//-------------------------------------------------------// Persona Equestria Golden -by Brotherhoof12- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Welcome to the velvet room //-------------------------------------------------------// Welcome to the velvet room You hear the soft sound of the train riding on the tracks leading you to a destination that is unknown to your arrival. Moving your hands you feel the cool texture of soft furniture underneath yourself, opening your eyes you see where you are. You see everything velvet with a dark lit light above the center of the ceiling, the windows are all shut making you see fog every where outside. The room is large with ample space around you with a mini bar full of alcohol next to two figures across from where your seating. Focusing your eyes you soon see the definition of the people with in this dark tinted box, the first to show their self was a pale white skin women, she was wearing the same color as the room from head to toe with black stockings going all the way up her tight skirt, a buttoned dress shirt that is barely holding her large bust size, looking at her face you see her bright yellow eyes, yellow hair, and bright red glistening lips smiling at you. Turning your head a few inches away from the women you see the second visitor sitting at the center of the large chair. He was shorter then the women and was wearing a black suit a different color then the rest of the things in this room, his eyes were closed making you think he was asleep, you also see he is an old man with a bald spot and gray hair, but the most noticeable thing you see is the large nose he has that is physically impossible to have. The old man soon opened his eyes and looked at you, his eyes showed only a second of surprise before he soon showed a large smile of your appearance before speaking to you. "Welcome to the velvet room." he said. "I am delighted to see we not only have a visitor but to have the same visitor a second time, isn't that right Margaret? "You are correct sir." Margaret said. She then removed her right hand to reveal a large brown leather book on her lap and started to open it to show the contents inside. Your eyes are soon assaulted by a bright light emitting from the book before it soon fades to reveal images of your friends back home and your adventures with them. "Your bonds are as strong from the last time we met, even though you are far away from them you are still able to keep such strong friendships." Margaret said. "Indeed you are a very interesting visitor I encountered so far" *Chuckles* The long nosed assailant then moved his right arm and made a large wide ark across a table in front of him before a stack of card appeared after his arm moved across the table. "Since I have already read your fate it does not seem necessary to show what new things await you." He then moved his right arm again and moved it in the opposite direction above the cards, the deck soon spread to a large circle with a single card in the center before he flipped it to reveal the single card. It showed a person with his hands around a stick and a tied bag at the end and over his shoulder, there was also a dog following the wanderer where ever the dog can play with it's new master walking near a cliff. The rest of the cards faced up to show a broken tower, a moon, and other symbols that are familiar to you. Soon your eye lids feel heavy making you loose focus and soon you hear the man's voice speaking to you. "I wish we can have more explaining but time marches on in your world, when the moment is right I will tell you more when it transpires in your new world." The scene soon shifts to a blurring image making you fall asleep, before you start to loose consciousness he started to talk again. "I almost forgot to tell you something, since you already know who I am from the first encounter we met It seem only natural to tell you again if you forgot, my name is Igor and this the velvet room that is between mind and matter....." You could only hear fragmented words before you slowly fall back to slumber and back to your dreams. [YESTERDAY FLASHBACK] You see yourself in your dinning room table with your parents across from where you are sitting before breaking the news of where you will be staying for an entire year in school. "I know you wanted to go back to where your uncle and cousin is but we already decided on where we will be staying." Said your father. He then turns to your mom to take where this is going before you listen to her talk. "Where going to this world that has appeared after you left your old school, its called Equestria inhabited by mythological creatures from fairy tails can you imagine. *chuckle* Said your mom trying to break the silent tension in the air but only failing. Why do we have to move to a new world and not back to the town of Inaba? "Our job require us to move around and since there is a new place it means there will be some high demand of jobs making it a good place to stay." informed your farther. "We already informed my brother as to why you are not moving back with them, we have also packed up all of our belongings except yours so pack up because your leaving tomorrow." Your mom said. Why are you leaving on a different train and not with me? "Me and your mother are moving to a large city in Equestria called 'Manehatten' and we don't want you to be influenced by any bad crowds there." "Not to mention you seem better in a smaller area so the closest place we can find was a town called Ponyville a nice place for you to be in." "Not to mention my older brother is already dating a pony and tis mare has a older sister that can give you a spare room so it seems like the best call." Your dad told you. When will i have to be at the train, before packing? "At around 10:00 AM" Your mom said. "Its for the best son you'll see." "Your dad is right and you can also meet the Ponies there and make friends." Your mom tried to cheer you up on what can happen at Ponyville but you already left the table and heading to your room to pack up and go to bed early for you long travel. [PRESENT] Your eyes soon open to see your in the train heading to your new home in Equestria and will soon enroll in a school for a entire year. You hear the speaker of the train come to life and hearing a female voice speaking of your destination. "We will arrive in the Ponyville terminal in a few minutes, I repeat we will arrive in the Ponyville terminal in a few minutes." The speaker told you. You got up from your seat, started to pack your belongings and walked near the train door when you hear the train's screeching stop and the automatic opening and soon you see the Equestrian sun rains down it's golden rays on you. When taking your first step your first step down to the this new world you hear the train's speaker voice. "Welcome to Ponyville (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4n3Am3J7UE)." Author's Note OK SO A SECOND STORY IS OUT FOR GOOD! I hope you all will enjoy this awesome story for many fans of the game and anime to like and fave this story. Also I have another story that I hope you all will like to read before I add a new chapter to the story Man of Equestria. Like always this I Brotherhoof12 saying "Per-so-na!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Reaching out //-------------------------------------------------------// Reaching out The sight you see before you now is slowly coming in to focus, you see the bright sun streaming though floating skies with Pegasi all in different colors on top of the cumulus beds they are lying in with happy faces and interested expressions when looking at the new visitors. Looking on the ground you see more than just flying ponies, you see unicorn ponies using their magic to help humans setting up their new equipment to modernize this new world with the help of ponies with no wings or horn to do the heavy lifting. You’re amazed to see how humans can be so helpful and cooperative when they are interested in something new and foreign they can call a new home, and not to mention a new start of a life they couldn’t do back at earth. The ponies and humans helping this town side by side with no ill intent but only for a peaceful communion made you blurred imagination back to Inaba. Shaking your head you began to walk outside the station when you turned your head to see a group of ponies and a few humans huddled together to see a T.V at the center on the right hand wall of the train station next to the exit of the building. “- and that was the forecast for the weather, and now the latest news for today. A mare that was once a mayor in a small town is now one of the representatives for her world known as 'Equis' was soon found out to have an affair with a part-time gentlemen known as ‘Jiffy’ was found together in a private hotel in the Crystal Kingdom.” Said the anchor pony stallion with his long blonde main combed to the back of his head, his face seeming to have put on some make up for some extra looks for the viewers he turned his eyes looking at his partner a female human smiling at the camera with her blouse buttons halve closed and her bust almost popping out. If it’s one thing you know is that people mostly watch the news for some reasons, some big juicy reasons it’s also glad some ponies watch the news for their reasons to. “That’s right Anchor worthy it is horrible to know that this mare was also being the fiancée with a famous singer from Manehatten named Jade melody. The singer also made a interview with the reporters about how she also found out about this relationship only after she proposed to her.” The news kept on about this scandal before they cut to commercial with its own special theme song you know very well. “At Junes every day is customer appreciation day. Come see for yourself, and get in touch with our products! ~every day’s great at your Junes!” Ignoring the rest of the endless channels you hear a couple of voices talking about the gentlemen scandal. “Geez I can’t believe that she would just cheat on her first lover with some call colt.” Said a female Pegasus with a pale green coat with bright red mane and a picture of a watermelon on her thigh. she was talking to a tall man next to her still watching the screen for anything news worthy. “Yeah but it’s only natural for people and ponies to only be attracted to those with money and power.” “And what is that supposed to mean?” Ignoring the banter between the two you begin to walk again to the outside before you bumped against somepony or some-griffon, you felt a talon grab your shoulder very painfully making you flinch. “Hey watch where you’re going!” The voice of the mean Griffon was female with a bit of a deep voice to it; her lower half was a cat and her feathers had white with some brown all the way to her head with purple color around her predator eyes. And this predator just made her sights on a very confused and timid prey (A.K.A you). Sorry about that, it was an accident. *Huff* “Yeah your better be sorry punk” She then bumped against you again to your shoulder with a lot more force making you stagger a few inches. Already you have made a good impression with the locals. You now exit the station front door you now fully see the rest of the town that was being blocked by the station. “Hey over here!” a voice shouted toward you. You turn you head to see a female brown earth pony with a light brown mane with a heart and a baby bottle on her thigh and a dark brown coated and bright brown mane earth pony colt near her foreleg. “You must be him I presume, my your more handsome than the picture showed you.” It’s nice to see you. “Don’t be so formal just call me Ana it’s short for Analog, let’s see here I’m your uncle’s soon to be older sister and that about sums it up.” You nodded your head and looked at the colt still trying to hide from you. “Oh right! I forgot about my son, his name is Button mash or Button for short, “She budged her son forward to make him have eye contact with you, “Say hello to your future cousin Button.” “…ello” He muttered to you. *Chuckle* “What are you so shy for?” The remark made Button blush before nudging his mother but only making her laugh by his attempt. “We should first go to the general store for some supplies so just walk around a few yards to get a feel in this town.” You agreed to the decision and decided to roam around a few blocks to see the new locations to explore that will happen to be your routine for an entire year. You see many ponies and humans interacting with each other so making a couple of new friends in Ponyville will be a lot more easier. You even see six ponies having a conversation but seem to have their tone a few sounds lower than the rest of the residents of the town. Walking a little bit closer without being suspicious you only hear a few words coming from the colorful six. One of them was a cyan Pegasus with a multicolored mane whispering to her companions with extra emphasis with her fore hoofs. “….Telling you…..the……making………weird fog…..Can’t control…” Then you heard a southern accent in the mix from the orange earth pony with a cowboy hat agreeing with her friend as well as a white unicorn with a styled purple mane nodding her head but at the same time not ruining her hair-do. The next to speak was a lavender Unicorn with purple and pink high lights in her straight mane with what appears to be wings and a six pronged star on the back of her legs. “I agree…..Dash……need….to send scroll……Celestia……and…..Luna.” The unicorn Pegasus soon ended her speech before a yellow coated, pink long mane and three butterflies where the same location you see adult ponies have. The Pegasus soon interrupted the rest of her friends and made them turn their heads to find something…..or someone. You turn your head quickly to not be found out before your eyes meet a bright baby blue eyes staring at you before it soon vanished from your sight. Turning your head around you try and turn around to another way to not be any more inconspicuous to the ponies but felt a heavy weight on your back and shoulders, making you fall face first on the man and pony made road. Lifting your head you again see the same colored eyes looking at you but you also see the pair of eyes with a giant happy face but looked like a frown then a smile. “Hello there silly!” *Chuckles* the person or pony jumped off you, picked you up and put you on your feet with ease before seeing the pony. The pony was a pink coated with the same colored mane looking at you with a upright happy face, not to mention the pink mare was a earth pony giving you the reason how she can lift you without being tired. Thank you. “You very super-duper welcome, the names Pinkie Pie but my friends call me Pinkie or Pink or even Pie for some but not much because many really seem fond of the word Pinkie instead of Pie so you get used to it. Oh! And speaking of getting used to names what’s yours ‘cause I never seen you hear before in these parts of town or planet or even world for that matter actually.” For the first time in your life you wish to have Teddie's voice instead of hers right about now, but it will be rude not to answer her question of who you are in the matter. You told her your name then heard a few distant voices from behind you and the pink pony. “Looks like it’s my best friends coming over to say ‘hi’ to you new friend, you want to meet them? even though you kind of eased dropped on us.” You kindly declined before her friends arrived but she seemed intent on your answer before she took out a ball out of her mane and threw it on the ground unleashing a plume of smoke before it all vanishes with you no longer on the road but instead at the front of the general store where you told Ana to meet each other when your done sight seeing. “Wow you seem fast to know your way around town.” You turn around to see her and Button with paper bags full of groceries on their backs. “You ready to go to your new home?” You said yes and helped them with their groceries and left to your living quarters for the year. [HOME] The walk from the store was a long one making the day turn to night, you, Button, and Button’s mom unpacked the groceries and your stuff and separated to your rooms to sleep for the night. The room you have is a very spacious room with enough space to moving your futon to the corner right room across the window and mini couch. You toss and turn in your futon but no sleeping position can make it any easier on what you been though today. The fact that your friends are not just miles, but light years away makes you feel all the more lonely when you first came to Inaba and now here as well. Finally with some time your eyes begin to close and your imagination began to play its part in your head to whisk you away from the town and somewhere you know very well. The only question you ask yourself is when are you going to buy a T.V for your room? [Town Square] As most of the resident sleep at night some thrive in it, Bio-luminescence a gentlemen working his night shift was walking along the lonely road with a cellphone in his hand and a coat in the other. “Look I know the pay is good and all but I am not doing it when the mare is in heat it’s degrading for me!” His shouting could not wake the sleeping people and ponies but he did not care, he just wanted to go to the train station and leave this place and go somewhere with mares that don’t want guys dressing up in girl cloths. what was even worse was that fog was covering the area making it harder for him to see. “Where is the damn road in this place?” He was already too late to see the giant flag pole in front of him, making him face plant on cold steel, dropping his cellphone and coat to cradle his injured nose. “FUCK! God dammit that hurt….” Bio couldn’t finish his rude shouting for what he has his eyes on. The fog couldn’t cloud his vision well enough to see the sight before him. The pole’s flag was wrapped around a big object dangling in midair, arms swaying and its finger tips scraping across the pole. “Hello? You their Bio?” said the other voice on the cellphone. Snapping out of his accidental discovery he picked up his phone with both of his shaking hands tightly so he won’t drop it. He took a couple of deep breaths before he talked to the person on the other line. “I’m going to have to call you back.” Author's Note This is the second and hopefully make a third sooner or later to get the real show starting! Will you make new friends to counter this new enemy? You must all read to see the next chapter of Persona Equestria Golden to find out. Don't forget like and fave this story including my other story Man of Equetsria. