Part 98: 8/19/09

8/19/09

Another call from Elizabeth, more bad news.



Good morning. This is Elizabeth.
I am calling to inform you that another human has strayed into Tartarus.
1 this time, I believe. Please don’t delay in carrying out your rescue.
Goodbye, now.
> The call ended.

I got much better news a bit later, Saori wanted to go to the movies.



Would you like to go to the movies today?
It seems they’re showing a series of nature documentaries.
…Does that sound all right?
Really? Haha, excellent, I already can’t wait.
> Saori seems excited…
> You have decided to go to the movies with Saori.

We had a lot of fun.



> The theater is crowded because of the movie marathon. There’s a new theme each day.
> Today, they’re showing nature documentaries.
Ah, over here, Aelita-chan.
* chuckle * I already bought a program, I couldn’t contain myself.
C’mon, let’s go.
> ………
> After watching the beautiful scenery in the movies, you feel like your charm has increased.
Those were really amazing to see on such a large screen.
I almost yelped when that bear was catching fish.
* chuckle * Silly of me, huh?
Thank you so much for today. I’ll see you at school.
> After saying goodbye to Saori, you decided to go back to the dorm.

The heat hasn’t let up at all.



Damn, it’s hot…
I’m sweatin’ like a pig.
It’s all in your head…
The heat will only affect you if you allow it to.
……
…Of course, there are limits to that theory.
Ugh…

Nor do our responsibilities.



Newscaster: …And now, some more disturbing news.
Satsuki Onozuka (64), a housewife in Minato-ku, has been reported missing.
Police are looking into the possibility that she was involved in an accident, but ask for public support.
> There’s a possibility that she may have wandered into Tartarus…
> You must go rescue her…

So we went to Tartarus.



there seems to be someone inside Tartarus, between floors 95 and 100.
It would be best for you to search the tower for them and find them as soon as you can.

The barricade blocking our progress fell, as with every other time.



> The pathway is becoming unobstructed…

The Shadows were stronger, but there was no way we could let something like that slow us down with someone inside this place.



A few floors later, Fuuka pinpointed yet another Guardian.



The 98th floor!
I realize it’s a ways away, but please be ready.

On the way there, Fuuka sensed the missing woman.



There’s someone on this floor! Find them, please!

While we were searching, Fuuka learned a new trick.



I’ve acquired a new Persona ability!
I can tell if an attack will work on the enemy or not!
This ability will only work after you’ve analyzed an enemy.
Be sure you analyze the enemy so the battle would be easier.

And fortunately, we found the woman alive and well.



……? Is that one of the ones who went missing?
We need to treat them as soon as possible… Please come back to the entrance immediately!

We brought her back before pushing on to face the Guardians.



There are 3 enemies in the middle!

They were terrible Shadow magicians.

Watch

Boss Battle: Magical Magi
The Magical Magi mean business. They are armed with powerful Ice magic, Bufudyne and Mabufula. They also have Makarakarn, which will reflect magic attacks back at their casters, and Mind Charge, which will make their next spell much more powerful. These guys will just straight rain powerful ice attacks on your party and don’t particularly have an obvious weakness. As it turns out, though, they are particularly susceptible to being Panicked (which will both silence them and make them much more likely to suffer critical hits). And it just so happens Mitsuru both has a spell to panic groups and takes a lot less damage from ice. Funny how that works, yeah? Drop a Tentarafoo at the start and they’ll be dead before you can blink.

It was just too much to go any farther in this damned heat, we’ll have to pick it up again later.
