Wednesday August 22nd Morning

I start walking downstairs to find Twilight standing in my way. "What happened yesterday?" she asked with a stern look on her face.

"Ok. I didn't want to tell you cause I thought it'd cause a fuss... I was attacked." I answer. It wasn't a lie, but I still felt guilty for saying it.

"Of course it would cause a fuss. You were attacked!" Twilight said she looked actually concerned. I haven't known her for long but she actually cares for my well being. I feel of my bond with her just got stronger.

"Listen, it's no big deal. I beat them anyway." I said

"Stop trying to sound macho you jackass." she said looking aloof.

"Sorry." I said as I hung my head.

"Apology accepted. You know, I would like to get to know you better. Let's go get some coffee tomorrow ok?" Twilight says

"Of course." is all I have to say in response.

August 22nd Daytime

I think to myself about that factory... I've decided to try out this witching hour and go explore that factory. Suddenly I was snapped back into reality by Mr. Biceps asking me a question. "Spearhead, how deep is the grand canyon?" he shouts

"1'857 meters." I answer.

"So you were listening. Yes the Grand Canyon is 1'857 meters, or 6'093 feet."

I hear students around me talking. "Wow, I didn't know that." one says.

"He's pretty smart." states another. I seem to have become more popular.

August 22nd After School

I'm walking down one of the halls and suddenly bump into someone. I pick myself up and help the person up. "Sorry." I say

The person standing in front of me was the same girl I saw when I first arrived. "No you don't have to apologize it's cool. She started to clean her sunglasses. After she finished she put out her hand. "I'm Vinyl Scratch, nice to meet'cha."

"Nice to meet you too. I'm Spearhead." I shake her hand. "If you don't mind me asking, What happend a few days ago. I saw a lady screaming at you and this other girl."

"Oh, that was Tavi's mom. She doesn't really accept us." Vinyl winced

"I'm.... So sorry. I hate people like that." I ball up my hand.

"You don't need to worry about me. Though it would help to have someone to vent to... Could you. Help me every once in awhile." she looked at her feet. I feel a faint bond form between me and her.

I am thou. Thou art I
Thou hast established a new bond

It brings you closer to the truth

Thou shalt be blessed when creating
Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana

"Sure... What's your schedule?" I ask.

"Can you meet me either Monday or Thursday." she asks

"Definitly. I would love to help you." I say with a smile. I walk back home planning for tonight.

Thursday August 23rd Witching Hour

I wake up to the sound of my phone's alarm. I get dressed grab a switchblade that I bought for tonight and went outside. It looks like any normal night except for the factory in the distance. I run towards the factory and walk through the door. I pull out my switchblade and wander around the factory.

I keep walking until I am confronted by three fairy like creatures. They all have red curly hair and are wearing blue leotards, gloves, and stockings. I let our a chuckle at the creatures. They look so weak... At least that's what I thought before one of them struck me with a lightning bolt. It hurt quite a bit, but I wasn't affected to bad by it.

"Persona!" I shout, just like that Horus has dive bombed one knocking it to the floor. He does the same to the others, I feel a slight strain on my muscles but I'll be fine. I run up to them knife in hand. "

"Stop.. Please!" one of the fairies says. Trembling.

"Why should I." I give an intimidating scowl.

"Your way stronger than I though. I kind of like men with that fighters spirit." the fairy purrs.

"Flattery won't get you anywhere with me." I say

"I'm telling the truth. I like strong men." the fairy explains

"Prove that your not trying to trick me." I smirk at the fairy

"Fine... I'm Pixie, as long as you keep that spirit I will be at your side." Pixie suddenly gets absorbed into my soul. So this is what Cherry meant, sweet. It's time to test her out.

I keep walking and I run into one of those slimes from last time. "Persona!' I shout, flames cover my eyes once again forming the roman numeral I. Pixie forms from the flames and hits the blob with a bolt of lightning. It melts into a puddle and disappear.

Out of no where a blue door appears beside me. I know exactly what this is. This is the Velvet Room, that's why he gave me a key. I walk over and I put the key in the door and open it.

"Welcome. It seems you can use our services." Igor says. "I have to ability to take two or more personas and fuse them into something greater." he explains.

He lays down two cards. One shows Horus, the other shows Pixie. "Will I lose them when they are fused?" I ask.

"Not exactly." He says. Cherry walks up and opens a book.

"You will be able to re summon your old personas by using this. The persona conpendium." she flips the pages showing all of them to be blank. "Every persona you have will be recorded. Though you can only hold a certain amount at a time." she closes the tome.

"Could you show me how this fusion works?" I ask

Without hesitation Igor levitates the cards in the air and slams them together. In front of me is a small bearded man carrying a giant leaf. "I am Koropokkur, as long as you don't betray me I will fight by your side." the being was yet again absorbed. I resummoned the others and exited the room I hear something unusual, but it's best not to worry about it.

I suddenly realized how tired I was so I went back to the dorm to sleep. I walked up the stairs to the second floor, and... Twilight, and Chaplain were there.

"Where were you!?" Chaplain said looking quite upset.

"We thought you were taking another walk, so we sent Pinkie after you. She hasn't returned." Twilight looked panicked.

"Could she be... Oh no." I said

"What are you talking about nan!" Chaplain exclaimed.

"I need to go find her. Now!" I shouted at them. Could she be at the factory. Maybe that noise I heard was... Pinkie.

I ran down the stairs and out the door. I checked my phone 3:40am. "Damnit it's almost over!" I was so worried I barely noticed that the others are chasing after me. I stop at the main gate of the factory.

"What the hell is this place!?" Chaplain screams.

"So this is where you were." Twilight huffed

"Guys... You might not believe what's going to happen, but I think Pinkie's trapped in there." I say trying to calm myself.

"What!?" They both ask in unison.

I open the gate and enter through the front door and enter the factory. However this time a weird crackling sound surrounds the area. Like some sort of PA system.

"Welcome my humble guests. I have someone you might want back. If you can get past my guards meet me on the 5th floor." the message ends.

"Guys. I know your scared but we need to fight to get through this." I said as my face ignites with the 0 again.

"What's...." suddenly Twilights face ignites with the same numeral I as when I summoned Pixie. "Persona." she wimpers.

Suddenly a figure of a woman wearing a cheetah print leotard. It has green legs that ended scythe like things for feet. It has a floating book for a heado which opened to reveal a green star mask. "I am Seshat, the god's scribe. Together we shall teach the world." she said as she disappears

"The fuck!..." Chaplain is the last one to ignite. However his face shown the numeral VIII. "Persona!" he howled.

A woman made of white metal appears. She wears a red dress and her shoulders are uncovered. She has what seems to be metallic wings protruding from them. Her hips are also uncovered with wings shooting out of them too. Her legs end at a point, the odd things were her hands. She had normal arms unding in cups with fingers on the side of each cup. "I am Ma'at, the protector of faith, together we will punish the evils of sin." it disappeared.

Now we all have personas. We can save Pinkie.... Together.
