Chapter 255 - Dig

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Now just hold on a minute! I know things seem bad as it is but this is all just a freak accident, I mean their was a literal alien invasion mere minutes ago and the Counterforce didn't do anything, but suddenly he goes on a rampage and now you guys decide that he's considered an extinction level threat to humanity and Not! The! Aliens!" Shinigami couldn't help but shout at the two counter force agents for stepping in only now when the real major threat was the rampaging 'Six' that they had pinned down at the moment.

Both Archer and the guy in the white suit, who's real name is actually Sakamoto Ryouma, looked at each other before Sakamoto just shrugged.

"Like hell we know everything, all we were told that an extinction level threat appeared and to personally intervene and eliminate said threat, not only that but it takes time for us to materialize in situations where the even itself is taking place outside real space and in something akin to a reality marble, maybe we were summoned to deal with this invasion of our world, maybe we were summoned to deal with him, or in all likelihood it was for both but you already took out one while this guy has begun to go out of control, and left unchecked he can definitely destroy the planet and the Counter Force has decided he needs to die, it's as simple as that." Sakamoto said while tightening his grip on his katana as the shadows began to move and change shape around him.

"Ryoma, enough with the talking already, I'm itching to tear into this Ice Queen here." Suddenly the mass of shadows surrounding Ryoma began to form into the shape of a woman wearing all black clothes floating in the air with very long black hair as she intently grinned with a blood thirsty look at Esdeath who was also beginning to give off the feel, as all this was happening Fortunate Son was giving a rundown for everyone who doesn't understand the true machinations of this world as to who these people were.

"Man I already thought this world was weird with spirits and aliens, but now I learn the actual planet has a will of its own and calls really powerful hero's from the past or future in order for them to defend humanity from extinction, and that's only the part of the planet that wants humanity to live while the other half wants us dead, ugh…. My flipping head….." Momo groaned out as for her and Okuras group it was a lot to take in, though Saiki and Maou handled the information easier as they dealt with plenty of things that it didn't effect them as much.

"There's even more I haven't mentioned but let's just keep it at that for now, anyway Mikan my dear, your powers will be most needed in order to bring Hifumi back to his senses." Fortunate Son said while looking towards Mikan.

"Me? But I haven't even really really worked on using that power yet! If I use it wrongly I might cripple or even kill him!" Mikan said while waving her hands and shaking her head back and forth as she knew how strong her other ability she had gained from Hifumi could be for help to him more than just being the doctor of the group.

But Fortunate Son placed his hand on her shoulder, "But you can and I know you can, it is the only way to pull him out of this as this Persona that has taken over his mind is what is deemed as a threat, through Shinigami the counterforce knows that Hifumi is a protector of Humanity, however Six as he calls himself now isn't recognized by the counterforce and thus they sent their guardians to kill him for good, all you need to do is use your Stand and tear apart 'Six' from Hifumi." He said as she looked down at her hands before clenching them.

"I don't…. I dont want to be alone anymore…. Without him I wouldn't have become as happy as I am now with so many friends who genuinely care about me and don't care if I'm clumsy or weird, but I'm scared…. Scared that all of this will suddenly go away if I lose him…." Mikan said with tears rolling down her cheek only for her to be hugged from behind by Saki along with Briar.

"Mikan, no matter what happens I won't hate you, and even if we have become rivals when it comes to Hifumi's attention I will always see you as my friend until the day I die." Saki said holding Mikan close.

"Briars friends will always be Briars friends, don't worry Mikan, you got this!" Briar said going out of her way to encourage Mikan to do what needs to be done.

Soon enough Mikan rubbed the tears from her eyes and clapped her cheeks, "Alright! I will do my best!" Mikan said regaining her confidence before she walked towards the downed 'Six' as she stood beside Saiki.

""Whatever your going to do it's best to do it fast, those guys are keeping them busy but I don't know for how long."" Saiki said while keeping 'Six' contained under neath the immense pressure.

"𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕚𝕗 𝕀 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕀 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕𝕟'𝕥 𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕕 𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕤𝕖 𝕡𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕕𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕪 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕥 𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕝𝕦𝕕𝕖𝕕….. 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥? 𝔸 𝕊𝕙𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝? 𝔸𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕘𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕣𝕪 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕓𝕦𝕣𝕪 𝕞𝕖 𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕘𝕚𝕣𝕝𝕪?

"No, but I'm going to get rid of you so I can have my Hifumi back!" She shouted out before aiming the spade down and sending it straight through 'Six's' back.

No blood came out but the lights in 'Sixes' eyes dimmed before going completely pitch black as his consciousness was silenced.

Soon enough Mikan reinforced her arms with her magic and began trying to 'Dig' into 'Six' as a black mass began to be pulled out of his body.

But try as she might she didn't have the actual strength to force the 'Persona' out of Hifumi's body.

But seeing her struggle Saki Ran up to her and began trying to help her dig it up making the black mass come out a bit more, soon Briar helped and more came out and even the rest of Okuras group came to all help out with pulling out this black mass of darkness.

"Come on! Lift harder!" (Momo)

"Whatever this thing it's stuck in deep and not letting go!" (Okura)

"Just a bit more! Those tendrils are breaking!" (Aria)

Everyone, except Rokuro who had gotten what he desired done and was now just recording all this data for the rest of his kind, gave it their all and slowly but surely the black mass began to come out more and more until finally it was released from his body making everyone stumble and fall back in the process.

After the Black Mass left Hifumi his body returned to normal as his long hair went back to its normal short style along with the black hair returning to its normal brown.

But the black mass reformed into the familiar shape of Six but it seemed like he had gotten upgrades as both of his arms were now bionic in nature as he looked at himself and cracked his neck while smoke surrounded him.

"𝕎𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕟, 𝕀 𝕕𝕠 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕀'𝕞 𝕗𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕣 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕤𝕠-" but before he could finish a hole appeared in his chest making him stop to look down as he had no time to react before he was sucked up into said hole and completely vanished from the world proper.

"You talk to much." They heard a familiar voice only to see Hifumi standing up once more and having regained his body for himself.

"Sorry everyone you had to see that, now then, what's the situation?" He asked them all as everything began to start to calm down.

Only for this to be the calm before the real storm.

"ℍ𝕞𝕞? 𝕀𝕞 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕕𝕖𝕒𝕕? 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤…. 𝔸𝕞 𝕀 𝕠𝕟 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝔸𝕝𝕚𝕖𝕟 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕥 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘?" Six asked himself as he realized he was now in another world that was covered in strange plants and fauna in it.

He looked around only to see a weird armor like thing kneeling atop a mound nearby where the plants seemed to grow more in nature from said armor.

Six approached it as if curious and when he reached it the side plates of this head began to open and more of the wriggling mass slowly came out of this armor and when he touched it he vanished before the eyes of the armor glowed as they came to life for the first time.

After all Hifumi didn't kill Six as he was needed in order to find the others and thus he was thrown into Hifumi's pocket world, so this wouldn't be the last time we would see of the ghost of 'Six'
