A/N: Hi everyone. It's me, MiguelHazard and I'm back with the new persona fanfiction story called; Persona: Aigis. This story is similar to the released 2017 X-men film; Logan. But my story is very different than the film itself, so I'll try to work on that in future chapters. Don't worry yourself, I'll already got the idea how to make my story progress but no promises though.
My idea for this story was created in my mind after watching the first trailer of Logan in Youtube. Then I remember Persona 3 when I was searching for information for the characters of Persona 3 and 4. So once I realized what if I can combine Persona 3 and Logan at the same time, I started making the plot and some OC as well in February 11. It was supposed to be release in February 2017 but because of my other story "The Shipper Wars", I decided to finish it before releasing this first chapter.
That's all for now, enjoy my first chapter and see you at the end of this one.
Disclaimer:
Persona 3 and the 2017 film Logan does not belongs to me. It belongs to different creators.
Plot: In 2023, 11 years after the events of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. The Shadow Operatives were killed in the raid, leaving Aigis and Fuuka alive and escaped. In the near future, 60 year old Fuuka Yamagishi and Aigis (In near broken state) lived in the forest near Gokayama village when a 12 year old girl enlist their help as the sinister organization after her for unknown purposes.
Chapter 1: The Fall of the Shadow Operatives
In the Shadow Operatives HQ, under the Kirijo Group building. Mitsuru and Fuuka were seen talking to each other while Aigis was in huge chair with wires attached to her body.
Mitsuru was wearing the same battle clothes in the Ultimax years ago but for some reason, she is holding a FN Model 1910 pistol instead her rapier. Fuuka also wears the same clothes years ago but she had a teal-blue glasses on her eyes.
Aigis, on the other hand is damaged after the battle. Her stomach is fried and her upper body is filled with two huge blade marks, her headband was damaged, leaving only the left half, and her hands was replaced with black ones. Near her hands, two huge hidden blades were merged in her wrist.
"Please, Mitsuru-sempai. Aigis is not fully repaired yet after those kids attacked…" Fuuka tried to explain that Aigis is still damaged shortly after her friend's battle but Mitsuru interrupted her.
"We have no other choice. This company is fallen down, our secrets was leaked into the American and Japanese agencies database and the Public Safely, I lost contact with and other members of the Shadow Operatives are still holding their ground but I don't know it would last."
Fuuka should have never helped Mitsuru in the hunt for their 'special shadow' she said and we should just leave it alone. But the result got worse as time passes by, after Mitsuru ordered her androids to kill the special shadow because she is a danger to the society and succeeding it. Her friends that the special shadow met attacked our compound and their leader defeated Aigis, who is the strongest of us all, stole the kirijo's secrets and sending it the American and Japanese intelligence agencies before escaping in a helicopter.
As of tonight, they are under attack by the Public Safely and NATO forces after the Japanese government allowed them to aid their raid in our HQ and raided the entire facility. She activated the defensive androids but it won't last as both groups anticipated us and their weapons is equipped with bullets that can penetrate against metal.
They looked at the monitors and see the NATO's troops destroy their defensive androids easily. Mitsuru thinks that if both agencies trap them inside, they wouldn't able to escape it time. That's why she needed Aigis to clear the agencies in the storage area, where their limo was parked outside.
"We need to get out of here with the others before both agencies capture us. Fuuka, wake Aigis up quickly!"
Fuuka was hesitant at first since Aigis is still not repaired yet. But if they been captured, there's no guarantee that they will come out alive, even for Aigis. She sighed. "Alright, it will take just a second."
Fuuka goes to the button that says above 'release' and clicks it. The machine stops humming and Aigis wakes up from her slumber. She gets off but almost fall into the ground if not for Fuuka and Mitsuru holding both of her shoulders.
"Aigis, can you walk?" asked Fuuka.
"I think so Fuuka-san." Answered Aigis as she tries to stand up perfectly with Fuuka and Mitsuru helping her. Once she finally stands up, Fuuka and Mitsuru lets go of her shoulders.
"Aigis, can you still fight?" asked Mitsuru.
Aigis moved her new bladed weapons in both of her arms and activated them before sheathing back into her arms.
"Affirmative."
"Good, let's move out." Then the 3 of them exited the room and heads to the storage area where their limo is waiting. While Mitsuru calls for the remaining operatives to retreat, Aigis feels in her heart that is eating away as she felt that everyone she knows would be gone.
