The first thing Minato heard was the sound of birds chirping, he also felt a small breeze of wind blow over his body and was on a solid layer, probably grass. Opening his eyes in panic, Minato quickly sat up and darted his head around, He was in a small field in a country side and saw a small town in the distance.

"W-what the hell, W-why am I here" Minato though, his mind in a panic, thinking back to when he became the seal for Nyx, the Goddess of death. Suddenly he felt a small vibration in his pocket, raising an eyebrow, Minato reached into his pocket and to his surprise, was a phone.

"A phone?, I don't remember ever having a phone of this make and model before" Minato though, before turning it on. It showed a message

Dear Minato Arisato

It is me, Elizabeth of the Velvet Room, I'm sure you have noticed that you are no longer a seal for the Goddess of death and do not be alarmed, I have freed you with the strong strength of your bonds and of course some of my power but do not worry, The seal is still intact and Nyx will not be showing up anytime soon.

However I may have accidentally dropped you into a different time period because of how long you were a seal, But I have prepared you the money you have kept safe before your "Passing" along with a new phone which you are currently using to read this.

I'm afraid I can not tell you more, so I bid you good luck and hope that we may see each other again soon

From Elizabeth of the Velvet Room

Minato blinked in surprise "Elizabeth removed me from the seal and I'm in the future, jeez I wonder how long it's been" He thought, looking down at his body, Minato saw he was still wearing his Gekkoukan High School uniform, he also felt his MP3 player along with the headphones.

It was now, when Minato noticed the sun was beginning to set, it would be at least a few hours before midnight. "Hm, I better get to that town before it gets dark" Minato spoke out loud to himself. Getting to his feet, he saw his old school bag and grabbed it, he then walked down the field where he saw a road.

A Few hours Later

It wasn't before long where Minato made his way into the town, although it was dark, the town's many lights helped him. In front of him was a huge sign, Minato curiously walked over to it and squinted to see the writing.

It read, Welcome to Iaiba, We welcome you with open arms!. Minato raised an eyebrow at the slogan but shrugged, he walked past it and began to make his way into the town. The night sky was slightly cloudy, Minato discovered it was raining earlier due to the large sheer amount of puddles on the roads and paths.

"Hm, I wonder what time it is" Minato thought, pulling out his phone, he saw it was 11:59. "Jeez it's that late already" he said surprised "I must have been walking forever". Minato looked up from his phone and found himself near a train station, it looked empty and it was quiet.

"Huh, looks like everyone went home for the night" Minato said out loud, however after the timer on his phone moved to 12:01, something strange happened. The lights and the phone suddenly went, causing the boy to nearly jump out of his skin, and just as the lights went out, a thick roll of fog moved in around him and the night sky turned a dark shade of red.

Minato stood there in fear for several minutes before whispering "What the hell is going on here!", it was a dangerous situation for him due to his memories of the Dark Hour back in Port Island, not only did this look dangerous but he was also completely defenseless against any Shadows.

"I got to get out here fast" Minato though and quickly ran as fast as he feet would take him, however he was unaware of a massive tower overlooking the town on a single building which resembled a school.

Minato finally came to a stop near a convenient store and began to catch his breath, "What the hell is going on here, I thought the Dark Hour was gone when I became the seal" He though furiously, however a voice caught his attention. Poking his head around the store corner, he saw two people talking and silently gasped, "Its that Junpei and Yukari!, what are they doing here?" Minato though in shock as he saw his two old friends talk, he also noticed that they were wearing different clothing.

Junpei was wearing a light Aqua Base-Ball uniform and was wearing Aqua cap backwards. He has also gotten taller and wore a strange necklace which seemed familiar to Minato somehow. Yukari was also different, she was taller but not as tall as Junpei and wore what seemed to be a pink uniform which reminded him of the Feathermen show he use to watch back at the dorm. He leaned in slightly to hear better.

"Hey, Yuka-tan!" Junpei spoke "Uh, I'm making an effort, at least, so...!" he trailed off, Minato gave a silent snort of amusement, still the same old Junpei he knew. However what he said next startled him.

"But, hey... Mitsuru-senpai's gone missing" Junpei asked "What's going on?". Minato's eyebrows raised in shock as it sunk in, the Mitsuru Kirijo was missing!. He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Yukari sigh, he saw Junpei had now looked nervous.

"So.., you look great, huh? Is that your, uh, Feather Pink outfit?" Junpei asked, judging by his tone of voice, he seemed like he was trying to lighten the mood but it didn't seem to be working "Are you doing an autograph tour out here? "Come meet the Feathermen!"? heh".

Yukari's brow scrunched up in annoyance "You never shut up, do you?, You're nothing but a minor character!" She spat, the mere tone of the anger in her voice had taken Minato and Junpei aback "A mook, a minion, a loser! Just die and let the world have your body back!"

Minato watched the scene with wide eyes "The hell!, Yuakri would never say something this harsh to Junpei, even if he is being annoying", Junpei simply blinked in confusion at her attitude and raised his arms in a gesture like he was trying to calm her down.

