Wait, a new story alongside ATOTW? I've been on a big Persona vibe of late, and I'll try to flipflop these, but these do use the same characters from ATOTW, plus an additional two new characters. So enjoy, and if you are into Pokémon, feel free to also check out ATOTW, although it is different from ATOTW if you are coming from over there. Enough blabbering of mine, enjoy
Logan had awoke on a bright morning, although he felt something... different, he also had a mysterious text on his phone that he couldn't tell what it meant, something about a "Velvet Room". But he didn't read too much into yet. At the same time, Hannah also got a similar text when she woke up. "Hey, did you get an odd text this morning?" Hannah texted Logan. "Yeah, I can make too much sense of it either, let's chat about later." He replied. He proceeded to get ready and go to school. Something to him, and Hannah, felt a little... different inside of them. But they couldn't tell what exactly it was. Logan put some thought into it going to school, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly this "Velvet Room" truly was, he was a gamer, but he couldn't exactly tell what it was coming from, but it gave them purpose in something.
Logan walked out of school and went for a walk just outside to get his thoughts together. Hannah texted him, in some weird code, to meet up in a forest. He obliged, but first he had a problem he had to attend to that he overheard. Someone was trying to bully his other friends. "Lay off, bro." He came to the aid of his friend Mackenzie, or as it was preferred, Mac. "Now what do you have on me that I can't punch you in the face for?" The kid arrogantly said. "So you'd hurt a girl and then also hurt me? The fact you'd hurt a girl just means your a big fat chicken and probably likes to sit alone listening to sad music knowing you'll be a sad teenager with no love life." Logan relentlessly retorted. "What the hell, bro?" He said, and attempted to punch Logan in the face, which he missed horribly and stumbled and landed on his face. Logan and Mac both shared a laugh at him. "Thanks for standing up for me." Mac told him. "No problem. But now, if you'll excuse me, I have other business to attend to." Logan replied and quickly left to go save another friend. While he was rushing. He finally realized in his untapped potential, his true Persona.
Logan met up with Hannah near the beginning of the forest. "That weird text we both got this morning. It means we both share the qualitys of the Fool Arcana, because, on my way here, I realized exactly what's going to happen here involving us." Logan explained. "Slow down, so we can wield Personas?" Hannah asked. "Yup, and because of the Fool Arcana, we have access to a wide variety of things." Logan explained. Along the way, they heard louder noises deep into the forest. "C'mon, let's go see what the noise is all about." Hannah told him, they made it to a clearing where they saw Shadows appearing out of nowhere. "What are those things?" Hannah asked. "Something we're ready for, you ready?" Logan asked, and she nodded. "PERSONA!" They yelled in unison.
With a blue light emanating from the two teens, Logan raised his arms over his head, creating an x shape, Hannah made an impressed look on her face, then Logan slashed through his card, and Hannah did a fist pump through her card, thereby summoning both Izanagi, for Logan, and Orpheus for Hannah. "Let's rock the place!" They said and their Personas unleashed Zio and Agi and destroyed all the shadows surrounding them. "and that, is game." Logan said. "So, it seems we are a new group of Persona-users." Logan said. "But it wouldn't be specifically the two of us alone will it?" Hannah asked. "We can talk about that later. But I know a lot more then you right now, 'll explain it later." "That's cool, but what's that mysterious door over there?" Hannah asked, and they both could see it, and because there curiosity couldn't be helped, they went and opened the door.
"Ah, hello there, and welcome to the Velvet Room!" An unfamiliar voice rang to the two teenagers. "My name is Igor, and I am delighted to make both of your acquaintances." Igor explained (AN: Yes I'm leaving the Velvet Room in this, and no, not for means of extended the chapter, story will likely happen in here, but that's to happen later, back to the story.) "These people here are Theodore and Elizabeth, other residents of the Velvet Room." Pleased to meet you." Elizabeth and Theodore said together. "Likewise." The teens replied. "Only those who have been bound by a contract are allowed to enter the room." Igor continued his explanation. "May I ask exactly where we are? It looks like..." Logan pondered. "Indeed, we have changed up the appearance of the room every periodically, we are currently in a darkened bus." Theo explained. "That's cool." Hannah said. "But what exactly is this "contract" we're "bound" to?" She asks. "You are able to command the Wild Card. An ability capable of allowing you two to summon multiple Personas. Yours, Logan, being Izanagi, and yours, Hannah, being Orpheus." Elizabeth explains. "As for why two of us are here, Elizabeth will be here when Logan is here, whereas I'll be here whenever Hannah is around." Theo explained. "Cool." The teens asked. "Now, you may go, but we will see you again soon." Igor said."
Hannah and Logan decided to walk back to school, talking about what happened. "So we can both summon Personas, it seems." Hannah chatted. "Yeah. But I truthfully doubt just the two of us are Persona users." Logan explained. "Such as the rest of the regular team?" Hannah asked. "I wouldn't be surprised." Logan continued.. "In all honestly, it looks fun to be able to summon Personas, but it's a serious ordeal, just like our other adventures." Hannah said. "Who said you were allowed to break the 4th wall?" Logan complained and they both laughed together. "What, your supposed to be the only jokester around here?" Hannah asked. "Hey, lay off." He playfully said. "Besides, we can't let anything get too personal around here." He said. Hannah retorted with the least impressed expression on her face. "Fine, I won't make bad puns, If Teddie were here, it would get too unbearable." Logan said. "Stop with the puns dangit!" Hannah told him and laughed. "Alright, let's split, we can chat more about it tomorrow." Logan told her. "Okay, seeya!" She said.
First chapter complete! I'm really ready to get this started, and I have the rest of the summer to work away at this and ATOTW. So I hope you enjoy both, if your a fan of both, or this one if your just a fan of Persona. This is my first time venturing away from the realm of Pokémon fanfics, and I'm hoping this is a good start! See you back for chapter 2!
