"Stop... starin' at him," Kanji says lowly.
"How can I?" I frown. "How am I supposed to just stand back and let this spoilt idol take him away?"
"No, I mean, stop focusing on him," he mutters. "We gotta save this chick."
"I- I know..."
"Get your ass into gear, Senpai."
"You're really mature for your age, you know that, Kanji?"
"Wasn't what you were saying the other day," he hums.
I shake my head. "I'm sorry. I was just frustrated."
"Eh, what can you do?" He shrugs. "Now, come on." He holds out a hand for me on the ground. "Let's go save her."

Yosuke's POV:
"Our attacks aren't making a dent," I huff, trying to catch my breath. "What the hell are we gonna do!?"
Yu looks away.
I mean, what the hell!? He's supposed to be our leader, dammit!
"...Are we gonna die...?" Yukiko mutters darkly.
"Ain't nobody gonna die!" Kanji declares.
"Shit!" Chie yells. "She's charging up again!"
"...What should I do...?" Teddie mumbles.
"Teddie, help us!" I snap.
"No," Yu frowns. "Teddie. You have to get out of here before it wipes you out, too."
"You're gonna let this thing kill us!?" I scoff.
"We're powerless," he murmurs. "What's it gonna matter?"
"Senpai..." Kanji frowns. "C-come on. Get to your feet."
Yu tries, but quickly falls down, completely and utterly drained.
Honestly, we all are.
But suddenly Teddie starts moving. He moves in front of us, as if protecting us.
"...Teddie?" I say.
"M-my body... it's moving on its own!" He exclaims in a state of panic.
"This doesn't look good..." Chie mutters.
"Is it normal for him to be glowin'!?" Kanji yells over the charging noise that emits from the bear.
"Teddie!" Yukiko calls, desperately.
"S-something's happening to me!" He cries aloud, his whole body shaking.
"Everybody! Duck!" Yu shouts.
And then it all goes black.

Yu's POV:
"What... happened?" Kanji murmurs, getting to his feet.
"T-Teddie?" Yosuke scoffs, rubbing his eyes.
"Teddie!" Chie calls as we all rush over to him. "Oh, man, oh, man!"
He looks severely disfigured, if anything. His body is nowhere near as plump as it used to be. He's... flat, really.
"Did I do good, Sensei?" He croaks.
"You didn't just do good," I shake my head. "You saved our lives."
"R-really!?" He splutters excitedly.
I give him a hand up, to which he accepts with a great effort.
"Rise!" Yosuke calls, diverting the attention back to the podium.

FanfictionKanji was just a decoy; Yu knew that. Yosuke was his main target. The issue was, Yosuke would never fall for him -- he was a guy, after all. So Yu formed his online persona as a cute girl -- Yosuke's exact type. He didn't expect it to work so well. ...
