Yoro was completely in the zone, planning and executing complex combination attacks with his Persona. However, he didn't see the large bolt of lightning crash down on him until it was too late. His arms and legs gave out. He was completely numb. With a soft cry, he fell forward. Yoro could smell his burned clothes and hair. "Rrrngh..." With an immense amount of effort, he pulled himself up. He took many deep breaths and shook out his muscles. The second Shadow followed up with a ball of fire, but as the attack was charging up, Inugami hit the Shadow with a bolt of lightining. This gave Yoro enough time to react. Yoro held his hand out to Ares and shouted a single word; "Change!" Ares was enveloped in a white light. After a few seconds, the light faded. In the place Ares once stood was a glowing blue ball levitating six feet off the ground. Yoro formed a fist with his hand and shouted again. "Pyro Jack!" The ball exploded in a brilliant blue light, revealing a tiny sprite dressed in a black robe. A witch's hat sat on its round pumpkin head. In its hand, it clutched a black lantern with an orange flame burning within. The little Persona raised the lantern casually as the fireball grew nearer. It didn't even make it to Yoro. In an instant, the attack was absorbed into Pyro Jack's lantern.
"Go, Pyro Jack!" Yoro pointed to the Shadow that had fired off a lightning attack. Pyro Jack raised the lantern a little more aggressively this time. The dancing flame grew to a roaring inferno. Somehow, Pyro Jack flung a fireball out of the lantern, aimed directly at the Shadow. It tried to block with the papers around it, but the fireball tore right through its defenses and sent it flying into the door directly behind it. The Shadow laid there, its shield burning around it. "One more!" Pyro Jack repeated the attack at the other Shadow. It tried to dodge, but failed miserably, meeting the same fate as the other Shadow. It collapsed to the ground. Yoro turned to Youhei and it was then when he realized he was injured. But first thing's first...
Yoro turned to Youhei, giving him a friendly smile. "You take the one against the door, i'll take the other one?" Yoro didn't wait for an answer. "GO!" Pyro Jack showered the Shadow with searing hot flames. The Shadow screamed in agony... well... Yoro thought it screamed. It continued to burn until it finally materialized into black goo, evaporating the second it hit the ground. Breathing heavily, Yoro dismissed his Persona, the collapsed to the ground. Youhei would be able to faintly hear him say, "So... exhausted..." Yoro was used to the Dark Hour; he had been experiencing it for ten years after all. But forcing himself to fight that desperately against so many enemies pushed him to his limit. But he couldn't rest now. They had a mission. He would complete it himself if he had to. No... that was the way he preferred it.
