Two days earlier, Port Island Club Escapade

"CONGRATULATIONS, SOJI AND NAOTO!" the group yelled out as soon as the soon-to-be married couple stepped into the club. Soji had grinned whole heartedly to his friends while Naoto pulled her hat further down her head to cover her reddened face.

"Ahh, look, she's shy!" Yukiko replied as she hugged her friend and fellow persona user. Everyone was happy except for one person. She shook her head as she put on her fake smile and embraced the two.

What in the hell does Senpai see in her, Rise wondered to herself before letting them go and going back to their booth, unbeknownst to them, another group of persona users were not too far away in the club.

"It's not everyday that I actually finish high school with flying colors," Junpei Iori replied sheepishly as Mitsuru gave him a light peck on her boyfriends cheek.

"Tell me about it, Stupei," Yukari said with a smirk on her face.

"Stop calling me that!" Fuuka only shook her head at the two bickering at each other.

I swear they should've been together, she thought to herself as she took another swig of her soda. They argue often enough. Her attention soon went to her boxing senpai and sighed as Akihiko winked at her. Even Aigis was enjoying herself…if she wasn't annoying the living crap out of a certain young man named Ken who was petting Koromaru under the table. And that only left…

…him. However, when she looked to her right she saw familiar blue hair at the entrance way of the club smiling at her.

Present day, underground coliseum.

The wheels had just stopped spinning when it landed on the faces that were to be the first battle of the persona tournament. And with mock surprise on his face, he announced, "Chie Satonaka of the investigation squad vs. Koromaru of S.E.E.S." Then underneath Elizabeths breath she muttered, "This ought to be interesting."

"Good luck, Senpai," Naoto replied as she looked at the dog trotting his way to the field. "Do not underestimate your opponent no matter what he looks like."

"Uh…sure…" Chie said while trying to hold in her laughter…which wasn't easy when Yukiko and the others asides Naoto and Soji were laughing as well.

"That girl has no idea on what she's getting herself into," Minato replied before holding on to Yukari's hand.

"Yeah…tell me about it," Junpei replied forcibly. Minato then turned his head towards Junpei who was snickering to himself. Before he could ask, Mitsuru beat him to it.

"…what in gods name did you do this time?" she asked. Junpei smiled at his girlfriend before he could fully explain.

"Umm…remember the Odd Morsels that Minato kept finding?" The group nodded their heads. "And that you warned me to never…ever…ever…EVER feed it to Koro-chan due to…uh…unknown side effects?" A morbid look fell over the heiress of the Kirijo corps before a look of curiosity graced her face.

"Well…this should be entertaining," she stated before sitting down on Junpei's lap. Ken, on the other hand, was a little concerned about the dog…and the life of Koromaru's unsuspecting victim but a hand was placed on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw that it was Akihiko who had stopped him from warning Chie. Shaking his head, he looked down at Ken and mouthed off let's not go there. "Aki?"

"Yes?"

"Ever wonder what the effect would be on him this time?" As Chie came closer to the dog, it was then that she bursted out laughing which caused the dog to cock his head at her.

"Awww, wook at the pwetty little dog," she replied as she kicked Koro-chan lightly. She then looked up at the stands and screamed, "Is this what you have for me? What is he gonna do…give me rabies or the fleas?" She then bent down and started roughing up his fur.

"Bad move," S.E.E.S. said at the same time. The dog had started barking at Chie who only slapped its jaws. She then turned to her friends and grinned.

"Chie," Soji replied. "What did my fiancée tell you about underestimating your foe?" Rise shuddered as she felt a familiar power in the dog. Upon seeing her reaction, Naoto walked closely to Rise and smiled slightly.

"Tell me something reassuring," Rise squeeked out as soon as Naoto was in earshot. "Does Chie have a chance against him?" Naoto only looked at her out the corner of her eyes to regard the singer/actor.

"I'd say yes she does," she began. Just then, Koromaru howled…and then there was the unmistakable sounds of glass shattering. Chie turned around just in time to see Cerberus, the three head dog, towering over her. "…but then I'd be lying…and you know I never lie."

"Well, well…looks like you pissed our dog off," Yukari replied. She then had an evil grin on her face as she yelled, "Sick 'em, Koro-chan!" And at his masters' command, Koromaru and his persona took a step towards Chie as she took a step back…not realizing that she stepped right into a Mudoon spell until it was too late. Looking down and then up at her adversary, Chie could only sit there as fire was forming at the mouths of his persona.

…thou art a bitch. She yelped when she heard Cerberus in her mind but that was the least of her concerns as the fireballs in its mouth grew larger. Is thou out thy fucking mind!? Cerberus then stared the fight off right as he let loose a barrage of fire from his mouth, giving chase to the poor girl. Asides from the cheers from the audience, the only thing that was heard was Koromaru's barking…and the sound of Chie's ear piercing scream.

To be continued,
