Time To Make History

by UknownHero

"The wheels of fate are turning every day, Minato-kun. You are no longer the only Fool, but you and your friends are somewhere... very different. You don't seem worried about this, aren't you? But tell me, Minato-kun, do you think you will just reach out for the truth? Or, will you make history?" P3 in P4! Based on Chronologically Displaced by The Heartless Wanderer!

4. Chapter 4: Unleash My Other Self

Hey! UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of Time To Make History! Oh, Merry Christmas everyone and after so much difficulty this year, I'm definitely gonna finish off React Watch Believe Yikes next year, which is available on Archive of Our Own if you aren't aware or curious about what it is. Anyway, I wanna thank everyone for all the support throughout the year, special thanks to my first ever Beta Thy Pegasus Box for his/her patience, kindness and generosity and most of all thank my family and friends (which will remain unknown to you) for all the love and care they give. Oh Hell, 2016 wasn't the most… okay, let's be honest, it was kinda a bad year considering a lot of crap went down but let's just hope 2017 will bring us good fortune. I won't be updating until January so in the meantime, hang out with your loved ones. By the way, I checked the wiki and realized that Minato doesn't have Social Links with the guys so there's gonna be a change in plans. Anyway, onto the reviews. To seekerskull8692 (Really specific number by the way): SEES will have a… unique way of summoning their Personas. But no, Minato will only start off with Orpheus just to make things fair. Thanatos will be an available Persona, but won't be until much later in the story. The rest of your questions will be answered within the story. To Das master 48: No, they won't. Okay, that's it! Time for the investigation to begin!

Chapter 4: Unleash My Other Self (Alt: The Shadow of the Wannabe Heroes)

(4:15, Early Morning)

That night, Minato felt like he was floating. It was soothing, yet chilling at the same time. Like he could rest and relax, but feeling like he should keep his guard up just in case. He remembered this feeling. It was from before the whole mess with Tartarus and Inaba. The Blue-Haired Fool slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly. It was obviously the Velvet Room, but it wasn't the Velvet Room he remembered. Strangely enough, it was a bus, but the interior was more akin to a limousine than public transport. He was currently sitting on a seat that curved to his right, noting the cushioning of the seat, soft and slightly squishy, causing him to feel more relaxed. To his left was a full-fledged bar, stocked to the brim with fancy wine and champagne, a wide-screen plasma TV and a bowl of expensive-looking peanuts and pretzels out for the taking. It was manned by a vaguely familiar woman dressed as a blue bartender holding onto what seemed to be a Persona Compendium. Her eyes, hair and pale skin reminding him of Elizabeth. Though, for some reason seemed surprised by his presence, pausing for a second and staring at him, before she went back to work cleaning the bar. And in front of him was Igor, his creepy wide eyes and smile ever present, sitting in his chair with a table in front of him with a curtain behind him, preventing Minato from identifying the driver. Out the windows, Minato couldn't see a thing due to a heavy amount of fog.

"It has been a long time… Minato Arisato." Igor said.

"Likewise." Minato replied. "Though, not as long for me than you."

"Of course." Igor said with a small chuckle. "Now do not worry, you are fast asleep in the real world. It seems fate has dropped you and your friends at a different place and a different time. For how you arrived, I'm afraid that mystery must be discovered on your own."

"So, you have no idea. Great." Minato groaned before looking around. "What happened to the Velvet Room? And where's Elizabeth?"

"The Velvet Room takes many shapes and forms, often reflecting the journey and destination of the current guest of the Velvet Room. For example, your version of the Velvet Room was a elevator that continuously climbed higher and higher, while another may be prison where the guest is instead a prisoner." Igor explained. "As for Elizabeth… she has departed from the Velvet Room, and it is unlikely she will return."

"Can I ask why?" Minato asked as he leaned forward.

"It is for her to answer." Igor answered. "Now, your contract has been frozen for quite some time, but soon you will be a guest in the Velvet Room once more. Remember, by becoming a guest in the Velvet Room, you must take responsibility for all your actions, and you must face the consequences for all your choices. This coming year will not be any easier than your previous journey, so we will do everything in our power to aid you." Minato nodded at this. He did it once before and so far he was relatively alright. He needed all the help he can get if he wanted to return back to 2009, and he was sure the Velvet Room would be a massive aid in doing so.

"Thank you Igor." Minato said.

"You are welcome." Igor replied with a slight bow. "But for now, time still ticks forward in the real world. We will meet again, and when you do, you will not be alone. But remember, your bonds will play a much more important role than your previous journey." Before Minato could ask, his eyelids started to feel heavy. Before he knew it, he woke up in the Amagi Inn and still in his Yasogami uniform. He had forgotten to take it off before sleeping. He was still somewhat tired from the Midnight Channel and his headache hadn't gotten any better. He saw that the others were getting ready for school now, including Junpei, so with a heavy sigh he dragged himself out of bed and got ready for the day, the distant sounds of sirens being his music for now.

(Samegawa River)

"Are we gonna tell the others about that… TV World?" Yukari asked as she, Minato and Junpei walked to school, their umbrellas up to protect them from the rain. It was still slightly foggy, probably from last night. "It seems like it's connected to the murder of that announcer."

"We could, but we can't actually do anything there." Minato pointed out. "We all got sick from there and I doubt we'll be lucky enough to find an exit or that bear again. For now, we keep it to ourselves until we know more about it. I don't want to endanger the others or give them a chance to be trapped in there. Who knows what could've happened if we stayed there any longer? Plus, we don't know how it's connected so would could possibly be chasing a Red Herring for all we know."

"Still, that place was freaking creepy." Junpei said with a shudder. "By the way, you didn't happen to hear sirens on the way here earlier?"

"There were sirens?" Yukari groaned as she held her forehead. "Sorry, I still don't feel well. This headache is gonna kill me." Minato frowned at that. He had a feeling but quickly ignored it and continued making his way to school, passing-by Yu who was listening to some girls gossiping while more sirens were heard in the distance.

(Afternoon)

"Attention all students and faculty. Please make you way to the gym right now for an assembly. I repeat, please make your way to the gym for an assembly." The loudspeaker announced. It was just after lunch and everybody was ready for their afternoon classes. It came completely out of nowhere and surprised many people within the school, including the members of SEES attending.

"An assembly? What could be the meaning of this?" Mitsuru muttered to herself as she, Akihiko, Minato, Junpei, Fuuka, Aigis, Yukari and Minato made their way there.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." Akihiko replied. They managed to get there before most of the students had arrived, so they had front row seats. Soon, Minato spotted Yu, Chie and Yosuke heading towards them. Chie was checking her phone while walking while Yosuke looked rather sad.

"Hey, did you see Saki Konishi here today?" Minato asked.

"No. No one's seen her in person since Tuesday." Mitsuru answered. Minato frowned at the information.

"Akihiko-senpai's right." Minato whispered to himself. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Hey, Orpheus. Io. Hermes." Chie said from behind the attending SEES members.

"Hey yourself." Junpei replied before looking around. "Hey, where's Yukiko? Wasn't she here today?"

"I've been wondering that too." Chie said as she checked her phone again. "Yukiko said she'd be here after lunch."

"Do you have any idea why they're holding an assembly now?" Fuuka asked.

"My guess is as good as yours." Chie answered before noticing Yosuke's expression. He didn't seem like himself all day. No jokes. No smiles. Just… sad. "Hey, what's wrong, Yosuke?"

"Huh?" Yosuke said, snapping out of his thoughts. "Oh, it's nothing…"

"It doesn't seem like nothing, Yosuke." Yu spoke up, a frown on his face. Before Yu could question about Yosuke's depression, Ms. Sofue walked onto the stage and up to the microphone.

"Everyone, please settle down. The school assembly is about to begin." Ms. Sofue announced. The usually quirky and happy teacher seemed somber, which shocked those who knew her. Hell, she had even got rid of her Egyptian headdress and dowsing rod for the assembly. The gut feeling Minato had only worsened. "First, the Principal has something to say." She announced as the man walked up and took her place.

"I… regret to say that I have a terrible announcement for all of you." The principal said in a sad tone. From the looks of it, it seemed that he didn't want to do it. That they deserved to go through school without having to learn this fact. But he knew that he had to. It was one of the many tragedies of life everyone at some point had to go through. With a heavy heart, and a deep breath, he announced:

"One of our third-year students, Ms. Saki Konishi of Class 3... has passed away."

Suddenly, there was this uproar of whispers and gasps. Minato just looked down in respect for the recently deceased, but clenched his fists all the while.

"Wh-What!?" Fuuka exclaimed.

"A-Another one… dead…" Yukari whispered to herself, hugging herself while she shivered on the spot.

"Damn it." Akihiko growled.

"What the-why…" Mitsuru said, trying to understand why a fellow third year would be killed, or commit suicide so early in the year.

"Holy shit. You don't think…" Junpei said before he winced.

"It would be best if we offer condolences to friends and family of Saki Konishi." Aigis told everyone there.

"Passed away...!?" Chie exclaimed. Minato looked at Yu, who only bowed his head and prayed silently, Chie, who looked rather pale, and Yosuke, who only winced. As if he already knew.

"Ms. Konishi was found deceased early this morning." The principal continued. "The reasons behind her passing are currently under investigation by the police. If they ask you for your cooperation, I urge you, as students of this school, to provide only the facts. Ah, a-all right, please quiet down." As quickly as the whispers started they had stopped. "I have been assured by the faculty that there's been no evidence that bullying was involved in the incident. So mind what you say, not only to the police but to anyone who asks..."

