Hello Persona fans I was going through some the fic here and found Time within the great seal by Angel of light darkness but ended it after four chapters for good reasons in it Minato has a inner world with in the seal and his personas have personalities I loved this idea so I asked him/her if I could use it to make story of my own. Now we go.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Persona series only this story and characters I make for it.
Chapter 1: A Deal is Made
"Well this getting old." Minato thought to himself, he the great seal who stopped the Fall and saved the world from the night goddess Nyx who had been the only company for Minato to his displeasure at first but slowly he started think of the goddess as something more than a prisoner he had to watch but something like a friend. strangely Nyx didn't respond to his complaining which she always did.
"Hey Nyx you still there?" he asked the for once silent goddess only to receive a low growl from the still recovering Erebus the manifestation of humanity's grief and negative emotion."I wasn't talking to you fur ball." The beast just snarled trying to lift one of it's heads only of it fall back down."Still can't move huh... my friends gave you one hell of a beat down haha." Minato laughed a bit at remembering his friends and all the good times they had but that was all gone at least he got to see them one last time.
"But remember you did save them and many others." the voice of Nyx echoed from behind the seal.
"Hey Nyx so hows it going today?" Minato jokingly asked the goddess.
"You know as well as I do that we wait until Erebus recovers to see if he can break the seal or find someone to do it for him." Nyx answered seriously not catching that Minato was joking.
"Yea yea I know that, it's just boring here and Erebus still has like 6 months before he's back to pounding on me again." Minato groaned even if it didn't do anything to the seal it was still annoying as hell to get hit constantly and do nothing about it.
"You could always drop the seal." Nyx proposed Knowing what Minato would say in return.
"Oh that's great idea but one problem if I do that then your husband over there is going get you and bring the Fall and that's not going to be any fun for everyone else now is it?" Minato told the goddess without any kind of emotion.
"So that's sarcasm it's just as you explained it." Nyx said in the same way as Minato."Like I informed you Erebus and I got married and as for children, we brought them into existence on our own like you and your personas. The only thing we had to do together was bring the Fall nothing romantic at all." Nyx retold Minato what she had told after he had sealed her.
"So does that mean I got a shot to win your heart my dear." Minato joked again but this time Nyx remained silent."Uh Nyx?" He was starting get worried that he went too far with his joking.
"Silence someone is coming." Nyx finally answered to Minato surprise.
"But the abyss of time is gone and Erebus still down of the count." Minato said getting another growl from the downed beast.
"Hey Nyxie-chan it's been half a year why haven't you and Erebus brought the Fall yet." The voice of a man came from the void around the seal out of it came man in a black cloak that moved around as he walked towards the seal."What's this it wasn't here last time...oh hello there who are you? you look a little bit...stiff?" The man looked down at the stature of Minato with his eyes which were black voids with stars in them, his face was pale and he had long black hair.
"Minato and you are?" Minato asked the strange man confused as ever.
"He's Chaos the primeval void and a annoying idiot." Nyx answered for Chaos while also showing her hate of the old being.
"Hey I'm not that annoying!" Chaos yelled back and turned into what look like a 9 year old boy."Now look what you did!" he snap his fingers and turned into a teenager to his dismay.
"Correction a annoying idiot who still can't use his powers." Nyx teased the newcomer.
"Oh shut up where are you anyway?" Chaos asked Nyx looking around for her.
"She's behind this seal I made which I am by the way." Minato answered Chaos who looked at him confused.
"I don't see a seal anywhere around here do you?" Chaos said with wide smile.
"What do you mean?" Minato asked only to realized he could move and talk normally looking down he was back in his school uniform, mp3 player and all."What!? how!? when!?" Minato could only look on as Chaos still had his smile.
"See Nyxie-chan I've gotten better over the years." Chaos then put a hand over the door to where Nyx was and it opened in flash of white light that faded to show Nyx looking about 18 her skin white like snow. her raven hair reaching her waist some bangs over her face with blue eyes just like Ryoji. she was dressed in a black sleeveless dress that had feathers near the end that stop at her knees she was also barefoot. she pushed back some her bangs and looked directly at Minato who looked back.
"You're just like I'm remember you." she sent him a smile making his cheeks flare up.
"Well you look a lot different the last time I saw you, you were a glowing egg with hands." Minato joked getting a laugh out from Nyx."Wow she looks even better than I thought she would" he said in his mind hopeful that Nyx didn't read it this time while the two had their little moment Chaos was getting irritated since no one paid him any attention.
"Hey I'm I not important I am the one who freed you two!" Chaos yelled making Nyx look at him annoyed and Minato looked like he didn't care."What's with the way you two are looking at me is there something I should know?"
