Wow uh... Been a bit... I blame persona Q2.. For being a good game.. Anyway.. This is a bit more of filler.. Seeing as how, Next will PROBABLY be the intro for the characters of the original, WHICH YOU SHOULD READ. Anyway... Yeah.. Let's get this started!
Most people would be shocked and possibly scared in my position.. This was the first thought I had at 7:00 am, The time I usually wake up at when I don't have school... And then I realized, I was happy this way.. Or to be specific, I was happy I wasn't human anymore.. this feeling of fighting for your life, with actual objectives that mattered.. Rather than go through the mostions at school... Was amazing! It felt like I broke a reel of a never ending frame loop in a film... Anyway.. I put on my usual clothes, Washing my Annaki evolution tee, Which is my favorite shirt.. And I head out to breakfast in the lounge...
In the lounge, It seemed pretty nice, A place to let people eat in peace.. That's always great. Anyway.. Out of the assortment of pastries, I get a crossaint and two hard boiled eggs, along with some Coffee... Because I'm always dead in the morning. (Yes I actually like coffee) As I was finishing my pastry and partaking in the second egg... Aiden sits next to me, With simply some scrambled eggs. "You at least could've woken me up.." He said with a tone of annoyance, "Well.. Hey.. At least you slept well.. You were knocked out." I replied with a smirk. As he dug into his plate, I finished mine and put it in the disposal tray. Walking back over, I tell him "When your done, Meet me in the lobby, We should find some sorta fighting gym or something, We need to know the full extent of our stands." He gives a nod and keeps eating.. As I head over to our room and grab what I'll need.. Something rather familiar to me that I found on the road.. I picked it up and looked at it.. Remembering what happened..
"Hey.. there's a corpse here!" I say with some suprise.. The corpse has a worn out black Japanese school uniform, the skirt implied it was for a girl, There was a big faded red bow on the chest along with some rusty red hipster headphones and some sorta gun.. labeled SEES. I recognized it instantly.. Aiden was ahead, Waiting on me, I pocketed the gun and kept going, But not before burying the remains and creating a small tombstone.. "Rest in peace, Minako arisato".
Ending stupid memory of one of personas best girls.. I put the Gun.. Or as it actually is.. Evoker in a holster I found near the corpse. Knowing it's true potential.. It'll come in handy. As I head to the lobby.. Knowing full well he's done by now, Aiden is waiting for me, I nod to him, and we get going.
People think that if you act weird.. Yoy end up being stared at. In our case, We weren't doing anything bizarre.. We just got a bunch of looks from our own Looks, And it's probably understandable seeing as how the populationis a bunch of furries. Anyway, Seeing as how we had to find some sorta fight club.. There was conveniently an entire street of them, Each one was organized by skill, and all I could think of was Pokemon, Each gets harder as you progress. Walking forward a beginner one.. A few uncomfortably buff men walked over and gave us a look, one that said "Your dead", and for whatever reason.. Aiden spoke up "Uhm.. Hi? Is there something you need?" despite the silence that followed.. One, Which resembled a Dog of some sort, Bent down to our level and gave us a menacing glare, "Most newbies can't even get passed us, We are the cutoff for tier 3", Without hesitation all I could say was "So.. 4 is the lowest..?" and all I got was a grunt as a response. GREAT, Now I'm stuck in shonen anime street and even though we want to just.. Train by fighting, It's now a competition, Anyway, They wall off, One saying "Good luck". Aiden simply looked at me and said "Are we gonna have to be buff..? Because that was uncomfortable.." I respond in an annoyed tone: "We have our stands.. So no. And yes, That was uncomfortable.." Giving me a nod in agreement, We walk into the club called "Beginners only" (No suprise, The entire street was Beginners/Average/Masters Only) Where we were greeted by an over enthusiastic Bird "We dont Get many people like you.. Anyway, What can I do?" We reply at the same time but in