Kyle went into the supermarket again. He should probably stop these late night snack runs to the place but hey, no harm, right? He was patrolling the neighborhood, kinda, so he kind of deserved a snack. He always paid, anyway.

He hummed a song while walking through the isles and wishing electronics could still work during Dark Hour. He really could use some music now and then and he had already decided upon some songs that would make a sick fighting theme of sorts.

He wandered to the snacks isle and grabbed a cylinder of Pringles (Prawn flavor, apparently) and popped it open right there and then. He shook a few chips out and started to eat 'em, wandering down towards the drinks section.

[Yumina Makino]

Yumina entered the now familiar store with one goal in mind. She needed revenge after the last battle that happened here. Sure, it wouldn't be the same enemy, but as long as she actually killed something this time it didn't matter. Bring on the worst of the worst, supermarket!

. . . Okay, don't actually summon the strongest enemy here. It was a joke. By now Yumina knew that tempting fate was just asking for unnecessary trouble. She didn't come here for a challenge. Not this time. She needed to vent after literally getting her ass kicked a few days ago.

Searching the aisles for a food-based opponent eventually lead her to some tall guy humming to himself. Once she noticed the can he held in one hand, her mood immediately soured. This guy just wanted to steal some food. Okay, that's not really cool. She approached the dude and felt the need to say something.

"Did you really--" she started talking before fully thinking about what she was about to do. She may not approve, but it honestly wasn't any of her business to care about what he did with his life. Maybe if she was a cop, or some kind of defender of justice, but no. There's no point in arguing about it. Just leave the creepy guy to be a jerk on his own.

 "It's nothing. Forget I said anything."

They didn't have to wait very long before the first Shadow interrupted their. . . Wait a minute. This monster was just like the one that beat her up during the last trip to the supermarket. Oh man, not this again. Tonight was supposed to be a cakewalk, not a repeat of a few days ago. Yumina groaned before getting ready to fight. "It just had to be this one, huh?"

Despite her complaining, this would be the best time for revenge. Punish the current giant to make up for almost losing to the last one. If only her Persona had learned an actual attack between then and now. Since they hadn't really improved, would the battle be any different this time?

Whatever, there would be time to complain later. Right now the giant Shadow was getting closer. Yumina summoned Oberon in time to weaken the opponent before he managed to do anything. Shadow dude spun around and slashed at her, but her armour absorbed most of the blow. Compared to last time, this was nothing. She got in a few hits before his next swing, which didn't even face the right direction. Time to take advantage of that opening.

The effects of Devitalize started to wear off, and the monster let out a loud yell. He swung his multiple arms down, cracking parts of the ground. Not yet satisfied, the guy swatted Yumina around before knocking her back. She slid across the floor until she eventually fell down.

If she kept going, she could probably win without any assistance. Then again, the last time she thought like that also involved limping home in pain. Having someone else take care of the rest sounded like a better idea. Tonight wasn't even supposed to be a challenge.

Yumina stood back up and turned toward that guy with the axe before talking. Not that it mattered, since they were the only ones nearby. "Alright, you'll have to take it from here. Or run." She brought out Oberon once more to weaken the enemy one more time. This should make either option easier for them.

Kyle stared at the girl for a moment, who seemed apprehensive. "What?" he blurted, chewing. "I'm gonna leave money for it," he said with a shrug and reached for a beer... when the Shadow showed up. "Tch! Every fuckin' time!" he grunted and carelessly left the open Pringles can on the shelf. "Can't a guy get a drink around here without you suckers attacking?!"

He watched the girl start the fight and held back a smirk. A little unrefined but had potential. "Yeah, don't worry, I've got this fat bastard."

He stepped forward, hefting his axe carefully, with Sitri at his heels. He waited for the stupid thing to flail its arms and cast a blast of fire at him. It hurt more than he liked but he still charged forward at it, swinging his axe at its head. It hit with a loud crack and knocked the damned thing backwards.

"Sitri!" he snapped and the leopard surged forward, swinging its paw up and bringing it down in a powerful slashing motion, rocking the giant backwards yet again.

The giant recovered and swung its arms at him, creating an identical slashing motion that made Kyle stumble backwards. "Oh you little fuck," he grumbled.

He attacked once again, swinging his axe furiously at his opponent with grit teeth. The attacks had an effect and after getting hit by another fire blast, Kyle succeeded in finishing off his opponent with some more chops.

All in all, not too bad. He was a little singed, but not enough to deter him from grabbing the beer bottle he wanted, his Pringles and a can of soda for later and leaving the exact amount of money at the latter item's shelf.