"Well if you must know Minato has The Universe Arcana so what you just did he could do it too and stop calling me by that nickname." Nyx informed the primeval void who went over to Minato
"So you're why Nyxi- I mean Nyx and Erebus haven't cause The Fall?" Chaos waited for Minato to answer.
"Yea." Minato simply said but got a shocked look."OH NO THE FALL! EREBUS!" When he turned around he came to the site of Erebus still laying on the ground."Huh but why?" he asked out loud for anyone to answer.
"The seal is still up I just freed you and Nyx from your restrictions is all." Chaos told Minato walking over to the downed Erebus."Besides this guy lost I have no time for losers only winners like you." Chaos then appear in front of Minato with a punch but it was stopped by a white hand gripping tightly on his arm."Huh!" when he looked up he stared right into the face of Thanatos."Oh my!" Chaos was then thrown into one of the open doors making it crumble down on top of him and Thanatos let out a roar.
"Are you alright master?" Came the voice of Orpheus Telos his lyre in hand ready for anything.
"He is fine Orpheus it is the other one we should worry for." Now Messiah appear unhappily looking at Thanatos."You didn't have to do that you know?"
"Better safe then sorry." Thanatos answered in a deadpan.
"Guys it's great to see you all but I didn't think you'd talk other than the times I summoned you?" Minato asked with both excitement and confusion at his most used personas coming to his aid.
"Allow me to explain." Messiah offered and continued to talk with out answer."When you summon us it is only for battle that required much focus on both side so talking was not a need but in here we can hold our forms better so we can talk now"
"Okay but where is here?" Minato asked to which all of his personas shrugged and he face palmed.
"I can answer that." from under the rubble Chaos got up his neck and arm twisted in painful looking ways and his Cloak was tore in a few places."Man you did a number on me." He commented on his state then with his other arm he snap his neck back as the twisted arm healed."And my clothes too." he snapped a finger and was now dressed in black shirt and jeans barefoot like Nyx."Much better to answered your question this is the sea of souls where all life starts and ends the part you're in is where Erebus lays." he said wide smile on his face again.
"Wow" Minato looked around to see the black void that was there faded away to show a sky filled with endless stars.
"All of those are souls of animals, persons, gods everyone all out there." Nyx explained to Minato seeing his amazement and smiled.
"But more importantly I have a deal for you Minato." Chaos slowly walked towards Minato until his personas blocked him.
"That's as far as you get." Messiah stated looking at Chaos coldly.
"It's okay guys so what's the deal Chaos?" Minato asked his personas backing off.
"I'm bored with this place nothing interesting ever happens and it drives me nuts I'm the embodiment of Chaos I need to see more than just stars!" Chaos shouted out surprising Minato and Nyx."I'll do anything for this place to have some life but no one talks to me other then Nyx and Erebus so finding help is hard. That's why I want to make a deal with you because you can make a whole world in that seal of yours."Chaos pointed to the inside of the door.
"Didn't you try that with Erebus." Nyx reminded Chaos of his last deal.
"Well as you can see he didn't bring the fall thanks to this guy so I'm going with him now." Chaos pointed a thumb at Minato who looked at him suspiciously."Yes I made a deal with him to bring The Fall and rule your world he came close but failed even with all the power I gave him." Chaos again looked at Erebus with disappointment.
"And what makes you think I will just make a deal with you?" Minato questioned still suspicious about Chaos.
"If you don't I'll just put you two back the way you were and this time you wouldn't be able to talk together." Chaos snarled showing his wrath from the old days making Nyx hold on to Minato's hand.
"Minato." she whispered her fear of losing her friend beginning to show.
"Fine what do I do." Minato obeyed feeling the same way Nyx did and squeeze her hand.
"Great! All you gotta do is watch over the personas you have, if it works out maybe later others from different people will come too it's going to be fun!"Chaos made a complete 180 from how he was a moment ago from anger god to happy teenager."But first you need some help to keep them in line how many personas can you take with you at once?" he asked Minato.
"Uh 12 that was my max." Minato answered a bit worried about if he could do what Chaos wanted.
"Wow that's a lot you wildcards don't play around. Well go on call the 12 you wish to help you rule your world." Chaos formed a gateway that shined in many colors.
"Well I have Messiah, Orpheus and Thanatos that makes three." Minato paused to think who to call first."first up Pixie." and like that from the gateway came Pixie she flew to Minato at seeing him taking a bow.
"It's a pleasure to serve again master." she said sweetly
"You know you can call ANY of your personas right." Chaos told Minato disappointed by his first choice.
"She was the first personas I got in Tartarus." Minato responded.
"Hmmm that's something I guess ok next." Chaos said still displeased.