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Shadow World //-------------------------------------------------------// The Shadow World [Morning] Your not to fond of mornings but your also not someone who likes to sleep all day either. Getting up from your futon you started to check your new school uniform your parents have given you for the new school year. Opening your luggage you found an outfit rapped in clear plastic. It resembles your old uniform from Inaba but has some differences with the uniform color being lavender and grey then black and white, not to mention the collar shows the roman number of three then your original uniform with the number two. Such differences still cannot shake the feeling of nostalgia when looking at how similar it is to yours that you did not listen to somepony calling your name. "Breakfast! Time to get up both of you so you can go to school!" said Button's mom. You quickly ripped the bag and put on your new outfit and went down to breakfast to start your official day in Ponyville. [Down Stairs] The breakfast table was full of your everyday morning treats with (scrambled) eggs, cereal, milk, orange juice, and a pot of coffee next to two empty mugs at the counter kitchen table with Mrs. Button washing the frying pan. Even on your first day of morning on a new planet you still miss bacon in the morning. "Good morning you. How did you sleep?" She asked. the sleep was very nice. Thank you again for taking me under your roof. "Don't worry about that dear, its what family members do right?" The conversation soon stopped when you hear loud running upstairs before you see a Button zoom past you and was sitting on the kitchen pillow. It was still weird that they use pillows instead of chairs but you don't complain about it. "Morning mom!" he shouted. "Well now it is a bout time you waked up Buttons, I was about to go to your room to make sure you don't oversleep like last time." She scolded. "Sorry mom I was trying to find my hat before I started to come down to breakfast." "At least your up so we can finally eat, and hurry we don't want both of you missing school now." The three of you enjoyed a nice breakfast before you hear a loud ringing sound in the living room. "Don't get up you two finish your meals, I will answer it." Ana said getting up from her pillow and walking to answer the call. "Hello, Who is this?..........I see..........I will be there." She hung up the phone and walked out of the living room and to the front do. "Seems I am needed so I can't be here when you return home, can you show him the way to school Button?" "Ok mom." He said putting the dishes in the sink and washing them. Shortly after she left you helped Button clean the rest of the table before going outside to your new school in Ponyville. [Outside the house] The outside was still showing the sun rising to alert everyone the new day is here with you and Button walking to school. "There is a fork in this path so we will split up. the one on the left is my school while the right one has your school." Thank you for showing me the way. "Don't worry about it, we will meet up again anyway since we both get out of school the same time," Button then ran to his school and turned his head to look at you "And don't worry about getting lost it's just straight ahead." Good bye "Good bye!" Button then turned to face the road and started to run again leaving you alone for the first time with no one else to help you. Walking on the road to your school was a quiet journey with no one else besides you walking the same road leading to your destination. Thinking you asked yourself. Are you the only one going to school? Is there no school for you today? You kept thinking about this before you see the town ahead of you coming to full view. If this road is the way to school like Button said then it also means that your school is also in the town as well. Running the rest of the way you enter the town before you stopped at the square and heard shouting above you. "Hey how did you get in here?!" Looking up you see a cyan colored Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail zoom down from the sky and land in front of you. "I said how did you get in here?" You told her you came from the road you ran from, you pointed your right hand finger to show her which road your talking about. "Great they couldn't block this road yet incase they start entering here." She said to herself. What's happening? "Look just go around this part of town and don't do something stupid or you could get in trouble ok?" She said than flew up in the sky. Not wanting to make trouble on the first day you decided to follow her instruction and go a different route to school. [10 minutes later] The walk did take longer then you thought but you made it to the other side of the town and saw most of the residence of Ponyville huddled together behind a barricade of police tape and golden armored pony guards blocking the view of many ponies minus the tall humans looking at the scene. Walking to the crowd you asked a close by human if he knows what is going on. "Sure I know what happened," he lifted his left arm and pointed to a group of mares you remembered yesterday talking to some human police officers. "They were here talking to the witness who said he found a dead body hanging from the town flag pole last night when he was trying to find the main road but can't with all the heavy fog, not to mention most of us were still asleep so he was the only witness." the man explained. looking at the group of mares one of them with wings and a horn quickly walked to the crowd, the ponies and humans began to kneel when she arrived. Every one except you still standing and looking at the winged unicorn. "Do not worry everypony everything is fine, go back to your whatever you were all doing and I promise you we will get to the bottom of things." She said giving some assurance to everyone before the large group slowly got smaller and smaller. You started to walk back to the direction to your school before the winged guards stepped in front of you and stopped you by extending their wings. Both of them looked exactly alike so you do not know who they really are with the same armor and white coat. "Princess Sparkle has ordered us to escort you to her." The white guard on the left said. You (hesitantly) agreed and let the guard from the right to lead you to the princess while the one on the left walks behind you. Even on a fresh start on this world you have been encountered with this dilemma, fate just seem to really want to make you suffer. [Town Square] The princess and her friends were in a circle talking to each other, not noticing you and the guards. the guard from behind you calmly approached her, kneeled to her, then stood back up to tell her you have arrived. Turning around she looks up to look at your face, up close she has more definition to herself when up close. Her lavender fur seem to have a dull shine, her mane has a bright purple and pink highlight on her dark purple mane and tail, and her wings seem to be far larger then the wings you see on other pegasi. "Nice to meet, my name is Twilight Sparkle." It is nice to meet you. "Now I knew you want to know why I have asked you to be here and I will tell you why." Twilight lifts a hoof and points top your outfit. "That uniform means your a transfer student from earth right?" She asked. Yes I am. "Well I am sorry to inform you but due to this sudden incident I cannot be their to the school so it is cancelled until I can figure out how the body was found on the flag pole." Does that mean your the- "Yes I am the principle for the school for humans, it was made so young students can integrate with this new world more easily." You are silent for this new revelation, you are talking to the principle of your school who is not only a pony but a princess of a country. "I must go to other students of my school to inform them that it is cancelled for time being, if you have any questions please ask me now." You wanted to ask her questions about the body but decided to ask her something else. Do you know where I can get a television? The princess seemed surprised by the answer, she thought she was going to answer any questions regarding the school but took a moment to answer you question. "A new store just happen to have opened so they might have TVs there, I think you humans called it Junes." You thank her before you walked to the store, with things unfolding when you arrived here it is all to obvious of what's happening. The only thing left now is to test a little theory. [Junes Department] The store seems to be the same from design like Yosuke's Junes store from Inaba, the only difference is the customers were ponies gawking at these new things humans use for daily use. You asked a worker which direction the TVs are, she told you it is at the back of the store. The televisions were all lined up from the cheapest to the most expensive electronics, but you weren't here for purchase only the destination it leads too. If your right then everything is starting all over again with how the town is having fog at night and the body being hung from poles, it could not be just a coincidence and your not going to wait before another dead body appears. Picking the largest TV you brought your right hand to the surface if the screen, in a matter of seconds your hand soon goes through the screen with your whole arm with it! Jerking it out of the TV you take a few steps back and watch your surrounding's to see if anyone else saw what you were doing. With no one or pony in the TV section you went in the TV head first before your entire body was soon engulfed, leaving no trace of you ever leaving the Store but instead entering another world. [Other Side] You see nothing but white when you see a rings of black all around you before you hit solid floor. Maybe it was not wise to enter face first after all. Picking yourself off the floor and rubbing your injured face you look around to see where you are. Last time in the shadow world you saw a studio with fog all around it, here in the Equis World is completely different. This place was not in fog or in a studio, instead your in Junes in the same TV section. You could of sworn you entered the TV right? Walking out of electronics you spotted a female worker checking the prices if discount DVDs, her back was behind you so you only see her hair, you have seen girls color dye their hair but her hair take the cake. Her long hair was colored with red, and, yellow making it look like her hair was flames. Excuse me miss I need some help. She turned around and you saw her bright green eyes staring at you before speaking to you. "Hello my name is Sunset Shimmer how can I be of some assistance?" Author's Note Not only are you in the shadow world but a shadow world oh humanized ponies! Shut the front door! If you want to find out more then read the next chapter of Persona Equestria Golden! Like always this is Brotherhoof12 saying "Please remember to like, favorite, and follow me if you want to learn more on this story." //-------------------------------------------------------// I Am Thou //-------------------------------------------------------// I Am Thou 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. Author's Note Oh my gosh! did I just add in not just persona 4 with Equestria girls, but the first persona game? well either way I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and wish for your comments on the story as it progresses further. Don't forget to like, favorite, and follow me to get the latest chapters on Persona Equestrian Golden. Like always this is Brotherhoof12 saying "Well, let's get started." //-------------------------------------------------------// Eplanation of the situation //-------------------------------------------------------// Eplanation of the situation Just as Izanagi has appeared before you he quickly vanished from your sight leaving his signature arcana floating down to your hand then disappearing. Looking back on the girls you see Sunset shimmer talking to her friends and see Pinkie a few feet from you writing some lyrics down on a piece of paper out of nowhere. Sunset noticed your gaze and quickly made the girls scatter away from her, taking a slow deep breath she walked towards you with the same smile she gave you at Junes and spoke to you. “So not only are you a elite student, but your also some superhero that can summon monsters to fight other monsters.” She said with no problem about what happened. That is actually the gist of it, yeah. “Good to know…..NOW!” She shouted. Wait, what? Just when you were about to ask her a blunt force hit you at the back of your head causing you to land on the ground making you black out from the surprise attack. [Unknown location] “It was a good idea to let us know what happened, Sunset.” A new voice spoke. Now that you are awake you open your eyes to see blurry images moving from side to side. Taking this as a sign that they blind folded you to not know where you are and decided to take you to this mystery person for more questioning. “It seems our guest is awake, sister.” Another voice said behind you. Great, now they noticed you conscious. You remained silent and decided to say anything to them. “Now that you’re awake we need to know more on what happened at your school.” The first mystery said. You still remained silent. “Our students were almost injured because they went out of their way to help you, now tell us what we need to know.” The second women said to you with more force. They have a point, you wanted to handle the situation by yourself, but instead you almost got killed, and you let many people you barely met into danger. Taking the pros and cons about what your next move will be you decided to speak about what you were fighting and why your are here. You can’t tell how long you spoke, so you guessed you told about 20 or so minutes before you were done speaking leaving the two to believe your story or not. They were also kind enough to let you see who they are with no blind fold. The first person you can see is a woman with dark navy blue skin and hair named Luna and next to her is a much taller female with bright color rainbow hair, white skin, and abnormally long legs is called Celestia. “We don’t believe your story.” They said in unison. Of course they don’t, you tried to explain this to an adult in Inaba before with the same result. “You expect us to believe that some corrupt god has descended upon our worlds to try and engulf both the real world and this so called ‘shadow world’ is just ridiculous.” Luna said to you. “We do believe that there are different worlds. Our student, Sunset shimmer, was also from a different world, but she entered from our school statue not from a plasma TV.” Celestia told you. Sunset, you mean the girl with the red and orange hair? “Yes, she and her friends were the one who dragged you to us, their outside the hallway if you must know.” Luna said. Can I see them? “Not until you tell us how you really got here.” Than how about you tell me how long I was knocked out? “About an hour long before you woke up.” Celestia told you. Great, by now Button’s mom will have known that school has been canceled and will want to know why you are not home by now. If I show you where I entered will you believe me? “That’s if we trust you enough not to run away if we let you go.” Celestia told you. If you let the girls come with you than you have a better chance at catching me if I escape. Looking back at each other Luna walked near the door from your left side motioning the girls to enter the room. You would have waved hello to them, but since your arms are tied at the back of the chair you decided to give them a nod of acknowledgement. “Is the rope really necessary?” Pinkie asked them. “If he is able to summon this ‘persona’ you girls talked about I don’t want to have any chances if he decided to put us all in harm.” Luna told them. Well, since all of them are here can I be released? “Alright, but if we see you try to run we won’t hesitate to put you back in this chair.” Celestia said with a more serious tone than before. Walking behind you, Celestia untied the rope and stepped back from you. Putting your hands in front of your view you flexed your hands and got up from the chair to see everyone around are at a distance from you with the same weapons they used to fend of the shadows. Hey, did one of you hit me at the back of the head? Looking to each girls faces, the one with the most guilty look was the yellow skinned girl clutching her gulf club and was about to burst in to tears making you know that she was the