Chapter 16: Clash on the Big Bridge

Edgar: After all that I've put you through, this hardly suffices, but I have some information. One of the keys is in the "land of naught but night,' correct? Well, I may know where.

Lann: Really?

Reynn: Where is it?

Edgar: To the west of here, you'll find Big Bridge: a colossal crossing they will take to another continent. That particular continent gets no sunlight due to the thick, dark skies overhead. They even call "land of the stolen sun." Really, how can the place not be naught but night?

They're heading off

Ryuji: Whoa! That thing over there has gotta be it!

Tama: Now that's one big the-bridge!￼

Ann: Well, you sure can't say it doesn't live up to the name!

They arrived here and they see how long the bridge is

Morgana: Getting​ to the top is...

Futaba: Not gonna be fun.

Tama: I'll the-say.

Yusuke: Still, you have to admire it. Who could have built something's like this?

Eiko: Nobody ever built it. The Jiants summoned it here in ages past.

They saw Eiko and Koromaru the Dog

Eiko: I'm Eiko and this is Koromaru. Our job is to look after the bridge. You've come here to cross it, right?

Akira: Of course. So... you're saying that Big Bridge isn't man-made that someone summoned it here. But, like...

Eiko: First, the bridge has a real name. It's Alexander, in fact.

Makoto: Alexander?

Eiko: The great Mirage, Big Bridge Alexander!

Tama: Ah! It's... it's the-true! How did I the-miss it? I can sense the bridge's the-presence!

Ryuji: Wait, you mean. It's alive! Whoa!

Eiko: And that's why a summoner like me has to look after him.

Akira: So then, you're a Summoner.

Eiko: Yeah, but it's not like I'm turning that summoned him. So, can I ask you something?

Ann: Huh?

Eiko: Are you them? The one and only Jiants from the Hill and Persona Warriors?

Ryuji: Of course!

Ann: Yeah, that's... the word.

Eiko: Sooo... I guess that means it's true. Hm.. Hold on. If the prophecy is right... You better not even think about it! Don't you dare lead us down the wrong path! Nobody remember because they're caught by up in the Crimson Prophecy. The Azure Prophecy, it very clearly says you could bring us salvation or ruin. The divergent futures!

Reynn: Oh, that's right. Princess Sarah did tell us about the divergence.

Lann: Hold on, what?

Yusuke: You mean you forgot?

Eiko: I'm starting to worry... Maybe I shouldn't I let you use the bridge.

Morgana: Nope, we're fine for that. Me and my friends are totally going to reek the right future.

Ann: Sure are...

Eiko: Well, it's not like I can stop you. The Prophecy's about you, not me, right? Go on. You can cross. But don't go causing the apocalypse.

Reynn: Duly noted.

Tama: So is there some special the-trick to getting to the tippity-top of Alexander?

Eiko: Just get on. Me and Koromaru handle the wake-up call.

Futaba: It's what?

Eiko: Alexander's kind a sound sleeper. So it's my job to step in and sort of get things going. Now, off you go.

They get on

Eiko: Hang on to you tightly white Chocobos.

Lann: Okay! Ready when you are!

Tama: This is the-gonna be fun!

Ryuji: Thanks, Eiko and Koromaru!

They make the Lift go faster for them and it's just like a Rocket

Worrmon: Have a nice lift! Look, Me and Koromaru know you're over there. I suppose you want to cross the bridge too?

Then Dark Astarte and Pellinore appeared

Dark Astarte: No. Our business is here with you--- Summoner.

Eiko bring out her Mirage and Koromaru summon his Persona, Cerberus

Pellinore:￼ An Esper, as I thought. Look upon us now. Are we truly your enemies?

Eiko: Fenrir, your place is here by my side.

Dark Astarte: As you wish. But I hope you indulge us with a better fight than that mist dragon with the other Summoner.

Eiko: Other Summoner? You mean, Rydia!? No! What did you do to her!?

Pellinore: Soon you will no longer care.

They're gonna get her and the Dog

Meanwhile

Our Heroes wake up

Morgana: And here I thought Gravity was the worst that could happen to us...

Ryuji: Man, are we there yet?

They saw the Lift stop

Yusuke: I don't think so.

Tama: Poing! Hm? Why did we the-stop? Don't tell me Alexander went the-back to sleep?

Lann: Aw man! You don't think we should go up on foot?

Reynn: I have to say it, but yeah.

They have no choice but to climb up the stairs

Lann: No way!

Ryuji:

Morgana: Oh, don't worry. I'm sure it's not that long.

They climbing up the stairs

Morgana: See? It's not so bad, a little exercise won't hurt nobody.

20 Minutes Later

They look exhausted for climbing up the stairs

Ryuji: (Panting)

Akira: Nope, we didn't reach to the end.

Ryuji: Aw, man!
