Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

So Maria came back to the factory. It was a good training place so why not? She became a lot stronger since coming her for the first time. though her previous encounter was rather... strange. To put it lightly. Again she was stronger. Her sword ready to strike at any incoming foe. She was in enemy territory again. Any wrong move could mean dead. Something was different here tonight. It was early in the evening. Maria didn't feel tired though. Pure adrenaline was flowing through her. Like every day she went to fight such creatures. She didn't knew what she would encounter today, but she wouldn't be surprised anymore. She already accepted that these creatures didn't make any sense.

Tristan had been feeling uneasy since he had entered the old factory. This almost feels the same as that fight at the school... As such, he was on guard. It wouldn't do to go into this unprepared. With his scythe readied, he wandered around.
It wasn't long before he came upon the girl he had fought against the beach punks with. "Hey. What's up? You feeling these vibes too?" It took him a moment to realize that he sounded odd, but he started to laugh when he did. "Heh, keep up your guard. This feeling can't mean anything good. So watch out for something big."
Despite branching out more and more lately, the car factory was still one of the most familiar places in the outer circle for Layla. Several trips had left her with an almost perfect mental map of the main factory floor, and a good feel for what kind of shadows appeared there. Even the mission she had taken out there hadn't been too out of the ordinary, despite certain complications.
So the unpleasant feeling she got the moment she stepped in again was very far out of the ordinary.
She took cautious steps into the factory, keeping a much warier than normal watch out for anything hostile. Anything that came after her, she wanted to see and hear long before it could run her over. And if there was another tank lurking around, she wanted to know if she was in its line of sight before it could open fire.

Hey, it's that guy from the beach. "hi! Yea, I feel it too. But, boy it's nice to see a friendly face out here for a change." Maria reacted as she approached the boy. Did he really had to laugh, what if the shadows heard him. Maybe there were other people here too. Maria should have guessed he was an user too. As she was on the job as she was on. Well it was absurdly quiet here aside from those two. Then suddenly Maria heard some engine rolling. It was coming closer. Maria's Then engine was getting closer. Then she saw something coming closer in the distance. Lights jumped on and a car was visible. Someone tried to kill them, or something? "Watch out!" Maria shouted as she rolled aside, drawing her blade after the motion. Something was wrong here. The entire factory was down a car shouldn't be able to work anymore. Was it a shadow? "Pixie!" Maria shouted, firing a magaru at the car.

A friendly face? Well, Tristan could understand. It would get depressing to fight the shadows with no backup. He was about to respond when he heard a car engine. And it sounded like it was in pretty good shape. As such, he was suspicious. After all, a car shouldn't be able to work.
The sound came closer, almost like it was heading straight for them. The girl from the beach rolled as Tristan jumped; it was like in an action movie. With a small smile, he stood up and brushed himself off. Wait... Is the shadow the car or is it just driving?
Deciding that it didn't matter, he summoned Pyro Jack. "Let's see how you like this. Agilao!" He watched as Pyro Jack gathered up fire, with the small trinket that the blond lady had given him assisting in this. Then The super charged burst of flame shot itself at the car.

It wasn't a tank. Layla could tell that much as soon as she heard an engine roaring to life. It was too small to be a tank. Nonetheless, it was something that was active when nothing should have been, so she ran towards the source, reaching it just in time to see a pair of headlights come to life from within an open garage, and a car come flying out towards a couple other persona-users. They had to have gotten there before her, although Layla couldn't say for sure if they'd come this far in for the same reason or if they had just been exploring.
Either way, she had to help them. She ran towards the two, summoning Vajrabhairava as she went. The bull-headed Terminator of Death spread its arms wide, creating a mandala pattern on the ground in front of the car. As the car passed over, a brilliant flare of light erupted from beneath it.
The shadow controlled car charged forward, charging past the users before making a 180 degree turn to face them once more. As it went past them, it was attacked three times. The wind attack seemed to be rather effective, causing the car to swerve slightly. The fire attack unfortunately was repelled right back at the user. The light attack worked, but only seemed to do normal damage. The wheels of the car never stopped turning as it remained in one spot. Then, it began to swerve around them in a rather bizarre manner, almost as if taunting them.
The shadow's engine began to rev up with even more ferocity, causing whatever was under that car's engine to begin steaming. Critical Rate for physical attacks increased by 50% for everyone!

