Redwing stopped playing his violin and and began to laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha.... So you three made it this far... I'm impressed..." Redwing said with an icy tone. As he was talking, Frank sheathed his rapier, and unslung his shotgun. Tellka clutched her staff and glared at Redwing, while Kate just looked around in horror.

"But no one... NO ONE messes with my plans!" He said as he turned to look at Frank, Kate and Tellka.

"Oh god... his eyes... They're glowing again..." Frank said as he glanced at both Kate and Tellka. Kate just looked at him in horror, while Tellka growled.

"Heh heh heh... I know about you three... Frank Maynard... The boy who stuck his curious little nose in my plans... You will die here. I can guarantee that." As he said this, Frank's eyes narrowed, and he got into a fighting stance.

"Kate Harlow... Or should I say, Kate Chan? Hmm? You will die as well. I will kill you, just like I killed your precious mother." Redwing said as he flashed her a sinister grin. Kate said nothing, but also got into a fighting stance, which surprised both Frank and Tellka.

"Kate?" Tellka said quietly.

"Are you Ok?" Frank asked.

Kate turned her head to look at Frank. "I'll be fine. No one talks about by mother like that..." Kate said as she trembled slightly.

"And finally you, Tellka. A certain demon told me about you. One from your extensive past, I must say. It will end here. So that you will no longer interfere." Tellka growled loudly, and cluched her staff. Frank looked at Tellka, as did Kate.

"Tellka?" Frank and Kate said together.

"I'll explain if I've got time. We've got more important things to worry about now." Tellka said without removing her gaze from Redwing.

"Enough of this. It's time for you three to die. I'll make sure to kill Kate in front of you and Tellka, Frank." Redwing said as he chuckled and extended his bright red wings. Kate's eyes went wide in horror.

"You're killing no one, you sadistic freak. In fact, you're the one who is going to die!" Frank said bravely.

"So brave, for such a little pest. I shall show you my true form, and then we shall see who wins!" Redwing said. As he was talking, he began to glow, and his voice changed from that of a normal person to a raspy, deep voice.

"Oh crap... FORM UP!!!" Frank yelled. As he said this, Kate and Tellka immediately understood and got into their battle formation.

Redwing finished transforming, and was now a blood red, bird demon. The problem was, that he was as big as Frank and Tellka combined, and was ready to kill. He took to the air, hovered for a little bit, then dove at Kate.

"Oh no you don't!" Frank muttered as he trained his shotgun on Redwing. He pulled the trigger, and unloaded a flurry of silver pellets into Redwing, who shrieked in pain and hit the ground. Frank quickly pumped his shotgun and looked at Kate, who looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as Redwing hit the ground, Tellka rushed forward to smash him with her staff. When Redwing began to rise, Tellka got back into battle formation.

Redwing shrieked, and flew back into the air. This time, he dove at Tellka, but was again picked out of the air by Frank. He got up quickly this time, after Frank pumped his gun. He took to the air, and dove at Frank. Frank brought his shotgun to his hip and pulled the trigger, but...

CLICK

Kate and Tellka looked at Frank in fear.

"Oh no... I forgot to reload!" Frank was about to fumble around for his ammo, but was hit hard by Redwing. He screamed as he flew through the air, Frank in one direction, and the shotgun landing in front of Kate and Tellka.

"FRANK!!!" Kate screamed in desperation.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Frank screamed as he hit the wall... hard. He looked up, and saw Redwing backing Kate and Tellka into a corner. He also noticed that Kate had taken his gun and slung it on her back, as she backed up in fear.

"I'm... I'm sorry... Kate..." Frank said weakly as he blacked out.

***********************************************

I looked around. The last thing that I remembered was slamming into that wall. Am I dead? God, I hope not.

I heard foot steps. I turned, and saw Katt, Nina Winlan, and a man with short blue hair. I knew Nina and Katt, but who was this other man?

"You took a beating, Frank." Katt said as she approached me.

"Where am I?" I asked them. Nina spoke up.

"You're inside of your soul, Frank. Right now, you're lying unconscious in the colliseum."

"I'm not dead, am I?" I asked hopefully.

The blue haired man smiled. "No, you are alive. But you are in no shape to call on us. Doing so in your current condition may kill you." He explained to me.

"Okay... But who are ya?" I asked.

"My name is Ryu. I was the hero from the third generation of the Destined. I am the Prince of the Brood." He said to me.

Wait... PRINCE???? That must mean... He's Emperor:Dragon???

"Don't look surprised, Frank. I am your main Persona. I chose you because you are a born leader. It's obvious that you care about others more than yourself." He explained.

"Kate... I've gotta go back! She's in trouble." I said quickly. Katt smiled at me.

"Okay, Frank. Well let ya go. Just let Nina heal you slightly while you're here. Then you'll be able to wake up." She explained. Nina walked up to me just then.

"Cura..." She said, and I was healed a little.

"Good luck!" Ryu said to me. I smiled, then walked off. That was the last thing...

**************************************************

"Uhh...." Frank groaned as he woke up.

"Ow... I hurt... I can't use my Personas..." He said to himself.

He got to his knees, an saw Kate and Tellka trapped. Tellka was mostly defending, but she smacked him a couple of times. Kate was also landing blows when she could.

Frank slowly unsheathed his rapier, so that he wouldn't make any noise. He slowly advanced on Redwing, and also went unnoticed by Kate and Tellka.

Frank raised his rapier, then yelled.

"DIE!!!!" Frank yelled as he brought his rapier down on Redwing, who cried in pain. Redwing slowly turned to face Frank.

"You're supposed to be dead!" Redwing yelled at him. Frank answered by bringing his rapier down on him once again. Redwing was about to peck at Frank, but Tellka and Kate stopped him by striking the back of his head.

"I've had it with you! Trying to kill us, for killing Kate's mom, AND for trying to kill the girl that I love! You... deserve... to... DIE! For all the people you've made suffer!" Frank made each point clear with a swing of his rapier. By the time Frank was finished, Redwing was weak. But... So was Frank. He went to one knee.

"Heh heh... Humans... Always weak... Now I shall... finish you..." Redwing was about to strike down on Frank, and was assaulted by a barrage of blows from Tellka, which finally did him in.

Redwing lay on the floor in a crumpled heap. "No... How... Could I lose... I... had it all... money... power... Why?" He said quietly.

Frank said nothing. But was asked one more question.

"Why... did you fight?" Redwing asked weakly.

"For everyone. My friends... and those you killed." Frank answered as the last bit of life faded from Redwing.

"Is... that true?" Kate asked him.

"Hmm?" Frank replied.

"You fought for everyone... Like you told him." Kate asked curiously.

"Right. I did it for you two... and your mom, Kate." Frank said to her.

"Kate was right, Frank... There aren't alot of people like you." Tellka said as she twirled her staff.

"Are you both OK?" Frank asked.

"We're fine. We didn't get injured." Kate told Frank.

Redwing's body then began to melt, then disappear. A flash of light occured, then the room seemed to be a little bit brighter.

"The demons are gone now. We can leave without getting attacked." Frank explained.

"Frank?" Kate asked quietly.

Frank gave Kate a tired look.

"Did... you mean what you said... when you were fighting him? You... love... me?" Kate asked quietly.

"I do, Kate. I truly do." He replied. Kate was quiet, and thinking.

Frank smiled. "C'mon. I'll take you home, Kate." Frank reached out and put an arm around her. Both of them were leaning on each other for support.

They walked out of the room together, with Tellka behind them. Frank heard Tellka say this, but did not respond.

"He is strong... I wonder if he can..." That's where Frank stopped listening, and concentrated on getting out.
