Ponysona: The Butterfly Mask
It's Time
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunday August 26th Morning
I wake up and get dressed. However, instead of going downstairs I take out my key, and enter the velvet room.
"Welcome." says Igor and Cherry in unison.
"I need to fuse some personas, if I'm going to save Pinkie I'm gonna need some good equipment." I say sternly.
"Understood." Igor lays the personas I have our on the table to the side of my chaise lounge.
"It seems you have Horus, Pixie, Koropukker, and Ukobach." Cherry says.
I pick Horus and Ukobach to fuse. Igor takes them in his hands and they start to levitate they than mash together. In front of me is a floating brain with eyes, as well as thin tentacles. "I am Omoikane, you are the one of many I console. Let us help those who struggle." he moves around a bit.
"It seems that this persona has gained another level." Cherry smiles.
"How?" I say confused.
"You're social links grant you're personas new power. The Heirophant social link has raised this persona to level 8."
After my lesson I re summon Horus, as well as Ukobach and leave the velvet room. Once I get downstairs Twilight seems to be practicing with her new weapon.
"Hey, Twi." I say with a wave.
"Hi Spear. I'm just getting used to this weapon." she replied.
"That's a good idea." I say looking down at my feet.
"Pinkie is our priority at the moment." said Chaplain from behind me.
"Agreed." said Twilight with a stern face.
"I was given this power to protect, and that's what I'm going to do." I say detemined
"Ok, then let's do this." shouted Chaplain excitedly.
After our little talk I decided to go jogging. I put in my headphones and started listening to some stuff my brother shared with me. I walked towards the park so I could begin my jog. However when I got there I noticed a glowing blue butterfly start flying around me, it landed on my shoulder.
"Your journey begins today. Are you ready?" a disembodied voice says in my ear.
"What was that?" I ask myself.
"It was I Spearhead." replied the voice.
"Who are you?" I say nervously.
"I am Philemon, it is a pleasure to meet my newest champion." says the voice.
"What are you saying? Show yourself!" I shout.
Suddenly the butterfly flew off me and started to fly circles around me. The next thing I know, I'm passed out. When I wake up I'm in an odd room, with a man in a white shit and a golden butterfly mask covering his face.
"Where am I? And what in the hell are you!?" I get up with a scowl.
"I am Philemon, you are about to take on a dangerous foe. I hope you have been using Igor often." spoke the being.
I look around, it looks like the office of a school's principle. However, everything was blue.
"What is it that you want me to do here?" I ask.
"I want to see you're progress. If I am pleased I just might reward you." said Philemon.
"What do you mean by progress?" I say intrigued.
"Show me your most recently fused persona." he smiles
I bring out Omoikane and her observes it from all angles.
"I see, it's the same level as you as well." he mutters.
"So... What do you think." I say proudly.
"Very good, very well done indeed. I believe said reward is in order." he says
Suddenly. Ukobach is pulled out of my head and, in a flash of light he is replaced by a beast with a lions head, a goat head on it's back and a snake for a tail. "I Chimera, you are me. We hunt together." it shouts as I absorb it.
"Th..Thank you." is all I can say.
"Now go. You need to save your friend." he says as I end up in the park.
August 26th Daytime
I decide to head to work at Sugercube Corner. I walk to the store and get started mopping the floors, and unpacking boxes. I feel as though this hard work will get easier next time.
"Spearhead. You're still working? Jeez kid, take a break. You earned it." Mr Cake handed me a cup of tea
"Thank you sir, but I better finish with this last box." I say determined.
"That's just what Pinkie'd say. Well make sure not to work yourself too hard. Cause it'll mess up your back, I of all people should know." he chuckled.
"What happened?" I ask
"Well, my dad owned this shop before me, he had me and my brother working here as kids. He was a stupid old man, always working himself till he colapsed." Mr. Cake frowned
"That sounds harsh." I wince.