different tones "Can we sign up for a tournament..?" And a grin about the size of a hummingbirds real wingspan appeared on her.. Mouth? Beak? I'll go with mouth. "Sure! We have one today! In fact it starts in half an hour! I'll get you two registered.. Oh, Right you don't have a fight name.. Do you?" As we shake our heads, She goes to Aiden first "Well, Tell me what you'd like to be called in the arena" And he replies with the most cringe worthy thing ever.. "Golden experience" (Which is a stand in Jojo) And while I get the reference.. I still facepalm in an understandable way, She types in his name, Gets his Info, And then moves to me.. "So, What about you?" And while I rack my brain.. I come up with something.. decent? "Paradigm shift" And while I'm wondering why I didn't go with Something else, I'm sorta happy with that, I tend to change up patterns so it's more sparatic anyway.. As we get registered, We have 10 minutes left, She directs us to the Prep room after giving us our IDs and we head over, And Holy carp, So many Buff people.. I'm not talking Buff.. I'm talking Gregor Clegane, And we were traumatized, However, They gave us looks of pity, Thinking we were easy.. Ohhh how wrong they were. Aiden and I decided what to use our stands for, I said I would pull a chocolate Disco for defense, a ball breaker for long range, and Star platinum for short range. He was just gonna go King crimson.. As I felt the evoker in the holster around my waist, I told him, I'd use it. "WAIT, What? How?!" After giving him a brief explanation of persona 3, He nodded and said "Ooooohhh.. Ok.." Afterwards, It was me up first, And I hadn't changed at all, I just had my Evoker in my hand and my stand ready. My first opponent was.. Dear god.. A Wolf, And he looked pretty powerful too.. As the bird lady who was apparently the announcer came up on an elevated platform and held a microphone, I was wondering what would happen if I used it so openly.. It doesn't matter though.. As her voice ring through the stadium I got in stance and waited. "WEELLcome ladies and Gents to the 24th annual Fight tourney! We have a lot of returning faces and a few new ones! Now let's get on with the show!" as she pointed to the wolf "In one corner, We have Doomclaw the wolf!" the crowd gives a loud cheer, She points at me."And in another corner, A newbie, Paradigm shift" All I hear is no one except Aiden clapping in the crowd. "Readyyy... Go!" And Doom lunged for me instantly, I was able to avoid it and I as I retreated to another point in the arena, I pointed the Evoker at my head, The crowd gave a gasp. As I pulled the trigger, I could hear myself say "Persona!" And power surged through me! "I am thou! And Thou art I! From the Sea of thy soul I come, I am Orpheus! Master of the strings!" A humanoid looking Robot with a harp on its back appeared with a blue aura, And Hit Doom over the head with its harp, Causing him to knockout. "It worked.. Yes!" And the crowd went Wild!
After that... Amazing performance, I meet up with Aiden in the Prep area... And black out instantly...
In what I assume is my own mind... I see two options in front of me, Persona... and Stand... I guess I have to choose between the two. However, I decided to try to do something crazy.. I press both at the same time, And Awaken with Aiden standing over me. "Hey, What's Up." As I reply with.. "So.. You won I assume?" He grins "Yeah.. Wasn't too hard. You were out like a light, I used Star platinum to carry you back." No wonder I felt as though I was in a bed... Anyway, I do explain to him what happened.. and he's pretty chill about it, A few days go by.. And we almost forget about the others..
Until one morning, A group of a few teenagers and a bunch of kids walks into the hotel... with a Wolf, Lizard, Deer and what I assume to be the 17 year old.. He looks a bit like a dog... Better see how this goes..
Ok WELL GOD. This was a bit rushed as well.. And a lot of stuff left out, Yes Aqua has the choice of a stand or persona, No Aiden or the others won't get a Persona. The others won't get Stands, I'm not sure where to go past the last chapter of the original.. But I hope I can get somewhere, Also.. It took me a while to write this which is why it took so long.. So sorry..
Anyway, Have a good day!
