A/N : OH MAI GAWD ANOTHUR FAN FICTION. IT'S PROBABLY GONNA FALL LIKE ALL THE OTHER OLD ONES. BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Yeah. Just a heads up. By the way, here's a small thing about the story. P3P, Minato and Minako as Wild Card users. Minato's using the New Game +, while Minako is using abilities of the New Game +, yet cannot access thy compendium, or create those max S-Link Personas. She does get the stat bonuses and yen, but not the weapons or Minato's memories.

Oh, and did I mention I planned for this AU fanfic to go with a past? Yeah, as if The Answer wasn't enough. =x=


Time never waits.

It delivers all equally to the same end.

You, who wish to safeguard the future,

however limited it may be..

You will be given one year;

go forth without falter,

with your heart as your guide..


A small jolt made the poor teenager shocked, and he cried softly in pain. He opened his eyes, a little tired and annoyed. With one hand he grabbed his head, and groaned. The place was all to familiar, but he wasn't happy with it – The Velvet Room.

Back to Square One.

A fuzzy silhouette in black appeared at the edge of his vision. With its cane and long nose, the boy muttered a curse, and lifted up his head after blinking multiple times. "Ah, so you're awake!" The odd voice struck his memory, and the boy, irritated, looked up straight to the man.

"I'm sorry to call you back here. It seems that your journey hasn't ended yet." He opened his mouth, but was interrupted. "I know, the Great Seal and the Answer. We've sort of hit a.. technical difficulty." Frowning, the man added, "Erebus' power was strong. Ah.." He glanced away, and looked back at him. "It's not you who has a problem. In fact.. Elizabeth's brother requested it." The teen gave the host a confused look. Requested?

"Elizabeth even enforced it. It was a good idea.." He smiled. "I'm sorry, you must have questions. Please, go on right ahead." The boy hesitated, before responding. "What's the plan?" The man chuckled. "You'll see."

"My Social Links.."

"They've been reset. Imagine if you were starting anew. We've managed to salvage a few things from the past though, and hope they might help you. Your compendium is also safely kept by Elizabeth, however it's not up to me to when you'll receive your old Personas."

The boy sighed, and added, "That shock.." The man merely shifted his eyes to the right. The boy did the same and noticed the elevator attendant.

"Ah.."

"Time marches on in your world. I'm sorry, but our time is up." The boy looked upset a little, yet asked, "The key?"

"It is already in your possession. But I will be busy with another.. guest." He looked a little anxious, but returned to his grin. "The Velvet Room will be closed for awhile, as to that specific guest. I have to make arrangements. Now, I believe our meeting has dragged on long enough."

With a final farewell, the boy drifted off into darkness.
