Author's Note

This story may be a 2nd person on, but who says all 2nd person stories couldn't include a third person scene every once in a while? It feels that way if you ever played Persona 3 or 4.

8/24 (Mo) Part 4

Monday, August 24, 2017/Late Night

"YAHOOO! WE DID IT!" Pinkie said jumping around like a maniac

"No." You said bluntly, "We haven't."

"Well DUUH! There's still two more people missing!" Rainbow said

"No. It's not that." You said

"Then what is it?!" Applejack asked

"It's about Twilight." You explained

"Me?!" Twilight shouted

"About when you summoned your first Persona, Saiensugāru, it turned into Raven from Teen Titans not soon after you only did two moves. Then when you summoned it the first time to fight against your shadow Raven just simply tossed Sunset an Evoker and left. I know for a fact Personas are NOT supposed to do that. Then your shadow. It transformed from something cool into Midnight. I remember you saying something like that to me when I consoled you outside the school. That couldn't have been the same Midnight could it?"

"It was." Twilight said

"Then after we defeated your shadow and you accepted it it tuned into Hermes the initial form of Junpei Iori's Persona."

"Huh?! how do you know all that?!" Twilight asked

"Yeah what are you hiding?!" Rainbow asked

You sighed. No point in hiding it now.

"I guess it's time to spill the beans. The reason why I know it is because the game I based my uniform on is from has the same name as our Personas. Persona. The Evokers, my outfit, my S.E.E.S armband, Thanatos as my Persona, Hermes as Twilight's, all connect to the third installment of it. More specifically Persona 3 FES, an expansion of the original Persona 3. I knew it had to be Persona 3 FES because Sunset Shimmer in my social links is Aeon, an arcana that wasn't introduced until FES as far as my knowledge of the series goes."

"You mean all of this is from, A VIDEO GAME?!" Rainbow shouted

"Multiverse theory." You said

"Ooooh." Rainbow said

"I'm the holder of the fool arcana, number 0, that means I have the ability of the wild card."

"The wild card?" Sunset asked

"It means I can hold more than one Persona and can fuse them together as well to make new ones."

"Whoa. That sounds kind of cool." Sunset said

"But what are social links?" Twilgiht asked

"My emotional ties with others." You explained, "The stronger my Social Links, the more powerful my Persona ability and Personas themselves become. In terms of regular arcana there are only 21, the most recent ones are Aeon, alternate number 20, Jester, alternate number 0, and Hunger, alternate number 11."

"But if I hold onto this Junpei Iori's Persona what does that make me in terms of Arcana?" Twilight asked

"Number 1. The Magician." You stated

"Number 1?!" Twilight asked

"And from the looks of things due to the fact I was able to summon Pyro Jack a Persona of the Magician arca it seems my social link is maxed out with you though I do remember it being on rank 2. Maybe party member social links follow the Persona 4 anime rules where Yu Narukami just simply got things like the Magician and Chariot arcana simply from Yosuke Hanamura or Chie facing their shadow. I still don't know how that works myself but I guess that's just how it is. I mean it was an anime, it basically sort of made up the rules as it went on."

"But what does that mean for the rest of us?" Rainbow said, "You, Twilight, and Sunset are the only ones with a Persona."

"I don't know Rainbow. We'll just have to wait and see." You explained, "For now we should take Moondancer home. I'm sure her parents have been quiet worried since her disappearance."

You and the girls then left CHS and took Moondancer to her house. you and the girls went your separate ways afterwards and headed on home to go to sleep later for school in the morning. You knew that tomorrow things were certainty gonna be different.

The following day nothing really happened. You and the girls, minus Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy for obvious reasons, went about your usual business and decided to meet up at CHS tonight for investigation. It was going to be a full moon tonight.

Tuesday, August 25, 2017/Night

Just like last night You exited the house through the roof, but making sure to climb down the roof this time and not fall on your ass this time. You and Sunset came to CHS to be greeted with Rarity and Twilight.

"So it's just the four of us huh?" You said looking at the others

"Yeah. Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy are still injured." Sunset stated

"So what's the plan this time?" Twilight asked

"We're sticking together this time." You explained, "It's no longer safe just to split up any more. RD, AJ, Pinkie, and Flutters showed that. Even in a group they didn't stand a chance. Without a Persona they can't defend themselves. Which is why I'm taking them off the investigation team."

"WHAT?!" Sunset, Twilight, and Rarity shouted at the same time

"You can't take them off the team!" Sunset shouted

"I don't want to see them hurt Sunset." You explained, "Haven't I suffered enough to show that?!"

Sunset and the others were taken aback by your outburst.

