Chapter 11 by transplanter transplanter

What's next?

A group of Shadows surrounding her - It was the Dark Hour!!!

(chapter originally by Phantom Pen at writing.com)

The first thing Minako's eyes beheld was a blue mask against complete darkness. While the average person might be confused at such a sight, Minako instead panicked as she realized she was face-to-face with a Shadow! Worse yet, as the rest of her body came awake, she realized that the prodding she was feeling all across her body was cold and ghostly, the feeling of the semi-corporeal bodies of Shadows! She was surrounded by Shadows, and they were callously touching all over her body!

"No no no!" Minako shrieked, scrambling to her feet as she tried to get past the Shadows surrounding her. The dark creatures weren't going to let their prey escape so easily, however, as several of them reached out and grasped at her naked body. Thankfully for Minako, her experience with fighting Shadows had made her accustomed to their tactics and she was no stranger to eluding their holds. Of course, she was normally fully clothed and had a team of her friends there to help her, to make no mention of her Evoker and the myriad Personas at her disposal. As it was, Minako was naked and completely unequipped to deal with these monsters.

All Minako could hope to do was elude the Shadows until the Dark Hour passed, returning the world to normal and taking the Shadows with it. Of course, that would mean all the normal citizens out and about would revert from their coffins back into their normal forms. Depending on where Minako was when this happened, that could be incredibly inconvenient. Still, anything was better than being left at the mercy of the Shadows!

Managing to get away from the Shrine, Minako quickly looked around in an attempt to take stock of the situation. Shadows normally didn't stray far from Tartarus, but tonight seemed to be a different story. While they weren't as prevalent as they were in the tower, the streets were absolutely filled with Shadows tonight! Being the only non-Shadow in the area that was still awake, Minako found herself the center of attention for the nefarious creatures. Just about every path available had Shadows to contend with, and Minako had no idea how far into the Dark Hour she was. Was she merely a few minutes away from a return to the real world, or had the Dark Hour just begun? How long would Minako have to run? Could she evade the Shadows for the remainder of the Dark Hour?

After running for what felt like an eternity, Minako was in the middle of a street littered with several dozen coffins, the questions were finally answered.