"Found dead? How could this happen?" Chie couldn't help but ask. Minato and Yu noted that Yosuke looked away as soon as Chie asked the question. As the principal's address continued, Yu and Minato took a mental note to talk to Yosuke before the day ended.

They had a feeling he knew something.

(Some time later…)

"Ugh... I'm no stranger to death but… seeing someone alive and well, only to hear that they aren't..." Chie muttered to herself. Yu nodded as they walked down the hall. It was after the assembly that Minato, Chie and Yu knew that something was up with Yosuke, so they decided to track him down. They wanted to at least comfort Yosuke, all of them knowing about his crush on the deceased third-year. Junpei and Yukari overheard their conversation and wanted to offer their condolences as well, so they joined them. The principal announced that school would end early today in respect for Saki Konishi, so they had the time for it.

"She died the same way as the announcer, right? That's so creepy…" A nearby student said. Minato already wanted her and her friend to shove a sock in it. From just their tone and expressions, the death of Saki Konishi seemed to… excite them.

"Well, last time, it was from an antenna, but this time she was hanging from a telephone pole. It's gotta be a serial murder case..." The rumour-loving girl's said.

"Someone said the cause of death was some unknown poison."

"Unknown...? C'mon, this isn't some sci-fi drama. Oh, by the way, did you hear? Someone saw a girl that looked like Saki on that Midnight Channel thingie." This caught Minato, Yu, Yukari and Junpei's attention while Chie silently groaned.

"They said she totally looked like she was in pain. Isn't that scary?"

"Haha, sounds like someone had a nightmare. The media's been broadcasting their interviews with her nonstop, so maybe they just had Saki on the brain."

"And the news will be broadcasting this story too non-stop soon." Junpei grumbled darkly.

"Ugh, these people disgust me." Yukari said as the two girls walked off.

"Sheesh, it's easy to toss around theories if you're not personally involved, so you can't really blame them." Chie said with a frown on her face.

"But that doesn't give them the right to play detective." Yu said. Just as he said that, Yosuke approached the group.

"Hey…" Yosuke said, still looking a bit sad. "Did you check out the Midnight Channel last night?"

"Yosuke! Not you too!" Chie exclaimed.

"I thought you would show some more respect for the dead, Hanamura." Yukari said, glaring the headphone wearing boy.

"Don't you dare even think I don't care about Saki-senpai, you stupid bitch!" Yosuke yelled at Yukari, shocking the entire group. Minato just glared at Yosuke, non-verbally promising Yosuke would visit Saki if he continued.

"Yosuke! Calm down." Yu said. He could understand Yosuke's anger but it didn't give him the right to yell at the innocent and play detective.

"Ugh. Sorry, just… listen to me for a sec." Yosuke said, now calm and yet tired. "Something kept bothering me, so... I watched the Midnight Channel again." He then swallowed the saliva forming in his mouth before continuing. "And… I think the girl on the screen... was Saki-senpai."

"Huh?" Junpei said. "You think Saki Konishi was on the Midnight Channel?"

"There's no mistaking it. Senpai looked like... she was writhing in pain. And then, she disappeared from the screen." Yosuke explained.

"What the…?" Yukari whispered out.

"You heard Senpai's body was found in a similar situation as that announcer's, right?" Yosuke continued. "Well, remember that guy you told us about? How he was all excited that his soulmate was the announcer? Maybe... just maybe, but Ms. Yamano might've been on that Midnight Channel before she died, too."

"So the whole soulmate thing…" Junpei started. "It isn't showing people their soulmate. It… people…"

"People who show up on the Midnight Channel die?" Minato guessed.

"I can't say for sure. But something tells me... I just can't dismiss it as coincidence." Yosuke said.

"Oh my God…" Yukari said quietly, with Chie looking worryingly at Yosuke.

"Plus, remember what that bear thing said? How that place was dangerous, and we should leave before the fog clears?" Yosuke continued.

"Yeah. He also said that people from our side are being thrown into the TV World." Minato pointed out. "It's been bothering me all day now that I think about it."

"And that room with the noose and the posters…" Junpei added in.

"See. There's so much evidence there has to be a connection." Yosuke said. "Couldn't that world in the TV have something to do with Senpai and the announcer's death!?" He then turned to Yu. "Well? What do you think?"

"…You might be right." Yu replied after mulling over the facts. There was too much evidence to say that everything they saw was just a coincidence.

"...So it's not just me, huh?" Yosuke said with a small smile. "If there is a connection, then it's a good bet that the two of them went inside that world. That would explain the posters in that room. Which means... if we look around, we might find a place that has something to do with Senpai, too." Chie gasped as she realized what Yosuke was talking about.

"Yosuke… don't tell me…" Chie said, her voice barely a whisper.

"Yeah. I'm thinking about going in again." Yosuke announced. Minato noted the fire in his eyes. "I want to find out for myself."

"D-Don't do this..." Chie tried to reason with the grief-stricken boy. "You should just let the police handle this and-"

"You think we can rely on the police!? They haven't even made any progress on the announcer's case! Besides, even if we told them about the world inside the TV, there's no way they're gonna believe us!" Yosuke shouted out, interrupting the kung-fu fan. "When I saw her, I tried to reach into the TV to save her, or something. Yet, I couldn't do jackshit! I watched Senpai die in front of me with only glass screen between us. I can't just let it go!" Yosuke then felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked and saw it was Yu. He sighed and pushed the hand off. "If I'm completely off-base with this, that's fine. It's just... I need to know why Senpai had to die like this." Yosuke said, his voice cracking as tears started to well up in his eyes.

"Yosuke…" Everyone else either whispered or thought.

"After what I've seen and what I've put together, there's no way I can ignore it now." Yosuke explained before turning to Minato and Yu. "Sorry... but you're the only people who can help me in getting back in there. I'm gonna go get ready. I'll be waiting for you at Junes." And with that, Yosuke ran off.

"I can kinda understand how he feels..." Chie admitted. "But we can't be sure we'll be able to get out safely again. What should we do?"

"He's gonna get himself killed." Yukari said. "If not worse."

"But he's not gonna let this go any time soon." Junpei pointed out. "I say we help him."

"Wh-Are you crazy!?" Yukari exclaimed. "We don't have-"

"I know! But if it was Chidori I would go to the ends of the Earth to find the bastard who killed her!" Junpei growled. "Sorry, Yuka-tan, but I'm gonna go too. The least I can do is make sure he stays alive."

"Hey, WAIT!" Yukari called out. But it was too late, Junpei had already left the building. "Ugh! Those idiots!" Yukari then quickly turned to Minato. "Minato-kun, we have to stop them." She quickly whispered to her Leader.

"This has 'bad idea' written all over it." Minato muttered as he, Yukari and soon Yu and Chie ran to Junes, hoping to prevent Junpei and Yosuke from killing themselves.

(After School)

(Junes)

Minato, Yu, Yukari and Chie arrived at Electronics Department and quickly found Yosuke and Junpei waiting for them at the large TV, holding onto various objects. Only Yosuke had a rope tied around his waist. "You guys came." Yosuke said with smile.

"Yeah, to stop you idiots!" Yukari exclaimed. "You really shouldn't do this. It's too dangerous. Especially without… you know."

"We have that covered, Io-tan." Junpei said with a wink.

"Plus, we already know. We aren't stupid." Yosuke said. He internally sighed when everyone else gave them a look of doubt. "But we were able to come back once, right? If we go in from the same location, maybe we'll meet that bear again."

"'Maybe' isn't good enough!" Chie shouted out.

"Look, I can't just act like everyone else and pretend this has nothing to do with me." Yosuke argued.

"Yeah, I get that, but this doesn't involve you Jun-I mean, Hermes!" Yukari pointed out.

"I know it doesn't involve me, but that's point of being a hero, Io-tan." Junpei replied with a wink.

"By getting yourselves killed!" Both Chie and Yukari exclaimed in unison.

"It may be true but-" Chie started but realized Yosuke was no longer listening to her.

"Hey, Orpheus. Yu. Could you guys just walk away?" Yosuke asked.

"…I don't have the heart to." Minato admitted with a sigh.

"Me too." Yu said softly before looking at Chie and Yukari. "But I'm worried about Chie and Io. There's no telling what might happen over there."

"Yeah. It'll only be me, you, Orpheus and Hermes." Yosuke explained. "And don't worry, we're not going in without a plan." He then handed the end of the rope to Chie. "Chie, I'm leaving you in charge of this."

"Um, are you sure that's a good idea?" Minato asked, noting that it was just normal rope and that it was… rather short.

"Don't worry about it." Yosuke said off-handedly. "We'll just go in with this tied to me, and Chie here will hold onto this and wait here. Once we find out everything we need to know and we can't find the bear, I'll just tug on this and we'll be out."

"Wh-What? Then, this is a lifeline? C'mon, wait a sec..." Chie stuttered out, the weight of four lives on her shoulders now.

"But… what if the rope's too short?" Yukari pointed out. "Because if you run out of rope before you reach the bottom…"

"Oh! By the way, this is just in case." Junpei said as he and Yosuke kindly gave the Fools their weapons and some Medicine.

