[You all get the feeling that the Outsider sees this person as a bit of a pushover, which is why he's so quick to bend to what you want. Hm.
But then, in an instant, the man is gone. It occurs when you blink, or if you glance away even for a second, but the man is replaced by...Ichigo? It looks like Ichigo, but not quite. He's smaller, younger-looking. Like he's 12 or something, except Ichigo will know this vision of himself isn't exactly what he looked like at 12.
He's crossing his arms and looking irritable.]
You know you won't get through to him, right? He's more stubborn than me.
[Akira recoils as soon as the spell is cast, because he recognizes that damn attack. but before he can think about it too much. . .?]
[a haze settles over his mind, soothing and comforting and warm and a bit confusing, but not in a bad way. he sucks in a deep breath and hunches his shoulders, hand pressed against his face as he tries to think through the fog. what was he doing again. . .? oh! that's right. this kid is in trouble, isn't he? and these three-- the redhead, the blue haired guy, and the girl in a mask-- were causing that trouble, right?]
[another breath and Akira snaps up right in one smooth motion, fire dancing around his cheeks as he summons Kohryu, a majestic white dragon, in all of his glory]
-- back off! Kohryu!!
[and a psychic blast of energy careens Ichigo's way. it's only a psy attack tho so it's fairly weak. . .]
That went... bad remarkably quickly. Minato recognizes the spell too, grimacing immediately--]
Heads up, Charm--!
[Welp.
Too late.
There goes Akira, launching an attack at Ichigo, but you know... Minato's played it safe for awhile here, but this sort of scenario isn't one where they can just play around. He doesn't have discharm anymore; he replaced it with Salvation awhile ago, but Salvation's been nerfed to just a Dia, so that's no use now--
So he has to hope Makoto can do something about the actual charm, because Minato's dealing with it by just kind of...launching himself at Akira to try to tackle him to the ground while he's distracted by Ichigo.
I want you guys to just go home, but you suck at listening.
[Oh look the smaller Ichigo has a Shinigami uniform on. And he's taking his sword out and swinging it at Makoto with a particularly strong slashing attack:]
What are you gonna do with that oversized chef knife, make him sushi?
[The attack hits him right in the chest, and he wheezes and falls over - but he's back up on his feet, staring at the Attack name and practically yelling out:]
OH COME ON!
[WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO HIM, INFRONT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE HE LIKES???]
[Akira is so distracted by trying to knock Ichigo down that Minato slams into him with the force of a football player, knocking him off balance and onto his back on the ground. one second later Makoto's energy shower washes over his prone form, and he lets out a pained groan as the haze lifts]
And then Minato's back up immediately. He reaches for his mask, yanking it away. They've been on the defensive too long, really; they need to do something in return.
So he's launching Thanatos (except, you know, 16-bit) tiny Ichigo's way, to try to catch that bladed strike that's aimed towards Makoto on his Persona's sword--
You know, so Makoto can get an attack of her own in, because pissed Makoto seems so much fiercer than anything he personally can bring to the table.]
[ur a pal, Minato, because Makoto is aggressive. And regardless of punching Ichigo before... this time she knows he's part of the dungeon. And she wants to make a point.
With Minato's help, Makoto takes the opportunity to launch herself at Ichino, her fist extended, aiming straight for his face again.]
[Two attacks against this boy kind of really suck, and he flinches and steps back a step as he tries to defend from them. Then it's his turn, and he goes back on the offensive. This time, though, he holds out his hand again:]
Of course you have Bullshit Light Powers.
[Mass paralysis attack.
...which apparently only hits Akira, but. Ok. Get stunned for one turn, pretty boy.]

[Ichigo mumbles that out, looking down and away - not liking what this cognition has to say.]
I can't leave this world. I've told him that, and he still won't listen.
no subject
If he won’t listen in the outside world, then give us a chance to make him listen in here.
no subject
[Surely, with how Makoto and Akira have said this works... They can help in so many ways this way.]
no subject
Trust us. We've done this before.

I won't get in your way then.

OKAY, WHAT.
Ichigo just stares at this....oddly younger looking version of him??? And just says only one thing.]
What the hell?
[That's not even how he looked when he was that young!!! what is this????]
no subject
[STARES AT "JACKIE." THEN ICHIGO. THEN "JACKIE." THEN BACK TO ICHIGO]
Uuuuuh. . .
I think all of us combined are plenty stubborn together. I basically said "fight me" to the Jorogumo and Barghest, after all.
no subject
[Ah...!! More to himself than anything:]
...He's cute and small.
[MINATO.]
no subject
He is.
But more importantly, we have four very different people here. I'm sure we'll find a way around that stubbornness.
no subject
Yeah, and that was pretty dumb, you know?
[And then he holds up his hand and casts a spell:]
Stop trying to befriend the goddamn enemy!
[Yep.
He's casting charm on Akira.
It's battle time.]

STARES IN HORROR AT ALL OF THIS.
Ichigo is stunned for one turn!]

REGARDLESS OF IF THAT WORKS THOUGH, she's going to whirl on the tiny Ichigo]
You want us to prove ourselves?!
[she sounds pissed. this is some of that natural Queen rage.]
After everything you've done, I'll gladly do it!

What's-- Minato?
[WHAT'S GOING ON]

[thinks Akira, who is in the process of pushing himself up when he gets hit by a stun. his body goes rigid, and he. . . falls back again. . .]
[WHAT A USELESS FUCKING LEADER]

[BECAUSE SHE'S GOING IN FOR ANOTHER PUNCH.
in general, light magic enemies don't tend to fear nuclear attacks.
for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]
no subject
He doesn't get cool dark-based skills like the P5 crew.
All he's got are insta-death dark skills.
BUT IT CAN'T HURT TO TRY...APPARENTLY...]
Got it--!
[Yanking off his mask, summoning Thanatos again, aaaaand...then he flings his dark skill at the tiny Ichigo. MUDO INCOMING.]
no subject
Ichigo is a shinigami.
A reaper.
Someone who guides the dead souls to the afterlife.
Try not to be surprised when that Mudo gets absorbed. Even little Ichigo looks unimpressed by it. (though the punch does hurt, you're rude Makoto.)]
Do you really need an expert to show you how it's done? I'm like the second-best reaper in this whole place!
Just some more bullshit death powers I guess.
[That is to say, Mamudo.]
