Kanji Tatsumi: Equestrian Bad Ass

Kanji Tatsumi. Inaba knows him as a delinquent...that likes to sew things. But what they don't know is that hes a persona-using-shadow-ass-kicking hero. A few months ago he and his friends solved the murders that had been happening in Inaba and stopped the twisted Adachi. And get a load of this, just yesterday, he and his friends had defeated an old and powerful goddess, Izanami No Okami, keeping her from engulfing the ENTIRE world in a deadly fog.

But...Yu...the leader of the group of tight knit friends, left his uncles home in Inaba to return to his home with his parents yesterday after that final battle. And Kanji was more than a little depressed. Yu had helped him figure out who he really was and was the troubled teens  best friend. It was Yu, after all who got Kanji to admit to his strange hobby and to embrace that part of him.

Kanji sighed as he slowly and gloomily ascended the stairs to his room in his home. “G'night Ma.”

“Good night Kanji dear, sleep well.” Came the reply from his mom as the teen reached the top of the stairs.

Kanji walked down the hall and entered his small room and flopped down onto his mattress, face buried into his pillow. He had to admit he was still exhausted from fighting Izanami. The teen gave a tired sigh before rolling onto his back. “Yu...you better come back soon you son of a bitch.” The youth muttered under his breath before letting his eyes close and drifting off to sleep.

Secretly, Kanji hoped that he would have a nice dream with just him and Naoto.

Him and Naoto.

Hopefully she'd be in a biki.

Or better yet some lingerie.

If only...

If only...

…

This day has been just perfect.

The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small.

Everypony I'll soon control!

Every stallion, mare and colt!

Who says a mare can't have it all!?!

The changeling queen laughed as the last notes of her song rang throughout the air. Chrysalis looked upon her gorgeous changelings, a triumphant smirk plastered her muzzle as she gazed upon her utter victory.

“Really? This was the best defense you could muster Celestia? Ha!” The Changeling queen laughed hysterically as she turned to face the defeated elements of harmony.

The six mares in question each glared daggers at the Queen. This only made Chrysalis laugh harder. The changeling queen couldn't believe how easy it had been to infiltrate the wedding and to invade Canterlot.

Soon, SHE would be the one to rule over all of Equestria. And no pony, not even Celestia herself nor her elements of harmony could stop her.

BANG!

A brilliant flash of golden light, illuminated the room blinding every pony within the grand hall. Chrysalis blinked her eyes in annoyance and glared at the center of the room. Pony and changeling alike gave a dust cloud in the center of the hall a wide berth as said dust began to disperse.

When the dust finally cleared every pony gave a gasp of surprise, Chrysalis herself included. In the center of a small crater was some sort of creature...that was snoring in sleep.

Overly loud snores echoed throughout the entire hall as the strange thing slept. From what she could tell, the thing was bipedal and had short bleached hair. The thing had black pants on and a shirt with a skull plastered in the center, with a jacket just hanging from his shoulders.

“Subdue this...thing before it wakes up.” Chrysalis ordered.

A group of six changelings approached the crater slowly, careful to not wake the thing up. When the group was a mere step away the silence of the hall was shattered with a low growl, “You'd better be damn sure you'll be able to keep me pinned before you pull this stupid ass stunt.”

The strange being sat up and glared straight at Chrysalis, “You damn punks.”

…

Kanji drank in the sight around him, blinking slowly as he absorbed every last detail. What the hell? Was this some sort of...pony wedding? Why in the hell was he dreaming about a pony wedding? What was with the weird ass bug ponies? Were they wedding crashers?

Kanji decided he could care less, it was still his dream and it looked he was playing hero. He pointed at the light pink pony in a tattered wedding dress with the white, dark pink and violet streaked mane.

Said pony gave him a startled look, “ARE THESE THINGS RUINING YOUR WEDDING GIRL!!!!?!??!!” Kanji roared at the top of his lungs.

The strange pony nodded rapidly as everything, pony and bug pony alike,in the grand hall bored into Kanji with their stares. “Alright listen up you weird pony things in MY dream.”

Kanji took a deep breath, ignoring the exasperated looks the strange pony things gave him, “My name is Kanji Tatsumi. And I'm going to uncrash this here wedding. Even though its a dream. It's still MY dream, and NOBODY MESSES WITH KANJI TATSUMIS DREAMS!”