"Alright…" Yu said as he grabbed the Golf Club. It was a bit heavier than he anticipated but he could do some serious damage with it. "Thanks Yo-"

"It's a Stick." Minato deadpanned as he stared at Junpei, getting the attention of the others. "We could possibly be going into a combat situation… and you gave me a Stick. To defend myself. A Stick."

"W-Well it was all that I could afford after buying Io-tan's weapon." Junpei tried to explain himself.

"Wait, you got me something?" Yukari had to ask. Junpei happily handed her the weapon he bought from Junes.

It was a toy pink Phoenix Featherman R bow that was barely the size of her forearm with suction cup arrows.

"…This is why we let Leader buy all the weapons." Yukari deadpanned at Junpei, both she and Minato noting the Metal Baseball Bat on his back.

"…Where did you get this?" Yu asked Yosuke.

"Stole it from the Bargain Bin." Yosuke answered as they watched Yukari and Minato test their weapons out on Junpei. He then pulled out the wrenches he had hidden underneath his uniform. "Got these from home."

"Hm. Nice." Yu replied. "Thanks for club."

"Well, it's better than going empty-handed." Yosuke said with a wink before becoming serious. "Alright... let's go. There's no use wasting any more time." The three members of SEES stopped their antics and nodded. Now, Yu, Minato, Yosuke and Junpei were in front of the TV, ready to dive in. "Chie, whatever you do, don't let go of the rope!" Yosuke said before turning towards the TV. "TV World, here we come." Yosuke muttered to himself as the boy stepped into the TV.

"H-Hey! I said wait!" Chie called out, but was too late. Yukari saw that the boys were gone and decided to help Chie keep the rope in the real world. But after a few tugs, the rope snapped, causing both the girls to collapse onto their knees. "See? I knew this wasn't gonna work…" Chie said, feeling like she was going to cry.

"Minato-kun." Yukari whispered out, staring at the TV in front of her. "Please. Be safe."

-Midnight Channel-

WHAM! WHAM!

"Ow…" Yosuke and Junpei groaned in pain after landing flat on their faces.

Thud! Thud!

"Getting easier and easier with every visit." Minato noted after both he and Yu landing perfectly in a three-point pose. Both boys then noticed that Yosuke's lifeline had snapped. "Oh no…"

"…Well, considering the alternative, we should be glad he's still in one piece." Yu pointed out.

"Ugh… how do you guys do that?" Junpei groaned as they peeled themselves off the floor. "Well, at least we're here."

"And we still can't see a damn thing. Great." Yosuke added in but smirked as he noticed their surroundings. "But look, this is the same place as last time! So they are connected from place to place!"

"Good to know." Junpei moaned in pain. "Maybe we can find a TV that'll let us land on some pillows or something."

"Maybe even dakimakura!" Yosuke said with hope in his voice.

"Yeah…" They both said as they stared dreamily off into the distance with drool running out their mouths.

"…I-I'm not sure how to react." Yu admitted.

"You get used to it." Minato told the grey-haired boy, until a voice called from behind them.

"Y-You guys..." the bear said as he emerged from the fog. "Why'd you come back?" He then frowned (somehow, but then again his mouth did move when he talked) as he figured something out. "I get it! You're the ones behind this!"

"Hey, it's that monkey from yesterday!" Junpei said before realizing something himself. "Wait, what the hell did he just say?"

"I'M A BEAR!" The bear yelled at Junpei. "And lately, I can tell someone's been throwing people in here. It's making this world more and more messed up. This is the second time you guys came here. And I don't think anyone forced you in. That means you're the most suspicious!" He then went into (what "could" be passed off as) a battle stance. "You guys must be the ones throwing the people in here, raaaawr!"

"Hell no!" Junpei shouted out.

"Don't label us like that." Yu deadpanned.

"Shut up…" Minato said in the same tone.

"All of the above!" Yosuke called out. "I mean, what're you talking about!? 'Throwing people in'!? If someone was thrown in here and they couldn't get out, they might die! Who would do such a—" Yosuke suddenly had a pause in thought. "Wait a sec. All this talk about someone throwing people in here... does he mean Senpai and the announcer? Did that "someone" throw those two in here?" He then turned to the others. "H-Hey... what do you think?" The others just stared at him silently. "…What?"

"…Dude, what do you think?" Minato said, breaking the silence. "It's highly likely they were thrown in here. What do you think we're here in the first place? It's already been established that the announcer and Konishi were thrown in here by someone. Seriously, are you even paying attention to your own explanations? Though, how the hell they figured out there was a whole world inside the TV…"

"Huh? I-Um… well…" Yosuke muttered as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "I thought… maybe there was the off chance they just… fell in. They were accidents. But now, I know for sure it was murder."

"Yeah, because so many people trip and fall face-first into the TV by complete accident." Yu said sarcastically. Meanwhile, a certain delinquent sneezed and (somehow) accidentally punched someone in the face, knocking them out cold. He would be arrested later that day.

"Hey, we can't just eliminate those types of things happening no matter how improbable it is." Yosuke said. "No stone unturned!"

"I think you meant 'Impossible'." Junpei pointed out.

"L-Look, let's just assume the bear is telling the truth." Yosuke said.

"That's because he probably is. He's just probably dumb. Kinda like you right now." Minato interrupted.

"I'm right here! What are you guys talking about!?" The bear called out.

"F-Fine. Sheesh. You make one mistake…" Yosuke muttered before shaking his head. "Anyway, whoever's been throwing people in here has been throwing them in with the intent to kill. That's obvious to all of us now."

"Are you sure?" Yu asked jokingly.

"I am sure, dammit! Seriously, enough with that!" Yosuke called out before calming down. "Anyway the million yen question is, however, why the announcer? Why Saki-senpai…"

"Seriously! What're you guys mumbling about?" The bear shouted in frustration. "Why'd you come here, anyways!? It's a one-way door! You can't get out once you're in! Remember? How I had to let you guys out?"

"Yeah, whatever." Yosuke said off-handedly before smirking at the bear. "We don't need your help this time! See, this time we have a lifeli—" Yosuke then held up the snapped rope, which he and Junpei proceeded to stare at for several seconds.

"…By the way, the rope snapped." Yu spoke up. "At least you're in one piece."

"And you tell us now!?" Junpei exclaimed.

"I knew that rope was too short…" Minato muttered. Yosuke growled in frustration as he untied the rope from his waist and threw it into the fog.

"H-Hey! You better let us out once we're done investigating here!" Yosuke told the bear.

"Grrrrr! I'm the one who wants to investigate!" The bear retorted with a cute, angry expression on his face. "I've lived here for a long time. But it's never been noisy like this till now. Do you have proof!? Prove to me you're not throwing people in here!"

"Proof!?" Junpei exclaimed in surprise.

"It doesn't work that way..." Yu pointed out.

"Shut up." Minato groaned.

"All of the above!" Yosuke called out. "…Again."

"See! So it is you guys!" The mysterious bear said accusingly.

"For the last time, it's not us, so we've got nothing to prove to you!" Yosuke said, growing more and more frustrated. "Hey, you better answer our questions. This isn't like last time, when we came here by accident. We're dead serious!" Seeing that they were getting nowhere, Minato decided to step up.

"Look. People have died in our world and it's possible that the culprit won't stop at just two bodies." Minato explained calmly. "Every time the fog appears, a dead body shows up with it. We're only here to gather clues, so if you have any information, about this world or anyone else here, anything will do. Please, aid us in our investigation."

"A dead body? Whenever the fog appears?" The bear muttered to himself, going over the two facts given to it. "I know that if it's foggy on your side, the fog lifts here. It's really dangerous when the fog lifts. That's when the Shadows get violent." Suddenly, it clicked to him. "Aaaah... I get it..."

"WHOA WHOA WHOA! HOLD UP!" Junpei shouted out, waving his arms around. "Did you just say… did you just say there are Shadows here!? WHAT!?"

"Well, that's just perfect…" Minato groaned. He could feel his headache worsening.

"If you get it, then explain it to us, dammit!" Yosuke yelled out. "If it's foggy on our side, it isn't in here? Shadows get violent? Wait a minute…" Yosuke said as he turned to Junpei and Minato. "You… know about these Shadows things?" Minato and Junpei just looked at each other.

"Look, it's a very long story but right now we need to leave. Now." Minato ordered.

"Thank you!" The bear cheered out.

"…What?" Yosuke asked in surprised. "What do you mean we need to leave!?"

"Look, Yosuke. I wouldn't argue with him. If we encounter Shadows, we can't grantee you'll make it out alive." Junpei explained. "We're way over our heads, especially without any real way to defend ourselves against them."

"What the-We have weapons! We have supplies! And I can hold my own in a fight! And I'm sure Narukami can hold his own too." Yosuke called out as he pulled out his wrenches. "I need to know why Senpai died! We can't just leave now!"

"You don't understand. Shadows are a serious threat and without our… guns we can't do anything about them." Minato tried to reason with Yosuke. "Once we do, we'll investigate Saki's death but right now we need to leave."

"I'm not leaving." Yosuke said firmly. "I just need to know. And no one's gonna stop me."

"Yeah." Yu said, stepping forward taking out his Golf Club. "We can't just run away now. Not until Yosuke gets his closure. Who knows, we might even figure out who the culprit is and prevent more whoever this person is from killing anyone else."

"Thanks Yu." Yosuke said in surprise.