one who gave you the hit to the head. “I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m so sorry!” She shouted before letting her gulf club fall on the ground and wrapped her arms in a hug with her tears and snot being rubbed all over your shoulder. “She kind of got scared about how you were able to control that monster you call 'Izanagi' and decided to group you with those varmints we’ve been fighting.” The girl with the cowboy hat said. “Not to mention you were absolutely awesome and scary at the same time!” Pinkie pie screamed. “You were absolutely cool when you controlled that thing with the huge sword. Hey, do you think I can do it too?” She asked. Without even a second thought she extended her arms into the air then she shouted. “Persona... Persona! Why isn’t it working?” She pouted. “Maybe on a later time, Pinkie, for now we need our new friend here to show us where he came from.” Celestia said to her. “Ok Ms. Principle!” Pinkie agreed. You’re a principle? “Yes, I am the principle of this school, and my sister Luna, is the vice principle.” She explained. “If we’re giving out our names than I should tell him too. My name is Rainbow dash, don’t forget it.” The girl with the rainbow hair said. Pointing to her left she said “Next to me is Applejack.” “Nice meeting you, sorry if we started on the wrong foot at the beginning.” She apologized. You told her that it was alright and listened to Rainbow dash again. Pointing to the girl with the purple hair, Rainbow dash said “Next to Applejack, is Rarity.” “Pleasure to meet you, sir; I am very thankful you were there to defeat those monsters.” Rarity said. “And since you seem to know Sunset and Pinkie that leaves Fluttershy, the girl that is messing up your uniform.” Looking back to her you see she is still crying on your shoulder with tears and snot still pouring down her face. It’s all nice to meet you all, but I need to go back to Junes. “Junes, why do you need to go where I work?” Sunset asked you. I’ll show you, trust me when I say that this will freak you out. [Later at Junes] The walk to Junes was fine, your glasses was given back to you from Rarity, she said she loved the craftsmanship of the specs and scribbled down a few designs so she can make more from some reason, but your just glad you can wear it again when your outside to see what’s around you. What’s really an inconvenience is that many people keep staring at you since a group of six girls and two women are behind you. Ignoring the stares from other strangers you enter the store and found the same electronics section where you first arrived. “So this is where you came from, a TV screen?” Sunset asked. Seeing how most of these girls are also having a hard time to believe, you put your hand on the largest TV screen then slowly merged in to the TV. Your group jumps from this surprise and walked closer to this phenomenon. “My word, this is far more surprising then the portal at our school sister.” “Indeed Luna, to have another portal here will increase the danger if some innocent bystander might somehow stumble upon this television.” Reaching her arm to the screen she tried to copy what you’re doing with a different result. Instead of her arm being inside the screen it only touched solid surface while your arm is still inside. “Why isn’t it working?” She asked you. It should work with any of you not just me. Just like her sister, Luna tried to phase through the screen with the same thing happening to her sister. “Well, we can at least be glad that no on our side can use this portal, Celestia.” “Your right, Luna, but we can’t take the chance. You girls stay with our friend here and me and my sister will go to the cahier to purchase this TV.” As the two sisters leave you alone with the rest of the group asking you questions. “How is Twilight doing back at home?” Applejack asked first. Twilight, you mean the princess? She’s doing fine, just trying to solve a murder. “A murder, that’s completely dangerous!” Rarity shouted. “Yeah, Twi is an egghead not an investigator.” Rainbow dash told you. Don’t worry about her; I dealt with this situation before and I can do again. “Them why are you still here you should go to her world, right now.” With a quick shove from Pinkie you stumbled back in the TV, but before you could completely dive in you grabbed the nearest thing to stop you from getting in any further. “Hey, let me go!” But instead of grabbing a random thing you grabbed Sunset shimmer. As you and Shimmer spiral down the portal you see her form starting to get smaller to a shape like a pony. In front of you now is not Sunset shimmer to human, but Sunset shimmer the unicorn! Hold on to me, Shimmer, it’s going to be a rough landing! Wrapping your arms around her you brace for impact when your back hit solid ground making you grunt from the brief pain. Looking around you see the same place where you entered with the exception of a unicorn in your arms. Taking a moment to breathe, you looked back down to see Sunset looking around her. “I’m back at Equestria, but I thought you’re the only one who can enter and exit the TV?” Me too, I am just as lost as you are. “Then please, tell me how you skipped school, didn’t go home, and why a mare is on top of you?” Hearing a familiar voice you looked to the left to see a confused, but mostly angry Button’s mom. Um, I can explain all this. You just need to make your explanation more believable to her if you don't want to be grounded. Author's Note I was making some editing from my other stories when I thought about how I did not make a chapter with this story. so I gave my time and made this chapter for all who like it a read. Like always this if brotherhoof12 saying "Sorry for the wait." //-------------------------------------------------------// New school, New classroom //-------------------------------------------------------// New school, New classroom [Prep School] To say the inside from the school is big is an understatement, after you left principle Celestia’s school to enter the prep school Sunset was in you found out that even the inside of this school is even more massive on the inside. Navy blue tiled floors, gold painted lockers, and a small café at the center of the main lobby was just the few amazing things you saw when you entered inside. Looking up at the clock on the wall next to the café told you it is around eight in the morning making you realize that the bell for second period is about to ring. With no way of knowing where to find the principal’s office, you decided to try to find a map of the school. “Excuse me; are you also a transfer student here?” You turned around and found a girl with lavender skin, messy haired girl wearing a pair of glasses and a lab coat over her uniform. You told her that you are here to find a girl from a different school named Sunset Shimmer and also trying to find the principal’s office. “Oh, I see, I’m actually on my way to the principal’s office to get my schedule for my classes today. Since we’re both going to the office we might as well stay together, right?” You agreed to walk with her to the office. “Excellent, now you might want to stand close to the walls in 3... 2... MOVE!” Pushing you gently to the wall you heard the bell signaling the students to quickly go to second period class. You were so caught up in the waves of students passing by you and lab coat girl that you did not notice her pulling your sleeves to make you follow her. “Come on, we need to keep moving before more students come flooding in to this hall way” She told you. For about two minutes of following her you found yourself in front of the principal’s office. The girl then let go of your sleeve, knocked on the door, and called out her name. “Excuse me, I’m Twilight sparkle and I’m with, um, what was your name again?” You told her your name. “Right, I’m with a new student who is also getting this Sunset person from your office.” After she stopped talking you and her waited about another five minutes before the door opened to show a dark room you can’t seem to describe what’s inside the room. Moving closer to the door for a better look a pair of arms sprouted out of the dark room, wrapped themselves around your neck, and a Sunset shimmer fully emerged out of the room giving you an embrace. “Hey, you, hope I didn’t make you worry.” She said to you while still hugging you. I’m more relieved that you’re ok. “I’m sorry for doing this to you, but I just wanted to know if you’re TV would work on me with my size and… and…” Dropping her arms to her sides Sunset was in a stunned silence when her eyes landed on Twilight. “Um… Hello.” Sunset said to Twilight. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Sunset, My name is Twilight sparkle and I am glad to meet his friend for the first time.” She said while grabbing Sunset’s right hand and started to shake it. “Um, Hello,” Sunset said Twilight. “Hey, can we talk somewhere else, please?” She asked you. Pulling your arm to get your attention she dragged you away from Twilight so she can talk to you. “Ok, what the fuck is she doing here?” Sunset asked you in a harsh whisper. You told her how you and Twilight met. “Did you forget that Twilight is also a princess in her world, or are you just incompetent?” Now that she mentioned it. You do remember the similarities between this Twilight and the alicorn princess Twilight. “Well, at least this Twilight doesn’t know about anything involving my school and you being here. I’m going to call the girls about where I am and you can-“Right when Sunset was getting her phone out of her pocket, she was pushed from behind, dropped her phone, and was then split open from the solid floor. “My phone, who’s the bitch made me drop it?!” Sunset shouted. “Oh my gosh! I am so sorry, Sunset, my glasses fell off and I was trying to pick them up.” Twilight said while trying to find her glasses. But instead of getting her glasses Twilight stumbled upon Sunset’s phone instead, picked it up, and squinted her eyes for a better look. “Is this your phone? She asked Sunset. “Yeah, but it’s broken and now I need a preplacement. It’s going to take a miracle to-” Sunset said sadly. “I fixed it!” Twilight told Sunset. “What?” Grabbing the phone out of Twilight’s hand Sunset inspected her phone and checked if her phone if it’s really functioning. “I can’t believe it, how did you fix this?” Sunset asked her. “Oh, it’s quite easy when you have a couple of years of engineering and reverse engineering under your belt.” “Well, thank you, Twilight.” After her thank you she decided to help Twilight have her glasses back when she found it next to a trash can next to the principle’s front door. “Thank you very much!” Twilight said to Sunset for her help. “Don’t worry about it; I just need to go to my school soon before they mark me as absent. Let’s go.” Following Sunset shimmer to the exit you were once again stopped by Twilight. “Why are you leaving? Since you’re here you might as well get you schedule for class too.” You were about to ask Sunset to wait for you, but by the time you looked back to ask Sunset to wait for you, but she was long gone before you could tell her. As you were trying to find any other way to get out of this bind the principle’s door soon opened slightly with a slender pale arm emerging from the darkness of the room and signaled you and Twilight to enter. As you entered after Twilight you closed the door behind you and tried to find the light switch to have a better look around the office. “I didn’t say you can touch things in my office, student.” Said a female disembodied voice making you immediately put your hands to your sides. As soon as you were slowly adjusting to the darkness your eyes were blinded when a small lamp illuminated on top of the principles desk with a woman sitting behind it. “I am pleased to meet you both, my name is Night M. Moon, and I expect you both to be on your best behaviors in my school.” She told you with both a stern cold voice that sent shivers down your spine. It was odd how her voice sounded familiar to you, but her looks made you thought you were seeing both principles Celestia and Luna put together. She was tall as Celestia and had almost the same characteristics as Luna, but with the difference with a darker skin tone, different colored eyes, and more hair with stars made you more uncomfortable with being around this woman. “Twilight sparkle, I presume?” She looked at the girl next to you and then to the file she had in her hands. “Y-yes, ma’am, I am here for my schedule.” Twilight said. “Well, you don’t need to keep standing, both of you can seat down.” She waved at the two seats across her desk having you and twilight seat in them. “Yes, I have you paper for your classes, but I also have a form with your parents wanting to transfer you to a different school.” The principle then handed Twilight the form to show her. “Ok, yeah, this is my parents hand writing and everything, but I thought it would take some time before the transfer papers will go to this new school I will be attending later, so I thought I might as well have some classes here before I leave.” She said the principle and handing the papers back to her. “Then for now you might as well get some education done here before you leave,” Turning her gaze to you the principle reached out a folder from her desk’s drawer and started flipping the pages. “I should have had your paper works before you arrived, student, but it seems you arrived before that happened.” Closing the folder shut she went back the staring directly at you making it hard for you to not flinch from her eerie gaze. “So, I would deem it necessary to ask you why you are here before your transfer sheets haven’t arrived.” You told her that you were here to find a friend that was here not too long ago. “I see, the canterlot high school principle did say someone was picking up a student who was found trespassing on here.” With her question answered you and Twilight was left in total silence from the principle before she reached inside her desk and pulled out two sheets of paper. “It would be a waste of both of our time if none of you had some time spent here before school ends,” the principle then gave each of you a piece of paper with different sets of classes. “Ms. Twilight, your classes hold all your AP classes and your schedule hold your typical slandered classes, but since I don’t have your file of how many credits you have you might need to have some time for night classes.” She told you. “Thank you, principle, we are very happy that you gave us our classes and we will make sure that we’ll be the best students of the school.” Twilight said with a professional smile. It would have been a bit more professional if she would have combed her hair. “I hope you do. My school holds only the brightest of students from all over the world, which is why I will have no mercy on any students who disobey my rules both inside and outside of my school.” Said the Celestia/Luna look-a-like with a serious tone to make sure she means business. “Now, you both best be on your way, the third period bell is about to ring and I will hate to have you late for class.” You and Twilight both nodded at her and walked out side of the office to get ready for your next class. “My third period class is AP calculus. What about you?” Looking at your next class you told her you have art class at room 234 in the south building. “Damn, mine is in room 134 in the north building, so I guess we won’t be seeing each other for a while. Wait, almost forgot, what time do you have for lunch, because mine says I have c lunch.” Looking back at your paper you told her you have c lunch too. “Excellent, at least we won’t be eating alone during lunch.” As you and Twilight talked the third class bell began the both of you took your separate ways to start your first day at school. “We’ll see each other later; meet me at the center table of the cafeteria, ok?” Twilight said while she slowly drifted away by the sea of students heading to the north building. When Twilight was gone from your field of vision you began your walk to classroom 234. [Somewhere else] Of course, Twilight did in fact reach the north Building and found her classroom, but instead of entering the calculus she made a B line for the girls bathroom, picked the stall and the end of the bathroom, and pulled out a large touch screen cell phone out of her lab coat pocket. “I’m glad that girl didn’t notice I planted a bug in her phone before I gave it to her. I’m even more grateful that I found her here on my first day of school.” With a flick of her finger Twilight downloaded many files from Shimmer’s directly into her phone, so she can see what Shimmer’s phone is hiding. “I hate to be late for class, but my if my research and surveillance is true, then something strange is happening that is directly involved with her and that school she’s enrolled to, so I think this is a good excuse to be late this one time.” Flipping through random info and pictures of Shimmer’s friends Twilight found a video labeled ‘Evidence’ making Twilight hit the play button to see what its contents are about. The video first showed that it was taken place behind this school with the new transfer student badly beaten. “Why is he injured? Don’t tell me she recorded him having a fight with someone and didn’t help him, So much for a friend. Wait, what is he doing now?” Just as he was raising his arm up to the sky, a group of what appears to be large floating shadows charged at him before stopping a couple of yards away from him. “What the fuck! What are these… things! This is beyond what I thought was happening, but why are they stopping?” Twilight