Outside of Kirijo Group building, several NATO troops push through the horde of android units that Mitsuru Kirijo made to defend. However, the NATO and the Public Safely private soldiers are much more prepared after they saw the secrets of Kirijo hidden from the goverment, including the androids weakness.
The NATO's soldiers are wearing a camo uniform and equipped with M4 Carbine while the Public Safely private soldiers are wearing a SWAT uniform and they are equipped with SMG red dot sight.
A 45 year old large man wearing a black combat jacket, black combat pants, black boots, black beret and equipped with a sniper rifle in his back. His has a modern black hair and a short beard.
The man asked a NATO soldier. "The Shadow Operatives…Where are they?"
"None, sir. They didn't surrender so we have no choice but to use force instead."
"Good." Said the man. "Make sure they don't leave them alive, got it?"
The NATO soldier knows that, despite the Japanese government join forces with the NATO forces, he doesn't their leader here but to their superiors in the Americans. However, he instead comply. "Don't worry, we make sure they won't."
After talking with the NATO soldier, he goes to his left, where the door was opened that led to the storage area. He knows that they will be escaping in the back like all criminals do.
In the Kirijo building hallways. Two NATO's soldiers tries to shoot Aigis, who is dodging their bullets before she jumped and strike the two in the neck with her blades.
After killing her opponents, she sheaths her blades as Mitsuru and Fuuka at her back, following her.
The three proceed onwards until the end of the hallway, where they see Yukari and Junpei fighting the NATO soldiers and the Public Safely with the latter using a stolen SMG while Yukari is using her featherman bow as they slowly back off to make an escape.
Junpei, looking at his left, sees Aigis, Mitsuru and Fuuka. "Hey, guys. Over here!" he waved his hand to come for them.
Once the three reached Yukari and Junpei, Aigis saw the NATO soldiers and the Public Safely at the main entrance as they kept appearing to block their escape route. "Where's Kikuno?" asked Mitsuru.
"Dead. She protected us when those men came out and starting shooting at us." The words junpei said horrifies Mitsuru. "No…I can't be…" She didn't mean to let her friend, no, her childhood friend died because of her foolishness and stupidity. She deserve responsible for what happen to Kikuno in order to hunt down the 'special shadow' that she believes is endangering humankind.
While her hunt for the 'special shadow', her friend Fuuka said to her that we should leave it alone, considering that it won't hurt everyone and is harmless than a normal one. But Mitusru told her that she still a threat and it should be put down like any other shadows they fought over the years.
She didn't know that the 'special shadow' would have any friends; especially humans if they found out it is a shadow. Because of Mitsuru's ignorance, she let her friends defeated by some teenagers who protected her, even they know it is a shadow and much more, she let the legacy of Kirijo toppled down like a falling bridge.
While Mitsuru is thinking at her faults, Aigis noticed that if they kept fighting in this area, they would have 5% chance of escaping. She and her friends needed to escape.
Noticing Aigis expression, Yukari yelled out. "There's too many of them, we need to get out here!"
"Quick to the storage area." Fuuka shouted. All of them turns around and runs at the far end of the hallway where their escape limo is waiting.
They almost reached the storage area but they see the blast doors begun to close automatically as they run faster.
"We can make it." Said Aigis as she led the way for her teammates. She, Mitsuru and Fuuka safely made it past the blast doors while Junpei and Yukari behind him runs as both agencies fired their guns to prevent their escape.
Just then, a gunshot fired and hit Yukari's left leg, falling down in pain. "Argh! My leg…I can't move."
Almost reaching the blast doors, Junpei stopped running as he runs to her aid before tending to Yukari. He turn his head around. "Go, get out of here!" He shouted as he grabbed his SMG and fires at his enemies.
"Junpei-sa…"
"Go! Now!" he yelled before he got shot in the shoulder by a NATO soldier.
Aigis prepares to aid Junpei but Mitsuru stopped her. "Aigis, let's go before they kill us all."
Aigis wanted to disobey Mitsuru and save Junpei-san and Yukari-san but when she looked at Junpei eyes, she understands his decision to stay behind and help Yukari. With a hesitant heart, she said her final goodbyes to her two friends.
"Goodbye Junpei and Yukari-san." she said as she began to tear up a little. She saw Junpei one final time as he fired his SMG at the NATO and Public Safely soldiers before the blast door closed in front of her.
"Come mon Aigis, our exit is this way." The three remaining Shadow Operatives continues to the storage area while Aigis looks back one last time before turning away her head.
Finally reaching to the storage area, they immediately hide behind the boxes after seeing some of the NATO and Public Safely soldiers are guarding the exit.
