Persona 6: Outbreak

Minakoto here with a new story. This is my own standalone Persona story. I was going to post my P5 story first, but I'm going to have to delay it for a bit. I will post it in the next couple of days. I just wanted to get this one out as soon as possible. Now I want to be perfectly honest. I got the idea of this story from a YouTuber called Cross Paw Games. I think that's his name. But I decided to take that and add my own flare and twist to it. And this story will take place in America because those kinds of stories are extremely rare. But anyway, let's get to the story.

August 31- evening – Sunday – Atlanta airport

It was nine o'clock in the evening. A teenaged boy was sitting alone in the waiting room. He had short curly strawberry blonde hair and aquamarine eyes. He was wearing a Rush T-shirt, blue jeans, and green hi-top sneakers. His name was Philip Wheeler, seventeen years old. He was tired from the long plane ride. He was from Canada. His parents were sent to Japan as a part of their job. An old friend of his mother's who lived in a rural Georgia town decided to take him in for the year. He was just waiting for her.

He was about to nod off in his seat until someone walked up to him. "You must be Philip." He looked up to see a middle aged woman who looked quite pretty for her age. She had long brown hair and grey eyes. She was wearing a yellow sweatshirt, a black skirt, and black dress shoes.

"Are you my mom's friend?" Philip asked the woman.

"Why yes I am. My name is Patricia Hoffman. It's a pleasure to meet you." Patricia introduced herself in a very friendly tone.

Philip got up out of his seat and grabbed his luggage. "You're more handsome in person than in your photo. If I were only twenty years younger." She giggled. "You must be really tired. Let's get you to my house so you can rest in a comfortable bed. Follow me." Philip followed Patricia out of the building and they got into a yellow Mazda 6.

"So your mother's working overseas? It must be rough to leave home and have to stay at a straight place for a year. But you'll love Adamsborough. It may be small, but it's so peaceful."

An hour later, they arrived at a medium sized house. "This is our lovely home." Patricia said. "Come on in!" She said, unlocking the door and letting him go in first. "I'll give you the grand tour." She said. "This is the living room." In it was a black leather couch and a large flat screen TV. There were framed pictures on the wall. There were some with Patricia, middle aged man with black hair, which he assumed was her husband. There was another one with Patricia and a little girl with short orange hair. The little girl wasn't smiling in it, though.

"And this is the kitchen." It was nice looking kitchen with marble counters and an electric stove. At the kitchen table there was a girl sitting there eating a cup ramen. She looked about his age. She had short orange hair and teal eyes. She was wearing a Sword Art Online T-shirt and short shorts. He could tell just from the shirt she was an otaku. Not that that was a bad thing. He was an anime fan, too, and none of his friends back in Canada were into anime.

"And this is Stephanie." Patricia said, pointing to her.

"Stephanie, this is Philip. He'll be staying here with us for the rest of the year. Say hi." She said.

Stephanie didn't say anything, she just waved her hand.

"She doesn't talk much, does she?" Philip asked Patricia.

She shook her head. "She doesn't speak at all."

"Is she mute?" Philip asked.

"No, she can talk, but she just doesn't. She hasn't spoke in years. Because of what happened to her…" She trailed off.

"What happened to her?" He inquired.

"I can't say in front of her. I'll tell you another time." Patricia said. "A-Anyways, you must be so tired. I'll show you to your room. Your stuff should already be up there. Philip followed her upstairs.

"This is your room." She said, opening up the door. The room had a queen sized bed and a bunch of cardboard boxes were by a desk in the corner. "You look like you're about to collapse. You get on to bed, okay?"

"*yawn* I'll do just that."

"Tomorrow will be your first day of school. So get some rest. Good night." She said, closing the door.

Philip changed into his PJs and went to bed. He fell asleep as his head hit the pillow.

He woke up to find himself to find himself in a hospital room. The walls were purple. "Huh? How did I get here?" He asked to himself. He turned his head to see an old man sitting in a desk. He had on a black suit, grey balding hair, bloodshot eyes, a long nose and a nightmarish grin. There was a woman standing beside him. She looked like she was in her twenties. She had on blue nurse uniform. She had long silver hair and yellow eyes.

"Welcome to the velvet room, my dear young man." The man said.

"W-Who are you…?" Philip asked, completely dumbfounded.

"My name is Igor. I am delighted to make your acquaintance." The man named Igor introduced himself. "This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. Only those who are bound by a 'contract' may enter. I hope summoned you to speak of important matters. A terrible catastrophe is imminent. If you do not take action, your future will be forever lost. You will soon awaken to your power, and your recovery will begin." The man said ominously.

"What are you talking about?" Philip asked

"Please forgive my negligence. This is my assistant. Her name is Victoria." He completely ignored his question.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Sir Philip." She said in a drone like voice.

"Our time here is up. We shall meet again. *chuckle* I look forward to it."

"Hey you never answered my question…!" Was what Philip said before he lost consciousness.