"Anything I can do to help." Yu replied. Minato knew it would be dangerous and/or stupid to continue on, especially with all the risks involved now, including the possibility of Apathy Syndrome making a comeback, but he knew if he just dragged them out, they'll just jump back into the TV when they weren't looking.

"…Fine." Minato sighed in defeat. "But as soon as we see a Shadow, we run. Got it?" Yu and Yosuke nodded at those terms.

"Aw man, this is gonna suck, isn't it?" Junpei groaned.

"One way to find out." Minato muttered turning to the bear. "So, when the fog lifts here, it becomes foggy in the Real World and the Shadows get aggressive. Am I getting this right so far?"

"Yes, and that's why I said to hurry back!" The bear told the group. "It's dangerous when that happens! Okay, no more questions. I know you guys did it! You better stop right now!"

"WE'RE NOT THE CULPRITS!" Everyone shouted at the bear.

"We've told you and told you, we're not the ones doing it!" Yosuke yelled out. "I've about had it with you! Why the hell won't you listen to what we're saying!?" Suddenly, the bear started to cower and shiver.

"I-I'm just saying... you might be the culprits. I'm just making sure..." The bear said nervously.

"He still doesn't believe us…" Junpei groaned. "Man, this bear is annoying."

"I think I'm getting a migraine just to talking to him." Yosuke groaned before looking around. "What is this place, anyways? It looks like a TV studio. Is something being filmed here?"

"I don't see any cameras…" Minato pointed out.

"Maybe it's one of those hidden camera shows." Junpei guessed before realizing something. "Wait, does that mean we're being filmed right now?"

"I don't think so. But… someone must've been filming Senpai and the announcer's deaths like some sort of sick snuff film…" Yosuke muttered to himself before looking at the mascot. "Hey bear! Is that weird show being filmed here?" The bear only looked confused at Yosuke's question.

"Weird show? Filmed? What does that mean?" The bear asked.

"You don't know what 'film' means?" Junpei spoke up. "We only need to know if there's anyone else here when the fog lifts to film the Yamano-Konishi Snuff Film." The bear continued to look at the boys confusingly.

"I don't get it..." The bear admitted. "This world has always been like this. No one has ever done that 'filming' thing here."

"'Always been like this'?" Yu repeated. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean only me and Shadows are here!" The bear called out. "I keep telling you that!"

"Ugh... we don't know what these Shadow things are! Or what you are either, for that matter!" Yosuke exclaimed in frustration, having enough of the bear mascot.

"Actually, Shadows arise from human emotions so technically they're just the physical form of all human feelings and emotions." Minato explained. "…I think."

"Okay, now we know Shadows but you're still the mystery here!" Yosuke continued. "You keep telling us to prove our innocence, but you're the most suspicious thing here! Maybe you're the real culprit! And what's with that stupid costume!? I'd say it's time you showed your face!" And with that Yosuke proceeded to rip off the bear's mask off.

Only to see he was hollow inside.

"What the Hell!?" Junpei exclaimed in surprise.

"It's completely empty…" Minato and Yu said in unison.

"J-Just what the Hell are you?" Yosuke asked fearfully as he dropped the head onto the ground. "It's freaking empty inside!"

"…It explains so much though." Yu commented.

"Er, no it doesn't." Junpei deadpanned. The bear searched for his head for a few seconds before popping it back on.

"Me? The culprit? I wouldn't do such a thing! I just live here. I just want to live here peacefully..." The bear said in a sad tone. The group couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "Okay. I'll believe that you guys aren't the culprits. But I want you to find the real guy who did all this. You have to stop him. Promise me, or else... I'm not gonna let you guys outta here."

"WHAT!?" The guys exclaimed.

"Y-You little…!" Yosuke growled as he went to charge at the bear, but was held back by Yu.

"Son of a bitch…" Junpei said in awe at the terms the bear gave. "I'm slowly starting to regret this more and more."

"This can't keep going on! My home here will be a complete mess!" The bear whined, tears welling up in his eyes. "And then... and then I... Waaah...!"

"Why are you crying…?" Minato deadpanned.

"Man, this whole thing is weirding me out…" Yosuke mumbled to himself before turning to the group. "Hey, what should we do?" Everyone else took a minute to think about it.

"Could this be…" Yu muttered to himself before looking at the mascot, recalling something he was told some time ago.

"You're the only ones I can ask. Will you promise me...?" The bear begged.

"Alright, I promise." Yu said.

"It's not like we have much of a choice." Minato muttered to himself. "Okay, we promise we'll find the culprit." The bear looked at the two in awe at their responses.

"Th-Thank you!" The bear said thanked the two.

"Damn bear... practically holding a gun to our heads..." Yosuke grumbled to himself. "But... it's true that we came here to figure things out. So far, we're completely in the dark." He then smirked a little. "Look for the culprit, huh? Bring it on! You got my word, too."

"Eh, I've got nothing better to do anyway." Junpei said with a grin. "Got my word also."

"Might as well introduce ourselves." Yosuke suggested. "I'm Yosuke Hanamura, and these are my buddies Yu Narukami, Orpheus and Hermes. You got a name?"

"Teddie!" The bear answered happily, causing everyone to sweatdrop.

"Your last name doesn't happen to be Kuma, huh?" Minato guessed, causing the bear to gasp.

"How did you know!?" The now named Teddie Kuma gasped. The revelation of Teddie's full name caused everyone to face palm.

"Figures…" Yosuke groaned. "But how are we supposed to find the culprit in the first place?"

"I dunno..." Teddie said. "Oh, but I know where the last person came in."

"The last person? You mean Saki-senpai!?" Yosuke exclaimed in surprise.

"I mean the person who came in and disappeared last time. I dunno the name." Teddie explained. "I'll take you there. You might find clues." He then remembered something and quickly searched the hidden pockets in his suit. "Oh, one thing first. You should put these on." Teddie said as he showed the group four pairs of glasses. Two were dark grey, while the other two were orange. "I always make sure to make spares just in case.

"These look like they were made professionally." Junpei commented as Minato and Yu took the grey sets while he and Yosuke took the orange sets. When they put, suddenly everything became completely clear. Minato took off his glasses in surprise and saw that it was still foggy in the Midnight Channel. He put his glasses back on and it was clear again. At the edges of his vision, he could see the fog. Minato wondered how Teddie made these glasses without fingers.

"Whoa! The difference is like night and day. With these on, it's like the fog doesn't exist." Yosuke said.

"Yeah." Minato said with a nod. His headache also faded a little when he put the glasses on. He then looked at Yu trying on his set of glasses. "They suit you."

"Thanks." Yu replied before turning to Teddie. "And thank you Teddie for the glasses."

"They'll help you walk through the fog." Teddie said. "Well, I've been here for a long time. So you can rely on me!" He said quite bravely, before weakly adding. "Uh... but I can only show you where the place is. You guys will have to defend yourselves."

"What happened to relying on you!? Th-There better not be any of those Shadows things! You understand!?" Yosuke said. "I mean, we brought weapons but they're mostly just for show!"

"But it's the best we can get right now. Any weapons are better than no weapons." Junpei said.

"Anyway, we're probably not going to use them much. If we encounter Shadows, we run and leave as soon as possible. We can try again tomorrow if we have to." Minato told everyone.

"You're right about that." Yu admitted as he looked at his Golf Club. "Let's just hope we don't encounter any."

"We just got here! If it's so dangerous, why don't you do something instead of relying on us!?" Yosuke called out. Teddie just shook his head in response.

"Uh uh. No way. I've got no muscles." Teddie said. "Oh! Oh! I'll give you guys moral support from a safe distance! How's that sound?"

"It sounds like you're gonna use us as meat shields…" Junpei mumbled quietly.

"Can Teddie really not fight?" Yu asked, one of his eyebrows raised in curiosity. Minato decided to answer this by walking up to Teddie and lightly poking him in the forehead. He went down in an instant, even landing a few inches away as Teddie helplessly flailed his arms around.

"N-Noooo…." Teddie cried out.

"I think that answers your question." Minato said as they all sweatdropped at the scene.

"Ugh, this is so lame..." Yosuke muttered. "We swore to find the culprit and this is all the backup we get?"

"You know what, we should've just gone back while we still could." Junpei groaned quietly. "Man, I wish Fuuka was here…"

"Oh yeah. Can I ask you something? Who's this Saki-senpai person? Someone you know?" Teddie asked, still flailing on the ground. Yosuke just winced at that.

"That doesn't matter right now." Yosuke sighed. "Anyways, at least now we know Senpai might have been thrown in here. Maybe we can find more information, too. Let's get moving, guys."

"W-Waaaait!" Teddie cried out as the guys started to leave. Yu and Minato quickly ran back to pick Teddie up.

(Saki's Twisted Shopping District)

After walking for what seemed like hours through the fog, they eventually arrived at their destination. "Hey, isn't this the Shopping District?" Junpei spoke up. The guys looked around and saw that it was. The main differences were that it had a sickly yellow hue, and the sky was swirling black and red. It also had this suppressive atmosphere to the place. All in all, they were feeling uncomfortable just being there.

"You think this place is just an alternate version of Inaba?" Minato suggested.

"Can't really say for sure. We've only seen a small area of this place, it seems." Yu replied. "And I doubt we'll be able to explore every inch even if we tried."

"At least we didn't see any of those monsters on the way here…" Yosuke said. "But what's going on here!?"