Mitsuru reloads her gun. "Are you ready Aigis?" She looked at Aigis, only to find out she is staring at her back where they have exited the hallway.
Mitsuru sighed. This was her fault as well since her sister; Labrys got destroyed by the 'special shadow' before we taken it down when the shadow was out of energy after the fight. Just we are about to take Labrys's Body, those teenagers we fought tried to save back their friend, which we eliminated it a minute ago. While we succeed escaping, we failed to bring back Labrys's body and the 'special shadow's' body because those teenagers handles themselves using their personas to defeat the rest of our combat androids and ourselves.
When we arrived back, Mitsuru thought to herself that they understand the reason of killing their 'friend' and mourn for our fallen friend. She was proven wrong when those teenagers attacked our headquarters, stolen our restricted files and possibly uploaded it to the internet and once more, Aigis was defeated by the group's leader.
Since then, Aigis is changed after the fight and she believed herself that she can't protect everyone that is close to her heart but still willing to fight for them even though she doesn't understand it yet.
Mitsuru shook her thoughts away. Now's not the time, she would get her 2 friends to safely first and then find a way how to fix this problem. "Aigis, are you ready?" she whispered again.
Aigis nodded but didn't reply nor looking back at Mitsuru before charging at the unsuspecting enemies. Before they could react, one of the NATO soldiers was cut in half by Aigis's arm-equipped blades. Then Mitsuru goes out of her hiding spot and headshots two NATO soldiers between Aigis sides.
A NATO soldier shoots the android with his M4 carbine but Aigis dodged and stepped his foot, making him scream in pain before he is sliced in the neck by Aigis, who strikes the two Public Safely soldiers in the neck by jumping above the now-dead NATO soldier, killing them as their bodies forced into the ground.
Mitsuru shoots the two NATO snipers in the top of the large boxes before shooting the rest of the Public Safely soldiers. After clearing out of both groups that guarding their escape route, Fuuka comes out of her hiding place and went to Aigis and Mitsuru.
"This room is clear, let's move out." Then they proceed to the exit once more but as they running away, they didn't notice that the large man from before, appeared in the upper balcony of the warehouse. He grabbed his sniper rifle; a Howa M1500 and position himself to shoot.
In his sights, he sees the android with a teal-blue woman behind her. He is about to shoot the android first since his superiors asked to. But behind the teal-blue girl, it was Mitsuru who defends the two from his agency and the NATO soldiers with her small gun.
Once he sees Mitsuru, his calm expression turned into rage as he remembers about his past. 5 years ago, he meets Mitsuru Kirijo for the first time after his promotion and later questions him about his knowing of shadows but he denies her and he pretends he didn't. However when she demanded if he knows about it, he threatened her to call security if she didn't leave immediately. She accepted his 'threat' before she left the building, without the word.
1 week ago, after traveling back to Japan from his completed mission. He and his colleagues went to his secluded mansion to celebrate their success. While in his phone with his little sister, he heard an explosive and lost contact with her after one of his colleagues sees his mansion on fire.
After parking near his burning mansion, he and his colleagues saw some gray metallic androids guarding the main hall. They fought and destroyed them all but by the time he reach the garden, his sister was already dead.
During fighting the mysterious androids in his mansion, he saw the logo on the back named 'Shadow Operatives'. He begins to believe that Mitsuru attacked his mansion and killed his younger sister.
The next 2 days, he went to the Kirijo Building and demanded Mitsuru to confess her acts but she simply denies his accusations and tells him to leave or she would tell his superiors that he attempted to attack the heiress of the Kirijo Group.
He leaves but not before he swore to hunt down and eliminate Mitsuru and her friends if she makes a wrong move, which the latter mockingly agrees to his 'threat' once more.
Back in the present day, he finally have the change to get his revenge on Mitsuru for killing his sister; his only family. Instead to shooting the useless friends of hers, his sights are now focus on Mitsuru's head and exhales deeply before slowly pulling the trigger.
He knew his superiors were not going to be happy if he let go of the escaping members of the Shadow Operatives. But seeing his chance and only chance to shoot that woman who destroyed his life and her sister's, he decided to let them be, believing them would never survive in the next generation.
He moves his index finger as the triggers slowly moved and moved until…
BANG!
Aigis and Fuuka stopped their tracks and they turn around to see Mitsuru stopped her movements suddenly as her eyes widened. Fuuka wanted to ask what's wrong but as they get one step closer, they looked in horror and they saw Mitsuru's head pouring out blood.