"Jack frost." Minato called the little snow spirit hopped out of the gateway and made a peace sign.
"hi boss hee ho." he cheerfully said as Minato smiled at him Chaos on the other was trying to hold his rage putting a hand over his face.
"Now you're just fucking with me and oddly I'm ok with it." he groaned pulling the hand on his face down slowly.
"Ok time for a heavy hitter Thor." Thor walked out of the gateway and raised a hand to sky in bolt of lighting his hammer came to him as he bowed to Minato.
"I am your loyal warrior master use me as you see fit."
"Now this is what I'm talking about nice choice!" Chaos cheered at seeing a powerful personas like Thor and waited for the next one with anticipation.
"Norn." the three goddess appear accompanied by their clock.
"We wish to serve you." They all said in unison as they always do.
"Three in one not bad next one." Chaos was pleased again by Minato's choice.
"Ok lets try two at once Set and Horus." the two personas came forth Horus shined with bright light his wings out stretched while Set kept his in giving off a dark aura.
"I am your's to commanded my lord." Horus was the first to speak closing his wing the light going away.
"You better put me to good use master." Set growled a bit to show his enthusiasm at being called.
"Thank you both next is Siegfried." Minato called his tenth persona who walked out of the gateway sword held high.
"May my sword be of use to you my king." he said as he bowed
"It will be now raise. The next one is Lucifer." Minato called the gateway turned black as Lucifer the rebel god came out of it in his angelic form.
"So we meet again master this time I will serve to your natural end." he said making everyone else sweat drop.
"Whoa the rebel god Lucifer." Chaos said not knowing how to feel about this choice.
"Sacred I might come after you?" Minato joked with Chaos seeing his discomfort.
"Like hell! now make you last choice!" Chaos retorted with anger.
"Ok ok last up is Alice." Minato called his last persona who walked out of the gateway with a skip she whirled around and took a bow as the gateway closed behind her.
"Thank you for picking me master." she said making the cutest face.
"Ok this one makes me wonder what goes on in that head of yours why did you called her of all things!?" Chaos yelled like he did for the first two pointing at Alice."What can she do anyway!?"
"Alice." Minato simply said and Alice snap her fingers and sent all of the dyne attacks at Chaos who got burnt, frozen, shock and blown away all at the same time clashing into the other door of the seal.
"Should I add a Megidolaon to it master." Alice turned to Minato smiling forming a ball of light.
"Okay that hurt like hell." Chaos groaned as he pulled himself out of rubble for the second time in one day his body horribly damage even bone showing but it was all fixed with snap of a finger from him."Reminded me never to ask you a dumb question." He said in a deadpan.
"OK." Minato said with smile to mock Chaos."So now what?" he asked looking at the void in with seal
"You can do what you want you have The Universe Arcana it can create a world for the personas where you can do anything except the personas you picked are the only ones you can use the others will be on their own and may even try to knock you off the throne and take rule, other than that your god." Chaos explained making a armchair appear for him sit on."You'll be able to do stuff like this it's going to be so fun much." he change into his 9 year old self compete with teddy bear.
"Uh right well what about Nyx?" Minato asked not sure how to react to Chaos's change he also noticed that he hadn't let go of Nyx's hand this hold time and kept holding it.
"I can see that you and her have a thing going so she can go with you I don't want her around she's a meanie!" Chaos stuck his tongue out at Nyx who glared at him."See take her with you before she hurts me!" he hid behind his chair."I'll stop by sometimes to check on you."
"Ok everyone we got a world to make and watch over" Minato told his personas following him and Nyx as they went into the great seal and with a wave of a hand he fixed the doors and closed it.
"Wow he's already able to fix things this was an excellent deal."Chaos said now back to how he was he when first showed up smiling at the way things turn out.
"Why did you not help me Chaos." Erebus growled words for the first time in a long time at Chaos.
"Didn't you hear me the first time I have no time for loser like you." Chaos bent completely backward to see Erebus with a mocking smile."Even with the shadows you couldn't bring the fall you are weak and you make me regret giving you power I should have given all of it to Nyxie-chan but I wasted it on you." he bent back and opened a gateway for himself."I hope you rot away back to the void you crawled from." was the kindest good bye Chaos could say to Erebus as he left.
"You call me weak, a regret, a waste but you are wrong I will bring the Fall and you just help me with it!" Erebus roared getting up on one of his hands."A world filled with personas the perfect place for my shadows!" He looked at the door of the seal as he could feel some of his shadows inside."HAHAHA thank you Nyx you just cost that boy his world by going with him my shadows will wait until they can get powerful hosts and then I WILL RULE HAHAHA!" His demonic laughter ringed out into the sea of souls.