"Oh sorry, didn't mean to trail off like that, well I'll talk to you later kid." he just turns around and walks away. His dad sounds like he really loved his work, I wonder what happened to him? Guess I'll have to ask some other time.
August 26th Evening
"Alright team. We need a plan for tonight. Are we ready?" I say as we all sit in the lounge.
"I agree, we need to save Pinkie. And maybe even that Clock Watcher guy." Twilight says.
"Agreed." Chaplain starts to fiddle with the cross around his neck.
"So, we don't know who is keeping them hostage. But I'm guessing he is very powerful. I say, we train hard until we reach the top of the factory." I say
"Yeah, but wouldn't we be strained when we reach the top?" Twi asks
"No, we just need to moderate how much we do." I reply.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to bed." Chaplain starts heading towards the stairs.
"Yeah, that would be best." I say following.
Once we reach the top floor Chaplain stops me.
"Listen, Spearhead. I need your help with something." he says
"Um.. Ok." I say as he drags me into his room. It was the same size as mine, there was a poster of OutKast on his wall, as well as a half open bible sitting on his drawer.
"I'm going to be blunt here... Have you hit on any girls yet?"
I just stood there, jaw wide open. "Are.. Are you asking me if I've hit one someone on my first week here?" I say.
"It's just that. If we're going to be living together... I wanna get to know you better." Chaplain smiles.
"I understand, but that was kind of unexpected." I reply
"Well I'm not exactly the most emotional guy." Chaplain admits
"Why is that, you act all serious most of the time and slip into a quirky attitude at the last second. It's odd." I explain
"Well you see, I grew up in a very strict household, my parents are very Christian." he frowns a bit.
"Well that makes sense." I reply
"Enough about me, what about you Spearhead?" he points at me.
"Well, my mom is a lawyer so I don't see her that often. And my dad pretty much raised me." I say
"That sounds rough. My dad's a pastor and he wants me to join the family business." he looks down
"What do you want to do?" I ask.
"This is silly but.... I always wanted to be a rapper. But my parents say that kind of music's for the devil." he looks at the poster.
"So....What's your favorite OutLast song, I see you like the band." I say trying to lighten the mood.
"Definitly B.O.B" he smiles.
We talk for a while until it's 10:00.
Once I finally reach my room I walk back into the Velvet Room.
"Welcome back, What do you need?" Cherry says.
"I need to go to bed, we're gonna save Pinkie after all." Chaplain says enthusiastically.
"Let's talk again sometime?" I say. He nods in response.
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 Justice Arcana
After our little chat I decide to head to bed. While asleep I dream of me and Twilight wearing luchador masks and wrestling. When suddenly my alarm wakes me up. Me and the gang walk out with our weapons.
August 27th Witching Hour
We reach the factory and walk inside. Once we enter we don't notice any demons. So we walk silently around the floor, searching for the stairs.
"Not so fast!" shouts a voice from behind us. It was a chained upblonde woman with wings.
"Guys, get ready." we get into formation. And two Slimes appear next to the woman.
I slash at one of the Slimes with my knife, it doesn't seem to affect it at all.
"Persona!" Twilight says as Seshat hits the woman with her scythe foot. The woman falls down.
"Chimera!" I shout as my new persona blasts all the enemies with balls of fire. The slimes tilt a bit.
"Any last words?" Chaplain says, holding up his needles.
"Wait. Please let me live?" she pleades.
"What do we get in return?" Chaplain replies.
"I'll give you my Mabufu card. Just please let me go!?" the woman starts to cry.
"Alright. You can go." I say in response.
"Thank you." the woman hands me a card with a picture of two ice cubes on it.
"What is that?" asks Twilight.
"I don't know. But it seems important." replies Chaplain.
Suddenly Chimera knocks the card out of my hand and devours it. It starts to flow a bit and disappears.
"The hell was that!?" Chaplain says shocked.