looked at the transfer student with a curious eye and asked out loud. ‘What are you going to do now?” As if answering her question, the transfer student was soon surrounded by blue flames followed by a large giant manifesting behind him. Her curious gaze soon turned crazed when she saw how he easily controlled the large monster into killing those shadows made her go on the edge of the toilet seat before she tried to logically solve what she’s seeing. “Ok, ok, ok, um, maybe some form of telekinesis I hear so much on the internet? Maybe some computer graphics as a form of a video arts festival, there has to be some logic to this!” Her logic was soon killed off with the final nail to the coffin when the giant summoned lighting from the sky and killing the last monster to smithereens. Shaking uncontrollably, Twilight reached in her left lab coat pocket and placed a paper bag on her mouth and began to inhale and exhale out of as a way to calm her nerves. For about five times breathing into the bag she heard the final bell signaling her to be late, but was the last thing she was worried about with what she just saw just now. “Ok, I’m calm, shit, no I’m not,” Taking a few more breath from the paper bag, Twilight finally calmed down to form a plan to handle this situation. “This goes beyond what I imagined. Not only are those girls are connected to the recent strange occurrences at Canterlot high, but to also have raw evidence about the mysterious transfer student and his strange power makes me need to change my plans on confronting both of these factors.” Reaching in to her inside coat pocket Twilight took out a packet of cigarettes and lighter and started to smoke one as a way to formulate a new strategy. “Seems like I need to tackle each problem one at a time if I want get all of this new knowledge to be of use to me.” Looking at her phone she scrolled through Shimmer’s pictures to find a picture of the transfer student knocked out a tied up on a chair. “And the first step is you. Soon, very soon, I’ll get my answers one way or another.” [South building] 230… 231… 232… and room 233 was the last classroom in the south building. You were already three minutes late for class and already your attendance is slipping. You tried to ask some students for help, but each and every one of them was too busy getting to their class or just didn’t want to help you. You even tried to find a teacher to help, but you couldn’t find one before the final bell rang signaling you that third period started. “Whoa, watch out, boy!” Turning your head you saw a janitor riding a fast speeding garbage can rolling to fast to stop. Taking a side step you evaded to trash can and watched as the garbage can and the janitor crash on to the wall scattering small scraps of paper trash all over the floor. “Crap! I just cleaned this floor.” The janitor frantically started to pick the trash up off the floor to not get in trouble for his mistake. You then decided to help him pick up the trash off the floor. “Thanks, Kid, not a lot of students in this school doesn’t give the time to help a janitor in this school.” Looking up to see your face you saw that his face was covered by a pair of dark shades, mask, and a ball cap with some white hair sticking out around the sides of his head. “I can’t blame them, since they don’t want to be late for class and a scary strict principle breathing down their neck. But since you’re helping me means your new here aren’t you.” You told him you transferred to this school and that you need help finding your class room. “Hmm, yeah, I think I’ve seen that class two or three times when I was collecting the trash. I’ll take you there since you helped me.” Picking up the last piece of paper he waved his hand to motion you to follow him. “This way, Kid, stick with me and we’ll find your class in no time.” You and the janitor took about twenty paces forward before he stopped you in front of a door with no number attached to it. “And we’re here. Hope you have a fun time, Kid, because it’s going to be the worst school year you’ll ever have!” the janitor smiled after telling you that. You asked him why the door is not numbered. “Oh! Right, right, right, I knew I forgot about that something,” knocking on the door ten times you heard a response knock from the other side of the door and a bronze plaque pushed through the bottom of the door. “I needed to do my rounds for cleaning the school. I’m not going to tell you the full reason, but right now I’m just doing community service for the school since I was charged with… stuff.” He said while wiggling his fingers. You now asked who he is and why he’s telling you why he’s a janitor. “I’m telling you this as a way to lay everything out and not keep so many secrets. After all, I want to make the whole student teacher introduction to be a surprise.” Taking off the mask, shades, and cap you got a full look of what the janitor really looked like. Bright brown skin, white with some shades of grey with a goatee, and a large crooked smile the janitor grabbed and gave it a shake the proudly proclaimed. “My name is Mr. Cordelius D. Equus, but since we’ll be seeing each other more recently you can call me Discord.” After he said his name Discord bolted the plaque to the door and knocked on it again before it opened showing other students that were shouting, reading, and what looked like some of the students were playing video games on a giant flat screen TV made you wonder how this was a classroom. Turning his head back at you he said, “Welcome to art class.” Author's Note Sorry in advance, but then again when you are getting ready for finals and also graduation I tend to loose track of time. Either way, I hope you guys will like, comment, and favorite this story and follow me with new updates. Like always this is brotherhoof12 saying, "I am making a new story and I don't know when, but I will eventually publish it some time later." //-------------------------------------------------------// Teacher's lesson and other weird things //-------------------------------------------------------// Teacher's lesson and other weird things “Ok, Students, I like you all to meet the new kid” Your teacher said to half of the class paying attention and ignoring the other half that isn’t. “Hi, new kid.” The students who paid attention said to you. You told the teacher and the class what your real name is. “Yes, New kid, we know, but we made a vote on what to call you, so we decided to call you ‘New kid’.” Your teacher explained. You asked him when they made the vote. “Just before you told us your name, so, New kid, your seat will be with… her.” Pointing his right index finger at the corner of the class, you see a tall girl with wild short hair with a bit of purple in the front of her hair reading a book and another girl with wild unkempt lightning colored hair wearing a boy uniform trying to talk to her. “I’m sure you’re going to be fine.” With a pat on your back, you walked near the desk near the two girls and looked back to the front of the class room. “Ok, students, today we will be doing… um,” Mr. Discord went to his desk, pulled open a drawer, and picked up a pack of papers, looked at them, then tossed them into the nearest trash can and looked back at the class. “OK, students, by looking at the schedule given to me by our living nightmare of a principle, I decide to make a vote to either do a scavenger hunt or we can role play.” He said to the class. “I choose role play.” One of the students who you thought was not paying attention said out loud. “Me too, I choose role play.” Another random student said. “No, the scavenger hunt sound more interesting.” Said another voice, Soon after, all of the students started to burst into loud arguments about which activity we should do, after the loud argument half of the students on the left side decided on the scavenger hunt and the right side chooses the role play. Both sides were even and the only students are you, the girl with short hair who looks like she doesn’t want to be here, and the tomboy looking back and forth between the two groups. YOU looked back at the teacher that was reading an old magazine (with a naked lady on the cover) and asked him to sort the problem. “Huh, oh right, did you all decide on what to do?” He finally asked. With a simultaneous “No!” from both sides, Mr. Discord went back to his reading and also made the two groups go back to their arguing. “Psst, New kid,” Looking behind you, you see the tomboy waving her arms at you as a sign to go near her. Pushing your desk closer to her, she grabbed your arms and the other girl’s arm and raised both in the air. “Teacher, we all vote for the role playing activity!” She shouted. “Ok, sure.” He said while not looking up from his (porn) magazine. With that, the role playing group “Whoop” with joy, while the scavenger hunt group “Aww” at how they lost and can’t play the scavenger hunt. “Thanks for the help, New kid,” Punching your shoulder rather harshly the girl then patted your back and said her name. “The names Lightning dust, and the one behind me is Gilda.” After she said her name she pointed her finger at the Girl still not really caring at what is happening around her. You greeted her and told her your real name. “Don’t worry, New kid, your nickname fits your just fine.” Even when you told her your name, Lightning dust still calls you the New kid. “So, Class, the role playing will be using props and these little index cards with lines I just made a few minutes ago when all of you were arguing about what to do.” Mr. Discord had a giant stack of index cards in his left hand for all of us to read and act, but instead of giving it to us in an orderly fashion he decided to toss all of the cards into the air and let the cards scatter around the class. “I’m sure this is the better alternative, since it would be much more interesting if the main character is picked by random instead of some logical way of picking the right card.” He said with a crooked smile. With that said from the teacher, most every single student in the class started try and find the cards with the important roles, you were about to talk to the teacher when a single card lazily started to drift in your open hand. You flipped the card around and read the name of “Hero” at the top of the card. “Ding, ding, ding! We got our hero, boys and girls.” Reaching under his desk again, Mr. Discord pulled out a wooden sword and tossed in towards you. “Ok, kid, since the hero is picked all of you who has a card is now your role and no trading or trying to pick more on the floor. Ok, places everyone let’s get this play underway!” With quick motions of the students cooperating with each other, the entire class was replaced with a stage made up of desks and the entirety of student were dressed as normal citizens, criminals, and even some dressed up as police officers. “Hey, Hero, what are you standing here for?” Turning around, you see Lightning dust dressed in an overcoat with a police badge on the side pocket. You asked how all of them got dressed up and set up all of the decorations so quickly. “No time for that, you’re the hero and I’m the villain that tries to kill you.” After she said that, Lightning dust pulled out a plastic gun and pointed it directly at your head. “Now, put your hands up, you’re under arrest for the murder of a senior of your school and by hanging her on a telephone pole for everyone to see.” She said to you while pulling out a pair of hand cuffs from her other pocket. After a few seconds of silence, you decided to try and read the line that the card you had said. Hero’s line: You won’t get away with this; you have to follow the rules of this world. After you said your line a bit of your memories soon flooded your entire mind and causing you to remember why you are here. The real reason to why you are here is to find the next victim before their untimely demise. Just when you were about to call the teacher to excuse you from the class, another girl came and shoved Lightning dust away and set you free from your cuffs. “That’s enough, Dust, you’re going to jail for a long time.” Your rescuer said. Turning around to face her, you realized it’s the girl that was reading a book and was now wearing a long navy blue coat and a fake gun pointing directly at Dust. “Ha, ha, ha this world is already going to be consumed by shadows, you might as well give up.” Lightning said. Once again, you were struck by old memories of Inaba and your adventures leading to something similar to this. “What the heck are you doing, hurry and help me arrest her.” She said to you. “Do you really think that if you arrest me then all of this will be over? I’m just another obstacle to try and stop you, the real culprit is pulling all of the strings and you won’t ever find out the truth.” You were about to say another line from your card in order for Lightning to say more of her lines, when you heard the bell ring signaling you that class is over. “Ok, class, time to do some clean up, you all did good even though most of you were just some minor characters, but we will be doing another activity tomorrow, so go to your next class.” One by one each student dropped their index cards and props to the teacher’s desk. The only students who did not leave yet were you, Lightning dust, and the other girl. “Wow, time flies when you actual have fun at school.” Lightning said while taking off her fake badge. “Whatever, it’s not like the next class is going to be just at fun.” The other girl said. “Either way, it was fun playing actor with you, New kid.” Lightning said to you. “Yeah, I guess it was,” The girl with the purple tipped hair then reached her arm out to you and greeted you properly. “The names Gilda, forget it and your to regret it, dweeb.” She said with a lopsided grin. After you greeted her the three of you were about to exit the class, when the teacher called out your name making you stay and be left alone with the teacher in the classroom. You asked him why he called you. “Well, I just wanted to say that I hope that you can get more immersed with the class, I am sure you can make more friends that way.” After he told you what he wanted to say, Mr. Discord gave you a long sheet of paper and a black ink pen. “Now, this may sound odd, but it is mandatory for all the students of my class to sign this form.” He told you. Seeing as how you have no choice in the matter, you decided to sign it and then walked out of the classroom to get to your next class. “Wait, wait, wait I am not finished yet!” He shouted. Catching up to you in the hallway, he stopped you from walking and gave you a clean jumpsuit and a name tag with e name of ‘new kid’. You asked him why he gave you this jumpsuit and also how he was able to get you a nametag with your nickname on it even though you just enrolled here. “Well, for your first question, the paper you signed was a willing acceptation to do community service,” Waving his arms to the janitor uniform proved his point. “The second is that I somehow bought a name tag with the wrong spelling, so I just decided to give you the nickname as a way for me to not waste any more money.” As you were talking to your teacher the bell ringed and signaling you that you are now late for class. “Oh, don’t worry about the late bell, since you signed the paper your community hours start now, so get to cleaning.” He told you with a smile. You were about to ask more question when a thought popped in your head. With the excuse of being a janitor, you can explore the school and try and find out who could be the next victim before the next midnight channel will be aired. With a quick acceptance you began your community service as the janitor for the school. “Excellent, and don’t worry about your classes, I’ll take care of it just get to cleaning.” Mr. Discord said while waving you good bye. And so starts your community service. “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that you need to go to the back of the school to throw away some… and he’s gone. Hopefully the new kid heard me.” You did hear him, but you were too preoccupied to stop and listen when you already have too many things on your mind. The most bothering thought was how similar that small play you were in. You decided to ask your teacher after you taken care of your community service. [Back to the art room] *Phew* “Being a teacher is hard,” Discord said to himself. “Hopefully he can give a good grip on understanding this world.” Sitting back to his desk, Discord sorted out all the equipment left by the students and was about to fold all of the costumes when a mask that resembled Philemon’s mask. *Oops* “Glad he didn’t find this in the pile, now that would really spoil my identity.” Putting the mask back on his face, Discord snapped his fingers and the entire class room turned into a completely different reality. “Now, let’s see if he can handle the little scraps of trash I left behind the school.” Author's Note Sorry for the long wait and also, YAY for the summer break!