Now you have seen many people in your time since your parents moved from place to place. You’ve also seen many types of color on every person too, but you have never seen a girl who has perfectly tanned skin that seemed to be from sun bathing, and the color in her hair seemed too natural compared to a cheap dye job other girls try to impress boys.

“Excuse me sir, but are you going to ask me a question?”

Huh?

You snapped your attention back to the employee still waiting to be questioned.

Yes, I was hoping you can tell me where I am?

She looked at you a bit confused but quickly turned back to her smiling face and answered.

“You’re in the most well stocked place for all your needs, and in Junes every day is customer appreciation day, every day is great at your Junes!”

Her singing sounds forced including her smile after she finished, you can already tell she just started this job with how much annoyance the jingle makes her feel.

Thank you Miss Shimmer, I’ll be on my way then.

“Wait!” Sunset quickly grabbed your arm and turned you around to face her.

“You can’t go out there sir; the news said heavy weather is coming in any minute.”

It’s alright Miss Sunset, I got it all covered.

You take a pair of black glasses out of your left breast pocket and showed it to her.

“A pair of glasses, shouldn’t an umbrella be better?” Sunset asked.

Don’t worry about me.

You unfold your specs and began to wear them; if it’s the same shadow world you’re going to need vision unclouded by the lies.

[Front of the store]

It was uncanny to see a Junes in the shadow world but the sightseeing can come later. You walked out of the sliding doors to see the effects the glasses has given you.

“Please sir, you must stay inside incase the weather starts soon.” Sunset Shimmer has tailed you outside, trying to stop you from leaving the store.

What do you see?

“I’m sorry, what do you mean?” she asked.

You waved your hand around the area, explain her what you’re asking.

“All I see is clouds starting to darken so we have to get inside” she insisted.

Accepting her answer you removed your glasses to see for yourself, the once clear vision from the glasses soon turns foggy and hard to see anything. It makes sense that she can see since this is her home world and not yours. Putting the glasses back on you started to walk around this foreign place for a better understanding; hoping a certain girl will stop pestering you from going any further.

“Look this is my third day in this job at Junes, and I really want my third day not trying stop some prep student get sick.” Sunset told you.

Prep?

“Yeah you’re a prep student at Canterlot High, the elite of the elite!” She explained.

How can you tell?

“Duh! It’s obvious with what you’re wearing, the prime colors signifying who you are, and a third year to boot.” She pointed at your uniform to prove her point.

Um, yes I am a prep student, a transfer student from a distant town; I just moved here recently and just needed a feel for the town.

Sunset bought your lie and pointed at a street leading to where you think your school is supposed to be.

“Just take that street then take a left, you can’t miss it with the building being twice as large than the regular high school most of us go to.”

You thanked her and started to jog to your alleged school to see what else this place has in store for you.

[Prep school]

When she said the school was large; no words can be summed to describe how massive it is. It wasn’t just big, it was massive! The roof was colored to look like solid gold; the sidewalks were painted in a color of navy blue, walls of the school had a castle theme to them, and the most amazing thing was that it had a giant clock tower as the entrance of the school.

The school a few blocks from here pales in comparison, sure it was a pretty sight with its clean brick walls and there pretty statue does seem like a nice school, though you still prefer the high class building then the regular school any day.

Lifting your glasses again you still see the heavy fog surrounding you with no sign of shadow activity. You’re glad that there is no rouge shadow but you’re also disappointed that no signs of action for today. Turning away from school you begin you’re walk back to Junes. Right before a blur of pink knocks you down on the ground.

Shadows! You thought, and with no form of protection to stop it!

“Hello there, how are you today?!”

Then again you could be wrong with who this person really is. Looking at the person above you see the same baby blue eyes from the last encounter only with new features. Instead of a pony it is a human, it may sound normal but this human is literally pink. Pink hair, pink body, pink everything!

“Oh sorry, let me help you up” The girl grabbed both your arms and lifted you up. Even in this world this pink girl is just as strong as the pink mare.

Thank you

“No problem, I spotted you hanging around with Sunset Shimmer at that new store she was working in.”

You know her?

“Sure, she and I are best friends including the rest of the girls we hang with.”

You asked her name before telling your name first.

“My name is Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you!”

You should have known her name was before asking who she was since she looked like Pinkie in your world.

While talking to her the left edge of your eye spotted something at the corner of the prep school before it disappeared. Thanking Pinkie you walked to the back of the school so less people will see what you are doing. Checking around the back of the school you see a massive array of sports gear, giant track fields, soccer nets, and practice dummies for football. The scene was nice, but the sight you were really interested in was just a few feet ahead of you. At the middle of the track field you see a mass of black goo starting to split into four pieces of shadows.

The goo slowly floated several feet in the air, formed into spheres, then emerged a white mask with no expression before it turned to the back to show a large pair of white lips smiling at you. Taking a stance you raise your right hand and called on the one thing that can stop these monsters.

Persona!

A giant mass of blue flames engulfed you emitting a barrier between you and the shadows; soon a see through giant starts to form behind you making you more intimidating disintegrates including the wall of energy protecting you from the shadows.

Persona!

The shadows are no longer afraid and start to advance their way to harm you. You keep trying to call for your persona, but it still not materialized into a solid object!

Perso-Gaah!

One of the shadows near you slammed its tongue at your chest, knocking the wind out of you and pushing you back a few feet away from them. You wrap your arms around your now injured chest, wheezing with every breath you take. They start to finish you off, slowly circling their prey in case you have any more surprises. Your legs still feel weak to get up from the ground, and your eyes start to fade into the darkness. With your plan going down south, you only pray for a miracle to save you.

