A/N: Hey guys! I know, I said I`d never use again, but I want some of my stories to be here so that others can see them. This is my P4G and Beyblade Shogun Steel crossover, and I hope you enjoy! Nothing except the idea to make this story and my OCs belong to me!
"Argh! C`mon you stupid Shadow! Die already!"
"Go get `em, Abby-chan!"
Yells could be heard from Saky Kuroyami`s bedroom as herself and Abby Catherine were playing a certain JRPG. They both managed to grab the vanilla Persona 4 and a PS2 Slim, both of which were rarities at this point, and decided to start playing it. Unfortunately for one other person, their yelling wasn`t ideal.
Sakyo Kuroyami sighed for the umpteenth time that day, trying desperately to ignore the dual otakus` yelling by listening to music and finishing his slightly overdue homework.
`Ugh, StudyIsland is a bitch!` he thought to himself, once again not getting the question right. He groaned, knowing that he needed to stop the program before he stressed himself over it. Besides, he needs to get those two under control before he gets an even worse headache.
With that thought, he got up from his garnet bed and walked next door to his sister`s room. The door was open, giving him ample view of the girl`s activities.
What he saw was a silver haired teen fighting a giant frog thing. Great.
"Hey, keep it down in here! I`m trying to do my homework, if you haven`t noticed!" Sakyo said in an exasperated tone. Both girls looked up at him, one of them starting to smirk.
"Oh, are you doing Week 5`s StudyIsland again, Sakyo-kun~? I could help you, y`know?" Abby asked, looking at him slyly. She had completed that particular assignment a few weeks ago, after struggling a bit, while the red haired teen chose to stop after 39 questions and ask for a reset. Abby had done the same, but she did so the night of the reset.
Sakyo growled at her smug expression, knowing that this particular topic was difficult for himself. After all, Comparing Functions was confusing to everyone! It also didn`t help that the wording of the questions weren`t always clear. Putting that aside, Sakyo glanced at the large flat screen TV that currently showed a cartoon-style bear giving advice to the player, the large frog monster swaying in the background.
"What is that thing?" he wondered aloud, indicating the frog. Saky glanced at her brother with glee.
"Oh, that? That`s Yosuke Hanamura`s Shadow`s true form!" she exclaimed, impressively in one breath. Sakyo raised a brow, and Abby explained as she used an electricity attack on the "Shadow".
"Basically, when you have suppressed feelings-Ouch, dammit!-that you don`t want others to know about-What the hell was that supposed to do, stupid Shadow?!-they manifest into a "Shadow Self"."
At this, Sakyo`s eyes widened slightly. `Suppressed feelings, huh?`
Suddenly, the Shadow fell into a heap of black and red smoke, while both girls cheered at the victory. Sakyo chuckled to himself, going back to his own room. `I`m gonna play that game when they leave the room. The premise of it seems extraordinary!`
It wasn`t long until he heard the girls exiting the room, both stretching from the extended time playing.
"Let`s take a break. We`ve been playing for awhile, and I`m hungry!" Abby said, running downstairs as Saky quickly followed her.
Meanwhile, Sakyo quickly went inside his sister`s room, grabbing the pink wireless controller off the floor. Luckily, the girls had saved their game and took it back to the title screen beforehand, allowing Sakyo to start a new game right from the get-go.
After selecting `New Game` and selecting the difficulty (Easy, because of those extra chances and because he never played this game before), the opening cutscene played.
It depicted a man with bloodshot eyes and very long nose as well as a pale blonde haired woman with sharp golden eyes sitting in a blue limousine.
"Welcome to the Velvet Room." The man said in a very mysterious voice.
After the cutscene ended, another choice suddenly appeared.
`Do you want to start your journey?`
Yes
No
Sakyo squinted at that. Wait, isn`t that obvious with him starting the game? Without giving it a second thought, he clicked on his answer.
Yes
Suddenly, the screen completely turned white with a light that quickly engulfed the room, and Sakyo quickly found himself being swept away by the light.
His screams echoed throughout the walls of the room and beyond, and when the two girls finally managed to run upstairs, the room was completely devoid of people. But, on the screen, there was a single message box.
`The second Fool is of Dragon descent...`