~ just leave a like and fav on this story and don't forget to follow me for better updates on this and other stories i wrote. Like always this is brotherhoof12 saying, "WHOOOO SUMMER BREAK!" //-------------------------------------------------------// service to the community //-------------------------------------------------------// service to the community [Behind the school] You made your way to the back of the school to see what you need to handle to get the job finished early. The faster you work the more time you had to gather info of what this place holds. The back of the school was even better then the other high school where Sunset shimmer goes to. The grass looked clean cut, barley any noticeable trash, and the size of this field is able to have seprate areas for soccer, track, baseball, and even football! As much as you hate to say it, this school is leagues above Canterlot high. Heck, even where they drop off the food and where they dump the trash is all neat and clean, not a single scrap is on the ground. Which begs the question, why are you here if there is nothing really to clean! This place looks spotless, and even you spotted some students picked up trash that's not even theirs! What ever punishment the principle gives must instill some serious nightmares if they are like this. You shudder at what would happen if you were ever in that situation. You wonder why Mr. Discord would want you to be here. To show you a clue? Something that could help you solve the case? You really wish you had your friends here to help you, otherwise your you'll be stuck in the same spot until you thought up an answer. You were cut off from your thoughts when you heard loud banging noises in one of the dumpsters to your right. You step closer to find out what is causing it, but when you were about to open the lid a huge surge of black liquid shot out of the dumpster and landed behind you. The large blob of liquid black soon split into four smaller blobs that soon transformed in to the same enemies you fought before. Izanagi! Your arcana card appeared in front of you and with your right hand you crushed it to unleash your persona to summon 'zio' to inflict critical damage to one of the shadows. With one now vulnerable you gave the shadow a right kick making it skid acrioss the ground before it hit the dumpster 'causing it to soon evaporate from the damage you inflicted on it. Your glad you had the help of Chie for the training, You should remember to give her a call after you return back to Ponyville. You were about to finish the rest of the shadows of before you saw the rest of them fleeing. Sensing the danger of what would happen if other students were caught in the fight, you quickly ran to find the rest of the shadows and defeat them before any other students come across them and get seriously injured from the process. You can only hope that no other students will find them before you. [Roof of the school] Twilight can only skip and sequel in delight of what she's seeing. She was out on the roof top on her laptop typing away about what she discovered when she heard a loud noise coming from the back of the school. At first she thought it was just a bunch of hooligans messing around, but when she looked over the railing she spotted the new kid and what appears to be the same monsters from the video fighting him. You finally got to see it with your own eyes and you can even comprehend such an image you are witnessing. The new kid some how made a larger creature appear behind him and it shot lighting out of thin air! Even the new kid finished it of in one kick! Such a show made Twilight stunned before she grabbed her laptop and started to type about what she is seeing with her own eyes. As she was typing what was transpiring the corner of her left eye spotted the shadows fleeing after what happened to one of them making the new kid give chase. She can't let this happen! she has to follow him to make more data on what these beings are! She grabbed all her belongings and started to run to where they are going to. She had so many questions to ask and answers to be documented. Are they from another plain of existence? are they beings from space sent to us to judge if we are worthy to know they are among us? Or are they here to experiment on us and use us for cross breeding? Is the new kid one of them, or is he one of their experiments that turned against them and is now working with the government to stop these alien overlords!? Are any of these questions even related to science!!! Finally reaching the first floor, Twilight sprinted to the back of the school to see what happened, but when she finally made it to the back she was already gasping for breath and leaning on the wall for support from exhaustion. She hates physical fitness, preferring to not smell like she was her dog after he rolled in the trashcan, but what's more important then her own comfort zone is to try and find out what those things are and why the new kid is tied in all this. Twilight looked around to find nothing of interests until her eyes spotted small remains of the same black ooze of what appears to be the remains of the monster that the new kid killed. Walking with caution, Twilight observed as the ooze slowly evaporated in to thin air leaving just a small puddle of what just now looks like black sludge. Seeing as it no longer looks harmful she puled out a small test tube and a cotton swab from her lab coat pocket, took as much as she could from the dark slime and sealed in the test tube for further research. "What the heck is that girl doing?" Twilight stopped moving and listened to what appears to be students that caught her taking samples of the goo and are now talking behind her back. "What a weird girl. Why is she near a dumpster?" She heard another female voice and its just as condescending and mean. "Must be one of those special cases that got here 'cause she did something to be noticed, lets leave before she notices us." This time another voice spoke but had a deeper tone, but just as insulting. Tired of hearing such nonsense from them, Twilight ran from the opposite direction from where the new kid was going while clutching the tube that was holding the remains of the shadow creature. Her thought clouded by dark and negative thought made her loose focus on why she was there in the first place. They don't understand, no one does! Who needs people like them, they will just waste my time and my brain has more important business then to deal with hearing them prattle on. I don't need people, just myself, who needs people anyway. but at the same time she did not notice that the vile that she was holing in her hands that holds the small goo was moving and getting bigger by the second. [West wing of the school] Izanagi!!! Your persona swung his massive katana at a downward strike and split two shadows in one swing and causing them to immediately disperse in a cloud of dark gas, leaving only one shadow left for you to defeat. Izanagi!!! Zio!! With swipe from his katana, a bolt of lighting appeared out of no where to hit the last Shadow, but it soon dodged the attack and fled from you once again. You are now starting to get mad, if this keeps up you are sure to attract attention. The shadow was soon reaching the front of the school and you cant have that! You need a have one move that can kill it instantly before other students see it. Suddenly, you remembered a move that can do that for you, but you with so much energy wasted you can only produce one, you just pray that it can reach your target. Izanagi!!! Ziodyne!!! Izanagi twirled his staff katana above his head before he stabbed it into the ground and put both of his hands in front od him to summon his strongest lightning move. This time, the sky sounded of multiple cracks of thunder until a single beam of lightning rained down and hit the shadow dead center. You were about to send your persona back to it's arcana card before you saw the shadow emerged out of Ziodyne and into the trees. You were about to give chase again before you heard screams coming from where the shadow landed. You were about to give chase, but saw movement from the bushes, you were about to use cleave if the shadow survived, but when you saw two male student emerging out of the bushes you quickly dispersed Izanagi and ran to where the student came from. Walking past through bushes and trees you see a trail of black slime leading deeper into the woods. You want to think that it should be dead, but you also thought if there might be other students here that could also be in danger. You stopped thinking when you spotted a dark figure behind a tree, seeing as you can't summon your persona in a closed area you grabbed a dead branch from the ground a slowly creped towards the shadow to finish it off. As it was slowing rising you readied your swing to finish it off, but quickly dropped it to see that instead of a shadow it was Gilda lifting her re attaching her bra. "Motherfuckers, can't believe you talked me into this." She said angrily. Behind another large bush was Lightning dust fixing her hair and picking small leaves from it. "Hey, things were getting good before they left after something crashed next to us." She was about to say some more things before she spotted you standing behind Gilda. "Uh... Hey, new kid." She said with a crooked smile. As soon as she said that, Gilda shouted and quickly dressed her self and turned to look at you with crimson cheeks and a death glare. "What the hell are you doing here!?" She asked you. You told them you are doing community service and while you were doing your time you heard a large noise around here. "Huh, so Mr. D made another poor soul to do his dirty work." Gilda said while pulling back down her shirt. You asked her what she means. "What Gilda means, is that your doing his community service." Lighting dust spoke. "Yeah, you see, our teacher is not the most... respectable teacher." Gilda explained. You can see why, after all, after what you saw today your sure how most of his students act now. "You see how our school is all clean and pristine? He thought up a way that he can use his students to do the cleaning of the school, saying that its for extra credit or some other extra curricular bullshit any way to shave of his own community hours." You ask them how its possible. "Yeah, I know why you would think that there should be the big bad nightmare to handle his crazy thinking, but apparently she got swept up in his crazy scheme, so now she gives out cleaning duty if we ever start ruining the school grounds." Gilda said. "Yeah, so if you start littering, tagging the school, and damage school property you start doing extra community service." That explains why the school is so clean, because the students clean there messes and they don't want to do extra work around the school. "You got community service, but usually you get it if you caused some trouble, so you must of done something bad on your first day to get this." Lighting dust told you. You were about to ask more questions until you heard loud strange noises coming further in the woods. Finally getting back to business, you were about to go handle the situation, but both your arms were grabbed by Gilda and Dust making you stop in your tracks. "Woah, woah, woah! You need to slow your row, dude." Lightning dust told you. "Yeah, I mean, do you watch horror movies? Your not supposed to go to where strange noises are made from out of no where... without back up." Gilda told you while taking out a cylinder handle out of her pocket. With just a flick of her wrist the cylinder became a metal police baton. "Yeah, and don't forget to bring a weapon too." Lightning dust said while whipping out a butterfly knife. You told them that this is unnecessary. "Bullshit, I'm betting whatever what's making that noise is also the one that cause that sudden disturbance that ruined my play time." Gilda told you. You were about to tell them again when out of the trees and bushes came the shadow now using it's remaining strength to take you down. "What the hell!!" Lightning dust shouted before dodging from the shadows massive tongue. "Bastard!!!" Gilda ran behind the shadow and swung her baton downward for it to only to make it stop attack her friend and now setting its sights on her. "AH CRAP!!" With her weapon useless against it, Gilda started to use the tress as cover from the shadow's onslaught of attacks. "What the actual fuck is that thing!" Lightning dust shouted at you. You decided to give her a short version of what that things is and how her weapons won't effect it. "What the hell are you talking about?" She asked you with a confused expression. You tried to calm her down, but you heard Gilda scream out of pain that snapped the both of you to see the shadow's tongue wrapped around and constricting her 'causing her to scream in pain. "Gilda!" Lightning dust ran towards the shadow and plunged her knife to only be knocked back by the shadow. Lightning dust groaned in pain when her back hit the tree, but she tried to get back up even when it caused her great pain. As Lighting tried to get back up, the shadow continued to finish it's business by squeezing the life out of Gilda... until It's tongue was chopped off by a large katana making the shadow spew black blood and shaking in severe pain. With Gilda now free she unwrapped the large muscle around her and started to take deep breaths for more oxygen. She looked at you with wide eyes to see the large figure behind you with it's katana dripping with black blood from the shadow. "What the hell? What the hell are you?" Gilda asked you in a panic. You ignored her and focused your attention on the shadow still writhing in pain. With the shadow down on the ground Izanagi plunged his sword through its mouth making it stop moving and turned to black sludge that soon evaporated into the air. You let out a huge sigh that you didn't know you held and sealed your persona back in it's arcana card and disappeared in your palm of your hand. You token care of the shadows, but now you need to handle how you can explain to them what you did and why. "Hey, new kid." Turning around to see Lightning finally standing up and looking better she helped Gilda up by leaning her on her shoulder and looked back at you with an unreadable expression. "You... were AWSOME!!!" Lightning dust shouted before dropping Gilda and started complementing you. "You were absolutely cool! That giant that killed that thing, you can control it?! Can you make it lift a car, slice a building, can it do your homework?!" Lighting dust kept shouting about what your persona can do before Gilda covered Lighting's hands making her stop talking. "Whatever you did and whatever that thing was you better give some explanation on is happening." You decided that it should be better to tell them then lie to their faces, after all you learned that making friends can make the most dark times a bit more bearable. You just hope that your other new friends are handling better then you are. [Sunset's school] Sunset was not handling the situation her and her friends are having. Since she came to school today there have been an uproar of this new viral video that has been on everyone's phones, laptops, and above all else is that Sunset can only think of one person who uploaded the video. "Pinkie!" Sunset shouted her name causing the pink haired girl to look out of her locker to see her friend glaring at her. "Oh Hi Shimmer!" Pinkie smiled at her. "Do you see everyone talking about what you recorded on your phone? That video is spreading like wild fire!!" Sunset said while also making sure no one was listening in on their conversation. "I'm sure he doesn't want to have his identity already know so soon!" "Well I did record that awesome fight, but since I did that awesome singing I only recorded the shadows fighting that giant sword guy." Pinkie told her. Sunset was glad for that, but she still did not like it if the whole school knows about it. She just hope that what ever is going to happen to her school she just hope that the students won't be caught in the crossfire because of it. "Any way, I'm texting everyone to meet me at where I work to talk to him about what we can do to help." Sunset pulled out her phone and texted the time to meet at the food court, she would hate for him to do this alone, so she and her friends can do whatever they can to help. She just hoped that know one else discovers his secret before it all gets out of hand. Author's Note Hello everyone, not much happing in my life, but just doing work, waiting for the dark souls 3 dlc, and planning to go on vacation in a couple of months. Other chapter will happen to my other stories, but I don't know when it will start. Either way I hope this chapter gets some good comments, likes, and favs. Like always this is Brotherhoof12 saying "To say Thank you for everyone for everything." //-------------------------------------------------------// Leaving Early //-------------------------------------------------------// Leaving Early The day could not get anymore interesting for you since you saved your two classmates from a runaway shadow. After your little revelation about shadows and persona they immediately wanted to know even more things about you. Your not sure if you want to tell them that you are from another world and how you entered there world through a large TV screen from Junes where Sunset Shimmer work at. So in the end you just told them that your parents travel a lot and you are now living here for a year. Hey, it's not a lie, nor is it the truth either. After your explanation the two decided that school was the least of their problems and decided to give you the tour around town. You asked them that being late for class was not a good impression on the first day, but when Gilda replied she told him. "After what just happened, school is the least of our worries, so just shut it and get in the car." The three of you were now in the school parking lot with not a single person around except you, Lighting, and Gilda walking to her car. Every car had a bland or dulled color, but her car looked like she just bought it recently. Bright red car paint with a fire bird symbol on the hood of the car, no scratches or dents on it either, even the tires looked