"Some weird places have appeared here recently. Things are getting so tangled, I dunno what to do..." Teddie explained. The group looked behind them and noticed that Teddie was standing a good distance away from them.

"Uh... why are you standing so far from us?" Junpei asked.

"You better not be planning to high-tail it if something does show up." Yosuke called out.

"Of course not!" Teddie said defensively before looking sheepish. "I mean. Uh. I can't stand too close, you know. I'd get in your way…"

"That's just another way of saying we're your meat shields." Junpei groaned as Yosuke studied the alternate Shopping District. "Thanks…"

"Hrrrm. Man, they really went all out on this." Yosuke noted. "But out of all the places in town, why'd they replicate this one?"

"How should I know? This is reality for the one who's here." Teddie explained.

"As usual, nothing you say makes any sense." Yosuke sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"The alternate Inaba theory is still up there." Minato spoke up. "But, if I remember right, Saki's parents run a liquor shop here."

"Yeah! Konishi Liquors!" Yosuke called out as he looked towards the shop. "We're not that far from there. If Saki-senpai really was here…" Yosuke then trailed off. They all nodded at each other and quickly made their way to the liquor shop in no time.

"Another red vortex…" Minato commented. Instead of a door leading into the shop, they were met with another red vortex, just like the one they went through that led to the creepy room. Minato expected whatever the vortex led to would be following the tradition.

"Looks like this is it." Junpei muttered.

"Yeah. This is definitely the store Senpai's parents run." Yosuke said. "Does this mean... Senpai disappeared here? What could've happened?"

"There doesn't seem to be any signs of conflict out here…" Yu analysed. Teddie decided to sniff around for threats, only to gasp and step back.

"W-Wait a second. Th-They're here!" Teddie called out.

"What?" Yosuke asked as Minato and Junpei got out their weapons.

"...Shadows. I had a feeling they were going to attack!" Teddie replied. Just as Teddie said that, something started to emerge from the vortex. Two piles of dark slime with masks appeared and fell to the ground. Suddenly, they started to take form into black and pink balls with only big mouths and even bigger tongues. "Huh? Uh…" Yosuke quickly stumbled back at the sight. "What the-!"

"Shadows!" Junpei called out.

"Everyone! Run!" Minato ordered. Yosuke scrambled to get up as everyone started to make a retreat. More Shadows appeared, bursting out of windows and even the steel shutters of closed shops. They were completely surrounded with no way to escape. "Shit…"

"AH! We're surrounded!" Teddied cried out. "I'm too furry to die!"

"Th-This can't be happening…" Yosuke whimpered out. Minato looked around for any opening to escape but found it futile. There was literally no way out and he doubted any of them would survive if they were to run now.

'Surt. Thor. Mara. Orpheus. Anybody!' Minato thought frantically. He knew it was useless without an Evoker but he hoped the Personas he had with him would give him strength. Suddenly, his headache flared up. Much, much worse. 'Not now!'

I am thou…

Minato and Yu suddenly clutched their heads, feeling as if millions of voices were screaming in their heads.

Thou art I...

The Shadows were coming closer and closer. Junpei was really worried for Minato. He couldn't fight them by himself.

The time has come!

'Who are you!?' Yu and Minato yelled mentally at whoever was talking to them. Pain in their heads seemed to have gotten worse.

Open thine eyes, and call forth what is within!

Suddenly, all their pain was gone. Their minds no longer foggy with pain, but clear as day.

Suddenly, they felt something. Something strange, yet familiar. Weak, yet powerful.

Their eyes snapped opened as they felt something their hands.

Yu only stared at the blank card in his palm before smirking as it slowly turned into a Fool Tarot card.

Minato only had a mad grin as he saw a glowing blue handgun in his hand.

They both knew what to do.

"Per." Yu said as the card became engulfed in blue flames as it slowly rose up into the air.

"So." Minato said as he twirled the gun around before putting the barrel against his head. Minato and Yu looked at each other before giving each other their biggest slasher smile.

"Na." They said in unison, before Yu crushed the card with his bare hands and Minato pulled the trigger.

*SHATTER*

"AAAHHH!" They both let out primal screams, feeling power flow through them. The very energy they exerted caused the Shadows to go back as two beings came into existence, deep from their very psyches.

Orpheus, the Father of Songs and Master of Strings and Izanagi, the Father of Japan and He-Who-Invites.

"Holy shit! Did he just shoot himself!?" Yosuke yelled out. "What the Hell is happening!?"

"No way…" Junpei said in awe before smiling. "They're… Yu has… Minato can…" Minato and Yu looked behind their backs and only gave them reassure smiles. Teddie, feeling comforted by their expressions, felt brave and quickly put his nose to work.

"This power…" Yu said as he looked at his Persona before looking at the Shadows. He only smirked at them. "Alright, lend me your strength, Izanagi!"

"You're late." Minato told his Persona before giving it a small smile. "But at least it wasn't like the first time." He said before calmly putting on his headphones and started searching through his music. He smirked when he found the perfect song, something he recently downloaded. "Okay, let's see what you got." He said before pressing play.

(Cue Time To Make History -Dual Mix-)

"Stay calm and listen!" Teddie called out as Yu and Minato took out their weapons. "Some Shadows have weaknesses. If you can pinpoint that weakness and take advantage of it, the battle will be a lot easier!" He then took a quick sniff. "I can tell these guys have a weakness too! Try stuff out and see what works! I'll keep track of what attacks have what effects on enemies!"

"Okay. Orpheus, Agi!" Minato called out. His Persona nodded and quickly went to work, shooting out a small fireball towards the Shadows. While Orpheus went to work, Minato quickly saw a few Shadows charging at them. He quickly swung his Stick at them and knocked them away. As he felt his energy drain as Orpheus attacked, he noticed that his Fire attacks weren't doing anything special. "So they aren't weak to Agi…"

"Let me try." Yu said before pointing at a Shadow. "Izanagi, Zio!" Izanagi quickly summoned a small bolt of lightning upon his enemies. Yu smirked as the attack quickly downed the Shadow. "They're weak to Electricity!"

'And of course I don't have my other Personas…' Minato thought before blasting away another Shadow.

"Nice going!" Junpei cheered on, before quickly ducking under the tongue of a Slipping Halabrie. "Oh no you don't!" Junpei shouted out before swinging his bat with all his might. Even without his Persona, he was able to knock it a fair distance away. "HOME RUN!" Yosuke shook himself out of his trance when he saw he was the only one not contributing in the fight and quickly took out his wrenches.

"Hey, don't count me out!" Yosuke called out before kicking away a Shadow that managed to sneak up on Yu. "I got your back!"

"Thanks!" Yu said before getting Izanagi to Cleave through a few Shadows before blocking an attack from his left and pushing the Shadow away before it was destroyed by Orpheus.

"These guys aren't letting up." Minato grumbled to himself as more Shadow came, before stabbing his Stick into a Shadow and then using it like a make-shift mace before kicking it off and getting Orpheus to destroy it. Unfortunately, it destroyed his only weapon.

"MINATO, HEADS UP!" Junpei called out. Minato didn't ask any questions and quickly caught a Metal Pipe Junpei managed to find, probably collateral from all the Shadows, and quickly used it to fend off another Slipping Halabrie.

"Thanks Junpei!" Minato called back before getting back into the fray. The entire battle had become absolute chaos at this point. Shadows were being killed left and right as Minato and Yu pushed their Power of Persona to the limit. Teddie, unable to fight, was providing as much information as he could while also make sure everyone was in top condition. Minato couldn't help but feel impressed when Teddie even headbutt (or belly slam?) a Shadow away, though he was sure the mascot wasn't going to do that again. Soon, Minato realized they weren't surrounded anymore.

They were surrounding the Shadows.

"Should we show 'em who's boss!?" Yosuke called out, adrenaline rushing through his veins. Minato looked around and saw that everyone, including Teddie, were ready to go all out.

"Go for it!" Minato declared as he charged at the pile of Shadows.

"Good answer!" Yosuke said as he charged in as well.

"Bear pile on the enemy!" Teddie cried out before joining in.

"Get back here, you son of a-!" Junpei shouted out as he ran into the increasingly large ball of violence. Yu smirked, pushed up his glasses, and charged in as well.

"PERSONA!" Yu yelled out before jumping into the fray. After a few seconds, the cloud of violence vanished as everyone jumped away from the pile of Shadows. Minato landed in front of the pile, his back towards them as he flipped his hair over his eye, took off his headphones and put away his new Evoker into his pants.

(End Music)

"That wasn't anything special." Minato said, before all the Shadows exploded into nothingness. He saw the card of Orpheus land in his palm and slowly closed it into a fist. "Good to have you back, Orpheus." He whispered to himself before he collapsed onto his knees, now realizing how tired he was. Junpei saw this and quickly threw his Leader's arm over his shoulder. "Thanks… Junpei…"

"What would you do without me?" Junpei replied cockily, causing Minato to chuckle a little as they all regrouped in front of Konishi Liquors.

"Whoa…" Yosuke said as he and Yu approached the group in a similar manner to Minato and Junpei. "Wh-What was that? Did I hear you guys say 'Persona'!? What was it—I mean, what did you two do!? Hey, you think I can do it too...?"

"Well, if you have the potential." Junpei said.

