[SCORE] Persona 3 ost - Unavoidable Battle ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMC1VethykE )

"SPREAD OUT!" You shouted as the she demons came towards your group

And just like that You, Sunset, Twilight, and Rarity took off in a different direction. Rarity following you and from looking behind you Sunset went with Twilight. While at the same time the two shadows followed you and Rarity.

"OH COME ON!!! THE ONLY TWO WITHOUT AN EVOKER AND THOSE THINGS GO AFTER THEM! AND BY THEM I MEAN US!" You shouted in both fear and frustration as you and Rarity kept running

All of that running though came to an end though as you and Rarity both looked forwards and slammed face first into a wall.

"OW!! SON OF A!" You said as you rubbed your face in pain

"WE'RE TRAPPED!" Rarity screamed in fear as you then realized you two had become surrounded

"SHIT! WE'RE SCREWED!" You said

Just as they were about to attack you suddenly heard the sound of something being cut and then the shadow she demons turned into blue crystal and then the roman numerals of 3 and 4. From 3 came Marble Pie and from 4 came Spitfire. You then looked to find who attacked them to be met with Hermes who then disappeared. You then saw Sunset and Twilight come running your way.

"Are you alright guys?" Sunset asked as her and Twilight stopped right in front of you and Rarity

"Twilight. Sunset. Thank you." You said

"You really saved our skins." Rarity said

Unknown to you Rarity picked up your Evoker one of the demons had ran towards her Shadow self.

"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" You said and you, Sunset, and Twilight chased after her

Rarity then placed the Evoker to her head.

"RARITY DON'T! YOU HAVENT ACCEPTED YOUR OTHER SELF YET!" You warned

"Oh my word. What is this new development I'm seeing here? Has the peasant me growed a backbone finally? So my peasant half are you finally ready to fight me like a true upper crust lady instead of running away like a cowardly peasant finally?" Shadow Rarity mocked, "Well then, HAVE AT YOU MY INFERIOR PEASANT HALF!"

"I. Will. Never. Lose. To. The. Likes. Of. You. You. SELF CENTERED ARROGANT BITCH!" Rarity shouted at the top of her lungs, "PERSONAAAAAA!"

BAAAAANNNG!

The blue shards formed around Rarity's head as she suddenly came to a complete stop. What formed above her was none other than Penthesilea the initial Persona of the Persona 3 character Mitsuru Kirijo.

"Of coarse." You groaned as you, Twilight, and Sunset stopped in your tracks

You then looked at your card holder and saw it glowing. Opening it up you saw the Empress tarot card with the Fool and Magician Tarot. You then took out the Empress tarot and looked at Sunset.

"Hey Sunset can I barrow your Evoker for a bit?" you asked

"Sure." Sunset said giving you her Evoker

You then break the card across your head and place the Evoker to your head.

"PERSONA!"

BAAANNNG!

The Persona that formed around your head was none other than Lakshmi.

"Mabufula!"

Lakshmi then pushed her hands outwards towards Shadow Rarity and what appeared to be some snow coming out of her hands hit Shadow Rarity's sword turning it into ice and startling Shadow Rarity causing her to drop it and break.

"GAH! MY SWORD! I'M DEFENSELESS!" Shadow Rarity cried

"Bufu!"

Rarity's command then turned into an attack as Penthesilea then stabbed her blades into the ground and in almost an instant Shadow Rarity became a ice cube. You then smashed the Fool tarot across your head and put the evoker next to your head.

"FINISH THIS!!!" Rarity shouted

"THANATOS!"

BAAANNNG!

Thanatos then appeared drawing out his sword and rushing for the frozen Shadow Rarity slicing her through the ice in the throat causing the ice to break off and cause Shadow Rarity to revert back to her original form but with static in certain spots of her making her look battle damaged while Thanatos and Penthesilea disappeared.

"I, ngh, I am an upper cruuusssst!" Shadow Rarity whined

"Rarity." You said coming up behind her and placing a hand on her shoulder, "You know what needs to be done."