new making you wonder how she can afford such a car. "This baby of mine is my pride and joy." Gilda told him and from the sound of her voice she means it. "She treats it like her baby, it may look new but she had this all the way to middle school." Lighting dust informed you. I want my car to always look the best, I mean look at these cars," She waved her hands around to emphasize how all the other cars looked either old or beaten with some having some parts almost falling to pieces. "I'm not just gonna let my car fall to pieces like their owners do, if I want to look badass my car has to look badass too." A bit vain, but it does remind you of Yosuke and how he wanted to get a motorcycle thinking it would be easier to get girls. It really didn't help, but it did make travel easier for you and your friends to travel around town. "Hey, new kid," Lighting interrupted your thoughts and looked at you with a serious expression etched in her face. Whatever is on her mind she wants to tell you now rather then later. "About those 'personas' do you think we can get one too?" "Seriously? I mean yeah, it looks pretty badass to have something like that in the palm of your hands, but I don't want to deal with that shadow monsters." Gilda said. You tell them that all humans posses the ability of persona and it varies on what that wielder perceives as their persona. "Really!?" Lighting and Gilda said at the same time. "So we do have persona, but we don't know how to use them?" Gilda asked you. "Can we have multiple personas?" Lighting asked with even more excitement. You shake your head at her answer and to show her why you lifted you hand and summoned your arcana, The Wild Card. This was your arcana, the first card that saved you and your friends on the first encounter with shadows. You tell them that your arcana can be multiple personas meaning you wield a vast majority within you. People have the ability to have persona, but they can only have one persona. "That's a bit over powered if you ask me and also a bit unfair." Gilda told you while unlocking her car. As she was inserting her keys you entered the back of her car and Lighting sat in the front seat. As the engine roared to life you looked to the school and wondered if you can just decline her offer and finish the rest of school, Then you remembered that you still need to go back home and immediately felt your head slam in the seat when Gilda hit the gas peddle and her zoomed out of the parking lot and in to the open road leading to Junes. You asked her if she is just driving a little to fast. "Fast? New kid you haven't seen how fast this baby can go." Using her right hand she changed gears and the car became twice as fast making you immediately reach for your seat belt. The drive to Junes was quick making you glad the ride was over, but you cant help but notice that no cop pulled Gilda over for her driving making you think that the place does not have a high crime rate. "Here we are New kid, now lets get something to eat I'm craving something fierce." Gilda said while rubbing her stomach to show how hungry she is. You wonder if Sunset and her friends are also here, but with how the time is still early in the afternoon you can assume they are still at their school. So the only thing you can do for now is spend some time with your new two friends you made today. As you spent time with Lighting and Gilda you cant help but see that the Junes in this world is the same Junes at Ponyville. Now that you think about it, most of the buildings and places almost look identical to Ponyville only that they all are altered for modern buildings in the human world. After spending some time with Gilda and Lighting you were able to know a little about the. Gilda is the daughter of the police chief which make more sense with how we did not get caught with speeding and Lighting is the daughter of the new mayor of this town making you immediately thinking about the murder in the pony world. You should have guessed that if something happened in the pony world then that it would be the same in the shadow world. You were about to ask her more on what happened to the previous mayor before you heard a group of familiar voices coming from behind you. Turning your head you spotted Sunset Shimmer with the rest of her friends. Your were about to call out her name before you were interrupted when both Gilda and Lighting dust stood up in their seats and gave them threatening glares. "Well what do we have here, Rainbow crash and her lackeys, finally setting your standards even lower by working here?" Gilda spoke with enough venom in her voice that made even you notice the hostility between the two. "I'm here to hang out with my friends, but apparently you don't know that." Rainbow dash said while her friends behind her backed her up by also glaring at Gilda and Lightning dust. You can see there is some tension between these two and you were about to speak your mind before Pinkie somehow appeared behind you and wrapped her arms around you and gave you a hug. "Hey, I can't believe we found you this quickly. We thought we had to find you at your school, but now that your here we can do all sorts of neat stuff!" Pinkie said while still hugging you. "Hey, lay off our friend! You don't know him like that, right New kid?" Lighting spoke to you. Again you were about to answer until the girl with the cowboy hat, Applejack if you remembered, cut you off. "Just because ya'll are at the same school doesn't mean you and him are friends." For awhile it has been constant stream of insults and shouting from the group of girls until just gave up and walked back to the electronics section of the store. The TV that you entered was at Sunset's school doesn't mean you can at least see if any other TV could lead you back home. You were glad that you did not tell Gilda or Lighting that you wanted to go to Sunset's school, apparently they had some bad blood between them before you arrived with how loud they are shouting at each other proved. Each TV screen could lead to another part of your world. It was an inconvenience that the TV you entered was bought by those principle siblings. You were hoping that maybe another TV could lead back to Ponyville , or maybe it might lead you in another town miles away from where your home is. The thought of returning home is the on the top of your list of priorities, but also being in another place with no idea where you are is also on top of your list of what not to do when trying to traversing between worlds. Your thinking was interrupted when you heard their arguing became louder and louder until you could practically hear it from behind your back. Turning your head you found out that they are behind you still shouting at each other. "Why are you following us, go home already!" Gilda said to Rainbow dash. "Why are you following us, we just want to talk to our friend is all." She replied with just the same amount of venom Gilda was giving her and her friends. "Why do you need to talk to him for, he has a life that doesn't involve all of you." Gilda told her. When she was finally next to you she grabbed your arm and pulled you to her side. "Come on new kid, we are leaving this place." Gilda was only able to take three steps before your opposite arm was grabbed by Rainbow dash with a determined look in her eyes. "He is coming with us, without the two of you." She told Gilda and gave a forceful pull making you lurch to her side. You are guessing the reason why is to tell you about the TV at her school and that he needs to be there, you also thought why she is being so forceful, but a swift tug from Gilda gave you that answer. "We need him for some help, but we don't need you." Rainbow said with a growl. "Oh I see, when your done needing his help you cut him loose right? Yeah that's some friendship right there." Gilda tried to tug on your arm to lead you away from the rest of the group, but the grip from Rainbow still stayed strong and clamped on your arm making you wince from the force she is putting. "That's not like that!" Rainbow shouted and tightening her grasp on your arm. Bothe girls kept pulling at your arms in opposite directions making you believe that they might tear two until you heard a familiar voice shouted behind Gilda. "What is going on here?!" Button's mom screamed. Not Button's mom you know back in your world, but the human version standing in front of you wearing long black pants, a long sleeved button up white shirt, but the most important item on her is the gold badge pinned on her chest, oh and the gun holstered on her belt adds to your assumption that she works for the police. "I got a call about a disturbance and what do I see? just some girls fighting over a boy, talk about cliché you girls need to think if he is worth it if you at doing something this stupid." She said to both Gilda and Rainbow still holding on to your arms. Realizing what they were doing both girls let go of your arms making you glad that it was over, but now you need to deal with the officer standing in front of you and to make it even weirder is Button's mom in human form. Her stare left you speechless and nervous a complete 180 turn on the motherly and caring nature she had when you first met her in Ponyville. Her stare stayed for a couple of seconds before she closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose before speaking again. "Just leave this store and don't make this any more troublesome, especially you Gilda." She pointed her finger at her as a warning. "I won't tell your dad about this, so just leave and cool you head." After that she turned around and left your group with and awkward slice hanging in the air. You were rubbing your arm from the intense tug of war before another set of arm grabbed you hand and dragged you away from Gilda and Lighting. Turning your head it was Sunset Shimmer pulling you to her group while everyone was distracted from the police officer telling them to leave Junes. "We got him girls!" Sunset Shimmer said while still having a hold on you. "Hey, what the hell are you doing!" Lighting was the first to respond to what was happening and was about to stop her until a cloud of smoke appeared out of know where making your vision limited to what's happening around you. "I got them distracted!!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "That's great darling, but now we can't see either!!" You heard Rarity's disembodied voice shout out. You tried to walk out of the cloud of smoke with Sunset and trying to call her friend's names to follow, but before you could take a couple of steps you noticed a shadowed figure getting bigger and bigger. You tried to squint your eyes to get a better focus, but they soon widened when Applejack appeared out of the smoke and crashed head first into you. She must have followed Sunset's voice and ran towards which followed by her bumping in to you and making you loose balance. You took five uneasy steps backwards before you turned you head to see what your going to bump in to. what was behind you was a large TV screen the same size as the first one you entered but the difference is the brand name saying 'crystal TV' on the bottom of the TV frame. You tried to grab on to something but what your grabbed was Sunset Shimmer the only one that was close to you, instead of stopping your mid fall you dragged her in the TV screen with you. "Not again!" As you both descended inside the TV screen, your last thought was that you hope that this TV we lead you some where close to home. [Your world] "Ugh, my head. Hey! open your eyes you better see this." You opened your eyes to see Sunset in pony form with a worried look on her face looking down on you. You told her that you are fine and that made her smile that you are ok and gave you a helping hoof to get you off the cold floor. You grabbed her hoof and thanked her for the help, after patting the dust from the floor off your clothes you took the sight to see where you are. You can already tell that this place is a bedroom, from the large bed with fancy bed sheets to the large window doors leading to a balcony. This place screamed royalty and you wondered if you are even remotely close to home. "We should not be here, we need to leave now!" Sunset was already half way to the screen you two entered until you both froze when you heard multiple hoof steps getting louder and louder. You quickly followed her to the TV and helped her enter the screen when you heard a door knob click and the large door open to saw a white unicorn next to a pink pony sporting both wings and a horn adding a tiara on top of her head made you instantly assume you just trespassed in their room. "What the heck are you doing in our room!?" The male unicorn shouted. You looked to the screen to see Sunset already on the other side and was about to join her when the TV was engulfed in some blue light and was floating in the air making your exit unusable. You soon realized that since you no longer have a means of escape you decided to face the problem head on and resolve this peacefully. As you were about to tell them you side of the story you were hit by a blue bolt of magic straight to your face making you see stars before your eyes closed a second time today. The only thing on your mind is how can you explain this when you get home and how mad Button's mom will be. Author's Note Hey, how is everyone? I have been wanting to make this chpater cause i like this story. I also liked the video game NIOH! i got for my birthday and have been playing. I did not forget about this story so here is another chapter. Hope you all like it! Like always this is Brotherhoo12 saying, "Happy to all single awarness day!" //-------------------------------------------------------// The Velvet Room //-------------------------------------------------------// The Velvet Room You were caught when Yosuke was playing with fake weapons at Junes from Inaba and thankfully uncle Dojima released you with a slap on the wrist for that silly incident. Now, you are currently in a interrogation room full of cameras watching your every move with armed guards outside ready to subdue you if need be. You can't blame them for this much force of power you did get caught inside the room of royalty and not just any royalty, but the rulers if the crystal kingdom led by Princess cadence and her husband Prince Shining armor. From one small crime last year to a major offence this year, you begin to worry of the next time you get caught with a crime it will probably lead you to your death. You also begin yo worry about Sunset and her dilemma, she told you before she did not want to be seen here, but now not only is she here, she is where Princess Twilight first discovered the world behind the mirror, so you probably can guess she will soon get wind of this and will immediately arrive here for answers as to why she is here and why a strange human was accompanying her. You thought were cut short when the doors opened to see and armed human and crystal pony guard enter first before stepping aside to make way to both rulers of the crystal kingdom, following them is a human female wearing a clean pressed suit with a sleek black suit case to probably sent by earth government to ask why a human was trespassing in a high level castle like this. You know both worlds don't want to step on any toes, but with you found in their castle, in their own room especially, you can see how this will look to the inhabitants of this world as show of assassination, but that is just the paranoia in your head speaking of hypotheticals, for now you will just sit, listen and answer when necessary. It worked with you in Inaba, so it should work with you here now. The first to speak was the human, she pulled a this white folder from her brief case and set across the table in front of you then proceeded to speak to you. "You were found in the royal couple's room around 12pm with another pony they know, Sunset Shimmer is in interrogation room 2 already questioned only leaving you." You were glad that she is fine, but you are worried that she will be in more trouble then you are. "What troubles me more is that you were caught in the royal couple's room having being charged with trespassing in the highest degree involving royalty and in a foreign planet." Her face inched a bit closer to you with a fierce glare to match the scary gaze she was giving you more weight in her next question. "How were you able to get in this castle and who do you work for?" You lifted your eyebrow at the question she gave you an decided to tell her you do not work for anyone. Apparently your answer had no effect on her as she immediately replied to your answer. "I highly doubt you were able to get into there room without a little help, you were even caught stealing a TV rather then anything valuable in the room." The women leaned her face closer to you as if she can see your intention written on your face for the crime you committed. She can glare at you all day you would not break that easily, you face worse, you even created personas far more terrifying to be scared of this woman. "Now, why would you risk your yourself just to reach for a simple plasma flat screen and not anything else?" That question has an answer, but your will probably lead to more questions asking if you escaped an insane asylum. After all, you spoke the truth to your uncle and he did not believe you, so it's an even lower chance for her to believe you fell out of the TV. "I see your silence means you have to excuse to give yourself." You showed only a fraction of surprise before you went back to your emotionless face, it seems you were thinking to much that