"S-sorry I snapped." You said, "I just don't like seeing others hurt. It just reminds me too much of a certain moment that happened in my life."

"What was it?" Twilight asked

"I don't wanna talk about it." You said turning to the school, "Lets just go in and see if there's anyone else we can rescue from the shadows."

You walked in and the others followed in with you. Unknown to you though the moon went from white to yellow and everything started turning to the color Jade Green and blood started to cover the ground a bit.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city....

A girl with a three toned dark blue hair, yellow eyes, lightning bolt piercings, and skin somewhat like Flash Sentry's could be seen doing a jog into an alleyway and stopping to take a breath.

"One mile done in nine minutes and twenty-four seconds. Man you're losing it Indigo Zap." the girl said to herself as she looked at the moon

Suddenly everything started turning Jade Green and the moon turned yellow.

"HUH?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOON?!" Indigo yelled in a panic

She took a step back only to hear a splash. She looked down to find a puddle of blood underneath her.

"H-HUH?!"

She quickly stepped out and suddenly she heard footsteps behind her which made her turn around.

"Huh?! Who's there?!" Indigo called out into the darkness of the alley

Three figures then came out of the darkness, one was a girl with purple hair with light blue-green stripes in her hair with the hair going down past her back a little, and had light purple skin with dark purple eyes, she appeared to be wearing seemingly nothing outside of a black bra, torn blue jeans with a revolver within her front belt, and she appeared to be barefoot. The second person again was female, she had pure blue short hair and skin like Indigo Zap, she seemed to be wearing some kind of green jacket that seemed to expose her arm a bit that also went all the way to his hands and in between his fingers leaving his fingers exposed with some kind of navy blue pants that had car holsters strapped to the side of her pants, regular black Nike shoes, and finally she seemed to be carrying some kind of silver suitcase. The final person was a boy, he had long red hair, orange colored eyes, same skin color as Flash Sentry,seemed to be wearing a white t-shirt with a white vest, white pants, white sneakers, he also appeared to have an ax chained to his side.

"Who-who are you?!" Indigo asked

The girl with the suitcase came up to Indigo a little.

"Didn't your mommy never teach you any manners? You haven't even introduced yourself..." she said pulling out a piece of paper, "Take a look. Name. Address. Age, etc... This is you. Right?"

"Wha--?! Where did you get this?!" Indigo said sounding scared

"Somebody's got a grudge against you. And they asked us to get revenge." the girl said putting away the paper

"Revenge?! What kind of bullshit is this?!" Indigo asked very pissed off at this point, "Who put you up to this?!"

"Can't tell ya. We're professionals." the girl said

"'Professionals'?" Indigo repeated sounding a bit confussed

Then realization hit her.

"Oh shit... You mean, the rumors on the net are true?!" Indigo said scared out of her mind

The girl with the revolver then pulled said revolver out making Indigo back up some with the girl following her a bit before the two stopped.

"Hey... W-Wait... I haven't done anything!" Indigo said trying to plead her case, "Why me?! What'd I do?!"

"That is not our concern." the revolver girl said, "Your notion of right and wrong is irrelevant. My client's wishes are all that matter. People hear what they choose to hear, and believe what they want to believe."

The girl then pointed the revolver at Indigo causing her to panic.

"N-no... Stay away..." Indigo said in pain backing up a bit but freezing in place before full on running, "Get away from me!!"

"You squeal most magnificently!" The revolver girl said with delight, "Such raw emotion!"

BANNG!

The bullet went into Indigo's back, paralyzing her and making her fall to the ground on her face with blood pouring out of the wound. The revolver girl then put her revolver back within her belt.

"She's not dead." the boy said

"Doesn't matter.... We've held up our end of the bargain. Besides, tomorrow this will just seem like some random crime." The girl with the suitcase said

The revolver girl then turned to her two lackeys.

"If there's nothing else... I'm feeling rather tired." the girl said inhaling a bit

The three then walked back into the darkness leaving Indigo behind as her eyes slowly began to close and blood poured out of her mouth her body began to turn cold as her breathing became slower and slower.

Back with you...

It felt like hours as you and the girls searched throughout the building. Finally through all your searching you and the girls found not a single shadow or she demon shadow in the building and were making your way to the stair case to the first floor after checking the 2nd floor.

"Man I thought we would've found or fought something, but we didn't find anything." You said

"I still don't see why you allowed me to come along." Rarity said, "I don't even have a Persona."

"Well I'm not really quiet sure myself- SINCE WHEN WAS THERE THIRD FLOOR STAIRS?!"

Your outburst got the attention of the others which made them see the set of stairs as well.