"R-right." Rarity said going over to her shadow and stopping right in front of her

"YOU DAMN PEASANT HALF! BEGONE FROM MY SIGHT ALREADY YOU WORM!" Shadow Rarity shouted

"Shut your mouth and listen to me!" Rarity said, "Look. Your right. I did used to consider myself an upper crust person. I wanted to go to Crystal Prep a lot when my time to go to High school came. But my damn parents budget just couldn't afford it. I secretly hated them for it and took on another quote on quote persona-"

HA!

"-as the girl I am now. I still to this day secretly want into Crystal Prep but I know at this point it's too late. But I know who you are now. And you're me."

Shadow Rarity just nodded as she then turned into blue light and then into Penthesilea confirming her as her Persona and then into an Evoker that slid into a new holster on Rarity's right leg. Rarity in turn then handed your Evoker back and you gave Sunset hers back.

"I, have a Persona now." Rarity said looking at the Evoker in the holster on her right leg

"Our three person group just turned into a four person group." You said

You feel like the strength of the Investigation Team has grown.

"Only one thing left to do now." You said

"Yeah. Take Marble Pie and Spitfire home." Sunset explained

Sunset carried Marble and Twilight carried Spitfire. You and the girls walked down the same path you took to get to the Colosseum and then after going back down to the first floor exited the building and returned Marble Pie and Spitfire to their individual houses. Parting your separate ways you then returned home yourself just in time as the Dark Hour ended and went to bed.

The next day, which was Wednesday, soon came and so did your 1st and 2nd periods. Then it came time for homeroom and the only few of your friends in there was Sunset, Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy. Looking at your Velvet Room key you thought now was just a as good a time to look for the Velvet Room door and see if Igor can explain why you got Personas of the Magician and Empress tarots even though you didn't even completely start a social link with Twilight and Rarity yet. Making up an excuse to use the bathroom you were granted permission and left to the boys bathroom where you say the door to the Velvet Room. Using the key to unlock it you then entered....

To your surprise you only saw Amanda in the Velvet Room.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." Amanda said

"Amanda? Where's Igor?" You asked

"My master has stepped out for now. If it is a fusion you require I do have some knowledge on it from my Senseis' Margaret and Theodore." Amanda explained

Continuity! You said cheerfully in your mind, Uh I think.

"Actually I've come on the account of something else." You explained

"Oh. What has been troubling you then?" Amanda asked

"I've recently acquired Personas of both the Magician and Empress arcanas despite the fact that with Twilight my social link status with her was a one and with Rarity I didn't even start one at all yet. Suddenly though when I check my social link status they're both at max for some reason. I was wondering if i could get an answer to this situation here." You explained

"Hmmm. Indeed this is strange. Though from what Sensei Margaret has told me in the past her guest, Yu Narukami, and her sister Elizabeth's guest, Makoto Yuki, have shown the ability due to those in their groups possessing a persona that was connected to one of the 22 arcana."

Oh yeaaah I forgot that was a thing in Persona 4 the animation and the Persona 3 anime movies. You thought

"Is that as good an explanation?" Amanda asked

"Yeah. So essentially how I see it now is that anyone within the Investigation Team both new and current who has a Persona of one of my arcana I automatically get a Persona myself of the same arcana, but some arcana I'll have to get personas of through Social Link. Is that what you mean?" You asked

"Well see." Amanda said with a smile

Thou art I, and I am thou...
Thou hast established a new bond...
It brings thee closer to the truth...
Thou shalt be blessed when creating
Personas of the World Arcana...

"Well I guess I'll be heading back to class then." You said, "Got the answer to my question after all."

"Well, until we meet again, farewell." Amanda said before you left the Velvet room

As you left the bathroom you saw Sunset, Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy come running at you with fear in their eyes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?!" You said as they came to a halt and catching their breath

"Principal Celestia just made another missing persons announcement!" Sunset explained

Figures. You thought

"Who's missing this time?" You asked

"Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash!" Twilight shouted