you lost track of time. "This is going no where." The one that spoke was the female pony next to the male unicorn, if the crown on her head shows anything she is probably the monarch of this kingdom meaning the pony next to her is the prince. Leaning closer to the female persecutor the princess whispered in in ear before she nodded her head at the request, put all her belongings away and left the room. As soon at she left the princess turned her head to you and gave you a kind smile to assure you that you are not in trouble making you ease a bit when she started to talk to you. "Forgive her, she is just trying to make sure that no trouble between us will cause too much trouble, especially the news, we just want answers on how you got in our rooms." you decided to steer this conversation and ask to know how your friend is doing. "Oh! right, she's doing fine, she's actually waiting for you to finish this talk before you both go back to your world." She told you, but immediately caught on to what she said making you ask the form the next question. My world? "Yes, she told me you are from the world where my sister-in-law went when trouble had to be resolved with a certain incident with my kingdom." She explained. So, she thinks that your from the shadow world and they believe what Sunset was telling them. Well you can see the logic in that, you don't want them to know your actually from this plane of reality since you just met them, also you want to keep a low profile for now before you can start trusting these ponies. For now you just let them accept what Sunset told them and played along on whatever they have in stored for you. "Maybe it would be best to let the mirror be with Twilight, she would have more use for it then let it collect dust in our castle." The princess told her husband. The male unicorn put his hoof under his chin to think about the idea before putting his sights in you again. As if trying to see into your self you just stared blankly ahead allowing him to read what ever he may think who you are, let me come to conclusions you just want this day to be over and get back home. "Hmm... I think my sister can handle this problem, we already have enough trouble in our hoofs already." As if that sentence held meaning the princess nodded at his response and faced you again. "We'll be happy to let you and Sunset Shimmer out of this place and back to your world, you'll just have to be patient." She said with a grimace. What do you mean? "You see, with so many humans coming in our kingdom, there has been some unrest with then crystal ponies." She looked at her husband to see if it is alright to tell you their problems. Her husband inched close to her and gave her a small kiss as a sign to tell her to keep going. "They are afraid that so many humans are coming in their will be few places to make a home and less job opening for themselves, there has been some unrest between the two races, but we are trying to make as many possible avenue's for all making a home in my kingdom." Your really not surprised about so many humans coming here. With so many people on earth it was always a problem in may countries on population rate always increasing every day. With this place so vast it was only a matter of time before many humans could afford to move here, but at the same time those who can't are still able to afford to live in vacant homes now with most leaving for better lives here. Then again, that is a plus for your world not this world, with such an influx of people its going to cause both rise and fall on this kingdoms economy in the near future. "We'll make sure that you leave safely and without any more problems, I'm sure Sunset will be happy to know that you both are not in trouble." Looking to her husband he walks to the door and used his magic to the door and waited for his wife to leave first then followed suit having his magic close his door behind him. After they left the two guard waited a couple of minutes before leaving as well though they probably left the room and are now guarding outside the room making sure no one else can enter. You now sit in silence waiting for when they can release you, pondering what Sunset is doing right about know. You imagine what your uncle and cousin would say if they found out your in holding again, if this keeps up you might get a criminal record in no time, that would be weird when you start school here. With so much going on in your life already you begin to let your mind wander out of control, unable to reel it back your imagination begins form there own shapes as blue butterflies flapping there small wings leaving sparkling dust that soon vanishes when they touch the ground. This what happens when you don't control your mind and loose your focus, the sea of your souls leaks out when ever that happens. No one can see what you can do, it started when you defeated Izanami-no-okami that you fully unlocked your true potential by being the wielder of The World. You can feel it, you souls was just a single entity before, but now you feel vast space within you, even now you feel more then just your soul within you mortal body the seas of souls was nothing more then a large lake when you were a just a simple Fool fighting your way in the shadow world. Now, that lake has become a vast sea with no signs of ever shrinking and no stop of gaining new beings residing within your psyche. You quickly shake your head to make you focus on what is in front of you, The butterflies are in the dozens and quickly flutter around you like a moth ensnared by the light before they all landed around you making it seem as if you are wrapped in a blue blanket. "Heh, heh, heh. My, my, it seems you are getting used to what you now posses." An all to familiar face started to appear right across from you, his signature grin getting wider just as you remembered when ever something interesting occurs. The butterflies fly towards him and flying in a circle each flapping theirs wings in perfect synchronization as they rotate around him. Igor lifted his right hand signaling the first butterfly the land in open palm of his hand, soon the next one landed but instead of landing next to the first butterfly they merged together. Each and every Butterfly landed on Igor's hand and each time all of them merged into one single creature before Igor put his right hand faced down with the insect underneath. Igor then swiped his right hand in a wide arc rather then smearing bug guts it was instead the arcana, the cards of fate that told you your journey from the beginning. Arranging them all over the table, Igor flipped each card face up before chuckling under his breath then raised his gaze on to you. "Many journeys have an end to each being, but I have never witnessed one to repeat their journey, especially one who has peaked my interest." Closing his eyes Igor seemed to remember a distant memory long past before he opened his eyes again to gaze at you with a gleam in his eyes. "Many have wielded power like you have, but to have this much control in such a short time? Remarkable, simply remarkable you have been most entreating to watch." You ask him how you are able to be here. "You are the reason I am here." As soon as he said that he made a small chuckle before looking back at the arcana on the table. "You, who holds The World have in your grasp dream and reality, mind and matter, as such you perception of these are blurred not seeing black or white, but a variety of colors." To prove his point the rooms walls soon turned to a color you are so very familiar dye themselves in an instant, the chairs and table soon change too leaving a very furnished table and cushioned seats with gold trimmings making it look like you are in a waiting room. "You are no longer in a contract with the Velvet room, but you can still call forth this place whenever you need help." If that is true, you ask him why he did no show up when he was in trouble. "That is a good question, my friend. As you know, me and my assistant, Elizabeth, are being beyond the scope of reality that not many can say they exist. The man you saw is another of such a being. He will be a guide in the other world while me and my assistant will help you here when ever you call upon us." You ask if you it signing a contract with Igor should be the best course of action. "You no longer need such a thing, we have already completed your contract and doing so again will only make it difficult to complete the first. After all, having so many contracts can leave you in a spot of trouble, heh, heh." You can see the logic in that response, but you soon hear footsteps followed by horse shoes making you getting closer and closer to the door making you lose focus of what's in front of you. "Till we meet again, my most interesting guest. Heh, heh." Soon Igor faded away and as if sensing his disappearance the velvet room soon changed back into the normal room you were just in a few moments ago making it seem you were just sitting in your chair just staring into space. The guards entered first, each getting in their corner facing you, then came the royal couple taking the normal chairs in front of you. They both looked at each other for a moment before the princess started the conversation. "We decided that we can solve this without to much political problems, we can just say that you were a tourist that got separated from your group. I know it sounds far fetched but for now that is the cover up we decided to use." It seems logical for the most part, but you can see that some people will poke holes in that theory, people always thinks different ways on how this is a cover up, some more then others, you can only hope you can leave this place without to much fuss. Of course there is just one or two problems that need to be discussed, the royal couple can say all they want to you, but the two guards standing behind them still makes you uncertain of the idea. "I can see from your expression you don't trust our guards, you don't have to worry these are the closest friends that we trust that deal with magic accidents such as these. In fact they have been in so many magic related accidents that it becomes second nature, right guys?" The prince asked them before receiving nods of agreement. "So you see, we can have this covered quite quickly when we need to on our side, but we need you to make sure it won't happen on your side." The princess told you in a serious tone. "Magic does not work the same here that's what we learned from Sunset shimmer, we want only a few people from your world to learn about magic. The more people know the more likely people will get injured, Sunset has friends familiar with magic so they can fill you in on the details when you get back so you don't need to worry about questions." The princess said to you. You can only nod and accept their reason, for now, what is more important is that you need to get back home. Which remind you... What time is it? "The time is 5pm, I already sent word to my sister about this dilemma and we will send the mirror to her castle for safe keeping. Said the prince. Your immediately let out a sigh knowing you will get an earful from Button's mom, hopefully you can get just a few weeks of being grounded. "I'm sure we already had enough time talking about the situation, we should get home before your family gets worried." The princess then extended her hoof as a sign of friendship in hope that they did not leave to bad first impression with you. Any other person would still be mad and probably hold a grudge, but your not any of those people you are Yu and you gave the princess a firm hand shake then let go of her hoof not wanting the hand shake to last to long. "If you follow my husband he will escort you to your friend and don't worry I'm sure this will blow over soon." You were about to leave your chair when the princess spoke up again. "And don't worry about our Ms. Neiijima, she is just mad that her boss moved her here rather then staying in japan. They had to mover her promotion too since the paperwork takes longer to be delivered here." She explained to you. You wonder if she will become a common thing if ever you visit this place. Planning to think about this later you followed behind the prince to meet your friend and get back to her world. You just hope that your aunt can be lenient with you when you get back home. You turned your head to see that the princess did not follow you to meet with Sunset, she must have decided to leave to deal with Ms. Neiijima about the situation you are in so you decided to focus on the task at hand. It took you about a few minutes of silence when you were stopped by the prince to open the door with his magic and motioned you to get inside. Nodding your head in thanks you entered the room to spot Sunset Shimmer next to what appears to be a large mirror in the center of the room. "Your back!" Sunset trotted close to you and then proceeded to left her upper body to give you a hug. Your ok with physical contact like this, Nanako always seemed to brighten your day when ever she give you a hug now and then it's just as soon as she was done she did not go back to being on four legs but with great balance she was standing on her hind legs causing your eyes to widen from the sight. Noticing your surprise she went back to being on four legs and moved her head to the side while her cheeks became red from embarrassment. "I got used to standing on two legs I almost forgot I should being walking on four, your not the only one surprised when I was walking here using my hind legs." She chuckled to dissipate her awkwardness she created. Seeing her act like this made you gently stroke her head out of instinct causing her to become stiff from the sudden act before getting comfortable with your hand on her head. This was also something you did when ever you visit the shrine to do request to help the fox. You wonder if your friends are making sure the shrine completes requests before they start to pile on, you even wonder if the fox is helping your friend complete said requests. Taking your hand away from her head you then proceeded to walk in front of the mirror and placed your hand on the reflection. At first nothing happened but soon your hand started to sink in to the other side of the mirror, but before you did you made sure you looked at Sunset and asked her if you she needed anything from here before going back home. "No, I just need to make sure our friends are ok, don't want them to panic for to long." Taking a step away from the mirror you allowed her to enter the mirror leaving you and the prince alone. Thank you for the help. "No worries, if you ever stumble your way here again you'll probably see my sister, Twilight Sparkle, that can help you and you can't miss her too she has the same appearance as my wife." Nodding your head you finally entered the mirror and was welcomed to see Sunset being hugged by all her friends in front of her school. You looked at the sky to see the sun already setting making you assume school has been over for quite some time. You thought that you can only use a TV, but with this mirror is could prove a better means of transportation, but then you realize where the mirror will made you prefer the use of what you already know. Thinking about transportation you were about walk away from Sunset's friendship moment when you were stopped by Gilda and Lightning with a look of worry from the both of them. You were about to say your ok when Gilda punched your shoulder making you wince from the pain and then winced again when Lighting punched your other shoulder. "You dick!" Screamed Gilda. "Thanks for making us worry!" Lightning shouted at you and was about to punch you again when Sunset and her friends stepped in to stop your own friendship moment. "Why are you guys here? Your friend returned so you guys don't need to worry about the new kid." Gilda said still holding some anger in her voice. "We just wanted to take him home." Sunset told her while holding back Rainbow from saying anything that might set off a fight. "We can take him home ourselves, come on new kid tell us where you live and we can drop you off." Asked Lightning taking Gilda's side and away from the rest of the group. Deciding to tell them the truth you told them where you live and how to get there, to say they looked surprised was an understatement after their first reaction to how you and Sunset went through a TV they looked even more shocked to know your not even from the world, or in a better term not in this plain of existence. "Holy crap... YOUR AN ALIEN!!!!" They both shouted. What?.... An alien? "I can't believe your an alien, new kid!" Lightning shouted while the rest of your friends gave you looks of pity. You've been called sensei, dude, bro, but being called an alien just made top of your list of names. "That explains why there is so many freaky things happening around here, is it because your a good alien fighting other aliens because they want to rule the world?" She asked you rising interest in her voice. "Ok, ok, ok! Hold up! Anything else your not telling us, new kid?" Gilda asked you with a slight fear in her voice rather then awe from Lightning. You told them how you got here and why, since they already saw what happened it only seems fare to tell them. After all you made your friendship with stable trust then deceit making your bonds hold strong even beyond space between you and your friends from Inaba. They both stood in complete silence after you finished your story, they looked at each other for a brief moment before they grabbed your shoulder and gave you a look of profound respect and acceptance. "Man, your