Mitsuru moves her right slowly to her head and then realized that she is shot in the head. He reached her bloodied hand to them. "Don't…lose hope…Aigis…" She muttered her last breath before kneeling down and falls to the ground, dead.
Aigis and Fuuka was shocked at their friend, died in front of their eyes. They almost escaped together, and then suddenly, their friend who helped them in their travels in Tartarus and the Abyss of Time and other adventures they went, gone. Right in their eyes.
Fuuka snapped at her thoughts and saw most of the NATO and the Public Safely soldiers breached the blast door, indicating that Yukari and Junpei died and attacked her and Aigis, who is still in shock at her that another friend of theirs died in her eyes. Fuuka knows that if they stay here, they would be dead like Mitsuru.
Fuuka yelled. "Aigis, we have to leave. Please I am begging you!" she pleaded for her friend but her words fall on deaf ears as Aigis gazed the person who shot Mitsuru. The large man smirked, finally achieved his vengeance against the corporation, and is leaving the storage area where he first entered.
Aigis's gripped her hands harder as she wanted to kill the killer who killed Mitsuru. As much she disagree with Mitsuru before, she never wanted her to die. Before she began to charge at the escaping killer, Fuuka yelled one last time. "AIGIS!"
Her mind finally comes back in reality as she saw many of NATO and Public Safely firing their weapons in full blaze. Aigis turned her head around and saw Fuuka's desperate plead. "Please Aigis, we need to leave."
Aigis closed her eyes in sadness before nodded and Fuuka grabbed Aigis's left hand as they leave the storage area. After exiting the storage area, they found the limo and entered with haste. They get into the front seats and started the limo before smashing the gate as they drove away from the now-burning Kirijo Group building.
An hour later, in the empty overpass. Fuuka notice no cars were allowed when nighttime and no other cops were spotted, decides to stop the limo. They immediately get off and went to the edge of the overpass, seeing their headquarters burned down by the NATO and Public Safely.
They don't care if they lost their riches, support and others. All they want was to help people who lost their way. But how can they help the people now since the different agencies decided to kill us rather than to live after they found illegal activities that the government and the law not notice.
Fuuka looked at Aigis but to her surprise, the latter began to cry even though she is a robot, created by the past Kirijo Group as mindless robot until the blue-haired boy arrived. She wanted to keep his promise to stop the people wish for the Fall and swore to him that they would move on with their lives.
But… How could she kept her promise if all of her friends died one by one because of some mistake we made? They died because she can't protect them from harm and failed to keep the promise she made for him.
For the first time since he departed from this world years ago, she covered both of her hands in her face as she cried harder, upon knowing this revelation. Fuuka also cries and decided to hug Aigis to share their pain together.
Aigis, still crying in Fuuka's shoulder, said "Fuuka-san. I'm sorry." Fuuka looked into Aigis's eyes. "It's okay Aigis. It's okay…"
With the loss of their headquarters and almost of their friends, they both decided to leave Tatsumi-Port Island and travel someplace safe where no one would ever find them in the future and create a new life for them to live peacefully.
But for Aigis, she would never live in peace if the one who killed Mitsuru still out there somewhere….somewhere.
A/N: The first chapter of Persona: Aigis is done at last! I can't believe it took so long to make….if not for playing Skyrim (Not the SP edition) with mods. Also, during writing of this chapter, I had to listen Johnny Cash- Hurt song to proceed to write, which the song is used by the first trailer of X-Men 2017 film; Logan.
While Persona 3 and 4 are connected to each other, Persona 5 is not since I never played it yet without an Xbox One/PS4.
To avoid a confusion, I am going to tell you all about this chapter:
Aigis's Metallic Blades - were inspired in the video game called Assassin's Creed where assassins (AKA Altair or Ezio) battle with their enemies with double hidden blades.
The Large Man – while the Large Man is 45 years old and his gender is male, I don't know how to make a description of him since I don't know how to do it and much more, I'm still finding a name to this character so he will be appearing in the future chapters in this story.
If there's any problem with my writing, reply to me okay?
Before I end this, my practice in recognition would be tomorrow morning and continues until the real deal in March 31, so don't expect a quick chapter like "The Shipper Wars" from Star vs The Forces of Evil and I needed to enjoy my summer vacation but don't worry, 2 or 3 more chapters would be finished before the end of my summer vacation. But again, no promises.
That's all for now, hoping all of you would reply to this story of which I created it. Thank for reading and see you all later: D