"Let's just move on. The stairs should be around here somewhere." Twilight says
We find the stairs and get to the next floor. However, once we reach the top another winged woman appears in front of us with an Ukobach next to her.
"Surrender now humans!" the woman shouts as she surrounds Twilight in a bright light. However Twilight seems relatively unfazed.
I slash at the Ukobach and he disappears into blackness.
"Seshat!" Twilight shouts and Seshat strikes the angel with a bolt of lightning. And it was gone.
"We need to hurry. The witching hour ends in 45 minutes." I shout.
We go up all the floors hacking and slashing away, until we reach the last set of stairs. However two guards are in the way. One is a warrior with the head of an ox, while the other looks like a knight with a horse's head. We walk up to them and draw out weapons.
"Who goes there!" shouts the ox.
"We are here to save our friend." I respond.
"Oh yeah. And how do you plan on doing that?" sneers the horse.
"We'll fight." We point out weapons in their direction.
"Fine." the horse pulls out a spear, and the ox takes out an axe.
"Persona!" Chaplain shouts as Ma'at headbutts the ox in the stomach. The ox gets knocked back and starts to charge at me.
"Pixie!" I shout as Pixie stikes the ox with electricity, which knocks him onto his butt.
"Take this!" Chaplain throws his needles directly in the horse's eye.
The horse screams in agony, the ox gets up and starts to heal the horse's wound with a white light.
"Chimera!" Chimera comes out and surrounds the beasts in a mist that quickly hardens covering them in ice.
"So that's what the card did... Sweet!" I grin.
Suddenly the ice surrounding the demons explodes. Leaving the horse on the ground slowly disappearing.
"Mezuki!" cries the ox as he starts swinging his axe around hitting Twilight and knocking her into a wall.
"That's it... Persona!" Twilight shouts as Seshat spins around and fires lighting into the ox. Knocking him down but not killing him.
"You have killed my brother, so take me as well. Please?" the ox says.
"As you wish... Come on team!" I shout. We attack him from all sides until nothing is left of him but an odd amulet.
"I'll take that." Twilight said smugly. She puts it on and it heals some of her minor wounds.
"Well. Pinkie is behind that door. And we have 20 minutes left to save her. C'mon let's go!" I say as I run up the stairs.
Once we reach the top floor we enter through a big door and find Pinkie knocked out in a cage.
"Oh my god! Pinkie!" Twilight starts shaking the cage.
"So. You kids finally made it." We stand there shocked at who we see.
"You're Clock Watcher aren't you?" I shout
"Ding ding ding. We have a winner."
"Why are you doing this to our friend!" Twilight screamed
"Relax. I'm just doing my job. Or is that a bad thing now?" he mocked
"What do you mean you sick bastard!" Chaplain speaks up.
"I am the owner of a business kid, first I put no effort into what I did, people told me I needed to work harder to do well. But when Sigma asks me to do a job like this you tell me to stop. Well it's good that I don't listen." Clock Watcher said
We all raised our weapons. "Any last words!" we say in unison.
"Yes... Persona!" He shouted and suddenly a man looking creature made of rock with snakes surrounding him. Appeared in front of us. It suddenly made sharp stones come out of the ground. Knocking Twilight down.
"Damnit. Persona!" Horus appears and knocks Clock Watcher down with a gust of wind.
"Chaplain. Let's go." I say as we perform an all out attack.
"You're pretty strong, but I'm stronger." smirked Clock Watcher. Suddenly his persona surrounded Chaplain in a dark aura causing him to go unconscious.
"No...." is all I can muster before I'm on my knees. I feel like crying, but that won't do anything. So I get up
"Back for more then? Ok then let's go." shouts Clock Watcher.
"Persona!" I shout summoning Chimera. But instead there is that odd horse man from before.
"I am Mezuki, I am here to punish the wicked. Let us attack!" and with that the horse throws his spear through Clock Watcher's persona.
"Ngh!" Clock Watcher falls down and I stomp on his back. We did it.
