September 7th was nothing out of the ordinary. A day after the celebration of the Visitors, the town was back to its normal activities. No skirmishes, appearance of the Anoli or demon backlash as the citizens had feared. Breathing a sigh of relief, they had all gone back to concentrating on their efforts at making the life here easier.

But once 13th hour hit, an overly large reddish button suddenly lit up the office of Swords in town hall.

"Shit! The hell is that?" The chief of staff that night nearly dropped his cigarette from his mouth in surprise. "Since when do we have that alarm?"

"Strong energy coming from the Arena in Aries Ward! Switching to visual...we have contact! It's a big one, sir!" No time for jokes anymore. The chief was all business.

"Intel, what do you have for me?"

"I'm performing a scan as we speak, sir. From what I can see with my Persona, this thing's brand new! With the energy signature, I strongly believe it could be a new Astrology Related beast. As we are in the Virgo-influenced sphere right now, this would make sense. Currently we are dealing with nothing but a huge mass of black energy...but it's definitely strong enough to put any of us out of commission if it's attacked in the wrong fashion. And the energy is building up as we speak..."

"Damn. Good thing that the construction workers have a curfew, otherwise we'd be looking at a hell lot more of a mess. No one's affected either like the other times. Looks like our research might be paying off. If we can get that damn thing before it does anything. Get me in contact with Suou and the Mayor ASAP."

"Sir, should we send off our teams to intercept?"

"No. At least, not at first. Get the Visitors to deal with 'im, see what it's capable of doing before we send our own boys in. Get in contact with Q..."

"Already contacted us, sir. I'm talking with him right now. He detected the mass on his own as well." The chief let out an annoyed grunt, like a man who hadn't expected that, but was obviously very annoyed that it was happening. Yet he had to remain proper.

"...fine. Let him set up the whole brohaha. The Visitors need the exercise. Besides that's what they're here for anyway. We'll load up the cargo while they distract him. Those things need a test run, right?"

A short while later, a mere four visitors receive a call from Q.

"I do hope you weren't just dallying around tonight, there's work to be done!"

Quite to the point, this man.

"I've been discussing this with the Office of Swords. There's a monster growing in the Arena in Aries Ward. You all just happen to be close enough to be able to do the job. We need to make this as quick and efficient as possible. Our guess is that it may be the birth of the Virgo monster, as it matches the energy signatures of the previous three beasts. If we can nip it at the bud, we may be able to avoid a situation like the previous three completely! Do you understand how vital this task is?"

It sounded like something that could be very beneficial to everyone. Especially property.

"The sooner we deal with this, the faster we can concentrate on other important things for the city's survival. And without it time to grow, no rumors can take root. So do get there in any way you can, and attack that thing with all you've got! Oh, and do try to keep the Arena intact, it's still in reparation and nearing completion. It would be a shame to start over again. Go on! I will be providing backup as much as I can."

Wow, he was certainly pushy too. But he was right; if they could defeat this Virgo monster right here, right now, that meant it would be a simple blip in the city, and a very efficient one at that. Not having to worry about a monster causing issues for a city was certainly a boon as well...and with the moon nearly new, the monster would not be too much of a challenge for Visitors with Persona Powers...

....probably. Who knew what it had in store for them

Better get there as fast as possible.
