Chapter 14

Frank closed the blue door, and wandered into the blue toned room.

"Kate... Please... Let nothing happen to you or Tellka while I am gone..." He thought to himself.

"I... I guess I do love her. These feelings I have... They can't be anything else. I mean, no one has EVER made me feel this way before..." Frank was broken out of his thoughts by a voice.

"Frank! Frank!!! Philemon has told me about you and your predicament..." The big nosed, old man said.

Frank shook his head, and looked around. There was the piano player at his usual place: playing the piano. The opera singer was also beside the piano, singing along to the music. Both were wearing masks.

Frank turned his attention to Igor.

"Sorry... Just thinking about something..." He replied sheepishly.

Igor smiled. "I know... Philemon told me about that too."

Frank blushed. "So... you know about me and Kate, huh?"

"Why, yes I do. I've also met her mom as well." Igor said to him.

"Heh... Is there ANYTHING you don't know, Igor?" Frank asked.

"A lot of things, child. About you, about Windia..." He started.

"Anyway, Frank. Your friends left you some things. Spell Cards, some food, and I think Chris left a weapon here for you."

Igor snapped his fingers and a chest appeared. Frank opened the chest and looked in.

There were two piles of Spell cards: One from Alex's party, and one from Yuki's party. There was also a paper bag labeled "Peace Diner." Frank opened it and found three cheeseburgers, and three orders of french fries.

"Heh. I guess Philemon told Alex that I was traveling with two people. I guess that Either Mark or Alex figured that we might be hungry." Frank then noticed that the meals were still hot, and that three bottles of water beside them were still very cold.

"Igor... Was Alex's party here recently???" Frank asked with hope.

"Why yes, they were. Ellen wants you to watch yourself, Alex said that he hopes for the best, Mary want's you to be careful, Mark told me to tell you to protect your friends, Nate said that he hope's you're Ok, and Chris..." Igor said quietly

"What about Chris..." Frank asked.

"Chris was his usual cold self. He just left that weapon here, saying that he hopes you or one of your friends can use it." He said quietly.

"Kate will be able to use it..." Frank thought.

He looked into the chest once more. He found a picture of him and his friends. On the back, it said this:

"Frank, take care. We don't want anything to happen to you. Watch yourself, and those who you care about."

It was signed by Alex, Nate, Mark, Ellen, Mary, Chris, Alana, Brad, Yuki, Tad, and Tammy,

A tear came to Frank's eye.

"They're still thinking about me... This proves it... They really are my friends..." Frank then put the picture into the chest pocket of his jacket.

Frank looked into the chest once more, and found a box. He opened the box, and saw a finely crafted pair of claws, that were designed to fit on the user's hand. He also found a small description of the weapons.

"Tiger claws... Infused with power to make the user quicker in battle." He read quietly. He looked at the weapon once more.

"Hmm... The top is tiger striped... and the color matches that of Kate's fur... And those claws look as sharp as Tellka's..." Frank said quietly. "Hey... no wonder Chris left them... They're too small for him!"

Frank examined the chest once more, and found it to be empty. He closed it, and it disappeared.

"Igor, can you tell me which of these will make a Justice Class Persona???"

Igor examined the cards carefully.

"Well this one, and this one will prove to be the best combination." He pulled a card from Alex's pile, and one from Yuki's. Frank then pocketed the rest to go with his one spell card.

"Thank you Igor. Mix this in as well..." Frank then gave him the Minature Meow Staff.

"As you wish Frank, now come with me." Igor led them to the back of the room.

He pulled out some sort of device, and Frank heard a tiny voice come from it. Then a spirit came from one Spell Card, and then a spirit came from the other. Then a jar materialized, and Igor threw in the Minature Meow Staff.

A tent then lowered over the spirits and the jar. Then there was a bright flash of light, and an extremely strong gust of wind. Frank held up his arms to shield his face from the wind. Then there was an even brighter flash of light, and the tent slowly lifted.

Under it, there was a large Persona Card, twirling. On the bottom, it said Justice, and it had the picture of a beautiful Woren female on it, holding her staff over her shoulders.

"This Persona is Justice:Chuan. Take good care of it. The Persona Card then faded, and went into storage with the other Persona's created by Alex and Yuki's parties.

Frank noticed the staff, now full sized. Igor nodded, and Frank moved to pick it up.

"Tellka can use this..." He thought to himself. He picked it up, and moved to follow Igor out.

"Would you like to equip your Ultimate Persona now???" Igor asked. Frank merely nodded.

Igor snapped his fingers, and he brought Justice:Chuan out of storage. He held the card to Frank, and whispered a few words. The card glowed, and then melded itself to Frank's soul.

"You now have your Ultimate Persona, which is unique to you. Come back here at anytime, if needed. Now be careful." Igor said to him.

Frank nodded, then turned to the door. "I'd better get back... Kate and Tellka might be in trouble, or they might be worried about me. God knows I'm worried about Kate..." Frank started.

Igor smiled. "All right, Frank. Be careful out there."

"Thanks. And the next time you see my friends, let them know that I'm Ok, and that I'm thinking of them as well." Frank said quietly.

Igor nodded, then watched the student leave the Velvet Room, with the things his friends left for him, as well as the Meow Staff.

Frank left and reappeared in the armory. He saw Kate lying down on the cot, and Tellka pacing.
