Hey guys, and possibly females. I don't really have much to say this time. Vote on the poll, review, all that. Also, I give huge thanks to Sethfavor for helping me edit and write this chapter and the next couple as well. I am going to change the description to reflect this fact, but he is now my co-writer on this story. And I strongly recommend that, if he ever uploads something, you go and read it. Now, with all that out of the way, on to the story!

As I wake up, I instantly notice something very odd. I realize I'm in a cell, but it's not a jail cell. It's way too big for that. I try to keep calm and take in my surroundings. It was a cell. It was a giant room, about 120 feet across and 70 feet high. It was gray concrete, and had steel bars all over one side of the wall. I noticed Sarah and Mia still passed out on the floor. I decide to go check on them and they seemed fine.

"It's about time you got up! Holding down the fort was starting to be a bit difficult!"

I turned around to see a man walking toward me. He had bright green eyes and thin lips, like mine own. He was about two inches taller than myself and had black hair that fell into his eyes. Just looking at him showed me that he was incredibly strong. He wasn't outright muscular, but he was carrying a giant halberd that I knew that even I would have had trouble lifting.

"Come on then, we gotta get out of here! Why are you just standing around? We gotta go!"

I saw a Shadow walk by the cell from the corner of my eye. SHIT! I don't have an Evoker! The Shadow charged us.

I woke up. Despite the fact that it was a dream, and I knew it, something about it felt too real. Who was that other guy? Why was he in there with myself and Sarah? Why the hell were he and Mia somewhere that Shadows frequented?

"'Bout time you got the hell up. The other bastard is being cryptic. I asked what the fuck was going on with you and he said something about premonition and his abilities and shut up. Even taunting him won't garner a reaction. Could you talk to him?"

"Right. Give me a minute."

I decided to just shake off the cold sweat that clung to me like some kind of parasite and take a shower. After my shower, I grabbed my Evoker just in case and went to my couch.

"Hey, Absol! I gotta talk to you about something!"

Personas tend to have to respond if their master calls. They are part of the human, after all. Sure enough, Absol appeared in the middle of the room. In cases like this, without being summoned, the Persona cannot attack, but is able to talk to and be seen by those who have a Persona of their own.

"What do you want?"

"Beldum said that you are having some issues. Do you need to talk?"

"It's nothing. I am just tired. My ability as a Persona is to predict disasters and forsee what might become of them."

"Strange, I had a dream about some man that I have never seen before acting like he knew me quite well. Then we got attacked by a giant Shadow. Does that have anything to do with your current situation?"

He chuckled wryly.

"It seems that, as my master, you share this ability to predict disasters. I suggest you take this as a warning sign and prepare for a moment such as that."

"Alright then, I'll take you at your word. I guess by 'prepare' you mean to kill more Shadows, and grow much more powerful. That's fine, I was gonna do that anyway! Alright then, if that is all, then I have to get ready. Piss off."

I decide to go and eat breakfast, even though it is a little late. I check my watch while waiting for my bagel to finish toasting and see that it's 1p.m. And I have a new message from Mia saying that the football game is at 6 and to meet them at the "hangout" at around 5:30 so that gives my plenty of time to prepare.

As I arrive at the hangout, I am greeted by Sarah, seeing how I'm really early I'm surprised to see her, but I don't mind one little bit. Out of everyone in the group I can connect with her more than anyone. We sit and talk, reminiscing about the old days and generally having a great time, and then we get to the subject of last night. I decide to explain everything to her, after the game. We continue to talk until Mia shows up at 5:45, on time like always. We decided to just walk to the game because it wasn't very far, but Mia wanted to drive. We didn't want to try and park because it was bound to be crowded game. When we get there the game was 2 minutes into the first quarter, because Mia insisted we stop for a pizza from my favorite pizza joint. Somehow the Blue Pandas where already up 6 points. I chuckled.

"Let the games begin."
