Narika stared up at the building. This is it... She opened the door slightly. Two young girls were sitting on the couch in the lounge. One, who had dark brown hair and crimson eyes, looked up. "Someone's here, Yukari-chan."
A girl with brown eyes and light brown hair got up. "Are you the new dormmate?" Narika nodded. "Yes."
The girl smiled. "I'm Yukari Takeba. This is Minako Arisato." Minako smiled. "Hi!" Narika grinned. "I'm Narika Itokime. It's nice to meet you both." Yukari chuckled. "You don't have to act so formal to us-we're in the same grade as you." "Like nii-san! Oh, where is he..." Minako looked around. "NII-SAAAAAN?"
"I'm here, jeez, don't blast my ears out."
A blue haired boy walked through the door, holding his head. "And for the love of god, why are you up so late, Nee-chan?" Minako pouted. "And you don't notice the new person? Narika-san, this is Minato, my brother." Minato looked at Narika and simply nodded. Yukari sighed. "He's not much of a talker."
A girl with very short turquoise hair walked out of the room Minato had come from. "Is she new?" The girl bowed her head. "I'm Fuuka Yamagishi."
"So, she's here."
A red haired woman walked down the stairs. A boy with VERY short white hair followed her. The woman smiled. "I'm Mitsuru Kirijo. This is Akihiko Sanada." Akihiko smiled. "Yo...hey Junpei! Get down here."
A boy with a cap on came down. "Hey. I'm Junpei Iori. So, you're the new girl." Narika smiled and responded "It's nice to meet you all."
A bit later...
Narika had been shown to her room, and was laying on the bed. A small voice called out. "C-can I come out now?" She smiled. "You still follow me...sure."
A young boy then came out. He was small, and wore a prison-like outfit. "I know those two. The Arisato siblings." "I see...hey Pharos...does the name Izanami mean anything to you?" Pharos shook his head. "No. I've heard the name a few times before, but I'm not sure what it's about." "Hmm..." Pharos looked at her. "Is something the matter?" Narika smiled. "No. Just thinking." Pharos smiled. "Ok. I have to go now. Bye." He then vanished.
Narika turned off the light and got under the covers. Nice kid... She soon fell asleep.
At the same time, around her, it struck midnight.
The area turned green. No electronics worked. The moon was yellow green and larger than normal.
Mitsuru and Akihiko were in a lab with Minato.
"She's still normal...and they haven't prayed on her yet...do you two think she...?"
Akihiko nodded. "Perhaps." Minato sighed. "This brings back memories." "Hah...yeah. When you and Minako-san came."
Mitsuru smiled. "Anyway, this might mean she has the potential if she can survive in the Dark Hour. Let's keep an eye on her for now." "Right." "Mm-hmm."
The next day...
It was weird for the principal to call Minato, Mitsuru, and Yukari to the office as soon as they got to school.
"See, I want you to show our new students around the school."
Three people walked in. One boy had waist length blond hair, and the uniform, though his jacket was white with black spots. One had the uniform with an open jacket, a brown vest with pockets, and a brown cowboy hat. The girl had long brown hair, a red bandana on her head, an orange short sleeved jacket, and the female uniform.
"Skye, Vaughn, Chelsea? These three will show you around."
The three nodded as the principal left. Chelsea smiled. "Hi everyone! I'm Chelsea. This is Vaughn, and that's Skye." Vaughn frowned. "We could have introduced ourselves on our own." Chelsea pouted. Skye chuckled. "They're always like this. It's nice to meet you guys." After introductions, they went for the tour.
Later...
It was the end of the day, and the tour. While they were walking, a few female voices came from up ahead. Minako and Narika were chatting.
When Narika and Skye noticed each other, they froze. A few minutes passed before Narika ran forward and hugged Skye. "Where have you been?" "Sorry, I've been busy around."
Chelsea looked at them curiously. "You know her, Skye?" Skye smiled as Narika let go. "This is Narika. She's an old friend of mine." Vaughn snickered. "I can see that."
Mitsuru smiled. "Well, you guys will be happy. These three are moving into the dorm as well." Skye and Narika smiled at each other.
That night...
When the Dark Hour hit, the three were in the lab again. Mitsuru watched as Fuuka went through the cameras on the screen. "No way...the other three are normal too, just like Narika-san!"
Akihiko stared. "Lots of persona users appearing lately." Minato nodded. "Well, we won't force them in if they don't want to, but they seem to be like I was-no side affects."
A beeping alarm then sounded from the computer. Fuuka's eyes widened. "But it's not even a full moon!" She spun around in the chair. "There's a shadow outside of Tartarus. Even my persona can sense it! And it's coming this way!"
Everyone got up. Mitsuru shouted the commands. "I'll call the chairman and let him know. Akihiko, defend the dorm as much as possible. Arisato, wake up the others. Yamagishi, go get Itokime and the other three." Everyone nodded before going.
Narika heard a pounding at her door. It was Fuuka. "Hurry! Get up!"
Narika opened the door. The other three were there too. Fuuka looked paniced. "No time to explain, we gotta move!" Narika obeyed and went with them.
Minutes later...
They had reached the roof. Vaughn sighed. "So what was so important that you had to get us up so late for." Fuuka frowned. "We should be safe here."
A voice then came from a radio phone on Fuuka's belt. It was Mitsuru's voice. "Yamagishi, be careful. There's more than one of them!"
Soon, a black substance with hands started climbing up. Multiple. Everyone stepped back. Vaughn went in a defensive stance in front of Chelsea, who hid behind him. Skye was obviously panicing inside. Narika just watched.
Multiple creatures climbed onto the roof. Some had swords. Chelsea shrunk back behind Vaughn, who completely made himself a shield in front of her. Skye moved back a bit. Narika stayed where she was.
Minako rushed out the door. "Oh no...guys, stay back!" She got out her evoker. Everyone just watched. I won't be like before...!
One of the creatures knocked into her and made her slam against the wall before she could shoot. Everyone but Narika and Fuuka ran. Narika picked up the evoker.
Izanami...help me!
She held the evoker up to her head...and shot.
A sound of breaking glass echoed, making Skye look back. What he saw amazed him.
Above Narika was a young woman with long golden hair, small angel wings instead of ears, three sets of angel wings on her back, bandages for a shirt, a white flowing silk skirt, golden getas, and a golden spear.
Vaughn and Chelsea stared as well. Fuuka and Minako were amazed.
Back at the command room, everyone else was watching from the screen. Mitsuru gaped at the scene. "I knew it...but this is amazing! Even with my small scanning skills, I can still sense a lot of power from her persona!" Minato frowned. "You aren't the only one. I think everyone can." "Yeah. That one's power is huge!"
A man with light brown hair that was a bit below his shoulders, glasses, and a greyish-yellow suit was there as well. He was shocked. This is amazing...
Back at the roof, the woman who had appeared was slashing and destroying all the creatures. Soon, they were all gone, and the woman vanished. Narika fell to her knees.
Skye ran over and helped her up. "You ok?" "Y-Yeah...just tired..."
Vaughn looked at Fuuka. "There's something you ain't telling us." Chelsea nodded shakily. Fuuka frowned. "I guess we should tell you...tomorrow though, we need to rest." Skye looked back and nodded. "She has a point."
Vaughn sighed. "Ok."
