[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.]
That is it!! I'm tired of this shit! If you want to play at being me, then match this!
[From the tip of his horn, a glowing red energy ball begins to form. you can feel it's energy crackling away, but it looks like He'll need a turn to prepare it, and it also requires a lot of concentration.]
[and as that Mamudo is cast, Akira feels his muscles finally loosen, which allows him to roll out of the way as the assault whizzes past him. he's back on his feet within seconds, rolling his shoulders back, eyes blazing at being taken out of commission for THREE TURNS IN A ROW, you ass!!]
Who even are you?! At least give us a name! Satanael!
[and Satanael makes another appearance, this time launching a Cosmic Flare (read: Frei, which is a mini nuclear-based magic attack) assault at tiny Ichigo. mostly to distract him to give big Ichigo time to charge]
[Sure, they can do distractions. Minato doesn't even bother to dodge, Thanatos having a natural affinity to dark; the spell's absorbed easily even with his Persona's nerfing, and then he reaches for his mask again.]
Messiah!
[His Megidolaon is... really just a tiny megido, but hey, a blast of almighty energy might help keep tiny Ichigo in place a little while longer as well.]
[Honestly the ray of death might not be needed, bitty Ichigo is getting worn out. He looks close to falling, though he does have time to cast one last spell before getting beat:]
[Too bad, the ray of death is here - and the 'really fucking gay' line just seems to add a layer of rage to it all.
The ball has turned from a tiny red crackle to a massive one, thrumming with power and energy, and to the personas, it'll feel like one hell of an Almighty spell. Raising Zangetsu to the ball, the energy is sucked into the blade, crackling with power as he leaps forward for once during the entire fight, roaring out-]
Gran Rey Cero!
[It's loosened, and the spot where the small Ichigo was errupts in a wide dome of red energy, cracking the walls and sending a massive wave of wind towards the party's way. Ichigo himself disappears into the red, and for a moment, the world is nothing but light and heat and sound.
And then, it fades.
The smaller Ichigo is gone now, and the Ichigo they all know is still there - standing upright, looking as if he didn't even break a sweat. Placing his swords back on his back, he scoffs -]
[it's an attack on par with what his and Minato's Armageddon could have done if their powers weren't nerfed, but. . . Akira barely has time to admire it before the kickback sends him flying through the air and crashing into the nearest wall. the impact is enough to knock the air straight out of him and he slumps onto the ground seconds later, coughing a little as he tries to breathe]
[Minato doesn't even get to appreciate the cheesy one-liner, because then he's also sent tumbling by the recoil of that attack.
(He misses normal Messiah :( )
He's luckier than Akira--he isn't flung directly into a wall, instead tumbling until he's just casually sitting on his ass, slowly standing as he brushes himself off.
And, blandly:]
Ah, wow... I wonder why we wasted so much time, now...
He's not turning around. He's just going to stand here, looking cool, while sweating a shitton, because, wow! He just made himself look like a gigantic lame moron to people he wanted to impress! He even thought up that stupid one liner and everything!Holy shit, he's such an idiot!
Maybe he should just crawl in the cracks he just made, curl in a ball, and double die! Or maybe, just maybe, another stronger shadow will come here and just. Eat him the fuck up. Right here, right now. Do it already.
But nothing happens.
And Ichigo feels the weight of his lameness crawling on his back.
[....How is he supposed to respond to this? He just. Stays still as Minato puts his hand on his shoulder, but he actually whips his head around and...blushes a little? When Makoto says it was cool.]
A-Ah, well....I mean, I...probably should've done it earlier, but - I didn't know he thought about me like that, and....
[JUST
trails off
and looks at his fucking feet.]
....Sorry. I'll, uh - start out with that if we run into anything else that strong.
[IS NOBODY THROWING HIM A BONE HERE. he exhales sharply, because in all honesty he is pretty sure Makoto is just ribbing him and won't actually yank him out of bed at 6 a.m.]
[. . . probably]
"Cool" is one word for it, but I'd use "awesome." I'm actually a little jealous.
[he says lightly, teasingly, as adjusts his gloves and approaches the other three, carefully inspecting them for injuries]

[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.]

She gets it, Minato, even if she's kind of impressed.
She just reaches up and pats his shoulder.]
I know. I think one more punch would have done it anyway.
[a glance at Akira]
Joker, we're going to have to start a training regiment again for you. Maybe tomorrow, first thing in the morning.

Oh god.
He heard that, and now-
He's not turning around. He's just going to stand here, looking cool, while sweating a shitton, because, wow! He just made himself look like a gigantic lame moron to people he wanted to impress! He even thought up that stupid one liner and everything!Holy shit, he's such an idiot!

Aaaare you okay there, buddy?
no subject
Minato's definitely not getting in between Makoto and Akira there, he has more self-preservation than that (and Akira takes it in stride anyway).
Instead, he moves over to Ichigo, and inspects him, and clasps him solemnly on the shoulder.]
Live strong.
[SHUT UP MINATO.]