"H-Hey, what!? Aren't you being crueler than usual!?" Junpei asked, Minato silent gave a sympathetic look to his old friend, what the hell had gotten in Yukari, because he knew this wasn't the girl he fell for back in Port Island.

Yuarki scoffed in annoyance "Ugh, it's time for your punishment! Bring on the ring!" The last four words suddenly sounded distorted, suddenly a mix of Red and Black fog rapped around Yukari's body before disappearing, Minato noticed Yukari now had glowing Yellow eyes which reminded him of the Strega leader Takaya Sakaki.

As Yukari raised her hand, four Red glowing pillars suddenly fell around the area, it seemed to have formed a fighting ring, Suddenly a TV dangled down from a telephone pole, the screen turned on and showed what seemed like a cartoon looking bear wearing a hat and a cigar in it's mouth.

"Hahahahahaha... You're a quick leaner, for an idiot." The bear taunted "No wonder you're a member of the Shadow Operatives". Minato raised an eyebrow, "Shadow Operatives, who are they and why is Junpei a member?". Junpei was taken aback and faced the TV.

"Wh-Who the hell're you!?" Junpei asked the Bear "I don't know what's going on, so you'd better explain yourself! If this is some prank show, it's not funny".

The Bear didn't seem to like Junpei's attitude and scowled at the Base-Ball player "You really are a yappy idiot!" The Bear said in annoyance "Now, let's begin Operation World Destruct-I mean, the one-on-one P-1 Climax", Minato was now deeply worried, not only did Jumpei seem to be in danger but also the world judging by what the Bear said before it corrected itself.

Junpei simply gave a confused look and raised his left eyebrow "P-1 Climax!?" he asked, not that Minato blamed him, he was also confused by what this Bear said about the P-1 Climax thing.

The Bear once again looked annoyed "I'm not in the mood to drag this out, so I'll just give a short rundown." The Bear began "The rules are simple: Win and you get to move on; Lose and you're stuck here". Alarm bells were screaming danger in Minato's head when he realized what the Bear meant.

Junpei was taken aback "Huh?, You mean I have to fight Yuka-Tan?" He asked, however the screen turned Black and the TV disappeared. The thing which looked like Yukari sighed in annoyance.

"You really are a pain in the ass. If you're not gonna do this, then hurry up and die!" She growled "Here we go! PERSONA". Suddenly a large creature appeared behind Yukari, Minato was shocked "D-Did she just summon a Persona without her Evoker" Minato stuttered in shock.

Junpei jumped backwards and raised his arms like he was trying to calm Yukari down "W-Whoa! Hold on, Feather Pink, w-we can talk this out!" Junpei stuttered slightly "I mean, you shouldn't be pointing that at people!". However Junpei was unaware of the attack from the side, Minato quickly abandoned his cover and ran over to the two fighters.

"JUNPEI, LOOK OUT!" Minato called out, catching both of the fights off-guard. The two quickly faced in his direction, just in time for Minato to tackle Junpei out of harms way just as the attack hit the air where he was just standing at. The two boys let grunts as the collided with the ground, Minato shook his head while Junpei stared in shock.

"M-Minato!?" Junpei said, his eyes wide open in shock "W-What the he-, What are you doing here!?", the Base-ball player was deeply shocked at the sight of his old friend, especially after how he died and became a seal between the Goddess of death.

Minato sent a glance in Junpei's direction and quickly got to his feet "There's not time to explain" Minato said as he quickly grabbed for his Evoker, (Which was luckily packed in the bag by Elizabeth) and aimed for his head while he stared at Yukari, Minato noticed she didn't look shocked nor angry instead she look surprise.

"W-What the!, This wasn't part of the plan" Yuarki blinked before narrowing her eyes in determination "Hmp, it doesn't matter now, get ready to go back to the grave Minato, PERSONA" The Persona of Isis appeared behind her and got into position to attack, Minato however spun the Evoker in his hand and give his own determined glare.

"PERSONA" Minato called out, he pulled the trigger and the familiar sound of smashing glass reached his ears, the old figure of Orpheus floated, Minato then pulled out his sword and got into a battle position "Bring it on Yukari" he yelled and charged forward, Yukari did the same with her Persona and then the two began to clash.

Meanwhile Junpei sat on the ground, watching the whole scene in shock and disbelief at the sight of Minato even being alive again, "What the hell is going on?!" Junpei though as the battle begun.

Hey there everyone, TWDGamerFan421 here and first of all thank you for reading this first chapter.

I will admit, the Persona series has really gotten my eye ever since I first watched a video on the first Persona summoning in Persona 5, I really enjoy the series and majority of it's characters.

So tell me on how you thought about this chapter, also forgive me if some of the text is weird, I'm not used to using Japanese honorifics. Anyway, how will Minato deal with Shadow Yukari and how will the Shadow Operatives react to reuniting their old friend long thought dead by becoming the seal.

This is TWDGamerFan421 signing out and thank you all for reading.