In a surge of motion, Kanji hurled himself forward and punched  the muzzle of one of the weird ass bug looking ponies. Before the one next to it could even blink, Kanjis other fist shot out breaking its teeth in from the force of the impact.

The remaining handful that surrounded the teen over came their shock and charged at him. Kanji whirled around, kicking his foot out. The blow knocked into the sides of one of his assailants, sending the bug thing flying across the room. But the rest managed to tackle him full forcce.

But they couldn't even budge the teen more than an inch. Kanji wrapped his arms around one of his assailants and squeezed for all he was worth. The thing squirmed in his arms, desperately trying to breathe...until one of the other two bucked him in the sides.

Kanjis grip broke as he grunted in pain from the force of the kick. “DAMNIT! YOU BASTARD!” Kanji roared at the top of his lungs before giving three rapid fire punches to the bugs snout. With each successive hit more and more green ichor flung about until the thing collapsed.

Kanji slowly and menacingly turned to face the very last bug. The thing was quite literally shivering in fear. Kanji slowly leaned forward until his nose pressed against his last foes snout.

A minute of silence passed, nothing happened while the bug things shaking grew more violent until, “Boo!” Kanji said in a monotone voice.

The bug thing shrieked as it flew off to god knows where. Kanji smirked as he turned to face the big bug thingy.

Kanji stamped a foot onto the ground and laughed, “Listen. I don't care if this a dream and I'm still wondering why the hell I'm dreaming about some pony wedding but nobody ruins a wedding on my watch.” Kanji paused for a moment, “Even if it is a wedding in a dream of mine.”

Kanji pointed a single finger at the boss bug. “And you are going down!” With a triumphant roar, the overly pumped teenager surged forward, fist cocked back and ready to smash teeth in. The big bug boss smirked at him as he charged forward.

“YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY PUNK? WELL TAKE THIS!” Kanji shouted as he was merely a foot away from the hole filled bug thing. And with a laugh, the things horn glowed green and Kanji stopped mid air, before floated forward to and in front of it, completely immobile.

“What the hell is going on?” Kanji grunted through clenched teeth as he vainly tried to move his body. She, and she was definitely a girl, simply laughed. “Did you really think you could just charge me? What a fool! You're no match for my magic! I over powered the princess of the sun herself! HAHAHAHAHHA!”

Kanjis brow furrowed in anger, “What? You think this is funny you bitch! Two can play at this game!” The teenager began to roar, thoughts of his friends filled his head , thoughts of the feelings ruined because this bug bitched crashed a some ones precious wedding....even though it was a pony...and never mind the fact that this was a dream. The youth shouted at the top of his lungs, “PERSONA!!! ROKUTEN MOH!!!!”

Kanji smiled. He couldn't help it. He didn't need to look behind to know his persona was there. Kanji raised a finger at the shocked bug lady and shouted, “ZIODYNE!” Above the bug ladys head a brilliant flash of light formed as a humongous bolt of lightning engulfed her in a brilliant flash of white.

Kanji flashed a large smile before turning his gaze upon his power. His persona. Rokuten Moh.  His persona towered above him, Rokutens head  very nearly touching the ceiling of the massive hall. The giant was colored to look as if flames were constantly lapping at the armored being. Atop his head was a giant gold medal and... the teen had to admit was the silliest looking metal mustache he had ever seen. It was unnecessarily massive, it was easy two of Kanji in width. Well, he thought it was a mustache anyway. But Kanji ignored that thought as the sight of the massive curved sword the giant held in hand inspired awe in the youth.

That is until his stupor was shattered by noticing a white mega pony hanging upside down in a green cocoon. Kanji couldn't help but chuckle when he noticed she was desperately trying to maneuver away from Rokuten Mohs massive mustache that threatened to stab her through her caccon.

Kanji pointed at the cocoon, “Rokuen Moh, cut that pony down from the ceiling.” The armored giant raised his massive sword and slashed at the base of the cocoon. As the large pony fell, his persona simply caught the thing with a massive gauntlet before gently lowering it to the floor.

Said pony blinked at him slowly before smiling. “Thank you, Kanji Tatsumi.” The pony said in a very regal and feminine voice.

Kanji blushed a little before rubbing the back of his with his hand. “Aw sheesh lady. I'm just doing what any real man would do.”

The regal pony smiled at him again and Kanji grinned in return. Kanji took the opportunity to examine the regal pony. She was easily the size of a regular horse with a coat white as snow. She had both wings and a horn but the oddest part of her was her mane. It seemed to be flowing in some unseen wind constantly. And sitting atop her head was a brilliant crown. So was this the sun princess that bug lady was talking about?