"Hey, wait a minute..." Yosuke then realized. "You called each other 'Minato' and 'Junpei' back there. Are those your real names? Just who exactly are you guys?" Minato and Junpei sighed in response.

"We'll explain later, but for now…" Minato said before holding out his hand. "Minato Arisato."

"Junpei Iori." Junpei introduced himself as well. Yu and Yosuke quickly shook their hands.

"Man, that was so awesome!" Yosuke said, still pumped from the fight. "I mean, I thought we were going to die but then you two pull this out of nowhere… and why the Hell did you shoot yourself in the head!?"

"Yosuke, calm down. You're troubling Yu-sensei and Minato-sensei!" Teddie scolded the headphones wearing boy.

"It's a pretty valid qu-Wait, what!?" Yosuke exclaimed. "S-Sensei!?"

"Gosh almighty! You're amazing, Yu-sensei! Minato-sensei! I am one impressed bear!" Teddie said happily, completely ignoring Yosuke. "I can't believe you two were hiding such an amazing power! No wonder the Shadows were scared of you guys!" Teddie then gasped. "Are you the one who's able to bring people into this world?"

"I guess you could say that." Yu replied, with Minato nodding in agreement.

"Hah! That's what I thought! This is really something." Teddie said before turning to a thoroughly ticked off Yosuke. "Don't you think so, Yosuke?" Yosuke kindly responded by pushing the bear over, only for him to bounce back on his feet.

"Dude, you call these guys Sensei and then don't show me any respect!?" Yosuke called out. "Me and Junpei were in that fight too. Why can't we be Sensei to you too!?"

"If you think it's bad now, wait until Leader starts summoning others…" Junpei said as quietly as possible. "That's the curse of being the comic relief of the group."

"S-Sorry…" Teddie apologized. Suddenly, it hit Junpei.

"Wait a minute, why did Yu summon his Persona with a card, when Minato used an Evoker…?" Junpei muttered to himself. This actually stumped the group, but decided to leave it for another date.

"W-Well, Teddie's support wasn't bad, though. I gotta give him some credit for that." Yosuke admitted.

"Huh? R-Really...? Heehee." Teddie said, looking rather sheepish.

"At least we stand a chance against the Shadows now." Minato said as he started standing up with his own strength, though he knew he didn't have another full-fledged battle in him. And it looked like Yu didn't as well. While they had enough energy to defend themselves against smaller groups, that was it. They needed to get whatever they needed and get out.

"All right, if we keep this up, and I think we'll be fine from here on out. Now let's get back to the investigation!" Yosuke said confidently as everyone looked at the swirling red and black entrance to Konishi Liquors. "Man… I wonder what could have happened to Senpai here." Before they could even take a step forward, they started hearing voices, causing them all to get their guard up.

"I wish Junes would go under…"
"It's all because of that store…"

"Wh-What the-?" Yosuke said, surprised at Junes being mentioned at all. What did Junes have to do with this? How could it relate to Saki's murder?

"What the-More Shadows?" Junpei guessed as he took out his Baseball Bat.

"No… I don't think so…" Minato replied as he frowned.

"Oh, I heard that Konishi-san's daughter is working there. Oh my... how could she, with her family's business suffering like it is?" The voices continued. "I heard their sales have gone downhill because of Junes." Minato continued to frown. If this really was what people were saying… maybe Saki really wasn't murdered? Either way, whoever badmouthed Saki was probably regretting it right now.

"S-Stop it..." Yosuke begged quietly.

"That poor father...to have his own daughter working for the enemy. What a troublesome child..."

"The principal said bullying wasn't involved, but maybe it didn't happen inside the school…" Junpei guessed with a wince. Yu just frowned at that thought. Though, he doubt Saki would throw herself into the TV if that happened to be it.

"Hey… Hey Ted!" Yosuke called out. "You said that this place is reality for those that are here, right!? So, does that mean this was Senpai's reality when she wandered in here?"

"I only know about what's over here." Teddie informed.

"Fine…" Yosuke said before looking at the entrance. "Whatever's going on here, we'll find out ourselves!" And with that, the boys headed inside the store without a second thought. When they entered, the first thing they noticed was the room looked… Well, like absolute crap.

"This place looks trashed…" Junpei noted.

"Well, at least we found the crime scene." Minato muttered before hearing more voices.

"Dammit, not again…" Yosuke grumbled to himself.

"Where are these coming from?" Yu wondered out loud.

"Saki, how many times do I have to tell you!?" The voice of a middle-aged man shouted out.

"Whoa. Is that… is that supposed to be Konishi's dad?" Junpei asked.

"Yeah." Yosuke said sadly. "I think that's him."

"You know what the neighbors say about you, right!? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You're the eldest daughter of a family who's owned this store for generations! Is it the money? Or did you meet some guy there? Just tell me why you have to work there, of all places!" Saki's father continued.

"Looks like even her family's giving her a rough time." Minato noted with a frown before turning to Yosuke. "Did you know anything about this?"

"N-No…" Yosuke managed to say. "I-I can't believe this. She seemed like she had fun at work. She never said anything like this to me..." He then clenched his hands into fists. "You're telling me this was how Senpai really saw things!?" Yosuke yelled out in anger.

"It's likely." Yu said grimly. "But we can't let this interfere with our investigation. Remember, we just need a clue into who killed Saki. Nothing more. We can work out motives and Saki's personal issues later." Despite it being somewhat cold, Yosuke knew he was right. Everyone looked around before Junpei got everyone's attention.

"Hey, what's over here?" Junpei muttered as he walked up to a nearby table that had shreds of photos on it. He picked up one of the shreds found something on it. "Hey, Yosuke. Check this out."

"Hm?" Yosuke went up to Junpei, who passed him the shred. "Hey… It's the photo we took the other day with the other part-timers at Junes." Yu and Minato walked up to the two and looked at the photo. The shred only depicted Yosuke with a goofy smile on his face and Saki smiling as best as she could.

"She isn't smiling." Minato noted.

"Huh?" Yosuke asked. "What are you talking about?"

"Her smile doesn't reach her eyes." Minato told the Junes employee as he took the shred. "See. Compare your eyes to hers." Yosuke looked closer at the photo and realized that Minato was right. His eyes were closed in upside-down U's with his arm around Saki's shoulder but she only stared at the camera. There was little to no joy in her eyes. At worst… it was misery.

I never had the chance to say it...

"Hey. Isn't that…" Yu started.

"Is that Senpai's voice!?" Yosuke exclaimed.

"Is she talking to us beyond the grave!?" Junpei said in a panicked voice.

"No." Minato said as he narrowed his eyes. "I think… I think these were her last thoughts."

I always wanted to tell Hana-chan...

"Huh? Me…?" Yosuke said, wondering why Saki was thinking about him. He was almost excited. Did she really…

...that he was a real pain in the ass.

The guys' eyes widened as soon as they heard this. Minato looked at Yosuke in pity as he saw the colour drain from his face. He looked like his whole world just shattered in front of him.

I was nice to him just because he was the store manager's son, that's all. But he takes it completely the wrong way and gets all enthusiastic... What a retard.

"P-Pain in the ass?" Yosuke whispered out as he clutched his chest. He wanted to stop listening. To put on his headphones and run away. But he told himself he couldn't. He needed… he wanted…

He didn't know anymore.

Who cares about Junes, anyway? Because of that store, our business is ruined, my parents hate me, the neighbors talk behind my back... I wish everything would just disappear...

"I-It's a lie. This can't be..." Yosuke whispered to himself. "Senpai's not like that!"

"Yosuke. I don't think…" Minato tried to reason only to be interrupted.

"It's so sad... I feel so sorry for myself. Boo hoo..." A creepily familiar voice from behind them said. Everyone turned around, only to be met with…

"Y-Yosuke!?" Junpei exclaimed as he looked between to two, with the other Yosuke walking out from behind a curtain. The only differences between the Yosukes were that the other Yosuke didn't wear glasses, his shadows were accentuated had golden eyes and had this black and purple miasma emitting from him.

"Actually, I'm the one who thinks everything's a pain in the ass." The other Yosuke laughed out.

"H-Huh? Two Yosukes?" Teddie exclaimed, looking both surprised and somewhat confused.

"Who are you!?" Yosuke shouted out as he faced his imposter. "I-I wouldn't think that..." Yosuke's Shadow only laughed at that.

"Yeah, right. How long are you going to keep deluding yourself?" Shadow Yosuke said. "Screw the shopping district, and Junes too! You're sick of everything, especially living out in the sticks!"

"What're you saying!? That's not true, I—" Yosuke said somewhat weakly.

"Alright, enough!" Junpei called out as he got out his Baseball Bat. "Quit spoutin' out crap! I may not known this guy long but like Hell I'm just gonna let you mess with him!"

"Oh really? Because I get the feeling you're kidding yourself too!" Shadow Yosuke told Junpei.

"Wh-What!?" Junpei exclaimed. Suddenly, Yosuke's Shadow started to turn into static before reforming… into Junpei.

"You wanted to be the hero of this story! You wanted to be number one! And yet, you're always playing second fiddle to him." Shadow Junpei said, pointing at Minato. "He's stronger. He's smarter. He has more friends. He gets all the girls. Hell, even when you cheaped out and gave him that dumb stick, he still managed to do better than you in every way. He even got his Persona back without even trying!"