hardcore, new kid." Gilda told you and giving you a strong pat on the back. "Respect, new kid, respect." Lightning You feel a strong bond from them after they heard your tale, you must say that this world your in gives you fast friends. "Ok, ok, we get it you guys he's pretty cool, now can ya'll let him go home now!" Applejack said finally getting tire of them. "Hey! We're having a moment here so stuff it." Gilda shouted at them. You were? Your just waiting for them to calm down so you can leave and go home for today. Speaking about going home you reached in your pocket to see your phone showing you it's 7pm making your hope to be home in time die in your mid and replacing it with your aunt grounding you. Both your friends saw your dismay and decided to cut short their argument with the rest of the girls and told you they will see you again at school tomorrow. Seeing you might be grounded will cause problems, but your still gave them a nod of acceptance you waved them good buy an proceeded to follow Sunset and her friends to your TV that leads to your town. Hopefully in your absence nothing out of the ordinary will catch you by surprise. ....now that you think of it, your sure something will happen tomorrow, after all your life seems to always catch unwanted attention. The only question is... which type of attention will have their eyes on you first. [Crystal Empire] You are the princess of love, you are also an alicorn a rare and powerful species that can only be counted by one human hand. Your also a wife married to the sweetest stallion and also a loving mother with an adorable (and mane pulling) baby daughter, Flurry heart, that is also a baby alicorn. You fought changelings, the cruel King Sombra, Turek, and even survived Discord's wild antics. You dealt with many powerful godlike beings, but when you dealt with your new visitor from where Sunset now lives made you rethink on what really counts as godlike. That boy, whoever... whatever he was made you think he's not just some civilian that stumbled in this world. He just seemed so normal, like he's just there a part of the background. It just made your heart break seeing a boy so young lost in this world, so when you told him they will send him home he seemed very grateful to return for the act of kindness. You though that was the end of the problem and gave him a hoofshake and a fond farewell, but as soon as his hand connected to your hoof you felt as though Aunt Celestia was right in front you giving you the hoof shake and not just her either. You felt the presence of Aunt Luna, your Sister-in-Law Twilight, Discord, even yourself for crying out loud! The Sun, The Moon, Magic, Chaos, and Love was within this young child, but not just those either, it was just a small time for the connection but she was able to feel more power hidden between the veil he was using to make him seem ordinary. What is he hiding? that question made your head hurt trying to wrap the notion that within his very soul is something even more interested in what he's hiding. "I finally got our daughter to come down and the mirror is sent to my sister, it should arrive tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Said your loving husband before looking concerned at what is in front of you. "You've been staring at that paper for a while now, are going to write to Twily or not?" That's another problem you're having, you don't know how to write Twilight a letter about you meeting someone that could be even more powerful then any one of them combined. You know she will write you a dozen letters about what happened but you already know the answer you'll give. Nothing. You have no words to describe what he was and what he represents. He could be a blessing in disguise or a curse about to fall upon both your world and the human world. Thinking about this made you decide to send this letter to someone with more experience with this situation then twilight and her friends could handle. With the flick of your magic a floating pen was above the blank sheet of paper and you began to write a letter that could easily be the most important letter for not only your kingdom, but the entire plane of existence. "Dear Aunt Celestia..." [OMAKE] The school's cafeteria was the most clean and orderly mess hall you ever seen, you should know since you always went school to different school most of your life. The place was full of many groups you always find like the jocks, the pretty girls, the nerds, the skaters, and even more groups you lost count after you spotted a group that looked like they escaped the 90's. You kept looking all around you that you accidentally bumped into a random stranger causing you to automatically apologies for your mistake. "No problem." The male student said while not looking at you before pulling out a small music player from his pocket, pressed a button, and looked behind him to know who bumped into him. Silver eyes met your dull grey ones both of you looking at each other not even paying attention the noises surrounding them. From the looks of the male he seemed to hold no noticeable things beside the headphones hanging around his ears and the blue hair covering most of his face, his posture shows relaxed and calm demeanor yet his eyes show a more active mind set betraying the way he is trying to appear. At first glance he seemed like a regular student, but the way he keeps looking at you he might also believe the same thing about you. "Hi." Hello. After the greeting you both kept up the silence a little while longer.... you averted you eyes for a moment to see you are attracting some attention. The blue haired boy seemed to catch on as well and decided to press his music player again making you hear the loud booming of the music before it was muffled when he placed them back in his ears. "Good Bye." Bye The both of you turned around and walked your separate ways making the stares you were getting from other students stop and get back to there regular activities. It was such a small confrontation a type in which people will forget in a few hours, but with just a few words shared between you and the blue haired student made you think that this small meeting wasn't just some random encounter. Though, you can complain that he plays his music a bit too loud for your liking. Author's Note HELLLO!!!! WOW, this was a long time coming! Finally more drama then you can ask for as well as a starteling revelation that could shake Equestria to the core. Hopefully this won't cause to much for a protaganist, but if you ever played or watched Persona you know this will be blown out of preportion. PLease leave a comment and like if this is your favorite persona fic. Like always this in Brotherhoof12 saying, "Hope you like this Omake i made, please comment if you want more if this. Thank you!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Good times are just a dream //-------------------------------------------------------// Good times are just a dream “So, let me get this straight. You went to Junes to get a TV, saw this mare working at Junes, found out that she is your pen-pal, and when you were about to greet she slipped and fell on top of you.” Button’s mom said to you. For the past hour she has asked you why you were not at school making you tell her what happened. You made sure to not tell her the full detail about why you went to Junes, but that info is best kept in secret. Yes *Sigh* “I’m glad that you found your friend in person, but if you wanted a TV for your room you could’ve just told me. I have a spare TV from a garage sale a couple of days ago you can use that.” She told you. Thank you Exiting out of the kitchen you found Sunset using her magic to levitate the TV remote and began to start channel surfing to find what’s good on. Sorry I took so long. “It’s ok; I just wish that this world has better things to watch then my world.” She said glumly as she was watching a mare and another mare fighting for a young human high school student. I lied to her about what happened, but I am not sure if I can ask if she can make room for you to stay here. “Don’t worry about it, as soon as I go back to Junes I am sure my friends will be worried about what happened.” Turning off the TV, Sunset looked back at you. “The problem right now is how I should sneak back in. I don’t want to be spotted by anypony I know; I don’t want too much attention.” Can’t you teleport there? “Didn’t you hear me? Even if I teleport inside the store there is a chance I might find Twilight and her friends there. And if I teleport inside the store, I’m also sure the alarms inside will also get me caught if I teleport when its closed” As soon as she was done telling you her problem, Button’s mom appeared in the living room. “Alright, I set it up. You can check it back in your room. I’m going to go make some food; I’ll call you and button when I’m done.” She turned to Sunset shimmer. “Are you staying as well?” She asked Sunset. “Sure, I would really like that.” Shimmer told her happily. “Excellent! I will be calling you all later. You can also try the TV in your room if it is working.” Button’s mom told you. I will do that. Come on, Sunset shimmer. “Alright, I’m coming.” Getting up on her fours she walked along side you to your room when Button’s mom called you out. “And make sure you leave your door open, I want you to hear me when I tell you it’s time to eat.” You gave her a nod and returned to walking to your room. “Guess she doesn’t trust me to be alone with you, can’t blame her, since it’s weird to see a relative lead a stranger in their room.” Reaching the door knob to your room you opened it, let Shimmer inside, and slightly closed just like Button’s mom told you. Looking at the TV you can see that it is twice as big as the TV you used in Inaba, but was still not big enough for a human to fit. “Nice room you got. Still wish it was bigger.” She told you. Looking back at her and the TV, since you can’t fit in your TV it still doesn’t apply to Shimmer because you know that she is a pony then it will be way easier for her to enter. Picking her up, you plunged her head first into the TV and saw her pass through the screen. Taking her back out from the TV you put her down on the floor and asked her if she is alright. “I’m fine….. Actually, do you mind if kneel down so I can tell you more?” Kneeling down to hear what she was about to say she swung her left hoof and struck your left cheek. “Next time, tell me you were going to do that!” She told you loudly. Sorry, I just wanted to check if it worked. But I need to know if you saw anything on the other side. “Yeah, I was back at home, but it was at a different location.” I remember a friend told me when I was still at earth that different TVs won’t send you to the same place you’re entered, so even if it is back at your home world it will still send you some where you still don’t know. “Well, either way, I think a nice meal will help relax both of us.” She told you. As soon as she said that you heard Button’s mom call us to the kitchen table to set it up for eating. “Nice! Let’s go, I am starving.” Running out of your room you looked at your clock to see it is close to nine. When dinner is done and everyone is asleep, you will need to check the midnight channel if something important might happen. [Midnight] “Can I ask why you wanted me in your room?” Sunset shimmer asked you. We need to know who will be the next victim. “If the victims of all those murders were all male, then it is another possibility the next one should be the same.” You fall into silence as your clock reached midnight. Pressing the power button the TV’s screen showed only blurred images of a figure you can’t quite focus on. You can at least see this mystery person’s movement as the figure twirls and jumps at a random pace before the TV shuts off. “That just leaves more questions! How can that help us, it all looked so random?” It’s the only thing we have as a lead. I can try to check again tomorrow, but the dead line is usually at the end of the month. “So, let me get this straight, we only have just a couple of weeks to find the next possible victim?” Yes. “Then we can start tomorrow, I don’t feel like doing anything but falling asleep on the living room couch.” With a quick “Goodnight.”, Sunset left you in your room. Taking that as your turn to sleep, you went to bed to get ready for tomorrow. [Unknown] “Hey, bro, you still asleep?” said a familiar voice. With a jolt of surprise you looked around you. Instead of your room in Equestria, you are in your old school in Inaba! “He’s finally awake! Now, let’s get something to eat. I think I heard they are having a super beef bowl special.” Chie said next to you. “What! Are you crazy? We could barely finish the last time we’ve been there, right Yukiko?” Yosuke asked her. “How about we go to Junes? I’m sure Kanji, Rise, and Naoto are all there waiting.” “And I’m sure Teddy is slacking off from his job!” Yosuke said irritably. “So it’s settled, we’re going to Junes, and Yosuke is buying!” Chie said happily. “Hey, who said I am going to pay for the food. I have to use my paycheck to serve all of us, you know.” Thanks for treating us. “What, not you to, bro! I’m going to be broke by the end of the week?” You told them that you will meet up at Junes, since you’re the only one not packed up to leave to classroom. Being left alone in the class room, you felt a wave of nostalgia over the town you made great friends with. The fog, the murders, persona, and shadows seem like a side attraction when your with all your friends. Having everything packed you were about to leave when you stopped half way out of the door. For some reason you can’t seem to explain why you have this feeling of some powerful presence all around you. But you can definitely tell that you’re being watched from somewhere. Slowly walking to the chalk board, you reached over to get a metric ruler and swung at the area with the most presence. For a brief second you felt the ruler Kinect to something before it vanished. You stabbed, slashed, and hacked at the presence where ever you feel the most pressure in the room. Taking a moment to look around, you see other students, alongside your friends all talking to one another. You tried to call out to them, but they seem to fall to deaf ears. With your suspicions rising to new heights, you reached in your pocket to get your glasses and wore them. The classroom you were in a few seconds ago are now filled with fog, police tape, towers of broken TVs, and friends you thought were your real friends were actually misshapen shadows wandering around this twisted school. You have seen pass the illusion I hide around me, and successfully found the true nature of this domain. Taking another swing and a miss, you decided that you had enough. Raising your arm in the air a blue flaming card appeared. Crushing the card your persona immerges out of thin air, swung his massive sword, and split the mystery figure in two. With the presence gone, you tried to find a way out of this messed up school. To summon such a powerful being shows you have great potential, but when I am in this world I am far more superior. You tried to find where that voice was coming from, but it became much harder to find it. When were about to summon Izanagi again you felt a beam of light rain down on you, causing you to lose consciousness in the middle of the battle. We will see each other again. For now though, I think it’s time for you to wake up, or else you might be late for school. [Reality] Fluttering your eyes open, you awoke to see your still in your room. Turning on your side you also saw Shimmer plunge her entire body into your TV screen. Now, more fully awake, you jumped out of bed, stuck your arms in the TV, and tried to pull her out with no such luck. With no other option you got dressed in your uniform, wrote a note to Button’s mom about dropping Shimmer off home, and ran outside to get to Junes. Running all the way back to the store, you checked your cellphone to check the time. Junes open around seven in the morning and your cellphone says it is around eight, so there will be fewer eyes around the store when you enter the same TV from the last trip. Entering the store in a quick pace, you hurried to the electronics, checked around if there are other people, and jumped inside to be transferred back to the other world. [Other world] Exiting out of the TV screen your eyes scanned around to find that you are no longer in Junes, but instead a school. “I see you have arrived.” Principal said to you behind her desk. Sunset Shimmer entered a different TV screen! “Yes, I heard it from her.” She told you. Where did it lead her? “I got a call from the principal from the prep school calling me about one of my students trespassing.” You are relieved that she is safe and not lost. “They told me to pick her up from their school’s detention, but my sister and I are too bust here. And Sunset’s friends are already in class, so they are not allowed to leave until school ends.” Which is why I should retrieve her, right? “Yes, you have their uniform, so they will think you are from their school, and since you are a senior they will be far less suspicions about you leaving the school grounds.” The principal explained to you. You agreed to her request to get Sunset back and left her office. You’re glad that she is alright, but you slowly drifted back to what that mystery person’s words. We will see each other again. You just hope it won’t be today. Author's Note Hope this chapter gets you guys more pumped for what happens next! Fell free to comment, fav, like, and follow me to get the new chapter of this story.
