(AN: Not really much to say, I decided to skip to after they had explained their adventures and how personas/combat worked. Just go to the shin megami tensei wiki if you don't know the plot. As well, Megan also decided to join the SSS. BTW this chapter's intro has mega ultra spoilers for the ending of P4. Once again, please review. I'd like to have more than five before chapter twelve, if it's possible.

Review responses:

Blazehawkins: Thanks for your kind words, and yeah, I am kind of forcing the plot, once I get through all the exposition I'll slow down with some humorous filler here and there.)

"… and that's how we defeated Izanami and lifted the lies from the people of the world. Souji allowed himself a small grin, thinking of how awesome that made him seem. He had skipped over what had happened while he dead/unconscious, not because he didn't want to admit he needed help or anything, but because he had never told anyone about before. What if they thought he was just using them to get power? He had thought to himself many a time. Although the persona enhancements were certainly a bonus, he deeply cared about every single one of them. He decided he would privately tell Eric later though, as he deeply suspected, the younger bearer of the wild card most likely needed to form them himself, and it was an excellent example of how useful they were.

He was woken from his thoughts when Robert posed a question. "Then why are there still shadows?" He replied with a simple "We don't know."

"Any ideas?"

"It could be that some people formed new hidden, repressed sides or that they once again succumbed to hate and anger. Or it could just be that some people hadn't really been trying to repress the sides or didn't notice they were there, so they weren't lying, only ignorant, therefore being passed over in the lifting of the lies from humanity." That came from Yukiko

"But how can you just not notice a part of yourself?" Eric spoke up.

"People can be pretty stupid. Sometimes they see only what they what to see, and not what's really there." Yosuke said with a sigh. He knew how they thought; he had been just like them until that fateful year. Not that he had realised that flaw, it was hard not to criticise other people for it.

Eric had one more question.

"How did you all end up here?" It seemed weird to him that everyone at the school had a persona when most other people didn't. Junpei took care of that one,

"Whoever owns Shico somehow finds us persona users and then offers us a scholar ship or a job in the city. Or they buy out our family businesses. They send us here, and explain the situation when we arrive. They ask us to join the SSS, but so far everyone besides us, you guys and the rest of our old groups has turned em down. They still attend, and they're taught how to use personas for their own safety." Eric wondered how the hell the chairmen or C.E.O or whatever of the company managed to track them down or afford the school/city.

Megan meanwhile had noticed a flaw in their plan. "How are we going to get rid of them all if we're stuck here?" She pointed out. What, are they going to send us out all over the world? She thought. That would be very irresponsible, not to mention dangerous.

"The scientists working for Shico have managed to find a way to draw them here. They're drawn to the same thing that makes them, negative emotions, hidden sides. Probably cause once you get enough little shadows, they sometimes merge into a big one, and the more shadows around, the stronger the big one. And where could you find more of those then a city full of teens that are know about these sides and feelings? After all, they're gonna spend a lot of time being emo about it." Junpei replied. If any of them were like him, they'd react in 3, 2, and 1- bingo. Megan, Eric and Robert had just realised they and their peers were pretty much bait, and they were not happy?

"—at a huge risk here," Eric.

"Someone could die!" Megan.

" This is… there is no word for this!" Robert. Mitsuru stood up and raised her voice sharply, saying "Please, calm down! I understand your concern, but there are precautions in place. We will inform all students at the next assembly in a few days, and all who wish to return home may. We will train all students on how to deal with shadows. As well, it seems that shadows only go after viable threats, as they only have before gone as far as knocking someone unconscious before focusing on another target. Not to mention the fact that one of the members of the SSS is on emergency call at all times."

"… Alright. But if one person who isn't is the SSS dies, I'm out. We understand the risks, we joined. But these guys…" Eric said shaking his head.

(Ok, this is really only half a chapter. I realised it'll be awhile before I'm done, so I'll just give you this bit now. It's a good enough cut off point, and I'm gonna be busy with school as I just got back from Christmas vacation. Please review. Peace out…)
