                                            The Shdaows: Part 4

    The group ran, each with a fencing sword in hand except for Chris.
They turned corner after corner. Nate was the first to question Chris,
"What did you see in the garden?"
    Chris turned his attention away from Nate and sighed. "I saw
Philemon there."
    Mark gave Chris a dark glance. "Philemon. He's just a bozo in a
crappy buisness suit."
    Nate shook the sword at Mark. "Idiot! Phielemon gave us the power of
Persona for one thing. Second of all he lives in a world between
counscience and uncounscience. And your telling me he's a bozo?"
    Mark smiled, "Yes."
    Chris sighed. "Stop bickering you guy's! You never stop for very
long. If you don't you won't live long enough to argue again."
    That seemed to shut them up. Within a couple minutes of silence they
reached the door to the garden in the middle of  the square shaped
school. They opened the door too see...
    There was a small path up to the center of the garden and around the
object in the middle. All the rest of the square area was covered with
grass and flowers. Mark looked up at the moon and sighed He then looked
at the object in the center of the garden. It was a pure black crystal
thal went upwards in a rectangular prism shape. Then the top went in to
form a point. It was about ten feet tall. There was nothing there that
was not there before. "What's going on Chris?"
    Chris gave Mark a glance of wonder. "Philemon was here. We could
contact him?"
    Nate looked at the sign by the crystal. "He lives between worlds.
Anyways he's not the person who you find.... He find's you. Besides
that, Chris go read what's on the sign out loud."
    Chris nodded and walked over to the sign. Everyone else was
stationary except Chris. "An unidentified stone rumoured to nhave been
dropped here by an angel named Philemon to protect this city."
    Yuki looked at Chirs. "No way."
    Then Mark. "You gotta be kidding."
    Then Mary. "What's with that?"
    And then Chirs. "How long have you known this, Nate?"
    Nate fixed his glaces in the right position. "Quite a while
actually. But it never seemed important."
    Mark pointed his fencing sword at Nate. "You moron! Why didn't you
tell us this before?"
    Nate gave Mark an angry glare. "I......"
    He never finished before something weird happened. The crystal
shattered into a million pieces. The group sheltered their faces as the
shards went flying. After the dust settled and the pieces of the crystal
stopped flying Mark looked at Chris. "What the hell."
    Nate never glanced at Mark. "Philemon..." He dragged off.
    There was Philemon there on the floor as though he came out of the
crystal. He was on one knee coughing. He white pants were all wrinkled
and white buisness shirt wass torn. His tie was in perfect condition
though and he still had his mask on. Though one thing was different
about his mask. Before, one side was black the other white. But now it
was all white.
    Mary moved towards Philemon. "What are you doing here?"
    Philemon coughed then stood up. He wiped the wrinkles out of his
suit and and sighed. "Guido has cast me out of the world between
counscience and uncouscience."
    Nate rubed the hilt of the fencing sword with his thumb and then
looked at Mark. Mark had put away his sword. "How did he do that?"
    Philemon shook his head. "I don't know. He not only cast me out but
destroyed the world completly."
    Nate shook his head and sighed. "It would take a machine more
powerful then the Deva system to do that."
    Mark lowered his angry gaze. "So the bastard's still alive."
    Chris frowned. "I'll kill him this time."
    Philemon sighed. "I know but there's something I have to tell you.
Guido is creating the ultimate Persona. He is using this town somehow to
do it."
    Mary waved her fencing sword in the air. "He's a dead man. He thinks
he can use us all. But we'll show him." They all nodded.
    Philemon looked at Mary and then passed his gaze to everyone else.
"You will find what you seek outside. As for me, I have to go."
    Mark shook his head. "No you don't have to go. Come with us."
    Philemon shook his head. "Ney, I have my own path to follow. Anyways
you now have the power of Persona agian." Philemon raised his hand in
the air and light swirled around him. They caught  faint whisper.
"Farewell."
    Mark hit the ground with his fencing sword. "Why did that idiot have
to go?"
    Nate sighed and turned his eyes to Mark. "He has his own path to
follow. We should respect his desicion and go stop Guido."
    Mark decided not to raise an arguement. So they all agreed to go
after Guido now. The ran out of the garden and through the halls of the
school. Soon they opened the door to see whats outside.
    The city was in a pure blackness, a bleakness beyond description.
Thunder and lighting struck buildings. Flames raged across the city but
one area remained unharmed. In the center of the city was a tower. It
went up thousands of feet past the clouds itself. ANd the desterbing
tower loomed. It looked as though it was made out of all human skull's.
On the top of the tower just at the end of their eyesight they saw a
large spherical room, about the size of two or three classrooms. The
base of the tower was as large as a classroom.
    The group of teenagers looked upon the tower with fear. But revenge
burned in their hearts and they left for the tower.

                                                            The End
