back a bit, causing them to stumble around as Akira suddenly had a white and black mask covering his eyes.

Confused and scared, Akira desperately clawed at the mask around his face while ignoring the huge amount of pain it seemed to bring him. While all this was going on, Axel was silently recording him using his phone as the transformation scene in any persona game is really freaking cool.

Suddenly, a deep and gentlemanly voice bellowed as an azure flame burst from bellow Akira and slowly began changing his outfit, "Vow to me… I am thou… thou art I… thou who would accept blasphemy for the sake of thine own justice… call upon my name, and release thy rage… show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own… though thou be chained to h.e.l.l itself!!!"

Akira's eyes snapped open as he yelled, "COME… a.r.s.eNE!!!"

The blue flames that covered Akira slowly started to materialise behind him until it took the form of an angel. However, what appeared was anything but one. The flames exploded, exposing a large angel with black wings that was wearing a suave red suit. It's head seems to be a black helmet with horns while it's facial features were made with a red flame that emanated from within the helm.

Akira's demeanour suddenly changed as his face showed a c.o.c.ky smile. In a s...o...b..aty manner, Akira dramatically waved his hands. The dark angel behind him then mimicked his actions and unfurled his wings, send a large gust that sent the guards and Kamoshida flying while simultaneously freeing Ryuji and Axel.

Before anyone could react, Akira grabbed Ryuji and Axel before taking off further into the dungeon.

After a couple minutes, Akira stopped as be began panting. Ryuji wasn't much better as he held his leg while cringing. Axel, on the other hand, was complete fine and decided to be a temporary look out until the pair recovered.

Ryuji suddenly muttered, "…What the h.e.l.l was that?"

Akira seemed to have relatively recovered as he replied, "I… honestly don't know. The only thing I do know is that it's called a persona."

Ryuji seemed unsatisfied with that answer but understood that this was all likely new to Akira as well.

As the pair finally recovered, Axel gave them a small smile as he said, "Thanks for the save."

A huge smile suddenly appeared on Ryuji's face as he gave a strong slapped to Akira's shoulder and said, "Yeah man. I totally would've been a goner if it wasn't for you."

Akira was about to reply when he suddenly stopped. Confused, Ryuji was about to ask of everything was alright when Akira said, "Do you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" Asked Ryuji, completely clueless as he couldn't hear anything.

Axel ignored Ryuji's question as he could clearly hear the voice that seemed to be calling out to them from a couple cells away. He released a small smile as he knew just what was trying to get their attention.

"I hear something too. I think it's coming from further down. Let's check it out." Said Axel as he began walking further into the dungeon with the two boys in tow.
