Author's note: I will be doing any dream sequences that Frank may have in first person format and in italics. Why? Because it is somewhat easier to do that way. However, when Frank is in Windia, the story will resume in a third person format.

"Frank...."

"Who's there???" I asked in a somewhat confused tone.

I looked around. Suddenly, I saw the same Woren who is my Ultimate Persona.

She smiled. "I am here, Frank. I'm..."

I cut her off. "I know. You're Katt Chuan. Philemon told me that you were part of the Second Destined Cycle... Whatever that may be." I replied honestly.

Katt sighed. "It's hard to explain, actually. In fact... you're part of your own destined cycle."

My eyes shot up in surprise. "What..."

"It started in that city you live in... Lunarvale... I think... Anyway. That's why I chose you. You see. A part of you represents what I was like when I was alive." That's when she smiled the sweetest smile that I had ever seen... Except for Kate's.

"Oh? In what way do I represent you?" I asked quizically.

"Well, for starters, you are very protective. Like I was. And you also determine what is right, and what is wrong. And finally, you admit to whoever... Nevermind that last one. That's something that I never did. But it didn't matter. He was in love with Nina." She explained quietly.

"Who was in love with this Nina..." I asked in response.

"Ryu... Ryu Bateson... He was in love with my best friend, Nina Windia. Eventually, they married after our quest was over." She said with a tone of exhaustion.

I moved closer to her, and finally, I put an arm around her to comfort her. She just looked up at me.

"You see, Frank... I am a part of you now. I believe in you and your abilities. And I truly can believe that you can help that girl you are in love with. She reminds me of when I was her age... Except that I liked to fight." Katt then grinned, and I got a glimpse of her fangs.

"Do what you can Frank. I will be a friend for you, in thick or thin. So get used to it. I guess you can say that I'll be speaking to you when you need it." She explained.

I smiled at her. How could I not? I mean... Well... I don't know what I mean. I just had to smile at her.

"Now go back to Windia, Frank. I will be helping you on your journey. You have rested enough. Take care." She said as she left.

I only nodded. She stopped and turned back to me.

"I can tell why Kate likes you. You are kinda cute. I wouldn't mind going after you myself if I was alive..."

My jaw dropped. I just couldn't believe what she had just said. She gave me that grin again and left. That's when...

"Frank..."

Frank's eyes slowly opened, but he could barely see. He started to panic, but Kate kept him from doing so.

"Here. You forgot to take off your glasses before you went to sleep. So I..." Kate then slipped the glasses onto Frank's face.

Frank looked up and saw Kate. "Thanks... I would die if I broke them."

Kate smiled, then moved to let Frank get up. Frank sat up and stretched. He then grabbed his shoes, slipped them on, and tied them. He then grabbed his jacket, slipped it on, and buttoned it up.

"Here. I found this. It fell out of your jacket, and Tellka and I decided to look at it while you were asleep." Kate then handed the photo of him and his friends to him.

"Are those your friends?" Tellka asked him.

"Yeah. They left me the picture, and all of them signed it."

"We noticed. I guess they are worried about you." Kate said quietly.

"Yep. And I'm worried about them as well." Frank said

"Well... then... Frank. Are you feeling better?" Tellka asked him.

"Yeah, I am Tellka. That nap did me wonders. How long was I out this time?"

"About an hour. Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" Tellka told him curiously.

"I do??? What did I say?" Frank asked curiously.

"Nothing important. So, are you ready?" Tellka asked him as he attached his rapier to his belt.

"Almost. Give me a second." Frank said. He then reached inside his jacket, and pulled out some shotgun shells. Kate watched him curiously as he loaded some shells into the bottom of his shotgun.

Frank then walked over to Kate. "Here... Let me help you put those on." he said as me motioned to the set of claws.

"Ok, Frank." Kate said. Frank then picked up one of the claws, and helped Kate slip her hand into it gently. He then adjusted the glove part so that it wouldn't slip off of her hand. Frank then did the same thing with the other glove, careful not to mess up the ring he had given her.

"Okay. Let's get this done quickly. I want to get Kate home safely." Frank said as he turned to look at both of them. Tellka nodded, and Kate just smiled. Frank looked at Kate and smiled back.

"You're the leader, Frank. What are we going to do?" Tellka asked.

Frank noticed that Kate took a look Tellka, before nodding and turning her attention back to him.

Frank slung the shotgun on his back, and looked at his party intently. Tellka was twirlling the Meow Staff lightly, while Kate looked a little scared.

"Ok. Here's what we do. If we get into any fights, all of us will be careful. Kate..." Kate looked at Frank when she heard her name.

"I want you in the center of our battle form, since you have the least amount of range. I'll flank off to your left, and Tellka, I want you to flank off to her right. All of us should stay in the front row, unless we become seriously injured. Ok?" Frank said in a leaderlike tone.

"Got it, commander." Tellka said before snickering.

"We've got it, Frank." Kate said before poking Tellka in the side with one of her fingers.

Frank nodded, then approached Kate. "Be careful. We know that you have trouble trying to fight. So we'll protect you." Frank then gave Kate a quick kiss on the cheek, and she started to blush.

"All right. I'll watch myself." She said before poking him on the nose.

"All right you two lovebirds, let's get this show on the road!" Tellka said impatiently.

Frank and and Kate turned and glared at Tellka.

"Right. First, let me change my Persona. I need to charge the new one up..."

Frank raised his hand and said, "Persona change... CHUAN!!!!!" Three images of Frank split from him and circled his body before one settled on him with the other two in tow.

Tellka and Kate were in shock.

"Did you just say... Chuan... as in Katt Chuan?" Tellka asked in shock.

Frank nodded. Kate then spoke up.

"We suspected that it might be... but..." Kate then shook her head.

"Okay then. Are you ready?" Frank asked. Kate and Tellka looked at each other once again, before turning to Frank and nodding.

"Okay, then. Let's be careful." Frank then opened the door, and walked out with Kate behind him, and Tellka behind her.
