Adventuring Other-Worlds With The Adapting System 42 Morgana

"Help! Anyone there? Please help me! I'm locked in a cell."

Suddenly, Axel came to a halt and caused Akira and Ryuji to crash into his back. Akira straightened his gla.s.ses while Ryuji glared at Axel and said, "Hey! What's the big idea!?! Don't just suddenly stop!"

Axel just glanced towards Akira, ignoring the p.i.s.sed off Ryuji and asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah, I did. I think it's coming from the last cell."

Akira confidently walked to the last cell. Seeing him suddenly freeze, Axel shook his head before walking over with Ryuji in tow.

"Hey! Can you guys get me out? The switch is just over there!"

Inside the cell was a predominantly black cat with blue eyes and a white muzzle, paws and tail tip who wore a yellow collar. Unlike a normal cat though, this one had a more human look as it stood on two legs while a black bandana covered it's face.

Akira and Ryuji both stared at each other for a second before immediately snapping to Axel.

"What do you think this thing is?"

Axel promptly ignored the idiot duo and continued to stare at the cat . The cat seemed uncomfortable under his gaze and quietly said, "W-what? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Pointing towards the lever, Axel said, "All I have to do is pull that to open your cell right?"

Lights lit up in the cats eyes as he happily said, "Yeah!"

Before Axel could pull the switch, Ryuji suddenly asked, "Do you know they way out of here, monster cat?"

"Yup, I know how to leave this place. And I'm not a cat!"

A crafty look appeared on Akira's face as he showed a neutral expression and said, "Let's make a deal. You show us the way out and we'll let you out of the cage."

Morgana slowly mulled over Akira's words before nodding. Akira gave a small smile before pulling the lever that opens the cell door.

Before Morgana could enjoy his freedom, 5 walking suits of armour surrounded them. Axel's brows slightly frowned as he quietly thought, 'These guys feel different from the last groups…'

A violent burst of aura that was a mix of black and red exploded from the shadows as they changed into five floating pumpkins wearing a mates robe.

"Appraisal." Axel quietly muttered.

Just as Axel was about to charge, Morgana's voice echoed and he yelled, "Get back! You won't be able to harm them!"

A smiled appeared on Axel's face as he lightly said, "Just watch me."

Axel closed the gap between himself and the closest enemy. Pumping some mana into his arms, Axel clasped his hands together and fiercely struck the floating pumpkin from above, smas.h.i.+ng it's face into the ground.

With a small chuckle, Axel dusted his s.h.i.+rt off and said, "Hmmm... You were saying?"

Morgana didn't answer as his mouth had fallen to the ground. Everyone else, enemy or not, we're also stunned.

Suddenly, a flame burst from underneath Axel. Luckily, Axel managed to dodge with only minor scorches on his uniform.

Shaking his head, Morgana finally processed what happened before jumping infront of Axel and the boys. He gave a quick glance to Axel as he said, "I'll count on you for some a.s.sistance then. The other two, get behind me."

"What's a cat gonn" Before Ryuji could finish, a huge torrent of blue flames burs from Morgana as he smirked and screamed, "Come! Zorro!"

As the flames grew, they slowly took on the appearance of a man wearing a black suit and bandana. In his hands was a rapier. The next second, the rapier became a blur and before anyone realised, two of the Jack-o-lanterns collapsed to the ground before turning into black smoke.

Acting smug because he got to show off, Morgana didn't even see that one of the Jack-o-lanterns were launching a huge fireball directly at him. In a moment, Akira was already infront of Morgana as he stretched one hand towards the incoming attack.

With a confident smile, Akira slowly muttered, "Come… a.r.s.ene…" In a flash of blue flames, the dark angel from before appeared. Right before the fireball made contact, a.r.s.ene reached out and crushed it into it's palm.

Morgana was stunned as he yelled, "You're a persona user too!?!"

Akira didn't even reply as he lightly said, "Go."

a.r.s.ene spread his wings and took off. It smashed it's claw-like down, leaving a nasty scar on the face of one of the Jack-o-lanterns. Then it grabbed the scarred pumpkin and smashed it's head into the ground until it became smoke.

Seeing only two pumpkins left, Morgana looked towards Akira and Axel and excitedly yelled, "Hey rookies! You ready to end this with a bang?"

Akira just grinned while Axel cracked his knuckles and said, "Ready when you guys are."

As Morgana lept forward, Axel and Akira quickly followed behind. The trio laid a flurry of attacks on the last two pumpkins. A couple seconds had pa.s.sed before everyone stopped attacking. Akira slowly walked away before straightening his gloves with a wide smirk. As if that was a trigger, all the wounds on the pumpkins all burst at once, ejecting some sort of black liquid before collapsing into smoke.

Axel had to physically resist the urge to smack that smirk off Akira's face as he sighed, releasing the tension that built up from battle. Morgana quickly dashed to Akira as he yelled, "Where did you learn to fight?"

Axel merely said, "My girlfriend taught me."

Both Akira and Ryuji twitched as the same thought appeared in their minds, 'He has a girlfriend!?!' Both Akira and Ryuji wanted to complain that he's just leading the other girls on but decided against it as they could tell that Axel was surprisingly dense and that it's impossible for him to lead them on.

Both guys silently prayed for the girls before following behind Morgana, who became slightly dejected when he saw no one was listening to him explaining about why he's here.

Along the way, Morgana explained about where they are.

A palace. A dimension born from a person's twisted desires. Morgana began to explain that their desire twists this reality into how they view it. Ryuji seemed to click as the king(Kamos.h.i.+da) viewed the school as his own personal castle for him to rule.

Along the way, they found a group of students. They all wore the Shujin volleyball uniform and were being subjected to extremely cruel punishment. Axel frowned as he found the torture even more extreme than it was in the anime. There were even causalities falling to the floor, b.l.o.o.d.y and wounded.

However, after a small amount of time, the students slowly stood back up and continued with there training like nothing happened.

Ryuji became enraged as he glared at the volleyball team and yelled, "The h.e.l.l!?! What's with this torture chamber!!! I know Kamos.h.i.+da is a tyrant who only cares about his standing but this trumps anything I thought he was capable of!!!"

"I think your mistaken, Ryuji."

Suddenly, all eyes became focused on Axel. Slowly, he gazed at the students and said, "Look at their faces…"

Everyone turned towards the students with confusion in their eyes. However, the moment they saw the students expression, all the questions they had disappeared.

Each and every student had a fire in their eyes while a small smile was on their face, as if they were mocking the grueling training.