Maria could feel a harsh thing flying at her and the other people. Actually she didn't felt that but she saw it at their wounds afterwards. She kept her distance from it and it seemed like her attack did the most damage, but the other persona users needed healing. there was no time. She had to choose! A card appeared in her hand which she broke immediately. "Take care!" Maria shouted at everyone while releasing her power. Maria Tristan and the other girl would be enveloped in a white flash for a second that would ease their wounds a little. She had to make choices here, but it was far more important to survive then to win.

Well. Isn't that grand?
Tristan suddenly hated cars. First, it wasn't hurt at all by the fire. Understandable, given the internal-combustion engine. But it had to send the fire back at him, dealing a bit of damage. It was a good thing that he could resist fire. Second reason why he hated cars? It has to go and boost something in everyone. That was all fine and dandy, but then it has to go and try to steamroll everyone. So yeah, he hated cars now.
Figuring that finding out all of the weaknesses would benefit everyone, Tristan decided to use a spell that hadn't been used yet. "Pyro Jack. Mudo!" Watching as the car was enveloped in darkness, Tristan could only hope that it dealt more damage than Agilao did.
((Mudo))

"Hey," Layla called out to one of her impromptu teammates: the girl who had just healed the three of them in the aftermath of the car's charging attack. "Let me test out my other skills against this thing, and if I don't have anything more effective I'll take over healing. You've got the most effective offense at the moment." Sure, she was probably doing more raw damage. But stronger skills meant they were more taxing to use, which meant that if the battle was going to be drawn out (entirely possible if they only had one effective attacker) then it was better to rely on less exhausting options.
That, however, would wait until she was sure the car didn't have any other weaknesses though. Summoning Vajrabhairava again, Layla waited for the car to finish turning around for another pass, then called forth a lightning storm over it and brought down a bolt of electricity on the car.
As the car drifted around for another drive by, it was hit by a few more attacks. The dark attack appeared to do normal damage to the car. But the electric attack seemed to charge it up! Feeling a bit more energized after that turn, the engine of the car roared as it rode back into the fight.
Recalling the last attack that had hit it, the car's engine began to roar as it sent out a moderately powerful electric attack at everyone! It seems that the car can mimic attacks as well!
The car seemed to have amazing adaptive abilities for whatever type of fight its faced with. This might be a tough fight to finish!

What? it reflected fire and absorbed lighting? This was no ordinary shadow. So little was working. It seemed to glow a little and... Wait what was is it doing. That attack isn't that? The same attack the black girl used. Just what was this thing? copying attacks? A large flash of lightning went through Maria... It hurt so much. Maria fell on the ground... Shouting heavily barely able to stand anymore. "Please help!" Maria shouted while crushing her persona card again. Pixie attacked the car with another gust of wind in hope to finish it as fast as possible. If this fight took any longer it would be over soon. She hoped that other girl could take over healing if that was possible as another attack like this would be devastating.

"Okay...immune to lightning, immune to fire," Layla said. "And lightning is especially bad since it can copy attacks. If either of you have ice skills...don't use them." Given what she'd seen so far, Layla would only suspect the older woman of having ice. But either way, having something like that bounced back at her would only end badly. And the aura now surrounding it wasn't helping matters. It clearly wasn't just reflecting the attack, it was copying it. And stronger than what Layla had managed, at that.
"Hang on, I've got you," Layla called out to her, summoning Vajrabhairava again. The Terminator of Death held its skull cup high and poured the elixir within out onto the battlefield. It became a wave of healing energy as it hit the ground and washed over Layla and her two allies. It wouldn't be enough to heal off all the damage dealt, but it would hopefully keep any of them from falling before she could do it again.

Tristan was in awe. This shadow was already more impressive than the one at the school, just because of it's skills. It had copied the Indian girl's spell. However, it absorbed lightning, repelled fire, was weak to wind... This fight was gonna take a bit of time. Still, even with his strongest attack out Tristan could find new ways to cause harm. He knew light and darkness hurt the car, but he also had a slash spell. Sadly, it would be bad if the car was able to resist the spell. So he decided a normal attack would suffice.
Diving toward the car, Tristan slid a bit before slashing at the tires with his scythe. Here's to hoping I cause a blowout...