"Huh? What the-Shut up! You're lying!" Junpei yelled out, but a small part in his head telling him it was the truth. Shadow Junpei quickly turned back into Shadow Yosuke and smiled madly.

'Junpei…' Minato thought. He was really worried for the two at this point, and he was sure Yu and Teddie shared the same feelings. Was Junpei… jealous of him? Either way, they couldn't interfere, not unless they wanted to make it worse. Plus, they had no idea what this imposter was capable of.

"And you." Shadow Yosuke said to the real Yosuke. "You put on a good show of being carefree and happy-go-lucky 'cause you're so terrified of being alone. The more the merrier, right? You've gotta be surrounded by people to block out the pain of isolation. And what's this about checking out this world for Saki-senpai's sake? Hah! I know the real reason you came snooping..."

"S-Stop it!" Yosuke begged in a panicked tone. He just wanted this asshole to shut up.

"And I'm not done with you." Shadow Junpei said as he looked at the real Junpei. "Acting all carefree and happy? What a joke! I'm sure dad will make sure to knock that smile off your dumb face. Like it will matter anyway considering you'll probably be forgotten, while Mr. Wild Card will go down in history as the asshole who can save the world with just his mind! I bet even 'Chidorita' will find him a better guy than you!"

"Sh-S-Shut up…" Junpei said quietly.

"Why so panicked? We thought we were just spouting bullshit!" Shadow Yosuke laughed, but his voice was a twisted combination of both Junpei and Yosuke. "Or maybe... we DO know everything you're thinking! Why's that? Because we ARE you! Both of you! You both just came because you two thought it sounded like a good time and a chance to be a hero! What else is there to do out in this shithole? A world inside the TV—now that's exciting! Maybe that'll show whose better! You two didn't have any other reasons for coming here, did you!?"

"Wh-Why is this… thing trying to be both of us at the same time!?" Junpei growled in frustration.

"That's not true..." Yosuke said, close to crying even. "Stop... stop it..."

"You guys are just trying to act like big shots. If all went well, hey, maybe you would both be heroes!" Shadow Junpei/Yosuke continued. "And that Senpai Yosuke was so sweet on? Her death was the perfect excuse for both of you!"

"That's not true! What are you!? Who are you!?" Yosuke yelled out, having enough of the imposter telling him lie after lie.

"You better tell us or I swear…" Junpei growled as Shadow Yosuke/Junpei chuckled.

"We already told ya." Shadow Yosuke/Junpei said."We're you! Your Shadow! There's nothing we don't know about you two!"

"Screw that! I don't know you!" Yosuke shouted out as loudly as he could. "You don't know either of us!"

"Like Hell you know us!" Junpei exclaimed. "I'm not him! I am myself!"

"AND YOU CAN'T BE ME, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Both Yosuke and Junpei yelled out in unison. There a silence after that, both boys trying to catch their breath. Shadow Junpei/Yosuke only cackled madly at this.

"That's right, say it again!" The Shadow of the Wannabe Heroes said. They both hesitated, but the grin on the imposter's face pissed them off.

"You're not me! YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE ME!" Yosuke yelled out desperately, as if to convince himself.

"No way in a million years will you ever be me!" Junpei yelled out as well. "YOU AREN'T ME!"

Suddenly, both Yu and Minato felt that was a really bad idea. Especially when Shadow Yosuke/Junpei started to laugh.

'This is not gonna be good…' Both Yu and Minato thought as they started to take out their weapons.

"Ha! That's right. We are NEITHER of you! I am ME now." Shadow Junpei/Yosuke said as the miasma started to flare, drawing more and more Shadows into it. Minato felt choked under the atmosphere of the liquor store now. "I'm not any of you any more, see!?" Suddenly, Shadow Yosuke/Junpei started to glow as Junpei started to yell in pain. It felt like something was tearing him apart from the inside.

"Junpei!" Minato cried out for his friend, unable to see what was happening and extremely worried for him.

"Yosuke!" Yu called out as he saw Yosuke starting to collapse.

"You're… not… me…" Yosuke managed to let out as he fell unconscious, while Junpei fell unconscious from the pain he endured. Then, the light died down, revealing the fact that they were no longer in the liquor store.

It was an arena.

(Cue I'll Face Myself -Battle- from Persona 4 -Reincarnation- Soundtrack)

Minato, Yu and Teddie stared in awe at the enemy in front of them. It could really only be described as a Disco Ninja Frog which vaguely represented what a superhero would look like, except the giant golden wings on its back and smaller wings on the back of each leg, wearing Hermes' helmet with those shuriken things popping out the holes, and has gold airplane wings on its sides.

All in all, it was a hideous fusion of Hermes and Yosuke's Shadow Berserk Form.

"Well… never seen this before…" Minato said quietly.

"We are a Shadow… the true self…" Shadow Yosuke/Junpei declared. "And I'll burn and blow anything and everything away we hate." It then stared down at Yu and Minato. "Including you!"

"Teddie! Get Yosuke and Junpei out of here!" Yu commanded as they both jumped back, Minato pulling out his Evoker while Yu summoned his card.

"On it Sensei!" Teddie replied as he grabbed the two unconscious boys before sniffing the air. "Wah! Watch out, it's going to attack!"

"Huh?" Yu said before seeing Shadow Yosuke/Junpei charging up its attack. "Dammit! Izanagi!"

"Orpheus!" Minato shouted out as both he and Yu summoned their Personas, but were too late as Shadow Yosuke/Junpei unleashed its attack.

"Take this! WINDS OF OBLIVION!" It shouted out as it a powerful gust wind burst forth from it. Minato was blown away by the attack and his back hit one of the steel beams in the arena. Minato groaned in pain as he got up. His Persona was fine, relatively speaking. Yu, however, wasn't looking to well. He was clutching onto his arm, with Izanagi looking like it would fade into static at any minute. Minato picked himself up before picking up Yu and treating him with some Medicine. "How long can you survive this?"

"This isn't looking good…" Yu growled, wiping the blood off his chin.

"This one's much tougher than the last type! Be careful! Whenever you feel threatened, just defend yourself!" Teddie called out from behind a pillar before taking a sniff. "You're weak to Wind, Yu-sensei! You won't last long against it unless you do something about it! But I think…" Teddie then took another sniff. "Yes! IT'S WEAK TO ELECTRICITY!" Yu and Minato smirked at this.

"Light 'em up, Narukami!" Minato called out as Yu stood up.

"Izanagi! Zio!" Yu shouted out. The now normal-looking Izanagi nodded and quickly summoned some lightning upon the monstrosity, causing it to yell out in pain.

"Let's see if you can handle this!" Minato said before pointing at Shadow Yosuke/Junpei. "Agi!" Orpheus quickly fired and hit the Shadow, only for it to shrug off the attack. "Right! Junpei's Persona resists Fire." Minato cursed to himself for his own forgetfulness as Shadow Junpei/Yosuke got back up.

"You'll pay for this!" Shadow Yosuke/Junpei roared out. "LIGHTNING OF EXTINCTION!"

"Oh sh-" Minato didn't get to complete that sentence as he felt the equivalent of a Ziodyne applied violently to his face so fast that Yu couldn't react in time. "ARGH!" He yelled in pain before collapsing to the ground, barely conscious.

"Heh… that's it?" Shadow Yosuke/Junpei taunted. "Boring…"

"We… can't keep this up…" Minato groaned as he slowly stood up, barely standing on his two feet. He was almost completely drained, but he knew that running away wasn't an option. He quickly took out some Medicine and started repairing his wounds. "Yu! Hit its weakness again!" Yu nodded and quickly knocked it down.

"It's down!" Yu called out. "You think we can go all out!?"

"It's now or never!" Minato shouted out. "TAKE IT DOWN!"

"Let's end this…" Yu muttered before they both charged at the Shadow. They both let out primal war cries as they commanded their Personas to attack as well, only for Shadow Junpei/Yosuke to grab both of their Personas. Yu and Minato stopped in their tracks, feeling the Shadow squeeze on their Personas' bodies. They both yelled out in extreme pain, but managed to return their Personas back to the Sea of Their Souls to prevent more damage. They collapsed to their knees but they still got up.

"Still alive, I see. Well then, how well can you handle this!" Shadow Yosuke/Junpei said as it started charging up its next attack.

"Not happening! Persona!" Yu yelled out, summoning Izanagi once more to cast more lightning upon it, before Yu quickly sent him back when the Shadow tried to punch it.

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Shadow Junpei/Yosuke yelled out before unleashing another Wind of Oblivion. Minato and Yu quickly held their ground and shielded themselves from the mighty gust of air, only pushing them back slightly. Yu stopped blocking, only to get grabbed by the Shadow. "GOT YOU!"

"Damn it!" Yu shouted out before summoning his card. He was about to summon Izanagi but Shadow Yosuke/Junpei's grip tightened around him, causing him clench his hand before the card was even near it. "AAAAHHHH!"

"Narukami!" Minato shouted out before being grabbed as well. He tried to struggle out of the Shadow's grip but only managed to get his arm out. He tried to reach for Yu, who was yelling out in immense pain while still trying summon Izanagi if the card in front of him was any indication, but accidentally summoned his new Evoker into his hand. "Huh?" He said as he stared at his new Evoker but quickly shook his head and placed the glowing blue gun against his head. But…

Something was preventing him from pulling the trigger.

He was completely out of energy. Yu was completely out of energy. If he were to summon Orpheus, he would only be hurting himself.

