Chapter 19: The Other Nine Wood Hills

Akira: What is that?

???: The path that take you to the Crystal Tower.

They saw two Masked People

Yusuke: Who are you?

??? 2: Follow that path, and you will find the answers you seek.￼

Morgana: Who?

???: Lusse Farna and your Persona.

Ann: Huh?

???: If you wish to find them, you must brave the Crystal Tower.

Lann: Then our mother and the Persona are up there somewhere? They're still alive?

??? 2: The four keys you collected give up the right to know. If you have the courage.

They disappeared

Tama: They the-vanished! Who in the-grymoire was that?

Ryuji: Guys, let's go!

Akira: Hold on.

Lann: Huh? What for?

Haru: Why did those Person's tell us all that? They must have had a reason.

Lann: Uh, well... How in the honk am I supposed to know. Does that mean you're gonna quit? After everything?

Morgana: No, it's just... Come on, think about it. There's something strange about Grymoire.

Ann: Well, yeah, I'll admit it's kinda weird. I mean, it's full of little people and--

Futaba:￼ It's not that. The prophecies. They treat us like characters in some kind of story. It feels like someone wrote out a plan and you and us are just going along with it.

Lann: What? Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Guys, you are really overthinking this.

Makoto: You all underthinking ￼it.

Ryuji: Well... Okay, maybe you're right about that. But don't act like this "story" is writing itself! We almost died a bunch of times. If we haven't got our Powers back, we never could've made it this far. The way we see it, we did that all on our own. It wasn't... pre.. um... Tama?

Tama: it think maybe the word you the-want ￼is "preordained"?

Ryuji: That's the one. There's no way it could have been preordained.

Yusuke: Okay. Or predestifield, right?

Tama: All of this is starting to make my vocabulary the-hurt...

Reynn: Well, one thing's for sure. We have no choice.

Reynn's Mind: Wormmon did say that there was no changing the Prophecy.

Lann: Reynn?

Reynn: Okay. Let's head to the Crystal Tower.

Lann: Oh, okay!

They head up the stairs

Ryuji: Say, in, the stairs here aren't gonna do anything crazy like collapse, right?

Tama: Don't let a little things like that the-stop you.

Morgana: You don't think we can't fly, right!?

They arrived here and it looks like Nine Wood Hill

Akira: Huh? How did we wind up back home?

Tama: We the-didn't. Take a closer the-look.

Morgana: Yeah it's similar, but not the same, it's...

Lann: Old-fashioned?.. I guess you might say?

Reynn: Yeah, unlike Nine Wood Hills, this is a real ghost town.

They are heading to the tower

Makoto: Look, everyone.

Yusuke: This must be the Crystal Tower.

Ann: Well, let's go everyone.

???: Turn back!

They saw Terra and Rise

Futaba: Magitek Armor!￼

Haru: Who are you?

They saw Terra and Rise

Terra: We don't--- Aaah! Turn back! You must not... go any... further..!

Yusuke: What do you mean?

Then Terra summoned her Mirage and Rise summon her Persona

Akira: Huh? Are you a Summoner?

Rise: Just... Run! Aah!￼

They fight them and they defeated them

Terra: No... You mustn't...

She and Rise fell unconscious

Akira: Are they Alright?

Morgana: They're okay, just passed out... They barely even hurt. I guess they're pretty strong.

Tama: It seemed like he didn't the-really ￼want to do any of that.

Ryuji: As long as he's okay, we'd better keep on moving. Before someone else can attack us.

Morgana: Sure.

They went off

And then Dark￼ Seiten Taisen, Segwarides, Dark Sakkaku and Dark Mercursius appeared

Segwarides: How dutiful of them to come and Tama the esper in a stroke. A lovely little flourish.

Dark Mercursius: All the same, they've merely doomed the last oxto the yoke. (Laugh)