As the two simply looked at the other, smiling, a familiar voice rang out, “Did you really think it would be that easy!?!? I refuse to be beaten by a hairless monkey and his pet!”

The white pony stepped forward and was about to say something before Kanji cut her off with a wave of his hand.

Kanji turned around to face his opponent, a determined look etched upon his features, “And I refuse to lose to a bug horse that desperately wants to be a piece of moldy swiss cheese.”

Everything in the room went silent as the bug pony blinked her eyes slowly as she tried to process what the human had just said.

Some pink pony and a cyan pegasus off to Kanjis left laughed hysterically and Kanji couldn't help but smirk at the look of pure anger that splayed across the bug horses muzzle, “YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT INSOLENT WORM!”

The bug horses horn radiated green just the same as before.

“PERSONA!”

A beam of green energy shot from her horn as Rokuten Moh slammed a mailed fist in front of Kanji. The beam of energy bounced harmlessly off of the mailed fist of  Rokuten Moh. Almost immediately, Rokuten Moh slammed the blade into the earth so it stood straight up.

“PRIMAL FORCE!” Kanji shouted at the top of his lungs.

In response, Rokuten Moh held his hands out in front of him. The big bug lady screamed as an miniature explosion engulfed her form in a spectacular white ball.

“ROKUTEN MOH!” Kanji pointed a finger at the cloud of dust where the bug pony was standing not a moment before, “END IT!”

Kanjis persona raised a massive gauntlet before punching straight into the cloud of dust. A pained scream erupted from within the dust cloud. Kanji and everyone in the room stared expectantly at the dust cloud as it slowly began to drift apart.

After an eternity of waiting the dust finally cleared revealing an unconscious bug pony. Kanji smirked before pumping his fist excitedly into the air. “DIDN'T EVEN BREAK A SWEAT!”

In a flash of brilliant white light Rokuten Moh vanished as mysteriously as he had appeared. “Alright! Now that I saved the day in this dream its time for my ass to get some sweet deserts! COME ON NAOTO IN LINGERIE!”

Kanji closed his eyes and began to think as hard as he possibly could. The teens brow furrowed as he entered a deep state of concentration as he desperately tried to usher in a lingerie clad Naoto Shirogane into his dream.

When the youth finally opened his eyes his vision was not filled with sexy time Naoto. Instead, it was filled with regal pony princess thing. The pony princess gave him a sad smile, “I'm sorry Kanji but you are not dreaming. And I must ask you to stop with any further 'lingerie' comments. There are fillies and colts present.”

Kanji laughed, “Yeah, let me tell you pony princess! This is totally not a dream.” The teen exclaimed with sarcasm dripping in his voice.

“I assure you good sir this is no dream.” A very feminine looking unicorn trotted into his view. Said unicorn was followed by five other pony things, some had wings, some horns, some neither. Following them was the pony lady who was having the wedding and next to her was a very ragged looking, what he assumed anyway, groom.

“Yeah Mr.Kanji. This isn't a dream at all!” Giggled the pink pony from earlier that laughed her ass off at Kanjis 'moldy swiss cheese' joke.

Kanji laughed again, “Okay then. If this isn't a dream then this would hurt like hell.” And before any of the pony's could react the human raised an unfurled hand and slammed it palm down onto the pony princess' horn.

Almost immediately the troubled youth pulled back his hand as he screamed in agony. Kanji ignored the gasps from the ponies surrounding him as he held his hand and continued to scream. The human wailed as he held aloft bleeding hand, ignoring the ponies talking quickly to him, until he abruptly stopped.

“Wait. This hurt like hell. That means...” Kanji trailed off as realization of his situation dawned upon him. The human immediately began screaming again, “OH MY GOD THIS ISN'T A DAMN DREAM! WHAT THE HELL MAN!?!?! WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!?”

Kanji continued to scream until an orange mare punched him in the back of the head as hard as she could with her fore hooves. The last thing Kanji heard as he fell to the floor was, “Applejack! What if that really hurt him?”

To Be Continued....

Yeah. A persona 4 crossover with my favorite character from the persona series. And I'm damn proud. With this I'm announcing that I'll be working on both Dead Space Equestria Regenerated and this at the same time. When one chapter of this comes up expect a chapter of the other story within the next day or two. As usual, hope you had as much fun reading this as much as I had writing it.
