The memories shown of his classmates were horrific to say the least, some more than others. Kazuo watched silently with an unpleasant look on his face. He couldn't begin to imagine what his classmates were going through. After all, his own memories are the only ones that weren't shown on the televisions. Ito reacted rather violently to her memories as she took her broomstick and smashed the glass display window. Kazuo covered his face with his arm but the glass shards dissipated into static like that shown on the TVs. Ito then proceeded to smash two of the TVs followed by Gruffydd who destroyed another one. The others, including Saito, Minto, Haruto, and Johnathan just collapsed with terror on their faces. Fortunately, Shinku, Dai, and Masako seem somewhat fine after their experiences but saying they were unfazed by it would be a lie. Shinku expressed her confusion while Dai suggested that something is messing with their heads. Masako agreed with Dai's statement and asked that they never look at "creepy television sets" again.

"Agreed," Kazuo simply said, still with an unpleasant look on his face. He explained to Dai, Shinku, and Masako that he witnessed all of their memories and that they should try calming the others down if possible. Unfortunately, they won't have the time to do such a thing. Seemingly rising through the ground were three shadowy forms. Once their masks appeared, Kazuo can see they were dealing with the same monsters as the one who kidnapped Ms. Sasaki. The monsters crept slowly towards the group; with most of them incapacitated, it was now left to Kazuo, Dai, Shinku, and Masako to deal with the monsters and all while attempting to protect the others. Their odds aren't looking so great. Kazuo removed the baton from his belt, ready to make his stand, but, who was he kidding? They don't really stand a chance against these things. Then, Kazuo's head began to pulsate with an indescribable pain while numerous indistinct whispers can be heard in his mind. He took several steps back while clutching his head with his free hand.

Then, out of nowhere, his free (left) hand was set ablaze with vibrant blue flames and the pain in his head subsided. Kazuo grew quiet for a brief moment. As he looked up again, a devious grin can be seen on his face but, more notably, his eyes turned bright yellow. He calmly walked forward, passed the group, and approached the monsters. Placing his burning hand on his face, he uttered, "Per... so... na." The flames engulfed his entire head and materialized into a white rabbit mask; his yellow eyes shone vibrantly through the eye holes. A torrent of blue flames spiraled around Kazuo before turning crimson red. Then a voice, extremely similar to Kazuo's, emanated from nowhere and said, [color=DC143C]"I am thou and thou art I..."[/color] From the flames surrounding Kazuo, a magnificent figure clad in red bursts forward. [color=DC143C]"From the sea of thy soul, I come. Tempered by fate's eternal flame, I am Sigurd, the sword of destiny!"[/color] The flames surrounding Kazuo is absorbed into Sigurd and the Persona rushed at the monsters.

His sword's blade grew bright orange from heat and, with one vertical slice, cleaved one of the monsters cleanly in half. As its bifurcated corpse fell to the ground, it dissipated into nothingness. The second monster leaped at Sigurd with its numerous clawed arms but he blocked the charge with his shield and then impaled the monster. Flames burst outward from the blade and burned the monster into ashes. The last monster is made quick work of with a single flaming slash. With all the monsters defeated, Sigurd disappears. Kazuo turns back around to face his classmates and his mask shatters away; his eyes also revert back to their normal appearance. Kazuo took a few steps towards his classmates but stops when he sees something ominous. "Move," he called out to Dai, Shinku, and Masako. Behind them, their other classmates rose back up to their feet but, this time, shadowy masks in the shape of different animals enveloped their faces; their eyes are also bright yellow like Kazuo's just moments ago but, unlike him, they possess a sinister aura.