There was little to no chance they could get out of this alive.

Suddenly, he remembered Igor's words from this morning.

"We will meet again, and when you do, you will not be alone. But remember, your bonds will play a much more important role than your previous journey."

'There's something important there… c'mon! Think!' Minato thought as he looked at his Evoker before looking at Yu's card.

Suddenly, it clicked.

"Yu! Do you trust me!?" Minato called out. Yu winced and looked at Minato before looking at his card. He didn't know what he was planning, nor did he know if he should.

But right now. It didn't matter. Yu looked into Minato's eyes and saw they needed 100% complete trust in each other for Minato's plan to work.

"…I do!" Yu called back. "DO IT!"

"SAY GOOD-BYE!" Shadow Yosuke/Junpei yelled out as it pulled its arms back, ready to crush the two between its hands. For Minato and Yu, time slowed down to a crawl. As they were approaching each other at high speed, Minato cocked his handgun, took aim and fired.

Right into Yu's Tarot Card.

"PERSONA!" Minato and Yu shouted out before being blinded.

Teddie poked his head out when he didn't hear any squishing noises nor the sounds of bone crunching. Teddie made sure to close one of his eyes, only to gasp at the sight presented to him.

The torso, left arm and right leg of Orpheus.

The trench coat, the right arm and left leg of Izanagi.

Orpheus' harp and Izanagi's naginata on its back.

And Orpheus' and Izanagi's heads split down the middle.

And right now, he was holding Shadow Yosuke/Junpei's arms apart.

"S-Sensei…" Teddie said in awe at the new Persona.

"Izanagi…Orpheus." Yu and Minato said in unison.

(Cue Reach Out For The Truth -First Battle-)

"Wh-What the Hell is this shit!?" Shadow Junpei/Yosuke exclaimed. Minato and Yu only smirked at that, now feeling ready to take it on.

"Megidola." They both said. Their combined… their Synchronized Persona only nodded before summoning a large ball of element-less energy above the Shadow.

"OH SHIT!" The Shadow yelled as it dropped the two boys. Their Persona caught them and put them feet first on the ground as the Almighty attack hit the Shadow, causing a heavy amount of damage to be inflicted upon it.

They felt… good.

Their thoughts. Their breathing. Their heartbeats. Their very souls. Completely in synch with each other.

"You two are getting to be a real pain…" It growled. "Alright, I'm gonna crush you with everything I got!" Both Yu and Minato stayed silent, feeling their combined power flow through them. It only seemed to anger the Shadow. "GO AWAY!" It yelled out as it created another Wind of Oblivion. In perfect unison, Minato and Yu blocked the attack without moving an inch.

"Zionga." Yu and Minato said. Suddenly, a large bolt of lightning was cast upon the Shadow, damaging it even more.

"NO!" It yelled before charging at the two.

"Stop it." Yu and Minato simply said. Suddenly, their Synchronized Persona appeared in front of Shadow Yosuke/Junpei and grabbed it by the neck.

"LET GO OF ME, ASSHOLE!" The Shadow demanded.

"Okay." Minato and Yu said before pointing down to the ground. Suddenly, the Shadow was slammed straight into the ground. By now, it was almost ready to kneel over.

But, they had one more thing they wanted to try.

"Truth." Yu started.

"Or Death?" Minato finished. The Persona quickly formed and symbol in front of them, resembling a roulette wheel. One half was yellow, the other half was blue with a red triangle at the bottom. It then spun around before the red triangle pointed at a colour.

It was blue.

"Death." Yu and Minato declared. The Persona flew up into the air and created a ball of energy and size of the moon in an instant. The Shadow screamed, staring up at its impending doom.

"Wa-Wait! NOOOO!" It cried out.

"Izanagi-Orpheus!" Minato and Yu called out, raising their hands into the air. "Finish it. PERSONA!"

And with that, the battle ended.

(End Music)

Minato and Yu looked at Izanagi-Orpheus, before they separated back into Orpheus and Izanagi, then disappearing. "Think we went a little too overboard?" Yu asked.

"Maybe." Minato replied, disregarding the fact that the arena was just a really big crater in the ground now. As Konishi Liquors started to reform, Yosuke started to awaken. Yu and Minato kneeled to the ground, too tired to stand up. "We are not going to do that again…"

"At least for emergencies." Yu suggested as he managed to pick himself up and went up to Yosuke and Junpei. Yosuke was just getting up while Junpei was still unconscious. "Yosuke, how are you feeling?"

"I… I…" Yosuke managed to get out. The whole experience was just… well, he couldn't describe it. Actually, he could barely remember it.

"Yosuke, are you okay!?" Teddie cried out.

"Y-Yeah..." Yosuke muttered as he shook the cobwebs from his head before seeing Junpei's state. "What happened? What happened to Junpei?"

"Guys…" Minato called out. The others looked where Minato was and saw Shadow Yosuke standing there with a blank look on his face, occasionally flickering out into Shadow Junpei before switching back. The black and purple miasma was now light blue and black.

"You... You're... not me..." Yosuke said weakly. "You're not any of us…"

"That thing came from you, Yosuke. It may be Junpei's Shadow too, but it was originally your Shadow." Teddie told Yosuke. "You have to admit it, or it'll go berserk again..." Yosuke made a face of reluctance, but then felt a hand on both his shoulders. He looked and saw it was Yu and Minato.

"Everyone has a darker side to themselves." Minato said.

"You just have to be brave." Yu said in a friendly tone. Yosuke still looked hesitant, but quickly shook his head.

He knew what he had to do.

"A dark side… brave…" Yosuke sighed. "Dammit, it hurts to face yourself…" He said as he walked up to his Shadow. "I knew it wasn't lying… but I was so ashamed that I didn't want to admit it. You're me... and I'm you. When you get down to it, all of this is me." Shadow Yosuke/Junpei smiled before glowing blue.

"Huh…?" Junpei groaned as he got up, finally awakening. He joined the group just in time to see the Shadow transform.

The arms of Hermes. The torso and legs of Jiraiya. Hermes' torso becoming a jacket for Jiraiya. And golden wings on the side of Jiraiya's head, the back of his legs, arms and back.

"Jiraiya-Hermes…" Yosuke and Junpei muttered to themselves before the Persona separated into just Jiraiya and Hermes before turning into a Magician Tarot Card and a glowing blue gun respectively, landing in the hands of their wielders.

"This is my Persona…" Yosuke muttered to himself as a warm feeling went around his body. He felt… complete now.

"Good to have you back Hermes." Junpei said with smirk before turning to Minato. "Um… about that thing… my-well, me and Yosuke's Shadow I guess. Er… I was-"

"I don't care." Minato said off-handedly before smiling at him and hugging him. "I'm just glad you're fine."

"Thanks." Junpei said before they let go before heading towards Yu, Yosuke and Teddie.

"When we heard Senpai's voice…" Yosuke said quietly, too tired to stand up and opting for crouching on the ground. "I wonder if that was something Senpai had been keeping deep down inside." He then chuckled to himself. "'He was a real pain in the ass,' huh? What a way to find out. Geez, this is so embarrassing..."

"Well, on the bright side…" Junpei started before he started actually thinking about it. "Um… yeah, I don't think there is a bright side here but at least we're alive. Plus, we have Personas now!"

"And it looks like you two can do the same thing Yu-sensei and Minato-sensei did." Teddie added in.

"Wait, what did they do?" Yosuke asked before shaking his head and turning his head to Minato and Yu. "Actually, we can find out later. If you guys weren't here, I don't know what woulda happened... Thanks, Yu, Minato." Junpei then realized something.

"Hey, if our Shadow attacked us, did it happen to Saki Konishi as well?" Junpei asked.

"I've been wondering that too…" Yosuke muttered.

"I think so. The Shadows here were originally born from humans. Sometimes the fog clears. Then they all go berserk... and you saw what happens next. A strong-willed Shadow draws others to it. And the big mass of Shadows kills the host." Teddie explained in a somewhat grim tone.

"So that's why people die when it gets foggy in our world..." Yosuke said.

"And that would explain how the cause of death couldn't be determined for the announcer and Konishi." Yu realized.

"The murderer throws them into the TV, they get killed by their Shadow, and then the murderer goes into the TV and hangs 'em up on something like telephone poles or antennas." Junpei summarized. "And since they didn't necessarily kill them, the murderer wouldn't leave behind any evidence."

"Maybe DNA or fingerprints on their clothes but I highly doubt it…" Minato guessed. "But otherwise, it's the perfect crime. I mean, who would use a TV as a murder weapon?"

"Other than bash their heads in, no one." Yosuke said before he and Junpei groaned. They were really tired now.

"Junpei and Yosuke's pretty worn out..." Teddie said. "This world isn't made for humans. It's not comfortable for you here. I don't hear any more voices. I think we're done with this place. Let's go back."

"I think we had enough of this place for a lifetime." Minato said before he helped Yosuke up. And with that, they all headed back to the entrance, not realizing a giant blob of static was observing them this entire time.

Save Game… Quit!

Whew! Done! By the way, if you're wondering why Junpei has a Shadow now despite me saying all the Social Links were done: The time SEES came from was before they unlocked their Ultimate Personas, so it doesn't mean they've found their resolve. Plus, they never earned their Personas. They were just given a gun and shot themselves to force them out. At least to my knowledge.

Oh, and I did this because boredom.