[Unknown location]

Your eyes open with a new scene playing before you. What you thought was the velvet room you see a small stadium floating in space with a single person. The person was wearing a white suit, his hair in ponytail, and was wearing a mask with the right side covered in purple while the left is stark white.

“Welcome, I have been inspecting you, my name is Philemon.” He said.

Where am I?

“You are in a place of consciousness and un-consciousness, and now a test will be given to you, what is your name?”

You told him your name.

“Splendid, not many can remember their identity when in this domain; it seems you passed that test, but tell me this are you aware the many selves you harbor within you.”

You mean persona?

“No, not persona you use from your last encounters, I mean the selves that give divine love, the self-capable of demonic cruelty.”

I don’t understand.

“Many people live by wearing different masks, your current self maybe only one of those enumerable masks; you though have a firm grip on your identity.” He said.

Philemon extended his right hand to show a mini figure of your persona in a crystalized form.

“I respect your strong will, and in return I grant you this power….persona.”

I already gained persona from-

“From Igor, I presume, you have indeed made a contract with him, but you have not made a contract with me.”

He lifted his left hand to show a piece of paper with a blank signature at the bottom.

“Now, if you want to proceed then please sign here.”

Walking closer to him you reached at the paper to read the contents of the contract, it says that you will take full responsibility for your actions. Brushing your right hand at the blank signature, your name immediately appeared on it before the paper disappeared from Philemon’s hand.

“Many cannot just cover their eyes and plug in their ears; it is time to send you to your right time and place.”

Philemon waved his left hand to your face before a wave of dizziness makes you fall down and lost all signs of ever getting the hang of mysterious people always wanting to make a contract with you.

[Shadow world]

“Hey, are you alright?” A familiar voice asked you.

Opening your eyes again you see Pinkie Pie with a worried expression and a few tears streaming down her face. You brush a few loose tears from her face making her smile at your reaction of being alright.

I’m alright, why are you here Pinkie?

“I heard you scream at the back of the school so I called my friends to help you.” Pinkie pointed at her friends distracting the shadows with baseball bats, golf clubs, and soccer balls.

Everyone stop and fall back!

“What!” Shouted a cyan skinned girl said, she raised her right leg and kicked a soccer ball so hard it made the shadow to flinch from the impact.

“He’s right Rainbow we ain’t even made a dent in these varmints!” An orange colored farm girl said after giving a second shadow a high jump kick knocking the shadow to the ground.

You guys don’t have the strength to defeat these shadows!

“Well that maybe true darling, but we can’t abandon a friend now can we?” Said pure white girl swinging a golf club at a two more shadows with the help of Sunset Shimmer including another girl with long pink hair with pale yellow skin was also helping them try and stop the shadows from coming any closer.

I mean you guys need to move so I can let loose.

You lifted yourself off the ground and walked past the multi-colored girls to face against the shadows now huddled together to fight you.

I am thou…..

You can hear it. The voice from your last encounter, it helped you know who you are.

Thou art I…..

An arcana card appeared in front of you making the shadows shake with fear of what enemy they are truly facing.

Thou hast opened thine eyes, the time is now!

Per-

A circle of blue flames emerge under you.

So-

The card is set on blue flames.

Na!

You lift your right hand and crushed the card, after you crushed it the tamed flames bursts with more energy. Soon the fire gave birth to a solid giant looming over you and the shadows, its yellow eyes piercing anyone and anything harming you. The six girls were left speechless at the sight in front of them, all but Pinkie smiling at the display with a new gleam in her eyes. She reached in her hair to reveal a microphone in her hands and began to sing.

~Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment, yeah~

~Yeah, naked truth lies only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes till they sterilize
Stop the guerilla warfare to keep it fair
Bro change your rage to a smarter greater cause
You know the stake is high stardom is near
Those who sympathized you die killers pass by
Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs
Do justice to them all~

~Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away
Oh God let me out, can you let me out?
Can you set me free from this dark inner world?
Save me now, last beat in the soul~

You lifted your right arm at the front shadow making your persona kick it with its sharp heel piercing it though the back of its body. The other three scattered while the first one turned back in to sludge and disappeared into the ground.

The air became too thick for you to breathe so you started to un-button your coat for more circulation. For that moment a shadow dashed and bit your persona’s head making you take a step back from the clash. No sooner another shadow had the bright idea to latch on to your left arm making it hard to move your head and left arm.

Get off me!

You’re other self grabbed the shadow with his right hand and slammed it to the ground and tossed the second on to the other direction slamming the last shadow to the ground with it.

Lifting your right arm again a large sword materialized in front of your persona and grabbed it, thrusting the sword it stabbed the lone shadow making it disappeared from the sword leaving just two more left to deal with.

Izanagi!

He pointed his left hand to the two dazed shadows for a lightning attack to strike them from above, disintegrating both of them in one shot. As the last shadows defeated you were done unbuttoning your coat to show your white dress shirt covered in sweat.
With no more shadows around there was nothing to fill the quiet air for anyone to talk to you and your giant guest any questions on what happened in front of them.

“Oh my gosh! You were awesome!” Shouted Pinkie jumping around you then giving you a large hug and lifting you up, soon the rest of the girls circled around you still apprehensive of what you are.

This power, persona, this power belongs to me.

Your first day and your fist fight, today just seems too fast for you to handle this much information at once, but you know one thing important today and that there is a new killer has arrived and ready to kill anyone that gets in his or her way.

You just hope you are enough to handle it alone.
